VIATOR. Muhlenberg at Home. . _ The York Republic an Lys :—" The 7 Alt Berk., or Stern im Osten,' a German Locofoco paper of large circulation and great influence, published in Reading—not only refuses to support !Actium.. for Governor, but pours hot shot into him in every number. It declares that Shunk was the choice of the party, and that Muhlenberg's nomination was obtained by intrigue and corruption. Thia is a bad sign of the Ex•parson at home--in " Old Berks, the Star in the East." The Locofocoa are doomed to ho disappointed in the great majority of 6000 which they expect from Berks. Another indication that .‘ there is something rot ten in the State of" Berks, is seen in the abandon ment of Col. Hugh Lindsey, of the Locofoco party. The Col. has been a Locofoco of the deepest dye-- he went it strong against banks and rag money, and was carrying out the professed principles of the party. He has discovered however that the leaders were only humbugging the people. In his letter announcing his determination, he says: " In regard to H. A. Muldenberg, I cannot sup port him. As a neighbor I love him, but I am bound to love my country better; he is one of the Van Buren stamp, his nomination was received on the 4th of March in a manner that I cannot for a moment believe that any honest democrat of the Jefferson School can or will support him. That worthy may pretend to be a Jefferson Democrat, so might Satan pretenp to be a Christian; but we are not bound to believe at this late day in their demo cracy and their love of country--their love of mam mon is the leading trait of their democracy. ss I,ook back for a moment upon the leading ad vacates of Van Buren and Muhlenberg, how they did traduce Gen. Harrison anal Capt. John ter in the late Presidential Campaign. But as quick as the demise of the lamented Harrison, how quick were those worthy patent democrats on their knees supplicating for the contents of the Sub-treasury ; and now you can behold with almost magic power, that Capt. John Tyler's Cabinet is filled up with staunch Van Buren men of the horse and leech order. Consistency thou art a jewel!! Friends, if it were possible for our beloved Jefferson to conic back for a moment from his silent grave, and look upon those pretended disciples of his democratic principles, no doubt it would cause him to weep to sce his principles so degenerated in the hands of these demagogues; and bellying thus, my friends, I ant morally bound before God my maker, and my fellow countrymen, to support those num principles and measnres, which I humbly believe to he for the benefit and welfare of our common country. "Believing as I do. that the Whig party is at this time the real Democratic party of Pennsylvania —and I enlist with a warm and patriotic heart in the country's just cause—and in regard to the nom ination, I consider it a good one; Gen. Issuer M ill K., of Westmoreland county, is a man fresh frosts she people, and no way intlentitied with the 1 corruptible influences of David R. Porter or his ad ministration, or John Tyler's Custom !louse influ once. Gen. Markle the patriot, when the country was invaded by the savage anal British foe. left his home, his dear wife and children, with sword in hand, willing to sacrifice his life and money for his 1 country and the western citizens." Mr. Polk Presented by a Grand Jury The New York Courier says that while Mr. Polk was Governor of Tennessee, instead of attending to the duties of the office and acting under the re straint which his position would have imposed up on hitn if he had been a titan of the slightest deli cacy, he took occasion on the 4th of July, 1840, at a public meeting of the locofocos at Knoxville, Tennessee, to nominate himself for re-election! and he forthwith proceeded to open the campaign in person, and bring to bear upon the issue all the gubernatorial influence with which he was invest ed. The people of that section thinking that this was not part of the duty for which he had been elected, expressed their censure very freely, and finally the Grand Jury at the Sevier Ct u..ty Court presented the Governor as follows: The Executive of our State, hem K. Pour, instead of being found at his post, executing the laws, devising means of improving the deplorable condition of the country, and of restoring it to the prosperity it has lost—he, our Governor, is found traversing the State, conducting an electioneering campaign, for the elevation of others and to keep in train the tiyatein which is no oppressive, and in pow er the rulers who ask for power at such a price. "This we present as a mot actiona grievance, a derelic.ion of duty—an evil example to others who may be prompted to do the like, and which in the end will prove the overthrow of our free institu tion., &c. &c. JAMES SEATON, Foreman of the Grand Jury." The Grand Jury of the nation will take a similar liberty with Pour next fall. He was nominated in a "disorderly house," obtained its vote under " false pretences" and will be indicted es a " Burner" by the people. j Ae an evidence of how obscure and little known the Locofoco nominee for President is, even among hi. own party. Philadelphia papers mention, that at the "Democratic Head Quarters," in that city, the other day, a flag was suspended with Jas. R., instead of James K. Polk ! 