. OGNBBAL SCOTT AND TIIG WHIGS.
The Whigs of Pennsylvania have at lost made
np thoir mlnd as to the universal merits of. Gen.
Scott, and have come to the conclusion that ho
is very muclr like Washington, Jackson, Ilarri
■ Bon and TayloT. Just listen to them talk. They
say—
; “The history of the past fully establishes the
falsity of tho proposition that Kepublics ore uu
" grateful. The memories of Waßhingtou, Jack
on, Harrison, and Taylor, teach us that the
American Republic has never yet been ungrate
ful In those who have led her armies, defended
hpr rights, and adorned her name with an imper
' ishabte renown.”
The opening of the paragraph quoted indicates
~ >that the old saying about tho ingratitude of Re
"■ publics is not true, in the opinion of the writer,
and concludes that ours will, prove tho contrary
by electing Scott to an office ho is not qualified
to fill..
r - Tho most amusing portion of this: extract is
their reference to Qen. Jackson for tho purpose
• of bolstering up their candidate's claims. It
will be news to the people, especially the Demo
" cratic’portion of them, to hoar the name of
■ Jackson comiog from the lips of Whig politicians
in courteous accents. Heretofore his name wss
■ scarcely evermeutionad by them without being
oaupleS with- some approhrious epithet. But
now-they have discovered that hie elevation to
the Presidency, was a tribute to .his exalted
trorth, and that the honor conferred upon him ie
-■ an evidence that Republics are not ungrateful
to their great benefactors! What, arrant knavr
ing itie for the political charlatans at the pres
ent day, to attempt to slaver with their, insin-.
cere praise, the great hero and statesman they
' maligned-so fouly when he was living.. If they
think by doing so they cßn lead a simple Dem
ocrat from the straightpath of his political duty,
they are sadly mistaken.
•While there is a demoorat living who reveres
that good old man for his bravery, honesty, tal.
entsj and unswerving firmness of purpose, the
abnio thafho has suffered from the party that
now quote his name in terms of praise,will never
bo forgotten, although it may, in _n measure, bo
forgiven.
■They are : simple in attempting to draw n par
allel between- Jackson and Scott. No one will
for p moment doubt the bravety or military skill
of the latter; but although they have been bril
liants, they appear like the tinsel displays of a
carpet knight, compared to the skill , decision,
sufieringS and success of Andrew Jackson.—
There- was nothing of fuss anil foathera about
him in -his campaigns. They were more like
forlorn hopes than triumphal marches, and when
he and hia hardy followers returned from them,
they- were worn down by tlio fatigues and perils
■ they-had to undergo. Brilliant and. brave as
Qen: Scott has proved himself to be, it will not
do for bis friends to institute a comparison be-.
v tvreen bim and Gen. Jacksou, either as a Soldier
ora Statesman.
. . Phaaddross goes on to say:—
*'.ln fidelity to the Constitution, and in grati
tude to its defenders, Pennsylvania acknowledges
no superior. Within the broad limits of this
great BemoeTatio Empire there is. to be found no
v Commonwealth more loyal and patriotio. And
while it ie very certain that no man who is not
true to the Constitution in oil its parts and the
XJnioninits integrity, can &tand even the shadow
of a ohanee to obtain heT electoral -Vote,—it is
- equally pertain that no man, Whig or Democrat,
hae so much the confidence and affection of her
people aa WisnEtn Scott.”
What-do these men mean by “ fidelity to the
•Constitution ?” Do they mean an honest support
of the Jaws adopted under its provisions '! If so,
the people atewofnUy in tho dark as to .Qen.
Scott’S opinions, and especially on one law that
- it was. thought would give peace to the country ;
and many sußpect (with reasons, too,) that he is
' afraid to meet the question in a-straight forward
manner. This was not our Jackson’s way when
he was interrogated on a great national question.
He never stopped toVeonßlder the probabilities of
a “fire-ln-the rear,” orI’wasted 1 ’wasted his time in en
jojingi hasty plateof soup when his opinion
was required on a greatpational subject. There
- was never any-difficulty to ascertain his position
on all subjects in which the interests of the peo
ple Vera concerned, nnd there are hut few will
now say that he ever made a mistake in any po
sition he ever took, or any polioy he resolved to.
follow, in either his mili»ry or civil capacity.
