0SFIhe Wings are now getting very much
concerned on the subject Of the tariff. They
say that reduction below the point Of proec.
tion will come like clap of thunder upon
them, altogether unperceived. Poor creatures
they have been asleep for more than year
now and have heard this sad and startling in
telIingence for the first time. True this tariff
was discussed.all last summer, all over the
country. The Wing papers sounded the notes
ofalarm. The Democratic papers everywhere
except in Pennsylvania, denounced the tariff !;
50 much 50 that the Wings raised terrible
howl about free trade-told their party that
tracts were sent over to this country from Eng
land TO aid in the election OF James K. Polk,
/ by disseminating the doctrines of free trade,
which were the doctrines of the Democratic
party. After all this they announce il as a
I strange thing--a most startling piece Of news:
| that a majority Of Congress are against the
/ doctrine of protection. Another set of Wings
are amusing themselves pointing out the in
/ consistency and insincerityof the D emocratic
party. ] hey say the Democrats will not touch
the tariff, that when they had the majority,
they did not meddle with it; that the agitation
Of the subject was all demagoguery designed for
political capital--and that, too, in the midst Of
the startling development never dreamed Of be-
fore that majority Of Congress are actually
opposed to protection, and that protection will
prebablysbe abandoned.


Strange things, these Wings. They make
all sorts of sounds, and publish all manner of
Roorbacks. Say they, the Democrats are all
divided SO that they can carry nothing; then
again, they are actually unitedin doing what
we told you all last summer they would do, and
yet we never heard Of it before-startling fact
they will abolish protection, which we said
they intended to Go, and said they did not in-
tend to do. We said both ways. and swore 10
il; and yet, we never heard ofthe thing before,
Astonishing -sudden-unexpect shock
ing!!


Now, We .don'tsee why the Wings should be
sOmuch shocked at abolishing protection. Mr..
Tompkins has pledged that the Wings will
abolish our system when England abolishes
hers, The prime minister of England saws
that he is Withdrawing protection; all parties
in that country agree that the system is .syi.
cious and unsound." England has begun and
why should not the Wings now begin 70 re-
deem their pledge; orshalI we set this down
ike the rest Of whig promises, two dollars a
day and good roast beef.n


The report that Mr. Buchanan had with
drawn from the Cabinet Is untrue.
