net, has come back from Europe, and is to be

The weather was considerably more mild yes
terday ; aod we hope this hard winter is about
to give plaoe to the more agreeablo and oustom
sry temperature of this region. Heretofore,
farmers have sometimes ploughed in February.
This year there was snow to plow, but no
chanse to plow anything else.
The Gazette has just discovered that Qeorge
Law, of New York, is an aspirant for the Presl
denoy. That matter was under discussion
months ago. Physically considered, Ur. Law
would be a strong oaudidate. Ho has about the
strength of three ordinary men, and energy and
pluok enough to whip a locomotive, if neceseary.
He is rich enough to equip an army himself, and
oonquer Cuba; and if he was President, aod
took a notion to hare that island, he w>uld hare
it rare. He knows how to make money enough
to fill the United States Treasury In a year.
He bought nearly a hundred thousand old go?-
eminent muskets some time ago. He is now re
boring them, and converting them into Minio
rifles. The mußkets cost about $2,60 apiece.
He sells the rifleß at $l5. If Spain ehoald in
*ult this country while George was President, he
would be found at the head of an American
army, encamped before the wails of Madrid, in
three months. He could almost knook down
John Ball, or any other ball, with one blow of
his fist. He is a terrible man—is George Law.
He is a millionaire, too; rich, liberal, aotive,
Wide-awake, go-ahead, and thoroughly American
In heart and soul. But big George can’t bo
President. He lacks experience and intelli
gence in elate affairs. Bis chances for a nomi
nation are not good.
Bat the following letters look as though ho
had some chance:
“ Habbisbdbo, Pa., Feb. 24, 1855.
“The'Speaker of the Honse of Representa
tives and a large number of members of the two
Houses of this Legislature have addressed a let
ter to George Law, of New York, sounding him
upon national affairs, and aßkiog him to take
« the field as the champion of the now Amerioan
" party. This letter was written some daye since.
This movement has created qnite a sensation in
thlß quarter, and mach anxiety and speculation
are afloat in anticipation of Ur. Law’s reply.”
George Lsw Abeed In Jersey.
LETTXB TBOK THE ABSEMBLTHEti TO QEO. LAW—
“A letter from a considerable number of the
members of our Legislature has been addressed
to Georgo Law, of New York, urging upon him
the acceptance of the Presidency as the Enow
Nothing candidate. This has been done over
the head of Commodore Stockton, who bae all
along heretofore carried ell the ’Jarseys’ in his
breeches pocket. George Law, however, is
considered a still wealthier man, and democracy
in tbia State being guaged by dollars and oents,
the gallant Commodore most give way to the
Great Contraotor. Ii is supposed that Law will
aocepton high-pressure filibustering principles.”
The Know Nothings seem to have a penchant
for large men. Jacob Broom, of Philadelphia,
la also talked of by them for the Presidenoy.
He will weigh about 820 pounds; and is well
proportioned, tolerably aotive, and qnite good
looking at that.
Then, Gen. Sam Houston is talked of strongly.
Be raay'win. He stands abont six feet fonr
inches in his brogans, with a brawDy and still
powerfal frame; and
fl Ills eye in age quick, clear and keen,
Shows what In youth Its glance had been.”
He tipped Santa Anna one of those “glances”
once, juet after the battle of San Jaointo; and
Mr. Santa Anna knocked under in no time.
The enterprising “ looal ” of the Dizpatch is
decidedly a useful “ institution.” He gives
the publio information that oould he obtained
from no other source. For Instance, who else
oould have mado known the foot that the funded
debt of onr city was over eleven million dollars 1
We thought it was but $1,186,624. The oredit
of our oity abroad will be wonderfully im
proved when the Dispatch is read. Our bonds
trill go up in the eastern market two per oent.,
at-least. A city that is able to owe over eleven
million dollars ought to be in good oredit any
where. The holders of the bonds should send
them to the London market a,t onoe, and send
a copy of the Dispatch along with them.
The Diepalch says, too, that the oily debt “has
tot been increased.” Yet, by his own showing
it was increased ten million dollars in n single
night. Our city fathers should see to this at
owe. Snoh an enormous debt will frjghten onr
tax payers.
But we mention this merely to correot an cr
■oneous statement. The funded debt 1b bat a
little over $1,180,000, That is quite large
enough.
We would call attention to Bn advertise-
Jnont of a printing office and newspaper for sole,
in one of the beet regions of Ohio. It has a
good circulation, and ia an old and well estab
lished paper. Its job office doeß a good busi
ness, and we presume soma enterprising print
ers and publishers would find it a good chanoo
for an Investment.
Attention is invited to the communica
tion of «0. P. Q.,’’ iu regard to the Board of
Trade, and Ohio improvement.

“ Teestoh, N. J., Feb. 24, 1855.
CITY INDEBTEDNESS.
THE TARIFF BILL. .
The tariff bill which has passed tho House
and is now before the Senate, provides that arti-
cles bow bearing dnticßbf'loo, 40, 30, 26, 20,
16,10 and 6 per cent. Bhall, after thejlstof duly,
isy 80, 32, 24, 20, 16, 12, 8 and 4 per cent.
This is a reduction of 20 percent, on the present
rates. It rednees tho duty on wool to 8 oents
per pound, and makes raw silk and 6ax, most
kinds of aye stuffs, and various other articles
used in manufactures, duty free. The duty on
all iron is reduced 20 percent, on present rates.
