We ehanre that the same party do not intpnd to redeem their pledges of giving good banks lo Unpeople ;and the best evidenre of the Iruihofthi' consists in ihe fact that they now treat the ub j. ct with Ihe most perlect silence Lau. Gaz EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF. T. J. Stevenson, Esq. of Boston, in his late speech at Gloucester, alluding to the present Tariff, said that upon iis passage in 184'2, the annual value of Russian imports, principally manufactures, was $y,0(K),0()0. Since its passage it had been much reduced. Before Ihe 1 Tariff, Russia sheeting had been sold in this country for ijvS a piece. It w as used for shoe-l.nging, and purchased only by the American shoe manufactures. Of ihis some forty or fifty cents went to the American importer, but fiic remaining $7 00 iffnl abroad to pay the Russian merchant, manufacture, and peasant, nr rather Iris lord. Under the present Tariff, an equally good article can be procured for $3 or $4; and every cent remains at home for the benefit of the American merchant, manufac- t urer and operative,' instead of going into the Dockets of foreigners. And the advantage is mutual, enabling those to to whom this mon ey is paid to buy more ot each other. ,-. ! , t . . MYTOH, SEPT. 21. ESfl. From the Pouiihpeepsie Journal. Fuels For Irlixhmiiiw. In the years when the rale ot duties upon all imported articles ranged at twenty per cent , it is well known Hint not only Ihe foreign importations so far exceeded (he exports as to create a ruinous balance of trade aiiuiust us, but that owing lo the low duties, in addition lo the usual loreign goods brought in, large quantities of arti cles made by mechanical hibiir began also In he imported, and that kind ol business was incrett. iug so inpidly that, had it not been stopped by Ihe Tariff ol I HI'.', it would seem In hav e proved a vast injury, if not utterly ruinous, to a large pul l ion ol American mechanics. Hardly a ship came from England Hint did not bring will) a portion oilier cargo a large quantity ol Loudon mude Hals; French cabinet liirnilure hegan also lo come almost by Ihe cargo; but among the cliiel mechanicalarticles were French Louis and shoes and ready nini'e- clothing. All who had occasion to visit our Inrzecilies in those times coulfl see in every quarter signs up. showing shops Idled with French boots andshnes; and the ready made clothing brought from Lon don could nimust be found as cosily. Bui we wish locnll Ihe attention of shueiuaki-rs and tai lors, especially the journi ynien, to two simple facts, wh ch we noticed pari icu'arly at the time. single ship Hint arrived in the spring of 1642. belore Ihe Whig tariff was passed, brought sixteen thousand pain of t'nris made boots and shoes, which were at once thrown intoour mar. keti. Jtwns nlso slated by Ihe city papers al about the same time, when orders were constant ly going to Fnglaiul for ready made clothing, thai, by the steamship Great Western, in one trip, there were sent measures lo London for twelve hundred full suits of c othes, to be made to aider for New York and Philadelphia. By the bouts and shoes brought ill the single enrgo here mentioned, American journeymen shoemakers were directly deprived of patronage to Ihe amount ol at least ,jir,ll(JU, anil mor probably of $.4,0111), all of winch was as much cash taken d'rectly froirl Iheir pockets- And in relerence to the clothes ordered in one tripbv the tireat Western, Ihe journeymen lailor.s, to say nothing ol their employers, were in like manner sufferers directly Irom their potkets in the loss of so niocb work to the amount of at least $5,1111(1 cash; for the making of the twelve buiidre.l coaU alone would have amounted lo f.'i,6.KI. Ah this, let. it be understood, wns lost to imcrican journeymen shoemakers and tailors in the two, instances, without relerence to the hundreds ol others of similar character, in Hie iinpor'atlon ol ready-made clothing, bats, cabinet furniture, &c to ti I lire shops in nur large cities Now, we wish tlmi our working men or Ml classes, innnyof whom doubt less still acting with the l.ocotoco parly, w-ould consider these facts well, and then, without reference to past prefer euces as to men, conclude deliberat ely, according lo the dictates ol their own sober judgment, which policy is best calculated to prouiole then-own interests and those of the country. One single fact like that of Ihe arrival of sixteen hun dred pair of r rencli boots anil shoes in oneenrgn, isw-orth more to eunhle them to reach a correel conclusion than all Ihe theory of Hie world. A journeyman ahoemaker or lailorvviien he finds he is dischaiged nod hinisel! ami tninily sobering through bis want of employment, and because the articles upon which he works nre made in Paris or London ul prices helovv which been possibly make a decent living, does not want to read ten column! about 'democracy,' 'poor men's rights,' and 'bank,' and soon, to understand bis position, lie sees at once, if he looks nL the subject without prejud'ce, lhal bulb bis interests nod bis rights nre sacrificed through the bad pol-f.ynftbe (Jovernnieiil, which allows foreigners to lake away his substnnce by depriving hiui ol the patronage to which be is entitled. The same rule applies to every branch ol industry. But, says n Locofoco demagogue anxious lo conceal the real issue Iron Ihe people, what tin all this to do with the Presidential question ? We answer t( ka every Viing to do wilh it, and upon Ihe settlement ol Uiat quallon will depend entirely the protection nf A rican industry.