Secretaries.
I). M. N.uvser, Eq., after a few ap
propriate and eloquent remarks upon liie
ruinous consequences that must ensue to
t ie Industrial interests of the country from
t ic passage of the. new Tarifl Law, and
Hie necessity of a union of effort upon
the pari of all friends of the Protective
Policy t3 remedy and ward off, so far as
way be practicable, the evils threatened,
moved the adoption of the following Pre
amble and Resolutions :
Wiureas, the interest-? and the idns
try of Pennsylvania are vitally and essen
tially connected with the system of Pro
tection to American labor and laborers;
and whereas, on the subject of the duty
iiul nnlicv tf cxtendinr adequate protec
tion lo such, ill ere is no difference of
opinion among the people composing the
two great political parties of Pennsylva
nia, however they may be temporarily
misled or deceived by designing men:
Therefore,
Resolved, That we look upon the pas
Fsige by Congress of the Bill to reduce
the duties on imports, commonly known
as M'Kav's Dill, as striking a fatal blow
al the interests of American labor and in
dustry, and especially at those intercuts
of our own Stale, which are dependent
upon Protection lor Uieir prosperity ami
mcccss; and that it therefore becomes the
iiocndeji suid -sacred duty of every Penn
sylvania!!, without distinction of party, to
do all in his power to avert or break, the
for -c of the impending blow.
Resolved, That to this end, all the en
ergies of Pennsylvania ought immediately
and unremittingly to be directed lo the
work of procuring a repeal of the law
.-iliove mentioned, and a restoration of the
net of 1812 with such modifications, in its
details, if any be necee sary, as may be
deemed wise and salutary.
Resolved, Thai with the accomplish
ment of such an enterprise, no mere party
objects or interests ought to be suffered
to interfere, but that all, Democrats and
Whirs, should, rmd, we trust, will stand,
shoulder lo shoulder, whilst all unite their
voices to swclUhecry of "Refill !" in
response to ihc appeal. of Hon. Simon
Cameion, one of our Senators in Con
gress, and in obedience to the dictates of
an enlightened self interest and sound
State policy.
Resolved, That as one mans for die
accomplishment of this end, wc approve
of die immediate formation of a Society
for the promotion of interests and pros
perity of American labor, and to secure a
Jiome maiket for our own agricultural
products; and recommend the formation
of similar associations throughout the
State.
Resolved, That, as a further means, we
recommend to the citizens f Pennsylva
nia, to give, as far as practicable, a prefer
ence, in all cases, to home articles, fab
rics, and manufactures, over those of for
eign nations; and, if deemed expedient, to
unite themselves in associations on that
p.inciple.
Resolved, That we earnestly recom
mend to the State Central Committees of
the several political parties of the State,
io devise in concert, as soon as practica
ble, the form of a memorial to Congress,
io be circulatad throughout every part of
the State for signatures, and to be pre
sented to Congress at the commencement
of its next scssiou.
Resolved, that the diauks Gf the coun
try are due to our Representatives and
Senators in Congress for their support of
the industrial interests, in sustaining the
Tariff ot 1842 and opposing its repeal;
nnd especially to the lion. Simon Camer
on for his noble, faithful and eloquent ex
position a-ad defence of the interests of
Pennsylvania, as connected with this
great question.
The Resolutions were seconded by A.
R. Stlvenson, Esq., in a Jew pertinent
remarks similar in spirit lo those of the
mover, dwelling more propriety and im
portance of the suggestion contained in
the sixth Resolution, which he trusted
would meet with a prompt and cordial
A
response from the Central Committees of
the several great Parties.
The Hon. James Cooper, after expres
sing his pleasure at the commendable
spirit of the remarks made by trie gen
i!pnipii who had preceded him. and warm
l':mnrnviHir of the Resolutions before the
j I . O
meeting, entered upon an eloquent and
masterly exposition of the necessity of a
Protective Policy, the beneficial and re
vivifying influences of the Tariff of 1842
upon every department of Industry, and
the fearful blight that must necessarily
pass over the prosperity of the whole
country under the operation of the ill-advised
and iniquitous measure lately press
ed through the National Legislature. Mr.
