Who are the Tariff MenP

The Abolition Republican party, who
are crying prOte'tion, no doubt as kind
of bid for Pennsylvania votes, in 1856
nominated John G. Fremont, Free Trade
man, for President.
In 1857, in Pennsylvania, they nomina-
ted David Wilmot, the only Free Trade
Congressman in the Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture, in lS46, for Governor.
In 1850, they nominated Hon. Hannibal
Hamliu of Maine, another Free Trader,
for Vice President and in the face of all
these realities they are, by their leading
journals, questioning the voracity of Mr.
Foster, who is using every effort in his
power, at Washington, for the advance.
ment of the interests Of Pennsylvania-the
protection of her mineral wealth and homo
industry position he has always been
known to take, and in defence of which he
is now laboring assiduonsly.

Curious Unconstitutional" Party,

" The Republican Party is the only real
Constitutional Party of the country
lGov. Morgans opening Address, Chicago
Convention
Let Us see moment how this is
The Constitution was framed" (sec
prcamblc) among other things, to 'insurc
domestic tranquility and a more perfect
union"
How do the Republicans propose to car
ry these purposes into effect.
Note, that the distinguished gentlemen
who opened the ball in the Chicago Con.
vention, by calling it to order is not only
an endorser of the Infamous Helper Book,
but an advertised contributor of 500, in
cash, to help circulate it. Tho cardinal
principles in that publication, thus endors-
ed are:
Z" No cooperation with Slave holders in
politics"
"No patronage to Slave holdidg Mcr-
chants"
No afiliation with them in Society"
" No fellowship with them in Religion" "
No guestship in Slave holding Hotels"
No audience to Slave holding Parsons"
No fees to Slave-holding LAWYERS"
mo employment for Slave holding
Physicians"
" No recognition of pro slavery men,
except as Rutfans, Outlaws, and Crimi-
nails.
Immediate death to Slavery; or if
not immediate, unqualified Prescription to
its Advocates during the period of its ex-
istcnce"
That is the way to ensure Domestic
Tranquility" That is the way to "Securc
more Perfect Union" Outlawing ana
thematizing fifteen Slave States, in this
way, "to promote the General Welfare"
and to demonstrate one loyalty to the Con-
stitution
Remember, the Helper Book has been
circulated as regular clectioneering docu.
ment for "the campaign" Hence there
was peucliar fitness in having one of the
most liberal contributors, in aid of the cir.
culatlon, call the Chicago Convention to,
order. But there was no peculiar fitness,
IN the proclamation from the Ch air, that
the Republican party, is n Constitutional
party nor anything like it-Nattonal
DJender.

The Tariff Bill Postponed.

On Thursday last the Tariff Bill was
up for consideration in the United States
Senate.
Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, moved the
postponement of its consideration till De-
cember next, stating that he believed that
the present tariff would yield revenue
enough for the wants of the Government.
Senator Bigler was against the postpone
ment and warmly urged the passage ofthe
bill as follows:-
He said he had no intention to make an
extended speech. The present condition
of the industrial interests demand change
in the revenue laws, and there existed a
real necessity for an increased revenue.
The Senator from Virginia had spoken of
what the expenses Of the Government
ought 10 be, but that was fallacious ba-
sis for calculation. Our expenses keep
pace with the increase of our revenue, and
the present tariff not affording sufficient
revenue, nor keeping up with the ratio of
the increase in the expenses, all experience
had shown that the expenses of the Gov
ernment could not be kept down to the
point indicated by the Senator from Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Bigler then went into a detailed
statement of the expenses of the Govern.
ment, showing their steady increase during
the last four years, and that under the
tariff of 1857 the revenues were going be
hindhand, and the deficiency constantly
increasing The estimates of the De.
partments more than exhaust the revenue
of the present year, and large sums have
