A MODIFICATION OF THE TAILIF.F
Heretofore vve have taken occtision,throug,h
the columns of the Post, to urge upon the
attention of the Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress from Penney
vania, the vital importance to the people o
the State of more protection for her products
and mannfactures, and especially for the iron
interest. We have shown that Pennsylvania
is the-greatest iron producing State in the
Union=that her coal beds are inexhaustible,
and that she possesses within the bosom of
her own soil, elements of wealth, which are
unrivalled by any country in the world. We
have shown the beneficial results to Ameri-
can industry of every description—agricul
tural, mechanical, and commercial, which the
rapid and economical development of the nat-
ural resources of our State would produce,
and we have also shown that the paralysis,
which at present exists ink almost every
branch of manufacturing business, and espe•
daily among the producers and manufaa
turers of iron, is the result of the uncertainty
that the tbusiness will prove -remunerative,
owing to the fact that the cheap labor of Eu
rope is permitted to come so nearly in direc
competition with the free labor -of America
In the articles upon this subject which have
already appeared in our columns, we think ,
we have shown conclusively that the interesttr
of Pennsylvania labor are not peoperly pro-
toted under the present tariff, and that the
present. plethora of capital in the country
would at once seek investment in manufac..
tures, and furnish abundant and well paid
employment for all classes, if there were a
reasonable certainty that, besides paying la
bor and first cost of materials, a fair profit
for the investment could continue to be re-
alized. Give, for instance, a prospect of per
manency to the iron business, and much of
the capital, which is now lying idle in the
hands of men who do not wish to run unu..
sualor unnecessary risks would at once seek
investment in the iron and coal regions of
Pennsylvania, and would furnish remunera
tive employment to thousands of American
workmen, who are now idle. In Pennsylva
nia, all that is needed to make the people
prosperous is a restoration of confidence.
The Democratic party has always been op
posed to high tariffs for protection only ;
their doctrine is a Tariff for revenue, w
discriminations for protection where protec
tion is most needed. It is now, we presume,'
an admitted fact, that the wants of the gov
ernment will require an addition to the public
revenue to meet its necessary expenses, and to
repay loans which the public service has re
quired, and the people look to the present
Demdcratic Administration and the present
Democratic Congress for a revision of the
Tariff, and when this shall be done, Pennsyl
vania, as the greatest iron producing State in
the Union, will be, entitled to such discrimi
nations in her favor, as will enable her iron
men to compete with foreign manufacturers,
and by developing the hidden wealth of her
mountains and her valleys, make the farmer,
the mechanic, the merchant and the laborer
prosperous.
The President is a Pennsylvanian, and
knows veil both the resources and wants of
the State. Re has observed with pain the
disastrous effects upon the great industrial
pursuits of the State, of the present condi
tion of affairs. We are well assured that he
has given his calm arid earnest consideration
to the present condition of Pennsylvania, and
when .the opportunity is afforded, as it will be
afforded at the next session of Congress, he will
directly and pointedly, call the attention of
the national Legislature, to the fact that the
true interests of the State need more protec,
tion, add will earnestly urge upon Congress,
in the adjustment of a new tariff, which for
revenue purposes, has became a necessity, to
do justice to Pennsylvania. The people of the
old kaystone State, look with confidence to Mr .
Buchano,n, and the present Democratic Con-
gressmen and Senators from their own State
to accomplish this great good for them. The
opportunity now afforded, in the demand for
an increased revenue, may not soon occur
again. A fair encouragement can now bo
given to capital and labor, in developing our
natural resources. The time for which the
necessity will exist for-this aid, will at most
be short, for when once fairly put in motion
economy in production induced by home com
petition, will soon enable us to compete with
the world in our manufactures, without refer
ence to tariffs, the protection of which the
producing interest of America, do not need
except in their infancy. A few years of
prosperous business, aided by a tariff so
modified as to protect her interests for the
time, will make Pennsylvania independent of
the world. The revision of the present tar
iff, is a matter which the people may most
safely trust to the present administration.—
No statesman in the nation has a more thor
ough knowledge of the great vital interests of
the country than James Buchanan. In hie
large experience in the history and workings
of all sorts of tariff, and hie most competent
judgment of' what each State needs for its
prsoperity, and his patriotic desire to see
every State prosperous where it can be done
without injustice to her sister States, the peo
ple of Pennsylvania have every confidence.
In his next annual message, they look for him
to indicate to Congress, the defects in the
working of the present tariff, and to point out
where and how it way be made to produce
more revenue to the public treasury, and at the
same time build up and strengthen the domes.-
tic interests of the States. The Democracy
are not willing to trust this matter in the
hands of their opponents, who always do
things by extremes. It is of too much im
portance to be entrusted to other than friend
ly hands. The iron men of Penney ivania,
are already prepared with carefully detailed
statements in regard to their interests in the
State, and the Secretary of the Treasury, who
is emphatically a working man, is fully post
ed with facts and figures to show where and
how, in remodeling the present tariff, it
may be improved, and when it is done as it
will be next winter, the country may expect
one of the best tariff systems which it has
ever had.

