Bat when we apeak or the celebraUon or the birth day or w a JmoTdK. we recognize inch a meeting or warm hearts and generous minds, aa would glory in calling upbnthn world tobehold the beauty or the rabnc which he so materially aided in rearing: auch as would call upon the ■ oppressed of every land to comb; and lind here, among us, that glorious boon of political equality, Tor which the mourning mil lion bt Europe are pining: such aa would wel come to.,our aborcs, and hail as brothers, overy mkh, whose aspiration) are for freedom: auch as would hail, with delight, the appearance on our ahores,of the warm hearted countrymen of Emmett; the Sober-thinking, and prudent, and worthy Ger man-, the countrymen of tafeyette, of Kosciusko, . or of Pitt: such aa would feel that there is a natu ral bond oraympathy between all true lovers of litierty, wherever found upon the earth. But auch ispot the character of those who meet to-day in Pittsburgh. Their aims, their doctrines, and all their aspirations, are at war with such ennobling sentiments aa those. They would cut off the f‘ last lone asylum of sweet Liberty” from all, save those « into the manor born.” With auch aa these, we can hold no political communion. We can look upon them only aa parasites. We can speak of ■ them, only as enemies of their country, enemies oy her'greatest glory. We aee, from their advertisement, that they ex phetto have Dr. Retbeu. Coates, of Philadalphia, to address them on the occaaion; but understand that, in this, they will be disappointed. In his stead, we piesurne, aome other Native will hold forth, upon thepecnliarhesufteaor their, system. Thank Hear enweare in a land where “ Error of opinion may be tolerated, at reason ia left free to combat it.” ■ And reason doet combat such soul-dishonoring sen timents aa those of this Native party; and, by. the in fluence ofher power, she thins the ranks of all such ' parties, aa hold opinions at variance with our glori ous institutions. Every struggle iu which our coun try has been engaged with a foreign power, has giv en proof of the love manifested for her cause, by ' those who havefled from tyranny, to enjoy politicai -at equality among ua; and every day’s experience proves to 1 us, that, though the dearly beloved fatherland ' cannot be forgotten, the land of their adoption ia as dear to them a* life. ! Wehavhbten led into this train of reflections; from tho perkaal of one of the fettera from Col. Wvßaoor, who was himself an active member Of this same Native party. He is now in Mexico, and has seen some servide there. He writes from hia own observation ; and is therefore worthy of atten tion. We extract as follows: i « The Irishman and German: I have aeon many ■ of them in one Tank—l have been with them in bat tle—haVo dean them wounded and dying—have trodden over their dead bodies on the field—have witnessed by proof stronger than revelation, tbeir affection for the land of their adoption ; and , I trust in'God that the time will come when I shall be cn - shied, in aome degree, by future conduct, to re pair the wrong honestly done towards these people, by myaelfdnring the past. I say lionexfJy, because as a politician I was honest in opinions, and I believe unhesitating in my expressions. Time, however, • has corrected the error, and in a school too, not easily -to be forgotten.” ; Instead, therefore, of an oratiun, of the cbarac ■ i ter to be expected from Native politicians, wo would recommend a portraiture of the character of our own W-Ashisgton ; and, connected with him, at ''lpaat a brief reference to tame of those whose coun : ! toymen would be driven from our shores by this Native faction ;or who, if permitted to come here, ; would be subjected to such conditions, aa would I shame thp'monarchica of Europe. Let the orator, ior oiatbra, at least, briefly dwell uponthecharac ;tW and Vsrvicea of. Lafayette, of De Kalb, of Steosxb,of KoKßmto; and, in doing so, the con viction ratty be .forced upon the minds of the audi ence, that the oppressed of Europe, when feeling moat deeply their political degradation, lurn with delight tq qnr own blest and favored land, with the i eaciamation,—“ Where Liberty dwells, there is *riy country” ' The Tariff of 1810. 