In England th e word protection as applied t) manufactures and industrial pursuits, Le2liale hateful to the masses of the people, becetee! it was the eel tish demand of an already privileged clam The people wanted protec tion against tnouopolies. But in America, and especially in Pennsylvania, protection is a good word, and has a different signifitance from its English use. Here we do not fear aionopoln.s as they do in England; we, ,the people, ac up, sovereigns ; we make our (Win laws, and if wee make monopolies, it is our own fault. and we can unmake them again when we find t' en out, as such. Here pro teetiori implicit the defence of our own incluse try and the natural products of our own soil, against such foreign competition as is calcu lated to bring down tke price of our produce noes so low as to afford neither a fair profit to the prodocer, nor adequate wages to the werking man ft is the legitimate province of h nowt government to afford this kind of protection to its people. 'lt is hound in its own territory to see fair play to all interests, and provide Such restrictions upon foreign im portati.m', as will preyerit. our producers from being swamped in our own markets by inade quate prices. The intelligent American work ingniau is not to he placed in compariniii with the ill paid limper laborers of European na tions ; here he is one of the sovereigns, and has rights which are bound to be protected, nod one 6t these rights is "a fair eily'e wages for a fair day's work." For instance, in Penn sylvania, where so large a proportion of our population are so largely iuterested,directly or indirectly, in the production of iron—if an im ported aniele competes with our own to such au extent tleit 4 qiiie manufacturer cannot re. ceive a fair return for hie capital invested and. his risks, and, at the same,time, pay such wages to thief) in his employment as will evil tile them to provide for their families in such a manner as an American citizen has a right mid ought to expect to live--then we say teat the government is bound to afford the iron in terest of Pennsylvania protection -not for the purp ise of building up a wealthy cuanu• facturiug aristocracy, but to show fair play to all—the laborer and the capitalist--th.e nia tenet man ante the fanner, who furnishes the supplies upon which both the industrial and the wealthy subsist. it is one of the first du ties of all national legislation to create and increase a domestic trade between the differ ent classed and pursuits of the same communi, ty. In ii properly constituted common. wealth, diversity of pursuits and unequal die. tribution of wealth are inevitable. Intelli gence and progress are, thank God I in this country, u thorough preventive of anything tyke agrarianism. In Pennsylvania, the question of protection is not merely one of politics,--it relates to employment and population as well as to the iuveetinerit of capital. It is one in which all 'clusses - the termer as well as the mechanio— huve an equal interest. lt is for the direct interest of the farmer on the Allegheny, the Clarion, and the J u Mato, that the furnaces sod mills in his neighborhood should be constantly at work, and it oleo directly afients the em', ployers in thosi! establishments. The proper kind of protection to our manufacturing inter ests would not increase the price to the con.. ei ee " : , e r. This argument ill a fallacy. Such weak] be the effect of an increase of duties upon arty article which we could not produce —tea and coftee, foe instance. This no one desires. But to increase the duties upon iron, glues, hardware and such articles as w e can and do produce, does not necessarily increase the price to the consomer. A judicious in crease of duties results in an increasceof cap ital and lebor in the benefit ted branch of in. dustry, and home competition will regulate the prices as effectually es foreign can do. At the same time, the borne manufacturer, know ing that he can undersell the foreign one, wily regulate his stock by the demand, and will nie nriees at such a high figure that the importer can come in competition with him. Thus we shall be able to keep ourmouey at home, increase employment at home, and at the same time have as good articles at as fair a price as now. Thus the prosperity of the entire community will be advanced, and the advantages will inure equally to all classes. The great benefit of a fixed and fair amount of protection to home icdustry is the certainty which it gives to the safe investment of cap. ital and the constant emyloyenent of labor. If we depend upon foreign protection, we must be subject to the commercial finctuap (ions and necessities of foreign countries. Our money must be expended among a people with whom we have no interest. If we puts chase at home what we can make at home, this evil is avoided. The interests of Pennsylvania, the largest icon producing State in the Union, demand some modification of the present tariff of duties upon such articles as she produces and manufactures. In the construction of the present law, the old Keystone has scarcely had fair play. A sort of middle ground between the North and South, she has yielded much to the interests of both, and sacrificed some thing which she should have retained for hen self. It seems probable that the present necessities of the public treasury may ere long call for some change in the tariff as a means of increasing the revenue of the government. When the Jubject shall be considered/ as it may be by the present Congress, if they ever get through with the Kansas question, the people of Pennsylvania will look to their rep, resentatives to do what lies in their power, for the encouragement of our great producing interests atd especially our iron manufac- APRit, 16, 181:0 turera. At another time we shall speak of this sub 'act more particularly in its bearing upon our own State. Governor Packer has been moat watchful of the interests of the people of the State in the care with which he has examined every bill which has passed the Legislature since he assumed his Antes. All his veto messages, of which he has been obliged, in the perform ance of his duty, to issue quite a number, are model documents of the kind of State papers. In each instance his reasoning has been clear, brief, and satisfactory, and in no case has his decision been reversed. Hasty bills, special legislation, and acts of doubtful constitution, ality, he puts a finish to in a ornrteous, able, and decided manner, which, while it prevents public harm, increases the respect for his judg ments and his talents, in the minds of all. His last veto was of " An act relative to the Courts of Lancaster county," which pro.. posed to empower two associate judges, one of whom being learned in the law, to hold courts of Oyer and Terminer. This bill was vetoed as unconstitutional, the fifth section of the fifth article of the constitution, provid ing that two of the judges constitute a quorum of such Court, the President being one. After able, and convincing elamination of the con aitional question involved in this act, Gov. Packer says: I am aware that the views hereinexpressed may be considered somewhat in oonflict with the decision of tho Supreme Court of this State, made in the case of the Commonwealth vs ; but it must be remenibared that the rule of construction in our judicial tribunals in de a termin the constitutionalily of an act of As sembly ' differs essentially from that which should be applied by the Legbtlature or Eseouilve branch of the government. It is the duty of the law making departments to give the moist.; itoion a strict construction, and, to avoid the itti ercise of doubtful powers. Courts of justice, cc the contrary will never declare en sat Of Assem bly unocaistituti.ual if it eau, by -,ny rational de auction, be reconciled with the fundamental law. Where a doubt exists, that doubt is solved in fuvor of the validity of the act, upon the pi suraption the t the L , gielattiro,ii co ordinatebranch of the government, has judged directly of own constitutional powers. But a well founded doubt, whether a propos,Al enactment is not foe - hidden by the coustituliou, is a suffioient reason tor restraining the action of the Legislature. Doubtful puffers can never be safely exercised, and consequently nu law should be enacted by the General Assembly which is not clearly within the pale of the constitution. The same rule enjoins the judiciary, in the discharge of its Duties, to retrain from intrenching on the powers of the leslislative department of the government A firm adherence to these roles of construe tion will ineuro the fundamental law of ibe :'itate against infraction from a quatater, and will thug prutoet our people in the full enjoyment of thous invaluable privileges eecured to them from legislative or judicial inleforenea, by that law which emanated directly from themselves, and was adopted and sanctioned by their owl' imme diate voics. —During the pa.st.two years, Governor Chase, ot' Ohio, has pardoned eighty six OCILVietB, re prieved one, and commuted the sentence of !tn.'