Underground Telegraph to California.
We learn from the Cleveland Pla in Dealer,
that Messrs. O'Reily, Speed and others, are
perfecting a sort of narrow prairie plow, with
which to lay an underground cable through
the western prairies to California. The plow
is to cut a channel, say, three inches wide
and three feet deep, so constructed as to pay
out from the immediate heel of the plow, the
insulated wire which will be in no way con
nected with the plow, caer than passing down
through it as it progresses. It is expected
that on common prairie, this plow may be
driven from ten to fifteen miles per day, fill-
ing in and covering the wire as it goes. The
perfection arrived at in isolating wire with
gutta-percha, is very great : the machinery is
so perfect and condensed as to add much to
the facility and security of such an enters
prise.

Attempted Murder.
On Thursday, - says the Ohio State Journal,
a man named Sebastean Wherls, a German,
who keeps a stove store in Newark, came to
Columbus, and left to return on the evening
train. The next morning he was discovered
in a fiield north of the depot, with his throat
cut in seven er eight places. His pocketbook
was missing. He was not dead but his re,
covert', is very doubtful. No clue has yet
been discovered fa' the perpetrators of the
murderous deed.
Maltby House.
This capital Baltimore Hotel, the place
where people from the West prefer to stop,
and especially; Pittsburghers, has recently
changed bands. Under the charge of H.
M. Smith, Esq., it was always a first rate
house, and we are well assured that Mr.
S. U. Maltby, who succeeds him, will add to
its already high reputation. The; house has
undergone extensive alterations and improve
ments, and has been refitted and refurnished,
and is, in all respects, well deserving a con
tintt,nce of the large patronage which the
houss - 6 has enjoyed for years. The fare has
been reduced to $1,50 per day. •
Judge Wilkins
We are pleased to learn that the health of
Judge Wilkins is improving. He has been
confined to his room for a week past in con
sequence of a severe cold, and not as stated
by some of the morning presses, induced by
a second attack of paralysis.
The comet of 1858 is now visible to the na
ked eye. It is only about a hundred and for
ty millions of miles distant, is very rapidly
approaching the earth, and already shows
through a common opera-glass a well defined
tail. We are told that during the first week
in October, the comet will be of the most
striking brightness, possibly the largest of the
con tury,and at that time will be seen near Arc
turus, perhaps even surpassing that star in
splrdor. It is now visible for about an hour
after sunset and an hour before sunrise, in a
line with the two stars called the Pointers„
and forming nearly a right angle between
these and Arcturus. It is best seen at four
o'clock in the morning. Dr. Gould suggest
ed _in the last number of his Journal that,
from the similarity of the elements, it was
possible that this comet was identical with
the first comet of 1827, and also that of 17G4
This fact seems, from the recent observations,
almost certain, affording a reasonable pre
sumption that it is a periodic comet, whose
period is about thirty-one years.

