infant eighteen years of age. of foreign birth, weigh
ing over 400 pounds, who for some weeks past has
been on exhibition in New York at the Bowery, died
suddenly on Friday evening.
1t appears that it has been almost impossible to
saate his thirst, he having drank several gallons of
water per day. Medical aid was obtained; after
which death followed, and, as many suppose, from
matreatment.

CONGRESSIONAL. In the Senate, yesterday, several
petitions for the modification of the tariff, and for
the repeal of the fugitive act, presented. On
motion by Mr.. Hunter, the bill to amend the tariff
act of 1916 was taken up. Mr.. Hunter explained
the bill providing that the duties shall be assessed
the foreign valuation at the time and place of the
last expectation of the goods and merchandise; and
also providing for the appointment of four appraisers
large, whose duty it shall be decide upon dispu-
ted invoices and valuations. Mr.. Hunter vindicated
the tariff of 1916 and commended that in its oper-
alton it had been benefcent. Mr.. Winthrop and Mr..
Pearce remarks in favor of the passage of
the BILL but expressive of their disbelief in the BEN
efcen action of the present tariff. The BILL with
slight amendments offered by Mr.. Hunter, was passed
mem. con. A bill amending the act relative to the
time Of holding the United States district and circuit
courts in Ohio passed. Mr.. Winthrop offered
resolution which agreed to, directing the Com
mitee the Judiciary to inquire and report at what
time a senator appointed by State executive shall
leave his seat. The Senate took up the bill provi-
ding for the settlement OF land titles in California,
and, after amendments and remarks thereon the
bill was reported to the Senate.
In the House, Mr.. Boyd moved that the two spe-
cial orGers-the mint bill the board of claims bill
be postponed till Thursday, and the territorial bills
taken up for two days. This was objected TO- The
bill establishing branch minis in New York and Cal
ifornia was taken up in Committee of the Whole,
(Mr. Carter in the Char) and, after discussion, the
whole bill stricken out. and Mr.. Bayly's subst-
tute providing for the stamping of bars and ngots of
gold and legalizng them currency, adopted,
and reported to the House. A motion to lay the bill
on the table rejected and the previous question
was moved, and the House adjourned.

them regularly. We assure them that their papers
are mailed in proper time at this Office, and that the

who form an exception to this rule. Let them look
to it in time. Their neglect and inattention cannot

THE TINES .oN AMERICA"

| We give in another column some extracts from the
London Times ION America" The Times is the
high Tory organ of England, and cannot therefore.
be regarded as partial to this country. gs
What country is America This Is America |;
South America is never thought of among ourselves,
or in the world arge when America is mentioned.
The indications, we are happy to believe. are now
favorable perpetuation of the Union. Thousands
and thousands of the people of the free States are
waking up to the dangers which impend, and are
ralyng to the Constitution in its purity and to the
Union as it ought to be- We trust this feeling, in
the only quarter where it is needed, and where il
be of most Service may continue to grow and spread
If it should, and if rulers should wisely de-
termine to keep the question of Slavery out of the
arena of politics, we may anticipate long years Of
harmon and brotherhood but If not, and if Freeso-
ism is prevail, any time hereafter in the public
councils and give law to these States, in that hour of
it's triumph will all harmony and all feelings of frater
nal affection be driven from midst forever. But
prefer always to look at the bright side of the
picture. This country has nothing to fear from for
eign nations. She may be Indifferent alike to their
strength in the field the ocean, to their facili
ties for commanding the Of the world. She
is world within herself If destruction is to over
take US, fall suddenly upon u.s. it will proceed-not
from other natons-but from among ourselves. Here
is the danger. How important is it, therefore, that
we should adhere to the Constitution in all its parts,
and while do so insist that other portions of the
Republic shall do the same! This Constitution, as
it is, has shielded and guided thus far, and it will
prove equally beneficial, have doubt, to the
generations destined to take places. 1t good
enough for fathers before US, and that which
cred thirteen States has been found sufficiently ex-
pansive in its nature for thrtyone. Let that
it is respected and that it prevails in all the States
as the paramount law. This country has gone through
many crisis, but the present has tested her powers
Of endurance and the intrinsic strength of the Con-
stituton, more than all others before it. But agta-
ton, with u.s. is not necessarily of deadly
strife, of any radical change of existing FORMS In
this respect differ from other countries. The
truth is, profit in many instances by agitation, for
agitation produces discussion, and the collisions of
intellect shed light upon the masses who have made
all governments and institutions among u.s. and Who
in the end, sway and shape their action.
We might pursue this theme indefinitely, but we
began this article merely with the view of calling
attention to the extract from the {. Times"

THE DIFFERENCE.