1 JAMES K. POLK AND THE TARIFF. Hu Opinions against Protection and for FREE TRADE EIBSMIII:2LILIUEII3D29 After reading the following correspondence, no Pennsylvanian who is truly at heart a Tariff man —no Protective Tariff man—no friend of the Tar iff of 1842, which is already covering the whole country with blessings—will think for one moment of giving his vote and influence to elevate JAMES K. Poue to the Presidential Chair of this Union. The mechanic—the laboring man—who votes for the Tennessee Free Trader, when his opposition to the protection of Home Industry is thus made clear and undisputed, " puts a knife to his own throat," and tries to elevate to office one who, when the power is in his hands, will use it to prostrate the Free White Laborer of the Country, to subserve the "INTERESTS OF THE PLANTING STATES." To the Editors of the National latelligeneer : Hovel OF }lgen. ENTATI v Es, May 30,1844. Messrs. GAL. & ScsToN The interest which I feel, in common with the citizens of Pennsylvania, on the subject of the Tara and the protection of American labor, induced me to make an inquiry of Gen. Halms relative to the views of Col. POLK, the recently nominated candidate for the Presiden cy, on the subject of the Tara. His answer to that inquiry, which he has been sogood as to furnish me in writing this morning, presents the facts in rela- tion to Col. Pot.n.'s views on this all-absorbing topic in such an important light, that I respectfully ask for them from the people of Pennsylvania and the whole Union that attention which they deserve, and I have no doubt will receive; and I therefore re quest you to do the the favor to publish the enclos ed letter of Gen. HARDIX. Very respectfully, yours, &c• JAMES IRVIN. Col. Z. R. Polk and the Tariff: To THE HIM JAMES luvls , OF PENNSYLVANIA. Sin: Upon the announcement of Jos. K. Pour. on yesterday as the nominee of the Baltimore Con vention for President, which equally astonished Whigs and Locos, you inquiringly asked, What are his opinions on the Tarier" According to the promise then given, I proceed to answer your inquiry. Mr. Pout is, and claims to be, a consistent opponent of a Protective Tariff; has advocated the principle of tree trade, substen. (laity; in 1833 was for restoring the tariff to the rates prescribed by the tariff of 1816; and has been a bitter reviler of the Whig tariff of 1942 ; is for its repeal; and is in fuvor of returning to the hori zontal 20 per cent. rates of duty which prevailed at the time of the passage of the tariff of 1842. In the session of 1832—'33, Mr. POLE was a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, which reported a bill (which did not pass) greatly reducing the duties below those adopted by the tar iff act of the proceding session, (Tariff of 1832.) He made a lengthy speech its favor of the proposed bill, and against the protective system, which will be found in Congressioird Debates, vol. 9, pages 1162 to 1175. As a specimen of the views pre sented in that speech, I will quote a few short extracts: "It appears from this testimony that the duties upon woollens (now fifty per cent.) may not only he reduced, but that twenty-five per cent. will be a sufficient pratedi‘w, :: a corres ponding reduction on the raw material, and the duty be fully and fairly collected; and that the nianulltc tureen of cottons, and especially of coarse cottons, would he able to continue their business prwitabie at the reduced duty ef twelcc and a hay per cent. on the rival foreign article." • • • • -1 propose nett to establish, by testimony equal ly entitled to credit, the third proposition, which is, that the manufacturers of the United Status were in a prosperous condition under the act of 1816, and for the eight ,years intervening between the years 1816 and 1824, and also that the act of 181.6 afforded theta unipk incidental prolection."— [Cong. Debates, vol. 9, page 1,170.] "The wool-growers consider the duty upon for eign wool as important to their prosperity. This opinion, I apprehend, is founded in error. Very little wool of the middling quality, such as we pro duce, is imported. The kinds chiefly imported are either the course South American wool, costing eight cents and under the pound, or the fine Saxo ny wool, costing more than a dollar the pound, neither of which we do produce, or if we do, to a (.very limited extent." • • • • My own opinion is that wool should be duty free; but no wool-growers think otherwise, •.ve have retained a duty of fifteen per rent. upon the inipor ted article."