Mr. Clay's letter meets fully the views of these gentlemen—he:i has unequivocally avowed himself to be the friend of the Tariff 01 1842, 'opposed alike to its repeal or mo lification;' and even goes so far as to declare that he would 'regard its repeal as a great tuitional calamity.' In all this he is perfectly consistent nith whig doctrine, which looks to protection as one of the chief ends of government. But how is it on the other side? What kind of .a fpgure do those gen tlemen make, who, professing to be Democrats, attempt to exact an ontisDculocrirtic pledge from Col. Polk, and failing in theiqurpose, turn about and oppo , te him. It is dear cpul incontrovertible that the Tariff of 1842, is Ott and out, a whig measure; conceived and matuied :in whig congres sional councils, passed mainlyby whig voles ; and designed. in strict accordancd t with whig princi ples, as much for protection as for revenue. This Tariff of 1842, then, being avhig measure, hoW can men, professing to be demperat , , object to Col. Polk because he is opposed' to if! To do so is ,oth unfair and inconsistent. 1 If Col. Polk, bad responded to the interrogatories of. the Dickinson meeting in the same 'spirit of friendship for the pet of 1842 that Mr., Clay, hale done, what would have been the result? Why, Most unquestiona lily, his abandonment by almost , the entire Na tional Democratic party, life could trot have stood a day as the leader ahrt i champion of Dem ocracy after endorsing Ike most unjust and op pressive Adof the Whig Congresi of 1812. lie could no longer have been recognized as a demo crat—and, after the repeated; expressions of opin con against that act which he lias given, watch here well knownto the A'ptional Convention from whom he received his norninalion, and to the people; to whose suppo:t that body recommen ded him, a sudden change from h l ostility to friend altip for the Act of 1842, malt h6ve: lost him the respect as well as the support of the Democratic party from Maine to Georgia. Ho would have been looked upon as a changeling—as a man of weak mind or corrupt princtples--as an ambitious aspirant who was willing to Make any sacrifice for the sake of offices`reputation which lie had acquired only through thd toil and sacrifi ces of.years, would have been iblaSted in a 'moment and forever. Was this the cendition to which the men of Dickinson desired to iedu l ce the candidate of their party? We have a better s opinion of them than to believe so. Why, then, did they 'proceed ;its they, have done? Thei answer is plain—they acted, under the influence of!tvrong impressions. They started out with the idea that the Tariff of 1842 was a democratic measure -:that 'protection was,a democratic principle. i And how came they e - a - to labor under this strange delusion? Need any 1 . .. man ask the question? Why, tens of thousands 2 pf the honest democracy of peniwylvania, are at cr this moment cherishing this same fallacy—and 2 when they come to be convinced that Jaime K. F. yolk is opposed to the doctrine of protection.' like the men of Dickinson, the3qwzil- desert him be., cause they have been led to i believe lhaf.protec 'tion' was a democratic doctrine, and they will rd rfrd Mr .folk's hostility to Protection as an abair onment of democratic prinCipleir. This is one the bitter and blasting rgrults of the deeeptiee and fraudulent course pursired ,by the so called pemoeratic Press of this' Commonwealth ; it is pne of the poisonous fruits of that system of SO IYHISTRY and FALSEHOOD whichAvithout a solitary exception that we know , of, has been re korted to by the travelling orators, and township drill sergeants and whippers in of the party. In stead of avowing the true and longeherished prin ciples of the party, showidg their superiority. over !hose of their opponents, and preparing the minds pf the - people to receive therh as the genuine off spring of the Jeffersonian' creed—LlKE - BASE THIEVES, these editors and orators, have thus ar spent the campaign in "stealing scions front' the Nhig nursery and endeavoring to engraft them on, democratic stocks. Thus; nos a FALSE issue been presented to theidenWeracy by the men in whom they trusted, and vvii,om the principle 'of gratitude for confidenee generously bestowed, lhould have made honest and faithful to the trust. Time and again have we protested against the enti.democratie course pursued by the presses, or ators, and leaders of the democratic party. We have admonished them of the weakness of their policy and the dangers of th'eir course. We have condemned the WICKEDNESS of the FRAUDS they were practising, and infited thorn to return to ;he paths of 'truth and soberness: But our warnings and our admonitions have loon met fby hot and proscriptive denunciation and men Who have scarcely emerged fromiha swaddling clothes o r democracy, have presume , to talk learnedly, to us of the errors and impoliey ',of oar position. . Er. my where else the party catnlidato has been hen esti), supported on party principles; and wherever this has been faithfully and intelligently done, the cause is prosperous. But, here in Pennsylvania, where the false issue was ',nark, and Col Pelk held up to the people, AGAINST TRUTH AND IdONESTY as Me champion of PirdectiOn, and the friend of the ,Tartff ofi'lBi2, re-actions are already taking place; and will . continue, unless wAiglm'ileißtes are sPeeel f ily abandoned, the shameful fikehood so oftea and so deliberately uttered'Agthe Party presses and leaders recanted, 9d genuine democratic prineiples once niore em braced and earnestly propagated.

