Fact worth noting. • ~.During the canvass for the Presidency which re *llo4in the choice of the Apostle of American Democracy to the Presidency, in 1808, the People VihiS Country were told, by the Federal_ party, that the election ofTHOMAS Jet tEason would be a curse to the country; that it would be a triumph of French infidelity and jacobinism : that the Bible would be tianished from our country: and, in short, that if Mr. Jefferson should be elected, it would lead to the burning of the Bible publicly, in the streets. We know not what was the state of feeling , among the 'friends of Mr. Jefferson generully, at that time. We know hot whether those States which were then most decidedly Democratic were proverbial for the high degree of morality and intelligence existing among their population. .We have no statistical facts upon which to base a conclusion on this point: but wo do know that in the States now most distinguished for ignorance and infidelity, Federalism has secured a footing which cannot easily be affected. We state nothing but the feels in relation to this matter. Massachusetts, Con ; nectieut, Rhode Island, N.trth Carolina, and Ken tititticky, are; the three former the hot-beds of sorts olinfidelity, and the latter stand prominent in the s pnioxii for a lack of education among the people generally We intend to draw no inferences from tlieracts here.stateil. Let those do this who ace fit , to do so. Chu'. attention has been called to this subject, by the atatement era fact, a few days since, by a friend thought it'vrias worthy of notice. This fact is, that an agent.of the Bible Society, whom he was re centliionversing with, told him that, alter having called upon every.. family in the townships of Eliza hetli and Muffin, with'a view to ascertain who were unprovided with the Bible, he found but one family in Main township destitutni while there were forty saitti in the township of Elizabeth who had no Bible!

Dear Father:—You will no doubt be surprised When you read the date of•this letter ; seeing I have got so near home. But, lam sorry to say, it is not for that purpose we have come down. Unfortu nately, our Regiment has the reputation of being the best marching and Guerilla fighting Regiment in the service; and forthat reason, we were sent down in charge of the train. Although our charge was a very responsible one-100 Pennsylvanians in guard of 700 Wagons; (government and merchant,) containing about three millions of dollars in specie, —yet, we wcie not molested on our way by a single Guerilla. They made their appeamnce several times on hill sides; but the Mexicans say, "'ilea volun taries do Pennsylvania es mucha males,".—that is, the volunteers of Pennsylvania are very bad. The whole command of the train was under Col. Black ; and I hesitate not to say, that he gave general satis faction. The Col. is a very popular man here; and is certainly very much of a gentleman ; at least, he has shown himself as such with the soldiers he has the honor to command. It ia now generally believed that we will go borne shortly. For my part, I cannot say ; but I hope so, at least. Whether the ratification of the treaty by our Senate, will have the desired effect or not, I do not know. The Mexicans are a people in whom no confidence can be placed ; and our pettplel show themselves too anxious for a peace ; which will en courage the Mexicans to hold out much longer than they would otherwise d 7, did they see our people de termined to have peace their own way, not mindful of the cost. From all accounts that I see, Henry Clay is the most popular man among the Whigs for the Presidency. lam sorry to see this; for if he is nominated, I will have to give my first vote against my favorite party. Ido not think he has taken a very proper stand on the war question. His speech es have, you may say, almost been swallowed up by the Mexicans. BARTRAM G. LEEi'ER. The election in this State fur Senators and Rep. resentatives, took place on the 26th ultimo. The result, as far as heard from was as follows Democrats. Norfolk, (gain) 2 Princess Anne, (gain)..l Chesterfield, 1 Caroline, 1 Augusta, (gain) .1 Stafford, 1 Culpepper 1 Frederick (gain)....... 2 Rockbridge, (gain).— 1 Louisa, 1 Prince Edward, (gain)..l Spottsylvania, 1 Powhattan, 1 Prince George, 1 King & Queen, (gain)..l Brooke and Hancock. ,1 Marshall, (gain) 1 Tyler and Wetzell,.... 1 Wood & Ritchie, Igain). 1 Fauquicr, In the last House of Representatives of Virginia, there were 72 Federalists, and 62 Democrats; being a Federal majority of ten. In the counties thus far heard from, there in a Democratic gain of eleven, and a loss of fire—making a clear gain of six. In addition to this, we have a gain of one Democratic Senator in the senatorial district composed ofJetTer son, Frederick and Clarke; and another in the Rock ingham district; while in the senatorial district composed of Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City and Warwick, there is a Federal gain. From these facts, and the very important fact that there hate been no announcements by the Magnetic Tele graph, we are led to conclude that the Federalists have been beaten in the State : for where there is a Federal triumph, no matter how unimportant it may be, we have to pay fur the transmission of the intelligence by Telegraph. tGen. E. D. Twiggs declined a public dinner at Wsshington, tendered by a large number of mem bers of Congress and others. CIIANTINT STMPATIIY.-A meeting to sympathise with the charktst was held at Boston last wr ek and resolutions rprobatory of the course of Feargus o'. Conner and John O'Connell passed.