But, these men who start out in their address
PITTSBUEQH:
notice;
OCR CAMPAIGN PAPER.
with suolvardent' expressions in favor, of Scott,
appear to have method in their madness, and
have droped a couple of anchors to windward, by
which they hope they may save themselves in
osse a “tire in the rear”, should shatter the ves
sol in which they have shipped. They say:—
Of Millitrd Fillmore, the patriotic and distin
guished gentleman who now so creditably occu*
pies the loftiest official position on the earth, ns
Whigs we are proud.
Of Daniel Webater, whose fame iB not even
limited by tbebonnds of civilization—who, aa or
ator and statesman, stands almost without a rival
in the world—pfcerleßS and unapproachable in
the mightinnd splendor of his genmB —as Ameri
cana we are proud. His nnme shall be handed
down as a boast and a heritage to our children.
There is. a compliment for yon, paid, to the
head of the great Whig party, which is as con
temptible in its sentiments, as it iB meagre in
words. . The great Expounder, - too, is disposed
of in rather a hasty manner, hut that is the na
ture of the soup, the Committee desire to lap, and
wo suppose it is all right, and .should be consid
ered properly seasoned.
The address is a cariosity in its way, and we
would publish it entire did-wc not know that it
will, appear in all the Whig papers of the city:
It is a first rate funuy article Tor their columns,
and will amass their readers amazingly.
:11AY 20.
JSgyP" The young whigs who are anxious to ait
in the . Legislature, are taking t.be proper steps to
bring themselves before the people. This is right,
and we.suppose that they hope the 16gal num
ber of them will Bucceed in getting the nomina
tion, but we have a very different opinion as to
their election. It is somewhat strange, tb'al
among all the persons we have heard, mentioned
for the office, the nano of not one of our late
members has not been uttered. llow is this:
They were oil well behaved gentlemen; extreme
ly quiet and orderly, aud cover interfered for or
against the projects of any portion of the commu
nity. They kept theirseats in a moßl exemplary
manner during the whole session ; never said
anything at all, and we think it would bo gross
injustice on the part of the whigs to turn them
oil'. If. they had done anything, thpre might bo
somo reason for the course , their party appears
disposed to pursue towards them ; but we defy
any man in Allegheny county to point to' a single
act that has been passed in tho late legislature,
that will not .'prove our mombers to bo a very
quiet set of representatives. We are in for
them ns tho whig candidates once more, and we
hope they may get the nomination.
“ Vested Rlghta-’ Invoded,
There is a law before Congress which the Sen
ate ordered to lie engrossed, that we consider a
direct attack upon the privileges of the Galphin
ites, a “largo and highly respectable;" portion
of tho friends of the present administration. It
is said that tho bill makes void all transfers and
assignments, hereafter to be made, of any claim
upon the United States, or nny part or share
theaeof, or interest therein, and alt agreements
for allowing compensation to and agent, or oth
er pci son,'ou nccount of services by procuring
testimony in support of tbo allowance or the
claim; also, all powerß of attornoy, letters
and orders for receiving payment of any such
claim. Tliatany officer of the United Slates, or
person bolding any place of trust or profit, in
any of the executive departments, who shell Bet
as agont. for prosecuting any claim against the
United States, or otherwise assist in the prose
cution of such claim shall be liable to an .indict
ment for misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall
pay a Cue of $l,OOO, or imprisonment for six
months, or both. That any member of Congress
who shall, for compensation, not ns agent for
such claims, shall bo liable to the same penalties.
A Compromise Monument,
We loam from tho New Orleans Cmce.nl that
Wm.l*. Fcsnsr, an esteemed citizen of that city
projects the construction of a handsome Union
monument, at some point in Canal Street, New
Orleans. . Tho monument is designed to perpet
uate the memory of the Compromise aeries of
moasurcs, to typify the solid and noble national
harmony they restored, and to foster by its visi
ble teachings the love of unbroken and enduring
Union. This is a noble and patriotic idea. The
Crucenl states that as “ a wholo the monument
will be. ail excellent specimen of the composite
style of architecture. From a baBC of about 40
feet in breadth and 18 feet in height, rises a
graceful Corinthian shaft, 42 feet high, upon the
beautiful capital of which rests a block of ma
sonry on which will be inscribed the name; of
Cass, Webster, Downs, Phelps, Mangum, Bright,
Cooper, King; Dickinson, etc.; above this again
there is a place for a town clock,, and above all,
standing l on a pedestal, will tower a statue of
Henry Clay, the large-hearted old statesman, of
whom to-day, in all human probability, there iB
left only his memory aud his imperishable
fame.” ]
WuaEi.isa Bbii.oi: Cass — -Important /—At a
late hoUr iast night, (says the Dispatch ofyester
day morning,) we learned, by the politeness of
of the operators on the Mobse Lino, that a dis
patch had been received from Washington City,
BtatingUhat Mr. McAlpihe, the Civil Engineer to
Whom the matter had been referred, bad report
ed to the U. S. Supreme Court—
lßt —That no sufficient draw can be placed on
the Wheeling Suspension Bridge.
