We formed the helief , that the SO per chid. protection *tied by the present Tariff law, was imply,atiTtcient.-_ We arrived at this conclusion from that; since the new Tariff wedt Into opeiMion, tlie country has prospered beyond all pieCiaent. Even tbe Iron Manufacturers tbern . 54mi:titre told us repeatedly that they percOlved atilt.' the slightest injury done to their business by ,tise icrifr of '4O.

It may or. it "may...not.. It is hard to tell. Some of the , federal _''iiditists;We perceive, are not satisfied with the pro ;lased" ehange, and nothing will suit theai but a alltorstion of the Tariff of 1842. But thelfedertl - always used the Tariff question as a bob- Vy.to: Oreate political capital for themselves; and telt:ice; they are fearful if Congress increases the! ;, proti „„ . .promotion to oar manufacturers, their political capital will be taken from them This tariff ghee- I .-- fion should have nothing to do with party politics. :We es sincerely wish to see prosperity attend eve-1 ty.brancb of American industry, as any man pos-1 iibly Can. but we - never could seti any good reason ' , —why-one class of citizens should be specially selec : *l - ia the recipients of government fat - ors and to the exclusion of another!

He says . we have " denounced the -'!ebieracteriand depreciated the services and abilb' of ilea. Taylor. This is not so. 1 We , never ..--9i.denOcuacid the character" of Gen. Taylor; and i instead - of depreciating his services; ; ' we have 1 .prObably said more in praise of him in that respect, '.,,,hariAbe.Gasette. Again says the Gaaette: " The -- 1 - qiditisr of the Post opposes. him [Gen. , Taylor] Lc valise he is a. whig; and not in good odtr with our Locoloco administration." This is not. rue either. ..' : While Gen. Taylor was fighting for his country, i '_'we never to what political Party he be. ; longed—nor did we know. We alwdys raid he „ r wasa brave soldier an& true patriot,' and we re. oieed• when we heard he:was promoted by the ,President. We did not approve sof the capital?, . • • - ticin of Monterey, but we deemed it prudent at the *time to say nothing about the matter,. as we were unwilling to impugn the motives of one of our Country's Generals, particlarly wheniwe were not ,acquainted with all the facts and: circumstan ear. But we .I:rve spoken, although reluctantly, against General TATLOWS conduct in writing to 'a private individual a detailed account of •his - plans, purposes and feelings, and we have also spoken of the equally reprehensible con. .....duct of that individual in giving such pri-1 vate letter to the public. We have also spoken' - -agairtat the conduct of a few individUals who are endeavoring to bring out Gen. Taylor as a candi date for the Presidency. Such a movement, if ap proved of by Gen. Taylor, is calculated to injure birtrin the estimation of ever? good citizen. It will detract from the honor and glory of his vie - 'tones. We have no objections, after the war is ended.,.. for Gen. Taylor to take the stump, and •.t-fight :his battles o'er again,' but We do object to = 7-iirn playing the politician at presdnt Will the .

New York Journal of Commerce in correct ing a publication made by Benjamin Lundy, in the St. Louis Union, in relation to the latitude of Vic torit4now in the poiiession of Gen.

So if Victoria is in 22° 'SO% it must be nearly due W. from Tampico, \ Which, (it being distant 200 Miles from the latter,) would place it about in the centre of the State of San Luis Potosi. Instead of being 03 miles S. of Santander, we suspect it is 63 miles N., or rather N. N. W., in latitude about 24°, where we find on a Map recently published by Cowperthwaite & Co., of. Philadelphia, (compiled chiefly from a Map I of the London Society for Promoting Useful Know ledge,) the town of "Aguayo," which is doubtless the same as Acquallo with a different orthograplty,l and the same which is now called Victoria. From this point to Tampico, the course of Col. Kinney 1 via-Soto la Marina, would not be very far from direct-, but if Victoria were 03 miles South of Santander, to go thence to Tampico via Soto Is' Marina, would be like going from New York to Philadelphia via New Haven." —) I il-;The Catholics arc about to erect a new About Face. - 1 The >logical Seminary, in the vicinity of Cincin- The Niles (Michigan) Courier, edited by J. :\ I ; nati.

A knowledge of our correct relationship to la-, bar, is certainly of the.most vital and paramount importance We are beginning to emerge front the stolid lethargy and inconsiderateness of custom, to .` thrust away the prescriptions of tyranny and to ' cherish bright impels for the Future—hopes that proceed from faith in the goodness of - the Deity- 1 the auspices of the times and in the gradual but vigorous development of .progress. The know Ili•dge of our correct relationship to the Dig inity of Labor, in conjunction with obedience to its requisitions, is essential to the full development of our physical ' and moral and intellectual capacities. Igaavia corpus habetat, labor:firma', n rt.sua. It was solely designed for the invigoration of', our physical and mural and intellectual constim I tious, and that system which excludes it flora the; accomplishment of to wise and munificent an in -1 teation. which prostitutes it to servility, and which' necessitates it to undergo abuse and hardships and debasement, is radically injurious and destructive. It is an exploded hypothesis that Labor is irreme-1 diably 'the creature of necessity. The system which recivnizes this hypothesis, degrades Labor, inasmuch us it alerts it from its legitimate pm pose. These ,iellections give rise to a plain and infinitely more congenial doctrine : if is a duty and the system which strips it of this ennobling featurs,l and puts it in the ponter of coercion and duplicity,l exposes it to destitution and to crime, its inVaria-I hle concomitant ; and which enriches the indoleni and the supercilious at its expense and deprivation, is assuledly most degrading to humanity and moo. insulting to llcace fry '' that description is - sperat mg in our rads:, and it is our imperiuus duty I to contribute all the assistance our means will ad-1 mit of,'lo bring about its speedy and efficient abol- I ishment. We see our brethren actually compelled' to engage themselves in the severest labor, or else starve and die—compelled to labOr too km; or be dismissed from employutent—compelled to take a small, niggardly reinuneention, to neglect inteltec teal culture, to paralyze their energies, and to short en their lives. Du they. undertake to assert their righteous claims. to protest against oppression, and to announce their determination to be emanci pated from the galling thraldom of their taskrnas feta. They are laughed, jeered at ; their presump tion, forsooth, is unwarrantable interference, and— the millocracy triumph! ,Never was a suggestion more just, more urgently demanded, or Inoreks• dirioits than this: let the labor-deprecinting system be either entirely abolished or materially modified. In case of its aboli shmenf or its modification, crime would be diminished, the arts and sciences would be more exten.sit ely and profitably cultivated, atid men would be incalvit:ably mote happy and con tented.
