Newspapers may awaken the pub lie mind to the importance of any great measure _ of public policy; they may point out the steps to pursu,e to attain the end sought after; but unless the people act, in earnest, and with unanimity, ap preciating the benefits to result from their effort, and vigorously applying the means to accomplish that result, it were far better that the press had! --beeriiilent on the subject. We, that is the citi zens.of Pittsburgh, have been talking in our pe culiarly characteristic manner ; of a Railroad, to between this place and Massillon, on the Ohio canal,—a part of the contemplated line of •, land communication with St. Louis; we have lis tened with apparant earnestness to divers delegates from ,towns in Ohio, who, from time to time, have assured us that they were ready and willing tol co-operate with us; we have exhausted a consid erable amount of windy eloquence, looked inter., - .ststed; and boasted of what a mighty big city 'Pittiblrfigh must be in a short time:—all this we Jaye done, and although time and opportunity are ,passing swiftly away; there seems to be no more real concern on the subject, than is manifested for those ephemeral amusements that editors puff and the people pay for! Why is this? Do our citi• -. -:zerts expect that Hercules will lift their wagon; -out of every rut, because it is such a nice, strong. •:.,:well•rnatle wagon; and that they have nothing to do but to look big, and split the air with their whip cracking? Do they calculate on Philadel , . phis. capital and Ohio enterprise doing every thing? We warn them against such delusive fancies! We , tell them that unless the/ art, now, at the present time—with that concern, intelligence and prompt itude, which the important interests of this great community demand, they may find that ,impercep tibly, the shadow will pass round on the dial to the hour when it will ')e top lair to act. An at tentive observer must see, that there are many in terests awakened, to diverge to other channels the .trade and travel which, from our geographical po sition, and natural advantages, we think should be exclusively ours. The recent acts of the !Lift • .-more and Ohio Railroad Company; should teach us, that even our natural superiority to other pla ces, may be held in light esteem by men govern ed• solely by personal considerations, or influenced I:iyisinisterimotives. The race is not always to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong. The tor toise arrived at the goal before the hare. The locks of Samson were shorn while be slept. Nature r . has been prodigal of her gifts upon Pittsburgh.— Tire have every element of greatness lavished a , -round us. Our hills and mountains are full of mineral wealth. The air we breathe is highly salt/ 4 „:41 - ionsi the scenery which encompasses us is en chantingly beautiful. At the head of the Ohio, we : :_-7,:i ; „*eiMitiand the mighty Mississippi valley. New L :•.:-..-)ktrit. pays tribute by the liver Allegheny; and is unhicking her wealth to us by the Monongahela. But on these natural gifts,too high an estimation may be placed, and too great a de ", • pendence reposed; for, in every contest for the mas tery, where Art exerts her energies, nature is o. vercome. Now, let us improve the talent that is. entrusted to us; let us, by intelligent and timely action, employ the resouroes of Art to assist na ture; and our destiny, as a commercial and 111111t1 facturing city, will be a glorious one. What is our duty, then? In our bumble opinion it is best to begin 111 good earnest a Western Railroad—to bind our fortunes with bands otiron to the mighty West. Let a convention be calle<to meet in this city some time in October; and let a correspond ing committee be chosen to invite delegates from ajj the towns west of us, who are interested in the subject, to bepresencon the occasion. The Board of Trade might take the matter in hand. It has •• only to be Started by some one, to succeed. We patticularly commend the matter to the attention 'of - Mr.Bakewell, the President of that institution. - Recently We have conversed with intelligent gen tlemen -from Ohio, who were chagrined at the lukewarmness of Pittsburgh on a subject so vital lyintereSting to its prosperity; and the idea of a convention, which.we suggested, seemed to meet . their approval, and we were desired to lay the suggestion before the public. The citizens of eastern Ohio will obtain the necessary Legislative grants during the coming session, provided Alfred • Kelly and the enemies of Pittsburgh do not thwart them; and they will do their share towards meet- MIN " 1. 1 BEZEINEI El MAMIIIi lEEE SZIO 6:..: ?:;' is MEI Mil FR EMI EIMI =NI INIEI OE ME =II EN ME -;:, .

