Philadelphia and New York. The one in Phila-
delphia, being strictly q protective tariff, and on
a~nti.free trade meeting that in New York still
hsrping on "the slave oligarchy" and the "Dred
Scott Decision" with o word or two against SIN
| crease of Expenditures" The Philadelphia pro-
gramme is to embrace all the old Wings and A
mcricans, who are yerdant enough to be caught;
while the New York programme will keep the anti
slavery line unbroken. We do not mean to say
that these movements Indicate anything dehnlte;
but they certainly show that such efforts are be-
ing made, and if the elements can be made to co.
~alesce, their prospects Of SUCCESS IN leoo would
be far from unpromising.
We have before called the attention Of our rea-
ders to this movement in Philadelphia. 1t was
announced before hand that Humphrey Marshall,
]. A. Gilmer and Mr.. Conrad, Of Louisiana, were
to be among the speakers. The two latter did not
attend, but must have given some encouragement
to the movement, from the confidence with which
their names were announced. :,
The meeting is said to have been a large ana
enthusiastic one. The Philadelphia American
thinks that it will at once cut short the movement
for free trade, and silence the ''frantic keitts and
Boyces ut the South" H. c.. Carey was Presi-
dent, and was supported by q long list of Vice
Presidents, numbering upwards of seventy-an
working men. The resolutions and speeches OF
course were all strong for protection-they came
out openly and declared that Pennsylvania work
ing men could not support themselves, and that
the people of other States would have, in charity,
to furnish them with bread. Speeches were de.
livered by Senators Collamer, Cameron, Foot and
Simmons; and by H. Marshall, of Kentucky,
Thompson, of Indiana, Covode and MOTIFS, OF
Pennsylvania. Humphrey Marshall said he was
proud to be with working men on this occasion.
He said sit is q question of bread, BREAD" with
them, and the only way they could get it would
be to put DOWN the Democratic ADMINISTRATION
The tariff may probably throw Pennsylvania into
the Black Republican scales. Where, then, is the
Democratic hope ?-in the West. Let the party
meet this issue at once. Let the South and the
West unfurl the banner of free trade and direct
taxation. Meet the issue boldly. The arguments
ore in favor of the movement, and as Pennsylvania
has appealed on the score of self-iuterest, let the
sam appeal be made to the agriculture of the
South and the West. Our system of Indirect taxa
ton is a fraud and q protection to extravaganza,
while it Injuries the commerce and agriculture OF
the country. The movement in Pennsylvania to
revive this old Wing measure may fail. But II 1t
does not, if it carries the approaching COMPRESSION
al elections in Pennsylvania, we may expect to
have q higher system of Southern plumber and
robbery carried on, if we do not rise to resistance.
tits our duty to do all we can to avert this at
tempt to pamper Pennsylvania like at lazy drone.
But if we cannot avert it, we should then resist 1t:
Notification in the hands of the whole South would
prove a much more effective weapon than when
welded by South Carolina alone.
