MEREIAL UNION.

Our analysis of the Anglo-French tariff, and
comparison of ito rates with those Of our own
tariff of March last, which We recently pub.
li.hed, was made TO meet the perpetual cry Of
free trade progressiveness among the leading
commercial natioos of Europe. The Golden
treaty ha. been made to do 50 much duty as
demonstration Of free-trade principles, that we
thought the labor involved in the reduction Of
French weights, measures, and money of ac-
count into their equivalents IN the Morrill, tariff
worth encountering for the purpose Of clearly
Exposing the Misrepresentation currently cir
culated concerning both these tariffs in Eng land
and the United States. We showed, we think,
conclusiyely that the protection Of French pro-
ductye industry rules in every provision OF their
new tariff, even 10 the exclusion OF all regard
for the value of the imports from the United
Kingdom, aud Ike disregard of the revenue
which they might be made to yield; and this tariff,
amples Of protective principles, pure and simple,
in all the records Of commercial legislation.
We propose How 70 exhibit the provisions Of
the German commercial system, commonly called
the ZoIlyeren, for the purpose of showing how
far the Kingdoms aud States which it comprises
carry the like principles into practice in the reg
u'alon of their foreign trade. The ZOllyerein IL

We have issued 10 tract Of twenty-Vur pages INC
late Union speech of Andrew johnson OF tennessee
delivered In the Senate Of the United States on July
81, 1861. .,
In this speech Mr. johnson shows himself pra0ucS
man, relying more upon facrs than upon arguments,
He goes by the record, and Shove by chapter ana
verse By article and line, that the allegation OF lne
Secessonists and their Northern friends Of sne ch'
xnond and Csgger school, of any Northern seclion-
Alsm," of any design infringe upon Southern Con-
stitutional rights is utterly and abSudy false. 30 lar
from this being true, be shows by documentary evil
depce that the grievance of the South is the existence
of Republican Government; that they DO not mean
to tolerate any Government not in sueetion to that
ineres, which fnds It's model In South Carolina where
a man must have fee simple in ten Of bis fellow
creatures before be is qualified to be legislator The
tmes have brought clearer aud no Lore phiosopb-
cal statement Of the whole than this speech OF
the Senator from Tennessee. Its closing appeal for
protection to the loyal Of his own State, whom
be 90 nobly represents should find an answer In the
heart of every man who loves his country.
This Tract should be largely circulated among Dem
ocrats who have been deceived by Secession newsps-
pers, aud all can read it with profit.

the belief that, during the continuance oil 'ne
War for the Union, tho daily receipt Of news
which migh. prove Of the highest importance
and of such character as TO demand iniheu'a'o
and general action thereupon, would render such
issus necessary; but an experience OF nearly
svs months has not justified that conviction.
During this whole period, there has been only
one occasion when the news was Of such moment
as TO render indispensable the appearance OF the
paper on Sunday. Accordingly, though it's circu-
lation has fully equaled our expectations. we have
determined to bring it now to close. In case
however, Of the receipt late on Saturday night,
or early on Sunday, of intelligence of great aRd
imminent consequence, we shall Jay it before our
readers in an Extra on Sunday, though such
exigencies will naturally be very rare indeed.
In all other cases, we shall claim for ourselves
and our assistants the comforts and blessings
secured by combining the issue Of our Journal TO
the six secular days of each succeeding week.

