The law, his honor said, was plain and unequivocal. CULT AND THE CILLT DUEL.- We hope that every citizen will read the following powerfully written me: morial, sent to Congress by the citizens of Pittsburgh, praying the expulsion of every member who was in any manner accessary to the duel between Graves and Cilley. There can be no doubt the memorialists bad Mr. CLAY in their mind's eye when they penned their powerful denunciation of the "bloody ritual, which a degraded morality would dignify with the title of "later of lzmor." None of t hem will dare to deny that Mr Clay was accessary to the deliberate murder of poor Cilley. He was the lending spirit. in all the preliminary steps; it ails by his advice dint Graves pushed the duA to its bloody consummation, and it'aas his hand thatpenned the challenge in such terms as left no opening for a reconciliation. Wtse,tbe second of Graves, was in favor of a more humane course, but had to yield, for.as was proven, Mr' Graves ass fortifi ed "by the BETTER COUNSEL OF MR. CLAY." In Mr Wise's testisnony Lostates,"Cusy drew the loran of the challenge with his own hand.' and further, he says, "I opposed but, Mr Clay APPROVED of the n!loption of tbe terms—to Agit Kitt' 44fies." and he adds, "In - defence of the coarse pursued by Mr. Graves, I !levet failed to quote the authority ni dke •Dviot or His *mum Ma CLAY ' Mr Clay iie never attempted to dotty his partici pation in the Cille4• duel, but on the contrary, by his conduct and expressions, evinced u fe..iiug of exultu_ ion anhe succe-s of the deliberately planned schethe to remove a fearless opponent from the Hells of Con gress. When he was implored to use 1.13 efforts to stop the duel, he replied, th.lt "BEING THE YRILND or Ma GRAVES, I COULD NOT MAKE THE AUTHORITY or THE 'POLICE To PEUVENT THE DUEL." These facts were well known to the memo' ialists, and HLEHT.CLAT,thefriend andadviserofGraves, notwithstanding his prominent position before the ; country, they did nut except him from their sweep , ing denunciation and peremptory demand fur the ex pulsion of all the abettors; and they begged Con ' gress to "purge itself from the stain of association with men whot-uo thus deliberately imlinto their hands in blood." The . folloWing is the memorialtaa I we sant% a por tion of the names thai were attached to it. As many of these gentlemen are prominent Clay men, we, would like to know what argument has clanged their horror for the murder of Cilley, or how they can now support the principal adviser in that bloody tragedy. To the Honorable the House of Representatives of the raided States. . The undersigned, citizens of Pittsburgh. Allegheny County, Pa., respectfully represent. that with mingled in emir end iudigoatitai. they hare heard of the recent' death of one of your honorable body, Jonathan Cilley. a representative from the state of Maine, by the hand of mother member, William J Graves, a representative floor the *rate of Keetucky ; and that representatives from other mates, to wit, Henry A Wise, of Virginia, George W Jotter, of Wisconsin, and Alexander Dun can, of Ohio, were present, aiding and abetting in the foul tricgorly. , Your ummirialists, each and all, owe no allegiance to the bloody ritual which a degraded morality would dignify with the title of .'of laws of honor." They do not boa so vile a bondage. They recoguize no laws but those enacted by the constitutional authority or the land, and sanctioned by the Word of God. .... The practice of duellit g they consider as utter by un• justifiable. If its object be to avenge injuries for is hich the law gives redress, it coin tenances that spirit of in sulandinution to all law, which is already rife in our country. Hit be to avenge injuries which the law of the land cannot reach—though few indeed ate such cases—it, rot the best, pluck ims the alarming doctrine, that one wrong justifies another; a duc trine fraught with consequences ruinous to our race.