PHILLIPS a SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS ITTSBURGII, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1843 A PLOT DISCOVEHED.--MOILE "LIGHT FOll THE PEOPLE."—An unknown correspondent has had his nerves terribly shaken by discovering who are the con coders and distributers of the handbill issued from the press of the "Man About Town," on Wednesday, enti tled "Light for the People." He says that if we want to get information of its"author and distributor, to call at , in the Diamond; ask who prepared the documents; ask -- who distributes the papers in Robinson township—take care that -- is not in the store; look. on the shelves a t the packages in brown envelopes for Robinser. town - ' ship; see the haral writing on envelopes; ask whether ----- is not supporting hi— secretly and doing all he can against G—, and the ftmmraticiparty gen erally. See' whether ----, and -- are not leagued together to divide the democratic party if they can. This is an astounding plot; but we fear it will not bear probing, as we do IMtbelieve that the most rigid investigation would produc'xf . any thing from the mountain of fraud and deception, raised by our cor respondent, but a particularly little Meuse that can do no harm to any body. The persons implicated may or May not be guilty; their conduct, when influenced by unworthy motives, can have no effect' on the actions of : 1 the party, and we believe that in spite of the efforts of individuals, factions and incendiary:publications, the people will consider the matter calmly a nd coolly, and nominate a ticket to please themselves, without giving the various stories that are concocted and circulated by interested persons, any further consideration titan to condmia the introduction of ,ucli dishonorable means into the afrairs,of our party. BeCHANAN.—The unworthyiCelings of opposi tion to this distinguished statesman, which a few dis contented persons attempted to create, when Pemasyl vania first spoke of asserting her clnims to the Presi dential nomination in 1344; are fist dying away, and public opinion—that sometimes slyw but always cer tain defender of exalted worth—is silencing every breath of opposition to the propriety of the course• o f the party in this matter, and the worth of the rainlidate whom the democracy of the Key-4one offer to the Vl,llll - as the next democratie eaudidate for the Presidency. From every county in the state we hay, : such expres sions as tit: following; which was ! adopted at a public meeting in democratic York: "Resolved, That the democracy of Yell: witiciss with pride and gratification, the incrt.asing prominence which their favorite candidate for the Presidency is at taining in the eyes of the nation, by the force of his high character and exalted talents, his eb.trling moral worth and his undeviating and untiring devotion to democrat ic principles.

The Keystone state would respond to his nomination by the Democrat ic National Convention, by a majority unequalled since the days of Andrew Jackson." What does the Gazette call the "Stealer hand bill!"

We presume the Galtette is permitted to have an opinion in these matters, and a journal so much op i t posed to secret doings, will certainly not hide its light under a bushel when it could give so much gratification to its country friends, by forsaking the masonic policy that it has pursued for some time past. ..L .

FOR TII3 Monique° Posr• Messrs. Editors: There seems, as yet, very little in- 4 terest manifested by the public in the r ecommendation or selection of suitable persons as candidates for the State Legislature. We deem it all important that we should have good men and true elected to represent Allegheny county in the next session of our Legisla ture. We therefore respectfully recommend to the people of the county, Col. Joseph E. WCabe, of Fay ette township, as being a man every way qualified to represent the interests of the district. He is firm and unwavering in his attachment to Democratic princi ples and measures. He is emphatically a working man—a class of our fellow citizens whose interests may with safety be entrusted in his hands: and if elect ed he is pledged to oppose the sale or giving away of \the main line of canals and railroads of the state, be lieving that they will yet be a s ource of profit and honor to the commonwealth. Mr. M'Cabe is also 1 pledged, that as far as 6.ny legislation is to be had in regard to the banking institutions of the State, to en deavor to bring them more under the supervision and control of the people. And he will go heart and soul for the wholesonm doctrine of individual responsibility I in banking. In recommending Mr. M'Cabe to the people of Alle gheny county, we feel confident that, if elected, he will carry out the views and wishes, as far as practicable, of his constituents Samuel McKown, John Kirk, John Richardson, A. Holland, i'll Dunlavy, Daniel Houghey, David Stewart, FOR THE MORNING POST. ; JAMES CRAWFORD, ESQ. The friends of this gentleman have seen with pleas ure the announcement that he will consent to run for the Legislature on the Democratic ticket. No man in the County has devoted more of his time and money to subset ve the interests of the party, than Mr. Crawford; an early friend of the illustrious Jackson, and a con stant and undeviating supporter of all the great meas ures of Mr. Van Baron's akhninistration—it is but sheer justice that he should receive from the Democratic par .ty some mark of ILS approbation. He asks for no office of emolument, hut to be placed in a position, where his voice can be heard in defence of those principles which it is his pride and pleasure to discuss. His merit has been more than once. indicated, by his being selected aiafirman of the Committee of Corres pondence, and in t t capatity he has conducted himself I with great urbanity and derision of character. In the country his name would be a tower of strength—his friends there arc legion, and with him at the head of the Assembly ticket the people would have an index. of the sound and orthodox political opinions which gOvern the party.

