CHARt.F-S HOTEL, oa Saturday, tie Gth instant, at Li o’clock, A. M. By orderof CEO P HAMILTON, *ep2 Chainnsn “MOUNT ARARAT." On Saturday last.we paid a visit to the beau tiful and romantic country residence of ear frit nd and neighbor, Mr. J. D. Williams, about half a mile East of Mmersville. In company with "Mr. W. we ascended the high hill immediately ad joining his premises on the East, and there bod the exquisite pleasure of enjoying one of the most delightful views we ever beheld. This bill is the highest in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and we believe it has been called “Mount Ara rat,” by some biblical scholars who have visited it, and the name is certainly not inappropriate. From this spot we had a glorious view of the country for about thirty miles around Pitts burgh. i Away towards the East, as far as the vision extends, a distance of- some 35 miles, may be seen Chestnut Ridge, slumbering on the horizon, with its blue peaks kissing the sky. Nearer, the hills of Turtle Creek rise boldly up to the view. 'Still nearer, may be seen the boroughs of Wiikins burgh and East Liberty, and the beautiful val ley in the midst of which the latter place is to cated* with, its rjcik fields, handsome villas and - lovely groves. Immediately below, when look ing in the same direction, may be seen the tr&olt of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, windirtg round-the hill liken serpent. A little to the left, the quiet village of Lawrenceville, the U. S. Arsenal, Duquesne Borough, Jit. Troy, Stews rts town, Sharpsburgh, the two Cemeteries, anf 1 the entire Allegheny valley, are spread out b efore the vi«w. In glancing over the many beautiful scenes in that direction, the eye is unablf: to se feet one more lovely than the rest on w) uch to least The whole, taken together, form a land scape of unsurpassed loveliness. Towards the North, across the Afleghr sny river, there is an uninterrupted, view for ms my miles, extending into the interior of Butler county. Towards the West and North West, there is a magnificent view of Allegheny city, Manchester, and the Ohio nver, for about four r ailes. It was between 5 and 6 o’clock in the a/ .ternoon when we were on “ Mt. Ararat,” and t ±s that is about the time a fire is kindled in near -\y every honse when preparing for supper, Vhe smoke which ascended from the thousands t jf ohimneys in Al legheny, gave to the place v . truly terrific ap jpear&nce—such an appearv jee, wo imagined, as Sodom and Gomorrah prey ented when the curse of the Almighty rested upon them for their transgressions! But w must not bo understood as wishing to compare the people of Allegheny to the inhabitants of tie “ Cities of the Plain,” for we verily believe that there are at least an hundred families m our neighboring city who are not given up to abominations! Far towards tfr.e sunset, may be seen the high MUa in Washington county, in the neighborhood of Florence, a distance of some 26 miles. Near er, the smoka of Pittsburgh, (the city itself can not be seen,} rolls up in clouds to the sky. Every time we look at the smoke of our beloved city from a distance, we cannot avoid thinking .of the lines of the author of “Clinton Bradshaw,” who described his first visit to the Weßtin rhyme. He impudently asked, — “ Say, were you ever westward driven, To where Pittsburgh, like a deep transgression. Looks black, and smokes, and smells to Heaven?” But the smoke of onr city, although it may not be agreeable at first to strangers, yet to our old citizens, who have grown up with her growth and strengthened with her strength, it is not the least source of attraction ! To those who are fond of visiting* -scenes of beauty and romance, we recommend a visit te "Mt. Ararat,” during a clear, calm day, and~we- feel certain that they will be grati ied and delighted. It is certainly one of the oveliest Spots in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. The Return to Washington After the President and most.of the heads of Departments having been absent from the seat of government during nearly the whole summer, WO flnd*That at last there are four now at their poSts, and the President is expected to be at his post some day this week. These men and their friends have been the foremost to denounce -Presidents for dereliction of duty, t- -.-.i-'r- uhrrrJ with electioneering through the S u'nv- "if they absented themselves from j.'r?