LI .1. C. NE:VILLE, LSI/.
This is a day of national rejoicing, and ae are as
sembled to participate' in the general feeling—a day
which we celebrate in remembrance of that glorious
Declarittion of American lind:pendence which you
have now heard :read by Cul. Baird---a declaration
which has proclaimed and from the principles it con
tains is' destined to extend insure and accompli-h
the univirsal freedom of man. On this day and upon
this occasion a illy passing remarks in relation to it
cannot be inappropriate. When this country was
udder the donut:ion of Great Britain, the govern
ment endeavored to impose taxes upon these colonies
in every respect inimical to their interests, to aid and
support ti:stitutions vvfireb were oppressive and bur
tberisome. At this seemingly unpropitious moment,
o ben the gloom was general, when the tie of filial
all; cuort which bound the colonies to the mother
country was about being rent an unnatural disunion
—the spirit of liberty which had::been through ages
seeking an abiding place—and had but drooped her
wings as she passed u'er other lands, directed by'a
supermtending God, hastened to these shores. Here
.she found breasts ready to receive her. She made
hei home in the hearts of the men of '76. They
animated by her spilt, cheered by the hope, the con
fidence sheAnspired, were enabled to make even the
most / unfavoratile circumstances conduce to their
.‹iiCCess. It i 4.4.1.11 1 .1, 'eta for me to mention ghat he
tory attests. They fought and conquered ; and that
era we may date as Ito dawn of political liberty.
The men who achieved the great work of American
independence, who uttered this matchless declaration
of the rights of man. were eminent fur temperance
and 'moderation in religion, in politics, and especial
ly the mariner of their lives. They h,ve presented
the world with the striking proot of the great good
that may be done by a few temperate, united and ref
solute men. \V hat have they accomplished ! They
have transmiited to the enjoyment of eighteen mil
lions of peopri - teeedorn, an extended country—pus-
Sessed of every variety of climate and of soil—the
blessings of peace, and every element for, the perfec
tion of their present and future happiness. And as
long as America remains a nation, as long as her
name is inscribed en the scroll of time, will endure
their glory and their fame- Shall rye ',y intemper
ance cast aside these blessings which heaven and
earth have united to bestow to otir use, and we trust
for future generations ! No. ILis our duty to leave
[h-m pure--and undefiled to our children. Our de
sire to do so must be manifested by temperance. By
it alone may they be preserved arid perpetuated.—
Unto you. niernbers•of the Pottsville Temperance
S.iciety_, I say that upon this the anniversary of your
i celebration, you have made a declaration which ri
' vals in purity of principle and sublimity of design,
that. ithmortal one of American independence—and
I be who affixes his name to the temperance pledge,
signs a release froin - IrlOfal degradation—a release
1 Iron a the slavery of the soul.. Oh, it is a noble
thought, yet still nobler -Work, to free the mind from
the control of the sensual appetites and passions.
The body inky be, imprisoned, the limbs fettered, but
1 he who retains his reason, and preserves tis mind it
from the trammels of vice and immorality, is alone
truly great and free!. Your presence to-day, your
being members of this association, your ordeey and
1 -cheerful deportment, are proofs that you have done
11.,:5- 7 are indicatiotts of your desires to continue
steadfast in—and of the benefits arising from—tem
perance. S. - 01.11* reverend pastor is to receive your
thanks. To him yOu owe a debt of gratitude, which
you can only repay by firm adherence to the cause
he has espoused with such signal success.
IThe imposition of taxes is the highest and most .
I hateful exercise of Legislative power. It was oppo.
woo to its unjust use that caused these colonies to
'separate from Great Britain. It was to avoid these
intolerable beirthens Of taxes and tithes, which redo.-
_ cad
.) ourselves and families to squalid misery, that
you tied to this country:voluntary exiles from your
native land. Is it not therefore inconsistent with ex.--
cry correct principle of human action, that you
should by intemperance impose a tax upon your.
selves, more pernicious and destructive in its effects,
more demoralizing-and hately than any which des
potism or tyranny might inflict! Such is the tax
intemperance imposes on its votaries.
We learn from the scriptures that God made man
after his o*n likeness—did he make perSonally or
mentally sii 1 Le .suppose the Almighty to have
hands and feel formed as ours, is an absurdity; the
mind alone bears a true similitude With .God. It is
there he has set, up his throne and established his
temple among men. Oh, then, how lamentable are
the thoughts, that we by intemperance Should de
face the linage of 7the great Creator, that we should
desecrate tits temple—that we should prostrate that
'living principle - to a level with the inweit grade of

extent., that excuse cannot he pleaded. If then in

things must he your antidote. I am now about to
speak of our - Country's prosperity. Give three cheers,
as:Dan O'Connell would say, for Repeal and the la

when our countrymen will commence tl e grand
struggle for their rights, their watchword must be

