In reference to communications which may ap
pear in this Paper, we havOrie or two remarks to
make. We will insert none without the name of
the author being . first made known to us, and
when inserted; must always be taken as expres
sive.of the views of the_ writer, and not the editor
of this paper, unless the views so expressed are ed
itorially remarked upon and approved.
. .
The fact that whig Senators voted for a bill to
remit and refund duties on Rail Road iron, in cer
tain cases, is carefully hidden from the'' - readers of
the whig papers in Pennsylvania. The. bill for
witch all the vvhigs in the Senate, save one, voted,
actually passed the Senate, and but for the opposi
tion of the Democracy would also have passed the
House of Representatives. This bill, it was sta
' ted, on the floor of the Senate, during the discus
sion, by Mesars.C.IMILOS and IlAo or, if passed,
would take from the (Treasury ONE MILLION
OF DOLLARS, 'which -sum was to be paid to
wealthy stockholdersi in certain corporations,—
The whigs freely condemn all who voted for the
Tariff act'Of 1546, lila not a word has been said
or published by themiin condemnation of the whip
Senators who voted in favor of throwing open, to
some extent, the American ports, to foreign manu_
banters of Rail Road iron. Look at the yeas and
nays and you will see the Whigs and such ultra free
trade Men as C.ttatoc-, 111'llerrzt, LSWI9 and
Covarrir voting together on this bill and seen
ring its passage in the Senate. The bill, if passer's
would leave greatly idjured, perhaps ruined all the
establishments in refinsylvania engaged in the
manufacture of Rail Road iron, for the reason
that our iron ‘ mtn,.ar...yet, hare but little expe
rience, and if requirei to compete with the British,
without protection, we think, must have failed.—
Why is the wbig press so silent on this question?
Is it becatise the bill would have greatly benefited
corporations; or because it was supported and voted
for by Whig Seuatorsi?
,We append the proceedings of the Senate, the
remarks of several Senators, and the yeas and nays
-on the final passage 0 . the bill in the Senate:
In the Senate on the 4th inst.. a bill was passed
"ict remit the duties which hare been paid, or hare ac,
crued upon the it/Tanta - ion of Railroad iron, in cer
tuineasce."
li. -. 1
:Mr. Evans (whig)lspoke at some length in fa
vor of the reloading; of the duty. He described
the hardships Of exacting the duty in those cases
where the iron had been imported, but was not
laid down in consequence of the embarrassments
of 1837. , 38, and . .p.l In those years many of the
States were obliged to suspend these works; and
that had been-the case of course with many incor
porations also. It had been supposed by some, that
that it was inconsistent to advocate the tariff of
1842, and be at the Same time willing to relieve
this descripticin of articles from duty. His jusiti
fication was, that be -egarded the railroad iron as
an article op which the domestic labor of the coun
try was to be 'expended. It required the expendi
ture of domestic indtistry to make the article valu
able and usefiil. It Was estimated that one hun
dred and . fifty millionS of dollars had been expend
ed in the construction of railroads in the United
States. The works increased incalculably the
general prosPerity, and augmented the revenue.—
All that had been done for Mon by the general gee
ernment was the remiiision of about fire millions of
'duty. He. maintained that the United States had
not done enough to. encourage those works, from
which it had :reedit so much benefit. But the
proposed measure s not protective. It was in
tended only to enable,' those companies which were
at present struggling] on, and whose roads were in
an unfinished condition, to prosecute their enter
prise to .a successful termination. It had been
sometimes asked, why refund to States and incor
porations, and not to individuals who buy iron?
But that would be impracticable and impossible.
He would refund to the railroad - companies, be
. cause, by doing-so,he would directly benefit the
fanner. • -;
Mr. Caw asked if the gentleman from Maine was
able to stoic; any estimate of the amount which
would be abstracted !from the treasury by refund
ing these duties? ' ]
Mr; Evans' replied in the negative, adding, that
he supposed the sum. ould not be great. The law
would apply. - only to] iron imported since the :id of
March, 1843.
Mr. Dayton was sorry to differ with his friend
from Maine on any Subject, but in this instance he
Was constrained to look the question before the Sen
ate in an opposite light to that in which he [Mr.
Evs3s] regarded it.; It was no new question, and
he (Mr. D.) had on jmore than one occasion been
called Upon to meet it. The subject was to be re
garded in two aspects—in-the first place as it ap
pertained to the treasury of the United States; and
in the nextplace, asit. related to the domestic man
ufactures otthe country. i Although he did not pro
fess to be indifferent to the first consideration; yet
perhaps . gentlemen opposite would feel more inter
est in it, and therefore he commended it to their
particular notice. It very considerable sum would
be thus taken frornthe treasury. The question of
the senator from . Michigan [Mr. Cass.) was very
--pertinent and propetL. He was at a loss to know
