• 'The cost to the importer. .
By the above statement it will be seen that iron
will oast, delivered in New York under the 30 per
cent. tariff of 1846, more than it.cost to import it
in 1844, under the tariff of 1842. This calculation
is based upon the common iron with which Amer
can iron has not held a a strong competition. Re
fined iron—which competes more strongly with
American, being of higher cost in England—will
be higher in price. It is a fact that American iron
which is nearest the English refined in quality is
now sold at a less price, by several dollars per ton,
than the same article imported even .under the tar
iff of 1816, allowing the price in England remains
the same as now. The cry is that the new tariff
will induce the English to advance in their prices.
Ifso, then it is further protection to American iron,
as for every pound sterling advance in England, an
additional duty of $1 50 per. ton must be added
under the thirty per cent tariff of 1846. If people
will look at these things in a business light and not
merely as politicians, they will find that they are
perhaps crying before they are hurt,
• From these statistics, it is hoped that the tariff
of 1846 will not prove quite so ruinous as the panic
makers have made it.

The proprietor of the Glendon Iron Works, a-,

is it that the owner of these works does not corn

The Panic Makers.
Every true friend of his country's prosperity
should discountenance the effort now making to
create distrust among men, and thus derange the
business affairs of the country. The whig pa
' pers are daily filled with statements calculated'
if not contradicted, to do any amount of mischief]
at home, and also create a faire impression abroad.
The statements-going the rounds of the whig pa
papers that, this and the other manufacturing, es
tablishment, bas, or shortly will cease operation,
are, we believe, all false, Still they will not be with.
out effect. In Europe these publicatiOns, will, in
all probability, create the impression that most
of the .manufacturing establishments in the United
States will have to cease operations, and of course,
will encourage them to increase their shipments,
to this country. A moments reflection ought to
satisfy every manufacturer in the country that he,
can best promote his own interest by discormtenan
cing,, the efforts now making by whig politician% to
create a panic in the country.
We, as is well known, opposed the passage of
the act of 1846, and are now in favor of every
modification necessary for Pennsylvania, but we
will not aid in getting up a panic in the country
which will injuriously effect every interest save
that of the Wag politician
We commend the following extracts from differ

From theiSeii.Haven (Conn.) Register,
THE IRON TRADE.

The Amoskeag Manufacturing Co.' makes a

old 'stock. This neiv" stock' now sells at V.O per
rent. advanee.—Baston Pa.:l,Thursday.
The "New Haven (Conn.) Register of Monday,
the 10th inst., produces the following proofs of the
thriving condition of the manufacturers:
hirge manufacturer in this city, told us on
Saturday, that the prospect for a good fall business
was never better than it is now, and that so far from
discharging his hands he could not get as many as
he wanted. He is a Whig, but is not to be paniced,
to help out political demagogues. A new factory
has been started in Wallingford, we understand,
since the passage of the new tariff law, with eve
ry prospect of doing a good business, and we•hear
of others, in different parts of the State. A new
cotton factory is about going into operation in
Hamden, near this city. In fact, the evidences of
prosperity are all about us; and the confidence of
sensible business men is too strong to be shaken
by the efforts of the panic makers. The whig
press may succeed in injuring the credit of some
of its friends---but that is air account they must
settle between them."
The Boston Traveller says of the "new city of
Essex," in Andover, Massachusetts:
"The streets of the city are already regularly
laid out, and many boarding houses erected, and
the foundations of one or two factories. Some ap
prehensions are felt as to the influence of the new
tariffbill, but though it may damp thezeal of many
for purchasing land, Scc., at present, it is not
thought that the general progress of the city will
be at all retarded. It is even salt; that in ten years
it will equal Lowell."
From the Northampton (Mass.) Courier.
"The new cotton factory at Bensonville, two
miles west of this village, has been started. It is
fitted up with the latest improved machinery,
which is the most beautiful in operation we ever
beheld. With the capital the conipany have,
large business will undoubtedly be done, and with
the new silk factory and other establishment near
by, will create quite a village• Several new dwel
lings have already been erected in the vicinity, and
more are in contemplation. Joel Hayden, esq., of
Haydenville, on Monday last, purchased a site near
that village for manufacturing purposes, with twen
ty-four feet fall of water. It is reported that a
large factorywill soon be erected.",
These are indeed evidences of•ruin which afford
very little encouragement to the panic which the
whigs are laboring to get up.
MORE ATTRAUTION AT rue "Esuct."--Ax

