Freak rn advertisement In the " Pennsylvanian,"
isnirrectrive that i numherof the iron manufacturers
etftthi State, have called a contention of their craft,
tailitilteld at It urisbuit on the 22d instant, "for the
pansciera of tleirising soma plan in order to aceom
pN 'every - honorable endcaver, a remedy for
I,lqll' complained or, - and of making known, both
tiiiiiii - General and State Government', the iniut ions
.ewes of the present Revenue Laws on the great ate
pie interests of Pennsylvania."
In stating the case to their fellow-manufacturers,
' lb! 1 ,77
: sWe cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that a great
- -revulsion has come upen thole interests within a
einrysliort period, and it is equally obvious that this
event is directly ettri' utable to a revulsion of the
.sinie kind upon. the same branches of industry in
&Wand..
1, It becomes us, therefore, whose interests are
- deeply involved, to enquire wh) the industrial b ranch
of this Country should necessarily depend so in.
Itetately upon those of foreign countries, that when
theirs are prostrated, and ruin hovers over them, ours
ri..Aiinsinsoleed in a similar unfortunate crisis—that for
-every pulsation of the foreign market ours should re
spond :that no foresight or prudence oh our part,
based upon the domestic demand or domestic supply,
east protect us against the imprudence and wild spec
. slallous of foreigners.
Tit beiomes us also to enquire, why the late de
mend for iron in Europe, which inflated prices to
wee.b a pitch that it could not be imported into thus
. .aellatry;'and of necessity induced the construction
of a large number of Furnaces and Rail Mill for the
• perpoiseof supplying iron fle our own improvements,
which otherwisw must hare come to a stand, having
nedihsaly ceased abroad. English Iron is now pnur
hag is upon ns at Or ens ruinous to the American
)laantetnresp an' the result is, that many mills
; beet already snaraded ' operations from necessity,
.itadlbeusands of laborers are • deprived of employ-
cannot, rarely, require any very great degree
-Ist roseartit) to enable any one to get at the reasons
~Mumbo of the manufactur:es of this coup
try, tuot'merely of iron, but of other articles,) have
ii4euded operations. , Prudent men, as well in
::Ertglund es in this countr3, long since foretold the
- - rtitsiat Or those rinses which inflated the prices o
irtrai.'and gave ad.litional stimulus to other mans
&Maros in England; and they foresaw and foretold
rtheeffect which was likely to be produced to some
. • andont in. our oven country. The hundreds of mil
' 'littiuriteminally invested in railroads there, neces
4Mily, gave such an impetus to the iron business,
. to lead to a most tremendous revulsion in that
- Nude, it t h e moment when it vas found that the
c achet:tea of the railroad speculators wore visionary.
•Thltrnamiltion could not Le confined to that buss
-416' aiu alone; because of the undue action which had
. betriiforced. into other branches of business. Too
much reliance had .heen placed u; on mere credit ;
. omit when the tiine for reckoning came, all branches
felt tbe effect that had been produced. American
erteulaters deemed the time a favorable one, in
.which- to push their fortunes. The extraordinary
'demands for iron in England, to finish railroads in
every part of the country, it was thought, would
- -necessarily prevent that country from supplying us
ehe had done, unless at prices which would make
*tuna for those who might embark in the business
hare. • The experiment wis deemed worth a trial.
` . ls4res of pew iron establishments sprung up : nu
- :.mitrotis new railroads were projected in our own
~,tountry.: the prices of iron rapidly rose,' as a necea
lay consequence of the state of things existing and
anticipated : millions of credit were invested : iron
to en neprocedented amount was to be seen where
- . . • .
oral she Ore could be obtained : and all went on
irwititingly, until the British revulsion. reminded
ear speculums, that they had embarked in a hazard.
k tetobesitiess : that they had been producing the ma
. - . Wild to in extent fir beyond the actual necessities
country:of the that British speculators were siop
• pod la their eehernes : that, if the British manufac
ttitirserild at all,they must sell to us and that they
'Seat sell at prices far below those to which our iron
kad hoes raised. Our manufacturers now founa
:that the prices of iron must be at once reduced, to
the paint at which they were found before the mania'
,
operatedupon our country. The speculators must
:esittleitptbeir beiiiness: and this, of course, affords
them c glorious oppo tehity to try the effect of an
trots porde, and , to manifest that supreme love for
iho' rhOeireede of laborers who are deprived of
employment."
iiitt business been confined to men of capital
alone, or even to prudent business men, who strove
- ~.:ttkregulatit their business according to the steadily
prOgreMing demands of the country, England may
have lone on to make iron, until all her ships
would have been unable to carry it from her shores,
withoutmaterially affecting the business of the coun
try. For we see not now, nor have we been for
=ay years, an dependent upon her, or any other
eoustry, bat that we could have done at least as
•
will without her productions, as she could do whit
est ours. We therefore deny the assertion, con-
Weed is this circular, that—o. The dependence of
this country upon the fluctuations of English prices
for ire., of necessity inrolves the existence of this
breech of American and pre-eminently Pennsylvania
laduata7,"
•o The evils complained of," and of which it is
propbsed to tabus the General and State Govern •
masts, are all ascribed to the Tariff of 1846, which,
its eaid--
" Whets the priee [of iron] is high abroad, in
creepy the duton imported iron $3 per ton for
every &hasp of )10, and no protection is wanted;
sad wheythe price is low, diminishes the duty $3

