Termination of the. Railroad.
Airsoineinnapprehemion appears to exist in rein
..
lion to this subject, we take occasion to say, on the
veirbest authority; that Pittsburgh will, beyond all
doubt or cavil, be the western termination of the
central Nailroad. No other place has ever been
tkought of; and indeed, at the present moment, as
Maxtor our citizens are aware, a cqpsiderable per
,.iioitilf-the Road from this city gastwaxil is actually
• lairdy Contract. ' ,
pi another column will be seen a communication
on the sttbject of this great work, which is, we think
notified to a fair and impartial attention. 'We have
had nohesitation in saying, from the 'outset, that we
do not approve of the manner in which it is proposed
CO commence this work, deeming it liable to many
and Stripes objections. We Should greatly prefer
to see all works of the kind accomplished by exclu
sively individual enterprise, as .well because of7the
limiter cheapness of their construction in this way,
as on account of the greater responsibility that may
be attached to the companies undertaking them; and
the checks which may be impOsed upon them ; but
there are considerations connected with this under
taking that should, and we believe do, operate pow.
erfully, among our citizans, to impress them favor
ably with the proposed plan :of Commencing the
Work, if they can be satisfied that it is not likely to
impose upon them the additional burthen of taxation.
Eferehilies the difficulty in the way of what is term
ed the County Subscription.
We are free to say, that, in view of the plan pro
posed, , there does not seem to be even the most re
motet; probability of any increase in our taxes, re
al:think from the subscription, fj fhe road shalt prove
to be prifitable ; sod of this we presume there is no
- iiie'who his any serious doubts. The proposition
omits to be simply this:—that the county of Alle
&ay, shall authorize the issuing of bonds to the
Weinint.of one million of dollars, with a view to the
iiimmencement of the work. These bonds will be
nhealay the company, and will at once pass into
the binds of. contractors, fot their full value; and
vpiliti" theta, they will raise the amount of money,
.
with which immediately to commence the work.--
'While. the road shall be in' process of completion,
thise.ciunty will ho receiving a regular interest of six
percent.; and not one dollar will have to be paid by
the county, until the completion of the work; when,
should the road prove not to be a profitable one,
the money must of course be raised by the county.
We cannot, however, for a moment, think that this
work Will be unprofitable. Inched, the strongest
probability is, that it will be the most profitable pub
fia:Warkain the countrY; and that it must prove
treat advantage to Pittsburgh and Allegheny comity,
we cannot doubt.
!.`'Presuming that it will be thus profitable and ad-
trantageous, we do not see that the proposed plan
Can result in an additional tax of one cent upon the
county.: fOr, if the county should prefer to have no
stuck in the road—a thing not to be presumed--her
bonds witLecimmand their full value, at any time,
from-thoseho may wish to purchase the stock;
this she will be relieved from all responsibility ;
Whilecif she doll prefer to be a stockholder, she
can raise.the money at any time to cancel her bonds,
and receive from , the road an interest upon her in
• taitment, far exceeding the per tentage at which
;he - Could obtain the money to cancel them.
..„•_4l(o,:facta . ofthe case, therefore, seem to be that,
l r x hi ! bonds
shall be issued, Allegheny county will
Ise-tMe:tost upon one million of dollars,
until the road ehall f lbe - completed : It may not be
finished without Ibt4.,resiensibility on bet part: her
cititensytilkbetb.enefitted from the increased amount
of trade that will be brought to the city: she may re
ceive a handsome per tentage upon the stock, if she
ahall choose to become a stockholder ; and there
need not be raised a dollar in money, by the county,
nor will the tiles be increased on this account to
the amount of one cent.
;We: hare thus refered tothis subject with reference
to'what seem to be.the facts connected with it, hay
in bear ng upon tbe pecuniary interests of the
•
county : - :There are other aspects in whiCh. the
:ittestion may be' viewed ; but as -a review of the
subject with reference to other interests, and'more

Mr.- Seuatii> Foote i - Ole 9tic ttsbt
alluded-to thelate aeti-'ittiaed...eetioitiertetin letter
of Judge M.Lean- , vin the following= justly !lettere
" it, a:leer-the judges uf tlie Silyierne Court has .
lately taken it upon himself; whilst the country war'
engaged in a war with a neighborini nation, to throw.
