A difficult problem to solve, that is, truly. An extensive Cotton Factory sizings into existence under the fostering influence of the Tariff of 1342, giving employment to a largo nuniber of male and female operatives, and diffusing prosperity and happiness in a thousand families, where before .want, misery, and starvation, were familiar visitants. In an evil liour, the Federal Government deter mines in its wisdom to throw wide open our ports for the introduction of foreign goods, and to place the pauper labor of Europe in competition with the free industry of American mechanics. 1 his Anti-American, British policy is enacted into law in July, 1846, with a proviso that it is to com mence operations in December of the same year.— .In the meantime, even in advance of its reduction' to practice, the disastrous influences of this new , policy, like the shadpw of an approaching storm. cloud, begins to develop° themselves over the coun tq, and everywhere manufacturers, 'who have in vested 'capital in large manufacturing interests, are gradually withdrawing their capital, ceasing opera tiens, discharging hands, and reducing the wages of labor, with a view of meeting, and if possible, Weathering the tempeet that is to burst upon them after the new British Tariff shall have been put in to operation.

The Whig papers of this city inform us thaf on to-morrow are to be chosen dele gates from the city and county of Philadel: phia,•to a State Convention. to nominate for the Whig party, a candidate for gover-' nor. In proof of how little the people have to do in selecting their candidates, (and the bare notninatiou in a successful party is equivalent to an election,) we think prop er briefly to state a few facts. We do this, also, because we would, at once, chronicle the beginning of a movement that is to de velope itself in the future, and to afford a ray of light fir the eyes of those whom the movers would blind and dupe. The members of the conventions about to select the delegates referred to were cho sen months ago, for another purpose, that of selecting a Whig ticket to be voted for at the last election, and not for the purpose of selecting delegates to a State Conven tion. The trust reposed in them has been executed, and their delegated powers are at an end. Yet these are the men, as it appears by the newspapers, who are to se lect the gubernatorial delegates. But pas slag this by, let us proceed to state what does not appear by the newspapers, but what nevertheless is a fact. Let us refer to an authority potential in this matter, not of the convention, not of the pcopte, but exercised in derogation of the rights of both. In the latter part of last week there was a caucus held at a whig gentleman's house in the city of Philadelphia, where there were a few selfish, artful and unscru pitons politicians who are united in the design to rule Pennsylvania. They have selected as their candidate for Governor one with whom they are in constant asso ciation, and over whom they believe they can exercise unhomilled control. At their caucus they decided that such delegates• only should be sent from the city and county of„Philadelphia, as were favorable to theiPeandidate. They wentlytstep far ther. They named and selected the dele gates, and they and their agents have since been busily engaged in moulding to their! purpose the minds of the members of fuel the conventions which are to assemble to morrow, and preparing them for the igno- . rant adoption of their caucus nominees. They have succeeded ; and when the eon venitons Meet the caucus selections will be chosen. In truth, the delegates are al ready selected, and neither the people nor the selecting body have had or will have any more real agency in making the selec tions than the, people of Ohio. Nor is e-1 ven this all, the sante caucus gentlenien, l from a centre here in the city of Philadel phia. have been attempting to arrange, in the same way and for the same purpose. delegations from most of the other coun ties in the State. At the same time they are so industriously- engaged in weaving and spreading the meshes for their own partizans. they are trprvellonsly anxious to ingratiate their candidate in the good will of the Native Americans, and nothing is left undone that may be supposed fitted to conciliate them. It is for the Native Americans more particularly that we chronicle these few facts and expose the wily movements of as selfish a plique of, politicians as ever did mischief. Here then is the beginning of the move ment to which we have referred. We ask the movers whether it is not possible that the development may he unanswerable to their wishes ? and whether it is nut proba ble that nature's laws will notbe suspended for their private benefit and that the fruit they shall reap will correspoird, in kind and character, with the seed they are sow ing Of the above movement and its object, we had been advised for a week or two, from a reliable pri vato source. We were informed that Gen. Invix had gone to Philadelphia and remained there ; that em:cuscs had been held ; plans adopted to carry the city and county; agents sent to different parts of the State to electioneer for the CITY CANDIDATE; . but we did not know, nor did we believe that every principle of flumes.