Two.long, long ycara!-r- Two years seem an eternity to wait upon the eve of to delay a happy consummation. JuUa?k lather was a wealthy shipping merchant, residhtgin the port of Charleston, South Carolina. Some old. inhabitants remember the firm of Hallo well and Haddington. • He was an uprialitand high ly honorable man-—but whose ipsedixit was law su preme.:whcrever his.power could be exercised. Robert Moultrie was a clerk in the countingrooin, and his salary? which was his sole dependence, thoogh.far aboye the pittance generally allowed to young- men simiTarly situated, amply sufficient to wamtat his assuming the expenses of a family, did noteU&vate him to that importance in society, which, would justify him in .presuming upon the hand and i heart of ;tbetUughter of the wealthy shipper. The character of this young gentleman was unim peachable } and he wasas much respected for his talents, for bis correct deportment? but (fr«f is-a wicked word) the curse ofGehaxa was upon him—Arina* posr / Robert had been in the countingroom of Mr.Hal lowellsincc he; was fourteen years of age. He had grown up in the lamily, and by the side of this love ly heiress,- who had been promised to a thing of wealth and show.. That thing was in the Indies, amassing riches to lay at the feet of his bride, but his soul had on it the stain of dishonor, and Julia , had Towed.befbre her God, that the would never be ; h.swifo. Mr. Hallowell knew that Robert general- 1 ly attended hisldaughter to church and that he wept! and came with jher when she visited her acquaintan- I ces, aitd 'to on;; but* he never dreamed that die wily \ Cupjd was. twitching his darts successfully into the bosoms- of both; and the arrows of the little god were firmly fixed, , and he dealt out the silken cord until they were far out Upon the sen of love, too far to.proceed or return without each other. <4 oo.tcll me* Kobfert, Wfcat is the matter with you. I have been a witness to* your downcast, looks and sorrowful appearance, until I have become melan choly myself: What’s the matter, boy ?” Tuts question was asked by Mr. Hallowell, one day when Robert and. himself were in the counting room alone; and if anyindividual has ever passed a fiery trial, he can have some idea of Robert’s feel inga when the very man whose daughter be loved so well, was contriving the best plan to learn from him the secret cause of his unhappy appearance, and addressed him in such a kind and affectionate lan guage. It went too deep, however, into the reces ses bosom, for him to return an imme diate-reply. Mr. Hallewel), however, plainly saw a something upon his mind that made him unhappy, wished, if possible, to remove the cause, be; he urged vi candid revelation of-oH that affected his feelings, and promised him his assistance to relieve him, whatever it might re quire. - Robert succeeded, bewever, in putting him off that time, -and trembled at the thought. When, . at thairnext meeting, he related the matter to Julia. ** I thought,” said she, laughing, “ you were not eo anxious to ask the old gentleman as you appear edtobe. Now that was a stumper. Why did you not tell him ?Why did you not! Ha, ha, ha p* ? 4> Jdlia, do -you think he suspects ?” £ Net a whit more than does the King of the French ?” H-Well Julia, to tell the truth of the matter, I left this mormng with the intention of telling him alb about ourafiectioos for each other; and if he refused, I determined to act for myself, without further ad vice? but when I came before him, I felt something in my throat as if I was choaking, and I could hardly talk to him on 1 business matters, much less on love affairs.” The lovers continued to meet often; and there torn of her other admirer from the Indies b» ing soon expected, it became necessary that they should pre • pare .for the trials that seemed to await them; in short, b(r. Hallowell was endeavoring to ascertain the. cause of Robert’s apparent unhappiness, more from good feeling towards the young man himself, thul for the Unimportant mistakes mode by him in his accounts. , The next opportunity that offered, he repeated his former question, and insisted upon an immediate reply. Robert stanimered and stuttered a good deal, be fore he could answer, but at last he did say “ Why, sir, l am much attached to a youg lady of this city, and have reason to believo she is equally attached* to me, but there is an obstacle in the way, and—” “ Ah,indeed l,...jynd does the obstacle amount to over ddflars ?