Instead:of 'the present equitable system of odour

return for his labor: that he. will not pursue such
a course as to glut the market with any of his
productions: that, finding there is-a probability of
an undue supply of any article in the market, he
will not add to that supply : and that, when, in the
ordinary operations of trade, any article of produce
has fallen in price, he is nut bound to charge the
government with teeing the .originaterof the cause
which led to this result. Ile knows, too, that, in
all individual transactions, men willbuy of these
who sell articles that best suit then, and at the I
lovrestprices; and that they sell to those who offer
them the'greaten inducements and give them the
best prices. They know that this is the settled
policy among individuals, which needs no regula
ifirm by the government; and that the nation is but
an aggregation of individuals. They, therefore,
very generally, think that the policy universally
sanctioned among individuals is correct; and can
not see why government should be called in to
interfsre with matters which, if let al. ne, will
much more satisfactorily regulate themselves.
The projectors of the meeting further say, that—
" It is the duty, therefore, of all interested in the
production of iron and coal in this state, seriously
to enquire whether a policy so fatal to departments
of onr industry, essential to national prosperity and
independence, will be persevered in "under circum
stances so di fferent from those exiating when the
present tariff became a law. The genets; govern
ment cannot be insensible to the representations
which it Is our duty as Pennsylvanians, as well as
manufacturers and miners, to make, nor should it
withhold any reined> in its power tending to ameli
orate the evil and injustice bearing so onerously on
these highly important branches of demestic in
dustry.';
If the government must be compelled .to pass
laws for the protection of our citizens in their hush.
tee's', the better plan would be, in our opinion, to
devise some means by which protection would be
insured against all the schemes of mere speculators
This were an end, to the attainment of which the en
ergies of every patriotic citizen would be at once
most cheerfully directed. Instead of spending hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in devising plans to
protett a few individuals, in such a manner as to en
able them to realize immense fortunes, at the ex
pense of the balance of the community, let our fe
gielrtors spend their time in perfecting plans for.
ameliorating the condition bf the toiling millions ;
sad guarding them against the insidious but certain
encroachments of wealth in the hands of the few,
and we shall hear much len clameLabout the mal
administration of our affairs ; we shall have fewer
seasons of panic on the approach of a presidenti
al election ; find fewer honest operatives out of
employment; and a much more general diffusion
of social and political equality, as well as of indi
vidual and general prosperity.
This article was intended for insertion sonic days
since; but has been deferred till this time. The
subject rokarred to in the circular, is one of much
importance, and Ne shall probably refer to it
again.

