II gives us pleasure to extract from the Chester
"Upland Union," Of Pennsylvania, of Wednesday
last, the following article in relation to this import
ant subject:
sRAnRoAp IRos.-The Pottsville Journal says:
Railroad iron can be made in this country for SIS
per ton. Ii sells at $40, and the demand greater
than the supply, both in Europe and this country.
II is estimated by the Journal that annual de-
mand Of 100000 tons will be requisite if the roads
now contemplated here are carried into effect. The
works OF this kind now in operation in the United
States can make only 900 tons per annum; thus
il follows, that the manufacture of railroad iron is
among the safest and most profitable investments,
and, at present, nothing to fear from competition
abroad.
eThe second number Of the Washington Unions
correspondent the tariff, will be found in this
paper; and as the subject is one which deeply con-
Germs the interest OF every citizen, we invite the at
tent on Of our readers TO those artices-no as par
sans, but intelligent freemcn, who seek the truth
in every question of policy which engages the exc
cutivc and legislative duties Of those clothed with
authority by the people TO act for them. Free dis
cussion and open examination is the life and soul of
liberty"
1.-THE "Upland Union" refers to our able cores
pendent " Bundclcund" whose numbers are run
ming the rounds Of republication and obtaining that
distinction and weight in the public mind to which
they are 80 justly entitled.
"THE rARUF OF ls42, AMI FACTS CONNECTED
WIN irs PAssAeE---lt is amusing TO careful OBJ
server, 10 witness the efforts now being made by
shutting, selfish politicians, to prejudice the public
mind against the official views and policy of Prcs-
dent Polk, in advance Of his message. He is not
only attacked by his bitter, vndctive, and SANDER
cas- political opponents, but, If wing declarations
entitled 10 any credit, they merely the mouth
pieces Of democrats who declare the tariff of 1912
must not even be examined regards its bearing on
the interests Of the great body Of producers in the
country, much less modified or amended so as to
distribute the burdens Of government equtably
among all--the only honest and just protection
government can confer on the frcemen who created
a. While the wings thus making tools of
weak or selfish democrats, they say let US stand
back, a. our leading men did at the passage of the
ball, and get the democrats by the cars. This, Of
course, ~ said with reference to such men as the
father Of the American system alias Of the com
promise bill, who len his station as a senator, to
avoid voting against u; and Adams, Owsey, Ora
ham, and many Others who voted against the pres
ent bll. Another object aimed at by the federal
Wing leaders 10 TO place such distinguished states
men A. Buchanan and Wright in a false position
before the democracy Of the Union, by representing
them ~ the special advocates Of the BILL both now
and At iis passage. The following extract from the
Washington 'Union,' the fearless
champion Of democracy, will put every honert and
Intelligent democrat on his guard against the tricks
% federalism, and show the imperous necessity
that forced Messrs. Buchanan and Wright TO vote
fof the revenue ball Of 1852. (Here follows the ex-
