lintelligenctr - & Journal. GEORGE SANDERSON, EDITOR Lancaster, November 6, 4849. Gen. Joseph Lane. On our firat page Will be found a rapid sketch of the career of <this gallant Indianian, copied from the Pennsylvanian. The facts embodied in this brief history of one of the most remarkable men of the age, speak for themselves of his exalted char acter and services. That such a man, to. use the linguage of a cotemporary, should not have been an exception to the avenging and indiscriminate ate c ,of the present administration, is neither a mat surprise nor regret. It is by such acts ofin :,;,"';ratice and proscription, that its true character is developed. They stamp upon the ruling dynasty at Washington a name and a reproach which its worst enemies could scarcely attach to it—whilst they confer on the objects of this proscription, it possible even higher distinction in the estimation of the American people. The Rambler. We direct our readers to a communication, under the above caption, on the Tariff—a, ; question of absorbing interest to the people, and"' one which ought to he presented to their minds in a plain. practical way, so that every person can understand it. Our rorrespondent is well qualified for the task, and as he contemplates writing a series of commu nications on the same subject, we can safely prom ise the readers of the Intelligencer a thorough and interesting investigation of the whole Tariff system. Col. George llcreely. This gentleman is strongly urged by a corres pondent of the Pennsylvanian, for the office of State Treasuw. 'His residence is in Carlisle, Cumber land county—and along and intimate personal acquaintance with him, justifies us in saying that as an honest, intelligent and incorruptible Democrat, no man in the State would make a more efficient and trustworthy officer. The Col. commanded the 23d :Regiment of r ld. S. Infantry during the lat ter part of the war with Great Britain—a body of troops, acknowledged on all hands to be the best drilled Regiment in the Army, owing to the supe rior knowledge and-industry of its commanding officer. The correspondent above alluded to, truly says:—"Cod...llcFeely has been in other and harder campaigns than political ones, having served his country on the Niagara frontier, in the war of 1312, gaining a high character for personal bravery, and conferring honor on the patriotic county from which he volunteered." 117 Several of our Federal contemporaries of .this city seem very much troubled at our notice of the increase of fare by the Eagle Line Company— for the reason, we suppose, that they themselves had been silent on the subject. But, why had they taken no notice of the matter '+ The reason is obvious—there was no election pending, conse quently no opportunity was afforded them of mak ing political capital, by trying to saddle the blame upon the Democratic Board of Canal Commission er; although, for aught we know to the contrary, a majority of the Eagle Line Company may be uncompromising Whigs! Had the extortion been attempted five or sikweeks sooner, their uproarious denunciation of Col. Exotisrl and the Canal Board would have been heard throughout the county, and from the Susquehanna to the Delaware ;—but as it occurred since the election, not a word was heard, not a note sounded in condemnation of the measure. Our short notice, however, seems to have waked them up a little from their dreamy state of forget fulness, and in their incoherent mutterings we find them attempting to throw the blame upon Col. ENGLISH, the gentlemanly Superintendant of the Railroad, who had about as much to do with the act of the Eagle Line Company as the Man in the Moon. It won't do, gentlemen—you must strike some other chord. If you are favorable to the extortion practised by the Company, as your silence would seem to imply, have the manliness to say so fearlessly and openly—but do not attempt to cover up your own delinquencies to the public, by a silly attempt to saddle the blame upon Col. E. and th'e Canal Commissioners. Gen. &mem Mileldc We are sincerely glad to announce that this heroic soldier, and unflinching peinocrat, is elected again to the U. S. Senate, from Illinois. The 'Mee Lion took place in the Illinois Legislature, on the 27th ult., and resulted as follows —Shields iv— 'Edwards 21. Appointments at Washington. By the President—John C. Clark, First - Auditor, to be Solicitor of the Treasury, vice Gillet removed. (Walter Forward, Esq., declined the appointment.) Thomas S. Smith, formerly Register, to be First Auditor, vice Clark promoted. Amory Holbrook, of Massachusetts, to be Dist. Attorney for Oregon, vice Mr. Coombs resigned. By the Secretary of the Treasury—John McGinnis to be Chief Clerk, vice McClintock . Young resigned. George Harrington to be principal Clerk, vice John McGinnis, promoted. McClintock Young, Esq., is not yet appointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasurer. The an nouncement was premature. Reads Off! It is announced, upon "reliable authority," by the Washingtou correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, that pretty soon the U. S. Treasurer, Sixth Auditor, and First Assistant P. i\l. General, are to be removed—together