IFrom the Life of Mrs. Jordan.]
' During Mrs. Jordon's short Istay at Chester,
- ;Whereehe had been performing ;her washerwoman,
i'viidOw, with three small children, was by a mer
,--ciless.creditor; thrown into prison. A sitiall debt,
4 'about forty shillings, had been increaaed, in a
short time, by law expenses, tOeight pounds. As
'soon as Mrs.jordan had heard of the circumstan

and'observeiid, with as much severity as her good

Aed by their cries to the affecting scene, which a

Mrs. 'Jordan's disposition, vvas,net easily damped
,Ity_sorrowful scenes. However,alihough she strove
to hide it, the:ear of feeling stole down her cheek,
.andltooping, to kiss the children, she slipped a

`The - falloWing eloqbent extract is from the
Democratic - llevieW, by Mr. ArringtOri, of Texas.
To a mathematician, the reasoning in favor of an
intelligent First Cause. is simple-end conclusive;
and similar evidence may be drawn from almost
every-object in nature.
"The construction of the followinkargument,
in my mind, originated in the necessity of my na
ture. Some years ago, I had the misfortune to
meet with the fallacies of Hume, on the subject of
causation. His specious sophistries shook the
faith of my reason as to the beingdof a God, but
could not overcome the repugnance of my heart to
a negation so monstrous; and consequently left
that infinite and restless:craving for some point of
fixed repose, which atheism not only cannot give,
but absolutely and madly disaffirms.
"One beautiful evening in May, I was reeding
by the light of the setting sun in my favorite Plato.
I was seated on the grass, interwoven with golden
bloomt, immediately on the crystal Colorado of
Texai. Dim in the distant west arose with smoky
outlines, massy and irregular, the blue cones of an
offshoot of the Rocky mountains.
"I was perusing one of the Academician's most
starry dreams. It laid fast hold of my fancy sith
out exciting my faith. I wept to think it could
not be true At length I came to that startling
sentence, "God geometrizes." " Vain revery!'' I
exclaimed, as I cast the volume on the ground at
my feet. It fell close by a beautiful little flower
that looked fresh and bright, as if it had just fallen
from the bosom of a rainboW. I broke it from its
silvery stem and began to examine its structure.
Its stamens were five in number, its great calyx
had five parts, its delicate coral base five, parting
with rays expanding like rays of the Texan star.
This combination of five in the same blossom, ap
peared to be 'very singular. ;I had never thought
on such a subject before. The last sentence I bad
just read in the page of the pupil of Socrates, was
ringing in my ears—" God geometrizes." There!
was the text written long centuries ago ; and here
this little flower, in the remote wilderness of the
west, furnished the commentary. There suddenly
passed as it were before my eyes a faint flash of
light—l felt my heart leap into my bosom. The
enigma of the universe was open. Swift as thought
I calculated the chances against the production of
these equations of five in only one flower, by any
principle devoid of reason to ,perceive numbers. I
found that there were one hundred and seventy five l
chances against such a supposition. I extended
the calculation to two flowers by squaring the sum
last mentioned. The chances amounted to the
large sum of fifteen thousand six hundred and
twenty five. I cast my eyes Around the forest; the
old woods were literally alive with those -golden
blooms, where countless beemi were bumming, and ,
butterflies sipping boney-dewe.
"I will not attempt to describe my feeling—my
soul became a tumult of radiant thoughts. I took
up my beloved Plato from the grass where I had
tossed him in aht of despair. Again and again
I pressed him to my bosom, with a clasp tender as
a mother's around the neck of her sleeping child.
I kissed alternately the book and the blossom, be
dewing them both with tears of joy. In my wild
enthusiasm, I called on the little birds sitting upon
the green boughs._ trilling their cheery farewells to
the departing day—" Sing on, sunny birds; sing
on, sweet minstrels; lot ye , and I have still a God."

