• In : reference to this unforlanato man, we had no I
Inteationof administering any rebuke personally j
■ to the editor of the Journal. Our object wet to I
■ express our dissent, in general terms, to the course I
punned by a portion ot the press, in endeavoring I
■—unintentionally,it may be—to create a prejudice 1
in the publio- mind against Dr. Webster, by. pub- I
Ushing every story that mere rumor, and conjee- j
tare might frame against him, and thereby do great j
fnjustloo to the accused, and impose additional I
. unhappiness upon his deeply afflicted and greatly I
' to be pitied family. I
We admit that previous respectability should be |
no bar to judgment when the crime is once prov- j
en, and that the guilt u only aggravated thereby 1
* —but we maintain moet unhesitatingly that a long
his of respectability and good standing in
- society should shield a man from a hmhjudg*
moot, and public condemnation, when the charge
only testa upon suspicions, and circumstantial
evideuce, which has not been judicially investiga
ted.- Pitiable indeed, is society, if an heretofore !
untarnished character is no protection against the |
most horrible charges, and cannot secure for an|
. accused person some sympathy and publio for-:
beannee until he is proven guilty. |
• We' do not understand by “respectability”—
• "riehos.” Dr. Webster is not rich, but has hither*
to maintained an exalted position in society in
despite of those who would make riches the only
password to the regions of respectability. He is
■ loicher of youth, a devoted student of science,
- mod an enthusiast in his profession. Why these
circumstances should militate against him, or pre
vent the just forbearance of the public, we cannot
see.
Dr. Webster may be guilty, or he may not be.
This t jury will decide, alter hearing the evi*
deuce, but, id the meantime, his friends have good
reason: to complain of tho injustice of a portion oH
the press in prematurely endeavoring to prejudge
bis case. He who spoke as never mm spake,
strongly admonished] us against this principle In j
his divine preachings, and hii solemn admonition
to n Judge not lest yo be judged,” nor “condemn
not lest ye be condemned,” are. precepts which it |
wouldbe well for the world,'if mea informing
their opinions of the conduct of others would
more carefully lay at heart—we should thereby
avoid Ivery many acts of injustice.

For du Pittsburgh Gazette.
Ur. Ebitoi—l wu surprised to kb the follow
tog remark in (be Gazette of this maniing:— M There
ii do hope for this Union if some compromise—la
not Adopted.”
Is it really tree that the citizen* of the Southern
Slates pot so low a valuation on oar Union, that
they will really destroy it, if they are not allowed
the infamous privilege of extending still farther
the degradation and wrong of human Slavery ?
Do you' really believe that there is any sincerity in
that kind of treason which is proclaimed from the
house tops, in a manner that treason was never
proclaimed before? b it possible that yon con
really believe that two millions oi non slavehold
ers in the slavo states would stand idle spectators,
while three hundred thousand slaveholders des
troyed the Union, not in defence of equal rights,
not io the assertion of their drat privileges as free
men, not to. improve the condition of their slaves,
.or .even to elevate the position of the already
down trodden non slivebolding white men, hut u?
open a new market for the sale, of their human
chattels, a larger field in which parents and chil
dren, husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters,
may be more completely separated and more
widely scattered? Nay, let me prea* t this matter
more closely. Yon seem very confident that
slavery ean never extend bio any of our lately
acquired territory. If this be true, is it conceiv*
able that the slaveholders, and the non slaveholders
too, of the Southern States, will dissolve that!
Union under which they have «o long prospered
and enjoyed so many advantages, just because
they have been bluffed off from the empty and in’-:
famous privilege of boasting that they have the
right.lo take their slaves to New Nexico.
But why should slaves hot be taken to New |
Mexico? Texas, s slave state, immediately ad- |
joins it. Will it not be easy to migrate thence to ;
New Mexico? It is said the soil is hot good, gene- |
rally, but still there must be some good lauds scat- 1
tered through iL These may be occupied by j
slaveholders who cannot go to California, while i
northern freemen are attracted to Wisconsin, |
lowa, Minnesota, Oregon and California. At all i
it is s question of doubt whether without
a prohibition slavery will be extended there. Let
os, then, remove all doubt, and make “assurance
doubly sore.” Let os teach southernslha: we un
derstand their game of brag, though we do not
play it Their game is an old one, often played,
some times successfully, some times not They
: played it pretty boldy in 1839, and, had Mr. Clsy
not interfered, Jackson would have given them a
lesson, which they would uot have forgotten in a
half a century. Even if their ease was one tX
less infamy, at this time concession is utterly in
expedient and unwise, while ruffians are bellow
ing treason in the halls of legislation.
