Indeed, if all the friends of the Union were pres ent, we would suppose that the entire population turned out, as we never heard there was an enemy of the Union in the city of "Brotherly Love."— ' Hence the necessity of the meeting was never very apparent to us. lkwever, the whole affair was well conducted. The Hon. Joni SARGENT, (a name everywhere respected,) presided, and not- ' withstanding some of the managers were of the • small potato order, who would be the first to skulk if the liubm needed defenders, many gentlemen, distinguished for their patriotism, intelligence, and high standing in society, participated in the pro seeding'. Among these we may mention the names ofJOlllBll RANDALL, Jos. R. INGERSOLL, RICEARD Breit, and JAMES PAGE. These gen tlemen all made able speeches, calculated to com mand respect and consideration. Hon. GEORGE M. DALLAS, also made a speech, and lion. JAS. BucstAxAtt wrote a long letter to the meeting.— We have but little respect for anything emanating from these gentlemen. The former, when Vice President, by his casting vote, destroyed the Pro tection of Pennsylvania industry. Aud we agree with the Deily Sun, that after that parricidal act, we take all his protestations of affection for the Union with large allowances. Divide the Union north of Mason and Dixon's line, and offer Dallas the Presidency of the Northern Republic, and there is no doubt ho would accept it. liis casting vote would never cast such a chance away. And as for Mr. Buchanan, it is well known that he is always on the aide of the South, in every contro versy between the two sections, the Presidential chair being the principal object with him. The sentiments of attachment to the Union, ex pressed at this meeting, will find &hearty response in the heart of every man of every party through otit Pennsylvania. The "Keystone of the Arch" will alWays uphold the Union of these States, and will never allow the fair fabric to be destroyed, without the stoutest resistance from her sturdy and patriotic sons. President Fillmore. President Fillmore has written a letter to a Mr. Collins, of Georgia, owner of a fugitive slave now in Baltimore. The letteracknowledges the receipt of several newspaper slips in reference to the pro ceedings in Boston, accompanied with a letter from Mr. Collins, calling the President's attention to them, showing the manner in which his agents were received and treated, while endeavoring to execute the law, and inquiring whether the Presi dent has not the power to cheek such lawless pro ceedings 1 The Presidentreplies in a calm and dispassion ate manner, and says whenever a Federal officer, charged with the execution of the law, neglects his duty, ho will he dismissed and punished, and should the law be opposed by combinations too powerful to be overcome by ordinary means, then the militia and the army and navy of the United, States will be called into requisition. He provers es a rigid investigation into the charges preferred against the Marshal, at Boston, and' urges that no thing be done to excite the popular mind, but that the laws be strictly observed by all sections of the Union, without any effort to excite opposition to them. f ir The Globe, by a gross personal assault on • private citizen, having "caught a tartar," is now making an attempt to drug us into the controversy. You can't extricate yourself in that way neighbor. If you have got yourself into a scrape, you will have to get out the best way you can- sir The Globe thinks we should coax np•tr cer tain gentlemen to aid us in our editorials. We cannot appreciate the advice, for humble as our abilities may be, we have never felt the necessity of running about the town bogging little editorial squibs iu reply to our cotempornries, and abusive of private citizens, The Daily News recommends tluit the Whigs I. the next Legislature unite on ALEXANDEII E.

CONVICTUD.-ill the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county, last week, Joseph Milliken Was convicted of setting fire to the Clark's Ferry Ilridge last summer. The convict is only 16 years of ago.