with most of the subordinates - under them. The result of the elections is making the " Second Washington" somewhat savage. M. Bodisco not Banished. Madame BODTSCO publishes a eard'in the Wash ington city papers, in which she altogether denies the statement set forth Jby the correspondent of the New York Courier and Enreirvr, relative to the banishment of her husband to Siberia by the Em peror of Russia. She says that she received a letter by the last steamer from her husband, stating that he had left Russia on his return to the U. States, and : would arrive about the Ist of January. The N. England Cotton Factories. The St. John's Observer contains a severe article on the alleged ill•treatment of the young women who have been brought up from the Provinces to work in the Cotton Factories. It says the girls are worked to death, and, although nominally paid good wages, have to buy everything at exorbitant prices of stores connected_ with the factories, so that they realize nothing. This is Yankee cunning. They dischaiged American girls, because they W'anted something more than starvation prices; and have employed girls from the British provinces instead, who are dying of the toil and poor pay.-- Spirit of the Times. Let the girls come to Pennsylvania, where they will be treated differently. Here, in Lancaster, where.there are already two Cotton Factories in operation, and the third one under roof, there are no stores connected with them for the purpose of parng the operatives in goods at exorbitant prices. The !girls receive good wages, with which they can 'go t 45 any of the splendid establishments in the city, and buy goods as cheaply, if not more so, than any where else in the State. 13:rHon. has M. Potzza, of Easton, is favor-' 1 ably'spoken of for Speaker of the House, at Harris barg. Judge P. is a man of fine abilities for the station, and is unqnestionably one of the most tal ented men elected to either branch of the Legislp Cure. •New York votes today. The Czar and the Sultan. Now Sits Expectation in the air, And hides a sword from hilt unto the point With crowns imperial. Herr. V. The most intense interest is created in every circle by the recent news from Europe. A uni versal stillness, a brooding quiet seems to have fallen upon that excited continent so lately the theatre of strife and revolution, The refusal of the Poite to deliver to their persecutors the Hun garian fugitives, has roused the ire of the Czar, and with a single word he may pour down upon the Ottoman empire his wild hordes of Cossacks, and plunge Europe in a general war. Here it is un necessary to pass encomiums upon the conduct of the Chief of those who worship faceward to Mecca, and who bend at the shrine of a false prophet.— The great cause of humanity by his course has gone forward a century in his dominions, and the oppressed ,and down-trodden have found a new protector. The contrast is a striking one. Austria, with high pretensions to refinement and enlighten ment, engaged in pitilessly hounding and hunting down those whose only crime was devotion to freedom, stalks a living lie among nations; and Turkey,' which has so long held a hybrid place among governments, shelters the persecuted, succors the unfortunate, and protects the defenceless. The conduct of the British and French govern ments at this crisis infirm, decided and most praise worthy; for there can be no mistaking the fact that the Sultan is supported in his determination by these two great powers. No matter what may be the Ouse of the assistance they seem ready to afford —whether it is dictated by those finer feelings of our nature, which are ever ready to spring into action at the relation of deeds of benevolence, or whether from far sighted views of policy, and a desire to curb the growing power and influence which the Autocrat has been so steadily and surely acquiring, our sympathies are aroused and our heartiest wishes go forth on their behalf. The decision of the Emperor and of his imperial council, with regard to the joint missive sent him by Eng land and France, is waited for with the most intense anxiety. On his single word now hangs continued peace or most fearful war. What that decision may be we cationly conjecture. If he retracts his demand made 'of the Porte, that sway and mastery which he holds on the Continent will have received a check, which it will take years to recover: On the other hand, consistency with himself, consistency with that stand and position which he has occupied; will plunge him into a bloody and long-lastihg struggle. If lie is the Emperor we have thought, possessed of such gigantic strength and resources, he will persist in the demand, not idly nor unguard edly made, and the consequences will be most ter rible. His ambition has long been directed towards the Turkish Empire, and if the time for his_ swoop has come, he will not recede. In the convuliion all Europe will be involved—in its results all will participate. Russia's only ally will be the tottering and feeble house of Austria. The Porte will be sustained mainly by the fleets and armies of Eng land and France; the Magyars will once more rush to arms, and the fire will spread throughout Poland and Lombardy, and