THE TARIFF, OREGON, &c As the period aptroachcs for the meet ing of Congress, the rumors from Washing ton increase in number nnd in interest.— The President and his Cabinet are no doubt • eonferring together in relation to the Annu al Message, while the. Washington letter writers are exerting themselves to the ut most to determine the character of the top ics likely to be introduced, and especially the nature of the suggestions with refer ence to Oregon and the Tariff. Some of these gentlemen, in the absence Of positive information; do not hesitate to call in the aid of limey, and thus we have speculations in abundanee—sotne of them moderate and plausible, and others wild and extrava gant. Enough is known, liftwever, to au thorize the hilief that Mr. Polk, despite his letter to Mr. Kane, and despite the Banners which were borne by his par ty in this State during the election, will take ground against, the great measure al 18 12. It also appears to be pretty well un derstood, that strong language will be em- I ployed with reference to the American claim to Oregon. Some of the letter-wri ters affirm that the President will repeat the, language contained in his Inaugural.— A correspondent of the Charleston Couri er says, in allusion to this vexed and itn-; portant matter, that the bill which passed I the House at the last session and failed in I the Senate, would have brought the ques tion to a crisis. "That bill not only ex-1 tended our jurisdiction over Oregon, but asserted our exclusive jurisdiction, aveont-; panied by military occupation. That bill I was paramount to a declaration of war ! If Great Britain could stand that and keep quiet, the frobability is that she would suf . - fer_us to take Canada and Cuba. But that identical bill, I assure you, will pass Con gress at the coining session, and early in the session. The- moment it passes we had better commence a preparation for de fensive war." This is startling intelli gence, if true. But we must he permitted to doubt its authenticity. The members I of Congress have yet to meet at Washing ton, and webelieve that a conservative spir- ; it Will be found in both llouses„sufficient-; ly strong to withhold any, rash measures. Phil.

THE OREGON NEGOTIATION CITI, Oct. 22d 1 s.l') I inn informed that Mr. Pakenham has made a propoSition to Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of State, that the difference be tween the' United States and Crtiat Britain on the subject of the Oregon Territory, should be referred to some third power for the purpose of being settled by arbitration. To this proposition Mr- Buchanan is wil ling to 'accede to it, and he has advised President Polk to recommend the adoption of this course in his 'message to Congress, on 'that body's assembling. This PleSi, dent Polk has declined to do, on the ground that 'the Western-Democracy will not be satisfied with such a course. The matter accordingly is no further advanced than it was at the inauuration, though possibly Mr. Buchanan may be able to induce the President to adopt suck a' course before Congress meets. We shall see. It will be remembered that John C. Calhoun when Secretary of State, is said to have declined any arbitration whatever on this subjeet. These !bets may be relied upon. [Correspondence of N.

The last number of the latter "Union" says : "The public voice is speaking through the columns of the press in many portions of the State in favor of holding a Convention at this place on the 10th of next month, to take into conside ration the important subject of the Tariff. We like the idea much, and, as citizens of Pennsylvania, feel anxious that it should be carried into effect, certain that much good would flow from it." MR.

I shall not violate what I deem good manners, by going into the de tail, after the habit of some letter writers, of what I saw and heard while an inmate of his hospitable family. It is sufficient .to say, that I found every thing that you might expect from a well-provided, most Hospitable mansion, with a kind-hearted, geherous and noble host.

It is separated from the main hind by a long, narrow strait, and lies be tween the 47th or 48th and 51st or 52d de grees of north latitude, extending along the roast in a northwest direction. The boun dary line between the American and Brit ish possessions in the northwest will prob ably pass across that Island.

Tan IViIEAT CROP OF '.1845.—1f Eu rope is suffering on account of the fitilure of the wheat crops, the United States is a bundantly able to supply the deficiency.— The wheat crop of the U. Stales for this year is estimated at 125,000,000 of bushels, which is twenty-two millions of bushels more than the greatest crop ever raised in this country. That of 1842 was 103,000, 000. The crop of Michigan is compara tively larger than that of any other State in the Umon. With a population of not over 400,000, she raises this year at least, 7,000,000 bushels of wheat. The quality is also of the very best. The Central rail road now brings down to Detroit 10,000 bushels of wheat daily, but the supply •is so very heavy at Marshall and the other depots at this busy season, that the motive power cannot take it oil as fast as the for= warders require. The amount of Indian corn raised in the U. States this seasonis estimated at twenty-two bushels for every man, woman and child in the country. Sun.

REMOVAL.—The citizens of Columbia county have decided by a majority of 1900, to remove their Seat of Justice from Dan ville to Bloomsburg . .

