The Tariff OF AZ was adopted by the assistance
of democratic votes and overthrown by the as
sistance OF Southern Wing votes. We do not say
that more is due to the Democrats than Wings /;
we mean only TO say that it could not have been
adopted had not Democrats voted for it, and it
could not have been overthrown had not Wings
voted against it There is no security, and eau
be none, for the Tariff or any Industrial measure
until the slave power is brought under. Van
Buren, and host of Democrats have united with
Wings and Liberty men, under the name Of Free
Soil men, to'put it down. Come and join them,
ests OF free labor and free men, against the power
of their Southern nemes.-Rorbury Gazette.

The BIBLE. The bible, said Robert Hail. is
the treasure OF the poor, the solace OF the SICK
and the support Of the dying; and while other
books may amuse and instruct in leisure hour,
1t is the peculiar triumph OF that book to create
light in the midst of darkness, to alleviate the
sorrow which admits OF no other alienation, TO
directa beam OF hope to the heart, which no 9TH
err topic of consolation can reach; while guilt, de-
spair, and death vanish at the touch of its holy
inspiration. There is something in the spirit and
diction OF the Bible which Is found peculiarly adj
apted to arrest the attention of the plainest and
most uncullivated minds The simple structure
OF its sentences, combined with lofty spirit OF
poetry-its familiar illusions in the scenes OF ma
ture and the transactions OF common life-the de-
lightful intermxt,Ire ofnarraton with the doc
trinal and perceptive parts-and the proiusion Of
miraculous facts which convert it into sort OF
enchanted ground-its constant adherence to the
Deity, whose projections il renders almost visible
and palpable--unite in bestowing upon it an in.
terest which is attached to no other performance
and which, after assiduous and repeated perusal;
like the great orb of day, at which we are wont TO
gaze with undated establishment from infancy 10

The News BY THE WAsHINGroN.-The news
brought by the Washington, are too little in
detail to understand some things announced
The main facts given, says the Cincinnati
Chronicle, correspond entirely with the opin-
ions we have expressed, that the tendency of
things is TO war. The principal facts mention
ed are:
lst. The meeting in Dublin, and the propo-
sition to meet it by arms, if necessary. I'd.
The suspension of the Bank of France, and the
decree making paper money legal tender-at-
tended by many failures 3. The rumor that
France intended the invasion of Austria.
The last statement must, we think, be incor-
rect. All Of these however, tend towards war.
If the British Government suppress an Irish
meeting by force, it will be decisive, one way
or the other. AT any rate, it will be the first
blow for war. If France attempts to interfere
with Austria, that will make war inevitable
All these things prove that events are drawing
rapidly towards another general convulsion
from which, no nan can tell what may emerge
We must await events. s.sit.ss
The first real abiding effect is seen in the
general depression of funds, and the confusion
of business. This is injurious, and will be fell
in this country, but will be counteracted, by Z
tendency 10 invest in American Stocks and
property, as safer than anything in Europe. q
This batch ofnews leaves us yet more anxi
Gus to hear the intelligence. The Irish crisi:
| is one Of intense interest. The Commercial
crisis is one of vast importance. The war cri
sis is deeply exciting 10 all minds. We wal
further intelligence with Impotence.
! GEN. PILLow's TRIAL.-We have no furthe
accounts of the progress of the trial in Mexico
At the close of MIR. Freaner's testimony, tn
court decided, that if, on the examination 0
the witnesses in Mexico, it should deem tn
