FOIt CANATj COMMISSIONEK.
JAMES M. POWER, '
OF MERCER COU.VTV.
James M. Power at Home.
'1 he following resolution, amongst oihers,
was adopted at a recent meeting of the Whigs
of Mercer county:
Resolved, Thai the Whig party, in asking
lhe support of the citizens of Pennsylvania for
fieir candidate for Canal Commissioner, do so,
111 the well-founded confidence in their hones-
ty and patriotism. It is known that James M.
Power comes not before the people holding of-
fice, and presented by any combination oTpoli-
ticians. One of the people, presented bv the
people, and maintaining the principles they ad-1
vocatc, he stands before them free and untram-
mailed. Now is the time for Pennsylvania to
speak in the loudest tones in favor oj the Tariff
"'42, and give a rebuke to those politicians
and citizens who have so jraudulently bartered J
away her interests. Let her rally around the
TARIFF CANDIDATE, and let it not be a
party triumph, so much as a triumph of princi-l
pie of the Tariff of '42, over the abominable
liritish act of '46.
The Kcw Tariff.
Business men, the mechanics, the laborers,
the farmers, of ihis country were perfectly sat
isfied with the Tariff of 1842; they all felt its
benefits, and knew that its continuance would
have been profitable to all classes; not one per
son out of Congress, throughout the Union, ever
asked for its repeal. Yet it has been struck
down by the ruthless hands of Southern ab
stractionists and subservient partizans, and a
law substituted which is defective in principle,
and has not one fact to prove its usefulness.
To show how this bill will operate upon the
farmers of this country, and the artisans in our
midst, we present a list of articles with the
rates of protection, as fixed by the tariffs of
1S42 and 1846:--
1842. 184G.
Ready made clothing, 50 35
Mens' silk hats, 54 20
Silk or satin hats for women, 55 20
Silk caps, tnrbans, ornaments for
dressraprons, collars, cuffs, &c. 30 25
Tarred cables and cordage, 71 25
Yarn twine and pack thread, 34 30
Sad Irons, 55 30
Chains other than chain cables, 93 20
Axes, hatchets, and the like, 30 20
Men's boots and bootees, 37 20
Men's shoes and pumpsr 35' 20
Women's boots and bootees, 37 20
Women's shoes and slippers, 39 20
Cabinet ware, 30 0
Wheal, 35 20
Barley,. 320 20
Oats, 32 20
Wheat flour, 28 20
Iron castings, 49 30
This brief contrast shows what sad inroads
the McKay's tariff makes upon the rates of
protection to American products, both mechan
ical and agricultural.
The Corn Crop iu North Carolina.
In a number of our exchange papers from
North Carolina, we have observed favorable ac
counts given of the Corn crop in that State.
The editor of the Milton Chronicle in speaking
of the crop which has come under his observa
tion, says :
The Crop promises to1 be the largest known
to the ramory of our oldest mem We never
beheld such a promising prospect. What in
the world' will those people do who-were offer
ed $4,50 per barrel for corn last winter and
spring, but who- refused to lake less than $5
and $6 ? We have heard of some of this bix
dollar corn being recently offered in our mar
ket at about $2 but it was no go! Let torn
ballera learn a lesson fiomthis, if thev will.
liATJBR FROM THE ARMY.
MOVEMENTS, &c.
The steamship New Yoik has arrived at N.
Orleans from Brazos Santiago, which place she
left on the 8ih inst.
Accounts from Camargo to the 4th inst. say
that the Texan Rangers were to start on tha
day for Mier, on a scouting expedition, with
orders to take that place, and hold it, if possi
ble.
The mounted Hangers were to proceed to Li
nares and Montery, to lake possession.
General laylor passed up the river to Key
nosa on tho 5ih. accornnanied bv one half o
lhe Texan rGimenl Qf inrantrv and a few rea.
ulars, and would probably be at Camargo in four
days.
A skirmish htfd Vake'n place near Camargo
between'GOO Cumanche Indians and 75 or 80
Rangers. The Indian loss was twenty, and
the Rangers two men. The Rangers captured
150 horses. There is in the vicinity of Mon
terey about 4000 Mexican troops.
No news had been received from Monterey
All the Army were to move for Camargo on
the 10th. All will not leave for Monterey un
til the 25th.
The Dragoons wcro in camp at Matamoras
The health of the Army continues good.
The river is again rising.
Capt. Walker is lying dangerously ill at Mat
amoras.
Sickness among the Volunteers is increasing
It is expected that they will soon follow Gen
Taylor.
The enemy is fortifying, with his small force,
Monterey, and it is supposed they have made
arrangements to assemble a large force when
the army eets within striking distance
Eleven steamers have ascended to Camargo
with troops and supplies.
STILL LATER
Lieut. Lee, of the Eighth Infantry, who ar-
rived at Charleston on Friday last, direct from
the Army, states thai General Worth, with his
Brigade, was on his way to China, sixty miles
beyond Camargo. Ihis town is an important
depot, it being at this time in possession of the
American forces. All the regular troopB. with
the exception of May's dragoons and Ridgely's
Battery, numbering from three to four thousand,
were at Camargo.
Gen. Taylor is now at Camargo. It is sup
posed he will proceed to Monterey with six
thousand men.
An impression prevails that the enemy will
give him fight at the defile between Monterey
and Saltallo. '
We are requested to stale, says a Charleston
paper, that there has been no meeting between
the Camanches and the Texan Rangers, as
stated in Matamoras papers of the 8th inst.
Camargo, August 3, 1846.
I have, says a correspondent of the N Or
leans Bee, just seen a letter, dated yesterday
at Reynosa, the writer of which calls for a de