_
Hr. President and Gentlemen : —Coming from
a place where I have witnessed a Convention
controlled by . Federal power and Federal patron
age, I feel proud once more to meet the people in
Convention—popular sovereigns, nut subject to.
and controlled by Federal officials—themselves
the minions of a greater power. Proceeding at
once to the question at issue, I will ro-state w' at
perhaps moat of you have already read in the
public print. Elected to a seat in Congress, by
the noble Democracy of California, upon the
platform of principles laid down at Cincinnati,
I repaired to Washington, fully determined to
maintain tho faith to which I had pledged my
self, against all opposition. What was my as•
tonishment, then, immediately after the opening
of Congress, to dad the President of the Uaitcd
States himself, endeavoring, with the aid of all
his immense powers, to give the force of law to
a principle in_ direct antagonism to the groat
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, upon which he
had been elected, and which formed so bold and
prominent a feature in the Cincinnati platform
Great leaders iu the party were not elow to op
pose him. The illustrious author of the Kansas
Bill, and the then Governor of that Territory,
both true and tried national Democrats, were
among the first to identify themselves with the
Opposition. I believed then, and I believe
now, that their judgment was correct and their
action patriotic. I went with them heart and
soul ; and, afterwards, when the Legislature
passed that wonderful string of resolutions, in
structing Senators and requesting Representa ,
tives to side with the Administration. I disre
garded their request, believing it to be a mis
representation of the will of my constituents and
a betrayal of theDemooraey of California. Was
I right? [Applanee, and yes, yes, you were
right.] The people of this State have been
pleased to give me an honorable position ; I sin
cerely thank them for it, and not the hope of pe
cuniary gain or the lust of power shall induce
me to betray their confidence. [Mare three
cheers for Joe Iletlibben were proposed, and

Slave Parqulaltem.
The Pe.tersburgh (Va.,) Democrat noticae that
among the shipments recently made from Abbe
ville, S. C., to the North, was a bale of cotton,
the property of a negro slave. The Southern
Guardian, of Columbia, S. C., thusremarks upon
this foot:
This natio° of the Democrat affords ns the op
portunity of. saying what everybody in this
State knows, viz: tbat the plantation negroes
have the privilege of raising their owa orops,
their own fowls, eggs, pork, corn, peas, water •
melons and vegetables, their master giving each
a piece of land for the purpose, and not inter
fering with their raising of poultry or stook, but
rather aiding them to be industrious and eco
nomial.
We have known as many as six, seven, or eight
bales of the slaves' cotton, from a moderate sized
plantation, brought to market with their master's
crop, and we have known, further, that in nu
merous instances the master took more pains in
getting a good price for his people " than for
himself, in selling his produce. These lots, con
sisting of a few bales, were perhaps divided
among twenty or thirty slaves, yet the master
always got the buyer to.make the calculations
and distribute properly the payments among the
producers. It is a happy time for the slaves.
Besides these products they are privileged, in
their leisure hours, to get ready for market sun
dry domestic manufactures—wooden trays, hasti
kets, brooms, &o. These people are well clad
and fed. No starvation—no perishing from cold
or want of proper clothing will t e found on the
plantations of the South—on the other hand, on
a well regulated place everything betokens cora•
fort, hilarity, and contentment.
Gloomy Prospects in 'Utah.
The Salt Lake correspondent of the St:
Louie Republican, whose last letter was dated
on the 13th of August, reports everything
in the Territory quiet and peaceable, but
gives a gloomy account of the domestic con
dition of the people. We give brief es.
tracts
The Mormons have tried for the last five years
to raise and store a surplus of grain, that they
might have enough to sustain themselves during
a scarcity, bat - have failed in consequence of iha
destruction of their crops by crickets, bail,
drought and grasshoppers. It is reported that
nearly one-third of the wheat crop this season
is amut,and the bishops (who are fathers in tem
poral things to the people,) aro recommending
the greatest care in harvesting and the most
strict economy in using grain, else the people
will not have bread enough to eat before another
harvest.
It is estimated that there will be over forty
thousand head of stook brought into the valley
this season, and very great fears are entertained
that they cannot be wintered here if the season
turns out severe. There is not the least doubt
but thousthids of them will perish before spring,
as the best valleys for wintering are already
taken up, and there is not hay in the Territory
to feed one thousand head. Some of the mer
chants are fully aware of this, and have forward
ed to California over one thousand head, such as
they thought could travel.