Now how much effort will it require to se secure at least one,third of this numbor as subscribers to the "STAR ?" Suppose, friends, the Matter be tried. Is it too much to ask of each of our present patrons that he make the effort to procure at least one new subscriber i Remember, that every additional name upon our books, places within our command so much addi tional means of rendering our paper profi table and interesting, and of diffusing the wider the principles of the Whig party.

German Reformed Synod. R7,+ - This body continued its sessions at y,,rk. Pa., until Tuesday last. when it adjourned to hold its next annual meeting in Carlisle. The consid eration-of the report of the Committee upon Dr. Schatrs "Principle of Protestantism," occupied the attention of Synod up to Friday evening— when the Report, disapproving of the action of the Philadelphia Chassis upon the subject, was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. The de bate, which was participated in by Drs. Berg and Meyer, and Revs. Helfenstein and Heiner, of Bal timore, in opposition to the Report, and by Drs. Schaff, Nevins, and Bibbighaus, and Revs. Born berger, Gutelitis, and others in or of it—is said to have been very.interesting. Dr. Berg entered a protest against the decision of Synod. as in eili•ct recognizing the doctrinal views of the Mercers burg Professor; Avhich he maintains to be at va riance with the recei‘ed views of the cl,tirch.— The protest was followed up by a reply from the Committee. The Tariff and the Cabinet. 11:3 The Washington Correspondent of the N. York Herald, says that at a meeting of the Cabi net last week, there was a palpable division upon the question of the modification of the Thrill:— Messrs. Walker, Johnson, and Mason favoring a reduction to the. lowest revenue standard, and Messrs. Buchanan, Marcy, and Bancroft opposing it. The vote of the President is said to have de cided the question favorable to reduction. The correspondent remarks that "an explosion of the Cabinet is dreaded upon this very issue." The Pecullar.lnatitution. ID — Another beautiful instance of the workings of gie Slave Institution, occurred in Baltimore city list week. A gentleman, named . Jous A. hist s, and a colored man were arrested in that city a few days since—the latter as a runaway Slave, and the former as an Aboliti9nist, charged with aid ing the escape of the Slave. Mr. Istria has since been discharged, the papers and letters of the col ored man proving him to be a freeman. The lat ter, however, is detained in prison and runs the hazard of being sold into Slavery, under a law of the State, which requires persons so arrested to be sold to defray the prison expenses! An admira ble illustration of the tendencies of the 'Peculiar Institution," which, according to Mr. McDurrin, may he regarded "the corner-stone of our free In stitutions." The Oregon Question. pit is rumored that the British Minister has proposed to submit this question. to arbitration, and that Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of State, is wil ling,' to acquiesce, but is overruled by the Presidents.

She was found in her room, weltering in blood. h'er throat having been cut from ear to car.

In Pennsylvania alone the Whigs have proved shamefully indiflbr cut to the issue, and suffiired, by their apathy and absence from the polls, Locofocoism to continue its sway over our State. We trust the noble ex ample of our sister States will have a tendency-to re-animate every Whig within the borders of the Commonwealth ; to a prompt and ready discharge of duty upon all occasions and at all times. A Good Country. Q3' Every County in the Western Reserve, (Ohio) gave, at the late election, a Whig ma jority. A glorious district, that!

U3' The position of Mr. McLucE, our 'Minister at the Court of St. James, is exciting considerable attention froirrthe press of this' country.- It is snid that he has become dissatisfied and wishes to be recalled, in consequence of the course of President .Polk's Administration, which seems determined to mingle up party broils with foreign negotia tions, even at the hazard of plunging the country in a war with England. Mr. McLane, it is said, went to England, with the understanding thut the negotiation and settlement of the Oregon difficulty was to be' transferred to his hands, but the Presi dent has thus far declined forwarding the necessary instruct ions.

The visionary scl ernes of political as well US religious lanatie.s is menacing the peace of the continental Governments; but if to Abese be added hunger and starvation among tin ! laboring classes, what direful conse(piences may we not apprehend Tl►u Markets. p• The Baltimore Sim of yesterday rays that the'Bews bt the Great Western of further advances in the English markets for all descriptions of bread staffs, had the effect of giving au increased thinness to the flour market in that city; There were sales during the curly part of Wednesday of t,OOO bids.

