WsSnVnOTOR, Jul 23. .
Mr, CAMERON of Pa. presented i fluihW
of petitions nnd memorials from hi Stste.remon
Mirat mjt against repeal of Ilia Tariff of 1M3.
Mr. C. mvc1 their referent to the Committee
on Printing. '. "" '. ; ' '.; " " '.'.'. i ': ' 'U , " . ,'' '
Mr, KVIER Mid we had a tort of panic here
every morning about thia tariff business a aort
I funeral dirge of tbote pensioners at taking e
way 1he bounty we have'allowed. them'.' Mr1.
S. then alluded to the charge to often made thai
Pennsylvania bad been deceived in the views of
the President in relation to the tariff, and aaid m '
man who could read hut knew that Mr- Pol
whs a good free-trade man. Notwithstanding
all that had been aaid, Mr. S. declared his belief
that Pennsylvania, to-morrow, would vote the j
Democratic ticket again.
Mr. CAMERON replied and defended Pennsyl
vania with great spirit. Pennsylvania, he said 1
was no pensioner ; she asked no favors from the '
yovernment she asked only to be let alone.' Ar-1
It nrin had many bills now before the Senate j
granting her favors. v :!:,'
The Senator from Aikansss had spoken of the
coincidence of opinion between the Senator from
Mass. (Mr. Webster) and himself (Mr. C ) ' -
He knew of another remarkable coincidence
a coincidence batween the Senator from . .Mass. ;
and the Senator from Arkansas biuisejf.,., Only
a short time ago they were together on a much
more important question a question in which
the dismemberment of our country was involved
and in the settlement of which a portion of our
territory had been surrendered.
Mr. SEVIER To what does the Senator al
lude? Mr. CAMERON. To the Oreeon question, on
which the Senator from Arkansas voted to give
away a part of our territory.' Mr C then went
on to defend the laboring people of Pennsylvania
who, he said, were freemen and dared proclaim
their sentiments standing erect before their God.
They were no slaves to any man, and were not
to be brought in comparison with the slave-labor
of the South.
Mr. JARNAGIN inquired of the Senator
from Arkansas what interpretation he put upon
the Kane letter T
Mr. SEVIER replied that he thought it a Vtry
good free trade letter !
Mr. STURGEON said that while it was very
true that the Tariffof 1842 entered into the ran
vass of 1814 in Pennsylvania, yet it was not the
only question involved in the contest,' and he
must protest against the opinion, which had been
expressed, that the election in Pennsylvania turn'
ed upon the Tariff. '
Mr. SPEIGHT wished to put an end to the
discussion, and moved to lay the memorial upon
the table. Motion lost. Yeas 21, nays 25.
Mr J. M. CLAYTON asked the Senator from
Pa. whether he believed that Pa. would have vo
tod for Mr. Polk if he bad been known to be in fa
vor of such bill as that now before the Senate ?
Mr. STURGEON said he could i.ot tell what
she would have done. The vote of Pennsylvania
was very large, some 9 or 400, 000, and it would j
be difficult to say by what special influences so
rr.any people were moved.
Mr. J. M. CLAYTON explained that he did
not ask the Senator what Pennsylvania would
nave done he merely asked him for an opinion.
Tr. STURGEON declined answering.
Mr. CLAYTON said the Senator declined ans
weringhe dare not venture to give eocb an o
piuion. But he, (Mr. C ) wished it to be known
throughout the length and breadth of Pennsylva
nia that her petitions sgainst the destruction (bat
was threatened to ' her interests was considered
a mere joke on the part of the Senator from Ar
kansas and others on his side of the Chamber
that Pennsylvania if she possessed any intelli
gence must have known that Mr. Polk was a
free trade man and that she would to-morrow
vote the democratic ticket and the destruction of
the tariff! Such were the declarations of the
Senator from Arkansas, and he wanted Pennsyl
vania to know it.
Mr. C. then proceeded to comment upon the
fraud which bad been practiced npon Pennsylva
nia by the Kane letter, and the representations
of her politicians, when Mr. ALLEN called him
t.-i order, lie thought this whole discussion out
f arder. ''
The PRESIDENT decided that Mr. Clayton
was in order. ...'.--,,
.. Mr. CLAYTON then pursued his remarks,
and wbea he had concluded. . . , .
Mi. McDUFFIE moved again to lay the peti
linns upon the table.
The yeas and nays were ordered, and the Sen
ate refused to lay upon the table, yeas 23, nays
I he reference ro im committee on I'rinting
was then ordered.
Mr. ATHKRTON, from the Committee on
piinting reported against printing the memorials
n the subject of the Tariff which had been re
ferred to that Committee. .,
( The Senate refused to concur in the report,
yeas 23, nays 23 the Vice President giving the
casting vote in the negative.

