-Ilion. B. ChamPneys , Address.
The Address on the life, character and public
services of the late President Porar., delivered at
Marietta, on the 17th ult., by the Hon. BENJAMIN
CHAMPNEYS, of ,this city, will be found on the Ist
and 4th pages of our paper. It is an eloquent pro
duction, and reflects great credit on its talented
author, who has presented in a clear and forcible
manner the distinguished services and exalted char
acter of the illustrious statesman who did so much
for his country whileliVing, and whose premature
death is yet mourned by millions of his countrymen.
We invite for the Address a careful and attentive
perusal.
/13 — We are indebted to the Hon. H. S. FOOTE, of
the U. S. Senate,for a pamphlet copy of his eloquent
eulogy upon the life and character of the late Pres-
ident POLK, delivered at Washington City on the
oth of July last.
Congress.
As yesterday was the constitutional period for
the meeting of Congress, we presume a quorum
was present in both branches. If so, and no delay
occurred in the organization, the President's Message
would be sent in to-day,:
It will, in all probability, be a long and a stormy
session of the National Legislature, and its action
upon the important subjects which agitate the pub
lie mind, will tell for weal or for woe upon the
future destiny of our country. W 6 shall endeavor
to keep our readers advised of every thing import
ant that transpires.
Nominations at Washington.
[By Telegraph for the Pennsylvanian.]
, WASHINGTON, Dec. I—P. M.
The Democratic Members of the House of Rep
resentatives met in caucus this evening, Hon. JAs.
B. BoivErN, of Missouri, in the chair.
The following named gentlemen were nominated,
to be balloted for on the organization of the House:
For Speaker—Howraa. COBB, of Georgia.
Clerk—Jouß W. Foam E r ., of Pennsylvania.
Sergeant-at-Arms--NEwTom LANE, of Ky.
Doorkeeper—BENJAMlN F. BROWN, of Ohio.
Postmaster—J. MI JOHNSON, of Virginia.
Tlad Whig Members met in caucus, and after
nominating the Hon. ROBERT G. WINTHROP, of
Massachusetts, for Speaker, adjourned over to
Monday morning, to complete their nominations.
ET The Baltimore Republican predicts that
1-lENny CLAY will be the Whig candidate for the
Presidency in 1552! We think it not at all un
likely, judging from recent demonstrations in Phil
adelphia, New York, Baltimore and elsewhere.—
The sensible portion of the Whig party are evidently
sick and tired of the blunders of this blundering
Administration, and would prefer having a man at
the head of the Government who, with all his
faults, is unquestionably a statesman.
Truth Well Expressed.
We find the subjoined short, but pithy and truthful
article in the last Examiner 4- Herald, and are glad
to perceive that even our whig neighbor is begin
ning to have his eyes opened to the enormities com
mitted by his parry friends when they happen to
get into power—and that he, as an honest man, is
disposed to tell the - truth about them. We were
agreeably surprised at the fearlessness and indepen
dence of the article, and hope that it may have a '
salutary effect upon the honest portion of the whig
party who are readers of the Examiner. There are
doubtless hundreds, aye thousands of his party,
friends in this county, who think with the Editor
and who are fully convinced that their leaders
never get into power but to abuse it, and that the
history of whig rule whether in City, State or
Nation, is a history of "extravagance," corruption,
and a " reckless squandering of the " people's
'money." But, so it is, and we are sincerely rejoiced
to find that these truths are told with so much point
and effect as they are in a few words by the Ex
aminer. Here is the article, verbatim et literatim,
et punctuatim, as we find it published editorially in
that paper of Wednesday last
Ba" The Whig Municipal authorities of New
York have increased the,salaries of the officers
created by their appointment to a very high rate.
From May, 1847, to November, 1849, the increase
of salaries, and the salaries of the new officers cre
ated, amounts to $33,598. Thus it ever is with
Whiggery when they get into power. Extrava
gance and increase of offices are the natural con
comitants of Whig success. They waste the peo
ple's money with a profusion amounting to culpa
ble recklessness.
The Deficit.
The Whig journals have been talking about a
deficit of fifteen or twenty millions in the Treasury,
growing out, as they would fain make it appear, of
expenses connected with the Mexican War. The
New York Journalof Commerce doeent believe a
word of it, and says:,—
4. Less than five months of the two years during
which this alarming deficit is to occur, have yet
elapsed; so that in the main, the announcement of
a deficit of 15 to 20 millions in the two years, is
little else than a prediction by the enemies of the
present tariff The same men predicted, when the
same tariff passed into a law, that the revenue
would fall far below that of the tariff of 1842.
The result proved them false prophets then; we
trust it will do so now."
Now, this is a pretty beginning, says the Boston
Post. This Whig administration, which came into
power with so many lies in its mouth, will come
before the first Congress chosen since the cheat that
elected Gen. Taylor, with a debt of fifteen or twenty
millions, it is estimated, and with a list of some
ten thousand proscriptions of good men turned dut
of office because they did not vote for the second
Washington. And they will have to lay their sins
before a - Congress,- both branches of which will
have a majority fi'inst the Administration. The
annals• of party never exhibited so miserable a
failure and imposture as the administration of
Zachary Taylor.

