The Tariff BM.
The House of Representatives have passed a bill for
the modification of the Tariff of .11342 by a vote of 114
to 95. The Member from this district, Hon. 1./icta
WiL3IIOT, atone, of all the Pennsylvania delegation, had
italependertte and moral courage enough to stand up
and do his duty to his constituents, his principles, and
his country.
Mr. Wilmot has heretofore been a mark for the mis
repre,entation and abuse of the New fork Tribune, and
the smaller luminaries which take their cue from that
paper, fur his professed views in relation to therariff,
and we expect in see his present vote seized upon to
make him appear as ■ " Free Trade" man. That he
has expressed the wishes and views of his constituents,
we firmly believe, and that they will sustain him, we can
have no reason to doubt.
In this vote, Mr. Wilmot has but carried out the great
principles which he id ii t e}siduously and eloquently pro
mulgated in the late Presidential canvass; views which
have been thoroughly dirijussed and understood by the
people of this district, and :which they declared as the
wisest and best policy by electing him most triumphant-
Iv to his present post, over one who proclaimed himself
as “ standing on the broad platform of the Tariff of
1812."
It is needless (or us to say . - to one of Mr. Wilmot's
constituents, that he has ever expressed himself favorable
to a modification of the Tariff of 1842, to bring equal
and just protection to au classes of our citizens, to all
branches of our industry. He has labored to show that
this tariff was moat unequal and unjust in its operations,
y balding to the rich capitalists the privilege of taxing in
dustry to fill his already capacious coffers, and extending
no advantages to the poor awl worthy laborer. lie was
willing that the tariff of 1842 should remain in operation
long enouxti to test its practical utility, and then its repul
sive features shouldgive way to the modification which
should make it equal upon all. This has been done.—
The - cotton-lords" have waxed rich upon the industry
of the land ; capital has accumulated capital, and bloated
wealth has added to its riches. But we ask the Farmers
of Bradford; has it added to your purse or your posses
sions! flas this Tariff, so all-prvading in its genial
influence. permitted you to declare dividends of 10, 20
or 40 per cent. per yeiu, like unto the Cotton mills of
the East I How is the price of your wool! Has it
ever brought you less I For the first two years of the
tariff, it brought you a fair price, but the duty is merely
nominal on unmanufaclured wool, and these country
losing, home-leaguing, protectionists have sought it from
abroad. Can you dispose of your wheat at any price?
Where is the home market, which was to have been
created by the tariff, to afford you ready sale at high
prices.for your produce?
The Democracy of this district, are far removed from
the Free trade-ism which their opponents would fix up
on them. They would gladly see the great interests of
the country, and particularly of their own State, fostered
and protected. But they believe that the favors of legis-!
lation should as far as practicable, fall equally, and they
are willing to see any tariff modified which is unjust,
unequal, and oppressive in its operation. There is no
charm in the name of protection, no power in the wealth
of capital, which can gloss over the hideousness of an
unjust law, and prevent them from demanding its modi
fication. They are fortunate in having in Congress, a
Representative who, while others crouch and waver,
while phantoms of "free trade " and spectres of tariffs
terrify them, are unable to decide for the good of their
country, has manfully and consistently battled on.the
same righteous ground be occupied at home, and now
has the honor of giving the only vote from Pennsylvania
for the modification of the repulsive features of the pre
sent tariff. To me the words of the Washington Un
ion:—" From Pennsylvania, there was but a single vote
for this great-reeasure—and that came from the bold and
fearless, the truly able and eloquent Wilmot. Let him
wait but a year, to see the operation of this bill defeat all
the predictions of his opponent., and his vote„ though
now alone, will be the vote of Pennsylvania."
We have written this much hastily; intending to re
vert to the subject next week.

THE CASE Or FRLEMAH.—The jury appointed to try
the sanity of Freeman, at Auburn, have returned a ver
dict of sane, the jury standing 11 to 1 for the verdict
rendered. Drs. Brigham, IVFCoIe and Coventry, testi
fied positively to his being insane, founded no doubt on
his sullen and malignant conduct during his imprison
ment for five years in the" State Prison, for horse steal
ing. That he was a morose, ignorant and bad fellow,
there can be no doubt, and there is also a probability that
he may have been innocent of horse stealing, for which
he was convii ted, as be always conceived that some one
ought to pay him for his five years labor in the prison,
but the fact that he murdered the prosecuting witness in
that case, and his family. shows that he meditated a deep

