THE TIES OF' EALLTII.::
- • Alas! bow mutable, how frail
Are-all the ties-Of earth!
Earth's friendships—loves bowsoon theyguil
E'en in their hour of birth! •
Where is the friend of yesterday,
When Fortune on thee smiled
When Pleasure lighted up thy way,
And, every care beguiled ?
Thou hottest Misfortune's angry frown,
And Sorrow is thine own;
Thy !MA with grief is bowed down;
Thy sunshine friend has flown! 'l'
And where the love that ne'er could die;
But with thyilying clay;
Nor-then could leave thee—but would fly
With thee from earth away?
Ah!..Love 's , a very tender thing— • 1,,
Mit born in Winter's blast;-
He's nottrish - A in the lap of Spring;
-And dial ere Summer's past,
Or ifrniaihap, he•should live on,
To see the yellow leaf,
Hialovely trustingness is gone;
. -
"He's next akin to grief.
Thy friends, thy love, thy sister dear,—
More dear than life or light,— •
Thy brother,—all, when storms appear,
May vanish from thy . sight!
Stand'st *thou alane,•withirone. to -cheer,
In all this Xorld of gloom?
Is there no eye to shed one tear,
Or seek avert thy doom?
Oh, yeil A kind voice whisper's near-1
"Courage; direct thy Prayer
To Him Nvho doth the mourner bear -,
:Orr high; Love liveth there!"
Methinks is a familiar tone,
"Oft heard in years gone by ;
And though its sprightliness is gone,

