Working Men of this country to tlje aUon no which the lewt of Nature and Nature God entitle Uowevtr much men may differ at to the policy of the Ueneral uovernnieni upon utu) uuiui measure, we feel quite confident that Protection to American lodiistry, waloualy advocated by you. will eutitle you more than any other Amencaa Statesman to the thanks and gratitude of tbe Mechanical portion of your fellow citizens al least. We can, in behalf of the Gold and Silver Artiaaue of the City of New York, assure you that your exertione in the formation of the Tariff Bill of 1843, and especially in procuring for us at that time, after all other meant had failed, an adequate and just protection again Foreign Importation, meet from our heartfelt thank.

We beg of you, then, air, to accept of thai emblem of our gratitude, and remembrr, a often a you look upon it, that it cornea from a Mechanical portion of your fellow citizene, who feel themselves greatly indebted to you, and take thii method of acknowledging it It mar not be out of place at thai time to elate to you how beneficially the present TaruThs af 1 ai 1.1 I t.a. I lecieu our Durance, ne wiuu uncuj i for several yean previou to it parage, the neee of the Gold and Silver Manufacturer! had been gradually declining, until we found ouraelve upon tbe very brink of ruin. In competing with foreign manufacturer! the Anvil no longer rang with the gladaome notes of well paid Industry all before us was gloom and idleness, with their many baneful effects. We all felt that, unless the Protective Peltry was again adopted by the General Government, we most give up a business that had con year of toil to acquire, (indeed veiy many of us well advanced in Me,) and seek other occupations. On the other baud, since the passage of the TsruTof 1643, the business of the Gold and Silver Artisan but been steaddy increasing until at the present time, and we take great pleasure in stat ing it, our business enjoy great a state of prosperity as the most sanguine could desire.

Permit us to add. Sir, whether you continue to retid in the strict retirement of Ashland, surrounded by all the comfort and endearment of family associations aud a consciousness of having through a long life served your couutry faithfully and honestly, or are again called by your fellow citizens to take a part in the councili of the Nation, the name of Henry Clay will be remembered by the Gold and Silver Artisan of the City of New York with gratitude and admiration.

CLAY'S REPLY. New Orleans, 1846. Gentlemen Your favor, as a Committee of the (Sold and Silver Artisans or the City of New York, addressed 1e me at my res'tdence, lias been transmitted to and received by tue at this City. I regret extremely that I waa not at home when Mr. Adams did me the honor to come there with it and with the Silver Vase to which it relates I should have been most happy to have received him and treated him under my own roof, with the high reaped and hospitality which he waa entitled to and which would have been prompted by my own grateful feelings.

When I took my departure for Orleans from Ashland, in December last, near a month had elapsed after I had been advised 1 of the Vase heviug left New York, and as the i Winter commenced very early with uncommon rigor I concluded it might not reach its destination until the Winter broke up. The Gold and Silver Artisans of New York I have done me the honor, as yon inform me, to pre sent me this splendid article ai a testimonial of their sense of my public services, and especially for the seal with which they have been pleased to regard my effort! to elevate the Working Men of our Country to the station of comfort and re epectability to which they are justly entitled. In ncceDtimr it. I thank them with all mv heart 1 for then liberal appreciation of my humble endeavors during my public career. I retain a lively rec verted, and oar Fanner win lose immensely by I the cbange JJUuT, eatery, owe aunaiagc, ism where, are.

We hear that Mr. Walker's Tariff bill sticks in the throat of tbe Committee of Wan and Means, in consequence of a decided remonstrance by the toco foro Members from the North and Eaet against the shape given to that bill, whereby Sugar, Iron, Coal, are vouchsafed an efficient Protection or 30 per cent, while Wool is allowed but 20, and Manufscturea of Cotton, Wool, snk and Iron from leal than nothing up to 10 and at most 20 per cent, above the duty on the raw materials.

