I e xualilf,AnOrtung Post. a•aUlS'r 11 • 11 T6 1 (XAtr • i-ENTRANCL' It was on Sunday, March 28th, that we were to ' enter-the Holy Land. I had been',too much en grossed by the objects whiz!' intereste d us. at every - etep in Egypt and Arabia to think much of this be• • forehand; but when I came forth from our tent, in the dawn of that morning, there was enough of novelty in the scene around me to make me feel _that i we were about to enter upon a new country, andls.new set of interests; and I became eager to knoW at what hour we were to pass the boundary which separated the Desert from the Holy Land— the_horne of the old Faith from that of the new. We had followed the track of Moses from the spot.l where his mother placed his bulrush cradle to thatl! on,Which he died; for to the East we should this' ' - riforning see the mountains overhanging the Dead I se4, and among them the summit of Nebo, whence be looked abroad over the Land of Promise; and now we were to enter upon the country ofJesus— Fer4tin to walk in His very footsteps, and see what He saw —perhaps this very.day. I never remem• ber leeling such an interest in every wild flower, in the outlines of all the f hills, and the track of all the water courses. We had left the stony Desert behind us, and Wein' encamped in a nook of the hills where the ground was green and weeds grew thick. There was grass under my bed in the tent; and when I 'came out this morning; the dew was heavy ,on the daisies, and buttercups and flowering mallows .which grew abundantly . , on the turf: After break fast,. while the camels were loading. I walked in thelearly sunshine on a strip•of. sand overlooking thevalley, impressing on my memory every feature of the land Scape, and impatient of the rising ground '• to the north, which prevented my se:•ing where we were going. It was about ten • o'clock when we paised,the boundary. It was impossible' to tell CO We have the pleasure of [ resenting to our theleactiCt moment; but within a mile or two we reade s this m. ruing. the address of Col. M'Cal d felt! that we were, indeed, in the native land C f less to the Vice President upon his arrival in this Christ, and probably on His very track. He might city , and the beautiful, appropriate and patriotic' IniV'e.been- here.

He might have walked over ation of those who had not the pleasure of lis'ei ing theihills which swelled higher and higher as we .to' them. As for those who were present, the im adVanced, and rested beside some. of the wells pression made at the time} wed such us to shield which-yawned beside our track. At any rate, the' trees. and flowers which we saw must have been I him from the gross attacks and foul misrepresen farniliar to His. eyes; the thorny acacia which be I tations of as unscrupulous a trio of Federal editors gtiri hereto rise and spread from the stunted shrub! as ever attempted to pervert the public opinion of ni'itheTlesert-to the dimensions of a tree; the scar the country. The reply is all that his friends could liCanemone--vrith us a precious garden flower- 3.iiiich.hare strewed the ground for acres 'around; ask, manly, straight-forward, high-toned and fem. the cyclamen, which pushed forth its tufts of white l ess • andlilac blossoms from under -many a stone and bukh; and the.poppy, mallow, hemlock, and wild oats,whieh grew as thickly as in any English hedge. l did not know'before that these weeds Were as common here as with .us; and never before did the sight of them give me so much pleasure It'Sviitild have been pleasant :anywhere to meet 605e:familiar weeds so far from home; but the de light to day - was to think that He and His disciples'were as much accustomed to them as ourselves, and that a walk in the early spring was, in Idle pure country, much the same thing to them astans. But we soon come upon traces which showed thiit the expanse of pure country here 'was small in thine days, compared with what it is now. The towns must have been more thickly set here tha-t iti*ny country I ever was in. Patches and masses of!ruins showed themselves on every hand, so near each other as to indicate that the laud must have been peopled to a degree now nowhere known The first plowing we had seen for many weeks-was a Wiking sight to us; a mere scratching of the soil st 4 the foot of the hills: but close by lay a heap of building stones, the remains of a town or village. .P.tesently we saw a rude plow, with a single camel at-work, and at hand was a long foundalion wall, laid in a far distant century. On a height farther od *ere the remains-of a large ancient building. trapillars standing, marking the sight of the Aroer of , Scripture. - Then, though there were NViitet courses about every hill, wells began to e bound, substantial, deep wells, built with a rim With holes in it, to receive the covering stone; such as tell of settlement beside them. We stopped 1 