Farmers and the Tariff.
Er We find the following excellent illustration
of the operation of the Protective System upon the
Agricultural interest in a late No. of the National
Intel' igencer.
A WORD TO OU'Et MARYLAND FRIENDS .
"FARMERS or AlAnrclocn !—Of how much ser
vice hai the Tariff of 1542 been to you? Have
not the prices of your produce been gradually de
clining under its operatic!, !"
So asks the Baltimore Argue. Soreasons
the Locofbco press generally.
Now it is the easiest thing in the world to
give to these questions a plain answer, ond
which will satisfy any unprejudiced mind.
When, in 1810, Mr. CALHOUN was the
advocate of a protective tariff, he urged the
measure because it would build up a home
market and favor American interests, in
stead of a foreign people. That, no doubt,
was the tendency of his measures and of
the policy which had his fostering care.—
Ile aimed, first, to open a new market for'
cotton; he would have a sure and certain
home trade in the article, and not be depen
dant on the caprice of a single set of custom
,ers who were three thousand miles oll . ;1
but he aimed also to withdraw from agri
culture a portion of the labor then bestowed
upon the production of the field, and thus,
while he caused a portioit of this cotton
to be manuliictured in the country, to open
in like =inter a new market for the super
abundant harvests of wheat and corn which
the farmers of the country produced.
Now who can deny that this was a wise
and statesinan-like policy? It has at least
the, evidence of experience in its fvor.—
When the rates of duty have been high,
the manufacturers have been enabled to etn
ploy many hands and pay good prices,
both for labor and for the food for which
they supplied a market. Then it may be j
said, as a general remark, both they and
the farmers and the country prospered.
When the duties have been reduced, the
wages of labor have invariably fallen, pri
ces of lands and goods have become de-1
pressed,private Imkrupteles have followed,
and the national litith became tarnished.— j
Weneed onlygo back to the years 1840 and'
1941 to be liirnishod with full proof ei'f the
Vali of this assertion.
But, let us see how a tariff benefits a
people. • In, the first place, it. furnishes to
them the best capital they can possibly en-
joy—the means and the rewards of labor.
Why arc the Rakers a prosperous com-1
milky ? Because they are industrious. j
They furnish employment to all their I
members. They produce much from their;
lands,- their looms, and their Workshops,l
which thoy dispose of in the market at good
prices; they buy little. Their support
and their clothing are derived from their
own diversified laborS.
For the maintenance of the poor in any
community, the best philosophy - as well
as the tritest charity is to furnish them
with the means of labor; not to give them
bread, but to let them earn it.
If this is so true in regard to the extreme
ease of paupers, is it false reasoning when
applied, not to the poor in the legal accept
ation, but to such as cannot buy lands !
To benefit them you must employ them
and give them wages. This is what the
tariff enables the manufacturers to do.
Now, let the FARMERS OF MARYLAND see
an illustration of this benefit on their own
soil. We ask their attention to the prac
tical effects of manufacturing as •exhibited
by the LAtutzt.FAcruav, in Prince Georges
county.- •
'That region of country is familiarly
known to all who have been in the habit
of travelling between Washington and Bal
thriare. Ten years ago it was a barren
region. incapable, as its proprietor very
forcibly expressed it, of producing evenpoe
erly-gruss. Its assessable value, and a
'.hard bargain at that," was $5 the acre.—
But it had a Moderate but neglected ivaler
power,•which the enterprising and intelli
gent owner conceived the idea Of turning
to account. In 1830 he obtained front the
Legislature of Maryland a charter and
caused a cotton factory to be erected on a
nook of this barren land. In its infan
cy this factory struggled with difficulties :
in the disastrous years of 1837 and 1838
its patrons had nearly yielded to the blast
which, with malign effect; swept over the
land; but, hoping almost against hope,
they firmly resolved' to proceed. Amidst
much embarrassment they hyld on their
-course, till at lefigth the benign tariff act of
1812 gave them a welcome relief,
Now look at the results. Where not a
habitation stood before, a village has grown
up of two thousand inhabitants. Numer
ous well-built stone and brick houses and
a stone church have been erected; a com
munity of christian worshipers have been
collected, schools established, and all the
external symbols of a thriving population
meet the eye. The lands which were
desert before are verdirit now, yielding ex
uberant harvests, and the acres which were
dear at five dollars an acre formerly, can
not be purchased at fifty dollars an acre
now. If the neighboring farmers have
eggs and poultry, corn, wheat, butter, and
meats to dispose of, they find heat. almost
at their own-doors, a ready market and
good prices. But, more titan all, and this
-is the glory of the establishment, it gives
employment to the poor, to such as need
it;, and it gives prompt and liberal pay.
The Laurel factory employed, the last
year, in its various departments, 520 hands.
It paid for labor the following amounts,
viz:
In the cotton department $42,046 16
In the iron ditto, (ma

