The Effects of the Tariff.
By the Report from the Secretary of the
Treasury (published in another part of
this paper) it will be seen that our exports
during the last quarter of the year 1842,
exceed the imports by upwards of THIR
TEEN intmoss of dollars. The specie im
ported during the same period exceeds
three millions. Who can doubt that this
is the effect of the Tara law enacted b)
the late Congress? A nd yet this very
Tariff, which has produced so great a bal
ance of trade in our favor, is in danger of
being repealed if the Locofoco party gain
the ascendency in the next Congress.—
Repeal was threatened when the Whig
majority passed it, and many of the Lo
cofocos stand pledged to its repeal as soon
as they get the power.
Every farmer, and every man of busi
ness knows that in order to prosper-, his
income must be greater than his eapendi.
tures—that he must sell more than he
buys.. And just so it is with the Govern
ment. The Tarilrhas already efFected
Inetteu ,o'go on mur a low years, allied by
a wholesome circulating medium, it would
soon restore prosperity to the country.—
Ila t if the '•tree trade" and "hard money"
doctrine is to prevail, we will set., by dear
bought experience, that the trade as well
as the money will all be on one side amid
that against its.
Distressing Case ofSeduction,
Insanity and Death.
The Towanda (Bradford county) pa• I
pert contain accounts of a most aggravated
case of seduction in the village of Wysox,
in that county. The facts of the case
seem to be, that abbot a y ear ago a man
of respectable appearance, named LEFA.
you?, came to Wysox, in the character of
a Presbyterian preacher. lie adduced
evidence of good character, and was re
tained as pastor of the church in that
place. Some time afterwards, informa•
tion was received to the effect that lie had
been expelled from the church in Connec
ticut, and that lie was nut an unmarried
man, as he had represented himself.—
Upon this information lie was immediately
silenced as a preacher ; yet several fami
lies in Wysox and vicinity believed him
innocent of the charges preferred against
him, and permitted his visits. Among
these was a respectable family of the '
name of Woodburn. Mr. Woodburn—
his wife—and a lovely daughter—compri
sing the whole family--had been conver
ted under Mr. Lefavor's preaching. He
continued intimate with the family—and
under the garb of christianity, slowly but
surely set a snare for the daughter,. and
she became the seducer's victim Oa the
18th of February she gave birth to a
daughter. Mr. Woodburn, who was ill at
the time, on receiving information of the
disgrace of his family, heaved one deep
groan, and expired immediately. It is re
ported that the wife and the daughter are
both deranged, anti the child died a few
days after its birth. The inhuman crea
lure who caused all this wretchedness is
lodged in prison to await his trial. As
may naturally be supposed, this case has
produced much excitement in the neigh
borhood of the parties most deeply con
cerned.
THE RED RIVER FLOOD.—The South
ern papers give a melancholy account of
the loss of life and property b 3 the rise in
the Red River. Amid the general dis

the sufferers every possible succor in his
power, oing from place to place picking
