Tribune sums up the Tariff question in the
following concise and forcibe manner:-
/. tits fact that our country is at peace,
unscourged by pestience,in the enjoyment of
generous harvests, and every natural ele-
ment Of prosperity.
I'd. It is a fact that we have mines of
Iron, Copper, Lead, Zinc, and other useful
materials, as also coal, equalin extent va
rietv and richness to any in the world.
8. tits fact that we do produce food of
almost every kind, with Cotton and Wool
and might produce Flax, Hemp, and Silk to
an unlimited extent, and with as little labor
as any other nation.
4. 1t is fact that we have thousands of
men, women and children able and willing
to labor, looking ah&iOtsly for employment,
and yet wandering from day to day In idle
ness and destitution; and
s. It's fact that We are, aid for years
have been, running more and more deeply
in debt to Europe for Iron, Copper, Lead,
.Zinc,Silk, Wool, Flax, Hemp and the Rails,
Cloths, Implements, and various articles of
use or luxury therefrom fabricated
Fellow Countrymen! can you say this is
right! Ought we to be running in debt by
Millions per annum for the products of Eu-
fopean Labor, while the American Labor
that would gladly be employed in fabricating
those same products stands idle in our mar
ket-places and vainly pleads for opportunity
20 earn the bread of honest toll! Can it be
good policy which THUS Plunges us deeper
and deeper in debt for products which our
own people would gladly makeif they had
but the chance! What do you say of the
owner and cultivator of fifty acres who hires
strangers to feed his stock while his boys
frolic at the tavern, Whittier in private life
tends the policy that this country is how SO
feckiessly pursuing' .
Fellow Countrymen! we advocate shch a
change in our National Policy as will set
dur own people, now unwillingly idle, to
producing the Iron, Cloth, Silk. &C., for
which we are now runningin debtto Europe
and covering our whole land with foreign
mortgages in the shape of Railroad Bonds,
State or Company Stocks, &C., &c. Will
you not, regardless Of party names, help US
to procure this change! a.Sy
20 The Richmond Enquirer, the leading
Ldcofoco paper in Virginia, says:
"Our only weakness is the want of that
unity and concert which the pressure OF
formidable foe inspires"
That's it. So thought the Mexicans; so
thought the British-and both discovered
that the pressure was too powerful to be re-
sisted. 1t creates "fainting" sensation,
which cannot "stand up'' against the stall
wart blows of SO formidable an adversary.
FREE-T -TRADE.-1'he New York Times OF
Wednesday last, alluding to the recent rise
n Breadstuffs caused by an expected partial
failure in Europe, says:
"Produce bills begin to appear more free
"; but the relief from -four and grain, II
should be borne in mind, in contrast with the
current heavy import of goods, is inconsid-
S,5o6,OOO bushels ofwheat, shipped to Great
Britain from the principal ports of the Unit
ed States for IL months, since lst Septem-
Der, 1851, would not pay for over one-ha.i
Of the foreign imports of the month of ku-
gust aloffe. The bulk of bfeadstuffs to GO
forward, under enhanced prices, 1t is hoped
will be large, but barrel of flour and
bushels of wheat, each to the c sterling, ere
ate exchange slowly"
This is free-trade'with vengeance. Il
does not look as if it would materially benefit
the growers of grain. Look at it.. That
which is exported, is lowiiprice5 that which
finds home market, is high.

OETThe Telegraph is anxious to have an:
other notice from US. We will give the pool
beggar after favors three:
II says:-"The editor ofthe Gazette, who
has TO resort to posting the names of speak
ers who he knew would not attend"
In the polite language of the day, that il
not true.
Il SAYS apain:-"The Gazette claims tina
the whole Whig party of this county is re
sponsfbIe for its innumerable falsehoOds ant
blackguardism.
That is a falsehood. -a ~
It says yet again:--"It seems that tn
Gazette, as is very common with it, misquot
ed the remarks of the Democrat"
That, in the expressive language Of Ncsl
Webster, is "lie." pag
The poor, miserable managers Of the Tel
sSrapk have our pity. Not having sens'
enoughtohave opinions Of their own, the!
are undeF the control of knaves.
