The Whigs and Antimasons of Somer set County, and all others in favor of the Tariff of 1842 and opposed to the Sub treasury audio British -Manufactures, are requested to assemble in County Meet ing, at the Court House in Somerset, on Tuesday evening of the ensuing Court week, for the purpose of expressing their sentiments on these and other measures of National and .State poliev. WHIG CITIZENS. The Crops. During the past week wc were favored with frequent showers of rain, and the growing crops present a rery promising appearance. PEACE OR IV A It f The Resolutions for "notice" having passed both Houses of Congress, in a modified form, it is lclired that thus far Ihere exists no cause for war between the United States and England. There is nothing offensive in the language of the Resolutions themselves, nor is the giving notice to England to be viewed a a warlike measure on the part of our Gov ernment. It Js not intended as such. The ResoIutioES look to a settlement of the difficulty after the notice shall have been given, without a resort to arras and it is only by the adoption of some other measure, either by our own Gov ernment or that of Great Britain, that w ar is likely to be brought on. Such a measure we believe to be the Oregon Bill which has passed the House, provided it also pastes the Senate and becomes a law. But a large majority of Senators appear to be conservative in their views, and hence itii inferred that the Bill will be rejected in that body, and that war will thus be averted, at least for the present. On the contrary, should that inference be -wrong, axd the Bill consequently pass, then wc cannot prepare for fight too soon. The moment our laws are ex tended over Oregon, that raoment the torch of war wiil be lighted. As regards our Government, the qnestion of peace or war therefore now remains entirely with the Senate, the decision of which is look ed for with more than ordinary interest. "let well enough alone !" This admonition applies with equal Jorre to all the affairs of life, both pub lic and private; and fortunate would it be for men in general if it were more strictly regarded. But we know of no particular case to which it would better apply, than that of the existing Taxi IT, which it appears to be the object of the President to have reduced. Under the Tarifl of 1828 our country was prosper ous; but that Tariff had to be destroyed to gratify the South; and all know what ensued. The country was carried to the brink of ruin, and the national treasu ry had become almost bankrupt The policy of 182S had to be again resorted to, and the present Tariff was established; and now, that things begin to look pros perous again, this well-tried policy, which within the last eighteen years has twice lifted up the country and given an impulse to every branch of business in which the industrial classes are engaged, is again assailed and is in danger of being broken down and eradicated, to gratify the same craven spirit which caused the destruction of the Tariff of 1828. If we had any influence with the President, we should say to him "let well enough a lone;" if he were to consult our farmeas and mechanics, they would answer him bv savins lct well enough alone;" and if the voice of the thousands- engaged ia various domestic manufactures could reach Ids car, he would hear one univer sal shout of "la tccll enough ahncf' Tlie Sulilrcasnrj. The passage of the Subtrcasury Bill in one branch of Congress has caused no little excitemeni in th.3 large cities, par ticularly in New York, where a large a ranunt of Government funds is deposited in tl.r Ban!?, and apprehensions are eu- UTL-.Ined of another suspension of specie ; '?.VM(iiits, in care the Bill should become ( 3 i.v.,-i;i ;";c form in whirh it has passed: the House of Representatives. - The National Fair. Extensive preparations axe in progress at .Washington for the Great National Fair, which is to be held there during the present month. A large building has been erected for the special purpose of arran ging and exhibiting the various articles of American skill and enterprize that are expected from every section of the Uni on. The exhibition will no doubt be a "great affair," the, interest of which will be not a little enhanced by the presence of most of the great mex of the nation- Henry Clay, we hope, among the number. Wc imagine it will be a scene the sight of which would do "one good for half a life-time, and feel not a litdc "down in the mouth" on account of being deprived, by a "chain of circum stances," as the lawyers say, of the plea sure of witnessing it. furnaces. We have already four Furnaces in this county, and in case the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is completed to Pittsburgh, and Congress does not interlere with the present duty on Irgn,- we may have a number more erected in the course of a few years. Our mountains contain an abuu dance of rich ore, and our streams afford ample water power for all the ma chinery necessary to convert it into iron. The following furnaces are either in blast or in the course of erection: "Rockingham Fnrnace," in Shade township,' Henry Little, proprietor. "Shade Furnace." now owned by Shryers, Bingham fc Co. "Jenner Furnace," Huber, Myers &, Co., proprietors. Concmaugh Furnace," in progress of erection by King &, Schoneberger. Counterfeits. Spurious notes on the State Bank of Indiana, Erie Bank, one of ihc Baltimore Banks, and on several others, arc said to be in circulation, mostly in Western Pcnnfrlrania. Spurious American and Mexican half-dollars are also in circula tion in Ohio and elsewhere. Persons receiving money should be very cautious. E2?Merchants and others M'ho may defect counterfeit money, would do a ser vice, to the public by sending us a de scription of the same for publication. Eionr side up. The Harrisburg Ar gus, a Democratic paper, says "if the is sue is ever made in Pennsylvania, be tween the doctrines of Mr. Walker, and thoee advocated by Mr. Stewart, the people will understand, and show by their votes which side they espouse." The Argus is correct Pennsylvania is a Tariff State, and only for the deception practised upon a portion of her citizens by the friends of James K. Polk, would have cast her vote for Henry Clay, the Tariff candidate for the Presidency in 1814. Hear "the Organ!" The Washing ton Union, Mr. Polk's official paper, in speaking of the proposed National Fair, says: "We have no doubt ikat the friends of Free Trade will meet the ef forts of the manufacturers snd their friends in the true, vigorous, and determined spirit." and concludes by denouncing