The Last. k‘ KANE)) Letter.
Mr. CLARK—As' you did not publish
the whole of Gen. Wilson's letter, 1
have thought :that it would be as well
to give the thing entire. Our opponents
say, extracts are garbled, statements;
I and as my opinion is that the more an
intelligent man sees of such a prcid.uc
tion, the worse for its author, I desire
you to publish the whole of that letter
this week, with a few interlined notes
and comments. How it was called out,
no matter, it now belongs to the public.
I want them to see it all, and it matters
not who is its putative father, I am wil ,
ling to say the General is.
Oren. *Mon was a member of the
Baltimore Convention ; it palmed upon
the people Polk and Dallas ; and pro
claimed Revenue Tariff doctrine—he
marched behind the banner of 1844, in ,
scribed " Polk,•Dallas and the Tariff of
184 , 2"—he read the "Kane Letter," and
made speeches; to prove that that ban
ner was not a liaud,—he was one of the
party, and one of the men, that by such
banners, and that letter, deceived many
honest voters of Pennsylvania. Let the
reader bear this all in mind; and what
is intended by this letter will be easily
•undeastood. Will they be decieved again?
Time will tell.
Huirrixonom, Sept. 14, 1840,
GP:x•rLsmrw
I have received your communication of the 10th
informing me that I had been selected by your
Convention as the Democratic candidate for Con
gram, in this District. I accept the nomination so
kindly tendered me; and be the result of the can
vass what it may, this additional evidence of the
friendly feeling of the democratic party of Centre,
Mifflin, Blair, Juniata and Huntingdon counties,
will ever be remembered by me with heartfelt gra
titude.
-- Although not asked by you for an expression of
opinion in reference to the Tariff policy, yet I deem
it my duty—so absorbing is the question—to con,
municate my views upon it, with frankness and
candor. lam well aware of the great difference of
, oAirrion , thst preyedee not only Pennsylvania, but
every State in the Union, as to the policy to be ob.
servdd: in framing a system of duties upon imports.
I fbel'ehe delicacy of approaching the Tariff ques
tion et tt time like , this, when the public mind
throughout the Union is heated and agitated by
corrliibtittg views; yet I am not ernbarrassed,by any
persoult:teltictance, in making mine known. They
shalfteigiven with frankness; and if the exression
of than' is attended with unpleasant consequences,
to 'Awe% I will have the consolation in misfortune,
of knaving that I acted straightforwardly, and as
every , candidate for public trust should act.
After this, one would expect nothing
but'qrankness," "candor" and "straight
fortvardness." One who knew all the
facts •would suppose, that aft acknowl-
Vdgentliht of the deceit and fraud of '44,
Was about to be made, and after asking
'paidon, I presume, was going to promise
I'6 do so no more;but instead of that, he
attempts to play a game of the same
kind. But hear him.
!`hat it is clearly the policy of Pennsylvania to
have an eye to something more than mere revenue'
for the support of government in assessing duties
upon imports, but few will deny. if discrimina
tion in favor of her Iron, Coal. and many branches
offter mechanical industry are lost eight of, I am
firmly of the opinion that her interests are ruinously
compromised.
Pennsylvania's policy is to have an
eye to something more thiin Revenue,—
her interests are ruinously compromised
if discriminations in favor of iron and
coal, &c., are lost sight of. Few men
will deny that, he says, but doeS he
rankly say, he is one of those few ? No !
)oes he say Pennsylvania's interests
L i
mve been compromised by the act of
16 1 Oh, no 1 Tariff men must guess
at to be his meaning. .
