' Mach lese feeling, id rej&iiou to the Scnp, was
evident yesterday, than tbe day previous. Many
ol our mechanic* and and mer
chants still tako it at par for goods, and some give
change, where a reasonable amount is purchased-
The councils of thii|city are acting promptly in the
matter, and the colpucib of Allegheny will meet
this evening, and vdill doubtless take some action
in the premises.
Tbe greatest di Acuity m the whole matter, is
the present mean' enience to which the commu
nity is subjected, at It is abundantly safe to those
who can afford to held it. The taxes of the two
cities, and of the County, water reals, dec., will
absorb it rapidly, and much of II will, no doubt, be
exchanged for city bonds.
Tbe charge of Judge Parrott, in the resurrection
case, wbicb{ibe reader will find in another column,
is an eloquent production, and does honor both
to the head and beatl of ita author. It wfll be
read by ail with pleasure and profit.
We take this occasion to remark, that Judge
Panful's course, oflale, as evinepd by hu charges
and decisions, has been such as to commend him
to*the thanks and esteem of the in*
telligent portion of the community. His wise, just,
firm, and conservative course has been of essential
benefit alreacy, and we tfu*t will be felt in years
to eome. An upright, firm, and judicious Judge,
in the Court of Quarter Sessions, is truly, and we
eay, emphatically, “u terror to evil doers,” and the
influence of his decisions is widely felt.
PußOlso Tit c Dewccoacy —We watch the pro
gress of tbe &l»rtury, ia its arduous work of purg
ing the Locofocb parly, m this county, from its
“load of filth aad rubbish," with no little Interest,
and we shall not fail to keep our readers well post
ed op in the movemeuts intended to promote so
desirable an eod.
That paper, of yesterday, contains a communi
cation pouring hot shot mto Uie Pan, and hitting
hard in other quarters Weinke an extract.
“ In the first place, a set of tenegades from all
kinds of factions have crept in amongst us , they
ore made rrc lusty* Icadrcf of the party, and they
have led it into all sorts of extravagancies and
inconsistencies. In the next place, the elements
of Agrarianism. Fourierism aodAbo|juoDtara have
been suffered to enter *o largely into the coropo-'
eition and doings of the party, sqd xitme of it* or
garu hereabouts have manifested snch a warn
sympathy for transgressors of the late t and violators
of uu peace of society, that, although 1 hove cot been
driven entirely from its ranks, find although I con
sider myself as good as most of i‘S leaders,who were
good whiga but a few short year* ago, yet for some
time past, I have stood aloof, and have bad tiei>
ther lot nor part m it* proceedings, and I can
point you oat hundreds of other* in the same sit
uation."
This is plain talking, and hits right home. What
• organ it refers to, it is not difficult to determine*
but we would like it better if those engaged m
this work of purification would speak rtght out,
and when they mean the Post, say so. Howev
er, wc claim no right even to advise in this mat
ter, os it is no concern of the glorious Whig par
ty.-*m whose fortunes, whether prosperous or
adverse, it has been oor life long pride and pleas
ure to share.—except in that, general sense of,
viewing with satisfaction ihe improvement end
purification of any party or assoaation-
The writer, irom whom we take the above ex
tract, has a very significant postscript, in which a
deeply interesting question a propounded to the
editor for solution. When he solves the problem
we may tell our reader*.
FOR CILTPORBI&.
The St. Louis Republican of April 10, contain
several items of interest in refiireace to the emi
gration to California. On the 1 Oth the AUftros left
that city for St Joseph, with 300 California emi
grants on board. The John Hancock, Embassy,
Algonia, St. Ange. and several other steamers then
ifi port, bad more orU , j*s on l*oard. It was compu.
ted that no teas than f>oo persons would leave that
city on the 1 oth, destined h>r the gold region.
in the throe days previous to the 10th over cms
thousand persons had arrived id St Louts, from
different quarters, bound fir tbo gold regions, and
several boats were due from the Ohio, loaded with
passengers for the same destination.
The increased number of boatnnow plying on
the Missouri nver. has produced a great scarcity
of pilots acquainted with the navigation of that
stream, and good ones are almpAt impossible to be
obtained. The most exorbitant wages are asked
uy from $3OO to 450 for the trip to Sl Joseph
oeeupyisg osually less thaa ten days.
A correspondent of the Republican, writing from
Independence,of date April 5, cayß that for miles
around small companies are in camp, patiently
awaiting a sufficiency of gross to enable them to
start upon their jonroey of golden expectation.
The supply of moles is good. American sell at
from $55 to 65,as in quality. Wy Inferior-Span*
iab moles have been sold at $35, while others, suit'
able for the trip, will range from $lO lo 15.
The following paragraph is significant.
“Some of the hoys have seen the elephant, and
intend returning; others are already eo roate
fat turns. Some have attempted to whip the “tiger.”
but instead, have been fleeced of their all, and an*
able to obtain an outfit. This place affords every
facility for gambling, and thv mlsuspectiog, before

