To the Editor of the Norning Post: An edito rial in your paper of this morning, headed "The Tonnage Tat and the Pittsburgh Board of Trade," charges that the institution known as the Pittsburgh Board of Trade have certainly taken a strange position on the question of this impost on the trade of Pennsylvania, and is taking still more strange measures to influence the action of the Legislature upon the question In your haste to further the bad policy of the Pennsylvani"a Railroad Company towards the cit izens of Pennsylvania, you denounce the Board of Trade as the author of a prbceeding which it, entirely disapproves. It was the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and not the Board of Trade. which procured the proposed informal session of the Senate for the hearing of these " borers," as you call them, before thp members of thatbody. These borers even went so far as to demand to be heard, without giving notice to the citizens of Pittsburgh or any other parties of the adverse interest The informal sest•ion is, as you truly term it, a "strange proceeding,' and the authors of it deserve Censure; but wbat measure of condem- nation will you apply to those who sought to de grade the stated deliberations of the Senate by making it the forum for the purchased pleadings of a great corporation asking to enlarge it 4 ready enormous privileges. The Pittsburgh Board of Trade took the FaTILA view as you appear dispo3'ed to do, and had do t.rinined, instead of being represented by com mittee acd counsel, as advised by our Senator, at this informal session, simply to protest ".agaiust this strange proceeding in legislation." This :also appears to have been' the view taken by our City Councils, whO, unlike the city of Philadel phia and the railroad company, refuse to pay "borers," simply asking our representatives to us© their influence and their votes against the repeal—and this was done without a dissenting voice. I regret that your prejudices should have led you wrong in this matter; and pardon me for saying that it would be a better occupation for yourself and other advocates of the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to endeavor to 'answer or refute the arguments of the Report of the Board of Trade, which hitherto has not been done. Respectfully, WM. 11 WILLIAMS, President. Board of r sratle. PITTSBURGII, March :10, 1858. —We are_ willing to suppose thatour cor reSpondent \ did not wilfullpirelfspprehend our editorial remarks, and give him an.opportu- nity to have his say with the simple remark that we did not " dononnce the Board o Trade as the author of a I,lceedifig which it - entirely disapproves," toffy ; the proposed informal meeting of the lgisiatnre. We did not attribute this meas re to the Board of Trade, and our remarks will not bear tint construction. We objected to their appeal to Councils to send an '-`eloquent champion," and " abler advocatgs,o et the public cost. 4 The Councils sustained ur views and refused to expend the public m ey,. or even to Bend a committee to the proposed unusual legislative meeting. The discussion in the Select Ccuncil also convinced us that the popular represen tatives of the city were perfectly aware that there - are two sides to this question. All the arguments apinst the repo{ of the Tonnage Tax, which we deem a special tox—undemo cratic and injurious Is, the general interest , f the Commonwealth, appear to be founde upon a supposed iinnett , scary discrimination in freights by the Railroad company against freights'to this city. The Tonnage Tax is not' claimed to be right per se and those who op pose its repeal now would advocate the re peal if it were not for this discrimination. A member of the . Select Connell said in place that if it were not for these dissiiminations, he would advocate the repeal of the Tonnage Tax. This is an admission that the tax of it. self is wrong. But another wrong, it is al leged; exists in this dlscritninat . on, arni the op ponents of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax here have placed th mselves in the position of wish.. Mg to make conditions before ceasing to ops pose the repeal of an impost which no argil.. pent can convince us is right. We are not as our correspondent insinuates, the advocate of the policy of any Railroad company. We look upon this matter of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax as a question of general public commer cial interest to the whole State of ['eulogy's vania. We say the Tonnage Tax is an unjust tax, an unequal tax, an injurious tax, and ought to be repealed. The general public good requires its repeal. Bat the Board o Trade object to certain alleged freight dis * !riminations, and hence they object tn the re peal of an impat which ri syst©m of pol al economy can show to he p. litic or just or equalale. This is about the sum nod substance of the Board of Trade's arguments. They do not ltke one,,thing, and with most commendable wisdom They oppose another. They are acts ing like the boy, who could not lick his fellow, but gloried in the fact that he " could make' mouths at his sister." ' The worthy President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Williams, is an old and honorable mer chant, and we have no doubt he is perfectly sincere in his opposition to th:_s repeal. What he calls "our prejudices" are so strongly sus taintd by the sample rules of Tmlicy and econ omy in regard to great pablid works, not only in our own, but our sister States, that we cannot think we are in the wrong. The proCeedings of Councils, on Monday night, were a disappointment to the oppo nents of the-repeal of the tax, and the Board of Trade have ,signally failed to excite the feeling of the masses of the people upon th,3ir side of the question. The people cannot see how leaving the Tonnage Tax as it is,can make any difference in regard to freight discrimina, tion, but they can see that its continuance does and will give an unfair advantage to the great rival routes, north and south of us, to the injury of the interests of our own State. Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company. The Stockholders of this corporation held their first meeting since the consolidation, at the toomsf the Board of Trade, in this city, yesterday. The number of Stockholders in attendance was large, and much• interest was manifested. For a report of the proceed ings we refer to our local column. The election for Directors of the road will be held to-day. —Chas.

