TAKE NOTICE.
READ THE TESTIAIQUI
One of those meetings which Pririiiicl
of the days of 1810, and assure us th • ' •
Jersey is awake and alive for her in.,' •,
citizen whose name has. been proposed in
connection with the high oflice of Chief
Magistrate, took place in Jersey City on
Friday last.
0. 'F. gecenh x, Esq., Editor of "L'Echo
d' Italia," the !alien newspaper of New-
York, was among the speakers and he de
livered a most excellent speech. He stated
among many other things, that he was told
when he landed here that the Whigs were
aristocrats, friends of kings and depots ; but
he, in common with his Italian friends here
found that such stories 'were humbugs.—
He had seen Railroads, Canals, Manufae.'
tories, arid other things for the good of 'the
country, and had discovered that the Whigs
were the friends of these measures. In
Europe he hail seen mechanics work for a
few pennies per day. , In America mechan
ics had good wages/and live like the land
lords of Europe. The Whigs he had found
to be in favor opeaprovornents Educations,
and Political ari.d.Religioui Liberty, and he
was in favor of` them. There aro, he said,
:3,000 Italians in New-York, and all but a
few are in favor of the Whigs. In Europe
he had heard of Gen. SCOTT as a world re
nowned Chieftain, but had never heard of
Alr-Prattcv.. In this country he had heard
of PIERCE, of his having been in Mexico,
&c., but had not heard of his winning a bat
tle. Gen. ScoTT was known in Europe not
only as a great general but as a Diplomatist.
He hid found that the Whigs were not foes
of foreigrwrs, as is asserted by the Members
of the other party, Who assert it in order to
save their own crumbling party. Many
other things tvere said by the speaker bear
ing favorably upon the points at issue, but
our space will not allow of their publication.
General RYDER made an effective speech
in which he eloquently alluded to the men
and principles of the campaign. In it he
stated that it was the prose of the En
glish Government to cripple our arts and
manufacturies that her own might be ben
efited. For ought we know British gold
is now circulating in this country to defeat
the Whigs and General SCOTT. The speak
er defied true Democracy, and clearly dem
onstrated that the Whigs were the advocates
and representatives of true Democracy.
Hon. CiLtar.us - C. %rum; State Senator
of New Jersey, aext, occupied the stand.—
In the course of 'hia:well-advised remarks,
he stated, in relation to•the Tariff; that in .
Nlorris County scarcely a•forge was in op
eration, and one large establishment, which
was owned by a man 85 yerirrkald, in which
many persons had been employed for a great
many years past, had now stoppetVynder
the Loco-Foco Tariff of 1816 the operriti,yes
thrown out of employment, and the old man `
after all his life of labor, was made poor.
Such was Loco•Foco policy. New Jersey
will do well this Election. The southern
part of it will do as well as or better than it
ever did, PIERCE is The London Times,
British candidate'. A few days before, he
had a conversation with an Englishman
who is for a short time in this county, who
told him that it took but half a million of
British gold to elect Pout, and PIERCE
should be elected if it took two millions.
Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
Both these influential States will go for
Gen. SCOTT, as the prospect now strikes us.
About the first, the doubt hangs on the very
large vote to be canvassed, and bearing of
the local elections which came off in Octo
ber. In regard to the otlief,Jter votsiy as
sure for the old heargiollllMYo,
This assertion is not ventured onlilt
grounds. Our advices are reliable. The
tone of the canvass is fixed. The Whigs
are in ascendant. Their leaders are too
much for their opponents on the stump.—
The masses show too much fire and enthu
siasm for the confort of theadverse
'The discussions are conducted by the best
speaking talent of both parties. . Some of
them show great ability. 'The rival electors
ride the circuit together, and speak to the
same crowds..
