South, during the canvass and the denuncaton Of Gen.
ScoTT for his alleged free-so antes and connexions,

that Gen. PIERCE would have laid down by the side of
JOHN VAN BuREs, and kicked DICKINSON only out Of
the bed but out of the chamber and the house This fra
ternizng with VAN buren,, from what know of the
South and from the opinions those who are much bet
ter acquainted with Southern feeling than am, will no
doubt seal the fate Of the Administration in that quarter,
where the Union Democrats previously very much
soured and dissatisfied
What will the Administration do with our Collector and

says. But will they remove them If they
do, they will find the remedy than the disease

Ihave seen letters from Warrington which that the
Administration nervously anxious for the wings
of the Whg paryin this State unite and to carry the
State at the coming election the only of reuni
ing their party. think it probable that such are
the wishes of the Administration but hope they will
not be realized.
You will perceive by the public journals that the sub

State has already attracted attention here and the at

Such union would undoubtedly carry the
State and SO far the present Administration is
cerned, it would be the handwriting the wall"
If present party organization is to continue, Mr. Dick
inson will be the next Democratic candidate for any
candidate patronised by the present Administration
would have the solid vote of the South against him.
Do you know that am tired Of writing on these dry
details of politics and political animoses and organiza

my earlier letters about local matters and paint New
York and New Workers, with their habits oles, mode Of

though they hit pretty hard of the local foes,

naming at the rate under which the present tariff
went into operation continued to decline with the
decline of prices and thus operated in double ra
tic against the iron-masters of the United States
from the reduction in the foreign cost and the re-
duction of the duty at the same time. The result
as to price would without doubt, be the as re-
CARDS sugar, should any steps be taken which would
destroy, or even considerably reduce, the cultiya-
ton of the cane in the United States and it should
be recolected that an advance of price in that art-
Gle could not very easily be corrected by increased
cultivation abroad for the West Indian and Brazil
sugargrowers have not the necessary labor nor caa
they procure it. SO to give the required increase
in the production Of the cane
At the last session Of Congress the Hon. Mr.
BRooKs, of New York, introduced into the lower
House the subject of a modification Of the tariff,
with the very view to meet the present difficulty
and his plan was on the same basis we have sug-
gested, of adding to the free-list all materials
and other articles which did not interfere with Ame-
rcan labor Mr.. BROOKS urged it with much
ability on the attention of the House. but did
not succeed in efecting any change or even OBJ
tanning consideration of the subject. 1t will
now, however, force itself upon the attention of
Congress, and will no doubt be carried into effect
and our only wish is that it may be done in man
ner calculated promote the general interests Of the
country without injury to any particular class of
the community.
