THE 9RA FTFTH STREET.
D s i 6 , - .F - ; R . + the Morning Post.
Mit., , Entcort.:4MY attention has just been cal
led tera'corrdunieetion which' appeared in your
Paper Of- Tbuisday morning!last, in regard to the
propoSed reduction of the `glade of Fifth street.
'I have reedit with the care; and attention at all
times due to the prothiction . of , " an old citizen,"
(Whoever lie may be;) but : 'pm sorry to say, that
I do not find in it that
wisdom which is presumed
to lurk in gray - hairs. From i ts disingeniousness,
one sidedness of statement,:
atill bold aspersion of t
the motives of the advocates of that measure, I'
•
ca snot resist the conviction, that it is prompted by
some oiler motive, than the interest naturally ta•
ken by "an old citizen," in the welfare of our
city • and but fur the importance which I attach
to t hat measure, as one of great present, and still
greater future importance, should pass it by unno
ticed. - ar;
What,,then,'have we in this communication?—
A history of the first and second grades of Fifth
street—a violent attack on " ten Or a dozen property
owners between Smithfield and Wood streets, on
Fifth," whose whole object, it seems, is to increase
the value of their property, without regard to the
injury sustained by their neighbors—and, as a
worthy conclusion to the whole, a grossly exag
gerated statement of the damages necessarily re
suiting - front a further reduction of the grade. 111
reading his bill-fot damages, One can scarcely stip-
' press a sndle, or avoid indidging the conjecture,',
that he must have acquired bis wonderful skill in'
making out a bill for damages in a lawyer's o ffi ce,'
thy carefully studying the ~, ,g &minute clauses at
he end of declarations toibe:tbund in books of prece
dents. Everything is damage with him—the whole
- cost of AVerfs row and the Methodist church,
,
(which, by the way, will rather be bene fi tted than
rinjideik) the rehote cost of the Catholic Cathedral,
(which has, in fact already sustained the great bulk
of injury that can.` possibly; be done to fit); and
last, Wag least, the whole cost, of the Court House
arid Jail, bringing up the rear with the magnificent
' sum of only half-a-million! Wherever he may
hive acquired his skill,' it is certain, this bill was
made out on the favorite maxim—" be always
sure to claim enough." Unfortunately, however,
in this attempt to impose or the credulity of the
public, he has defeated 'his own end, by making
the whole bill so exaggerated as to be redeemed
frotn eunterniu, only by the ridicule which it ex
cites. Could se have any better evidence of the
fact, than that furnished by this lfill—that the
great apprehended damage to result 'from a still
further reduction of the grads of thisstreet at the
point of its intersection with' Grant street, has no
other source than' the imagination of our "old citi
zen! (which, by the way,appe,ars to be a very lively
for one of his years I) If it were otherwise, the
additional damage to be done, would have been
stated with that show of ;reason and fairness,
which would have been the best evideoce of its
truth, and calculated to make the judicious pause.
Having despatched this bill in the only way it i
deser-es I come now to a serious consideration of t
the question, now the absorbing topic of city poll•
tics, on its merits. lst, The further reduction of
tl.e grade—its advantag es and necessity. sh The
further damages to be done, and who should pay
for them.
Ist. The farther reduction:of the grade—its ad
vantages and necessity. The history of the pres
ent and former grades. of this street at the given ;
point, as furnished to your -correspondent, what{
does it prove? One of three tidings—either the short I
sighteduess of our former city legislators, their
wonton caprice, or such a vast and rapid increase
of our city beyond their molt sanguine expects- i
tions," and wisest and best considered ..regulations, I
as rendered necessary, changes which would other
wise, justly subject them to ',one or other of the
former charges. What are the facts? Since 182.5,„
the date of the establishment ; of the firstr - rade—l
and in a great degree even since I Sal, the date of
the second grade, our city in its growth has over
leaped, at a hound, its ancient barrier, and spread
itself out on the hills beyond; the " Farmer's and i
Mechanics* Turnpike Road" has been constructed, I
and suddenly matamorphised in•ci " Pennsylvania
Avenue,;' lined with beautiful dwellings and lead
ing to that cluster of magnificent country seats be
yond, which it is no rash prophecy to say will,'
before many years, be the heart and lungs of this
great city. We now hear of the sixth, sekentli,
eighth, am! ninth wards, all of which have sprung
-up from the increase and extension of the city
beyond Grant's Ilill, its former Eastern boundary.
