 The Locofoco State Address of Georgia assais the Tariff sayagely, and especially the duty it im poses on Railroad Iron. It represents Georgia as paying an immense tax on the Iron she needs for her Railroads in consequence ofthe Tariff Itkeeps out of sight the part that Mir. Evans (Whigs) of Maine attempted last winter to have the duty taken oh Railroad Iron, but was resisted by MT. Buchan- an, (Loco) of Pa., and the bill defeated by major fly of both parties. That was right Railroad Iron is sOmewhat-nOt much-dearer now than it would be if there were no duty upon it, but this will not long continue At this moment several extensive establishments for the manufacture of Railroad Iron are going up both in Pennsylvania and Maryland l; and if Clay is elected we shall doubtless have good Rails as cheap as ever before within three years, made by American workmen, who receive Ameri- can wages, consume American provisions, fuel, sc wear American cloths, and help support American schools, churches, and governments. Even now, the Paterson Railroad Company has just made a contract for the Rails to relay their Road for 52 12 per ton, delivered in Jersey City. This $ three dollars per ton cheaper than the auerage cost of tAe sdnse 11 RGiis i,. xis City during the seren years that RGilrO0d h'O'1 acas admitted free 0f dnty Is not this fact most instructivey sgnifcant

 Our People supposed, when they took the duty off of Railroad Iron, that it would be just so much cheaper; but this proved serious mistake. It did not fall to the amount of the duty, and began to rise. the demand for it from England increased and kept up 1ih we broke down here, and nearly stopped making Railroads. Ii is to us plain as de- nonstration that Rails would have been far lower to-day, and for five years past, if we had kept on the duty from the first. Our Iron.masters were driven out of the business by Free Trade just when they began to turn their attention to it, and have never since attempted to do any thing at it until after the present Tariff was enacted and stood the first Locofoco onslaught last winter. Now they are just going heartily into it, and will be ready 70 make largely next season. Let them be salye that they are to be protected against Foreign compet- tioh, ahdthey will lay down good Rail on the At. lantic II $45 ton before three years over But ifthe Tariff is to be ripped up and overturned by Polk Congress. they will be driven out of the bus- ness, and the English lron-masters, having control ofthe market, will again make their own prices or, more strictly. the the British Tronworks for all the Railroad Iron to supply both Great Brit ain and oar Country will force up prices to high. shass ,sss s Svt s turning out Railroad dn bUgaG.
