29th Congress Session.
A
TARIFF AND ANTI-TARIFF-SCENE.
-
Correspondence of the Bait. Patriot.
' Washington, March 2, 1840.' '
The ways and doings of the British
Free Trade party in this country,'' and
their co-workers and co-'adjutors,? the
Lordly Manufacturers of England, arc ra
pidly developing themselves!
The proceedings of Congress being
dull to-day, I accepted an invitation to vis
it the room of the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, where I
found a Mr. Homer, brother to Sidney
Homer, whose anti-tariff letter appeared
in the Inst number of the "Union," ex
hibiting about 200 specimens of goods of
English manufacture, with like goods of
American production, and prices attached
to each in order to convince members
of Congress that our Tariff ought to '.be
struck down!
I don't know whether I enjoyed an
hours time more heartily. Mr. Homer
is a gentlemenly person, who seems, to
understand the wants of the English
Manufacturers admirably well Indeed
he told those present that he had resided
in Manchester, England, for ten years,
engaged in sending British goods to .'this
country, and that he left 'England to re-'
side in the United States in 1842. . He
has amassed a large fortune, and seems
to come to instruct Congress in behall of
"Sir Robert Walker," on the one side,
and the Manufacturers of Manchester on
the other. He brings a letter of instruc
tion and recommendation from Mr. Alex.
Henry, a great capitalist in Manchester,
which is dated January 3, 1840, and was
received per the steamer Hibcrnia. 1 A
part of this letter, Mr, Homer exhibits
to those .who wish to puruse it, TheBri
lish writer of it, in speaking of Mr.Polk's
anti-tariff' message to Congress, exclaims
-A second Daniel come to jugdment!
A second Sir. Richard Cobden!" He
praises the message very much thereby
showing how highly it is appreciated ; by
the British Manufacturers!
In regard to Mr. Homer's mission to
instruct Congress into the belief that it
would be best to break down the Ameri
can Manufacturers and exhault those of
Great Britain, Mr. Henry writes: "I am
glad that you, whose long experience as
our Importer, enables you so. well to un
derstand the subject, have taken it in hand;,
for' if the object of those .at Washington
be. to obtain sound information and arrive
at just conclusions in the proposed altera
tions of the present tariff, the information
which you can lay before them will be
highly valuable.
There were present in the room while
I was there, Messrs. Stewart, Collamer,
and Hubbard.of the, House 'Mr. Wethered
of Biitimorc. Also two or three anti
tariff membcrs,Vho left. You may well
imagine that such gentlemen as I have
named would, under the circumstances,
put some searching questions to Mr. Ho
mer, coming there for such a purpose and
so recommended! And I assure you that
they did put them! Mr. Iloiner answer
ed as well perhaps as any free trader
could but never have I seen a man . '.so
completely cornered. -
He exhibited two pieces of calico which
he said had been manufactured by Sena
tor Simmons, of Rhode Island, who sold
them one for 17 cents per ' -yard-ami 'the
other for 14 or 15. Mr. Wethered raid
there was a mistake in this, and went lip
to the Senate and requested Mr Sim
mons to come down into the Committee
room, who readily assented tcr the request.
He said the pieces in question werenotic
of his manufacture, and from the quality
the best piece was hot worth over "2 i
cents, and the other not over 10i per
yard. Those persons from whom Mr Ho
mer had obtained tyem, had deceived hhn
Mr. H. said the manufacturers of this
species of good3 made a profit of from
60 to 80 per centum. Mr. Hubbard ask
ed him why then more persons did not
invest their capital in such profiable busi
ness! He asked Mr. Homer why he
did not embark in the businessf ?The
latter replied that he wonld invest $50,
OOOin it, if he did not fear that so many
would rush into the cnterprse as to bring
down the profits, by competition so low
as to destroy business; Mr -Stewart nsked
if that was not the AmericVn T6etrine,that
competition reduced not only profits, but
the prices? Mr. Collamar asked who but
benefit fr ' i riJuniust to the manufacturers than
iictnr,, r. it..uk.? ----V

he did not invest his nital in this line
of business w:is J beean rnmnetition
" . -
would bring down the prices of the goods
manufactured? Mr. Homer , faltered in
his reply, and said there were seversl rea
sons why he would not engage in manu
factures. One "was, that the market
would be fluctuating. , -
; Mr, , Wethered,. seeing the state of
tilings and exercising his compassion said
it was too bad for so many, to be against
one. He hoped-the Tariff folks in Con
gress would also have a committee room,'
as well as the British manufacturers,' with
specimens for examination and 'compari
son, and that they would appoint some
sensible gentleman to superintend it and
argue the matter single handed with Mr.
Homer. Whereupon the gentlemen made
their bows and took their leave. , I fear
Mr. Homer will find his mission too hot
for him. The American people don't
like these kind of missions on be half of
British'manufacturers" who seek the des
truction of the American Tariff, howev
er plausible and right the thing may ap
pear in the eyes of Mr. Polk or Mr.
Walker. . : ' " r::

