It would seem that, after having fought under every name which they conceived would be popu lar;' and contended for almost every measure which was unacceptable to the people, the Federalists are now making a move to gain power by taking the name of " No Party Men," with " no principles for the public eye." The great founder of their politi cal faith,.cnntended that " the rich and well-born should have a principal share in the government; " but was : clefeated in all his mighty efforts to im 'Pose an 'aristocracy upon us.. His followers have sought, (by opposition to all the radical measures recommended by Jefferson and Jackson ; their con tit:l6M sUpport of paper money manufactories, and the eitension of other chartered priviliges.) to ef• . fect;•indirectly, what he sought to carry by direct snit honorable means. The founder of their party - - would have imposed upon the people a splendid government—the several States being subordinate to, it, and their affairs regulated by its authority tfiey have sought to bring the State Governments snider the control of the general government, by grand schemes of internal improvement, the distri bution of the proceeds of sales of the public lands among the States, and the assumption of the State debts. He openly avo ved doubts of the capacity of the people for self-government ; they have not the courage openly to assert this doctrine; but prove that their principles are identical with his, by pursuing such a course as leaves no room to doubt that they think as he thought. Forgetting that great principles of government were asserted in.the formation of our Constitution, antagonist to those sought to be engrafted upon it; and that ' these principles are as antagonist now as they were then ; they are now making an attempt to dupe the people by pretending to a wonderful share of devotion to their interests; and a very pathetic strain of appeal to overcome party differences. In this matter they show as little knowledge of the people, and as as positively question their intelli gence, as though they should directly assert their' lack of capacity for self-government. It remains tirbe seen whether they will not be - 4pin foiled in their attempt at deception. We copied, lately, a resolution, explanatory of the course which they wish to pursue in the ap poaching Presidential contest. That resolution is in accordance with the sentiments avowed, at present, by,the mass of the Federal presses in our country; and some of the more distinguished of their party leaders are taking the same course.— Among this number, we are called particularly. to notice the Federal candidate for Governor in Mary, land, W. T. GOLDS 1110ROCOH, Esq., He was noinilk nated by a Convention of delegates from the State at large, who deemed it unnecessary to make any revelation of the principles for which they meant to contend, and determined to keep their candidate at home. The Democracy of that Sta . e named for the support of their fellow-citizens Pilate F. TM:IXAS, Eq., a gentleman of fine talents, unques tiorml private worth, and political integrity. In , naming him as their choice for the office of Gov ;.or, they also expected and required of him the Ity of visiting the different parts of the State, and asserting before the people the grounds upon which he asked their support—the doctrines of the great Democratic party. The Convention which nominated him recognized the truth of that ever to be remembered sentiment of Mr. Jefferson A frequent recurrence to fundamental princi ples is indispensable to the preservation of liberty." The constant usage of both political parties in Maryland, has been to require of the candidates for office an avowal of the political principles which receive ' their sanction ; and this course would seem indispensably necessary, on the part of all who seek to occupy responsible political statilts. The Gubernatorial candidates have here tofore gone before the people, as men who recog. nixed that they were assuming a great responsibili. ty, in seeking that station ; and have freely con tended for those great principles of government which they were anxious to establish. Mr. Trio:a ss recently addressed a letter to his competitor, inviting him, in accordance with all previous usage, to-visit the different counties in his company—leav ing it to him to name the time when their canvass should commence. To this letter Mr. Gotnsnon ovon replied, that "The Whigs of Maryland, be lieving that the principles which govern them as. ii-party, are well known and understood by the people of the State, in presenting me as their can didate, deemed it unnecessary for tne to make a ' tour of the State, in the mariner you indicate." ' This may therefore be looked upon as the first great move, in the operations of the NO-party party' l " How it will work in " the good old State of Maryland," we are not prepared to say ; - hut we have over-estimated both the intelligence and independence of her citizens, if such an out rage on true republican doctrines shall be sane dotted."

His remains were interred yesterday in the burying grpund on the island of Salmadina, with all the honors of his rank, and the deepest sorrow of his messmates andlfriends. Mr. Parker was greatly admired for his surpass ing talents, and sincerely beloved for his noble gallantry and generosity by all who knew, him.— To his bereaved widow and family we give our deepest sympathy. God send we could relieve her and them of any part of their grief. I enclose to your care one of his letters received a few hours before his death, but too late for him to read it • • • You know how to dispose of it. 1 write to you because you are a friend of the de ceased, and knew his great moral worth;' and re p quest that you will communicate the sad intelli gence to Mr. Parker's wife and family in the manner You think best.

