The Tariff Presidents Views,

In another column we have given an account
of meeting of the President and deputalion OF
some of the manufacturers of Pennsylvania
1t will be seen that the President expresses IN
concise manner, his views relative to the tarlf,
and we rejoice TO learn that he has given his per-
soaGl attention TO the subject, and that he would
"be prepared TO recommend to Congress such
improvements in the present system as would en-.
courage all the great interests Of the country and
at the came tins ensure stability" He further
remarks " stability in the tariff was what was re
quired, and that could never be effected by ruin.
ing any interest" This has been cur own opin.
ion. Want OF stability is curse to any business
much moro to government ike ours. Nothing
would afford Us more pleasure than TO see this
vexed question satisfactorily settled. II can only
be accomplished by meeting it 10 spir, Of com.
promise. A permanent policy, although an on.
erous one al first. in our view, would be prefer.
able to a continual GLANCE. On the Presidents
views on tie Tariff and Sub. Treasury the Rich.
mOnd Times makes the following remarks:
GEN. TAYLORS VIEWS.

are willing 10 judge him impar!.sl ;;em.,L, ,,

Gently made .9'ytfavsl through the State of Penn.
9yfvania, upon some Of our public policy. Tie
moderation and practical sagaeity Of his views
with regard TO the vexsd questions Of the Tariff
and the Subtreasury must especially comm nd
the approval Of the country. True TO bis cher
shsd sentiment OF so administering the Govern.
ment as 10 benefit the whole people rather than
aggrandize party, he declares STABILITY in our
tariff stem to be the greatest requisite 10 ensure
its beneficial operation. Whilst the present law
works unjusily and 10 so obnoxious 10 large
portion oI the people as 10 make It's modification
indispensable, he calls upon a. parties TO exhibit
a spirit o. compromise and confession, SO that a
system may be established which will be satisfac
tory TO all. As regards the snbtreasury, there
are few who will not second General Tay lor's
proposition TO let it be judged BY i. operation
And first Of all, we doubt not It will be easy tc

had ii 10 charge. In conlravenlop Of its plan

actions Of The Government; and then, Il the re
ceving and disbursing officers al home chose +

make ceposItes in banks, Il vas their affair ar

to work tolerably well, although il really IS nc

opinion is entertained that no further outnges

A depu,ation from the manufacturing
houses of this county and Allegheny city
waited upon the Presiden, this morning, to
STATE in brief terms the depression they
were laboring under in consequence oil the
present ruuous tarfT-ruinous SO lar as
The iron and coal interests are concerned.
The, assured the President that something
like four. fiiihs ct the iron houses Of the
county had failed within the past year and
a half, and those which still avoided such
a fate did so OF ruinous sacrifice.
The Presiden. replied that the subject
Of the tariff had engaged his earliest a'ten'
ton, and that he was thankful 10 receive
all Information bearing upon that Impor'
,ani matter. The Secretary OF the Urea
sury had been engaged in collecting 'nior'

pared to recommend to Congress such I'm.
provements in the present system as would
encourage all the great interests OF the
country, and at the same time ensure sta
bilty. He believed there we're certain ar
lcles which required protection but, as
this Government was IN the first instance
organized by mutual concessions and CON
promises, he trusted the same spirit would
vet prevail, and that the people OF the
country would be willing TO meet each 9th.
er half way in all measures OF the general
welfare. Stability in the tariff vas what
was required, and that could never be et.
fected by running any interest. The Exc
cutive would DO prepared to CO operate

BRISTOL COPPER MINES.

The copper mines of Bristol, in this
State, are more extensive and valuable
than people generally imagine. and at the
present time are exciting considerable in
terest among capitalists and scientific
men. Within short time, large body
of operatives have been added to the
mines, and we are informed that now
more than 800 hands are constantly en-
gagged, and the yield Of ore is increasing
in quantity and value. These mines are
considered by many, capable of Judging,
to be equal in point of profit to any 9th
er in the country, and the opinion has been
expressed by Prof. Silliman, who has
made extensive researches in these re-
gions, that the veins of ore extend in a
southerly direction from Bristol to Ham
den, distance. of some thirty or more
miles, and if thoroughly worked, would
be sufficient to give constant employment
to thousands of miners. Large quanti-
ties of the ore are daily sent over the
Canal Rail road, and in time, we have no
doubt, the mines will prove source of
income and profit to the road, as well as
to those who are engaged in its opera
ton.