By reference to a card in our ad% ertising columns
it will be seen that Dr. Nus, of York, has an
nounced himself as a candidate to represent this
district in the next Congress. Dr. Nes, while rep
rosentating, his fellow citizens two years ago, fully
redeemed the pledges which he had givrn to his
friends, and we believe gave general satisfaction
to his constituents. -
p - The Lucofoco conferees to nominate a can
dilate for . Congress, met at Hanover on Friday last
but separated without making a nomination—the
delegates from this county insisting upon the
nomination of Mr. DixNErt, and those from York
claiming it for Col. RANKIN. They try it again
to-day at East Berlin.
Er The editor of the Compiler is assured that
we have no inclination to "interfere" in the "ar.

111 7 m. B. lA)4ter on the Tariff:
several Locofoco papers, desirous of staving
off the issue wich they so much dread to have
thrown before the people at the coming election,
have unblushingly affirmed Mr. FOSTER, their
candidate for Canal Commissioner, to be a Tariff
man and opposed to McKay's Bill. The editor of
the Harrisburg Argun, (a violent Locofoco paper,)
who knows Mr. Foster's views "like a book," pro
nounces theta to be similar to those of Free-trade
R'rr.MOT, and says
"We now say, and can safely appeal to every
man that has ever heard Mr. Foster speak on the
subject, and they are,not a few, that HE WAS
AN OPEN OPPONENT OF THE TARIFF
OF 1842, and an ADVOCATE and DEFENDER
of the views expressed on that subject by the OR.
GANS OF THE ADMINISTRATION AT
WASHINGTON."
This, we apprehend, settles the matter, and will
give to the free voters of the State an oppor ity
to choose between Wm: B. FosrEn, the Free.trie
candidate, and JAMES M. Powsn, the advocate of
Protection to American Industry.
c-Our Locofoco brethren have been terribly
nonplussed by Mr. Coopsn's nomination for the
Legislature. The "Pennsylvanian" and sundry
other papers, full of presentiments as to what may
be expected in case Mr. COOPER should bo found
leading the Whig van in 1847, fear that the pre
sent nomination has an "awful squinting" towards
the Gubernatorial question !

hastily collected but interesting statistics,
though they are so highly deserving of at
tention. Brit, with these results before 114,
we declare our entire want of patience with
those who decry a tariff which fosters
home industry, - diffuses blessings among
the poor. and converts a desert land into a
garden. Let the farmers of Maryland no
tice the fact that of the $279,000 expend
ed by this small factory for one year, over
893,000 of it was for labor; and, in all
probability, the greater part of it was re
ceived by the sons and daughters of poor
men, who, but for this employment, might
have spent their time in idleness, or been
the victims of the most corrupting vice.—