The Democratic Stale Convention
Will assemble at Ifarrisburgh, on Saturday next,
the 4th inst. Moat of the Delegates have already
arrived, and, from all we can learn, there will
doubtless be a full attendance. That the Coin eu-
/ I
tion will be a harmonious one, we do not enter.
tato a doubt. The Delegate. selected to represent
the voice of the various counties in the State, are
men of well-estabiished political integrity, who will
act with an eye single to the interests of the Dem
ocratic party. With the exception of those who
represent a few counties, the Deleptem oil go into
the Convention instructed to vote fur the nomina
tion of Pennsylvania's favorite son, Jean BUCHAN
AN, the accomplished statesmati—the firm Demo.
crat—the distinguished Secretary of State. Aa
BUCHANAN is unquestionably the choice or the
Democracy of Pennsylvanisove would he pleased
to learn that the Delegates, who have been instruct
ed to vote for another eminent Democrat, would,
at once, throw their cotes and their influence in
favor of the nomination of Mr. BUCHANAN, so that
his name may he presented to the National Conven
tion, at Baltimore, as the unanimous choke of Penn
sylvania. Such a course would only be carrying
out the popular will, which should altrays be su
preme, and to which Democrats should yield.
the unanimous vote of this State given for Mr.
BUCHANAN, it will have a powerful influence in the
National Convention, and will contribute, more
than any other circumstance, to secure his nomina
tion in that body.
We do not apprehend that there will be the
slightest difficulty in our State Convention. The
duty of the Delegates is so plain, that there can
bn no conflicting elements at work, to mar the har
mony of their deliberations. To be sure, the• Fe
deralists are anticipating a schism, in regard to the
abstract question of Sla'.ery, from the mere fact,
that DAVID Wtzucrr is a Delegate, and will take a
part in the proceedings. But those who lay this
flattering unction to their ,souls, know but little
of the Democracy of Fennitylvania. Mi. WILMOT,
on that question, will probably stand " solitary and
alone," and will not find a single coadjutor in the
work of disorganization. Those who are so desir
ous of witnessing a division in the Convention, in
regard ro slavery, will therpfore be egregiously
disappointed. The Convention will be harmonious,
and we feel tonfident that the Delegates will not
be so foolish as to adopt an issue made for them
by the Federal party.
Siir We are pleased to learn, by a private tele
graphic dispatch from Ilarrisburgh, that the nomi
nation of SAND/L Jorrs, Esq., as Associate Judge
for Allegheny county, has Lire confirmed by the
Senate. This confirmation will prove highly grati
fying, not only to the personal and political friends
of Mr. Jogs, but to the citizens of this ceunty,
generally, without reference to party or sect. Judge
Jos= will no doubt prove in upright judicial officer,
an 3 iii all matters which may come before him fur
decision, he will, we feel certain, be merciful as
well as just.
tssr The Boston Advertiser says; "a letter from
Rio Janeiro, of Dec. 29, states that the family of the
U. 8. Minister, Mr. Via, nine in number, ware to
take passage in the ship Peterhoff, of Boston,for New
Orleans. The P. would probably sail about the mid_

the horizon,—nothinereniltins here, but their bury
ing-placei. Every other trace has been crossed
out by another hand, and even these once conse
crated spots—the only marks of a former race,
and the indubitable proofs of veneration fur the
dead—have not escaped the utilitarian passion of
the age
Among the many places in this country that
held the Indian dead, none are so full of inte
rest as the one in Plum Township, bearing the
appellation of " The Indian Hill." The burying
ground is near the centre of this Township, - about
fourteen miles east - of Pittsburgh, and adjacent to
a arm of 8.. M. Ross. Tradition says that on
this Hill were buried, alone, their hereditary
Chiefs and their Braves; no plebian carcase was
ever suffered to desecrate the.hallowed place, and
that it remained—to the' inanirnste brave and
princely dead—sacred to the last.
Indeed, such would seem to be eminently true
from the topography of the place. Its situation
is on a knoll of the most elevated ground within
ten or fifteen miles, and from its summit, may he
enjoyed, at any time, especially during the months
of summer, one of the finest views in Western
Pennsylvania. On turning to the South-East, the
eye stretches away to the Alleghenies, piercing
the plane of the horizon, and looming up in misty
blue. Turning westward, a prospect is command
ed of the whole angle of country lying between
the Tallies of the Rivers, and in its apex, the sure ,
indication of the locality of " our City of Smoke.'r . ,
It would seem the very unibicus of a vast tract:'
of ground, whose height was a fit emblem, andil
whose crown a fit receptacle of the wild, aristo
cratic dead. But it Would seem even more 50 ., 1