Note Federal Capital.
In the eastern part of the State, the Federalists
have very recently found a new ground upon which
to attack Governor Snorts. It - is this: In April
last, an unfortunate Irishman, named Tierney, was
convicted at Easton, for the murder of his wife,
which he did while in a state of intoxication.—
Very great exert ions were made, , immediately after
his conviction, by petition and otherwise, to have
him reprieved, until it should be seen whether the
next Legislature would not abolish capital punish.
ment. The Governor, however, did not feel him
self at liberty to grant this, under the circumstan•
ces,--and,.after having thoroughly considered the
matter, his death warrant was issued, and the time
for his execution fixed for the first instant. Du
ring the week previous to the day fixed' for his ex
ecution, the Governor received •a letter from the
spiritual adviser of the unfortunate man.-(who has
but recently taken charge of the congregation of
which Tierney was a member,) urging upon- bim,
by every consideration which could operate upon
a humane officer, to, grant a short respite, in order
that he might have an opportunity of affording,
him such spiritual instruction and advice as would
lead—under the blessing of Heaven—to his becom
ing better fitted for that state of existence, upon
which he must soon enter.
This letter is spoken of, by those who have read
it, as one of the most powerful, and at the same
time touching, appeals to the mercy of the Execu•
the, that could well be produced ; and reflects the
highest credit upon the mind and feelings of the
gentleman who wrote it, (the Rev. Mr. Reannox.)
As the legal demands of public justice could in
no way be affected, by granting a respite to this
unfortunate being, Governor SOUs promptly
granted him a respite,until the third day, of Decem,
ber next; when the demands of the law must be
satisfied.
And who condemn this act of the Goiternor—an
act which of all others is one of the most exalted
a public officer can perform ? Who would censure
die chief magistrate of our State for the perfor
mance of an act of mercy ? The heartless beings
who seek to injure him--who impeach his motives
in the performance of this Christian duty—are
Federal Whig leaders. And what are the grounds
upon which he is thus assailed 1 The unfortunate
being, whom the law requires shall be put to death,
is au Irishman; and Governor Shunk is charged
with seeking, by this means, to conciliate and gain
the votes of the natives of Ireland! As though a
single Irishman in Pennsylvania would vote for
Governor Shunk, for resorting to an unjust and
illegal act, when he is sworn to administer the
laws with impartiality. But how little do these
Federal leaders know, how little have they ever
known, of the character of the Trish people! A l n
act of wrong and injustice they are among the first,
everywhere, to frown upon; but an act of mercy,
of generosity, of magnanimity, they seldom .larget.
If Governor Shook has, therefore, exceeded his
duty, or fallen short of it, in this act, he would
make but a poor calculation,•if be thought to be
sustained by the Irish voters of Pennsylvania; and
if he has not in any way acted contrary to his
duty, the Federal leaders, by their present course,
will only drive to him hundreds of voters he would
not otherwise obtain. That he has not violated
the requirements of the law, in the slightest par
ticular, they well know. That he has been actu•
ated solely by considerations relating to the eternal
condition of the unfortunate convict, is too clear,
not to be self evident to them. They therefore
wish to give a false coloring to this act—make it
appear a violation of duty—and charge it upon
him that he thus morally perjures himself, in or
der to secure the votes of the Irish.
But there is still another position in which they
place the matter. Tierney is a Roman Catholic ;
and Gov. Shunk is charged with extending his
time on earth, with a view to secure the votes of
Roman Catholics. From the frequency wish
which the imputation, of base and unworthy mo
tives, is made by this party against their opponents,
we would be led to look upon the authors of such
charges, as among the most base and unprincipled
creatures in existence : for no man, it would seem
to us, will be charged with having a base motive,
in doing a truly merciful act, unless by one too
base and grovelling to, appreciate the refined feel-
ings of mercy and humanity.
This contemptible and most base charge, is
made by politicians of the same class, as those be
fore referred to ; and their design, is no more hon
orable and no less transparent, in this, than in the
former charge. They seek to array the members
of other religious sects against a denomination of
Christians, whose influence they fear, because
mainly exerted, in our country, on the side of our
Democratic institutions. But can any true believ
er in the mild, and peaceable, and benevolent gov
erament of Jesus Christ, for a moment condemn
Gov. Shod! for having performed this truly merci
ful act? Is there any human being, who professes