FOR GOVERNOR,
FRANCIS,. R. SHUN K,
OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
;MORRIS LONGS TRET H,
OF MONTI:101E8Y ,COUNTY. '
We gave, a Jew days since, an article on this
subject; and we now-find it convenient; again to
recur to it. We do so with the more pleasure, as
we find that all the great interests of our country
not only continue to be in a highly flpurishing
;condition, but are likely to continue so for some
time to come. And, we know of no good reason
why it should be otherwise, to any cOrisiderable
extent, attany time. Let the measures of our
government be such as to favor no partichlar class
sof cititens;" but designed to facilitate the opera
tions of trade, and business transactions in general ;
and there is no danger of our hearing of periodical
bank panics, or manufacturing panics, or any oth
er kind orpanies ; but all our business-- ; agricultu
ral, mercantile, manufacturing and commercial,
will be conducted upon those prudent and safe
principles, which forbid the excitement incident
to a feverish anti uncertain mode of operations.
Under our present form of government, with
'that industry and perseverance which characterize
the people of our country; and with un adminis
tration of our affairs in accordance with the nature
of our government, it is reasonable to expect that.
we will be able, in a few more years, not only to
provide ourselves with every article entering into
- our ordinary consumption; but to produce a large;
surplus with which to supply other nations. The
present state of our affairs in this country justifies;
this belief. Here we find that, even in 'the midst;
of amar involving immense expense to bur gov
ernment, every interest in our country is prosper.;
ing; and new undertakings of magnitude are every
day being projected. And how finely does this
state of things contrast with that which, less than
a year ago, was predicted for us. Then we were I
told that in less than six months' time, there would
be a general state of ruin. The ; passage of the;
tariff act of 1840, was to be the means by which
the ruin would be effected. We were told, ‘- It
will lower the rate of wages—it will throw thou-I
sands out of employment—it will induce general
dikress—it will lessen the value of property—it
will depreciate the value of agricultural ' products—
it
will ruin thousands of mechanics—it will chock
improvements—and produce universal loss arid ;
suffering!" What a picture to awaken the sym-;
pathies of the philanthropist! And how knell.'
lardy true lids been the likeness of the present state
of affairs, thus drawn by the distinguished artist !
Six months have passed by; and instead of the
ruin so graphically portrayed, we find all our man- ;
ufacturing establishments, of every description, I
busily engaged in turning out the various fabrics I
wrought in them, while new establishments are
springing up in every direction. The operatives
in, almost every .branch of labor are demanding ;
higher rates of wages ; none lack employment•
who are willing to work : property c‘f . et cry de-;
scription bears a high price ; the value of agricul
tural products is attested by the extraordinary ef
forts made to get them to market; all our finished
improvements arc yielding a revenue far beyond I
any former period ; new works of improvement '
are going forward in every direction; in many
parts of our country the necessity for laborers is
so great, that they cannot be procured at any ;
price; initnense numbers of new buildings are i
going forward in all our principal cities ; and gen
eral and individual prosperity is at its flood tide l
The exports of our country were never so great .
the amount of specie in it was never so large; atet
the imports of the country never reached the point
to which they have this year risen, especially in I
the preciceis metals. In addition to all these facts,'
our countrymen have been called upon to minister'
of their abundance to supply the wants of a stiffer
ing nation ; and the call has been met by them in !
a manner calculated to prove that "general distress
l
and incalculable individual suffering " do riot ex.
ist in any part of our vvidely extended country.
The question "Which is the heavier, a pound
of Feathers or a pound of Gold?" has been claim
iqg the attention of a number of the corps editori•
al, fur some time past;, and appears to be still um
settled—some concluding that there is no differ
ence; others that the difference would be just four
ounces in favor of the pound of feathers; and some.
that there is a difference; but leaving the differ
ence still unsettled. Now as this is a very impor
tant question, WE as guardians of the public in
terests, must say a word. It will neverdo:to stand
idle by, when so grave :a discussion engages the
attention of the profession! Hem !
Troy weight, by which the precious metals, pre
cious stones, &c. are weighed; comes to us from
the Romans; and is divided into twelve ounces.—
These ounces are, however, heavier than those of
Avordupois weight, which is used for all .grOss and
heavy substances ounces Troy being equal
t 3 abuut 17-3 ounces avordupois. The pound of
fi..tSers would, therefore, be heavier than a pound
of gold;—not, however, by four ounces ! We hope
this vexing, exciting, and interesting question is
now definitively settled!!!
Botrroar.—On a rec,ent occasion, Mr. .Qiinicy.
the Mayor of Boston, boasted that she was the only
truly American city in the Union ; and that only
Yankees could get rich there. The New York
Tribune says, that there is scarcely a paper priutea
in Boston which does not contain accounts of
pockFts being picked ; and intimates that this is
done by strangers, in retaliation for a similarl:ope
ation performed upon them. Those Boston folks
must be sharp: for they could not get rich by pick
ng the pockets of each other.
loan Roird—We find in the Baltimore Sun of
Monday The following item. It affords additional
evidence of the deplorable 'ruin which has been
.brought about by the destructive tariff of 1846:
COTTON FA cTort T AT FRE DI:117 CE, - (Md.)—

men t.
" TIIUNI , EII.IIOLT."—We could scarcely open a
paper, a short time since, which did not contain a
marvellous account of the discovery and death of
this celebrated British robber, somewhere ih the
State of Vermont. Now, (since the account is
ascertained to be a hoar,) the editor of almost eve
ry paper we see, thinks it necessary to.tell his
readers that he did not publish the story. For our
part, we say nothing. Only just look over our'
columns, and see if you can tind it! We think
all our city cotemporaries enlightened their read
ers with the story !!!

