TARIFF CoSvESTIoS.-The democracy of Penn
sylvania held State Tariff Convention at Holli-
daysburgh, in November, for the purpose Of pro-
testing against any alteration, by Congress, in the
present revenue law. Ex-Gov. Porter presided.


If these Pennsylvania locos had understood
their true interest previous to the last Presidential
election, there would have been no necessity for
holding this convention, and the modification Of
seeing the tariff reduced by Congress, notwith-
standing their solemn protests, would have been
saved them. But, they suffered themselves to
be wheedled into the support Of man whose
views in relation to tariff were ever at variance
with the interests of Pennsylvania, they have no
right to complain. They should stick to the man
of their choice ''like tick to dead Sheep" and
swallow with as good grace as possible every dose
he gives them. They deserve all they get for
their duplicity.