The Federalists make a great boast of the liber
ality of General Irvin, because he gave to a religi
ous society a lot of ground, on which to build a
meeting house, and then told them of it just be
fore the election; and we doubt not that he is a
liberal man. His liberality is not, however, of
that truly christian kind, which prompts to the
doing of good acts, without letting the right hand
know what the left hand does; and is not, there•
fore, entitled to receive the meed of praise due to
unostentatious charity. It is too much like th a t
of many others in the world, who will reduce to
the utmost farthing the wages of a poor washer
woman or day-laborer, in order to make a large
show of generosity and benevolence before the pub
lic. We commend not such acts of miscalled
benevolence. True benevolence prompts the mind
to the performance of actions beneficial to our fel
low men, without the probability of having them
make a return of our kindness. Of this charac
ter have been all the acts of Governor Shunk'a
life; and in none of his recommendations as a pub
lic man, has there been a finer manifestation of
his true character as a man, and his high standing
as a philanthropic public, officer, than is displayed
in the language of the following message, sent to
the Legislature at its last session. Let every free
man read it, ponder on its sentiments, and ask
himself—ls not such a man worthy of the highest
respect, esteem, and love of his fellow citizens?
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
GENTLEMEN :—Every arrival from abroad adds
horror to the story of the suffering of the people
of Ireland. Pale famine, with the destruction
that wasteth at noon-day" in its train, is upon
them. The wailings of the afflicted are heard
from afar, and every generous and humane feeling
is awakened—every heart throbs with sympathy,
and every hand is ready to extend relief. In addi
tion to the ordinary claims of misery, wherever
may be its location, there are considerations which
give to an appeal from Ireland to us resistless force.
Her sons have been the champions of liberty, and
their bones are bleaching upon every battle field of
the first and second war for American indepen.
dence.
The Highlanders of Scotland, too, are represent.
ed as suffering for the want Of bread. Who can
withstand the claims of these countries? the genius
of whose sons has shed light and science, and the
charms of poetry—of eloquence and of story, up
on every country. Nations so distinguished. whose
sons and whose daughters have mingled their blood
.with ours, and transferred to their adopted country
the genius of their native land—over these nations
the cold and withering band of famine has stretch.
ed its desolations.
Realizing the ties of a common kindred, im
pelled by the charities of our nature, and the.holy
spirit of religion, the people pf these States are
pouring out of their abundance, for the telief of
the sufferers; they are expressing the fullness of
their gratitude to the great Giver of Good, who
has bountifully bleised their basket and their store,
by sending bread to famishing men, women and
children.
Profoundly thankful that we have the meag,
and are moved to enter upon this work of piety
and benevolence, I recommend to the General As
sembly the immediate passage of a law, for the
transit upon our public works, to the sea board,
free of toll, of all hieadstuffa and other provisions,
which the kind hearts and open hands of cur citi
zens are providing, for the relief of those upon
whom the hand of affliction is so heavily laid.
_ _
From every part of the country we receive ex
pressions of the highest praise, by the Democracy,
' of the frank and noble manner in which Mr. DAL-
Lis addressed his fellow citizens in this city ; and
how truly grateful to his feelings must it be, to
find that the "sober second thought, seldom wrong
and always efficient," of the People, fully and wil
lingly sustains him in his political course ! There
are few men in our country who have passed thro'
a more fiery political ordeal than Geonoz M. DAL
LAS; and, like gold under the influence of fire, he
comes out pure, and his value is more thoroughly
appreciated. He has proved himself the man for
the times, and if Tennessee can boast her Roman
Hero, %rho crushed, by the weight of his own
mighty influence, the power of British and Amer
icon banking gamblers,—Pennsylvania can boast
a Spartan, who was vvllliti,g to risk all his hopes
of political immortality. to overcome - the power
of associated wealth in another form, which sought
to rule the country. Long will the Democracy
of the whole Union cherish- his name, and honor
him for that display of true courage.
co- After receiving two lectures on the subject,
and having ample time to think of the matter, the
editor of the Gazette has at last acknowledged the
truth in relation to Mr. Polk having been chosen
Governor of Tennessee. In his " Sketch "he said
of Mr. Polk, "he was the candidate of his party
for the office of Governor of Tennessee, and was
not the successful candidate. Nor did Tennessee
vote for Mr. Polk as President." We charged him
with misleading his readers, by producing the im
pression that MrSPolk had never been chosen Go
vernor of that Slate; and he then wished to fur.
ther mislead them by calling upon us to deny that
he had been defeated. We rely too much upon the
intelligence. of our readers, to try and palm upon
them either a misstatement or an untruth. In his
paper of yesterday, however, Mr. Brooks says:
If the Gazette has conveyed any such impres
sion, [that he had never been chosen Governor of
Tennessee,) it states now that Mr. Polk was once
Governor of Tennessee,—that he was once beaten
by a Whig, when a candidate for the Gubernatorial
office of Tennessee,—that be failed to receive the
Electoral vote of his own State, and that his party
were thoroughly ;routed, and his measures con
demned at the late election. We wish now to have
the Post inform its readers of the whole truth in
the matter."
•
We congratulate our neighbor upon hie return
ing sense of rectitude. Perhaps he may be stil
further improved under the excellent . ministry of
Truth which he sometimes hears.