1 .t. The people understand the merits of the tariff act of 1846; they arc satisfied with its provisions, and aoy controversy on the subject would afford but lit tie interest to our readers, whatever it might to the road era of the Gazette. We observed the glove whidb oar neighbors flung at our feet the other daj . and though a tilt with them might be very agreca- ] blc, by way of exercise, we have no disposition to , enter into a wayside combat, in winch the people take no interest. The tariff question is not before the country* and the subject of special protection is (even according to their own most prominent lead* era*) an obsolete idea. Our neighbors, for want of something better, to say, are anxious to show their devotion to our manufacturers, by endeavoring to win a little sympathy for that unfortunate class of ' our community. But do the manufacturers really > ( vast their sympathy t that is the question. We be- V i liere the; do not; and the efforts of the Gazette to V> get up a tea-pot panic, seems to us, at least, to bor der on the ridiculous. Wo presented our neighbors with a handfull of nuts, a few days since, which r were found too hard for their teeth ; we now offer : I gome more, and invite the Gazette to try a hammer | oh them. Wo stand ready to provo, should the Ga . ■ ■ lette hare the assurance to deny it, that some of :■ onr iron manufacturers aro now Bending bar and boiler iron, Sc., to Mississippi, and to New Orleans, to anppiy|orders for these articles, from markets so ac cessablo to British competition. The lachrymose blnbberings of the Gazette, to gain the tender sym- I r .ihi— of its readers for the poor, persecuted man utseturers, is but a pitiful exhibition of either igno rance or canting hypocrisy. Wears rejoiced to hear that the late outrageous ■( unuU of David Wilroot upon Mr. Bucuajtah, has aot met with a response from a s.nglc Democratic Jdunul in the country. Every true Democratic pa per heartily disapproves of that mean and cowardly StUsk i but, ** might be espected, the rederal papers and the piratical crew, (who enst by their abuse of, . fiemocratic men and measures, )r are lauding Mr. Wilmot to the akies. • Throughout Pennsylvania there to hut one voice respecting Mr. Wtlmot, and - that is unqualified contempt. K that gentleman would mingle with the peoplo of this. State for a abort time, he would soon learn that the party have lost all confidence in him, and look upon him as a rank disorganixer, as a democrat m nothing but the name. „ r p, AT j. daily expected Hi visit Plidadel- The C CUy Councils have tendered him the & Independence Hall, as a reckon .corn. 5 f ’ - Sir* WUmot* ~-f r • ■ : . f y , ''3 ~h- y-. 4 ~ -‘ r*' * > h-v; J;. '. -V- » V lIMODEL Att.TISTKS » The Joint Police Committee in tho CoantilS ofl Baltimore have made a Very able report against the libidinous “MoiiSl Artistes” exhibitions. Thb Com mittee, in thWi- raport, Slate that— ' • * ; “ i’pon inquiry, they find such exhibitions to be of tho most indelicate and offensive nature, and that it should bn suppressed, both for the preservation of morals and thb vindication of the community from the guilt of encouraging, nr even quietly enduring so orosß an outrage against decency. t « The committee would observe, that any wanton exposure of the person, or any exhibition or lascivious tendency, is a gross misdemeanor at the common lawj and if it should hnppfen tha. the ingenuity of vice, pandering to the evil passions of our nature, Tor gain, should succeed in evading tho provisiohs ol any ordinances winch the Couucii may nass un the subject, or if a case, should occur orsuch flagrant scandal, thattlie limited authority of the cor poration cannot inflict an adequate punishment, they trust thnt tho parties offending will be also prosecu ted by indictment before the proper tribunals, whore they may be subjected to imprisonment ns well as to fine.’* i’hc New York correspondent of the Boston Atlas writes as follows, concerning these immoral exhibi- “I visited sotnc of these unclad groupings, and al though, having passed several years in Paris, I am not, perhaps, over scrupulous, can but condemn > them as outrages against common do cncy, where j vitiated tastes aro pandered to, and boys are cor-I rupted at twenty-live cents a ticket. Nor is this all. The “ semi-nude ” is stealing into favor among do cent people, and I know pf a scries of tableaux vt vants now getting up, to be represented in the draw ing-room of one of the most fashionable ladies here, in which it will be adopted. A fair young girl is to stand, with nothing but a thin gauze between her and the spectators, in the attitude and dress or rath er undress of Titian’s mistress !” The Mayor of the City of Richui ond refused to grant license to Dr. Collier to exhibit his worse than lascivious “ Models,” on Thursday last, but subsequently granted permission, the Doctor having represented that his exibition should not prove ob jectionable. In reference tc this the Billlmoro Sun “ We assure our Richmond neiglibbrs that some of those given here by him were more lascivious and obscene than those of any of the troupes that follow ed or prcccJcd hiio. His “Circnsiian slaves,” “Time discovering Truth,” and “Psyche