"POLK, DALLAS AND THE TARIFF or ir. Tte Abolition hypocrites who just now prc trnd to be in favor of a high Tariff, take great delight in referring us to the motto which they toy the Demociacy of Peansylvauij adopted ou the Tariff quest ion, in 1811*. They tell us that our banners were then inscribed with li Polk, Dallas and t!u Tariff off- 12," and that we deceived the people because the tariff of '42 was repealed duiing MI:. POLK'S administration. These very sagacious gentlemen forget that there was but a single Democratic Congress man from Pennsylvania, who voted for the re peal of the Ta; lif of '4-2, and thai that Congress man was DAVID WJLMOT, "/A < only J ret trade lory in all Pennsylvania," who but one year ago was the standard-bearer of these same Aboli tion sticklers for a high tariff. Every Demo cratic Congressman from Pennsylvania who had made any pirdgea concerning the Tariff of '42, manfully redeem*'J thorn, and DAVID VVILMGT, who is now one of the chief cap tains of the Opposition and who has never publicly renounced his free trade notions, was the only Democratic member of Congress from Pennsylvania that voted for the repeal uf that tariff. Then-fore, the charge that the Demo cracy deceived the people in 1844, is utterly false and unfounded. However, it the Aboli tionists are willing to rest that charge on the ground that Wit mot deceived the people, we have not a word to say in contradiction, and, in that case, they are heartily welcome to all the capital they can make ol it. WILL MIL WILLIAMS RESIGN ? MR. JORDAN in his speech at the jollification jitzU of the Black Republicans, on Tuesday ni<*ht of Court week, endeavored to account for the loss ol the Illinois legislature, to his par ty, by laying that the Senatorial and Repre sentative disincts of that Stile, had been "ger rymandered" in the apportionment, to as to enable the Democrats to elect a majority of both houses, in spite of the fact that the popu lar vote of the State was against them. If Mr. JORDAN had looked a little nearer home, he might have found another "gerrymander" a gainst which lo v nt his anathemas. He might have told his audience that by an infamous hand practised upon the people of Bedford county, Gr.o. W. WILLIAMS is enablrd to obtain a seat in the Legislature of Pt iiti-) lvania. He might have told them that owing to a "jerry mander" ol his own, the freemen of Bedford county have been defrauded of a right guaran teed them by the Constitution of the State.— He might have told them that he, Francis Jordan, deliberately and with malice afore thought, betrayed the majority of his fellow citizens of Bedford county i-lo the power and coiiliol ol the minority, by gi\ ing that minori ty the privilege of calling to its assistance ||;e votes of the people of another county. But Mr. JORDAN evidently preferred talking about matters not quite so familiar to his hearers as the "gerrymander" ol this legislative district. He even forgot to tell us whether Mr. WIL LIAMS will persist in claiming to be the repre sentative of a people who at the ballot-box so indignantly spurned his proffered services.— We are, therefore, again under the necessity of repeating our question, Will Mr. WILLIAMS resign 1 Wi NTEK.

A citizen of that place recently lost hi- hearing an 1 af ter every means known t > the medical fraternity had been exausted, electricity was resorted to. An instrument was produced, and placing the end of a piece of wire in each ear the electric current was let on lightly at lir.-t and gradual ly increased. After continuing the operation lor some time (Tie hearing of the man was so much restored that lie could hear a heavy rap on tin* tabie. Again the win s wer, inserted i n his ears and the fluid applied. On removing them the second time the patient could hear loud talking in the room. This ops-ration took place in the afternoon, an ! the patient was then allowed to rest until the n- xt rn< rning, when the wires were again inserted and after apply ing f!;e fluid lor a few minutes the hearing of the man wa perfectly restored. of the- inosf •'Wful results ot sleep walking of which we have" heard for a long time transpired at St. pn Sunday night. On Friday evening, say? the St. /.">uis .Repub lican, a farmer named Bray, fro.r Indi ana, who was removing to some point on the Missouri river with his wife, father-in-law, and lour children, came in on th Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Being in straightened circumstances, the Omily obtained permission to stop for the night in a small room on the ferry dock at the fool of Car street. Between twelve and one o'clock in the night Bray arose, in his sleep, and taking his youngest child, aged three years, in his arms, actually walked from the room and* into the water ! The piteous wailing cries of the child, and the loud calls of the fa ther for help, soon drew a number of persons to the melancholy scene from adjacent places on the Levee. The fiantic grief of the family partook of the incoherence and wildness of the maniac, and is described to be of the most heart rendringj description. Before ingenuity could resolve on any way of rescuing the drowning objects both had sunk, to be seen no more alive. A BLOW FOR SPIRITUALISM.—An exchange states that a young man has just returned home who was believed to have been lost in the wrecked barque Wade, of New Bedford, ten years ago.