The following anecdote, illustrative of the life and
character of one of the heroes, through whose 1116
trepidny the conquest of Mexico has been achiev-
ed, is related by Musrono, the eloquent and peril-
ot.c correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, in a
letter from Mexico, dated 20th of January la t:
" I have been intending, for some time, to relate
to you an incident of the battle of Contreras, which
more truly illustrates the character of Cot.
who commanded the assault, than any thing itslt
has occurred during the war. You will recolleUt
that the difficult and almost impassable nature*
the ground over which the troops had to pass,'On
order to get at the rear of the enemy's work, delnj•
eel them much longer than was anticipated Ill°
object was to get into position from whence Glo r y I
were to assault unperceived, so that they might ear
prise the enemy. By the time the advanced troops
were formed, . 1 grey day " peeped crier the mono
tome, and fears were entertained by sonic that the
movement on the fort was perceived and hytavilits.
Accordingly, a young officer ati pped up to the
•• Old Sinner," as we familiarly call him, and said,
•• Colonel, I em afraid we are too late; it is per
fectly light; the enemy have discovered us; they will
annihilate the whole command it we approach down
this smooth gradual descent." " I don't care a
d—n," replied the old soldier, " I have Gen. Smith's
order in my pocket ;" and suiting the action to ''the
ord, taking his sword in his left hand, commanded,
" Quick time —charge!"—and remarked to his Alen,
" Now, my brave fellows, give them hell ; lei the
bayonet do its work." It acted like a charm upon
the men, who, promptly supported by Gen. Gad
wallader with his command, swept the enemy's
works like a humane. As soon as the fortification
was carried, he vere coolly remarked to the y4ting
officer, " Sir, the first duty of a soldier is to Obey
orders." This strict observance of the first milita
ry principle, carried out the beautifully concerts - 0d
plan of Gen. Smith, and secured the most brilliant
victory of the war."

The• Late Ex.Pitesittent. Adams.
Mr. Adams was born in Braintree in this State, on
SAturday, Ju y 11, 1767, and vas consequently in
h 1 81st year at the time of his death. He accom
fi!siiied his father to France in 1778, and in 1781,,
when only fourteen yeara of age, was appointed by
Mi. Dana, our Russian minister, Secretary of Lega
tion. After travelling some time in Europe; he re
turned, entered Harvard University with an advanc
k.il standing, graduated with all the honors in 1787
_find afterwards studiedlaw under Chief Justice Par-
Sans.
.; In May 1794, he was appointed by his tlither resi
7dent minister at theUnitcd Netherlands. From 179-1
td 1901 ho was in Europe, employed in diplomatic,
business, and as a public Minister, in Holland, Eue
diand and Prussia. Just as President Wjahington
:.vas retiring from office, he appointed hiti,tliniiiter
:Plenipotentiary to Portugal. While on his way to
..Lisbon he leceived a n:ew commission, changing his
destination to Berlin. He resided in Berlin from
November, 1797, to April, 1801 ; and while there
concluded a highly important treaty of commerce
with Prussia, thus accomplishing the object of his
mission. He was then recalled- just bellire tho close
'Of his fathers administration, and arrived at Phila '
ilelphia in September, 1601.
In 180:1 he was elected, from the Boston district,
to member of the Massachusetts Senate and was
.soon a ft er appointed by the Legislature . ?that State,
;a Senator in the Congress of the United States for
six years from the 4th of March, 1803. As his
views of publieduty led him to adopt a course which
he bad reason to believe was disagreeable to dm
Legislature of the state he represented, he resigned
his seat in March, 1809. In March, 1809, President
• .Madison nominated him 'Enifvy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Russia.
' Some time previous to this, however, in Iso6, he
had been appointed professor of Rhetoric in Harvard
'University, at Cambridge in Massachusetts.
Mr- Adams was one or the Cotninissioneri who
negotiated the treaty of peace with Great Britain al
Ghent, in December,lBl4. In 1817, he was appoint
ed Secretary of State by President Monroe.
In 1824 he was elected President of the United
States, by the House of Representatives, no election
having been made by the people.
Mr. Adams for some years represented his dis
trict in Congress, and to the last took an active part
in the debates of that body.
Possessed ofdeep and varied learning and accom
plishments. of indellitigable industry, of eminent
talents and untarnished private reputation, Mr. Ad
ams enjoyed an enviable position in the eye of the
world, and in the sphere or 'social life. the was one
of the moat marked men of the period, rind his vol

