Gazette, thrtt Mr. Web-Btor won mot at thu cur landing by Benjamin Matthias Kiq., and eseortt'd to tho elcffanl uitnsinn of Charles Koom, E-iq,, the owner of Vullcy Forge, whom, during tho day, ovory Attention mtd civility and comfort woro extended to the guests and strange rg. Mr. Webster was escorted to the ground about half past and alighted at the entrance of the grove, walked to tho stand between two tripple rows of bountiful young ladies, numbering about (KM); these then took the seats provided for them in front of the principal stand the gentlemen standing outside of them, until at least 5000 had Lukeu places in front of ; the platform. Just before Mr. Webster reached the stand, the Philadelphia Choir of Clay Minntrcls from this city, under tho direction of J. Price Wetlmrill.Kaq., sntijj the 'Convention Smiir,' and 'Lint t" to tho Ponplc's Cry in thotr tinrjvuJJcfl style of excellence; and du-rinir tho day at tho request of tho ladies, who mined heartily in tho chorus, they sung 'We're the Girls of ltilO,' and about twenty other LI ay Melodies, winch cue iten tremendous applause Tho President of thu Day ihon opened tho meeting in a short, hut very appropriate speech, and read a letter from Ex -Governor Itilnor, in which he poin ted out tho important bearing of the oiiHiiing Gubernatorial election, upon tho Presidential contest in November. Ho then introduced the Ilun. Daniel Webster, who spoke as follows: HPKKCII. There if, ladies and gentlemen, a mighty power in focal ansociuiinns! All acknowledge it, and alt feel it! Those places naturally inspire us with emo tion which in tho courso ot human history have been connected with great and interesting events; snd this power over all ingenious minds never coasrs, until frequent visits familiarise thu mind to those scenes. There are in this vast multitude many who. like myself, nover before stood on the spot where the Wing Army of tho Revolution, under tho immediate command ot their iminortul lender, went through the privatioiiK, tho millerinu", and tho distress of the winters ot YHi ami i no mention oi wnsti- ington the standing on the ground of his encampment tho act of looking around on the nam nil scene which he and his otlkers and soldiers thru occupied and beheld, natural ly carries us back to the scenes of the Revolution, and to one of its most distressing and darkest periods! In September tho battle of Brandywino had been fought; in October, that of Gcrumulown; and in Christmas, a little before the severity of winter set in, Gonoral Washington repaired hero, and put his army into huts for tho winter. Ho hud selected the npot with groat care, for the protection of his army, with as great judgment for tho protection of as large a portion of the country as he could the British trooM being then in poseMion of Philadelphia. Wo see, then, tho Whigchief of the Whig Army of the Revolution!, as it were, before us! We look buck, and see him surrounded by his military friends, distinguished not less for their social virtues than for their bravery in the held ! Anthony Wayne was there that grout and good trinit! His bones your county holds! (Hero Mr. Webster's voice faltered considerably.) Green was here and Knox snd Hamilton! And at that anxious moment, in order to keep alive tho connexion between the civil authority and the army (for bo it remembered now and st all times, that Washington and his army always acted in submission to the civil authority,) a Committee of Congress was here Dana of Massachusetts, Gouveneur Morris, and that worthy gentle-innn who wan afterwards Governor of your Commonwealth, Mr. Heed ! And now, gentlemen, I could not depict, I could not describe, I could not (rust my own feelings in attniimtinir to describe tho horrible sut.eririu'rt of that Whig Army! Destituto of clothing, destitute of provisions destitute of every fnirtg out mtxr trust in (lot, awl faith in I heir immortal tea ler, thki wktt Tiiaouuii that wi.itkh! Kurosever.il ladies shed teirs.) And the grounds now arround us, particularly tho grounds contiguous to tho Hospital are rich in lluvoliitiouary dust! 10 very excavutioii, as often as the season returns produces the bones of Revolutionary oificcrs and soldiers who perished by dis-onse brought on by want of food, want of clothing, want of every thing but tliat ban mil em sympathy und coininisserntion for sufferings which he could not alleviate, that filled tho bleeding heart of their illustrious leader! And, long after pence went by, General Wnhington dec In red, at his own table, tb.it it was no exaggeration it was literal truth that the march of the army from Whilemarsh to take up their quarters at this place, could be tracked by tho blood on the snow from thu unshod feet of Revolutionary , soldiers! I Now, therefore, the associations of this placo can-1 not be passed by without impresnivo consideration , and deep and solemn rcllection! And when wo, as Whigs professing the principles of that great Whig, leader and that Whig army, come hero to advocate and avow theso principles to one another and when wo professing to excrciso our power, transmitted to! us by them, for tho security of thtt liberty which I they fought to establish, Jet us bring ourselves to1 fuel in harmony with tho scenes of the pust. I,et us endeavor to sober and solcinuixoourminds! For, I if I have any apprehension of tho condition of things under