addressed a letter to Gen. Carl, inviting him to
partake of a festival, which they designed giving
in honor of his many services to the country and
party. The letter, says the Pennsylvanian; is
couched'in those warm and hospitable terms for
which the New Yorkers have ever been distin
guished; and proves that their devotion to this
great and good man, is as ardent now, as it was
when they were struggling to crown him with the
highest honor of the nation. The reply of Gen.
CASE, which will be found below, is dignified ani
courteous ; every line breathing with the compre
hensive principles of republican Democracy. We
commend the letter to our readers:
NEW Yoax, Nov. 26, 1849
Gentlemen :—I thank you for the honor you have
conferred upon me, by the offer of a public dinner;
and while I decline the invitation, which I trust you
will excuse me for doing, I cannot withhold the
expression of my feelings for such a testimonial of
regard from the Democracy of this great city. I
shall cherish it with grateful recollection during
life.
I thank you, also, for the favorable terms in which
you have been pleased to allude to my position and
services. These, lam very sensible, have few .
claims to consideration, but such as are derived
from your kind' partiality. An emigrant to the
West, in early youth, the better portion of my life
has been passed in that great' contest with nature,
in which the forest.has given way, and an Empire
has arisen, already, among the most magnificent
creations of human industry and enterprise. Placed
in a geographical position to exert a powerful in
fluence upon the duration of this confederacy of
Republics; attached to the Union and the whole
Union; and attached equally to the principles of
freedom, and to the constitution by which these are
guarded and secured, should the time ever come—
as I trust it will not—and come whence and why
it may—when dissolution shall find advocates, and
the hand of violence sh r ill attempt to sever the bond
that holds us together, the West will rise up as one
man, to stay a deed so fatal to the cause of liberty
here and throughout the world—aye, and it will be
stayed. Success can never hallow the effort. If
we are not struck by judicial blindness, we shall
hold on to the Constitution with a tenacity defying
time and accident, thanking the God of our fathers,
and our own God, for political institutions which
have secured to us a greater measure of national
prosperity than it has ever been the lot of any peo
ple before us'to enjoy.
We have but one danger to fear. As to military
power, and the general corruption of manners and
morals--causes to which history attributes the fall
of many republics in ancient and in modern days—
I believe, if they are not the last, they are among
the last of the evils we have to apprehend. Our
future would be all the patriot could desire, if that
future contained no other seeds of danger than these.
The prophetic sagacity of Washington foresaw and
foretold the true danger which threatens us; the
danger of sectional interests and passions arraying
one portion of the Union against the other. A
spirit of compromise was necessary to create this
confederation; and it is equally necessary to pre
serve it in its integrity and efficiency. When qnes
lions come deeply affecting the country, and divid
ino.' it by geographical lines, then comes the time
of trial, which no true American can contemplate
without anxiety. It is seldom that such issues can
be presented, when mutual forbearance is not dicta
ted alike by duty and by wisdom. It one half of a
great country, abandoning all other differences of
opinion, is unanimous in its sentiments upon any
measure of internal policy, locally affecting itself,
its citizens should meet from their countrymen of
the other section kindness, and not denunciation;
' argument, and not recrimination; and a desire to
reconcile conflicting opinions as harmoniously as is
compatible with the nature of the controversy. No
such views respecting their rights or their position
can be so held by an extensive community, without
the existence of forcible considerations, which call
for careful enquiry, and for a wise as well as a kind
decision. In this spirit should sectional questions
, be discussed, and it they are so, they will bring with
them no danger; but will furnish additional motives
for union, and will contribute powerfully to our
strength and prosperity.
I am, gentlemen, with great regard, your obedient
servant, LEWIS CASS.
Thomas Ewing.
The Democratic press has handled with just
severity this master spirit of the Taylor Regency.—
the butcher who presides over that fungus on our
system, the Home Department. But they have not
overshot the mark, as is evident from the subjoined
remarks of a prominent Whig leader in the Illinois
Legislature,Tsacn F. LINDER, Esq. This gentle
man was on the Taylor electoral ticket last fall,
and employed all his eloquence to induce Illinois to
cast her vote for Taylor and Filmore, Like thou
sands of honest Whigs, however, throughoui the
country, he has already become disgusted with the
blundering and butchery practised by the Cabinet,
and is not afraid to speak out his sentiments boldly
and fearlessly. A few days since, in discussing
some question before the Legislature, be took occa
sion to " travel out of the record" in order to give a
broadside to Ewing, which merits the attention of
the pure men of all parties. We learn from the
Springfield Register, that the remarks were received
with tremendous applause—all present, Whigs, as
as well democrats participating—nor was a solitary
voice raised in defence,of the Administration. But
here are the remarks:
He was opposed to the introduction of national
matters into the discussions upon State matters in
the house, but as others had digressed from the
legitimate subject of legislation, he was very much
pleased to have an opportunity to speak of some
matters and some individuals connected with the
administration of our national government; and in
doing so he should speak, not as a disappointed
politician, but as an independent working Whig.
