" That theliiolicy'',of the democratic 'ma l ty

a reasonable protection, not only to he'T man
ufacturers, bit also itiher farmers, iiiehaiii..
ics and labaiers, engaged or interested in
her great, staples of iron and coal.
" That we, file laboring men "of Berks
county, beliee that the time has arrived
when it is ii)iportant that we should speak
in a tone not:to be misunderstood, and that
we call u pon the laboring men of the 'cOun
try, to raise pheir voice against the British
Tariff of forty, T six and that we insist upon its
immediate rePeal."
Resolved, allot we also approve the fol
lowing. resolss, by the Democracy of old
Northumberland, on i the 3d inst., to wit:
"Resolved That !the Democracy of the
'Keystone State _ Ilane been cheated and be
trayed by thel passage of McKay's British
Tariff Bill, Najd it fis doe to themselves to

hereby pledgii ourselves to support no man,

ppposedto tliat iriiipritous measure, and in
favor of givirig a fair and just protection to
home industrt and domestic manufactures."
Resolved, That the following resolution,
adopted in o Democratic Convention of
Cumberlandounty, on the 10th inst., re
ceives our ded,ided approbation :
" Resolved That we disapprove of The.
tariff of 18164-that we are in favor of a "rev
enue tariff," that will afford " incidental pro
tection to ourliorne industry"—that we con
ider the tariff of 1846 will not produce rev
enue sufficient to defray the expenses of the
government itonomically administered, is
au ahandonmOt of the principle of inciden
tal protection o American industry, arid in
as results ma be injurious to the great iron
and coal interpsts of Pennsylvania."
That we concur in the opinions set forth
in the following Resolution adopted by_ the
Democracy of Perry county on the 3d inst.
" Resolved: That Polk and Dallas receiv
ede. the Electo9al vote of Pennsylvania under
the,impres'sio(t and belief that the interests
of our State *ould be safe in their hands;
that while *O . did not oppose all amend
ments or modifications-of the Tariff 0f1842,
vet we approijed of the principles on which
it was based4and view with regret and alarm
it' entire destruction by the Tariff act of
1S 16.—That Tariff of 1846, in our opin
ion, is not " a; tariff for revenue,—such a one
will yield 4sufficieint amount to the Treas
ury- to defrayihe exiienses of the Govern
inent economically administered," and does
not "afford reasonable incidental protection
to our home'sdustry'," - That it does trot
afford "fair atid just , protection to all the
treat interest of the e'nion, embracing Ag
reulture, MaOufactures, the Mechanic Arts,
Commerce, acid Navigation"—but that it is
framed with At view to the interests of the
South at the .4xpensci of the manufactures of
the North, mil esPeCially the Iron and Coal
Interests of P lvania."
That we c4rdially agree with thebemoc
racy of Miflit(' . County, who in Coprention
on the 3d insii adopted the following :
" Resolved ;therefore, That every consid
eration of jus4ce and expediency entitles its
to expect with confidence, that the next, ses

glaring injustice which has been shown Ito
the interests at Pennsylvania."
That the ftflowing Resolution adopted by
the Democraily of old Tioga, the bemocrat

"Resotvcai Thath we approve of the pres ,

Jail, Fire-proof, and Court-house, the sum
of Five hundred and seventy dollars and
tOnty-five cents. No items are given, but
the above sum in round numbers, has been
paid out of the people's money, charged
to the County, and, credited to those whom

In the, first place, then, rhe war is ended.
This is a "fixed fact." My informant assures
me that he heard Cot. Tiviggs say, the day
before he left Mammoras '
that in his opin
ion there would be no trioe fighting ; that
the enemy could not in' twelve months raise
an army sufficiently strong to meet that •un
der Gen. Taylor. He Elise said the arrival
of Santa: Anna at - Yera Ofuz was regarded
by Gen. Taylor asfavorable to peace, as al
most all the Mexcans (thesb heae too) regaril
Santa Anna as almost a demi-god, and he
has said that the war must be brought to it
speedyclose,as nothing , bui disaster and de
