A MEETING OF PENNSYLVANIA IRON
MASTERS, The iron masters Of Western
Pennsylvania held meeting last week, in
Pittsburgh, to take into consideration the
depressed condition Of the iron trade. A
committee made a report showing the state
of the trade for the last thirty years, and
attrlbuting the prosperity and depression
of the iron business to the various tariffs.
The report says:
From these facts the Committee are
brought 10 this inevitable conclusion that
as iron and labor are protected by an ade-
quate duty on imports, those Interests
flourish. That as that protection is with.
drawn, they languish and die. Your Com
mittee, therefore, tender for consideration
the following:
ResoIred, That the present depressed
state of the iron trade has its origin, and
is entirely caused ky the low rate of duty
which English iron is admitted into this
country under the tariff law of 1916, and
IFS injudicious ad valorem principles.
ReSotUed, That five sixths Of the value
of pig iron consists of labor, and as this
labor can be procured in England at less
than one third Of what ii usually commands
in good times in this country, we, in the
United States can never compete with the
English iron-masters, except by reduc-
: ton of labor 10 the pauper rates of that
country, or protection from its competition.
RcSolued, That il is not the wish of any
of this meeting, and we hope of no Amer.
lean, TO see the rates of labor in this hap
py country reduced to the rates of poverty
in Europe.
Resoired, That TO insure different and
more happy state of things among US, the
labor OF this country, including all its min.
eral and agricultural products, must be
protected in our markets from the redun-
dant labor Of other countries.
Rcsolred, That we, and each of us,
pledge ourselves to use the utmost Of our
excrtions to procure such protection, which
can only be secured by a duty of specific
values.
ReSoIrcd, That it is the duty of the
iron men aud agricuturisls in Western
Pennsylvania and elsewhere, 10 hold meet
ings in their different counties, aud oTga-
Mise, for the purpose of petitioning Con
gress for change from the present ad Va
loren 10 a system of specific duties of ad-
equate protection to the labor of the coun-
try.
Resolccd, That this meeting recommend
a Convention of the Furnace owners, of
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and Ken.
lucky, to be held at the city of Pittsburgh,
on Wednesday, the 2lst of November next,
to take into consideration all necessary
and further action on the premises.

Our Borough authorities have been busily
engaged during the summer in repairing our
streets, and they are now without question in
better condition than they have been at any
time heretofore. The public square has also
been repaired in an excellent and substantial
manner, and presents striking contrast to its
former rugged appearance. The exercise OF
4 proper economy has demonstrated that $1,000
now go as far, if not further, than $1,000 did

Grnernl TAYLOR ami The Clergy.

While the President was in Harrisburg he
was waited upon in 4 body by the Reverend
Clergy of the borough. They were introduced
by the Rev. Mr. Cor, Of the Episcopal Church,
who, after presenting the different gentlemen,
addressed the President 70 the following effect:
SlR: The Clergy Of Harrisburg have called
in a body to tender you their respects, and they
desire 10 express TO you their high consideration
for yourself, a man, and Tor your Office.
Your past experience in the evils Of war j. our
surest guaranty that you will labor to secure 10
this nation the blessings Of peace. We trust
that your administration will be SO guided by
wisdom from above as will ensure the welfare
and the prosy yerity Of the people oil these United
States. And for yourself. personally, SIR we
desire happiness. We welcome YOU to our bor-
ough, and hope that your visit here and through
out our State viii be both pleasant and agreea-
bic"
To this address Gen. Taylor responded in the
following words
u thank you, gentlemen, for your kindness.
My life for more than forty years has been spent
on the frontier OF our country. Wherever there
has been the most Of hardship and the most Of
danger, the Government has seen tit 10 require

have ever been ayersC TO war; and in INV ncgO-
datIo0s with hostile Powers, as IN advising with
the Government, ] have ever advocated paCihc
| measures. 1t is natural for people to rejoice
IN victory but all the glories of victory cannot
compensate for the losses that come upon indi-
viduals. Triumphs will not make up to parents
for the loss of their sons to the wife for the
loss of her husband TO the child for the loss
Of its parent. We must bring war home 10 the
hearth-stone TO appreciate all its horrors. But
while | confess my aversion to war, yet | must
also declare my purpose to defend the country
against all aggression5; and | would that all
! that is dear 10 ne should perish, rather than
any wrong should be done to our free institu-
tions Ny reception in your State has been
most cordial, and the hearty welcome of this
day, especially, shall never be forgotten"
The interview then closed, and the Reverend
gentlemen retired.

VALUE OF LAND.-NTc copy below a notice
Of the safe oftwo farms in Maryland, both with
in few hours sail Of the city markets, whicE
were sold at about SCI and IS per acre. The
land in the ncighborhood of CentrevnIc is well
adapted to raising grain, &c, has every advan-
tagc for sending produce to market, and yet is
sold at price less than that paid for most Of
our sterile mountain tops In any part Of this
State east of the Allegheny, though hundreds
Of miles from q city market and with no means
Of getting there unless by wagon or tedious
voyage on canals, similar lands would be con-
sdered cheap at Sl5 per acre. An injudi-
cious system of cultivation and slavery make
the difference.
SALE or LAND.-The farm of the late T..
w. Hopper, of 600 acres, was sold by p. b.
Hopper, Jr., Esq, the Trustee. on Tuesday last
in Centrevillc, for S3,909-the farm lies on
the mail road to Easton, about miles South
from Centrevilc.
On Tuesday, the lIth inst, the farm Of the

DREADFUL ACCTDENT.-An accident of
the most distressing nature occurred IN our
village on Friday afternoon last, by which
a little boy, between and years of age,
son of Isaiah FULLERTON, was instantly
killed. This little boy, and another one Of
about the same age, son Of VIM. Morgan,
were in wagon, the horses took fright
aud started at full speed, upsetting the wa
gon aDd throwing the children out, killing
one instantly, and slightly iniuring the 9th
er. Let this sad affair serve as a sautary
caution TO those who are in the practice
of driving horses and wagons through our
streets. There is entirely too great dis
regard of life in this respect.-Ctedrfeld
Paper.
1t seems to US that more censure ought to be
applied to parents who suffer their children to
stroll about the streets all day, than to the dri-
vers Of wagons, &c. The latter, it is true,
ought not to suffer them to get on, but at the
same time parents ought to charge their off
spring to keep aloof from the dangerous prac-
tice of hanging to or getting on wagons in the
streets.
