Intelligencer & lournal. E. W. HUTTER, EDITOR lancaster, December 19, 1848. CT7* Several columns of editorial and selected matter, together with numerous advertisements, • have been crowded out by the Report of the Sec retary of the Treasury. As this is the last of the Tong documents we intend to publish, we shall hereafter be enabled to furnish our accustomed variety. ID* W A Christmas Ball is to be given at the ' Mechanics' Institute on next Thursday evening. The preparatory arrangements indicate that it will be one of unusual brilliancy and fashion. Secretary Walker’s Report. Next to the Presidents Message, the most im portant of the documents annually transmitted to Congress,'is theßeport of the Secretary of the Treasury. It treats of the finances of the country in which every tax-payer is directly interested. How the money that supports Government is raised, and how expended, are matters "which the public have a right to know—and they should esteem it a duty to familiarize their minds with them. We have hence, to the exclusion of our usual miscel lany; published the report entire, and trust every one of our readers will peruse it, from the commence ment to the conclusion. Every Democrat should read it. as well for the sake of its statistics and its doctrines, as also for its highly important recom mendations, and as a reliable weapon lor the over throw of protectionists in the field of political dis putation. Would that we could induce, also, every Whig Farmer in Lancaster county to read it, with minds free from party prejudice ami passion. If they would do this, we feel as certain as of our ex istcuce, that they would not long be clamorous, or -at all desirous, for a high protective tariff; and that the frightful 5300 Federal majority would vanish as mist before the rising sun. We apprehend, how ever, that the truths contained in this splendid doc ument will never find their way into the opposition journals of this county. They will be simply coir tent with abuse of its eminent author. Far from us be the wish to under-value the ag gregate intelligence of the people. To call this into question, has been from time immemorial the peculiar province of our opponents. In this respect, we believe the people of Pennsylvania will favora bly compare with those of any other Stale in the Union. But it is not to be disguised, that even in this boasted land of Penn, and in .this age of com mon schools and penny newspapers, there exists on the subject of the Tariff an incalculable amount of false logic and worse doctrine. Superior c: .ft and cunning, stimulated to the work by the pow. ful incentive of self-interest, have involved the ques tion in a labyrinth of error, until a multitude of intelligent minds confess a total bewilderment both in respect to effects and causes. We have some where read of a simple-hearted Jonathan, who during the last war visited a menagerie and reques ted to be shewn the Embargo, which was then the reigning topic of conversation, and which lie had pictured to himself as a very curious many-horned animal. It has not yet come to pass, we believe, that the Tariff is enquired of in a Zoological Insti tute, but it is quite certain that with many folks it has become a purely imaginary character. What for example, in the entire range of polem ics, more contrary'to sound philosophy and to com mon sense, Jhan the proposition that High Taxes are a source of wealth to the men who pay them, and that the more you drain the purses of-the peo ple, the more readily they are filled! What great er violence to the established relations ol cause and effect, than the doctrine that the higher an ar ticle be taxed, the cheaper the price! A political economist, able.to establish these as truisms, would deserve to be rewarded above the discoverer of the philosophers stone, the perpetual motion, or any other of the modern improvements, by which man kind are seeking to evade the Divine behest in favor of Labor. Steam has wrought wonders—and the tamed lightning many more—but what are these else than Lilliputian . results, compared with the grander achievement of enriching men by the im position of enormous Taxes! California gold is creating an amazing stir—but what a silly pother ! Only wait until Congress re-establishes a high tariff, thereby doubling and quadrupling the taxes, and we shall all become, rich as the Barings and the Rothschilds! Go to the California mines who may. We are resolved to stay at home, and reap the golden harvest that is to follow the increase of taxes nnder the restoration of the tariff of 1842 ! The whole thing is an anomaly, and ‘-nothing else." Only look at it. Congress is required to provide means for the support of Government, and for this purpose imposes taxes on the people. They are levied indirectly , to be sure, on what they con sume of foreign production, but are nevertheless taken from the consumer's pocket as palpably as are the direct taxes levied oh their farms and dwel lings, for state, county k school, and road purposes. Secretary Walker, in behalf of Uncle Sam, affirms, that thirty dollars on the hundred is a tax sufficient, and that all beyond that is fraught with injustice and oppression. Whereatthe tax-payers take affront, declaring their determination to be taxed still more, whether Uncle Sam hath need for the money, or not, because in this way, forsooth, the domestic in* dustry is protected, and