From the PhiLade lphia Ledger
The Money Market.

In almost every resolution passed by
the Convention of Manufactures. held at
Trenton last week, for the purpose of ur-
0lng upon the attention of Congress,
through higher duties, more protection Of
domestic manufactures, we find an aSSu-
rance Of how much better off the farmers
are under system of high duties than
when allowed the freedom of the market
of the world. Cons lderlng that the Con-
vention was composed exclusively of man
ulacturers, the farmers, merchants and
mechanics not having been honered by
even mention in the call, This declaration
by the convention is modest, 10 say the
least. The patronising manner in which
the manufacturers propose 10 quietly in
sInuate their fingers into the pockets of
those employed in agricultural pursuits,
patting them the while encourageinglyo on
the back. with the assurance how advan-
tageous it is for their interest, might be
taken as good joke. but for the more seri-
Gus consequences thot might grow from
permitting it to pass unrebuked. The
farming interests of the Union is awake
10 this matter Of markets, and understand
the effects of protection and prohib btion
upon their own pursuits quite as we'll as
the manufacturers canseli them, and will,
we have no doubt, take care 10 be fully
heard in Congress. Some idea of the
character and value of the Lake trade,
which is only one of the agricultural out
| lets to the market of the world, may be
/ formed from a paragraph in the Buffalo
Commercial of Nov. 9th; which states thai
on the evening previous, l5 steamers, =
propellers, 2 brigs, and 81 schooners hat
arrived in that port, bringing 100000 bar
rels of flour, 10000 bushels of wheat, SOC
live hogs, $500 boxes of cheese, and large
quantities of other produce. This is some
thing for one day. 1t is also noticed tina
I the propeller Illinois, at the same time, was
on her way down, 4,445 barrels of floul
and 2,ll4 bushels of wheat; equal to $50
tons of merchandise; and the steamer EN-
pire State was on her way down, with
1000 barrels of flour, said to be the larges
cargo ever brought in one vessel. So large
an interest as is indicated by the move
ments, it is not probable will be trusted tC
the guardian protectlonship of the manu-
facturers of New Jersey.

Russia and The Ottoman Porte.

Whatever may have been the ultimate
views of Russia when she imperatively
demanded the extradition of the Hungari-
an prisoners, and threatened III case they
were not delivered up, to regard it as a
cause of war against the Porte; she seems,
by the last arrival, TO have greatly changed
her tone. She finds she is not the arbiler
Of all Europe, though she has just sue
ceeded i'll forging chains for a proud and
noble race; race, be il remembered, TO
whom free representative constitution of
their own had been for years accorded,
and which had been basely violated by
the intrigues and perfdy of the house of
Apsburgh. Although England and France
had supinely looked on when she poured
her battalions into the heart Of Transyl-
vania and Hungary, to maintain the inte-
gritty of the Austrian Empire and with 1t
the balance of power in Europe-she now
finds when she assumes, as she has done
of late, the dictator, and seems to aim at
the subjugation of neighboring kingdom,
or at least of its DanuDian provinces, that
France and England rise up TO resist her
encroachments, and if need be, to oppose
bv force of arms a barrier TO her ambition.
Well may she pause-well may she with
draw her naughty mandate to the Turk,
if by perssting in her demands she draws
down upon herself the coniederated pow
ers of Europe. Where could she look
for allies! Is it 10 Austria, who has so
many rival interests, SO much cause TO
dread her increasing power, and the bor-
ders OF whose empire open so many points
10 her invasion! Is it to Prussia, Bavaria
and the other powers of Germany, who.
widely imbued with liberal spirit, have
in the hearts of the people no sympathies
with the despotic views ofthe Car? Is ii
to Italy, whose aspirations, though sup
pressed by the bayonets of foreign pow
ers, are for the widest liberty-to Italy,
ever jealous lest Russian fleet should
float upon her seas! Would the crowned
heads of Germany dare to engage in a
war IN The cause of Russia, when the
French revolutionary armies would invade
:! their soil, and raise the battle-cry of free

