Lambert, John Boucher, John llanna,
Samuel Ximmcl and George Wellcr,
were then appointed a committee to pre
pare resolutions, who, aficr sonic time,
reported the folic win?, which were adopt
ed without a dissenting voice. During
the absence of the Committee, the Hon.
Andrew Stewart, addressed the meet
ing in his usual happy style but did not
conclude his remarks until after the com
mittee had reported.
Resolved. That the mcaures introduced
jn'.o Congress fc carried out by the admin
istratioiiof James K. Polk, are subversive
tf good" government, at war with the
best interests of our country, and will in
cwtably destroy the industrial energies of
the nation. The acquisition of Texas
Jias plunged us into a war, brought on by
the soIeact of the Executive without
consulting Congress, for the benefit of the
-southern sIuac holders, that tv ill create an
enormous national debt, rnd be product
ive of no earthly benefit to the nation at
large, enabling the administration to give
fat contracts to its pampered favorites at
the expense of the peoples treasure and
riling the preponderance in the councils
of the nation to the slave holding interest.
The repeal of 'the Tariff act of August
J 5-f 2 is an act striking at the very vitality
T the '-country. It destroys our home
Ti;:vc?s for agricultural products, reduces
the price of labor.makcs us dependent up
pon foreign manufacturers for our fabrics,
shut? our work shops, opens cur Ameri
can markets for the produce of the Eu
ropean farmers, & exhausts the sptcie cur
rency cf the coumiy to pay for our im-
Resolved, That the passage cf tr.e
f-ub-trcasury bill, a measure thrice reject
ed by the people of the United States,
exhibits a palpable disregard of the popu
lar will that should consign its supporters
to political infamy. It is the introduction
of that obnoxous distinction which gives
gold to the office holder, and a depreciated
paper currency to the people. It will re
quire a large portion cf the specie of the
country to carry on the operations of the
government, the balance will be taken out
jf the country to pay for our increased
imports under the British Tariff act, and
then the people will have nothing but
depreciated paper to answer their business
transactions. And at the same moment
of passing this sublreasury act comnel
lirg the people to pay specie to the Gov
rtiitiiU they passed another act author
izing the Government to issue and put in
circulation (en millions of rug money
and paper currency, called treasury notes
with which the country is being inunda
led. Rksolveti, That wc heartily approve
r.f the patriotic course of the wings in
Congress in condemning the acts of the
administration relative to the Mexican
v.ar, "this miserable war" Calhoun
calls it, in defiance of that dastardly
spirit, v Inch charges, enemies of their
country, all who repudiatinjr and rejecting
the anti-democratic and odious doctrine
of monarchies, "that the Kinr can do no
wrong" have dared to denounce the un
constitutional acts of the Federal Ex
ecutive. KEsoLVEPriiat it is to the unconstitutional
ennexation of Texas which was to be ef
fected without blood, which was to "ex
tend the area af freedom," and ''furnish a
market for our furphis manufactures"
that we are indebted for the blood and
treasure now being spilt and expended in
a Foreign war, for the extension cf the
curse of slavery over a large and free
territory, and for the passage of a British
Tariff bill which will ruin the nianufactu-
..irji, c.i...i.u. vv.iuinu iuicii:i ;
of the country. j
Kesolv-, I hit the exdtatnons of the I
Bnah to be founu m the columns of
many of their p-.pers lav.hing praise up-
ing friendship between England and the
United Slates secure" and declaring that
the report of the passage of this "Anglo
Tariff ' bill is the best piece of news
which one of our vessels ever carried to
this country," clearly indicates which
party in this this country, ought to be
called "the i-ritlsh party."'
Resolved, That therefore the Loco
foco parly is a British party, their poltcy
is a British policy, and calculated to ben
efit British labor and British capital, in
stead of our own.
Resoled. That this is shown by the
fact, that a British, agent of Briush mar.u-frtClurers-,
wi:!i rprcimeus cf Brhirh

by the fact that the same men who thm?
permitted foreigners to exhibit their lor
eiyn goods under the roof of the Capitol,
who visited and encouraged this exhibi
tion t?f foreign goods, refused to visit the
great American lair for the exhibition ol
American manufacturers in a budding,
erected at their own expense, and the
official paper of this administration sneer
ed at it as a 'tnrnascrit & a bvi:n telle
and now openly declare that if "Home
leagues" are adopted as was proposed by
our "representative Mr. Stewart to prefer
American to foreign manufactures they
would form muter league to prefer for
eign manufactures?, 4to toicii nothing
AMERICAN'
Resolved, That it is still farther proved
by the repeal of ihe tariff of 18-12, and
tlx passage of the late bill, which leaves
a higher duty on the raw material than it
does on the manufactured goods, thus
directly discriminating against American
and in favor of foreign labor.