Perhaps tome of your readers may have forgot
ten, or never heard of, an early attempt of slave
holders the game of bully and bragadodo !
with our beloved Washington. The reminiscence j
may uot be unprofitable at this time.
After John Jay, one of the purest and wisest pa
triots this or any other country ever produced,
had negotiatad the fatuous treaty, known by bis
name, one of the best we have ever bad with Eng
land, a most biller ppposilfon to its ratification was
gotten up. Among other means adopted, a notice
was published in Richmond, on the 31at July,
1793, from which the following is an extract: I
“ Notice is hereby given that, in case the treaty !
entered into by that damned arch traitor, John Jay, I
with the British tyrant, should be ratified, a peti- |
tiou will be presented to the next General Assem
bly of Virginia prayiog that the said State may ]
recede from the Union, and be left under the
government and protection of one hundred thou
sand free and independent Virginians."
Washington disregarded til the opposition, the
treaty was ratified, the oonntry prospered, and we
never heard any more of the “hundred tnousand
tree and independent Virginians.”
’ The present, I believe, is no ease for Comprom
ise. There can be no real, honest Compromise,
where it must be made between principle on one
side, and dollars and cents on the other. The
peoplo oftbe North are not now accountable for
the existence of slavery in-the Slavo States; but
Uj by a compromise, we permit its extension over
one acre of free territory, we will be responsible,
and we may all exclaim in the language of Jef
ferson, “J treadle token I tktnl tint God ujuet."
The Compromise of 1833 was no sacrifice of
moral principle. The parties had a perfect right
to make U. It was a mem question of dollars and
cents on both aides, one in which a bargaii eonld
fairly be made. .We talk, to be sure, “the jmrui*
fU of protection,” bat mean not moral principle.

officers of militia of the Pint and Eighth battalions ;
of the regiment of Dorchester, of the officers of

her Msjeaty hat been pleased to receive very gra
ciously-
It has afforded ber Majesty great satisfaction to
receive these expressions of lhat loyalty and at*
tachment to the British drown, which she trust* is
generally felt by ber Canadian subjects;
With regard to the address ol the people ofCa
oada. in ftvor of severing Jthe province from the
British dominions, for the purpose of annexation
to the United States, which forms the subject of
three of these despatches, Ij have to inform you that
her Majesty approves of your having dismissed
from her service those who have signed the doc
ument, which is scarcely abort of being treasons*
ble In Us Character. j , . ,
Her Majesty oonfidentlyjrelies on the loyalty of
of the great majority oi ber Caoadian subjects,
and sho has therefore determined to exert ail the
authority that belongs to ber, for the purpose of
maintaining the connexion of Canada with this
government, being persuaded that the permanence
I of lhat connexion it highly advantageous to both.
[ Your Lordship will therefore understand that
you are commanded by ber Majesty to resist,
the utmost of your power, any attempt which may
be mode to bring about the separation of Canada
Iromtbe British dominions,.and to mark in the
strongest manner ber Majesty's displeasure with
all those who may, direct)? or indirectly, encour*
age such a design; and, if any attempt of thia kind
should take such a form, that those who are guilty
-of it may, according to soeh advice as you may
receive from year law advisers, be made rcipon
i sible for thoir conduct In a court of justice, you

TEBBIfiLE EXPLdSIOX 11—MELAN.
CIIOLY LOSS OP LIFE.
One of the.most terrible and fatal explosions
ever known in this ci'y, took place ibis morning,
in the machine and press making establishment of
Alva B. Taylor, No. 3, Hagne street, at about
half past 7o’cioek.fcylhe bursting of a steam boiler
on the first floor of that establishment.
The building in which the. explosion occurred
waa a ax or seven story brick erection, on the
rear corner of an immense massive boilding owned
and occupied by Wn. Hull 6c Son. Tbe boiler
eras upon the first floor, by some said to be new,
by others represented as second band, but esti
mated to be as good as new. It was in use for
tbe first time this morning. Tbe moment the ex
plosion took place tbe entire mass of building was
uphenved and fell with a tremendous crash, al
most entirely upon its own site. So sudden and
complete was tbe ruin that we believe not a single
person escaped, aad the next minute tbe whole
mass was on fire.