who had never applied for an office in his life ; 'and
the individual of whom he desired to speak, was the
Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, minister of the Home
Department. A man who was unsuited to wield
the immense patronage placed in his hands, from
the fact that he was hostile to all that was popular,
having no sympathies with the people, and the
people no sympathies with him ; the man who dis
posed of the offices and honors at his disposal more
like a prince, than the minister and servant of a
republican people. I speak plainly, sir, for I want
what I say to be published, that it may reach the
individual for whom it is intended. The man who
could disregard the almost universal wish of the
people—the Whig people of Illinois, and overlook
the claims of such men as Lincoln, Edwards and
Morrison, and appoint a man, known as an anti-war
federalist of 1512, and one who avails himself of
every opportunity to express his contempt of the
people; a man who could not, as against any one
of his competitors, have obtained one twentieth of
the vote of Illinois. I refer, sir, to Justin Butter
field, Commissioner of the General Land Office.—
Such a man as Ewing has no right to rule the
Cabinet of a Republican President. HE IS UNI
VERSALLY ODIOUS, AND STINKS IN THE
NOSTRILS OF THE NATION. He is a lump 21
ice, an unfeeling, unsympatlaising aristocrat, a rougif,
imperious, uncouth and unamiable man. Such a
minister, in a four year's administration, would ruin
forty Presidents and as many heroes. Sir, is it won
derful that the popular elections are turning against us?
lam not at all surprised at it. If General Taylor
retains him two years longer in his Cabinet, he will
find himself without a corporal's guard in the pop
ular branch of our national legislature."
lion. Robert J. Walker.
A story has been going the rounds of the Federal
press, that this gentleman had recently changed his
views somewhat on the subject of a tariff, and that
he was now in favor of protection to certain inter
ests. We did not believe a word of it at the time;.
and the editor of the Delaware Gazette, who recently
had a conversation with Mr. W., authoritatively
denies that there has been any change whatever in
his sentiments, but that he still adheres to the tariff
of 1846 in all its details. Thus has this Whig fab
rication been put to rest. When will the Whig
press learn to speak the truth?

County School Meeting.
Agreeably to a call of the County Committee, a
meeting of the friends of Common Schools was
held at the Court House in this city, on Wednesday
the 21st ult. On motion, Hon. JACOB GROSH
Was called tcrthe Chair; Arrnnsw Duarr.ap, Esq.,
and H. Y. SLAY-Massa acted as Vice Presidents, and
J. L. Hunsecker and M. D. Holbrook, as Seceys.
T. H. 'Boanowas, Esq, stated the object of the
meeting in some well timed remarks, and offered
the following resolutions which were unanimcusly
adopted :
Resolved, That in the opinion cd - this meeting, the
common school system has thus far, though subject
to so many unfavorable circumstances, .produced
results, wherever fairly tested, abundantly sufficient
to sustain the confidence and hopes of its friends.
Resolved, That the period has now arrived when
nothing but renewed and vigorous effort is needed,
to render it the great agent for the intellectual cul
ture and the moral improvement of the rising gen
eration, seconded only in its mighty, benign and
elevating influences, to those of the true and pure
spirit of Christianity.
Resolved, That the chief obstacles in the way of
the common school system ot instruction seem to
be the want of interest in its support and success ;
manifested by many parents; the inefficient perfor
mances of their duties by many Directors; an in
sufficient supply of well qualified and zealous
teachers; and the shortness of the period in each
year during which the schools are open for instruc
tion in many Districts.
Resolved, That we approve of the design to hold
a State Convention of the friends of Common Schools
at Harrisburg; on the 16th of next January, to con.
suit as to the best mode of remedying the existing
defects in the working of the system ; to devise and
suggest to the Legislature whatever improvements
it might yet require; and to appoint delegates to
represent Pennsylvania in the Common School
National Convention which is to assemble in Phil
adelphia on the fourth Wednesday in August 1850.
Resolved, That six delegates be now appointed to
represent this county in the State Convention ; and
that six other citizens be also appointed to act as
substitutes should all or any of those delegates not
attend.
Resolved, That, as a means of improving the mode
of instruction in the schools, increasing the -useful
ness of the teachers, and harmonizing their efforts
and elevating their standing in society, the Common
School Teachers of county and city are requested
and urged to form a county association of Teachers
for mutual improvement.
Resolved, That we believe the happiest results
would flow from such an association, and that the
favorable feeling of the people of the city of Lan
caster towards the common school system, and
their known hospitality, would lead them to make
such arrangement for the accommodation of the
association during its session, that the expense to
the members from a distance would be very trifling.