tachment of mounted men to guard a large
drove of pack mules to this place. He has re
liable information, so he says, that a gang of
brigands has been organized in the neighbor
hood of Reynosa to cut up any and every small
party they may meet upon the road, and he
further stales that some of the principal men of
that place are engaged in this scheme of pillage
and murder. 2 trust the scoundrels may be
found out. The conciliatory system has been
lost upon them, and some other should bo tried.
We are treating thousands of individuals here
with consideration and respect who would turn
round and cut our throats the first opportunity
that occurred, an con mucho gusto, to uso one
of their favorite expressions.
Important from Vera Cruz.
VIA HAVANA.
New York, Aug. 20, 1846.
The ship Adelaide, Adams, sailed from Ha
vana on the 9th of July, and arrived here this
day. A special messenger from Vera Cruz
came passenger in the steam packet to Havana,
with letters to Santa Anna, informing him that
the citizens and military of Vera Cruz had de
clared in favor of him. Santa Anna, Almonte
and Rt-jon, immediately took passage in the
British steamer Arab, and proceeded privately
to Vera Cruz.
On the 8th of July, in the night, Com. Con
ner's ship, the Potomac, got aground at Green
hie. By heaving the guns overboard, she got
olf and proceeded to Pensacsla to bo repaired.
There was no sickness sn the American fleet.
The Truxion and Perry were off Havana,
but had no communication wiih the shore, as
the yellow fever was prevailing on the island.
The Buffalo Courier mentions the blowing in
of a-bituminous coal furnace at Poland, on the
Mahoning. River, Ohio, by Messrs. Wilkcson,
Wilkes & Co. of that city. This, that paper
says, is ill; first American furnace in which pig
iron haa been made with raw bituminous coal.
FOREIGN NEWS." ,
ArriTal of the Caledonia.
The steamship Caledonia, Capt. Lott, arrived
at Boston on the 18th inst. Her arrival was
telegraphed to New York in the afternoon, but
in consequence of tho derangement of some
part of tho machinery, the telegraph was una
ble to communicate any part of the intelligence
brought bv her. The papers were brought to
N. York by Adams's and Harnden's Expresses
The accession of the Whigs has produced
disruption in Ireland. O'Connell and the O'
Brien faction of the repealers are at logger
heads.
The proceedings of the British Parliament
have been barren of interest. The dull monot-
ny of a long session, now drawingrapidly to a
close, has been relieved by two nights' discus
sion on the Sugar Duties.
The Government scheme has triumphed by
a majority of 265 to 135, nearly two to one
This result virtually abrogates tho monopoly,
and places sugar in the same catagory as corn
by an easy declension on the hih road to
Free-trade. Sir Robert Peel gave the minis
ter s measure a generous support, and tho great
ness of the majority may be traced to that cir
cumstance. Of course, all fears of an immedi
ate dissolution are at end.
Another attempt has been made on the life
of tho King of the French. While seated at a
window in tho Palace of the Tulleries 10 listen
to a concert performed by the National Guards;
on the -30ih ult. a man in the crowd drew a pis
tol, and fired two shots at the King. He miss
ed him, of course and also those in lhe vicin
ity and was immediately arrested. His name
was Joseph Henri. Ho said he was weary of
ife, and resorted to this crime as a means of
meeting death.
A Paris paper, the Courier Francais, says
that the Mexican Government has demanded of
France and England their mediation to put an
end to the War with the United States, and that
the departure of the Psyche for Vera Cruz has
been delayed some days in order that it may
carry the answer to this proposition. Doubtful.
The London Money Market vas without
much change. Mexican funds had been affec
ted they had declined.
The corn trade was inactive. The late ar
rivals of flour and wheat from tho United States
and Canada tended to depress prices.
An improvement had taken place in the man
ufacturing districts, in consequence of the prob
ability of the passage of the new tariff bill.
Owing to the tariff having passed the more
popular branch of Congress, the value of Iron
has risen in anticipation of a large export to the
United States.
Louis Bonaparte, ex-king of Holland, died at
Leghorn of apoplexy on the 24th ult. aged 67.
The Pope of Rome has granted a general
amnesty for all political offenders.
The sale of American flour on the 27th was
dull. The best brands of United States were
held for 26s. per barrel. In consequence of
the potato disease having increased rapidly in
Ireland, there was some inquiry on the date al
luded to, for Indian Corn for shipment to that
place;- but the high terms asked by holders
checked business.
American Flour. Three hundred barrels
of American flour reached Nottingham from
Liverpool the other day, and was immediately
sold at about eight dollars per barrel.
The differences between France and Hayti,
have been satisfactorily arranged. The latter
pays an-indemnity, invites the consul of France
by letter to resume his functions, and receives
him with all honors on land. It is stated that
the English agents have contributed greatly to
bring about this satisfactory result.
Making the Best of it.
The democratic prints, who still dare to bra
zen out the Tariff fraud, are calling upon their
partizans to suspend their opinions, to keep
cool and steady, and to await orders from head
quarters. There is a wondrous facility in these
papers for accommodating themselves to
cir-
cumstances, and they imagine that
mould the public voice to their will

