Bpeeck of Han. Joseph Casey, of P-.
lo the House of Representatives, Monday,
Au. 12, 1850, on the Protective Policy
and the Iron and Coal interest of Penn
y Ivania.
The House being in Committee of the
Whole on the Stale of th" Union.and hav.
ing under consideratio" tbe Civil and Dip
lomatic ppropriatioo Bill, Mr. Carey said:
Mr. Chairman As it appears to be the
determination to consume the time allotted
to the discussion of this general appropriation-
bill on other subjects than the bill
itself, Bfld as there are same subjects of
very great importance to the State of Penn
sylvania, a district of which I have the
hsnor to rey resent, which have received
but very little attentiou during this ses
sion, 1 propose to occupy a few moments
in bringing them to the notice of this com
mittee. 1 wish it to be understood that I
have nothing on this occasion to say in re
latioo to the Texas boundary in particular,
or Negro-ology in general. My constitu
ents know my opinions on those subjects,
and what will be my course and my vote
on those questions. These subjects, sir,
are, the policy and necessity of sustaining
and protecting the home labor and indus
try of our own country. And in the prop,
cr determination of the questions they in
volve, the people of my Sime have a deep
er interest than in any oilier : nap, I may
add, than in all others that heve engaged
the attention or agitated the minds f the
people of thrs country for vear pnst.
I might not, and probably would not,
have troubled this House with any remarks
at this time, but for certain sentiments
which had fallen from an honorable gen
tleman from my own State, occupying a
seat in the other wing of this Capitol, that
the depression of the iron trade of Pennsjl
vania is occasioned by ever production.
and not from the blighting influence of the
tariff ol 1846. And as they may, and
doubtless will be made the basis for repre
sentations injuriously aflccting a favorable
determination of this question, I propose to
present some facts and figures, that the
country may know what reliance to place
upon general sweeping declarations of this
kind. I need not tell this House that
Pennsylvania has always been deeply in
terested in, and ardently detotrd to this
policy ; a policy which has scarcely ever
been mentioned in (Ins Hall during the
present session, w t'huut exciting a sneer
or contemptuous remark from some grntta
man on the Democratic side of the cham
ber. For my own part, I intend to speak
luy sentiments fnely on this great ques
tion ; and shall give to it, in every shape
and form, my constant and devoted sup
port.to the full extent of my humble ability.
The course of events which led to the
repeal of the tariff of 1812, must still Le
fresh in the recollection of every one who
participated in the campaign of IP 4.
Every gentleman here knows that the
State of Pennsylvania was carried for Mr.
Pclk by representations mada to the people
that he was ia.favor of the protective poli
cy. The memorable "Kane letterVhich
at the North was asserted to be a pledge
in favor of the tariff of 1842, and in the
South a declaration of free trade princi
ples, was the first card played in this game
of deception. The whole Democratic
press of the State, with a single exception,
came out boldly in favor of the tariff of
1842 ; and not only asserted that that tar
iff was safe in the hands of Mr- Polk and
bit party, but mu- h more so than it would
be even in tin hinds of Mr. Clay himself
that Mr. Polk and his party wero more
devoted to thn great American system than
even its groatest and most ancient cham
pion. And Mr. Polk's near neighbor in
formed the editoj of the leading Democrat
ic journal of our State, at the Baltimore
Convention, that he (Mr. P.) was the es
pecial friend of the iron and coal interests
of Pennsylvania. These statements were
uttered in confident and bold tones hy the
entire Democratic press. They were re
iterated and reasserted by every Demo
cratic orator. At the head of every Dem'
ocratic procession, and flaunting en the
breeze from every hickory pole in the
Sute.was the banner inscribed tth"PoLK,
Dallas, and the Tabiff of 1812." And
such, sir. was the unblushing extent to
which this systen of fraud and deception
was carried, that at the head of a Demo
cratic county procession in the county in
which I reside was a banner with the fore
going motto, with the addition, in large
flaring characters, He dare the Uhigt
to repeal it.