HEsoi.vED.That the true character of '-he
present aduiinietration is exhibited in the
circumstance lhatwhile it prosecutes an of
fensive war against a week & feeble nation
for a terilory to which our title is at least
daubiful, it'yiehls to England an equal
extent of territory to which it had declar
ed our title "clear and unqueslioable;"
Resolved, That the following declara
tion of the Montreal Couricr.thaf'as Eng
lishmen we, of cmtrse,are pleased that the
Tariir is abolished, as taken in conjunc
tion with our abolition of the corn laws,
it will open an immense market for us
but if we were Americans, we should
certainly be Tariff men," ought to bring
the blush of shame upon the cheek of
every man. who aided to abolish the
whig Tarifl of 1812.
Resolved, Thai the following extracts
from Southern Locofoco papers are gross
ly insulting to the great mass of our op.
ponents in this State, w ho, whatever may
hae been the extent of fraud practised
upon them by their leaders, are neverthe
less honest in their supporj of the pro
tective policy and we now call upon them
to rebuke this insolence of the South un
voting hereafter for true Tariff men of
the North. Read the extracts, fellow
democrats of the rank and lile, and judge
for yourselves. From the Augusta
(Georgia) Chronicle and Sentinel:
'The waitings of the Pennsylvania De
mocracy in reference to the passage . of
the Tariff, and that too by the" cast
ing vote of Mr. Dallas, (indirectly)
are loud and deep. They proclaim that
they are a iet ims of abase political in
trigue, and vent their wrath in no uiiqual-
if icd
terms.
But v hat
does all this
nrove; .Nomina more or less than
?
:!'?t the Pennsylvania Democracy, are
distinguished above ail others in knavery
?nd stupidity. The intelligent portion of
the party have not been duped or deceiv
ed they knew that they were engaged
in endeavoring to perpetrate a most gross
fraud upon the people, when they were
persuading them that ?Ir. Polk was a
belter Tariff man than Mr. Clay. But
the baseness of the act did not stay their
effort? thev were struirjrling for the
speds, & with- them the means were justi
fied by the object gained. How w as it with
the people, those who were imposed up
on? do they not stultify themselves bv
the admission that they were deceiv
ed.' Most assur.-diy. They were ad
dressed i-i primary assembles by men of
every vocation they were appealed to
by the press, and the principles of Mr.
Polk through his whole political life
were portrayed in bold characters all, all
in vain. They preferred to become the
willing instruments of political knaves,
and in their distress, they complain of
having been deceived and betrayed! well
be it so, it serves them rijjit they de
serve all they have received in die pas
sage of the Tarifl bill" (of 1840.) "And
in our opinion deserve not the sympathies
of any portion of the American people,,
From the "Hickory Herald" published
in Polk's neighborhood in Ten;;
"Now in the face of Mr. Polk's speeches
votes and acts against the Proactive Sys
tem throughout a long and brilliant ca
reer, in the teeth of Ids letter to Kane,
advocating the Revenue principle, of his
Inaugural, and finally his Message to
Congress, the man or set of
men,
the
rotate or part ol a State, who could still
be so ignorant of his views as to think him
a friend of a Protective, and not a Reve
nue Tariff, are so grossly stupid so
destitute of common sense, so perfectly
full of all the qualities of the ASS, th;t
they are incapable of self government."
Remember, fellow citizens of Pennsyl
vania of every party, the above is the lan
snatrcofthf? Polk Vrm TraiL nnrhr r
me aoum the kind of insult they use
toward the Tariff party of this State. "
Halved, That if "the leaders of the
Polk pat ty in this State deserve the above
denunciation and abuse at the hand f
intprpsts nf
Pennsylvania, who in the lanffuaire of
senator Cameron, has proved recreant to
Ii is trust and dishonored the State that
gave him birth.
