IMPORTANT NEWS FROM SIR JOHN
. FRANKLIN.. -
Frontal! "Vie London ) Chromatic.
Chapel, of the bark 111eLellan, of this port,
from tlavis'e Straits, whose •arrival we announced
yesterday morning, furnishes information which will
be read with interest in the U. States, and indeed in
every part of the world. About the Ist of August,
while the McLellan lay in Pond's Bay, - an indentation
of Balfin's Bay in lat. 74, lon. 72, the natives of the
coast came on braid the Chieftain, an English whale
man, and gave information by signs, that to large
ships were then lying in Prince Regent's inlet, and
had been there fast in the ice for four seasons; and
being asked with rtgard to those on board, whether
they •w _re dead or alive, they replied in the same way
that the crews were not "asleep," (that is, not dead,)
but were all well. It t% us considered by the English
man and Capt. Chapel, that the Ships of Sir John
Franklin woe clearly meant.
The Englishman landed at Cape Hay, some dis
tance from Pond's thy, a quantity of coal and pro•
visions with which his ship was furnished by t h e
British “overiones , t, fur the use of the long missing
,ships, if they bliutild , chatice to come there, as they
would be obliged to do on their return to England.
This is certainly the latest news fr.mt that quarter,
and there is a pea,ibility, perhaps a probability; that
the cnntinander of 00 itot;lrlmmte expedition and
hie ete•vs are still 'alive. !leaven send that it may
be so!
••The McLellan and her gallant officers and crew
have reached home almost by miracle—at any rate
hate done so under circumstances that entitle them
to the highest credit.
On the 13th of June the barque got •'nipped" in
the ice, and only escaped destrumom by the almost
superhuman exertions mid good conduct of those
who were in charge of her. She was so severely
injured that she leaked so as to be kept afloat only
by the incessant work of nearly al hands at the
pumps, and by means of two large metalic pumps
obtained by Capt. C. from the wreck of two Eng
lish ships crushed and totally lost just ahead of
him. The leak was, however, partially remedied
by thrummed sails under the bow, though she con
tinued to leak badly until her arrival home, and was
only kept above water by continual and unceasing
labor at the pumps, till she reached the dock, which,
itideed, is still obliged to be continued, as she lies
at the wharf. The two English ships Superior and
Lady Jane, mentioned yesterday, were both lost very
near the McLellan. Two of the crew of the lost
ships arrived in her. They are natives of the Shet
land Islands.
On the 301 h of August, the McLellan lost a man
named Joseph Schneider, of New York, who fell
from the mizzen top-mast-head, and lived but 20
minutes; being shtickingly mangled in the head and
limbs. He was 21 sears of age.
It is due to Cap(. Chapel, his gallant officers and
ship's company, again to say, that their conduct in
bringing home their vessel is deserving - of more
than common praise, and even with their exertions
it could not have been done, but for the staunch end
enduring qualities of the ship. The skill and per
severance of the officers and men were objects of
admiration to the Englishmen who saw them.
PRACTICE VS. PROFESSION
From all parts of our country the cry is heard is
suing from the mouth of the rich, "encourage borne
industry" or "support 'American manufacturers."—
We say we hear these cries coming mainly from the
aristocratic portion of our countrymen, who tell us
they have the interest of the laboring classes at
heart. They want to see the poor of America
proSper in preference to the poor of every other
cpitintry under the sum, solely because they love
their country and their countrymen. These protec
tionists have no. self le i ve—not they. They care
nothing about swelling their already bloated cof
fers. They do not wish to realize twenty, thirty,
or forty per cent. on their heavy capi tats, wrung
from the heart's' blood of the masses. No, not a
a Wept it. Theso men are prompted to advocate a
high,protective tariff, by the purest principles of
patriotism! So they tell us. Now let us see wheth
er their 'profession occurs with their practice. Go
with us to yonder mansion—call up the servants
and osk who occupies it? You are told that it is
the borne of the millionaire manufacturer. Take a
stroll through thii- splendid building and examine
the window glass, you will find it is of French mono
tacture—American is unit good enough. Look at
,
the beautiful carpets, table covers, window curtains,
and ornaments th decorate te ,ha, parlors Pand
chambers, and 'yo at u
will fiud t h hat the ll y come from
abroad—are of foreign manufacture. T nis is the
home of the tariff man. The clothes he puts °ti—
the food he eats—the coach he rides in—come from
1 other countries; even the airs he puts on smell of
the aristocracy of Europe.
This is no fancy sketch—it is a true p 7 ctnre of
the men who sing out so lustily for a tariff. While
they profess one thing they practice another, They
call up on the masses of this Union to sustsin.their
corrupt doctrine, telling them that it is to their in
terest to do so. They use every argument that
their sophistical m:nl3 can invent, in attempting to
arouse the prejudices of the people in favor of a
high tariff. They employ orators and writers to
advocate the passage of a law ;that will roll silver
and gold into their cutters, and thus he entibled .to
live like the privileged classc.4 of monarchial Eu
rope.
We call upon our fellow-workrnon to bo watchful!
Beware of the oppressor! Adhere to the holy prin
ciples o f Democracy, which are eLlculated to cause

