! FOR MAYOR OF PITTSBURGH,
ROBERT HtOCTOHEOI.
FOB. MAYOR OF ALLEGHENY,
HUGH I. PLEHI9G
THE MAYORALTY.
Aj the period for the election of Mayor if now
•lose at hand, and the candidates aw in the field,
it ia time to giro the question a seriotts examina*
tios. ’
The Whig party, according to established cos
tom, have pni in nomination a regularly nomine*
ted candidate. The gentleman chosen has never
been ranch known as a politician, bat is well
known u s good Whig, a respectable merchant,
and an citizen. He if, in the judgment
of those who know him best, tally capable of effi*
eienliy discharging the duties of this office, and de-
aerrea the confidence and respect of his fellow
The Democratic party held a Convention, but
did not ven tore to name a standard bearer in the
regular form; bat “rscowwritdnf I —that is the new
terra in the Locofoco vocabulary—a distinguithe d
member of the party, as an "independent" candi
date. Thalia, to use the significant language of
a member of the party, they made a "aueaktng” noaK
fetation. Afraid to take the field under their own
distinctive fltg, they rally tinder fah* colors, and
endeavor to cheat the people into the rapport of
a warm and active Locofoco paniun, nominated
—we beg pardon—"recommended” by a Locofoco
Convention!
One of two things is certain, they are ashamed
Ol their flag, or they fear defeat under it The :
latter is the charitable, and no doubt the correct
conclusion. - Bat what difference will it make to
the oommnniiy whether a devoted Democrat is
elected under a "recommendation,” instead of a
“nomination" of a Locofoco Convention? Will the
of tba office be any the less a Lo
cofooo one, should Mr. Guthrie, as a ‘-recom
mend ee" succeed, rather than a "nominoef” Will
any Whigof common sense ay that it will?—
We feel sore that no Locofoco expects it.
But what is the difference between this “re*
oommendatioa” and a regular nomination? A Lo
cofoco Convention oomposed of delegates regu
larly chosen, assembles, and after the organization
is completed, a committee is appointed to report
revolutions exprevsive of the sense of the Conveu*
lion. After a short absence the committee returns,
and reports the following revolution, which, on
motion of Colonel S. W. Black, was adopted by
acclamation:
a ßstoloed ) That we rtemvund John B. Guthrie,
Esq., to the people of Pittsburgh, as a suitable can
didate for Mayor, and we respectfully invite the in
dependent voters ot the city, to give him a cordial
support. *
What great difference is there between this
recommendation and an ordinary nomination? A
Democrat is presented to the people of Pittsburgh
as a candidate for Mayor, by a Democratic Con
vention, and if elected be will all intents and
purposes, a Democratic Mayor, the tame as if be
was nominated instead of recommended. The
whole ia a trick to defeat the Whig nomination,
under f «l«* colors, and |o secure the office to the
Locofoco party.
' The history of this affair will not, however, be
complete without Jhc following correspondence,
which is publiahcd'wiib the proceedings of the
Locofoco Convention: —

seph P. Gazzam, E. S. Neal, and others.
GnttotraYour letter requesting, me to be
come a candidate for Mayor was received, and
while the was under consideration, a Demo
erauo Convention met and determined, with gTeat
unanimity, not to make a party nomination. This
decision leaves the field open for an independent
candidate for Mayor, and relieves me from all em
barrassment la secediog to your leanest.
Without flattering myself that I deserve the
good opinion your partiality dictates, I can say,
with all gincerity, that, ifeleeied, pay best energies
will be used for the preservation of the peace, and
the promotion of the welfare of the entire comma
nity.
Please accept my thanks for the personal kind
ness and estimation evinced towards
Your friend and servant,
JOHN B. GUTHRIE.