organs, whether they are up or down, they still

They are like tho Laird of Bowniemorn,- who,
while travelling home on horseback one niht,
"a little fou," came to a brook that crossed the
road; and the Laird's horse,-being pretty well
used to have his own way, slopped slum and
put down his head to take a drink. ' This had
the effect to make the poor laird lose hb bal-
ance, and away he went over the horse's ears
into the middle of the brook. The Laird, hon
est man, had just sense enough to hear the
splash and to know that something was wrong;!
but ho was that drunk that he did not in the:
least suspect that it was himself. " Watty,"

off his horse with laughing, " for it's yourself,

Laird, with a hiccup between every word,

The democrats carry on their game
baldly.

palpably inefficient to deceive. Ib.
Plump and Plain.
The Pennsylvanian is one of the loudest pa
pers in defence of Mr. Polk and his administra
tion, i his is partly to be accounted for by the
fact that its editor, Mr. John W. Fokxey, holds
anoflice in the Custom House, at a salary of
$1600 or $2000, and that he does a'vast amount
of printing for the Custom House, in addition,
for which he receives good pay and heavy pri
ces. Wo must say for him, however, that he
serves his master well. In a late number of
that paper, the editor did venture so far
as to
say:
We repeat, for the twentieth time, that wc
do not like several of the features in the new
bill, and especially its duty upon coal."
Upon which lhe Times, another Locofoco
paper, very freely comments as follows :
rnd who will believe you, when day after
day you are lauding the author of this bill and
singing hosannas to Mr. Dallas and those who
voted for it ? We despise such hypocrisy. If
your bread and butter," or rather your contin
uation as a Government officer, depends on
your approval of the bill, why not say so at
once and be done with it ? Whv this w hinino
and cant when it is well known that dunnf the
pending of the bill you indirectly advocated its
passage V
This is digging it into Mr. Forney right plump
and plain. It is touching on facts. But he
deserves it all and more. The Pennsylvanian
who can advocate the cause of such traitors to
her interests as Polk and Dallas, deserves no
better than they do themselves. They deceiv
ed, cheated and betrayed the people of Penn
sylvania ; and they will be repudiated by tho
people, and will drag down with them all who
attach themselves to their fortunes. Harris-
burg Intelligencer.
Stick to the Party.
This is the cry of the Administration press.

made by these presses to the people whom they
misled and betrayed in 1844. Will the honest
voters of the Slate consent again to be humbug
ged ? They have tried the party they have
tried Polk- and Dallas ; where is the Tariff of
1842 ? and wjiere is the belter Tariff man than

IVeu Counterfeits.
A New Counterfeit fifty dollar note m
the-
Miner's Bank of Poitsvilie, has been di.cmer
ed in Philadelphia. It is evidently a nev emis
sion, aimf altogether unlike the genuine. The
good notes have for a vigneite a femalr, wiih
the denomination 50"' in large character
worked in, and two female figures on each side.
It is the only plate the bank has in circulau.-u.
The counterfeit has a medallion head on the
left end of the note.
$2 bills on the Trenton Banking Company
are in circulation. The vignette is an Indian
with a bow and arrow on the margin of a river,
with a deer and dog on the opposite side of the
stream. In the vignette is a figure 2. On tho
right end is the figure of a man leaning against
a post, and the stern of a ship in the distance.
On the left hand a large female figure. The
ono before us is dated March 1st, 1846, and is
signed by tho regular officers. Tho genuine
plate in-no one particular resembles this coun
terfeit. Lewistow.v Bank It is stated in several
of our papers that the Lewistown Bank, in this
