This expression seemsto have given a severe shock to the nerves'of the mi s called ",PaCriAf f : in our , , neightsoring . coinity of Washington; and he discharges'from his popgun, the following:— • One cannot but Admire the candor and'determi tied spirit of the Southern who declare ;that they will licit suriport the nominee of the Na •,- tional Convention, unless lieis pledged to sustain Southern interests; but this gratuitous pledgeon the part of northern men, to support any man who may be nominated; tariff - or anti-tariff, bank or anti . bank; pmviso'or anti-proviso, slaveholder or non :, slaVeholder; issomething worse than contemptible." !There" are probabli some minds, possessed of ca pacifies too limited to enable them to comprehend the - operations of great principles, designed to affect the interests of the whole country; and look }..- ing to the accomplishment of no merely sectional . .. -. .„: 1,- purposesi:and; in such minds, it is natural to sup -,-.:7.-, pose that the course recommended and acted upon, , 4 .r. f ,L' . by . all the , great leaders of the Democratic party, t .... . 7 .1 ;.-. ~.. ..itill excite wonder; ' but it is only arousing when li=4 , - ViV hear beings who have but "one idea," (and that -..FTthi offspring of the minds of Great Britain ; ) talk f-'. - - -about " contempt " for a truly american pdiry.

Having, in common with our citizens, enjoyed the gratification of attending the exhibition of this celebrated Painting, and ,of bearing the lectures of Colton; I cannot forego the wish of inviting oilers to an exhibition which I sincerely believe ' will afford: much that is pleasing and instructive. The Painting has given us no ordinary pleasure ; `;althoughi claim neither the ability nor the inch- L. nation to oTer Critical remarks upon one of the highest achievements of. genius; yet I may per .;;..llaps be permitted to remark, that the Painting -,.„:.,appearstiihave a higher aim than simply a repre sentation of the beautiful. It is not merely ad dressed to the imagination, but presents an ern bodi mentor facts,inliving figures, addressing a pow errel appeal, to the more elevated emotions of our natur - the. deeper feelings of the heart. It seems 2,-to have achieved the great design of painting as Christian art,,--the giving of significance to the •.'s figures, and the conveying of instruction. Two of the figutes charmingly exemplify what - ..Plato.ealls 4, the most beautiful spectacle, the bar ., mon) , of besiltiful manners with a beautiful con figuration "—while in the other figures of the differ ent gronps, their beauly and conformity to truth ave the effect of creating a belief in their actual (existence, and commanding our bighestadmiration of the, powers, the taste, and skill of the artist. D. PRENTICE. Thoroughly Drgroding. , One' of the most-unqualified acts of political de• gradation which we have ever recorded, is that of a Federalist in the State of Michigan, who offered the following resolution at a public meeting of his :rri- • party Resolved, That the practice which has for seve ral Years prevailed, of requiring candidates for the -Presidency to make public confession of their opin. ions on the poising.political topics of the times, is a departure from the example set in the earlier and purer days of the republic; that it would be unnecessary-for Gen. Taylor to respond to calls of tlig kind; that no man ought to be elected to the Presidency, whose integrity, character, principles. • and patriotism have not been made sufficiently :;;: . manifest by his past life and conduct, and that the ,;'f: Chief Executive Magistrate of a country like this, 1 *.:" ought to be left free and untrammeled, to art ac r -- 'cording to its various circumstances and exigen cies." It is a great pity that the name of the author r•of this vile production had not been circulated with - - it:" for we doubt not he is destined to fill some ..- important station in-the ranks ofhis party. That party has been condemned by the people under eve - ry name which, it bas assumed; and now, like -'.'- some worn out libertine, it takes the garb of ex treme saneity, and commences prating about lion ,- esty, public virtue and purity. Out upon such ' , ypocrisy The most infamous crone would make as much headway in preaching up ,E.'• modesty and chastity to a virtuous female society. John Norvell, once a Senator from Michigan, pre sided ANOTIIER LETTER FRO* THE OLD Hello. - - We understood, sometime since, that General Tay lor bad resolved to write no more letters, but not withstanding, find the following from him in the Native Edgle, of this week : HEAD OtrAIiTERII, AUNT OF OCCEVATIoN, Camp near Monterey, July r,, 1847. 5 Native Sirr—The prospectus of a iv American pa , per, to be edited by yourself, forwarded to me with attached remarks from you, has been duly received.

