The .Tarlffs of 1518 and ISIG. •
'While we :freely acknowledge that there are
several things in the Tariff of 1848 to which we
are seriously opposed, yet we cannot hide from
ourselves many most important defects and ine
qualities in that of 1842. Our objections to these
inequalities are certainly not at all diminished by
the consideration that they operate most severe:
ly upon the farming portion of the community, I
and upon those who, from disposition or necessity,
are in the habit of practicing economy in their
style of living. We cannot shut our eyes to the
fact that many articles which are used exclusively
by the wealthy, are much more lightly taxed by
the tariff. of 1842, than are those articles of prime
necessity which are used byl,ll.
" Thus, by the tariff of 1812, rrussels,
and all the.highest priced carpets pay a duty of
from 12 to 20 per cent. while all the low priced
covets ate taxed JO per cent. This objection is
cured, by the tariff of 1346.
The tariff of 1842 levies a uniform duty of
$2,50 per pound on all silks, be their quality what
it may. By the operation of this rule many of the
light fancy silks, more generally worn by the
rich, were aamitted into the country charged with 1
a duty of even less than 10 per cent., while the
strong, heavy silks worn by 'others are charged
with a duty perhaps exceeding even 50 per cent — 1
This is improved in the new tariff by a uniform du
ty of 25 per cent; so that the price of the fancy
silks will be increased, and that of the substan
tial silks diminished.
ip relation to muslins and cotton prints. we find
the tame unjust distinction in the tariff of. 18.12,
laying a largely higher duty ,apon the low priced
goods than on the finer ganlii, less commonly used.
Large iron screws, called wood screws, pay a
duty,of 12 cts. per lb. (perhaps over 100 per, cent.)
while all screws of the finer kind, and which would
afford employment to countless inure trork - mcn, are
subject only to 30 per cent.
Besides; the tariff of 1812, in many important
items, discriminates most seriously against I f 2bar.—
The article of iron is the raw material Of many
of our "most important branches of industry, em
ploying innumerable workmen in all partS of the
country.. This raw material.comes into the hands
of the manufacturer of axes, adzes, hatchets, plane
irons, socket chisels, vices cutting knives, sickles,
sciAb.ea, spades, shovels, steelyards, scale beams,
in (act, cutlery of all kinds, taxed with a duty of
7.5 1 40 100 per cent., while they are themselves
by duties of only 30 per cent., and yet
,compete with the foreign manufac
fair and just?.

. . . .
Ceisx.rr.rstniv.:-..-tnur interrOgatories propounded
to the different candidates. were issued friain - the
preis during my absence at Washington. - My
many engagements since my.ieturn, have prevem
ted an earlier reply. ...Addres4d as they are to me,
by a respectable portion of my fellow citizens, I
respond to them with pleasure.
The proper mode of disposing of the Public
lands, no as to promote in the !highest degree the
public prosperity, is - a questioh of the deepest im
portance to the American people. To place them
in market to be sold to those who can have no
motive for purchasing, but pOuniary speculation,
is, in my judgment, pregnant with evil, and can
contribute nothing to the public good.
Thereby the best lands, rino particularly those
esaseairligh=dlutelys contlg j pousi st-cra• - 77•-•-r• - •
thins of the country, gcome stunilii.ed bY . ea-pi
talists, who permit them to lie idle until the in
crease of population by the influx of emigrants, en
hances their value, and enables a few to amass fin,.
tunes by mere lapse of time. j Besides, it imposes
ninny and ardictive burdens upon the actual settler, i
retards the growth of our splendid public domain,}
and diminishes the productive wealth of the Re-1
public. I .
All history proves that a Nation is most pros 7 1
perons, powerful and happy, hvhen its soil is pos
sessed in not greatly unequal! parts by au industri
ous people who till their own lands, and enjoy the
productions of their own lab Or.
Entertaining these views,ll. do not hesitate to
say, that the public lands sh&ild not be held by
the Government as a some+ of speculation, but
should be laid off in small ;perms under general
and equitable regulations, for the use of actual set
tlers, subject only to the paytnent of a sum, stall-,
cient to reimburse the GovC‘rnment for surveys,'
and other necessary expendilures. Every • Ammi- i
can citizen can then hare a birth-right inalienable,_
except by Isis own folly et.d extravagance, and
;:stoner intelligence and the National strength`
moved be soon greatly augmented.

To 'TsAortens.—ln remodeling this work it has
been attempted, first, - to introduce among others as
many primitive words as Use' space would-.allow,'
and then, in 'subsequent lessons, to illustrate by
examples and rules tho_formation of the more im
portant derivatives. To the latter - subject about
thirty lessons are exclusively devoted, and on this
point this book is believed to be more copious and,'
particular than any, in•
: common use. Ai. thesti
rules and illustrations are so full, many words of
this class have been deenaed unnecessary.- On the
last page the rules for derivatives - have been gen
eralized and extended, so as-to include all the more'
important classes of words. •
In spelling and pronouncing, the authority of Dr.
Webster has been chiefly followed, although in some
cases, as in the third sounds of e, o and e, and in
a few individual words, that of Worcester hashein
considered more in accordance with common usage,