Resolved, That Messrs. G. M. Kline, A. H. Hood,
Peter McConomy, Rev. N. Dodge, W. L. R. Kes
traw, John Martin and Joseph Kc.nigmacher be
continued as the County Committee of the friends
of Common Schools for the ensuing year.
The following persons were chosen to represent
this county in the State Convention:—Thomas H.
Burrowes, Esq., G. M. Steinman, city ; A. S. Green,
Columbia; Andrew Dunlap, Esq., Lancaster twp. ;
I. L. Hunsecker, Manheim ; J. B. Bower, Esq.,
Strasburg; .dlternates, Andrew Wade, Esq., Eliza
bethtown; Rev. N. Dodge, Mt. Joy; A. S. Ewing,
Drumore ; David Groff, Leacock ; John M. White
hill, Donegal; H. Y. Slaymaker, Salisbury.
'On motion, the proceedings of this meeting were
ordered to be published in all the papers of the
county.
Mrs. Levin.
This lady, the wife of the Hon. Lewis C. Levin,
the lone star of Nativism in the House of Repre
sentatives, at 'Washington, having been elected last
fall a year ago. by the Whigs and Natives of Phil
ictphia, has, it seems, been engaged in violating
the laws of Maryland, by committing an assault
and battery upon a Mr. Fite, a dealer in "leather
and prunello." As there is a little romance in the
a6air, we copy the source of our information. It
is an extract from a letter of the Baltimore cor
respondent of the "Union:"
The trial of Mrs. Levin, wife of the Hon. Lewis
C. Levin, on the charge of assaulting Mr. Henry
Fite, was brought to a close last evening, and sub
mitted to the court for decision, which was expec
ted this morning, but has not yet been made public.
The facts of the case according to the testimony,
are briefly as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Levin have been residing for a
year past at their country seat, a few miles from
the city, having their children instructed by private
tutors. The uncle of Mr. Henry Fite resided in
the neighborhood, and in the course of the last
summer, be became acquainted with Miss Tomisan
Gist, the daughter of Mrs. Levin by her first mar
riage—a lady who is said to have a fortune of
$130,000 in her own right. A few weeks before
the assault, Miss Gist stopped at the residence of
Mr. Fite whilst riding to the city, and asked the
servant to hand her a bunch of flowers. She ob
tained a copy of Flora's Dictionary, and after she
reached home found between the pages a number
of love sonnets and lackadaisical sentences, written
on a piece of paper, signed " Your lover, Henry,'
which were proved on the trial to have been writ
ten by a mischievous boy, and put in the book,
unknown to Mr. Fite. The discovery of this paper,
with certain rumors that were afloat of Mr. Fite
having declared that he intended to marry Miss
Gist, and take her money to pay his debts, &c.,,
which he denies, gave great offence to Mr. Levin's
family. It was about this time that Mr. Fite pas
sed the carriage of Mrs. Levin on the road, in his
buggy; and ying looked into her carriage, as
she considered, in an impertinent manner, she
ordered the footman to seize him and whip him:
The servant going rather slow about it, she jumped
out, seized the whip, and struck him three blows,
at the same time ordering her servant to chastise
him, when he put whip to his horse and escaped
from them.
The Jury decided that the lady was guilty of an
un-ladylike act, for which the Court sentenced her
to pay a fine of $lO and the costs of prosecution.
Canal Commissioner.
Mn. Emixonl:-1. would respectfully solicit,
through the coliimns of your useful Democratic I
journal, to recommend to the favorable considera
tion of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, the
name of that staunch, unflinching Democrat, HENRI
IMHOFF, of Landaster county, for the important
office of Canal Commissioner. We are perfeCtly
aware of the fact that many good men, and true men,
will be brought forth from their hiding places, and
be highly and strongly recommended to the next
Democratic convention for that important office.
And as we are brought to believe that Lancaster
county is entitled to the next Clnal Commissioner,
we do, therefore, most respectfully introduce the
name of HENRY Imnorr, who is a most excellent
man, a sound and reliable Democrat, an upright
citizen, and an honest man, and who° would bail a
tower of strength even in the whig county of Lan
caster. And we know of no man who is more
deserving, or who would be likely to command a
larger Democratic vote within the borders of our
county. His a'cknovvledged business talents and
integrity are a sure guarantee, that in his hands the
financial departMent of the government, would be
managed in such a way as to promote the best
interests of the Commonwealth.

trine a Dramatic Scene.
The able editor of the Nashville Union, says the
Pennsykanian, gives an account of a scene that ,
took place in the Tennessee Senate, which, for the
honor of, our Country, we could wish had never
been enacted. It occurred in the discussion and
decision upon a Resoldion to print 2500 copies of
the masterly eulogy of Mr. Nicnorsoy upon the
Life and Character of Ex-President Polar. The
same resolution had previously passed the House.
Its fate in the Whig Senate is thus described by
the Union
"Early on Monday morning, Mr. Kimble, the
Senator from Montgomery, obtained the floor and
held it until after the usual hour oradjournment.
