The Congressmen at Phila delphia. On Thursday last the Whigs of Phila delphia city and county received the Whig members of Congress, while on their way home, with a public display of their regard and approbation. A committee had been previously appointed to invite them. They landed at the Dock street wharf - , where the members were seated in carriages fur• nished fur the occasion by the citizens, and a line of procession formed, under the command of mounted marshals; and from thence the procession proceeded to the Museum, where the audience were called to order. John Sergeant then well corned the Congressmen in the name of, the W higs of the city and county of Phil- . adelphia, in a brief but appropriate speech. An address was next delivered by Mr. McKENNaN, member from Washington county, after which the meeting adjourned. l In the evening the meeting was again called, in front of the Exchange, where an immense Cross d gathered. Here resolu• lions were adopted, and addresses deliv ered by a number of the Congressmen un til, a late hour. The U.S. Gazette says : " Philadelphia has seen no such demonstration of Whig strength, and Whig determination, as she The Locofocos in some of the saw on Thursday. And it is silly in any counties seem to disregard the veto Tim one to attempt to conceal the truth, that spective, and nominate candidates for the proceedings of the day and evening Congress struck fear into the hearts of the Locofo cos," Loco Foco Central Commit- tee. In justice to Mr. Green, we have era sed his name from the call for the Loco Foco Convention at Alexandria. Sometime about the first of May last, Mr. McFarlane also declined being one of the Central Committee of the pseudo' Workingtnen's party in this county. If, we understood his letter to the Editor of the Lewistown Gazette aright, he declined because his principles would not permit him to support a PROTECTIVE TARIFF, a, measure which the resolutions of the meet.' ing which appointed the Committee seem ed to favor. But as Mr. McFarlane is a faithful Anti-Tariff Loco Fuco, and may now have his name to the call "by order," we shall not disturb it unless desired by him to do so. Boy Killed. On Saturday last, a boy who lived with Mr. James Leonard, in Barree township, came to his death in the following man ner:--While turning cattle into pasture, he took the bridle oft the horse he had been riding, and struck him with it, when he was kicked in the abdomen, causing his death in a few minutes. Adjournment of Congress. Congress adjourned on Wednesday last, at 2 o'clock P. M., after having pass ed the Distribution Bill as a measure in• dependent of the Tariff: It is expected that the President will veto the Distribu tion Bill as a matter of course. General S. Miles Green. This gentleman, as will be seen by his) letter published in another part of to•day's' Journal, declines being one of the Central Committee to humbug the WorkingmeH ut this county. The letter itself will, command the attention of the public, and it is unnecessary on our part to commend it specially to them. We know that Gen. GREEN is friendly to the Workingmen,) and at all times ready to do all in his pow. er to promote their true interests. And the Workingmen who are acquainted with him, and they are thousands, will know how to appreciate his opinions. For our part, we are pleased with the manner in which he treats the subject.

C REMER Dear Sir—[ observe that a " Workingmen's" Convention is called to meet at Alexandria on the 10th inst., and that my name is appended to the call, as one of the " county committee." lam constrained to say, that my name has been used without my knowledge or con sent,-1 have never been advised of, or consulted in. this matter at any time. But, whilst I thus disavow having had any participation in getting up this "Work ingmen's society" in this county, I am free to say that I am riot inimical to the best interests of the " Workingmen" in /his, or any other county, There are thousands who will bear testimony to my sincerity in this declaration. In Centre, my native county, I am known as the de. scendant of a Manufacturer, and one who through a long life, was ever warmly and strongly attached to the interests of the " Workingmen." In this county, my actions must speak for themselves. I consider the interests, and the policy lof the Manufacturer, the Mechanic, and the " Workingman," so closely identified, that they cannot be separated, without in jury and prejudice to all. There is a re ciprocity of interest existing amongst us, that the meanest capacity can discover at the first blush. But I need not dilate on this point. Politically speaking, lam not a sql °Hangman"! ! ! Who are the prom inent political Workinginen I Look at the record! Examine the acts of these wire workers: Our good citizens have been once caught, and have been taught a lesson I hope they will not soon forget,— " a burnt child dreads the fire:" What is the object of calling this pro posed "Workingmen's" Convention?— The Loco Focos (or Democrats, as they ,style themselves,) have held their meeting, preparatory to the fall -kctiong, The Whigs have had their deleg ate meeting also, and put in nomination aTicket whi:h 'is certainly unexceptionable. They are all good men and true. What more is required 1 unless it is to raise an opposi tion to both the nominations, or arrange ments, made by the Whigs and Loco Fo cos ? The Whigs in this county can have no opposition—they are too strong, both in principle and numerically. The Locos cannot oiler an opposition, unless aided by a third, or " Workingmen's Society."— Honest Mechanics—Laboi ers —Farmers, —Workingmen, look to this! May you' not be deceived, and induced to palsy the, hand that is extended to aid you? What is the policy of your Whig breth• ren ? Are they not all 7'ariff men,—Tar ill Protection—Tariff for Revenue?- 1 Are they not in favor of some National Institution to regulate our currency?-- whether it be called a" National Bank," a " Fiscal Agent," or a"Spinning Ginney"/ ,It matters not, so that it gives us a curren- 'cy similar to what we had before hostilities began against the old U. S. Bank. Are the Whigs not opposed to the odious shin plaster currency of the present clay? &re they not opposed to a reduction of wages to the starvation system of ten cents a day? Most truly they are. What more, then, let me repeat, do we want? But lam spinning out this declination of being one of the Workingmen's" committee, with out my own consent, too long. All I would add is, that I consider the policy of the Whigs, honestly carried out, that policy which alone can save our country from ruin. Let a third party beware how they oppose it. S. MILES GREEN. Barree Forge, Sept. Sil. 1842. Honor io whom honor is due. MR. EDI rTOR The last Watchman says The indefatigable exertions of cur Supervisor, 111 r. Woods, and the men employed deserve all praise for the speedy manner" in which the break immediately above our borough was repaired. Now, allow me just to say, through the (Journal, that if any praise is due any where it is to MR. BLACK and the. laborers, and not the Supervisor, who was absent and did not get near the break until just as it was mended. JUSTICE. Huntingdon, Sep. 6, 1842. Taxation and Labor. The Globe, in noticing the discussion upon the Tariff Bill, and its final passage in the Senate on Saturday, thus exclaims touching the duties : " Was there ever a country redeemed from pecuniary embarrassment by increas ing the taxes on the people? Can any sophistry disguise the absurdity of such a proposition?" . Certainly there was. The 'United li States—this very country, was redeemed from pecuniary embarrassments, from the very iegislation which the Globe calls an imposition of taxes the protection of home industry. The sophistry consists in arguments from the false data of the Globe. And the working men of the coun try, who will find employment should the Revenue Bill become a law, will settle the question with the Globe whether it is bet ter to be idle without taxation, or to be profitably industrious with it. The kind of taxation which the Globe thinks so very ruinous, is very like the collateral biller itance tax, which the heir, when he paid five pounds to get ten thousand tnoupt would be ruinous if he had many legacies. • --U. S. Gaz. In 1836 the State debts of all descrip tions, over the fundson hand, amounted to the sum of $3,939,431,82. At the pre sent time, the State debts over the funds on hand amount to at least twenty-four and a half millions of dollars. In 1836 the annual interests required to be paid by the State was about $lOO,OOO. Now the annual interests will be about one million three hundred and forty thousand dollars.