(Correspondence of tbe Publhs Ledger. v
WASHIWDtONJuly 20, 1040. I,
Among the rumors afloat here to-day, uv on
that an effort will be made in the Senate, to
morrow, to postpone the final vote on the new
Tariff Bill until Thursday nest, to allow time
for the successor of Mr, Haywood to reach Wash
ington. Rumor also states this successor to be
Mr. Stanley, formerly a 'member of Congress,
and at present President of the North Carolina
Senate,v.J place no confidence in these, rumors.
The uovernor cannot appoint ine successor oi
Mr Haywood without consulting his Council, who
reside in-different: parts of the State, and -could
not be. got together in season to enable the new
Senator to reach Washington by the time speci
fied. . Mr. Stanley is a Whig, and of course would
vote with the Whigs oq this question, hence the
rumors to which I have referred of, an intention
to postpone if possible.',' ' ' . ' ' ' ,., , ,
Opinions continue to be divided as to the fate
of the lilt. Some of the free-trade Democrats
express the belief that it' will be defeated, and
even the rh'ron talks desponding! y and censure's
the course of Mr '.'Hay wood. Others,' again, are
very confident that the bill will pass, notwith
standing the "'treachery," as it is termed, of Mr.
II. His resignation may be calculated to delay
the final vote ol the Senate, but what that vote
wilt be no one can fortell.' The prevailing im
pression certainly is. to-day, that the bill : Will
be defeated, , ...... .; . , ..
Mr, Jarnagin, it is understood,, had yesterday
his resignation uritten, but was induced to a-
bandon his intention of, forwarding it to the
Governor of Tennessee. There appears to be
no doub'tbat he will vote for , the bill without
amendment, if a direct vote be taken theieon at
the present session."' ' '
The immediate cause of the resignation of Mr.
Haywood is understood to have been the1 notice
given by Mr. Webster of his intention to move
a postponement ontll the next session. "This, or
a similar motion, it is said, Mr. Haywood had
designer) to make;' and it would have too much
the appearance of following in the Whig wake
to vote in favor of such a movement, of which
he was not himself the author. ' '
' Doubts are expressed as to the cSurse of Mr.
Benton ; but I think there is no reason to doubt
that both be and Mr, Dix will vote .for the bill
without amendment, should the rote be-take at
the present session. How they will vote on the
question of postponement is not so certain, j .,;
Mr. Webster then proceeded to discuss the ta
riff bill at length, and (Is discriminating against
American manufacture. ' ' ' ' '
' But he would proceed to article ' of more Im
portance, though he would leave the great wool
len and cot tod manufactories to the judgment
of the Senate. ' Not that there is one bouse in
New England which does not feet an Intense in
terest in this question ; and this interest extends
to all claims there is not a woman or child who
lies down at night or i ises up in the morning,'
without inquiring the progress of this measure at
Washington. utof these interests he wouM
not trust himself to speak. New England would
sustain herself, independent of tariffs. "' ' "
It was the Iron interests of which he proposed
to speak.' ' He placed no ronrVfouee in rumors of
compromise for the benefit of Pennsylvania, ' for
ha could not' believe that Pennsylvania,' In a
great measure effecting the interests of the whole
country, was going to take a toss for herself and
turn her back on her friends. The. duty by the
tariff of '42 is $23 per, ton on plain bar Iron-by
the present duty it would be $12 ."0 per Ion a
reduction of one-half., In the bill, there is one
general assessment of duties on Iron.
The manufacturers below bar iron are no more
protected than the raw material, down to pen
knives and the finest articles. The laborer, there
fore, lias no more protection than the raw mate
rial in the mountains. He never knew an in
stance of the kiud where the same duties are
placed upon the raw material of iron and the ar
tides manufactured from 'Iron. In the law of
'42 the duties are specific, and go through the
whole series of articles with an evident intent to
discriminate in favor of American labor the
augmentation of protection as the process of man
nfaetiire goes on. In Pennsylvania alone there
are 318 furnaces and rolling mills, employing
a capital of 120,000,000 and the annual product
of them is 924,000,000. There baa been an in
crease on the product of tho old furnaces since
the passage of the act of '49, of 37,000 ton, and
of the new lurnaees, of 210,000 tons; and the
amount of capital invested in new farnace since
the passage of that act has been IS, 100,400. Peon
sy Ivania cannot however, stand competition un
der the provisions of this bill. This be demon
strated by a aerie of fact, estimate and calcu
latinos. They might just as well put. the duty
at 5 per cent, as at 30 per cent,, so far a the
question of protection is involved. Ia the arti
cle of coal the quantity mined bad increased 330,-
000 tons during the three year the tariff of '42
had been in operation, and the price had decrcas
ed from $3,30 to 13.30 per ton. This was the
effect produced by confidence in the permanency
of that act ; and there were pot less than 130,
000,000 Invested in coal mining-, and in worka
for facilitating the transportation of coal and
of iron Pennsylvania. He estimated that a ton oi
Nova Scotia coat, at the duty proposed, could be
delivered in Boston at a profit of $1,03. The
present duty i l,33 per ton, and tb proposed
duty would be about 43 cents per ton a reduc
lion which th coal miners of Pennsylvania can
not stand. , The w hole amount of capital invest
ad in public improvements east of the mountain
ia Pennsylvania, was staled at mor than S130,

