THE GAZETTE. “ He wriggles in and wriggles out, Leaving ms readers *llll in donbt, Whether the snake that makes the ua< k Is going South or coming back.” Yesterday’s Gasdtt contains one of those ex traordinary articles which no man but Deacon Whits could give birth to. To use the express- ive and appropriate language of the Journal , it is “rao Scott rao Fillmobs,” all over. Had we room, we would certainly publish, the article in full, eo that our readers could see what a pliant creature the Deacon really is. After puffing Gen. Scott in the most nauseating manner, the Deacon says: The Post will meet with just as little success in its efforts to create an impression that there is a quarrel between the friends of General Scott and those of the Administration. Thcro is nothing no« cessarilT anttgonistical in their position. The friends of Gen. Scott are generally warm friends and aupportera of the administration, as the Whig administration, as that administration. They ad mire Mr: Fillmore for hiß many atorhng qualities, for hia noble patriottsm, and for his able statesman «hip, and they will rally as one man for his defenco i andthat of his cabinet, all of whom are Whig* of worth, and many of them of renown.” We venture to say that mere is not a single Whig in Pittsburgh who can peruse this extract without laughing at the cool assurance of the man who could write such ridiculous stuff. The col« umns of the Qateltt, Journal, and jlmtncan, dU' ring the past ten days, will famish abundant evi dence that«there is a quarrel between the friends of Gen Scott and those of the Administration/ 1 *nd a very bitter quarrel, at that. The editor of the Gazette one day professes to have a high regard for the Constitution and Laws of the country, and the next he will publish the most treasonable sentiments imaginable. In his paper of yesterday he spreads before his readers the letter of the fanatic Sswabb, addressed to an Abolition meeting in Boston, which the most re* spectable Whig papers in the country are nouncmg as a pernicious and fanatical epistle.— The Baltimore Patriot, of the 14th inst., one of the most hign-toned and conservative Whig papers I in the Union, thus speaks of Seward’s abolition I treason, which finds so conspicuous a place in the I Gazdte: ] LsartEn mom SssAToa Sewabd,—Among ibe I letter* which were addressed 4 few days ego to a I meeting in Boston, called for the purpose of taking I adepsto bring about a repeal of tbo Fugitive Slave Law, wav one from Gov. W. H. Seward, of Now I York. Wo have no room far this document, end if we bad, we do not think we would publish it. We I hold it to bo one.of the plainest and most impera-1 tive of the duties which our station devolves upon I us, to refrain from giving currency to those produc tions of fsnaticiem or uohsllowed ambition, which ere calculated, and, perhaps, intended, to provoke end Increase irritation between the two great sec-1 tions of the country. * ■ * It is impossible for 1 a man of any penetration to read one of his lettors without perceiving'the latent purpose towards which ell his efforts tend—without detecting, in spite of every Pharisaical profession, the icy selfishness which has suggested every lino. In the letter before us, these characteristics are strikingly displayed. It would be difficult for any man, however bent npon mischief, to frame a more artful, more specious, or more pernicious appeal to the spirit of disloyalty to the government of the Union. It is only necessary for ua to add that the Sew ard Abolitionists are the enthusiastic supporters of Gen. Scott for the Presidency.

Wonder if these New Jersey clergy*. men. would not decline going to Heaven, if they; thought that there were any Odd Fellows in that abode of the good, the pare, the virtuous end the charitable. Egy The Rev. Mr. Maoshall yesterday called at this office to request us to say that he did not sign the call for tho Scott meeting, nor authorize any person to sign it for him. There is still another clergyman’s name to the call, placed there no doubt 1 withont any authority, ; Now, we .would ask,, who committed theso wholesale forgeries t The editor of thb Journal can expose tho whole trick, if he would.

The highest degree of fineness was 902 1000, and the lowest 866 1000, a gradation of 36 1000; and the smallest loss in melting is 2 MOy cent, and the greatest 12 1-15, a difference of 10 1-5.

Money in Boston is active, but the carrent rates of street interest have not varied essentially for eov» era! days. Copper stocks are rising in Boston.

The banks are confining themselves more closely than usual to their legitimate business, and the large offerings enable them to reinvest their heavy receipts in most unexceptionable business pa per, There is more doing in the street, and the rates paid have attracted more capital thither.

