The Tariff.

Judge Trumbull's proposition TO
make repeal of the sugar duties a
part of the bill repeating the fishing
bounties, provoked the EXTREMIST ire
of Mr.. Slidcll, of Louisiana, who de-
clarcd, as reported in the Globe:
II will simply give notice now,
that if this amendment be adopted, |
shall move further to extend it to all
textile fabrics and, if it be ncccs-
sary, | shall vote for the abolition of
all custom-houses and all duties on
imports"
Mr.. Bigler expressed his alarm at
the turn which was being givnc to
the proceedings. Mr.. Biglcr's alarm
seemed greatly to amuse Gov. Seward,
who said
Il begin by saying that must ex-
press my profound sympathy with my
friend from Pennsylvania, that he sat
here q fortnight, and saw the pro-
lection Withdrawn from the fishing
interest, the great interest of the
Northeastern States, that he sat here
silent when the proposition was made
to withdraw protection from the man
ufacture of salt, and that he comes at
last to the rescue Of protection when
sugar is in danger. 1t shows that,
where the treasure is, there the heart
is also Mr. President, | am opposed
to altering the tariff that was made
last year; am opposed to reducing
the duty on salt; | am opposed to
disturb bling that general arrangement,
which was the best we could arrive at,
not perfect in all things but if this
business is to be carried on Of strik-
ing down the interests of the country,
one by one. ! am now prepared to
vote for abolishing the duty on smear,
which stands on precisely the same
ground as the proposition to abolish
the duty on salt. Both are ncccs-
saries of life both are for the poor
and rich alike
"Mr Bell, Mr. Hamlin, and others.
And then iron.
"Mr. Seward. And if the honor
able Senator from Tennessee will
stand up, ! will go with him for con-
sidcring the question of iron too. |
have as little interest as any other in
either
Then followed a passage at arms
between Mcssrs. Cameron and Bigler,
upon the frce-tradc opinions of the
latter gentleman, and his vote in favor
of the tariff bill of the last session.
This sugar business is likely to be
a troublesome one. The duty is no.
thing less than bounty to certain
planters, the effect being to furnish a
new employment to negro slaves, and
increase their price. The retention
of such bounty will be awkward
and difficult, after the fislig bountics
are repealed.

Search Demonstrations.

Something must result from the
ovcrhauling of our merchant vessels
by British cruisers. If the government
stands it, the merchants and the sea
captains will not. But the government
is strongly committed to resistance
of this pretension, and we have no doubt
is ready to make good its word by some
practical demonstrations. In his let
ter of April 10, 1858, to Lord Napier,
Gen. Cass said {:
"To permit a foreign officer to
board the vessel of another power, to
assume command in her, to call for
and examine her papers, to pass judg-
mcnt upon her character, to decide
the broad inquiry, whether she is nav
igatcd according to law, and to send
her in at pleasure for trial, cannot be
Submitted to by any independent nation
cithom INJURY and dishonor. The Uni
ted States deny the right of the CRUZ
sers of any other power whatever, to
enter their vessels by force in time Of
peace"
The following are the resolutions
adopted at a meeting of ship owners,
shipmastcrs and others, held at Del
monico's, Now York:
Resolred, That the late measure of
insolcnt search of American merchant
men instituted by British naval Off
GERS in the West Indies, is an outrage
upon our rights, injurious to our CO H.
merce, and insulting in the extreme
to our national honor.
Resolred, That the navigators of
this meeting assert that their expo
rience in foreign waters has proved
that the American navy has ever af-
forded to American sailors but little or
no protection.
ReSolred, That Congress should as
sist the administration to enforce ret
ribution for every high-handed wrong,
SO as to render the American name a
terror throughout the world.
Resolved, That "our flag covers the
cargo, "ICllCl tuaI SalSo CoISiStS
of niggcrs or nothing and that free
dom from search" is an Americans
inalienablc right at sea, as much as
freedom from the intrusion Of foreign
policemen in our domicils Oh shore.
Such demonstration as the sub
ject demands is to be made in New
York in few days.
The New Orleans Delta says:
A gentleman of the highest re-
liability from Havana by the Black
Warrior, arrived last night, brings in
formation that the American ship
captains had held a meeting and TIA
ken measures to have all the cannon
and armament which is on board their
various ships placed on one of their
number, which shall be well manned,
and proceed to sea with the design of
capturing the saucy little British cruz
ser when she overhauls the ship, as
she very surely would, in accordance
with her usual practice. If this re-
port is as well founded as it apparent
ly is substantial. we may possibly
hear how John Bull caught Tartar,
per the next arrival"

Summer Shows and Winter Flowers.

