PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1844
FOR GOVERNOR,
H. A. MUHLENBERG.
HAPPMAR DENNY AAD THE COMPROMISE BILL.
—Mr'Biddle, in his remarks at the Tariff meeting on
Saturday last, when speaking of the following resolu
tion offered by Mr Kerr,
Resolved, That this meeting concur in the sound
scorn of the Hon Harmar Denny that the Compro
mise act was "an abandonment of the protective pol
icy,"—thattlie varying operat ions of that act have ma
erially injured the stability of capital invested for the
protection of homeindustry, and that general ruin and
distms have attended its operations both in regard to
credit and protection,
Protested against any allusions to the by-gone no
tions of the chairman of the meeting, Mr Denny, and
said that it would be an insult tic any member of Con
gress who might have once agreed with the Chairman
oh that subject, but who like him, had seen his folly
and changed his views — had grown wiser as he had
grown older.
Had Mr Biddle any authority for stating that Mr
Denny bad changed his views on this sultj •ctl or was
it a mere inference of his that Mr Denny had increas- 1
ed in wisdom as be had is years? The reseltitien of
Nlr Kerr contains the opinion held and published by
him in 18:33. The Pittsburgh Gazette of June 23,
1942, contains an account of the proceedings of a mass
Tariff meeting, held in this city on the day bcfore,from
which we make an extract to show what were his opin-1
ions at that time. That paper being in the confidence
of Mr D: and one of his special advocates for a place
on the ticket with Mr Clay, will certainly be consider
ed good authority. Hear what it says—
" Wilson M'Candless, Esq.. and the Hon. William
Wilkin; then addressed tho meeting in defence of
"Protection for Domestic Industry. and pronounced
"the odious Compromise Bill, as did also Mr DEN
“NY, the cause of the prevailing distress.”
Has Mt Denny changed his views and "grown wi
ser as ho has grown older?"—Will he "abandon the
protective policy" and go over to "the nullifiers of the
South," where Le charged Mr Clay with having gone
in 18331—D0 the chances of a nomination to the Vice
Presidency require such a tir'scrifice of principle and
consistency on his part?
The wear and tear or conscience which was Let:ca
nary to induce so genuine au anti mason to yield up all
the principles of that party and submit (hy way of
compromise, .we suppose, to bring the antimasons in)
to allow his name to be placed on tho ticket with Mr
Cloy, a high mason, should have been sufficient. Then
why ask him to swallow his opinions of Clay and the
Compromise Bill, as published in 1833 and 1842?
rjr The Gazette says the resolutions offered by Mr
KERR were insulting to Mr DEANY and to every
whig at the meeting. We are at a less to understand
how that could be, unless Mr Denny and every whig
present are opposed to measures that are deemed to
bo of great importance to the interests of our city.—
The sentiments of the resolutions were,
First, sustaining the present Tariff.
Second, in favor of protecting American Mechanics
and Manufacturers.
Third, approving of President Tyler's conduct in
signing thepresent Tariff bill.
Fourth, urging the propriety of establishing a Na
tional Armory at Pittsburgh.
Fifth, repelling the slander that "the rivers at Pitts
burgh are dried up one OW the year and frozen up the
other half."
Sixth, concurring with Ron 11.1111111 AR DENNT in
his declaration that the Compromise Act was an "a
bandonment of the protective Tariff."
These are the sentiments of the resolutions, and we
should like to know if we are to understand that Mr
Denny and the whips who were at the meeting, are
opposed to the measures they were intended to sustain.
It is true, Mr Biddle informed the meeting. that Mr
Denny had grown wiser since he denounced the Corn.
promise
act, from which we inferred that Mr D. is
now in favor of the principles of that measure, but we
did not know that it would insult him and bin whig
brethren to say that the citizens of Pittsburgh were in
favor of the present Tariff—in favor of establishing a
National Armory at this city, and that they repelled
the slanders uttered by those who are opposed to the
interests of our enterprising population. If the Gazette
it correct. Mr Denny is now in favor of the compro
mise; he does not approve of the present tariff; he
does not desire the establishment of a National Armo
ry at Pittsburgh, and be believes with Messrs Ran
dolph and Clay, that the Ohio at this city is "dned up
one half the year and frozen up the other half." Al
though Mr Denny may have grown wiser as respects
the tariff, and now agrees with Mr Clay that thecom
)romise net should have been preserved inviolate. yet
there is still room for further improvement. and if he
will pay a little attention to our "river list" he can add
something to his aqueous knowledge,and in the cow se
of time be convinced that at some periods there it a
good deal of water in the Ohio at Pittsburgh, Clay's
assertion to the contrary notwithstanding.

