OrWe have been requested by our carrier to
esy, that he will pay the patrons of the Journal a
visit early on N YEAR ' . morning. We hope
be may be kindly received. The song which the
young gentleman has thrown together fer the

worth what is usually given to the carrier on the

cc - r President Polk has nominated the Hon, G.
W. Woodward, of this State. to be a Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United States. This nom
ination has been universally approved, by both par
ties, in this itteredian. A meeting of the members
of the Ilar, of this place, was held on Saturday
evening last, and resolutions passed approving of
the nomination in the strongest terms; they may be
seen in another column. These resolutions, com
ing as they do from the members of a Bar second
to none, in point of Intellect, in the State, and all
of whom are personally acquainted with Judge
Woodward, speak loudly in favor of this appoint
ment. We hope the nomination may be confirm
ed by the Senate.
The Old Year.
The yeat of our Lord 1811 is nearly numbered
with "the years beyond the flood." Da days are
gone, and the "recording angel" has noted its last
deed upon the annals of eternity.
The chilling blasts of winter passed away—
spring with its sunshine, its feathered songsters, its
green swards, buds, flowers, and fragrance—sum
mer with its hot suns and golden harvests—aturnn
with its loaded boughs and rich vintage, came and
went in qnick succession—and hardly the wlnde
of December are sounding the dirge and the requiem
of the year.
Twelve brief months ago we hailed the dawn of
the then new-born year, with friends who were
rejoicing with co, and giving and receiving the
wish of ".k Happy New Year." Those friend(

high hopes, light hearts, and buoyant steps. But
alas! where are they dowl Separated and scatter

The *lobe and the President's
Message.
Om neighbor of the Globe, (without raying any-
thing about hie dignity) no doubt flatters himself 1
that he has managed the anti-Tariff potition of the
President's menage very ingeniously. Four weeks
ago he published the document, aid prononnced it
a whole message ; the following week he commented
mott largely upon it, but did not touch the Tariff
vietvs. Itial,Oliey no doubt was, to let the message
get 01 , 1, and the language of it be forgotten, no that
ho could stuff his readers by garbling the message
and selecting the ad coptatzdtim paragraphs and
expressions of its '‘learned and honorable auther."
Accordingly, three weeks after every body has
read and thrown aside the message, the Tariff—
a matter of third importance to the Globe editor—
is discussed in an article exceeding two columns
in length, embodying two paragraphs of the mes
sage, intandtd es popularity traps to 'catch thu
"des` people" who hart tten swindled into `ate
support of Mr. Pork. We hope the extreme length
of the Globe article will not deter any from reading
it, for it shows the manner in which the Locoloco
party leaders and editors deal with their party, , -
The Globe aided in making the people Of Pennsyl
vania believe before the election, that Jas. K. Polk
was as good a Tariff Man—indeed a better Tariff
man than Mr. Clay—and note it is endeavoring to
deceive theta still further, and make out Mr. Polk
to be a Tarilr min different from what he himself
tr.lle the people ill bin Mestage. Iltar the Globe i
I, He (the Presidedt) does recemmend this step
to Congress; not because he believes the duties to
be too high but because he believes them to be
unjustly proportioned or levied." And again says
the Globe, ' , The President does not ask the rem
/Wien Or °Milian of it, es has been falsely eitsett - ed
by the Whig JOurnalt."
Now, the President, as every body knows WliO
has read his aneseage, expressly urges upon Con
gress the "modification" and "REDUCTION" of
the present rstes of duty, and earnestly recommends
dr. "THOROUGH REVISION." We quote the
language of the menage itself.
Now we are told by lexacographera, that modify
meets b change the form—to shape; and reduc
tion, every body knows means to make less, and
nothing else.
What then is the aim of the editor of the Globe
when he say. that the President does not think the
duties "too high ?" Is it not so attempt to do the
thinking for his readers—•to form erroneous opinions
for them, lost they shou Id form correct ones for
themselves! in other words, is it not a palpable
attempt to de...eite and mislead the people?
Our neighbor carefully avoids the pgragrdplis of
the message Which speak Of reducing• the Tatiff,
while those which have d tendehey to arta, the
poor man against the rich by detttagagnal "slang
rehang" (to use a favorite expression of out neigh
bor's) about the inequality of ptUtection, are insert
ed at length.
With the President'. "slang evhatig" the Globe
editor mixes much of his own twatik about Mr.
Clay—Whig pr , and the Locofoco forgery
knoton by the name of "Roorback," started by the
Locofoeoe, ire order to make capital ant of it for Mr.
It is evident that the President's Tariff views
staggered even our neighbor of the Globe and he
had therefore to employ a special pleader to help
him out of his awkward position ; and it will be
observed that the special pleading sounds very
much like the lleuil editoriak of the Globe during
the late absence of its ostensible editor.
Canal Colin:rifts'toner Convention
The Locofoco party throughout the State, with
their characteristic energy and vigilance, are elect- '
ing their delegates to tired ofr the 4th of March
next, at Harrisburg, for the purpose of nominating
'candidate for Canal Commissioner. Wye think
this example should be followed by the Whigs. If
we have no State Coalmine that will act, we hops
the party throughout the State will make imme
diate arrangements to have one constituted, so that
the Whig party may not "gain be Left in the condi
lion it was last fall, without' any Slate organization
whaWver; a prey to every now light that sprung up.
. _ .
Now, that the powers at Washington are about
verifying the woivt apprehensions of those who fa
vored the election of . ;,,tr. Clay to the Presidency,
in' the formidabie attack vvit;ch has been mado by
the Piesiddht and. Secretary Wail.er upon the in
dustry and enterpriie o this State, it becomes the
NVhigs, who hare heretofore never shrunk ft PM the
performance of their duty, to secure and keep up
an unwavering State organization; one that will be
impervious to the assaults of the new factions and
parties that are constantly springing up—so that
the whole strength of the Whig party can at arty
time be concentrated and called into action, to de
fend and ward of the blows aimed at the prosperity
of our belovdd old Commonwealth. To this end,
we would suggest that the Whig members of tho
Legislature be respectfully requested lb call a Con
vention of delegates, representing the Whig party
of the (habitat counties of the State, fot the pur
pose of nominating a candidate to be supported by
the Democratic NVhig party for Canal Commis
sioner, and constitating en efficient State Central
Committee, to act . Until * another Committee shall
be regularly appointed.
We hope the Whig editors throughout the State
will notice this subject, and' give their views as to
the course best to be adopted to insdre ad early or.
ganizatibn of the party in the Commonwealth.