It was further asserted, that that tariff
was a Democratic measure, and carried
and passed by Democratic votes. Facts
were perverted, records mutilated, and no
devico which the ingenuity of ninn could
suggest was left untried, to deceive and to
gull the honest, confiding, and patriotic
ycrminryof my Slate. Mr. Buchanan,
long known as Pennsylvania's favorite son,
wss induced to throw the weight of his
character and ability into the same scale,
and, as is well known, perambulated the
isla'e very shortly br fora tee election, con
firming all those statements to which I
have before el uded, and asserting, from
his personal knowledge of the characters
and nosiiions of Mr.. Clay and Mr. Polk,
with both of whym he had long served in
Congreos, that the tariff of 1842 was safer
in the hand of Mir. Polk than those of Mr.
Clay. Mr. B:ichanan had long occupied a
high position in the party and the country,
abd it hut natural ilat individuals thus
knowing biro should be disposed to trust
his honor, and believe his word, even tbo'
against their own convictions.
And at this poluV I desire to make a
word of reply to my honorable friend of
Kentucky, (Mr. McLean, who remarked,
in reference to this state of facts, that the
people of Pennsylvania must at least have
been easily duped. Now, 1 must answer
that gentleman, that 1 believe the people
of Pennsylvania are quite as intelligent and
as well informed on political subjects as he
will find an industrious working commu
nity anywhere ; and being honest and pa
triotib themselves, they are unsuspecting
and confiding in regard to others. But
suppose Mr. Clay were to go through
Kentucky and make a clear and decided
statement, of his own personal knowledge,
in relation to the public men or public pol
icy of this country, and that, ton, sustained
by the united and unanimous voice of the
Whig press of the State: I put it to his
candor to say whether the Whig party
would not believe him, and rely implicitly
upon his word, and act upon il.too ? This,
sir, is a parallel case.
Mr. Mo LEAN, of Kentucky, (Mr. Ca-t-t.r
yielding.) wished to ask the gentleman
from Pennsylvania whether he meant that
if Mr. Clay had gone through the State ol
Kentucky and stated that Mr. Polk was a
be::er tariff man than himself, there would
have bteu found any person credulous
enough to believe it ?
Mi. Casey resumed. I will answer the
gentleman frankly, that I do mean even to
go so far as that. I have not a great deal
of knowledge of the people of Kentucky,
yet my idea always has been, and is yet,
th it at least so far as the Whig party of
K mucky is concerned, to use a very com
moil and homely illustration of extreme
crtdul'ty, that if Mr. Clay were to tell them
thaf'the moon was made of green cheese,''
they would believe it. And if he were ve
ry positive, and would assert thai he had
been there and knew it of his own personal
inspection, I do not know but I might hesi
tate a little before I would entirely discredit
it my
The gentleman from New York, on my
left, Mr. Matteson.J inquires whether the
people anywhere else were thus deceived 1
I must answer him that I do not recollect
of any other except his own State, where
the same devices were practiced, and, as
the sequel shows, with the same result.
Mr. Clay was defeated Mr. Polk was
elected Now, sir, let us see how these
promises and expectiona were fulfilled. The
very first i fficial act was to administer the
duties of the Treasury Department, to ma
nage the fiscal concerns of the Government,
a man who was well known to he an ultra
free-trader to the bitter end." I intend
no disrepect to Mr. Walker, and entertain
for him, personally, the utmost respect ;
and I do not suppose that be will consider
it any reproach to say that he was a free
trade man, from the crown of his head to
the soles ol his feet, Tlie first movement
made hy that gentleman, after he was in
ducted into flier, was an onslaught upon i
the protective system. He immediately I
issued a circular address (or the purpose of
preparing the people for, and reconciling
them to, the breaking down of this favorite
system, whhh had raised, in a few years,
the business of the country to a higher de
gree of prosperity than it had ever before
known. That onslaught was made. Ev
ery effort which power, patronage, and
misrepresentation could bring to its aid
was invoked, and, I am sorry to say, that
these appliances succeeded. And through
the influence of power and party, the inr.fi"
of 1842 was repealed. And I regret to
say .that that disastrous result was attained
through the irachery of one of Pennsyl
vania's own sons. And how was it, sir,
that the great interests of our State was be
trayed ? I have already said thnt this pro
tective policy, and the Tariff of 1842, were
claimed as Democratic measures in 1844 ;
hut when the. hour arrives when the sincer
ity of the-e professions is to be tested
when the question of the tariff is to be set
tled hen the casting vote is to be given,
where do we find George M. Dallas ? Sir,
I nlush to say it, that in the face of the
pleges of his party, ia direct opposition to
the principles he had himself avowed, be
betrayed and deceived the people, the gen
erous, confiding, and patriotic people of his
own Slatp, and himself, when it was fully
in his power to save it, gave the death blow
to the Tariff of 1842. These, sir, are
plain, yet nevertheless stubborn, incontro
vertible facts, proved and sustained by the
history and records of our common country.