IT ES STATED that the Religious Tract Society of Paris, has made an earnest appeal to the American Society for aid, this being considered a favorable time for diffusing religious instruction.

The Democracy of Ulinots. At an enthusiastic mass meeting of the Democrats of Cass county, in . this State, held on the Bth• of April, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: in addition to which resolutions, sustaining the war, and all the other leading acts of Democrat ic policy, were adopted with equal enthusiasm and unanimity:— Resolved, That the views of the Hon. Lewis Cas■ as expressed by him in his letter to A. 0. P. Nichol son, of Nashville, Tenn., dated the alst December last, upon the war and Wilmot Proviso, are approved of by us. Resolved, That the consistency of the Eon. Lew is Cass, though a life of public service, is fully appre ciated by us, and we therefore recommend him to the democratic national convention, as our first choke for the presidency. Resolved, That James K. Pulk has, to the extent of his power, carried out the cherished principles of the democratic party. lie has guarded the American honor, and shown himself a statesman of the first class, in the bold, consistent and fearless stand ta ken infavor of American rights—which the people know to be their rights, and who will, as they have heretofore done, stand by him to, the end. Resolved, That the coarse pursued by the member from the 4th congressional district, is condemned by this meeting, and as we from our agricultural knowledge know that forced productions will !not bear good fruit when removed to a clime where the atmosphere is obnoxious to them, we, therefore, suggest to the Hon. John Wentworth, the propriety ofvacating his seat in Congress, to return to his con stituents, and endeavor to understand their wishes. =M=== Letter from Dlexteo. Virginia Election.

