There is :a grea6leal'of infidelitrin the World ;,

that any occurrence', •whatever may le its shame

there may have beef no record of a'similar occur

We like not the idea, but too often conveyed byi
'the iitteraniCe of th 2. word Cheace. It directs our I

minds to a most , fearful contlit.on of things—tria l

If we fora mordent sanction the idea of any tic '
Mirrenee being the: offspring of chance, do we not
make a direct impqation upon the Creator him
self? For how can We conceive Him to be Supreme ,
Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, who has
left the occrirrence 'bf any thing to Chancc? Do
we not change ~ the glory or the incorruptible
God, into an image Made like to corruptible man ! ''
(Born. r, 23.) But ;some would argue, from this
position, that we must attribute all evil, as well as'
good, to the Deity.:',iT his, we contend, is not a fair'
abgument fAm the Premises : for actual evil—that ,
which works wrong and injury to - any of God's
creatures. (though eilually resulting, from the ope
ration of immutable -lows.)—is produCed by the
agency of His crratdres, whose mills are not bound
by the unyielding chains or destiny; but are left
free to operate as they may—whose choice deter
mines their condition both here and hereafter; anti,
having emanated frdm God himself must be eter
nal as his existence::
~,
That the actions ; of men are in many respects
to be 'considered asthe offspring of chance, we eta
riot deny; brit this,„ W e think, is drying, rather to a
linaitecl knoWledge Of the laws of God, f2r the gov
ernment of the universe, than to any superior know. ]
Wee and ititelligenc,Moong mankind in our day.
` - s The time has been,4, when those laws appear to ,
have been tetter. u '

ly to be performed by" individuals, and the circum-1
stances Which would surround nations, appear tol

When man might enjoyed a higher position in'
the scale of being than be appears ever to have en
' joyed ; and this is,but a further proof of the free.
dom of his will—that, having the surest means
pointed out to him for the attainment.of happiness.
lae.Chose rather to &low the blind guidance of his
desires. That wlikh has been in our world may
be again. And though some may dread the
idea of that :doct4e called Neressilythe op
po.site of Ckani'e—ii should be remembered, that,
'Unless We recogniselstili a doctrine as tare, all is
left to uncertainty ;l i hnd, the , laws of God, and the
.glory, of God„ are'" Made like to corruptible man."
The belief or disbe lief of man, in this. doctrine,
Cannot '
affect Its truth ; 'arid all must admit, that ,
:while:man:isignotjArit,' - of :the insults which are

course, he is as muchcreature the of necessity, as
`is the object of his on-n" creation .which he directs{
- according tO his owii will. . While ignorant of they
. laws hy which God governs the universe, and gov
: erns him, he ' is incaiiable'of foreseeing the result
of his actions, or of iknowing how to: avert many
of the most trying eVila of life. As we before re
..rnarked,..there leas ti! time when those laws .Were
better understood.": The. time when they will be
. ;-more fully appreeiate'd,We believe will come agaiit''.
and - when the period!' shall arrive, we may expect
„results far more delightful, far more glorious, than
•
any which. have heretofore been• produced in our
world. 'When this time shall again arrive; with

It is a fact which cannot too often be presented
to the attention ,of the'publie, that. through the
WIFICapd Prudent administration of our State Gov

'have been blessed. with the utmost prosperity.

meat which-tool: place under the administration of
Gov. Mrs-En. Ever'y'thing in the shape of ecor.
omy appeared to have. been totally neglected.—
The power and influence of the Executive were
used as engines to:carryout the private feelings of
favorite partizansthe most wicked and reckless
pack of demagogues that ever lived! The conse
quence was that the, public money was squandered,
and our good old Commonwealth was brought to
the very verge of ruin. The public creditors be.
came alarmed, and fears entered the minds of many
that we would sink into : latter bankruptcy, and Le
driven to that most hurniliating of all conditions