the Tariff as an "abominable system P' Who won't believe after this that Mr. Polk is an out-and-out Free Trader! THE TARIFF. The following, which we find append ed to Mr. Stewart's late speech ia Con gress, wc publish for the information and consideration of our readers. The re monstrance can be cut out and pasted on a sheet of writing paper. Remonstrance. The Tarifl reported by the Committee of Ways and Means is substantially the bill from the Treasury Department, re ducing many of the most important pro tective duties one half other two thirds. Iron and coal are stripped of nearly two thirds of their present protection. Strong indications have been given of a deter mination to press this destructive mea sure to a speedy decision before the peo ple have time to see or understand its pro visions, and it is believed that nothing can arrest it but a strong and prompt ex pression of popular opinion against it. It is, therefore, recommended to the press friendly to American Industry throughout the country to publish and distribute with their papers, a brief re monstrance signed by the friends of A merican Industry, without distinction of party, to this effect. "To the Senate and Horse of Rep resentatives of the United States: The undersigned citizens of tlie State of Pennsylvania, respectfully remonstrate against any change of the present Tariff, which has rendered our country eminent ly prosperous. Any change at this time while capital is being rapidly and cxten tcnsively invested in manufactures, increa sing the markets for agriculture and the employment for labor, would, in the opin ion of tlie undersigucd, be highly injuri ous to the best interests of our country. From the Cincinnati Union, Extra, April 27. Nine O Clock A. 31. War Declared by Mexico AGAINST THE UNITED STATES! By the following letter which we received this morning from the office of the Louisville Morning Courier it appears that Mexico lias actually Declared War against the United States! and that the whole of the Mexican Coast is now under blockade. Louisville Morning Courier, Office, Sunday Afternoon, 2 o'clock. To the Editors of the Union: The Steamer Peytona has just arrived irora New Orleans. She left that place on Monday evening last, at 6 o'clock. I sendvou by Capt. Haldeman.of the York town, the following very important news. The Steamship Alabama arrived at New Orleans, from Galveston, ona hour before the Peytona left, and the following Mem. was copied from her Manifest. "Mem. Off bar S. W. Pass, spoke the U. S. Steamer Col. Harney, dirtct from Brasos Santiago, bound to this port. The Col. H. Reports that WAR had been de clared by Mexico against the United Stales, and the whole Mexican coast was now under blockade from Fort Jackson! P. S. The Col. II. will be tip-to-night. . The Peytona was only 5 days and 17 hours from port to port, it will be two or three days before later intelligence ar rives. In haste, yours, W. N. HALDEMAN. CSThe above important news was j brought by the splendid Steamer Cambria, Capt. Wm. rorsyth, to tins city about 10 o'clock, last night. Capt. F. will please accept our hearty thanks for the favor. The news is one day in advance of the mail. Arrival of the Steam Ship GREAT WESTERN. 7 Days Later from England, THE MONEY MARKET EASIER AND THE PROVISION AND PRO DUCE MARKETS STEADY AND FIRM COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS I M PRO VIN G PARLIAMENT AD JOURNED TILL AFTER EASTER PROBABLE PASSAGE OF THE TARIFF BILL INTERESTING FROM SPAIN NAKVAEZ'S AD MINISTRATION AT AN END. The Great Western was telegraphed in New York Bay yesterday, at 11 o'clock, and the heads of the more important parts of her news coiHmunicated to this citv, by Magnetic Telegraph, at -about hall past one o'clock. There is but little change hi the Lon don money market. Prices are steady and firm. Corn and Flour are taken freely at for mer prices, though neither have advan ced. The general feeling throfigh Europe is pacific. The last news received from the United States, which was by the packet ship Independence, which dates to the 10th of March, had been the soarce of much satisfaction to the English people. Commercial Affairs are improcing in England. There is no change in the provision market. There are no parliamentary proceed ings to report, as that body had adjourn ed until after the Easter hollidys, and of course all the great measures before it were laid over. On its reassembling, Peel will bring up the Irish Coercion bill and press it to a first reading:, the Cora bill was to follow, and be rinally disposedof. The Tariff Bill, it is ex pected, will be passed. . The tone and feeling in regard to the Oregon question was much the same as at last advices. In the Iron trade a reaction had taken place, and pri ces are lower. Sir Henrv Hardinge, and Sir Hugh II. Gough. who figured in the Sihk war, have been created Peers. Rothschild has the monopoly of tobac co inEnrope, his agents have been buy ing the future crops in the U. States. The latest accounts from Spain show that General Narvaez s administration was at an end. It was rent asunder by the discovery of an intrigue, on the part of Christiana and the Patriarch of the In dies, to supercede Narvaez in farorof the intriguing woman's latest favorites, the Baron de Mecr and the Marquis dc Yi luma. In Persia the cholera is raging with de vastating effect. The present average rate of wages in Paris is 2s. lid. a day, and Is. 6d. iu the provinces. ' ' Prayers are offered up in all the An glican Churches throughout G. Britain, for the success against the Sikhs, and a form of prayer has been composed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, thanking the Almighty for recent victories on the Sut lej.

' , The American provision trade has par teken to the facilities which the Treasury order affords. .Considerable supplies of beef and provisions have been released from duty under the low duties, and are finding their way into general consump tion. Italy is still -troubled. Austrian bay onets keep the people quiet, but it is im possible to quell the ihnie.which has been so long smouldering, mar burst out. THE COOLEST YET. The Boston Traveller says; "As one of the Roxbury omnibusses; fully loaded with passengces, was coming over the Neck, a young man jumped in, and de liberately collecting all the fares, jumped out again. To the astonishment of the poor passengers, on arriving at the head of State steet, they were informed by the driver that the gentlemanly collector had j notning to do with the concern, and that his collections Averc made entirely on his own account."