— Fancied insults, and violations elf courtly etiquette are it usual excuses. But blottdisa compensation a hun dred fold tit} great for any insult. This. time and truth will efface; that, nothing will ever wash out. The sixth commandment has no exceptions. The brand of the murderer must forever be enstamped on the brow of the duellist. Your memorialists must also regard the duel to which they now a..ik your solemn attentitm, espec!ally, and as similar occurrences amongst their representativer,all iesults of the highest kind to the majesty of the people. By such means, they may be deprived in times of great public exigency, of die sea vices of those whom they havecommittrd the management of their cummott in ter:esti!: and such is now the case. By such means, hos tile feelings ore engettered amongst those who 1111.61(1, for the good of their constituents, runitavin amicable personal relations. Aral in this way also, do the law givers of the land becqme the law-breakers; thus'de -1 priving the laws themselves of all tile moral force, with which their own purity and oprightncss of lite would ! invest them. . But timely the day has passed when a practice so to volting to all moral principle; Al) ruthless in rending asunder thedearest and tentletest ties of domestic life, so regardless of the opinions of the wise and good; so reckless of human law, and so heaven-during in its ev ery aspect ;can be countertnneed by those who sits in their high places of power. and give law and example to fifteen millions of humunbeings. With equal, if not greater, detestation and horror. do your memorialists regard, and do they trust that yousehonorable body will regard, the conduct of the seconds aid abettors iu this transaction. For the princirals in nay duel, the plea of personal affront might be urged—though your memorialists cannot re . gar,' this no a justification. even for them; &id in this case. especially. the alleged provocation they consider puerile in the extreme. But what shall be said of the men who could calmly stand by mad assist two delu ded fellow-beings in their predetermined murderous at tempts? And yield this assistance too, until at the third fire, the death-wound wits given? , Forever must they stand convicted of cool, premeditated murder:— Your memorialists beg, by all that is valuable in-law. by all that is sacred in morOty, ur fearful in religion, that your honorable body will at alien and forever purge itself from .the stein of association with men who can thus deliberately lab' ue their hands in blood. Your memoriedisui trust that this horrid custom of it leatbarma and savage age, perpetuated by civil -iced men who seek to hide their luck of mrral courage underthe mask of physical prowess, will receive Crum your action in the premises, no countenance or support. They come to ask that this aria:ism] spot may be wash ed.fram your Hall; and that in !Le Council Chamber of rite nation, its representatives may avenge thir high linnthatiadiont to the majesty of the laws.

POLL YOUR VOTES IN THE FORENOON! RoortaActr..—A correspondent of dm Evrnieg Post. who has been well acquainted with the alleged author of the Ruorback Frau.l for sonic twenty years, in a communication to the Post, says: 'it is not true, as stated in the Ithaca Chronicle, that Mr Linn is a Democrat. He is, and always has been, a Whig. He is a man of distinguished talent, and the author of a gaod law work, "Lambert on Dower," but fir many yeuts he was a drunkard, and on a promise of reformation the Democrats did elect him Justice of the Pence. But he has, I believe, been a regular correspondent of the Ithaca Chronicleand an avowed Whig during the whole period. I do not write this for publication, but that you may. on author ity, contradict the assertion that it is a "Loco Fuco Forgery." INSPECTORS AND JUDGES Thy 103 , 1 of the act r,lating to eleetiqns is as fol lows. viz: " If any inspector or joage of election shrill know " ingly, reject the vote of any qnalified citizen, or " knowingly, rect ive the vote of any person not quali " fled, or conceal from his fellow officers any fact on " the knowlcslgo of which such vote should by law be "received or rejected, each of the persons so otfi•nd "ing,thall,on conviction Mt pintished in tho manner " prescribed in the 10/ th section of this act."

