THE JOURNAL Canal Commissioner.
I The prospect of electing JAMES M. POWER,
the People's candidate, in opposition to Wm. B.
Poster, Jr.. the nominee of the office-holders upon
our canals and railroads, we are happy to inform
the lax payers of this county, is, indeed, very
cheering. The honest portion of the Locofoco
party are heartily ashamed of the manner in which
Mr. Foster managed to effect his own nomination;
and they are boldly speaking out, in different por
tions of the Commonwealth, on the subject. The

half of the taxes which go to pay for and keep in

If there was no other cause, the alarm which the
prospect of electing Mr. Power creates among the
office-holders and their friends, should be sufficient
to satisfy the people that all is not right in the

all this dentihciation add abuse of those honest

there is no corruption—no FAVORITISM going

If Mr. Foster is re-elected, the argument urged
in favor bf electing Canal Commissioners by the
people, fulls to the ground. It was argued in favor
of that bill, when under consideration before the
I egislatUre, that it would do away with the system
of prosituting the patronage of the Canal Board in
influencing elections. And yet wo have seen one
of the very first Commissioners elected under the
provisions of that law, using all the patronage
of his office, and all the influence with which his
official position, as President of the Board, invested
I him, to secure his nomination by the convention;
that secured, we see him using the same influence

The New Tariff
The new Tariff Bill discards entirely specific
duties and adopts the ad valorem policy. Although
duties are reduced to 80 per cent. as compared with
the Tariff of 1842, its friends expect it to produce
en equal amount of revenue. To secure this, this
country must of course import more than double
the quantity of foreign goods now consumed.
Where is the money to come from to pay for these
additional goods, and how long will it be until the
country is drained of its speclia tb enrich the coffers
of British capitalists? How Ling will the banking
institutions be able to withstantl the necessary drain
upon their vaults, and how long will it be ere the
reign of the glorious shinplaster, rag-tag-and-bob
tail" currency ie restored In our midst, while the
silver and gold finds its way to the Pockets of
lordly Planters and haughty Aristocrats Simple
questions these, and easily answered.
The Secretatary of the Treasury, in his argue
manta in favor of the new Tariff, stated that he ex
pected to receive an increase to the amount of $l5-
, 000,000 from the reduced duties, to be de. ived

ported into this country. This (said Mr. Winthrop
in his speech in the House of Reps esentatives) was
the Secretary's views; and it was important to as
; certain of what items this aggregate increase was
to he composed, and what branches of domestic la
bor were to be sacraficed, He read from printed
estimates the following items;
An increase of importation of Inox, in pigs, bar,
sheets, bands, rod, bars and hoops to the amount of
$1,185,000, an increased importatation of sugar and
molasses and syrup of molasses, to the amount of
$630,000.
An increased importation of $2,000,000 of the
various manufactures of wool and worsted, end of
$200,000 of raw wool.
An increase of importation of cottcn manufac

An increased impo talon of Coal and Coke to
the amount of $125,000.

A Wicked Design of the Administration.—The
able and well informed Washington Correspondent
of the U. S. Gazette learns from a prominent mem
ber of Mr. Polk's Cabinet, that the Administration
designs to rob, or take from, Mexico territory enough
to give the South preponderance over the North
forever, hereafter, with the view of establishing and
perpetuating runs Tnine—of crippling the labor,
enterprise and energies of the People of the North
—that she may play into the hands of the British
Manufacturer—British Ship Owner—British Mer•
chant, and British Capitalist!
We trust that this early exposure of the wicked
design of Polk & Co., will open the eyes of the
people and induce them so to act as to prevent the
execution of the plot and cover the actors with in
famy. •

