The "universal Whig party" appears to be in al most singular predicament. They have so. many . lovely patriots, aspirants to the Presidency, among them;that they find it difficult to fix their affec tions for any great length of time upon any of them. They have been coquetting so long with Mr-Clay, that he begins to think' they will ahan non him altogether, audit vrouid seem there is no othir man upon,whom they can unite, with any 1- , expectation: of making a happy match. In some ' ' neighborhoods, they thiniithe most eligible match' can be made with Judge McLean; but he will not - . suit the great mass of the party. A considerable „portion of them are kir uniting *hempelves to Gen. - ~ T aylor, and on this they have determined, with all the resolution of those who adopt marriage as a 16 . tut resort. There are many objections to this.— ” "He is not known to be a Whig," says one. "He is snout and out Whig, and a little more" is the X reply. "Reis too violent a Whig; the people IA ill mot - vote for him if they know it," says another.— *Stop, (says one,) he has written a letter "to the jos. R. Ingersoll, in which be says himself ' tbat-hr is a Whig, but not an ultra one!" "That _. ‘ ini not do; (says still another,) be must not be of any party. Let us have ano party candidate."— ..1 1 Will never vote fora no party man. We contend i f'cir principles; and if he is not a thormigh Whig, I • will stay at home — replies a Whig of long stand * . int. , "That is just what I will do, (says one who - helped to roll and drink barrels of hard cider, and rit to entry coon skins in 1840.) If he is not a Whig • out and our he shall not have my vote. We bad I; enough of your non committal men when we ••„Selected Tyler!" Thus runs the eii nversation at any -considerable meeting of "good Whip." Should you get into the midst of another coterie of these gentlemen, you will hear—" Well, gentle. min, I triton to go for Clay 'at all hazards.' He has slob! by -us on all occasions. It is the last • time that we may have a &nee of showing our devotion to him ; and it is a disgrace to our patty to think of any body else. If Mr. Clay is not our - eand:dete,•we must be beat ; and I go for the man to beat the Loco Focor.” "Then you don't go for Clay, (says one.) Ile has always been beaten, and priiii will be. lam tired of voting for him. 1 lien we are doomed to be beat v ith him, when .... ever we nun him." "Come, come, gentlemen, (says is young hotspur,) let us drop.all our old men, and come out with one who is all Whig! We know .., '.that we have been opposing the war, and this has been no advantage to us. Cliiy opposes it. So dries Webster So do all our old men. We don't know any thing about Taylor, only that he is • - . negro trader, and as much in for it about the war 'is any one else. •So let us go for Scott. He is a - northern man, and a true Whig; and be is hated by Polk and all,the Loco Focos. We can elect ..bign." Such are a few nipples of the kind of feeling prevailing among the " Whigs "all over the coun try ; and it is not to be wondered at. The youngl men among them, (who have neither bad the time nor the opportunity to make politica a part of their study,) are yet endowed with a good share of patriotic feeling. They bare got it into their heads that the war has originated in some error, lir wrong; but, they are disposed to stand by their country. They find, truly, ttat all their old leaders are bitterly and uncompromisingly against the country; and they therefore wish to rally upon some one who cannot be justly charged with op. position to the war—knowing that the war is popular; and that the men who are now arrayed - :against it will be as odious to the country, twenty years hence, as were the friends of England in the - war of 1812. They are therefore willing to take Gen. Taylor, Gen. Scott, or any other man, (cape. Bally, if he bar not been prominently identified -' with their party movements for come years past,) who is not obnoxious to the charge of hostility to the war. Many of the leaders at Harrisburgh I•Alave organized in favor of Gen. Scott; several of those at Philadelphia favor the claims of Gen. Taylor ; while the principal portion of those at Washington are for Clay. The nen-committal portion of the party are loud in their cries , fur Taylor. "Let him write no more letters; He is a good enough Whig," say they. These are di!' • gentlemen of principle according to their interne. broken down, discarded politicians:who wish • to humbug the People, in the hope that they may thereby be enabled to get a share of the " spoils ;', end these are pretty generally backed by the un thinking and illiterate portion of the "Young Whigs:" Scott's friends are of the old Federal stamp, who look upon him as the only really avail , atilt Mall upon whom they can sally; and as he has gained muck . distinction in Mexico, they make no anti&'estimate of the effect which this cir --entristance would have upon the minds of the People. : The friends of Mr. Clay are confined to ; thetruly chivalrous end devoted members of the Federal contend for him because he • has bOrne the storms, and endured the toils of ma ny !bug .ctittipaigna, in sustaining their principles. • The'y knoW:ltini to to unwavering; and are wit ling to rest his _claims with the people—in deli ante of the many verdicts which the country has given against him. They are unquestioeably con efetent;"fied, in thus contending for Mr. , Clay, give a better evidence of honesty, and of moral courage, than . the . weather-cock professors of . V 1 gey v •lniko are willing to take the sit'e of /layman whose banner there might be presented s a fetbichope of ; triumph. • - While the Federal party are this divided, we yeistee to see that our party friends in every,State, „„k i agcept flank-riddenand impracticable New York) are united.

