TURN OUT!—TURN OUT!—THE TIME HAS, COME FOR DECISIVE ACTION! - • Freemen, ere you ready Have you consid ered, honestly and dispassibriately the questions involved in the present contest, arid , are you now ready to decide with your ballots on Tuesday next? Have yea reflected upon the fact that James K. Polk and his friends,in.lB44, proclaimed them selves, in the loudest (cites, in favor of the Tariff polcy, and that, no Sootier bad he been elected President, than they turned about and destroyed what thsy promised to sustain? Do you remember the foolish noise and eicite. ment raised with regard to the annexation of ' Texas? Did we not tell y0u,.0, deceived and 'misguided people of Penney ivanie !,--thatif Texas were ftnnexed, a disastrous, bloody and endless war with . Mexico would inevitably ensue; that a debt of several hundred millions would take root and grow out of such war, casting its dark. she 'owe in every direction, to hang, likea plague, over the toiling, industry of the people ; that Slavery ; like a monstrous viper, would coil its loathsome length around the pillars of our institutions, cast ing its fangs into Northern I-Industry, and hissing foreversin the ears of Northern Freemen !=and tlikt the odious Sub-Treasury, and the policy of Frei-Trade would be established and carried out to the fullest extent! , • Now, what is the result! "—As soon as Polk - had been elected, Texas was annexed and war virtually declared. _The hra:le Gen. Taylor was ordered to take up ciposi tiuu 6ri the banks of the Grande River, with but three or four thousand men, and yet with -this' force, he was expected by the - cowardly Polk, to repel the attacks of the enemy, who bad over twenty thousand men to meet Gen. Gaines; who was ,theit in New Orleans, perceiving the great danger Gen. Taylor and his little band of men had been plaCed in, ordered . out with all haste arid promptness, ten thousand additional troops from Louisiana, and the adjoin• ing States. The troops were gathered ., together; mustered into service, and were about leaving New Orleans fur the seat of war, When Polk orders the arrest of the brave old 'General, proclaimed hitn crazy and his conduct foolish, orders him on to Washington to be court-martailed, disbands the ,troops, and abandons Gen. Taylor, then fighting :on Mexitan soil, to hie fate ! The expense in curred for Calling out and then suddenly' dismiss. ing these troops, was upwards of one million of dollars, the whole of which was thus fool ishly, and wickedly thrown away through the ignorance and obstinacy of James K. Polk ! —Look at it! Remember it! So insufficient and irregular were Gem Taylor's su'pplierr and-reinforcements that; after achieving the glorious victories of .Palo Alto, and the La Patina, be Was unable to follow up his success sad harriss the enemy in his retreat, • Thus, things had gone on from day to day when, to add insult to wickedriess,'Polk sent do. Cuba for Santa Anna,Whither be had been, ordered on half•pay by his government,' requesting him to return to Mex ico, and to save him from being taken prisoner by our army, ha was provided) with passports signed by ate said James K. Polk, as President o United Stated Here, then, we see the Executive of the Nation' refusing reinforcements to the brave Gen. Taylor, ti x and not 60 'sfiel with that, he-thrusts upon him, backed with s army of twenty to thirty . .housand men, this: notorious one-legged villain, Santa Anna! ' Look at the thousands who bave fallen under his sword, and ask yourself which is the most guilty : Polk, who furnished the man, Or the man who became his instrument! But all this would not conquer Rough and Ready ! lie has proved himself superior to Polk and Santa 'Anna both; and while he defeats the latter in battle, his friends here will defeat the former at the polls. ~ But look at the valuable lives that have been - sacrificed in this bloody and outrageous - war 1 Upwards of twenty thousand of our gallant and brave countrymen have been killed, sod we are now no nearer to an honorable Peace than the'day the war was commenced! ' Gen. Scott can proceed noTtirther without reinforcements—Gen. Taylor can get no farther without reinforcements, and whati.therefore, is to be done? Are our soldiers to waare out their lives in the enemy's country with the mere sickness and disease of Inactivity ? ' To be sure, Congress promptly ordered out fifty thousand troirpri upon the commencement of . hostilities—but where are they ? Why . have they not been 'trent:stout,. when thoUsands of our countrymen are ready .6,1 willing to volunteer 1 Look at the expense!' The war is now only Legun, and