Tlic amendment iniht produce a reve
nue of forty or fifty lhousanl dollars to
the Commonwealth, but if it occasioned a
rejection of the grant by the company, it
would be productive of the most serious
evils. Never was th:r; a bill before the
TiCgislature of this Commonwealth, of
more importance than the one now under
consideration, 2nd he might say, never
had a bill been opposed by means so un
fair. Even in this hall a map had been
nailed up, pretending to describe the route
of the road to Parkersburg, which was a
printed lie a caricature betraying either
the' grossest ignorance, or the most un
principled maliciousn?ss. lie could
prove it to be such, and when lie hud
pronounced it so in the presence of the
Senator who procured it to be put up, he
had not a word to ay. The author of
that map was grossly ignorant of the sub
ject which he undertook to exhibit; it
was not a representation of the survey
but was copied from a map made more
than two years ago, before the survey was
made by the engineers of the company.
Blank memorials had been procured by
Senators on that floor, franked, and sent
off through the mails for sign-lures in or
der to manufacture public ornion, and
create an opinion here that a lavge major
ity of the people were opposed to the
grant of way through the State.
Mr. Crabb called the Senator to order.
He thought he was diverging from the
subject under consideration, and indulging
in personalities altogether improper.
The Speaker required the Senator from
Allegheny, to confine himself to the sub
ject before the Senate.
Mr. Darsic said he should confine him
self to the question under consideration.
The question was on the amendment and
it was in order, to show the importance
of the bill to which that amendment had
been made. This bill was not a new
one. It had been the subject of previous
legislation. The first act granting the
right of tray was passed in 1828. It
was liberal in its provisions, imprcscrip
tive, and passed with unprecedented una
nimity. The company proceeded under
the faith of that law to construct their
railroad from Baltimore to Pittsbunr.
But owing to the pressure of the time
owing to the overwhelming revulsions
which prostrated public energy and pri
vate enicrprize, they were unable to pro
ceed as they had anticipated, and in 183'J
applied to the Legislature for an exten
sion of time. Their request was com
plied with, but such a multitude of re
strictive and burdensome conditions were
coupled with that compliance that they
were under the necessity of refusing to
wrcept. They then turned their attention
to another quarter. They applied to the
Legislature of Virginia for a law authori
zing the construction of their road within
the limits of that State, r.nd set their en
ergies to work to complete the road.
Mr. D. here referred to statistical facts
cmd stated tlic ditaace of the several
rou'es.
He said the question now was whether
the company should be permitted to ex
tend their road to Pittsburg to expend
within the limits of our Commonwealth
five raillions of dollars to enrich our citi
zens to Wild up the city of Pittsbursr,
securing to ourselves the right of connex
ion st any point of that road? Gentlemen
liad told us that the Company were una
Me to continue the road through Virginia,
but he warned them that it was a mistake.
IV Lit could the company not accomplish?
Jt was declared by able and experienced
engineers who had surveyed the route
that it was entirely practicable, while the
contrary assertion rested on toe mere ipse
dixit of interested and prejudiced men,
unacquainted with the country, and clto
pether ignorant of the route itself. That
company was able to accomplish what
ever was possible to be accomplished
Thev had a full treasury three millions
of Maryland bonds, and could -command
any amount of credit. And, notwith
standing all the dilflcullies of the times
through which they Lad passed not
withstanding the unprecedented embar
rassment of monetary and commercial af
fairs they had steadily and perseveringlv
progressed until they h?.d reached the
Western base of the Alloghenics. The
management cf the Company was en
trusted to able hands, to men unsurpassed
in intellect and sagacity, who were caoa-1
hie of important enterprise and ble to
finish what they undertook. And as ih-
irgmia route was practicable, they wo-.lu
proceed on t.,:;: route, unless they rercud

from the amoant of tonnaffc, and me raits
but reprobate the selfishness of her course,
pursued unremittingly m regard to this
measure. It was the interest of Penn
sylvania that this bill would secure the
greatest good and avert the greatest evil
that could tall to her lot. Pittsburg had
been visited by one of the most diastrons
conflagrations th:;t had ever occurred in
the United States; but when he returned
from the Legislature last Session, he
found that (he failure of this bill had oc
casioned vastly more regret, than all the
loss occasioned by that calamity. It was
a disaster worse than fire. But he could
tell the gentlemen that if they visited
Pittsburg now, they would not find the
city in ruins, as it then was, but they
would 6ce magnificent buildings erected
by the indomitable energy of her citi
zens, in the place of the smouldering
rubbish and fallen tenements which he
then saw. And it was a fact almost with
out a parallel, that all the extent of that
loss had not occasioned a single failure.
