NEW YORK HERALD.|* Yoru, Monday, May 13 tn&a. he Tariff Question Set! é Our accounts from Washington are highly inter- esting. On Friday last, the proposed new Tariff Bill was laid on the table, there to remain for the present session—and, for all intents and purposes, We refer our readers tosome very important cor- | any movement for a modification, in the like respondence from Washingten, developing the real state of things there, which will be tound under our Postscript Head. By these accounts it would seem that Van Buren will be the democratic candidate after all—and that a!l the elements will be reconciled im a new position in a few days. This is a droll world—and politics isa droll thing PrsstpentiaL Munstarisy ax) PaxsipeNtial. Revetay.—Atwill has just published the classical song, “Clay and Frelinghuysen,” which was sung with such transport by the temperate mobs assem- bled at the Baltimore Convention. This is an- other indication that the present electioneering cam- paign is to be characterized by the same disrepta- ble scenes of riot and debauchery, which in 1840 disgraced the country in the eyes of this world, and also the next world, with the exception of that por- tion of it for which these drunken and vile orgies prepared those who participated in them We had, indeed, hoped that this contest would have been conducted with decency and dignity. But the recent Whig Convention at Baltimore has undeceived us. Look at the crowds who flocked there—the drunkenness—-the debauchery—-the senseless appeals to the lowest passions of amob— the vulgar emblems paraded—the loafers, nick- named ‘‘minstrels’—the violence—the abuse— the oaths—the disgusting conduct of all lead- ers, mob and all, from beginning to end! Oh! it is really sickening to witess such scenes. They are disgraceful to human beings. No wonder their recital in Europe elicits the sarcastic inquiry, if we are civilized here in the United States. This abominable mummery of “coons,” and “coonskins,” is especially dis- gueting. It reminds us of the degraded Egyptians in their worship of rats and the vilest vermin. A Coon! And isthis, indeed, an emblem of the whig party—this vile, miserable, dirty creature of the forest? Are the opponents of the whigs any better? Not one whit. They are preparing for a great Conven- tion at Baltimore,and it will be equally disgraceful, no doubt, as that of the whigs. According to all appearances, the same revelry, the same debauch- ery, the same intemperance, will characterize it— Instead of ‘‘coonism” it will be “hickoryisin,” and if we won’t hear the cry of ‘hard cider,” we will have something harder still—hard whiskey and hard brandy and hard swearing. ‘The probability is, that Mr. Van Buren will be the antagonist of Mr. Clay, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary. What isthe reason that the contest between them cannot be carried on with decency, and that ¢levation of character which would give it dignity 7 Are there not measures of importance and great public in- terestto be debated between them? Can these not be temperately discussed? Can the country and its institutions not be saved from the disgrace which these scenes of riot and debauchery, and these vulgar appeals to passion and prejudice, bring upon them? We have perceived with regret, that even Mr. Webster appears to have lost sight of the elevated principles which have heretofore cna- racterized his political efforts. His speeches, since the Baltimore Convention, are not at all worthy of him. They are too much in the prevailing style and spirit of the vulgar political campaigners.— They are too much characterized by abuse, vita- peration and appeals to the passions. Can we really not be saved a repetition of the scenes of the “* Harrison Campaign?” Are we ins deed to be again covered with the disgrace of such conduct as that on which we have animadverted ? unless Father Mathew saves us, we have no hope. American RervaticaN Cavcus.—The member: of the Common Council elect are progressing slowly in caucus, in the selection of candidates to supply the places. of those in office who are to be temoved. Richard L. Schieffelin, Esq., of the 15th Ward hasbeen selected as President of the Board of Aldermen, and William Everdell, of the 2d Ward, President of the Assistants. Charles A. Whitney, of the 15th Ward, has been chosen Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, in caucus, and Thomas R Whitney, of the same ward, Clerk of the Board of Assistants. Benjamin S| Whitney, the popular speaker of this party, was defeated in his application for the last named office, through some mistake un the naine, we believe. Harris Wilson, E2aq., of the 9th Ward is selected as Public Admin- istrator; John Leveridge, Esq., of the Seventh Ward, is selected as counsel of the Board ; William Cox, grocer, of the 9th Ward, keeper of the City Prison ; candidate of the party is defeated; John B. Moi rill, of the 12th Ward, keeper of Blackwell’s Ie- land; Dr. Eli Leavitt, botanic physician, of the 18th Ward, City Inspector; Dr. Archibald Mercer, of the Ist Ward, resident physician; Horace Loof- boro’, superintendent of the Alms House. These | tion was held, appointments are reported as correct, but to-mor- row will decide. The present Boards meet this afternoon at half past three o’clock, to adopt euch measures as they may deem advisable, and at which time the lease of the Fulton ferry will be disposed of according to previous resolution: Casixet Dissenstons.