the wages of labor preser ved! If it were -proposed thin to increase their other taxes, without rhyme or reason, they would wetHoirft expel Its advocates from their barm yards, and serve them right in so doing. And yet —(strange world!) they will travel ten miles with pleasure to vote for the candidates of a party, which makes these its leading doctrines. For the overthrow of these and kindred fallacies —as we shall not hesitate hereafter to denounce them—no man has ever risen up in America who has labored with more energetic and Untiring inde fatigableness than ROBERT J. WALKER. [We print his name in capitals, in token of our admira tion and respect.] Truly, his have been the toils of a Hercules—his of mi Argus.f Undaunted by a brood ofbirds of evil omen, pre saging ruin and desolation—unmoved by artificial panics and pressure, produced by monopolists and rnoney-mongers—for the triumph of Truth, ami the discomfiture of Error —for the extension of Com merce and the spread of the pure principles of Democracy—he has submitted for nearly four long years, with alacrity and with patience, and with a total abnegation of self, not only to constant and laborious toil by day, but to wasting'nocturnal vi gils, to disease and emaciation, and on one occasion almost to the last agonies ol expiring nature. — Archimedes declared that if he had a place to plant his fulcrum, he would have moved the earth. Robert J. Walker has not only moved, but has utterly overthrown, and destroyed, a world of False hood and Error, and erected on its ruins a splendid superstructure, consecrated to the triumphs of Truth and Justice. And what has been his propel ling power ? Genius, Patience, Perseverance, Tal ent, Firmness, Faith ! He lias grappled with Mo nopoly in its firmest fastnesses, and has utterly routed and dethroned it. The proofs ot these tri umphs—which are lovelier than the story of an hundred battles—are eloquently recorded in this report, which we pronounce the master-piece! the chef 'd'ouvre l of all his productions. The Gold Dollar. The Hairisbttrg Union advances a suggestion which should well commend itself to the attention of Congress—the coinage of gold dollars . In Spain and South America they have gold coin's as low as ninety cents, and the Union well remarks that <; gold dollars should be introduced to take the place of the filthy shin-plasters that have flooded our country tor years.” Business on the Rail-Road* To Georsx B.

Taylor’s Cousins. The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says, Gen. Zachary Taylor is a first cousin of the celebrated “John Taylor of Caroline,’* who in our earlier history gained so much celebrity as an expounder of Democratic principles. Now that the • friends of the President elect are employed in currying relationship with great men, will they allow us to give them a lift'/ The word' Tailor, rendered into German, is Schneider —and we shall hence next expect to hear that Zachary is also a first or second cousin of Simon’ Schneider. a name held in such deserved remembrance by the German Democracy of Pennsylvania. It is our earnest wish, that the example of these well beloved cousins may exercise a salutary influence with the incoming administration. Tlie Tariff of 1842. Dr. Gkohge N Eckert, the member of Con gress from Schuylkill county in this State, has in troduced a resolution into the House of Representa tives, instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of reporting a tariff bill embracing the principles of the act of 1842. Every Democratic member from Pennsyl vania, who voted at all, except, Mr. Charles J. Ingersoll, voted against the motion. The tariff of 1842 was. such a budget of absurdities and inequalities—and so fatally subversive of the true interests of the American people—that the most sanguine protectionist cannot seriously hope for its restoration. When the Alien and Sedition laws •-it'.ill be resuscitated—when the National Bank -nail be no longer an “obsolete idea”—when the Bankrupt Law shall be revived—then, bHt not umd then, may we be prepared for the re-enact ment of the tariff of 1842. Its epitaph lias long since been written. Another Sign. Gen. HENnr H. Ross, the President of the New York Electoral College, after the vote of the State had been cast for Taylor and Fillmore, entertained the Electors with a congratulatory speech. But to the surprise of his political associates, according to the report in the Albany Atlas, he “gave the credit of the election to the masses, not to the whig lead ers, and trusted that the non-proscriptive doctrines, avowed by Gen. Taylor would be carried out in the practice of. his administration. *’ Whereat some of the electors murmured, saying: “These things did very well to talk about before the election, but we dreamed not that any of us should speak o r them after the election.” ‘ “ Look to the Senate.” Elections for S'enators in Congress have recently been held in the following States: lOWA.—Hon. A. G. Doixle and Gen. G. W. Jo:o;s, both sterling Democrats, have been elected, on Ist ballot, over Low and Wallace (whigs.) This settles a protracted dispute—and in the right way. INDlANA.—Governor James Whitcomb, one of the ablest of the Western has been chosen the successor of Mr. Hannegan. ARKANSAS.— SoIon Borland. (Dem.) who so highly distinguished himself in Mexico,has been chosen for a lull term of six years from the 4th of March next. NORTH CAROLINA.