render themselves agreeable to the girls, with such

them to avail themselves of the first opportunity to car

and friends would consent to their marryi:3B - rneri of

and their friends, who resolved to protect tin in; they.
bolted and barricaded the door, and remained for two
hpyraowithout any attempt being made on the room.-
A tleiflig: th a violent i ush was made at it, the door gave
wey; and the party outside entered. There was a bed
in the room, and the girls hastily retired behind the
-curtains and end avored to conceal themselves, and
impress upon the minds of the rioters that they had es
caped from the apartment, and were no longer in the
house- For an hour or more, the men were irresolute,
and used no violence; but, at the end of that time, they
rushed to the bed, and drew the girls from their con
cealment. They now displayed arms of all kinds,
swords, and pistols, with which they were provided;
..,_, and. in spite of all the opposition of the girls' friends,

they . wzio surrounded by above one hundred armed
men,-with shirts catering their clothes, by the way of
disguise -th e then common costume, in which origi
nated the name of "Whiteboys." Two horses were
ready saddled: Catherine was faced to mount one, and
placed before Byrne; and Aline teas placed on the oth
er, before Strange: and in this way, surrounded by a
desperate body of men, sufficient to intimidate and
overawe the country, they were carried off from their
friends.
After suffering in various ways, until they became
twilit - led and subdued, art assent to get married wass ex
torted from them, and the cereinoey was performed—
with an understauding, however, that the girls should
be immediately released and restored to their friends.
But this part of the contract was violated, and, with a
whole cavalcade of armed and desperate ruffians, they
were earnestly persuaded to submit to their fate, and
be reconciled and obedient to their husbands. They
still persisted in their remonstrances against the vio
lence offered them, when it was threatened to carry
them to Castlecomer, and bury them there foreverin
the coal-mines; and Strange, in a paroxysm of anger,
struck Anne in the face with a pewter pot. This bru
tal violence sunk deep in her mind, and rankled with
an unextinguishable resentment never to he forgotten.
It will hardly be believed that, for five reeds, they
were paraded night and day, accompanied by their
lawless cavalcade, and resting at miserable houses,
through the counties Of Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow,
Kildare, and so on to the north of Dublin, where they
stopped at Rush, a small fishing town within a few
miles of tho metropolis. In this place they were put
on board a vessel, accompaied by the whole party, and
sailed to the town of IVicklow. Here, with a perfect
feeling of inditrereace and security, some of them went
on shore; but while they were absent, the vessel was
hoarded by a Mr. Power, accompanied by an armed I statesman.

Costae ELEcnoN.--We have, from all part
of the county, the most gratifying informatien in regard
to the prospects of the Democratic ticket at the ap
proaching election. After a canvass for nominations
so long and exciting as ours was, the friends of the
(bated candidates for nomination could not but feel
deeply disappointed. This feeling, however, cannot
long maintain dominion over the minds of the true
hearted and devoted democrats of Allegheny, and never
was strung enough to be of the slizhtest a ' vantage to
the opponents of our principles.
Among the anticipations which present themselves
in reflecting upon the probable result of the pending
contest, none is more gratifying than that Allegheny
county will:be represented in the next Congress by a
devoted and distinguished democrat. If theditTerences
of our opponents could be arranged to-morrow, and
both factions unite on ono ticket, they could not, we
are confident, elect a single man; how much their chan
ces are lessened by their running two tickets, we leave
every man to conclude for himself. Their selections
for Congress, too, are peculiarly unfortunate--they
have put forward men who are deicient in the qual
ities which can ensure popular support at this time,
while our candidate is pre-eminently possessed of those
qualities. The Antimasans have a man in nomination
who has made himself obnoxious even to many of his
own party, by his harsh and overbearing demeanor to
wards a portion of those with whom he has acted from
year to year, and without whose votes his friends could
never have obtained a majority. And ho has distin
guished himself for nothing save bigoted devotion to
theclogmas of his peculiar pelirical sect; a sect which
is solely occupied with a vain and profitless opposition
to a particular order of men, whose organisation they
affect to have persuaded themselves, is very dangerous j
to the public welfare. A man and a party with views
80 LlM3Cribed; without influence and friends in the I
nation at large, and with a strong enmity against them,
produced by their own-effusions of bitter feeling., could '
wield no influence in the national councils. The Whigs
have in nomination a superannuated politician, who has
outlived all the political reputa tiuu and influence he ever
might have possessed, and who was selected because
his partisans could not find any one else to answer their
purpose• Against this sorry array of claims and quali
fications in those who are pot forth to represent the im
portant interests of our great county, the Democrats
present a man possessed of varied and extensive polit
ical experience, who has not, like one of his competi
tors, made himself obnoxious by overflowing bitterness
towards opponents,though he has ever been a firm pa rty
man; nor has he, like the other, become rusty in his
knowledge of the political history, and the wants and
interests of his section and the countty rit large—bis ac