Among the various subjects which he attempted to
discuss, was the Tariff. For about an hour and a
half, he labored under the strange hallucination of
believing that he was throwing floods of light upon
this complicated subject. He told, in piteous tones,
the doleful story of the necessity of protection to
American industry, and could not endorse the
eulogy for one reason, because it boasted that Mr.
Polk had been the chief instrument in giving a
dangerous and perhaps fatal blow to his darling
protective system. He undertook to prove that
Mr. Polk had been inconsistent upon the tariff; and
talked about the Kane letter. He supposed that to
order the printing of a few copies of the eulogy
would be a desertion of the principles, and in
thundering accents he asked: " Where is the das
tardly coward who would betray his principles?'
Mr. Polk was so anxious for the establishment of
the tariff of '4O, that he either attempted to bribe
Or did bribe Mr. Dallas with $83,000 to secure his
vote for the bill. His speech was interspersed,
and his declamation enlivened with many choice
bits of political history of a similar character.—
, Now for the sequel.
"Early in the afternoon„ Mr. Gardenshire sent up
to the Clerk's table a file of the Nashville Union
for 1843, and called for the reading of a letter
written by Mr. H. S. Kimble, in that year, to the
Clarksville Jeffersonian. The effect upon the poor
detected one, was awful. The letter contained the
renunciation of all the political heresies of the
Whig party. It denounces Whigs for their incon
sistency upon the Tariff question, and condemns in
unmeasured terms the doctrine of protection. He
could not act with the Whig party, because they
had adopted this iniquitous principle. The doc
trines of distribution, the modification of the veto
power, and the• bankrupt law, were all repudiated.
When the Clerk had concluded the reading, the
victim, in his anxiety to break the force of his fall,
begged leave to explain, which was granted.
"The explanation, however, amounted tonothing,
and Mr. Gardenshire rose to reply. The victim
knowing perhaps, what was coming, seized his hat,
and fled, like a guilty thing, from the Senate chain
'ber. For more than an hour. did the eloquent
defender of the dead, pour out the torrents of his
indignation upon the head of his victim, as he
would read from the letter the different Whig prin
ciples renounced, he would put with his stirring
energy, Mr. Kimble's own interrogatory—" where
is the dastardly coward who would abandon his
principles." And after he had finished the letter,
he pointed to the vacant seat of the annihilated
Senator, and exclaimed, " thou art the man." The
charge of bribery he pronounced utterly false.
" We cannot speak in too exalted terms of the
firm, dignified, and indignant manner in which
these foul charges—one and all—were hurled back
into the teeth of their authors by the Democratic
Senators."
The resolution was rejected by a strict party
vote—yeas 11, nays 14. Truly does Whig malig
nity extend even beyond the grave.
The N. Orleans Crescent, a neutral paper, rather
Taylorish in its tendencies, remarks of this outrage
upon the honor of Tennessee, and the Union, as
follows:
" Every right-minded man, removed from the
scene of this party discussion, must perceive the
impropriety, not to say the impolicy, of the course
pursued by the Whig members of the Tennessee
Senate. Indeed the Memphis Eagle, a firm and
decided Whig paper, but remarkable for the general
tone of fairness and candor which pervades it,
strongly censures the Whig Senators for their con
duct. No Whig, however decided may be his party
convictions, will, if possessed of ordinary generosity
and common feeling, approve the vote which the
heated partisans of the Tennessee Senate have un.
fortunately recorded. Nay, such a vote as this,
demands the reprobation of the Whig party, far
more than of the Democratic. As men, all must
be shocked by the indignity offered to the memory
of the late President; but the Whigs have a right
to complain that the Whig Senators have injured
the Whig cause, and permitting passion to usurp
the place of reason, have taken a part calculated to
throw odium upon the opinions they advocate.
And this opposition of Whig Senators has only, ,
as was naturally to be expected, aroused the enthu
siasm of their political opponents; and now the I
Democrats of the Legislature, and of Nashville, have
determined to print thirty-thousand copies of Mr.
Nicholson's Eulogy. This is not all. The eulogy
is not to go forth alone. It is to be prefaced with
the speeches of Messrs. Zollicoffer and Tipton, the ,
Itwo Whig Senators who most warmly opposed the
printing, and the speeches of the Democratic Sena-'
tors are to be given also. See, then, to what a
condition the Whig Senators are reduced by the
display of an unreasonable party passion. Their
1 speeches are to be circulated by their political op
ponents. The very words which they uttered in
depreciating the fame and services of Mr. Polk, are
to be used for extending the influence of Mr. Polk's
principles and measures.
