Knowing and feeling this,- the whale conduct of this paper has been regtta teal with an. eye. sing l e to the welfare of the com munity.; mid never has that zeal been more fully entertained and ezpressed than by the course it has taken in relation to the great Tariff question now before the country.

Tdere are men of billions , dispositions, and weak minds. in this world, who are always ready to cavil at, and find fault with any popular measarc-, which their Contracted- intellects and narrow-souls, can neither understand or appreciate. Such men are tb'be found everywhere,' and • always form an im pediment to every good and great undertaking that has ever yet been projiaCted.. The obstacle how ever is a trivial one, and thanks to the general in telligence and correct feeling of the community— . this class of people always remain in the minori ty, and are thus left in bitter solitude to reap the fruits of their own unhappy propensities. It is well known to all, that the Tariff question has ceased to be a political, Ind is becoming an Amer lean question—that it is now looked' upon as a national measure, necessary for the national safety. end that the patriotic influence of all accts is now strongly ezerCised in its favour. It is a common thing at the piesent day, to see the leaders of both political parties uniting their energies, and strug gling together nobly and manfully under the broad banner of protection. The conviction, strong as certainty, has come borne to the breasts of all— that upon this n3easure i 'depends the whole of our security and independence as American citizens, s' sail consequently, good and wizimon in the com munity; have thrown aside all feeling otperty bi - 4000 as pure pstriets,heve devoted their OM tions for the protection of thh common weal. These are noble and worthy.: motive,, end ore those which should ,govern in cases of great extremity. such as the present, and invariably, when the evil is-een'in and 'hammed,' possible. Ho who sin cerely believes that a,tariff is not of vital impor . mince to the protection , of American manufactures end American industry, is sadly misisiten in his course of political reasoning—and he who says that a Protective T'ariff on Coal and Iron is not necessary for the preservative and safety of this :region, is lamentably and. foolishly ignorant of its interests and its history.

'He is confident that, in point of politicid knowledge—of acquaintance with the-his. tory Olds country, snOtivrer of judgment, ho is superior ; end, ignorant of the reeson, ascribes it, to some mysterious innate excellence which as hei supposes is natural to the race...._ s _Nuthine, is more. eas) to understand and explain than this Tact.' There has existed in this country a h#mony be tweed commerce anti the government'which makes such a - result inevitable. In this country livery man is s voter—thin is a right which the, consti. tution guarantees to him; biti inflame* si far:as the election of officers go, powerful as the wealthiest and greatest in the land; and it is ne cessiry that he should possess a considerable share of knowledge, and judgment, BO as to be able to vote judiciously. Feeling himself to be an integ ral part of the sovereign power, he makes an exer tion to procUre, that knowledge, and here the har mony is made strikingly manifest. The policy of this government has been,-heretofore, to encour age the price of labor; and the increase above the Price of European labor has furnished him with the means of enlighteuing himself. This it is, that enables him to live comfortably and independ eroly—try educate ,his children so that they may be fitted to.accupy at station in the scale of socie ty, higher than he enjoys; and that allows him to look for ard in anticipation of a happy future of wealth and perhaps distinction. No such bright prospects gild the expectations of the European laborer; his days drag on in wearied toil, the products of which barely enables him with the Most rigid economy to slip through life securely ; his enjoyments are ell curtailed—his educatiOn ne glected, and his children, by reason of his pover ty, pre forced to tread the path he himself duis traversed. Few laborers in Europe are voters, , be. cause very few are free-holders, the means for ac quiring information are far beyond their reach, and a feeling of dependent inferiority is "experien ced by all. It is generally admitted, for it is a fact as plain as the noonday sun, that the practical effects of a reduction of the tariff duties, will, of necessity, be a reduction of the prices oflahor ; it must be evi dent to every-thinking mind that this result is unavoidable. American manufacturers, will not stop as long as competition can be maintained, and as the cost of foreign 'goods in our market decreases, so will the rates of wages decrease, or otherwise- their chance for competition is gone- Let the laborer ponder well over these truths, for they are all plain unvarnished facts—let him-ex amine and enquire closely into, the effects above described, and then say whether he will lend his voice, and his influence, to mature that measure— which -would take from him his present inde pendence, and, through poverty, make him the servile slave of the powerful and wealthy. POSTAGE.—The Post Master . General, (who by the bye is an excelleilt officer, and deserves the thanks of the community for the reforms he has already introduced into this:Pepartment of the Government) has suggested to Congress the pro peiety of fixing the rates of postage at 5, 10, 20, and 25 cents, instead of the old rates 61, 12,1, 181, and-25 cents. He also recommends that news papers of a. certain size pay one cent postage— and those of a larger class to pay an additional cent for every five square inches over add above the designated number of inches. In connection with thir subject, Mr: - Henry, of Pennsylvania, introduced the following resolution in -the House of Representatives, which was a. dopted : "'Resolved, That the Committee on Post Offi ces and Post Roads, tn,graduating the rates of postage or. newspapers, as recommended by the Postmaster General in lies report, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of abolishing all charge for postage on politic newspapers, when conveyed by mail within the limits of the county where they are printed or published." • This is en important resolution, and commends itself to the support of the country press through out the whole country. Let the editors speak out on the subject at once—and if not accom plished at this Session—let candidates for Con gress hereafter be catechised by the press, and they refuse to support the measure, let the pre i Ss refuse to support them ; and our word for it, the resolutions can be carried; without much difficul ty. e PEOPLE I MOVI xo.—There was despatch ed from this region,in the beginning of the week, a•Petition to Congress, about fifty feet in length, asking for an increase of duty on Foreign Coal. So strong is the feeling on this subject in this region, that the signatures were all obtained in four or five days. With proper exertions the number of signatures could have been doubled.— This petition is believed to'be the largest present ed to Congress durittg the present session—and the signatures to oar petitions of a similar character are pouring i to our office every day.

