The scenery of the Ohio and Mississippi is undoubtedly .\ grand, and cold indeed must be the heart of the tourist, or other traveler, who can gaze on its ',cau tion, without bearing witness; to its effect on the im agination. Coasting along wooded heights, and ver dant bluffs, low prune grounds and swampy cane brakes, the eye falls with rapture on The plantations so rich, so rare, and the perfume of Orange grovea, and the appearance of the Peach orchards in full blossom is indeed exhilerating. Here on this day (the 20th Febly) the heat is as excessive as I felt it during any part of the last summer in Pittsburgh. Now sweet it must be to reside in such a lovely counsry; to enjoy the brightness of that transparent sky, and rupturing gaze upon the azure vault ofheav ens The wild woods, and the tall trees, from whose branches hang the long plume:sof Spanish Most, in which.the Red, and the B:ue birds, Snd the speech less paroquette, delight to revel : Oh, indeed it is charming. Here we are, however, in the Southern metropo , lis—New Orleans—inhaling its pestilential atmos phere, the very smell of. which sickens the heart. This appears to he the em p 0 rium ,not un I y of sugar and molasses, but of the fruits, and productions of the tropics; of Cocoa Nuts, Bananas and Pine Apples; of Conk Shells and Canary Birch, Parrots and Span iah Lap-dogs; and of Rats! And yet Dr. Colton could not find a 'grille long , tail fur his lecture last night. To the terror of the city fintbera, and swan gel's visiting this city, the ship fever is raging irre sistibly, so much so, that medical - skill is unnvaila ble. From this cause, it is esp-cted that the citi zini Will take their departure, sooner than ulna], this season. The play-going community have Dan Rice, Madame Bishop, Professor Ripley, and Forrest, the Tragedian, Who are nightly winning golden favors from the gulls; and General Tom rhumb arrives to-day from Havana, holds a levee this evening and to-morrow, and on the next day leaves fur Quakerdelphia. The British ship Forrest Monarch, the largest vessel That ever entered the port of New Orleans, arrived here on Wednesday last. The Lutrisiana F.ditorial clique appear to be very much tickled at the following couplet, which they have taken from an English paper : "The timelhall eotne when wives shall cease to scold, And Pennsylvania bonds be paid in gold." And again they laughed at the bare idea of either of these desirable circumstances taking place. My Cosscirscx ; . • Our friend Power in niktaken. if he menu.. onto nay .'.

We had Jell the .Iton City un dui:o44hr fall of snow, which ceised. not until ww had- almost reached Cincinnati, when it very graeitinsly left off; but the frost remained, and the air was eseteding chilly.

We would have left the Queen City with a quiet conscience, had not been for an apparition in Ale :shape of a lour horse omnibus, which intro deditself on our commisieraticin and attention.-- of Jeliu 'and of Taglioni why did ye cast your maledictions, and with such a vengeance, en Cincinnati! Laugh at our astonishment you may, kind end isidulgent reader ; 'Mat it was no laughing speculation for us. So forcibly irresistible was the oceiriencis, that it actually carried (our thought.%) back;to the world's metropolis,' and to Astlera AM pliitheatre, to a scene in which Mr. William Betty droire around the area, in a carriage drawn by four Toil Cats! On the .opposite bank of the s Obio from her, of Porditioteriety, there stands a. building, which inay be Ave./torch, Mr aught that we know to the contrary, adduct the top of this., budding, there iP something plated like the statue of a man. As a sort of feel er; wia,threw our a suggestion to a Kentuckian, that the object alluded to was a statute of Clay in the speaking: He did not gulp the dose, how. ever; but rcplied, if it were' intended for the great statesman, it should be represented shuffling a pack of cards! A general conversation took place on the sohject of Clay fur the Presidency; which ended by a ottani - mcwil opinion given, that his friends would no longer hazard their votes. Yet one old fellow seemed de termined-to hold out to the last for "Marry." "Hen rielay," said he; " is a man every inch of him, dame Nature made him with her sleeves rolled up." "Yon bad better put a little salt on that joke," was the teplication. "Why so t" said he. "Because Warm stale that it wont keep much longer • besides in this country one man's as good as anot her,and a dod darned sight better !" A peal of earty laughter