no difficulty in knowing the position he occupies.
A newspaper Editor who advocates whig prin

tend against his political heresies, wt cannot avoid
giving him credit fOr sincerity_ at least. But the
Independent," or more properly speaking Pirati
cal 'press of the country, we despise from the hot
tom of our heart. Although the *most of these
papers affect honesty and independence, we hate
.discovered that they take sides with the Federalists,
and against the Democrats, on almost every im
portant measure. All their energies and talents
. are employed in advocating the same doctrines and
Measures-Which occupy the thoughts of the avow
ed federal whiga. They never originate an idea
or an opinion—the sentiments they put forth are
.nothing but federalism under a new disguise
-
vamped up in another form, to appear, if possible,
' less:objectionable to the great mass of readers ; but
those sentiments are, in reality, more dangerous,
• - bec l ause of the falsehood and hypocrisy that are
dins encircled around them.
There has sgreely been a measure before the
coUntry fqr the lastlive years, but we have found
the!" independent" press taking the federal side in
the discussion. Frequently, however, this press
has the "independence" to remain neutral, or silent,
on many questions of magnitude, fearing that an
honest expression of opinion might seriously of
feet its standing with its federal supporters.
When.a ilemocratic - Vongress repealed the um
eqO4, obnoxious and oppressive Tariff of lS42—
ts Tariff which protected the wealthy and favored I
and abstracted the hard earned money from
the pockets of the laboring man to support those
wealthy nabobs, the .• independent," or piralicat
press of the country, Went as far as the most rabid
and ultra federalists could gn, in denouncing the
act, as one fraught with ruin to the manufacturing.
interests of the country. The new revenue law,
although framed expressly to meet the demands
of the country—protecting no class or interest at
the expense of another—extending favors equally
to ; all—was assailed by the piratical crew with
all their malevolent ferocity. The lion. Gauen a
M. Daitaii Presiding Wirer of • the Senate, for
*casting his rote on the side his conscience told
him was right, was stigmatised as a "traitot" by
these inmalculate presses; and all the vile denun
ciations conceivable were heaped upon his devoted
head. In fact, the federal presses were far out.
dope by the freebooters, in the works or Vitupe•
-ration !
Again,when a Federal Senate expelled the ver.-
erable Editor of the Washington Union, from his
privileged beat in that body, for daring to publish
its;his pitier a comnanai•cation which expressed, at
the time, the honestly entertained opinions of a
large mass of the American people,_the “indepen
dent" papers—or at least a large portion of them—
toOk sides with the federalite, in . their onslaught
against the "liberty of the press." One of these
hybrid concerns, not an hundred mites from
this city, fir outstripped the most zealouS kderal
sheets in its violent abuse of u father RITCILIE."
Ever since the country became involved in a
war wi h 3lexico—a war that is every way just
and necessary—the piratical press has joined hands
with the federalists, in taking part with the plan•
Bering Mexicans—the invaders of our soil, and the
murderers of our citizens. It isenougb to make
one's blood buil with righteous indignation to see
papers professing independence" assail their gov
ernment in the most piratical and treasonable
manner. These papers have•falsely and wickedly
asserted that the war was commenced by the Ex
ecutive, for the purpose of acquiring additional
Southern territory, and in this way-extend the in
stitution of Slavery. Assertions of this kind arc
well calculated to dampen the ardor of the patrio
tic men who have left their friends, and all the en•
dearments that cluster around their homes, to bat-
Ile for the country's rights in the distant South.
The most ultra fanatic of the Corwin and Greeley
stamp, never put forth an assertion more flagrantly
false than the above.
: The great.mass of"the Democratic party have
labored zealously to bring about the adoption of
the Ten Hour System throughout the country.
,They have contended that it is unjust and oppres- !
sive, for the operatives of manufacturing es.tablish
ments to perform from fourteen to sixteen hours of
_ labor each day, thereby injuring their health and
_depriving them of hours of social and intellectual
enjoyment. This course on the part of the Dem
obratie press, has met with opposition from mo
nopolists only—men- who worship the Almighty
Dollar more than the Good Being who said— , Op
press not the weak;" "Do unto others as ye would
'others should 'do unto you." But where do we
find the self-styled " independent " press? On the
_side of Right against Wrong? No—far from it.
These piratica/ concerns have not the independence
to speak out in behalf of a just measure, lest
they should lose the confidence and patronage of
their Federal supporters. On the contrary, they
- pursue that very course, which is best calculated
to discourage those who only ask what humanity
.whould not hesitate to grant.

