An Oration, Delivered before the "Hibernia Greens," by Robert Porte,, July 4th, 1843 thrermeneri:—The untiring wheels of time have rolled around another year, end brought us togeth el'orice more to rejoice in our national prosperity and-nitional glory• iecordaneo with our usual custom, we have anaLlogether to join our rejoicirus wittilheee nt. our felluw•citizans all over our wide extended and happy country. The roar of the cannon that up on the return of this great national birth day wet. enmed the first ray of the rising sun as it gilded the auawnit of the lately consecrated monument at Bunker Hill, was joined by the answering roar of Cannon from the battle fields of Lexington and Concord, and their united echoes rolling on west virardijoined with the echoes from the Hills of "Beeiniattart and the Plaine of Saratoga,and spread northward and southward, till one united, univer eel thunder tone of joy rote up all over the land Nev 19 leans. - And at this moment while I am speaking, hundreds and thousands of others are lifting their voices also in commemoration of the same greet events; and millions of ears are listen ing to the story of their country's birth. On such a day, at such an hour, let us throw a• aide all party distinctions, let us banish all private animosities, let us forget all personal differences, tot the recollections of the glorious achievements of our fetlacra fill oar whole souls, till the millions of heartsin this great nation are filled with the same em otions and beat in unison as ono. However touch we may differ in views of policy - respecting the great questions which now agitate the nation, we arc all of one heart and of ore mind in duly celebrating the anniversary of that day, that secured to us and to the world the , klnesings of American Liberty. We are allot' one l Heart and of une mind in dilating as our inheri tance the glory, liberty, and prosperity our ances• terikave left us. We arc all of one he irt and of nee mind in cherishing with deep reverence the memory of illustrious Father or bit C un!ry, the immortal Washington. We are ell ofiele heart egtlolone cilia in wishing toeransinit to those who may come after us, all the blessin , of Peace red Liberty, which we have recited from those widirt have gone bi7rfore as. I , lthe day on which these Udite ; States were dc. elated free and independent, is peculiarly a day orinterest to the min rnedi l'd descendants of those tat,bo participated in the, thrilling a eras which se that indr:penden:e, buf not to those alone; every owe who his since that memorable day (IA hots the tyranny of the old world, and :onntl a refuge in t ,is asylum of the oppressed, is deeply interested in cherishing the recollection nr that mighty convulsion, that opened for them this as• sylvan, Had the power or Englan I triumphed in the American Revolution, would the half starved operatives of the Mother Cuero ry or the oppressed sous of "Erin's Isle" be now emigrating in thou innds to our happy country? Or won! I the wretched remnants of (Remembered Poland be seeking refuge here from the frosts of Siberial— would the crowded population of Geronany,the Mother Genially of England heiself, be Rucking here in crowds in team!' of that prosperity nod happiness which they cannot find at home. The American Revolution was an event in which the whole world was interested. the generous hearted Lo Fayette having been tau ht the new lesson of American - Liberty by the great and good Washington, returaed , to the vine dad fields of his own .nativelatid, and raised the standard of Liberty there. Rut the few pure pa triots who were struggling for freedom, were out numbered rind overpowered by the heartless dem. agoguers who were striving fur their own advance. meet. Hence the French Revolution although star4aginz, from the American Revolution was COMporatively a revs uti•on of Blond and Terror.— Vet,Fratice, after her long convulsive efforts, rose up-stgonger and more powerful than before, and from that time she has been constantly and stead ily improving. Though she may be longer in reaching the high condition of universal Liberty, With the example of the United States before her, she. cannot fail. Her last Kin 2, and be of the peo pWe DIM choosing. is pr. , bably n w on his throne. _ . , The land of Montazu na and Guatiiniizin itialU. lotted by the example of the United States, shook off the Spanish yoke, and then!' they have not yet reached the degree of pre :p •rity which we en joy, yst,their condition is vastly iinproved from What it was when they score mete appendages to . the Spanishlhrone. The South American Stoics have folowed the esemple of the United States, and emancipated themselves from Spanish thraldom. 