Gazette says that "Mr. 4 °Clay . has never been defeated as a candidate for the "Presidency." One is at a loss to know how to treat ,114 assertion of this kind. A fact in political history, h occurred fifty years ago, might he disputed now, :titan the-majority of those who then acted for society, ,have ceased to exist. But what could induce any „same person to make an avowal like this, when its fuLsi t' is known to every man in the community, passed, oar comprehension. Although it seems intended as a serious declaration, we cannot regard it as such, but ..most consider it one of those attempts at wit which the U.S. Gazette is constantly making, and which, we Must admit, are generally more successful titan the ed iyibaa been in this instance. It is scarcely necessary here to meation that Henry has been twice defeated as a candidate before the people and once defeated as a candidate for nomina -00m: In 1321, he was a candidate and got only 37 motes! In 133'2, he was a candidate for President, Asa gut only 49 votes! And in 1836, he was a ct.ndi slitte fur nornination before the federal national conven_ tiOn, and got 104 votes. On the last occasion he was 03pc. b nearer the Presidency than he ever had been be fillet, or ever will be again. Under these circumstances, what but a desire to be jocular in a singular manner, eouTd induce the U. S, Gazette to say that its Mriee defeated candidate had never been beaten for the Pres idency.

A Wr.stErtt.; DAM.—A dami has been made across the Milwaukie river, 500 feet long and 11 ft. high.

The river comes into Lake Michigan on the west side,—where a few years ago all was wildeniess. Now it is the eastern terminus of a canal; and at this same Milwaukie, on the darn before mentioned, there are already one iron foundry, a tannery, a wollen facto ry, and n flouring mill going up soon, though the dam has just been completed.

ILIZE .IGHTER PARDOICED.—We learn from the Spirit of tlo Times that Gov. Bouck,of New York, has !pardoned Yankee Sullivan, who was sentenced to two years impriionment for the murder of McCoy, in a prize fight. The pardon is conditional, and partakes of the same character as that given by Governor &w -and to Col. Webb. In addition, the Governor insisted upon bonds being entered by two responsible citizens of that city in the sum of $5OO, binding Sullivan, in fear of forfeiture, not to engage or aid in any Way in the getting lip, or accomplishment of any prize fight fur money, or otherwise, fur the spar.. of two y.•ttt, front the date of the pardon. • ..L.Tf'• It givo.i tr 4 pleasure to state that the report that the MeClenahans, who committed an unwarrant ed and brutal assault on the Rev.

FOR THE MOEN/NC. 1"03 E. CONNECTION WITH THE NATIONAL ROAD If we take the trouble to examine the map, we shall ascertain that there is a differenc e in the di,tan ee h e . tweeu Uniontown and Wheeling, and Uniontow n and Pittsburgh of ercertts , six miles—it being sixty eight miles from Uniontown to the former, and but forty two to the latter place. This difference in the transporta tion both ways, is that of three days' travel of a cum mnn road wagon. If we examine the country on the route between Uniontown and Washington, we find a constant succession of hills, a bard roatl upon horses, and one not at all a. favorite with teamsters. On the contrary, the route from Uniontown to Pittsburgh, pass es through its greatest distance over a level road, and where it is otherwise, the surface is gently undulating, presenting the most favorable ground for tht• eonstruc p tion of a Turnpike, and passing thraugh a country that would be decidedly popular with wag,nntr-t, traveller; and transporters. 13v tapp:ng the National Road at Uniontown, we should there draw front it all the travel that conies f, om the East, and invite to our city all the western travel and transportation, by offering to travel ers a mot convenient and certain mode of reaching the National Road, upon a more eligible route, and with treater cheapness and facility, than can be obtained by landing at We make a great difference as regards the price of freight, the the wagonag,..t on the extra 26 miles, the rlitlitrence in the length of the two routes, would nearly ecpial the full amount ofthe freight from Louisville to Pittsburgh. There 'is tint a marl amongst 114 who pretends to nay information on the sub ject, that does not know that a Macadamized nevi to Uniontown would be e , mivalent to bringing the Nation al R, tad to Pitt , borght and that, if we had possessed, (the enterprise I will not call it, but) the common sense and prud tic to have completed this short route of forty two miles, we might have availed ourselves of all the travel and tria. , portatirm that has passed over the road, insteadol per nittiog ou r Wheeling neighbor to profit by it, as they havo done.

Two Towns in, Arms.—The papers of British A merica have long endeavored to make it appear that the riots in this country were alone owing to our Dem ocratic government. Look at their riots on the Canals in Canada. But here is worse. The people of Chath am and Newcastle at Mirimichi (N. B.) each present ing rival cafxlidates for the House of Assembly, have become so exasperated that they have taken arms a gainst each other, and one death has been the conse quence. A regular embargo has been laid on the river, and neither party will allow the other to come on the opposite side. The sheriff of the county, magistrates, and others are thus debarred from executing their re spective duties, and all law is set atdefiance. The executive of New Brunswick has sent a detach ment of British troops to suppress the disturbance, ac companied by a commissione r to treat with the parties concerned. That is not the result of Democracy any how.— I Phila. Sp. of Times. Csucwr.—W e learn from Messrs.

