The Tariff.

A contemporary expresses the opinion that
the South and the North were Us DISTINCT!
divided upon the question of tariff for pro-
lection rs upon that of slavery. We do not
see the grounds upon which this opinion
rests.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON was regarded rs the
father of the tariff for the protection of do
nestle industry. Mr.. CALHOUN cspoused the
pclicy of protection by imports on foreign
importations with great zeal, and supported
a higher tariff than had been proposed by
Mr.. HAMILTON. Mr.. WEBSTER, representing
not only Massachusetts, but speaking as 1t
were for the whole of New England, bitterly
opposed the tariff. The New England pco-
ME were devoted to the sea and fishing. ana
had no idea of the protection of an industry
that did not exist amongst them.
In time the two greatest statesmen Of the
timc-Mr. WEBSTER representing the North.
and Mr.. CALHOUN the South-cXctianSed
positions on the tariff. New England had
found her true vocation in manufacturing,
and Mr.. CALHOUN discovered, as he believed,
that the main burthen of protecting manu-
features fell upon the South. But neither gen.
tlenmn carried with him all the section in
which he resided. The Democrats, one of
whose tenets was opposition to the protective
tariff. carried for years Maine, New Hamp-
shire, and Connecticut, often New York,
and almost always Pennsylvania and Della
T., .,,n S,rtb Tho VIII SomatimaS
carried Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
and Tennessee and Kentucky was sort Of
banner Wing State. So we see that upon
the tariff the people were very much mixed
W. in both sections. A significant circum-
stance showing the rather muddled state of
the question ut the time JACKSON was Presi-
dent was the fact that tariff for revenue and
protection combined was settled upon as a
sort of compromise between the parties. 1t
was, however, a very good protective tariff,
and the country was quiet about it for many
years.
Certainly the question was not at any time
sectional and is not likely ever to become
SO. The South Is growing more and more
inclined to manufacturing industry, and as
she will have smaller put of the burthen Of
protection as she increases her manufactures,
we imagine there will be less disposition to
make fight over it, and less probability OF
ever making o sectional issue upon it. But
our great national debt will require tariff
that will be so protective, even if levied
mainly to revenue, that there will be little
ground to dispute about it.

The ARMY-AND GENERAL GRANT.-Ina re-
cent speech in the House Of Representatives,
General SLocuM, of New York, deplored the
departure Of ancient ideas and habits in the
United States army, touching interference in
politics. He declared that we could easily
recall the time when officers of the army
ignored politics, and few voted at all, and
when everybody regarded the army as a
branch Of the Executive Department of the
Government, supported by the whole people,
for the defence Of the country.
General sLoCUM expressed doubt as to
whether General GRANT, when lieutenant in
the army, ever knew the politics of one of his
associates. But wonderful change had, he
said, come over the country. "Now the
military is indispensable at our elections.
"We draw on the army for our stirring ora
tors, we call on them to preside at the polls.
Having by their aid selected our Chief Ma
gistrate, If the citizen would pay his respects
to" him, he must first pass in review at the
"White House before three or four briga-
" diergenerals. five desire to negotiate for
" the purchase of an island the negotiations
"must be carried on by brigadier-general."
Quite a military show, indeed, for Re-
public. Mayn't we call it a military Repub-
lie! Does not General GRANT still ignore
politics? He knows little about them and
cares less. He leaves it to his Cabinet and
leading Radicals in Congress. He has other
fish to fry" The stolid indifference of the in
different President to matters he don't COM
prehend is only equalled by his logged per-
sistence in running the patronage department
to please his own taste, and after this to run
his teams and smoke his cigar. lie inclines
to military men. He still ignores politics,
and not permitting himself to be disturbed
in his favorite pursuits, he lets the world
wag. But this is ludicrous condition for II
Republic to come to. I"