which we havo met here, it M a condition of things that should sober and solemmio our minds ! I feel, and all should feel, that there is an impending calamity before us! And if wo would avert that impending calamity, it is only to be done by a serious and manly course! And by the blood of our fathers which cries to us from (his hsllowed I ground by tho memory of their many virtues and : brilliant nchiuveni"nts by the sad story of their terrible intense suffering by the blessings of that blood-bought inheritance of liberty which they suffered and died to obtain for us, wo are called upon to perform the important duty that lies before us in the present crisis to perform that duty fearlessly1 to perforin it promptly, and to porlurin it effectually! (Cheers.) j It is under this feeling, my friends, that I chiio here to-day; and it is under this fueling, that I intend to speak plainly and manfully, as man should Sw)ak to man, on the important duties which aro incumbent on us all. (Cheers.) We aro on the eve of a general election, in which the pcoplo am to clioonu a President and Vice President of Uie V uited .Slates. It is tho grunt action of man in carrying on his own plan ol government! lint tho circumstances connected with this election render it peculiarly imereMting, and of more importance than any Presidential election has ever been ! Tliuro aro two candidates in the field Mr. Clay of Kentucky, and Mr. Polk of Tennessee. Muill peak of them both with tho respect to which their character and position entitle them; and at the same time with that freedom and candor which ought to bo observed in discussing tho merits of public men, especially those who are candidates fur the highest Hi cos in the gift of tho people, Mr. Clay has been before tho country for a long period nearly forty years ovor thirty years he lias taken a leading and highly important part in the pub lie affairs of this country he is acknowledged to be a man of singular and almost universal talent ho bus had great experience in tho administration of almost all our public a flairs ho has served for many years with wonderful judgment and ability, in both Houses of Congress of one of which he has performed tho arduous and difficult duties of its presiding officer, with unexampled skill and satisfaction ; ho has performed most important acrvicoa to his country of a dipolomatic character, as the representative of this government in Kurupo, at one of the inosttmng periods of its history, and most ably conducted to a satisfactory conclusion a very delicate anil troublesome iiegotittmn he has exercised the duties of the Department of Stale with consummate and unexampled ability. Ho is a man of frankness and honorof unquestioned talent and ability, and a man of noble and generous bearing I Repeated and enthusiastic cheering frequently inter-1 mptd Mr. Webster during the above remarks on Mr. Clay, and continued for somo minutes. Mr. Polk is a much younger man than Mr. Clny. lie is a very respectable man in privato life he has been in Congress was once HHaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, and once Governor of tho Stale of Tennesnoc. laughter. Such are the candidates before tht country for its choice; and it will not be invidious to say that in point of character and talent, and standing before the country and the world, there is no sort ol comparison between the two men. (Cheers.) It is fur the people to choose between them. And if they prefer one who is secondary to one who is first rate, such preference can only be ascribed to one or two causes, if they prefer Mr. Polk to Mr. Clay, it will he either because no strong is party attachment that they will vote for any man that may be nominated by their party, independent of any other considerations whatever; or it will be because his measures, principles and opinions are such as they npprove; whilst the measures, principles and opinions of Mr. Clay nre such us they do not approve I suppose that tho existence of parlies in a republican government cannot bo avoided; and to a certain extent perhaps the existence of parties may exercise a wholesome, restraining and necessary influence upon the rulers under such form of government. Hut I still think that, when party spirit curries men so fur, that they will not inquue into the men ani measures that aro placed before tliom for their sanction and support, but will only inquire into what party they belong that is a state of things which is dangerous to the stability the perpetuity of a free government (Clioers.) It has been said that party is tho madness of many for tho gain of a few. Ami this is true. Because of ull inventions dangerous to liberty of all inventions calculated to subvert free institutions and popular forms of Government of nil inventions calcula ted to supply a bondage to bind the eyes of man, the invention of party and party spirit, is the most effectual. And I will nk you all to talk to your neighbors to reason with them to ask ihern the question and you will find when you come to bring them to it, thut they purpose giving their votes to Mr. Polk, because Mr. Polk is of their party, and Mr. Clay is of the other party. (Cheers und cries of "That's too true.") Because you will find it true when you como to ask them, if many who propose to vote for Mr. Polk do not desire to see all his policy defeated. This is very evident, bccnuBo