A number of gentlemen, composed of a sprink
ling of all parties, address Mr. Guthrie on the 97U>,
but be take* care not to reply un'il he had sound*
ed the pulses of his political brethren, and then,
having the sanction of the Locofoco Convention,
he yields to the solicitations o( the gentlemen
whoso names are appended io the letter. It looks
very much as if the whole matter bad been man
aged. to saif a certain purpose. The leaders of
the party, fearing to bring oat a candi*
date under the' Democratic flag, have, doubtless,
arranged the whole scheme. The letter signed
by Mr. Cooper and others, was, doubtless, a pan
of the plan, though unknown to most of the sign*
era. Many of them, we think, would scorn to
enter Into a Locofoco coalition. It was singular,
that they ahould, in "looking"for a citizens’ can*
didale, fix upon a well known locofoco parti
san, when there was a good Whig in the field,
placed Were in accordance with the recognized
usages; of the party, but it would be more slngu :
. Ur still to suppose that any. bearing the name'
of Wnig, should hive entered into a coalition
with our enemies to defeat the Whig candidate.;
We think better of them than that, although we
(ear they have been used to subserve a purpose
of the opposition.
What Is the doty of the Whig party in this
state of affairs ? Undoubtedly, that of a universal
rally for the election of Mr. M’Cutcheon. This
is due to that gentleman as a matter of good frith-
It is due to the party and to party usages—sod
is, alaoi a duty to the city, ss good citxeaa. We
. have said nothing to the disparagement of the par
aonpd merit* of Mr. Guthrie. He is a gentleman
witS'whom our intercourse has been pleasant.—•
But we hold H to be the duty ofthe Whigs to sus
tain Weir own cfiar&ter* - their eelf respect, their
fidelitjto thoir principles, and to their party usage*,
by electing Mr. which they can easily
do, tf they exert themselves, notwithsiandlng the
defections of some Vho support Barker, on the
one hand, and Guthrie on the other. These Istterj
we think, will be very lew and far between.
The CkrmicU supports Mr. Guthrie as the
“dtiunS candidate.” What part had our ciU
letfr/aa such, in his nomination? What righ|
has a Convention to nominate a eili*
candidate ? If a citizens’candidate is to be
supported, it wonldibe but frir to give ail our
citizens a voice in the nomination, instead of con
fining it to the Locofoco party, and some dozen or
so fitimM beside. !

StJWiriaioH or Dtpixntatio llirrmoouas* with
Atwrai*.-—Gen. Casa baa been the first to move
in the Senate cf the United States, the suspension <
of all diplomatic tntercoarne with Austria. The
proposition submitted by Gen.)Cas*, In relation to.
this matter, is in the form of a resolution of in
struction to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Iris in the following worde: •
| Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Re
lations be instructed to inquirejlnto the expedien
cy of suspending diplomatic relations with Aus.
trfa." I
While we folly subscribe to all that has been
taid against (he bloody barbarities committed by
the Austrian Government, andj which entirely de
serve the execrations of the Christian world, we
doubt the policy of suspending our diplomatic
intercourse. We have very large commercial re
lations with Austria, which require watching, and
besideatbia. there are a large number cf Ameri
cans.reiidiog, either permanently or temporarily,
10 her dominions, who desire to fee! that they
have the protection of the flag of their cooatry to
resort to, tn time* of trouble. Justice, therefore!
to the interests of our own countrymen, it ap
pears to os, should indace us to maintain our di
plomatic relations. At the same time, it need
not restrain us from expressing, in language
that may reach the ear of the youthful Emperor,
and his Ministry, the feelings of indignation which
the policy of his Government, in their recent etro
oions courae towards Hungary bas awakened
on the Western Continent; and that they deem her
unworthy to be recognised among civilised na
tions.
Frjm tJu Aferrary.
The Gazette of Toesday last, contains an arti
cle attributing to me personally, motives the most
unworthy. In this land where my character is as
j at unknown, I am anxious that I should be jndg
i d by my conduct. Since my arrival to thirdly, I
can safely say that nothing has appeared in my
conduct unworthy of a gentleman, and cf one wbs
aspires to become a citizen of this republic. If
the editor of the Gazette thinks proper to doubt
mv veracity, it la not through the columns of a
newspaper that I desire to establish it. -It is with
extreme pain that I feel compelled thus to obtrude
myaelf upon the public; but the course of the Ga
zette in substituting personality for argument,
letToa me no other alternative.
