credit, what is called the State may require a
little money, by and bye. It will be readily
obtained, for this country has always shown a
proud alacrity in liquidating its public pecu.
nlary obligations. Nothing would give greater
pleasure to the Rovuseumns, the BARING,
the HorrmouEns, and other great European
capitalists, than to be able to open " a little
account" with Uncle Sam. And for this
reason—he has cheerfully, on all previous
occasions, paid the Interest on his borrowings,
and has been, if possible, only too quick in
discharging the debt itself. People in Europe,
who have money to invest, and find the United
States paying a higher per centago than they
can obtain in England or France, (they rather
(Helmet other nations,) are somewhat puzzled
what to do when, baring put their means into
American Stock, the action of redeeming it is
entered Into. They would be much bettor
pleased by being allowed to koop their cash
on loan to the United States, whore the ordi
nary interest is 11^om 6 to 7 per cent., while
scarcely any European safe investment yields
as Much as 6.
Whatever money this nation may require It
can thus obtain, on very favorable terms, from
European 'capitalists. Or, if Treasury notes
be issued,- they will readily pass Into currency,
for no one can doubt that they will be taken
up at maturity. But the question may arise,
cannot both processes of raising the wind ho
dispensed with 7 May not simple taxation be
adopted as a substitute? Already NVO have put
the principle into practice, for we raise a consi
derable public revenue by import-duties, which
really form the most direct and easily collected
taxation.
We would suggest, as it may be difficult to
say on what articles taxes should be levied,
that the impost should be laid simply and solely
upon superfluities. Admit the justice of this,
and remark what a vast field for taxation--
what a boundless prairie of impost—is thus
spread open. Consider, too, the common-place
justice of the'matter. Do what you may, it is
impossible to please all parties once that taxa
tion commences. The complaint ever is, that
the levy on the poor, as compared with what is
exacted from the rich, is much less than, when
comparatively viewed, it ought to be. Tax
superfluities only, leaving more necessaries
free, and you come at once to an impost
upon all expenditure in excess of necessary
payments.
As a matter of course, to begin with, all
necessary personal adornments should come
within the limit of tbo tax. We would not
pronounce against all expenditure on this
account, seeing that, though Beauty when
unadorned may (poetically) be adorned the
most, ornaments do become the fair sex, when
used with taste and moderation. In the first
place, we hope to see every female who is out
of her teens with a plain gold ring on the third
finger of ber left hand, duly placed there by
some one who has the felicity of .standing in
the relation of husband to her, and, as such a
pledge of marital faith cannot be too carefully
preserved, the lady may wear as handsome a
ring with it, as " a guard," as she cares to ex
hibit. Even a third ring, which may safely by
assumed to be a present from sonic beloved
relative, may be tolerated. Beyond this, all
rings worn by women should be taxable, on the
.talorerk principle:: We went& cAcep:h. ill
-the Instant* of yxiting ladien who are 'yet
nn
wedded; even a couple of rings given as gages
d'aitiour. It is necessary, we believe, some
times to play off one beau against another, and
an excellent mode of doing this Is to excite
jealousy by taking care to exhibit, full flashing
In the eyes of one spark, the ring which an
other has given. It has been found advan
tageous in bringing matters to a conclusion—
we should rather say the conclusion.
As for gentlemen, we would allow each to
' wear a seal ring, on which may be engraved
his armorial bearings, if he goes In for such
things, and no other annular ornament what
' ever—unless he be a widower, lu which ease
It is considered etiquette for him to wear his
late wife's wedding-ring on tile last finger of
his left hand, for the purpose of thus gently
indicating—that he is In the market agalnl
All rings beyond these two, worn by the male
sex, should be xable. TheAmpost upon more
display wouldWvery lucrative.
Ear-rings, we fear, would not be rationally
exempt from the operation of the tax. The
custom of wearing them is evidently derived
from African and other savage nations. Yet
honeidering that these ornaments abound, that
they aro usually rich and costly, that the
wearers fancy them becoming, we would per.
mit their untaxed 'use—provided that each
lady who appears with them will also wear the
decoration of the nose-ring, which is,lust as
rational and becoming as the ear-rings them
selves, and Is always worn with them by the
dusky savages as aforesaid.
Rich necklaces, and the whole tribe of what
*are called [(jewels "—for a full definition of
which look at FRSZZOLINI, dressed for con
quest and show, exhibiting herself before a
concert-audience—are so wholly superfluous
that they must come under the tax. A well
looking woman does not require them to aug
ment her natural charms, and an ordinary-look
ing woman (if such a she-phenomenon can
be found) would only look all the worse, by
contrast. We must ho just, though we may,
seem cruel, and put "jewels" on the list of
taxable things. Yet, as we would leave some
margin, we cheerfully exempt a handsome
bracelet or two, (such as no saw the other
evening on pretty little wrists,) and a Cameo
broach, or any of those things which can be
supposed, by a great effort of Imagination, to
be of even the remotest utility, we shall go to
the length of meriting off as tax free. Ladies'
gold watches, too, provided there are not too
many little ge charms " linked to .them, are
within the exceptions, as, of all people in the
world, females have the least idea how time
flies. Their "just dropped in to ask how you
are " invariably extends from twenty minutes
to a couple of hours.
On the other hand, the male sex, who also
wear watches, should be taxed for any and
every unnecessary display connected with
them, which does not actually come into the
article "utility." Wg will permit the watch
Itself to he as handsome as the wearer may
fancy, and admit that the wearing of a guard
chain is very warrantable, as contributing to
the safety of the watch itself. But we would
doubly tax any man who, in petit maitre style,
affects such excessive ornamentation as the
wearing of " charms," trinkets, fancy-seals,
ladies' rings, and knick-knacks of any kind; as
appendages to his watch—unless he keep them
wholly out of sight. A seal and a watch-key
are necessary, and all beyond them must be
heavily taxed.
Shirt studs are necessary, and, being so, we
would let them pass—though the plainer they
are the better they look. But such "returned
Californian" embellishments as huge brooches,
on which diamonds extensively cluster, are
fully taxable, not being in the slightest de.
grce useful, nor, indeed, very ornamental in
most Cases'.
We are in doubt whether handsome eye
glasses, worn by man or woman, should be
scheduled 51 superfluous—seeing that the
honest way, if a person cannot see well, is to
wear spectacles. llowever, after much del iber
at ion, we have considered that those who have
what is called long-sight, and, therefore, only
occasionally require the aid of glasses, (as for
reading,) may dispense with spectacles,
Whereas every near-sighted person, whose
vision requires their constant aid, should con
stantly wear spectacles, or submit to a heavy
tax for flirtation with an eye-glass. If any
weak-minded. ,man (such folly is never com
mitted by the other sex) should ever he seen
with a glass stuck oo his eye, secured thereby
muscular contraction alone, we should morel.

