THE SUB-TREASURY AND CASH PAY

AT the Porter meeting held at Pitlsburg, on
Friday evening, the I4lh inst, at the Exchange,
VIM. Wilkins contrnded that the Sub Treasury
scheme, with cash duties on foreign products,
TouIl he hest for The manufactures, and asked
them 10 express their opinions. The following is
thelr response to his call. We ask the attention
of our farmers, manufacturers and wnrkugmen TO
il. Ii gives an admirable stunning up of the
ru,h Of The Whole ulnuer in II very small con-
pass.
70 Tie Hon. Jttdge VGkts:
Sir, Having beard thai in your address from
the Exchange Steps on Friday evening last, YOU
appealed TO our firm Among others, whether the
Sub Treasury scheme, with cash payments of du-
Ties, would not he better for the manufacturer thur
the "best protective tariff, and not doubting your
desire to have every erroneous impression correc
ted we beg leave to observe, that, although the
latter would, as far ms it Went, he favorable the
operation OF the former will be highly injurious
to them.
1t will parnlyze the enterprise OF the manufac-
turer, and the ingenuity OF the mechanic, by di-
minishng the demand for their products ioal
cypress The industri us jdrme,, By greatly reducing
the price Of his produce, and II tcW bring dozen The
'cageS che iaJoring man so iOo, as to dep ire HIM

Manufacturers flourish best when the farmer,
the mechanic, and the Workngman are dong
WELL
In nc country with which we are acquainted
nossessinp only n metallic currency, does labor
meet its lust reward, and the inevitable tendency
OF the Sub Treasury law, is to bring into operation
The anti democratic principle, of making the poor
poorer, and The rich richer and is totally opposed
10 that of promoting the greatest good OF the
greatest number.
We remain, sir, respectfully yours,

Opinions Of a Revolutionary Soldier, touching
matters and MingS.-The Clinton County Wing
gives splendid account Of the great Log Cabin
meeting there on Monday.
Tie proceedings commenced by the singing of
several popular songs after which Mr.. John A.
Ferris, n Revolutionary Soldier, addressed the
people. He was listened to with the most pro-
found interest, and his remarks often elected re-
peated applause. We should be happy to pub
sli iiis observations entire, did not the crowded
state OF our columns render il impossible; but as
we took notes, we will give brief sketch of what
he said. He commenced by observing that he
was nearly "a years OF age-that in 1873, he was
familiar with all the troubles between Connecticut,
(now Vermont,) and New York. Three hundred
scotch families were sent by the British TO settle
along the borders of Lake Chumplain, and they
at first encamped around the premises of his ia.
ther, who at that time kept public house. Col.
Warner, Captain Ethan Allen, and Capt Baker
were determined the scotch should not settle here
In l775, he was ut st. Johns when he returned,
he found Col Warner and Ethan Allen, with their
regiment at his fathers door-ther object being
TO prevent all intercourse between Canada and
the States The next morning intelligence
received that Ethan Allen had taken ricondeToga
and Crown Point. Gen. Montgomery said he,
shortly came on, and took command of the army
and the boats on the lake, and they embarked for
ST. Johns, took possession of that place, and also
Montreal. He did not accompany Gen. Nj. any
further but returned home and entered Capt. Coo
per's Rangers ntpursuit of the Tories He
ut the battle OF Saraoga-he was pretty sure that
he fired the first gun there, and he witnessed the
capture of Burgoyne. He went to Cherry Valley
in This State, saw that place burnt, and also
Spr!ng field He then entered another regiment
crossed over Stoney Point, when they learned the
lreachery of Arnold, which greatly delayed the
expedition they hnd in view He next went to
Virginia, and he witnessed the surrender of Corh-
wallis All these things, said he. have witnessed

CHARGE OF MURDER.
Union Of Teras and Merico-The New Orleans

Union Of 2'erds and .nerico.-The New Orleans
Bulletin says:
IfTeXas could be prevailed upon to join the
Federation, she would be an important acquisition,
infusng, ms she would, into the commonwealth,
the healthy, vigorous principles and enlightened
institutions of the Anglo-Saxon race. We should
regard the nmalgation OF Texas with Mexico as
the greatest Blessing kind providence could be :
stow upon that sem-barbarous benightcd people.
A gradual rcnoyating might then take place, civ
ilizing aud elevating the population, and qualifying
for the enjoyment Of the inestmable blessings of
liberty. The ability Of the Mexican and South
American Spanish race 10 maintain free republican
institutions may well be doubted. Every expert
ment has, as yet, signaly failed. The best hope,
therefore, presented for the establishment of Re-
public in Mexico, is the union of Texas with the
other provinces, into one grand confederacy. The
intelligence and solidity of the American charac-
ter might be impaired to the Mexcans, and the
country would thus I've regenerated, and saved
from the anarchy that now threatens its desoaton.
