We clip the following from its columns of yealerdaj: "The new tariff is giving an impalse to man ufactures that cannot be controverted- With two exceptions we believe that every factory iu Germantywn and Man* y<U)k is in full opera lion. We learn from a large iron establish ment whoso office is in this city, and. whose priucipal works are iu Delaware, that they are working night and day. On the Wissahiokon, Gorgaa' mill has arisen from its ashes, and is making cotton wadding with two sets of hands, working without cessation. Machinery for the manufacture of carpet yarns is now being put into Robison's Mill, at the mouth of the Wissahickoa. With the assurance of internal poace to the country, and a protective tariff— permitted to remain until its benefits cau be realized —every merchant and mauufaoturer will bcoomo a "Knight of the Golden Floocc." Death of Judge HeLean. Judge John McLean, L. L. P., died on Thursday morniug, at Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 76 years. He was born in Motrin coun ty, N. J., M*reh 11,1785. Four years after ward, his father, a poor man with a large fam ily, removed to the West, settling first at Mor gaustowo, Vs., afterward near Nicholasville, Ky., and finally in 1799 in what is DDW Warrto County, Ohio. Hero he cleared a farm, upon which he resided till his death 40 years later. His son, at the age of 18, desiring to study law wont to Cincinnati, where ho maintained himself bv writing in the os'-o of tae Clerk of the County, while te pursued his studies under the direction of Arthur St. Claw", an ouitueflt coun selor, ibe sou of the revolutionary general Of that r.aiue. In tho Spriug of 1807 Ltf tffas married to Miss Rrbccca Edwards, and in tho Autumn of the same year was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice at Leb.vnou, W*r reu Coun'y, Ohio. 1 October, 1812, he was elected lo represent in Congress his district, which theu included Cincinnati, receiving a large majority, as a Democrat in favor of the war with England, and a supporter of Presi dent Madison's administration, lo 1814, be was unanimously reeleotud, receiving the vote of every elector that went to the polls. In 1815, he declined to he a candiJato for the U. S. Senate, though his election was certain; and iu 1816, the Legislature of Ohio having unan ituously elected him a Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, he resigned bis aval in Con gress at the close of the session. He remain ed upon the Supreme Bench of Ohio till 1822, when he was appointed by President Monroe Comuiis-imcr of the General LoJ Office. In July, 1823, be wa appoiuied Postmaster Gen eial, the Poet Office Department being then iD a very disordered and inefficient condition.— Under hie administration this branch of the pubiio service was restored to order, &uJ man aged with a vigor, method, and eeooomy that •oon secured an almost unexampled degree of applause and public confidence. By a nearly unanimous vote of the Senate and House, tha Postmaster General's salary was raised from 84,600 to 83,000 a year. John Randolph, who voted against ibe increase, said he would ote for it if the salary oocld be reduced to its original amount whenever Judge McLean went out of office. In 1829, hiving ddchaed be War aud Navy Departments, which were offered him by President Jackson, Judge McLean resigned the office of Postmaster Gen eral, and accepted a seat upon the bench cf the Supreme Court of the United States, en tering upon bis duties us Associate Justice at the January Term of 1830. In this capacity bit charges to Grand Juries while on circuit are distinguished Car ability and eloquence.— One of the most noted of these was delivered in December, 1838, iu regard to aiding or fa voring unlawful military combinations by our citizens against any foreign Government or peo ple with whom we are at peace, with special re ference to the Canadian insurrection and its j American abettors. In the Dred Scott case j be dissented from ibe decision of the Court as I given by Chief Justice Taney, and expressed ! the opinion that Slavery has its origin merely I in power, aud is against right, and in this conn- j try is sustained only by local law. Judge ; McLean has long been identified with the party j opposed to the cxtcusion of Slavery, and his name was before the Free Soil Convention at Buffalo, in 1848, as a candid tie for nomination ae President. At the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia, in 1856, be re ceived 196 votes for the game office, to 359 for Col. Fremont At tLe Republican Convention at Chicago, iu 1860, be also received a uumber of vote*.