Tar SMITIISOiSIAN INSTITUTE.—The Statement wfiich excited much just indignation, that the ma- (o`.S.r.kierox, Dem., Memphis district, Tennes see,:is elected by 27 majority, wpich makes the delegation stand six Democrats to five Whigs in Congress. So says the'Memphis Monitor. MIN Errois . Oflo-Partyism. The lialtimore:Siin, in iiiiefforts to prove that the "'independents' 'alone posseis the capacity to tell the truth, says: "We contend that it is conclu sive- 'against the'capacity7- and the policy of the _nartisas . writer to speak fairly, frankly and fear lessly upon political subjects at all. Instead of enjoying by virtue of his position, an exclusive claim to eminent consideration in the discussion of political affairs, he is, on the cuntrary,a crea ture known and understood as the simple advo cate of certain specified modes and aspects in which, under party dictation, this or that princi ple is to be viewed." These gentlemen would seem to be impressed with the belief that " Truth lies in a well ; " that this well is a very deep one; and that they are the only person capable of diving to the bottom of it, awl securing the treasure. We are compelled to differ with them, in this conclusion, as we do in their assumptions upon many other points. If there had never been an assertion of political opinions, on the one part, and opposition to those opinions on the other hand, in our country; if it could be established, that one set of political doe trines had not been approved,and another condemn. ed ; if it were manifest, that the condemnation of any doctrines, destroyed in the minds of men, all traces of belief in their truth ; then might it indeed be true, that the partisan writer could not speak fairly and frankly;—there would then truly be no party; and consequently no ground upon which to base a partisan argument. But we think it is as suming rather more than justice to our fellow-men will sanction, when the assertion is made that, be. cause men differ in their ideas upon any subject whatever, they are therefore incapacitated 'from speaking fairly and frankly upon, the merits of op posing systems. To assert this, is virtually deny ing to men the most ordinary powers of discrimi.. nation. In our country, the editor of a political paper should unquestionably occupy the ground of an advocate' for those measures which, in his honest judgment, are calculated to favor the establishment of the fundamental truths which he believes lie at the bottom of our political institutions. It does not always follow, that a measure which may be proposed,•is fully calculated to accomplish the ob ject at which he aims; but so long as its effects are unknown, unascertained, he is, if honest, seek ing after truth; and is entitled to all the credit, and all the consideration, which honesty Of purpose in a good cause, necessarily receives ;—he is entitled to the confidence of his fellow-citizens who are 1 aiming at the same great end, and he is sure to re ceive proof of their confidence. On the other hand, what is the natural position of the hybrid Ile dues not recognise any fixed principles—he cannot believe that there is ought of truth. This must be so, if he is an intelligent and well informed man. lie must believe that, in the great and important matter of politica, all is chaos ; or, that considerations which have been deem ed of moment, by the greatest minds in the world, are trivial and insignificatit. Ile must believe that there are, or at least should be, no settled princi pies,of government : and aim to embark his fellow men upon an ocean of uncertainly, subject to the winds and storms incident to it. And is this a desirable condition? We think that men in general lain taut thus aliirnr. Is it a condition in which any sane man will place him self? The position in which we find the mass of our fellow countrymen; clearly shows that they are not willing to embark on such a sea. The very ' nature of our institutions, calls upon every man undet our government, to take a part in its admin istration. That government was the result of a political triumph. The principles tvbich were en •rafted upon it, are subject to the same influences which affect all sublunary things. In the minds of an enlightened, and active, enquiring and ener- I getic people, those principles must live. Their antipodes will live too,—in the minds of the un generous, the tyrannical, and the indolent; those who would forge chains for the necks of the mases, in order that they may live in Itaxary and at ease. While we recognise these principles as still alive and . waring, for the mastery, we violate our duty to mankind, if we fail to give them warning, when we conceive there is danger ahead. But ev en in such a warning there may be error. What then ? Because the fallible judgment of man has determined inaccurately, shall we conclude that danger cannot ever exist ? This surely would not be wise. No, while the minds of our people are kept alive to the: fact, that these warring ele ments do exist; and while they are taught to look with caution into the probable consequences of every political measure, we may confidently calcu late that the pinny of our republican institutions will be preserved. The great Apostle of American liberty affirmed, that ':Democracy lives in the midst of excite ment;"—that wholesome, and desirable excite ment, which is al Nays an evidence of mental pow er. No means are so indispensable to preserve this excitement, as the existence