—--There aré rumors of more cabinet dissensions already, in different parts of the country. The Washington correspondent of the Albany Argus, who 1s generally well-informed, states that the resignation of Mr. Calhoun may be speedily expected, and that the retirement of Mr. Nelson, the attorney general, is to be also looked for soon. The correspondent of the Boston Cour- ter, who is also careful in his statements, corro- borates this, and says that Mr. Calhoun’s resigna- ton is certain, and alludes to a number of changes said to be contemplated in the diplomatic ranks. ‘The probability is, that these reports are prema- ture; but we do not think that Captain Tyler wil! keep his present cabinet long, for he never keeps any one long. He appears to be as glad to get rid of a cabinet as he isto get a new one. {n this he very much resembles the baby— “Pleased with @ rattle—tickled with a straw” and who is in a paroxysm of delight with a new toy, but never rests till he finds out what is inside, and then, heartily tired of it, smashes it into atoms. John Jones is the only man in the government that sticks. And we suppose John sticks because he is pretty much of the same calibre and tastes with the Captain. Penysytvanta Honor ann Honesty.—In Harris. burg, the Pennsylvania Legislature boast of the wealth and resources, yet refuse to raise a tax to shape, mav be considered dead and buried, until after the Presidential election. In our paper of yesterday, we gave the vote for laying this bill on the table, with ayes and noes at length. Here is another analysis of the same vote, according to party views, taken from the “Spectator Upon the motion of Mr. Exaten to lay the bill to modify the tariff upon the table, the vote was—ayes 105, noes 99, as follows :— Yeas Nays Absent.

In order to clinch this vote, and prevent any recurrence of the discussion, without a change of the rules, (which cannot be done,) a motion for a reconsideration was also taken, and decided in the negative—ayes 98, noes 103. Thus is the tariff discussion finished for the pre- sent session—and the causes may partly be found in the fact that the Texas question has become the paramount element in the feud between the dif- ferent sections of the ‘democracie”—between the Calhoun and Van Buren sections. The following are very curious remarks, from the “Globe,” on the finale :— Tus Tanivr Briw.—It willbe seen that the great mea sure of the jion—the tariff bill—has been laid on the table, bya majority ofsix. We must say this result has not surprised us much. Before the recent excitement had grown up here, preliminary to the meeting of the Balti- more Convention, which has been suddenly turned into an outcry about the annexation of Texas, we have reason to believe, the bill would have passed without difficulty. \t may, therefore, be truly said, the dissension about the mediate and immediate annexation of Texas has had the effect of defeating the great measure which has heretofore been all in all with the republican party. We have understood that members from the South, heretofore the most active opponents of the existing ariff, and who took the greatest interest in. the pending bill, have suddenly become perfectly indifferent in regard to it Several of them have been seen to remain quietly in their seata, dec.ining to pasa between the tellers to be counted on the vote in regard to amendments decisive 15 to the fate of the bill. Such indifference on the part of members from asection of the Union most interested in the reduction of the tariff, was calculated to beget a simi- tar feeling among the democrats of the North who are in- amet to enter into the views of their brethren of the South. Thu will he seen that the absorbing question of the Presidency, which has heen associated with that of Texas, has swallowed the ff The Texas question, by itself, could have had ne such effvct; forthe whole diference between the democrats in regard to that subject, resolver tael_ into the question of mediate or immediate, which is nothing more than the difference between twee‘le-dum and tweedledee Every body now sees that Texas cen- not come into the Union but by the vote of a future Con- gress. Both portions of the democratic party defer it to the nextelection — It is insieted that the candidate for the Presidency shall be chosen with an eyeto that object; and we know of no democratic candidate who is not pre- pared to go for the annexation of Texas, in case the people and the States, through the representatives they may elect, declare in favor of it. Possibly, however, the tariff may come upin a new and original shape,when the provisions of the fa- mous Zoll Verein treaty comes before the House. That Convention willgive anew direction entirely to and William Harrington, the popular | to New York by a Mr [Thingimbob] of that city on Wed- all tariff discussions, and it is likely that Mr. Cal- houn and the South prefer to kill off Yan Buren with the Texas question, and to arrange the tariff in the shape of foreign treaties. We'll see. Thir may be the reason why the Southern anti-tariff members have so quietly submitted to the present result. Things are taking a curious turn. Tue Storen Treaty.