Let US, especially, never forgetsenal mos,
important question. Let us never forget
the awful effects Of the high tariff on this
country. Let US never forget its effect
on breadstufs in England-or, in other
words, the corn laacs. A high tnriffis an
insult to all civilized nations. Why do
Whig and Tory press Of England repud:-
ate Cass and Butler, and extol Gen. Tny-
lor and the Wigs Of this country? Gov.
ernment itself is but q necessary evil. 1t
is a fact, if m unjust lam is made, innocent
individuals become its victims. But the
great object OF good and honest govern
ment ought to be the greatest blessing to
lhe greatest number. All sensible men
know that honest government cannot leg
isa,e money into the pockets of the people;
and>all the people con honestly or reason
ably expect Of government is. tha, it will
so legsla,e as to do equal justice to all.
As we have a government oil this kind, let
US do our u:tertnost 10 preserve and per-
petua.e it.
