Blair county, in opposition to the Whig
nominee. Just what we expected from
one who has, on mare occasions than

of Mr. R. and his friends, we should say
the Sentinel is working at an up-hill
business. They are not the kind of

Our Candidate.
The following complimentary notice
of our Candidate for Congress in this
district, we clip from the last Clinton
County Whig :
Hon. JOHN BLANCIIARD, has been re
nominated for Congress in the 17th Con
gressional district. Mr. B. is a man of
superior abilities, sterling integrity, and
a Whig who has been weiFfied in the bal
ance and not found wanting. The peo
ple of the "Iron district''' . were him a debt
of gratitude for the zeal and ability with
which he advocated their interests in
the last Congress ; and we hope' they
will re-elect him by an increased major
ity: For his indefatigable exertions to
defeat the passage of the British Tariff
Bill' of 1846, he is entitled toand should
receive the hearty support of every Tar
iff man in the district. 4 ' BLANCHARD
AND REPEAL!" With this as their motto,
the Whigs of the 17th district must suc
-ped.

ANOTHER .. KANE" FRAUD ,
Gen. A. P. Wilson's Letter on the Tariff.
The Globe of last week contains a
letter froin Gen. Wilson, on the subject
of the Tariff. As we feel a deep inter
est in all that concerns the protective
policy, we at once sat down to the peru
sal of this document, in the hope that
the General had, in co-operation with
his Anti-Shunk Democratic friends of
Dauphin county, come out boldly for the
Repeal of the British Tariff of 1848.
But, alas! how short lived was that
hope! Instead of denouncing the late
bill of " destruction," and defending the
act of '42, which he told The people in
the last Preskientittl chthpnign was a
wise and salutary enactment—and even
pledged hiins'elf to them that in the
event Of Mr. Polk's eleetion it Would
not be disturbed—he professes now to
be Opposed to both the Tariff of 1842,
and the new bill passed by his Lbcofoco
friettds at the last session of Congress ;
and intintatft that Pennsylvania should
tittet her Southern friends " half way."
in b4her Words—that the Industry of the
North should be COMPROMISED, to
conciliate the SLAVE ARISTOCRACY
of the South. In his whole argument
Upon this question, the General appears
Ito "have an eye" only to what may suit
Ithe tastes of all the different factions of
the Locofoco party in this District, in
stead of evincing an honest desire to
support a Tariff system that would ben
efit the whole people of the North—the
employed as well as the employers
But in regard to General's presefit
pti
sition on the Tariff question, we will give
I lan extract from his letter. He says:
Diversified as the interests of this great coun
try are, with the exclusive planting States. Iwnefated
as their people hold by low duties; and the pros
perity of the mineral sod manufacturing States,
advanced, as their citizens believe, by duties so high
as to excletle, in a great measure, foreign compel!.
Lion, my deliberate opinion le i that the true policy
of the eoulitry will be found to be in a Mr and just
pttlht of COMPROMiSt between the Act of '42
and the Act trf
Now, ihsteod ot attempting to pttltn
upon the people a new DECEPTION; With
the view of MISLEADINti them still
further, Mt SO Vitally important a ques
tion as the otie under consideration—
one upon which the daily bread of thou
sands of hard-working Freemen of the
North depends—a , . put it to every can
did, reasonable man within the bounds
of this Congressional District, whether
it woold hot have been more manly in
the General to have frankly stated in
hie letter that, under an erroneous im.
pression of the principles of his party,
he had aided in the campaign of '44 in
deceiving the People in relation to Mr,
Polk's opinions on the Tariff, when he
declared him to be a better TitritrffiNtt
than Henry clny f t -- -, that he did vote fdr
Mr. Polk in the 13aftiniore Convention,
I and thereby aided in fastening upon the
I people of the North, not only FREE
TRADE, but also another darling scheme
Of the Slave holders, whereby to extend
their power.--the ANNEXATION OF
TEXAS; and that this latter measure
had rest/hod as was predicted by its
opponents, itt a War with Mexico, which
it is belietred tri:ll cost the country not
less than ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS—which enormous sum will ulti
mately have to paid out of the pockets
of the people, by means of DIRECT
TAXATION And then, after having
honestly confessed his errors, announced
his determination, if elected, ter de all
in his power to resto're the protective'
features of the Tariff of 1842, and thus
make atonement for flia errors into which
he was instrumental in lenediog the peo
ple. We think all will agree that this
would have been the most honest as well
the most politic course for the General
to have pursued, if he desires to succeed
before an upright and intelligent corn
', mintity,
The middle course of policy advoca
ted by the General, is nothing more nor
less than a mere ELECTIONEERING
TRICK, intended io entrap the unwary.
