4. We observe that our neighbor of the Gazette is
bitierly opposed to the people,klecting their own
Judicial officer& He took gocid`care, however, not
to - saYetteword on the subject' until after the late
election : iri the State , of New York, when he•ascer
tained..the:, fact that thelernocratic candidates
were elected over those, of his'ovvn Political faith.,
We presume' the Gazette vvonlit have no manner
of objectian to the people electing 4c Whig" judges.
Frain the..journal of Cotritnerce - of Friday, we
learn, that the Democratic-candidates for Appeal
Judges irielected,'notwithstariding the efforts of
the Anti-Renters to' defeat three of them. The
Aptinflenters generally voted with the whigs. Is
it not fair to yresutne that sefra pledge: Ny ere made
by the Whig - chndidates,J,Which, were satisfactory
to the Aritilleittere? Perhaps the Gazette will en
lighten ta"fit regardto this matter- - •
The DemOcratic „candidates ifor Appeal Judges
were GreeneC.,Briinson, CbariesH. Ruggles, Ad.

returns ROM sixteen'counties, and_ in these Nixon
the;, highest on the Whig ticket received 41,765
votes, and l3rO r nson the highest on the Democratic
ticket -received 49,344 votes, shewing a democratic,
majOrity'pf 5,570. This is a democratic gain of ,
about 7000 since the last Governors election,
Omitted Resolutions.
Will the editors of the Gazette inform the read
errs of that paper, - why the late, Autimasonie and
Whig . County Convention refused to adopt the fol
lowing resolution :
Resolved,
_ : Th"at we recommend the name of Gen
Zachiryfraylor of . Mississippi;! or Kentucky, or
Louisiana, (as the case may be,); to the Whigs of
the Union, as candidate for; the Presidency in
7848.
Beta/red, That the repeal of the Tariff of 1542
was a fatal staboimed by the southern slave holders
at the - P;rotective Tariff policy ofthe Whigs of the
anorth,—the - ruinous effects of which were clearly
fOneseen and - foretold 'by the' Whigs from
.111aine to
Georgia. .. The country was warned, but the in-'
grates.of.power,would not heed.i: What was pro
phecy 1846 is history in 1847;and an indignant
.und•hetrayed .people will raise in their might in
1848; to hurl the base panderers 'to slavery from
power..
Resolved, -That we are opposthillto the further ex-
tension of slate territory; arid, that in our opinion,
the War with .Mexico was gotferf up by President
Poll: and his southern allies, for the acquisition of
more slave States, by which they expect to keep
the Northern States in bondage. •
Hon. II: DI. Wheaton.
-A public dipper was given to .the Hon. Henry
, M.AVlteaton late Minister to PrUssia, in the city
h'evc York, on last Thursday evening. Hon,
Albert Gallatin presided on the occasion. A large
nurnber of eminent personages iaere present, in,
eluding foreign ministers and consuls. Shout one
lanndred and twenty-seven gentlemen took seats at
the table. In reply to a complimentary toast, Air
Wheaton delivered an eloquent address, in which
lie spoke : 01, the present condition of many parts
of Europe, and alluded to the improvements in
our own - country, particularly in the State of New
York, during his residenceabroad. He concluded
avith,the folloaking, sentiment:
City of New aloisterdint—Peacelhe w ithin thy
walls and prosperity within thy palaces.
Tuar t'ASS."—By an article in; a recent num
ber of the PhiladelphiaDultetin, we have obtained
a clue to the aucheray upon which the Mexican
'Whigs asserted that Mr. Polk gave Santa Anna a,
puss, by which he was enabled to re enter Mexico.l
It would Seem tharthe Mexican chief has himself
told them of it;' and that be intended to deceive
our government from the outset. It is true the
Democrats deny that Mr Polk gave him any such
paper; but Santa Anna intimates that he did, and
it is useless for the Democrats to disPitte - the poin t
with the Whigs any longer. They are in sympathy
with the Mexicans, if not in correspondence, and
therefore all we can reasonably ask of them, in
order to establish the point is. that they present to
:the people a certifed copy—even if under the broad
seal of Mexico : it would be more like proof of its
existence. Perhaps the late Washington corres
pondent of the New York Express might obtain
such a copy—:as his influence is considerable with
the postton of his party'referred to. -;

—The tannage which arrived at the port of New
York, (says the Journal of Commerce.) from for
eign countries, during the year 1646,Vas 613,350
ions,of which 516,761 tons was AMerican, and
the rest foreign. There is no complete record kept
at-the Custom House, or elsewhere, of the coast
wis tonnage. It however far exceeds the foreign.
_ Probably the coastwise and foreign tonnage togeth
er,- amounts to 2,000,00 tons. At Liverpool, in
1845, - recording to the statement above alluded to,
2,819,024 tons cleared, and at London, 2,688,06
tons.
At New Orleans during the commercial year
ending 30th June last, 348,471 tuns cleared fur
foreign countries, of which 238,448 was American.
In the same year there entered at New Orleans
from foreign ports, 315,772 tone, of which 203,898
was American. The "coastwise tonnage, we are
unable to state.

