"Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of 1842." The licmocrati are coming." "The Demoerals are coming. The Democrats are coming, The Democrats are coming. To renew their ancient pledge. We are a band of POLK MEN. We are a baud of POI.K MEN, We are a band nf POLK MEN, We'll sound it through the land. We go for POLK AND DALLAS, With all means that honor hallows, And to combat federal malice, We are eager to engage. We are a band, &e All interests rejarded, PROTECTION fair accorded.

We are a band, etc They were the "Tariff men," undoubted ly opposed to "Blacklegs," "Bankrupts, and "Bank Suspensions" in favor of "Protection" and death on Henry Clay, for whom they now shed crocodile tears, after bunting bim to his grave with a fe rocity which would make a hyena blush ! Well.a dozen jears have rolled around, and notwithstanding tbe Irish Famine, which created an unforeseen demand for our breadstuff, and millions of gold gath ered from California, at laU tbe crash has come, and having destroyed the "Tariff for Protection" they falsely pledged them selves to sustain, "Bank suspensions and Bankruptcies," are again the legitimate fruit of Locofoco mitrule ! i THE STATE DEBT Which Party caused it ? While County and State Elections all have an influence in shaping questions of National policy, there are considerations of great weight, touching State affairs, which should not be overlooked. Our glorious old Commonwealth is like a valuable Farm or Store well manayetl, it produces abuudantly, prospers, and is no burden : but, ladjf managed, it is unproductive, runs in debt and becomes burdensome. The weijht of Taxation under which Ptnntgh'inM gcuant, requires an answer to the question above stated. We reply, by quoting tbe figures from page 33 of the last Official Report, dated Jau. 9, 1857, of II. S. MAUUAW, now for a second Term elected State Treasurer by the Democratic Party : PUBLIC LOANS.

From the above Democratic authority, it is proved that of the Funded Debt of over Forty Millions of Dollars imposed within the last thirty years, less than Half a Million was imposed by the three Opposition Governors... in other words, tlte Democracy imposed One Hundred Dollars of DcU where the Opposition imposed Oue 'Dollar I Which Party has REDUCED this Debt ? This is a very important question. We reply to it, again, by quotations from Official sources, via. IIabmsbubo, August 18, 1S3S. We, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and tbe Auditor General, both of whom are, with the State Treasurer, Commissioners of ihe Internal Improvement Fund of Pennsylvania, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that tbe whole Penntyleauia State Debt, ou which she was liable to repay, was, on the 4tli day of December, 1335, 824,330,003 02 and that it is now, eighteenth of August, 1833 24,230,003 02 THOS. II. BURROWE3, Sec'y of the Com'th. NATH'L P. UOBART, Auditor General. From the Reports of tbe State Treasurers. The public debt, as it stood on the 1st day of December of each year, from 1343 to 1856, both inclusive, is as lolluws, viz : Year 1843 1849 " 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 40,117,885 25 (Pollock.

Gov. Pollock's Administration, under the operation of the Sinking Fund, and by the Sale of the Main Line (which last has been constantly opposed and was bitterly contested to the last, by Packer's friends, and the leading men of tbo Dem ocratic party,) REDUCED THE DEBT OVER TEN MILLIONS) Ol DOLLARS ! aaThe Sale of tbe Main Line under Gov. Pollock, is accompanied by a reduc tion of one half mill on the State Tax, to take effect after this year. Instead of 3 mill tax, it will be a 2 mill tax, hereafter. MrTbe North Branch Canal was begun by Gov. Ritoer, and abandoned by his successors resumed under Gov. Johuston, and finished under Gov. Pollock. WHICH PARTY WILL YOU NOW ENTRUST? Having eonelusively shown, from Democratic and Official authorities, that tbe so-called Democracy are responsible for more than (99 out of every $100 of our State Indebtedness that every Democratic Administration has increased our debts that every Opposition Administration has reduced tbe debts tbe question assumes a practical form : VFAtcA Party will you entrust fur the ensuing three years T Tax-Payers and Workingmen of Pennsylvania I one party has by gross misman agement heaped a tremendous burden upon yon, wbicb they have increased at every opportunity : jou can not trust that party. The times require tbe very best men, aud the best management.

Tbe Franklin and Humboldt went ashore and broke in pie ces tbe former on Long Island, and the latter near Halifax. Tbe Arctic and Pa cific were lost as already recorded. Tbe iron steamer Tempest, measuring 1500 ton3, sailed from New York, Feb. 12,1357, with a crew of from thirty-five to forty men, aud was never heard from. Ou tbe Pacific, several bae steamers have been lost, generally of a smaller class. The In dependence, for instance, was totally lost, with one hundred and twenty lives; aud the Tennessee, St. Louis, and Yankee Blade, Wiuliold Scott, and others, became total wrecks. EoglL-h steamers, in waters contiguous to the United States, bave fared little better. Within a short time we bave to record tbe loss of tbe fine iron steamship Canadian, on the St. Lawrence ; also tbe steiiul)ip Clyde,, and several steamers in tbe West India Islauds. A calculation as to tbe number of lives lost in the steamers makes a total of about seventeen hundred. This loss being irrep arable, no consolation can be derived from the fact that a large proportion of it might bave been prevented by a division of tbese ships into compartments by water-tight bulkheads; but there is opportunity to make the adoption of such . a means of safety compulsory upon tbe owners cf all sea-goiog steamers, and thereby doing much to prevent the recurrence of catas trophes such as we too often bave occasion to deplore Ar.

We regret to learn that a son of Mr. Philip Steller, of Penn town ship, this county, aged about 12 years, met witb an uutimuly death on Weduesday last, by accidentally hanging himself witb a clothes line stretched upon two trees.