of the party press —:hat press which enters the arena, prepared to charge home upon its opponents all the errors which are believed to lie in !heir scheme of gov ernment; while they, happily, can meet their an tagonists before the great audience of the country, who are the judges; and who will award the crown of victory according to their ideas of the merits of the case. Missouri Polities The Democratic Committee of Correspondence of Missouri, have recently put forth an Address to their fellow citizens, which is at once able, brief, and comprehensive; from which we make an ex tract. Referring to the measures of the Federal party, they say— "Give this party power and the frauds of paper money will again convulse the land. Place them in authority, and they will be found proleding, the manufacturer and capitalist by a tariff unequal, unjust and oppressive to the poor, making distinc tions between classes of industry, anti Cliartering exclusive privileges. In the speedy repeal of the law creating the Independent Treasury system, they would unsettle the constitutional currency, expel from circulation the precious metals, and force the Government (which under the operation of this system, and in the midst of war, has man aged its fiscal of with ease and safety,) to be come a suppliant for loans to irresponsible and un• principled banking institutions. "To preserve our rights and retain the power now administered by flue Democratic party, is ne cessary that we should promptly prepare for the coming elections. Experience has shown us that by means of a National Convention, our party can in the most efficient manner select its candidates for President and Vice President. Throughout the vast extent of our Union there will necessarily be I conflicts as to the choice of men—sectional feel- ings and local preferences. These divisions ofl sentiment will be reconciled by the deliberations of! a National Convention, and in the place of dissen tion, a harmony of feeling and a concert of action succeeds—at once the presage and means of vic•l tory."

The Merselllaise preserves notes of the song of glory and the arriek of dtetlit glbrions as the one, funeral like the - other; it assures the country, while inakes.the citizen turn palest. This is. its his tory : : There was - then a. young officer lof artillery in Strasburg,. named Rouget de Ilisfei , He was born at Monsle•Sannir, in tbe Juke, that country of reverie and energy, as mountain countries always are. This young man loved war like a soldier-- the Revolution like a thinker. He charmed with his verses and music the slow doll garrison life. Much in request from his two-fold talent as mu . - skim] and poet, he ,visited the house of Dietrick, an Alsatian patriot (moire of Strasbourg) on inti mate terms. Dietrick's wife and young daughters, shared in his patriotic feeling, for the Revolution was advancing towards the frontiers, just as the af fections of the body always commence at the extremeties. They were very partial to the young officer, and inspired his heart, his poetry and his music. They execute the first of his ideas hardly developed, confidants of the earliest flights of his BEM It was the winter of 1795, and there was a scare ity in Strasburg. The house of Dietfick was poor and the table humble; but there was always a wet. come for Rouge( de Lisle. This young man was there from morning to night, like the son or broth er of the family. One day, when there was only some coarse bread and slices of ham on the,table, Dietrick, looking with calm sadness at De Lisle, said to him--" Plenty is not seen at our feasts, but what matter, if enthusiasm is not wanting at our civic fetes, and courage in our soldiers' harts. I have still a bottle of wine left in my cellar.—Bring it," he added, addressing one ofhis daughters, , gand we well 'drink to liberty and our country. Stras burg is shortly to have a patriotic ceremony, and De Lisle must be inspired by these last drops, to produce one of those hymns which convey to the soul of the people the enthusiasm which suggest ed it." The young girl's appla l uded, fetched the Wine, filled thellasses of their old father and the young officer, until the wine was exhausted, It was mid night, and very cold. De Lisle was a dreamer; his heart was moved, his head heated. The cold seized on him, and he was staggering to his lonely ch am ber, endea vori ng by degrees, to fid inspiration in the palpitations of his citizen heart; and on his small clavicord. now composing the air before the words, and now the words before the air, combined them so intimately in his mind, that he could never tell which was first produced, the air or the Words, so impossible did he find it to separate the poetry from the music, and the feeling from impression. He sung everything—wrote nothing. Overcome with this divine inspiration, his head fell sleeping on his instrument, and he did not awake until dayligh , . The song of the over night returned to his memory with difficulty, like Hit , recollection of a dream. Ile wrote it down and then ran to Deitrick. He found him in the garden. His wife and daughters bad not yet risen. Dietrick arroused them, 'tailed together some friends, as! fond as himself of music, and capable of executing De Lisle's composition. Dietrick's eldest daughter accompanied them. Rouget sang. At the first verse all countenances turned pale—at the second,' tears flowed—at the last, enthusi.ism burst forth. The hymn of the country was found. Alas