Po773MLE nutarret.—We noticed last Saturday the unusual number of vehicles loaded with produce, which blocked up Centre street, on the' preceeding Wednesday. From all the surrounding Counties, ve ld-cies of every description, filled with seasonable pro= duce were to be seen lie various parts of 'the borough. Many of the farmers hid come . more the/i c ons hundred miles, to bring their articles to Pottsville, which- they Considered the brat market they could find. Among others we noticed a train of tiventy-one - sleds, loaded with thirteen tons Of butter, which had come from the surrounding country. On Wednesday last, the rush was still . greater. ' It would have delighted the eyes of city epicure, to have looked upon the turkies, geese, and ducks; and the-saddles And. haunches of venison With which many of the sleighs were loaded.

Is it not then grossdeeeption on the part.iir hose Itiaders to:profess to condemn James K. Polk or his -views? • . • The difference between the Whigs and Loccil Feces on the 'subject of Protection is simply this. The Whigs are in favor of removing all other sources of revenue frotl>the National Treasury, excepting duties levied on Foreign importations. They want to cause the Government to be depen dant entirely upon a Tariff for its • support,. which will make it a permanent measure. This would recitiire an averace duty- of from thirty to thiity five per cent., discriminating in favor of thosear iicles which come in competition with our own, while it admits tea and coffee, and . many other 81'4' ticks which do not come in competition, free of duty. such is the Whig Tariff of 1842. It is a Tariff framed both for PROTECTION. and REV ENUE. It has protected the industry of ourcoun try, and it has produced sufficient Revenue with out the Land Fund. The Loco Foca doctrin.e is, a tariff for revenue, discriminating below the reve nue standard, (which secretary Walker:hasfixed at twenty. per cent.,) in connection with the pro ceeds arising from the sales of the' pUblic lands. They repudiate the word PROTECTION, and advocate a Revenue Tariff, while at the same time they are opposed to raising all the revenue for the support of the Government; from duties, as the above conclusively shows. It'will require very-little investigation to prove, that while the government iseconomically adminis tereiLit will be impossible to preserve a protectitth' Tariff, if the land fund remains . in the National I Treasury. The Lor.oloccit want a Tariff su£6-. cient to meet the expenses or government in con nection with the proceeds of the sales of the Pub lic Lands. Of course the Tariff must vary as the Land Fund varies. In 1835 the. roceeds Of the . sales amounted to nearly fifteen millions oUdol lars, in 1836 to more than twenty four and the average , amount of sides from 1830 to, 1840, was near seven millions of dollars. - .lt is not at all improbable that the sales may reach' the same sum 'again., When the. tales amount.fo seven, or even five,thiltions per annum, if a duty is placed upon tea and coffee, as recommended by Secretary Walker, there is little doubt that a Tariff of twenty per cent. would meet the wants of the g - overnment, but such a . Tariff would afford no protection to American Industry., It is only , nc cessary, for Cho above 'statement to be understood, to demonstrate that the - last Presidentiarelection vvas.carried by Paud. The people were led to believe that a' Revenue Tariff was a Protective Tariff, and that the views of the two .candidates for the . Presidenei were identically the gape. We do not hosjtatito say,' that if a man had'obtatned goods, or money,. on positions so false as thos i r by which the Lodofoco leaders - persuaded the people to' cast their votes for Willa, he wont(' be convicted, of swindling in any Cqnrt of Juidice in - the State . , Pennsylvania.' • ' We End intended-to write along article to prose that. the I..ocofoce leadera had swindled the people in the campaign of 1844, but the Locofoco papers theuiselvei haieeaveilus the trouble. The Phil adelphia Keystone takes ground against.the pres ent "oppressive" Tariff, and says it must he reduc ed. , The Harrisburg Argus acknowledges the . swindle in the following language: . • "We have no fault to 'find with the President for his opinions, they are undoubtedly those which be has t} ALWAYS Etvrstersitten—his exposition and under standing,. of a re reuse, in contradistinction to a Prater tire Tariff: They are, however, not what is under stood by a Tariff for revenue with incides , al protection, In Pennsylvania, nor will they if carried out.„ furnish that protection and encouragement to .nur Iron, our coal, our wool, our silk. our labor and industiy, which our best interests require." Mark, reader, the.. Argus says "always enter . gained." The base deception is hero admitted by that paper. : ' The,Bradford County Star, (I.oeofomi,) speak= ing of the Tariff, and of the course that will be taken in regard to it, by the Congressman of that district, says: • • !!Davtir Wit,moT will go as far as he who goes farth est, in opposition to the present oppreesire Tariff, - and its twin brother, the 'Distribution scheme.

