A Change in the Whie Tactics.

We notice that the whg papers iha advocate the
OF Scott have adopted new plan of operations within
the last few days They declare that the chance Of
eecting General Scott has sensbly improved In word
they tell u.s. that after succession OF gales and clouds
and dangers, they begin to feel that their great peril
over, and that there is a prospect of escaping what
seemed to be inevitable shpwreck We admire the tact
Of our whig friends, and have no objection TO see them
attempt TO cheer up little; but there is reason beyond
all doubt denial which renders defeat as certain to
them as the advent OF another November.
To say that the prospect Of eecing Scott grows bright
is to say that the power of the foes OF the constitution
growing srong that the sectionalism OF the North is
arouspg against determined and defiant South; and
that the worst doctrines OF fanacism about TO prevail
over that sentiment vital oour peace-the sentiment OF
broad and devoted nationality The people Of this
try have had TOO many lessons taught TO them Of the
danger of allowing the enemies OF this sentiment again
acquire ascendency; and they are resolved TO resist
them to the last
Where indeed, are the indications to be found of the
increasing strength Of General Scott 1t is not in the
South certanly canno, be in the East, in the West
or in the North From every point Of the compass we
hear the voices of intrepid who refuse be led to
another crusade upon their fellow citizens, and who
calmly await the overthrow of Scott the surest way to
maintain the tranquility OF the country and preserve
the Union itself.

Pierce injustice in saying that he gallant soldier

battle at all, it is about TO give its readers the credit

FREE SOIL CONVENTION OF OHIO.

To the Editor of the National Era
In your paper of the Goth ult, are contained
the proceedings of the late Free Soil Convention
of Ohio which met at Columbus on the / tn
of February. One of it's resolutions reads az
follows
Resolved That we are against monopoly in
every form, whether in respect Of land OF hui
man snews and we shall never cease to de-
mand for all men equal rights in the pursuit OF
happiness"
What does this STATE CONVENTION mean
DO they mean, that they are opposed to the
possession Of large tracts of land and large
numbers of slaves by single individuals! Prob
ably not, for, as consistent anti-slavery men,
they ought to oppose the enslavement of every
and any single human being Their language
is very vague and indefinite, but by the aid of
oil the lights attainable, such as history, for
mer declarations, &c, we are enabled TO guess
that they intend to denOunce property in land,
rs equally vicious, unjust, and defective, as
property in slaves! Is moderation never more
to be known amongst political men, Are all
parties, and all fragments Of all parties only to
agree in the one principle of driving every
measure into the EXTREMIST ultraism ! believe
it is Sydney Smith who says that public wis
dom is always high pressure wisdom Extremes,
alas beget extremes. Is there rejecting
man in the community who does not see that
the Red Republicans have, Internationally
erected the most ignoble of thrones and filed
it with the most ignoble of despots, in the per-
son of Louis Napoleon This they did, by chill
ing the blood Of every man of property in France,
by their horrible dogmas. Louis Blanc scolds
and complains say to him, as Nathan said
to David o Louis Blanc, thou art one of the
men who have done this deed
This Ohio Convention are the avowed enc
mics of slavery. They put our abilities in the
same category with that institution. Their
ambiguous and oracular language, no doubt
threatens us with some great evil. As they are
strong, it would have been msre!fa in them to

THE TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES.

By the official statement the value of articles
exported from the United States last year
amounted to S2i7, l20, Of which there were
domestic products to the value Of Sl7S, SAG, 555
domestic gold and silver, Sls,l43 1863 foreign
gold and silver, 81 / ,0sS,7l7; foreign goods ex
ported, s973s,695: making an aggregate, as
above, Of $2l7,511130
The imports in the same period amounted to
S2l5,725 $685. of which S4967,90l were in
specie If we deduct the specie from the gross
amount of imports, and also the S9,738, 500
for foreign goods exported there will remain
S20l, 0l9, 399, as the value Of foreign goods i'm
ported into and consumed in this country in
the year 1851, against Sl7S, 546,555 of domes-
tic products which We exported in that year
leaving balance against US Of S22,472s44.
This is bad enough yet it would have been
great deal worse, but for the advance in the
price of raw cotton, which thus sweled the
against US. This and the gold received from
California enabled us to meet the cost Of our
importations and but for these resources, the
one incidental and the other new, how would
the Industrial and commercial interests Of the
country have sustained themselves in the crisis
winch they have had to pass through at the
close of the year !-Baltimore Patriot.
Well, the fair presumption is, that we want
ed certain articles of clothing and luxury,
more than we did gold and silver and there
fore we made the exchange That was fair
business transaction, and the precious metals
were used to discharge their legitimate func-
lions. III we had not had them, we might have
economical, or furnished ourselves from our
own labor, or run in debt The last process is
always short one, and carries with il its own
remedy People who get in debt, and cannot
pay, lose their credit and must then work Or
starve. That would be our position, il we
should become bankrupt in our trade with Eu.
rope, Now it is pretty certain, we should pre.
fer thrift and labor to starvation. 80 much for
that
