Comt trrcr. or CostazsronDuccE.—We are reluc
tantly compelled to notice a portion of theproceedings
of the Committee of Correspondence at their mreting
on Wednesday last, which we would much rather post
pone until a time when the discussion of such matters
would not interfere with our duties to the party. As,
however, the Committee adopted certain resolutions,
which have been interpteted by some as making a
charge against us in relation to the Committee of Cor
respondence, we deem it proper to explain the matter
at once. We will make a brief statement of what we
know cf the appointment of that Committee, and the
public will then be able to judge with how much fair
ness we have been treated in thi s matter:
At the close of the proceedings of the Convention of
the 30th alt., a resolution was adopted, authorizing the
President to appoint a Committee of Correspondence,
consisting of nine members, to serve for the ensuing
year. In the confusion incident to the adjournment,
the President omitted to announce the names of the
persons appointed, and, of course, the members of the
Convention had no opportunity to approve or disap
prove of the Committee selected. Among the proceed
ings handed us for publication, was a slip of paper on
which was written ten names, in the handwriting of a
delegate. On enquiry, we were told it was the Com
mittee of Correspondence, although bearing evidence
on the face cf it that it was not such a Committee as
was contemplated, inasmuch as it was not appointed by
the person authorized to do so; was not approved by the
Convention, and contained more names than was spec
ified in the resolution authorizing, its formation. Not
withstanding the evident informality of this Commit
ter, we should have inserted it in the proceedings of
the Convention, had we not, the evening previous to
the publication, received the following from Doctor
PottocK, the President of the Convention, who, alone,
was authorized to appoint the Committee:
"Committee of Correspondence for Allegheny county.
appointed by the President of the Convention of the
30th of August, 1843.
John B. Guthrie, William Kerr,
Rody Patterson, Col. James Scott,
Chambers McKibbin, John Stevenson,
Robert Har John Murray
John Irvin,
JOHN POLLOCK, Ch."
This, every man will admit, was such a Committee
as the resolution of the Convention contemplated, and
appointed in the manner it directed. We were bound
to publish it as a part of the proceedings, whether it
pleased us or not, and had we disregarded it, and pub
fished another (such as the one in the handwriting of
a delegate) appointed by a person having no authority
to do so, we might justly be charged with taking an un
warrantable liberty with the proceedings of the Con
vention, and would deserve the censure of the party
for aiding individuals who have an inordinate desire to
figure before the public, in defeating the wishes of the
delegates of the people.
The fact of Dr. Por..t.oca having appointed the com
mittee as published above, was known to the Chairman;
we showed him the Doctor's manuscript, und, if it had
suited his views, he could have given such information
to the Committee. But justice and correct informa

REFOR , I N THE DELEGATE SrSTEM.--Several
weeks since., we suggested to the Democrats of this
county the propriety of thoroughly reforming our mode
of elec ring delegates, and of conducting our nominating
conventions. And previous to the meeting of the late
Democratic Convention, papers were drawn up and
signed by many members of the party, requesting that
body to order a Convention for the purpose of re-model
ing the whole system. Tn the excitement and hurry at
tendant upon their arduous session, the delegates ne
glected to consider the request of those memorials, but
we observe with pleasure that the committeeofcorres
pondence has taken up the subject, and will no doubt
take measures seectoally to carry out the required re
forms.

AN,'
Una!, &ND HeßKo+x. — The Antimasons arm by no
means pleased with the ticket for Canal Commissioners
formed for them by the whigs—the ticket which Thad
deus Stevens did not have a hand in making. They
complain that Mr. GUILFORD is a high mason—that
Mr. TWEED is a whig, who has no "pretensions t.)
timasonry," and the Gazette plainly states that Sheriff
WEixER, of this county, has changed his position, and
is now identified with the enemies of Antimasonry.—
Tim Gazette thus gruffly concludes its notice of the tick
et:—
post.
"Such a ticket we cannot place at the head of our
columns, or yield it our support. Our friends will ex
ercise their judgement, and follow the dictates of their
conscience in regard to their votes. We felt it to be
our duty to the Antimasonic party to place the matter
in its true light, that all might vote understandingly."
We would not presume to say what sort of a ticket
should satisfy the Antimasons. nor shall we attempt to
decide whcthzr the Gazette is right in its conclusions that
"the Antim Isom are under no obligations to support
this ticket.' But We cannot repress our surprise at
the squeamishness of the Garotte and other Antitnason
ic prints, who object to one of the candidates that he is
a "high mason," and to the others that they are "whigs."
The Antimasons of this county have time and again
went to the polls and deposited their votes fur both
masons and whigs; and it is a little too late in the day
to start objections to the candidates on these scores.—
Men who could swallow GE onns DattstE and Taos.
Wlu.ss.Ms, without a wry face, as the Antimasons of
this county have done, should not permit their gorge
to rise at this canal ticket. •
But if we could admit that they had good reason to
reject Mr. Twcct for his whigisnt, and Mr. Go ttreno
for his masonry,we would still have food for wonder at
the repudiation, by the Gazette, of Mr. Weaver, who
we have always understood to be en original and thor
oughgoing Antimaioa. We were not aware, till now, '
that he had forfeited his claim to the confidence of his
old co-partizans, who, we believe, h 3 has served as
faithfully as any man in the state. We may be wrong,
but will venture the assertion that the Gazette is too par
ticular—and we. fear, if Mr. WCAVER does not come
up to the now Aatimasonic standard, that they will
soon be without candidates—it is very certain that, un
der the old regime, at the time the AntiMasotts were
voting for Williams and Darsie, ho would have been a
firatrate candidate, and would have called forth any
amount of the Gazette's enthusiasm.
We cannot forbear to notice one fact in relatio n to
this matter—the Gazette assigns, as a reason for with
holding its support from Mr. Weaver, that he "former
ly acted with the Antimasons," but is "now identified
with their enemies." This simple remark furnishes a
key to the rejection of Stevens and all its attendant
train of disasters to A.ntimasonry. Mr. Weaver has
abandoned the Antimasons, and with him have gone
sufficient force to turn the scale in the federal party
against Stevens, and eject him from the Convention.
The "change" of Mr. Weaver is, we apprehend, but
one of thousands of a similar nature the Gazette might
mourn over, if it would'give vent to all its griefs.
Has the Pittsburgh Post meeived a bill of tho "wild
beast show" in Harrisburgh.—Phila. Forum.
nrYes, we hare, but the keepersin this city have
turned the "animals" out of the federal menaprie, as
they are not considered worthy of exhibition. There
is no African, Lion or "laughing Hyenas" among them
to suit the taste of the Gazette, and they are turned uut,
to be hunted down by any sportsmen that may choose
to fulloW their trail.
