Tho committee having retired for a short
lime, rammed and reported the following
rpHolntiona. whiili were u-
JIICUIIUI" tilivi
intiimoualy adopted:
Tho people of Pennsylvania in a body
without any distinction of party, have al
wavs bten in favor of si regulating the do
ties laid upon imports for the purpose ol
rutting a revenue for the support of the
National Government, as to afford an ade
.quate protection to the business interest of
the country. 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

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

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.

IIoLLENBACH, presided. The meet

and Hon. Lulrer Kidder, in favor ol
the Tiriffof '42. 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

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.

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

her graal and vital interests and feols ae

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

dency in the absence of (Jenenl Paredrr.
who, in prison with the ootienl of Con-
y;iees, commands the forces desiinad lo op

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

nous antecedent whispered assent. We
have truly been expecting a break out of
thai nature for some lime past, not because

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. There have been f-ev

While Ihe great body of the people of
Pennsylvania are opposed to the contempls.
ted radical leductinna of the duties on coal
nd iron while the press wiih unanimity
is speaking a lar.guago of remonstrance
while meetings are held and activo exera
lions making to keep up protection lo iron
masters and coal operators there are
some men who can discover nothing in tho
occasion bul an opportunity to advancejar
titan interests. 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? Why so
Maidenly pretend to abandon your old
neasurcs of consolidation and ex'rai ajjance
lor a new party i-stie, a si ng la question of
taliona! policy? Your protective zeal is
iw born but a few years old whence
is origin? Why silent down lo '42 ami
si loud'mouthed since. Ah geni!emen!
this pmisanism is as unbecoming as it is
inconsistent and neither ciedii or profit will
spring from its indulgence.