The Fraud Confessed:
Our neighbor of the Globe says ho ie "one of
those who, during the campaign of '44, believed
and pronounced 'James K. Polk' a better Tariff
man than Henry Clay and that he now bee midi
gonel proof to confirm him in that belief.
His reason for belie'ving so is that Mr. Polk has
been steadfast in one opinioh, ohd has, whenever
opportunity ofThred, given that opinion candidly.
That is to say, Mr. Polk is noW, and always has
been one of the most uncompromising opponents
of the Protective system—the system of which
Henry Clay is the father. Mr. Pufk, while a mem
ber of Congress, used all the means iii his power to
repeal the Protective 'Variff of 1828; aid differ the
passage of the Tariff act of 1842, ho denobnced it
in his stump speeches and in his address to the
People of Tennessee, while a candidate for Govei
nor of that State. The Tariff of 1842 is denounced
in hie menage to Congress, and a reduction and
ModiAcation thereof recommended. Such then is
the siearifast one opinion of Mr. Polk. It is just
what N't'hig presses and Whig orators said of Mr.
Polk during the Presidential campaign—and just
what the LocofOcts papers and Imcofoco orators de
nounced as "Whig Lies?' Is not this as true as
gospel?
Knowing the reckless course of the Globe and
other Loeofoco gapers iltning the campaign, its as
sertions now will not surprise thy one. The
message, they say, affords "addiliohel proof" that
Mr. Polk is 9 better Tariff man than Mr. Clay!"
Can any mart believe that the Globe man and his
colleagues were in raver of a Protective Tariff when
they advocated the election of James IC. Polk, or
that they are now in favor of a. Protective Tariff?
No, no,---ihe leaders or the Locofoco party go as
tar for a Lute reveUue tariff as Mr. Polk hitriself
does. The hypocrisy and fraud of the Loccifoco
leaders is manifest when we recollect that they in
scribed "Polk chit the Tariff of 1042" upon their
banners—ithd that their papers and Orators claimed
the Tariff as a .democratic measure"--and that
they denounced as "Whig Lies" every effort to
prove to the people the true principles of Mr. Palk
and his party on the one hand, and those or Mr.
Clay and the Whig patty on the othel,
Now that it setinslikt; a "forlorn hope" to de
ceive the people still further into the belief that Mr.
Polk is a protective Tariff man, they endeavor to
make the people believe that Mr. Clay and the
Whig party are also for Free Trade or a revenue
tariff merely, like themselves. It is modest in thedi
to do so; and any thing asserted to thil &utrary
will of course be "Whig
The annexed Address and Letter will show the
views of the competitdrs for the Presidency at the
dates when they were first given to the world, and
at this time; for it is a matter of histdry that their
views as to the Tariff of f 842 have never changed.

