1t is avorite trick with those journals who can
not undertake to maintain issue against the tariff
of lS46, on its own merits, to disparage it sec
tional measure--the result of predominance OF
Southern policy. We have already shown, upon
more than occasion, by reference to the record
ed vote Of both houses of Congress-, that the sup
port given to the new tariff was by no means
sectional In confirmation of this view, and
as illustrative of the opinion entertained of the tariff
by The leading democratic statesmen of the north
we quote, with great pleasure, the following just
and appropriate passage from the last annual mes
sage OF Governor Wright Of the State of New
York


CASA declaration of the policy of the present ad.
mlnstration Of the federal government the message
Of the President appears me to Justify the conf
dence entertained by the country in the publicly
avowed principles of the man, and to realize the ex-
pectatons naturally excited by his elevation to the
high trust he holds. The re-esablishment Of the in
dependent treasury confidently anticipated as a
result Of his election, and that great measure could
not have been more distinctly or strongly recon-
mended to Congress, than it is in this message. The
principles put forth as those which should govern
adjustment of the laws for the collection of our
revenue from the customs, also those the coun-
try had right to expect from his public declara-
tons upon that subject They appear 10 me 10 be sub

twill be seen that this distinguished statesman,
though constrained by the dire necessity Of the case
to give his vote undet protest, for the tariff of ls42,
@a temporary expedient yet fully recognises and
approves the principles laid down by the present ad-
mlnistration the basis OF our revenue legislation.
promise Of permanency". and of reasonable
satisfaction to the different sections Of our widely
extended country" are, as Mr.. Wright truly OBJ
serves, the natural results Of the sound constitution
al and economical principles, upon which the tariff
of ls46 is based, and Of the just and impartial spirit
in which its "details are generally adjusted.
