In relation to the justice and constitutionality of the war—if his friends shall choose to make that an issue, he and they will be met, in a manner that :viral show them how unavailing: are all their efforts to render indious,tnealures called for and sanctioned by the %Mee of their countrymen.

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. Penasyk4;ania Railroad. We learn frum the- Pennsylvanian of Saturday, that the supplement to the charter of the Pennsyl vania Railroad cempany was'censidered andectept 7 ed by the stock ho'ders, at a meeting held in 3 Mat city on Friday. This amendment to the charter of the company is all thefritinds of that greut work could desire, and it places the - stock at once iipon.theJt4 ,of ihtercht paying inictoilicuts.