followed this jest, after which a gentleman asked ma " ifit were a fact that a public banquet war intended to be given by the Whigs of Pittsburgh to Mr. Clay t" "We replied that we had heard of such a thing." "Then," acid he, "the Merchants, Manufacturers, &c. should be reminded—and they might not take the hint amiss—to invite him same season of the year when the navigation is open, as it is , a well known fact at Ashland,' that "three months of the year the Ohio river at Pittsburgh is frozen over, and three months it it almost dried up, during which lime the navigation is closed, and Can so/minty Pittsburgh never can be the Key to the western stales, and to the Mississippi valley." • At Baton Rouge, some twenty .of us, headed by a right Worthy gentleman, Capt. Johnson, (brother to Hz-Vice President Johnson,) drew up in regular or der at the residence of General Taylor, who was at home, and received us with the greatest affability, am/kindness. Mrs. Taylor bad been unwell for a conaiderable period, and the General was just recov ering from indisposition, which had confined him to his ruom'fur sonic time'. As we respectfully stood around that old man, the distinguished Hero of -Buena Vista, and those other brilliant victories, which have wafted his fame to every nation of the earth, with what enthustastic feelings of venerat'on, 'and esteem, did we contemplate his every look, and hii ereiy. expression "unuttered or expressed." By ron boasts of having possessed "pride which not a world could bow," but with what pleasure do we smile at such an assertion, and poistng . the balan c e, find that pride, and scoffs, and vanity are light and airy, when weighed against the greater merits of a worth g , valor, firmness, patriotism, and moral cow. e." .From the Arsenal we proc'eded to the Penitenti ary, the gentlemanly superintendant of which took us through every part of it.

March 15. 1848 L. HARPER. Our Campaign Paper. From present indications, there is no doubt but that we shall obtain an immense circulation for our proposed Campaign Paper,' The Pierson/ea.-- The Democracy, generally, decidedly approve of the project, and many of the most influential members of the party, have promised to use their best endeavors to give the paper a wide and ex tensive circulation. The terms of the paper are so cheap that it will be brought within the means of every Democratic voter in the West. The paper will be spicy enough to please the taste of all kinds of readers—in fact, it will be all-spiee The Mex icans and their allies and friends in this country, will receive as much cannister and grape as they can possibly desire ! Be. Hampton's Buncombe Speech. On Tuesday last, the 9th inst., the lion. Mosta Itstrrost, our Representative in Congress, spent an hour, in making a Buncombe speech, in the House of Representatives, for the purpose of setting him self rerftor in curia, before his constituents Our readers will remember, that soon after the beginning of the session of Congress, Mr. Hsinrion voted with the Democrats, against the ASIINEN resolution, de. declaring that the "war was unnecessarily and un constitutionally commenced by the President ;" and they will also remember, that Mr. Hourron, about the same time, brought in a prnpnsition to annex Mexico to the United States. Both of these acts, tendered Mr. H. so odious and unpopular w th his Federal supporters at home, that they took occasion to denounce him, sans stint, in their public meet ings and in their private circles. It was generally believed, that If ADITtOtt had actually turned loco loco ; and - his beautiful and interesting brother-in law, Aleck Miller, was not far from being crazy, on account of the thousand-and-one questions asked him by the reds, concerning the supposed Somerset of Moses. To sst matters right, Hampton wrote to Miller, communicating the highly important intel ligence, that he bad not turned loco fro)! and at tributed all the fuss that was kicked up at home, to one or two persons who were desirous of being at Washington in his stead ! He announced, at the same time, that he would take occasion, the first op portunity that would be presented, to " define his position " rya all the great questions of the day,— , the Mexican War—the Tariff — lnternal Improve ments,—aqd blow up this wicked Administration, generally, and reinstate himself in the gond graces and confidence of the " Whigs" of Allegheny county. Well, his speech has been made—and thus far his promise has been redeemed ! But does he say anything-aliout