why this irthi should be regarded a "raw material,"
and as such a prOne4 subject or exeption from du
ty. If the argument lwas that it was right and prop
er in this way to Cheapen the means of transpor
tation;he would ask: here were they to stop? Why
stop at this orthat y4ar?
- I
Mr. Calhoun said that hehad been informed on
reliable authority that this hill would not injurious
ly effect the iron establishments of this country as
they were not in a condition to supply the demand
for railroad iron. .Dteither did he think that the
treasury would be injuriously ellreeted.
Mr. Cais said he Would-not vote for the bill, un
less he wes furnished with some estimate of, or
approximation to, the amount that would be taken
from the treasury. In the present circumstances
it appeared to him absolutely necessary that such
an estimate-al/Quid be made.
.fi t `.
r ; '~
.:~~ .. ..
-`Mr. Carneron remarked that the senator from
South Carolina [Mr. Calhoun] must have been mis
CORRESPONDENTS.
The Whigs aud the Tariff.
informed as to the capability of the iron establish
ments of the country.. - . They were qulte: 'able to
supply all, the 'demand. He (Mr. C.) was some,
what astonished to findteetlemen ready to support'',
this bill, telt-4A woutittake4erhaps a milliony dol
lars out'of the the treasury', and thought that it was
somewhat inconsistent to advocate this measure, and,
at the same time contend for protection to domestic
manufactures.. He hoped. the measure would be
postponed.
Mr. Calhoun observed, in replyto the remark
of, the last speaker. that if he were at liberty to
give his authority for the statement which the sen
ator from .Pennsylvania appeared to doubt, he
would be convinced that his means of information
were extensive and accurate, and that his opinion
was not likely to be erroneous. '
Mr. Atherton rose. and asked the senator from .
Maine [Mr. Evans] why the 2Uth of August, 1843,
had been named in the bill?
Mr. Evans replied that . that was a mistake in the
engrossment. It sould be 154.2, and was intended
to meet the tariff law of that year.
Mr_ Atherton then sent on to remark that there
was no limitation- as to the quality of rail. The
bill of last session contained a proviso with regard
to the weight of the rail for the exemption of !
which the bill was framed. It has been regarded
as a matter of much importance that the heavy T
rail should be'laid down ;by companies. • In the
present bill there was no such, limitation or re
striction. He would alSo obser% e that this bill re
mitted the duties on rails imported for the purpose
of replacing others. There was no provision re
stricting companies from obtaining a remission of
duties. on rails imported for the purpose of re-pla
cing rails which they had taken up. It did not
apply strictly and solely to the rails originially
laid. This bill appeared to be freed from all re
strictions whatsoever. He did not wish to detain
the Senate by any extended remarks, and wopld
only refer, in the most cursory manner, to one or
two observations urged by the Senator from Maine
[Mr. Evans) in favor of the bill. It was contend
ed that the railroad companies ought to be placed
on an equal footing with the act of 18-1.2. Since
that time, however, the price of iron had been ve
ry much reduced. With the duty it now cost no
more than formerly without it. The argument in
favor of the bill that the railroads benefitted the
farmer by affording means of transportation for
.his products, might be with equal justice urged
in favor of remitting the duty on iron employed in
the construction of steamboats. Why, then, not
exempt that also! That showed that this was a
piece of partial legislation for the exclusive bene
fit bf railroad corporatiens.
Mr Evans replied. .He would not detain the
Senate more than a moment. The gentleman op
posite, [Mr. Atherton,) desired to know why the
provision regarding the weight of the rails had not
been retained. The senator was mistaken in sup
posing that it was prospective—looking to the fu
ture and not to the past. They did intend by the
bill to remit the duty on the lighter rails, because
they had been brought in. The imports free here
after were to be confined to the heavier kind of
rail. In regard to the reference to the iron employ
ed in the construction of steamboats, the answer
would be obvious. Railroads could not be moved
from Maine to New Orleans. Steamboats could
seek profitable employment wherever it otlined.—
lie would ask, in conclusion, that by unanimous
consent, the error in engrossing should be cor
rected.
The error was accordingly, by unanimous con
sent, rectified; and then the bill was put on its
passage.
Mr. Bagby said that his objection to the bill was
that it would take, as he understood, upwards of a
million of dollars from the treasury for the benefit of
certain railroad companies, while every other citi•
zen of the country had to pay duties on all the im
ported iron - he consumed, even for the most neces
sary purposes. The proposition was too monstrous
to he entertained far a moment.
Mr. Atherton asked for the yens and nays. and
being seconded and ordered, they were taken, with
the following result:
YEAS—Messrs. Archer, Barrow, Berrien, Cal.
harm, Chalmers, John M. Clayton, Thomas Clay
ton, Colquitt, Corwin, Crittenden, D a vi s , Ev a ns,

