We liaVo recently referred to tho prophecies of ruin made by the Whig party when the present Revenue Bill was passed by Cdhgrcss, ’ In the course of our femdrks wo referred to the increase of otir revenue Since that law Wont into operation, and .tho high prices Which our agricultural productions have since borne* Tho increase of tho revenue is not a matter., of speculation* It is a fact ascertained by tho al,returns front tho Treasury department, atid must bo admitted by all* Thus far tho Tariff has hail or beneficial effect: ' Thti Whig, prophets. liaVc been falsified, ond tho democratic propheis-sustained by tjio result*' It Is Confessed, too, that -tho-,Tariff of 1843 was laid With a View to afford protection todo. riicstle manufactures, and not with the object of rais ing the greatest amount.of revenue front imports.— Tills being tho Case, it must Ilavo excluded front our ports a'portion ( of thoKo 'articles which would have, tjoUtlffy, or it could not answer, ed thejrthpase intended by its framers. Tho Imports being thus roduccd, tho reduction of the duties and the revenue thorofromi boloyv the amoUnt: which might havo boon obtained by. different legislation, was a natural conscqucnco.> tho Deiriocratic party obtained tho. power, itvyas determined to adopt this different legislation, and the Tariff of 1846 lev led upon rcvcnuo principles, was the fruit of that de termination, producing as Its result a largo increase in the revenues of tho Government.. This result was . foreseen by the friends of that measure, for they rca- on that subject data, ana had befd&'their eyes’ thV praclicaTeffccrdf similar Icgis. Jation in England. Wo may then assume that as far as rcvo.nuo is concerned—the . great purpose for levying duties—tho beneficial effects experienced since the passage of the Tariff of 1846, did not de pend on temporary and accidental circumstances, but may bo regarded os founded on permanent prtn ciplcs, connected with tho laws of commercial inter course. Tho next point in which tho subject may bo view* cd, is tbio effect It. lias exerted on the interests ol* the country. Hero wo will call atlonlionito tho propho. cios of the Whigs, that the people may see Jiowcom plotcly they have been'falsified.' In 1644 tho'Hon. John M. Clayton siid at Lancaster: “Should the struggle, for. national independence, which is now raging throughout tho length and breadth of the land, bo decided against us by tho vole of Pennsylva nia, she will come out of that contest, with her gorge drisbanner trailing in the dust, herself bleeding at ofcrj poroi Tho shouts of parly-triumph will ho speedily succeeded by tho wail of her ruined plough men ahd hof-tcggaid mechanics. The fires of her forges and ills sound of iho axo and hammer in her workshops will die away, amidst.the acclamations of her fata! vidtoty} arid,' there may bo many among the thousands before mo; who with sorrow-stricken, if ridt with Urokcri hcarlsVrriay live to moum the loss of thiil wllhoril Which public libcfly Vodld tease to b’o a blessing.” ‘ t - j • • • This lamentable result was to 1 bo produced by,tho destruction of the Tariff of 1843, and the adoption of-Uio revenue ideas of the democratic party. Tho Philadelphia North American in July, 1848, pursued tho same course in the following strain addressed to the people of Pennsylvania : • v • ' “ Behold yorir handiwork I Yori afrcclod to favor ilio tariff—a policy ' ‘ Wlioro clihor you iriuSt live or bear no Ufu—* Yori whoso hills arid Valleys rung with, the songs of protected • labor; and, whoso, vast hppea of.oflluonce and prosperity kndw.no existence hut in the tariff— your hand it is that has stricken Jt down.

They repudiate tho. doctrine' that Mr. Clay,himself so confidentially sanctioned at one period of his.life., Ho declared in Congress that | ra porls were . measured by - her exports, and that Id & series of years the quantity exported iVord o Country must balance that Imported Into it* The Ipgipal deduction from these principles Was, that d lmposed the lightest, possible restric- tions on imports into our country, would on able foreign countries to buy from Us the largest amount of our agricultural productions. This de duction has been abundantly yorifiedby the history of English ddmmbtce—yca( by.the history of oliown trade. £hcsVMga deny this, but without reason.— They the prosperity bf tho country, Since., thajTdrlfi of. 1846 went Into operation) was producoiTby tho famine in Ireland* But the only effect 6f Bio scarcity in liluropo would bo to Increase the price! of 1 breadstuff's. This leaves tho prosperity in . othW. branches of industry except agriculture unaccounted for—and of course fails to account for tho Whole 'phenomena; There must bo some other cause at-Work; and Wo Can see done other except the Tariff 184 C.