sH UNK,
Presses such as we have described, should receive
no encouragement or countenance from the honest
Democracy of the country—they are deadly ene
mies to all those sacred principles, for which our
party has contended since the organization of onr
National Government. In every respeCt they are
less entitled to confidence than the avowed Federal
Whig papers—the latter always show their (rue
colors, while the former sail under the black pirati.

We have seen an article in some of the papers,
which states that a lady (who saw a little boy
thrown from a vehicle, which was almost destroy
ed, from the horse attached to it having been
frightened and running away,) fainted at the sight'
All sujiposed that she was the mother of the boy,
or at least a near relative; but in answer to their
inquiries she said—. No, he is not my_son ; but he
is somebody's son! How beautiful an illustra
tion of genuine kindness, of human sympathy, is
here presented; and how much like the expression
of true hearted, generous woman in general was
that reply! What a tremendous load of human
suffering might be removed" if our race, in general,
were prompted by the feelings which gave rise to
that answer.
Do you see a fellow mortal pursuing a course
in life, which will certainly lead to injury, to want.
or perhaps to disgrace and ruin—what should be
the sentiment of the soul, what course should be
pursued, in order to avert the impending evil?
kle is somebody's son.!" Perhaps he has
wandered far from the haunts of his youth ;
there are none about him, or near him, whose voice
-cheered, and whose smile encouraged his youthful
hopes; or whose kindness restrained the too easily
excited disposition to err ;—no delightful scene of
happy childishness, to call back his soul to the
memory of hours when he was innocent. Per
haps a father's voice cannot now be heard, to give
the word of admonition ; no mother to entreat her
child to walk not in the way of sin ;—once a gen
tle sister may have led him unwittingly along the
path of virtue; or a bru:ber shared with him those
joys, which both might share without regret;-

him.; none to

destined for immortality with ourselves; prompted,
perhaps, by the same desires; subject, it may be ,
to impulses. very nearly like our own ; if we but
soughtto find ou t the hidden springs of action in
that soul.
Reader—it may never hale been your lot to,
know the cares, or bear the sorrows of the strati
ger. if so, you can scarcely know how to touch
those chords in his soul, which will instantly vi

may never have known the one., or felt the other.

him the law of love. And is not thy fellow man
—esteemed the noblest work of his Maker—to be

I New Movement.
A large number of the citizens of Charleston, S
C., without ireghrd to party, have addressed a cir
cular to all the principal Slaveholders in the south,
for thC purpose of raising money to commence
the publication of a new paper in the city of
Washington, to advocate the views of Southern
men in relation to Slavery. After referring, at cot -
siderohle length, to the rapid progress of the Anti-
Slavery spirit at the North, the signers of the tit--
cular goon to say:
The Abolitionists have throughout the non-slave
holding States presses :zealously, ably, and efficient-'
ly, enforcing their views, and prenting thrir par.

