H. Elliott, M. D., of Allegheny, takes strong ground agaiubt the practice of clergy* men certifying to the value of Patent Medicines, in a Letter to Rev. Dr. McClusbey, who has lately lent his name for ibis purpose. Dr. Elliott lays down several positions, whieh be flhutrateaand argues with very eon»;dersl*!a skil* and force. Our limits will only permit us to give the positions, which are as follows: 1. The certifiers lend their influence to sustain a C-faf of men who are guilty, either or imposture, or ot conduct incompatible with true chanty. II the medicine is worth any thing the "Doctor think*that bothichristian charity and profession* at honor require them to disclose it for the good of mankind. He gives Dr. Jenner, as an illustra* lion, who, whon he had discovered the preventive power of vaccination, did not.pervert it into a means of speculation. 2. The certifiers are ignorant of the ingredients In the various patent* whoso curativo powersthev endorse ; but even if they knew them, acd their ordinary medicinal power*, they are iocompeten' to pass jadgmeot thereupon. The “n* »u’»r " axiom is as apposite here rb in painting. Indeed, for more bo. . The rao*t learned and experienced physician hirnsslf*b!tsn foils to make distinctions, as to the mode and extent of the curative «pera tions of medicines, satisfactory to his own mind. And this ftilnre proceeds from, and is prool 01, hi* skill. Where the ignorant jumps to sudden and •are conclusion, the more cnlighuioed be«uates, pauses, and, perhaps, retrace* his steps. • 3. The certifiers do great minhiet to the rick in inducing an unin'elligent andindtscriminalinguse of the nostrums thus endorsed. This mischief follows from the incompetent character of the en* dorsetncnt,as shown above. And the injury dooc wiU be proportionate exactly to the influence of Iho individual furnishing the certificate. Hence clerical certificates aru the ones most to Ni dep recated. The opinions of oo other class of men • exert so much influence in a community. ThaDoctor advises clorgyra-n, under this head, that what may have cared him may not cate an other. . The old 'rale of “ What is good for the goats is also good for the finder,” is not applicable to medicine. 4. The certifiers lay themselves open to the two charges of an uninformed, and, therefore, unbe* coming interference, and an improper disregard oftbe vices and rights of the medical profession, v Under this head the writer is very severe, but wo can only take an extract. Speaking of the medical profession, the Doctor says . DoCTsbe ask too orach when the demands that the members of that profession {the clericitl] ac knowledgesnnd respect her rights ? She, tb« very best anthorityjn the matter, has declared, and on the highest mbral . consideration's that the whole system of patent rgedipinca—of secret cosinrtns — is “ fneonsistent with beneficence," equally “ de rogatory nod repreahnsib'e; ” and is her voice logo for naught? -Is nor demand too exacting when she claims this nxvher special province ? The ease is a plain one. Wilh the same propri ety that the reverend clergy raraish certificates to .patent medicines, might the physician endorse the inanities and blasphemies of Jo Smilhs’a Mormon Bibb, or dictate to the dying mkn whe and of what sect the clergyman shall be that ministers by his bedside! \ WasHtaoroJiV Eisth Dat.—To day is iberan niverary of him who was “first in war, first in peace,and first in the hearts of his countrymen, la the contemplation of the history of this great and good man,thehesrt is crowded with feelings of mingled emotion.

