following from the Alexandra Gazette. The
compliment to the Whg party is well descrv-
ed, and the article itself is worthy OF every
mans attention, TO whatever party he may
bcong:-
THE WING PARTY.
Adversely tries parties as well as indivi.
duals, and we can Judge of them correctly
when tested by this standard. We desire
The people of the country to apply this touch
stone 10 the Uhig pary-and to see if they
do not merit respect and confidence, for their
devotion to principle, their patriotism and
their constant efforts in behalf Of the peace.
happiness. and prosperity Of the nation
Ever since the result Of the last Presidential
election, the Wings have been placed in Il
situation. in which their true ends and aims
could not fail To be shown openly and traced
accurately. Have they been found wanting
in any emergency Have they been factious
in their opposition to those in power' Have
they ever sacrificed the interests of their
country for political considerations? Have
they ever falIered in their support Of good
measures? Have they abandoned any Of
their own views for the sake Of mere popu'
Iarliy? An impartial and unpTejudiced en-.
quirer must answer al. these questions in the
negative.
AS they have acted, then, so they icW con
iinue to act trusting that the force of truth
and reason will vindicate their course and
make their cause triumphant Without the
means Of winning favor by the appliances
which POWER has at his command and always
uses so freely tor It's purposes, they can rely
only upon the intelligence andspatriolIsn Of
The people.
We believe the afectiona,e devotion which
the WHIGs have ever felt to their cause and
their party. has been rather increased than
diminished by the ordeal through which they
have passed. 1t has shown them clearly the
truth Of The principles they have adopted, and
the correctness of the positions they have
maintained. 1t has given their public men
stronger holds upon their gratitude. II has
encouraged them to hope and pcrsevere.-
And it has kept alive the spark Of The old fire,
which will yet be kindled up and blaze with
lis ancient brightness when tho proper time
comes for its display.

TARIFF IN pennsylvania.

Extract Of a letter, dated
WEsr CHESTER, (Pa) August 20, 1876.
"As you furnished me with statistics, you have a
property in the proceedings of our annual demo-
cratic county convention, held lately, which | for.
ward. They will be found on the third page-also
article worth reading the second, relative TO
vhig opinion on their doctrine.
''Some time since when saw that the business of
the tariff policy would be raised under this admins
traon, slight general view of the question satisfied
me that the democratic party would find It's original
foothold Of equality in the progress of the exami-
nation. The apparent drift of intelligent, candid
democrats everywhere, even in this iron and coal
State is satisfactory evidence that my first impress
sion was true. We need not be afraid TO meet the
issue face to face. The error now consists in the
assertion that this tariff Is just to other States, but
most unjust to ours, the ground that 80 per cent
will not project coal and iron; an error which is fast
disappearing from the facts deyeoping-to wit: that
a ton of pig can be made in Pennsylvania for Sl4-
in Wales for sll 50-whieh blows up the fallacy Of
more protection, word almost hateful TO my ears.
| would commend TO your notice yesterdays lead
ing article in the Philadelphia u. s. Gazette, the
whig organ in this State, touching coal. Il is sp-
plying the knife to the throat Of the tariff delasion
The editor is connected with the city government,
and knows something about the value of Nova SEQ
TIA coal, as believe they have been using It in Phil
adephia gas-works for years. He makes out Its
price IN Boston "a go per toni yet this calculation

besides, he puts the ehdl0n at 40 bushels instead Of
&c. With either correction, Nova Scotia coal will
stand in Boston over S.. The Ledger Of Pennsyl-
vania gives the cost Of putting ton Of our anthra-
cite from Port Carbon, by way Of Philadelphia, into
Boston, at So To- now allowing 81 so for Its worth
at the mine, and our coal raisers would make their
profit Besides, it might be said, supposing Boston
gets her coal cheaper than formerly, what hurt will
IL do the people there Ii is true tariff doctrine 10
have unarfed all that the manufacturer wants.
But you will find in the Gazette article Of 18th in
slant, the ample confession that Pennsylvania coal
can compete with any coal anywhere. The Union
should notice this.
al have spun out this letter too long for a man so
immersed in business as you Let me say that
your prediction that the subject Of protection will be
the main issue in l845 at the presidential election,
is correct beyond doubt. Let US have an acceptable
democrat nominated, and have the utmost conf
dence in the result. The crisis will then have
rived, and the wing party sunk still deeper under
the weight Of public Condemnation"

LATER FROM OREGON

A party consisting of ten persons arrived in our
city, on board tbeAmaranth, on Saturday evening
direct from Oregon city. They left Oregon on the
18th of April last, and reached St. Joseph, Nilsson.

route performed without interruption from
Indians, the occurrence of any serious accident
They bring nothing new from the territory in add
ton to what we have already published. The crops
in many parts had been cast and promised favora
BILE result. On the route n the party passed five
hundred and twenty-four emigrant wagons, mostly
intending to go to Oregon; portion, however, in
tended to over into California by the Salt lake
route. Col Russell's company, including Governor
Boggs and others, were met about one hundred and
fifty miles beyond Fort Laramie. This company
when they started, intended to go to California;
large portion have since determined to go to Oregon
and it is probable the whole company will go there
The general health of the country was, at the time
of the departure of this company, very good.
Medard G. Fosy, who served an apprenticeship
as pressman in this Office, and who has been some
time in Oregon, been member of the Oregon egis
lature, &c, had organized company of Canadians
and was to set out for California about the first Of
May. Mr., Foisy isa Canadian by birth, and goes
to California, as we understand, TO found COLONY
or make settlement on some ofthe branches of the
Rio Sacramento river. He is man of good dea
of enterprise, and in the event the United States at
tempt to take possession of the country he will be
with them.

As soon as the official returns are in, the governor
will issue his proclamation, and an election will be
held for State officers. II seems that owing to an
oversight on the part of the convention which FORM

A SENTINEL.

Lieut. Lee of the 9Th infantry, who arrived this
afternoon direct from the army, informs us that
General Worth, with his brigade, was on his way
to China, 60 miles beyond Camargo, This town
is an important depot, it being military post of the
enemy. There is no doubt of the town being, al
this time, in possession of the American forces All
the regular troops, with the exception of Mays
Dragons and Ridgey's battery,) numbering from
1900 to 1900 are at Camargo.
General Taylor is now at Camargo. II is sup
posed that he will proceed to Monterey with 6,00C
men, and the impression prevails that the enemy
will give him a fight at defile between Monterey
and Saltillo. We are requested to state that there
has been no meeting between the Cumanches and
