gar.O.oburg. Front the Norto American and V. S. Climatic llinauentina, Feb. 8, 1861. The Select Committee of the House . oxithe tariff have acted . ; but what action! Thoyhavo given us threi reports. -The 'document put forth by the.. Whig members of the dommittoo is an embodiment of the 'real Pennsylvania, A merican 'doctrine, of preference of our own la- bor over foreign. It is plain, pointed and poir erful—goes to the heart of the question, states it as it is, and, as with the knife of the skilful surgeon, lays bare the sophistryand obscurity with which the Locofotio report attempted to enshroud the point at ,issue. It is plain enough to be understood by all readem-pointeidenough to demonstrate the correctness of its poSition —powerful enough to guide the mind of the reader through dark paths and hidden ways to the broad,- cl.eir road 'of light_andlruth , ____ The,report of Mossre: Bonham and Brindle is of very great length—so lengthy, indeed, as to the Wende- cause the ler when it Was prepared; and by whom. I TllO committee was appointed on Thursday. Th 4 could not have known before , Friday whether they would agreeor not, and therefore, whether a majority or minority re port would be necessary r . but hero we have presented. to the house, on Monday morning, a report covering 86 pages of lettif paper, and treating at length. 'and with minuteness the whole question involved I Mr. Bonham may have -known that he would probably need a document of thisnature for some purpose, and may-have prepared it in advance. It is cer- tainly difficult to divine how so long a report could have been prepared at so short notice. The document, however, is clearly written; and, supports, with considerable ingenuity, the 'theories iE maintains. It review the legisla tion on the tariff from the beginning of the sovernMent to the present day, and argues a gainst protection in any form. It is an ultra Lobefoce, free trade document, and becaUse it avows plainly the doctrine of most of their leaders, -and therefore of moat of the rank and file, it will not be relished by that portion of their party Who still retain an affection forthat doctrine of PrcitettiOn of Which but a few . years ago, it was one of the loudest and most e arncat boasts of these same leaders that they wore the most trustworthy friends. The report declaims against-this doctrine and speaks of the tended ' cy and intention of protection to rob themass. es and benefit the protected few. Such asser tions as 'these, mado.to frighten those whom their fallacious arguments will not convince, will fall harmless from tho writer ; for the day has gate by when the niind is to be coerced, and threats and imaginary horrors are to sup ply the place of facts and calm reasoning. Mr. Petuaimau's Report is cui generic. Mr. P. felt this Morning the awkwardness of his position. -Ho stops at the halfway_ 'Muse, as was remarked by - one - of his - political friends, and is in doubt whether to embrace the Whig - ortlit - , true Llit7ofo - dirdoctrine. As another re marked-L-4 is idle for him to hold his present views, and try to keep his position in his par ty. -The probabilities are, however, that the House will vote down the resblutions Offered by "the Whigs and those offered by the ultra, Locofficos, and thtit these rare avia—Tariff Lo cofooos-,-and the Whigs will unite and pass some such resolution as was - first offered.. The whole question is now in more confu sion than when the committee was, appointed, thanks to the majority of this Rouse. Correspondence of the North American liesmanuna, February 4 We had quite a scone in the House this af ternoon. The tariff resolution was called up, and elicited debate, in which tho merits of the "democracy,"• and the exaot meaning of the word and the doctrine of the party made a largo figure. The ball was fiercely opened by Mr. Rhoy, on a motion made by Mr. Bon, ham to postpone the Whole , subjeot indefinite ly. Mr. Ithoy made a very expressive speech, and ho stated facts which servo to explain the views of some of-the leading locofocos of the State. He stated that every prorainent man who-presented his name-to-the locofoco caucus— es a candidate for 11. S. Senator was known to be in favor of a modification of the ,resent Tar- - iffr es--as-to give greater protection--to-the-coal and -- iron interests of Pennsylvania. Mr. :Woodward