'eace or War.
It is quite evident from the tone of the British
Journals, as well as from that of the European let
ter-writers, that similar anxiety exists among the
friends of peace on the other side of the Atlantic,
t'D that which prevails aihOiig the same class of per
ions on this (and we iruSt that the designation in
cludes the wise and moderate of all parties) in re
lation to peace or war betweeri the United States
and Great Br:Eh:in. While all fleprd:iate a conflict
as the greatest possible evil that could afflict the
two countries; ifid while a hope is 'earnestly in
dulged that such a caliniity will be airiiited, appre
herisionls nevertheless felt, and in carne cases to a
very serious extent. The lionddit correspondent
of the Huston Atlas cemmenCes a letter written es
pecially for the itiftirrnation of his countrynicii on
this side, thus :
nWar with the United States has been the lead
ing and most exciting topic of the press and the
public during the last fortnight; althcugh the more
pacific tone of the American papers received by
the steamer Caledonia, on Sattirday last, has within
the last three days considerably allayed the war
panic. Government is, however, lam assured by
thlierent well intormcd pantry, uioktirb the
active and extensive preparations in the dock-yards,
that this cotiiiry may be ready at a moment's no
tice, to maintain the rights of Great Britian to the
bregon Territory."
The Liverpool Times says
"We can state as a fact, that a naval officer, high
in command, has been privately engaged in taking
measurement cf the large clearness under mail con
tract service with Her Majesty's Government, and
with orders to report imri*diateh' to the Admirelity
on their capability for carrying gtins of fhe largest
calibre. The large steamers faidilitg the fleet of
the West India Royal Mail Company, also the
vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental e..lompany,
together with the Great Britian and Great %Vest
ern, are said to ha , ie been quietly but officially in
spected. A naval officer, well acquainted with the
coast of America, has been summoned to London
to give information to the Admirality. Such a
combined farce as these numerous and powerful
ships would form, independent of the regular
steamers of war, would be ono of the strongest over
seen on the ocean. The West India Company's
ships alone are 12 in number, and of about 1,200
tons burden each."