The misebieftlone duiing the period Federalism
ruled in.Pennsylinnia was incalculable; and had
such men as Stevens, and his confederates in wick
,edness, Leen permitted to retain power until the
present time, it is fearful] to contemplate the awful
situation in which, ash State, vve undoubtedly
would now be plated
It must be a source of profound gratification to
every true-hearted Pennsylvanian, that a better
state of things has been brought afiout since the
Democracy obtained poiter. The name of our
state now stands as fair as that of any other state
:in the Minim, Governc4 Sims e. has studied and'
'practiced the most rigidlecouomy in discharging;
the duties of his office. has never for a single I
moment countenanced any thing that had a scprint-1
lag towards extravagance. Consequently, the in• I
tere.st upon the public debt has been punctually
:paid; and the finances of the state ate now in a
sound and healthy condition. We are informed,'
that at the close of the icurrent fiscal year, after
paying every demand uptn the treasury, there will
be a handsome sairplus,:v‘hich can be used as a
sinking fund. and applied hereafter towardi redue
ing, the state indebtedness.
The people are certain to reward an honest and I
faithful public servant, with a cautinuation of their I
confidence and esteem. ;Governor Sacs- x stands!
high in the affections of his fellow citizens; and all
honest and candid whip extend to him that praise
and credit which his official conduct so justly
merits. " Let well-naugh atone," is at all times
is good sentiment; midi we feel confident that
every•well.wislier of Pennsylvania will exert his
influence to secure the re election of Fuaxcis It

We ,took occasion, last; week, to notice the very
excellent likeness of Governor Sutrxx, which was
taken by Mr. Porter; and; since then, we have vi
sited Lis rooms. The imPravertients which he has
made, and the very handsOme manner in which he
has fitted up his eitablish,ment, show him to be a
! man of taste.; and the style in which he finishes
the likenesses of those who visit him, is the best
proof which , can be offered, of his determination
to merit the public favor. Indeed, there are a
number of his likenesses so perfect, that we almost
fancied the living originals, in all their loveliness,
were before us. Tire e,alin, vs, cot face of Miss
• ••, snuck us as ore of the most perfeethike
nesses we have ever seen. That of Miss F
is, we think, equally perfect, and,,superioi in finish
to any other which we have seen. The superior
(, (xc'ellence of this, as a picture, is owing probably,.
`to an improvement in the light falling upon the ,
sitter. Another gem of this art is the likeness of
Miss C•••_, of Philadelphia, which hes all the
richness of a miniature on ivory. Mr. Porter has , i
also the likenesses tof Bishop Hamline, Rev. J. I\*.
:Haifa, Judge Wilkins, and those of other gentle,
men of note and dhtinctioe ; and likewise one of
the Rev. George Upfold ; D D., which we think

Which pertain to his art ;t and has done much to

nity of writing you a , few lines, to let you know
host - I am at;present„. I am enjoying the finest of
health; and living On the fat of the land, in the
capital of the state of Chihuahua. It has been a
rather novel scesr;that I have passed 'through
since I left Sttouis rest May. I left Fort Leaven
worth on theJ 28th of,Tune, and we travelled slow iy
across the peat prairie, and found abundance of
buffalo. We arrived at Bent's Fort on the 28th of
July,-and stopped th e ere four days ; and on the 2d
of August moved slowly on our March. On the
sth we.reached the base of the Spanish peak; on
the Bth the Colorado river. We then moved
slowly. On the 12th we reached the Spanish settle
ments. The people were very friendly. Oa the
18th 'of August, we' marched into Santa Fe, and
took possession in tqe name of the United States.
We took up! our qUarters 'there until October;'
when there Was an order for a company to escort
General Kearney to California. Our company
had the preference. I, with nine others, volun
teered to go. The name was the California Rangers,
Two weeks after the company was made up, there
came news that Capt. Frerinint had taken that ter
ritory, when; we were disbanded. ° I
then went out
into the.mo antains, :to graze the horses. On the
Ist of November, an order was given to choose
s
from each company ten men, to march and over
take Col. Doilipban. We moved slowly down the
Rio Grande del Norte, and as ertook him at Senora;
when we moved on down to Durango, where tie
l'eceived news that the enemy was marching tot
inset us. On the 24th, Ste encamped at Breccia.'
will give a description of the battle.
This morning, (Christmas,) the camp was
aroused as usual before day, with the cry of a
happy Christmas to every one. We then moved
on &Ayr the river, and at half past I o'clock, en.
camped, All the animals were unsaddled, and the
boyi, started "after wUod and water.• As wood was
very scarce at this place, some of thcm'had

the line of battle wa's formed, and all were ready
to meet the lac. They came an at a rapid rate,
and formed oh theside of the mountain—their arms
glittering in the tun, and their worn appearance
made me think of those endearing Iles which bind
the heart to filiends and country.

