Hr. Gougb f * Lectures on Temperance*
•The desirp to hear Mr. Gotran lecture on Tern*
; perance increases the longer he remains in Pitts*
burgh. He is greeted each night with densely
crowded aadiences. W£ have never listened to a
speaker who was gifted with 60 fertile an lmogi*
... cation. He is a natural orator ; and added to this
- he possesses, in a wonderfal degree, the power of
reaching the hearts of his audience, and of making
v them feel the force of his remarks. He can melt
an audience to tears or convulse them with laugh
ter the same moment. His powers of imitation
and mimicry are extraordinary. He never wea*
nes his audience, and bis discourses, (which are
... generally about two hours in length,) eeem to
have occupied but half an hoar in the delivery
We are really rejoiced to find that Mr, Gough
s ia doing much good in Pittsburgh. Through his
effortß about three thousand have signed the
Pledge. Amongst these are many young men
who had been habitual drinkers They have
“ thrown the bowl aside/’and have resolved hence*
forth to be soldiers in the great Temperance
army.; We earnestly hope that they will have
the moral courage to live up to their resolution
Their friends should encourage them as much as
.possible, so that they will not depart from the
• good cause they have espoused.
An effort is being made, we understand, to
induce the Whig Editors of this City to sign the
pledge dnnng the stay of Mr. Gouon. We do
hope that it will be successful. We have learned
that Mr. Biddu, of the Journal, placed his name
. .'.an: Mr. Gouon’s book; but then again tve have.
. heard it contradicted. How is this"? Mr. Bibdle
of the Jbnmcan, we are told, baa in bis cellar
- a very large stock of choice old whiskey, which
. he. tastes occasionally, to see that it don't spoil.
Come, Biddle, sign the pledge I Our venerable
friends of the ".Old Gazette" should ceaee dabbling
in “Dabney” wine, and show a good example for
their political brethren on Third street. There is
Tortro of the Transcript, who looks like a teeto.
taler, but we wouldn t trust him if temptation
was placed in his way. He had better sign the
pledge, also. As for the Editors of the neutral
pie»3, Binn and Dnsir of tne Chronidt, and Fob*
teh of the Dapatch, we believe they never cause
their friends to blush on account of their irregular
: conduct. They may occasionally “take a drop"
at median*, that’s all I We presume the Editors
of the religious newspapers are all temperance
men—at least we have never heard any thing of a
contrary character imputed to them; although we
most aay that they sometimes are a little intern*
perate in their use of language when engaged in
. controversies with each other. As for ourself,
we pretend not to be perfect by any means; but
tor mm to be “ temperate In all things,” in eating,
drinking, sleeping, writing and talking. If we do
wrong at any time, or deviate from the path of
rectitude, we shall esteem it as a great favor if
any of our friends .will advise us thereof, and
“ point ont the way we sbonld go ”

Our readers may faavo observed in reading onr ro
view of the Money Market, that there bos been a
decline in Telegraph stock. Upon enquiring the
cause oi this, we learn that it bas been on account
of the enormoua tolls charged for transmitting mes
sages over tho line*«~making it impossible for the
public generally to avail themselves of this kind of
communication. Every argument that can bo offered
in favor of. cheap postage, may bo adduced in favor
of cheap telegraphing. It would certainly bo more
profitablo to tbo Company to send 100 messages at
15 conta each, than 10 messages at 60 cents each.
When the numerous Railroads to this City, now
undor contract, aro completed, we shall receive
Philadelphia and Washington City papers on tbo
same day they are printed. Tbos the principal rea
son for employing the Telegraph will be obviated.
In fact, unless there is a great reduction of tolfa be
fore a year tho Telegraph will be apt to go into* dis
use.
The Telegraph is a wonderful agent, but still it
must keep pace with tho spirit of the times. If tho
tolls aro reduced it will do business, but if not, not!