'England herself has been compelled by the pro- 1 gressive advancement of human liberty to legia. late more favorably for her own laboring classes, I and unless she is wise in time she easy be com pelled to wade through seas of blood or lose fort v. el het hold upon Ireland. "Repeal or Blood," which has now become the watchword of millions of Irishmen is one of the remote fruits of the A mericso Revolution. When the Declaration of , leidepandence, sixtywseven years ago this day was publicly proclaimed in the halls of the Coetinen. tai Congress, the whole World advanced another step towards, universal Liberty, and that step has never been retraced. But, on the contrary, there has been since that time a constant and progress ire advancement. And now the beneficial effects of the Declaration of Independence and the sue eeeartil Revolution which succeeded it, may be traced in every Kingly Government in Europe. Every where the rapid and permanent improve ment in the great mass of the people indicates the progress . of man towards self government.— Universal education has made every man able to discriminate, capable of judging, and a sovereign in whose hands may safely be entrusted the pow er of governing himself. C 'amerce, AgricuL tare and the arts and sciences hare received a new impulse, and the. means of comfort and hap pinesi are placed within the reach of all. Wo may now, as ce sip our morning coffee, spread our morning paper before us, and converse with the whole wort.'.; we may see the value of our goods and manufactures in ((reign markets; the condition of foreign stocks, and the political e conomy of both hemispneres. We may read in the same paper, the speech from the hrone of Eng land, and the proclamation of Santa Anna, or the decree of the 'Brother of the San and Moon,' the Monarch of ths 'Celestial Empire.' We may walk on a carpet from Brussels to .it down to our mahogany. tab' c from Si. Domingo, and drink our tea from china, or C.,ffee from Ja. reales, sweetrord with Sugar from Cuba; we may fonst on our pudding, made of Rice front Louisie na,eprinkled with raisins from Spain, avid spiced with Cinnamon from Ceylon, or Nutmegs from tne Island of Celebes, or Pepper from Malacca. And as a desert, we may crack AlmoLds from Affghan. Wan, or eat Figs from Turkey, or Oranges from Porto Rico, and wind up with a 'long nine' from Havanna. Such a collection of the products of so many awl so widely ii:parated countries, once would have cost A princely rcrtune; now . they are on almost every m in's table. Nr; by is it that such 1 e airings has taken place' It was because the ' I power which was once claimed exclusively by kings and emperors, has been gradually assutoed and exercised by the people to whom it of right be. , lofts. And as soon as the people began to take part in the legislative councils; laws began to be sheeted for their benefit,and commerce and agricul. ture, with all their: train of bleb - sings revived. -- Tim rich man of five hundred years ago, had net within his reach so many comforts and luxuries of lith as are now within the roach of every one. The American Revolution differed in many re *Se from every other revolution. It was a rev °ludo° of pure right. The great question was, whethwr taxation and representation should be connected together, or whether the t. cation should be he the Colonies and the representation in Eag, land. It was not brought on bJ a lung succession of, of bkotitiAlFtra aid open It thereiiiii- had not for its Istiktett a isnY • tmiof revenge . a hope of curtirtnet , . tt irmonot gat , sp by a set of rtstnazozoes fd. their overper. social advancement, with the hope of -elevating theilselves into power. It was nut the result of hasty pas,ion and ex , Atement. It was not headed by rash ineso«riencert or ignorant tries, who could not mike a jodic ()us use of any advantaee they might gain. But it was the result of a long and thorough investigation of their rights and duties by all classes. It sprung from the purest philan thtopy and t ittriotistn. It was guided by wise, good and cautious men. It was carried on with a firmness of purposo that the great strength and power of the self-styled 'mistress of the ocean',. could not intimidate, and with a perseverance that knew no cessation or weariness. It was headed by a man who in caution, pru dence and coolness, rivalled the Roman Fabius; wlan in eoirage equalled the Grecian Alexander, but, who in nure patriotism, noble philanthropy and generous devotion to the• cause of human kb- , erty, and unreserved consecration of himself and all he hoped for hit- country, is without a rival.