The statement to which I promised lo
call the atti ti'i-nofthiseommittee,as made
by an honorable Senator in the other end
of the Capital, related to the cause of the
depression of the iron and coal ihterests ol
Pennsylvania ; and I intend to confine my
self to tliee, leaving to others, who I know
are fully able, as I doubt not they will be
equally ready, to stand up for the great
woollen and cotton interests of the country.
When the honorable Senator from
Pennsylvania Mr. Cooper presented a
large number of memorials from citizens
of that State, representing the prostrate
and ruinous condition of business there,
and asking of the Congress of the United
S'ates to take their case into consideration.
this request, so reasonable and just in it
self, was no sooner made than be was eon
fronted by his Democratic colleague Mr.
Sturgeon the assertion, thai all the i
I.EWISBURG CHRONICLK AND WEST BRANCH FARMER
depression which existed in the iron and
coal trade of Pennsylvania was properly
attributable,not to the blighting and ruinous
influence of the Tariff of 1846, but to the
over production of these articles. And
that the iron business in western Pennsyl
vania was in prosperous condition, and
more made there now than ever. Sir, 1
doubt not that the Senator who introduced
these memorials will fully vindicate and
substantiate the positions he has taken, and
that he will perform that task much more
ably than 1 can, but I choose to call the
attention of my constituents and the people
of my State,, without distinction of party,
to this extraordinary course taken by their
Democratic Senator, and to show, too, how
all the promises and professions ihey have
made upon this subject hitherto .are now,
in the day of trial and of disaster, ruthless
ly disregarded, and a betrayed, a suffering,
and a crushed people left to strufigle with
their unhappy fate as best they may. Such
statements, betray either utter ignorance
of the subject, or gross misrepresentation
of the facts, either of which ia unpardon
able. Mr. Richardson called Mr. Casey to
order for alluding to what was said by a
Senator in debate.
The chairman Mr. Burt sustained the
point of order.
Mr. Chandler movedjihat Mr. Casey be
permitted to proceed in order.
Mr. Casey resumed. I know Demo
cratic gentlemen are tender-footed on this
subject, and having said what I intended
about this Senator, I shall turn him over
to thejpeople of my State and to their judg
meat upon his course.

Slave Blot at Hanisburg.
IlAaisarito, Aug. 24
The hearing of an habeas corpus case
of three negroes, brought on a charge
of horse stealing, occupied the at
lenibn of the Court the entire day, ar d a
decision wasrendcred this morning. It
appeared on evidence that the negroes were
runaway slaves, who stole the horses to
effect their escape w ith. The Couit deci
ded this morning that the stealing of a horse
by a slavoto make his escape with, wa
not a criminal offence, and ordered that
the prisoners be dischajged. About a doz
en men from Winchester, Va., assem
bled in front of the prison, where a large
number of whites and blacks of this place
had previously assembled. On the negroes
being released, the Virginians attempted to
arrest and handcuff them, when a general
riot ensued. Oue of the slaves effected
his escape, pelted with stones and clubs.
The other two their masters and friends
succeeded in arresting and handcuffing des
nite the desperate resistance made by ;the
I -
by slanders.
Several negroes were'slabbed and other
wise wounded. The owners of the slaves
were slightly injured. The court imme
diatelv issued warrants for the arrest of
the owners and all engaged in the affray,
on the charge of assault and battery, with
intent to incite a riot. The Virginians
were brought before the Court, and were
held to bail iu the sum of 500, each, with
responsible citizens of Pennsylvania as
their sureties, fur their appearance at the
October court to answer the charge. The
slaves, in the mean time, will be retained
n custody.
