REPUDIATION.
Some of the Whigs seem to be at a loss for words to
express their horror of repudiation, and wish to make
the world believe that itisnsin exclusively Democratic.
When a Democratic State becomes unable to pay her
debts, through the derangement of the currency and the
swindling operations of the Whig banks, oh ! that State
'hes disgraced the whole Union by repudiation ! This
is the cant of those modest gentlemen. But when the
Bank of the United States, by a long course of cillany
and cheating impositions upon an unsuspecting commu
• pity, is rendered unable to meet her, ust debts—redu
'cing hundreds of thousands of families from opulence
to beggary—oh ! ! this not repudiation ! this is only lo
•gitimate banking: Mr. Biddle is a mighty good man—
Ms misfortunes are brought upon him by the evil times!
Yet Biddle and his infamous bank have been the main
'cause of the necessity which has disabled the State of
'Mississippi from paying her debts, and driven her to
'repudiation.
his haste to get rid of his worthless shinplasters at
any price or no price, lie received inexchange for them

We.. a ilia ally issued, and for which the State was not
in rettl'.'r responsible. Do you everhcar a whig news
paper say a word against Mr. Biddle for his participa
tio^ i i this operation, by which the credit of Mississippi
wes ruined, and the thousands of innocent planters re
ceivedpayment for their crops in an utterly worthless
paper currency? The bank swindled the State into re
pudiation; and the bank is so immaculate and glorious
an institution, that Mr. Clay has pledged his political
life to procure another just like it. But the wicked
Missi ,sppi ! She must pay her debts ! Robbed by
Biddle and the Whig bank managers of her last cent,
and crippled in her credit, they damn her to everlast
ing infamy because she cannot pay her debts !
- A similar process is going on in this State, and it
vvili have a similar termination, unless some power in
terpose to save us. Whig bank directors are pursuing
aline of policy which leads inevitably to the goal of
Sesolvency on their part, and unless checked in time by
;sir stockholders or by the legal authorities, to repu
diation on the part of the State; and then (as in the case
of Missi.3sippi) these directors and their mercenary
r,wspapers will be the first to raise an outcry against
Democracy for inability to pay the State debts !

PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY. AUGUST 11, 1843
REPEAL IN P ELY lA.-It is gratifying to per
ceive that the cause of Repeal in Philadelphia, although
it received a momentary stroke from the effects of O'-
Connell's speech, is again making gratifying progress.
A new Association has been formed by those who aro
exclusively devoted to Repeal, and are determined not
to "intermoddle with Abolitionism or othor extraneous
matters." Two meetings of the new Association
have been held, at the last of which an immense con
course of people was present. Judge DORAN was in
the Chair. A letter was received from the Rev. JAs.
MA.Los EY, of Easton, enclosing $lO3, with a request of
97 gentlemen of his vicinity to become members of the
Association. Twenty-soven other new members were
then elected, and money to the amount of $134 paid in.
The Rev. Mr. RAFFERTY, of St. Francis' Church, Fair -
mount, became a member during the evening. The
whole business of the evening was marked by enthusi
asm and good feeling, and the most happy effects can
not fail who produced by the action of this Association.
The old Association, we are pleased to observe, still
flourishes, and the efforts of the members in the cause
of Ireland, do nut seem to have flagged in the slightest
degree. A meeting was held on Saturday night last,
at which. hi the absence of Mr. STOKES, the President,
Mr. NlcLatimstra presided. A letter was read from
J. W. DWYER, Esq., Sub-secretary of the Dublin Royal
Repeal Association, acknowledging the receipt of a re
mittance of .£4OO, from the Association in Philadel
phia. The tone of the letter is full of hope and confi
dence, and highly encouraging to the friends of Repeal.
After the reading of several articles from the late Dub
lin Repeal papers, the Association adjourned to meet
on Saturd ty evening next, the 12th inst., which will be
the anniversary of O'Connell's birth day.