it has cost us upwards of one hund red and seventy-five millions of dollars ! If it costs us this sum to support a-few thousand men, what will it cost for fifty thousand, as authorized "by-Congress? In four years the expenses of the War would be from irix to ten hundred millions of dollars—and every dollar of this sum the people of this country must - pay sooner or later. W e mug then retort either to direct taxation or to the protective' tariff policy of 1842. Polk and his miserable advisers must be thrown over board to'obtain the ?atter, and if the-people desire an end ofthis wholesale butchery, they had bet ter commence at the bottom, with Francis R. Shuck, and go on from the lowest to the highest, - until every round of the governmental luddei is swept clean of locofoeo occupants. . SOMETEMG TO BE GOP. sHrtxr rx FAVOR Ord TAX ON COAL' The voters of Sao;lkill county will , not, we trust;fnrget at the election on next Tuesday, the repeiteZ attempts made.by Goy. Shank, and other prominent locofocos, to pass d law Tasing Coal from fifteen to twenty cents per Ton. Gov. Shank, is the originator and wart advocitiof this pernicious measure, and it was through his intlu. awe and recommendation that Col. - Snowden, in .1846,, (tbeii State Treasurer) in bra annual report of theLimacces of the Commonwealth, pmpiAstd tax of twenty cents pr ton on this article, which, hoWeiver. hav ng ,been openly - opposed by the Whip in both branches of Atli Legislature, did not receiveAbe'sanclidu of that body: , - What would'oor'ilsepy and - Laborers say, if this propositinn of Sbunlis had been approved by the friends'of Home Industry in the Leglslatiire. and had thus becomew law I What would have been the effect 7 (The land-holders, tt is well known, have impoiiant adviintages over the Coal Operators, and it o islmot probable, under ordinary circumstances, thattbey would consent to reduce, the price of Coal in the Mines—at all - events, they would not bear a reduction of twenty cents per ton, nor the half of it. Thos. 0131-vtoret could not bear the tax, because they-find it difficult, even now, under the operations of Polk's Free-Trade Rev 7 enue Laws, to bear up against the foreign coMpe. tition in our own' markets,---consiquently this enormous tar could not have been borne by them: it would - therefore have fallen upon the Laborer. The toiling, industrious Miner, who brings it out from the earth, world have been the sufferer. Nor he only. Thous.ands of mechanics employed in furnaces. rolling-mills, forges, machine-shops, and manufactories of all kinds, would have suffered a reduction of wages, or been thrown out of em ployment, had this nefarious measure become a law. And thus a general stagnation in business• would have ensued. similar to that previous to the passage of the Tariff of 1842. • • • During the late visit of Gen. Irvin to this place, we happened to allude, in the .c course of our con-, venation with him, to the attempts , made by Shank, Snowden, and other Free Traders, to bring about this 'obnoxiouS measure, when he expressed himself in the strongest terms as oppo sed to it, and that he had exerted himself from the first to prevent. its becoming a law. When the subject was agitated in 'hi - Legislature, several prominent Free-Traders in Centre County; headed by Mr. Bumsides, called a meeting in- Belle fonte, to sustain Shrink's proposition, which they did: Gen. Irvin immediately called a meeting on the following evening, at which he repudiated the measure in a speech of some length,.and exhibi ted its disakrous tendencies in the strongeit and - . . most conclusive terms. The people of our County have. therefore,' the most positive assurance that in the election of Gen. Irvin this measure can never receive the‘Executive sanction ; while if Shunk- is eontinued, it is at least questionable whether his assiduous efforts to bring it into effect might not ultimately be suc cessful. Al any rate, those who. are wise wil look after their true interests.. A NOBLE EXAMPLE! A man over one hundred and fourteen years of .rige,zesiding in Tennes'see, recently walked two miles over arough road, to vote the Whig ticket. His name is John Van Hoozer, and he has voted at every Presidential election that has been field since the formation of our government. What a noble example does the conduct' of this..patriotic old Whig afford ! What man,enlOying the proud attributes of the American Citiien, will r main . at' home on Tuesday next, in the fare of example thus given by this old Revolutionary Patriot? The man who habitually neglects to vote, or exercises the . privilege carelessly or for selfish