The Washington 'Union," the central organ Of
the party BY which this Government is to be con
rolled during the ensuing four years, gives us a
faint glimpse of what is to be the character of the
Administration of that party in reference to certain
great interests of the country. On the subject Of
The Tariff, for example, without venturing (not be-
ing able) to specify any particular in which the
Treasury Reports, under the present Administra-
ton, have not been as faithful and reliable as were
the opinions expressed in them as !" Wing errors
and, as an argument for leaving the existing duties
on Imports untouched for twelve months and more
to come, reasons as follows:
Now, all this is to be changed. The country is
soon to have Secretary of the Treasury ho piA be
Deniocrat-who will look at the tariff question from the
point of view of Democratic policy and princpleand of
whom therefore, the Democrats in Congress may
bly, hope that he viii WELD the and the Stats

to befog the questonwth the purpose of aiding and not
Of thwartng the Democrats in their attempts to revise the
tariff without stripping it of lis Democratic character
'Iit not far better and wiser in itseis it not due in
fairness the incoming Administration Democrats
should rat for its aid and counsel in this mater The
country has chosen Democratic President certainly with
the view Of securing the assistance of his Administration
in the calculation of tie Democratic policy and its adapa-
ton the existing wants and interests Of the country
He will be in Office in less than three months Why, then,
should Democrats upon Wing instance prefer to attempt
revision Of the tariff while gathering their data from the
Administration of President Fillmore
This certainly must be considered as Conclusive
against aording any present relief to the interests
of the country, which are suffering under foreign
rivalry and competition.