wherever there has been a throe for freedom, or a blow struck for the rights of man. But the end of that conflict, though delayed, we think may be anticipated. Russia may lavish her wealth and sacrifice her serfs and subjects, the combination against her must have the vantage. Although the mountain barriers of the almost im pregnable Balkan were forced twenty years ago, and the armies of the Sultan vanquished, yet on much more equal terms will those armies meet the Russian hosts at this time. Irrespective of the aid derived from other sources. the Turkish forces will be by no means ineffective. Constant drilling for years, under able and experienced foreigners, now render's them no mean antagonists. Our gratification was heartfelt upon reading of the instinctive readiness with which our country. men at Constantinople manifested, in assembling and sending up their voices against the extradition of the Hungarians. That zeal for the unfortunate and unquenchable love of liberty which our repub lican institutions so surely kindle and foster, were there nobly evinced among a people of a strange tongue and a false religion. The policy of our own government, if it can be gleaned from Gen. Taylor's messages and declarations, will bee non-interfering one. Whilst other powers are in nrms, and other countries are ringing with the noise of the tumult, we will calmly sit with folded hands awaiting the result. What our duty is in the present exigency, we can leadily indicate but if' the future comes upon up us laden with strife and the dismember. merit and obliteration of governments, it will rest with the administration of President Taylor to follow that great pathway which our rank among nations clearly points out. Austrian Ferocity. Austria, notwithstanding it has conquered the Hungarians, or rather got the Russians to do what its own weakness could not accomplish, exhibits in its vengeance a ferocity which stongly marks its consciousness of its own imbecility and fear. Madame de MaderspaOh, a Hungarian lady of in fluence at Ruikburg, gives the following account of her own treatment after the surrender--"I was suddenly taken," she says, "by Austrian soldiers from my husband and children, and, without any charge having bean brought, or any previous exa mination made; 1 was dragged into a square form ed by the troops, and in the place where I reside and in the presence of its population, which 'had been accustomed to honor me, not because I was their mistress, but because the whole tenor of my life deserved it, I teas flogged with rods." Frantic at this dreadful act, her husband whom she de scribes as a man of the highest moral and intellec tual qualities, shot himself. The people attempted to massacre the commanding officer, but he was protected by the troops. "My son,"adds the lady, "who is only IS, was taken in Georgey's army, and has been sent as a common soldier to Italy. Thus my cup of bitterness is full. My misery is bound less, and it is only in the wish to liberate my boy that I now live." The Next House of Representa tives--What's to be Done? BENSETT of the New York Herald, an original Taylor man. thus discourses concerning the Ad• ministration and its prospects: " The Whig party, in the late elections, has been riddled into rags. Virginia, Maine, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, tell the same story. The cabinet is 'stove in,' and Truman Smith is out at the elbows. What's to be done? How shall we mend the broken crockery? The cabinet, and the cabinet organs, have made the next House of Representatives a test question —a question of life and death. With the organs, there was the prospect of the Congress printing— with the cabinet, there was the prospect of filling the offices of the House with their retainers, and the more important object of a popular verdict in support of the doings of the cabinet. The results are gloomy enough. The organs are left aground, and the cabinet stands condemned. The election of Colonel Polk was followed by a majority of sixty in the House. How is it that the more tri umphant election of Gen. Taylor, carrying with it almost the entire New York delegation, including Master Brooks, is succeeded by such a disastrous caving in? The reason is as clear as daylight. The cabinet have committed nothing but blunders, and their paltry and selfish intrigues have disgusted the country. They have not only united their enemies, but have divided their friends. Jealous of each other, and distrustful of popular sentiments— advocates of monarchy, and agents of abolitionism —the tendency of their doings has been to break down the administration, and to place this Govern. ment in the attitude of a mere subscriber to the Holy Alliance." Thanksgiving. Governor Jr:exams has issued a Proclamation, recommending the observance of Thursday the 29th instant., as a day of general thanksgiving through out the State. dos • The Bank Question Revived. It seems, says the Spirit Of Jefferson; that Mr. Clingman, a former member of Congress from the State of North Carolina, in a letter, addressed to a Mr. Draper, an auctioneer in the city of N. York, brings forward a scheme for a National Bank. It is to be founded upon the