wo find men, ninny of the leading men of our opponent's party, und many of them connected with the public press, have publicly expressed themselves dissatisfied with the nomination nnd they have issued their manifestoes to that effect, wherein they advise the people to do as they intend to do, that is, support Mr. Polk for the Presidency, hut support those nie'i for members of Congress that will defeat his policy. (Laughter and cheers.) Now, I do not supK)so that our free Government could long be supported by such a miserable, crooked policy as this. (Cheers.) To elect Mr. Polk to the office of Chief Magistrate of this country, anil at tho same time to give him u Congress that shall defeat his policy. (Laughter and cl cent.) To elect him to an office, wherein he is to bo the guardian of the whole people un office that has ben tilled by Washington and un ollico that wo had hoped always to see rilled by men of Washington's principles, if not of his virtues to select and electa man to fill this oflice, and ihen to put him undes guardianship in order to defeat his measures. (Roars of laughter and much oppluuse.) Tho case is a solemn one. It addresses itself to the conscience of every man, to see that he does not support, in any way, a man as candidate for the Presidency whoso whole courso of policy and opinions ho is utterly opposed to. And it comes to this: is there such a sense of the great duty which they owe t) their fellow men, to their children, and to generations yet unborn such a sense of the necessity of preserving unimpaired ihc benefits and efficiency of our free, our noble institution-) such a sense of the deep responsibility that rests on them at this important crisis such a sense of patriotism and integrity, that men will prefer their country to their party in the coining content, or not? (Ijoud cheers, and cries of "there is, Mr. Webster, there is.") I believe it. (Cheers.) And to lake the other hypothesis, if those who veto fur Mr. Polk do not do it under the stimulus of party feeling, then it must be that they vote for him becuiise they aro opposed to Mr. ('lay's principles. They may be supposed to sny, uIt is true that Mr. Clay is the most distinguitdi-cd son of America, it is true that he has rendered infinitely more iniorlant services to his country than Mr. Polk it is true that the country regards him with far more favor than his opponent still his measures and principles, ns he has avowed them, incline us to elect an inferior man, because we like the principles of the latter belter, and believe that they will ho more beneficial to the country," (laughter.) Very we!l. If thut cose bo made out, then you and I, and all Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, arc bound to take Mr. Polk. (Laughter.) Because, if wo suppose and bcilcTti Uiat lim (.'.no,.!.. MMil his measures will support our principles and our interests, and the interests of the country, and that Mr. C lav's principles and measures will not support our principles and our interests and tho interests of tho country, then wo arc bound to tike the second best. (Laughter, and shouts of "hear.") And this leads us directly to the inquiry, what are the measures, principles and opinions of the one and of the other, as submitted to tho consideration and judgment of the American people. Now, gentlemen, there would tc a slop to ull republican government a dead hall made by those who desire to see the prosperity of freo institutions if wo wero to give up this lirst great principle; that electors are inquisitive enough to dciro to know thonpiuiotis and sentiments ol those whom they may elect to rule over them intelligence enough lobe cnahlod thoroughly lo analyse those opinions and those sentiments and then talent and candor enough to make the projHir application of the knowledge thus acquired. If this great principle be given up, then thu substratum of popular governments falls to the ground. (Cheers.) I believe that there is intelligence enough to do this, and integrity enough o chiHise thoso whose principles are best calculated to effect tho great objects which we all have in view. (Cheers.) There are two loading questions for our consideration in the very important contest before us. One is the protective system. This subject has been so ably and thoroughly discussed heforu you by men much more able to do so than I am, that it is not necessary I should dwell upon it here. It is a favorite measuro with you with us at home and with all of our party. We deem it a most necessary measure one that cannot under any circumstances bo dispensed with as being nccesitary to tho comfort necessary to the happiness the prosperity of all and vitally necessary lo the support and security of our institutions. Much cheering. This brings us at once lolhe inquiry, w hat are the opinions winch these two candidates hold upon this protective question; and it leads us lirst to ask what are Mr. Polk's sentiments thereon. This is easily answered. It is notorious, that when Mr. Polk was nominated, it was on account of his direct hostility to the Tariff of JHli I had supocd that there was not a mm in thu Union not a man who could rend A newnpuper, or wus possessed of ordinary intelligence, who did not understand it who did not know who was not morally certain that Mr. Polk was put forth as a stong uncompromising Anti-Tariff man a warm friend and advttcate of Free Trade! And that he was put forth by his party on tlioso very grounds to run against Mr. Cloy! Thu tin off was not diiruied with us. All Ins adherents in Massachusetts, Now Hampshire, mid Maine avowed that be was a strong ant i Tariff man, and declared that on that very ground they would go for him. But in courso of tune his friends found that his doctrine was not popular in some parts of the Union, and they thervforo resolved that he should como to us not in his truo but in an assumed garb. And that he, who was the steady, regular, original enemy to protection, slmuld bo dressed and undressed, ami undressed and dressed again, and exhibited in his now garment us a protectionist (Shouts of laughter, in which tho ladies joined.) 