—The Washington corres pondent of the Albany Argus, gives the following account of the mode by which the stolen treaty was published in the Evening Post of this city :— I probably informed you in the last communication to the Argus, that Mr.Dygr, the Sergeant at Arms to the Sen- ate, had gone to New York with a requisition from the select committee of investigation on the publication of the reaty of annexation upon the publisher of the Evening Post, to appear and give testimony in that matter before he committee. On Friday last Mr. Boggs arrived here ir pany with the honorable officer Yesterday the wholr natter came out hetore the commit! The which Mr Boggs printed was probably Mr. ‘Tappan’s hough that Senator’s name was not upon it. It waa taken nesday, the 24th of April. It was laid on the table of the junior editor, Mr Bryant being absent, and when found here by «aid junior editor, this Mr. (Thingimbob) was found in the room, and was known to have just arrived from Washington.’ de respectfully decli iving any reply to the curicu, questions of the jun itor, whose surprise in fiading himself in posseasion of the much co- veted documents was great and unfeigned. A consulta. " d it was resolved, after debate, to publish the affair. natural conclusion was not come to,how ever, until it was thought to have been ascertained that there was another copy in town, and that it was to be issued from the office of the Express on Saturday morning The Washington correspondent of that paper had given his employers information that the: would re ceive acopy on Friday night. This turnad out to be sure to be moonshine, but it turned the scale of delibera- tion, and the treaty and correspondence appeared in the Post of the next day. The actual bearer of the treaty was also discovered by the Sergeant-at-Arms and brought on. His story ugreed in all particulars with that of Mr. Boggs. Mr. Tappan had previously informed the com- mittee by letter of the circumstances under which this SS left this city. The result of the whole matter was that Mr. Boggs and Mr. were dism: ed, and the former has returned home without even being reprimanded. He quietly pocketed his pay and mileage as a witness, some $50, and will probably reach home in timejto attend the last meeting of the old Common Cowncil prior to the advent of Native Americanism. By this it would seem that both partiesin the Senate, whigs and democrats, winked at the theft, and put their fingers on their nose in examining into the facts. Where is the moral principle that used to govern the U. S. Senate? Where is the moral feeling that formerly controlled both parties? What a fearful demoralization we see around us— in all directions—bigotry, violence, intolerance, fanaticism, theft, defaleation, dishonesty, murder, arson, and sacrilege, disgracing all parties, and winked at by all parties. Verily, the end of all things ought to be at hand. 4 Imvorrant From Cuba.—We have received by the Wampanoag, Captain Colson, from Cardenas, some very important intelligence—important to this coun- try. She sailed on the 8rd inst. It seers that the excitement produced by the at- tempted insurrection in all parts of Cuba still pre- vailed, and that arrests continued to be made. An iy | order from the Captain General, had reached Care | denas, direciing all free foreign mulattos and, ne- pay the interest of their public debt. In Philadel- | 8° ( leave the Island within 15 days. The fol- phia, they boast of their morals, peace and s0- briety, yet they permit a mob for three days to shoot, murder, burn, and commit sacrilege, till they be sated with the sport of destruction. What has caused this terrible demoralization in the once respectable and moral State of Penn- sylvania ? Answer—The double corruption and coalition of banking and politics. We do verily believe that the modern system of banking, which is only a system .of fraud, dis- honesty and falsehood, has been one of the two principal corrupting elements of society during these latter days. The other isthe coalition between the politicians and the clergy, which was intended to eontrol the people, in like manner with that be- tween the fiaanciers and the politicians. lowing persons were in prison at that place, upon Suspicion of being concerned in the attempted revolt.

They must take notice, then, or go without their dinner. Settled, Catsaiut. Mountain House.—This heavenly spot ‘snow under the care of Mr. Sco! , who is bury preparing itfor the summer season.

