Mr. Savartzwelt;er 9 ts Defeat-.. Again: • We have asserted, in the most positive' manner, that Mr: Swartzwe!dells nomination was defeated in `the Whig County Convention, solely because be vo ted for the ten hour law and an elective judiciary. Neither of the federal papers in this city ba denied the truth of our statement. On that subjeelthey re main as silent as • "Dumb statues and breathless stones." A “dignified Silence?? will be of no - avail with the whig editors and leaders. We shall continue to ex pose the hollow-hearted hypocricy of those who, by fraud'and trickery, have induced the workingmen in this community to support the Whig ticket.. We shall gicry aloud and spare not,” from this time un til the election. Had Mr. Swartzwelder consented to become the obedient tool of the monopolists and old honkers of whiggery, who congregate about Smysees Dreg Store, he would have been nominated without the slightest opposition being urged 'against him. He was too high-minded and independent; his opinions were too radical and progressive, to an swer the , purposes of those who, claim exclusive privileges from our Legislature& Hence his defeat was rewired upon, and consumated. Working Whigs what do you think of this con duct of the leaders in whom you have heretofore placed confidence? Will you again hearken unto the deceitful professions of such treacherous politi• Mans ? Will you again assist in placing men in power*, who will betray you t If you agaiii coalesce with that deceptive party, we can only say, in the language of Veiled Prophet— " Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are." A census has just been taken of the city of Char leston, South etrofina; from which it appears that the population of that ancient and hospitable city is on . the decrease. A census taken by the Municipal authorities, makes the entire population, white and black, - in 1848, 26,451—whites 14,187, free colored and slaves, 12,264, showing on a comparison with the United 'States census of 1849, a deficit of 2,810. The decrease in population, has been, however, with the free colored and slaves, which classes have decreased since 1840, 24, 44 per cent; the white population having regularly increased since that per iod in the ratio of 8, 87 per cent. But this is a very small increase compared with that r:.,;f most of our principal cities. 'ln 1810 Charleston ranked as the fifth city in the Union; in population; in 1830 she was the sixth. She is now the siiteenth. Cinclana. ti, Brooklyn, Albany, Louisville, Newark, Pittsburg, - St. Louis, BairaltOtochester, Lowell, and perhaps Washington, Providence and Troy having outstrip. ped her since 1830. Charleston must shake herself, put her wealth, (of which, she has an abundance,) and her enterprise into operation, and regain her for mer elevated position. The following is the ratio of increase in popula tion of seven cities in 30 Years: From 1810 to 1840 New York had increased 224 per cent; - Boston, 157 percent; Philadelphia, 137 percent; Baltimore, 220 percent; Charleston, 18 per cent; Savannah, 116 per cent, aid New Orleans, 590 per cent. To break the force of Mr. Is/PPAIID'S powerful and Innumerable exposition of Gen Taylor's duplicity, the Washington Whig and Louisville Journal, two of the moat unconvcionable papers in the country, as sert that he was an applicant for an appointment 'un der Gen. Taylor, but did not receive one. Now, Mr. L. stated most positively in his letter, that he was not an applicant for any office whatever, either for himself or his friends. The editors of the Wash ington Union are further authorized to assert-- 1. That Mr. Lippard never applied for any office at General Taylor's hands. 2. That he never endeavored in any manner t o influence Gen. Taylor in bestowing office or patron age otherwise than by merely signing petitions, un less his efforts in favor of the National Whig be an exception; and, 3. That he told Gen.Taylor t bore in Washington, that he wanted no office at his hands. After these positive declarations, we hope that every whig editor who so sets up the lean claims to truth or fairness, will not hereafter assert that Mr. Lippard is a disappointed office seeker.

