A REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
We are well aware that but lew persons who
know any thing about the economy of govern
ment, give the slightest credence to the asser
tion that the present stringency in money mat
ters is attributable to the want ola high tariff
and, therefore, we do not intend, in this article
to attempt to argue the question whether, oi
not, thai assertion is well-founded. We know
that the men who preach that doctiine, an
ct cor us prove theiw i^
movement can never be
nationalized, that the interests of three-fourths
of the Southern States, ot the whole ot the fit. at
V\est, and of all the New England Stales stand
in direct antagonism to that movement, and
that, consequently, the theory of the "Protec
tionists" can never be made a plank in the plat
form ol any National Party. v\ ere rt our pur
pose to deny and disprove the doctrine that the
"hard times have been caused by a low Tar
iff, we would simply refer the gentlemen who
promulge that doctrine, to the fact that the
"hard times" are not confined to this country
alone, but that there is the same financial dis-
tress in foreign countries, which, according lo
the Hrotictionists, reap such incalculable bene
fits from our low Tariff; we would tell them
lot the inflali.ui ot our currency, by the reckie-..,
establishment of numerous worthless banks
which flooded the country with their issues,
inducing the blindest and mist infatuated specu
lation, from which resulted the great crisis that
last year closed nearly every bank in the U
nion, and prostrated the business of the coun
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But we
shall content ourselves with merely giviur f
our honest conviction as to the kind of a Tariff
which the present condition of our country de
mands. We conceive it to be the rc-es/üblishment
of the Democratic Tar if of 18 Id. Bet t In-
Black Republican Taritf, which has been in
force since I .>• Spring of Ib:>7, be done away
with, ami let that inaugurated during the Pre
sidency ol tiie lamented Polk, be restored.
Under that Tariff our country fl nirished am!
prospered, and the revenues of the Govern*! en! '
were al ways sutici~nl Indefrav its expenses.
It was only after the ruthless hand of Black Re
publicanism, steeped in corruption and stained
with bribery, had torn this enactm-*nt from the
statute book, that our laiiff regulations were
complained of. L- 1 those who choose, contin
ue to believe in the sublimated philosophy oI
the Protecti mists, l"t them follow blindly
in the lead of demagogues who cry out for a
"high tariff," to t.ckir the ears of "certain men
whose votes they want ; as for ouiselves, w.-
are willing to be taught by experience, and.
therefore, when we see that, the Tariff of 181b
operated to the benefit of our whole country,
we are in favor of its restoration by the next
Congress.
We publish on our outside, this week,
toe argument c f Judge Black before the Supfeme
Court i f this State, in the case of the Sunburv

THE OVERLAND MAIL ROITE.
When the Atlantic Telegraph Ct'l -* was laid,
the whole countrv was {1 led with excitement;
but it seems that events c>l greater moment
to our country than the laving of the cable, may
transpire without disturbing, in tile least, the
customary placidity o! the public, mind. We
have Jate|v had some evidence of this in the
.successful establishment ol an overland mail be
tween tlie Atlantic State? and California. —
Tvventv vars ago this would have been con
sidered an rndi risking r, taw hit less stupendous
'ban that "f c innectirig the Eastern and B e>-
tern continents with a Telegraph wire. Then
the wild b~ar avid the wilder and more savage
Indian tie 1 I undisputed sway where now the
i mail agent prosecutes his daring enterprise. 1 hen
I iiie passes of the Rocky At >untains were known
Jiifilv to the wandering tr.ipper and the wild
I seeker alter adventure, and the man who would
i then have predicted that in the year of grace,
j 1858, the U. S. Mail would he carried through
those dangerous defiles, would have stood a good
chance of being enrobed in a straight jacket
and sent (o the Lunatic As\ lum. But,
• 'Westward the Star of Empire took its way .
Under the wise and patriotic policy of Mr.
PolL's Administration, ntir government
acquired (lie golden Slate of ( alilbrnia and the
rich conntrv that lies between it an 1 the Rocky
J| imtdins. Soon tne tide of emigration turned
toward the newly acquir* d territory. 1 s settle
ment progressed with astonishing rapidity. Cities
sprung up as if by tragic and village after vil
age dotted its fertile valleys. Put there was
one tiling wanting which t.> the people of that
country as well as to the whole nation, was a
matter of the greatest importance, viz: direct
communication between the Pacific territory
and the Atlantic Slates. This want is not yet
fully supplied and will not he except by the
| building of the proposed Pacific Railroad. Pot
the success of the Overland -Mail project will go
I far in that direction. It will not only make
ihe communication between California and this
country speedier and cheaper, hut it will be
| the foierunner of that great work which is des
tined ere long to bind tog -lher with bands of
iron the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The Over
land Mail will be the precursor of the Pacific
-Railroad. The n.ilitaiv posts which are to be
ereeled fbr its protection, will be the nuclei of
a chain of settlements which will at once mark
the route for the gnat railroad. Resulting
from this, vv ill be the settlement of Northern
Texas and the opening up of a new state in that
extensive and fertile wilderness. For the ex
ecution of this eminently judicious plan, the
nation is indebted to the Administration of
; James Buchanan and the time will come when
the people of these United States will join in
ascriptions of honor and praise to the President
whose far-seeing statesmanship not only preser