civilization-that properly appreciates and
comedies TO man his true position on earth.
Under its influence our country has grown
and prospered in ratio approximated by
no other country on the face of the earth.
Ours is truly the 'smodel republic" and
is influence, and the influences of the
Democratic party, are being felt the world
over. The seeds of epublicanism are be-
ing sown in all Europe, and sooner or la
ter we shall see the good fruits. Our own
truly Republican Government, founded and
perfected by the American Democracy, is
the 'cloud by day and piler of fire by
hight" that leads on the friends of human
liberty in all Earope.
Our late victory, in many respects, was
one of the most important, as well as one
of the most brilliant, that we have achiev-
ed in many years. OuI opponents, in
some parts of the Union, were really be-
ginning OF regard Pennsylvania as whig
State. Our late triumph will make them
sensible of this delusion. 1t is well
timed rebuke to arrogant federalism. The
Regency at Washington, will begin to
think that their day of destruction is al
ready al; hand. They cannot misunder.
stand such denominations from the people.

Spread of the Annexation Feeling in Canada.

The Toronto Ca Independent, of the
10Th instant has letter from correSpon-
dent in Missisquo, which says:-"The
feeling Of annexation is rapidly gaining
ground here. In fact but few are opposed
10 it, and the alliance S secretly favored by
many who, openly, pretend to be neutral.
This county has hitherto been famed for
Loyalty, but the old sentiment has been
completely undermined. The mosl.. ..intelIi-
gent of the conservatives and open annex
atonisls, and our liberals have long leaned
southwark, and are too independent and
sapacious TO submit to the dictation Of the
ministry. AS soon as Montreal .leads off
in the formation of an association, we
shall follow suit The bordering coun-
ties-Shefiord RouvilIe- are equally we'll
affected towards the cause. The south
ern portion Of the latter county suffered
much for lis loyalty during the rebellions;
but the very men who stood up Tor the
integrity of the empire then, are now
equally resolved to seek its dIsmember-
ment. The border counties OF Lower
Canada are poor compared with those
separated from them by an imaginary line.
This fact is pregnant with irresistible ar
gument. We are determined TO enjoy
the same advantages that our nelghbors
do. In Stanstead and Sherbroke, the
people are clamorous for the southern al
lance. In fact, the eastern township

Pictorial Brother Jonathan.

This mammoth sheet of Pictorial illus
tratlons intended for the coming holidays
has been received, and we must say that
1t far exceeds any of its predecessors that
we have seen in point Of design and beau
ty of engravlngs. The large engravings
of "Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet and the
pleasures, Troubles and Miseries of
Christmas in New York" are valuable
and spirited pictures, and are alone worth
the price of the paper. There are besides
a number of others of nearly equal merit.
The price remains as usual IL cents each,
or ten copies for one dollar. Address

Easily Satisfied.

The Johnstown Ne,cs, in speaking OF
the recent election in New York, breaks
out in the following language:
'The wings of New York have only
got both Houses Of Legislature ard ec-
ery thing else they ,canted! Hurrah for
New York;"
Got all they wanted. That is certainly
very consolotary. unfortunately thei r
assertion is false and every man in the
county at all conversant with political af-
fairs knows it TO be so. The Newsmen
1t would seem, cannot make the simple
announcement of the result Of an election,
without an effort-to garble the truth, and
leave false impression in the minds of
their readers. 1t is we'll known that the
Legislature of New Yorkis tie on Joint
ballot, the Democrats having two of ma
Jorty in the House and the wings two in
the Senate. We will see whether they
will make the correction.
When they exultingly exclaim that the
wings have got all they wanted, we sup
pose they mean that all they ,caated s0as
jest oOhat they could get. Well, we are
glad TO see them so easily satisfied. We
suppose they also got all they wanted in
Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennes-
see, Alabama, Maine, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
Michigan and Pennsy lvania. All these
States which went for Taylor last year
have now discarded the broken promise
President, and wheeled into the democrat
ic ranks. But according to the Ne,os this
what the wings wanted.

Col. John W. FOrney.

With almost unparalleled unanimity,
the Pennsylvania Democratic Press have
recommended Col. Forney, the talented
and accomplished editor of the Philadel-
phia PeansytUanian, for Clerk of the Ma
tional House of Representatives. In Bed
ford county, the Democracy, assembled in
mass meeting, united in bearing testimony
TO his merits and ability to fiji the station
in connection with which his name has
been brought forward. We are grati6ed
to see this, as there is perhaps not man
in Pennsylvania who has labored harder
or more efficiently in the cause of the De-
mocracy, or who deserves more at their
hands. His ability as political writer
has deseryedIy placed the Pennsylcanian
at The head of the democratic press of
Pennsylvania, and he enjoys the conf
dence and esteem of the party throughout
the State.