And now he would call upon the Legis
lature to sustain the interests of that city
to prevent the ruin of her trade, and to
protect her from an evil ten times greater
than all the disasters she had ever suf
fered. Mr. I), was followed by Messrs. Big

THE TARIFF. ;' 10 ','d
The House resumed the consideration;
of the Resolutions relative to the Tariff-1
in Committee of the Whole, Mr. Grav fiD
the Chair. ' rutj
Mr. Hill, (Montgomery,) defining hi
position, and declaiming his intention 'to
vote for the amendment of the gentleman
from Westmoreland, (Mr. Burrell.)
Mr. Knox said that members were
generally agreed as to the justness of the
principles embodied in the first resolution
of the gentleman from Wesstmoreland.
He subscribed to them, but objected to
the resolution of instruction attached to
them. AVe have, three distinct proposi
tions before us, said Mr. K. First, the
Senate resolutions, instructing against any
modification of the Tariff of 18 42, assert
ing in effect that it was perfect, that it
needed no modification. The amend
ments of the gentleman from Bedford,
(Mr. Pioilet,) contains the same general
principles, the correctness of which can
not be doubted- but there is something
more attached to it; it asserts that the
existing Tariff laws are unjust, une
qual and oppressive. He should vote
for this amendment, he believed its lan
guage just. -it-Mr."
K. denied that he r was a Free
Trade man, or that he was advocating
anti-Pennsylvania interests in opposing
defects in the Tariff of 1812. So far
from being a free trade man, he was m
favor of protection in a certain sense, but
he differed with many in this, that he
made revenue the principal, and protec
tion the incident, whilst they made pro
tection the principal, and revenue the in
cident. The present Tariff amounted to
probition on certain articles,& he contend
ed that the prohibitive policy was no more
that of Pennsylvania, than it was that "of
the Democracy of South Carolina, or the
Whigs of Georgia. ; ' :
Mr. K. then went into an examination
of the manner in which the Tariff law or
'42, had been formed, and asserted that we
have it from the idol of the WhV nartv.'l
that there may be defects in it.
Mr. Iv. objected to the tariff of '42, he
saici, because discriminations are all in
favor of one class in lavor of the manu
facturing interest. Again, on account ' of
na uisiaiuunauons in lavor ot capital-a-T,

Mississippi U. S. Senators. Gen.
Henry S. Footc aod Joseph W. Chal
mers, Esq., h ave been elected as U. S.
Senators for the State of Mississippi -the
first for six years from the fourth of March
1847, and the latter to fill the unexpired
term of Secretary Walker ending March
4, 1848. The vote by which they were
chosen is as follows:
Gen. Foote 96 Geo. Winchester '35
JasW Chalmers 96 -. 33
John C. Calhoun.
Mr. Calhoun has been thirty-five
years in the National Councils.' His
whole career has been but a succession of
excentricitics, in the progress of which
he has stumbled over and stultified all the
principles and measures which he ever
avowed or advocated. He was, in 1817,
advocate, if not the Father, of a Protect
ive Tariff; to destroy which, in 1828, he
deliberately urged a dissolution of the
Union. He was, in 1816, the most
prominent advocate of-the Bank of the
United States; to destroy which, he sub
seqenlly aided others to convulse and
prostrate the Republic.
When Tylerism was in its dog-star de
lirium, he was called to the office of Sec
retary of State. , Even the North and
East hailed this appointment with joy.