going to bathe,” were nothing more nor less to the eye than absolute female nudity, and wc still hope that the moral sense of the community of Richmond will tri umph t>ver this iuaidious attempt to outrage the pro prieties of life, by an esibitioiroffi male degradation and masculine infamy. It should be borne in mind, also, that it is this troupe who have opened the door for the whole flood of obscenity in this line with which we are now deluged; and to them, therefore, is attributable as the first causo, whatever ofevil and disgrace has or may result therefrom.” Will not the Councils of Pittsburgh take this mat ter into consideration T The Federalists and the Tariff. Wc have not manifested a disposition to discuss the tariff question. There is a measure of much greater importance—-so far at the Federal party are concerned--flSSeß.is yet under diacussion. They have shown to the country by their arts, lhat they are “the apologists of Mexico and wc ore dis posed to give them the full benefit of their true po sition in connection with the war. This shall not prevent us from laying before our readers such/erfs, going to show the beneficial operation of the Tariff of 1846, as shall from time to time come into our possession. They no doubt wish the People to believe that they ate for their country. We shall picsci.t facts to prove the contrary. The following extract will show, in part, the beneficial tendency of the Tariff of 1846 : - The true cause of the deficiency cf the treasury consists in tlyo falling off of the revenue from the tariff of 1842, in the carlv part of the current finan cial year, and not from Mr. Walker’s tariff, the reve nue of which goes on increasing, as predicted by him, and will increase steadily from year to year. The following are the returns «f duties for five days in February, 1546, under the tariff of 1842, and Feb., 1847 and 1848, under the tariff of 1846: I-Vb 6th. I**4o. Fell. fidi. *47. Frl». All*.

Clay and General Taylor.—A former statement of tlie Washington < orrc.-poudetil of the Philadelphia North American, relative to a good understanding between Mr. Clay and General Tay lor, having hr cn questioned by a northern print, the correspondent replies as follows : «c \ few words will furnish my answer. So far as Mr. Clay is referred to in my original statement, 1 derived the authority from hi* own lips. So far as Gen. Taylor is referred to, l derived the authority from his own hand and teal. I repeat, that I may not be misunderstood, that (Jen. Taylor has written, saying, that in the event of Mr. Clay, or any other Whg, being selected as the candidate of the party, he would not permit his name to enter the canvass.’* We call the attention of our democratic friends, particularly to ihc statement in the last paragraph here quoted. Although Gen. Taylor, in his pub lished letters professes to he a no party man, and seems to desire a no party nomination, yet privately, he says that he is a “ Clay Whig ; and if " Mr. Clay or any other Whig is nominated, he will not permit his name to enter the canvass.” We want to hear nothing mure said about the Gcueral’u Dr mocracy. Clinton County run Buchanan. —The regular County Convcrftion met at Lock Haven on the Hlh, ami according to the (,7in/on Democrat , from which wc quote, Gen.

Somerset County for Buchanan.— The Demo crats of Somerset county) (says the Pennsylvanian,) met on Monday last, and elected William Roddy, Esq. their Delegate to the 4th of March Covenlion. He is the “ open and earnest friend of Mr. Buchan an.*’ A resolution expressing a preference for a nothcr distinguished candidate for the Presidency, was laid on the table by an almost unanimous vote. Thcso facts may be relied upon. •aT* There was a very large meeting in the city of New York, on Tuesday night last, called by the friends of Gen. Taylor; but a majority of thoso present appeared not to approve of the object o! the meeting, very heartily. A certain Col. Baker figured as a Speaker; bat he could not satisfy the people in relation to Gen. Taylor*s political creed. The report in the Herald, states that, “ in thecourse of his remarks, Col. touched with severity on Mr. Polk. On the instant, the storm burst out in all its good oatured Cftyj wijji six cheers for Polk, suc ceeded by cheers forXlay.” Still have fixed upon another day for the grand burst up of the worldly affairs It is to come in May next, when, according to their calculations, the world will be 6,000 years of age for certain, and. will take its freedom blow out. They arp getting ready for it at Leroy, in this State.—N. Y. dlobe. • anxiety of the Millcntcs, in waiting for the end of the world, has only a parallel in the federal party waiting to see Henry Clay president.