— Washington stands atone among warriors a con queror without ambition or desire of private bene fit. With the sword 'of the vanquished Cornwal lis in his hand, with England humbled at his feet and awed into renitence before his power, with an army devotedly attached to his person, and anx • ious.to elevate him to a monarch's throne, with his head encircled by the richest laurels that ever crowned a conqueror's brow, he bowed before the civil authority and surrounded with a smile of joy, all the power with which he had be-in entrusted, to the sovereign people from whom he had received it. At the command of the rook he drew his sword, aril at the commend of the people he re turned it to its scabbard Thus far, gentlemen, 1 have spoken of the grar cral topics which the ocersion naturally suggests. But I have not forgotten that the honor of stand. ing before my friends and fel!ow Citizens as one of the orators of this day, has been conferred upon me by you, zenticmcn of the tlibcrnia Greens. No invitation fro n any other source would have been so agreeable to myself and so cniirely in ac cordance wits my own feelings. For, in the first Plac`, you are a military company, and I love and honor the American Soldiery,‘the right arm'of our national defence.' I love and cherish them be, cause their military fame has never been sullied by disgrace or cowardice, but undaunted courage has everywhere marked their progress from the glorious commencemant at Lazington and Con cord, till their last crowning victory at New Or. leans. I love the American Soldiery Immense they hive never drawn the sword except in self defence, and because they have always-recognized the suPeri ority of the civil power. I love them because the same valor and uayiefding courage which carried them victorious through the two wars with the haughty 'mistress of the ocean,' who boasts -- that on her dominions, 'the sun never set=,' still burns with an urquenched and unquenchable flame in the breasts of the American Soldiery .now.— Let but the roar of the British Lion be heard once more in the United States, and you, gentle men soldiers of the Hibernia Greens, and all the volunteers of the land, would swing to your feet, and tenth forth to meet the intruder, every heart wonld swell with courage,—every step would be firm, and every tongue would utter the watch word 'give me liberty or give me death;' and the scenes of Stratogi, Yorktown and New Orleans would be re-enacted by the invincible soldiery of the present day. .11 I cherish with a forced teased the Am. lie can Soldiery in general, I feel . a much deeper and Istrongbe interest in that portion of them which I hate that boner 0 w to address. You are my rental* _citizens We are leokin,e for peace, pros ! pt-ritY. and happiness, in the permanency of the seme free institutions, the same American Eagle spreads its broad protective wings over our heads. and the Mime state recognize. us as freemen. Though yen are all true hearted Americans e;ther by birth or adoption, you are many of you Irishmen by nativity or by descent. Yes, you I can trace your origin to the same green Island that ihe mother country of the gallant Mont gotlie7y, the tearless Patrick Henry, and the firm !old Roman Hero Andrew Jackson. Yea, gentle. ! men, the blood of Irishmen wee freely plated out in every Lettte of the Revolution. The bones of Irishmen are mouldering in every battle ground !from Bunker Hill to New Orleans. And in every. struggle of the United States, Iriehmen have come up to her assistance. And then, as now, and al ways, whenever Liberty could be advanced, Ire land nas ready to "pledge her jewels" for its j support. And then, as now, and always, when !ever or wherever the great power of England was exerted for purposes of oppression, Ireland has made common cause with the ooressed. The I United Stales is therefore the home of the Irish. man. He has an inheritance here, perehased by the blood of his ancesters. L2t our arms then be opened wide to welcome them to our happy shores. And let us cheerfully, and promptly, put them in possession of those right and privileges to which they have so just a claim, There is another bend of union which unites us in our common interest; we a emost, if not all of us Repealer.. And why are we Repeaters? B cause we cher ish in our breasts the same prinei?les as wore held by dins.: whose vota consecrated the day, the anniversary of which we have met this day to celebrate. The American Revolution was caused by the attempt of England to tax. one part of her empire without allowing them an equal representation in her Legislative councils; and she is now attempt ing to continue the same experiment upon Ireland. Repeal then, to but alcontinuation of theArnerican Rciolution. And as the