We extract from the Ghbc the following:
THOUGHT OR TWO ON PRICES AND LA
BOR.
1. Prices will fall, all other things being unchang
ed, if the currency lessens and contracts, whether it
be specie or paper. So they will rise, if it expands.
This was shown in 1819 and 1820, and the U
nited States Bank, instead of the Government or n
Sub-Treasury, was then charged with causing the
fall in prices, which fall was much greater than
now.
2. Prices will fall, all other things being unchang
ed, if more of an article is produced, or an old
market for it is cut oft', So will they rise, if less is
produced, or a new. market opened.
This has just been shown in respect to grain in
1837 and 1838, when the grain crop was small
here and prices high;and in 1839 and 1840, when
the crop was large and pr ces low. So as to
since toe market of China has been cut oft".
3. Prices of labor can never fall here, all other
tilings being equal, as low as in Russia, Germany,
France, England, etc.
Because there ihe great cap'talist has to main
tain an established church, a nobility, a monarchy,
u splendid army, a navy, and hosts of paupers,
leaving to the laborer merely enough wages for
food and cloth ng. While here the laboring man
or the man of small means, is taxed as well as the
capitalist—is also free, and aids in the Government
of the country; and, if not getting a larger share of
h s earnings for wages, can profit iblv till the soil
for himself, while our new lands are so cheap, ex
tensive and fertile.
The currency is not exclusively metalic in Eng
land, France, Germany, or Russia; and if it was,
the effect of that alone on the amount of the price
of labor would be trifling.
4. Prices are kept more uniform, sound and safe,
by a good currency, founded on specie. But that
is all the effect of currency on prices of either labor
or property.
Because a currency equal to ten dollars per head,
whether of paper or coin, or mixed, would leave
prices entirely the same in amount, so far as they
might be affected by the currency alone.
5. Prices of labor and properly, whether fulling
or rising, leave the laborer mnch in the same condi
tion, except the inconvenience and perplexity of
change, because he gets, for less wages more cloth,
grain, -'nd pro- eries, if the price, as is usual, falls
proportionably in all.
But when as in expensive and extravagant mon
archies, the laborer gets a less and undue ratio of
what is earned by capital and labor, and the pam
pered arristocrsit gets more, that is an evil and a
curse; and has bi en avoided, and always will be,
here, while our I ee institutions flourish, whatever
nun be i ; llr | of currency which exists
Butif the kind is good, uniform, safe and souud,
the iab rer and the middling classes get, also, not
only a fair propmtion, but one that is without risk,
loss, and constant change. This he ought to have,
if possible; and a part of the duty of the Govern
■i.cot is to secure it to liim by all constitutional
means.
omiinient:
We have copied this article at length, on ar.
count of the remarkable and striking admis
sions in the two concluding paragraphs. We
are told in the first place, that it matters not to
the laboring man whether prices of labor and
property be falling or rising because he gels for
less wages more cloth, grain and groceries.
But mark what follows. But, says the Globe,
"when as in expensive and extravagant mon
archies the laborer gets a less and undue ratio
of what is earned by capital and labor, and the
pamoered aristocrat gels more, that is an evil
and a curse."
Now we ask the laboring man to reflect for
a moment on the truth as here presented.
Can the laborer now get more cloth, grain
and groceries for less labor than formerly? On
the contrary, does he not find that the "pam
pered aristocrats ," the well paid office holders,
who receive the same salaries in gold and sil
ver are the only persons who get more. Their
salaries are doubled while your wages are re
duced, but this reduction of wages is no the
greatest evil. It is the absence of all wages.
It is the ulttr destruction of business; the want
of employment that is the curse upon the
country.
But this article in the Globe is remarkable
for anot her admission. It is that it is a part of
the duty of the Government to secure to the
laboring man, such a condition of the currency
that he may receive certain and constant em
ployment. Remember that, ye who stand idle
all the day whilst your wives and your little
ones are wanting bread. Remember that you
are idle and that they are starving because the
"pampered aristocratic" office holders have
doubled their salaries by their war upon the
currency; and remember that it is for you to
say how long you and your children shall
starve, and how long they shall be "pampered'"
at your expense.
Extract of a letter dated
Cumberland, March 19lh.
It affords me much pleasure to state that our
prospects here are very cheering. A: our Tip
pacanoe Club last night, it was stated as a great
ifying fact, that since the last meeting, at least
eighty decided changes had taken place, for
Gen. Harrison, limy break out every day in
quarters where we had scarcely a right to ex
pect them.—The people are .heartily weary
and sick of the present administration, —and
change and reform are here words in almost
every man's mouth. I speak notol the popu
lar enthusiasm, which is particularly illustrated
among our mountain boys.
IMPORTANT. —The National Gazette of
Tuesday says:—"The Resumption Bill has
passed the Senate. Should the House concur
in the Senate's amendments, the day for the
resumption of specie payments by the bank,
the 15th of January next, may be considered
as fixed. The followingjetterofour correspon

