Extracts of Gov. Porter's Message.
Our mmonweath possesses fertile soil and I'M
bounded agricultural and mineral wealth. We have
within ourselves almost all the necessaries, and many
of the luInres of life. With the increase of intelli-
pence and means find our farmers augmentng the
products Of their soil improving their stocks Of do
mestc animals and adding TO the neatness of their
household establishments. No pass through
our commonwealth without being struck with the air
of substantial comfort ard increasing prosperity which
pervades the agricultural districts of the State.
The variety and extent OF our water power, give
great facilities the manufacture of grain into
bread stuff and for every other branch of manuiac
ture either needed for the supply Of our citizens or
for the employment of their capital
Had Pennsylvania already reached the full develop
ment of her resources with her present pecunary
sponsibilties weighing her down we might well con
template situation With trembling soicitudo But
this Is not the case Throughout the whole extent OF
her ample territory, there is scarcely sguaremie that
does not abound in some all of the great staples Of
her mineral wealth Anthracite and biiuminous coal
iron marble and limestone, have been scattered by
nature with most prouse hand and have been hither
worked barely enough to prove with what prodgaii
~ they have been lavishcd upon US. The coal field
OF our commonwealth embraces more than one-fiith
of its area and more than three times much as be-
longs TO entire Europe. Connected with the coal,
which abounds in so large portion OF the common
wealth, we have large supplies OF iron ore almost IN
immediate contact with it, In addition thereto, we
have within convenient distances, almost all the other
varieties Of iron found in any pant Of the world
The adaptation of anthracite coal the smelling Of
iron ore has been followed by its successful and profit
able application in the further stages of the manuac
ture ofthe metal and that the results will spccd
y follow from the application of hitumnous coal may
be looked for with almost absolute certainty. While
the iron manufactured with charcoal will always be
wanted for the finer purposes, and the demand for L.
increased BY the natural increase Of the population Of
the country, tha, manufactured from mineral coal will
be employed in the construction Of rail roads, and for
nnumerabIe other purposes. This discovery must
stand as distinguished in the annals of our com

ADDRESS OF WING MEMBERS OF CON-
,-f ....FF 1ff GRESG f1& H fNt

This document will be- found in columns to
day. 1t is important in itself, and more especially
as il emanes from party in Congress in the major
ity, which, unfortunately, is in Disagreement upon
one point, at least, with the Executive branch Of
Government. That portion of il relating TO the
acts of Congress consommated in conjunction with
the President is highly satisfactory and just;-for
these acts do receive the almost united commenda-
ton of the people of whatever party-iet the lead
ers of the opposition say and do what they please.
The people are in favor of the distribution act; they
are in favor Of proper defences OF the nation; they
are glad that the Sub Treasury Law IS repealed,
and will accord to the Wings in Congress full and
deserved praise.
What is said in relation to the disagreement OF
Congress and the Executive, may or may not be
iust--.time alone can determine this. We cannot
but think that Mr. Webster pursues the true course
and that if there should be failure in tho esab>
iishment of Fiscal Agent, he will in no wise be
blameabie; and from present indications we are in
spired with an unwaverlng confidence that an in.
stitution will be established-snch too
will meet the wants Of the country. Mr. w. acts
| like n man of sense-uot of mere passion-like a
true patriot-fearless and independent If the
| Wings return 10 Congress with the proper spirit
we hope and triist after the tdeep reflections, he
| ! p
mind prepared to cooperate with them in the
creation of some sort of an agency to the govern.
ment and for the people. Let us then with patience
wait and see what few months may bring forth,
Judging with all charity, both Congress and the
Executive. 81 ~' '

DREADFUL CATAsrRoPHE.-We learn from the

late horrible catastrophe. The House Of ylvester

about IL o'clock at night; and four persons piz. 9
sons of Mr.. Brown--one aged z, and the other, S
years-Thomas Smith aged so years-and daugh
ter of Ezekiel Campbell aged l1years, The persons
burnt slept up stairs, while Mr. Brown and his wife
and babe, who slept below barely escaped, with
ont saving any thing but their night clothes. The
fragments of bones were placed in coffin and
buried in the publ, burying ground near the house

LocoFoCoIsM BEFORE ELECTION

"The Wings in Congress have laid tax OF 20
per cent on tea and coffee, and this while they per
nit Rail Road iron come to soulless corporations
free. Every cup of coffee and tea that you drink
will contain whig thief" - asbl
Such were the falsehoods of the locoioco papers

horse shed and bar-room brawIers all over the the
State. Will NOT the People remember such
things? -.i leea aa
The truth is, the Wings in Congress as body
were utterly opposed to such taxes, and voted in
body against them. The game was got up to cheat
and to deceive those who had not the means Of
knowing the ruth, and to have an effect in the

ORGANS OF THE FREE TRADE PRESS

| We notice that ocofoco paper in New York
| City utters'mos bitter denunciations against tho
| Wings for passing tho Revenue Bill declaring
that 1t establishes principle of taxation upon for
eign manu- features imported into this country as
| high as 80 per cent. Very we'll. We like this
principle much, touching articles that need protec-
ton, while neccssaries are fee We suppose the
New York Editor is not much out of the way, for
with the amendment to the Revenue bill, as we
understand it, and Of which the aforesaid free trade
editor complains, actual duties, after The compro-
mise act ceases, may by law, be raised as high as
25 per cent and not int, fere with the land BILL up
on such articles as may be specified. In addition
to this, it is contemplated to levy the tax upon the
value Of goods here instead of the price paid for
them abroad and also to exact cash duties, which
will make difference of per cent, In fact-thus
giving protection OF 80 per cent, as tho N. "
editor argues. To this, we pprehend, even the
Southern Wings in Congress have assented ~
And will not this be enough Let SEGA
| yard of broadcot worth 81 in England il tax ed
% per cent, pays 81 duty upon its foreign valua-
tion-when it arrives here, its increased valuation,
together with the cash system makes the duty e.
quail to 30 per cent-accordng to the arguments of
the opponents of protection--then the duty is
81 30 yer yard upon such cloth. adlaGa aJ dnaoN
| Another consideration. The Protection of late
upon woolens has been made of little avail from
the fact that gross system of smuggling has been
resored to by the foreign importers, at New York,
! especjally--by the men who of late have raised
such hue and cry of no protection, in conjunc.
ton with the locofoco party. Through the agency
of the venal and corrupt men who held Office in
the custom house at New York, an immense a.
mo1ut ofwoolen goods have been brought into
this country, free of duty even the duty exacted
\ by the compromise act. So gross had this prac.
tce become that upon the accession of Gen. Har.
rison to the Presidency, new officers were appoint
| ed IL a committee sent on TO examine into matte,s
and after three months labor, they found that the
laws had been most wantonly violated and the
country wofully cheated. A stoppage to this con-
duct will operate most favorabiy upon tho wooden
| interests of the nation. r. t't y M aaj 8@
Instead of protection being abandoned, we sea
the way opened for judicious and wholesome pre-
| tective Tariff ~ BEES fa q 90