As is manifest the legislation which suited those
times, and the conceptions then entetained of the
future size and greatness of bur city, has become
wholly unsuited to the present. Streets which
were then of no importance, ha% e since risen to be
of the first importance. Avenues, as l means of in
tercommunication with the different parts of the
city, a bich were scarcity dreamed of then. have
now become mattes of the first necessity. But
why particularize? tOur whole city, in fact, has
undergone such a change, and acquired such new
and additional importance, ruin justify the highest
expsctations of its future wealth and greatness.
From the peculiarity of its' situation in the an
gle of two rivers, it CAu expand but in two-direc
tions—along the banks of the Allegheny on the
one side, and along the bluffs of the Atonongahela,
on the ether; covering the interrnediice space.-
1 Wood street and its connexiota with Liberty and
Penn sire- 1 , 3 - now term the great leading ar-enue
inth the lower part of the city, from what may be
. called, the Allegheny River Extension. From the
new and rapid expansion of the city beyond Grant
street, and other obvious reasons, it is evident
there is the same necessity for a wide, direct and
central means of communication to connect with
Wylie street and the Pennsylvania avenue, for the
accommodation of the inhabitants of what may
also be called the Monongahela Hirer Extension.
Such an an enue is found in Fifth street,and the only
obstacle in the way of this natural and beautiful
arrangement, is its present impassible grade. From
this simple statement—the truth of which must
be' obvious to all—how ridiculous becomes the
assertion, that none are interested in this im-!
provement, but a few property-owners between :
Wood and Smithfield streets!" The truth is, it
Iconcerns all those living or owning property in the !
whole region of this new extension. It concerns
Wylie street, Grant street, and Ross street, which,!
besides being made more accessible from the cen-
tre of the city, will be vasty improved by the
proposed reduction. Their grades will be made
more easy and natural, and the value of property
enhanced along their whole line. It also concerns
thetwhole city, and wort especially the whole
county, to hare direct and easily accessible' avenues ,
to the Court House in every dirertion ; which will
be the necessary result of this measure ;—thus vast
ly benefiting ale great mass of the community, and ,
injuring but five . It is obrions, therefore, that it 1
is not merely " a Fifth street question," as is false
ly insinuated by its enemies; but, on te contrary,
a city question --a county question, in whicch are
-tiff more or less interested. Nor ire we merely
to regard it as a question of to-day, but as one con
cerning the future. Unfortunately, this tendency
bias heretofbre been the great mischief in our city
legislation. It is time to learn wisdom from the
past. Pittsburgh, in all human probability, is des
tined to be a great city. It must have its leading
avenues in different directions. Fifth street, from
its superior width as a cross street, its central-pis:
sition and direct connexion with Wylie street and
Pennsylvania avenue, is destined to forrn — part of
1 one of them. Nothing can prevent it. Does any
' intelligent roan seriously believe that Fifth street
can long remain at its present grade? If so, he
must be blind to the future, and the strong current
of events. The only question, then, in this view,
is, when . shall this reduction bq made—dory or
hereafter? A'ow, in the comparative infancy of
this great city, alien it can be done with little ad
liberal injury ; or hereafter, when it becomes an
absolute necessity, and the injury must be ten-fold?
Can anyone doubt this? The very facts of:-this -this
case, as furnished by your correspondent, show the!
effict,of an increase of population and the East-'
lent expansion of the city, on the grade of this very
street. - ~/t wai reduced, it seems, fifteen feel below
the first grade, notwithstanding that it had been
fixed es the ' , permanent grade." Now why this?