Murray Whallon, G. H. Cutler, Wm• A• Galbraith, Jphn Pagan, Jos. E. Lee, C. G Howell, and D.. W. Howard, were appointed a committee to draft - resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting: The Convention was addressed in an able and eloquent manner by the lion. Jamas TuomrsoN, and also by Mr. Anderson, 'a young gentleman formerly of Erie, but fora number of years a resi dent of the south, wlao..,lsas just returned from a year's campaign in Mexico under Gen. Pattelson. His remarks were listened to with _great attention, and received with I•ountrs of applause. • - - The following are among i 'the -resolutions that were adopted Resolved, That the war with Mexico, into which the country has been forcsd by the injustice, ag gression and final invasion of our soil by that na tion, is a war based upon the just defence of our national rights and national honor, and a total dis regard of such motives will.constitute in the his tory of this 'Republic, the - only apology of that party which has hitherto denounced it as unjust and iniquitous. Resolved, That it is the duty of every good citi zen, when the country is engaged in a foreign war, to yield to their councils their most cordial and hearty "support ; and those who denounce her, and her efforts to prosecute a successful war, for the purpose of procuring an honorable, peace, :are un worthy the name, as they possess none of the princi.r pies of patriots. Resolved, That the great and unprecedented prosperity of our country, furnishing to labor its dne reward, and to all an abundance for the sup- ply of every want, is the best. evidence of the wis dom and patriotism with which its affairs arecon ducted, and the purity awl ability of its coun cils. Resolved, That the administration of James K. Polk has encountered a period more than ordinari ly critical in the history of this Reiublic, and on every emergency it has proved equatto the wants, interests and wishes of the country.. Preserving and protecting its citizens against enemies from abroad as well as at home. Resolved, That as Pennsylvanians ,we have viewed with unmingled gratification the proud and thatelevated character has marked and distinguish ed the present Administration in its diplomatic intercouse with foreign nations. That the Hon. James Buchanan, the distinguished chiet of the State Department, although long admired as an orator, a strong and cogent reasoner, a ready deba ter, and a sound statesman, 'yet his present pod lion has opened a new field for the display of his talents, in which be has added fresh lustre to his already distinguished reputation. Resolved, That the Administration of Fasnms R. SIICrNIC has fully come up to all that was pro. mired for it by its friends--it has been honest, ef- fective, patriotic and faithful to the:people's inte rests, for which they will assuredly re-elect him their Governor on the Second Tuesday of Octo ber next. Rao!red, That when the propel . time arrives to select candidates for President and Vice President, the democracy of,Erie county will be among the first to hail the regular nomination of a National Convention. TUE Ei.ccxioas.--There is nothing in our ex changes received last night, of a more definite character than we have already given, respecting the erections in either-Kentucky or Indiana. FlHE.—There was a very destructive fire in Maysville on the 4th inst., which originated on Water st , in a large block of three story ware houses. Loss estimated at $40,000. Half insured. CL10.% EING.—Some of the Washington letter writers are beginning to manifest apprehensions for the gaiety of the army under Gen. Scott. They may quiet their fears ; that army will take care of i itself, and of the Mexicans too. By the last ac counts it numbered 11,000 men, and would soon be increased to 14,000, by the arrival of the di•l vision under Gen. Pierce. There is not in all Mexico a sufficient available force to meet that brilliant column with success; and the Mexicans' know it. Possibly they may make the attempt ; but, if they do, it will be with the expectation of defeat. It is to be hoped, both for our sake and their own, that they will avoid the necessity by accepting the renewed overtures for peace. [N. Y. Journal of Commerce. The above article was selected for insertion in our paper some days since. In the mean time, the news has arrived of the entire defeat of the Mexicans near their capital, and the taking of the city by the American army The publication of the extract is made pox, therefore, only to show the correctness of the conclusions to which men may come,when not entitYly blinded by unworthy prejudices, or prompted by the most dishonorable motives. azy Wm. lican•nn, Esq., a Federal candidate for the Senate of Tennessee, has withdrawn from' the canvass on account of the infamous sentiments advanced by the notorious Col. H4SAILL, who left the Army in Mexico, and came home to traduce Gen. Pillow, and try to get a seat in Congress.— Mr. Hubbard says that if the majority of the Fed eral party hold such doctrines asflaskell does, be cannot represent their views. In one of his elec. tioneering speeches Haskell is said to have ob served If lam elected, my policy and aim will be, to blow off the blood hounds, acknowledge the error of our way; take a retrograde march, under the tune of Ronaparte's retreat from Moscow, until we reach the east Bank of the Rio Grande I" This is the language of a Whig," whose patriotism required him to leave the army, and come home to villify the brave men who are now perilling their lives in the cause of their country., Increase of Methodism in-the U.

