The letter was not intended for the ' , public eye," but as some of our readers will be pleased to leara the opinions entertained of our candidate by his neigh , bore who ~ know him," we insert it in our columns. GRAINIIBURG, Mir& 15, 1844. Dear Sir—Your letter un der date of the 9th inst., to Mr. James Goodlin, of this place, was handed to me this morning, with a request by Mr. G. to reply to it. It is perhaps hardly necessary at this time, to state the facts distinctly to which you refer, in the mili tary character of Gen. Markle, as they will be fully set forth its the address of the Committee appointed for that purpose, which is advertised to meet here on the Wednesday the 20th inst. It may be well enough, however, to say, that the General, (then Captain) Markle, did offer to mortgage his property to raise the funds indispensable to carry his compa ny into active service ; and being refused, he pro cured endorsers on his own note, which was thrown into Bank and discounted, and the proceeds distri buted amongst his men. Three hundred dollars of the money advanced by the Quarter Master to purchase forage, hire bag gage wagon and pay other - incidental expenses on their toilsome march through the almost unbroken wilderness of Ohio, was saved by the prudent man agement of Gen. Markle ; and although by the terms of the contract with the Quarter Master he had a right to retain it as his own, yet in that spirit of honesty and self-denial, which has always been a distinguishing trait in his character, he divided it amongst his men ! ! He was foremost in the march to the Mississine wa town, and in the front and heat of the bloody battle fought upon the banks of the river of that name. Many of his brave men were killed and wounded; and it is confidently believed, that his own life was saved by his mounting a hay horse, (the first one he came across after the attack,) and leaving his own, (a gray one) for the use of the Quarter Master, whose duty did not require him to participate in the battle. After the repulsion of the assailants, he pursued, in company with one or two of his men, a couple of Indians, one of which he end his companion shot and cut down with their swords. They pursued the other Indian nearly three miles, but he finally escaped. It is well known, for it is part of the history of the country, that Gen. Markle distinguished himself at Port Meigs, as well as in every other situation in which he was placed daring the late war; but I agree with you lathe opinion, that all this will ndt shield him from the charge of cowardice and imbe- cility, so unanimously made against his bosom friend and companion in arms, the lamented son. History itself will be again, an it was then, perverted by the reckless and desperate set of poli ticians who support Mr. Van Buren ; and the fair fame of the purest patriots and beat men of the country must fall a sacrifice before the juggernaut of party. In pAvate life, no man in this community sus tains a more unblemished reputation. An parties concede to him the mead of great private worth— and his immediate neighbors, many of whom are opposed to him in politics, will give him their votes, because they know he is worthy. We make no calculations of majorities—a ape- cies of gull-trap to catch the timid and wavering— we ask no one to vote for him because ho will be on the strong side at the fall election—but we ask the friends of the brave here and elsewhere; the friends of our Institutions which were so relentlessly as sailed in 1840, to stand by them once more. We call upon the friends of free government to come once more to the rescue, and the Sentinel upon the Watch tower of the citadel of our Liberties will cry aloud " all's well." 1 Gen. Markle has naturally an iron constitution, which has been well preserved by his temperate habits of life. He reads much, is conversant with all that is passing around us; converses fluently upon most subjects, and is in every respect well qualified to be the Governor of Pennsylvania. But more of this hereafter. I will send you a copy of the address of our Committee. Excuse this hasty scrawl and believe me, sir, Your obedient servant, Daub-'treasury and No Distribution. A bill repealing the act of 1842 to distribute the proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands among the several States, was reported from the Committee of Ways and Means in Congress, by Mr. Doom -5001.0, and hurried through its several reading, and FISALLT Ragman. The Washington Standard has the following remarks upon the subject : " This could only be accomplished, as it was as under constant and repeated applica tion of the previous question, which was applied in every instance says one, the moment that it was in order, and thus all debate upon it (save one speech by Mr. STIWAUT, which he was enabled to make by catching the majority for a single instant otf their guard,) was cut off, and the minority com pelled to sit in silence, bound down and gagged by the P. Q., and we their rights outraged. " Such an application of the GAG was never be fore witnessed in any deliberative body in any civil ized or savage nation. Certainly a greater outrage upon the privilige of debate, and upon the rights of the minority, was never before committed in this country. The action of the majority was tyranni cal, arbitrary, insulting, unheard of, and disgraceful. Every member of that majority showed that they were prepared for it, drilled to it, and