We will insert none without the name of the author being first made known to us, land when inserted, must alWays he 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 Tariff' Question. We have again, and again, defined our position on the Tariff 'question, still are we most grossly abused and misrepresented by the Whig papers of this city. We opposed the passage of the new Tar_ Iff act, for reasons heretofore assigned, and which it is not now necessary io repeat. The bill, how ever, passed both branches of Congress, received the signature of the PreSident of the United States and is now - the law of 'the land. We now are prepared - to say, that at the proper time, we will render all the aid in ourl power to induce Con gress to make every Modification necessary for Pennsylvaniai but, we can give no countenance to the base efforts of whiggery to create an urine. canary panic, which most inevitably greatly in jure the business men of the country; and we will, moreover, give to our readers every well authenti cated fact within Our reaCh, calculated to allay ex citement and continue the existing prosperity of the country: `'in short, we, will fearlessly continue to do our whole duty is the great cause of De. tnocracy. Amount of Protection afforded by the new Bill. We cannot, of course, vouch for the accuracy Of all the facts given below, which we find in a letter of the New York corrcsrndeut of the Washing ton Union, they are ce tainly . very interesting. •=and at this time, we doubt not, wilt be carefully examined by every unprejudiced reader who is anxious to form - a correci judgment in regard to the Tariff question, about which so much has been recently said and written The writer says: "In changing from sperfic to ad valorem duties, it subjects many articleslto charges levied in the Way'of inland transportation from the place of manufacture to the port 4shipment exempt before. For instance, iron now pays so much per pound specific duty. It is weighed on its arrival in the the United, and the duties assessed accordingly; whereas, under the imposition of 30 per cent ad valorem duties; to the invoice must be added the infand transportation of freight, and 21 per rent. commission before the duly lir imposed. The 16th section of the act of 1842, which will remain iu force under the new law, declares that in all cases "the cost and charges" shall be added to the invoice, and the duty assessed on the a mount. Looking at the s'ords "cost and charges" 'in a literal, and in what I believe to be the commer cial sense, I supposed freight to the United States was embraced as one of the charges. But, accord _ in to ancient treasury circulars, and the practice of revenue officers, "cost and charges" are intend ed to cover the "cost and Charges" frotri the place or point of manufacture to the place of shipment, including ai per cent. commission in England for delivering.and clearing oh ship board. The law Would have been more explicit had it said: that to the appraisement or invoice shall be added "all costs and charges, except insurance," from the place of manufacture tolthe point of shipment, with 23 , per cent. for commissions. In considering the amount of incidental protec tion afforded by the newt revenue bill, the inland freight or transportation of goods to the shipping point with 2} per cent, additional cost in the way of commissions, must be jadded as a basis of taxa tion. This fact few people are aware of. The in land freight greatly varies on different articles and in different countries. It is not generally known, either, that when sugars are imported, the boxes and hogsheads are larged for and added to the bill of costs on the sum of which the duties are as sessed. When a certain percentage of duty is named, many people talk of it as though no in- Crease in its amount ensued from the method of collection; that 20, 25, 30, or 40 per cent. &c.,was really nothing more thari what the figures repre sent, When in reality the 'case in practice is wide ly different. I have derived the following facts from an offi cial source, and they may be therefore relied upon for their accuracy.

Thus, froni:the-State:Atiarries at Minden, near Bremen, the transit charges from the quarries to ZRZ M M • the latter plat- on slates,"&e.; amounts to..from; 50 to 75 peA cent on their valtie,:abd to which ittulded, at the customAiouse here, to the appraisement as a basis of duties.

Watches made at Lode Switzerland; and carried to Havre for ex , port. assessed with from toy of 1 per cent . for transit charges, which is added with 3 per cent commissions to the prime cost, before the duty is assessed. Sugar from the Westinditt island ports, under he new tariff, will have to pay a duty on $B, the the cost of the hhd, besides 23 per cent commis sions.. Xuscovadoes in boxes have to pay a duty on the Loxes, - valued at from $1,73 to $2 per box; besides the commissions. And it is not certain but under3a strict interpretation of the law—as the su gars in the islands are manufactured on plantations at somedistmice from the sesports--but they might be charged with, freight from the interior to said ports. The Leeds and Manchester cases, of goods differ very much in value ; varying from 30 to £4OO. A case or ,bale of coarse goods, worn by the poorer classes, is subjected to just as high charges for transportation, Commissions, Arc., as though they contained fine goods, worth £4OO, or $2,000. All merchants concur in the statement, that to get goods from Europe into this market costs, on an average, about 13 per cent., including 21 per cent. commissions; difference in exchange, Atlan tic freight, cartage, storage, and insurance, to say nothing of inland charges, which are charged by government with the 2i per cent. commissions. In the first place, the duties are assessed on the in land freight, and shipping, commissions, &c., at the point of clearance, on which the 30 per cent. (it may be) is levied. The merchant pays for other charges, including freight and insurance. to the United States, to the amount of 12A per cent.,ornittin,g the 12A per cent. commissions charged by government. • As the iron men appear most alarmed, let us see what amount of protection thenew tariff gives.