1 do not think that he would still possess after don-nin? his new and for him extraordinary garments I think that he would not have that continuity of ideas which philosophers say constitutes "personal identity.' (Shouts ol laughter.) And indeed as far as I know anytihng of Mr. Polk, I don't believe that he'd consent to submit to any such degradation I do not belirvo that ho would for a moment lend himielf to the perpetration of such a deception! I believe ho'd scorn it! And if he were here to day, and tho question were lo be put to him to be sure he'd look sober; and be wi.uld not like to make any answer-but if ho was put to it, to speak or not, under tho penalty of forfeiting the good opinion of all men, lie would say directly and Initially, i am opped to protection I camo into public life opposed loit all my votes, speochis and public acts have been in di rect h.Mliliiy to it my sentiinciits have undorgono no change up to this hour in regard lo it and I expect to remain an uncompromising enemy to it, till the day I die." (Cheers and laughter.) This is strong language but is not stronger than Mr. Polk used in slating his views lust year, in tho general discussion and controversy with Mr. Jones, in Tminosseo, when they were rival candidates foi the utliLO of Governor of that State. Tcuiichsc had been strung anti-tariff Stale; sho had followed closely the lead ot South Carolina on this subject. But the sentiment of the people had undergone a change; several of tho most eminent men in tho State thought thut the tariff operated beneficially even to Ten no moo, and woro satisfied that it immensely benefitted tho whole country, and with true patriotism abandoned all sectional prejudices for tho general welfare. Cheers. Mr. Polk remained on the old COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1844. NUMBER 12. anli-tariffground. He proposed to Mr. Jones that they should write letters to the people explaining their respective opinions, and fully discuss the great miestion in their approaching contest; and it is no torious that the contest was strictly tariff and anli-tariff; and in which Mr. Polk came off second best. Laughter and cheer. 1 This is also rendered clear and possitive by the occurrences at the Baltimore Convention, where Mr. Polk was nominated, and Mr. Van Buren defeated. Mr. Van Buren was not much of a tail) man, nor much of an anti-tariff man; he was not much of a pro-sluvery man, nor much of an anti-slavery man, nor much ofadecided man on anything or any ques tion. Roars of laughter. He wns not much for Texas, mid he was not much against Texas. Laughter. He wns not Hgainst the tariff, nor pledged up to his knees for Texas! How did he fare? He had a majority of the voles in the Convention, and was therefore put under the ban of the two-third rule; he could not get two-thirds of the votes, and after a course of proceeding which it would not become me to characterise in appropriate terms here, he was de- mated, auu Air. folk was chosen, the thorough anti Tariff" and pro-Texas man! This is all true. It is not more free that Washington and his army were here, and that the battles of Brundywine and Germnnlown were fought, than that Mr. Polk was brought forwurd because he whs anti-Tariff. Cheers. And if it had not been for his opposition to the laritt, and Ins advocacy ot the Annexation of Texas, ive should never have heard any more of James K. Polk, of Tennessee! Shouts of I a u k liter and cheers.! And yet I have seen ban ners Hooting in the air, in this intelligent county of theater banners flouting in the air, on which aro inscribed, "Polk and Dallas. And tub Tahifp ok 1H4Q!!!" Roars of laughter followed this, which lasted some iniuutee. Why, is there no shame in men3 Mr. Polk openly avows thut he is fur reducing the duties on all imported goods lo the level of the Compromise Actio !i0 per cent on everything. He says, "Down with the Tariff!' Ami his friends here say, "Polk and the.Tarill' forever!" Lauyhterund cheos. Is there no shame in men? Or do they suppose that they win dc enabled to put such a veil ot blindness over men's eyes, so that, if tho cry be right, they will tukc the leap, leud whero it may? If men could be led by such means if they could be deceived bv such u miserable joggle as this, I should despair of uic iraciit;iiiiiiiy ui pojmmr govuninfi'ius; ll a mail can thus stifle thu warning voice of his conscience, if he cuu throw usiilc his integrity and patriotifin if he can forget the duty he owes to himself, his family, his country and his God, for such a shallow device as this, how can he be worthy of being a citizen of this