HARPER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR _ PITTSBURGH: THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 27, 1848: VOIOE.-.4)/P ALLEGHENY COIINTY FOR PRESIDENT, -JAMES BUCHANAN, Sukject to the deciiimi ef the National Cofarimticm The Democratic National Convention. The Washington tnion of Monday night, Jan. 44th; says ' 4 • 4. e " Infwesting Anoinneiation. 'A. full meeting of the republican members of both houses of Congress was held to-night in the Cdpitol. A report from the joint zommittee of both tibuses, appointed at a iormer n eeting, was made, recommending to the republican party to bold the national convention for the nomina tion of President and Vice President, at the usual time and place—viz: at Baltimore, on the 4iti -Monday in May. Motions were successively , made to substitute Cincinnati as qie place, and the 4th of July as the time of meeting; both of which were fejeeied. • And then the original re. port of the joint committee wai unanimously: adopted; and the meeting adjourned at an early hour in the best feeling and spirits. We ,avoid further details, because at, official account of the proceedings is directed to be published in the dem• I ocratic papers. Iliertineof the Whigs, Iu the Telegraph of yesterday morning, we find call for a meeting of the Whigs, of Allegheny county, friendly to the nomination of H RICH r Cr.A = for the Presidency, to which is appended about a thousand names. The call is for Saturday-even ing next, at the old Court House. It surprised us not a little, to see this call in the Telegraph alone; while there are so many pro fesiedly Whig presses, and adjuncts to that party, in the city. Has either of the other n Whig journals, pursued too questionable a course in reit:- Alan to the war? Has dlr. Brooks, since he has been in Washington, lost the confidence of thr party by defending Hampton, and vouching for his 'soundness ? or, is he too much desposed to fa vor the claims of Gen. Taylor? Intimations of this kind, have been thrown out in certain quar ters, at any rate. And then where acre the MOW. &refs and the piratical conternsovhose influences are expected for the Federal party ? They are supported by that party. Did they refuse to in-. 1 sert the call ? If they did, they are a more aban • doped set than we have beeved them to be. - But we are pleased to se'this manifestation ofl party confidence towards tile Telegraph, at all events. We think it is much more deservedly given than more substantial proofs which are given elsewhere. The Telegraph is not liable, even to a suspicion of charity itself for either the men or the measures of the Democratic party and though we can neither commend or approve the political course of its editor, towards his op ponentsove we at liberty to say, that, in his inter course with his fellow men, his conduct is that at a gentleman. Again we say, we are really plea sed to see that he is the preferred organ of his party; and hope that the do:kr: wit I follow this mark of their preference • Small !lola. A bill has been raised through the House of Delegates of the Virginia cegislature, now in ses sion, authoiizing the Banks of the State to issue notes under the denomiriation of five dollars, and as small as one dollar. 'What astonishes us more, is the fact, that the bill was passed without any op position from either aide of the House—not a voice of condemnation against the iniquitous mea- 1 sure I The bill is now before the Senate, and un less a different feeling prevails in that body, it will certainly pass, and become a law! We believe that no calculation can be made of the evils which _ will result from the passage of such a law in Vir ginia. A bank note currency Is bad enough under any circuinstances,but when the country is Hood ed with one doliar bills,—greasy, filthy, oblitera ted promises to.pay—it is a wrung of the worst species. Farmers, mechanics and laborers, are compelled to take this depreciated trash, for their produce and labor, instead of gold and silver; and while it remains on their hands, the banks proba bly break, and they lose all. And besides all this, ' ' if the Legislature of one State authorises the Banks to issue one dollar bills, it furnishes an er. cuss for other legislative bodies to pursue a similar course of iniquity. We understand that an effort will be made this winter, to pass a similar mess- I ure through the Legislature of Pennsylvania; but we cannot for a moment believe that our Repre sentatives will be so recreant to their trusts--so l krgetful of the true interests of their constituents, or to sanction such a measure by their votes. The man who will have the hardihood to introduce; such a proposition at Hirrisburgh, will only be paving the way for his own political