British Interference.
Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Minister at
Washington, probably encouraged by the deep
solicitude of the late Free Trade Administra
tion, for the interests of her Majesty's subjects,
and the submission by Secretary Walker of his
Free Trade report to the British Government
for their approval, before communicating it to
Congress, has addressed several letters to Sec
retary CLAYTON on the foreign and domestic
policy of our government, among which is the
following
Selma LEGATION, WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 1850.
Ste It having been represented to her Ma
jesty's government, that there is sortie idea on
the part of the government of the United States
to increase the duties upon British iron import
ed into the United States, I have been instruct
ed by her Majesty's roverrmcht to ex
press to the United States government the
hope that no addition will be made to the duties
imposed by the present tariff of the United
States,
which already w,i;h heavily upon Brit
ish prdeuction, and I cannot but observe, for
my own part, that an augmentation of the du
ties on British produrets, dr manufactures, made
at a moment when the British Government has,
by a series of measures, been facilitating the
commerce between the two countries, would
produce a very disagreeable effect upon public
opinion in Ergland.
I avail myself, &c. HENRY L. I3CLWER.
What right, every trite American will ask,
has the British Minister to meddle with our do
mestic legislation 1 BM. it cannot be wondered
at, when we find the leading locofoco papers
espying and commending letters of British mer
chants addressed to our Secretaty of the Trea
sury, on the same subject-4nd when We find a
powerful party in this country adVocating tree
trade on the ground of conferring benefits upon
England. What a state of degradation we have
come to, when officers Of foreign governments
may presume to interfere in our domestic cos ,
terns ! They should be taught better manners,
at least. Pennsylvania will repudiate their in
termeddling and 7oluntary advice ; and demand
that our interests shall have precedence of those
of Victoria's subjects, in American legislation.
The Legislature.
Not more than four weeks, (says the Pa. In‘
t. ll igertrt'r) Yet remain, and not one of the im
portant bills of the session has passed the Le
gislature. The whole of the time has been oc
cupied in the consideration of private bills,
whilst the important measures—those which
deeply affect the interests of the people of the
State, and which therefore ought to re.rei , a a
very careful consideration—are postponed uotil
the closing hours of the Session, when they wili
be disposed of amid the hurry and confusion at
tendant upon an adjournment. This is wrong,
and we hope the present legislature will, as far
as practicable rectify the evil. Let them com
. mence aow ; let them consider carefully the
public bills of the session and let such measures
be adopted us the people need, and in such a
shape that they will not require the supervision
•f succeeding Lagialatures.—Several important
bills—which are tact before our Legislature en
airy year—claim attention this year, and fur the
reason that it may be difficult to frame bills
which will do justice to the State and give gen
eral eatisfaction, the attentionof our Legislature
sti^rld he gi•'en to them •Iccdily,

Locofoeo ItypoettSy.
Two'-thirds of the LoCofoco party, says the
Juniata Sentinel, honestly believe that by sup
porting the self styled Democracy of the coun
try, they go squarely against all legislation in
tended to benefit the monopolists to the injury
of the creator. Such has been the plea of the
opposition since we can remember, it, their pro_
fessione before the people. And the Whigs have
have bent eonttantly held up as the especial
friends of the monopolist, the nabob, &c. By
such false appeals to the prejudices of the peo
ple, Locofoism has rode into power tithe and
again ; but how have their profesasions been re
garded 1 Not three weeks ago the Legislature
passed a supplement to the bill incorporating
the Reading Railroad Company, by which the
proper ty of that company is exempted from levy
and execution for debt for twenty years ! The
supplement was advocated in the Senate by Mr.
Muhlenberg, and other prominent locofocos, in
the House by Messrs. Porter, Church, Conyng

