THE IRISH CHARACTER.
The recent occurrence of the anniversary
of Ireland's patron saint reminds na of a long
cherished, but hitherto forgotten design, to
make some few remarks upon the Irish ch
acter.
In this country as well as in England We
are strongly inclined to look upon an Ii ish
man in a ludicrous light, and whenever he is
spoken of or represented, he is thrown into an
attitude of gross overcharged caricature, from
which it would be as impossible to estimate
his true character, us it would to judge cl a
man's size from his shadow. Among writers
the Irishman is invariably introduced in the
character of a grotesque blunderer, speaking
in ' , bulb," and acting with headlong folly or
cool effrontety. As represented upon the
stage, opecialy, he is a miracle of •coarse
nese, vulgarity, profanity and nonsense.—
Such Irishmen as Barney Williams and Billy
Florence are aemstomed to represent, never
had any existence, save in the imaginations of
men utterly ignorant of the Irish people and
their character and feelings. In the drama,
the Wellman is invariably made the clown of
the performance. He is drawn as an object
of ridicule, and consequently of contempt, for
what you laugh at you soon come to despise.—
This feeling in a measure passes from the stage
and from books, whore the Irishman is made
to figure to the public generally, and the
thoughtless ar" too apt to look upon the Irish
chvracter as a compound of absurdity and
canning, st conglomeration of knave, fool, igs
nuance and whisky.
This is not the true Irish character—far
from it. The Irishman even with little edu
cation, is naturally generous, open hearted,
friendly and polite. In domestic life he is in
variably affectionate and kind. Nationally he
has a warm heart, and an active love of his
country. He is brave, generous and hospita
ble,—magnanimous both in adversity and
prosperity. The tendencies of the Irish dis ,
position are to refinement,—the refinement
which appreciates what is natural and good.
The roughest specimens, male and female who
emigrate from the Emerald Isle to this country,
adapt themselves with the utmost facility to
their new relations—social and political. They
learn quickly, and practice promptly, the
mauneis and customs of those who surround
them. They make good citizens under a re
publican government, in less time than the
people of any other nation. The English
emigrant is always an Englishman, the Ger
men retains the peculiarities of the Faderland
to the very last, but the Irishman almost at
once becomes an American in feeling and in
practice. Crushed and downtrodden as this
nation has been, the individual Irishman pos
sesses an elasticity of temperament which is
sure to elevate him. Who ever knew an Irish
man to refus e to reciprocate kindness, or for.
give an injuiry when the hand of friendihip is
held out to him. The educated Irishman is
always a gentleman, and those who have not
enjoyed the advantages of educational culture
are by nature courteous and polite without
subserviency.
In Western Pennsylvania, the Irish and
• their descendants form our best population.
They are honest, industrious, frugal, gene
roui, pious and eminently useful as a class.
Those who form their estimate of the. Irish
character from the travesties presented upon
- the stage, or the misrepresentations of intet
-i •
ested political newspaper writers, do to the
Sons Of St. Patrick, a huge injustice. We are
glad, however, to observe that the prejudices of
nationality and of religious intolerance, like
the snakes and toads which were expelled from
the Green Isle by its patron saint, are in this
country fast succumbing to good sound Amer
Jean common sense, and that the fine points
of the Irish character are daily becomieg
..hetter appreciated by those whose tenure of
nativity upon the generous soil of our country,
is perhaps a hundred years older than our
Irish American population can boast.

The Utnon is endeavoring to prove that it is
a fraud for the Pe ns,ylvania Railroad Com
parry to make the tonnage tax an element of
charge to the shippers of goods. It says that
the tax:" was instituted and accepted by those
companieS as a tax upon their revenue and
proportioned accordingly." The tact is the
tax was instituted before the road was in re ,
ceipt of any revenue, and it was impossible
to apportion it accordingly. The tax is not
a per tentage upon the revenue of the reed—
it is a direct addition of so much per ton upon
all the freight which the road carries, and is
necessarily made an element in fixing upon a
tariff of freights. It is an item of cost to the
company, as much so as coal and machinery.
It has to be paid by the company, and where
they are to get it, except by charging it as an
additional cost upon transportation, and mak%
mg the shippers pay it, we are unable to per
ceive. Take it off, and the company will be
enabled to reduce the cost of freight by that
amount, and thus by cheaper rates induce the
trade to take the Pennsylvania Route. Leave
it on, and they cannot be expected to make
this reduction. It is sophistry to say as the
Umou does, "let the railroads pay ,as they agreed
to." They do pay it, and so they do pay the
expenses of running the road,but they get their
money frOm their basiness, and thus those
who use the road are the ones who in fact do
all the paying. For the sake of showing
the facts, the Railroad company in their bills
of lading, have chosen in a separate item, to
show the shipper how much the tonnage tan
t compels them to increase the cost of freight
over their route. If they choose to divide
• their charges into items of " cost of tranapor
tatiou," profit," and " tonnage tax," we
can see no harm in the shipper having this
information, if the company choose to give it
to him. Bn to ask the company to pay the
tonnage tax, and not take it into consideration
in fixing their freight tariff, is simple non
sense. The Monongahela Navigation Com
pany charge tolls upon their improvements,
and does the Union suppose that because the
money is paid by the boats, that it is not
added to the cost of transportation upon this
excellent highway of commerce ' We think
not.
MARCH 19, 1858
'TONNA ka TAX.
• The Union has by no means met the argu
ment "that the tonnage tax is a mischievous
restriction upon the transit trade, which must
weigh injuriously upon the industry of the
state," and the charge of " gross fraud and
palpable violation of contract upon the part
of the railroads" is a sserted, which is easy,
but not proven, which is difficult to do.
Fr is a pity she did not find him out a little sooner,
for Ponnylvania was all we lacked in 1858 to have
given the country a good Republican Administration ;
but " better late than never."
So 5.43 the New York Evening Post: but it is
wrong, both in its arithmetic and in its predictions.
If Penualvania had gone for Fremonc. in 1856,
he,nevertheless, would not have been eleetel.
He obtained one hundred and fourteen electoral
votes to which the twenty-seven from Pennsylvn
vania would have given him but can hundred
and forty oeven, and Mr. Fillmore eight. The
election would have gone to the House, whe , m
the . Fremont men had but thirteen States, and
could not have elected their candidate. The elec
tion of a Democratic Governor in 1-etmiilvania,
year by about forty thousand u ki j or it.y ewer
the ltepubl.can candidate shows that Mr. Bu