the whole weight of his personal character and offi
cial influence against his own government, and in
favor of the public enemy. He has declared the
war with Mexico unjust, cruel and unchristian. He
has done more: he has undertaken to dictate to
Congress as to the legisislation proper to be adopted
in relation to this war, and has recommended meas
ures such as would have disgraced the nation, and
whiclieo true friend .to his country in either lionise
of Congress could ever hive sanctioned. He has
urged that nn' Supplies should' be granted for the
support of our army in Mexico--thad no author
ity should be given to congress for the issuance of
treasury notes, so that the government might be
compelled, if ;he war *Mould be continued, to resort
to the most grinding taxation; and thus, by the influ
ence ofserioua suffering upon our people, to con
strain them to demand of the President the recall of
our brave troops from Mexico, and the termination
of the war, without such indemnity for the past and
security for the future as can alone secure the na
tional honor: •
•
ffir, I have no words strong enough to express the
contempt which I feel for such sentiments as this
judicial functionary has dared to avow. I know not
which most to condemn, the unpatriotic views which
he has promniged. or his unblushing audacity in at
tempting to dictate to Congresses to the course pro
per to be pursues) at this delicate and difficult junc
ture of our affairs: It is certain that he has been
guilty of a high .offence against public decency; that
he has expressed sentiments which if acted out,
would consign him to the scaffold as a traitor to his
country;*that he has- soiled, and deeply soiled, the
pure ermine of justice, with which he stands invest
ed; that he has shown himself anything but a true
American in heart, and a wretched devotee to fac
tion in its worst and most accursed form.
I will not say that hie conduct has been precisely
as bad as that of the notorious Arnold, but I do say
that our public councils have been profaned by in
sidious harrangues that Lucius Catalina himself
would have been ashamed to pronounce ; and even
the high tribunal where a Marshall was* once seen
to preside with a majestic dignity which, acknowl
edged no affinity with the low feeling of partizan
warfare, has been so discredited by a presidency
seeking official, that neither gentleman nor patriot
van consent hereafter to be elevated to the noble 4
and most sacred office in the republic, without feel
ing that he is disgraced even by the attempt to ad
vance him.
The Shenandoah
We yesterday morning paid a visit to this new boat
now lying at the foot of Wood street; and designed
as a'rsgular packet between this city and St. Louis.
We did not get her dimensions, but were greatly
pleased with the neatness and utility of 'all Ater in
terior arrangements, and her appearance as she sits
upon the water. She is, we are told, capable of
carrying 300 tons of freight, with a draught of not
more than 30 inches of water; and has most capa
cious accommodations for upwards of SO cabin pas
sengers. The Shenandoah was built at Brownsville,
and is owned by Mesas. M. Allen 4-Co. B. F. In
ghram, and others. Her gentlemanly commander,
and other officers have also an interest in her; and
the travelling public stay therefore embark upon her
with every assurance of being well provided for, and
having every attention paid to their comfort, while
shippers are offered the best security for, an honest
and faithful attention to their interests.

This band of accomplished musicians, whose fame
had reached Pittsbbrgh before they came among us,
has been well sustained. Indeed, no musical en
tertainments ever given in this city, have probably
been so well patroniied. We are' glad that this is
so: for we have never listened, in any part•pf the
country, to such a perfect " concord of met
sounds." The " Overture to Der Freyshutz," and
the !. Marsellaise," on Monday evenitig, our own
" Yankee Doodle" and the most exquisite " Casta
Diva," on Tuesday evening, perhaps touched our
feelings more than any other passages in the pieces
they performed. The "Rail Road Gallopade" is
one of the most perfect imitations, we think, that
can be conceived of; and was received with the
most tremendous bursts of applause,—having been
loudly called for on every evening of the perform
ance. But we were too much enraptured to be
strictly critical ; and must not speak of their per
formances except as a whole : as such we have spo
ken of them in the outset.