By the powers of love, he.:must be an old Turk-—he won’t, hey? Here giyerae his name. I’ll soon settle the matter. But stop, has he got any thing against you? Does he know me?”- , ’ Here the old gentleman went over a string of questions which Robert felt no disposition to answer, and whicb is not jvorth our white to relate. The conclusion of the conference left Robert in the pos session of a check for a thousand dollars, a letter of iatroductidn to Parson Green of the Presbyterian . church, and the following advice from the tips of his father-in-law in perspective. He was to run away with the girl, to use Mr. HallowcU’s carriage and the black waiter, Gcorgo was to drive them, and so forth.' Robert governed hlmselfin strict accordance with u the advice .given? and before dark the parties'* were before Parson Green, whose scruples of conscience were quieted by the introductory letter. They were soon pronounced husband and wife, and jumped into ~ the carriage, followed by the blessing of the parson, whose fee was a smalLpart oi the thousand dollar .check.

The course or the .Federal ]ia iicongreiis, is 'veil calculated to excite profoim tftljelrrtton, arouse, in the mind of every 'rue] patriot,feelings of the deepest indignation.* Hsviig a clear majority in the House of Representatives, siri which all ap propriations must originate,} have consumed .two months of the seKsion, in iniikj#gspeeches ‘‘.for Buncombe,” villifying the gon ir:i! administration ; giving “ aid and comfort ” to thjij Mexicans ; and trying to convince the People l>a 'they are actuated by motives of patriotism. But alfjthis labor might have been better dispensed w ri 5 for their acts in by-gone years, and their pres< n jjeourse, bear toe close an analogy to leave any dotftt upon tbemjnds of the reflecting portion of the r s;ouiilrymen ; and they can only bo looked upon a fcnemics of their country. j • • Congress "as informed by tie l President, at the opening of the session, that thc-prj uptitude of their action upon the necessary apprbp Nation bills, would powerfullyjiffect tlie interests] <) the country; by aiding in securing to us that pcaVe, which all pro fess to desire; and to ensurej ufich, all the mea sures of the administration fea j: been faithfully directed. Every gcticral officer, ftVery subordinate, every private soldier, who hasj returned, to give an account to his countrymen of |ih state of affairs in Mexico; every letter that has liebl writteu, alluding to the subject, has plainly that body, that c very moment otVdelay on out- pi 't, amFevery sen timent uttered in denunciation o£our government, by our citizens, was only cafctjlaicAd to awaken the almost suspended energies ot ftlftiico, and add to tlie length of our struggle for jl&ticc at the hands of her government. Ail this known to the Federal leaders. The blood o * tab'.brave men who fell at Monterey, at Buena Vist:, ||d on every subse quent field, calls to them; prom;>it| to assert the hon or of their country, aud pro:jec£ the lives of their countrymen, and their comilni’shj oterests, —butall these calls, ail the warnings giic# living; all that the dead and wounded for,—-all is disregarded, in.the base and cb*U'!mptible effort of demagogues, to cheat thcpeopje,|y defaming faith ful public officers, and establish}!g. themselves in power/ ! j| We could accord to the Ked-erii" -leaders honcstv of purpose, (eveu though we jbdC eved them to be in the wrong,) if their owncojurjAi did not forbid it. Their acts,* at the com cement of the war, showed them to be influc >ctf I by the moat un manly, unprincipled consideration 1 alone ; and their whole subsequent course has be?en in ar.cordancc with tliat which they thenassun eaj They professed, then, to believe that the fcar ra have been avoid ed by our government; and ;hat| it was wantonly forced upon us, in violation of mp constitution and laws of the country. Now ifliiiaijad been the case ; if they had believed for a monemthat the war was not a just one on our part, there Wras but one course for them to pursue, as honest mtejj; and that course was, at every step to oppose its 1 progress, by every means in their power, as the rofecsenfcuivea of the people; and by no act of thiilw, in any way, to sanction, or give the color of a slijctum, to it. In stead of doing this, what wa* mfeir course f They reviled the administration ; aasfcjited that the chief magistrate had involved us iu]wjij| ; pronounced the war unjust and uncont-tituulurtaii ; and then—did whatl—voted against it in cviryj.wiy—igainst sup plies, against money to