They arc such as “ make nopablicex

; That/Gcn. Taylor .is at heart a genuine Whig,

termination to make no public exposition o/hispoli
ticai sentimentf j is to us the strongest evidence qf
thitjfocK For , were he a Locofoco, there would be
’-V . for him to be silent; no impropriety in his
prottehning the fact to the world. ll
This man has uttered a truth, which it is impor
tajifahonld not be fargotten. A Democrat has in
deed no motive for concealing his .political senti*
metiUirom hit countrymen. And why is thisT It
those sentiments are in accordance with
the.CoDftituUonbecause they recognise the intel
ligence of the masses; because his efforts arc direc
ted to.the'accomplishment of the greatest good of
the nrhole People,—to the elevation of the masses,
afldiKe equalisation of political privileges. The
Democrat tees no impropriety in avowing snch sco-
M these. He knows that tire peopicap-
and. thcreftbre he has no reason to
feat We cobaeqnences of, their expression. But the
P°®f; Federalist—disguised under the name of
"Whig/* no matter how oft repeated,—feels that
he {• liable to a sentence of condemnation; and

TUe Model Artistes.
The good people of Pittsburgh will soon have an
opportunity of seeing the celebrated “ Model Ar
tistes’? of Dr. Collyer, who have created so much
excitement in the Eastern cities. That hundreds
•M.tf ousands of people will visit the exhibition,
we do not entertain o doubt; but that the virtuous,
modest and respectable ladiei of this city will pa
tronize the “ Models” by their presence, we do not
believe.. If exhibitions of this description ire en
couraged, something infinitely'more disgusting will
neit be attempted by profligate men and abandoned
women. That our readers may know what is thought
* of .these exhibitions abroad, wo copy the following
(rom the Philadelphia Bulletin :
• VramED.— When Dr. Collyer was
in Philadelphia with his ‘‘Model Artistes,” ivo
thought it our duty as a public journalist, to de-
Aonncethe exhibition. \\ e then declared that the
ri ditl mischief, not only by his own improper ta
hleattl, but infinflely greater reiscliiefl.y the counte
nance.be gave to. worse exhibitions of the kind.—
We propheeicif that, if the bcUer portion or the
community could be made to sustain the Dr.’e ta
blcaug, the less refinci portion of it would demand
something worse, and that, in time, the most dis
gutting results would bo the consequence. In a
wor Collyer’s “ Model Artistes”
at thepp*tring door.that was to let in a torrent of
indecency. ,
„ I,ale hoen ■ verified. We see that' in
New -Totrk, the other evening, when one or the
“ fair models” appeared in the usual dishabille, the
cry arose (briber, to come forth nude, with which de
mud’she complied. This disgusting fact wc record;
and forerer drop the subject.
TbcPettosjivanian has the following paragraph:
“ Since the. manifestation bv Dr. Collyer of his
c statuesque groupcs are exhibited
Rt.Ml Wiejminor theatres. Ladies and gentlemen of
?¥*?'• tightly indoed, in mar
ble-colored integuments, represent Diana and her
Nypiphs, the Three Graces, Cupid and Pysche, and
Tanous other groups; famous in profaoe history.”
BtUi’we -are told that, Mr. Clat has thrown Iho
weight-of his influence in favor of the “Models;”
thereforethe exhibition is proper, and will be patron
ized, by. the friends of the “ embodiment” in this
city. The Washington correspondent of the Pcters
burghbßepuldican, writes :
The Models. Henry Clay, accompanied by sev
eraf distinguished men, attended Dr. Coliyer’a exhi
bition'. of;the Mode) 'Artistes,’on Wednesday night.
An elegant piece was produced to his honor, which
was ;<jtftceive'd ;in elegant tlirte. Mr.' Clay was
highly .delighted,dwd invited'iheproprietor to bring
hiamndels to his room in the 11. S. Hotel. Thisaf
tefnpqh,,“ Sapho,”, ‘ r Cleop4tfa,’’ *‘ Venus,” the
IS#;P*»J er r” .nud others, paid the distinguished
gentleman a visit, but of coarse in different .attire
from that worn in thei- personations. Mr. Clay
cautioned Cleopatra not to let the Asp sting her to
death. These exhibitions are well attended. They
«fS extddatly. thc.most attractive entertainments if
the lay.' 1
The whijga are attempting: to get up a coarse cot