Tax WxrrxxjilUzuaiß.—A few days ago, • Urge md road Meeting was held at Mansfield, Ohio, to promote the construction of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, through Richland Conn* ty* The proceedings are reported in the BfaujUld Skidd. Mr. Larwill, one of the Directors, at tended, and we make the following extract from his speech. “It depends upon yon of Richland, to say whether onr road .shall , halt-in It* ptogzen when it reaches LoudonvQle, or whether it shall be pushed onward through your county. You have now no director In yonreonnty. The people of Pittsburgh have done the moat for the road, sad they very fairly claim to have the moat to say ia the management of the road. The tub-, ject it becoming of more and more inter*** to them. They assist no other project, and this will receive their undivided support- They now wish to construct that part along the rivar with their own money, which of itself will do a remunerating business. They desired a quorum of the Board at Pitts* burgh, and consequently the city has fourdirec tors, while Ohio has three. The Board Is ihoa more efficient, and Ohio ia represented along that portion where there is now any progress making. As the Director nearest to Richland, I am re* quested by the Board, to watch the interests of the road in this county, and I hope the little assist ance I may be able to give will be as cheerfully received as it ia cordially offered." Mr. Stranghan, the President Engineer, also addressed the meeting, and explained the potieV of the company. Mr. Pnrdy, of Mansfield, then aroee, and said be had a resolution which he proposed offering. He knew this county had been alow to move, and he considered this whipping well deserved.—Old Richland was sneered at by our neighbors—the counties West ofca. Crawford with her $150,000 trying to lodoce tow rail nod to come through their county, they might well sneer at us, bat. be hoped not long. Richland could, and would, re deem her st*nding,*nd he believed an organised effort would undoubtedly succeed. To test this opinion in this' fall meeting, he would offer the following resolution: Eaolcnd, That we esn,and will, raise the ne> eessary amount of stock to grade and bridge the Ohio and. Pennsylvania road through Richland county.' Mr. Bartley hoped every man would vote in accordanoe With hit opinion. The propriety of making the effort now depends upon public opla* ion, and be hoped to bear it clearly expressed in tbe vote. Some further remarks proving that a oombined and earnest effort would succeed, were made by Mr. Bartley, when the resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Brinkerhoff spoke on the mode of organis- ation, and offered a resolution that when this meet ing adjourned, it adjourn to meet every fortnight, to hear the report of the committees engaged in procuring stock. A resolution of thanks to Messrs. Larwill and Stranghan, was also adopted, sod tbe meeting adjourned. We are glad to see this vigorous motion on the part of the cUiieas of Riehland county, and we un derstand that the smoant subscribed ia the conn* ty now amounts to one hundred thousand dollars. Califoxhu.— *Tho Baltimore Ameriean says that there are at the present time a larger number of vessels loading at that port, for Califoraia, than at any one time tinea the discovery of the golden de posits* in that distant region. The same is tree of all the Atlantic ports, while passages by the steam* ships, by the way ef Panama, are engaged for months ahead. Notwithstanding the diaeonraging accounts which are received by every arrival, of the poverty, sickness, and death, of many of those who have tried the golden land, thousands of oth» era are ready to ruahrinto the vortex, and risk ev» ery thing which makes life desirable, sad even Hie itself, to try their luck in the desperate venture for wealth. Among the vessels now departing, many ef them are loaded with Inmber, and other building materials. The ship Louisa Bliss, of Beaufort, N. C., left that port on the 4th intt-, for Son Francisco. Among the articles composing her cargo we notice 212,000 feet lumber, (70,000 feet of whieh are in bouse frame*) aud 30,000 bricks. The ship is said to have drawn 16 feet water when she left her moorings, and went to sea in 40 minute*.. The aggregate receipts of California gold at the Untied Slates Mint, up to the 15* more have teen taken to tbe branch mints, and that probably half a million is in private hands, making the aggregate el Cali fornia gold brought to tbe Atlantic seaboard abonl ten and a hall miflion* of dollars. THE lIARnOSIOCI DEMOCRACY OF* NEW YORK. Tbe following spirited account of the late Lo* coibco meeting at Tammany Hall, we takelrom the New York Tribune. It will be aeso with pleasure by our reader*, that there ia but little prospect ofharraony among the discordant ma terial* which form the unhallowed coalition of the divided Democratic party of that State: THE ROW AT THE WIGWAM. Old Tammany was the acene of an unusual amount of the most inteaae“Uaion and Harmony” on Saturday evening leal. A call for a mats meet* ing of those opposed to the Wilmol Proviso, sign* ed by Edward C. West, James T. Brady, Daniel E. Sickles, Robert J. Dillon, and ten others of the Hankerest of the Hanker General Committee, had been several days publicised in the papers. Huge posters had been stuck up throttghoat the city,be seeching the. faithful to boon hand. Tbo public sentiment lor the occasion had been carefully pre pared and embodied in- a aeries of resolutions, boiling over with patriotism and sich. It bad all been arranged who should figure as offiaera, and that Chat. O’Conor, James T. Brady, Daniel El Sickles, Robert H. Morris, Edward Strahin, John McKeon, and Frsoeia B. Cutting, should do the •peaking; and to all appearance things bade tair for a “decided demonstration." But alas for the uncertainty of Iranian calculation 1 CapL Rynderi Ex Aid. Pardy and other*, who dfduT aign the call for the meeting, were on the spot a little too early for those who did, and taking possession of the committee room and the large Hail, had every thing their own way, . - Capt. Ryoders opened the hall by nominating Mr. Purdy for the Chair, which he took amid a tempest ofyelli, hisses and groans. Mr. Sickles made hia way to the aland, and nominated' Chaa.