c 0 .% The editor of the American is-distressing
himself no little in relation to the recent appoint
meet of Maj. JOHN IL BVTLEu, to the office of
Paymaster at the U.S. Arsenal and endeavors to
create the beliAhat said appointment has caused
the greatest discontent in the Democratic ranks in
this city! The impertinent interference of the
editor of the American in this matter, is only e
qualled by his infamous and libellous remarks in
relation to Gov. SIIUNK:2I visit to some of his old
friends whilst in Pittsburgh. The Democracy can
attend to their• own nffairs, without any aid from
the British Tory of the American. As to Maj.
Butler being a " bitter Anti•Shunk and Anti Polk
man," and "what is worse, a ,Taylor wart," we
have no hesitation in saying that the whole is a
base coinage of the editor's brain, and'uot entitled
to any consideration whatever. Biddle knows ns
much about Major Butler's politics, as he does
about decency, honesty and sobriety.
NON-RESISTANCE RESlSTED.—Yesterday, a per
son professing the duct' fines of the Non Resistants,
was brought before the Grand Jury to testify in a
certain case. Ile objected to being either sworn
or affirmed, on the ground of his conscientious
scruples. The Court was informed of his obsti
nacy, and reht,ed to excuse him. lie still adhered
to his determination to resist ; but the Court sug
gested that he must either yield or go to prison,
whereupon he " guy in," and was affirmed. This
is the first case of this kind in our county.
Arrsu Tucm.—Officer Shalcross, of Wheeling,
has been in this city for some time, in pursuit of
some fellows who are suspected for having com
mitted an outrage upon the person of a young
girl, (who has since died in consequence of tlf
injuries she received,) in the neighborhood of that
city. He employed officers WGitlin and fklTick
er, of Allegheny ; who have visited the Great
Western Iron Works in hopes of finding them.—
They harC not as yet been successftil. The , per
sons suspected were employed in a Wheeling Rol
ling Mill ; and formerly belonged to this city or ,
Allegheny.
The Independent Police feel aggrieved at the
conduct of the Wheeling officer; who assured
them that the girl was not dead and that there had
been no reward offered. His object in making
such a statement can be explained in no other way
than by supposing that he was afraid the Indepen-
dents might get them, and thus deprive him of the
reward.

.From the Pil burih 'qarette of June 23d.
Pnorrra or Esiixstrx AxtrrAwrultas.—There
is a great depreasiOn of business among the.,East
tern manufacturens,which,tinder the Tariff of 1846,
and the increased' orders for foreign goods; will be
increased. Ihe largest, tnost., powerful, and the
most successful of the BoSton Companies have de
clared a dividend of three per cent. for six months,
The Newbaryport Herald says: ,
"The dividends of the manufacturing companies
throughout the country, for the last year, show
that the business is ; very much depressed. Many
mills have made nothing; while the most profitable
—those mills having a large surplus fund, and
whose goods are in the most demand, as the Mer
rimac, the Nashua, &c.—have only cleared 5
per cent. and other well established mills, like the
Appleton and Hamilton, having but small surplus
accumulations, make but 3 per cent,arid others less
favorably situated, with difficulty preserve their
capital whole." •
It was only five jays before this announcement,
when the editor of the, Sarette told his readers,
that, 'under the present prosperous state of affairs
over our country," another manufacturing interest
"must continue to grow." Now this prosperous
state of affairs is very materialy effected by the
the circumstance that "(be dividends of the mann.
facturing companies throughout the country, for
the last year, show that 11w busineis is ticry
much depressed." But, while the Newburyport
Herald makes this statement.respecting the manu
facturing interest in Boston, it is stated in Boston
papers, that, the exportation of American manu
factured goods from that part, up to 31st May, is
nearly 3000 bales beyond the previous year; and
the accounts of dividends, as published frOirr - tinae
to time, show that the business is not much more
depressed thairotheF branches of manufacturing.--
It may be , that because some do not make as much

notwithstanding our neglect of , her. yesterday
morning. A member of the profession can hardly
expect to get a fulhhouse without "a first rate no
tice in the Morning Post " yet the claimes of this

show on her benefit night without our aid. She
must accept our apology,and we hope to du better

