LIE AEA!. Srer - e.—A mercantile firm in this city,
yesterday received a box of gold. fromealifornia, in
paythent for goods sent out there at en early stage
of the epidemic. It is thooght to be the first remit
tance of California - gold received is payment for
goods. It consists in part of grains ?rad scales, and
partly of small lumps, the largest weighing an
ounce.
rfa' We clip the following front die Journal of
corn'tnerceef Thursday last. The fact here related
may be=set down as the beginning of an immense
trade with California. Specie will flow in upon us
from every direction, and every argument in favor
of a small note or shinplaster currency, will be eh
fectnslly destroyed. Thus is essentially the Golden
Age of our Republic.
—.Since writing the above our eye caught the fol
lowing :
Sexcir..--The importa of specie at this port for-the

The whigs are far from agreeing on this subject.
Formerly every whig was a protectionist, now many
have learned more correctly the true laws of trade,
and the science of government. The New York
Tribune contains the following communication from
one of its correspondents, nailing one of simple
HORACE'S celebrated fallacies:
" In your Tariff article on Thursday morning, you
deny that the tendency of a Protective duty in to en.
-lianee prices. - Now I confess myself. though a whig,
in a state of shamelul uncertainty in regard to the
entire, question of the -Protective policy. And yet
one thing seems to me cleat—namely, that prices
must be enhanced by a tariff, *the/wire its purpose is
not answered. ' I am probably showing my utter ig
norrince of the matter, bet I ask informattom
" Taking, for instance, Iron instead of Pins, is
your argument truer •A higher_ duty—that is, an
enhanced price—is asked to enable the manufactur
ers to live. If no increase of price i■ obtained, and
that permanently, what is the good of" Protection?"
Does it reduce the rate of wages, (l hope notd or

Dian And yet, notwithstanding the enormous pro.
fits which .the cotton manufacturers are enabled to
make, under the present tariff, they are constantly
demanding more protection, and the Whig and con

people believe that the country will be ruined if it
is not granted ! As seonis this paragraph meets the

Remembrance.
I think or one, as thus away,
I tread life's present flowerless waste,
As sadly dawns the early ray—
As darkly, evening shadows haste.
And when the gentle moon appears,
And night walks forth with marred train,
Ohl fast and faster fall my tears,
Keener and deeper grow. my pain.
Shine gently ever on his grove,
Ye pitying host, with dewy °yea,
Throb, bosont, powerless to save,
Voiceless, alas! save to its sighs.

ed; on expressing this belief to her husband, she
was at the montent'quite shocked at the dissatis•
faction with which he received it. Taking his
bat shortly afterward, he left the house, and was
r. absent for near en hour. He was distressed on his
return, to find hiis. wife in tears. He assured .her
immediately (for they were devotedly attached,)
that be was rejoiced to learn the probable realiza
tion of ber announcement; that he was now satis
fied with the condition of his pecuniary affairs,and
convinced, of their stability.
The wife tined her tears, but soon expressed
her conviction that, in some way, her expected
offspring would puffer from her agitation. The
husband endeavored to remove her apprehensions
by gentle. and affectionate ridicule. But her fears
continued at intervals duritg her early_ months,
and gradually increased as gestation advanced.
The, relief. of Ihe parties was great, at the birth of
a healthy and well formed boy. No peculiarity
of conduct in the child was observet till several
months bad elapsed, and then their fears were ret
newed, by its extreme unwillingness to approach
the lather. This gradually increased, until its dis
satisfaction was manifested by loud and continued
screaming when brought near him. As age ad.
vanced, the tanst persevering efforts were made to
overcome this repugnance; the utmost degree of
persuasiveness and ingenuity,diversity of childish
gifts and sports, all were tried in vain, and the at
tempt was abandoned in deipair. The feelings of
the father may be judged by parents, for he was,
and is, an exceedingly affectionate man.
This continued, and at the time of our receiving
the information from a near persoliel relative, the
son, then an , active and rising member of the bar,
had never been able to speak to his father, though
the most painful efforts were made.
We give this cue as we beard it from a lady
and her husband, whom to.know is to revere. It
was told us by the lady, just arising from what
we all supposed would be her death bed, and an
offer was made at the time to introcuce us to the
parties. We now regret that our years induced
us to decline the proffered introduction. We did
not feel willing at the time, to make any personal
inquiries in a matter that had been productive of
so much distress, and that time had somewhat al
leviated.
Governer Johnston*. Pledgee
We beliese our present State Executive openly
claims, that, but for his exertions Geo. Taylor would
never have got the vote ofPennstivania, sod there
fore would never have been elected. The boast is
so much like the than, we are nut disposed to doubt
that it is often made. Other people may preasmo
to question the eatrasagaot preteustoo, and to think
that Gen. Taylor's military prowess had a little to
do, Got only with the result in November, but, also,
that it saved Johnston in October. Be this as it may,
it may be usefid,jest at vessel, while the Governor
is directing Mr. Lewis to remove every Democrat
now is office in this city, to see how be asked the
voter of the people of Pennsylvania for General Tay
lor. He issued “twelve reasons why General Tay
lor should be elected," in October last, among
which tho follow tog occurs':
=lib will proscribe no man for a conscientious dif
ference rf opinion; being a toter fl freedom of
thcugM himself, he can offm4 to tolerate it in others: ,
Vutee, wordtectatato a /misuse *ad unequivesel
pledge, made before the etuntry by the man who
has patented his claim to the honor of having given
the vote of Pennsylvania to General Taylor. We
speak not now o: the willful Violation of this and
other pledges by the powersxhat be at Washington;
but, we ask, it it is ant a most humiliating exhibition
to tree the author of this solemn promise leaving his
official duties at Harrisburg to take an actite and
malignant and persecuting part in furthering that
very policy against which he raised his voice before
the November election. Stich is the man now at
the helm of this State! Such is the man that an
indignant people- are longing to hurl from his preP•
mat position into an obscurity .4 perpetual and so
impenetrable that the memory of his deceptions
will alone remain to preserve him from utter ally.
