UNION OF THE 0ProsuIoN-We transfer to
our columns an article from the New York
7}ibsne Of the 9th inst, stating the terms on
which IL would be willing to have u union Of
the opposition to the sham democracy. /; Is
in response to the Louisville Journal We re-
publish il for the edihcation of those who are
particularly anxious for such q nnion. The
terms may suit some of them. They are al
most as generous as the proposition of the
white hunter 10 his Indian eomrade-" You
take the crow aud I'll take the turkey; or
III take the turkey and you take the crow"
The 7fllHne must come down from the high
horse il is riding, aud eyince more justice and
sound common sense, II IL would secure a pa
tionni party ca national, conservative
grounds.

THE FIRST CONGRESS,


under our present form of Government which
assembled at New York 1889. That Con
gress, next to the Convention which framed
the Constitution, was the most august body
that ever assembled in the United States. In
it, were some of the most distinguished mem
bers of the Convention, and others known for
their services in the Revolution
The first more important business which
occupied the attention of the House of Repre-
sentatives was the providing of a revenue by
imposing duties on imports-or in other
words, framing a revenue tariff"
For the purpose of immediate supply
to the Treasury, MADISON suggested the adop-
tion of a temporary system of imposts, and
with this view introduced resolution
enumerating certain articles as subjects for
specific duties, leaving the unenumerated to
be charged al Ullorem. FfrzsIMMoNs, the
representative from Philadelphia, who had
been a member of the Convention which
framed the Constitution, though it better to
agree at once on system adequate in some
degree to the then situation of the country,
as regarded agriculture, manufactures and
commerce. He proposed to increase MApI-
SONS list of articles upon which specific
duties were to be imposed, partly with view
to the imposition of ''sumptuary restrictions
but principally with the design .'to encourage
the productions of our country, and to protect
our infant manufactures" Accordingly, with
a view to domestic protection be proposed to
add as subjects for specific duties various other
articles.
MADISON did not object to FIrzsxNoxs'
additional list. ''Some of the propositions"
he said, might be productive of revenue"
and some might protect our domestic mnutac-
lures" Duties i" be said, 'may have an effect
which comes within the idea of national pru-
jence. The States most advanced in pOpu-
lation, and ripe for manufactures, ought 10
have their particular interests attended. TO, at
least in some degree"
These were the principles upon which the
irst tariff act was framed by the first Con-
Kress under the present Constitution. The
founders and fathers of the Republic who
constituted that Congress, in providing for
raising by duties on foreign imports GER
tain amount of revenue deemed 1t high
iuty on their part to assess those duties in
such u manner as would, while IL produced
the required revenue, at the same time en-
courage the productions OF our own country
and protect our infant manufactures. Their
ON stltutioaai power to do this, was never once
questioned or denied during the whole oil the
,rotracted discussion which took place on the
OCCASION! Upon the same principle. though
sauch more. widely extended, in consequence

THE PERM QUESTION.

We publish article to-day from the London
Times on this recently much-agtated and alarming
question When the Times article appeared in
London, it will be recollected the stock exchange
was thrown into a fearful commotioD, and only re-
covered its equilibrium when thoroughly braced up
on the Eastern or continental side by some old
moneychangers who feared stampede. Those
who read the Times' article will observe it's decIa
rations in regard to the indifferent manner in which
the Paris press is treated in England. 1t is some
times q week before curious student discovers
what is said just across the channel. The American
press, the other hand is more yigar, Transmitting
and laying before its readers, promptly, the arr-
val of its transatlantic steamer, all such informa-
tion is exciting interesting in politics, finance
or trade It is certainly remarkable fact that less
notice is taken of the Parsian press which is known
to be limited to the expression Of the views Of the
government than to the London press, which is
equally well known to be absolutely independent.
The article from the Times contains good deal
Of very suggestive matter for those who feel dis
posed to prophecy the future Of the Anglo-French
alliance Newspapers may not always reflect the
views Of the government, but they sometimes, new