sunshine of Heaven, to be shed alike upon the high

ASMICAN POST 01 Tun Datum Luse.—We learn
from the Minesuta Pioneer, of the 27th'ult., that
Col. Woods, who has just returned from his expe
dition to the British line, established a military post
at Pembina, and at one other locality east of that
point. Col. Woods left Fort Snelling early in June,
havin g in his company Capt. Pope, U. S. Engineer,
under directions to r mort the most feasible road to
Pembina, which is situated on the line, and to des
cribe the general, cite rector of the country. The
journey was very toilsome, fur most Of the way thro'
mud, and over sts mons, many of which they crossed
by [beans of postoos wagons, arriving at their des
tination on the Ist August. The post at Pembina
was merely designated by marks. When Col.
Woods arrived, the Spring floods had not then sub
sided, and the inhabitants had fled to the Highlands
to escape from the inundation of the Plains of Red
river. Lster in the season, the country is dry, fer
tile au] beau iful. The moral character of the
people, who are worthy half-breeds, is, spoken of
with respect. They devote more of their time to
agriculture than the chase. Good garden vegeta
bles were procured at Pembina, and choice beef was
worth five cents. Grass and the sinalt grains flour
ish well. Indiataturn was an uncertain crop. On
account of the early mows, a body of nutritious
grass is preserved, apon which the horses and cat
tle subsist well all winter. About 2.50 miles from
St, Paid, some small herds of buffalo were seen.—
About a dozen of voyageurs came in from Pembi
na, with the expedition, and had a ""long talk" with
Gov. Ramsey. They c omplained of aggression on
their rights by persons on the British side of the
line—stated that certain obnoxious men had been
appointed chiefs over them—that they were restrict
ed in 'their hunting privileges—and demanded pro
tection as Americans. Governor Ramsey assured
them of the ability of the United States Govern
ment to protect all her citizens, and that he would
represent their case at Washington. With this
assurance they were satisfied. Lieut. Paige, who
had been doing duty as quartermaster and Com
missary, at Fort Snelling, left on the 37th to join
Ilk regiment in California. Gov. Chambers arri
ved at St. Paul on the 97th, to join in the totnmis
sien with Gov. Ramsey, to negotiate a treaty with
the Sioux Indians. Two bands of the Indians wore
at Fort Snelling on the 991, to receive their annui•
ties. The other bands were to be paid at a later
dry—scone this mouth.

