In the Senate nothing of special inter est has transpired since the vote on the Oregon Treaty. The House is engaged in the discus sion of a bill for a reduction of the Tariff, introduced some two weeks since. On this bill a number of speeches have been made. Mr. Seaborn Jones, of Georgia, led off in favor of a revenue tariff; that is to reduce the duty on cloths and silks, and to increase it on sugar and coffee.' Mr. McLean, of Pa., made a speech in fa vor of the tariff of '42. Mr. M'llvainc, of Pa., also defended the protective system. Mr. Holmes, of N. Y., Mr. Ramsey, Mr Darragh, and othcrsspoke on the ques tion, and the latter gentleman made a most excellent speech in favor of protec tion. CThe Baltimore American says, the rate of duty which it is proposed to lay on tea and coffee, according to the recom mendation of the Secretary of the Trea sury, is twenty per cent ad valorem. This r ate is estimated to produce a reve nue of $3,000,000 per annum. The Early History or Pennsylva nia. George Ford, Esq., of Lancaster, is preparing a work under the above title, which is shordy to go to press, and for which Mr. Clark is now procuring sub scribers in this county. The work is to contain 750 pages, and will be furnished to subscribers at $2 25. Important. We learn from Washington that Eng land has offered her mediation between the United States and Mexico, and that instructions to this effect have been for warded to Mr. Pakenham. Removal of Troops, The Baltimore Sun of the 22d inst., says: "The United States troops now at Fort M'Hcnry, we learn, will leave that post in a day or two for New York, where they will embark in a U. S. ves sel and sail immediately for Mexico. They number about ninety men, and will be under the command of hi. Thorn p kins." 7"The Raleigh (N. C.) Star of the 10th inst. says: We had green corn serv ed up from our own garden yesterday." rThe President has nominated John K.

The books of subscription to the stock of Central the Railroad were opened on Mon day last. In Philadelphia stock to the n mount of $309,000 was subscribed. In Harrisburg there was no subscription, al though it is said that subscription to the amount of six or eight thousand dollars will be made un. We think the begin- ninjr is not hiffhlv encouraging to the friends of the Central route. liar. 1 el. Mr. McDuffie has been elected Chair man of the Committee on Foreign Rela tions bv the U. 5. Senate in the room ot Mr. Alien. From the JFushinton Reporter. Xevr Presidential Candidate. C7Gen. Taylor has been nominated by a public meeting in New Jersey, as a candidate for the Presidency in 1848.- The "Old'IIero," may mar the ambitious plans of the numerous locofoco aspirants yet. His brilliant achievements on the Rio Grande, have gained him a populari ty throughout the whole Union, which it will be difficult to resist, should he permit himself to be a candidate for the Presi dency. In reply to frequent inquiries as to the politics of General Taylor, the edi tor of the Wheeling Times uses this language: " We have frequently been asked what were the politics of Gen. Taylor. It makes no difference. He is an Ameri can; but the inquiry has been answered, as to his party preferences, time and a gain by ourselves, as well as others. Gen. Taylor is an out and out Kentucky whig. So was Maj. Ringgold, Col. M'Intosh, Maj. Brown, Capt. Page, and in fact every officer who has distinguish ed himself in the Mexican war. We ,Wv- the Wo foeos to name an exception, unless it may be Capt. Walker of the Texan Rangers, of him we are not cer tain. From the National Intelligencer June 16 The Tariff. The advocates of low duties upon the importation of Foreign Manufactures suc ceed yesterday in the House of Represen tatives, in getting up the bill reported some time ago in that body for a reduc tion of the Tariff of Duties on Imports. With desperate courage they rallied their whole force, and mustered so much stron ger than we had supposed, that were we by nature inclined to be suspicious which we trust wc are not we might suppose that there was some understand ing in reference to the Oregon question, that by way of equivalent for the conces sion by Great Britain in regard to the northwestern boundary, the Manufacturers of the United States arc to be stripped of mm f t. the protection winch me laws nave Here tofore afforded them, and the products of Domestic Indrstry to be discouraged in favor of those of foreign workshops. We should, indeed, be somewhat alarmed for the numerous classes of our countrymen whose interests are involved in this measure, did we not remember that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong; that we have witnessed in our time many stmgglesMn the House of Representatives on questions sf this char acter, from the results of which we know that the party vote to take up the . ques is far from beiug a decisive indication of its ultimate fate, even in the body in which it