C, in the course of his remarks, warmly
commended the efforts of our 'Senators
and representatives in Congress who
stood by the Tariff of 1842, and especial
ly the open, manly and honorable stand
assumed by .Mr. 'Cameron, who, while
Treason was plotting around him against
the vital interests of his State, stood man
fully up to their defence, and proved him
self a cha : pioa well worthy of associa
t n with the gifted spirits that ta iled
w
i.wu y.i bthuliof Afiiw-rkan industry,
The Resolutions havieg been unani
mously adopted, on motion of Mr. Coop
er it was

We have a little later news from the
Rio Grande, brought to New Orleans by
the Steamer Alabama, . which sailed from
Brasos on the 16th ult, Capt. Myers,
of the Army, Capt. McKcnzie,and Lieut.
Kclley, together with 110 volunteers, all
on the sick lisi came passengers. We
copy the subjoined items from die New
Orleans papers:
The Tropic says: "Wc arc informed
by a gentleman just from die seat of War
that Gen. Taylor, is gradual- fending
his troops- iuto the interior of Mexico,
shoving along one regiment after another,
forming the line that is to inarch to Mon
terey. The stores of the army arc trans
ported from the Brasos to Rio Grande in
wagons, and then shipped on board of
small steamboats to Matamoras, Rcynosa,
and Camargo the bar at the mouth of
the Rio Grande being so bad that Colonel
Whiting will not permit United States
boats to go in or out to the Brasos to
load.
"Major Thomas has been superceded
as Quartermaster at Rrasos Santiago by
Major McRae.
'The British brig of-war -Rose is off
the mouth of the Rio Grande. Capt. Per
ry, the commander, started from Point
Isabel with despatches for General Tay
lor. (What is in those despatches?)
The roads being by him considered im
passable, he sent them forward by Mr.
Turner, the Captain going back to his
ship.
"Fort Brown, it is stated, has four feet
of water in its interior, the Rio Grande is
so high.
"Mr. Shatzell having had no orders from
Washington to the contrary, has resum
ed hi office of American Consul al Mata
moras. "Gen. Taylor, it is said, is much wor
ried by die annoyances of forwarding
troops, and being perplexed with getting
supplies."
The Times says: "Wc learn that the
court martial on Capt. Tho n. n termina
ted on the lS'.h ultimo, and the general
impression is that he ha? been wquittcd.
The proceedings, however, will not be
made public until they have been
approved and confirmed by the President
at Washington. One passage of his re
ported defence had been commented on
with admiration by all in the camp at
Matamoras. He said that, in the per
formance of the act for w hich he was tri
ed rashness or precipitancy, we believe
he did nol see the numbers of the ene
my: all he saw was die Mexican. flag wa
ving over American soil, and "he was wil
ling to risk his own life in die attempt to
cut it down.".
Correspondence cf ihe Bee.
Matamoras July 12, 1816. .
1 Saturday we received a letter from a
Captain of Infantry at Reynosa,in which
he says the hijjh waters continue to in-
' crease, and that Camargo lias been se
verely injured by the overflow, if not des
troyed. Its situation is three miles from
the Rio Grande, on the San Juan river,
and it was reported at Reynosa that but
three houses had been left, but this is not
credited here; there is no doubt, however,
but that the place has suffered dreadfully.
About Reynosa all the fields on die river
have been destroyed, and many a cabin
swept away, but the town, being on a
high mound, is and will be unscadied.
