Address, (post paid,) L. lIIRPER, March 9, 1849. Pittsburgh, Pa. The Gazette... The Markets, ire The statement which we deemed it our duty to make, in relation to the Eastern Market Reports, on Monday last. (in which we referred to our neigh bors of the Gazetted seems to have been seized with great avidity by the .Journal and its Jackal:, with a view to bring discredit upon the Reports of the Gazette, and to suptort its own claim to merit we an exc/usive commercial paper. With this paper, editorially, we can have nothing to do; aid there fore eater not into any controversy with it. This; however, we feel called on to any, that, so far as it respects the reports of eastern mathets, foreign and other news, P.c., communicated by Telegraph to the editors of thea - Gazetts, they are as as•curate as any others can bc, that are received in this city: they are also as regularly and faithfully reported: and are in all respect,' as worthy of confidence, as any reports received ID the West. This can be nicer mined by any one, who shall take the trouble to ex amine the eastern papers which reach us, contain ing the state of the markets from day to day. We believed that just such a statement as that given to our readers, was necessary; in order to place the matter, so far an we were concerned, in a proper light before them ; and we made it without any design or desire to Inflict upon our neighbors any injury whatever, or in the least degree to sues tion the accuracy of their reports. The plan which they adopted on that occasion, is, we are well informed, pursued to a considerable extent, amung the editors of eastern papers. At any rats, we can bee no harm, in making a report of the state of the markets as they are. When, therefore, a report reaches this place, that there has been no ahringe i n the prices of produce, sec. at the East, there can be no harm in giving the articles, with theprices of the previous day. This course is a positive advantage to any reader, who may either mil:remember or has not seen the prices of that day. Those a e matters which can all be judged of by the public ; and need, on our part, the aid of no "tickle and at aich" gen try, in order to bolster our claims to the favor of the public. We think that the course pursued by our neighbors of the Gazette tea fair and honorable one ; and therefore take pleasure in making thin additional statement, without basing any intimation from them that it would be agreeable, or that they have expected any thing of the kind. We make the statement purely from our own convictions of its justice. -- Democratic State Convention The only intelligence we have icceived from ilarradiurgh, relative to the proceedings of the Democratic State Convention, since the Telegraphic dcapatch given in Mondays papers comes through a letter writer to the Philadelr Ina News, n Fedora I paper. R. H. liznn, Esq., of this county, called the Convention to order, on Saturday, at 10 o'clock, A• M., when a temporary organization 11.14 cffected• The forenoon was occupied in examining credcn tials of Delegates. &c.

The Convention then proceeded to the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency, to be supported by the Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, which resulted as follows : For. James Buchanan, rr Geo. M. Dallas, " Lewis Cass, " Martin Van Buren, After ,some discussion, whether the Delegates should be appointed by the Gonvention, or by sepa rate Congressional Districts, it was at length agreed that the Districts should nominate, and the Conven tion confirm the nominations. The State Central Committee are also empowered to require of each delegate, a written pledge, that . he will carry out the wishes of the Democracy of Pennsylvania.