matters which should occupy the thoughts of American

_ Chronicle of yesterday hada strong leader
against the present Delegate System. We agree with
the editor that the system, as' now practised, is very de
ll Alive, and calls loudly 'for amendment. But in de
nouncing the DOegate system, the Chronicle takes oc
casion to hurl its anathemas at the different tickets re
cently nominated, and pronounces the candidates, in
general terms, "scavengers." If any portion of the
editor's remarks are intended to apply to the democrat
ic ticket, they are not only grossly insulting to the can
didates and the Convention that nominated them, but
are without the slightest foundation in nath. The
Cofigressional, the Legislative, and two Or three‘
ecun
ty nominations, were the only ones for which any strong
efilirts wem made, and we leave it to any honest man
to say, whether the gentlemen selected for these offices
by the demo,-ratic Convention, deserve to be charac
terized as "scavengers," who were forced un the par
ty by a "few politicians." We believe the language
of the Chronicle to be equally inappropriate when ap
plied to any of tho other candid-1: s new hefore the
People, and we are sorry that our coteinpurary
should
neutralize the force of his article araint the errors of
the delegate system, by making such an unwarrantable
charge against sonic of the most respectable and de
serving citizens of the county.

IMEXICO.
By the schooner Amazon, which arliked here from
Vera Cruz, yesterday evening, we have received files
of papers from the city of Mexico, to the 19th of Aug.
Santa Anna published on the 18th ult., a decree rel
ative to the rights and privileges of foreigners, of which
the following are the provisions:—
. Art. Ist. 'The favors, privilege s or franchises granted
by the civil law, and which are not included withi the
II sphere of the common law, shall extend solely to Mex-
ican subjects, to the exclusion of foreigners.
Art. 3d. The sal d exclusion shall not prevail in eases
l in which said favors, privileges or franchises shall be
t expressly granted to foreigners by the laws, or shall he
fixed by respective treaties. The same principle sh a ll
apply to privileges or franchises accorded, not through
personal consideration, but on account of public benefit
accruing to the Republic from such concessions.
Art. 3d. The said exclusion shall moreover not ap
ply to the privileges granted from the exercise of any
professi on or business carried on by foreigners in the
Republic.
IBy a decree of the 14 th August, the list of artices,
the importation of which has been prohibited, is l in
creased to an enormous extent. Carriages, cabs, and
every species of foreign vehicles; harness, hats, furni
lture, pianos, dolls, and toys; gold, silver, copper, gilt,
and plated manufactures; iron and steel do., tin and
zinc do., are all prohibited under penalty of confiscation.
The ordinance goes iuto force four months after its
I publication in the capital, in respect to cargoes arriv
ing at ports on the Gulfof Mexico, aid six months of
ter, in respect to those arriving at ports on the Pacific,
Gulf of California and California sea.
One year is given for the removal of the goods in
chided in this prohibitory decree and riow in Mexico,
after which period they will be confiscated.
Since penning the above, we have received intelli
gence announcing that the primary elections fur Con
/

heard from up to the ult. the Santa Anna party hail
