(0` We again remina our readers that to-morrow
(Ittratlay, 37th Nov.) is the day appointed by
the Governor of this Cornmonwr alth to be observed
zui a day of general Thanksgiving and Praise.
The past season, though causing great appresension
of dearth, has been ono of prosperity, enabling the
husbandman to gather an abundant harvest—the
manufacturer and everi class of industry to reap
an abundant reward for toil—our civil and refigieua
Metiutione have been flourishing—and peace hoe
dwelt upon the State and Nation. As Christians
and grateful people, it becomes us to set apart tit
least one day in the year as a day of Thanksgiving
and Praise to Him from whom all these blessings
flow. We therefore hope that our citizens will ab
stain from all secular employment on that day, and
devote themselves to the purposes designated by
the Chief Executive officer of the State.

The Tariff.
cy.The Standard is out fairly in opposition to
the Tariff of 1842, as ii is, and complains that
*ems article. are taxed so high that tho act as it
stands has become burtheneome to the people.
Now we would ask, in all seriousness; where the
complaint corn. fronil Who among us, com
plains of the oppressive operations of this !awl We
answer, no one. It is not the people of Pennsyl
vania, but the Polk Administration that ask for a
change in the Tariff act of '43, governed a. that
administration appear. to be by the Southern free
trade men. Tho truth is, the tocofeco !nee.' df
this Sta4e are is a dilemma in regard to the position
of their "better Tariff man than Mr. Clay," and
they hardly know how to get out of it. On this
subject we give the following from the U. S. Ca
sette of Thursday:—There are curious movements
lit this State, relative to the tariff, and the Polk par
ty are at fault as to the comae they should take.
They know well enough that while: the free trade
won of the city went for Mr. Po'lt as a free trade
man, the working and tariff people of the country
were invited to voie for him as a friend of a pro
teethe tariff. Now the organ denounces protection,
and the Polk party is running about to have tile
voice of the State speak in favor of protection.
Some of the papers remember their allegiance to
Mr. Polk, and denounce portions of the tariff a.
oppressive, by their excessive protection, and thus
requiring reduction, but no augmentatien.—Othere
get on the other side, and think that there should
be an increase of certain duties, but no diminution;
and some go for increase without diminution, and
diminution without increase—a proof that party
relations, opposed to correct principles, have con
fused the ideas of these people, and made them poor
advisers of the government, and poor exponents of
the whales of the people. The country ie prosper
ing beyond all precedent, and has before it years of
prosperity, if no disturbing influences are allowed.
New Counties.
The last Reading Gazette has a long and well
written editorial on the subject of new counties,
from which wo extract the following truthful re•
marks:—"At every session of our Legislature, there
aro petitions presented from all quarters of the
State for the erection of new Counties. Thee° for
the must part originate in a few interested individ
uals who inhabit some inconsiderable town, and
ore anxious to add to the value of their property, or
increase their business, by having it made a county
seat. In nine cases out of ten, we will venture to
say that neither the necessity nor convenience of
any portion of the inhabitants of a county require
that it should be cut up, or that portions should be
separated from it, to form another and a smaller
territorial district.

The Whig Party- is Duty.
Congress will assemble in lees than two week.
from this date. The sesa , on will be one of pecu
liar interest, as deyelor;;ing the policy of the new
administration upott the great leading question. of
National concern. First and foremost amongst
these, is the Tariff. The indications from head
quarters, ore clearly that this measure is to encoun
ter Itte most decided opposition from Mr. Polk and
Vs Democratic administration, and it becomes an
interesting question as to what course the Whigs
should pursue in the premises. The Lexington
Observer has some judicious remarks on this sub
ject, which we append. The Observer says, "let
the Whigs adhere to the act of 1842." "It has
I given unprecedented prosperity to all the great in
terests, as well as the geograVhical divisions of the
Union, and ought not to be tampered with—" Let
well enough 'lotto."
"If the wcollen,'cotton, or iron manufacturers are
to be assaulted—if the growth of sugar is to be dih
comaged or entirely suspended, according to Mr.
McDuffie's views and plan, and tea and Coffee, and
'other non-produced articles taxed, simply for rev
'enue; Why let those who defeated, by falsehood
and fraud, the great Father of the American sys
tem, bear the whole undivided responsibility. Let
the partners in the monstrous Bwlndle imposed on
Pennsylvania and the other Tariff States quarrel
and fight, modify and amend, as 'much as they
please, but let not the Whigs participate in the one
or the other. Adhering to end voting for their
principles, whenever (blind to act on the subject—
let them remain silent and passive, and hold the
conspirators responsible for all the wrongs they
Ihave committed or injuries they may inflict on 'a
confiding and deluded people.
Already have the impostors in Pennsylvania be
come alarmed, and called upon the Whigs to help
i them save the Tariff. Aye, to save the Tariff!!
and from whom? From their own President and
his privy 'council—from the author of the Kane let
ter and his right hated man, the manager of the
Presidential canvass from head-quarters, Robert J.
Walker. of Mississippi. True, they swore before
1 the election, that Polk was a better Tariff man than
Clay. Bidlack and other Locofoco orators bellow
ed forth tl:is broad ass.ertion everywhere to the peo
ple, and Bidlack hae been rewarded by a fat foreign
mission; and yet they have the shameless effrontery
to call on the Whigs ~ to help them or they sink."

