Tho TariH...AFr. Boyce.

An intelligent writer communicates long letter
from Washington to the Charleston Courier. We
make from it the following extract:
I,isnow understood that the subject of the tariff
is to undergo revision, and that it will receive
the attention of Congress ut an early period OF
the next session. Cochrane's bill and Mr.. Boyces
report on the tariff, have not yet been acted upon
Whether the President in his opening message to
Congress. or the distinguished fnancier at the
head of the Treasury Department, in his report,
will think it proper to submit their views and
make apy particular recommendation on the sub.
iect. is not known, though, considering the I'M
portance Of the subject, and the disposition Of
the opponents of the Administration, to draw it into
controversy, Think it not improbable.
In the meantime, the broad-thoughted, liberal
and statesman like report of Mr.. Boyce, submit
ted nv him to the House of Representatives to-
wards the close of the late session, we'll deserves
the closest examination and reflection. II is
creditable to the ability and patriotism Of its au-
thor. Wherever it has been read with the atten-
ton due to it merits its has ELECTED the lively ad
miration of our soundest political economists
mingled with not little surprise at the strong
and startling array upon which its statements are
predicated. The government may not be prepared
at once to adopt, in eztenso, the recommendations
Importance and practical wisdom by which they
are pervaded Inthis connection, it may not be un-
interesting to cite the comments upon his report,
of distinguished citizen of Massachusetts,, the
Hon. Samuel Dexter Bradford, gentleman well
known to the American public by his writings,
particulary those on frcetrads, and whose eminent
bearing, rare political experience, great wealth
and extensive acquaintance and correspondence
with the distinguished scholars and statesmen of
our own and foreign countries, tntitle any opin-
ions he may express, on this or any other subject,
to the highest consideration. They are contained
in letter addressed to friend who sent him q
copy Of Mr.. Boyee's report, which was commun-
Gated to the writer for the purpose Of publication,
and which is Of the following tenor:

production and hope it may have wide circula

dent servant. ). ID. BhADfOHb.Ss
Such man as Samuel Dexter Bradford is we'll
qualified, Messrs. Editors, to pass q judgment up
on the able report of Mr. Boyce and his opinion de-
serves additional value and interest from the fact
that it emanates from n citizen from old Massa-
chusetts, whose very different views on the SUBJ
iect of the tariff have, in times past, been pro.
mulpated and maintained with the exclusiveness
that pertains to sectional interests and the bitter
ness that belongs to asperity.
