The News might we'll have added, it cannot

character of tho late canvass. ln IL no Pr'u'

the Democrats to keep steady, and calmly

proved By past experience, that the Wing party
cannot administer the Government, and that the
country always looks to the Democracy to lead
her GU, of the difficulties in which their oppot
nents involve her. All will yet come right-bu
let the Democrats stand TO their arms.
The New, thinks that an increase OF duties on

nublc debt--bul we have no doubt tina, Mr.. Wal
ker will demonstrate, in bis Report, that the pre-
sen. Tariff will be amply sufficient 10 meet all
the exigencies Of The country
The News wishes 10 see the "abomination" oil
the Sub-Treasufy driven from the land" "ear-
nestly advises he repeal OF this miserable abor-
lion" and adds General Taylor, we conceive,

We fear, the News is mistaken in its opinion
that The Wimot Proviso will not pass Congress
aud that, should it pass, Gen. Taylor will veto
it "as certain as The question arises But sup.
pose The "palpablo infringement" Of the Consti
tuition should receive the Presidents signature,
does the News advise the South to "acquieice,'
as Mr.. Gentry and other Southern Wings re-
commendl Before this ugly question shall be
adjusted tho Tay oriles, we fear, will have cause
to rue the day that they ridiculed platforms"
and escb-wed declarations of principles. =
But it will be not only themselves as party that
will suEer-we fear that the whole nation ard
the Union will receive severe shock from this
exciting question