In Philadelphia, they sympathised with the Cath

The Fifth Street Grade.
There was an extra meeting of the Select Coun•
cil last night, and the first question that, came up
for action was the much talked of Fifth Street
Grade..
For the understanding, of, the reader we may
stuteAhat as the Ordinance passed the .Common
Council, it • proposed to cat down ten feet at
the Junction of Fifth and Graitt Streets. This
clause wits stricken out bylbe. Select Council, at
their meeting on Saturday„ - and various other pro
positions- less objeetfenable, were.siVerally'defeat
ed. "At length - , .19i. M lievitt, of .the Third Ward,
by way of compiornise, intralucedin amendment,
propoting, to cut dnwriGrant . Street four,' and raise
Smithfield Street two and a half feet. This amend
ment passed to its third reading-on Saturday.
Last evening, after the settlement of some points
of order, the amended ordinance was read a third
time, when the quistion arose upon its final pas
sage.
Mr. Kincaid Presented a remonstrance Irom
property holders on Smithfield Street, numerously
signed, against any change iu the present grade of
said street.
Mr. Bakewell said, before the question was taken
he wished to say a few words, and giVe his reasons
for 'voting for the proposition before the house.
He remarked that after much deliberation he con
sented to vote for the amended ordinance. He
sincerely wished to have this vexed question final
ly put to rest, and ;he hoped the present proposi
tion would be taken as a compromise—so received
and considered by all the parties interested. He
was of the opinion that as little harm and as much
good would be effected by this ordinance, as any
other that could be brought forward. Mr. B.'s re- 1
marks were sensible, and well received by a ma.'
jority of those present. •
The yeas and nays being called, the question
was decided as follows:
Tess — Messrs. Bakewell, Black, Drum, Laugh
lin, Lvng., Lee, Lightner, /McDevitt, McGill, Mc
Dwaine, Totten and Wilson.-1 2.
NArs--Messrs. Caskey, Denny, Bill, Kincaid,

So the amended ordinance was passed, and goes
back to the Common Council for concurrence.

THE MURDER FRANKLIN.
arm ..kaZI • ;
DearlSir—The case of John 'Parker and Ma'rY
Myers, for the murder of John Myirs, bas been, at
length, 'brought to aClase ; „ at - leaseso far as this
'Colin is concerned. ' The motion for °a new trial
and-in arrest of judgment, came up again on yes
terdaY afternoon, and was again fully argued by
Riddle and Pearson for the motion, and by. Law
berton and Howe against it. The reasons were!
principally Errors in the precepts and Venue for
the Grand and Petit Juries, and in the return of
the Sheriff, c. Tour reasons being for anew trial,
and fire arrest of judgment. The Court overruled
all the reasons, and entered judgment for the Com
monwealth and againse the prisoners. '
The Court then proceeded to pass sentence of
the law on the prisoners;, and; after a very feeling
address, sentenced them severally to death.
Thus has, perhaps, ended one of the most - revolt.
ing instances of murder, by :Poisoning, that has
ever occurred. 'The circumstances that came 'out
in evidence, show that for months, nay for years,
this act has been prerneditated by one of the prison
ers, and that for nearly four Weeks prior to Myers'
death, he bad been subjected to continued doses of
arsenic.
have understood that the counsel for the prison.
ers will make application to the Supreme Court
for a writ of error. -Yours, &c.