We give the young gentleman of the Nenurg
the fall benefit cf his card,l though we do not sec
that it is very relevant, or altogether true. With
his private character we have not and shall not
trouble ourselves, but bis public "conduct" hat not
been such as became a gentleman or a person aspir
ing to become a citizen. I Vo <ma with any sente of
decorum would assail an aged veteran soldier who
jiss risked his life sgain and again in the.service
of his country, and who has been called to fill its
highest office, without measure, 'reason, or de
cency, as has been done by this young stranger
in the Mercury. And none of our citisens, hav
ing the least claim to respectability, ever have
dooc so. On the score of ignorance, it may, per
haps, be more excusable in a stranger with the
dart of his native aoif hardly worn from his feet,
but it ia, at all events, neither very becoming nor
very palatable.
It la somewhat amoaing to tee this person, who
whines like-a well whipped school boy, about hii
motives sad hi* veracity, giving the lie to the
Chief Magistrate ofthe Union! When somewhat
more at leisure we may perhaps show by some
extracts that oar castigation of his impertinence
waanot half so severe as the case merited, though
tl?e game is hardly worth the candle.

Tbe defalcation of Prosper late
Navy Agent at New York*, is the general topic of
conversation. li is probable that tbe amount is
greatly overrated, but that there ia a defalcation,
in construction of law, ia evidenced by the state,
meat of Wcimore himself. The facts are as fol*
lows: Wetmore was appointed by Po.Uc as sue*
ceasor to his brother, Wm, C. Wetmore. He re
mained in office font years, and was succeeded,
on the expiration of bis term, by a Whig, in April
tasi. His accounts have been ever since under
examination, and were finally sent to tbe Solicitor
of tbe Treasury with: a certified balance doe the
government of $560,000. That officer immedi
ately ordered suit to be brought for the amount*
Bat subsequently it is said to have been discovered
that there had been disbursements for $350,006,
for which he had not been credited. The United
States claims, therefore,'about $200,000, as.due
from Wetmore. He resitu the summons to pay
over, upon tbe ground that he has made disburse
meats, by order of the government, noLwithi n the
range of his dudes as Navy Agent, and that he has
a right to charge, upon all such, a commission of
two or five per cent., which would cover the sum
be withholds. What force there may be in this
justification Ido not know. It seems that the de.
faulting agent, at this place, Major Scott, took the
same ground, and retained eleven thousand dol
lar*, with a view of having the validity of his
claim tested by competent legal authority. I
The main point is* will the money be paid, if the
courts decide tufavor of the UnitedStatesf Who
is-to verdant as to believe it? It was announced
in the Union, that government would'lose nothing
by Denby, but it did lose on* hundred and forty
four thousand dollars , by that choice specimen of
the Richmood etc*, nevertheless. And it was to
lose nothing by Eli More, Marshal of New Yorki
but it did lose $20,060, nolwiihatamfing. It was
to lose nothing .by Patrick Collins, of Cincinnati,
but I believe the- $60,000 have not b«cn forthcom
ing to this date. And the siorjro 1 ’'Scon’s defal
cation, hem at the Capital, was pronounced a
mare's nett, and a Whig lie, by the Union, yet
the eleven thoosand is still in nu&t&tu, so far as
tbe government is concerned.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury dis
turbs the serenity of oor *• bitter cod " people, in a
wonderful degree. That Mr. Meredith should
have come out against their tariff, after all their
Lopes* cf him, as a free trade Whig, wii truly
melancholy ; that he should have aasailed the Sub
Treasury was a great trial of Democratic patience,
-but mat he should have proved the existence ol a
deficit, resulting from Mr. Walker’s financiering.