Melancholy Affair.
On the afternoon of the 4th instant, it German
named Mr. George Mock, who has been employed
for seven or eight years as a laborer on the rail road,
between thin place and the foot of No. 10, went
into the tavern of Mr. Robt. C. M'Killip in thin
place and asked for some liquor, which wan refused
him. He was intoxicated, and M'Killip put him
out of the house, and gave him two or three kicks
in the light ride of the abdomen, from the effect
of which, after a pest martens examination the
jury of inquest gave verdict that he died, on the
night of Sunday the Sth. We forbear a word of
comment, or giving the particulars in full as we
have heard them, as the case will undergo a legal
investigation. Mr. M'Killip has been arrested and
is now in the hands of the Sheriff.—/Ml.Regieler.
The Warehouse Bill
The object of thin Bill; which has been before
Coness for some time, not being generally under
stood through the country, we will give an article
on the subject from the Philadelphia Ledger, a pa
per which professes to be neutral in politics, but
which done more to secure the election of Jas. K.
Polk, than perhaps any other in the State. The
Ledger gives it the right title—a bill to RU IN
AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS—a Bill to
encourage FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS.—
Let all, and especially those who voted for James
ulk, read this article from the Ledger:
The Warehouse Bill.
This seems to be a favorite project with the See
rebry et the Treasury. It is also highly praised
by several journals of New York. The Secretary
expects that it will afford en additional million of
dollars to the revenue ; and as ho does nut look
beyond revenue in a tariff, the argument is conclu
sive with him. The journals of New York, or the
portion of them which recommend this measure,
do not look beyond the commerce of that port,
and take for granted that it would be promoted by
this bill. We look as far as the agriculture, com
merce end manufactures of the whole country,
and confess a prefereuce for American over foreign
interests.
According to this bill, merchandize may remain
in store for two or three years, before it is sold for
duties; it may be taken from store at any time du
ring the two or three years for domestic use, on pay
ment of the duties and charges without interest
from the day of entry ; it may be entered for expor.
tetion at any time during the two or three years, on
payment of charges and expenses.
The proper title of this bill would be a bill for
the encouragement of foreign manufacturers, and
the ruin of American manufacturers and merchants
and ship owners." Under its operation, foreign
manufacturers will fill our warehouses with their
surplus stocks, and wait for a market. Time stocks
would be stored here on foreign account, the foreign
manufacturers keeping their agents here to dispose
of them. When prices shall authorize American
manufacturers to bring their fabrics into market,
the agents of the foreign owners of this foreign
merchandise in store, will pay the duties on it, and
bring it into market to undersell the American man
ufacturers. And it will be brought into market in
the same manner in competition with the foreign
merchandise imported by the American importer.
This would drive both our manufacturers and
porters front the market ; for who will manufacture
or import, in the face of competition from the ware
houses, filled with foreign merchandise for the ben
efit of the foreign manufacturers, entered and sto•
red at our ports without immediate cost, excepting
freight The stocks of the foreign manufacturer
can thus accumulate in our warehouses, and be
kept there for three years, without expense till the
day of sale. A common trick among English
manufacturers, while executing orders for American
importers, is to send merchandise like that ordered,
to be sold by our auctioneers. And thus when the
stock of the importer has arrived, ho finds that he
has been anticipated by his manufacturer. This
trick could be played much more extensively under
the warehouse bill; for then the foreign manufactu
rer, having received his order, will immediately

