rons giving ont upon the Tariff This pteu'
liar and disintsrtsted article is all coaked un-
der the cover of Nh assul, upon General Cam
eron. Two things have recently excited
some surprise aud wondetmeu, in the minds
Of the few readers who toll through the emp
ty but noisy leaders of this ANTICIPATED lady.
One is the ferocious virago.like spirit with
which it assails General Cameron, and the
other ils sudden and unexpected deser,on Of
the principle involved in the Tariff of 'a6, and
Of protection for Pennsylvania great pro.
ducts, Coul and Iron.
This, we say, has excited surprise but we

how it was established under its presen, man

Now and then it is put 10 uses no less mean
but more dishonest. 1t is used to puff up
ssme new scheme worthy of Congressional
patronage, professedly for the public good

dsinteresied, secretly from motives Of per-
sonal gain--gain from The public treasury, to
be acquired from the money Of the people

labor.
We know-the public here known the char

but it is the public abroad who are deceived

rior who are betrayed by il, and it is 10 warn
them now and then we turn aside from onT
many other pursuits and take notice of this
Otherwise insignificant and powercss paper.