great, free und happy country? Tremendous cheering. It becomes our duty then to expose, in every way and every where, this infamous juggle let us put it down, ond put it down at once and forever! Let us dcclure it a fraud and a cheat! I declare it u fraud and a cheat; and if my voice could beheaid through out the whole of this country, I would say thut who ever lie is it lie uc a man ol common information and common knowledge, and come to an elector of this or any other Slate, and say that Mr. Polk is in favor of the Tariff, thut ho means to cheat and defraud that elector out of the proper exercise of the elcctivu frunchise! Cheers J And after he has got him to go for Mr. Polk, hu will turn his back on Imn and say, "what intolerable gulls the itoplt ore!" Shouts of laughter and cheers. If this were not so serious a matter, it would ho supremely ridiculous. But it is so serious a thing that it excites our deepest indignation. That men should try to get the honest votes of an honest community, for the support of men and (or measures which they know that honest community do not de sire. Cheers. Wo owe it, therefore, us a duty to our neighbors, to go among them and explain this whole matter to lliem, und lo undeceive them; and to read Mr. Polk's declarations lo them. Cheers. We owe it to them as a sacred duty we owe it to them as we are all embarked in thu same bottom eheersi if they go down wo shall go down with them cheers we ruu'l be happy whilst they arc unhap py. Cheer. r or reason, unit philosophy, and experience, and common sense, all teach (hat one noriiou of the community cannot prosper at Ihc expense of another portion. Cheers. Lot us by every exertion noSKible. by the use of calm, sober reasonunr. nuil lair argument, bring our neighbors who are ol opposite opinions to ours, to see things in their proper light; and to induce them to give their support to those who are their friends and th friends of the policy they desire to sec perpetuated. 1 ahull nut go into a discussion of the Turiff here. It is well uuderstmid in this section id' the country at I oust. And there would not bo tho slightest doubt in my mind of tho result of the coming election in renusylvama, ll the people could ho mude lo under stand what the issue really is. (Cheers.) The Ta riff policy is toiintled on this; wo have vast resour ces ot natural wealth; tiy lhis,i properly protected and its a natural consequence properly und fully developed we have the means id' building up oilier vast sources of woulth, winch will coiiiributenoi to the emol ument of a tew, us has been fulsely asserted, but to prosperity and lusting happiness of every class in the community, (Tremendous cheers.) We are in a situation thut does not requiro us all to be farmers, or all lawyers, or all mechanics. There must necessarily be another class, that of manufacturers and operative. And a system which shall create a demand fur labor which shall amply remunerate that labor which shall create such wholesome demand for agricultural products, us to properly compensate (he tiller of the ground for his toil, such u system which would enable the fanners to raise up their fine families (those families which are ttnilormily the pride and boust of the country) in comfort and happiness, und enable them to prosper and preserve all that is dear to them in the world Such a system ought to be pursued, and no other. iMia cheering.) 1 am addressing here, I suppose, an assembly, a large majority of whom are engaged in agricultural pursuit. And I put it to the farmer to Bay how dues the Tariff affect him! There arc many tulsc prophets going to and fro in thelund, w ho declare that the lorilt benehis only tho manufacturer, and that it injures the farmer. This is all wioug. Every farmer must see th.it it must be his interest to find a fienr purchaser for his produce to find a rtwlfj purchaser, ami a purchaser at a good price. (Cheers, and cries of "coilaiuly.") Now, the Tariff ppose that it there be domestic manufactures curried on successfully, there will inevitably be those engaged therein, lo cotisiiino a largo amount of agricultural products, who do not raise any. (Cheore.) A line class Is consumers for tho farmer's commodities an tnmgr class of consumers! (Cheers.) Now if that general rule he false, then our policy is false, liul it that genera rule be true, then our policy is true. (Cheers.) If it be for the interest ot I he Chester farmer, that there should be many consumers, that the number should be lurgely increased of those who do not raise agricultural pro ducts, then our policy is true; and if it be not for the interest, but lor the injury of the Chester liirmer, that tho number of those who consume but do not r.uitv agricultural products, should be increased, then utir policy is lube, (Cheers.) To illustrate lhis,l will here state on estimate that has been mude with very great euro by a very intelligent writer a menu ot minc--inwinwe judgment have (he highest confidence.