SIR, Thp fate of the new tariff Mil having been decided by your casting vote yesterday, in the Senate of the United States, we seize the earliest moment, as your personal and political friends and as the friends of the toiling millions ol this great republic, fo congratulate you on your unflinching adherence to Democratic prin- i ciptes, especially to that cardinal point, '*The i greatest good ol the greatest number," at a mo- | merit too when every eye was directed towards ! you, w hen a large mass of intelligence and lo cal interest was enlisted and exerted in the an- ! tagonist cause, and w hen it required a J-sertiou ' evao of two Senators to throw tire w hole re cponsibility upon your single vote. Assuring you that we are certain that the majority of the American people will thank and honor you i lor this noble act ol Roman firmness so seldom known in these modern times of "principle in ) proportion to interest," and which act aids in creating a law for the equal benefit of tbe whole I people, while it sustains a President and his ! administration whose every deed has betn de- ■ signed for the honor, prosperity, ana happi- t nessofthe whole nation.* It is true the work- I ings of your political 4 bes may create * rnomen- 1 tary agitation against you, bul remember it is ' nit the first time that you have withstood their ' " d '-less missiles and fruitless assaults, and now ! We contra predict that the great- agri- ! cultural rntere..

Mr.. EDWARD MCPHERSON, the Abolition candidate for Congress in this District, has pub lished an "Address,'" in which he states, seria tim, the va-ious grounds upon which he liases | his cia..ns to the support of the people. These grounds are, first, "A HIGH TARIFF second ly,, "A NTI-LECOMFTONISM ;" thirdly and lastly, "THE EXPENDITURES OF THE GOVERNMENT-" We have already shown that his arguments on these subjects are fallacious and forceless, and that they are mere attempts to shift responsi- j bilities from the shoulders of his own parly, | who, in ever}' sense of honesty ami justice, must ; bear them, to those ol the Democratic party ' \A ho are not answerable for them in any degree. ; We have hitherto spoken of the subjects which MR. MCPHERI-ON has treated; we shall, now, have something to say of some of those which he has left untouched. He has ranted and phi losophized on the subject of the "Tariff;" he has raved and harangued en the Kansas question; he has declaimed against and prevaricated con cerning the expenses of the National Adminis tration; but what has he said about "American ism ?" what allusions has he made to the doc trines of that party which declares that "A mer j icans shall rule America?" what expression of i sympathy with the Fillmore men of Bedford ' County, has he made in his speeches, or his pul j lished "Address ?" Not a line has he written i to show that he has any thing in. common '.vim ! the "Africansnot a word has he spoken Jto indicate that he has any love fur their prin , ciples. He has not even honored them as much 'as to mention their name. He passes them by ' with contempt. He ignores their organization, i their principles, their very existence. Even ! Wihr.ot treated them with more respert. He | smiled upon them very pleasantly, when here j last Fall, buf, then,.his case was different from | that of JIR. MCPHEF.SON. W'ilmot had an "A merican" competitor, MR. HAZLEHDRST, to fight against, whilst MCPHEESON has not. The for mer was compelled to court the-"Americans ;" the latter (McPherson) imagines that, as the "Americans" have no candidate of their own, they will vote for him at any iatr, and, there fore, does not deign even to ask them for th-ii t support. He supposes that he can afford to j treat them • independently and, consequently, : rpfil£P£-ln t ll.cir vufvr ,ir ibuir the Hazlehurst men of Bedford count}-, remem ber that Edward McPherson was secretary of the VV'ILMOT STATE COMMITTEE, last Fall, and that he did all that lay in his power to lessen the vote of ISAAC HAZLEHURST. Let "Ameri cans" rea I the ."Address" of MR. MCPHERSON, as published in the Abolition papers of this Congressional District, and see whether they can find a single word in it, concerning their peculiar doctrines. Let them read it and see whether they are not contemptuously ignored in it and whether the} would not be entirely justifiable in ignoring, with the same contempt, its unscrupulous Abolition author. FREE TRADE McPIIERSOX. KEEP IT RE; ORE THE PEOPLE that EDWARD MCPID: SON spent weeks last Fall, in electioneering for DAVID WII.MOT, who according ° to the VV IRI.J n vsp.ipers, was "A BRITISH FREE 1 BADE TORV," and, that, in doing so, he endor sed Wilmof's Free Trade doctrines and, there fore, i/bnly trying to humbug the voters of this Congressional District, when he. tells them that he is in favor of a high tariff. KEEP I r BEFORE THE PEOPLE that EDWARD MCPHERSON IS, now, on a ticket head ed by an avowed Free Trader, JOHN M. READ, who has, time and again, expressed his hostili ty to a Piotecfive Tariff. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE that EDWARD MCPHERSON is the nominee of a party which had the majority in Congress, when the present Tariil was established, and one of whose l-aders, LEWIS D. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, is the a itlior of (fiat Tariff. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE that EDWARD MCPHERSON belongs to a party which in the Eastern and Western States, is in favor of Free Trade and which makes "Protection" an issue in but a single State in the Union, viz. Pennsylvania, where it supposes votes rrav be caught by so doing. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE that, as | EDWARD MC Priest SON support I>D a so-call-d ; "Biitish Free Trade Tory 7 ' lor Governor, last ; Fall, ami as he is on a ticket headed bv a no-, torious Free Trader and below to, and is the ! nominee ola party which' is resjronsible tor the I present low Tariff, he is a lull-blooded, wool- I dyed, Wilmot Free Trader, no matter'what : rr.ay be his professions in favor ola high Tariff'. MAIL ROBBER (WIGHT. Silas Cover, Postmaster at Davidsville, I Somerset county, P.-nn'a., was arrested in ,'Philadelphia, a lew da ys ago, on a charge of •iWpfa'ir.jr letters and money from the Mail, rfe was a merchant and had gone to the above city, to 'day in" his stock of winter goods some ol **'•■ ich, it seems, he paid for with money ;he had obtained packages passing through ; the Mail and which hu. b ,; pn mlrkt . d by an agent ol the Post Office I)epai,^ enti Wr C(J . ! ver ought to have known better than v, deal so j boldly with t'ncle Sam. r£p"The Abolition organ has a long article , in its last issue, in which a very lame effort is made to explain away the well established fact , that the indebtedness of our county is owing to the bungling of the late Abolition 1 reasurer j and the withholding of moneys due the county ! by Abolition collectors. Says the organ, the ; Treasurer cannot pay out money without the I the authority of the Commissioners. It is true that he cannot pay money to any persons ex cept such as hold orders from the Commissi tri ers, but he can pay out Shite funis in cashing those orders, with or without authority irom the Commissioners. The late Abolition Ireasu ; rer paid State funds on county orders, and his j doing this is what lias created the confusion • uito which the financial affairs of our county | have been throw n. H- should have paid none but county money on county orders an 1 then he would not have been in debt to the state 3t the end of his term upwards oi $3000.00. Whenever the Abolition organ succeeds in making its partisan Collectors that owe the county, pay the thousands of dollars which they should have paid lung ago, it may be able to make something of an argument on this subject. Tt had better take our advice and make thecu '•shell out" before it savs anything further on the subject. THE ONE HUNDRED QUIRES OF 13LAN KS oidpred by an opposition board of Commissioners, w hen A. S. Russell was cleric, will, also,doubtless, be used up by the time these defaulting gentlemen square their dupli cates. So the Abolition organ had better "wait a little longer." The Tariff— How Hie Opposition treat it. One of the prominent issues of the opposition in the present campaign, is t her tariff. Tiiey claim to be the especial friends and protectors of American industry, and pronounce worthless any plan 'or its support and assistance which does not owe i(3 origin to Black Republican wisdom ar>'j patriotism. But in the midst of ail their protestations, one fact is sufficient to show the character of the attachment they feel for home industry, and stamp the whole tariff move ment of the opposition as a mere political con trivance, a scheme lor operating upon the mas ses, and securing their votes for certain candi dates on the day of election. We allude to the change of front on the tariff question which , has been executed bv the Opposition within a few years. The old Whig party, the real fa ther of the tariff in this country, boldly pro nounced lor high rates of duty, protection for the sake of protection, and went down battling for that distinctive but erroneous doctrine. In i'B44, when the Opposition rallied under the lead of HENRY CLAY, the originator of the so called American system, they repudiated the idea of a Tariff based upon the revenue princi ple, arid denounced the Democratic party as enemies to the industry of the country for maintaining the constitutionality and correct maintenance of the Government, and at the same time protecting, encouraging, and develo ping home industry and home manufactures.— The basis of the Democratic platform on the subject of a Tariff during the campaign of IS 14, was a letter written by JAMES K. POLK, the candidate of the Democracy for President, to the late distinguished Judge of the District Court o< the United States i>r the Eastern Dis trict ol tins State, HON. JOHN K. KANE, in which MI:. POLK enunciates the following doctrines upon the subject of a I arid. We call especial attention to the extract, as it is both curious and instinctive when paralleled with (lie re cent declaration of the People's Convention of this State upon the same subject. MR. POLK saiJ : "I am in favor of a tariff for revenue, sue! a one as will \ ield a sufficient amount to the Trea sury to defray the expenses of the Government economically administered. In adjusting the details of a revenue tarifFl have heretofore sanc tioned such moderate discriminating duties as would produce the amount of revenue needed, and at the same time afford reasonable inciden tal protection to our home industry."