2d—That no draw oan bo placed on that, or
on the bridge West of Zano’a Island, , which
would produce no obstruction (at all times,) to
steamboats.
84—That tho removal of the Western Bridgo
will not; open an unobstracted channel (at all
times,) to steamboats,: unless tho bar at tho head
of tho Island is removed.
Steubenville and Indiana Itallroad.
Tho Steubenville Herald, states that James
Means, Esq., President of the above ootnpany
has returned from New York City, where ho had
been a number of weeks negotiating Bonds for
the Company. He was very successful, and tfio
Company sinco his return are greatly encouraged
by tho favor with which their paper was received
among eastern capitalists.
We notioe by an advertisement in thp Herald
that proposals wilt be received on Wednesday,
the 2d day of June, 1852, for the earthwork and
masonry: of section No. 0, of the Steubenville
and Indiana {Railroad, adjoining tho oity of
Stenbenville,’ and containing about 80.000 yards.
Jons H. Walct.ii. Esq., Senator from
Erie county, it is said, will bo the Whig candi
date for Congress in that district. Mr. Walker
took a very active part in procuring tho passage
of the outrageous apportionment bill through
the Legislature, which gives the Whigs a major
ity of the Congressional districts, although the
Democracy are largely in the ascendant in tho
State. • No doubt Mr. W. had his eyes fixed up
on Washington City when laboring so ardently
for : a Whig Congressional district in North Wes
tern Pennsylvania.
Col. Win. B. Mowry, of Allegheny City, Col.
Richard Cowan,; Col: -Morgan Robertson, Col.
F. Q. Kay, and abont a dozen of other distin
guished Whig Colonels, are spoken of as candi
dates for-tho Legislature.. We hope that Colo

such able legislators at Harrisburg. ,

CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE,
Steamer Kate Kebney, V .
San Joaquin River, April 11th, 1802. j
Dear Sib:—While thebeautiful “Kate” is
gliding smoothly up the San Joaquin (pronoun
ced TPb/A-.1n,) I hove concluded to e-raploy
my leisure.time in giving yon n few items. It is
now about sir weeks Bines I left the diggins,
since which time I have visited different parts of
the State, and have had the pleasure of taking
by the hand many of my Pittsburgh friends.
As it appears to gratify yonr numerous readers
to hear from their friends, I will here endeavor
to give you the names and locations of such of
them as I have seen and heard from within the
last two or three weeks.
In Marysville,- D. Frcnob, Robert Baird, S.
Squires, H. Wynn, It. MoClean. While there,
Mr. Casey arrived and immediately departed for
the Mines about forty miles distant.
In Sacramento, Gov. Bigler, Senator McKib
bin, Capt. S. Deal, Capt. J. W. Taylor, J. B.
Mitchell, Esq., Sheyff Patterson, Dr. Morse,
Walter Williams, Joseph Riddle,; Colville,
Joseph Fullerton and brother, John McGlory, F.
Frisby and others whoso names l have now for
gotten.
A. Ingram and Mechlin, (of Butler,)
have Ranchos a short distance above the city on
the banks of the Sacramento. 1 John Williams
and James Johnson have a Rancho a few miles
below the city. While in Sacramento afewdays
ago, I met my old friendß, Isaao McKee and R.
