WILLIAM R. ICING,

Subject to the jame decision,
HAHONAI/ DEHOCBATIO CONVENTION;
lultlmore, aid., TneiOny, June I, 18aa,
Oub Weekly;—The Saturday Mommy Post
of to»day is full of interesting news, foreign
and. domestic, and choice selections of miscel
laneous matter. It can be had at the counter,
Vie shall have something to Bay in our
next, In regard to the House of Refuge, which
will bo interesting to a numerous class of our
readers.
ggy Wo publish this morning, the interesting
correspondence between the Democratic members
of the Virginia Legislature and the Hon. James
Buchanah, on the ocoasion of his lato visit to
Richmond. The reply of Mr. Buchanan, ie
characteristic of the man, and the straight for
ward honesty of tho party to which he is attach
ed. Ifis letter is a piain and friendly acknowl
edgement of the compliment tendered him, and
at tho some time a calm, candid expression of
fealty to the principles of the great party of
which' he 1b now the acknowledged favorite.
Wherever the name of Bdciiasah 13 men
tionedit is received with respect; tmd whore
ever ho visits, ho is received with the warmest
tokens of friendship, by all parties. His high
talents and profound statesmanship havo given
him a hold upon the affections of the American
people, which neither the efforts of political
charlotans, or tho blustering of partisan bragga
docios can effect. He will be the nominco of the
Democratic party, and tho pcoplo will glory in
placing him in tho high position he is so cmi*
neatly qualified to adorn.
THE “LATIN ASDGURHIf’ PROJECT
Wo will find enough to do in opposing the
real obstacles and difficulties which are crowded
in our editorial pathway, without taking upou
ourselves the chivalrous task of fighting wind*
mills and shadows. And bo wo told a friend
who called onr attention to an anonymous com
munication m the Gazette of Thursday, in whioh
the writer tries to be severe on our article on
the new “High School ” project.
In looking over the communication, however,
wo have fouud an idea or two, which lets us into
the plans of the schemers and dreamers, who
aro working the wires to fasten upon the
people of this county on additional load of tai- ,
ation, to the already intolerable burden which (
they havo to bear. We doubt not the pertinaci
ty with which the project will be advocated, nor
do wo View with contempt the abilities of the
men who are cnbsted in Its propagation, but wo
confidently ossuro them at the outset, that, un
less they Tesort to nn d erliand, tricks to obtain
surreptitious legislation, their philanthropic la
bors will turn out abortrse. It is a lamentable
fact, that tho gallibility of our legislators bos
become a by-word; and tnen talk in the Btreet
comers of carrying tho wildest schemes through
tho legislature, by meats of bribing borers and
hoodwinking membors ; and onr over-burtbeued
citizens will have to look to it, that they arc not
trioked by the inßidnons wiles of tho “ High
School ” gentlemen.
Bat wo must get at the pith of the scheme.—
She costly structures which have been rcoently
erected by tho generous public, and without be
ing consulted ns to the cost, aro now deemed very
cheap affairs, and fit only for very common peo
ple’s children; and a “ High School ” is con
ceived, and in process of gestation, whoso foun
dation, is to bo laid upon tho basis of a universi
ty, -and whose pinnacles aro to be as lofty as the
sublimated ideas of the parents of tbo projeot
But how is this grand High School to bo. Mi •
nerva-Ukc, delivered from tho pregnant brains
of its conceivers.' and with what pap are its gi
gantlo proportions to bo nourished V Wo aro
answered by tho writer in tho Gazette; —by a taz
"upon the cities and county of Allegheny"
That’s rich 1 The farmers of the county to pay
i for the pap? ? To be butc, the farmers will have
the privilege 1 of sending their own bods to this
High School University, provided they are fit to
enter; and provided, always, the papas have
plenty of the wherewithal to pay for the oity
bosjrding of the yonng gentlemen. Bat we are
answered, the rich farmers ore as ablo to send
t'Aehr sons as the rich merchants and manufactu
rers’of the cities. Granted. But will tho tnx
/be only confined to the fortuno.fnvorod persons?
No such thing. We venture to say, if the pro
jeot is permitted to be carried out, that not one
out of one hundred citizens of the county will
ever reap a benefit from it. Iu conclusion, we
aidvise the educational reformers to let “ well
enough ” alone. They have now, by socret exer
tion, got the power of taxing the peoplo to any
extent that their extravagance may suggest,
■without any oontroling influence which can bo
brought to bear upon them. What more do they
want? If they want to destroy tho whole sys
tem, whilo it ia hardly yot in its adolescence,
they have only to go on and apply their unnatu
ral and unseasonable, stimulants.
- The Common School system has been estab
lished by a generous and enlightened sentiment
among the people, and it thanks no experimen
tal philosophers who would mar its thrifty
proportions by an attempt to ingraft upon it
new-fangled and Utopian notions.

