THE NORTHLAND THE TARIFF. The New York Journal of. Commerce recently aiated that many of.tfae -manufae- lurers ui 1110 cast are in favor 01 iree irnue; upon which assertion the journals of that section join issue. That 'the industry . 6f the East 1 not disposed to dig its own grave, needs nO demonstration; but wn'y is it so cold and idtef The tarifihas never been in danger until now.' It is to be repealed, not because it has net prospered, for it has ponred the horn of plenty upon the land; not bectfuse the American people are not satisfied wittf it, for ffeftr was the American policy so popular; But it must be repealed because England demands it. The President and the South unite against us. The war fury was kindled only to consume the tariff) and if the North is con tent to take it temelyj the tariff kToetr''' 1 ae treat" issoe Hero r tne-'xeiintrr 'ir now the tariff. Upon that will the party conflicts of the three years hinge. In bringing a peace by the aaerifice of the tariff, the administration encounters dan gers which have not been; calculated.: It places the head and heart of the republic. its interests and passions, against it. Swearing; it will ne'er consent to forehrn influences, the government consents, in the face of the warning of Washington against entangling alliances,' and in opposition to the established policy of tbe country, to unite her interest with those of Great Britain. The rotten and worm eaten pol icy of the old world m thus grappled with our own. Will the American people en. dure this! We will see. Bat this policy gives lurther privileges to Great Britain Tfie Declaration of Independence was an ignorant blunder, England has the right to tax America; the martyrs of the revolutio were insane; and England, herself, was silly to attempt bf foice, what is so readily effected by diplomacy. Our country will not bear direct taxation from Great Britain, but has in the opinion of the adro'Itflstra tion no objection to it, when imposed by diplomacy. It was once thought that the people alone could tax tbo people; but the new doctrine is, that the prime minister 6f England may dictate our imposts, and that the government by sanctioning the treaty may levy up&t our country what taxes her . . 1 -i , . iiiojv-oiy a guveiuuicui mejr u jjicssbu to require. . Are the democracy willing to make this the question, and go before the people upon itt The surrender of the tariff reduces us to tbe position of Canada; we will be made, in every business inter est, a dependent province.

But be this as it roar, the consequences of free trade to the industry of this country must be most leaf-' ful. I he lless does not all its duty upon this subject, at the North', or here.

A convention recently held in Misrtrari, for amending the constitution of the Slate, undertook, among other matters within the range of the prescribed duties, ( in rite the government of we United States to come and settle down in St. Louis; and in order to produce that desireable change they determined formally to tede to the United States (conditionally, and place the terms of cession in the new constitution) the city of Sf Louis, "d the region tound about. This wrrchrd pieee of folly is rendered more ridiculous by the discovery that the metra and boun daries of the ceiled district did not include St. Louis, just reaching the line of that place, bat baring for ita centre, and con sequently the aeat of the National Gov ernment; a little old dirtr village, called "Firfe Poche" which, by interpretation, is Eiuty Pncket." It would be a capital thing if Mr. Santerreof that region, should ever be a president, snd thus be at the head pf ; " Vide Poche.,, K . 0ft Mr. Bancroft on the Englieh and Span- ith 7 Hie. It appears from Mr. Gallatin's tetter, that our government, in claiming Oregon antler the Spanish title, is really resting Mhe Pope's biujlpf 1 493, giving to. tne opaniarus ait tnst prrt xt nromei which is west of meridian of 100 (afut wards 878) teaguef west of the Azores. The confidence with wnich Mr, Bucha nan rest on this bull must be hakn by the lepresentations ol the historian, his colleague aa Secretary ol the Navy. Af ter establishing the fact that the Cabot, undrr the English flag, dieuvered the rnn Jinent of America befoTe Columbus, Mr. iancrwft says (Hist. U. S. i. 11): Pusterity hardly remembered this: but England acquired thruu'gd their energy $uch a right to North America,' as thi in disputable priority could confer. Henry Tib and his successor recognised the el aims of Spa in and PoriugaU etnly -o far ss Hiey artosHy becupif d the territories fo which thry laid poaaession; and at a latter day (1620) the English Parliament and the Enslisit Court derided o title, foua tied, not upon occupancy, but upon a grant from the Roman Pontiff." The Protestant wWlif will feet apt to Lain in the derision at the present tune. Fortunately for oar government whichtake such interest in the earliest discoveries, and lavs such stress upon them, the En gtiah negotiator ha re not yet pressed their claim resulting from the cauota success in 1497. It i almost a fair offset to our bull from the Pope in 1493.
