The batithent 1812, • 1 'l5 and 'l4, on the northenifrontier, were famil iar to the :nation. as houehold • words, To no single mind, to no single arm, had the nation been more indebted fox the glorion* victories then gained, than tilde, whom !the 'Convention ' had that day put in‘, nomlnationfor the office of chief. Magistrate, of thie Republic. Again, be had been called upon to Mille difficulties in the South, and by his' military skill he had brought !affair* to such an issue, that what had been .a loannina-4 wir; was terminated with but little bloodshed. ' ' ; ' • • Once again hi%ad been called upon to mettle dithrolties arising M our extreme north tuatara state, from : disputed bounderiea.

Every battle field from that before Vera Croz, one of-the strongest fortifications in the new world,. up to Mexico and the halls of the Month:aims, bad been the came of • glorious victory. His whole military career had been one continual scans of triumph, and in the Mexhan war, he had received what be well deserved, iite thrutha of, the government and people. From 1812 to. the-present boor, km man had discharged the duties devolving upon him with 'more 'fidelity to hie country than General Scott Surely his fellow citizens should reward him in the only way in their pOwer, by fleabag ,him to the highest dace is their gift. He believed that this glozioni Union wee safe, no matter who guided it. - It was founded . en principles of piglets,. which would ensure the I perpetual safety of our Instituting. ` Still he thought that there were certain qui:diens of great moment to this nation, boimootwf with those institutions, .which.would be eating in the hands of those persons who bad hitherto been friendly to them. • ! He believed ituit • the time was rapidly up :preaching Whin the people would be called on to select betweetraen.

Be said again, that they had that day performed . the 'gratifying dutyof placing the name of General Winfield Alec et• -before the people of Western Pennsylvania, as a candidate for the presidency.

Tbey Anther said that he had the moral resolutionith do what wee'right; and certainly it required a man of great courage' to discharge those duties. He most do right, even if for the" l time being his conduct did not =et with the, approbation of his fellow citizens.

