The Panic Orgies.
Whets now me the predictions with which the Info
rid press teemed on the passage of the tariff bill of 18461
The time is passed, limited for their fulfilment, bat none
eff the evils havo.visited us. These predictions were
;node with an appartut sincerity and earnest:His, and
to the minds of many, we have no doubt, invested the
(*turn with fearful omens. There tiru no calamity
which could befall commercial and mechanical pOisuits,
but wets spoken of with • confident boldness that stag.
greed and startled the unsuspecting portion of the.people.
Labor watt' to be reduced to the wages of a mere serf.—
timber would be add only at most ruinous prices.—
Furnaces would, stop their operations; the • owners be
come ruined, and the openness beggared. The iron
sod coal mines of ibis state, were to suffer annihilation ;
end pose, deceived, betrayed Pennsylvania, was to be •
by-werd and repined'. The perfidy of the Vice Priori.
'lent and Hon. D. Wilmot thr voting for the Tariff of
1846, was the subject of opprobbim by 'the federal•press ;
and se violent' and vindictive were the federalists, that
they homed the Vice President in effigy. •
We call especial and sober attention to these facts.—
We claim in justice a to common cense, the good of our
country and of this state, that they should be remember.
' ed. Harmless weapons may be used in sport, but what
4ialiatioo can there be for the use of those intruded only
to vanquislythst the victors may gloat on the spoils. .A
warfare as reckless as it is wicked. The men who en
gage hitt, are its destitute of attachment 'to their country,
'as is a tyrant of humanity. The came, for such it is,
is apt to be winked at and spoken of only as • part of
the pukkal machinery nd chicanery for electioneering.
We hope for, and expect to see, a rebuke and indigna
tion expressed by the people, that will not only cover
with shame, (if any they have,) those who attempt to
practice suck frauds upon them. Permit the influences
.nt bite vile, political Orgies to prevail, and the govern
' meat becomes nothing mere than • stake to gambled
for end to pass into the hands of the most uccessfUl
knaves.
practice a4opted by the federal press, o nding
consternation istits the ranks of the people by ooding
ever the future,ind foretelling as• the operations of ,ke.
modstio measures, the direful calamities. to befall tt
country, if persisted and succeeded in, will make the di
of federal triumph the worst calamity that could happen
to diem. They who have been deceived, will mock at
them, and laugh at their fear.
fio persevering bane been the federalists in their efforts
not only to pour - out their doleful lementations, but to
cripple every wholesome democratic measure., that a say
ing has passed to s proverb, that " - when the country
sinks, Federalism riser; and when the country 'rises,.
Federalism sinks." The federalists have never succeed
ed,. the, whole tipsiness of the country , was
depraved by tome revulsion of trade or dire calamity,
and then only, by first contributing what they could to
bring about this state of things.
Their recent effort ton depress the business of the
country because of the tariff of 1848, is .fortunately a
failure. Neva in the - history of the country have till
the industrial interests been in as high state of praperitr
as now.• When before has the LVIIIIIILMAN reaped is
rich harvest 1 The FBRXILi such reward for his toil 1
The 14scamric and LAIIOIII such constant Val well
requited employment I Not only are these pursuits
highly prosperous, but the other great interests of Penn
ey lames are equally favored: r —lron and coal command
highimices, and the business is even more extensive
than at any/ former period. it was predicted also, as the
teat of the tariff , of 1848, that it would drain the min
try vof specie, and involve us in debt with Europe. bi
ased of which, the exchanges have been and are now
in our favor. Nearly every packet ship from Liverpool
for six months paM, has brought to thie cmontry specie.
The Cakidusia steam ship, the last arrive!, brought over
nearly two smilkialf millions of gold. Scieiie is more
shimdint now in this country than' ever before. We
ea the people,to think seriously of these 'things. It is
their duty thus to do. And when in !October next, they
are called upon to decide at the ballik box whether the

Country Newspapers.
A contemporary gives this good as well as opportune
advice:—" Let no farmer and no other man relinquish
the newspaper published in his own neighborhood, for
the sake of taking some other larger ; cheaper. or more
popular newspaper published abroad. The newspaper
published in one's own county, is, as a general rule
more valuable than my other, if it be fur nothing brit
the advertisements; fur even they are the thermometer
of business, and often the key which opens the door to
excellent bargains. It it of no little consequence to the
farmer lto knew what is going on In his market town ;
the antspetitiens in buying produce; the changes in busi•
flees operations; the settlerunits of estates ; sides of
/arms, lee. We venture to say there is,'no man who
may not every year much spore than esur the price of
subscription to his neighboring newspapers, from its
ladvertising columns alone t. and on this ground all ought
to patronize their own newspapers. This should be
done also fur weighter reasons, one of which we will
name: the mammoth weekly sheets of the dues being
furnished at a price with which no country printer can
compete, (for the reason, because made up generally
from manes on6e used and paid for in the daily papers,)
are eneuerlidg largely upon the country newsmen',
thus discouraging , improvements, and gradually,bringing
the whole country' under the influence, and in some
sense, the control of the leading cliques In the cities.—
Thus 4 tone is given to the annals and politics and
habits of the country, and we hesitate not to say that the
preponderance of this influenee is be& The people* of
the county, get full enough of this influence through
their owo newspapers; and if they would not compete
for the suprfmacy of the cities over the morel and politi
cal destiny of the country, let themnupport the country
and no other newspepirs. Or take the city /papers if
you can afford it and le many as you please; but first

too much of this already. But what will : - be

The order of Canales is peremptory. It
commends his followers to spare. neither age

