Xf"The communication of our cor respondent "Loom & An vil" shall appear next week. C""On first page we give some ex tracts from Mr. Stewart's speech on the Tariff, delivered in the House cf Repre sentatives, on 27th of May last. "Concerning that Act of Assembly, the editors of the Visitor are "non-comc-stibus, up a gum-tree" so, we suppose, we must let them slip this time. Hon. Andrew Steivarf. The nomination of Mr. Stewart tor re election is haileJ with delight by the friends of American interests, throughout the State and the Union. We hardly open a Wh:gpaper,but what contains evidence of! this fact and we think it highly probable that this feeling is not confined to the Whig party, but is participated in by a consider able portion of the so-called "Democra cy." Mr. Stewart is admitted to be o nc of the most industrious and useful Members of the House. Ever at his poit, and ever attentive to his duties; unwavering in his purposes, and convin cing in his arguments; he has acquired an influence and enjoys a reputation in the councils of the nation such as few others can boast of. His speeches during the late session are generally admitted by un prejudiced men to have been among the best that were delivered in the House for a long time and it is no little compli ment to htm that one gentleman alone had twenty thousand copies of them printed for gratuitous circulation. Of such a Rep resentative any constituency may well be proud. Examine the documents. In looking over the published proceed ings, of the Electoral College of Pennsyl vania, which assembled at llarrisburg on the 4th day of December, 1844, and cast its vote for Polk and Dallas, we find that ff'ihon Mc Candles presided over that body, and that in the course of an Ad dress delivered by him to the college at the close of the proceeding, he held the following language: "In the name and by the authority of the People of Pennsylvania, you have deposited your ballots in favor of tried and distinguished Statesmen, for the highest offices known to the Constitu tion. "That this administration of the Gen- oral Government will redound to the honor, prosperity and glory ol the coun- lrv, we have a guarantee in their talents, patriotism, and eminent public services; and that the Aukicilture and Maxu- FACTi res of Pkxxsylxaxia, in which she is so vitally interested, will be protected, we have the assurance in the recently expressed opinion of the c leetcu Head of the Nation, "that it is the duty of the Government, to extend, J so far as it may be practicable to do so, 4 by its revenue laws, and all other means within its power, fair and just frotec 4 tiox to all the great interests of the 'whole Union, embracing AciRicrLTCRE, Maxcfactcres, the Mechanic arts, 4 commerce and Navigation." Reposing 'with confidence in this political senti 4 ment, emanating from such a source, our good old Commonwealth, burdened as 4 she is with pecuniary embarrassment, will go on her way rejoicing, for in her 4 valleys and upon her plains, in her hills 4 and "her mountains, she possesses the means to satisfy all her liabilities." For appropriate comments upon the foregoing we rcter the reader to Mr. Polk's Messages to Congress, to Secreta-: rv Walker's Treasury Reports, and to Mr. Dallas' recent vote in favor of the British Tariff Bill. Anything more at this time would be superfluous. COUNTING WITHOUT THE HOST. There are a great many persons who have been zealous adrocatcs of die exten sion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to Pittsburgh, because it would increase the value of their lands on and near the line of the road, by bringing into use the coal and limestone, the iron ore and tim ber with which those lands abound. Their expectation in this particular would no doubt have been realized, had the tar iff of 1912 continued in operation; but by reducing the duty on iron, Mr. Polk and his friends have struck a deadly blow al the iron interest of Pennsylvania, and the coal and limestone, and iron ore and timber along the contemplated Railroad will continue to be as valueless to the owners as they have been heretofore. This is one of the advantages the people I the election of James K. Polk and some Qr icm tciy Jc serve it. jjOVr iin the People of Somer set County lc A fleeted Ilirccdy by the I?riu2i Tariff. All know that since the Tariff of 1812 was in full operation, the people of this .,... n.raVs fnnndVfindv sale and rcceiv- , , . r --v"". ed good prices for their commodities. ISor , t4 . r iraea luaiivLi iu um tanners us ncu us employment to laborers in that section, wlrilc the Mount Savage Iron Works on its Southern border did the same for the people in the other sections. Flour, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes, sugar, beef, pork, poultry, butter and eggs, and lum ber of every description, have been in steady demand and commanded high pri ces, and mechanics and laborers could at all times get employment and fair wages. These are ficts which we think none will have the hardihood to deny, nor will any candid man presume to impute this favor able state of things to anything else than the influence of the protective system. The inquiry then is, how will all those interests be affected directly by the des truction of the Tariff of 1842 and the adoption of the British System? We an swer, that when our manufacturers shall have been compelled by foreign competi tion to cither grcatlv curtail their business or abandon it altogether when the thou sands of hands now employed by them shall have been,in part or in whole, thrown idle when the farmer shall no longer be able to sell, or if sell he can at all, when he must give his produce at fifty or a hun dred per cent less than he got before w hen almost every workingman that had ! been a consumer shall have been driven away and become a producer in short, when the Home Market shall have been almost entirely destroyed