% was to he repudiated in select ing delegates to the Convehtion. We never dream ed that the old convention, called for the purpose, and , the SOLE runeosE, of selecting candidates to be voted for at the late election, were to be drilled for months, and then called together to perform another and entirely different duty—one which they were not appointed to perform, and which they have no right to execute. We would advise the gentlemen engaged in this intrigue to nominate Gen Inv rx, that the course they are pursuing may inevitably defeat his elec tion, should he be the candidate. The country may sometimes submit to be imposed on by the manceuvering and intrigues of the artful and do signing politicians of the city ; but when their in trigues aim at iujustice as gross as that now con templated, the country pill rise up in its own vin dication and teach both the intriguers and the ob ject of their intrigues, that it will not be cheated.— We spdak thus strongly because we believe a wrong is about beingsonsummated in the suppres sion of the popular voice, which cannot fail to prove disastrous to the prospects of the Whig party. (0 - Since the above was in type, we have ob served an able article in the Uniontown Demo crat upon the gubernatorial miestiorp, from which we make the following extract. The Democrat is friendly to the re-nomination of Gen. MARKLE, and is reviewing the exceptionable articles that have lately appeared in one or two presses devoted to the interests of Gen. !arm, to which we took oc casion to refer a week or two since : “The Philadelphia North American,one of whose editors was a member of the con vention that nominated Gen. 'Markle, and then . supported Gen. Irvin, asserts that the majority of the Whig party are now in fa vor of the latter. If that be true we need no State Convention—no passing upon the subject by the people. The politivianiof Philadelphia have settled the question. The Hareisburg Intelligencer, too, has asserted. lately that Gen. Irvin was the strongest candidate in The Convention of 1814. 'est?, why. was he not.nothipated ? Because, says the in tell igeneer, "a bargain', was consummated” immediately before the final vote nominating Markle. The writer of this article was a member of that Convention, and was in the midst of the members in the conversation immediately preceding the fin•il vote, and he asserts without hesitation that the, charge is :til -1 qualifiedly false, and no member of the Convention, present on the occasion, will ;venture to hint at, or affirm its truth. We caution our friends at the commercial and political metropolis of the State, who have assumed to dictate to the country part of the State, and have not - ceased, for four years, "in season and out of sea'son." to try 'to electioneer their candidate into pub lic favor, that a nomination obtained by, such means., emanating from such sources,! may fail to deserve and receive a coldial support after it shall have been made. Now we assert that Cen. Irvin never was the choice of a majority of the Whig party, and never will be, if it can proved or produced only by charges of bargain and corruption against tho,,e who did not prefer hitt,. - If the first balloting in the Convention of 1844 did not show Gen. Markle to be the choice of the majority, the final result and all the previous ballot tings showed clearly that a majority was opposed to Gen. Irvin. And more and better, a majority of the whole Conven tion—the first choice of a few being out of the question—preferred Gen. Markle to . Gen. Irvin. From the friends of Judge Banks and Mr. Cooper, our old friend Gen. Markle has received nothing but kind, candid and fair treatment—nothing except that which was due from honorable rivals in afair contest, for a post of honor. The friends of Judge Banks owed nothing, to those who commenced and carried out, a war which was intended to thrust aside! their favorite, as is is now sought to de done' by the same persons against Gen.l Markle." The Elections. 'The Result of the recent Elections as announced last week have, in the main, been consumed by later intelligence. MICHIGAN, notwithstanding the heavy Whig gains a hichled 113 to !tore for one or two of the Congressmen, still clings to LocolOcoi,m. All the members of Congress will be, as at Present. Locofuco.