Certainly not through caprice, but reluctantly and
as a matter of - neceisi ty. to accommodate the streets
to a 91C111 condition of things—ld the new wants
and convenience of a growing' city: If This, be so,
what has happened, will happen againhns hap
pened, and from the same causes.' A still further
reduction know called far, and 'will continue to
be called fdr,qintil it is granted." If not granted
now, Time will grow the interest anethe power,
not only to demand it, but to hare it at any:cost.
It is, therefore, vain to procrastinate. The ques
tion must-be met and settled, sooner or later-the
iffili
•

sooner the better in every point of view, but es
pecially so in that of city economy. Notwith
standing all that has been . do,ne—hoth. the redue,
tions. that have been Matre - -sall the damage. to
private ptoperty that has ensued---the great objects
of these reductions are still unattained. • Access to
the Conn House, meVery direction, is - difficult, and
for all practical purposes, the grade:of Fifth street,
between Smithfield and Grant; is stilt impasse*.
Where, then, is the great resulting benefit for all
the Injury that has already been done? Is it not
evident, that to turn to some useful account what
1 has been done, we must go farther, and reduce the
grade of the streets centreing at the intersection
of Grant and Fifth, to such inclinations as will
make them permanently useful, and compensate
the city, in benefits, for the great injury which it
has already done to others ? We have gone so far
that we cannot turn back. We cannot even stand
still, for as I have already shown, the pressure of
events is at our back, pushing us forward, however
reluctantly we may yield to the necessity which
drives us onward.
If, then, the grade must be reduced, the only re
maining questions in this point of view are—how
much? and how? Shall the ultimate grade be
established aronce, or shall the same short-sighted,
temporizing policy , again prevail, which - how
mattes a further reduction necessary? Experi
ence, economy, and that ;prudent forecast, which
looks at things as they must be—all strongly de•
mand that the final grade be established at once.
All that is asked is a reduction of ten feet. Even
the ablest opponents of the measure admit that r
reduction less than this would be useless, anti /cave
the question still uhsettled, for the future. In this
view, the friends of themeasure concur, and de
sire, so far as I knoW, that the present grade should
remain unaltered rather than have the question
half-settled by the half-way measures pioposed.—
They only wish ten feet now, but if repulsed and
obliged to wait fur the slow but sure aid of time
and necessity, they will return, possibly like the .
Sibyl of old, nut satisfied with what they ask now,
but demanding more, with both the power and the
trill to take no fess.
As to the subordinate question, how the rehuired
improvement should be made—whether hyd a re
duction of ten feet at the interseetion of Fifth and
Grant streets, or by only a partial reduction there,
in connexion with a few feet elevation of the grade
of Smithfield street ?—it is entirely oneof policy.
The latter suggestion has thisrecotomendatton, (in
case no compensation is to be made for die injury
done,) that it would serve to distribute the burden
of the new damage More equally among a greater
numberbut this disadoantrge, that it raises up a
greater number of enemies against the measure.
The former has the two-fold advantage of diminish.
ing the amount of opposition, and strengthenint ,
the appeal forcompensation, by concentrating the
injury at one point—as it is obvious, it . would be
more likely to be effective, under suchcircumstan
ces,-tban it the injury were divided among a greater
number, Whichever course, therefore, would meet ,
•I with the least • opposition—and be best calculated
to secure the passage of the measure, should cer
tainly be adopted.
2d, The further damages to be done, and who
should pay fur them. Thu damage that has been
done, is carefully to be distinguished from the
damage to be done by a further reduction. In con
sidering the question, these two things, which
ought to be kept
separate and distinct, are often
I confounded. Great injury,it must be confessed,
, has already been done to property ; y, the only
t-tr
question now, is, whether the inuer injury like
Ty to result from a still further reduction of The'
1111 grade, should cause' a wise body of city legis
lators to hesitate about the measure—in view rot '
the present impassable grade of Filth Street, after,
all the injury done—the great advantages, flow 1
anti hereafter, to result front it to the whole corn
- monity—the absolute certainly of its being redu
ced hereafter, if not now—the superior econemy of
i doing it now—and last, not least, the great advan
-1 Cage of plieting the agitation of this question, by
settling it now, and forever. It seems to me, time
is but one course left, for wisdom to pursue—that
already indicated. Any other, is one of continued
agitation, vexation, and still greater injury of pro
perty hereafter. Whether the Catholic Church has.
