Qo. Jou ! , Monarsorr, Ee¢.,.haa our thank. for
a copy of the Auditor General. report.
ACCIDEXT.-We regret to learn that on Sunday
evening lad, our fellow townsman, Wm. Stewart,
while riding his horse to the water, was throwr,
and hie foot remaining in the stirrup, dragged for
earn. distance bruising his head and face very badly.
The bridle bit it appears had given way. When
found, Mr. S. was epeechtees. and continued so du
ring the whole of Sunday night. NVe are pleased
Wi learn, however, that he is now doing well.
sryThe U. S. Senate will meet on Thursday
evening at the School-house. A highly exciting
discussion is expected. Lathes and Gentlemen are
respectfully invited to attend.
We were not furnished with a report of the butt
might's proceedings, dc can only say that the •pcechas
both for end against the bill, making certain altera
tions in our Naturalization Laws, were able, ani
mated and instructive. Masers. Stewart, Wharton,
Raymond, Benedict, Zeigler, Jones and William
son, participated.
crYA late number of the Native Eagle takes
ground for the Hon. Geo. W. Woodward, as the
Native American candidate for Governor, in 1847.
A private letter also, from a leading member of that
party, to a gentleman in !hie place, remarks that
the .'eyes of the Natives are full upon him." It is
also rumored: that if the Judge be nominated he
will certainly be "rejected" by the people.
There is a late rumor to the effect that President
'Polk intend. making Judge Woodward his Attor
ney General, and that the present incumbent, John
Y. Mason, is to be transferred to Mr. Buchanan's
place, and the latter gentleman to be appointed to
the vacancy on the Supreme Bench. A little lime
will set all these rumor, right.

The Tariff of 1842.
The conduct of the Locofoco party in
the House of Representatives at Harris
berg, in regard to this measure, has been
such as should. call down upon them the
indignation of every honest man, no met
ter what may be his political predilec
tions. Resolutions sustaining the act of
'42, were, some time since, unanimously
passed in the Senate, and it was confi
dently hoped that they would meet with
no opposition in the House. But contra , -
ry to this just expectation, they were
stoutly opposed in that body by a number
of the Locofoco leaders in their speeches,
and by offering amendments, which, if
adopted, would have entirely defeated the
object of the true friends of protection.
After battling these resolutions for about
ten days in Cemmi/tee of the Whole,
they are taken up on second reading and
through the agency of the previous ques
tion,.pasaed. No sooner is this done,
however, than the leaders become alarm
ed for their popularity—not with the peo
ple, but the Polk administration—and
they stick on resolutions lauding the old
rejected Sub-treasury scheme, and against
the distribution of the proceeds of the pub
lic lands, and call upon "lite party" to
support them in so doing. They did not
call in vain: the tarty sustained timese
resolutions, embracing matt ,r entirely
foreign to the subject under consideration,
and thus placed the tar:ff resolutions in
such a position that no Whig could vote
for them. Conduct like this, we repeat,
is disgraceful, and is hitt another evidence
that the•Locoloco party are the enemies
of a protective tariff, and that in eleva
ting them to power, the people have
bee/00st ruinously and villainously de

Correspondence of the• Elnatingdon
Journal:
Iliantsruss , Feb. 7 1846.
My Dear Captain—The history of the past
week's Legislative business may be thus briefly
eteted:—.The House met every morning at 9 o'clock,
and after the journals of the preceding day had
been read, went through with the regular morning
orders, beginning on Mondays and Thursdays with
the presentation of petitions—next original Reso
lution., then reports from Standing Committees,
and reading of Bill. in place, after which the Tar
iff Resolittions game up in their order at 11 or 12
o'clock, and occupied the Howse until one o'clock,
tho standing hour of adjournment. The Senate
were occupied in like manner from 10 o'clock ex
cept that instead of the Tariff Resolutions, that
body was engaged daily until yesterday, itt discus
sing the Bill granting to the Balt. & Ohio Railroad.