SeveraloU}* era, who ventared to murmur disapprobation at the proceedings, were rudely ejected from the Hall. The chairman read a aeries of resolutions smid such turmoil and confusion that it was impossible lor soy cootdderable portion of those present to hetra word.be uttered. Tbevotewastakenand the resolutions declared adopted, though a good many voted Nay. The first Resolution (as print* ud) assarts that the hopes of Freedom forth* world are centered inlbs perpetuation of the American Union. The seeood cells down terrible impreca tions on the beads of those fanatics, whether North or Snath, who are plotting disunion. The third advocates a strict construction of ihoGooattration. The fourth asserts the duty of Congress to admit California as a Slate. The fifth announces what "will probably be interesting news to those who left Tammany with acre beads, vie that “the di visions in tbe Democratic party have been happily adjusted,." The same resolution rejoices la the antiripabqn of victory “with all its attendant blew* fogs tothexwuntry." Of course tbe Spoils are not ionlnded in (he "attendant blessings.” After til adoption oftbe resolutions, yells were given for Ryndefe, Brady, and others. The Cap tain took the standNrad, after gesticulation to (he groaning and growhngmeaagerie for about fifteen minutes, he was heartK to say, “Put that white livered scoundrel out of the house!" (referring to an obnoxious individual with a a hooking bad hat). The mandate was obeyed, and. comparative quiet having been restored, the greatsgun of tbe ptrty west on with hla speech, in tbe‘bonne of which be declared Mm-dt not only in favofrpf a union of the ‘Democracy,’ but very decidedly favorable to a ooaUnuance of the present Union of thei Ameri can States. So tbe Country is tafo at Ink. ' Hr. l*oreoxo B. Shepard followed in a speech about the Union, Gen. Jaekson/and the Syracuse, Utica, and Herkimer Conventions. Tbe- other x Speakers were Judge Groves of Texas, and Henry Arculariua. Others were loudly called for-by those who had not seen the bills and didn’t seem to understand when tbe farce was over, bat the knowing ones made a rash'for the door, tbe gas was turned off, and thus ended the Great Union Demonstration. Wo heard one. Free Softer congratulating an* other on the result as a Free Boil triumph, bat the other replied, “You were not present, 1 reckon, when those tremendous groans were given for tbe iVilmot Proviso, and Martin Van Baren." The fuel is, tbe whole quarrel has nothing to do with principle, but isi a scramble to see who ahall be at the head of the party, and ao aland the best chance' for spoils, in case lira people of the city ahall ever again ao far forget themselves as to submit to loco loco rale. CauroxMia Lira.—A resident at San Francisco, In a letter to his friends is Boston, gives an amos* lng account bfflia shift* .which a largo portion of the emigrants to that new El Dorado, are driven, in order to precare a livelihood.