Frnitß and vegetables, now taxed 20 per oent.
are to come in free of duty. Salt, seeds, woodß
ani roots, bnrr stones, bolting oloths, and ani
mals of all kinds, are placed on the free list.
Articles of manufactured silk under the tariff
of 1846 are oharged with thirty per cent, duty
on eome artiolcs and twenty-five on others. Un
der the proposed tariff, they are ail plaoed under
Sohedule C, nnd will pay twenty-four per oent.
Under this sohednle will be included iron of all
kinds, coal, glass of all kinds, with the excep
tion of ent glass, hats, gloves, ready-made oloth
ing, coaches, wagons, &0., and tho furniture,
ootton and woollen fabrics, including carpets,
linen mannfactnreß, sugar and molasßes, furs and
mannfaotnres of far.
Tho bill is now before tho Senate, where some
alterations will probably bo made that will Bend
it baok to the House.
The wool growers will not like this refusal of
aU protection to them. The change will reduce
considerably the price of wool. But the iron
interest of Pennsylvania suffers moBt; and
should the bill giving credit for three years for
duties on railroad iron pass the House, it will
seriously damage iron manufacturers. It has
passed the Senate, and, it is supposed the House
will pass it. The design of it is to make rail
road iron free of duty. The bonds given for
the duties will be cancelled before they are doe.
CongreßS has dono very little good this winter ;
and this bill is not only unnecessary bat a great
injury tooneof the most important manufactur
ing interests of the country.
No Sesatob —It is tho general impression
that tho Legislature hoving failod to eleot a
Senator, the Govomorwill have the right to ap
point one to fill the vacanoy, till the next Legis
lature elects. This was our impression at first.
But it is an error. It is only when a vacanoy
occurs during a reoess of tho Legislature that
the Governor may appoint. In the present oase,
wo must wait till the next Legislature meets and
elects a Senator. During more lhantwo monthß
of the next Congress, then, Pennsylvania will
have bnt one Senator, unless the time of electing
be ohsnged.
It will be seen by tho subjoined tele
graphic despatch from Harrisburg, that we are
likely to have a new county np the river. And
tho Mechanics' Bank bill passed the Senate.
IIABHiSBCCQ, February 28. —The Mil creating a new ccun
ty to be called Monoogahela, not Interfering with Alle
gheny, was called up in the Senate to-day, and its erection
advocated by Meer.ra. Frazier, M’Cllntock, Price and Platt.
It waa oppored by Mr. Fleanihcn. The measure pamd—lB
ayes to 9 nays.
1 he Mechanics' Bank bill was called np, and advocated by
Messrs. Darele and M’Cllntock, on tho ground that with a
population doubled since 1834, the bank capital of Pitts
burgh bad decreased nearly a million and a bah* dollars.
It passed finally—ayes 12, nays 10.
I For the Morning Po«t]
Th« Board of Trade and the Improve-
ment of the Ohio Ativer.
Messrs. Editors :—The editor of the Journal
expects to get rid of “O. P. Q and his few
very gentle remarks, by repeatedly saying that
*‘o. P. Q.” is “stupid.” It will not answer,
most resplendent Robert' Vou do not think
“ O P. Q.” is stupid ! You are playing your old
game of the diplomatist, whose only use for lan
guage was to conceal his thoughts. We will wa
ger five ehareß of the “ fanciest ” copper stooks
ever dealt in, that you do not believe the article
signed “0. P. Q.” is stupid, nor its author nei
ther.
We have Qgain examined the extract from the
Journal, as advised by the editor, to see if it
were possible wo had misapprehended him, and
wc transcribe it odco more, for reconsideration:
“We hope to ec.e our Board of Triulo take this matter op
in the admirable Fpirit which characterises tho movement of
tho LonUrille Chamber ol Commerce,”
What matter ? Why, the Ohio river improve-
Very well. Now, there is no possible
esoape for the editor from signal impalement on
the horns of a dilemma. There are but two pos
sible wayB of construing this sentence:—one is
that the Pittsburgh Board of Trade had not taken
np the matter at all—the other is, that though
the Board of Trade might have taken it np, the
subject had not been treated in the “ admirable
spirit manifested in Louisville," and the editor
may take his choice of those interpretations of
his text, bat one of thorn he must stand to. We
defy him, adroit diplomat as be is, to had any
one silly enough to accept any other explanation.
It will not help the editor to get into a pet and
vent epithets. Wo speak whut wo know, when
we say that many, if not all tho JoumaVs read
ers, who take interest in the Board of Trade,
drew from the above sentcnco tho same meaning
that “0. P. Q.” did.
No 000 has accused the Journal of treachery
to the interests of Pittsbargh—bat some have
felt that it has been tardy in maintaining them
in this ca®e—and neglectful in noting what our
Board of Trade had done in the Ohio River Im
provement. The neglect is obvious, from the
paragraph in question—the tardiness is admit*
ted in the expression of this morning’s Journal,
that—“ The morning papers, [of Monday,] with
out exception,” by noticing the Merchants' Ex
change, had “foroibly reminded us-{the oditor
of the Journal ] of our duty in that regard.”
We are bouncT to admit that the reminder
brought out a good articlo in the Journal.
Those interested in the Board of Trade will
doubtless not remember with any unkindness
that it was the last of a sories of good attioles
in oar oity papers in the Bamo behalf.