If any of our loc:ofeco readers question the authenticity of the folio% i4g, they are invited tocall at our office where tey can see, at , any tinae, the paper from which it i s copied: From the Pennsylvonta Stiteitroan of the 19th Inst., =I effect.

Wherever the people haxe been D E CEIV.ED in regard to the trhe sentiments of G ov. -Polk, and the true principle's' of -the,deinocr atic, party, we must expect re-action the moment light datens Kam them, and the IMPOSITION is ex poSed. Such being the danger to be apprehended, we again appeal to the democmcy:of _Pennsylva nia, to the•democracy of our own county. to reject at once the false lights of whig-rtry that hare so intscruprilously been held out, to them as lamp* fiats the altar' fire of Democracy; and to return to the , principle.' of the Fathers which constitute ' at once the ark of our political safety and the cov . enant Of our political peace. • In connexion with this matter. acrd to show the light in which the Tarhf of WU: is vie wed by' the democracy of 'other parts, we commend to the at tention of ourdemocratic readers the annexed ex tracts from speeches recently delivered by the Hon. IC. C. Cambreling and BenjantinlViggins, Esq., at the great Democratic meeting in Castle Garden, New York. Mr.' Cambreling,' speaking of the whip Tariff of, 1842. saidc .Now vre ttave a revenue more than double that which is necessary for the purpoiee of Government. This year the Tariff has yieldell thirty-five mil lionS;eleven millions of which are surplus. Sup pose the Tariff is not repealed, will not thce.i. . cle vgn millions be scattered among the states to cor rupt them, orincite a spirit of over -trading, such as existed in 1836, and. the consequences of which have been felt in . 1837 and 1 . 838?, It must be so. The same cause will always produce the same ef fect.' --Mr. Wiggins remarked:' • 'The question of the era has been BO fullY and So frequently discussed, that I feel as if I need not occupy your time at present 'on that subject. I will simply remark, however * that I c tnnot con ceive why any man should want to pay-$2 instead. of $1; under the Whig protective policy, is ILA ev ery man called upon FO do This! Why should we raise forty millions of dollars *hen twenty mil= lions will answer our purpose! To this question, no plain' emecratic answer can be given. These 'are Sound democratic *he which ought Li be spread among the people of Pennsylvania. LET THE FACT BE EVERY WHERE KNOWN THAT THE k; LE OTION OF JAS. K. POLK WILL BE THE ' SIGNAL FOR THE .REPEAL OF THE WHIG TARIFF OF 1842, and 'all will be well. Attempt to DE CEIVE the people, and all will' be lost.' Mtge, of r . Ltzbor.—We fully coincide with the view's expresed by the Baltimore Clipper, (an in dependent and fearless Journal.). in the following article, Which we •'extract from that paper of Yes ii - terdayr.,- 7 "The most inveterate opponent of the tariff will 'ot avow the sentiments, that the wages paid fur 'American labor should be reduced to the Europe anstandard—and vet such would be the re sult if ]the f protective system should •he abol ished—that is. if the laborers in the United States can obtain employment at all., which is at least doubtful. We know that thousands were unem ployed in 1842, when the duties were reduced to 20 per cent:who would have bcentlad to have ae cepteil even the prices paid in Europe. ,Experi cum is :a severe teaeher,'• and we presume that none of our mechanics or manufacturers de l ire to have the leson of 1812 repeated. If they do, they have only tolend their aid to procure the re-•• peal of the