Wo learn that petitions are in circulation in
onr city, which are already numerously signed,
calling upon tho legislature of Pennsylvania to
pass a law in regard to tho sale of spirituous
liquors similar to that now in operation in tho
State of Maine. A member of tho bar (a law
yer weimean of course,) informs: üß.that all the
lawyers inPittsburgh, with the exception of some
five or six; have signed a petition of this descrip
tion. Good for tho lawyers. Now, let Doctors

Vbe Appointment or John C- Bolrnad
To the office of Interpreter of languages for
tho Courts of Allegheny county, has given rise
to considerable feeling in this community. At
whose iostanoe of upon whdao recommendation
this appointment was mado, wo-have boon una-,
bio to ascertain. Certain it is that the Democ
racy of PHtsburgh would not ask for the ap
pointment of, a matt who is known to be an un
naturalized monarchist—a man who has no
sympathy with onr government or our, people,
and Who is this moment a subject of a foreign
despot Wo learn" from gentlemen who know
Mr. Sclinad intimately, that: he has never con
cealed his attachments for monarchical Forms of
government. The following from the West
Pennsylvanian Slaals Zeiluvg, one of the Ger
man papers of this city, will show the opinion
entertained by that portion of our adopted fel
low citizens in regard to tho appointment of Mr.
Sbaad:
« There were several petitions in circulation,
yesterday, atnoDg our American and German
follow citizens of both cities, in which Gov. Big
ler Is requested to. appoint Win. J. Ilose, Lsq.,
as interpreter of Languages for the several
Courts of Allegheny county, in lieu of Mr.
Schaad, who is not aciticen of the United States,
and can, therefore, not hold public office. Mr.
Rose is a man who possesses an excellent knowl
edge of several European languages, he is a
true-hearted Republican and a friend of Eu
ropeon Liberty, of an irreproaohnble and most
nmlahle character, and we do not know of a
porson who could fill this offioo more honorably
and conscientiously than he. We do not enter
tain the least doubt that the appointment of Mr.
Rose, in the above capacity, will bo far more
popular among the Germans than that of Mr.
Schaad, who was inoaulious enough to sot forth,
publicly, his childish predilection in favor of tho
monarchial system. We regret this especially
asMr- Schaad was born in a free country—Switz
erland.' 1
We heartily indorse all is here said of the
fitness of Mr. Hosr to discharge the duties of
Interpreter. Ho is a porfcot gentlemen, a zeal
ous republican and is popular not only -with the
Germans but with all who enjoy the pleasure of
hie acquaintance. He is an elegant soholar, and
reads and Bpeoks the German, French and Ital
ian languages with aB much facility os his moth
er tongue, and also translates the Swedish, Dan"
ish and Spanish languages. Thoro is no men
within the whole range of our acquaintance who
is bettor qualified for the office of interpreter
than Wu J Robb, and we venture to say that a
thousand men will sign a petition in his favor
for that office, where Mr. Schaad would find it
difficult to obtain the signatures of fifty persons.
PASSING AW AY ■
With the return of every spring, the old land-1
marks of tho “ Borough of Pittsburgh,” dis» |
appear in a gradual manner, and aro forced to
give place to tho march of modern improvements.
Tho humble log cabin, which in early days was
considered a kind of palaco, has to give way to
gorgeous private residences or stately ware
houses The latest attack wo have seen, is tho
demolition of •* Lccky Blacksmith Shop,” in
Virgin Alloy, below Wood street. The vandals
assailed it yesterday morning, and continued
tearing it to pieces, in tho most remorseless
manner, until their labors were ended. If
Morri", who addressed a few pathetio remarks
i to a man who was cutting down an old tree,
l had seen the heartless manner in which this last
memento of by-gono times is being destroyed,
he would address a touching ballad to the de
stroyers of tho old Blacksmith Shop. But we
havo no poet here to immortalize tho old shop,
and, therefore, it must pass away, •• unwept,
unhonored, and unsung/

jgy* Gov. Hempstead of lowa, has addressed
a letter to Gov. Kossuth, inviting him m behalf
of tho people of lowa, to visit that state. Gov.
Hempstead Bays: “Although the General As
sembly of the State is not in session, and the
means of a formal reception are not in our pow

you visit us, you will find a people who scorn
oppression—who love liberty, and who dooply
sympathise with all thoßO who are struggling,
or who may oontend for tho establishment of
Republican and free governments through the
world.”
EQk, The Richmond Enquirer publishes a
a letter from ex-President Tylor, embodying
that gentlomnu’s views upon the intervention
question. Spooking of Kossuth, Mr. Tyler says
•• If all may not bo granted that ho now asks,
we will unfold to him that future, now near at

will convert into reality, when the oppressed
nations may bring their complaints to the bar