A TERRIBLE HEED IN KEVIICkV. Two .Men Hung by a .Mob—Suicide of One Per son—Arrest oj Other Tenons— Excitement. Two men charged with murder, were lynch ed at Greeosburg, K.yoa tbe 10th inst.,aud another, prisoner, to escape the lury ot the mob, committed suicide. 1? appears that some eight months since a wealthy farmer of keiiiuck v, living near Campbellsville, was murdereJ and robbed ol between $5,000 and st>,ooo, by parties who enteied his house by midnight and accomplished the double d--eit while he was soundly sleeping in his bed. Mr. Simpson was much respected, ancFof course the cowardly murder caused a great excitement in his 1 community. Soon alter the guiity culprits were discovered and arrested, t and an attempt was made by the populace to hang them, which was Irustrated. Afterward they were taken (loin the jail at Russeli ilie to that at Hreeris buf. lhe Louisville Journal ha 3 a letter da te! <„'a r pbelDvilie, K.y., Nov. 10, which says: This morning, according to a previous un derstanding, men troin this and ttie adjoining counties commenced gathering at this place, and at an early hour took up their march to Greensburg, meeting with acceissous at different , points along the road until the crowd numbered t wo or three hundred men, including, we learn, a considerable number ol spectators, lhe mob proceeded to the jail, which is built of stone and very strong, and lound the doors locked and ! the jailor g me. A number of men immediate ly seized a large piece of heavy timber, and,) with several tremendous blows, bursted the | door Irom its hinges. An inner door was j speedily broken with crowbars and sledge ham mers, and a poition of the mob stood in the ! debtor's room, fronting the cells in which the miserable men were confined. The locks of; the cell doors were soon broken and the doors prised open, when a mo..t horrid, and sickening, and revolting sight met the gaze ol those pres ent. One of lhp tn-n, Elias Scaggs, a man weigh- I ing two hundred pounds, was lound weltering) in a large pool ot blood in the last agonies ot death, the blood spurting in lerge jets from a ghastly and self-iutiicted wound in the neck, naving with a razor cut his throat Irom ear to ! ear. 11 is body, convulsed in death, was drag ged into the debtor's room, and Irom theoce down a flight ot steps on to the paving. The remaining three men, viz: Bill Saul Thomson. Sloan Despano and George Hunter, were then brought from lhe jail bound and mounted be hind men on horseback, when the crowd, in double file, amid throngs of spectators, took up ' cheit trttirn march to this place, a distance ol twelve miles, during which two ol these mi-erable men displayed considerable firmness, asserting their innocence in the most positive terms. Thompson wept and prayed audibly a good part of the way, calling on all to witness ! his innocence. The crowd having arrived at the place, determined to lynch Ueko also, a ne gro, belonging to the muidered man, who trad been implicated by Scaggs as the real murder er. At this juncture, amid the yelling? and how ling? of the crowd, the expostulations of the ! sheriff and our excellent jailor, and "amid con j fusion worse confounded," Robert Colvin, Esq., ja prominent and influential citizen, having succeeded in gaining an elevated position and , in catching the ear of the crowd, addressed it m a short speech, which, for point, appropriate ! ness and good sense, I hayy hardly ever heard excelled ; and it was as effectual as it was sensi | ble, for alter an unsuccessful effort of one or two inexperienced orators, tne mob left the ne gro in jatl and conducted the three men a short distance to an elm tree, and began making j preparations to nang them. At Thompson's re quest prayet was ottered in their behaif, lie pray ing arid weeping aloud during the time. He was then mounted on ahoise, and after again asser ting 11is innocence for the last time f a rope was put about his neck, the end throw n over a liinb, the horse driven from under, and Thomp son was launched into eternity. He seemed to die easy—one or two spasmodic jerks of ttie ■ limbs, a shudder, and all was over. Despano soon shared a similar fate, 'lying much harder. At this stage Hunter gave evi dence of making 1 clean breast, which, after some delay and a good deal of reluctance, he did, confessing to the guilt of Scaggs, Thomp son and Hunter, and implicating tive others as being c mcerned in the murder. Their names are as follows, Henry Scaggs, Jerry Scaggs, Lloyd McDannel, John Underwood, and a son in-law ol Simpson. The latter is under arrest, but is, we believe, generally considered inno cent. The sheriffj with a posse, is out to-night t J arr> st the others. Beko was also implica ted by Hunter, and hioughl forth, and the, two confronted. Nothing of importance was elici ted, and they were b-ith taken to jail—both ol them making a narrow escape. TOM Cor. WIN'S LAST.