u Hon. NATHAN APPLETON, Of Boston, hav-
ing been assailed and misrepresented In the Eve
ming Post, in connection with the passage and
the operation OF the present Tariff, has responded
through the last number Of that paper in language
which should cause the ears of its Editor to
tngIe The Post attempts to reloln, but IN a
rrost crippled condition. For instance, 1t finds
fault that Mr. Appleton does not state what divi-
dends the Lowell factories are no,c making. But
Mr.. A. has stated xhat they haze made for the
tpo gears ending in February last, when the la
test returns were made, and that it is less than
six per cent. 'Ah, but,' says the Post, he con-
fines himself to the last t,co gears, (under the
present Tariff when Manufactures have been
least prosperous But in another place Mr.. Ap-
pleton gives the dividends Of those factories for
The last secen years, and the average is between
81 and per cent. Bot this does not stop the
Posts caviing, nor would any statement, how
ever direct or conclusive. 1t skulks at last away
from the whole ground, SO bsastingly covered for
months byits party, of excessive dividends and
asserts that the companies pay too high salaries





to their officers --Thafsis, in substance, five
hundred stockholders combine to rob themselves
of the fair earnings Of their investment, in order
to pay reDy the cousin or brother ofthree Or four
of their number This is as reasonable as the
average Of Free Trade utilities.


O. 1t appears to be a settled thing that Ed
WARD CURTIS has been removed. from the Collec-
torship Of this Port, and that an agent or CON-
mission has been here to trade off the office for
Tyler support. The Post of last evening init
4na.es that a bargain has been struck. We'll, we
shall notobiect to thehc$ man, till We know who
hcis and what he does; but we dqu9tthe ability of
Mr. Tyler to improve the management of the
Custom House by the infusion of any new ma
.erias which are at his service. However, all
understand that the Public Good is the last thing
looked after by the present dynasty.