- This cstimato show the exuel state of things in this country in connexion with the subjects before us. And before I go into it, allow mo to say that the great wealth, i the great happiness of tho country, consists in tho interchange of domestic commodities. ! In illustrating this point, let us take (be article of bread stuffs. What do you do with it? Who con-1 mimes it? Whut becomes nf it ? You icnd your (lour to Philadelphia, New Vuik, nnd Baltimore, but where does it go liom there? Thero must bean ul-1 timato consumer. There must be a lust man into: whose hand the barrel must go before the hoops are knocked off. And where is he to be found? Why the great consumption of wheat flour in this country is in the east, where the great manufacturing interest nie carried on! And in the district whero lanro and extensivo mining operations aro successfully progressing, and where the workers in wool, and workers in cutton, ami workers in iron nnd the various metals congregate. These are tho classes who are the great and profitable consumers of tho farmer's products, whilst they never compete with him in producing any. .neers.) The amount of cotton imparled into New Rutland is very large, hut the amount of bread stuffs imported into New Kngland is still larger. Massachusetts raises only about 10,000 bushels of wheat in a year; this would not feed tho mouths of the operatives of Lowell alone; and we havo a great many other mouths, oeaides incsu to nil up. (lauphler.) Mr. M'Duffie thought Massachusetts a poor country, because she did not raise enough food to supply her nwn inhabitants; when the commerco of the port of U-wttun alone amounts to moro than all tho produc tions (here the none and talking on the stand was no loud as to drown the remainder of tho sentence. But the people ot MussucuuaclU consume ul impor ted flour, GCO.tOO burrels annually. The balanco of 480,000 comes from the other States. But here is the extract I have before referred to: "Bread stuffs are a more valuable import in New England than cotton. Of flour, (wheat) wo do not raise, in MimarhmtUn, over 120,000 bushels of wheat, equal to 21,000 barrels ot Hour, about enough for the Loivtlt ojwratives. The balance coiiicb from Slate out of New England. I should say we consumed, at, least, fX)0,000 barrels of imported wheat flour, and a largo amount of maize, rye, and oats. Maine may raise one half its wheat, but imports a large quantity of maize, oats, and rye; and New Humpshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, still more. Of sugar, we do not take any great quantity of Louisiana. It goes more to the Middle, but chiuf-ly to the Western States. Of tobacco, wo are, in New England, large consumers; and our ships lo Africa, and the Lust, find a market for large quantities, in small parcels. Of naval stores, we, of course, consume immensely; for, in Massachusetts, we have .ViO.OOO tons of shipping, nnd in Maine, about IJoO,-000 more; and in New Kngland, the whole, about 10"0,0C0. We distil a large quantity of turpentine for exportation to all ports of the world. There is no population m the world, save in London, which have a greater consuming ability for the necessaries, comfoits, and most of the luxuries of lifo, than the 800,000 people of Massachusetts; consequently there is no population so advantageous to trade with. The Middle, and Southern, and Western States hove laid preat stress on the Zoll Vcrein treaty, on account nf reductions in duties, which would not augment the sales of tobacco, cotton, &c, to the extent of (500,000. Now, tho commerce which those sections havo with Massachusetts which Mr. McDuffic ranks as one of the poor States, because wo have but few exports for foreign countries 1 say, the commerce which theso sections, viz. South, and West, and Middle, have with Massachusetts, is of mure value, and greater magnitude, than all the products of those sections sold the whole population of Germany, and 1 will add lo them, Russia, Sweden and Denmark. What may be the amount of hnpoils into Massachusetts from these sections, I cannot ascertain; but of gram of all kinds, it cannot be less, at average prices of the past five years, than $7,000,000; of cotton, 1K0.000 bales, at per bale, average of live years, ili.MO.OOO making $;!;t:0,0;0 for those two staples. On reference to the returns of Iti-P-i the last published I find the domestic exports to the countries in question, as follows: llanso Towns, U1HU.!r!l.l Russiu, ;Uii.)riii Prussia, M!,l 11 Sweden, and Swedish West Indies, oNH,ti7r Denmark and the Danish West Indies, tii2,5l't Add to Trieste, $7-IH,I7, f$5 5 11,480 7-ld,17D Commercially speaking, if this portion of the European population, amounting toot leust 1:20,000,000, wero to suspend their intercourse with tho United Slutes, it would be less detrimental lo thu States out of New England, than a cessation of intercourse w ith the poor State, as siio is termed by many Southern men Massachusetts, with Iter population of 00,000, (lust census 7:17,000) and increasing, in spite of the great density of her population, at the rule of about Id per cent, in ten years. As to die oilier five New England States, I suppose the aggregate of their transactions with Stales out of New England may not equal the amount of Massachusetts transactions. This difference results from the nature of our products, and the superior uinuunt of our capital, which ptr capita, is greuter ihuu ex.sta in any other Stale, mid four times as great a in a majority of tho States. Of course, such estimates are, in some measure, conjectural, und partly bused on facts which are before the coun try. There never wns a traffic carried on in a country. more advantageous from its magnitude and its character, than the intcrchuugo of products between icr England