COHH K SI-0 ROEKCS 07 THE UOSHINB POST.]
The Senate to-day made a final disposition of
the Resolutions on the Tariff, by holding an -after
noon session from three to six o'clock. Mr. San
derson having concluded his speech, Mr. Muhlen-
berg opened in reply, and occupied something
more than an hour, in which he saidthat he;did|
not design to make a tariff 1 speech, but merely to I
reply to the gentleman from Bradford,—that he I
should lay it down as an axiom in bis argument
that there was a great deal of distress m Penn-I
sylvanm, in many of her great interests, and that |
it was. the duty of all Pennsylvanians to look im-1
mediately to the remedy for. those evils, and sen-1
deavor, as Democrats, to remove them—that 'the I
question of the tariff ought to be taken entirely I
from the arena of politics, and made a practical I
question without regard to party—that there was I
no longer any question of principle in it—that I
there had been a great struggle between the Whigs I
and Democrats in regard to the propriety of Pro- I
tection for Protection’s sake, and that it had long 1
ago been decided in favor of the- position of the I
Democratic, party, against the principle of the I
Whigs—Protection for the sake of Protection; — I
that he thought none, or few at least, of any pars 1
ty, at this day, contended for protection of that
nature, or for that purpose; certainly no Demo
crat. But he claimed that, now each section of I
the country was left to contend separately for
their own interests, and in the laying of dunes for
revenue, ought to secure such incidental pro
tection as would give adequate support to our great I
manufacturing interests that were brought mto i
competition with thr same intereats in Europe.
He delcnded the proposition of Mr. Strong in
Congress, and repelled the assault which be al
leged-Mr. Sanderson, the gentleman from Brad
ford, had mado on his democracy, as well as that
of himself. Mr. Muhlenberg was very severe, yet
very gentlemanly, in some comments upon a let
ter from Harrisburg, published io a paper con
ducted by Mr. Sanderson in Bradford county.—
Mr. Sanderson, however, disclaimed being the
author of the letter, and staled that his attention
had been for the first time drawn to it by the gen
tleman from Berks (Mr. Mablenberg,) in his
speech
Mr. Muhlenberg thought that some modification i
of the Tariff of 1846 could yet be made during
tbe present teuton of Congress ; and that he never
would submit to any course of proceeding, under
the name of principle, that would enable the
South to sell a large amount of Cotton because
tbe North would buy a large amount of the
manufactured products of England—tbat be would
always hold himself ready to defend America
against the arms and against the selfish policy of
that country, and consider bimteir as well and
folly justified in the one oa in the other.
Mr. Muhlenburg then advocated the resolutiona I
offered by him, in the Senate, and claimed tbat I
the principle contained m them was the ad vahrcm I
principle, and that the method of fixing the prices I
in certain cases, viz: by taking an average puce
in ten years, was perfectly just, inasmuch as it
would avoid tho imposition and inequality of pri
ces produced by forced markets and sheriff sates.
He held that the ad valorem principle was right in I
cases where the Value of articles varied, ns in
yards of doth, Ac., some being worth one dollar
and soma seven, eight or ten dollars per yard ; but
that m cases where tbe intrinsic value of the arti
cle did not vary, as in the case of tone of pig
iron, which are always of tbe same value, he
thought there was no wrong in departing from
that principle.
Mr. Mahtenburg then denied the charge of Mr,
Sanderson, that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
was retrograde on this subject, and claimed that
tbe old Democratic doctrine was still adhered to
in Pennsylvania, and tbat many of tha doctrines
claimed as Democratic at the present day were
nothing bnt Agrarianism and Socialism.
He claimed tbat England bad always pursued
the protective policy till she had become rich—
tbe richest nation in the world, and then she could
afford to throw down the ladder upon which she
had gained her elevation, and preach free trade,
because it had now become her interest to do so
All and all, Mr. Muhlenburg made an earnest,
an affecting and b powerful speech in favor of his
position!.

Mr. Walker followed, in a regular Whig argu
ment, in favor of protection, for the very sake of
its advantages, without regard to consequences.
Tbe voting on the various resolutions, by divi
sions, then commenced, and resulted (as every one
knew they would from the beginning) in tbe pare-
age of tbe Whig resolutions—all the regular
Whiga, and Mr. Myers and Mr. Frniley, voting
for It.
In the Housfe, Mr. Bonhom closed his eloquent
speech on the same subject, and tbe gentleman
irom Clarion (Mr. Laughlin) now holds the floor.
Mr. Rhey will speak in answer to Mr. Bonham

