lfe-the staple commodities of coosumption-
which can thus come to the poor and all classes
without being appreciated by the exaction of du-
ties. The duties levied BY the new government
will be for the most part charged upon wares which
are not actually necessaries; which can be dispensed
with; which are superhuities or luxuries.

Passed February Is, 1861.
The New York Herald of Yesterday saws:
In consequence of the passage of this law the
mails from the South for the past three DAYS have
been teeming with orders to forward so as to
arrive within the Confederacy before the 4th of
March, for all goods which arrive after that date
VIII be subject to duties; therefore goods for New
Orleans are ordered via Savannah. The steamers
to depart to-day and tomorrow and the 1st of
March are the only which will arrive South
IN time to avoid paying the tariff, and, therefore,
the Southern people will feel at once the effect Of
the tariff in the advance of prices on Northern
manufactures. The merchant there who pays the
tariff of a dollar on hat or pair of boots will of
course charge his customer the excess.