A writer in the Register notices thus tendery the
recent act of Vermont multiplying the fugitive slave
law:
Vermont, it is we'll known, has declared the fu-
gitive slave bill to be migratory within her limits.
This is all harmless Legislation far action goes,
but it is bad precedent, and such deserves uni
versal reprobation. Of course the act of the Yer
mont Legislature is null and void, because it conf lets
with the supreme law of the land-and doubtless
many voted for it that account, knowing 1t to be
mere brutum JuLnnen, and yet popular VOTE"
When Vermont nullifes she only sets Is a bad pre-
cedent" :; but when South Carolina talks of seced-
ing with the view of preserving her property and her
existence she is denounced and threatened with the
penalties of The secret of this difference is
as follows: Vermont is the g. Wing star that never
sets,'' and South Carolina is Democratic The whole
course of the Register, in both Federal and State
affairs, has shown that that paper cares but little for
the country, what becomes of the country, prov-
ded its party aims and party schemes can be advanced

OF England having driven abroad her pec-
PIE, the next thing was to secure for the
mother country new monopoly, nimely,
the monopoly of their commerce. On this
sprung UP the pretension Of that island 10
furnish manufactures for all the world, and
TO transport them to her tributaries in her
own ships. This new monopoly, built up
at the cost OF many wars, aad at an expense
which, if rightly directed, would have made
all Britain to bloom like the garden, of Par
adise, now overshadows the globe. Under
it London has become the great commercial
capital Of the world, and 4 crisis IN her mo-
ney market, pressure and contraction Of
her Bank carry distress and ruin into the
remotest regions. All this Is wrong there
ought to be no such single overgrown city,
endowed with the power of disturbing and
destroying the industry and prosperity OF
other lands. But there it is, and the mode
in which this power Is exercised Is by pre-
venting other nations from manufacturing
for themselves, and from putting the pro-
ducer and consumer side by side, raising
themselves to independence, and ultimately
destroying this monopoly. Now, when the
industry of the United States is protected
the monopoly is foiled the consumers and
producers are concentrated there is no de-
sire to emigrate to the new and distant
States, because employment is abundant and
varied, and the perishable products of the
land which will not bear transportation, are
purchased and consumed on the ground.
Emigration is checked because prosperity
is increased, and the country gains in wealth
and real power. Emigration is always a
sign that the country from which it takes
place is declining or stationary, and that
some unnatural cause in the tenure of land
or in legislation checks its legitimate devel-
opment, and drives away the people in
search for what they would elsewhere find
and enjoy at home.
But when protection is removed, then the
British commercial and manufacturing mo-
nopoly acts unhindered. Instead OF the
concentration of the people, we then behold
their dispersal. They fly to the distant
States to raise grain to send to England to
paw for broadcloth, calicoes aud hardware
instead of paying for them with much more
remunerative crops of potatoes and cab
bages and milk and beef delivered to the
manufacturers and consumed by them in
their own neighborhoOd, the refuse being
returned to the soil. And thus by this sys-
tenn our people are impoverished, the growth
of the country checked, and the British
commercial monopoly,-on of the greatest
curses ever inflicted on the world,-kept in
existence.
1t is for the citizens of the United States
to say whether they will aid in maintaining
this monopoly and their own semi colonial
su1jection, or whether they will destroy it
and raise themselves and other nations with
them to permanent independence and stead
lily increasing prosperity. Whatever be
their choice, the means of executing it are
simple; in the first case they need only enact
what is styled Free Trade, in the second all
that is requisite is a competent system of
Protection.
