And he it further rewired, That it is earnestly desired that the leig standing controlier sy respecting limits in the Oregon , Tertitoey; be speedily' settled by negotiation - and compromise, in order to tranquilize the public mind; and to preserve the friendly relations of the two coun tries." • This appears to' embrace the substance of Mr. Crittenden's resolution, offered about four weeks ago, and to this Mr. C. has signified. his assent,: with . some qualification to the second section. Mr.• Webster has asserted that he will vote for both sections, and espr . essed the opinion that a maictrity of the Senate would.assent to them. Mr, Caffibun is favr'trable to them, as he cunt , iders the pbiuttt in controversy, to hsve 'narrowed down to tile qbes tiori whether the ,Oregon difficulties should be settled by war or by negotiatirin and compromise. The news by the Catnbria, which was at 'first considered pacific, befora sufficient time bad elaps ed to glean from the Ministerial papers in Eng land the state of public' feeling, is now viewed in a different light by those who have C:areinlfY in vestiiated all the facts, and whose positions are such as to give them access to all the blf received: The editors of the National It r cer, whose views are generally correct, sate . , °The general opinion, as we' find it „ xpressed . by persons about. us, and-as we gather itlfrern the most intelligent presses. corroborates w.hat we ventured io say in Tuesday's gaper, that the true aspect of the news recently received is no; one which renders the settlement of difficultieS between the United States and England`more cay. And perhaps iris due to our readers to say that w e do not collect, fr om any current rumor 'o'r general surmise, either that the government of the I, niteel States has received any fayorahle intelligence from MeLanelor that the British Minister lire is in possession of any instructions to renew' efforts for settlement by compromise. INealluded, in Toeseray's..Paper, to the fari i t that Mr. Buchanan', by authority of the Presidetic ; had yefuseelpco offers to adjust the existing disp je by arbitration ; and we expresseil our fears—and those fears are' sincere and deeps-that t there re peated- rejections-could not fail to prod ce in, un favorable impression in England.

Pleasants, immediately Fqfit aieq uest 'to Mr: Ritchie to inert him at a specified place and hour across river from Richmond with side arms. Mr. Richie sent word back that lie could nut con sent. totilittle the affair in that way. 51 , r. Pleas ants then sent him word that the matteqrourt be. settled, and in that way. - Mr. Ritchie thin prepared himself with a revul •yer of six bhrrels, two duelling pistOls.and.a horse man's..vliort sword, and repaired to the place desig- noted, at the time named. • Mr. Pleasants, who had not. arrived, with two (or fourHthere is doubt ribout this) common pis tols aml!a sword-cane. A. friend of Mr. Plenisams approached qtr. Ritehie,'and said ict him, thlt he thought the dttliculty 'Might be settled if the let ter would do one thing, and that was to acknowl edge that he believed Mr. Ple s asants to be .2brave man. Mr. tluebie repliNd that once he c•ou!c]-have - done this; but now, Mr. , Pleasants having 'called him there, and not appearing himself, he could not make such an acknowledgement. Mr. Pleasants' then informed him tharhepresuined ho would have to tight. Mr. 'Ritchie replied, 'very well that he had come there to meet Mr. Pleasants. The friend of the ! latter left the spot and went to his prifici• pal, who was' not far off. Soon after this, Mr. Pleasants appeared approaching Mr. Ritchie, con siderably in advance Of the two friendS who had accompanied him to the spot. As he approached at a rapid pace, Mr. Ritchie. fired successively,. his two duelling pistols, resting each on his, left iirm drawn up in angle for that purpose. He then ' presented his revoltier and fired either four or .five: of its barrels. After he had : fired first upon Mr. Pleasants, the latter drew and fired - thrice without effect, all the time rushing up to Mr Ritchie, and when near enough he struck him with his sword cane, When theatabbard flew off, and Mr. Ritchie, struck up the blade or spear with his short sword —in doing which he received the point of Mr. Pleasant? spear in the corner of hie mouth, cut-. titig upward a-slight gash. Mr. PtasssaTathen fell, having received five "founds from the pistol shots of his antagonist, if not one from his shori-sword. Onl ball raked acios's the back of his left hind, carrying away all the muscles and tendons leading to the finger— another passed through the fleshy part of hiOuft arm, half way up from the elbow to the shoulder —another entered the left breast and ranged round under the arm—a fourth entered the left groin and proved mortal. The fifth wound was in tho right thigh, either by a ball or a thrust from the short svtoid, above alluded to. It is thought to have been from the latter.

