The last tract of [" Junius," zAe 2drif 1tS. ssmPkGnt" is worthy of special regard and 0e uni- versal circulation. It has advanced stage in the tariff debate never before trodden, and defned the doetrne tAeOvy ef protection in ts influence on prices that every man can see boo protection pro- duces the effects alleged by the whigs-bOsO such such effects are inevitable by fixed IasU in our foreign commercial relations and operations. Facts have been adduced in abundance to refdte the free trade theory that consumers pay the duties impo- sed for protection and that protection enhances the prices of manufactured articles; but the freetrade man still says ss Admitting your facts, our theOry proves that these articles would be still lower with out protective tariff" Here the man unaccus- toned to reasoning in such matters is baked, and cannot easily get over the difficulty presented.- He is told: 's Somebody must pay the duties; you cannot throw the burden back on the producersbe- yond the sea; therefore the consumer pays them" This is short, plausible, and with uninformed minds often conclusive. But the 's Tariff Tfium- phant" of Junus sweeps away this difficulty, clears the road, and conducts the plainest mind, without the labor of study, to the right conclusion. This is an achievement. It was a desider0lsms abso. lutely necessary to make the subject clear to all minds. There is very surprising, not to say as- founding comprehensive fact revealed in this tract the foundation of the authors theory, to wit that we pay an average of about 50 per cent of the cost of imported articles of manufacture into the exche- quers of foreign and despotic governments as tdr used to oppress and injure ourselves! It is shown that we have all this range of 90 per cent. to pay our own operatives and labo.ers well, to reduce the prices of manufactured articles. and increase na- tional wealth by proper system of protection, be. fore foreign producers will be driven from our mer<et The free.trade theory is utterly annihila- ted by this argument of Junius It is singular that the tkeovy of protection it affects prices has ne. yer before been desmed usad explained.

 This tract, (No 10 of the series) ought, as far possible, to go along with Mo- 3, 's Ihe I0rif," published year ago, which embodies more fully

 the facts which constitute the groundwork of tract, Mo- 10.

 not be easily estimated. Heintroduced the system of political tracts in 164O as is we'll known, with great efficiency, and has followed it up fer the cam paign of 1s44 by protracted series of most elabo- rate and effective documents, comprehending all the great issues before the country between the two great parties. Clouds of other papers on the same general plan have followed and clustered around this nucleus of the general system. But the }" Jun. jus Tracts" seem, by general consent, to have ac- ouired the position of the stG'sdGrd schig dOcS- naents. They have gone every where. are going author has planted himself securely and firmly in the public mind of his country; and if he should do no nore will long continue to enlighten it, Such productions will not perish.

 lar institutions will deserve well of the millions who are benefited.

 banner. The democratic party is wholly enlisted on the side of southern oppression and cruelty; it has no northern phase Men who can support it, under such circumstances, are the enemies of God and the human race. It is covered all over with uncleanness and blood. It has stolen the sacred and with the same intent, that Satan assumes the garb of an angel of light: A more pro4ligase and desperate party never existed on earth. We use strong terms, but they called for by a righteous moral indignation, in view of facts as indisputable as they are appalling"