'The Fraud upon PosculayWants.
Almost every principle cherished by Pennsylva
nia has, at sari°us dines, been thrown under the
wheels of the Juggernaut of Party. Internal im
provement by the national government, the distri
bution of the proceeds of the public lands, a tariff
for protection--upon each of these questions the
State has assumed a decided and lofty attitude; yet
upon each, as the Gat of party went forth, the lofty
brow was lowered, the attitude was changed, and
Pennsylvania was found prostrate as an Oriental
eunuch at the footstool of power. The good of her
citizens lamented her self-betrayal, the bold Ineffec
tually opposed it, the mass swore an oath or two .
and slept again. Upon the fire of these questions,
it seems that a change his come over '".he dream of I
the Southern abstractionists, and they now advo
cote extensive internal improvements upon "the I
inland sea." So be it; for while they will advance
the general prosperity, they will demand, if the
system be carried .Out in the ptoPer spirit, some
millions of additional tariff revenue. Up l Sn all '
•
I these questions Pennsylvania has, at heart, been
unchanged; although the combinations and strategy
of politics tive placed her in a false position. The
tariff question has shared the fate 'of ctheri; with
nine-tenths of her population ardently supporting
it, she finds that her vote has, by political miChins
tions, been turned against it. ,
Her natural resentment is, by several Almelo,
ascribed to party motives; but can it be overlooked
that Pennsylvania has not an inttreet that is not
involved in the system of protection, and that the
reenlis of a free trade policy, rninous to the land at
large, moat bring an especial Ltight upon the in
tercets by which all her people are euetainecil Her.
honor, her credit, her yresent ability to av , ert bank
ruptcy, her fuMrs hopes or i'nrtneete,all depend
upon that policy; but, had 7?enntryi-iania not the
interest of a pers':lY dependent upon that question,
her whole course proves that she would sustain it
as the only means of rendering the r:•:,tioh indepen
dent and prosperous itoeff. Aside frorp nll
this, is it supposed that ours is the only State ,
whose credulity is to be Wei: by * a fa l seh o od, and
whose forbearance io secured by contempt!
Could not the votes of the Southern Stites be
secured by pledges to the doctrines of free trade?
But what would the citizens say to such n course
un the part of a northern candidate for the Presi
dency, who should, before he was scarcely warm in
his scat, make a tilt against all the views he had
been understood to pledge himself to support?
Would not every Southern press teem with indig
nant denunciations? But poor, patient Pennsyl
vania!
The consequence. of this betrayal of Penneylve
nia aro dpparent to all. The movement matte at
the Memphis Convention to admit Railroad iron
duty free—a branch of manufactures already ex
tensive and rapidly increasing—in an indication of
what we have to expect. The recommendation■
of Mr. Walker, if sustained, mina plunge Penn
eylvania back itAa the sloUgh of despond from
which sae is itruggimb. Bearing en Allauteao
burthen of debt and taxes, In, industry and enter
prize dashed to the ear i th, confidence destroyed and
hope elfin i.irsiried;—repudiation, revolting as it is
to every honest mind, may be the least of her evils.
The Boston Courier remarks that the Democracy
of this State in Congress must sustain the Tariff,
"or Pennsylvania must become a colonial meal to
the iron-mongered coal-heavers of Great triiain.:
,We cannot doubt that they wilt de' their duty. It
is the Democracy that hos heen paltered with in a
double sense; the shadow of the Wrong falls the
more heavily upon them, the ‘l; , re:vea unit deceiv
lera, the agents and victims of falsehood and frrud.
The Lowell Cornier says, ••we ehould like to see
the Tariff Democrats of old Becks, whose rallying
cry was 'Polk and Daltas and the Tanif of , 12,
after they have read the Alcmene° of the President
and the Report of the Secretary. The fact that
they have been cheated in their men, will, we judge,
appear plain even to their dull comprehension."
the jeer might have been spared', for it is unde
served. Pennsylvania has been wronged; but be
the blame with those who have wronged her. It
is true that a portion elher press swallow all the
abominations which have been prepared for them;
and, ploclaiming themselves favorable to the pro
tective policy, plaice tho recommendations of Sec
retary Walker.—This is aditeriog to falsehood
when it is vain to deceive, and cherishing perfidy
when it has ceased to be profitable. In what es
sential particular does the revenue policy of Aleeire
Polk and Walker differ, in its character and ten
dency, from the views of the Work' and wildest
Sbuthdrn free trade fanatic? Thera ie in this 001ii
tiMi, a's assumed by a portion of the Pennsylvania
press, a cowardly hypocrisy which finds in the low
est depths of tneanness and dishonor a lower deep.
These who sustain the views of Secretary Walker
and affect a eympathy with the tare interests of
Pennsylvania, are guilty of conscious aintineulting
unfairness. Let therii . speak forth boldly as the
friends offthe trade, and join the Anglo-Southern
effort to crish Pennsylvania. They cannot sus
tain Mr. Walker and the Tariff—whet the knife
and loVe the victim. It in to such ithlitictil trick
'
seers - that Pennsylvania owes tL- load' of grief and
disgrace under which she hal staggered. But
there is an aroused spirit in her sons that will'
“fool her nut an niubhlcibeia it s tatnelY, fetich her
with noble anger." The'KeYstone is tiot'yet'at the
foot of the arch, and will not be while her people
are true to her and to themselves.—North Amcr.
The NVashington Union states that Gen. Ar

reinforce his commend by State troops, necessary to

step to domestic strife in the Indian country.