Although our suggestions was warmly approved by our editorial brethren through. out the State, the meeting did not take place at the time suggested—the 16th of January, owing to the excitement attending the inau guration of our present worthy Governor. The subject, in a somewhat different shape, has been revised by our friends of the Phila delphia press, who have issued a circulat in viting the members of the editorial profession in Pennsylvania, to meet; at the Musical Fund Hall, in the city of Philadelphia, on I the 21st of April, for the purpose of forming a State Editorial Association, to forward and uphold professional and Pennsylvania inter ests. We have no doubt of the valuable re sults of such an association in advancing the social prosperity of the State, as well as the business interests of the profession. We shall be present if it is possible, at the time appointed. ARCH 31 Hon. Samuel W, Black, United States Judge in the Territory of Nebraska, arrived "at home," for Pittsburgh must ever be a home to him, on Monday night. This is fudge Black's first visit to his native city, since he assumed the judicial ermine in the far West, and he will be warmly welcomed by his nu merous friends. He is looking in robust health as though the pioneer life agreed with him.— He will remain here about a week, after which he will visit Washington before returning to his jurisdiction. THE TONNAGE TAX-LETTER FROM J. EDGAR THOMSON. ESQ. Below we reproduce from the Commercial Journal, a letter addressed to the editor of that paper, by the President of the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company, upon the question of repealing the tonnage tax. It is brief and to the point, and places the Board of Trade re. port in its true light. We commend its pern- 4 sal toc'ottr business men : PHILADELPHIA, March 25, 1858 To M. laddle, Esq , Editor, s - c : DEAR SIB.:—I notice in your Journal of the 22d inst. that you have undertaken to prove the fallacy of the arguments contained in the Report of the Board of Trade of your city, in relation to the alleged discriminations made by the Penn sylvania Railroad Company against Pittsburgh If I thought that the gentlemen who signed that singular document, endorsed the views it sets forth as their individual convictions, or acted upon them in their private business trans actions, it might be worth while to reason with them upon the subject, but I should bo sorry.to place such an estimate upon their commercial intelligence. The reputed writer of this report, a few years since, when canals were in fashion,-attempted to convince the Legislature that if they would ap propriate sufficient means to alter the shape of the bottom of the canal locks, they would save a vast deal of water and keep the canal in navi gable order during the drie.t seasons. The reas ons which he has made use of in this report will hold water no hettee than his " now. fangled " looks would have saved it. There is titiparty who feels so sensibly, and reg,l•ets : so kejnlyi:the necessity that renders a teaterialeAlfference itt the'rates of transportation per mile lietweou Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, and other western cities, as the Directors and Stock holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company do. The rates of transportation between Phila• • deiphia and Pittsburgh are certainly low enough after deducting the tonnage " duty." They are not, more than one-half of what they r e pro be fore the Pennsylvania Railroad Company became transporters. The difficulty complained of by the Board of Trade Committee is traceable en tirely to the insane competition at low rates be tween the four Eest and West railroad companies, and the Tonnage Tax The Pennsylvania Rail roadtCompany have followed the rates of its ri vals, until they reached a point 1 hat w, uld barely pay the cost of transportation and the tonnage tax—ignoring altogether the claims of the stockholders. Notwithstanding these low rates, we have had to reject- thousands of tons of produce which we could have takeu but for this tonnage tax. When the Directors of the B. & O. R. R. Co., and their fellow sufferer 3 under the existing mates, have sufficiently recovered their reason ing faculties to be safely discharged from the in fluences that-now restrain them, and the State Legislature will act just'y to the residents on the line of the Pennsylvin's Railroad—ireat them as they treat the citizens of other portions of the State—then, and not ill then, will the extreme difference between local and through rates cease to exist. The completion of the Allegheny Valley Rail road, if that was attainable, would but add to the evils complained of, ivasmuoh as it would only add additional capital upon which interest has to be paid by taxing transportation, and for the accommodation of which there are already more facilities than are required by the tra.ile of he country. Yours truly, J. EDGAR TIIONISON. JUDGE BLACK. Separating and Smut Machine. This invention combines in the simplest possible manner in one machine, the lour well• known functions necessary to effectually cleati wheat of all foreign substances, and render it fit for grinding ; these are, first, a capability of separating all the lighter and foieign sub stances by blast ; second, separating by screen ing or sieving those foreign substances whose specific gravity will not allow of their passing off by the action of a proper blast ; third, of depriving the grain of all smut which may not have been blown off or separated before arriv ing at the scouring cylinder, and also scouring and polishing the grain ; and fourth, depriv ing the wheat by a light suction, as fast at it passes from the scouring cylinder, of dust, &c., without lifting and interfering with its dies charge. It is the invention of D. M. Done hoo, of Hookstown, Pa., and was patented last week. An Opening for FilMusters. The Sultan of Turkey, desirous to develop the resources of the Empire, we see, has thrown open to the settlement of foreign families a territory of something over 30,000 square miles, including districts of remarkable and well-known fertility, and skirted by a seacost nearly 3,509 miles in extent, washed by no less than six seas, with numerous and well known harbors in the Mediterranean, Adri atic, Archipelago, Black and Red Seas, and the Persian Gulf. Here now is a splendid oportunity for our Yankee filibusters, who must be just now pining for something to do. [For the Morning Poet.

