M'Candless' position on the Tariff.
Col. M'Candiess in Ills Elizabeth speech, defined
his Position on the Tariff question fully, and in. a
manner which cannot be misunderstood. He is
for so modifying the Tariff of 1846, as to make
that bill satisfactory to Pennsylvania. He wish-!
es to see an increase of duty of from 10 to 15 per
cent upon her great coal. iron and glass inter
ests. He is also in favor of maLing such other al
terations in the bill as may be required by the
industry of the whole country. and which experience
shall demonstrate as necessary for the raising of
sufficient revenue.
He is, in short, what he ever has been, an advo
cate of just and fair protection.
The Panic--Oh the Pauli:
r -
The editor of the Journal has evidently discov
,
cud "the hand writing on the wall;'—be has dis
coveied too that the panic project Which was relied
upon -to *give political power to the whits,
is completely exploded. Agricultural products—
Flour, Corn; Rye, have increarcd in price in
N York and in this city, on yesterday flour was
selling from store at 'an advance of 25 cents per
barrel. But, this is not all; such is the demand in
Eur Ope--and such the price of iron and pig metal
that not a pound Cap, or will te:sltipped to the;
United States. What will the whips do now?- 1
ZPill the tontiime ; their efiortsi to deceive the'
people—will they dare tell the farmer that 'be is
mined, when in fact the products of his farm are
increasing in price? Will they dare tell the intel
ligent operative in iron, that his wages must
come down, on account of foreign competition,
vihen in fact the price l s of these artilcs are so high in
England that not a pound will bear ship
ment to the United States? What new "humbug"
'will the whigi"scare up" to alarm the people and
drive them into the support of the whip, party.—
Tne whigs, in truth. are again 'doomed to de
feat—overwhelming defeat.
cO.Pennsylvania may require that additional du
ties be levied for the protection of her interests, and
she must receive all ouch increase—if at all .
from the Democratic. party. Is Wilson McCandless
and other leading democrats to be "hung., drawn
and quartered," merely because they could not pre
vent (for such is the!whole charge,) the passage of
RlcKay's bill? Will such treatment tend to concili
ate or win over friends in Congress? No, it is by
electing democrats ito Congress alone, that our
interests can be protected, and of all democrats,
Col. McCandless is best able now to serve us.
More Bad News for Panic Makers.
The news by the Britannia has had a very favor
able influence on the produce market—the purcha
ses for shipmentin N York the day atter the arrival
of the Britislier, were very heavy, causing an ad
-vance in the price ofFlour, Wheat, Corn and Rye. i
This will be good news to the farmer, but is death I
to:the hopes Of the whig panic makers, who have
for the last two months been telling the people
• , -
that the country was ruined—that the products of
their firms would have to be soh: for a pittance—
that the laboring man would be without employ
ment, or compelled to work fur wages NV hich would
not procure bread for hisfarnily-7these lying pro
phets of eeil, we rejoice to say, cannot deceive the
people. The villainous panic project, the effect of
which must have been to rob labor of its just reward,
we are now sanguine in the belief, will soon be a
bandoned anddisowned even by those who concoc
ted the vile scheme.

attended .the Theatre, on Saturday evening. This
attempt on the pat of Fsr.r.sow, to create a false

