It has ' frequently devolved ]upon us to
direet the public eye to the inconsistencies
and tergiversations of the two factions'which
compose the federal party of Allegheny :
county r A heterogeneous admixture, a mass
of iniredients without one single principl , :
of cohesion but the love of office, their course
has presented ft most aniusingspectacle , and
one too, well calculated to awaken regret
that men-could be guilty of conduct so in
mensely -contemptible.
One year the Gazettalknounced Thos.
Williams as "a vile spaniel," and applied
to him many other epithets equally vile, and
the next it was supporting him for an office
of trust and dignity. One year the same
paper pronounced Geo. Darsie a paragon of
4 , ignorance and impudence," and the next
electioneered for him with unmitigated
zeal. But these things are well remember
ed by' the people, and we will come down
'to the present time, and call their attention
to another fact which shows how-malleable
.the Antimasonic party haabecomesand how
easily and quietly it has bargained away its
political existence, and distinctive princi
ci pies.
03 the 30thufJune last, the Whigs of this
county, then -cal'ing themselves "Harrison
Democrats," assembled in Convention in
this city to nominate a county ticket—they
having resolved in-artt. of desperation not
to support the,ticlo:tiiade for them by the
Antimasons. this convention,
_we see
by the proceedings, HUGH ttIiTCWELL,
now the federal candidate for Clerk of the
Court, was a Secretary, and JOHN FOR
SYTHE, no*, the federal candidate for
Commissioner, - was:geminated for-that same
office. Among the resolutions it adopted,
was one charging the Antimasonic party
with "defection" from the Harrison party,
and a '.breach of faith solemnly plighted,"
with other expressions strongly reprobato
ry of their course. This convention also
Alume a committee to draft an address in favor
of their l'icket,on which committee was this
same HUGH MITCHELL. We have ta
ken from that address a few paragraphs to
show what Mr. Mitchell then thought of
Antimasonry, and how he and his friends
electioneered for MR. FORSYTHE, and
Ithe rest of their ticket:
"If it were true that Masonry, whieh we had
generally supposed to be dead, was,abont to re •
appear in a shape a* formidable as before, it might
(if any thing could exclue a violation of the faith
pledged in the State Convention,) constitute a good
reasun for the defection of the Antimasonic party
at the pros?.nt juncture from the Harrison cause.
We see no evidences, however, of any such reap-
pearanccs, except in the fact that the monster in
question has twisted- itself around the ancient and
goodly tree of Aminiasonry, until it,has reared its
head high above even its topmost branches. It is,
indeed, most true, that it has a-ostimed a degree of
boldness unknown to its past history in PUSH—
ING ITSELF FOR WARD AND TAKING
THE ALMOST EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION
OI• THE TICKET WHICH WAS ORIGIN
ALLY DESIGNED TO PUT IT DOWN. If
any • man had ever doubted the power of the
"Lodge," he must have had his incredulity stag
gered by the astourding fact that in the great
County of Allegheny, it was able to take the whole
Antimasonie party into its embrace, and to
PLACE A MAJORITY OF ITS OWN MEM
BERS UPON AN ANTIMASONIC TICKET !
It is no answer to say. that there are not -men e
nough who ti....e quallified for such trusts , in this
County without going for them into the Lodges,
because we now present you with a Legislative
ticket of much higher ability which is entirely
free from that objedtion,except, in a single instance,
and that, too, borrowed frog the Antimasonie
nominations. We do not know, indeed, when it
has before happened in this County that the ma
jority of a Legislative Ticket was composed of',
Mosops, and of Masons, too, who have neither
renounced nor abjured. You have indeed the
singular spectacle before you now of a partial'or
ganization on the one hand, endeavored to ho
_ay.
eused by the necessity Of poling down Masonry,
and a .ticket framed under its auspices composed
almost entirely of Masons,-while en the other you
have a general organizatiOn.without feferenewiti
that subject with a.:tio4t in. the field composed
alitiost. entirely of ...o;tnti*asoris, or at least of men
Whit have never been connected with a Lodge at 444
aIL If it be true that Masonry is again awaking
1 from its torpor and threatening. to subjugate the
land; it is but reasonable, we should think, that
those who insist upon a separation from the Har
lison party for the puipose of putting it down,
should be consistent at all events. It would have
' ken expedted , ofthem that they should propose
1
something in the way of legislation, and nominate
at the same time a Ticket of such a character as
might be fairly reckoned upon to carry out so ino.
portant an object. The new and improved process
however; of putting down Masonry by elevating
Masons, is one' which' we,. and. especially those of
-o - t• us who are Antimasons, cannot exactly cona
prebend. - We had. alWays supposed that it was
the political inikonce oPthe Lodge operating in a
secret way an Ming the. Legislaturealtnest ex..'
elusively with ite''.own•mernbers, which first thor..
oughly aroused the jealousy qf the people ant led ,
to the organization of a political party for the pun

