PITT RBURGHs SATURDAY MOR, NG, DECEMBER .4, 1847 Hoe. 'Mtn Bucuawatr.- I .4he communication of Madison; ' which an for l cibly urges the selec tion of . this distinguished statesman, as the Demo. cranic nominee for the Presidency, came in too late for insertion to-day. 1t will appear on Mon day. . • Mr..., Clay's Speech.---No, 3. Iris truly humiliating, to think that a man who has filled some of the highest office,' in the country, and who has been thrice an aspirant for the highest office in the gift of 'the People, should boldly proclaim, in presence of theirorlil, that American statesmen—the representatives of the freest, the most intelligent, and most moral people in the world, (a la'rge number of whom are his own iolitical frie l pds,)—are not only capable of uttering a lie; inotwi:bstanding their acts as represetativea are performed under the sanction of so oath; but that they have done so. Mr. Clay has, however, said this. Thomas Cor• win, of Ohio, who disgraces the name of en Ainerlcan, has said that the friends of the adinin• ;" : ' ' istration thought to entrap ) v the Whigs, by insert ing a lie in the bill making provision for carry inj on the war with Mexico; but exultingly exclaimed, that they failed in their attempt; for the Whigs voted for the ibill , lie and all; and Mr. Clay, following after, and endorsing Cor win'a treason, asserts, that-4 a preamble was inserted, falsely attributing the commencement of the war to the act of Mexico." "No earthly consideration would have ever tempted or pro voked me to vote for a bill, with a palpable false hood stamped on its face." • Now what is the only.inference, that any man of plain common Sense would draw, from sash a statement—assuming it to be tale? It 1 is 'nothing less thaita" charge of perjury, against every man, whether Democrat or Whig, who voted for that bill ; and,' , if it were true, we concei‘e that no one among that number, could, if the criminal laws of the country were enforc ed against him, escape frbm a State Prison, or a Penitentiary, or, a sentence of perpetual dis franchisement. Every member of Congress is under oath to support the Constitution. That instrument istrittly defines the duties of each co-ordinate branch of the government. The Congress of the United States, alone, under it, has power to declare war; although the President is required to defend the honor, and protect the property of the people of the country, in case of an invasion. In this matter them is nothing left to his mere judgment ; for 'the Constitution and Iters'clearly define the state' 9f affairs, in which he is bound to act; and to secure his efficient action, the whole army and navy are placed under his command. In case of art invasion, he is bound to act in accordance with his oath to support the Constitution ; and, no matter what may be his private views and wishes, he has no option : nor, does the time, when an occiirience of the kind I may take place, at all' affect his duty. In case of invasion, he is required to act; and he is also required to inform Congress. of the facts, and the manner in Which he has acted. It is their solemn duty to judge of those facts, and of the manner irt_sybickhe has acted, and to hold him, to a strict accountability. They dare nor, without a viola tlon of their official oaths, either shield him from Censure, or palliate his official • misconduct; and the man who does so, would be as much guilty of perjury, as the President, who should inform Congress of estate of circumstances, not warrant ed by facts; or who should' ' ceinceal from that pody tbe acts which he had committed. . In his message of May 11th, 18,16, Mr. Polk yid—" Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States; has invaded our territory; and shed - American blood upon Afrierican soil. She has proclaimed that hostilities have commenced, and that the two nations are now at war. As war exists, ant, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid it, exists by the acts of Mexico herself, we are called upon, by every consideration of duty and patriotism, to vindicate with decision, the honor, x ... r.... ~~i t _., 7 t r ~ pi~'F-• GRIMM the rights, and the interests of our eountrr"— Here was a statement of fact, the truth or false. '-hood of which was self evident, to every member of Congress. It was a matter abotit which there was no room to doubt; for nil the circumstances, tinder which both the government of Mexico, and that of our own country had acted; were fully detailed in the document stating this fact. The causes of our difficulties with Mexico, were known by all ; and every member of Congress equally will knew, that war had been threatened by Mex ico, and that she had taken the first preparatory step to that act, on her part, by recalling her envoy from the teat of our general government. The territory between the N ueces r and the Rio Grande—the occupation of which is pretended to have been the actual cause of the war—was xell known to form a part of one of our own revenue districts, so constituted by the very men, to, whom the fact