One o'clock, P. M. y
The Senate has just passed the Bank Bill

The following article lioni the U. S. (Phil.)
Gazette has, as it deserves to do, arrested the
attention of the intelligent citizens ol'Balimiore,
and warns us of the necessity ol pressing for
ward the great works in which the state and
city are so deeply interested to a speedy com
pletion —when these are done Baltimore will
fear no rivalry.
From the U. S. Gazette :
Western Produce and Transportation.
We learn that the late reduction by toe Can
al Commissioners, of twenty cents perharrelnn
Flour, will be the means ot materially adding
to the revenue derived bv the State from
on our public works. Considerable parcels "I
Flour will now seek the sea board by this route
which would otherwise have went hi New \ ok
by the Lakes and the Erie Canal, or to New
Orleans. A similar reduction of toll on Bacon,
Pork, Lard, Tobacco and Wheat, would at
tract to our improvements large quantities ol
these articles, which have heretofore Ibund
New Orleans and New York their best niaiket,
No time should be lost in making this reduc
tion, as the present high freights and the great
scarcity of vessels at New Orleans will natural
ly induce persons residing in the West to look
to New York, Philadelphia, or Baltimore, as
their best maikei at present. Tne New York
Canals are not open, lutr will they be so for
some time to come, and between Philadelphia
and Baltimore the prices of freight being so
much in favor of this c-ty the supplies would
necessarily take the latter route. In order that
our friend's in the interior may lully understand
this matter, we publish the lollowing compara
tive rales ol freights from Pittsburg to Phila

