era,thi petit dreas, which showed a foot and ankle
that neither shoe nor stocking
,concealed, yet turn

the fairy forms of my attendants, and, wake when
I would, there they sat; for while one . or other
Watched, the rest slept around on the mate, the
,
. feather-fan was playing over me, and the active
hind eye inquired if there was a want, that it
might be instantly satisfied. Occupation they bad
-none, save to pass away time, end really they did
' it. merrily. The very kitten about the house,
- ,though a cheerful, lively Creature enough, was
quite eclipsed by their playful glee. Now they
danced, leaped-or sang; each hour was happy, and
at eve the fun was faster, the sports more lively, as
if envious of night, when they must lie down and
be quiet The -woods were explored for fresh
wreaths, and each claymore fragrant and brighter
hued.flowers decked their heads, every day was a
fay they toiled at pleasure, still were always
pleased.
...- We soon became great friends; and though the
'oldiady secretly I think, held me very cheap, as
despising her cookery, still she showed it only by
concocting worse mixtures; and when I yielded
up a wound to her especial heating, even she be•
came gracious and friendly.
-The lave ofiloweis among the natives amounts

to.get-a peculiar sortof blossom for their wreaths.
When•J. was better, many and .many were the
lifuogiag picnic walks we bad up glen and valley
_ in search of fresh and sweet jewels for the races or
wreaths they: loved, Then choosing out a deep
shade, they could sit and weave them.
"And the snowy orange. delver,
and the creeping lasmine bowers,
, From their swinging censers cant
Their riches, odors, and their last.
At times they sang or told some story, let out
•The tales of their neighbors, commented on foreign
habits, or, with fear and many looks behind, and
creeping closer together, told of old times and
. savage gods, and frightful vengence. This mode
of treatment effected a cure sooner than medicine
could have done;—and were convalescence to be
always as sweet, methinks I would be always
getting better, always recovering.
Of a morning my house was a levee, and weigh
ty were the discussions that passed. Every article
was examined, and yet nothing lost. Elekeke used
to say, "once Hanaka used to be a sad thief; his
heart was big for all he saw; but now—no." The
reason appeared to be the undefined dread of steal
log anything that had a written name upon it.—
This seemed a check on stealing more strict than
taboo-of old. Pictures were a vast fund of delight
and they would look at them most intensely, and
then exclaim, with a gesture of impatience, -Why
do not they go on* why do they all stay still?"—
The map used to give them greet offence. "Miti, •
very 'good that; but, soon the Bonilla will learn
to make a map; then he will pot England very
small, and Hawaii very large."
All their dates appeared uncertain, and seemed
• to -depend upon Some other event; for instance
,Zepa the landlady, was born when a coca-nut
tree that now shot up some sixty feet, was plant
ed; and Elekeke herself dated her birth from a
large pile of wood Hekaanoa bad made in Waikiki.
The levee over, there was the bathing; then
lounging about, the chief exertion being to evade
the sun, that shot his rays now here, now there
with fiery heat The physic, which a medical man
who attended me so liberally ordered, was always
a subject of contention, and was drained as a great
gift from me by various visitors.
I was fora long-while too ill to move. but di
rectly pain ceased, there was a calm sense of en-
JoyMent, a sense of the pleasure of mere existence
that Was delightlul. And thus passed day after
day, until the only pain left arose from the con
viction that it was sadly sinful thus to waste pre
cious life.
oi Oh, let him seize
Thrttmßlessare while he can! Theaeorching ray
Here pie.reeth not, impregnate with disease;
Tbdtiiet Us - length this:loitering pilgrim lay,
And - gaze; unfired. a the morn, the noon, the eve away."

Certainly it was u . delightful life—the hut sounds
low, Out it was neither low, dirty, nor small; a
—coolbreeze always nestled about it, fanning, pro.
tenting use. In front, about fifty yards off lay the
xlian r where the family—thanks to my example,
ior bathing is half prohibited—used to spend half
the dity.- There was a large slab orrock which
jutted
.riutiii , ..e.r,the stream; up this the three little
girls would run, keeping time to a noisy song, and
jumped in hand in hand to the tune; then emerging