LETTER FROM. ROBT. TYLER, EtiO,
The fAlowing letter, addressed by Robt.
Tyler, Esq. to one of the democratic mass
meetings, recently held in New York City, is
published in the New York Mica :
PHILADELPHIA, FED. 28, 1858
GENTLEMEN : It affords me great pleasure to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter inviting
me to participate in the proceedings of the mass
meeting of the democracy, to be convened at
Mozart Hall, in the city of New York, on the
evening of the 21 of March next, the object of
which is " to endorse the governmental policy
promulgated in the Kansas Lecompton message
of President Buchanan." In the event of not
being personally present, my written views
"in' favor of the peaceful policy and action of
the President, are respectfully solicited."
The Kansas question has been worn threA
bare by the varied disetnition through which it
has already passed, and I do not propose to enter
.it largo on that topic. I simply beg permission
t o say, in a few words, that I entirely accord with
President Bucintian in his views of Kansas of
fairs, both on the ground of expediency and
law; and further, that I personally know him
to be a-pure and a brave man, a noble patriot,
and a most enlightened statesman, fully deserv
ing the confidence of the country. He not on
ly deserves the confidence of the country, but
in-spite of the clamor of excited politfoians,there
is no doubt he possesses it. It is true that in
steadily maintaining the supremacy of the gov
einment and the majesty of the laws of the Uni
ted States two leading iNt3BllOB, full of embarrass
ment, one attended with great popular irrita
tion in the northern, and the other with a simi
ir irritation in the southern mind, have con
spired to place him in a difficult and trying po
slam before the country at the very outset of
ate administration. But he has met them with
on unfaltering devotion to the principles of the
constitution and the requirements ,of the public
welfare, and in my judgment, no statesman
has ever exhibited a greater degree of firmness
without presumption, of courage without undue
excitement, and a spirit at one and the same
time more resolute and composed.
I am happy to observe that the clouds are fAst
disappearing from the political sky. With the
settlement of the Kansas question, soon to be clos
ed I trust the tranquility of the nation will be in a
great measure, if not entirely, restored. The
adniinistration will' yo doubt then embrace the
opportunity of directing its undivided attention to
other important subjects, both of foreign and
.Jomestio concern, calculated to advance tie pros
perity and honor of a once more peaceful and
united country.
With great respect, your friend and eel .ant
ROBERT TYLER.