Pennsylvania alone, has produced seventy million
- pounds mere of iron in 1347, than i n the previous
year. But we are to have all sorts 'of panics, for
xh*purp£se of operating on the Presidential cam

Around, the,,federal party attempt to get up a panic,
for the, purpose offorcingthe farmers, mechanics

people look for it, asa matter of course. The fede
ral party dare not go before the poople, avow their
principles, anti discuss the great questions which has
divided people sincethe organization of our govern
ment.: They endeavor to get up some collateral
issue—-abuse and misrepresent the Democracy, and
claim for themselves all the political honesty and
virtoem the land. From this time until, the next
P^siJeutia.l.‘ c lection, we may look for nothing but
heart-rending descriptions of the awful distress f!)
which prevails amongst the manufacturers, iu con
sequence of the Tariff .of 1840, and other measures
of the present Democratic administration!

■w- A» tljs demand for onr paper oiyStbndayf
containing ntfiiitractfrom Captain.Nayuss% lotted
was verj gpiat, to gratifr our Se&ocnttie Irientlg,
we re-publisb the following article - 1 '*•
We have charged it upon the federal leaders,
many times, that the course which they are pur
suing, is calculated to protract the war to an indefi
nite period ; and to produce the identical result, for
the accomplishment of which they assert tha* the
war was commenced—the conquest of Mexico.
Of the influence exerted upon thc-minds of tire
Mexicans, by the speeches of the federal orators,
and thc'articlca on the subject of tho war by Fed
eral editors,.there can be. no doubt. Mexico did
not so much as pretend to claim that portion of the
territory ofTexas between the Rio Grande and the
River Nueces, until the assertion 61 her right to that
territory, by the Federalists, when the question of
the annexation of Texas was agitated in our country.
Her claim then was—the whole of Texas; believing,
doubtless, that the Federal party would be enabled
to triumph, and that, at their hands, she could real
ize her claim. The same spirit which was mani
fested by them, on that question, lias been mani
fested in relation to the war. They have asserted
that their own . country was in the wrong,—that
Mexico was right—and that all our difficulties origi
nated iu the imbecility, or the evil passions of the
President.
Every indepcndonPpntriot who writes from Mexi
co, informs his countrymen, of the effect produced
in that country, by the speeches of Webster, Clay,
Corwin, and the demagogues who are pandering to
tbeir perverted minds. And still >hey persevere in
the »amc course in which they set out—to maketheir
count! y appear in the wrong, and gain the approval
of % foreign foe. They regard not the appeals of
theircountrymen, who have suffered the perils of a
campaign in Mexico; who are capable ofappreciating
the state of affairs in that country, from constant
intercourse with the citizens, and observation o
their preceding#*, but still go on to assert that their
own country is wrong, and that Mexico is in the
right. Pursuing such a course as this, can it be
wondered al, that, those who hjtve acted with them
in their former party movements, should desert and
denounce them, in this unholy course?
The latest rebuke which we have seen, coining
from our countrymen'in Mexico, is contained in a
letter wjiich, says the Washington Union, “is
from the pen of a gentleman who w** once a whig
member of Congress, from Pennsylvania, and is
now in command of a company of volunteers, and
the governor of the national palace in the city of
Mexico.*’ This gentleman cjd be no other than
the Hon. CiuiLCS Naylor ; and tho position which
be has occupied among political men in our country,
cannot be mistaken. Ilia Ictlc* is a most severe
but just rebuke to all the “moral iraitors” in our
