,will
refer 'to a few only If the Many glaring in
staneet of this eharapterin the bill. There
are, by estimate, in OM United States, about
500,000 men emploted in 'making . 'clOthes,
and re flay add t,o this the number of ,
Women engaged in %lie same pursuit. Ready
inad6 clothes, by fli' bill, as in schedule C,
are charged 30 per cnt., and the material of
which most of thern:ore made is in the mine
schedule. All: knot that the, labor upon
clothes in i Europe, tlptuticalarly France, is_
done by pOor worne:n and half starved men,
who eat Meat perhaps once a month—who
give no 'education ni their children, and who
never expect to see Them elevated above the
wretchednessof the birth. .These persons,
Who literally vrork'for a shilling a day,-will,
flood the country With ready made clothes, ;
and .driiMout of employment this intelligent,
and worthy class otpur people. . . .
In further , proof, 4 will cite a few cases of
smaller mariufactuies. Take the cases of
ginger, for instanct: the raw material in'
schedule B paying 40 per cent. ad valorem,
j
while the nianufactitred article is, in scedule
C, payin only 30 :per cent., thus g iving 10
per cent.* f a premium 'to foreign &or over
our own..
. The like case Cie curs in iron to be con
verted into steel. The raw material is; in
schedule 0, paying 30 per cent., and the
steel itself is, in sciedtde F, paying only 15
per cent. I Again, •e, have the case of Peru
' clan barlto be cotiverted into quinine. The
raw material is cluirged 15 per cent., while
the mannfacturedi one is charged but 20 ;
making only 5 pei cent. of a difference,
when heretofore thire has been a difference
of '2O per cent, iii order to encourage its
manufacture -in thi4 country. The amount
of capital invested in this item, apparently
so unimportant, ts very large. A single
house inThiladelithia has in its manufac
'
ere more than $lOO,OOO. This branch of
manufactures, like , )ill others, adds largely
to the coMmerce atitloavi,, , Mtion of the coun
try. It requires 34 pounds of bark to make
one of quinine. The manufacturer . here
purchases the cheati domestic fabrics of the
country, ships . thet4 t 6 the western coast of
41
South ~aterica, anti barters them for bark,
with which-- his sips return laden. • The
bark is made intoiquinitte-; and its great
value is the labor Which is here put upon it.
Our great con:yet - ons in this manufacture
are the English and French. If you destroy
our establishments;iyou transfer also to those
countries the comakrce and navigation con

The foregoing nre the nominations made by the
Democratic rind Whig pat-tics respectively, on Mon
: day and Tuesday of last week. As to the candidates
' for Representative, both are welbdisposed, honest
.fanners. Aside from the principles and the meas
ures which they would endeavor to prmote, it is of
little consequence to the people, of this cmudy which
is elected. Mr. Thomas is a Democrat whose po
litical views in the main weapprove but, if,elect
ill, he will favor anti-Tariff and anti-Penu.syNtuda
doctrines, such as are avowed by the Fire-proof
clique who =matted to secure his nomination by as
rank political knavery as ever disgraced- a desper
ate faction. At their instance, the CUunty Commit- .
tee appointed three persons for each Township, with
instructions to offi r ciate "A 3 A fmAan OF ELECTION "
at Delegate meetings; and all this, because they
were afraid to filial the people, and vcii.hed , even at
the havard of common honesty. to secure Delegates
favorable to the so-uominatimi of Wilmot and 'the..
as, So addicted, to political iniquity, and eager,
With arbitrary means, to control (never consult) the
popular Will, are these 01(1 II tinkers who surround
the Fire-proof, they even boast of. their ability to
unumfacture opinions and political 'sentiments for
the people. They say. If we can manage by any
means,fair or fold, to procure the right kind of Del
-1 eglites, we can adopt an resolutions we please in
Convention, and
.the party will 4:wallow them down.
as a matter of - rourse,• and pronounce them sound
doctrines though directly opposed to dick most
inn
portent interests." Such is the presumption of the
office holding clique: Ul3ll -WS we are determined,,
"fearless of dein:wit/6mi front any quarter," to deal
friulkly and righteously with all, we should
consider our Selves derelict in duty to our Deinocrat
ic readers, were we not to expose the unwarranta
ble assumptions and selfish designs of an unholy
Faction over honest and ansuspecting voters.
The fact, then, that Messrs. Thomaas and Wilmot
were the choice of a Convention thus parked, gives
very little real sanction to their appearance as can
didates before the People. Very lOW- persons at
tended the Delegate elections, such was the indig
nancy of their feelings toward the Count e ss Commit
tee. In some instances, the " Eloare only met, and
returned two of their number as Delegates " duly
elected.
Considering the manner, in' whith Mr. Thomas
was nominated, end theimti-Penns}'lvahin•doctrines
which, if elected, lie will be iniand, holler the dicta
tion of the Clique, to support, he cannot expect a
full party vote. •
As to Commissioner, the DemoeUltih candidate,
Mr. West, resides in the same Too, 4 tailiip with his
competitor, Mr. Lamb, and is one ofthe independent
Detnocrats who, last fill, manfully and righteously
bolted the Old Hunkers and • supported the Pero_
phi's Ticket," which created such terror and alarm
with the Fire-ritoof faction. Mr. West; is a worthy,
mall, and merits the vote of every Deelocret in the
county.

little about him except by the very eMn who pat
hind in nomination,. and who last fall spoke very in

The Tariff as alieried.
The question is not =frequently aslecl,. were you
not, in the full of 1844, favorable to an alteration Or
modification of the Tariff act of 18421] Our answer
is ready. We desired some reasonable chang - es In
the 'law, but never; for a moment, cot: dd we haie
consented to the 'passege of a Bill thei provhdons of
which were palpably, I hrjurious if not fatally ruinous
to the best interests of our own St4e- The high
duties upon coal and iron under the Abt of 1842; ip

embark, extensively, in the various brluches of ire n

is the instability of legislation, that th 6— hopes both'

former must sink his' capital, while 4, latter mutt
be turned out of employment, or suffei his wages to
