Within the past day or two prices have been steady, and the opera- tions confined almost entirely to Reading and Harlem, the two favorite railroad fancies. Both of these are dan- gerous stocks for the bears to touch at present prices, and they sre very cautious how they handle them. It would require but s moderate improvement in the mo- ney market to put either of them up five and ten Per oent. The sales to-day were confined to these stocks, and the market olosed at prices current yesterday. The demand for foreivn exchange has been very mo- derate for some time past. The rates demanded for sterling bills have been close upon specie points. Forrian Excnanars.

JAMES BUCHANAN DECLARED TO BE “ Pennsylvania’s Favorite Son,’’ sila Si = Part | Voluminons and Enthusiastic Resolutions IN COMMENDATION OF MR. POLK AND ALL HIS CABINET. Speeches of Robert Tyler AND Some other Lights of Democracy. &e. &e. ke. Pucaverrnia, Deo, 18—11 P.M. ‘The democrats of this city have, for a few weeks past, ‘been inas great intestine trouble asthe whigs. The custom house officers, and the rank and file of the party, were decidedly at the “outs,” snarling over that fruitful bone of contention, the next presidency. Each faction fa- vors Pennsylvania's favorite son; but tne question is,who inthe man? The custom house men say “James Bucha- nan,’ but those who are not in government employ, and it is believed, the great mass of the party, say, “ George M. Dallas.” The feud has gone se far that, inthe space of cne week, we have been favored with two democratic war meotings. The Dallas wing had their's on last Saturday evening, ead the Buchanan wing held their's to-night The latter had an announcement upon thelr posters, and an advertisement in the paper, that the Hon Fd- ward H. Hannegan and Richard Brodhead, M. C., would address the meeting. This ruse de guerre bad wonderful'effect, great curiosity having been manifested to hear these distinguished speakers; but, unfortunate- ly, those gentlemen did not come. The meeting was crowded, being as largs, overflowing and enthusiastic as the great Clay meeting in the Chi- nese Saloon, some weeks ago. At7 o'clock, the Hon. Jonny T Sarru, late Member of Congress for the Third District, was called to the Chair, and numerous Vice | Barton then , of Texas was as ri fr7'« battle, ech 9 tantng shoud be held.” Where now | your Teigzs, your Montgomery, your | Young?

Bat our’s is uo war like that of Cenar, for conquest, Our’s 1s no war of iny sion. It has been waged to repel Mexican iny sion. Mr. i. then referred to Mr. Clay’s inconsistency. | He said, that he wished w add a few words, which Mr ) ‘Tyler hed forgotten, Mr. Clay not only said,“ 1 wish | | had some little nook or corner in the army, that I could | sally out and y ® Mexican ;” but he slso said | that “I might ge the wrongs of my country and yet, inome short year after, we have the eviden of inconsistency by Henry "a assertion that this country is the aggressor. left the mo- cratic party, his career has been one uninterrupted course of failures. There can be no doubt but that the war in which we are now engaged was occasioned by a | long series of perfidious aggressions on the part of | Mexloo, and that the immediate cause was her at- tempt to invade the soil of the United Sti went on to show the ind ht as that of any other independect | nation to annex itrelf to this country. Mr Clays an- | nouncement to makes speech wae made with ail th parade of @ President about to deliver @ mesyage. He draws together mavy of bis reports in the United States; | and afterall this parade and bombast, he then says, tuat if they dure to report him he will make no speech. Well, one reporter did, notwithstanding the fist, take a few notes and forward them. They were published, and instantly the whole whig party became para- lyzed with horror at the nefarionsness of the deed Vell, the speech came, and we flad it to be far worse than the synopals. ‘he volume is worse than the in- dex.

