views the action of the seeded States severaly

France and our New Tariff.
From the Paris Nonteur--the official organ of the Fren
Government-of Feb. 25.

from the Paris MoneuIthe Official organ OF the French
Government--Of Feb. 2S.
Among the items OF news which come from
the United States, is one that does not directly
concern the domestic crisis but is no less worthy
OF attention, forit has an international be ring
which will escape no ones attention. The rep
resentItives OF the Northern Safes, taking add
vantage OF the fbsence of the Southern members,
have been in grelt haste to vote new custom
house tariff Now then, the North, which is de
SirOuS of protecting its manufactures, is very I'M
faithful 10 lie of liberty when it has to do tariffs,
and does not keep in view the interests of the
South country essentially agricultural and
very much in favor OF free trade.
The tariff heretofore in force was very prOtec-
tive, since it imposed on foreign merchandise ad
ral0rem duties, varying from nineteen to thirty
per cent The new tariff increases all the tIxes,
either directly or by combinations, which subSti-
tute Il specific for al calorem duties. This retro
grade reform has been very badly received in
England, and will be no better liked in France;
for our silks, which used to pay nineteen PER
cent, will pay tax varying from twenty to
thirty per cent and our wines taxed at thirty Der
cent, will be assessed at thirty three per cent.
fla reconciliation should be effected in the
United States, which does not vet appear to he
beyond hope. it is proper to surmise that the
abolition Of this tariff win be one of the cOmpro-
mise clauses obtained by the South. Iii the
Union be not re established, the programme of
free trade proclaimed by the South will open to
trade and agriculture road to fruitful inter
course ard large returns

The same. Only aLi,,le More So.

The Detroit Free Press says Mr.. LINCOLN is
trelting the Southern troubles the same as Mr.
BucHASAS treated them, only little more so.
For example, when Commissioners appeared
in Washington from South Carolina and demand
ed an audience Of President BUCHANAN, he
promptly refused to receive them. He was will
ling they should call upon him as distinguished cit
liens Of the State from which they came, but in
no other capacity. Commissioners - from the
Confederate States, now in Washington, have
sent their credentials 10 President LINCOLN, and
he and his Cabinet are celebrating whether these
Commissioners shall be received or not Again,
President BUCHANAN, so far is known. while
determined to avoid, if possible, any collision
with the seeded States, entertained no purpose
of surrendering Southern forts which were in the
actual possession of Federal troops President
LINCOLN has actually determined upon the sur
render of Fort Sumter, and il is believed the
surrender of other forts in the seeded States
will follow
We do not complain Of this action Of President
LINCOLN We applaud il, rather We only
compare it with the action of the former Admin
istration 10 show UP, as il deserves to be showr
up, the course of the Republican press hitherto OF
this whole question. We might, were we so dis
posed, tauntingly ask that press, Haze pe Goo

But this press tells Us that President LINCOLN

out Of President BUcHASASis failure to reinforc,

comparative ease. They call this alleged ne
cessity ga legacy from the imbecile BucHASA,
Administration. Undoubtedly the fort nigh
formerly have been reinforced with more cas-
than it can be now. But had President BucHAS
AN reinforced it. and thus brought on civil war
as ne would have done BY the movement, woul
not the Republican press have called this ga leg
acy of the BUCHANAN Administration
But was it President BUcHASAss failure to re
inforce that has created the present alleged ne
cessity? We say no. That necessity has arise
out of the failure of Congress-both houses O
which were Republican after the withdrawal o
the members from the seeded States-to Civ

That is the door which the fault Of the failur
lies, if there be any such fault-the door of tn
Republican Congress. Mr.. LINCOLN can not hol
this fort nor any other Southern fort, because tn
Republican Congress did not furnish him tn
means with which to hold IL. Sins enough lie q
Mr.. BUcHASAx's door-let none be cast ther
which do not belong there.
If, however, Congress had given Presider

1t is reported at Washington that the President
has determined TO call an extra session of Con-
gress-. The financial embarrassmeuts of the Gov
eminent and the difficulty which viii be expert
encsd in collecting revenue under the Morrill,
tariff bill, probably makes this step on the part
Of the Administration almost imperative Many
oftIe States have not, however, yet elected their
Representatives and will not until August, unless
the Legislatures in those States should meet and
provide for elrler elections. This fact may de-
lay the calling of the extra session until Septem-
Der, unless the exigencies the Government will
not permit that procrastination

Mr.. SEwARD has received and replied to the
communications of the Representatives of the
Southern COnfederacy. What will the irrepress-
ible Republicans say to thisf Mr. BUCHANAN re-
fused similar overtures, yet he was denounced by
the Republicans a traitor for not crushing out
the rebellion" when he had no authority to do
So Buta change has come over their philosophy.
What was wrong in Mr. BUCHANAN will be right
in Messrs. SEWARD and LINCOLN. Treating with
the ''rebels" by Republican Administration will
be pronounced by these selfsame Republicans, as
the highest evidence of wisdom and statesman
ship Is il possible that the country will be
longer deceived by the arrant hypocrisy and dis
honesty Of the Republican leaders?

The dispatches of the Cincinnati Gazette con-
tain the following items:
THE CoNFEDIRATE COMMISSIONERS.
The Confederate Commissioners to this Gov
ernment have determined to remain here some
time. They are about establishing themselves in
permanent quarters They have taken fur
nished house and are locally, at least, Ministers
Resident.
OPINION IN ALABAMA.
Hon. Williamson Cobb, a conservative mem
Der of the late Congress from Alabama. is in
Washington He represents the new Govern
ment u fixed Institution, and says that no idea
of reconstruction. in any event, is entertained.
Though he opposed secession originally. he now
indorses the shape which il has assumed in the
Confederate States.
The dispatches to the Commercial say:
THE SOUTHERN EMBASSY.
The agreement between Seward and the South
ern Commissioners WAS made by their respective
Secretaries. and much pains was taken not to i'm
part to that proceeding an, official character, in
order not to imply recognition OF the revo!u-
tionary embassy.
THE CORwiN FAMILY.
Bob COrwin expects to be oOnsole1 for the loss
of the Marshalship by Chief Justiceship in some
Western territory, but the President is unwilling
TO take care OF AL the members of the Corwin
family.
FEW OFFICE SEEKERS FROM TIE SOUTH.
There is still IA great scarcity OF suitable appi
cants for office in the border slave States and the
probability now is that most Of the present in
cumbents will be continued.

WHAT DO THE FREEDOM SHRIEKERs WANT
In l7S6 there were thirteen States in this Union,
twelve of which were slave and one free In
1861 there are thirty-four States and seven terri
tories; nineteen of these States and six OF the
territories are free, and two other States which
now recognise slavery-Delaware and Maryland
will undoubtedly soon be free States also. In
five years from now the six territories will be
ready to come into the Union-if there be any
Union then-as States under free labor constitu-
tons, and we shall then have twenty-seven free
States to thirteen slave States. Yet the freedom
shrekers are not satisfied with this rapid progress
and growth of free territory. They are not con-
tent with anything short of the destruction of this
glorious country for the sake of getting hold OF
spoils, over which they are now engaged in such
a fierce squabbe at Washington.