MORE A ROUT TLI PROTEST.
Because I have, with other Democrats, protested
against the resolutions adopted by the late Demo
cratio County Convention, my Anti•Looompton co•
workers have, by misconstruing the meaning of the
protest, thought it proper to assail mo in all quarters
as recreant to the principles of popular sovereignty
for which we have so successfully contended in this
county for a year past.
To explain my position on the tax question, and
to refute the charge of apostasy to the true faith, I
beg leave to be heard through the columns of your
paper. What I have to Say will not only define my
own position, but also teat of the entire list of pro
testants, no inconsiderable number of whom are
zealously laboring for the Anti•Locompton princi
ples of the Cincinnati platform.
A few years ago, I signed petitions asking the
County Commissioners to issue their bonds in favor
of certain railroad companies for the purpose of
speedily completing the several roads leading into
the county, and which were, in my humble opinion,
essential to the commercial and manufacturing in
terests of the city of Pittsburgh. These same peti
tions were signed by thousands of oar citizens, and
the bonds were issued in good faith. At the time
there seemed to he but little, if any, opposition, and
the Commissioners were praised to the skies for doing
so wise a thing.
Since the iSdUd of the bonds, a party has sprung
into being doubting its constitutionality, and many
members of that party are now seriously entertaining
the dishonest doctrine of repudiation. The sonti•
went prevails with many who were the moat earnest
in these petitions to the Commissioners to issue the
bonds. For myself, I am of the opinion that the
levying of taxes and expenditure of money for other
than the legitimate purposes of carrying on the
county government, interferes with individual rights
and is unconstitutional. I havo arrived at this con
clusion after a full examination of the subject and
am compelled to admit that the polioy of our prayers
was not wise. Bat, withal I oannd6 espouse the
repudiation mode of getting rid of this debt. I can•
not gainsay the decision of the Supreme Court, but
will adhere to the decrees of that high tribunal with
that pertinacity which should oharacterise all good
law.abiding citizens. If frauds have been commit
tal by the railroad companies in obtaining corporate
subBcriptions, the law will protect the corporations
as it would individual dealers when the proofs of
fraud are presented ; but when bonds have been issued
in good faith in pursuance of law and without fraud,
it would be morally wrong in ue at this late day to
repudiate, oven ii the cooris should decide that they
are not binding. Surely no one, whose petitions
were effective in procuring these sotooriptions, can
honestly entertain adverse sentiments.
This bond issue web the only, guastLn eulanitted
to the people by the Convention, and it to the exolu
sion of all subjects affecting our National and Stater
tioverntnents.
It is alleged that the signets of the protest favor
an endorsement of the Administration Elatiene policy.
The protest means no :toil' thing, and the author of
it, knowing the feeling of the people on this Calhoun
swindle, very carefully framed his work so that Anti-
Lecompten Democrats could stand on it without coin
promising their elieri6hed prinoiplee. The author
also knew tio. the Conventicle would not have en•
dereed the Lecompton Constitution had it given ex
pression to its well:known opinions, but would have
reiterated the do 'trines of the Cincinnati Conven
tion, lauded, pertiape, the fureign policy of the Ade
ministration, aed renounced its proscriptive feature
in relation t, the friend, of Senator Douglas.—
This, or a direct entiorsent,ni of the Administration,
should hate been the fearless action of a Democratic
Convention. But a taw dollars and cents supplanted
the greatest question of the day, and a ticket was
nominated upon no other issue than Allegheny coun
ty repudiation of debts honestly contracted.
The Convention " resolved, for the present, to I
forego the consideration of National and State poli
oy " and presented Mr. Barite as the candidate to
represent this distriet in the next Congress. It is
apparent to every man that the nornieee is a gentle
man of marked ability, who battled manfully for the
Democratic ticket in 1856. But the great principle—
the trill nt the ma iority—upon which that battle was
fought and now has been abandoned by the Presi
dent in an endeavor to enslave the free white man of
Kansas who dared to regulate their domestic institu
tions in their own way. The rerpetnity of the Union
depends on the triumph cf this principle, and its
consideration should have bean a matter of great
moment, especially in connection with the nomina
tion of a candidate for Congress. The people, &thin.
log to know how Mr. Burke now stands on this quos
tion, aro told that ho is in favor of repudiation. How
insulting to common intelligence'
The Convention, in " foregoing the consideration
of National policy" completely dissolved its con
nection, "for the present," with the National Damo•
erotic party , and abusive billingsgate is hurled at
every protesting Democrat whose honesty of purpose
and love of country carries him beyond his own
doorstep to defend principles which have been as
sailed and which are of vital importance to the
whole ennntry. The Democratic party will not
abide hy the deesisioue of the Convention, and Mr.
Burke cannot expect Democrats to ;me for him on
national issues when ho " foregoes their considera
tion Cr r the present" and acourds the nefarious repu
diation resolutions. The - question of popular sove
reignty nod the admission of Kansas into the Union
will he before the-next tßingreas and the Anti Be
compton wing of thiPDetilooratlo partY Val not Huf
f r itself to be betrayed into the support of an antl
tax-bubble candidate fin Congress because a Convene
Lieu of faithless Democrats have supplanted the time
honored principles of the party " for the present."
For myself, I am oppoued to this proceeding, and
can only give my humble rupport to oandidates
whose principles are in perfect consonance with the
resolutions ado Cincinnati Convention, and in fail
ing to vote for Mr. Burke I cannot offend any mum
her of the late Convention, or do injustice to myself
as a consistent Democrat, nothing having been pre•
sented to command my suffrage but a private grief
of a few gentlemen who received their " thirty pieces
of silver" for doing the wort they now wish to de
stroy. I protest against the resolutions of the Con
vention, denying its right to enforce them on the
party. A DEMOCRAT.