The. LEUXIN FSXILT appear to night for the

bill which the manager presents. We cannot
speak of these people from personal knowledge,

their performances by the press in other cities,
where they base been, we venture to pronounce
them performers of a high order. The next we

will not term(' to avail themselves of the benefits
of this very important discovery. Its expense
seems to be the 'only objection. We iloubt not
improvements will be made, which will so much
reduce the cost as to tender it practicable to intro
duce it into every kitchen in the city. The bene
fit of such a refe,n/ would be incalculable. To get
rid of the smoke which now -infests our citizens,
and renders our city (in other respects one of the
prettiest in the world,) a terror to travellers, would,
in our estimation, add more to its wealth and pop
latical than half a dozen railroads.

been saidiand the
Mn. HAurs much has
public attention. excited fk the : past year, on the
subject of the' grads, on Pift n street,: at its junction
with Grant, .I prtsitme it will trot be.otif of plaCe
at this time, to give a history of events as they
transpired frcim to'4.i me u rill g the - last.2o
years, believing as I do, that the public, as well as
our City Conn ciit want only to be correctly in
formed to enable them to jtidge correctly and im
partially in a matter of such vast importance to
a large body of our fellow-citizens. Indeed, the
subject is of the highest importance to every pro
perty owner in our city, and therefore should - be
looked upon-by each individual es relating to him
self fersonally. ,
If I am correct in my opinion in relation to the
duties of our representatives in the Councils, I be
lieve they should be regarded in the light of legis
lators for the convenience, comfort and protectioh
of the ,citizens in the free and uninterrupted protec
tion and enjoyment of their property,' and seriously
to injure one portion of our citizens by the des
truction of their property for the convenience and
benefit of another portion, howevergreat or small,
without at least counting the cost and consequen
ces, and making suitable 'provisions for remunera
tion to the, injured, either through the public fund,
or by the petitioners who ask for or are to be ben
efitted by such change. I am fully persuaded that
there is no situation in which a'man may be plat
ed, either in public or private lire, in which he can
justify or palliate on immoral and unjust act
I shall therefore proceed to give a history of facts
and circumstances connected with the grade ofFifth
street for past years, leaving the subject to our
citizens and City Councils to draw such cohclu
siods as to them may seem just and equitable in
the tremises.
In 1827, the ground on which St. Paul's Cathed
ral now stands, was purchased by a Committee ap
pointed for the purpose by the Ca holic•congrega
lion, from, the Hon. Harmer Denny, and during
that year arrangements were made by providing
the necessary Yunds, entering into Contracts, &c.,
for the early commencernentof the building in the
spring of 18283 but in the spring of that year it
was deemed advisable by the Building Committee,
for the future safety and permanency of the Cathed
ral, to petition the Councils for a permanent grade
for Filth and Grant streets,&c. Therefore, on refer•
ence to the proceedings of Common Council, the
following entries at large will fully appear:
Page 117 : nanday, April 14th, 1528, the me
morial of the Building Committee and - contractors
of the Catholic Church, together with a cotinnuni. I
cation from the Recording Regulator, were received
and read, and is retolution passed and sent to the!
Select Council. and concurred in by that body, au
thorizing the Recording Regulator to engage the
services of David Coon and Robert Hdands, to en
able him to carry 'into effect certain resolutions of
Councils."
Here it may be observed that at tliat early peri
od such was considered the importance of grades
to our streets, that'oor Councils authorised the em
ploynient of two additional and experienced sur
veyors; and on reference to the original papers,
marked 1828, on file in the paper case of the Com
mon Council. the original memorial and communi
cation can be seen
Page 42-1: " - May 261 h, IS2S, a joint Committee
was - ' - appuir,ted by both branches of Council, on the,
subject of the grade and regulation of Cherry al
ley, Grunt street and Grant's hill, and the resolu- '
tiun relative to the appointment of said Commit
tee concurred in by the Select Council, and was
composed of .Messrs. Ross and Likigitt,from the'
Select, and Messrs. Way, Millar and Scottfrom the
Common Council."
l'ages " Monday, August llth, 1825, the
clerk of the select Council presented the following
resolution adopted by that body, viz:
" Rewired, That Grant street, at its intersection
with Filth. be reduced six feet, and from that height
be regulated and graduated by a uniform descent
from Fifth street northwardly; Grant street shall
be graduated by an uniform descent to the top of