been fairly dealt with, heretofore,—whether the
city has violated its pledges --and whether it is not :
liable now, and ought not to pay for all damage
done, or to be done, in all city improvements,
which prose injurious to private property—are
questions proper enough in themselves, at the
proper time and place, but which do not necessa
rily anise in this case. They are merely brought
in to embarrass and confuse. The city, as was
said before, is in a peculiar position—she cant go'
backwards—she can't stand still,—she must go
forward. Then let her do so. The damage to be
done, is as nothing to what has been done.i Let her
extricate herself from her embarrassing' position
by determinining to secure to herself the desired
• good, alined at by the damage done but yet unat -
taneid. At worst, this course can only increase
proportionally,:her liability for the injury already
Idone, Let none deceive themselves with the
• idea that non-action will shield the city. if the
I I
ran be made liable for the injury already dune. she
;toll/ be. In considering this question, then, the
1 puLlic good should be placed in the scale against
the private injury r -the vast preponderance of the
former seen—and that course pursued by out city
i legislators, which will secure “ the greatest good
to the greatest number," both how and hereafter.
The question of compensation, is one to be con
sidered hereafter. The only question. now is—
I ought the improvement in question to be made? if
so—let it be done. On the general question of
compensation, I may as well say in passing, that
Imay of the warmest friends of this measure,
at the propel time, will be found, the sturdy
1
advocates of the great constitutional principle:—
that private properly shall not be taken or iti.
jured for public purposes, of any kind, without
adequVe compensation. I speak now of the ques
tion of compeitsotiOn, only so far as it concerns
the suggestion, that the whole of the expense of
the work, and the damages resulting from it•-...
P•ST or PVTURE—should be borne by the property.
owners of Fifth street. If the views already sub
mitted in regard to the great numbers interested
in this measure, directly and indirectly, are cor
rect, I think I have clearly shown, that it is a met.
I ter of public interest—of common concernment—
the whole expense of which, past and fulure, should
be paid for—as other public improvements are
paid for—out of the common treasury. In a matter
1 of this kind, it is impossible to say, who is benefit.
i ted and who is not. Besides, the tax win:h each
citizen pays into the city treasury, is fur the com
mon benefit. If therefore, in a case like the prsent,
large numbers - base not only to pay their taxes, in
common with other citizens—but also to make
such public improvements as are thought to con
cern them more nearly than others—no one can
resist the conviction that they are doubly taxed,
and unfairly dealt with. If it could be shown that
ii disproportionate amount of the city funds have
already been expended in the improvement of this
quarter of the city, there would be same equity in
,the pretension. But when such has not been the
ease, to insist 111 , 011 it—more especially as a condi
tion prcredent—is but adding insult to injury.
' With these views, I leave the subject, for the
present—in the sincere hope that it will not he ne
cessary to recur to it again ~• that the wisdom of
our city Councils will immediately reconsider the
matter and act in it, once for all, speedily and ef
ficiently, devising such plan of present action as
will settle this sexed question, at once and forever .
GO AHEAD.
o:l=•The Ne'w Haven Register, says—" We. oh

ADDRESS OF- THESTATE CENTRAL
COAL LIT TEE.
toe propkol,Petinsylorima::
-
FELLOW CiTtatics-;-Thimitribers of the State
Central Committee of ;tte Democratic party, up•
pointed by the . Late 9th of Mareli - Conveution,deem
it a duty, in the 'fulfilment of the object of their
appointment, to address you in relation to the
present condition of the country; and to call your
attention to the importance of the approaching e
lection.