An ingenious Fraud.
A number of the banking institutions
of Philadelphia. • says the Harrisburg
Union, have offered through their cash
iers, a reward of five hundred dollars
for the detection and prosecution to con
victimn of the perpetrator of an adroit
and successful fraud. It appears that
some time bcek, some person or parsons
have been in the habit of cutting or tear
ing a small portion from several notes
and joining the pieces thus obtained, by
some adhesiVe matter, so as to make an
other note, and then by passing as well
the mutilated notes as the note formed
by the process upon the unweary public,
succeeded in cheating to a considerable
amount by means of this nefarious prac
tice.
Letter from Harrisburg.
Correspondence of the Huntingdon Journal.
Ranaissuao, March 15, 1850.
DEAR Cr.sati t—lE have but little to say this
week • nothing Of any importance has been up.
The House have been moving slowly with the
apportionment bill, but no amendments are al
lowed. The majority are determined to posh
.the monster through if they can ; and to the
Senate all eyes are turned for something like
right and fairness.
'The Investigating Committee are still at
work a little. Mr. Beaumont, the chairman,
the getter up of the Whole thing—has finally
resigned his place on the committee, and Scho
field fills it. On Monday Thomas Power, Esq.,
was examined, and . to the sad discomfiture of ,
the Loco., ; he gave them some hot shat ; pro
ving that all his troubles and detentions in get
ting his &oby originiited and was blameable
upon the Canal Board, and the Auditor Oeneral.;
that Mr. Pall had always been anxious and wil

that Mr. Ball had been more plenctuaf in his
payments tO him than Ball's philecessor, Mr.
Plummer . . Power's testimony Kasa sickener.
If they call a few more of the sarfie kind, they
*ill be ready to cry quits with Ball before he
balls a witness. English was the next witness:
lie is Norris' chum or Norris is his Pet.i, n d ii
was expected thnt he would a'o something for
the party that would keep them out of the troub
le.—But even English ; no matter how willing,
did not know how to swear Ball into a tight
place."
I suppose you saw the Report alba Commit

its partial repeal. 13eing absent from the House
when it was read, I cannot speak of its contents
or principles, tar I really have not had time to

be submitted tti the people this fall, and it may
as well be at once known and understood, that
the people may begin to consider the matter ;
that is, if their minds are not already made up
on the subject. lam clear that the opposition
among the people will be about in the ratio of
the vote in the Senate. For really there seems
to be nobody willing to oppose it. Who cares t
There is one thing certain, the Whig party can
loose nothing by it. They can elect certainly
in many counties and districts, even it they fail
in the State generally, which is by no means
certain ; for take from the Locofoco party the
patronage, and their patriotic zeal is strangely
cooled. There's is a pocket edition of Patriot
ism, which they put on the shelf when there
are not weighty reasons for their , party fealty.

ampton was also sent in at the same time, but
not yet confirmed.
On yesterday, a supplement to the attachment
laws was under discussion in the Senate, auth
orizing the attachment of the eateries of Clerks
&c., due or coming due, for all over the sum of
$lO per week. Such an act, properly prepared
and guarded, ought to pass; for there is no jus
tice in giving a clerk the enjoyment of a eatery
of $lOOO per anum, while the journeyman me
chanic is nct prototeted in the little pittance
which he knocks from the hammer and anvil at
the rate of $6 or $8 per week. If, however,
the bill is not prepared with much care, it will
cause much litigation, to no good.
The Forrest divorce bill was yesterday re

faces, who I think are expecting every dap, that
they Will be in favor of this case. They go in