"Those who live iu glass hou ses," Death of Col• Johnson. The Telegraph announces the death of Col. Richard M. Johnson, at Frankfurt, Ky., on the 19th inst. Ile died of paralysis, having had a second and very severe attack on the 14th inst., Ile was about seventy years of age, and had been long in public life. In 1807, being then under thirty, he was elected to the U. S. House of rep reJentatives, which post he held for twelve con secutive years. In 1813 he raised a regiment of cavalry of 1000 men, at the head of which, under Geu. Harrison, he served gallantly, and at the battle of the Thames distingnished himself for his bravery, besides killing with his own hands the fa mous chief Tecumseh. In 1810 he was transfer red from the H. of Representatives to the Senate where he served until 1829. Ile was then re-elec ted to the House, and in 1837 was chosen Vice President of the United States. In 1841 he reti red to private life, but has since been three times elected to the Legislature of Kentucky, and was a representative at the time of his death. Speeches from Statesmen. Messrs. BENTON, WEBSTER, and CLAY, have re cently been making speeches in relation to public affairs. Mr. Benton made a long speech at St. Louis upon his course in politics, a few weeks ago. Ile spoke of the omnibus bill, its final separation and passage in separate bills, and the long session of Congress, which he said was occasioned by Mr. Clay's changing ground on the propriety of sepa rating these measures, &c. Ile defended General Taylor, reviewed the rise and progress of nullifica tion in Missouri, alluded to the Anti-Benton party an a mean, diabolical set, with whom neither whigs nor democrats should affiliate, and again denounced Mr. Clay with great severity. On the 18th inst., Mr. Witusern, was welcom ed to New York by a number of citizens, whom he subsequently addressed. Mr. Webster proceeded to speak of the purposes for which the Union was formed. The grand objects in creating the confed cration of States were first for the promotion of • human happiness, and second to promote the great system of trade and commerce. When our com merce is in danger, it will then become the duty of every true patriot to rally for its protection. The Union, however, is not in danger when the spirit of the people is awakened for its defence. Con- ventions North and South avail hut little. They do no harm, but on the contrary excite the people more to observe closely the events that might en- , danger safety. The object for which this govern ment was formed, is greater now than it ever has been. People need not be alarmed. We shall continue to act together so long as we cherish the interests that makes us one people. This is the great purpose that should be first in the minds of all. With this the bond of Union will grow stron ger and stronger, and be impregnable to all other powers. Mr. Webster was peculiarly eloquent and happy throughout. lle resumed his seat amid re peated cheers. The speech delivered by the lion. HENRY CLAY at Lexington, on Friday, 15th inst.,before the cit izens of that place and the members of the State Legislature, is spoken of as having been a master ly effort. He spoke of the difficulties which have threatened our Union, and strongly condemned the proceedings of the fanatics of the North and of the free States in opposing the execution of the Fugitive Slave law. Ile held that the opposition . manifested towards this great compromise measure has at present done more mischief than all that has I been done by the ultras of the South. Ile strong ly advised a submission to the law. All true pa- triots would aid iu sustaining the Constitution.— Those who raised their hands against the execution and requirements of this act were enemies not only to their own future welfare, but to the peace and happiness of the country. Mr. Clay descanted at , length, .upon the great measures of the country, and reiterated many of the sentiments he uttered ' 1 in the Senate during the last session of Congress. fie held then as he held now, that Slavery could not and cannot exist in California, no matter what might be the enactments of the General Govern ment. Ito spoke of the Union in the most elo quent strains of patriotism, and called upon all the hoary-headed and the rising generations to hold it nearest their hearts. Dinner to Hon. John M. Clayton. The complimentary dinner given by his politi , cal friends in Delaware to the Hon. Jno. M. Clay ton, Secretary of State under Gon. Taylor, took place on Saturday 16th inst., at Willmington.— The North American has a lengthy and glowing report of the proceedings with a full report of Mr. I Clayton's.spsech, which was the great feature of the occasion:. Mr.. Clayton enteren into a full and thorough vindication Otte administration of Gen. Taylor, closing with a most clogoent and effecting tribune to the pure and lofty character of the il lustrious patriot. The policy of Gee. Taylor with respect to the new territories, which was claimed to be indentieta with that of Mr, Polk which had received the sanction of the South and which would have avoided all agitation and discord, was ably defended by Mr. Clayton. The administra tion of President Fillmore he also warmly eulogi zed and commended to the continued and cordial support of the Whig party of the coonrry. The payment of the Galphin claim was also alluded to, which Mr. Clayton declared never would have passed had any member of the Cabinet known that ' Mr. Crawford was interested in it. The other features oe Gen. Taylor's administration were sev erally dwelt upon and explained with candor and frankness. The speech of Mr. Clayton was recol: ved with the warmest applause. Its exposition of the policy, purposes, and acts of the late adminis tration, was most able wad satisfactory, and the country will hail it as a triumphant vindication.