ing extracts, on the principle of one term, we
take from the speech of judge Woodward, in the
reform convention. Wc trust he and his friends
will endeavor to carry them out at the next
election for (iovemor :
"Mr. Woodward said be was desirious tin'
amendment should be adopted, as it would se
cure the fidelity of the executive officer It
would relieve the governor from the necessity
of directing the main measures of his administra
tion to his own continuance in office. He did
not mean to say that any governor bad ever so
prostituted his wcr. as to have used it to effect
his re election.
The veto power, the patronage power, i fact,
all the vaiious ;owers. with which the constitu
tion clo'hes that olficer, might be employed,
m..ie with a view to his re-election to the office
of governor, for a second or third teim, than for
Ihe substantial benefit and good pf the people of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania He (Mr.
W.) was oppo-eil to all these temptations; ami
his b-lief was that ihe olfice would be more dig
nified. more elevated, more worthy to be filled
by the best men in the State, if divested of all
those tin iimstances and inducements, which
might be taken advantage of by a eon upt man,
to procure his re-election If we made a man
eligible to the olfice of govei nor, for one term,
he would have no limine lo influence his con
duct, but that of the public good. He would not
piostilule the veto power, the appointing power,
nor any of Die other powers which are given to
him by Ihe constituting ll would not then be
tempted tii exercise them with aview to effect
. his own re-eleciion, as be might now do, anil
, which the history of Pennsylvania, showed had
been done. This, then, was the ground on w hic h
' he based his amendment.
And, another reason, which weighed with
some force on bis mind. was. that a sinele term
would place Ihe individual above the debasing
influence- that too nejily asseciated with the

adopted :
The Democracy of Pennsylvania, since the a
iloption of the constitution ol the t'ninn to the
present, have been in favor of protecting, by
means of their rwenuu lawn, home indiistiv
and domestic products nuint foreign lubor and
foreign products. The
loctiine of the )e:,v
er.itie pai ty has ben concisely stateii to be "a
Tii i i IT lor revenue eipial to the wants ol the (iov
eminent economical! y administered. with nchdis
eliminating tluties as to nlfoul incidental prnti e
t'o i to linme imhiitiy and domestic productions "
This doeti'tie has hitheito received the Siinctioii
ol" the Democratic Piesidents and every Derno-
cratic Connie-? which has ever acted upon the
subject. The Democracy of Penn-ylvania, al
ways distinguished for their firm adherence to
the great principles of the patty, have cheri-h-ed,
with peculiar jealousy, the doctrine of pro
tection for it has given energy and pro-peiity
to their immediate neinl nnd political svstem.
It may be confidently asserted that, the Dem
ocratic party of this state would never have giv
en her elecloial vote to a candidate fur the Presi.
delicy who had candidly avowed that, in the
went of his election, he w ould in the administra
tion of the (;overnoieiit be -waved by a policy
ho-tile to her social intere-N Thi- determina
tion was Well known i!iii ing the la.-t I 'i esident in!
canvas, and '.nnllnv the leai then expre-'ed,
James K. Polk. on the 1 U ol Jane, decla
red in a letter to fohil K. Kane, ' that in adju-t-ii'i;
a Taii.Tl'nr revenue, I have heretofore sane
1 tinned such iiiinli-i.it e ilsrruniwi! itii; duties as
would produce the amount uf revenue needed.
and at the same time uli'.ir.l ica-otiable iucid. nta!
prty.trl.un to our home industry. "
"In my judgment, it is the '' nf (oiveinment
to extend, as far as it may b- pi.ictimble to do
so, by its revenue l aws and all other means with- '
in its power, fair nnd just jirntrrtion to all the
great interests of the whole I'liioii." Not onlv
the policy, but the cu.'y. of prn!rc!t"it is here dis-
i tinctly declared, and upon such nssuiances the
democracy relied with confidence.
The annual message of President Polk to con
gress was. therefore, received with chagrin nnd
astonishment. It avowed doctrines in direct
opposition to those published in his litter to Mr.