Tue Puitapetrma Riots axp THE Pe {rish journals in this city have come out with some very violent and intemperate articles, in reference to the Philadelphia siots. The Truth Teller hints significantly, after a great deal of furious declama- tion, that “frish Catholics are not less powerful to defend themselves, less ‘courageous, or less in- domitable in defence of their rights than others, and that heaven must bless and strengthen them when their cause is just.” The Volunteer is still more violent. Ii says that the Irish Catholics and their friends ‘‘are prepared” for the worst, and that they “depend upon themselves alone.” Now, ull this ridiculous violence is very repre- hensible and very inconsistent, coming, as it does, from quarters to which much of the terrible ani- mosity that exists isto be traced. It is wellknown that these very papers were instrumental in pro- ducing the evils which we all now deplore. By the organization of the Irish as a class—by the in- troduction into this country of the lowest species of O’Connehism—this dreadful state of things has been chiefly brought about. On the other side, many of the papers are equally violent. Several of the professedly neutral papers in Philadelphia talk of the ‘‘vie- tims,” of the “martyrs? and use various watchwords calculated-to excite bitter feeling, all which, to say the least of it, was wretch ed bad taste. The Daily Sun, of Phila- delphia, in a long article, rips open many of the wounds which humanity and patriotism had closed, and indulges in many remarks which should have been spared. The “American Republican” paper in this city, also, was one day somewhat violent; but the good sense and discretion, no doubt of the members elect of the Common Council and the Mayor, subdued that spirit. But we doubt very much, if the matter had been solely in the hands of the “ Executive Committee,” whether all would have been so peacetul here. It was that Commit- tee which summoned a mass meeting immediately on hearing the news from Philadelphia—a very questionable procedure indeed. Tuurtow Werp on THE PurapeLrnia Riots AND THEIR Cavuses.—Thurlow Weed comes out with an article on this subject, and very properly and forcibly denounces any sectarian organization in this country, exposing in just and appropriate terms the intolerance and iniquity of proscribing any elass of citizens on account of religious opinion. All this sounds very well from Thurlow, but does he know who aided and aasisted in advising Bishop Hughes to organize the Irish in relation to the Does Thurlow know who was the man who advised Governor Seward to introduce that irritating subject of the Bible in the Common Schools into one of his messages ? know who was the man who organized a fanatical party in the western part of New York, against the respectable seciety of masons, because a worthless fellow of the name of Morgan was spirtted away by afew of his passionate associates? Does Thurlow know who was the man that then proscribed and Does Thurlow hunted down some of the best men in Western New York on that ground? Thurlow should look to the safety of his own windows before he picks up round stones to cast a! his neighbor’s. Thurlow sheuld shave and trim his own whiskers, before he attempts to shave and urim the whiskers of others. Sreampoat Racing on THE Noartu River — Something must be done by the proper authorities to put a stop to the steamboat racing on the North River. Scarcely a day passes that the lives of hun- dreds are not placed in imminent danger by this re- prehensable conduct. We have a case or two in point. Two boats, the Troy and South America, were advertised to Jeave for Albany at 7 o’clock on Saturday morning. It wassaid that they intended to tryeach othersspeed, and the excitement of their Captains was so in- tense,that one started at half-past six and the other immediately shot out after her, leaving mails, pas sengers, and every thing else behind them. Luck- ily one broke down and was compelled to return It should be borne in mind that these steamers car- ty the Northern mail, which daily leaves this city, and which, of course, contains letters of importance; yet, notwithstanding this, and their obligations to the travelling public, their owners and commanders pay no sort of attention to any thing but their safe- ty valves, and not often even to them, and to see which will first reach Albany. Such conduct cannot be too loudly condemned, and unless the proper authorities take cognizance ot the matter,and forbid it altogether, we shall hear of an explosion and dreadful loss of life before the summer sweeps by, These steamers run so rapid- ly through the water that they dash over every ob- etacle in their way. Last Thursday night the Al- bany, on her passage up the river, ran over and sauk a sloop in Tappan bay. The crew saved their lives, and barely so, by getting on buard the Albany, which boat afterwards grounded at Castleton on ac- count of the lowness of the water. Again we say,let steamboat racing be strictly for- bidden. Sr. Patrick’s CatuEepraL.—There was a large attendance at this beautiful Catholic editice yester- day, attracted, doubtless, by the additional motive of hearing, as was confidently expected, some al- lusion made to events of late occurrence, of great moment to the Catholic Church in America Bishop McClosky preached a sermon of much power and eloquence,from thel6th chapter of John, 20th and following verses ; and although no direct mention was made to the serious and troubled as- pect of the religious affairs of their brethren in Philadelphia, the appositeness and applicability of the lessons inculeated in the sermon, to those oc- eurrences and afflictions, made it valuable and deeply felt. The subject was prayer. ‘The Bishop reviewed the history of the hnman race, from its pristine simplicity and innocence—when the soul, pure and holy, wasian emanation of the divinity when prayer, praise tude and supreme enjoyment of man, until the pre- sent, when degener: strangement from God, and the turbulence of passion, make the use o} prayer of paramount necessity. The enjoyments of the man of faith and prayer, however obscure, bumble, and unlettered he was, were more intel- lectual, ethereal, more sublime and extatic than all the researches of homan wisdom, the whole arcana of philosophy could supply. Jt was powerful and no less tain. God had not only invited men to ask, seek, and knock to find, but he em- phatically enjoined it as adaty. It embracedall the other virtues; itexcited faith, because it enlarged the desires of the soul; it implies hope, because the promise from heaven had been granted to ns in an more. The soul was a seraphim banished frow heaven and in exile; but prayer was the sure gnide back to the celestial regions, and only comforter. thorns, the persecutions which were stre the way of mortality in the world below.