The following is aaja&Tacft of a letter from a
Pittsburgher, to his friend in this city>—
Panama, 17th March, 1849.
1 have bad a very pleasant passage so far, from
New Orleans, on our way here. We stopped one
day in Kingston, Jamaica, Feb) and arrived
al Chagres on the 3d Marob. all welL Chagres is not

the United Slates: It.ls situated on toe sea shore, in
a hay,at the mboth cf ibefcChagres river, sur
rounded by high mountains, basing plenty of good
water, we left Chagres (four of Us) in a canoe,
on the 4th Feb. for Gorgoni, a toall town on the
Chagres river, from thence, oiler a stay of two
days, we made a start across the Isthmus, about
twenty-five miles, to Panama. We hired natives—

beautiful town; theboutes araibostljr built of stone

inhabitants, and every thing was very cheap here
until the Americans began to travel this way,

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gaxeue
Wash tire row, April 14, 1849.
The venerable editor of tbe Union comes out this
morning with another doleful plaint. The grief </
the father this time proceeds frorfi tbe political ex- |
tinction of his friend McCalla, Second Auditor. He j
0 in sore tribulation because his friend was and is !
not an office, and be will not be comforted 1
His jeremiad over this lamentable event is stogu* i
lariy pathetic, and hfe agony Is piled up to a very j
unusual height. But the pile is constructed in
artistica! and takiag manner. Be first takes a por. j
lion of one of my letters, in which I promise more |
effective work in the great task of personal refor
mation in the civil departments of government)
which promise, by the way, has been amply re
deemed, already. Then be extracts something to
the same purport from another Whig paper; then
he throws into the caldron a suitable sprinkling of
his own indignation at such monstrous sentiments’
and finishes off the mixture, or to resume the imag.
cry with which my description started, he caps the
pyramid of horrors, by an account from some de
mocratic focal organ of the sacrifice of cer
tain ionocent disciples in some <»ji*iotn house,
light hoose or post office. They were all cut off as
clear as Malcolm's babes.
All ray preity ones and their dim
Thu dismissal of McCalla is truly an awful dis
pensation. He is the shine individual who made
himself so particularly conspicuous in the late can*
vass in making speeches about the country for Cass
and Butler, in presiding over Democratic meetings
in the District and its vicinity, in getting up a*d
managing minor Democratic organizations, and in
harraaguetng the Democratic club here, called the
Jackson Association. Ee should not have remain
ed ia office 24 hoars alter Gen. Taylor’s inaugura
tion. He slaked hi* office upon the issue of ths
contest, like .Brown# the Post Office, Burke of the
Patent Office, and hundreds of others who might
be nameiLSi conspicuous here sod in all the states
of the Union, for impertinent and officious elec
tioneering, and shameful neglect of duty while pur
suing the business of mere partisans. But he does
not resign, but on the contrary, as it has been ru
mored, specially requested, that he might be retain
ed in office until September Dext. However that
tn»y be, he desired to visit his lady who lay ill in
Virginia. He sent a note to Geu. Taylor, stating
tbe necessity for hi* absence, and requesting that
the Chief Clerk, Mr. Polk, should be authorized to
act in his stead, while he was detained. General
Taylor iimnfdiately, with his own hand, wrote a
note giving him tbe required leave of absence and
complying with his request as to Mr. Polk's acting.
These incidents were mere matters of course, ex
cept tbe ready courtesy of Gen- Taylor, in sending
immediately a special a special answer to Mr. Mc-
Calla's reqqpsL
He went io Virginia, staid nme days, and when
about to set out on his return, was mformed by a
telegraphic despatch, that Mr. Clayton, of Georgia,
bad arnved and entered upon the duties of tbe of
fice Of Second Audttor. Mr. McCalla well knew
lhat the lender of the office he held had been made
to Judge Clayton more than a month ago, and prob
ably well kdew that he had aceepted it. Now,
how can ooe repress his contempt at the idea of
such a man, so circumstanced, raising a howl in
the news papers about proscription ? And when
Father Ritchie's cases of proscription come tube
analyzed, they will be oil found to have about Ihe
same foundation as this of Mr McCalla.
There are some other curious stories,illustra.li re
of the magnanimity of Democratic office-holders-
It is said of Major Claiborne, ol La., that be has
held the nidation of agent to preserve live oak
timber in that state, through the whole of Polk’s
administration, and now throws it up and reports
that u is a sinecure, and ought to be abolished. U
is supposed that had there not been a strong prot>-
abOity of his being superceded, his conscience
would not havopneked and spurred him on to act