Company the right of way from Cumberland to
Pittsburg.
The petitions protected (which are the same In
both Houses) are very numerous en both aides of
the question of granting the right of way to the
Balt. & Ohio Railroad Company, and the N. Y.
& Erie Railroad—especially the former—the latter
not being remonstrated against with ouch earnest.
area. Wheelbarrow loads are also presented in fa
vor of the "middle route" continuous railroad from
Phil's. to Pittsburg. Every day or two we are fa
vored with something in the way of a new county
—the latest being an application for one to he called
"Dalian," out of parts of Erie, Crawford and \Var.
ren. All the old petitions of former days in favor
of "Blair" have been withdrawn, and presented in
the Senate, as prayers directly from the people, in
favor of that project. The Senate hare not yet
acted upon the eubject.
The original resolutions are principally instruc
tions to etanding committees directing them to in
quire into the expediency of certain ideas which
occur to the minds of the movers—as also calls up
on the Canal Commissioners, the Auditor General
and other heads of Department for information in
relation to the Government. Amongst these may
be mentioned a Resolutian offered by Mr. Bighani,
asking the Canal Commissioners to inform the
House of the amount of tolls paid into the State
Treasury (exclusive of all Host, wheel and motive
power chorges) by the Canal regulations of 1845,
upon each thousand pounds of the following arti
cle., six: Flour, Bacon, Cotton and Tobacco not
manufactured, stating specifically the ain't. paid
when shipped from Pittsburg to Columbia: also the
set. paid if the same had been stripped to l'hiFe.
under the operation of the maximum system of
charges adopted.
Amongst tho many private and few other Bills
reported from standing committees, was one of a
public character, viz: Mr. Burrill, eheirman of the
Committee of Way. end Means of the House, re
ported the annual Appropriation Bill, making
specific provision for the payment of the salary of
the Governor and all subordinate officers of the
Government, together with the necessary and con
tingent expenses thereof for the ensuing year. The
Bill further authorizes the Canal Commissioners,
if they deem it expedient, to put passenger and
baggage cars on the Phil's. and Columbia Railroad
at the aspense of the State, provided the cost thereof
shall not eaceed the sum of $26,900 to be paid out
of the motive power fund; and prohibits also the
payment out of the State Treasury, of expenses of
removing criminals charged with offences in an
other county or State for trial; and provides that
the unexpended balance of any item in the Bill is
to remein in the Treasury.
The Tariff Resolutions have at length been die
posed of in the House. The discussion upon them
had become dry and uninteresting to every one
who was forced to hear it, and peculiarly annoying
to those who feel that action and not talk upon this
well settled principle in Penn's., should have been
the order of the day. But so many gentlemen feel
it their duty to let their constituents know that they
are busy, that speech succeeds speech in almost
ending succession. The subject was brought to a
elm last evening, (the House having met yester
day and the day previous, in the afternoon, for the
purpose of discussing it,) by the rejection of the
amendment of Mr. Murrill, as well as that of Mr.
Piolett, and the adoption, by a very large vote, of
the Resolutions as they came from the Senate,—
together, however, with a miserable apendago hung
on to them by Mr. Piolett, on the subject of a Ns
tional Bank and a Sub-Treasury, and against the
distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands;
which caused the Whigs to remain silent instead
of voting on the final passage of the nauseous
compound. But I must be more explicit and or
derly in my statement.
The subject remained in Committee of the Whole
precisely as stated in my lost letter, until yesterday
afternoon, that is to say—the Senate Resolutions
which instruct our Senators and request our Repre
sentatives in Congress to oppose any attempt to
modify or altar the Tariff act of 1832, having been
taken up, Mr. nutria offered an amendment as a
substitute, asserting certain generalitees in relation
to a tariff, about as definite as Gen. Jackson's "Ju
dicious Tariff" and desiring our Senators Arc. not
to vote for any tariffinconsistent with those latitu
dinarian principles ; and to this Mr. Monett of
Bradford had offered an amendment as a substitute
characterizing the taliff act of 1842 as "unequal
and unjust" and instructing our Senators &c. to
go for its modification. These amendments wore
given at length in my last letter, and upon the va
rious phases of the question, thus presented, the
debate was kept up, Messrs. ?duel. n,Tlartholornew,
Shunt., Breckenridge, }die, Bigham, Nicholson
and others having made speeches in favor of the
Tariff of 1842; Messrs. Burrill , Burnable, Gallo
way, Boughner and others in favor of Mr. Burin's
proposition. and hi veers. Webb, Knox, Kline, and
Piollott in favor of the amendment of the last named
gentleman.
