N.6. LAND WARRANTS BoUGHT AND SOLD We
buy Land Warrants and Revolutionary Scrip high-
est market rates. giving generally higher prices than
any other markets afford, except those Immediately
in the vicinity Of Land Offices where Warrants are
located. The advantage Of sending Warrants to
Washington is that discrepal cies in assignments,
which often occur and produce diff ulty, can be rec
titled, frequently, at the General Land Office.

reductions Of duty on the great interests OF lead

MASSACHUSETTS SELLING OUT.

Cousspondeuee Of The y. Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Feb. 7, 1855.
Ii is stated that the Massachusetts, dele "a lion
in the House are ready to go for the reduction Of
the tariff. Perhaps before this reaches you the
demonstration will have been made. Two years
ard more ago, We predicted that the Msssachu-
setts manufacturers were on the high road to
Free-trsee. They have since demonstrated the
ioundness Of tina. view by contributing of their
substance literally to buy through the Reciprocity
bill lately consummsted-thu regulating the
principle Of protection; and are now, it seems,
taking another step in the same direction.
We ought to be thar kfal that the lately
elected delegation from that State are at
least not their representatives.. We would
not, however, be understood as intimating
that the present representatives Of that an
cient Commonwealth are especially in their
interest, but - these gentlemen have been SUM-
msrily dismissed from their posts without cause,
they carl be excused for acting now with extraor-
binary independence. Without wishing to draw
any invidious distinction, therefore, We do yet
sincerely rejoice that set Of representatives are
coming to Washington from Massachusetts,, who
neither owe their election TO, or are dependent
