M r. Clay's Miuioai We pre-unic that. even thetnoat bitter opponents of the Demoefatic party, will ° nut now assert 4teir belief', that :%Ir. Cl.ty's ohjea irfvisiting the East, Wary ant a political one. They urged this as a reason Vi by citizens of all parties should unite in paying to loin that respect, to which they contended he was cittiti d, as a distingvishisil citizen. Some of our political friends, in every city that he visited, de alined to lionitir hint thus publicly on the ground of their belief that he was a candidate for the Presideit ny. We remembered that, in 1842, when MARTIN VAN Danes, (who bad tilled the Office of President at the call of a large majority of his countrymen, 'Or the first time visited the West, those who had been his oppoitents in 1840, uniformly refused to join , in any public demonstration of respect—urging as theft) only ° reason, that he was making this west ern tonr solefy with a view to the election of 1844: all the disclaimers of his friends were of no avail, to induce them to pursue a different. course. Indeed such has been their almost unifurm course, towards every distinguished man of the Democrat ic party. We vt ere well aware of all the bitterness Land jealousy that had been displayed by the Feder al party, in relation to our distinguished statesmen; and therefore we could excuse such of our friends as did n o t join in any pablic testimonials of regard for Mr. Clay. Our recMmentlation, however, Vnt F., 7 that we could do our Ives no harm, by showing a degree of magoanititit i y beyond that which bad even characterized our oWonents; and we favored a gen eral demonstration Of honor to their distinguished leader, on account of the positions which he had occupied under ale government, even while we foully believed that ho was passing through the] country on a political mission. Wi.le well knew that Democrats, while they could honor Henry Clay, for the zeal with which be had once sustained his coun try; fur his genius and talents; mid fur his steady and honorable suppcirt of the principles of his party, could also remember, when they came to the polls, that their contention was fur principles, not merely men, and that though they might show respect fur the man they would bold in ut er abhorrence the political .principles which he contended for. We were therefore pleased to see so large a number of our pOlitical friends among the number of those who joined in the demonstration of respect to Mr. Clay; and are now more especially pleased, since he tells us that his mission has been, indeed a political state Lunatic Asylank It hairlong been a subject of complaint, indeeJ of reproach, that POnsylvania is behind many of her sister states, in the establishment of institutions fur benevolent purposes. While the states of Ohio and New York have expended large sums of money in the erection of Lunatic Asylum, the old Keystone has itherto been without such an institution. We are happy to have it in our power to state,that a bill pass ed the Log stature before its adjournment,providing for the erection of a State Lunatic Asylum at Harris burgh. We learn from the Union that the bill ap propriates $50,000 . 4 the State to this most praise worthy object, and authorizes the Commissioners to receive and apply to its construction and mainte nance any donation which may be made to the Insti tution. Private individuals may contribute as much as they see proper. The site of this institution is to be on a beautiful mound, within one mile of the Capitol. It overlooks the town, and will afford such a view to the unfortunate inmate as will be of great importance in the treatment of insane patients. The building when completed, will contain room for 250 patients, with the necessary attendants,— We earnestly trust that the Comminioners who hay° charge of the matter, will use every ef fort in their power to have the building erected at as early a day as possible. A letter from the Rev. Mr. O'Mally in the Dublin Nateon, says: "That he .wishes to give the Irish working classes an object in the present movement, such as the Commission of workmen appointed by the Provisional Government of France. The pre sent Revolution in Franco is in fact an insurrection of labor against monopoly—a workingman's Revol ution. The French artisans have revolted against Pauperism, banishment and death, and taking the symbol for the reality, have struck down the house which capped the social rottenness wherein they were stifled. We in Ireland continues the reverend gentleman, mutt learn to knato and respect the rights of Labor, and consider their settlement the basis of all Irish prosperity." While on this subject adds the Nation, we may mention that Lord Wsttscourr, an associationist, who has given it much study, and who is, at present, in Paris, observing the exertions of Louts IltAnc and his commission, has promisi d to communicate his.views to the readers of the Na tion. A glorious Revolution, leaving poverty and idleness behind it, mould be aet uel mockery. Coss must Not END SO." Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad. We are ri joined to learn that the necessary a. mount of money has been subscribed to secure the permanent organization of the above named com pany. We have spoken so often of the importance of this Railroad, that we scarcely consider it neces sary again to allude to the subject. Our citizens generally, appreciate the importance of the work, and earnestly desire to have it put under contract as speedily as possible. The energy and determination evinced by the Central Railroad Company in pushing forward that mighty link between the Atlantic and Valley of the Mississippi, will render it necessary for the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad to use simi lar efforts in the management of their company.— These two works, although distinct in name and or ganization, are inseparably connected in interest to our citizens. The completion of these important works will make Pittsburgh the great central depot between the East and the West, and will add at least an hundred per cent. to its business. Singular Fulfilment of a Prophecy. In Raphael , " Prophetic Messenger, for 1848, print ed in London, in October last, a prediction is made, that a revolution would take place in February, in one of the continential countries, resulting in the oserthrbw of a royal family. At the same time the title.pahe has an engraving, representing an attack on the Tuilleries. The prediction is in these words: "Jupiter halts in his celestial career through Cancer, as if to ponder upon impending woes. 'These high ly fraught configurations are tokens of the vacatioe of a throne; and, it may be, the annihilation of Sov ereign povier in a family." Some interesting fore. shadowing' of the events which have recently oc curred, also appear in the remarks of Raphael on the scheme olthe natiVity . of Louie Philippe, which may be found in the same work.

Mr. Knight is now in the employ of the above Railroad Company, exploring a route westward from heeling, and doubtless his letteris the forerunner ola favorable report, setting forth the adiantages of a Wheeling terminus, fur the great Western Rail toatt Notwithstanding his own report to the contrary, in fa+ or of the Youghiogheny route, on a former oc casion, he pronounces the Wheeling route the most direct luie of intercrimmunication between the Mis sissippi valley aild the Atlantic seaboard. However, his position is understood, without comment from me ; ho must do his work as required by his em ployers, or ever ; but it will be some time before he can convince the intelligent people of Ohio, to pnint their Railroad toward Wheeling, where they would hsve to encounter the high grounds and the short curves of the Bal:imore and Ohio Railroad from Wheeling to Cumberland, with its numerous bridges and tunnels, i. e. if we are to believe its distinguish ed President, it wilt be a road of bridges dnd tunnels, between those two points above specified. The action of the last Ohio legislature, in granting a favorable charter to the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and the speedy and energetic action of the people to carry out the provisions of that Charter, foreshadows the feelings of the people of North-western Ohio, in favor of a Pittsburgh ter minus, for this great and important road. They seem to understand the difficulties of the Wheeling route, they are aware that a viaduct can never be built aeris' the Ohio to connect their Railroad with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at a level with any of the tributaries of the Onto, on the Virginia side. All that is wanted now to secure a speedy com pletion of a western road here, is the united energies ' and capital of Allegheny and Westmoreland couiM . ties. Ohio has come up to the work promptly ; let western Pennsylvania encourage her by the speedy completion of a Railroad from here to Blairavilte, and all will be right. The Central Railroad Com pany will have the eastern division of their road finished to Hollidaysburgh in two years, and they ensure one Million of dollars to be expended imme. diately on the western division of their road, provid ed a like amount is raised in western Pennsylvania. The Central Railroad finished to those points would strip the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad of a large portion of its passengers and business, and Iconsequently lessen the ability of the company to progress with their road to Wheeling, which they have determined to do with the profits of the road, exclusively. . The late supplement passed by the legislature of this State, gives the County and all other Corpora tions within the County, power to subscribe Stock to the Central Railroad Company. The expenditure of two Millions of dollars will be a strong induce ment fur speedy action. Farmers, Mechanics, Mer chants, Laborers and all other classes will be bone fitted by its expenditure in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Tear. EAST BETHLEHEM, Wash. Co. Pa March 21, 1848. To S Brady, Erg: • From the first investigation of the subject, my opmion has been unwavering