U nt IwilKl rlffi-ril-fl Till V have so often heard the cry of .Land ilo! when no Iar.d was visible, thot llu-y begin to think there is to bo no lund any more Yet we trust llwy will allow us to believe and endeavor to show, thin the da rkr-sf hours , ore past, and that, q brighter day ut M dawns on ,uur tongvsufcriifg cmuiiry. Yet it must not bo concealed thut there arc still formidable obstacles to the complete rcestablishmenl ul our naimnal prosperity The want of an odequato and uniform na. tioiml currency is, lor two years ul least, iuj.urmount.tblo. The partnership, of Ty Icrism and Loco focoUui, to whicli llio Go. vcrnmem for that term virtuujly surrcn dorcd. will do nothing; Tvlerisin b.-iua intent on nuking a show ut un.xicly to do something wlulo U neither docs nor pro. leases any tiling effective : and L'X-o rocu ism rests on its thrcudbare maxim that the Government can do r.

We are daily pokited to the fact that the current ruLcuLeicliuaili between tin; duel eotnmerci.il centres ol Tho Union liuyu up pro iclicd a reasonable standard, ns if that answercu every purpose, wihu a uepoue iu St. Louis, Chicago, or Louisville, cannot be realized hero except at n smart discount; debtors or purchasers .in States embracing half tbo surface ol tlie Union ran promise lit J CUCrVIIl I" WITH.'tl-l'l-flf.lftW-mPRITWWB to tho Atlantic States ; and even the FtaJc. ral Government drugs, at n hcuvey cxpone, its kes of dollars five hundred miles over prairie roads, in order to reach n point where they can be tnad.e available! And all this in a state, 113 wo arc told, of equal- rni1 r-vr-Vinnrf -mid n irone.r CUrronCV ! c . ., But no ! the exchanges have not been equal, ized, innny practical and beneficial sense, ond the want of u uiiiform, adequate na tion d currency, rciniltiblo in any manner nt the slightest cost, is till sorely felt in depressing industry, obstructing business, and diminishing the just reward of labor all over the country. . But this evil is greatly modified, and will in time be nearly overcome, by the opera, tion of tho new Tariff, which Ins alrcndy turned the balance of trado largely in our favor, rind., is still rapidly swelling the amount of specie held in lliis country. We neither expect nor desire that this influx of specie will be permanent; hut its cll:t, in enlarging und strengthening the basis ou which rests our circulating r.cdijm, must be beneficial. The rigorous and distress, ing contractions of our currency consequent on the heavy importations of goods and exportation of i-pcio in preceding years are now at an em!; henceforth the tendency must be to n moderate and gradu d expan sion, even though our circuiting medium be limited to the amount, of our precious metals alone, But a siill greater benefit, to the cnunjry than even that conTorreu ihroTigtl the inrr goration of tho currency is about to be ex. perienced from tho new Taiiir in the wide diffusion and more general prosecution of the mechanic arts and mattufjict tiring pro. cesses. The vast agricultural poitlnts of our country have been kept in comparative poverty by tho remoteness of the markets for their products and thecal of reaching them. While the. farmer iu Illinois must raise wheat for 2 cents, yet tin? maker ol his cloth pay SI 5'J for it, neither of them can prosper. A few go-between may nmass rictu s, but llio great m iss of the producers oil both sides must languish, be. causu most of the fruits of llu ir reciprocal labors are consumed in the cost of exchang ing them. Both must bo vastly ben filled by thu transfer ol the manufacturer to tho neighborhood of the I'-ninur. This pr.ccss has already begun ; it will go uii ihrotighoul the year; and, il the next C nress ad. j ourns without disturbing the Tariff, il will be instantly and greatly accelerated. Tho whole country, and more than uir own country, will be sigr.nl!) benefitted by Oie removal of one hundred thousand manu facturers and nrtlsans to t'hc great valley of the Mississippi, where tlie farmers of tint vast luxuriant region can pay llumi for tlieir products with the nviiiitnius of grain and incut w hich muM now be told for a trifle or remain a drug n their hands. Could this transfer be speedily t fleeted, not only would nil immediate improvement both in the do. maud for nmf price of agricultural staples b g-nerallv felt, but trade throughout the 1 md would h e! the beneficent impulse. No Htato i ver jrerin iiH-ntly diminished the amount of her imports hv increasing the variety of her productions. If Idinois were this day' as great n manufacturing State as Massachusetts, she would, like Massacliu. setts, consume a larger aoionut. of foreign roatrcTSTmtrr-sne-everiiw mroxeioMveaya agricultural and commercial. Ihq, satis faction nf ccrtuin vital wonts by tho labor of her own hands would increase both hr ability and her disposition to buy freely of other foreign staples. VTe note, therefore, ith hearty gratifi. cation the accounts which reach us in our exchanges of tho building of woolen facto, ries in the west, of cotton factories in the south, and the establishment of new brandies of manufacture in every part of the country. It is through such manifestations that our protective TnrifT is to perform its great work of rebuilding the prosperity of the country, by opening new sources and vari eties of employment, and, by bringing the producer and consumer much nearer tngc ther, incrcaso the reward of the former while diminishing the cost to the latter. Only let this policy bo steadily persevered in, and tho improvement in business, orih- demand for labor and its Products, will be steady nnd certain. Yet we ore not expecting whot i9 called a i;as Ja 01 prosperity ia iztj. w e itaow that pricea, whether 0 lands, ei producU, or of labor, ata end must bo low while of.tr currehcy rrmaina o dontracted and imper. feet ns now ; ' And 1re would not have it rxpt nded by a ny sudd-ri ' impulse.