So powerlnl wga tbe explosion that the shock,
like tbe trembling of an earthquake, was felt in
aome of tbe Mores in Broadway, n distance, in a
direel line, of abont a quarter of a mile, and was
probably felt at a greater distance. Tbe floors of
Messrs. Hall 6c Son’s boilding was lified up, and
the thick walls, both those adjoining Mr. Taylor's
establishment and those fronting on the next street,
were bulged considerably, although built ot unnsual
thickness, with reference to tbe possibility of fire
or other contingency.
We have heard the namber of persons employ
ed in the establishment estimated at froo thirty
to sixty, and have been assured that the latter is
not an over estimate. It is juu possible, how
ever, though scarcely probable, tust being Moo
day mornicg, and yet quite early, the whole num
ber had not commenced work. To this hope wc
would fain cling, though it has but a shallow foun
dation, and estimate the number killed ot from
thirty to forty. Six had been rescued when we
reached the scene, and it is a moral impossibility
that any who were iben coder the ruins could to
taken out alive. They wouldto burned, scatded,
or suffocated.
A gentleman, who wai in the immediate neigh'
borhood when the explosion took place, informed
ua that in the brief interval between tbe fallicg o£
the buildiag and the berating oat of the flames
be nw tie rains, and from the number of limb*
and other parta of bodies projecting from among
the ruin*, h» estimated tbe number of those parti'
ally visible at twenty Gve or thirty. It seems res*
goneble to suppose that many others would be en
tirely covered by the mass of brick, especially
those who were on tbe first door or in the lower
part of the building generally.
When we arrived at the place there had been
additional falling of the ruinr, probably some of
the beams, which m ghlbave fallencross-wise and
supported masses of the bricks, having given way,
and fire was fiercely raging and rapidly forcing us
way through the ruins. Tne firemen were com
pelled to plsy vigorously upon the entire ma'js.aad
tbeamakc and steam psrtially concealed tbe hor
rible sight. Astbe flames burnt up through this
dense cloud we caught a view fir a moment of
bodies partially honed, but not a hope could wc
indulge that any who were buried beneath those
bprning, smoking, deluged ruins couid ever be ta
ken out alive.
Wo have said that six persons were rescued.—
They were four men and two boys, sll of whom
were aadly bruised and maimed. Their name*
we could not learn. One of them had a bod still
under Ibo ruins. Women were eagerly inquiring
after relatives and tho scone was harrowing beyond
description.
Probably Eighty Persona Killed—more
Particulars,
Omt O'clock.—The foregoing waa prepared for
our raormag edition (hr the country, since writing
which w • have be* n for rome hours at tho eoene
of tho explosion nod Cilligration. Wo may here
say that tbe soap vat, retried to above, belonged
to the establishment of Wm. Hull ic 6oa. Alao
that tbe building destroyed was occopied by (wo
firms—Alvah 0. Taylor, and Durr & Company,
the latter firm being manufacturer* of hat tod
ies.
At the time of cur leaving tbe scene, about
twenty sutTercrs had been released from the ruin
and ice voices of others were h. ord, mil cryug
for help, end 's largo body of men were working
heartily to reach them.
Of those rescued only one wits dead, Eli Hull,’
employed in the machine shop of Mr. Taylor,and
residing In Broome street, jiorner cil ShuntT. IL«
face was sadly mutilated, aome heavy body having,
fallen upon the tower part of U. He Was other
wise mangled.
Mott ofthose rescued were takes to the Fourth
Ward ataUoo house, where Dr. Underbill,ofMcd
iaon street, rendered them every possible attention,
aided by-tbe police, under Capt Willaston, who
waa exceedingly attentive to llie sufferers, and
moreover afforded every facility to the press ia
their necessarily harried inquiries after tbe facta
of the terriblo catastrophe.

Frederick/SiTmel, boy, not much injured. A
noble youth, who, while the firemen and police
were tugging for them, called out to them and en
couraged and told another sufferer to keep up
his-spirits, as the men wruld coon reach them.
Jamea Odd, teg broken. Taken to the city
hospital
Ar about twelve o’clock another man waa taken
out of the ruins a: the rear, after almost aaperhu
man exertions on the part of the firemen, the suf
ferer having been caught between two beams and
covered with a pile of bricks. The beams bad to
be sawed, and the poor fellow kept waving his
hand, which he had thrust through the aperture,
in token that he atil> survived. More than once
the firemen had to stop and play upon the flames
which rapidly encroacned upon the locality where
the poor fellow was confined.
