JOHN TYLER. How almost next to impossible it is for one of the Niairag veneration," out in this "Far West," to con volve thattfle whole country—now filled with wealthy, populous and refined communities, was, not forty years ago—just about halt a hale, healthy tnatt's life time— a mere desert! Even the few who are left amongst us and came here in the early day—who hive seen the progress of the country, stride by stride—must have a difficulty in 'realizir , it. The recollections of the wanes of their yout h . moAt appmir to them more like delusions and dreams, than cool reminiscencesof actu al reality. How hardto believe, for example, that no loafer rgo than July, 1807, the following advertise ment appeared in a New Orleans paper of that date: "For Louisville, Kentucky, the Hoes [BOAT, John Brookhart, master. She is completely fitted for the voyage. For freight of a few tons, (having a greater part of her cargo engaged,) apply to the master on board, orto SAN DKILIION & %VIII E." If it were possible that any body in New Orleans ever proposed to go up the Mississippi in a horse boat, (we say nothing of -keels")—ad mining this, we say—it is not difficult to believe 'of "THE HORSE IROAT," what was really the fact. that she used up a dozen horses before she reached 'Natchez, rind gave up the trip before she accomplished the tenth part of it. But no doubt the horse boat started, and no doubt that it was thought to be at the time a most Improved mode of Locomotion—something that beat the keel boats "all to sticks." And we shall begin to realize that such may—and nny must have been the fact, when we turn our eyes to another statement, which excite. a mixed feeling of incredulity and wonder—oven though we know the statement is true. It is as fol lows, anti first appeared in print at New York. on the 10th of August, 1807 : "Mr.fulton's steamboat, invented with a view to then avigation of the Mississippi, from New Orleans. 'upwards, will move on Monday from the Mirth 'river, near the State Prison, to Albany. The' svnlocity of the steamboat is calculated at four miles an boor; add it is said that it will make a progress of two against the current of the 'Mississippi; and if so, it will snatainiylbe . a very • valeable altquisition to the cum- Mem , 6f the 'Wettern S ates : Well, on the promised Meriting, "Mr. Fulton's in genious steamboat did move" from the North river; :and on the 20th of August. 1807. we have the follow ing account of the experiment from a New York pa per ofthat day: "August 20,1807.—Mr. Fulton's steamboat left the North river, on Monday, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon; at ten o'clock in the evening she was •appasite Tappan; betteeen two and three o'clock the Mowing morning she was seen six miles beyond New burg; and at six o'clock she was seen by the Cornelia, opposite Poug,hkeepsie, performing her voyage with out sails, and in oppositiot tu the wind and tide!" "Two miles an hour, against the current of the Mississippi ; and if so, a very valuable acquisition to the commerce of the Wester States!" How modest, nay bow almost mean, seem these anticipations and cakadatioeet, now that we find these boats which were "invented' with a view to the navigation of the Miss issippi"--but sending up its "cloud by day an 1 pillar of fire by night," in every navigable river. bay, strait, and mesa of the world,—when we see the pitiful "two miles an bout" stretch out to Len—and when we sea that steam navigation has out been merely a valuable acquisition to the commerce of the port—but has actually spoke that West into being! Compared with the lightning speed of our crack steamers, how plod sling (teams the way of the first steamboat! And yet "what as &demote was that steamboat !—how far be yond say older conception! For on, on she went, 'isteitilily en uptight keel, against both wind and tide." Cho world bed never witnessed such an achievment.

