The New TARIFF threatens to produce dis
astrous consequences upon our manufactures
and industry. The reduction of the duty on
cotton goods from % to 10 per cen; will have
the effect to restrict all new enterprises in
that branch Of manufacturing. except in pc
culiarly favorable localities. In Rhode Island
where the great paramount interest OF the
State, is manufacturing, it is considered
most disastrous measure. In several in
stances where contracts and orders had al
ready been given for the erection Of new mills
and the extension of old ones, they have been
cancelled since the passage of the new Tariff
and the designs abandoned. Manufacturers at
the East, say, as their old mills are worn out,
or are destroyed by fire, they will not be re-
built; and the business, particularly in the
finer goods, will be abandoned to their En-
glish competitors; who will thereby be gain
ing more and more the control Of the cotton
market in the purchase of the raw material,

cloth market, the English Cotton Lords will

about ten or twelve men. could not hear OF

BRrGnTs CoURsE.-Many Of the leading
Democratic papers of the Union express sur
prise and regret at the course of Bright, and
say it will entail inamy and ruin upon his
party in this State. The sound Democratic
papers Of our own State condemn him in Sc
we're terms. The Columbus (Indiana) Demo-
crat closes an article upon the subject with the
following expressions:
His total disregard of pledges and violation
of faith may be considered by himself and his
friends as pretty sharp" but we can assure
them, that large majority Of the party in
this section, most of whom were hitherto
warm friends of Mr.. Bright. regard his con-
duct as rascaly and shameful ia the highest
degree.
We deeply and sincerely regret that any Of
our public men should display SO little regard
for honesty and fair dealing, the result OF which
will be a lasting shame and disgrace upon oul
party and our State.
The Chicago Democrat and the Boston Pos
deprecate the idea that the Senate Of tn,
United States should give any sanction di
rectly or indirectly to the revolutionary ant
outrageous proceedings in his recent pretend
ed election to the Senate. To countenanc'
the act would be to implcate the party in
fraud that would drive every honest, con
sentative man from its ranks.
