To the Editor of the Union:
If you will note particularly the returns of western
Pennsylvania, you will find that we have given at least
the usual democratic vote with the exception OF one OF
Wesnoreland, Beaver Butler Mercer, Crawford, Venan
co. and Others have given as large maotes in the agge
gate they did for MIR. Polk in 1874 The only remark
able exception is Allegheny, which is easily accounted
for Johnston received about 2,700 majority
worth and the Legislative and county ticket about 1900
which between 800 and 400 less than Mr. Clay received
in 1874 The reason of Johnston being 500 ahead is
that he received the native and free soil vote, which for
Congress was $50 Here is the whole mystery
for the native abolition wing candidate, by native aboli-
ton votes--by concentrating all the in the State
Wlinotsm and aii--and perhaps some democratic votes
in the iron and coal countless the central and eastern
portions of the State.
We have doubtless gained member of Congress CAL

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. 7, 1S48.
On the Both of May last the exchange OF Qualifications
of our treaty with California became part of the
American Union in consequence of which, various ques-
tons have presented by merchants and collectors for
the decision of this department.
y the constitution of the United Sate it is decla red
that aH treaties made which shall be made under the
authority United States,
OF THE LAND" BY the treaty with Mexico California is
annexed this republic and the constitution OF the United
States is extended that territory and in full force
throughout its limits Congress Also by several enacens
subsequent the ratification of tho treaty. have distinctly
recognised California as part OF the Union and have ex-
tended in several important particulars the laws Of
the United States.
Under these following instructions
issued by this department..
lst All articles of the growth produce, manufacture
of California, shipped hereom at time since the 3Oh
May last entitled to admission free OF duty into all the
ports of the United States.
I'd. All articles OF the growth produce manufacture
of tho United Sates entitled admission free of duty
into California also all foreign goods which
empt from duty by the laws of Congress- which
goods the duties prescribed by those laws have paid
any collector of the United States previous their
PRODUCTION into California.
3D. Although the constitution OF the United States extends
California and Congress have recognised it by law
part of the Unon and egsated for it such yet it is
brought by law within the limits of any collection district
has Congress authorized the appointment of any Off
duabe goods into that territory. Under these crcum-
Stances although this department may be unable collect
the duties accrung importaons from foreign countries
into California yet foregn dutiabe goods should be

the penalties prescribed by law when such importation
attem pied without the payment of duties.

The prospects are, however, bright. We have gained
brilliant victory in Ohio, in far reducing the whig

reduce the wing governor to less than 5O0perhaps carry
