Egy~ MARRIAGE LICENSES By reference
to the books in the County Clerks office
we observe that since the war commenced,
the application for marriage licences have
been exceedingly few and remarkably far
between Many OF the marriages, we sup
pose, which ought to have taken place dur
ing the last three or four months, have
been postponed on account of the absence
of the principal parties who have taken the
field in the defeuse of their county
Another remarkable fact is the great de-
spnrty in the ages of the few who have
preferred matrimony to war. On Satur-
day last, for instance, one couple was
united, both OF whom are near forty, and
another couple scarcely out of their teens

The following extract from late speech Of
Senator DOUGLAS places in q pretty strong light
the difficulties that lie in the way of Of prop.
er adjustment Of tariff on imports:
A tariff involves two conflicting principles,
which are eternally at war with each other -
Every tariff involves the principles OF protec-
ton and of oppression, the principles Of benefits
and of burdens. Every duty leVied upon the
importation Of foreign article which comes In
competition with our home production is pro-
lection to that extent. Every duty levied upon
raw material which we do not manufacture
here is tax upon the manufacturer Of that
article here. Thus you find that BY protecting
one interest perhaps you viii oppose another
For instance, If ] am engaged in the manufac'
ture Of pig iron, want duty that will protect
my interest. You give II to me, and then q
man engaged in another branch of the iron
business comes and says that the pig Iron
manufacture is his raw material, and BY protect.
ing me and my manufacture Of this article you
put tar On his raw material, to his injury. he
has been injured 10 the same extent that have
been benefited; and then he wants protection on
another point, to make up for the loss cn
the raw material. Thus, when you attempt 10
discriminate for the purpose Of beneiting one
you are striking blow at another. The great
difficulty is 30 70 adjust these conflicting princi-
piles Of benefits and burdens as TO make one com.
pensate for the other In the end, and give equal
benefits and equal burdens 70 every class Of the
community.

nal view crly. He adgocatsd the doctrine Of
popular sovereignty as the true democratic ne.
Oryi and supported warmly the compromises OF
1850. He referred TO the Charleston Conxsn-
tion, where the Calhoun men, by pressing their
doctrines, had broken up the Democratic party,
and left the Republicans to take the control OF
the country. The friends OF popular sovereign.
lty had appealed to the Republicans 70 desist In
pressing the election of Lincoln; but they would
hear 20 nothing and now We have crisis upon
us. The Republicans, like the quack doctor,
would persist In throwing the country into
fits. Now we are in fits; and the Republican
doctors do not propose TO do anything, unless TO
give thei patient guppowder. Hereviewed the
general state of parties, and contended that the
doctrine Of popular sovereignty honestly applied
would be the proper cure.
Mr.. HILLS replied to Mr.. f., and quoted the
opinion of the Charleston Mercury Of the Doug
las wing Of the party, that their platform was 80
framed as to allow them to lie ad Hbitun; and
he thought the course they pursued In the CAM

Aside from lie obscaslties and complications,
there are two serieus objections to the Morrill,
Tariff Bill, which has passed the Senate and
uili probably pass the House. @
In the hrst plsce, there Ia no certainty that
Il will increase the revenue, which is put forth
as the ostensible ground for review Of the
tariff On the contrary 10 Is the opinion Of
psacticai men that twill have the opposite Of
feet By diminishing Importations. ssa
In the second place, the passage of this bill
will be most inorportune at the present time, as
Il will serve to complicate the difficulties that
lie in the way of settlement of our sectional
disputes, In the case Of civil war, II will
place no additional means In the hands Of the
Government; but will, instead, tend to cripple
its operations and induce foreign nations to
enter Into commercial treaties with the seeded
States Bat. without looking at the subject in
this aspect, 1t s sufficient reason 20 oppose The
proposed change in our revenue system, that !
will throw additional obstacles In the way OF 9
peaceable adjustment. of our great national con
troversy, and furnish secessionists with new ar
guments In favor Of permanent Withdrawal
from the existing Union.