The Tariff and Its Conaequeacca Of several measures proposed by. the Whig Statesmen, as a means of restoring and rendering permanent tho Commercial prosperity of the country, but one lias Uetni uccomplislted. Thoothor ihey would have carried ml effect, u they ru!J. that meytfdriiot,-"'th; reason why, - Ut known to all men or all parties. Hie men. sure which has been'hractically carried out has in a most signal manner proved the w.sclom and: fulfilled thccxpcctatwnsif tts friends. They could have no belter evi oe, in so short a period ihat iheir scheme mi ionu7-t ie,anu hatl it ueenauopu.-u througluiut, rfould n-aotut:djba' coun. try to commercial vigor and renewed health. The measure realized is the Tariff, and to test it, look back upon the events of but two years. Tico facts bofore tho Tariff, ond two ejects derived from it, well test thut measure. First fact. In the autumn of 1811, and tho winter of 1841-2, thu balance of trade was very greatly against this country, and the Custom House returns showed an enor mous exportation of specie from thiscountry. Exchange on England was very high, and ihere seemed no way of restoring that bal ance, nr of acquiring the advantages whicli our surplus crops ought to afford. - Second fact. At tho same time, and pro ceeding from the same cause, (a low Tariff and excessive importation of lorcign gooas; m my of the manufacturing establishments of New England diminished the quantity of their work J and in tho spring of 1842, large bodies of workmen were thrown out of employment, and many manufactories in rciitis)lwnin,New Jersey, New JtorK.auU New. England, had stopped altogether. 1 bree fourths ul all the extensive manufac tories of wool, iron , and paper, were threat- rricrr-wrth iibiroluhi-TutnT These were tho facts when tha Tariff controversy was ut its height; nnd the Whigs said, and wo said, that n good I t- riff would product these efjecls. Il would restore the balance of trade ; a::d as a con- Mcqiicncewf that, would 'first restore the manufactories and woikmen to their busi ness, and would next bring iho importation of specie ns a basis of renewed credit, and a foundation for a National Currency. The rariff Act was passed, nnd it h is fulfilled the anticipation of its friends to tlie very tetter. This fulfilment i found in the two consequences to which we referred. First consequence. In less linn three months from the passage of tho last Tariff Law, tho manufactories iu Pliiladelphit, New Jersey, New lork, and various uilicr places, which hud been slopped, went into J nctivo operation, and thousands of work ! men out of employment, nnd hundiedn'of 1 thousands who would have been thrown out j of their occupation and support, wero saved from the disastrous cor.sequcnce ol ruined 1 manufactories. - Second consequence- Tho year 1842! find fhe balauev of trade decidedly in favor of this country, and, a was anticipated, millions of poHe returning to ihi country and some prospect that tlie produce of the country will realize something more than silks aud alins, brandy or wim. Eevn the L Foc press is obhgetl to boar testimo ny to the fact, that tlw balance of lYude is in mir favor, ond specie is fauidly coming into trio country.

Tlie writer of the notice which we published sent us his real name like a man of senso ; the writer of tlw last communication kept his name to himself, a 1 far as wo wi-ro concerned. If h; wis'i to know tho reason why we do not publish for him, he is referred Jo a short notice in thi paper, addressed "To cor respondents." And we again say we will not subject ourselves lo bo imposed upon by publishing communications which pro fess lo involve facts, without we know the source from whence tlwy come. We will lie glad toIiedr from wjr friends at any and all times but they must let us know who they arc, - LITEST FROM TEIiS.

(iouston, undcrstan each other now, as per. fectly as they did vhile iu Washington City, In 18.32. It is aaid that tho Mexican. Government is willing to concede to Tins every thing except the name of sovereignty, and is very anxious to make any terms which can be done with honor, as all hope of re-conquering Texns,- has been given up. J Sugir is made in Texas which is said t j be equal to that made in Louisiana. CCr General Wuddy Thompson, our .Minister to Mexico, has effected tho relensu of Messrs.
