Tax bIItVI Al:111LN ISTItiTlOl%.—Now that the
acerbities growing out of the - late contest are somewhat
d the panic 'makers have exhausted their
-softened, an
Wyk
menu, without
of fabierophesiee and silly argu
effect,' we should like to address a few words to the
snore moderate and reasonchle of their own party. It
cannot, surely, be profitable or comfortable to them, to
give credence and force to the forebodings of gloom
Mid desolation so industriously spread abroad by the
snore bitter and reckless of the federal party. Why
should they harshly prejudge the measures of the new
administration, and resolve, beforehand, to oppose its
tenth e policy, when there is set the slightest reason to
suppose that that policy will be hostile to the true
interests of the country[ Is it not the part of
intelli
genceand liberality, to wait for the- developement of
Cul. Pose's plans, even if you do entertain misgivings
afrotabis disposition or his capacity to administer the
government properly? We would wish that every I
ihig would reflect on these questions, and decide ;
whether it is not more fair towards Gov Pout and
snore in accordance with common justice, to with- I
hold condemnation until a trial be had.
The Whigs have alveays contended that the confil l
deoce of every class, in the good intentions of ever to y
ether, wee necessary to public prospelity—that
wantonly destroy confidence in our rulers or our fel
low-citizens was the surest way to bring on disaster
and distress. They demanded, and with success, too,
that the people should exercise a "generous confi
dence" towards Gen Hsantsom, and give him their
wotes, even though he did not think proper to declare,
Circumstantially, all the objects to which he would de
vote. himself if elected President. Why, then, should
his fellow-citizens of any party withhold from the Pre
sident elect that hearty confidence to which be is en
titled by his position, and which in so necessary to
enablehirnao discharge his great and arduous func
tions with cheerfulness and success?
'But what course will the new administration rue
sued? is an inquiry which we hear in all quarters, from
those who voted against him. Relying on the asser
ties& of disappointed demagogues whose personal
hopes are utterly destroyed by Mr Ctsr's defeat, ma
ny honest vilitigs sincerely dread that Col POLE is
hostile to a Tariff, and that his policy will be de
sitructive of Pennsylvania interests, Let us ask all
each to read the following extract from Col Posx's
letter to J K Ks-NE. That letter truly and honestly
sets forty his views and indicates his course on. this
important subject, and is entitled to the respect of
every man, for neither friend nor foe can lay deceit or
duplicity to the charge of J ss. K Pots. Honesty
sad candor are distinguishing traits of his character;
aeons which his bitterest enemies will all concede to
He thus writes:
"I am in favor of a tariff for revenue, such a one as
will yield a sufficient amount to the Treasury to defray
the expenses of our Government economically admin
istered . In adjusting the details of a revenue tnritf,
I have heretofore sanctioned such moderate and dof
irt- 1
•oriminating duties, as would produce the amennt
.revenue needed, and at the sometime afford reaso table
incidental protection to our home industry." * • \
"In my judgment, it is the duty of the government
to extend, as far as it may be practicable to do so, by
its revenuo laws and another means within its power, ;
fair and just protection to all the great interests of the
"whole Union, embracing agriculture, manufactures,
"an 4 the mechanic arts, commerce and navigation."
These are Cul. Polk's Taint' views—and u far
- • - -as his influence goes they will be carried out.
He will oppose the chartering of a United States
lliank, and the strongest friend of such an inston
minuet maintain, with the experience we have had,
`that a Bank is essential to our well -doing. He might
-argue that it would mike our prosperity somewhat
greater—but be cannot deny, that without it, we are
the most happy and prosperous nation on the earth
--Therresident elect will oppose the Dist' ihution scheme.
•=euil it does not re9nire any argument to prove that the
• Effect of opposition ,to that scheme, cannot jeopatd
;the happiness of our people. As to Texas, the policy
, of the new a dministration will no doubt be precisely
*she same that Mr. Clay would have adopted, bad he
- been chosen and its results no one can now Curtail.
So much for Governor Folk's probable policy, as
vathered from his COlfallet and course previous to the
election. Since the election, at Nashville, io reply to
she congratulations of his friends, he spoke as follows:
"In the position in which I have been placei,Ery the
.- • -voluntary and unsought suffrages of my fellow-citizens, ;
it will become my y, as it will be my pleasure,
faithfully and truly to represent, in the executive de
partment of the government, the principles and policy I
-.of the great party of the country who have elevated me
to it; but. at the same time.it is proper - that I should
-declare, that I shall not retard myself as the represen
stades of a party only, but of the l
ecture eople t ime
United States; and, 1-trust, that the e pol of
•the Government maybe such as to secure the happi
ness aeldprosperig of without -distinction of pas.
Now we would ask any honest *big if he can fuild i
• in all this any ground for paniceralarm , andwe would I
submit whether it is not more prudent and more
pleasant to take the President elect athia word, and
confide in his promises to carry en the government for
'the good of the whole, than to put faith in thegloomy
:prophecies of illiberal and unjust men. Give the new
atimisistraiiou your confidence at the outset, at least
kits to deserve your generosity, refuse to continue

posnre of the means used to bring that most mercena

the Gazette of yesterday, evinces much less shrewd•

show that we are opposed to Mr fir s Candles by quo

foolish as the notion they entertained some ten months
since that with $3OOO they could make Deacon White

writer that the spaniel of the fifteen whigs has dragged

they please of that writer's article, as we believe its
influence and their remarks will have about the same
effect on the public mind, and that both are regarded
with total indifference.

