. DOINGS AT COI'RT.--The December Term or our
Court, commenced on Monday last, and since that time,
Orreigsborg has been Thronged tr.. ithlawyers, litigants,
witnesses and spectators. .
An unusual number of criminal cases, have come be.-:
tforelhe Court at its present'session—more we, believe
.than at any previous time.. A great many emirs of-sore
zly of theipeane and assault and liatterythave been ,
,returitedM Court. The Grand Jury very'properly ig-
;wed several trifling bilks, which never ought to have
come before Court, making the prMmcutorn pay the
cos's. It is found that as the - population of the Coal
Region increases, no too does eritne, and the cause of
ibis IncreaSe,of crime is to be found in the number of
tippling shops Which areacatMred throughout our re
lion. It is impossible to guess how many such estab

borhood of .the principle collie - ries in the county.--
Their name is legion. -

opposition in this region, and,wedo not think that
any objections will be made by consumers at a dis
tance.
Jn order that the, project may be forivarded as
much as possible, vc•e suggest the expediency of
immediately preparing memorials to the Naviga
tion and Rail Road Company, requesting them to
add one cent per ton to their regular toll, for the
purpose of raising funds to erect and endow the

shows his consistency by taking the same
ground that he occupied, in the campaign Of i 18 4 ,1,
and from which he has never moved. It is true that
the leaders of the,Locofoco party made efforts in
that campaign to prove Polk as good a Tariff,man
as Henry Clay. It is also true that they succeed

• We' are not surprised at the Course Pursued by
the
.President. He has ' done just as we anppesed
he would. He has acted out the princirles which
he prpfessed before his election; and has done ex.
act& tvhat the Locofocos ought to have ixpected
him to do. presume that those o r region
did expect something of the kind, for alley took
the precaution to cut down all tho pot which
had Locofocu flags with Protective Tariff' Mottoes•
upon them, of which there was a large nnmber in
our region. They have removed frur4 public
view - these proafs of the deception they' inacticed
upon the
. People, but their falsehoods ate not for-,
gutten,_nor will they be.
The President is'in favor of a .slle4entte Tariff,
with incidental protection." That is to Say, he is
in favor of such a Tara as W l l l , toget 6 r ) wilfiTihe
pioceeds of sales of the public lands, afford a re.
venue sufficient to.rneet the wants of gevernment.
Suppose a Tariff law of this 'kind' t*be _passed,
What would the effects be.
The amount of money proceeding, (rein the sales
of the public lands varies eery year, arid accord
ing to the doctrine of the . President, we should
have to vary the Tariff at every sessiOrt,iaf
Con
'gress. In the year 1836, the amount) of money
rcceieved' from the public lands was over .ticenty- .
four millions of dollars, and in aJO years an
equal sum might flow into the,Natiortal Treasu
ry front the same source: It is not byi any - means
impossible that the sales of the Piablic:Lands, for
one year should reach 'such an amount that the
whole of the'annUal enenes of the government
could be paid from them. .In such a case, where
would be the Protective features, Of the Revenue
Tariff.?
There can belittle stability in any Tariff which
is co ~.•..alteretl whenever it does itot., conform to
the 107.riue Standard, while at the same time the
Prot44.ls of the Sales of the public ,Lands, are
allotAed to go for the support of .f.; . overnment.—
But remove the Land fund lean, the Nationat

to'depend entirely on' duties for revenue. Ag the
evils which would result from a Iltictuating tariff
could be avoided and the revenue: adapted to the
exigencies of;Governrnent by placing duties upon
articles which are admitted free, Or by removing
them from those which. do not come into comp.
titian with,pur own Manufactures;
The President opposes the Tariff of 1842 on
the ground that "while it protect! the capital of
the wealthy manufacturer and increases the'ppfits,
,it does not benefit the operatives or,laborers„in his
employment, whose wages have not,been increased
by it." This is so palpably false' that it is not
worth while to du • more than refer to it. Every
one knows that since the passage of,tho act of
1842 passed. wages have been high. IThe truth
is that Mr. Polk oppases,the Tariff si'ot'bcciuso it
_does not benefit the poor, im account of itsprcteet

THE MINERS' JOURNAL.
PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE.--- We copy the follow
ing synopsirof the President's Message from the
United States Gazette. as giving the best conden
sed view of that document which we have seen:.
The President commences with congratulation
on his meeting, a,i President for the first time. the
Representatives of the people; he felicitates them
on -general peace, and properly acknowledges
the hand of Providence in our unexampled pros
perity.
lie approves of the action of Mr. Tyler towards
Texas and thii terms of annexation having been
complied with, nothing now ,is wanting but the
admission of Texas •intd the Lanier' by act of
Congress, which he recommends should he prompt,
as on the last of this month that Stale will elect
her'State officers, and she ought to have a repro.'
sentatien in Congress, where laws are made rela
tive to herself.
The message complains that Fri - nice, and old.
friend and ally, should have sought to prevent
the annexation. Much is promised for Texaaand
we are never to regret the adaiission of the 'Lone
Star.'
Mexico protested in March' last against annex- .
ati9n, and withdrew her Mintster and cearvil arnica
ble relations; and in eons-menet) of. her Move
ments, and at the request 'of Te4ss an army was
sent to the country between Nuccas and Del
Norte ; and consequently 111%ica has made no
hostile movements on Texas.;,
A statement of the affairs between this country
and Mexico is med.!: and tha neglect to pay the
53,000,000 of intmnity yet. due; but there is
much mystery about some receipts of an aliedged
payment. 'A Minister Plenipinentiary and Envoy
Extraordinary nag been sent by the President to
Mexico. (This is probably Mr. §Tidell of Lou
isiana.
• onteoN. •
,The Message then gives 'an account of the a.-
gotiltion between this country and Great Britain;
relative to Oregon.
The negotiation was renewed by Mr. Polk, and
a proposition was made to Great Britain to recede
—shove the 19th parallel—but not the navigation
of the COttunkia, (as had been previously offered.)
This was 'refused, with a Single remark by the
British Minister, that the ,united States would
make an offer :more consistent with fairrtet.a and
equitYl •
As the offerby Mr. Polk was made,only because
other administrations had Made similar offers, as
soon as it was rejected by Great Britain, the pro
position of compromise which we had made 'was
withdrawn, arid our title to the whole.cif Oregon
' asserted, and, as is believed, maintained by irrefra
gable facts.'
In. thlistate of the matter, the President refers
to the existing. agreement, via:—that, as the two
nations' now have joint •occupancy, , either must
give the other one year's notice of• terminating
that occupancy.' And he recommends that Con
grass give Mai notice.
' ft is then recommended that there be temporary
legislation forMur citizens in Oregon, until the ex
piration of the year. As yet, the British subjects
there have had the advantage of British; laws and
British protectiong,' while our citizens iii'Oregon,
have not been thus provided for. Many things
are recommended, all founded on the years notice
given to great Britain.