The following statement was prepared for pub
lication in the Post, by a gentleman who is every
way capable of imparting correct information on
the question referred to. lhe writer for many
years held a %cry important Custom House office .
in one of our largest commercial cities, and more
recently as agent for a Railroad company, super
intended the importation of a large quantity of iron.
The testimony of such a man is better deserving
the consideration of the people than the "rant and
fustian" with which the w big papers are filled, for
the purpose of creating "panic," and improving the
prospects of the Whig party.
Mn. EDITOW—Late advices by the steamer
Great Western, quOte £lO 13s. as the price of
rolled iron. At this price, rtithuld adding costs and
charges, commissions and docks, and other dues,
and assuming the cost of transportation to be but
$2,50 per ton, the costs of importing iron would
First cost, £lO 155., $l7 77
Difference of exchange, 5 per et., :1 82

Freight, • 2 50
• Panic makers assume $2,50 per ton to be the
cost of freight, and for that reason it is used in the
above calculation, but the t%riter, in 1b33, 30 and
'37, paid freight upon 3,200 tuns railroad iron, im
ported by a company to which he then belonged.
the cost of freight for which, in almost every in
stance, was 30 shillings, or $6,06 per ton.
(f-IN'e were mistaken, in Tuesday's paper, in
saying that the Trustees of the Methodist Church,
on Smithfield street, refused to grant GREEN, the
reformed gambler, permission to lecture in the
church. It appears that Mr. Green did not consult
the /ego/ authorities, the only persons having con
trol over the 'church The kgal authorities being
the "Trustees," of course are not to blame, for a
matter which they were not consulted about. We
feel it due to the Trustees to make this statement.

PIGEON ExrntssEs.—There are several lines
of pigeon expresses between Paris and London, em
ploying birds of the Antwerp breed, strong in the
wing and fully feathered, who cross the channel in
about four hours. The communications are writ
ten in hieroglyphics, that the servants may not see

for news posses'led by a supposed rival, which he
afterwards found was brought by one of his own
birds.
(0-A Vermont editor advises the young ladies
in those digginsdo abandon the "good old way"of
doing up matters in the courting line, and recom
mends this summary method: "When you have
got a man to the sticking point—that is, when he
proposes—don't turn away your head, or effect a
blush, or refer him to Pa, or ask him for more
time—all these tricks are understood now—but
just look him right in the face, git e him a hearty
smack, and tell hint to go without delay and order
the furniture.
WoxnERFCL Discovsar.—A Greek Physiolo

and has seen the nerves in motion. This is the
most extraordinary discovery of the age, and prom
ises. if true, to lead to the most astounding results.
He has given it the name of uAnthroposcopc."
Wiro Is 110—One Mr. Young is spoken of as
the Whig candidate for Governor of New York.—
The New York Times knows nothing about, and
in order to be enlightened on the subject propounds
the following questions. They are pertinent:—
Where was be born? what is he remarkable for?
how old is he? does he belong to the upper ten
thousand? has he ever had a grandfather? These
question must be answered. We cant vote in the

TOE POISONED CIILESE.—The Albany ..'lltierican
Cithrn states that Prof. Einmons has analyzed the

Persons in Washington street last week, and boom!

The deleterious effects experienced from eating the
cheese arose from a peculiar state of decomposition
which is sometimes incident to cheese.

