PHILADELPHIA VS.. NEw-YORK

PENNSYLVANIA OF all the States in the Union, Is
generally considered the one most interested in
Protective Tariff and yet it has been her misfortune
to have men in the United States Senate who, as
rule, have voted directly against her interests
looking to the Southern oligsrohy to reward their
betrayal Of their constituency. Eminently among
this class of men stands Mr. Buchanan. Like Mr..
Dallas. be betrayed his State. He affirmed that
Mr. Polk was better Tariff man than Mr. Clay,
and the unsurpassed fraud OF the Polk Kane cor
respOndence which represented Polk as Tarih
man, was ft accompaniment to NJ. Buchsnan's
brazen declaration.
We are reminded Of these facts by the recent
refusal OF the City Councils of Philadelphia to
allow Mr.. Buchanan to receive bis friends and fel-
low citizens in Independence Hall Mr.. Penrose,
a member of the Council, in the sturdiest manner
advocated the refusal and carried his point. He
was oppoi ed tOmakiDg Councils President-makers,
and, besides, Mr.. Buchanan had betrayed the in
terests of Philadelphia, and builds up the City OF
New-YOrk at her expense. We feel with SID
cere man like Mr.. Penrose however i'm
polite it may be to give Mr. Buchanan
lift in his Presidential candidacy tour-opposlton
in such case simply aiding the enemy-but we
must dissent from his opinion that Mr. Buchanan's
betrayal of his constituents has built up New-YOrk
City at the expense of Philadelphia. On the con-
trary, we consider a protective tariff so sun
like an Institution that its rays warm into
being new cities, and fortify all the old
ones with equal geniality according to their
natural advantages. So far from the abominasle
bill Of 1646 helping New-York, it has cost her at
least hundred millions. 1t has cut down our inn
migration, the t0uchstone of our local as well as
general prosperity, more than one half; it has re-
duced our ship.buildiDg 30 that it is one half of
what it was seven years ago; and it threatens to
open the way to fresh commercial crses-the bal
ance wheel being wanting in adequate protection
to home industries.
We know that Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
have suffered enormously by the ignorance tricks
lies and frauds of their politiclans-among TIE
most stolid and uDscrupulOus in the Union-but we
know that thelcty and State of New York have suf-
fered scarcely less from the same cause.-the de-
struction of the Tariff of lSi2. The State of
New York is seriously iDjured-as we showed
some time snce-tbrough the desire of certain
politicians to give commercial supremacy to the
City of New York, the promoters of such efforts
being ignorant of the principles of political econo-
my-Of the fact that the largest manufacturing
country alone can have the largest foreign CON-
merce and that domestic mills and mines always
advance the permanent interests of merchants at
home trading with foreign ports.
In another view reception of Mr.. Buchanan
because he returns from foreign mission is all
humbug. There never was any Importance in the
mission of Mr. Buchsnan--nOthing that could not
have been settled through the ocean mail, at the
cost of a few shings; and it is simply drivel to
speak of it as momentous or try to galvanize our
worthless diplomatic machinery into life and i'm