England 'cannot—nay, dare not refuse the just de

Father Nathe•c, O'Connell an others may have
thrown in diet'. mites ; but the Apostle of Temper-
ance alone is worthy of your fullest gratitude and
esteem. Oh, Nlathew, ancient end modern nations
may boast of their warriors, statesmen, moralists, pi
eta, reformers, philosophers and churchmen, but take
them all in one concrete they would not form a char
acter great as thine—thy glory is immarcessible.
Ireland has been held in slavery by intemperance;
this May appear to be a startling statement, the.e l i
-
fore that you may know I do nut make it without
foundation,
,I refer you to the siege of New floss, in
.
1798. Are-there any of the tnegar htll.boys pres
ent I Are :th.ere any of the Croppies here ! If so
let them bear testimony. The facts are as follows:
The British ann . ! occupying Ross were attacked by
the rebel ori.as we would say the patriot army—the
English were defeated and driven from the town
with great loss—the place was invested by the rebel
forces, who had a clear road from thence to the Cap
ital. Giving way to' thewildest excesses el their
joy, they opened the distrlleries—confusion and up
roar for a while prevailed, but at length all was si
lent, and the strong men who bad that morning
fought bravely for their country's freedom were re
duced by intemperance to a •piliable and contempti
ble tuabicility. The English General taking advan
tage of their situation, re-entered the town and plant
ing cannoti at the extremities of the streets, almost
annihilated the rebel army. Oh. if pity ever dropt a
tear,. it fell then. Not aliMe for the awful mariner of
their deaths, but also for the drunkard's eternal doom.
Ten thousand blo,,dy and mangled corpses choked the
streets of Ross on that eventful night. Thus in the
moment or victory Intemperance robbed us of its re
wards.
Our countrymen are about to pass the Rubicon,
let us not forget they are our kindred and friends.
they seek our sympathy, our approbation. They do
not demand as many erroneously suppose a separa
tion from'England. They want the right of freemen
equal rei-Esc:dation. We would be wor=e than
recreant ,traitors, if in their struggle to gain it we
refuse our countenaner; They are about plunging
into the stream' on this side is Intemperance and
Slavery; on that Temperance and Liberty —the pledge
is on their brelists the pure fire of patriotism in their
hearts. And holding aloft,, as they struggle with the
waves, their petition “f Repeal, they will gain the
opposite shore. And as the sounds of victory swell
upon the winds, let America re-echo the shout that
Ireland LS free.
LOOK TO TiOS, PARENTS.-` , If he had brought
me up properly, I should not have been here," were
the last words of Peter Robinson, who was hung in
New Brunswick, (N. Jersey.) for the murder of
Suydam. This monster in the form of a man, had
been perinitted while a,boy to do pretty much as he
pleased. Like too many in the present day, be was
subject to no restraint. Insfead of being made to
work, he was allowed to lounge through the week
and to fish on the Sabbath—and as might have been
expected, he has come to a disgraceful end. Whst
must be the feelings of the father's heart, when his
felon son reproaches him with being the author of
his crime or• ignominy ?
Parerits, remember the dying words of Robinson ;
If he had brought me up properly, I should not
I hare been here."
INPOITAIET MOVEMEST IN CC BA.—Some of the
principal proprietors of agricultural estates in Ha
vana have addressed a spirited memorial to the Cap.
tern General of the Island, praying him to take
prOmpt'and effectual measures fur the suppression of
the Slate Trade. They representthat it is to this
traffic that they owe the displeasure of England, the
efforts of the Abolitionists and the great increase of
the number of their • natural enemies' on the Island.
It says that there are now 660,000 persons of color
on the Island, or about 60 per cent. of the whc•
population. In 1775 the colored population num
bered only 36 per cent. More than this, they state
I that there are 900,000 disciplined free blacks' in
Hayti at the disposal of England, 400,000 on the
South of Jamaica. 12,000 in the Bahama Archipel

