W. Cann, United States. Newspaper Agency, Sun Buildings. N. E. corner or Third and Boole, and 490 N. Fourth street--is our only au thorised agent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Railroad Company. We have received the "First annual Report of the Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pally to the Stockholders, October 30th, 1847 ; which gives a detailed'and interesting account of • the:operations of the company, during the past year. From this report, it appears that the whole amount of stock paid in is $1,017,725.• Of which there has been expended $64,421 ; leaving in the bands of the company $953,303. Public Documents. We are indebted to the Hon. Simms CAMZHON, of the 11 S. Senate for House Document No 2 a !"Letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, transmitting estimates , of additional appropria bons required for the service ofthe fiscal yegr en: ding 30th June, 1848, and for 30th June, 18.19.' We have not yet examined this important doe , .- ument; but will do so at our earliest leisure. The Hon. J.Lwas Scuffs:tart will please to ac. cept our thanks for an early copy of the Presidents Message. Win. John Sturgeon. We learn, with deep regret, that the remains of Lieut. Joror STIIRGEON, Company H, 2d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, were stolen by the Mexi cans, during the siege of Puebla. Lieut. S was the son of Hon. Daniel Sturgeon, of this State, and a young man of great promise' Trotripted by patriotic motives, he was among the Snit of Pennsylvania's noble sons, to obey the call of hit country; a nd. to peril, and loose his:life in defence of ber honor. He has lefta name, unspot ted and immortal; end though his body may Moulder on the inhospitable shores of Mexico, his memory will be green in the hearts of his country men, until the last leaf shall wither on the tree of liberty. We gather the above facts from Capt. Wm Quail, of the Fayette County Volunteers, who has - just returned from the army. Thomas D. WDowell, We learn from the Pennsylvanian, that this gen tleman is spoken of, as a candidate for the office -of State Treasurer. "He would (says that paper,) make a capital officer—possessing, as he does, great industry, a fine mind, and being sincerely devoted to the interests of the State. If distiu guished services rendered to the case of D emocra cy, constitute a claim. to considerations at the hands Pf the majority in the Legislature, Mr Mc- Dowxst. can point to his able support of our prin :ciples with confidence. The Democratic party '`has few abler or more fearless supporters." For the Morning Post PARTY DISSENSIONS. Mi. Enrroa :—Permit me to say a word, on the subject of party dissensions. A party, to be strong, most have unity within itself. The fable of the husbandman and the rods, is full of wisdom.— United, in a bundle, the rods could not be bent ; when separated, a child could break them. It is so with a political party : united, it is a tower of strength'; divided, it is a rope of sand. The Dern , ocntic party in Pennsylvania, had a glorious tri "umph in the recent election; it spoke out to its brethren throughout the Vision ; and told them that the "Keystone was without a crack or flaw; it showed them an example of unity, of determina tion, of vigor—nothing for men, every thing for principle. But I fear, sir, that the good spirit which moved us so recently, and led us on to vic tory, is somewhat vexed, and may, ere long, depart from us. That spirit should not be grieved by domestic broils; for if it is suffered to leave us, .through the influence of rancor and animosity, our strength is broken, our glory is sullied; and we are contemptible in our own eyes ; and in the eyes of -the world. It is time, therefore, for those who have the good of the party at heart to speak out; - to warn their friends of the dangers which may befal a house that is divided against itself; to change, before it too late, the narrow spirit of private interests and aspirations, into a diffusive spirit of general good. Already distempered arti- On are appearing in print. This would tarnish the lustre of a BIICRANAN and that would detract from the fair fame of a DALLAS. The enemy is watching our movements; and hails with joy every symptom of disaffection in our ranks,— Every effort which is made to break us into ;lac.' tions, is an effort of folly; it is insanity; it is madness ! 'ls there a hope for the nomination of a , Pennsylvanian for the Presidency at the National Convention, if we appear there divided by seisms and in factions—if we have mutually dishonored and defiled the champions of our principles, the standard-bearers of our triumphant progress 1 No, there is no hope! What then should we titi?