Supply. Yourselves with lekels. *6 - request our Democratic friends in the vari ous j iownships to call at the dike oldie Daily Post imMediately, and supply thetnselves with tickets. This matter should not be neglected, by any means King Log of: the Gazette. We cannot sufficiently admire the calm, cool self;cOmplaisance of King log of the Gazette, With what equanimity, with what dictatorial pomposity, he draws himself up, and, like Sir Ora : cle,lpours out his critical fulminations on our poor devoted editorials! He is perfectly excrutiating ! Oh 1 what shall we do, whither shall we fly to es ' cape this terrible reviewer? If he don't stop we will be a used up - man ! for his irony, like the sun in dog-days, has destroyed all our "verdt&e," and ther is nothing left of us save the "sear and yeL low leaf!" • Some of hii attacks upon us have been perfectly carnivorous! Alas; alas! that we should have forsaken the."verdant" hills of Ohio to be de voured alive, 'without benefit. of.clergy, by such a bloOdsucker! We can say' nothing without hav ing King Log to pounce upon us. If we sit down welare vordant"—green—from the country! if we rise up, we are et‘pcetical rhapsodist!' and should we , mount on "Pegassus" and fly to 'the very tip top summit of Olympus, we dare say the Gazette man would be found sticking beneath the tail of our steed! Day by day the Gazette comes to us, and it is like eating coals of fire to read it! Like a horrible shadOw it follows us in the night and destroys our slumbers! It may be fancy, but we hear it in a monotone, "when the moon am gwine aWay," crying "Gtzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z," and when, in agonizing fear, we attempt to slap it off, with a sharp, shrill ettc! it darts out of our reach, to whirl, and reel, aid dance above us like a perfect ittip,of darkness! 'Do hare mercy on us, dear Mr. Wiaite, for our'suffeitings is intolerable! Were the editor of the Gazette an "Hyrchn tiger" or an earm'il rhinoceros," had he the strength of Hercu les-, the valor of Alcides, or the proportions of the giant of Otranto. we might screw up our courage tolhe stickiro , point and venture to defend ourself I from his attacks; but such are not the shapes he comes in. • Alas! how is it 'possible to contend with a pesty, buzzing, blood-sucking insect, that even could one hope to demolish him would not bel worth the tenth part of the arnmunition expend ' ekin the contest. Could one catch him; it would bat dirty one's fingers to crush him; in fact the bet ter policy would be to act as uncle Toby did to wards the fly-"Go; poor devil!" said my uncle Tfiby, raising,the' window, "go! the world is wide enough for both of us!" But still, a philosophic pcilicy like that won't do with this editor of the ti,." Gazette. Henry. Clay excused himself for fighting a duel with John Randolph, by saying that he look ed upon the knight of Roanoke only in his public 'character, as a representative of the people of the Ohl Dominion, and not in his private one, of a crack -brained gentleman: just so in his public ca parity we must look upon the blathering fool of the Gazette; though nature made him a blockhead, the respectable patrotis of his paper have elevated him to the rank of King Log! In his robes of royalty, only, Will we have any thing to do with him. Should his log-ship make war upon our edi torials we will never defend them; they are dashed off curry* calama, and are at his or any other critic's service. They may be torn, turned, tortur ed and twisted into a thousani shapes and it won't distress us. The editor of the Gazette may indulge iii his witticisms about our "poetical flights," but We hope he will never have occasion to charge us • - with his own characteristic, which is leadeu dul. ; - nets. We have said more than we intended, but our pen would write on—it has a diamond point, but we sha'at let it scratch him. We ask forgiv :ess from our readers for playing truant to settle our account with the Gazette man. • We shall let him alone for a while-unless he buzzes too much about our ears. One thing he may be assured of, the will never retaliate; he may write to eternity and we will' never transfer a single effusion from his Bceotian scull to our paper for c t Weal dissection. His scribblings are tainted—attic salt would'nt save them; they. would stink if preserved 'in amber. Good bye, Mr. King - Log! before you, again at tempt to be witty with our "rhapsodies," turn your eyes a little more inwardly, and say this short pray er, and perhaps you will be graciously freed by the gude lord from 'a little of that extra vanity • • which is your besetting sin • A.Giadelord! would thou the giftie gie us, 1 To see oursers as ithers see us, ' It would fra mony a blonder free us; And foolish notion," Col. WILSON 14 . CANDLES5.—Hear what Gen • Bowman, the talented editor of the Bedford Ga: iettei says of our candidate for Congress:—"This distinguished gentleman is the Democratic nomi nee for Congress in Allegheny County, and we are truly glad to learn that his prospects of success are very good. He is certainly one of the most talen ted men men in this State, and would do honor to himself and our people in the capacity of a Rep_ resentative in the Congress of the United States. lire have been much gratified in perusing a speech • ereccritly delivered by the Colonel in Wiikinsburg, t and fully concur in the opinion expressed by the 4 Editors of the "Democratic Union."-' .0:7.

