CANAL COMMISSIONER.

A new paper has been started at Johns
town, entitled the Democratic Courier,
which advocates the election of Job
Mann for Congress, and goes tooth and
nail against Foster for Canal Commits
sioner. The editor, Mr.. Devine, is a
spirited writer, and, being evidently well
informed in regard to the manner in which
the public works are managed, digs it into
the Board of Canal Commissioners right
and left. Among other things he says;
"Tis strange, but no less strange than
true," that, in many instances, the ap-
pointments made on the public improve
ments, seem to have been effected with a
view to discountenance capacity, intelli-
gence and worth and in reference to q
particular appointment at Johnstown, he
adds, "Mr FOSTER should have had some
little regard for the FEELINGS of those
necessarily compelled to come in contact
with the collectors of the public revenue. "
Surely, there must be something, or
rather a good many things, "rotten in
Denmark" or the Courier would not
dare to rap the Canal Board over the
knuckles after the fashion it does.

spite the North, and crushed the fifty.
iou-lorty men. They defeated the Har-
Dor and River Bill and withal strangled
that other darling of the West, the grad
ualion of the price, and the final cessiou,
of the public lands, 10 the States in which
they lie. In fine, the Southern Locofo-
COS have carried every measure, the Ia
riff of '46 included, on which they set
their hearts, whilst the Northern and
Western allies have gone begging, with
nothing to show for all their labors.-
They have been whipped and scourgeti
like SO many plantation slaves, and still
they whine and beg for mercy They
dare not rebel, and the more they are de-
spised. the more severely they arc lashed
the more humbly they kneel and dc no.
mage. And yet these cringing, suppl
ant, crouching tools, talk of further pro-
tec'ion to coal and iron. Powerless and
trampied down they could not effect tieir
object, even if they had the maniness 10
break their shackies and demand Justice
for suffering constituency. Let the peo-
ple trust not, therefore, to their false pro-
misses, but cling to and sustain Wings and
Wing principles, in whose success only,
can they hope for an amelioration Of their
condition.-Cumb. mid Cir.

THE ISSUE MADE Up.
FREE TRADE VS.. PROTECTION.
THE Tariff Of 40 Us. The TarD of AZ.

The last Genius has defined Mr.. Wey-
and's position.
"Mr. Weyand. {says the Genius
would advocate the Tariff law OF 1876
which discriminates in favor of Ameri-
can industry, and particularly in favor of
Pennsylvania interests" Again the Ge-
MUS says, mir. Weyand views the Tariff
law of 40, as very unequal in its opera
ton, unjust and oppressive 10 the people
generally" Mr.. Wevand is in favor Of
the Tariff of 40, then, because it is PAR
TrcuLARLY favorable TO Pennsylvania in
terests. Why really Mr.. Genius, this
appears as if YOU intend it to DC under
stood as ironical. Ii takes just THREE
FIFTHs the present duty oil of Iron
more than half the duty off of coal-and
this we are told is particularly favorable
TO PENNSYLVANIA. 1t takes off nearly
half the duty on wool costing over Z
cents per h., and nearly the same off ma
nv kinds of woollen goods; and this is
particularly favorable to farmers. Il great
lv reduces the protection on all mechanl-
cal productions, hats, shoes, read Y made
clothing, smithwork, and every thing else
produced By American industry, and this
is particularly favorable 10 mechanics!
Thomas Jefferson said "levy duties on
the articles YOU can make at home. LIGH-
TER al first, but HEAVIER and HEAVIER as
the supply at home increases" :" But
Walker and Weyand adopt just the re-
verse Of this rule, they say as the supply
increases at home make The duties LIGHT
rR and LIGHrER-reduce the duty to in
crease the revenue by increasing imports.
Which is right, Jefferson and Stewart,
or Walker and Weyand! Let the Farmers
and Mechanics decide this question on
the second Tuesday Of October as they
think best for their own interest.-Union-
town Democrat.

