MORE STATE ROBBERY 1 Our readers will remeiukr that when Mott instituted suit again-t the railroad company for the purpose of defeating the wishes of the pc pie as to a sale of the Main Line of Public Works, we said then that the accounting officers of the State ought to take care thet Mott and his asso ciates paid their owu bills. It now appear that S3OOO have been paid out of the State Treasury to the counsel employed by Mott and others, as follows : Wm. M. Meredith, $100) C. R. Backalew, 750 Wm. L. Hirst, 750 James 11. Walton, 500 Total, S3OOO Not one cent of this money, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, should have been taken from the Treasury. It should have cotue from the perso"? who employed the lawyers and had their services. No officer or officers of the State bad legal authority to pledge the State for the money, and no officer or officers had legal authority to pay any amount for such a purpose. It has been suggested that the Canal Commissioners, 41 State officers, employed these gentlemen. To but one of these bills were the Canal Commissioners a party. These gentlemen served in all alike, and therefore could not have been retained fer one only. But the Canal Board had no right to make any contract of that charac ter. On the contrary, recent legislation took that power directly from them.— Hence, if they did employ the couuse], they should have been compelled to suffer whatever consequences resulted from their illegal action. The lawyers, could, doubt less, have made good their claim against Mr. Mott and others, and to avoid this 'he latter induced the Auditor General and Treasurer to pay them. Think of the in expressible meanness and dishonesty of the transaction. How fortunate that ;uch men have had their power for evil greatly di minished by the -ale of the Main Line, for they appear to have defiled all they have touched. In every point of view the transaction just developed is of the rnoet disreputable character. There can lie no question of its utter illegality. There is not a semblance of law to justify it, nor is there any established principle to give it countenance. \Y c have never known a more reckless abuse of tru-t than is invol ved in this mal-appropriation. We hope never to see another. The most charitable explanation to make is, the ignorance of the Auditor General and sftate Treasurer. It is difficult to suppose both ignorant of the law which passed the hist Legislature after a most interesting debate. liut such ignorance, if it existed, is criminal, and is an aggravation, not a palliation, of the of fence.

David Wilmot and the Tariff Never having published the letter of Judge Wib t, explaining hi.* position on the Tariffquestion. we present it to our readers to-day, with the letter addressed to ; him by It. Imports. on the subject. lIOtSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ) H'tnis}>> n/. Jan. IS. 1855. \ Won. Dae id Wilmot, —Dear sir:—Your friends here will bring your name before the Legislature in connection with the office of United states Senator. The main ob jection urged against you arises out of an . impression entertained by many, that you ! are unfriendly to the great interests of our \ State. We should be glad to see you here, but if you cannot visit JlaflrLsburg before the ! election, please give us in a letter the hls j tory of your course in. Congress, on the ! tariff question, as there seems to be a mis : apprehension abroad inregard to your views, if I have properly understood them. B. Laporte. MONTROSE. Jan. 25, 1855. My Pear Sir :—Your favor came to hand last evening. Ido not think I .-hall be at Hrtrrisburg. The week vacation between j u.y Courts would be mostly occupied in the j journey, leaving me but little acquaintance ■ of gentlemen now assembled at the Capitol. Again if there were no difficulties in the ! way, I would be reluctant to show myself' at Ilarrisbag at this time.. Not that I am ; indifferent to the issue of the Senatorial election ; but I do not want to appear as a selfish and ambitious aspirant for the place. I have cot, as you well know, been eager j for Senatorial honors, nor have I. in any way whatever, been instrumental in making myself a candidate. The connection of j my name with the office of Senator is the result of the late signal revolution in the pod tics, of the State, and ou my well known pc*>:ti n, ou one at least, of the important issues upon which that revolution turned, and not through any vanity or scheming of my own. To visit llarri.-burg at this time would subject me to suspicion, and to the charge of and selfish motives, which I wholly and emphatically disclaim. I do not deny that I should feel a perso nal pride in an election to one of the high est and most honorable positions in the gov ernment; but I do deny thut I desire the place for any selfish or personal ends. I should Lope, if elected, to be of some ser vice to the country, and to the cause of sound principles. While I claim no etui- ; nent qualifications for the "01 e, 1 do, nev ertheless, believe that my election would, in ttome respects, be fortunate, especially so in uniting and cementing for future ac tion the men who achieved the late signal victory in this State. You say that the main objection urged against me arises out of an impression en- ! tertained by many that J. am unfriendly to the great interests of our State. This is a total misapprehension of my feelings and position, and springs doubtk-.-.- from the fact that hi 1846 I could not act -with uiy • colleagues in a profitless and obstinate sup port of the tariff" of IH-t'i. It was appa j rout, tvoeks before the late tariff"bill passed, that the act of '42 could not .stand. I was in favor of its revision and modification, and in doing this was zealously anxious to j preserve for the grest interests of our State 1 permanent and W security; and to this ; end I labored industriously and perse ve | ringly. On tlie floor of the"House I urged | the laying of sj < ifol instead of ad colon in duties upon iron, and to an extent that ; should give security to our interests against ruinous foreign competition. 