tanned. that bill modifying The present Tann
law, will meet with strong opposition from
menberso Of both parties In Congress. And
the passage Of bill, reducing the present bur.

Of our Northern brethren from TIE Manufaciuf

We would exceedingly regret the failure, in
either branch Of the national Legislature, Of the
passage Of q revenue bill, SO modifying
the present Tariff lave, as to p lace our govern
ment upon permanent basis, established upon
free trade principles. The spirit of the present
age, both in this country and Europe, is to
knock offthe shackles from trade g. commerce,
opening The markets Of the world to every spe
cies Of trade. We would deplore the circum.
stance which should cothe any set o! men with
a brief authority, who would permit either par.
y organization, or selfish and interested mo-.
lives, 10 influence their action upon great
question like this.


The pmciPIas of free trade, are so just in
their operations, and promise so much fairness
to the people, should they be adopted as rule
Of action, that 1t seems strange to US, that any
one claiming to be democrat, should think of
advocating dffererent doctrine. We trust
the sufficient sense magnanimity, at least,
may pervade the minds of our Northern breh.
rem, as 10 cause them to do US justice.