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDEXT.
The Democratic Union "Unrat
ed Its Boiler."
About 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon,
whilst we were sitting in our sanctum
conversing with a friend, we were arous
ed by a terrible explosion, and crash of
timber and glass scattered in fragments a
gainst our walls and on the pavements be
fore our "door, which proved to be occa
sioned by the bnrsting of the boiler of
the steam engine of the "Democraic U
nion." It exploded with a report as from
a heavy piece ol ordnance.
The engine was in the basement of the
four story building occupied by the Uni
on. The head of the boiler flew up
ward with such powerful force, as to cut
away the heavy girders of the first and
second floors, and pass through . the third
floor to the ceiling of the fourth story!
ripping arid tearing everything in, its
course, and scattering destruction all! a
round. The doors and windows of.. the"
basement and first floor, and every . thing
near the engine, were shattered to atoms,
and even the wall of the building wasi
bulged out and so much injured that it
will be necessary to rebuild it. There was
a terrible scatterment amongst the type in
the second story, and lots of "pi" made.
Notwithstanding there were from thirty
to forty persons in the building at the
explosion, but three or four were at all in
jured, and they but slightly a most mi
raculous escape. Mr. Lescure, one of
the proprietors, was standing at the front
door, and was thrown violently into the
street. He was struck on the head by
some fragment, and slightly hurt. One
of the boys on the first floor was a little
scalded; and the foreman and one of tho
boys were standing at a desk on the third,
floor, within a few feet of- the spot where
the head of the boiler went through
The foreman was raised from his feet,fe in
descending lodged amongst the baoken
timbers of the floor. He escaped whol
ly uninjured, but we rather guess, he was
a BEETLE frightened.
Altogether it was a most frightful acci
dent, and it is wonderful that no destruc
tion of life attended it. The editors of
the Union are the State Printers, and the
accident will occasion some delay in the
public printing. The damage done is es
timated at several thousand dollars .-Pa.

RICHIT OF WAY MEETING AT
PITTSBURGH.
A meeting of the citizens of Allegheny
county was held in Pittsburgh on the 17th
inst. . Among the resolutions adopted is
the following:
5. Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Pittsburg, here assembled, of all parties
pledge ourselves unanimously to support
no man, now or hereafter, .for any
office, who opposes the Right of Way,
and we recomend to our citizens of West
ern Pennsyslvania to pursue the same,
course. ; . . ,
" The Gazette in speaking of the meet
ing,says: .
As the people ol all the Western counr
ties are now moving in this great matter
w-e ask their attention to the 5th resolu
tion passed at our meeting, in reference
to supporting men for office opposed to
the right of way. If the right of way bill
is defeated we must make this a question
hereafter ia all our elections for State
officers, and support men in favor of the
right of way withbnt any regard to their
politics. ; This is the determination "of all
partiesin this section. .If the bill be
comes a law-.. M this : session, . ol course
thir:will not be necessary; political .mat
ter will then take their ordinary course.
But if the bill is defeated we must make
this the great question at -our fall elec

upon the tariff, England and her new
policy have been held up as models for
our example; but we find that, instead of
following the pattern set us, our manu
facturers are to do their business under
less favorable circumstances than those of
Great Britain. i
Their modifications have been made
With a view of making cheap bread, and
of cheapening the articles consumed .by
manufaturers. Here the new bill impo
ses on the articles used by "manufacturers
of cotton a tariff equal to ihe amount of
the tariff on the goods themselves; thus
placing our manufacturers at a positive
disadvantage in competing with England
in the markets of the world.
To s.how how much more liberal Eng
land is than Mr. Walker, it is sufficient
to say, that out of near five hundred ar
ticles, upon which the duty was repealed
or reduced in 1845, there was not an ar
ticle which could be eaten, but all were
used for manufacturing purposes. In
bur new tariff, the 20 per cent, schedule
is chiefly occupied with enumerating ar
ticles not made in this country, but which
are used to a large extent in manufactu
ring. The 10 and 5 per cent, schedules
are also nearly filled in this way, and if
the framers of the bill tried to place our
manufacturers at the mercy of Europe, it
could not have been done more eflectual-
ly. . . . .
The bill, in all its details, is grossly
unjust, and when it shall come before
C ongress we hope that it will be dispu
ted at every point. It cannot fail tojpros
trate many of our factories, and the
Whigs owe it .to themselves to give the
bill an opposition so effectual that, all the
ruin i t causes shall be chargeable to its
supporters. New York Express.

NEW HAMPSHIRE REVOLUTIONIZED!
The Boston papers of Friday morning
bringj us later and more decisive returns
of the New Hampshire election. There
is no choice of Governor, or Member of
Congress; and the Radical Loco, Focos
will be in a minority in the new Legisla
ture. Of the twelve Senators the Ijbco
Focos have so far only two; and the va
cancies, which will be numerous, Will be
pretty certainly filled by Whigs or Inde
pendent Democrats: thus giviug the op
position the entire control of the Legisla
ture. Upon this body will 'devolve the
choice of Governor, and of a United
States Senator for the unexpired term of
one year,' and a full term of six years.
General James Wilson is one of the
representatives elect, of Kcene. This
gentleman has been previous to the last
year, at the West, in an official capacity;
and was a famous Whig orator during
the Harrison campaign of 1840; and a
prominent member of the National Con
vention which nominated Gen. Harrison.

Glass Manufactories.
There are now nineteen fiintglass
manufactories (says the Brooklyn Adver
tiser) in full opertion in this country,
affording employment to upwards of six
thousand persons. Before the passage
of the tarifl'of 1842 there were but four
or five in operation, some of them but
partially worked, and the workmen were
idle. The operatives are all now em
ployed, their wages thirty three per cent,
higher than in 1842, and the glass is of
superior manufacture to a foreign 'article.
Three millions of dollars are annually ex
pended in American materials and lafor
by our manufacturers in this branch of
industry, and not twentyfouf thousand
dollars for foreign products. If the pro
posed reduction af the tariff takes place,
it will in a great measure destroy the
American manufactories of flnt glass,
throw a great number out of employment
and destroy the consumption of the pro
ducts of American labor to the amount of
a million & a half of dollars. This mon
ey will go to Europe to pay for European
products and European labor. This in
terest particularly requires protection,
because there are so many interests bene
fited, the whole materials used coming
from the bowles of theearth,and arc there
fore a clear gain to the country.