Ricihicsd, Feb. 12, 1852,
Oestlfmeh: On my arrival in this city last
evening I rocoivod yonr very kind letter, wel
coming mo to tho metropolis of the Old Domi
nion and tendering mo tho honor of a pnblio
dinner. I regret—-deeply regret—that my visit
to Richmond will necessarily bo so brief 1 can
not enjoy tho pleasure and the pnvilcgoof meet
ing you ail at tho festive board. Intending
merely to pass a day with my valued friend,
Jndge Mason, my previous arrangements are of
snch a character that 1 must leave heTo to-mor
row, or, at the latest, on Saturday morning.
But whilst I cannot accept tho dinner, I shall
ever esteem the imitation from bid many of Vir
ginia's most distinguished and estimable sons as
one of tho proudest honors of my life. ’I onr
ancient renowned Commonwealth has ever been
the peculiar guardian of State rights and tho
firm supporter of constitutional liberty, of law,
and of order. When, therefore, she endorses
with her approbation any of my poor efforts to
servo the country, her commendation is a suie
guarantee that these have been devoted to a
righteous cause.
You aro pleased to refer in favorable terms to
my receut conduct ** at home m defenoe of the
federal constitution and laws." This was au
easy and agreeable task, beca ise tho people of
Pennsylvania have ever been as loyal and faith
ful to the constitution, tho Union, and the rights
of the Sovereign States of which it is composed
as tho people of tho ancient Dominion themselves.
To have pursued n different course iu my native
State would, therefore, have been to resist the
strong carrent of enlightened public opinion.
I purposely refrain from discussing the origin
al merit of the Compromise, bccauso I consider
it, to employ tho oxpressive language of tho
day, as a “ finality ” —a fixed fact—a most im
portant enactment of law, tho agitation or dis
turbance of which could do no possible good, bat
might produce much positive evil. Our noble
vessel of State, freighted with tho hopes of man
kind, both for tho present and future genera
tions, has passed through tho moat dangerous
breakers which she has ever encountered, _ond
has triumphantly ridden out the storm. I»oth
thoso who supported the measures of the Com
promise as just and neoessary, and those who,
regarding them In a different light, yet acquiesce
in them for tho sake of the Union, have arrived
at the same conclusion—that it must and shall
bo executed:" They have thus, for every practi
cal purpose, adopted the same platform, and
havo resolved to sustain it against the common
enemy. Why, then, should they wrangle and
divide and wasto their energies, not respecting
tho main question, which has already been dofi«
nitely settled, but in regard to tho process which
has brought them, though from different direc
tions, to tho same conclusion! Above all, why
should the strength of the democratic party of
tho country be impaired and its asoondenoy joo
parded for any Bach caueo ? We who believe
that the triumph of democratic principles ia es
sential not only to tho prosponty of the Union,
but even to tho preservation of tho constitution,
ought recipocrally to forgot, and, u need he, to
forgive tho past, and oordially nnito with onr po
litical brethren in sustaining for the future the
good old cause of democracy. It must bo a
souroe of deep and lasting pleasure to every pa
triotic heart that our beloved country has so
happily passed through tho Into trying and dan
gerous crisis- The voloano has been extinguish
ed, I trust, forever; and tho man who would
apply a firebrand, at the present moment, to the
combustible materials which still romam, may
produce' an eruption to overwhelm both iho con
stitution and the Union.
With sentiments of high and grateful respeot,
' remain your fellow-citizen,
JAMES BUCIIANAN.

The Arotio Searoh
Lieut- Wilkes, in reply to inquiries which have
been directed to him in relation to tho plan bo
sucreested for the searoh after Sir John Franklin,
in a communication to the editors of the Nation- j
al Intolligenper, explains tho mode in -which ho
would propose the searoh should be corned on.
Tho first desideratum in the search po holds to
be to avoid as far as poßSible the risking of more I
valuable lives in tho attempt to render assis
tance to those who may have already perished.
Tho seoond, to render relief as speedy and effec
tive as possible. Believing the Bearch by ves
sels to bo fntilo, he proposes to employ them on
ly to convey men and -provisions to the harbor |
on Wellington Channel, where Sir Jolirr Franklin ]
and his -expedition passed the winter of lodj- ,
'4O There he proposes to piece a temporary
colony of from four to fivo hundred men, pro
vided with all moans necessary, viz: sledges,
boats, &0., of the beet and most appropriate
construction; and for this temporary colony to
remain until tho whole Arotio region is search
ed In all directions from this point. This forco,
he believes, would bo adequate to mako an of„
feotual oxploration in two teutons, and be subject
to no more risk than wbat may be cnoountered
in suoh climates which by expenenco of former
expeditions have notbeen found to bo Bubjeot
to greater oasualtiCß than other of the
gl lnrefßrence to the plan thus proposed Lieut.
W says he has Bill confidenco m its practicabili
ty' and that whether it result successfully lu the
humane object of affording relief to tho missing
voyages, or only in adding contributions to our
knowledge of the Arotio regions, it mast still
prove highly honorable to our country. Ho Ims
already ; submitted a memorial to Congress di
recting their attention to tho proposed plan
ot searoh, and invoking their aid in carrying it
out.
