We have copied the title page of this book, in full,
as giving some idea of its character. It purports-to
be the autobiography of 'a woman, at one time sunk

became a virtuous and cxer9lary I member of coin,

publication of this work—anonymous and power

, !.Surely there / should be.no disagrees ent
between Repu,blicaus as to the Tariff. W hat
ever may beiny man's theoretical views .of
',Free Trade, we are agreed that there is
;Mi•prospect of:the adoption of the' policy of
unrestricted cornmercial intercourse by civil-
Lized nations during thelifetime of any of us;
'and no 'one, I believe, prpposes the adoption
of that policy by the United States without
,4ho concurrence of other: nations. Certainly
,I do not. lam a practical than, and wish to
'Anita\ practical views--of this :Tariff question,
every other,,,avoiding ultraism in every
direction. 1 know `that we have always had
a tariff. I know that'we have never had a
horizontal tariff, unless'the Compromise act
of 1833 may be called such. .1 know that
for a long time to come, arid perhaps as long
as our Union shalLendure -we, shall have a
ttir!iff. - Now, - these things being so, I - am•
clearly of. Opinion' that tariff laws, like, all.
other law* should' be so framed as \to 416 as
much good and as little harm as pciasibler;
and I am, therefore, in favor of such discrith
'nations as will best secure and promote .the
interests of labor—of our own_ labor—and
the general well-being of our own peuple.-,\
Nuinan, in my judgment, des2rves thenaine
of an American statesman who would.nut so

During the temPorarialisenee of Dr. Pom

evening, and was accosted by . k well-dressed
Jemale, and at her request accompanied' . het
-to her While in the parlor, in .con:
versation with her, a man came in, and under
the threat of exposure, forced him to- sign a

[ a fresh field, his. literary labors.. The fruits*
of the inspiration which he derived from the

:t.ures of Captain Bonneville,': and t. variety
of contributions to the Wnickeebpcker . Maga

'pleasant reading, but scarcely adequate to
