LANCASTER, (Pa,) August g. 1912.
HARRY OF THE WEST is going it with perfect
rush in Pennsyivania-and no mistake. Previous
to the late Scott Convention at Harrisburg, we
had supposed that the Wings of Pennsylvania were
divided upon the question of the Presidency
but to our utter astonishment we find that we
are all Oh the same side. This Scott Convention
came off last wcek-but half dozen Counties
were represented, and in the said half dozen rep
resented Coxnties, nine tcnths of the Wigs at
This time are Clay men, and it will soon be race
between the other tenth part who shall get over
first. The Clay themselves are astonished at
their own numbers and the annals of things po-
litical make no mention of susl perfect unanimity
of feeling, and such nnbounded enthusiasm, as
now prevails among the Wings of Pennsylvania
As this same feeling exists throughout the Union
it will not require even the son OF a prophet to
foretcll the result Of the next Presidential election
Henry CLAY will walk the course in the
most approved Tippecanoe style: aud the aura
popalaris which waited Old Tip to the Presi-
deacy, will be as 2ephyr's whisper to the popa-
lar whirlwnd upon which . Harry of the West"

Correspondence OF The Tribune.

GALEsA Illinois, August /, 1872.
Absence from home and i'll health must be the
apology of your correspondent in the Lead Mines
for his long silence. Coming hither frem my own
New England,
Cline Of the brave the high hearts home,'
| have been the subject of full share of the dis
eases of the climate.
Since ] last had the pleasure of addressing you
we had aRother severe shock in the monetary
world. A, that time the notes of the Bank of H.
linois at Shawneetown constituted almost our en-
tire circulation She to specie pay
ments on the 18th Of June, and the people had
every confidence in her ability to resume, and
in the honesty and istegrity of those who con-
troled her affairs. Every man who could get
Shawneetown money thought he was safe. The
miners took it freely for their mineral and many
laid it by as specie funds. The mother Bank was
about TO establish branch in this CITY, and our
merchants anticipated some relief from the Eastern
exchange which it was said the Bank would throw
into the market. The 18th of June came, but with
it, unfortunately, no resumption of specie payments
bv the Shawneetown Bank. The consequence was
that her paper went down Immediately TO fifty cents
on the dollar. In common with almost every body,
l was grossly deceived in the Shawneetown Bank,
and l now freely confess it. Our people have been
so often deceived, cheated and swindled by the
Western Banks that they have very naturally lost
all confdencein Bank paper. Our staple (lead)
should secure to the best currency in the eouu-
try, and the principal transactions in il are in
specie. 1t is now dull at 81 25 per hundred,
specie, whchis lower than it has been for many
years.
This is election day in Illinois, and the contest
is going on very quietly in this city. The result,
as have said in my previous letters depends en-
trely upon the Southern part of the STATE. If
Joseph Duncan runs ahead of his party among the
Suckers, his chance of success will be fair. On
the other hand, if lie only gets the votes of the
Wings in the South he is badly beaten. In the
North the Wings will lose heavily on the vote at
the Presidential election in lS40. Van Buren, then
carried the State by l6<0 majority. The Locos
in this section united TO on Ford and are
making vigorous rally.
2. S. The polls have just been closed in this
city and the vote stands for
Duncan. ALI Ford ....-..55 553
Enough has been heard from the balance OF the
County to render it certain that the Locos have
carried the County of Joe Daviess, which gave 400
majority for Gen Harrison. This looks badly.

TARIFF on SALT.-Earons causes are com
bnng TO injute, we fear seriously the nlannfac-
ture Of Salt in the central part Of this State, which
has heretofore proved source Of such profit to
the State and of labor and consequent comfort to
thousands Immediately engaged in its various
branches. 70 some extent this may be owing to
the compIaints. which Of late are loud and fre-

sro,n the Onondaga WORKS but much more Of the
difficulty may be attributed 70 a lack of efficient
Protection and to the siagnutionn business brought
about in this State By tic bcnumbing influence Of
the Loco-t oco policy. We see that already foreign
salt is coming in by way of the St. Lawrence in
large quantities. a correspondent of the Albany
Advertiser says, lhat large amoun, has recently
arrived III Kingston--destined mainly fer markets
on the upper lakes, while large quantity OF New
York salt lies at Oswego waiting market, which
it cannot find The Canadians have the advantage
of US in this trade, in consequence Of their being
able to send wheat, bought ia the States, to Eng
land as Provincial grain-thus escaping the heavy
dn,ies which British Free Trade imposes upoa
foreign grain. They thus pay much higher
price in the Western States for grain for cx.
portation than our own millers aGord to give.
Salt is for them very convenient ballast their
upward trips-so that they preparing to sup
ply all orr Western grain-growing country with
this indispensable commodity. New-York is thus
made double loser being deprived at oace of the
salt duties and Of the canal tolls on this Western
wheat. Our Provincial neighbors are prosecuting
their improvements of the St. Lawrence with great
energy and rapidly: and as the Advertisers
respondent suggests, vessel may soon take car
go Of salt Liverpool aud, dischargng it at Chca
so return with load of wileat-thus effectually
destroying market for salt, which we can pro-
ducc in unlimited abundance, and draining our
Treasury of the tolls on the exported grain. More
thaa half the Syracuse salt-works are now lying
idle from this very cause 1t is, of little to
suggest desirable legislation, SO long as we are
under the yoke of selfish tyrant whose Will is ac-
clentally the Law Of the land.

The Croton Wafer.

Mr. EDITOR: The introduction Of the Croton
water into the city has given rise to much specula-
ton as to the best plan to be adopted enable the
citizens generally, to enjoy those benefits either
real or imaginary, which the public press has for
many years been teaching were to be derived
from it. Some Of these sreculations have found
their way into your widely circulated paper, bat
it appears to that pone of the suggestions which
have seen published will meet the expectations
of the public. If the general cleanliness and health
of the city are be promoted, the poor must be
supplied and this will never be done, if they are
10 depend on their landlords to introduce the water
into their houses. Certainly the most equitable
plan, and the one which above all others will Sc
cure equal advantage to ell, will be to place hy-
dranls at convenient distances in all the streets,
which shall be free to the public, for al! the uses
to which the pumps are now applied; and also TO
supply the water to those who desire TO have it in
their own houses at very moderate rate-say
for three story dwelling including baths aud sta
bic, ten dollars per amman; and tor two story
house with similar privileges, seven dollars; taverns,
livery stables, manufactures, &c. 10 be charged
IN pTopOTuON 10 TIC "atei uSS"'
public houses ought to pay from one to two
hundred dollars per annum, and some g mach
higher rate. From these very considerable in

Incorporated with the ordinary city tax, SO that
property should bear the burden according to its
value. The reduction in the cost of insurance
would seem no, only TO justify, but to poin, out

gest better one, they will much oblise the writer
by doing SO. through the medium of your columns.