of the existence of war was thus made known. All these matters were facts, well known to every member of Congrdss at the time ; and when the President asserted 'that. (by the act of Mexico, in crossing the RiO Grande, and there shooting down our countrymen, and after repeat- ed declarations on her part of an intention to make war upon us, and a formal declaration of war—though then unknownl to us)—war existed, every member knew that the assertion was found ed in fact, and fact only. IHad there been any reason to doubt this, it was i a duty, which every one owed to his country, to his own conscience, to the cause of eternal truth and justice, to withhold his assent from that statement of fact; and if he not only doubted but knew the stair ment to be false, we care cot by VI hat party name he may be called, or how high a station he may have occupied iri society, or in our government, be merits onl}l. the execrations of every true patriot—of every honest man in the world. • 3 lEEE " f:•„ -T; We cannot believe that any man, occupying the post of Senator or Representative in Congress, is so lost to all sense of what is due to the charac ter of his country, as to sanction the utterance of a lie by his government; nor -can we conceive of any state of circumstances, which would. in any degree justify such a course. Even an evasion of the truth, where truth ought to be given, is looked upon, among individuals, as en act of moral tur. pitude, amounting, in many 'cases, to crime; and surely the man who can, in his public and official Capacity, not only sanction, ,but actually utter a lie, is unworthy of public confidence; and ought tube branded as an enemy of his country. This is a plain, and unequivocal assertion of great criminality, on the part of 41 the Senators except ing two, and nearly all-the members - of the House of "Representatives. it has been made by one who has shared largely in the fionors of his country ; 'and evil time, and under circumstances, when every purely patriot soul is concerned for the hon. or and Welfare of his country.

It is made at a time, too, vi•hen those enemie eagerly catcl at every demonstration of sympathy for their cause an our country, every assertion of wrong committed upon:them by our gdvernment ; are thEinkful for every kind of aid and comfort" obtained from atridng us. It is inside at a peridd in the history of this war, which justly entitles those who mairOirch assertions, ko be' viewed is enemies of their' , country, and the friends and all vocates of Mexihti. They can only be classed in the same category - with those members of the Federal party, wro, in the wadi of 1812, voted against granting i s Upplies to our army; refused to rejoice at the triuMphs of their tiountrymen over her foes; denotihied the. administktion of Medi son as imbecile v and the war as unjust and unholy ; and proposed, rather than be acceSsary to its con tinuance, to plce , tlietnselves under the care of the 'British gcerrltnent. Those Iwho did theSe thingi, then, weritSaccounted guilty of moral tree. son, by the friends;!of their country ; and Mr. Cloy was one of the ;",number who thus pronounced judgment upon them. The partylwhich then toOk ground against :their country, Were doomed to more than tvventiiyears' disgracel by the people; and, even at thiV!day, the names of those who thus took the finale ground which Mr: Clay now takes, are mentioned only as a byL, word and a re proach, among' ; ili the fast friend of our govern ment. Retributive justice has followed them thus far through life and the darkness of the gralre will 'shut out Itheir names from the memory tor 'their countrymerij The impartial pen of history will do justice' both to the motives and the adts of the supporters Of this war; and the same pen Iwilllso record the sentence of a patriotic, mag- Inanirnous, and virtuous people, !upon those uho have 'been its ibitter and uncompromising oppo i , . , . , All the effmtshf Mr Clay and his partisans, to prove that "This, I's no war of defence, but one un necessary, think, prove orig.'? iiing. :Ilis eloquent attempt to present this war" d that of 181'4 in contrast, its not only unitisbut, as we thinkiwe have shoWn, untrue. Strictlyapeaking, it may be said, with a show of truth, that 'Mexico is defending her fire— sides, her castles,. and her allars:r But this fat will not, in any , W'ay, injuriously affect our position; ituless it can bei'ithown that, in the outset, our government watc,yrrong—that we Were the aggres sots. ' By no praress of fair reasoning can this he established: for, even admitting thnt the territory between the Nireees and the Rio Grande was real ly in dispute, .Mexteo could noti be justified in coming into that territory, with t view to drive from it citizens ;of the United Stiates; and their presence within. }t was in vintatiOn of no treat} stipulations.withexico; and could not be viewed, iu itself, as an 'net of hostility t'iri Mexico. No authority was ,given to the commander of our farces there, td offer any act of violence vi hatevdr to any citizen,orl any body of