Never, at any periixd . since the commencement
of our history, have the people at large,and especi-
ally the Democratic party, had more cause to con.
gratulate each other upon the progress of free
principles in improving the-atoridition and extend
ing the huppincas of man. The people of 'these
United States are-411, without respect to party or
sect, in the full and peaceful enjoyment of the
most enlarged civil and religious rights, which are
not only secured by constitutional provisions, but
by that which is much stronger, the good sense
and sound judgment of an enlightened end liberal
community. It also gives us unfeigned pleasure,
to join in congratulations upon the general pros
pea ity which prevades all the business and pecuni
ary relations'of the people. Notwithstanding the
predictions of our leading Federal opponents of
the rain and desdatiqn which was to follow the
election of the-Democratic candidates in 1841, our
prosperity has been onward ever since; 'and at no
period of our existence as a people, have all the
departments of industry—agricultural, mechani
cal, commercial and manufacturing, been in a
more prosperous and healthy condition, and labor
mere in demand at fair rates of compensation than
at the present time. It is when labor commands
its just reward that an honest and industrious tom.
munity is always the must happy.
This condition of things we have reason to be
lieve rests on a sibstantial basis, and is the result,
in a great degree,ef a sound and liberal system of
policy, founded upon just principles of commer
cial entercourse -and reciprocity, in connexion
with a constitutitiOnal system of finance on the
part of the general government, calculated to
prevent excessive issues of paper money, and to
maintain a sound currency.
Our Federal friends, however, would have you
believe that all our present prosperity results from
the scarcity of provisions in Europe, and the con
sequent high prices in this country. That the
scarcity in Europe of breadstuffs has tended to
raise prices in this country, we will not deny.—
Every man of common sense knows this to be a
fact. But every person of intelligence and candor
is also bound to admit that the reduction of the
duties on our flour and grain in the English ports,
with the modification of our own tariff on their
productions, is calculated to enlarge the trade be
tween the two countries, and increase the export
qi our grain and flour permanently; and as this
will increase the ability of our citizens to purchase
and consume manufactures, it will add to the pros
perity of every branch of industry in the country.
In regard to the iron and coal interests, they will
be especially benefitted by the demand for iron to
make railroads to carry the products of agricul
ture to market and to supply the wants of an en
larged internal as well as external commerce. In!
fact, we regard our domeitic manufactuies as so!
I well established that with moderate but certain
duties properly arranged they can withstand the
competition of the world; and in this opinion we
are confirmed by the judgment of practical men
who are engaged in enlarging old, and building
new establishmeuts under the present tariff, without
any reasonable hope of an immediate change.
Our opponents; however, having been driven by ,1
the experience of the country from all their_old
positions in regard to a Bank of the United Statesd
a high protective tariff, and their opposition to;
the Independent or Constitutional Treasury, now
seek to find cause of opposition to the Democratic
party in the war with alexico. In regard to the
bank they told the people that it was indispensable;
to their prosperity, and that the country could not I
exist withont it. They even excited their parti•
zone to madness and encouraged a revolutionary!
spirit amongst the people by denouncing Generall
Jackson as a tyr,ant and an usurper, for his opposi-I
Lion a mcnister bank which sought to place itself
l
above the cionstituted authorities of the notion.
and
and to control the government. A distinguisheilt
member of 'the Federal party on this occasion ad-I
dressed the populace of Baltimore, on Sunday, and
by !ray of encouraging and justifying their con
duct, declared -that in revolutitinary times there
were no Sabbaths." Now the same partizans say ;
that a Bank of the United States "is an obsolete;
idea."
Before the modification of the tariff of 1842.
they declared that if the act of 1 . 816 became a law,
that nearly all the furnaces, forges and manufac•
tories of the country would have to stop; that men
would have to be turned out of employment to
starve; and that the productions of the farmer
would rot on his hands for want of a home mar
ket. '
How these predictions have been verified let the
I present candition 01 the country answer. They
made the like predictions in regard to the opera
tions of the Constitutional Treasury; yet it has
been in operatton about a year, and the country has
never enjoyed a higher degree of prosperity.
Their opposition to the Democratic party on ac
count of the Mextean 'war, is entirely consistent
with their former conduct and practice.
