Another Vile Svyfndle!

The leaders of the locofoco party,
startled at the great opposition made to
the British Tariff bill by the organs and
people of their own party throughout this
State. have concocted another vile swim
die 10 betray Pennsylvania into the con-
tinued support of Polk and Dallas. The
prime movers of the Kane villany are the
active agents in the new scheme, and
just so sure as the one was fatally sue
cessful, so viii the other be if the least
countenance be given to 1t. The Phila-
delphia Pennsylvania, whose editor is a
iced Government office-holder, leads off
and begs that the democracy Will not for
sake their "party;" as he has s'assuran-

most favorable eye the wishes of Penn

CT communicating the following import
ant news:
Commodore Sloat entered the harbor
of Monterey, and on the 9Th of July is
sued his proclamation TO the inhabitants
OF California, calling upon them to re-
man peaceful, assuring them that he did
not come as the enemy of California, but
as their friend-that they are destined to
form part and parcel of the great federal
union of the United States, enjoying the
same rights and privileges as the citizens
Of those States.-They should select
their own civil officers and magistrates,
and enjoy all other privileges of freedom
OF which they are now part or wholly de-
prived. The revenue laws should be in
force in California as in the United States
by which means they, as Caliiornians and
members of the American Union, obtain
provisions and manufacturers of the u
nited States duty free, while all other i'm
ports would pay duty at least twenty
five per cent. less than is now levied on
the same articles by the laws of Mexico;
those who will not become citizens Of the
great American conlederacy, to depart in
peace with all their properly, provided
they lay down their arms and remain in
other respects neutral. He enjoins them
to retain their Alcades and other magis-
lrales til they should have better digested
the particular form of government they
wish 10 adopt, and have had time TO
elect other officers in their places. All
property of private citizens, and particu-
larly that of the churches, should be re-
spected; all supplies and provisions paid
for, on reasonable terms, and no private
property used for public purposes with
out proper compensation.
The proclamation is dated Savannah,
harbor of Monterey, and Signed John b.
Sloat, commander-in-chief of the U. S.
forces in the Pacific.

REDUCTION OF WAGES.

The Baltimore American says: "a re-
duction of the prices of labor is one of
the inevitable effects of the repeal of the
American Tariff of 1912, and of the SUBJ
stitution therefor Of Mckay's British Ia
riff Bill. The latter bill deliberately
takes away the sure protection to Amerl-
can labor which the Act of 1912 had so
happily and wisely raised around 1t, and
the hard-handed industry of our country
is left to sustain itself as it can against
the competition of the hall-led labor of
Europe. Although the British Bill does
not go into operation until the first Of
December next, il has already materially
affected the value Of various articles
Among the most prominent Of these is
Iron. We learn that Eastern manufactu-
rers who have heretofore been extensive
BUYERS in this market of Pic Iron at $40
to S32 per ton, are now offering but S25
for the same article. No definite price,
it is true, has as vet been agreed upon,
but is is clear that material reduction
must be submitted to. We further learn,
that in view of this condition Of things,
and the clouded prospects ahead, the pro-
prietors of all the Iron Works in and
about Baltimore, have reduced the wages
of their workmen 25 per cent. These
works give employment to about two
thousand men, whose labor. literally the
sweat of the brow. is thus reduced in val
ue by the reckless folly of the party in
power.'