THE CANADIAN DECLARATION OF SEN.
TIMENT.
. _
' The "Declaration" of -t_h e people of Canada has
come to hand. It is a do cument of great political
interest and importance, being_eigned by hundreds
of the meat influential merchanta in Montreal,land
holde:s,prefessiunal men and others, in about 335
names, about 50 of whom are said to be liberalsand
the remainder toner. This• document is addressed
to the people of Canada, and sets before them brief
ly, but cogently, the. prominent reasons fur a separ
ation from he mother country and a union with the
United States,.
The "Declaration" first alludes to the magnitude
itf the evils which now afflict• Canada; to the uni
versal and increasing depression of its material in
terests; to the manifest policy of Great Britain,
gradually to abandon her colonies to their own re
sources; to the cumbersome and expensive charac
ter of the Canadian government, and its imperfect
adoption to the.country, being dependent on a dis
tant and ill•informed government for its potter to
act; to the bitter animosities which have so long
marred the peace, embarreessed the government and
impaired the 'prosperity of the country; and to the
conviction, at present so prevalent an all British
North America, that a political revolution in that
country is impending. 'Having alluded to these
things as among the prominent causes of uneasi
ness and depression and suffering in Canada, the de
clorption goes on to discuss-briefly the various rem
edies proposed for the existing evils, Arch as the re
turn of the English government to the principle of
protection in the home mothets, the protection of
Canadian manufactures, reciprocal free trade with
the United States, as it respects the products of the
country; these projects are briefly considered, and
the impracticability or insufficiency of them is coo.
elusively shown.
The declaration then proceeds to say—
"Of all the remedies that haVe been suggiisted
for tho acknowledged and insufferable ills with
which our country is afflicted, there remains but one
to be comddered. It propounds a bweeping and int
' portant change in our political and social condition,
int (tiring, considerations which demand our most
eriuus examination. This final remedy consists
in a 'friendly and peaceful separation from British
connection and a union upon egnitable terms with
the Great North American confederacy of sovereign
states.'
This separation. it j.slnsisted, should be peaceably
made, if made at all, and if so mode, it is believed
that not Canada alone; would be benefited, but Lug
land would be relieved a heavy burden, and the UM
tell States would also reap important beLelits, from
the connection.
These several and reciprocal benefits are thus
set forth in the conclusion of the declaration:—
"The proposed union would render Catiada a field
for American capital, into %%loch it would enter as
freely, fur the prosecution of public works and pri
vate enterpris-, us into any of tire present states.—
It would equalize the value of real estate upon both
sides of the.boundary, thereby probably doubling at
once the entire present value of property in Cana,
da,
whilst, by giving stability to our institutions,
and introducing prosperity, - it would raise our pub
lic corporate and private credit. It would increase
our commerce both with the United States and for
eign' countries, whilst it would not necessarily di
minish to any great extent our intercourse %% ith
Great BrOain, Into which our products would, for the
must part, enter on the same terms as at present. It
would render our rivers and canals the highway fur
the immigration to and experts front the west, to
the incalculable benefit of our country. It would
ais6 introduce manufactures - into Canada a's rapidly
as they have been introduced into the 'northern
states. • • • • 4L 4, Nor
wolild the United States merely furnish the, capital
for rour manufactures. They would also supply for
them the most extensive market in the world, with
out the intervention -of a•custrm house officer.—
Railways would forthwith be constructed by Amer
ican capital as feeders• for all the great lines now
approaching our frontiers; and railway enterprise in
general would doubtless be as active and prosperous
among tla as among our neighbors. The value of
our agribultural produce would be raised at once to
apar with that of the [kited states, whilst agri.
Cultural implements and many of the necessaries Of
life, such as tea, c Arco acid sugar, would be greatly
reiticed in price.
The value of our timber would also be greatly'en
hnneed by free necees to the American market,
where it bears a high price.'but is sobj:ct to an
onerous- duty. At the same time, there is every
reason to believe that our ship builders, as well as
at Quebec and on the Gland Lakes, would find an
unlimited market in all the ports of the American
continent. •
The simple and economical state government, in
which direct y to the people is a distill
guithitigleature, would be substituted for a system
at mice cumbrous and expensive. In peace or war
and the alarms of war With a neighbor, there would
be peace and amity between this country and the
United States. But other advantages than those
having a bearing on our material interests may be
foretold. It would change the ground of political
contests between races and parties, vilay and oblit
erate those irritations nod conflicts of rancor and
recrimination, which have hitherto disfigured our
social fabric.
Nor would the amicable separation of Canada
from England be fraught with advantages to us alone
Tho relief to the parent state from the large expen
diture now incurred in the military occupation of the
country—the removal of the many causes of col
lision with the United Sates, which result from the
continguity of mutual territories so extensive—the
benefit of the largei market which the increasing
prosperity of Ct. nada would create, and considerations
which, in the minds of many of herablest statesmen
render our incorporation with the United States a
desirable consumation.
To the United States also the annexation of Canada
presents many importhnt inducements. The with
drawel of su powerful tymtion from their borders, by
whom, in time of war, the immense and growing
'commerce of the lakes would be imparded—the
ability to dispMiSe with the costly but effectual
revenue establishment over a,frontier of many
dred Miles—the large accession to their income from
our customstho unrestricted use of the Saint w -
rence, the natural highway from the western states
to the ocean, are objects fur the attainment of which
the most substantial equivolents would undoubtly be
coh-ceded."