downfall Repeal of the Usury Laws. The following bill has been introduced into our State Legislature : Al ACT RELATING TO Tll k: cacti/ LA WS. Sec. 1. Be it enacted, ifac , That the act of the second of March, 1723, entitled an act for reduc ing the interest of money from; eight to six per eent. per annum, and so much of any other act as is inconsistent with the provisions ot this act be, and the same are hereby repealed Sec. 2. No penalty, or forfeiture shall hereafter accrue in consequence 01 receiving or taking a greater rate of interest than the one half of one per cent. for thirty days, but interest shall always be calculated, unless there is an agreement between the parties for another rate,-at the rate of one half of one per cent. for thirty days; provided, how ever, that no bank, or association with banking privileges,incorporated by this State, shall, either directly ar indirectly, take, charge, receive, or in any manner participate in, any profit, interest, discountor charge for use or loan of money, notes or, credit, at a rate greater than the one half of one per cent. for thirty days,under penalty of forfeiting itseharter; provided, further however, that nothing herein contained, shall prohibit such banks or associations from buying and selling exchanges other than batik notes • Sec 3. Interest upon all payments and recov eries at law or in equity, that carry interest, shall be calculated at the rate of one hall ofone per cent. for thirty days, and no judgment shall be recovered in any court of record or eiswhere, for any greater rate of interest than the one ballot one per cent. for thirty days, nor for interest upon interest, un less an aggreement for such greater rate of interest, or for interest. upon interest, shall have been made _by the parties, and reduced into writing at the time of the agreement, and in no cane shall interest upon interest be calculated oftener than half yearly. We are of the opinion, that this bill •ought to pass.' It seems to make a sufficient provision for all cases likely to arise in ordinary business trans actions; and is, therefore, at least worthy of a tri al. _ havenever been able to perceive the jus. dor Of laws, which go to place a Itmit upon the income from money, while every operation of or dinary trade is left to regulate itself.' Money will romitand irate of interest, at all times, proportion ate to'the demand for it, in defiance of final enact. IE4IIN - end itis therefore better to leave men. free to make their own bargains, rather than have laws upon our statute books, which are being constantly violated. =BE .1\ ; • • •':•j' - '..7 -, " - I.: - .- :.

Lecture 0111 the Commoneriealth. A large audience assembled in Terni)erance Hall, on Tuesday evening, to listen to Mr. -Allen's lee lure upon the American Idea of the Commonl wealth. His statement occupied nearly two hours, and we can gise but a brief sketch of'his remailts: As a nation, he said, we had a pecrpiar mission to perform ; a sublime trust to fulfill t; that it was ours to establish a Perfect Society; si Model Com monwealth, College, and Church ; Society that should guarantee to all, the enjoyment of indu■ trial, social, and religious liberth' and enable' ; them to achieve their terrestrial, intellectual, and moral destiny;—that our past experience, our thought, our legislation had prepared us especially for this work ; and that it was in Oil- power to succeed, if we would but employ the - resources and means that Providence had placed in our hands, It is ours to make society an incarnetion of the . attributes of the Deity. Thee is a Divine Social Code. The Commonwealth must be an exp. - ession , of it. Universal wealth, educational and Social happi ness are not to be realized, in a Nation, by indivi dual moralizing and self perfectioneering, but by perfecting our Social institutions, and making them an expression of the divine law, 'of order and justice. •Seek the kingdom of 'God and hilt righteousness, - seek the Perfect Social Ord er,"and all other things shall be_added unto/you." All the essential institutions of State exist, or may exist, in a single township. Society ts but a repetition of townships. A social and political reform, therefore, instead of - attempting to, lop off the branches of evil, while the Upas trunk remains, should lay the axe it the root of the tree, and de. stroy it trunk and branch. The rauip of the evil should be removed. These, it has klready been shown, exist in the very structure of Society, and, that poverty, ignorance, crime, opprelsion, are the legitimate results of our false institutions—the manifestation of "Organic" Sins The needed reform is to be achieved, therefore, / by the Organization of the Come:dame or the i 'l • ownship, upon