it I was also destined to be the hymn of terror'. The unfortunate Dietrick went a few mouths afterwards i to the scaffold, at the sound of the notes produced at his own fireside, from the heart of his friend and the voice of his daughter. The new song, execu,ted some days afterwards at Strasburgh, flew from city to city, in every public orchestra. Marseilles adopted it to be sung at the opening and the close of the sittings of the Clubs. The Alarseillaise spread it all over France, by singing it e, cry here on their way. Whence the name of ilaisciibrise. De Lisle s old mother, a royalist, and religious, alarmed at the effect of her san's %vice, wrote to him thus What is this revolutiunary hymn, sung by the bands of brigands, uho are traversing Prance, and with which our naive is mingled f'' De I.isle himself, proscribed as a royalist, heard it, and shuddered as it sounded on h s ear-, while escaping by some of the wild passes of the Alps. , What do they call that hyinn , ' he inquired of his guide. -The Marnillaise, - re gnired the pear ant. It was thus he learnt the name of his own work. The arm turned against the hand that forgot it. The Revolution, insane no longer, recognised its own voice !—Lanurefine - s History Married, C, mpired with Single I. , je —Marriage is a school an I exercise of virtue ; and though marriage bath cares, yet the single life bath desires which are more troublesome, and inure dangerom, and often eial in sin ; voile the cares are but in• stances of duty and exercises of piety ; and there fore if single late bath more privacy of devotion, , yet marriage bath more necessities and more varie ty of it, and is an exercise of more graces. Marriage is the proper scene of piety and pa tience, of the duty of parents and the charity of telations, here kindness is spread abroad, and love is united and made firm as a centre; marriage is the nursery of !leaven. The virgin sends prayers to God. but she carries but one soul to him ; but the state of marriage fills up the numbers of the elect, and bath in it the labor of love, and the deli cacies of friendship, and the blessings of society, and the union of hands anal hearts. ; It bath in it less of beauty, but more of safety, ; thou the single life; it hath more care but less !anger; it is more merry and more sad ; is fuller of sorrow . i,and hiller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful. Marriage is the mother of the world, and pre- serves kingdoms, and fills cities and churches, and !leaven itself. Celibacy, like the fly in the heart of an apple, kells in perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in pepetual singu !drily ; but mania ;e, like the useful bee, builds a house and gathers sweetness from every flower, and labors and unites into republics, and sends out colonies, and feeds the world with delicacies, keeps order, and exercises many virtues, arid promotes the interests of mankind, and is that state of good things of which God hath designed the present constitution of the world.--Btshop Taylor. - TRADE IN SEDUCTION. One of the last acts of the British Parliament was to pass a bill for punishing and so prevent• ing itt seduction and consequent prosti lotion." To such'6" pi tch has this infernal traffic ! been carried, that one hundred thousand females petitioned the Queen to draw the attention of Parliament to the subject; but it is doubted it laws can be so (rained as to prevent to any extent this I wholesale prostituton. The facilities for carrying on such a trafliic are doubtless greatly increased by the extreme poverty and ignorance of the poorer classes. The petition , says: "A system exists by which not only are undue facilties and temptations held out to the criminal, the giddy and the poor to enter on a life of infamy, degradation and ruin, but unwary young females and mere children rare entrapped and sold into the hands of profligate libertines . Agents are sent into the towns and villages of the United Kingdom, whose ostensible object is to engage young girls for domestic service, for other employments, but whose teal design is to degrade' and ruin them, Female agents are also emplo)ed, in London and many of our large to ;VIIF, to watch the public,,con• veyances and decoy the simplit and inexperienced into houses of moral pollution and crime by oilers of advice and temporary protection. By such and other means the entrapping of innocent young woman is reduced to a regular trade, the existence of which is highly discreditable to the nation." Consumption may be annihilated by the use of Dukcas's EN PECTOHA 1431 'Air. Since the introduction of this valuable medicine into the United States, the deaths by Consumption are fast lessening, and the bright smiles of health found beaming in the eyes of thousands, whose lives were reduced to a slender thread. Compare the weekly records of death in the cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and even our °Ain I City, previous to the year .18-tti; since this tithe I take into consideration the vast increase of popu lation, and you will find that Consumption has Ibeen gradually, or. in a manner conquered. It is well known to the community that there are hun dreds of valuable persons spared weekly by the timely use of Dr. Duncan's "Valuable Medicine, and so long as those afflicted commence using this remedy in season, Consumption of the Lungs will speedily decrease, until every vestige of its poison. ous fangs are eradicated from our soil.

