• - Morality of the Gazette.
"The defeat of such a man is a moral triumph,
and we cong ratulate the friends of Christianity and
good moral s ml it. Owen has fallen to rise no
more in his o. m district- -
We cut thel above from the Gazette, some days
since, intendi6 to make a few comments upon it.
The time has not passed by when comments) in
appropriate, 'pod we therefore give our neiEbbor
the benefit 01 its appearance today. To read the
frequeitt allo4ions to the beauties..of morality and
religion, in the editorial columns of that paper,
and the Mari)} homilies upon the - sacred rights of
freedom of oioion and liberty of speech, &c., one
would suppoe that it would give our neighbor
true pleastire i lo heir of the ptibliz men of our
country being really moral and uptight men; and
yet the reader who comes to this conclusion, does
hinta palpable injustice;—by attributing to him a
regard for virtue and morality, which he does not ;
possess; or, he -really possesses it, he is most 1
:Culpably ignorant of the history of some of our
mostdistingUished public men.
• The editor of the Gazette professes, and we
doubt not entertains, a profound sentiment of re
gant for Henry Clay and Daniel Webster; and we
doubt not that he would sincerely regret the defeat
of either of these men in a political canvass. He
•holds them tip to his countrynien as worthy of all
tonor—as T4ragons of excellence. In doing this
. -
he presents the strongest proof which an editor can
.ciffer,
.of abiding confidence in them ; and of his
Aishforilieir success. If they, or either of them
succeed at itny time, their triumph is deemed a
matter of rejoicing; and of course—according to
his professions of morality, and his holy horror of
any thing impure, he must rejoice at the success
of the ntoretif y of their lives, and the pwity of
their conduct
We venture the affirmation—and defy success

last twenty iyears—that, among all the most dis-
tinguished ni)en who have periodically visited the
scat of 'government, no two who can be named,
hase'stood lower on the scale of rigid morality

have been a most inveterate gambler, and also

well'knowu in many of the haunts of vice, once
very common in that city ; and the virtues! of the
latter,.afford matter for too many pointed jokes of
no very pure character, (even during his term as
Secretary ok State,) to admit the belief, in any ra
tional mina, that he will ever be canonised.
• We diave!known too many of our public men to
be very grossly deceived in relation to the state ofl
morals amOng them—when measured by the rigid
standard set up by the editor of the Gazette for
his political opponents. We know too, that their
morals are Ino worse, taken as those of a class,
than the Morals of the same number of men
Who may he selected from society at large. Wei
therefore do not feel called upon to embark upon
any such iinixotic expedition as that of Censor
rnorum for bur public men. We are disposed to
let those of their fellow citizens, who are more
mediately interested in their morals, undertake the
task of producing a reformation, if one is deemed
necessary. 1 We are not therefore in the habit_ of
referring td the moral character of public men, un
less they have so little as to render the matter no.
toriously d isgraceful to our country; andwe will
assail the moral character of no man, whether a
public or lfrivate man, unless his character is justly
assailable. l We would not have referred to that of
the two distinguished personages so unqualifiedly
pure and Moral in the estimation of the editor of
the Gazette; had it not been with a view to show
his inconsistency, and utter disregard for true mor
ality, or his ignorance of -the real character of our
public men
In assailing, the moral character of Ronrnr

of his countrymen Henry Clay and Daniel Web
, 1
ster 'this 'inconsistency (or Whatever else may be
its cause
most singularly manifest : for we hesi
tate tabling in saying, that, among all our public
men, the number is exceedingly limited, whose
morality is of a higher order than that of Mr.
()Wen: We would also remark that the prophecy
of the. Olzette is as far from being likely to prove
correct;' Is is his profession of regard for moral
character Robert Dale Owen has been defeated.
He has leen, it is true; and he has fallen in de
fence of the soundest principles of the Democratic
faith. • BLit he is not a man to be kept down. Like
the - eterrial principles of 'truth, a mind like his
must—WlLL—rise again. All the influence of
Fetleralim cannot prevent this.
We have extended this article beyond the limits
which we intended in the outset; because there
hbs"seenied to be a necessity for it. Not so much
to vindidate the character of Mr. Owen : for that
needi:no vindication among those who know him:
but to show how little reliance is to be placed upon
the statements of the Federal press—respecting
theit pilitical opponents—more especially upon
- those, in this instance, of our riry moral neighbor
of the Gazette.