C. Gilchrist. R. Jacobs, Lieut. A. McClotyand
D. Ellis arc at Green wood. Lieut. Kane, Messrs.
Bradin, Gallagher, Graham, Fulton, C. Cochrcn,
and a number of others arc in the vicinity of
Downeysvillc. James Gracey is at Ringgold.—
At Hang Town, Mr. Wonderly and wife; San
Franoisco, Edw. Smith, Capt. B. IrviD, Barck
ley, Toniel, Soully,. Uunnewcll, Brickol, Crcn
icn, Roht. Rqhinson, John S. Wilson and two
sons (Dick and Billy,) Harry Paulson, D. McKee,
— Hughes, C. Lee. On the steamer Cam
ancho, Capts. Grant and Marshall, Geo. Great
rake, T. Snoo, T. Calhoun, D. McCUutock, If.
Bennet, Griffith, W. Foughner,
Clark; on the atenmer Wrilda, Capt. Frisl>y and
Son; on the Rteamcr Kate Kcrncy, S. W. Her
ring and James Baxter. ruStockton, Pat, Kane;
Columbia, Lieut. McClcan, Charles Evans and
others; on the Mariposa, D. Q. Herring, J. Mc-
Gaw; near Sonora, Capt. J, Matthews, Marlot
Wilson, Cane and McGregor.
Tlio steamer Oregon which arrived at San
Francisco on thc Tth, brought up Lieut. Rankin,
.Tames Ralston, J. W. Ralston, Jos. Allison, Geo.
Martin, Hugh Ritchie, Peter Snider, Wm, Neely,
Jns. McGiunis, A. Wanlen, Jobu Cabbage, J.
Scott, John Wallace, Samuel Matthews, John
Glass (not John P.) and Atcx. Phillips, nearly
all of whom left- the same evening on board the
Camanchc for Sacramento, Maryarillo aodtho
Northern mines. James Moore of the same par
ty is coming up on tlio Clara Sanders, a sailing
vessel.
The Independence which arrived at San Fran
cisco yesterday, brought up Mr. Smith, iady
and dnoghter, and Mrs. Dobson and child ; all
well. There may have been others onthestcam
er, but I had not time to ascertain.-
At a meeting pf the Pioneer Pittsburghers held
a few evenings since, 1 was by a resolution of
the meeting instructed to enquire of you wheth
er there were any more Pittsburghers coming to
California, nud if so, how many? Havinguow
gone through with the tinmen, locations, Ac.. of all
the Pittsburghers I can now think of, I will
take occasion to notice the kindness with which
I have been treated by those whom 1 have men
tioned as being on the steamer Camnnche, Kate
Kerney and Wrilda,
Pittsburghers inCalifornia should never forget
such wholesale generous and kind hearted men
as Capts. Grant, Marshall, Frisby nud young
Grentrake and'S. W. Herring, neither of whom
have over been known to refuse passage to the
poor or unfortunate who were unable to pay.—
Many persons have arrived hero lately, whohnvc
not had a dollar to pay their passage to the mines,
and have been carried up fret by the kindness of
those whom I have just .mentioned..
The travel to and from San Franoisco appears
to be daily on the increase, and I assure you it
is no exaggeration to say that thousands daily
arrive and depart from San Francisco, “ The
wholo world and the balance of mankind ” aps
pears to be coming to this land of gold,! and if
my friend Recce don’t hurry up his cakes, there
will not ho an aore left for a site for “ Jesus
ville.”
MiuOTB are now doing tolerably well, but with
such a rush aa is now being made for the “dig
gins,” the business will soon fail to pay. The
Southern Slaveholders aro now bringing their
slaves to the mines. There is some hnlf dozen
of slaves on the boats where I now write. I al
so have noticed a letter written by aslave holder
and published in one of our papers, urging slave
holders to emigrate with their slaves to Califor
nia by thousands. Now I can tell Messrs. Soul,
driver, that we freemen can do nil the mining
that is to be done in California, and should they
ever dare to bring. their slaves here, wo shall
harry them out of the country a little foster
than they ever came in.
' A word about politics and I have done. While
in Sacramento, on Monday, 1 had the mortifica
tion of seeing the Hon. James R. Ilnrdenberg
defeated. Mr. H. was the Democratiocandidate
for Mayor, and was defeated by G en. Hutohison,
the Whig candidate. Disagreeable as it may be
to the Whiga, I must check any disposition on
their part to crow. There are two Democratic
papers in Sacramento city, the “Stato Democrat”
and “Timos and Transcript.” The Times op
posed the whole democratic: ticket, and conse
quently defeated the party and placed in power
the Whig’s Mayor. Ilardeuberg was one of the
most honest, active, energetic and faithfnl pub
lic officers over known in this or any other State,
and I am muoh mistaken if the credit of Saora
mento City can bo maintained by any other
man.