and the other States. We are lame consumers. Wo pay cash for all we buy, and in good money ; while wo sell on credit, and havo lost by bail debts, south of the Hudson, within twenty years, more wealth than some of tlie cotton Slates, who cull us poor, are now possessed of.' Now, the question is, docs not this illustrate the true policy of the country? To build up inieresls Hint Bfmll contribute lw th homUhy miitpi.tymttiu ami mutual huppiuess of each clus, and thus benefit equally the whole community ? And with this, knowing us I do thut tho whole sentiments nf the people of Pennsylvania aro in favor of the protective system, I leuvo tho subject. (Cheers.) INow, there is another and veiy important subiect that I desire briefly to speak of. We ure trying the great experiment of the success of popular government Whether all these sevi nteen millions of peo ple shall exercise so much intelligence, inteerity, virtue and patriotism, as shall secure to this great country forever the blessings of a free, enlightened, liberal and popular government! Checrs. In the lirst place, we have laid at its base a Luiiblilution I had almost said, and may say, a miraculous Con stitution, when we take into view all Ihc circumstances connected with its origin and maturity a Constitution unequalled in its scope and design, its construction and its effect, which secure ihc lull en joyment of ull human rights alike to every one. loud cheers.) We arc bound ny a solemn duty to seo that among the candidates for the hih otliccs in the gill ol a tree pcoplo that wo give our votes to such us venerate thai Constitution, and to none other, ('beers. Tho principles of our government are liberty and equality established liw law and order security for public liberty and privato right a general system of education, liberally diffused the free exercise of every religious creed and opinion-brotherly love and harmony! litis hist being consid ered peculiarly the characteristic of a happy people, i- r l . r tm i i. : .

All these call on us with a sense ct deep responsi bility, whenever the time arrive for us to irivo our suffrage to the candidates for the high ollices of our respective States and commoticounlry. Cheer. , Another suhiecl for vour serious consideration at this time, is the annexation of another large Territory to the twenty-six we already possess! I havo seen the dismemberment of Texas I rem Mexico with much hope ; she sprung into existence of a sudden, perhaps prematurely but she seemed competent to sustain herself in her position and you, and I, and all witdied her well, for we wished to tec the ad vancement of human liberty! Cheers. For men who set up a Government alter the plan of our own, and sincerely tako our Washington for a model, aro always entitled lo our regard ! Loud cheers. But, whatever may be our feeling and desires in relation to Texas, wo must not tako such a vast extent of Territory into our Union, without looking a little in to thu interim) condition of things there, and to tho institutions of that country! Cries of "good." And it has alwayi appeared to me that the slavery of the b lucks, and the unavoidable increase both of the numbers of lhcu slaves and duration of their slavery this has always appeared to me nn insuperable objection lo iis annexation. Cheers. For I will never do any thing, now, or at any time, that shall Itml to Maintain the slavery of thr )frican nice on this Continent! Cheers. Now, our opponent is in favor ot iiiimcdialo annexation at am. has-aros! at all iiAXARiis! And tho Secretary of State says, in the correspondence transmitted "with tho Treaty to the Senato af the United States, that the United States are ready to tako all tho respon sibility of annexing it immediately; because, he says, thu annexation of Texas is necessary to preserve tho Domestic Institutions of tho two countries; that is, to proscrve slavery in the United States, and to preserva slavery in 1 exos. j o sccuro Una, tho United States will take all responsibility. Now, slavery in this country, stands where the Constitution left it. Cheers. I took an oath to supH)rt the Constitution, and 1 mean to abide by it. I shall do nothing to carry it ncyomt the uist bounds of tho States. 1 shall do nothing to interfere with the domestic institutions ul the South ; and the government of tho United States have no right to interfere therewith.

(Cheers.) i lie day must be regarded as a serious and sober one! the times are serious and sober the occasion is serious and sober, i he result of the next elec tion will give a lone lo the government and to the whole country tor many years to come. It will de cide whether wo arc to keep on the Government a it has been since the duys ol Washington, or whether wu are to shoot athwart the sky and go off into some unknown region of political darkness. Cheers. And there is no mau who possesses so much or so nine power no man so elevated or so humble, as to bo excused from exerting all the powers he does possess lo bring about the desired result! Cheers. Becuuse there is no man so high in station or prosperity no man so secure in life, or the possession of this world's goods no man so entrenched in every way, as to imagine himself proof, against fortune of fate as not to be in danger from the effects of that disastrous course of policy which will be pursued should our adversaries come into power.

