WH[G PREDICTIONS.

| The Wings in every section ofcountry were
porraying the ruin and misery that were
| likely to be brought about by the passage of
the present Tariff. What has been the CON
sequence SO far! Wheat and all kinds of grain,
demand much higher price than was given
previous to its passage The manufacturers
are not ruined, but are getting along fine. In
fact, every thing is in as successful operation
as could be expected. Well now, ifthe Tar.
iff was to bring about all the rum that the
wings said it would, then the result being diff
ferent, must be attributed to it, and the Dem
ocracy are entitled to the praise. If prices
had become extremely low, under the new
Tarn,the Democrats would heave been charg-
ed with the whole oft, and the whig papers
would have painted ofthe great amount of mis-
cry brought upon the people by locofoco
legislation in great style. But since the
Tar + has operated so well, and to the inter-
est of the whole community at large the Whig
papers do not give the praise to the locofocos.
1t is said to be a poor rule that will not work
both ways ard we think it is poor party
that will not admit the good results of law
because it operates better then they wished it
to do.
The following from The Maumee River
Times, shows things in little different light
from what was expected about the passage
of the new Tariff. This paper is whig, and
probably will try and put some other coloring
upon its article hereafter.
Just let us have the good old hard currency,
and Danish all monopolies, and then we will
see more real happiness and prosperity than
any set of Bankers or other monopolies can
possibly yield.
The TarIner-.The Markets.
No Farmer can well complain Of the pres
ent prices of the products of his farm, but on
the contrary, he has every encouragement to
increase his crops, and SOW more seed, and
whatsoever he may SOW, he will most assured
ly reap in abundance, provided it be propi-
tious season. There has not been SO favora-
BILE a prospectfor several years as the present,
time, and the proba0llltes are that the future
affords. Plant more corn, and potatoes. sow
more oats, barley, flaxseed, &C., &C., and
when you come to reckon your gains, and put
the proceeds thereof in your pockets, and see
the bright silver dollars shining 'tho' the in
terstices ofyour long purses" it will maxi e
you "laugh out of both sides of your mouths.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION.

The committee on roads reported that "be-
lievng the subject is not well understood BY the
people of the state generally" and that there is
no imperative necessity for immediate action
upon this subject" they "therefore recommend
that all further consideration be postponed until
the meeting OF the next Legislature of this
State"
Mr. Kttredge, of f., doubicdlf it would be
strictly in order to postpone: tout he concurrcd
with the committee that it would be ineXpedient
for the Legislature to actor rather, that the
bill ought not to be passed. The people, he said,
were not prepared for this question.
Mr. Carpenter of N. thought II would be very
extraordinary if the House should refuse to act,
and thus throw away the immense labor already
bestowed upon the subject He wished the bill
10 be made a special order.

should be no postponement, no avoiding of re-

Every thing denoted intense excitement
at Tampico among Americans.
Santa Anna had issued q proclamation,
in which he declares that most unexampled
distress exists in the Mexican Army, and
declars his determination Immediately to
march and attack the enemy. He also
advises his soldiers to procure their pro-

\ Passengers who left Brazos on the 2Sth
ult,, state that it was reported there that
General Taylor was retreating upon Mon
tery. pursued by Santa Anna at the head
of $4,000 Mexican troops. The report
was very much doubted. Capt. Hughes,
who had lett Gen. Taylor, states that he
was then quietly encamped with 5000 mer
beyond Saltillo, where he would remain
until the lst Of April. Letters published
in the New Orleans Picayune say that Col
Morgan had given orders for stopping al
the trains between Camargo and Monterey
in consequence Of the arrival. .of an express
from Gen. Taylor, notifying him of th'
approach ofa large body of Mexicans.
Mejia with a largeforce was at Linares
and it was supposed that he designed to maxi
an attack upon Matamoras. II was als'
supposed that Santa Anna was making ,
feint upon Saltillo for the purpose of ou
generating Taylor. Gen. Worth ha
sailed for Tampico. There was consider
able sickness among the Mississippi troop
at Brazos, and there had been nine deaths
1t appears certain that the Mexicans are
almost destitute of supplies.