country —(to Webstar-, Clay, Corwin, and M'Lean)
—wherever they may be found, or under what pre
tence soercr they may be opposing their country.
Wc commend this extract to the intention of even
reader; and hope that our friends will hold up to the
merited execration of theircountrymen, all who
sustain the infamous band of parasites who come
tviihin the purview of its coudcmmng influence:—
OOOKKmUUWW
I belicrc that there can he no peace. I have
always believed this; and my belief is confirmed
by the occurrences of every day. Let there be de
cision in the administration; and then let us have
vigorous decision inihcanny. • ♦ * • 'pj ie
whig* are mad. I hang my head with humiliation
and shame when 1 think 1 have been a member of
their party. Mr. Webster’s speech has been repub
lished here, by the Mexicans, in every variety of
form, as well as a synopsis of Mr. Clay’s ; and they
have been made the foundation of appeals to the
Mexican people, confirming them in their indeci
sion—flattering their hopes that one of the great
parlies of onr country will arrest the prosecution of
the war, and putting off forever, in mv opinion-, all
prospects ofan amicable settlem ntofit. It teems
tome that the whig leaders are guilty if the worst
kind of treason. . I have discovered, here, that
some one in the States, who has had access to all
the publications of the country, has-been in corres
pondence with the Mexican Secretary nPStitc, and
has transmitted to himpll the articles'of the Amen
can press favorah'c to ,the.Mexican* and the Mexi
can cause. I ha\c in iny posarsso.n nearly three
hundred of these articles. Many of them were
translated and republished here j aud one of them,
an article from the “New York Express,*’ (an ap
peal tothe Catholics of the United States to oppose
Mr. Polk’s administration, upon the grousd that
the war was a religious war—a crusade against the
Catholic religion iu Mexico,) has not only been
published in the Mexican papers, but printed in
hand bills, and circulated oy thousands at all the
churrh doors in the city of Mexico. H'ho can t*U t
in view of facts like these, how much of the blood
that has been shed in this war isowing to the action
of such publications?.'
Under the auspices of an energetic and public
spirited citizen, Major Larimer, the Connellsvilic
Railroad project promises yet to be of that vast ad
vantage to Pittsburgh, which u-as once anticipated
by every member of this community. We rejoice
to be able to inform our readers, that the difficul
ties which heretofore existed between the “ Robin •
son" and “ Larimer ’’ Boards, have been adjusted,
by tho resignation of every member of the old
Board; and tho oiection pt the gentlemen compos
ing the Board of which Major Larimer is President,
in their stead. The Major is now at the head of the
Connellsvilic Company, without a rival.
We learn, from Harrisburg, that the bill abolish
ing tho penalty of death has been lost in the Senate,
by a vote of twelve in its favor, to .sixteen against
it. We are sorry that there was not enough of the
true spirit of Christian philanthropy in that body, to
blotfrom our statute hooks this relic of barbarism.
The yeas and nays were as follows :
Yeas—Messrs. Brawlcy, Darsie,Johnson (Erie,)
Mason,Matthias. Sadler, Sanderson, Sankev, Smith,
Streeter, Wilson, Speaker—l 2.
Nays-Messrs Benner, Best, Black, Bonn, Crabb,
Creacraft, Forsyth, Gillia, Harris, Johnston, (Arm
strong,) Uevis, Middleswarth, Ovorfield, Potieigrr,
Smyser, Sterrett—l6. Bill lost.
Absent—Messrs. Hill, King, Jordan, Rich, Rich
ardson, and Small. '
Whether the result voutd have been different in
a full Senate, we are unable to determine ; but we
are satisfied that tbosn who voted in the negative
will bo obliged to their position on thia
question, erelong, or consent to move iu some oth
er sphere. \