early this day—partly because it was Sunday, and 1 partly because our Arab guards, who know noth.l mg of our Sunday, found a convenient place among the hills, somewhat sheltered lions the cold wind ; 'aniere a very few miles from the boundary. ;he gentlemen of the party, discovered that ss e had sa• down in the midst of what was once a large town though the place appeared like a mere stony tract like many that we had I used. In the morning early I went out to see for myself, and was uston iehed aMhe extent of the ruins which I should not have observed while merely riding by. I could trace the lines of foundation walls for half a mile; and building stones overgrown with grass, lay in Olocks for a considerable distance round. The Many caverns in the limestone rocks, now used as beds for the goats, were found to be the vaults 01 large buildings now gone to ruin. in a few min ate& we traced three temples, or other such build ings by their overthrown pillars. Our eyes being' now opened, we this day saw more and more re mains, till we were convinced that all the way from the boundary to Hebron the land was thick set with towns, and swarming with inhabitants in the days of its glory—the days when the Teacher went'up and down in it, ins litating the changes which must make it what I have seen it now. lb hills and streams, its skies and tlowert, are to-day What they were before His eyes; but where He saw towns on every height, and villages in every nook, there is now, hardly left one stone upon another.-- A group of black Bedouin tents on a hill side, a camel or two browsing here, and a dock of goats there, are all that telieve the utter solitude where there was then an innumerable throng of man. As we advanced on the Monday, the soil became richer, and field was joined to field, so that we be• 'in to look for the landmarks which are here used, instead of •fences, to hound field propert v. We en tired upon thickets and shrubberies, where white roses, the cyclamen, convolvolvos, and fragrant hfitbs. abounded. Soon after noon a new scene opened upon us. On our left hand lay a wii , deep basin among the hills, full of vineyards and Olive grounds, where the stones from the soil were built into fences, and in almost every plot rose a *garden. house. This was a sure sign that we were near a - town; and as we rounded the bill on our right, we came in sight of the two eminences on which-El ebron is built. Hebron is only 20 miles front . 13ethlehem,only 25 from Jerusalem; and in three days, when a large amount of yearly traveling Was a solemn religiousAuty incumbent upon every family ; it is scarcely possible but that: relatives Must have often visited each other, and that Jesus ,and his parents must have come to Hebron. The case of Machpelah is there; and the burial Placc.of Abraham and his family was a sacred lo cality,,and an object of pilgrimage to Jews of all ,ages. As we inquired for it, and walked round the ificlos t ure which the Mohammedans now permit no Christian to enter, I could not but think who might Have been before us in the same quest.

SVCANDI4ESS'S ADDRESS MA. DALLAS.-4 bid you welcome to this city.! I do so, Sir, in the name of the people, the masses,l the Democracy, composing that party, to which it is your pleasure and mine to belong. Intimately conversant with the trade, resources, • and history of your native State, if I mistake not, this is the first time, for a quarter of a century. that you have touched her Western borders. We are glad that you have come, for upon this site. not of the disastrous •- nuts "of I S-tit, but that appre hended, 'and not yet come — N. pass, of IS-IC!, 1 point you, with gladness and joy, to the grouting prosperity every where present, indicative of your farseeing and sagacious statesmanship. You did not bend to the breeze to which many of us yielded, but with deliberation, and public care, assumed a high responsibility, and discharged a public duty, for which, you have now your re ward, in this public thanksgiving - of the people. Few men have attained the distinction you have acquired, and fewer still, will retire from the lofty pOsition which you occupy. with a more indelible stamp of political intrepidity. honored, heretofore, with a seat in the Serlifte of the United States, representing the sovereignty of this great State, you guarded her interests, watched with filial anxiety her " States' rights," and with your successor, a favorite and illustrious an of Pennsylvania, gave her individuality and character. When General Jackson sent you abroad, you illustrated the beauty of our institutions, and the republican simplicity of our habits; and by your deportment and intelligence at the Court to which you were accredited, you impelled homage and re spect for the government and people which you represented. You have grown grey. sir, and much of the whiteness of those locks