knew the parts they were to play in the game, not excepting the Speaker who played his part to a charm." The committee have ales reported a bill for the safe keeping and disbursement of the public moneys—in other words—"THE SUB-TREAS URY BILL." A motion to lay it on the table was lost by a vote of 100 nays to 82 yeas. What will the locofocos be at next 4,324 3,542 The New York Tribune says—" We believe we violate no rule of propriety in repeating the cur rent report that President Tyler is about to marry the elder Mies Gardiner, daughter of David Gardi ner, Esq., who was killed in the great calamity on board the Princeton." For Mc "Journal" Ma. EniToß I have just been looking over your paper and have seen something, wonderful at this enligitened day. Nothing less than seven pe titions to the "Judges of the Court of 'Quarter Sessions of the PIACI, to permit the sale of that which breaks the peace, leads to assault and battery, riots and blackest crimes,—to permit seven men to sell that which not only itself murders its victims -directly, but excites them also to bloody deeds of human butcheries, and thus crowds the trial list and makes employment for those same Courts of PEACE. Do you not think the Judges of the peace will feel their official dignity insulted by these petitions for permission to break the peace? Certainly it is very singular to petition peace makers to become peace brakers. The Bible declares, distinctly and positively, that "drunkards shall not inherit the kingdon of God." Then liquor sellers must people Hell I repeat it, liquor sellers people Hell!! and Jehovah answers in the Bible, in liebakkuk 2nd Chapter, sth verse, 4, wo unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to him and and 'naked' him drunken also?" Now can that man who signs a petition fora liquor license be a Christian? Would a Christian sign that which is the death-war rant of many ? Could he be a Christian and yet sign that which banishes souls to Hell? Would he not act the part of a hypocrite? Would he not be acting the part of Judas, by betraying the cause he pro fesses, and aiding that canes which opposes Religion almost as much as any thing else we can think of! Oh let him pause and think! Where can you find a person more like the trai tor Arnold, than he who belongs to the Temperance Society and yet signs a petition for a liquor license? Must not the foul word traitor be stamped in black characters upon the heart of such a man? Most certainly. And can there be the least spark of Patriotism in the breast of that man who assists in overrunnhie,his country with a foe more deadly, more desso:ating than millions of armed soldiers If there can, then we may almost suppose there has been once such a spark in the breast of that man who signs a petition for liquor license. But can such an individual be a Philanthropist? Can he even be a man ? Oh ye pillars who support and bear along upon your shoulders those persons who deal out death and destruction, when will ye pause and ponder? Where is your Christianity I Where is your Patriotism I Where is your Philanthropy I Where, yourmanhood? "By their fruits ye shall know them." Blood for Blood! J. From the ',Register." Mn. JoNies—ln looking over the columns of the first Pennsylvania Argue, the organ of the Demo cratic party, edited at Greensburg, Westmoreland county, since the nomination of Gen. Joseph Mar kle for Governor, we find the following announce ment : "The Whigs at their late State Convegtion nom inated Gen. Markle of this county, as that. candi date for Governor. He was chosen multi the 22d ballet, when the vote stood for Markle 69, Irvin 64." In this plain announcement of GM. Markle for Governor, we have strong and unequivocal proof of an important fact, that let other party presses de nounce Gen. Markle as a coward, destitute of good sense, unfit to preside over the affairs of the State, an obscure man, scarcely known beyond the limits of the township in which he resides, the Argus, the organ of the Democratic party in Gen. Markle's county, has not forgotten what is due to an esteem ed and worthy neighbor of different political senti ments, nor suffered party considerations to do gross injustice to the character of an honest and estimable citizen. Firm the decided as is the Argus in sup port of the nominee of the Loco Foco party, it dis dain. to support Henry A. Muhlenberg by vilifying and abusing Gen. Markle; it knows the old war rior and knowing him will not join the hue and cry of incompetency, cowardice and obscurity against Gen. Markle. At home, where Gen. Markle is best known, the press opposed to him by its honorable and dignified course, has given the lie :direct to all the charges which have been made against the old warrior. WISTMORILLND, U. I. Ship Princeton---Court of In quiry. The Naval Court of Inquiry, composed of Cap tains BOLTON, WICEvEn and Aumcx, appointed to investigate and report upon the circumstances connected with the late disastrous explosion on board the Princeton, have reported. We annex the concluding portion of the Official Report. "In regard to the mode of loading and firing on every occasion, and emphatically that which was followed by the explosion, it is established by the fullest proof, to the entire satisfaction of the Court, that every care and attention which prudence and professional capacity could dictate was observed.