present tariff, and they will again have the opportunity to take their fishing tackle to the wharves, to supply dinners to their families. The difference between the prices paid in.Eti repe and in this country for labor of various kinds, may not tstt generally understood—but the fact - must be evident to all, that, with - out the tariff the manufacturers and mechanics of.the United States, 'cannot successfully compete with those of Europe, unless wagts in this country be reduced to the Eu ropean standard—that is, to the point of starva tion. _ .We give below, a statement from a NeW York paper, which exhibits the American and Europe an prices fer various kinds of labor—and we ap peal to those engaged io the branches named, and ask them, whether they will consent to repeal the. tariff act, and to work for the piiees therein nam ed. Cotton Weavers (men) who now get per day ; 80 cents, must then work for 26 cents. Cotton Weavers (Women) who now get per dayi 33 cents, must work for t 8 cents, Cotton Weavers (girls) wh4 now get 'clay 30 cents, Must work for 10 cents. Bilk Weavers who now get per day 50 cents, mustwork for 11 cents. Spinners who now get per Ib. 10 cents, must work for 3 cents. Ship carpenters who now get per day $1 75, must work for 50 cents. . Brush Makers, who now got per day $l, must work for 20-centi. _ . Hatters, whO now get for silk hats 55 cents muit'Work for 25 cents. Straiv hat makers who now get $1 per hat, must workfor 20 cents. • Pape? Makers (men) who now get per week $B, must work for $1 75. Paper makers (women) I:tito get per week 7.5 must work for 55 cents. Sail makers who now get $2 per day, must work for $1 40. Cordage makers who now get per. day $l, mast work for 16 cents. ShoC makers who now gat per day $1 30. must work for 45 cents. Tailors. who, now get per week $9, must work for $4, Cabinet rnakeis who now get per week $l9; must work for $4. Day lahoters who now get per day 83 rents, must work' for 27 cents. Mal;ers of Iron ware who now get per ton $3O, must worle for $l2. Thus, it Will be seen, that mechanics and manu facturers, with all who depend for a living on ma king, by labor, the raw materials into articles of use, roust reduce the wages of their labor in the retie indicated abiave, or quit the business. The destruction 4 the protective system leaves them no other alternative. Next, let us see how the aggregate annual earn ings of several classes of the laborers would be af fected. Tlie number of persons engaged in each branch 'of business is taken from the census re turns'of 1.840. 4,464 cordage rookery, who ryoW get $1,500,- 000, wOold !then get $240,000- 4,726 paper makers, who now get $3,432,000, would then!get $750,360. The cotton weavers in the United States. who now ,get $19,000,440, would; then get $5,950,- 000. ' • The woolen cloth weavers in the United States, who now get $4,800,000, would then get $1,200,- 000. - The Shoemakers in Massachusetts, who new, get $15.000,000, would then get $5,400,000. The tailors in the United States, who now get $10,720,000, worth] tnen get $0,320,000. The cabinet makers of the United States, who now get $9;360,000, would then get $3,744,000. Mechanics read this list attentively, and then make up your minds, whether you will be.for or sgainst a protective tea: On the one hand, you are offered 'employment. and fair prices—on the other, idleness and ruin; or wages for labor, which will not giVe bread to yourselves and families.— Make your choice which you will have—the con sequences will be felt by yourselves, and those. who are dear to you, - ai *ell as by your country.
