They have, thought that the home market crested by manufactures was the very best market for the agriculturist.Tu the laborer and artizan Ihey have believed it furnished constant employment and good wages. They held the opinion and expe rience has proved in truth, that so far fiom injuring the commercial interests of the cottntrv. thi policy has only given them . . . j ' L ' . . I ! 7n .f onmerce. All interests have in their o pinion, been benefitted, and by none haa any injury been suffered. A departure frlum this policy and an adoption of tho principle of laying duties without diecrtmi nations lor protection, has on a former oc (anion reduced the government to the verge of bankruptcy, and prostrated every branch of business in the counti y. The nation haa hardly recovered from tliia Sute of thing when an attempt is made again to recur to the same policy which so recently produ- I .....I. j;...l.nn. ffanll' IV ft liaVfl viewed with regret and astonishment the rf the hill through the House of t 6 .Representatives for the reduction of the Ta riff of 1842- We believe this bill to be deairneiive lo revenue, and calculated to paralyze all the business operations of ihe country. Insiead of discriminating in fa vor of our own labor and capital, it diecrim inatcs in favor of foreign labor and foreign capital. In this it abandons entirely what has ever been an avowed policy on the part of the government snd all the distinguished wbt who have been elected to fill the office' of chief magistral of the republic. We hazard without hesimion, the opinion that no candidate who was known to be friendly to this bill, or lo the principles embodied in this bill, could under any circoronroces ob tain the vole of Pennalyvania. The demo cratic parly in thia'State confidently expec ted when they cast their suffrages for James K. Polk, that he was in favor of Such aTa rifl as would afford 'jual protection to at! thegieat interest of the wholo Union, em bracing Agriculture Manufactures the Me. chanio Arts Commeree and Navigation.' We believe tho bill now before, the Senate to be destructive lo each and every one ol these interest. We therefore would most respectfully hut earnestly temonsirate a eainst i'.s pagfag. If the TaiifT of 1642 if- to be altered in any of its details, we hope that a regard will be had lo the business in tereate of she country, and that the Senate will never consent to the passage of any measure so sweeping in all its provisions, eo desolating and blighting to tho industry of our. people, as wo believe the ono pro poned to be. Resolved, Tint it is s part of the princi- . pWof the Lcmocralic party of -'euneylva. nil, ihat in laying duties ppon imports foi , me pnrpi.'in ui raining a revenue to sup port the government, it is the duty of gov- eminent to discriminate ler prtpcii.in M domestic industry i that we believe this prin ciple has tocn held and avowed by nil the great men -who hae been elected to fill the Presidential chair.and thai a departure fromiThey know lhl the vatt si-stem of internal in is pniiuijjic Hill ..mo wuuiu mvii.ve ir improvemeni oi t erntyivania would eeri luiineia cf the country in ruin, and seri-ously feel the blow tint tiruck our Coal injure ibi Dsraorrstn par'y.

A leppiliy preamble and rcjolu'ionu reported by a cooimillpp through their chairman, Hrrison Wrighl, wcro unanimously adopted. We haro only room for ihe following reso 'o'ions Renolved, That the repeal of the Tarifl bill of 1842, at this time, is unwies, unjust and unasked for Unwise, because the re duc inn of the loienue proposed bv ihi, bill is unwarranted by the now condition ol ihe coumry. Unjuat, because under ihe act ol 1142, in our pan of Pennsylvania a- lone millions of capital have betn invested in coal and iron operations, nd thousands of laborers look io these works for subsist encethese investments made on the fiiil nf national legislation ought not, without some chance of rescue be ntteily destroy ed. Unjtkod, because from no section ol this vast confederacy has the demand come up by memorial or petition to Congress oi ihe Executive for ihe prostration of 'home industry' of 'domestic production. Resolved, That lo the Pennsylvania dele. Ration in the House, with one lone, soliia iy yen, we owe a deep, and lasting debt ol gratitude they have been fjuhfd to theii jonstiujents they have understood, felt and scie.d fur ihe bnntfii of iheir State. nd Iron iniereii they knew that the legiti male agent for paying the interest on our State debt, would be paralized by this Dill. --The 'lone member, it is true, is only an- jwerable lo his constituent', directly, and to their care and keeping we leave him. Jiesolvd, That the duty imposed on Coal and Iron by McKay's Bill, is mani festly insufficient io protect these giesl in" teres'.' the millions of capital expended in teveloping ihe vail staples, are to be onk the men who have invested their money, under the provisions of the act of 1842, are to be mailo bankrupt, lo ascertain what will bo the result of an untried theory, to pro- Mire a piautical solution of some 'doubtful loubt,' in the financial operations of our grand experiment.' h'esolvcd, That ihe country under the 7'ariff act of '42 has prospered to an almost unprecedented extentthis we know and seeand we protest most rarnestly scginst this attempt io 'linker al' that which works very well without it.