carnj ij“on,and to refuse men to engage in it 7 No. J- hi* 1 did none of this. Their votes were not neccskri> m order to pass the bill for enlisting men, ckiljrtig out volunteers, providing them with arms, wijtb clothing; and with supplies. A Democratic mnjjo jjly in both Hourcs of Congress were ready to all these; and their conscienrcs (?) were m|t Required to be out raged, by so revolting a vottj. jjjiit, notwithstand ing such was the fact, they jlicl^vbtc—that the war existed by the acts of A/rxiro},— was not, there fore, an unjust or an unconditional war, waged by the Executive of our coujtrjjj;} —they Toted for money to carry on the war; pnjdjfor men to engage in it. Could there be more base or shal low attempt men thbyiijuieinpt to excuse themselves before the People, tfjr- their opposition to the war; and scok to prosfcr; jj» the friends of the administration, for sustaining $t f The history of our country affords no parallel $ it. Leaving Congress, at the clokAofthc last session, many of them were t<£go aga n before the People, and to present their c ajims for re-election l Induing this, few, very few, nr^jhemdared to make opposition'lo the war, a gr»ujjl upon which they claimed the popular support !•] Indeed, in more than one State—in more than two, or a half dozen States, —they either made entity different issues, to suit the peculiar local prejudges of their consti tuents,— shunning this issue— lor they strove to con vince the People, by a rcfoeittce to their votes in Congress, that ‘‘Whigs” tndjijthc honor ol their country at heart! By such tatfjees as these, they ; succeeded in securing a ban dtitjority in one House of Congress; but having lli s ftnjijnrity, they now have the power to control thj|[; Operations of the Government. They have v jo their power to re strain the actions of tlie governmen*; to economise in their own body, by acting promptly in accordance with their avowed belief iri eMion to the war; and by throwing the responsib:lijj of all the wrong, (which they assert has beer d||jie) upon the chief magistrate and his political friends; and this, —ns j men who regard truth, and ujfijo.believe what they have so often asserted-;b sy are bound to J do.

They havQ*arrogated to themselves powers not granted by their constituents; and in so doing, have butraged the feelings of the Whig party, and trifleii-with its organization. They have, in our opinion,' by this act, virtually vacated their office, and should resign their places. But this they will not do; and it may become a serious question with the Whig ffiend* of Gen. Taylor, whether they will not immediately elect a new General Committee which will conde scend to perform the duties required of them, in stead of dictating to the Whig pa ty whom they shall advocate for the Presidency.” ; Proprietor.

HousToif at the Ist* War meeting in New 1 ork, came formard a second time at the re quest of the officers of the meeting, for the-, purpose of refuting certain allegations that had been fre quently made, relative to Gen. Jackwh*** policy on the subject of the annexation of Texas. • . He said I deem it due to the nation—due to. to the memory of a great man—due to the American* Gorernmi'nt—and due to mvself as an individual, whether humble or not, to put this matter ?ta rights. It has been to the American • nation— it has been published* in European papers, that l went to Texas agreeable to the withes of General Jackson, for the purpose of producing a resolution, and eventually bringing about tho annexation of that country »o the United States; and were it not con tradicted, the character of one, who«e name can never be mentioned without awakening admiration, and inspiring reverence, for the brilliancy of his genius, ancTfervor of his patriotism, might possibly be viewed in an unfavorable light. With'regard this subject, I would state that l had no for going to Texas, beyond that of seeking a home. I was directed thorn by viciiitudes; but lacing asso ciated with the American race, when thill country was oppressed, l bared my breast to the enemies of liberty. Well, Texas became free and independent; but further, I cover corresponded with Gejt. Jackson from 1832 up to the dav that Texas wait free, and ho never aided us, but by his prayers: hnd surely this did not look iii-e couutvance, or any<conccit of action fof the motives attributed to him. 1 ? Ido not say, however, fellow-eiUxeus. that it was a com pliment to myself, to say that he lookeef upon me with kindness. Gen, Houston, after parsing a cu* logium upon tho character of (Jon.