Tho Irftob Exiles*
’ The following extracts from a loiter written by a
gentloman residing in Tan Dieman’a Land, must bo
mtereeung tn tho families, friends, snd admirers of
the exiled IrUb leaders
In your fast you Inquired anxiously for Meaghor,
I must now tell you that wo are on tho most intimate
terms with all the exiles, We have met Meagher,
Martin, and Mitchol. The two latter are stationed
but a few minutes’ walk from Ibis. . As to Meagher,
wo wool twenty-five miles to see bun, to tho lakes,
the trysting-place, whore the throe districts meet;
but, after all, were disappointed. It seems hard of
tho government to confine each to one district after
thoy had given their parole not to escapo. Howev
er, they do not adhere strictly to the wiehos of the
government.
Soon after our excursion to tho lakes Meagher
viiiied Bothwell, with his friends Mitcbcl and Mar
tin, We than made his acquaintance. He hag been
getting a fino boat built, to beguile his time on tho
lakes, and he is about building a hermitage on ono
oftho islands, where bo purposes residing. Ho ask
ed Miss——, s friend of mine, to go up and christen
his boat, which is to be called Sporaoza, in compli
ment to tbe fair poetess; but as we ell agroed that
the weather is too cold for ladies to travel, we defer
red the christening till spring.
Smith O'Brien, who, you know, refused his parole,
is confined to Marls Island, but is now allowed
more liberty-than at first, having a horse to ride
abont the island, which is a beautiful one.
Mltcbel’s coumoiiance is very fine, has great va
riety of expression; ho has the stamp of a leader.
His health is much improved by tho climate.
Martin is a great favorito with us all—,ho is en
kind, frank, humble, and honest—his health is also
good, They are on most friendly terms with all the
neighborhood. Three days never pass that we don’t
bcb some ofthem. A few days since wo had a great
langh at them: they got tired of their lodgings, (any
thing but comfortable) took a collage, and kept
house three dayß exactly. The first evoning they
came and poured out their household grlers at our
fireside; tho next they went to our friends the
——■ ; the third, Mr. Mitchel declared ho could
aland it no longer, and returned bag and baggage to
biß former housekeeper, declaring that nohouae
conld bo kept witout a woman.
A subsequent letter contradicts tbe report of Mr.
O’Brien’s attempted escape, for which, the writer
says, there is not the least ground.