American was coma mcnced by a preparatory discussion of the right of England to tax America without her consent, so Repeal bas now' commenced with a discussion of the right of England to tax Ireland without her c ,nsent. And as tie Ani.'irican discussion was succeeded by a euccess'ul American Revolu tion, so that Irish discussion of Repeal will be succeeded by a successful Irish Revolution, or a restitution of her ancient ri g hts. Truth is mighty and will prevail. The fire of Liberty once kindled can never be quenched. Eng. land. though she boast that "the roll of her morn log drum follows the sun round the world," with all her power, can never consecrate a wrong, nor prevent the Uprising of the human soul towards true liberty, She canout quench the civine spark w ithin,that prompts us to rise above the limits that arbitrary power prescribes, and "calls no man m aster." Ireland has endured the cruel injuetice and op•• pre talon of England, till endurance has ceased to be a virtue. Her remonstrances, though long and loud, have fallen upon leaden ears, and now her tone 01 remonstrance begins to be changed into one or demand. If the policy of England is continued, Ireland has only ono alternative, to lay the last relic of hei liberty in the grave, or help herself to those rights and privileges which are now denied to her. Suppose the folly of England to be as great in her future treatment of Ireland as it waft to her American colonies, and suppose Ireland, the little fraction of the great British Empire, driven into a contest with her unnatural oppressor, what must be the result? will the fleets and armies of Eng land at one fell swoop, pounce down upon Ireland and blot it from the map of the world? By no means, Repeal is now the watchword all over the United States, and not only is it the sentiment of the Irish population of the United States, but the American people generally, are advocates of the CLMO doctrine. They could not be otherwise, forthe prtnciples of Repeal are American prima plea as well as Irish principles. They are the principles of liberty. They are theproperty of the human race. Hence we find Repeal meetings getting up in. all our principal cities, , headed by the most influential, the wisest and best men in our lan4. Repal, Louis. Mecioo. Ireland, - up_ lions a Repetleir4n the 'United State*, and all Liver the world, where Irishmen are fend, forget that there was•such acountry as Canada up north here? and would the Canadians, smarting from their recent wounds, and now watching with fe verish anxiety for an opportunity to throw off the gulling pike of servitude; would they, I say, not burst their bonds, as Sampson did from the green withes, as soon as the eye of England was !attested upon Irelani? And, when the millions allele subjugated people of Hindoostan, and Aff. ghanistan, who have taited the bitter draught of servitude, and recently had their appetite for re venge„ whetted by the sight of English blood, if they, I say, should see their conquerors struggling with Rebellious Ireland and revolted Canada, weuld they aot take sweet' revenge for the late chastisement? And when the "golden ears" of the monarch of the "celestial Empire" hoard of the manner in which her enemy, England, was busying herself, would not the riots of Canton be mewed, or rather changed into a general exterminathin of all the English within the limits of his ancient empire? And while this was transpiring, how would the Irish now in the regular army and navy of Eng land be occupied? Would they turn their arms against their awn cnuetrymen? And while Eng land was thus engaged, what would France, the ancient and ever jealuus rival of England be doing? would she fold her acme and coolly gaze on the drama acting before her. The first drop of blood spilt in Ireland in an at tempt to crush the principles of Repeal, like a spark dropped into a magazine of powder will. ex plode the British Empire. The scattered frag• ments will, reach round the world, but they can never vain be re-united into-a whole. But in all our entliusiesm for Repeal, in all our zeal to elevate Irelantl*to her proper rank among the nations of the earth let us not forget that we arc Americans. - Ltt us not forget the duties we owe to our own country. Lot us watch over her interests with a vigilance that never slumbers or tires. ThelLiited butes, rich in rseources, ins vincibhs in arms, victorious in all her contests hoth by sea and land, has nothing to fear from any foreign power. Our danger lies in domestic dis cord, internal dissension, corrupt logistic ion, une • qual administration of justice, and the unhallowed spirit of dismemberment, and disunion. Our dangerous enemies are all within