-. flenry (.'lay has nlwnvs been the steady advocaie of that system, nnd if he is elected it. will certain-1y be established during bis administration upon a basis so fit in that it can never again be shaken On Ihe other band,Jnines K Polk is, nnd always has been, an avowed opponent of protection and an advocate nf frki! tkadk, he is now supported at Ihe South solely upon that ground, ns all his pari v papers and meetings show; so thai it he is successlul the protective system will as certainly be put down. There is no disguising Ihi- issue, however much demagogues niny seek to mystify it. iet mechanics then choose which ol the two they consider as presenting Ihe best claims tn their support, it is lo .them n plain, business matter. the wriiliiLnNu Meeting, On Thursday last was a rouser S0,C;;0 or 3U,01H) in attendance. Messrs. Rives, Tor- rence, A. Stewart, and Summers addressed the multitude, with the happiest effect. The citv w as literally covered wilh (lags old Virginia moves on wo! (.m. t;az. GO TO WORK. We call upon every voter in the State and Union in the language of u ootemporary, who desires the success of the Whig cause, wishes to elect a President an: have the Government administered on Whig principles. Who is opposed to free trade, and the sub-Treasury, and who is in favor of distribution and a protective tariff. Wo call upon all of this stamp to GO TO WORK, AfTivELY, zealously, and above all, go to work C3-NOW!!! GO TO WORK and organize in every county, city, and town- slup, by the organization ot Liuy Uubs, and the appointment of rallying and vigilance committees. No cause ever yet triumphed with out thorough organization of its friends. Remember this! It is the hrst, the great step to success. GO TO WORK and circulate Whig tracts and papers which discuss fairly and ably the great questions at issue in the coming contest, falsehood and misrepresentations ore already in the field, and they must be followed close up with facts and truth. GO TO WORK and get up meetings and conventions, that you w ill be able to learn each other's views, consult, advise and become personally acquain ted. Yon can thus act unitedly, and united action can alone be efficient action. GO TO WORK and inculcate the necessity of harmony on all occasions and at all times that action with out union is vain and useless that every man must adopt and AL i U 1 UJN the motto " L'nion, harmony, ctmcession, self-denial; every THING FOU THE CAUSE, NOTHING FOR WEN." GO TO WORK and make arrangements for lectures and pub lic discussions or the measures of the Whig and locofoco parties. Whig principles always gum by fair, open, honest discussion of pub lic questions. Ihe people want light. Let it come in floods. GO TO WORK and on all proper occasioiia.reasauJi'Lth. those,. who are willing to listen to reason and argument. Labor lo confirm the wavering and win the doubtful. Every man, however humble his sphere, posseses some influence with his neighbors and friends. Let every Whig use this influence to advance w hig principles. He ought to do it he can contribute his mite and swell the tide of whig victory, which will then surely spread over the whole Union. GO TO WORK!! Rochester Democrat. THE COLUMBUS MEETING. The gathering of the Whigs at Columbus on Thursday was large and spirited, 10,000 attending, iour-htihs trom franklin county. All the townships were fully represented by sturdy farmers and sun burnt laces. They came in every variety of vehicles, in families men and women with music and banners; a procession led oil' by the Circleville Bund. The "Harry of the West," and other boats were there and fully manned. There w ere many flags and appropriate mottos. Buddy Comstock presided, assisted by 18 Vice Presidents and four secretaries. The speakers were M. Bart-ley, Messrs. Bebb, Ewing, Siorer and Corwin. Able speeches they made. All was as it should be, spirited and harmonious. Our friends are confident, and as firm as the hills. Cin. Ga2. TAKE CARE TURKEYS. A week or so since, during a t-mall jhow-er, there came up a thunder cloud. In the edge of our City, a gentleman wns sitting on his porch, and in the front part of his yard a large number of Polk bushes had grown up, and though in the midst there were a great number of trees of all kinds, a chip of thunder struck in and killed oil the Turkeys; and, strange to say, all the polk bushes were torn to smashes. .Does not this look quite omhums We would say, look out ye Pollutes. If your bushes are torn to pieces by democratic thunder, what may not you expect'! The people's thunder will demolish you till in Nuvember next, and will notle;ive even a branch or bush of you. We ask all the democracy to look it this and take care how they net. Whig Clarion. ' " Price 50 cts.