- .The Message then condemns the interference.
of Europeanimwers in the affairs of the North
t linerican Centiuent --anti declares that this na
tion will resist any such interference. .We mu-t
ever maintain the principle, that the i'eople of this
cOntir.ent alone, have the right to decide their own
destiny,'
. . .
It is redornincided that laws be r;assed to enable
this country,to iultirits duties to_Prussia, Nether
lands, and Pornagal, and to Spain according to

"The attention of Congress is invited to the impor
tance of making suitable moilifirations and-reductions'
of the rates Of duty imposedby our present tariff laws.
The object nf itimosing duties on imports. should be to
raise revenue to pay the necessary expenses of cur
ernment. , o
COngtesi may, undoubtedly, in the eiercike
of a sound di,cretiosbscriminate in' arranging the
rates of ihity!on different atticlei; but the discrimina
tions should he within the revenue standard, and be
made with a view to raise money for- the support of
government. ,
It becomes important to understand distinctly what
is meant by a revenue standard, the maximum of which
should not be exceeded in the rates of duty imposed.
It is concedtiit, and experience proves, that duties may
be MO on hig.h as to diminish, or prohibit altogether,
the importation of any given article, and thereby, les
sen or destroY the • revefine, which, at lower rates,
would be dilrivell from its Importation. Such duties
exceed t lie'revenue rates, and are tint imposed ,to raise
money for the support of government. If Congress
levy a duty. for revenue, of one per cent on a given
article, it will produce a given amount of money to the
Treasury, and will , incidentally and necessarily' afford
protection, or advantage, to the amount of one per
cent. to the 'home manufacturer of a similar or a like
article overMie imnorter.' If the duty be raised to ten
per cent. it!wili produce a greater amount of money,
i.aturafford greater protection. If it be still raised to

taxing poWer, axial fur purposes of revenue may- select
the objectS of 'taxation. They why exempt certain ar

these elastics should be embraced such articles of Itc

are consotned by the laborer and the poor, as well as
by the wealthy citizens. Care should be taken that
all the great interests of the Country, including mums

which a just system of revenue duties may afford.

To make; the taxing power at actual 'benefit to one
class, necessarily increes the burden of the others
beyond their primortiuti, and would be wanifrstl 'un

of popular import ; but they should apply under a just
dy;teut to:all the cartons branches of Industry to our
country. The farmer or planter who toils yearly in

den Which it imposes Is thrown on labor and the poor
er classes, Who are least able to bear it, while it pro
tects capital and exempts the rich from paying their
just proportion of the taxation required for the support
of government. While it protects the capital of the
wealthy Manufacturer, and increases his pronts,it does
not bene fi t thiveratives or labores in his empl o yment,

ces, subjected by Jtto heavy taxes, while articles of
finer quality and higher price, or of luxury, which can
be used only . by the opulent, are lightly ' taxed. • It im-!
poses heavy and urtjust burdens on the farmer, the
'planter, the commercial'utan, and those of all other:
pursuits except the capitalist who has made his invest

The well-known fact that the Tarid* act of ISle

two in the House Representatives, and that sonic
those who felt. themselves Constrained, under the
peculiar circumstances existing at the time, to vote in'

determination to aid its its modification on the first op

it was not Intended to be permanent, and of the expe

In recommending to Congress a reduction ofklhe *-

the act of I am far - from being. unfriendly. to the
Manufacturers. On the contrary, I desire to see them

'I recommend to Congress the abolition of the :mini

and the substitution._ in their
place of ad valorem ditties, as the fairest aminnost
equitable indirect tax which can be imposed'. 13y the

to their cost or value, and those which are of inferior
quality, 1,04' email cost, hear only the just, proportion
of the tax with tbose,which are of superior quality or
greater root. The articles consumed by all are taxed
at the same rate. A !system of ad valorem. revenue
duties, with proper discriminations anti proper guards
nattiest frauds in - collecting them, it ma not doubted,
will agent ample incid,mtal advantages to the a ana
l:winters. and enable them to derive as great profits as

nut stanibird, will place the mawafacturing interests

mast ever Occur, when duties are.not laid ror reventie,
but for the 'protertibn merely' of a favored interest.
In the-ilatherttioti4 of Congress on this subject, it is
