The Tariff.

The Protectionists are the most unf rtun te
set of men on record. They are forever at work
trying to get their hands little deeper into the
pockets of the people. But at the moment when
they seem to be most sure of the prize, some I'm
toward" dsappoints their hopes. Their latest
mishap just on the eve of an attempt to increase
the Tariff, and when a Committee OF Inquiry is
already in. the discharge of its prepar atory to a
report early in the next session of Congress, as a
large increase in the prices Of iroa; even beyond
what was asked by our iron men year ago, in
the shape of protection. This event, too, occur
ring Just before the Presidential election, will be
very likely to disappoint the hopes of the Pro-
tectionists in regard to the vote of Pennsylvania.
AS long as every thingis prosperous, it is diff
cult to convince men that both they and the coun-
try are going to ruin. The only change which is
likely to be made in the Tariff at the next ses-
sion, is the diminution or repeal of the duties
on certain articles of raw material, dye stufs &c
This, so far as it can be done without affecting
our agricultural interest, is legitimate movement,
and we hope will be uccessful.-.Journal Of CON-