For the Morning Post.
An old and coriacientions Antimason, the other
day, remarked to one of his Whig political allies,
'that he could not see the prOpriety of keeping
•• Antimasonic" at the head Of the Whig ticket
any longer.
Why - so my friend ?" said the Whig, in same
thing of a flurry.
" Because," said the Antiniason, " the Whigs
have broken their pledge with' us long ago; by
nominating Masons and Odd Fellows for us to
support for offices, against our consciences. It was
hard enough to get the honest Antimasotts to vote
fur George Darsie; but we got 'over that, by refer- I
ring to the fact, that the Lodge goers had denoun
ced Darsie as a renegade. But, now, they have
stuck Baxter, a Mason and. an Odd Fellow, both;
and expert to cram them down our throats."
"Oh, my dear sir, don't talk That way," said the
good Whig ; "you don't want the Locos to belt us,
do you? By the by, that was a good joke about
Darsie and the Masons. I Inuit tel you that sto
ry. Darsie, you know was a Mason: well, some'
twenty years ago, his Cabinet wareroom and shop
was destroyed by fire. His brother Masons assist
ed him, and placed him in business right away.—
The Lodge and Darsie bought u lot in partner
ship, and Darsie built a Lodge on the lot for the
Masons. After a while Darsie quit the Masons,.
at which they were very much incensed, and abus
ed him terribly ; indeed, they abused him so much
that he forgot to make them a died for their share-1
of the lot. So 'the matter stood until after the
great fire in April, 1845, when it was discovered
that the fire had destroyed entirely that portion MI
the lot owned by the masons, and that portion only!
of it which belonged to Darsie could - be found, I
every exertion has been made to trace the proper
ty without success. It is generally believed that
the fire melted it, and it sunk into the bowels off
the earth. How lucky for Harile his part of the
lot stood the fire, good joke was it not -
'• Yes, pretty good joke, I will explain it to my
neighbors, when I go home, but l it is a little queer
that the ground should have disappeared. Did any
other person put a lot on top ot lit 1"
No—Yes. I mean, I have not time just now
to explain that ; 111 sea you again; good by."
Strange that, I must look out for my faun.
For 141 Horning Post.
Mr. liAnorn :—I have learned from one of the
Managers of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital
Association, that the Board have. as yet come to
no conclusion in regard to a site for the Institution.
I iegiet that there should be any.great diversity of
opinion on this subject in the Board ; or that sec.
tional feeling should in anyway bias the judgment
of gentlemen, selected to carry into effect a great
public charity. r I have thought sir, that the true
interests of the Institution have 'been much over.
looked. If a HOSPITAL is to be foUnded, it should
be placed as.near as possible to the centre of acci
dents ; and some eligible lot in Duquesne Way,.
having a front of not less than I tit) feet, would be,
in my judgment, the very best location. As no
contagious diseases are ever to..be admitted. of
course, no objections could be raised on 'the part
of citizens, to such a site. The pure air of the river
would always be refreshing to invalids; and the
scenery is diversified and pleasing to the view.— g
But, in case that a Lunatic Asylum should be Se
lected, as the wish of the contributors to the Fund,'
then there are but two spots in the neighborhood,
in my judgment, suitable in every point of view ;
one of which, is the beautiful ground of Mr. Craft,
overlook.ng the Monongahela, where some 20 or
30 acres might be obtained; and the fine woodlind
property of Mr. Denny, back of Luwrenceville.—
Cither of these locations would be of ,sufficient
size ; would command a variety of charming sce
nery ; . would be retired from the noise and turmoil
of a great business metropolis;- would an hundred
years hence, as at_ the present time, gratify the
public sentiment of appropriateness ; and would
torever iN call forth an expression of gratitude to

NEW SPECIES OF ELECT,IONEERING:
An eminent engker.of Parie,,Cauthor of the
celebrated Confessions:- of St. " after
Dornipichino, and the ,6 Count; of Arundel.': after
Vandyck) hadlong been a-candidate for.the honor
of Atademician„ He had in:the..meantime grown
oldobut, by the reaching backward to d young
wife, he had bridged the widening chasm of the
past, and-still dated faith the'sge_or hope and pro.
miss. His wife Wls Pretty, she had talent too,—
but it lay in diplomacy._ It entered her head to
see whether she could bring about her husband's
election to a chair in the academy which had be.
come suddenly vacant. She took a list of all the]
members, and called on the first.
"My
husband is - an - old man!" was her remark,
as she rose from ber modest curtsy.
"You resemble him very little, madam!" was
the reply of the_booked immortal.
"He has labored much'and waited long for ac
cadet* membership. There is a seat vacant."
"Ala, my dear - madam, but I have already pro
mised—"
"I neither wish to interfere with your engage
ments, 'nor to disposses a more worthy candidate;
but, my husband is old—spare him the dishonor of
not haVing one Vote, since preieut himself he must.
Let hiin have'one voice, and let that be yours!"
Never were words sped with a better artillery of
tones, eyes, and supplicating smiles! The immor
tal member had somewhere. about him a softness
still human—he yielded--the lovely applicant eur
tised out with grateful murmurs.
Thenext academician on the list was assailed
with precisely the 'same irresistible artillery; and
with precisely the Same result. And the next—
and the next. At her husband's late dinner of
that day, she sat down with a secret in her .heart
that made her eerve the soup with mystic amia:
bility—every member having given the promise
that this one ineffectual vote should shield young
beauty's old husband from life's closing climax of
mortification.
The day of eldetion arrived. The members
were a little mysterious as to the name upon their
ballot. The almost certain candidate was Mons.
F—; but each academician knew this, and
thought that his own vote for another would not of•
feet the result, and at the same time would gratify
a' lovely woman and do charity to an old man.—
The ballot-box was turned, and the vote recorded.
The old engraver . was pronounced chosen with unpre
cedcided unanimity. It has not transpired that any
two of the old members came subsequently to any
explanation which accounted for the new mem
ber's unexpected advent to their fellowship of im
moriality.—Home Journal.
The Rio Frio Past; This pass will now become
the great paint of interest, as it is evident our
Mexican enemy. intend to Make a stand there, and
that we shall, have another severe battle. It is
described as much more formidable than that of
Cerro Gordo. Jr goes through the mountain with
a steep ascent, and for nearly three miles the road,
with high and rugged sides, is only sufficient to
admit the passage of a single wagon at a time.
The pass is about thirty•six miles from the capital