Iron in England.—A document of much inter- ]
est was recently published in Paris. We alluded
the annual Report of the Engineers of miners
The Journal des Dibats, commented upon some of
its statements, says that the increase in the pro- ,
duction of iron in Europe is astonishing. Within)
the last ten years, it has doubled in almost every
country. Yet. notwithstanding this great increase,
we may suppose that it is trifling in comparison
with that which will take place within the ten
years from the present time. that is, when rail
roads, now in their infancy, become more general.
Iron is now employed to a much greater extent
than formerly. In buildings, monuments and
ships, iron is now employed in place of stone and
wood. In short, we are now in the “Iron age,"
and with pride we say it, instead of being solely
an instrument for the destruction of our fellow-mem
as in those excellent ages termed “Silver" and
"Gold," iron is, in our time, an agent of labor and
peace. The consumption of both in France, may be
estimated at 405,000 tons annually. In 1520 it 1
was 112.500, showing an increase since that
peri
od of 4to 1. England employs annually, either
in actual consumption or commerce, 1,300,0t;0
tons. However, we must not conclude from this
great inferiority in comparison with England, that
!our iron works are in a corresponding inferiority.!
England is not near so rich in forests as France. ;
and, consequently, we employ much more wood
than she can.—Frenrk paper.
With great propriety may it he said that even
the present consumption of iron, great as it is
proved to be, is trifling in comparison with the in
crease which a few years will exhibit. Raintads
will soon be substituted for the common roads on
all the great thoroughfares throughout the old;
world. The great call for railroads in England;
and throughout Europe, is not, as many suppose, a'
mere temporary mania, like our morns multicau-!
lis speculation of a few years bark:, but it is found-'
ed upon the eternal laws of the fitness of things.'
The substitution of steam for animal power, as a!
motive power, and of the iron rail for the turn
pike road, throughout the old world, with its dense I
population. will go on increasing from year to
year. until the three quarters of the globe shall be
banded together with iron, to and from every point
of the compass. The important principle involv
ed in this great change which has but just corn-,
thenced, is, that while animal power requires to be
fed front the produce of the soil or surface of the
earth, the iron horse, steam, is fed from its bowels,
leaving the product of its surface for - the suste
nance of man. The substitution of steam, for an•
imal power. we have little doubt, is yet to capaci
tate the earth for more than doubting its human
population.
But speaking of the multiplied uses and probable
increased consumption of iron, every month is ap
plying it to new and useful purposes. Not only
the horse, but the cars, are now beginning to Le
made of iron. Iron steamboats, not only for inland
w alers, but for the ocean, are called intorequicitioi I
Iron is now being used quite extetisit ely for fronts;
to houses and stores. It will be but a few years I
before many fauns will be fenced with iron. It is I
not merely in the sword, the cannon and the can
non ball in war, but it is to be far more than the
plough-share in peace. With such prospective
de
mand for iron as the rapidly and constantly inereas-I
ing consumption of the article in every country on
the globe calls for, is it to be supposed that it is to;
become the staple article of produce by only one
or two nations? By the cry of ruin and distress
which is being raised by a portion of the press in
consequence of the late modification of the Tariff,
one would be led to suppose that crowbars were
hereafter to grow from planting shingle nails, that
children were hereafter to come into the world al
ready clothed, with jackets, trowsers f boots and
spurs already on; iii short, that thereafter their %Vat ,
to be no further necessity of human labor, by which I
the poor are ground to the dust, held there, and
then taunted with their poverty ; as if it were a
crime, that all use of the terms "riches" and ',pov
erty were soon about to cease, from a spontaneous
production of all the necessaries and luxuries afire. I
We have only to Aar that the apprehensions of!
such friends of the'human family will not,in these
respects. be fully realized.
But badinage apart, there is an immediate con
sideratioo of no small moment to the business men
of our city. and of every city in the Union, and
through them to the people at large, which we ap
prehend has escaped the observation of the com
mercial papers. It will soon be apparent, if it is
not so already, that the constant expectation of
fall in prices, so sedulously maintained by a large
portion of the press, has an inevitabe tendency to
delay and embarrass the usual fall trade. 'I lie quart.
tity purchased will be materially reduced, if the
buyer is impressed with the idea that prices will
speedily come down: and at the same time our
merchants must he seriously embarrassed by the
pressure of the demand which will be created for
lower prices. Is' it not time, therefore, to think a
little more of thabusiness interests of our citizens
and the c.ountey, instead of pursuing a course that
cannot fail tolnejiidice them to great extent!
We could wish that the tax upon foreign. coal
and iron particularly, two of the great central in•
terests of the conntry, were higher; and we have
every reason to believe a modification of the du
ties thereon will take place at the opening of the
next Congress, but our desirein this- respect does
not cause us to ove - iloOk the evil tendencies upon
ourfall business which the majority of the press
is at present_ very injudiciously, a we think, ex
erting.—San.

