MR. POLK AND THE WILMOT PROVISO.
The interesting letter of ourVashing

sew and eventing derefornerd in rela•
thin to the intrigete wad thtplicity of Mr.
Polk on the tdexiceoquestion, It seems
that Mr; Stephen*, in she course of his
epeecti f oit'itettereption and want of good
faith Wheel) hest wheracterized the official
coupe qi / ~the Propidont. mentioned, that
while this three itriftiesirbili was pending in
the-liotise; Mr. Polk urged Mr. Wilmot
to withdraw kin prohibition of slavery.
which,, jeopardised the Bill and the nego
tietiona.for .pe.are. Mr. W. intimated his
wllllegnosts, , to effect his object in some
otbir,mocle, if one was open to hint: and
thq.,,l resitleut. expressed his approbation
of the,Proviso, if passed in t h e furso of a
joint resolution.
„Wjaett.Alr. Wilmot obtained the floor,
he explained as follows : We adopt the
report of the New York Tribune :
"He (Mr., \V.) called upon the l'resi
ditninosne two years since, in reference to
hit famians Proviso, upon an intimation
thai tile 'President wished to confer with
' Mr. Polk opened the subject by in-'
Itirmiag Mr. W. of his deep anxiety for
thajaessage of the Three Million bill, and
sivits- , that lie considered the Proviso the
0., o
gre.:(,sibstacle to such passage. Mr. W.
t.i.rintrred that he doubted whether the ap
proPriation of Three Millions of Dollars
for ,the • avowed purpose of enabling the
President to make Peace would rather im
pede than facilitate a Treaty, being reward
ed is an attempt to bribe time Mexican ru
lers). Mr. Polk replied, rather forcibly,
Aar isr Was probably better informed- on
that subject than Mr. IV. could well be,
as he had frequent communication with
alit leading personages in Mexico. Mr.
Wiltnot then said that ho had no desire to
embarrass the Adminiitration, nor to pro.
tenet the War ; amid that, if lie weld .be
sure,of accomplishing in some other way,
thejireat end of prohibiting the extension
ofSlaiWry, be w ould choose that otlier Way.'
Ile'would its soon put the Proviso the'
farm of -a joint resolution and peewit hi

The last intelligence from California

You would he, surprised; that in this A",
pion an enthusiaWm mkt be excited by
any thing. The gold mines in thii neigh

galvanic activity. This little village is

..To give von some idea of the state of
things here, I will mention the 'prices of a
few of the necessaries'of life. Flour has
been selling at MO per barrel, pork 70
cents per llb., brandy $6O per gallon, and
washing SO to $8 per dozen, and moat oth
er things in proportion.
"The officers are becoming nervous and

"I trust 1, will not take it into his head
to emigrate. Gold hunting is a most dan

ally frightful among the diggers, and the
poor beggarly looking creatures returning
from the mines have no doubt paid dear

PRAYER AT A BALL.—The Springfield

considerable excitement in the village of
Easthampton on the subject of dancing,—

New INDIAN COVENNMENT.—The tribe
of Seneca Indians held a convention
,in Erie county, N. Y., on the Cattai

which they returned thanks to their white
friends for - the efforts they had made to
improve their condition, and requested a
continuance of them. They also abolish

Senecas to be imbued with the doctrines

SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT CAM-A
German boy, only about ten years of age,
wanted Jacob Faber, was arrested in Phil
adelphia, on Saturday, charged with at
tempting to steal a peice of cloth from the
front of a store. The lad, when confront
ed with his father, persisted in asserting
that he had been taught to steal the article.
The father, John Faber r , denied all knowl
edge of the boy's conduct. flu stated, at
first, that he was not in the vicinity of the
place of the attempted larceny, on Friday
afternoon, but afterwards acknowledged
that he was down town for the imrpose of
purchasing a file. The boy, who is quite
an interesting child, said his father stood
st the corner; waiting fur him to commit
the theft, and ready to sieze upon the pion-
He also declared that his parent had
done this in numerous instances. The
lather's premises were searched, when a
large quantity of goods, consisting of cloths,
Ate.; both'cut end in whole pieces, Carpets,
pickles •in jars. hams, and various other
things, and ,amounting in value to over

vilf we were to venture a speetdation as

that he might do his part in averting from
the country the dangers that threaten from
the agitation of certain question which al
ways creite'hitterness in' the public mind.
• “As to arty paltry f,..elings of resentment