The Tariff of '42 undoubtedly guarded with es
mial care those interests. It has been repealed, and
)thing short of revolution in public opinion upon
this question in the exclusive cotton, rice, tobacco,
arid grain growirig Btatee, can restore that act for
many years. In regard to ita merits lam free to
Nay that it had many. That it had defects has been
generally admitted. Messrs.-Buchanan, Sturgeon,
end other . Democratic Senators, whose votes passed
it id the Senate, protested against its objectionable
proilslorfa, at die time of its firmament; and I as
cribe the opposition of Meesre. Berrien, Archer,
Mangum, and Oilier Whlg gbhator., tb the Act of
'42, when on itd final plumage In the Senate, to
their knowledge bt itb Imperfectiona. That it was
oppressive in sortie of its features to dihbr portions
of the Confederacy, however beneficial to Pehnsyl
vania, I cannot but believe. My eedrso, hail I been
a member of the Congress of '42, wohlil .have been
the mine as that of eve& Demekratic Reputllican
from this State. I shndld have voted for it with a
determination to remedy its defecta, as tifite.deveid:
ped them. In reference In the measure that lies
been substituted for it, the Act of '46, I say.
with
out hesitation, that had I been a member of the !A
etna Congress my vote would have been found re
corder], in company with the Pennsylvania delega'
tion against its passage. If the Act of '42 prefixed
be id alleged Southern and Western interests, the
' Act of '46 comes before the country with just as
glaring arid serious evils by beating with unreason
bly severity upon the mining and manufacturing
States. If the act of '42 is too protective in its pro
visions, the Act of '46 is distinguished by the other
extreme—it has not guarded the interests of the nr
tizan and laborer eufficiently. Aa between the Iwo
hulk I immeasurably prefer the old one. I prefer
it, because I believe it prefers Pennsylvania inter
ests; and believing that such are its effects, and that
the results of the new Bill, as it stands, will hear
hard upon us, I would be censurable did I not
prefer it.
The Tariff' of '42 guarded Pensylva ,
nia's interest with special care—it has
been repealed, and cannot It restored for
many years, without a revolution in
the South and West—it had merits—
it had defects—it was oppressive to
some portions of the confederacy—if he
had been in Congress he would have vo
ted with his party members from this
State." All this he says. The act of
'42 CANNOT BE RESTORED, his
mind is made up on that, uhtil the slave
labor of the South and the free labor of
the North can unite; if lie means any
thing it is that. Of course he will not
adhere to the rights of the -Vora., be.
cause, (now mark the reason he gives,)
THEY ARE OPPRESSIVE TO THE
SOUTH. indeed ! All Free Trade
men say so, but no protectionist will ad
mit it, they all say it is better for our
country to manufacture and sell, and
keep our laborers independent—theft to
buy from the British and give them our
money to pay for their pauper labor,
and thus make paupers of our own man
ufacturers. Every Tariff man can see
the cloven foot of Southern Free Trade
in this part of the letter. I say look out.
I question not the integrity or patriotism of the
Mali who, believing that the act of '46 will operate
more favorably to Pennsylvania than the act of '42,
prefer. it/ I accord to him the same freedom of
opinion that I claim for myself. But to my mind
the true policy of Pennsylvania lies neither in a
pertinacious adherence to the act of '42, nor a fran
tic opposition to the measure substituted for it. It,
in my judgment, will be found in surrendering her
extreme views, if a correspondent dieposition is man-
Herded by States holding opposite opinion.. Diver
sified as the interests of this great country are, with
the exclusive planting States, Imnefitted as their
people hold by low duties; and the prosperity of
the mineral and manufacturing States edvanced, de
their citizens believe, by duties so high no to ex
clude in a great measure foreign competition, my
deliberate opihicm is. that the true policy of the
country will be found to be in a fair and just point
of compromise between the act of '42 and the act
of '4O.
The history of the past admonishes us, that nei
ther extreme can be permanent. And all experi
ence testifies, that stability is a necessary element
to the success of every measure of this nurture.
Looking to permanency, then, as of primary im
portance to the successful operation of any bill, and
convinced as I am, that we can never hate that
without mutual concession and compromise, from
the different sections of the Union, it is my opin
ion that it is the sound policy of Pennsylvania to
meet her sister States half way, upon the floor of
Congress, and by yielding, to fl reasonable extent,
her extreme views upon this subject, invite a simi
lar surrender of the ultra anti•prolective opinions
of the Southern and Western States.