lion and experience, should they he ;.? , en to the

to be admirable. We wish it may be elector!.
After the Convention had adjourned, the rollow
ing letter appeared in the Providence Herald:
Mr. Simons:—After the choice of Delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, by the Democratic Mate Con
vent onof the 22d inst., was ascertained, I should,
if present,—have declined my election axone of the
delegates, and I now decline the 111111 C through

We learn, from the last Europe-in inertial', that
this brava chief, who has been compared to Sir •
William Wallace, and whose romantic enterprises
bear a great resemblance to tliosc of the Scofti-h
chieftain, is still at Toulomo. When he capitulat
ed, he stipula:ed that he should be carried to Acre
or Alexandria;
but the French minister declared
that he could be allowed logo to Awe on no account,
add that for Alexandria, it world be necesary first to
obtain the consent of Mohammed Ali. The proba
bility is, therefore, that he will end his days in a
French fortress.—Those days, we tangy, wilt not be
many ; for the wild spirit of freedom, which has borne
him up so long against the oppressors of hiscountry,
wit soon languish in the walls of a dungeon, and lie
will die, as many a captivehas died before, of a bro
ken heart. Such, alas !is too often found the re•
ward of patriotism ; a sentiment which we can ad
mire in this wild and untutored Arab, as we could
in the most highly polished citizeu of the most civ
ilzed nation of the world.
Abd el•Kader has -a young French woman for a
wife, who, it is said, manifests the greatest devotion
to him, and has resisted resolutely all attempts to
seperate her from him. She is resolved to share his
fortunes to the last; a proof, that ilong with his
wild and daring disposition, he bears a heart that can
bend itself to tenderness, in the midst of the do•
mastic circle.
The Nashville Union, in noticing an account of a
poll given on one of the New Orleans packets, makes
•
the following very just remarks :--
"The bone and sinew of the country, who corn
pose the mass of the democracy, very seldom get
aboard steamboats. They travel to the pulls when
there is voting to be dune, and to the field when there
is fighting to be done; and thisis about the extent of
their travels. They stay at home and work their
farms, while Federal loafers talk politics about the
towns, or get up sham elections on steamboats.
They ere raising. young democrats to defend the
country, wßile these federalists are scheming how
they can most disgrace it; and although they never
vote nor fight far fun, they have been able thus far
in our own history to vote down our domestic ene
mies, and to soundly thrash our foreign enemies—
when the game of either voting or fighting has got to
be done in earnest."