We understand that the oath of office was administered to him in his sick room on Tuesday morning; the Court it is believed will soon be opened. as the Judge is fait recovering from his illness. ' - TUE C►ss PAMPIILET.—GOVCITIOT Case has issued a pamphlet concerning the right of search which - has created quite a sensation in Europe. It is expected that it will defeat the projected alli ance between France and England (already at tempted by the latter) in relation to this subject. The House of Representatives at Washington has passed a vote of censure•on Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, for presenting some anti-slavery resolutions on the subject' of the Creole case. Mr. Giddings immediately resigned-- and will no doubt be re elected by acclamation in his district.

At the Five Points where a society had been some time in existence, the scene was a cheering one; we u nderstand that nearly the whole meeting was enrolled as members.. If hglecturers are both me chanies, and reformed druUkards--in'the course of their addresses one mentioned that he had been a drunkard for twenty years anJ the other for fifteen ; during one of their Meetings in this place about fifty persons. belangi c rig to the Mechanics' Assn- elation, came forward in a body and subscribed themselves members on the total abstinence prin- ciple. In addition to all this, the feeling seems to have become an universal one—the females of our Borough met together a few evenings since, and the number of nearly one hundred signed the pledge. Among those who have taken it in this place are some, who have been fur many year. habitual drinkers, as well as many who have never been addicted to the use of intoxicating draughts,. and who have thus endeavored, by the force of their individual example, to wean the inebriate from his poisonous cup. We highly approve of this course of popular lectures ; and, reasoning .from the success which has already attended their efforts, we would advise our citizens, and ell those who feel an interest in the happiness and welfare•of the community, to endeavor to retain them -among us until every vestige of the curse is swept away frOm our region; and in after years, many men, now rescued from the brink of destruction, will bless the influence that induced them to become members of the temperance society. They have thrown from off their souls, the threatened agony of a sorrowful future, and can now took forward to the goal of life with a happy, untroubled, and tranquil eye— God speed the good work ! SINC mum—This is a virtue possessed by ve ry few iu this world, and yet it is that which is most vaunted of, acd which all think they possess in an eminent degree. Insincerity then being a great principle of human action, (whence it arose, or how, we leave wiser heads to determine) men of the - present day, whose natural dispositions bend toward open truth and candour, are furred for the benefit and safety of their own happiness, to be (in wordsat least) insincere; that in the general fellowship and intercourse between man and man, others shall never possess an undue advantage over them. They learn that to live quietly and securely in the world, they must go through it armed and shielded like the rest, and also that he is the conqueror in the great aruggle of life ; whose sword is the keenest and whose buckle' the tough est. Lo.iking around us we cannothelp but see, that those men who look upon the world as a wide Eden of truth, and upon man as the worthy im age of his Creator—who Idok upon all as candid, honest, sincere and worthy of confidence, in fine, those who trust all; are sincere with every one--- who never prevaricate—never secrete or disimulate —that these very men seeing the fault and error in the principle they pursue—having their confi dence betrayed—their kindly feelings blunted by ingratitude and want of sympathy, afterwards be. come through necessity most insincere, and hide all their better motives under the impenetrable shell of dissimulation. But there are moments when this beautiful yet, unhappy-feeling will burst from its cold dead. prison house, flash and scintil_ lite fur a moment in all its wonted brightness, and then (reason returning) cower back again as if ashamed and fearful of the advantage-given by thud yielding to ats dangerous impulse. Toy Pacintao Pitocess.—We gave our read ers, a short time since, edam of the " beauties of loco-focoism," in the shape of the expenditures of the last Congress, for 'Stationary, &c.