Pennsylvania had alwaye been sueennithl, end that her vote had decided the question. Ile mentioned these &chi, not be. muse they were new, but to 'ahoy the power which their voice and exertions had in the Na. Spool Legislature. Now why ahonid they not repeal the existing laws which hampered their industry? There Iva", swing sad convincing .reasons which ought to be regarded with favor, and should appeal to the remelt of every man. This State, in her corporate - capacity, had a deep interest in the matterin other words, her betusury was deeply affected by the laws which Congrerustiesied. If they remembered that 4 portion of the public. improvements had been constructed to reach the mineral depoalts of the State, and that, in fact, the prosperify of all the nubile worts depended upon a system of protec tion to home industry, they would see the neces alty6f an adequate tariff. lie old, in support of We position, refer more muircularly, as he had done on a previous occationita the Delaware disision of the canal, opening ni!'the valley of the Lehigh. • The quantity of coal exhumed in that val— ley, and brought to market by meson of that canal, was so great that it pays the interest on the cost of its construction. Take away that coal trade, and the public records would show that the tolls received would not pay the ex- pause of its-superintendence and repairs. A systens of revenue hid been adopted which did not afford adequate protection to our iron and coal interests. Suppose the manufacturers of Philadelphia county were struck down, the coal ,would cease to be brought to market; thus, at • one ow, two-thirds of the revenue of the Dela ware &sal would be taken away. Thoy would thua see hevrimportant to the State were proper i revenue laws, whieh would protect their menu. I factures, and in moaning, protect their coal trade, and all other beanchel - nfindetstry. 'lf they would go talc her portions otthe State they would end that t o remy mantifettdries were situated in such potations that the public improvements conveyed to them.articles of pro duce, merchandise and raw =deviate, and ,cat , fled away their manufactured articles. If a Sys tem , of laws were adopted which struck down these indristrisl pureuite, deficit would be at once mated in the public treasury,. The instant the treasniy is, affected," the value of real estate must diminish ; thus they were every iv inter ested in the passage of a protectivetariff. But were there not other Oases interested lc • iolitataioisg proper revenue' laws; and while many had spoken of the manufacturers, be would not enter into any dieousaion in regard to them. It was oolinecessary to Bay that they most feel an interest, • end • deep one,, in this • subject. But another elate was interested, that class which made their living by labor. Those who earned their bread by 'the sweet of their brow, must feel the deepest piterest in the support of a eye- tom which would support them. He desired to speak practically to the people, and to give hie reasons for the opinions which he entertained. His fellow citizens weft aware tket r . ,pnhet lands, the laboring man had neither part nor parcel in the government. They too 64% inter ' est in it- The government had placed them up ,. on • different Weis from that which (hammerless occupy in our own country. They gave them food, and whys-40 order that with it they might give them strength to labor, but they only gave them the food necessary to support their physical energies, and asked them to toil from the uprising to the downeettiog of the MY %Hui 'this was not all, for the helpmate of his bosom, and the children of his loins were also doomed' ' to toil, and to teilferrimr; All this. too, for the purpose of procuring - what would keep body and soul together. This WAS the State of affairs on which his *pietas were based, and by which; they were - sustained. The laboring classes here occupied a different pupation from.that which they filled in other, lands, and why! They were Called on hers exercise the privileges of the elective franchiseLj 2 , they were electors--they were likewise ,r called on to fill public teem as well as to vote for pub lic officers... They were asked to do all thisintel iigantly, to know what they were doing. They were asked to educate their children, so; that tams the parents left this mortal stage, their children would come forward and fill their pla ces. This very portion of our citizens gave strength and form to our. free institutions, and he asked them, was not this government bound to afford them inch protection as to avoid the competition of laborers in countries where they exercised no such privileges. 'Unless the gov 7 moment gave the laborers protection, and their children instruction, he warned them that s fa tal blow would be struck at our prosperity. ;The laboring clam here must be surrounded with, a protection which would afford them-Come meats of escape 'from competition with ,pauper abroad. It this were not done ours was not the paternal government which it wits represented, to be. It they would take the trouble to examine, they mast see that neither inanufacturer.nor laborer would succeed, unless the latter were protected from the pauper labor of other lands. r He ad , roasted the system of protection because it wee . necessary for all parties. There was, and there ought not to be, as be had said in Allegheny' I City, any antagonism between labor and capital; I they were mnittal,ly dependent 'on each other— one was th e resul t; of the other ; and under the free institutions of this country, capital could not exist without - lebor. We bad no system of laws to place property' in a channel from which it could not flow. Prolthrty, with us, could not be locked up inn family, and raisin there. Not I labor formed, and labor used. to keep capital with us. We labored, in this country ; and why? First, a¢il most important of all, because it was the great law of God. Next, be- Minas it was o law of our physical system, ab , aolutely necessary to secure health, energy and sound sleep. Again, because it drives disease and Idleness from our homesteads, and prevents. the transmission of disease to posterity. it affords enjoyment, and brings protection to old age. Slimly, then, there was no Ontagonisin between labor and capital t and they who said they dif feral, spoke falsely, • because they enlist be mu tually dependant upon each other. Then why should not labor be protected and honored? Could man be mimed in the performance of any duty on earth more honorable thanthat la bor-which the laws of his nature called upon him to perform to secure peace and prosperity to his children? For his part, be would tell them that if there were any occupation MOM !imam ble, Ile knew not what it us ; and he pro nounced that man who did not respect labor not I only a fool, but a knave,. equally regardless of the interests of noddy' and his fellow . man, Now, did the laws give . tbat, security to the la- boring man which he bithrequired and deserv ed? He did not deem' It necessary to enter in to an argument upon the subject, for the history of this Commonwealth proved more conclusively than he could, that they did not. If they would link around them they would see that one half of their manufactories were falling into decay. Many establishments had been altogether aban doned, and semenl branches of our industry so depressed' that they wereho longer carried on. Thousands of hands have been - forced 11 relin quish the occupatkoss which they had learned, and been driven to Beek eziployment in other, branches of which they had hid no previous' I knowledge, and which of course were not pleas,. Jag to them. Looking at the state of affairs amongst us in this point of view, he asked them if It was not evident that they required Laws for the protec tion of the nadMud indmitry; Why, Winona the counties tbriagh which he had passed, _ititidn the last threeweeks, more than half their= establislunentabad been id..