the camp. Let us guard against these evils by every means with in our power. Let us cherish that kind of patri otism :that embraces our whole wide extended counUy; that stretches from the eastern Atlantic to the shores of' the broad Pacific, that knows no state limit?, or local jealousies. Let us feel and act as one people, united in one common interest, and resolved to share one common destiny. United, we have twice humbled the pride of haughty Eng land; we have compelled France to folfil her stip ulated contracts; we have silenced the cannon of the pirates of Tripoli; we have taken our place among the nation, of the earth, and compelled them every whore to treat Li with respect, and allow us all those privileges which we have a right to claim; united, we have increased from thirteen States to twenty.six., double the former number; united, our population has swelled, froth 3 millions to 18 niiPions. Sit times our original number; and united, our population will soon spread on wider and wider, till the United States shall be washed by the waters of two groat oceans, till the population of our great Republic shall out number the population of the Roman Empire in the day of its proudest glory, and until we become the most, powerful, the richest and the mightiest nation the world has ever seen. ."Union is Strength." Let us cherish it as the Palladium of our rights, the Talismanic charm that will protect us from aU harm. Gentlemen, our friends and fellow ci iz=os to the eastern part of our country, have recently been engaged iu erecting a monument in com memoration of the first great base orals Hero• lution. Hundreds arid thousands were there at. the consecration of that pillar of American Liber • ty, that granite record of American velar, and American patriotism. The President of the Uuis ted 9tates and his Cabinet were there—members of Congress, both Senators and Representatives, were there. Governors of Sates and fuer:xus of State Legislatures were there. Ambassadors and Consuls front foreign Governments were there.— Thousands and thousands of people from all parts of our cour.try wore there. And last hut not hest, one hunered of the Soldiers of Revolu• lion were there—twelve of them participants is tile battle of Bunker Hill, with hearts yearning la I visit again the scene of their own valor and their country's glory. They come with tottering steps to join their sons and grand-sons in dedicating this offering to American Liberty. While our fellow citizens on the eastern side of the Alleghe- , nies have thus honored and perpetuated the mem ory of thefirat great struggle with the tyrannic power of England, lel nut us, on the western side of the Alleghenies forget to honor and perpetuate the memory of the /Ist great battle with English power, the glorious battle of Now Orleans.— While we honor and revere the names of Put nam, Warren, and Prescott. let us not forget the honor and gratitude due to the illustrious hero of; New Orleans, Andrew Jackson. Let us strew with flowers'the remainder of his pathway to the' tomb. Let the American soldier who has genet." oualy bared his bosom and periled his life to @s cum to us the blessings of liberty, ever received the warmest sympathy, and the deepest gratitude of our hearts. And, I rejoice, gentlemen, that in selecting a person to preside upon this interesting occasion, your choice fell upon our worthy friend, who now sits before us. You, sir, are a soldier, You are familiar with the peal of the drum—you have heard the roar of musketry, the thunder of cannon, and the shouts of victory—and you have seen the ground btrewed with the deed and the dying. Yon were a participator in the glorious battle of New Orleans:and I rejoice that this op. portunity is afforded us, of thus in the midst of that peace and plenty which our victories have secured to qs, tendering to you our most sincere thanks, and our warmest wishes for your future prosperity and happiness. And now, gentlemen, fellow soldiers and fellow citizens, the hours of this day are swiftly passing away; and that I may not trespass too lung upon your patience I now conclude, hopdiug that the day we celebrate may never cease to be honored, and that our beloved country may continue to rise. higher and higher in civilization, power and glory, till "time on earth shall be no longer." Rain,—The people of Louisville ap* pear to have been favored with a greater quantity of this article than was agreeable. A very heavy and steady rain had fallen. Beargrass creek had run upon its banks, and considerably damaged the flat and coal boats that had harbored in it. The "Ken• tuckian" says there will be a rise in the River. Would that Mr Epsy would fur. nigh a small