The Nell - Tariff In England.
lETThe English Newspapers, as was expected
and predicted, arc exulting over the repeal of the
Tariff of 184?, and join in with the Locoloco pa
pers of this country in laudations of McKay's
Bill. Listen twthe London Times, the must in
fluential Of the British Free trade presses: •
"The alteration in the American Tariff cannot
but he regarded as a•great triumph gained by the
principles of free trade. There has long been in
the U. States a party anxious to realize the doc
trinesof ranc-Tannz. Their elkirts hare been re
sisted by the indifference of one class and the lel
, fi.shness of another. But when the fir:q cominer
icial-people in the world flung away the fetters of
an obsolete prejudice, and courted the competition
of rival industry, then the friends of FREE TRADE,
(in every quarter of the globe; gained confidence
and hope. A new movement began—lTS FIRST
FRUIT IS THE MODIFICATION OF THE
AMLRICAN TARIFF."
"It is almost impossible," says the European
Times "to overate the beneficial effect the new
American Tariff will have upon the manufactu
ring industry of Great Britain!" Such is the
language of the British press and British politi
cians in regard to the new "British Tariff — enact
ed and endorsed by American Locofocoism. Who
arc now the advocates of British Interests?
The Fraud Exposed.
Most of our readers, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, have already been informed that several
of the leading Locolocos of this State, who are
in the confidence of the Administration, are in the
course of their electioneering tactics, making an
effort to persuade the people that during the next
session of Congress, the Tariff of At; will be re
pealed, so far as relates to coal andiron. But this
is a fraud, a mere electioneering tri ck. Some of
the more manly of the democratic prints have al
ready had the frankness to admit and denounce it
as such. Witness the following, which we copy
from the New York Globe of Sept. 2, a leading
Administration journal of the Commercial Em
poriutri :
e• Ire have made up our mind to :gale plainly to
those who wish to hull out inducements to a portion
of the people of Pennsylvania that the next Con
gress will increase the duty on Coal and Iron, that
no such thing will occur. We say to Pennsylvania,
that the next change in the duty on Iron will be made
in (he descending, instead of the ascending - , scale."
Mark this! people of Penns'ylvania. :Pass it

Frec-ii•ade Wilmot in Trouble.
ITT NC-trade WI LMOT, the only one Of the
Pennsylvania delegation in the National Legisla
ture that dared betray his State by giving his
name to the bond which sacrificed her industry to
conciliate the advocates of British interests, and
whose principles the Compiler last week pro
nounced to be those "of a roan, a Christian, a DF.3I
- gotten himself into trouble in his
own district. The Locofocos of Susquebana
county tecently held a courvy convention, and ap
pointed conferees to re-nominate .Ir. Wilmot for
Congress, whereupon a portion of the Convention
seceded and held another meeting at which they
denounced Mr. W., and pledged themselves "to
adopt the one term principle, and favor a speedy
repeal of the Anti-Pennsylvania Tariff of 1546."
A convention to ratify these proceedings was
called to meet on Monday last.
Try It Again.
lOTA ridiculous Story has been going the rounds
of the Lorain() papers. stating that Mr. COOPER,
of the Trenton Iron Works, had raised the wages
of the hands employed under him since the reduc
tion of the Tariff. Absurd as the story was, it
has made its appearance in almost every Free
trade paper. Mr. Cooern himself, however, has
seen tit to notice the matter, and in a letter to the
Philadelphia Ledger not only denies, that the, wa•
ges have been increased, but says !hat "wages, so
far from being.advanced mint. as a ;now of ab•
solute neressily, be very considerably nimucEn so
as to meet a falling, market!•' to that authority
wont do.
Repudiation hi Maryland.
A small party exists in Caroll county, Md.
known as "Repudiators," and composed almost
exclusively of persons from the Locofoco ranks,
who have taken upon themselves to nullify the
laws providing for the payment of the State Tax,
and resist the payment of all taxes which are to
be applied to a liquidation of the State's liabilities.
One of the most active among them is a Mr. J.s
con POWDEII, for a long time one of the leaders of
the Locofoco party in Carol! county. Having re
fused to answer the call of the Collector, thc , latter
attempted some weeks since to realize the lax by
levying upon one of Mr. Powder's horses with the
view of selling it. The attempt, however, was re
sisted by Mr. Powder and his friends, with threats
of violence in case the attempt were persisted in.
On the 31st ult. the horse was exposed to sale at
the Court-house by the Collector, and knocked off'
at one dollar. Mr. Powder, however, still holds
possession of the horse, and with his friends has
announced his determination to resist all attempts
to remove it. We gather the above facts from
the "Westminster Democrat," the editor of which
declines commenting upon the proceedings lest,
he says, it should "injure the party!"
Vermont.
The recent election in Vermont has, as usual.
resulted favorably to the Whig cause. In 117
towns, Ssirrit, the Whig candidate for Governor,
leads EATON, Locofoco, upwards of .1,600 votes
—being a gain of about 1,000 over last year. In
consequence, however, of the number of scattering
votes there has been no election of Governor by
the people. SMITH will of course be chosen by
the Legislature, which is strongly Whig.