when the mere rantings of prejudice may for a
time accomplishibis purpose.
The Ever. trbe Democracy of Bella county
held a meeting at Reading, on the third instant
for the purpose of adopting measures preparatory
to the coming election. Selatner. FEOELT, Esq,
presided, with the usual number of Vice Presidents
and Secretaries. A Conimittee to prepare resolu
tions was appointed, and during their absence, J.
Glancy Jones, Esq., Hon. William Strong, W. C.
Leavenworth : Esq., and Hon. Edwanl B. Hubley,
were severally called for and responded in au able
and eloquent manner.
The following excellent resolutions were report
ed by the Committee, and unanimously adopted.
They are the real fire of the flint :
Resolved, That the wise and constitutional course
of policy pursued by James K. POlk, and the abili
ty which has distinguished his administration, has I
reflected credit upon the Democratic party, and
meets the warn? approval and. confidence of the
people at large, who have witnessed the success of
their measures and principles now in operation,
and have hailed, with proud satisfaction, the glori
oustriumph of our arms against an enemy by
whose act war exists, and which has been ably
managed by the statesmen iii the cabinet, and no-.
bly and bravely sustained upon the. field. Palo
Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Buena Vista,
Sacramento, Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, attest
the invincible bravery and 'skill of the citizen sol
dier in defence of his country.
Resolved, That the meed of praise and the
thanks of the nation are eminently due to Gen
erals Taylor and Scott, and the officers and soldi
ers under their command, for the brilliant victories
they have achieved on the plains and strong-holds
of Mexico, and shed new lustre upon our flag, and
added new strength to the Republic. whose just
,lights they have nobly and gallantly vindicated
lupon the field of battle.
Resolved, That the establishment of a National
Bank, or the increase of 'banking capital in our
State and country, is subversive of the public
good, ruinous to its business, both foreign and do
mastic, and dangerous to the rights and liberties of
the people; and we shall continue to uphold the
sentiments of Jerrvnsox and JACKSON. that the
creation of banking moncfpolies and banking as
sociations, is contrary to the spirit of our free in
stitutions.
Rrsolred, That the safety, success, and advance
ment of Democratic principles, depends upon the
organization of the pary—that regular Conven
tions, in which the people are represented by Del
egates of their own chooing, National, State, and
county, established for its harmony, integrity slid
union, against a corrupt and desperate party, is es
sential to its existence, and that we will adhere, on
all occasions, to the time-honored customs of the
party in =electing its candidates. believing it the
only method for the preservation of the purity of
our principles, and the success of our cause.
Rewired, That FRANC' s R. Sue NK, as Governor
of Pennsylvania, has faithfully and steadfastly
carried out Democratic principles—promoted the
welfare of the people—protected them from the in.
roads of heartless and unconstitutional monopolies
—maintained the honor and credit of the Com•
monwealth, and restored our finances, by practising
strict economy in every department of the govern
ment, upon a basis which 'will gradually lead to
the extinguishment of the State debt, and the re
duction of taxes, which would be again augment
ed, were the candidatis of Federalism to break
down, at this time, by their election, the confidence
and safe condition of things as they now so hap
pily exist.
Resolved, That our condi late fur Canal Corn.:
missioner, Mutants of :Montgomery
county, is fully qualified for the office to which he
has been nominated, and that a life of unspoted
integrity, both moral and political, entitle him to
the cordial support of the Democratic party, and
all others who have an interest in the welfare of
the State.
Was made upon the Post, on Monday morning!
last, from the "long, low, black Schooner;' which)
sails out of Fourth street ; butlas none of the shots I
from her batteries took effect, we have not thought
it worth while to waste our ammunition by giving
return shots. Our craft is under way, with a
fair breeze on the starboard quarter, and running I
at the rate of nine knots an hour. on a smooth sea,
and with a clear sky. We have our chart always I
near the binnacle, and an experienced mariner at
the " look out," ready to give warning of t; breakers
ahead!" " a squall on the weather quarter !" or "a I
strange craft on the larboard tack !" !laving as
certained the nature of the craft, we continue on
our course,—(specially if we perceive indications
of t• the black flag;"—and knowing that there-is no
horror gained by a victory over such a craft, we let
them run, unless forced into a contest. It is to the
interest of the owners of all such craft. that regu
lar cruisers, of every flag, should be intercepted
and robbed ; and of course their commanders are
I not acall choice of the means by vi hich they shall
obtain a prize
The Chronicle, (one of those craft of the descrip.
lion alluded to,) evidently wishes to gain the at
tention of some portion of the people : and in order
to do so, pretends to independence. the pirate is a
thorough-bred independent; but does not enjoy ei-!
Cher the confidence or the reaped of any portion of i
the civilized community; and, so long as he con.
tinues to be a pirate, he never can secure respect
or confidence. We said, in our former article—
(which was written, as this one is, just at the time
that suited our convenience)—that we made_no
attack on such craft as this is—we mean to make
none. We are not willing to aid in giving such
concerns any importance ; and therefore only no
tice them when we are measurably compelled to do
so. The statements which we made in our former
article were satisfactory to our friends; and we
expected not to satisfy any others. We knew
that we could not satisfy any of those who sail
under or sustain " the black_flag,;" and we do not
wish to pursue such a course as will satisfy them.
There are great questions before the people of
this country, for their decision. Some of which
we support: and others' we oppose. The pretend.
edly independent presses can take either side, which
seems t o
c promise most to themselves ; and are at
liberty to do so, so for: -as we are concerned; but
lany attacks which they may make upon us, shall
not induce us to . relinquish our search for large fish,
in the great ocean of political principle, for the
purpose of engaging in the pursuit of minnows
and tad poles in the little creeks and ponds of the
country. We may not be successful in our efforts
to secure the former; but we will not spend our time
in trying to get the latter; only as they may serve
our main purpose. We are thefore satisfied when
.we can get even one of these smaller fish, to be
sent out as hait,for the larger ones. It can soon
be ascertained whether the bait has taken, or not ;
and we are then willing that it shall be swallow.
ed. The line being set, we are content to- let - it
remain, until ourfish has become exhausted ; or.
we can draw him in at our pleasure.
The independent (1 character of the Chronir/e,
is not sufficient to withdraw "us from making ex
postires of the party sins of its more favored Eerie