general result of the census given for the total pop,,-

Mb. Haxiper: I am glad to observe, that the
lew remarks which 1 made to the ptibiic, through
your paper, have called forth sundry articles Bn the
subject of our schools; which may be conducive
of good, to the groat cause of moral and intellectual
progress. That reform is needed in 'our present
system of education, no intelligent man will deny.
All agree, that our public schools are 1 ! far behind
those ol New England, and, even ofeistcrnitSenn
sylvania ; and this fault is owing to tliii: apalhv and
indifference ol parents, more than to want oliJfcipa
city in teachers,and management oh.the.part of
Directors. Public interest must be manifested, in
order to promote a salutary reform in 1 ho schools.
Let those brave spirits, who are to be found in eve
ry community, step forward, and assist in the good
cause ol enlivening and enlightening public Senti
ment; ard we shall soon see the people roused to
an ade. uate sense of the importance of education,
and the tree of knowledge bearing, in ilie sunidiinc,
its fruits and Us flowers. 1 hope that,,the citizens
oi Pittsburgh will not pass this subject]; bv, without
a special consideration. I appeal to‘;the rich as
well as to the poor, for both arc equally interested
General education is the best preventive of Crime
and pauperism. It quickens and invigilates £jie in
tellect; it makes men industrious, ecdhomielil and
tbruty; it guarantee* the safety of propertyiv and
elevates ilie character and condition of tile huitvblest
ranki m *ucieiv. :
Society is a political partnership; bid as ft is at
present constituted, the profits are very uncquslly
distributed ; and this unequal distribution will edn-
Unuc; until, by a general education, the rigSk of
men will be better understood and maintained? If
the puor man has little hope of seeing hm condition
exalted in his own day and generation, lie (should do
all in Ins power to have the caste and stigma of ig
nuranco and poverty, removed from l»ls children.
do ml mean to say that the rich are qliliohtencd,
and the poor mentally benighted : oflen'the reverie
is the fact; but any one who shall glaricc abroad
over the community, cannot but see, thSi toil Vith
out adequate remuneration, is not the (fit of those
persons, who have had the advantagjj* of a good
1 wish to call public attention to oftr common
schools. I rctlcrate what I before a.sWledJ that
they arc not used, in this city, alike by lie riclfand
poor ; and, to be prosperoua, they musliijie the'only
scliools in the community. I propoaed the csuhlish
ment ol a High School for the cwisiderktion of our
citizens; and 1 flatter myself, that public] attention is
directed towards such an instrtution. The Usifcrsi
ly has been suggested, as a substitute Tor a High
School; and l have not yet been convinced, bf the
arguments ol ilie opponents of the measure, that the
suggestion is a bad one. Ifthe advanced scholars of
the public schools were transferred, (after. a uioner
exam,nation on the pan or the School Directors- of
the different wards, as.cmbled as a general board for
that purpose) to ( the University, where they might
have a cullege education, gratuitously to the paririits,
and at but a trifling expense to society, of* which the
parent IS a taxable member, it would be ir vaat! im
prove ment on the present imperfect syktem. ibne
mill per centum on the taxable property of Pittsburg
would thoroughly educate every boy senfiu thc lfni
voisily from the advanced claisea of the public
schools. This sum would be inadequate: to support
an Independent High School ic our city, alter efect
irg suitable buildings and purchasing the: ineccsliary
plnlosopliic.il apparatus and cabinets. ;llf such a
ui. asure could be cfl'e ted, the School Di'rcciofs of
tiic city wuul.i fiv the terms of tuition and! havcctho
management of the funds ; and not the Tfustoeif of
the Uiiivcisity, ns a wii’er in your paper^htimates.
A word or two on the subject of tho School if ax
being general, and I have done. One ofiynur fcor
respondents dunks, teat, to sustain the scjiodls by a
general tax over the city, would be unjust, arid op
pressive to the old wards. I think be bah taken but
a superficial view of this point. It is wicill kndvvh,
that all the wards have their school houses erected,
nr that they are being built. None of them h’svc
surplus funds in tho hands of their treasurers ;iand
thus they stand upon the same platfinmil If aiij of
the wards are in debt for their buildings, letifhc
debt he paid by special taxation on the citixlK of
that ward. Some of the now wards are ahead of
the old in their school houses;—take, fur example,
the beautiful edifice in the Sixth- Ward,
-credit lo the city. On this subject, where the in
terests and benefits are universal, sectional jealous
ies should not bo tolerated ; their existence pnfy
shows weakness in the bead, or littleness in-Hie
heart, of the man who could be influenced by tiiem.
If these views arc worthy of consideriitioqj and
the School Directors of the city are awhitned by
them into a desire to promote the causejof educa
tion, by elevating ihe condition or the wand schools,
and at ihe same lime, establishing a high sehSol,
where the youth of our city can have Mic higher
branches of knowledge taught them ; orii.to the ac
complishment of the same end, by sending to the
University, those ndvancod voiitlis who jkave Apti
tude for learning, then, a'n humble individual,
who has no personal interests to gratify ,save those
he holds in common, with his feilow-citlxcusj-will
feel that he lins not lived in. BURttfCT'f,

