Statesmen. We assert our belief, in all candor and
honesty, that, so fares it would-prove the estimation
in which either - of, her diatinguished citizens, who
hive:been named in connection with the Presidency,
gre emacerued, the nomination of either of them
would retlect•honor upon•onr State. There is no
ground upon, which to question the position of
either, in relation to all the great points at issue , be
tween the Federal and Democratic parties; each of
them - is sound, devoted and unwavering; the true
friend of those reforms in our general and State le
gislation, which are deemed necessary, in order to
secure to the masses their just and equal rights; it

vantages of position .that hare been enjoyed hy Clay

and Case in our own ; but, in his position as Geyer
tigr,Of the, second . State, of the Union in political
importance, and scarcely second to any in devotion
to Democratic principles, he has manifested that
atotml judgment, that true courage, and undeviating
Mllierence to the principlige of his party, which
Come:tea him to all true Democrata,and give shun
dant" assurance that no resporiaibiiity, which the
People 'nay impose upOn Jtim, will be either shun
.ea --or -lightly regarried. His 'ability to discharge
anyduty.,which the People may require •of him, is
beet prtrren; by the sat.sfaction which lie has thus
far given them.
• "Political ignorice seems now to be the only re
quisite for is President," Mirakile dictu! And
this from an Editor whose party dare not go before
the - People, either with any claims to political char
, eater or principles; but who are bound to discard
.. the man, foremost of all others in their ranks as the
expounder of the doctrines which they once dared
to contend fur! This to be ouered by an editor,
who is bold to sustain the pretentions of a candi
date, who frankly and honestly avows that he has
never thought enough about the leading subjects at
nunteduring the last twenty years, to be able to form
auk opinion in relation to them! But such reckless
assertions are not to be wondered at, coming from
the leaders of the Federal party. They have arro
gamily asserted a claim to wall the talents, all the
decency," and. of course, as they possess (1) all in
their own ranks, nothing but.' "political ignorance"
can be found in the ranks of those opposed to them.
-.Matthew Carey once said, of the Fedral party, that
taliey,never learn anything, and they never forget
inythiog." Experience teaches them nothing of
wisdom ; and; learning certain phrases by rote, of
contempt or derision of their opponents ; they never
forget them : but ring them out on every occasion,
in all the changes of language which can be made.
Could thdy learn anything , from experience, they
would find that their opponents had alvra3s gained
more, by frank and magnanimous opposition to the
wild schemes of their party, and steady, persevering
adherence to their own asserted doctrines, than
they have ever beenable to accomplish, by reroofing
to such contemptuous and ungenerous assertions as
they are constantly using. That noble and glorious
man, ANDREW JACKSON, has been spoken of by many
• ofthed, even in his grave, as too ignorantand tower-'
thy, to claim a single sentiment Of respect; and the
memory of the profound philosopher and sage of
Irlontecillo, whose ashes consecrate that scene of
his usefulness and his glory, is often desecrated in a
similar manner by the Federal Jesuits who are wit
' ling to profess any 'principles or none, to support
, any man and discard any other, if they may but oh
lain the reins 9f power. When if is recollected that
such men as JEFFERSON and Jacmioshave been aix
cused by the Federalists of " political ignorance,"
and when such a statement has been made respect•
tag almost every Democrat, who has been honored
by the Pdople in a distinguished manlier, iris surely
to be viewed rather as a compliment than otherwise
. that JAMES K. f'otrand htigeateed faithful FRANCIS
R. &unix, are spoken Or inily7 i similar manner.

"high private," with a musket on his shoulder and .
a ifilitie full of writing paper and quills. After the
beautiful city of the' Aitecs yielded to the arms of

the slightest wrong upon that misgoverned people.

PITTSBURGH APO A LI,EOHEN4 SCRIP.— AR consider
able of this paper is in circulation, it may be well to
advise all, that at Wheeling the business men have
reatilved not , to take it at par after the 15th of March
inst., nor pay it out. The citizens of Steubenville
should adopt a like measure—what is the use of a
currency; unless it answers every requisite of a cir
culating medium T It is well known that the Pius
burgh Scrip, even here, will only pay certain debts;
while tor ethers it is totally refused.
bra" We copy the above froni the Stenben'sille
Herald, i'sra recent date. If the course adopted at
Wheeling-and .recommended at Steubenville should
be generally pursued in the neighboring towns and
boroughs, the circulation of' the scrip of Pittsburgh
and Allegheny cities would be confined to the places
where leaned. It is to be lamented that the nacos
sity should ever arisefor the issue of such evidences
of debt. the_ disposition to go in debt prevails too
much, in this country. Corpotalinns as well as in. !
diisidwitti become affected with the mania, and con.:
tract debts without considering when or where the
means may be raised to liquidate them. Of course
we'dn,not deaire to impair Atecreilit or this or our
sister city, over the river. But we think there
should be a time fur extravagant expenditures of
money to cease: - No debt should be contracted be

one year, from the nssessm•nt of taxes, unless by
the consent of the people, clearly expressed.