Gen. Scott and the War.
The eager haste with which the partizans of the
lAdministration availed themselves of what they
deemed an error in Gen..Scwres sugestions in re
ference to the conduct , of the Mexican war. in or
der, if possible, to stay the tide of popular feeling
Iso rapidly running in favor of the veteran soldier,
will well be remembered by our readers. For some
1 time the presses in the interest of the Adminis
tration were well plied in the production of charges
of selfishness, imbecility, & cowardice, while from
the lips ()revery petty demagogue throughout the
country could be heard hypocritical lamentations
over the wreck wrought in the lame of WislriAn
IScorr by the dazzling visions sprung into being
Iby an unholy ambition. For some time, we say,
1 these charges were wrung upon the. cars of th e
people, and clung to with a pertinacity that evinced
i at once the deep dread with which Locufocoism
I viewed the rising popularity of the noble chieftain,
i and the desperate means to which demagogu'
are willing to resort to crush a too pOwerful'rival.
But as time rolled on, bringing with it a trium.
inhant refutation of all that had been charged, and
most singularly fulfilling every prediction made
by Gen. Scott in regard to the operations of the
(campaign, one by one these montlepieces•of Loco-
focoism were gradually silenced, until not a sin
gle
whisper is heard; even that "hasty plate of
soup." which for so long a time had furnished a
favorite theme for witless newspaper scribblers,
is forgotten, and a silence in regard to Gen. Scorr
anal the war is observed as profound as though such
a person had never existed. It is not at all singular
that this silence should be so studiously observed;
it is but natural that the rogue unexpectedly de
tected in the midst of his villainies should loathe
any recurrence to his own wrong-doings; but it is to
be lamented that scarcely a locofoco editor can be
found with manliness enough to 'correct their mis•
representations or to repair the injustice done
to a brave and gallant soldier. The only instance
in which this reparation has been attempted, so as
Wi•c have observed, is that of the Baltimore Sun, an
independent daily journal, whose editors, although
scorning to unite with Gen. Scott's villitiers in
reckless assaults upon his well-earned fame, were
disposed to censure him for the views expressed
in his letters to Secretary Marcy. T i me, howev
er, proves Gen. Scott to have been right, and the
editors of the Sun frankly make the acknowledge-
Merit in their paper of Satuiday last, in an article
upon the conduct of the war, from which we ex-.
tract the following paragraph:
Whatever indiscretion Gen. Scott may
have displayed by' his reluctance to depart
for the scat of war at the time he received
' the verbal instructions of the President,
it is every day becoming more and more
manifest and undeniable that his aeograph
ieal, or rather his meteorological • knowl
edge of the Rio Grande, and military ex
; perienee, will be amply vindicated. The
reasons which he assigned as grounds for
delay, with the declaration 0).1, hostilities
could not be resumed, nor the invasion of
the enemy's territory successf u lly prose
cuted until early in September, are now
well substantiated and beyond dispute.—
Every day, and every communication from
the Rio Grande has only hastened and
confirmed the testimony and experience of
General Scott, and.adds a fresh leaf to his
laurel;:, which nothing but the inveterate
spirit of party would deny him. A brave,
and generous, and noble hearted soldier, it
is to be regretted that his name was ever
given to the contention of party, thr although
it nay never be sullied thereby, it proper
ly belongs to the country—and his fame
with that of a Taylor, must ever be blend
ed with her's. Lundy's Lane and Palo
Alto, with the heroes and heroic deeds of
Republican chivalry, will never grow dlin
on the pages of American history.
Mexico and the Army.
We have all sorts of flying rumors in regard to
the intentions and mcivements . of the Mexican Gov
. eminent with reference to this country, but very
little intelligence of a definite character. The ar
my is fast concentrating upon Catnargo, or at least
that portion of it under Gen. TArton, with the
intention of marching upon Monterey, some time
in September. It is said that the Mexicans will
make a stand at that place, and are concentrating
their forces with that view. On the other hand, it
is affirmed that the city of Monterey is but poor
ly defended and that but little resistance, if any, Will
be made to the advance of our army. It is now
beginning to be feared tliat the Mexicans design a
dopting the Guerilla warfare, and will make a de
monstration against Matamoros while the main
body of the army, is advancing upon Monterey.—
On the night of the 17th ult." party of 400 Ran
cheros suddenly burst into the former city, and af
ter producing a little fright, again scampered olt
Gen. Kearney was, at last accounts, advancing ra
pidly upon ° Santa Fe, and, it was thought, would
take that point without much"resistance. Nothing
additional from Santa Ana.
Important Rumor.
A correspondent of the New Yoik Tribune, wri
ting from Havana under date of August 16, states
that an agreement had taken place between San
ta Anna and certain Agents of the British (l and
American governments,' concerning the• future
destiny of Mexico. The following is said to be
the arrangement—rather doubtful:
• "The Mexican Federal Government of
1824 to be re-established tinder thc guar
anty of the United States; so that, in case
of future pronunciamentos, the U. States
Government shall have a right to interfere
in support of the Constitutional Govern
ment. The Rio Grande to be the boun
dary lineand the Californias to beorganized
as a distinct Territorry, under the protec
tion of the U. States, but not governed by
Americans until the inhabitants shall think
fit to annex themselves, to favor which pur
pose the country will be. allowed to carry
on a free trade with both Republics, and
admit colonists from all countries, and of
all religions and creeds." -