Origin of the St. Louis Fire The St. Louis Daily Onion, of the sth lost, con tains the following depositions, taken before GEORGIE A. HYDE, Recorder of the city of St. Louis, in rela tion to the rest fire in St. Louis, Mo., during the 17th and 18th days of May, eighteen hundred and forty-nine. Ai a number of our citizens sustained a loss in consequence of that terrible calamity, we have no doubt but that these affadavits will be read by them with interest : Henry Fredericks states under oath : I live on the wharf at a boarding house kept by one Housmann— on last Thursday, about half past seven in the after noon, I left my boarding house and wont on board the steamer While Cloud, on which I was then em ployed as watchman and carpenter—when I got on board I met an Irishman raggedly dressed—l asked him his business there; 44 nothing said he, . 4 Dot only looking round.” I ordered him ashore, and he went ashore. I then walked aft on the lower deck to sec if he had done anything amiss, and found everything correct; then I lit my glass lantern—af ter this I sat down on the boiler deck before-the cabin, near the steps, and watched the stage plank to see if any body came on or off the boat—at about half past nine I heard a board fall as if it fell fiat, I then went down on the lower, and examined every part of the boat—l saw nothing amiss---1 went up on the boiler deck again, looked into the cabin, and then saw a large volume of smoke comiog in the 'di rection in which I was, from the ladies cabin—l ran through the hall door of the cabin out upon the lar board side of the ladies' cabin, and there I law the ladies' state rooms on fire, just on the same aide that it was set on fire, (as we supposed on, boartly) once before, last winter—l tried to extinguish the firo by throwing water; seeing that I could not do so with ,out assistance, I ran through the gentlemen's cabin and rang the bell—l saw no person on the boat ex cept the Irishman who was on board when I first came—this is all about what I observed on the boat in relation to its being fired. On the night of the fire, and whilst the boat was burning, Charles Blunt who is carpenter on the Marshall Ney, told me that he knew the White Cloud would be burned, that.he had known it for two or three days, and that he wished that be had the money that , was paid for set ting her on fire. Next morning he told me the same thing. I asked him who it was that set this boat on fire, he refused to tell me—he said that he was a friend of his, and friend to a man on the .Eudora, who told hint that the' While Cloud would be set on fire, and that he would not tell his name. Blunt, on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, left, on the Marshall Ney, as carpenter. I saw him before he left, and bid hini"good bye—he appeared to be in a great hurry to leave. HENRY FREDERICKS.

I am here, in the midst of the most devoted friends who have acted, and . ; will still act, as far as hu man means will allow; with the greatest honor and integrity "towards me, and towards every one, and who Are covering theselvea with eternal glory un der.the. rn most trying and painful - circumstances. .I fled Gen. Avezzana, minister of war, and Col. Nico la Fabrizzi on his staff. Gen. Parribaldi had just ar rived, and I called'on , him on Sunday, and Was re ceived in the warmest and most, ffectionate manner; aid while I Was with him, news arrived of the first skirmish with the French. Ho is a noble fellow, and bas already handled the French in lemma style.— Yesterday war the first day of real fighting, and a glorions day. It was quite a victory for the Italians, althoughyfor the most part, with little or no diecip line. Theytook from 300 to 360 prisoners,Mcluding a number" of officers, and killed or wounded 600 or 700; and this morning the'French are begging the English physicians and surgeons in Rome to assist them. '1 am neither able or desiromilto leave Rome for there is the greatest order and tranquility, coin• biped with the greatest "enthusiasm ; and, last night it was glorious to see the illumination in every street and alley, and the inhabitants walking about as though it were a tete, nearly all the men in unilbrm, and more or less armed.