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

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.

•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.

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.

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

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.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-A very serious
accident occurred on Thursday afternoon, on the
Columbia RailrLad, near Coatesville bridge. 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.

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.

ending October 28th, were 60,995 bushels and
13,711 sacks. During the same period 23,750 bbls.
