The Evening Post finds it necessary to attack
and grossly dcfamc the character of New-York Sail
in the course of its warfare on the Tariff. 1t learns
tha, the Onondaga Salt is SO bad tha, Batter laid
down with it is spoiled, and adds,


"If So the country would be a gamer by gicing m'
Ononda1a sa porls handsome compensation fur ctosfns

should be Imported free Of duty There is no need, Eo"
ever Of such eSpedient TO secure the making ol
good salt every where in the country. little stimulus
In the way of competition is all that our salt works
need"


The Post goes on to say that the Onondaga Salt
is treb!y protcc,ed-by the cost of transportation
by the u s. duty; and by the discrimination OF Ca
nal Tolls This is not fair nor true. The State does
indeed discriminate in favor OF her own Salt but at
the same time she imposes and collects an ercase Of
sir c.ts zer bushelof Sc lbs. on all the Sat M ade
Mt our STATE Works. This is nearly equal TO the
U. s. duty on Foreign Salt so that in point of fact,
our Salt manufacturers have little advantage in the
market-none at all in supplying the Eastern section
of this State Take off the U. s. duty and let the
State continue to collect her Excise on Onondaga
Salt, and the Foreign article will have an immense
advantage in our markets without taking into ac-
count the Posts sweeping and unjust disparagetnent
of Ncw-York Salt.


The Post asserts that Inc manufacture OF Salt al
sana is negligent and defective" by reason of
the treble monopoly" and will be greatly improv-
ed by Free Trade. Now TO this we reply that the
progress of improvement IN our Salt Manufacture
was nercr rapid since the present 1arlg cas
enacted. We have been favored with specimens OF
table salt from Syracuse friends which we think were
never exceeded elscwhere-that is, they were just
Salt and nothing else.


We ask the Post TO write to its friends in the Salt
region for reliable statements before reicrates its
injustice to the interests the industry, and injury to
the revenue Of our State Let learn at the same
time how the prices Of NewYork Salt have been
affected by the Tariff and think it will have rea-
son to modify a fayorite theory.


These attacks on an important interest of our
State, emanntng from quarter which will give them
great weight at Washington, ought to be authorita
lively and promptly refuted. five are not making
Sal, at Salina but spccious and worthless coun
terfet the State Of New-York ought to be indicted
for countenancug, participating in and protting by
most Infamous and bale!ul fraud, by which she is
deuding and misleading her own citizens and the
whole Western country. Ought not Gov Wright
TO speak out on this subject in his Message
