We tlink Sew Engiani, when 1t tries to regulate the

in it. We think sue isrieh enough to live without any
bounties or tariffs, or government pr teciion Of any
kind. except that projection" which we all reesive. If
she continue te abide with as, she win have to give no
her tsrihs and agree net 20 NEEDLE with the local inter

tariff robbery andnegro stealing, or go out in the cold
BY herself.
Before the war, when we enjoyed the customs OF the
South, corn was worth from fifty up to seventy cents
per bushel It nov brings in many places in Indiana
and Nliaoas, about fifteen cents. There Is not a city in
the West whose manufactures to the extent Of one do
lar dnd q market la New England. What mechanic or
manufaeturer OF this city ever made a collars worth of
goods or wares for the East Our extensive furniture
establishments, oprfauudeIies, and indeed, all our work
ers in either wood or iron would soon close up snd rot
down they depended for business on new England
cnstom- 1esleAd OF Deing Customers they are rivals
and cut un6er our people IN every market in the West
20 which they come, under tn International tree traie.
Nol only sHaL- mere i nos an article we buy of
them that we could not p 0eura from fifty TO one hun
dred per cen cheepss ia Europfi if we were allowed
to 90 30. New England goes 20 Congress and tells the
ncmbers ths she cannot live unless she is @Dr0tectedt
by q tariff: that i, unless the Western, Middle and
S31th IN States are compelled to pay her great deal
more for goods than they could be procured elsewhere.
she is 50 ocnemor tai to the Union that we pay her ia

a short time, this would be the richest country the sun

he buysa coat. at the same time buy smother one 10 nre-

Why should q New England man, when he catches a

Why should New England live and thrive upon a sys-

But we are told that he natural outlet for our
immense stores OF gra "A is through the Northern lakes
ard by csnais to the city of Nsw York. Il cut of from
the Eastern States, this outlet would be denied NJ, and
our water csmR unicstioa with the world would be the
Roundabout, uncertain, unheslty ccu-se down the Mis-
siasippi river The natural outlet - TO the ocean
through he ARTIFICIAL canals Of the East, and not
through tho dssIs broad magnificent rivers, which God
has given to the western country, and By which its
produce can be 81 easily and cheapiy forwarded TO the

rivers in the West are the lfe-blOod and arteries of our