Hudson Hirer Railroad. It is gratifying to observe the spirit that some of our citiiens are manifesting in relation to this important work, and we are satisfied that it is a spirt that must widen its influence until tbe city is rouaed. We have been resting on our natural advantages, until our Boston neighbors have got a good start rol'ing the rich products of the West and North over their iron ways, without competition, and receiving the commercial visits of country merchants, who ten years ago, hardly thought of such a place as Boston. We have too long been contenting ourselvea under the idea that Boston would find the Railroad speculation a bad one, and instead of benefits, she WOU1U Wive CUlUUn ISUliruis, nilu luuuu tv pay her railroad debis. But we nowhnd that all the railroads leading out of that city, and thot were in operation the past year, paid 7 to 8 per cent, dividends.

The population of Boston increased from 1840 to 18ti thirty five per and yet some of our wise men think New York.being a imaUphce, should be contented with the Harlem railroad for her chief revenue. Boston has seven railroads running from the city, and aome of them almost parallel to been granted to the Harlem Company to construct egcll otheT for jgnty mjM jng jn n0 place more a road on the inland route. than fifteen miles apan, and a great part ol the dis It may be observed that the Harlem line hns a da i Iance mm five to tinct local district to accommodate, and that toe i also has her eye on the fertile district Hudson line has also a distinct local district to ac York, and is projecting a road up commodate.

"The rederaof the Telegraph are aware that after the Assembly had declared that Mr. Pierce was entitled to the seat which' Mr.

Crosby contested, a resolution was adopted allowing the latter gentle man not only his per diem pay, up to the time the question was settled, but alio his mileage, and even kit expense or taking tettimonj to Ktmort kit ctuunt to the conteated oeut. They may also be a httle curious, as I was, to know whst these charges amounted I will therefore give them the infor mation.

Crosby $3 a day making between them $8 a day, just equal to the pay of a member of Congress! "At this rale, contesting seats is profitable business, to the losing party, and hitfriendt."

The fact is, the application last winter for a new company was not made tor Uie Kiver line, Imt lor the privilege of taking the River or the inland line, as should be found ueslsfier a survey and the local interest on the River line was but very little engaged in the applirniion.it being sustained mainly by citizens of New Yorkcity. I It is beyond dispute that the two lines have distinct and local interests ieculiar lo each, and are i both freight and passengers during a suspension of navigation on tne iiuuson. inn muyuc ent iru in the best manner by the proposed Hudson River Kailrond. Without this we sluill droop more and more every winter, and soon find that our summer business will feel the influence of so much winter diversion of trade. The idea that has been presented nnd urged by the friends of the Harlem road, that because they have got the privilege of constructing a roud (running a great portion of the distance from III lo ii miles from the Hudson nver route,) tlierefore the latter should not be granted, to our minds savors too much of monopoly.

If they hove got the liest line ihey will get the trade, and if they have not the best, are ihe publio to be condemned to pay tribute perpetually to them, and, besides, to hate an inferior acCOmnlOaailOn I II wuuiu eccm lion, ill, minny wicked injustice practised that, to aionr as fir as possible for auch injustice, they felt bound to plunder ibe state to any extent, they cared not how much, by way nf making nmfniandto smooth over the affair to those whose rights they violated. In fact Pierce's advocates were obliged to propose and agree lo pay every thing Mr. Crosby or his friends might ask. or any tliing.they cared not how much, provided only Pierce could keep the seat. It was only by such means that some twenty loco foco member could be induced lo vote for him.

That the whole powe of the Administration will be exerted to break down the Protective Policy ie manifest that ils efforts will be aided by recent devolopenients in Great Britain, is equally true; but that thaw efforts will succeed with all their adventitious aids, is not yet certain. One great impediment thereto is the general and spontaneous conviction of our people the great mass who are but occasionally and partially drawn into the absorbing whirl of politics that we are well as we are, and are not likely to improve our condition by a radical change in our Commercial and ludustrial Politics.