We understand that ho was the principal disorganizer
on the occasion, and that his speeches and conduct
generally tended more to disturb the harmony of the
tneoting than any thing else that occurred. He un

vote on the resolutions. and so contemptuously did he .
regard the citizens present, that he pulled out his watch,

it was that in the contest of 1840, every southern state
—every Anti- Tariff state in the Union—except two,
voted against Van Buren! The southerners are
generally wideawake to their own interests, and would
not be likely to abandon Mr. Van Buren if they deem
ed him as thorough a free trade man as Mr. B. tried
to make him out.
ADDITIONAL RitioLUTIONS.—The following reso
lutions, we are told, were adopted at tho meriting on
Saturday, under its second orgonization.
Resolved, That the former President of thri.ineet
ing, the Hon. H. DENNY, has acted in such a manner
that deser yes the severest censure of the working peo
ple of this district, in refusing to put the Resolutions
advocating the Tariff and the Wester* Armory.
Resolved, That the resolutions offered by R. 1 - 1,
KERR, at the DENNY MEETING, be nowadopted, and
that they be yublished in all papers friendly to the
Tariff and the industrious classes, and that a copy be
forwarded to the PRESIDENT of the Unit. d States.and
to our representative in Congress—by the president
of tbis meeting.
THE TARIFF MEETING.
In pursuance to call, the friend. ofthe Tariff met at
the Court House, on Saturday afternoon, April 6, and
organized by appointing Hon. HARMAR DENNY,
Chnirman, THoS. BAKEWSLL, JOHN M'CASPLICY,
JACOB MILLER., JOHN ANDERSON, JOHN SAMPSON.
and EDWARD STEVENS, Vice Presidents, and S. W.
Black, Wm. A. Irwin, Win. Shinn, and Richard
Edwards, Secrelariea.
The call of the meeting was then road as follows, to
wit:
The citizens generally, without distinction of party,
opposed to the Tariff Bill drafted by Mr. M'Kay,,,
chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in
the House of Representatives. or any alteration of
the present Tariff, are respectfully requested to attend
a meeting to be held at the New Court House, on next
Saturday afternoon, at. 3 o'clock.
After the organization, Hon. RICIT•RD BIDDLE,
addressed the meeting with great ability, and submit
ted the following resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted.
Resolved, That we have witnessed with pain and
surprise the recent movement in Congress for distur
bing the provisions of the Tariff of August, 1342, to '
which the industry of the country has been rapidly ad
' jesting itself.
Resolved, That the effects of the Act, as thus far
developed, have t been of the mostsatisfactory character,
Everywhere an improved condition of things is visible.
The arms long folded in despondency find ready and
profitable employment.. Capital which had been lying
idle, or which had sought a temporaryrefup last ocks,
to watch the coeree of events, has come nut from its
! biding places in open day, and engaged fearlessly in
!production. Tho cheerful throng and press and hurry
of bitiiness meet us at every turn, where before all
was gloom and irresolution. And yet this is the mo
ment selected for i , novation by the very Committee of
1 WttVi and Means, which in its report holds the follow
' ing Language:—
"It may be expected of the Committee that they
"will make an estimate of the revenue to be realized
"'under the rates of duty they propose to establish, but
"{they feel themselves wholly incompetent to do so to
"any useful purpose."
And again, as to the prospect of en adequate reve
nue under the present act, it is said:
"I nfowmation which has reached the Committee,
"since they have had this subject under consideration
—and which is reaching them at the present time
"—tends to this conclusion."
Now the only pretext for change is an apprehended
deficit in the revenue. Aud here we find it conceded
that the Committee cannot estimate the productive
ness either of the existing Tariff, or the one they offer
in its place Thev are willing to strike atall that has