PRONTIER BRIGADE OD CAVALRY.
Camp in Sari Augustin. April 4 1847. •
this day send to the Adjutant inspector of
the National Guards the following instruc
tions :
I learn, with the greatest indignation, that :
the Americans;have committed a most teirible
massacre of the rancho of the Guadalupe. They
made prisoners, in their . ow n houses, and by
the side of their families. twenty-five pea:ta
ble men, and immediately shot them. To re
pel this class of warfare, which is not war, but
atrocity in all its fury, there is no other course
left us than retaliation ; and in order to pursue
this method, rendered imperative by the fatal
circumstances above mentioned, you will im
mediately declare martial law, with the tinder
mending, that eight days after the publication
of the flame:every individual -who has not ta
ken up arms, (being capable of sdoing) shall
be considered a traitor, and lasts tly shot.
i l
i
Martial law being in fOrce. yo are bound to
give no quarters to any Amytican whom you
may meet or who may present himself to you,
even though he be without arms. You are al=
so directed to publish this to all the towns in
this State, forcibly impressing them with the
1 severe punishment that shall be inflicted, for
the least omission of this order.
We ha‘e arrive at that'state in which our
country requires \the greatest sacrifice ; her
sons should glory in nothing bat to become sol
dyers, and as brave Mexicans to meet the crisis.
Therefore, if the army of invasion continues,
and our people remain in the towns which they
have molested, they deserve not one • ray of
eympathy ; nor should any one ever cease to
make war upon them. '
You will send a copy of this to each of your
subordinates, and they are authorised to pro
ceed against the chiefs of their sqnadrons or
against their tolopels or any other, even against
, me, for any infraction of this order—,The only
mode of salvation left. The enemy waires_war
against us and even those peaceable caizetis
who, actuated by improper impulses. c'esire to
remain quest in their houses. Even those
they kill, . without quarter ; and this is the
greatest favor they may expect from them.—
The only alternative left us. under these cir
cumstanees. to retention, which is the strong
right of the offended against the offending.—
To carry this into effect. attach yourself tki
the authorities. Your failing to do this Will
be considered a crime of the greatest magni
tude.
All the officers of the troops are directed to
assist you in carrying out this order, and it is
distinctly understood there shall be no excep.
►ions. Neither the clergy. military citizens
nor oche. persons shall enjoy.the privilege of
remaining peaceably at their homes. The
whole of the corporation shall torn out with
the citizens. leaving solely as authority of the
town one of the members who is over 'the age
of 60 years ; at the time, if all of the
members are capable of bearing twine, then
none shall fie
_excepted ; leaving to act some
one who is'ineapable of military service. I
You, yourself, must be an example to oth•
era, by conforming to this requisition. And I
sen•! this to you for pnbliestion. and charge
you to see it executed in every particular. and
communicate it also to the Commanders of the
squadrons in your city, who will aid you in
carrying into effect these instructions ;'and in
fact you are directed to do a'! and everything
which your patriotism may prompt. God end
Liberty! . 7. ANTONIO CANALES.

The vessel was the brig Esnaostlt, of

from Lo doodeiry to Quebec. Her crew con

farmers with their families. ,''here- were also
a number of women( and children going out to
jvin their male relatives who had already
settled in Canada; and in the were three young
ladies. two a them sisters, going to their homes
at St., John. New Brunswick. Among the
passengers were only about sixty men.
A gale set in very soon atilt... Abe brig lost
sight of land. which was on Sunday afternoon.
April 25. and continued to increase in violence
until Wednesday morning. when she struck
on the western coast of the Island of [slay.—
The disaster probably would not have happen
ed if thi captain bad stood to the Westward on
• Sunday night or Monday moaning. when he
would have had . ample sea room; but he bad
lost his topsails, which were blown away. and
he hoped to make some harbor where he could
repair damage;.
On Tuesday ni land and a light were seen
i tir
which' Captain. th unhappily mistook for
the Island of 'C ry, off the northwest coast Of
,Ireland. and hen supposed knhad ample sea
room. Sut for his error he would then have
attempted to ch ge his course, and might have
saved the vessel ; as it was he kept on. and
was soon made conscious of his mistake by
finding his vessel in broken water. He tried
to claw off, but it was too late, and as before
mentioned, she struck on Wednesday night.—
Aftrr the'firat blow she, was dashed broadside
against the lofty rocks three times;
at the fourth
the mainmast went by:the board , falling into a
chains of the rocks.
In the maintop, at this time, were the captain
who bad stationed himself there for a better
lookout. and three seamen ; the captain's son, a
lad of fifteen, wait asleep below. When the,
mast_fell into the chasm the three seamen.
John Steieni, lVilliam Coulthard and George
Lightford, succeeded in scrambling along until
they gained a footing on the crags, the darkness
being total. The eaptaitt Spoke to them and
was Antis to follow, when a mighty wart
swept orer the rock,--lin its recoil hurled the
fragment, of th e mast and the captain back into
the sea and drove the brig to a greater distance
from the shore, this cutting off the only chance
of escape for those on board. The three seamen
contrived to maintain their position on the crags,
though the waves dashed over them, and -after
a time succeeding in finding a crevice where
they remained in tisterable safety until day
light, when they Rained the summit of the cliff _
and loon obtained relief at a farm house.
They heard the ''brig ralsidly dashed and
pound to pieces. and all on board must have
perished. At the date of the latest advice,
' from thelsland about 20 bodies had come ashore
principally females ; one's's, I little boy. All
were terribly mangled by being dashed against
the, rocks. Other bodies were seen floating
in the surf, but no boat. dared approach them. ,

A band of about 200 Mexicans has been
prowling about the mounted riflieniep6 camp.
4 miles from this place, twei nights firi succes