then will the people of this county see, and feel, and un derstand how the new system works. But this is not all. Some of the landhol ders in our county have manifested a great interest in the speedy completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. And why? Because they have the ore, the coal, the timber, the water power, everything es sential to the erection and carrying on of almost any number of iron works, and have only been deterred from embarking in the business ere now by the want of a cheap and certain means of transportation to bring their manufac tures to market. The erection of some dozen or more such works in our county would certainly greatly enhance the value of lands, create a new home market for the produce of the farmer, and furnish addi tional employment to the mechanic and laboring man and if the Tariff of 1842 had been left undisturbed, there can be no doubt but in the course of a few years a number of new works would have been erected. Within that period the connex ion between Baltimore and Pittsburgh will be completed by means of the Pittsburgh and Connellsvillc Railroad, which we un derstand is to be put under contract the ensuing fall or winter; but what benefit will it be to the people of Somcrsl county since the Tariffof 1842 has been destroy ed and Iron is to be admitted at rates of duty so low that it will be impossible for the American manufacturer of this article to compete with the importer of the for eign article? WT ill any body be fool e nongh to invest any considerable amount of money in the erection of Iron Works now? We leave it to the reader to answer these questions for himself. JCT Congress adjourned on the 10th, at 12 o'clock, M. A bill appropriating two millions to enable the President to conclude a peace with Mexico had passed the House on Saturday, with a proviso against the introduction of slavery into any State formed out of Mexican territo ry; but while the bill was under discus- sioninthe Senate on Monday the hour (oT final aujonrnment arrivcd, and it was therefore suffered to remain on the tabic. We have continued warm weather with occasional showers. seae MUST BE REPEALED! ; The British Tariff Act must be repeal ed,' though Polk's official," the Union, says it can't be done. That paper counts upon a majority of 10 tor the Adminis tration in the United States as soon as Iowa and Wisconsin shall have been ad mitted as States and shall have elected their Senators. But the Union counts a htih too fast, perhaps. If the people will be careful this fall and elect Tariff men, both to the United States House of Representatives and to their State Legis latures, the late bill mill be repealed for we shall then be able to carry the re peal in the House without difficulty, and instruct a sufficient number of Senators to carry it in the Senate also. The friends of repeal have therefore every encourage ment to "go ahead;" and we hope and trust they will do so. gTThe silliest thing that we have seen for a long time is a letter in the Ge nius of Liberty, purporting to have been written at Washington and charging Mr. Stewart with having caused the passage of McKay's British Tariff Bill! The ed itor of that paper ought to know that the people of the "18th district" can't be made to swallow such stuff, though it be shu srert over ever so nicely. CSPA friend of ours wishes to procure one of the banners carried in some of the Locofoco processions in 1844, with the inscription "PoA-, Dallas, and the Tariff of 1812" on them; and requests us to say that any person furnishing one shall be liberally compensated. gCFThc Philadelphia Inquirer says there is but a single public journal in that city that attempts to defend the British Tariff bill. FTltm THE A It 31 Y. The following items of intelligence are taken from the New Orleans Pica yune of August 1. The brig Etnprcssario arrived at the Barracks this morning, seven days from Brasos Santiago. When she left most of the regular troops had gone to Camargo. The Texan troops were about taking up their march for Micr. Governor Henderson was lying dan gerously ill atMatamoras at the latest dates: very little hope, if any, was entertained of his recovery. Brig. Gen. Hamer was to be left in command at Matanioras, where a regiment of voluntcces was to be stationed and the forts garrisoned by artillery. More extensive hospitals had been or dered at Point Isabel for the accommoda tion of a large number of sick. KENTUCKY ELECTION. The Louisville Journal announces the result of the election in that city for mem bers of Legislature, Messrs. Page (Whig) had 1800; Craig, do, 1615; Haggin, (Lo co) 1355; Irwin, do, 1C45. Mr. Irwin is the first Loco elected to the Legislature from the City for many years. Personal dislike to Crag was the cause. The Journal gives partial returns from several other counties, but as the candi dates are seldom distinguished we can make but little out of them. Reed (W.) is elected o the Legislature from Frank lin; Mcllenry (W.) do from Shelby. We hope to get more definite informa tion to-night. INDIANA ELECTION.

Mr. Pratt, Sir: I wish you to send me 3 bottles of J ay tie's Expectorant, and iu connection, 1 would say, that 1 deem it an invaluable medicine, and an article that no family should bevithoul it for a single day. 1 have used it for two years in jny family, and have always found it a quick and efficient remedy for tight ness of the lungs, produced by long pro tracted colds, which produce the short hacking congh, the prcmonitor of Con sumption, in which it so frequently ter minates in this climate. If properly and seasonably administered, it will effecual ly break up the most violent colds, and thereby prevent the many violent fevers so frequently consequent upon them. I would most cheerfully recommend ibis medicine to the public in all cases of that ualure, as invaluable. , JOHN II. WEBSTER. CHOLICS AND FRETTING OF INFANTS.