“ ThE^ OF
TiU NiNETEKNTii CektubYj 6 y %/ Constant. —
Translated from, the French .by Francis G.
Shaw.”
This is a little work, just from the-press, which
we lmrc found quite interesting. We were first
directed to it and induced to study its pages, by the
Jett* r of Grace Greenwood, which spoke in such
glowing terms of its merits as a religions and scien
tific work.
The writeris oneofthosepowerful French autho-s
who is making a mark upon his age that time can
not obliterate. Mr. Shatf deserves the thanks of
the American public for the production of the
work in our language.
The title was chosen by the author, because he
sought to explain how the divine Word, “after
having been incarnated in a man who is the head
of the model of humanity, must at last be incarna
ted in the whole of humanity by the communion
of all to the intelligence of one same spirit, and to
fraternity of one same Jove.”
We will give our readers a taste of it merely,
and trust that it, will be enough to give an idea of the

We quote a few paragraphs from the Paolocue
“ * I will not leave you fatherless,’ said the Christ,
when about to quit the earth ; « J will come acain
to you.* ••
“Ye people, who have believed in the words of
the Christ, and who still a consoler, know
that the Chrin, your Saviour, has never abandoned
you. Know that he suffers with you, that he labors
with you, that he groans, and that he prays with
v ou. .
“ The Christ is the human form of the divine idea.
That form you are all called nj on to realize, and to
ciolhe*yourteivc«anew with its royal majesty.
*••** • * i r
“ Because it was necessary that humanity should
first learn how to sufier, in order to know how to
be happy afterwards ; should know how to obey, in
order to learn bow to reign. It was to holy and
austere poverty that was intrusted the education of
the heirs of Gad, in order that through privations
they might learn the true use of their Father’s
riches.
“ In tca.hing men to love their neighbor more
than themselves, and their soul more than their
body, and God more than their soul, the Christ
emancipated them from the servitude of the flesh,
and he elevated the flesh itself by calling it to
share the glory of free souls.
“ The Christ did not limit his word to an exclu
sive form; the spirit of which it contains the germ
is universal.
“ He sowed the seed, and time has ripened the
grain.
“ The word of the Christ, like that of the ancient
prophets, has had unintelligent 'ftnd|sclf-interested
interpreters, who haTc wiahod to seal it like the
stone of his sepulchre. \
“But the word traverses stones, and cannot be
kept captive; it escapes in spite of walls; it passes
in spite of gale* of iron ; it goes forth in spite of
seattnols.
“ Brothers, the word of the Christ is the word 6f
liberty, of equality, of fraternity. .
“ Of liberty, because he has told us not to fear
those who can kill the body, and to preserve before
God the independence of our souls.
“Of equality, because he has said to us: yon
have all only one and tbc same father, one and
the same master: he is God, and you are all
brothers f
“Of fraternity, because he has told tho strong
to be the protectors of the weak, the learned to in
struct the ignorant, the rich to provide for the ne
cessities of the poor.
•*•*••*
“The sciences gravitate toward* their grand
synthesis; unity governs all ideas, and harmony ur
ranges them in a marvellous order ; analogy givos to
faith, enlightened by science, die key of all pro
blems j synthesis brings together all symbols, and
proclaims religious unity by the voice of all ages;
the truly Catholic idea merely begins to be born,
and those old men arc there, stopping their ears,
closing their eyes, make themselves motionless up
on the ruin* ol the past; like urns upon grave* !
Well then, since those who should teach the
people have no longer any voice, since the Word
