OHIO we are pleased to see disposition on the
conservative Republicans of the State 10 come
into the support oil the Democratic Union tick

ticket is an excellent one --nnexceptional In Its

true Union men can stand on, They are anx-
ious to avoid the bitterness OF party contest,
and see no other way TO do that THAI By sup
porting the Democratic Union ticket.
That il undoubtedly the proper course, and
those who are really patriotic and desiruus of
having Ohio present united tront in favor os
the Constitution and the Union and Ia support
OF The Government. holding in one haud the
sword and in the Other the olive branch OF peace,

The Robbery of the Northwest by
special l. legislation for the Renee
fit OF manufacturers, and by the
District Tax Law.


special Legislation for the Bcue-
fit Of Manufacturers, and by the
District Tax Law.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, an Administration
paper makes an important admission in re-
cent article on "the new tariff" It says:
awe take it that the increase Of duties, ex-
cept in respect to tea, coffee and sugar, was not
for the purpose Of increasing the revenue TO be
obtained for them but that it was made upon
the broad principle that what zoe can afford to
spend, 0e must to' hepesent spend at homs."
We copy as italicized by the Enquirer Two
important admissions are made:
1st. That the increased rates OF duty, except
those on tea, coffee and sugar ,cers not for the
purpose Of increasing the reoenue.
2ni. That the duties were increased upon
the broad principle that what we can afford to
spend, we mast, for the present, spend at home"
The Morrill, Tariff was considered great
outrage, as it was grossly unjust in its opera
tions, taxing one portion of the people for the
benefit Of another and favored portion. There
was pretty general demand for its modifca-
tion so as to lower the rates Of duty, thereby
producing an increased revenue, and relieving
one portion OF the people to the extent OF that
modification OF an unjust tax.
Instead ofdoing so just thing the Republi-
can Congress increased The rate of duties 80 as
to amount almost to a prohibition of importa-
tions, thereby giving to the manufacturers a
monopoly Of the market, and to that extent
augmenting the injustice done the consumers
by the Morrill, Tariff
And the Philadelphia Inquirer tells US that
this injustice was done on the broad principle
of compel ng consumers, If they have any mon-
ey, to spend it at home. In other words, the
object was to force consumers to tuy OF the
monopolists for the beneiiG ofiron men Of Penn
sylvania and the cotton manufacturers OF New
England.
A high or prohibitory tariff alwaps operates
unjustly upon the Northwest. But these Penn
sylvania and New England politicians care moth
iag for that so long as they can, by partial leg.
islation, maks the Northwest pay tribute to
them. The present act ofinjustice is the gross
est one on record. Money was wanted to car
ry on the war. Instead of so fixing the tariff
as to produce the greatest amount Of revenue,
they fixed It SO as to bring the least, except on
those necessaries Of life, tea, coffee and sugar,
and made up for it by direct tax on lands.
thereby doing double injustice to the Northwest.
The prohibitory tariff makes the people OF the
North west pay an increased price for all manu-.
factured articles; and the direct tax law com
pels them, in proportion to the value Of their
lands, to nay, in some cases, double the taxes
to what the New England States do. Such
injustice as that would drive some people 70
revolution. What effect it will hare on the
people Of The Northwest, we can not u II until
tax paying time shall cene.-- Enquirer.

have lost ten thousand of the best armed, drill

In other words, every day which added to the
strength OF the enemy made us weaker.
In conclusion desire TO say. in reference to
the events OF the 21st ultimo, that the general
order for the battle TO which referred. was,
with slight notifications: literally conformed to.
that The corps were brought over Bull Run in
the manner proposed and put into action as be.
fore arranged, and that up to late in the AFTER
noon every movement ordered was carrying US
successfully to the object we had proposed he
fore starting--that of getting to the railroad
leading from Manassas to the valley of Virgin
ia, and going on it far enough to break up and
destroy communication and interviews between
the forces under Beauregard and those under
johnson. And could we have fought day or
lew hours sooner. there is everything to show
how we could have continued successful even
against the ODDS with which we contended:
l have the honor to be, very respectfully.