the bridge over the canal at Seventh street v Fourth
street shall be regulated and graduated by an uni
form descent froth Grant street to Smithfield,
Sixth street shall be graduated by an uniform de
scent from Grant street to Smithfield ; Strawb , rry
alley, by an uniform descent from Grant street to
Smithfield; and Seventh street, by an uniform de
scent from the top of the canal bridge to Smith
field street."
'This resolution having been read, was, on mo
tion of Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Arthurs, a
mended by striking out the word 'six' in the second
line from the top. and inserting 'ten,' so as to read
•that Grant street at its interseclion with Fifth
street, be reduced ten feet.' The \ resolution as a
mended seas sent to the Select Council—returned,
nut concurred in; so the original resolution was
nut adhered to by that body."
Page '135: "Monday, September . . 29th, 18`..:5.
the clerk of Select Council reported the, concur
retire of that body in the amendment of this
Council, to the resolution adopted by them on the
I lth of August, on the subject of grading Grant's
hill, tke."
Thus it will be seen that the - Building Committee
and contractors were detained and prevented frotn
proceeding with the erection of the cathedral,
from the spring to the fall of the year 18:18, when,
in perfect good faith, and confidently relying on
the stability and permanency of the action of
Councils, (ior good faith and confidence ought to' .
be reposed by our citizens in their legislative
bodies, and the Councils, it will be admitted, un-
doubtedly should deserve the confidence of their
fellow citizens.) proceeded with the work, and in
curred the cost of licelve hundred dollars in the ex
cavation of the bill to the grade assigned by Coun
cils, and the sum of one hundred and . fifty dollars in
executing the foundation below. Thus incurring
the expense of til3su in complying with the resn
lii!ion of Councils— , and thus in open day, and in
the view of the public, the building progressed to ,
wards completion until the 4th of May, 1834
when the congregation took possession, and have,
used it ever since. From the frequent reports of
the Building Committee, made to the congregation
from time to time, the whole sum expended a
mounted to about $.14,t100.
Again, in the sear 1835, notwithstanding the
good faith and confidence reposed in the Councils ;
in the month of March an ordinance was passed
.by Councils, still further lowering the grade of
Fifth street, which reduces it before the main
door, to fifteen feet below the sill. But this se
cored guide was adopted, as was stated at.the time,
, by a respectable member of Council, with the ex.
I press understanding that the Councils would hold
themselves responsible for any damage or addition•
al expense incurred in the erection of protection
walls around the church—but this pledge is no of. act of the body, as no record can be found to
that effect; Consequently, by the annual change of
Councilmen, the' pledge is lost sight of. By the
second grade the cathedral was So much endagn
gered as to place lives of the congregation in Jeop
ardy, and after a careful examination of the nature
of the'earth in front of the tower by the most skill
ful engineers of the country, and by their adtice
the tower was partly taken down, with the view
of rebuilding it from the grade as adopted by or
dinance of March, 1828. But, sir, as much ac con
fidence has been abused by Councils, and•as much
as they have harrassed their fellow citizens wor
shipping in the cathedral; still a third grade is pe
titioned for by some ten or a dozen property own
ers between Smtthtield•and Wood streets on Fifth•
with the object in view of increasing the value of
their -property without regard to the injury sustain
ed by their neighbors, and with such tenacity do
they cling to self interests that they have with
out hesitation, asserted in one of their pe itions
that the managers of the chttrch had taken down
the tower with the intention of rebuilding it from
any grade Councils might adopt—and it is exceed
ingly to be regretted that a certain member of the
Common Council should so far lose sight of-truth
and candor as to assert before thatCenincil "that it
was a mere matter-of dollars and cents with the
1 congregation, as they wanted to be paid for their
building, which they intended to take down, being
entirely too small to contain its members—that
there were 3000 children belonging to it, and
which were sufficient to fill it thernselves.'c This
assertion has been made in the face of a remons
trance of fifteen feet in length, signed in double
columns by our citizens,and the many remonstran
ces presented by the managers of the church, and
in addition, it is well known that the ehildrenhave
a church for their own exclusive use, in' the se
cond story of the brick school house, which is 8Q
feet in length by 40 in width; and when it is fOr
ther known that the eathddral'is already so large

