There ia probability that proposi.
ton to modify the existing Tariff will
be pressed upon Congress at its next
session. The Treasury is overnowing.
and it, depletion bv some process is
deemed necessary. This factmust strike
foreign Governments strangely: and is
an anomaly. II j., to be hoped, how
ever, that il NAV not BE- used as an apo
! logy for moro iniuricns!y affecting the
industrial interests of the country.
The experience Of the past year has
demonstrated the foil : Of the al ralnrem
principle of imposts. While the ex-
Iisting Tariff was pending, an effurt was
made to secure the imposition Of a
specific duty on iron. 1t was deemed
not merely just, but iudicious to have
"a definite impost upon an article so Ii.
able to ngctHafish. But the proposi-
ti0n was voted down, chiefly on the
ground that the duty named wase excess
sive. and opposed to the interests of the
consumer. Now, however, and for
nearly year past, the duty, under the
sliding principle embodied in The law,
Is just double pEaf The friends Of home
interests suggested!
The practical working Of this prin-
ciple is the very opposite Of what is
required hv the public good No such
duty as is now paid on iron is required,
either for the proposed purpose Of re,e
nue. or protection. II is an unnecessary
impeachment TO healthful competition.
and real burden npon the people. And
vet Just such absurlitics are necessa.
rilv incidental and insppatsfble from the
sliding scale principle. unfortunately

MUSICAL VISIT.

The "Cicilan Brass Band,n of Martins
burg, Va, Mr.. John II. Blondel, Leader,
paid musical visit on Saturday evening last,
and treated our citizens to number of ia
vorite airs, performed with great skill and
precision. Their entrance produced quite a
stir, and, as their wagon, drawn by four fine
horses, moved down German street, the side
walks were crowded with adn,irng listeners
to the sweet sounds which fell upon the ear.
Shortly after their arrival they were escorted
to the room of the "Shepherdstown Brass
Band, }" by some Of its members, where short
time was spent in friendly chat, when they
returned with each other to the hotel of Mr..
ID Eniler, both Bands playing as they marched
along, accompanied, by this time, with large
number of spectators. Arrived at this place,
very handsome boquet was presented to the
Band by the Ladies, through A. II. Boteler,
Esq, as an evidence Of their high apprecia-
ton of the compliment paid our town. The
remarks Of Mr.. b. were brief, but most APP
propriate and betting the occasion. He as
sured the Band that, though the flowers which
composed the bOquet, might fade, the recol-
lection Of their visit would be perennial
Mr.. Biondel, upon receiving the boquet, OBJ
served that though the Band had no orator
10 give expression To their thanks in words,
yet they could, and were determined to dis
course, IN return, some of their best and most
choice music. A number of cheers were given
by the multitude present at the close of the
eeremonies Of presentation, which, with other
incidents Of the visit, was Of ,ruly pleasant
and agreeable character throughout. AS
they were assured by Mr.. Boteler, in his re-
marks, The ''Shepherpstown Brass Band'
viii, We doub. not, repay our Martinsburg
friends with a similar visit at an early day.

BUSTING TOMATOES.

Those who love good tomatoes, will take
pains to cultivate them as near as may be in
their full. perfection. There is no other fruit
that delights more in air aud sunshine than
the tomato They should have, therefore,
abundance Of room, and the vines be sustain
cd from falling 20 the earth. Stout brush
firmly set around the plants. answers the pur-
pose better than any other method The
branches have room to extend themselves as
they like. while the limbs of the brush keep
them in their positions BY this method the
fruit is more fully exposed to the genial in
fucnces Of the air aud sunshine; whereby it
attains more delicious favor. larger size,

EcJ-The Richmond Wing is sorry to see
that the practical results intended to be eff
fected by the Memphis convention, are likely
to meet opposition arising from conflicting
of party opinions. 1t says that the conven-
ton endorsed appropriations by the General
Government to objects of Internal Improve
ments; and the policy of establishing facto-
ries at home for working up cotton; and as
these practical objects happen to come in con-
tact with the Democratic doctrines of anti
protection and anti-Internal Improy ement by
the General Government, though sanctioned
by convention composed of large number
of the members of that party, the indications
are already rife that opposition will be made
on party grounds, to carrying them out.

the posr orrIcE IN rms PLACE.

We deem il our duty to do more than
merely record the removal Of Mr.. Burns, the
Post Master here, and the appointment Of sIr.
Alburtis---at whatever risk il may be, of any
unjust imputation of partisan motives, on our
part in doing so.
Mr.. Burns received his appointment upon
the eve Of the close Of the late administration.
No whig, of course applied for the Office, when
his predecessor resigned, and the appointment
Of Mr.. Burns gave general satisfaction to
both parties. To bis Democracy no one Of
his own party could object, for he has been
s,aunch and devoted as Democrat in prin-
oipIe and conduct, when Others, as for exam-
pie, in the Congressional election of 1851,
gave a cold and equivocal support to the
nominee Of that party, or refused to support
him at all. He has moreover ever been re-
gardcd rs most worthy citizen, aud amiable
man. His misfortunes in business rendered
1t peculiarly proper that the patronage Of his
party should be bestowed upon him He
has conducted himself in his Office with fdel-
ity and propricty, and given rise to no just
complaints.
The removal Of such man has naturally
excited much indignation, and has tended to
disgust all right thinking men with that sys-
tein Of politics, which to accomplish some
selfish ends, wantonly sacrifices every consid-
Grafton of justice and fair dealing. lie has
been removed to make room for one, who, it
is no reflection to say, is in no way his supc-
gior in capacity for the Office, and whose ne
cessities did not require his appointment-but
then it is to be remembered that Mr.. Albur-
It's is the editor Of the Democratic paper here,
which is the organ of the Representative in
Congress from this District, (who, ii seems, by
ausage in the Department has the regulation
of those matters, there were objects to sub
serve in rewarding its advocacy of him, whom
not long ago, it personally abused in the
grossest terms. Such is politics Such the /
gratitude, aud such the game Of politicians.