indebtedness of the United States. Thus, the creditors of the United States are to deposite their certificates of loan as so much stock in the proposed bank, and take therefor, from the bank, a certificate of stock. By this operation, which, no, doubt, would be very agreeable to the, Government creditors, they would not only receive their regular interest from the Government but their bank dividends also, amounting in all to about thirteen per centum. We could have no apprehen sion of such a project as this taking the place of the Independent Treasury law, for its absurdity, to say nothing of its iniquity, would inevitably insure its defeat. But we are satisfied that the letter of Mr. Clingman is 'only intended as a feeler on the subject. That ere long the matter will again be broached in a less objectionable shape, and then the Whig papers will begin to discuss the subject.— Our present treasury system may need some modifi. cations, but as to its repeal, we sincerely believe that the people of these Unitentates would never con sent to it. It has proved itself adequate to the re quirements of the-government in time of peace, in the midst of severe commercial convulsions, and in time of war, when money had to be transported to a foreign country. It has sustained our national credit to a degree never before known, and given the country by its incidental effects a currency that was never better.. What more could we ask? The Bank of the United States, in its palmiest days, never did so well. And were we to go back from what we know to be good, to what we know to be bad'? We hope not. We know that we are safe on this subject for four years to come, for we have a Dem ocratic Senate; and after that will have, in addi tion, a Democratic. President. The Pennsylvania Railroad. This great internal improvement is progressing rapidly. The cars, as our readers are already aware, are running as far as Lewistown, and it will not be long before a connecting link will be made with the State road at Hollidaysburg. The die tance from Johnstown to Pittsburg:will be put under contract immediately, and if the capitalists of the west subscribe liberally, as they no doubt will do, we will see a continuous chain of railroad from Philadelphia to Pittsburg in a short period of time. ; The Pittsburg Past has the following: We havebeen permitted to peruse a number of letters addressed to Col. McCandless by a gentle man in Philadelphia connected with the Pennsyl vania railroad, from which we are pleased to learn that the Western division of this great work will be put under immediate contract, and pushed for. ward with the utmost vigor. One letter states that Mr. Thomson has let the heavy sections im mediately beyond the mountains upon very advan tageous terms for the company. We also learn that 400,000 tons of Iron have been purchased for the Western division, which will be laid on the track as fast as it is completed. $200,000 of the bonds subscribed by this county to the road will be called for to enable the company to strengthen its finances. As money is plenty in the East, we pre sume there will not be the slightest difficulty in having the bonds cashed." Ul7 Col. JOHN W. FOII.VEY, of the Pennsy/eanian. is very favorably spoken of in many places for Clerk of the House of Representatives, at Washing ton. The Col. is just the man to fill the station with dignity and ability, and would make one of the most popular officers the House ever had. His splendid talents and untiring.energy, as the editor of one of the best Democratic papers in the Union, have given him a character and standing through out the United States, which but few of his coteni parades can aspire to. We sincerely hope that he may be elected to the office for which he is named. It would be an honor conferred on the noble De mocracy of the Keystone State whose battles he has helped so often and so ably to fight. trr We clip the following communication from the Washington Union, and insert it with pleasure, inasmuch as it contemplates a movement on behalf of a most worthy class of our fellow.citizens who have too long been neglected by the Government. We have in oar mind's eye several of these worthy patriots, officers who gallantly served their country in the second war of independence, and to whom this money justly due from the Government would be u great relief in their old age. We have always been in favor of paying well the men who peril health and life in the service of their country, and we can perceive ng good reason why the patriots of the war off' 1812 should not be placed upon the same footing with The brave men who carried our flag in triumph to the city of the Aztecs. The War of 1812. It is understood that the officers of the war with England intend applying to the next Congress for bounty and extra pay. It has been awarded to those of our fellow citizens who volunteered in that war, and joined their countrymen in the struggle, who had previously emigrated to Canada—to better their condition, perhaps. They received by act of Congress, approved sth March, 1816, a bounty in land equal to their relative rank, with three months' extra pay. Most assuredly, then, those of our citi zens who remained in their country and manfully pressed forward to the field of strite, paid their taxes for the support of government at a time when her finances were at a low ebb, and jeoparded their private affairs, should not go, as many of them have, to their graves unrequited. It is known that the officers in the war with Mexico, in addition to their regular pay, received three months' extra pay, and the soldiers their bounty in land, as well as three months' extra pay. It may be noted that a number of the officers who volunteered in the war of 1812, joined their countrymen in the war with Mexico, and received three months' extra pay.