The ADvANTAGBoCs POSITION or THE NORTH
wnr-The complications OF the country,
which the republican vote of the Northwestern
States did 80 much to bring about, are likely
to inure very much to the benefit Of that SEQ
ton, whatever other portions of the country
are destined to suffer from them The effect
of the Northern and Southern tariffs must in
evitably be to throw open three markets to
the Northwest for the purchase of such neces-
saries or luxuries of foreign manufacture as
the people there may require, and they will,
of course, avail themselves of the cheapest
market.
First, the operation Of the tariff adopted by
the Southern confederacy will admit foreign
merchandise ct very moderate duty into the
entire Northwestern section, by the Mississippi
river and the Western railroads; and, second
ly, it happens that the very articles most ne.
cessary to the people of the West are precisely
those upon which the new Northern tariff i'm
poses heavy and almost prohibitory duty, such
as manufactures of cotton and wool, and manu-
featured iron and steel-the former being
absolutely essential for clothing, and the latter
indispensable to agricultural purposes, build.
ing, the operation of sawmills, and other OBJ
jects by which the great West is erecting itself
into great empire. The third market can be
found in the Importation of British manufao-
tured goods-the cottons of Manchester, the
woollen goods of Leeds, the hardware of Bir-
mingham and Shefdeld-into the British pro-
vinces, from whose ports they can be transfer
red directly to the Western States by the great
Trunk Railroad of Canada.
No one supposes that, with these facilities
to buy cheap elsewhere, the Northwest will
seek a market in the Northern Atlantic cities,
where high protective tariff will, after the LIST
of April, almost exclude the articles most
necessary to its existence, or that its sagacious
and frugal population will purchase the cotton
goods of New England and the iron manufac-
lures of Pennsylvania out Of pure pa
triotism or loyalty to the government at
Washington, if they can get the same
articles of foreign manufacture cheaper
either in the South or in the British provinces.
And there is another point to be considered.
The operation of the Morrill, tariff will put stop
to importations in Northern cities, and transfer
them to the Southern ports, SO that certain
goods of foreign product cannot be had here
at all after the present stocks are exhausted.
Thus the Northwest is certain to profit by the
division of the country; and it may be before
long that it will find itself so Independent of
the Eastern States and the Atlantic States of
the North-having two other and better mar
kets to buy in as well as an outlet for its agri-
cultural products to foreign ports through the
ST. Lawrence and the Canada railway-as to
suggest the advantage of cutting off from the
Northern confederacy altogether, and setting
up new government for itself. Such are
few of the prospective effects Of the success OBJ
tanned by the abolition republican party in the
election of Abraham Lincoln.

RUSSIAN WIFR.SHow.-The wife show is now
lhe last lingering relic of what was once a pop
uar national custom. Here the sous and
daughters of tradesmen were wont to assemble
to select their partners for life. The girls would
come decked out 10 all the ornamenta the family
could raise, and sometimes carrying in their
hands bunch of silver ten spoons, or playing
gracefully with large silver ladle as if il were
ian; while the young men, also appearing to
the best advantage, would stroll by them and,
on seeing any young lady who pariicu arly struck
their fancy, would politely inquire about her
dover from the parents, who invariably accom-
panied the blushng damsels The custom 10
fan exists to the present day, that, had been
mairimonialy disposed, might have selected n
wife without even the trouble of advertising, to
say nothing Of saving the time which the more
conventional customs of my native land deem
requisite for courtship.

GEN Wool AND TIE WAR.-It is stated posi-
lively that Gen. Wool has Leen assigned the
command At Fortress Monroe. As the veteran
General will, in this event, have great influence
upon the future war movements, II may be in
tcrcsiiug to know his policy in relation thereto.
1t is believed to be General Woods policy to
make the War aggressive. lie deems it wise to
keep the enemy in suspense. TO do so, he would
make such demonstrations upon the coasts OF
North Carolina, Floridt, Louisiana &c, as would
make it necessary for the Rebel States TO keep
their armies at home instead of sending them to
menance Washington. If this il his policy, we
hope he may impress it upon those with whom
he is to be soon IN council.