—[Con. Debates, vol. 9., p. 1174.] ' - In relation tothe tariff of 1912 we are at no loss for his opinions. Mr. POLK was a candidate for Governor in Tennessee in 1843, (in which race, you know, he was a second time defeated by a large majority,) and during the canvass he permitted no opportunity to escape him to denounce that tariff in the most bitter terms. In response to an inquiry whether he " approved of such a tariff as would give protection to home industry against foreign in dustry," he answered, as i am informed by gentle. men who are perfectly familiar with his views, an given on the stump and in his circular, that he was opposed to the principle of pro tection. His answer to this and other interrog atories will be published as soon as they can be pro cured from Tennessee. Fortunately, however, I am at no loss for an au thentic document which presents Col. POLK'S views of the tariff of 1842. I have before me the "Sy nopsis of Gov. Polk's speech to the people of Ma dison and the adjoining counties, delivered at Jack son, on Monday, the 3d of April. 1843," printed in parnph:et form, and written out for publication by Gov. Pout. From it I quote the following extracts: "Ile took other views, briefly presented, of the subject, and proceeded to the discussion of the pro tective tariff act passed by the lost Congress. Ho showed that it was a highly protective tariff, and not one for revenue. He showed that, by the com promise tariff act of 1833, the tax on no imported article wart to exceed 20 per cent. upon its value af ter the 30th June. 1842. No hither tax than 20 per cent. woo imposed on any article after the 30th of June, 1842, until the 30th of August, 1842, on which latter day the present tariff law was passed by the Whig Congress. Tho Whig Congress laid violent hands on the compromise act of 1833, and broke it up." "It was clear, therefore, that the late tariff act was not a revenue measure. It had raised the rates of duty so high as to shut out imports, and conse quently to cut off and diminish rmnue." "Judging from the amount of revenue received at the Treasury, under the operations of the present tariff act, for the last quarter el 1942, as already shown, it will not produce annually half the amount of revenue which would have been produced by the lower rates of the compromise act, had that act been left undisturbed.' " He was opposed to direct lazes, and to prohibi tory and productive duties, and in favor of such moderate duties as would not cut oif importations. IN 0771E1? WORDS, HE WAS IN FAVOR OF REDUCING 771 E DUTIES 7'o THE RATES OF 771 E COMPROMISE AC7; WHERE THE WHIG CONGRESS FOUND THEM ON THE Nth OF JUNE, 1842." " The South, and he with them, had voted for the act of 1832 because it was a reduction of the rates of the act of 1828, though by no means so low as he would have desired it to be; still it was the greatest reduction which could be attained at the time of its passage." •. THE DIFFEIIENCE RE TWEEN THE COURSE OP THE POLITICAL PARTY WITH W RICH HE (1111 3.ln.Tuy ACTS AND :11YSELP IS, WHILST TI/EY 4RE THE ADVOCATES OF DISTRIBUTION A ND A PROTEC TIVE 7.4111 F- -M EA SURE.% IV NCH I CONSIDER RUINOUS TO THE INTERESTS OF /WE' 001I,N VII', AND ESPEC IA LY 7'o THE INTERESTS OF THE PL AN TING STATES—! HAVE STEADI LY AND /IT ALL TIMES OPPOS ED BOTH." The extracts conclusively prove the hostility of Col. Pout to the protective policy, which he con siders, "ruinous to (he country, especially to the planting States." That is a sufficient argument with him. He therefore is now for " reducing the duties to the rates under the compromise act, where the Whig Congress found them on the 30th June, 1842;" and Gov. PoLtt himself shows that " the tax on no imported article was to exceed twenty per cent. upon its value after the 30th of June, 1842." Then it is clearly seen that he is for a nonizoNTAL TAMtu of twenty per cent., with dis criminations (if any are made) below even that rate. I pass by, without comment, the far-seeing states manlike predictions of Gov. Pock, that the tariff of 1842 ..had raised the rates of duty so high as to shut out imports, and consequently to cut off and diminish revenue." The subsequent increase of oath imparts and revenue under this tariff have given such a fulfillment to this prophecy as must forever immortalize Col. Polak as a wonderful pro phet ! During the consideration of the tariff of 1842, as the revenue proth.ced by the twenty per cent. duties of the compromise act were altogether inadequate to defray the expenditures of the Government, a proposition was made to lay a duty on tea and cof fee, for which a number of the Whigs in Congress voted, in order to increase the revenue and redeem the sinking credit of the Government. Col. Po. seized upon this vote to give castigation to those Whigs who had voted for this proposition. This called forth a response from the Hon. MILTON BROWN, of Tennessee, and led to a political discus einn ae Judsovat, avlacto COI. rout tie livered the speech above referred to. He was most triumphantly answered by Mr. M. BnowN, who clearly demonstrated that the bill of 1833, reported j by the Committee of Ways and Means, of which I Col. Po. w,,g r tr.