In our marine list of yesterday was mentioned the
arrival of the iron steam freight boat Ironsdes Capt
Marshman, Sc hours from Philadelphia, with mer-
chandise and Coal to M. W. Chaplin & Co. She is
one of line of iron steamboats, which are to run re-
gularly between this port and Philadelphia, leaving
each place once week She is 100 feet in length
% feet in BREADTH feet deep, and carry about
$50 TONS When loaded she draws but S 10 feet,
and consequently can pass up and down the river
free of toll. She is moved by two of Erricksons
propelers placed at her stern, and her machinery,
which is very simple, takes up little that her
accommodations for freight and for loading and I'M
loading, very superior. Her speed is from six to
eight miles the hour, but she is schoonerrigged,
when the wind is favorable this be considerably
increased.

81 AM FOR SUPPORTING THE COMPROMISE Act, AND
WILL NEVER AGREE TO ITS BEING ALTERED OR REPEAL
Ep.-Ge,. Hnrisons letter to the GAINESVILLE Committee,
November, 1886.
of THE COMPROMISE BE INvIoLABLY MAINTAINED,
G5-As | THINK 1T OUGHT TO BE,=SsIs trust that the
rate of duty for which it provides, in conjunction
with the spula ion for cash dutes home valuation,
and the long list of free articles inserted for the ben
eft of the manufacturing interest will insure its rea-
sonable and adequate protection. Henry Ctay's
Speech at Buffalo, July, 1889
The Wings are outrageous in their abuse Of Pres-
dent Tyler, because he is for adhering to the Com
promise act and pretend that they have been hwart
I'd in their plans by the death of Harrison. But how
could Gen. Harrison, consistently with his recorded
pledges, have been otherwise on this question than
Tyler' He pledged himself " for supporting the
Compromise act and said he ''wOuld NEVER agree
to its being altered or repealed He was elected
under that pledge, and so was Tyler. The ewing
principles then were adherence to that act, come
what may Has President Tyler abandoned his
principles now, have the Wings abandoned theirs?
And how would matters have been different had
"Harry Of the West,' as they now call him, been at
the present time, where he is longing to be, in the Pre-
dental chair He pledged himself so late as
1882 ''nviolably" to support the Compromise act
eff the Compromise be inviolably maintained, AS
THINK 1T OUGHT to be-" said he, the manufacturing
interest will under its provisions have all "reasona-
BILE and adequate protection" Such were the
swing principles" under which they conducted the
Presidential campaign: they stand recorded every
where against them, in the papers and speeches of
that period-and yet they have now the unblushing
impudence to pretend that they knew them not.
Then again as to Distribution, their pledges are
quite as much at variance with their present conduct
One of the first of the present Congress at
the extra session, was solemnly pledge themselves
by public act that the distribution principle should
cease the moment it became necessary to raise the
duties beyond the compromise limit of 20 per cent
But notwithstanding this pledge, the same Congress
now ms st upon putting the duties up with one hand
and maintaining the distribution with the other the very
distribution that they thus stand pledged to abandon
The history of party proagacy cannot find parallel
to such conduct; and then to talk Of mpeachIng the
President because he will not prove himself un-
principled they wish to prove themselves to be
Because he will not willingly do what Gen. Harrison
declared he never would-violate the Compromise
act; and though Henry Clay, now the Wing candi-
date for 1874 has declared and again, that
it ought not to be violated but should be nviolably
maintained

SIDENT
Although perhaps man ought to be surprised at
outrage the Clay Wings in Congress may attempt

such procedure were made, it was looked upon
species of badInage No honest would believe