Pennsylvania and Tennessee are martial
States in the impulse of their people. They
have never failed, in national emergencies,
like the war of 1812, the Indian wars, and
the Mexican CaMpaign, to turn out the most
prompt and liberal subsidies. The . Volun
teer spirit, on such occasions, is irrepressi
ble. The diffiCulty is with the Government
to scale„ the too numerous and conflicting ap
plications for service. The States have nev
er failed to vote, for Military Presidents.--,
Both Stood together for JAcKsoN—both for
HARRISON—both for TAYLOR ; and noW, as
we firmly believe, both are preparing to
btand together for SCOTT. The reason is
obvious. The cause is found In the spirit
referred to. The two States are filled with.
Old.Scildiers, to whom the veteran services
of these Generals, and the glories achieved
under their lead; in the earlier struggles Of
this century have come down by tradition,
and to whom the recent fights In Mexico are
as-familiar as household words.

strong in Indiana ; equally so in Illinois,.
.and predominant in Kentucky. But there
* one other feeling, to which we made raf t
..
erence-yesterday, yet more universal—the_
respect due to long and eminent services.--
Forty years' 'public duty; forty years of
bravo, brilliant, ever faithful devotion to the=
country are not likely to be overlooked.—..
Their influence will tell on he ranks of the
opposite party in every section of the Union.
This they have hoped to neutralize in part
by the Generalship PIERCE. 134, • whileihtr,
have thus recognized the stroOst point in,

an article in the N. Y. Tribune headed
"Who pays the Duty 1" to the candid con
sideration of both producer and consumer:
Two fears since the price of railroad iron
in Wales was $22 80, or £4 15s. per ton,
the duty on which Was about $7, whereas,
in 1840, when the tariff of that year was
passed, it had been about $lB per ton. Un
der the circumstances, application was made
to Congress to fix the duty at what it had
been at the date of the present revenue sys
tem,l or at least to add six or eight dollars to
I the amount levied, raising it to thirteen or
fourteen dollars per ton. Congress was
, then told "So long as domestic competition
is maintained, we shall be enabled steadily
to improve our machinery, and iron will not
only continue low, but there will be a steady
tendency to fall in price • but if the English
iron masters be permitte d to destroy our com
petition, the price of iron will go up, and
the money that should go into the Treasury
will go into their pockets." To all these
representations Congress turned a deaf ear,
and the consequence has been that step by
step our iron masters have been ruined, and
their works have passed into the hands of
the Sheriff. Essex County, but lately the
seat of a thriving manufacture, is now al
most entirely silent. Booton has been sold
for we think one-fifth of its cost, and this af
ter having distributed three millions of dol
lars in wages. Armstrong and Clarion
Counties have witnessed the downfall offor
ty out offorty.two furnaces, twenty of which
will shortly have been sold by the Sheriff
within a period of twelve months. Such
has been the casa,in almost every portion of
the Union. Everywhere the men who
were engaged in establishing competition for
she supply of the world with iron have been
ruined and the domestic make of iron has
ne'w`:fallen from 850,000 to about 450,000
tons WOO it might have risen to a million
and a of-tons, and would have done so
but for Britiakfree trade.
Such vast deit action of property should
have been followeVisritli benefit to some
body, and such has cOtainly 4 , i been the case
but to whom ? To the peoplelofth'ikUniorit . ,,,
Certainly not for their production Orucalitir
far less now than it was four years since. al
though in the interim we have added four
millions to our population. To whom then t
To the British iron makers whose prices
have risen precisely as our furnaces and
mills have been cloosed and who now put in
their pockets the whole sum that was, two
years since, asked to be claimed for the
Treasury. Two years since the price was
as we have stated, £4 15s in Wales. A.
year since, it had risen to £6 ss, beingan
addition of $2 40. • NovIIIM R 6 ss, being
a further addition of $4 80—and thus the
foreign price has risen to the whole extent
of the seven dollars that was then asked to
to be added.
In 1650 the British iron masters paid the
cost of getting to market, but as competition
has diminished their prices : have increased ,
and now it is the consumer who pays the
duty. With another year prices will rise
again, and it must be regarded as quite ex
traordinary if we do not see iron go up to
seven or eight pounds, the foreign producers
pocketing the whole difference between that
and the £4 15s, at which it stood when
Congress was urged to interpose and pre
vent them from destroying all our own Ow
naces, forges and rolling mills. ..
