Canal Commissioners.

A letter from a friend, who has travelled
through this State, and spent some time in ev.
cry village between Philadelphia and Erie,
says ,ha. James M. Power will assuredly be
elected Canal Commissioner; and if the eastern
par, Of The Stale should do lis duty, his maiori-
ty will be very large.
The eastern par. Of the State uiH do its duty.
1t is generally known that Mr.. Power, with all
the properties of an honest, industrious man,
has the further qualification of intimate acquain-
tance with The construction of railroads and ca
nails. We ough, not, then, TO doubt, that he
will receive majority of votes.
But in addition 10 all this, it will be borne in
mind that the office of Canal Commissioner is
the only one to be filled this fall, by the vote
Of the people at large; and the opportunity is
now presented for the people of Pennsylvania,
to make demonstration Of their opinion upon
the subject of the Tariff OF 40, and that of 40

Highly Important from Nauvoo.

IKE CITY DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF
THE ANTI.MoRMoNs.
From the officers and passengers Of the Al
varado, We gather the following particulars:
Steamboat Avarado arrived at the landing
this morning from Keokuck. She brings down
a large number Of Mormohs, who have aban-
doned the Holy City after all the troubles and
difficulties.
After much skirmishng and several persons
being killed during Sunday, and the three days
following, on Thursday the Anti-Mormons en-
tered the city in very large body, and all
completely armed.
A parley was held. which resulted in a de-
mand that the Mormons and all in the city en-
gagged in the troubles, should leave Nauvoo
within five days, and a, once deliver their per-
sons, arms, ammunition, and the city itself, into
The hands of the Anti -Mormons.
This was at las, complied with, but whether
from fear, inclination, or mere desire to avoid
bloodshed, we have not yet learned. The An
MOrmOnS Inen tOOk possession Of every 'nihs,
and, Of course, in contradiction of The late or
ders of the Governor of Illinois, and contrary
10 law Immediately the Mormons began to
leave the city. large number started on the
Alvarado, and many on the Potosi.
On the opposite shore we understand that the
people, or authorities of Iowa had inIerfered to
prevent those leaving from entering rha, Terri
tory. They must consequently come 10 this
city, and from here scatter abroad.
| We also learn tha, the Temple will be allow
ed TO remain unharmed, but we much doubt
this, and should not be surprised if the next ar
rival brought news of the destruction of this
beautiful building, as we'll as the dwelling o.
Emma Smith.
1t is but right to state, however, ,ha, thus fa
no violence has been done either to the people
or 10 the building or property and we sincere
ly trust ,ha. we may not be compelled to chron
icle any news TO the conlrary.--St. Louis Or

The Tariff upon Iron.

A warm discussion is now going on between
the Richmond, Va, papers as TO the effect Of
the tariff upon their iron works. In the course
of the argument, some facts have been elected
that we would commend to the attention of the
iron workers of Pennsylvania. The Richmond
Times argues that the iron interest, Of Virginia
will be protected better than that of the other
States, from the fac. that.
" The greater cheopness Of sldue labor, which
is used in Virginia, enables the furnaces 10 turn
out the best charcoal iron, at as low price as
the Pennsylvania furnaces can turn ou, their
anthracite iron, ,hich IS uorth from three TO fue
dollars per ton less than the former"
Thus the white Pennsylvania laborer sees
that in order to keep his work, he must come
down to the slave labor and slave pay of Vir.
ginia, and be content with his peck Of corn a
week and bacon, with no cup Of tea at night
nor molasses in his waller. A black ironwork.
er is maintained at cos. of sl20 per year, in
Virginia. while the white laborer of Pennsylva
mia earns from the iron master, $500 a year
Now slave labor is not going TO rise, but 10 save
the business, white Pennsylvania labor mus
come down. The iron maker of Pennsylvania
must live on the coarse bread of the Swedes
and the cheap and scan,y food of European
iron makers, if they would keep the trade; ant
unless they do this, The slave iron makers
alone, will be able 10 keep the field.
Two competitors now meet the white Penn
sylvanian the southern negro, and the Euro
pean serf We wish him Joy, if he voted fo