EU' We do not knnw that we could better sub ferve the purposes of the writer of the annexed Communication, than by soliciting for it the se riotia attention of out. readers. It is from the pen of waim and ardent friend of Pennsylvania in terests, who has, upon snore than one occasion , proved' himself an efficient champion nt the pres ent admirable Taritl; and whose views are accor dingly entitled to regard. There can he no mistake in the too evident notes of preparation for a general and vigorous attack upon the Protective feature of the Act of I Stt2,. by President Polk and his advi sers—and it is equally certain that if it be saved at all, it must be done by Pennsylvania assuming such a stand in relation to it as shall make her NUICe to be heard at Washingtion during the coin ing Winter. Our Correspondent suggests the pro priety of holding a State Convention of the friends of the Protective Policy, for the purpose of devi sing such measures as may be_ adapted to the ex igency. We notice by our exchanges, that the some proposition is being agitated in ditli:rent por tions of the State. The la . pcoMco leaders, justly alarmed at the ruinous consequences that arc like ly to ensue as the legitimate fruit of their decep tive policy in hoodwinking the - honest Democra cy of the State into the delusion that Mr. Polk was "a better Tariff man than Henry Clay," find it ne cesssry to do something to avert, if possible, the retribution that must inevitable await them from a wronged and indignant people. A Tariff meet ing was held at Pittsburg last week, composed Principally of Locofocos, at which strong resolu tions were adopted denouncing the proposed reduc tion of the Tariff, and recommending a State Con vention to assemble at HollidaySburg on the 12th of November. The Harrisburg Union, the lead ing organ of PennsylvaniaeDemocraey," takes e qually strong ground, andproposes the holding of Convention ut Harrisburg at an early day. Oo the other baud, the Whig presses seem gen erally disposed to stand aloof and leave the matter entirely with the Locolocos—believing, with some mason, that those who have been instrumental in bringing about the present state of things, should be held responsible, and made to atone for their past deceeption upon the Tariff question by com mitting es for the future unequivocally for or against its enemies. Communicated. Mr. BrEnt.ER :—From the repeated de clarations of the "Union" newspaper at ---- -Washington city, and the semi-official an nouncement of the Secretary of the Trea sury, it is no longer to be doubted that a reduction of the Tariff of 1842 is to be-at ,tempted at the approaching session of Con ress. That the attempt will be a vigor oils.' one, is manifest from the note. oLpre paration so - loudly sounded ; • that the re duction sought to be effected will be so large as to destroy the protective character of the existing law, is equally certain. No thing short of a reduction to the Free Trade or 20 per cent. standard, will satisfy the South. W ill Pennsylvania—will the East, the North and the Weast, give up the in terests of free labor to be sacrificed to the domineering whims of the South I The farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer, la borers of every class, are interested in pre venting the repeal of the Tariff of 1842. 4 That law found the country in debt, with out credit, deficient in revenue, the curren cy vicious, labor scarce, industry lan guishing in every department, and confi dence every where destroyed. Its effect upon'the country has been almost magical. • It restored credit ; it revived business ; produced abundant revenue; furnished a bundant labor, and promises liberal prices. Every class of the community felt its ben ' elits. It scattered blessings every where as-thickly over the growling, discon tented South as over the more thankful por tions of the Union. But the South will never be satisfied with mere prosperity ; it must give laws to the whole country—laws of its own dictation,.ibiodled_ after its own absurd theories. Shall the other States of the Union bow down to the Free-trade Baal of South Carolina and Mississippi, or ,assert the rights of their own people to the • protection of' laws beneficial to all. This is the problem tohe Solved at the approach ing session of Congress; and that. it may he solved Correctly, Pemisylvania should once prepare to take her place, and act in the van of' die laboring States. The interests she has at stake are greater than those of any other State. Parties are agreed : Whigs and Democrats are for the Tariff of 1842. Let a Convention lie called, in which all classes shall be represented. Let all par ty diarences, for a season, be laid aside, and a united voice go forth from Pennsyl /vania which shall make itself heard in the halls of Congress even above the din of Southern declamation and threatening.— The voice of labor, when it is raised for bread, may he 'raised as high as the voice of its assailants. Hitherto it has busied it-. self with its hands, working in silence, while - its enemies have been blackening it with calumnies, Let it assert its right to to speak—to speak in its own vindication, and, if needs be, in tones as loud and coin- . mantling as its - calumniators have been wont t o use. When it does this its rights will be respected. Mr. Editor, think of these suggestions. .

SUPEItIOI[ COOK •STOVE: TH E attention of the public is respectfully cal-- lea to S. BENTZ'S FAUBER ' S COOK STOVE as an article superior to any yet offered to the public for cooking purposes. It was got up expressly to answer the wants of the Farmer; and will.not fail to please all who may require a good sized COOK STOVE. One of the many advantages possessed by this Stove is, that water, apple-but ter, clothing, &c. can be boiled in a large copper kettle at the same time, whilst cooking is doing for 20 or thirty persons. It is decidedly superior for BAKING—the heat being completely under the control of the cook, who can apply it to the bot tom as well as to the top of the oven, and thus bake with perfect regularity.
