PromedillgitkiMen_lo, the Tariff.
A letter from *eishingtery.dited the 27th nit.,
Bap:
• ,
"The calculations required tcyzins!wer Gen. Cam
eron'trresolution are nearly completed, and the re
ply will be communicated within a day or two.
The - Secretary of, the Treasury will recommend
an iqcrease.,of ten :per cent on coal and ten per
Cent on' iron—generally, n reduction of ten per ,
cent on scythes, axes, &c., upon which he says the
revenue is depreciated by rohibition. He will
also recommend thirty per cent Increase on refined
sugar.
- He renews the applications made to the House
for a tax of twenty per cent on ten and coffee.—
Whatever may be the fate of the last proposition.
regard the others to be entirely out of the.,ques
ion."
For ouiciwn part, we confess th i tit we do not
see the necessity for any modification of the Tariff
at present. - '`We supposed' that ample protection
was afforded to all departments of industry, and
that prosperity would attend all branches of do
mestic enterpriie. But if it shall appear that fur
ther protection is actually necessary in order to
supply a deficit in the revenue of the country, as
well as to enable our citizens to prosecute their
various Avocations with success, we shall not feel
disposed to oppose such a modification of the exist
ing revenue law as will accomplish those objects.
We have full faith in the honesty- of the Secre
tary of the , Treasnry, and we feel confident that he
will not recommend any change in the Tariff of
18\16, unless the demands of the country actually
require it. We shall patiently watch the history
of this Matter, and keep our readers advises] of . what
may be done.
Gratifying Pirtnrr.
We copy from, this Baltimore Sun of Saturday,
the following article. It exhibits a truly gratify
ing iiiiture of the prosperity of our country. We
hope those who talk so much about "ruin," will
read it with attention:
The Prosperity - of all &ranches of Industry.—
The agricultural, commercial and mechanical in
terests of the country never were in a more sound
and prosperous condition than at this time, with a
rapid and constant nor" of specie into the country
from the old world; and we are gratified to learn l i
from the Boston Post of theondiminished prosperi- i
ty of the manufacturing interest. That journal I
states that a division of its surplus or reserved
profits has recently been made by the 3lassachu.!
setts Mills, and fifteen per cent. thus presented to 1
its stockholders, which is a very pretty gift, but not
quite equal to the extra dividends and investment
in a new mill of its surplus or reserved fund by I
another large Lowell factory. It is stated that I
cotton" oods have risen very much in price recently.
"Amoskeag sheetings, which a few weeks since!
were sold by the agents at 8 cents, are now up to
.8i : last year at this lane the same quality stood at
7 that. Within a short time tickings and denim*
have advanced ito 1 cent per yard. Prints, such
as have lately been bought from 4 to 4i cents, are
selling by the case for 5} Colored cambric* have
advanced i to I cent.—Woolen, linen and rubber
g_oods are advancing." The neat mouaselin de.
laines, now making by the Manchester Milis, are
afforded for less than coat of importation by two
or three cents per yard. It is stated that there
never was a time when more capital was being
invested in manufactures than at this moment in
New England." The same remarks will apply
to other parts of the country.
Facts for the Panicitcs.
The Middletown (Conn.) Elentinel contains the
following cuticle, which dearly shows that the
country has been ruined by the "British Tariff of
18•tG:"
Still More Ruin!—We learn that at the great
Axe Manufactory in Connellsville, in this State,
the works are kept going night and day—the Com
pany having two sets of hands—and yet are unable
to supply all their orders!
We also learn, that the India Rubber Company

~E hat ate we coming too? Wonder if they have
- braid of the prophetic warnings of the ruin that
was sure to follow the Tariff of 1&i8! 11 they
have they did not believe them—and therein they
manifested their wisdom.

The steam ship Hibernia, which arrived at Bos
ton a few days since, brought out Iwo indhoor cis&
hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) in specie.—
The freight on this, amounted to the snug little
sum of $l-1,000. If "England buys nothing from
us," as alleged by the panic federalists, why is it
that nearly every ship that arrives at our shores
from that country, brings large amounts of specie
The fact is, England does buy from us, and buys
extensively too. Liberal tariff laws, operate ben
eficial to both countries.
1,647 50
A Priori-rants Tnir.—The Hibernia must have
earned a rich freight on her recent trip. The spe
cie paid half per cent., or about $14,000: the pas
sengers $15,000 or more, and the goods probably
$lO,OOO or $12,000, making in all some $40,000,
besides the great purse of the British Government
for the mails. That will do, says the New York
Journal of Commerce, for one trip across the ,At
lantic, all gone into the pockets of Englishmen.
GZITZII.II. TAILOA , FOR TILE
We find the following communication in the
Washington Fountain of the 9th ult., purporting
to come from members of both Houses of Con-
gress
We respectfully submit to the consideration of
the Whig National Nominating Convention, and
of the American people, without respect to party,

as a candidate for the next Presidency of the Uni
ted States."
The above is signed "Many Members of the Sen
ate and House of Representatives," and dated
" Washington, Jan. 29, 1847."
cr,The following (infer of the War Department
stablished on the Ist of March, 1825, has been
revived, and-is now in full force:
"G5O. Private letters or reports, relative to mil
itary marches and operations, are frequently mis
chievous in design, and always disgraceful to the
army. They are, therefore, strictly forbidden;
and any officer found guilty of making such report
for publication, without special permission, or of
placing the writing beyond his control, so that it
finds its way to the press, within one month alter
the termination of the campaign to WhiCh it re
lates, shall be dismissed from the service."
lOWA.—The Legislature did not go into the
choice of U. S. Senators on the 6th ult., to which
day the election stood adjourned. It is doubtful
whether they will be elected at this session. Mar
shall. who stood accused of of bribery, has been
liberated by habeas corpus,

ture to abolish Capital
,Punishment. All.we 'have
to say is, we hope it will become a law. The
more we have thought upon the subject, the more
barbarous and unnecessary appears to us this thing
of the Sheriff choking a man to death.
We have been a letter from Columbus, which
states 'that' a bill' has been reported in the'Ohie
-Legislatum, to giant to , the Pittsburgh and Cleve
land Railroid Company the "Right of Way" from

hope that-our - Legislature. will take measures to
continue the road to this city.

Mr. Smith read a bill in place to abolish The
Mayor's-Court in the city of Lancaster:
The bill compensating Thos. B. Lytle for the
loss of his bans, passed the. Senate finally. The
complainants barn bad been built three quarters of
a mile from the Railroad in' Lancaster county; a
small frame building immediately .to the track
took fire from the sparks of the locomotive; the
wiud being high• it communicated its flames to
Mr, Lytle's barn. As it was - a Consequential act
damages were sought for, and the bill I mentioned,
passed the Senate to remunerate him for his lose.
In the House the Conestoga steam milts formed
the subject of debate. The Democrats not wishing
to see the bill pass in its prerent shape, offered
several amendments in regard to the t lndividual
liability of the stockholders, which were all voted
down by the whige. The bill as it is will never
receive the Governor's signature. They will at
tempt to make it a law by a vote of two-thirds,
but there is too much honesty in the Legislature
to give a Company of three hundred thousand dol
-1 lars capital; so many immunities. I was sorry to
see our friend Klingensmith, of Armstrong, voting
with the whigs on every amendment; come out at
once, Philip; and leave your principles. You: say
you are a democrat, yet strange inconsistency you
support the whir,s in all their measures. Your
friends at home will tall you to a reckoning.
