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

, 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

unprovided with the Bible, he found but one family in

CAMP NEAR VERA CRUX,/
March 29th, 1848.
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.

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.

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.

• railhe-TaxPayers of Allegheih , Count*.
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."

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. GRACE, had a
brilliant array of passengers from Cincinnati yester
day. The Vienuoise Children, some linty eight in•
number, graced the steamer with their company:—
They . are exceedingly beautiful and fascinating 3 oung
misses, and will create quite a sensation while they
remain in this city. Governor Pearrnst, the enter
prising manager of our. Theatre, has effected an en
gagement with the Viennoise children, and they ap
pear this evening in a variety of pleasing dances.-
01 course the House will be crowded.
lidr Mr. Sunderland's audiences have been rather
thin for a few evenings past. 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. They are superb

all manner of vermin, and they will remain sweet
and delicious during the summer searon.
Lon Curti:o.—A poor woman came into our cffice
last evening, in great trouble, enquiring fur Mr.
Lynch, the bell ringer. Her child was lost. 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.
Jun Luiz ling.—When the lad Jones was dis
charged, yesterday, by the U. S. Court, Deputy
Marshal Kr_an took him in charge and promised to
see that he would be furnished with means to reach

act ae Mr. Kerr takes pleasure in performing.

by a neglect of a Cold at the first attack. 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
