The whig journals are sorely displeased with the
evidences lately afforded Of the revolution now in
successful progress on the tariff question in Penn
|sylvania-and well they may be. To ourselves
and indeed to the democracy of the whole Union
these facts are pregnant with future hope and en-.
couragement, and it is not to be wondered that to
the wings they ure fraught with chagrin and disap-
poiutment. Much, however, as we have already
disturbed their equaaimity by the republication OF
the truly patriotic proceedings of public meetings
held in the counties Of fLehgh, Northampton, Ches-
ter, Montgomery, and Susquehanna, we cannot
promise to let them off yet. We have still fresh
voOey of public sentiment in store which we lay
before readers below, consisting of democratic
meetings recently holden in OLD BERKs, Bedford
and Fioga. They show the true "fre of the flint, u
and fully warrant the prediction we have recently
advanced with so much confidence, that in very
short time Pennsylvania will be as fully committed
again0t high duties any other State in the Union
OLD BERKs.-The Reading Press brings US the
proceedings of great meeting Of the democrats OF
Berks county, held the 18th ut, and thus speaks
ofl" 1--WE attended the democratic county meeting
at Berkeley, Maidencreek township on Saturday last,
and we are reoced to announce, at the very begin
ming of this article that the proceedings of The meet
ing were marked by spirit of union and harmony,
worthy of the democracy Of Old Berks. 1t was a
large and respectable assemblage Of the active men
ofthe party who stood by its principles in every con-
test, from which they have never deviated or
ed from expressing and carrying into effect, notwth
standing the intimidatons, threats, and expedients
Of whigcry to drive them from their ancient land
marks. All classes Of the community were repre-.
sened in that meeting; the farmer, the mechanic,
and the workingman was there; we recognised
among them the shoemaker, the blacksmith, the
carpenter, and men Of every class of the mechanic
arts, who claim that equality of protection from
government, which the monopost and capitalist
would arrogate wholly to and for himself, at the
cost of every other interest"
William Holtenstein presided, assisted by twelve
vice presidents and four secretaries; and the resou-
ions, introduced by Samuel Fegely, esq, ate State
senator) were adopted by acclamhion. We select
the following:
Resolted, That we have undiminished confidence
IN James X. Polk, the President Of the United
States; the manner in which he has discharged his
public duties increase the peoples attachment for
ms genuine democratic principles, assured, also, by
.he best proofs that in him they have not been mis-
taken.
Resolved, That we regard with unqualified appro-
oahon the conduct of George VI. Dallas; the Spar
An hrmness and manly Independence with which he
met the late crisis increase the peoples confidence
and attachment for his principles and character. He
mas been faithful TO them, and they will reward his
valuable services with higher honors.
htsoIUsd, That the tariff act Of 1876, being now
!ne law Of the land enacted by democratic major
NY Is entitled to, and will receive from the democra
y OF this county, fair and impartial trial. We
consider II far preferable the act Of ls42 inas-
much as it affords equal protection to all classes Of
Ouf people--the farmer, the mechanic and laborer,
