THE A-EJVS.

The tariff question has now fairly landed ia
the Congressional Committee OF Ways and Means
Hon. Henry N. PHILLIPS, of this State, is actVeiy
engaged in pushing forward bill for the revision
of the tariff The whole Democratic delegation
from. Pennsylvania, is unit IN favor OF amending
the low and inefficient tariff established by The Op-
postion Congress of 1857. Mr.. Phillips IS a Demo
cra and one of the candidates for Congress who was
last fall stricken down by the out-cry against MN
on the tariff question. Oar own member, MF'
REILLY is also active in his advocacy OF an increase
of duties SO as to bring a larger revenue INTO Inc
Treasury. The Black Republican members are re-
markably quiet on this subject. They are great
sticklers for tariff just before the election comes
o but when it becomes necessary to take action in
Congress- 90 that subject, they are non est i"re"-

IGNORANCE, OR WlLruL FALsEHoOD.

Ma JoRpAH, in hls article on the Goverh-
or's Message, takes occasion to say that that
functionary condemns the Dred Scott decision.
Mr.. Jordan either did not read the Governors
Message with both his eyes open, or else IS gull
ty Of a deliberate falsehood in making this state
ment. We quote the exact language OF the
Governor, concerning the Dred Scott case, as
given IN MR. JoRDAN's own paper, and il Is as
follows:
'sBut during the angry feelings which this
controversy has aroused, the theory has been
started aud insisted upon, that it will hence
forward be the duty Of Congress TO protect sla-
very in the territories ii the people of the terri
tories shall fail TO do so. The warrant for
this extraordinary assumption is alleged
to exist in the declsion of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, in the case of Dred
Scott. Entertaining, as | do, profound rever-
ence for the decisions of that august tribunal
and standing ready 10 obey them, whenever
they are enunciated, Ihaue get to be conV'nced
that any such construction can be fairiy g iUe0
fo their action in the case referred TO-"
The mental vision ofthe man who would say
that this is condemnation ofthe Dred Scott de-
cision, must be darkly obfuscated, indeed

PRAISE FROM THE ENEMY.

The late Message of Governor Packer is spo-
ken ofby many of thssO Opposition journals in
terms of the highest praise. 1t seems that
even the bitter enemies of the Democracy are
compelled to applaud the course of the Cover
nor. They not only approve his reference to
Kansas matters (which was 10 be expected, of
course,) but they also extol his views on State
affairS, (which was not to be expected by any
meansl. Thus we see that the same fellows
who but little more than year ago, denounced
Mr.. Packer ane took particular delight in dub
bing him General ''BAcKER," and in heaping
all sorts of insults upon him, because he was

him as public man these twenty years. We
venture 10 predict that should Governor Packer
ever again become the Democratic nominee for
any Office, they would very soon lose all recol-

A FLUTTERlNG AMONG THE BUZ.
ZARDS.

The fearless and efficient efforts of GEN. Bow
MAN, in endeavoring to check the impostures
which contractors for the Public Printing, and
Others, have been practcIng upon Congress, has
created quite sensation among The gentry who
have been thus engaged in Plunderlng the
Federal Government. We notice that they
have resortsd to anonymous attacks upon the
General, in the newspapers, evidently with the
intention of forcing him to resign his Office
They vii! find that they have ''waked up the
wrong passenger" for the General is not the
man to be inundated by anything they can
say, or do, in opposition TO his course. The
best plan these gentlemen can adopt, in their
present emergency, is to keep as quiet as posi-
ole, and to initiate the example Of General Bow
man, by making honesty their prime rule OF ac-
ton in all their future transactions with the
Government.

matter:
I'm InfOlerant .Hct.-The House of Assem-
bly, OF this State, in rendering an invitation 10
the various clergymrn OF Trenton to open the
sessions OF the Assembly with prayer, have re-
fused 10 iacnde the Catholic clergy in their in

the part Of the Assembly, which deserves and
should receive the unqualified repro5alion of the
people of all religious denominations. 1t is in
direct conflict with the spirit of our institutions
and, we may add, in contradiction of The very
letter Of III. Constitution, which provides that
there shall be no establishment of one religious
sect, ln preference TO another no religious test
shall be required as qualification for any Of
flee or public trust and no person shall be denl-

KANSAS AND THE PRESIDENT.

Our readers will remember that when the
ti-Lecompton' fever was at its height, and
when the President was reviled and stigmalized
as tyrant plotting to enslaVe the people OF
Kansas, we frequently expressed our conviction
that there was not the slightest foundation, or
justification, for the course pursued by the men
who thus reyiled and stigmatized him. We
assured our Democratic friends that time would
prove US correct in that conclusion, and now,
since the fog has lifted from the erewhis misty
politics Of Kansas, We learn with satisfaction

ritory, and they all agree in placing the whole
responsibility for ;he Lecompton troubles, upon
the shoulders ofthe Aboitionists who refused
TO vote for delegates TO the Constitutional Con-
vention. We copy an article on this subject
from one Of those papers, which will be found
in another column, and TO which we invite the
earnest attention ofthe people. The article is
headed ''THE Presidents MESSAGE IN KANSAS"
Read it and bear IN mind that the Kansas editor
says:
''lt is the merest DEMAGoGUEIsM AND A BASE
LIE, to assert that the President or Congress al
tempted to impose upon US Pro4Slavery Con-
stltutlon against our wishes, nasmuch as il was
known that our Legislature elected under that
Constitution was almost unanimously Free State,
and our right to change the Constitution imme-
diately after admission, was ably set forth by the
President, and his views endorsed by Demo
cratic Senate"