—One ballot has been had for Senator in place of Badger (whig) but resulted in no choice. It isthought that Mr. Badger cannot be re-elected. SOUTH CAROLINA.— Hon. A. P. Butler, (Dem.) has been re-elected for six years from the Ith of March, 1,84 U. Jhe almost simultaneous election of 5 Demo cratic Senators affords but a melancholy prospect for the re-enactment of the “ Tariff of 1842.” “The Daily Republic. 9 ’ One of the beat conducted and most entertaining ofnur exchange joumaU—of which we-have a goodly number—is the Philadelphia Daily Rtpuhliu H'iu addicted to Free SeilUm, but its articles on general subjects sparkle with genuine humor .and abound in tact and talent. With Doctor jfiuiifii, the editor, we have no personal acquainttujee, but if his medicines are as well to digest as his editorials, we should not object to be his patient. Charge to Rome, It is understood at Washington that the name of Major Cass, son ot Gen, Cass, has been handed into the Senate lor the vacant Chargeship to Rome, and the nomination, it is expected, will ba>unanimously confirmed. Governor of Virginia, j John B. Floyii, Esq., (Dem.) was elected Gov ernor of Virginia, by the Legislature of that State, on Tuesday last. The Enquirer speaks of him as a highly accomplished and capable citizen. ; A Daring Woman. —The Indianapolis 'Journal chronicles the marriage of a Mr. Boutright to a Miss Thornton, the lady being the bridegroom's ninth wife. Such an instance of daring on the part of a lady, and perseverance on the part of the gen tleman, is seldom recorded. ' ITT" George H. Miles, a young Baltimore law yer, graduate of St.- Alary's College, Emmittsburg, has received a check forslooofrom Edw'in;Forest, he having proved the successful competitor; for the second best five act tragedy written for that tra gedian. ] 'l he Cabinet. —Mr. Crittenden, it is now well understood, positively declines to leave his;post as Governor of Kentucky, for a seat in the Cabinet. Air. Rives, of Va., and Air. Clayton, of Del., are most spoken of in Washington for Secretary of State. ; 1 A Cold Check.’ —A clerk in Boston dined by invitation on Thanksgiving day with his employers, who afterwards presented him with a check for $l5O, as an extra reward for his management of their business so that they profit by thousands. Such generosity is so unparalleled that we jfeel im pelled to record it. 07* The present session of Congress bids fair to answer our expectations of its being a quiet one. There appears to be no disposition to precipitate business. —National Intelligencer. We should like to know who ever accused the J assembled wisdom” of precipitating business' 2 “Union Boreas Society.” Among the several excellent and praiseworthy associations formed by the ladies of Lancaster, who are ever foremost in works of Christian benevolence, the Union Dorcas Society deserves to hold the highest prominence Taking its name after the distinguished benefactress, whose good works and alms-deals have been immortalised in scripture, the females of this association are employed, in view of the approach ing inclement season, in preparing garments and cohering for the poor. The following report speaks eloquently of the the commendable works of this most excellent society: Third Annual Report of the Union Dorcas Society of the City of Lancaster ; The approach of the usually inclement season has again induced the members, of this society to hold their weekly meetings in the Lutheran S. S. building. They convene every Wednesday after noon for the purposeof preparing clothing, comforts, &c. for the poor, and of seeing and supplying those who are suffering. Our Society may be truly called a Union Dorcas Society, because members of seven various churches in town, and the majority of their pastors are connected with it, either as members or contributors. This feature encourages us the more, to call upon the Christian charity of our fgJlow-citizens. that by their contributions they may assist us in iulfilling the object of our associ ation. We would fain indulge the hope, that a knowledge of the existence and activity of a society like ours, will be sufficient to induce many, with whom our. Heavenly Father has dealt kindly and mercifully to send us either money or articles of clo thing, or materials for making comforts and gar ments for the needy' poor. Let us remember him who has left us an example that we should follow his steps ; He went about doing good and solemnly declares that it is more blessed to give than to re ceive, and that whatsoever we shall do to the least of His Brethren, He will consider and reward as done to Himself. Let us therefore not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not- The sum ol f)U cents annually constitutes a mem ber—how many among us could easily spare this trifling sum and by associating themselves with oar society cause the widows heart to sing for joy, and the fatherless orphan to call blessings upon our heads, whilst at the same the advantage would be gained that persons coming to our own doors, would be referred to the society, meeting on Wed nesday, whose members will investigate the situa tion of such applicants and assist them if found worthy. In this manner charity' would be directed into its proper channel, the bold impostors would be sent off empty, and modest shrinking poverty receive such help as it needs and is deserving of.
