the press in hissing public sentiment, should never
be 'withheld from . the side of modest merit, which
„
toooften has no other means th rough which to gain

and its extent is always magnified ;;but when there
aro -suspicions of injustice, the. public sympathies
are often aroused and arrayed on 'the side of the in
jured. Therefore it is always bestin speaking of a
meritorious artist, simply to speak the truth.
These.preliminary remarks are hardly called for,
in the shart notice which 'we intend to give of two
young painters of this city, whose f001:1111 we visited
a day or two ago; thr - both the gentlemen are not

of talent, IvetiltiVated taste, and most agreeable and
gentlemanly manners. That be is destined tosank
high as a painter no one can doubt who has . ' Seen
the works of his pencil.. Mr. M'Clurg, we believe,
bra native of this city. Possessing the advantages
of wealthy and influential connexions, he Walf,ens
bled to visit the Old World, and fromStrlialla'ries
of Dusseldorf, Florence, and Rome to study the
styles of tbe.great masters , of his art, and to become
an enthusiast in his profession. He is now engaged
ou afelllength'portrait of Henry Clay, which was
ordered by the "Young Whigs" of this city, and for
which they have agreed to pay him viz hundred dol
lars. As far as we ate -capable of judging, from our
recollection. of the Sage of Ashland, it will be,
when finished, not only an admirable work of art,
but the "counterfeit presentment " of a Statesman
who will long live in the memory of the American
people.
WALL, the self-made artist, whose untutored pen.
cii throws en inexpressible charm over all that is
beautiful in nature, now demands a notice. We
wish we corildgire him such an one as would bring
him that patronage which be ii entitled to from this
great community. But we fear that the love of the
almighty .tiollar is a passion *trotter in Pittsburgh
than the admiration of the fine arts. Let our weal
thy manufacturers, who have so much to say about
the protection of American industry, show that
they are sincere and not selfish in their patriotism,
by patronizing this Home Artist. He possesses in
duatry and genius; and if his industry was properly
encouraged, so that he might be enabled to develope
Ike high gifts which God has bestowed on him, it
would not belong before his works would be es
teemed as an boner t 8 the city. Cincinnati has a
world. wide reputation, associated as she is with the

those who are blersed with money gonad hay

arrive when they will not be sorry that they aided
this young Patuiburgber, whose talents the city 'will
one day be proud or. We heard recently of a weal
thy citizen ordering a landscape from Russell Smith,
at a costly price, who perhaps would hardly have
been prevailed upon to have visited Russell in his
room' on the corner of Fourth and Market streets
some year's ago—the painter, as is often the case,
was not hinthred in his own birth-place. Now, we
put it on record, that the time will come when men
of taste In this city will be seeking Wall's paintings,
and paiing for them at stermd-hand double as much
as they may now be bad for from the Artist.

It is evident that Fithilenry Warren, (who was

a great rascal. The Washington Union of the 10th

from the' Public recOrds of priaKeld„lldasa., where
he swindled his creditors, and applied for the bane-,
fit of the bankrupt law, hut was refused, because he
fraudulently concealed property. He then decamp
ed fol. die west; and squatted down in lowa, where
he took a conspicuous partin defeating the election
of two.democratic Senators in Congress. To effect
this purpose, he travelled some two hundred miles
to the residence of a democratic member of the Ler
islatore whom the whip wished to deprive of; hit
seat, for the purpose, Judas-like, of betraying him,
When the case came before the- legislature,
Warren ;more thiiit in a conversation with this indi

Finding, however, that this was not su ffi cient to de..
prit3 the member of hie seat, Warren subsequently
swore that Kinsman told hint he had resigned, .not:; , '
withstanding the Governor, Secretary of Steteirand
other officers testified that they had no knowledge
of such rissignatiob. Warren, however, gained hie
point. Kinsman was turned out, and the federal ;
majority postpononed the election. Last fall, this .
same Warren was the prime metier in the content

that the Huuse ihcluld go into' committee on the

and which was; that' foreign Vessels should not be
allowed to, take apart in the coasting trade, in the
limited manner leontemplated by the bill on its
first reading.
It was the opinion of the Chairman of Customs
that it would be prejudicial to the revenue to al
low either &Web or foreign vessels to coasting
with the foreign i trade, [this way the dispatcia read]
and be had therefore come to the determination to
abandon that part of the bill. Mr. Gladstonacon
