ANDREW STEWART.

'.And yet this miserable trickster who
is here regarded as semi-idiotic& wholly
selfish creature desires to be regarded at
home, as the friend of the industrious
poor" Genius of Liberty, Aug. lS.
We submit to the public whether Mr..
Stewart, who is thus referred 10 in let
ter purporting to be written at Washing
ton City, or the writer himself, and the
editor who published it, is the great
trickster and blockhead. There is great
deal more such trash covering column
of the Genius, to which the whole Loco
foco party in Congress are said for fear Of
the influence of Mr.. Stewart, to have
been driven against their consent, into the
support of the British Tariff Act. Yes!
Mr.. Stewart, who is deemed "scmi-idiot-
ic" "who receives more curses, at Wash
ington, than any other man in Congress"
-''who for his effiiciousness and for be-
ing personallyinterested in the manufacture
of iron. disguised all sides of the House"
-"whose farcical exhibitions were look
ed upon as expedients to put mouey in
his pockets is represented as having
driven the whole Locofoco party in Con-
gress into the support of the British Bill,
without an attempt to amend it.
Such coarse invective and bungling
lalsehood defeat themselves. We wish
we had room to extract the whole letter
from the Genius.
That Mr.. Stewart was interested in the
benefits conferred by the Tariff of 1912
every body knows, and no one pretends
to deny. Who, except the office hunters
and holders whom no misfortune or op-
preston Of the laborer can injure, is not
interested in it! The writer of this letter,
who is an office holder in Washington, or
more likely brokendown iron master at
Uniontown, and such as he, are the only
persons exempt from the evils of vicious
legislation and law, calm as a summer
morning look down upon the misery they
inhict.
For the hundredth time these miserable
vampires who feed on the life blood of
the laboring poor, and laugh at the "ago-
ny" which they "pile up" on those
whom they plumber, have been invited to
point TO the public act of Mr.. Stewart,
injurious to the poor mans or any other
deserving mans interest His votes are
all on record-his public speeches are in
the hands Of every one. Let them lay
their fingers on the thought word or ac-
hon; uttered or done injury to his con-
slituents.
But this letter writer is in favor Of the
British Tariff Act. He points out its adj
yantages over the Act Of 1912, and shows
thatitrednces the tax as he calls it,on man.

FLATTERING FOR THE FAR
MERS.

The New York Morning News (Lo-
cofoco) saws: 1.-The farmers in Michi-
gan have got in but light crops of wheat,
which is not worth over 81 cents per
bushel.' Light crops and low prices :
The New York Express well asks, what
has become of the good effects of the re-
peal Of our tariff and of the change in the
Corn Laws of England, both Of which
we were told would put up the prices OF
our produce! When is the advance to
commence ?-Richmond Whig.
The Somerset herald and farmers' and mechanics' register. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 183?-1852, 1846-09-01

The evident design here is 10 insinuate,
because the Tariff of AZ imposed high
er duties on such imported articles as
come in competition with the products OF
our own labor and lower on such as do
not, that therefore the Wing Tariff de-
slgnedly discriminates to make dear the
articles consumed by the Poor and to
cheaDen those consumed by the RICH:-
We despIse the mean-souled Williams who
could make that insinuation too intensely
to reply to their calumny. Every man
of them knows better-knows that no
such thought ever entered the heads OF
those who framed the Tariff of '42.-
There may be some who half ignorantly
repeat the slander, but IFS authors and
contrivers never drew an honest breath in
their. lives. To attempt formal reiuta-
ton of their deceit would be Identifying it
and them unwisely and unJustly. a Judge
on the bench might as well argue with a
convicted counterfeiter on the inutility
and impropriety Of counterfeihng as avo-
cation.
But the direct unmistakable ialsehoods
embodied in the table now going the
rounds of the journals, including some
which cannot be conscious parties TO the
fraud, demand exposure. The following
is the statement of the ACTUAL rates OF
duty imposed by the Tariff of 40 on the
articles above enumerated, as compared
with the rates:

FROM THE ARMY.

We have accounts from the Rio Grande
to the 10th instant, brought to New Or
leans. by the steamship New York.
Gen. TAYLOR left Matamoras for Ca
margo on the morning of the 9Th instant,
accompanied by about one-half the Tex
an regiment of infantry, and a few regu-
lars. The american Flag says his de-
parture was deeply regretted by all ranks
Of the people, as he had much endeared
himself to them by his frankness and ur-
banity.
Previous to his departure from Mata-
moras Gen. Tavlor had found it necessa-
ry, in order to put a stop to outrages COM
mitted at that place by persons under the
influence of drunkenness, to issue an or
der prohibiting the introduction Of spirit
uous liquors into the city, and iorbidding
the vending of them altogether after the
18th instant. In case liquors are seized,
they are sent to New Orleans and con6s-
Gated. Wines, cordials, ale, &c. are not
prohibited.
A skirmish had taken place near Ca
margo between large party of Indians
and some seventy-6ve or eighty rangers,
on account of depredations committed by
the former, in which the Indians lost
some twenty men, and the rangers two.
Speaking Of Gen. Taylor's movements
the Matomoras correspondent of the Plea
yune says:
Gen. Taylor aud staffleave here to-day
| for Camargo, and all the troops are tc
leave by about the 10Th instant. Gen
Twiggs is left to superintend the move
ment of the troops now here and thos
that are to arrive, for a while at least
He is in excellent health, and was neve
looking better. Col. Clark, of the ST
infantry, will be left at this place in com
mand, after all the troops have been for
warded, and will have two companies c
artillery and one regiment of volunteer
under him. Gen. Twiggs, with Cap
Mays four companies of dragons, an
Capt RidgeIy's battery of artillery, wi
bring up the rear as the army moves for
ward. Col. Hays regiment of mounte
volunteers and Col. Johnson's regiment c
foot-Texans-are to march tomorrow
All the regular troops now remainin
here, except Capt. Mays and Ridgely
commands, are also ordered to march tC
morrow. 1t is expected that the arm
will not move from Camargo before tn
25th instant. | do not choose to expires

fight with the Mexicans, but know it

deal to do in the matter if one occurs, tn;