We hare, in the South, papers of both parties
worthy of ail confidence, but these are but little

general circulation, even in the Southern States,
and we have nut one paper in a non-slas elrolding
State, and none fn the city of Washington, u bleb,

The of of this communication is to obtain
your aid arid active co-operation, in establishing,
at Washington, a paper which shall represent

! ern views of Southern rights and interests,growing
out of and connected with this institution.
We want a paper Abuse polar star shall be the
sentiment, uthatdanger to our institutions can only
be averted by jealously watching our rights under
the Constitution; by ilirdsting upon the proportion
ate influence intended to be secured to us by the
compromises of that compact; and above all by
maintaining, at all times, and at all haz7rls, our
equality, full and complete, with whatever other
communities we hold connection." We wish a
paper which we can trust, firm and fearless, which
cannot be bribed, cajoled flattered, or f i4literied,
into furling, for an instant, the Banner . of Southern
Equality. ,
To effect this we mast render the press free from
party influences, and unite in its support others
besides politicians. We would therefore desire to
engage in the undertaking men in every way indo
pendent, and whose means and positions are such
as free them from all temptations of profit or
place.
If you concur in our view* please confet with
us, as soon as practicable: and ink.rin us what a
mount' in money you are willing, yourself, to con
tribute to effect this object, and how much you
think can be raised in your immediate neighbor
hood.
Enclosed you Will find a subscription, with a
heading, setting forth the principles on which it is
proposed to e, ! toblish the paper. If you approve
of it, please obtain such signatures arid return the
list, by mail, to this place, by the 15th of Sep

Death of the Ron. Silas Wright.
, • -
We briefly announced the death - . of the Hon.
SILAS WitionT, in our telegraphic despatch of yes
terday morning. The intelligence of the death of
this great states man, will produce a heartfelt sen
nation throughout the country. He was a gentle
man of extraordinary intellectual faculties; and
in consequence of his exalted virtues, Unsullied
honesty, and ardent devotion to 'principle, he se
cured for himself the proud appellation of the
"American Cato." Throughout , life he has been
the bosom-friend of Mr. VAN BunEN, and their
very existence appeared to have been blended to=
ether. Both were sons of poor parents, but by
untiring industry, close study, and indomitable
perseverance, they reached the most
_exalted sta
tions in the gift of the freemen of this great Re
public.
Mr. WRIGHT was for many years a Senator in
Congress from the state of New York, and while
in that body, he acquired the character of a ready
and powerful debater—always courteous and elo
quent, but firm and uncompromising. As a logi
cian, he had few equals, and no superiors. While
Governor of the Empire State, his administration
was marked by honesty, economy, and fidelity.—
He made it his study to see that the laws were
faithfully executed. In 154.1.1 he Democratic Na
tional Convention, at Baltimore, tentered Mr.
Wasoirr a nomination for Presidency, but he in
stantly declined the the distinguished honor, pre
fernnigthebretiracy of private life ,to a seat in the
Presidential mansion.
Although Mr. WUIGUT has gone to his lung

men of America, whose lives have been devoted to

rJ The Whig party and papers in Ohio, with
but a eery few exceptions, are opposed, to the Tay

