The President on Protection.

The Commercial journal of Pittsburg indirectly ad
mi,s the truth of the statement which has been attribute
to its editor Mr. Riddle II denies that the telegraph
despatch came from that gentleman himself, whilst
does not deny the correctness of the statement On tn
contrary, the Journal says that "Mr Riddle is in Wash
ington city, and has been for some time " and proceed
in the following terms:
That Mr.. Riddle should have held conversation lau
ded to in the despatch) with General Taylor on the ,up
of the tariff quite reasonable suppose, since it is kn0"
that the vital interest of the mining and manuactufn1
operations of Pennsylvania and especially that poon

ec That General Taylor should readily give his oplnion
is also quite naturally be expected, he seeks mol
conceal his views any question touching the PoicY
government and, that Mr.. Riddle should state the '~
stance of his conference with the President this gO
measure to such of his wing iren ds-assembled from
parts OF the Unon-as were anxious know the views

As to the views of the Presiden, the tariff, we ID

We agree VIZ. The Journal in its differences, and %

The returns are not yet complete but the result is suf
cently ascertained to show that have been ingor
ously defeated The True Sun says: The majority Of
the wings for mayer we'll be less than $780, and
this caused by falling off in the democratic vote In nine
wards only the democratic vote is 1899 less than il was
one year ago We are unable TO say how the common
council has gone It is probable, however that both
boards will be whig. In the 4th ward we elect demo.

Defeat was inevitable under such circumstances.
We have been shameiuly defeated by the unfortunate

two defeated sections of the democratic party are layn

WESTERN ENrERPRIsE-It is source of wonder and
astenshment not of surprise, to behold the gigantic
strides which the West IS making IN the great improve
ments OF the day. Among the most important and ma
tional undertakings in which her citizens have embarked
is the building of railroad from Cincinnati to ST. Louis
An undertaking which, Judging from the spirit which
charcterZeS those more Immediately interested des
tined 10 succeed at very distant time. On the oath OF
illinois was held in RIchIand county, OF that Slate, for
the purpose OF consulting the proper rourse to adopt
in regard to the SOHO, and Mississippi railroad" The
committee appointed for the purpose reported strong
utons and address, setting forth the paccabi,y and
utility of the project They recommended that the road
should commence at Cincinnati, and running through In
diana and Illinois, terminate Tor the present at St Louis
But in of their resolutions the idea of continuing it
further is advanced ltsays, " project OF railroad
from St Louis to California is a matter of immediate
consequence TO the western States and 10 the whole
country and we believe it practicable probable and de-
manded by the necessities OF our California brehreA and
the best interests of the American people"
The report adopted proceeds to calculate the chances
for the of the enterprise. The road, it is sup
posed, be made at cost OF about hive millions OF
dollars, and with subscription of three millions to com
cy. 1t is proposed raise This three millions fol-
lows; from the city OF Cincinnati, one millions from
the county of Hamilton, one-haf million; Indiana
and Illinois, about half million each and the city of
ST Louis, half million. That these can be raised
there to be little doubt. On last Saturday
vote of the citizens OF Cincinnati was taken TO whether
that city would subscribe the million of dollars asked
its proportion, and the proposition was carried by i'm
mense majority.
Should this enterprise succeed, and the road be COM
peted through TO st. Louis it will present mag
nfcent spectacle. man may then leave Cincinnati
after breakfast the morning and take tea in St Louis
the same evening Thus passing, IN one day, over an
amount of territory which has often required twenty
boats, requires not less than three or four