may be attributed to the public service through which you have passed, to the indomitable assertion of our political princi ples, and to your untiring energy in the cause of the people. Mn. Vice pnertnrnrrS Although I greet you as the guest of the Democratic party, I know too well, the liberality and magnanimity of the people, of this my native city, of all political creeds, to suppose, that there will be extended to you any other than the most generous hospitality. Apart from your high official station, as the sec- and functionary known to the constitution, your irreproachable personal and profession.' character, will be a pleasant and agreeable introduction to every hearth and fireside. Again, sir, I bid you a hearty welcome to this UR DALLAS' IMPLY Me. DALLAS, who stood in the carriage in which, he had arrived, replied to Col. Nl'Candle s, who spoke from the front gallery of the St. Charles Ho tel, in substance us follows: I am quite sensible, Sir, that this generous and animated welcome from the citizensoqittsburgh, I so unlooked for by me, is to be asefibed to the! pervading attachment to our free iii'stitutions of ; government, and the official relation I bear to them. Certainly, I have no personal pretension to t treatment thus kind and distinguishing. It is the effusion of patriotism ; sheaving how much the constitution and principles of our country are cher. I ished and revered, by the manner in which you re-! ceive a humble man, like myself, who has been ' made a representative of the whole American peo ple in their national' CounCils. As a public officer, I beg you, Sir, to accept, fur yourself, and those by whom you have been deputed, my sincere acknow ledgmentP ;—and as a private gentleman, I cannot too gratefully express my warmest thanks. You have been pleased, in terms far too flatterl ing, to advert to certain public services heretofore (rendered by me and among these have particu- I lady commented upon the "CASTING VOTE " which, ! as Vice President of the United States, it became my duty to give on the passage of the existing law regulating the duties collected on importations of foreign merchandize. I may, then, be excused fur saying that, acting, in conformity to the obli gations of my post as tbepolitical agent of all the members of this federative Union, and not as the limited and instructed agefit of one or a few of them, I could give no other vote - without violating funda mental principles frud the plainest dictates of pub lic morality. HoWever reluctant the vote might have been—and assuredly it is never agreeable to thwart the inclinations and , opinions of one's neigh !bore—it was a conscientious vote, firmly given, and never repented. How fur it's consequences may be beneficial and honorable to the country my fellow-citizens must determine and witness:— ( but they never can take from my own bosom the living and lasting ~consciousness that it was an honest vote, demanded by an honest discharge of fluty. Sir, I have already noticed some matters . in this Western region or our noble Commonwealth, con - fleeted with this' ariff question, not unworthy to be mentioned. Thirty yenta' have elapsed since the only visit I have beretolore been.able to make to Pittskurgh. It has wonderfully changed. From a comparatively small, ill-regulated, unimproved and dinivsy town, it has advanced to an i extensive and beautiful city, crowded with - population at' once full of intelligence and activelusiness ; with magnificent public and private structures, and with every indication of onward movement, prosperity and wealth. As you have aptly remarked, there is no nuts here! Judging froth what is palpable as fact in your thriving district„ all our great in dustrial interests have not only not been injurious ; ly affected by the Tariff of 1846, but have receiv ed fresh impulse and accelerated progress. Cost stance, we know. has never been busier or more flourishing in our ports and rivers :—Ariaictr.-1 1- 1-1; as has suddenly been lifted from a depression I of many years continuance:—and MAsuractuas,s, while decidedly gaining the universally desired object of greater stability of prospect in their op-' erations and resources, by being reconciled ,t,o the! ; confederated policy and deniocratic sentiment of ! the Union. as well ai to the liberal and pacific system of modern national intercourse, have man ifested no symptom of ,being in the slightest de gree injured by the modification of our Tariff.; Sir, it is not so easy a thing to nuts the American People. Were the Tariff of 1848 an unwise, injudi cious, and oppressive act of legislation, instead of a prudent, careful, and beneficient arrangement in vindication of the rights and interests 6f the pro-1 I during classes of our Countrymen, engaged in the different employiuents of agriculture and com merce, as well us mannfactures, it would still be no