II our country is evtr lo rrofper, it will be when htr citizens have fu'l reliance in ihe (unmeet and stability of the nations policy. Resolved, That of all (he interests affect ed by this tariff bill that of labor must and wil1) bear the hardest end the haavies blow. Jiesolotd.ThH so far as we can discover this m osl obnoxious and iniquitous bill has been piessed thus far not by the people' wish nor by their demand but as a measure of the administration. With Mr. N ilea we are disposed 'to support the true interests of the administration even ajainst its own opinion Resolved, That in the fidelity and integ rity of her Senators, Pennsylvania reposed her graal and vital interests and feols ae cure; ehe knows with her Cameron and Sturgeon there will be nothing hesitating uo halting to wonder how their couise will be regarded in 'high places.'

IflKXItO. Wo find in the New York pipers a va riety of iriforniaiiou from Mexico hy ilu rf 'jent arrival at that purl, from Mexico son,e of which is not only interesting bn itnporiant. We make the following ix trarls Corrcjpondneco of tlio Xev York Trihuue. Vera Cruz, 30th June, I818. We are all in eominotion here Gen. Bravo haa departed for the city of Mexico io aeenmo the responsibilities of the Presi dency in the absence of (Jenenl Paredrr. who, in prison with the ootienl of Con- y;iees, commands the forces desiinad lo op pose General Taylor, supposed here to bt tar on the routn lo Monterey. The removal of General Bravo from ihii Department occsaion ihe enigmatical ques lull wiitihcr, unrlei the new Generals, the Fortress will not pronounce for Santn Ana and by so doing follow up the movement in his favor at other pointsT There is, with out question, a strong disposition lo do si, m the pail of some of the components ol the army, in making a move of so sertou.' a nature however there must naturally be considerable hesitation; it can hardly bt '.anted through without an almost unani nous antecedent whispered assent. We have truly been expecting a break out of thai nature for some lime past, not because e have any feeling peculiar inimical lo General Pjredea bin because Ihe troop.' believe Santa Ana ihe more energetic man. Wp shall, have more lo cnmmuivicalc on this particular when the next atcamer shall leave this foi Havans. Of course you will be speculating upen whether, if Santa 5na return to power it wiil induce a more speedy settlement ofj differences between the two countries. Ii is, you will be well aware important to na ii.)nal feeling thai we should give the Iroops uf the United Slates a brush as sjvere as the one given us at Palo Alto. Sic; whether we will be able to do so is another matter. Of coorfl you do not wih ihat we thould; f we can only manage to do to, honever just once why in thai case. w w til prove cur mcgnzninivy Vy makicg an efftr to send Commissioners to meet e Commiss'on'pliced I wo small field pieces poining from the United States lorthe adjustment of til existing differences, so satibf actoilly for each of ihe countriet as to prevent all future misunderstandings. rftat, it is believed will be the plan of Santa Ana, and the tame may be also that f Gen. Paredes himself, for he as well a Santa Ana, is fuhy aware that we are not strong enough to cope w'uli the Uniied States; in fact we never intended to go lo war, and would not had public opinion not been impieetsd with the necessity for resis ting the force of circumstances. You will he ai once open to the convic, lion that if Gen Paredes succeeds in gain ing an advantage over the United Stales' Inrces, he will be sealed firmly where he is: if he meet with a reverse, then Sania Ana will be recalled without a doubt. One of the principal objects of Paredes' uking command of i le army in pf mm is to ement the etiengih of the present Govern ment, snd any tucces that he may meei with, wil, mnsi decidedly do to; a reverse will weaken it B. The 'Wochenblatl der Deutschen SchnelUposl,' a German paper published al New York, contains (he following ex' trad of a letter from the City of Mexico dated June 29, 1840. It is difficult to foisee how the unhappy political relations of this country will de- velope themselves. The position of the Kepublic is extremely gloomy. The army which fought on the Rio Bravo beinr vir tually disbanded, the whole North ia open' ed to the North Americans, who we under stand, already extend themselves consider ably, and intend proceeding as far et Mon terev, whence it will be easy to advance further. The South and West coast is in a state of revolt, which has spread as far as Guad- a'jus; Vera Cruz and Tampico are block aded; every where appiehensior. of new pronunciamentos; snd there is no doub but that there is a good deal of underhand maneuvering in favor of Santa Ana. Gov errment seem at a loss what lo do. Congress haa elected Paredes President and Biavo Vice Resident, and as saou ths latter arrives from Veia Cruz the foim i r wi'l atari al ihe head of the troops. Bo it is believed before these see the enemy they will declare Painsl the Government and on the other hand, we cannot conr.fi i where the means for ihe prosecution of il war are to came from. There aeei,i to be no salvation except by 'linking peace al once, and then adopting jtem altogether the reverse of the exist ng one liberal in every respeil ky whirh, perhaps ihe Republic may be saved mm total dismemberment. Under such melancholy circumstances he blockade has as yet produced nmhint; ')ut a mire nominal enhancmenl ol the pn es of goods. The demand, pnr eptihle at tirsl has entirely subsided. There is no he least speculation and ,nolhin g is pu diased but what ia absolutely needcd 0 In' other hand, supplies in ihe whole art insignificant, The discouia'cmenl is increased by thi crisis arising out of the snsp, nsion of pay merits by Government, and an extraordinary icaicity of money.