PITTSBURGH:
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1849
Desperate . Undertaking.
The Philadelphia hews has thrown itself into the
arena as. the especial champion and defender of
General TAYLOR'S administration. We wish it much
joy In thia-unenviable business. Senator BArinzason
still has the cool effrontery to declare that the re
cent election in Pennsylvania was not a decision
against Tayiorism I We ca a scarcely take patience
to'reason with a man who is so purblind as not to tee
the clearest fact. In relation to the Tariff of 1846,
the New: asserts that " nine•tenths of the people of
the State aro opposed to that measure and in favo r
of more adequate protection to American industry
than it affords." lipvr, we again repeat that the
people of Pennsylvania are perfectly satisfied with
the " protection" afforded by the present tariff, and
so decided at (he polls. It is well known that the
Federal party made the repeal of the Tariff of 1846
an issue during the recent campaign. In all the
conventions and public meetings of that party, " re
peal" was the word.
The Federal Fires/ea too sounded the cry of " Re
peal." And no determined were the Federal Mo•
nopolists to overthrow the present escellent Revenue
system, that they even started newspapers, profes
sing to be governed by the glorious principles of de
mocracy,lo advocate their °ono:ions and abomina
ble heresies. The Democratic party of Pennsylvania
boldly met the issue presented by our opponents ;
and in State and country conventions, our friends
passed strong Lod decided resolutions, approving
of the tariff of 1846. How the editor of the News
cap construe the result of the election into evidence
that " nine-tenths of the people are in favor of tha t
measure," is mysterious! The troth is, the politi
cal pol icy of the administration oflestra K. Pour,
has been nobly vindicated by tho people of Penney!.
vania ; and a vole of censure has been passed upon
the present proscriptive, dishonest, weak and coo.
temptible administration. if the News don't like
the result, he must " grin and bear it !"
The Speakerehip..Dr. EleOlinteelt.
It is with much pleasure that we observe an arti
cle in the w Pittaburgh Morning Postw recommend
ing Doct. Jonas R. McClintock, of that counts, as
a suitable candidate for the Speakership of the next
House of Representatives; and we may here say that
the propriety of placing the Doctor in that position
suggested itself to us as Boon as we heard of his
election. Although not personally acquainted with
Dr. McClintock, we know him to be one of the most
intelligent and radical Democrats in Pennsylvania,
and the very feet of his election as a Representative
in the Legislature from Allegbeny County, where
the balance of the ticket was beaten about 1,000
votes, is conclusive evidence of his great personal
popularity. It is not often the case that the noble
phalanx of Allegheny Democrats are permitted to
oojoy the proud satisfaction of electing one of their
candidates; yet, when they do no, we think it is in-
cumbent upon their brethern of other portions of
tee State to congratulate them by every possible
complimentary recognition of their success. Here,
then, is a Eno opportunity for the display of this
kindly sod magnanimrua feeling, and we hope to
see it carried out by every Democratic member of
the House.
Besides we have reason to believe that foci. ML
Clintock is peculiarly qualified for the discharge o
the duties of Speaker. He is commanding in per .
aortal appearance, prompt in action, of quick per
ception, welt informed In regard to the rules of par.
liamentary usage., graceful in manners and noted
for decision of character. With such qualities he
could not fail to fill the Speaker's chair with ability
and credit, and with the honors of which we trust he
will be invested.— Washington Examiner.
Ma. GAMBLE
The Jersey Shore, Lycoming County, Republican
printed at the residence of the Democratic Canal
Commissioner elect, says of Mr. Gamble :
w As we remarked some time since, be will bring
to the discharge of the duties of the office, a tho
rough practical 'knowledge of the various works of
public improvement throughout the State, a vigo
rous mind and habits of industry, devoted to a coo
sciencious discharge of (be important and responsi
ble duties of the sta•Jon. He has no branch of the
party to serve, none to oppose ; he looks upon him
self as elected by the whole Democratic party. Mr.
Gamble is a firm, consistent Democrat ; and goes in
for keeping up a strict party organization—and we
assure our friend Harper, of the Pittsburgh Pail, that
no Guerrilla Democrat will receive any encourage
ment from him in the way of office. Oar friends
may rely upon it, that in Mr. G., they have the
right kind of material for a good and faithful officer',
This is clear and explicit, and must bo bigbly sa
tisfactory to the true democracy or the State, whose
votes placed Mr. GAMBLE in office. The Guerrillas
and Kickapoos, must stand aside, and make way for
honest and incorruptible Democrats, men who never
wore " Bockoye beads" around their necks, and
never sold themselves to the Federal monopolists
for thirty pieces of silver.
The Cetus Belli with Ettioala.
The London correspondent of the Tfbune in his
last letter, says . " The journals, with no exception
worth naming, proclaim that a clear casur befli will
'be established, if Russia lifts a finger against Tor•
key. The Times, hitherto Austro-Russian, heads
this new coalition of all good hearts against a tyran
ny which would make Europe into a scaffold, and
use the administrative power of nations as an instru
ment of private torture and vengeance in the hands
of tho most malicious of the ruling powers. Our
Mediterranean fleet is no doubt already bearing up
to the scene of dispute, and the government is ex
amining the capability of the seaports to afford an
effective manning to fresh ships of war. Private
sympathy too, is hurrying outward. This morning's
paper's contain a note from Mr. Crawshay, the great
iron master, in which he lays down 4'500 as the
nest-egg of a fund to be subscribed by private Eng
land towards the expenses of the Sultan in his pro
spective conflict."
The Next Speaker of the Room
The Democracy of Pittsburgh and Alleghenycoun
ty, have presented Dr. J. IL hticatsrrocic, as a can
didate for Speaker of the next House of Represen
tatives. The Doctor is represented as being a gen
tleman of very considerable abilities, and well qual
ified for the office. Ills triumphant election in such
a hot bed of whiggery as Allegheny county, certain
ly speaks volumes in his favor and it would be noth
ing more than paying a deserved compliment to the
sterling democracy of that county, for their gallant
conduct at the late election, to give them the choice
of Speaker.—Mountain Sent.