Mr. Cooper and the British Minister.
The following is the speech of Hon. JAs.
COOPER, Senator from this Stute, in reply to
Sir Henry Bulwer's letter on the subject of our
Tariff policy. The rertiarics hi Mr. C. will be
warmly applauded ih Pennsylimilia, by men of
all partieS; who faVor American in preference
to British interests. Mr. Cooper said
" Now, sir, in order that I may say
nothing but what 1 design to say, I will
use very full notes in relation to that
part of my remarks which refer to the
conduct and course pursued by the Brit
ish minister. I will repeat what I have
already stated, that I had left the Senate
yesterday before the correspondence be
tween the Secretary of State and the
British minister had been disposed of,
and without being aware of the extent'
to which the latter had felt himself war
ranted in making suggestions relative to
what our domestic legislative policy
should be. As far as the policy of one
independent nation towards another is
within the control of the Executive, and
subject to regulation by treatsr, so far
is it legitimately the object of sugges
twit attd discussion by the diplomatic
representatives of either: By this I do
not intend to say, that the representative
of one nation may not make known to
the government of another, that its pol
icy in particular cases, in which it comes
in conflict with the interests of that
which he represents, might be modified
in such a way as to be mutually benefi
cial. But I do say, that a diplomatic
representative fails in all the ditties of
etiquette and courtesy towards the gov
ernment to which he is accredited, when
he undertakes to inform it that any con
templated legislation action on its part
"will produce a very disagreeable effect
on" the government "or public opinion"'
of his country. To do so, sir, is obtru
sive, impertinent, and deserving of re
bake. We are competent to manage our
own domestic policy, without hints or
suggestions from the agents of other
governments, however powerful, howev
er wise in the management of their own.
It Is our duty to regulate our owi, policy
for the benefit of our own people—the
whole of our own people—without ref
erence to the state al British "public'
opinion," or French public opinion, or
public opinion elsewhere.
I doubt not, Mr. President, that grit
ish public opinion is gratified by a policy
which feeds her people though it should
starve ours; but it is impertinent on the
part of the British minister to tell us
so. 1 know-that there is a difference of
opinion at home, on the subject of the
policy referred to; but it is a difference
which we can settle at home amongst
ourselves, and all the better and sooner
without obtrusive, unsought advice from
abroad. Our southern brethren do not
all of them agree with us on the subject
of this policy ; but they tvill agree with.
me that it is a domestic concern, and to
be settled at home by our own Congress
in such a manner as shall best comport
with the interests of all. When Eng
land, through her statesmen, in a man
ner far ldss offensive, inasmuch as it was
said of us and not to us, has denounced
the institution of slavery as a stain upon
our national escutcheon which ought to
exclude us from the community of civ
ilized nations ; northern men as well as
southern men hate etpressed their in
dignant disgust at the cant of those who
denounce us for the tolerance of that
which was inflicted on us in the begin ,
ning by British cupidity: I ant opposed
to slavery—deeply, tonsettntiously i tind
forever opposed; but ; sir, entertaining
an opinion hostile to slavery, I shall net ,
er act so as to give cause of offence to
the citizens of flue States in which the
institution exists, in which it ts protec ,
ted by the Constitution ; and while I am
opposed and conscientiously opposed to
slavery, I wish to hear no English denuri
ciations of my country ; nor any part of
it, on this account or any other. And
what would our southern brethren say
if this same Sir Henry.,Lytton Bulwer
should conceive it to bo his duty to tell
us what the public opinion of England
is relative to the institution of slatery 7
I leave it to them to answer. •
This same ambassador scents to hate
a peculiarpenchant for offering his ad
vice to the Governments to which he
happens to be accredited- But a little
more than two years since; when Min
ister to Spain, he volunteered to tell the
Queen what England thought her policy
ought to be in relation to the domestic
management of the internal affairs of
Spain. The correspondence which took
place between the Duke of Sotomayfir
the Prime Minister, so to speak, of Spain,
and Lord Palmerston, on the subject, is
fresh in the memory of all. One would
have thought that he might have profited
by the lesson which was taught him
then; but it seems he regards England
as far in advance of all other nations,
in power and wisdom that they will be
obliged for such hints and sugge.tions
as may emanate from her ambassadors,
wherever they may chance to reside.
Now for my own part, I do not thank
him for the suggestion in relation to our
domestic policy, and the administration
will not thank him I trust. But a little
while since, it will be recollected that,
in a case not entirely dissimilar, when
the ambassador of France, and to
whom we owe far more than we owe to
England of frendship and of courtesy,
undertook to tell the natioal Executive
of this county what was due to its
honor, and what was due to justice on
his part, his passports were furnished
to him by the President of the United
States, and he has left our shores for
his home, there to account for hls In
terference, not With a matter of dollies
tic policy, but for Volunteering advice
as to what was compatible with Itopor
and justice bn the part of the country
to Whirl' he was accredited.—ln that
case the Executive did right, and 1 have
no doubt that Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer
has already been informed by the Pres
ident of the United States that his advice
is unsought for, in language equivalent
to that which he used to Monsieur de
Toequetille the ['flute Minister or Min
ister of Foreign Affairs of France.
Sir, I am willing to trust the honor of
this Government ; to him in whose hands
the people have placed it. He will do all
that is necessary for its vindication ;
but I thought that it was but right that
this department of the Government, the
Legislative department of the Govern.
ment, equally concerned in all that re ,
hates to the honor of the country, might
speak its sentiment in reference to this
Matter ; and if the huinblest member of
this body felt called uptin i by the relation
which he bears to the particular subject
to which reference is made, to speak, the
rebuke will be all the more severe. It
Was in order to submit these remarks
that I made the motion to refer the sub.
ject embraced in the President's message
and correspondence to the Committee on
Commerce, and if there be not a reply
intended, I will now withdraw