BRIE, PA.
SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1849.
NEXT SPEAKER-HON. JAMES THOMPSON.
TllO following article in relation to the next speaker of .
the House of Representatives, and suggesting the name
of HON. 4ABILS TIfOMPSON, of this district, for that station,
we copy from, the Buffalo Daily Courier. The Courier
does no Mos:Lilian justice to Judgo.T. when it says "he
is a gentleman of large experience in public affairs, and
in parliarnontary bodies, and of high talent." While in
our state legislature ho was one of its most distinguished
members, and occupied the speaker's chilr with an abil
ity and dignity which feW of his predecessors have equal
led. AS Judge, in after years, of our District Court he
was equally, distinguished, and when the Democracy of
this district, after the expiration of the term for which
that court was created, sent hint to Congress, he at once
took his place among the first, if not at the head, of the
Pennsylvania delegation. To show that his course in
that body has mot the approbation of his constituents, it
is only necessary to refer to the fact that he has' been,
elected for three successive terms, and the last by (be
largest Majority ever given in the district. We agree,
too, with the Courier that his selection for thut station
"would he a deserved compliment to the Democrats of
the KellatonoState." Our Democracy have just come
out of A contest, In which all the power and money of the
Federal and. state governments • were arrayed against
them, Witb their colors flying and their bugles sounding
a triumphant majority of full 15,000. They have gallantly
redeemed the Senate, and laid our accidental Federal
Executive powerless at their feet. The selection, then,
by the National Democracy of one of their most talented
tnembJrs to the important position of Speaker of the
National Legislature, would be received and fe'l, from
ono extremity of the State to the other, as a fitting and
grateful compliment for so important a victory Then,
the reasons, alluded to by the Courier, as likely to pre
vent the election of Mr. Coen, of Georgia, point with pe
culiar force to Judge 'l'. as the man, of all others, upon
whom the Democratic free-soders could unite with the
Notional Democracy. His election would be a just and
fitting compromise and concession on the part of boih for
the good of the whole. May wo not anticipate that such
will be the result? What say our brethren of rho Press
of Pennil Irani& and elswhero?
' THE NEXT SPEAKER.—The universal ddubt as to
which party will be ima majority in the next House of
Representatives, will make the meeting of Congress an
occasion of much more than ordinary interest. The
[(Mist we have seen relating to the matter, is the calcula
' Om of the Now York Herald, which gives the democrat
' ic party a majority of one in the House.
The important question is, who will be Speaker? It,
is very generally understood that the Whigs have but one
candidate for the place-11011. ROBERT C. WINTUROP of
Massachusetts, Speaker of the last House. ' But he will
probably bo dropped as soon as it is ascertained that he
cannot obtain the full free soil Whig vote, without which
no one of that party can be chosen. On the' democratic,
side, the most prominet candidate is Hon. 11owsm. COBB
of-Georgia, and an excellent Speaker ho would make—
but is it not possible that the Same causes Which operate
against Mr. WINTBROP will also operate against 4r.
Conn? ' Without any inforination on the subject, more
than any person may gather by looking ovei the political
field, we have formed an opinion that the democratic
meinbers,of the House may perhaps bo forced to take up
seem other candidate than the gentleman we have all Med
to, who is undoubtedly the first choice of our party. In
that event, WO know of no more suitable man, none more
acceptable to the country than HOll. JAMES Thomrsos of I
Pennsylvania. Ile is a gentleman of largo experience
in public affairs and in parliamentary bodies, and of high p i
talent. Ilk election would ben deserved compliment to
the democrats of thin Keystone State.

