I concur in t'ne remark, that the topics refirred lo are of " vital interest" to the peo- |ile of Pennsylvania, and lliat it is exceedingly im¬ portant ll.ey bc riglilly decided. I am a democrat, and bave formed my political views in accordance vvilh the standard principles of that parly, and I am in no way inclined unnecessarily lo depart from ihem.

Aro dislinclly in favor of a Proleciive Tariff, in con- tradislinction to a Tariff merely for revenue—and this as I understand it, hus always been a princijile maintained by the true Democracy of the country, through thc administrations of \Vasliington, Jef¬ ferson, Madi-son, Monroe, and which 1 hope die party is not about lo desert. Tho Democratic mem¬ bers of tho .Senate and House of Representatives of Uio United Stales at the lasi session of Congress, voled against the repeal acl of 1842, and the Le¬ gislature of Pennsylvania al lheir last session, pas¬ sed a resolution unanimously inslructiiig lheir rep- resenlatives in Congress to go for proteclion "witli-