Elegant Carpeting for
. nine pence (12i cents) per
yard.—We called on a friend the other day, and
our attention was attracted to what was apparent-
I ly a canvass carpet, of very fine texture, of fresh
colors, and with a handsome border. On inquiry,
we were surprised to learn it was what might be
called honiespun, and that it cost but nine pence
per square yard. As no letters patent have been
taken out fur the invention, we give the directions
ins we received them. Sew together strips of the
cheapest cottun i cloth of the size of the room, and
tack the edges to the floor. Then paper the cloth
as you would the sides' of a rgom, with any sort
'of room paper. The paste will bestionger if gum
arable be mixed with it. After being well dried,
give it two coats of varnish, and your carpet is
finished. It can be washed like canvass carpets,
without injury. Such carpets, of course, will not
bear the rough usage of a kitchen, but inchambers
and sleeping rooms, our infonparit tells us he has
seen them, after being used for two years and fre
qiientlY washed, retaining : a most beautiful polish

band of .Missourians, so far from being worsted as
reported, has traveled safe through the whole ex
tent of New Mexicn,from Santa Fe to Parras, and
is now probably with Taylor. His march with
only a few over DUO men through so many hun
dred Miles hostile of country, (something like
1000 we believe,) so thickly populated, is unexam:
pled for its darinr , il
ansuccess. He deserves well
of his country, and should be a Geheral at least
Reinforcements for ate army under Major Gene.
rot Pratt.—We learn that the measures adopted by
the government to send forward reinforcements to ,
place the twelve months' tolonteers withdrawn
from the army under the immediate orders of Ma
jor General Scott, hal•e'been very successful ; and
that, although the twelve months' troops have left
the seat of war some weeks before the expiration
of their term, their places will soon be supplied
with other troops.
It is 'calculated that nearly 7,000 regulars, old
and new regiments, will soon reinforce the main
army via Vera Cruz—of whkh between 2,000 and
3,000 doubtless have arrived at Vera Cruz in all
April and May; and, of the residue, a large pro.
portion will reach that place, it is supposed, by the
middle of June.—Unton.

! G -- . The Louisville Journal pronounces the ad•
vocacy of the Wilmot proviso to be hostility to
the integrity of the Union. The Northern Whigs,
then, occupy a very unpatriotic position. Indeed,
that proviso, no matter by whom advocated, is in
consistent with proper constitutional action by the
General Government„aud with the harmony of
the States. It will be time enough to agitate that
subject, when new tearitory has been definitely
acquired. " Sufficient tinto the day is the evil
thereof." In the mean - time, love of country will
prevent the Union from being rent asunder, how
ever politician. may act—St. Louis Union.

We - learn from the New Yorlf. Commercial Cot,
respondent of the Union that during the last year
the market has been, to some_ extent, sustained by
the MIL' hySiliCBll of shipping wool to England.
There u . as'sent - thither front the United States'in .
the fiscal Year 1846, 668,386 pounds; and the ex
ports from the port of New York to Great Britain,
September 1. to May, 12.17, are 408,800 pounds.
These export to England are generally of the finer
kindi of Wool, while the'United States surplus is
usually of the medium 'grades. The late accounts
are, however, that the lower descriptions of United
States wool are more sought after, and are coming
more-into use. This may arise from tte fact that
high freights last year diminished the import of
European wools, forcing the spinners, upon Arne.
rican descriptions. The quantities of sheep's wool
entered for consumption in Englaud have been as
follows:

For the last two years there has been no duty
paid on imported wool..'Lots: 0 7 ;second grade fine
wool, grown in western New York, and purchased
of growers at 33 cents,, have netted in Leeds.4o
cents. These Wools being found' well adapted to
