CHARLES GIBBONS. ESQ.

Most of our readers, we presume, have
not forgotten the valuable services which
this gentleman rendered to the Wing par
" pending the Gubernatorial and Presi-
Dental elections of 1914, and will there
fore be surprised 10 learn that several
Whig journals in the city Of Philadel-
phia have arrayed themselves in opposi-
ton TO him for his liberal and honorable
course in the Senate, on the subject of
granting. the "right of way to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
Philadelphians, often short-sighted and
always selfsh-are at this time exerting
their utmost influence TO defeat that nea-
sure. and one of their Senators, Mr..
Crabb, is using all his powers of per-
suasion to give it the go-by in the Senate;
while Mr.. Gibbons is pursuing contra
" course. from an honest conviction, no
doubt, that in so doing nc viii be promo
ting the best interests of the Common
wealth and Of her citizens at large. In
that course Mr.. Gibbons will be sustain
ed, not only by the Wings in the interior
Of the State, but by the liberal Of all par
ties everywhere. That he should be de-
nounced by the city papers opposed to
him in politics, was 10 have been expect
ed; but that Whig journals should try to
PROSTATE him, is indeed surprising. Such
ungenerous conduct ought not and will
no; be suffered TO pass unrebuked. Hlth-
erio Philadelphia has been much favor
ed in our State legislation, and in return
for those faEers, whenever other sections
ask to be similarly treated, her citizens
combine to defeat everything that does not
exactly meet their own selfish views, and
would even sacrifice one of their best
men to accomplish their purpose. 1t is
time that Philadelphians should be made
to know and feel that they constitute but
asmaIl portion of the population of the
State, and that they cannot, therefore, en-
ti-ely- control her legislation.

Westnsorelasad County.

A lBrge number of the citizens Of West
moreland County, friendly to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, assembled in
public meeting. at the Court House, In
Greensburgh, on Tuesday evening, the
18th inst, and after organizing and ap-
pointing committee TO prep are resolu-
tions. adjourned till l o'clock =. NJ, On
Wednesday, at which time the committee
reported series of spirited resolutions
which were adopted by the meeting, and
from which we select the following
RESOLVED, That we are una BILE to
perceive any just cause why our Legisla-
ture, at its present session, should not
pass Bills or Acts incorporating compa-
nv to construct a Rail Road which would
complete, by means of its connection, the
route between Philadelphia and Pittsburg;
as also to grant the right of way TO the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company
to pass through this State to the City of
Pittsburgh, under such restrictions as
they in their wisdom, should deem meet
imposed upon such company, so as not
to prohibit them from a ccepting of their
provisions.
RESOLVED, That we fear as well as re-
gret that the excitement and bad feeling
now between the people Of the Western
part of the State and the city of Philadel-
phia, on the subject Of granting the right
Of way to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, will eventually result in sepera-
ton of the ties which have heretofore
bound us to her, and induce our Western
merchants to seek new commercial rela-
tions in the East.
On motion, Of Wash Murry,
RESOLVED, That Western Pennsylva-
MIA is highly indebted to Chas. Gibbons,
Esq, Of Philadelphia city, for his vigor-
GUS and able support OF the policy OF
/ granting the "right of way" to the Balti-
/ more and Ohio Rsilroad Company.

The National Intelligencer of the 18th
says;-The debate in the SENATE upon
the Oregon Question was yesterday con-
tinued by Mr.. Hannegan, in favor of the
notice. After he concluded, Mr.. Colquitt
obtained the floor, and is entitled next to
address the Senate. 1t seems to be doubt
ed whether the debate will become gener-
al; and it appears to be generally under
stood that there is no probability of any
hasty decision by the Senate upon the
question.

FROM WASHINGTON.
A New Tariff HsiIl.

In the House of Representatives on the
10th inst, Mr., Garret Davis moved the
following resolution:-
Resolved, That the project of bill to
establish the rates of duties on goods,
wares, and merchandise which NAV be
imported into the United States, lately
submitted by the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury TO the Committee Of Ways and
Means, be printed for the use of the
House; and that said committee be and
they are hereby instructed to furnish the
Clerk of the House with copy Of the
same, to be printed.
Mr.. Davis at the same time moved the
previous question. so as TO cut off debate,
and to take the resolution without the
rule, under which it was subject to be
laid over for debate.
Mr.. HARRISON inquired if the commit
tee had submitted TO the House any report
on the subject of the tariff.
Mr.. Mckay, chairman of the commit
tee, answered in the negative.
Mr. Rathbun moved that the resolution
be laid on the table.
The yeas and nays on this m otlon were
called for from various quarters OF the
House, and were ordered.
And the question being taken that the
resolution do lie on the table, it passed in
the affirmative, l03 to 60.

HON. ANDREW stewart.

!, We were informed the other day by
a gentleman from Obey township, that
several of his Locofoep neighbors who
had Mr.. Stewards admirable speech on
the Tariff, published by us a week or
two ago, wefe so well pleased with ii
that they declared and insisted in good
and solemn earnest that Mr.. S. belonged
TO THEIz PARTY. We beg leave to set
these gentlemen right. The Hon. AN
DREW STEWART is citizen OF
Fayette county, and represents the 18th
Congressional District, composed of the
counties Of Fayette, Somerset and Green.
He is a DEMocRAT, OF THB RIGHT SORT
firm, true, unflinching, thorough-going
DEMOCRATIC WHIG. We regard
him as the best man in Congress from
this State ,sfor whenever the interests of
Pennsylvania are attacked, Mr.. STEW
ART is on the floor, battling hand to
Thanksgiving blow for blow-and con-
testing, inch by inch, every foot of ground
upon which the tariff Of lS42-now en-
phaticalIy the VINO TATIFF-resis for
support. We are not surprised that his
plain. common sense speeches and argu-
ments have won all hearts, and gained
him hosts of friends from his political op-
ponents. The time may come when the
people Of Pennsylvania will have it in
their power TO show their sense of his
worth by elevating him to the highest
office in their gift, and we trust that when
that time arrives they will not fail TO dc
their duty to him, as he is now doing his
duty so manfuliy to them.-Readine

The Philadelphians, on account of the
pertinacity of the west, in claiming a
share of the advantages of legislation are
now agitating the propriety OF having a
sepcrale State or sovereignty formed out
of the territory lying between the rivers
Delaware and Schuylkill. Their only
objection is, TO taking so much of Berks
county in, although including OIey.-
Could they succeed in this, they would
ehectualIy shut themselves off from the
''outside barbarians" west of their vision
that is; as far as the eve can carry
from Fairmount -PiHsburg american.
f|We object to Oley being included
in the new Sovereignty" The people
of that ''green spot''are too liberal in their
views to be hitched to anything that is
more selfish and contracted than Old
Berks itself. Let Oley be established as
an independent district, or what in Ger
many they call "Freisfadi," and il
will take care of itself; while the balance
of the county will be well yokcd in being
placed alongside of Philadelphia.