The amendments were both lost in Committee
of the Whole, that of Mr. P. receiving only nine
votes, Mr. Burrill renewed his on second reading,
which Mr. Piollet essaying also to do, the previous
eitieelion wt. 'willed, and being stutaiml, the vote
wu taken.on Mr. Burrilre amendment and It was'
negatived—Yen 97, Nays 57.
The question then recurring on the original Rie.
elution, from the Senate in favor of adhering to the
Tariff of 1842, the ume were agreed to—Yeu 79,
Nays 19.
About this time there wee great wrath manifested
by Mr. Piollett, vrhe did not get an opportunity of
setting himself right upon the Journals in conse.
quence of the previous question getting in ahead
of him ; which wee a trick however of his own
party, who do not relish the promulgation of those
"free trade" doctrines, which they secretly enter
tain, yet dare not publicly avow in Pennsylvania.—
Some sharp shooting was also renewed between
Messrs. Burnelde and Hurrill. who alike aspire to
the distinction of being leaders of the party, and
have made several passes at each other during the ,
Session, and Mr. Burnside did not vote for Mr.
Hurrill'e amendment. One of the sins laid at the
• Colonel's door, is that he is a little tinctured with
Cemeroniem.
The Reeolutions as they came from the Senate
being then before the House on their final passage,
Mr. Pio!lett determined that ho would have a Huger
in the pie too, so he moves to go into Committee
of the Whole, for the purpose of adding to the
Resolutione, Natter instructions to the Senator,
and Representatives aforesaid, not to create a Na
tional Bank, but to create a Sub-Treasury to lock
up the money of the United States, end to oppose
a distribution of the proceeds of the Sales of the
Public Land., which he alleges Would be a better
protection than a Tern At firm the countenance
of every member, showed that he Tyke thinking of
the word "abominable," but Mr. Pio:let got the
floor and cried "party !"—"party!" "Democratic
party f—if we refuse to declare there prineipleb,
good by, to the gloriorts Demdcraec party"!--tio
lustily that he actually frightened the "Democracy"
into the support of hie amendment, believing, as I
suppose they did, that it would be a good trap to
catch the Whigs in. So the motion to go into Com
mittee of the Whole for that purpose was agreed to,
Yeas 52, Nays 40, under the gag of the previous
question, and that too, whilst Mr. Magehen wee
on the floor, he having just risen to expose the con
temptible trick which was about being perpetrated.
The whole thing was well planned, for whilst the
House was in Committee, Mr. Magehen arose, as
he had a perfect right to do, where no previous
question could reach him, yet the Chairman (Mr.
Grey) paid no attention to his cry of "Mr. Speaker!
—Mr. Speaker!" but declared the amendment
agreed to, end immediately vacated the chair, af
ter which on the question of arguing to the report
of the Committee of the Whole, the previous quee
tion was sprung. Great good may such tricks do
tho Democracy ! but the true state of the case rein
be known.
The question recurring on the final passage of
the Resolutions including the Sub-'Treasury, and
the Proceeds of the Public Lands, the same wee
agreed to, by the following vote—the Whigs decli
ning to vote at all, vie i Yeas 54, Nays 4.
The Reaolutions will be returned to the Senate
for concurrence in the apendage. It is evident front
the course of the Loco Faces on this question, that
they care nothing about the Tariff of 1842, or the
interests of Penn's, provided they can manage by
hook or by crook to take rare of "the party."