ends, is a dangerous person, and should_ be treated 'as' a common enemy to himself,, his family, and.his country. .While those who ex. .ercise it rightfully and intelligently do more for the maintenance of the public peace, and the honor and prosperity of the country, than others who defend it with the sword on the field of battle. The latter is worthy a Savage—the form. er of the enlightened Freeman.! TO THE POLLS ! TO THE POLLS ! Friends of Removal and Low Taxes, • now is the time to act ! Lay aside every enga4ementon Tuesday next, and dedicate that day to the cause of Josticcond equalTighte. Remember the heavy taxes that will fall upon' you, people orT`tchuyl kill county, if you foolishly refuse to remove the Seat of Justice to Pottsville! • Avert this unnec essary expense now that you can do it—for as certain as that the sun shines in thy eastern firma ment, will Removal take place five years hence if it does not take placenow, and just as certain: ly as that it will takellace, will the tax-payers have to pay for the erection of the Court House, Jails and Aces for the keeping of the. County Records. • • • ' Up, then—arouse ! and with a determined - and strong blow, avert the disruter that would fall upon Inactivity ! Let Rem Oval and - Low Taxes be the words—eyes right—march ! TAX PATERS, BE NOT DEdIVED! jc We iiiblished a table last week . , by' which an excess of over six thousand dollars was exhibited in fair* of Pottsvi , le end two contiguous town. abipir, over the Rorough of Orwigsburg and two Contiguous townships, as assessed the present year. From this statement may be inferred the compar ative excess oflie amount of taxes paid by the people of the Coal region, over those of other sic lions of the county. TheAnti.Reduivalt, bore ever, have alVklong been harping about the enor mous taxes, and haVe repeatedly suited that the people of the Coal region are a merely "floating populace"=.-owning no property,. and having no interest at stake in the Removal question. And they went so far as to suggest to the Legislature, that, in submitting the question'of Removal to the people, a clause should be inserted denying to all those persons who did not hold property, the right to tote on the question! The truth is, the people of the Opal region pay at least twathirds of the County Taxes. They bear, and have borne the heaviest part of the bur. then, and•what is more to their credit, since they • have had a representative in the County Board, a debt of thirty-three thousand dollars has been, paid off, (which would otherwise have continued to bang upon as like an incubus,) and have redu ced the County taxes for the present year, below . the tales of the State lases—which is a feat seldom accomplished heretofore ! Besides this, many fine bridges have been built, important improve ments to the Court house and other structures made, withiri the lent year or two—all of which has been accomplished since the . Coal region has bada.voice in the County management. Now, who are really the friends of low taxes! And who really poy the largest portion of theml Let the_people look at our ads and judge. - Trin 11EFEzrr NEWS ram etirgeo. In our last 'number we furnished adrift' lion' the army up to within a few minute; of ourgoing to pram Since then, there has been an incessant stream of news pouring in upon us; all, however, of the same purport, via: that the Armistice en tered into by' the two armies bad been violated, that the negotiations for Pesee had failed: by this ,rernital °fibs Idlicant to accept the,propositiocur of Mr. Trist,, that iiiiiiuiitres had again commen ced, and that Gen.

No reliable particulars have as yet reachrd us •of the battle—though it is - univeisally .. , conceded that battles have been fought, and that Scott is in possession of the Mexican capital. Gm.

Our troopi ere now completely hemmed up in the heart of Mexican territory, without supplies, and without the hope of receiving reinforcements, unless of a most piwerful character. An army of thirty thousand reen is wanted immediately, and will have to be called out, sooner or tater ; ere a decisive stroke for Peace can be given the'enemy. This war is unquestionably the greatest curse, thus far, that lifs visited our country for a long time. We have already lost upwards ,of twenty thousand of ,our countrymen on Mexican soil, among them somebf the noblest 13 ntl-bes(nien of our land. This, alone, is enough to disgust any right-thinking man with war, either of an offensive or, defensive character. But 'iv are now, in it, and it becomes every men to stand, by it until it shall be ended, honorably and bravely.

