THE WARMING PAN.

In Ireland, warming pan is called
friar. Not many years ago an unsophls.
ticaicd girl took service in hotel in the
town Of -. Poor thing-she had never
heard Of warming pan in her life, though
she regularly confessed to lriar once a
year.
II 50 happened on a cold and drizzly
night, that priest took lodgings in the
inn. He had travelled far, aud being wea-
~, retired at an early hour. Soon after,
the mistress Of the house called the SER
want girl.

Up went Betty to the poor priest.
Your reverence must 60 into No. g,
my mistress says"
How-whall" asked he, annoyed at
being disturbed.
our reverence must 60 lLto No. O.,
There was no help for it, and the priest
arose, dpnned a dressing. gown, aud went
into No. 6.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress cal
led 10 Betty.
"put the (rinr into No. A."
Betty said something about disturbing
his reverence, which her mistress did not
understand. So she told the girl, in a
sharp voice, to do always as she was d.
rec;ed, aud she would always do right
Up wen, Betty, and the unhappy priest,
despite his angry pro.estatIons, was obiFg'
cd to turn out of No. G and 90 into No 4.
BIT d little time elapsed ere the girl was
told to put the friur into No. 8. But he
was to enjoy no peace there. Betty was
again directed to put the friar into No. .,
and with tears in her eyes she obeyed.-
In about an hour the Iandlady concluded
to 90 to bed herself, and tho frinr was or
dcred into her room. Wondering what it
all meant, Betty reused up the priest, and
told him he must 20 into No. Ii. The
monk crossed himself, counted his beads,
and went into No. IL. 1t so happened
that the husband of the landlady was trou.
bled with the green eyed monster. Going
up to bed, therefore, before his wife, his
suspicious were confirmed by seeing IN
his own bed man sound asleep. To
arouse the sleeper and kick him into the
street, was the work Of moment; nor
was the. mistake explained till the next
day, when the priest informed the inn-keep-
or what outrages had been committed up
on him, and no learned TO his amazement
that he had been serving the whole night
as warming pan.

POLK PRINCIPLES AT THE SOUTH.
Mr.. Charles Spalding, the Loco Foco
Candidate for Congress in the first Con-
sressional District of Georgia, has issued
an address TO the electors, from which No
take the following extract
Il am opposed to protective Tariff because
it is unjust, and oppressive in its operation on the
people OF Georgia-because 1t is an abuse of the
authority granted to Congress TO Levy duties for
rerenue."
Mr.. Spaldlng was one Of the Delegation
to the Baltimore Convention which nomin-
ated Mr.. Polk. He is opposed to any and
every Protective Tariff, and supports MIR.
Polk on this ground. Ye, IN Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and portions of New York. the
Loco Foco papers try to make out that Polk
is in favor of protection. 1t is miserable
trick, aud respectable Locos ought TO be,
aud soon will be ashamed Of it.-Phil. u

 ASHLAND, Sept. 10th, lsi4.
 Dear SiF-I duly received your favor Of the 2Oth ultimo, and, along with 1t, half dozen pair of ladies' andgentlemen's white aAd black kid gloves, manufactured al your establishment, and which you have kindly Ofieredt to my acceptance. l thank you for the present. and for the friendly motives which induced you to make it. Mrs. Clay pronounces the gloves very superior article.
 But, my dear sir, it is useless now to speculate upon the advantages of cherishng this or any other branch of American Manufactures. The question is now depending before the American People, whether the doctrines of Free Trade Fair Protec tion to American Industry, shall prevail. hs q period of less than sirty days, that question sciii be eettLed. Perhaps State in the Union will ex- ercise more influence in settling it than the state of Pennsylvania. If 1t should he determined, in con- fornity with the policy of the Wings, zoe mag cO' idestty anticipate just PTOtectiOT to eveTy branch f Maa4f factsres tor sclich Me cOatsstry is ripe Should the opposite party prevail, we may bid adeu to National prosperity, far as depends upon the encouragement of Domestic Manufactures, and re- sume our dependence upon foreign countries In any and every event, tender you cordial wishes for your success, happiness and prosperity.

RAILROAD IRON.
H. CLAY.