(TItTIN'S MESSAGE, Pennsylvania to be Prepared. EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, ) HARBISBCRQ, April 9, 1861. ) ' To the Senate and. House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Gentlemen:— As the period fixed for the ad ' journmcnt of the .Legislature is rapidly ap proaching, 1 feel eoostraiued by sense of ! duty to call your attention to the condition of the military organiiation of the State. It is i scarcely Decessnry to say more than that the militia 'system of the State, during a long pe : riod distinguished by the pursuits of peaoeful industry exclusively, has become wholly inef ficient, and the interference of the Legislature is required to remove its defeit , and to render 1 it useful aud available to the public servioe. Many of our volunteer companies do not possess the number of men required by our j military law, and steps should bo forthwith j taken to supply these deficiencies, There are ! numerous companies, too, that are without the necessary arms, and of the arms that arc dis. I tributed, but few are provided with the more J modern appliances to render them serricea j bie. I recommend, therefore, that the Legislature j make immediate provision for the removal of ! these capital defects; that arms be procured i and distributed to those of our citizens who ! may enter info the military service of the I State, and that steps be taken to change the j guns already distributed, hv the adoption of such well known and tried improvements as will render them effective in the event of their employment in aotuul service. In this connection, I recommend the estab i lisbrncnt of a Military Bureau at the Capitol, and that the militia laws of the Commonwealth be so modified and amended as to impart to the military organization of the State, the vitality and energy essential to its practical value aßd usefulness. Precautions suob as I have suggested are wise and proper at all times in a government like ours, liut especial and momentous con siderations, arising from the condition of public affairs outside the limits, yet of incalculable consequences to the people aud demanding the gravest attention of the Legislature of Penn sylvania, invest the subject to which your ac tion is mvited by this communication with ex traordinary interest and importance. We cannot be insensible to the fact that serious jealousies and divisions distract the public mind, and that in portions of this Union the peace of the country, if not the safety ol the government itself is endangered. Military organizations of a formidable character, j which seem r.ot to bo demanded by any existing public exigency, have been formed in certain of the States. On whatever pretexts these extraordi nary military preparations may have been made, no purpose, that may contemplate resistance to the enforcement of the laws wilt meet sympathy or encouragement from the pooplo of this Common wealth. Pennsylvania yields to no State in ber leapect 1 for and her willingness to protect, by all needful I guarantees, the constitutional rights and coustitu independence of her sister States, nor infi delity* to that constitutional union, whose unexam pled betiaduhave been showered alike upon her self and thetu. . , The most exalW 1 public policy and the clearest obligations ot true patriotism, therefore, admonish us, in the existing deplorAbiJ au< * dangerous crisis of affairs, that our militia systet? should receive from the Legtalatuie that prompt ai' :nllou which public exigencies, either of the State or ij® nation may appear to demand, and which may seeu? !Q our wisdom best adapted to preserve and secure to the people of Penusylvania and the Union, the blessing o! peace and the integrity aud stability of our unrivalled Constitutional government. The government of Mi is great State was estab lished by its illustrious founder "in deeds of peace." Our people have boeu trained and dis ciplined in those arts which lead to trie promotion of tlteir own moral and physical development and progress, and with the brightest regard for the rights of others, liavo always cultivated fraternal relations wi'h the people of all the States devoted to the Constitution and the Union, aud always recognizing the spirit of concossiou and compro mise that underlies the foundation of the Govern ment. Pennsylvania offers no counsel and takes no ac tion in the nature of a menace. Her desire is for peaca, and her object the preservation ol the per sonal and political rights of citizens, cf the true sovereignty of States, and the supremacy of law and order. Auimate l by these sentiments and indulging an earnest hope of the speedy restoration of those harmonious and friendly relations between the va rious members of this confederacy which have brought our beloved country to a condition of un equalled power and prosperity. I commit the grave subject of this eommunica tion to your deliberation. (S'gatd,) A. G. CURTIN. The Administration and the Germans The attempt has been made here and else where to wake German Republicans beleivo the Aimioistraiion (especially of the State Depart ment, Mr. Seward,) have been indisposed to favor Oarl Sohurs and other promiQeat and de serving Germans, simply because they an for eign—born citizens. The appointment of Mr Schurz to the Spanish mission, of Herr Kreise man of Chicago as Secretary of Legation to Prussia, and several more like Cases that might be named, constitute sufficient proof that Mr. Seward and the administration cherish no such feelings in regard to adopted citizens. If Mr. Sohurz did apply for the Sardiniau missiou and was refused, tho