But the city politicians, the; " old Hunkers" : of the party, labored hard to se cure the nomination of Mr. Daisie, and the result shows that; they. were successful. Mr. Dante is any thing hut popular with hiS party. He has been a' standing candidate for ninny long years. running on any ticket, and attaching himself to any faCtion or , branch of. the Party, be thought possessed numerical strength. He has been a po litical weathercock and ambidvxter for the last fifteen years.

There were some half dozen "whig" youngsters in the field, but their names do not appear in the proceed ings; we must therefore conclude that their ma ternal relations iwould not aIIOW them to go out on thaday the Convention met,,, to "cut fantastic tricks tiefore high -heaven!"

NA al!' .I C - Embodied in the proceedings of the Felleral Con vention of the 24.1 instaniv we find a string of thir teen resolutions, which are entitled to notice, only because of their being sanctioned .(unaniniour/y, as we arCinformed by one of their org,ans—the Ga zette,) by the representatives of,'llll the "Whigs' - of Allegheny County. Theseresolutions , ate the most-complete-piece of claptrap production, which we remember to have seen for years; and, were it notythat we know there are many men in the Fed eral ranks in this county, poss.eised of sufficient intelligence and talents, to direct the minds of their fellow men to the consideration , of political truths, we would feel no other sentiment than that of pity for a lody of men, numbering no less than eighty. and.representing several 'thousands, who could bring themselves to the sanction of such a mass of nonsense and ignorance: ;.

We can entertain no higher opinion than this; of the resolutions offered at the.' late. convention of the 4 , Whigs;" and yet we Must take some notice of;them ; or permit the imilession to exist on some 'minds, that the positions taken in them arc true. It would be much more •agreeable to us to find, that we were contending against men who flit that there were high, , honntabie; and cOmprehetiaive 'grounds of principie,upon #hich they were contending, 1 er than ngetinst a mere factinn, whose sole policy seems to he to eliade any expreSsion of - political opinion;, andfsvbq occupy points of defence so ix ceedingly "minute, that even - the attenuated limits of a spider's thread'would be capacious in.propor tion to them.

There are 400 dwellings above the present basin, which by the payment of $7 90 per arum each, will nett the sum of $3,000, or equal t G per cent. upon the whole cost of the work. Mr. Totten says, ~ a part of the Srh Ward, on Boy 'a Hill, will also have to be supplied from this basin, and considering the rapid increase which is novilgoing on in these three wards, and the great stimulus which a supply of water would give to their; improvement, and consequent increase of revenue, both from water and taxes, the city could not be the loser by erecting the works; which would . be a very,simple operation, requiring only a single engineer, instead of the man who now re sides at the present basin, without further assis. t an cc.' The majority report, drawn up by Mr. 'Thomas Ilakewkl, is extremely hostile to the contemplated improvement; and without entering into any calcu lation to disprove the estimate of Mr. Totten, the membe l rs of the Committee are intuitively convin ced, thit the works will cost more than the sum named; has the present works far exceeded the esti• mate upon which they were constructed.