SANT♦ FEE AVNEKATION.—Tho St. _Louis Mil , sourian has the followirt letters from Sautal Fee, dated Dec. 26 Being aware that much apprehension has been felt for the situation of American Merchants is this country, we' avail ourselves of the opportunity offered by Messrs. Houck '& Hicks, who leoe - -for Missouri to morrow, to inform you all remains quiet here ; and though in this remote corner we are not informed of the present state of things between the United StateS.and Menico, yet we have ceased to have any apprehension for oursel ves or property. The new Mezicani have gener ally made up their minds that sooner or later they must come under United ,Statds government, and have, apparently, determined to take it quietly. Were the United States now to send a.show of a respectable force. the whole country north or east of the Rio del None would subinit without the slightest resistance. The people evidently expect and I candidlyheliave hope, that this United States will take Potession.• -In any, event, our business and other relations -with the Governor (Annijo) and other principal men, are such that we always feel entirely safe. . • DEMOCRATIC WHIG COUNTY MEETING Agreeably to public notice given by: the Demo cratic Whig Standing Committee of 'Schuylkill County, a very large and respectable number of Whigs assembled in the Court House at Orwigs... burg, on Monday the 4 2nd of March inst., for the purpose of selecting Delegates to the 'Whig State Convention,. to be held on the 11th of March in Harrisburg.

Campbell, Esq., was then called upon to address the meeting, to which' he responded with his accustomed ability, exposing, the deception and humbuggery praais ed upon the r epic , by the leadcr4 ofthe.Loi•o(oco party thiring -the late Presidential canvass, relative to the present TaritT, which elicited the applause of the'lts : -. sembled multitude.. On motion, the J'resident then appointee the following persons as a CoMmince to draft a Pre amble and Resolutions cspressive of the sense of the meeting, viz B. Hannan, J. C.

Batuidn; unaniniusly adop ted Miens as, .The time has :arrived when it is necessary for the people to. assemble. to take into consideration the course which-may be pursued by • the Executive of the 'll...States and the Adininis nation in regard to "the Tariff of 1812. Arid, whereas, from tt.e tenor of the President's 'NI es sage, and the Report of the Secretary of the Trea sury, a very great reduction of the Tariff is cpu template'd, xvhich Will be productive o f great corn`... , III , !lcial embarrassment and dtstress throughout the cm itt:3; that we believe that the proiperous state . of itierctruntry lias.becit the result'of the Tariff of 1312, and that anY,alteration thereof will derange, and confuse all the operations of i.4pital and eall , r a return to: the state of distress and ruin which existed throughout, the country before the passage of that jaw—that ivhile it prostrates the industry aittLinaitufactures Of the country, it will pflect the laborers more injuriously than any other class of the community, and will inevitably havn a. ten dency to reduce their wages'to the Euroireati atan-, dard— that the prosperity of the farmer depends on the _prosperity of the commercial and industrial intcrestS, and,that se soon as the former aro crip pled in their operations, ant the latter of -the re-, ward of their labor,. there is no longer a profitable market; for the fainter. And whereas, we' have seen with what avidity the'contemplated reduction of the English 'Tariff has been laid hold of by the Locofoco Free Trade party, as furnishing an e,- cuse'for the reduction of our Tariff, and the str&s they lay. upon the reduction of the Englitda duty' on the productions of the farmer, and particularly on those articles which cannot he profitably grown in England, as a means to deceive the people.