Resolved, That as we are disposed to
give credit to whom credit is due, we take
pleasure in recording the fact that the
entire delegation from Pennsylvania ex
cept the traitor AVilmot, voted" to sustain
the Tariff of 1 842, and that Senator Cam- i
cron is especially deserving of praise for i
the manly stand he took and maintained !
in the Senate and we4' here extend the '
hand of fellowship to "all who will join !
us in the rallying cry, raised by that Sen
a tor, and our indomitable Stewart of
"Repeal," "Repeal," "Repeal," of the
British Tariff of 18 1C.
Resolved. That there is one briirht ex-!
cept.on to the dark arrrv of Southern
Free trader?, to be feund in the' person of!
Scnator Haywood, of North Carolina,
who preferred to resign rather than vole
for this British Bill, which he character
ized as an "experimental tariff" "a new,
unwise and sectional Tariff" (forthe ben
efit of the South only)- a bill "to revo
lutionize at once, and without time for
deliberation, or opportunity to amend the

Resolved, That the Whig members of
Congress last session covered themselves
and the party with" glory in coming up in
solid phalanx to sustain the American
Tariff of 1812, with but a single excep
tion in each house an honest free trader,
of Alabama and a Senator from Tennes
see, under instructions from a Locofoco
Legislature.
Resolved, That the too successful op
position made by almost the entire Polk
party to the patriotic proposition and ef
forts of our able representative, Mr. Stew
art, to raise the wages of the Private sol
diers in the army from S7 to $10 per
month, and to reduce the pay of Members
rtf Congress, exnoses the barefaced as-
I sumption of that parly, that they are the
! especial friends of the volunteers and the
j People.
Resolved, That the corruptions w hich
j have long existed in the board of Ctnal
C ommissioners call loudly for a change
in that board, and appeal strongly to the
people to elect the nominee of the Whig
party.
Resolved, That jn Cen. James M."
Power, the candidate of the Whigs for
Canal Commissioner, we have a man em
inently qualified lor the station, by his
long experience on the public works, and
by the sterling integrity of his character,
and should receive the support of every
man in Pennsylvania who is in favor of
reform and economy in the management
of our public improvements, and who is
opposed to the corruptions and extrava
gancies of the present board.
Resolved, That we earnestly and rc
spectfully urge upon every friend of good
government every friend of American
Industry every lariner wlio desires a
market at home for the produce of his
farm every one opposed to the British
tariff act nosscd at the last session of
Congress, and every one in favor of the
American larili of 18-12, to turn out at
the coming election and to make an ener
getic effort to retrieve the country from
the disasters which have been brought
upon it by the administration of James
K. Polk. We call upon the yeomanry
of the indomitable Star of the West, to
come up to the rescue once more and
serve the country by again returning that
well-tried champion of protection to A-
mencan industry the Hon. Andrew
Stewart. triumphantly to Congress,and
thus express our approbation of his
course during the past, and sustain and
strength.cn him at the approaching ses
sion in his ellorts to repeal the odious and
destructive British Taritl Bill of 184G.
The following were then ofiered by A.
J. Ogle, Esq., when Mr. Stewart resumed
his remarks, and after he had concluded
the preamble and resolutions were adopt
ed unanimously.
"Whereas, It is the policy and declared
purpose of Lho late tariff law to destroy
the productions of American industry, to
make way for those of foreign countries,
And whereas, The Secretary of the
Treasury has in his official report to Con
gress repeatedly denounced "the substi
tution of American rival fabricks for for
eign goods" as ruinous to the revenue,
declaring that we must take more British
manufactures, otherwise England would
not have "specie to spare" lor Southern
Co' ton.
And whereas, Great Britain while she
takes 40 millions of dollars worth of
southern cotton annually, takes less than
one quarter of a millions worth of all
flour, grain and breadstuffs produced in
the United States.
And whereas, It is the declared pur
poseof the late tariff to increase there
venue by reducing the duties on Iron,
coal and many other articles more than
one half,
And as the purpose of thus increasing
the revenue by reducing the duties one
half, can be accomplished only by more,
than doubling our imports, and of course
destroying to that extent our present
American supply, And, as a necessary
consequence ruining our home markets
for agriculture, destroying the employ
ments of labor in every department of
the national industry, and robbing our
country of the last dollar of specie to pay
for what we can and ought to supply at
home. Regarding, as we do, this whole
system of reducing duties to increase re
venue, the substitution of ad valorem for
specific duties, and the erection of ware
houses for the accommodation of foreign
importers as a settled and combined sys
tem of British and Southern policy in
troduced and adopted for the purpose of
bringing the free labor o' the Northern
and Western States under a worse than
Colonial bondage to the British and ihe
slave holders of the South.