A NOVEL RAILROAD.—The model of a new railway to extend from the Battery to Union Place, in the city of New Yrirk, being a distance of about three miles, is now being exhibited in Philadelphia. The design, it would seem, is, to have two rows of cast iron columns, upon which the rails would be laid, at a sufficient height above Broadway to preveut any interference with that great thoroughfare,—with a promenade on each side of the Railroad. The model is constructed entirely of metal, is upwards ipf thirty feet in length, and has cost the owner more than $3OOO, besides upwards of two years of his time in plan. ning it, and superintending its construction. Mr. RANDEL proposes, after exhibiting it in New York, to take his model to England, where he has secu red' a patent for it. The Stark County (Ohio) Repository states that the burning in effigy of Senator,Corwin at Mon teiey, for his expose of the Mexican war, was got up, by a private (whom it names) of the Stark Rangers, who had been twice dismissed from his company for,Otealing!—.N.

James Irvin's nephew, Mr. Duncan, who figured very extensively in the Bible question in 1841. As his uncle is now the Whig candidate for Governor, he will doubtless furnish his Whig friends here with a copy of his letter charging F, R.

HUM!, the Infidel.—Hume, the celebrated infidel philosopher, and author of a History of England, was dining at the house of an intimate friend. After dinner the ladies withdrew, and in the course of conversation, Hume made some assertion which caused a gentleman present to observe to him,," If you can advance such sentiments as those, you eel - • tainly are what the world gives you credit for be ing—an infidel." A little girl, whom the philoso pher had often noticed, and with whom he had be. come a favorite, by bringing her little presents of toys and sweetmeats, happened to be playing about the room unnoticed: she, however, had listened to the conversation, and on hearing the above expres• sion, left the room, went to her mother, and asked her, "Mamma, what is an infidel?" "An infidel! my dear," replied her mother; "wh t y should you ask such a question? an infidel is so awful a char acter; that I hardly know how to answer you." Oh! do tell me, mamma," returned the child, "1 must know what an infidel is." Struck with her eagerness, her mother at length replied, "An infi del is one who believes there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no hereafter." Some days afterwards, Hume again visited the house of his friend. On being introduced into the parlor, he found no one there but his favorite little girl; he went to her and attempted to take her up in his arms to kiss her, as he had been used to do; but the child shrunk with horror from his touch. "My dear," said he, "what is the matter? do I hurt you!" "No," she replied, "you do not hurt me, but I cannot kiss you, 1 cannot play with you." "Why not, my dear?" "Because you are au infi del!" "An infidel! what is that?" "One who believes .there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no hereafter." "And are you not very sorry for me, my dear V' asked the astonished philosopher.— " Yes, indeed, I am sorry!" returned the child with solerionity, " and I pray to God for You." "Do you, indeed"- and what do you say?" " 1 say— () God teach this man that thou arts" What a striking illustration of the words of sacred writ, "Out of the. mouths - of babes and sucklings thou bast ordaiiied strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still, the enemy and avenger."

' A correspondent• from Washington depicts with laconic truth, in the following words, the real situ ation of Mekican affairs; "Interest increases, anxiety arguments, doubts multiply, and the hopes of an immediate peace diminish in direct propor tion. Scott must give them battle, the most terri ble of all, and perhaps the last; but it is necessary it should occur, and the first news we shall receive will be.that it has taken place. After this battle; shall we have peace? It is doubtful. Speak as much as you will of the peace party in Mexico, such a party does not exist. To have peace, the first thing to be done is to create this party, sustain it, treat with it, put it in power, and keep an army there, perhaps for years, to maintain peace, and the peace party at the head of ---.--. , It is difficult to explain in a more brief manner, the present and the future state of the war, or to show in fewer words why peace is impossible, and under what condition it might become feasible. In truth, in this labyrinth, filled with hypothe ses of conjectures, of hopes, and of projects, perhaps the only possible issue has been pointed out—the anticipated idea of establishing in Mexico a gov ernment de facto to treat with it—simply to give to a treaty a real validity, it would be necessary to sustain this government so long as it would want support. The entire occupation of the Mex ican territory, which appears to be the order of the day, would greatly interfere with the desired result, and be the means of causing an endless war. It is useless to cherish any reasonable hope of, seeing a serious peace party formed in Mexico,, with any chance of duration. Our opinion of this', subject is based upon the component parts of the , nation with which the United States has to deal—, a composition whose heterogeneous elements pox , sess no force of cohesion, as we have said in - one, of our last articles on the same subject. A rapid', glance at these elements will suffice to convince, one of this truth. The population of Mexico is composed of three, classes of individuals, viz: strangers, Indians, or 1 , properly called Mexicans—that is to say descend- 1 ants of the aborigines—and Mexicans descended I from the Spanish race. True it is, if these three classes formed a whole I body, or even a nationality, the triumph of peace I would be soon acomplished. I As regards the strangers, it is useless to say, war to them is indeed scourge. The man who expa-I triates himself, does it for one of two objects—l either to make a fortune, to enable him to return to his native country, or else to find a new home,) which offers him an easier and more agreeable sub-I sistence than the one he left. In either of these I cases, peace is his first interest and his first desire, and most ardently does he pray for it. But his) voice is without influence.; and his advice more! , often received with defiance than with favor. 