-10,r, (arid in favor of which he made the speech first quoted from,) proposed to impose a duty of twenty per cent. on tea and coffee. At the time this propositon was made tea and cof fee were entirely free of duty ; and another striking fact appears from Col. PoLit's speech in 1833, that the Government then had "six millions of reve nue from the impost more titan toe need."—[Con. Debates, vol. ix, page 1174.] Yet, notwithstanding such was the admitted fact, Col. Po. voted against a proposition to strike out lea and crece from the proposed bill, so as to continue them free front duty.—[Journal House of Representatives 1842-'3, pp. 390 and 391.] But this subject was so ably handled, and Col. Po.'s ad captandum objection so thoroughly exposed by Mr. Mows in his re sponse to Col. Por.tt on that occasion at Jackson, Tennessee, that I must beg to call your attention to jthe extracts from his remarks which I here append:. and I do so the more earnestly as it gives an insight into some of the traits of character of the newly- • made candidate of the Locofocos fur the Presidency. j Coinciding as Col. Po. does in opinion with Mr. CALHOUN and the ultra-tariff-free-trade men of the South in his views on the tariff it is not surpri sing that they should have been willing to compro j mists on Min, nor is it at all astonishing to hear that Messrs. Prcaays and ELMORE, the ministers plen ipotentiary from South Carolina to Baltimore, al though refusing to participate in the proceedings of the Convention, yet, when the nomination was made, rose up in the Convention and pledged the Ivote of S. Carolina for Col. POLK. And it now only remains to be seen whether that large portion of the Democratic party who believe in the policy and pro priety of bestowing fair protection upon American industry, will consent to be handed over without notice or consultation to the support of a free-trade horrizontal-tariff advocate, who is the makeshift candidate of the Baltimore Convention. Respectfully, yours, JOAN J. HARDIN, of Illinois. W►su[aororr, MA! 30, 1844. " As the extracts here referred to would occupy more space than we can spare to-day, they are re served for publication in another paper. MURLENRERG ' S UNPOPULARITY IN BERRA.- The Editor of the Miner's Journal states that be had the assurance of a gentleman conversant with the fact, that in one district in Berks County, which generally polls about 200 votes—of which number the Whig party usually has front 28 to 30, Mulen berg will not receive more than TWO votes, and even these two are considered doubtful. Almost every day we hear of prominent Locofocoa avowing their determination to oppose him. (0- The Loco nomination for President is received in every direction by the Whigs, as the beet joke of the season—the poor Locos try hard to brave it out as a capital result, but it is evident that they consider it as the last throe of their motley party. Mr. Dallas and the "Fountains from which he imbibed his Principles. The Pennsylvanian of yesterday contained an article laudatory of tisonen M. DALLAS, in which we find the following: 1. The present Mr. Dallas was almost born in the atmosphere, and he was entirely educated and forni,d in the maxims of these great men (Jeffer son. Madison, Gallatin, Brent, Giles, Nicholas, Livingston, McKean, &c.) Imbibing his political principles from such fountains, they have been in dellible to him. They make part of his nature.— He never had any other principles. From them he has never swerved. The leopard could as soon change his spats. In youth, in manhood, in mature life, abroad or at home, he has been devoted to them from conviction and practiced them as a duty." This we deny, as a base libel on the master spir its of the pure republican age—as a foul calumny on those whose names are interwoven with our national fame, puriety and honor! Froin whatever fountains Geom. M. DALLAS may have imbibed Iris political principles in early life--however pure they may have been originally, they have been sadly polluted in after years. We have seen chemical experiments where a perfectly pure liquid having been adulterated with but a single drop of another liquid, the entire mass immediately becomes black and muddy—so with Mr. DAm.vs—loeofocoism touched the pure doctrines which lie early imbibed. and since then his principles have been muddy, im pure and unwholesome. Which of the mighty fountains contained the germ of the following sen timents?