Ice Cream Saloon," certainly evinces a strong dis
position to make his establishm .nt the most fash

FIRE!
Our citizens were aroused from their slumbers
at about two o'clock this morning; by the alarm of
fire in Kilboumtown, which proved to be the line
mill of Messrs Comstock & Chase, situated on the'
canal a few rods north of the late disastrous fire,
and filled with machinery of different descriptions.
The loss of Messrs. Comstock & Chase, in build
ing. machinery, &c., is estimated at .fifteen thou
sand dollars.
Amos Tufts who occupied a part of the building.
with his pail factory, loss $l5OO,
John Lapoint, who was burnt out at the other
fire, had his machinery ready to resume business
—loss .5.500.
Mr. Luseomh, who was also burnt out at the
other tire, had in lathes and . fuiings appertaining,l
about $lO/0.
There was a number of other mechanics who
occupied portions of the buildings who have lost
their all.
There was a large amount of lumber destroyed
together With finished stuff for buildings, all o
which was destroyed.
The whole loss will exceed $25,000.
Messrs. Comstock- & Chase, we believe were in
sured for $2,500.
The water had been drawn out of the canal a
few days since, and the wheels had not been run
ning since Wednesday last. There had been no
fire about the building since Saturday, and judging
from . the - time the fire was discovered this morning,
in the sh'avings, in the rear of the' building too,
leaves but little doubt that it was: the work of an
incendiary.

The Tariff - acts of - 1842 and ISI6
We clip the following from the Journal of yea
terday, in reply : to an. article which„ appeared in
the .Pest of-Monday Morning: •
"Wooloaree; 1842, 5 per cent. 1810, 30 . pe r.
cent
Now this is a horrible attempt at imposture.
There is no such thing in the Whig Tariff of 1842
as a duty on "coarse .Wool” of 5 per cent. The
act imposed a duty on
"Wool, coarse unmanufactured, costing 7 cents
or under at the place of exportation, 5 per cent; all,
other wool unmanufactured , 3 cents per pound, and
30 per cent ad valorem."-....fournia of yesterday.
The editor of the Jotirtial, it will lie teen, declares
explicitely in the above paragraph, that "there is:
no such thing in the Whig tare of 1812 as a duty on
coarse wool office pei" cent." We nuiv ask the read
er to examine the qucitatioa given in the above ex
tract from the act of 1542, by the editor himself,
which proves that he is in error and that we are cor
rect. <4 IVool,coarse unmanufactured, costing 7 cents
or under at the place of exportation, five per cent."
The same kind and quality of coarse wool, unman;
ufactured, under the act of 1846, is subjected to a
duty of thirty per cent. Of this COIaSE
which is subject to a duty of but fee per cent.
under the act of 1812, and thirty per cent. under
the act of 1816, more than TWENTY THREE
MILLIONS OF POUNDS, was imported in the
'ear 1545, every pound of which, we believe:
came directly into competition with the American
farmer. Of this there can be no mistake. Experi
enced wool growers and wool dealers regard the five
per cent provision of the act of 18.12 as very detri
mental to the intereste of the farmer. Of this fact,
however, we have testimony in abundance.
Ilxxiir S. RANDALL, Esq., of Cottlant
New York, an extensive wool grower, in reply to
the Circular of the Secretary of the Treasury,says:
, -It is believed, howerver, that fratnts ef an ex
tensive and serious character have been perpetrated in
Ithe invoicing of these wools. Numerous specimens
of wool equaling our eiwicest Saxon are in the j
hands of various individuals throughout the coon

facturers—such importers stating that they were
from bales of South American wool admitted mi.'
der the five per rent. ad valorem duty, and conceding
that large quantities of a similar quality were re
ceived by them from the same source. It is alleg
ed that some of thr smaller manufactories of good

Mr. P.i.r.NE, a Massachusetts farmer, in reply to
the Circular of the secretary of the Treasury
says