The Judge took occasion to remark
that these men had an undoubted right to
take their property if they fonnil it in Penn
sylvania, but his object was to give both
parties a chanre,and, according to his view
ihey were not out of the custody of the
Court at the time the attack was made
upon them ; that, although the State of
Virginia might allow brute lorce in lashing
slaves, Pennsylvania recognized the col
ored man as a human being, and ih -y had
no right lo commit an assault and battery
on any person in order to coerce them lo
go with them ; it they did, they committed
a crime strains! the laws of Pennsylvania,
and should be dealt with accordingly.
The court also ordered a posse to be im
mediately employed to disperse, at all haz
ard, the mob assembled in front of the
jail, which they succeeded in doing with
out much resistance.
The Carlisle Democrat is making dis
closures that are calculated to deeply im
plicate those who have assailed Mr. Hub
ley's supporters, in relation to the effort
made to bribe delegates at th Williams
port Convention, by Mr. Ovenshine. That
paper turns the tables aud charges bribery
direct upon Canal Commissioner Painter,
and by implication upon the Harrisburg
Keystone. The Demouat, has several ar
ticles upon the subject, all of which show
signs of a determination lo probe the mat
ter to the bottom ; the Philadelphia Times
calls upon the frienns ol Mr. Painter to
meet lh charge at once. As we published
a synopsis of the Ovenshine case, we think
it no more than right to publish the follow
ing affidavit also.

May last, did depose and ssy, that Israel

of Pennsylvania, had offered each of Mid

A subscriber writing 'to us on business,
holds the following language :
"I receive the Chronicle regularly, and
often find much amusement in reading it.
I Lave several times remarked that the
humorous selections are very good, and I
make it a point to read all the anecdotes.
Uy the way, my son, now 17 months old,
evinces a particular partiality for the
Chronicle, having derourtd several num
bers with great avidity. Whether he di
gested them or not be has not yet informed
me, for although quite fluent he as yet
speaks in an unknown tongue !"
There, if anybody doubts the merits of
our humble sheet, let them read the above
testimony and then for ever hold their
peace. We shall keep an eye on that
young chap, for if he can already dispose
of such choice mental food as the Chroni
cle, bis geuius will yet startle the world
with its transcendant brilliancy. It is even
possible that he may ultimately reach the
giddy elevation of an Editor's chair. Who

Burial Customs.
The established habits of a community,
whether commendable or otherwise, are,
in general, not easily modified or reversed.
Time and changing circumstances, howev
er, sometimes gradually undermine the
force of ancient customs, that arc observed
merely from habit, or because our fathers
held to them ; and the community by de
grees, and quietly, but nonetheless surely,
becomes averse to their continuance, al
though but little may have been said to
developc the common feeling on the sub
ject and they would in many cases be
at onec abandoned, if the latent senti
ments of the people found public expres
sion, so as to ensure concert of action.
Unless we greatly mistake the indications
of public opinion which occasionally find
their way to the surface, this is probably
the case now, in this neighborhood, with
regard to the manner in which some of the
funeral ceremonies of our times are con
ducted. There are no rites more sacred than
those which are paid to the dead. They
arc rendered obligatory alike by the promp
tings of affection, and the requirements of
duty. The memory of the departed should
be properly honored, and their mortal re
mains be guarded with thoughtful vigi
lance, and consigned to the dust with rev
erence and solemnity. How imperfectly
these duties arc sometimes performed is
evidenced by the manner in which 'wakes'
are often conducted. Instead of having
a couple of prudent, discreet persons to
keep watch near the remains during the
night before burial, or securely locking the
body in a room by itself, it frequently
happens that a party of young persons of
both sexes is gathered in, who too often
forget, in the buoyancy of health and
youth, the nature of the services they are
rendering, and the propriety of behavior
which is especially due upon such a
mournful recension. And, aa a natural
consequence, the quiet and sanctity of the
death chamber ia invaded, and the repose
of the wearied and afflicted relatives dis
turbed by the ill-timed mirth and levity
that comes to their ears in the stillness of
midnight, and grates harshly upon their
wounded sensibilities. If these breaches
of good manners, these unwarrantable vio
lations of the decencies of life, and the
social laws which ought to prevail in
Christian com niunitics,can not be reformed,
ought not such attendants to be superse
ded, and their services entirely dispensed
with ? Or if watchers are preferred, se
lect such persons as will not be likely to
forget what is due to themselves and their
sorrowing neighbors, when in the presence
of the serene and awful majesty of death.