A steamer started for Camargo a day
or two since, and another leaves this e
vening for the same place. Three com
panies of the 7th Iufantry, en route for
that place, readied Reynosa on the 8th,
and the balance of the rrg"ment were
hourly looked for. It is thought that, if
we occupy Monterey during the summer,
it will be from Cainargo, instead of Micr,
that the line will start, and the depot of
provisions will be at that place. .
" At Gen. Smith's encampment (Iouisi
ana Volunteers) I understand a . number
of severe cases of sickness have occur
red. About forty-five or fifty members of
the different companies of the Jackson
Regiment have been discharged or fur
Ioughcd in consequence -of sickness, and
will reach New Orleans about the time
this will.
The Catholic Chaplains sent out by
President Polk to officiate for the sol
diers professing that faith attempted this
morning to address the citizens of Mata
moras, but they were refused the use of
the church either to speak or preach in.
It may all be very well to tell the 'Mexi
can's they were sent here for the purpose
of administering their faith to the soldiers,
but it will not do to tell any body else so.
Whatever the design of the Chief Magis
trate in sending (hem maybe I cannot tell,
but I believe their mission has more to do
with the Mexican citizen than the Ameri
can soldier. Perhaps to convince them
that we do not wage a religious war, and
to win their affections.

NEWS FROM OREGON.
Two gentlemen, on their return from
Oregon arrived in this city yesterday.
One of diem, Mr. Palmer, belongs to In
diana; the other, Mr. Smith, is from
Ohio.
These gentlemen, in company with
some fifteen others, left Oregon City on
the 5 ill of March, and Dr. Whitman's
missionary establishment on the Walla
waiia river, on the l ttli of April. This
missionary establishment is represented
as in a flourishing condition, and enjoy
ing the confidence of the Indians.
Oregon City contains a population of
about eight Ixmdrcd. It contains two
churches, one a Methodist and the ether
a Catholic Church two flour mills and
three saw mills. Oregon City is now
the residence of Dr. McLaughlin, who
has resigned his post in the Hudson Bay
Company and is actively employed in
measures for the improvement of the ter
ritory. The canal around the Willa
mette Falls for the erection of which a
bill passed the Oregon Legislature last
year, it is now proposed to convert into a
railroad and it is expected lhat this will
be done in a year or two.
The territory of Oregon itself is rep-
1 resented to contain a population of about
7000, ail prosperously employed, and
those who went lo that counlrv last vear
arc well satisfied with their situation.
The intercourse between the Hudson
Bay Company and the Americans was of
a very friendly character. It is the o
pinion that the treaty arrangement will
not be satisfactory lo the Americans, but
the Hudson Bay Company seem to have
anticipated very accurately the boundary
which has been established. The coun
try North of the Columbia, which has
been generally represented as of a very
poor and 'indifferent quality, is not" so
regarded by our informapt. It is suscep
tible of cultivation, and is cultivated to a
very considerable extent by the Hudson
Bay Company, who find a market for
wheat, at 2,50 per bushel in the Russian
possessions.
This party pursued the usual route, re
turning home. It is a broadly marked
wagon road, some of the difficulties of
which are soon to be obviated by contem
plated improvements in the region of the
Cascade mountains.
Mr. Smith gives a most melancholly
accountof the progress and sufferings of
the St. Joseph's company of emigrants,
which left in 1S43, " under the pilotage of
Mr. ?Ieek. The company lost Heir way
and endured incredible hardships: They
were out forty days longer than usual,
and before their arrival at the Dallas of
the Columbia, some seventy-five cf the
company had died. A short supply of
provisions, and that of the worst quality
very poor cattle produced what was
called the "camp fever." Frequently,
too, they were twenty-four hours without
water for the children or the sick.

That there has hitherto been no step
taken, by Congress, to interpose its au
thority to restrain the President frcm car
rying out his designs ol conquest and
domination upon Mexico, must be either
because Congress does not believe in their
existence, or has no disposition lo thwart
them.
