been respectable. Why did lhey not clap the
climax Of their volarous determination to ''fght

Such conclusion would have as much sense

have made the period yet more sonorous Than

Seriously, however. Il cannot escape the OBJ
scryalion Of any attentive reader that these re-
solutions, very positive and degnatcal about
distractions Of comparatively small or at least
remote consequences, carefully avoid any COM
itment upon the actual practical issues between
the two great political parties Of the country;
making no aliusion even to the Mexican war

lions; to the Executive usupalions which have
sprung out Of it; to the lust Of dominion which

ney which il will be necessary 10 raise TO pay
the debt which il has created; TO the twenty
thousand valuable lives which has thus been sa-
crliced to a bod ambition, &c. What shall We
say ola political creed in which all these and
many other equal cnormilies Of misgoveInment
count for nothing!

form as that Of Buffalo stands the plain, honest
straightforward Declaration Of his truly Consti'
tulional and Conservative principles, under his

From The National hteiligencer.
Final state OfthC Country.

Itis now upwards Of nine months that the
country has been suffering under u continued
pressure upon the money market During this
period, a constant drain Of the precious metals
has been going on, amounting, IN the aggregate
TO some fourteen or fifteen millions of dollars.
The consequence has been constant deprecia-
tion of the currency, regular reduction in the
Observation-Disclosures and produce, embarrassment
and stagnaion in our trade aud manufacturers.
The cause of all this is easily traced; it is as
plain as A B C.. 1t is the excessive importation
of foreign commodities, induced by change IN
our tariff under the act of 1876. The object OF
that tariff was to increase our imports OF foreign
manufactures. Mr.. Secretary Walker has glo-
iGed himself and his policy in its great success
in that particular. But practical men take DIFF
(ercnt view of the matter. They know very
well that over importation has always been the
immediate cause Of those crises in the money
market, so prejudiciaI to commerce, so 2aray-
zing to industry aud all prosperity, to which this
county has heretofore been peculiarly subject.
1t was this tendency 10 over-imporaIon which
was a leading motive TO the establishment oil the
protective system; and under that system this
tendency waskeptin salutary check. Asa meas
ure Of finance the reduction Of duties at the mo-
ment of plunging into an expensive war was SUI
perlative madness. A few statistical facts, derl'
we'd from the official documents, will place the
whole matter in light too clear for cavil OF
doubt. At page 93 of MIR. Secretary Walkers
report of December 8, 1847, we have table o
