    CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
The following resolutions were pabsed
at the Cumberland county Locofoco mee
ting:held on the 10th instant :
Resolved, That we disapprove of the
tariff of 1846—that we are in favor of a
"revenue tariff'," that will afford " inci
dental protection to our home industry"
—that we consider the tariff of 1846 will
not produce revenue sufficient to defray
the expenses of the government economi
cally administered, is an abandonment of
the principle of incidental protection to
American industry, and in its results may
be injurious to the great iron and coal in
terests of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That our Senators and Rep
resentative in Congress who opposed the
tariff of 1846, honestly represented the
wishes and interests of their constituents.
and that their course meets with our un
qualifietl approbatio n.
Resolveci; ghat the measures of the ad
ministration of President Pot' meets with
our cordial approval, with the single ex.
ception of the tariff of 1546, and we be
lieve our sister States possess the magnan
imity speedily to repair the wrong and
redress the grievance of which we com
plain.
. OLD BERKS.',
A large meeting of the democracy of
Becks county was held at Reading, on the
4th instant, for the purpose of expressing
their views on the tariff question. Among
the resolutions passed, were the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That we, the laboring men of
Berks county, believe that the time has
arrived when it is important that we
should speak in a tone not to be misunder
stood, that we call upon the laboring men
of the country, to raise their voice against
the British tariff of forty six, and that we
. insist upon its imediate repeal.
• ReFoleed, That we call upon Congress
to re-enact the taritract of forty-two, and
which by our votes was supported in forty
four, under which as a tree people and
laboring men, we are in a more happy and
flourishing condition than we ever were
before.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That Mr. limn, the Democratic Chair
man of the Senate Committee on Finance,
timing the debate on the Tariff bill, stated
that the Bth and 9th sections were both of
them substantially COPIES OF A BRITISII
STATUTE long in operation H
That Mr. PAYNE, of Alabama, when
asked where the country would get reve
nue, replied, "Easy enough—we shall con
some FOREIGN goods instead of goods
made at home ! We shall derive a reve
nue of 5100,000,000, it need be, by nt
rORTING FIVE TIMES AS MANY AS WE NOW
bo."
That Mr. MCDUFFIE, in replying to
Mr. Webster, made use of this extraordi
nary language : "It was represented that
the LABOR of the country would be affected
by this biII—THAT (said Mr. McDuffie,
oontemptuously,) Is BUT A SMALL MAT•
TER" I I
That Mr. SEVIER of Alabama, said in
reply to Gen. CairF.Rox, who was nobly
vindicating the cause of the laborers of the
north, that labor was the same everywhere
Thus attempting to degrade the free and
independent laborers of Pennsylvania to
the level W the slaves of the South.
Laborers and working-men remember
these things.
MEETING OF LABORERS IN TROY.-A
meeting of the mechanics, tnillwrights,
blacksmiths, laborers and others, employ
ed in the Troy Vulcan Iron Works, was
held at the W or k s on the 30th ult., to con-
eider the eßects of the tepeel of the Tariff
of 1542. Resolutions was unanimously
adopted ekpressitig their conviction that
the bwners bf the Works had no alterna
tive but to close their business, and de
claring that without reference to their
former political principles, they solemnly
pledged themselves, the one to the other,
from this day forward, to oppole the party
which advocates or carries into effect a
measure which deprives them of the means
of supporting themselves and their fami
lies. This is talking to sonic purpose:
HEAR HIM
The Ohio statesman, an administration
paper, and the organ of the Locofoco
party in Ohio, makes no reserve in ex•
pressing its condemnation of Mr. Polk's
veto on the Harbor and River bill. It
says:
"The message in which the President
supports his views, is a shallow perform
ance, vulgar ir, its language, ridiculous for
its false logic, and paltry as the treatment
of a thesis by some hair splitting and wire
drawing schoolman of the middle ages,
who thought himself a great man because
like all small characters, he had mistaken
cunning for wisdom. It is, however,
quite worthy the mail whose imbecility
iias been so unhappily displayed in his ac
tion on the Oregon question—first uttering
het:stool the loudest kind, and then sneak
err to cover when the enemy's bay was
..ntly heard in the distance. There is a
tonarkable similarity in the President's
enduct on these two subjects. *
We most eaffiestly hope that the day is
nut coming when every true democrat
will have, in bitterness of heart, to ask par
don of God and man for having aided in
elevating to power, men who mistake
treachery for good conduct, and paltry
shifts for great statesmanship."