citizens of Mexico, who might be foetid within it, unless, from their 'overt acts, they i thowed that they ( 'were prompted alone by hostile; motives. But the v language 41 the governmentittself will best exiilain the nature of the instructions given to Gen. Taylor in relatioh ito the course tiii..be pursued by him. In a ronfi. dentio/ letter from the War Department, dated on `the 15th June, 1845, he is told-6 The point of ;your ultimate 4iirtination is the Western frontier of TeXas, whereiyon will eelect:and occupy, on or. near the Rio Griinde del Norte, such a site as will consist with thelhealth of the troops, and will be best adapted to i!epel invasion, and tp protect what; l in the event of annexation, will he our western . border." This was written, it Will be seen, in anticipation of the annexation of Texas. Again;, on the Bth of Jrily, 18.45—‘ , This , department is 1 I informed, that Mexico has some )military estabi. I men's on the east side of the Rio Grande, which) are, and for some time have beeni in the actuall occupancy of her troops. In carrying out the' instructions heretofore received. yeti milt be careful! to aroid any act:' of aggression, unless en actual I state of war shatlld exist." On the 12310 f August .1845, the Secietary writes to Ged. Taylor, theft at Aransas Bay,:in Texas-6 Shotrld Mexico as', semble , a large hotly of troops on the Rio Grande. and crbas it with a consulerabld force, such IS movement must, be regarded as au invasion of the. United !States, and the commencement of hostilii .i ties." In a letter from the Secretary of War; bearing date on the 13th of January, 1845, Gen.! Taylor is inforrilid, that "It is not . designed, in. our present relations with Mexico, that you should treat her as an enemy; but, should she assume) that character, by a declaration o r 'f war, or any open act of hostility towards us, ybu will not act merely on the: - rjefensive, if your relative means enable you to do otherwise." Noi language con tained in our vocabulary could be aele ted, calcu lazed to convei, i in a more plain Manner, the pa i •cific intentions of our government; towards Mexii-i (given while, at the same time, that government was (given to undersland by it, that inault and aggrea.l sion would be no longer tolerated. Yet, nom ith- standing all the. wrongs we had already endured, no word can be; found, either in the diplomatic correspondence,bl our minister, or in the instruc tions to Gen :Taylor, not perfedtly compatible with that feeling of respect, Vi biiil would mark the conversation of an individual,' who might he making an effort to come to an amicable under ' 'standing with his neighbor. Such language was ',used. throughouC, as a wise and pnident statesman l 'only would user and such a course of action was indicated, as tO.leave Mexico no roam for believing we were to be any longer trifled with. Where, then, do we find any probf that this war i ,is an unnecessary one, 'land of Offensive aggree Lion ?" Do we find it in the fact, that Mexice had, for more than twenty years, been committing acts of insult and aggression towards us?

"s~~r Rev. Robert J. Brackenridge, -The following is an extract trout a letter, written to the editor of the Washington Union, dated Lexington', Kentucky, November 25th. The Brackenridge family appear all to have their feel. ings warmly enlisted in favor of their country's cause. The Sermon of the reverends gentleman most have been very pleasing to the ears of the patriotic people of Lexington, after listening to Mr. Clay's Mexican harangue: The Rev. Robert J. Brackenridge preached a thanksgiving sermon to-day, which mutt have gladdened the heart of every patriot who heard. him. He disclaimed all interference with politics; but he could not help adverting to the war in which his country was engaged. The savage character of the enemy was portrayed in their murder of poor Fanning and his men in cold blood. in violation of the terms of surrender; and, instead of improving in our good opinion by a more intl. mate knowledge of the tyrants of Mexico, we were compelled to consider them unfit for the management of a civilized people. Mr Bracken ridge rebuked the idea, in the strongest manner, of any treaty with Mexico, which did not secure to us greater advantages in our future intercourse than we had heretofore enjoyed. This, coming from one"of the first men of the Presbyterian order in Kentucky, was most accept able, after the many political and religious denun ciations which is e have heard. NATIO:VAL :::ONTIrWTION.