— At a trial recently held at Yellow Spiings, growing out of a dif ficult v between some of the students and faculty, of Aritioch, the "Old Wagon Roy," who rep resented tiie faculty, was exhibiting to the jury a fiiii or cane, belonging to one of the stud-nts, which was probably used in the melee. Tom was in his usual happy mood, and brought down the house frequently by his witty illustrations of the noble science of fencing; now parrying imaginary thrusts, and anon throwing him self fiercely upon the attack. At last, having exhausted his full store of pleasantries, with one full thrust, he made feint to strike one of the students, Mr. Fisher, who. sat near by, and wilh Jook of unfathomable gloom, arid with the voice of r! St<-ntor, he thundered out : "And what would you do, sir, being unarmed, if I should attempt to pi-rce you through ?" Ima gine the rear of laughter which greeted this last eloquent effort of the "old stumper," when the half frightened student collecting again his wits, sprang to his feet, and successfully mim ickina Corwin's most bombastic style exclaim ed : u l'd welcome you, sir, with, bloody hands to a hospitable "rave."—Ohio Press. INDIAN MASSACRE*. —The accounts of Indian massacres in Texas appear to multiply. A let ter to the Galveston .Vetrs, from Fort Graham, dated Oct. 30th, savs:—"l le'arn that the gen tleman who carries the mail from Meridian to Pecan Bayou, brought to Meridian yesterday a Camanche scalp that he had taken the day be fore. Tiie mail rider says there were three families murdered by the Camanche Indians, a few days ago, in Camanche or Erath county, and one other family missing, either killed or ran away to escape from the Indians. I also learn from a gentleman just from Fort Belknap, that a m3n was killed the other day a few miles below Belknap. Aoout two hundred head of horses have been stolen tbe last few days, in the vicinity of Fort Belknap by the Ipdians. A hard country tbrs. Price of Bread iu Paris. Every bag of wheal, flour, or meal that :.>ines to the city must be brought to the Halie mi Ble, or Grain }Ha!l. This is an immense irea. enclosed wilh a circular wall, and cover ed bv a huge dome, so that it presents a vast unbroken hall of giand and bautiiul propor tions, lightest from the top. Various stalls, with desks, form the otlices ol the clerks and employees. On the floor of this hall are piled up, cob-house fashion, in huge piles, ten to twenty-five feet high, the bags ol grain, presen- ; ting to the visiter a striking panorama ot solid plenty. The city of Paris is surrounded by a wall, not for defence, as it is comparatively slight, but simply for police, revenue, and other municipal purpose-, one of which is the regula tion ot the bread market. Barriers, that is gates, with police attendants and revenue officers, form the only entrances to the city, except the river Seine, which has also its guards. Every bushel of wheat or other grain brought to the city for sale, must he registered and stored at the grain hall, under heavy penalties. This regulation is rigidly enforced, which it is easy to do, at the barriers, with so bulky an article especially as the bags must be o( uniform size. From this register of the daily supply, the go vernments of the city knows at any tiour just how many pounds or pecks of gram of any kind there are in Paris. From the accurate statis tics requireJ to be furnished, they know how much flour or meal is baked daily at each bakeiy, and how much bread ol al! kinds is cor.su,mil. They are therefore able to fix the Weight and price of loaves, each size and shape ot which has its appropriate name according to the ratio between supply and demaud, allowing a lair and just profit to producers, traders and bikers; no more, no less. This price, thus fair iy gradua ted, at short intervals, is luily proclaimed to the public, the dealers, the bakers, aud the police. The police are authorized to drop in. at any time, into any bakery or breadshop wherever bread ii exposed lor sale, and weigh the loaves. There is also a special inspectng oliicer appoin ted tor this express purpose. His visits ate not stated, that they may not have things got ready for exhibition instead of inspection, according to the English and American fashion of doing such things. If the inspector finds the weight deficient, or the price of a particular kind of a loaf too high for the grade, all the bread in the shop is swept oil at once, and distibsuted to the hospitals and other eleemosynary establishments ol the city. Thus are the public protected a gainst private cupidity speculating iri the mean of existence. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL. ST. LOUIS, NOV. 22.