THE MoRML TARHF.-Thc n. Y. Times
(Republican) in an article entitled, Break
erSlAhead," thus speaks of the Tariff Act,
passed at the recent session of Congress
"The tariff is highly unpopular in the
Border States The one just enacted is
the strongest argument yet addressed to
them to go with the seeding ones, and is
telling with great effect No matter how
absurd may be the statements and argu-
ments used, they none the less effect what
we would avoid. We do not at the present
moment wish to give an opportunity to
draw an il-natured picture of the Northern
capitalists seeking by legislation to add to
his gains, by increasing the cost Of every
thing the poor man uses. No step could
have been taken so well calculated to alien
ate the Border States, at the very moment
it has been our policy TO conciliate them.
The Seeding States have US at equal
disadvantage in foreign courts The ma
tions of Europe with whom we have most
intimate commercial relations are earnest
advocates of free trade. Yet at the very
moment that we most desire their sympathy
and cooperation, we Insult their convic-
tious aud strike the severest blow in our
power at their interest The Seeding
States Will take instant advantage of our
bluuders and will make every effort 10 Sc
cure their good viii, IF not an actual recog-
milton, by adopting a commercial policy in
harmony with their own 1t was for this
purpose, undoubtedly, that the new tariff
was postponed, to await the report of the
Commissioners sent abroad.
AT home and abroad, we are already
feeling the effects of our gratuitous folly.
Both English and French journals are
teeming with illnatHred and unfavorable
remarks; with contrasts either openly stated
or implied. in favor Of the Seeding States.
What compensation have we for all these
sacrifices ! None whatever; or at least, no
one.

about two years ago, was appointed Brit
ish Consul at Spezzia, with salary Of
about $4,000. The duties Of his Office be

B4rThe nomination Of Elisha o. Cros-
by, to be Minister Resident at Guatemala,
was confirmed yesterday, after lying over
several days at the request Of Senator
Baker. When it came up for action yes
terday IN secret session, Mr.. Baker opposed
it in a very decided speech; without, how
ever, making any special points Of attack
upon the nominees personal character
The Senator intimated that Mr.. Crosby was
not an out-and-out republican, which led to
humorous debate, in which Senator Nes-
NTH, Of Oregon, took part, making brief,
homespun, unpretending speech, which set
the Senate in o roar, and put the speaker
at once in excellent relations with the body.
It was evident that under cover Of his fnn
and hnmor, Nesmiih was sticking sundry
sharp pins into his colleagues cutiele, aceu-
sing him Of assuming 10 dictate the whole
patronage Of the Paciic Coast California

much Of show himself, IN this connection,
but when ''0ld AbeD had nominated a man
who was suspected of being half demo
crat, be really thought be (Nesmith) ought
TO be permitted to have something to say
in tho matter. His colleague Bakery took
pretty good care that Nesmith's friends
should not get anything il be could help It;
and when, by accident, half-democrat bad
slipped in, it was too bad for his colleague
to try to cheat him out Of that also. The
scene must have been rich one; and it is
a pity that the roles Of the Senate do moi
admit Of q full report Of it. The fact is
that'there is an evidently increasing cool
ness between the Senators from Oregon
The Colonel is so pressed by his own friend.
for appointments, that be ends himself com.
PEELED to turn bis back on Nesmith & Co.,
and appropriate the "swag7 entirely to bis
own army, or course, Nesmilh will moi
talk Of these matters openly, but some Of
his deluded friends have no scruples on the
subject, and curse Baker at a terrific rate
There is storm brewing, evidently.

From the Puget Sound Herald, oil May 2d.
The CaDital Again.

"Gov. McGIl has addressed letter to
the Capitol Commissioners, stating that he
has not received the plans and specifca-
tons for the erection Of the Capitol build
ings, but will furnish them MS soon as re-
ceived. He assured the Board that he will
aid them to the extent Of his ability in the
discharge of their duties"
by the above paragraph, which we take
from the ChrOnicie of the 18th ult, it will
be seen that the people of Vancouver are
eager to get hold Of the money appropr-
ated by Congress for the erection of the
Capitol, and their eagerness is but natural
The amount already appropriated, with
such additional sums as are looked for TO
complete the structure, would be nice wind
fall, and VIC do not blame them, nor would
we blame the people of any town in the
Territory, for desiring to have it expended
in their midst; but we must here enter our
solemn protest against the squandering Of
this money, without attaining the object
for which it is designed. We have good
reason to believe that the leading parties
in the scheme concoeted by the last Legis-
lalure for the removal of the Capital, never
for a moment contemplated its permanent
location at Vancouver well knowing, as
they could not fail to know, that such re-
moYal was neither in accordance with the
wishes Of their constituents, nor with right
and Justice as they relate to such matters
as seats of government. Let this question
be made the issue at the ensuing election,
in this and other counties on the Sound,
and we have no hesitation in saying that
the candidates pledged to removal will be
Overwhelmingly defeated.
The superior claims Of the Sound to the
Capital have been fully and ably set forth
by our cotemporaries, aud it would there
fore be superhuous on our part to attempt to
strengthen the grounds taken by them
against the removal to the Columbia river
We are still of the opinion, however, that
the act passed by the last Legislature, for
the removal Of the Capital, is not valid I;
lacking, as it does, the vital feature Of a
law. Judge Strong has placed it in as ia
vorable q light as possible, and yet he has
failed to convince us Of its validity. His
most tenable position is the fact that there
is another act in our statutes in precisely
lhs- como -el.~Pv 90 tlniur 0~Pitol AOt, with
out snaetiag clause or date--tbe validity
Of which has never been questioned. From
this be argues that the Capital Act must
be perfect-must be valid. With as much
reason and sense he might insist that two
wrongs make a right; or that two tnualid
acts should govern two hundred valid stat
utes Of the same Commonwealth This
line Of argument docs carry conviction to-
sane minds. 'H4 aigv-
