A Lesson on IRoN-Mr Weed, of the Al
bany Evening Journal, (now on his passage
home from Europe) writes from London as
follows, (aiter announcing heavy purchase
of rails for America)-
Speaking of Iron, by the way, let us ex-
tract an expensive moral from the existing
state of things. The Tariff of 1916, aided
by cheap iron from England, having broken
down our own Manufactures, we are now,
with all SORTS of enterprise in hand, wholly
dependent upon the English Manufacturers,
They understand and are taking advantage of
this folly. The price Of rails has risen, and
will continue to advance Iron is twenty-five
and thirty per cent. higher now than it was
year ago. Rails could have been rolled, if
our Tariff had not been broken down, at
home, twenty-five percent cheaper than their
cost here. And then, besides using up our
raw materials, giving employment for Amer
lean capital and labor, and increasing the de-
mand for American produce, the steamers
we1d not be taking eff specie at be,ateef

There is either unpardonable stupidity or
wanton wickedness in our Free Trade Policy.
Cotton growers and shippers naturally enough
advocate Free Trade, though it is more than
probable that their true and permanent inter
ests would be promoted by protective Tar
if. But that the masses of our people and
above all the Democracy of America should
favor Free Trade is passing strange"
England having by a rigid and unyielding
adherence to aprotective policy for centuries
developed all her resources, covered her en-
tire kingdom with engines, forgcs, looms and
spindles, and attained perfection in all the de-
partments of manufactures, with cheap labor
and untold millions of surplus capital, is in Il
condition to ask from the nations whose MAIL
ufacturing interests she has broken down,
free trade, Yes, after England has grown
great and powerful, overspreading the world
with her manufactures and spanning the
oceans and seas with hercommerce; when, by
her perfected machinery, long experience,
multiplied facilities, and unlimited capital,
England placed herself beyond the reach of
competition, she assumes the championship
and becomes an example of Free Trade. This
is eminently wise for England. Centuries
of restriction have prepared her for freedom
in trade. Free Trade is as clearly the policy
of England now as protection is the true
policy Of America. The reasons, in both cases,
are found in the relative condition Of the two
countries.

r. sB7A An exchange paper, noticing the for
lorn appearance of the democracy condoles
them as follows:
"But hold bit! There is a ray of hope
for the disheartened, gloomy -visaged demo.
Gratis, yet. A shrewd, long headed Western
seditor, Ni,o, asIes a fsvfoani eogitation, says
chat Gen. Taylor was the Thirteenth Presl.
dent, and, as his successor must be F. P
Eourtecnth President, it follows, as irresisti.
bly, as any conclusion in logic, that f. P
Frank Pierce is the man! If Scott doesn't
kick the beam now, and his followers feel O
colder chill creep over them than ever did
over their champion when facing the deep
throated cannon Of the British, at Lundy's
Lane or Chippewa, we are no judge of omens
We pause, with intense anxiety, for the next
@coincidcnce.''

In Paris on the lst inst. fourteen persons
were arrested in some detached houses, and
shortly afterwards the police took into custo.
DIV several others. At first, strict secrecy was
observed, and the affair enveloped in good
deal of mystery, but it afterwards transpired
that the parties arrested were conspirators
who had been detected in the act of con.
structing an internal machine with which tc
assassinate Louis Napoleon. The machine
consisted of fourteen barrels, each capable oI
containing twenty bullets.

THE Cry OF ABOLITION democratic
organs have opened 1.-THE old cry of aboli-
tion. When Van Buren and Harrison were
opposing candidates, they told us that "sweet
little Matte" was the very pink Of southern
soundness, but that Gen. Harrison was an
abolitionist. In a short time Van was run
ming as the freesoil candidate while the course
of Gen. Harrison had sileDced slander a.
gainst him. Next we are told that Mr.. Clay
was traitort TO the South, and that Polk was
stgriJi 10 tiiss Pslk s;es e;ssn-
ing the Oregon bill with the Wilmot Proyiso,
and Clay exet;iRg himself with almost su-
perhuman power to save the country from
the dangers into which it had been plunged
by the abolitionists, thus assisted and encOur-
aged. Taylor and Fillmore came neyt for
their denunciaton; while Cass and Butler
were held up as models of fidelity to the
South. Gen. Taylor sleeps in his honored
grave, where the jackals of party dare not
disturb him, and Fillmore has lived down the
calumny, but Cass has been repudiated as
untrustworthy by the very men who swore Sc
stoutly to his soundness. Another and evel
memorable instance was furnished in the GU
bernaturial canvass in this State. The Irish
howl that locofocoism put up over the aboli-
tionism of George W. Summers, has scarce
ly yet died away, while "Joseph" was held
up as the truest champion of the slavehold-
er's rights, the South had ever produced
Within few months past, we have seen
Summers elevated to irresponsible and hon
orable post of judgeship by his neighbors
and acquaint,mces, while Johnson has been
censured by democratic Legislature for
proclaiming doctrines that "tend 10 produce a
spirit of insuJoriinaiion and public mischief"
As matter of course the democracy are
bound to declare Gen. Scott, though born
and reared in Virginia, an aboitionist, and
Gen' Pierce, who was born and raised in
New Hampshire, a pro-slavery man. We
think the democracy have cried 'wolf" lit
tie too long. They have been caught at their
sport rather too often, and they must pardon
the Southern people if this time they do not
believe them. -Lynchburg VwginiaR.

'Mr. Clay's countenance Immediately after
death looked like an antique cast. His fea-
lures seemed to be perfectly classical; and the
repose of all the muscles gave the lileless
body quiet majesty, hardly reached by a
living human being His last request was,
that his body might be buried, not in Wash
ington, nor in Frankfort, Kentucky, (where
so many distinguished Kentuckians sleep the
long sleep of death) tut at Lexington, by

The Express in an article on the fallacies
of Kossuth's statements and predictions, es-
pecially his charge of Hungarian hatred to-
wards Austria, says:
"The Emperor of Austria-"the young Ne
ro,"- the 'boy butcher" the very embodi-
ment, personifcation, and essence of born
absolutism, according to the certificate of
character volunteered by Mr.. Kossuth has
recently been making visit to Hungary, as
those of our readers who keep an eye on the for
eign news are well aware. How has this
youthful tyrant been received by a people
whom the 'ilustrious Magyar" has been all
along telling us were ripe for renewed revolt,
or. if not, could at least be made so by little
sympathy, a little intervention, little mate
rial aid, from the United States of America
How received! Why, by popular ovations,
by demonstrations Of public respect and at
tachment, by the most humble manifestations
of gratitude, eyen.for theimperial condeseen-
sion of visit. Indeed, if the newspaper re-
ports be credited, there are no bounds to the
popular enthusiasm"
