SUGAR Duties.

Mr. CcLFAx Of Indiana, has im,ro,.uc-
ed It Bill for the repeal Of the duty on Su-
gar We believe il to be a good move, and
We are surprised to find it advocated 10y a
gentleman whose tenacious adherence 10
the exploded theories of his party is. in lis
own eighborhood, proyerbial. Tie Pro
tec,ivc doctrine las lost a large share ofi,s
strength II .le higher excitement attend
ant upon tie slavery Issue as cur cp-
ponen.s are pleased to cali i. How uue
it Is that tie opposition Is 4 party Of cA-
pedi.n:s and not Of principles. Ten years
ago yoa could rot have singled out q man
among them VI ho would have hazarded his
political reputation for Wing soundness by
proposing to vote the Protective policy IA
nullity. Greeley cf tie Tribune, Weed Of
the Albany Journal and several other anti

Mr. Greeley has been tie Mentor. and
toa great extent the model Of Mr.. ColfaX
until quite recently. In 1854 {. WAS Re
ported to have become X. y. in order to
secure n seat in Congress. ii this WAS
true, and our witness Is not so credible as
we would like--only a leading member of
the ordern lndiana--it was tie FIRST de-
partare Of the ambitious young man from
Tie path cf lis file leader. Greeley was
down on X. N's Mr. Colfax raD tL~t
hobby out Of capital in lis district, ard
.hen abandoned il. His return to the pc
culiar.ies OF the Greeley school took place
las. summer. He is now taking 4 second
fight from his parent nest, aud We tius:
he will have the nerve to stand up to TIE
position he has assumed. May 10 Nortk-

We are OF one opinion low. ani Ne trust
this may be only the beginning cf sound