The contents of this report are not yet fully known, but there are some items which 1 have heard.epoken of, and which I will mention as furnishing some idea of the general character of the disclosures.

PENNSTILVANIA LIiCIISLATURE.- We see by our Harrisburg papers that the House has poised a resolution agreeing to .adjourn on the sth of Apiikand to meet again In extra session on the sth of June. This measure is entirely uncalled for, there is nothing to warrant the expense of e special session, and the people generally will op pose it. The election of Congressmen can he de layed one year. and the apportionment" made next session. Should our legislature still persist in the intention to hold on extra session, meetings should be called, and the people at once, and with one voice ought to forbid it. TIEIE RKSUMPTION. --The Philadelphia Gazette states that five Of the Banks in that city, received on deposit last Saturday, specie and specie pay ing funds to the amount of $135,000, and only paid out about $38,000 in specie. There is a , healthy feeling abroad on this subject. So far there has been .no disposition on the part 'of the community to oppress !the Banks, but on the con trary 3here is a strong feeling prevalent to aid them, and make the resumption permanent.

Riour or PETITION.—In was a custom with most of the Roman Emperors, to present'them selves before the populace at stated tittles, and re ceire, with respect, the petitions of the meanest of their subjects. And a gentleman lately inform ed us that a few years since he saw the despotic sovereign of Turkey, the late Sulton Mahmoud, when riding on horseback through the streets of Constantinople, repeatedly stoop from his richly caparisoned Steed, and receive,-with an air of kind ness, petitions from poor women, and others of his subjects, belonging to the humbler classes. And how is it in Republican America! How is it, in the Congress of the United States—in that branch whose members are chosen by the people, especially to represent their interest, make known their grievances, and act in their behalf! Memorials by scores, asking for nothing which it would be improper in Congress to grant, are al most every day contemptuously refused a recep tion ! But a few days since, a memorial was sent to Congress on the subject of protection to colored seamen of the North, in Southern ports. And, according to the correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial, it was summarily disposed of in the following style: "Mr. Roosevelt-4 rise, Mr. Speaker, to pre sent the petition of sundry most respectable and intelligent ship-owners of the city of New York, praying Congress,' dec., and going on to state the facts alluded to. The Chair—'(without waiting the motion, but taking it for granted that such would be made) , The question of reception is raised upon this petition ; and it is moved to lay that question up on the table. Gentlemen ! as many as are in fa vor of this motion, say aye ; those opposed, say no. The ayes have it.' " And this is the treatment which the petitions of the people receive from their Representatives in Congress ! Boston' Jour. • Tua TIMES ♦T TIIF WEST —The.Editur of the Cincinnatti Republican presents a painful con trast between present and former times in the Queen City of the West. lie says that hereto fore, under a benignant and j•tdictous credit sys tem. all kinds of business prospered, and labor was well rewarded• Plenty of food and raiment, and a plain but substantial and well situated house and lot, were the almost certain wages of a eir.cinnatti mechanic for some two or three years' industry. But now, under a power in the State which seeks to destroy all confidence, the whole paper system is being abolished, and gold and silver are alone to circulate as money. And. as one of the effects of this system upon the• labor of the working man, he relates the following : o A gentleman assured us that he wasyesterday called upon by a muster carpenter—one under whose inspection have been erected some or the best specimens of architecture in Cincinnatti—to engage the work of repairing a building. Wht n answered that money was scarce and almost im possible to be bad, the worthy man expressed a willingness to take it at such a price as woiald barely afford him fifty cents a day ! Work he must have, f,r he had eight children that could not live without eating. Ay, and this is far from being an isolated case ! There are, al this lime, hundreds of wcrking men in Cincinnatti who have heretofore teen receiving from $ 1 50 to $ 2 50 per day, and plenty of employment, thrown en tirely out, or forced to work for what will barely furnish marketing ! Such is the change of situa tion of the working men of Cincinnati, brought a bout by wicked legislation." DISGRACEFUL.-011 Tuesday afternoon, on the Germantown ftotd, near Master sireet, a number of persons, male and female, were eorgregatcal for the purpose of attending the funeral of a into, who it appears about three weeks since, had left the Protestant faith and joined the Catholic church. About the time the procession was to he formed, the brOther of the deceased, who is a Protestant, with great violence tore from the coffin the cross, which uniformly is placed upon the coffins ofd.- ceased CatNalics. This' act produced a general fight, which lasted for some time and threatened tho most serious con-erpiences, but which w as fi• nally subdued by Alderman Clark, not however until some of the parties were a good deal brutsed, and the clothing of others nearly torn to pieces.— IWirth American. RETnEsreirmrour.—On this subject the New Hampshire Courier has the following : "We trust all parties will un to in one thing in selecting candidates fir the nest Congress, and that is, let no man of any party be supp •rtcd who is not in favor of reducing the mileage of members 50 per cent., and their per diem pay, ^5 per cent This would g'v , , a member of Clngress from this place to Washington, $lOO, while it would re quire two days of time, and $1.7 of his money, thus giving him $8 for two days' ride, or $4l 50 per day.