To show thai the report of such de
signs is nol without foundation, and that
designs af conquest, in the fullest sense
of the term, are entertained, wc present
to our readers the following evidence, not
to .be slighted, of one who evidently
speaks from persoal knowledge :
FROM THE ST. LOL1S REPUBLICAN OF July 23
" We care not how explicitly they
(the Democratic organs) may deny any
design on the part of the Administration
to prosecute a war of conquest in Mexico.
The thing has been determined upon al
ready.' Instructions have been given to
the' commanding officers of the army
which leave no room to question die
views of the Administration on this point.
It is to be a war of conqcet, re
gardless of wrongs suffered by citizens
of,or expenditures incurred in the prosecu
tion of the war by the United States.
We speak carefully and advisedly when
we say that no peace can take place no
terms of compromise will.be accepted
no medium will be recognised, which has
not for its basis the absolute surrender
of Upper and Lewer California, and the
Department of New Mexico, tothe U-
nited States. On no ground will the
Administration consent to a cessation of
hostilities, even for a momeiit. This is
the ultimatum this the basis of the in
structions to the commanding generals of
the array. The'Rio Grande to be the
boundary line between so much of the
Mexican territory as is not swallowed up
in this demand of the Administration
New Mexico and the whole cf Calif o
mas to be the absolute property cf the
United States! Whatever the "News"
may say, it is to be a war of acquisition
of conquest the terms of which are
dictated by the Administration before
hand made a condition precedent and
not dependent on the final settlement of
the differences between the two nations.
If any Senator or Representative shall be
desirous of ascertaining the true import
of the instructions which have issued
from Washington, let a demand be made
on the President for all the correspond
ence, and it will be lound that we have
iot spoken without audiority."
Our readers will find bv the following
letter from the Secretary of War to Col.
Stevenson of New York, that the Gov
ernment have definite designs in relation
to the Mexican Provinces, and that con
quest is the object aimed at. The letter
was laid before Congress in obedience to
some call for information.j
War Department, June 26, 1846.
Sir: The President having determin
ed to send a regiment of Volunteers a
round Cape Horn to die Pacific, to be em
ployed in prosecuting hostilities to some
province of Mexico, probably in Upper
California, has auUiorized me to say, that
if you wiil organize one on die conditions
hereinafter specified, and tender its servi
ces, it will be accepted. It is proper it
should be done with the consent of the
Governor of New York. The President
expects, and indeed requires, that great
care should be taken to have it composed
of suitable persons I mean of good hab
its as far as practicable, of various pur
suits, AND SrCH AS WOCLD BE LIKELY
TO REMAIN AT THE END OF THE WAR, EI
THER IN OREOON, OR IN ANY OTHER TER
RITORY IN THAT REGION OF THE GLOBE,
which may then be a part of the United
Stales. '
The act of the lSth cf May last au
thorizes the acceptance of volunteers for
twelvemonths, or during the war with
Mexico. The condition of the accept
ance in this case must be a tender of ser
vice during the war, aod it must be expli
citly understood that diey may be dis
charged without a claim of returning
home, wherever they may be serving at
the termination of the war, provided it is
in the then territory of the United States,
or may be taken to the nearest or most
convenient territory belonging tothe Uni
ted States, and jhereJiseharged.
The men must be apprised that their
term of service is for the war; that they
are to be discharged as above specified,
and lhat they aje to be employed on a
distant service. It is, however very
desirable that it suolld not be pub
licly KNOWN OR PROCLAIMED THAT THEY
ARE TO CO TO ANY PARTICULAR PLACE.
On this point great caution is enjoined.
The communication to the officers and
men must go so far as to remove all ju.st
grounds of complaint that they have been
deceived in the nature and the place of the
service.
It is expected that the regiment will be
in readiness to embark as early as the first
of August next, if practicable steps will
be immediately taken to provide for trans
portation. Very respectfully, vour ob'tscrr t.

The friends of Proteoion in his district
owe it to themselves to give him a vigor