The labors of the editor of the " Post," in guard ing and defending _ the interests of, the Tax-payers of this county, against the wit ,'machinations of'stook 'jobbers, under the name of the "Central Rail Road Company," are appreciated. by the farnieis and work ing men amogg us.. Whether theaelahars,May tend save this aainiunity'fronfburdens'petiposed tope inflicted upon the . jrOustry of our citizens, by recent indications on the part of the Cominissioners of the county, will shortly be determined. The "Post," however, has done its duty; and a Tax payer re spectfully asks leave to add a word or two, in con demnation of the infamous sCheme, to Tyr the peo pie of Allegheny county for the immediate benefit of Philadelphia capitalists. The cane is this :.Certain men of large estate, have addressed a joint letter to the Commissioners, requesting them, under authority of law, to sub scribe one million of dollars on the part of the coun ty; but, prudentially, in the first instance, memo mend ing an expression of public opinion, by the call of a Convention for the ratification of the wishes of those who have resolved to add to the public burdens, the sum of one million of dollars. The gentlemen engaged in this attempt to oppress the Tax-payers, have argued their case, as special I pleaders are accustomed to do. Imposing facts are narrated ; and their " fancy sketch " is presented, with all the wild and extravagant zeal of the " mad cat Rail Road Company," in the neighborhood of Salt River." Those special guardians of our county interests have, however, neglected to inform us.that the ille gal proposition to Tax the city and county of Phila delphia, "at least one thitd of the capital stock" of the Central Railroad Company, equal to about two millions fine hundred thcusand dollars , has utterly failed; and the opinion of an eminent awyer, John M. Read has pronounced any and every attempt to saddle the city of Philadelphia, with a debt for Rail Road purposes, as illegal and unamstitutional. Tho legislature of Pennsylvania cab give and grant no right to a city corporation or quasi county corpora tion for purposes so potentous with evil to the Tax payers of Philadelphia or any county in the state.— Establish the monstrous principle, that a county may be tared for Railroad purposes to benefit corpora tors in England or Holland, who may be stock hold ers in the Central Railroad, and then with equal claim to legal right, the legislature may authorize a subscription by the county commissioners for the op pression of every branch of trade and commerce.— Allegheny county, may, next year, under pretence of law, be called upon to subscribe another million of dollars, to build and construct Steam Packets, in conjunction with some eastern commercial corpora tion, for the purpose of importing Teas Irons China! We may also have all our cotton spinning, steam engine building, and glass manufacturing done, in and about Massachusetts by corporations, provided we, kind, submissive souls, consent to be stockhold ers is Incorporated companies, created for those be nevolent and beneficial purposes! But the day has gone by, when free men, such as lice in Allegheny, can be thus cheated by Philadel phia Stockjobbers. It is therefore proper to advise the county commissioners, that they are greatly mis taken, in the it supposition "that they would proba bly be authorized by the act of assembly, to ebb ., scribe to the capital stock of the Pennsylvania RAI Road Company." Toe general powers of the commissioners are well understood by the working class; and had the com missioners of the county consMted their solicitor, Mr. Todd, who is a well read lawyer, they would not hare ventured to publish to the world, so egre gious an error ofjudgment ' ou the inhject of their power to bind the real and personal estate sf the T.upayers of Allegheny county. In these strictures, a word is not uttered unfavor able to the "Pennsylvania Rail Road" enterprise. The work shall have some aid from the writer of this article. His object is to protest against a system of Taxation, calculated to grind the workieg classes, and emphatically 0 to make the Rich richer, and the Poor poorer." And the history of privileged classes or corporations, but too plainly demonstrate the evils complained of. That Railroads benefit the wealthy, more than the men, who live by the sweat of their brow, can not successfully be controverted. Let men or wealth —the Great Land jobbers anions us and in Phila delphia, come forward, and liberally subscribe fur the construction and completion of Works, which must enhance the value of their property. Ii is op pression, tyranny, to abstract from the savings of the mechanic, taxes, which go directly to benefit the purse proud. The wages of labor is not advanc ed where Railroads abound : but rents and provisi ons are sure to ascend to the scale of high prices. In a word, if we are to have Railroads, (and it is hoped we may,) let capitalists nut stand back, when the laboring classes decline to be lazed in Alleghe— ny county, for the accommodation of Philadelphia and Foreign stockjobbers. The People of this county should rise in their ma jesty on the 27th May, the day proposed by the com missioners to assertain the wishes of The County on the subject of lazing our eiftens an additional Mil lion of dollars, and rebuke the illegal attempts to impose intolerable burdens upon the present sad future generations. To remove all debuts as to the opinion of the dis tinguished lawyer above spoken of, the following es tracus are taken from the 'Opinion of .1. M. Reed, Esq./against the right of the city councils to sub scribe fur stock, in the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany, and to increase the city debt and TAICS for that purpose: " The State, for the purpose of municipal reputa tion, is divided into counties, and these again are subdivided into townships, cities, boroughs and dis tricts, whilst in some parts of the Commonwealth, particular opinions of the police are entrusted to se parate bodies,such as the Guardians of the Poor and the Board of Health in this city and county. All these communities are bodies politic and corporate; and if all subscribed to - this company, it would virtu ally be a State subscription, pledging the whole of the taxable property of the state for the payment of its interest and the redemption of its principal. " The Legislature certainly did not contemplate this, and it i■ therefore unreasonable to suppose that they intended to transfer their taxing and burrowing power to subordinate commumt es, with extremely limited administrative authorities. " Besides, these words are to be found in the act of 1792, incorporating the Bank of Pennsylvania, and it wait never supposed that the city of Philadel phia might, under such language, have subscribed to the whole of the stock thrown open to the public, and have thus united a bank of discount, deposite and circulation to their ordinary municipal power.. " Having than stated, in detail, the grounds of.my opinion on the question submitted to me; it affords me the strongest gratification to know that upon the law of the case, I am sustained by the deliberate opinion of Horace Binary, Esq., the ablest and most accomplished lawyer our State has ever produced. " I must therefore answer the question put to me in the negative, for I am of opinion: " First—That the select and common councils have no authority either to subscribe to, or to order a subscription by the Mayor to the stock of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, nor have they power to borrow money to pay for such subscription, nor to lay a tax upon the persons or estates of the wizens for the payment of the interest, or the repayment of the principal of such a loan. " Second—That such powers were impolitic, inex pechent and dangerous to be vested in a municipal body, and were so considered by the framers of the act of 1789, who never intended to connect a rail road, a bank, a canal or a turnpike with the corpo ration of the city. JOHN M. READ." Philadelphia, Oct. 6, 1845. DEATH OF SENATOR ASHLEY. It is with profound regret that we have to state the death of Chester Ashley, nal , one of the U. S. senators from the State of Arkansas He was walk ing about in perfectly apparent health on Monday, was attacked on Tuesday, and is now no more. This rapid and melancholy event has filled both houses of Congress and this whole community with the deepest commisseration. Yesterday the Senate remained but a short time in session, and adjourned out ofrespect for their dying colleague. In an hour afterwards he breathed his last. Very soon after the melancholy tidings reached the House, they too adjourned. Mr. Ashley was an influential and respected mem ber of the dignified body to which he has belonged for several years. He was Chairman of the Judici ary Committee ; and his voice, though not often heard in the chamber, was always heard with re spect. He was beloved in his domestic circle, and amiable in his private relations. We cannot ade quately express.the sympathy which the whole com munity feel for his amiable wife and daughter, who administered the last offices of love to the expiring senator. We leave it to his other friends to sketch his political life, and do full justice to his portrait. It is a remarkable circumstance, that one of the senators from Arkansas has, within a month, resign. ed his seat, and the other is now removed by death. Her two senators will now owe their places to the appointment of her governor.--Union, April 30th. .UP Lamartino wrote to M. Pageot, Louis Phil ipe,a minister in Washington, thus:—" If you serve the exterior policy of the provisional government with sincerity, dignity and prudence, you will find in me a just and kind appreciator of your acts, happy to estimate at their proper value the services you may render to the nation." gar The little dancers are at the Exchange and a Christy's. - - ve-t?