In connection with the above statements, pro-'

vision of the act of 1542, the well authenticated,
fact that the amount of wool imported into the!
country has greatly increased since the passage of.'
that act, is worthy of considerat;on. Li ISIS, be-1
litre the existing tariff act took ! effect, the amount
of wool imported was less than elrecn and a 11(11'1
millions of pounds—last year the amount brought
into the country was but little short of TWENTY , -
roun MILLIONS, and it is now the opinion of ma - j
ny Well informed persons, that in 15.113 it will
amount to nearly, if not quite, Gf y minkm, of

-Exectda'zc Session, Senate of the United &atcs.
—Tuesday, .dugust 4 , 15413.--,-11re following mes
sage was receil eilfrom the President of the United
States by Mr. Walker, his Secretary:
WAStIiNGTON, August, 4, 18-Id.
To the Senate of the United States:
I herewith communicate to the Senate a copy of
a letter, under date of the 27th ultimo, from the'
Secretary of Statelof the United States to the Min
ister of Foreign Relations of the .Mexitau Repub
lic, again proposing to open negotiation's and.con
elude a treaty of peace, which shall adjust all the
questions in dispute between the two Republics.—
Considering the relative power op:the two coun
tries, the glorious 'events which Jaime already . ' sig
ns ized our arms, and the distracted condition of
Mexico, I did not Conceive that any point of I na
tional honor couldlexist which ought to prevent
me from making this overture. Equally anxious
to terminate, by a peace honorable for both parties
as I was . hriginally; to avoid the existing war, I
have deemed it myi duty again to extend the olive
branch to 3dexicoi Should-the Government of
that republic accept the efflik in the same friendly
spirit by which it Was dictated, negotiations will
speedily commence for the conclusion of.a treaty.,
The chief difficulty to be anticipated in the no
gotiation
is the adjtistment of the boundary between ]
the parties, by a line which shall at once be saris-,
factory and convenient to both, and sud s as neither
will hereafter be inclined to disturb. This is the!
best mode of securing perpetual peace and good
neighborhood between the Republics. Should the
MexieturGovernmeirt, in order to. accomplish these
objects, be willing to cede any portion of their ter
ritory to the U. States, we ought to pay them a
fair equivalent ; a just and honorable peace, and not
conquest, being ouripurpbse in the prosecution of:
the war.
:.rider these circionstances, and considering the
exhausted and distralcted condition of the Mexican:
Republic. it might hecome necessary, in order to
restore peace, that I Should have it in my power to
advance a portion or the consideration money for
toiy cession of territory which may be made. The
Mexican Guvernmen't !Mohr not be willing to wait
l'or the payment of the whole until the treaty could
be ratified by the Semite; and an appropriation to
carry it into effect he made by Congress; and the
necessity for emit a delay might defeat the object
altogether. I weuld, therefore, suggest whether it

: have the honor to transmit he:ewith a
sealed notice addressed to the Minister of Forei gn
Relations of the Mexican Republic, with an open
copy of the same for your own use. From this
von wilt perceke that the President has determin
ed again to offer the olive-branch to. \l xico.
The President does not believe that any point of
national honor should forbid hint linen making
this tender, especially after the glorious events'
which have thus far marked the progress of the
war. Should the Mexican Government determine
to accept the ofliA• and cuter negotiations, it may
and probably will propose to you to conclude.an
armistice during their pendency. If such a propo
sition should be made, you will promptly but kind
ly reject it, giving at the same time every assu
rance that the President will do all in his power
to bring the negotiations to a satisfactory termina
tion with the least possible delay.
If an armistice were concluded; the two parties
would not stand on an equal footing. The United
States, 'at a heavy expense, now have armies in the
field and navies on the ocean, in successful pro
gress to conquer an honorable peace. Should their
operations be arrested by art armistice, and the
negotiations for peace should finally fail, we should
then lose nearly all the advantages of an entire
campaign. Besides, this sacrifice, great as; it might
be, would scarcely equal 'the evils in any form
which a season of inactivity could not fail to in
flict upon our troops, the greater portion of whom
consists of patriotic citizens whO have volunteered
to serve their country in the confidence that they
would be actively employed. Whilst, therefore,
the President sincerely desires with the utmost

Ordered, That the message, with the documents
communicated therewith, relating, to affairs with
the itepulic of Mexico, be referred to the Com