Sir : Youeletter of the tith ult. requesting of me an exposition of my views on the questions of national pol icy now at issue between the political parties of the Uni ted States, has duly reached me. I must take occasion to say that many of my letters, addressed to gentlemen in the United States, in answer to similar inquiries, have already been‘made public. and I bad greatly hoped that all persons interested had, by this time, obtained from them a sufficiently accurate knowledge of my views and desires in relation to this subject. As it appears however that such is not the. case, I deem it proper, in reply to -your letter, distinctly to repeat that I am not before the People of the Unitcd States as a candidate for the nextTresidency. It is my desire to return at the close of this war to the discharge of those professional duties and to - the e joyn:ent of :those domestic pursuits from which I was called at its 'commencement, and for which my tastes d education best At me. I deem it but due to candor to state, at th same time, that, if I were called to the Presidential nir by the general voice of the people, without regardto their polit ical differences, I should deem it to be my at) , to accept the office. But while I freely avow my attachment .to the administrative - policy. of our early Presidents, Lde sire it to be understood that I cannot submit, even in thus accepting it, to the exaction of any other pledge : as to the course I should pursue than that of discharging its functions to the best of my ability, and strictly in ac cordance with the requirements of the constitution. I have thus given you the circumstances under which only can I be induced to accept the,high and responsible office of President of the United States. I need hardly add that I cannot In any case permit myselfto be brOught before the people exclusively by any of the political par ties that now so unfortunately divide our country. their candidate for this, office.— It - affords me great Pleasure, in conclusion, folly to eon enr with you in your high and just estimate of the vir tues, both of bead and heart, of the distinguished citizens (Messrs. Clay. Webster, Adams, McDuffie and Calhoun] mentioned in your letter. I have never yet exercised the privilege of voting ; but' had I been called upon at the last Prelideritial election to do so, I should most certain ly have cast my vote for Mr. Clay.

The steamship Hibernia .arrived at Bciston on Monday- morning last. The commercial news brought - by her is of considerable importance.— Several great failures of mercantile houses have occurred, which"will involve many of our own in ruin. A sudden rise was given Uktie prices of Breadstuffs on the 13:h ultirno,.upon which, as usual, the rates for cotton receded simultaneously. The news has hed a favorable effect on our do mestic mar k e ts, end flour in bbls. now. ranges at $6 and upwards. The miscellaneous news is of little. importance at this time. MR. wrasTaws aaoarrr SI'EEOR HIS VIEWS ON THE ;TRH During the recent session of the Massachusetts State Convention, the Iron. Daniel Webster de. livered an able speech. Alter some preliminary remarks, he proceeded to define his position on the Mexican Way, the Wilmot' proviso, &c. The f o ll o wi ng are his remarks - on the war, which we submit to the careful.and candid perusal of every right-fcelung,citizen "He held that the'contlict was unconstitutional in its origin, and founded on pretext. The laws of nations divide motives for war into those s which are good and those which are vicious. Those which are commenced and carried nn for renown, conquest, and similar ob jects, are vicious. These may be sufficient causes for a war, between two nations, but not good motives for one. Causes require something else; motives, good motives are requisite. The character of the war against Mexico is vicious ; it is a war of pretexts. The real motive of h is not distinctly avowed. There are three pretexts—all of them unfounded—on which this war Is sought to be placed by its originators and defenders. The President in his message to Con gress,i Mity.ll, 1846, puts it on the fact that the Mexicans have, invaded American territoty, and shed American blood. In my opinion. thin is not comet: As early as Jandary, 1846, our a riny was advanced beyond. the Mex ican-houndaries of Texas, and upon the left bank of the Rio Grande. occurred the first hostilities and the first shedding of American and Mexican blood. Was this the invasion of American territory and the spilling of American blood on such territory It was soil clai Led by the United States Executive—not by Congress—and also claimed by the Mexican government for as Much a: part of her territory as the capital itself, and it was more over in her actual possession. .i* Our troops were marched into a country claimed find occupied by the Mexicans—is not`this war on our pant The President's statement was not correct in point of fact, and cannot be made so. This iea pretext. Other causes were brought fonvard after the war commenced. One,was, that Mexico would not receive our Minister Plenipotentiary! Is that cause of war—for an Executive war! Congress would not derlarmwar on such grounds. At any rate, it was not a circumstance that called for such speedy action• that the Executive could not lay it before Congress, then before him. It is but another of the unfounded pretexts on which the war is sought to be defended. Still anotherand the third—of these pretexts is, that Mexico had declined to pay her debts dile citizens of this country, This was not putt forth in the act of ICongress fieclanng war to exist. It Man afterthought. This mat ter of debt