LOCAL MATTERS. UNITED FTATES DIbTHICT Comor.-The only case taken. up yesterday was United States as. Oliver Jones, who is indicted for robbing the mail. Jones is a lad about sixteen, and is extremely delicate in appearance. lie was post boy from Meadville in this state tuJamestown, N.Y. The offence ischarged to haireyen committed on the Bth of March last, about twelve tnilcs from Meadville and four from New Richmond. The Post Master at New Itch mond testified that on the evening of the Bth the boy called at his office with the bag, in which ho discov ered a hole. lie got it patched, over hauled the mail and started him on. On the 21st, some men who were working on the road, about four miles west of New Richmond, found some letters behind a log, which should base been left at witness' office on the Sth. Witness had the. Post Boy arrested that day. This is about the substance of the testimony- of the first witness which will go to show the character of the crime charged. We understand that he had a Eumt defence. Mr. Wylie U. S. District Attorney; appeared for United States; Messrs. bleCaltnont and Selden for Defence. —The above was written for yesterday's issue, but was crowded out. The case went to the 4 9nry yes terday afternoon, and after au absence of a few min- Ines, they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. In the afternoon, the C4llO of the United Stales it Win. Fielding, was taken up. The defendant is it dieted fur passing galvanized pocket pieces, which bear some resemblance to Eagles, for the American coin called Eagles. The defendant was arrested by Mr. Reno, a few days ago, and committed by the Mayor. He is from Cincinnati. The pieces which he passed were the business cards of a Cincinnati hatter. The principal witness against him was Mrs. Moor, a widow lady of this city. He passed a piece upon her, and ;received city scrip in exchange. Mr. Darragh, who appeared fur Defendant, contended that be might be guilty of obtaining goods by false tokens, in which case the U. S. Court had no juris diction ; but the offence charged did not come with in the action of the law under which the indictment was framed. The pieces bear no similitude to the gold coin of the United States, and here Mr. D. ex hibited one of them. :He further contended that the notes received in change from the prosecutor were worthless in point of law, being city scrip.— The Courts had decided that they could not be coun terfeited nor stolen. Mr. Wylie followed on the part of the U.S., in an address to the Jury, which we did nut hear, nor have we heard thd result of the case. Mertiontsr Cotrriracmcr..—When we entered the Church yesterday morning, we found the members of the Conference in an animated debate on the sub• ject of the Press, Printing, &c. We did not aee any real merit in the controversy, though motion upon motion was made, and each member had something to say. We believe the whole matter was laid on the table. Another trifling question was brought up, as to what question was debateable. Here again was a nother opportunity for a rare display on the part of those who took no note of time. A motion was made that in all questions of order, not provided for by the Rules of the General Conference, the Rules of Congress should be adopted. This was passed, and afterwards reconsidered. They finally decided that a motion to lay on the table was not debateable, and thus passed this difficulty. The order of the day was then announced, and the delegates from the various Conferences were called upon to present their communications. ' A number of memorials were presented for and against the proposed division of the New York Con ference. A memorial was presented from the Maine Con ference, signed by two members of the Church.— They stated in substance that: About twelve years ago, one of them had contributed $lOO, to re-estab lish the New York Methodist Book Concern, which had been btirned down ; and the other had contribu ted $5O for the same purpose. They had never in tended to ask that this money should be refunded ; but it the General Conference now assembled should conclude to divide the church property with the south, they will ask to have their money returned, as they cannot consent to give thew means in sup port ofelavery. This memorial was referred. A memorial was presented from the Wyandot In dians, asking for protection hem the attempts of the "Church South" to force their missionaries up on them. Five memorials were presented from members of the M. E. Church, in Kentucky and Arkansas; ask ing to be recognized by the Church North. Some of the brethren are antislavery spirit, while one declared that they wanted the books of the Church circulated among them, (shut not abolition papers nor tracts; neither pro-slavery documents 'I A letter from a Meeting of the British Conference, , held in Liverpool, was next read, introducing the Rev. Dickson to the members of the Conference, as their representative of the body in Great Britain.— The Rev. gentlemanZby request, came forward, and addressed a short speech to the Conference, in which he exhibited fine taste and excellent spirit. lie spoke in great favor with the institutions of the coun try, and gave an account of his interview with the le9ing men in Washington. In relation to the di vision of the church in this country he said he spoke for the entire body .of the M. E. Church of Great Britain, when he declared that their sympathies were wholly on the side ofliberty. lie would not interfere in the matter. Alter he had concluded, a resolution of thanks was adopted, and Rev. Dickson was invited to participate in the proceedings. SS' In consequence of the immensity of Tom Thumb's audiences,' he moved up to the Atheneum yesterday, Apollo Hall being rather small.