— Why, then, I ask, should not their copatriots of 1812 fare alike with them ? Much more might be said, but this article is intended to present only facts, and induce the people to urge their represen• tatives about to assemble at the Capitol of the nation to legislate for them, to mete out to the officers of the second war with England for Inde. pendence that which is justly due to a worthy class of citizens. D. E. D. Hon. James Thompson. This gentleman, who has co ably represented the Erie district and the State, for several years, in Congress, is strongly urged for the Speakership of the next House of Representatives by the Buffalo (N. Y.) Daily Courier. That paper does no more than justice to Judge T. when it says, "he is a gen. tleman of large experience in public affairs, and in Parliamentary bodies, of high talents, and his elec tion would be a deserved compliment to the Dem- ocrats of the Keystone State." 137 . Hon. ROBERT M. MCLANE, of Baltimore, is named as a candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives, at Washington. He is a gemle man of splendid talents, and would doubtless make an excellent presiding officer. State Treasurer. JACOB %mt.'s, Esq., of Lebanon county, is strongly urged for State Treasurer. Mr. W. is a sound and ardent Democrat, an active, intelligent blisiness man, and would doubtless make a compe tent officer. Rraunn VALI; Esq., of Philadelphia, is also named for the same station. He is also a good man, and would make a popular Treasurer. 11:r The old Postmaster at Troy, Ohio, being now Sheriff, has had to perform the duty of putting the new one hi jail t This is in order ; the Demo crat is out, the Whig in.

RecCption of Mr. Buchanan. We yesterday morning briefly alluded to the reception of the Hon. James Buchanan, by the Corn mittee of our Democratie fellow citizens, who met him at Shonstown, on his way hither. We now have ''the pleasure of presenting to our readers' a report of the remarks made on the occasion : REMARKS OF COL. M'CANDLESS M. Iluctuarax—My' fellow-Democrats, upon the impulse of the moment, have requested that I should bid you welcome to Pittsburg. Ido so, sir, with,greatpleasure. Had your let ter, announcing the probability of your arrival to day not miscarried, the fleet of steamboats at our wharf, would have been inadequate to contain the , throng of people anxious to greet you. It is rare that you visit - Western Pennsylvania ; and when you do come, your approach is so silent and unostentatious, that it is difficult for your per sonal and political friends to know the period of your advent Travelling alone, without equipage or attendants, you present the simplicity and beauty of the Repub lican character, illustrated in your private life, and stereotyped in your admirable political papers. Identified as you are with the administration of Mr. Polk, permit me to say, that in the judgment of those who surround you, its parallel can only be found in the early Presidents and Cabinets, who looked for their guide to the welfare of the people, and the preservation, intact, of the Constitution of the United States. In the name of my Dertiocratic Jellow-citizens, here hastily and spontaneously assembled, I invite you to out aggregate and individual hospitality. REPLY OF MR. BUCHANAN Your welcome, on behalf of my Demo:ratio lellow•citizeas, is characteristic of the cordial friend ship and support which I have ever experienced from The Democracy of the city of Pittsburg, and county of Allegheny. Throughout my past politi cal life, they have always sustained me ; and this with increased energy in the hour of severest trial. When clouds and darkness appeared to obscure my path,-their cheering voice has always been potent in dispelling the gloom and restoring the sunshine. From my heart I thank them for this spontaneous and enthusiastic welcome; but I feel that any at- Unapt of mine to express the emotions which now swell Imy bosom, would be a vain effort. lam now a private citizen; and the day of my political trials has probably passed away forever; but the record of their past kindness id indelibly engraved upon my heart. My connexion with the administration of Mr. Polk, to which you have referred, will ever be to me a source of heartfelt satisfaction. I can truly say that he was himself the leading and guiding spirit of the Cabinet. With abilities of a. superior order; he united indomitable energy, and untiring perseverance. Whatever he determined to do, he did it with all his might. ; He was the most labo rious' man I have ever known ; and his life was devoted, indeed