They proclaim thnt their scale of duties is but experi
mental, and that the national industry must be held in
suspense, until a majority of the Committee shell be
able and willing to see their way more clearly. end de
vise at scene future period, a scheme that may promise
stability.
Resolved, That the report of the Committee of
Ways and Moons. in which, their gratuituously

surplus," repeats a fallacy too often refuted to be dart.
germs at this late .lay. We do not ask, and have uever
tusked protection for Manufactures except so far as
they influence the general e etisre. The most zealous
ftiendsof the Tariff are those eagal,eed in rival pin suits,
precisely, because, in the tan:tit:tee of Mr. .1 effereon
it places the Manufacturer by the side of the Agricul s
wrist, and thus permits an exchange of commodities,
without reference to the sliding scale of English Corn
laws. They have seen that under itsoperationmoney,

supposing that by Commercial Treaties a temporary
and precarious foreig n demand might be cleated, yet
how little of the produce whose sale now scatters pro
sperity, broadcast over every township, would bear
transp.utation ? Suppose the workmen of our great
manufacturing establishments to reside at Sheffield or
Manchester, instead of Pittsburgh, how many of the
hundred articles they now buy from the murket men
and women would Bross the Atlantic? Let the pre
tended friends of Free Trade and Agriculture Bev

tory for exportation! These are inawly illustrations.
We value them because they ca re hly. They bear
the stamp of truth and com rro nsettee. They are o
pen to every man's observatio and reflection. They
are the best answer therefore to vague and pompous
declamation.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for
warded by the Chairman to the Hon. C. Darragh,
with an expression of confidence in his zeal and abili
ty, to resist to the uttermost a project so fatal to the
E;est interests of the country.
Sundry other resolutions were then offered, some of
whieb partaking of a party character, and others not
coming within the call. the meeting, after some dis
cussion, adjourned without taking any action upon
them.

the moat important product of K.'ntucky soil is hemp.'
The value of this crop, he states, "rises two and a
quarter millions of dollars, of which $1,900,000 in
value is manufactured into cotton bagging, bale rope
and corder, and the residue shipped in its raw state
to the Atlantic ports. Of the cotton bagging about

An Indiana paper says, that public opinion is now
decidedly in favor of the much injured Catholic priest,
who wes lately convicted at Evansville, and sentenced
to the Penitentiary fer five years, for an alledged rape,
sworn upon him by a dissolute and abandoned woman,
through hatred. The same paper thinks it highly prob
able that he will he shortly pardoned by the Executive;
which ought to he done forthwith; for all are now, to
a man, convinced of his innocence. We consider that
he has been treated most shamefully, and are borne out
in our opinion by almost all that have known him for
years. The Louisville Banner endorses the above
statement. S.:rely if it be so. the poor man has been
most cruelly treated.—Cin Corn.
A SECOND MONROE EDWARDS AFFAIR
An astounding attempt at wholesale swindling, by
means of forged letters, a /a Monroe Edwards. has
. jest com.s to light, as practised upon a merchant et
Mobile. \Ve learn from the N. O. Tropic, that Mr.
Robert S. Bunker, of Mobile, acommission merchant,
received a letter which proves to ben forgery. signed
Curtis BoltomE tq., of New York, for many years the
heed of the welVsnown house of C. Bolton, Fos
Livingston, under date 44th Febrnary, unclosing a
note wi It endorsement and his authority to draw on
hint, the pro eels to be employed in the purchase of
cotton to be shipped to New Orleans, and consigned to
Messrs Fosdick & Brother, and by them to be held
subject to the order of James V. Eaton, as per instruc
tiurrs from a person signing himself Alexander Ctith
, ben, contained the same letter.
Mr. Bunker, after submitting the whole to the in
spection of a merchant in Mobile, who had been fa
miller with Mr. Bolton's writing and signature for
several years, and who exp eased his opinion that the
endorsement and letter were genuine, 'proceeded to fill
the order. In the mean time James V Eaton writes
from New York to Fosdick & Brother thata shipment
of cotton would be made by Mr. Cuthbert's agent in
Mobile. and that his agent in St Louis would also make
a consignment to them en his account, that he being
detained at the north longer than be intended,
wishes them to remit his address at Harrisburg,h, Pa.,
three thousand dollars in New Orleans notes, en account
of said cotton. This part of the scheme being very
clumsily executed. it excited the suspicion of Messrs'
Fosdick & Brother, who declined making the advance
requisite.
Mr. Bolton's subsequent letters making no allusion
to this endorsement, and authority to draw on him.
caused Mr. Bunker to suspect that all was not right,
be immediately came to this city in time to regain
possesssion of the cotton, and frustrate this wall-con
certed piece of villany.