FIRE —On Nunday morning, about 3 o'clock,
our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by
the try of Fite! The flaking-house of Mr. CON
RAD IVeavza , in Obamberaburg street, wee
found to be enveloped in flames; so much ao r • ae
to leave scarcely a taupe of using it, and placing
the adjoining buildings in great danger—but
through theezertions of our citizens, favored by
the calmnetts of the morning, the fire was prevent
ed from 'lipreading. The Bake.house. however,
was entirely destroyed, together with nearly all
the building contained. The loss is considerable,
partly coveted by insurance.—Compiler.
ANOTHER WARNING!—The alarm of
fire on Saturday morning was caused by the burn
ing of a wooden vessel in the stable of Mr Wil
liam Witherow, in which ashes had been placed a
few days previously—under the impression, how
ever, that " they were perfectly dead," as the term
goes. Our citizens cannot he too careful with this
fruitful instrument of loss—hot ashes. Carelessness
with it cannot he too strongly condemned. -Ib.
LEGISLATIVE.--The most important mat
ters before the Legislature during the past week,
were the Bills to repeal the law granting the right
of way to the Erie and Ohio Canal Company, and
to authorize the eompletioneof the North Branch
Canal Company. We believe the former bill
has now passed both Houses, having passed the
Senate some weeks since. On Monday, a tele
graphic dispatch to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives was laid before the House, from
the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representa
tives, stating that resolutions protesting against
the repeal of the right of way had passed the Le
gislature of that State, and declaring the intention
of Ohio to resort to measures of retaliation in case
the right of way should be denied.
On Monday, in the House, pending the eon-
sideration of the North Branch Canal bill, a per
sonal discussion arose between Mr. Cooper and
Mr. Biddle, in relation to the minority report of
the latter gentleman, presented a few days pre
vious. It appears that Mr. Cooper's report bad
been shown to the Executive by Mr. Biddle, to
learn his views, and the Governor Objecting to
parts of it, a minority report was drawn upto cor
respond with the Executive wishes. Mr. Coop
er alluded to these proceedings in very severe
terms.
A number of petitions hare been presented to
both Houses, asking • repeal of the Charter of
of the York and Cumberland Railroad Company.
In the House, on Monday, Mr. Smith, from
the Judiciary Committee, reported back the Home
stead Exemption Bill, passed in the Senate, with a
recommendation that it be negatived.
In the Senate, on the same day, the bill exempt.
ing the 7th dvy Baptists from the penalties impo
sed by the existing law for the non-observance bf
the Sabbath or first day of the week, was passed
by a vote of 13 to 11.

' There is no excuse under heaven for shirking this
subject, and those who are caught in it should be
set down as unworthy of their trust, and unfaith
ful to the great Interests of thotie whom they un
fortunately misrepresent. The chances of a post
age reform are, we are sorry to say, every day
growing less. One twentieth part of the time
that has been consumed in disgraceful personal
scenes would have been sufficient to accomplish
this reform. Those who are suffering under •
high postage tax should keep their eye on the ene

We hope that its friends will make another ef
fort to.get op this bill, and demand the yeas and.
nays upon proceeding to its consideration. Let
us bare the names of the men who Tote against a
reform so loudly demanded by the people, and
then let the Press from Maine to Georgia make
common cause against them. Let us see who
will hare the hardihood to encounter the storm of

