The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1849-10-07


We take the liberty to copy the following extract from
private letter addressed to Of the editors by one Of
the most distinguished and talented democrats in New
England, under date Of the Sd instant:
All things considered Il would seem that no admnisra
ton ever occupied 50 weak position, nearly the
SET Oh iIs career that OF Gen. Taylor Coming in
minority Presidents and needing strength and support in
the legislature he has thrown away all the moral force and
popularity which insured his has been uy of
breach OF faith and to his electors and now barely
saved from odium and contempt by the humbng plea in
mitigation, that he does understand his position is In
competent to the duties OF his Office and Is ruled and
oed by his cabinet who be held responsible though
in fac. irresponsible, for all his executive The attempt
TO divert attention from the working Of the wing scheme
ofwhch the President Is made the nsuumentby cpl
sode with the French minister and other stratsgems, win
fail OF success; and the cabinet held together for while
longer by the outward asst floats towards the
shore, will not improbabiy fall asunder as Il touches
ground in the next Congress- The Senate will Of course
compel the TO retract tho false pretences
der which the removals OF democrats from Office have been
made and admit that they have been made for political
causes Ia the lace Of all the solemn proestaons of Gen.
Taylor, confirmed by the aduI Ions Of Clayton. Cntten
den and other honest wings that democrat should be
moved for political Alter this there will not be
salt enough left In the administration it. The Pre-
sdens advisers whoever they may be- will strive to carry
hum along by diversion abroadsay with the French
and by appeal to he money power Of the country, with
the bride OF protection by change of the tariff This
so strong nature, that partial impression may be
made Pennsylvania may continue oscilate from her
former point OF adhesion Bur the question Of high
tariff has been decided forever in the negative by the grand
discovery of the farmers Of the West that the best Of all
protection for them and for the country is outlet abroad
for their surplus poductionsthe comparatively small
quantity exported keeping all the in notion and insur
ing remuneration labor. After another
md perhaps spasms among the deuded friends OF
protection, the country will quietly settle down again.
regarding the present tariff fixed fact, and satisfied
with what they have got The controversy will be be-
tween the adherents the tariff Of 1876 and the friends Of
free trade, contendng for reduction that this last
named tariff will be occupied wing ground. Your
the tariff important and timely; and is to
be hoped that the democratic press will everywhere fellow
the example of the "Union" In confung the sophisms
and alaces of the wings One of the most ludcrous Of
these is the pon that the manufacturing population
of this country Of food Exclude
foreign manufactures says the benevolent wing millionaire
with his head heart and conscience in his
bfeeches pocket, and manufacturing population will
commence eating and relieve the poor farmers Of all their
surplus What generous distenon this of the amentay
organs Of the consumers increase the wealth Of twenty
or thirty great capitalists Mournul ncreduty of the
mistaken farmer of the West, who discerns in the pory
form and redundant abdomen of the manufacturing nabob

bundance of his crops when shall be shut
from the consumption Of those who toll and spin in foreign
lands