-- The Washington Union has the follo.ving remarks, relative to the time and place of holding the next Democratic National Convention, to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency: The tide runs strongly in favor of the 4th of July. The democratic press has spoken emphati cally in favor of that day, and we see no objection to it. There are some, advantages in it, and no serious mischief, if the spirit of harmony should in the mean time preside over our party. "Every thing for the cause, ,and nothing (or little) for men." As to the . place of meeting, we shall not discuss it. It iaol less consequence than some presses suppose. If there be any real advantage in changing the venue, why not leave it to a free and liberal conference among the democratic mem hers of Congress ? We should be proud to see the democracy of New York coming forth in their undivided strength. She would, indeed, be 'potential, - but torn,as they are, by their internal feuds, they are rapidly loosing their strength and influence in the Union. Merit bens of Congress with whom we have .conversed, hesitate not to say that, if these dissensions con. tinue in New York, we must despair of her co. operation, and elect the next President without her vote. But it is hoped that these feuds wil vanish, and that a more conciliatory and compro mising spirit will animate each division of the party, and bind together the whole democracy of New York with that of the south and of tke Union. aj• At the request ilaf a subscriber, we top) the following article oh the tea hour movement from the American Statesman : THE TEN HOUR MOVEMENT. Since the Legistaturo of New Hampshire passed a law declaring that ten hours should be consid ered a day's labor, we-find the people in other sections of the tlnion moving with a view to the passage of similar laws by their Legislatures. We learn that the factory operatives in several coun ties in Pennsylvania are holding meetings to dis cuss the subject, and that petitions to the Legisla ture of the State are in circulation, asking the passage of. a law limiting the hours making.a day's labor to ten. One great object of the law making power should be to protect labor in the enjoyment of its rights. It is indeed the peculiar province of gov ernment to extend its protecting influence over labor capital. Every other species of capital is better able to take care of Itself than labor.— While we admit that the rich and the poi), are alike objects of governmental care,yet the former have so many advantages that the special aid of government is seldom tecessary for their prctec Lion. The Spirit of the . . . says that in the city o Tvl Philadelehia litid the aijsining couuttiet we are pleased to bear that the most enthusialA feeling is manifestod on this subject, and that the employ era are in many cases . cooperating with the opera tives with a view to accomplish the reduction in the hours of labor." Labor directed by intelligence is far, more valu able to the employer than that performed by the ignorant. Remunerating prices paid free labor is tar more profitable to the employer than unpaid slave labor. The South see the prosperity of the free manufacturing State, and say, *let us erect factories and compete with the North." We tell them they. never can 'while slavery exists among them. They may fill their factories with slaves, young and old, whose intellects are as dark as the color of their skins, sett compete they never can while slavery exists.. They argue that the cheap. nese of slave labor gives them an advantage in manufacturing. This: is a great 'mistake, and they will find it out;when tried. .Neither have they a substitute in the laboring white population. They are a degraded class whose genius lies dor. main,' and never can be developed so long as they are surrounded by slivery. Emigrants from the North and East will 'go among them and avail themselves of all the advantages the South pos sesses, as regards the establishment of manufacto ries. Men whose genius and business habits have been developed in the free States are to reap the profits derived from :the manufacturing at the South. Well paid free labor is necessary to the prosperity of a. people. Encourage reflection among the masses who ilibor, by giving them time to exercise the or.ans.of thought, and you can set no limits to the progress of man. Why are there more new ands useful inventions in the sciences and arts first- brought to light in this country of freedom and comparative independence, of the laboring classea, than in any other country on the globes Simply because the masses have More time to think. ;:Lessen the hours of labor, then, and thus encourage thought, and the future will tell you that the powers of the human mind have in this, the nineteenth century ol the Chris. Lien era, scarcely begun to develope themselves. cnif the vast majority of Whigs in ; Congress vote a falsehood, acting under the solemn re. sponsibility of an oath, what right has any com munity, on earth to trust them?—Lossis. Dim. LOCAL MITTEITS. ANOTUER.firilltollfLr-MO3OiGAIiALAC Pail a/ - &c.