I might almost say he fell a victim, to his labors and anxiety in the service of his coun try. Would that an all wise, but mysterious Prov idence had spared him a few years longer, to wit ness the effects of the measures of his administra tion f . A very brief period will serve to dispel the mists of prejudice which now hang over his policy; and I venture to predict, that the day is not far diitant when the American people, without distinc tion of party, will do justice to his memory, and award him a niche in the temple of fame, among the wisest and best of his predecessor's. I shall ever regard the part which I acted in his adminis tration, in conjunction with my eminent and patri otic colleagues, as the proudest and most useful period of my life. Canal Commissioner. Mr SaarnEnsox..--Permit me to recommend the name of Dr. Lev! Hula., of Litiz, as a candidate for the Office of Canal Commissioner oft'eunsyl vania. If &character of stern integrity, active and untiring business' habits f long dent and devoted attachment to the principles of the Democatic party, form any recommendation, Dr. Hull poisesses them in an eminent degree. The large and powerful body of his democratic friends bear ample testimony to his goodness of heart, and the friendship of his dis position. I know of no man who would fill the office with more ability, or render more satisfaction to the community than he. It is therefore with pride and confidence his name is presented to the consideration of the democracy for the office of Canal Commissioner. AN OLD DEMOCRAT Railroad to the Pacific. The St. Louis Railroad Convention adjourned on the 20th ult. An estimate was submitted by Col. Cowrie, a skillful engineer, of the cost of the road to the Pacific, and the cost of a survey. The road can be made, he thinks, for 4 1 .88,000,00 U; and one thousand men, and an engineer, with a party being assigned to each our hundred miles, ran complete the survey in one year. MIHNION ur IhNOCRACY.-•-.1 . 111' following remarks:of Dr. Chaining, from his discourses on the Dignity of Labor, beautifully define the principles of the Democratic creed :—."( iur mission is to ele. vats society with all its conditions, to secure every human being the means of progress, to substitute the government of laws for that of irresponsible individuals, to prove that under popular institutions the people may be carried forward, that the multi• tude who toil, are capable of enjoying the noblest blessings of the social state. The prejudice that labor is a degradation, one of the worst prejudices handed down from barbarous ages, is to receive here a practical refutation. The power of liberty to raise tip the whole people, this is the great idea on which our institutions rest, and. which is to be wrought out in our history. Shall a nation on such 'a mission, abjure, and even fight against the progress which it is specially called to promote ?" WIIEELING BRIDGE.—The Suspension Bridge across tbe Ohio river, at Wheeling, has been com pleted, and the builder (Mr. ELLET) crossed it, in a buggy, on the 20th ult. A large concourse of cit. izens were present, and cannons were fired in honor of the event. A LIBERAL CONGREGATION.—The Baltimore correspondent of the Washington Republic says: "The Rev. Mr. Baccus, pastor of the First Presby terian Church in this city, announced from the pul pit on Sunday, that within the past twelve years, the congregation over which he presided has given for charitable purposes the sum of $120,000. This is highly praiseworthy, and should serve as a nexam plc to others." OHIO.—The people of Ohio decided by an im mense majority, at the late election, in favor of calling a Convention to re model the Constitution of the State. The Delegates are to be chosen at the next annual election. It Professor J►MSS C. Boors has received the appointment of melter and refiner in the Philadel phia Mint, in place of Mr. M . Culloh, resigned. 113 The Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN arrived at home on Saturday last, from his western tour. We regret to learn that his sister, Mrs. Dr. YATES, of Mead ville, on whose account mainly he took the trip, is Very low, and that scarcely any hopes are enter tained of her recovery. IMPORT OP PROVISIONS INTO LIVERPOOL FROM Amr.race.—Mr. Gardner,the provision broker, gives the following as the imports into Liverpool alone, from the United States, for the last twelvemonths: 26, 000 tierces beef, 57, 000 barrels pork, 22 4,00 cwts. bacon, 15,000 hams, 50,000 barrels lard, 100, 000 boxes cheese, 8600 firkins butter. The value of the above is £1,000,000 sterling. LARD OIL.