Bpos tbe Ashman amendment, and his own reso

came of difference of opinion among tbe whig* os
to tbe vote and resolutions, but as to tbe course
• proper to be panned. There was no dSpbinikin
•town by tbe wbigs of this city to recede from tbe
, poehlon thiy bold in common with the whigs of
tbe Union; that the war was “unnecessarily begun
end unconstitutionally declared.” There was a
Ptm determination shown to have a satisfactory
explanation of the causes that made it necessary
'fir Mf- Hampton to differ from his constituents;
'from kia whig associates’in Congress; from whig
jStnesmen,'nnd the great whig party of the. coun

of the late tote. Tbe pertinent question was ask

Tbe result of the meeting has been alike honor
able to tbe wbigs and .considerate towards Mr.

been expressed at bis course, and the stem cen

Mr. McKnigbt rose for tbopurpose of replying to
the remarks made by Mr.Frankiln.-He (Mr. M'K)
came here tonight, not for the purpose of censur
ing, but to raise his voice in opposition to any ccn
sura which might be applied to Mr. Hampton. His
1 resolutions did not imply censure upon that gentle-
I man; he had offered them merely for the purpose
| of lettinghfm know that he' differs fh opinion mom
i the whigs of this county, and for the purpose of
1 giving him a chance to explain himself ana he sin
cerely hoped he would-be able to do so. He did
not believe that h loses Hampton had the least idea
of going over to the enemy, and that he would re
pudiate with scorn and contempt the iminstionff
made in the Morning Post of this city.
The question coming up in the second resolution
jffered by Mr. Knox, it was adopted
Mr. Buckmaster wished to make a motion in re
lation to the resolution how pending. The ques
i tiun had taken a wider rahge than had been anti
cipated. His friend, Mr. McKnight had became an
imated, Mr. Knox eloquent, an<TMr. Franklin pa
thetic. IfMr. Hampton was right, he was in favor
of giving him a chance to show it; hut for his part
be did not know how he was going to do it. If he
intended to go over to the enemy, he hoped this
meeting should speak in thunder tones, that we
might never again have a traitor thrust upon us.—
He would therefore move that the resolution be
! laid, upon the table, which motion was carried
lie question was taken on the resolutions oiler

Mr. Campbell in tbe primary meetings -and failing,
he ought, os a good and consistent Whig, and in
justice and fairness,- have yielded to the decision of
tbe people. If he bad never submitted his name
to a Whig Convention, he would have been at lib

To the Select tnd Coamoa Councils! n
- The Committee on the Water Wftrka, reaped*
5.(27 42 fully present the following brief statement of their
\ proceedings for the year 1847:
I.SStI, GO . In pursuance of resolutionsof Councils,contracts
were made for about feOOO feet of malii pipe, to be
.Tf2 VJ laid principally in the Fifth, Sixth. Eigt’h and Ninth
, Wants. Some of these ore laid andthc remainder
are ready to be used/*a scion a* the streets for
: whuih ihev-are dejugn^d- shall be graded, and the
! wciuhcr shall become sufficiently settled to admit
of their being opened. The contracts amount iff
"'.C n after the memorable fire of April, I&JS, it
1 wits decided to replace the four inch pipes in first,
j second und fourth street* with larger ones, but os
i there is now a-full supply the larger nn-sns
; laid m the year IMO on Gram, Water and I'enn
street*. tin: Commilee dd not believe there is any
immediate necessity for the change, but would re
commend tbat the connection across Wood street
; be made wherever they do not exist. '
Alsout three.'months ago a flaw was discovered
in each of the cylinder* ol'tbe Water Work*, and it
extended so rapidly in the right hand cylinder, a*
to render it neee*sary to replace it by a new one,-
and at the same Ume ;l was thought expedient to
niuic «otnc other alterations in the engines which
the Committee expected would render them more
efficient without materially increasing the con*ump
non (/f fuel, and tt is believed that the left hand
cylinder can be repaired after the new one is put
m operation, which is contracted to be ready by the
first of Feburary. An appropriation has been made
todelray part of the expense of this alteration
which will cost 4,400 dollars, but the balance will
require a further appropriation by the next Coua-,
. The cost at permanent extension# of the work#
fur the year 1647, according to the statementof the
superintendent, not including pipes on hand, but

Them has been counted and destroyed duriug
the past year, tom and defaced scrip to the amount
of 817,000, which has Iwett replaced by new scrip
tigrccably to the various ordinances of Councils on"
tlir subject.
A* there is now n considerable demand for real
estate in the city, the Committee-would recommend
tho sale of the lots on the Allegheny River, and
Grant street, formerly occupied liy the engines and
: reservoir, uud the application of tho proceeds to
the redcmtion of the scrip issued for the construe
tiun of the works.
The removal to the Allegheny Water Works of
Mr, K, M.xrrc, wlm ha* had the supcrinlendenee
of tho ' v °rks from their commencement, was
thought to oflern good opportunity for mating o
clmiipi m their management, by Operating the du
lies of superintendent and engineer, thereby pro
moling their efllciency and increasing the revenue
derived from them. In pursuance of tho ordinance
on tins subject it will devolve upon the new Com
mitee, more clearly to define the duties of their
officers, utid to select a suitablo rtom for theoffico
of the works, which may nlsa be used'for the meet*
ing of the standicgcoinifiitlees of councils.
When the contemplated reduction is made in
the grades of Filth, Grant, Wiley, ami adjoining