sprinkle in this quarter, for our farmers are sorely troubled, on account of the continued drought. Mr. Charles,—The Philadelphia Chroni. cle says:—The Arch Street Theatre will be opened this evening, for the benefit Of Mr. Charles, who has as usual, provided an excellent entertainment. Mr. Proctor, Miss Alexina Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Thep er, Myers, and others, have lent their aid. DAILY MORNING POST. re,. THILUPII rm. H. SMITH, EDITOR a OM, PROPRiicTon F TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1843 lee First page. 11Cr 1 n commenting on the note of M Kane, jr. published on Saturday,we spoke of an 'improper squib,' written to 'create bad feeling and division in our ranks.' As it seems our meaning was misapprehended, we deem it proper to state that we alluded to the article published first in the Aurora, the day before Mr Kane's article appeared, and which, as he states, called forth the communication signed 'A Democrat.' MEETING OF THE TAILORESSES AND TAILORS The - Tailoresses, together with the jour. neymen Tailors, met in Temperance Hall, 'yesterday ofternoon, for the purpose of discussing the best. mode of ameliorating their condition. The journeymen, who had had a meeting preAiouttly, where a committee was appointed to draft resolu tion, marched in procession to the Hall, where they found the ladies assembled. Mr. DANIEL WEARTS was called to the chair, and John E. Montague And John Ward, appointed Secretaries. The chairman, in a brief and excellent speech, stated to the• ladies and gentlemen present, the object of the meeting. After which, the committee, which consisted of Peter Scully, D. Wearte and Henry Palmer, reported through their chair man, the following preamble and res. olutions, which were finally, adopted un— enimously: Whereas, The. depressed condition of the Tai foresees of this city, arising from excessive toil for wages insufficient to provide necessary suede. nance to sustain life. And Whereas, The mis erably small pittance of wages doled out in orders or truck as wages for labor, can be consideredun ly as gradua4 starvation amidst wretchedness of which the wealthy can form as adiquate concep tion. And Wtereas, Such truck payment is a cruelly, cunning and ingenious refinement of ava rice, devised for legally robbing the working class es, and upon the female portion literal; it fas tens its fangs with the rapacity of the hyena, therefore, in order, hereafter to check its power, and protect ourselves against its dreadfully im moral Jayaees, and hav ng learned by experience that much of its power and our weakness consists in' our being isolated from each other, from this time forth, we will unitedly concert measures. for mutual protection, and to do so effectually, we hereby unanimously resolve, That we will not accept orders here ,fter as payment ter our labor, and that rather than sub mit to this oppression and degrading system any longer, we hold it as preferable to demand public subsistance. Firs ,lvett, 'I hat the rates of prices now re ceived for our labor even if paid in hard money would not be more than with 14 or 16 hands un. ceasing application to daily toil would keep us from starvation, or merely vegetating, not lit iug, therefore. we hereby resolve, That we demand en increase of ware in mount sufficient at least, to provide us i t return, for ten hours labor, with means sufficient to meet. the indispensab'ae wants of human nature. Mr Palmer being called u pon, made a neat and appropriate speech, in which he portrayed the wrongs of his brother jour neymen, and those women whose necessi. tibs compelled them to labor from 12 to 18 hours per day to support their helpless families. Ho was followed by Mr Ward in a very happy attain of remarks, in which he earnestly urged the women to unite for their own protection. A lady here rose and stated that she had a large family to support, and was compel- led to w.)rk from 5 o'clock in the morning until 12 at night on coats, for which she received 37 cents'a piece. Another lady said that she also had a family and worked on pantaloons for 18i cents a piece. The ladies then,'by a resolution, consti tuted themselves a committee for the pur. pose of organising a society for mutual protection. and to draft a bill of prices.. We regret that we are unable to give the substance of the remarks of the chair man, Mr Weans, and Messrs Palmer and Ward. They stated many as tounding facts in relation to the condition of the Tailoresses and Tailors of this city, which has heretofore been kept from the public. We do most sincerely hope that they may succeed. The louder Pic-Nic. The Fourierists are now busily engaged in making preparations for the grand Pic— Nic, which they propose holding after har: vest. The camp ground at the six-mile ferry has been engaged, and a most excel lent band of musicians have volunteered their services. Ladies and gentlemen, (who have always been in favor of Associ lion, though not exactly on the Fourier plan,) will be invited. Let them get ready. Each lady, of course, must take a basket of the "good things of the season," es her portion, towards adding zest to the festivi ties of the occasion. illarm.—The alarm yesterday about 11 o'clock was raised in Hay street.