In speaking of our opponents we are compelled
to call them by their proper name of Federalists
—not in derision or unkindness, but because it is
impossible to designate., them by all the names
they have, at various times, assumed, to suit the
emergency in which they Were placed, and to avoid
the guilt and odium of their political offences.
There is no fact which goes further to establish
guilt than that of the accused changing his name
so that he may not be known. This the Federal
ists have done over' and over again until many of
them have persuaded themselves that they are not
Federalists but good honest "Democratic Whigs."
It is, however, a fatal self-delusion, and a mere
hallucination of the mind. They have no just
claim to the name. There were men in that day
who took sides with the enemy against the Whigs
of the Revolution, just as the leaders of the present
opposition party now take sides against the con
stituted authorities of the country.
The Whigs of that day were the advocates of
the rights of their country, and were willing to
sacrifice every thing but honor in resisting the ty
ranny and oppression of the King and Parliament
of Great Britain, and for theestablishment of a free
and independent government.
Taking then their sentiments and conduct as the
test by which to determine what constitutes a
Whig, what just. claim can the Federalists make
to the name ? May we not appeal to the fathers
of Democracy who are yet amongst us to prove,
that from the establishment of the constitution to
the present day, the leading Federalists;in all the ;
difficulties we have had with foreign powers, took
sides against the -Democrats and justified the ene
mies of their country, just as they are now justi
fying the Mexicans, and condemning Mr. l'olk
and the Democratic party?
When Great Britain was insulting our flag, im
pressing our seamen, naturalized and native, and
siezing and condemning our ships and merchandize
under various false pretences prior to the declara
tion of the warof IBiQ., Mr. Jefferson was anxiou s
to bring them to'a sense of justice without resort
ing to war by the adoption of peaceful measures.
ft was for this purpose the embargo and non inter
course laws were adopted. These laws were de
nounced by the Federalists from one end of the
Union to the oilier, as unconstitutional and op
pressive; and such was the feeling among the New
England portion of them, that the laws could not
be executed, and thus was their object defeated.
They then denounced Mr. Jefferson, and the
whole Democratic party as pusillanimous,and said
they could not be kicked into a war.
At length, Mi. Madison, who had succeeded Mr.
'Jefferson, recommended war as the only alterna
tive left to preserve the rights and honor of the
nation, the Federal tune was changed. The Dem
ocrats were then denounced for making war with
out preparation, and by many the war was declared
as wicked and unjust, as the leading Corwin Fede
ralists now denounce the Mexican war.
Many of the New England orators declared it
"unbecoming &moral' and religious people to re
joice at our victories," and thus was the opposition
to the war continued, and the arm of the nation in
a degree paralized by the machinations of Federal
ism, until it ended in the unparalleled victory of
the Bth January, 1815, at New Orleans, achieved
under the auspicesof Andrew Jackson. The result,
of this war gave almost a death blow to Federalism,
and then it was that the . f began to deny their anci
ent name, and to seek for others more popular, in

order to deceive the people ;and screen themselves
from the odium of their traitorous.conduct.
But their npposition to .Demoratic men and
measures, with a few hdnorable exceptions,' con
tinues the same,-no matter what name they'lnay

During the,administration of General Jacksan,
treaty was concluded with France, by-which,in
.
demnity was secured
on our
.some `extent, to our citi
zens, for spoilations n our coininerce by that-na
tion. For some, cause, crier the treaty was con
eluded, the . French Chamber of Deputies refused
to make the 'necessary appropriations to carry it,
into effect, and to pay what the treaty stipulated
shotold be paid, and' the draft of our government
fur one of the instalments was dishonored. This
was an act of bad faith on the - part of France, to
which the adininiWatiori was determined not to
submit, even at the risk of war; and Geti. - Jackson
suggested that if the treaty was not carried into
effect in good faith, we would have a right to make
reprisals. How did the Federal .party behave on
this occasion? Their newspapers were filled with
denunciationsfram one end of the Union to the
other, against the administration, for its rash and
uncalled Tor recommendations, which •would, as'
they said, involve the country in-a war. .