TUE OAT CIIOP of Delaware is oaid to bo very
large this year.
THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
This measure, an innovation and a nov
elty in our administrative system—onCe
already tried, and deliberately and signal
ly condemned aria renounced by the pert
ple—this offspring of abstractionism has
passed the Senate, and i iSesin to vex and
annoy the country. If ever a measure
was dtthonstFated to be unnecessary and
unwise, this t übtreasury scheme was
shown to be so by the debate which has
taken place on it. In the Senate, as well
as previously in the houin, the arguments
against it were so unaritv'ei•able that, in
the former body, the able ,o entlemen who
favortd the bill did not attempt to answer
them; But the BaltuneiVe Convention hail
willed It, and reason, and experience, and
the public convenience must yield. So
the Government must set about building
vaults and iron safes, in which to keep se
cure, and free from bank contamination,
and risk, the treasure of the Government
its Treasury notes. It is about as wise a
step as if a man having a peck of corn to
grind should set about builtlitfr a mill for
his own use: —Nut. Int.
THE ARMY OF aEN.TAtLari
The main body of Gen. Taylor's army
is yet encamped near Matamoras. One
division of it, however, has advanced to
Camargo, and we expect soon to hear that
Monterey has been taken possession of by
our troops. This post will open to us the
interior of Mexico, though it is still nine
hundred miles to the capital. Col. (now
Gen.) Kearney's force must oe now well
advanced towards Santa Fe, where, ac
cording to all accounts, there is but an in
considerable force of the Mexicans, who
will probably make no opposition to our
troops. The force seems, however, a
small one for its ulterior object of pene
trating several hundred miles farther into
Mexico, in order to unite with Gen. Tay
lor and the central army which is to
march from Antonia de Bexar. Each
will create, however, some division in the
enemy's forces, and after their junction,
they will present an overwhelming front.
We are sorry to learn that Gen. Tay
lor's army is suffering a good deal from
sickness. This is especially true of the
volunteers, some of whom have undergone
a great change of climate, and whose dig•
cipline being much less rigid than that of
the regular troops, does not admit of their
being kept wider equal restraint. We
have all along feared more for the army
from the climate, than front the enemy's
guns.—lVational Press.
ATTEM P1"1 . 0 smour A SISTER.
An attempt was made on last Thursday
week, at the City Hotel, !slew cork, by a
brother, to shoot his sister: There were
at that house a party of five i two gentle
men and three ladies, of whom Alexander
Wilson and his sister Caroline; and their
cousin, William Wilson,jr., are three. A
disagreement arose between Alexander
and his sister, concerning her property,
over which he wished to obtain the con
trol, which she refused. On Thursday
morning as Caroline was coming down
stairs to breakfast, leaning on the arm of
her cousin William, Alexander approach
ed and attempted to shoot her and her
cousin by discharging one bari•el of a six
barrelled pistol at them, which did not hit
Diem. lie then snapped a second barrel at
them, which was hot however discharged,
when he fled and has hot been appaehend
ed. Caroline, his sister, and Wm. Wil
son, her cousin, went to the police office
and preferred a complaint against him.
STARTLINd RUMOR.
The Bath (Maine) Enquirer Says:—
" Twelve years ago last fall, a brig call
ed the "Nile," Capt. Brookings, sailed
horn this port for the West Indies. Sub
sequently she was found bottom up, ashore
on Bermuda. It was supposed that her
officers and crew had found a watery
grave. Last week, a young man named
Reed, returned home to Woolwich, after
an absence in Mexico and South America
of six years, and he states that he saw in
California a man named lines, who •ailed
in the Nile—that Jones stated that when
in the neighborhood of Bermuda, the brig
was fallen in with by a rakish craft, that
she was robbed of all her valuables, that
Capt: Brookings and alt his e!•ew were
transferred to the pirate vessel the &Ile
was then scuttled, the ci'ew ivere tak'•n to
the south side of Cuba, transferred tO
another vessel, carried to Mericci; plated
in the mines; and there they have been
kept at !Mier ever since, being allowed
one hod,- id twenty-four. Jones, by dint
of good fortune, Succeeded in escaping,
some five or six years since, and in find
ing his way to California, where he is now
living. 'lke report has caused some ex
citentent in this region, and we under
stand that measures are on loot to test its
correctness. Mr. Reed's friends have no
doubt of his veracity."