-was past all endnrance. The coolness of those
gentlemen who assert that a deficit, if it exist, has
been caused by this Administration, and not on
account of ibe war and other measures of the pre*
cedtngone, is illustrated by the following facts:—
Messrs. Polk and Walker left the Government
bnrtbened with a debt which may be thus stated,
Stock and Treasury Notes.' $65,778,450
Doe to Mexico, 1 i'2,000,000
Due to American citixens on account
of Mexican Claims, assumed by
this Government, under the treaty, 3,250,000
Liquidated Claims against 'Mexico,
Jssumed 1,518,000
To this amount must, of course, be
added tbedebts doe to the soldiers
of the war, payable in laud and war
bounty script, estimated at
Total ascertained debt.
The charges upon the finances for the two years
ne±t following their exit, and the advent of their
successors on account of these items of war debt,
are as fallows:—
Interest on stock, debt, Jw, $7,400,000
Mexican instalments, with interest... 13,500,000
Claims on Mexico assumed........* 7,769,000
.Onaccoont of land warrants and Script 4,000,000
$29,609,000
in estimating the amount drawn oat, as kept
out of the Treasury, I take the Secretary’s state
ment, from w hich it appears that the average yearly
loss to the revenue, from the sales of public lands,
while portions ol the bounty land warrants re
main unlocated, will be $2,000,000. It will be
seen that every one of the above items of expen
diture arise, directly and solely from the war.
Now, while the Pdk administration left these
charges to be met, did it add any thing to the
•tnetttf of revenue? Did it make any provision
whatever for this extraordinary expenditure <f
thirty millions of dollars! It furnishes the means
of meeting disbursements required within the fire
months following its own decease, and no more.
All that was left of the numerous loans it had
contracted was the liability for the annually ac
cruing interest upon them. That administration
increased the expenditures lor the two fiscal years
1 following June 30, 15i9 f considerably more than
twenty millions of dollars. Mr. Meredith has
provided means for all over sixteen millions of
dollars, and for that he demands a loan. Had
Geo- Cass been elected, so that Walker’s financial
policy would have been contianed, the loan re
quiredf’from this Congress would bare been at
least twenty five millions. Junius.

The President held a brilliant levee on Friday
evening last. Other engagement* prevented my
attending, as L had desired to do, but-I under
stand that it was an unusually pleasant as well
as splendid affair. A portion ol the British lega
tion was present, bat whether the veritable min
ister himself, I cannot asy.
The last news from Texas ha* created consid
erableofa sensation. That yoongest sister has
already commenced quarrelling about her portion
of the common goods and charts)*. It seems that
the governor has advised the raising or troops,
and the actual levying of “grim viaaged war,” in
\ support of the claims of state to all New Mexico
east oflhe Rio Grande, and that the legislature
was at the latest dates really at work upon a bill
having those objects ia view. \ It seems to be
expected that such a bill will be passed, and then
measures may be taken under it that would lead
to a collision with tie general government.
It may be remmebered that somethlngoverayear
ago, Texas pretended to organise New Mexico (
-mto a judicial district of that State, and went so (
fas as to send oat a judge to adaunisler Texan
laws therein. Considering the circuitous route ,
the judge took, this eeeoed carrying the joke very j
far, for hejwent by the way of Su Louis. This
lacl standing alone woald not be of great impor
tance, but i! ts asserted lhal the judicial emmis
sary of Texas bad a pledge from Mr. Polk lhal
lhat he should be recognized in the capaciiy
in which he went out. by ihe military sutbonties
of toe territories, ‘1 his is affirmed by all the Tex
ans now here ; and there is no reason fer ques
tioning what tiey say, fjrPoik, aod Marcy, and
Buchanan did all tbattn them lay to support Tex
as in her pretensions, and tho late President even
went to the length of assuring the Governor
ofTexas, io an official leiter, dated January 4th,
1647, that he considered the claims of Texas to
the whole oflhe territory East of the Rio Grande
valid.-o- This it will be perceived was doing all
that be could to give away the common territory
lof the United Stales to Texas.—The claim of
T rZU j* frivolous and unfounded as it can well
be. Unrests upon no better foundation than her
own declaration that the Rio Grande, from its
mouth toils source was her western boundary.