match for the native and unconquerable vigor lof American industry and ingenuity. Our glori ! ous country will have ceased to be what it now is in the estimation of an admiring world, when a • mere change of system in collecting revenue—a change, too, founded on the reduction of taxes— shall produce the wide -spread, rapid, and over- I wheltking ruin we have had so repeatedly prophe !cied! While, sir,d congratulate you, and all my fel-I low-citizens of Pittsburgh, that you are not ruin-1 ; ed, that you are as prosperous, and bustling, and happy, as perhaps any community on the face off the earth, and that your future is as bright and promising as your industry and virtue deserve that it imuld be, I cannot omit in this connection, to add, that the results of the new tariff, in reference! to the common treasury of the American People, have already transcended, and promise still farther to transcend, the expectations of those by whom it was elaborately prepared. You all know that the tariff of ISI2 yielded a revenue somewhat exceeding twenty-seven millions of dollars:—and ;wise ani upright statesmen in the opposition, tin ; visiting to concede that by• reducing the amount, l a tax, the aggregate of its proceeds might be in.. creased, looked upon the reductions made in the tariff of I ti4i3, as necessarily leading to a dimin-, islied revenue. On the 'floor of Congress, it was argued that this new plan would not yield twenty I millions—perhaps not sixteen .millions of dollars.. Well ! agreeably to what I believe to be most au. I thentic and reliable information, I am able to say to you, that this abused tariff, has already, at the; expiration of the three "first quarters of the first year of its operation, on the. 31st of August last, , realized a revenue little, if any thing, :short of twenty six millions ; and that relying upon the product of the last month. (close upon five mil -1 lions,) it is confidently anticipated that: at the end of the year, we shall have collected from du ; ties on importations at our various customhouses, ; an aggregate of not sixteen nor of twenty, nor of twenty-seven, but of Tararx-srx MILLIONS 09 OOLLLUI But, air, lam detaining you too long. I wish to shake hands, and cordially reciprocate the wel come of my fe log+•citizens. Return to them, sir, for me, my renewed and most grateful thanks. Mona Rolm—The leading Federal organ of this city, the late United States Gazette, and now the N,,rth .I,nericon h rutted States Gazette, made repeated prophesies, long and loud, that the Iron 'and Coal interests of Pennsylvania would be en tirely destroyed, should the Tariff of 184 G become the law of the laud. On the 2d inst., one of the leading Nail manufacturers notified his customers as follows: We have this day advanced the price of our Nails, as follows: Cumberland 5; Phienia 41." Phis is an advance of half a cent per pound, and is the second or third advance within a year! How does this agree with Federal prophecies ! Pennsylvanian. We recommend the Federal editors of this city, who are endeavoring to get lip a panic, to read the above article. If the conductors of the Federal press would publish fucts—plain, unvar• nished FACTS—in relation to the business of the country, and let thg people judge for themselves, no person would have cause to complain. The leaders of that party are eternally croaking about some imaginary ruin which is to overtake the peo ple—the gaunt and terrible ghosts of distress are constantly troubling their imaginations. While Jur and ['Liars and PUCISPARITT are smiling upon and blessing the people, the Federalists are raising the false alarm of Ruin and Desolation! This is an old game of the Feds, and the people begin to understand it well. It is generally sound• ed, on the eve of an important election, for politi. cal effect. I=3ll c o- At a meeting of the Democratic Committee of Correspondence, held on the 7th inst., the tot lowing resolution was adopted : "Respired, That' this Committee recommend to the several wards and districts to appoint their own Committees of Vigilance, and that such ap.l pointments be made at once, and' either by the Delegates to the late County Convention, or by a meeting held by the people for that purposte. Al so, that so soon as such Committees are appointed,, the names of the members thereof respectively he forwarded to the editor of the Morning Post." 4 We intend to keep this resolution standing till the election, for we consider its recommendations of the first importance. We know that the Democratic party is the ma• jority of the people of Pennsylvaqia, and that sue— cess is certain if our voters come to the polls. The Federal party know this fact as Ntrell as we, and they are now making a mighty but secret el fort to win a victory from us by surprise. Let us, then station our sentinels, arouse the secure, and bring our whole force