Oilia—iv;—Wnlearri_from
the Phildelphia =Ledger' that , a kit was - ie4en4Y
brought before a justice : of diiestei coiiiity,
-recover from tho - Chester toutity -Bank iiymerii,
.„.
ofsome of the notes which-the officersof the bank
allege to be a part of the bills stolen from Dr. Dar.
lington, Its President a year or two ago, while on
his way from Philadelphia to West
. ckiester. On
the hearing, the President of- the bank offered him
self as a witness, to prove knowledge on the part
of the plaintiffs, who are a respectable firm of bro.
kers in Philadelphia. of the tact of the bank's hav
ing repudiated all its outstanding old iisues, on
account of their:having been stolen. On this
showing, the 'justice intimating that he should
give judgment for the bank, the counsel for the
plaintiffs withdrew the suit. The Ledger says:
'The officers of the Chester County Bank, and
the justice, too, it seems, before whom the suit was
brought, hold to the opinion that it is only neces
sary, as a defence against claimants, to prove that
the bill for which payment is claimed was of the
number stolen, and that due notice having been
given of the fact, the claimant must prove that he
gave a valuable consideration for it, and that he
has taken it bona fide in the usual course of busi
ness, and with due caution. This may be law,
but we doubt it. In our opinion, it would be jus.
ter and more reasonable to put the onus probandi
on the bank. As regards the suit mentioned
abuve, we understand the notes on which payment
is claimed were received by the firm here from
their correspondents in the regular course of trade
at par, as can, it is said, br proven, and probably
will be on another hearing. They were not bought
up, as has been intimated, on speculation But it
is not of this particular suit that we have desired
to speak so much, as it has been to censure the
principle set up by the bank of choosing to con
eider all holders of its old issue dishonest, who
cannot prove they came honestly by them."
The Democracy of the Wheeling District have
nominated this gentleman as their candidate for
Congress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of the Hon. ALEX. NEWMAN. Col. Thompson is one
of the best Democrats in the Union—he is an elo
quent and powerful speaker, a chaste writer, and is
popular with the people. We have no doubt but
that he will be elected by a large majority—he cer
tainly will be, if the Democracy of Western Virginia
only do their duty.
Ship Building in the United States
One of tbe immediate advantages which the Uni
ted States will gain by the reciprocity between Eng
land and this country in the carrying trade, will be
the Impetus which it will give to the ship building.
Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Buffalo—in
fact, all of our cities and towns bordering on the
great lakes and rivers, will at once go into the busi
ness. In a short time, there will be as many ves
sels constructed at those places as there are on the
Atlantic coast at present, and the spectacle will fre
quently be presented of ships, barks and brigs, built
of materials from the forest within a mile of the ship
yards, and laden with western produce, clearing for
English ports direct, Thin has been the case to a
certain extent already, but a revolution is at hand
that will astonish the world by its results.—N. Y.
Herald.
Car Some of the finest vessels that carry the A.
merican flag on the ocean, have been built at Pitts-
burgh. This city possesses unequalled facilities for
conducting this branch of business. Tile U, S.
Steamship Allegheny, which was built of Iron by
our skilled workmen, is one of the most beautiful
and substantial vessels in the world.
AFFAIRS IR CANADA.-A dispatch from Montreal,
dated October 2d, says :
It has been finally decided that the scat of gov
ernment shall be changed from Montreal to Toron
to. This movement will advance the cause of an
nexation in the former place, while, for the time
being, it will undoubtedly retard it in Toronto.
Mr. L. M. Viger, the Receiver General of Canada,
has resigned his office. It is likewise reported that
Mr. Leslie, the Provisional Secretary, has done the
same thing.