broken down politicians, who are bankrupts in for

Lean or Comin for their candidate. Here is what

papers in that state, says in relation to General Tay

To :Henri Bikewell; Avery, M'Candless, Shoen

Commissioners Penn'a Rail Road.
Gentlemen.—The Directors of the Pennsylvania
Rail Road Company feel sensible of the service
you have rendered in superintending the subsciip
tion to the stock of ;he Company, a few weeks
since, and no doubt that the interest you take 4n
forwarding this important work, will induce you,
when another occasion offers, to undertake the
same task, and, I hope, with a success cornmensu
rate with your own wishes.
In watching the progress of events, it is evident
that the time approaches when a more hearty co-
operation on the part of your citizens and public
institutions, may be expected, and that we may
look with confidence to such a subscription as will
enable the Directors to prosecute this great work
with redoubled energy.
That you may fully appreciate our position and
your own, in relation to the Pennsylvania Rail
Road, it is proper to present to you, in a few words
the policy which governs the Board in conducting
1 the work, in order that you may understand how
important it is to the interest of both cities that a
strong effort should be made by our Western fel
low citizens in its behalf.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company
having resolved to make the terminus of their Road
at Wheeling, the Charter of the Connellsville Rail
Road Company is now of no avail as a means of
junction with.that road, and the citizens of Pitts
burgh must look to a connection with Philadelphia
as the only direct outlet for their growing trade,
to the Atlantic.
To insure the passage of the trade of the Ohio
Rail Roads through Pittsburgh, i.istead or throngh
' Wheeling, to Baltimore, they must also look to
an early junction by Rail Road, between their city
and the State line of Ohio, to join with any road
rthat may be made through the State of Ohio, to
meet them at that point.
Many eminent and influential citizens of Pitts
burgh held the opinion that the energies and means
of that city should be directed, now, to this junc
tion, leasing the city of Philadelphia, to complete
the road they have commenced to Pittsburgh, and
that to effect this object, the su')scriptions to•the
Connellsville Company ought, under the Supple.
went to that Chatter, to be at once applied to that
object.
As in the discussions which are likely to ensue
this view will be taken by gentlemen whose opin
ions are entitled to great respect, it is proper that
1 should endeavor to show that the true policy of
Pittsburgh dictates a movement which will bring
hope to her doors, ut a much earlier period than
can be affected by such a course.
The public works of Pennsylvania are avowed•
ly incompetent to carry forward all the trade that
the %Jest is able to pour into Pittsburgh even with
the present channels of communication. Until
theielore another avenue is open to the Allan tic, a
railroad slung the Banks of the Ohio would not
be available and consequently any expenditure
upon such a road would at this time be premature.
The citizens of Ohio, ss here a spirit of public im•
provernent prevails to an unprecedented extent,
are looking with intense intereet upon the opertions
of the two mill companies who are about opening
a‘enues of [aide for their products to the Atlantic
markets.
The effects of that State ha% heretofore been
confined to the approaches to the Lake, because
the New lurk improiements offered the greatest
facilities for reaching a market. But now, in view
of a Pennsylvania Improiement, a road is project•i
ed, and will certainly be made, traversing the,
great belt of table lands in an East arid West di•
rection, fertile to the last degree, and burtheneil;
with cereal products. This road tends towards
Pittsburgh,'and will, without doubt, reach that I
point, when the connection is complete, and can
go to no other with tacility.
The load ItUm ClLlClllhati North is now branch- I
ing in an Ealteily direction, aud will soon be un-
der course of comitruction to Newark,
From that point IN propetors will watch with
interest to ascertain its 'speediest connection with
the seaboard, arid whether the Baltimore road or
the Perni..ylvadia road gives the surest indications
of rapid completion thither will that road tend,
. arid hence , I,e ru.itiie to all Pennsylvania to exert
their utmo s t energigi to complete their road in
' the shortest possible t*ne.
Let us now look for a ruonseut to see bow this
is to be effected.
The Peonsyll,ania Rfit Rail to iy' be divided into
three important sections.
Ist., Fiurn Harrisburg to the Allegheny Moun
tains.
,d. 'rhe road Frosting the :lotintains.
3d. From the base of the :Mountains to Pitts
ME
For the first division the Company are now in
possession in entitle fonds, by the liberal sub..crip.
lion of the city of Philadelphia, and her citizens.'
It has, however, no mote limits at command than
are necessiry for that obj•c . ,—at d hence with but
a small exception, (the Westein fifteen miles) is
obliged to confine its effltrts to that object, in order
to bring the road into a condition to remunerate
the Stockholders at the earliest possible period.