— No shadow of censure in this respect can be at tached to any officer or any of the crew of the Princeton. In regard to the conduct and deportment of the Captain and officers of the Princeton on the occa sion of the deplorable catastrophe which occurred on the 29th of February last, the Court feels itself bound to express the opinion, that in all respects they were such as were to be expected from gallant and well tried officers, sustaining their own personal character, and that of the service—marked with the most perfect order, subordination and steadiness. In conclusion, the Court is also decidedly of the opinion that not only was every precaution taken which skill regulated by prudence, and animated by the loftiest motives that could be devised to guard against accident; but that Capt. Stockton, Lieut. Hunt and Mr. King, the gunner, who had attended to and directed all the experiment., nod trials of those guns, exhibited only a due confidence in what they had witnessed, in placing themselves on every occasion, and particularly on that of the explosion, almost in contact with the gun, and in a position up• parently not only more dangerous than any other, but that which might rationally have been deemed the only perilous situation on board the vessel. 'rho Court having thus completed its business adjourned sine die (Signed) W. C. BOLTON, Pre,idcnt. ItICRARD S. COIL, Judge Advocate. The Nei , Tariff Bill. The annexed paragraphs, with the remarks of the National Intelligencer, intimating the possibility that the new Tariff bill may become a law, are calculated to inspire serious apprehensions among all friends of domestic protection. Why should this new scheme be thrust in to displace an existing system which has worked well? Why should the industrial interests of the country be put in danger and doubt just as they are beginning to revive and to gain strength under the beneficial shelter of a wise protective policy? Has not every objection urged against the present Tariff been refuted by actual results? It was said that it would prevent I revenue from coming into the Treasury—and be hold, there was never a better prospect of an abun dant revenue ! The protection which it extends to the various pursuits of American labor was &- Clued in 1842 to be unwisely discriminated—to be oppressive to some interests and inadequate for others. But what complaint has been heard con cerning all this? The price of cotton has risen and is likely still to rise. The South, then, has no rea sonto complain. There is no interest of the Nor thern, Western, or Middle States which has suffer ed from the operation of this present Tariff. We know of none that has not flourished under it. At this moment when the whole country is en joying art earnest Of the benefits of a sound pro tective system, a measure is brought forward to un settle every thing and to throw our whole Tariff policy again into confusion and uncertainty. And there are grave intimations that this new measure of further experiment upon the interests and for tunes of the people may be asopted. Can it be so? Is there a possibility of such a result? We will venture to believe that the hopes of some and the fears of others have given undue weight YO a suppo sition not founded in the actual tendency of probe bilities.—Balt. American. From the National Intelligence" The Tariff Bill.—We have stated to our rea - - ders our own opinion of the probable fate of the " Democratic" project introduced into the I louse of Representative. to overthrow the present protec tive and productive Tariff. It is difficult for us to believe that any party would, to effect mere party ends---,for the sake, that is to say, of aiding the cause of a favorite candidate for the Presidency— destroy a system working so benificially for both Government and people as the present Tariff of I duties on imports. This, we repeat, has been and still is our opinion; but it is due to fairness to say that there are others, possibly quite as well advised as ourselves who entertain a different impression; and lest we might lull our readers into a false se curity on a matter so important to all of them, we think it proper to state the fact. Amongst those who think differently from ourselves on the subject we perceive is the able and astute Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia North American. After stating the fact that "the bill is, with the sin gk exception of iron, more anti-tariff than even Mr. McDuffiea plan," he remarks, in regard to the pro bability of its passage as follows : "The Southern Democracy—to whom this ex torted compliment is 'yielded as the price of their continued adhesion to a candidate they do not like —are not a little confident that the measure can be carried. Not being in the habit of deceiving any body, I am on very unreserved terms with some of , thorn, and have known the progress of their expec tations during the preparation of the plan. They are persuaded that they have shaped a very skilfull bill, which their Northern allies must support in good faith, so that it will easily pass the House; while there will be a - number of Whig votes from the South which must be given it, so that it will get through the Senate also." Of the same tenor as the letter just quoted is the following from the correspondent of the New York Herald: WASUINGTON, March 11, 1844, 11 will again state, and with great caution, that the balance of probabilities is,that the tariff bill reported to the Rome, will b pawed by the Sen ate. I say it on the authority of the opinions of some of the most judicious Senators. There is mom apprehension that Wright and Buchanan will vote against it than some of the Whigs, as for ex ample, Messrs. Mangum, Berrien, Rives and Ar cher. I cannot, however, easily believe that Mr. Wright would so desperately jeopardise the interests of Mr. Van Buren at the South as to vote against the bill, notwithstanding he (Mr. Buchanan) voted in favor of the tariff of '42. But they voted for it as the only alternative for no revenue—a reason which will not prevent them from voting in favor of a more democratic tariff. Burks County Dank.