I feel satisfied that this magnanimity coming
from a State that has ever been conspieuons in her
efforts to promote harmony and good feeling
tht oughout the whole country, would he app• eci
ated by the South and West, and met in the same
spirit, and that this vexed question would be perma
nently settled upon a just basis.
Here the delicacy of the subject is de
veloped. The General knows that there
are a few men who are opposed to all
Protective Tariffs; he knows to which
party they belong, and with the great
est delicacy he reaches for them. He
don't doubt their patriotism—he is not
for a frantic opposition to the act of '46
—he is for surrendering extreme views,
and a fair compromise. How frank and
candid for a man who went for "Polk,
Dallas and the Tariff of '42"—the Reve
nue Tariff of the Baltimore Convention
and the Kane Letter—very candid! for
it's the same game still. Like a boy
fishing with three hooks on his line, one
baited with a worm to catch gudgeons
another with a chub, for pike—the third
with a piece of fresh meat for snappers,
he did'nt catch even a bite. Now, you
who are for the act of '42--you who are
for the act of '46—and you who are in a
state of "belweenity," the General has
baited a hook for each of you; if you
will bite, you may be—caught.
That Pennsylvania will never acquiesce in' the
duties fined by the act of '46,•1 regard as absolute
ly certain. I entertain' the same views upon this
subject that I believe the great mass of her citizens
held, end that is; that they are too low for revenue,
and entirely too low for adequate protection.
Tho provisions of the act of 'IR, in my judg
latent, abandon the protective policy altogether, and
I would, therefore, Plonk] J be eleclei to represent
this district in Congress, use every effort to amend
that act so as to extend to the mantiricturere, la
borers in our coal mines, iron work., and the other
brani•tiee of mechanical employment that recibire
it, that fair preference over foreign labor, that they
need and should have, at the same time being care
ful to avoid the introdhlion of any change
tad to prejudice the Partner.
He believes the act of '46 entirely tob
low for adequate protection. So do fill
the Free Trade Men ; for they are op
posed to adequate protection ; and does
the General say lie is in favor of it?
No, indeed ! But he says about as
much 16 Sir Robett Walker would say ;
he iM for tis MuCh its he thinks is needed
or retlitired.
lit effecting thin elteration, there should be onq
thing kept steadily in view; it is this, that national
legislation upon this subject should extend beyrthti
the manufacturer—that care should be token the
the benefits granted to the laborer should hot e
appropriated and monopolized by hi, employer.
That this has been too much the case hetetoltire,
sin fully convinced, and although I would keel, the
manufacturers interest in view, in amending the
act of '46, yet I would regard it as of superior im
portance, to stiiko upon some plan that would
make the wages of the laborer high—that would
give to honest industry employed in our mines and
manufactories a full and fait equivalent for work
done.
I think it the policy of the government to tooter
three great interests, and as I said before, en eye
should be had to their improvement, in amending
the act of '46, but some distinct provision should
he made for the laborer, whereby his rights weekd
be amply protected. For although the interests of
the manufacturer and labor er are, to some extent,
identical, you do not always protect the latter by
extending protection to the former. This calls foe
a remedy, and it should be applied, 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.
With this expression of opinion, I leave the
whole subject with the people of the district, to car
ry out their views upon this difficult question,by the
election of a man whose opihiona coincide with the
majority, lam respectfully,
YOttr friend.
A. P. WILSON.
To john P. Packer, William Kearns and James
Cunningham, Esqrs., Committee.
The low and paltry attempt made in
the last part of the letter to humbug the
laborer, is too contemptible to receive a
serious notice. It was well disposed of
in your last paper by a few honest labor
ing men. In truth, if there is anything
in the letter to make me doubt its pa
ternity, it is this; and I do not wonder
that some of the General's friends say
he did not write such a specinten of
meanhess and folly.
A REAL TARIFF MAN
A LETTER FROM LABORING MEN
TO GEN. A. P. WILSON.