Deady from a Slight Cold.—By neglecting those salutary

we cannot recollect. .Messrs. Von - Bonliorst and
Robinson were chosen Secretaries.
• Hon. C. Darragh arose, and announced the death
of the Hon. Joust Quiw&i: ADAMS, and in beautiful
and truthful language, paid a tribute to his memory,
He conluded by offering the following Resolutions:
,
Resolped, By the Whigs - of Allegheny county, in
Convetition assembled, ttrat th4•have learned with
deep sorrow, the death of Jolts QuittcY-AnAms, in
the Capitol at Washington, and that inconarion with
their countrymen :they mourn the lose of such an
lustrious Man as a great•natiMial bereavement:

has been 'familiar, as a scholar, a statesman, and a
patriot. One to whom our fathers direeted us as a
model of integrity;industry, truth an application in
all his relations,•whether to public or private life.
That we rejoice that's, bright an example has been
permitted to us so long, giving light to the paths of
two generations, to be extinguished at last in the
midst of the councils of the nation.
Resolved, That in consideration of the long and
eminent public services of John Quincy Adams, our
veneration and love for his character as a distinguish;
eil, long•tried and faithful public servant—our sense
of the value of his example as a citizen, a public
benefactor and a patriot, we lament his death as
national affliction.
Resolved, That these resolutions be recorded on
the minute's of this meeting, and published with the
proCcedinge of this convention.
Mr. C. 0. Loomis . arose to second the Resolu
tions,. and delivered a short but pertinent address,
touching the life and character of the deceased
statesin-in and philanthropist.,
The Recolutions were then passed unanimi.usly„
The Convention proceeded to call for the creden
tials of delegates, beginning at the First Ward, Pitts- i
burgh. When the Seeretaries reached the Third
Ward, it .as announced that two set: claimed seats.
A cloud appeared in the distance, which portended
a storm, and one of the claimants began to swell
prodigiously. However, a motion was made and
adopted, postponing the consideration of the claims
of the two sets, until the complete organization of
the Convention
After all the other delegates ware called upon
and vacancies filled, &c., the Third Ward setae was
taken up. Great commotion was the consequence.
It was a matter of vast importance to the country,
a nd hence the anxiety to have entire justice dune.
Mr-Loomis moved the appointment of a commit- I
tee to investigate the affair. After some discussion,
the chair appointed a committee—Mr. John Morri
son, of Allegheny, Chairman.
It appeared that all the districts of the county
were represented. except Franklin. The chair, and
the members of the convention generally, regretted
this' very much. Mr. Murray, seeing the difficulty
of having a break in the delegation, moved that
Alex. Miller, Esq., be appointed agent for the pur
pose of drumming up delegates for Franklin town
ship. Amid thc confusion, we did not leain wheth
er the resolution was adopted or not.
The gentlemen nominated for Delegates to the
National Convention, and for Elector for this Dis
trict, were called upon to express their preferences
as to the Presidency. Mr. Ds:Tagil arose and spoke
for some time, during which lie elated that he was
for any person who could be elected. He was for
Scott first, Taylor last. With all his repugnance to
Slavery, he would support Taylor, in order to dis
place the present Administration. He would put
no obstacles in the way of Mr. Clay.
Mr. Loomis appeared for Dr. Dale ; said hr would
endeivrer to remove obstacles in the way of Mr.
Clay a he was for Clay and no one else.
tWe were not in, during the delivery of these
speeches, and depend upon second-hand report, for
an account of the positions of the candidates.]
After considerable confusion, the Convention pro
ceeded to mark for. five Delegates to State Conven
tion, one Delegate to National Convention, and an
Elector for this District:
After the lapse of some time, it was announced
that all the delegates had appeared and marked,
except those from the Third Ward.
The report of the investigating committee was
called for, when L. S. Johns, Esq., offered the re
port of the majority, in favor of Messrs. Magee and
Palmer, the Scott delegates; Mr. Morrison offered
the minority report in favor of Messrs. M.Masters
and Gregg, the Clay claimants.
Here commenced.a settee of Indescribable confu•
sion. The chair decided that the report of the corn