the war I Not a word. lie does not explain his scheme to annex Mexico, or his vote on tho Ashmun proposition. Perhaps, he will excuse himself, by' saying, that these matters would have been nut of order, in discussing the River and timber Bill; but not a bit more so, than the Tariff or 15 , 12, which Mr. H. exhumed from the dead, for the purpose of galvanizing, and eulogizing its defunct carcass. Mr. Hatnpton has redo med his promis.i, however, to . make a speech; and he can now '• breathe freer and deerer." But so far as we can learn, this Hanel:male effort, is considered' by tho " Whigs " of this city, as a "most forcible feeble" affiir ; and it will entirely fail to secure a re-nomination for its author-2 thing his heart is panting after, most fervently. With all his cunning and scheming, Mr. Hampton will not be re-nomina• ted. His Taylorism, will effectually floor him in Allegheny county. A demonstration has already been made in behalf of oilier " Whigs;" but there is no person willing to say one word in behalf of Mr. Hampton—net even Meek Miller! 'THOMAS WILLIAIif and Ilmmit DENNY have already been brought forward by the Whigs. The former is un derstood tube the favorite candidate of the " young Whigs," or, more properly speaking, the " Clay Whigs,"—while the latter is believed en be.the can didate of the Antitnasona and Scott men. nt.. Wtz- LIMNS is a into of intellect, and is popular with ki s party; and in these respects, be has the advantage over his rival. A. W. Looms, Esq., is unque•tion• a bl y t h e beat man the Whigs could nunnuate. II he desaes it, he can receive the A lll 2lll l / 1 1.1,14 notiGn of bin party at any timed ive have under stood, that he will not consent that his name shall he used in connection with that or any ml. r o ffi ce of trust or profit.. This being the case, there is uo doubt, but that Mr. W/LLIANA will be the successful candidate for nomination. Our very Particularfriend, Mr. HAuevon,will therefore, have permission grant- ed to him to stay at honie and practice at his profes sion—and mourn over the ingratitude of I:tapelike. lir We understandthat Mrs. Pierce Sutler, for merly Miss Fanny Ramble, has been engaged by Mr. Simpson, ofthe Park Theatre. • ~~6., G e n. sanassi k ,g‘adau"*.-qi , f,l ? - The Federal pi tiMbuglieet etfmr„til4- most without an eireksrtina, l an 4 gtt n mremetto - s,all'aranner of scandarnekloporta, AOC% kect the aigrette - Of thle brave and'ilanint oiric"; and, even when theta' has.. aPitesbed easUadic e'en' of the unmanly charges, they have not been '.ery ready to admit then denials, .or to make those disclaimers which are to be mipieted from Magner& mous opporients. The New Orleans Picayune was foremost in eirculntiag Morin impeaching the bra very and honor of this - Valiant soldier; and among the fabrication, chick iteirmilated was one, that its correspondent and associate -Editor, (Kzenau.,) had seen the original letter signed 4 4 Leonidas," about which to murh has been %%Tama and said ; and that he saw in that letter alterations and interlineations made in the handwriting of Gen. Pillow himself. This letter, our readers wilt remember, spoke in the highest terms of Gen. P. as an officer, a man, and a soldier ; and was the cause of his arrest on suspicion by Gen:Siorr.. n'. Gen. PILLOW has certain= ly manifested less of concern about these MM . :nous statements, than any one would have done; who could have adopted such a course as he has been charged with. He has written, (so far as we hate seen,, but two letters 4,,.which he alludes to these slanders; and both of these were to intimate per sonal friends, to whose lodgment he left the dis• posal of the whole matter. In the last of these, written to a friend in New Orleans, he most positive ly disclaims having ever seen, or haring-had any knowledge of the 44 Leonidas , ' letter, until it had appeared in print, and encloses a letter of Maj. Burns, in which this gentleman says that be is the author of that letter,-and that Gen. Pillow had no knowledge whaterer of itscontenbr until any one, else Mght have read it, from its appearance in the newspapers. No ends thii vile charge against Gen. P. We wonder bow many of the Federal editors will feel themselves at liberty to, publish the denial, and thus do all they can to secure justice to the mme of a gallant officer t Responses of the Demeeratle Press. Had we spa. e to spare for that purpose, we would certainly publish the responses of the Democratic Press of Pennsylvania, to the nominations made at