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.
In the afternoon, the collimateo previously ap
pointed to select officers, made the following report ,
which was agreed to :

by the Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, which
resulted as follows :
For. James Buchanan,
rr Geo. M. Dallas,

After ,some discussion, whether the Delegates

that the Districts should nominate, and the Conven

Committee are also empowered to require of each
delegate, a written pledge, that
. he will carry out
the wishes of the Democracy of Pennsylvania.
The Cohverition held an evening Session, and

`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."

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

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.

THE Tar avy.—The Washington Union, of Satur

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.
