OF this entire quantity, $50 tons only were pig
iron. All the rest was manufactured iron--shcet,
bar rod, &C.. representing, Of course, SO much the
larger proportion and value of the foreign labor,
which is thus permitted to compete with and in
jure the labor OF Pennsylvania workmen. All this
iron, too, except the 450 tons from Sweden, came
from England-happy England, 80 favored, though
abused by American Locofoco free-traders, by
whom abe is allowed to monopolize our markets,
at the same moment that she is almost ready to go
to with US, down in Nicaragua, to prevent our
cutting canal through the isthnus, until we have
first gained the consent of the respectable savage
whom she dignifies with the name Of King Of Mos
quito.
But comments are superhuous the anomalous
and unnatural state Of things, the existence of
which is illustrated by these imporiations of Brit
ish iron into the port Of Philadelphia. We think
that honorable Senators and Representatives in
Congress have spent long enough time in dssolv
ing the Union. We suggest that they should pause
for a few days, and turn their attention little to
the subject Of American labor, its condition and in
terests-to say nothing of national interests--and
see If they cannot contrive remedy for
pressing evil. After they have done good act to
their own felow-citizens, they go back with
easier conscience-if any conscience at ALTO

MORNING, JUNE 10.
THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.

THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.
BY HENRY B. HIRST.
1t was dreary night
In the latter end of time,
When man, with shrunken limbs,
And forehead white with rime--
With the rime of weary hours,
whose paths were not Of flowers
And beard of snowy white,
Walked slowly through the night.
Pale Hecate, overhead,
Shone coldly on his brow
Ills eye was sunken and dim.
His cheek had lost its glow,
But his step SO full of pride
The manhood of his stride,
Gave this antiquated thing
The appearance of king
The moon went sadly down
10 level W it'll his way,
And the heavens became opprest
With vapors dark and gray,
As Saturn, with his beard,
And glass, and scythe, appeared
The old man journeyed on,
Growing weaker and more wan.
Like shadow, on his path,
With silence such as dwells
In the desolate dell of death
Where we hear not even our kuells,
Did Saturn slowly pass,
With his fatal scythe and glass:
The trave ller looked not back,
But kept steadily on his track.
From the earth which lay below,
Until then so black and dumb,
Came the roar of many gun,
With the roll of many drum,
And the minglng strains OF lutte,
Clarion, cymbal, fife and flute,
And among them, like knell,
Rose the clamor of bell
The wanderer heard the sound,
And with patient suffering eyes,
GaZed reproachfully on high,
Through the dark, Implying skies;
But Saturn raised his steel
And the old man ceased to feel;
And they laid along his bier
The cadaverous Old Year.