Important to the Iron Intrrf. We invite the attention of our readerS\to the fol lowing interesting article from the "London Min ing Journal." It details as is very justly reznark. by the Pennsylvanian the present state of this irtk portant trade in Europe in a very strong and con vincing manner, sand shows that the demand fur rail-road iron in England, and other foreign eouri tries, is now so great, and will be for years to come, as not only to consume all that can be supplied, in those countries, but to leave little or none for other purposes. Their main reliance must, therefore, be, upon the forrign market And it would really appear, from the drift of this highly practical article, that this country, instead of be ing made the depot of British Iron, is destined to supply Great Britain herself! But we leave the ar ticle to the reader. From !he (E4glish) Mang Jeurnal. The Iron Trade. PII.OI4IILE ISVPPLY AND CONSCAIrTIOI, Sin—When I addressed you, at the close of the late session of Parliament. under the above title, I ventured to predict that the "impetus for railways having been given, nothing would check it until every town in the kingdom is accessible by rail way." I presumed that •not less than 2,000 miles of railway would be sanctioned by Parliament in the prebentxession, and (at least) 1,000 miles in the session of 1847." I calculated that, in the three years, (18.0, 18.17, and 18480 an extra demand for between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 tons of Iron would create by railway enterprise, that such a deficiency of labor, of material and of manufactu ring capability, would be experienced, as to make it impossible to meet the demand, and that "the difficulty of obtaining Iron at any price, would shortly present a novel feature in the commercial history of this country The course of events has more than confirmed those expectations; and has intefered with those calculationi, only to make the result more remark able, and more certain. 1 The impetus for railway making has surpassed all precedent. Old and young, male and female, peer and peasant, clergy and laity, merchant and clerk, shopkeeper and journeyman, all became enamored of this new investment. Political e conomists, legislators, and daily journalists, were alarmed leading articles," " City • articles," "bankers' circulars," speeches in the Lower House, and speeches in the Upper House, grave disser tations in bulky periodicals, and humorous illus trations in ephemeral productions, all conspired to impede the rapid movement. .Sessional orders of a novel description were• passed with extraor dinary haste, in order to extricate the multitude of scripholders from the meshes of )he net in which they were considered to have entangled them selves. And what has been the - effect of all these attempts to suppress the railwy "mania," and to relieve the "deluded! speculafbr? A few injudi cious schemes have been abandoned—a few depos its have been returned; but by far the greater HUM her of the railway projects are progressing, and will progress in spite of the loud outcry, flit grave warnings, and the fearful apprehensions. Instead of 2,000 miles of railway being sanctioned this session. there is every probability of 4,000 miles receiving the Royal assent; and instead of 3,000,000 tons of iron being required for railway purposos, between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 tons will be wanted. We stop to inquire—how will this singular movement affect the commercial interests of the country? Will it derange the whole of our mone tary system, as has been hastily asserted, and a thousand times repeated? Will it absorb all the spare capital of the country. or create confusion by leaving all ordinary undertakings too scantily sup plied? No such thing will happen. Railway en terprise differs from every other, and the distinc tion has been wonderfully overlooked. A railway is a stupendous piece of machinery, which, unlike all other machinery, cheapens cost, without either increasing production or diminishing human labor. Railways call for a large amount of capital, but by expediting the transit of goods, they so.reduce the 4tock of every tradesman, that they create a disposable capital, in many cases equal to that re quired for their construction. The mode of raising .railway capital, and the manner of expending it, serve also to neutralize the inconvenience which often attends the substraction of a large amount of.money from the ordinary channels. Being 'divided. into small shares, and payable by small instalments, a great portion of such capital is made up of inconsiderable sums which would otherwise have been unappropriated and unproductive. Nor is railway capital long idle it quickly returns into the hands of engineers, law yers, land-owners, iron -masters, timber-merchants, contractors and work-men—all of whom become possessed of extraordinary funds, a considerable portion of which reverts, either directly or indirect ly, into similar investments. Instead of requiring an increase of the'circula ting medium, which is the natural consequence of investments in trade or manufactures, railways, convey the gold and silver to the provinces, and back to the MetrOpolis, with such rapidity, that every new line lessens the