Ma. HARPER :—lnasmuch as there is, at present,
considerable diversity of opinion, existing in the
minds of the people in relation to the million (tax]
subscription asked from the taxable' by certain
wealthy gentlemen, take this occasion of ma
king a proposition to some of those that are so anx
ious to involve the County ; and most certainly, if
what they are circulating be true, that this invest
ment will pay 6 per cent., they can have no objec
tion to deal honestly with a confiding people. I
propose that Col. Wm. Robinson, Hon. H. Denny,
Hon. Wm. Wilkins, N. B. Craig, Esq., W. G. Haw
kins, T. Lorenz, and as many more of the rich in
property as deem it advisable, will enter Into a bond,
that the interest on this sum, or any, other that may
from time to time be obtained from the County, fat'
said purpose of constructing the Central Railroad,
will be faithfully, and annually paid to the proper
officer of the County, so.long as said Company use
the credit and faith of Allegheny county. Let the
taxables that will assemble in Convention, demand a
pledge of this description. Whatever they, in their
wisdom, deem advisable there, they will not or can-
not be fleeced at the will or mercy of property
speculators. These care not for the farmer or the
poor man, if they can but enjoy the fruits of their
labor.
Delegates to the proposed Convention of Wednes
day, the 31st instant, remember that you are to re
present the will and wishes of the people. Present
a resolution of the following nature :
Resolved, That this Cohvention will `agree and
advise to the subscription of a million (or more) by
the County Commissioners, for the purpose of con
structing the contemplated Railroad, provided, that
good and sufficient security be entered into by sub
stantial men, pledging.their property that lawful in
terest be paid annually, so long as the faith and
credit of the county be pledged or mide use of by
said Company. EQUAL JUSTICE.

The question iitine.of-vital importance to our city,
and equally so to tha wintry. The subscribers be
' ing fully impressed, with the momentuus nature of
the question, cannot consent to let the decision take
place, without an effort to procure:that:result which
they believe will greatly conduce to the prosperity of
this city and surrounding country.
They have regretted to perceive that efforts have
been made, not. ,to enlighten the public mind as to
the true merits of the question, but to excite un
'worthy prejudices, not to give correct information,
but to mislead and
.not
hones', well meaning men.
They, on the contrary, intend to make a plain, un
varnished statement, feeling confident-that to secure
'a:correct decision, it is only necessary to give you -
correct information.
One of the most unworthy attempts to mialead or
prejudice your minds, was by the effort to urray one
class of our community against the other; by repre
senting the proposed subscription as a tax upon the
many for the benefit of a few rich land Pr°Prietors l -
Is it not a little singular that in Philadelphia, the
directly opposite position was taken by the wealthy
owners of real estate. There it was contended by
some of the wealthiest and most talented men in the
country, that the proposed subscription would bean
tax upon the owners of real estate, fur
the benefit of the mechanics and working men:
In this city, it has been argued, that although the
pretended tax, would,in the first instance, be paid by
the owners of the real estate, yet that they would
be abundantly reitribursedjby increased rents,and the
:tenants be oppressed by those higher rents. Can it
be necessary to ezposethe fallacy of such arguments?
If it is, the subicribers would ask what would cause
a rise of rents? Surely not the mere making of a
railroad. But the making ofa railroad would create
an increase of business, and thus attract an increase
of population, and an increased demand for houses.
Why is it that tents are higher in Pittsburgh than in
Butler? Because there is more business here than
in that clever, healthy little borough. Dees sny one
of those men who use this must odious argument,
ever think of migrating to Butler, because rents are
low there? Surely not.
Bit those who argue so strenously against a sub
scription, on the ground that it will increase rents,
and thus oppress the working classes, should, in all
consistency advance another step—they should use
'every exertion to hasten the completion of the New
York and Erie railroad, and the extension or the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Wheeling. This
ovould cut off nine tenths of the business of Pitts-
Itturgh, and our warehouses would then soon be close
ed, the grass would grow in our streets; and rents
would be as low as the most penurious tenant could
desire. Hundreds and thousands of industrious, en
terprising men would abandon this doomed city, to
go to some more prosperons place; and the advo
cates of no railroads and low rents would have here
a standing memorial of their policy.
The subscribers reluctantly notice this unworthy
attempt to prevent a subscription by thecounty, not
by appealing to the reason and good sense of the
taxpayers, but by arousing base prejudices and ex
citing jealousy among people whose interests are all
closely united.
