Philadelphia , exchanges, that the hiends'ortbe•Penosylvanisi Railroad in that city, are now moving forward with more than their accustomed energy. This is right. The Phila delphians know what is their truelpterest—they are determined to apply all their energies to se cure the completion of this greet work to Pitts burgh, without the least delay. Our own citizens are also alive .tti the importance of the Central Railroad, and are now heartily co-operating with the good people of Philadelphia, in their efforts to complete the link between the Delaware and the Ohio. There is one important fact, which of itself Ishould make every man who has the feast interest in the Central Railroad, bestir himself at this time. The Baltiniore . and Ohio hailroad, throughout its entire length, froM the Monumental City to the Ohio river, at Wheeling r is to be put under imme. (hate 'contract, Th6e is not a doubt but that it is the intention of this latter Company N head Philadelphia—Unity can't ..Ohio is now "in the Market," (to use a metctitigle phrase) and is rea dy to unite with the Company which reaches that State first, and hOlds out - to f hei the greatest iiadoce- Militia. This matter i 1 rert"in • enasylvuniana l'Pittsburgberkl.now is the time :fcit you to act. Now is the' time to show your liberality. Shall the immense trade and travel of the States of Oh•o, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, &c., be brought to our own city and State' or shall they go to Baltimore? That is the ques tion now to be decided ! All those who wish to defeat the latter scheme, should open their purse strings and subscribe liberally to the great Central Railroad, and the continuation of the eamethrough the State of Ohio to Massillon, Mansfield, and Cincinnati. Such subscriptions will not be money thrown away. The stock 'will be very valuable , end in a few years wily pay handsome dividends. Arouse then,—arouse friends,—and let us head Baltimore! We an do it "like a whistle!" Protection. The Journal has this week favored us with two leaders on the subject of the Tariff. The first app peered on Wednesday. In it the Editor attempted to show that the Washington Union's correspondent .‘ Prentice , ' had made two mistakes ; ono of which might have 'been a typographical errors but the other was intentional, or something worse. We read the leader in question twice, and for oar life we could not.see that the Editor bad made out any thing favorable to the cause he so earnestly advo cates. The bulk of the article was an argument to prove that British iron never did and never will come to Pittshairgb I. Theo What do you want protective dirties for t The second leader appeared yesterday. In this effort the Editor contends that it is not true that pro teetion to iron increasea ECa coet. Now we think Andrew Stewart said in the Convention that it would. He did say, hi .thunder , tones, thatprotec lion would advance prices: and gave a reason for it, viz : If there be no' advance in prices there would be no protection. The very object of protection ie an .advance pricea., . • But let ue be understood. We believe that the ul- timite result of a protective tariff on iron would be to 'reduce prices. :In this way : In consequence of the editions whicV would take place at first, capital would rush into the business, and of course a vigor- Competitionwould ensue,and prices would com down' on account Of a :glutted market. Now, what followsit Depressica • The Milloll3lthetop.

We have not done so. He is one of the last men in this community against whose private character we would say aught. We regard him as an honorable, amiable and bones man. At least we have no eridenee to the COIF trary. But we adhere to all we meant to say, viz: that his democracy witi'doubted ; that he wee unpopu • tar with the people; that he is, in our view, a whig in principle. That he advoiates the whig doctrine of Protrc tion is not denied. This he has a perfect right to do. We oaly intend that, when he says the Democrats are the friends of a Protective tariff; the people have no right to believe him. - . That Judge Sheler has done thedemocratic par ty greatservice as a speaker we cheerfully concede. The best speeches of the campaign of '4O were those deliiered by him. But the remembrance of the good he has done in the past will not par. chase indulgence for the present. A man to deserve the support of the democracy most pot consistency in his bill of claims. There is one other matter to which we may as well allude. We gave utterance to an impression that Judge Shale, was, in his younger days, bitter ly opposed to the late war with Englund. It is .now denied bybitn. He also denies that be ever used such an expresaion as this;. hope the bones of the American soldiers may bleach upon the shore's of Canada." We have nu disposition to urge this against him in the face of his disclaimer. We have a right, however, to complain that be never before gave the public a denial of the charge.

AantrAL REPOILT of the Commissioner of Patente for 1848. We are indebted to the Hon. Jon MAIM, Repre sentative of the Bedford district, for a copy of the a bove valuable and interesting Report, just issued from the press of Messrs. Wendell & Van Beathuysen, printers to Congress. Like every thing from the pen of the Hon. Enatunn Bunitn, the late Commissioner, it is exceedingly able. The printing and binding, however, are most wretched, and are an eternal disgrace to the country. Congress ehoald at once employ competent printer/4 and pay them full price°. In 1845, however, the benefit of this protection to labor was manifested in Pittsburgh in the most substantial way. The wages of the operatives were thought to low, and, as the mills were ron. orders abundant, owners prosperous, la bor valuable, because of this state of things, the opsratives demanded and obtained an increase in the rates of wages of 20 per cent.—Journa/. ozy. The Printers have obtained an increase in their wages of more than 20 per cent. without a tariff, by organizing a society and making a strike. The iron " operatives" got their advance in the same way. We, see nothing remarkable in all this. On Saturday last, Horace Ore°ly, Ettg., pass ed through this place in extreme haste on his way to Washington, kle had come up the river to Wheel ing, and as be had been delayed on the river until the daily line of stages had left the last mentioned place, he was Carried by. express until the stages were overtaken--five miles west of Uniontown.

Attempt at Negro Stealing In Alabama. The Camden Mirror, a paper published in Wilcox county, Alabama, records an ingenious ploxfor run ning off a valuable negro, the prompter ciflyhich has not yet been detected. The slave, who is a black smith, made hie way by land to Blakely, on the east ern aide of Mobile Bay, where he crossed to Mobile in the mail-boat. On landing at the wharf he was arrested, whereupon he produced a • 6 pass,” signed by a fictitious name, and a letter addressed to Mr. Tho. Leceane, commission merchant, requesting that gentleman to take charge of him until further orders. To Mr. Lecosne the name was unknown, but the ,writer referred , him to a Mr. Gregory, of Butler county. About two weeks afterward*, Mr. Leceane received another letter with the same signa ture, directing him to send the slave to New Orleans, to some agents, to bo delivered to the pretended owner, when claimed. Mt. Lecesne 6 s suspicions were excited—he wrote to Mr. Gregory, and receiv ed a reply disclaiming all knowledge of the parties or the affair. The owner, Major 'Meurer, of Wil cox, in the meantime got trail of the property and recovered it. The negro all the time persisted in the story es related in the letter: It is a pity that the 'negro had not been' tbrwarded, accordieg to in structions, that the rogue might have been caught, jtagrante delictu.—Asia Orieens Crescent. 0: -j• The Iron Masters recently held a National Convention at Pittsburgh, the object of which was to frighten or force Congress to modify the tariff so as to give them a greater amount of protection. The affair is represented as an abortion, and these men will find that their efforts to resuscitate the old protective policy of wbiggery, for the benefit of a few bloated capitalists, wont take in the age of progress—the middle of the nineteenth century. They have spoken altogether n too late." The . Ovular current sets in entirely a contrary direr• tion.