upon Ibis opinion. Another case is given. CoL
Gwinn, formerly a member of Congress, and I be
lieve the same man whom Geo. Jackson persisted
in making and keeping Marshal of Mississippi, in
defiance of the rejection of the Senate, wiLhal 1
may say. personally a very clever and popular
man, has tor a number of yean held the place of
Commissioner to superintend tbe building of the
Custom House at New Orleans,* salary per
annum. He wanted to go to California, and jail,
about inaugnratioQ day he too discovered that the
office was a sinecure, and ib.-ew it up. A Whig
President having been chosen, then “honor pneks
them on," to tell the truth, and if need be,shame
the devil; but had Cass been elected, no one sup
poses that their honor would have pneked them so
closely as to have loosened their hold upon the
dogs of the Treasury.
The cabinet had a very long session to-day it
is rumored that Mr. Lawrence, Collector of New
York, has scat on an intimatioo that he means to
resign, and that he desires to be relieved as quick*
ly as possible- If the report be true, no doubt the
rcabinet were engaged some time in conversing the
claims and qualifications of the many different can
didates.
It is said, too, with much probability that the re
cent disturbing and exciting news from Europe,
foreshadowing so clearly the breaking out of a
general war on that devoted Continent has engag
ed the anxious deliberations of the government—
We have nothing in particular to do with (heir
quarrels except to provide for the protection of
our commerce, and to cause a doe respect to be
paid by all the conflicting parties lo our rights os
neutrals in the coming strtfe. It is well known
bow desperately these interests suffered in the
wars which followed the French revolution. It is
well to guard against such contingencies now.

Correspondence ot dir P.usourgh Gazette.
Nsw Yoax, April 14.
The week doses with little to make it remem
bered, if' the Clay birth day celebration is left out
of view. The events of the evening of the Titfa,
illustrated the apt remark of oad of Pittsburgh's,
most distmguiihed citizens, who, in welcoming the
venerable Statesmaa to the “Iron City,' 1 said the
city’s guest waited not until death had separated
him from the world to have Come award him his
proper meed of praise. He received it warm from
the undivided heart of a whole nation. So, on bis
hirthnight, the old fire was kindled, and the oldest*
truest, and most devoted Whiga rivalled each olh*
er in the desire to show bow warmly their hearts
beat the old chieftain. It is a memorable fact
that the birthdays of two Statesmen only are cele
brated in the United Stales, that of Washington
and Henry Clay. Their constant virtues have
given them.a hold upon the hearts af the people
that have filled to be secured by the achievements
of all other men.
The week closes with a better feeling m money
matters, and borrowers have favors granted upon
easier terms than one and a half per cent a month.
An arrangement has been mane by the Secretary
of the Treasury to anticipate the payment of anoth
er million a/jthe Indemnity, due in June*
The fifst draft has been paid, and the Sub-Treasu
ry relieved of $334,000 to-day. Stocks have felt the
impulse of speb an addition cf coin lo the curren
cy, and are higher. As the wants of merchants
are now small for duties, this coin will keep id the
banks longer than when Mr. Walker released it,
and give subataptial relief.
The “flying machine" is to be tested again next
week. A working model, stxieeu fee; long, pro
pelled by MOo small engines, has beeo built, and
the navigation of “still air” will be accomplished.—
Of this there is no-dbubi,but whether freight and pas
sengers can he carried, is to be the result of ex
periments extending into the next century.
New York Hatters, 'at least the journeymen,
have gone qhjttfteraxy at what they call the abuse
of the apprentice system. All establishment* that
have over tare* are declared “foul,” and no jour
neymen allowed to work there- It will soon be
all over, labor must submit to the universal
law of supply and demand. People will continue
to wear hats, and the workmen who have been
used aa catipaws, will return Htf men to
their work.
A good deal of feeling hat been caased here by
the movenHUtt on the part of Philadelphia to tap
the Erie roan at Port Jervis. Such a step would
injure New York, and have a tendency to divert
trade from the Central Pennsylvania route.—
The distance in point of cost on freight would be
oonridersbiytcheaper, and the scheme ts thus given
on importance in the muds of merchants.
Messrs- Fox. fie Livingston have taken poases-
steamship building for the Havre Line,
by the Ooean Steam Company, and will have the
line ia operation. They are entirely conversant
With the Havre trade, and thq mortifying failures
of the other routes win not be experienced here..
The completion of this enterprise will make the
American Steam Marine equal to tt-a: of John 8011,