- Since I began, I have learned that the French lost 1,200 men, and have abandoned a great many oftheir deed and wounded, and retired, to a distance of twelve miles. They have sent to request medical aid, which the Roman government has immediately supplied, together with medicines and other requisites, and have re turned some prisoners as a present. So much for the "sanguinary and sacriligions Mazzini,” as some have called kim. You will learn by my letter the noble and mg nanimous behavior of theltomans, who have been belied and misrepresented as a parcel of anarqhists, brigands and cowards. The truth is I hive been seeking anarchy by night and by day.Ahrilit high streets, and I cannot find it. Igo out at ulttimes, and in all plaCes, with my watch, money and papers and I find the greatest honesty and civility; and as for their being cowards and running away at tbe first shot, I can assure you they have behaved themselves with the greatest bravery; and the French, who have been nearly all chosen from those well trained and accustomed to fighting in Africa, have run away with precipitancy and fear. Mazaini and Avezzana have to work terribly hard, but they look tolerably well and keep up their spir its, though they are prepared •to lose their heads at any moment. I was with them yesterday during two interviews—one with M. Isambert and other French diplomatists, wbo came under the auspice, of the Danish consul, to ask protection and a conveyance to leave the city, as all horses are in requisition for ; the army and i t was really amusing how they lec tured-on the immoral, barefaced, and ridiculous as pect of the French Diplomacy. -I went yesterday, with a note from illazzini, to see the Princess Belgi ojoso, at the Trinita di Pellegrinl, where she hi:Con stantly attending to the wounded, and I found with her Gen: Garibaldi. Rome, May 7, 1899. I wrote you on the Ist instant, and I have now to relate a most noble act, add such an interesting and touching scene as I have never witnessed or read of in history. About 10 o'clock this morning, there appeared on the walls a declaration from the trium virate that the Romans were determined to defend themselves, and there ought not, and could not, be a state of war between the two republics, and that the French soldiers ought not to be made responsible Tor the acts of a misguided government, and that the French prisoners should therefore go free, and they invited the people to meet at mid-day to give them a fraternal escort. I went up to the Consults, where General Avezzana,:the Minister of War and commander-in•chief, now holds his quarters. The French officers were soon introduced—l think twelve beside the drum major—and when the Warn- Orate and M. Bodaparte, the President of the As sembly, had arrived, Gen. Aver i zana salumd the French, and made a short address in their language. He expressed the pain it had occasioned him to take up arms against those whom he had expected would rather have assisted his fellow-countrymen in main taining their freedom, and his regret to see them bousfffi.by military honor and discipline to carry out the dictates of a policy which might very possibly bring , back events similar to those of 1816, and which was only in accordance with the French inva sion of Spain in 1823. Ho said hejiad en that OCI casion fought against them in OS' cause of free dom, and would still do so if they continued in that course, but ho hoped, although be did not wish to put any conditions whatever to them, that they would disabuse their fellow officers and countrymen as to the state of things and the sentiments of the people here. Maxxini then gave utterance to a few most forcible words. He said they hadi only taken up arms in self defence, and that they would—continue to defend themselves to the utmost ;_but he.would not allow that there did exist war between the two people, and there must continue one sentiment of fraternity and friendship, based upon their common interests. He regretted that they should have been detained ao long, for the very day after their capture, he made overtures to Gen. Oudinot for their release, in ex change for the batallion of Roman soldiers who bad been disarmed and made prisonersat Civita Vecchia, upon their arrival, without any hostilities or declar ation of war. Gen. Ondinot refneed to listen to terms, and continued his threats.. Finding, there fore, that military usage failed, he had recourse to civic power, and allowed them logo free without any pledge or obligation, except their own feelings of honorV It was delightful to witness the dignity and self possession, as well as lbe simplicity and intellectual benevolence of the man ; but you and I, who know and appreciate him no well, can easily understand it. 41. Bonaparte then addressed them: Re said he hoped they would no longer fight.againet the repub lic, reminding them of the saying of Napoleon, that Europe would either become republican or Cossack; and, as a Bonaparte, he asked them if they wished to become Cossack t The French hid their swords re turned to them, and were conducted into the town to a collation. ome of them expressed