FRIENI, BARR see the Democracy of this city
and comfy are in a very deranged state just now. It
may be hoped, however, that a judicious and concil
iatory course of action may soon settle the efferves.
canoe and restore hamony.
The question which seems to 63 the primary cause
of the present derangement of our party organiza
tion 12, that local question should not tend to disor
ganize the party.
It seems the Supreme Court of the State were di
vided regarding the ;egret validity of certain city and
county bonds, that were issued by pity and county
authorities. It seems that a majority of the mem
bers of the Supremo Bench dooided in favor of the
validity of those bonds.
Two of the members of the Supreme Bench, with a
largo number of citizens, now, it would seem, hold
the opinion that those bonds ate, and should be, le.
gaily decided to bo invalid.
Many citizens seem to hold the opinion that the
deobsion of the three members of the Supremo Bench
was correct, and should be sustained.
There seems to be no political heresy that strikes
at any principle of the National Democracy by yip
orous action of either party in this local controversy.
The disgraoeful and extremely injudicious conduct
of a majority of the Democratic Convention in their
refusal to identify any of their proceedings with the
National Democracy, and their outrageous conduct
in showing disrespect to some of our oldest, most
distinguished and most meritorious leading Demo
crate, was deeply humiliating; but with all that,
this excited .elected Democratic Convention, with all
their indiscretion, selected 001116 good, sound, reliable
Democrats, who can, and it may he hoped will, be
supported by all good Democrats, and from their
well known competency and honesty will be sus
tained by many voters who aro opposed to their po
litical proclivities. The Democracy should, under
all circumstances, stand firm to principles, and guard
with strict censorship the tenets of their political
faith, regardless of consequences.
The Democracy must be the same at all prints of
the compass and in every locality in oaoh section of
the conntry. Therefore, oven a certainty of defeat
at any One of any member of points, should not in ,
timidate any honest Democrat, or induce him to
abandon any ono principle of his national political
faith, nor even endanger it by collusion with any
prescriptive party or clique,
It seems the nominees of the Democratic Con.
vention have been selected by an exclusively " Anti-
Tax Convention," which should be an encouragement
to the Democracy, especially, when It was obvious
that the Democratic Convention was mere " Anti-
Tax " than Democratic.
Some of the Democratic nominees, it seems, were
selected by a Convention of the most illiberal anti-
Democratic party that ever was organized in the
Malted States, viz : Know Nothing or "American."
SEMh candidates, professing to be Democrats, should
voluntarily come nut, boldly refusing to recognize
any nomination from geld proscriptive party. Such
candidates as will not voluntarily, should be impor
tuned to disclaim any and all kinds of proscriptive
and anti• Democratic organization. M.
THE hn ickerbocker thus touches the kind
of beings that spoil very respectable women
in idle efforts to be very ordinary men
There were some " strong minded women,"
speakers at a recent New England Reform
Convention , one, especially, being a perfect