 The Locofoco State Address of Georgia assais the Tariff sayagely, and especially the duty it im poses on Railroad Iron. It represents Georgia as paying an immense tax on the Iron she needs for her Railroads in consequence ofthe Tariff Itkeeps out of sight the part that Mir. Evans (Whigs) of Maine attempted last winter to have the duty taken oh Railroad Iron, but was resisted by MT. Buchan- an, (Loco) of Pa., and the bill defeated by major fly of both parties. That was right Railroad Iron is sOmewhat-nOt much-dearer now than it would be if there were no duty upon it, but this will not long continue At this moment several extensive establishments for the manufacture of Railroad Iron are going up both in Pennsylvania and Maryland l; and if Clay is elected we shall doubtless have good Rails as cheap as ever before within three years, made by American workmen, who receive Ameri- can wages, consume American provisions, fuel, sc wear American cloths, and help support American schools, churches, and governments. Even now, the Paterson Railroad Company has just made a contract for the Rails to relay their Road for 52 12 per ton, delivered in Jersey City. This $ three dollars per ton cheaper than the auerage cost of tAe sdnse 11 RGiis i,. xis City during the seren years that RGilrO0d h'O'1 acas admitted free 0f dnty Is not this fact most instructivey sgnifcant
 Our People supposed, when they took the duty off of Railroad Iron, that it would be just so much cheaper; but this proved serious mistake. It did not fall to the amount of the duty, and began to rise. the demand for it from England increased and kept up 1ih we broke down here, and nearly stopped making Railroads. Ii is to us plain as de- nonstration that Rails would have been far lower to-day, and for five years past, if we had kept on the duty from the first. Our Iron.masters were driven out of the business by Free Trade just when they began to turn their attention to it, and have never since attempted to do any thing at it until after the present Tariff was enacted and stood the first Locofoco onslaught last winter. Now they are just going heartily into it, and will be ready 70 make largely next season. Let them be salye that they are to be protected against Foreign compet- tioh, ahdthey will lay down good Rail on the At. lantic II $45 ton before three years over But ifthe Tariff is to be ripped up and overturned by Polk Congress. they will be driven out of the bus- ness, and the English lron-masters, having control ofthe market, will again make their own prices or, more strictly. the the British Tronworks for all the Railroad Iron to supply both Great Brit ain and oar Country will force up prices to high. shass ,sss s Svt s turning out Railroad dn bUgaG.

THE INFLUENCE or BRITISH COLD

II
 British Gold is freely employed to Promcte Brit: ish interests in this county; and the naboos ol EnRland look to the success Of Mr. Polk as the | consummatiOn of their hopes. It ss their darling desire to break down the American system wnlcn protects American labor, and thus secure the Ame- 1 Fican market for their manufactures. It has long been their ambition to make Great Britain the work shop of the world" The great capitalists Of | Manchester and Birmingham are therefore quite as anxious for the election of Mir. Polk as Mr. Mc- Dufie or Mir. Calhoun, and have actually contribu- ted thousands of pounds tO promote their free trade of Mir Clay, and the establishment of the Protect 1 i've policy. Enormous sums of money have been subscribed in England for this express purpose.- A late number of the London 1S1aes has the tOl- lowing on the subject:
 "A subscription was recently opened to raise funds to circulate Free Trade Tracts in Foreign Countries .ab0st -four hsisadred and forty hOots- and sOsre subscyibe& Some ef these Tracts are 1 tO bc PvSased Sse .NesD Fork, FOR CIRCULATION IN THE UNITED SrATEs."
 ] Here is doubtless the secret and source of the Free Trade Tracts which have been printed in such profasion ak the office of the N. Y. Plebean, and sown broadcast over the land. We hear of these ss Plebean Tracts" arfully adapted to promote the election of Mr. Polk, from the Cemotest borders of the country; and 50 confident are the men who print them of the efficacy of their schemes, thus backed by foreign money, that the Plebeian has thrown oft all disguise on the subject, and takes ground openly, with the Evening Post, the early and always undisguised advocate of free trade, against the present tariff and it's authors and snp- l portegs.
 The proof chat immense sums have been sabscri- bed in England is fortunately placed beyond all contradiction, and the Republic furnishes us with further extracts from British papers which show beyond peradventure the feelings which exist there on the subject. Subscriptions have, as the Times says, been opened in various sections In Man chester alone they raised upwards of tsuesy Atss- and pOsssds The following list of subscriptions for this purpose we copy from an English newspa- per. They were reported at one of their Free Trade meetings by Mr. Murray, and as the list was read, we are told that the " announcement of the respective sums received scita loud aud hearty cheering 1y the audience" Those cheers are in truth loudly and heartily re-echoed by every Polk and Dallas meeting on this side of the Atlantic, waere hostility-base and vindictive hostility to the GREAT FATHER AND CHAMPION OF THE PRO- rIcrIvE sYsTEaG-alone induces the sacrifice and abandonment of the great cause of American labor. .' Mfr Murray" we are told, after the Free Trade business of the meeting was over, "reaa the fol- lowing list of subscriptions already received the announcement of the respective sums being receiv- |

The news ran round the town and soon a Whig came forward who happened to have g 900 by him and was very willing to waive his scruples about betting to ac. cnmoda4e these anxious gentlemen. But,in bring. ing the braggegS to close action it was found thai though they wanted to bet. they would rather not lrisk SO much as $3, 900 The Whig would not let hem off, but they fell to l, ,OOO, $500, and at last sid they would only bet One Hnsasayed Dollors Tue Whig nailed them on this, and got the money put pp. The braggers hung round the town a couple of hours, evidently i'll at ease, and finally went to tAeir Whig customer and offered him five dollars to let them take back their money Here fused telling them that he was quite in earnest throughout and ifthey were not they should have done their bragging somewhere else than in Pough. keepsle.- This is sample of good many such scenes which have taken place the past week.