themselves with a good deal of feeling, and all were complet e ly crestfallen. Cen. Avezzana shook. hands with moat, and they were embraced' by many of the Ital ian officers. In a short time, Gen. Avezzana went with his staff to join them in the Corso, where the French soldiers were collected, and in friendly COO vereation with crowds of Romans, some of whom were offering them cigars, some giving bread, and others taking them to drink wine. It was delightful to see with what good will and alacrity the Romanitesponded to the generona and noble invitation of the government. The military band played tho Marsellaise, and then a Frenchman who has a good deal of elequenoo, and writes for some of the French papers, was requested by the officers to address the people from the balcony of the restaurant; and he thanked them in the most expreasive terms, lot the noble conduct shown to his fellow:countrymen, and he was received with most rapturous applause from the people,and the cries of Viva la Republique Romaine I" from the French soldiers in the street. The late prisoners were than conducted in procession, most of them arm in arm with Romans, to the gates of, the city; but as they passed by St. Peter's, they went In of their own ac cord, and, before the grind altar, knelt down and swore never to servo again against the Roman re public. Thus ended one of the most glorious days that Romo has ever known, Last' Monday she equalled her most palmy days of - bravery and patriotism, and to day she has surpassed-anything I ever read or heard of, by her noble bearing and generosity; and this at a time when she is still threatened by the French General, by an army of Neapolitans within a few miles of the city, by the Austrians, and, as is just_ announced, the landing °lsom° four thousand Span iards. You must out Auppoue this conduct dictated by anything approaching fear,'Or a desire to receive back the Pope as King, for it is quite Licensing to me to see and hear the jokes and laughter of the people as they read in groups, the announcement of the Spanish armada; and I think they are prepared to resist and crush 60,000 or 60,000 men, if they were to attack or ever to penetrate within the city. A FurssnLv ItscouicrrioN.—A coarse-looking fellow went up to an old gentleman, and holding out his hand, remarked with a smile —A My dear sir, I cannot tell yc u by name, but I am sure we have been together somewhere." "Wernayhave" said the old gentleman, "for I have been in some very bad company in ray 'day." The following is from a burial ground in Pro vidence, R. I. Her soul grew so fast within, It burst the outward shell of sin, And so was harrhed a cherubim. A gentleman addressing a lady whom he was partial to,r and who liad, several articles of his in her poesestion , said, "Madam, I shall present my bill to you shortly, for payment." "You will have to take it oat in billing," replied the lady. ~-< .< ~. ,--.:~tw .a?~, .vs: { w~'-x'~'"+ ~~,',,n:.s ..r _. cx.~ ° ' ~~r~ 4s-y-..,~ ~ T~.~~~:e .i;.i; MEM The Present .

The annual Report of the Register of the Tress ury for the yeatending Jane 30;1848, furniabeti - the following inteiestink and important facts 'We state them in the language of the Richmond" Enquirer " At that date the &manage the tbtillnited States wart 3,154,0441 'having increased in the preceding year 315,996:= The :Increase is - to be paaticularly marked - 1 since the abandonment of a high protective tariff in 1846. Thus, our shipping increased from froth 2,- 130,000 tons in . 1841, t 02,562,084 112'1846, and 3,- 154,064 in 1898. Within the two first years of the operation of the high tariff of .1828, it fell frorn 1 , - 741,000 to 1,194,000. The flourishing condition - of the carrying trade, under a' IoW tariff and indepen dent treasury, is one of the strongest proofs of na tional prosperity, and furnishes n-potent argument' why "well enough should be ret.alone." Commenting on the above, the Savannah Georgian well remarks, that it is indeed one among a host of potent arguments why the poli So:triumphantly applied by the Democratic party, during the last four years, should not be abandoned.

Casting :an eye over the entire Seld . of national policy—allowing to rest on all and each of these" measures, jointly and severally, which have consti tuted the great object of Republican legislation— looking to the fixation of the Tariff, the operation of the Sub-Treasury, the'adjustment ofOurforeign rela;. tions, is short -to every act and attainment of lldr; Polk's administration., where shall we 'discover the, point to which the same argument may not be ap plied—a, let well enough aloneP_ What have the Whip before', them to do?

