r 4 1, t, -- \. I • A VOICE FROM CLARION. We commend to the attention of honest dem ocrats in Huntingdon County, who were decei ved by the hypocritical leaders of locofocoisni respecting the protective policy, the following card from leading democrats of Clarion county, which we find in the last Clarion Register: TO THE PUBLIC We, the undersigned, being heretofore sup porters of the "Democratic party," and now refusing to support the nominees of the Balti more Convention, hereby venture to give a few I . of our reasons for so doing. We are the consistent supporters of the Pro tective policy, and have battled for that •policy before the Tariflof '42 was passed—which Tar iff we have looked upon as the best that has ever been adopted by the American Government. We found both political parties taking an active course in the consumation of that object. We found the Democratic Legislature of Pennsylva nia, at two successive sessions, instructing our members in Congress and in the IT. S. Senate to go against any alteration in said Tariff, and in favor of the protective policy; and in '4l we found nearly all the Democratic papers of the North, (et least of Pennsylvania,) supporting the Tariff of 'l2. We had it on all our ban ners, and we had the assurances of those who ought to know the sentiments of our then con stitutes for President and Vice President, that si,,y were in favor of the Protective policy. In fact there was but one isoint in dispute, and that who was the best friend of she Tariff of Both parties claimed thehonor. We then of course, concluded it was the doctrine of the party; awl Mr. Polk's Inaugural Address slmw- Cd us as we thought, that the Protective policy would not be disturbed. But the course of the Administration in a short time proved to us that a ditihrent course was about to be taken. Mr. in his Messages thereafter, showed his . hostility to all protection, and told us that the industry of this country did not need Protection led what Protectionthere was inhis Free Trade I . :iviff of '46, wal not intendedfor that purpose, • .rola tine South would be content. Then - • !•onnil the Democratic papers of Pennsylva change their course on the Tariff question and .-ep. lig over to the Free Trade Tariff of '4f—in going the full length fur the Free Trade diey. And to cap the• climax, the Baltimore , :onvention, where the principles of the party should be known, and where they were known. passed resolutions in favor of Free Trade, and Gin. Cass, as the candidate of the party, endor ses these resolutions, and tells us if elected he willearry them out to the best of his abilities. Now, to turn Mend support any man for Presi dent, when both himself and the party that nomi nate" him are pledged to oppose what weeonsider to be our interest, as well as the interest of others, would be contrary to our convictions of duty as good citizens; neither do we consider we act inconsistent by supporting the measures in '4B that we were all for in '4l. However, we will leave that to the public to judge, and as we see numbers around us who atund in the same situation, we have no doubt of the result of their diseission. If the doctrine of Free Trade in its broadest principles, as now pro mulgated by the Democratic party, :should suc ceed, and Mr. Cass lie elected, it then heroines the settled policy of the country, and there can he no appeal, at least for tour years to corn, If Mr. Cass is now elected on these principles, we look upon it as all end to the Protective pol icy, to which we cannot consent at this time. 11 e look upon it in this way that what was Democratic doctrine in 'd•l should be the same in '4B—and therefore, we will support the nom inees of the Philadelphia Convention, hollering that the men and the party who composed that Convention are the most favorable to the Pro ' t active policy t we think they have'shown them selves so in the last three years at least. We therefore intend to give our support to the nominees of that Convention. We view the matter now as a party question, supported no where or by no party but by the Whig party onhy• Christian Myers, Samuel Duff, Patrick Kerr, 1). B. Sallade, George W. Arnold, John B.

A difference of opinion 1 under such circumstances, might have been expected. But they who knew the power of the Light Artillery, and had seen it play that day, had confidence that it could clear a way for the army back to Fort Brown. " Old Zack," for that is the name we call him, replied af ter the consultation broke tip, we will advance in fifteen minutes— arid forward they marched to Resaca de la Palma, the result of which you all know. Old Zack kept his word to Major B rawn,--- but alas, the brave and lamented Major had received his death wound So at Buena Vista the personal char acter of Gen. Taylor had a like influ ence on the army. When the War de partment deemed it necessary, in order to form a column to invade Mexico via Vera Cruz, to take his Regulars from him, he was sure that Santa Anna would attack him. "I sin the weak point," he often said, "and 1 know he sill attack me. But he determined to defend his position, and in order the best way to defend it, to advance.—Gen. Taylor kept well informed of the approach of the enemy by Gen. Wool's scouts, mov ed on to Saltil , o, then to Agua Nueva. It was proposed at one time to meet the enemy in advance of Agua Nueva, but ascertaing by his engineers that their, position could be turned, lie resolved to fall hack to Buena Vista, as the enemy approached him. Buena Vista is a mil- itary position that any soldier's eye' would select for a defence. To no par ticular person is the credit of its selec tion due—for it has been said, that even a woman picked it out as a place to re pulse an enemy. Various officers have had the credit of the selection, but what ever particular credit is due, is certain ly due to the Commander-in-chief, who fought the battle. The Mexicans themselves had fought a battle there. Santa Anna knew the ground so well, that he ordered his Gen eral (Minon) to take and keep possession of it, in order to attack our rear. Gen. Minon got in our rear as ordered; but when he reached Buena Vista, he found us in possession of it. The 22d of February 4,500 men mostly raw troops opposed to 20,000 of the enemy, was certainly not a very encouraging day. We did not feel quite so happy or so well, as over this bountiful table to-night. We thought of home, and of families The Tat'ilf of %16 in Carbon County, and the Coal Region Generally. We learn from the Maunch Chunk Cazette that the beautiful effects of the glorious Free Trade Tariff of 1846 are begining to be felt in Carbon county. On Monday of last week, it says the shipments of coal were curtailed one third, and about two hundred and fifty Miners and Laborers will be discharged from the works at Summit Hill within a few days. It is probable that it will be found necessary to discharge a still greater number before the close of the !season. Here then, almost at the begining of winter, are three hundred hard working industrious men, thrown out of employ ment, left houseless and almost penny less for the benefit of foreign capital ists. It will be in vain that many of them will seek in other places for work. Will they go th the Schuylkill Region' There is no work for them there ; many of the colliers have stopped, others are doing a very limited business and hundreds of hands arc out of employment in that re gion. Will they go to the Wyoming regionl Every extensive coal operation there has stopped, Will they go upon the Public Im praVements 1 Where arc they that have not already more hands than they require. Where then are those men to find em ployment 1 God only knows. We know not. We cannot but believe, remarks the Oratette, that poverty and suffering are to harrass many of them through the coming winter. Why is this ? Let thoee who opposed Henry Clay and the Protective Tariff, and what eel. , ously supported Polk and Dallas, an swer.