— After the speech , letters were read from Daniel Webser and other distinguished Whigs regretting their inhability to attend, to whom complimentary toasts wore given. Morton McMichael, Esq., nus called for, and made a speech, in which he made the company promise, for Delaware, never to be 'licked' again. He said that with WINFIELD Score l for President in 1852, the Whigs of Doleware, and the Union would bo triumphant. Ho culled on Mr. Clayton to say something on the life of l General Scott. Mr. Clayton responded in a glow ing eulogy on Gen. Scott's career from Queostown to the city of Mexico, particularly noticing the bold stand taken in defence of the Irish soldiers taken from the American Army in 1812, Scott's name seas received with loud cheers. LOCOF6COISM THE Since it has been a, elected their State tiel they can only show a on the Congressional • find it expedient to cu cratio Iron-masters." their papers copying an Poet—a rapid Locofoco heart of the Iron and Cr out terms ofcompromi. ginning by taking upon the responsibilities of gress, it proceeds to h it declares to be "as a .. very . at which has been in existence a ntiatter of a century; beck ;" but it "does not pretend to say that Riney not need some modification." The Post then rushes into a' con amore tirade of abuse of the Whigs by way of providing a cover for the summer-sault it is about to tuft and then proceeds to offer terms to the "Ironmasters," after abusing them for their error, ignorance and insanity in "lending their business as a stalking horse for the Whig Party." It next offers its bargain in the following terms The only complaint now or very' recently heard from this State against the Tariff of '46, is confined to the duties on won ant? coal. Its opponents have ceased to assert tluit the country would be ruined because ABUOT LAWRENCE and the other cotton lords of New England are not allowed to tax the people 180 per cent, on muslins by means of the "cheating mimimnms ;" neither do they now de 'fend the absurdity of taxing silk goods by weight; and they scam willing to abandon ntsey of the oth er impostures which flourished smiler the Act of 1842. It is fur a higher duty on iron and coal, and for that alone, that they now contend. They have forgotten all of their song except the chorus ! Now, if they are willing to compromise on such terms, so are we. If the iron and coal business can be taken out tyrpolaies by giving a moderate specific duty on those articles, let it he done. We do not wish to have the country kept in a state of continual agitation for such a trifle." Now, the first question is, can Pennsylvania La eofoeoista do the thing that it promises to the Irons masters? Will the Congress of the United States single out and separate the Iron and Coal ofrenn sylvanitt from all the other industrial interests of the country, and protect the former with a specific- duty while it leaves the latter exposed to the un just operation of the all roiorew system which pre vails under the Tariff of 18461 Is the Locofoco ism of other States prepared thus to overlook and neglect every other interest in order by this bribe to secure the electoral vote of Pennsylvania for its Presidential Candidate in 1852? On what prin ciple can such legislation be defended? The Whigs, abused as they have been, never wanted to sustain and protect the Iron business and leave all others to suffer. They were and are in favor of a national policy which will extend just and fair protection to all branches of industry and as en courage and promote the development of our natu ral resources, and give employment to our people at the American rate of wages. But what is it that Locofocoism now proposes to do To bestow exclusive rights, benefits and privileges upon those engaged in the Iron and Coal business, provided they wiil desert every other branch of industry— abandon the great principle of protection, which can only be sustained in reason and by argumeth, when it is advocated for the common benefit ofla bor in all its departtnents, and vote the Locofoco ticket so as to make Pennsylvania sure for that party, and the spoils safe for its greedy leaders.— Such is the bold and bare-faced proposition now made, in which the Locofocos, to secure party as cendency, eat their words, and promise to do the very thing which ever since they mustered courage to vindicate the Tariff of 1846 they have asserted to be wrong in principle, and especially unjust to the agricultural portion of the community. Now what do the farmers think of this new turn in the course of their professed fliends par excellence, who have told them that the Iron-masters wereenrses to the community," and wanted to levy an oppres sive tax for their own profit on every axe, hatchet or plough-iron that the farmer used? Now, they see these same Locofocos offering to sell the far mer-friends whom they professed to love so dearly to those very"aristocratic Iron-masters," to whom they offer a specific duty, as a special privilege which nobody else is to enjoy, in order to keep out the competition of the British Iron-master, and enable them to sell their Iron to the farmers at just whatsoever price they think proper to charge. If this sounds like nonsense, we beg that it may be remembered that it was the language used by Lo cofocoism before the election, when its cue was to stir up jealousy in the farmers' minds against tho Iron-masters. To use their own favorite fornt of expression, the Locofocos stow propose to erect the Iron interest into a great monopoly, and to "lay enormous taxes on the pour for the benefit of the rich." The Post, in the course of its article, further ex ' gases the hypocricy of its party on the Tariff noes ' tioa, and the base motives which actuate it in its course. of legislation. Read the following t— " The democratic party of the Union were al ways willing to give to the iron and coal interests whatever would satisfy them. They were struck at reluctantly in 1846, and only boenutie it became necessary by the foolish position which Pennsyl vania was made to assume. We will not surren der a principle ; but the difference between a spe cific and ad valorem duty on an article whose in trinsic value is always the same, does not seem to us to involve a principle." So then Locofocoism "was always willing to give the Iron and Coal interests whatever would satisfy them." What think the farmers ofthat? lies not that party told them for four years past just the contrary? Iles it not denounced the Iron masters as arisVocrats, and the enemies and oppres sors of the farmers ?' Yet all the tune it was will ing to give them "whatever would satisfy them?"