mitt e was final. The Clay men Protested that the
chair erred. All the members were on their feet,
' and clustered around the desk. Motion upon motion
was made ; and amendment after amendment was
offered. Some got spunky; others wanted to make
speeches upon subjects coenected with national
affairs generally, and Ward meetings particularly.
The decision of the chair appeared to be sustained,
but no one was certain, for those outside the bar
presumed to make a noise for their respective sec
' dons of the great party. A division was called for;
some wanted eyes and nose; and we saw one gen-
I demon who looked wolfish enough to, fight.
' At length, however, we.,notioed that the Scott
men were marking, and no one appeared to object.
We could not understand by what authority ; but as
our readers can feel but little interest in the matter,
we will not stop to enquire. The stubloirnnesit-4
the Chair seemed to triumph. -
Ald. Johns altered a resolution instructing the
Delegates to vote for Gen. Taylor. This raised a
laugh. Several persons moved that it be laid on the
table, and one man moved that it be laid under the
table. The Alderman stepped out to make a speech,'
and said, " The serviv,es of Gen. Taylor"—when
the confusion silenced him.
Mr. Franklin thought - it would be well to an
nounce the result of the marking--they wanted to
know who wan elected. Others thought it would he
proper to vote instrnetinne, before the Delegates
were announced. Mr. Young (of the Quarter Ses
sions) moved tliat the: delegates go uninstructed.
After further discussion, Mr. Loomis moved to strike
out Gen. Taylor, and insert Henry Clay. This was
carried. ,
The Chair here stated that the Resolution had
passed. Hero was more confusion ; only the
amendment passed. A delegate from one ef the
-city districts (who murdered the King's English on
several- occasions during the sitting of the Conve rt _
h o w in a stentorian voice declared that the decision
was an outrage. A motion was made for the adop
tion of the Resolution as amended. This was car
ried, decidedly. Yet the Scott men wanted a divi
sion, or the yeas and nays—which they did not get.
So that the Whigs and Antimasens of Allegheny
county, are in favor of HENRY CLAY for the Presi
dency.
The Oecretariei announced the, names of the per
sons elected, as follows:
Delegates to State Convention—Mosars. Stuart,
Van Kitk, Scully, Day and Hersh.
Delegate to National Convention-L.Dr. Date. [Dr.
D. received 45 votes; Mr. Darragh 42.]
Elector—A. W. Loomis, Esq. (Mr. L. received
65 votes; Mi. Denny 22. [These gentlemen run upon
their personal popularity alone.] •
Mr. C. 0. Loomis offered a string of Resolutions,
pledging the Convention to support the nominee
'of the Convention, whether he be Scott, Clay, Tay
lor, or any body else. Also, declaring the hostility
of the Party to the extension of Slavery. - The Re
solutions were passed unanimously. .
After which, the Convention adjourned. .
—We must say, that the Convention was large
and spirited; and we not :often see abetter limiting
set of men collected. . . together ; .as - to took's, they
were all passablexeept the little .eplinkling of

TO THE CITIZENS OF PITTSBURGH
GEICTLEMEN:—A Hydrant has been permed in Pitts
burgh, the patent of which is under, the name of
Robert Colvin, of Lancaster county,, Pa. On the
subject of this worthy invention by Mr. Colvin and
the respectable company connected with hint, I
have only to remark , that as an Agent for them, I
wish justice to be done in the rvernises, and, lest
an improper expression may be used 'to the preju
dice of the Inventor of the scheme, I take the un
qualified liberty, of suggesting 'to the citizens of
.Pittsburgh, and Allegheny C:ty, to lay, that this
Hydrant is not gotten up by fiction, but for the in
tent of reality, and that, when properly placed . or
established in the ground, or on the premisesreatis
faction will inevitably fhllow. The only Hydrant
of this company is to be seen on the 'corner of sth
and Liberty streets in Pittsburgh. But, in conse
quence of the pipe from the Water Works being
out of order or in a state of leaking, justice cannot
be done in the premises—that is, to the worthy and
most esteemed inventor. I would now. only suggest
to the public, that due honor and integrity on the
part of the undersigned, is all that is requisite to en
sure comfort to those who may feel disposed to,ex
; ercise their influence or in any way *mote the in
terests of those concerned--mutually.