Mr. IIARPcn : In your paper of Tuesday morning there is a communication’in which tjle following sentence occurs : j “ In the old Wards, under present arrangements and feelings, the wealthy citizens will endeavor to make the common schools mere pauper school;. i,r . In the sentence quoted, as well as in other sen tences nut quoted, 1 think your correspondent has done injustice to the public schools -and to the wealthy citizens of the old Wards. If the future can be judged by the past, your correspondent has no grounds lor saying that “the wealthy citizens (of the old Wards) will endeavor to make the common schools mcro pattper schools.” Having served a* a Director in the Second and Fourth Wards, I may be supposed to have some knowledge of the public schools hrtheso two Wards. From this personal knowledge, I assert that the wealthy citucßsXks well os the other citizens of the WarifoJ have n Jfcr hesitated to vole any additional tax asked.for by the Directors, for the improvement of the public schools. Last year an additional tax of over $2,000 Was raised without objection, in the Fourth Ward, for the purpose of erecting an addition to the School House. I may also here state that, lasbyear, anid dition to the school tax was granted by .a unanimcftis vote of the citizens of the Third Ward* The wealthy citizens of the old Wards not only submit cheerfully to taxation for the support of tjbe public schools, but they send their them. If your correspondent will take the troufrlo to visit the public schools in any of Wards, he w ; JI see the children of the wealthy,sitting Ale by side with the children of the poor, and pursuing the some studies. r ~ The wealthy citizens of the old Walds have Be come satisfied that their children will be better taughtinthe public, than in select schools. Hence, they prefer the former to the When our wealthy citizens wish to have their children pursue studies not taught in the public schools, they are compelled, then, to have recourse to select'schools and colleges. t I wish, with your correspondent, that vve had a High School in our city, in which the higher branch es should be taught free to all. I would -not, how ever, make school taxes uniform throughput the city.

Sir Allen Vere of Tweed. Mr. Haber: There is Rn inaccuracy in your pa per of yesterday. You have given me credit frr an amount of benevolence to which 1 have no claim. The circumstances were these : On Monday a col ored man complained to me that another col. ored man, whose family had not the means to him, had been laying dead for tome days ; that ap plication had been made on Saturday, and subse quently to the Guardians, who had refused to have him buried, alleging that it was incumbent upon the Collector of the Port; who, in turn, denied the lia bility. I went to the office of the Guardians, whete I was told by Mr. Brush that the case had been con sidered, aud that the Guardians would not do any thing, because that the deceased had been a boat man, and had receipts for hospital dues; aud that 'MrsGuthrie had offered but $6, which was insuffi cient. I then went ‘.o Mr. Howard, and told him of the emergency. He ut once assented to the neces sity and propriety of immediate action by the Guar ding, and accompanied me back, to the office, with tharview. Col. Ross directly Carnc in, and Mr. How ard-suggested that, although they were not on the Executive Committee, they should take the respon sibility of directing their undertaker to bury the de ceased, but Col. Ross promptly declined to do so. Upcfnthisl said that I would, as a magistrate, take the responsibility of giving such directions, and im mediately did So telling the undertaker to coil upon Mr. Brush as to the opening of the grave, &c. The same evening a hill was presented to me for these iuneral expenses; but that there is nnyso rious intention to make me pay it, I do not believe. R. MORROW. Upon the continent, matters still rest pretty much as they A ero. The good Pope is progressing (God bless him,) with his views of liberal reform and Austria seems disposed, reluctantly, to permit him te £ave own way. Tho latest accounts from the “ eternal city ” tell us that the “propria motu of the Pope, on the organization of the municipal and. tne senate of Rome has just been publisheu.” The following brief extract