CONNOLLY, W. M. EDGAR THE WHIG ET'TACIC ON THE T•llll7.—The Ga zette has not yet dared to say a syllable against the attempt of J P011.1.4 . .8 Pure ix to destroy the Tariff policy in general, and to prostrate the interests of rentwylvania in pat ticular, but it auemps to make up forks inconsistencynnd its treachery to the Tarif by quoting a resolution passed by a loan or corntv mee ting of democrats iu Tennessee, against a Protective Tariff. This mean and miserable subterfuge is entire ly worthy of the nature and habits of the GAZelle, but it will not satisfy the bonestfriatula of the Tariff in the whigparty, who have no sympathy with Mr Piles lI ' S movement,and would wish to see it denourced. The Gazette wishes us to explain the anti-protee thre resolution which, it says, was passed by a little meeting of Democrats in Tennessee. There is not much difficulty in that. We suppose the people who com fused the meeting tho't that a Tariff for Protection ~►aaadverne to their interests, and like a meeting of -the friendsof M CLAY, held in Georgia some time glace, they thought it right to denounce the policy. If "realest countable for the resolutions of fellow-demo crats in Tennessee, the Gazette is equally bound to an siver for the heresies of the Clny-vrhigs of Geitrgia.— The effect of each meeting will he about the same in amount, and we are free to say that we differ with the **exactlyas much as we do with the other—albeit. ifterermessee meeting was composed of Democrats, stadthe Georgia meeting was composed of Whigs. Se mach in reply to the Gazette's call for explann watiOn. Now we shield like that paper to tell us how much danger them is to the Tariff policy from the action of a town meeting in Tennessee, as com pered with the deliberate and systematic attempt of Mr. PHES ix and his friends to alter the existing Tar iff law, with the ultimate view, as we ha4e a right to conclude, of changing the whole Tariff policy? A few persons, or a few hundred persons, as the case may be, meet in a county town in Tennessee, and ex press the opinions of the persons present in regard to the present Tariff,—J. PHILLIPS Po Eit ix, who represents the feelings of more than five tkovaand lair in the city of New York, and backed by many caber influential men of his party,moves in the highest coancil of the nation, to abolish the duty on a leading article of import? Will the Gazette tell us which of these movements is the more dangerous to the Tariff policy I' If the Gazette cannot answer this question, we think that the honest friends of the Tariff policy patties will find no difficulty in answering We again tell the Gazette, and the leading whip of Pittsburgh, that they must speak out on this impor tant movement of the whip in Congresa. The mass of their own party will not be deceived by a dogged silence, nor humbugged by a week and miserable at- tempt to draw their attention from events transpiring lit - the Congress of the nation, and to direct it to the Illaceremenui of a littlemerlag in Tennessee. The honest Tariff men among`Se whigs are already in- quiring why the men who were Dover) , indignant at W W Iftwts because he voted against taxing Tea and Coffee, and were se willipg to denounce M'Kays' bill to snoilifs the Tariff, arils° quiet under Mr Patsies offer to abolish, entirely, the duty on an important article. The honest Tariff men among the whip, de not forget that the Democrats have stood side by side with them in every effort to sustain the Tariff policy, and they approve .of the resolutions passed by the Democratic Mayoralty Convention against PHICN I X . ll project, though the Gazette has not dared to allude to norinsert them. And, we repeat, the Gazette's notice of the meeting in Tennessee will not be taken as an equivalent for its refusal to censure the move 4nent of Puestrx. ItV'There is not a man iu the whig party whose principles we consider more illiberal and proscriptive, than those of Wx .1 HOW* RD, the whig candidate for Mayor.

But his strong political prejudices render him utterly unfit for the office to which be aspires, and the recklessness with which he has opposed those who do motagree with him in political matters. and his eager te persecute and misropresent them, is sufficient do make the //bevel minded portion of the public -dread to place power in the hands. But, if Mr Howard has not changed his opinions 'within the last few week., there is one un't in his . the. - racier which, in our eyes, is sofficjent to cover a multi. lauds of Ilia whig sins. In the address which was issued by himself and other whig leaders, ho boldly proclaim el it's opposition to the natifes, anal chitractei ixed their efforts as those of "knavery" and "falsehood." This is his only redeeming principle; ho_shhores the waives; believes them to be knaves & falsifiers, end warns the whig party not to unite with the faction. This is Mr Howard's pmblic opinion of the nativos, ex pressed before he was a notninne with hopeless chan ces,uni since they hare taken such strong grounds a ai'nstitaint, we do not believe that any private efforts lousy make to "hack out" from it, will be effective inconvincing them that he has changed his opinion of their knave r y and falsehood. The editor of the D:ezette bids fair to out•rival TALLRTRAND and rateCt MaryEarricH in all the arts of cunning and diplomacy. He is now making prodigious efforts to divide the democratic party in the coming Oelesta. It is perfectly astonishing to see boa he can conjure op "fixed° rs" in the democratic array, and a.ssign them motives and modes of opera tion. The "factions" he speaks of have no existence except in his own sickly Brian, and we can tell the Moen whigs that if they have nu other hope of elect ing HOWARD than through di visions in the democracy, prisdlooeri by the connitig Deacon, Ow), had better give it op at once. and let the democratic nominee for Mayor go in without It etrUgg le. .

