HE PASSAGE OF THE IARIFF-GrOdnS from
Pennsylvania The news of the passage of the
new Tariff bill by the Senate, seems TO have
been received in Philadelphia with alarm and
indignation by both parties. The Times, a
democratic paper, announces the news, with
black rules, as follows:
TREASON TO PENNSYLVANIA! The nfamy has
been consummated and by the vote of George
Mlttiln Dallas of Pennsylvania! The Old Key
stone has been blasted by the migrate hand of a
treacherous son. Like that of him who fred
the EPhesian dome, the fame of Geo. Nj. Dali
las shall be immortal-immoTtal to execraton
immortal to infamy. The Commonwealth that
had given him birth, life, favor, wealth, station
and power, called upon him TO stretch forth his
arm and save her; he has answered the call as
the assassin responds to the mercy cry of the
helpless. Alas! poor Pennsylvania! An EN-
pre- within herself, possessing more of the real
elements of wealth and greatness than the en-
tire Union besides, she has been sacrificed to the
dogmas OF the South-prostrated and trodden
down to earth by those who were pledged, oral
ly and in writing, to stand by her. The fraud
must be wiped out-REpEAL is the word and
we set the ball in motion, even though we stand
SOLITARY and alone" But we shall not be
alone. The rough stout arms of sixteen thous-
and iron-workers and miners, will roll or the
ball. nor will it stop till Justice has been done to
Pennsylvania.
The Times after complmenting the repre-
sentatives and Senators from that State, for
their efforts TO defeat the bill, concludes thus:
Tennessee! What shall Pennsylvania say to
her? We gave her President to whom she
refused her vote; she has given US, by the in
structions of her legislature, the envable ia
bleau of a ruined and digraced Commonwealth.
We'll may Pennsylvania eXclaim in the Ian
guage of the simple Thracian,
There are no gods in heaven!''
The Inquirer, Wing paper, says:
The intelligence from Washington, which
we publish this morning, IS we'll calculated to
startle and excite the people of Pennsylvania.
1t will be seen that the tariff of AZ has been
lost in the Senate of the United States, and by
the casting vote of the Vice President, the
Hon. George Nj. Dallas. The gentleman
named has assumed fearful responsibility.
He has deserted the interests of his native
State, aimed a blow at the prosperity of the
people of this Commonwealth, and committed
an act of political madness, from the effects of
which he can never recover. We repeat-he
has assumed a most fearful responsibility The
people of this Commonwealth will speak upon
this subject promptly, and liz tones of thunder
The u. S. Gazette, also Wing, has the fol-
lowing remarks on the subject:
The great crisis is passed, and the measure
toward which the attention of the nation has
been directed-the progress of which tens of
thousands have watched in fear and trembling
is virtually passed. The productive interest
of the country reaches its eliminating point
with its passage, and commences its downward
course with the action of the law which des-
troys the tariff of 1912.
We give elsewhere the record of the proceed
ings, by which the neiarious measure has been
carried into effect. 1t will be seen that to Penn.
sylvana, it has not only the deadly effect to
destroy her prosperity, but there is ingratitude
also added, TO make her cup of misery more
bitter, the blow which smtes her to the dust
having come from one of her own sons, whom
she has nurtured into honor and eminence, and
who has repaid her by desertion in the hour of
need.
The Chronicle, neutral, has the following
postscript:
Since the above was in type, we have learned
by the Magnetic Telegraph, that the last ray of
hope for the Tariff of '42, has been extingush-
ed! the fraud upon Pennsylvania and the coun-
try at large, has been consummated! and the
hypocrisy and trickery of the Democratic lead
ers in the campaign of IA: are now fully ex-
posed. Out upon such ypocrsy-vengeanc
for such treachery-such are the sentiments,
and such will be the action of an insulted, de-
ceved, and outraged people