A morning whig paper, in making grove charges against the National Administration, in regard lo the prosecution of the Mexican war, makes the fol lowing, among other 'blunders. Speaking of (»en. Scott at Puebla, he says: “Here through long months, cut off from all communication with the sea board, enveloped in an enemy's country by a hostile population, he awaited the arrival of rein forcements and assistance in vain.” It has been believed here, up to this lime, that Gem. Cadwalladcr and Pierce, bolli reinforced Gen. Soott during his slay at Puebla —Gen. P. taking up about 2500 men. Hear him again : ! “At lasl despairing of succor, with a farce of 7000 \ men, inadequately supplied with ammunition, he.; commenced that celebrated march into, the basin of| Mexico.” * : Gen. Scott, in his official account, says : “We marched from Puebla with only 10,738 rank and file.” Again, saya the federal editor : “At the moment when ficn. Scott might have inarched into the city of Mexico, a halt to negotiate.” .he President, in his annual niei*Sg^jfW)' B; i “Care was taken to give no twjyhu Commissioner, which could in any with our military operation*, or relax dur energies in the proscctftion of the war..

While the great and good men of the present day are working with a view to relieve society of the evils that necessarily follow the pursuit cl low, v\e have in our city—in this West—a movement tu build up a legal aristocracy !j • Shame. The pretension! that the mechanics ate to be ben-. efilted by the “ free lectures forever,” is the veriest humbug ! The a'cccss to scientific works to he pul into the library,! is another humbug. Mechanics want something jelse. They want labor elevated, first! they want fair wages, or fair dividends upon ilieir industry j they want a thousand things, which the legal profession will never bestow upon them. So long as there ate disputes between man and man, the laws loir their adjustment should be simple and honest; and!thi« the mechanics are particularly anxious to achicire, just now. Perhaps one or the “ Inns of Court” nrnlors was not entirely wrong in characterizing the working men of tbo couptry as low, mean, igno-ant, Sic. There is lowness, meanness and ignorance among ! them, we admit; hut not more in proportion to; numbers, than it to be found at the bar. llut there, is this difference. Lawyers have had opportunities | for improvement; mechanics have been denied, these. Give the masses a chance to acquire true; education —a-training of the brain as well as the muscles—and we will find them standing fmih,: good rounded characters;” free from fashionable I and unfashionable vices ; industrious and enthusiast tic in tho pursuit of noble objects ; they will be the God-onlaincd aristocracy fur the government of countries. i , I If the city, or county, or stale, have any surplup .means, which plight bo devoted topublit good,lcl us have it for the benefit and clevation-pf; Jhoic pur suits which do not exist upon thc^vices, ! the igno rance and degradation of tbo masses. ; The people should resist the establishment of the tons of Court 1 ;” and those who maki themselves busy in furthering the project, should be marked for public inspection. We do not wish to be understood as saying any thing derogatory to the character of tlic Pittsburgh, liar. We know that among its members are to be found many or the purest’ men in the country- We say what has been said a thousand times, and is true enough to be skid thousands of times mure, thatjin tho legal profession is to be found some of the greatest and best men—who have der.o, and will do, more for public good, than any other body of men. JUST Now that the spring business is just beginning to break out, and folks are io expectation of good limes, mechanics of some branches arc talking of strikes. Whop there is no other remedy for. (ow wages, a resort to a strike is well cnougli; but it should bo the last resort. It in distressiug to think, that violence is sometimes necessary in order to so cure justice tp tho workmen —“ a fair day’s w.