As we insert Gen. Wilson's letter en
tire, we thought it to more than fair to•
give the Laboring Men, who addressed
the General, another hearing. The Lo
foco papers, with all their professions of
friendship for the poor, have not, as yet,
deigned to publish this letter.
PORTER TOWNSHIP, Sept. 21, 1846,
Gen. A. P. WlLsoN—Sir:—We were right
glad to see your letter in the True Democrat,"
accepting the nomination for Congress in the 17th
district— (and we suppose this letter is also pub
fished in all the Locoloco papers in the district.)—
We trey we were glad 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 seems
to be a little more than the Committee asked or
wanted—still they must be highly gratified with it
—for the truth is, it is so well prepared, that tee
cannot see how any man of either party, or faction.
con find fault with it. In truth, it is like some of
the Tariff e we have heard of—" suitable !"
dons !!" Indeed, it's a suitable, letter! I
We see however that you feel and express
strong desire to beneth the laboring nail, should
you have an opportunity to try your hand in amen
ding the law of '46. Now while we are willing to
give you a great deal ef credit for the suggestion in
your letter, viz.—That in amending the law some
plan should be adopted to make our wages high
and keep them high." We want to understood
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 us as
impertinent, in of irting to you a few inquiries.
i even thotilh they are eemewhat definite, and seem
to demand direct answers. Now if we understan 1
your letter rightly, you are opposed to the repeal
of the late Tariff Act of 1846, but in favor of
amending—and our questions shall be in that
shape.
In airieriding the law of '46, what plan do you
I propose, so that protection shall be put to our wages
to make them higher?
I Cannot you just as well amend it at the same
time by saying that no laboring man (and if you
cannot make it general, say in your district), ebyrll
be compelled to pay at any time, Moro gtoa i 0
cents it pound for bacon, or 75 cents a gallon far
New Orleans mcdesses—and further, that silica
shall always bring the farmer ft per Istshel ?
And also, that nu lawyer shall charge a working
man more than ho/f the sum collected, when it is
over fifty dollars, nor more than three fourths when
it is under that sum; and for all other legal ser
i vices not inure than at the rate of a months wages
I of a workingman, fat four hours of his time?
Could you not just as easy amend the law, so
that the owners of large eetablish men to cannot stop
I them just when they please to do so? If so, it
would give the labo , ise constant employ, anti stop
the system of getting up panics ! These reforms
in the law are of the same kind as those euggeeted
by you. and will strike every mind es equally/ im
portant and just. If you can agree to go in for
them, you will, we have no doubt, convince the
Farmer and Workingman that you are for pro
tecting them, and will chew to the world that great
etatesmanehip is not confined alone to cities.
One qnestion more, and we have done. Would
you sustain the law of 1846, if the COAL and !nor(
only were further protected ?
We shall patiently wait your candid and explicit
answers to our serous I queriee—aa we feel very
deeply interrested in the consequences involved
therein.
Very mpectfully yours, &c.,

TIIE TARIFF UN IRON
There are those, says the Sunbury
American, (locofoco paper) who know
but little apd care less about the oper
ations of th e e. Tariff, who ask whether,
30 per cent. is not enough on pig iron.
Thirty 'per cent: on the present price, it
is true, would be sufficient to enable out
iron men to carry oh their operations
successfully. The present price of pig
iron at Liverpool is about $2O per ton.
Thirty per cent. duty would be s 6.—
Treight, commissions ; would bring
the price up to about $3O per ton. It
is the fluctuating, uncertain ad valorem
principle we complain of. It diminishes
the duty when it is necessary it should
increase. For instance, 30 per cent. on
the present price of iron in Liverpool is
116. But suppose the price should fall
by some revulsion in the markets,
(which has frequently been the case,)
4;18 per ton then 30 per cent on the
price would s3—add, say four for
freight, commissions, &c., would make
it worth, at New York or Philadelphia
$l7 per ton. The prices would stop
every furnace in Pennsylvania. But
make the duty $6 specific, it would
then remain permanent, and not be
affected by the fall of prices in Eng
land.
