A brutal prize fight; came off hear Boston
a few days since, the following account of
which we find in the Times : , .
The comV-.tants were Prof. Joseph Long,
so styled, an American, and Jack Smiih, an
Englishman, well known as a tough, but not
large professor of the pugilistic art. Long's
weight is about 150, and Smith's some dozen
or fifteen pounds lessf. lThe bets of the im.
mediate backers were about 8300 a side.
The pugilistic party numbering over a hun.
dred, all too in profound secresy, started on
Monday about two o'clock, A. M., and after
various demonstrations, reached the "Little

harbor, and within the coui.tv of Suffolk and

We fiod in the R-xrhester Dem'scrat, an
article which should be read by every mechan

manufactures which would not suffer immeas.
umlly by the operation f Mr. Polk's views
on the tariffl ,Thc question of the important
of protection forpur manufactures, has long
been settled in 'the minds of those who have
examined the subject! Yet there are some
who do not advocate such a measure, whose
prosperity depends upon ' The Democrat
says : t.- ' u :-p -a 1 I' Y7 -
Let us support our own mechanics, in pre.
Terence to the mechanisof France and Eng.
land,; , Polk's anti-tariff doctrine .will injure
the American hatter, tailor, and shoemaker:
, It will injure .the HATTER ; for if the
present protective duties are removed from
dressed furs and manufactured hats, the Eng.
lish hatter will send in his hats j made by men
who work for two 'shillings a day , and sell
them atiower prices' than they can bo sold
for by the American hatter who pays his jour
neymen from ten. to twenty shillings a day. -CT
Mr, Polk is opposed toa protective ta.

The repeal of tho tariff, as advocated by
GV. PoIk, would injure tho TAILOR. If
we have no protective tariff, wearing i appa.
relof every description will be brought into
this country from England. Whenever a lo.
cofoco wanted a suit of clothes he would send
to Canada for them, or go to a clothing store
in the city, whose shelves would be filled with
coats, vests, and pniakonst .made in Eng
land. ..When this shall happen what will be.
como V American TAILORS? Where
will our journeymen tailors find work? Who
will employ them I ; They , would " find every
.Polk locofoco wearing English made coats,
vests, and pantaloons, because the price cf
labor in' England would enable, the English
cloihier to'send his wares here and sell them
cheaper than they could be mad J in this ccun.
try. .W hat say American tailors to such a
policy ? Da they want lo see their fellow
citizens wearing coats made in England 1: If
they do, they should vote for Polk, who goes