order the sale of all his stock in the warehouses of
similar kind. How long would American import-
ere remain in business, to bring their merchandise
into a market already supplied 7 One argument
urged in favor of the warehouse bill, is that it would
enable merchants of small capital to import, which
they cannot now, under the requisition of cash
duties," This argument is futile; for if a merchant
cannot pay the duties, and is allowed to store his
merchandise until able to pay them, the rich impor
ter, who can pay the duties, but does not choose to
pay them immediately, will use the same privilige
of storage. Hence the bill grants as many priv
iliges to large, as to small capital. And if the poor
merchant cannot stand against the rich merchant
on cath he certainly cannot on credit. He would
soon be overpowered by the privilige granted to the
rich foreign manufacturer, of storing his merchan
dise in our warehouses without immediate expense,
waiting for convenient opportunities to sell.
And how will this affect American ship-owners
When the foreign manufacturers can convert our
cities into warehouses for their own convenience,
they will employ the ships of their own country to
bring their merchandise here. The bill will make
our sea-ports the depositories of British, French,
and German manufacturers and ship-owners.
Santa Anna and the United States.
The Washington Union says:—.• We deem it
our duty to state, in the most positive terms, that
our government has no sort of connexion with any
scheme of Santa Anna for the revolution of Mexico,
or for any sot t of purpose. some three months
ago some adventurer was in Washington who
wished to obtain their countenance and aid in some
scheme or other connected with Santa Anna.--
They declined all sort of connexion, co-operation,
or participation in any effor t for the purpose. The
government of this country declines all such in
trigues or bargains. They have made war openly
in the face of the world. They mean to prosecute
it with all their vigor. They mean to force Mexico
to do us justice at the point of the sword. This,
then, is their design—this is their plan ; and it is
worthy of a bold, high-minded, and energetic
people."
Capt. Morton.
We learn that the friends of this gentleman con
template withdrawing his name as a candidate for
Canal Commissioner. As they are, with very few
exceptions, opposed to Mr. Foster, the candidate of
the Locofocos, end as a large number of his own
party will not vote for Foster, it would be wise to
pursue such a course. By so doing, the election of
Gen. Powers, the Whig candidate, would be secu
red, and the people have at least one able and effi
cient representative in the Canal Board.--Lancas
ter Tribune.
cc? The Harrisburg Telegraph says The
repeal of the Tariff will be a death blow to
the iron and coal interest of Pennsylvania and the
Central Railroad. It will feed our mechanics on
poverty, and clothe them and their farnili.nr in sack
cloth and rags."
Chances in the Senate.
The New York Courier and Enquirer thus dis
cusses the chances of Mr. McKay's Tariff Bill in
the Senate:
"At present, all eyes are turned to the Senate,
and the following estimate of the pnibable Vote in
that body has been made.
Against the bill, the whole Whig vote, 24
The two Senators from Pennsylvania, 2
The new Senator (Mr. Hole,) from New
Hampshire,
1
Mr. Senator Niles, from Connecticut,
This exactly divides the Senate; and if all the
members be present, sad all these not here enumer
ated vote for the bill, it would throw on the Vice
President, Mr. Dallas, the responsibility of its suc
cess or defeat. He is a Pennsylvanian. All the
Lecofoco Representatives but one from Pennsylva
nia, voted against the bill in the House of Repre
sentatives. The two Senators, it is assumed, will
vote against it, Would Mr. Vice President, under
sUch circumstances, venture to vote for it
But real the circumstances be thus ? that is the
qnestion. Of the Whigs it has been feared that, in
obedience to some notice of instructions from the
Legislature of Tennessee, Mr. Jernigan might vote
for the bill. We hope not, rhea again, after the
effective exercise of discipline by which the rebel
lious members of the party in the House were
brought hi, ft does not seem a frail hope that Mr.
Niles, not lass a party man than others, will venture
to follow out the dictates of his own sense of duty
and right in opposition to party—still again we
hope. Hut all must see that a question which de
pends for its solution upon such events and such
motives, must be looked upon as most uncertain.
The country trembled in the balance. Will its
interest, its welfare, and prosperity avail, to prevent
the carrying out of this one at least of the measures,
indicated by the Baltimore Convention—es charac
teristic of the party, and identified with its triumph?

