amount of the change is this, that the
foreigner brings his iron into our mar
ket, and the Treasury loses three-fifths
of the former duty. On such a state of
things this model of a Secretary eongra

under the tariff 0f'1842, and he must
send fifty millions of dollars to pay for
them. So the foreigner sells us fifty
millions to displace fifty millions now
made at home, without paying our Treas
ury 'one cent more revenue—foreigners
have all the benefit and Americans bear
all the loss. That is the beatitiful pol
icy of our model President and his mod
el Secretary; and a pretty pair of models
they are !—[A laugh] But, there is a
shadow over them ! Old Rough and
Ready is coming to correct all this anti-
American policy and see justice done to
the American people. Under this pre
cious doctrine of Mr. Walker we must
import six millions more of foreign iron
to get the duties we did, and leave so
ranch of our own iron under the ground.
Why must we take so much more of
British iron while England will not take
any more of our cotton
Once more : this Secretary tells us
that the uniform effect of a high tariff is
to oppress labor, and that of low tariffs is
to favor it. It will soon, lie says, become
an axiomatic truth "that ALL TARIFFS are
a TAX upon LABOR." A tax on foreign
goods a tax on our own labor ! Indeed !
I will adopt the maxim, but with an
amendment. I move to insert the word
"foreign." All tariffs are a tax on for
eign labor. So they are, when foreign
labor comes in competition with our own.
But, to encourage the latter, Mr. Wal
.lter takes the duty off of foreign labor
and puts it on our own. The reduction
inures to the benefit of the foreigner,
and the Treasury loses the revenue.
He says that low duties are always
followed bypublic prosperity ; and he
very modestly says it was the effect of
his report of 7845, which was published
for the use of Parliament, that produced
the repeal of the British corn laws. Sir,
the corn laws are not repealed ; they
never were repealed. They were tempo
rarily suspended, it is true; and in a very
few weeks they will pgnin go into ef
fect. The Secretary says it is suscep
tible of mathematical demonstration
that, in all countries, this and every !
'other, the public prosperity is advanced
by low duties. I deny it. I say the ve
ry reverse is the result of the whole ex
perience of this country, and I will pro
ceed to prove it by the secretary's own
official reports.

ARREST OF GEN SCOTT.—The arrest of
Gen. Scott, by the Government, will ex
cite very general astonishment. There
should be the most overwhelming tes
timony against the Commander of our
army, whose career front Vera Cruz to
Mexico, displays a succession of the most
brilliant victories that were ever achiev
ed, to justify, or even excuse, his Gov
ernment for putting himitunder arrest !
We will not, however, prejudge the
question, farther than to say, that in de
tailing Caleb Cushing span that Court,
it is palpable that the Administration
has dirty work in hand. There is a
base motive at the bottom of every move
ment in which Caleb Cushing is to be
employed. But the Administration, in

Huntingdon--•The Railroad,
The first survey for the Pa. Railroad,
passed through this borough in Wash
ington street, third from the Canal. It
is now rendered pretty certain that the
location will be in Allegheny street, be
ing the first street from the Canal. This
location, it must be apparent to all, will
be decidedly the best for the interests
of this town. It will bring the two great
improvements into close proximity, and
thus afford an equal opportunity to bu
siness men, for the entire extent of the
town, to secure the advantages to be de
rived from the road. And it will thus,
too, enhance the value and stimulate
the business of every portion of the
town. A large quantity of goods will
be transshipped here during the whole
season, and when, as is often the case,
the navigation of the canal between this
and Hollidaysburg is impeded by low
water, the trade of the entire west will
be transshipped ai this point. Hunting
don is therefore looking up, and bids
fair to be the most important point
on the Juniata. Will not all her citi
cent lend their aid to secure the advan
tages that are now placed within her
grasp 1

A week or two since a County Conven

SCOTT to be their first choice for the
Presidency. This fact we considered
conclusive on the subject, until we recei

THE BROAD TOP RAILROAD
We neglected to mention last week
that our Senator, Mr. KING, had intro
duced a bill into the Senate to incorpo
rate the Huntingdon and Broad Top
Railroad and Coal Company. The bill
will doubtless pass the Senate, but from
the Locofoco complexion of the House,
we are inclined to doubt whether this
bill will be allowed to go again before
the Governor at the coming session.