Kane. It counselled a policy which, if carried
out by congress, would strike dow n '-home in
dustry and take away nil protection from our
domestic piodncts. It wns still hoped, however,
that the practical wisdom of congress would
triumph over the uutiied theory of the Presi
dent ; but the pnssnep of Mr. McKay's bill thto'
i the Hou-e of Representatives has well nigh ex-
tingiiished this last le.pe its faint lay rests
Upon the Senate. Tolli i Senate, then, in the
exercise of the right of Democratic Freemen, we
solemnly prnte-1 ag,iin-t the pa-sage of this in
iquitous and destiuctive lull. Therefore.
Ursolvnl, That the TarilT Poll which has re
cently passed through the House of Repre-enta-lives
of Congress, aband uis the settled policy of
discriminating for protection, and adopts the wvie
theory nf discriminating for revenue alone that
it will pro-trate our domestic manufactures and
home industry subjec t the proline's of the coun
try to ruinous foreign competition, and destroy
the home marke! of our agriculturalist, which
Pennsylvania farmers know is the best mat ket
the woi Id has ever yet afT.ird.-d to them.
Il-ntlrtil That the ml rtilnnm duties imposed
by this bill on coal and iron, will be entirely in
iideciiate to protect these great staples of thin
state foreign coal will take the place of the do
mestic article in our eastern ports our furnaces
must ' blow out," and we be rendered tribitfnrv
to (ireat liritain for iron, "the great necessary
of life" our vast mineral resources must, hence
i forth, lie buried in our soil, and the busy pnpula-
tinn f our mineral districts be driven from home
in search of labor.
7i'rWr, 1 hat this bill will inflict a fatal blow
"l,on ,t"' '"t'fests and prosperity of the Keystone
state that there is nothing in the piesent situa
tion or prospective relations of Ihe country,
which calls for such a total change in the policy
of the government and the depiocracy of Penn

II. II. M-siii, I'.-u Dun Sir: As the
new thrill' hdl is the subject of much cumment
throughout the country at this tune, and parli
cu'urly in your own stair, whose interests are
so closely idee.t.fied withthe protective wi'iey,
it sei ins to .ne an appi.ipr ate occasion to make
a l'i w remarks upon Hie subject.
As fnr as the lower branch of ( 'empress is c n
eeriiei1, the late nf the new hill has bei n deci
ded, not, however, without a just nnd deter
milled resistance on the purl of the delegation
from Pennsylvania. With a solitary exception
--Ilml nf Wilmot from the Ilrndliird di-lricf,
ihe ilidepaticvi nave il a firm r.oil decided op.
poMtiiui, proving themselves, as they have al
ways been considered, true friends tn such a
tarill' as w ill aflord ample protection to all the
Steal interests of the state.
All eyes are now naturally inclined In 'hrnk
to the Senate,' tor the preservation of the tariff
ot '-l! finer the House has decided in favor of
Mr. McKays hill. The stale of parties in the
Somite, upon this preat measure, it j pretty
well known, is eipially divided 0 lo "J"-
which will, consequently, throw the deejilinir
vote in the bunds' of the Hon. O M, DiPas. nn.
less the preat Missourian, tho Ibm. Thomas II.
Hentnn, who has alwnvs been an advocate of
specific duties, and fair and ripnt ible protection
to all American interests, pivrs it his opposition.
You will perceive that all depends upon one or
the other of the above named jjenlleman. That
the new bill if left in Ihe bands nf Mr. Pallas,
will become ihe law of the hmd, I am perfectly
satisfied, and that he is willinjj, if the contin
pency occurs Muded lc, In aid in sarrificinp
Ihe means by which Pennsylvania has just com
inenced prospering:, attaining a position w hich
would be riivird her by the preairst id her
sister states, I am none the less convinced of.
It is useless ami idle for any one lo indulpe in
the delusive hope (hit Mr. Pallas will stand
by Pennsylvania in this crisis. He never will
do it. llm vole, it ropi'ircd to be pivrn, vj-ill
be recorded in favor cd Mr. M?Kiy. bill, thus
disregarding the expectations of the people ol
his own slate. Wero he to consult Ihe w ishes
Ihe interests (he public credit nf Ihe state,
ihe pro-perily of its citizen--, and the (level
npnunl of its immense resources, why none
could doubt how his vote w ould be cast.
Pennsylvania must look to another person
besides Mr. piillaa fnr the defeat of thin bill.
Hon. Thomas II. Kenton, who, as I noticed
- ! bove. is in favcr of spec lie duties and fair
ef 1 ' cut protection, is the person lo whom
i he must now appeal for upport. Hin states