—The overland mail brought five through passengers. During a severe storm at Tejon, *2l of Octo ber, a stampede occurred among the camei> used by Lieut. Beale, nine have been recovered and six are still missing. The Los Angelos Star, speaking of immigra tion, says, another large parly of immigrants from lowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, arri ved during the week, in excellent health, with out experiencing the slightest inconvenience. Southwestei n is in good order. Tfiere is a large einigiatmn from the States now on the roads. David Harris, of Baltimore was burned to death on the 22d. The Sixth Infantry reached Car son Valley. They wiil proceed directly for Be nicia. Three hundred recruits under Lieut. Bootes, are expected in ten days. The British ship of the line Ganges, Admiral Barnes, arrived at Exqnimalt froin Valparaiso, Oct. 17th. Victoria dates to the 18th of October, men tions the ariival of 900 ounces of gold dust by express, besides several large parcels in the hands of passengers. Accounts from the above are more favorable. The mines are turning out much better than was anticipated. New diggings of all descrip tions w ere being discovered and there were more miners going up the river than coming down. Freight from Victoria to Fort Hope has ad vanced from forty to sixty dollars per tun. The shipments of gold from the Victoria, through the Wells &. Fargo Company, from the 4th of August to the 12th of October, were ninetytwo thou.-and dollars. ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER ARCTIC. The U. S. steam tender Artie sailed from the N'ivy Yard at 1 o'clock P. M. yesterday under com mand of Lieut. IV. S. Lovel, with the officers and crew of the Metacomet, now stationed at Pensacola, and destined for the Paraguay expe dition. She also had on board a large quanti ty of freight, consisting of copper and brass work, chains, etc., for the steam sloon-of-war P.-nsaola, in course of construction at the Pt n sacola Navy Yard, and a con-iderable quantity ufordinance stores for the Paraguay fleet. A large number of persons assembled on the wharf to witness her s'arling, and cheer her on her way. She had left ttie wharf, and got well out into the Anacosla channel and the shore hawser was let gn, but in winding it up, it be came d to the steamer's propeller, and before the accident could be prevented, had be come so entangled in it as to disarrange her ma chinery, it was feared pre'.ty seriously. A steam tug was employed to tow her back to the marine railway, where she was hauled up, and hands were immediately set to work cutlin" the hawser away. The damage done we hear has not yet been ascertained to have extended beyond the thiowing of her machinery out ol line, in which case a few days time will be stif ficieni to 3et all right again.— Richmond Des patch, 18M. A Monster. The New York Evening Post says: A chiU with two bodies and three an s, was brought to this city some weeks ago by a Canada physicitn, who has been exhibiting it at fifty cents a ticket. It was five months old, and enjoyedjthe usual health of young children, until a lew days ago it was attacked with an acute disease, and yesterday it died. Dr. James R. Wood' was called to examine it after death, but declin ed the invitation. We are naturally incredu lous, and on approaching the child we saw nothing extraordinary in its appearance until the bodies were exposed and they were in so natural a condition as to give the appearance ol two children. On a close inspection our credulity was completely removed.' The bod ies were found to be united in a manner simi lar to the Siamese twins at the waist. They are equal in size, and each performed the natu ral functions of life. From the body that was grafted in, as it were an arm grew at the place ol the union. This arm is disproporlioned, the fore arm being very small and short, having four fingers, two of which are webbed; othet wise the limbs arr all symmetrical." Aristocracy vs Democracy. Ari-tocracy, as every one is aware signifies •'vesting government in a lew''—or "a govern ment where |>ower is vested in a few" to the neglect of the great body of the people. We assert this tobeone oft he principles of Black Republicanism now-a-davs as much as in the times of the fathers of their paity, when the Opposition, head-d by Alexander Hamilton, John Adams and other men who were in favor of a nionaichial form ol government, conten ded with J. Hereon, Madison, Monroe, &;c. Had John O. Fremont been elected Presi hent, it would have been a victory of Aristocra cy— becau-e all southerners would liae been excluded from idfice, and the rights ot the South been trampled ujiou by the lunatics of the North. As it is the count iy is governed bv the great Xa'ional Democratic paity, else we might now be living in the midst ot revoluti >n and ana'chv. These selfish agitators, whose views u|>on any question are entirely one-sided, and on— ideaed, seem resolved to split the Union into fragments. and establish the r- ign of at; unfeel ing Aristocracy. \\ , the Democracy, aun at consolidation oi the Union, and desire to go fur ward into the glorious future, as brethren en ' joying tin same rights, witfi common purpose, and having chanty lor one another. They, the Opposition, or Aristocracy, with the one ij.-a ol slavery m their minds, can see nothing else and forget the innumerable evils ol society in ! pity tor a race that are far better treated in bon dage than in friedoin—far more happy, > know, as born slaves, than with a hbeity which they know not how to use aright. VVe fr >id , that old J.