Administration were prompted thereto, 001 by tho fact that Mr. S. is an adopted citizen, but by tho con sideration that the appointment, if made, might be construed as an unkind act by Victor Kmanuul, since the relations of Sardinia and Pruss a—ihj oouotry from whi b Mr. 8. is a po litical exile—ate of a very delicate Character. The presence of such a representative from the United States might seriously complicate the affairs of Sardinia. Carl Schurz is confessedly an able man and true-hearted Republican, capable of filling any positiou to which he may aspire with cred it and honor—and we daunt not that/ie is ful ly satisfied with the explanation of the 4 Admia istration, aud with hie appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain it is understood that Mr. Seward and Mr. Schurz have for years beeu warm personal friends; as evidenced by the anxiety of ihe lat'er for the uomioatioD of the former for Proaideut; and that friendship, we doubt not, continues uuiutempted and of the most cordial character. We havo deemed this statement due both to the Administration aud the trusty band of Ger man Republicans in our City and County.- £ne Uazetti. BEDFORD INQUIRER. for the Inquirer. MR. EDITOR: —An article published in the Bedford Gazette of March 16tb, represents two characters, '-Horace and Friday" as being tbe authors of au article signed "Tyro," and pub lished in tbe„Bedford Inquirer, some time sioco. If I am right in guessing the persons he means to represent with his ficticious names, I would take tbe liberty of informing bis locofoco obi v. airy that tbe assertion is & false and lying fab rication. aud none but a man of limited share of honor will venture iuto tbe newspapers with ; such an unfounded falsehood. Mad 1 beeu tbe author of the Tyro produc tion, 1 would not be balf as inuoh ashamed of its authorship as to be tbe author of that mis erable farce io tbe Gazette, so far as grammar aud coutpositiou are concerned; aud if he eor reets bis own grammatical errors, he will have as much of a peculiar task to perform as to handle some of tbe Pattoosviile Republicans. The at tide is entirely to inferior to come from the pen of a would-be County Superintendent, or an aspirant for that office. And, at the same time, this modern aspirant tor that honorable position could uot at the late spring election be elected for the petty office of School Direc tor. Come, Gazette scribbler, you and your party are rotten to tbe very core, aud a few days aftir tho spring election, I inquired why yuu were uot elected School Director, and they told me it was beueath tbe dignity of South Woo<tberry to elect such a bot beaded, fanatical Breckin ridge Locofoco; and no doubt his several de feats here prompted him to pour out his aon tbema upon tboae who differ with him or the party he belongs to, upon tbe most important questions pertaining to our uatioual affairs. Tbe writer talks as though nobody could take oare of tbe interest of Middle Woodberry except the democrats, aud, for his special ben efit, 1 would say that we oau take oare of her interest aud also of the interest of your dem ocratic brethren, by keeping tbeui out of of fice. - To give the proper standing politically, of the sarcastic Gazette correspondent, it would be proper to state that be really i~ the ouly man, to my knowledge, in this country, that has the audacity to defend the late corrupt democratic administration with all its abundant corruptness, and is capable of awailowiog everything aud anything in tbe shape of Loco focoism. He was the ieadiog champion in this country in defending tbe Breckenridge disu nion democratic wing, tu the last Presidential struggle. To do justice to our Middle Wood berry democracy, we hare none in our midst that have become so corrupt as to swallow the whole administration of James Buehatuu with impunity. HORACE: Woouberry, Pa. A PATRIOTIC LETTER. —The following are tbe closing sentenoes of the patriotic appeal of SAM HOUSTON, Governor of Texas, to the peo ple of that State, upon his refusal to take tbe oath of allegiance to the Constitution prescribed by a self-constituted Convention of the so-cal led Confederate States:— Fellow-citizens in the uarne of your rights and liberties, which I boletva have been tram pled upon, 1 refuse to take this oatb. lu tbe name of the nationality of Texas, which has been betrayed by this convention, I refuse to take this oath. In tbe name of the Constitu tion of Texas, wbicb'bas been trampled upon, I refuse to take this oath. In tbe uauto ot my j own conscience and my manhood, which this Convention would degrade by dragging before it, to pander to the malice of uiy enemies, w hen i by tbe Constitution the privilege is accorded j to tne, which belongs to the humblest officer. I in jke my oatb of office before any coutpot ut authority, I refuse to take this oatb. I am ready .9 be ostracisJtl sooner than sub mit to u-urpation. Pffi.-e has no charms for me that it must be purobatsd at tha sacrifice of my conscience and tlta loss of my self re spe-t. 1 love Texas too well to bring civil sirife and blood shed opou her. To avert this calam ity, I shall make uu endeavor to maintain my authority as chief executive of the State, except by the peaceful exercise of my functions.