well as one of the most careful poll
teal observers of the time, SAID of
the present situatiou: This tariff
bill means the disruption of the
Republican party. The taxes i'm
posed by it will be resented by rhe
people. New England will Ger
taInly go Democratic on the CUES
ZION of duty on hides, but the
lesson that will be taught by this
one item might be applied to every
other section of the country. The

be Democratic by a very large ma.

TO question, said he thought the
debate on the tariff bill, which is
to begin on the 18th inst. would
last until about the first Of July.
