greatly extended; but the writer does not in.
form his readsn that the cause of this great
extension is 70 Be found in the inability of the
owner Of capital to employ it in the building Of
mills OF furnaces, or otherwise to use it profit
ably, and that he is compelled to let il remain
in bank, unproduotive to himself, to aid in the
production Of that excitement of which he here
complains.
We are told that ''failures will begin, % that
"the alarm will be given" that ga panic will be
produced" that "credit will be refused, - that
"prices will fall" and that property will be
sacrificed" but we are not told that when
these things shall happen, as happen they must,
the people of the Union will, with one voice,
proclaim that the responsibility for all this de-
struction Of human happiness and national
credit lies at the door of the authors of the tariff
of 1916.
If the writer of this article desires To prevent
the occurrence Of these disasters, he cannot do
better than unite with the Wing party in the
restoration Of the tariffof l842, by aid of which
the country was redeemed from the state of
prostration to which Is was reduced by that Of
1888, inflicted upon the Union by the very
men who are now his most active patrons.

The London Fair.

We are in very awkward position, and
must throw ourselves upon the good nature of
our friends and the public. We are very de-
sirous to say something of the London fair, and
of merry England, which many of or country
men will have the pleasure of seeing in the
course Of the ensuing three months. We have
seen that country-dark, foggy, and repulsivc
by nature--the lovelicst land on the earth by
art and cultivation. We have had peep at
English houses, English fresides, English hos
pitality, and English comfort. and we could
dilate on these from now to Christmas. And,
in order that they may see these things to ad-
vantage, we are inclined to lay down few
rules for our go-ahead countrymen who pro-
pose visiting London, the Crystal Palace, and
Queen Victoria, during the spring or summer.

The Mob triumph I'm Bo.tou. :

We publish this morning further extracts
from the papers Of Boston, in reference to
the recent disgrace of the city, and overthrow
of the authorities by negro mob. We also
publish the cards of the city mayor and city
marshal, which in our judgment present no
thing in the slightest degree calculated to
exonerate them from the charge of gross
neglect of duty. 1t seems to us, by their
own showing, that they were unwisely conf
dent, or culpably indifferent. In view Of the
movements of the COMMITTEE of Vigilance, !"
and the notorious fact that they were followed
in their whereabouts by gang of armed ne
groes, the city government ought to have taken
more effectual measures to prevent the occur
renee Of such an outrage.
We refer to our teIegraphic reports for a state
ment of the proceedings in the case of the parties
arrested on the charge of assisting in the rescue

Position OF Free states.

The Cleveland Democrat, Free-sol sheet,
gives the following as the position Of twelve
free-States on the slavery question:
Io,oa-For the Compromise
Wisconsin-All for peace, and resembling the re-
solutions passed in '46 instructing Senator Walker
to resign or vote for the provso..
Iuinois-Pro-s slavery out and out, and Senator
Shields, elected as Free -soler, changing front.
Indisna-All for the Compromise, and re-electing
Mr.. Bright U. s. Senator.
Ohio-For Gen. Cass.
Michagan-Servile to the lowest degree.
PennsylUGnio- -Electing U. s. Senator Brod-
head. a. rank q pro-slavory man as can be found
Nttc Jrsey-For the Compromise in all its parts
Connscticut- Compromise and peace.
Observation-Disclosures elected by the votes Of
the Free solers and boldly pro as can be-
Ne,c Hampshire-U Utterly servile
Maine-FOr the Compromise
Most readers know (says the Buffalo Com
mercial Adocrtiser) that the Free-soil papers
stigmatize as servile and pro-savery all who
do not denounce the Constitution as can afro
cious bargain," and who are not willing to
sacrifice the Union and the welfare of more
than twenty millions Of white people in obedi-
ence to one impracticable idea. Making this
necessary allowance for the peculiar phraseol-
ogy of the Democrat, its statements are sub
stantially correct, as to the positions occupied
by most Of the free States in regard to the Com
promise measures. In almost solid, unbroken
phalanx, these States stand by and sustain the
Compromise. Is there not salutary and
cheering lesson to be drawn from this fact2
The intense agitation that pervaded the coun-
try throughout last year has subsided sooner
than even the most sanguine could have anti
cipated, and those who manfully and patrioti-
cally breasted the storm, and, in defiance of the
fierce clamor that was then raised, devoted all
their energies to calming the fury of the tenn
pest and effecting settlement on liberal and
honorable terms, now have the satisfaction of
seeing their long patient labors rewarded by
the approving voice Of the country. 1t is a just
subject of felictation that we have safely passed
through dangers more serious than ever before
menaced our country. 1t is, too, lesson to
demagogues, North and South, that a senti-
ment honestly entertained cannot be perverted,
nor the interests and harmony of the country
be trifled with, merely to subserve ambitions
and selfish schemes.

Efo,u he Argus.

The following proclamation of President Fillmore
wasissued at Washington yesterday, and sent forth
in an extra Republic We are pleased that the Pre-
sident has at last thought proper to nterpose the
strong arm Of the law with which he is empowered
for the purpose Of carrying into effect the laws Of
the land. This will do much toward allaying the
excitement on the slave question, and, had a
similar edict been sent forth at an earlier day,
when resistance was first made to the Fugitive
law, we would not as public journalists. have had
to record the disgraccful proceedings of the black
mob at Boston. We trust that the spirit Of this
proclamation will be fully carried out, and that
any Government officer who hesitates for mo.
ment to perform his duty under II, will be instant
ly dismissed, and a better man put in his place.