I OtrA, corresPondrot or Mt:Prowls:Was Aerial mad Robert Whitford, to the house, and editor that die et at Warren, RA ,inforuts the edit on the bed, of a man named Nix, with GdrOnor Caw. Jr ,in that town, was' most abooli. whose wife, it was suspected, Whitford ingly murdered no Tuesclay, but furnishes no psi had been criminally familiar. ticulars The deceased was found with his throat cut, the jugelar vein being separated, the windpipe completely severed, all the arte ries cut, and the throat presenting an awv ful gash. Foul play was suspected, more especially as the body was said to have been discovered by Nix himself, from whom the intelligence of his death was re• ceived by a neighbor. A coroner's jury, however, eat all night, and next morning, after weighing the evid.ince adduced, found that the de ceased had committed suicide. Still the circumstances are ao singular, the excite. ment so great, the doubts so weighty, that there are strong suspicions yet afloat that the deceased was murdered API 7 ennynni ou.r Nix's testimony before the Coroner is in substance as follows:—He returned home about half past 8 o'clock and found his wife drunk, She fell from the chair, on which she had been sitting, to the floor, and remained in that situation for an hour and a half. He then got ready and eat his supper, when he went to seelif the bed was made. He had no light. He went up to the bed, and saw that the bed was bare, the clothes being drawn on the far side; he saw by the light of the moon; when he approached the bed, he smelled a curious smell—a smell as of some person; he put his hand on the bed and felt a body, and something moist on the bed which al armed hira; he then got a light, and went into the room and looked at the face of the deceased, and saw it was Robert Whit ford; witness saw blood, and thor.ght the deceased had been fighting; he had no idea of anything wrong at the time; the deceas ed's mouth was wide open and he sup. posed him to be sleeping; on a closer in spection he saw his face looked depdly pale, and then he saw the gash in hi s throat. He went down stairs and called the doctor to come up. The popular impression was that Nix discovered his wife in the embrace of ber paramour, and while he slept, had, with hasty hand, become the avenger or his own wrongs. Nix's wife is represented to be a gyro-' man of abandoned and dissolute habits and has been repeated:y confined in the' county jail at the intercession of her hus• band, fur drunkenness and disorderly con., duct. Nix is now 50 years of age, and his wife nine years younger, and from all the reports gathered on the spot, his la. ment that fur twelve years, he has been made wretched by her conduct, may be fully appreciated. The above facts we have gathered from the N Y Herald, and Phila. Spirit of the Times. What has Mr. P. Madeira done to the blue noses? We observe that a correspon dent, evinces a disposition to buy Mr. M. into the Morrison controversy, and to make him feel the ruthless lash of Antimasonic vengeance. Has Mr. Madeira cut loose from the blue noses, and with the charac. teristic wisdom of a gentleman from •'old mother Franklin," attached himself to the Whig cause. Presidexcy in Virginia.—The following extract of a letter from the Valley of Vir• ginia we find published in the Richmond Enquirer: "In the manifestation of growing warmth between the friends of Mr. Van Buren and Calhoun, and. the possibility that they may get their feelings en committed, that neither will yield to the other in the cons vention. I have heard it again and again remarked amongst the people, that in such a contingency they would, with most hear ty zeal take up MR. BUCHANAN, and, by every prudent and fair means press his claims to final success." VP We negle'ted to aunounec the death of Washington Allston, alike distin.. guished as a painter and poet. Mr. A, was one of the most gifted men in this country, and has contributed his full share to elevate the American character, and to advance the cause of literature and science. The editor of the Cincinntiti Message met with quite a cool reception from some of the craw of the steamer "Adelaide."