THE TARIFF. QUESTION—The tariff
question, it appears, is not to be touched-lay Con
gress in the way of revision this session. jci-or
respondent of the New York Courier says a it is
not proposed to frame • bill this session, because
there is not time enough loft fur the task ; and, if
submitted, it would be rejected by the Senate, but
that several gentlemen, largely' coneemed in the
manufacturing interest in different Stites, conven
ed hero during the past week, for the purpose of
laying before the Committee of Ways and Means,
a variety of valuable information respecting the
present tariff, the system practised under it by
foreign manufacturers and their agents, and its op-1
eration upon domestic industry. 'l'ho result of
this conference was a direction by that committee
to Mr. Hudson, of Massachusetts, to prepare a
general report on the subject of the tariff. He
expects to complete it by the close of the week.— ,
It will, in the main, recommend the substitution
of specific for ad valorem duties, and the adoption
of a scale of moderate duties, sufficient to protect I
American liMor against the pauper competition of
Europe.
Gen. Taylor's Cabinet.
It is well understood that the lion. John M.
Clayton has been offered the post of Secretory of
State, in the new administration—indeed, it may
be considered as announced utficially ; but beyond
this, nothing positive in yet known In the Sew
York Tribune of Tuesday, we find the following
despatch from Mr. Greyly :
WASIIINOTON, Feb. 19, 1919.
Mr. Crittenden has consented to be the
Attorney General in Gen. Taylor's cabi
net. Mr. Clayton has accepted the post
of Secretary of State. Repdrt says that
Gen. Taylor has selected fun. George
Evans, of Maine. as Secretary of the
Treasury, and Caleb B. Smith, of Indiana,
for Postmaster General; Bailie Peyton for
the TVar Department, and Thomas Butler
King' for the Navy. Another rumor is
that the Secretaryship of the Treasury
will be given to Hon. Truman Smith.
We regard this as mere supposition. Some of
the names mentioned may prove to ho correct, but
as a whole, the statement has no authority.
The Prhafers.
Governor Johnston has lately shown his ap
preciation of the printers of Pennsylvania, bt ma
king several appointments from amongst this
clans of citizens. The Lancaster Intelligencer
(Locofoco) in remarking upon these a ppotmnonui,
says No class of men more richly deserves
the honors of their party, when it has them to be
stow, than the conductors of newspapers. In sea
,son and out of season, in sunshine and in storm,
through good and evil report, they are compelled
to tug at the oar of politics, and uphold the prin.
ciples and candidates of their party. Not May do
they manufacture what are termed distinguished
men'—often from no great abundance of the
raw material—but the press is the ladder on which
the latter clime to fortune, fame and power. How
often, alas, is the ladder cavalierly kicked away by
the climber the moment he has reached the summit!
We honor an administration, therefore, be it Deur
cratio or Whig, that honors its editors."
Dk. UNION AT THE SOLI'CH.—The ad
dress of Mr. Calhoun is received with the utmost
coldness at the South, and in some 'quarters with
the most decided disapprobation. It finds no
echo in the Southern heart, and the entire move
ment is as freely regretted there, as it is condemn
ed at the North. Our brethren of the South ap
preciate as highly our priceless Union, as we do
of the North, and swords even cannot dissever it.
The New Odium. Bee of the 941 inst;.'s leading
Southern journal, in commenting upurt the address
of Mr. Ualhoun, uses the following eloquent sod
forcible language, and such, indeed, is the tone of
a majority of the Southern press. .
4 ' Before the disunionist, can carry out
their incendiary schemes, they must over
come the stern and manful operations of
the stern friends of the Union who abide
among them. They must beat down and
destroy their own brethren—slaveholders
like themselves, loving the South and her
institutions with filial regard, but loving
and venerating above all, this glorious and
united republic. If swords are to be
drawn and muskets shouldered for the
purpose of dissolving our Union, there
will be found in the South itself thousands
of gallant souls prepared to resist the ag.
gressor,.and to defend our great political
compact, even un to death. We tell Mr..
Calhoun and hi s associates,. that,beyond
the Confines 61'04 State where - h is ivill ii
lititr l ihelittblio opinion of the South is a
gainst, hit* legislatiV6 resolves, and pro.
testa squinting atttistolution to the contra
,ry notwithstanding. The .South has no
affection for the Wilinot ProViso,anttriews
the aggressions of the North with an on:
friendly eye, but the evils that may result
from these contemplated inroada'upon our
rights are a thousand fold more endurable
than' the' woes unnumbered which appal
the imagination at the prospect of disunion.
The South will have none of Mr. Cal
houn's desperate remedies. With Daniel
Webster she exclaims—. The Union—
now and forever—one and inseparable."'