T l '" Pit™* yon are aware 1 naed
q o mg e objection of another gentleman, but
regarding it as tantamount to the idea contained
in tha above quotations from your rev.cw, 1 chose
to answer boih under the same head. These quo
tations look to me also very much like an assertion
that the study of the physical sciences has a ten
dency to produce materialism and infidelity. You
aay that you restricted this charge to the ereiusivt
pursuit of these stadiea But if Humboldt's ency
clopedia of modern science recognizes no God,
and if you find msierialism m nil the works aud
treatises on natural science, would there not be
danger in introducing any of these works into h
coarse of education' You would probably admin
ister physicr in minute quantities, and rely for the
counteraction of the poison ou large doses ol meta
physics. I could quote other passages from your
review,of the same tenor a* those above, but these
are probably snfficienl to justify me for having at
tempted a defence.
\ou remind me of your statement that you place
very Itttle value on any merely Intellectual pursuit
not even on theology itself, ns a means of moral
cultivation. This would seem to militate againit
the assertion or any grent moral advantage from
the studies of the ancient languages and metaphy
sics, which in olaer places you maintain. Ido not
however agree with vour statement, and am not
disposed to lake advantage of ycur admission iu
the genernl argument. ii seems to me that no
man can thoroughly-understood the laws of minJ
and matter without seeing that moral law is woven
io the plan of the universe. And no man can be
in true sympathy with nature, without shrinking
from any violation of her laws, as a Violence done
to his own being, his lrue.bowever. that as Ho»-
aical and professional studies have 100 generally
been conducted, they have but little influence to
lead men either to ncture or to God. The courte
is one too moch of conventionalism and constraint.
We cannot see nature aright through colored gi&*-
aes, nor converse with her in prescribed or bor
rowed language. Dor serve her .n a straight jack
et. Ail her children are simple, honest and free —'
You make one remark which cover* ’ne whole
ground of my argument on the charncter of natu
ral studies. I did aot notice it m myjlate reply, be
cause it is so directly opposed to the geoerol course
of your reasoning, and 1 thought t*. foirer to confine
myself to tbe tenor of your view*. You *ny io
your revtefr, “Creation, with all its harmony of ar
rangement and beauty, is but mi effect of mind,
shall we not then nudy tbe wondrous cause 7 **—
All that I had consumed pages in saying is here
tersely expressed in ttu* admirable sentence. But
bow, my dear sir, Wo"!d rou B udy n caul! better
than in its effect, especially that moat *ubtle of all
®stises, mind* And it toe Studv of creation ia the
study of the Creator, would you not be inclined to
admit that this tiudy, at lea.-t, may tiave a direct
moral influence on the mind aud heart? Bo thought
the devout Lmneus when be inscribed over the
entrance to his cab-net in which were preserved
the beautiful forms ot vegetable and insect life—
CAVX, DEUS aDESI laft heed, God u here.
Your remark upon the German origin ol my ideas
and tbe heathenism of that people, n quite too
much for an assertion, quite too little tor an argu
ment, and therefore if 1 may be permuted to re
turn your own compliment, you bad better have
left it unmade. But you certainly ought not to de
spise gathering a few ideas from tbe bmaplnre of
the Reformation, the country where your fovgrite
studies of the classics and ineiaphvsic* are more
fully cultivated than in any other part nf Christen
dom. Bear in mind, Ido not use that word in y«ur