It affords us pleasure to say , that Mr. LATROBE, the engineer of the Baltithore and Qhio Railroad, will commeneehis survey to, -day, of the Pittsburgh and Cannellsville Railroad; and furthermore, that the distinguished President of the Baltimore Com pany, the.

Rums, Esq., Editor of the Jourital called upon us since the publication of our last paper, and requests us to say, that be never told any person that he .disapproved of the course pursued by the Editor of the Gazdte, in regard to Mr. Etamexon's double game of Masonry and An timasonry. He demanded our informant's name , which we declined giving, not wishing to raise questions of veracity in reference to this or any oth er matter. We then asked Mr. Rinnir. if he did approve cf the course of the Gazette?—which goes_ tion he declined answering. This is a "negative pregnant,•" (in legal parlance) in relation to which the public can form their own opinion. Fins.—A frame stable, belonging to Mr. Mc 31.esTrats, proprietor of the Eagle Tavern, Liberty street, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning between three and uix. o'clock. The Work of an incendiary. • SHIPWRECK AND GREAT Loss OF LIFE.-By the United States frigate Constitution, at New York from the Pacific, via Rio deJaneiro, we have an account of the loss of a Russian government brig,'near the hisbor of St. Peter and St. Paul, on the coast of Kamschatka, in the - month of October, 1845. The vessel was. from Okotsk, with a cargo of wheat, for the winter supply of the colony—mount ed six guns and had a compliment of thirty or forty men, besides sixteen passengers, most of whom were women and children. . One passenger only (a girl about eighteen years of age,) the commander,.and about ten of the crew: succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. The re mainder, with the exception of a man who was crushed to death by a gun, found a watery grave. It appears that in a heavy gale' from the south east, the vessel anchored near the reef instead of making for one of the many safe harbors with which the bay is filled; and a heavy swell setting in, she parted her cables and went ashore. "A FAILING TREASVIII."—The Whigs are busy in representing that the general government is nearly out of funds. This is all gammon. The WashingtOn Union says: "We warn the people of, a ronspirary to injure the government and the , country, by endeavoring to induce the impression that there is 'a failing treasury.' The means of the government are ample; it has a surplus in cash of more than five millions, and large accruing re venue; its treasury notes are receivable now every . where in payment of public dues, and redeemable here in specie at the treasury, whether before or after maturity; and the unpatriotic effort to depre-, date them will prove a signal failure, and will sink the projectors to the level of the enemies of their country during the last war." MOUE REIN TO THE RIMMED DT THE TAIIITY : OP 1846.-By the Foreign News which we pub, lished on Saturday, it will be seen that the price , of bread-stuffs has experienced a furthur advance What will the Whigs say? What •will Deacon White say? Will the Deacon lift up his eyes in holy horror and proclaim it "impious" to attribute this relief to the farmers to the sagacity of the Democratic party, and the operation of the Tariff of 1846? The Whigs consider it all fair to charge the de. pression of bread-stuffs on the modification of the Tariff, but it is "impious" to give the new Tariff any credit for prosperity. ACCOUNTANTS INSTITUTE.—At an examination held in this institution on Thursday last, a hand some GOLD PEN was awarded to Mn. FILLECIS 11 ROB n, as a premium for proficiency in Book Keep ing; and the same premium was awarded to Mn JAMES DEVISE, for the greatest improvement in Penmanship. The public will no doubt know how to appreciate the value of such encouragement to the pupils of this Institution. FAREWELL CONCEIIT.—The Odeon will be crowded to-night with the last performance of the delightful and laughter-provoking Harmoneons.—, Persons whc, would enjoy excellent music, and pas's an evening in the midst of mirth and pleasantry, should go early, in order to secure a good seat.-:- Take them all in all, The Harmoneons stand un rivalled in their profession. Cozisur. To Buenos AYRES.—The Cleveland Plain Dealer says: We learn by a friend at Wash ington that our fellow townsman, B. B. Taylor, Esq., has been offered the appointment of Consul to Buenos Ayres. We hope Mr. T. will except the appointment, as we are assured that it could not be filled with a better American Representative. 0;T It was the remark of JOUNSON, that he who would cultivate a style, "familiar without gross ness, and elegant without ostentation, must give his days and nights to the volumes of ADDISON. - -. Heul the critic lived in our time, he, would have recomended, in place of ADDISON, the Ware AD DRESS TO TUE PEOPLE OP ALLEGHENY COUNTY, as a model of elegant composition. • ; Woor.--We learn from the Journal of Com merce that six thousand pounds of fine Saxony wool have been purchased in Pennsylvania, by an eastern manufacturer, at sixty-two and a half cents a pound. This is, we believe, the highest price that has been paid this season, and the wool is said to be equal to any raised in the country. An a ticle of a similar character could not be imported for Less than a dollar a pound. THERE are cases on record, in the office of the British Judge Advocate, wherein the delinquent soldiers have been sentenced to receive three thou sand lashes! Tur. rAvontra and famova old U.S. frigate Con- stitution, arrived at Boston on Sunday afternoon, from her great cruise round the world, last from Rio Janeiro. Smarr or viz Miss.—E. A.