from the poniiticial doc ument will show', that unless ” words are given te a man to conceal lus thoughts,” the old n\au ? sj(earl is really in tho business: . j.J ‘Y-..T% “ And if it be sweet to us to extond ate solicitude over all our dear subjects, still mo(c happy to manifest it to tho Romans, whom wc have continually before our eyes, and who do not cease to give, with extraordinary constancy, new and excellent proofs of their filial respect .o our sacred persons. }Vhatwus especially important, and, what we think must be a subject of publie joy was to restore to this ancient splendor of communal representation, by according to it a deliberative council; a body of magistrates charged to causc r its deliberations to be executed, and revenues propor tioned to the charges which it has to sustain. It caused joy to our heart to occupy ourselves with such a project, and wc are not alarmed at the grave difficulties whicn unfortunately checked our prede cessors where they undertook the task.” %hese are gratifying proofs of the progress ofso ciaLand political enlightenment. Time was when one of the successors of St. Peter would nothave to make such a movement on the liberal side. The importance of the present reform may be fudged of from the brief details. The council is to-bo composed of one hundred members, of whom sixty-four are to be landowners, Unity-two bankers, merchants, or members of liberal profes sions, or colleges, or scientific, literary, or wUstic institutions ; and four are to represent the clergy and charitable establishments. From what helios already done it is quite clear that the Liberals of all countries have reason to expect still greater things from Pope Pius.lX.— Phtla. Spirit qf the Times, ttST The Mitmtippian publishes a letter from Hon. R. J. Walker, to R.

She called for aid, but none came in time to save the building, which was burned to the ground. She was in a dangerous situation yesterday morning, and hardly expected to live. The motive which prompted the fellows to com mit such a fiendish outrage is not known. Officers were in pursuit of them yesterday. Some persona were suspected ; but there was no certainty. An alarm of fire was raised, but the companies did not reach the place. The burning made but little light. -r*The officers returned last evening without ma king any arrest. Four persons are suspected—for whom warrantswere issued. The life of tho woman was despaired of last even ing. VVe heard that the physicians had given her U P- * % ; •• We did not learn the names of the perpetrators* Hudson's Panorajia.— For a long time we thought this Panorama was a Hoax j on account of the quiz ical notices bestowed upon it by the Cincinnati pa pers. We-find, however, by reference to the fol lowing article from the Louisville Democrat, that Mr. Hudson may be expected in this city in a few days. Next week he will probably open for exhi bition. From the Louisville Democrat. Hudson's Great Panorama of the Hudson River has just closed a most successful run of three weeks. It goes hence to Pittsburgh, where we bespeak for it a reception equal to its great merit, as a work of art. It has received the approbation of the most ulentetl landscape painters in the West. And dur ins its stay of five weeks in Cincinnati, was visited by upwards of 35,000 persons. Most of the schools both there, and in this city, have visited it; and from i*h© numerous certificates in Mr. H’s. possession, we find it is considered a valuable historical and geo graphical lesson. —Since the aboye was in type,the agent of Mr. Hud son called upon us, and informed as that Mr. H. has been,in this city and is now in the east. He engag ed Philo Hall for his exhibition and will be open next week. Some idea of the immensity of the Panorama may be had from the fact, that it appears upon 12,00 feet of canvass. We understand that Mr. Hudson intends painting a view of Pittsburgh, and the Ohio river, probably the Moxongahela and Allegheny livers for some distance' up. ' That he will receive great patronage in this city* wc well believe. Persons who arc well acquainted with certain localities along the Hudson ttver, are enabled to recognize them on the canvas, as they “arc lak.cn from life.” Coutms ar r itkrs.