Chili and Pere.--Our advice 4 from these na
tions are a few days 'later. The recent insurrec
tion at Santigo, (Chili) had beep! entirely quelled,
and martial law abolished. Ott 'the 22d of April
a dreadfhl accident occurred at the fort of Santigo.
which resulted in the death of 41ve persons, and
the maiming of as many more. It was occasioned
by the premature discharge and explOsion of a
large cannon. We translate the hollowing partic
ulars: •
It is well known to the inhabitants of Santigo,
that at the tort in this city there is a large cannon,
which has been for a long time regularly dischar
ged exactly at noon by the sun. IThis is occasion
ed by means of a train of powder and a sun-glass
placed in a vertical position. As soon as the sun
reached the meridian a focus was formed by the
glass, which: at once ignited the powder..
The usual time of laying the train and loading
the cannon had been at half-past; eleven. Pester
day, (the 'Hid) while the soldiers were loading
the gun as customary, one of the men attempted
to manage the glass before the•eharge had been
completely ramed home. The train had been laid
to within aninch of the hand of!the man at the
vent, when the glass was by some: accident brought
to a focus, The powder at once ignited, and so
startled the man, that he raised • his thumb from
the vent, causing a horribleexPlbsion of the piece,
The two rammers were instantly killed, together
with three others standing near the bleech of the
gen when it burst. Five were dreadfully wounded,
though it is hoped not mortally. Several others
were slightly wounde I. The injured were imme
diately conveyed to the hospital. An investiga
tion of the accident had taken place. in which- it
appeared that the man who arranged the glass was
solely to blame. He did not understand its man
agement. He lies in a very precarious state, and
if he recovers, will be sentenced to states prison.
In Peru the most important topic of the day
was the formation of a company for the purpose
of digging out the river Rinac, a small stream run
' ning between Callao and Lima, in order to make
it navigable. Lima, it must be understood, is the
capital of Peru, and consequently the head quar
ters for every thing. Callao is its seaport. The
distance between the two places is nine miles.—
Such an operation, carried well into effect, Would
be of immense advantage to Lima.
24eic Zenbrad.—We hove notices of an attack
mule by the English on the Chiefs Ileki and Kaw
ite, in whith the ratter and their bands were total
ly defeated. The English forces consisted of in
fantry, soldiers, and sailors from the vessels of war,
the Costor, Calliope, Race 'terse and North Star.
The English loss was 1:2 killed and 'did wounded.
The loss of the Indians was much larger.

We findi the following credited to the Trinidad
, Vesterday there was witnessed in the yard at
Goternn House a scene disgraceful to a flee
country—]a scene bearing a striking resemblance
to what if witnessed in a professed slaw market.
The Indian Immigrants, by the Lord William Ben
thick, from MadraS, and the Cadet, from
amounting to four hundred and filty-three, were
disttibuted gratis to the favorite applicants by the
Immigrant. Agent General, in pure Baltimore arid
buban style. In appropriating to the planters the
respective] numbers applied for, no regard whatev
er was paid to the ties of family friendship. Wives
were separated from their husbands, cud children
from their parents. While being thus meted out
as mules, if a husband rushed. towards his wife, or
vice vers,S, or a mother to the lot containing her
sons, the poor affeetionate creatures were rudely
pushed li.tck in the most brutal and unfeeling man
ner by that amalganiation of inhumanity and self
conceit, the Immigration Agent General. Shall
such things be tolerated in Trinidad in ls
This is the British emancifialtion ! And these
are the men who have exhausted the vocabulary
of BillingSgate upon this country, because the fed
eral government has not destroyed the State sove
reignty and Southern' slavery at once.' What ar
rant hypocracy and humbug pass current now a
' days under the plan of philanthropy—British phi

fully corroborate what every battlefield in this Re

thin gross:libel on their character.

To enhance their value, being coated with sugar,
they have no test whatever of medicine, so that :'a

and then agaip they

A NEW SPELLING BOOK,—McGuffers newly
11_ revised Eclectic Spelling - Book,'showing the
exact sound et each syllable, according to the most
approved principles of English erthoepy. Improv
ed stereotyped edition of 1848. Price 10 cents,
retail. Teachers and Directors of Schools are re
spectfully requested to read the following.:
To TEACIIETIS.—In remodeling this work it has
been attempted, first, to introduce among others as
many primitive words as the space would allow,
and then, in subsequent lessons, to illustrate by
examples and rules the formation of the more im
portant derivatives. 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 deemed unneeessary. 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.
In spelling and pronouncing, the authority of Dr.
Webster has been chiefly followed, al though in some
as in the _third sounds of c, o and and in
a fo,v individual words, that of Worcester has been
considered More in accordance with common usage.
The last edition of Webstee.s large work, publish
ed in 184.1 with his own corrections, and Which he
gave to the public as the last reccord Of his opin
ion. the octavo - abridgment of that work, con
taming in some instances Worcester's modification,
and the University edition of 1845,..published
Dr. .Webster's executors; have been in-the—stan
dard of referece in preparing; this work.- In all
these, many peculiarities of spelling and pronunci
ation, found in this author's "Dictionary for Pri
mary Shoots," and there stiggested as improve
ments, rather than recorded as Usage, have been
Withdrawn, as having failed to receite the appro
bation of the public. In some instances accord'
ing to the plan adopted in the works above refer
errto two methods of spelling or of prertouncing a.
word have been given, being considered Of nearly
lqual authority. Where common usage' is divided
upon any particular word, every teacher .shauld
have the privilege of choice, and if so disposed, of
selecting that which is' most simple in itself] 'or
most in accordance with arilogy, and in that *ay
most promotive of simplicity in. general 'construc
tion.
The classification of words according to the in
nunciation of the accented s pro= llable, lei"! befound a
material assistance to' the pupil and the teachei.
The 4 cohviction 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 in 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 ita 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 -