PRESIDENT PULK.-A great deal of curiobt
ly has been created in London. by the arrival
of some cotton from President Polk's planta
tion marked with the letters and figures—" P.
49th D." The conmossieure of the cotton
trade declare that this is no ordimtry cotton
mark ; and, therefore, the question remains as
to what it can mean. Two or three explain
to •• P." means •• Polk," and that.•' 49th D."
means "49th degree," and refers to the Ore.
gun Affair.
PRINCE LOWS NAPOLEON.-A meeting of Cie
Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers has taken
place,. to consult on the line of Policy to be
adopted towards Prince Louis Napoleon, and
it has been agreed that until they receive in
structions from their different Courts, they will
abstain from personal intercourse with the
Prince.
AMERICAN Ice—A vessel, called the London
Hannah Sprague, has arrived in the St. Kath
arine's-ttock from Boston, United States, hav
ing a cargo consisting entirely of ice, and
comprising the large quantity of 600 tons
of the article. A further arrival of 664 tons
from the same port has also reached London
per the Ilizahle. The article is in large blocks
and in an excellent state of preservation.--
Since the arrivals of ice which recently took
place from Norway and other parts of the
north of Europe, which have ceased from the
time they were last noticed, this is the first im
portation of the article which has taken place
from any loreign country, and it will no doubt
if the present sultry weather should continue,
be in very general request.
STATE OF THE CROPS.—The weather is,
and has been for some weeks past, delightful,
but oppressively hot. Following as it has
done the heavy rains of a very wet spring, the
earth promises an early and abundant harvest.
The wheat crop, both in this and the sister
kingdoms, is likely to be most luxuriant and
ripe at an unusually early period. The corn
crop seems to have suffered a little from ,the
scorching nature of the weather, and in some
places by vermin.
Reports begin to spread respecting the blight
amongst the potatoe crops. It has been report
ed as visiting the neighborhoods of Glasgow
and Dublin, and a correspondent of the Gard
ner's Chronicle mentions that it has shown it
self at Portugal. No doubt the state of the
;tisane. if it actually exists has been tugger
atsd. In connection with this subject, it
shoUld•be remarked, that the original cause of
the potato murrain was supposed to have been
the cold. wet spring and 'summer of 1845
whereas the present summer has, up to this
period, been characterised by a want of rain
and extreme heat : the disorder, if it really ex
ists, cannot therefore have been occasioned by
the weather.

His death was sudden. and may possibly

ordinary times the decease of a Pope would
not occasion coy sensation in the- political
world, but such is not the case in the present
instance., Pope Gregory XVI was a good,
kinds .beeevolent man. sincere in his religious
principles. and more talent than most others
whii had held the keys of St. Peter.
The member of the Sacred ,:College most
likely to succeed Pope Gregory XVI is the
Cardinal Franzoni, Prefect of the Congrega
tion of the Propaganda. He is, however, con
sidered friendly towards the Jesuits, and will
be, of course,fiercely opposed by France. Car
dinal Franzoni was born at Genoa on the 10th
of December, 1775, and is, of course in the
71st year of his age. Cardinal Acton might
not improbably be selected, and would in that
case be only the second Englishman that has
ever held the Papal dignity.
Great agitation continues to prevail in dif
ferent parts of the country, especially in the
Papal States, and it is to be feared that out
breaks will take place.
BRITISH TORIES IN 1846, COPYING FROM
THOSE OF 1812.—An eastern whig print, in
launching out in extravagant denunciations
against the President, for sending Taylor and
his little army to chastise the murderers of
American citizens, uses the following charac
teristic
language:
" Let the party which brought about this
evil, bear the brunt of it. Let Col. Polk lead
MT his democratic army and his corps de re
serve of liberty men, and let him, and them,
reap all the laurels of this war."
The tories at the present day, have not on
ly inherited the PRINCIPLES of the " blue light"
tories of 1812, but they even use the same
language. A federal leader in the last war
gave the following toast :
" Jim Madi on declared war. Let Jim
Madison carry it on !"
Could the resemblance be more striking?
Do our readers desire examples nearer home ?
If so, we would cite the conduct of the base
tories of our own city, some of whom have
applied such epithets as " vagabonds" and
" ragamuffins," to the brave volunteers who
rallied at their -country's call, to beat • back a
murderous foe. Let these gallant men remem
ber that this is but an ebullition of the same
spirit that prompted these tortes, when our ar
my was disbanded in 1816, to warn the people
to "..keep their stable doors locked." to pre
vent their horses from being stolen by the men
whose valor had defended them!
The vilest abuse of such vile tories, is -the
highest praise patriotism could ask for.—Ohio