Ad Valorem vs. qpeollle Duties—The Dlff-
The New Orleans Courier thus shows, in brief
the difference between the working of the demo.
cratic and whig tariff system:
The whigs seem to be determined on altering
the features of the revenue act of 1846. They find
fault in a special manner with the principle of col
lecting duties on imported goods in proportion to
their value, or as they are usually called, ad valo
rum. We cannot, for the life of us, perceive any
reason for annulling this mode of collecting the
revenue. It strikes us as the moat fair and equi-
table that can be devised, and infinitely preferable
to specific duties, or duties levied on good accor
ding to quantity, weight, or measures. In this
later way, a thousand cigars, that were purchased
in Havana for $lOO, pay no higher duty than ci-
gars that were bought at $lO a thousand. A cask
or claret that cost $2OO in Bordeaux, will be
charged with no more duty at the customhouse
than a cask that cost $l5 or $2O.
This plan is manifestly unjust. It favors the
rich roan, because his luxuries are taxed no higher
than the poor man's necessaries. Thus tea at $5
a pound, pays no more than tea at 50 cents—the
same thing of sugar, coffee, wines of all kinds, ci
gars. Cannel coal at two dollars a barrel pays no
more duty than the common quality used by bleck•
smiths.
Mr. R. J. Walker, in one of his reports to Con.
grass, puts the case of State-law, which should ex
act the same amount of taxation on a marble
palace that is exacted f.orn a poor man's dwelling
that was built for $2OO. Extravagant as this
supposed case may.seem, it is really in strict ac
cordance with the principle of specific duties.
The proceedings of the St. Louis Railroad Con
vention posses but little interest to the general read
er. On the 18th Judge TREAT, of Missouri, offered
the following resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That as an important means, as neces
sary and preliminary to the construction ofa great
trunk railroad to tke Pacific ocean in California, it
is the first duty of the American Congress, immedi
ately on its assembling together, to make provision
for the establishment of military posts from the west
ern confines of our western States to the Pacific
ocean. That thmie posts should be established nu
merously in all proper places, not far distant from
each other; and that civilized and productive settle.
meets should be encouraged around them by liberal
sales or grants of the public lands, and by extending
ample protection to the settlers.
Resolved, That the Congress of the United States
be memorialized to construct, or authorize the con
struction ofa national line of telegraph along the
route which may be determined upon by national
authority for the great railway to the Pacific—said
line of telegraph to be coustructed in connection
with the military posts named in the preceding res.
elution, and to be pushed to completion as early as
practicable.
Beir The Easton Argus understands that the
Whigs have sent for Thos. Butler King, being sp.
prehensive That he would not be at Washington on
the opening of Congress. One vote is of some coo.
sequence to Whiggery under this Administration.