-jges for a few days! work,” as Carlyle lias it. Employers do not understand their own interests, in hanging out against the small demands of those in theirem pioy; a quick compliance will be found, in most cases, the most profitable course. Both parties j would bc'bcncfittcd by iL Let the factory propri etors answer ; how much they lost by the strike of tho girl?, a year or two ago ; and wo all know; that the poor'girls suffered much. Ilnd the demands of the nperalivcfc'bccn acceded to, in the first instance, by tlic proprietors, both would have saved. This antagonism between employer and employ cd, is lamentable ; and the prayer of all sliou’d be for the approach oflhat cfa, prcphccied by Secretary Walker, when workmen shall be partners, and nut . «* hands.”' sjs-Thc Seotl Meeting comes off to-night in Me F addon's Warehouse. There will be some resolu- tions adopted, some speeches made, (provided the orators have; not changed their minds on the subject of the Presidency,) and a great deal or nonsense We presume it will be a large gnthor mg ; many whose names appeared on the call will attend, and jsmne will look in Tor curiosity. The Taylor meeting failed in point of numbers, because there was nothing to look at, and therefore do per son attended—except the seven noticed heretofore. Wo believe, seriously, that the Scott wing.of the Whig party is’tn the ascendant in this county ; and the speeches will no doubt be made. We have a curiosity to hear what can bo said by the ghost of i anti-masonry, which is to appear to-night. More Counterfeiters. —We find tlic following account of the arrest aod attempt at suicide of a counterfeiter, who hails from our county, in the Mer cer Press, lie may belong to the gang! or, it may turn out at last, that he is an innocent and duped man. We never heard or him, but we know there have lived in Rcscrvo township people of the same name. We never heard any thing against them. Counterfeit monet —Attempt at Suicide.—A stranger, of prepossessing appearance and addrets, was arrested in this place on Wednesday last, on the charge classing counterfeit money, (two $lO fails on the Northern Bank of Kentucky.) On his csami tion before th'c Justice ho gave his name as balmon Austin, stated that he had a wife in Allegheny coun ty. Reserve township, and that he was on;his way to Poland, Ohio.- On being searched, oight or nine of those counterfeit bills were found upon him—sev en secreted under the lining of his hat, one in hia hoot, and one or two in his wallet. Under these circumstances, as a matter or course, it became the I duty of the Justice to commit him for trial. j Tester day, after writing a letter to his wife, as ho stated, and enclosing a $5 bill,—ho borrowed from an in mate of the jail a raior for the purpose of shaving himself, and retiring to the jailyard cut bis throat in a horrible manner, as well aB his right leg. When discovered, which must have boen some tune after lie committed the act, ho appeared , perfectly insensible. Medical aid however was speedily up on the giound,and his wounds being dressed he rai led, and the chance is that ho may recover. BsT'Tho Wm. Penn Ball promises to bo a “crowd er,” as we say in fancy slang. We arc told by one of tho active managers, that preparations have been made for a party of the first ordor ; and wo believe they arc the boys who can do it. The Allegheny city ladies are to torn out in their strength and beau ty, and will make the room brilliant with their charms and graces j for these they possess in perfection. The music and supper are to bo of the best. $5- Forrest, tho Tragodian, has announced hi intention of leaving the stage. In the. American Theatre, at Now Orleans, he said,a few days since: “ Other pursuits, entirely unconnected with public life, invite me from the stage j nnd to devote myself to those, I must gradually diminish the sphere and limit iho number of my theatrical engagements. I come to you, therefore, with my humblis oflerings, for the last time j and permit me to hope, that as you looked with * friendly interest upon the early blossom of thpxtrce, its fruit, now ripened by the mellowing hours of time, may not bo to you unac ccptablc. ■ : B&* Tho weather has been distressing, for several days past. It iB too bad that.in tho proper season, wo are denied the luxury of good cold breexes.— But wo must not grumble. Thete may bo snow and ice, with other evidences of genuine winter, yet. May we all live to soo and enjoy. ay We are indebted to the liberal hand and goneroua heart of our fnend Georgo M. Neppert, 25 Fifth street, for a most delicious treat he sent to eur ofiice yesterday. All hands indulged freely, and in thankfulness. rVji 'i ■ >■ ‘h •.

