I am not a coward, but I surely thought tha time of my depar ture was at band, as I bad no otber weapon than a small walking stick, which I drew in a defensive posture, and gave a yell to the ex tent of oiy lungs, tbe echo of which resound ed along tbe barren mountains for fifteen minutes after. His bear-ebip came to a wise conclusion that a man who could hollow so frightful might fight heroically, wheeled about and trotted off along the path before me. That a sensible bear should draw such a sage conclusion, after being stunned by an echoeqealto a first class earthquake, is not at all surprising. We can Imagine that the echo is still resounding "along the barren mountains." 0"Tiiat Pledok.

As our neighbor's reference to us is some what ambiguous, we have to say that we knew nothing of tbe circular until it was in type, in our office, where M r.

There is no ac counting for tastes. Riding on a rail has long since been tabooed as vulgar and disagreea ble, and tbe negro melody of "setting on a rail" bas also become obsolete.

Life Illustrated suys : If reports are correct, this is not the first time Mr. Foster bas been wouuded by tbe little god. Wben we lived in Connecticut we recollect beanog a story tbat runs in this wise ; During bis period of law study in tbe southeastern portion of the State, he became acquainted with a lady of prepossessing ap pearance and more than ordinary accomplish ments, a daughter of parents of the highest respectability, and moviog in tbe most fash ionable circles of the vicinity. Vitb ber be entered one of his earliest pleas, and com menced bis first suit. Tbat be was successful is evident from the fact tbat, shortly after bis admission to tbe bar, aud having obtained an honorable position and business couuecliun. arraugemeots for consummating tbe tnarriupe were made; and all went on harmoniously until shortly before the appoiuted day. During bis visit one evening, he remarked that be believed all necessary arrungeuieuts for tbe wedding were made, and tbu route for tbeir bridal toor decided. He added : "On our return we shall be obliged to devote a short time to our friends bere, alter which, if you please, we will pay a visit to my old father and mother, and spend a few days witb them." Now La Fayette was always a good boy, and was taaght to honor bis father and mother, which early became to biro a pleasure as well as a duty. He bad received from them words of lova and encouragement, which bad done for biut without money (for they were poor) what money could never have dona: and through all bis privations and struggles to obtaio an education and a position io life, he bad been stimulated and supported by tbe thought of tbe pleasure bia success would give them, and be looked forward to the day wben, witb bia chosen one, be should meet them beneath their bumble roof and receive again tbeir blessings, to be one of tbe happi est be should ever experience.

Extract from the Monigamriy and Campboil Debalsof Friday, Jan. 6, 1P57. BON. J. II. CAMPBIIX HRSrOKSIBt.f fOR TBI rAssAoaor ihb tariff or 18i7. . Mr. Montgomery. Dai my colleague who last addressed tbe House Mr. Campbell bas referred to tbe election of Mr. Banks as Speaker, by the Republican party. Mr. Banks, as tin gentleman veil knetr. teas in favor of free-trade. When Mr. Banks was elected, the manufacturers were la a healthy and prosperous condition. Tbe. salutary in fluences of tbe tariff of 1846 were felt every where throughout tbe laod. 1 be forges and furnaces of Peoosyvania were in active oper ation, and were doing a thriving and steadily increasing business. How is it now T Busi ness is depressed ; thousands of men have been thrown out of employment ; our manu factured products have greatly declined and England enjoys the monopoly of our iron market. What has caused this change T What bas been done to extinguish tbe fires ef tbe furnaces, to paralyze tbe arm of Peon sylvania's industry t 1 ask my colleaxne to explain the mystery which bangs over this paralyzing and crushing influence T I will answer fur them. Tbe Banks Congress, of which my colleague (Mr. Campbell) was a member, repealed tbe tariff of lb46, and passed tbe odious free-trade tariff of 1857. this fell like a withering blight on our pros perity. Maoy of our iron men were ruined ; others, who had more capital and energy, have maintained a sickly and lingering exis tence. Tbat was almost a death blow to the interests of oar good old Commonwealth, and tbe iron manufactures reeled end staggered under its force ; and it will take tba labor of years to enable them to recuperate from tba shock ; yet my colleague comes bere to sing tbe praises of that Congress which did the most to crush ami to destroy us. That tariff wbicb reduced tbo duty ou iron from 30 to 24 per centum was passed bere bye Republican Congress, over wbicb presided a Republican Speaker ; nod yet my colleague dares to call inu to task, becuusu he says my vote for Spuuker may influence the tariff. Had not my colleugue butter look to his own votes, lest be may find tbat a Republican Speaker shall egaio sucrifiee tbe interests of Pennsylvania as was done by Mr. Banks T Mr. Campbell. 