But he used his place iox rush Texas,
with its Debt and Slavery, into the U
nion. Discarded by President Polk, to
whose election he contributed largely, he
appeared in the Memphis Convention
the advocate of that system of National
Internal Improvement which he had so
often and so vehemently denounced as
unconstitutional ?
When as a consequence resulting from
the seduction of Texas, England pressed
us into a corner about Oregon, Mr. ' Cal
houn offered to return to the Senate as an
advocate for peace, he called upon the
North and the East to stand by him.'
Yes, the men, but for whose iniquitous
proceeding with Texas, Peace would not
have been menaced, appeal to the North
and East to hold them back to restrain
them from doing what they stand vaunt
ingly pledged to perform. And the
magnanimous, or the credulous, among
us, failing to sec that the only way that
Peace: without an abandonment of es
sential rights and interests, can be preser
ved, instead of casting all the res ponsi
bilities of the question upon a Southern
Administration, arc nibbling at Mr. Cal
houn's skilfully baited hook! That hook
will soon be felt in their gijls, and then
avc shall see them floundering in vain!
For the sake of a Peace which, had all
New England backed John Quincy Ad
ams, would not have been endangered,
a Protective Tariff will not be sac
rificed. Another triumph, therefore,
awaits Slavery and Free Trade, and like
all their former triumphs, achieved by
the aid of those who "pay for heatining
the poker." Alb. Jour,
The Jilschlef Already Done.
from the umtfdstaes gazette, Jan 27.
What has Congress done? Those
who answer that question, connecting
the President's Message with the move
ments in Congress, will show up an a
mount of evil that would appal a man
.who looked only to the good of the coun
try as a motive of action. The language
of the Executive, and the movements in
his favor in Washington, has inflicted a
blow upon the foreign commerce of this
country that must be sensibly felt by
every man who has the least connexion
with that portion of the means of national
prosperity. Hundreds of voyages, that
included some considerable time for com
pletion, have been postponed in appre
hension of a war between Great Britain
and this country. We might easily refer
to several within our own knowledge,
where Philadelphia capital was to aid
Philadelphia enterprise, and the business
of our good city receive a valuable addi
tion, which in consequence of the most
untimely message of the President, and
the most unreasonable course of some of
those men in Congress who can lose
nothing, and may. gain much by any con
vulsion, have been entirely laid aside, the
risk of a long voyage, under existing cir
cumstances, being too great for any pro
posed profits.
Another result of this stats of things is
the use of foreign vessels, instead of the
shipping of the United States, and the
mortification of seeing an American cargo
coming-inlo port under an Austrian or a
Spanish flag. There is no end to the
mischief resulting to a business commu
nity from "the rumors of war" that have
disturbed the plan3 of our citizens ru
mors having their origin in flanguage and
action at the seat of Government as un
necessary and unsanctioned by any real
difficulties as any false rumor and un
sactioned language could be.
When will Congress learn to know
that manufacturing party capital from
important international questions is a
most dangerous, we had almost said, trea
sonable use of power and position? Let
members of Congress calmly institute an
inquiry into the amount of mischief to
the business of the country which has
resulted from the unnecessary proceed
ings and language on the Oregon ques
tion, and they will find that months of
sober devotion to the true interests of the
country, or an abstinence from all inter
ference, will be necessary to restore busi
ness to its proper channel. Nothing can
compensate for the injury done.
An Expedition.
,? Mr. Thomas J. Southerland proposes
through one of the New York papers, to
organize and conduct to Oregon a party
of armed and unarmed emigrants, a so
ciety to be established in New York, cal

corps of 400 mounted riflemen, 400 in
fantry, 200 artillery, and a corps of ca

Potatoes.
The IiOndon correspondent of the Bos
ton Traveller says it is an ascertained fact
that, not only are the crops short, but the j
potatoes that have been saved for winter
consumption, are nearly all rotten, and
decomposition is constantly going on.
