Tbh "report is, beyond, question, ono' of the ablest documents that has been published in support of the principles of the tariff of 1846. It gives a brief history of all the tariff acts* from 1789, down to the . present period, and 'shows clearly the principles on ' which each was based, the objects sought to be at* tained, and their effects on the questions of revenue and protection. .

Tromlho Slarofthe frorth, TUB TARIFF REPORT. When wo noticed the nomination of Mr. Bonham in Cumberland cottrtly Tor tho Legislature, we were much pleased with (hat sign of the times, for Mr, Bonham's narpe was not a stranger to us. Scarcely had he-taken his seat in (he House, when he'was plaoed upon thedmportanl committee to report upon the subject of a tariff. In connection with General Brindle,'he a few days ago presented a report, which it is our pleasure this week to present to our readers, with (he hope that every ono of them will most care fully and studiously read It, It Is a rich mine of foots, figures and truthful reasoning on a most important and much miasundcr stood subject. It lays bare tho cunning tricks by. which the bounties to the privileged ordeal of this country have been raised from live to thirty percent. It gives the pregnant fact that in lira early history i of this government, the national debt was first seized , upon as a pretext for raising the tariff, and that even Alexander Hamilton apologised far raising the rate of duties from 5 to 74 , per cent. What would the spirits of the departed revoiutionory patriots of a five per cent, tariff say if they could hoar lira ravings of the insatiable add greedy monopolists of these days, who are not content with six times the rate which satisfied the pioneers of the American manufacturing interest? Tho cry about manufactures being in their infancy, was worn threadbare half a century ago, and has now become too stale, flat and uiipro-' ftloble to be of weight. But the report best speaks for itself. We rejoice' that tho good cause of the people has found true and* trusty champions like Messrs. Bonham and Brindled —moo who ore neither to be influenced by the olanKj or of selfishness, nor Intimidated by the threats of all, thb merchant princes in America., .Men like these, and only such, are fit to be (ho chosen guardians of (ho public good. Much it due to tf public servant who - stands faithful to his trust where.so many, foil in duty, and wo dcslroto record our humble (estu muny to the high merit of (wo most (ruo and uterit orious public servants, The Harrisburg -correspondent of*lho York Gax tllti speaks of the Report as follows) Mils a'truly able report. Messrs. Bonham nod i Brindlo fearlessly, took the ground on which the De- . moctalio parly has so Jrequohlly fought and triumphs ‘ ed, and on which another glorious victory awaitd them. Their report was lengthy* and entered fully Into the , merits of ibis great question.. It was not more theorizing, but practical and conclusive argu ment from first to last. Every position assumed.was sustained by important and highly valuable statisti cal proof, which at once overturned (he feeble ram parts, behind which (he whig portion of the commit tee had entrenched themselves. Their cry for pro. Uctlon had a significant meaning, which most of those who had an opportunity of hearing both Re ports road,.were inclined to believe was raised os i rhucli In their own behalf, as In (hat oftho Iron and Coal interests for which, they professed to contend. The whig report was completely overshadowed by the admirable and cogonl'rcasonlngof Mr; Bonham. After the reports had all been submitted, Mr. Cuniday, (democrat,) offered a resolution authorizing (ho printing or 15,000 of them in English and 7000 in German, for general distribution. This was bring ing the whigi to the test, and no little interest was manifested, to know how they would meet It. The vole was taken, and every whig in the Eloufce, with one or two exceptions, voted^ against It. .They had lost their confidence in the'triumphant efficacy of their High Tariff principles. They dared not vole to permit their full reasoning to go out to the people I of Pennsylvania sido by sldowmi (ho powerful doc ument of Mr. Bonham. The) fell they had the woral of the battle, and by their vote on this resolution •• acknowledged the corn.” ,r Mr. Bonham got tho floor on Wednesday, and kept It until Friday at noon, speaking a short time only tho two first days, and ah hour an Friday. If his report.was powerful and convincing, his speech was not less so. Me assailed the High Tariff men at every point, demolishing.a position here and an I argument there, until finally not a single position 1 worth assaulting was loft the whigs, and Dr. Brower, of’Bullcr, essayed a reply, which was really the most affecting thing over listened to in tho Mouse. It was evidently the wail of a man In deep agony. His re marks at length became so moving , that most of the spectators moved towards the door, and tho Doctor, supposing his object, accomplished, sat down. He was followed by Mr. Laughlln, who spoke only a few minutes, when the hour of adjournment arrived. . • I Wit AT U DEMOCRACY tit The House of Congress took np the beet perl of Thursday discussing, “ whnt Is Democracy!" i Public'Ledger, The question might have been answered In a very few words, by quoting the language of Wil liam Allsn, of Ohio. A few years since—ln 1838, we think—when Mr. Allen was a member of ihe U. S. Senate, a Whig member oneetlngly asked Mr. A. this very same question—" what is Democracy!” The Ohio Senator answered prompt ly, ns follows: . “Democracy, a sentiment not to bo appalled, corrupted or compromised. It knows no base noso, It cowers to no danger, it oppresses no weak ness. Destructive only of despotism, it is Ihe sole conservative of liberty, labor and properly. It la the sentiment of freedom, of eqnaUights, of equal obligations—the law of nature pervading the law of tho land I" , Such was the response of William Allen, and it was a noble response, worthy of .Ihe man and the democracy of the nation. Conorcssiomal PniNTiNO.—Tlio bide for print ing for next Congress were opeM week. It ie eteted that Mr. Hives, of flfe G/oie, Is the successful competitor for it portion of 11, el prices even bolow, those paid for printing for tho present Boyd Hamilton, of Philadel phia, was the lowest bidder for the remainder.

Muon Brown.

It is to be Jibpcdi therefore, that members will talk less and wor|r more during the few days left them for the transaction of business. Nearly, the whole ofilho appropriation bills have to be acted on, and the Chairman of the Committee of Way* and Means has repeatedly warned the Houso ofthe dan ger-of delay. Wo suppose that they will all be passed,* and perhaps, without much examination, as is usually tho cade when biHs hreTposlponod to (he few last days of the session. Then there are tho cheap pbstiigd bill; the bill to indemnify claimants for French spoliationsi the* bill reported by Mr Stanton, to establish a lino of stppmero to Africa; the Californio: rail road and branch mini bills; and various other measures, whieh should : be«oted'on during Ihop cscnt sossion. WhaUis to tpcorae of these .bills?' Will members continue to :< spend the time in useless discussions; and pormU.llioso. mea*. sures to be postponed “to a more convenient season?” Or, will they practico a little industry for the benefit of their country 7 * j .. • • ♦ Among tho bills 'mentioned above, there are two which wo consider of the greatest importance to the future welfare of the' nation, vir. that to establish the African line of steamers—arid that to construct a railroad to California. Tho first would rbllove-us of a population which is felt' to be a burthen in every State, and thus remove one cause of sectional feeling —arid the other would make the United States (he groat thoroughfare for all the commerce of Asia*— The former would cost less than is now .expended in the' support of a.squa’dron on the'coast- of Africa; whilst the latter would not take a dollar from the •public treasury. Both measures arc anxioosly de sired by. the people, and wo cannot ■conceive any justifiable pretext upon which they can be postponed. Wo say, then, (hat if members will apply themselves diligently for the balanee.of tbp session, «bott>as. it is, all the measures which wp have erjumeratedrand. all others of public importances can bo passed before llio adjournment.
