Whether such discrimination is proper and right is
= nuestIon of crave consideration. Whether it re-
suits to the real interests of the interested parties or
to the country at large both either, are qucs-
tons of doubtful solution, which we cannot now at
tempt to demonstrate.
To return to our task; whatever has been the
policy of Government in levying duties on foreign
merchandise, we can find rule to govern it but
uniform rate of duty Whatever departure from
this rule has obtained is wholly gratuituous, and
merely policy; but it is policy which has been
Welded to in consequence of pertlnacious special
Heading We maintain that Congress cannot en-
act laws which may work to the injury OF one class
to benefit another class of the community; and this
is ALWAYS the case when determinations arc made
single illustration will suffice to clucldate this
position:
Farmer Ploughshare has ten barrels of -four
worth $50. which lie wishes to exchange for thirty
wards of broadcloth. John Bull offers to give him
thirty yards of broadcloth, pay freight and expen-
scs from Manchester to any port Ill the United
States and also give to the [. States SD towards
the support of the Government. Brother iona
than offers him thirty yards of broadcloth OF equal
quality "Wcll," says the farmer, "BrOther Jona-
than, it would seem to be my duty to trade with
you but if | trade with you the government cam
not be supported If trade with John Bull, he
will pay the duty--Sl5-to support Government
fl trade with YOU, Brother Jonathan, | will have
to pay Government SIS, which they will levy upon
me, unless they get it from Bull, for you are not
able to pay it, Brother Jonathan as you can scarce
make the trade any how with any profit so you
tell me. So, Brother Jonathan, you see, although
am poddling farmer, have got wit enough to
know that to trade with you would indirectly, but
most surely, loose SIS. Now, if you will pay my
direct tax of SIS, then you will be on equal terms
with John Bull, and my love for you, Brother
Jonathan WOuII iuUucC me a trade with VOu but
my love and SIS too, is rather hard bargain,
brother"
Such is the working of the principle of taxation
for the purpose of protecting domestic industry, as
it is simply robbng Peter, by law, to pay Paul as
the old adage says, and this was never contem-
plated or intended by the wise trainers Of our wise
Constitution \ MANUFACTURER.

An Indian chief in Carson Valley, says a cores

fortunate cmgrants with murderous design, from
the time they left their protected and peaceful
homes. One beautiful night these em1grants had
campcd near the foot of range of mountains, and
had turned their cattle out to Craze. Little did
they dream of trouble, or that danger was near at
hand; but it The Camanchcs sur
rounded them on all sides so that there was no
chance whatever for their escape. The conflict
was soon decided. The men, Numbering 25,)
were all brutally murdered and scalped, together
with several of the women. The remainder were
made captives and carried off to other tribes and
bartered for horses provisions, &c. Whongmawker

A CAUTION TO YOUNG MEN.

youne medical student from Michigan, who
had been attending lectures in New York for some
time, and considered himself exceedingly good
looking and facinating, made deadly onset on the
heart and fortune of blooming young lady who
was boardin" in the same house with him. After
prolonged siege the lady surrendered They
were married Wednesday morning. The same
afternoon the ''young wife, sent for and exhibited
to the astonished student beautiful little daugh-
ter" three and half years of age
..(ood Heavens. then you were widow" ex-
claimed the astonished student.
Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia, my youngest;
tomorrow, Augustus james and Reuben will ar
rive from the country, and then shall have all my
children together once more" .--..-..,.
The unhappy student replied not word; his
feelings were too deep for utterance. The next
day the '.other darlings" arrived. Reuben was
six years old, James nine, ana Augustus saucy
boy of twelve They were delg hted to hear they
had a 'ncw papa, because they could now live at
home and have all the playthngs they wanted :!
The "new papa" as he could speak, re-
marked that Augustus and James did not much
resemble Reuben and Amelia.
"Well, no." said the happy mother, "my hrst
husband Was quite different style of man from
my sccond-complexion, temperament, color OF
hair and cyes-a different"
This was too much. He had not only married
widow, but was her third husband, and the as
founded step-father of four children.
"But her fortune thought he, ''that will make
amends" He spoke of her fortune.
These are my treasures" says she, In the
Roman matron STYLE pointing to her children.
The conceit was now quite taken out Of the
Michigander, who, finding that he had made a
complete goose of himself, at retired to farm
in his native State, where he could have chance
to render his 'boys" useful, and make them sweat
for the deceit practced upon him by their mother.

MEETING y Observation-Disclosures LEIGHTON
returning home one morning, Was asked by his Sis
ter, "llave you been hearing sermon % II have
met a Sermon was the answer The sermon he
had met WAS corpse on its way to the grave; the
preacher was Death. Greatest of street preachers.
No laws nor penalties can silence him. No tramp
Of horses, rattling of carriages, nor rush and
din OF crowded streets, drown his voice. In
heather, papal and protestant countries, in mon
arches and free states, in towns and countries, the
solemn pOmp Of his discourse is ever going on.
In some countries man is imprisoned for even
dropping tract. But what prison will hold this
awful preacher? What chains will bind him? He
lifts up his voice in the very presence of tyrants
and laughs at their threats He walks unobstructcd
through the midst of their guards and delivers those
messages which trouble their security and embitter
their pleasures. If We do not meet his sermons
still we cannot escape them. He comes to our
a5odes, and taking the dearest objects of our love
his text, what terrible sermons does he deliver to
Us. . what weeping audiences sometimes has this
silent preacher! Yet there is secret doctrine an
occult meaning, running through his discourses,
which is not often apprchended. Few clay it to
heart His Oft-repeated sermons still enforce the
same doctrine, press upon US the same exhortaton.
"Surey every man walketh in a vain show Sure.
" .hey disqu;cted in vain. Here there is no
continuing city. Why arc you laboring for that [
will presently take from you and give to another

ROYAL DOMESTIC D1FFlCULTIEs.-Some body
said-who was it? One who knew we suppose
that men are April when they WOO, December
when they wed. The same somebody also informs
us, that, maids arc May while single, but the sky
changes when they become wives Now we neither
admit nor deny these assertions but may be allow
cd to think, that, there is perhaps, much truth
poetry contained in them. For definite and
conclusive answer, We refer readers to Queen
Nictoria's daughter, who not many moons since,
married the Prince Of Prussia. Rumor with her
thousand tongues" says that this royal couple are
at skies and sevens, and it is also stated that they
have actually quarrelled, and on occasion the
royal lady placed both of her little royal feet,
against his royal highness' ribs, and suddenly cx-
tended her royal curved organs into positive bee
line position. The consequence was that his
royal highness found himself, not in bed but upon
the floor. So says the Boston Post. Now, this
may or may not be so, but like the Prussian engin-
GERS inclined to doubt it, The Princes
royal father, We believe, was somewhat of a Turk,
IN this respect, amusing himself day by beat
ing his wife, and the next, by suspendng his
daughter between heaven and earth by the hair