Some laborers at the cor- ner ran fo their stance, and on arriving at the scene of action two young men were fonnd grap- pling in the area by the basement door. They were soon separated, and on making some inquiries, | learned that there had been an elopement planned and brought to maturity between one of the young gentlemen and one of the ladies; but the arrange- men’s had leaked out through the treachery of « jealous sister of the heraine, a d the other gentle- man was the brother of the ladies, who, anticipa- ting the arrival of the hero of the romance ebour hat time, lay in wait to meet bim; and immedi ately on his approach the enraged brother seized him at the door and commenced beating him, but our bero defended himself with great courage maintaining his ground in front of the house ap daring the brother out. The lady under engage- ment stationed herself by her lover's side, and in the open air they were permitted to hold @ peace- ible conversation for some time, during which, no doubt, new arrangements were made. ‘The father of the lady, an eccentric eld gentleman, had for- bidden the match, tor no other reason than that he was deterisined his daughter should never marry while he lived; but when in his prime, it is a no- torious fact that he eloped with the mother of his daughter, and she, doubtless, thought she had a right to follow her mother’s example. The blowing up of this affair has created some considerable excitement about the neighborhood, and as the parties are all very respectable, it is the general gossip among ull classes What the final result will be I cannot predict, but a lawsuit wall probably be brought ‘for the assault; in the mean- time the two loving hearts will doubtless come to- gether at some ‘more convenient season.” Tur Turatres.—La Sonnambula is to be per- formed at Palmo’s this night. There will be, of couts:,a brilliant house. The excitement in favor of Italian Opera is increasing to an astonishing ex tent amongst fashionable society in this city The opera house is crowded every night with the beauty and fashion of this city, and many lovely belles from other cities. We regret that at the Park the Sequins were se indifferently attended. Mr. and Mrs. Sequin are artists of the highest character; but the Park com- pany was altogether inedequate to give them any support, and the orchestra is miserable. At Palmo’s the orchestra is exceedingly talented. Very sel- dom, indeed, have so many first-rate musiciansbeen collected together in one orchestra. Macready comes here at a very interesting sea- son, and as this. will probably be the last of his en gagements in this country, his admirers will be de sirous to see him. In a theatrical sense, he is the “last of the cocked hats”—the legitimate drami being on its last legs, and that gives additional in- terest to Macready with all the admirers of Shaks peare. He will be followed by Mr. Forrest, and thus we shall have an opportunity of comparing the two greatest tragedians of the time. In the midst of this terrible opera excitement, however, with Ole Bull, Vieux Temps, Wallace, and other great artists inimmediate prospect, the heroes of the sock and buskin are rather unfortunate as t« the season of their appearance, Atthe Chatham, the manager is discovering + very great deul of enterprize and tact.