We Cannot for a moment entertain the opini
that any RESPECTABLE PORTION EV
og THE ANTI-MASONIC PARTY will lend
Aemselvev to the purposes of the DISOROANI
ERS, by voting for a ticket which was not nom
'noted by themselves, and doer( not represent ei—
ther them or their principtes.
We have no notion that these tirtngs will
or can injure Mr. Hugh- Mitchell or Mr.
John Forsythe with Antimasons in this
campaign. N. B. Craig is on , the ticket,. l
and ,the Antimasons dare not, if they would,
ref4y Mr. Mitchell for his contumely be..
cause Mr. Craig Might suffer thereby.—
Buti as we — before remarked, how the once
rampant and bold spirit of Antimason
ry iS humbled and abased. Formerly,
.it
was, thought that Antimasonry could not
maintain its purposes nor preserve its honor,
wit out acting' for itself and by itself alone.
It was once a maxim of their leaders, that
whoever-wciuld act with them must come in
as Antimasons. Then, the resolutions and
midi - addresses of their conventions teemed
with animosity towards the lodge. But
things are strangely altered now. A con
vention to which Antimasons owe their tick
et deserves a single feeble allusion to Anti.
maisonic principles sufficient. And the
hitherto indomitable Craig, is a candidate
for whig suffrage, and thinks he has done
enough for Antimasonry by saying he is
still an Antimason, though he is on a ticket
supported by Whigs! Alas, for the blessed
spirit!
rr. The Gazette seems very anxious
to get up a controversy in relation to Mr.
N. B. Craig, and hastteen nibbling for two
or three days past at our notice of.Ylr. C's.
extraordinary "card," in which he so im
pudently denounces the Whigs, but says
not one word about declining to expect the
support of the men whom he so grossly in
sults and with whom he has violated a
compact solemnly made by his party. The
Gazette's reasoning has not convinced us
that Mr. C's. card was produced from any
other feeling than that of low party cunning.
We believe, a 9 we have already said, that
had he supposed there was the slightest
chance of being elected, he would not have
denounced the compromise, or at least not
until after the election. But, after thinking
over it about as long as he did over the po•
litieal character of his subscribers when he
was deliberating on the propriety of leaiing
the whigs for the antimasona, he felt assured
that his case was hopeless, and he then re
solved to trick the public into a feeling o
admiration for his "frankness."
The Gazette says that Mr. Craig heard
of the compromise before he returned home;
and we are informed by Mr. C. himself that
he disapproved of the Union; yet he per
mitted several weeks to elapse after his re
turn, before he came to the characteristic
oe xclusion of turning traitor to the party
that nominated him, and from whom, ac
.
I cording to the compact, lie expected sup -
port. Such conduct may pass for "frank
ness" with a party that has no correct no
tion of political honesty or honor, but a..
mong democrats, if they weta capable o
making such compromises, it.lrotild be de
nounced "as the basest treacherY.:.

and transfer their strength to Corwin, The
proposition was made to a leading Alin

,but
it was rejected, and at a public: tneeting,heW
a few days subsequent, the plot as disclo..

person to whom he made the 4 ropositlott.—,
The dtsclosuie has carried dismay into the
ranks of the Corwin men, and placed them
in a mcst forlorn position. They have now
-not the slighest hope .of making even a de

fear and trembling, feeling assured that at

Business in Philadelphia--Cheering.
Bicknell's Reporter, speaking of the business of
Philadelpia, says:
+.The signs around ns are certainly satisfactoty.
The languor and gloom are disappearing, the
noi.e of the loom and the sound of the haminpr
are again heard, and men seem to be rising &coin
the depre.sion and ads ersity which have so long
kept_thern to the earth."
The same welcome intelligence greets us from
every section of the Union. The papers frorrrev.
ery commercial ci'y, north, east, south and west,
have ceased their doleful cpaking aborit "hard
mes" and now talk of "revivals of business,"—
"cheering prospects" &c. &c.
Let all abandon their wild notions of specula
tion, bank facilities, &e., and become industrious,
prudent, and economical—be satisfied with a safe
and sure business, and we can (hen bid farewell
to panics and pressures, brought on by reckless
ness, and indiscretion.