It is a proud satisfaction to the democratic party that

for a nomination, pledge themselves to cheerfully ahide
the decision of tho Convention. Let the nomination

it is now narrowed doom to a question of veracity be

Ma. CRAIG ANT) THE COMPROMIS E. -Our article
of yesterday respecting the "disclosures" has induced
Mr. Craig to define his position in relation to a com
promise between the whigs and antimasons. His let_
ter fully confirms all we have heretofore said of nego_
tiations between the factions to unite on one ticket.—
In order to do Mr. Craig full justice, as he appears to
think we have treated him unfairly, we have published
his letter this morning, and would here remark that
our information of his Virginia visit was, that he was
going on business. We were not aware—as he ap
pears to think wo should have been—that ho had a
"daughter settled in the wilds of Virginia," and as he
did not think it necessary to inform us, we had no
knowledge of the parental object of his journey We
know that a union had been formed while Mr. Craig
was absent on (perhaps) a similar visit last year, and
knowing that negotiations were pending between the
parties, it was reasonable to infer that he was net un
willing to "show them a chance" this year by which
another arrangement might be made that would carry
him to Congress. This letter, however, settles all
doubt on the question, and we arc bound to believe
that he will not consent to any arrangement that would
sacrifice one of his blue nose colleagues, oven if by so
doing it would improve his chances of election.

involving, as it does, the question of peace or war with
Great Britain, will become a prominent object of dis
cussion in the ensuing Congress, cannot be doubted.—
The most rigid examination of the subject, having sat
isfied me that the American claim to the Oregon coun
try is as well founded as is that of most of my fellow
citizens to their respective freeholds, I would not con
sent to the giving up one foot of the country to Ape de
mands or claims of Great Britain, but I would io all I
could to coerce our own Government to take military
possession of the country, and not leave a vestige of
British domination on American soil. I would do this,
if necessary, at the hazard of war, for I have yet to
learn that a tame surrender of territorial rights, howev
er small, is consistent with national honor or true glory,
or can, in ally way,permanently advance the interests of
the nation that submits to public plunder, for the sake
of preserving the public peace.
The right of petition, although it has become per
plexed, owing to the nature of the memorials annually
presented to Congress, by persons denominating them
selves abolitionists, is, 'conceive, the undeniable privi
lege of the American public; and however harshly the
sentiments of the petitioners may sound in the ears of
those whose prejudices may be attacked and feelings
outraged, yet so long as there is nothing contained in
them insulting to the Legislative body to whom they
are addressed, I cannot but think that their rejection,
or a disposition of them that prevents their appearance
in the Congressional journals, and silences debates up
on their merits, is a violation of the true spirit of the
constitution and a factious exercise of power.
So far as regards the abolition of slavery, I hold that
the power of Congress cannot be invoked consistently
with the Constitution, and the reserved rights of the
States. But in relation to the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, preventing the traffic in hu
man flesh within the territory over which Congress is
entitled to exercise exclusive legislation; and in so far
as prohibiting (under the right to impose restrictions on
the commerce of the States) the migration of human