He talks about Iva amendmetet of the bill of
'46, so far ee the "interests of Penn's.
are concerned Passing over this un
statesmanfike view of the Tariff policy,.
we will give a few extracts from Loco ,
papers of other Statevt,. to show that the
Free Traders have no idttt of favoring
any thing of the kind, so long as they
retain power ; and that if the bill should
be changed by them, it would be in the
desceadissg,• instead of the dueled* soak
Witness the following, which we copy
from the New York Globe of Sept. 2, a
leading adminisiration journal of the
Commercial Emporium:
" We have made urour mind to state
plainly to those who wisi.t. to hold out in
-1 ducements to a portion or tilt people of
Pennsylvania, that the nett Congress
will increase the duty on CO./IL and
IRON, that no such thing will occur.
We say to Pennsylvania, that the next
change in the duty to Iron will be made
in the DESCENDING, instett'd of the
disc ENDANG schle."
The CATlekon (S. C.) Mercury in
alluding to the British Tariff of . 1846,
says:
It is far too high on a considerable
list of important articles, and for a just
tarenue system, too low on others. The
diities on COAL, IRON, woolens, wool,
wines and some other articles, are too
high for revenue. The Tariff too, in
ordinary times, will produce more re
venue than the Government ought to
spoilt!: At pretttht it is needed, and
will bd for beVeral years, and until that
necessity disappears, there will proba
bly be no ESSENTIAL MODIFICA
TION."
Read also the following, from the New
York Evening Post of Aug. 28, another
leading Locofoco paper
"THE TARIFF OF 1846.—We shall
calmly 'wait the tide of events, 3 till it
shall have been shown that the present
duties are altbgethnt lob high, and the
people demand another reduction of the
rates. Iti less than three years, we pre
dict theft Will be another overhauling
of these exorbitant and fraudulent exac
tions•:'
We think the abos sufficiently plain
to convince eVety candid man, that all this
talk about an amendment to the present
British Tariff bill, by the Locofoco par
ty, is all a Hunmeo--and only intended
as another grand FRaUD U.POJV THE
PEOPLE—such as was practiced upon
them by the celebrated "KIINE LET
TER, in 1844.,
O Paragtapb or taro_ for "Laboring
Men."
Although we are unable to make room
for the whole of Gen. Wilson's letter
on the Tariff, we cannot refrain from
giving our readers a paragraph or two
from it, treating upon a subject in which
We have always felt a deep interest, viz
that of raising the price of labor. In
speaking bf this subject, the General
silts
Acting this alteration, there should he dite
thing kept steadily in view, it is this, that maldthil
legislation upon this subject shoUld eitend beyond
the manufacturer—that care shtittld be taken that
the benefits granted to the laborer should not be ap-
propriated and monopolised by hie employer. That
this has been too much the case heretofore, I am
fully convinced, and although I would keeps the
Manufacturers interest in view, in amending)) the
Act of '46 y.t I would regard it, as of supbrior
importance to strike upon some plan That would
snake the wages of the laborer high—that would
give to hottest industry employed in our mines and
manufacturers, a full, and a fair equivalent for work
I think It the policy of the government to War
these great ihtereste, end as i said before MY eye
should bo had to their improvement ih othet4ing
the Act of '4O; bat somedietinct firolnstel should
be made for the laborer, whereby IN timhte would
be amply protected. For although the ihtereets of
the manufactlifet, and laborer, are to some extent
identical, you &hot always protect the latter, by
extending reaction to the forrtier. This calls for
a remedy, and it shOuld be speed if possible when
the Act of '46 is amended, as I have no doubt it
will be, let our Congressional elections result as
they may."
Do ydu lieu that, Laboring men of
the 17th Congressional District I Now,
this is the very thing that we have been
laboring to arrive at; and it is certainly,
so far as we know, the prime object of
the, whole body of the friends of protec
tion. We read this portion of the Gen
eral's letter with the greatest possible
avidity, expecting in ever,' new para
graph to find the new plan of securing
high wages to the laborer, but felt
grievously disappointed when we found
that all the General can do, at present,
is to wish that wages may become higher.