Why 7 Because "Pennsylvania Was made to assume a foolish position !" What posi tion/ just and egnal'prOteetion to all branches of industry. To punish her for that, and for adhe ring to the Whig doctrine on that subject, these interests were "struck at." Now says the Post, turn Loeofoco, and these interest shall bo protect ed. True, it "will not surrender a principle;" yet it does so in the very . same sentence, for it gives up the nd rolorvo principle of laying the du ty on Coal and Iron as enacted in the Tariff of 1840 and is willing to accede a speeige duty. This "does not seen❑ to it to Involve a principle;" but it is the min, if not the only principle in contro versy on the Tariff Question between the Whigs and Locofocos. Mto Iron and Coal being always of the same intrinsic value, they are just as much, and no more so than Hats, Coats, Boots, a. hun dred other articles, and the latter are as well enti tled to a specific duty as the former, and there is as much principle involved in protecting the one as the other, and no more.—York I?.publican. itir The. Globe editor declines giving any proof for his assertion that we concussed with Mr. Speer previous to the late election, on the ground that his fears it would injure us! and because he has no desire to "drive us to the wall !"

The only return we can make for it, is to offer our sincere regrets to , the Globe editor and his little clique, that they were's° , unfortunate as to be driven clear through the wall at the late election. griz'The Globe speaks of ue as one of the edit ors of the Journal.

Rallesate Sale. Agreeably to the provisions of the act to con struct a Railroad to avoid the Inclined Plane, near Philadelphia, the Board of Canal Commissioners, on Saturday last a week, proceeded to sell the Philadelphia and Columbia ntilroad; lying between Broad street and the plane, including the Schuyl kill viaduct, the collector's office and the engine depot at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Schuylkill Sixth et. The sale was affected, and Jonv TUCKER, Esq. President of the Watling Railroad Comp. purchased It for the sum of $243,- 200—the payments to be without interest, from the date of the delivery of the road as follows: $25,- 000 cash at the time of the sale and delivery of the road; $50,000 on the Ist of April, 1851, and $lO,OOO moodily, thereafter, until the entire debt is liquidated.

Great rejoiceings have been indulged I,y the Locofoco press over the fact that the Pennsylvania delegation in the next Congress will stand 15 Le cofoeos to 9 Whigs. The Whigs have two or three more than it was intended they should have when the present apportionment was made by the gerry mandering legislature of 1843. But even now, we come within. a trifle of polling as many votes ,as our opponents. Their majority on the Congress ional vote is only 6,132 according to their own showing, in which they include the vote given for all three of their candidates in one district where they run that many. NOw, does any hottest Man believe that a fair apportionment would give one party 15 memoers to 9 for the other, with an ag gregate majority of only 6,132 in the State? A fair apportionment would of course give each par ty a number of members corresponding to it; pop ular vote and in such ease the , Whigs would he entitled to least t 1 or 12 members. In fact, • when ,we consider the iinpossibility of districting the State without giving one or two Locofoco dis tricts very large majorities, it is readily seen that , no apportionment approaching honesty could de price the Whigs of at least 12 mentbers.—Bucks Co. had.

The NeW York Courier speaking °Penny Lihies. concert, thus alludes to what must undoubtedly be her best song: "The notable performance of this evening was the Mountaineer's Song, which is one of the ballads whiCh arc so popular a por tion of her repertoire. It is by far the bes. of those which she has given us. It hits instrinsie beauty, in addition to its capacity to display her marvel lous powers of voice, and were it well sung by an ordinary mortal, could net fail to give pleasure to all hearers. But from her lips it is a miracle of beauty and execution. Its great point is a cadence of three notes, which she prolongs, sustains and diminishes with such marvelous sweetness and delicacy, that the breath of•the hearer is held and his ear strained to almost painful pleasure until the phrase is concluded. Her voice dies away until it seems, fit its aunt sweetness, the far offsighing of an autumn breeze'; and when the spell-bound audience have • listened a moment to be sure that the delightful suspense is over, there is a general movement throughout the house as each individual recovers at once self oonscionsness mid breath. Her wonderful 'truth of intonation is displayed in this performance even more than in the Herdsman's Song. The' two first notes are sustained, unaccompanied for a length of time almost incredible, and. the last de scends by a semitone' to a chord out of the key, but intonation is as perfect and as firm as if she were singing' in simple'thirds with accompa niment and in full vhice." The Sandwich Islands. The continued! depopulation of the Sandwich Islands is a singular fact in the histbry 01-man kind. We con see how an inferior nation JIM): become extinguished in the presence of one supe rior in the arts of civilization. We can perceive how interminable the petty wars among savages may diminish their population. But the condition of the Fluid wieh Islands presents none of these circumstances. They are .civiliied themselves; the teaching of the missionaries dhstroyed the ravages of war, and even those of iiitettmeranee; and yet in this peaceable and comparatively virtu ous community, there is, erery year, a gradual' de crease of inhabitants. Capt. Cook estimared their number at 400,000. Mt, fifty years later, at 150,000. The official census, the present year, gives 84,105. During the post year, the deaths were 4320; the births, 1422. At this rate the race will become extinct before the next cen tury opens. What there is in the physical condi tion or constitution of. these Islanders that presents •h a disproportionate excess of deaths over IM:hs is worthy the attention of physiologists. luntots.—The'retums of the lute Illinois elec tion for members of the Legislature show a large gain in the lower House.