His dress is different. He has been in the east for some lime, and oi course, comes among his western ftienda in the style and fashion of the orientals. A drab overcoat, like a kew York dandy, hangs prominent upon him. His shirt collar and breast were sccludtd, on account of I the dark complexion, we presume. Altogether, Arthur looks as he once did, only a little more so. He has the same assurance, if we may judge from the few sentences be uttered, while in the presence iif the Mayor. But it is found, by himself, we should say, that he is now in a tight place, i At 4 o’clock, yesterday afternoon, he waß brought ’before Mayor Adams and examined. Three depo sitions were read. One by John Groat, a salesman ■at the “ Three Big Doors,” who declared that in IS46, Brown came to him, got some clothing, to the amount or $4O, for which he gave i hima check" upon the Exchange Bank. The next 'day, Groat ascertained that Brown had no money in the Bank. ■ John Holden’s information set forth that Brown borrowed from him $2OO, and engaged to give him a situation at $lO per week. Brown sloped with the $2OO. .■ James M’Guirc & Co., staled that Brown bought a coat “to go Canonsliurgh and tbevncxj dry made his exit from the city. Mr. Bruce appeared for Arthur Brown, Jr. The Mayor demanded bail in the sum of $2,400. The defendant said he did not know that he could find bail in the room, (nt the lame lime looking en quiringly at the crowd,) but thought he might find a friend in the city, llis attorney protested against the amount of the hail ; and stated that the case would bo brought hefi.ro a court, fiir the purpose ol having the bail reduced. Commitments were made out, and handed to offi ccr Richardson ; when Mr. Brown arose, put on his gloves, walked into the hack room, and afterwards w alked to jail, -in which domicil lie now dwells. 53fThat animal that frightened the ladies of Filth street, a few days ago, was not a mad dog. tttf- There was a tremendous row in Hayti on Saturday night. Many were the heads cracked-- but no lives lest. _ Say- Fresh shad, caught in the Susquehanna, were served up in Philadelphia on Friday last. JPeguess ihcy were not bad to take. Newspaper Sold.— The Saturday Evening Post, one of the weekly newspapers published in Phila delphia, was sold on the 17tn insl., by Cul. Patter son, for the sum of $20,000. Statistics of I.cwf.i.l. —There are now in this flourishing New England city, twelve manufactu ring corporations, having an aggregate capital stock of $.2,110,000,. and employing 12,630 lands, whose weekly wages, clear of board, amount to $36,446. There are two institutions for Savings— the Lowell and the City—where their operatives deposited during the year ending April 36, 1847, $636,305; three Banks, having an aggregate capi tal of $900,000; and a Mutual Insurance Company, which has been highly successful in its operations. The perrons employed in the several manufacturing establishments have access to a library of 7000 vo lumes, belonging to the city. A hospital has been establish'd for the sick and disabled. The various factories produce weekly, an aggregate of 900 yards of oolton and 27,631 of woolen fabrics, in which 683,000 pounds of the raw material are 'consumed. . I TJie present population of Lowell is 30,000. In . 1828 it was only 3,532.

Religion and the I’ress —The Banner, of the Cross, an Episcopal journal, in speaking of the pow er of the press, says : “ If we desire relieous knowledge to keep pace wilh tho advance of all other knowledge, we must not disdain to übo the agency which the taste nnd habits of mir times have adopted as the chosen means of obtaining information. It would, per haps, astonish us, had we the means to discover hoiv many minds in this intelligent day depend for all the knowledge they acquire, through the press, upon newspapers. And how many more ol higher intellectual grade, derive their whole knowledge from periodical literature. And thus it is that re ligious intelligence, coming in the columns of a newspaper, secures attention, when in all other shapes it would be disregarded.” Expenditures or the Navv. —The bill for the support of the Navy, for the year ending June, j 1&47, now before the House of Congress, makes i appropriations amounting to $9,502,000. Among the objects arc the following: For the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, $50,551; Boston, $97,351; New.

The Guerrilla Flag.— The Albany Argus has an en- | craved representation of the Mexican-Guerrilla flag. It is described as about two feet long and from twelve to fifteen inches wide; the centre is a broad crimson •tripe, with the motto No Quarter t wrought in silk; on cither side of the centre is ablack stripe, ofabout half the width, with a Dcath’sHead and cross bones. It has a narrow border of pale green, and thepoints have tasselsof crimson. It is'usually borne on the end of a lance.- Consul of Peru. —The President of the United States officially recognises James J. Fisher as Con sul of Peru for the port of Baltimore, and entitled to all the privileges of the most favored in that line. Bash Attempt at Suicide—A young female, said tobe the wife of an individual recently arrested for forgery, attempted to throw herselffrom the second story window of a house in Market street, Philadel phia, on Wednesday afternoon. She was rescued with difficulty. Said to be deranged. Official Contradiction. —The Washington Union notices the rumor that the Rothschilds have offered to take the $16,000,000 loan, and says; << We have made inquiries at the department; and wo understand that no such proposition has been made at tho treasury. We attach no consequence eanyBucb rumor.” &3T A lady reading that a man had been sentenc ed to six months* hard labor for dog stealing,observ ed to a friend with a shudder, “Gracious t my love, what would certain of our rex have to endure for en trappin g puppies A New Paety nr Ireland.— A quarrel and sep aration have taken place between the editors of the Nation newspaper, the causus belli being the alleg ed necessity of an immediate appeal to arms against 1 English domination.