I 'Vain=lay; :thigyst ii, 1846.e—Mr. McDuffie,
from the Committee on Foreign Relations, to
whom was referred, on the 4th inst., the message
and documents relating to affairs with the Repul.)-
lie of Mexico, reported the following resolution's:

by the President, as indicated in his message of the
6th inst., kir the speedy termination of the war
with Mexico, receives the approbation of the
Senate.
Itesofecd, That, in the opinion of the Senate, it
is expedient to place' two millions of dollars at the
disposal of the President, to be used at his discre
tion, in the event of a treaty of peace with Mexi
co, satisfactorily adjusting the boundaries of the
two countries, and that the Committee on :Rela
tion; be instructed to report to the Senate, in 'open!
session, a bill for that purpose, in conformity, with
provisions of similar acts passed in 1803 and 1806.
The Senate by unanimous consent, proceeded to
consider the said resolutions, and alter debate, on
motion by Mr. M - Duffie, the second resolution was
modified to read as follows:
- .
Remdred, That, in the opinion of the Senate, it is
expedient to place the sum of money at the dispo
sal of the Prezident, to be used at his discretion, in
the event *of a treaty of peace with Mexico, satis
factorily adjusting the boundaries of the two coun
tries.
Mr. Hannegan submitted the following, as an
timentlineut to the said resolutions:—
.:To stike out all after the word Resohyd, in the
first section, to the end of the second resolution, and
insert: That the Senate heartily unite with the Pres

NEW SPELLlNGBOOK.—lcGuffey'snewly.
revised Eclectic Spelling . Book, showing the
exact ElNimi of each syllable, according to the most
approved - principles of English orthoepy. Improv
ed stereotyped edition of 1846. Price 10 cents,
retail: Teachers and Directors of Schools are re
spectfully segue ted to read the following:
To TEACH 15.--171 remodeling this work it has
been attempted, first, to introduce among others
as
many- priniNce words as the space Would anew,
and then, in subsequent lessons, to illustrate by
' examples and rules-the formation of the more im
portant derivativs. To the latter subject about
thirty lessons are exclusively devoted, and on this
point this book is. believed to be more copious and
particular than any in common use. As these
rules and illustrations are so full, many words of
this class have been deetned,unnecessary. On the
last page the rules for derivatives have been gen-
eralized and extended,.so as to include all the more
important 'classes of words. ln
spelling and pronjoaring, the authority of Dr.
Webster has been chiefly followed, although in some
cases, as in the third sounds Of e, o and v, and las
a few individual words, that of-Worcester has been
considered more in accordance with common usage.
The last edition of Webster's large work, publish
ed in 1841 with his Own corrections., and which he "
gave to the public as the last reccord of his opin
ion, the cietaVo abridgment of that work, con
taming in some instances Worcester:s modification,.
and the University edition of 1845, published by
Dr. Webster's executors, have been in the stan
dard of-referece in preparing this work. In all
these, thany„peculiarities of spelling and pronunci
ation, found dry this author's "Dictionary for Pri 7
mart' Shoots,"' and there - .suggested as ithprove
meats, rather thari recorded as usage, hart been
withdrawn, as having failed to 'receive the appro
bation of the public. In some instal:tees 'accord
ing to the plan adopted in the works above refer
ed td, two methods of spelling or of pronouncing a
word have been given,being
considered of nearly
equal authority. Where common usage rs 1%1 ed
upon any particular word, every teacher-should
have the priVilege of choice, and if so diSposed,, of
selecting that wkich is most simple in itself, 'or
most in aceOrdance with arilm, , y, and in that-way
most promotive of simplicity in general construe-
tion.
The slassLtication of words, according to the pro
nunciation of the at - anted syllable, will be found . a
material assistance to the pupil ancLthe teachet.
The conviction that system is an important and in
all departments of education, has been strengthen,
ed with each successive year of an extensive per
sonal experience on the subject. -
In the system of syllabication, the chief object
has been - to divide words hi such a Way as to indi
cate most clearly their pronunciation.- When; in
addition to this, the formation of a word from its
root can be shown by the division of its syllables ;
this also has been done.
It is hoped that this work, in its present form,
may receive that favor which has been so .exten
sively given to the other volumes of the . Eclectic
Series. For sale by the quantity by •