A WARNING IN TIME.—Wo have heard it hinted
that the reason certain men, heretofore of some prowl
nonce in tho Democratic ranks,.havo obtained scats in
the Legislature nt the colming session, is to defeat the
constitutional reform proposed by the act of last session.
Wo trust that these surmises are incorrect, but it is well
enough for the friends of such reform to sound the alarm =
to Elva all such men a icarning in time! Wo know that
there are those among the whigs who aim at suckdefeat.
The Senator from this county is ono of them. But that
any Democrat should seek a seat in our legislature for
such a purpose. is almost beyond belief. If there are
any , nch, however, they may as well have notice at
once that if they but lift a finger to stay the wheel Of con
stitutional reform, the Democracy, the people, will hang
them so high on a politicul l gallows that the day of judg
ment will never find them! This measure is imporitavo
ly demanded by the people, and what they demand they
will have! Let him who dare stay it beware!
TRIBUTE TO DEMOCRACI 4 O-.-Tho following- tribute
to tho Democracy, is from that original Taylor paper,
the New York Mirror, edited by an office-holder -under
the present dynasty. This is not a solitary instanco—ono
by ono, thewhig pnrty are clambering upon the Domo
erotic platform, and wo should not be surprised if their
tandem should eventually claim to have elected Jackson
and Polk, and added Texas. New Mexico and California
to the Union. .
It may be that tho constitutional treasury is not perfect.
Nothing planned by humanity can be; still, rather than
incur, the risk of changing that act, wo believe a large
majority of the people 01 this country would prefer it
should remain in force. What difference does it make
if it was passed by a Democratic Congress, and opposed
by the Whigs? Does that change the operation of the
system itself? If we aro to advocate or oppose at all
times, and under all circumstances, thesamo measures ;
we should preserve our consistency at the expense of our
judgments.
If it he considered rebellious to change our opinions
upon political questions, then aro those rebels who have
pronounced a limit( ot the United States. "an obsolete
idea," after having onto sustained that institution. It
was proclaimed by those who assumed io speak under
standingly. that the Independent Treasury would not do
in time of peace, and would prove totally inadequate in
time of tour. That system stood the test of both. Then
we are satisfied that a majority of the people of this coml.
try want no tampering with the constitutional treasury.

\ Mr. Thomas L. Clingman, formorly a member of Co '

auctioneer of New Yolk city, have resumed this old fah

letter, which is highly. commended in some of the jon

committed the federal government to the issue of pa
money. His scheme is the conversion of the feder
debt into an instrument of banking, like the debt of Ne
York State, by authorizing the holders of such stock t
doposito it with the federal treasurer, who should sig
and issue to the depositors an equal amount of treasur
notes,lo bo Issued by such depositors in loans, as. co

stud on failure of such redemption, the stock deposits
beitig sold by the treasurer, and the proceeds applied
such redemption. In short, the 'scheme authorizes an
holder of federal debt to found a private bank of iss.
upon it, like the private banks of New York. We rega
this scheme as very mischievous, and trust that it wi

‘Ve object to its fundamental principle, which is
blc interest. Tho holder of led.W i al stocks 'already dra •
interest upon them from the whole people. Throu :
this scheme, he would make t4so stocks the instrume
of'drawing thti same or more interest from a portion

who purchased of them. Interest its, and always has bee

then issue a million of bank notes• upon this very 'to&
in loans at seven percent., ho draws thirteen per cat
upon his nion4. Even at sixper cent., under which
capital in money doubles in less than twelve years, wh
neither land, houses, nor labor double in the same pert. !! .
property soon loaves the money to accumulate with
few. The statistics of our conntty shOw that the ri
grow richer and fewer, and the poor poorer and more
morons; and in all Europe all statistics show it a the!
sand fold more. All this is principally caused by inti
est on money; and if the process be so rapid, even in t
United States, under six per cent., how much more I
must it be under thirteen! We offer this position fort
reflection of political economists.
Wo see another objection in the inflation of the c.
rency. These semi federal banks. could not coot
State or private banks, and would not drive a single n.
of the latter out of circulation. Hence every woes
note issued by them would be ab addition to the Itivh.
Currency. The effect of this inflation upon all tiric!
and consequently upon Atneri4l manufactures and
ricultural produce, must be obvious to all who remain •
the banking excesses of formeryears. especially 1835]
and '7. The' inflation might be sufficient to fill ounce
try with foreign manufactures and agricultural produ.
prevent the exportation of our own, and drain the co
try of coin.. Such things hare been, and more than on
and while the national debt could-thus be an instrum
of banking. the utmost efforts would be made by I,
trading population for its increase, A public debt we
be un element in our political contests; and the debt par
I whenever successful, would drive tho government
reckless extravagance, for the purpose of augrnenting
debt. The merchants anix manufacturers Would e•
"increase the national debt, and wo shall get more It !
al discounts ;" and the farmers and mechanics in di
would say, "money is scarce, and an increase of the
tional debt tsould make it easier." The result is ea
foreseen in a public debt that would be "public ble:
ing" o ith a vengeance!
We object to this scheme for the danger of bank
ures. Of the first batch of private banks in New Ye
founded upon any State stocks, every one failed, to
loss of the poor almost exclusively. •Of those foun.
upon New York State stocks. several have failed, to
I great loss of the public, and the corresponding gain of
falters. Thus, if a- bank issuing a hundred thous