— We have a nest of counter feiters in jail—two cute and successful swindlers. They are no doubt the members of an extensive band, individuals of which may be found in all sections of the Western country. We notice that five more of them have been arrested —the same kind of counterfeits were found upon tl era that the Mayor took from the birds now in the jail of this county., From the Cincinnati Entpdrcrr. Counterfeiters Caught.— Mr. Martin, clerk of the steamer K.W. Stephens, informs us that a gang of counterfeiters, six in number, were arretted on the 27th of January, opposite Stewart’s Island, on the Ohio river, by officer W. G. Berry, of Berry’s Land ing. They were in an empty flat boat, floating down the river. They had landed and parsed upon Mr. Berry a $2O counterfeit note on the Lafayette Bank of mis c.ity. They were examined before a court, when they gave their names as Andrew Stevem, Sr., Andrew Stevens, Jr., G.R. Patton, May, Sroup, and one name not remembered. The two Stevens’wero bailed in the sum of $5OO each, which was not given, and they were taken cafe of. When arrested, they pretended that they were going down the river a short distance, to take in a load of hides. About $l5O in counterfeit notes were found upon them, consisting of the Lafayette Bank, Cincinnati, Indiana Bank, and the Virginia Banks. Some coun terfeit silver mopey was also found upon them. The Stevens’ had assumed the name of Peter Torrence, Sr. and Jr., hailing from Ohio. Mr. Porter's Vicksburgh Theatre.—A letter from our distinguished friend, Citizen Swankxy to Mr. Rennet, brings the painful intelligence that the Vicksburgh Theatre was consumed by fire on the 28th. Wo give the letter below: Vicksburgh, Jan’y 29, 1843. Dear Sir;—Last night, about half fast 11 o’clock, a fire broke out adjoining the Theatre, and in less than two hoars, four stores, rooms, offices, with Uie now theatre, was totally in ruins; Porter has lost all, wardrobe, efo.jand some of the gentlemen their dresses. I expect to be In old Pittsburgh in a day or so. Yours truly, WM. NELL. P* S.—»Do not write any more after you get this, as we expect to leave here' shorUy. All wrone, Horatio. * The case of the dead negro, noticed yester day is, we are told, not the first of the kind that has occurred. The Coroner has frequently found diffi culty in finding the authorities whose duty it is to take possession of the corpse of strangers. The county has been forced to pay up, in tho end, by due course of law. This is all wrong. There should be some defi nite provision made to meet such cases. To leave a man lie three days dead without the rites ofburial, merely besause he happens to be poor and a stran ger, is a disgrace to the city, and to the citizens. The expense of burying is not a grievous burden, and. cm be borne by any of our corporate bodies. We hope something may be done quickly in tho matter. j Fire.—Last evening, abcut 6* o’clock, a fire broke out in the “French Store” of Mr. Gosling, Market street, which resulted in great injury to the room and goods, t originated by a<Lo accident under tbe counter. The fire had made some pro gress before the firemen arrived. The goods were injured some by water. There will bo no loss to the proprietor. The stock is insured fully.

This is indeed the latest specimen of urglary. ttSF* There were two alarms of Fire on Monday night; one was raised for causey we believe; but the other false.- In addition to these, one of Mr. Spencer’s subjects attempted to raise an alarm, on the ssmq evening, but failed.

Hays $ Broekway: A sense of duty compels me .to make a statement in regard to the effect of your Dr. Willard’s Cough Mixture upon my system. For some twelve weeks, the winter, I was so much troubled with a harrassing cough, as to render me entirely unable to attend to my work; and, from the nature of my system, I had every reason.to believe, was rapidly running: into consumption. jAfter trying various remedies, without any effect 1 was led to try- a bottle of the Oriental Cough •Mixture, and must say that I consider it the best in the United States—-in fact,-I cannot say loo.much for it, as I wns-cntirely chred by the use of the first bottle. Tp the afflicted, T would say, ‘get a bottle of it. and be cured. 1 r • “Djlxiel o ? Cocra±a Price 25 ceuis. For sale by V :HAYS A BROCKWAY, . No. 2,:Coin. Row, Liberty st„ near Canal’Basin..