1 The aboriginal Mexicans ate very much in the] same condition, but under circumstances totally] different. Cast off with the lowest grades of socie. 1 ty, for the most part mule-drivers, deprived of all learning, strangers to their government and the I political state of their country, they live insolated in their degradation ; they spend their time be tween the trade they have chosen, the wife they have selected, and their rigarito, which compose the essential part of their existence. For them also, peace is the first blessing; but even for this reason,the enemy who leaves them to enjoy the .- life of labor and apathy, is pretty much the same 1 thing as the compatriot who governed them yester day;and provided they gain a few more reals, or tobacco dues not become dearer, this would be the enemy they would prefer. This explains the in ertia of a people who will allow themselves to be conquered by a handful of men, and only interrupt .their way of life long enough to allow them time enough to examine the uniform of the new-corners. The Spanish Mexicans alone remain to represent what is called the Mexican nation. These are also divided into two classes—those who possess something, and those who possess nothing. The former naturally is the friend of peace; but the 1 latter, on the contrary, is its declared enemy; for war is always a resource to those who have nothing. This latter class have succeeded for the last twenty years in pluging Mexico in revolu tion; and this fact alone proves that they possess this power, and will continue to use it, until some powerful influence throws into the balance its de cisive weight. This brief expose suffices to prove what we have often said—that the majority of Mexico is in favor of peace ; but that this majority will never be formed into a true party until some energetic power will come to its aid. and serve at the same time as a rallying centre and a point of, support. Episcopal Missions.—The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States contributed the last year for the support of domestic missions, $22,.. 602; and for foreign missions, $30,425. Of this amount the churches in the State of New York contributed $15.258; in South Carolina, $6,310; and in Massachusetts, $5,208. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.—A letter in the Toronto Colonist, purporting to come from a Can adian now travelling in Europe, says that the fam ous campanile of Pisa was thrown down, on the stir of June, by an earthquake—the writer pro fcssing to have bean present and seen it fall. If the story is true it is very odd that no account of an event so remarkable has been seen in any o the English or French papers.

THOMAS BAKEWELL, • Prosident Truatees P. G: au 13•td LOCAL MATfit,RS''• TOB,ISISCII3IIGED Convicrs. -This name of a Society that has been-orgabized for some • time in Charleston, Mass. The , mime indiCates its object. A statement: taken from the Christian World, which 'We iablisi.,belotv, 'shoW the . amount of good sueh a society is eapable of doing- An institutionpf the kind has been proposed for this coi.nty. SoMe of best men have publicly advo cated i.; and.to convince any man of ihe necessity there is or one, it is only required ; that he should visit the jail, or learn thellistory and present con dition of a few of the inmates,—learn how many are regular tenants of that building; how many have spent the greater portion of their lives in prison. - • From the Christian World. This meritorious Society was organized here abotit nine months ago, and its benevolent object is to as sist the convicts, which are discharged from the State's Prison at Charlestown, in finding employ-. ment and obtaining an honest support. Such men need friends at the moment of their release,Weyer in their lives. They are peculiarily exposd to the temptations of relapsing into thetr former evil cour ses. Their prison acquaintances are, in many cases, almost their, only acquaintances . . At this critical period, the Society undertakes to find them ahome. From the acquaintance the Society forms with him while he is in confinement, they con judge what kind of employment he can most successfully pur sue. They exert themselves to find such an occu pation for him, and to establish him in some business, with the chance of going forward and becoming au upright and respected man. This Society commenced its operations, April 4th, 1846. Since that time fifti-five convicts have been discharged, all of whom have been directly or indi rectly aided. Not one of them have been re-com mitted to prison. Last year fifteen were re-commit ted. Twenty dollars was loaned to one of them.