Battle between tluv4loll:Breeils and Chip.pea4s."—
A battle was fought, we learn, a few dayssinqe at
Pecagomon Lake, about 120 miles north-eadt o
St. Paul, between a family of Half. Breeds neined
Le Praire, and the band of Chippewas
knowledge Shunia (Silver) as chief. The nuadber
of Half. Breeds was five—three men and two hors
—the strength of the Indians from ten to twelve.
The parties were divided by a small stream-:one
side of which is covered with timber, the other
side is prairie; the Half-Breeds being on the tirqber
side, had the advantage, put the Indians continued
the fight for about two or three hours. Th&ln.
diens lost one man killed, two mortally and three
or four slightly wounded. Their chief was bully
wounded while attempting to restore peace. SOch
an outbreak has long been expected, the Half.
Breeds being concerned in selling ardent spirits i to
the Indians. The Half• Breeds suffered no loss,
with the exception that one of the ears of Lois
Le Praire was taken off by a rifle hall.
Treaties with the Indians.—Governors Amoy
and Chambers have been in conference with he
Sioux at Mendota, near Fort Snelling, for several
days. The number of Indians in attendance ! is
about 3,000. We regret to learn that there isno
hope of effecting any thing like a general treaty
with them at present. They allege the season is
too far advanced for this, and some other reasons,
they decline entertaining any proposition of the
kind this season. The commissioners are to meet
the Half• Breeds at the same place, to treat with
them, if practicable, for a tract of land they own
on the west aide of the Mississippi, opposite Lake
Pepin, some 35 miles on the river, extending baqk
15 miles. They will also meet the Wapatee,
Wapokotee Sissetons, bands of the Sioux, to neer.-
tiate with them for the lands they own s It will
be recollected, by those not much acquainted with
Indian affairs, that every nation, united by a corn.
mon language, are divided into bands, each Claim.
ing separate interest in lands. It often happens,
however, that they unite in a general treaty.
hriprowenuitts at St. ..deithotsy —Between twenty

—The American Oil, having performed by its use sti,

The writer of this' was one of them. •There is some
'thint,terrible in the thoughts of imprisonment, even
when there is no disgrace attached to it ; but under
he peculiar circumstances our confinement in the
Jury roomtorms'an era in our career, to which we
will always look back with pleasurable emotions.—
Not that the result of our deliberations was by any
means satisfactory; but there was something so
grand itt the composition of the company,. such a
compound of accords and discords developing them
selves into a most heavenly unity ! But tel regrets
would hare bebitfelt had the Judge acted obstin
ately and re-ordered us to our room, there to remain
till we could agree. Nem of oar accommodations
were not of the best sort., Our sleeping apparatus
was decidedly in bad taste, bat we consoled our
selves by reading the letters of the California enti•
grants. The burden of others woes gave us relief.
To the constables, Dougherty and Quinn, we all re
main under lasting obligations. No time shall oblie
terate from the tablets of our memory their many
acts of kindness. But to Allen Brown, Esq.;*e are
under peculiar obligations. He visited us twice a
day. His baskets were well tilled with the tied his
house could afford which is saying a great deal
.for
our fare. One fault we found: His visits were too un
frequent. Three times a day would have suited bet
ter. But for this lack of attention we were compen
sated by the extra groceries which his ample pockets
supplied. Brown seems to appreciate the discovery
of the poet :
The turnpike road to people's hearts, I find,
Lies in their mouths, or I mistake mankind.
And, furthermore, the juro ra seemed to agree in a
verdict in favor of Brown, for
Dire was the clang of plates, of knife and fork
That merciless fell like tomahawks to work.
To those good fiends who occasionally greeted
us from the regions below, with smiles and some
times with words of comfort, we say, thank you.- To
Mr.M , Carter, for some blankets, a ball of twine,
and some groceries, and to Mr. Kennedhof the Ga
zette, for some groceries which the aforesaid twine
convoyed from the pavement to a window,. we say,
thank you.
breams= TR/ex.—Among the items of import.
ance which are have missed on account of our im
prisonment by Judge lawns, is the follewing, which
we take from the Journal of Saturday:
We understand that the jury in the case of the
heirs of West Elliott against John B. Warden and
John Alexander, came into the District Court of Al
legheny county yesterday morning, and delivered a
verdict in favor of one of the plaintiffs for the one
undivided fifth part of the town of Temperance:olle,
adjoining our city. This, for the amount involved,
is perhaps one of the most important cases ever
tried in this county, as we understand the property
was estimated to be worth over two hundred thous
and dollars. The plaintiff on whose part the recov
ery was, is Matilda Elliott, who heretofore used to
parade our streets under the name of 4 t Crazy 'TH.':
Wo learn she is now in the Hospital in Philadelphia.
If she ever recovers her right mind, the sum thus
gained for her will be some compensation for the
ills she has suffered. If not, her brother and sister,
who live here, will reap. the benefit of it. This
verdict covers only a part of the property sued for.

fendants, Loomis, Meicalf and Woods.