Mr. Livingston, who was thetrin France as our
Minister, prging upon the French government the
necessity of the execution of the treaty, to preserve
the amicable' relations of the two governments,
said the greatest obstacle he found in - the way of .
effecting the object was the Federdl press, particu
larly the National littelligencer, at Washington,
which he requested the Secretary of State to strike
froth the papers sent to the legation ' on account -
of its antl-Atnerican character, which was done
It will also birecollecfed, that during this difficul t
ty, it was anticipated, from news just received at
the close of the session of Congress, in the year
1835, that .France might take advantage, of the
then unprepared condition of the country, and
make a sudden declaration of war. It was there
fore ptoposed to place an appropriation . of three
millions at the disposal of the President to.rneet
the contingency. The proposition - was at once
acceded to by a Democratic House of Representa
tives, and The appropriation was granted by an
overwhelming' vote of that body; But' how was
it treated by a Federal Senate? Rejected instant
er, in the most unparliamentary and indignant
manner. One of the leading and most distinguish
ed members of that body, and the head and front
of Federalism,' declaring that he would not vote
for it " if the enemy saa'e at the .toalls of the Capitol
battering it don-n.".
The approp4ation was lost bye disagreement
between the two Houses. Nothini - , daunted, hotir ,
ever, by the anti-American conduct of the Senate,
General Jackson adhered resolutely to his purpose,
until he compelled Louis Philippe to make aat.irttie
of necessity by paying the indemnity. NOW*
know that our opponents, who'call therriselves
Whigs, insist that they are not the old Federal
party. This, however, as we have before said, is a
mere evasion, to avoid the odium of their former_
deeds. We know theie have been individual
changes; that some Federalists have come into the
Democratic ranks, and some who were Demoerats.
hate gone into the ranks of Federalism. Such I
changes will no doubt be constantly occurring;
but the great body of the party are essentially the
same, and their principles identical. Has not
Philadelphia been always a Federal city—and is it
not now a Whig city? Were alit Lancaster and
Adams counties always Federal counties—and are
they not now Whig counties? Were not Massa
chusetts and Rhode Island always Federal States—
and are they not now Whig States?.
Do not these facts show conclusively that mod
ern Whiggery is old Federalism? Again, look at
old Perks and oid Northampton counties, in this
State. Were they not strongly Whig counties in
1772—Democratic in 1.710, for Jefferson against
Adams—Democratic in the war of ISl2—and are
they not Democratic still ? And again, look at the
States of Pennsylvania and Virginia—were they
not Femocratic in the days of Jefferson, Madison,
and Jackson, and are they not still Democratic?
Do not these few facts show clearly that parties
are essentially, the, same at this time as they were
in the early days or the Republic ? Of this fact,
however, we have further evidence, growing„cint of
the relations of the parties to the present War.—
The Democrats believe that the unjust conduct of
the Mexicans towards. our citizens, and their re
peated agtressions upon our national rights, and
esaecially their assassination of our officers and
soldiers upon our own soil, prior to the battles of
the Bth and oth of May, fully justify the course of
the present administration in the prosecution of
the war until an honorable peace shall be obtained,
and some guaranty given that it will be observed
It is, indeed, a matter of , history that we had
just cause of war with them long since, but, know
tog our own strength, and their weakness, we for
bore, and have endured more wrongs at their hands
than would have been tolerated by us from Great
Britian, France or any other nation on the face of
the globe. At length, emboldened by hur for
bearance, and mistaking our' magnanimity for
weakness or cowatdice, Mexico declared and corn-,
menced the war herself. Now the Federal, party;
especially the leaders, labor in their papers and in
their speeches to prove that this is an unjust and
wicked war, fur which the Democrats arti alone
responsible—just as they did during the war of
1812, with Great Britain, and as they indicated
their course in 1835, in our threatened difficulties
with France.
If the present opposition to the'Democratic par
ty is really a Whig opposition, the word must
have some meaning very different from what it
had in the days orate ReVolution. In those days
the Whigs took part with their country, and the
Tories with the enemy. It seems, however, that
our opponents have found out that if they cannot
alter things, they can change names.
