hardly, be es'timated. The products of th e
country would double in five yeats, and crime
would almost cease. Instead,• goveinment

Mail Robbery.
The Post Master's son at Pierceville, Wso
ming County, has been held to Wl' in the
. stria of $2,000 to answer the charge of rob
, bing the Mail. It was suspected that there
was something Wrong between Springville
and Nicholson, a letter containing, .money
was therefore mailed at the former place, and
the P. Mould special Moil Agont, Arii•xwva
after to learn the result. The' mail was; ex
iamined after passing Niter), but nothing was
missing, but after passing - Plereeville the de
coy letter was not to be found': The ynueg
man having opened the mail, was suspected,
and lied to the woods, but returned towards
night and . wits arrested and held to bail ns
above stated.
The rebuke administered to Wilmot
& Co., on the 13th inst., is indeed the most
significant on record. llis friends vainly
boasted that this district would give him a
largely increased 'majority from that of Fre
niont. last Fall. Instead-of this he actually loses
over 4,000 'Cotes. In Allegheny, where Le ex
pected 4,500 majority, racket nearly equals
him, and the Democrats elect Onemember of
Assembly and_their County Commissioner. In
Lancaster be is in a minority, and the Demo
cm iselect one , man on their County ticket.
In Dauphin, which gave. about 1,000 opposi
tion majority last Fall, Packer -leads Wilmot
near 500. We might give more examples,
but it is needless, as the same contrasts ex
ist in all parts of the State. The Wilmot
patty in the State is not only defeated, but
annihilated,. wiped out; and .again another
year will 'assume 'a different form, but the
tail of the serpent Can never be kept conceal
ed:.
tff" In 1854 Pollock was the "Union "
candidate for Governor, being supported
by the "Americans" and "Anti l Nebra.la
ites." He was elected by nearly 40,000
majority. In '55 Nicholson was the "Union"
candidate for - Uanal Commissioner, • and
w'is defeated, by over 10,000. - In '56
the " Union" electoral ticket, representing
the Fremont.,and Union Fillmore parties (the
same that supported Wilmot this Fail) was
defeated;_by 25;000. In '57 Wilmot was
nominated by the " Übion" convention, and
is defeated by the snug little :majoriti'ty of
42,0001
If our ".Union" friends can find any com
fort in these figures they are welcome to. it--
All we can. say _about it is, if they, wish al
ways to be defeated, let them-fuse, and that
result will universally follow." No class of
politicians can ever be permanently success:.
ful, who barter away the doctrines they ad
vocate for the prospect of success. The his
tory of the opposition to the 4)eznocratic par
ty proves this fact.
HMI vs. 1957.
" Our renders are requested to carefully pe
ruse the extract from. Wilmot's anti-Protec•
tire Tariff speech delivered in '46, 'also his
Protective Tariff let ter of '67. Comment at
this time is unnecessary, his own record con
demns him . Resides, the tariff question has
not been forgotten by our people, they will
remember upon what - issue be was sent to
Congress. We present his speech at that
timethat they may better 'recollect how entire
ly be opposed the very idea of " protection."
By his Brown letter, it will be seen that be
attempts to give the lie to his whole course
in Congress. If his- views had oltanged, he
should have the manliness to say tuo,instead of
trying to cheat the tariff men into his support
as bedid; How badly his game succeeded,
the election returns fully testify. Our object
in publishing these documents at this time
is to give all an oppertunity to coolly judge
this arrant Ileinagogne, who still - has the an
dacity to claim "that none of his views_ have
ever changed upon any question—that be is

CALIFORNIA ELECTION.—The following is
the Tesult of the election for Gavernor in Cal-
ifornia :
Weller, (Democrat,) 49.881.
Bowie, (A meriean,)..— 18,092.
Staaley, (Republican.) ..... . . 19,653.
It \ ail I. bo seen that Mr. Weller has nearly
eleven thousand majority over all. Last year
the vote for Fillmore and Fremont was three
thdusand fi'e hundred more than Buchan
anyit. The Democratic gain,, therefore, is
fourteen thousand. The legislature • will be
very strongly Democratic. The returns show
that the Senate will be composed of twenty,
six Democrats, five Reptiblicans, two holding
over from last year,)two AMericans and one.
Independent; while in the . Assembly there '
will be fifty.fonr Democrats, 'nine Reputili-,
caw; three Americans and four Independents.
BANKS IN TYNNtESSER.-30v. jObtISOII, in
his message to 1.110 Legislature - of the aboV - 0
!mum' State, recommends - Winditig tip ittt
the banks in the State, beanie he says they
hnve their originin error, and will' end in
ruin and fraud., lie limbos to rerun tw
hard-money system.
" Another argument of the protectioniSts,
and in ray. j udgment. a fallacious tlro , e
I have ahead v . noticed , is that uplcss • this re-
Stric:ivo poli& is adhered
,te, all the money
taken ; from the .couutry to pay fly
our impOrtations. If in
. any given year we
should buy of England More than-we sold to
her, we would pay the balance with the pro
ceeds of the trade with some other . country
where we had sold more than.:we bought, or
if the balance against us should be general,
we would be compelled, by t t he laws of (vie,
to curtail our purchases the nett or following
year until the balance was restored. Under
a sound currencv,•no - nation can much over
trade liefore a self actin , remedy will be ap
plied. We cannot purchase unless we can
sell. Nor can we for any length of time pur
chase a much larger quantity than we 411.--
Again : the precious metals are like any ioth
er commodity in the, market ; they are car
ried by commerce from one place to:aciOtter,
according as the demand for them Maybe
and their value at different points' in the
commercial world. • . .
" But says the' protectionist again, we are
in favor of protectin , . American labor apinst
the pauper labor_ of Europt.. How, pray;do
the half starved paupers cf Europe . injoie Ale
dome,tic manufacturer 1 They will not burn
clown his factory:or derange t his machinery.
But he labors so cheaply, is the reply, that
the manufacturer at home must be protected
from the tAleaper article of . his, make. But
why pi l otected I Certainly not that he may
sell the article the still. *,
• " No wonder that your - Lawrences and .Ap
pletons are so zealous in their.efforts to pro
tee; American labor. - What gives to these
men so deep and' exclusive a sympathy with
the mass I- Is it for the laborer they annual
ly expend thousands in, their efforts to - move
public opinion to their views ? For him do
they pare tariff ic, nventions and pass tariff
resolves Is it for him that.thev pension the
b•ightest talents of the 'country to plead the
cause of protection ? - Truly their interest in
the laborer must be deep and sincere, that at
such cost aril trouble they seek to protect
him against the pauper labor of Europe. - I
nc.nder if those men should have application .
made to them by a,cargo of paupers freshly
landed from Europe to work in - their facto
ries at: wages one tralf or one, third leas than
they were paring American laborers, if their
patriotism would not take fire at such an at
tack upon American lab6r I What say my
friends upon the other side? Do most the manu
facturers employ those they • -can hire the
cheapest l I think they woulu...upt be: seri
ously alarmed at the pauper. !abetl;lf Europe
presenting itself under such eirc - thrmanc es .,_
Ft is only when ant labor comes over in the
form of a cheaper rival manufacture that his
patriotism rises to the fever heat: His in.er
est in the laborer rises and falls in exact ratio
with his dividends. Sir,- have nofaith in
these hypocritical pretensions. Your lords
tf the spindle seek by every means in their
power to depress American labor. • - •
Sir, !reliving, as I do, I cannot give the in
flu_rnce of my - voice, however humble it may
be, in support of the tariff of 1812. t_believe
it unjust . , and oppressive; imposing heavy