Speaking of Tampico, the Times says." The Mexicans are, and have been for soma lime, employed in placing the town and mou'h of the river in a belter -tale oi defence. On an eminence, which commands the northeast tide of the town, and the approach to it by the river, they have replaced a dilapidaied mud battery by a good substancial stone built fort, in which the guns are moun ted and iheMexican flag it flying.Thort is slto t circular brick seat at the lowe i end of ihe town, which terminate Ihe evening promenade; this hat been con verted into t battery a Jleur d'eau, lo guard the srproach hy the river, in hich they have placed three long gunr of about twelve English poundt calibre, raising ihe parapet with bags of earth snd surrounding the whole by a fosse The bar is defended by three small chooners.carr yingonelong gun each and placed tcros ihe entrance of tho river: on shore, on (he left hand side, are the remains of a battery, with a sandy foun dation pari of which has lately been swept tway by (he river changing its court", but or which remaini tre sesward and protected by a detachment 0f 0diers.

Since the establishment of protective duties upon Pennsylvania pro ductions in 1842, the main bodv of the de mocracy in this State have stood up sgainst their repeal And yet through this whole period, from whig editors and orators, we have upon this very suhject, been greeted with unceasing misrepresentation and abiisc. The greater portion of those engaged in the coal and iron interests have been of tho opposite faith, bul with unci Iculating zeal ihe democracy of the stale havo opposed reductions that would ope.raie to ;heir disad vantage. For our part, we stand where we 'iave ever stood, the earnest opponent of introducing the Tariff into parly politics, u always wt)!, prior lo 1343, and if division must exist upon it, always should remain e be, a local lalher than a partisan que lion. It seems however.to have been the earn si desire of whig leaders, for three yeara past to make it a party question, and not mly tha', but t!ie prominent and only party question, in this Siaie, Forgetting, or mther di.-gnising, their longings lor a bank tile in ibis country repudiating their 'landing of shame and fraud, the bankrupt aw keeping out of view iboee rank meas ires of consolidation, the viriual assump tion nf state debts by Distribution and the reation of a national debt hy lavish expen litures upon Internal Improvements ihey 'iave songit to narrow our political contcsto o iho Tariff alone, and upon that lo luht the battle for power. Where is this in end? Tell us ye astute pilitical economists and tciiiiaiis of the U. S. Gazette anil Danville Democrat. What do you purpose by forcing a local question into a party one; iy peisevering ahue, systematic misrepre filiation of your felbw citizens?