It is useless to mince matters We hear of | dinuers to Mr. Buncrott aud Mr. Webster; we hear | of their speeches, that wo are of one people, but, at best | it is only skin deep; she hates us with an enduring hate; | and, at this time, there is not an account wich reaches her of our victories in Mexico, which does not strike to her heart as violent a pang as struck her in the days of | William Pitt,at the announcement of Nupoieon’s victories at Wagram, Austerlits, and Jena. She never loved us; she was but a step-mother at best, and if we lad not taken our own Inheritance, she would have cut us off with ashilling. She has occasionally had alittle re- spect beaten into her; but it was only by sush teachers Presidents and Secretaries were appointed. Witisam A. Sroxes, Eaq,, presented the resolutions, of which there were forty-five io all, and they alone would occupy two columns anda half of the New York Herald, The following are the most important : Resolved, That the act of Congress of the 13th day of May, 1845, recognizing a state of war as existing by the act of the Republic of Mexico, would, if the American invention of the telegraph had been exteuded to the Rio Grande, have enu- merated four distinct acts of hostile sggression on the part ot the great Southern Republic, either of which was sufficient in {itself to rouse the whole mass of the American people :—Ist, The assault and capture of our dragoons, othe 26th of April, 1846. 2ad, The bombard- ment of Kort Brown. $rd, The attempt upon our army, whioh eventusted in the bat! f Palo Alto, on the 6th of May, 1846 4th, The route of Regaca de la Pelma, on the 9tn of May, 1846. The last of this series of hostile scts,on the part of Mexico, preceded, by four entire 8, the act of Congress, on the 13th of May, which Tecoguised a state of war, arising not from what we had done or omitted, but from the actual levying of war by Mexico hern@f. ‘Tne resolutions then rehearse the wrongs, evasions,and frauds upon the part of Mexico, which, during the past twenty years, gave sufficient warrant for a declaration of war by the United States, and style her forbearance as almost criminal. They assert that the Mexicans never made the boundary of Texas aquestion with the United States, uatil a large party in this couatry, led by unscru- putous partixans, bad made that issue for hi ‘That in- demnity is due to the United States; and. Mexico has nO money, it must consist of territory, which, from the foroe of circumstances, cannot long be held by that pow er, and in the course of time, would have naturally become; annexed to this country, The resolutions in voke Congresq to vote the necessrry supplies for carrying eo war, Gd hope that no attempt to prevent the ac- quisition of térritory, for tear of the spread of slavery, will induce Congress to refuse the ratification of any treaty which may be pecpout: Others compliment the regulars aod volunteers in the army ; Generals Taylor, Scott, Patterson, and Cadwallader, and the Pennsyi nia regim tin Mexico. They likewive assert that Presi- dent Polk has proved himself the worthy successor of Jefferson and Jackson. Mr. Dulles is complimented for his vote on theitariff; Mr. Buchanan, as Pennsylvaxta’s faxorite won, and Messrs. Walker, Maroy, Mason, Cave Jonnson, and the entire cabinet, come in for their share of praise. The resolutions wind up with the usual © Resolved, that they be published,” &o. Rone. a 4 , Was first introduced to the meet- ing. He said the grave questien which now convulsed the American Union is that of the Mexioan war. |i Presents itself to the country in # double aspect. ase question of national honor, and no wotive of expediency in Mr, Clay's Inte speech at Lexington, may be regarded a6 the expression of the views of the whig party on the subject. Mr. Calhoun may be regarded us the exponent of tne defensive line policy, whilv the President of the United States, in his late message, has showa how the war ought to be prosecuted, and indicated the neoessity of the measures. ‘Those who advocate the defensive line policy propose that we shall withdraw our army, hlek is now south of the line, and occupy forts on the line amd the seaports of Mexico, until the Mexicans @re forced to make # treaty. ‘The first and great object of the wer is, to obtain peace, ef- fectually aod speediy, The administration plan is more beneficial than the defensive line plan, and is not subject to the defects which, in his late message, the President has pointed out eo ably. If we withdraw to the line, we will give the enemy tim bring out bis forces, and we uid thereby be involved im ua endless guerilla warfare; for, if we adopt such plan, them, just as England bas her affairs—as Russ France has her Arabs—so . ‘This proves that t line plan is @ decidedly defecti: ns rd this Mexicao question us affecting the na tion’s honor oc the nation’s glory, | do most certairly regard the administration pr‘ ject as the most pretera- je of the two. We may take Clay’s speech at Lex ington; and what does it show! It shows that the ener- getic und far-seeing spirit of that great man bas begun to fail. Itehows that the hoping and indomitable resu- tution, wnich always characterized his spweches, seems to have left Mr. Clay. Iuatead of hoping for the future, he seems rather disposed to preach the funeral oration of the republio. © Can see nothing of the great states men, who used to be always in the advance ; nor of that citizen, who declared & year since, ‘1 too have aimost been tempted to ask for some little nook or corner in the army, in order that | might sally out aod slay & Mexi- ean.” or can we find that bold and vigorous spirit of au earlier day—the same spirit which bas prompted | the son to aid in sustaining bis country’s ‘houor ; that son who yteided up his tite in the battle field at Buena Vista, leaving his name to go down to posterity among the gallant dead who have dived in good caure Candidly, when I say [ deeply regret that mpeech. I regret’ that the orator ot other days has been reoreant. I Jove my Vane sod I would not de- tract from the reputation of one of the greatest of American statesman I regret thats man who has been 80 tong before the public, us arraigned his country at the bur of christendom, and charged her with jufamy iv her public acts, [| know not how you may regard it; whether with sorrow or with anger; | only know I ré t it with unaffected regret. Mr Clay proposes to yield up the conquered territory—to yield up the territory be- between the Nueces and the Rio Graode—and in ordér to do this, he had no other ground than the assumption that the war was unjust and impolitic. Mr. Clay says the cause was, the aunexation of Texan, and the order to General Taylor to march bis forcon bet ween the Nueces and the Rio Grande. Now, take Mr. Clay inthe position in which he charges the war on the administration, in tbe annexation of Texas 1 cannot oharge that upon the admioistration, or the triends of the administration; becaure the annexation was caused by a demonstration from the entire country It is my opinion that if the accusation ja made, the people of the coantry will de- food themselves from the charge. Mr. ‘Tyler next pro- oveded to review the question as to the cause of the war, and cited historical facts to show tout it was caused by he deposition of Herrera, und the elevation of Pared who wae pledged to prosecute a war with this count Un the 7th of December, the Government re patches from Mr. Siidell, and: on the Sth, th: ordered Gen. Taylor to the Rio Grande. time, armed Mexicaus crossed the Rio Gran dered our citizens in cold blood. Under the: iroum- stances, the order was given to Gen Taylor that the American flag should protect the American poll, io whatever quarter it might be needed; and, what is | strange then, he Kentucky Legislature pagsed resolu- tions, and the Nyrth American newspaper published in this city, fulminsted abuse ro st the President for his imbecili y. Mr. Tyler then referred to the army and its victories, from Palo Alto up to the present, when the American fing was hoisted on the Hails of the Montezumas; where it floats proudly over the fragments of a broken govern. ment In relation to the extension of our commerce by the increase of territory, he loan nee the da; when the porta of the Pacitic will be crowded with vos. cle wafting into them the treasures of the cast, and the whole world, to enrich this great country; when the commerce of the whole world—the north, east, weat,and south—shall pour forth its treasures into the lap of this | as Andrew Jackson and Wiafleld Scott. (Tremendous and prolonged cheering.) Mr. Barton then read fom a work just from the Londen press, by the Reverend George R. Gleime, giving an account of the last war, and pesdeniacly of the burning of the city of Washington. it is # curious | thing that in that work there is. no mention of Andrew Jackson, to show how Mr. and the British conducted the war; he quoted from the work Me, Glivve’s opinions sto how any future war with this continent ought to be conducted. He says, burn their towns, de- | stroy their shipping, and from every quarter will | go up petitions for peace. Is it fur @ nation | like this to epeak of the unchristian-like man- | ner in which this country hea condueted the war | with Mexico? It is for unac nation—s nation fitonly to be ruled by a worthless blackguard like George t Fourth, or » baby-puppet like Queen Victoria—to o lumniate and abuse tois country’ Is it fora nation | which keeps Albert us a stallion for Victoria, as a | Pennsylvania termer would keep @ stud horse, to prate of civilization’ [tremendous laughter and Uproar] and if apy year rous by that he dows not get her with foal, they will ship nim back to the muddy beer Sad sourkrout of Saxe Cobourg. But, howvever, there is no danger of that ; 1or Viotoria appears to be a concentration of ail the rabbits that ever ran upon all fours This is the nation, the rovber nation, the despoller of India, the oppressor of Ireland, the grasping tyrant by land and wea, which dares malign us for upholding our natiooal honor. | James C.