J. K. Moorhead and Col George C. Babb, of this city, and AnMs E. Knap, Esq., of Northumberland, have been appointed by the Governor to perform the du , ties required by the act. These gentlemen are all eminently qualified for the bnsiness•as. signed them, and their high charactar for in tegrity gives undoubted assurance that neither the transporters nor the State will sutler in *ustice at their hands. In speaking of these apportionments a cor respondent of the Philadelphia Prcas says : " It was thought by many members, at th time of the passage of this act, that the Penn sylvania Railroad Company was liable for all tin damages sustained by these transporters; bu this is an egregrious mistake. The State alum is liable. The company can only be in the cveni of her closing the western Division, which hm not yet been done. The Portage Railroad, how ever, has been practically closed, thus rendering the use of the Western Division unprofitable t. transporters; but, in fact, it has not yet been shut up, and therefore the Pennsylvania Railroad Company need not pay any damages that may be assessed. "In the winter of 1855—'56 there was a great alarm among the transporters at the prospect of the canals, sooner or later, passing out of the control of the State, and a fear that the new owners might so discriminate as to injure their business and depreciate their property. They talked of withdrawing their lines of boats upon the cannl, and their train of cars upon the rail road, when the State stepped in, and in the fol lowing act pledged the faith of the Commonwealth for the security of certain transporters on the public works,' which was approved the 11th day of February, 1856, viz: That, for the encour agement and security of individual transporters upon the Main. Line of the public works, the faith of the Commonwealth is hereby pledged to such transporters, that in case of the sale of the said Main Line, or any part thereof, the bloats and cars of such transporters hereafter placed upon and used on said Main Line, or upon a part thereof so sold, shall be taken, if the owners thereof so desire, the purchaser or purchasers of the said Main Liue de the case may be, at a fair cash valuation, to be ascertained hereafter in such manner as the Legislature may hereafter provide as a condition of such sale.' This show,. clearly and explicitly who will have to pay the piper The damages will probably amount to $30,000 or 4,000 It is satisfactory to know that the three gen'lemon selected as appraisers are not only honest, but from long eSperienct arc eminently capable to judge of the damage done." Another Difficulty with a Prisoner—AA tempted Suicide. The town was thrown itdo consternation on Tuesday by a report that Thomas Downie, who was in jail charged with burglary, was literally killing himself by inches. Immediately a crowd collected at the jail, and soon had evi dence that the report was well founded. They found Downie without his coat, his arms and legs bare, engaged in hacking these limbs with a razor, and as a matter of course, the blood was-flowing profusely from those wounds. He expressed his determination to end his life In that slow and torturing manner, and declared that he would kill any person who undertook to pre• vent him from carrying out his determination Besides his razor, he had in his posession an iron stove leg, fourteen inches in length. With this formidable weapon he stood ready to knock any mall's brains out who should enter his cell, and being an active and determined person, would no doubt have made a vigorous attempt to carry out his threat. Pennerylvanta Indiana Illinois New York [ From the Mt. Sterling Gazette.] During the whole day ho conversed with his acquaintances, whom he could see from his cell window, and the openings in the door. He said he had made up his mind to commit suicide, and no power on earth could prevent him. Rum drinking had brought him to his present con dition, and he had no wish to live any longer, a burden to himself and a disgrace to his friends. He took this method of destroying his life in drder that his death might be lastingly impressed upon his associates, and that his melancholy end might prove a warning sufficient to keep them from the vice by which he had seen ruined—for their good he thus " offered himself as a thing sacrifice." At, sundown he should cut his throat and then set fire to his cell, hoping to be con sumed to ashes in the flames. This, with sundry threats against individuals, and the confession of the crime with which he is charged, which he declared he had committed while drunk, was the burden of his remarks. The nutting was ac companied with the singing of hymns. But the "sacrifice" was not destined to be as complete as he contemplated. Various methods were suggested of securing him, but none of them were effectual. Finally, while near the window a quantity of cayenne pepper was thrown into his eyes, and thus, blinded