Great misapprehension exist as to the nature of
the proposed subscription. Many, believe that it
must be followed by an immediate tax. This is an
entire mistake. The subscription will be paid as
called for in the bonds of the county, payable at
such time as may be agreed upon, say in eighteen
and twenty years. These bonds will be received at
their par value by the Company in payment' of the
instalments as they come due, and by an act of the
last legislature, the company is authorized and is
bound to pay interest semiannually at the rate of
six per cent. upon these bonds, until the work is
completed, and to change this interest as a part of
the cost of construction. The interest thus paid by
the Company will meet the interest payable-on the
; bonds, so that the county will not be required to
levy one dollar of tax on account of the subscrip
tion, so long as the Railroad is in course of con
struction. When the road is completed this pay
ment of interest by the company will cease, but the
county will then be entitled to receive its pro rata
share of the profits of the road in the shape of div
Wends.
Now, as to the probable profits, the 'subscribers
will make a few remarks. The Baltimore road,
which is only half finished, and cost $8,000,000,
pays eight per cent. dividends. Our road, when
completed, will takeall the western tradeand travel, •
and will cost but about $6,000,000. It is surely a
moderate estimate to say, that it will at least equal
the Baltimore road in its half finished state. Eight
per cent. profits would pay all the interest upon the
bonds, and would leave a clear balance of $20,000
to go into the county treasury. But, the almost cer
tain result would be, that it will pay ten per cent.,
which would increase the surplusprofits of the
county to 440,000, which would miser the whole
present county tax. These estimates are founded on
the resultir of all the well managed roads iii Massa
chusetts aOrsNew York, and should Satisfy every
reasonable man, of the propriety of the subscription,
without further argument. The subscription, in
fact, would be nothing more than a loan of the credit
of the comity ; which never could result in any bur
then 'upon the tax-payers. In no event can the road
produce less than 6 per cent., which will, of course,
cover the interest upon the bonds, and all profits
above that amount, will go to ■well the revenue of
the county, and obviate the necessity of tazationfor
ordinary purposes. •
But suppose an extreme case; suppose that the
road, when finished, should pay no dividend at all;
suppose the county should hays to pay the entire a
mount of interest on the bonds; say sixty thousand
dollars yearly; will we not be amply compensated
by the increased value of agricultural and otherpro
ducts, consequent upon the opening of a cheap and
speedy communication to the sea board available at
all seasons of the year.
Recollect, fellow citizent, how mach was lost by
the detention of produce at this place; in the spring
of 1847. Bear in mind, also, that upon the subscrip
tion of a million of dollars here, the city of Phila
delphia will have to subssribe an additional trillion;
and that the whole amount will be expended in the
completion of the road on the west side of the
mountains. What an impulse will be given to busi
ness, to the value of produce, and to every acre of
land in the county, by the expenditure of such an
immense amount of money!
Recollect, too, fellow citizens, that there is not
only good to be accomplished, but evil to be warded
off, by a prompt subscription here of a million of
dollars. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany have, after - 164- consideration, resolved to a
void our city, and extend their road to a point on
the Ohio below us; there to intercept a large portion
of our trade.
The work they expect to accomplish by means of
the large reveauts derived from the business contri
buted by our city.
The sagacious head of that company perceives
clearly that his plan is a practicable one, and noth
ing but a wiser and a more energetic policy on our
part can defeat it. But fortunately, Allegheny coun
ty holds her own, and the Baltimore company's des-
tiny in her own hands. By a prompt subscription of
a million of dollars, Allegheny county may secure
an early completion of the Central Railroad and
thus at once tear from the hands of the Baltimore
company, the very means by which it hopes to ac
complish our ruin.' Complete our rail road, the busi
ness on the Baltimore road will not pay expenses,
and their schema of extension to Wheeling must ne
cessarily be abandoned. An obvfous consequence
of this abandonment of the Baltimore scheme would
be the concentration of all the western Rail Roads
in our vicinity instead of at Wheeling. So that by
a prompt subscription we not only secure the ter
mination of the Central Railroad, but nt the same
time insure the convergance at this point orseveral
western Railroads, and defeat for ever a hostile and
dangerous project.
Fellow citizens, we address you in all frankness.
We believe an important crisis in our affairs has ar

Presbyterian General .Assembly.
We gave, on yesterday, a _brief notice of the pro
ceedings on the forenoon of the first day. The fol
lowing is a brief statement of the business of the al:
ternoon:
After the calling of the roll, the House proceeded
to the election of a Moderator. The following gen
tlemen were put in nomination:
Rev. Dr. McGill of the Presbytery of Ohio; Rev.