gave a written pledge to the caucus, in which ho took occasion to explain his precise posi tion on the subject. Judge Black stated often - in Harrisburg that he favored a similar Change. Hr. Plummer had expressed the same opinion. Mr. PoSter, of Westmoreland, was, of that. Class called "Tariff Democrat," and favored _similar suggestion: Mr. Broadhead had given no pledge on the subject, but his public life had shown his nttachnent to the doctrine of protection, and 'there was no necessity for a pledge, as there was no doubt of - his opin ions.. The 'principal presses of tho State had taken a similar position both in this State aid in Washington. • Mr. Ithey stilted these facts, ono of which. —in relation to Mr. Broadhead--zoos to cor roborate ho statement I made at the time,lof Mr: Broadhead's friendship for a change and the claim I made of his election as a Tariff victory. Mr. Bonham made a fOl4 remarks in favor of postponement, in which ho took occasion to restate his oppositieri tothe protective prin ciple., Mt. Ahoy very pointedly asked him whether ho did not know that their party had marched in 1842 under the banner of Polk, Shunk, arid We Tariff of 1842n_ Mr. .B.; although at that time a politician of some note in Cumborkmd county, did not know whe ther they had done so or not! No wonder ho .bluehed when he made the reply. Ho frankly aid' boldly denied that he had over marched under stiolrn banner; knit when asked what his party had done, ho, with great embarrass ment,' replied he did not ,inoto! His memory is very bad—accurate enough to • know what he had done, but not what the. whole commit nity had dom.' The fact is, the question was too hard, and it brought back upon him, as it mita upon - all the parties• to the infamous fraud which' that campaign saw perpetrated, the - donsoiousnem of having basely• deceived the honest citizens of the State, and attempted to Meet the prospects and ruin the hopes of the dupes of their cunning Mime.

The darling wish" of many of our citizens to have a Representative " capable of making a speech," has been gratified I Mr. Bonham, our lately elected Representative, bas t to use the language of a prominent LoeofOiii, - delivered himself not only of an 'oratation,' but also of a "report." The, latter document proves that wo don't knoW what is in Men un til they are tried. Mr. 'Bonham' though'admit ted on all hands to be minima no mean abil ity, was still considered by those who knew him best as by no means quick. His report on the Tariff shows, however, that he is both tal ented and quick I ' ' - The return judges of the special election which resulted in his being returned as our Representative, met on Monday. Mr. Bon hom's credentials are presented at Harrisburg and he takes his seat on Tuesday. On Thurs day the new member is appointed on a Com mittee on the subject of the tariff, and although always in his place during the sessions of the House_from the time the Committoeis appoint ed until the day of the report, Mr. Bonham has ready, a written report of tldety-six manuscript pages on the following Monday I .In the meanwhile, too, some little time must have been spent by the Committee in consultation.— Who says now that our Member is not a smart -man? „True ho had the valuable assistance of Mr. Brindle, his only agreeing colleague of the 'committee, and to feel very much hurt that Mr. Bonham's friends , claim , for him all the credit of thhireport.. Bon ham could hardly have prepared it all himself in so short a time. As tt matter of course Mr: Brindle must-have helped him some. We a fire a-little sorry to cometo this conclusion, as it detracts somewhat from the reputation of our newly-oleetediting member, but still we cannot aupp . os6 even Mr. Bonham to. be capa ble of impossibilities. - In addition to his report Mr. _Bonham made a speech, alio, and from the roportsof the leg islative proceedings a pretty long speech, ta king two if not three days' sessions for its de-. livery! Of course the longer a speech is the more it redounds to the credit cf the constitu ency who send the talking member. The Le gislature costs the tax-payers nothing. The members are too patriotic to take three dollars a day—of course they areland therefore very long speeches and very long reports aro the. very thine thdt are of importance! Mr. Bonham's speech and report have we are afraid given a death blow to our hopes of Protection to Pennsylvania interests for the present Congress. Pennsylvania with her in ternal resources and her peculiar facilities-for manufaeturing,is_eut_off.from_althapeotha ing those resources - anci - faeilitirs - doveloped - o.nd properly applied, by the course of just' such men - as Mr. Bonham. 