The Delta of the 18th says that there is no abatement of the yellow fever; but, on the contrary, the dis. ease seems' o be on the increase, and of equally epidemic character; and on a more expanded sphere—it being worse in Lafayette than in New Orleans. The heat is very intense; but there is some relief afforded by the strong sea breezes.— The Picayune says that the extensive prevalence of the fever has driven from the city, all who could get away; and that business is exceedingly dull.

Rerdo /was in this style; “It so abounds in ignorance, stupidity, insane babbling., Atheism, blasphemy and denunciations of all that is good and true and great, that few will be deceived by it. The humbug is too transpa. rent.” We are indeed very sorry that our neighbor did no make the discovery ere this; we might have caked 'al/. As to being deceived, we think it likely that some may be deceived a few It is said that 900 copies were sold the first day; and thaithe very large editioa issued, has been nearly exhausted. What appeals strange to us, is the: fact, that among the thousands who have read it in the east, it was not known to abound in all sorts of bad things, till it fell into 'he hands of that' great conservator of all that is pum and holy,— the edAr of the Telegraph. We are tired of writing para2raphs in relation to deaths by drowning. Cannot some of our neighbors oblige us by hanging themselves for the sake of variety.—Piltsburgh Paper. The above is a most heartless remark ; one we are sorry to see made use of in a daily journal of pretended respectability. The accidents which ; occur to frail human nature, ought to excite the sympathy instead of _the ridicule of editors. (Cia. Corn. Give us the name of the heartless" wretch who penned the obnoxious paragraph. Pittsburgh paper is a little too indefinite.— Telegraph. (1 . 1. We do not believe the paragraph 'quoted by trie Cincinnati Commercial, ever appeared in a ''Pittsburgh paper." It is too wicked for our me ridian. tie plead not guilty.

Fos: Alden, Esq , responded to the invitation of this So• ciety, to advocate the cause of temperance in the coming contest before the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, and we take pleasure to present them with this warrant of Attorney, to appear and rep. resent this Society. E. F. PRATT, Scc. .4ccialeni to the Steamer Conant—We learned last night that the steamer Consul. (one of the Browns. ville Packets) when near Monongahela city,- on her downward trip yesterday afternoon, ran against a snag, which knocked a hole in her hull. She immediately filled, and sunk in water over her boiler deck. We learned norther particulars.— Chrouirle, co - -The long expected exhibitions of the "Oxy Hydrogen Microscope " will take place next week; the apparatus—the bon.arrival of which was the cause of the delay—having arrived. Judging from the numerous audience which at- tended his first exhibition, we are sure that Mr. Kennedy will have lull houses while he remains among us. ICE LAST EXIIIIIITION.-Dr. Colton will gii•e the last of his amusing Lectures this evening. The Court of Death will also be exhibited at the close. Those who would enjoy a rich entertainment ‘%all not fail to be present. The Magic sippers alone are worth half the admittance. crs Is it true that the genuine " grease spot man " is in town. We saw the fixings at the cor ner of Smithfield and Water streets, on Wednes day; but were at the time under the impression that the operator was some impostor. m y Miss Martha has astonished the Wheeling folks. The A rgus editor believes, and the Times man don't know what to think. Prof. Murray (lid not follow the family to Wheeling, we under- stand, for the reason that he does not consider that plaCe one of the "ends of the earth." Q 1 ".

We think a few copies of Owens " Moral Phviolog,y" might be sold by our periodical agents just now. The Gazette has advertised it tolerably well. lion' purchasers who expect to find it moral and. obscene will be disappointed, when Ihey find that it is but a promulgation of the doctrines of one of the greatest of European Political Econo- Rerc)rnd Malthus, 0:1' Have sign painters either a moral or legal right to invade the sanctuary of whom they please, what they please, and in whatever manner they plea'se. We hope to be informed on this point, for we haye an idea that we were somewhat im posed upon ye s terday. Tie Cincinnati papers announce the arri val in that city, of Mr. George loungson, late of the Dispatch. o)› A splendid lot of furniture will be sold at M'lietina's, Auction, this morning, at 10 o'clock, the balance of a Cabinet ware room, among, which are sofas, mahogany tables and chairs.