Now she never exercised any jurisdiction within
a hundred miles ofthe southern boundary of New
Mexico, which is the thirty second degree of lat
itude, whereas the source cf the Rio Grande, is
about latitude thirty eight. The only attempt she
ever made to cross tho boundary of this territory
waa in 1842, when the fomous Santa Fe expedi
tion waa undertaken, for purpose of trade, it was
alleged, but, as was do drubt true, for tho purs
pose of seising Santa Pe. The Mexican author
ities at all events took the matter in that light, and
also took Ihe expedition in .irons to the city of
Mexico. From lhat timo little waa heard of tho
claims of Texas on Santa Fej till the United
Slates army conqaered it.
Now, Old Zack has to say whether be will bring
the latter up with a short turn, or let her try her
hand a second time conquering New Mexico. As
the Mexicans themselves were enough to resist
the impetuona Tik an os- Now there ia a conaid*
arable Americana, with excellent ri
flcB. of course the invaders iroald stand bat lit
tle chance. The call of General Houston on all
correspondence relative to the conlinned military
occupation of New Mexico is intended to strength
en this movement. It is said that Texas proper
•es to bring into (he field a force of 200? men,
a rather formidable little army.
In reference to the defalcation of Wetmore, it ia
now reported that the disbursements on which he
pretends to charge tho.commfaaion, for the amoont
of which be is doclsred lobs in defonU, were made
eves after he left ofioe, aud out of monies re-
tained by him for the purpose of enabling him |
to perform just such operations.
Mr. Welmore’s sureties were, his brother Rob*,
ert, and a gentleman whose name I have forgot
ten. The amount of their bonds is thirty thousand
dollars, not one picayune of which U expected to
be recovered.
I can hardly describe the deep, though carefilly
suppressed anxiety which prevails here among well
informed men concerning the relations between
this government and that of Great Britain on the
Mosquito and Nicaragua question. No one scarce
ly expects any disavowal of Chatfield’s outrages
either towards the feeble governments of Central
America or oar own. He has been evidently

Correspondency'of the Pittsburgh Garena.
Nxyv Yoxx, Dec. 31, 1849.
The year, after a good deal of fiekle behavior,
has come out in an appropriate manner—with the
proper attendants of cold weather and good sleigh
ing, which is improved, as only Broadway can
shew. That fatuous pedestrian promenado and
race course lor omnibuses, is now crowded with
vehicles ou runners, from a crockery crate drawn
by a donkey, up to a sleigh with sixteen hones,
and a company of an hundred specimens of hu*
mamty.
visiters have retired from the
Astor House to private quarters, In Bond street,
or, to be better understood, have left the Monon
gahela House for the quiet and elegance of Penn
street—where they receive visiters and donations,
the latter being quiteaa acceptable as the former.
These patriotic emigrants have done themselves
honor in limes past; bot our would be fashionables
have made them, together with their eJiaptrow,
quite ridiculous. They have been shown up like
nondescripts, and have become the butts for many
aly jokes. When the rivers open, say the wags,
they will resume their travels, and after making a
fortune by exhibitions, will retire to the upper part
of New York, where they are to have a feodal
castle built, with Uwd, &c. An agent of the
Bible Society visited them on Saturday, and gave
them copies, as be naively says, bound according
to the rank of the recipient: gilt Turkey morocco
for Mademoiselle, and calf for those who fought
afoot. «
Gen. Wetmore’s defalcation, if so htreh a term
should be applied to discrepancy in bis am
counts, it, as was suggested in my last. He i:
simply waiting to. see wnether the governmen 1
cannot be made pay for extra services. His salnry,
as navy agent, is not eqaal to what many clerks
get, and as a general thing, merchants here will
see the government beaten with a good deal of
gratification. Mr. Wetmore is one of the moat
prominent members of the Chamber of Commerce,
and none but a few warm partisans think him
guilty cf acl>. disbonqrable iu a merchant.