"As citizens of this great republic, we are thrilled
with indignation at the attempt to degrade the illus
trious name of James K. Polk. No matter what
his party opinions were, he has done great and nota•
ble things for these United States. Under his ad
ministration, was carried on the most successful
and brilliant war in which the, country was ever
engaged. The boundaries of the republic were
enlarged, and a region was annexed to our former
territories, rivaling in richness the Peru of the Incas
and the Mexico of the Montezumas. Is it fitting
that Americans should be ready to detract from
the merits of such a citizen? Especially is such
conduct pardonable in the citizens of a State whose
interests he has so often advocated ; whose name
he has so highly illustrated, and in whose bosom
repose his mortal remains? The cheek of every
Tennessean should burn; the wrath of every Tenn
esseean should be aroused, when he hears of the
treatment his great fellow-citizen has received at
the hands of the Tennessee Senators."
For the Intelligence,
Documents Touching Slavery.
A letter is published from Hon. H. S. Foote, one
of the Democratic Senators from Mississippi, to
Hon. T. G. "Clingman, a Whig member of the
House from North Carolina, interrogating him as
to the course the North Carolina delegation intend
to pursue in Congress, relative to the Wilmot
Proviso. Mississippi, Mr. F. says, has made up
her mind, Whigs and democrats alike, that there
shall be no encroachment on Southern rights. Mr.
Clingman, in his reply, says the union of both
parties in Mississippi is a type of what will occur
elsewhere. The Southern States have but one
feeling on this question, as they can have but one
destiny. He has no doubt " that over the entire
South there would be a vastly greater unanimity
than existed in the old thirteen slave States when
they decided to resist British aggression, and if
individuals should attempt a different course they
would be swept away in the general current.—
Long before the struggle should come to the worst
the South would present an unbroken front." Mr.
Clingman adds, that having submitted Senator
Foote'sletter to his colleague, Senator Mangum, also
a Whig, that gentleman concurs fully in all its gen
eral conclusions, and avows his purpose to make
known his views at length at an early day. Mr.
Mangum entertains the opinion "that the federal
government has no power to legislate on the subject
of slavery either in the States or in the Territories,
and that all precedents, whether legislative or judi
cial, because adopted without due consideration,
are not obligatory." •
The New York Mirror, a Taylor Whig paper,
thus rebukes the Whig boast that New York is a
Whig State :
"There are some sober facts developed in this
election well calculated to moderate our :joy, and
make us thoughtful of the future, even in the hour
of triumph."
"Since the preirious election, that eternal wave
of Democracy which is ever surging higher and
higher, has gained .on us greatly; and, had the
coalition' been complete, the Whigs must have been
overwhelmed in the late contest. The enemy's
centre' was broken before the battle began, and
his 'wings' were weakened by•divided councils.—
Whenever the Democracy of the Empire State
presents an unbroken front, the Whigs may say to
them, as the coon said to Capt. Scott: ' it's no use
to fire, we'll come down."

The Tariff.
As the session of Congress approaches, this ex
isting topic begins to be more warmly discussed,
and the' design of the present Federal Administra
tion is already boldly announced to alter the Tariff
of 1846. Notwithstanding Mr. Polk left the coun
try in so prosperous a state, manufactures being
So amply protected, that all those who had the
capital have been able to make handsome fortunes,
and the revenue being much larger that; under the
former high rate of duties, this party, whose cry is
ever change, and whose principle is to enrich the
few at the expense of the many, again cry out for
"change! change!!" It is well that the merchants,
mechanics and farmers should clearly understand
this subject of a tariff. It is necessary in , order
that the expenses of our National Goyernment
should be met, that a tax should be laid in some
way to create a revenue. It has, been found that
the indirect tax which is paid upon articles impor
ted from foreign countries is the one most easily
collected and least sensibly felt. This tax which
is paid by the importing merchant in the first in
stance, is eventually paid by the person who uses
the article, as the merchant charges this duty as •
well as his profit hi the increase of the importation
price. Thus it will be seen that the higher this
duty or tax is, the higher will be the price of- the
article. It has been thought well, in order to en
courage certain branches of domestic manufacture,
that thus tax should be so laid that the price of the
foreign article would be raised by it in the market
so high that the domestic manufacturer can com
pete fairly with the foreign. This moderate rate
Of duties is that adopted in the tariff or tax of 18:16;
and it is now proposed to raise these taxes so high
'that foreign articles cannot be imported, and the
domestic manufacturers may have the monopoly
of the trade. Let the people fairly understand this
question, and we are satisfied that the farmers and
mechanics at least will no longer be humbugged
by the cry of " Protection to American Industry,"
and the "Tariff of 1842," which was a tax of high
duties. Should that be re-enacted, we shall again
have a deficiency in i the revenue to me - the ex- 1
penses of government ; high prices for all goods
consumed by the farmers, while he is shut out from
the foreign market for his produce, and his reward
for toil will not be repaid. A Pennsylvania man.
ufacturer in a late communication to the Washing
mil Union, says that the Tariff of 1846 works well,
and that all manufacturers who are established
upon a basis of real instead of fictitious capital, are
prospering and being well rewarded' for their en
terprize. He says the reason of difficulty is that
a high tariff encourages the establishment here of
too many, manufactories, and as the supply from
this cause exceeds the demand, some of them must'
fall.—Doylestown Democrat.
