.The Tnrin Convention.

The Tariff Convention,
II Hollidaysburgh, Pa, assembled on the 18th
INST. 1t was respectfully attended. Gov. PoR-
TER was President. Resolutions we're offered by
lanes Potts, of Cambria, which after consider
able discussion, were adopted. They declare
that ii is the duty of the Government to extend
as far as may be practicable TO do so, by its reve-
nue. laws, and all other means within its power,
fair and Just protection 10 all the great interests
of the whole Union, embracing Agriculture,
Manufactures, Commerce, the Mechanic Arts,
and Navigation. They oppose the doctrine of
free trade; advocate the protective policy afforded
by the present tariff act; oppose the Abandonment
of that act; oppose horizontal or 70 per cent.
Gd palorem taaih; declare that the tariff of 1912
has yielded sufficient revenue TO deffay the ex-
penses of the government economically admin
isered; and has afforded fair and just protection
to all the great interests of the Union, embra-
cling Agricultural &c.
The following are the concluding resolutions
Resolpcd, That Justice and sound policy forbid
the Federal Government to repeal or in any way
materially alter or modify the tariff of 1912, so
long as the same yields sufficient revenue 10 de-
fray the expenses of the Government.
ResolDed, That fins Convention therefore res
pectfully demand at the hands of the Congress of
The Union that general protection which is their
inheritance: that the existing system of revenue
having fulfilled its great object, it is highly i'm
portant that the laws on such subjects as the ta-
riffshoud be permanent in their character, which
would be a sure guarantee to the enterprise OF
the country and the investment of capital
ResoIUed, That the President be requested TO
transmit the proceedings and resolutions of this
Convention TO our Senators and Representatives
in Congress, earnestly urging their influence and
co-operation in carrying out the principles ant
!; views contained therein.
A number of the ultra tariff wings withdrew
from the Convention, because the doctrine o
protection was not assumed to the fullest extent

German papers published in this country have
been prohibited from entering the Kingdom o

been prohibited is, that they are very general!
Locofoco papers, and contain great deal more
indgestible twattle about agrarian liberty ant

This is one of the most extraordinary para
graphs that we have seen in an American paper
" "A locofoco paper in German, read in Germany
!, must sound strange indeed.' We have no dout
j. it would; and so did our declaration of indeper
n dence sound very strange. 1t sounded yer
- strungc to the Grand Duke of Hesse in 49, an
Il he, accordingly hired his subjects out to Englan
J to put down this strange doctrine They di
Of not succeed. This strange heresy only increa'
ed. Now it goes back to the very doors of ia
Grand Duke--and what says this anti-America
editor? He is glad the Hanoyerian King and til
n Grand Duke have prohibited these ncendar
- publications within their dominions!!
, - Glad to hear that the principles of civil an
u religious liberty are shut out from Europe!!
v is German publications from America that al
t. prohibited, ,and whig editor rejoces at it. Woul
T. it not be we'll TO prohibit publications in tn
country that are not of the true political faith
The Journal has got beyond even federalism
n He is now the advocate of monarchy, and th
- principles of arbitrary government. Upon th
- same grounds, American books should be prob
le bited, and the circulation of rews from Amer
S ca should, by all means, be prevented. We al
not indeed surprised at the conduct of crowne
heads 1t will not do to discuss the equal righ
ri of man in that country 1t will not do to i
r the people know that there is place in II
world where man is free, 1t is perfectly consi
tent with the geuius of their government to su
press these papers. If the principles of the
H. government are right, this act is right. He tn
n usties the latter, Of course, jusfes the forme
r. We are glad that whiggery is showing itself
st is Just what might be expected from it. 1t
IN the ally of foreign despotsm. Let il show d

RS sincere; he does not wish emigrants to read
to merican papers before they come here. He h

ke tions of political degradation about them, full

lie ments They will then be good material for {
al whg party; ready to bow 10 all the arisocra
schemes Of that ever active and designing ia
10 tion who wish government of wealth over nuI
bers. Such an avowal from an American pre-:
e. Our readers will notice one thing which
NJ worthy of special remark 1t is the Locofo
