••_ Now that the President's views - upon the sub
ject of a Protective Tariff have beths placed before
!the people in•bis message, in such a. way that there;'
can be no mistake concerning those Views, let us
look a little while at the effects Which would re
sult from the proposed reduction of the Tariff.—
The President says th r th the Tariff 01 . 1842 must
be reduced to the Revenue Standard, and Secretary
Walker fixes the Revenue standard at twenty per
cent. At
. this rate, even if discriminations are
marls, the duty on coal, on the ad.valoretn princi
ple, cannot exceed forty cents per ton. 'The pres
ent duty, imposed by the Tariff of 1842, is a spe
cific duty of 61 75 per ton. Should that duty be
reduced to forty cents, as is proposed, the
,wages
of labor must bo reduced as low, if not lower than .
they were three years ago, to enable our operators
to compete with the foreign article. Let us go into
a little calculation to show who\ love the LocofoCo
leaders have for the laboring men, and illustrate
the great measure of the administration intended
for glide especial *nrfit.
There aro about four_theusand 'then directly
employed as miners and laborers in the Coal field
of Schuylkill county. According to Walker's
standard, wages must bo reduced fromAwenty-five
to thirty cents per day below the present rates.—
Suppose we say only ti;erity cents per day.. This
Iwould cause, on four thousand men, a leas

• Two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars out
of which:the miners and laborers directly engaged
in the coal works of ,Schuylkill county, will be
ato:niled, per annum should the Tariff ithredriced
to Mr. Walker's standard. „
But what do the Locofoco papers of Pennsyl
vania say to the proposed reduction of the Tariff l'
Occesionally we meet with one which cries out
in piteous tones, , -Pray, Mr. Polk don't meddle
with the Tariff of 1842; don't deprive ;It, of 4 its
Protective features; don't reduce the duties on coal
and iron. • If you do we shall be placed in a very
unpfeasant,position before the people of Penntyl
vania."---, But we have seen no, manly avowal of
opposition, to the Views of the President. We see
no open Aenuncithion of Lis course.' On the con.
trary..the message is lauded to the•skiei ae One of
the most masterly, patriotic, and statesman-like

RELIGIOUS .VOTICES.
We understand that a Home Missionary Meet
ing was held on Monday everting last, in the A
cademy at Orwigsburg, for the purpose of sustain
ing a Mission in Schuylkill Valley. After a brief
statement of facia given by , Mr. Bottum, who has
labored for some:time,in that Valley, the Rev. Mr.
Nea', the Rev. Mr. Ifofrivier, and: the Rev. Mr.
Schnerr spoke in favor of the measure. Mr. Bom
berger of Lancaster, who had vistted the region
shortly before, also stated some interesting
.partic
ulais. It seems that before Mr. Bokum came in
tothe Valley, New Philadelphia, Middlepert, Pat
terson. and Tuscarora had been altogether without
the usual religious privileges, with the only
ex
ception pethaps;of Middleport, where for a. time
' at least the Rev. Mr. Riley, lately of Port C . arbon,
labored with a , good deal Of success. At 're'sent
there is a flourishing Sunday School in Middle
. part and in Patterson, and are just forming one in
New Philadelphia.. Meetings are regularly held
iii each of these places, and a good lever is obvi
ously at work in, that region. :It is generally
,un
defstoed that this field has been so farlittle noticed
in a religious point of view, from the fact of the
population haying far morn rapidly increased than
they could Well be ,attended to in this - respect.
The meeting, - we are told, was exceedingly spirit
ed. It is soon . , to be followed by another. The
Mission is
.not to tie confined to any spaCial de
nomination.. ' • X.