- even though it were but for" a Tew days; while a Whig President and Cabinet can leave their - posts for months, and there is no fault found with them for it It is not a little strange, too, that one of our foreign canisters, (Mr. Letcher, -of /Kentucky,) has fotnd it necessary to leave Mb post in Mexico: and temain at home for several months, while objects of the Mghest consequence were claim ing his attention, in the country to whioh he hadfceen sent. We are told by the WMg press that Ihe .Democrats have sought to ruin the country-—or that the Democratic policy was feringing]tQixfc«ipon it; but we scarcely can be lieve that shy me&sqnes of the Democracy would no certainlyjproduce thqt result as soon as the ntter neglect of their dukes,manifested by the Whigs* --? • -u- s The net "incomes of the New; Journal of Commerce is estimated at from $3O, 000 to $40,000. One fourth of the establishment, has| gpt bwa sold for $40,000. ■ We are greatly pleased to find that the tone of the Democratic press, throughout the coun try, is in perfect unison on the subject of the wrongs inflicted upon our countrymen by the merciless Spanish ruffians in authority in Cuba. With one accord they sustain the jjublic opinion of the oountry; and deeply sympathise with the emissaries of Liberty who have been butchered in cold blood. We cannot say we are please&t o, see that the Whig press, -without an excitron that we know of, is just where the Tories of the Revolution were; where the revilers of Jefferson and Madison from 1808 to 1812 were, in relation to the war with Great Britain; where the contemners Texas and her friends were while the brave were being slaughtered at Goliad and the Alamo ; and where the friends of Mexico were In a war un justly waged against the people of this country, by that once arrogant and almost despotic gov ernment. They are on the side of power, even though wielded by a monarch or a despot! Clarion County Convention* At the call of the Democratic County Com mittee, the delegates of the different boroughs and townships of Clarion county met In Conven tion in Clarion, on the 25th ult. On motion, the following officers were elected: Thcjills Magee, Esq., President. Bamuel McCullough, John H. Groce, Vice Presidents. John H. Boggs, J. S. Turney, Secretaries. On motion, Resolved, That we vote for candidates by bal lot. The business of the Convention was then pro ceeded with as follows: President Judge, John C. Knox. Assembly, Reynolds Laughiin. These were disposed of by unanimous consent of the delegates. On the second ballot, William Curll, Esq. and Col. David B. Long, having a majority, were de clared the nominees for Associate Judges. County Treasurer, Wm. T. Alexander. County Commissioner, Peter B, Simpson. County Auditor, Daniel Aaron. Representative Conferees, C. E. Beman, Capt. Robert Barber, George W. Confer. Judicial. Conferees, Daniel Brenneman, John Weaver, Dr. Reid Goe. Instructed for Hon. John C. Knox. The following are among the resolutions unanimously adopted: Resoived t That the slanderous epithets heaped upon Hon. James Buchanan, by Gov. Johnston, in his speech in Clarion, are evidences of the purity of character and true republican princi ples of “ Pennsylvania’s favorite sonthat we believe the Union will vindioate his virtues by elevating him to the highest office in the world, the Presidency of the United States. Resolved, That to abuse James Buchanan in Clarion county, is to insult many more than merely the members of the Democratic party — whose State pride and personal knowledge of this revered statesman and philanthropist, will cause them to redouble their energy in his de fence. Resolved , That the present administrations have proved to be capable of extravagance, fraud and proscription such as has been known in no others since the organization of the gov ernment. Resolved, That we are opposed to any further agitation of the slavery question—and fully con cur in all the compromises as settled by the laßt Congress. Resolved , That we admire and approve of the selections made by the Harrisburg Convention for Supreme Judges—that we will vote the tick et as it is without the loss of a man. Resolved , That we pledge ourselves individ ually and colleotively to support the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the tioket. Trade with the British Provinces. —By a Treasury Ciroolar of 12th June, 1851, the col* lectors of the customs were instructed under the provisions of the act of Congress of 26th Septem - ber, 1850, to admit British vessels coining from the ports of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on the same footing, both as to vessels and cargoes, as American vessels, in consequence of the latter having been admitted on like terms with British in the ports of those oolonies. These privileges have since been extended to British vessels coming from the ports of Prince Edward’s Island, in consequenoe of a reciprocal proclama tion by the governor of that colouy, which has been officially communicated to the Department of State by the British Minister. Horrible Death on the Railroad. —The Pottsville (Pa.)‘Emporium says that on the arrival of a train of coal cars at Mount Carbon, during Sat urday night, fragments of a human body were found attached to a brake of one of the oars, and on examination other portions of the same .body were found strewed along the road from "below Schuylkill Haven to the point above men tioned, a distance of some six or eight miles. It turned oat to be the remains of Thomas Gar raghan, one of the'nlght'watch'al Port Clinton, who was intoxicated that night, and who had gone off to the cars in spite of the remonstrances of his wife and friends. Population.