TAYLOIL..TIVIZ jpazsgtENcir. `There are many issldenctit li44lrontad :*:oar ;Minds, going to priike the otto*.e 'otttici Anti; that Gen. Taylor it Eon onl~ will eg to be a candidate for the ritiiiSiiiiiifeyibiatiliat to be 'a candidate ;'sinektthiat the Federal party will be compelled to lake hiin dii'their candidate, without regard to the flaming pretensions of devotion to principle, which they have held forth to their fellow citizens, under the disguised natnei of-National Re publicans and Whigs. We propose to submit to our readers a few of the, evidences that have led us to adept this belief. - It is well known to our readers,that Gen. TAYLOR, in his celebrated Letter to, the editor of the Cincin nati Signal, said, "In no case can I permit myself to be the candidate of any .party, or yield myself to -party schemes." Ina letter to p.B. Saran, of Phila delphia, dated at Monterey, July 6,1847, (arid this was in reply to a communication sent to him on the part - of the native faction,) he says,--speaking of the Presidency,--" .ff fever fill that high office, it must be untrammeled with party obligations or inte rests of any kind; and vanes NONE any THOSE WHICH THE Conirtranort, AND MOH INTERESTS OF TISZ NATION AT LARGE, MONT SERIOUSLY AND SOL EMNLY DEMAND." "I do not desire the Presiden cy ; and only yield thus far my anent to be con sidered a candidate, in the 'lame proportion in which it is desired by the People, irrespective of party." Similar - to these, were the expressions of General Taylor in numerous other letters: so numerous, in deed, that the portion of the Federal party which were clamorOus in his favor, during the greater part of last year, began to question, seriously, whether it would do to think of him as a candidate at all.— They thought he bad written too many letters; and, until within the last three months, it was question ed, in the most Intelligent Federal circles, whether Gen. Taylor could be taken up as a Federal candi date. He had been written to, in order to ascertain his sentiments on some of the leading topic, that had divided the country, in such # manner, as on ren der it unnecessary that he should avow himself an adherent of either party; and, when interrogated on these points, he told the writers that ho knew noth ing about politics: that be had been so long con nected with the active operations of the army, as to have had no time, (if he had felt disposed,; to give to these subject■ such a degree of munition, as would enable him to form a judgment upon them. Various had been the conjectures in relation to the political preerences of Gen. TAYLOR, (as it seemed he had formed no political opinions,). until some of the more far-sighted, among the Federalists, made the discovery, in some way_ that he must bee iVh(g. One of the number knew he was a Whig, because, if he were not, he would have long since declared his opinions 1 Ile could not be a Democrat; be cause, in that case, he could have no motive for con• coaling his opinions ! This avowal, made in a Fed eral newspaper, was in substance made before a meeting of that party in Philadelphia, by Jostrri 11. liceensoLe, who declared that Gen. Taylor wile . ," a Whig,—uot, indeed, an ultra pa tisan Whig—but a Whig in principle." How far this was calculated to satisfy the party, of his orthodoxy, cannot tio deter mined ;—but as Mr. Ingersoll wrote to Gen. Taylor, iuforniing him that he had takes' the liberty to vouch fur him to the party as a Whig, the General, in re ply, tells him that he .was right in this, and that he dues not see how any one could have suppoeed he was any thing else. In this reply, he says: "(must say, that I have no wish for the Presidency; and cannot consent to be r.xemrseveur the candidate of a party." He also ventures to tell why he is a Whig ; and, singularly enough, the reason is, because Mr. CLAY is avi hig; and be thinks that his views were those of the Ifhigs ; for the most part more nearly assimilated, as regards political matters, to those of Mr. Jefferson, than their opponents, to whnee political creed I was reared, end whose opin ions, in matters of State, I have never lust sight of, as well as endeavored to conform to them as near as my circumstances would permit." And lie clones by saying, that, if he shall he chosen President, it must be " without pledges, other than I have pre viously stated,--a strict adherence to the provisions of the Constitution." In a letter date/ on the 30th of January last, at Baton Rouge, addressed to the leader of the Natives in Philladelphia (P, S. Salon,) lie says that he shall esteem it an honor to be nominated for trit, Presi dency by any body of his Ibllaw-citiEeria, "designat ed by any some they might choose to adopt,"—and that he "would accept such nomination, provided it had been made ENTIRELY INDEFELTDEITT or PARTY Cots SIDERATIORS." It has been from the perusal of the numerous let term written by Gen. TAYLOR, that we have been led to be] ieve he is not only willing but anxious to be n candidate for the Presidency. We have presenteda few extracts from some of these letters, and leave them with our readers, for the present, without fur-' ther comment. They can form their own conclu sions respecting them. On the other point, involv ed in the opening paragraph in this article, we shall offer some remarks in our next paper. Another Letter from pen. Taylor. The Cincinnati Chronicle gives to the public an other letter from Gen. Taylor, to Col. A. M. Mitch ell of that city. The letter " will speak for itself." Miaow Roonc, La., Feb. 12, 1848. My •DEAR CoLnrrEL :—Yeur very kind communi cation, and the accompanying newspaper, have duly reached me. In reply to the closing remarks of your letter. have no hesitation in stating, as I have stated on for mer occasions, that I am a-Whig, though rot an ul tra ono, and that / have n 2 desire to conceal this fact from any portion of the people of the United States. 1 deem it but candid, however to add, that if the Whig party desire, -at the next Presidential election, to cast their votes for me, they must do it on their own responsibility, and without any pledges from me. Should I be elected to that office, I should deem it to be my duty, and - should most certainly claim the right, to look to the Constitution and the high interests of our common country, and not to the principles of a party, for my rules of action. With my sincerest thanks for your expression of friendship, and . ,my best ,wishes for your success through life, I Amalfi; itery'truly, your friend and obedient servant, Z TAYLOR.. Col. A. M.