—In Cincinnati it is calculated that 1.1,000,000 pounds of lard will be run into lard oil this year, two sevenths of which aggregate will make stearine, the residue oil, say about 20,000 bbls of 43 gallons each. There is also an establishment in that city ex• tensively engaged in extracting the grease from the residue of the hog, and will probably this year op emte in this way on 30,000 hogs. This concern alone is expected to turn out this season 3,000,000 lbs. of lard. 3,000,000 lbs. stearine have been made in one year into candles and soap in these factories, and they can make 6,000 lbs of candles per average daily throughout the year. For, The Rambler. • The term Tariff is of obscure and uncertain ori gin. One 'traces it to the Arabic, and derives it from the verb d'araf, to know. Another announces it as of Spanish parentage, being called after the ancient town of Tarifa, in the south of Spain, the coffers of which were replenished by a system of duties charged upon imported merchandise. Altho' thus obscure in its origin, modern times do not per mit us to:mistake its meaning. For purposes of King ly and Governmental revenue, Tariffs, duties, or cus toms from ancient times, have been imposed upon articles of domestic and foreign produce. Anterior to the Christian era, Rome gathered tributes, cus toms and . taxes, through commissioned officers, in every conquered province. The duties of these officers- being burdensome to the vanquished, and an evidence of servitude, they were called publicans, and commonly classed with sinners. Zaccheus was the chief officer of customs in one of the Jew ish provinces. Although, during the wars of the middle ages, almost every province, nation and town acknowledged the yokes of foreign conquerors, yet the customs remained, or were increased to defray the expenses of continual war, or to enrich their temporary sovereign. Thus, the power to lay duties on articles of traffic, grew into a prerog ative, exercised by right of kings, and submitted to by their subjects. In England, Enwann I, gave the first example Of a digested Tariff, in a compact, framed for "Merchant Strangers," in which they agreed to pay him "three pence in the pound for, them t' all mer chandise imported and exported by the ' During the reign of CHARLES 11 , the various duties were collected for the first time into a book of rates or .Tariff:_ Since then, modifications have been made almost annually by Parliament, and the revenue derived therefrom, owing to the increase of com merce, wealth and population, has swollen from an inconside'rable amount to an extraordinary income. In 1506, the custom and excise of England amounted only to £50,000; in 1810 they reached £38,500,000. For a ion; period customs were charged indiscrimi nately on every kind of exported or imported mer chandise, This wasfinally altered, and duties were levied almost exclusively upon imported articles. It would be superfluous and far from our present purpose to enter into an argument to prove either the utility or the necessity of raising revenue by taxation for the legitimate operations and support of government. Public necessity, public tranquil ity, national safety, national industry, the adminis tration of justice, and the advancement of society, imperiously demand the existence and exercise of such authority. The usage of ages, the common consent of nations, the settled doctrines of political economy, and the remunerative relation of the pro tected to the protector, unite their authority in sup port and justification of the power. Under the Articles of Confederation of 1781, the only power reposed in Congress to raise revenue to I defray the expenses of Government, was the power "to' ascertain the sums necessary to be raised for i the service of the United States; - and to apportion 1 1 the quota or proportion on each State. To the States, the power to levy taxes was expressly re served. The evils resulting from this arrangement were soon, and sadly experienced. The apportion ' ment operating unequally upon the States, the time of payment being uncertain, the delay, and finally, the absolute neglect of some of the States to pay their quota for the expenses of the General Government I involved it in continual and irretrievable financial • embarrassments. The public faith was impaired, the public credit destroyed, and the power and efficiency of the Government completely prostrated. The evil was without a remedy, and this, with other fatal defects in the Articles of Confederation , speedily worked its dissolution. The Constitution of 1789 supplanted the Concede' ration. Among the enumerated powers of Congress lin that instrument, we find the following:—"Con ' grass shall have power to lay and collect taxes ,-duties, its posts and excises, to pay the debts and pro . ride for the 'amnion defence and general welfare of the United States." A power at once so important in its character, so comprehensive in its operations, touching the persons and property of all classes, naturally provoked a critical examination. The opponents of the Constitution contended that here I were two distinct, independent and substantial powers; whilst the friends of tile instrument con. ' tended, that that part of the clause in italics was appended to, and operated as a restrictive qualifica tion upon the former—the one providing the sources or revenue; the other pointing out its legitimate up plication. The latter construction prevailed—thus opening all the natural sources of revenue to the • Government, but solemnly declaring it to be uncon stitutional to apply that revenue to any other ob. ' jects than those expressly mei,,ioned in the clause. It is evident from the wording of this clause, that Congress contemplated the authority to levy both direct and indirect taxes—the