OF laws which permit slavery are henccforth
abolished, and that slavery shall never again

no portion of rs.iall be admitted into the Union

Revision Of the Tariff.

A bill has been introduced into the House
of representatives to amend tho Morrill, Tar
iff by lessening the duty on coal and rags
1t was introduced, we believe, by Mr.. Mel
son Of New York, and tho thanks OF the
press and the people Of this country are duo
to the gentleman for his efforts to correct q
crying evil upon the country. We have al
ways believed in such tariff upon importa-
tions as should protect our home industries,
but when the duty exceeds that necessary
protection, 1t creates a monopoly which is
too grievous to be borne without complaint.
We have no aspirations to instruct the press
upon any subject, but we cannot but remind
them that they (news and book publishers)
arc taxed beyond that Of any other class OF
business men, unless We except liquor distil-
lers, not, as we believe, for the benefit Of the
finances Of the country as much as the pock-
cts of monopolists, and If the load is much
longer borne, it will be their own fault.