required amount of the circulation, and accumulates the bullion in the.cof fers of the Bank of England. They create also a new grid a large paper currency in the shape of scrip, and share certificates—the value of which is ever fluctuating, but taken as.a whOle, is fully equivalent to the nominal aniount. Taking into consideration all these circumstan• MIME $145 48 $176.47 T duly incidentally impo, \l5 per cent.; which c, makes a difference , :er of about 75 per r The last and most formal avowal by the Courier c- Enquirer is that giving utterance to a furious diatribe against Pennsylvania, in the coarse of which various and very remarkable opinions are uttered in regard to the people of this State, for voting for Mr. Pot.tc, and especially for their course - upon the tariff. This article which appears in last Tuesday's Courier ¢ Enquirer, is in many res pects a curious one. It exhibits Whig love for,the masses, of the people. It shows that appreciation entertained of the people, and especially of the De, mocracy of Pennsylvania, by the present Whig party. It is the acceptable and long waited for cue to those numerous Whig papejs that are seeking for the Means of attacks and misrepresentations against the. Democratic party. 'Heretofore the leaders have been pronounced to be treacherous, but now it is the people who are ignorant and ski.. pid. Let the following extract from the article ,of the. Courier 4. Enquirer suffice it to show what is the open avowal of this leading Whig paper in re• gatd to Pennsylvania, and what f in all probability, ceti, the_positictu may ,ba tnaintaihetl, tfiat there:cannot be too large an outlay in railways provided the espeptliture is regulated:by economy and such lines only :are sanctioned as :will,. at Modirate rates, Yield tkproper.rettim forthe-capi tal employed, ;and not materially reduce the re turns ofprevionslfexisting lines. These desiderata will no doubt be sometimes wanting; yet . -it does not follow, that an ill-paying line to the share holders is a losing line to the publie- There may not be sufficient trafic to remunerate the proprie• tors, yet the saving to passengers and traders may be greater than the dividends on the best-paying lines.. It is therefore the interest- Of the public that as little delay as_possible shpuld occur in com pleting the prOjected railways. There is no feat: oftheir progressing too rapidly, but there is reason to apprehend that they cannot be executed with speed equal to;the public requirements. The great check which will be given to railway making both at home and abroad, is the necessary restriction to one material, and the impossibility of supplying the demand, which railways must create for that Material. It has been asserted ov er and over again, that such a vast number of miles of railway ought to be distributed over a period of seven or ten Tears. That such a distribution ought be made, is absolutely certain: The money may be found—LTHE IRON CANNOT BE SUP PLIED. At the close ofthe, present session, the railway coni panies incorporated by Art of Parliament will have virtually bespoken a quantity of Iron qua/ to the total make of England. Wales and Scolaiidfor the next POOR rgansicaviug xofra for ordinary uses at home the requirements for which are steadily in creasing. and will be further stimulated by tbelibe ral commercial policy recently adopted by our Government; and leaving NONE for the supply of foreign countries, whose wants already exceed their capabilities, and who will, ere long, follow the ex ample of Great Britain, and abolish those restric tions which have heretofore prevented them from purchasing in the best and cheapest market. Wants. THEN, Is THE IRON TO COMB Ffto3l? Our make of Iron is not on the increase. A few new furnaces have been built—a few more are in prognss; but moat of the old works have renchert their niarimmo, and several arc on the decline. Whatever, ingenious theorists may surmise respecting thefor-1 mation of iron ore, and the growth of coal, the practical ironmaster is every day reminded of the disappearance of those minerals. He knows, too, that as wages advance, his stock of minerals is apt to diminish; and that the quantity of iron manu factured does not depend so much upon the de mand, as. upon the readiness or reluctance of the miners to keep to their work, which is so labori ous, that they would rather do less and earn the same wages, than do the same work, and earn more. These circumstances will, for a long time operate to prevjent any addition to the quantity of Iron now manufactured; meanwhile, the excess of , the demand beyond the supply must create exor bitant prices. and many a railway will present the strange anomaly of being incomplete, because it cannot be provided with the article which gives it i both its name and its utility. It mny be asked.' why has the price of Iron receded, rather than ad vanced, during the last year? Because of the un certainty and gloom which have hung over our commerce, our government and our foreign rela tions. These clouds have all passed over; anti! with a free trade, a strong administration and peace with all the world. nothing can prevent the natu-, zl idency of an article to continue to rise in, 'lng as the manufacturer is unable to meet of the consumer.