-During ihe late term of the Quarte? • Sessions, a petition was rireiented (so we under_ stood,)' asking for a'charter for a ciusterof build ings above AlleghenY, Which theiitiabitsrts . pro. posed to call Duquesne. We have, heard nothing of it since';; but if the prayer of the petitioners was not granted, it should have been; for the place is of sufficient magnitude and importance to require an organization. Another borough charter is in contemplation, in the neighborhood of this city. That portion of Upper St. Clair towrrship lying between the Bk . .' mingham line and the Clinton Iron Works, at the the base of Coal Hill, has mounted up within the past two years to such.a position, that a govern ment is absolutely necessary. it is now called South Pitt. The population is increasing with great rapidity. Manufacturing establishments, private dwellings, &c., are in progress of erection., The Ormsby estate has been parcelled out into "town lots," as our readers know, and many and valuable improvements have been made. No part of our county exhibits So many indications of progress as the little precinct referred to. Three years ago, we could stand upon this side of the river, anein a moment count all the buildings, of every descriptiOn, it contained; now, there are " countless numbers." We hope the charter may be granted ; unless there should be a desire for consolidation—a union of Birmingham. and South Pitt. Should this latter course be adopted, we would soon hear of an application for another city charter.— This we would like too. On Thursday, though it was gloomy, muddy and disagreeable generally, we took a stroll across the Wire Suspension Bridge, to see what was to be seen in that neighborhood, We dropped into a new establishment—and a very extensive one it is, as well as interesting to a visitor. We refer to the ' , Monongahela Planing Mill" of Mr. Jas. MILLINOAR. It is situated about three hundred yards above the bridge, on the bank of the river. It has been in operation since October. We were shown through it, by the gentlemanly proprietor; and were much gratified. Ttus far the establishment has met with unprecedented success., We learned that, from the start, the machinery has been kept running from the dawn of morning till 9 o'clock in the "eirening—sol great .was the demand for work. The three planing machines turn out about eight thousand ket of boards per day. One of them panic tarty excited our curiosity; it planes both sides of a twenty-two inch plank at once. This is a feat not performed by any other machine in the west. They were made by Messrs. Fink 4r Pren iss, of New Jersey; and are deemed superb as to workmanship. There are four Circular Saws kept constantly on the buzi; and an " up and down" for splitting plank, has been running all the time. A Moulding. Machine, of very ingenious con struction; and which turns out the best work, was in running order. It appeared to be a v ry corn plicated contrivance; but no doubt it i enough when one understands its 'mo One thing is certain, it performs neat w quickly. All the machinery of the establishment by two Engines, of thirty horse power were manufactured by Robinson 4- Minis, said to be unequalled in every respect. cylinders are two feet stroke, and eleven i diameter. There are tw•o thirty inch thirty eight feet long. Though not mechanic enough to ap fully the value of the improvements int into these engines, we could nevertheless there was something novel in their construction; which, we were told, added greatly to their value ; compared to the engines now in use in such mills. The names of the manufacturers are sufficient guaranty that the engines are of superior work manship. The arrangements for burning shavings and rubbish, without endangering the building, afruck us as being excellent. We — regard it as impossi• ble that:fire could be Communicated to any eom bustible material in the building, by accident.— 'I he shavings are let into a firebrick vault, through trap doors, and run into the furnaces in quick time. The vault doors are of iron. About eight hands are employederith the Planing Machines, the Saw Moulding Machine and Engine. These are enabled to do the work of sixty men I Those philosophers who have been so much a. !armed at the increase of labor among mechanics, may here find an item for ti`lecture but , we war- rant that it is all for the better, in the end, and time will prove it so. On the third story, we found a.number of car penters, busily employed on nteamboatyvork. Ma chinery wilt this winter be introduced - jrito the apartment, for the manufacture of window sash, - door frames. &c.,&c. The proprietor is well known to river men, as an extensive builder of steamboats cabins. We presume he could not estimate the number he has erected. He has now six in pro gress, of which 'is to be the finest that ever floated upon the Western rivers—we mean the new Wisconsin. We were shown a draught of the in side of her cabin, drawn by Mr. Kerr; whose valu able services Mr.'Millingar has secured. The " Monongahela Planing Mill " turns out work for builders in all directions. On Thursday a lot of boards were being run through for a man up the river. BirminghaM, Sligo, and other places, give much employment to these `machines; but en immense amount of work comes to this side of the river. When a Planing Mill superior to Mr. Mil lingar's is established in this vicinity, or any where in the West, we will take pleasure in noticing CIII3I3TMAR 13 C031130.—.We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. H :Lusa, in another column..