A Bill to reduce the Capital Stock of the Erie
and North East Rail Road Company from $5,000,-
060 to $OOO,OOO was negatived in the House one
day this week by a large vote. Since that time the
vote has been re-considered, and the Bill is post
poned. A Bill to incorporate the Lewisburg Uni
versity in Union county has passed final reading in
both Houses, beside. a number of others which it
were useless to mention hero.
The Balt. & Ohio Rail Road Bill hasbcen warm
ly debated in the Senate but has not yet come to a
vote. Messrs. Darsie, Sullivan, Gibbon., Hill and
others have made able speeches in favor of granting
the right of way, and no less able ones have been
made on the other side of the question by Messrs.
Crabb, Bigler. Chapman, and others. It will be a
.close vote, I think, in the Senate, but cannot be
carried without a little "log-rolling" between the
N.Y. & Erie Rail Road or some other interest.
The Bill to compensate Thos. C. McDowell,
John G. Miles, arid George Taylor, Eagr's, fur
services rendered the Commonwealth, in prosecu
ting the Flannagans, for murder in Cambria county,
putted finally in the Senate to-day.
William L. Irvin of Adam■ county has been
nominated by the Gosernot and confirmed by the
Senate, no President Judge of the 19th Judicial
District, composed of the counties of York and
Adams, in the room of Judge Durkie, whose term
has expired.
George Lippard, Esq. of Philadelphia has been
lecturing here two or three evenings this week on
the "Romance of the Revolution." I have not
heard him, but he hes been considerably "cracked
up" in the papers—l know, however, that ho is a
very romantic young gentleman.
A pair of pretty little fish from "down East"
somewhere, y'clept Misses Pike have been teaching
the science of mnemonics to our citizens. The.
are said to be quite protoges in the way of recoi
leering figures, &c. and have nad respectable au
diences. Some say they are used as bails by the
gentlemen who are with them, and that consider
able money has been caught thereby. They are
smart gat: however, and the memories of some
gentlemen have been amazingly quickened by their
presence.

8 Shocking Occurrence,
We learn from the Detroit Free Press, that a
little eon of Mr. S. Cobb ] overseer of the poor house
in Adrian, was killed by a man named Chamberlain.
He enticed the boy into an upper chamber, beat
him ovet the head with a shoe hammer, then cut
his throat from car to ear, and finally locked up
the body in a trunk, locking also tho chamber door.
He then not fire to the house in an adjoining room,
then to the barn, then to the barn of Mr. Hutchins,
commissioner of the poor, and finally proceeded to
the barn of Mr. Hose, another commissioner,
where he was detected in the act of setting fire to
it. Chamberlain hail been recently dismissed from
the poor-house, and his diabolical conduct is attrib
uted to revenge. The barna with their contents
were totally destroyed. Lon about $l,lOO.

Important Stumm.
Tho following is from the New York Triinne of
the 4th inst., and it is not Without' conflimation In
the opinion 'expressed by the National Willi gun
-011r:
"From the best data we could gather at Womb
ington up to yesterday morning, we conclude that
the Diplomatic Correspondence respecting Oregon
was re-opened by Mr. Pakenham, with a proposi
tion that the last (published) letter of each to the
other should be mutually withdrawn. Thus pro
posal being acceded to at once re-opened the Nego
tiation on the bards of Mr. Polk'. offer to Compro
mise on the 49th parallel, which Mr. Pakenhem
gruffly rejected when rondo. It now became in
cumbent on Mr. Pakenharn, in ease hi. non-accep
tance ie persisted in, to make a counter-proposition,
which we infer he has tione, but of what character
we are not advised.
We think Mr. Buchanan, having tendered his
resignation of the post of Secretary of State, was
nominated for the vacant Judgeship, and we heard
that his nomnination was even sent to the Senate,
but withdrawn on the reception of Mi. Pakenhain's
new overture—Mr. B. consenting to retain the
State Department and make another effort to settle
the Oregon difference. When this Negotiation is
terminated, whether succesefully or otherwise, we
think Mr. t ends to resign, and we somewhat
doubt that tomination for the Judgeship will
meantime be made. It has been known to Mr.