We regret Much that he has not favored
the pate with his new plan of raising
*ages. Come General, let us have no
State Secrets." You ought, as a good
Locofoco, to let the world know the se ,
cret of getting high wages. Ever since
we read this letter, we have been dream
' ing, even with our eyes open, of these
same high wages, unlit *e have almost
determined to give up the unprofitable
cares of Editor and printer of a country
newspaper, for ffi4 Aigh wages that mast
follow the meeting of flit next Congress,
should our neighbor be elected. Bet,
General, we should like to kite)* your
plan. If your fertile imagination has
devised any better project for securing a
just reward to hard labor, than that
which was devised by the makers of the
Tariff law of 1842, and you will lay it
fully before us in another letter, and
pledge yourself to bring it before the
next Congress, if elected, and sustain it
there,. We gin you our word of honor to
vote for yeti: But so long as you keep
your gains to'' we shall be ap
prehenniVo that tebe have nothing better
Co offer' tie* ate British Tariff of 1846 ;,
and that in all your talk about high
wages, you have an " eye" to nothing
I but our votes: And we shall therefore
be compelled to* ealt our own vote, and
advise every laboring man in the district
to do likewise, for Honest JOHN BLANCH ,
ARD, who has already nobly sustained
the rights of the Northern Laborer upoil
tht floor of Congress, by insisting epost
having his labor pibtected against the
pauper labor of Europe.
A Word to our Whig Friends.
Whigs of Huntingdon county, if there
ever was a time in the history of this
country, when it was your solemn and
imperative duty to stand fast by your
candidates and your principles, this is
the time, and no time more meet and
fit than this.
The Locofocos have at last hrought
themselves to a point where they must
take issue. They, cannot eactwe or
evade it ; and that issue is as clear and
distinct, as it is important. It is Free
Trade on the one hand and Protection
to Americdn Labor on the other. Here,
then, we join issue=the Whigs in
fairer of Protection, and the Locofocos
opposed tb it:
It is in vain that they attenipt to de
ceive the people again, or divert their ttt;
tention from the true question before
them now, having already violated and
shamefully falsified all their promises
and declarations made in '44, and in the
violation of those pledges, they have
established their lasting infamy, and con
cdded our honesty.
And new, that we have brought them
to a point from which they cannot es
cape, let the Whigs but prove true to
themselves, and they have nothing to
fear. Standing, as they do, upon the
eternal principles of Truth and Justice,
there . Ict them ever stand, with their in
tegrity uncompromised, and their an
cient doctrines unsurrendered. tut it
is not only the duty of every Whig, but
it is equally the duty of every freeman,
to come boldly out and take hiA stand,
regardless of consequences, On the Side .
of his country's interests; This is no
time to talk of Patty ties and Ptirty at
tachments j high interests are involved
here--ititerests that rise above and be
kond fill Petty organization; and it be
comes eVery man, when he finds that
his Party is about to plunge the coun
try and all its hopes, into the night of
ruin and disaster, to sunder at once
every ligament that binds him tti that
Party, and join with the Men& of his
country:
The Locofocos iveii kiume s yes; and
they feel it too, that they have basely
deceived the people—that they have
bartered away their dearest interests,
and given a death blow to American In
dustry. And all they have now to de
pend on to save them from sinking into
that infamy their doings so richly merit s
is Party Orgagizd,tioti.
They iiow charge the Whigs with et ,
deavoring to create a panics and iftpu
dcntly tell them to remain quiet, passive,
and submissive, under this deep inflic
tion of wrong ; that although we are
struggling to inainfain an etistence
which is threatened by Locofoco
yet we have no right to talk about the
consequences of their measures, as
though it were High Treason in Amer- .
scan Citizens to express themselfte free ,
ly on matters that concern their inter
ests, because an insolent official organ
of an impotent Executive, has dictated
a different course to the People! After
all this deception, this abused confidences
this violated faith, Ehis falsehood,
this ungetietous treatnients they add in ,
suit to injury, and attempt to quiet the
people, and lay new grounds for DECEP-
TioN and IMPOSITION.
The result of this Fall's election can
not fail to tie attended with important
consequences. Pennsylvania has now
to say whether she is willing to surren
der and give up all hei' interests at the
inverious bidding of Party, or whether
she *ill 'Wert her majesty, her strength
and her independence,. by coming
out to the polls, and overwhelming
her deceivers with defeat. This may
be the last opportunity she may have.—
If the P'andals can succeed this fall,
they will regard her as bound hand and
foot.
Again, we say, let every man be at his
post in the time of duty, remembering
that it is for his country he labors.
Take it Easy !
We see that the Huntingdon Globe
and " Journal" are giving each other a
"stirring up." Keep cool gentlemen,
your day will_ soon be past !—Jrative
Sentinel.
Well that's "cool." We can only
say,. that if our ,day' lasts until vi}e are
superceded by Nativism; the present
generftion Will have us with them for
good or for ail.
VERY IM - PORTAN"-
A si
LETTER FROM LABORING ME, T
TO GEN. A. P. WILSON.