The scenes are in ordinary or middle life in

in the minds of his friends hero that some neeident
had befallen him, and yesterday they started out
in neaten of him.
Upon reaching his premises, they !nuns] n man

visit his son-in-law, and thathe had purehnsed the

strengthen the suspicion that Matthias had been
murdered, and the party commenced to examine
the well near the house with books, where, to their
astonishment, they found his remains wrapped In

MONTGOMERY CO., Dcc. 4,18 N.
' There aro some questions of a public
character which cannot ho brought within the
circumscribed limits of party lines, or made
the tonch-stono of party Pally.
One of those is the subject of a tariff. Good
men of the Democratic party may differ horn
each other on this point, sonic advocating the
existence of a tariff for revenue only, whilst
others may countenance the establishment of
a rate of duties which would afford a greater
degree of protection to the manufactured ar
ticles of our own country. All may bo equally
honest in their Impressions ; and the first
principles of the Democracy wo profess, go to
justify the maintenance of such diversity of
sentiment, and tolerate the perfect enjoyment
and expression of opinion on the part of all.
As with the tariff question, so it is with the
prevailing difference of opinion connected
with affairs in Kansas. There cannot be,
these should not be, any rule, line, or plum
met regulations, by which thu sentiments of
Men, and especially Democrats, must be
bounded; and he is usurping a censorship
which neither common justice nor public
feeling will sanction him in maintaining, who
denounces any portion of our party as recreant
to the Democratic faith, bectuise they do not
make their judgments chime ivith the peculiar
views which ho himself may happen to enter
tain.
You know as well as I do, that, throughout
the last presidential campaign, the provisions
of the Kansan-Nebraska bill were upheld by us
at being in strict accordance with the doc
trines of our party—that is, that the people of
the Territory should decide all questions of
ideal government for themselves, involving, of
°course, the question whether slavery should or
should not exist within its limits. This doe
trine was essentially incorporated in the plat
form of principles laid down by the Cincin
nati Convention—it was maintained by our
presses and our orators during the whole pro
gross of that excited contest—and it was re
,ailinned and declared by Mr. Buchanan, the
'honored head of our party, after his election,
as it had been previously concurred in by him,
in Ids leiter of acceptance of the nomination
made under the Cincinnati platform.
Now, the spirit being conceded, and It can-'
not be controverted, that the provisions of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill embody the principle
that the will of the people is to bo supreme,
why is any man to be denounced, or why
should any set of men be tabooed, because he
or they may differ from it portion of their fel
lows as to the extent ofpriviler which ought
to be allowed to the people of Kansas, for the
ttelaration of their sentiments on a subject so
interesting to themselves, and so intimately
connected with their future harmony end pros
perity?
In accordance with the expressed declara
tion that the voice of the people of Kansas
should be heard, the President appointed Mr.
Walker Governor, and vested him with au
thority to make all necessaej , arrangements to
secure protection to every legal voter in the
exercise of his just rights. All know how
faithffilly and efficiently the Governor per
formed his duty t and although the fact has
not yet been made officially patent, there is
every reason to believe that the President is
fully satisfied with, and entirely approves of,
the measures adopted by Governor Walker.
Tho 80i(`, question now is, whether the Le
compton Constitution shall he submitted, as a
whole, to the suffrages and for the acceptance
of the people of the Territory, or w limiter
Congress shall be called upon to admit Kansas
as a State of the Linton, without further Me
ntality
Wu may lay aside, as a matter of minor inn
! portance, the fact that the members of the
Convention which framed this Constitution
were chosen by a small minority of the people,
I for the opportunity of voting for delegates
to constitute such Convention was presented
to all, and if any neglected or refused to par-
Wye& in said election, the fault and blame,
if any exist, Must rest upon themselves. If,
kuided• by unprincipled and unscrupulous
Maders,'atel animated by unworthy and fac
tional sentiments, a majority of the voters of
•
failed to record their votes on a question of
such vast public concern, they must abide the