I moment. Oiir company was placed ou the right

when we received enders to right about face, and
march to theilel), in 'pi - der to ettetigthejt that part
of the lines--as!the Slexican cavalry would make

their attack On thati part of our line. We had
been 'somewhat protected by gopher hills, and a
chapparal on:the right; but now we were on open
ground, to stand the blunt. We saw a. Mexican
officer ride out of their lines, and instead of the
olive branch; be bore,.in his hand a black flag ; our
interpreter rode out to meet him. Ile asked him
what he wanted. The Mexican told him if our
Colonel would give up, and come over, he would
treat-him and `ill with him with respect; but, if
he did not; he would'lmt every one to the sword.
Our interpreter told him to go to 8 ' and Ming

quarters, !would he give any. Ifc then rode!
back to their lines. They commenced firing at
the distance of four hundred yards, and chargi
tog with all :slit:C(l. Our tire Was reserved until
they were within Gil pints, w hen the wont was!
given to the Chihuahua Rangers (our compa4) to

was heard froin our Missouri rifles, Consteination
was the result of our well-aimed lire upon them.

and when leafit expee r ted, one deadly ‘olley was

could carry them. By this time the Mexican in

we were not 'going to attack them, left their er

when we let lidase our cannon upon thc:rn ; and in
an instant welsaw a hue cut through their ranks.
They returned the compliment; and the fire was

Our friend of the '.}Dung Whigs,"has become
enamored with Santa- Anna of late; so much so
that if GenerarTaylor should conclude not to be
a candidate for the Presidency, we would not be
surprised to hear hint urging the claims of the
Mexican chief for that office in our government.
As all his efforts have 'been inadequate to the at

eh?—is Santa Anna killed?" His queries were

there was a prospect -of the war coming to a close,

New Buildings
Those who do not extend their peregrinations
beyond the original four wards of the city, can
form no idea of thd number of buildings which are
now in the progress of erection. In some of the
new wards there are whole blocks` of fine buildings
going up, which will be an ornament and honor io
the city. There is an-ordinance in force prohibit
ing the erection of wooden buildings; and conse.
quently when our citizens conclude to build, they
put up well arranged and substantial brick houses
at onee. 4 This is right,' The 'greatest draw-back
at preserit to the imptovement of the new wards,
is Aunt of good Water; and the disinclination of
Councils to spend: a. little money in grading the
'streets.' It is true the . city is deeply involved in
debt ;—and we admit that it is both wise and pru,
dent to study cconoMy;—but the increased reve
nue arising from water rents and other taxes, in
the. new wards, will certainly more than pay the
interest of a small loan. .All that the citizens of,
the -new wards ask, is to have simple justice ex
tended to them. They neither ask or desire any
special favors. They wish the City Fathers" to
do as much for them as for the inhabitants of the'
old wards, but not a whit more.
Federaliant—WhiggerY•
The Whigs seem to have a mortal antipathy to
the name of Federalism ; and use every exertion
to try and get rid of it; but it will not
,do. It
sticks to them closer than a brother—even closer
than a father clings to a beloved child. And why
should it not be 60. It has assticiated with its
features all the recollections at its venerable pa
rent; and if it lacks the vigorous spirit of its sire,
it ie only becauSe of the depression nifitolly inci
dent to the defeat of that parent, ip so many hard
ifought contests against the wishes and the interests
lof the people. Poor old Federalism was so long
doomed to defeat and political disgrace, that he
gave up the field, and encouraged his only son to
go forth under a taw came, in order to deceive the
people, and redeem his lost fortunes. But, like the
donkey when clothed in the lion's skin—though he
deceived whin he Rrjr gaud, he was detected at the
instant when he tried to roar! Thus it is with
Whig,gery. The moment an effort is made to ex
plain its true principles, by any of its most favor-.
ed advocates, you hear the same sounds which
once constituted the Federal chime.