Such, was the cane here now, and such it would continue to be, although, of carafe, the suffering us not so great, until our manufacturers were protected. Made would be driven into other channels, and ruin brought on all,-Until laws were passed, regarding. and pro tecting' home industry. lie believed that if amoral Scott, whom they bad that day nominal , ed, were elected, this lamentable state of affairs would be remedied; and he had every mean for believing so, -because tho s General belonged , to I that party who bad always bee n e consistent I I friends of the tariff policy. Ile la them that I that tentleman had always acted w tli thatparty, 1 ind upheld its principles. Ono (those prin ciples, the foremost and brigh . 'of all, was protection to home indurdry. Whether or not he ' (Clem S.) should be elected, was a question of considerable importance, because en it depended the question of protection or non protection to. American Industry. '. . _ ~ In 11340 the people determined -to hare a change in the laws regatiting the admisaion of foreign goods, They rose in their might, end o mom on' Mr== Allegheny county. The Whig party had elected a President of the United Staten. that President went into office, and through his influence, ma jority of the nadinpal councils had been chosen entertaining sentiments similar to hie, and the tariff of 1842 had beau passed. They'll knew bow, subsequent to the passage of Ibis tariff, Immediate life and vigor Lad-visited the manu factories of this great city, and of the whole LIS= eiogle foottwhich had .not been effected boned ciaffy.by the tariff of 1842?

They said they were its friends; and in blazoned letters inscribed.= their banners, had tieelaredhhttir adhere:we to the taril Since then they hod stusreetted in obtain ing power, and their 'first sit .was to strike from the Statute book the tariff of '42, and substitute for -it the toe! of 46, which was destruetire to the interests of this great ,• - bin& lie was sorry, my sorry, to say flit the tote by which it we dristly'pessed, bed been'-glees bye cilium Of Penzoiylvsnii.

That man bid received honors from this Stets, yet bed be turned his band spinet it, by giving . he out- ing vote. It was alleged at the time`ot the pal ms* of the tariff of 1846, that our induatria I pursuits would not be affected by it; and vari ous causes had combined to postpone for • short period its injurious effects. Still the pectic, tie?* of the friends of protection to home inane. try, bad unfortunately been realized. To prove thie be need go no further back than last week, when, In company with a . large number of his friends from Allegheny reunty, be bad taken • ride on their new railroad—and it very good railroad, be must - say' it was; bet in passing along it One thought bad made him uneasy, and that was, that A, was nifing over itritita iron. - Ail along the line of that rosa were hills abounding in Iron ore ; „and yet he had been =tared by the gentleman who managed that road, that the iron of which its was contracted was mannhicturell in England.— Thus bad the laborers of Western Pennsylva nia bees, defrauded out of the manufacture of this iron, and the egrieulturalists of a market idr their products. These were, -it was true, unpleasant topics toerhich to allude; but if the system were not changed now, affairs would grow worse. They would have been Changed at the last session of Congress bad it not been that flier Pennsylvanians bad been found so recreant to every principle which ought to bare governed them, as to vote against an amendment of the tariff of 1646. So long as the people manned to elect men hostile to thou interests; so im portant to our prosperity, they never need ex pert to have the tariff of 1846 repealed. The wholeCommnuity, to gamest!, must actas a uniti then would their manufacturing interests be safe. They mast speak their opinions plain ly, and he knew of no better manner of letting those opinions be known, than through , the me dium of the ballot box. Wheneier the people said that protection must be given them, there it rnould be yielded, and never otherwise. In view of these results, how important was the coming election! If it were merely s.ques tion as to whether, one man or another should be elected, it would be a matter of no moment. If persons were elected who trued their opinions upon the Reeding platform, he warned thorn that they were in favor of system of protection merely for the sake' of a revenue—chat they were in favor of the presentsystem, whlchdrain , ezi the country of the precious metabb by ,the emelt otimports over exports. The next See lion would, be trusted, teach these misguided . politicians a lemon which they never would forget There were many other que stions to which he would like Mull their attention, but time would not allow. If the friends of Gen. Scott succeeded in electing bins, they would carry sock strength into Congress as to prOcure an adequate promo tion to home industry. Coy.
