I=MZ;3I !,OeAI, AFFAIRS rb. Tonnage Tax—Another Meeting • Pursuant to adjournment on Thursday evening, the Se lect and Common C'onnclie of Pittsburgh, a Committee from the Pittsburgh Board of Trade, and numerous citizens nr.. ambled last evening at the Common Council chambers, for the purpose of holding a further conference with the Corn• raittee from the Philadelphia Board of Trade, relative to the repeal of the Tonnage Tax. At eight o'clock the meeting was called to order, sod the elncers of the former meeting took their places. Capt. Campbell stated that the floor was fn e to any one who might wish to make any remarks on the subject before the meeting. Mr. Joseph It. Hunter said he held In his hand a comp, Bitten he had prepared during the day, knowing that ho could not make an exteruperam,uB epr ech, ici,ich, , :th the permission of the meeting, he would read. He thou pro ceeded as follow, : The tax imposes on the Penosylvaula Rath° d is a tax, nut upon the Railroad Company and the citizens at large, but upon ihe business men and shippers of merchaudize, whose aim should be the reduction of the rates charged by that company. lay Pittsburgh merchants, more partieu larly, should this question be well considered and bet•er understood. To my mind this tonnage tax is an imposition and should be repealed by the Legislature. Why? lieeisuse It compels us to pay into the Treasury of the State ou goo I, transported on the Central Railroad a large amount of money, thereby taxing a few Ibr the benefit of the Pittsburgh bears the heaviest burtheu, and for her I now speak, not forgetting the interest, of the entire Co:lmi,, wealth. Take, for instance, the recuip.b of our wareLoun s, and you will find that the heaviest tax paid for busimes purposes does not equal the surplus amount paid to the company in company In consequence of the three mills tax.

On this they pay a surplus freight of 90 ceubi per ton, ur $540 per annuls. This sum' may seem small to many of you, but when u e several amounts paid by the hundreds of our Lusine , e , houses are consolidated, the aggregate shows how largeh we contribute to the State Treasurer without Ilatillug a , responding advantage.

It is chained that by this tax a large amount of 'event', accrues hi the State. This is very true; but far be it Irian me hi approve of the taxing of ono portion of the State for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the whole; und however patriotic my heart may Mel towards the good old tlommonwealth of Pennsylvania and the liquidatLea of 1),,, obligatiOtiel t that patriotism will not lead me 80 far no to ex pend my means by compulsion. This would not be patriot ism. The patriotic citizen makes his offering voluntarily. to my opinion this tonnage tax is as imposition, hid Legislature should repeal it. But as a citizens of PittsLurtzli and Western Peunmylvania, 1 feel It to be my duty, as man especially identified with her interests, to ofipone this repeal, unless we Call guilt by the capitulation. I use the word "eapitulstion" in its most significant ilouso. dalphia and the Pennsylvania Railroad, through their rep, aeutatives, to whom we imitened With so much iffeaeure lax! evening, Lave signified a willingness to treat, and are here with the hag of truce.

What his remarks had to do with the question of repea:jug the tonnage tax, we were utterly unable to perceive. A ;callous recapitulation of the early history of railroads, from the west to the eeab•.ard, succeeded his equally tedion' semi-political exordium. The lutelligeut an respectable gentleuieu from Philadel. phis must have been highly edified tr;" the manner in which the Senator from Allegheny spoke of goetleman whom they are accustomed to look upon us highly intrdligicir, boniest uud liberal—men whose enlarged minds and pict.riutic public views can scarcely conceive of such contracted littlenees us was displayed in this remarks of "the honorable gentle man." We beg the members of the Cernmittee from Phila delphia to recollect that the Speaker was MA a represents. five of the merehauts or Pithstiargh and that they do not desire to be responsible for hie impulsive s .eech-making propensities, or his wholeaale irripietelimeut of the personal and commercial honesty of alone who manage or have in terest in great public improvemente.

Mr. M'Auley iti.kt.l a the Committee WWI authorized to any that the tax would be thrown off i' reputed, to which Mr. riouilerA replied in the affiruititivd. Mr. M'Auley thought that the reduction on freight cowing only to Pittsburgh woo a ewull matter. lie thought we unetted the to-mage tax to make up our and elvsed with it few remarks on discriminations. Mr. Souders explaiusd principle of the division of freights received on a lung lino of roads extending f.otu West to East. Were the tax repealed, the Pennsylvania Railroad would receive the same proportion no now, and consequently have so touch more revenue. Mr. birkey thought the repeal would out remove the pritr tipal difficulty—that olio:deal • against Pittsburgh. Or.

If UP- thought It could sot he they would go back to Philsleitif ia and oppose its repeal. Tue speakbr was sorry that the arguments ad vanced had not touched the mein point in question. lie asked if the gentlemen expected the rates along the er>. tire line of the road to be redo - it'd to the same propor tion ail to the West. lie thought such a policy would be ruinous. A Western trade must be advantage/111 to Pitts burgh—lf not, it is our interest to cut off all such trade. The speaker rettlrated souse of his remarks of Thu allay evening relative to the effect or an increased Western trod, on Pittsburgh and on Philiteelph in. This Committee has had no correspondence with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, except what Mr. Thomas himself had with Mr. Fester, the Vice President ut the Com pany. Ale had propounded several interrogatories; 'among them Wail one ticking them if the repeal of the tonnage Lax was effected, if the redaction would accrue to the benefit. of Paunnylvania mercbaut3, to which au afiltaiativa unswer WWI returned. Dr. Outrun said that the desiro of the people wan to have the rates equalized throughout Pennsylvania, the Easteru Staten and Cho Groat West.. Mr. fienuett thought the affected nut ouly the I.llBlLEl facturerd of Pittsburgh, but of all Western Pennsylvania, but the merchants who sold goods to the furnaces in this aeetlou of the Btate. He thought the tax should not be re duced, but doubled. Mr. Erreit made a abort " buncombe " speech, which was replied to by Mr. Thomas, In a few pertinent remarks. Mr Oampbell paid a left.banded compliment to Dr. liar• aauf speech, and vulie at some length in opposition to the repeal 0 - f the tax. Mr. rKelvy moved that a Committee be appointed to visit Phladelphia, uud lay before the Railroad Company the grievances complained of. Mr. M'Atiley opposed the motion and moved to lay It on the table. ai!IVMM!MMWPT!!!M!MIUMIWII Tao Bi:Nlll , l7.—We hope the many friends of (lovernor Foster will not allow the demonstration In his behalf, on Monday evening, to pass off tamely.