— When I cau no longer do this 1 shall o iluily withdraw from the scene, leaving the Govern ment in the hands of tbuse who have usurped its authority; but still claiming that lam its chief executive. I expect the coustqaences of my refusal to take this oaib. My offioe will be declared va cated. If those who ostracise me will be but as true to the iuterests of Texas as 1 have en deavored to be, my prayers will att ud them. Fellow citizens, thick not that I oo uplaia at the lot wbi-b Provideuce has assigned me. It is perhaps but meet that my oareer should closo thus. 1 have seen ib*t patriots and ■titesmin of my youth gathered to their fathers, and the government which they bad reared rent in twain; utid none like them are left to unito it once again. 1 stand the last almost of a race, who iearuod from taoir lips the lessons of human frocdoiu. I aui stricken down now because I will uot yield those principles which I have fought for aud struggled to uiaintaio. Tb# severost pang is, that the blow comas iu the name of the State of Texas. 1 deny the the power of this Cwuveotion to speak for Tex an. 1 have received blows for bor sake, and am willing to do so again. 1 protest, iu tbe name of the people of Tex as, agasnst ail the acts aud doings of this con j vention, aud deolaro thorn uull and void. 1 solemnly protest ugaiast the acts of its mem bers who jre bound by no oath themselves, in declaring my office vacant, because I refuse to appear before it aod take tbe oath prescribed. It has accomplished its mission, and its chief object has bceu fulfilled. If to drive oie from office aud defeat the will of the people is an honor, it may wear it. To prevent my having au opportunity to seed a message to the Leg islature, which meets on Monday, March lbtb I aui required to appear at its bar to-day and tike tbe lost oath. Even Sbylock grantad the full three days ere he claimed his pouud of flesh. The convention prescribed that titue as the limit, but its president has been less graaious than Sbylock, and olsmors for the bond ere two days are gone. If lam thus deprived of tho pour privilege of putting upon record my sentiments, through a refusal on the part of the Legislature to reoeive tuy message, 1 will lay the same before tbe people, and appeal to them, as I declared I would do iu my inaugu ral.

THE $8,u00,000 LOAN. The Secretary of the Troasury decided this morning to accept only such proposals as reach - od 94 aud upward. This determination was takeu upon the ground that better terms could be obtained for the Government than had been offered below that mark, which could not bo disregarded in the faco of the discretion con ferred by law, enabling him to deciaro unac ceptable bids, and to substitute Treasury Notes. It is probable that the latter alternative will be adopted, as the immediate wants of the De partment bave teen supplied by the three mil lions or aooepted bids. No formal decision has, however, been announced, md the Secre tary holds it in reservo for future consideration, j The right to decline offers which are not sat isfactory, enables him to resist the combinations which have heretofore comparatively paralixed the Government, when the aid of capital was most required. The disappointed bidders, who proposed within a fraction of 94, dislike being excluded, but tbe public are satisfied that their interests have beeu better protected than ever before. Numbers of telegrams were received at the Department after the result was understood, offering to take the remaining $5,000,000 at 94, or a traction over it. These came mainly from parties who bad failed in their calcula tions. Tho Secretary decided they were all too late, aud could not be considered as a com pliance with his advertisement. Hereafter the bidding for Govornmeut loans will probably be concentrated within a closer margin. Tho whole arrangement of his business, the dispatch which attended it, aud the 'jciiitie* extended to everybody, have beeu unu-uaily commended, and exhibit tho infusion of that energy, directness and good faith into the De p&rsment which must inspire confidence at homo and abroad. Mr. Chase personally superin tended the matter, and efficiently aided by- Mr. Harington, his able Assistant-Secretary. Over 250 letters were written after the closing of the bids yesterday afternoon, and mailed this morniug before the departure of the first train, pouches having been expressly prepared ami kept open for the purpose. Every bidder w-s notified of the result in his individual case, and all tbe Sub-Treasurers aud other public officers received their instructions simultaue ously to return cr retain the deports which bad been made. This work required the pres ence of the Secretary, his assistant and tbe princi{al clerks throughout most of tbe night. But it was finished before the Department closed. Perhaps there is no other aucb instance of dispatch in our history. DIVIDE AND CONQUER. —A pro-slavory cor respondent of tbe Savannah (Goorgia) jVeu, writes front Lowell, Massachusetts, the follow ing suggestions for dividing the people of tha North:— "There are thousands of men in Maasaebu eetts who are determined to break the back or head ot the Abolition party. If we could ouly bave a 'nigger' in Boston, it would be of ma terial advantage to the pro-slavery party. Caouol some of your readers, who have a large supply, leave one turned loose, and let biiu smuggle bituself on board of some vessel bound for Boston, so that wo can briug Old Abe to the test, and see whether he wiii enforoo the Fugitive Slave Law against tbe Abolition mob? It would be a God-send to tbe true men here, for let the Administration take whioh horn of the dilemma it chooses, aud it will reoeive the execrations of a large portion of the Republi can party. If you wish to hear tbe Abolition iats howl worse than x whole forest full of hyenas, let us have a'nigger'—a real, genuine, lcng-beeled, flat-nosed, thick-lipped, woolly headed, African slave- Who wilt be gener ous?"