'When there is a,dispo nitiOrratnng-all—partica — in - Congress - to' - do I something for the Keystone State,— when e ven Southern Free. Traders see the necessity of protection to Pennsylvania interests—how ab solutely necessary it is for her welfare—at such a moment it islhat her own recreant sons proclaim with a loud voice the doctrines of Free Trade and promulgate from high places that Pennsylvania desires no protection, and protection is denied! 'We do not tntend•to dis cuss the Tariff just now. The time is corning, how Over, when it will be discussed, more fully than ever, and the doctrine of Protection will be proclaimed ,as the .cardinal principle of Pennsylvania political_ faith—Mr. Bonham's great speech and report to the contrary not :withstanding. We will leave the subjectlhow over fortho present with this ono question : which party in Cumberland county is now the Tariff party 1-.-the party whose mouth-piece and representative Mr. Bonham is, or the Whig party? Let honest and ingenuous Tariff demoprats answer. From Harrisburg. Wo learn from Harrisburg that the Tariff resolutions were disposed -of in the Senate, on Friday, when the sound whig resolutions of Mr. Walker passedhy a vote of 18 to 14, re ceiving every Whig, vote'andthe looofooo 'vote) of Mr. Fraley, of Schuylkill. In the House, Mr. Bonham, of Cumberland, finished hie speech on the tariff. In this speech it is said ho took the ground, among other truly novel notions', that the interest of the farmer and - manufacturer were doubly antage nedical and-that - the two could - not exist togeth.. in ono country and prosper 1. It was also his opinion that we shoUld purchase the manu factured goods we need from Europe, and psy for them by our breadstuff's: [Wo, are doing the fir Est now pretty much, Mr. Bonham, but aroyeimyjna:for them : by our' agricultural products?] '‘, • - .

When, Wo saw this an nouncement by Mr. Bonham, we felt prompt ed to examinethe commercial circulars brought by the last steamship, andin that of the great London house, the' Messrs. 13aring and Bre , then, under datd of January. 17; 1851 we find the following quotation: . The gain markets, have ruled /very dull throughetit the week, and English Wheat, whichowing to the long prevalence of mild weather, comes in very indifferent condition, is full ono shilling lower.: Foreign is very feud of sale, owing to .the large aupplies of Flour . , and for cargoes of .

'which is the best' market, the American or the English? I= BON iIAMS ULTRAISII The nitro, free trade report—and speech of. Mr. Bonhain, so carefully prepared by the midnight lamp, and cut and dried for, use whilelewas only a prOspectitic Representa tive, have evidently proved me apropos at Harrisburg. The old fashioned doctrines of Protection, "advocated by Washington, Jeer , son and Jachson,^ together with every demo , untie Governor of Pennsylvania, are not yet regarded as the /twangs which such youthful , Reformers in political economy as Mr. Bon ham would try to make them out. They have evidently a majority of firm adherents yet, as the recent vote in the Senate and House both conclusively prove. In the letters published under the head "Doings in Harrisburg, 7 •Ids constituents Will see the glaring mistake Mf. Bonham has made, and the severe rebuke. which his ultra course elicited from his fellow locofoco, Mr. Ithey. The Democratic Union, the leading locofoco organ at Harrisburg,_ wo, perceive also expresses its dissent from the o pinions_aillance(Lby Bonham-in-his speech,- although it praises his qualities as an orator. THE GENERAL' BANKING LAW This is a subject,.sayi the Lebanon Courier, in which both business men and tax-payers have great interest in seeing-adopted in Pennsylve, nia ; for while it Affords/ the facilities to busi ness which banking is intended to do, it brings a large revenue into the - State Treasury,. which, under the present partial syshith, goes into the coffers of selfish and heartless ocrpo rations: Under the •General Banking law, the Revenue to the State, estimating the amount of Banking under that law, at the same as is now done by our present Ranks, and that upon this sera the State would realize 2Pper cent., would be about HALF A MILLION OF DOL LARS PER ANNUM. 