and uniform that the city of Wheeling.is the proper point •on the Ohio River at which to terminate the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; and equally so, that thg great 'Metropoli tan Railroad from the West should be made to con nect with that Road, at the same city. 1 was gratified, therefore, to receive from a reli able source in Baltimore, a communication under date of the 13th inst„ of which the following are extracts. "You aro doubtless aware that very strenuous efforts were made during the recent session of the Legislature at Annapolis, to procure a charter for a Railroad Company from Cumberland to the Pennsyl vania line, with a view of conneming with the Pitts burgh and'Connellsville Railroad. The bill passed the Senate without much interests or inquiry; but as the session progressed, it became very obvious that the design was to form the connection by the North ern route; and that, if it were not so intended, the effect would be not only to embarrass the prosecution of our Road through Virginia, but to distract the policy ofthe Companies engaged in the Western con nection, and if possible to induce them to take their Roads to Pittsburgh , by holding out a choice from that petit to Baltimore as well us to Philadel phia. There objects were not dimly forerbadowed in a letter from Common°, published in the American newspaper of this city a few days before the adjourn ment of the Legislature. The previous investigations at an earlier period of the cession hadioroduced a very decided preference to that body in favor of our road to Wheeling; and a very general acquiescence in the policy_ adopted by I the Board of Directors; and therefor( , when the real design or tendency, of the proposed Railroad from Cumberland, became developed, it excited proper attention; and it was ultimately defeated by a deci ded vote, in the house of Delegates. I deem it important to make you acquainted with these facrs, in order that, through our correspon dents at Wheeling or elsewhere, you would take early measures to let it be known that the scheme has signally failed; and that the Wheeling route, and the policy of making it, has received the favor ofthe state and city, and of this community; apd that the road will not be prosecuted under the coritat auspices ofall these groatinterests through Maryland and Virginia to the Wheeling terminus; that the pres ent directors on the part of the state have been con tinued entire, and that the court of Appeals have fully affirmed our right to apply our annual earnings to the extension of the road. While I lament the policy and short-sightedness 1 which has driven this great work out of the state of my nativity, yet from my views of patriotic duty to the whole country, I am bound to rejoice in the now certain prospect of a vigorous prosecution of the work upon the only line which the Legislation of the Sovereign States has opened to it, and which, doubtless, will subserve tho great ends of the enter prise, while it will form the most dircet line of inter communication between the chief cities of the Atlan tic maboard and those of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys; and even of the coast of the Pacific. The authorities and people of Wheeling, and of other jurisdictions concerned, can therefore with confidence and due energy, exert their influence in the establishment of the Roilroad west, without unnecessary delay; and I deem it incumbent upon the Railroad companies interested in the western extension to locate and commence the construction in the direction to Wheeling, with the least possible delay. Respectfully. J. KNIGHT. A Governor Worth Having. Gov. bhunk has vetoed a bill extending the char ters of the Farmers , & Mechanics' Bank of Phila. delphia,—the Columbia Dank and Bridge Company, of Columbia, the Farmers , and Drovers Bank of Waynesburg; and the Chambersbutg Dank, of Charubersburg. Such a Governor is worth a mint of gold to the people of any State. Charters are mere cobwebs when it pleases the managers of corporations to break their tiny threads. A few more •bursts and the people will learn wisdom, though they learn it at a dear school. NS So says the honest and fearless Editor, SAMUEL MEDART, of the Ohio Statesman. The veto messages of Governor Snorru have endeared him to the sound Democracy, not only of this State, but every part of the Union. We have had the veto message alluded to above on file for publication, for several days past, but it has been crowded out by- a press of other matter. We shall endeavor to give it a place in our paper to-morrow. FAIT. OF Kraos.—The history of the latter King of France shows a remarkable succession of misfor Louis XVI guillotined; Louis XVII died of want; Louis XVII twice exiled; Nepuleon exiled; his son died in a foreign land; Charles X dethroned; Henry V prciscribed; Louis Phillipe put to flight; the Count of Paris rejected. • /Mr The surveys for tho extension of the Balti more and Susquehanna railroad from York to Har risburg, will commence this week. • Nr.rot.r.on's ettEntorturr.—"ln fifty- year!!