to the companies of whites who sought to form treaties
with them. Tho writer of the sketch of his life in the

"About 30 years ago, a man by the name of John

the patrimony of his father, and to provide fur him, if
he would return with him to Pennsylvania; but be

A Robber's Stratagem.—A freebooter taking an
evening walk on a highway in Scotland, overtook and
robbed a wealthy merchant traveller.. His purpose
wa not achieved without a severe strule, in which
the s
thief lost his l.onnet, and was obli ged to escape,
leaving it on the road. A respectable Calmer happen
ed to be the next passer, and geeing the bonnet, alight
ed, took it up, and imprudently put it on his own bead.
At this instant, the rubbed man came up with some
assistance. and recognizing the bonnet, charged the'
farmer
farmer with having robbed him, and took him into cus
tody. There being some likeness between the two'
parties, the merchant persisted in the charge, and tho'
the respectability of the farmer was admitted, he was
indicted, and placed at a bar of a Superior Court for
trial. The government witness, the merchant, swore
positively to the identity of his bonnet, and deposed
likewise to the identity of the farmer. Therese was
made out by this and other evidence,apparently against
the prisoner. But there was a man in court who well
knew;hoth vile did and who d id. not commit the crime.
This warthe real robber r -who suddenly advanced
from the orowd, ejnd seizingrthe fatal bonnet, whic
is
h
laid on the table Wore the-witness, placed
it , on h
own head, and looking hire full in the face, shid to him
in a voice of thunder, "Look at meorir, and tell me
on the oath you have swore, am not I the ronn who
robbed you on the highway ?" The merchant replied
in very great astonishment, "By heaven, yon are
very man !" ''You see:" said the robber, "what sort
of a memory the gentleman-bas; he swears to the bon
net, whatever features are under it. If the Hon.
Judge were to put it on his own head, I der e say that;
you would testify that he robbed you:" The innocent
ptisoner was, on this evidence, at once Acquitte I, be

Deleeratioll of ate Sabbath, 1.3, Rioting.—Yester
day about twelve o'clock an alatm of fire was raised

most disgraceful scene was enacted. A part of them

and doing other damage. Several discharges of fire

but inasmuch as they took no effect upon any body, it
is presumed they wore only blank cartridges as . Mr
Cozens, the Superintendent of the Police, w soon

his prisoner was soon rescued. The aspect of things
at this juncture was fearful—so much so, that a num

ed out the watchmen as a day police under the com
mand of Mr Cutzens and Capt Douglass. This formi
dable body moved up the street and took possession
of the neighborhood of the Franklin house, and after
considerable coaxing on their part the crowds of spec
nem dispersed. During the fight several of our
most eminent citizens endeavored to make arrests, and
escaped very narrowly with their lives. Mr Cozzens
was struck on the right shoulder with a wlole brick,
and Mr Springer, who proceeded to help him, receiv
ed a blow on his head from a paving stone, thrown,

Lesson of Peach Skia—We once saw a young at y
(anti a beautiful young lady she was too) step out of
the .vay upon the side-walk in Btoadway, to do what
the Cincinnati Quaker did, as mentioned in a paragraph
in Satuulay's Tribune --namely, to brush from the
walk a piece of orange-Peal, upon which a gentleman,
walking before hcr, and nearly slipped down. It was
a thoughtful, womanly act, "and we blessed her un
aware" for it. "A bit of peach-skin or orange-peel up
on the side-walk would seem to be a very trifling mat
ter," said a friend, in reading the paragraph to which
we have referred; "but it may prove of very serious
consequence.. I was walking down Broadway," said
he, "one bright June morning, when I met yon

walking with some difficulty between two other friends.
He stopped me to exchange salutation*, and I was
at once struck wtth the change in his appearance.—
"You seem ill, II—," said 1; "what has been the
matter?" "Haven't you heard of rat accident!" said
he. "Not a word." He opened his frock-coat, and
exposed to view the cause of all his suffering. "Two
months ago," said he, -"I was walkingthe street,
when I stepped upon a piece of orange-isterslid for

Civilization in the Back IVoods.—Copt Ross.
when returning from one of his hazardous and unsuc
cessful attempts to discover the North Pole, says that
the first evidence of their approaching the purlieus of
civilization was the discovery of a man hanging by the
neck—a spectacle that rejoiced him and his frost-bit
ten companions exceedingly, as no nations have adopt
ed that mode of punishment except such as are highly
civilized and acknowledge the Christian religion. We
notice that an Indian named Black Hawk was recent
ly hung in the Cherokee nation for the murder of anoth
er Indian named Johnson. This might argue the rap
id advance in the science of government, of the abori
gines upon our South-western frontier. If there were
wanted other proof of civilization, it may he found in
the circumstance that the execution was witnessed by
a large concourse of persons, male and female. The
Cherokee papers do not say whether the by-stand
era amused themselves by cracking ribald jokes at the
expense of thu culprit, or that the light-fingered gen
tly plied their nimble calling upon the expectant
crowd. But for this omission the scene would have
rivalled similar exhibitions in the United States or
Great Britain, and placed the Cherokees upon a foot
ing with the "most favored nations."
When semi-barbarous governments engraft upon the
criminal code this mode of public execution, is it not
time for their betters to devise some other manner of
getting rid of criminals? Would it not be more con
sonant with the spirit of an enlightened age, to have
offenders executed within the jail enclose, before a ju
ry appointed to see the law complied with, than to con
tinue the present practise, so well calculated as it is
to harden the beast and debase the minds of the thou
sands who flock to witness a fellow being expiate his