The “Free Banking Law’* was killed in the House at the close of tho session of the Legislature. The cxcitomentin Boston has ended, remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, aa every rational minded man could deaire, in the vindication of the law. The man Sima was proved to be a fugitive, and to those who regard the authority of the low, there woe but one course to pursue—tohand him over to his claim* ant. This waa done, and notwithstanding that the agitators of disunion threatened to “interpose their bodies” to prevent tho surrender of the slave, they prudently kept at a distance when the law came to be executed. This la generally the way that all counsellors of sedition act. They are valiant enough l n speech, hut when their fierce declamation stirs up rebellion, they manage to sneak out ortho contest ' themselves, and ilia fortunate if their dupos are equally as successful in escaping the consequences of their treason. In thiß particular instance, the good sense of the people of Massachusetts was proof, against such bad counsel, and tho handful of agita tors who exhorted to violence and blood.shed, and wished to see their own townsmen slaughtering each other, found themselves left in a minority, i which, while it exposes tho insignificancy of their numbers compared with their noise, shows most honorably for the intelligence and patriotism ol tho people. _ $1,803,106 13 $1,322,183 03 Feb.

We believe General Scott claims to have been one of the originators of Nativ tsm, which rone ao mad as in this instance, as to ob* joct to the interment of a distinguished warrior of the Revolution in our country. The Philadelphia Lodger retorts as follows to this scoffer at one of the most il lustrious of our nation’s heroes : Paul Jobes.—Speaking of this celcbratod individ ual whoso remains are at last to be brought from France, where ho died, to this country, in the U.S. Frigate St. Lawrence, ono of our city papers says . “ Such was the life and character of the foreigner , to whom high honors aro to be paid, at tbo caponso ot tho nation.” Paul Jones was the soul—the chiv alrous soul of the Amoncan Revolution on tho ocean; and yet, ho is attempted to bo stigmatized as a <‘lor» eigner I” What makes an Amoncan citizen T Wo leave tho Constitution to answer —aO foreigners in this country at the lime of the adoption oftho Amer ican (United States) Constitution, were held to bo Americans by birth, and eligible to the Prendential Chair > Ao well attempt to stigmatize Lafayottc, I and a thousand others, because they were not born 1 in a country their mothers had never seen. When I will Americans learn the ’’A.B.C.” of thc.r Con* I emotion 1 SeonT Touted ro SEuanartEss.— lt is not cl ways prudent for ladies to don male att.rc, as the annexed, from tho Washington Republic, will show : A fow nights ago a young lady dressed herself in man’s clothes, for tho purpose of having a little in-, nocent fun by frightening tho two white female ocr vants in the houso. One of them had retired to rest, and was la a doze when the young lady, thus dis guised, entered the chamber and disturbed the occu pant, whoso screams startled the other servant, who, being down stairs, hastened up. Tho young (wo) man rushed to tbo door to keep her out ; bot supe rior strength prevailed, and ingress was effected.— This servant seized the supposed male, and, after a severe contest, threw a heavy candlestick at tho head of her antagonist, which did not, however, striko as intended; and she then ran, and did not stop until she reached the baioraent. Here oho fainted, and | remained insensible for nearly half an hour. The l wholohousehold woro now alarmed, there was much 1 41 noise and confusion and, to remove all fear, the young lady readily revealed herself, perceiving that her conduct waa noar loading to very aarious consequences. lafOETABT rnoai Hatti. —The Kingston Journal of the 4lh instant, received by the El Dorado, con. tains-the following:— ” Tbo Haytien schooner Rosontie, Captain John bar, which arrived yesterday, in three days from Jeremie, reports that, about fifteen days ago, Juan Baptiste Frances, the Minister of Justice, uoder lhe Emperor Soulouqne, was, with seven other persons of high standing—all of them black —publicly shot near Port au -Prince, by order of the Emperor.

Itisclaimod that by this new procoss, all metallic combinations in the preparation of rubber are dispensed with, while yet the entire strength and ductility of the gum is retained, and the fabric, unlike that made by any other known process or previous invention, effect ually resists the changing offccl of constant expo sures to tho air and weather, being in fact almost in destructible. Fall ov Watchhi Lake Ebie.— Tho Toledo Blade states that tho Lake is gradually falling to its minimnm level—an ovent that occurs, it thinks, eve ry twelve or fourteen years. Tho stage of water in the river at Toledo is considerably lower now than it has been in any previous year since 1837, when the water in the bay waa barely sufficient to float the larger class of steam vessels afloat at that time.

I The General Appropriation Bill hae once fallen in [ conference committee, but has been immediately taken up and passed a second tunc, in such shape oa to be acceptable to all. The load which the Gov* ornor placed upon this bill, in the shape of Re ie Votes, sunk it justly beyond salvation. But the Democratic party has saved tho interest of the Com monwealth. The bill baa passed both branches the second , time, and tho million scheme is defeated. The De mocratic portion of the committee of conference in the Hoasc deserve great credit for their stern oppo oiUod to this scheme of Whig deception, infamy and plunder, attempted to be perpetrated upon t e people.
