The present stagnation in the iron interests of Pennsylvania bas been the con sequence of that act,--an act pissed by men 'who defraurled 6 the pcop'e of tetis state into the belief 'that in voting for P 01.,: and Dal..x.ta.they were flr the_ferrif of 1812', :It is estimated that upwrds or seven millions of dollars are an nually taken from the waged of the colliers, win- era, furnaoi men and other laborers, dependent upon the iron trade, by the pefnicious operation of the tariff of 1846 'Pig iron, which was in 'de mand in 1845 at $37 pe'r tun, is now sold at $2O —"when at the come liMO you cannot buy Stoves, •Ploughs, and Hardware any cheaper than you cituld when Iron sold at $4O.

The Whig vote for Fuller, is 31.183 les. than the vote for Middaswarth, for the sanieoffice,MlB4t3. This .deficienty added to Fuller's total votemetdd have elected him triumphantly. It is plainly to be seen that if the VVhigs had properly turned out, the re eult would have - been different, and'mote to our rffirl The Whigs of Pennsylvania did' not take into 'consideration the importance of the election of a Canal Commissioncr 7 —Which is unfortunately too often the case—they feet unwilling to appreciate the precious right of .voting—and thinking that one ofileetin the Canal Bran] would be of little avail, they saw fit to stay at home, caring little whether the State did, etentingly,go bock to Los cofocoisen. A more suicidal policy could not be pitribeil—and unless the Whigs of Pennsylvania . ; manifest a' greater desire, on future occasions, to keep op the party organizatiens—o thing which can only be done by adhering to the party,•and Voting for it on an °erosions they will find them. srlves in the minority in this State, from which it will •be difficult to wrieste the party. Those Whigs, who remained at homa- 7 to those only, is due the credit of the victory over which the Loco focal are n'ogr rejoicing—if a victory it can be called. - ' After the cause of this defeat has been made manifest, - the Whigs of the State, should nsaet Allow the repetition of such a result. They have the power to avoid it,snd let them use it as Whigs should do. "A full . whig vote is a Whig Victory," is a true saying; and let the Whigs of the State, in future elections bear this it - . mind, and they will save the,party from the mortification of defeat.
