FREE TRADE AS AN IssUE.-Mr. Boyce,

FREE TRADE AS AN lssUE.-Mr. Boyce,
of South Carolina, chairman Of select
committee of Congress, appointed to en-
auire into the operation Of our tariff sys
tenn and navigation laws, has made a
most ultra free trade report, in which
the repeal Of the laws for the protection
of American shipping and American pro
duction, is boldly and Internationally
advocated. The report assumes the
sweeping propositions, that american
vessels shall not be--as now--required
to have certain portion OF their crews,
Americans. That American citizens
shall be at liberty to sail foreign vessels
on perfect equality with American YES
sells. And that foreign vessels shall be
admitted to the enjoyment of our coast
ing trade and interior navigation. Ere
The report proposes finally to adopt
system Of direct taxation, for the support
Of Government, and the ultimate aban.
donment ofCustom Houses and duties.
But till the circumstances OF the
country, and the habits OF the Peo-
pie will warrant the adoption oil
that system, Mr.. Boyce proposes total
abandonment OF the protective policy IN
every particular. He insists that the
lowest rates Of duties shall be levied
upon articles of prime necessity, such as
cottons, woIlens. iron and sugar, and the
highest upon luxuries. such as silks. The
free list to be restricted to such articles
as do not pay the cost of collecting the
duties on them, and to the raw materials
Of manufacture.
Under system Of direct taxation, the
report thinks the expenses OF the gov
eminent would be reduced one-half. i
repeats the arguments Of Mr.. Calhoun OF
this subject, and adopts his most unprac
ticable theories. The authors OF the re
port do not look to immediate practica
results, but they proclaim their views a
future, means to stand. II is put FORT
as manifesto Of war upon Northern in
dustry. It's threat of aggression j
retaliation for the assaults of the Mort
on Southern interests. The embers {
the controversy on slavery are about e1
piripg, and these new destructive doc
trines are row pro'essed, and will b
hereafter maintained--in order to reyiv
the sectional contest and keep aliv
Northern and Southern agitation. III
repeal of the fishing bounties was tn
first step in the assault upon the nav
CATION interests Of the country, and II

another more deadly blow. In thes

"on two occasions lately, Mr.. English. of
Indiana, has been placed by Speaker Orr in
the chair when the House resolved itself INTO
Committee of the Whole. Under the cir
eumstances, 1t was deemed by many as an
Intentional insult, and at one time it was
designed to resent il by refusing to transac
business under him. Wiser counsels pre-
vailed, however. Such a course would have
gwen to him far more importance than he
deserves nv

~ The Judiciary Committee Of the
Senate, held meeting last week to de-
termine what their report should be in
the case Of Bright and Fitch. It was
understood after the meeting that the
majority report will be in favor of con-
firmius the bogii in their seats; and this
report will be, it is thought, adopted by
the Senate. But this will not settle the
matter. The people of this state will
never submit to the imposition; and the
next Legislature will elect two constitu.
tional Senator's, who Will persist in their
rights till they are heard and answered.

the right to deposit their warrants or money
with the Commissioner, ana that it is within
the rules of that officer to order the laiid to

all who were engaged in dong business at

CoURT or SEssIoSs-ExPEDIrroS oF BrsNEss.
During the last ten days tho City Judge aud
Recorder between them have tried upwards Of
one hundred and fifty cases, cleaned out all the
prisons, and disposed of oil the prisoners. This
celebrity and promptitude are unexampled in
the criminal annals of this city, and present a
favorable contrast TO the mode Of despatchng
business in this court in former years. II holds
out an example which the civil courts might
initiate with honor to themselves and advantage
TO the public. We have now only one principal
criminal court--the Court Of Scssions--per-
forming iis duties as they ought 10 be done,
whilst we have a dozen civil courts in which
procrastination and delay are the invariable
rules Of proceeding. The example will we
hope, have the effect OF stimulating the slug
gish energies Of our civil Judges.