• • For Ow tiforniet;
Ma. EDITOR great civic preparations have
been made to receive Mr. Clay, I think it would be,
proper to invite the Military to jo'n, and make Mr
Clay's reception a grand military as well as civic
d rnionetration.
There are many brave men who served their
country in Mexico, now in and about the eti . y, some
with one leg, some with one arm, and some wi biota
legs or arms, who would like to join in doing honor
to the man, who proclaimed from Lexington, Ky.,
that the war they were engaged in fighting was un
holy, unjust, and unconstitutional-- a war of rapine
and murder, if a nook or corner in the procession
could be reserved for them.
I throw out this suggestion for the consideration
of Democratic members of the committee of nr
rangemente, inasmuch as the Whig members could
not, consistently with their duty to Mr, Clay, take
part in carrying into effect the military part of the
reception, they being peaceable people in time of
war. VOLUNTEER.
Ma. Burton: The article in the Daffy Chronteile
of this day, which says, when adverting to the pro
ceedings of the St. Patrick's celebration at Mrs.
Dougherty's, 4. The responsible Sect'y left instruc
tions at the office-of the Post, to send as a copy.
Why they did not do so,
is only known toAhem
selves." This is not the fact. The Sect'y and my
self agreed to have both papers publish the pro
ceedings. We called withion first, and as he said
he could not attend, I promised to take the proof
copy to the Chronicle. We met together again, at
your office, Into on Saturday afternoon. I supposed
that he took the article himself, as I put the proof of
what was then set np, into his hands, and the whole
: matter was not set, when -I sent for it, yesterday

MODE or MARRIED WOMEN. An. act securing
to married women their seperate estate Vs passed
both houses of the Alabama Legislature, and was
approved by the Governor on the Ist instant. It
provides that the wife's estate shall be held by the
husband as intrust. Ifthe wife's estate be equal to
her right of dower, on her husband's death, she has
no claim whatever to his property, and otherwise
only to the difference between her estate and the
dower. At the denth of his wife the husband comes
into absolute possession of her personal property,
and for a life interest of her estate. Tho husband
and wife and jointly made liable for articles supplied
fur family use.
We heard General Quitman declare a few
days ago, says the Pennsylvanian, that when the
news of the re-election of Governor Shunk was re
ceived in Mexico, it created a sensation of uncon
trollable delight among the soldiers of the army.
All, withont respect to position or to party, greeted
it as a welcome encouragement from sacred home,
and the spirits of the troops arose in proportion.—
This is a sentiment that all concur -in, who have
yet spoken oo the subject., The voices of -Naylor
and of Wynkoop—lifeurtis and Lupo—efDOniPhan

Such aiming employers as entertain air inirettrate

certainly, be speedily convinced by any general
agencies, with which they never come in contact.—
But a personal interview with those possessing a

cell in Columbus a few months ago, and had not
bee* heard of until the visit of the officer IV...the

We judge from this that his stories about his New

Singular Case.
We find the ,follnw.ng in a late London paper i A
few days ago, - a man in Constantinople, was l 'ought
before the Smokier Paella, chaiged by a Turkish
lady with haVing robbed her of a quantity of jewels;
and he, without going into particulars, insisted that.
she had herself voluntarily . given them to him, upon
the strength of his silence as to thu iv previous ac
quaintance. This she denied, and it was not'vrith
out a world of trouble that .the following facts werb
elicited : The lady had been to the Churakee,
having bought a. paw of slippers, the kavaf r or slipv
per -merchant, refused .to receive. the money • for'
them from so,beauttful a woman, wining her that
everything in his shop was at her disposal, and
himself, her slave. In fine; •fid Was Itahtliteme; and
said so many tender . things in so irresistible a man
ner, that the lady consented to.pay hiin a visit at his
own hours, into ',Nell she glided with much acerbery
—the k.avaftirnitttlier being absent in the' 'country.
They were so charmed with each
. ittlier , s' society,
that she eonsented to proliing her visit till toward
evening, and he went out to procure eatables at a;
grocery, and shut -the doer , atter him and put the
key in his pocket: . ' •
While he wits making his phrchase,'he was appli
ed to f.r the payment of a debtorrested and drag
ged off to prison, where he had been lying for soma
hoursi cursing the cruelty of fortune, when *neer
his craft passing, 'mitred the prison to see which of ,
the eshaff bras indunance. They were well acquaint
ed, and the prisoner, • placing the key of his house
in the hands of his friend, requested him to go and
liberate a female whom he would find there. The
visitor promi . Sed to be discreet, opened the door,-
when who should he discover but his own wife!—
She professed this was her first offence, desired him
to divorce her, and on condition that he kept the al=
fair secret, offered to give him up her jewels. The
bargain was closed accordingly, the act of divorce
was gone through, and the man walked off with the
jewels. She, however, more attached to her jeweli
than to her reputation, followed him and had him
taken up on the charge. Finally, the truth was
brought, and the Seraskier gave his decision ,thus '
" The Es-huaband, having confessed the truth,
has broken his condition as to silence, and conse
quently was not entitled to the jewels, which were
made over to the lady to cover the stain on her rep
utationp. The Sultan liiniself inquired into the
case, and was much amused at the relation of it by
the Seraskier, who, When he likes, is the best-bur
