Such shall be our course with reference to one of the most prominent of tlie'clectioiieering fopics scized libTd of by' our federal opponents, and in which the pol icy of the state administration has been most flagrantly, and, as we believe DESIGNED LY misrepresented. We refer to Governor Porter’s exercise of . ' - ' - THE PARDONING POWER. , Every administration, which the people of this''commonwealth have ever clothed with the robes of authority,-has had frequent oc casion to call this power in exercise. It is one, which the frpiners of our Constitution iucorporated into that instrument as among the most essential of Executive prerogatives, and is b.ased upon that mild and- Christian spirit,, which so .happily, distinguishes the. potic governments; As the genius of bur law has never yet delighted in contemplat ing the agony of the condemned, ; and pun ishes, not for the mere sake of punishing, but ,for the more benign purpose of prevent ing crime by the. forces of example, cases have frequently'occurred, when Executive clemency,was demanded by 'every'humane consideration, and when, to have, withheld, would hayejjeen evidence, of cu|d-he.artcd, cruelty,- ’rSubhcases have presented them-, selves, in abundance,under all previous ail ministrations—they , have occurred under this— and will in all probability, continue to pccur to the end of time. Tlie Democratic Central CoWntittee'have, therefore, .deemed it the mostfeasible mode of arriving at the true adjustment of the whether under the administration of David R. Porter tins prerogative has been' "abused,'” to institute a comparison with the course of previous administrations in the same particular, • At the expense of consid erable labor, they have done so, arid arc gratified to present a Contrast so eminently favorable to Governor Porter.

They were held under excessive bail to appear iti the county where THADDEUS STEVENSj their prosecutor, resides—where a large majority of the peo-. pie are his political friends—and where in a purely political trial, commenced from po litical motives,, carried on for political ends, and doubtless to,be tried by a political jury —it-would-havc.prcscntcd-a-solemn_mocker ry to contend against him. .The trial had been twice POSTPONED, and the defend ants again re-bound in heavy recognizances —postponed bn account of the GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY on the part of Ste vens’ anti-masonic county officersand com missioners,do leaving the. jury-wheels open to-the-tamperjngJiand_ofJhe.’dggigning; and it-wns thus manifest, that private OPPRES SION was the only end and a ' m le P ro " secution.

