Mr.. Bushanan, and the Tariff.

MEssns. EDIroRs: In the Union" we find i
loiter from Mr.. BUCHANAN, in answer to ons
from number Of gentlemen in Baltimore of
fering him the compliment of public dinner.
In his reply, Mr.. BUCHANAN says: "Most, il
not all, The great questions of policy whicl
formerly divided us from our political oppon
ents have been settled in our favor. No per
son, at this day, thinks Of re.estaDlishing anoth
er national bank, or repeating the independent
treasury, or distributing the proceeds of the
public lands among the several States, or abol
ishing the veto power. On these great and inn
portant questions the Wings, after long and
violent struggle, have yielded, and for the pres
ent at least seem To stand upon the Democratic
platform. The compromise measures are now
tinality, &C."
Now, there is another "great apd important
question" Especially important to the Southern
people, about which Mr. BUCHANAN is emphati-
cally silent, and about which, as is well known,
Pennsylvania is divided. The omission of Mr.
B. 70 alude, at all, to the question of the tariff
maybe natural but it is rather ominous. The
tariff of '46, was The 'great and important ques-
ton" of the last Democratic administration
and whilst we are not disposed to quarrel with

fered to- OH the subjects Of States Rights, strict

administering the government, &c we are well
assured that the Southern Democracy will re-.
pudiate promptly, any man who hesitates mo-
ment to express bold determination to resist,
to the last, any effort to alter the existing Demo
cratic tariff To them it is question paramount
to all others; and if it be determined to take
from Pennsylvania Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, they will not be unmindful of a
certain casting vote, by which the Hon. GEORGE
III. DALLAS vetoed the bill to increase protec-
ton. That manly and fearless act, striking the
protective.tar men (whelher disguised or open)
a blow from which they have never recovered,
even under this Wing administration, stands out
in bold relief, when compared with Mr.. BuoH-
ANAN's pointed omission ofany reference to the
subject, whilst discussing great and important
questions" Mr. b. writes pretti!y of States
Rights in the abstract-and, to certain extent.
thus recommends himself to the South--but
this omission (Which could not have been acci
denta) taken in connection with the fact, that
the Pennsylvania iron interest is, and has been
for years, clamorous for protection, impels us
to look for another man, if that State is to give
us the nominee.
A 6rmer Sta Rights man, truer friend to
the South, does not live north of Mason and
Dixon's line, than he who gave the protective
tariff principle its coup de graee-than the Hon

Hon. WILLIAM l.. YANcET.--In letter to the
Montgomery Register, this gentleman explains the
position he assumed in his speech at the late South
ern Rights meeting in that city, which he thinks
has not been accurately reported. He says, in
substance, that he expressed the opinion that the
Southern Rights men Of Alabama could not, con-
sistently with their principles, join either the
Democratic or Union parties. In the late canvass,
he thinks, that there undoubtedly existed larger
degree Of sympathy with the Southern Rights men,
in the Democratic than in the Wing ranks; that
the result that the Union men carried the State,
and that the Democracy, having thus burnt their
fingers, have receded farther than ever from their
recent principles As to the Union party, Mr..
Yancey said, that the Georgia platform went as
Far in its requirements as the Southern Rights men
could hope now to advance, and IL that party
would in good faith occupy that stand, the posi-.
ton was more favorable TO the South, and better
calculated to maintain her rights and secure re-
spect, than was that ofthe recognized Democracy
But he held that the Union convention lad com
mitted great and radical error in proposing q
National Union organization, which with other
facts, convinced him that the party would, wher
the hour came, fall back from the position Of re
s's'ance announced in the Georgia platform. ii,
says also, that he did not denounce the Southern
Rights men, who had gone to the Democratic
party, as "renegades, I" but believes that the mas
ses Of them viii 10 the future rally TO the best pos
ton which may be taken by the South in TIE as
ssriion other rights.

1B~We find in the Augusta Constitutional
isl the following notice Of the first effort of on,
Of its representatives in Congress:
Hon. CHARLES MURPHY.-Ths gentleman Il
seems entered the arena Of debate few DAYS

his position. For some cause or other, the ex.

mystery to himself and n re.cxplanation was
made in letter to the Republican; which we
publish in another column.
Dir. Murphy, it will be seen, would not have
It forgotten that, while he is Union man, AZ
such was elected, and as such expects 20 remain.
he is Democrat, and nothing but Democai.
though he intends TO vote for Whip Presi
dent, II the nominee Of that party will talk pref
ty about the fnality of the "Compromise" and
all that. An original Nashville convention man,
one among the most influential men in the Sen.
ate Of Georgia who Matched out that "seheme
Of disunion," Mr. Murphy now very compla.
Gently prates about the Compromise" a mea
sure which embraces nearly everything that in
cured his dspleasure aud denunciation while
holding scat In the Georgia senate Of 40 and
80. Times change however, and men change
with them, and Mr.. Murphy, we suppose, is sub