It uto be found in the Ent:camps. 'or run PEOPLZ. They must all be taught to read,—be ?aught the English language, that they may read and judge for themselves, when questions of so much importance are to,•be deci dm! by them. The people of Massachusetts,-or of any New-England State, never could have been imposed upon by the shallow falsehood which mis led Pennsylvania. They would receive no. man's word as conclusive; and they would spurn with contempt the craves-hearted villain who should warn them not to - credit any thing that was told them by a politiCal opponent. They can turn to the record for themselves. They can read the public history of our public men. They know for themselves the character, the lives, the opin ions and the actions of those fur whom they are asked to vote.- Put the people of Pennsylvania upon the same footing, and we shall have some confidence in their decision. Give 't.hent the same means to inform themselves, and we shall not fear the' result. De ception may then do its worst: it can only stimulate inquiry, and that can only extort the truth. The first duty of every man in Pennsylvania who has a proper regard for her public character, who would wipe away the disgrace which now rests upon her, should be to send knowledge throughout her borders: to establish a system of education which shall reach every inhabitant of her soil: to teach every man within her limits who has a vote to cast, or any interest to be protected and cherished by the laws of the land, to real the language iu which those laws Are writteM—and thus to redeem her masses from the power of demagogues, and make them in fact, what in theory they are, free and enlightened citizens of the Commonwealth. It is worse than folly to talk of inherent and alienable rights, unless means are provided for their proper exercise. The power of suffrage is a curse, if the knowledge to guide it be wanting. Statesmanship is not a matter of instinct, nor do reading and writing come by nature,' as our political l)ogberrys suppose, lllnke the peo ple of Pennsylvania as in:elligent as those of New En gland:—give them the satne means of acting aright: --and we shall haeh no fear of their acting wrong' , At this moment, when the Whigs in this State are full of hope in regard to Pennsylvania—when they are laboring with the most Ilerculian exertions to beat the Dertiocrats—whim they are flattering and coaxing the people, the frank explicit opinion of the very first Whig press in the Union, comes like a proyidenc4 to dash the tempting cup aside, and to strip away the thin and contemptible dis- 1 guise in which they hide their designs. That the caluinny of the Courier 4. Enquirer is i an outrageous one, we need not declare to be our own opinion. The Pennsyhania Democracy are not ignorant enough to throw themselves into-the arms o4the W 141„ por are they debased enough to hang theinteriglirup ror 'note, co him Witt, highest for their rotes. They are frugal, industri ous, and intelligeht men, and have drawn their po litical knowledge, not from the gambling saloons or the haunts ofithe duelist—not from the exam ples'of the European aristocracy, or from profli gate arid disrepUtable associates. They may be -ignorant,"in the eyes of the Courier §' Enquirer, but they have beri intelligent enough to redeem this State frorn.the bankruptcy threatened by a Whig administration, to persevere in the establish ment of a gloritius system of public schools, and. aboie all, to avoid keeping company with a party that regards the people as debased and ignorant, and as unfit to think and act for themselves on all great questions. They will, we think, give a new proof of their intelligence on the 14th of October, by showing their indignation and contempt for the party, whore : chief organ pronounces them to be ro far lost to reason, to manliness and to truth.

I alio tried a good many remedies that had cured others; but in my'ease they failed. In April, 1845, I heard of the American Oil. I procured a bottle, and be- Lire I had used a half a bottle I was entirely well, and still oentinue so. I will not be without it in my house as long as Ica get the genuine article: also gave - it to rint - ormrarrn that had the tetter in his hands so bad that when be would grip anything tight in them the blood would burst out, and the use of half a Dottie cured us both. I would advise all that are afflicted in any way to give the Oil a fair trial, and 1 think they will be pleased with the effect it will have, &c.l CINCINNATI, October 10th, 184:1. This is tp certify that I have had a sore leg for six or seven years. It was sometimes so bad that I was not able to walk. I have employed several physi cians, andtried a great many remedies; some would relieve me for a while, but nothing that I have tried has done me so much good as 'the American Oil, which I applied externally and internally once a day. When I commenced using the Oil my leg was swell ed very much and was a very dark purple from my knee down below my ankle Joint and had lost pretty much all feeling, and the ankle joint was stiff so that I could not move it; before I bad used the Oil three weeks my ankle joint was loose and my flesh a natu ral color, and it is now entirely well. I have recom mended it to several of my friends since, and alms proved good in every case. I would advise all that are afflicted to give it a trial, for I have Used it for other complaints besides my leg, and it proved good. G. If. 8RA1.31311f, Walnut, between 13 and 14 ats.

My left eye was entirely closed upi and I could scarcely see any out of the other. It had been so for about two weeks, and getting worse dai , ly when Icommenced the use of the American Oil, and in a few days the swelling had nearly all &sap ;Mitred. My head is now well. I have used it also fur sore throat, cholic and cuts. lam fully satisfied with its healing virtues. I used it by taking it inter nally froMa half to a teaspoon full night and morn fng, and bathing the part affected two or three times a day. I do believe it a good medicine, and would the advise afflicted to give it a trial, as there is no danger in using it.