A pair of incidents have come to our
knowledge respecting the Chippewa In•
Aliens, now sojourning in this city, which
are an cha!actotisitic of the,, met :141 we
annot iisfrain frdn► pieientini thern'O) otir
readers. .
'rhe first' df 'there has reference Waite
o 1 the wOineli,*hose minis is 'Pant-ma =

tong her only infant, aged about six months.
Oa the arrival of the party, in Pitiledelphia,
Mo child was suddenly taken sick and died.
The grief of the tnether .knew no bounds,
avid fel-several entire days did she hang o
ver the child, ever and anon giving utter
deed' to a monotonous wail, and decking
its head with all the ornaments in her pos.
session. All this was noticed by Major
Materatt, who conceived the idea of ha.
stings' daguerreotype likeness taken of the
child and, this having beets acconiplished,
the child was &spooned in a vault and the.
likeness given to the toothier.
On Mmulay night last, while one of the
chiefs composing the Chippewa delegation
was relating a story to the writer of this
article, anti in the presence of the entire
party, an allusion was made to the nature
of death, which calmed the childless moth
arena her husband, as they at together
upon the floor, to how their heads stud
weep, The story proceeded, but we
watched with intense interest the move
ments of the bereaved mother. Then it
weeded we saw her take from her bosom
(ss if unconscious of the company present)
the portrait alluded to, and, as she pressed
it couvulsitrely to her lips a number of
times. she accompanied each movetoent
by this exclamation : "Oh, my poor child !
my poor chill!" She then handed the
picture to her husband, and, as his keen
black eye suddenly filled with tears, he
also kissed the picture a number of times,
nod, returning it to his wife, he turned his
face towards the story-teller, as if entlea- -
Toeing to folluw hint, while the wife im
mediately dropped her needle and hid her
face in the lap of her husband.
A more touching picture of grief than
this we have never witnessed; but Major
Martell tells us that iv hat we saw is only
a repetition of what he haw seen a great
ninny times einre he left Philadelphia.—
The unhappy parents. he tells us, are al
ways the first to awake in the morning,
and they never resume their daily duties
without first putting their heads together
over the previous picture fur the purpose;
of uttering an incoherent prayer. The
one idea which seems to absorb the mind
of the benighted Indian mother is this,
that she mity yet return to Philadelphia,'
end upon her own back carry the remains I
of her offspriug to the Kuria!-place alter
fathers in the remote wilderness.
The second invident to which we have I
alluded is of a very different character from
the above, and is as follows : Five mem
bers of the liolian party already mention
ed lately went out Itt the afternoon to enjoy
an airing. They strayed over the Lung;
Bridge across the Potomac, and, having
linen treated with a comfortable glass of
liquor by some kind friend, they continued
their walk until they reached a pleasant
wood on one of the bills looking down up.
on the Potomac. They had their bows
auJ arrows with them, and succeeded iu
killing a rabbit and two or three small birds.

few boughs over their heads, and there en
joyed u sound sleep until the morning.—
They returned to the city on the 1011 owing
day, apparently greatly Lenellted by their

who returned from the City on the lath
inst., with his fourth stock of WINTER
GOOD, this season. Persons who haus
purchased from him this winter have ad-
witted that he sells Clothing cheaper than .
they have ever been bought anywhere be
fore ; and the fact that he has returned
the fourth :ime this season with a large
stock of Clothing, shows plainly that he
sells a great many, and that, too, very low
and with small profits. This is no idle
talk of the Printer, because he is paid for
his advertisement. It is the truth, and
therefore we say you can obtain, or rather
save, the "precious metals," by purchasing
from him, without going to California. A
ny person can satisfy himself of the fact
by giving him a call.
'File assortment embraces every thing in
the way of Boys' and Men's wear, find