. The: : fie ports of the Chief Engineer,- iSdgar
Thomson, Esq., anckoftbo late Superintendent of
Transportation, Herman Baupt, Esq*, now General
Superintendent, exhibit in detail the operations of
the departments, With the management of which
these gentlemen: are respectively charged, had va** j
rioQB other matters of more or lessinteresttothe
Stockholders,
The Eastern division of the Road has been com
pleted to the: Tyrone. Forges in ”fl manner entirely
satisfactory to the Board, and will not,in their esti
mation, suffer by contrast with any oilier railroad in
the country, Between that point and the Altona,
where the work upon the light sections was delayed
some four months forwant of means, its condition,
is by no means satisfactory; measures,will be taken
in the conrse of the ensuing'season..to:have this
portion of the work and . the HoHidsysbarg branch
brought up to the high standard, which a proper re
i gard for the public opinion and the interest of; the
Stockholders has prescribed. >'
Upon the Western division the work thus far has
been well done, and has been executed as rapidly,
except in a few sections, as was deemed consistent
with durability. The unhappy , feuds among the
laborers, resulting, in some cases; in Jobs of life,
have been a source of delay and inconvenience ;
but it is believed that a rccurroDce of the discredit
table scenes will be prevented by the admirable
police arrangements made, under the sanction ol
the Board, by Edward Miller, Esqv, the associate
EogineeriQ charge of that lf, howeyer,
this expectation should not bo realized, a firm local
judiciary and a reliable military force arc ready to
assert the supremacy of the law promptly and
effectively.
The Board have contracted, upon favorable terms,
for a sufficient quantity of iron for the~aapen»tfac%
tore-of the Western Division.' While an honest
State pride is gratified in adverting, to» the fact that:
the road isthns far constructed exclusively of Penn
sylvania material, the Board have no hesitation in
expressing their full conviction that the difference
in price will be more than counterbalanced by the
superiority of our rails over the best of those.re
cently imported for other roads. The contractors,
as an evidence of their own confidence, bind therav
selves to replace, without charge, all rails which
shall give way within five years, from an original
defect.
The Eastern Division of the road was opened for
, use to the Portage intersection, one tnile west of
HoHidayoburg, on the 17th. of Sept, last, too hip to
secure to the Company the full benefit of tho faU,
trade and travel, and the Portage Railroad was
closed for repairs, bjr order of the Canal Commis
sioners, on 4he 7th ofDccoraber.
During tbe months of October, November nod De
cember, the netl receipts for passengers aod frolght
were 642,084 84; equal to an annual interest: of
$3,821 00 per cent, upon the cost of this division,
iuclnding the Hollidaysburg branch, with the inter*
est thereon chargeable to construction, and of all tbe
cars, locomotives, pjachTncry add fixtures in ose.
This result induces :the Board to believe that the
road will, during the current year, earn ait per cent,
upon the cost of whatever ponton of it may be
brought into operation,aq&ihalH will henceforward
yield an equal orlsrgerper centage npon tho whole
outlay, productive and unproductive, after, making
proper provision for depreciation, by the creation of
aa smple contingent and renewal fund.
The local tr3dn and travelincreaso so steadily-as
to leave little room for doubt that ibey will, la a
few years, be adequate to the support of the road
and the payment of the interest upon its cost. Even
now tbe receipts at stations which bad no name when
tho road wot located, exceed those at some ot: the
largest towns on the Juniata. V,
A branch road is in course of construction to Blairs
▼Me, with means provided for that purpose by 4he
citizent of that borough, and its extension by local
efforts toihefpwo’of tadhsca, or the substitution of
a plank road, will depend upon the results of the
surveys now In progress. Tho plank roads from'.
Bedford to Hollidaysburg, and from ,Somerset to
Johostowo, with Dumberlcsv kindred improvements
under construction orin contemplation, will aid in
swelling the receipts of the mother work, to which
they owe their existence, and in developing the dor
mant wealth ofPennsyfvania. .
All other things being equal, the geographical po
sition of Philadelphia will secure to her n virtual
monopoly of the trade of the West against all rival
ship. That trade is, however, too tempting a prize
to be permitted to; remain to any hands but. those
which are as prompt to defend as they are able to
hold it. Wo must look the fact in the face that it
is lost, in part at least to Philadelphia, if further’dc
lay be suffered in tho construction of tho Mbuntain
division of the. Pennsylvania Railroads
Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is now under
contract throughout its entire length; from Cumber*
land westward 5,000 men aria at work upon it. 22,-
000 tons ofrails have been imported for it,and the
eoergy and sagacity which maTk its management
permit no doubt that it will be prosecuted with the
utmost vigor till it reachestheObio river. The Erie
Railroad, hithertodriven forward, with very little re
gard to cost, must be completed to Bake Erie in
May next, in compliance with thecondition upon
which $3,000,000' of State, and's76o,ooo of private
stock were relinquished to the present stockholders.
To compete with these unbroken lines from iiho
seaboard to the western waters, managed, as they
will be by the ablest merchants of our sister cities,
Philadelphia will have the eastern and vycsterndii*
visions of the PenhajlvanUr road: connected by a
link of 36 miles, embracing ten inclined planes, :tbe
crossing of which has heretofore generally consumed
sufficient time to make the trip*between PhiladeN
phia and Pittsburgh, upon a.first clasa Railroad, and
the uso of which will entirely cut off! from this com-*
pany one of Us largest prospective sources of rev
enue, the transporiaifonof Hve ; stock ftbm. points
west of the Allegh&pyio the eastern grazing coon*
tles\of Pennsylvaum>and to the Philadelphia and
New York - . j
It is suggested by the Chief Engineer, that the sum
of $1,500,000 wit! suffice to build a road from AN
tona to the head ofplonc No. 2, by which the wdrst
portions of the Allegheny portagfcroad wouldlbe
avoided, and. tho time-ooasutritm> in crossing the
mountains materially vedaced. r : - V ‘
.Asa last alternative, this proposition might lie
adopted, but whil&the proposed connection, would*
bo, in many points of view, a decided improvement
over the one now in use, it would fall very far short
of accomplishing th&primary purpose lor which this
undertaking was projected, of enduring tp the Cara*
moau’caUK ond its-two great: cities Ure benefits Sc*
cruicg from'the dfthe tride and travel of
the west, by iQrnitJyng aroaieiwMch should- in rail
respects compare favorably with ;tbe beat of ita -ri
vals. That object can never be attained; while any
link, however small, shall rdmaln tinder the ever
varying management incident to theinpessant .chan
ges of state and local politics..: - : •
With a view to procure :thatresult at the eatiiest
possible day, and to>prqraote,aUheaame time, what
they conceive to be the true ihterests.of the present
Stockholders, tho Board earnestly recommend that
immediate provision be mode for putting the .moun
tain division under contract at as earlya period of
the ensuing Springhs the character of the ground
will permit. To build this portion of the road, and
partially equip the Whole, will reqairu tlte fillingmp
of the capital stock of tbe company, to thelimit fixed
by tho recent action of the Stockholders, under the
authority conferred 1 in the charter. The" araobni
subscribed to thia daie'ls 516,835i860, which;yvi Jl. bo
iocreased more than-,5100,000 by the issue of stock,
deliverable upon tho completion of a portion, of the
contracts upon the Western division j- loaving to be
supplied a sum slightly exceeding Three Millions of
Dollars. }
.lit asking at this time for this large addilionalsub .
scription, the Board-are aware that they- are driv
ing freely upon resources already heavily taxed; J>ut
they do not, on thai account, ‘hesitate to make the
appeal. Tbey make-it ih the confident belief that
tbeaum they ask will, through the ioßtrumenisfitjr of
this road; be retarded ten-fold to? Philadelphia and
her citizens before the present generation abaJi hpye
passed away, and that their demand will elicit a! ijee-i
ponse worthy alike iof tho 'source from which it! is
to emanate, and of* the object to which it. is. to] be:
applied. , yr-'.i . -•/ r \
If we could forgct what is due to ourselves; weare'
not at liberty to overlook our obligations to others'
who have united their fortunes with ours in a com;;
mon destiny, and Taithfuliy fnlblledtheir part of the
implied contract. The extraordinary energy with
which the Ohio end Pennsylvania Railroad has been
driven Vwestward, has concentrated upon that im
provement many smaller ones, •originally projected
with a view to different connectiohaj aiid Jtrtated.

