Hhall British Interest* Triumph This is a question which it behooves every true hearted Ammcm,J0 cnnautarjitftUi before he makes up lis mind to vote for Franklin "Pierce,.or any candidate for Congress who is known to be in favor of his election. Heavy failures have taken place throughout the country, ami many more are threatened. We have slept in over security, we have rua in debt to foreign countries, we have drained the land of California product, and the hour of judgment is approaching. We are convinced that naught will save our country from absolute prostration from pecuniary ruin, but the passage of a protective tariff. This measure, the only means of national salvation, will be submitted to the next Congress by force of necessity. Will you, who are American freemen, interested in the prosperity of the country, so vote at the election as to secure a President who will recommend and approve, and a Congress which will legislate for the good of American interests, and the welfare of the American people Or will you sustain the interests of British manufactures, by supporting Gen. Pierce for President, and electing men to Congress who are in furor of Free Trade!

The Oregon land law, it is said, operates injuriously upon the interests of that cdutitry. It gives a mile square to each settler and scatters the population too much to enjoy the benefits which concentrated society gives. Every body in the country, married before a given date, being entitled to a given amount of land, the whole territory was astir on that subject and in some cases girk of eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen years of age were married.

ing a political discussion which occurred at one of our well-known boarding houses in this city, on old man (who w»« from the country by the way) remarked with emphasis, have been a whi^ for many years, but I will not vote for Scott. For 1 have been told that during the war in Mexico, a more proud overbearing, tyranical man than he could not be found. Why," said he, "he would no more allow one of the common soldiers to enter his presence than he would a bear. Not a bit."
He had not more than uttered the words when the landlord, who is now old and greyheaded but yet could not bear to hear his old General thus slandered, arose ttiid said with much warmth. "Gentlemen, in the war of 1812, I served six months under General Scott, and more humane kind-feeling man. towards Ins soldiers I would not wish to find.— ••Why sir?." said lf. "many of our men were sick, and wo hud more than fifty creeks to cross where the water would be up to our waists and I never.saw General Scott ride across one of them. Me

Tribune'. The people of Pennsylvania cannot be so lost to their interests as to vote for their Egyptian task-master, and be again deluded with the false banner of "Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of '42." To show the ruinous effect of foreign competition, caused by low wages, an instance I II relate. A manufacturing establishment at Eastern Pennsylvania had been in the habit of supplying one house in this city with tho article of Sofa Springs, to the amount of $18,000 to $20,000 per annum. They found thai they could import tho article at lower prices, and offered 9500 to havo the balance of the contract rescinded. This the manufacturer did not consent to, but, anxious to retain a good customer agreed to lowei thecontraci at a discount of 6 par cent, from previous prices, loaving him a bare commission* ,Thls could not be accepted as the article might still be obtained for less abroad. What is the consequnce? Amcrioon Industry is sacrificed, and A* merican Artisans deprived of work in accordance with the dictate* of Frer Traders. This is but one among many examples of tbe working of our present Tariff.

Something about Babies Mrs. Swisshelm In a late number of the Saturday Visitor says that "Nothing they (the'insolent South'—the "arm gant Southerners') have ever done, did ever rile our temper like a paragraph we find in our exchanges, stating that Mrs. f'rewett, of the'Yazoo City Whig/ has offered to compare babies with us— to intimate her belief that her mosquito eaten, flea-bitten, tick-tormented, piz mi re-persecuted, alligator-menaced, miasma poisoned, yellow-fever-chased, sun-scorched Mississippi baby will compare with our Nettie! That woman must be clean daft but in our opinion there is so much method in her madness, that she took care not to send that number of th» Whig' to our office.
She never imagined a baby like ours, or dreamed of anything ao perfect. Just think of It, Mrs. Prewett twenty-three pounds in eight months) So white, and soft, and round, with such violet eyes, and such a tooth! Then if you could see that fat foot held up for mother to kiss, and then the look of wise wondet that follows my refusal of the expected caress! Poor Mrs. Pwweu, bow w# do pity vou that you have not seen the baby!"