— The population of the earth amounts to 1000 mSUjons. Then reckoning a generation of 33 years, in that space of time a thousand millions must die throughout the world. Each year about 68,300,000; each week 281,000; each day 88,800; each hour .3,450; each minute 59. Some of our fellow creatures are at this moment departing out of the world; and before an hour has elapsed more than 8000 souls who are yet the inhabitants of time, will be passed into eternity. Storm. —Torrents of rain have. foUen in the vicinity of Norfolk, Va., since the 24th'inst. The wind* blew with considerable violenoe du ring the whole iff Monddy,..and in the evening increased almost to & -perfect hurricane. The steamer Jewess which left Norfolk for Balti more at four o’clock on Monday, after proceed ing as far as Hampton Roads, was compelled to return in consequence of the gale. The potato rot and Delazon Smith, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, ore both now in Southern: lowa, and it is difficult for the farmers to decide which they would rather see abated. outstanding 703,810 69 Do. unclaimed 4,433 11 Interest on certifi cates, at 4£ per cent, to Ist Aug. 1845, when fund ed 44,423 21 Domestic creditors’ scrip Total funded debt, Ist Jan. 1847..540,789,677 00 Public "debt, composed of the .eanffe items, Ist Jan., 1848 $40,578,949 61 - -do do Ist Dec., 1848 40,474,786 93 do do Ist Dec., 1849 40,397,678 92 do do Ist Dec., 1850 40,316,362 44 It will thus be seen that my statement exhib its exactly the State debt as presented by the official reports, without any floating debt for re pairs or any such thing. It is therefore demonstrated that the following amount of the pnblio debt was paid in the years herei n stated; In the year 1846 246,816 22 do 1847 160,627 49 do 1848 104,212 58 do 1849 77,063 10 do 1850 81,811 48 And it is farther demonstrated, that, practi cally, there was a more efficient sinking fund, before the act of the 10th qf April, 1849, was passed, than since that period. Although ! ad mit that there was no sinking fund, eo nomine , previous to that &cL The question is not how maoh was paid during Gov. Shank’s or Gov. Jobnston’sadministrations for old canal or railroad debts, or old debfe for repairs or mmilwr debts; Irfrge sums were un doubtedly paid for those objects during their nd ministratiops, and several preceding ones ; but the question is, how much of the debt—acknowledg ed-,' ascertained and reported by the several State Treasurers—has been paid—how much m U dimin ished / " It is said that there is about a half a million of dollars in the sinking fund. That fact I stat ed in my former letter, and gave credit for the amount. But does it follow, of course, that be cause there is a certain sum in a sinking fund, that the debt is paid pro tanto 9 If it is so; it is a happy discovery. All that p necessary to be done hereafter, will be to appropriate largely to the siukiog fund !! Mr. Pitt, I believe was the author of this sys tem ; at all events he established a sinking fund, and kept up the credit of Great Britain, when he was, in point of fact, increasing .the public debt every year! I have nothing to say against the establish ment of a sinking fond, so for from it I earnest ly recommended it in my first report to the legislature on the Finances of the Commonwealth. What I object to, is, that Mr. Johnston should claim credit for creating the revenue whioh made it certain that we should gradually pay the debt, when he was practising law in Armstrong county. And further, that ho should claim to have created all the money now in the Treasury and Sinking Fond; and alleges that be has paid a half a million of dollars of the public debt I That portion of the public debt whioh was paid in 1846, 1847 and 1848, was the port pay ment of the loan of the 4th May, 1841, by the cancellation of the relief notes, the redemption of a portion of the 6 per cent funded debt, and payments to domestio creditors. In answer to an inquiry on that subjeot, I can only state that I have no means at present of ascertaining the exact amount of State bonds cancelled in each year embraced in my state ment, except the year 1846. I received that year and cancelled State bonds to the amount of $23,883 01. It is something new, and shows that we live in an age of progress, for the whigs to complain that payments were not made in gold and sti ver. I was led to believe that they were accus tomed to regard the notes of specie paying banks as equivalent to the precious metals; ana yet I am asked whether I paid the interest in gold and stiver. To this I answer, as in nrg former let ter, that I paid it in the notes of specie paying banks, and a small