Upon the principles thus proclaimed by the con-

democratic party occupy it. they safe and secure

charge, or even imagine, that Mr.. Buchanan has or
will change his position on this subject, or consent
to swerve from the line thus laid down by the demo
cratic party and approved by himself, do him great
injustice. 1t is unjust toward his democratic friends
to spread the suggestion that he has or will change
in thought, word or deed this subject Others
may forget the past or adopt new and different the

objects, but he viii go where democratic principles

ance which has ever formed 80 prominent and dis

SIR have the honor herewith TO enclose a schedule
showing the difference between the duties upon leading
articles OF American importation into this country inn
posed by the old present tariff of this empire and the
new or the customs tariff, that is TO go into operation
the LIST OF July next Both of these tariffs have sent
TO the department, the last the 29th of April 1851
The Emperor in his speech from the throne, the
sion of the opening Of the sessions the Senate and
the House Of Deputies on the Sd of May, says 'sIhe
raordnary price of the necessres Of life serious
suffering To the poorer classes of society and demands
from your solcitude adequate of relief The
reduction Of the new tariff of customs Is not sufficient to
obtain that result And the Marquis d Abrantes and
Vseount Abaete two senators, committee appointed
70 reply to this speech, lhe Senate amenting
the serious suffering that the excessive dearh of the
cessaes OF life has caused to the poorer classes of
population will endcavor very willingly and with great
pleasure. to take any to lessen it TO extn
gush it, "
Now it will appear that already reductions have been
made by the tariff upon articles OF American import
alton, and the United States have been more benefited
and favored than any other nation and it will also be
that the Legislature of this empire have been in
huenced by enlightened and liberal policy than
heretofore and from what has been manifested in other
quarters, ii Is to be hoped well expected that fur
the benefit advancement, and prosperity of American
trade, commerce. and navigation.
The endeavor the part of the importers chiefly for
eigners to have postponed the action of the tariff to
day later than the LIST of July next was unavailng
and learn that it will certainly go into operation
that day.

MAN LOST IN Corn FIELD-Nor FouNp
uSTI. THE FOURTH DAY.-Great solicitude
was created short time since by the abb
sence Of our friend, Daniel s. Morrison Of
Hot Spring county. He has very rcmarka-
Bile held Of corn, and walking down one
evening to see what damage the coons were
doing, he Glanced to stroll too far from the
fence and soon became lost if frthe immense
growth of corn. He wandered for three
days, subsisting during that time on green
corn. His negroes becoming alarmed about
him, commenced a diligent search, and found
him on the fourth day. He was then busi-
ly engaged in rubbing two dry sticks togeth-
er to make fire, the green raw corn having
produced an unpleasant sensation on his
stomach. He thinks that he would have
found his way out on the third day, but he
got into patch of black republican beans,

THE NEW TERRITORY OF DAcorAH.

The last Congress, it will be remembered,
erected a new Territory under the name Of
Dacotah, and we condense the following
facts, of interest TO our readers, from the
late number of the Independent at Sergeant's s
Bluff. d. g+..... ... ..-sr-ss.-...s. -, s..
This new Territory bids fair to be be a
field of enterprise which will soon command
much attention. 1t includes great part of
the valley of the Sioux, the valleys of the
Jamos and Vermillion Rivers and large
tracts of beautiful bottom lands lying on
the Missouri, particularly that beautiful
tract of country known as the yermillion
prairie. s,ftt ~ y. sa,,- s.rf IS. 44 =. 5,i
The mouth Of the Big Sioux River is about
eight miles northwest of Sergeant's Bluff,
and will be the southeast corner of the Ter
ritory. s# .
The prevailing want Of this entire region
is timber. It's chief attractions are fertile
soil, pure air and water, and unusually
healthy climate; and 1t is believed also to
possess an abundance Of mineral coal. The
portion lying on the Big Sioux is an undu-
lating prair1e, containing a few small tracts
of hardwood timber. It is abundantly wa
tered with springs and numerous small
creeks, while the Sioux and its larger tribu-
taries furnish ample water power. The falls
of the Sioux, at the northwest corner of Iowa
in particular, offers one Of the finest water
powers in the West. For the last forty
miles Of its course the Sioux winds its way
through tract Of bottom land Of great ex-
tent and almost unsurpassed fertility, and
in many places amply timbered. n
This tract Of land may be described as a
triangle, having its base on the Sioux and
its apex on the Missouri at point few
miles below the mouth Of the L'Ean Qui
Court River, and must unquestionably form
the seat of empire in the new Territory
Thither the eyes of~specalators and adven-
turers are eagerly turned, and hundreds and
thousands are only awaiting the purchase Of
these lands from the Indians by government
to press its virgin soil and make it the the
atre Of new enterprise, and the certain meana
Of requiring wealth and advanced position.
In regard to the climate, it is we'll known
fact that westward besomes milder, so much
so that tho winters in the northwestern psr-
tlon Of Dacotah are probably not more 90
! we're than in Northern Pennsylvania. 8