Ald. Steele, arrested John Slohn, and an examina
tion wails Before Aid. Steele. Mi. Mahon op
peered l'or...the Defendant. The following is an eh :
taltel'_ • Zain iitiAl
deimeN which he (>loan) refused - -to sign:
The safe was right on _ Sunday morning ;, I car_.

the fire, I saw throughlbe - -window. that , thif Safe

was wrong. ..The door that leadelO the.privy h'ad
holes bored- in It appeared - -that the person
bored the holes from the yard, in : order to,rertnive
the bolt. Geary's door was open . when rgot there.
The fire' appeared to be all - over the loWer story,
so that you could not tell where it wasfired.
_Marshall discovered the hole in the' attic story
The firemen made the hole from Marshall's, .into
our store, so that they could communicate with,
my store. A fireman told me be made it. I don't
know his.name. The safe was broken open; the
bolts were sawed off before the safe was open
The books were nOt.defaced. I. can't say that I
tried the locks of the front door on. Saturday. I
was not at the store on Sunday night. My broth
er kept the books. It appeared that they - did not
try to , fire the office. I was insured for $3,000 in
the Delaware.
George 4. Bayard, sworn.—After the fire Mr.
Marshall told me not-to be in such a hurry, for
there was a hole in the attic, leading from Sloan's,
and that I was putting the blame upon the wrong,
person. .He conveyed the idea that it came from
Sloan's. After the second fire I examined the
bole, and found a direct communication through
Marshall's to the chair shop. I examined the door
mentioned by defendant, and found the holes were
bored from the inside. I found a fire in the attic
story, which burnt through the roof, and one in
the front of the second story. I thought there
had been a fire in the office. The person who fired
the house did not get in by the bored door.
Rob!. Finney, sworn.—Went with Mr. Brockett
to examine Sloan's safe; Sloan said it had been ta
ken away. He told where it was, and went with
us. Mr. B. shod•ed the impossibility of the front
.door being opened by any other means than a key
or pick, and of the bolts being smelt off in the
manner they were until the door was first opened.
The incendiary wished to convey the idea that
the bolts had been sawed off to open the safe.
9. Brockett, sworn —Have examined the safe.
The bolts could not have been sawen off a ithout
scratching the iron; they are sawen off square and
nice. A saw could not have got through without
makingsorce marks. The lock was in good order.
In my opinion the bolts of the inner door were
sawn off while the outer door was open. Sloan
said it was locked and bad been broken open.—
There was no more violence used than to tare a
bar off. The safe was not broken open. Such is
my opinion.
John Finney, svrorn.—The firm of M &I Sloan
have an insurance in my office for $3OOO. On
Monday morning Sloan informed me that his
goods had been damaged, and his safe broken open
and robbed of $4O. He said the bolts of the outer
door had been forced back.
Robert Watson, sworn. The door which had been
bored, had every appearance of having been bored
from the inside. I can tell when a hole is made