The New York Su-I, is alluding to ine case of this w.untn, who is about to be surrendered to the 13ri . ,i:11 aothorities for th. , alledged murder of her husband, has the f•illowing interesting sketch as to the ez1.113.i.!; which led to her present dreadful situation. It will ho :wen th:tt the tale is not without its titer sad and impressive: "The history of this unfortnaute young woman should operate as a warning to parents, and teach them to be ware of unrelenting opposition to an honorable attach ment formed by a daughter, or even a son, merely be cause the object favored by such is not of equal wealth or rank in life with themselves. It were better—far better—to raise one than to prostrate and destroy the ether. Mr, Cochran, the father of this young woman, is a wealthy farmer in the shire of Renfrew, near Pais ley, in Sectliand. She received a passably good educa tion, and we have seen a letter written by her to her parents since her arrival here, couched in sweet and af fecting language, and written in a practised pretty hand. Abet live years ago, it appears, she being still in her 'teens' sh .becarn acquainted with a young man in the neighhoi hood by the name of Anderson, and a mutual attaeliment sprung up between them. Although of excellent character, and of good moral conduct, he was io litim!tle tile, being a gardener in the employment of a gentleman in his native parish. They made no secret of their attachment, but it was bitterly opposed by her parents, particularly as her father. and the fath er of her future husband had already decided that she and the unfor unat e John Gilmour were to be united.— The great object of het parents from the time of dis covering her attachmant to Anderson, was to keep them apart. and with this view she was at times confined in the attic of her father's dwelling, and a most rigid sys tem of coercion applied !to her with a view to compel an abandonment on her part affahe object of her affec tion, hot with ra effect, altletagh stripes, and at times, severe h ‘, were ri,lrtVii to father," she ex claimed, (as we are inform.. 4,) one day, 'I cannot mar ry John Gilmour—l have nothing to say against him; but I do not love him—permit me to marry John An derson, who I know is attached to me as I love him— and I will go down on my knees and bless you. He and I can take the farm, which is in a short time to be vacant, and my little sister can_ live with me, and we shall nil be happy in each other's society. John Gilmour can find another girl who will love him and make him a good wife; but oh, father I cannot—cannot —marry him.' The appeal was unheeded, and served but to make her situation worse, and she determined upon escape, to wander, she knew not whither.— W webby , ' an opportunity she Ilea, but was soon pur sued by her father and all the servants of his house hold. Sb' taak shelter in a thicket, where she re mained for s ene time undiscovered. although her pur suers often passel the spot where she lay. till her little favorite dog found his mistress and came fondling upon her. This led to her detection, and she was taken back to thin house and severely beaten. Fivaily, goad ed almost to madness, or to what has been claimed ill regard to her, 'insanity,' she gave a CMl,;ellt. SO far as the law required, to a union with Gilmour, and after being bedecked in the bridal robes, was brought as an ox to the slaughter, or a lamb to the sacrifice, from her place of confinement, and her destiny interwoven for life or death with that of John Gilmour. The pa rent: had given them -2 1000, or about $5.000 each, making, $lO,OOO in all, and they were settled on the farm at I nclannan, which became their property. In about tive weeks from the marriage the unhappy hus band, after a short illness, in which he experienced severe torture, perished. Circumstances came to light which afforded but too much ground for suspicion that he teas murdered, and that his unibrtunate, but now it is feared, guilty wife, had caused his death. The subsequent events are known---she fled to this country in protection of a young man, and passing as his wife, but occupying distinct berths, and both assuming a fic titious name. Anderson is still living in Renfrewshire and is said to bo of good character. Christi= deckiros that she did not murder her husband. If so, the prayer of all will be, that God will permit her to pass in safety through the terrible ordeal which she will be called PO soon to encounter. Moses Dnalavy, Wm. H.