originates. We cannot help thinking however if we may without offence freely express our minds that the House of Represen tatives would be much more wisely, use fully, and indeed, patriotically employed, if, instead of laboring at this moment to destroy the Whig Revenue System, which' has for the last four years worked so admirably and prosperously for the country, it would seriously set about providing the ways and means, by loan or otherwise,forsupplyingthe deficeucy in the Treasury which must inevitably and very soon result from the expenses of the War in which the country now unexpect edly ;and unhappily finds itsolf engaged. A Tory JSeasnrc Carried Out. The bill recommended by Secretary Marcy and President Polk, for the remo val of Gen. Scott, by allowing the Pres ident to appoint two Major Generals, one of whom is to be dismissed at the close of the Mexican war, has passed both houses of Congress by a strict party vote, and is in the hands of the President. The ob ject i3 well understood, and need not be commented upon. It was proclaimed in "high quarters" that it was concocted for the purpose of removing the war-scarred veteran from the post he has won by years of toil, of peril and of privation. But the enmitv of the Tories is insatiable; the secrifice of Gen. Scott is fixed upon and must come. We hope every Whig volunteer in our country will resent the persecution of their brave and chivalrous chief, by refusing to march one step to wards Mexico, until this infamous resolve to apply the guillotine to the Hero of Chippewa, Queenstown, Fort George and Luudy's Lane, has been repealed. Let them take a stand on this question and teach the Tories that the fame of Scott is the property of his country, and his honor in its keeping. Pa. Tel. Failures The N. Y. Express says:" We re gret to state that three of our most res pectable houses, all engaged in the flour business, have been compelled to suspend their payments. The pressure on this class of merchants, has been severe, ow in"r to the decline in flour and bread stuffs. The Western business has fallen very severely on those engaged in it this season, more so than on any other branch of trade. There has been such an eager ness to obtaiu consignments, that in many instances merchants have accepted fir r a much larger sum than the property, ow ing to the great fall in prices, has brought, and consequently there has been a lsrge deficiency, which is severely felt among the rar rchanis in the city engaged in this business." C?Although the Locofocos told us that Annexation would cost the U. S. neither money nor blood, we never be lieved it. We now see, when it is too late to prevent it, that the President has called for TWENTY FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, EYTRA! West- 1 Chester Record. " " " : ' Plan or the" Campaign against Mexico. The New Orleans Picayune of the 5th inst. contains a plan of the Mexican cam paign under Gen. Taylor, in which his course of operations wtll be, first the cap ture of the town of Camargo,5 situated on the Rio Grande, 250 miles by water a bove Matamoras, so soon as transports can pe procured for the troops, for which purpose Gen. Taylor has dispatched Capt Saunders of the army to New Orleans. Before reaching Camargo, the army will have to take the town of Rey nosa, which is between Matamoras and Camargo. This latter town will be the basis of operatioo upon Monterey as the depot of supplies. From Camargo to Monterey is about 120 miles, and the country more fertile than that between Matamoras and Monterey. General Tay lor designs to be at Monterey in all July, where it is supposed the Mexicans will make a stubborn stand, if at all, during the war. It is added, that if the troops under General Taylor occupy Monterey, the whole of Mexico this side the Sierra Medre will be in the possession of the United States, including the mining dis tricts of New Leon, New Mexico,' Santa Fe, Chihuahua, &c. fcc. This calcula tion is based somewhat upon the idea that the United States will order an expe dition from the Missouri river upon the northern provinces. If this be done the whole of north Mexico will be in our possession. Such a disposition of the forces of United States would end , the war at once. But if it did not, our army would hold the key to the whole of South-Mexico, and the gates of the capi tol would, speaking in a military sense, be in the possession of Gen. Taylor. "Pete Gumbo I wish to propopound one injection to you, and I axes, nigger a cat and-dogical " solution in the problc mun." "Intercede nigger dis child am concenteratin de intellectual qualifications ob mental corporosity." "Well den Why am a Taylor appointed to com mand de forciblcs ob de" Texum army ob occupashun!" "Gib him up widout a a struggle." Shaw, nijrser! It is to strengthen de seat ob war, to make breaches in Matamoras, an' to sew up de Mexicans." 4TII OF JULY- Programme of the Celebration.
