For the Benefit of Frotectiotfists
The Opposition succeeded in carrying a
number of members of Congrear ut this
State upon the protective milli issue, repro
venting to the people ;that they could and
would arrange the tariff so as to aid the in
terests of Pennsylvania. They now have a
large majority in Congress, and these pro
fessions will soon be brought to the proof
We shall see whether a protective tanll will
be *posed and dirtied - 46r wtrether ail the
promises made last fall, and the fall previ•
ous, were made with the full knowledge that
they could not be realized. The Republican
party alone have Shout a hundred meinb, rs
in Congress, and of course will exert a con
toll influence over this su'aject. Judge
LW., ale member from this District is cx
peeled by hie friends to redeem the many
promises made on this subject. We coin
mend the follow ing extract from a receid nn
tide in the New York Evening Post a I, ad
lug Republican authority, to those who rely
upon the Republicans for a modifies:l in of
the present tariff
"The generation which is rising up in this
cultry is fur the most part imbued with
frtt trade ideas, and we fully believe that in
twenty years the number of those who hold
•n this protective system will not be much
arger than Abe number of t twat, who main•
un that this sin goes round the earth.
...4cant)me, if the subject is introduced
into Colleen, it must he discussed on its
intrinsic bsents, without any aid from party
Intfuen&'s JAM. 113 we should wish it to be
discussed and declined. The Democratic
party is already too much divided in regard
to other questions to allow a new cause of
division to arlie by 'attempting to engraft
the protective system on its creed If, on
the other hand, an attempt should be made
to interpolate it among the doetnnes of the
Republican party, it would break that party
in a thousand fragments. Whararr,allempfs

Practical Secession
A numbee.of the students in the
Medical Colleges of Philadelphia 'held •
meeting last Tuesday week, in the Assem
bly Building, and resolved to secede in a
body and go to Richmond, Va., College.—
'Over two hundred agreed to do this, and
left on the following Wednesday night, pro
vision having been mule for their passage
free by railroad. They will be charged no
fees by the faculty at Richmond College, ex
cept fur graduation. They had a handsome
reception at Ricliinotitl on Thursday. A
PrOcessign was formed to escort them into
the city, and Governor Wise made them an
address of c o ngratulation. But this is not
the worst feature the ease has ai.suined. It

On the 17th of September., 1796, sixty .
three years ago, GICORGS WASHINGTON pub-,
Imbed to the people of the United States his
Farewell Address. That, memorable docu
ment is ante& the richest legacies bequeath
ed by that great patriot to his countryman.
It Wastho diing,counsel of the most illus.
tiodli man that ever lived, published to con
temporaneous and succeeding generations.—
In the circumstances which elicited that ad
dress—tbe exalt, d character of its author—
and the patriotic and piofound 'lessons of
wisdom it inculcates—the anchor and the
decUment remind us of Moses delivering his
farewell address to the iiildren of Israel.—
We wish that every one, in this solemn and
inu tient crisis of our country's history,
.would talte_the trouble 0f..-perauing this hal
lowed and consecrated state paper, since
'many of its passages are so strictly
applica
ble to existing eircumstadaes, that they
seem almost to have eManated from a proph
et raised up 'by Heaven to point out the
shoals and,qiiiekiiiinds tlmt now threaten to
destroy the ship of state.
The one idea which sesnib to hats ab
sorbed the luminous mind and palpitating
heart of Washington, when he pinned his
Farewell Addreds, was to impress upon his
countrymen, then and theneeforwafll, the
imperative necessity of . riii,:smieisu iS Vio

In proof of the clearness and the graphic

cannot refrain from saying a word in com
mendation of the officers under whose con

Snorr, the General Superintendent was first
taken ,upon the Road
,as a COnductor, in
winch position he performed his duties so
faithfully, acquitted himself so well, and
manifested so inueh-capacity for managing
the business of the Riad, that he has been
spce.lily promoted, without other influence
than his own merit. from one position to
another, until ho has reached the high and
responsible office he now occupies. Ile is
in the proper acceptation of the term • " A
sat.? tore vAN." And we feel mare in say
ing, that no Road in'the United State has an
officer who guards better its interests, or at
kends more promptly and faithfully to its
duties this qualification for the position is
clearly indicated by Its seloctim of subordi
nate ofldiers, having in every position care
ful, prudent, honest wren, in whose hands the
affirm of the Company are well protected.
The Col. fregoently travels over the Road,
and an unacquainted observer may always
detect him by his vigilance, in going froin
car to car, watching at every station, and
paving close attention to the condition of the
Road. It is an admitted fact that, the cont.
forts and conveniences furnished on this Road
cannot be excelled, an,! it is always a plea
sure to travel over it.