— , Prudence, as welt as common sense, - gives the answer. The Democratic family is large, and in the main united; the drummers and trumpeteis of faction few. Let us, then have no unkind words; no reproaches ; no imputations of base motives to tried and sterling Democratsi but let us calmly and nuietly hear each other in the free interchange of frank, and manly, and just sentiments. Th! time is-approaching when the . People and the Press must actin concert; and bow can harmony be brought about if we all get to loggerheads' The merits of rival candidates should be canvassed; that is all right and- proper ; but it is. far ,from being right and proper, for one side to aim to ale vate its political favorite by traducing the good - name of the famrite of the other side. Mr. Editor, I have no objection' to the coGree• you have adopted ; but, on the contrary, I approve of it. When' you throw' your columns open for the free discussion of the merits of candidates, it is in accordance with the true spirit of democracy ; that spirit which aims to conceal nothing, but would open all things to the light of 'Truth. I like to see a spirit of generous rivalry, animated by patriotism, and proceeding with Out rancor, and 7-without resentment. - Much can be said for both Mr. Btrcsaaus and Mr. DA,LtAs, or for any other good Democrat, that will be pleasing to the party ; and when these eminent statesmen have been ex. hibited in their bestlight for a while,, the people can judge between them. But if we want to see a dissolution of the party, let us go on and sow discord; let us kick and-cuff each other as though we had no common principles, no common inter ests; let ua plot, and blunder, and backbite, and quarrel, until good men become dispirited and dis. gusted; until designing man fall.into the snares they laid for others;. and until, at last, the enemy shalt triumph in our 'disgrace. HARMONY. ; . . • MEI Letters feta l Pennsyliante Jtitle 'l9th, 1847. Deqr Ong her :— r l to Au directly after the surrender of Vera Cruz, givlng you full par ticulsra of that In6sorable bb4ardment ; and I trust you have received - that lOter. Vera Cruz surrendered on or about the 30t18uf March. We are at present in the city Of Puebla—a city of some importance in Mexicd,lcontalning about eighty or ninety thousand inhab&lnnts. It is loca ted in a beautiful valley, with die Peak of Mexico on the west—the highest mouniisin in Mexico— which adds much to the beautiOf prospect. I had almost forgotten to meokion the battle of Sierra Gordo, where the veterakScott vanquished Santa Anna and his host, thotogh not without severe loss—loosing, in killed and! vvounded, four hundred and twentylve men. cannot give you the particulars of that fight, as Our Regiment did slid not participate i in it: for, initend of storming the craggy heightslof Sierra Gard°, we were sent on an expedition to Tackapalcoitdr horses for the army; and, in the meantime, thie'army moved on in the direction of Sierra Gordci; so that is the reason why we were not in that Memor l able' action, —though, as it happened, if welniti gOne on with rhe army, we would not have ben engaged—we belonging to Gen. Worth's Division, which was not engaged, having been a Mile too late on the battle ground ; and Santa Anna!Making his exit a little sooner than was expected.' There is one city+, that I 'ouglit to mention; as tt is the most enterpriisng city 1 have yet seen in Mexico. That city is Jalapathe first, of any importance, between here and iVera Cruz. The lofty Orizaba adds much to the ;beautiful scenery around it. The city is very ancient, and lies low, —the country around it rising, fall cultivated, till you think yourself in an amphitheatre ; the very clouds sainting around the snowcapped Orizaba— which is one of the most beasOful mountains in Mexico. But we are now in q uebla, far on the advance towards the city of Mtirico, (only eighty miles distant.) When we shale :start from here, I cannot tell. Send me some apers, as I have received none for a long time4ot since last Jan uary. Give my respects to all;enquiring friends. I wish them all the 'enjoyment 41good health, and much happiness; anticipatingthe time when I shall see you all face to face, and mingle with you in-social pleasure and enjoyment. Send me all particulars. Yours, affectionately, 1 TiliimAS DORAN. Cyr"' (a , Mexico, o,e t. 24th, 1847 My Dear Sisfer:--Here la 4 In the Halls of the Montezumas," after some itf the hardest kind of fighting,—through which escaped unhurt, although the balls flew about troy ears pretty fast. But I managed to quke" theni This city is not half as pretty as I expected to find it. I thought it would belt,Paradise; but in- stead of that, it is: a very Mean town ; full of beggars, thieves, and dogs; am by the amount of copper dollars in circulation bete, I think counter feiting is a very good trade. t'do