thought to be settled On the census of Is45.

Prospects nnder the present Tariff.


+ The sudden rise of all agricultural pro-
ducts since the last arrivals, is but an ev.
idence of the prospect of our future pros.
Perity. The wing predictions of "ruin"
and disaster" which was to- follow sub.
seszsent toithe repeal of the tariff of az.
have entirely tailed. The receipts Of the
Custom House 10 New York, since the
tariff of '46 took effect, give an increase
oisome Copper cent, over the correspond,
ing period Ufthe year previous. Produce
OF all kinds are speedily going forward in
such immense quantities, that freights are
higher now than they were during any
period undeE the wing tariff of ~. In
stead of the manufacturers closing up their
| establishments, in accordance with the
promises of protectionists, they Mt present
manifest prosperity. The farmer and the
mechanic begin to see the dawn of the
prosperity which will result from our pres.
ent system. .a :'s- sd
It will require but brief period of ad
herence to the present system of duties, to
convince all of its utility. Let the tariff
OF '46 remain as it is, and few years will
suffice to establish its permanency. Tho
it may be restrictive in some particulars,
still it is perhaps. as liberal as the reven.
ue of the country will permit. ao7
We are aware that the increased ex.
poriation of all agricultural products is at
tribu,ed TO failure Of crops. by the pro-
tectlonists. But to this we cannot agree.
The free trade measures which have been
under way for some time past in Great
Britain, and to the repeal Of the tariff Of
az, are the causes TO which this increase
may be attributed. That the failure ofthe
potatoes in Ireland. have in some de gree
aided in producing market for some OF
our products, is admitted, but is there q
prospect Of this evil ceasing. The future
demand for our products abroad, can only
be impeded b; our refusing their products
in exchange, and thereby deprlying them
ofthe means of making payment, by pro-
prohibiting their importation, by system
of unjust duties. The farmers Of tbi.
country, and the west in particular, car

Affairs in Ireland are growing worse
Riots are prevalent and the poorer people

Parliament convened on the 9th, and
was opened by The Ques n in person. In
her speech she refers to Ireland, aud rec
ommcnds to parliament to increase for a
Limited period the facilities for importing
corn from foreign countries. and thinks
that this. and the admission of sugar more
freely into breweries and distilleries, the
supply of food may be benefcially aug