TEE COURT HOUSE, FALLING Dowur.--This is a startling head; particularly to the tax-payers of the County, who have suffered some , by the exactions of the county government for the purpose of raising these huge walls. But is the building really falling down? We were told so yesterday morning, and be lieved the story almost, because we have several times heard it hinted that all was not as it should be in the building. We took a look at the south side, and there sure enough was at least one evidence of a giving way. A portion of the rotten said-stone, which the builders used, has fallen off--with a crash. The foundations were not examined, but we p,e some all was right. The Courts did not adjourn, nor were the offices'deserted; but all- moved on as usual, regardless of the event. PAITEESON'S COACH WAHEHOUSE.-Our friend Patterson, the well known coach builder, has open ed a new warehouse, on Smithfield street, oppo site to Weaver''s Merchants' Hotel, which is really well worth9i visit from those who feel disposed to examine fine specimens of workmanship. Mr. Pat torsos keeps constantly on hand and makes to order, all kinds of carriages and vehicl..s, from large road wagons down :o that most indispensable article, a wheelbarrow. Hisramily carriages are beautiful and substantial, and are fully equal to any manufactured in the Eastern cities. We would advise such or our friends as may wish to purchase any thing in his line of business, to give Mr. Patterson a call. P The EMLIA:4T, Capt. R. J.

There are too many amusements in the city just now ; and besides, Mr. S. has been greeted by largo and crowded houses for twelve or fifteen nights. His experiments still continue to be interesting ; and if there are any who have not witnessed them, we advise them to go to-night. John Little, Jr. Third street, between. Wood and Market, has for sale a large lot of prime Cincin nati cured Hams, for family use.

Lynch could not be found; but some little boys found a bell, and started through the streets, and were for tunately not long gone till the little truant was dis covered.

How many persons are there that put off from time to time procuring a suitable medicine, until the disease begins to assume a serious character, when in all probability they are past the power of medical aid. May these few lines prove a warning to those afflicted with the first symptoms of Con sumption, that they.may itnmediatety use ...Dr. Durican , s Expectorant Remedy," which is expressly for the disease of the respiratory system. It is certain to remove a Cough in a few days, at the same time relieving the pain in the side and breast, and arresting the progress or this fatal disease—Consumption! The "Expectorant Reme dy" has a decided advantage over all other preparations. It is elitirely free from Opium, and all other violent nar metier'. It regulates the system, and gives strength to the weak and nervous. irrSold by "%VAL J.A.cissos, Agent, SO Liberty street, Pittsburgh, Pa. ups DEATH OH SLIGHT COLD.—Dy neglecting those salutaryM A precautions which common sense dictates, many —very many—fall victims to their imprudence.