Those free trade politicians who
are endeavoring to pursuade men that the
protective system is injurious to their IN
terests, can have but poor opinion OF the
general intelligence of the people, whose
own experience & observation teaches them
the contrary. The past history Of our
country from the establishment Of It's GO
vcrnment down to the present day proves
their assertions false and bears witness 20
the beneficial effects which protective du-
ties have at all times had upon every
branch OF business III which our citizens
are engaged. This question has got to
be so well understood, that but few men
can any longer be misled in regard to It.
The shoemaker, for instance, who cannot
afford to sell pair of shoes for less than
So, knows if foreign article similar to
his own can be sold by his neighbor at
81 80, that he cannot compete with him,
for people generally buy where they can
get the cheapest article; but place duty
Of 10 cents upon the foreign article, and
you raise the price of it to 50 25-twen-
ty five cents above that of the domestic
one; and the shoemaker perceiyes at once
that he is benefited by this duty. being
now able 10 sell his shoes 25 cents cheaper
than the other, without reducing his price
one cent. This is the way in which all
our mechanics are benefited, III a greater
or lesser degree, by protective Tariff
They understand the practical operation
Of il, and consequently can no longer be
deceived by ine-spun free trade theories,
however plausible these may appear upon
paper.

THE DUTIES ON COAL AND IRON.

The party leaders in Pennsylvania are.
as we last week stated, at their cid game
Of fraud and deception. They duped
and swindIed the people once, by pro-
claiming Polk protectionist, and they
hope to do il again, with the false pre-
tence, that the duties on coal and iron VIII
be raised at the next session of Congress.
They know il cannot be done, but that
matters not, if they can win the prize,
the only one for which they play.-the
spoiIs Of Office.
This same game win doubtless be taken
up tv their brethren in this region, who
Just now would sooner hear Of arsenic
than pig metal or bar iron, and sooner
drink of assafetida than look into a coal
pit. Any thing but stone ceal and bar
iron for them; they have grown sick OF
the sight, and speedy death will be the
consequence.
Raise the duties on coal and iron. eh!-
The Southern Locofocos are supreme,
and they will never relent, no matter how
'intolerable' may be the suflerings, politi-
cal or pecuniary, of their Northern allies.
Not they: their doctrine is further re-
daction of the Tariff, such a reduction
too, as viii bring it down TO ''THE REvE-
NUE. STANDARD" Nor is this all: their
objection is aimed especially at the duties
on coal and iron, even now at 30 per
cent, too high, in their opinion, for reve-
nue..
The Charleston Mercury, of the Goth
of August, has an article on this very sub
iect, from which we make the following
extract:
ut the tariff is far too high on con-
siderable list of important articles, and
for Just revenue system too low on 9TH
ers. THE DUTIES on COAL, IRON,
woollens, wool, wines and some other ar
ticle ARE TOO HIGH for revenue. The ta-
riff too, in ordinary times, will produce
more revenue than the Government ought
to spend. At present it is needed, and
will be for several years, and until that
necessity disappears, there will be no es-
sential notification
We need scarcely remind our readers
! that the Mercury is Mr.. CALHoUN's s'or-
gam and speaks "by authority" for the
whole phalanx Of Southern, free trade
/ Locofocos. And what cannot these do

Fatal Accident.

On Tuesday of last week Mr.. HART
MAN BERG. of Somerset township, sud
denly lost his life while engaged in haul
ing timber for builing which he was
about erecting. He had just reached the
building ground with log, when wishing
TO move little further forward, the hor-
scs made sudden plunge and threw Mr..
Berg from his feet; and before he could
recover himself, he was struck on the tenn
pie by the end of the log and instantly
killed. The deceased was an industrious
man and good citizen.

SPEcULATING on UNCLE SAM.-It is

made out Of the necessities Of the United

counties. have sold nearly all their wagons,
