TEA AND COFFEE The Pennsylvanian attacks us upon what it considers our defence of the duties on "tea - and .c . offee ;." but. it neglects_ to...state, the case as we put it, and as it now stands, viz:. that. he . wasteful extravagance of the Locofoco Adininistrations had rendered ne cessary some additional income to the trea sury.. Protective . duties had for a time become unpoprilar, and seemed partly barred by the compromise act, and both• parties joined to include tea and coffee .a :bong the articles with lowest duties. A prominent and valuable Whig, Mr. Law rence, of Washington county, it will be re collected, opposed the • measure. While we•write this, we find; in . the Portland Ad- Vertiser an argument on the same, subject, a portion of which we press into out. set.?