And 1 seriously declare ilmt sever,«i year* re-.-

infidelity prevails there, it is owing lo the cultiva

adopt your own rcasomug on ibis subject, and
simply object to your conclusion. ‘'Science." you
say, “is the comparison of phenomena, and tbe dis
covery of their agreement or disagreement, and
exists in the mind. If it exist in the tmod. bow
then can it be made an instrument io traiamg the
mind? Manifestly, by directing the mental powers
lo the oomparison of phenomena, and tbe marking
of their agreement or disagreement. This i» the
whole process of education. What phenomena
jught first to be presented 1 * Oar sense* will of
:oarsc direct us first to those ofthe external world,
and with these we will term our first acquaintance.
But we cannot generalize nor reason without the
use of language; at least, without its aMisiaoce.
we canQOt-communicate our thoughts und conclu
sions to others. Language may, therefore, be con
sidered os the vehicle of thought and the instru
ment of reasoning, and conseqiiently.it ought tube
the first to every system of education.” lour
definition of science ts too scanty. but with your
reasoning Iso far agree. “Science is the compar
ison of phenomena, and the discovery of their
agreement or disagreement,' and “is to be made
an instrument in traiaiog the mind by directing the
mental powers to the comparison of these phenom
ena,” &c- "This ia the whole workjofeducation.”
You next admit that the phenomena of the exter
nal world are those with which we form our first
acquaintance. No ingefimty could have framed
an argument mote conclusive that tbs study of'aa
lurel science is precisely fitted for the early train
ing of the mind.- Why (ben are you uot willing to
let us follow the course which <n»d has marked
out in the beslowment of our 1 tculues, and first
study these phenomena which we can first com.
prebend? What powerful reason can you have
for so flatly contradicting yourself? Let me write
your strange continuation. “Bat the physical sci
ences ore rather to be studied at objects of knowl
edge, not as means of training the mind. There
are eome things which it would be well for us to
study jast for the mental discipline, even though
we might forget them in a very short ume. Phy
sical science does not belong to these: its chief value
consists in the principles and facts remembered.”
[confess myself baffled by the cross currents of
this reasoning. 1 cannot follow iL It cannot be,
because tbe facta with which physical science has
to deal, first engage the attention and are brought
within the comprehension of the youthful miud,
that she be denied the benefit of training her pow
ers of comparison, &c., by reasoning upon iht>tw
facts. That would be a direct ahsurdity. Second
ly, You will not infer that siace some studies, not
useful as objMp of knowledge, arc useful for men
tal discipline, therefore the pursuit of physics! -cl
oaca being useful as an object of knowledge, is not
useful for mental discipline. I shall not accuse
you of having fallen iolo a sophism so shallow o«
this. Lastly, you will not maintain that the com
parison acid arrangement of the facts in physical
science is not a mental excercise sufficient to task
the mind to its utmost at every stage of ala growth,
that it does not begin with problems which the
simplest child can comprehend, and ascend to loose
which (he greatest intellects have not yel peoelrm
ed. lam yery far from accusing you of such gross
ignorance of the nature ofscientific pursuits. How
you ever came to your conclusion I must leave
an unsolved and by me unaolvabie mystery. I am
designedly, thus explicit because you attach great
importance to this argument oi yours, and because
other persons who wonld be judges in mailers ol
education, have pronounced this positioa of your*,
impregnable.
Leaving the negative course, let us turu t-. pns.
Hive reasoning. The pursoit of science you .-uy
is the proper means of training the mental power*.
What science or class of sciences is best adapted
tt/become this instrument 1 The pursuit o( every
science, whether physical, mental or moral, implies
the previous acquisition of language enough to
,seru as tbe vehicle of thought; but having nc
-'quired sufficient language for this purpose, how cun
we better train tbe mind to habits of comparison
and.generalization than in comparing tbe phenom
ena of tbe outward world, and in makiug tbo*e
generalisations of these phenomena which the stu
dent is compelled lo do at every step of his pro