0:1•The Ne v York Courier and Enquirer advo
cates the election of Gen.•:T4Tton, to the Presi
dency, on !most singular ;rounds. We quote from
that p,aper as follows: .
" We have said, and still think, that one of. the
gieatest blessings to flow from his election to the
Presidency, is the death-blow it will give to Abo
litionism. Elect Taylor, a slave-holder, to the
Presidency, and the people who do so at once pro.
claim to the whole country that they stand by the
Constitution, and will not consent to ostracise and
proscribe any man because he holds property, re•
cognized las such by the Constitution itself. It
will be proclaiming trumpet-tongued, that they
prefer the Constitution and the union of the States
to mere party success, and the loaves and fishes
which party success brings with it; and because
such wilOhe the effect of his election, The Tribune
is opposed to him, as it is to any man who will
not unite ; with it in its infamous attempts to pull
down all the institutions of the country which are
Repiddicrin, and replace them with institutions rad
ically Democratic."
We put the above on record for the purpose of
calling the attention of the whigs of the North to
the sentiments it contains. A m ijority of Whig
papers of late years have become wonderfully in
dignant at every thing that has the appearance of
favoring the institution of Slavery. In fact, many of
them went as far, as the most ultra abolitionists in
the country could go, in denouncing Slavery and
Slave-hoOers. The Courier and Enquirer was a
mongst the first to unfurl the name of General
Taylor at its mast head, and its reason for so do
ing, it says, is to give a „ death blow to abolition
ism I" Will the other Whig editors at the North
who pleas such extravagant love for General
Taylor, join hands with Webb in this new move
ment 'I :We shall see.
co -In replying to our first article relating to
the course of the Gazette towards the Catholics,
we were not informed of a fact, which, to some
extent, is calculated, in that particular instance, to
exhonerftte its editor from the degree of censure
that, otherwise he would have been justly entitled
to. The fact was subsequently stated by the Ga
zette ; and is, that the article from which we quo
ted, ridiculing the Catholic faith, appeared in that
paper without the knowledge of its editor. This
certainly is an excuse; and, so far as the editor is
concerned, is a sufficient one, if he should urge it,'
in all cases of similar character; but whetherthe
excuse would in the same degice affect the charac
ter of the paper, is a question of some moment.
Thr ethic,- may not exercise that critical supervision
lover the articles appearing in his paper, which a
I due regard for the feelings of a large portion of the
community requires; but, if he does not, even
though he May entertain sentiments directly the
opposite to those promulgated in it, his paper can
scarcely be considered as favoring doctrines differ-.
gut from those which it advocates.
cr_There was a Democratic meeting at Read
ing, Berks County on the 2d inst. at which strong
ground : was taken in favor of Gen. Taylor, as the
Democratic'candidate for the Presidency. If Gen.
Taylorcomes out frankly and boldly in favor of
Democratic Principles, as proclaimed and advoca•
ted by Jefferson and Jackson, we see no objections
to his nomination by Democrats. We are in fa
vor of the old time-honored method of making a
nomination by a National Convention; and who
ever selected by that body as our Stpulard
Bearer; , shall receive our unqualified support.' This
is the Only true course for Democrats to inirsue.

