THE TARlrF.-Ihe Charleston Evening News

IHE IARIFF.-1he Charleston EVenlnG News
says:
1t will be observed that the Tariff Bill, repor.
ted by Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, from the Com
nittee of Ways and Means, has passed the Sen.
ate as we'll as the House. This bill does no
nOre than exempt from duty, and place On the
rec list, numerous articles especially used by
,orthern manufactures. 1t does not reduce the
General rates OF duties, which are now high and
,,crous 1t dscrimlnates in favor OF the North
IS against the South. 1t is contrivance to ell.
nance protection and evado the Constitution,
equality OF taxation, and general free trade. 1t
seeks to f;ssten upon agricultural industry and
southern productions, except sugar, the entire
burdens OF the government. The sugar and
ron interests, no doubt, combined with tue manu-
acturing for this purpose. This great question
Of duties and taxation must be again sent to
he people. Corporations, inonopolies and indi-
rect bounties, in the form Of protection, are ru-
ling and running our land. Up with the banner
Of free trade, and Of equal and direct taxation.

REsULTs OF EMANCIPATION IN JAMAIcA.-Mr.
Robert Campbell, an old resident of the Island,
has recently delivered lecture in Philadelphia,
on "The negro in Jamaica" In it he gave the
following picture of the condition of the Island
the result of the emancipation of its negroes:
The present condition of the island was not
calculated to give it a high rank in the eyes of
the world. The negroes having ascertained that
by culture of small portions of ground they can
support themselves, are satisfied to do so, with
out the exercise of energy. As a natural con.
sequence, traveller through Jamaica will find
large estates, once rich and fertile, now lying
absolutely waste, and overgrown with grass.
Although cattle can be raised, yet beef is i'm.
ported; although Indian corn would flourish ex'
tensively, yet meal is procured from America !;
although the coasts of the island abound in fish,
yet Halifax supplies the article; and number
less other commodities are imported that with.
out difficulty could be produced at home"