proportion in that currency which Gov. Johnston saddled on the Common wealth. In answer to another Inquiry, I state with great pleasure, that in 1849 the Common wealth had so far got rid of the belief notes, and the revenue under the aot of the 29th April, 1844, was so effective (for no new revenues had been created) that the interest was paid in the notes of specie paying bonks, without being obliged to resort to the ragged relief noteß. This happy event ooourred daring the time that Mr. Ball was State Treasurer, and I was glad to have an opportunity of congratulating him up on it, when he came to Philadelphia to pay the interest And here let me repeat what I said in my former communication, that it is as olear as a sunbeam that we owe all these triumphs, this glorious reduction of the State Debt, and onr happy deliveranoe from bankruptcy, and repu diation to the legislature of 1844. And on the question of the 3 mill tax, we aro indebted for its passage to the members of both politioal parties. The revenue yielded by the aot last named, being the tax on real and personal estate, for the several years, is as follows: In 1845, tax on real and personal property per aot of 29th April, 1844 $1,300,751 00 In 1846 do .d0.,.,..d0 1,446,112 70 In 1847 do do do 1,380,781 19 In 1848 do do do 1,360,129 49 In 1849 do do do 1,298,921 23 In 1860 do do do 1,317,821 56 The revenues thus annually collected, in con junction with the ordinary revenues then exist ing, have furnished the aggregate receipts which have enabled the commonwealth to meet &U her accruing liabilities, and, by gradually paying the public debt, placed her feet on solid ground. I have deemed these remarks proper, in view of the objections to my former statement. I have, I think, answered these objections in a respectful manner. My objeot is to present facts to the public, and I shall not travel out of my way to notice any unkind personalities. JAMEB ROSS SNOWDEN. Pittsburgh, Sept. 1, 1861. Remarkable Phenomena of the Late Tor nado. —A feet connected with the late destruc tive tornado in Massachusetts, is mentioned in the Traveler. The apples from the trees over turned by the wind, have the appearanoe of fruit that has been partially baked. They are dark colored, and considerably softened. The whole apple does not, in every instance, present this appearance, it being only visible in apots on some, while on others it is more general. There are hundreds of bushels of apples in this con dition, scattered along the trail of the whirlwind. The corn-stalks, too, that are prostrated in many instances, it is said, present the appear ance of having been blasted, or cut and dried for a considerable length of time. The editor pf the traveler, who rode out to see the mis chief, says such a scene we hope never again to witness. It realized to us—as nothing ever be fore did—the meaning of the expression, “sweep it with the bosom of destruction.” The object of the meeting having been stated by the President, the following resolutions were submitted by Mr. George C. K. Zahm, and upon being read, unanimously adopted. Whereas it is the right as well as the duty of Freemen to assemble, dnd express their opinions upon important occasions, and regarding as we da the approaching election in Pennsylvania 1 as one of the most important that has ever occurred in our £fete, not only on account of the number and importance of the States offices to be filled* but the. bearing its results may have upon the future welfare of the Union, we feel it incum bent upon us to organize for the campaign.— Therefore, That we heartily respond to the* nominations made' by the State Conventions re cently assembled.^at Reading and Harrisburg, and that whilst we shall yield them a cheerful and united support, we look forward with pleas ure to their triumphant election on the second Tnesday of Ootober next, and the redemption of the Keystone State from the misrule of Federal and Abolition Whiggery. Resolved, That in the selection of onr fellow citizen and neighbor, Col. William Bigler, of Clearfield, as the oandidate for Governor, we recognize a democrat of sterling integrity, with whose history we are familiar, and to whose support we eon rally with cheerfulness. As the representative of this county for six years in the State Senate we know him well, and whose pub 11c career proves biiq to be warmly attached to the interests of his native State, a statesman of enlarged views, and to whose hands the helm of State may be safely confided. Resolved , That the bold and manly stand taken by Col. Bigler to sustain all the compromise measures passed by the last Congress, to give stability to the Union, secure “ the rights of the States, and the union of the States,” meets our warmest approbation, and should receive'the support of every democrat. That his course on these questions stands oat in strong contrast with that of Wm. F. Johnston, whose shuffling and double-dealing so as to secure the votes of aboli tionists and Natives, show him to be a dema gogue, unworthy to preside over the destinies of the Keystone State. Resolved , That Gen. Seth Clover, of Clarion county, is entitled to our warm support for the office of Canal Commissioner, believing him to be honest and capable, odd although sneered at by our opponents as “only & common man,” we re gard it as a part of the same tactics of those who hare heretofore derided the qualifications of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk. Resolved , That we have the fullest confidence in the learning, ability, and integrity of the democratic nominees for the Supreme Court, and that they merit and shall receive our united support. 