cousequences of their neglect, and pass upon
the elements of a Constitution, from the for
mation of which they excluded themselves by
their own act.
Now, like yourself, I am clearly of the opin
ion that, as the people are the source of all
power, so there nover can be hallo, but always
good, in mnbinitting all matters of general mo
ment to their honest decision. Theoretically
and practically a Democrat, I define Democracy
as meaning the extension of "the greatest
good to the greatest number ;" and, as a se
qrtence, I cannot but favor the submittance of
all questions in which the rights and privileges
if the people are involved to the people them
selves. I quarrel with uo fellow-Democrats,
who believe that the doctrines we avowed
before the last Presidential election will he
carried out faithfully, by submitting the
"slavery clause" merely of the Lecompton
Constitution to the people ofKansas ; because,
according to their view of the matter, it may
be so. But, for my own part,l believe the
plainest and most direct exercise of any duty
to be the most proper one, and hence, 1 co
incide In opinion with those who think that
we not only conform to the letter, but also
carry out tho spirit of our construction of the
Kansas-Nebraska act, by bringing the consti
tutional question distinctly before the people
of the new Territory, leaving it for a majority
of them to decide whether they hill be go
verned by the whole or a part of tho instru
ment which has been prepared, or whether
they will hold another Convention of dele
gates, elected by the whole people, and frame
another Constitution which will be more en
tirely In accordance with their views.
And here let Inc remark, en paystini t that 1
do no/ agree with you in opinion, that the Le
eompton Constitution is not open to amend- '
ment for seven years. The idea I entertain—
and I think I ant correct—is, that if the Con
stitution was adopted now, and Kansas ad
mitted into the Union under it, there would
be nothing to prevent the people front calling
a Convention immediately, and altering and
amending it to suit their own views. The
schedule says that after the year 1864, amend
ments may be made, &c. flat it does appear
to me that any construction put upon it, to
the effect that the people limit be bound by
an obnoxious form of government until 1864,
must be a fttrced one, and repugnant, at once,
to reason and the genius of our Government.
Wo all hold to the doctrine that the people
have a right, at any lime, to alter and amend
their form of government as they shall deem
proper; and It our doctrine he true, then the
people of Kansas, if admitted into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution, lit 1838,
may, in 1859, make any modifications or
changes of their forts of government, not
inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of
the United States, as they may see proper.
1 ant in titvor of havingan expression of the
opinion of the people of Kansas on their Con
stitution entire, not because Governor Walker
or Senator Douglas, or any other prominent
Democratic statesman favors it ; nor do 1 re
nounce my views, because the editor of the
Washington Union, and Senator Hunter, and
other equally prominent Democratic politicians
and statesmen oppose such reference. 1 ant
In favor of it, because I ant in favor of bringing
every public measure directly home to the
people, and because I have full confidence
that the people themselves best futon what
their interests require, and trill act intelligently
and conscientiously upon all questions which
may he brought before them.
Nor can I, as was rennuked at the outset,
consent to regard a difference of opinion on
this point as a breach of party fidelity. If
we did not possess opinions, we should lie
mere puppets—if we dared not to express such
opinions, wo should not be 'freemen. The
American is not to be placed on either horn
of such a dilemma—and \No, as Democrats,
would be false to ourselves, did we not recog
nise each pther's right to hold whatever views
we please on minor points, so long as we do
not infringe upon or violate the cardinal doc
trines 01 our political faith.
There is no occasion for the display I,l' heat
or violence In thy quarter on this subject.
Congress will doubtless do its duty in the
premises, and act with clearer lights spread
out before the respective bodies than we can
possibly possess at the present time; and if
it should happen, as happen it may, that the
whole matter be referred back again to the
people of Kansas, the editors and politicians
u ho have exhibited the most rancor,and emit
ted the most steam in relation to it, will have
the greatest cause to deplore their impru
dence, and lament over their injudicious and
misspent zeal. AN OLD DEMOCRAT.