In these 81 years, there:has been an increase of 71, and a decrease of 10 years, viz: 1788, 1790, 1792, 1794, 1705, 1796, 1814, 1836, 1842, and 1846. The greatest increase during any one year, was 154, 625: viz. in 1843. The total membership of the M. E. Church, South, is at present, as follows: Whites 327.284 Colored. • 124,961 Indians 2,972-435,217 Last year Whites... Colored... Indians..., This decrease is from the white membership of thethurch. There is a gain of 150 colored mem bers on the preceding year. ca.

M - Manus, Es q ., or Bellefonte, and was originally attached to the Centre Guards," a company coMposed of the 'bravest and most patriotic men raised for the war, but which failed of acceptance. Determined not to be thwarted in his purposes, young Bayard at tached himself 61 the Juniata coutpany, in which be was promoted from the r anks to the post of 2tl Sergeant. We rejoice in the still further promotion of our excellent friend Bayard. A printer by profession, and a sterling Democsat, he will not fail to serve the Mexicans with a _copions supply of bolls, and prove to them that he has been well taught in the use of the shooting-stiek:! Jew-iron Hrlp for Inland.—A report received by the last steamer from the "Central Relief Com mittee of Dublin, gives the following u the sum of the relief funds received by them from the Un ited States viz: Total amount of Donations in money deceived from the U. S ,to this date, (July 10th) 7th mo,loth .Ct 1,6011.38 Estimated value of Bread Staffs recei v. ed or advised from the U. S. to same date £95,134 2 0 1:11.4),52.3 s Or more lhan half a million of dollars. Of dona., tions given in Great Britain and Ireland. the same! Committee had received .£4.4,005. But it would be unjust to Aer, as some editors appear to do, that the people of the United States have contri buted more for the relief of Irlimd, than British subjects have; for it must be recollected that there are other channels of distribution besides the Dub. lin Relief Committee. We have lately seen in some English paper, a statement of the amount contributed by the people of Great Britain, and though we do not remember the figures, our im pression is that the amount greatly exceeded half a million dollars. We say this in justice to the British people, and not .to disparage the liberality of our own, which, so far as we know, is without a parallel in history, taking into view the fact that the parties relieved were subjects of a foreign gov ernment, and the further fact, that every dollar given, was a free will offering of the people. [Journal of C'ommercr. 0:r Speaking of Mr. Tyler as having come out for Taylor, Prentice (the Louisville Journal) says that in a free country, where every man joins what. ever party he pleases, a popular party must of course expect to have a good many rascals in its ranks.—National Whig. The National Wbig assumes to be the Taylor Organ-, and spoke the other day in such, terms of its leader, as to show that its party had a rascal as its mouth piece, or at its head. It said— " The Signal letter is the offspring of some miserable, mean, lying fellow, who would steal your purse, or stab you in the back, if an oppor tunity only offered of doing either, without detec tion." The Signal letter was written by Gen. Taylor.— Albany Atlas. Breach of Promise.--it may be a satisfacticin to all parties to know that hereafter in Pennsylvania, in cases of this kind, the evidence of a promise amine ceptance must be positive, and not inferential, the Supreme Court having lately so decided in cases in which the circumstances were most aggravated, and which ought to have justified such an infeience, if any thing - could. Ladiet- will, therefore, see the -ne cessity of bringing their lovers up to the point, and male them pop the question directly, otherwise it will not amount to much. They also must be pre pared to say "yea" in an open, loud voice, as we question much whether fainting away, the old man ner of acceptance, is now sufficient.---Ball. Sun. Ty The Postmaster General has given the con. tract for carrying the United States mail from Charleston _to Havana, to Messrs. Mordecai and Gourand, two merchants of the highest respecta bility in Charleston, of whom the latter is already connected with the Northerner and Southerner, steamers to New York.