:'.'The Star that never sets" us the whigs have it,
ia dancing about in a most erratic manner, and
if it does not become more steady in its course, it
will soon be lost from the Federal galaxy. Judg
ing from the returns received, we suppose Paine
is elected by about ono thousand majority. In
consequence of a large portion of the abolitionists
deserting their party and voting for Paine, the fed
eral candiJate will have 1963 more votes than last
year. The increase in the democratic vote alrea,
dy ascertained, is 1400, bnt it will Le several hun
dreds over this, as the exact vote in a number of
counties : :could not be correctly ascertained on ac-.
count of having only returned majorities.-- 1
The returns thus far shows that the- federalists
have lost since 1840, about 14000.
• Iti 182 tors, 78 democrats, 96 whigs and ons

is no choice. This is a nett gain OVEN democrat

The Gazette is mistaken in its surmise
as to the authorslutoirliti article which air
peered in our paptryestertlay, signed 'Sta
bility." The writer is . not only a political
opponen t of the' democratic party, but a
"liberty man" of the most decided kind.
We shall not retort upon the editor of the
Gazette by saying that he knew this fact,*
'but we say that he ought to have
known_ it fr . om his intimate connexion With
the Abolition piper.
We do not know 'Stab ility's" motive
for having- :his communication .inserted in

possible, and knowing that every body

MESSRS. EDITORS.—In looking over your col
urnns of the 15th inst. I found the rola wing words:
~ We should like to know what Elder Page has
to say for Joe Smith now."
It is well known that there are more Joe Smiths
Than one, and probably there arc more Elder Pages
than one. I suppose however that the Smith re•
(erred to is Mr Joseph Smith, Jr. the Prophet or
the Latter Day Saints, called Mormons; and the
Page referred to, my humble self. 111 am mis •
taken, please excuse rue.
Respected Sirs: I haste to let you know what I
have to say fur Mr. Smith.
Ist. 1 have been acquainted with him, political.
ly and religiously, ror_much of the time of seven
years. As a politician I know him to be a sound
democrat, according to the true spirit and policy
of our illustrious revolutionary fithers of 1776;
which was this, as I view it; "The greatest c
ount of liberty to the greatest number of persons."
As a religious man, I have ever foetid him
to be virtuous, just and upright; firm and steady
in the discharge of his duty to his family, his
neighbors, the world, and the church of Christ.—
And while he was a prisoner in the dreary prisons
of the state of Missouri, he was patient and resign •
ed,sthough bound in chains and fetters of iron.
As a prophet, I have found ban to be all he pro.
fes.cs to be thus far. I cannot believe him , - to be
guilty of what he is accused, for the following
reasons: Ist. It would be•impolitic for his own
interest; secondly, it woultthe strictly against the
chaste and virtuous principles of the Gospel of
Christ, which he so earnestly contends for. Our
society of Saints at Nauvoo is made up of cull%
grants ptincipagy from the states, and some from
the different populous cities of Europe and the
Canadas. We have cut about an average-slice with
other churches out of the great mass of mankind
as they rise; some high, same low, some rich and
some poor,some learned and some unlearned, some
refined and some unrefined; in fine,- we have done
as Jesus said we should do, we have "gathered of
all kinds, bo'h good atd bad."
I think Mr Smith knows as well as your honors,
or myself, that if he should,be_ guilty of those
things of which he is neeuserk.by his enen.ies,that
the whole church of Latter:Day Saints, called
Mormons, would forsake hien at once and leave him
to enjoy the society of his own shame and confu
sion. But it will take more than the mere ipse disii
of his enemies, or the testimony of prostitutes or
debauchees, to 'convict him, of such 'crimes as ariul:
tery, fornication, - theft, treason, k.. For these
things have been charged on him by his enemies,
, ever since and`before he had found one to receive
; blazes a prophet.
The excitement lately got up by J. C„pennett,
is not the first by twenty-nine in twelve fears; all
for what? I ask. To catchpennies by publishing
an "Expose of Mormonism;" whiii proves
-the-most easy and IxpeditiOus means 'of catching
. a penny these ladretimes.
I say I must and will receive Mr Joseph Smith
Jr. as a good man, and a prophet, until he -hi fairly,
reasonably and rationally proved to be mherwise.
As far a 3 I can uuderstanc:, by. n strict and critic&
research of the'Seriptures, 'or what constitutes a
i4rophet—by the research of the - book of normon,
,and the book of. Doctrine mad Covenants-÷which
kit mentioned books have come forth to the gaze
:and scrutiny of thi s the n ineteenth century, thro'
Mr J. Smith , jr, --1 must still Bay ho is a Prophet.
he.ohnuld ever be found guilty of crime, I shall
do by 'rim as Ido by David and Solomon of old;
I shall disdain the set of crime as much in the
character of Joseph Smith as in David arid Solo
mon, and yet as readily main the word of the
Lord, given throughllr Smith, 4.8 through David
and Solomon, as long as theyanipr_to be cloth.
ed with the same Divine authorikftbz the parti
cipation of the pristniset,and the flitHihassMt of pro
phecy. '
Let it be distinctly 64terstood, that the BOA of
Mormon, atrifthe Ekielt - of Doctrine and Covenants
is as strict against crinies such al . Mr Smith is ac
cused of, as the New Testament is. If we are
wrong in believing in these Books, where is that
good obristian Samaritan that will come forward'
and redeem us by showing us the better way; our
places of worship areepen, and we are teachable.

efficient missionary to Nauvoo; to tiara the Mon. ,