EAUCtrAtITEI2% OFTfIL AUNT.
•
.MY Dear Sir have received the two letter s,
(one from the Rev. Mr. Angier, and the other
signed by Mr. Van Wyck,) asking on several,
grounds, the discharge of James Thompson. a pri
vale of the second Regiment of Artillery. Ist—!
He hes, since his enlistment, reformed his habits
This is an argument in favor of his serving out his
time, lest he should relapse, if discharged, before
confirmed in his reformation—military discipline
highly favors reformation. 2d—He has become
pions. This makes him ot once a better soldier
and a better man, and lortunately we are not with
; out many pious officers and men in our ranks; but
3d—it is alleged that he has imbibed conscientious
scruples against performing military duty. if the
man he mad he can be discharged on a surgeon's
certificate to that effect—but if he has only turned
,coward, we have ample means of punishing him
if he should, when ordered, refuse to fight.
I return the letters to you enclosed, and remain.
I my dear, sir, with great esteem, yours truly,

1:0 — • It is remarkable that Robert Dale Owen , a
man known and remarked in Washington city as
one of the most temperate and moral members of
Congress—abstaining entirely from all the fash
ionable vices of the metropolis—a man noted for
his uprightness at home and abroad, should• be
actually beaten on account of his abstract opinions
about morals and religion ; that bigots, debauch.
ers,gamblers, and sots, should be preferred to the
man of blameless life; provided the former will
play the hypocrite, and talk about "holy temples,"
whilst the latter makes no long facts nor pious
I grimaces. A man may be a duellist, a gambler ,
or anything else; he may violate every command
of the deca logue, and trample every precept of re
ligion under his feet; and thus show as much prac
tic jl infidelify and as much contempt for morality
and religion as he pleases; and be applauded by
the! very hypocrites and bigotswho raise the alarm
and roll up their eyes at obnoxious opinions.—

The Bristol (R. 1.) Phumix, says:—" A few'