yet we will not abandon hope.
ccj. Brinkerhoff of Ohio, and Rathbun of New
York, in violation of their solemn pledges voted for
McKay's bill. This is, in a temporal sense, a pos
sibility of acquiring an eternity of infamy. W ould
it be doing Brinkerhoff and Rathbun injustice to
assign them this kind of notoriety 1
"Remarkable Revelatiots."
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier and Enquirer holds
the following language with reference to
the Oregon Treaty:
"No doubt now exists that at the tithe
when Mr. McLane forwarded the condi•
Lions which have become the basis of the
treaty, he strenuously urged the Govern
ment not to accept them as they were by
no means to be considered as an ultimat
um, but were rather to be taken as an act
of courtesy in opening the negotiation.—
It would therefor seem strange at first
blush that the Senate should so suddenly
have recommended the President to ac
cept the treaty thus proffered.
The reasons were however, and such we
understand to have been assigned in the
recent discussions, that we had every thing
to fear from our weak, wicked and ambi
tious Executive, but nothing from Great
Britan. The Senate after witnessing on
the part of the President a aeries of incon
sistensies of a character to distroy all con.
fidence either in his capacity or integrity,
were afraid to trust the subject back to his
hands, after they had once got it into their
own. Hence they adopted the treaty,
which is not as favourable as England has
once before offered, and by no means as
much so as might have been obtained, had
there been a man at the helm of the Gov.
eminent, ih whom the Senate could place
confidence.
The correspondence communicated to
the Senate doubtless surprised them.—
They learned for the first time that Mr.
Polk did not believe in our title beyond
the 49th degree north latitude—that he
was very anxious that the Senate should
extricate him from a difficulty in which
his duplicity had involved him—that he
and Mr. Bachanan, while crying aloud fur
the whole of 0: egon this side of the water,
and had rejected all the terms of settle•
ment proposed by Mr. Packenham, hail
been instructing Mr. McLane to induce
the British Governmeut to offer terms of
sonic kind, or of any kind, which should
open the door for a setlement, Amongst
documents known to exist is one written
by Mr. Buchanan to Mr. McLane, endea
vouring to prove that we reach no title
beyond the 49th parallel, and urging the
Minister to get an offer up to that point if
possible.
The developments have excited a great
degree of feeling against Mr. Buchanan,
for the part he has taken in the matter, and
should he be nominated for the Supreme
Bench his confirmation is very doubtful.
An organized opposition of considerable
numbers Ind great violence, already exists
against him in the Senate.
WAR EXPENSES AND WAR DEBT.—The
National Intelligence says :--"In the
House of Representatives on Monday, the
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means reported a bill making additional
appropriations to the 'moot (within a fare

and even refused at first to place himself at the Ilea
of his partizans. He demanded assurances that the
troops at Vera Cruz at least should rally around lits
bawler as soon as it should be unfurled in their vi.
cinity, and these have been given him. His reluc
tance, real or affected, to brave once more the storms
of Mexican public life,having been over come,he now
commits hiniself to their chalices. We have hard
ly a doubt bf his success in overthrowing Paredes.
The army which the latter is now imp e lli ng on
Montery will be glad of a fair pretext for avoiding
the fatigues and privations of a long march under
the midsummer sun of the tropics, with the certain
ty of severe fighting at the end of it, They will
declare for Santa Anr a, iii the sect et hope of avoid
ing by a revolution the toils and privations now
before them.

Stow's - Church, to allow of a mutual leave
taken between Dr. Judson and his numer

in a few slays. The liveliest interest was
expressed in the welfare of tile reverend
gentleman and his lady, and the success of
the mission with which Dr. Judson's name
has been so long associated.

British Whigs
The Logansport Telegraph gives the
best reply to this miserable cry that we
have read. It says :
"The best answer we can giie to refute
the base calumny, is to state the fact that
out of 57 persons who respuntltd to the
call of Gov. Whitcomb to save their coun
try and risk their lives in the scorching
u n of Mexico, there were
FIFTY-ONE 4 .13R1T1511 WHIGS,"
SIX PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS,
We do not state the fact with a view of
claiming exclusive patriotism for the .
Whigs, fur we are not so illiberal as to be
lieve that there is any want of patriotism
with the masses that constitute the Demo
cratic party; but we do it for the purpose
of placing the lie npon a base calumny
that is believed, and honestly, too, by
thousands of men who belong to the Dem
ocratic party.