1.784,381 01 96,276 47 Resolved , That we will oppose the election of John Strohm, the whig candidate for Canal Com missioner, who, by his votes in Congress, refused supplies to our suffering soldiers in Mexico, welcoming them to “ hospitable graves,” and ought never to be sustained by the patriotic citi zens of Cambria. Resolved, That we would urge upon the demo crats of the different townships a thorough or ganization, feeling satisfied if we do our duty we will roll up a majority of 600 for the whole State tioket Resolved , That this meeting cheerfully concur in the resolution adopted by a late County Con vention, expressing their approbation of the patriotic course pursued by Gen. Lewis Cass in restoring harmony to our country by the passage in the last Congress of the Compromise bills, and whilst we would again cheerfully support him in the event of his nomination for the Presiden cy, yet the first choice df Cambria county is now as it has heretofore been for Pennsylvania's fa vorite son. James Buchanan. Resolved, That in James Buchanan we pos sess a candidate every way worthy of that exalt ed station, —whose purity of private character, eminent abilities and patriotism, evinced in a long public career in the service of his country, has even forced from our political opponents an acknowledgment of his transcendent abilities, and whose elevation would not only reflect credit upon the station bat upon our State the democracy of which have always been ready to do bat tle in defence of republican men and mea sures. $ Resolved , That the proceedings of this meet ing be signed by the officers, and published In the Sentinel, Bedford Gazette, Pennsylvanian, Pittsburgh Post, Carlisle Volunteer, and Har risburg Union.

The decision of the Referees in the libel suit botween Rev. Mr. Fairchild and Rev. Dr. Adams, of Boston, has been rendered, and is regarded with much interest by the Congregational Churches, as deciding some important points of ecclesiastical polity. The Referees were men of character and ability, whose deliberate decision will have great weight in the action of counoiis and churches. The suit was brought against Dr. Adams first, for'oral slander, in on Ecclesi astical Council his belief of the guilt of the plaintiff in a matter for whioh he was on trial before that body ; secondly, for libel in publish ing, as Scribe of tho Council, the vote of the Council, whioh excommunicated Mr. F. from the Church for that crime. Dr. Adams pleaded his right to express his opinion in an Ecclesiastical body. The Referees decide that a person acting in the discharge of any duty legal or moral, and in good faith, is privileged in making accusations against another without being held to prove their truth, if made on proper occasions, and that every Christian body has a right to use all re quisite means for maintaining its discipline, and to make known its decisions by publication, even though that publication effeot the character or standing of tne accused. Dr. Adams was there fore acquitted on eaoh ohargo.. Moving a Pear Tree* Z. B. Porter, Esq., proprietor of the Cam bridge Market Hotel, has' furnished us with a statement of a novel experiment tried by him last week—4bat of transplanting a large pear tree laden with fruit Tse tree is of the Le perne variety, 18 inches in diameter a few feet from the ground, 34 feet in height, and the dis tance through the branches in any direction is upwards of £0 feet The quantity of fruit now upon the tree is estimated at two barrels. The tree was moved a distance of 32 feet, in the following manner:—A trenoh in the form of a square, 12 feet on each side, was dug around the tree, to the depth of 3J feet ; A box of plank was built around the earth thus left adhe ring to the roots, and, by working in planks at the sides, a bottom was formed to the box, whioh thus completely encased the roots of the tree. A canal was dug from the tree to the place to whioh it was to be moved, of sufficient depth and width to admit of the passage of this mass of earth, and the tree—-with the body of more than 600 cubic feet of earth, and estima ted by good judges to weigh 25 tons —was safely deposited in its new location. No roots were found in digging around or un der the tree. The time oooupied in moving it was 40 minutes—expense $6O. The tree stood upon the spot selected for the location of the Cambridge Market Bank, and was moved by Mr. James Mellon of Cambridge, at Mr. Por ter’s request, to preserve the tree and make room for the erection of that building.