others destined 10 add largely to ita roveeuea, and
tothoße of the Pennsylvania Railroad.. From the
present yearforward that road and its coumless trib
utaries will pour upon the western terminus of ours
an immense amount of tonnage; to find its way slow*
iy, and'-at a comparatively heavy cost, over a broken
line, ull-the completion ofour.entire road shall open
an outlet for this and other roads whoso moat ivaiU

view to present profit as to the. promotion of what
they believe to be true interests of this Company, and :
oftho mercantile-community; with which it.ls so in*

The Board are gratified to have it ip their power
to state that they are sustained ib 'the-adoption of
this sy9tem : by the concurrence of the intelligent
gentlemen Who now compose this Canal Board, and
that they are assured of their cordialco-operation in
fixing it os thoseitle'd policy whtcb shall hereafter

At the close ol a long and interesting letter from
Paris to the Courier dea Etats Uois, written by fts
former editor, Mr* GalUardet, are the following opin*
ions in relorcncc to tho French Presideot :
A majority, of the people are eyldeniry on-the side
of Louis Napoleon in the present crisis, because
they. have.faith in .his loyalty; and believe that he
takes no pleasuro in idlequarrels* ; The President,
of the Republic is not depondcni on the Assembly,
except when.he asks for a donation contrary to
the simplicity of republican government; or aspires
to.uutbority which is prohibited by ihe ConstUu*
lion. •. a ..
On-Iho day in .which he renounces. useless luxury ’,
and uncoostQtioual hopes, he will recover in libera
ty, popularity; and dignity, whathe loses in pomp
and ephemeral authority. In the duel in which ho
is engaged with the Assembly, the victory will be
on the side of the one who shall remain on just'
grounds
- It may be said this is a rmrow ground, and that
the Constitution has surrounded 'it with roofs and’
quicksands, which is true. But just as no tool is
good for a sorry workman, so there is no too) so bad
that a good workman cannot make use of it.* InSti
tuUons.tdp often take theplace of men in the prison*
er’s bench of human affairs.
.dßsTßctnripnsiNTUs Misstssiper.—The Louisville
Journal estimates the spigs between Cairo and New
Orleans to amount to at least 600. The number of
steamboats passing daily by the river is stated at fif
teen or twenty, and the value of their cargoes and
hulls aa avenging $40,000 each, making an aggre
gate of 8600,OQOjtb $300,000. The crews and pas*
sengers would number a thousand souls.; Hence
the danger from these suags involves the Uvea of one
thousand persons daily, and property to the amount
of more than half a million of dollars.
