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

,of ihtercht paying inictoilicuts. The report, with
the supplement;will he published in a few days.

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

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.

Mn. 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." •