1 entered into an argument to prove the propriety and advantage of specific over ad valorem duties, in respect to the various articles, and especially in regard to ir< u; establish ing, to my satis fiction, that position, as well in respect to the inkiest of the revenue, i as also to that of the consumer and manu j facturer, that every interest would be pro j motel by laying specific duties on iron. I appealed to the House OR behalf of the i iron interests of our State, claiming for it a notional respect and consideration, indit ing that the iron interest was justly enti tle I to stand upon higher ground than any other branch of manufacturing business, for it is of i\. truly national character, as a nec essary element of national defence, and en titled therefore to the special and favorable repaid of the nation. I insisted that the same rule should not ie applied to an in tere-t of this magnitude, that was applied to the manufacture oi thread, tape, pin.-, button.-. ic., Ac. These are no new doc trines put forth to meet the occasion, but the doctrine placed on the records of (,\n .grcss, and easily found in its volumes of debates. I not only spoke in behalf of (he inter of our .State, but I icorlv<l earnestly in the House, and out of it, to give to that interest ;in ndequoi* and jjrrmanent secu rity. I believed then, and I believe now. if a part even of' the Democratic delega tion in Congress from this State would have agreed to a modification of the tariff of '42. that our great interest could have been abundantly secured. If a majority of Democrats from this State would have agreed to support the bill, they could al most have made their own terms, so far as Pennsylvania interests were concerned. — We met once or twice in caucus, to see if part at least, could not agree upon the terms on which we should support the bill. In these cmsulfati ns I expressed an ear nest desire so to shape my action as to pro tect the interests of our State. I pledged myself, in case the caucus would agree upon the rates of xjnrijic duties for iron, to oppose the bill unless they were adopted by the House. .Some two or three of them 1 believe favored this plan ; but a large ma jority would agree to nothing. Thev would stand by the tariff of' '42 in all iu,htail s, agreeing to no modification whatever. J well recollect that Doctor Leib, of Colum bia, arid Broadhead, declared they would not vote for any change whatever, even if in the new bill the duties on iron and coal were allowed to stand, or raided above the rate provided in the act of 42. t*ueh in fact was the position of many in the dele gation. I was pledged to a modification of the act of '42 : yet was intensely anxious that our interests should not be put in jeopardy. I said ami did all in my power to protect those interests. I made no concealment or disguise whatever of my anxiety in this respect, aid repeatedly declared in the friends of the bill, thst if I beiu its fate in rav bauds, it nii'Otld not until a j more just and libera! protection was afford-1 ed to the interests of -ur State. 1 went t so tar as to see and talk with Mr. Dallas, while the measure was pending in the j Senate, and urged him, in case he-should hold the fate of the bill on his vote, to j ibrce its friends to a more liberal regard | fr our own interests. I did not wish the j defeat of the bill—of this there was no danger—but to rotnpt-J its friends so to change it. as to make the interests of oar State secure. Indeed, so anxious was I to bring about this result that I voted j Jtgaiiist concurring in a Senate amendment i of trifling importance; It is because of; tliis Tote, that the Washington Union and | Pennsylvanian have charged me with ade- j sire to defeat the bill in the final and try- j iug hour of its fate. "The charge is untrue i —I gave the vote in the hope of forcing j the bill into a committee of conference, where I understood it would h. open to general amendment, and thus aff irdingone more chance of so amending the 1 ill a.? t-• secure the interests of our State. I am of the firm belief, that if six Pem crats ft m Pennsylvania would have acted with Hie, instead of adhering immovably to the act of '42. that our State would have obtained all that reasonably could have bc-n asked, and her gnat ; ntt re-ts placed on a sAi. factory at id }>- rmanent basis. In the early slages of the bill, before its friend lead counted and marshaled their free we could, in my judgment, have sectml adequate ?j. r -7?-. dutic-. In thi- I maybe mistaken, hut think not. It is certain that we could have obtained fifty per cent. o3 valorem. Even in the latter -tages of the bill, and when it? jia--..ge was certain with out any of our votes, so anxious were its friends to secure Pennsylvania support (from party considerations) that M'Kay, who had charge of the bill as chairman of the Committee on Ways ar.d Means, offer ed to move forty per cent, on iron if half the Democrat:- from our ffate would then vote for the bill. It always seemed to n.e strange, when the passage of the hill was certain, that our men would ruit make sure of all they could get. They, however, were pledged to the tariff of *42 and it was easier to stand by their pledges, than U> explain t< their constituent the res-on for a departure from, hoover good their rea sons might have been. I was pledged to a modification of the act of '42, and alter exhausting every effort to .secure the inter est-- of our State, redeemed that pledge; declaring at the rime I did so, that if the bill depended on ray vote. I would withhold it until a Larger measure of justice was ineted out to oui State. I haW- given a full and truthful history of ruy action on the tariff in 184(5, and oi' the feelings and motives that influenced rny conduct. The record will sustain this tatement, in al! matters where the record can -peak.