and thrown off his guard, he was secured. He handed a letter to the sheriff, addressed to his brother, at Cleveland, 0. He asks pardon of his brother for the disgrace he has brought upon him, and desires his body to be carried to. Cleveland, and buried by the side of his sister. On being taken to. the doctor's room, his wounds were examined and found to be severe, but net dangerous. His left arm was 'wiled in many places, but his legs were only slightly cut. His limbs are now extremely stiff and Bore and he is weak from loss of blood. But he is is no danger from his wounds. Ile till declares that he will kill himself whenever opportunity offers, and has commenced starving himself. This is a strange affair. The reason of Downie's conduct is as yet inexplicable; whether drunkenness, ac tual or assumed insanity led him into these pro ceedings, remains to be explained. There seem ed too much "method in his madness' . for a C 09.- niac, and his room mate, Dr. Reeves, says that he has had no liquor of any account to hie knowledge. Downie Yiad threatened to take Reeve's life for several days, and on the morning of this oc currence the latter had been removed to anothtr cell. Downie is a Sooteliman by birth, twenty-five or six years of age, and has resided in this town for about two years He is a painter by trade, a good mechanic, and, iu all respects, intelligent and competent. All are charitable enough to believe that the fault of which he is so nonsciolts is his greatest one. P S.—Since writirg the above, we learn that Downie is quite penitent, Find has concluded not to kill himself. —The Grumbler says :—" We regret to learn that several washerwomen have failed in con sequeuce of the Red Petticoat movement.

Bocoek, stir ii that twenty- eight gentlemen desire to express their views on 611 Kansas bill, and as only two days will elapse beforo the bill will be taken up, be thought it proper to state the fact, in order that members can govern them selves accordingly. Mr. Davidgo spoke an hour in defen'o of Sou , het u society and institutions. Mr. Walbridge spoke in opposition to Lecompton. Mr. Leidy spoke in favor of Lecompton. Mr. Davis ' of Maryland, expressed his astonish ment that the President recommeaded`tbe adni;oFiott of Kansas under such circumstances. The people of Maryland would resist the attempt to force Le oompton on the people, and if persisted in, the pew. ple of Kansas ought to resist. We cught not to drive them on to this mad revolstionary course, but -let them pursue the oven tenor they are inclined to follow; give them the opportunity to expreks their will as to the laws under which they are to live. Whether they present themselves with is constitution with or without slavery is immatsrial, but allow thew to come in the proper form, and at the proper time admit Kansas into.tce confederacy of States. Mr. Olay, of Kentucky, advocated the Lecompton Constitution. He regarded the agitation of slavery as the foundation of all this difficulty. In the course of his remarks he denied that his father wa.: the au thor of -,,h0 Missouri Compromise. Mr.'Campbell, of Ohio, in reply to a remark made by Mr. Clay in condemnation of the cause of the Northern men, read an extract from Henry Clay's speech in 1820 against the extension of slavery. Mr. Clay did not doubt that Mr. Campbell had correctly quoted from the' speech, but be would tell him that his father, believing that the Missouri Com promise was no longer operative, gave us something better, which was the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress in the affairs of a Territory, leaving the people to form their own institutions. Mr. Campbell replied that he had learned in his boyhood his first lessons from Henry Clay, and act ing upon- the principle announced by that distin guished statesman, that slavery ought not to be ex tended to a free Territory, he opposed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Mr. Clay regretted that Mr. Campbell had used his father's name. Mr. Campbell replied that he did it with respect. Mr. Clay thanked the gentleman. He said that ever since he had arriv.d at manhood an attempt had been made to put him O'JVird in his father's name. The effort had failed in Kentucky, and ne hoped to sustain himself in his present positi. everywhere. Mr. Campbell disavowed any disposition to put the gentleman down. He only wished to show that he concurred in the father's.arid not in the son's ViOWS. Mr. Clay—Very well. Mr. Harlan, of Ohio, spoke against the Lecempten Constitution. Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, oprosed the Kansas bill. He said that no improper motives could he at tributed to him, for he was a Southern man by birth, a, large slaveholder, and in favor of the extension of slavery. He maintained that the Legislature ~f Kansas had no power to subvert the territorial gcv ernment, and that the people are overwhelmingly op posed to the Lecomp'on Constitution.