What an idea Who ever heard of
SHOWS in summer, except in those
drcary regions visited by Doct. Kane !
True, we do not see them, unless We
look upon the hoary head of Mt.Wash-
ington, or some other equally high
elevation but have we not all felt
them, settling around our heart-iires,
chilling and blighting our sweetest
pleasures? Ask the father and moth
or, as they see in their garden Of love
one of their beautiful buds droop, pine
and die. Ask the devoted daughter,
as she sees her best earthly friend, a
mother, snatched from her fond en-
brace. Oh are not these the sharp
cutting blasts which almost eXtinguish
even life itself? Do We not see those
constantly around us who are wading
through the deep hcart-snows Of life,
and earnestly wishing that death
might relieve them?
See that fond wife deserted by the
husband of her love; and kind, ai:
fcctionatc husband deserted by faith
less wife. ask, Would pcrishing
amid the SHOWS Of the lips be any
thing compared with that? Sec, also
the poor students of either sex, il
their eager thirst for knowledge, SUI
tcring those cold blasts and chilling
SHOWS, cast upon them by an untcel
ing world.
Can we look into any heart and not
find the frosts and SHOWS of SORROW
and disappointment ? No; and dc
We not also find flowers, perfected by
those very sorrows, pccping up like
the sweet pansy and crocus? Has
not every sensitive person, while sui,
fcring from some rude blast of winter
had presented him those sweetest OF
all flowers, sympathy and love ? Have
they not been swcetcr than honey, and
more valued than gold or diamonds
Then shall we not, as we see Nature
putting on her robes of beauty and
loneliness, decking the widespread
prairie, the hillside and the waysid,
with those smiles from Heaven, which
are given to cheer us on in the rugged
path of life shall we not recognize q
kind Father, who sends us winter as
well as summer flowers and blcs
sings?
AS we arc cultivating our tangible
gardens, shall we not also look into
the garden of our hearts and pray
earnestly that those poisonous weeds
tale-bearing, Sabbath-breaking, envy
hatred and jealousy, which cause sucl
ruin to our otherwise beautiful gar
dcns, may be supplantcd by Heavens
own flowers, sympathy and love?

American Tract Society.

The friends of the Christian Rclig-
ion, as it is taught in the New Tesla
mcnt, were defeated at the late annu-
al meeting of the American Tract So
cicty in New York, and the side of
policy and slavery triumphed
1t Will be remembered that at the
last meeting of this society, a rcsolu-
ton was passed authorizing the pub
fishing committee to issue tracts on the
immoralitics consequent upon and
spriuging from slavery. The com
mittee refused to comply with the
resolution, and the subject was again
brought up at the late meeting in the
shape of cxcusng the committee for
the non-performance of the society's
order and abrograting the resolution
passed last year. An intensely cx-
citing and protractcd discussion en-
sued, which terminated by the adop-
ton of the cxcusing resolution, and,
consequently, i'll the defeat of the
friends of christian morality. The
professcdly gospclloving tract socic-
ty must hereafter, as heretofore, stu
diourly exclude from its publications
the mention of the subject of slavery,
which, in itself monster vice, sane
tons and establishes the hcnious sins
of fornication, polygamy, violation Of
the marriage tie, and almost every
other moral offence that is contrary to
christian teaching.
We do not believe in this kind of
religion. The doctrines of the New
Testament are simple and easily I'M
dcrstood, and any religious associa-
ton or individual, who, for policy
sake or any other consideration, c)um-
tcnances the violation of those doc
trincs by any portion of the human
race, is uniathiul to that cause which
Christ came into the world to cstab-
fish, and unfit to be teacher and cx-
emplar of mankind. The tract socic-
ty has been Il useful institution in its
day, but if such counscls as were
successful at its late meeting shall
continue to prvail, its usefulness may
be regarded as about numbered.
We would not turn the society into
an abolition agent but to merit the
respect and confidence of the friends
of true religion, it must not compro-
mise itself with anti-rcligious and i'm
moral influences, as it has done in this
case. Ii it is to enlightcn us on our
moral duties, it must not discriminate
in favor of any class, but be univer-
sal in its holy warfare against vice
and irrcligion.-Chieago Journai.