We were ittiprised that a fiarty which claipia !!ALL TEE TAIZIPT," ahould put forth such archoice.apeci- Men of Literature. Its attacks upon Wilson Mc- Candless and the Democratic party, are almost as 1 terrific and fatal as the onslaught of Don Quizotte upon the wind-mill! The editor of the Journal, on Saturday, gives the writer the following dig un der the fifth 'rib: ; . „ On reflection we defer publishing the com munication of "a Member of the: Whig and Anti masonic Committee of Correspondence.” We'deem it proper, however, as a member of that Commit tee to State, that the article which appears in yes terday's Onzette as an "Address" purporting to Come from the Committee in question, is not the production of that body, and has neither been au thorized nor sanctioned by it. ' We are not content to be held'in any degree re- Sponsible for such matter, which, ilk:night harm lessly, enough appear as the voluntary contribu tion of very obvious inexperience, cannot so innox iously go aground as a grave manifesto of Whig and Antimasonic Organization. We hope there will be no repetition of this of fence." The .American, issued on gaturday, cuts the edi tor of the Journal up into sassenger meat! This is all a "family quarrel," and we don't care edam which whips, as-the old lady said when witnessing the fight between her husband and a bear. Hands off, boys, let them have "fair play and no gouging!" •' After an absence of six years from the Whig ranks, and the Whig party, the editor or the Jour ' nal professes himself now to be Whig again—ccin. descending to vote, as he did in 1845, at least part 'of the Whig tidal. Last year he voted for Black - and Kerr--he can assign no good reason for not voting for them now as he did then, and indeed' Consistency would require that he should. He is doing what he can, however, to distract the party in the meantime, and his attack upon the address of the commitee must emanate from a desire to produce a result of this kind. Mr: Riddle 'cannot be compared in this matter to the bird which foul ed its"oun nest, for he does not properly belong to any, but a part of his ninny readers will doubtless be surprised to see him - show his hand so early. "We do not know who wrote the address, but we know that it is very• ably written, and if not by a member of the committce,by some one in whom the committee had confidence and was approved by a decided majority of that body. Every one must see in this course of the Journal an unfitness of things, in regarding that paper as a Whig one. No reason is assigned for this condemnation.—lt is therefore gratuitous and can only be accounted for, from the tact that it bears pretty hard upon those on the locofoco ticket whom he is supposed to fa vor, because it is known he did favor them last year while professing to be a Whig, even more strongly than he does this year. "We had intended publishing the address to-day, though not given to us, first to publish, but it was crowded out by European news but will be in time for our next weekly for our "few" readers."