Approaching CrisiS,
It ap p ears from the Philadelphia Led-
ger, that a crisis in money matters is
evidently approaching with the Govern
ment. The Mexican war is causing
heavy drains,, and the banks and mer
chants are contracting to meet the con
sequences. The Sub-Treasury, at New
York, has been nearly exhausted, and
the Secretaty of the Treasury has invi
ted to Washington several cashiers
from Philadelphia and New York--for
what purpose is not stated. It is evident,
from the condition Of the Treasury, that
the Government will soon want money.
and it is true, that some capitalists and
bank-officers have suddenly gone to
Washington. A few days will probably
determine what these movements are all
about.
"Conquering a Peace."
Maj. Gaines, who returned from a
year's captivity in Mexico, a few weeks
ago, said if there was any man in Mex
ico favorable to peace with the United
States he had not seen him. Col. Jeffer
son Davis, in a speech in favor of the
Ten Regiment bill in the Senate, on the
sth instant, said, "1 hazard the asser
tion that there is more hostility against
us in Mexico now than there was at the
beginning of the war. Mexico is not
conquered." Where is the contest to
end, or when will our rulers become ac
quainted with the people they are deal
ing with 1 A peace can never be secu

THE ARMY.
The National Intelligencer says :
" We repeat what we have already said
—that it is highly expedient that Con
gress provide, if in their power, to meet
the immediate demands on the Treasury
for supporting the Army already in the
field, before they make provision for an
other ; and we may be allowed to add,
that it appears to us the height of ab
surdity to authorize a vast additional
expenditure of pnblic money before pro
viding the ways and means to defray
expenses already incurred, the creditors
for . which will soon be, if they are not
now, thundering at the doors of the
Treasury."
Q - A decision was made by the Su
preme Court of the United States, on
Thursday of last week, in the case of
Mrs. Gaines, wife of Gen. Gaines, which
gives her the right, as heir, to four
fifths of the immense estate left by her
father, David Clark, ut his death'. It is
said her share will be worth some thirty
millions of dollars. The decision so
affected her that she burst into a flood
1 1 of tears, and was borne from the Court
i room by her friends.
THE PASS AND TIIE PASSER.
Mr. Bancroft's order to Commodore
Conner to allow Santa Anna, "•to pass
freely," was, of course obeyed by that
gallant officer ; who, however, in his
despatch, August 16th, to the Secretary,
notifying the landing of the President's
protege, let fail an expression by which
it may be judged that obedience to such
an order was not particularly agreeable
to his feelings and officer-liko sense of
honor. "I could easily have boarded
the Arab," says Commodore Conner,
" but 1 deemed it most proper not to do
so, allowing it to appear as if he enter
ed without my concurrence." The Com
modore was, plainly enough, ashamed
of the duty imposed upon him, and took
the most delicate way of showing the
world, as well as of informing the Sec
retary, that he washed his hands of it.—

The President hereafter, when in re

the scenes of these bloody conflicts,
however it may be now, will take no joy
in the remembrance of our triumphs.

FROM THE ARMY,
PrmiSanae, Jan. 20.
The overland poesy express for the
"Sun," has just' arrived, bringing New
Orleans papers of the 14th, and Mobile
papers of the 15th instant,. From the
Picayune of the 14th I extract the fol
lowing highly important intelligence
from the seat of war.
There were several arrinalif . i►r the

which was the steatnshipVirginia, 4hick
brought dates from that place ►o ►he 4th

on her route.
The most important intelligence siier
brings is an indefinite, but eurreel ru
mor of the progress of secret negotia-:
t ions between Mr. Trist and the Mexi%•
can Government, which promise an ear
ly peace. Such intelligence is constant
ly afloat, but this seems to be founded
on something more tangible than any of
its predecessors. The restoration of
peace would cause ten times more re
joicing among the Americans in Mexico,
who arc suffering from home-sickness,
than it would to the natives of the soil.
Dispatches were received at Vera Cruz
in the course of the 31st ult, by a courier,
from Mr. Boyle, the British charged af
fairs at Queretaro. They were imme
diately dispatChed for NeW Orleans by
the British brig of war Daring. Not
ing positive concerning the tenor of the
dispatches was ' known, though it was
the opinion Of some at Vera Cruz that
they were offers of negotiation for - peace
being forwarded to our government
through the intercession of the British
Minister. So great was the haste in dis
patching them, that although the Vir
ginia was to sail in a few days, the Dar
ing was immediately ordered to set sail.
Colonel Dixon H. Miles, with a force
of 1,500 men, left Vera ruz on the 20
inst., for the capital. Gen. Marshall
was at Jalapa waiting the arrival of Col.
Miles there.
On the 20th ult., John Reynolds, of
company D, Bth Infantry, was hung at
Vera Cruz for murdering a Mexican wo
_men.
There was a report mentioned in 'the
Mexican papers that Gen. Santa Anna
had embarked at Acapulco for the port
of San Blas.
A letter from Queretaro states, that
the Government was doing all in its
power to get the Congress together. It
was to assemble in the middle ofbnuary.