THE TARIFV.
For Tie reese.l
Your correspondent at Lebanon, C. B. F.,
declares that my arguments are metaphysical,
and elaborate, etherial and refined, and instead
of meeting them, falls back upon statements of
facts which I conceive ho misapplies, and fan
cies that to my mind should not be indulged in
by one who appears to be so well read in the
"poetry of science." Flora Merlimsey may do
very well at Newport or Saratoga, Mit is out of
place iu an essay upon trade or finance, and I
do not think strange, and I am sure your read
ers will not, that my arguments aro too meta
physical and elaborate for these who are
schooled in such reading, and whose sympa
thies are evidently with those , u nfortunates
who have " noo4ing to wear."
Those having vothiag to eat being by far the
most numerous class at the present time,
must claim my sympathies, and I have no
doubt they will differ in opinion with C. B. F.
SS to my style being too metaphysical and
elaborate, and will regard his failure to meet
my arguments as an implied acknowledgment
that they are a little too rough in the edge for
him to try his mettle upon.
0. B. P. informs us that the American
people reject common sense and self-evident
truths until " the misery anti want incident to
the stoppage of manufactories" force them
reluctantly upon them; therefore, anv decision
that they might make upon the terldquestion,
wore it submitted tolhem, could hardly be re
gardedas a satisfactory settlement of the ques
tion, nor would Übe of a permanent character.
But will ho kindly inform us when or where, in
tills country, thew ,elf-evident truths were
first eliminated, and who is entitled to the
credit of having discovered this novel and
grand Idea which for the Psture, I presume, is
to be the "be-all and the end-all" of every
tarilf essay? C. B. F. is certainly compli
mentary to the Intelligence of Atur people,
when ho proclaims that they are' so dull and
stupid, that even the promptings of self-Interest
will not induce them to countenance common
sense, or to appreciate self-evident truth,
" until a cotton manufactory shall have ceased
its operations," or a rag baron deserted his
post, leaving them to the misery and want in
cident thereto.
C. B. F. and T differ about cam and effect
I endeavored to trace out and show the mutual
relation existing between currency and trade;
and as he charges upon a low tariff an increase
of paper money, he ought, at least, to follow
suit and furnish us with some reasons for the