has no longer any need of them fer interpreters, let
□« boriow a new goßpeUegccd from the genius or
the people, and from their aspirations after human
ilary progress l
“ Let us complete the epopmia of tbe Christ by
the allegorical recital of his second comiug, and let
us relate bis triumphs to those who have wept so
much over his sorrows.
•••*•••
“ We shall borrow from the ancient gospel legend
ns simple and popular form; for he who speaks to all
must use language which may be understood bv all.’ 1
We quote again from the Epilogue :
*< We have not had the intention of writing a new
gospel, but we have endeavored to apply to the
diseases of modern society the always powerful vir
tue of the ancient gospel spirit, by making the
Christ speak as wc can think be would speak, should
he ogiin come among us.
• * ♦ * ♦ * *
** Christianity is at last about to realize us promi
ses; and philosophy arriving at unity by means of
synthesis, is becoming essentially religious. Rea
son it also about to bo reconciled for ever with
Faith.
“ God has given to us the intellect in order that
wc may understand,and the heart in order that we
may love : and by thc£fceiing he gives to our hearts
of his harmonics, he raises our spirit even tobimsclf.
J* God being supreme wisdom, has created every
thing for an end, and has given to all his creatures
the means of attaining the end which he assigns to
them. He preserves harmony among the stars by
the laws of attraction, and it is by the same laws
that he has regulated beferehand tho destinies of
men.
4< The attractions are therefore proportional to the
destinies.
“ Now, the different attractions all have harmonic
unity for their end, but they roust cause all wills to
act in different circle* magnificently co-ordained
among themselves. An immense chain of harmo
ny connects with God all KU works, and from se
ries to scries he distributes life to all beings.
“ The series distributes the harmonies .
“ Analogical relations exist between the series,
and are as the steps .of the ladder of science, of
that ladder of gold of which the prophet formerly
saw during his sleep, and which assisted the spirits
to ascend from earth to heaven, and to descend
from heaven to earth.
For iht Meriting Past;
<r These are the bases of the hew science ; they
are founded upon all philosophical and religious
traditions; and we, can say that they are not the
principles of a school, but the theorems of the most
advanced science, and the incostcstablc dogmas of
true universal Religion.”
Death jk Jail.— Th« Coroner was yesterday
called upon to hold an inquest upon the body of a
woman named Catharine APGoivin, who came to her
death in jail by a very singular accident. While sho
and another female prisoner were spa ring on the
corridor in front of the second tier of cells, sl& kick
ed at her companion, whom she missed, and losing
her balance, she fell over the railing, and struck the
stone floor below upon her bead. She expired in a
riiort time. This occurrence took place about 11
o’clock yesterday. The deceased was In prison on
the chargo of vagrancy. The verdict of the jury
was in accordance with the abovo facts.
JEST We think we speak truth in'sayingthat ** Al
den’s P reject” has died out. No one cared for it—
no one had raspectfor a thing so preposterous .and
silly. It was gigantic on account of the means re
quired to insure complete (success ; but any person
could start a plan requiring millions of dollars in
its prosecution. We think our most intelligent citi
zens aim at something higher than “ Inns ofCourt;”
the means could be better employed. There are
other interests to be cared for in community, and
which now imperatively demand action. Ifthe mo
ney required for the erection of Aldcn’s Inns of
Court, was devoted to a correct system of Educa
tion. the next generation would very well get along
without the legal profession, in our little district.

