| IHE PASSAGE OF THE TARIFF BIL-SOme
Of the Effects The news of the passage of the
new tariff has been received in all quarters with
regret, and in Pennsylvania, especially, the in.
dignation expressed borders on resentment.
The Philadelphia Eagle of yesterday, which is
clad in mourning on account of its passage, has
these paragraphs:
Effects Of The Bill. An extensive manufacto-
ry in kensington, we have Just learned, intends
dischargng fUe hundred hands on Saturday
next, now employed, in consequence of the
passage of Mckay's tariff bill.
Several large mercantile firms in this city,
are reported as having suspended business; and
also large manufacturing establishments at Ma
nayunk, Trenton, Pottsville, and elsewhere
Where the end will be, time alone can tell
A Wight for the TeIegraph-Httng in EGgyi
George M. Dallas, Pennsylvania S recreant son,
was found suspended upon the wires Of the
Magnetic Telegraph yesterday morning, in
Market street, below Seventh.
The Wilmington, Del, Republican says:
Nine hands have been discharged from one
of the machine shops in this city, in conse-
quence OF the paralYzing effect of the agitation
of the tariff question, and several more are ex-
pecting to be discharged.
From one of the foundries, five hands have
been discharged, and Others daily expect the
same fate.
The Philadelphia Times, speaking of the
passage of the bill, says:
So far as we can Judge by the expressions of
opinion heard on all hands in this quarter, it
will be more disastrous than most people have
imagined; yet we feel bound to make MANY al
lowances for the excitement which pervades all
classes, and to hope that when it is allayed, the
prospect will be less gloomy. But we cannot
disguise our fears for the iron business of the
Commonwealth. From the knowledge we have
of that branch of Pennsylvania industry, we
know that our manufacturers cannot compete
with England Scotland and Wales. The du-
ty upon ton of iron under the new bill will
not, on the average exceed eleven dollars. Iron
can be landed on our wharves for from fifteen
to twenty-five dollars per ton cheaper than it
can be manufactured at our nearest mills and
brought here. This we know, and so know
ing, we have but little hope that our manufac-
turers can continue operations for any length
of time.
Repeal is the word Take it up Democrats!
echo it iron men! echo it miners and laborers!
shout it mechanics! There shall be no rest. no
reposing until this British tariff bill is repealed!
The Philadelphia Chronicle is out on Mr..
Dallas, for his casting vote, in severe terms.
1t says:
We hope the press and the people, in all parts
of Pennsylvania, will speak plainly on this sub
ject There is no use in mncing words The
man has done an incalculable amount ofeyil.
and he has done it wilfully. Let his conduct,
then, be characterized as it deserves to be- Let
him be tied up to the whipping post of public
opinion, and scourged so long as any vigor re-
mains in the pens or the voices of those he has
ruined Working men of Pennsylvania, arise!
and mechanics and laborers-you who till
the fields, and you who toll in forges, and sweat
in furnaces-gather together in your strength,
and denounce this man, who has contributed to
destroy you. Speak to him in tones of thun-
der, of his peIfdy-teach him that you will not
be robbed with impunty.
