HOISTING FALSE COLORS ■■■ - ' » — The special correspondent cf th( "Evening Herald" sends the followlhf which appeared m that journal on th< 12th Inst : — There is a significant para graph m the Government organ thii morning. Ministers, we are told, ar< reconsidering their deoUion not to meddU with the tariff this session, and it is now quite possible that they will tea theii way to propose certain alterations, with a view to the encouragement of local industries. This inspired utterance ii naturally gall and wormwood to the Boore or bo of stauuoh Freetraders who have fought so stoutly to help Major Atkinson to climb into office. AH th?ae gentleman can now do is to comfort themselves with the reflection that the astute Major is only hoisting tbo flag of Proteotion to deooy the young ones In buccaneering days it war, I have read, a common enough trick for smart pirate O3ptaina to hoist the ensign of any nation whose merohant vessels they weie about to assail. The Major being about to -batter the Protection party, ran up tbo true-blue ensign of Proteotion to his mainmast head, In hope thus to get around his nnwary victims before pouring m a devastating broadside. I fancy, however, from somerthlng that I have heard that some at least of the Protectionists have got their eyes pretty wide open, ani are quite ready to run out their guns the moment the M»jor'i movements become In the least degree suspicious.