Jost as they were accomplishing his final release,
tbe fire behind and around him raged fiercely,
and the fireman was constrained to call out that
the pipe moat be played upon it. u O atop till we
get him out-—just a minute—we can stand it—
the man’s alive," the fireman replied. And they
did stand it, and saved the man, though themselves
mach scorched and nearly suffocated.
Next to this man, wedged in an angle between
two floors, were two other men, who also, by the
noble efforts of the firemen, were ultimately res*
cued.
One or these cried om soon after eleven o’clock
that he was not ranch hart, bat that they were
freezing him with water. Indeed, we wonder how
tho men contd handle the bricks and work at
well as they did, (or the water froxo almost as
soon as it fell.
These scenes took place in the rear, where, by
the eoartesy of Messrv. Hull & Son, we obtained,
a station for some time. The greater number of
inmates appear to have been in the rear of the
building, probably having been forced there by the
explosion.
In the front of the building, on Hague street
men were diligently removing the bricks, voices |
being heard underneath calling for help. Two |
men were rescued here at abont half past twelve,'
injured severely but not mortally. The cries cf
others were still audible.
In all there were about twenty persons rescued,
up to that time, the majority of these not severely
wounded. We believe that at least eighty are
missing, and it is not probable that more than hall
a dozen coaid be got oat alive.
The chief of police, though drenched to the
skin, was actively engaged in stimulating bis
men, whom be would keep at work the whole of
the day and night.
By the attention of Mr. McKellar, bia chief
'clerk, we obtained an introduction to Mr. Burr,
who took us to the residence of his foreman, Mr.
C- O. Je“jup, who narrowly escaped with his life.
What became of him at the moment of the ezplo*
aion he could not tell, but on coming to himseif
he found himself in the Eastern partoi the build*
ing, with much of the ruins laid upon his about
ders and head, but his leet comparatively at li>
berty.
By straggling be freed himself, and when we
saw him, though much bruised stout the head,
had sufficiently recovered to give the names ot
nearly alt the persons employed in Barr dc Co.’s
establishment. Hia clothes were mostly torn off
his batkl
Hero also we found another of the men em
ployed in Burr Co.’s hat bodv mskiog-eslab
iUbment, which was on the first floor oi the build
ing, the toiler and engine being in the basement
■lory, and Mr. Taylor occupying tho third, fourth
and fifth stories. The higher, part of the building
had not been occupied for some three weeks.
The name of this man was W. fo. Canfield. A
heavy beam of timber fell upon bia chest, and he
was still suffering pain in that region. He extrl*
cated himself.
The boiler was not new. It bad been used be
fore by Mr. Taylor, but given up because too
small, and used on board a steamboat
Tho operations requiring motive power having
been diminished lately, the boiler waa bought
bark, and was pa' into use about a week since.
We beard it said, but only by unauthorized
parties, that the engineer filled it t»a Saturday
night and lit the fire this morning, without trying
the guage taps, and that it had leaked so badly
that the water waa too low.
The following particular* are from the New
York Evening Express:—
“We learn that within the paat week, two
modifications ofthe boilers have been made, and
that it is thought possible that some defect of eilh*
er the material or the adjustment was the cause
of this sad accident.
Tho boiler had joet begun to grow warm and
tho machinery had made but a tew revolutions
wheo the explosion look place. The boiler was
one ofMorsan’a Patent with upright lubes, snd
the force ofthe explosion was vertical, passing
through the wholo of the six stories of the build*
Ing.
It is said the night watch of the building, who
left bm a few minutes after told the Engineer that
be was getting up too much steam.
In tho same building with Messrs. Taylor’s es
tablishment were Su John, Burr is Co, hat finish
ers who employed aboqt sixty men and boys.
Mr. Taylor, who resides in Newark, had not
reached the city at the time of the explosion.
Cntsy, the Engineer, bsa not been seen, and
with mnatr others is supposed to have been imme
diately killed. Indeed his escape must be con*
siderrd as impossible, considering bit proximity to
lie boiler at tho time of the exploisoo.
Most of the persons as yet extricated, were em
ployed on the second floor. Those oa the first
are supposed to bare been lost. There are innu
merable report* sfloat in reference in tbe number
killed. Some rating it as high atone hundred,
other* two hundred, li is pretty well ascertained,
bowever, that there were near three hundred peo
ple in the building at work at tbe lime, of whom
the Jut we give above, comprise all that were
lucten to have been extricated up to 12 o’clock.
U is hoped that there la some exaggeration In the
case, Jiut time only can show the extent of the
damage os the fire is prevailing to a great extent,
and the firemen are yet busy on tne spot, in en*
dcavorlugto rescue their fellow citizen*.