Pittsbuaor'aks Connejllsvillf. RailßSad Coh-
PAinn—The*’difficulties that have heretofore threat
ened to destroy the prospects’of tbitjcompan/i and
*jeonpexion of this city with aitfhow
happUf-.VeratMred.-yXhe'rPirettprstvelected'TorJost
year, and who claimed, for a’time, itiat the Cdn-
AellsTtile Charter bad been surrenderedjrandtho
stock transferred to the Ohio lino, have all resigned,
and the affairs of the company are now tender the
control of the friends of theConnellsville Route.
This has been brought about by the indefatigable
exertions of Major Larimer, who has spared neither
time nor expense in removing tht obstacles in the
way of the speedy prosecution of the Pittsburgh and
ConnelUville Road.
A Sjlxoht. Dispute.— While walking down .Wood
street, yesterday, we saw a crowd assembled before:
a store door; and there appeared to. be considera
ble excitement. Two men bad each other by the
arms, aside, and were engaged in loud 'talk.. At
length they parted, and wo heard the cause of the
dispute. A tenant of the second story was prepa
ring to remove his goods, without paying the rent,
and the landlord resisted. The tenant charged, in
reply, that there was another cause, but did not say
what it was. What a pity.
friend Rees still continues to enlighten
the street walks, on Sundays, by his eloquence and
reasoning. Some who do not appreciate all hik
ideas, sometimes treat him badly; by making vulgar
remarks, and in other ways. On last Sunday, the
officers of the- Peace interfered, and locked one
man up for this offence. We wish Israel could be
convinced of the feet that his harrangues are not
felt very deeply in community ; that he might sec
the policy of retiring to private life, and be con
tented to let tbe world move on as directed by
•uprene power.
fcaT Mr. Spencer’s success at the Odeon,has been
so far equal to that of his former exhibitions. The
excitement has not yet subsided ; and each even
ing crowds attend. Tho experiments of Monday
evening, were very interesting. A committee was
appointed by the audience, to investigate the ex
periments j who unanimously reported favorably to
the operator.
This evening, Mr. Spencer gives another Lecture,
with experiments.
SET Tbe Evening Mail publishes the names of the
Watch cases brought before the Mayor. We think
this wrong; but since the editor will persist, be
does right in making no# distinction as to persons.
The public will be amazed occasionally,
times distressed, to see familiar names on the list-
Our advice is to all. to endeavor to keep straight,
and the guardians of the night will not molest them,
nor will the Mail expose their mishaps.
Bubglabs Aabested.—A -telegraphic despatch
was reccivcd t by the Independent Police yesterday,
from Cincinnati, giving the' agreeable intelligence
that the Pittsburgh Burglare, Robinson, Lutz and
Cook, had been arrested, and were safely lodged
in prison in Madison, Indiana. The Cincinnati Po
lice took) them. Hague started immediately lor
them, and will no doubt return with theburglars
in a few days. This breaks up one gang entirely.
The Native Sapper will be served up on the
evening of the 22d, in tho Athcnamm Saloon. It
is bound to be good—to be worth a dollar.
Dr. Coatc’s Lecture, in the afternoon, is to be
feee. We will hear it; for we are anxious to know
i* he is a “ whole team and a big dog under the
wagon,” as he has been represented. We think
he might spend his words for higher game than Na«
tivism.
Baekev Williams.— This gentleman takes his
Benefit at the Athcnenm this evening. His bill of
fere is quite satisfactory—it is a good one. But
the chief” attraction [is Barney himself, and bis
inimitable brogue. He is an Irishman in more re
spects than one. He has an Irishman’s wit and
humor, and an Irishman’s heart, and an Irish
man’s gallantry. All who know him, like him;
all who witness-his personations, admire his pro*
fesaional talent. Give him a bumper to-night.
i S3T* The Lecture in the Sixth Ward Schoo 1
House, on Friday evening next, will be doliverelby
Mr. T. jT. Kuteon. The subject of the Lecture
will be Elocution. Rev. Mr. Williams, who was
expected to address the audience on the occasion,
has bceu prevented by other engagements. The
public, in general, are invited to attend, as all the
lectures at this institution are free.
S&'Mr. Craft, Revenue Commissioner for this
District, has left for Harrisburgh.
Mr. M’Candless is now in Washington city, do
ing duty in the Supreme Court.
Hon. A. Plumer passed through this city on his
way to Harrisburgh a few days ago. We under"

The Presidekcv.— The Taylor meeting, last
evening, was a most magnificent failure. We
counted eight persons present, three men and five'
boys. We believe there was no organization.
A call for a Scott meeting is to appear in some
of-the Whig papers of this morning. It will be
more respectable, doubtless. •