Thepttblic will know how much credit to give the above statemem, when they remember that Mt Howard wet accused of signing the address himself, and of course he did not do en without making himself as ritatinted with its contents. Messrs Eichbaum, Bayne, and Gracy, publicly dis Claimed having em knowledge of the address before it appeared in the Gazette, and, of course they are not responsible for its abuse of the Nailer's. But Mr How ard has no such excuse; he knew that it was forth coming—perhaps wrote the objectionable portion of it —and when it was ready for the press, signed his name as one of its authors. If Mr. Howard had as little to do with the address as any of the wove named gentlemen. why has he not followed their example and informed the public under his proper signature that his name was used withottt any authority from him? The American cannot per suade Mr. Howard to such a course. rip The Gazette said on Saturday that if the Beard of Trade had desired it, it would-have "co-operated" in the effort to extend the influence and usefulness of the Institution . . And so, seeing they did:not think pro per to ask him, the editor, iti.the most magnanimous manner, resolved to lend them a few of .his giant exer tions anyhow. This is surely a notable instance ofgen emos and throws the example of this;4ener ous Indian" far into the shade. If howeviteAhe "eir operation" of the Gazette with the Board of Trade should be attended web no better results than those which flowed frmt its 'To-operation" n ith the whig party. the Board should respectfully decline its assis tance. Tag ILL' sots /AMIS.—The intelligence by the A cadia, of the progress made by Messrs. Oakley and Leavitt, Commissioners for the State of Illinois, in ad justing the affairs of the bonds of that State with the European creditors, is highly gratifying. They had but two working days. says the Journal of Commerce. after thew arrival in England, previous to the sailing of the Acadia; and of course they had not been able to see all the strong parties to the subscription. But from - the interviews had, they were greatly encomia_ ged. It was proposed that ten capitalists should com bine together to make up the deficiency. Of these six had already been procured, among were the Baring.; Marline. Jardine & Co.; and Rothschilds & Mr Leavitt and Col Oakley designed to proceed to Amsterdam, in a few days, to engage use co-operation of Hope & Co. Mr Leavitt was extremely well re ceived by the bond holders, and is doing efficient ser vice. The tenor of Governor Ford's letter, denounc ing repudiation and declaring in favor of taxation, was extremely gratifying to the foreign creditors of Illinois. The Commissionera expect to embark in the Cambria, on the 4sh of January next, on their return home. rrThe Governor of Georgia, in pursuance of an act of the last legislature of that Stale; - has offered the Western and Atlantic railroad for sale, to enable the State tor - meet her liabilities.

These were of course not counted ; but the fact shows that a majority of the voters of Tennessee were fur Mr. Pdlk, in preference to Mr. Clay. Had New York voted for Mr. Clay, these two hundred lust votes would have decided the Presidency. TWENTY-EIGHTR CONGRESS.

The success of his election, and his prospective ele vation to the presidency, have wrought no change in Gov. Polk's plain, social, hospitable, and dignified re pliblican habits. The insinuations of some of tbe whig prints to the contrary are gross libels.

The following account of a coati in lowa is given in a letter from the Upper lowa is now the finest frontier country in the WPM, and it setting up very fast. Judge Williams related tc me some very amusing scenes that he had witnessed, when he first started on his circuit fat the purpose of -organizing and bidding his first court among the rude frontier people. In many counties they had not time even to erect any kind of a shelter fora court-house.— The best provision which could he made, was to firm seats of logs beneath the shade of a large tree, with raised seat near its body for!the Judge. The Sheriff would open court by mounting a stump, near by, and crying ••Ok yes, ok sea," &c., announcing to the whole universe that the court was then opened, and in viting all who had business to attend. Tee Clark sat upon a block of wood, and used a shingle on his knee for a desk. After the Gland Jury were impannelled, and cha iged by the Judge, they were sent in care of the Sheriff to a large hollow, or 'lrvin, in which they could sit in conclave beyond the view of the Court, or spectators. A smaller hollow or ravine, was apprepriated for the petit Jury. The grass grew very tall in the neighborhood, and if thejarymen lay down in a ring in the grnes,they could still more perfectly exclude themselves from ob. sorvution. rilts Judge said, that one day, after bay ing charged We Grand Jury, and dismissed them to their (laners in the large hollc w, a tall, raw•honed, live Yankee looking unto, with bat in his hund, ad dressed him as follows: "May it please your honor, I wish to speak to you."

"How? what is that, "Why von see. said the Yankee, "there's some fel lows who's Darnel' fraid the Grand Jury will find some"; thing ngain'm, which they desurve. and they are stial king up to the Grand Jury on their bellies in thegrass, and kind tit - trying to hear what the Jury are talking about." "No," responded the Judge, with as much gravity as he could command, "I do Ditt allow snaking. Here, M r Sher iff, go station a guard round each Jury's hol low, and if a man is found "seeking," have him brought before me, and I will cause him to be punished. Indeed, if this "snaking" is persisted in, I shall re esnnmeard a special act to be passed, making it a mis demeanor." • The fact was, the J . wlge said, there were present at the time some bare footed, vagrant rascals, who were probably justly suspected of horse stealing, and bad "stmked" it ell the Grand Jury, in older tolind out whether the Jury intended to preseut.tWim.,tand if so, to gain time by this clandestine wanting Mitt' Ainat the yutisdictiou of the Court by escaping into!.

About this time, the Mexican Congress passed a resolution censuring the Minister at War for having issued orders to Santa Anna to take command of the Artny of the Republic, when the Constitution pinhibited the Supreme Executive from acting iu that capacity.