ExTnsonniiu*r Btsa* Exru>*ic«.—On Tuei
ds; night the people of Greenville, near Norwich,
Conn., were roused from sleep by the shock of
the explosion of two great steam boilers, used to
cleanse rags for a paper mill. The boilers were
6'led with ran, wst-r, and bleaching powdertj- »
that the entire weight of each boiler was about
eight tons. The steam was generated in boilers
situated some 75’ feet distant, and conducted to
the rag boilera by; an iron pipe, so that there was
on fire under or about them. The cause of tbe
explosion is therefore inscrutable. The watch
men of the adjacent mills saw the largest boiler fly
ing over their heads like a balloon, It rose to an
tmmease height, pud then descended to tbe esrth
with a conenttion that shook the solid ground.
The Norwich Courier says it waa found a thou*
sand feet distant, having been carried sheer over
the high factory buildings, the canal, railroad, and
telegraph line, beyond the railroad, and set down
ia much the tame position as that in which it stood
before commencing its stud voyage. A portion of
the bottom had ** dropped oat,” but, in other res
pects, ii looked nearly ss good aa new, except that
tbe bottom cud waa badly crashed by the violent
manner in whicji It was °er*ught up all stand-

: All things are measured by money: and when
motley is acknowledged as thechiefmotiTe power,
he who knows best how to amass it, cannot fail to
tie the object of attention. But the marked and
indiscriminate homage which la paid to wealth
alone, without regard to the chaxacacler of
the I possessor, or the means through which
lhatjwealih has been acquired, is, in our estima-
a feature disgraceful to tho age, and, were it
altogether new, would justify us in thinking that
the spirit of independence had deolined. We shat!
hold ourselves excused from Illustrating our mean*
tog by making special reference to a recent but
striking-instance, in which wealth suddenly acqui*
ied, : though by most iniquitous means, raised its
owner,{for a time, to the pinnacle ot public ob
servation. We prefer selecting from the pages of
Mr. l Fran cl* the portrait of a man whose character
displayed nothing that was great, geoerour,
benevolent, or noble; whose whole life and
whole energrea were devoted to the acquisition of
pelfi; whose manners were coarse j whose person
waa unprepossessing; whose mind never ranged
beypnd its own contracted and money making
sphere; and yot who commanded, in this England
of ours, a homage greater than waa ever paid to
viitbe. intellect or valor. Such a man was Na»
than Meyer Bothschild, the famous Jew capi
talist
Originally from Frankfort, this remarkable man
catie oW to England towards the close of last
century, and commenced operation-Un Manches
ter j where he is said to have speedily trebled his
drat capital of £20,000.
*aya Mr. Francis, “was the foundation
of that colossal fortune which afterwards passed
; into a proverb; and in 1600, finding Manchester
toolamall for the mind which could grapple with
these profile, Rothschild came to London. It was.
period when such a man was sore to make .
progress, as, clear and comprehensive in his com
mercial views, be was also rapid and decisive in
working out the ideas which presented themselves.
Business was plentiful; the entire Continent form
ed onr customers; and Rothschild reaped a rich
reward! From bargain to bargain, from profit to
profit, the Hebrew financier went on and prospered.
Gifiied with a fine perception, he never hesitated
in ketion. Having bought some bills of the Duke of
Wellington at a discount—to the payment of which
the faith cflbe stale was pledged—bis neat oper
ation was to boy the gold wbich was necessary t»
pay them, and, when be had porchased it, ho wos,
aafbe expected, informed that the government re
quired it. Government had it—but, doubtless,
paid for the accommodation. ‘lt was the best
ousinesa t ever dldf ho exclaimed triumphantly;
and he added that, when government bad got it,
it was of no service to them until he bad under*
taken to convey it to Portugal”
\Rothacbild was, in fact, a usurer to tho state, as
greedy and unoonalonablc aa the humbler Hebrew
wfio discounts the bill of a spendthrift at forty per
cent, and, instead of handing over the balance in
to bia victim, forces him to accept the moiety
in coali, pictures,or cigars. His information was
minute, exclusive, and ramified. All the arts
which bad been employed on Ibo Stock Exchange
in the earlier times were received) by him, and
new “dodges" introduced to depieis or raise the
market. I
\"One cause of hi* success was the secrecy with
watch he shrouded all his transactions, and the |
tortnous policy with which he intsicd.thoeo themost
who watched him the keenest. 11 he possessed
news caleniated to make the funds rise, he would
commission the broker who acted on his behalf
to eell halfa million. Tbp shoal of men wbn usu
ally follow the movements of others eolJ with him.