Buchanan'. friends that he is tired of his present
giddy end distracting position as the head of an
anti-Tariff Cabinet, and will leave it on the first
fair opportunity.
The House will vote to give the Notice, in a
guarded and peaceful shape, when it votes at all on
the subject, but is in no hurry to act. The senate
is apparently inclined to await the result of the
pending Negotiation before acting at all decisively.
We doubt whether it will ever act on the Navy
Enlargement Bill--we are confident it will not
pass it—before the Negotiation is brought to some
issue.
The President Will probably be in no hurry to
answer the inquiry of the Senate for fresh advice,
respecting the Oregon question. If the resolution
of inquiry had not been pissed some day. sines,
we presume it would not have passed at ell.
cO-We cannot refrain frorn giiing our readers
the following compliment to our county, which we
find in the columns of the Ti. S. Gazette; The
high source from which it comes—the pen of Joe.
IL Chandler, Esq., is what renders it so pesulierly
grateful to our feelings.
Aid to the Middle Route:
Among the eigne favorable to the completion of
a railroad by the middle route, is the movement in
the county of Huntingdon, recommending the
measure as due to the people and bligneu of the
State, and required to develops, and place in the
proper market, time produce of the west, ea well as
the mineral and vegetable Mores of our own Stale,
while at the same time, it secured to the State the
advantages and profits of the enterprise.
But Huntinctlon °aunty has done more--she
has felt it her duty to contribute something besides
encouraging words. she teals the importance of
the measure, and the is willing to secure its advan
tage to herself at a fair price. Slur does not et
peet to obtain the advantage without some outlay.
She feels it her duty to put her hand to her purse,
and then to the good work. Empty handed efforts
are useless. Huntingdon county, therefore, has
resolved to ask the Legislature of the State for per
mirision to subscribe to the stock of the Middle
Route Railroad, so as to do her part in the good
work.
Huntingdon county hae done eemeth!ng of the
kind before, we believe. Anxious to derive all the
advantages possible from a turnpike, whose com
pletion lingered ler want of funds, ehe applied her
means to the making of bridge., and thus comple
ted a work whtch promoted the convenience of the
people, without ultimately injuring the fund. of the
county—and we believe Huntingdon county Is en
tirely out of debt.
The Trouble in South America,
A correspondent of the New York Sun writing
from the United States brig Bainbridge, off Mon
tevidoe, Nev. 11th, gives these particulars:
"General Oribe woe not and is not fghting !spinet
the natives of this place, nor against the English,
but against Rivers (who hes been routed) and such
as he was able to employ of the foreigners, the out
casts of their mother country, to whom he gave
the use of arms, but not a vote. • These hirelings
are now but few ;--the French and English have
stepped in and supplied the places of the abscond
ing ; but in name and numbers, as yet, and to all
appearances, their inactivity will be thrown aside,
and their prowess brought against bribe, who, in
my humble opinion, will be found to be no child at
war, although it in certain he will never oppose the
Anglo-French in open combat—far from it. He
has an army of full 20,000, and all well mounted
to a man, and who have been in actual service the
,last six years, inured to hardshipe and fatigue and
privationesuch as an English soldier is unacquain
ted with. Their food is ouch as we would revolt
being horse flesh, which they prefer to neat cattle.
They drive the horses before them to any place
they wish to go, and can travel to the distance of
thirty or forty leagues a day, capable thereby of
appearing at points when least expected, and har
assing an enemy and cutting off supplies at their
option.
. . . .
"Large forces can be obtained at a moment's
warning, from other sources: such, for instance, as
are tuuler arms in the city of Buenos Ayr., and
the Patagonian Indians, as fierce and warlike tribe.