07 Thvcditof of the Ssnbury Garctte, is hie

ceurss on th tariff, Exhibits the- usual quantum
of ill nature sMtid personar tVee,-wrlfch 'form
no small item In the composition of hi charac
ter. ,Wf hvedmonished hrm before, that tenr-
rinty -Will nr supply the place of argument,
and i alway sire indication of a bad cause,
or a want ol ability to defend it. In regard to
(ne assertion thst We are lio' demderat, we pre
sums the editor would thereby like to have it
understood,- that h jr contradistinction, Wss a
perfect paragon and model of democracy. When
a man iagalways prating about bis own virtues,
he is very apt to bo aipectaV We have no doubt,
however, that Mr. 'Yoangmaa I disposed to be
as good a democrat as be well knows bow, and
conveniently can, under all circumstances, W
believe that ho man .an ! be , a true demo
crat who H not. independents ia hi , views,
and wbo is trammelled by the shackles of power.
Therein consists the difference between the edi
tor of the Gazette and ourselves. We have, howi
ever, tbe satisfaction to know., that in all these
differences, the great majority of our democratic
friend and neighbor have always been with us
, If the Gazette has really repudiated its former
free trade opinions, we er glad o hear it; but it
attempt to make it appear that it ha alway
been opposed to free trade, and that it article,
upon which we commented, did not strongly sa
vor of it, Is only calculated to expose it to lidi
That article did not only create a great deal of
sarpriss as coming from a prnfetntd friend of the
tariff, but was received with indignation by eve
ry friend or that measure. ' We have hot yet
beard a single individual who does not view it in
the same light with ourselves. ' Even tbe Ga
xette's last article, ia defence of itself, smacks so
strongly of the leaven of free trade, that the edi
tor finds it accessary to say to its reader, at tbe
close, that his article ' is not an attack, npon a
protective' tariff.".. Certainly a wis and most
necessary caution, to enable its readers to com
prehend on which aide it really was.
(. .The Gazette takes exception to our statement
thst England takes 30 millions of bushels
wheat. We intended to ssy Europe. Englam!
does not take over 2 millions, which, however
makes the matter still worse. The calculations
of the Gazette, in regard to the price of foreign
wheat, are as visionary and' unfounded as its j
views on the tariff. ' We quote the following
"Mr. Jacob aay that the cost of raising wheat
at Warsaw, and transporting- it to London, i
1.37 perboehelr end thi allow nr profit to
toe farmer.' Allow tbe farmer a profit 'of 10
cont ocr bushel, and thi serf whoot of the Bl,
tic. of which we liesr so much, willcnutat ln-'
don ftl.4 per bwslirl. Thia bi'ipg the fact,
can we not compete with the Baltic! We are
thai while - ibo pauper , labor" of, iho Baltic
cannot produce wheat for less than WJ cent
per bushel, the free and independent farmers ot
Ike weet produce it, at a' profit, at 371 cents per
bushel, the price at which U ia now .willing for
in Ohio. Put the price of wheat at one dollar
at New York. The cont of transportation Irnni
there to England will ho about 12 pence ; hut
put ital one rhilliap,33 cento. "This will make
the price of American wheat io Knpland $l,2
per bushel, nr 25 cenla lower than the Baltic
wheal. We then can not only compete with,
but absolutely undersell the Baltic wheat' '
Tbe idea that wheat from the ports of the Bal
tic,' costing; as the Gazette says, 0 cents, cannot
be sold at London for less thsn $1 47 per bushel,
while wheat from New York, costing $1, can be
sold at London for $123, is st least amusing if
not supremely ridiculous, especially when it is
known that the porta of lb Baltic are much nea
rer London than our own, and the price of trans,
portatio) less. Thus making the expense of de
livering foreich wheat at London CI eente, and
American wheat .2? cents, a difference of 39
cents per bushel. . But the fact U, .wheat in th
Baltic ia often sold at 40 Io 30 cent per busbeL
Tbe editor of th Gazette ha unfortunately cv
phered himself into a'dilemms, and 'as we have
some compassion for bis youth and inexperience,
we must endeavor to extricate him." Mr. Jacob,
the Gazett's authority, ia hi charge oftranspor-
tatien on wheat from the Baltic,' includes th
Britiab daty of about 40 rent per bushel, which
th Gazette unluckily forgot to deduct; while our
wn wheat it at ence put into tb British ports
free ef duty. Deduct this duty, and according
to tb Gazette' own shewing, wheat from Ibe
Baltic cao be sold 14 cents per bushel less than

"In 1826, the British government appointed

obtained from there, and for what price, Stc.
Here is hi report, which I have obtained from
the library, making 2W) pagea. lie svaa not
eel to tbe valley of the Mswisainpi. which we
near ot so mucb., , In 19411, the British eovero
mcnt instructed her consuls in all the msrts of
trsde to report upon the grain trade ; and they
did so. their report making a large bnok, by
which it can be eeen thst other ciuinirie can

he asys ia from $1 12 lo ftl 20 per bushel, says

(America.) except when the demand ia sum