The Effect of the

Wea•
Our reporter furnished us yesterday with the pro
ceedings.of the New York Carpet Weaver's Con
vention, with a summary of the debatei that took ,
place previous to the adoption of the ce-solutions,
but owing to the lateness of the hour at which we I
received them, we were unable to insert them.—
We uoty refer to the debate for the purpose of show
ing upon what weak grounds the overgrown mo
nopolists seek to justify their attempti to oppress
the opperatives in their wag es, and the means re-1
sorted to for the purpose of creating a panic.
The manufacturers have prrposed to; reduce thel
wages of their operatives from twenty-eight tol
twenty-five per cent., and adduce, as a treason, the
reduction of the tariff; which they sayi will allow
the,foreign manufacturer to undersell them, unless
they can manufacture their goods at a: lower rate,
than formerly. To prevent this reduction the jour
neymen carpet weavers assembled in Convention.
One of the delegates stated that he hail, previous
I to the assembling of the Conseution; taken the
I trouble to go from store to store to at.certain the
price of the materials, that ho might arri%e at the
cost price of a yard of superfine ingrain carpet.

of ,advariee of ten per cent. In the, spring follow.
ing, when a general move seas made by the weav
ers in the trade, they obtained the present prices.
Thus it will be seen that just previous to the
enactment of the tariff of 1543. u' reduction was
Made in the wages of the operatives of about six
teen per cent. And although that wonder-work
ing tariff was passed in August. ISt?, yet the op
eratives did not obtain an advance 'of their wages
until October, lfi•l3, more than c year after its
passage, and then only an advance of ten per cent,
which they literally wrung from the grasp of the
company. When a tour natter of the operatives wait
ed on the company, after the passage of that act, and
requested an advance of thei, wager! to enable them
to rapport their families, they were told that they
were mittakin if they thought the tariff aided these.
in the least. The cause of the lowprwes they said,
was the home competition; and now,!when a ofight re
duction has been made ice the tariff, they seek to reduce'
the wages of their operatives, en someinstanres twenty-1
eight per rent. It was shown by one of the delegates
that the new tariff would only reduce the price of
carpets one cent per yard, and yet this unimport
ant reduction is greedily seized upon by the rich
monopolists as a pretext for g.rinding the faces ofj
the poor operatives. This attempt appears to be
the more heartless from the fact that at the rate of
wages now paid to carpet weavers they eahnot!
earn on au average over one dollar per day.
We do not believe that the Manufacturers can
succeed in convincing the people that the new tar
iff creates a necessity for the reduction of-the
wages of the operatives. We know that it must be
bitter to them to be competed to 'divide a dividend
of only thirty car forty per cent They will, be-,
yond doubt, endeavor to wrest the additional
amount from the wages of the pOor men in their',
employ, but they must be earefUl lest the poison-1
ed cup should Le returned to their own lips. It
was suggested by one of the delegates to the Con
vention, that if this course was Ito be pursued to-. 1
wards them, it would be better for them to petition
Congress to take offthe 30 per cent, protection, and'
operate on free trade principleslaltogether. The
manufacturers would do well to'heed this intima
tion before it is too late.

This was nearly twelve ntunths ago, and the
young gentleman has been with his savage tele
tive ever since. In this time, report says,his-civili
' zed clothes have worn out, and he has been equip
ped a 1' Indian, with all the embellishments of
paint, tatoo, &c. Nor will the tribe hear of his
coming away, Which, as may be imagined, he is
most anxious to cloi but he has been given to un
derstand that-if he should show so little gratitude
and good taste, a bullet will most assuredly put an
end to his Indian existence. The circumstance
has occasioned a good deal of amusement here.]
It is understood the . Hudson's Bay Company will
use their influence to' . redeem the unfortunate
night, one of whose great merits in the-byes of
the tribe consists in his having red hair', which
the Indian regards as a divine gift.
The Montreal Herald copies the above and adds:
We that the gentleman alit - e alluded
to, has recently returned to Montreal, en 'route to
England, and that he has resumed his original style
and costume. Ito does not appear to have been
tattooed, as is represented in the extract. We have
not heard if his Blackfoot squaw accompanied him
to England.—Brighton (Eng.)

left the shop in cluirge of his partner and a-little boy

absence, the partner remaining went to work and
painted the buy's neck so as to represent a large
gash, and a cut over the eye. He then took red

Sugar Coated Vegetable Purgative Pills. The'
most obstinate nervous headache, or headache a.
rising from foulness of the stomach, yield to their
operations in a few tours, and persons who use
them as a general opening medicine and purifier of
the blood will never be troubled with the headache
at all. The proprietor gives his warrant of this,
and will return the money paid for them if they
'do nut come up to his recommendations. Nearly
et ery regular physician in New York recommends
them for headaches to the exclusion of all other
I remedies, and upwards of thirty of them have
given the proprietor certiGeates to this effect.—
Clickner's Sugar Coated Vegetable Pills produce
neither gripe br nausea; and being coated with
sugar are as easily gwollowed as bits of candy.