1 refer my colleague to tbe record of that Congress ; and does be not kuow that the House bill, wbieb did not make reduction on our great staples, was sent to tbe Senate to a Democratic Senate where the honorable Senator from Vir ginia (Mr. Hunter) was tbe Chairman of the Committee on Finance, asd that that Demo- I cratic Senate took the schedules of tbe II ouse tariff bill to pieces, reducing them from a protective tariff wbicb was the essential feature of tbe House bill to those ol a fiee trade bill ? The Seuate, I assert, made re ductions upon iron, aud upon all tbe otber schedules ol the House bill. Does my col league know, aud 1 refer him to tbe history of tuut legislation, that that bill, as metamor phosed, passed the Senate by Democratic votes ; that it was sent back to the House, and the House rejected tbe Senate bill ; that a Committee of Conference was appointed aud thai, although tbe Seuate bill, by tba report of the Conference Committee, was in creased in some of tbe schedules, yet still it was a reduction upon the original House bill T And now, 1 refer my colleage to tbis fact tbat every Republican member of tbis House from Pennsylvania voted against tbe report of tbe Committee of Confureuce. Tbe Demo- uratic members from Pennsvlvania voted for ! I V. a rvAOAn tariff BsifK thn a V n n I . n r.t UAN Mr. Packer. So tbe gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) voted against the ptesenl tariff law, and he is our cuodidate for Speaker. And does not my colleague know tbat every Republican or American member from Penn sylvania voted against tbat bill ? Mr. Montgomery I desire to say, io re ply to my colleague, tbat the committee of coofereuue of the House was appointed by their Speaker of tbis House, Mr. Banks; Mat he wus instrumental in controlling the action of that committee of conference with the Senate ; and that the majority of that com mittee were Republicans. But 1 will proceed with the line of argument. When Mr. Banks went into tbe Speaker's chair we bad tbe tariff of 1840 in operation. It was perfectly satisfactory to the manufacturers of Penn sylvania. It was perfectly satisfactory to tbe manufacturers of all portions of tbe union, ex:ept New England. Lawrence, Stone A Co. do my colleagues know them, laugh ter ; are tbey Democrats t well, Lawrence, Stoue & Co., came to this House, and, as our records show, expended $80,000 to procure Congress to paBS tbe tariff of 1857. (Ap plause from the Democratic benches.) My colleagues talk to us of zeal for tbe protection of the great industrial interests of Pennsyl vania. 1 yield to r.o man in zenl for tbe in terests of my native State. 1 will, therefore, proceed to investigate tbe claim set op here for tbe Republican party. My colleague has referred to tbe action of tbe Conference Com mittee. 1 will refer to tbat matter. Wben the conference bill was returned to tbis House, what was tbe result T It was passed tnto law luj liepuhlican voles. 11 stands upon the reeord to-day, endorsed by a Republican House. Let me refer my colleague to tbe men who composed that committee. Upon tbat Conference Committee, on tbe part of tne senate, was no less a personage than Governor W illiam 11. Sewurd himself, th great exponent of Republican principles, and the Republican candidate lor tbe Presidency oi tue united a tales. Mr. Montgomery At tbe time. Mr. Clerk that Mr. Banks was elected Speaker of tbis lieuse, tbe land or 40, passed by tbe Demo cratic party, and for which wa were dunoun ced throughout the State of Pennsylvania, aud throughout the North generally, was io iuii operation, it was Balislactory to our people ; we uek no more, liut that tariff was repealed, nV the Republican Tariff of icjtpasseu. auo irom mat day to this we have been niautully struggling to regain tbe ground we lost, by restoring tbe Tariff of 1840 the good old Democratic Tariff. At the last Sessioo of Congresa 1 introduced an amendment to the Post Office bill for tbe re storatioa or that Tariff or 184C. Where was the gentleman's candidate for Speaker foond vonog iuu i i no speaker decided my amendment out of order. 1 was determined to lest tbe question, and I appealed from tbe oecisiou oi tne unair. To sustain myai 1 exhibited the precedents of tbis House, where similar amendments bad been sustain ed. But, sir, tbe geutleman's candidate for speaker voted against my appeal. lie would not consent to restore the Tariff of 1846, iter to tepeal the 'lariffofftl. uui my colleague (Mr. Campbell) bas rt ferred proudly to Mr. Banks. Let me ex amine tbat matter a little further. Mr Banks appointed as chairman of a Committee oi ways and Means tbe Hon. Lewis u, Campbell, of Ohio, a Republican. Mr, Campbell was also appointed by Mr. Banks tbe chairman of tbe committee of conference on tbe tana bill oo the part of tbe House.' I be committee consisted of Messrs. Camp bell, Letcher, and De Wilt. Campbell and u ut were nepuoncans. vv no bas for gotten that a majority of that conference committee reported recommeodinsr tha naa sage of tbe tariff act of 1857 that tariff wuicn is now crashing oat tbe life and energy of all tbe great industrial interests of Penn sylvania T Yet a Pennsylvaoian can rise on tbis floor and and pronounce eulogies oc tbat uodoiiui taw. 1 was sayiug these records are stobborn things, aod often show what gentlemen wonld much rather could not be shown. 