—June 19, 1844. When this posilion .vas taken by the Demo cratic party, it was denounced by the opposi tion in all sections of the country, a a free trade of the rankest and most injurious character, and those w ho supported it as deadly enemies to the prosperity of the country. Hut were they hon est m the posilion then taken against the POLK KANE letter ? Let subsequent facts answer. Tile People's Convention which recently assem bled at Hariisburg, announced the following as the principles of that party on the subject of a tar ill: Resolved , That th** revenue necessary for a | judicious and economical administration of the i Government should he raised bv llie imposition lof duties upon foreign imports, and in laying j them, such discriminating protection should be j given as will secure the rights of free labor and j American industry. Is this not an abandonment of the whole the j ory of protection for the sake of protection, and the full recognition of the doctrines laid down by JAMES K. POLK in the letter from which we have presented the extract ? Most assuredly it is. The resolution of the People's Convention is a lair copy of the KANE letter, with only such alterations as are applicable to the contest in this State. And yet alter thus deserting theii old ground, on the question of protection, and placing in nomination a life-long ultra free-trade man, JOHN M. READ, the People's partv has the effrontery to call upon the citizens of the Old Keystone State tor their suffrages, and to base that call on their consistent support of the protective idea in reference to a tariff. The truth is, the whole clamor which the Peopl.-'s party has gotten up on this question is dishon est and deceptive. The Opposition has always treated this great matter as a mere electioneer ing scheme, and the conduct of the Black Re publicans in the Congress of 1857, when they : reduced the tariffof 1856, under the pressure o( Eastern gold, is a forcible commentary upon their tatiff protection. Will the people look to the facts presented 1 — Pennsyloanian. MUNCIIAI'SEM OITDON'E. A lew days a JO, we were handed the follow ing specimen ola Western letter with a re quest to publish it. We give place to it for the benefit of those -estless folks who leave j their comfortable homes in old Pennsylvania and move West with the expectation of reali zing the Paradise depictured in the letter of some Hoosier, Sucker, or Wolverine specu lator.

The Washington Union announces the fact the President had concluded a contract with > : the American Colonization Society for the * I subsistence and instruction of the Africans re , i centlv captured in the slaver now at Char hs i ton, for the period of one year after their lari i ding on the African coast.

As variousdisscnssioris have been lately ripe j in the f. iiion on the proprt ty of expediency ol j returning these captives again to their native ; coasts, and the su-.ject lias been treated as if the ; President passed under the laws an option ; whether to send them back to Africa or retain \ them on this continent, it is proper to state that i by the law under which his proceedings haie | taken, he is allowed no such op'.ijn as is j spoken that alluded to. HORRIBLE MURIIER IN FRANKLIN COUNT V, j PA. — Ihe Valley Spirit says: On Sunday j evening last, two brothers named David and j Daniel funk, who reside on a farm about one i mile from the town of Waynesboro', in this | county, perpetrated ad-liberate and m|d j blooded inurderon a man by the name of John : Osburn, a shoemaker by trade. It appeals, ! according to the rumors which have reached I this place, that Osburn, who ii an old man and | a cripple, resided as a tenant on Funk's fa-m, I ami was in the habit ot obtaining the water ' used in his family from a spring rmar the resi : dence of the Funk's. At this spring there is a j spring-house from which several articles, such ias are usually found in places of the kind, had : been purloined. The Funks blamed Osburn | and his sons for committing the thefts, and for bade him or them to visit llie spring, although | allowing his wife and daughters to do so. On I Sunday morning, the old man Osburn visited the spring as usual. I'he Funks ordered hi u off : but lie refused to go until he obtained water. J They then atteinpteu to shoot him, but the gun | would not go off alter being snapped at him ' several times. The Funks, anticipating Os j burn's return to the spring, ma le preparations ! j for Ins reception. They drew the load out of; the gun and reloaded it afresh with a heavy I : charge of buckshot. In the evening, about 4 ; | lyclock, Osburn returned to the spring ami the I Funks sallied out to attack him. Da"ve struck ' him a severe blow on the head with a stone ! and Dan, the younger brother, fired the contents * <>t the gun into his side 3 little a'love the hr>. j Osburn died during the night from the effects of the wound received. Some forty or fifty! shot penetrated his side and hip. The blow re ceived on his head it is also thought would have been sutiicient to cause death. Osiburn leaves a wife and several children. The Funks are both married men. They were arrested at Waynesboro' on Monday and brought to this place and committed tojai! to await their trial at the next term ol our C'ourt.