For a full history of the causes which led to the
war, we respectfully refer to the last annual mes
sage of the President, and the proclamation of Gen
eral Scott to the Mexicans, the latter of which, we
presume, our opponents will at least admit is good
authority.
We regret the existence of the war, and the
causes which brought it on; but we deem it the
duty of every — good citizen to sustain the adminis
tration in its vigorous prosecution,until the enemy
shall evince a disposition to make peace on fair
and honorable terms. The Mexicans commenced
it, and: they, and those in our own country who
take sides with them by denouncing the constituted
authorities of the country and placing our own
government in the wrong, are responsible for its
continuance.
If the Federal press, and especially the National
Intelligencer. caused so much difficulty to Mr.
Livin c ifston, in France, in adjusting oar difference's
with that government, what must be the effect of
the same press, and all others of like stamp,'now,
on the Mexicans, a people much less intelligent as
a body than the French, on the question of Pitace.
This is a question worthy of the attention of
the arithmeticians of our Federal opponents.
here we Hill drop the subject for the present,
simply remarking that we know that there are
many good end patriotic men in the ranks of our
opponents, who do not approve of the course of
their leaders, and who ought not to render them
selves subject to our remarks by their adherence to.
a party that is habitually wrong.
To such we say, in all kindness and sincerity,
examine your position, and if you find yourselves
acting with those who are opposing their country,
come over to the Democratic party. It is the par
ty of the country, and whatever may be its errors,
it will never be found taking sides in time of war
with the common enemy.
It was our intention when tve commenced this
address to call your attention particularly to the
MIMI-8 of our own State, and contrast the present
condition of the. Commonwealth with iticondition I
a few years ago. We have, however, extended
our remarks in relation to matters connected with
the general government, beyond what we intended,
and will not therefore weary your patience at this
time, by going at length intottthe administration of
affairs in our own State. We shall reserve this for
the subject of another address.
The State improvements are doing well, and
will, from the most authentic information we
have been able to obtain, clear at least one mil

fiscal year, after the payment of all expenses, un

know of no waste or frauds that are being perpe.
trated on the funds of the Commonwealth. We
believe they are faithfully collected and applied to
their proper use. The accounting department has
been assidously engaged in settling old accounts,
and enforcing the paym ent

a very considerable sum has, within the last year
or two, been realized. The interest on the, public

Paul Jones —Headly, in his sketch of Paul Jones,
relates the following laughable anecdote • .
The daring rover was hovering on the coast of
Scotland, and just then threatening Kirkelily,
"The inhabitants, as they saw her bearing stead
ily pp towards the place, were filled with terror.
and ran hither and thither in affright; but the gook
minister, Rev, Mr. Shirra, assembled his flock on
the beach, toipray the Lord to deliver them from
their enemies. He was an eccentric man r —one . of
the quaintest of the quaint old Scotch divines, so
that Isis prayers, even in those days, were often
quoted for their oddity, and even roughness.
Whether the following prayer is litterally trite
or not, it is difficulty to tell ; but there is little doubt
that the invocation of the excited eccentric ohl
man was sufficiently odd. - It is said -that, having
gathered his congregation on the beach in full sight
of the vessel, which, under a press of canvasff,Avik
making a-long tack that brought her close to the
town, he knelt down on the sand, and thus began:
'Now, dear Lord dinna ye think it a shame for ye

Commerce of the Knifed Stalcs.—The tonnage of

of any nation in the world. The Most of the

The Charleston Courier says that an amateur
artist of that city has recently produced. two fine
specimens of statuary. His first, attempt. was a
bust of a friend, which he chiselled, without a mo

effort consisted, in moulding from native ,clay, in
three days, an admirable bust of a clergeman - of
Charleston. This new candidate for the honors of
sculpture is Mr, JOHN CLARKSON. He accidently
discovered his genius for statuary while engaged in
carving a head out of a piece of wood; and finding
that he produced and imitated features with great
facility, he was led to' a more ambitious effort