may 1w sound policy, I think the right of Congress to

To the Democratic Citizens of Allegheny
County.
FELLOW-CtrtzEics:—The good will of my friends
having brought my name before the public for the Con
gressional nomination,and the course pursued by Judge
Wilkins having thrown the whole matter open, so that
the public will may now be expressed by your Delegates
without violating the usages of the party, I now an
nounce myself as a Candidate for the Congressional
Representation, and I respectfully solicit the supper
of the Democratic party, at their primary meetings for
the choice of Delegates, and of the Delegates when as
sembled in Convention.
I shall not trouble you, my fellow-citiiens, with any
profession of principles, nor speak of my political
course. J have had no concealments, and what I have
done poliiically, has been long before the public .eye.—
I have resided in Allegheny county for a period of thir
ty years; have held stations that have brought me much
in the public view, and have been engaged in a profes
sion that has enabled the public to form a fair estimate
of my ability to servo them, and of my perseverance
and industry when engaged in public or private duties•
If, during that period, I have not been enabled to ac
quire a reputation that will render the commendations
theGoveenzessittnenintitstinttiniusi lawyer _
Jefferson sehok'prorsqit in reennting insults to hii
country, prebend in the expositions of her conventions
with foreign Powers: an experienced and able debater,
equally respected he all parties for his patriotism, his
consistency, his public virtues, and the irreproachable
purity of his private life. He is one in whose prudence
and circumspection the nation might safely intrust her
destinies; whose onergy would be guided by discretion;
and his zeal be tempered with justice, whilst his re
spect for the rights of other nations and his love for the
true glory of his own country, would render the United
States, under his administration, united at home, and
honored, respected and feared abroad.
I have thus, my fellow citizens, presented fur your
consideration, the views I entertain upon certain great
public questions. I should undoubtedly have abstained
from doing so had it not been for the peevishness that
has been exhibited in some quarters, on account of my
letter declining a nomination until the manifestation by
Judge Wilkins, of his intention to waive the nomination
of last year, he having done so in the letter, a copy of
which is appended to my address. lam enabled to
trespass upon you without running the risk of being
charged with egotism, to explain my views upon sub
jects upon which there has been a persevering, indus
trious, though I presume, an unintentional misrepre
sentation.- If you do not concur with me in the senti
ments I have so fully expressed, I do not expect your
support; or if concurring with me, you believe that my
ideas cen be better carried out by the wisdom and ex
perience of others, Ido not wish it. I shall then,
with pleasure, sustain your nomination, content to la
te:Pr in any field where my talents can be beat employ
ed in support of the party, or in any sphere, however
humble, which the good sense of the democracy may
assign to me. Your success I have more truly at heart
than my own nomination, to which I am almost indif
ferent; and I feel the utmost confidence that your inter
ests will be fully secured by the nomination of the dis
tinguished citizen, who received the unanimous appro
bation of the last year's delegation; and if Ido not re
gard, with the same implicit faith, the claims of.anoth
er gentleman whose friends are equally sanguine with
himselfof his nomination, it is not from any question
as to his talents or patriotism, but from my doubts as
to whether his experience and skill render him fitted
for the momentous struggle with which it will become
the duty of our representative in the next Congress to
engage. But upon your judgment, fellow citizens, at
this important epoch the choice depends; whoever re
ceives the sanction ofyour delegates, shall receive my
warm and cordial support.
With profound respect,
I remain your fellow citizen,
CHARLES SHALER
Pittsburgh, August 10, 1843.
Front the Gazette.
MR. ED ITOR: —I see in the Morning Post of this day,
the following article:
"He ihinks it is more probable that he absents him
self for the purpose of affording his friends an opportu
nity of tricking the whigs into another union, as they did
last year, and which will keep him on the ticket and
throw off Breckenridge. In his absence arrangements
can be made which will not be binding on him, and
which he may, if he thinks the whiga will stand anoth
er kicking, denounce, as be did the union of 1842.
The scheme is a very cunning one, and, with the knowl
edge we havief the propositions thatjhave al read y passed
between some of the leaders,we confess it is very proba
ble that Mr. Craig's Virginia trip may have as much
reference to entrapping the whigs as to avoid questions
about the disclostWes."
It is generally known to my friends that I have a
daughter living in the very wilds of Western Virginia,
and all good hearted men will readily believe that I
feel anxious to see her and her husband and children
once a year. This might be a sufficient reason for any
worthy man to assign for my visit, but it seems to be
beyond the philosophy of the editors of the Post.
Bnt as this matter may be more vigorously and per
tinaciously urged during my absence, and may give
rise to the suspicion that I can by any possibility de
scend to an unworthy artifice to secure my election, I
feel bound to make a statement, which my present po
sition must justify. The Post asserts that my absence
is intended to give my friends an opportunity to make
another compromise, which will keep him (me)on the
ticket and throw Breckenridge of."
Now it happens that a plain statement of facts will
conclusively put down that falsehood. Soon after the
union ticket, as it was styled, was formed, two gentle
men of Allegheny city, both of them at that time stren
uous friends of Mr. Morrison, and one of the two still
su, called at my house, and, after the usual remarks
about the weather, one of them said, "well, Mr. Craig,
what do you think of having the two conventions called
together to form a new ticket?" My reply was nearly
in these words: "If the people should choose to have
the conventions called together, and they should drop
my name, I will cheerfully submit." "But," said the
gentleman, "suppose they put you on the ticket?"—
"Why, then," said I, "I will at once decline. I have
already ran once too often on a union ticket, and I never
will do it again; nor will I consent that one of my col
leagues on the Antimasonic ticket shall be sacrificed ."
The gentlemen seemed to me both surprised
and confounded for a moment, by this reply. Si
lence for some moments ensued, which I at iength
broke, by asking who had requested them to call on me.
One of them replied, "It won't do to tell stories out of
school;" but, after a short pause, he added, "I will tell
you: it was Mr. Stevens." Knowing that Mr. Stevens
was the gentleman who called the ludo° convention to
gether, and that he was a devoted friend of Mr. Morri
son, I thought I saw through the whole matter. I be
lieved, and I still believe, that the plan was first to
strike Mr. Brackenridge off the union ticket, then to
strike Dr. Hays off the Antimasonic ticket, and thus
accommodate Mr. Morrison; and I felt sure that if I
had agreed to sacrifice some of my antimasonic friends,
and to run on a union ticket, I could have whistled
Mr. Brackenridge down the wind with a single breath.
But my very soul recoiled from such an net of treache
ry to my Antimasonic principles. lam sincerely and
honestly Antimasoaic, and no greed of office shall ever
tempt me to do any act which may have the sem
blance of "mendicity" and knavery.
I make this statement with reluctance; but, as the
charge this morning urged against me in the Post,
might be urged again and again during my absence, I
feel impelled to do it. The mail to my son-in-law's
residence is long reaching there, and I will probably
hear nothing from Pittsburgh until my return, unless by
accident I pick up a paper some where on my way
back.
While upon this subject, I feel bound to state now,
once for all, that if the Antimasons are again tempted
to form another union ticket my name must notand shall
not be on it.