HARPER has been said and written on the subjelit of the late tires. The 'fears- of the community have been awakened, and many plans proposed to guard our city lions like occurrences. Now, permit me to suggest an additional one ; not that I think it would be eutirely effectual ; but !do know, that if it be foloweil nut, there will be fewerfires in the cay of Pittsburgh, for the time to come. My plan is this: That Councils shall place n pen alty on all City officers for neglect of enforcing the laws relative to wooden buddings, statdes,bakehouses, stove pipes, ekc. The law is (in my estimation,) suf. &dent liar the purpose. The Legislature have given them power to enact them. The Supreme Court have declared them time and again to be const.tu tional. Why, then, can they not be enforced I The law makes it the duty of the Street Commissioner, tligh Constable, and the Ward Constables, to hunt up and return to the Mayor; all violations. It makes it C.e Mayor's. duty, to have the offenders bound over to Court, to answer. It also makes it the duty of the City Solicitor, to attend to such suits. Now, let Councils compel those officers, by fine, to do their duty ; and at least five hundred buildings would comedown—most of them placed in narrow alleys. Al eady on the ruins of the. fire the other night, at the corner of O'Hara street and 'Mulberry alley, there is being erected in violation of the above Law. The Law for that part or the City below Grant at. and the Canal, went into effect en the 28th day of August. 1826. Is there not hundreds of violations helow Grant street, ail of which should be removed. The fine on the owner for erecting any wooden mansion house, store, shop, warehouse, carriage house or stable, in $5OO, and the, fine for any Car penter or other person employed in erecting them,, is $lOO. Let Councils enforce the Law, and you abate the nuisance, and, in proiortion lessen the ability to fire. Yours, pIFTIEI 'WARD. Wisnort or Jorrivita.r..—A London correspondent of the New York Courier, alluding to the Prince de Joinville, says:— "Joievil le, before leaving Paris the last time, call ed upon M. Guizot, and literally "ibused him' for the policy which ho was pursuing to ivganl to the de mand for 'Reform' and the Fteform Banquets. In ad dition to this, Joinville wrote a letter to the Queen, alter his departure, (which has been received by the Provisional Government, instead of the party ad. dressed,) in which he said that if Guizot had been allowed to carry out his views and intentions, he aoinville) believed that, at the moment of writing, his father would have ceased to occupy the throne of France." • Clazentan PArixits.—Our friends of the Pennsyl vanian, Democratic Union, and -Pittsburgh Post, have etch issued proposals for publishing an Extra paper during the approaching Presidential campaign; the first number to be issued immediately after the meeting of the National Convention. These papers rank foremost among the Democratic papers of the' State, are all conducted with signal ability, and will be devoted exclusively to the political subjects con nected with the issue of the great struggle. They will be just such papers as should be in the hands of every man who desires to have correct information upon all the questions which will be involved Terms, 50 cents per single copy.—BtOord - Gazette, April 14.