— yew England Farmer. California. —Professor Shepherd, who has reoently explored this land of wonders, thus writes of it: “I have now explored California for nearly two years. I can truly say it is a land of wonders. There are fresh flowers every, mopth in the year, and winter now wears the bloom of spring. I have found water-falls three and four times os high as Niagara; natural bridges, ofwhite marble, far surpassing in beau ty that of Rockbridge, Virginia; some of thou sands of gold-bearing veins, inexhaustible quan tities of iron and chrome oreslead, bismuth and quicksilver, most beautiful porcelain clay, and, in short, every thing that can bless an industri ous and enterprising people. In one valley I found more than forty springs over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. In another valley sixteen geysers, like the famous one in Iceland. In this famous abode of Vulcan the rooks are so hot. that con you stand upon them but a short tiipe even with thick boots on. The silicioua rooks are bleaohed to snowy whiteness, and breccia ted and conglomerated rooks are now actually form ing. The roar of geysers at times may be heard a mile or more, and the moment is one of the most intense interest as you approach them. The importance of apples as food, has not hitherto been sufficiently estimated in this country, nor understood. Besides contributing a large portion of sugar, mucilage, and other nutritive matter, in the form of food, they con tain such a fine combination of vegetable acids, hbstractive substances, and aromatic principles with the nutritive matter, as to act powerfully in the capacity, of refrigerents, tonics,' antisep tics : and, when freely used at the season of ripeness, by rural laborers and others, they pre vent debility, strengthen digestion, correct the putrefective tendencies of nitrogenous food, avert scurvy, and probably maintain and strength en the powers of productive labor. “The -op erators of Cornwall, in England, consider ripe apples equal to bread, and better than potatoes. In the year’lBol, a year of 'scarcity, apples, in stead of being converted into cider, were sold to the poor, and the laborers asserted that they could stand their work on baked apples without meat; whereas a potato diet required either meat or fish.” The French and Germans use apples exten sively : indeed it iB rare that they ait down in rural districts without them shape or other, even at the best table. The laborers and mechanics depend on them, to a very great ex tent, as articles of food, and frequently dine on sliced apples and bread. Stewed with rice, red cabbage, carrots, or by themselves, with a little sugar and milk, they make both a pleasant and nutritious dish. If our friends will only pro vide themselves with plenty of ohoice fruit, we will venture to assert, that not one man, women or child in fifty, would care for unlmul flesh to eat Who donbta, for a moment, that many scrofulous and other diseases ore traceable to a flesh diet ? It is well known that muoh of the meat we eat is in a diseased state when slaugh tered, and its effect may well be imagined. Yet our fruit is always in a healthy state, and can not generate disease in the human body ; but it bas a diluting, purifying and renovating tenden cy.— Water Cure Journal. Mr. 8. W. Jewett, of Vermont, an intelligent writer on husbandry, has recently imported Into this country, at a cost of $30,000, an improved breed of French Merino Sheep. They ore pure descendants from the government merino sheep of Spain, the exportation of which from the country was, at one time, death. Mr. Jewett has made bis purchases, partly from the govern ment flock, and partly few formers in possession of the remainder. The French gov ernment limit-themselves to a certain number, and each year sell at auction the surplus; of this opportunity, last spring, Mr. J. availed himself. The average weigh of the imported breed iB 200 lbs. a bead; they shear from 12 to 20 lbs. each, thus doubling and quadrupling the ordinary amount attainable. The worth of the wool is attested by the price brought at the late sale at R&mbouillet, in France, where rams were dis posed of at $4OO, and a flock of ten lambs were estimated at $l,BOO. The enterprise of the im porter, it is said, has met with fur success. Democracy in Oregon. —Official returns of the late election show the vote for congressmen to have been for Joseph Lane 2276, Wilson 543. The council is composed of eight democrats and one whig, and house of twenty democrats and 2 whigs. Yet the Tribune tried to claim Lane as having been elected by whig votes.