LOCAL ::MATTERS;' itevirtutitik excitement est. now ; havreiey;•theilModels oicupy.the atten tion Of most people---good citizens are calculating the ways and mean! of preventing such exhibitions in the future. The Panorama is about tiaclose,and the woolly horse don't seem to draw, as some horses do. Mesmerism has gone.. There is a little controversy'6' about Telegraphic Dispatches, which excites the merchants of Wood, Water and Liberty streets-; but, beyond these, nothing is said. Americans are an excitable people—so travelers say. Pittsburghera are particularly so. Just say Railroad line, and ,forthwith it is in every person's mouth. Large meetings are congregated, speeches full of argument, sarcasm,and patriotism, are pour ed forth. A lecture upon some new science or new humbug (it matters hot which,) can cause a great commotion ; and, if the pricesjustify, and the room be fashionable, large audiences come together to hear the aevelopomente. We all remember the man who did not fly from the Band street Bridge.— Thousands attended ; and, after the denouement, all tnughed at the humbug—but no one was there! Unfortunately, this is the fate of truth excitements. As soon as the lecturer or experimenter leaves the city, people relapse, and think no more on the sub ject; or only think it nonsense. Well, what comes next. We shall see. Perhaps Manager Porter may introduce something to kill time and produce town talk. It is hoped he will ; and we know he'll try, for he loves to please his friends. Or, perhaps, theßail road fevers may break out again : the spring weather is favorable. Or, perhaps, some person will introduce a smoke cense , mer. This would be grand—it would be worth, in point of dollars; more than half a dozen Railroads. The Misses Pike propose to lecture on Mnemonics, this week. We shall see what they will do. We have just heard that a Temperance lecturer bas ar rived in the city. writ is amusing to notice the slick style in which scone of the papers excuse their neglect of duty to the public, in not denouncing .the Model Artist ex hibitions. Says one and all : r. The denunciations have done more to fill the house than any thing else." This may be true, but is still no reason why such an outrageous evil should not be condemned by the Press. That Mr. McClurg and others realize a large sum from the exhibitions, does not grieve us; we du not objict to the managers pocketing the rummy that visitors may leave with them.. But the denueciations of the press, in the east and west, have worked great good. • Respectable people have been prevented from attending, as a general thing; ladies have net yet been seen within the walls of the Atheneum Hall, since the exhibitions com menced, and we doubt whether that Hail will ever , be visited 1.1,v a decent woman again. And further more, the exhibitions have been mere . chaste than they otherwise 'would have been--the Kirmidable op poodles' has driven the. band to make some sacrifice to public virtue. Another group will never make its appearance in Pittsburgh 'lt could not be sus tained. Should the eidn(iitions be chaste and class ic, the lewd will not attend ; and without this ease. a sufficient support cannot be obtained ; for the re fined and virtuous will not countenacce them on account of their evil tendency. We believe that we, humb'e as we are, have con• tributed something to the public good, in being the first to expose those rr groups , ' of worthless people, who have descended to the most degraded of all earthly occupations, fur the means of support. We shall centinse to denounce them, even though we may be told that we help to fill their houses. 3;41" The Councils of Allegheny are about to pals an ordinance to prevent gambling with ten-pins.

The general impression seems to be to-day, more decided in favor ofthe ratification of the treaty with a few modifications. Some seem to consider that the striking out of the 10th clause, respecting the Mexican grants of land, decreases the chance for its ratification. This would seem to be a mistake. On the contrary, the modification in this respect, which is recommended by the President, in creases the chance for its confirmation. The ques- Con will probably be taken early In the next week.,, Recoil of Pnhlto Opinion. When, two months ago, we denounced Collyees disgraceful exhibition ofthe "Model Artistes," there were not wanting those who shook their heads and said we had only advertised immorality. We went forward, however, in the work. Satisfied that right was on our side, we did our duty, and left the rest to the future. But we foretold some of these timor ous friends of morality, that, though there might be no perceptible effect to our articles then, the time would come when there would be a reaction', and when tbeae exhibitions would not only be discounte nanced by citizens, but put down by the strong' arm of the law. Our predictions have been verified. The first reanit of our hold stand was, that females ceased visiting the artistes; next, that respectable citizens generally refused to go; and finally that the public authorities interfered. The district ofSpring Garden has the honor of leading the van in_ this no ble work; the Southern citizens followed; and now New York is about to suppress them. Hereafter let no one say that it is ever impolitic to denounce - wrong. The rebuke ofsin is always in season. Mall men would do their duty fearlessly, we should have less vice and crime in the world. We must not always expectimmedinto results."Caat thy bread upon the waters, " says the Scripture, "and, after many days thou halt find it."

The Journal intimates that the opposition which the MODEL Annan met with from one or two pa , pets, was the cause of whatever success they bad; and if no 'opposition had been manifested, they would not have collected an audience ! If this is true, it has a singular corollary for the moral he roes of the world to contemplate. Then preaching is c. foolishness!". and every effort of the Christian to resist the Prince of Darkness—to enter his strong holds—to beat back his legions--to rescue souls from perdition-,—is an act inimical to the laws of and the Bible must be a fable ! Is this the:conclu son to which the Journal would bring the minds of its readers I will put the Journal's argument hi the form of a sylliigism, so that the public may clearly under stand it: Major proposition—TO oppose Model Artistes in the columns of a newspaper, is but to increase the desire of the people to see them ; Minor proposition—Model Artiste exhibitions are vicious and immoral; Conclusion—Thereforo to oppose vice and immor ality, is but to widen the bourithwies of Satan's em pire, and macadamize the road that leadeth to per dition. Such shallow and fallacious reasoning is easily . se - in 'fluent; and the mire and quicksands beneath it will hardly lead any ono to think that Truth lies at the bottom. SENEX. SENEX TO Max.