The items of interest on first cost, Insurance, wear and tear, &c., make en additional sum enough to swell the whole roll of transportation on the western rivers to over $11,04.)U,000 annually. . These boats, the committee say, are capable of carrying annually upwards of 10,000,000 t on s freight; and they suppose the value of the annual ' commerce to be over $432,000,000, or nearly twice as much as that of the whole foreign corn. merce of the country. The length of navigation is between ten and fif teen thousand miles The loss by destruction of boats from remova ble obstructions in the rivers is estimated at $2,- 000,000 annually. Of this amount, government loses its full share, as it has at riskgin these waters, not less than $5,000,000 annually. From 1824 to 1940, $2,528,800 had been ex pended for improvenients on western rivers, while during the same time, for light-houses, beacons, piers and harbors on the sea-coast, nearly $13,000,- 000 have been appropriated. St. Louis owns 23,800 of steamboat tonnage, worth $1,547,000, and during 1846, there arrived here 467,824 tons, exclusive of flat-boats, 801 in number. The whole value of its exports and im ports is set down at $75,000,000. The government °tans in the neighborhood of St. Louts—at the arsenal and barracks—sl,7so,- 000 worth of property, the use of which tp the government is of immense value and Importance The following items are colleCted front the re port: The cost of -running a steamboat on the wes tern rivers is six times greater than the cost in curred upon the' lakes.

"A PLIA eon COLPOILTAGEj being an attempt to expose the fallacy of the arguments adduced by Professor Alexander T. KGB', of the Western Theological Seminary, Pa., in an article entitled " Colportage," inserted in the Presbyterian Advo cate, May 26th, 1547. By Watchman.—" Refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this work be of men, it wilt come to nought ; but if it be of God ye cannot overthrow it ;—lest haply ye be found to fight even against God." This is the title of a little tract which has been laid upon our table. We could not have supposed that any pro= fessing Christian would try to oppose the sending of religious tracts into every family in our coun try, or religious exhortations in destitute neighbor hoods. to long as the former are kept free from sectarian dogmas, and the latter are made by pious men, they must prove a source of consolation to many a one who would otherwise find but little enjoyment on earth.

On Monday they were again per mitted to breathe the free air. Inspired with feel ings of resentment, one of them—the patriarch of the establishment—yesterday ihformed upon Mr. Gone,ly, one of his neighbors, 'for selling liquor without license; and Mr. G. and his wife, at the same time, commenced . proceedings against Wil liams, (the aforesaid patriiirds) for certain threats, &c. Officer Fox went alone to make the arrest. lie managed the old man well enoug h, but-a lady appeared too many for him. He placed her ripen a dray, and took a seat beside. her, which act of courtesy she'requited. by inserting her teeth in the muscles of the officer's hand. He goes forth from the struggle with the marks upon him. With the assistance of Mr. Robb, who (Tine to the rescue, the one flesh" were taken before Alderman Steele, and were there examined, and in default of bail, sent uy for trial by the Quarter ,Sessions. Jos Rsasits Asa) Goa. Masc.—These citizens had a suit before Alderman Parkinson yesterday. about something we did nu hear what,nor the re- sult. We presume it was settled right. 01 :. Spalding's Circus was in Cincinnati at the latest dates, humbugging the people in fine style. This company ought to be making money. co'. One of our City exquisites wears a very black eye. We are told he received it for some over polite attentions to a lady. He may learn a fruitful lesson from this little circumstance, and may be profit by the admonition contained in, his antogonist's fist. The steamship Allegheny, built at this city t will' touch at Norfolk.

She was under the wheel when the horses were stopped—another step would have sent her to her long home.. The fault is with the parents, not the drivers. Asnnxw's Satoox.—We just dropped in the other evening, to hear the music and sup the'cream. We must say we were pleased with both. Mr. Kneass is well known here as a vocalist, so we need say nothing of him. Mrs. Sharp and Miss Bruce are both sweet songstresses, in addition to being very handsome women. That smile of Mrs. Sharp's is exquisite, and in some pieces she dis• plays it to great advantage. It is a better accom• paniment than the piano. She as well as Miss B. are great favorites with the frequenters of that es tablishment. (CP We understand that Citizen Swankir will at rive in our city in a week or ten days.

We know a lady who has tried it. She says it's a humbug, and that she will not be soaped again. . G'There was a serious and ludicrous .fight at Me wharf yesterday among some pedlers. The Mayor imposed the fine, and- permitted them to leave. From Borne threats made by some of the parties, we fear the end is not yet. 0:7- H. H.