CONSISTENCY In the Coon House, yesterday, nn man was as tank against illegal voting, as that eminent Democrat, Joseph Knox, Esq. We would like., to know if this is the same Knox who procured the assessment of a regular ly commissioned United States officer, now a transient boarder at the Exchange Hotel, fur the purpose df ob. mining his vote at the Governor's election to-day Wecati prove that Knox had him assessed fur that pur pose, anti the assessment is on his pay as a United States officer. Did Mr Knox know when he had this done, that by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United. States the assessment was illegal, because the salary or pay of the officer was not taxablei We would like to know further, whether officers in the Navy of the United States who happen to ho in Pennsylvania at her state elections can vote for her state officers merely because they can procure lawyers to have them assessed? Is a man a citizen of Penn sylvania who is here by accident an the day of the election and may he qrdered off to Florida or Arkan sas on the' next slay and never show his face in the state again ? 23 CENTS. 701 t THE POST. HARD DIG AT HENRY AND CASSIUSCLAY. The Alexandria Gazette, one of the ablest of all the twhig papers in this Union, has the fidlowing remarks: "The Abolitionists of the North are playing a grime which but confirms and clinches the, opinion we have always entertained for them—and that is, that they are utterly, as a.class, destitute of honest political sen timents, •or ro-gard for their area professed priori pfes—and that those who play fast and loose with them, ace •o better in reality , than the Abolitionists themselves. Now who are "playing fast and loose with the Abo- Htinni , ts" more indefatigably than Cassius M. Clay. Jos!nal ILtliddnigs and many oth••r elevated tools of Henry Clay. Look: fur instance, at the coofidential letter of Healy Clay to his emissary sad kinsman, Cassius. Rend the following expression in the last parngrnph of that letter. 'lam afraid that yore are too Tangerine in supposing that any considerable num ber of the Liberty mon can be induced to support me. How tan that bo expected after they have voted agaitbq Slath.?" So it appears that Mr Clay was very nnxiops for "a considerable number of Liberty votes;' but, much '•tsfraid' that he would not get them. In the former pad of the same confidential letter, Mr Henry Clay says to Cassius, °you can have no idea of the injury which your letter in the Ttibmie was doing here, and that was nothing in comparison to that which it was likely to do the Whig cause in Tennes see, North Carolina and Georgia. Our friend John Speed Smith, as well as others, thought it might even endanger Kentucky." Again be adds, "undcr these circumstances, there was an absolute necessity fur the note which I published, though I regretted it ex ceedingly." The amount of•this is,that Henry was very willing that Cassius should gain him Liberty voles by tepre canting him tube& friend of emancipation; but when he found that such representation* wale doing him vast injury in North Carolina, Get:rgivantiTennessee, and even ' endangeting Krmucky, ' he was forced to put out a pab/ie disavowal and repudiationof Cassias. and then to send a private apology, explaining why he wasfurced to distavow and disown hint.. Was there ever more contemptible "playing fast and leeta' than is there divlayeel Look again at the 'ionduct of the "polecat" Joshua R Giddings in reading& letter from Cassino M • Clay, stating that it was from Afe 'Clay thus producing the impression that it was from Henry Clay, and permit ting the impression to remain until &weed to *Slain, just as Henry was eurapelled lately to do. Again, look at the rott•ot arrangement fur a discus sion between Gerrit Smith and C M Clay. ha which Ithelatter ts tolabor to prime that Liberty meeNthould prefer Henry Clay to. Dim,. IMPoRTA NT LEGAL OPIN zoN.—Judge Baird of this city, in his chaructetistic zeal f ir the Natives, stated in the District Court, this morning, on the ar gument of certain mooted questions, about the va lidity of naturalization papers presented to Court, that the law required, in all Capes. the testimony of citizens ns vonehors, for persons applying to be admit. ted as naturalized foreigners, under our Acts of Con gress. The gentleman was so clear upon the honest con victions he entertained in this respect, that he actually expressed his belief that a natural born citizen of the United States, was not entitled to the rights and p rivi leges of a natural born citizen in the contem plation of the Law and Constitution, in case the father of such person was not a naturalized citizen. Tho Court very properly expressed dissent to those extravagant opinions or Native doctrines advocated by the learned Judge, no doubt in a moment of polit ical excitement, when many a good ntatt's tongue runs too fast for his wit..