Upon the above ilie American of yesterday
remarks:
PENNSYLVANIA WORKS-DRAW
BACK ON FLOUR —The act of the Penn
sylvania Canal Commissioners, allowing a spe
cial drawback on flour transporied on the pub
lic works from Pittsburg to Philadelphia, is
viewed by judicious persons in that State pre
cisely in the same light as that in which we con
sidered it in alluding to the subject a few days
ago. It cannot fie regarded otherwise than as
a measure designed to favor Philadelphia, to
thu direct injury of the rest of the State of
Pennsylvania. It interferes with the natural
course of trade, and seeks to build up an artifi
cial system, to confine the producer to one
market, anil lo subject him even in that to a.
disadvantageous competition. But we wish our
readers to see how the measure is regarded in
Peimnvlvattto. In the Pittabtirg Advocate, of
the 47th March, we find an arlich ill winch the
policy <ir rather 'he impolicy of the drawback
is fully discussed; and in reference to it the fol
lowing language is used:
''lt i* Partial, becatisn it tries to compel all
the Flour desiined lor the Baltimore market to
go to Philadelphia.
"It in Unjust, because it enables the farmers
of Ohio, and other states, to send their flour to
market 20 cents per barrel cheaper than the
farmer of Pennsylvania, while it at the same
lime roLs him of a choice of markets. Pause
a moment here, and suppose yourself a farmer
'of Pennsylvania, living any wheie east ol Pitts
burg, an.l you have 1000 barrels of Flour to
send to Philadelphia; when you go to pay your
Toll yon find von have to pay s'2oo more tl.au
, ihe limner of Ofcio pays tor the same quantity.
1 'aken to the same' market, and sold ai the same
. price as youis."
The farmers of the interior of Pennsylvania
will find that ihe statement in this paragraph
describes exactly the operation of the system.
Toe injustice ol this is acknowledged even in
Phi.adi'iphia; for n is impossible that anv one
i can lie build to so pa in a thing. Here billows
a paragraph from the Philadelphia Commercial
Lisi of Saturday, relerriug to a lot of Flour
w hich started from a point on the canal east ol
' Pii (shorn:
' "About 2000 barrels of Flour have already
hi en shipped Irom Blairsviile to this city B.v
ihe present arrangement of the Canal Cmu
nii-sioners, tins Flour pays a higher mil to tin
Slate than that brought from Pittsburg. This
|is inaniltstly unjust. The first boat cleared
I i'r>ni Blairsvide on Saturday last. 21st inst."
I We reler again to the Pittsburg Advocate
j article whicu pinceeds to consider to considei
the subject in a larger view. After showing
that theariangt ment is PAHTIAL and UUJCST
as it bears upon the interior of Pennsylvania,
the article continues :
"It it in not seeing the vasi
field the Tide Water Canal opens not only to
I the trade of Pennsylvania but to the whole
Mississippi Valley. It is shortsighted in try
ing to cripple this canal, by not extending tin
reduction of toll on fl ur passing into it Iron
the Pennsylvania canals and iail-roads.
"Extend the reduction of toll on flour pass
ng into ibis canal, and you will lorce Iron:
New Yoik and NewO leans a great portion ol |
the immense trade they are now carryi g ot
wiiiiourSoulhe.il const, Cuba and the West
In ies.
' The Tide fVatcr Canal is ihe grand gold
it link thai connects Pittsburg with this vast
li- I I lor commerce, and oor canal con mission
eis jflioulil, instead of injuring i s nade protect
and encourage the industry ol Pentisv Ivatiia.
We can safely leave the subject to the good
sense of the peop'e of Pennsylvania. II they
wish to see their canals crowded with produce
and merchandise, thereby returning ! a:ge re
venues to the Slate: above all if they are de
siious ol aflbiding to the larmer, the manufac
turer and the country dealer of the interior a
short, cheap, and coiiveniei t mode ot access
to market, they will not litil to discover that
any measure which throws obstructions in IIII
WHV of the Tide Wa'er Canal is dir ctlv in
jurious to their own interests. Thai Canal ts
ihe very thing which the State ol Pennsylva
nia has so long wanted to make her other in
ternal improvements available IO their lull ca
pacity. It is a crowning work—a fin's er—
to the great system which with liberal policy
and commendable perseverance she has prose
cuted through many difficulties. Let her not
now stiff r liersell to be deprived ol the advan
tages which tins work will bestow upon her;
but with true sagacity let her persevere that
the Tide WaierCanai is part and parcel of In r
own improvements—a work which art lias
made her own as much as nature has made the
Susquehanna her own.
A general reduction of tol Is on the Peniisvl
vania improvements, if made equably &, with
out draw backs, might now effect a most im
portant result and constitute an epoch in the
ntemal trade of the country. The high prices
of freight at New Oileans, caused by a scarcity
of vessels, and ihe unusual quantity of produce
accumulated in the West, seeking a market,
would tend to give a direction to the course ol
trade, up the Mississippi ano Ohio, if the char
ges of transportation by the interior routes
were not up at a minimum. This direction he
isgonce fairly given to the current, the proba
bility is strong that it would continue—lor the
advantages of the route, if fully understood,
would operate strongly in its favor. A Phila
delphia paper notices the shipment from Pitts
burg of five thousand barrels of flour belonging
to one l ouse in Boston. Such an item as this
mav serve to indicate what would be the im
mense amount of all sorts of commodities
turned into Ihe channels of the Pennsylvania
Canals, if the tolls on all articles were reduced,
after the example of the sagacious policy of
New York.
fly After the above article was in type, we
received the Philadelphio North American til
yesterday, in which we find the following re
marks, confirmatory of the grounds we have
assumed in discussing the subject.
"The Baltimore American of Thursday last,
contains an article on the recent drawback in
shipments of Flour from Pittsburg, and on the
general policy of the State, in demanding a
high rate- of toll on the public works. It con
tends that the former is positively injurious to
every inhabitant of Pennsylvania, living east
of Pittsburg, on the main route, or any of the
lateral hranches, as the drawback is only allow
ed on flour shipped at that place, thus offering
a premium lo Western farmers at the expense
of Pennsylvanians. There is much truth and
liirce in the argument, as not one barrel of flour
which conies from an intermediate point, or
which after passing along the whole line of the
public works to the intersection of the Union
Canal, and thus seeks this market, is entitled to
the benefit. A general reduction of tolls is
wanted, and with less, the community should
not rest satisfied. Experience has shown ilia'
even on the ground of profit, it is desirable to
put on low tolls."