'Thequestioli may well be askod,why should not the tax-payers of the State as welt realize this amount towards pay ing off their State debt, as to give it to few specially favored-individuals: That Would, be a 'strong help towards liquidating our State debt. ' We have no doubt that this law will pass the present Legislature, if left to its own mer- Ito-b-urvtirttra-talkrthyold-bankg-ttraltria'-- tion, determined to accomplish its defeat, re gardloss of expense; 'and. accordingly, a large sum of money has been raised in Philadelphia,_ for that purpose. We trust, however, that a law which is so largely calculated to benefit the people of the State, will not be allowed to be defeated by corrupt moans. The day of sbecial privilege is about at an end, and the law may as well be alleWed to pass without an unprincipled opposition. If our legislators do not do it this winter, the people will see' to it that they lrfifo repredentatives next iv Ater, who will not in accordance with the flood of petitions that are now pouring in upon the Legislature on this matter.

On Thursday morning last, as we learn from the city papers, a colored woman named Tumor Williams, residing in Kensington, was arrested as la fugitive slave. She was claimed as the preporty of Wm. T. J. Purnell, of Worceker county, Md.tcho- admitted dur ing the trial that it was twenty-two years since she ran away. When , arrested she was tho mother of six children, the eldest about six teen and the youngest an infant. She is a woman of excellent character and-the circum stances made her case a painful ono. The case was brought before - Judge Kane-on a writ of habeas corpus. ' Tho hearing of the case last ed until Saturday, and the testimony brotight to' prove the identity of thi prisoner was very Vague and unsatisfactory. After the testimo ny concluded, Judge Kano 'reviewed the ovi 'deuce atilength. He spoke of the great' diffi culty Of identifying a person after twenty-two years lapse of time, and stated that according to the evidence the prisoner was not the per son claimed. \ That at the time they say she was in Maryland, it was clearly proved by good and responsible witnesses that she was in Penn sylvania.' She, was therefore discharged. • The discharge of the prisoner made the col ored people who wore in attendance wild with excitement.

Tliememorialsof the increita#l3, mechanics; ar : tisane and laborers of New York, Boston, Bal timore; &c., to the first Congress under the Federal Constitution unitedly testify that commerce as well as labor had been brought to the Inlnk of destruction* the !seven.. year's' of absolute Free Trade which succeeded the Revolutionary, War, and that a Tariff was vi tally needed to secure duo employment and' Feward to each. So in all later times when a - cry has gone up to Congress for higher duties, it has been based upon and has appealed to actual disasters, lossef and sufferings conse quent 'on the absence or inadequacy of the ex isting import duties. But when the evil had been removed by a change of policy—when public attention had been Comparatively with drawn from the subject—then came the falla cious theoriste,and overturned and frittered a way the bulwark of the Nation's prosperity.- NO num will even now pretend that the ;tariff of 1828 was whittled down in 1832-3, so as to sink gradually to 29 per cent. in 1842, be cause the country was even alleged to be un prosperous Or ita industry depressed and par alyied. So again in 1846. The,. existence of thrift and general-activity _was admitted, oven by those who flashed before the Nation's oyes the most intoxicating prospects of wealth to be nequired.by abolishing all protective. duties and attempting to grasp the carrying and bar gaining of the whole world. Let it,not bo forgotten that the statistics of our National Indnstr'y show an immense and increasing progress in production and thrift under,the influence of the tariff of 1842. We were persuaded to give up the protectivo tar iff of 184.2, not on the assumption that we were then unprosperous, but in order that we might become more prosperous.