PITTSBURGH. TUESDAY, ECE B 2L Tat -AT [ACK on THIC TAILITIP.—Not withstanifing the whig speakers and editors could not bellow .1084 enough, nor_ sciibble articles a, leiScient length in favor of the Tariff of 1842, they are as mime as mice in regard to the deadly await upon the Tariff made by Mr. PHENIX.a whig from New York. They have no syllable of rebuke for Mr. PHENlX—they award no credit to Messrs. B lOLA Ca. and ISGKRAIL.I. for their prompt resistaskie to Mr. rums is.'s effort to destroy the Tariff. It seems that Mr. Phenix and his friends, nothing daunted by the first repulse they gut from the Demo crats, again brought up tbreir bill to repeal the duty on rail-road iron. Once mote he was met by e Democrat ic member from Pennsylvania, who manfully stood up against the whig effort to destroy the Tariff for the benefit of rail-road corporations. His remarks are worthy of notice, and he has the thanks of every true friend of the Tariff fur the manly stand he has token. "Mr. Foster, of Pennsylvania, bring entitled to the floor, spoke in opposition to the bill. and in favor of protection to the iron interest, as one of importance to 1 the nation and especially, to Pennsylvania. In that State, in one of the establishments alone, with a capi- ' taint between two and three hundred thousand idliars, and employing two bandied laboring hands, there ran now be manufactured from eighty to a hundred tuns of railroad iron in a week. When the tints came, if ever, for a modification of the Tarif act of 1842, he would advocate the principles of it so far as relives to iron of any description. And considering that there is an abaft/limos af the raw material in Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and New Jersey—in many cases railroads constructed over beds of the best ore —it would be a reproach to the American chwocter should not this interest be adequately protected." It was finally moved by Mr. HAMM ETT, a Democrat frem :Mississippi, we believe, thist Mr. J. P. PHE NIX'S bill be laid on the table, and the 'motion was carried 155 to 40. And so this first attempt of the whigs to destroy the Tariff of 1842. was checked for the time at least, by the prompt and stern efforts of the Democratic members. We regard tills as a most important move,. merit, and would earnestly invite to it the attention and calm consideration of all honest tariff men among the whigs . They will find in it much mattt•r fur grave reflection. They will ace, in the first place, that all the stories they have bean told about Democratic hostility to the Tariff are grossly false They will see, too, if an overt act is any indication, that the greatest danger to the Tariff is to be apprehended from the whigs themselves. And last , but not least, they will see that this effort to destroy the Tariff is made solely to benefit rich mil-road camporations. It will therefore become them to decide from these premises, whether, as honest Tariff men, they can sustain a party that has thus manifested its readiness to sacrifice the Tariff, sod oppose a party which has vindicated the measure successfully. Whether, in short, they will go with PH/NIX and his frienils against the Tariff, or go with Messrs. Fosres, IN. GERSOLL and the Democrats, in favor of the Tariff policy. The Whigs of this county are implored by their leaders to keep up their organisation, and , to oppose the Democrats and the new administration, principal ly on the alleged pound that it will be hostile to the Ttiriff. Will they consent to be thus cheated with their eyes open? Will they not rather strive to strengthen the Democrats in their honest efforts to maintain the Tariff policy, titan join PHIMIII and hi s friends in opposition both to the Tariff and to the new administration. JUST AS WE PR[DICTED. -- When the editor of the American assailed %Vw if Hovrann sod the other members of the wMgeommittee, for writing an address in which they disapproved the native organization, we said that, notwithstanding his abuse of the Co mmittee, they could back him out whenever they might suppose that the whip party would be benefit ted by such a course. For this we were abused by the Awe. rican, and from the warmth of his indignation many supposed that be bad sworn eternal hostility to How- Ann & Co. for writing the address which bad given him so much displeasure. He appeared to be indisso lubly united to the native cause, and determined to op pose and denounce all who were in any manner con nected with the odious address. A few weeks have gone put, and Wm J llorrsan, one of the Cum mittee, is nominated for Mayor; the A merican places his name at the bead of its columns but refrains from committing itself. It appears day after day without a word for ov against him, and no doubt hoped to slip through the contest without having to re tract his former denunciation of Mr HOWARD. But he was not permitted to escape so easily; the leaders have been at work—perhaps Mr. EL himself—and on Saturday the editor "chewed up" his former denunci• ation of the Committee, and pledged himself uncondi tionally to vote for Mr Ilows.an, and pronounces the natives a mere "faction," the principal object of which is to distract and divide the %hip. This is a grand triumph for Deacon Wets and the Committee who were abused so wa itonly for objecting to the native organization, and we have no doubt but Mr HowAND is as much gratified in thus compelling the American to support him as be would be if elected to the office on which he has fixed such a longing eye. THZ Tattire.—lt has been customary with the whigs to point to Mr. PAT!, 8, of Alabama, as the ex ponent of the feelings of the majority of the fern°. 1 crats in regard to the Tariff. They have denounced him as a free trade man, hostile to every thing in the shape of the Tariff and have made him a kind of bug bear to frighten simple whip, and then make them believe that he and his party only wanted an opportu. nity to destioy the protective policy entirely. The ' late attempt of the whip to repeal the duty on rail matron, has exploded this among other whig false hoods. • Mr..rx vex spoke on the subject, and though he said he went for reducing the Twit of '42, de clared himself •in favor of a revenue ditty--"tibirty per cent, if necessary." Now, it is well known, that the mass of the democracy will gomuch farther than Mr. Payne, yet Mr. P. goes teepee eeeg beyond Mr. CLAY in his Compromise bill. , - And here we are struck with the .total absence of fairness or honesty which distinguishes the whip on the Tariff question. Mr. Drottir denounced Mr. I Clay asitaving leagued with the anti-tariff men Se.' cause be .went for a treaty per cent duty. The Ga zette denounced Mr. C. trrbeing hostile to the Tat iff for the sumo-reason. Vet the whig party have not hesitated to denounce Mr. PAMN/kand the por tion of Democrats who think with him, as .anti-taaiff men, though he distinctly declares that ite is willing to levy a duty of (kitty pci cent. Will honest Tariff men ponder on these things ,~,,,< :: s y"fatj% ['The Gazette says that the Post published two or three articles in relation to Mr Howsureu"re /igloos opinions." No such articles ever appeared in the Post. We noticed a paragraph published by the Age, stating that - Mr 'ff s Mende bed thresbene4 to prosecute any one elms would refer to his ."religious views," and we noted, on two er three ocessiont, the singular circumstance that the Convention from which he received the nomination bad not said one word in Gym- of the Biblti but beyond this we have not es. pressed any opinion of Mr 'noway:les pins predilec tions.

If Deacon White had expressed be fire the election the opinion he now does. shoat the riven, the fifteen Whigs would have discharged him in stinker, fug misrepresenting Mr CLAY'. opinions.

He also says that BZMTOM'S project will meet with no better fats than the President's. - HC says that the Tariff question will bO "staved off," and dolt there will be "undoubtedly a called session." What means this writer can have of knowing what he says, we can not tell. He may have some reliable data *bout the intentions of the pre go Congress, but be surely can know nothing aboulufia chances for a called session. As mutters stand at present, we can see no possible reason fur calling one, and we do loops that the mea sure may not be resorted tn.