Since I last visited San Frapcisco, numerous
ohauges havo taken place among ofiioo Beekers,
office holders, and politicians' generally, Tho
Whigs have been ousted, and all the offioes are
now filled by Democrats. Among tho number I
beg to notice D. W. Thompson, Esq., the city
marshal ; Mr. T. Sidilß, from - Cincinnati, who
came hero in 1849, sinco whioh time ho has-been
hand-cartmen, auctioneer, deputy marshal, dep
uty sheriff, polioe officer, and is now marshal
of the great city of San Francisco. He has
made his ‘‘pile” once or twice, bat, liko tho un
fortunate writer of this, has had his nil swept
off three several times by firo, Still, however,
ho hn3 persovered until he has arisen to the
honorable and. responsible offioe: whioh he now
liolds. Modeßt merit will sometimes overcome
ignorance, impudence and old broken down po
litical hooks. Thompson is a generous hearted,
liberal and high minded man, and friend of the
poor. His numerous friends will join with me
in rejoicing at his promotion. ;
I would like to write you more but really.l: am
not in the . Writing humor. In addition to this
you will receive exchanges from. San Franoisco
and Sacramento which will advise yon of all that
has transpired.

The Boston Journal says that tho following

so many valuable manuscripts. It was written
at tho timo and on tlie spot where Jesus Christ
commenced his ministry, by Publius Lcntullus,
the Governor of Judoo, to tho Senatoof Rome —
Ctesar, Emperor. It was tho custom in those
days for tho Governor to write homo any event

“ Conscript Fathers: There appearedin those

A Black Coronation. —Solouquo, the negro
Emperor of liayti, has been orowned at last.—
Tho ceremony took place on the 18th of April,
as was originally intended. His sablo majesty,
of course, takes the title he has hitherto conven
tionally borne—that of Faustin the First. Ho
has thus got the start of the white negro over
the water, who bums and.ha’s, and doesn’t come
to tho sticking point like his sable brother of tho
once French dependency. It is said that great
alarm prevails at Washington on account of the
proximity of a despotic empire so near this great
republic. It is feared the example may bo infec
tions. The ceremonies wero a correct imitation
of those performed on similar occasions, both in
Protestant and Calholio countries—a Roman
Catholic Vicar General annointing the Emperor
with cocoa nut oil, &c., .vc., and both their mar
jestiea, the omperor and tho empress, wero bo
jeweled and betinseled with all the foppery of
their race—we mean in a donblo scdbc —that of
emperors aud darkies. The only thing that was
omitted upon the occasion was the incense—it
was found to be unnecessary, nature having pro
vided it in overflowing abundance. —National
Democrat.
Land ron the Landless. —A treaty is now
before the U. S. Senate for its ratification, by
wbicli the Sioux tribe of Indians on tho St.
Potors river and other jtestora Blream3 proposo
to sell to our Govcrnment4C,ooo square miles of
fine lands, which will enlarge our territory to
tho extent of 30,000,000 aores. We aro to pay
for it that Is equivalent to ten cents per acre for
this purchase. Half a million of dollars will
be paid down in money and goods and $50,000
a year for fifty years thereafter.
Hero, of itself, is room for half a million of
those froightened oroakers, who affect so muoh
alarm at the extensive incoming of the surplus
population of Ireland and Germany.
Tho Methodist Conference, now in see
sion at,Boston, haß. an ugly case before it for
adjudication. It arises on an appeal of the Rev.-
Ezra Sprague from tho decision of expulsion
passed against him by the Troy Conference.—
The reverend gentleman is charged with practic
ing Mesmerism, nnd sending a female medium to
the other world on a spiritual mission; also in
veighing against the veracity of two individuals,
and stealing a load of manure. [Tho Charges
have been confirmed by tho Conference.]
Exactly So. —The Evening J’usf,.says, at no

and fundamental principles of the democracy
boon more popular than now, never perhaps was
the want of confidence in the whig polioy nnd in

general oonviotion among the more. enlightened