from the inside or outside, unless there is a:bar,to
prevent the breaking of the wood through. I , I be
lieve the holes were bored from the inside.
The delendant was denied the privilege of pro
ducing testimony in his own behalf. After con
sideration, he was bound over to stand his trial on
the charge of Arson. Hon. Judge Porter received
bail for hie appearance in the sum of $l,OOO.
The above case excites considerable interest.
The defendant was a merchant, in good standing,
and enjoyed, we believe, a prosperous business.—
Of course, our readers will not be prejudiced against
himoan account of the appearance of things ex
hibited by the witnesses,,whose testimony we have
given above, in an abridged form. He has, wenn
derstand, testimony which will tell strongly in'his
favor.
Fra.acrentxo llf ALLEOUENT.—A woman
was arrested yesterday morning, by the Allegheny
Police, and examined before Mayor Campbell, on
the charge of picking pockets, in the Market place.
She was caught in the act of taking a lady's purse.
Several sums of money have lately been missed,
and the larceny is now laid to her. Money was
found upon her, which was identified. A dress
which had been stolen from a merchant, was found
in her possession. After hearing the testimony,
she was committed for trial. Her name is Latte•
mer.
MUSTCAL EXTERTAINILENT AT NILO H•LL.-
Mr. Chubbee. the Indian Flutist, who has gained
much fame in the world for the skill he displays
upon his favorite instrument, will give a Concert
at Philo Hall, this 'evening. The Musical Sauce
Pan (an instrument of Mr. Chubbee's own inven
tion,) Is a singular affair; and, in the hands of the .
Choctaw, is made to discourse the most exquisite
music. The Concerts already given by Mr. Chub
bee, in our city, have gained for him a solid repu
tation. The one he gives to night is to be gotten
ur, we understand, by a number of gentlemen who
feel that he has talents as a performer, worthy of
enthusiastic support.
MADAME A nt..otowrcz.—The Concert given by
this lady last evening was well attended, notwith.
standing the unfavorableness of the weather. All
were charmed by the sweetness of her voice. In.
deed, she is deserving of.all the praise that has been
bestowed upon her by the press of the east, south
and west.
We take great pleasure in 'announcing that she
will give another Concert this evening, in the
Athenwurn, which will be the last. The lovers of
song will not fail to be present. The weather
should be no hindrance
RACES.—We have heard something said of a
horse race that came off on the track near this
city, last week. It must have been keprvery qui
et, for not a word was uttered, in public or private,
about it, that we heard.
Tux LAST Junovrivi..---In a:Wood street win
dow, is a picture representing the last judgment.
As a picture, it is well enough; but the design is
blasphemous; and the artist gives evidence of the
low estimate he puts upon popular intelligence-
The idea of the world coming to such an end, is
a little too absurd, at this age, even to amuse grown
boys:
Lisznar..—Mr. Moorehead, the agent for the
Washington Monument Society, that the hands hi

tributed $lO4 50 to thc'ohjeCt of the Society.