into action, and victory is as certain as that the day comes. The Democracy of Washington, Pa., are making grand preparaiions to receive the Vice President. He will be with them, we understand, on Wednesday evening. • 1 33- A project.is on font in Cincinnati to erect a splendid Hotel at the corner of Broadway and Fourth streets, which shall occupy a apace of a bout 200 feet on one street and' 160 feet on the o ther. ' The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says: The red-dug banks located in Chautauque and Cattarugus counties, referred to by us a few days since, have suffered their billS to be protested, and the holders are now empowered to advertise the securities of the banks in Albany ten days after protest. yat~ac;.q LOCALIATTERS. Hon. RICHARD Szmn.E.--In the Supreme Court yesterday morning, Mr. M'Candiess arose and ad dressed the Court as follows: Ma. Curer JUSTICE: Mr. 13iddie is dead. This Court room, so often vocal with the music of his voice, and animated with the stirring eloquence peculiar to himself alone, will hear him no more forever. My breth ren of the Bar have deputed to me the solemn office of announcing this calamity to the Court. 1 do it, may it please your- Honors, with pro found sensibility ; for no one cherished a deeper reverence for his professional opinions, or a higher estimate of his personal character, than myself. He was the model of a Lawyer. Learned, pro. found, unremitting, he never hesitated to examine, even before yourselves, your Honors' judgments, I • in matters material to his client. Knowing this, your Honors always listened to him with an at tention s hick, I know, provoked the admiration of Mr. Biddle himself. For lie Court he had the highest regard. I have often heard him say, that you had anticipated the legal learning of England in reference to the mercantile law, and that your opinions would be quoted with respect even in Westminster Hall. The Bar of Pittsburgh admired and were at tached to 11Ir. Biddle, as well for his legal attain ments as for his kind and generous deportment to wards the younger members of the profession. A strict sense of honor was to him an indispen sible qualification in a lawyer. If this was ab sent, he was unworthy to occupy a position that gave him command of the purse, and sometimes the destinies of men. His career here, was marked with triumphs that rarely fall to the lot of professional men.— W th a jury he was omnipotent; he entered the box with the familiarity of a friend, and if there was an obnoxious member who seemed unsatisfied, he carried lim by storm to an adoption of his views. In this, my seniors and myself feared to encounter him. In the higher walks of the profession, he was pre-eminent. With the Year:Books and the elder! Reporters, he was as intimate as we are with the outside of the legal and ephemeral productions of the day. Your Honors remember well how he illustrated every subject that called for an examination into the early authorities. Not one of then escaped' his notice; and if he found none having a proper) bearing to the subject unier discus-ion, his own sound judgment supplied the place of what it was •expected would appear in the books. May it please your Honors, we lament his de cease, we cherish his memory, and hope that we may all emulate his example. • I now move your Honors, that the proceedings of the Bar may be entered upon the minutes of this Court. Chief Justice Gibson remarked that the pro ceedings of the Bar Meeting should be recorded. Ar. Biddle was a lawyer for whom he had a pro found respect. lie was a man whose life should be imitated by young members'of the profession— he was what a lawyer should be. The two boys who were arrested in this city some time ago, for stealing a watch from a man in Brownsville, have been found guilty, arid senten ced to three months each in the Fayette county jail.' This is a hard case; we do not believe these boys were thieves. One of them took the watch under circumstances that should excite some chari ty. We believe the prosecutor himself did not desire to have them punished, but our laws com pelled him to proceed against them. We hope they may escape (torn prison better and wiser, but it will be strange if they do. It is more likely that they will become profesiional thieves, for how else can they gain a subsistence than by robbery, since people are not disposed to trust or encourage thcfse who arc unfortunate in some act of their lives. Tnraraa.