A SERIOUS QUESTION SOLtED,
The New Orleans Delta says—' Lord
Rosse's immense telescope, according to
Dr. Scoresby, the astronomer, clearly
shows objects on the moon's surface sixty
feet in height. Through this powerful
instrument, rocks, innumerable masses of
stone, craters of extinct volcanoes, &c.,
arc seen. All seems chaos and desola
tion, not a vestige of anything that looks
like animation or life being perceptible.
Now the question has been asked, what is
the reason of all this desolation ? We
believe it to be owing to the entire triumph
of locofoco principles in that planet."
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
We learn from an ettra issued from
the Intelligencer" office, that Harris
burg has been Visited by another calamity•
That paper says:
"At about 5 o'clock, on the evening of
the 20th inst. a fire broke out in the steam
saw mill of John McAllister, in the upper
end of Second street. The mill was soon
enveloped in flames, and the wind blow
ing a strong gale from the East, the fire
spread with great rapidity to the neighbor
ing buildings, and proved quite tlestruc•
tive.
" The saw mill, the burr mantactory
of Mr. Win. 11. Kepner, the stnith shop
of Mr. Ktinkel . , a small tlwellini , house of
Mrs. Weririch's, and one of M r. Awl's,
and five or six stables, were totally de
stroyed, and two other houses of Mr.
Awl's, adjoining, were amidst wholly de
stroyed, the roofs being entirely burned
off.
"The buildings were all frame; and,
we believe, were generally covered by in
surance.
"The latgs brick ditelling house of
Mr. Verbeck, now occupied by the mili
tary school, was in great danger. The
roof was frequently in a !Ante, and was
considerably burned. 'the stable attach
ed was but•ned to the ground.
"The roof of the Ronan Catholic Church
and several other buildings farthel west,
were several times on fire. The Hall of
the Sons of Temperahce on the east of the'
mill, was also in danger, but was saved
from. injury.
" The saw mill wan rtcantly, purchased
by Mr. McAllister, from Mr. W. HI Kep
ner."
TRADES, &c., IN THE UNTO,
The number of persons engaged in ag'
riculture in the United States ih 1840,
was 3,719,951, according to the census
taken in that year. At the same tints the
number of persons engaged in other pur
suits, was only 1,078,818, as follows
Mining, 15,910
Commerce, 117,607
Manufactures and trades, 791,749
Navigation of the ocean, 56,021
Inland navigation, 22,976
Learned professions,
This statement includes, of course, only
that part of the population old enough to
be engaged in business. We presume ,
too, it includes lew, if any, females.
GEN. JACKSON AND AMERICAN
LABOR.
As long ago as April, 1824, Gen. Jack
son held this langunge to Dr. Coleman, of
N. Caroliha t
" In short, Sir; we have been too long
subject to the policy of British :merchants.
It is tinte we should become a little more
Anieritanited, and instead of feeding pau
pers and labOrers of Eftland; feed our
own; or else, in it short time, by tontinu
ing our present policy, we Shall be ren
dered paupers ourselves. It is, therefore,
any Opinion, that a careful add judicious
tariff is much wanted to pay ditr national
debt, and to afford us the means of that de
fence within ourselves, on which the safety
of our country depends=—and last, though
nut least , give a proper distribution to our
labor, which must prove beneficial to the
happiness, irldepentlence, and wealth of
the community.
I am, sir, Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
ANDREW JACKSON."
Allintion in a Nitta.
The Woodville (Ala.,) Republican
states that on Pittsbarre plantation two lit
tle negro boys Were tecently riding on an
old pony in puriuit of cattle, when all on
a sudden, a wild cat leaped from a fence
upon the pony and seized one of the
children: The pony in a fright jumped
away. The older boy seized the cat, to
rescue the other from his claws and teeth,
when the pdtty returned to their rescue,
and actually stamped the wild cat to
death! The pony is a pet, some 25 years