The acquisi-• Lion of California is the omit important operation of our govertnent , sioce its foundation. Another letter about this matter in a day or two. • The New York Tribune makes' the .following commehts'on the above articles: • • ' , Putting' these two articles together, and obser ving that there is no chance for collusion between • the' writers, it is placed beyond doubt that Mr. dell• has gone out 'instructed to offer Mexico a handsome bonus but , "of the, capacious .pocket of Uncle Sam, for a relinquishment of her claims to all territory this side of lho,Rici-del Norte, Santa Fee included, aninhat he is farther instructed to make a still larger offer-.-not less than $10,000,- 000, and very likely more—for a cession to us of Upper California as' far south, as the . little River Gila. .Thesd two cessions, if made, will give us about half, if we mistake riot, of the territory con stituting the 'Mexican Republic prior to the insur rection. of Texas. Of comae, if we buy California we buy all North of a line running duo East from the river Gila (or the head of the Gulf of Calder nfa, very nearly): to the Rio del Norte. That we aro utttrly opposed to the policy of rte• quiring distant territory, our readers,well know. The purchase of Louisiana was justified by the necessity of.,the case; the free• navigation of the Mississippi-being deemed essential to the prosper ! ity' of out Western country. We know not on what priqciplii the purchase bf vast regions west ward of evenAhe, Rio del Norte, and to the Pacific Ocean, is to - be..jristified : • We surely do not-need these territories; their people have never consen, ted to be transferred to us; and the mass of them are UnqUalified to discharge intelligently and safe ly the duties of citizens of a Republic like ours. If ! it were not a - settled fact that AbsttactiOnisti, Nal lifiers,, sticklers for State Righrs, , the Resolutions ' of '9B,', and all that, would 'stretch the Conatito , lion to cover any act . hoy deemed expedient, we " might ask, 'Where is the constitutional power to ' run the People of the United States in debt for such purposes 1' but that would be a waste of breath. - There is never any lack of. power to do whatever is calculated to strengthen certain inter ests.. , Wido not see why a Republic-should buy For. sign territory while it has ten dines as much ready, as it can improve fora century to.'come.

To, what end 1 And out of whose pockets would the , purchase money come? For whose especial befit would it be paid? But between buying provinees and fighting for them. the choice is so immeasuribly great and im portant that we shall be happy to see our differ ences with Mexico amicably and. satisfactorily set tled on any reasonable terms._ . If, therefore, 'it shall hereafter transpire that Slidell has been able to purchase from Mexico her claims to Texas and, all this side of the Rio del Norte, -wittiCafi fornia and all North of the Gulf of that Mime, for any sum riot exceeding $20,000,000, we shall 'de- ' cidedly and heartily advocate the ratification of the Treaty. The consideration, large .r is it may seem, will fell short of the coat of one year's ac tual hostilities; ,to say nothing of the Mihail cries and crimes of ..War. And now, gentlemen extenders of- the area of Freedom I two words with you. You have gone in, it ,seems, for the acquirement of ,California. We hear that said country is chargeable with heavy British, mortgages, and that England is in -tent on acquiring it. How this may be we do not knOw, but it is probable enough, for England has land enough to want more, and she is not, conspi cuous for modesty.