Another custom occurs to us in this
connection, which in the opinion of many
would, as a general rule, be more honored
in the breach than in the observance. We
refer to the larjre entertainments which are
provided at funerals, and which, not from
necessity but maiuly from the force of
imperious custom, convert the house of
mourning into a house of feasting. In
either town or country when friends and
relatives come from a distance, there is
some reason for the practice ; but when it
is indiscriminately observed, without ref
erence to the circumstances of each parti
cular case, Imt is resortcdito merely from
a regard to ceremony, and because it is
fashionable, it is frequently a source of
much inconvenience and discomfort, and
the sooner it ia dispensed with the better.
With families who possess abundant means,
it is ajmere matter f isetcBut in this
republican country, where cvcry body
claims the right to do just as others do,
whether they can afford it or not, and arc
more apt to be guided by the example of
their neighbors than their own judgment,
expenses are thus incurred, and sacrifices
made, that are aftcrwards,"if not at the
time, fult to be unsuitable and injurious.
Pride, and indeed a becoming self-respect,
is slow to admit these things; and many
persons yield to the demands of arbitrary
custom, because they have not the cour
age to aet independently, and follow the
dictates of prudence, and genuine propri
ety. Is it unreasonable to expect that
such arbitrary customs should be broken
in upon, and public opinion invoked to
justify and sustain arrangements of a more
suitable and common-scn.se character.
When a bereaved family has been worn
out by long nursing, and protracted watch
ing by the bed of the sick and the dying,
and their hearts areopprcssed with the
calamity which has befallen them, there
is something incongruous in the noise and
bustle and confusion of preparing and
serving up a feast for a promiscuous crowd,
and, we should suppose, would be but lit
tle calculated to soothe their sorrows, and
mitigate the anguishjof bereavement.
Storm Scene.
This season has been remarkable for
excessive heat, and frequent and heavy
thunder storms. These atmospherical phe
nomena are always interesting, and some
times peculiarly so; depending a good deal,
perhaps, upon the mood of the observer.
One very hot day, a week or two ago,
we sought relief from the oppressive wea
ther on a shady eminence, out of town,
commanding a fine westwardly view of our
beautiful valley, and the bold mouutains
which mark its limits. The sky at first
wxs cloudless, and field and forest reposed
iu fervid htillness under the rays of a tor
rid sun. Towards noon, however, the ex
cessive heat, acting upou the Espy theory,
began to heave up huge thunder-clouds ;
piling them away up towards mid-heaven
in Alpine magnificence, evolving fold after
fold with boundless prodigality, till tlie
snowy masses seemed to pillar the skies-
the summits blazing all the while in the
vertical sun-light with blinding, indescri
bable effulgence, while each level base
was gathering a sullen blackness, ominous
asimpendingdoom. The scattered sentinels
of the squadron gradually united with the
central column, and the storm-cloud, rest
ing each wing upon the crest of a moun
tain ridge, moved slowly down the valley,
brooding gloomily as if girding its utmost
energies to crush the cowering earth.
As its muttcringa sounded nearer, a
bald eagle, scared from his eyrie, suddenly
appeared midway of the cloud, and breast
ing the storm with tireless wing, swept
majestically to and fro, far along its ad
vancing front, as if in proud defiance his
wild scream falling momently on our ear
like a monarch's call to the rescue. The
noble bird maintained his position till the
storm burst in full fury, and compelled
him to rise to the upper air beyond its
power, where he rapidly vanished from
our admiring gase. The play of the ele
ments soon began in tight good earnest ;
and, between rain, lightning, crashing
thunder, and rocking forests, the storm-
spirit's lullaby was kept up for more than
an hour, in terrific, yet glorious style.
In scenes like this, how the cribbed and
confined spirit within us, claiming its her
itage of freedom, trill strain take a caged
eagle, to leap forth and join the waning
elements in their sublime revelry, so wild
and free !