All do know even the speeches of the enemies of Protection in Congress proclaim the fact that the country ia now enjoying, and has for some time enjoyed, a more than average prosperity that its labor is as generally employed, aud fairly rewarded as at almost any former period, its capital at no loss for advantageous credit revenues ample, and its currency as reliable and beneficent a a currency so constituted is likely ever to be. All know that the country ha moved rapidly forward for two year past that its actual wealth has been increased by the erection of houses, mills, factories, ic. the clearing away of forests and the improvement of lands, aud that its capacity of production haa increased in proportion, and: is still rapidly increasing. The now probable revolution in British Policy gives us at length a chance for fair and equal trade with Great Britain if on our part we simply "let well alone."

A robbery of the most daring character was committed at the house of Mr. Roswell Hart of Brighton, about three miles from this city, on Sunday night last. The house was entered through one of the side doors, which was unlocked by means of forceps, and from appearances, the thieves must have visited every room in the house. From those of the females, their own aud the children's clothes were taken, and, together with a considerable quantity of other clothing, was placed in a pile by the parlor door, but was not taken. The thieves also entered the sleeping oop) of Mr.

Hart, and took his wallet, containing some sixty dollar, from a bureau standing within a few feet of the bead of the sleeper. The sideboard was also opened, and the large and small silver spoons, butter knife, sugar tongs, taken, all amounting in value to some fprty dollars. When the inmates arose in the morning, they found everything apparently in good order, not even discovering the robbery until the silver spoons were wanted for the breakfast table. Altogether, it is decidedly the coolest and most daring robbery which has been committed of late. Daily Adv.

The Assembly of this state has at lost ordered to a third reading a bill from Ihe Senate to abolish the office of state printer, and let the state and legislative printing hereafter to the lowest bidder. This bill has been passed thro no good motive to the state, as we believe.

The i day has al last come when the Croewell family and old ariatooracy of Albany can no longer monopolize the spoils of the state, and a radical must be state printer or nobody. We care nothing about preserving the office of state printer, but, we do object decidedly to all exhibitions of littleness on the part of the state. Having thus far practised the utmost profligacy and wasted thousands upon lhe peculiar favorites of the party, from the utmost extravagance the next step is to positive penurioaanesa. Let the atate pay a fair price for til that ia done, and no fault can be found, Canal EittXDITcnts. Among other things illustrative ofthe beautiful economy practiced by the powers that be in this state, it is discovered that ihe expenditures on the canals last year for repairs and superintendence, exceeded by the Lifting sum of $140,000 those of the previou year for the same pvirposes: Much speculation has followed to dis Town Elections.

These still continue to come in very favorable for lhe whigs. In Wyoming county, the whigs have carried eight towns, the locos but one. In Steuben, the whigs have gained three towns over last year, and the board of supervisors stands whigs 14, locos 17; last 11, locos SO. In Cortlandt, the whigs have 'carried nine ofthe thirteen supervisors. In Catteraugua county the wlihrs have done uncommonly well, having elected sixteen out of the twenty eight supervisors.

PCCULIAX IxrORTAXCE OF VIOOKOCS POTJTICAL ACTIO. It is often said to be the custom of editors to call elections highly important, whatever may be the usues of tbe day. Admitting this to be so to some extent, it may be replied that while we have a party in power headed by unprincipled men. who are continually disposed to make encroachments upon the rights ofthe people, and sacrifice public interests, it is of llie first consequence to make auch demonstrations of opposition 09 shall continually hold them in tear and in check, if they cannot beaten. This applies to all cases where the only restraining influence upon a corrupt administration is the fear of defeat, and many an iniquitous measure is thus prevented.