---Over Issue of Relief Notes. The Committee on the Judiciary System, to whom was referred the subject, have investigated the over issue of Relief Notes by the above Bank, and made a report on the 11th instant. The over issue amounts to $30,000. The report states that it was found impossible to ascertain the exact condition of the Bank, but that it is wholly insolvent. In relation to the over issue of Relief Notes, the Committee exonerates the Governor and the public officers from all participa tion in the over issue, and throw the blame entirely on the President and Cashier of the Bank—impli cating the Cashier in a modified form. The ma jority of the Committee are not prepared to say that the Commonwealth should redeem the notes over issued, but suggest that suits be brought against the President and Cashier, who they say, are crimi nally and civilly liable for the misdemeanor. The report is accompanied by a bill to prevent similar offences, making those guilty of them hereafter liable to imprisonment in the Penitentiary. EMIT Trmss.—N. P. Willis, in a late letter to the National Intelligencer, rays: "The times are ' easy,' if we can judge by the articles that find plenty of buyers. I heard yester day that a shop-keeper in Broadway had imported several Ladies' dresses, priced at 1000 dollars each, and had no difficulty in selling them. Mr. Weeks, a large cabinet manufacturer informed me that, of a certain kind of very costly chair he could not keep one unsold! It was certainly a superb article, made of carved rosewood and purple velvet ; (for a single Asir) one hundred and fifty dollars." Cr A writer in the Nashua Telegraph, says,— " I do not blame an Englishman for loving England, but an American who prefers English labor and English manufacture to American, to that made at his own door and by his own neighbors, is at least an American with English feelings, and should ex pect honors from England, if he g•ts them any where." And n•e my so 1,,c, Definition of "Tree Trade." The following extract is from a speech of Mr. Cxat, delivered in the Senate in 1832, In defence of the American System. It very clearly defince free trade, according to the theory of certain poli ticians: When gentlemen have eucceeded in their de sign of an immediate or gradual destruction of the American System, what is their substitute 1 Free Trade! Free Trade! Tho call for free trade is as unavailing as the cry of a spoiled child in its nurse's arms for the moon or stars that glitter in the firmament of heaven. It has never existed, it never will exist. Trade implies at least two parties. To be free, it should be fair, equal and reciprocal. But if we throw our ports wide open to the admission of foreign productions, free of all duty, what ports of any foreign nation shall we find open to the free admission of oar surplus produce/ We may break down all barriers to free trade on our part, but the work will not be complete until foreign powers shall remove theirs. There would be freedom on one side, and restrictions, prohibitions, and exclu sions on the other. The bolts, and bars, and the chains of all other nations will remain undisturbed. It is indeed possible that our industry and commerce would accommodate themselves to the unequal and unjust state of things; for such is the flexibility of our nature that it bends itself to all circumstances. The wretched prisoner incarcerated in a jail, after long time becomes reconciled to his solitude, and regularly notches down the passing days of his confinement. "Gentlemen deceive themselves; it is not. free trade that they are recommending to your accep tance. It is, in effect, the British colonial system that we are invited to adopt; and if their policy prevail, it will lead substantially to the re-coloniza tion of these States into the commercial dominion of Great Britain."

The Address, The Westmoreland Intelligeneer of the 22nd inst says :—Tho Address of the Committee ap pointed to address the people of the Commonwealth, on the subject of Gen. Markle'e nomination to the office of Governor, came to hand too late for in sertion in this week's paper. It will appear in our next. As the Indian formerly roamed over the mountains of Peru, unconscious of the vast wealth that lay hidden beneath its surface; so, till lately, have we strolled through our native forests, igno rant of the fact that they contain ingredients which, in hands skilled by study and experience, form by far the most efficacious remedy for all kinds of Pul monary and Liver affections known to the world; yet this is true. Wild Cherry bark and Tar have indeed, been used before, but their virtues could not be fully appreciated, because they wore not fully extracted. Dr. Wistar has done this—and his Balsam of Wild Cherry (which contains also an extract of Tar) is astonishingevery body, especially the M.