daptcd for the accommodation of FAMILIES and LADIES,
having a great number of Private Parlours, Ladies' Ordinary,
and a splendid Drawing Room, with private entrance on Bal
timore street. In every respect, the Kutaw House is second

determination of the proprietors, to spare no exertions to

IVINMS and LIQUORS on hand, has been mostly impelled
expressly for the use of this establishment, or selected from

P.kOrsi-Jb.C'l'll —For publishing by subscription,
the drama of WEST POINT; or, A TALK, OF
TREASON —by Joseph Breck, Esq.
In consequence ot the numerous solicitations of his
friends, the author of the drama entitled "West Point; or
a Tale ol Treason," has consented to its publication.
This plav is a dramatic picture of the hold and daring
treason of Benedict Arnold, and ol the arrest and execu
tion of Major Andre, the British Spy, during the Revo
lutionary War.
It was adapted to scenic representation by Joseph
Bicck, Esq. The original lale is from the pen of I ro
fessor Ingraham, as published in the Democratic Re
view.
The dramatist has been kindly furnished with a poet
ical EPILOGUE, by John H. Hewitt, Esq and also a
PROLOGUE, by R. Horace Pratt,Esq.; which produc
tion- will accompany the publication, thereby enhancing
its value.
Subscribers will be furnished with the work at 25 cts.
per copy, on delivery.
H"~UCopv-right secured.
As Monsieur I.E SAGE once wrote in a preface to
his translation of "LIFE OF GCSMAK D' ALFARACHE'
so 1 copy.
I dare say there are many good things in this (transla
tion) drama, because they are none of my own; and
some bad ones which I ain not bound to vindicate; and
whoever lavs them to my charge will do me wrong; for
without vanily be it spoken, there would have been many
more of the latter, if I had not abridged or omitted them.
1 have also introduced several new turns of thought and
expression, that the whole might assume a modern ap
pearance. It is not easy lo make a Spanish suit, espe
cially an old one. fit a Frenchman, lor the antipathy be
tween ihe two nations appears in every thing. Though
this boos be uot exactly calculated for perusal in Lent,
or on Church days, it will admirably well suit Cardinal
time. It is filled to all shapes and sizes; a saddle (or
every horse. It needs only lo be tried, and many, who
believe it was made for others, will find that the coat sets
as well upon them, as if the tailor had cut it out by their
own measure. The misfortune is, that every one be
lieves himself tall and well shaped; and yet there are
hardly any but crooked and humpbacked men in the
"rtJ-Copies of the Prospectus can be fonnd at Ihe prin
cipal Bookstore, where subscriptions ure respectlully
solicited. JOSEPH BRECK.
