1t has Just struck the miod5 of some pxoplo
that the exi5to1co OF the tariff may have some
thing to DO with the continual disturbances ca

might probably tend in no slight degree to the
restoration Of peace and tranquility 10 that now
raid ridden section. That the tariff has been
a chief cause Of these disturbances, no ono who
has considered the subject carefully has any