not know how soon we will get borne; but there is no prospect of it yet. I think tve will hate no mere fighting to do. I hm:e no news to tell rou, for everything is dull here. We expect mortT troop every day. Your brother, ' ENqCII G. JAMES. CITT 07 Maxico, act. 27th - , 1b47 Dear Sister :—I wrote to yiou three days ago, , and I now write again ; for lei* you may not get the other. I wrote to mother ;yesterday, and to Finney two days ago; I wrote to you from Puebla, ' telling all about our travels tO that place; and now I will relate all that has happened since. We started from Puebla on the Pith of September , (after staying th ' ere one month ;) and arrived at Buena Vista on the 11 th,—wheie, finding that the main road was strongly fortified at Penon, (about five miles in advance,) we took the road to our left, through Cbalco and 'SO Augustine; and arrived at San Augustine on ,the 10th. On the same day, about 2 o'clock; P. lc they commenced fighting the battle of Contrerai, from the steeple of the Church. We could h4r the cannon roar like thunder, and could see our'gallant little army forming the hollow square, and:repelling an enemy five times their number, wbichhhey gallantly kept in check until dark; and wherfp:ie enemy thought that they had won a victory,Aunng the night, our men surrounded them; and, before breakfast, on the 20th. they were whipped and scattered in every. direction I and four hundred of them taken prisoners. On the 20th, aboitt 3 o'clock, P. M., the battle of Churnbusco was Caught; which only lasted about two hours; when the enemy were defeated, and over one thousand of them taken prisoners: but not without Oat loss on our part also. After the battle, 'Gen. ;Scott granted the Mexicans an armistice, which fasted until the Bth of October. On that day our Regiment was ordered from San Augustine ter San Angel, a dis tance of five or six miles, wheio vie beard of the battle of hfolino del Rey; in which we lost a great many men. On the evening. of the 11411, we started from San Angel, and perched all night, and reached Tacubaya abouc , 2 O'cloCk, on the morning of the 12th, and befog daylight we had built a battery, to bombard tt4castle of Chapul. tepec,—or the Military Colleen Of Mexico. We were kept in a ditch all day, to support our battery ; and the way the grape and canister dew about our ears was not slow. On the, morning of the 13th, we were ordered to storny' the Castle, which we did, under a very heavy,fjre of shot, shell, grape, and canister; and bad . to wade in water up to our waist; but in half an hour the Star Spangled Banner was waving ih,triusriph over the Castle. From the Castle we wilre marched toward the city. On our way, welted to storm two strong batteries, but the Mexicans ke(t mowing us down like grass. This was the hoftest place I have ever been in. The thunder gi the cannon, the roar of musketry, and my comfiades falling around me, made this a day that I netahall forget. 11te were very glad when darkness put an end to the.contlict. During the night, we built breast works to protect us, and planted. two batteries, expecting to have a hard fight . in the morning; and when, at daybreak, we expected our reviellee would be a shower of grape 110 cannister, you can judge of our surprise and pleasure, when we saw two Greasers (Mexicans) 'coming out with a white Sag, who told us that S4l/0 Anna and the Mexican troops, had left the:, town during the night, after spiking all the cannon. So we had nothing to do but march in aid take possession of the city. After we got in, the Greasers kept firing at our-men from the windows, and the tops of the houses all day ; but they ost by that game, it appears; fnr ‘ they did not keep it up the next da a.

Never losing sight of Ithe fact, that, to serve the ' , Freedom I of the Seas," our young public fearlessly defied the power of Great tain, Gen. Cass, MI his diplomatic charact Minister to France and otherwise, was:prom vindicate the Democratic view in the very of the highest dignitaries of Europe. In maintaining tie .democratic doctrine Revenue Tariff, in the Senate, Gen. Cass" nutter& realized the high satisfaction which flows fro exalted and consistetit political course.

The, friends of high protection could not reproachhim. with disappointing their expectations—the advo cates of a judicious tariff policy had no anxiety as,. to which side of the dispute he would finally ake The high tari ff men knew him for a firm but moderate opponent of their views, to whom hey would look for evenhanded justice, but by no 'pps sibility did thsy expect bun to favor their schernesi Their antagonists had no fears that he would aban i; . don his steadily professed principles in any tidier gency. . . We might fill columns in enumerating the rea.:,: sons, why AT would prefer Gen.