NoRrHERS ScHooL BooKs.--A good deal Of ex.
element has lately been created. in our public
schools, by the newly -dscovered anti-savery ten
denotes Of Wayland's Political Economy-a book
in use in them, il appears, ever since 1886.
The book is the production Of man Of decided
talent--ihe President Of Brown University, Rhode
Island-sDd it has tten repeatedly reviewed by al.
most every Quarterly in the country, and by the
public press, and especially with reference to this
very feature Fit, which, il seems, has just been
expurgated or rather scissored out by the supern-
tendent OF the Public Schools. Better late than
never.
We have more than once called public attention
to the fact, that many of the school books used in
the South, are Of an extremely Objectionable ten
dency. Take the whole range OF books presared.
at the North, for young readers, and a covert
hostility to Southern institutions may be detected
in almost every one Of them. Those popular
publications-by Peter Parley--so often the theme
Of applause in this quarter--are full of this IN.
sidious poison, even IN the pictorial illustrations
As the Board Of School Directors have the mat.
ter now in hand, we trust shey will make a
thorough purgation, and not permit thes. obiec.
tioneble doctrines to be impressed on our growing
youth.
by the way, there is nothing so much needed
in the South as compilation of school books

Snip FEvER.--Typhus, or ship fever" so
called, has prevailed during the present season,
with greater malgnily than heretofore, and IL

from a physician daily employed among the

80 We cIip the following pithy paraprap

rSg- We clip the following pthy paragraph
from the South Carolinian fthe 9Th inst:
Our DELEGATIoN.-The Washington cores
pendent of the Mercury in speaking of Mr..
Burt, says:
Mr.. Burt's announcement of his intention Of
Withdrawing from Congress has been received
with regret here, as that gentleman is much re-
spected and esteemed by the members generally
He has uniformly conducted himself with court
esy and dignity. The whole delega ion at this
time is by no means so isolated as il used to be
and would be placed within the pale Of party il
they were TO indicate the desire"
No doubt of it. South Carolina, notwith.
standing the sneers dung at her, has few votes
she may give at the Presidential election, and il
is fairly presumed that they could purchase her
entrance into the pale of either party. We DOM
know, however, that she is suffering from her
present position Of so-called isolation.

In new edition of the regulations for Post Of

every case where the writer Of a letter chooses 10

do so by prepaying the postage, and writing legi-
bly, on the sealed side the words"to be preserved"
in which case il will be rescued from the liability
Of being committed to the flames, and it's seal re-
main intact.

speak very plainly OF this subject, for we feel
that the welfare and perhaps the organized ex-
istence Of the great conservative party " which
we are attached, are involved in the crisis. III
the North thinks il can elect Gen. Scott, let Il
nominate him but it fances it can DO SO with
out Southern votes, let it shik the slavery ques-
ton, try the experiment, and six months hence,
take the lantern of Diogenes and make dlligent
search for a Southern Wing.
These utterances may be harmonious In the
ears of the Administration, but if so, its musical
taste must be peculiar.
But the WEBSTER demonstration at New
York, the very text of the Republics sermon,
affords the proofs of its hypocrisy even as
regards the Northern wing of the party. AT
that meeting, the very name of Gen SCOTT
was ignored by FREDERIcK r. TALLMADGE, in
enumeratng the Wing leaders. He said !; !.
q He was glad of this movement, but he could
not help but refer TO the great sun OF our politr
cal armament, now disappearing in golden glory
in the western horizon of life-the more than
mighty HENRY CLAY, tremendous and long
continued cheers that mighty intellect Is no
more able to lead US. Who hare zoe then! We
hare he glorious FILLMORE, CHEERS and laugh
ter.l and we have with him the mighty Daniel
(cheers.) Mr.. t. went on to eulogize Mr.
WEBsTER."
And complaint is made that the government
officers took no part or interest in that meeting
How sweet it is to see such brethren dwelling
in such amity?
The Republic must try some other tack. It
has proved itself utterly incompetent to advance
the interests even of the one individual" who
fosters and feeds it. How absurd, then, for it to
make even show of organship for three"

S II A W LIS.

In that part Of Asia whore some OF our
brave countrymen have penetrated only TO
dir-in that country where Charles Sud
dart and his friend Connolly, whose faces
will never be forgotten by some Of MS, and
whose voices still sound in our ears, con-
soed each other through loathsome inn
priSonment, and went out together 10 lose
their heads in the market place of the cap
ital in that distant and impracticable
country of Bokhara, which we are ready
to say we will never have any conneXon
with-there are people always employed
in our service. We are not now thinking
of the Bokhara clover, which is such
treat to our cows and horses. We owe
that, and lucerne, and others Of our green
crops, to the interior Of Asia; but we are
thinking of something more elaborate
In Bokhara, the camel is watched while
the warm hair oil the belly is growing /;
this fine hair is cut of SO carefully that not
a fibre is lost it is put by until there is
enough to spin into yarn, unequaled for
SoitnesS and then il is dyed all manner Of
bright colors, and woven into stripes eight
inches wides of shawl pattern such as
with all our pains and cost, with all our
Schools of Design and study of nature and
art-we are not yet able TO rival. These
stripes are then sewn together so cuningly
that no European can discover the joints.
The precious merchandise is delivered to
traders who receive it on credit. On their
return from the market they pay the price
OF the shawls at the Bokhara value, with
81 per cent. interest ; or, if they cannot
do this in consequence OF having been rob-
bed or any other misfortune, they stay
away, and are never seen again in their
native land.
Where is the market ? So far away
from home that the traders wear out their
clothes during their journey , and their