|]eismini doctrine, that "slavery, although an evil, cannot be abolished, save bv | gradual emancipation through the liberality ol ! individuals and ot a regularly organized u --| Ciety," It is time that the Opposition sh ;ui.i be bran ded with a name suitable to their doctrines, in stead ol showing a woit's nature unde- a lions, skin. And you, fellow Democrats, who have weathered many a storm in defence of our principles, stand firm in the dark hour of trial and we w ill rise triumphant y tro.n the present reverse. Clinton D mocrat. Tin; IDMIMSTIi U lU\. The elements oi opposition to the Democra cy, however conflicting the principles they profess, seem to be a unit in their abuse anil villification ot the administration, and their un scruputo is efforts to create a popular indig.oa- j lion against the administration. The strongest j evidence o! the injustice of ttie denunciation | (leaped upon the administration is had in the j u!.j 'inecl chapter of its achievements, during •he brief period of its existence, which we clip ' Iroru tlie Washington L :i>o:t of a recent date : •'Daring a year and a half of the administra tion of Mr. Buchanan the government has a chteved l.he mo.-t signal triumphs in the fireign and domestic policy of the Union—triumn i so i imp u taut and striking, and apparently so im poss ble, as to render our very success a matter of public discredit amongst many of the jur ' rials an i statesmen of the dav. The open sur render of tlie pretension of visitation and search ; by Great Biitam was enough ol itself to make any administration with firmness and high ad j mimstrative qualities. The diplomatic history of that controversy is yet unpublished. When | it comes before the world it will reflect great credit and honor upon the administration, and affjrd strong proof that hereafter the relations I between tlie two governments must remain most cordial and friendly. "Mr. Buchanan encountered, when h • cam j into office, the most annoying and apparently inexplicable domestic diiliculty growing out of j our relations to the M rrmons of Utah. All con curred in thejudgmenl that We had reached a i crisis which demanded the prompt action of the Executive government; because the followers jot \oung, 'vho had established an independent theocratic government, were in open rebeiii in against the laws and constitution of the United I Stal- s. The piophet and his disciples had j grown strong, and in their strength ma t be met and subdued. That this could ultimately be affected there was no doubt; but the boldest and most confident believed it would take years to do it, at the sacrifice of blood and treasure without limit. It has all been accomplished a! i trifling expense and without war by tlie energy •ol I lie ad ministration. The President also in herited an armed and una-med opposition to the territorial government of Kansas: and this UII | holy ami criminal combination received the di ; rect aid audsuppoit of a powerful party in the - country.

Stevens, the delegate to Congress from Washington Territory, contemplates urging on the Secretary of War the necessity of the reten tion in that Territory of a portion of the troops recently engaged there in quelling the Indian hostilities. He thinks that at Fast four regi ments are essentia! to be kept there, in order that tiir Government may maintain the advan tages over the unfriendly Indians which have been gained through the energetic movements of Gen. Glark and Col. Wright. One of the " osl influential chiefs belonging to the hostile tribes—Cumaikin has not yet been brought to terms, and Gov. S. believes that on the with drawal of the troops, this man will gather a horde ol those about him who entertain unfriend ly sentiments towards the whites, and engage in marauding expeditions against the settle ments. Tiie ietent ion of the troops will have the effect of keeping these bands quiet. Gov. S. is sanguine that there' will be a large influx of settlers into the Teriitory, in case such measuies are adopted as shall leave no room for apprehensions of another outbreak among the Indians. i lie s'ateinent that Gen. Harney has been re called I rim the command of the Department of the Pacific, North, embracing this Territory and Oregon, and ordered to the command ol the Department of the West, with his head rjuaite.s at S'. Louis, is apparently unfounded.— W'ns/iinglon Slur. fCr"Tl)e treaty recently made between our government and that of Japan provides for the abolition of the 6 per cent tax for recoiniog American money into Japanese currency; per mits American ministers and their families to reside at J.-ddo, and suspends tiie annual ptac tice of "trampling upon the cross" at Nagasaki; permits Americans to erect churches in Japan, and guarantees religions freedom; closes the port of Simoda, and opens that of Kanagawa, seventeen miles from Jeddo; also opens the cities of Hego and Osaca, and permits the ex porlatiou of Japanese coin.