PIIOSPERITY OF FRAACE-11E13,--rite
• : TECTIVE sysTEkt../
The following, from the Harristurg Inteltigencer,
we commend to the attentron of our readers. It is n
' triumphant refutatiod of the free trade doctrine, that
• the protestion<f demesne industry increases the
I )
rice-t - d the consumer.
r
A few years ago, we imported annually a consid
erable amount of specie from France. But ❑ow,
owing to the high French Tariff, the balance of
trade is against us some $16,000,000 imilually. By
the secretary of the Treasury's Report of 1840, we
find that Cotton, Tobacco, arid Whalebone, are. al
most the only articles the French purchase of us—
all our other produttions being excluded
tory duties. In 1839, the total value of our extorts
to France, including $661,598 of specie, was only
$l5 966,149, while our imports of French goods
amounted to $32,531,321. There has been about
the seine balance against us since 1833. Of the six
hundred millions of bushels of wheat, rye, oats, and
barley, raised annually in the Cutted States, France
purchases not a bushel. Of the productions of our
forests and our mines she takes nothing, and of our
manufactures she has no need. Cotton she mils/
have, and, she therefore took from us, in 1839, an
amount valued at '13,323,142„ Our Tobacco she
taxes ten times its %alue, and takes less than one
million of dollars worth annually. We stiller tilts
heavy balance of trade against us by our own fully,
admitting as we du twmthirds of all the products of
France free of duty. In 1839, we admitted French
silk and worsted goods du'y free, to the amount of
$19,145,127.
The effect of the French protective system may
Le seen from the following facts taken from a sum
mary of .a report laid belore the Chamber of Peers
by the Minister of Commerce. We are indebted for
this summary to Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for
June. In 1829 the imports of France amounted to
$123,300,000, and the exports to :120,000,000. In
1839 the imports were $189,000,000, and the ex
ports were $200,000,000, being nearly doubled in
ten years. French navigation has increased in the
same , proportion. The French tonnage in 1829 was
647.000 tons, and in 1839, 1,200,000.
Domestic produce has increased in a similar pro
portion. The French coal mines produced but 1,-
700,000 tons in 1829, and in 1839, 3,000,000 of
tons. If, says the Minister of Commerce, we pass
from coal to iron, we find that in the year 1828,
France poss ssed 393 furnaces, producing 200,000
tons of cast iron, and 1205 furnaces for refining, ma
nufacturing annuady 150,000 tons of iron. lii 1839,
France possessed 975 furnaces which produce an-.
nually 347,700 tons of cast iron, worth $12,000,000,
and 1500 furnaces for refining, producing 224,000
tons, worth :18,000,000.
The French manufactures have increased in a si
milar manner during the last ten years. Lyons has
increased her silk looms from 27,000 to 40,000, and
the exportation of silk stuffs, which amounted in
1829 to only $22.000,000, reached in 1839 to :28.-
000,000. The exportation of woolen goods amount
ed in 1829 to only $5,500,000. In 1839 it increased
to :11,000.000 ! and the export of cotton goods in
creased during the ten years from $8,600,000 to an
amount valued at $l5 600,000.
This increase of manufactures has had the effect
which they always have in every country where they
are protected :—the price has beek reduced to the
consumer, and not increased according to tree trade
philosophy. Bar iron has been reduced one-third in
price, and woolen and cotton goods nearly one-half.
What then is the duty of the American Congress
in reference to a nation that excludes our produc
tions by high protective duties, and takes nothing
from us but our cotton and our bpecse, unless it be
a swill portion of our tobacco, on which she lays a
tax of 500 per cent ! We now purchase more than
two-thirds of all her silk exportations, and these come
in duty tree. Let us lay opal . ) French silks coun
tervailing duties, until she opens her ports to our
agricultural prodoctioni. Ifiit increases the price of
silk goods, those who wear them can afford to pay
the duly. It will oblige France tc take American
produce, for the cotton she must have, or give us spe
cie, and it will build up our silk business now in
its infancy. This will he better l than raising a reve
nue of five millions of dollars on tea and coffee, which
are necessaries and trot the luxuries of life.

