WASHINGTON, Saturday, Aug 81, 1852.
The result of the election in North Ca
rona has so far animated the Southern branch of the
party es to induce 1t to censure ard read out of the
party those rash and foohardy Democrats from Perm
syvsnia, who, on a recent occs ion, have presss
tamil amendment to the Civil and Diplomatic approprls
ton bill. Washington letter In The Richmond Enquirer
of the l7ih instant, expresses the hope that all those
members from Pennsy lysnia may be defeated 10 the
next Congressional elections and If the whole State of
Pennsylvania were to entsr ain such wicked tariff
ments, then says he, God bless her let her 20 -"
This lie cool, very. year or two ago, Penpss v.nia

sieeTed the very embodiment Of Southern honor and
chivblry. But now, when those very frieL1s Of Mr.
Buchansn-the late Mr. Buchanan In politics-are ask
ing little bonus In the shape Of strengthening paster
for their hearsiicken and disappoin ed Str, these
preI chtraii1s dismiss the beegars with God bless
you, We let you co." Where Ia Governor Porter who

In order, and screw loose where lie he now with
his tariff prospects had glmse at his joyful coun

Immediately afterward succeeded by darkness judge
from the tone OF the Southern press that there Ia 10
hope for any tariff snendment, and that the mil Of
the people had better be prepared at . surrender

We take the above from letter of the
Washington correspondent of THE Phiia-
delphta Ledger--a good Democrat in the
modern acceptation of the term-and do so
because we desire to bring it to the parti-
cular notice of that large class among our
selves called "Tariff Democrats, THAT is to
say, the men who believe in the necessity
of protection to the American planter, the
American farmer, and the American me-
chaniC and laborer, and yet vote for men like
Franklin Pierce and w. r. King, pledged
as they are, to use all their influence to
preserve to England the monopoly she aims
to secure by aid of the system called Brit
ish free trade. We have recently con-
versed with many such with men who
prayed anxiously for change in our sys-
tenn of policy, knowing that such change
was essential to their interests, but who
yet could not make up their minds to throw
off party trammels and come out boldly in
favor of the great American party the cor
ner stone of whose system is found in the
great principle of Protection to the Ameri-
can laborer. We desire now that they shall
see, 90 Democratic authority, what it is
that they obtain 10 return Cor their votes
given in aid of tire British free trade
system that has ruined Ireland and
India, Portugal and Turkey and every
other country that has repudiated the great
truth given to the world by ADAM SMITH,
that the natural place for the artisan is to
be found in the countries in which the food
and the wool are produced, and that any
attempt to compel the producers of raw
materials to export them in a rude form,
with view to the establishment of com.

lation OF the most sacred rights of man
kind" The ruin ofIreland has been due TO