California News.
The Disturbance at the Mines—
Americans Murdered.
The Jilta California, of the 14th Jan
uary, contains a letter front Stockton,
dated Dec. 21, giving a detailed account
of the attack of the Chilians on the
Atherican miners near the Caltiveras
river.
ft appears that a number of Ameri
cans had, at the commencement of the
rainy season,_ selected a certain place
near the Calaveras river, where they
erected leg cabins and made pteparations
to winter. This was a place in which
"dry blowing" for gold was carried on
last summer, by Chilians and other for
eigners. Soon after the Americans set
tled, a number of Chilians arrived, and
went to work in the neighborhood, and
shortly afterwards a public meeting was
held by the Americans, and a Judge and
Military Captain were elected. Notice
was then given to all who were not
American citizens to leave within fifteen
days. A body of Chilians still remain
ed at their old place, about eight miles
from the 'lowa Log Cabins,' (the Ameri
can Camp,) and abused and drove off
three or four Americans, who attempted
to dig in the neighborhood. At the ex•
piration of the time specified for the
Chilians to leat , e ' they were brought be
fore the Judge, (Collter,) and fined one
ounce each,and notified to leave by the
25th instant.
At this time but few of tile& femained
and those apparently were tiiitlcifig prep
arations to move. 'On the night of the
27th instant, at about 8 o'clock, a descent
was made upon the "lowa Log Cabins,"
by about eighty armed Chi Hans, aho
went from cabin to cabin, seizing the
inmates, most of whom were in bed, and
binding them with ropes, using the most
abusive language, and threatening to
shoot them if they resisted or made the
least noise. It should be remarked, that
none of the Chiliens spoke in English,
nor did they show any authority for the
arrest of the Americans. Having bound
the inmates of the lowa Log Cabins, and
tied some of them to trees, they left
them under guard, and proceeded to
some other cabins and tents in the neigh
borhood. In one of the cabins there
was it light s and five or six persons play
ing cards, This cabin they charged
upon, broke open the door, attacked the
inmates with pistols, guns and knives,
killing two Americans, one of their own
party,. and wounding four others.
The two men who were killed were
aged, one of them leaving a wife and ten
children in the States, end the other a
wife and five children. 1 have been un
able to ascertain their names in full.--
One of them is called Starr originally
from New York, but lately from Texas.
The Chitians Jinn bound with ropes all
Americans in this camp, even those who
Were wounded, and hurried them
sothe without blentiets or even &nits—
and joining the others, whom they had
previously taken, marched the whole,
sixteen in number a distance of eight
miles on the road tottards Stanislav, to
the tent of fin Alcalde named Sctitlion,
who they said ? would accompany them
to Stockton. The Alende refused to see
them, or to have tiny thing to do with
them ; and after a delay of about nn
hour, they marched back to their own
camp, a distance of fifteen miles. In
passing an American tent, they threat
ened to shoot the first man who uttered
a word. At about 7or 8 o'clock next
morning they arrived at the six mile
tent, ten miles this side of the Double
Springs; they then marched twelve miles
farther towards Stockton.
On reaching the vicinity of Stockton,
the Chi/inns became frightend, and
agreed to unbind their prisoners, provi
ded they would intercede for them if any
Americans shOulclettack them on enter
ing the City. They•had not proceeded
much farther before they tipproched a
tent of Americans, WhO Were soon in
arms and made prisoners of the Chil.
tans, whom they marched into Stockton.
It mg then ascertained that the Judge
end Aleade had issued a writ for the
arrest of certain Americans, who had
warned the Chilians off from the mines
and robbed or extracted money from
them, and not being able to get Ameri
cans to serve the writ, had employed
this band of Chiliand to execute it.
They were taken back for trial, but their
countrymen here were reported to be
collecting in large bodies and endeavor.
ing to induce the Indians to join them
in a War tigrtinst the Americans, and the
latter had determined to drive the farmer
oat of the country.
