and committee Of fourteen--of which John H.
Brinton, esq, was chairman-reported series Of
orthodox and wel-written resolutions, which were
adopted by acclamaton. We make room for the
following extracts, regretng, at the same time, our
inability to give the proceedings entire:
"Resoiped, That the law modifying and equalizir,
the high restrictive duties of the act of lS42 passed
at the session of Congress just closed, demands
fair trial, matured as 1t was upon comprehenslU
survey Of agriculture, commerce, manufactures and
labor, and sustained by votes from all sections Of The
Union-east, west north, and south; that duties I'll
thirty per cent. large discrimination in favor
of the manufacturer, which will be increased by
freight, insurance. and other cost ten or fifteen per
cent. more; and that view it as libel upon
American enterprise and skill to assert that, with
such protection, of over forty per cent, aided by
eminent natural resources, they stand ou
against any competition whatever; that such Al
course in reference to this law is due not only O|
the public sentiment of the country as manifested
in Congress- but also to the lasting welfare and sue
cess of each and all of its great interests, ard mor
especially of the and coal interests of Pennsy
vana, in order that the actual operations Of the Law
| may be discovered and amended, if necessary, and
the tariff question thus be permanently settled upon
principles of right and justice and its frequent ag-
tation, so injurious to all affected by revenue
| laws, hereafter be avoided.
Resolved, That the attention of the whole coun-
try Is due to the recent correspondence, pub.

| Webster and leading manufacturers in New Eng.
| land, New York, and Pennsylvania, Representing
iron, COAL cotton, wooen, sugar refining, and other
protected interests, wherein u Is confessed and
serted that the high duties of the act of 1912
longer needed, and consent profered by the manu-
facturers themselves to large reduction; and that
the attention of the country is likewise due to the
project prepared by Mr.. Webster, in accordance
with such views, lowering the rates of that very
tariff; which compromise was rcpudiaed by whg
senators for no other apparent than that the
people could not be agitated to advantage, If they
were participants in such concession-a proceeding

"Resoiped, That we have undiminished confidence
in the integrity and patriotism of James X. Polk,
President of the United States that the thanks Of
the people due to his able and industrious cabF
net; and, as Pennsy yvanians, we are proud Of the
Secretary Of State, James Buchanan, whose CON-
manding abilities and unsullied character contribute
largely in support of the present democratic admin

"Resolusd That the Vice President, George NJ.

Senate the tariff bill, exhibited degree of moral