The following extracts are from the Monthly Re port of the Office and Register Department of the American Moral Reform Society, in New York "July. A poor and very respectable woman whom we well know, and whose husband has been out of work ten months, called for advice in certain matters. I expressed a wish to see the work she had obtained, which she was reluctant to show me; it was a jean coat, with one pocket and four but ton holes, and must be well done, or she would get no More.' It was long before I could prevail on her to tell me the price she obtained for making it saying, the man would give her no more if she told—he gave as much as others—and was better than others, as he was kind and good. She had walked two mileS to obtain it—must do the same to return it—and was, to receive fire rents only !— Who would dare. to buy or wear a garment so made? ""The same man had given out; as she told me, the week before, seven hundred shirts to snake, for free cents each, and then was. obliged to send twenty poor, starving creatures away without any. These customers speak highly of his justice and endeav ors to serve them. At NO. —, street, a Jew gives ten cents for•making fine shirts with ten plaits in the bosom, ne4ly made, and four button-holes. She made one, going for it and returning it the same distance; but found she should starve at that, and declined taking any more. She had to buy her own thread, costing two cents, which he did not al low, and two days were required to snake the shirt." The Whigs have talked eloquently about an al alleged bargain between Sir Rontrir PEEL and Sir Ron Ear WALKEn, "'-by which, for certain considerations to be rendered, this country was to reduce the Tariff on foreign goods and manu factures, infinitely to the damaging of our laboring classes. We do not know what the consideration was, but we reccollect very well how bitterly the Nor( h American denounced the project, as fraught with unimaginable danger and misfortune. Since that period, however, bread-stuffs have advanced in price, in Europe, and,the demand for American flour and wheat has greatly increased, while our own interests have suffered in nothing; unless the effects of the Whig panic can be called suffering. We suspect that by the time the new Tariff has begun to operate, there will be very little margin left for the fullilment of the prophecies of the Whigs, elicited by the astounding combination be tween the United States and Englandon that ques tion.—Penusy/vanian. WILL 413111 HE PAYIKENT,—We copy the follow ing from the Lewistown Democrat of Friday last : Lewistown Bank.—This Bank, we are informed by good authority, will resume specie payment on Wednesday morning next. As we have all along said, although the time has been somewhat pro tracted by unavoidable circumstances, this institu tion will prove itself sound. Its notes will then. be quoted at par in Philadelphia, and it will be placed upon as perrrianent footing' as any other institution of the kind in the country. - , , 23==!

FOSTED AND TUE PUBLIC WODIES.—The Sunbury American, an independent paper, one not disposed to be trammeled by the fetters of party, and tine frequently quoted by the Whig press when it suits their purposes, holds the following sensible remarks: "Our public improvements have never been so productive las they have been since Mr. Foster is one of the Vanal Commissioners. The board, of which Mr.! Foster is the principal, has been eco nomical in their expenditures, and have employed every means to make our canals and railroads a source of profit to the State. We see that this year. notwithstanding the delay in the navigation by the high water, our improvements have produced more than they did last year, ,up to the same date. Will the people,*ho are now paying heavy taxes, throw out of office a man who has used every means to di• minish their taxes? Will they vote against a man who is making the burden lighter, by making the public works more profitable to the State? Will they, for the gratification of a few disappointed office-hunters, vote against a man who is daily la boring for their interests? Certainly not." GEN. Ilousitsr.—The story (says the Nashville Orthopolitan,) that Gen. Houston "shoved the jack plane" in this city twenty-five years ago, is travel ling the rounds of the newspapers. What a pity it is to spoil so pretty a story ! A friend and near relative of; Gen. Houston has handed us a memo randum of his early life to the following effect:— In 1811—'12 be was a clerk in a store at Kensing ton. East Tennessee. When about 17 years of age, he enlisted as a private in the 39th Regiment ofU.l S: Infantry, commanded by Col. John Williams, formerly Senator in Congress fruit) that State, hav ing previously applied for and failed to obtain a commission in the army. In a short time, how ever, after entering the army,,in consequence of his good conduct, he was appointed an Ensign. On the 27th of March, 1814, at the battle of the Horse shoe, he Veas wounded by a musket ball in the right shoulder, and by an Indian arrow in the side; of the forrher wound he has never recovered. After the peace of 1815, when the 39th Regiment was dishandedie fixed his residence in Nashville where an elder brother resided—previously to 1845 he had not visited Nashville. (The story of his "shoving the jack plane". probably originated in the fact that his brother was a cabinet maker,rand a most esti mable citizen. Dave, take back the jack plane, for it is a plain case you have been sawed. How TO MAKE A TIIIIIErTENDII.—HaIf an hour before the bird is killed, says, the Boston Times, pour a gliss of brandy-doWn his throat, which pro . duces conipleto intoxications and gives the flesh o f that typsY turkey, a tenderness superioi to that which is produced by long keeping. We object to the brandy. It is bad enough to make mere tipsy, but worse;to intoxicate a poor helpless fowl. COAL, GAS AND CAMPUINE SIIPERSEDED.-W learn that Mons. Jabard, following out a hint o Sir Humphrey Davy, has ascertained that Water may be made the means of a cheap illumination. It is decomposed by a very simple process, and fur nishes a beautiful light. A. penny's worth of oil duly mixed with water in a retort will furnish the light of ten candles for twenty hours. The French Government has become the owner of. the patent for pliblic purposes, and several large manufacto ries in France are now successfully using it.