ENGLISH COISQUESTS.-Mr. Walsh says, in his let ter published this morning in the ;National Intelkigon cer, that the last Edinburgh Review in "offers interest- Figes respecting Oregon, to which region Brit ish attention is assiduously and anxious& directed by the British. American companies." England has introduced a new mode of making con quests. Instead of declaring war, and marching great armies (as Alexander did) against India, she estab lished a commercial company, which chaffered with, and corrupted and divided tlw natives, setting the sun against the father, and the %% ifc against the husband. among the nabobs; and, coming in to cattle the dis pute between the parties these equitable arbiters (like the lawyer) took the oyster, and left the disputants: each a shell. The East India Cinzipany gradually, with the countenance and assistance uf the conunercial navy and army of Great Britain, wore enabled to cre ate a standing army of sepoys in Hindustan; and, hav ing stripped the native princes of their wealth and landed domain, bought over, with their own money, a sufficient force of their own subjects to hold the country under British subjection—being, officered by Englishmen, and having a sufficient mixture of British regiments to turn upon and quell any disaffection or mutiny, in its incipiency, among the native troops. Thus the English Government, by judiciously availing itself of the avarice of its enterprising commercial classes, has been able to make them serve the purposes of its ambition more effectually than the discipli ne d valor of Macedon did that of its great and heroic prince. The British East India Campluly has, under the management and direction of the Gosernment hoine, extended the cenquests of Great Britain over the fair est portioas of Asia—having at last obtained a footing in China, through which it will gradually undermine its power and wealth. Precisely in the same way, we find England em ploying and co-operating, with IL.T Northwest trad ing company to make the eumpiest of Oregon fnen us. They bare long had the Northern Indians in their service; and the Ashburton and Webster treaty, opened the doer to their use upon our lake frontier, by putting them in command of the south:rn trading route, from which they were removed be the last war while that treaty at the same time, left them in full possession of Oregon—:..stablislied in fortresses on the Columbia river; which is, in effect, a control of the whole shore of the Pacific, as thr as our territory is concerned, us well as, a command of all the interior region. The cupidity mil lov e of power which have grown up among the active, intelligent, enterprising 11“•11, WhO CoIILIVt the laths; of the Briti s h fur-tr a d e company, now awaken all their vigilant e to assert flr. British pretences of claim to our western territory. It is clear, now, that its compiest is resolved MI: and Webster was induced by Ashburton to make a treaty settling all other points of difficulty, excluding Orego n , for the double purpose of giving time to the British companies to mature and make strong their power there, growing out of possession; while, by clo s i ng the grounds of quarrel which interested the North and South of the Union peculiarly, the NVest tai let lie weakened in the support relied upon to sustain the rights of the cool/try on its remote Western domain. AN INTERESTING CASE. The following report of a case, involving an intetes tiog l ega l questio n , was prepared at the time dui argu ment was heard, but its publication has been deferred until now, in order that it might be presented with the decision oldie Court. A lot of paper was purchased by John Taylor, of Andrew Kelty, tri be paid for in cash on delivery_ The paper was sent by a bo, with the bill and receipt.— Mr. Taylor handed the y boy a promissory note, drawn by Kelty, which he had suffered to be protested fur non payment, toil the difference between the note and the', bill, he gave the boy in specie. The boy objected t o receiving the note. stating that he was instructed to bring the amount in money: Mr. Taylor said it w‘iuld all be made right. Mr. Kelty, on being informed of what had taken place, sent the hay hark with the note, hut Mr. Taylor had gone out, and the note was return ed by the boy to Mr. Kelty. 1 t,AV E,aduaittedbyKelty th a t th e note w a s, good, and he said he would pay it at hen cons enient—that it ‘val given after K-lty h, been discharged as a bankrupt, and that it had been transferred to Mc Taylor in the rezular course of Lis.