Important

We learn by the last Johnstown Neacs
that there is still an editor in this State
who has been unable to perceive what has
rendered the present National and State
Administrations so unpopular with the
peopIel The editors of that paper ask US
to point out the acts which have made
these administrations so offensive TO the
people as to induce them to place them
in glorious minority and leave them
nothing more than the semblance of pow
er. When we first read the article, we
thought they were endeavoring to quiz
US, but on a second perusa we found that
such was not their intention. We con-
fess that we were considerably astonished
TO find that our neig hbors were so blind as
gent man in the country has long since
perceived. We did think that no man
who reads a newspaper, much less who
writes for one, would seriously ask such
Il question. We have been deceived,
however, and candiGIy acknowledge our
error. And as our young friends. in ask
ing the question, seriously confess their
ignorance, we may on some future occa-
sion, do them the favor Of pointing out to
them some Of the unpopular acts Of the
Regency and Gov. Johnston, although by
doing so we may run the risk of offend
ing our other readers, who are all wei.
acquainted with the causes, with which
was brought about results so disastrous to
whiggery, but who will, we hope, excuse
our charitable intentions.

From Mexico.

We received yesterday, files of the
Monitor Republican, and Trait d onion
of the city of Mexico, TO the 20th ult., the
Vera Cruz Locomotor Of the 22d, and
the Jalapa ZempoaLteca to the 23d, in
elusive.
A lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, named
Don Faustin Villalva, raised the standard
of revolt at Cocula, near Igaula, proclaim
ing Santa Anna general-in-chief of the re-
generating army of Mexico. He had but
fifty soldiers with him. He was attacked
by Gen. Palacois, his party dispersed, and
he made prisoner. Villalva was TO be ex-
ecuted forthwith.
Quiroz, the principal leader in the late
insurrection in the Sierra Gorda, after hav-
ing been shot was conveyed to Xichu,
where his corpse was publicly exposed.
The Monitor says that rumori is current
that spectators in the funds of the Repub-
lie, have corrupted some of the members
of the Chamber of Deputies. This is ap-
parent from the apathy displayed by that
body, when the report of the Committee
on Public Credit was to be discussed. On
that occasion % members were absent,
and their being no quorum, the report was
not brought forward.
The question for and against the re-es-
tablishment of the Jesuts, which has
caused an open war between the Cover
nor and Legislature Of Queretaro, has been
referred by the former, Senor Mesa, to
the Supreme Government. The journals
at the metropolis are divided in opinion
relative to the advantages and disadvanta-
ges anticipated to flow from world re-
nowned intriguing priests. The Monitor
is for the CRiUerSal against the reverend
fathers.
NJ. Dubucq, celebrated French econo.
mist, who distinguished himseltin the col
oniza,ion of Algeria, has arrived in Mexi-
co. He is about founding a college at Sar
Christobal in Chiapas.
The Apaches are again numbering and
pillaging in the State of Durango. The
American guerrilla party of thirty men at
tackled them on the lst ult., killed four anc
recovered the plunder they were carrying
off.
Robberies are as frequent as ever in al
parts of Mexico; al the Capital they haC
become unusually daring. The Governor
of the district, Gen. Anaya, lately gave il
resignation, on the plea of i'll health, al
though the Trait d Union says the daily
reproaches made against the authorities by
the press on account of the inefficient pro
teclion to life and property, had no doub
contributed TO his retirement.
The inhabitants of TamPico woulC
soon be we'll supplied with drinking wa
ter, which they have been so long clamor-
ing for. The turn of Vera Cruz will come
next.

England and France 0utWitted.

This mornings mail brings US intelli-
gence which leads us to suppose that
both England and France have been over
reached in the affair of the Hungarian
refugees. The London Times contains
a letter from Austria dated the 4th inst,
from which it appears that the Emperor
of Russia has carried his point with the
Turkish government, despite the inter-
ference of the French and English gov
ernmentS.
The Porte has pledged itself to keep in
safe custody, in one or more Of the Tur-
kish fortresses, all those refugees whose
names may be mentioned, by the Austrian
and Russian governments, and Immediate
ly to Danish the others. Under this ar
rangement, there is no chance for Kossuth