-io. II), Important Renunciation, For the Journal. ANOTHER STRAIGHTOUT! Messrs Comly's. In the C.m innati Atlas, I find the following renunciation of the principle which have recently been engrafted upon the Democratic standard, by the machinations and cunning of John C. Calhoun at the late Baltimore Convention, in ousting Martin Van Buren and substituting Jas. K. Polk with all his Southern prejudices, so often expressed, of deadly hostility to the Tariff and to all the interests so eminently essential both to the Agriculturalist and the mechan c. Matlieiv Illland of the 3d Ward in Cincinnati, I have known well and intimately for the last ten years, he is a most worthy man and industi i-ous and hard workipg mechanic, and posess-ing much intelligence. I have never seen a card that has done me more good and meets with my hearty commendation, than does this frank and manly one of my friend Mathew Hylaud; lie is one of those men so emphati cally described by Mr. Clay in his speech in the Senate of the U. States in in these words. Bui, of alt foreigner none amalgamate themselves so ipuckly wilh uur people as the names uf ihe Emerald Isle. In stiineuf the visions which tmve passed through my imsginaliun, I have supposed thai Irelund wns originally part and parcel of this continent, and that by iine eitnsiirilinary convulsion of nature, it was turn fnun A-tnerii't, and drifting across the ocean, was placed in the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain. The same open heariedness; the same generous hospitality; the same careless and uncalculaling indifference aoout human life, characterize ihe inhabitants i f both countries. Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of America. And 1 have no doubt, thai if the current of emigration were reversed, and set from Americt upon the enures of Europe, instead of bearing fruin Kumpe m America, every American emigrant lo Ireland would there hod, as every Irish emigrant here nods, a hearty welcome and a happy home.1' D. The Editor of the Atlas introduces the renunciation with the following remarks. We have received the following renunciation of Locofocoism from the author. It speaks for itself. Mr,.Hyland has long been known in this community as an industr.ous and intelligent mechanic. He w as always an active member of the Locofoco parly, and of great influence among his brother mechanics in the Ward where he was best known, and was a delegate lo the late Locofoco Carthage Convention. He is now equally active in stirring up his neighbors to look into the Tariff, and candidly judge for themselves, free from partizan feelings, of its merits in protecting American labor, and in the late revival of business. For the Atlas. Messrs. Editors: I wish to state to the Locofoco party, through the medium of your paper, that I can go no longer wi.h them, but shall hereafter support Whig men und Whig measures, so long as they are tiie siiinc as they now are which I consider to be the true Democracy: I am a blacksmith by trade, having extensively carried on that business in the Third Ward of this city for twelve years. I am a nativeof Ireland, having been a citir zen of the United States for about twenty years, and have done all I could, by voting and otherwise, to support the cause of what I bought was Democracy; but it j rag reused too fast for me, and is at war with the best interests of the country. I am in favor of a Tariff which protects the labor of the country, against the pauper labor of Europe. 1 am opposed to the extension of slavery by the annexation of Texas. I am in favor of the distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands among the States to winch it belongs, and of restricting the veto power. For these reasons, and many others, I shall vote for Clay and Frelinghttysen, nnd support the Whig ticket. MATHEW HVLAND. August31, 1844. .Axother Splexdid Clav Pole. The indomitable and never-tiring Whigs of the 4th Ward are now engaged in raising a splend.d Clay pole. The main shaft of w hich is already up, at the corner of Baltimore n nil Front Streets, near the capacious Clay Club roam. It will be when completed the tallest pole, eitlu r Whig or Locofoco, in Baltimore, except that raised by the Whigs of the First Ward, which is thought w-ill have tn he slior ened r I 'le in o'der o let the clouds pass.