—Two nights of the present season have passed, and large gowds have attended. The, improvements made in the inside have excited ad. miration. The company is considered good, l al though the pieces which have been presented have not been of a sort to bring out the powers of the, members. All our old favorites are well received. Miss Malvina is bound to be a favorite. Her ex. qiiisite grace as a danscuse will make hosts of friends in this city, in which the people are begin. ring to appreciate her art. a The case of Gamins Dux"( was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday by :‘lessrs. Alden and M'Candless for Plaintiff and Mr. Magraw for Commonwealth. The addresses were powerful ; the gentlemen having come into Court fully pre- pared in all the points of the case. The opinion of the court will be looked fiir with much interest, as upon it depends the fate of a human being, who has been suffering imprisonment and suspense for three years and a half. Wixtinws.—Some of the windows on iMTood st. are as good as a Museum. The aide talks are crowded nightly with spectators, attracted thither by the.curiosities in art that are exhibited by some of our enterprising merchants. Our city is indeed becoming a great place; the people are beginning to appreciate fine things. Welch's National Circus is no humbug. People have been so often taken in by the " false pretences" of Circus companies, that they ale suspicious of every one that comes to the city . All, however, who have visited Welch's Pavilion, agree that the performances are wonderful, and fully equal to the published promises of the Mana ger. Of course they will do a crowding business during their stay in this city. 4 The Telegraph says that t ossts , the cele prated Chown, is in the city, and urges Mr. Daven port to engage him. We hope this request may be complied with. o. j 'We neglected yesterday to notice the fact, that the Fancy Ball was a very respectable and pleasant, as well as brilliant, affair, All who were present concur in this opinion. We knew it would be, for the Managers are not the men to " get up any thing else.'' ozy- High Constable Gallagher left yesterday for Marietta, in company with Ramsey, the horse EU 0:7 - An attempt was made to fire the Duquesne Engine House, on Saturday afternoon. No harm done; but, may the guilty persons be found but and punished. Q.. A strong call in made upon the City Coun oils to supply the Vigilant Company with an En gine House. May the Fathers heed it. ANOTLIZII RECLUISITION.—We are informed by °fir friend Captain Birmingham, that .a requisition has been made upon Pennsylvania for one compa ny of Infantry ; which is to embark for Vera Cruz, via New York, as soon as mustered in. We can not understand the object of this requisition. The recruiting office is to be in this city. HON the officers are to be appointed is unknown. STUPENDOUS Arrala!--We_have heard that our neighbors of Allegheny have'a project on foot, - which, if carried into effect., willhe a most mag nificent Midertakint t i . and may yield-a-lige amount of profits 1,0 the r y. It is to purchase 4 , Hog back " from the , "I heological Seminary ; cut it down; with the stone;slate and earth, of which it is composed; fill up the low fiat ground on the Ohio opposite, which belongs to the city; and thus bring into market some fifty acres of splendid building lots. The principal cost would be in ex cavating and cutting down the Hill; for a rail way might be constructed, at no great expense, to remove the rubbish, the freighted car always bring ing up the empty one. Allowing for streets and alleys, it is reckoned that lots should be made eli gible for market, which might be sold for from three to four hundred thousand dollars; and thus afford the city a margin of profits enough to pay for the Water Works. Or if these profits were not applied to pay far the water, they could be ex pended in adorning the Commons, and making them the most beautiful Parks to be found about auy city—Parks for the recreation of the people, instead of Parks for the frolicksome gambols of pigs. We give the rough outline of the project, as a gentleman, who is interested in the scheme: im• parted it to us—it was a new idea, and we must confess he left us fully persuaded of the feasibility of the undertaking. CHECKS LOST—See advertisement. gee next Page. ccj-There will be an afternoon performance at the Circus to-day. Ladies, gentlemen and chil dren will have a fine opportunity to attend.

DISEASES OF WESTERN CLIMATE. _ Ira Carpenter, Postmaster, of Scottsville, N. Y., says: "I have found your pills to be of great service to me in removing bilious dificulties, as well as oth ers of this Western Country, and sufficient to re move all attacks of disease, without any other medi- ' eine. I used to be confined to my bed two thirds of every season, with billions difficulty, before I com menced the use of them. Since that lam not even I confined to my room, one week in the year, from these complaints. I had three children, that suffer ! ed the same with me, and before I procured this i medicine, one of these dear children fell a victim to this Dyspeptic, consumption, the other two are yet living, and have been equally benefitted by the use (exclusively,) of your domestic Pills."