The great speculations going on infancy stocks, will, in a short time, bring about some still more eurious results. A speculation similar to the one now going on, confined entirely to stocks that are utterly worthless, must, sooner ur lester, reach a crisis and explode ‘There is nothing connected with the ad- vance able to sustain it. It is the result of move- ments made between speculators, leaving no‘hing be. hind showing value. It is a fictitions valne that existe merely on paper, or in the imaginations of afew credu- lona, delnded individuals, During the past weeks good State storks have fluctuated hut very little Ohio and Kentucky 6's have not advanced more than two per cent. The udvance has been entirely confined to fancies. ‘The excitement runs so high in Wall street that every and any expedient is resorted te to raise funds to carry on the game. It hns drawn into the whirlpool many merchante, who have heretofore never meddled with these dangerous things It has ind ced individuals engaged in a regular business to exchange their notes fur the purpose of ob- taining capital and propose tnem for discount at the banks, as business paper. This must sooner or later lead these parties to bankraptcy. Any deviation from ares gular course of trade, by (howe engaged in any pormanent business to take hold of speculations, must produce a ne- glect of one That holding out the best proepects will occupy time and capital, to the injary of the gther — Speculation is apt to projucethie result. The visions of sudden wealth, produced by stock operations, havea very grent influence on the mind, and every thing is abendon- ed during a period of high prices, to attend to this busi- ness. Stock speculations are the usnal resort of those who have tried every ether oecunation and failed. Wall atreet is the resurt of those who have pasted through the bank. ruptlaw When every other expedient has failed, asa dernier reaort, speculation in fancy stocks is resorted to. Their operations are confined to fancies, as it does not ra- quire much capital to carry on extensive movements in auch things. State stocks, and all those of any real vvorth, takes capital to control. The profite arising from speculations are small compared with what it appears on paper. ‘The auccesa of these operations depends upon the number of those who are induced to enter the street and try their luck. Fortunes cannot be made out of each other, as the resources of the whoie cligne, in the oggre- gate, would not amount to a competency.

Lon Island, “ch Mohawk te 10) 9 4 1 Norwich aud Worest’r, y “ This advance varies from ten to twenty-five per eent on. the market prices of the stocks, and from one to three hundred on their actual value. The speculations of the week just closed, seemed to have lost a little of its force, as prices show a@ greater regularity than for the previous week Business in general has become very active. Aly our staple productions are in good demand, and prices are very steady and remunerating. There is not the slightest symptom of speculation-in any thing connected with trade. Credits are extended on avery liberal scale, and purchasers pay up pretty well. The country merchant comes to the city with the intention of laying in a mode- rate supply of new goods, but finds it impossible to resist the inducements hel out to purchase extensively. There is a system of business carried on by the jobbers of this sity that should be exposed. A country merchant, for in- stance, is in the habit of purchasing his dry goods of a ertain house. This house makes arrangements with Jealors in hardware, crockery, groceries, &c.,to intro- duce customers at a stipulated per cent per dollar on what they purchase. The country merchant—particular- ly it he is a stranger—ia very thankful for introduc- tions, where itis represented he can purchase cheaper than in any other place in New York, and becomes tho victim of the individnal in whom he places the greatest confidence The dealer to whom these customers are in- troduced, knowing the per cent their custom costs them, pats it upon the goods they puruhase—that is, add it to their regular profits in their charges—and they are made to pay the per cent that goes into the pockets of their friends, who have their interests so much at heart. In- s ead of there being that mutual exchange of customers, or instead of leaving the country merchant to seck out these houses, whose economy, &c , enables them to sell at the 37 allest profits, they are induced by false representations, to confine their purchases to a clique who have combined for the purpose of enabling them to secure all the trade ple, and to establish their own prices. ‘The capitals of several of the banks of Pennsylvania having recently been reduced, the per cent dividends pub lished a few daye since do not indicate the amount of divi- dends declared, ‘The annexed statement shows the amount paid on each share ef stock :— Southwark Bank...

The vote to lay the bill on the table was reconsidered, and the result has reached the ex- pectations ot those most friendly to the modifications pro- posed. The bill had lost all party prejudices. A union of thetwo great parties created the present tariff, anda union of the same parties prevented its repeal, or the sub. atitution of one possessing more moderate restrictions The protective features of the present act met with favor from both parties, and the time has har'ly yet arrived for its friends fo abandon them. At present this isnot the great question dividing the friends of the political leaders of the day. Another has sprung into existence absorbing the surplus of political capital out of which both hope to se cure the majority. On the eve of a Presidential cam} paign, the party opposed to the tariff act, as it now exists, do not deem it sound policy to destroy a mea- sure that ia popular with many States on which the party have placed great reliance. The question of annexation, will, undoubtedly, absorb ail others. This will divive partiet mare distinctly, as it is evidentiy the intention to make that the issue.
