. Pittiburgh.—ller duty.—The West.
The time is approaching,when our citizens must
ark if they desire to obtain a Railroad comma
s- mcation with the West. Much talking won't do
_much longer. 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/

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-

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."
Negro Suffrage.—Both branches of the Connect
tient Legislature, have approved finally of an a•
mendment to their constitution extending the right
of suffrage to the blacks. The people have yet
to vote OD the question,.

Orlgln or the Itteretkines Hymn.
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

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

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.

Oh. 301 p. A. „M. 5
The southern mail has arrived at Richmond; but
brings no later intelligence from the Army. 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.

“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.

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

.4ccialeni to the Steamer Conant—We learned last
night that the steamer Consul. (one of the Browns.

a snag, which knocked a hole in her hull. She
immediately filled, and sunk in water over her
boiler deck. We learned norther particulars.—

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.

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.

that the operator was some impostor.