"Should the Anglo-French intervention continue,
and Routs hold out, England may expect to spend
thousands of lives, and then not bring to terms e
foe not so easily subdued. The Republica of Chili,
Bolivia, and Peru. ire apparently silent, but how
long will they maintain a neutrality, should they
see a sister Republic endangered and her institutions
likely to crumble for the want of aseistance The
whole continent would take the alarm, and a gen
eral impulse succeed, end to a perfect union, not
setting aside Brazil, in a united defence. The
shore would be a compact too stable and powerful
for the Anglo-French, and its results too impressive
to die upon the shores of either ocean, but reach
the very centre of European monarchy and over
throw the dynasty of hereditary title and distinc
tion."

From the Lebetton Courier,
Charles Gibbons, Req.
' Wi have been equally pained and carpi-lead to
observe the unjutitiable, and, we may add, unman
ly assaults, which some of the Philadelphia papers
have made, of late, on the fair and well earned
fame of the distinguished Senator from the City of
Philadelphia, whose name we have plaited at the
head of this article. Whether than teeny local or
individual object to be gained by those who make
these assault., we are not in a situation to judge;
but there to such a thing as jealousy and envy, ae
well as private and selfish interest, which may lead
men to do dishonorable seta; and we have too much
rea.on to believe, that those who have engaged in
this diereputeble warfare against one of the bright.
eat ornamente of our State Senate, have not a*
much the pitbllc good in view, for which they pro
fess eo gronit a regard, as the advancement of their
own private and selfish Moraine. We can assure
those who thus attempt to break down the high
end unsullied clamor of Mr. Gibbons, and seek
to &Mimi his influence, in order, se we are strong
ly inclined to believe, to rise on his ruin, that the
maligriant spirit evinced by them, will not meet
with any other responee than that of Indignation,
from any portion of the country proms.
*e have been led to then remarks by reeding
an article in the North American, containing an
attack upon Mr. Gibbons, so Outrageous ■nd libel.
lons in its Character, that we supposed the North
American, not having the honor of an exchange, to
be of the true and unscrupulous Locofoco clamp.
Hence we were not so moth atirpriaid at it in the
first instanee, knowing, as we did, that he is one of
the chief objecui of Locofoco inigeance; on account
of the valuable services which he petformed in the
contest of 1845, as the able President of the Na
tional Clay Club. But on eubseqUent incidiry we
were informed that the North American is semi
kind of a mongrel Whig paper. Be that as it may,
we feel quite cure that the article to which we re.
ter, will meet with universal condemnation from
the Whigs in the interior of the State. Mr. Gib , :
bone is deservedly one of the most popular and in
fluential Senators that has for a long while repre
sented the City of Philadelphia. A■ an evidence
of 'hie, we need but refer to the fact of his having
received the unanimous support of the Whig Sena
tors for tho Speakerehip, at the commencement of
the present session, although this is but the second
mission that he is a member of that body. His
course in the Senate has reflected the highest hon
or on dim who sent him there, and, we venture to
say, it would, perhaps, be well for the interests of
Philadelphia Wall her representatives in the State
Legish;ture would always pursue the same enlight
ened and liberal cdursb *hith has thus far chaise.-
terized the legislative carter of Mr. Gibbons.
We repeat, therefore, that we were pained and
surprised, when we read the article above referred
to in the North American, The Editor of that pa
per mit have forgotten himself when he permitted
the article to find its way into, the column/ of his
lisps:. if Me. Gibbons is to bi wii4e I political
sacrifice by the good citizens of the intelligent and
enlightened cit . .' of Phiradel'phie, heca4se, in the
honest discharge of his &Mamie dutiel, hi does .
not confine himself to the contracted policy oflook 7
ing only to the intimate of thou residing between
the Delaware and Schuylkill, but rises to the full
dignity of a Pennsylvania Staten-rim, then we have
surely mistaken the true eharacter of the cithensof
that City. But we will not do theta so much in•
justice as to suppose for a moment, that the article
in the North American is a true index to the feel
ings and sentiment. of the community in whiCh it
appeared.