it is his own theory.
By referring to statement No. 85, in the
financial report of 'SS and '56, it will be seen
that paper-money circulation increased more
proportionately in the first four years of the
operation of the high tariff of 1842 than it did
under the first four years of the tariff of 1846.
In 1842, the bank-note circulation of the
country tuts eighty-three million ;in 180,
ninety million; in 1846, ono hundred and five
million; and in 1849, ono hundred and fourteen
million. 1 have thrown out the fractional parts

and made known by the financial philosophers
of the clay, who now predict ruin and disas
ter, unless the tariff of '42, or one like it, is
enacted, and until the late collapse of our
moneyed institutions bad produced universal
bankruptcy ? Eleven years hare been allowed
to pass by without any unusual noise or ex
citement upon this great question; people had
begun to regard protection as an obsolete idea,
when, by a sudden turn in our affairs, men's
minds, ata lose to account for the disasters that
surround them, tall back upon their old, worn
out prejudices. and, like the fabled wagoner,
instead of putting their own shoulders to the
wheel, would invoke a power above to help

history of the past be overlooked amt forgot
ten. The tariff of 1842 was no sooner enacted
than it was denounced from one end of the
Union to the other. Those who voted for it
admitted It to be wrong, in principle and de
tail. Public opinion condemned it, and the
universal voice demanded its repeal. How
will this popular condemnation be explained by
C. B. P. I Surely not by again attributing to the
people such an entire disregard of their own
interests, and imbecility of intellect, as to in
duce them to resist , 6 self-es !dent truths." Our
explanation of it is, that the Tariff at 42 was
unjust and unequal, favoring the few to the
injury of the many, and especially oppressive
upon the poor for the benefit of the rich;
taxing the necessaries of life used by the
workingman, and exempting the luxuries natal
by the wealthy; increasing the profits of the
manufacturing capitalist, while it lowered the
real wages of those employed by them; en
tirely exempting many articles front the pay
ment of duties, and placing false values upon
others, for the benefit of a single class, to the
injury of all others; in short, imposing +un
just and partial hardens on the farmer, the
merchant, the mechanic, and the laborer,
that inordinate fortunes might be realised by
the favorites of Government—illustrating in
0110 workings, most fnlly and completely. the
•folly of Government interfbrence.
The American mechanic does not need, and
will not accept, bounties from Government,
stung front the hard earnings of his brother
workmen engaged in other branches: his
nature revolts at the idea of a busy meddling
paternal Government, constantly stepping in.
and interfering with his legititnato choice of

our present greatness as a nation, but to the
energy, perseverance, and economy of our
people. Prosperity and affluence can only he
obtained by industry, skill, and the unfettered
exercise of their moral, mental, and physical
Meulties, and Government will best consult
the interests of the great laboring masses by
protecting them in the enjoyment of the fruits