He is honest* he Is capable , ho is faithful,, to tho Constitu tion. IJis political principles ho learned jnthcschool of Sftinbn Snyder, and, during a long life, he has never known what it was to surrender them under any leipptation, or in tho face of any peril. Devoted to the great doctrines of “equal justice and equal laws,” his heart and his mind, his spirit and hts un derstanding, arc alike enlisted in their support. His experience lias given him an enlarged and thorough acquaintance with public affairs,' and particularly with every thing that pertains to Pennsylvania.' Wo feel, perfectly justified in saying, (and wo do soy it most emphatically) that the Stale contains no man who understands alt her offairs, from the'most com pi'oheMvo rule of policy down to tho minutest matter of official detail, better than he does, .That'lie is honest* his wlndQvlifo sufficiently attests. Daring his pu%pc service, ho has had countless opportunities of beaming rich by corruption j but from every Ijlfidb fftf i 'dvif'f?vld, , *ho'fcome‘oul‘ as Iheyiwefo empty; • It is not otir business io draw a £on(rast beiiveth tho candidates for Governor- It Is not our duty, nor docs it accord with our inclination, to iriako any charges against tho personal character of Gen. Irvin. The warmest personal friend, or tho most bigoted > political adherent of tho Federal candidate, will not pretend to say that his life has been more upright' and disinterested, or freer from slain, than Governor Shank's. To'compare the talents .experience and capacity of the two men, would bo a comparison too absurd to be oven Joughabkj.We do no p t therefore, believe that tho people have,.any desfrq to,discard their present Chief Magistrate! and fleet in his stead, the person offered to them by the opposition. ■ 1 ■ But the object ofthis address is not to prove tho total : absence of all good treason for a change. Wo go j further. Wo lake higher and stronger ground. Wo { 'assert that the election at this time of Gen. Irvin,or i arty other man,-of. the party to which he belongs, j would be prognont with EXTREME DANGER to j tho interests of tho Slate. Wo solemnly declare it, as tho profound conviction bf otir minds, that three , years ofFedernl riile in Pennsylvania, would tarnish , the character of tho Commonwealth; hhnkritjpt her ] treasury, and lanisA all prdraJ hhbesty from the ad- ( ministration of her most Jmportant business.

The election oft ms son viros a cheat. The measures which followed* their success in 1840, wore insulting to the.common sense of the people, and drew quick and sure destruc tion on thoU> heads. -Tho Runet rtilb had now no defenders, that wo know of, oven among, those who would fain see that ridiculous performance, half comedy and half tragedy acted oVcr again. . • The Democracy ban point to n thousand triuttiphs over fraud and tyranny—to a Country which, under their influence, has risen to the highest prosperity— to measures originated by (hem, which promise to stand the test of all time.. But) where arc the mon, umenlb afFedferal wisdom? Their financial skill is seen inthe Chatter of the,UnitcdSUte& Bank. Their regard for morality is manifested ,in the Bankrupt Law. * Their gconomy is seen in the expenditure by Rilhcr, of the twelve millions of dollars in three years. The Gettysburg railroad “beginning !n the Woods and ending nd where;” will stand forcVcr a silent but ofoqUChi witness of their enlarged capacity for managing internal Improvements.. Their pain otismi lias been signalized by opposition lb lliclt coun try in'the wars with England and Mexico; while the' Buckshot war may bo'cited as convincing proof of their valor. Their political sagacity lias been mani fested in a string of predictions) as solemnly, ah noUnced ai tho prophecies of Father Miller, and as true as those of Joe Smith. In office they ncVbr car ried an important measure that experience proved to bo right; os a minority;.they never opposed any thing that liirhcd out to bo wrong; Their wholo ca reer.has consisted of one.blunder alter another. Tlicso arc ample reasons, in our opinion, for refu sing power to sucli persons. ; Why should wo (rust our dearest interests to men, so notoriously incapable of understanding the plainest political truths i~| What sound reason can bo given for reposing confi-l dcnco In a patty that wo have so often found destitute I of the nCfccssary qulificalions? Is Gen. Irvtn a Slrorigcr man than Govjßilncr? Have the leaders of lire parly who coOnscllod Rilner, and .who tcould counsel Irvin, grown wiser by experione?

But this is not ,a!l| non by,any means, the worst of It. ffhe doctrine of biasa legislation, so dear in (he hearts of the Federal parly, has.rallied around their standard groat hordes of speculators, who am ever ready to prostilulb the goVcfhmpnt to any Selfish or evil are always found hatinting the lobbies of the Legislature, as, repscntnlives of their own breeches pockets; men, in shbrlj of "seven principles, five loaves and two fishes.” Against these men the Democratic parly has been the State's only protection; But Federalism takes them to her. arms with o cordial hug. From tjial parly they arc sure to get whatever Ihej want. Tn them, principally, went the twelve mlllibti* expended by Rilnor's nd. ministration. For them, the Bank of the United States was chartered, ahd the people, robbed by It of fifty millions more. To relieve (hem from the pay ment of their honest debts, lift .whole parly has la bored to get largo bounties to manufacturers * in thb shape of burdensome and unnecessary duties. Perhaps wo shall bo answered that there .is no dangqr of these scenes being enacted over again.— But we reply that the speculators and their friends have now in contemplation a scheme of public plunder % compared idichich, all tfieirfonnet atrocities were atts of while-robed innocence. . 4 • The new Constitution requires notice to bo publish ed oflho intended application for a Bank charter.-- It also provides that every such charier shall contain a reservation of the right to repeal it* This blocks 1 their ,gamq on that side, ahd they haVo, thcfcforc, ■ abandoned their old plan of tabbing widows and or* | L phans, by m can< l bf banks; ■ ’ . . .
