American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-07-23


sent to the Senate from Boston, New YORK,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and various other pla-
ces, demonstrating against the passage oil the
tariff bill now before the Senate, the official or
gan at Washington charges, that an attempt is
being made to create panic; and that false ac-
cusation is to destroy the testimony which has
been given against the measure Men who see
an act about to be passed which will blast their
prospects in life, and reduce them to poverty,
must stifle their complaints and quietly submit
to be ruined, or BIO subjected to the charge
Of endeavoring to produce panic for political
efect-but it happens, unfortunately for the
official editor, that the loudest complaints,
and the most strenuous opposition to the
bill, come from his own friends. The new
tariff does not discriminate between politicians,
but will bear as heavily upon the friend as the
opponent of the administration. In fact it will
sweep with desoating influence over the whole
country. To avert the scourge is the duty of
selfpreservaton, and it is ridiculous TO accuse
those who are struggling to prevent their own
destruction, with being influenced by no higher
motive than the desire to create panic.
But we fear that all efforts to prevent the
passage of the new tariff bill will prove to be
unavailing. 1t has doubtless been ascertained
that majority of Senators will vote for the
measure, as its friends in that body have de-
clined to discuss its merits. 1t will open eyes
as well as empty pockets; and when men can
be once induced TO examine matters for them
selves, and not look at them through the false
eyes of 'scurvey politicians" we shall have no
fear that tariff will be continued, which is to
''transfer Our workshops to Europe" and make
our own operatives paupors.
LATER FROM HAvANA-.MoUement Of Santa
.4ana. The New Orleans Delta of the 18th
inst. has advices from Havana to the 4th inst.
received by an arrival at Mobile. We extract
the following items:
By private letter shown to us, we see that
Capt. Howard's statement in reference to Santa
| Anna, is corroborated. at is generally report
ed, says the letter, "that Santa Anna would
leave on board the British steamer for Vera Cruz
on the 10th, in order to prosecute the war a.
gainst the United States"
The brig Hope Howes, adv ertised for this port
was delayed, in order to wait the arrival Of the
steamer from Vera Cruz and bring over the
specie and passengers she might have for this
port. The steamer should have arrived at Ha-
vana on the 9th oil 7th-consequently we may
look out for the Hope Howes, with the latest
Mexican news, in day or two, probably to-day
On the 90th June, the Spanish brig Joven
Gregorio arrived at Havana, and we see her
reported fiom Vera Cruz and Sisal but we find
no news whatever brought by her.
The Diario of the lst inst, in speaking Of
the health Of the city during the month of
June, says that two hundred and nnety-six
cases ofyellow fever were made known.
NAVAL. The Norfolk Beacon says, orders
have been received at the New York Navy
Yard, in Portsmouth, to prepare forthwith es-
Inmates of the cost of fitting out the U, S. ships
Pennsylvania and Delaware, and frigate Con-
stellation, now lying at the Navy Yard. The
U. S. ships North Carolina, ~ guns, at New
York, and Ohio, IA guns at Boston, are now
being repaired and fitted for sea, and aIso the
razee Independence, at Boston, and the figate
Brandywine, at Norfolk.
FATAL RENcoNTRE. We learn from the
Raleigh, N. c., Register, that rencontre took
place at a muster on Saturday last in Cumber-
land county, between B. F. Atkins, Esq,
candidate for the Legislature, and Archibald
McDiarmid, which resulted in the immediate
death Of the later from pistol shot. Both
gentlemen belong to the same political party.
ARRIVAL OF THE MASSACHUSETTS. The IT,
S. steamship Massachusetts,, which took out the
Baltimore and Washington volunteers, to Bra
EOS ST, Jago, returned to New Orleans on the
18th inst. She brought nothing later from the
army.
ARRIVALS OF EmGRANTs. BY an official re.
port of the Secretary of State to Congress, it
appears that the whole number of emgrants
from Foreign countries, who arrived in the u
nited States during the year ending Sept. so,
ls45, was lis, SS4. OF these there arrived in
New York, 1854; in Louisiana, 1887; in
Massachusetts, 10, $50; in Maryland, 1901; in