Joan Qerxer Annie —The following relation
of a visit to Mr. J. Q. Adams appears in the Ash
tabula (Ohio) : ,Sentinel of August 2nd :
•• Descending from the beautiful eminence on
I which Mr. C. F, Adams resides, by a very gentle
slope in a road but little travelled, you see in front
t eif you a large dlvellin" ' of somewhat antique `cum
and appearance, witha small but neat yard, in
front of it, a large " Buckeye - tree near the gate,
and fence of granite posts. The aged Patriot sat
in his chamber near a window, engaged in , refijiing,
unconscious of our approach. flue sm.„
into the parlor, . and having tenderea seat,
went to give information of our arrival. The ob.
ject of my visit soon appeared, and I once more
bad the pleasure of pressing the hand of the most
venerable statesman and the purest patriot of which
the world can boast. I have seen him in the coun•
oils of the nation, when assailed by vituperation
and calumny, when the waves of detraction rolled'
and dashed in Wild confusion around him, standing
unmoved amid the rage and strife which caused
others to turn pale and sink trembling into their ,
seats. I have seen him melt his malevolent foes
to tears by the magic power of his eloquence. I
have listened to his terrible imective.striking ter
ror
and dismay to the hearts of those who had as
sailed him. Again, I have seen his venerable form',
prostrate and feeble upon What tie regarded at the '
time as his death bed, when he was only able to
express his undying attachment to our institutions
and form of government, in low and gentle whis
pers. But neVer did I gaze upon his venerable
countenance lighted up by a smile of intelligence,
with such feelings of awe as on the present occa
sion. His health has greatly improved since the
adjournment of Congress. He appears now in as
good health us be did two years since. But his
voice has grown feeble, and he assured me that his
whole physical powers hail failed. •He converses
freely, appears cheerful as ever, and talks of the
present state of our country and government with
unusual interest.
He thinks that our Government will patch up a
peace with Mexico at no distant day. He is also
of opinion that Gen. Scott will form a Government
there and then pretend to treat with it, and to form
a peace in that way. I think his confidence in the
perpetuity of our Government is much shaken
He regards us as tending toward a "military des
potism." The attempt to make Gen. Taylor Pres
ident upon the popularity which he has g ained in
a few battles, he regards as ominous of te down
fall of our -institutions. He apprehends that we
shall follow in the footsteps of those Republics that
have gone before us. The usurpations of Mr. Polk
in sending an army into Mexico, at the instigation
of his own will, the extension of the slave power
by the annexation of Texas, and by conquest, ap
pear to be evident to his mind that the end of our
Government draws nigh; at least tie regards them
as portending no good to the American People. '
I hinted to him the great satisfaction which the
people of the United States (including all parties)
would derive from a perusal of his views if he
were able to address his constituents at this period
of political confusion and pofligacy. He said he
should be greatly pleased, standing as he now does
upon the verge of life, to speak a few parting words
to those whose interests he has so long maintained;
but declared himself physically disqualifieed. My
brief hour soon passed, the evening train of cars
was expected, and I was compelled to tear myself
away from the enchantment of his conversation.
As I then for the last time (as I then supposed)
pressed his feeble hand, trembling and palsied with
age, and took a last look at the countenance upon
which I had so often gazed with delight, my erne.
tins were such as I cannot easily-express. The
life and character of Mr. Adams are not yet appre
ciated by the American people. The historian and
biographer, when past prejudices and feelings shall
be forgotten, will do him justice, and the people
will then cherish his memory with an undying
love."
Lire President Dallas:—This gentleman has
been spending the past week at Winchester, on a
visit to his friends, Senator Mason and Judge
Tucker. The Charleston Free Press says: "We
are gratified to hear, that the people of the town,
without distinction of party, called upon Mr. Dal.
las, and paid him the respectful courtesy due to
his station, as the second officer of the government,
and as a gentleman of estimable qualities in pH