Elt.syszniiass..rr.—Every American knows that the name of Blanoerhassett became famous for his supposed connection with Aaron Burr in his onterprize in BOG. The plantation of this man, on an island in the Ohio river, was broken up, at the time; and himself and wife driven from a hoiue beautified and adorned by wealth and in dustry. That wife is now in New York, depend ent upon the chari'y of strangers for subsistence. She has just presented a petition to Congress fur redress and indemnification. In the U. S.

MEE EZENIESE . . [CON[XF/15.!CATED.] Tut Caaots Cast.—An article in the Nadi sonian;remarking upon the debate in the House of Lords, on the case of the Creole, says; that the remarks of Lord Aberdeen, and the other Lords, “were founded entirely upon the principle, uni versally admitted to have been established by the law of nations, that in the absence of treaty stip. Illations to that effect, no power has a right to de. manci, of another the restitution of criminal fugi tives from Justice." The same doctrine, the writer remarks, is constantly held by the Su preme Court of the United States, but he adds, "this doctrine does not dispose of, and, indeed does not touch the case of the Creole. In that case, the United States has made no demand for the restoration of fugitives from justice, and con sequently makes no complaint of the refusal of such demands." This reduces the question mainly to one of in demnification, and throws out of it many of those considerations which would most threaten the tranquility of our foreign relations. The article in the Madisonian, it is understood, is from the pen of th Attorney General, and may be regard ed as. sho*.ing - , the position of the Cabinet in re. ferrence to the matter in question. Much than_ der against the Secretary of State has, consequell t. IY, been thrown away-- 7 1540-14 American. Lean Asuntrairox's arrival is .now expected every hour ; and we learn that Her Majesty '4 consul has taken as elegant suite of apartments for his lordship's accommodation at the Astor House.

Anticip Ming that the calls ul on his lordship, whose American alliance and for tncr residence in this country arc yet rememberd, will be numerous, Mr. Buchanan has engaged an ante-room for the reception of company, that the awkward inconvenience of compelling gentlemen to wait standing in the hall may be avoided.—N.

We are t 'ld that the aver referred to has never been frozen over before, "in the memory of the oldest inhabitant." "W 5 'have had uncommonly cold weather here since 'Christmas. The neighboring mountains are all 'covered with snow. Ice has 'been made in the houses, 'and the river Goudaloiedina has brot frozen 'veer.' Suiecns.—Mr. John F. Browning. merchant tailor at Philadelphia, cominitted suicide on Thin-. day by cutting his head nearly from his body with a large Spanish knife. He had taken all and laid carefully away his watch, cravat, coat and vest. He was greatly embarrassed in his pe cuniary affairs. In his pocket was found a slip of paper with the following upen it: My last request is, that my Creditors will let my wife'retat n her furniture, and tluit her friends and the public will regard her situation andassist her through her trials." Extract of a Letter dated BOSTI)V, March 17, 1812 The religious interest here is deep, beyond all precedent. It is difficult to credit what is said of the convicts at the State prison, in Chariest , wri ; yet in the opinion of those connected with the prison, not less than one half of them appear to have become real christians.