North and the South, but likewise Urged the

I | *ioi k, owing to the ascendency of
tlie Abol ition-Republican | arty in that State,
negroes are allowed to vote. The negro popu
lation is sufficiently numerous to hold tire bal
ance of power and the politicians previous to
the elections, vie with tach other in bidding for
their votes. At the election which came off
J on Tuesday last, there were four candidates for
Clove, nor , Smith, Jibolitlo/iisl and '/emperunce,
Moigan, Hindi A 1 ejjublican, Burrows, %/lmeri

negro vote was CJS! almost exclusively for

I loin this it would seem that the n. groes pre

Abolitionists.

will do us much good. Our heavy gains in

1 notice in the last number
of the "Bedford Inquirer," an at tit le headed ,
"Correction," in which the editor of that paper
admits that he told a deliberate falsehood when
he made the charge tliat Jacob Berkley's prop
erty was once in the hands of the Sheriff, It
is not at all surprising that such an admission
!is made now that the election is over and the
slan ler has done Mr. Berkley all the harm it j
could. A politician lhat would stoop to such;
base means to defeat a better man than lie is
himself, is unwoithy of any decent name, ant!
the editor that blackens his sheet w ith such
shameful, bold, and bate ficed lying, will not
be believed herealter, however positive he may
make his false assertion-. Let it he remember
ed by the people of Bedford county, how this
unblushing falsifier tied for the purpose of beat
ing Mr. B<ckley, and that he acknowledges
that he did so. I can assure him lhat it will
never be forgotten in St. CLAIR.

$/,500,000. When the stoppage occmred, it
was soon seen that the whole of that property
was swept away, and that those who had noth

was hoped, however, that Ihis would be the
worst. Iti a little further time it transpired
that there would be a deficiency of $1,5<10,000,
in addition to the loss of the w hole capital. A
call of sl-25 per share was accordingly enforced
on all who had anything left. This was final

and it was supposed that it there should hap-I

WASHINGTON, October 31,1858.
By James Buc/hinnn, President of the I nited
S'a/en of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, Information has been received
from sonrcs which 1 cannot di-regard,' ti it cer
tain prisons, in violation of the Neutrality Laws
of the United State., are tna'-in® at ird attempt
to set on foot a military expedition within this
territory, against Nicaragua, a foreign Slate,
with which th y are at peace. In order to raise
money lor equipping ami maintaining this < j>< —
iii;ii>ll persons connected therewith, as I have
reason to believe, have issued and sold bonds,
am! other contracts, pledging the public lands
ol Nicaragua, and the liansit Route through ,
its ten itoty, as a security lor their redemption
1 and fulfilment. The hostile design ol tins r\pe
i di l ion is rendered mamtest by the tact tnat these
' bonds and contracts can be ol no p >ssibie value
! to their holders unless the present Government
'ol Nicaragua can he overthrown by lorce.—
1 Resides the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
PlenijKiimtiaiy ol that Government in the U
nited States, has issued a notice in pursuance of
(lis instructions, dated the 27in fot ndding
I the citizens or subjects of any nation, except
' passengers intending to pass through Nicaragua
over the Transit R >ute Irom ocean to ocean, to
enter its territory without a regular passport
signed by the pioper .Ministeror Consul-General
ol the Republic, resident in the country Irom
whence they snail have departed. Such per
sons with this exception, w ill be stopped una
compelled to return by the same Conveyance
that took them to the country.
From these circumstances Ihe inference is ir
resistible that the persons engaged in this expe
dition will leave the United Ntales with hostile
purposes against Nicaragua. They cannot un
der Hie guise which ttiey have assumed, that
they are p-acelul emigrants, conceal their teal
intentions, and especially when they know in
advance their landing will be resisted, and can
onlv be accomplished ty an overpowerii g loice.
Tins expedient was successfully resorted to pre
vious to the last expedition, and the vessel in
which those composing it were conveyed to
Nicaragua, obtains J a clearance from the Col-
I. clor ol the Port ol Mobile. Although, after
a careful examination, no arms ot munitions of
war were discovered on boaid, yet when they
arrived at .Nicaragua, they were found tobear
med and equip, ed, and immediately commen
ced hostilities. The leaders ol the former ille
gal expeditions of the same character, have open
ly expressed their intentions to renew hostili
ties against Nicaragua. One of them, who has
already been twice expelled from Nicaragua,
has invited through the public newspapers,
American citizens to emigrate to that Repub
lic, and has dasigned Mobile as the place of
rendezvous and departure, and San Joan del
Norte as the port to which they aie bound.—
This person who has renounced his allegiance
to the United States and clam s to be the Pre
sident of Nicaragua, lias given notice to the
Collector of Mobile that two or three hundred
of these emigrants w ill he prepared to embark
from the port about the middle of November.
For these and other good reasons, and lor the
purpose of saving American citizens who may
have been honestly deluded into the belief that
thev are about to proceed to Nicaragua as peace
! fol emigrants, if such t!■• be. IrmreJtu '' '•**-

country. Even the Suitan of Turkey, who is
popular!y .-opposed to have unbounded Wealth
a' his disposal, is "hard up." All departments
of the goveroments have stopped th-ir works.
Even Uie Arsoi-al* wnich commenced a di v dock
has dismissed its workmen, and entered upon
measures ol economy. He has tried to reduce
the expenses ol his harem !y curtailing the ex
travagance ol the inmate*, but to littie or no
purpose: And he has removed his sons-in-law
fjom ofiice, and in v aidons <th r ways endeav
ored t > inculcate economy. His sons-in-law
and daughleis ir.ust he provided for, and the
ladies of hi* nno household can make such out
lays as th y please and he must foot the bill.—
lie wiil probably find that his sudden and ex
treme corns? will prove to have been the most
impolitic he could have adopted—lor he will
fail in his own schemes, and his example wiil
neither be respected nor lollowt d by bis peo
ple.
j 17-N ever since the world was made wa
I there a political party occupying so anomalous
j a position as the "Opposition," "Fusion," "A
--j maliiamation,"or "Peoples Partv." Never be
fore were such incongruous elements brought
together. Entertaining sentiments as widely
I separated from each other as the poles still the\
: hill and coo, bargain and sell, quarrel and fight,
j all at the same time. They have hut one idea'
jin common, and that is which shall get the
; greatest share of the loaves and fishes. To this
I end they wheedle and wlnne; hug, kiss, squeeze
nd embrace, cry, laugh, sing, and dancej pru\
and suare; and, in fa<t, do anything and ev
erything that they fancy may tend to the un
se'fish end at which they aim. But the most
singular part of the whole affair is, that nolw ith
standing lh< ir colia<ion, tfiey all seem to be
ishamrd of each other's company. Tell one
branch of the precious Amalgamation that it is
a friend and associate with the others, a id you
are forthwith denounced as a liar, a knave, and
a scoundrel ! A magnificient party vetily !
Patterson Democrat.
Then and !Now.
j Previous to the lav election, the organs of
the Opjxisition party harped contmiially upon
; the ideUria* the business of the country was
! destroyed —that the Iron manufacturers hat!
heen ruined by Democratic policy ; and that
! President Ruchanan's Administration had pro-
I duced nothing but ruin and distress. Now,
I when the el. ction is over, and the end desired'
, by those who published these charg-s is ac
j complished, the tune is changed, and the whole
. columns of their papers are filled with g'owmg
j accounts of the prosperity of business—of large
j Don establishments going into operation, and
of the good times dawning upon us generally.
W hat has produced the u tden change ? Cer
tainly not (lie policy of the R. publicans, lor
thev are not yt in power. Hut the f J( t is that
the hue and < rv about distress, and the prostra- !
•ion of business, was raised merely to deceive
Ihe people , n to the supjjort of Republicanism,
and the object being secured, the facts need no
longer he perverted. How long wiil the people
be deceived by these dishonorable tricks of sche