The Public Dtbt—Kxpenses of the War~Rivers and Harbors—Tra and Coffes—What should be done, ete. We are told in the report, of the Ssoretary of the | Treesury, that the expenses of tho goverament noxt year, will be fifty-five millions of dollars, aad thet the exoons of expenditures over the means, on the first of July, 1849, will be more than thirty-six mitlions; and he further informs us that “if the war is continued un- til the Oret of July next, acd no additional revenue ie provided by Congress, nor any sums received from mili- tary contributions in Mexico, there would be a deficit in the Treasury on that day of nearly sixteon mil- Jions.”> We must hence infer that the Treasury box is aleady scraped to tho bottom. Now, let us add these sixteen millions tothe forty-five millions and two-thirds of debt, due on the first of this mouth, and to the nine millions surplus in the Treasury wuen the isteace of the war way recoguiswd, and we harenes or quite, seventy-ene miliioas of dollars, lade; tly of indetanity for broken legs, and fssh wounds, and bounties and scrip, A huadred millions may bs oeti- mated @ the graud total A “eonquering of poaoe,”? at this rate, is expensive: but we are compensated im part, by the prowess and glory of our arms, sod the session of the Bay of San Francisco, whi elk hown to the world, by our victories, that our republic, though mot essen- tally military, ts always prepsred fora defensive or an lavasive war; t! are equal to any emer- gency, and that we must now command respect from all Ly and to dominion ipesion la Milage ena of Representatives, with a demo- oratio majority of nearly si , the proposed tex 0: tes and ovtlee was scouted.

Febix. Wasninaton, Dec, 17, 1847. Two Cases Considered. Father Ritchie was arraigaed and brought before the House this morning by Mr. Pettit, upon a matter res- pecting which it is altogether probable the editor of the Union was as innocent, if not as ignorant,as the man in the moon, for it is not always that Mr. Ritehic reads the reports of the proceedings before they are published Yet the venerable man was very severely naudled, and we are astonished that old Accomack did not come straight up to the rescue. Mr. Pettit was incorrectly reported, so fur as to be made to appear the man of all others in the United States who_elected James K. Polk, and the father do facto of the tariff bill of 46, notwith- standing the pretensions of one Robert J. Walker. The reporter inavertently, we dare aay, omitted certain qua- lifloations of Mr. P , which would have totally neutral- ized what otherwise appears in the published speech as the most ridiculous egotivm—a sort of egotism which would be excusable in no man exoepting old Bullion, Still, it is always Leet to keep cool in such cases, and attending the mopting, upon the plea of public business, | B°yet te Ay off the handle without due consideration, Col.

The resolutions were rather coldly recely- ed, and passed with no show of enthusiasm. Col. Joun W. Fonnav, editor of Pennsylvanisn, spoke im the came ntrain as the previous speakers.