RAILROLD THROUGH NEW HAMPSHIRI.—Isaac
Hill thus speaks of the project of internal improve
ments in the Granite State:—"The fact that a farmer in
Berkshire county, 150 miles from Boston, over the
mountains, furnished 1000 bushels of potatoes, last fall
for the United Stat-9 Hotel in Boston, is demonstration
that a railway, extended through the centre of New
Hampshire and Vermont, would raise the value of real
estate equal to thatin the whole westerly region of Mas
sachusetts. The great Western Railroad has given
new life to business in the State of Massachusetts."
pr The fortifications at Paris, which are estima
ted to have cost 200,000,000 francs, are termed "the
straight waistcoat for the Parisians."
Er The debt of the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut,
is two hundred thousand dollars, and the assessment
valuation of the real and personal property of the place
is only one million four hundred and thirty thousand
&Ilan. The debt is equal to one seventh of s/1 the
puTes 11 in the place.

THE TRADE OF THE ATLANTIC CITIES.--The trade
of the Atlantic cities—New York, Boston, Philadel
phia and Baltimore—shows evident signs of an im
provement, and of the setting in of an early fall made..
The number of strangers in each city is large, and sales
appear to be improving. The demand for imported
goods on which the new tariff was imposedis improv
ing; molasses and other West India goods; and also
English manufactures. Prices are recovering in
some degree the depression they underwent in *gen
eral stagnation, consequent upon the passage of the
tariff. The country in the interior is greatly in want
of goods. and the little advance which has taken plaoe
in agricultural products, has afforded some: means of
purchasing; consequently stocks are moving of, and
the weight of the tariff is beginning to be felt. •
PAIL•DELPIIIA MOYET MARK4T.—Bicknell ' sßa
porter of the 6th has the following:
"We are compelled to chronicle the old story. Mon
ey continues abundant, and our market without
change. The case is similar in New York, Boston
Baltimore and Providence. Our capitalists end our
Banks are puzzled for good investments. First rate
paper is readily negotiated at 5 per cent., while in some
instances no higher than 4 has been obtained. Con
versing with some of our Bunk officers, they express a
belief that them will be more activity in the monied
circles, and a greater demand in the course of a few
months; although one or two entertain the opinion that
,no very material change will take place before next
Spring. We beg to offer a word of caution at this
time. The desire to invest surplus funds by some of
our banks is so great, that we fear that in one or two
instances, a loose system of business has been resorted
to, and less vigilance paid in the matter of discounts
than heretofore. Irregularities of this kind cannot be
too carefully guarded against. Better, far better, to
make no profits for a time, than to risk considerable a
, mounts of capital, and thus peril the character and gen
t eml safety of a monied institution. A friend informed
us, a day or two ago, that he had been olitstt4slK
-000 in his own name, and without any endorser.—
This is all wrong. Banks should pursue a legitimate
business. They should discount fair business paper
and none other. The temptations of the present mo
ment should not induce them to swerve from the path
of propriety and safety. We know that the directors
naturally feel an anxiety to do business; but it is exact
' ly at such times that they should exercise -more them
ordioary judgment. To shew the abundance of money
we may state that we know of several leading - firma in
this city, which have offered to discount their own pa
per at 4 per cent., and been refused, the holders of the
bills being unable to invest the money on more advan
tageous terms."
NEVILLE B. CRAIG
THE MISSISSIPPI BANKS.—The Mississippian of
the 20th ult. thinks that Gen. Briscoe's bill for winding
up all the Banks in the State will become a law, Doe
withstanding it receives violent opposition from the
Whig side ofboth houses. In reference to this subject
the New York Journal of Commerce says:
"And why should they not be wound up? Not one
of them is in operation as a banking institution; they are
all broke, and the sooner their remains arc cleared aft
of the way the better it will be for all concerned, (ex
cept the officers). If Banks are wanted, they can
then be establishad; but these ghosts of Banks can never
be resuscitated, and never ought to be."
A bill has been introduced into the Legislature to Ia
vy a tax fur the payment of State bonds. It provides
that, before it becomes a law, it shall be approved by a
majority of the people.