In another column will be found an account of this remarkable invention, which bids fair to super sede the use of gun powder. Experiments have been made at Washington city in the presence of Gen. Scott, Presidenr Polk, and others, which re- Rifted very satisfactorily. Prof OTTO thus explains the mode of preparing the gun cottbn : , To convert a hale of cotton into a cannister of the best glazed double-battle Dupont, he distills ten parts of salt-peter with six parts of sulphuric acid, dips the cotton for half a minute into the acid thus obtained, then washes it well in clean water, dries it and makes it into cartridges. The following is the chemical explanation of this: Cotton is lig neousfibre in extreme subdivision, and ligneous fibre is carbon or wood: Hence a hale of cotton and a load of hickory arc somewhat analogous. Dipped in Professor Otto's "unis nnortr," it becomes sa turated with nitric acid, which consists of two parts of nitrogen and five of oxygen. It the com bination of carbon and oxygen, or f n fee; .for on being brought in contact with fire, the car bon is kindled and the oxygen that sustains the combustion is immediately liberated in the expan sive gaseous form, many times exceeding in vol ume the substance burned, and - by this sudden ga- seous expansion, producing the explosive force. da'Counterfeit Hall Dollars are said to be afloat, well executed, but 50t0e , .% hat duller in the sound than silver, and may be detected by a ti el and look of greasiness. Be careful ! More Volunteers. The Government has at length been comrelled to respond to the call rite by the Press all over the country, to re-inforce the army on the Rio Grande. The Washington Union states that r • quisitions have been sent out from the War De partment, calling into the service of the U. States nine additional regiments of volunteers to serve during the war. with Mexico, unless sooner dis charged. They are asked for from the following States: - One Regitnent of Infantry from Penn s.tilvania ; one from Massachusetts .; one from New York ; one from Virginia ; one from North Carolina ; one . from South Carolina ; one from Louisiana ; one from Mississippi ; and one regiment of mounted men front Texas. This call incontestably proves the vaccinating policy of the Administration, and shows that the ! m a nagers of this War have gotten themselves into . • uithcuity from which they know not how to es cape. It was but last week that we published a letter from the Secretary of War announcing that No additional troops would be called out, together with an extract from the President's official organ intimating that offensive operations would be a bandoned until after the meeting of Congress. We are pleased, however, to find the Administration moving in the matter even at this !ate hour. The war has justly been denounced as unnecessary and wrong in its incipiency, and they through whose agency the country became involved in it, will be held responsible for the blood and treasure lost in the waging of ii ; but now that hostilities have been commenced, there can be but one line of duty, and that is to prosecute the War to a speedy and hon orable issue. The cause of public morals, the interests of the country, religion, right, and justice suffer an irreparable injury every hour of its con tinuance, and every good citizen must long to see it closed. If the Government design prosecuting the War, let it be done with energy, and let our ins-ailing army be reinlorced and well supplied with the material necessary to enable them to op. erate to advantage. Had General Scwr-r's re- commendation, not to commence operations un til a fbrce of at least 3U,10;) men were collect ed on the frontier, been heeded by the sage ru lers into whose hands the ruins of Government have unhappily fallen, much of th;: , delay and Ims already sustamed by marching ; o handful of men into the midst of a hostile tern tory and Com Fell im! them to sustain an unequal contest with a superi or lure°, might have heen avoided. The policy of the Admini,tration in regard to our gallant and brave little army has been wrong—it has been cruel. The country will hail with joy . the evi , deuce of a change of policy ,which this call for ad. ditionul troops seems to indicate. Er Gov.

Scott and the Mexican War. ID -- "The Ilero of Chippewa," says the North American, "continues devoted to the duties of the War Department at Washington. All the ener gie,t of his vigorous intellect, great experience . and unsurpassed skill are directed to the enforce ment of the operations in Mexico; and it is said that the administration itself admits the invaluab:e advantages derived from his aid and counsel. Re membering the circumstances NliliCh c sin him at the seat of Government, when his heart pants to lead on his own columns to victory, this cordial and earnest co-operation of Gen. Scott with the administration that thus hamFers and hedges him in, is inagnanimous and patriotic almost beyond the marvels or ancient story It is Sampson in chains grinding corn for his oppressors. He makes the path straight tor others to win the vic• tories Which he decemed his right by rank, and by every claim of former glory and presentmerit. He sorts what others reap; and feeds the flame of a glory not a beam of which is permitted to midi him. Yet this government Exile from the battle field, toils on, with all the might of his earnest heart anti mind, and murmurs not—for the sacri fice is for his country. We cannot regard the melancholy but devoted Veteran and patriot without mingled Ice lings of t pride and melancholy. Let his enemies beware! There is an eloquence in the silence of this chain ed eagle, who wears out his heart against the chain which keeps him 'from the field of glory, which appeals, and not in vain, to the sympathies of a generous people. If, as the facts have proven, Gen. Scott was iight—the injustice done him has scarcely a parallel in history. If he Was in error, his punishment is most disproportionate and crtiel. The people of the country cannot forget the gln. -ries of his past life nor regard, without deep teel ings of sorrow, the rigorous executive decree 'which, prompted by an un orthy jealousy shuts him out from a share of the fame so richly won by his inferiors. We vs ould not be surprised if, after the meeting of Congress, the facts of this case were so presented to the country, as to excite, far and wide, a reaction in Jikvor of the Hero. There is no partizan so unjust as to regard such penal. ty as merited by a,breach of etiquette.: and the millions of the country have, by their own action • proved that an honest want of respect for the ad ministration iif‘not. in their opinion, a crime.'