she " aired her mind " fully—what there was
of it. She manifested no little contempt for
the male gender, and not is little reminded us
of a scene which was once witnessed in old
Park Theatre. The play for the evening was
that ludicrous pocket handkerchief piece, "The
Stranger." Directly before us sat an elderly
married couple. The gentleman, a narrow
shouldered, high..cared, long-nosed specimen

plump lady, with bead erect, cheeks glowing,
and eyes wandering, beneath an exalted till.

ahnost threatened escapement. The man was
much moved at the distresses of Mr. and Mrs.
Haller. Tears trickeled his long nose and
white pinched nostrils: and ever and anon
he would jog Madame, that she might assist
his melancholy enjoyment of the scene with
her sad sympathy. But not so ; she told him
several times to " Hush!" and at length re-

Great Indian Battlo.
A great Indian battle took place list week be%
tween the Pawnee Indians on the one side, and
the Cheyennes, Camanohes and Sioux on the
other. There were about 1,000 of the Pawnees
against 1,500 of- the Allies.
The fight was caused by the stealing of horses
and the occasional lifting of a scalp en either
side. Finally they agreed to meet for an "hon
orable adjustment of their difficulties" upon
the " blood stained field of battle," at the head
waters of the Little Blue, about one hundred
miles west of Neeraska City.
They fought during an entire day from " dewy
morn till dusky eve." The Allies fought with
desperation; but finally eighteen of their braves
were compelled to " bite the dust "—the remain
der broke and fled.
And thus ended the battle.—Nebraska News
MADAME DE GENUS, in her memoirs, describes
the training she underwent to fit her for Parisian
society in the last century :
I had two teeth pulled out ; I had whalebone
stays that pinched me terribly ; my feet were
imprisoned in tight shoes, with which it was im
possible for me to walk ; I had three or four
thousand curl papers on my head, and I wore,
for the first time in my life, a hoop. In order to
get rid of my country attitudes, I had an Iron
collar pat on my neck ; and as I squinted a little
at times, I was obliged to put on goggles as soon
as I awoke in the morning, and these I wore
four hours. I was, moreover, not a little sur
prised when they talked of giving mo a master to
teach me what I thought I knew well enough
already—to walk. Besides all this, I was for
bidden to run, leap, or to ask questions.

Michael Kelly, No. 117 Seventh, near Brant street,
Pittsburgh, says :
"Last July, while running on the river, on a cot
ton boat plying between Natchez and New Orleans,
I was taken with Fever and Ague. Fur eight long
months I suffered with this dreadful disease. The
greater part of this time I was ltnablp to work, and
spout at least fifty dollars for different medicines,
but found no permanent relief. Three weeks ago,
one of my friends insisted upon my trying Bcerhave's

After taking it for one week, I must say I was a
Bound man. I have been at work now for twa weeks
and have had no return of the Chills or Fever what
