I could iiiohi wisely be adopted for the avoidance of fraud
j by smuggling and by ndul eratton in the manufacture of

viz:
“I. The direr! and natural cans© of removing ihj* in

Raid lo the inainiamutire of the amount ol revenue

"A. The pinprieiy of admitting Strips or Stemmed ai
fhc same duty as that charged on leaf Tobacco with
reference to the alleged advantages to be derived from
tbe exclusive use el Leal, which is assumed as the ne
cessary com*quence ol a differential duty chargeable on
stemmed.
“ L 'The general question of increase hy the use of w a
t< r in the manufacture, with the inducement afforded
thereby to prepare ihr Tobacco intended fi»r ihe use of
ihe I oiled kingdom in such a manner as to imbibe the
i largest possible quantity •! water for llie purpose of eva
I ding the duty—'This qnes*i..n arose out of the preceding
(■ne, under the assertion by one of the w itnesses that
1 Strip* are dried to an rX'cnt which would nut he prseti
cable w'lih l.eyf'Tobacco.
“After a long and minute examination ;>f many wit
nesses, the details ot which occupy 487 pages of the
published proceedings, the cominilu c divided • u itie gen
cral question, G to 4, and the majority decided with the
( hanccllor » f thcKxrlu quer, against reduction if duty,
and in favor of greater vigilance on the part of the
i const guard and custom ■ Alcorn, ai d of more stringent
regulations of excise. Hut,—and this it is most impor
ia.it to remark,—on the general question of differential
duty the committee was unaiiiuioue! The Report ot
the minority as well a* that of ihe rnajoriiy recoin
it.ended a differential duty on Strips or Stemmed'is
haeco, ami m terms such as to make it apparent that
it is intended hy the operation of the proposed ik-ity to
exclude the use ( f Strips, in order that the importation *»f
j Leal Tobacco may be encouraged, and the alleged a-l

ai* • with the evidence before the committee of all the oh
i jrctioiis which could Iw oflcred to ihe measure lit
1 when a differential duty w as proposed, and we believe
I fully intended hy the goVermm nt, and was afterwards
' abandoned m consequence of the objections thereto alle
ged by the 'Trade. The first and second of tlm.se sub*
jocls of enquiry arc questions with which we are not im
mediately concerned, but the third, un ihe differential
duty, raise* n question ot the utmost importance, with
respect to the interest of ihe Strips now on hand, and an
b» the prudence of preparing new Block for the imports*
lion of next year.
i “On Ihis qeAtiun wc can speculate, but no man can
• determine. Looking at the language cf the Report,
i wh’ch esrms to intend the differential duty to operate as
a iiica..* • * excluding Strips altogether from use, wc can
scarcely Coi.i’t;ve ttie government can ever determine
that Strips import*.,! • '’cordin; to law shall afterwards hr

CAUGHT AT IT!
We ask alien tion to the follow mg article relative tu
ilit* alleged coalition between the Whigs and Natives at
the North:
From the JVew York Tribune.

readers with Roerbacks respecting imaginary tamper

(Let us here state that no hufgain has been made be

I \\ hig ( ily I ickets will not be withdrawn. If any Lo
co or Native wishes to vole for any candidate on them,
j he is at liberty to do it—and so, we presume, of the ri

the W hig f.entral ( cmmitiee to the Democratic Celt*
Iral Committee, to apply jointly to Attorney General
haxier fcr.1.6QI!llXll£tiun of certain doubtful clauses uf
the Slate constitution relative to the right of suffrage, so
as to ensure a uniform system of voting throughout the
Stale, tens rejected byJhe latter! Why? Tho chair
man uf that Committee (Tho. Ritchie) assigns sundry
reasons tor this procedure; hut most of them aresoir
revalent and ridiculous, that it is manifest the rejection
was first determined on, and the search for reasons
therefor lelt lor future consultation. Indeed, it is a re_ I
markable fact, characteristic of the Locofoco party, that
although they arc forever harping on the1 “purity of the
elective franchise,” and although they descant upon
“W hig pipe*layers”m/w!!/Sfam, yet they always stub
bornly refuse to adopt such measures ns w ill effectually
restrict ifie exercise uf ihe r'ght of suffrage to those upon
whom the laws confer it. ’J lip course of the Democrat
ic C entral Committee lurnfshes ono evidence of this fact,
— while their refusal to adopt Registry Laws (indeed,
their onenly avowed hostility to said Laws) in our Inr
gcr cities, by w hich means alone fraudulent voting can
he prevented, is another and. per fiBps a more striking:
proof uf it—to say nothing of those practical manifests

New Jeis,.y and Baltimore.

in the very next column, for the purpose of keeping up
the spirits of its party, it assures them that there has
beeu m> such coal.lion, and that it is not likely that ii
can bn formed. Now lot one, we do not know any thing
about ilwfaet or the probabilities m the case—but sup*
posing that there b»? such a coalition, will the Enquirer
be good enough to tell us, if it be not quite as fair and'
honest in the W lugs to combine with the Natives, as it
is lor the Locos to coalesce w ith the Foreigners? If not, i
wnl he tell us the why and the wherefore ?