This reward says the Boston Times, is about as - veil deserved us was the compliment paid a Yankee militia "capting" and his company, who were sent to disperse a mob, and ,shich was something to this effort: ••Cvpting, the Town Council return you a vino of thanks fin the expeditious" in tuner in which you node your escape tram the en toned mob!" "OWNING TN?. CORN! ' —We ex.ract the following from a communication which we find in the Frederick Citizen. k oecurriql in the course of a distListim be tweet) Mr Kiser. Democrat. and Mr Clasen, coon: "Mr Biser, in closing, said that rumor reported that Mr Clay was sitting in his parlor auxiously waiting the news from the Baltimore Convention. and when the first days. pntecdings were beard, and Mr Vnn lltiren was likely to be the man. Clay said he c•mtld "lick kitn;" the next day the news ram, that Cats would likely be the nominee, and Clay sail again, In. could "lick him;" but when the third day's proceed inga came, notifying him that Polk was nominated, be exclaimed in en agony of despair, "beat again, by G—d." Mr Biser ouid he did not vouch for the truth of the anecdote, and remarked that if it Wall not true his opponent might correct him—when anti behold! Mr Carron replied that "it was true." %Veil, said Mr Biser, the gentleman admits it. and I take his admission, for it would have taken me twice us lung to Athve !moved it." FOR THE ?OAST Mr. Clay's defective Memory.—We have always charitably attributed the discrepancy betvrrea the statement' of Mr. Clay's recent letter., and the facts of which they treated, to his failing memory, the COll. sequence of r apidly nava twine age. In his recent let ter on the subject of the bankrupt law, our! ngricid ture—a 'ovum! association, considering the operation of his tariff system on the farming interest—he makes the following assertion: ."Expressious disparaging to agriculture, or rather to the habits of those who pursue it, have been put into my mouth, and paraded at the bead even of news papers. I never used such expression.. They have been forged or fabricated, by political enemies." Yet in the "Life and speeches of Henry Clay." pub lished by Greeley and MeEltath, of the Tribune or lice, (a work carefully prepared by Mr. Clay's ft iends,) the following paragraph appears: "Ire one respect there is a great ditference in favor of manufeeteres, when compared with agriculture. It is the rapidity with which the whole manufacturingcom munity avaihthetaselves of an improvement. It is in stoutly communicated and put in operation. There is an avidity for improvement in the one system—ao aversion to it in the other. The habits of genera tion after generation pass clove (he long track of time in succession, without the slightest change in agriculture. The ploughman who fastens his I plough to (he tail of his cattle, will not own that there is any other mode cynallo lri4. An agricultn ml people will be in the neighborhood of other com munities who have made the greatest progress in hits handry, witlient advancing in the slightest degree." Now there is no doubt that the sentences here placed in ithlics, which the democratic pnpers have copied, among them the Buffalo Eronotni.t, in %Ont+e columns ne i find this correction, are the ones which Mr Clify branded as "forged and fabricated by political enemies.'! Are not these things signs of a failing memory?—.Albany Atlas. Me state of the New York coon.—Tho critter still ShaWS his teeth.

We published a portion of the defence of Gen M'' Calla, of 'Kentucky, the other day,in which he proved by the most reliable men that Henry is stills Gambler. We shall row say more on the subject, since we have the proof from one of the most intimate of Mr Clay's political and personal friends to out only sustain Gen M'Cialla. but also to sustain chames that we and other democratic editors have made of the same nature. Gen M'Calla odd in his communication, doted the 17th nit : "I have not been able to procure the positive state ment of any person who 3111/ the games at the Blue Licks, awl must rely on the witnesses produced, by Mr Clay's frieutls mll64llllit him of a charge which I did not make, viz: that be played there on the Sabbath A gentleman of this city authorizes mo to say that Mr Vertner, one of Mr Clay's certifiers, told him that ho ;Mr Veneer) himself played apart of the time with Mr Clay; and :NW Moore, who resides near the Blue Licks, informs me that Mr Bland, the other witness, told him that Mr Clay played thera.atth.tt time, and that ho saw him.
