Modification of the Tariff.

It is said by those who pretend to know, that 4be
saggestionsOf the - Secretary of the Treasury in, ro
tation to a modification of the Tariff of 1840, t , so
as to increase . the duty on -Iron and other arti
cle:ale per.cent., will no doubt Ise adopted by Oen
gress. 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. Of course they were opposed
tinktepeal of the Tariff of 1842, because, while
It was-in:existence they detived Immense pouts.

‘that hisn-eotopelled to relax its businels in ,

`stately :the anticipated evils.. were never realized.
The-still 'of prosperity shone brighter than' ever.
;Tbe-old. Iron manufacturing establishments were
tinable . tit supply . the demands upon them, and in
, tbe cery-face of the ruinous Tariff- of '46, new es

Afanufacturcrs are now protected 30
-. per cent. or $3O on $lOO. Some think tiviS is not
- AvArrefent-perhapa it is not. It is proposeito add
10. Percent more protection, 0r.40 cents on every
.
Will _even this satisfy the excessive lore
entertained by some men? 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! I Perhaps
- notion of ours may be toaradical, but we are
sciUing to stick to it until we find argtintents to
. •
,- camvince its that we are wrong.
:, IfCongress think.that the interests oflthe cotpt
. I,iff..iequire that, additional protection should be
- -Afforded to our manufacturers, and pass a law to
then ej:.lcc shall insist upon it that ere-1
'lll Manufacturing (stir/Irishman' shall forthwith 61, 1
:--- eitatre the wages of their hands. Is this . not fair?
Jeitnot right! Is it not equitable? Why should
~.notthe employed be protcried as well as the ern
.. •
- PlOyerl It was the remark of a very sensible
- that "the mechanic is •to society .what the
. .
' I main spring is to the watch' " and yet he has ner
, er heen half paid for his labor, while hid employer \
,; - becomes wealthy in consequence of that labor,
qUndital by the protecting hand of government.,
!-Iyet•repeat it, we shall never consent to auy change'
: - '„inAltke Tariff unless it benefits the mechanic and
':.:laborer.as well as the manufacturer and employer.

. ',.lrrithren of the press?—the Democratic press we
~reart—for the federal editors are joined to their
and wepaust let Item al 31.1_
'l:Oahe...Editor of the Gazette is an Mcceedingly
eitnning man! 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

.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. Taylor, gives
the following statement as being more correct:
" Tampico is in 22° 40'. 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."

that the Tariff is• likely to produce any great

of no stoppages : the stocks of most of the coin
panies are above pat: there is a ready market for
all their goods, and new Is - ork?are going into op

Massachusetts on Saturday last, we find, among the

secret business done under false dames, but in open
day, and for a good purpose, viz. the supply of
hungry appetites on the other side, and the mak

people of Jersey will not be alarmed, though thou

Papers on Progress---Do. 3.
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. S. F.

Just think of it, sir! The Old Wards have their,,
