u The Bowling Green Journal contains
all INSCRIPTIONS article, commenting freely,
and sometimes falsely, upon the proceed
ings of the democratic meeting held in the
Court House on the 9TH inst. But possess
ing a mind of an argumentative cast, the
writer could not c%onfine himself to mere
comments, upon the proceedings of the
meeting, but boldly ventured upon a tariff
argument in reply to remarks made by DR..
Welborn in a speech upon that occasion.
He says:
And he could prove with the same facility
that if the "starvation" Of the old world
continues so as to compel them to continue
to buy of US from a hundred to a thousand
times as much produce as they did under
the tariff of '42, when no famine existed,
that We shall be quite sure to raise more
revenue under the present than under the
former tariff, and it would be quite as easy
to demonstrate that if the tariff of '42 had
been in operation during the past year
millions of dollars would have come into
the treasury in this our time Of need, more
than the tariff Of '46 has afforded.
Tits caps all the tariff arguments we have
ever yet seen in print, or heard from man,
and deserves to be "handcd around" to the
everlasting credit of the editor Of the Jour-
nal. He here assumes and argues to this
effect: That the amount Of revenue COL
lected by the government depends upon the
exports, instead of the imports of the coun-
try. That because the United States have
a larger amount of produce to Europe
than ~ususal, under the tariff Of '46, she
oughtnecessarily to have collected a larger
amount of revenue from that produce
This surely is the first time that any person
ever heard Of the United States taxing the
produce exportedto foreign markets! Veri-
ly, Whigery is so given to restricting the
farming interest, by emitting of his markets,
that an editor really thinks and that it is
right no doubt that ON revenue is raised
from taxes imposed directly upon the wheat
and corn sent abroad by the farmers. He
argued too, that the liberal policy of the
tariff of ZIG done nothing to bring about
this increase in the exports of the country,
and consequent high prices; that it was
uH the result of a famine in Europe. The
gentleman forgot that a similar rise has
taken place, as well as, an increase in expor-
tation in. articles that are not eatable, as

An ARRAY occurred at Norfolk, Va, twol
weeks ago between MI. Leonard White and
Mr.. Albert Beale, which resulted in the
death of the latter shortly after. 1t seems
that the deceased in his dissipation had
beaten his wife, and her mother, in o very
brutal manner. Mr.. Beale, the brother of
his wife, hearing Of the outrage fell upon
White Immediately, and during the sfray
stabbed him MORALLY.
The New York Tribune has raised the
of Henry Clay to its mast head, for the
Presidency in '4s. Taylor will not do for
the Tribune now on the Tariff and Bank
questions. The Tribune is a leading organ
of the Wing party.