IMPORTANT DECISION. We learn from the Lou6vnle Journal, that on the 25th ult., the chancellor of Kentucky. th' Hon. George M. Bib!, decided the great case of Huth vs. tiv2 Bank of the United States. By a statute of Kentucky, whenever a delttot makes a fraudulent dispsition of his property, his creditor may file a bill in chancery and attach, whether his debt be Idue or not dee. Under that statute, Louis flittli filed his hilland attached forabout $BO,OOO upon lamas mat uritez in 1817. Tito attachment was made upon the allention that the book had mad, a frau: lulant gninear'of its prop erty and the bill attached eipecially the d •,•d of tru,a mule at Philadelphia, on the 6th of .f 1611, to Ba con, Symington & Robins. This CAI,' was recently arzned, and the Chancellot decided the dead to be void, and that thc, attachment, wits well acid properly sued mit. The counsel for the defendants immediately urderial a writ of error to the Court of Appeals. OF A MANIAC IN THE WILDERSESS.—We have seldom read a more melancholy tale than the one we now - rl•Cord. About three years ago, in the county of Si. LaWl7ll , ,e, N. Y.. a man in a state of mental de rangement was found wandering in the uninhabited w ilds by which a large part of the county is covered is ago was about 40; in stature tall, over six feet, and well funned, with great muscular power; light complexio n and brown hair. The people named him "13ill." He was active and industrious, disposed to be orderly and peaceable, unless irritated during his occa sional fits of madness, when he preferred solitude and moody silence. Hu head and countenance, as well as his conversation and elegant chirography, denoted much intellectual power. He was placed in the Alois House. Whence he came or where he belonged, lie would never tell, and all efforts to find out proved futile. Had he left an affectionate wife, and prattling babes, beloved parents, sisters or brothers, to lament his loss I Had he been crossed in love 1 lie refused to reveal. He would often speak of the Hudson River, its geog raphy and the localities upon its border. After being three gents in the Altos House at Ogdensburgh, last May the Superintendent signified his intention of taking Bill to the south-eastern part of the state, to find out his friends, but Bill no sooner heard this proposition, than he fled to the woods. Search was made fur him, and, although often seen, he eluded his pursuers, and the search was abandoned. On the id of August ult., two hunters came upon his corpse, in the centre of a forest, three days journey from Ogdensburgh. He had perished of hunger ! He lay upon a carefully construc ted bed of leaves,with his arms folded upon his breast, his feet to the east and his head to the west, laid out with such precision and order as to COI/Nil/CC the spec ' tators that reason had resumed her throne before he died, and that he had become conscious of the momen tous change about to take place. The Coroner of Og densburgh, Dr. Clark, had the remains properly inter s red, and a wooden slab with a suitable inscription, e rected. His grave will be fouud at the north east ex tremity of Massawepa lake, near the south-east corner of the. township called "Jamestown," about cigh: Miles west of Racket river.—N. Y. Sun. We saw in a paper the other day, an account of n cow being run over by a locomotive. The account wound up by saying, that she was cut into calres. This is not equal Loan advertisement we saw in the Advertiserlast week, of an assignee sale. Among other property to be sold of the assignor, we read as follows: "All his right, title and interest in and to two-fifths of a mouse in Chesnut street."

Our land lords, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign commies, and be contented with pantry, ob scurity, exile and the glory of the nation. This ex ample leads us to the salutary lesson that private for tunes are destroyed by public as well as private ex• travagance.—And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance become s a precedent for a second, the second for a_ third, and so on till 010 bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to hare no :sensibility but sin ning; and suffering. Then begins indeed bellunt omni -1 till in 0011 Zia, which some philosopher observing to be so general in this world have mistaken it for the natural instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is PUBLIC DEBT. Taxation follows that; and in its train-wretchedness and oppression." THOMAS JEFFERSON. 'CHANGE! CHANGE!" • Speaking of the results of the recent elections, the N. Y. Eveniug Post observes— The reaction in public mind since the success of the Whigs in 1840, is without parallel in the history of the peaceful conduct of atfaire in this country. The rejec tion of the Whig policy has beca mire complete and entire than even their success. It do: s not appear to have taken place only in certain districts and gunners, but in every bitiCC where elections have boon held. Neither is it at one time only that they are defeated, but repeatedly, and at the present moment the majoritiesincrea.sc: as if the re-action were destined to swell end grow until it ended in a triumph more universul and complete than has ever yet been achieved by the Democratic party. Mi.: change in voice of the people, can only be ascri bed to the silent, all subduing operation of the principle in their own minds. It is this upon which the Dem ocrats rely for substantial success, and which is sure, finally to triumph. On the contrary, their opponents have no confidence in the conclusions of the public mind or its operations, and this distrust is sure to end in de feat. DTSCOVERY OF THE "FLORIDA WATER." Four mineral springs, reputed to possess medical qualities of a high order, and supposed by some to be the fabulous "Florida Water," have recently been dis covered on the plantation of Major Taylor in that Ter ritory. What is so singular in regard to these springs is, that they should all have th dr origin and hold their course so nearly alike, meandering along within 200 Tyards of each 'mini-,. to their outlet at Lake Munroe. here was a legend rife in Spain many years ago, that in this same flowery and fertile country there was a stream of chrystal water, whose matric chat-ms uon the human system could stay the wri ad p ,:s of age, and write unfading•beautv on the glowing cheek of youth. In fact it was uttered and believed by many, that this hidden spring. would secure all who should drink of it perpetual freshness, strength and vigor ----and pnilong ing life's little day to its ancient duration.