On the other side the Old and New citizens of
Nauvoo have organized themselves, with tt deter

approach of the Anties.' They number about 500
well disciplined men with several field pieces, and
are under the command of Major P.UIFER , who
bears a commi.;sion hum the GoVtrnor of the
State with full authority to preserve the peace,
accept the services of volunteers, to aid in making
arrests of disturbers of the peace. &c. Armed
with this authority, Major Parker has issued his
Proclamation, calling upon the Adei-Mormons to
disband and return to their homes. Constable
Carlin replies that as soon as he shall have collect
ed a sufficient force, he will enter Nan voo. Should
this determination be persisted in, sad work may
be anticipated. Let the law, however•, be sustain

of the Democracy, why did Vice President
Dallas vote against the motion to recommit
the bill with a view to such modifications
as Secretary Walker had promised, and as
Senator Cameron had urged? Why if
Mr. Polk and his Cabinet were sincerely
solicitous about the interests of Pennsylva
nia, was Mr. Buchanan so quiet while these,,
interests were being crushed? Why during
the pendency of this bill in Congress, was
he not sliding among the member's desks
and securing their votes, as was the fact
when every favorite measure of the admin

AN ERROR CORRECTED.- A statement
has been piing the rounds of the papers
that Mr. Cooper, manager of the Trenton
Iron Works, has raised the wages of his
hands since the passage of the new Tariff
Bill. Mr. Cooper, however, in a letter to
the Ledger denies the truth of the report,
and asserts that"instead ofadvancing, wages
must be considerably reduced between this
and the first of December next."

for the selection of a candidate to femesent us in

American Industry and the Tariff of ISIV, and
those oposed to the new British Tariff Bill, to be
up and doing, and to consider who would be most
likely to carry with him success as our candidate.
It is admitted that Our mother York is entitleri to

policy, permit me to speak the sentiments of an

suggest the name of HENRY NES, of York,
as a 'candidate likely to secure morn %me... , in this
county than any other intik idual from York coun

time influenced many 14 our best 11;logs to with

With these facts in view, does it not become a

diseases, even insanity and
irritability of temper, proceed from deprav
ed or corrupt humors, which, circulating
with the blood, occasion pain and discord in
the human Irame. It is clear, that, by per
veverance in the use of Brandreth's Vegeta
ble Universal Pills, which is one of the very
best, and only proper purgative medicine,
insanity and irritability of temper can be
cured, as well, as all other diseases depend
ing upon the pureness of the circulating
fluid, the blood.
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills are
known, by the experience of thousands,
to perfectly cleanse the blood from all foul
ness, remove every morbid affection, and
renovate weak and enfeebled constitutions
to perfect health and vigor.
Their acknowledged innocence makes
them safe through every period of exist
ence, from infancy to old age. ,
No extra care in either dress or diet is
required . when they are used.
With this invaluable medicine in our
possession, we may visit the most sickly
regions without fear. No" contagion can

freely use these Pills.