Does any one sappoae that she will rive on all this tide of prosperity for the rate tf following the baleful wildfire of disunion.” Tbe writer also undertakes to speak for Virgin ia, in thiswise: “She loo,is pushing-*her railroads and canals ft tbe Aiieghanies fb reach the waters of the Ohio, la a few yean Ute immense proJocts of the Dortbweatern Sates will be pooriog into her lap, and half a million of people will be assembled at Norfolk and Richmond to onload railroad cars and - canal boats from the west and dispose of their car goer. . She baa notime to think of disunion; nor does she wish to bring Canada five hundred miles nearer to her borders by converting the Sute of Ohio iato a foreign territory." And as for the Northwestern States, tho “ Old -Farmer,” shrewdly intimates that they will certain ly not relinquish their market atNewOrieaos. Bat add to this: “la a few years tbe United States will be en*. gaged in making a railroad from tbe waters of tbe Mississippi tothe Pacific oeaan—a work ot great er labor tun tbe wall of China or tbe pyramids of Egypt.

COBDEN. FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of me Pittsburgh flazettr. WaanmoTOS, Feb. 19,1850—8 r. u. So far aa appearaneea indicate the revolution threatened by Cliogman, in his late incendiary speech, has commenced. In pursuance of their purpose of keeping oot California, “ at all hazards and to the last extremity," the slavery faction has been deliberately engaged, since twelve o’clock this morning, in'consuming time by calls of tbe yeas and nays npon pro forma and frivolous mo- tions, as a means of staving off action, and atop' ping the wheels f»f legislation. Gov. Doty, of Wisconsin, this morning, moved a resolution instructing the Committee on Territv riea to bring in a bill for the unconditional admis sion of California. A motion to lay this resolution on the table was defeated—ayes 70, noeslSl. Thia was so significant, an indication of tho tem* per of the House; upon thia great question of tho day, that the ultra men from the slave States took the alarm, and instantly resolved to bring their tactics into play. But tbe free Stales moved on one step farther, they called the prevlona qucs» lion. It was seconded—ayes 90, noes 72. Then began the revolution a la Clingman. Tbe question waa on.;applying the previousqnestion. The aontbern members wore determined that thia motion should not be put, because it it were the House would bo to the direct vote on the instructions. The game was therefore commenced of calling tbe yeat and nays on motions lo adjoprn, which alternated with motions on tbe part of southern membejs to be excused from voting.— Aa this, amusement has been going on lor eight hours, the roll tits probably been called about twenty ?wo times. - f What the result will bo u u impossible now to tayj both parties appear determined to adhere to their positions, and to sit all night, but, in contests of thia kind, the'minority has always tho sdvao* I*6®, *°d 1 therefore presume that, ere morning dawns, our friends will have yielded on this par. llenlar point. Some ct them think it of tiule con* sequence, or, rather, think it of little uw la urge the House to maintaiu a conflict with the minority upon a point of secondary importance, when the rules give tbe latter such a manifest advantage. Still, as I have said before, it often becomes a mat* ter of vital necessity to adhere to a stand once la« ken, though it be not the exact spot on which the final trial of strength is lo be made. It was noticeable to day that Mr. Buchanan stood In the middle aisle, at the most critical stage of the proceeding*, exerting his infiaenco' over the Pennsylvania Democrats, to indace them to oppose the demand for the previous question, and, of course, the final passage of the resolntion of in. •traction*. I observed that one or two member*, •apposed to be more especially under old Book’s nod and beck, obeyed his wishes and directions by going through the tellers against the previous question. The rumors respecting a change in tbe Cabinet continue. I have stated the substance of them in previous letters, and shall venture no farther spec- ulations npon this delicate subject. I learn from the best source* that the Democrats expect to pass (he Bradbury resolutions calling for tho reasons for tbe dismissal of Democratic of fice holders, and that they will not act upon auy moro appointments, unless under ipeetaJ circum stances, until an answer bn received. 1 stiD donb* whether they ean pass the resolution, and, if they do, I very much donbt whether the President wil 1 answer it. Mr. Meredith haa'a levee, this evening, which* from the notes of preparation perceivable in sceis] circles, may well be expected to be a crowded and brilliant affair.

One young man re cently laid a thousand dollars on rouieito table, and,at one turn oftbo wheel, won twenty seven thousand. It was hit first and last mghton shore. He went alright back by (he steamer. Two hun dred thousand dollars were seen upon s card last night. There are fifty gambling bouses; for the place, splendid buildings, with some forty tables each of different games.