— which was the pure stream whose wat ers contained the embryo of such principles as Mr. DALLAS but a sew years ago announced in a fa mous, or rather in-famous letter of his l Read and answer, are these the principles of Jefferson, Gil., Madison and Gallatin, or the foetid masma which exhaled from the cispool of Fanny Wrightism or I Tammany Hall Locofocohnn ? Hear Mr. Dallas! WlLit may a Convention not do ? It m.y Er-organize our social existence, ter iinatina and prim, ibing what it deemed injurimiA, and establisliiin t what it prefer lA. It might restore the institittion cf slorery awing us ; it might make u penal code as bloody as that if Dracco ; it might withdraw the charters ol our citizens; it might sup, cede a standing Judiciary by a scheme of omisional wmp , roge ; it might prohibit curtain professions or trades ; it might permanently suspend the privilege of a writ o/ habeas corpus and take from us (lei right of trial by jury" We ask again is it not a base libel, a foul cal umny to say that the principles of Guilt.: M. DALLAS are those of the early and venerated foun ders of the republican school? Would not such senthuents as are contained in the above extract. have poisoned and polluted the whole " attnos phere" it which it is boastfully said he was born and educated !—Forunt. Mr. Polk and the Tariff. The Democratic Union, in its peculiarly chaste and characteristic manner, takes exception to an ar ticle in our last paper, designating a Mr. Polk, ns 0 an open and avowed Free Trade Theorist," and denounces the charge as a gratuitous assertion, un supported by authority. The editor goes on to de ny the charge and says: Now we happen to know, and state upon the authority of a Tcnnesseean with whom we conver sed at Baltimore—a near neighbor of Col. Polk-- that he holds the doctrine of Free Trade in unqual ified abhorrence. He never had advocated it, and never will. He is in favor of a judicious revenue tariff, affording the amplest incidental PROTEC TION TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY. He is the especial friend and advocate of the COAL & IRON INTERESTS. the too great objects of so licitude with Pennsylvaninns, and believing perma nence in our laws to he of incalculable value, is op posed to the disturbance of the existing larff" Now we happen to have the authority at hand to sustain our assertions, and to prove that the Union. notwithstanding the authority of the Tennesseean,' grossly misrepresents the position of Mr. Polk upon the Tariff question. First, we give , the declaration of Mr. PAYNE. a leading Locofoco member of Congress, and an inti mate personal friend of Mr. Polk, who M perfectly conversant with his opinions on this subject, uttered on the floor of the blouse of Representatives no lon ger ago than on the 3d inst. A debate of a polit ical character arose in the House, when Mr. Mou nts of Pa., expressed his gratification that in the selection of a candidate for President, the opposite party had named an individual who was opposed to the protective policy, and in favor of Free Trade. He was rejoiced that the issue was fairly made. Mr. PAYNE, of Ala., obtained the floor, and ex pressed his joy that a candidate had at length been presented to the American people WHO WAS OPPOSED 'CO THE INFAMOUS DOCTRINE OF PROTECTION! Mr. P. believed their was no power in the country to Protect American industry. Mr. MORRIS desired to know if Gov. Polk was opposed to the Tariff of '421 Mr. Parse took pleasire in stating THAT HE WAS, AND THAT HE THOUGHT NO TAR IFF SINCE 1828 SO ODIOUS AS THIS. Here may be raised to be sure, a question of ve racity between the Democratic Union! and Mr. I'ayne. The Union asserts that Mr. Polk is in fa vor of protection—Mr. I'ayne says that he is not. The Union says that Mr. Polk is in favor of the present Tariff—Mr. Payne says he is opposed to it, and regards it as ODIOUS ! But scondly, we have better authority still for our assertion, and that is no less than the authority of JAMES K. Pout himself! In 1943 he was a can didate for Governor of Tennessee, in which contest lie was beaten the second time by the gllant JONES. During this canvass he repeatedly in his speeches DENOUNCED THE PRESENT TARIFF in the bitterest terms, and avowed himsel distinctly OPPOSED TO THE PRINCIPLE OF PRO 'T'ECTION ! For proof of this we refer to ex tracts from some of the speeches given in a letter in another column of this day's paper, from Jou9 J. HARDIN, of Illinois. to Gen. JAM. IRVIN. It will be seen by those extracts that our assertions so far from being gratuitous, are sustained by such au thority as the Union dare not disparage, and will in vain attempt to explain away. The people of Pennsylvania will repudiate James K. Polk, as they will any and every candidate who is opposed to this great cardinal measure of their prosperity.—Penn sylvania Intelligeneer. Van Buranism and Polkofocracy.
