W,snINGroN, July l2th. lNiG.
II. 8. MAssrR, ESQ -Doar Sn: A. the
new tariff hill is the subject of much Comment
throughout the country al this time, and parr.
cu'arIy in your own state, whose iHtcrestSarr
closely identified wi,h,he protective policy,
it see ms to ne an appropr ate occasion to make
Il i'w remarks upon the subject.
A. far as the lower branch of Congress is con.
Cerned, the fate Of the new bill has been deci.
G,d, not, however, wltkout jus, and deter.
mined resistance on the part Of the delegation
from pennsy ylvania With a SOLITARY exception
- that Of Wilmot from the Brad.ord district,
the delrgRi:oa gave it firm and decided op.
position, proving themselves, ns ,h"y have nj.
ways been considered, true friends to such n
tariff as will afford ample protection to all the
great Interests of the state
All eyes are now naturally inclined To look
10 the Senate Tor the preservation Of the thrift
ot 'i2 since the House has decided in favor of
Mr., Mckays bill. The state Of parties III the
Senate. upon this great measure, i, j. pretty
which will. consequently. throw the deciding
vote in the hands Of the Hon G. NJ. D,las. IN.
less the great Missourian, the Hon. Thomas II,
Benton, who has always been an advocate Of
to all American interests, gives it his opposition
You will perceive that all depends upon one or
the other Of the above named gentleman That
the new hill il left in the hands Of Mr.. Dallas,
wall become the law of the land, | am perfectly
satisfied, and that he is willing, If the contln-
gency occurs allHAad to, 10 aid in sacrificing
the means by which Pennsylvania has Just com.
mencnd prosperng, attaining position which
would be envied her by the greatest OF her
sister states, | am none the less convinced Of.
T, is useless and idle for any one TO indulge in
the delusive hope that Mr.. Dallas will stand
by Pennsy lvania N this crisis. lie never will
do it. HIS vote, it required to be given, will
be recorded in favor OF Mr.. McKsys bill, thus
dsregarding the expectations of the people OF
his own state. Were he to consult the wishes
the interes,s-the public credit Of the state,
The prosperity of it's citizens, and lhe devel-
opment of lis immense resources, why none
could doubt how his vote would be cast.
Pennsylvania must look TO another person
besides Mr.. Dallas for the defeat Of this bill
Hon. Thomas II. Benton, who, as I noticed
above is in favor OF specific duties and fair
and equal protection, is the person TO whom
she mus, now appeal for support. His states