The Board of Trade has been collecting
information respecting the actual present
amount of the potato crop, and the week
ly supply, of potatoes in London. It is
supposed that this inquiry is made that I
Government may justify itself before r
Parliament, in proposing the abolition of 1
the Corn Laws. Growers of potatoes
j are anxious to get rid of them immediate
. ly, as they rot so rapidly, and hence the
cause ol a lull supply in tne large mar
kets. The railways bring immense quan
tities to the London markets, and the pro
vinces are being drained. As they are
6old at a low price, some persons are led
to believe that the supply will continue;
but the best judges predict that before the
end of this month there will be few or no
potatoes in the thickly populated coun
ties of England or Ireland. Farmers
who have large crops, either hurry them
to market or give them liberally to cattle
and pigs, in order to get rid of them be-
! fore disease destroys them. He adds:
"In the most respectable dining-room at
the West-End of London, in which I
have been dining the last two months, I
have rarely had a potato that was not
slightly marked with black spots, and
these spots indicate the disease. If such
potatoes were left another month they
would not be fit for human food. Little
is said about this disease at this time by
the press; but that potatoes will command
a most exorbitant price in a month or so,
I am certain, and as for sekd potatoes for
spring planting, there will be none. A
letter from Ireland says: 'Another month,
and the evil will not only be irremediable,
but the horrors of pestilence, and the
irrepressible manifestations of agrarian
discontent, will prove how deeply seated
is the disease, and how desperate will
have become the dispositions of a wret
ched and alllictcd population.' " Bickn.
Reporter.
From Brazil.
By an arrival at Baltimore on Saturday
intelligence has been received of a tre
mendous engagement between the Anglo
allied forces at the River Plate and some
of Rosas's batteries at the mouth of the
River Parana. On the part of the Eng
lish and French the victory was complete;
not, however, without serious losses as
regards life and property in the way of
shipping. A letter says:
"The English brig of war Dolphin a
lone received one hundred and seven
round shot in her hull and rigging during
the engagement, the French steamer Ful
ton one hundred and four shot, and a
French vessel, or at least a vessel manned
by Frenchmen, but formerly belonging to
the Buenos Ayreans, was completely rid
dled. The total loss of the allies amounts
to about one hundred and fifty killed and
wounded, while on the part of the enemy
no correct statement has yet been made
public. Report says that upwards of
eight hundred men are missing. Certain
it is that in one fort no less thaiilip hun
dred and fifty bodies were found, and in
another some one hundred and fifty or
one hundred and sixty, and, what is still
more strange, they were ?11 blacks. To
account for this, it is said that as fast as a
white man fell, killed or M ounded, he was
immediately carried off, while the poor
blacks were kept at it, and lay where they
fell.
"Once or twice these miserable wret
ches attempted to flee from the forts; but
no sooner did they attempt it than Rosas's
cavalry charged on them, and compelled
them to return to their guns at the point
of the lance. Rosa seemed to have anti
cipated the flight of his men, and placed
these cavalry there on purpose to keep
them in check; for, on the landing of
some four hundred and fifty men from
the vessels of war, they met with but
very little opposition."
A ISreak-i:p.
The Missouri Statesman gives the
following account of a singular phenome
non which occurred on the night of the
27th ultimo in the lake opposite Roche
port: "A tremendous crash was heard about
4 o'clock in the morning, and several per
sons visited the lake at daylight. From
the a ppearance of the ice it was evident
that it had been up-heaved with great
violence by the agency of some subterra
nean power. Large pieces of ice stood
on end on every side of the spot at which
the 'great deep' had been broken up; and
in some places large heaps of the 'frozen
element' had been made from six to
twelve feet high. Upon the surface of
the unbroken ice, around the spot where
the breach was made, lay numbers of fish;
some of large size; also quantities of mud
most evidently dislodged from the bottom
of the lake. The water in the lake is
about len feet deep."
A gang of Counterfeiters, six in num
ber, headed by a man named Jas. Brown.
have been arrested, and committed to Jail j
at Akron, Ohio. '