But in view ofthe election of members of the con vention to amend the constitution, which is close at hand, and in addition to that for governor, members of Congress, the legislature, nnd county offices, 10 come off next fall, the whigs of Dutchess, as they I mark the events of the past year, surely can need Utile to convince them that the elections of this i year are of far more than wmal importance to them, if they consider their rights as freemen worth con rover what could possibly have caused suck a dif. tending for and preserving.

There is alto sound reason In hi objection to the tenure of office I proposed for the Chief With the power I assigned him he should be made responsible to the people, and at short intervals, else he may disregard their will and cling lo the interests and the feelings of the profession from which he was taken.

Yet the enormous sum named was filched away from the treasury in addition lo the former heavy expenditures, for some objects of which the people are thus far uninformed. There is hardly any room for doubt that iniquity of some kind was at the bottom ofthe whole of it, An abuse of such, magnitude is sufficient evidence of the alarming progress of corruption.

It ia a plain and calm appeal that cannot fail lo convince the randid and unprejudiced. ISPtl The Singsing Chronicle of Tuesday last has the following paragraph in reference to the Hudson River Railroad. "The River Hail Road Bill lias pot yet been taken up for action by the Legislature, but there appears to be no doubt of ils passage, when it shall be reached in the regular order of business.

One of the members from this county, writing home, says "The bill is certain to pass at we have hail cold weather in Albany." To the above we may add that we have assurances from gentlemen of this place who have visited Albany that the bill is gaining strength daily and steadily, and it certain to pass if properly attended to.

Last fall we were compelled to witness the humiliating and disgraceful spectacle, of a board of canvassers here, met to determine the true result of the election, assuming a direct party character, and in spite of the requireuients of law, in contempt of the plainest dictates of common sense and common justice, seeking and resolving to turn iheir power as canvassers to party account, to bring about a talsc instead ofthe true result, while the evidence of the correct result was directly before them.

The law pointed out their doty in the case so plainly that no honest man could be in any doubt as lo its meaning, yet in direct contempt of law, and all the arguments that rould be used to induce them to procure and certify to what they knew to be the true result, they voted down by party discipline every proposition lo correct the defective' returns; and concluded by certifying to Ihe election of candidate who' had received but a minority of votes. But bad and disgraceful as were those proceedings, setting at defiance the ballot boxes, and placing a man in office known not to be elected, it uas still even then pretended as an apology for the proceedings, that tlie evil could be but temporary, the assembly of the state would have full jurisdiction to redress wrong, and an appeal to that body would directly put all upon the right footing. But wlien the afiViir came before the assembly what have we seen I Although tlie subject was referred to a committee containing a majority of the dominant party, and two of their most prominent and influential members, said committee reported four to one in favor of giving the seat to the whig member elect, in place of the loco foco, so wrongly placed there. Yet by party electioneering, lo secure party objecti and no others, the outrage by the canvassers, instead of being redressed, was sanctioned and carried out Tbe whole proves that when that party has the power, not only' are frauds against the ballot boxes sanctioned "and sustained, but actual reiulti, proved by evidence that nobody can impeach, wantonly trodden under foot and disregarded; From the beginning to the en of the outrage it has been strictly a party for it therefore have a perfect and legitimate right to hold that party and feel authorised lo assert that power even to determine the voice'of the people cannot be safely entrusted in loco foco hand.

Besides, I hear thai aeveral tickets were acratched, or partly written and partly printed, and how can it be determined what should be done with ihem Their very nature makes them tnutteriout. I hear furtter that at least two or three democrats voted the whig ticket, from which it is clear they intended those votes should be lost, and if two or three votes were thus intended to be lost, who can tell but all were intended to be lost What evidence have we then tliat the whig ticket is elected I Surely none.

The Telegraph rays lhat the whigs of this village. on Tuesday last, "it not besten were wonderfully scared." We may say in reply that if the whig were scared at lhe commencement the locos were a great deal worse ocared when the fight was over. The New York Morning News appears to take it very uncommonly hard about the contested election in this county. The Hon.