Recent Decisions of the Supreme Court. The abstract, in about thirty pages, furnished by James S. Craft, Esq., Of the Pittsburgh:Bar i :of three months' Decisions of the Supreme Court,l : - (embracing the License Queitiolt and . the Quo Warranto case against the President Judge of the - 10th Judicial Distriet in all, abOutninety'Cases,) we are pleased to state is now fOr sale, in patripit t let-form,. by Kay &moo. This attempt to afford reports of the decisions of our High Court, and prothulgate the law of the land, emanating from it, as soon as pronounced, has been received with marked approbation. If it was characteristic of one of the most cruel of Roman tyrants, that his ediitts were bung in small letters above the reach of the vision of his subjects, it is, strange that a republic should suffer the decrees:of her Judiciary to be buried beyond the reach of the profession d the people, for months after their oral delivery from the Bench. The history and progress of the u Abstract is thus given by its author, in a note' addressed to the profession: • The furrowing" ABSTRACTS "I Were attempted, for the preservation in my own Common place Book, pf the Points decided by the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh, during the tedious. interval which precedes their official advent. The editor of the - Morning Poe," recently of the Ohio bar, sug gested that similar syllabi of the decisions of that State, in advance of the full Reports," had been ,useful there to the profession and the people, and requested permission to publish them. From that paper they were transferred to the "Gazette," and several others, both west and east, and were even selected as muitum in parvo by several country weeklies. As their publication progressed, many of my brethren expressed their' regret that they could not procure the entire series, which is no supplied In evidence of the value of fresh legal intelli. genre, it was remarked by the learned counsel, who was concerned in the ear sit resistance made by his clients to the payment of the club bill for the " Tippecanoe Supper of EIGHTEEN Fower," (Eichbaum vs. Irons, iValts Sergeant, which they were compelled to foot for- the abide party, that the recovery was effected by the soli tug uncontested testimony of the nominal plaint: ' iff and assignor, AI -credible gentleman certainly, but one wholly incompetent under the decision of Post re.

Why may Wel not curtail the delay hitherto demanded, before rei can feast on the latest exarnPhs of the piercing acumen and profound legal-logic, which is con- 1 ceded to our Court in the last:resort, as honorstias I to the prophets of old, less cordially in their ogni country, than in every other State of the The learned author of the Treatise on Exeeu e.: tors, also expresses his opinion, t• That the ion. tinuacce of those abstracts mould be a valuable acquisition to the profession., The pamphlet cob. tains the pith and marrow of several months of the intellectual labor of the Supreme Judges, and it would be difficult to find elsewhere, within the compass of as many pages, go much matter im portant to the Penney tvanio lawyer, or citizens in general."' A distinguished Philadelphia annotator writes, " That he has been inclined, for some time past, to exclaim - with Macbeth, 'lilting me no more re ports, and he hails with a sense of much Belief, the appearance of an Abstraet and brief chrimicle of Judicial Dicto e Gesto, Which will be eagerly sought for, in anticipation of!the official volume. The art of reading in short hand, which ; Mr. Craft happily illustrates, will be of great edificatioh to the profession." An eminent eastern Judge certifies, that is a very interesting little book,' and so well lone; and so well filled to be useful. that I do sincerely hope the author will pursue the plan, and persuade others of the bar, by his example, to offer similar sketches of what is doing in all the Courts. As to most of the decided questions, we want nolhing more ample; and as to all, the promptness of such a scheme of repohing, will always give it value with the profession." Mr. Harper:—lt is very strange to us is the country, that Pennsylvania is for ever pestered with disappointed office holders, who wish to pass for politicians of importance abroad, and resort; to every means to make the impression that theyean influence a large portion of the people ;—but to those acquainted with the- politics of this State, their presumption is extremely ridiculous—for their I personal disappointments affect themselGes only; —and it would be much better Tor. them if they would keep in their grief for themselves.- for the Democracy are governed by principle; end thel more those men grumble; the greater the exertion of the masses, to convince. them that, vilhen the party have once settled on their candidate; in coun ty, district, or State Convention, those would•be leaders must drop in with the rank and file of the Democracy, or join the opposition—as suits them best; for it is of but little consequence to the party what side they take: And, I will here mention a few facts, in expla. - dation of this position. it is well kno,n that, when J. A. Soutaz was first put in ..n nitration', for Governor of this Suite, that his competitor. Barak, of Lancaster, made pitiful lamentations about the unfairness of the; proceedings of, the Con vention ; but as littlebeeded; and Rs evidence that the Dem cared nought about his per sonal disappoi , they rallied at once, and elected SIM LTZ by 2 , 00 majority—and ge elect ed him witboat c,ppositiOn ; 'and,notwithstanding those reps avors, thie.samealrverhor `Slut LTZ, forgetting a Was only one of the plty, and presumin appointing patronage, (for the Constitutialllkt that time , gave him the power of appointing all the Judget, Prothonotarie.s, Regis ten, Recordik, Clerks of the Courts,,Justices of Peacq,&c.,kc ,) and - considering himself ona nipote,:t. undertook to play hide•and-go seek with the enveteigui, by attending a Jackson and Adams celebration at ga i Tisburgli, onthe someday; and when the people talked of curtailing his constitu tional term three years, in consequence of his double dealing, ~they were laughed at by tip retain ers, yam considnsd him invincible, with his army of office holders. But the people went to work in their own way, and elected delegals,,with instruc• tone against him—'eaving him only 15 out of the 133 that composed lir State Convention—Thereby showing that they - Fad the power to unmake us well as snake great men. As another evidence that the Democracy of this State will unite on the regular nominee of the party, it matters not bow fierce and bitter our contentions may be amongst ourselves relative to men, the reader may recollect that, whenPsonee Wins. was nominated, after !Meg days balloting, and under the greatest possible excitement, the Derinocroey again made a united rally, and gave him over 26,000 majority, ardb, reelected him without opposition. . Also, the fierce, ohlintile and bitter ciintest be tween the friehds of the:much laments Muhlen burg and Sbunk, must befresh in the metkiories of all; and, to those unacqUainted with our political squabbles, it would seem almost impostiite, that our differences could be reconciled; but Ye less than three weeks, our :Democracy united, end were ready for the fight; and would have elected Muhlenburg by a triumphant majority, but Prov idence disposed of him otherwise ' and !eft us to M 1 • mourn Imi—end, in a few weeka t : after the !death of this good and treat man, we beheld the i very tame men who had fought so hard 'god bitterl egaimeSetirw", re-assernide in, State 06rivention anknorifinite Abe N*l7 man who they tad opp o: sea t awl defeated a. fevi weeks before ; and the 7.r1:" Democracy at mice Jillied and' elected him by thousands; thereforethe . abiarditi of, a few croak crA talking about the ;divisions in Pennsylvania ~ d pers t ing against the nominee of the 4th March 'Convention. It may do for ndog in the manger" Politicians to play this small game; but no man of honor or common iense,,who !understands the "Democracy, of_ the a Old Keystone," could for Moment entertain ..so' foolish — A ihringht, And, however cunning thine men may be, in trying to conceal their motive of action, the "bumps" of personal disappointment are so boldly prominent, that no man can mistake them'. - - AN .OLD DEMOCRAT. Br TEIT. YARD —Thee, Police Committee are 'hooded with petitions for places on the watch. We understand that they bave determined not, to devote time to a study of the names appended; as they are so numerous that the atiempt would be vain. To make quick work, they have procured a yardstick, with which to measure - the petitions —promising that he who.will have the greatest number of yards, will be the most worthy of con 1 suleration and promotion.. The characters of the signers amount to nothing ; personal influence will go but a short way on a petition for watch. man; the quantity is all important. , This is a new phase in the right of petition doctrine which has so much agitated tbecountriesof Christendom, of late years; and is perhaps as fair as the old plan of counting names, and calculating the influ ence, wealth, &c , of the petitioners.. Witivit's BAno Soraxx.—The magnificent ar rangements' now making by the respectable and energetic managers of this Ball, which is to come off on Thursday evening next, warrant its com plete success in all respects. Particular care has been, and will be taken to exclude improper per sons. Ladies of the higheat respectability may attend Itvithout compromising character. We are glad that such a Ball has been gotten up, as it will afford many of both sexes an _opportunity to enjoy the dance under circumstances in every way pleasurable and delightful. cci. We observe a pablished. letter of Mr. Van A mringe, dated Madison, Wisconsin, Dec. 30, in which be states that he has lectured btfore the Constitutional Convention, but does not appear sanguine as to the' result of his labors.. He says that he is about to leave Wisconsin, and wend his way to Cincinnati. We ihall be pleased to see the honest old man again; be has numerous friends in this city and county. INTROOCCTOXY evening Mr Spencer gives his introductory in Philo Hall.— The notices of his arrival in this city have caused quite s buzz already in certain circles, and we dare assert that the Hall will be crowded this evening with as fine an audience as ever assembled within its walls. Mr. S. has no "subject" with him persons upcin whom he operates are taken from the audience. If Mr. S. performs half that is claimed for him by his friends in other cities, he will certainly excite the wonder of our citi zens. He presents some new phases: ATTIMPT TO KlLL—Officer Fox, of the Inde pendent Police, arrested a man named Reynolds,: who lives in the Ninth Ward, on Saturday, on a charge of assault and battery, with intent to kill. A creditor of Reynolds having called upon him for his money, R. requested him to go out with him, and he would get it. Vey started, and when they reached the Soho Bridge, Reynolds pulled out a pistol and attempted to take the life of the person with him; failing with the pistol, be drew a knife and wounded him in the arm.— Dispatch. The above is the substance or an account of a certain transaction drat is said .to have occurred in our city. The Independent Police officers en quired of us yesterday about it; they think it strange that one of them shoulithave been an ac tor in a scene about which he c4lii have no recoi -1 ection.

How many persons are there that put off from time to time pro curing a suitable medicine, until the disease begins to assume a serious character, when in all proLa bility they are past the power of medical aid.