1 bave re marked, tbat wben Mr. Backs was Speaker, we bad tbe Tariff of 1640, which was perfect ly sansiaciory, and would be perfectly satis factory now, to tbe manufactures of Peaosvl . . -j i . ... , .... ooiu, siop, iuiv our oesi snorts cava dsou txirtsdto bare it tettoisd. My col leaoge (Mr. Campbell) voted in favor of bill, reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, wbicb repealed tbe Tariff of 1846. Yes, sir.be wbo now talks about protection on that occasion Toted in favor of the repeal of tbe salutary Tariff of 1 846, and In favor of tbe report of tbe Committee of Way and Means. But, Mr. Clerk, there is another point to which I desire to advert in passing. My col league Informs tbe House tbat that bill wbicb was reported by the Committee of Ways and Means was a protective bill a bill advanta geous to the manufacturers of tbe North. That is tbe position be assumes bere. Let ns, tbeo, test my colleague's candidate on tbat bill. Mr. John Sherman, bis candidate for Speaker, voted against tbat report, and bere la tbe record. On tbe passage of tbe bill, Mr. Lewis D. Campbell moved the pre vious question. Mr. Campbell On what vote? On the final vote T Mr. Montgomery Yes, sir ; on the final vote on the bill as it came from the Com mittee of Ways and Means. For that bill, my colleague himself voted. He says it was a protective bill j if it is true, then Mr. Sher man voted against protection, because be vo ted against tbat bill. Yon say it was a good bill a protective bill a bill to foster aod protect tbe interests of Pennsylvania io coal and iron. You voted for it ; Mr. Sherman voted against it.. If you were right, Mr. Sherman was wrong ; if you were for protec tion, Mr. Sherman was opposed to protection. Mr. Bunion Will the gentlemen from Pennsylvania permit me a word right "beret Mr. Montgomery Let me read tbe record. Mr. Stanton Mr. . Sherman and myself voted against the bill, because it took tbe duty off wool. Mr. Montgomery Tbat shows tbat it was not protective, and that my colleugue is op posed to protection on wool, the great staple of tbe country wbere I live. Mr. Montgomery Uut my colleague uses harsh epithets to exhibit to us his utter do testa ion of the tariff act or 1846. Yet he voted for tbe report of tbe Committee of Ways aod Means, which left the duties on all tbe articles io wbicb Pennsylvania bas a peculiar interest, precisely us tbey were under tbe tariff act ot 1846. I'liat tariff be pronounces odious and abominable ; yet he voted to continue all its provisions, so far as Pennsylvania was interested. But I do not intend to permit my colleague to escape me so easily. 1 iotend to coufront bim with Republican testimony, to show tbat be voted for the tariff report ol 1857, witb a full knowl edge tbat be would thereby reduce tbe tariff oo iron and elber Pennsylvania products. 1 intend to show that tariff men Kpu!'li"sns, too, wbo knew bow injurious tbat measure would prove went to bim aod remoustruted with bim, and pointed out to bim tbe danger ous coDsequences that would attend bis vote ; tbat those remonstrances were disregarded and that, with u full knowledge of what be I did, be struck down tbe interest of tbe State be represented. 1 read from the Reports of Committee for the year 18.r8, volume 4, page 67. Mr. Stanton, ef Ohio, who is uue of the most in fluential and useful Republican members on tbis floor, speaking of tbe action of the Com mittee of Ways and Means on the tariff of 185 i, tbere states : "1 also went to Mr. Campbell, of Penn sylvania, tbe Representative of tbe iron in terests on tha Committee of Ways and Means, aod told him it would be foolish to allow tbe bill to be reported ; that if he opposed it witb bis influence, it could not be reported ; tbat be would thus be able to pro tect the iron interest, at the rate of 30 per cent., for two additional years. Tbat, if be stood firm, it would take two yeats to strip Pennsylvania of her present protection; aud tbat, as tbu President elect was from Penn sylvania, it would be but reasonable to infer that 'worse' terms would not be oQered during bis Administration than IboBe now abuutto be imposed." Yes, sir, my colleague was remonstrated with. He was entreated to let tbe protection remain opon tbe great staple of Pe nsylva cia. Here is the testimony of Mr. Stanton. t cannot, dare not- be disputed. Tbe folly, tbe madness of bis action I 11 is friend, Mr. Stanton, went to bim and remoustra'ted witb im against this reduction of the land ol the iron interests of Pennsylvania. Vet be stands ere, nuder these circumstances, to read ecteres to me and to others about the votes we bave cast for Speaker. Look at home, sir look at borne ; aud blush for your record oo tbis tariff question. And now, sir, I have done. Tbis contest was not provoked by me. I bave maintain ed a studied sileuce since the opening of tbe session, and I now regret tbe time wbirh tbis debate has consumed- lint when gentlemen call me to task, 1 will defend myself ; and. as tbe debate bas led to disclosures which may be rather unpleasant, my colleague must remember that the coutesl was one which be provoked.