— He is now in a most responsible situation, is doing well; and has already refunded a part of the loan. Heretofore the discharged convict has been shun ned. He rarely found employment, and this fact has often paved the way for -the re-commission of crime, and re-commitment to prison. Now the scene is changed, and through the benevolent and humane offices of thiS institution, many convicts will be sav ed from the repetition of criminal acts, and conver ted into industrious, respectable, and useful citizens. Surely, such an institution as this is, in the eloquent language of Robert Hall, is one of the multiplied blessings which Christianity scatters by the way in her sublime march to immortality." MERTlNGS.—Yesterday,morn i rig and afternoon meetings were . held in the . park of the American House, Penn street, which were ad dressed by Frederick Douglass, Wm. Lloyd Gar rison, and (we, believe) others. .W . e...,,were present a part of the time at the afternoon meeting.— There was an immense crowd ou•white anfl. black of both sexes and all ages. Excellent Oer pre vailed, which we notice to the credit of the city. The address of Mr. Douglass was characterized by sarcasm, invective, simile and argument. He spoke boldly in favor of a dissolution of the Union, —this, in fact, was his theme. He denounced the Federal Constitution and all the men now at the head of the Government. He was particularly severe on those who are now leading the American armies in Mexico. According to Mr. Douglass, the British government is making grand strides towards freedom and justice. We are glad to hear this, and believe he speaks true. His assertion that our government is " going down" will hardly be taken as 'Gospel, until some -- More substantial evidences of the fact can be adduced. We could not wait for Mr. Garrison's speech, though we lied great desire to listen to him. We understand that these meetings will be con tinued for several days. TILE COCItT OT DEATEL—This is truly a mas ter piece of art. Every figure is complete and perfect ; and it is difficult to say in which repre sentation the artist has excelled. We have visited Philo Hall twice to see the painting, and are not yet satisfied—we wish to go again, and again.— Some of the figures have made deep and indelible impressions upon our mind, and at this moment we behold the characters as vividly as though we were gazing upon the canvass. To appreciate this great painting, a person should study each character separately, and spend considerable tir9e in so doing. If PEALE had never employed his pencil in anyotherdrawing, the picture of FAmrsz , on the night of the canvass, would of itself imp mortalize his name. The representations are al good. and we shalt endeavor to give them a more full and satisfactory notice hereafter. 4 • Astraitcssr ART INION.—We are pleased to learn that this Institution is now in a prosperous condition. From the circular we learn that it was incorporated for the promotion of the Fine Arts in the United States. Each subscriber of Fiat Dollars, becomes a member of the Art Union for one year. The funds are applied :—first, to the production of large and costly engravings, of which every member receives a copy ; and, next to the purchase of original Paintings, and other works of art, by native or resident artists,whicb are publicly distributed, by lot, among the mem bers, at the annual meeting in December. The number of paintings distributed last year was 146, all richly framed. The paintings this year will be more numerous and valuable ; and in addition there will be distributed 230 bronze medals, commemorative of Washington Alston, now in progress, for the members alone. And each mem ber will receive two engravings—" The Jolly Flat- Boat Men," by Doney, after Bingham; and "A Sybil," by Casilear, after Huntington. The business of the Institute out of the city of New York is transacted by Honorary Secretaries;, I and Mr. CALDWELL, of the Literary Depot, in the Post office Building, having been appointed for this city, will give any information to those who wish to subscribe that may be desired. ROB 11.611T-ESCAIiE-RESCIJE - COMMITTMEN T. Clair street has not been localized much late ly ; but yesterday imorning a scene occurred in that vicinity which threw the quiet citizens into grand confuson for a time. A negro woman, named BetseyfForeman, was detected by her mis tress, Mrs. Gosling, in the act of carrying•off some articles of ladies' dress ; whereupon she cajoled the pilferer into a room and then locked the door, in hopes to secure her till an office could he found. But this failed, for Betsey discovered. there were windows in the room, and reckless of consequen ces, glte a Sam Patch leap, and came down upon the pavement, bringing the awning with her. She took to her heels, but did not get fay, when officer Johnson, of the' Independents, seized her, and walk ed her up to the office. Alderman Steele, after a brief examination, committed Miss Betsy Fore man for trial. ccl. An unfeeling wretch, whose misfortune it is to own a horse, was discovered yesterday beating the poor animal most unmercifully, with the butt end of his whip. Some humane persons interfered ; and one of them very delicately gave the two-leg ged brute a heavy kick, no doull with a view to illustrate the benefit of flogging: , Is there not some punishment for "cruelty to animals ? " We see frequent necessity for the, interference of offi cers of justice, in cases such as the above. ecyWe understand that Fleck has commenced a civil suit Against one of tire persons whom he accuses of being in the riot at his house i, and lays his damages. at $5,000. There will be litigation enough in this matter before, it ends; from present appearances.. .• . • , .•• 07Tti,e'lEnnoliegi i re their first and Dilly Con cert on •Monday evening next, in the Athenwurn.