So many love been their promises, so magnificent theirlichemes:of improvement, so pom pous their plans of retbrm k that they may not dare to fold their hands in silent acquiescence with the present condition of things, and 6, let well enough alone " This : would be tantamount to an admission that all the arguments presented by them to the peo ple in favoi ora Change of.rulers were idle. and ,fal lacious; that the government was_ as pure and as wise, and the people as prosperousand happy air human legislation could make them. ' For what then were they struggling r They are placed in,the posi tion of a party denouncing the idea of proscription in public officers for opinion's sake, and yet contera. ding after all for , nothing _else than the loaves and fishes which follow in the train of power, efecting no changes except bf removals from office, and no reforms unless it be a reform to oust a Democratic Collector, or Poet Master, and to substitute a Whig in his place. , The Protective System. Do prohibitory or high protective taxes on imports decrease exportations as well as importations. If so, what interest can it be to the farmers of the United States to hate the foreign demand for their wheat, corn, &c., decreased by the imposition of high duties on imports Can the people of any country long continue to buy the products of another, without they .can sell something to pay for them I What interest has a-mechanic in being taxed on all he eats and wears,-in order that the capitalist may receive a large profit on his investments in the' stock of large manufacturing establishments 1 What interest has the farmer in being taxed upon everything he consumes, for the benefit ofthe man. nfacturers, when the price of the products of his farm is regulated by the foreign demand ? - Does the manufacturer regulate the rate of wages which he pays his bands, by the amount of Profits he receives on his capital? Or does he pay the lowest rate at which labor can be obtained, without respect to his own profits? When the protective system was first introduced in this country, were not the consumers told it was for the purpose of en couraging our infant manufacturing establishments temporarily, and that it was not to be a system of permanent restriction and taittition Since then, has not the discovery of labor-saving machinery dispensed with a very large amount of manual labor in nearly all branches of manufactures, so as to render the question of protection one in volving the profits on capital between the capitalists of this country and the capitalists of other coun tries, much more than that of rivalry in manual la bor Ie it not admitted that many of our manufacturers, especially of cotton goods, can compete in the mar kets of the world with those of any other nation I If so, why do they want a continuation of protec tion I Is it that they may have the exclusive con• trot, and regulate the home market, while they can dispose of any surplus by sending it to foreign mar kets _Finally, is it the interest ofa country of such vast agricultural resources, where land is in, abundant, productive, and cheap, and where those engaged in agriculture are about SO per cent. of the whole pop, ulation, to encourage a system of restriction and taxation on imports, so as to decrease the cavorts of agricultural productions, and reduce their price I These are questions in our judgment, worthy of calm and deliberate investigation. The great mus of our people are deeply interested in having them properly understood, and we shall be pleased to have them intelligibly and satisfactorily answered. Keystone. The Proclamation or the Czar. The following is the Proclamation of the Czar It is a regular Bombastes affair: 4 By the grace of God, We, Nicholas. L, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Ruuias, &c., declare to the nation, having, by our manifesto of the 14th of March, 12348, informed 'our subjects of the miseries which afflicted Western Europe, we at the same time made known how we were ready to meet our ene mies wherever they might show themselves, and that we should, without sparing ourselves, in con junction indissoluble with our sacred Russia, defend the honor of the Russian name, and the invioliability of our frontiers. The commotions and rebellions of the west have not since then ceased. Guilty delusion, enticing the thoughtless crowd with visionary dreams of that prosperity whicbcan never be the fruit of wiffulness and obetinancy, has entered the east and the domin ions contigeous to us, subjects of the Turkish em pire, via, Moldavia and Wallachia. Only by the presents of our troops, together with those of Tur key, has order been restored and maintained; but in Hungary and Transylvania the efforts of the Austrian government, distracted already by another war with foreign and domestic enemies in Italy, have not yet been able to triumph over rebellion. On the contra ry, strengthening itself by hordes of our Polish traitors of 1831, and of others, foreigners, outcasts, runaways, and vagrants, the rebellion has developed itself there to a most threatening degree. sr In the midst of these unfortunate events the Em peror of Austria has addressed himselfto us with the wish for our assistance against our common one. mies. We shall not refuse him. Raving eall&I to the assistance of this righteous enterprise the Almighty Leader of Battles and Lord of Victories, we have commanded our armies to move forward for the extension of rebellion, and the destruction of audacioua and evil-intentioned men, who endeavor to disturb the peace ofour dominions also. Let God be with us, and who shall be againa vs t So—wo are convinced of it— so feels, so hopes, so aspires our God•preserved nation, every Russian, every true subject ofours, and Russia will fulfill her mission.