The news soon passed through Cspel Court that
Rothschild was bearing the market, and the funds
fell. Men looked doubringly at one -another; a
general panic spread; bad news was. looked for;
and these united agencies sank the price two or
three per cent. T his was the result expected;
and o ther brokers, not usually employed by him,
bought ill they could it the reduced rile. By the
time this was accomplished, the good news bad
arrived; tho pressure ceased; tbs funds rose in
stantly; and Mr. Rotbtchtld reaped his reward.
The morality of the ring has sometimes been
calledin question; but we freely eoafewjihtl w<*
would rather trust ourselves implicitly to the tan*
der mercies of tho veriest leg that ever bartered
hone flesh, than to (hose of tuch a mu as “the
first baron of Jewry”—a title which was given
him by a foreign potentate, to tho profanation of a
noble Christian order.
Sach were the doings.of Rothschild; let us now
see him in person. “He was a mark far the sat
irists of the day.- His bnge and somewhat sloven,
ly appearance;.the lounging attitude he assumed,
as he leaned against bis pillar in the Royal Ex.
change; hit rough and rugged speech, his for
eign accent and ldibm, made caricature mark him
as its own: while every caricature loWnilpow
er over a subject wbich defied Us utmost skill—
His person was made an object of ridicule, but his
lorm and feature* were (root God. His mind and
manners were fashioned by circumstacces; bis
acts alone were public property, by these wo
have a right to judge him. No great benevolence
lit up bia path ; no great charily la related of him.
The press, ever ready to chronicle liberal dteda,
was tdmost ailent upon the point;.and the'fine
feeling which marked the path of an Abraham
Goldsmid, and which bftghleaa the career of many
of the same creed, is unrecorded by tho power
wbich slope coaid give it publicity. 0
Poor as Ltzarua may be, let him not envy toe
position o( Dives. Even in this world, riches can
not purchase happiness. Any pecuniary lo*s was
enough to drive Rothschild to despair. His ex
istence was further embittered by the dread of as
sassio&Uoa—no uncommon symptom, where the
mind is rarely at ease; and those who knew him
best, said that he was often troubled with such
thoughts and that they haunted him at moment
when be would willingly have forgotten them.
“Happy!” he aaid, to reply to the compliment
of a guest—“me happy! what'happy wh en.
jtal as you are going to dine, Vou have a letter
placed in your hands, saying, If you do not scud
me £5OO, I will blow yonr brains out!' “Happj!—■
me happy!” We are not compassionate enough
to with that it had been otherwise. Such thoughts
are the foreshadowing cf the end ol (hose
who have prospered beyond their deserts, and
hare failed la making even that negative expire*

tho apprehensions of nnseruplous men.
A ConirottTty to U Setltd.—'U is well known
that an empty bottle berraa’icaUy sealed, when

resalt hat long been a matter of controversy among
scientific men. A gentleman who entertains an
opinion that a bo tlo can be made that cannot
be filled with water, has taken some pains to es-'
tablish his position, by having two bottles of thty
form of globes made of tho thickness of three quar
ters ol an inch, which are without hole in any part.
The bottles are to .be eotruaed to the care of Capt.

A CIRCULAR sent us by a friend, announcing the
formation of a now Transportation Company by
our late Agents at Baitimord and Columbia, impels us
thus early to apprise our friends and the public that
ruch makes no alteration whatever in«ur business,
cave the: chssge of our ageuls and location of our
warehouses at those points, both of which we have
effected advantageously for ourselves andour custom-
With the experience of fifteen years in the Trans
portation business, self respect, as well as a regnfd for
the intelligence of our puiroits, forbid us to tax tho
credulity,of the public, or eater for its amusement by
lengthened professions in print. We beg leave,there
fore, tossy, in general terms, that our arrangements
are ccnitderably oxtended; the convenience and ca
pacity of our warehouses, at Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Columbia, unsurpassed; our facilities
for regularity and dispatch increased; and our terms as
liberal os that of any other respo'nslble line; and that
r>ur freight, whether lu depot or in transit, is-always
innured treo of expetuo to tho owners.
W e appeal to our post conduct as an earnest of our
fuiure. and confidently look forward to a continuance
of that patronage which has ever been our study to
deserve und our pleasure to acknowledge. Under
such impressions, we shall be prepared at all times to
mn-t honorable competition; those resorting to any
other we shall neither envy nor imitate.