PROCEEDINGS.
THIRTY-RIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
SENATE.
The Chair presented a communication from the
Secretary of War, stating that Rock Island was. no
longer required for military purposes, and urging the
propriety of taking steps for the sale of the property
belonging to the Uovernment.
Mr. twin, of California, presented a resolution of
inquiry as to what steps had been Liken to punish
the perpetrators of the massacre of one hundred and
eighteen emigrants in Utah.
Mr. Toombs then proceeded to address the Senate
on toe Ka1:022.8 bill. He said : The anti-slavery shit).
boleth that there shall be no more slave States, was
the pressing question of the Senate, and the defeat of
the bill would be a triumph of those principles. It
became the Senate. theretore, to look at the princi
ples which underlay the question. He then exam
fined two clauses of the Constitution having reference
to the admission of new .States. Mr. Hamilton, he
said, foresaw tho acquisition of Loubilana and a large
portion of Mexico. The former is history, and- the
latter is soon to become so. Texas is already admit
ted; but the great restriction is imposed upon this
right of admission, that governments must be repub
lican in forn ; the only duty of Congress is to see
that the Constitutions, are republican; but, growing
out of this, is another duty, namely, that new States
be admitted on an equality with oth.rs. Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana were admitted
without question ; Missouri was the first case in which
power was claimed to look into the State Constitu
tion; not because it was anti-republican, but because
it tolerated slavery. Since that period the Northern
Abolitionists have opposed the admission of every
new slave State; then they sowed in the wind ; if
the whirlwind be reaped, they alone are responsible.
Mr. Toombs then proceeded to argue the right of
Kansas to be admitted under the Leeeuipton C. nstb
tution, contending that her claim was three-fold, and
supporting his position by various'illustrations. He
also gave a record of his own bill, explaining its
principles, following various pointi of Mr. Critten
den's speech. He argued the legality of the. Le
compton Constitution, and also the duty of Con.
gress to pass it. • How could his friend Crittenden, he
asked, stand on the extraordinary proposition that
Lecompton is fraudulent, simply because frauds oc
curred in the elections, which have no reference to
the Convention which framed it. Referring to
Walker's and Stanton's statements, that the Consti
tution is not the will of the people, he said he knew
nothing in the character of those men that elevates
beyond the credibility of ordinary witnesses, and be
thought them indebted to his courtesy in not goir g
further. Then turning to Mr. Crittenden's remarks
in reference to Mr. Clay and the Missouri Compro
mise, he reminded the Senators that but seven years
ago, the great Kentuckian stood in that chamber die
claiming the authorship of that measure. Mr.
Toombs concluded with an eloquent passage in de.
fence of the Dernocratio party and against the fanati
cism of the florth.
Mr. Crittenden explained his allusion to Mr. Clay,
and briefly referred to minor points touching the
legality of the loot:Topton Constitution. He wished,
he said, to see the South always right, and would
have been gratified could she see the question as he
sees it. The question of slavery, he repeated, was
not the real issue. It was thrwan in to exasperate
contention. No one believed that Kansas can be a
slave State. That question has been determined
partly by cliniate, but mainly by the will of the
people. Why should we be in haste to admit her?
Whatever constitution is imposed on her would
soon be changed. Why does the South want two
more Senators such as Kansas would immediately
send here As for himself, he had done his duty ;
he thought that ho was old enonah not to take the
part of a partisan, but of a patrioti'a true son ofthe
South; ho was also a true citizen of the United
States. May peace and prosperity rest within our
gates.
Mr. Bell said tpe Scooter fro- Rteorgia had pro
mulgated doetilnee ono can paea via:iota
notice. lie says 0:lit be bits weighed the valtie of
the Union, apt/ thighstbat tpe t;as loved it
too well ; that is the issue; the Senator openly states
that it is• the issue for victory. There is time
enough, said Mr. Bell, to estimate the value of the
Unign, When the powerful North takes a de.
liberate Step; when, for instance, Ae refqses to
ecJ
mit a territory in which slavery already exists, unless
it should just liberate slaves. He must see such
issue actually made before be considered it, but ho
believed that it would never °owe if the South wore
prudent. He, Mr. Bell, like the Senator from Ken
tucky, would not take a sectional view of the ques
tion. Ho then proceeded at some length with facts
connected with the foundation of the territorial
government of Kansas to show misapprehension of
' statistics; thence turning to the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, ha said it was 4 Otlnggie fo; ViMrY eftrried on
wits a spirit unequaled in fervor excepting the revo•
lotion in 1?„-t;ance.
HOUSE OF REntsENTATIvEs
Mr. Savage argued in favor 44, volunteers, and
against the recommendation - Of .the Secretary of War
for a permanent Increase of the army. He contended
that if the idea became - prevalent that we-must do
pend for defense on a standing army, the universal
self reliance for protection actuating the people,
would be s'rioken down.
Mr. Washbgne, of Illinois, referred to the at.
tempted revel ion'of thh Mormons in that State ;
they defied the whole power of the State and it was
then supposed, as now, that a large military force
would be necessary to operate against them, but a
few noble citizens drove them off.
Mr. Smith, of Illinois, said that if the matter was
open to contract, he would guarantee that his State
would undertake to subdue the Mormons, and com
pet-them io oilisy.the laws of the country.
Mr. Blair, in exposing the true character of the
Mormons, contended tttpt sags-the duty of tho.gov
ernment to subdue Utah, in order to enable the
zens to pass to the Pacific, the route to which is now
blockaded by the Mormons.
Mr: Quitman contended that the Utah expedition
was dyfowive, ppt Wrossive. However odious the
institutions of the government of 17tala, there was
no intention of interfering with them. If the Mor
mons would obey - the law, no blood would be shed.
Mr. Quitman said that an additional force was nee.ied
for the protection of Texas and the western frontier.
He spoke of the peculiar fitness of volunteers; and
said that while he commanded in Mexico he was
nover willfully disobeyed.
The House atiouraed.

I met with a farmer in Armstrong county who was

believing it would Ogre him. Meeting him sortie
months after, what was my abtonlilment at finding
him a hale, hearty man; he 'told me he'now weighed
200 pounds, and that this wonderful change had been

attributed solely hie restoration."