THE GRADE OF FiFTIPSTREET
ME
that - aeereiott heard over The vast
ditnetrsufns.
. The unceasiMr ' efforts of the property own etl
Whcrare to he benefited by the destruction of prop
erty, so farisUCieeded, as td procure the' passage
of an''OrainaneM : inCommon Coltncrle, .providing
for a third grade of Filth street di Grant, of ten
feet. This' ordinance was
. arrested in the' Select
Council, acting, as a conservative bodY, Mid Conie.-
sed of members of more sound reflection-and.expe
rience; and a substitute passed by that body, provi
ding for a more moderate grade ; which- is
reduction of four feet off Fifth.street at .Grant, and
raising Smithfield street ill* arul.a half oi• three f eet.
Hero then we find the matter as it now stands
between the two branches of our City Councils.
Thus', sir, stands the history of the grading of,
Fifth street; and for my- part, :1 ,would say, that
should the public:interest ur convenience require se
rious injury to be done to individual property,
by all means, take it, destroy it, but it would not
be unreasonable or unjust to say, pay.for it—it is
no' more than-,common-honesty and -justice
,to do.
so.. Again, sir, it is much to be regretted - from the
actions and expressions of' some of the petitions,
that the latter is all they fear, viz : thlit the injur
ed might obtain renumeration.
But, sir, let us examine 'for a- moment, what
would be the result, if the ten foot grade should be
adopted-. Why, sir, whilst it would greatly -in
crease the value of property of petitioners, which
is at present of insignificant value, it would serious
ly injure, if not totally destroy the
. following prop
erty to wit:
First, The row of brick-buildings erect
ed by Charles AiTry, in good faith, ac
cording to the grade, given -17 y ordi
nance of March, 1836, and valued at
about
Second, The Methodist Meeting-House
and tvvo•brick dwellings erected agree
able to the same ordinance, and valued
at about - $15,000
Third, The Cathedral erected agreeable .
to the ordinance of MB, at a cost
$44,000, add to - this $3 - ,000 for adTli
tional excavtion in grading, chtireh lot,
to suit the proposed grade, $47,000
Fourth, Additional excavation of the old
basin lot of the city,
Fifth, The serious injury, or probable de
struction, of county buildings, (Court
House and-dail,) which cost $300,000
Total,
Here then we have property valued at five litta
Bred and seventy-nine thousand „dollars, placed in
jeopardy ; if notJuirred, for the - accommodation-of
ten or a dozen owners of property of . refry trifling
value on Fifth street. between Smithfield and Wood
streets. But, say those modest petitioners, it isirn
possible to ascend Fifth street with a heavy load
of building materials s iron, castings ; bloom's, ma
chinery. &c... Really, sir, to a mind not warped
by self-interest. it can at once be discovered that
from the 6th, 7th and Bth Wards,. brick and stone,
the heaviest materials.for building, descend to all
the other Wards, of the city 'without a hill to ob
struct the way; and as for the canveyance of iron.
castings, blooms, machinery,.&C., it is not at all
probable that rolling mills, iron vvorks,. &c., will
ever be erected at any great distance from oar 'na
vigable waters, as all such works are usually to
cited on t banks of our rivers, to avoid the ex
pense of hauling. Adieu for the present.
