upholding the Free Soil banner for years
before the Wilmots and Van Burens ever
thought of such thing-that the Wing
party was the true party of resistance to
the encroachments of Slave Power, and
the Buffaloes were Bogus.
In 1e49, Mr.. Webster fought noble
battle in the Senate against the efforts OF
the Extensionists and their allies to or
ganize California, &c. without the Wilmot
Proviso, and maintained the struggle down
to the last hours of the Session.
In 185O-not yet one year ago-Mr.
Webster, even after making his great
plunge, declared in the Senate that any
Fugitive Slave bill to be passed ought to
guarantee to the persons claimed as fugi-
tives Trial by Jury, and, in this cOnnec-

said he had drawn long before, expressly

Another Mr.. Webster in spi-

making Speech to the assembled slave
breeders of Maryland Speech very full
of Union and very empty of Liberty. This
speech speaks of the Federal Constitution
as compact between Slave States on the
one hand and Free States on the other,
when in truth the whole, substantially,
were Slave States-nearly all holding men
in bondage, and no one of them having then
thoughtfully considered the ethical and So
cial bearings of Slavery. This speech
talks as if hostility to or even disposition
to ask notifications of the present Fugitive
Slave Law, which utterly denies and sub
verts that Right of Trial by Jury which
the other Mr.. Webster insisted should be
inviolate-were synonymous with disloy-
atty to the Union-with moral treason
Both these men make able and
plausible Speeches, but-in spite of our
progressive tendencies, our fondness for
novelty-we can't help liking the old
Webster better than the ne one.

The Old and the New Webster.

Ten or twelve years ago, at time when
the Annexation of Texas had not yet been
seriously meditated by any considerable
portion of our People, Daniel Webster
made set speech in our City, wherein he
volunteered declaration that resistance to
the Extension of Slavery and Slave Power
under our Government was with him
matter of conscientious principle and patri-
otto duty, which could not be waived nor
compromised, but must be lived up to at
all hazard and at all cost.
Seven years ago he spoke at intervals
through the struggle of 1874, making re-
sistance to Slavery Extension the great,
controlling issue, and thereupon calling
Northern freemen to rally to the Wing
standard. Well do we remember the Bit
terness he felt and expressed on the re-
ceipt of Mr.. Clay's first Alabama letter,
which seemed to take the true ground
from under our feet.
Three years ago, Mr.. Webster came
into the support of Gen. Taylor with IN
feigned reluctance, in view of the pro-Sla-
very influence which, to great extent,
secured his nomination. "The North :"
said Mr.. W., in one of his first speeches of
that campaign; "there is no North .-..-
but think see indication that hereafter
there sriu be Norih :" &c. &c.
In that campaign, Mr.. Webster ridiculed
the claim of the Van Burens and their Buff
falo drove to be distinguished as Free Soil
ers, claimed the Wilmot Proviso as not

II THE News FROM EUROPE is full
of interest. In England it is evident that
the Ministry cannot long survive. 1t has
been again voted down on comparatively
unimportant question but with quito full
house. A general election must soon be
resorted to, though every effort will be
made to put it off as long as possible. In
France all goes On we'll for the republican
cause. The reported union hetween the
Leeitimists and Orleanists turns out mis-
take. In Germany nothing is settled yet
with reference to the Central Government.
A perfect gem will be found among the
news from that country in the proclama-
ton of Baron Haynau to the officers in the
army of Electoral Hesse. From Italy we
hear of more conspiracies, though nothing
precise is reported. 1t is quite probable
that something is brewing in that quarter.
1t is said too, that the Hungarian refugees
now at Liverpool have been induced to re-
main in England with view to aiding in
expected revolutionary movements on the
Continent. We presume that no such
movements are likely to happen just at
present any where out of Italy. All the
other countries are kept under by native
soldiers while only foreign armies have
been found to enchain the people of Italy.
Still we place no great faith in these ru-
mors. Austria desires too ardently an
excuse for falling upon Italy not to set
afoat every sort of story that might serve
as pretext for an invasion, and beside,
when revolution does break out it will
come without having been much talked of
beforehand.

worse than useless to enact protective duties.
We plead for Protection in part because we
feel that, though we never made or sold
anything that was directly protected by the
Tariff, yet all our labor and its products is
benefited by the existence of such Protec-
ton. If the Iron business were prosperous
to-day, We should have very many Iron
makers taking The Tribune who cannot
now afford it; and these would be buying
Produce and Merchandise by the hundred
dollars worth where they now disburse but
tens, earning these as competitors of farm
ers, blacksmiths, &c, instead of as custom
ers. Whenever Pennsylvania shall en-
phstically demand the reestablishment of
a Protective Tariff on grounds of funda-
mental principle and for the sake not of one
single interest or locality, but of every in
terest and OF the whole Union, we will
struggle with her for its adoption and re-
joice with her in its triumph. But to any
establishment even of so good measure as
a Protective Duty by trick, surprise or
stratagem, we are unaIterably hostile.

WOUTER Won TWILLER.
The Tariff Amendment Act.

Special Dispatch to the Tribune.
WASHINGTON, March q, 1851.
Secretary Corwin cOncurs IN the Cabinet
decision that freight Is not to be included
among the charges on imported merchan-
disc which are to be estimated as part OF
the cost in The imposition and collection of
revenue duties under Mr.. Hunters bill.
Mr.. c. will issue Treasury Circular to
this effect tomorrow. II. h.
R We cannot doubt that this decision
is entirely right. No one acquainted with
the history of the passage of the Act in
question can doubt that it was passed with
the distinct understanding that such would
be its effect, and that otherwise it would
not have been passed at all. However
wise or just such practical enhancement
of the Import duties on Iron, Coal and 9TH
er bulky articles may be, it is certain that
no Il aority in the two Houses of Congress
could be found to enact it. To establish
it, then, by Executive construction would
be a stretch of power which we should not
know how to Justify.
Tile Pennsylranian, which was among
the few papers which appeared to expect
or desire different construction of the Act
seizes on a remark of one of our Washing
ton correspondents and bases thereon a
charge that The Tribune opposed the con-
struction it contended for, because we
wished to protract the present embarrass-
ment and depression of the Iron interest,
desiring the Tariff question kept open for
Political effect in 1852. This is very far
from the truth. So earnest, so overmaster-
ing is our conviction that efficient Protec-
ton to Home Industry in all its exposed
and depressed branches is essential to the
National well-being, that we would very
gladly surrender the next Presidential Elec-
ton and all its results to our political adj
versaIies on condition that they would aid
us to establish and maintain thoroughly
Protective Tariff. Regarding this as the
verv corner stone of wise and bene6cent
National Policy, we are ready to make any
personal or party sacrifice to secure it.
But we will take nothing for Protec-
ton by p-judgment-nOthing by 6nesse'
Nothing so obtained can endure, and it is
worse than folly-it is madness-to en-
courage hopes of future prosperity to Amer
lean Manufactures that are sure to be dis
appointment. A Protective Tariff can
stand upon DO other basis than that Of the
intelligent conviction Of a majority of the
American People that their prosperity aud
their Country's well-being is promoted
thereby. In the absence ofthis conviction,
even the enactment Of the very best Pro-
tectiye Tariff would answer no good pur-
pose Unless the WOOl-grOwer realizes
that an ample and prosperous Home Mar
ket for his Wool not merely but for his
Mutton, Vegetables, Fruits, &c. is pro-
NOTED by PrOtecriOn-that he is protected
by the duty on Woolens no less than that
ON Wool-all will be in vain. If the Far