On Ihe Id of Jantinry, 183!), In presenting a petition from Dr. E.

More than 20 years ago, in a speech delivered in the House ol Representatives, March 30 und 31, 1812; in favor of protecting American Industry and in reply to at assault made by Mr. Harbour, of Virginia, on iho Catholic religion, Mr. CLAY made the following remark: "I think the honorable gentleman from Virginia Mr. Flar. bourl docs great injustice to die Caihelie religion, in specifying that as one of the leadiuir cause, of the dee I ine nf Moaui. ll is a religion cnlilli'd lo great respecl; and there is iiuthmg in ilsrhiinirler incompatible with the highest degree of national prntpcrily.

Their prayers were offered up lo the same Redeemer, whose interrcsion we ei-peeled to save us. Tint whs there any thing in the Catholic Religion unfavorable lo freedom. All religions united with government were more or less inimirat In lilierlv AH separated from government were compatible with liberty."

And w hy not f Itccauie they can find no evidence ol the fact in hit w riting, his speeches or his votes, half so strong as thai adduced in vindication of Mr. Clay! I ney have tortured an expression made by Mr. Clay against allowing A li KN8 to lake possession of our public lands, into evidence of hostility lo naturalized citizens. He made no allusion whatever to naturalized citizens. His rcmaik applied only lo those who were cot citizens of this government and ltd nol design lo become such; but who would avail Uicin selves of the lilierality of die government, lo enrich themselves io the exclusion of those who were citizens and who might seek a home here.

"flovernor Shannon writes that he arrived at lite city of Mexico Aug. 24 that the country is in a troubled slate, and event thing thows what a military dnpotiem does to ttivart tihertu, equal right and the tuippinei of the people. Murders, robberies and plunder are of hourly occurrence, and no American U tafe in that land of tyranny ami crime." We extract from iho Ohio Statesman Iha above from a communication said lo be from Mr Shannon our minister at Mexico but we doubt its aitlhcnlirily. We were disposed to have more eon6deitce iu the prudence and Judgment of Mr. Shannon, and can hardly brieve lie would in his very Itrst communication after his arrival at Mexico, thus render himself so odious lo the officers of that government. Such sentiments concerning a friendly power publicly announced through Ihe length and breadth ol tins country, are calculated to destroy all his influence at a minister to that court, nnd it liould be requested lo leave Ihe country. Whatever his private opinions may be, il is altogether unjustifiable in his present delicate position to give such opin-iout publicity, and wo should nol he disappointed if the Pres-ident on teeing this article, and believing in ill authenticity, would immediately recdl him it nlacuur our minister in a position at lhat court in which tie could no longer be of any use lo us. Indeed, such is the severity with which Mr Nho. lion hot expressed himself in regard to that government lh.it he musl necessarily le considered there ralner at the spy of an enemy, than the courteous minister from a friendly nation. s r imi mere is some mistake about Uus matter, and lhat Mr. Shannon for whom we have some personal reran), hn nol thus early so gro.y committed himself. W know th.it ihe editor of the paper from which we have extracted iha above paragraph, oitdjsnndry kindred spirits of this slate, havo for same time looked wuh a jealous eye toward this gentle. man and may they nut now have forged ibis document for ihe Sl.Clairsvillr Uaseite and taken this mode of prejudicing .... . .iMfliuiuw m inu uiiiic opinion. (J, ' linnnilrtira o hirtherf The Ohio Siairsman of last evcntna. cakulalimr Inm Iv we should think on tho ignorance and lulahilii of ila readers publishes the following from Iho Athann Argus ; " The lietrmt Free frets of Saturday last pronounces ihe alleged nominnlHMi ot James li.

And it also gives the lie to Mr. IliMNir himself, as will 1 seen hy the following extract frnm hit Idler of Oct. 10, pui. tithed in tht samt Statesman Containing tht abvvi from tht "Although I have hern nominated hy my riemorralie nriehlioro, no one in Ihe country would have iiwIim. t ... as ol dial parly had not the cue been given by the wire work-en of the whig party." Here it an avowal of the coalition by Mr. Birnev himrir and a demmriaihtn of the Whigs for exposing it t The ex-pose" spoken of by the Argus as emanating from " ibe He morrais of Saginaw," is an attempt lo repudiate Ibe nomination, fearing its effeci abroad, ami ia therefore a trick " dr. sigced to rover up a fraud upoa the Ltlirrty parly hy which ihey sere lo be transferred to Locofocoism and ibe Texan candidate.