gress ! The exercise of tbe powers of comparison
and generalization are mental efforts in themselves
of sufficient difficulty for tbe young mind, there is
therefore a decided advantage in selecting for tbe
cultivation or these powers, such objects as are
Visible and tangible, those objects with which, as
you any, we make our first acquaintance, and these
are the objects of natural science The facts of
dead languages and of metaphysics, could they be :
as dasily comprehended, might answer the same
purpose, but they are facts which the young mind
emit only imperfectly comprehend, and therefore Its
companions and generalizations are, after yean of
study, still very faulty. Indistinctness of ideas is
naturally attended by weakness of interest, sad
therefore it is seldom tbe case that young persons
apply themselves with full energy of mind in stu
dying tbe phenomena of the dead languages.—
mbits of inattention ere 7ery often acquired at
this early stage of tbe study of tbe ancient langua
ges f rom which the miod never recovers. The
miad for years is overtaxed in the effort of com
prehending tbe phenomena of language, and ts
‘tßhtli ir* prepared to tbeaxanriae of compare
[ &g and arranging these phenomena till a later
"tage of iw growth till it ha* reached snch a point
in iu developemem thauhe object ons which it 11
to reason come easily within iu grasp. The objects
ol natural science, 00 the other hand, are easily
comprehended by aid of tbe eye, ear and touch
I hey interest tbe curiosity and engage tbe atten
tion; and tbe mind at once proceeds to reason
upon them with vigor and Micces* In pursuing
these studies, throwers of attention, of memory,
ol comparison, of abstraction, of generalization, of
reasoning, and even the hafcul of estimating proba
ble evidence, are all put in requisition—with the
great advantage lhat the undivided, uncontused,
uomistified mind applies its full energies to the ex
ercise of these powers.
From a boundless field of illustrations I will re-
fer to two or three to show what kind ot training
the pursuit of physical science afford* to the mind
There is not perhaps within the range of human
thought, one atody which will *0 directly and suc
cexsfully train the mind 10 the power of ttnci logi
cal reasoning from effect to cause and from cause
to effect, as the study of physics. In a course of
study on ibis science, the attention of ihe young
mind is called to myriads of phenomenon or effect*
tasking its powers to iheir fullest extent to class-fy'
and refer them all lo their proper cause. Take
for instance tbe infinitely* varied effect* 01 the law
of gravitation os manifested in falling bodies, in ai
mospherio and liquid pressure, or consider the
meDtni exercise required in referring the interest,
uig effects of heat to the law* which they indicated;
or the deduction of the meceanicai powers from
the laws of momentum and eq ihbnum;or in exam
ining the phenomena which depend upon the re
flexion and refraction ofight And where will you
find tbe power of romnanson and of tracing analo
gic* more icily called into exercise than iu the
studies of* Botany and Chemistry' Chemistry and
•cvernlother nmural sciences have also enough to
do with probable evidence. You will confess DO
doubt Him the nomenclature of the*.* scieres give*
a *ulfinent exercise for the cultivation of memory.
Indeed you complain of the severity .1 the task
“of luying up in the memory the tong catalogue of
names descriptive of the L.nnaen tetany;” and
seem to forget ihirt when speaking ol the study of
language you adduce this very* exercise of memoi
mug words as one of tbe prominent benefits lo the
mind. To remember the word* of a dictionary is
Mireiy not a more inlere*t,ng task than lo remem
ber the names which serve to classify the object*
ofnalura! science. The power to recollect words
is however by fir the least valuable office ot mem
ory.tbe recollection ofqualities, propertfevrelaiions
ard principle*, t* the kind of memory which the
I physical sciences call inlo ihe mo*t active exercise
and this is a fundamental quality of an enlarged
and vigorou* intellect.
My agumeot for the physical sciences is now
completed In ihe* report we showed their com
prehensive hearing upon, and indispensible spph
caiion to, nil the active pursuits of societv, beyond
*veu n di-[K>sition lo cavil, m uiy reply to your re
view ut the report. 1 exhibited the high intellectual
and moral nature of the-e studies, connecting s*