We conclude with a most sensible view of this
subject from the Philadelphia Ledger, a paper most
ably conducted, and which is remarkable for the
common sense views it takes. We commend it to
the attention of our readers:
tr in almost every resolution passed by the Con
vention of Nfanufacturers, held at Trenton last
week, for the purpose of urging upon the attention
of CongreSs, through higher duties, more protec
tion of domestic manufactures, we find an assurance
of how much. better off the farmers are under a
system of high duties than when allowed the free
dom of the market of the world. Considering that
the Convention was composed exclusively of man•
ufacturers, the farmers, merchants and mechanics
not having been honored by even mention in the
call, this declaration by .the Convention is modest,
to say the least. The patronizing manner in which
the manufacturers propose to quietly insinuate
their fingers into the pockets of those employed in
agricultural pursuits, patting them the:whileencour
agingly on the back, with the assurance how advan
tageous it is for their interest, might be taken as a
good joke, bat for the more serious consequences
that may grow from permittingit to pass unrebuked.
The farming interest of the Union is awake to this
matter of markets, and understand the effects of
protection and prohibition under their own pursuits
quite as well as the manufacturers can tell them,
and will, we have no doubt, take care to be fully
heard in Congress. Some idea of the character
and value of the Lake trade, which is only one of
the agricultural outlets to the market of the world,
may be formed from a paragraph in the Buffalo
Commercial of November 6th, which states that,
on the evening previous, 15 steamers, 2 propellers,
2 brigs and 21 schoouers,had arrived in that port,
bringing 160,000 barrels of flour, 49,000 bushels
of wheat, 800 live hogs, 2500 boxes of cheese, and
large quantities bf other produce. This is some
thing for one day. It in also noticed that the pro
peller Illinois, at the same time, was on her way
down, with 4,445 barrels of flour and 2,114 bushels
of wheat, equal to 580 tons of merchandize ; and
the steamer Empire State was on her way down
with 7000 barrels of flour, said to be the largest
cargo ever brought by one vessel. So large an
interest as is indicated by these movements, it is
not probable will be trusted to the guardian pro:
tectorship of the manufacturers of New Jersey.
Lieut. Randolph.
Various speculations are now going the rounds
in the newspapers, says the Baltimore ..drgus, rela
tive to the application of the individual whose
name heads this article, for reinstatement as a Lieut.
in the Navy. It will be remembered that he was
discharged from the public service during the early
part of Gen. Jackson's administration as Acting
Purser, for having defrauded his predecessor and
robbed his widow of her inheritance. Sometime
alter his degradation, in 1833, he went on board a
steamboat, which had stopped for a short time at
Alexandria, on which Gen. Jackson was a passenger,
and in the most sneaking manner pulled the old
hero's nose, after which he made a most hurried
escape. After having remained from that time to
the present, in degraded obscurity, he has come be.
fore the world, and backed by Henry Clay and
other leaders of the Whig party, demanded his res
toration to office. It is said that Gen. Taylor and
the Secretary of the Navy have given the matter a
serious investigation, and have asked the opinion
of Hon. Reverdy Johnson, by whose decision they
will be guided. If this person is re-instated it will
be the crowning act of the poltical infamy of the
present administration. It will be a weight about
its neck, that will pink it down, down, down, to
rise no more. Its enemies could not desire to see
At guilty of a more damning act. Here we see a
man who when discharged from office for betraying
his trust, guilty of the grossest insult that could be
offered to the President of the United States, apply
ing for re-instatement and having his application
seriously considered, and perhaps granted, by an
administration, which its organs tell us, was put
into power for the express purpose of bringing the
government back to its original purity, and which
would put no one in office who was not honest,
faithful, and capable. This application is backed
too by men who rank high in the annals of Whig-
gery. Let this disgrace be done to the memory of
Jackson, let this insult be offered to the great masses
of our country, and such an outburst of popular
indignation will go forth as to dash away even the
fair laurels gained by Zachary Taylor on the bat
tle fields of Mexico.

since the French condemnation of Haynau and his
attrocities, no less than fifteen additional executions
are daily threatened at Arad.
The valedictory address of Kossuth to his coun
trymen, written at Casopa, has been published, and
is said to he an enthusiastic and poetical document.
Speaking of General Georgey, he says—" The in
grate whom thou hest fattened with thy abundance
arose against thee, a traitor to his mother, and de
stroyed thee utterly. Thou bast been betrayed—
thou hest been sold—O, my country! thy death
sentence hath been written, beloved of my heart !
by him whose virtue, whose love I never dared to
doubt. Yes, in the fervor of, my boldest thoughts.
I should almost as soon have doubted the existence
of the Omnipresence as have believed that he would
ever have proved a traitor to his country. Thou
hest been betrayed by him in whose bands I had,
but a little time before, deposited the power of our
great country, which he swore to defend, even to
the last and inmost drop of his heart's blood. He
bath done treason to his heart's blood. He hath
done treason to his mother; and the glitter of gold
bath been for him more seductive than that of the
warm life's blood shed to save his country. Base
gain has more value in his eyes than his country,
and God hath abandoned him as he hath abandoned
his God for his Allies in Hell. Magyars! Beloved
Companions! blame me not for having cast mine
eyes on this man, and for having given to him my
place. It was necessary, for the people had be-
stowed upon him their confidence. The army loved
him, and he obtained a power of which I mysell
would have been proud. Nevertheless, this man
belied the confidence of the nation, and hath repaid
the love of the army with hatred and treachery.—
Curse him, 0 ye Magyars—curse the breast that
did not dry up before it gave him milk:'
General Haynall is carrying on his unrelenting

ROME.—We have but little additional intelli

MOROCCO.—The dispute between the Emperor
of Morocco and the French seems to increase in
violence. The French Consul at Mogadore has
been treated harshly and ignominiously, and a French
frigate has been sent to his relief. There is every
probability of the affair ending in the bombardment
of Tangiers.

LANCASTER AHEAD OF READING—NO MISTAKE.
—We always thought our city was ahead of Read
ing ; we are now sure that such is the fact. We
learn from the Gazette, that the good people of that
Village can afford but two watchmen, and they only
"apologies," who are paid "at private expense"—
whilst here, our City Fathers, who are ever alive
to the "peace and safety" of their fellow-citizens,
have a round dozen employed at the public expense,
and they, too, the right kind of watchmen, whose
stentorian voices give hourly notice through the
night that they do not imitate their Reading brethren
by "dozing in bar rooms and oyster cellars." We
know of nothing more pleasant than before Slumber
ha; closed our weary eyelids, to listen to their
manly tones calling the hours. 'Tie music indeed !
But in all other respects, as well as this, Lancaster
is going ahead, moving on the rapid wings of im
provement, and we should not wonder, if some one
of these days she should go rolling down 'tether
side of the globe. D'ye give it up, friend GETZ

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. — On Wednesday

Columbia Railroad, a short distance from
It appears that he was walking on the track towards
this city when the noon train approached him. To
avoid it he stepped aside on the other track, where
a burthen train, coming rapidly in an opposite di
rection, struck him and threw him under the wheels.
The whole train passed over him, completely sev
ering his head from his body, and otherwise mang
ling him. The unfortunate man, we understand,
was hard of hearing, which was the cause of the
accident. He resided at Dillerville.
igr A meeting of citizens was held in the Court
House, on Wednesday evening last for the purpose
of taking into consideration the feasibility of having
the Depot of the Central Railroad located within the
city limits. A committee was appointed to make
suitable enquiries and report to an:adjourned meet
ing.
An adjourned meeting was held on Saturday
evening, when the committee reported, that it was
inexpedient for the city to make any further pro
position to theßailroad Company. This resolution
was unanimously adopted—and thus ends the mat
ter for the present.

DEATHS.
On Thursday morning, 29th ult., at his residence
in this city, CHRISTIAN linens( (N . , Esq., late Cashier
of the Lancaster Bank, in the 54th year of his age.
We subjoin the following obituary notice of the
deceased from the Pennsylvanian of Saturday:
Few men were more extensively known in the
county of Lancaster, and° in the State, than the
deceased; and none who knew him, could fail to
appreciate his intelligence, integrity, and the various
excellencies of character, which rendered him so
universally' esteemed, by all who had intercourse
with him. He held the office of Prothonotary of
the county for six years; and with the general
approval of his fellow-citizens. ,His energy and
admirable management of the duties of his station,
as Cashier of the Lancaster Bank, for 14 years, is
the subject of general commendation.: His unvasi.d
courtesy, quickness of perception and admirable
business qualifications, were combined with strict
integrity of purpose; and in all the varied transac
tions of his busy life, his conduct was so invariably
marked by frankness; sincerity, and devotion to
duty, that it'is not trespissing beyond the bounds
of truth to say, he has taken his departure from the
turmoils and cares of the world, almost without an
enemy; and with the general regret of his fellow
citizens, for the . loss of one, whose public spirit,
and official and private character, rendered him so
invaluable to the community.
In his brief and severe illness, ho expressed his
confidence in the faith and promises of the Chris
tian religion ; and was calm, and resigned to a dis
pensation, which has cast such deep gloom of
affliction in the circle of his family and friends.
Dec. 1, '0 , 49. At a special meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Lancaster Bank, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted : •

in his official capacity, as Cashier for many years,
he assisted greatly in elevating it to its present pros
perous condition. .
Resolved, That while we greatly lament the loss
to society of so good and virtuous a man, we corn
template with pleasure his pure and unsullied char
acter, and his many tried virtues, the recollection
of which will serve as a beacon light in Pointing
out . to others the road which leads to honor and
peace.

with the bereaved family of the deceased, in the
great loss which they have sustained in the death
of so good a husband and parent, and tender to them