.1. C. Lord of Buffalo city, New York; Rev. Dr. Sco-
All of Madison, Indiana; and the Rev. Dr. Cuyler of
Philadelphia.
On motion, Dr. Cuyler had permission to with
draw his narnefrorn the nominations.
The vote was then taken viva race, when it ap
peared that •Dr. McGill, of the Presbytery of Ohio,
had been duly elected. The Rev. gentleman, on
being conducted to the chair, returned his thanks in
a few appropriate remarks, to the memGers of the
Assembly, for. the honor they had conferred upon
him.
The house then proceeded to the election of a
Stated Clerk, whereupon the Rev. D. V . McClean,
of Freehold, G. J., was unanimously elected.
Dr. Cnyler then moved that too House adjourn in
order that the Moderator might have nn opportunity
to select the standing committees. The motion pre
vailed and the House adjourned.
Aid to Ireland.
The Irish Relief Committee of New York city,
have published a full report or theamportant transac
tions with which they, were entrusted. It appears
that the total. cash donations for Ireland amounted
to $171,374,24, and the donations in breadituffa,
provisions and clothing, to $70,65 55—t0ta1,5242,-
042 99. The largest single gift was that of hlcasrs.
Corcoran & Riggs, the Washington bankers, $5,000;
a lady also $l,OOO by the hands of Wm. Wood, Esq.;
James L. Wadsworth, Eeq., of Geneasee, $l.OOO.
On the 2d of February last there was a balance of
some $6OO in the handi of the Treasurer. The
amount of freights paid by the British Government
on articles sent from this country for the• relief of
Ireland and Scotland, was .C 42,673 I7s. or upwards
of $210,000.
A Curiosity,
Under this head, a Ravenna (Ohio) paper states I
that Mr. James Crane, of Portage county, while en-,I
gaged a short time since in splitting barrel staves
from a white oak tree, which was perfectly sound,
and after he had worke I up twenty or twenty-five
feet from - the bUtt end, he discovered what he sup
posed to be a knot, at least eight inches from the
outside; but opening it, found it to contain a mid
dling sized toad, which had remained in this space
until there-had grown eight inches of timber over
him - . - Mr. Crase says he made staves from all sides
of the tree where the toarl lay. When the little
customer was shown daylight, he stretched himself,
hopped'a short distance at first, until he reached a
puddle of water,where he took leave of Mr. C
The account also states that the place in the umber
from which the toad taken, leaves a fair imprint of
this little inhabitant, who most have been locked up
in his narrow cell many .years.
Evvrta or Two Mormis,—The Now York Tri_
bune gives the following summary of ,tic result of
recent movements in Europa :
The utter abolition of Royalty and Aristocracy in
France, and the establishment instead of a
thorough Democracy, POlitical and Social.
The virtual fusion of, the various Kingdoms, Gnitid
Duchies and States, composing Germany into.one
great Federative Empire, retaining some monar
chical forms, but thorouguly imbued with a repub.
lican spirit and protected by Liberal institutions.
The liberation and independence of Italy, and its
partial if not complete union into a Confederacy
or League, with a commcin Flag, Tariff, Army and
Code.
The resurrection of Poland, and its re-admission as
en independent end powerful Republic into the
great family of Civilised and Christian Nations :
and
The liberation of Bohensia,Hungary, and the Tyrol,
kc., from the despotic grasp in which they have
so long been crushed, and the reduction of Aus
tria from the first to about the third rank among
the Powers of Europe;
Goon atm Svaorine —A capital story is 'going the
rounds of private circles, and is deemed A -pretty
smart one. A fight occurred some time since in a
town in -111issisrdppi, between two individuals, who
had some little personal misunderstandings with each
other, and there wail a good deal of knocking down,
blacking eyes, gouging and biting, and various oth
er little variations of the pugilistic science—every
thing was considered perfectly fair. At last one got
the other "on the hip," and bit off the end of his
adversary's nose. Thus ended the fight, and each
cried " enough." A physician, a friend of the
maimed one, picked up the precious morsel and
stitched it on its parent stock again, bandaging 'up
the parts and giving a few brief directions how to
treat it. A few days after the physician called to see
his patient, and atter wiping the perspiration from
his lace, he said : "Well, Jackson, how's your
nose? " " The Lord only knows—l don't" grum
bled the dufferer ; " look and see." The doctor
raised the bandage, and, after examining his nose,
said: ell, Jackson, your nose looks pretty well."