is one of long standing ; many sessions of Congress had been held during the existence of the debt. Yet no war was declared on this ground. And if it was a cause for the war, it surely afforded no pre tence for an, Executive war, us this is. It is a , pretest, and nothing but a.pretext. What, then, was the object of the war} Ido hot pro fess to possess more, if so much, sagacity than other men; but to me the answer to this question is as plain as a turnpike, as visible as the sun that now shines ! An eminent statesman—perhaps the most eminent--of the party of the administration ; indeed he is so eminent that the wonder is that the administration does not be-. long to him, instead of he to the administration; this gentleman, I mean Mr: Calhoun, declared at the last ses- Ann in Congress, that if there held been no annexation of Texas, there would have been no war; and that the immediate cause of the war was the orde'ring, by, the,Ex ecutive, be it remembered, of our troops to advance from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande. Hence this question is settled--no annexation. noway. I am no apologist for Mexico.: I have a poor opinion of the Mexican government. linty the 'people of the country, and should pity them the more if they knew the state they were in. It is the worst governed of any country-inthe world that, pretends 10 be civilized. bas been for twenty years the prey of every military upstart, who bad money enough to get up a miserable army. From 1836. when was the battle of San Jacinto, to 1812, Mexico had-no authority over Texas, no just claim upon her territory. in 18414,3, Team . ; was an in dependent government, so nominally, so practically, so recognized by our own and other governments.--Mexico had no ground of complaint hr the annexation of Texas; we are the party to complain--we did not want Texas. But she did take offence ; she persisted in claiming Tex as as her' province, long as it had been an independent territory,[and broke off terms of amity with our govern went,. calling home her ministers, and trfasing to receive our own But this was not war-=very fartrom it. I contend that the.precise object of the war was simply this : Paredesbernine President in March 1845. Santa Anna, was exiled to Cuba, triton what is called half-pay, in June of the same year. But tie was discontented with his residence there, and I have ,strong ,suspicions that his half-pay was never paid. Through 1645 this state of. things continued ; matters between the countries were unsettled and unsatisfactory. Mexico held back, and was warlike in her tone. In January, 1848,. the United States army was ordered to .the Rio Grande; in order says Mr. Buchanan, to act as Congress should authorize in case of the rejection ~of Mr. Slidell then in Mexico. At this time came forth rumors that Santa Anna was more favorable to peace, that is, more willing to accom modate on the annexation difficulty, than Paredes; and on that very day in January. a message was sent to Commodore Conner of the Gulf Squadron, sayingthat if Santa Anna came that way to let him into Mexico. How came .it to be supposed that he was likely to come that way? About the same time, Alexander Slidell, brother to the Minister to Mexico, was sent to Cuba by the Govern ment. At this time a person named Brown was an agent of the United States there. It was a matter of general conversation in Cuba that Santa Anna had been invited to return to - Mexico by the United - State's authorities. The President said Paredes was the obstacle in the. way of settling our difficulties. The interference is plain, st Gn rong. the 11th of May war actually commenced. On the Ist of June a proclamation, prepared at Washington, was sent to- Gen. Taylor„-th be distributed broadcast throughout Mexico, as he progressed into the Country. This purported to give the causes of the war to the Mexicans. " It set forth that we are *fends of Mexico; that the war was waged on account - of the debts, and the rejec tion of - Mr. Slidell by the then existing Government, and a supposed declaration of Paredes, of which I never heard or could ever learn any other authority. The fat is slot stated, intimated or alluded to, that wad in the act of war. It was said that we came as friends, and that we desired to keep the Mexican Goveniment from fal ling into the ha hAs or, a European prince, a proposition to which effectAt WAS. Shown out, was on foot.. Borne time in the some month, 'June, Santa Anna• went to VeralCruz, passed into the interior, issued his pmclamation or , pmnunciamento. This, too, `said he came as a friend to put down tyrants and avert' the im pending monarchy. The ideas rind 'language are strik ingly like those set forth thmugh'Gen. Taylor. Wheth er Banta Anna borrowed from Mr, Polk, or,Mr. Polk' borrowed from Santa Anna, or whether it was an extra ordinary coincidence of thought on the part of, two great geniuses, I will not attempt to say. Sufficient that they are remarkably similar in language as well ns character. Gen. Rains, under Banta Anna's pronunciamento, over threw Paredes, and he 'in turn was banished: Banta Anna became the bead of the nation. The sequel 'all, know. iWar, more direful and bloody than ever, raged, and is now only terminated by an armistice, how long to continue 110 one knows. , • r With equal mortification and regret 'did I teed in the last message of the President, the admission ghat his ob ject in assisting Banta Anna to return, to Mexico was to overthrow the existing government and raise up anoth er more favorable tong* . purposes. Me, hoped fo get our of the difficulty growing out Of annexation by fomenting a revolution in Mexico!
