On the 18th Of February, Mr.. Judd pre-
sentcd 10 the House OF Representatives a
petition from thirty wholesale groccsa of
demonstrating against the pro-
posed change OF the tar1n on sugar, tea, and
coffee. We publish the petition in another
column. The remonstrants state two facts
which arc incontroyertihle: I. That the
duties On sugar, tea, and coffee are ta1, the
proceeds of which are paid wholly into the
Treasury of the United States, differing in
tlls respect from many other ta1es imposed
by the tariff laws. 2. That the proposed
reduction of duty on sugars is deliberate
ntternpt to legialate bounty 10 the sugar
refners, under the pretenoe Of comforting q