the late Coivention at Harrisburgh. It is pleasing aid soul.cheering to witness the entire unanimity of the sound and radical Democratic papers, that have an open and as. fidthfully battled in the cause of equal .i;ht■ in good old Pennsylvania. The nominatii.n of JAMES CUCIIANAN is every where received with the best spirit imaginable, which mustcertainly have its influence upon the minds of the Delegates to the Baltimore Convention. When the Democracy of Pennsylvania pull all together they cannot be defeat ed. It is only rhea we arc divided that defeat overcomes us, and it as right that it should be so. The principles of our party are founded upon eter eat truth aid justice, and when these are taien our guide, we must and shall triumph. Cieric•7 Dress Under this head a writer in the Journal of Com merce gives vent to a considerable amount of in dignation, because of the violent manner in which his refined nerves were assailed from the pulpit of one of the churches in that city. The nature of the often a consisted in the pastor of the church having introduced into his pulpit an humble min later of the Gospel, " from the Western country," who wore " a capacious Mark men round his neck," and who wiped his nose with " a huge bandana handerehirf," which, nhenever lie had done using it, he put " under the good book." He says " the operation went on to the close of the sermon, and a most annoying one it nas;•r and then he gives the females of this gentleman's eengrivation a lecture, for not having provided tl.c.r pastor with " a goodly sup; ly of cambric handkerchiefs;" closing with a pretty strong int— motion that it is not decent for a minister of the gospel to appear otherwise than in "ss full suit of black," "a white cravat," and " a cambric handkerchief." It may not be known to thin es ceedingly refined critic upon appearances, that the people of " the Western country," as a mass, look much more to the moral character .of their le:low , men, whether clergy or laity, than they do to tl.e eolor or quality of the cloth they near, or the peculiar cut of their coat,. Such refinement may do for a city which contains more misery, and wretchedness, and vice, and want, than any other in our country, but the plain, honest, industrious, and independent population of the West do no regard them. They sustain their ministry al wel as they ar• able; and the refined New York gentle man might hear (even if he is not capable of ap preciating) eloqueuce fiom our Western clerg men a character unrorpused by any others. =MICE! Foe the 31ornirsz Mu. Hearts :—Please give the following a place in your useful and widely circulated paper. Respectfully. your 064 serr't I was present at Cumberland, Md., on the 9th inst., when the following conversation took place: Mr, Win. McKnight, of this city, asked Mr. Da rid Lynch, why the friends of Mr. Buchanan allow ed the Cass men to out-general them in the Conven. lion. Mr. Lynch replied, that he knew of no un derhanded game of the kind having taken plate in the convention; and, moreover, that every delegate, both of tke Slate and National Convention, was bound, in honor, to use every/air and upright means to secure the nomination of Mr. DUCTIANAN by the National Convention; and that any departure from that, would be a direct violation of plighted faith, voluntarily given. Mr. filchnight then stated that John L. Dawson, Esq., one of your delegates ttr the State Convention, told him, in Baltimore, that the friends of Gen. Casa had elected 10 of the delegates to :he National Convention ; and that it was per fectly understood that Gen. Cass was the second choice of Pennsylvania. Mr. Lynch replied that Mr. Dawson must have intended to - say that Gen. Cass had received only 10 votes out of tl.e 133 that complied the State Convention; and that he must have been entirely mistaken, as the convention felt too confident of the success of our candidate to think of, much less provide directly or indirectly fur, a second choice. Mr. Lynch then left us, but returned in a few minutes and asked Jlfr, McKnight if he was at liberty to repeat the sonversation that had taken place between him and Mr. Dawson; when Mr.Mclinight replied, by all means, for that Dawson made no secret of the matter, and that he could nut be mistaken in regard to what Mr. Dawson had said on the subject. Now, if the above course of Mr. Dawson is in ac cordance will, the following instructions, for which 'he himself voted, he is excusable; but if this course is a direct violation of the letter.