lovernor Shank.—The Whigs.
It is very evident that there is an attempt being
made by the Whigs in this place, to array the
friends of Teinperiirie against our worthy Gover
nor; but it will amount to nothing. tic, far as his
past life is concerned, that is the best proof which
can be offered against their attacks of this' hind;
and if the attacks had originated in a quarter en
titled to any consideration, they ttotild, perhaps,
prove more effective. We have had no-idea of
their origin, until tOiientl (who by some means
gets a great many 'of the secrets of the wire-work
ers,) told us that One of the wire-pullers, who has,
a superabundame of " brass" gil his fare, was en
gaged to go around the city, dogging the steps of
the Governor and his friends. This worthy, it is
said, would walk in wherever he fancied he might
fall in with company, and would speak of the Go
vernor very pleasantly; and, when he happened in
a tavern, it no one -liked him to drink, nould soon
retire.
We are told that, ou more than , one occasion un
der such circumstances, the landlord has asked hiin
to • take a horn,' which he never 'refusea; (and
there are many of our landlords friendly to the
Governor ;) and that on one occasion, hearing
some conversation in one of the private recesses 01
a Refectory, he had the impudence to run his nose
into that and then said that he had found the Gov
ernor there, enjoying, himselfZwith some of his

The New York Evening Post, in copying this

It will be seen by the abOve statement, that
the divorce, of Bank and State is complete. Theri

Banks for which•drafts have been issued, but the
Money has not, it appears, been as yet taken out.
Never was the Treasury of the United. States in a
more impregnable condition. It is beyond the'.
reach of all those influences which Banks and .
Bankers use, in order to make -a profit. And we
may well say never were the United States so In

Frce Trade.—We believe the Whigs will yet
espouse free trade doctrines,—alw7tys excepting the,
editor of the Tribune, and some few other habitual
ly wrong-headed gentlemen. Gen. Taylor is said
to have avowed himself a free trader, and now we
have the following from the leading Whig paper
of Ohio, the State Journal. Speaking of the Wes
tern States it says,—
"Give
. •
us but a fair swing—the World for a mar
ket, and no restrictions—and we might almost
undertake to supply the world with bread."
Fire in Ships.—A correspondent of a European
paper suggests that every vessel should carry at
the bottoms of her hold, as ballast, a quantity of
chalk, with which one or two small Metallic tubes
should communicate: In the event of fire in ..the
vessel's hold, by pouring diluted sulphuric acid
through the tubes, such a quantity of carbonic acid
gas would-be genetated as would •effectually put
out the flames. .
Where fire ortinates in cellars stored with goods
not easily accessible, but air tight, or nearly so, the
same materials may be of use, - •

Reported e.rpresslyfor the Morning Post.
Pnrc►DELPOIL, June 16, 12 M.
By an arrival at New Orleans we have very la
and important news from the seat bf war.
Gen. Cadwallader and the forces kinder his-com
mand reached Vera Cruz on the! lst inst.; and
would immediately take tip their Noe of march . to
join the main body of the army udder Gen. Sc . ott.
It was reported that a portion of the.forces
un
dfir Gen. Worth had been cut ote and taken pri
Goners; but this turns out to be untrue. , .
The Mexican - General Bravo had resigned his
commission and left the army ; and the Cor,gress
had removed General Morales from his command.
This looks Mther strange t
We learn that privates Sharpe and Raike of the
thi Pennsylvania Regiment died at Jalapa since our
last report i t - •
The New Orleans Bulletin has received letters
which state that Herrera had beeme-elected Pres
ident. The Congress refused entirely to accept
his resignation ; and he finally consented to serve
again.
It is also-stated, that the Clergy have considered
more upon the 'state of Mexican affairs,
and are noW determined to exert their inflnence
in trying to restore
.peat.e to the country. Let
them adopt this course; and there will soon be no
more occasion for difficulty with Mexico: They
were preparing, it was said, to issue an address to
the People, in.a few day . ; urging the adoption of
peace measures.
One of the officers under Gen. Scott has written
to New Orleans, expressing the opinion, in a most
decided manner, that the war Willnow soon be at
an end
The number of sick at Vera Cruz was, very
great indeed. The hospitals were very much
crowded, and 1800 were sick.
At Jalapa, there are said to have been 800 sick
on the Ist and 50 deaths.
The Picayune has letters which state that the
Mexicans were most yigorously engagedin mak
ing fortifications at the Rio Frio. Every point
which can be made to bear upon the pass is, to be
fully prepared to oppose the march of our troops;
and that 20,000 men are now engaged in carrying
on the works.
The force under general Scott, at Puebla, it
was said, amountedto no more than 5000 effective
men. This is a email force; and he would not
proceed against the _enemy until reinforcements
should arrive,-;-.which were eaPectc d come for
ward in a few days to the number of perhaps 5000

The Teniperanee Jubilee in this city, was a