A new kind of telegraph wire is now beiug put
up for one of the western companies. It is coated
with gutta percha, a sample of which I send yoa.
t will be noticed that this wire is completely loc
ated, and doea not come in contact with as in
urious substance, and cannot be disturbed by
:rossiog of wires, as is the case now. Ii can bo
$52,547,450
furnished for sixty five dollars per mile, a price
which must give it general use. If it is placed
$100,547,450
under land or water, it is alike protected fro
tho elements, and makes the telegraph a more r
liable means of commun.cstion than any olb«
known method. At present a despatch of in
pottance is almost sure to find the lino do run, i

Ashes are dull at G| for pots, and $6 19 for pearls.

cut meals there is nothing doing. Dressed hogs
are selling at 505|e. Butter and chcete are in
: good demand, and firm, bead is selling at *4 25
for Galena, and Si 15 for Spanish. The imports
oflead for the past ten months have been 12,195
tons, equatlo 365,569 American pig*. Scotch pig
iron ia nominally *2l 30 per ton. For wool, the
market ia very firm, and the stock here does not
exceed 1,200,000 pounds. The quotations within
the last two montha have advanced 2n per pound
>r all grades under 40c.‘ A party largely in
esled went to England some time since, to en*
deavor to purchase wool for this market, but the
late rise there will prevent his operations. The
demand here is good. Some wool sold last week

Mi. EotToa.—
Dear 3ta:-l have just seen yoar papers of Thars
day and Friday, aod am surprised to find lhat you
did not toontr receive the intelligence of the pro
ceedings of the Pennsylvania Rail Road meeting
held on the 21th lust. As soon as the meeting,
adjourned, I wrote to you on (he subject, as you
requeued; and Mr. Dsrsic prepared a telegraphs
ic despatch containing a copy of the icsolution
passed by the Stockholders. He gave the des
patch to an Ageol of the telegraphic company,
with a reqaest that it shoul 1 be sent to the Pitts
burgh press, for tie use of the different papers, in
order to avoid the additional cost of repeated
messages, these were the directions given by
Mr. Darsie/and who is responsible for bis wishes
not haviog been carried out, ts more than I can
tell. -&>
On the 2ffth ioat. the Bjard of Directors oflhe
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company passed the fol
lowing resolution, by a unanimous vote :
“Ruolwd, That the Chief Engineer bo instruct
ed to pm under contract, as early in the spring os
the weather will permit, the line eastwardly from
Pittsburgh as tar as the intersection with the
Turnpike, near Turtle Creek, and such heavy sec
tions on the whole line as he may deem expedient
and to press all the contracts as rapidly as pos-,
sible.^,
I have obtained a certified copy of the foregoing
resolution with the sea! ofthe Company affixed. It
is the intention of the Board to carry it out in guod
tnitb: and 1 am convinced that Col. Patlereon, the
President ofthe Company, will'do every thing in
his power to satisfy every reasonable man. 1
have no time to go into details, but I feel sure, lhal
what has been done ought to be aatiafactory for
Ihe present. Another effort to raise ttock will
now be made ; and, at the adjourned meeting ol
the Stoosholdorm, lobe held on the lltb of March,
it ia intended to deeide Ihe question of the mode
of providing for any deficiency of lands that may
then be required to be raised to complete the
work.
I intend to atari on Wednesday morning, and
be in PiUsbnrgh.on Saturday next.
Respectfully yours,
SOLOMON W. ROBERTS,
Civil Engineer.
Texas and Bata Ft.— Victory or DeatA. —The
information from Sant Pe that the Inhabitants had
taken preliminary steps to organise a territorial
government, baa caused the greatest excitement'
at Austin, Texes. Many were for, marching an
aftnod force tither and putting down the rebels, ns
they are termed. The Austin Gasette advises de
lay until the receipt of the President's message,
-and-al all events that tbo-Texans should not pre
cipitate a crises, or complicate mailers by violence.
U still reiterates a determination to have Sonia Fc,
and says:
“Rather than surrender to the usurpation of
the general government one inch of our blood
won territory, let every boman habitation in Santa
Fe be levelled to the earth, and us, if the necessity
oflho case requires it, be buried beneath its nuns.