Mutiny on a Philadelphia Ship.-IVe learn
that the crew of the sbipjNaples, Capt. Easton,
which sailed from Philadelphia several days since,
bound for Havana, refused to do duty while:
lying to in the Delaware, a few miles above the
mouth of the Christiana creek, on Sunday morn.
log. The mutineers were eight in number. The
captain directed them to weigh anchor, which the
refused to do, alleging that the crew was not falh
and that they would not go to sett unless It wee
completed. Whereupon the captain and mate
armed themsotves with revolvers and belaying
pins, and going into the forecastle informed the
crew that unless they went to work they would use
summary measures to compel them. Still persist
ing in their refusal, the captain and mate fired
their revolvers at the crew, neither of the shots
taking effect. Seven of the men than ran on deck.
whilst the other seized hold of the captain, when a
scale ensued between them, in which the man
was overpowered by the captain. During the
fracas' the mate was stabbed In the face by one of
the crew, but was not seriously injured. The men
finally went to work, and the ship dropped down
to New Castle, where the captain procured a war
rant, and Sheriff Ogle arrested the crew and nom
milted them to New Castle tail.
I Arrest of an Alleged Murderer.—A colored
man, named William Ridgeley, who is accused of
haling killed his wife by striking her on the head
with a stove plate, acme weeks since, was arrested
on Friday night by Capt tin. Jim Francis. Alder
man linen, on Saturday, committed the accused
fora further hearing.
Ridgeley, it seems. was intemperate. On the
evening of the 11th of October, be went to his
home In a small thoroughfare called Poplar street.
In the vicinity or Thirteenth and Carpenter streets,
and was about carrying off some articles to sell for
the purpose of obtsining the means to procure
rum. The wife remonstrated with him, and a
quarrel took place. During this difficulty the
husband struck the wife over the bead with a
stove-plate or griddle, which inflicted wounds the
poor woman subseq ue ntly died of at the hospital.
Iliddeley escaped at the time. and managed to
evade the police until Friday night. He will have
another bearing on Wednesday next.
Militory ...iffairs.—The Junior Artillerists
were, a few years ago, regarded as one of our Lest
volunteer military organizations. The fact that
they dated their existence prior to the war of 'W.,
in which they bore a Qpirited part, added much to
their position. But the corps suffered alike with
all our military organizations, the result of the
want of proper legislation and earn evinced by our
Legislature for so many years, and appeared to be
extinct. Lately, however, several meetings have
been held by many of the former members and
associates in arms, with gratifying prospects of
BUC , FS in restoring the time-honored Artillerists
to their former position. At a meeting held at
Major Dubaufres', over which Captain Chalkley
"taker (the former commander) presided, nearly
thirty members wore present. We hope soon to
see the Artillerists once. more in the artillery regi-
runt.
The. Nalional Greyt, under command of
Captain Peter Fritz, still continues its organiza
tion, and will, we learn, soon make its appearance
in our streets. Last winter the company petition
ed the Legislature to release them from the penalty
of their failure to be inspected, proposing to change
their arms from infantry to artillery, and loin the
Grey Batallion, Had the bill passed, Captain Fritz
would have been the senior officer of the batallion,
counter petition from our of the Grey companies
went to Harrisburg and defeated the matter.
Captain Fritz is not the man to giro up, so we
should not ho surprised yet to find him iu the Grey
Artillery corr. We trust he will, at any rate,
bring his command out and let the public see
them.

The Leavenworth kl:aws.) forma/ of the 27th
ultimo says :
' If the press of this Territory be an index of
public opinion, then we are safe in saying the Le.
compton Constitution will meet with bat little fa.
vor at the hand of the people. Out of about
twenty t opers published in the Territory, but One
favors the adoption of the Constitutioa ; and out of
four Demooratio papers published in Leavenworth
county, three—the Citizen, Pionee:, and .70:0-mad
—oppose. while the lierahi. edited by a member of
the late Convention. supports the same."
The KiAiipoo Pioneer, a Detneeratio pro.slavery
paper, says:
‘• We are constrained to sac that ne believe that
it is an infringement upon a people's rights, and
contrary to the spirit and genius of a republican
form of government, and in direct opposition t,,
the intention of tho Keens and Nebraska bill,
to endeavor to force a Constitution (no matter hoe
good that Constitution) np.,n a people again , t
their will. We are satisfied that the attempt to
force the one in questien has not only injured the
prospects of our patty for the present, but that
the injury it has received is of a permanent na
ture; for we are convinced that many Democrats
who would have supported the Constitution, had
that whole document been submitted to the peo
ple. now feel themselves forced to oppose it as a
matter of principle. Moreover, we do not beliern
that Congress will receive a Constitution in which
the whole people have not had a voice."
A letter from Leavenworth, speaking of the Le.
eompton Convention and its doings, says:
It has caused thorough Democrats to come out

indignation at this last trick. -Meetings are held
all over the Territory, and different resolutions
are passed. some of them for immediate action, and
others, emanating from more conrernittre ran i