The s ncera wish which I still feel tor the su u cess

recommended It it even became entirely free i

Jadfe Patton's Charge to the Jury In ’
the Besorreotlon Case.
The learned judge in charging the jury, addren
ed ihem in the following words— i
This is Ihe first case of the kind that bos ever 1
teen brought before ihe criminal court* of thin i
county for more than twenty year*, and is perhaps
ihe second one that has ever occured in thts coun
ty.
Ail Christian nations have held sacred fbe repose
ot ttie dead There is h sanctity about the grave,
from Ihe violation of which, human nature, on- '
trammelled by rehgibns superstition. revolts.—
Nothing can more truly mark the refinement
and virtue ot a people, than the degree of respect 1
they show for ihe memory of thu dead. In o i |
country in the world does this feeling proven to a
greater extent, or is mere beautifully displayed,
than in our own. Tma seoliuient is implanted in
our nature It is carried out in our practice, h
is enforced hv our laws. We have, amongst other
law* bearing on the subject, nn ancient statute
prohibiting il,« location of any road or highway
through a grave-yard, no matter how much it may
be demanded by the necessity or convenience of
ihe pobhe. Extensive tracts of ground near our
large cities and towns, adorned with every em- ,
beihsbment of art, aud every beauty of nature, are
purchased at n greet expense, and appropriated to |
the sacred purpose of sepulture and rest for the
deacL Ihe cemetery and the country rhurcb yard
ore consecrated spot*, and xnuctified to ihe whole
community, and especially in the bereaved rela»
lives and friends of the’ departed, by the most
sacred associations. They are nallowed and ,
beautitul retreats, to which the living of every class
ot character may resort witti profit. The silent
voices ot the dead will speak peace to their souls,
aod teach them salutary lessons oft meekness and
bumdity. There affection love* to resort and
linger, in plant a dower or drop a tear over the
grave ol the deported.
This sentiment of veneration for ihe remains of
the dead should be handed down Imm generation
to generation, and .fn.ii d be cherished not on
ly long alter ihe dreem-ed but all bt» friends
shall have been gathered to the same last resting
place.
It is true that a physician deserve* commenda
tion, who manifests a 'audible desire ot improve
ment in hia profession. Ii 1* true that those who
labor with success to advance mid elevate the
medical science, confer a great benefit on the hu
man Inmily , and they are entitled to all proper
and reasonable encouragement m their etTorU —
They mas. have dead subjects from winch they
may learn the anatomy and d-seasc* ol the living-
They must procure them by lawful meant. Dead
bodies may be procured in populous places by fair
negotiation and other lawful mcnMires. before m- !
ternirnt. They must not obtain U..-m by violating '
the law*, nor by mean-* that shock the moral *en»e .
of the community, and in liu-l Irrcp.lrot.te injury wii l
the IreliDgs of surviving fr.end*.
There i» a maxim uppocnble to every case of
violated rights Ii he- at the t -imdation of all
law, tuid 11 nil v, vtlired society. It may be con*
sidcred stiiic and oid-fiishioned ; but inaultind are,
nevertheless, quite 100 unmindful of iL It should
be impressed on tiie heart of every man. If it be
not tmpre**ed there naturally, it should be engra

language of which he 1* mister The neglect or
violation 01 it produce* nl! the strife, litigation,

to it* very opposite Thai maxim applies with pe
culiar force to this case : *• .So yutsttd your ot rn
iiMinrj.i. and to ujr you r aim rights that you do
not tiifnnge on tiie rights of your neighbor.''
Thai 1* a double offence which at once dese
crate* the memory .-,1 the dead, aud violate* the
right* and feelings of the liviog. The dead, whose
rema n* have f>een followed to the church yard
and mterred with Christian solemnity by their be
reaved relative'*, who belong to the congregation
and have an .merest in it* properties—the dead
•o interred *hould be permitted to repvse, and the
grave should f*e free from violation. This w the
right of ihe .arriving relatives, and it is para
mount 10 the object contended for, in this case—
-Ih.lt ot advancing the cause of science.
If men can with impunity enter the church yard
and rob the grave, where would be the or
use of burying Ihe dead at all, unless it might be
io protect tbe atmosphere from impurity! Why
not permit ihe resurrectionist to -enter the sick
chamber and tarry ti'l the last heaving of the
brenih indicates ihe departure of the *ool of the
patient to another world—then to** il mto the C4Tt
and carry it into a dissect.ng room 1 Wo can ea
»iiv im&g-ne how the feeling* of the surviving
friend* would i*> narrowed 10 toe intense*! degree
ot agoor by a proceeding like this And yet
where is the difference, if the resurrectionist has
only to wan t.il the l»ody ha* been interred, and
the tear ot allect.on has moivtened the grave '
li me grave can be violated in one instance it

