however, make change.
The Daily News classifes the members elect as
1856 Liberals and 80 Derbyites. The Times makes

number of BlackpooRs Magazine some speculations
upon the political and general prospects of the Uni

questions that will enter more or less into every
political combination; and says that "the manufac-
turers of America cannot erist, under competition
with England, without higher tariff! J" He adds
that the South and West are becoming much more
friendly to the principle of protection than they
have been hitherto He considers slavery the great
disturbing element in the politics of the United
States and predicts all sorts of evils from it in the
future. He closes with rational prediction thai

STATES will hold the even tenor of their way
