ly been sold at hundreds of dollar per acre,
which, a few years before these improvements
were made, were comparatively worthless.
nch were the effects of the protective policy.
"Was this system hurtful to agriculture? Then
let gentlemen look at the Laurel Factory, not
far from this city. The proprietor of that fac
tory lately bought the ground on which it stood
for five dollars an acre; and the same proprie
tor was now trying to purchase land in the J
neighborhood at fifty, and could not get it. J his
-was the effect of giving the farmers a market.
Manufacturing csiablishments multiplied the
value of farms in their vicinity often ten, twen
ty, and sometimes, mineral lauds, an hundred
fold. And what was its effect upon labor ? J
Did it not increase the price of labor! What
raised prices but an increased demand ? What
depressed prices but the destruction of employ
tiient ? The protective policy, by increasing
ihe number of manufacturing establishments, of
course increased the number of persons em
ployed in them, thereby cicaiing a greater de
maud and higher wages for labor. Laborers of
ll descriptions flock to the furnaces coal dig
gers, choppers, teamsters, and a thousand others.
Now, suppose the gentleman should quit his
citation, make no more appeals to party, and
no more anti-tariff speeches, what would be thei
v fleet ? Would not others go to building up
new establishments? And would not that fur
nish new markets for farmers, and employment
for labor of all sorts ? The Mount Savage
works employed in various ways from four to
live thousand men. Let three or four more
iuch establishments go up in that vicinity, and
you would have at once a demand for three or
four tigies as many hands, and for all sorts of
agricultural produce in the same proportion.
How, then, could gentlemen assert that the
protective policy was oppressive to labor and
agriculture ?

A capital thing was said by Col. Benton, a
few days ago, to a distinguished Whig Senator
which should not be allowed to perish. They
were discussing the effect of the Oregon com
promise upon the fifty-four forties, and the poli
cy which that division of the Democratic party
had pursued. " Sir," said Col. Benton, " when
you were a boy, your mother made you read

Speaking of 64 40, an anecdote is current in
political circles here which is not so well told
in the newspaper version, and which can only
be appreciated by those who know the ardent
and intrepid subject of it. As the unwritten
story goes, Senator II , who is among the
most resolute and honest of the 54 40s, hear
ing ugly rumors that Mr. Polk was caving in'
on the Oregon Question, resolved to go up and
tell him plainly that he must stand straight up
to the line of 54 40 or he would be put where
the hand of resurrection' could never reach
him. So resolved, be walked up to and into
tho Palace, and deeming all formalities need

room. As he stepped familiarly in, what was
his amazement to see there the President in
close consultation with Messrs. Calhoun, D.

members of the Cabinet. The 54 40 Senator
etood transfixed a moment, and at length found

Without farther salutation or waiting to receive

The HTciv Tariff Bill passed by the
House.
The new Tariff Bill, reported by Mr. McKay,
of North Carolina, Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means, and which has been un
der consideration in the popular branch of Con
gress for a month, passed that body on Friday
last, by a vote of 1 14 yeas to 95 nays, Nine
teen majority! The Bill, as passed by the
House, is substantially the same as it was fur
nished to the Committee by Mr. Walker, Polk's
free-trade Secretary of the Treasury, and com
pletely destroys the Tariff of 1842. As the
Locos have a majority of six in the Senate,
there is but little hope that this labor-destroying
production of the administration will be defeat
ed there. Mr. Polk will give it his sanction as
soon as it is presented to him. His letter to
Mr. Kane, and the declarations of his political
friends in Pennsylvania, during the Presiden
tial campaign, to the contrary notwithstanding.
The whole Pennsylvania delegation, we are
proud to sa), with tho exception of Mr. Wil
mot, of Bradford and Susquehanna, voted against
the Bill.
Betrayed Pennsylvania.
The doings at Washington, on Friday last,
has opened the eyes of many Pennsylvanians,
who were deluded into the belief, by the loco
foco leaders, that James K. Polk was a better
Tariff-man than Henry Clay, and that if he
was elected he would not favour the repeal of
the Tariff of 1842. The vote of the House on
Friday last, and the circumstances attending it,
however, has plainly given them to understand
that they were deceived; and that James K.
Polk is, what the Whigs always represented
him to be, a violent free-trade advocate, and a
bitter opponent of protection. The new tariff
bill is laid expressly for the purposes of reve
nue, and entirely discards the idea of protec
tion. The duties are all ad valorem, the value
to be that of the country from which they are
brought. This Bill cannot fail in paralizing
the energy of our people, and utterly destroy
ing the prosperity of the country. Will not
the deceived and injured people of Pennsylva
nia speak to their betrayers, this fall, in a 'oice
which will make even their accomplice of the
White House, at Washington, hang his head in
shame for the part he took in the disgraceful
transaction.

anoiher under Gon. Kearney, and Gen. Butler,
via Santa Fe, to California.

Canal Commissioner.
The Erie Gazelle makes the following just
and truthful remarks in reference to the ap
proaching election for Csnal Commissioner:
It was ihe intention of the Legislature when
they enacted the law giving the election of Ca
nal Commissioners to the people, that the canal
board should be filled by men differing in po-
litical faith. The law was passed under a con
viction of ihe wrongs and mismanagement of,
the old system. The corruptions of the canal
board had become so prominent that the domi-1
nant party themselves could no longer deny
them, and assented to the passage of ihe law,
but strenuously and with success opposed di
viding the state in three districts, each to elect
one commissioner. By party drill the Locofo
cos have deprived the State of the benefits in
tended to be conferred by the law. It is admit
ted by every one that a canal board of a mixed
party character is highly necessary to protect
the interests of the people and to curtail the
enormous state expenses, as well as to lop off
the old corruptions that yet cling to its manage
ment. The evidences now are that a portion of the
Locofoco party are becoming tired of the cor
ruptions and drill that has bound them hand and
foot, and immersed the stale in heavy taxes.
Several of their party presses in the interior of
the state hesitate in their support of such wrongs
and give evidence that they prefer a purifying
of the canal board. This information is cheer
ing, coming as it does so near the October elec
tion, at which time it will be the duty of tho
people to elect a Canal Commissioner. For
that office the Whigs offer James M. Power,
a man of acknowledged experience in the man
agement of Canals. Honest and faithful, he
can be relied on. We must confess from what
we learn that we have strong hopes of his elec
tion, that he will receive more than his party
vote wo have not the loast doubt, and this fact
assures us that if the Whigs turn out in their
full strength, Mr. Power will be elected, which
t
is a consummation greatly to bo desired, and of
interest to the tax-paying citizens of all parties.