Republican, who seems to have paid much attention to the subject, writes:— "Of Wheat I will now speak of the whole country.— The crops of wheat will, in the sum total, be near, or quite, an average one. Not in Southern Ohio, but in the country generally. In some parts it will be very good. In others, inferior. In others, a failure. But the parts where the failure is found are few. The best wheat sections will produce as heavy this year as last. In the Scioto Valley the crop of wheat has partially failed, though even there are some good districts. It is possible that the total crop may be somewhat smal ler than the average; but it most be remembered that there was a very large surplus from last year's crop." In this neighborhood the wheat crop has been good, very good; but perllps not equal to last year's. The corn, oats and potatoes, however, will be far behind the yield of 1842. Bustst:ss is CINCIN Nari.—TheEnquirerof the 15th has the following notice of the condition of things in that city: "For the past week, or we may say, for the past three weeks, there has been no change in any of the business departments, if we except dry goods. According to the Gazette, nothing has more clearly shown the gene ral growth of the business of Cincinnati, and its increase of wealth and capital, than the activity of the dry goods business for the last few months. Several of the lead ing dealers, who had long been comparatively idle, (principally engaged in settling up their old six months' business, that was considerably extended throughout nearly all the Western States,) early in the springpre pared again for larger operations, but upon a different system. Although a few of the old credit houses had been broken up or crippled, the majoritrof them, in spite of all the bad debts they had made during several previous years, were left with ample capitals to contin ue theirbusiness. These, with four or five old concerns which had always adhered as nearly as possible to the cash system, together with a few new firms, all brought out large and well selected stocks of goods. Their great scarcity iu the interior and the increased demand fur them among the farmer', who were enabled from the proceeds of the heavy crops of last year to make liberal purchases from the country merchants, opened a good market for the sale of these goods. The fine assortments which the jobbers brought out, and the great competition among them brought prices and prof its down to the lowest. Many buyers have been here, who had formerly purchased in the Eastern markets, and others who have bought in Louisville and other places in the West. Sales are all made fur cash, or short undoubted credit, and generally for notes paya ble in bank. We have not much to note in the money market of the past week. The Lafayette and the Franklin Banks are discounting, but it is the very best kind of paper. The other banks are doing nothing.— There is a slight improvement in some of the uncurrent money, as will be seen on reference to our bank note list. Capitalists are looking forward to the time when our fall business commences, and then the money that is now locked up will find circulation. The demand for Exchange is limited, for it still com mands 1 prem. Specie is almost adrug." :SION EY MATTERS IN NEW YORK:—The New York Express sacs—Money is as abundant as ever. Our Banks are discounting favorite paper at 4 per cent., and regular offerings at 5 per cent. At no period within fotty years have our Banks fcrund it so difficult to loan money, as at the present time, nor have they ever discounted notes at so low a rate of interest. It was predicted a year ago, that there would be a reac ti, a; none however has come, but on the contrary, mon ey has gradually become more and more abundant. It is a little singular that there has been an unwillingness hitherto to put out money on bond and mortgage at less than 6or 7 per cent. - Large sums are now lying idle in this city, belonging to English capitalists, seek ing investtnentat6 per cent. for which acceptable mort gages cannot be had. SAINT Louts.—The Organ speaks in the most en isia.stic manner of the prosperity of Saint Louis. Hear him: "We may bold in hazarding a prediction, but it is our firm bylief, that by this time next year there will not be left a vacant lot of ground in Central St. Louis. ! Onall sides the hammer and the trowel are ringing out die true music, which we love to hear. There i s a t t he I present moment as great a stir in the building line, as St. Louis has ever witnessed. Right glad are we to perceive this. It is proof positive that we are on the high road to prosperity, and a sure indication that a healthy pulse is heating in the veins of business. We are outstripping you, gentlemen of the west, all of you, and a few years more will place us in front; and you may rest assured that we will come into the winning post at a killing pace." port of Pittoburgl).
