which he states that the Gover4ment and the Peo

he says, by the Banks—but we' say, by fhe demon
spirit of Locofocoism, which likas swept the !Allele
length 'and breadthof our countrif, hurling destruction
and desolation• in every quarter.- We thank the
Hon. Secretary for this report at this time. It will
be very appropriate as an epit4h be.inseribed
over th; tomb of expiring Lo'Lof4coisrn.
if any person hal any honey to invest; let

Tax TAM/F.—The Richmom i l l (Va.) Whig has.
broken ground-in favor of -a
-protective tariff. The
editor says— ,, Men's opinions ha?e - undergone in the
South, and aro now undergoing,• great changes in
respect to the tariff: They' contrast the present with
the past; and the comparison is ih favor of protect
ing their own manufactures. We believe we truly
stated public opinion when we said, that Our Okla.-
lions to the tariff were political, tot economicaly-r
-that the true objections to it were, first, the hostility
of sections to a ; and, secondly, 4its Lability to pro
duce.a redundant treasury."
In a very few years, the wholeiSouth will be tariff

a few politicians can arrange their business. All
right, however. Why do the people send politicians
to Harrisburg to make laws for them? If they' are
too lazy towor), and cannot beisupporta in any
other way, let an Asylum be pioVided. for tliem, and

The property is delightfully sitoated on the banks
of the . Schnylkill, commanding a most picturesque
view of its termination in: the river Delaware ; and
for the purpose for which it has been used during
the last century, is certainly one of the handsomest
situations in the counoi. of Philadelphia.
For a cemetery it Oresents superior - advantages.
The grounds being already handsomely laid out and
stocked with the best and largest, variety of shrub.

require little or no expense to convert into a place
suitable for the purpose. The mansion house can,
at a very trifling expense be conve:ted into a chapel.
And the extremely low price at which it will be of
ferred for the purpose, will bring it within the reach
of any one of the numerous religious bodies in the
city of Philadelphia who want a place for burial.
The road being good it is easy of access at all seas•
uns of the year. Thereis a good stone quarry, and
excellent sand and gravel on the property.
The improvements consist in a stone mansion
house fronting on the river, a good barn, outbuild