To the exclusion of other matter, we
hasten to lay the letter of the under
signed Laboring Men, of Porter town
ship, to General Wilson, before the pub
lic. As the General has expressed such
an earnest desire to see the condition of
this meritorious class of our citizens
benefitted, we hope he will lose no time
iH promptly answering the somewhat
poitttld interrogatories propounded by
Hid= We like to see the laboring men
take this matter into their own hands.
It looki as though they had determined.
that demagogues should no longer prac
tice upon them by their hollow and un-
I meaning professions of friendship : and
that to secure their votes, some tangible
evidence of sincerity riiust be produced.
Laboring mem! read this letter, and then
hand it to your neighbor:
POUTER TowNsuir, Sept. 21, 1846.
den. A. P. Wieeox—Sir :—We were right
glad td dee your letter in the Title Derriocrat,"
actcptieg the nbmination for Congress in the 17th
district—(and we suppose this letter is also pub
lished in all the Local:ice papers in the district.)—
We say we Were &Ili to see it—because there is
evidently a willingness to be free in giving your
views. As your answer to the Committee is a
good deal more general than their note; and seethe
to be a little more than the Committee asked or
wanted—still they must be highly gratified with it
—for the truth ie, it is so well prepared, that we
cannot see how eny man of either party, or faction.
cnn find fault with it. In truth, it is like some of
the Tariff's we have heard of—.. suitable !" "judi
cious !!" Indeed, it's a suitable letter!
We see however that you feel and exptese a
strong desire to benefit the laboring men, ehould
you have an opportunity to try your hand in amen
ding the law of '46. Now while we are willing to
giye vitt a great deal cif ete'dit for the suggestion in
your letter, vie :=That let amending the late some
plan should be adopted to Make our ibaget high
and keep them high." We want to understand
it. For in truth we have been fed too long on Ba
con not to he judges of gammon
'
You will not therefore we hope, consider tie as
impertinent; in Offering to you a few inquiries,
even though they are somewhat definite, and seem
to demand direct answers. Now if we understand
your letter rightly, you are opposed to the repeal
of the late Tariff Ad of 1846, but in favor of
amending—and our questions shall be in that
shape.
In amending the law of '46, what plan do you
propose, so that protection shall be put to our wages .
to make them higher?
Cannot you just as well amend it at the same
time by saying that no laboring than . (end if you
cannot make it general, say in jour district) shall
be compelled to pay fit atiy time, rake than 10
cents a poured for bacon, or 75 cents N gallon for
New Otlehtts Molasses- 7 and further, that *beet
shall always bring the farmer $1 per Mattel I
And oleo, &at no lawyer shall charge a workihg
nyeln More than half .the sum collected, when it is
over filly dollars, nor More than three-fourths when
it is under that stem; and for di dlttO legal ser
vice. not n'tOY6 theft at the rate Of a manilla wages
of ts Workingman, for four hours of his time?
Could you not just as easy amend the law, so
that the owners of large establishments cannot stop
them just when they please to do Rol If so, it
would give the lahm or constant employ, and atop
the system of getting up panics ! These refOirlas
in the law are of the same kind tie those suggested
by you, and will strike every mind as equally im
portant and Just. if you can agree to go an for
then; yen will, we have no doubt, convince the
Farmer iihil Warkingman that you are for pro
tecting them, and will thew to the world that great
statesmanship is not confined alone to cities.
One question more, and we have done. Would
you sustthn the fat* of 1846, if the Coax and Incur
only were further protected I
We shall patiently wait your candid anti explicit
answers to our setrotal queries—as we feel very
deeply interreeteal in the consequeficee involted
therein.

DELPHIA.—The members of this frater

Thursday last. The dedication of a
new Hall, erected by the Grand and
subordinate Lodges of Philadelphia,
was the occasion of the display. The
Pa. Inquirer, in speaking of this pro
cession, says :
It is long since we have had such a
pageant in Philadelphia—long since so
large a portion of our population ap
peared to take so lively an interest in a
displrfy of the kind. There was, in
deed, a general hollida.y ; and although
but few stares were closed, business
seemed out of the question, at least for
the greater part of the day. The mu
sic, the banners, the badges, the excited
looks of the strangers, the merry voices
of children ; the mounted marshals, the
regalia, the hurrying to and fro, the '
eager expectation—all served to pro
duce an extraordinary feeling in the
community, and to kindle even the tor
pid and indifferent into some degree of
interest and animation. The river
diew in the morning was particularly,
fine. It reminded one of the Fourth of
July: The numerous steamers arriving
with throngs of Odd Fellows, and co
vered with flags streaming in the wind,
while the air was filled with music, pre
sented a gay and animating scene."
