GOOD ADVICE FROM THE RIGHT QUARTER.
1t is well known that the object which the whig
party have in view by keeping up agitation Of the
tariff question, ia to turn II merely to their political
advantage. The welfare of the manufacturer or the
laborer is Of little importance compared with this OBJ
iect. When the proposition to compromise the pres
ent duties was under consideration, they refused to
support it in the Senate. They resolved not TO make
the fantest effort to the country from the vio-
lence of the shock which, they say, has been given
to it. If desire for the welfare of the people,
they regarded it, and the Of their principles
had actuated them, they never would have deserted
those principles when in extremity. 1t they could
not preserve the law of lS42 untouched they would
have struggled to the least possible modi6ca-
ton of its principles and exactions. But far from
pursuing such course, they preferred the total re-
peal of the law and a complete overthrow of their
| principles. .,.


| This course Of conduct wrong as it may have
been principle, is however, likely to be attended
with a very favorable result. The manufacturers,
and those who are dependant upon them for labor,
now that, in the agitation of this great question,
they are TO be used by the wings merely as instru-
| ments for promoting political objects. Their own
welfare and interests are to be always subservient
to the party ends, and when necessary, entirely
sacrificed. Under these circumstances, but one
course 10 left for themthat is, to separate them
selves and their interests entirely from politics, and
thus they will escape the uncertainty and hazard at
tending political agitation and excitement. This is
the prudent advice given by manufacturer in let
ter to the New Haven Courier. He says; ...


"Whe this question is left in the hands of mere
politicians, we shall always have trouble. To make
the business pursuits of the people dependant upon
the success Of party, is like linking church and
state together; by the union, government may be
strengthened, but vital religion is impaired. A pro-
tective tariff made the ralyng cry by one class Of
political aspirants, and an object Of attack by
another, may be influential in displacing this man
from Office and in eevating another to po yer and
consequence, but in the mean time it becomes more
obnoxious to its opponents, and more dependant
upon the popular caprice There is no neutral
ground upon which the combatants may meet and
form treaty productive ofadvantages TO both, nor
have the manufacturers any other alternative than
Of joining in the melee for their rights, which, tenn
porarily secured at immense sacrifice, are liable
to be snatched suddenly away from them by another
onslaught Of their political enemies


"Individuals de not expend large sums for build
ings and machinery for political purposes, but to ac
quire property supply their families with bread,
and they connect themselves with party merely