If, the object aim prisonment he to reforni the wicked, and the present systems of prison discipline NI in accomplishing that olject, should rot public attention be directed to other modes of regenerating the fallen members of society t We think so, indeed. Close confine ment and scanty fare will do well enough for re: venge ; but this is a word that should be unknown among Christian legislators. Those who deserve ex ' elusion from society ore diseased, and need cures— aot puntihment. As all medicines are nauseous, so may criminal drugv be ; but they shot Id be adminis tered, nevertheless. In stut, to reform, and not to avenge, should.bc the aim. We have spoken several times in favor of semi' new plans for the treatment of criminals. In the New England States, a movement ill favor of a more humane system of prison discipline is on foot, head. ed by some of the best people. The'changes sought,' there, are also needed here; and 'while' patties are:' at work in every other branch of progress, why not begin, at the same time, a job fur those who are too low to do good for themselves. Success in this mat ter would not alone benefit the guilty man, but the entire mass of people; for we are, all members of one body, and the tortures of one causes pain throughout. This is according to the new Theory of Solidarity, and how much truth and good sense there Win it. 0;:r For some iays we have heard nothing of the poor woman,with her sick child, who was put away in an old coal shed, nt the ezponve of the philan; thropy of our citizens. We have asked many times: " What is the situation of that poor woman 7" But we got no answer. No doubt the petyle , ,s authori ties, the Guardians,, have an eye on her, it" she still remains here. We do not doubt she receives the absolute necessaries of life. We notice the matter again•and again, because we wish to remind our citizens of the urgent neces sity there is for some sort of an naylumn for the distressed. poor—not alone Nauves—but foreigiters. We trust that no other argument may be necessary then thit-furnished an the above named case, to con vince. the most callous, that a move should be made tcrorganize a society for the protection of the destitute. We are glad to notice that slme few good men are talking about beginning this work in earnest. We think that with the agitatiuns of the press, and the exertions of some citizens ; a place would soon be provided. fur the unfortunate ; and the city would no longer be disgraced by having them put in cells, and coiliheds.

We were astonished at its immensity and magnificence. The sum expended in erecting such en enormous vehicle most have been great. We think the proprietors should be esteemed as public benefactors, for their enterprise in placing before the pubic such a specimen of art. We have no sympa thy with those who denounce such work as unne cessary. Improvements in this line, as in all oth ers, tend to excite a taste for the elegant and beau tiful, and thus is refinement introduced. 1211" The Philadelphia Bulletin cries gl shame on Pittsburgh," after copying a notice of a certain dis tressing case that occurred here, a few days ago.— Now, we claim the right to make such exclamations; and would suggest to our Philadelphia neighbor to attend to the poor and distressed in his own vicinity. If all be true that we have heard, there are several people in that city whose hearts would be made glad by a little out door or in-door relief. Col. Richard M. Johnson has announced that he has concluded to run as a no-party candidate for Governorof Kentucky. We have always entertain ed a good opinion of the .scar-covered hero of the Thames, but we must say, this movement of his ma terially alter" that opinion. We trust that the Colonel, upon reflection, will see the absurdity of the position in iclikkh be has placed himself, and consent to withdraw his name. Atmorr.—On Sunday two jolly follows went out on a tour of pleasure, and came bauk with eyes downi heads light, and trembling limbs.. Though the, drovtra tractable and amiable horse, he ran wild on several occasions; and when in Ohio street,. took a start and almost ran over "two . ladies and a baby. ,, The Police interfered and had one or both of the lads arrested; but doubtless they'll take the tide out next Sunday. OW - Mr, A. McCtiststotir, who is familiarly'known to our citizens, has opened a Boot and Shoe Store, on Wend street, pear Fifth, opposite Davis , Auction store. His stock is very largo, wall selected, and is of the best manufacture in the country. We take great pleasure in recommending him to the patron age of our friends in this city and elsewhere. • Aaron= Lancarrr.—About noon yesterday the office of Weedy Grier, grocer,;,corner of Smithfield and Water, was entered while the clerks were ab sent, the safe doorAwhich was not locked) was open. ed, and the little drawer which contained the money and valuable papers; was picked open, and robbed of its contents. No one is suspected. go. We are requeited to suggest to our citizens the propriety of calling a meeting to adopt some measures in relation to a reform in the police system. It is useless to spend words in private denunciations of any wrong, while the people are free to speak out publicly what they think. If a reform can be brought about it will be by public meeting. of citi zens. Oar The Swedenborgians will soon have the best music of any congregation in the city.