LIFE OF TECUMSEH
A life of this celebrated chieftain, by the late Ben

had bestowed infinite pains in the investigation. of
the character of thts famous Indian warrior, and the
pages of the volume teem with anecdotes illustrative
of his bravery, generosity and heroism. We extract
a few of them for the amusement of our readers,

Tecumseh's darling project to unite all the tribes of
the South and West in the defence of their lands.—
To accomplish this, ha visited Arsonally every tribe,
engaging each in his plans, andOxing a day when a
blow was to be struck, simulaiieuusly, along the
whole of the confederacy nhich he sought to esialr

On his-return from Florida, he went among the
Creeks in Alabama, urging them to units with the
Seminoles. Arriving at Tuckhabatchee, a Creek
town on the Tallapoosn river, he a.ade his way to
the lodge of the chief called the Big Warrior. .He
explained his eXieet,ileliv.?.red his war-talk, presented
a bundle of sticks, gave a piece of wampum and a
hatchet, all of which the Big Warrior took. %N hen
Tecuinseh, reading the intentiuni and spirit of the
B:g Warrior, looked ham iu the eye, and pointing
lais finger towards his face, said
4 .1 - our blood is white ; you havi3 taken my talk
and the sticks, and tLe wampum and the hatchet,
but you do not mean to fight ; I know the reason .
you do not believe the Great SpWit'has sent me
you shall know : I leave Tuckhabatchee directly,
and shall go straight to Detroit : when I strive there
I shall stamp on the wound with my foot, end shake

he turned and left the Big Warrior in utter amaze
ment, at both his manner and his threat, and pm
sued his tourney. Ths Indians were struck no less
with his conduct than was the Big Warrior, and be
gan to dread the arrival of the day w hen the threat
ened calamity would befsl them. They often met
and talked over this matter, and counted the
carefully to know the time when Tecumseh would
reach Detroit. The morning they had fixed upon.

- IMPORTANT LETTER.
The following letter, from Judge Henke, wilt fksi
read witti'much interest. It wee addressed to a com
mittee, appointed at a public meeting, in Allegheny
county, fur the purpose of asking the sentiments of
the Harrison candidate on the stilled of the (motet-1W
principle. The letter is full or that frapkness fod
which the Judge is distinguished, end, we ate cer•
taitiNpeaks the sentiments of a large Majority.of the
cititens of Pennsylvsnia:'
'GEN - lirllEN: I received yonr letter on Saturday
evening'," in which resolutions of the DeMocratio
citizens of Allegheny County were enclosed. By
these resolutiona-my opinions and Views ifi - ielatiori
to the OnO Term . principle are required, and to'
this demand I now :pre a hasty and brief reply.
That our State Eiecutiie should• bo limited to
One Term, is an opinion which I have lung enter
tained. In observing the operations of our system
otGoveinment. the necessity of this principle was
suggested to my mind, and has become more appa
rent by the practice of every day. Su fully was I
convinced of its practical utility, that I urged its
introduction and adoption, to More than one mem.
be of the late Convention to amend the Constitution
of our State Although this amendment was not
then made, the public demonstrations in its favor
are now so strong, that there remains no doubt of
its adoption, as part our Constitution, as speedily
as the necessary forms %ill permit. 0,
As regards the presidency of the United States.
I look upon the One Term principle as having been
firmly settled by the election of General Harrison :
and that in the opinion of the Democracy of the
ef.,9nirv, it is now as sacred and unchangeable. a.
if it !tinned part of the written Constitution
co. 29
Whether we regard the welfare and happiness of
the Slat.', nr the purity of our elections, the propri.
e i y of the cim principle is equally urgent.
When an individual has been placed in the high.
est Executive office in the state. this salutary limit
should be placid to his ambition. Then there will
be nothing lift for him to 4101 but the discharge of
the duties of his high station for the public good.
His own fair fame, the lasting esteem of his fellow
citizens, and the happiness and prosperity of the
country %%ill then receive his undivided attention.
Ills deliberations will be no longer distut bed, nor
his honest purposes and judgment distracted or
suppressed by ahuous reflections whether a meas•
ire will iner,asc or diminish his vote at the next
c teflon. 'Muse considerations ore always exceed-
ingly annoy log to the individual, and prejudicial
to the public interests.
This One Term principle will' do much to relieve
the Executive from all undue party obligations, and
the power of every improper semtonal influence. It
ss ill put a termination to the too frequent, and often
violent contests between the office-holders and the
people, by which states, and even whole countries
are sometimes most deeply convulsed. It accords,
also, with the principle of rotation in office, which
! gives to our well digested system of democracy the
most valuable advantages over every other form of
•
government.
This One Term doctrine haa:my mostdeciderl ap
probation I have laid it down as a fit rule for the
government of others. arid under all circumstances
will be willing to conform to it myself.
Yours, .5-e. JOHN BANKS:
