I am not much of a scribbler for news papers, but I have an itching now & then to appear anonymously before the pub lic, especially when bush fighting is the game. Some one, no matter who, no doubt a venerable democratic(!) whig, hasspun a yarn for the Argus ; it is this which brings hate use my unac customed pen. He first complains that we have uo principles ; who but a "'de mocratic (!) whig" helped muzzle Gen. ,Harrison and John Tyler, that they might not make any 4 , declaration of principles for the pUblic eye ?" Next .we are referred to , certain communica tions in the Argus written by a "Looker on in Venice" and the remarks of the Reporter in reply whim, as a proof of the insincerity of the deinocrats on the tariff. It is pretty current here that " Looker 'on in, Venice " and . a 66 de inocratic ! Whig" knows pretty 'well who formed certain resolutions in favor of John C. Calhoun, nulification and • free trade, and reported them to a 'meet ing in Feb. 1833, in this borough. It was said that the Calhoun resolutiond, and the doctrine of a " Looker on in Venice " on the tariff, are not very, eolk sietent a; nci it is a wonder how it hap pens that the inconsistency of others on the tariff is so apparent, and yet he does not see his ow -n\ position. Next, it is said John Tyler is,a traitor. tow happens it that John Tyler la a traitor? Would he have been, had not a " de mocratic ! whig," said witirother would-be-whigs„said to Mr. Tyler, sir, " say nothing=- about your 'principles, especially about a National Bank ;',' and when he was placed where he could no longer be muzzled by _a !committee, then be is - a traitor ; what an insult to the people was this plan to conceal from them the principles of Tip ,and Ty.— The next topic, - is that the democrats go only for spoils and plunder. This is excellent grace, since it is a matter o record that in the short month of, the democratic ! whig Harrison 'adminie: tration, more persons were turned out 'of office in some- departnaents, to make room for democratic ! whigs, thanwere turned out for the preceding twelve Years. Much of the burden of the com munication under -notice, is complaints , against' the democracy for deception and concealment. In answer to this, we beg leave to refer the writer to the much celebrated no principle, hard cider campaign ,of 1840. Where was his horror then fos...,duplicity and conceal ,. ment ? A. DEMOCRAT.

In answer to the numerous inquiries whether I am . a candidate for your suf frages for a seat in bongress, I have deemed not out of place, and for the satisfaction of my numerous friends, to reply to them--that my name is at their disposal. Perhaps since the organize tion of our government, at no period have die people in this country, and more es pecially in our good old Keystone, more iniportant interests at jeopardy than at the present time. Barely recovering from the shock of a prostrated currency, pro duced in part, by the corruptions and, grasping of an Overgrown money Monop oly, striving for political - mastery;' an empty Treesuri, - and the consequent loss of credit; the prostration of -trade and commerce. And now, at a time when just emerging from a state bf al most dabs, and entering into a system, Which, if adhered to, will lead to a heal thy state of .every branch of American interest. The Tariff of 1842 Is regene rating the whole country—under the op eration of that bill all trades, and partice larly the producing class, are Most admi;. rably foStered and protected frail Eng lish pauper labor and English monopoly. The English gcivernment is so peculiarly formed that almost every branch of her industry - , is controlled and under a perfect system of monopoly. The whole histo ry of our Tariff laws and their operation, presents a singular, but no less true or strange fact, viz t That whenever we* in crease the Tariff on any particulir item of American production, the,price of the foreign article is reduced in a correspon ding ratio ! Take for instance, the Ad ele of Iron. : It-is shown that previous to the passage of the tariff of 1842, when the article was ,duty free, the price was considerably above the minimum value compared with the prices since the ope ration of that law, which imposes a duty of $25 per ton. -Thus while we encou rage the production of the article at home; converting the ' surplus products of our farms and labor into an article of indis pensable va e, and at the same time throw millio 8 annually into our public treasury, which, under this protective prinCiple, comes out of the packets of the Foreign Manufacturer. . Those who look at ideal theories, and not particular ly familiar with the history of our reve nue laws, do not agree with me in this particular. But " facts are stubborn things," and "figures will not lie." I am a plain, practical man. and take things as I find them, and do not rely upon fine spun argument based upon false theory, -to disprove an established fact. - - I assert then, what can be authenticat ed, that in most articles of American pro duction, that a well adjusted system of tariff duties does not enhance the price upon the dolma:tic consumer, but falls generally on the Foreign producer. But sufficient articles of luxury, audits silks, satins, wines, brandy, gold lace, fine broad cipths; &c., can be taxed' for all purposes of revenue, and thus the bur den of government will Tall on the rich instead of the ikor: Pennsylvania, with , a:debt of 540,000,000, the interest of hid) has to be principally borne by the farmer, is too deeply interested upon this subject, to remain - silent and, Piro* am bitious politicians to make capital out of their misfortunes—the debt is upon us; it is too late to inquire into the cause that Itrought'it . upon us—the debt is made-: it is Menage upon farm in the •Corntilonweelth, and the interest must be paid punctually' every six. months. It, is then, the ,duty-of every wise-and patriotic citizen to aidtn a just and-equi table system which , willlighten the-bur den and - lead tea anal liquidationpf the debt. - If thb present tariff is, permitted . to continue in operation, it will , produce . revenue - nufficient _tor' the support of government; leaving . the public' dpinain as - ;reqommended by .that saia and hero Andrew Jaoltson - , _andbi repeated ,de.' mocratic Legislatures to be distributed among the several states for the put , pose of creating a fund to pay the state debts. By adopting a system of re sources thus alluded to, Pennsylvania would soon be relieved of a burdensome debt, which, from present appearances, will remain for ages like an incubus up on the life bluod and energies of the people, and ive would soon see our mountains covered with manufacturing .establishments, and the farmer with merry faces, in the fell tide of success ful prosperity. But fellow-citizens, I regret -to say that a combination of free trade demagogues and monopolists does exist, to put down the Tariff of 1842. Be then preparea and on your gdard= hSppily it is, that with the people eme nates all power, and it is for them to as sume the prerogative of selecting their agents in carrying out 'measures best calculated to promote their interests and their happiness. I have deemed it proper to lay before you my views upon this all important subject, which I have done as briefly as possible. In conclusion, _I have-only to add, that I , have only one set of Prin ciples, and by them I am always wil ling to stand or fall. I havn"no conceal ments ; I am opposed to free trade doctrines and radicalism, and a United States Bank; in Whatever form they may , present themselves. Liberty of speech, a free press, and the cultivation of religious principles, is of American origin, and should not be departed from. If I have not sufficiedtly defined my po sition, I will add to prevept any rnisun derstanding—On the broad platform of Polk. Dallas, the Tariff, a distributiori of the proceeds of the sales of the pub. ! . lip lands, and NO STATE DEBT, I shall always be found advocating died() men and measures with all my feeble ' energies. With these ViOWEI, given in all sincerity and freedom, I am felluvit citizens, Your most obedient and humble seivant, D. M. BULL. Towanda, Aug. 17, 1844. Democratic Convention of Susquehanna Co.