But we will not tax your liberality: further, than to mention the important fact that Gen, Cass had fourteenl strength at the opening of the last National Convention, than any other can- didate. Considerations, the wisdom of which have been lutficiently proved.induced the Convenfionto fix upon another for a condidate. But the force of circumstances, which made it necessary that! the claims of Gen. C. should be then postponed, ) has not diminished his high deserts; and his sub sequent services have increased his hold on the affections of the democracy. The best hopes of our party depend on his nomination fur the Presi. dency. And after a calm review of the field on which the next contest into be fought, we honestly state our bumble opinion, that he is." theman" for the hour."

In his capacity as an Alder man, he has not only gained and retained the eon 6dence, esteem and respect of the community, for the able and impartial manner in which he has administered justice between his fellow•citizens, but also by his agility sn the transaction of busi ness connected with our higher Courts of justice, has gained for himself the earnest admiration of every member of the bar, and the highest encomi ums of the several judges. Mr. Mayen :—I find the above named gentle. man presented by "Democracy" in your paper,.for the office of CANAL COMAIIASIONEIL can say , in all truth, that I most fully endorse what has been said; and will add, that in my opinion, the State could not furnish a man better qualified (Cer tainly none snore deserving) for the office. Mr.: Riddle is a plain, upright Democrat, without ott. tentation or display; practical and seltmade; with a mind abundantly stored with the best of infor.i motion, calculated to make him useful and desira-: ble on the public works. The State would be eml inentiy benefited by his strong mind and business' habiterthat well entitle him to the suppOrt and confidence of the people. We take pride in pre.t renting his name as the Western candidate. Old Westmoreland will give us a helping hanks° will Mercer; for we not long since presented one of her. sons. Fayette, grant, Beaver, Washiugten'and Buller, will go with us, and we ask the co-opera. tion of other Western 'counties, in securing a faith , ful officer, who will do good for all. The Eastern portion of the State cannot object to the .-unterri l fied" Democrats of this county having the condi- , date. We look for fair dealing from the party that it is our pride to sustain, and we pledge our, selves to give a good account on the next election day. It is properly observed, that the Democracy, here contend manfully against a host, but our mot to is "fight on." Without counting numbers, we now ask what is justly our due, for faithful services rendered the party, on all occasions; which it is our delight to contend for.

MAYOR': i 'Oar municipal eleitiori is, at hand and the •Eithralists are anxtens to retain Alter friends in I.leffice, r from the honorable post of Chief Magis trate, 'down to that .of scaienger: • One of the Aleral presses, poeliatli• devoted' to the-interests , of: Mayor dicta:as, thinks it would be cruel and un pt st, not to re-elect him for a second term, and ltlie editor of that pridt, with; characteristic India icretion, insults his political friends with the decla. ration, " that,no Mayor has' given more general silisfaction to our citizens." 1 Let Us inquire how matter stands, irrespective of party !At every turn of our street's, the federalists are unequivocal in their denunciations of the !present Mayor; and, as a matter of course, the democrats hive no desire to confide the important and onerous duties of that office on a man who spells cabbage with a K., and is a mere blink, as regards every necessary and essential qualification for thel station vt* Magistrate. Besides, Mr. Adams is to old to attend "night school " for purposes of improve etent. He may be " fearless and faithful," so far as those moral requisitions are required;—but Pittsburgh with a population of over sixty thous. and persons, demands the services of a Mayor who is not only " fearless and faithful," hut efficient, capable, and above the suspicion of converting the office into a Flint Mill to grind the poor, the nerdy, the oppressed, the unfortunate and the county, by wets and finer, of which federalism is not ashamed. The federalists are not willing to permit Mr. Adams to enjoy the exorbitant revenues ol his office for another term. The democrats are resolved to reform the system complained of , by the election of 'a man, whose character in public and private, is ;a guarantee that, under his administration of our municipal affairs, no poor' milli would be oppressed— turcilizen )(erred for meta—aud the administration of tjustice would not be made subservient to the building up of the fortunes of a vain and selfish irMumbent. The citizens, without distinction of political party, have a deep interest in the approaching e. ~ l ection. They are seriously taxed for vagrancy, and othei` misdemeanors; which, under an efficient , UtfiCer as Mayor, would not be the case. Want of 1 judgment—ignorance of the laws ; should recoup. nind no favorite of party for an office so onerous that of Chief Magistrate ,of this city. it is, tliAefore, on grounds of public policy,and in view of? the distinguished capability of HENRY S. .