This division is now being pressed with vigor,—
inure than halt of the distance will he under con.
:ract for canstruction this year, and the remainder
catty next summer.
It is the intention, when this division is com
pleted, to connect it for a time w ith the State,tor.
tage road, in miler that a continuous line may be
available to the Western base of the Mountains,
until the Western division is made, and time al
lowed to make a permanent location across the
Allegheny without as inclined plane, the practice.
batty of which is fully ascertained.
As the second div ision by the temporary aid of
the Portage Rail Road, may be postponed to the
last, the efforts of the Company will, upon the
completion of the first, be duetted to the third or
Western division, being sure that confidence in
the road, when made to that point, will furnish
funds requisite to its completion to Pittsburgh.
The nature of the country through which a
part of the Western division of the road passes,
is adverse to such Ul/ improvement, and time mast
&afire before its asperities can be reduced About
twenty live miles of the country between the Mo.
nongancla and the Conemaugh presents obstacles
which must be overcome by deep cutting and ton
t nets, necessarily slow° in construction. This di.
vision, though shorter by sonic )illy miles, w ill
requite quite as much time in construction as the
1 eastern section, which presents more favorable
circumstances.
If therefore we are compelled to postpone the
commencement of the western diiision until the
eastern is finished the %%hole work will require
double the time that it would if both divisions
were put under construction at the same period.—
Out if the means are provided to commence the
western division as soon as the surveys are com
plete, the two sections can be made simultaneonsly,
and a railroad connection be made between the
two cities at least two years sooner than if the
policy is pursued which present circumstances
dictate.
The question, therefore, for your citizens to de
cide is will they expedite by their subscriptions
tbe,opening of a continuous railroad between their
.Own market, and the Atlantic, or sill they bestow
'their energies upon a road which cannot he made
- available to any useful extent for the irext five or
six years.
1 look with confidence to the response. The
Pennsylvania road must be pressed with vigor.
To effect this great object-and enable the direc
tors to press forward both divisions of the road at
the same time, a million of dollars is wanted from
the 'Western counties. That million under the
provisions of the ordinance will draw another mil
lion from the treasuly of the city of Philadel
phia—and these two millions shull be exclusive
ly devoted to the western division, which will be
urged as fast as the nature of the country will
admit.
You ask, if our funds are devo!ei to the Central
Railroad, how shall the connecting link be made
between Pittsburgh and the Ohio state line? The
answer is plain. The Pennsylvania Railroad
have adopted a determinate . policy to issue no
bonds. This company will complete their road,
unshackelled by debt and when complete it is corn•
petent to any enterprise, tending to increase its
usefulness or profit, and it will guarantee the funds
that may be required for that purpose, so soon as
its own position and the condition of the Ohio roads
shall make such a coffnecting link advisable.)
'rhe Pennsylvania Railroad company will stand
=Mil
pledged to furnish to pin the !lands for the river
road, so soon as the occasion warrants its son.
struction.' Now, we want your hearty, energetic
assistance, to place the Pennsylvania road in such
a position which shall ensure the tendency of the
Ohio Central road to such a point as it can thro'
your city connect with it, and pledge ourselves to
consurnmate that connection. Vey respectftilly,
J. V. MERRICK,
President Pennsylvania Railroad Co.

L.LiteILNT •]D ABDUCTION —A man named
Nelson Davis, from Detroit, Michigan; on Sunday,
made information before Mayor Adams, against
W. H. Taylor, a vender of patent vices, for the
larceny of a trunk' and carpet bag, at Detroit.. It
appears from Davis' statement, that while he was
on business at Milwaukie, Taylor prevailed upon
his wile to elope with him; and they took with
them the articles described in the information.
He followed them to Cleveland, and there found
that they had left for Pittsburgh. He came on,
and discovered them. Watchman Findley arrested
Taylor at Bell's tavern, on Saturday morning. He
was held to bail for his appearance on Blonday
morning. He appeared, and after examination,
was committed to jail to await the requisition of
the Governor of Michigan.
We have only given one side of this story. We
understand that there is another version of the
transaction, which considerably relieves it of the
criminal aspect which it bears. •
MONEY STOLEN FROM A STEAMIIOA.T.-A Tele
graphic Despatch was yesterday received at the .

hold, was suspected, who left immediately on the
Rio Grande. lie was arrested at Wheeling, and
examined; but so evidence of guilt could be dis
covered. None of the money was found about
him. l'he Independents arrested him yesterday
morning; but he was soon discharged. The opin
ion here is that he is innocent.