"Does, eh!" replied the patient; "I don't know how
the it looks, but it smells d—d bad."

TIM PROPERTY OP Louts PI/ILLIPPE.—The osact
amount . of the debts of the list of Louis Phillipe is
now said to be nearly 40,000,000 f., of which half is
due to individuals, and the other halt' to the Treas.
ury. These debts cannot be discharged at present,
the private domain being merely sequestration, and
the question of a sale being reserved for the de
cision or the National Assembly. The ancient do
mains price presents an estimated value of 20,000,-
000 f. The succession of. Madame Adelaide, which
has fallen to the Prince do Joinvillo and the Duke de
Montpensier, is valied at 60,000,0001., besides 20,-
000,0001., leit' to the-Duke de Nemours. The suc
cession of the Prince de Conde, which came to the
Duke de Aumale, is estimated at 100,000,000 f.

LOCAL MATTER:
Mrrnransx Cowrzactree.—The proceeding:elf
yesterday were quite interesting,.and in some !ben
sure exciting. The Committee on the State of the
Church sent in two Reports, containing declarations
of principles and Resolutions ih, relation to the
Property_Question." These brought the exciting
topic of Slavery incidentally before the Conference.
The morning was taken, in discussions upon various
points, and in the passage of one or two sections of
the declaration submitted to the Conference. . •
In the afternoon, the Church was well filled with
spectators—people of all classes crowded upon the
bar and in the galleries, in expectation of hearing
masterly speeches on the subject of the division of
the Church in 1844. We were present.for a sliort
time only. The speakers were animated, and exhii
bited great warmth. We could not procure a copy
of the Report of the Committee, which presented
the subjects for consideration, and will refer those of
our readers- who feel peculiarly interested in the
matter, to the Daily Advocate, which gives the offt
cial proceedings. •
Annivr.o.— Mr. Glidden, the celebrated Lecturer
013 Egyptian Antiquities, arrived in this city yester
day. We understabd he intends to deliver a coulee
of Leciilres during his stay. Be was very successful
in the South and West.
SS - Netter since the PittsburghTheatre wasboilt was
it so crowded as it was on Tuesday everting, on the
occasion of Forrest appearanCe aa Jac% Cade. Going
in rather late, we found - it impossible to get even a
peep—down stairs or up—and so we left. Hundreds
left for the same reason. Would it be asking - too
much to request that that piece be repeated. It
would again attract' large audience.
far The Presbyterian General Assembly, Wort in
session in Baltimore, appointed Professor Magilh of
Allegheny city, as Moderator.
We learn from the Advocate, that-Pittsburgh has
been designated as the place for the bolding of thi
neit session of General Assembly.
EAGLt SaLoon.—By reference to a card, it will
be seen that Mr. Bryan, late of the Telegraph, has
an interest in this old favorite establishment, and
will hold himself in readiness to wait upon his
friends. The ice cream made this aeaSon ie unsur
passable.

some time blind, has been restored to sight, by the

in en exchange paper, copied from the Detroit Ad.
THE * CENTROSITY or A Pr amnion ' lElOllllOl^
We have been shown the following letter, addressed
to one of our citizens, from Thomaslowe,Esq.,
of Pittsburgh, which discloses such an enlarged and
disinterested liberality, that we cannot refrain from
publishing it, althOugh the writer undoubtedly in
tended it as a private communication. We are in
formed that Mr. Howe is a man of unbounded kind
ness or heart, and is warmly esteemed by all who
know him, not only for his native generosity, but also
for the many other virtues which adorn his eharac
ter. In the name of our city, we tender him the
thanks that he has so honorably secured to himself,
and trust that he may feel himself somewhat ann
pensated by the assurance that his contribution 'will
be faithfully appropriated to the relief ofdle nsuter
ous distressed and sorrowful sufferers from our late
disastrous fire. We need hardly add that this act of
kindness will be especially appreciated as coming
rrom - a city so recently visited by a similar &Svelte
tion, and therefore, possessed of a fellow reeling for
us under our late'affliction.- If we mistake not, the
Iron City, in the days of her calamity, was remem