former being a tax upon the person and his property, or poll and land tax, the latter being taxes on articles of consump tion, including duties, imposts and excises. Altho' this construction encountered a heated and acri ' monious opposition, the wisdom as well as the stern necessity of it were soon made apparent. It required no argument to prove that a goverment should command all legitimate sources of revenue. If certain ends are to be accomplished, the means must be adequate and unfailing. It is the common dictate of wisdom and experience to anticipate the extraordinary, as well as the ordinary exigencies of government. In the unrestricted power to procure a revenue adequate for all emergencies, rests the energy, the dignity, the stability and the credit of the Government, securing to it confidence at home land respectability abroad. The tune has, possibly, passed when war with any nation would essentially lessen the yearly increasing revenue from a grow ing and flourishing commerce; but during the in fancy of the Government such was far from the truth. Just emerging from a protracted and ex pensive war, with an enormous debt, with a com merce scarcely commenced before it was crippled, a revenue from imposts alone would not have saved the Government from poverty, inefficiency and dis grace. Consequently, during the first session of Congress, a system of internal excise was corn. menced concurrent with a system of dutiei on im portations. The famous excise act, imposing a duty on domestic distilled spirits, which caused the Whis key Insurrection in the western part of this State, was adopted by the second Congreis The Stamp Act, the Carriage Act, the Three Million Act, and various other internal taxes followed during the ad ministrations of the elder Adams and' Mr. Madison, in order to augment the insufficient revenue ob tained from importations. The impoverished condi tion of the country, the yet unsettled state of business, and their apparent unequal apportionment among the States, rendered these taxes burdensome and unpopular with the people. They were not then prepared to respond to a direct appeal to their pockets for the support of government. These acts were finally repealed during the administration of James Monroe, and the duties upon imported merchandise have since formed the chief sources of revenue. The two more important and yet unsettled ques- tions arising from the construction of this clause, viz: First, can Congress impose duties, and to what extent, for the encouragement of domestic manu factures? and, Secondly, whether Congress can. ap propriate the revenue for internal improvements? will command our attention as we progress with the general subject of the Tariff.

The particulars are as follows:—The locomotive 'Clar ion," with a freight train, was approaching the sta tion to take in water, when the coupling of part of the train broke. Twenty cars, all heavily laden, were thus liberated, and there being a heavy down ward grade, they ran down by their own gravity with immense speed. They went on as far as the Coatesville bridge, where they came in collision with another train which had lett Parkesburg some fifteen minutes previously. Such was the force of the shock that some twelve cars were demolished and three others were completely driven over the bridge. Two men, in the employ of the State, were at work re pairing the road near the spot. and not seeing the cars coming on the north track, were struck by them. One of them named Linn was instantly killed, his head being severed from his body. The other man, named Patton, was seriously hurt ? and is not expected to surrvive. It appears that the conductors of the cars which.broke loose, had left the train and gone into the hotel. They are em ployed by the tansporters,and had even one of them been on the train as they all should have been, he could have used the break, and prevented this de struction of life end property.—Daily News. Ohio---Agricultural Products. The Cincinnati Atlas gives the following table, showing the actual amount, as nearly as can be estimated, of the crop of Ohio last year, and the rank which Ohio bears to other States, as to that crop: Crops. Amount. Rank of Ohio. Wheat 20,000,000 bushels. Ist State Oats 4 30,000,000 do. 2d do. Indian Corn ' 10,000,000 do. 2d do. Hay- 1,900,000 tone.' 3d do. Potatoes 5,000,000 bushels. sth dn. Buckwheat 1,600,000 do. 3d do. Tobacco 9,500,000 lbs. 7th do. Rye 2,800,000 bushels. 4th do. The value of these large crops may be approxi. mated thus Wheat (late Indian Corn Hay Potatoca Buckwheat Rye Tobacco Over fifty millions of dollars was the value of these crops alone. This was about the total value of the cotton crop for 1848. Thus the agricultural crop of a single State (Ohio) is worth the whole cotton crop, of which so much is said, and so much boasted ! Besides these, the cheese exported from Ohio is worth a million of dollars—and the wool crop is worth two millions. Other articles of considerable value might be enumerated.—Bicknell. Q3' The imports of Corn at Boston, for the week ending October 28th, were 60,995 bushels and 13,711 sacks. During the same period 23,750 bbls. of Flour were also received there.