Ihe peaceful silence of the secluded church-yard
can be broken, and the humble grave of the wid
ow's daughter can be desecrated, what is to pre

and the stalely monument, erected by public grat
itude, ot private munificence, from being under

Hainan ingenuity could scarcely devise a meas

Uon could l>e entailed on a Christian community,
than io proclaim that the grave ran be robbed
wuhimpunuy. Proula.m that as the law of the
land, ond proceed to carry it out in practice, and
you would pf-nlcce a revuUton in the public mind
mat would display o*elf in open rebellion, if no
other mean* existed of restating such an outrage
on religion and humanity
Bus fie :iw n not *o. Iti ohji-i'i ;i to protect
tho moral sense of »o«.iety, .Mid mo leeling* of e ur
incods from outrage. There isbtiloae
way of dotog it. nod taat u to treat the art of rob
bin* me grave as a cnminiiJ offence. The dead
body n not considered as property; therefore, voti
cannot prosecute for a larceny The law, tnfen,
treats il mi misdemeanor—as an oCfence against
common decency and good morai*
It was never contended in England that this
was not an offence. In the rase cf the King vt
Lyuo 2 Town. R_ 733. the rouu*el for the defen
dant admitted toet it »■«« an offence, but con*
tended that -t belonged to the eclcaiastical. and
not to the criminal jurisdiction. It is well known
that many acta and offence*, of which the ectesios
ticnl tribunals n England had exclusive jurisdic
tion, are cognizable before the courts ot law in
Pennsylvania But m that caw it held not
only to be an offence, but on offence cognizable
in the criminal courts, aud fart her, that the pre
text ol t iking up the dead body for the purpose of
dissection did not nil-r the esse That decision
recognized a principle we.l tr-cled by uniform
practice, long previous to the date ofthe decision.
The principle, we thiuk. has never been seriously
controverted in Pennsylvania.
It seems to be so understood by those who have
an interest in procuring subject*, for when* they
undertake lo prooure them from the grave, they
alwuy* do it by stealth, and seem to be aware that
punishment will follow detection.
I The act ot taking up a dead body from the grave
by stealth and violence, aud without authority, be
ing an offence, the next question for the jury to
determine, is who participated in ju Thia end nil
oilier question* of tart are for the jury to decide.
In misdemeanors there are no accessaries All
who participate either direcuy or o'direclty in the
transaction are considered as principals—-not only
those who do the act but those who procure ad
rise, assist, encourage or countenance n whether
absent or present, are alike principal*.
The jury will apply these principle* to the farts,
and decide the case uninfluenced, as far as poa

WOULD respectfully announce to the citizen* 01
Pittsburgh, that he will remain in tfaia place a
lew days. His unparaJeileU success in the treatment
of a large majority of those diseases which have ever
been regarded as incurable by the modern and more
(ashtauable practice, baa induced him to spnd forth
thu card to the articled portion of mankind. He has
within the last IS months Imparted Instructions to up
wards of 2UU) citizens of Tennessee, Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana, among
theta Physicians of high standing, and they ail bear
testimony of their entire satisfaction, lie ha* also
succeeded In giving permanent relief to nearly 3UOU
individuals, ample proof of which he can adduce.
It is not pretended that the concentration of the re
sults of medieal research emanates from one author
tor be he ever so varied in medical science, he would
come far, far short of so herculean a task. Dr S. has
been engaged since 1838 m selecting and purchasing
sll the popular and secret remedies which could be
obtained in England, Ireland, Germany and the United
siatea from those persons who were eminently sue
oessful m caring some one of iho following diseases.
