FURTHER FROM SAVTA FE. We lenrn from Oliver P. Haney, editor . of the Narita Fe Republican, who with Mr. Brown and tire men, and one wagon, arrived here yesterday, and' passel on to St. Louis, that they left Santa Fe on the 10th February, experiencing much fatigue and great suffering on the route. They got along very well until they reached the Lower Cimarone Springs, notwithstanding some unpleasant, .wet Weather.— They camped at the Springs, and nest morning about daylight were attacked by the Indians, who succeeded in running off all their animals but two. The attack was made under cover of a very dense fog, and' so sudden was it that the -Indians escaped with the animals without the firing of a shot. After n fruitless search, the next day they catched all their plunder, left their wagon, and, with 15 days' provi sions, their clothing and bedding, packed the two mules, and resumed the journey on foot, having be fore them a plain of 60 miles to traverse ere they wnuld - find wood or water they made the -crossing in three • ays and four ni ghts, amid continued rain and sic stopping long enough to eat. When they attempte leep, notwithstanding they all piled together, so intense was the cold they found -it anpossible, and were forced ,to keep continually exercising to prevent freezing. When the party reached Mann's Fort, both ani mals and men were well nigh exhausted, and with out,food! The Fort was vacant, but after much ben' ch they found plenty of salt pork which had been , cat lied by its former occupants, which was a very sea onable discovery. After recruiting for 'several days, the little party again took up the brie of march, but were stepped at Walnut Creek by high water; while encamped N on the bank, Messrs. Newman, -Hall. Rees and others, express from Independence, .muds their appearance on the opposite bank. The +water soon subsided and both parties crossed. Mr. Hovey obtained a fresh animal and some provision, from Mr. Newman, and in p days reached the Little A kansas, 100 miles froM Council Grove. The m n were entirely worn out, and their progress was sl my. Messrs; Hovey and `Moods determined upon taking the animal , , and a Mexican boy who . was a ong, leaving their provisions for there're, and push ' g on to Council Grove, which place they reached In two dayarna% jug had nothing to eat since they left their cainp on the Arkansas. Here they got fr'esh supplies, awl reached Independence last Sun day, 25th,- having been on the road 43 days, and walked over 350 miles of the Toute. - Air. Hovey furta-thed us the following particulars ' in reference to Col . Fremont's tiip and misfortunes, which he assures us may be relied on: "Upon leav ing Bent's Fort, Cul.

We ask the farmers to look at the facts. • - On the Ist of Pebuary, 1849, the corn laws which htld plundered the toiling 'millions of Great Britain 'for more than a century, were literally repealed.— The trade in breattstnill , , by the operation of 'the English act of 1845, is virtually free—the fixed tax •ofotte ahifling,ger quarter, or two and a half cents per buefiet, being merely nominal. The state of things npw existing, is that-the duty on cotton is, abolished, reduced upon rice, and wholly abolished CM corn, and all kindsof grain. The' duty on provi sions is also greatly modified. We have noticed )I.r. Labouchere's recent proposal to amend the 13ritish Navigation laws so us to open still wider the door for the introduction of our bread-stuffs, and to aid the commercial marine of a nation whose ships are new'in.every sea under Heaven, and whose sailors and ship-builders are without superiors in the world! And yet, in order to: protect a few wealthy manufacturers in our country, who have made large fortunes by unequal laws, and by grind. ing the faces of the laboring 'poor, the leaders of the whig party now in General Taylor's cabinet, would shirt est from the apiculturists the prospect that is before them, and deprive the people of an opportts• Wily, to realize a commercial superiority never equalled in the history of man!—Pius.

E R I E.. SATURDAY MO RNI7:IG,,APRIL 21.1849. THE TARIFF- WHIG CON HISTENtY. One of the most curious charectotjetica of ,The whig party is that it cannot bo consisten t in its advocacy of any one measure. In illintration of this position, lot ue take the Tariff question. Oneivould suppose that upon this, if upon no other, they would held a steady Wind, and advocate now the same doctrine and the eame. Measures they professed to sustain previous to, the election. , Bnt such is not the fact: It is it matter of history that the Whig party in this slate and in fact in every state.. professed last fall before The election, to he I"Micirrible to the nuccindi tional re-enactment of the odious tariff 01'42. Illut how has their 'conduct/squared with this profession? f Let hie tory. and tho proceedings of Congress answer!! On, the 23th of ebruary last, Mr. Hudson, from'tho committee onWe l ys and Means, made a report on the :subject of the tariff, in which ho utterly rapedialet the idea of !IC- I enacting the bill of. - '42. Art extract: of this report we i give below, and although it strikes a death blow at the very roots ofevety thing the whig Party, has :professed' heretofore, we have soon but little comment, oh the 'part of our whig coterupararies, in regard 'to it, :and that certainly' not in condemnation. Why iii this of The majority of the House of Representative's of t to United ' States in the late Congrela were whige, end, the tom-' minim thoroughly so! Why then has not their report' been referred to us the donine of thc; party' by the whig press? The reason is obvious. It was throttin out as a feeler—as a kind of decoy—with the undoubted intention of paving the way to a total abaudotunent of their previ ous position. It cannot have boon forgotten by the peo ple that previous to the last election the manufacturing districts in Pennsylvania were constantly harrangued by whig orators on the subject of thp neieehievoue and wicked repeal of . the:Tariff of '42. and the most explicit assurances were given that the same tariff should be re-enacted, ait:l the odious bill of '46 repealed.. In our tows - end county this was every where preached by whig orators. These harrangues and. these promises had. a ;mat effect, according to' whig testimony, in the iron and mining, districts of the elate. In Schuylkill it changed the vote of that county from 800 Democratic majority to 1210 whig. ,The promise was unequivocal that the bill of '42 should be restored. The, trick with sitecesful—the fraud wag consumated—the people were' deceived—and now look at the result! A tohig commit tee, in a whig Congress, publish a report, without offer ing a hill. in which they declare that "that they do not ask Kat tie Tariff of ',42 shoal I be retired!" Never wore there such Palpable frauds committed on the public to gain en ascendancy ris there were last fall to secure the election of Gen. Taylor. The President was to be ' u "no-party" President, and yet the sword of proderip don has at no previous period been worked so industri +ly as within the month since the Admin tration came into power. The 'Tariff of '42 was G be 4-instituted,. yet it is now declared en "obsolete Mee" by a rohig committee: The following is-att extract front 610 report referred to: ~ The interest of the country requires stability in prices and in our revenue lams. The inanufacturetes, 'solar as wo know, do not ask a itigh rate of duty. Whet they desire and what their interest, dememl, is that the rere nuc system be adopted which will glee what revenue is necessary to the -gaecrnmettt; and in apportioning the rate, that refdrence should be had to the wants of a'l the greatAittilostrial interesti of the country. They know very well that'll order to be permanent, the duthisahould be reasonably.low. .While they ask that Oa tariff of` 1816 shoal., lie tood(fieo', they do not ask that thelariff of 1842 should be retired. They admit that in many res pects the tariff 1842 apparently imposed higher rates of duty than the present state of the country requires. This' we believe is'the sentintent of the ittelligent, manufac-' turers of the country. And in this (moral opinion we fully concur. - The 'duties in the turf 'of 1816 are nearly i high enough as a whole; but octne:l important inedif catione seem to ho required by the country. In the first place there should he a reduction of the rimy on the raw materials used in manufactures, when these : mate rials do trot - Couto• in conflict with any interest -in this country.'