Again, we say to the Whigs, atond to your arms,
never abincidii your measures or your men, but do
ndi enter into the flight on the one aide or the oth

cj. Father Miller hae commenced lecturing
again, and he now affirms that the curtain will
drop upon the theatre of this mundane sphere in
1847. Notwithstanding we believe in the doctrine
that "error of opinion may be tolerated, while rea

fanatic might occupy a small nook in a lunatic
asylum with no inconsiderable advantage to him•
self and to the public.
We have received the first number of the
"Lancaster County Fermet,and American Literary
Gazette," published in Lancaster city, by Ezz

not surpassed by any publication or the kind we
have seen, This paper deserves a liberal support
from those to whose interests it is devoted.
ej.The locofoco scheme of getting up Native
American parties has, so far, failed. In Philadel
phia county, where it turned against themselves,
they have succeeded in bringing their own people
back, leaving it to the care of the Whigs whom
they had enticed into its support. In New York
we see the same reault—a decreased vote of 16,500
in one year.—At the last December election in
Donlon, the Native candidate received 3861 votes.
At the recent election fur Governor, they polled but
1873, showing a loss within the lust eleven months
of 1388 votes. This must assuredly satisfy every
honest and upright well wisher to the principles
avowed by that party, that a separate organization
is not the plan to insure success, but that it is ne
cessary to this end, that they attach themselves to
one of the great political parties of the country, and
by acting with them, carry the influence of their
principles into the party. The Abolitionists in
England never formed a party. Their leaders
were too wino—too single minded and sincere in
their purpose, which they never could attain in
that way, but they joined with the \A pigs of Eng
land—thus giving that party sufficient power for
the purpose, and, into that party infused its own
will. The result was success.—Piileburg Ameri

The editor. of the National Intelligencer say
they "are satisfied, by concurrent information from
Vera Cruz, by way of Pensacola, New Orleans,
and New York, that the Executive of the United
State. ha. actually made advances to the Govern
ment of the Republic of Mexico for an amicable ad
justment of the differences between the two coun
hie., offering, should Mexico accept the overture,
to .end a Minister Extraordinary to Mexico for
that purpose; at proceeding which we approve as
heartily as we have diaproved the alternative which
the Executive appears to have had under conaidor
ation, of taking the way the French took' to adjust
our differences with that power." They add:
' , lle Mexican Government is said to propose,
or to consent le, a renewal of diplomatic relations,
and to negotiations, as well concerning the boun
dary between the two countries, as the claims of
the citizens of either on the other. Preliminary to
which, the withdrawal of the American naval forces
from before Vera Cruz is said to be asked: a re
quest with which we presume there can be no hes
itation on the part of our Government to comply.
Further information is also said to have been re
' ceived concerning the payment of the instalments
due to citizens of the United States in April and
July of last year under the Mexican treaty: being
those instalments the payment of which heretofore,
our readers will recollect, has been the subject of
assertion and denial between the agents of the two
Governments."

tons animal, as Dr. Locke believes, coeval in exis

at the last double tooth and expands further back
to 91 inches, from which the Dr. infers that the an

eight times its weight. He also infers from the'

IWBLifcftOF A MA IL,
The mail pouch for New York and
Philadelphia, made up at Albany on the
11th instant, was robbed on its way to
New York city. It was exceedingly val
uable, containing drafts of banks to the
amount of 5120000. It was not in
charge of a mail agent, and the person
whose duty it is to take therif from the
boat, on her arrival at New York, to the
Post-Office, found the mail bags lying on
the deck of the boat, the officer in whose
rooms they were usually placed fur safe

them on the deck, instead of retaining
them in his room, and delivering them to