LOCAL!' ATTERS. -
Tax Houns.—A movement in favor of the Ten
Hour system is again talked of, in our city,,. We
do hope a vigorous effort :may be made to secure
some legislative action on the subject next winter.
We will not vouch for, any good that will follow
the passage of a.Ten Hour Levy', but we wish to
see it tested, and hope that the anticipations of the
most ardent friends may be realized. It was the
boast of Douglass (the negro lecturer,) that the
operatives in Engliih factories now worked but ten
hours per day, while in the States, the same clas
ses worked twelve and fifteen. We hope this ar
gument in favor of English philanthropby may be
knocked away from him ; at least, so far as Penn
sylvania is concerned. Democratic New Hamp
shire has seta glorious example. The efficacy of
legislative interference will be tested in that State.
If such a restriction upon capitalists will result in
benefit to all classes in England, it will in NeW
Hampshire and in Pennsylvania.
We believe it will only'be necessary to make a
united effort in our State, during the coming fall
and winter, in order to carry this measure through
the next Legislature. We think all the candidates
for Senate and Assembly now in nomination in this
county are favorable The representatives from
the manufacturing districts can carry such a law ,
should they be properly backed by their constitu
ents. And we are sure that public opinion in this
State leans towards this branch of labor reform.
'Whatever may be done, we trust no partial mea
surglanay be proposed. The Ten Hour system
must pervade the whole State, if it is expected to
succeed at all. If possible, it should be adopted
by every State in the Union ; but concert of ac
tion by State legislatures cannot be expected,
therefore, some few must set the example. The
others will follow soon enough, should the work
ings of the system demonstrate its expediency and
justice.
Whether the talk of renewing the efforts to bring
up the Ten Hour question and carrying it through,
be serious or not, we cannot say. We know that
many have a strong disposition to make efforts in
the cause: but former failures have discouraged
then. But former attempts have been wrong, be
cause violent. We believe the business can be
done rightly ; and if attempted again, will succeed.
Foor LIGHTS —The Telegraph is out against
'• foot lights'' in theatres and public halls. The
editor quotes from a writer wl - co recommends, in,
lieu thereof, " a central congeries of lights in the
very body of the house, and almost in the place
usually occupied by the chandelier, with a reflec
tor, sufficiently large and powerful to turn - the
whole flood of light on the stage, at about an angle of
forty-five degrees. A second congeries, however,
is requisite within the proscenium, to aid in the
proper and uninterrupted display of the scenery on
the like principle, the complete design for which
display comprehended the systematic use of scenery
so illuminated also from behind as to give the dio
! ramie etTect, as far as possible."
DAVIS ' nEcELATIONS.—Those who wish to obtain
this remarkable work, 'should speak now, as only
six copies have been ordered. They'are expected
daily. It is a great book, whether the production
of a o,li-rayon!, (as is said) or not ; it contains
such a fund of philosophies and theories as will as
tonish any reader. We tinderstand that it has been
condemned by Prof. Bush, the great disciple of
Swedenborg; but upon what account we know not.
!The Professor, it will be recollected by some,
; a year since published a work entitled " Swe
denborg and Mesmer," in which he declared his
most unqualified belief in the truthfulness of the
visions of the Poughkeepsie shoemaker. We look
with interest to the published opinions of Prof. B.
in reference to the late work from Daiis.
Asti STILL EH.—The K.:soars give ano
ther grand Concert this evening in the atheneum.
The lovers of music should not let this opportuni-
slip, for it may be that Herr and 11ad. Knoop
will never appear again before a Pittsburgh andi-
GM
a• The Chronicle says that the six "local edi
tors" were around a thousand cholera shells, the
other day. in company with some physicians.
There is an unusual degree of sickness in our city,
at the present time; the physicians are kept busy,
but the "six" can find nothing sufficiently melon
choty-to report.
SEx-r up —Officers Robb and Bougher started
for Uniontown yes'erday morning with the boys
who were committed by the Mayor, a few days
ago, on the-charge of stealing a watch froma man
in Brownsville. They will be tried at the next Ses.
sion of the Court of Quarter Seessions of Fayete
county.
Ft nr.mr.y.—At thelast meeting of the Firemen's
Association, the following resolutions were adopted ;
Resolved, That Wm. S. Edgar, E. S. Neal, and
R. Gregg, be appointed a committee to solicit do
nations from the different Insurance offices, in aid
of the Fire Department, of this city.
Resolved, That our Annual Parade shall take
place on the second Saturday of September next
Resolved, That the Chief Engineer be requested
to give our brother Firemen of Allegheny and Bir.

which we have been favored by Berfont Sr. Co., the

Soss or TEMPERANCE.—The Grand Division of
Pennsylvania meet in this city today. They ex
pect a fine time of it.
Corsa. or DEATU.—This splendid Painting is
still visited by crowds of people.
The children from some of the public schools
visited the Painting yesterday. We saw a proces•
sion of the toddlers on Wood street.
The American says that the, proceeds of one
evening, will be devoted to the benefit of the fami
ly of Lieut. Parker.
CIIINESZ JUNK.—Can not our friend Dana, o
the Tribune, induce his celestial friends to send tha
Junk over the mountains. The people of the wes
will foot the bill.
There was a meeting in the Diamond las
evening, at which Mr. Barker made a speech.
They say he let loose at the Germans.
try• The case noticed yesterday, of the proceed•
ings commenced against Capt. Roberts and Mr.
Mankey, of the Night Police, for arresting Mrs.
King, of the sth ward, is exciting considerable in
terest. A petition to Councils,
praying for .the
removal of those officers, has been numerously
signed by citizens in thio neighborhood '; and we
are told that the case will be prosecuted vigilantly

a short time before, lost one of my children by
that dreadful compyfit, and having another, and
my only child, sufrering the greatest agony with
the same disease, and in hourly expectation of its
death, I was induced to purchase a bottle of it,and
commenced using it according to the directions—
and to the surprise of all it began to mend in fif