HORRIBLE AFFAIR-A MOTHER MURDER
ED BY nen Soo.—A young man named James
is in jail in Leavenworth count•, Ind.,
charged with the murder of his own mother.
The Banner says :
The fiend in human shape had taken his
mother to support—to live with him—he to
provide, she to do the housework. Thus they
lived until the old lady's health became so im
paired that she was scarcely able to leave her
bed, when one day. (Sunday June iih,j be
came in and ordered her out of bed to get him
some dinner, •• and be damn quick about it,
for he was going to shoot her." The old lady
obeyed the injunction ; and whilst she was
bending over the fire preparing his meal, he
took the barrel of a pistol loaded with powder
and ball, and with a coal of tire he set it off—
die ball took effect in the upper part of the
thigh, and ranged through into the abdomen.
She fell bleeding on the door, where she lay
while this demon and murderer endeavored to
stop the blood by filling the wound with tow
and salt, and washing her with cold water acid
spirits. He then let her lay till next day noon
bid in his bed behind a blanket, which hung
between her and himself, that his eyes need
not meet the dying and Supplicating looks of
the mother. On Monday she became so much
worse he balled in the neighbors. As they
came he fled; but justice pursued and over
took him, and he is now in custody awaiting
his Trial at our next District Court.
DISASTROI'S OCCURRENCE ON LAKE ERIE.--
The Buffalo Advertiser of the 2d inst. has the
following account of a disaster on the Lake :
The schooner IL 11. Sizer capsized in a
squall at 4 o'clock, P. M., cn Saturday last,
when some ten miles east of Southport •on her
way down to Racine, and that of a family of ten
who were passengers all were lost except three,
a girl of I 4 and two boys of the ages of 10 and
12. It appears that the heads of the family
were English, and had resided in Utica, in this
State, some seven or eight years. About 4
o'clock on Saturday. while the passengers were
below, a squall struck the vessel and she imnie,
diately capsized. Every effort was made by
Capt. Martin and his crew to rescue his passen
gers, but unfortunately they only succeeded in
saving the three mentioned, one of whom, the
girl, was dragged out of the cabin window.—
Capt. M. immediately cut away his mainmast
and constructed a raft, on which himself and
two of the crew endeavored to reach the shore
to obtain assistance.• The schr. Knickerbocker,
however, hove in sight after the lapse of some
12 hours and picked up the captain and the two
men, and then took off the remainder from the
wreck.
Shortly afterwards. Capt. McFayden, of the
steamboat Madison. spoke to the schr. Knicker
bocker, with colors at half mast. and immedi
ately went along side and took off the crew and
the three children and landed them at Southport.
Unfortunately, the name of the family was not
obtained.

CAPT. C. M. CLAY.—CaS9II.I9 M. Clay has
written a letter defining his position. for the
gratification of his friends here, who so liber
ally denounce him. We make the following
extract :
I have renounced no principle ever avowed
by me ; I relax no effort for the maintenance and
extension of my avowals; whom then and what
have I betrayed ? -
Up to the time that Congress assumed the war,
I protested against it, whilst my duty as a sol
dier and the " articles of war" require me to
abstain from disrespectful mention of my politi
cal and military superiors, I retract nothing I
have said.
We in this republic have agreed that a majori
ty should rule under constitutional limits. The
constitutional expression of Congressional will
has been had. They call upon me to defend
my country. If I were draped, and were to re
sist, it would be treason ! If I fail to volunteer
it is equally moral treason though legally I might
escape punishment ! When I have used every
argument and honorable means to change the
action of my country I have only half discharged
my duty ; I owe her rescue from the conse
quences of her errors and her crimes.
Upon no other principle can national existence
he maintained. There must either be an hon
orable, fair and sincere support of the legal action
of a nation or open and manly rebellion. To
support a bad cause is bad, rebellion under pres
ent circumstances- is worse.

" OLD liouott AND READY : "—We has.
heard several very good anecdotes related a
General Taylor by a gentleman who served
under him in Florida. The following is one
of the number :—During the war ir it i t t h e
Seminoles. the army was frequently supplied
with corn which had become damaged by ex ,
posure to damp air. Gen. Taylor had a horse
which was called clay-bank" a very gre
animal, but he did not particularly fancy Lt.
cle Sam's musty rations. The General u‘ed
to partake of the same fare as the soldiers un
der hem, and so did lay-bank," so l a , a ,
the corn W9B concerned'," but he was a litt.e
dainty. The General was very fond of burn.
my, and musty corn made anything but a
pleasant diet. He would not lay himself has
tile to the suspicion of •• picking" to the pre.
judice of the soldiers, so old "Clay-bahli”
would be let loose among the sacks of corn,anl
after smelling very carefully, the sagaciou., au
iinal would commence gnawing a bole two
one which pleased him. The general would
watch the manoeuvre until he saw —Clay-bank"
had made a choice, then calling his servant.
would direct him to have Clay-bank" stance;
immediately for fear he might do inti , cloe::
but, he would say, as the annimal leas
ed a hole in the bag, take out a quart or :o of
the corn and make a dish of hominy." The
trick was played several times, but ht and by
it became known that whenever •• Clay.hank7
gnawed into a sack, sweet corn Was 10 he fonni
and the incident became a standing joke ihiring

During a passage to Calcutta, in looking out
of the Cabin windows down upon the i.ruilef
the vessel my attention was called to the figures
made upon the copper by the carpenters. as is , :
being washed out, notwithstanding we had beer
at sea some 50 or 60 days. I recollected that
the carpenters made use of old fashioned blues
ball (composed of beeswax, lampblack and ub
low) to mark'the weight of the sheets of copper.
and the adhesive quality of the wax resisted
the action of the water. (I remembered also the
some of the carpenters used common chalk for
the same purpose.) On ajar arrival at Calcutta
I found that the figures still remained ; and be

upon the bluff of the bow withbeeswax—laid
on very thin. After making another i oyage the
vessel was taken on the railway to be re-coprr

washed off and the copper under it retained l a
original thickness. NV here the chalk was seed

remove any doubt of the cause, the holes thus