the principles of thee divine So.' cid! order. A model Commonwealth, School and Church es!ablished in a single Towiship, would do for the whole of Society, what the invention of the steamboat by Fulton has done :for Navigs.i Lion ;—it would furnish a pattern u,hiCh would be' repeated in every other Township of ;the Nation . l The refo.in required is constructivi and peace• ful. It should not destroy; but supercede. Many individuals have thought that no refotin could be effected till every thing that has come down to us from the past is abolished. They see that governments abate their power, that sects are nar row, persecuting arid corrupt, that th e school if partial, and fragrnentnry, that money is abused, and turned into an engine of oppression, that mar riages are mercenary awl selfish, In short that all of our institutions are cap thie of imiversion, and instead of attempting to perfect them, they raise the cry of destruction, "no govern ment, no church. aoiehool, no money, no tnarriage, no meat, no salt, no pepper, &c.•' till they discon nect themselves with society, tear.olf the social vesture, and even their b.b and long clothes, and socially become naked and hungry. ' Reform is not an eternal "No." Even selfi-hiness should not be abolished, but be exercised in harmony with so end lo've, made to aid society in the same ratio that it satisfird itself Communism end civilization are tbe'cuniact of extremes, the one based on common property; the other common plunder, and both are destructive of inditidual rights, both render man laildless and depeudent. The tendencies of the times are towards the soc,al occupancy and use of real estate, and of all the sources of wealth. The Feudalism of the individual, existing in the form of the pa ; trooney and the plantation, are being ifuperceded by the Corporate Feudalism. Joint.stock property, under the form of the ! Special Charter, the Trustee system, and the Firm, is being introduced for the management of all branches of business, works of public con venience, and industrial operations. No protest against corporate monopolies, no system of in.l dividualisin, no destructive democracy can resist! this tendency of the age to united interest and effort. Industrial Unity is an ordination of Heaven. The corporation is not objectionable because it is a corporation, but because labor and skill are not admitted into the union with capital, and dividends declared to each according to the law of distributis4 justice;—because it gives the exer. I rise all power to capital, denies to the operative a voice in the control of his industry ; and the election of his overseer, or adviser, makes him a mere "hand," and subjects him to the tyranny of a corporate despotism; and because the . corpora. tion, in its present form, like the law of primp. geniture, gives to wealth the attribute of immor. tality, pays eternal usury, alter the things used, the machinery, the improvements, the "dried labor " that are represented by certificates of fork, shall have perished. These evils are not, however, essential ele ments of corporate action. And they are to be corrected, not by a system of destruction i but by making them democratic, by admitting labor and skill into fellowship with capital, and causing the corporation to do for each of these elenlents of production, %stuat in times past it has dime for but one. • :2orporations are inverse Associations. ' If the operatives could own their moti se power add ma chinery, manage their own business, choose their industrial chiefs, and share in the dividends ac cording to the capital, labor, and skill that each had invested, no reasonable man would olject to them. They would not be monopolies, nor des potisms, nor enrich capital at the expense of labor. In the true Commonwealth, the Firms or Unions that are now partial in their results, will become unit ersal in their providence. All intereats will converge. Agriculture, manufactures, domestic industry, science, and the mechanic and fine arts, will be placed upon the same footing of equality , the idea of the unity of labor, of the equal .value of functions will be recognized, and each inilivid• ual will show in this result, in proportion to his contribution of capital, labor and skill.

The mother exerted her utmost pother to bold the child, and to keep, ita arms and fingers straight. Mr. Keely was called from the stand, and placing his hands gently on either aide of the child's head, said to it, "fix your eyes on mine," and then Mildly assuring the little fellow that "co Soon as he (Mr K.) should count two, he would be perfectly restored, fed pleasant, and as well as he ever Was " The little sufferer fixed his eyes confidingly on Mr.K., as much as to say, " I believe you, sir."