On one side of a big pond lived John Bull, and on the other Brother Jonathan. John Bull's farm was poor and unproduc tive; but his children were famous weavers of cotton and woollen goods, and very skil ful, ip the working of iron, brass, and all sorts of metals. " Brother Jonathan had a great deal of fresh, rich ground, and cobld raise cotton, grain, and all sorts of produce, as well as cattle and sheep, much cheaper than John Bull could. They carried their products and manufac tures to and fro in boats and exchanged the one for the other. But there w.as a serious impediment to their trade, which rendered it much less ex tensive and useful than it otherwise would have been. , . The difficulty was this: • , ■ " At'tlie landing on the aide of the pond where John Bull lived, an old fellow called George King had built .a toll-house, and compelled every body who brought any thing ; tO sell’to John Bull’s family, to give a part ofit. Or payhim.a portion of its value.. In like manner, whoever carried any thing a way, after buying or exchanging for it, had to give him a part of it, or pay him a portion ofits value. The one he called an import duty and.the other an export duty. , (in the other.side of the pond was Uncle Sam, withhis toll-house. - He was kind e nough not to take any part of Brother Jona than’s products as they went outs but not a thing would he permit to come in, unless at least one fifth part Of it, or the value thereof, was given to him. This he called an import duty. Jn this way George King took to himself at least one-fifth, or twenty per cent; of all that came in ; and all that went out, and Co de Sam torfk-one-fifth or twenty per cent, of all that came.in. . The thing worked iri this way: Wlien Brother. Jonathan went over iii his boat with one, hundred bushels'of wheat, to exchange with John Bull fur cloth, George King compelled him, as soon ns he landed, to measure.out twenty bushels and put it in to'.his warehouse, (or else-pay him the pricc of twenty bushels;) which left him eighty bushels to buy cloth with. With this cigh ty. bushels he; bought, eighty, yards of cloth; but George King wduld not let him put it into his boat until he.had measured off and given him’‘sixteen -yards, being one fifth pf the whole, (or paid him the price ofif.) At length Jonathan got’■back to his own side of the pond with 64 yards of cloth; but Uncle Sam ;wou_id not let him land it until he had measured bflf andJgiyeu him.twelve arid fqur-fifths yards of itj. being pne-fifth of the sixty-four, (or paid him its value.) Thus, Brother Jonathan, after he liad finished his voyage, found himself in possession of fifty one and one-fifth yards of, cloth in return for his hundred bushels of wheat. ; Now. ’it is evident enough, that but for the tolls hO had to pay to George King and Un cle’ Sam, he would have, got horiie%ifli one hundred jards.of cloth for bis'hundred-bush els of wheat, : instead of flfty.-pne arid one fifth.) , Jiist so it was on the other side: . ' ■) John Bull started with a hundred yards of cloth*; to exchango for wheat with Brother Jonathan;' ( ' "-j'-v Respectfully, From Kendall's Expositor, ttCi [AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM Me.w Series—Vol. 6, Mo. 7. i George King ~ioitipcl led him', before lie [started to measure ofi_,pnd give.him twenty |.yards of his cloth, leaving.but eighty. ; As soon ds he fcached the,other side of the pond; Uncle Sam compelled him to mea sure off and give him one-fifth of twenty per cent, of the balance, leaving only.sixty-four yards. . ._ , ' ~ This sixty-four yards he exchanged for sixty-four bushels of wheat, and returned home. . ; But-George King would not let him iSnd until he mcasurcrToutund gave him one-fifth (or 20 per cent.) of the wheat, leaving only fifty-one and onefifth bushels, when he might have had one hundred, but for the exactions of George King and Unclc-Sam. ■ Thus did George King and Uncle Sam treat John Bull and Brother Jonathan and. their families. With this toll ami other in cidental charges, they took to themselves 'just about one half the products and manu- Jaetures. .th.e_old_.farmqrs.s.ent_ouLto.sell.—. Sometimes George King, in his caprices, wouM not let Brother Jonathan land any grain at, all for sale and exchange with John. Bull and his family, pretending that he knew better what was good for them than they did themselves;.the consequence of which was, that John Bull had to pay much more for his bread than he otherwise would. At the same time, hot being able to sell Brother Jonathan ns much cloth as he, would have done if he could have taken grain in pay-, ment, he had much less means to buy with, and in this way his children were often re duced to a most wretched and starving con dition. ' , . ,On the other hand, Brother Jonathan, in. all his dealings with John Bull, got but half' U 1 • tfatTq r. the...tolls .e x fctc.it; M cSffseq uenole. qT wHfch wove riot so'well- clad a* they otherwise would have been. Indeed, he waicompell cd to make cloth himself to help clothe his children, though the same labor would have brought him twice as.mhch cloth, if he Could . have gotten it.without these heavy tolls. Application. —This allegory explains the operation.'of Tariffs, whether for revenue or ’ ■protection."' 4 Tlifey are a lax on the income ,0/ the farmer and manufacturer, equal in their operation, upon the United States and -Great Britain to ONE- HALF the value of, all the articles the people of the two countries j buy of each-other. - It is just as if a tax gatherer stood at the farmer’s gate and took* from him ONE-FOURTH of all he carries out to. sell, and ONE-THIRD Of all lie brings back. ’ Tariff's arc the most adroit schemes ever contrived to take from farmers, planters, and all the working'classes* the-fruits of their labor without their knowing it, and using them fur the support of armies and na-' vies, pensioners and sinecurists, bankers and fundholders—in fine, to make the Many work for the Few. THICKER THAN THREE IN A BED A Vermonter.“came down” during the winter with a couple of frozen hugs in his pung or lumber box, and drove up to a ho tel at the North End. The house was as full as it coUld bo, and the bar-keeper one of the driest Wags that ever cracked a juke. . ‘Can I have my horse put up and lodgin for myself in this.ere tavernf’ said the Ver monter, kicking the snow from his shoes, and addressing the bar-keeper. ‘‘ ‘You'dan have both, sir,’ rejoined the bar-keeper. • , ‘Well, I wish you’d flax round and get supper as fast as you can, cause I’m all-ti red hungry and tired to.

About four feet would do- for you, I. should think,’ drawing the tape a ruund the waist of the astonished traveller. The supper was soon smoking on the., ta ble; the Vermonter made ,a hearty meal, & shortly after came to the bar-keeper & said he was refidy to go to bed. ‘Y.ou have np. objections to sleeping more than one in a bed, have you,’ said the wag. ‘Not the least iurlhly.objection in the world,’ retorted the Vermonter. ‘Well, there’s no necessity for my show ing you the way up,’ continued the barkee per, taking his lodger to the . foot of the' stairs and handing him 'the.’ canillcsl ck.- 'You wd|go up four pair of stairs,-\y»en you >ill.cU.me to a ladder, go up that .and you -Will'see a rope hanging down' through the scuttle.