identical N all, and that these should bo levied
and collected along the frontiers of the domn.
ions of tho con. tracing parties, and that each
should participate in the net produce of such
duties in properties to its population. This priu-
ciple of collection and distribution governs all the
parties now in the ZolIverein in all matters OF
foreign and domestic trade, with the exception
Of articles which are State monOpples, articles
of native produce, charged with different inter-
nal excuses or taxes upon consumption IN the
several States, and patented articles OF the scy-
eral States. With these exceptions, the Internal
trade of these States is as free as that of the
United States; aud it is provided, moreover,
that the tolls and other charges of transit, in all
cases, whether the roads, rivers, and canals be-
long to the public or to private Individuals, shall
not exceed the sum required to keep them in
proper repair, the rates in Prussia being taken
as the moximum.
With this idea Of the extent and importance
Of the country under the tariff system of the
Zollyerein, let us now look ut che rates Of duty,
and the principle under which they are applied,
as the following selections from the schedules
serve to exhibit them. The difficulty Of stating
our rates Of duty upon like quantities and values
in very many instances is so great, and withal
so uncertain, that we content ourselves with tho
nearest approach to o comparative table that the
nature of the case admits. This difficulty arises
from the fact that, in lists Of more than four
hundred descriptions of articles, they are all
charged by the zolverein centuer li04 lbs,
avordupois, except living ANIMALS, charged by
the head, FIVE of the largest sizes Of mirrors,
charged by the piece; grain of all kinds by meas
ure. and the various kinds of wood charged
sometimes by the fathom, cubic foot, or piece,
or in Prussian measures reducibls to these.
Square yards, square feet, pairs, and gallons, 10
frequently occurring in our descriptions OF quau-
tty never appearing in the zollyerein, nor In
quantities reducibe by mere computation to these
denominations. And especially troublesome Is
tho fact that there is not in all the Gsts before
us q single instance of duty charged ad raj
orem, while ours il excessively hindered BY them.
We select, as we we did in our exhibit Of the
French tariff, the chief articles of commerce Tor
the purpose of showiog, By tabular statement
and comparison with the Morrill, tariff, tbs spirit
which rules Germany in the protection Of its
house industry.

letter, which We print this morning, full of the

And so it will be ss long as the public Offices

Our system of import duties has been so long
based upon the value Of commodities, and as
sessed by percentages, that We can scarcely
divest ourselves Of the notion that imposts or
customs are taxes, and must be ruled by the
general principles Of taxation. With this pre-
possession, we can hardly understand the Euro
pean tariffs, which discard valuation in their
assessments, and subordinate revenue to pro-
lection In tine new French tariff, Tor instance,
We find coarse cotton cloth of English manu-
facture rated at ! cent per square yard and
the finest at only one.seyentieth OF cent. Con-
verted into al ralorsms, these rates would DO
about 25 per cent. upon the coarse CLOTH and
not more than One.thirty -fye-one hundrelth OF
one per cent upon the finest article OF the same
class. If the like or corresponding policy, in
any proper instance, were attempted here, We
should be stunned with tho cry Of "burdening
" the consumption Of tho poor, and sIempting
=" the Injuries of the RICH" The idea Of taxa
ton ruling as ii does, in all our reasonings
upon tho tariff system il would DO denounced Us
unconstitutional. negotiable, unreasonable, and'
above all an iniquitous case of "clas' leelsia'
tion.' When we meet with examples oil tho

sacred oaths of office are wantonly violated by

periled; it becomes us, as individuals and as a
people, to PROSTATE ours.lyes before Cod and
to supplicate His merciful interposition.
Let us, or that day, with united voice and
heart, lift up our supplications to that Divine
Beng, whose proyidences rueth over all, ;" and
beseech Him to "turn the counsel of wicked
men into toolishness," and to restrain those
irascibe passions, which threaten the land with
violence and boodshed.
Let the burthen of our prayer be for our
country:-lhat our Heavenly Father will avert
from us the calamity of civil war, and dispose
the people to peace and to the cultivation of
spit OF traternal respect and iorbearance -
hat he will give to the President of the

SOUTHERN DESPOTISM.

The tyranny and despotism that for centu-
ries has been practiccd in the petty sovereign
ties and even in some of the larger governments
of Europe, has, for years, been fruitful theme
for our "Fourth of July" orators and our long
winded patriots. We have uniformly condemn
ed the practises and execiated the memory of
those whose despotic sway has abridged what
we believed TO be the natural and indefeasible
rights of mankind, at times in language more
forcible than elegant And in no part of the
country has this "spread eagle oratory," the
laudotion of privileges and opportunities of the
people of this country for selEgovernment.
been carried to greater extent than il the Cot
ton States. They have annually furnished a
crop of orators whose independence orations
and stump speeches have been filled to surfeit
with stale declarations OF the rights of the dear
people, and which have been an unfailinr
source OF amusement and satire for cultivated
minds.
In the organization of the new government
in these States it would naturally be s,lpposed
that their people, with the aid Of these numer-
Gus burning and shining lights in the domain
of craftsmanship, would exemplify the doctrines
which they have so openly and increasingly
advanced. Any one placing the least reliance
upon their sincerity would expect to behold in
their Confederacy the most perfect form of
democratic government that has yet been es-
tablished. Especially would he look for an
expression of the free and full consent of the
governed to the frame of government under
which they are to live and all their extended
interests protected and maintained. What
are the facts
The political leaders in the Cotton States, a
large number of whom were either disappoint-