The speakers were M. Bart-ley, Messrs. Bebb, Ewing, Siorer and Corwin. Able speeches they made. All was as it should be, spirited and harmonious. Our friends are confident, and as firm as the hills. Cin. Ga2. TAKE CARE TURKEYS. A week or so since, during a t-mall jhow-er, there came up a thunder cloud. In the edge of our City, a gentleman wns sitting on his porch, and in the front part of his yard a large number of Polk bushes had grown up, and though in the midst there were a great number of trees of all kinds, a chip of thunder struck in and killed oil the Turkeys; and, strange to say, all the polk bushes were torn to smashes. .Does not this look quite omhums We would say, look out ye Pollutes. If your bushes are torn to pieces by democratic thunder, what may not you expect'! The people's thunder will demolish you till in Nuvember next, and will notle;ive even a branch or bush of you. We ask all the democracy to look it this and take care how they net. Whig Clarion. ' " Price 50 cts.-io. II), Important Renunciation, For the Journal. ANOTHER STRAIGHTOUT! Messrs Comly's. In the C.m innati Atlas, I find the following renunciation of the principle which have recently been engrafted upon the Democratic standard, by the machinations and cunning of John C. Calhoun at the late Baltimore Convention, in ousting Martin Van Buren and substituting Jas. K. Polk with all his Southern prejudices, so often expressed, of deadly hostility to the Tariff and to all the interests so eminently essential both to the Agriculturalist and the mechan c. Matlieiv Illland of the 3d Ward in Cincinnati, I have known well and intimately for the last ten years, he is a most worthy man and industi i-ous and hard workipg mechanic, and posess-ing much intelligence. I have never seen a card that has done me more good and meets with my hearty commendation, than does this frank and manly one of my friend Mathew Hylaud; lie is one of those men so emphati cally described by Mr. Clay in his speech in the Senate of the U. States in in these words. Bui, of alt foreigner none amalgamate themselves so ipuckly wilh uur people as the names uf ihe Emerald Isle. In stiineuf the visions which tmve passed through my imsginaliun, I have supposed thai Irelund wns originally part and parcel of this continent, and that by iine eitnsiirilinary convulsion of nature, it was turn fnun A-tnerii't, and drifting across the ocean, was placed in the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain. The same open heariedness; the same generous hospitality; the same careless and uncalculaling indifference aoout human life, characterize ihe inhabitants i f both countries. Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of America. And 1 have no doubt, thai if the current of emigration were reversed, and set from Americt upon the enures of Europe, instead of bearing fruin Kumpe m America, every American emigrant lo Ireland would there hod, as every Irish emigrant here nods, a hearty welcome and a happy home.1' D. The Editor of the Atlas introduces the renunciation with the following remarks. We have received the following renunciation of Locofocoism from the author. It speaks for itself. Mr,.Hyland has long been known in this community as an industr.ous and intelligent mechanic. He w as always an active member of the Locofoco parly, and of great influence among his brother mechanics in the Ward where he was best known, and was a delegate lo the late Locofoco Carthage Convention. He is now equally active in stirring up his neighbors to look into the Tariff, and candidly judge for themselves, free from partizan feelings, of its merits in protecting American labor, and in the late revival of business. For the Atlas. Messrs. Editors: I wish to state to the Locofoco party, through the medium of your paper, that I can go no longer wi.h them, but shall hereafter support Whig men und Whig measures, so long as they are tiie siiinc as they now are which I consider to be the true Democracy: I am a blacksmith by trade, having extensively carried on that business in the Third Ward of this city for twelve years. I am a nativeof Ireland, having been a citir zen of the United States for about twenty years, and have done all I could, by voting and otherwise, to support the cause of what I bought was Democracy; but it j rag reused too fast for me, and is at war with the best interests of the country. I am in favor of a Tariff which protects the labor of the country, against the pauper labor of Europe. 1 am opposed to the extension of slavery by the annexation of Texas. I am in favor of the distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands among the States to winch it belongs, and of restricting the veto power. For these reasons, and many others, I shall vote for Clay and Frelinghttysen, nnd support the Whig ticket. MATHEW HVLAND. August31, 1844. .Axother Splexdid Clav Pole. The indomitable and never-tiring Whigs of the 4th Ward are now engaged in raising a splend.d Clay pole. The main shaft of w hich is already up, at the corner of Baltimore n nil Front Streets, near the capacious Clay Club roam. It will be when completed the tallest pole, eitlu r Whig or Locofoco, in Baltimore, except that raised by the Whigs of the First Ward, which is thought w-ill have tn he slior ened r I 'le in o'der o let the clouds pass.