Therefore, As the oulv
means left to
defend ourselves against this destructive
system, to save our country from impen
ding ruin, to support our "own manufac
tures, mechanics, farmers and working
men, to keep our money in circulation
at home instead of sending it abroad to
support and enrich foreign labor instead
of our own,
Be it resolved, That we will on all
occasions give a decided preference to the
productions of our own country, and ab
stain from the use of foreign and especi
ally British goods, wherever the article,
or a substitute for it cart be furnished Ol
home, and we pledge ourselves to adhere
to thi3 resolution, till the British act of
the last session is repeated and the pro
tective fysiem ia restored.
The following was then ofiered and
adopted also unanimously.
Resolved, That we have undiminished
confidence in the talents and integrity oft
"our own Andy" our present able repre
sentative in Congress, and that we will
esteem it a duty as well as a privilege to
prove our gratitude for his unwearied el-
forts to save us from the ruinous effects
of the British Tariff, by re-electing him
with a largely increased majority.
At the close of the meeting the Presi
dent made some pertinent and impressive
remarks, after which it wa3
Resolved, That the proceedings be
published in the "Somerset Herald,"
aud that other Whig papers be requested
to copy.
The meeting then adjourned.

FRIGATE POTOMAC ASHORE.
New York, Aug. 20, 181G.
The ship Adelaide, Adams, sailed from
Havanna on the 9th July and arrived here
this day. A special messenger from Ve
ra Cruz came passenger in the steam
packet to Havanna, with letters to Santa
Anna, informing him that the citizens and
military of Vera Cruz had declared for
him. Santa Anna, Almoimte and Bejon,
immediately took passage in the British
steamer Arab, aud proceeded privately to
Vera Cruz.
On the 8th of July, in the night, Com
modore Conner's ship, the Potomac, got
aground at Green Isle. By heaving the
guns overboard, she got off and proceeded
to Pensocola to be repaired.
There was no sickness in the American
fleet.
The Truxton and Perry were off Ha
vanna, but had no communication with
the shore; as the yellow fever was prevail
ing on the island.
CANAL COMMISSIONER.
In the bustle of the coming local elec
tions, says the North American, we trust
that the great State issue upon which
Pennsylvanians are called upon to decide,
will not be lorgolten. State organization
is essential to a just and effective action
by the people on the great issues before
them. The Canal Board is now more
powerful in its control of the destinies of
the State than the Executive; and the
struggle is tor the State. The voice
of Pennsylvania finds, on that issue, its
first utterance on the Tariff question.
Mr. Foster is the candidate renominated
against the will ol his own party by the
corrupt exercise of the patronage of the
Canal Board; he iuns as the opponent in
rotation of office and the foe of the Ta
riff. The State may be carried by a ma
jority of 10,000 against him; but to effect
so glorious a result one so pregnant with
future triumph organization, action and
energy are necessary.
THE KENTUCKY TRIUMPH-
The Lexington Observer states that the
full returns of the recent election for
members of the Legislature have been re
ceived at the office of the Secretary of
State, and that parties in the next Legisla
ture are divided as follows: In the Senate
the Whigs have 20 members and the Lo
cos 12; in the House of Representatives,
the Whigs have 64 and the Locos 3G
members giving the Whigs a majority
on joint ballot of forty-two! Last year
the W'higs had a majority of thirty-two
on joint ballot.

THE DEAD ALIVE.
At Shreveport, in this State, says the
Bayou Sara (La.) Leger, an old negro
man, belonging to Mr. Bowman, of this
place, supposed to be dead, was conveyed
to the graveyard, but made a noise in the
coffin as they were putting him in the
grave. The coffin was opened and he
was found to be living, and conveyed
home.
MURDERS.
The editor of the New Orleans Pica
yune has seen a letter from a reaponsible
source, dated Fort Washti, July 28th sta
ting that a party of thirty persons left
Fort Smith Ark., three weeks previous,
for California. From reports which had
come in from the prairies, no doubt was
entertained that the whole company had
been murdered by the Camanches.