Hoyt -having refused to sign a paper pladg,ino• ' hi self to leave the city at once, Myers fired three barrels of a revolver, and wound ed Hoyt, mortally it is thought, in 'the right teat ple, thigh and both legs. - The ball wbichstruck the temple entered the head, but was extracted yester day morning, we learn. Last evening the physi cian&thought Hoyt could not recover. the s state these facts as we heard; them on the ereet. Yesterday morning Wttl. R t MyerS; Saint S. Myers, and Wm. S.

At thathoar an immense crowd - collected at the court honxe., Frederick Boyden was called up as witness for the State.—,-- Being interrogated' by the mayor, replied that he knew nothing of his own knowledge of the acts charged in the warrant against the ;accused: The same response Was made by Dr; carrniChael and Pi.

BLADENSBURG DUELLING GIIOUND —Being call ed to visit this town, so famous ^in the annals of duelling, in the discharge of a public duty; I felt some curiosity to, visit the bloody; ground. Why this spot should have been selected, . no one can tell; but it is famous through all the South It is situ ated about half a mile from the village, near the site on which our troops were stationed in anticipa tion of the, arrival of the'British during the last war, and from which they so vigorously ran as soon as they saw the foe. In a secluded spot, near the edge of a thick wood, rude, wild, uncultivated, with no foot-path leading to it, you stand on 'the soil drenched by the life-blood of many a man.—Here Decatur, Mason, and Cillyjell. One of the most ferocious duels on record, was fought here between Gen'l Mason and McCarty. Mason challenged Ids opponent; but McCarty, on the graund`.that his sight was defective, declined fighting. He was posted as a coward. Being a military man, Mason's chal lenge was accepted. Behold the weapons!—togeth er they must leap from the dome of the Capitol; or sit each upon a keg of powder, and insert, with his own hand, a slow match in the btizighole; or fight with muskets at ten paces! Mason protested that the conditions were savage; McCarty persisted in them. The parties met, and MaSon was literally blown to pieces. A few week.sl : ago a duel was fought by two men from North Cdrolina;-Dr. John son, one of the parties, was instantly killed. The stakes still stand, at ten paces apart; the Marks made by the feet at the turning, of the body, and deep stains , of Johnson's blood, are still upon the earth. The ground is black all around; while the tall rank grass tells us, as eloquent as at Wateriho, of the richness of humane blood. , eanni Tolls.—The amount receivedlor tolls on all the New Yorlt,canals, frorrrthe commencernent of navigation to the 14th of September, inclusive, is $1,589,678, an increase of $135,528 over the same period last year.'

Owing to their marvellously purgative and cooling qualities, their freedom from unpleasantness, of taste, gripe and nausea, and the peculiarly power ful influence by which they control and purity every portion of the system, the great majority of the medical faculty of qcew York think of using no other purgative medicines in these diseases and.the certificates of these gentlemen haVe heen io numer ous and full of eulogy as to justify the proprietor in warranting a 'cure wher his pills are taken ac cording to directions.