— Arid &areas, it must be manifest to every reflect ing mind, that when England permits foreign prb duce tit .be brought in. a consequent reduction in. the article of food used by the people and opera titres there, must take place, and they will be able to do their work and manufacture cheaper, and consequently we cannot gain any advantage, or even lie placed on an equal fruiting with them, if any redUction of our 'Tariff _ should take place.. Therefore, . ' . Resolved, That we believe it to be the interest of all classes of the community, the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer. the meclianic and the laborer, to stand by the Tariff .of 1842—a measure which was framed by Consummate wisdom, the growth of experience, and'applicable alike Wall the different uterest.4 throUghout the whole country, a measure which in its effect has brought our coun try front rum to an unparolleffed state of prosper ity• .'; , - Resolved, That the present Tara is a measure winch . combincslhe principles of protectin and 'revenue both, that while it 'affords sulfide' ipro tection to all the different interests of the 'olit try, the duiie4 arc suflicient to defray the expenses of our Government. , I Resalthl, That we view with alarm and indig nation the conduct of "Sir" Robert• J. • Walker, the American secretary.of the Treasury in for-. - warding his Anti-'l'uritf Report to England, where it was introduced and ordered to be printed in the House of Lords for the use of the nobthty•of England, before the printed copies were laid on the tables of our members of Congress, a must singular proceeding-and which constrains us to he r hero that the, two , Governments are playing into each otheri•hands, with a view of destroying the Protective Policy ; of this country. Rooked, That it is the 'duty 'of Congress to take 'care of the laboi and industry of the coun try—the Capitittavill take care of itself. Resolved, That the proposed •reduction of the Tariff of 1812 to on ad valorem duty of :30 .per cent on the staple productions of Pennsylvania -by the present Administration, is a fraud on the. people of this (201111110111,calt1), ipasinuctiass Presb . dent'..Polk was !brought before them in the late canvass as in favor of the present Tarn'', and as good. if not a, better Tara man than 'Henry - •", . That we are us much opposetdas ever to the thrice cvenlenined and odious :Sub•Tictou ry, which the p'resent.Atnirdstration is agaih at tempting to force upon the people for the purpose of contruiing the whole monetary power of the country. • I flesuiVed, l'liat B. Bannan, John T.: Werner add Jerilupalt Reed, •b:sq., be a committee to pre pare a memorial tOljougress, against any alters titin of th e e present Twill; and distribute the same for signatures. • Resofecd, That we approve of the course pur sued by the Hun. Alexander Ramsey, our ohm,- biir of Congress, and that we have confidence in nis ability and' integity. • Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, our title to the Oregr teir4ory is clear anif un questionable, but the wtiole question, presents ti Isar Subject for negotiation and comprinuise, and ought not to lead to' a war between civikzed na tions—a war,' which would prove alike ruinous: ai,d disgraceful to . both countries without produ cing any advantages•tu• eithei =but in no acid -are we in furor of ;:any conpromise having fur its ,eject the destruction of the Tariff of 18•1?.. Resolved, That, we are in favor of the distrilm-, tion of the sales of the public-lands among the several States—that as long as they are a source of revenue to the Government, the Tariff is confirm- ally in danger of reduction; and because they of right aro the property of the several States, and it is a measure calculated to relieve the people of the Commonwealth from taxation, &c. Resolved, That Doctor George N. Eckert and Major John C. Lessig, be the Representative Del egates, to represent, this county in the State Con vention, to bit held at Harrisburg, on the I Ith inst., for the purpose of placing iu nomination a suitable ,candidate fur Canal Commissioner, to be support ell at the ensuing'electin, Resolved, Tlaat'Daniel Hill be the Senatorial Delegate to representthis District in said Conven- Resolved, That the Delegates nominated, be em- powered to appoint substitutes in case of their in ability to attend. • After the adoption of the plucecdings J.
