It is gratifying and suggestive to contrast the differ-
IMO in the conduct of the Irish, erect in the dignity of
conscious strength, self-reliant. hopeful, trustful, *.t
above all, educated. Her people are us wretched;
%twig masters as heartle ,s, her sons are as brave, arid
as ready to right their thousand wrongs as are the Welsh
or any other men, but then the Irish are a faithful and
an intelligent people. Their religion teaches them the
iniquity of revenge, their national intellect teaches
theta its impolicy. Therefore it is that we in Ireland
ingtinigatean escape from the =oral and physical pligne
consequent upon violence. Let nothing we have writ

Cos a 66e.clemocracy of this part of the s t a te . Al
deneghthe alemoerats of Allegheny have a preference,
`as is pretty well known now, yet it gives us pleasure to
know that they will cheerfully submit to the choice of
4th_of blare)/ Convontion, and. whether that choice
shall fall on their favorite or not, thoy will support the
nominee with theirwonted cheerfulness and energy.
• Fiain-Yari-geod'feeling which subsists between the
frikusiessf the several candidates, we feel satisfied that
fite gubernatorial majority nest fall will be the largest
er giseialt - rhe state. The gentlemen spoken of for
the nomination Would not only command an enthusias
tic support from the democratic party, but their scru
ieslPeaYteinestand honorable course through life would
&siva' oar opponisnu of their' usual weapons of war
fare, and ensure a triumph of democratic principles
which would be es lasting as it would be beneficial to
the people at large.
The democrats of Pennsylvania arc no mere man
worshippers; they struggle fur something infinitely su
perior to the elevation of any man or men, and what
they nretesseeetly demand is the selection of a canal
due in whose integrity the fullest reliance can be pla
ced, whose capacity is widoubted,
is whose democracy
anteinted,and who can bring to his support the uni
ted strongthof the party. Such manhavelseen named,
andirons recent indications io the sau anti west, we
feel Sanguine that such a candidate will be nominated.
"Yitltl'art unexceptionable candidate Allegheny will
p 45000 democratic votes in 1841, which will be 400
or 500 more than the federalists can possibly rally on
their strongest man.
. We soe it stated in several whig papers that C. F.
KITCHELL, the active and efficient whig 1.-ader of
1810, is again at large, having been pardoned out of
tie' Penitentiary by Gov. Boucg. What new post of
honor will be assigned this distinguished whig? It was
otitie proposed that Sioartwout should be nominated
fdr the Vice Yresid , i,ncy, on &ticket with Clay or Web
ster for Ptesident,but Sammy has put himself oat of the
way of reoeiving that or 'higher honors that awaited
him,' and we know note prrson in the whig party more
deserving of the furors intended for him, than the il
lustrious Mitchell. It will be easy for the ingenuity of
federal.oraters to show that the mistakes made some
two years since were all '•fair business transactions,"
at that, instead of detracting from 11;3 reputation. they
should be considered as strong testimonials of his on.

stiifttg ticket, and doubtless receive a warm support

ly killed in lowa, 13 not the Canadian patriot whose
doings a few years since t %cited ec much interest, but
a 'parlous Bill who attempted to speculate on the ro
mantic notoriety .of his namesake. The genuine Bill
Johnson is still living in the western part of New York,

The Washington (N. C.) Whig denies that the yel

states that all their oldest and most experienced phy

LIMING WtaD.—There are few places in the
country that turn out more adroit rogues than the city
of New York. A person, who represented himself as
a metelmnt from Saint Louis, went into a Pearl street
home * feSr days since, and ordered some $lO,OOO
worth of goods, which were accordingly, with great la
bor; put up for him. He called late in the evening,
and detrirod the bill to bo ready by 3 o'clock the next
Morning, when he would call and cash the account, ob
serving, "Ah! by the way, my good little wife desired
me, when I started ant this morning, to procure her
something for a dress; and as I want a coat for myself,
just send three or four pieces of silk and cloth to my
hosek and she can judge of them herself." So said.so
done; and no questions wore asked. Neither cloth,silk
nor gentleman has been seen since. The clerks have
had their work for nothing but say, however, that the
St s . Louis merchant told one truth—that he "intended
to. leave in the first boat," an d he did!

Fourier ASSOCI3tiOn of this city and Ohio, have per

BRUTAL 'EXPERIMENT ON ANIMALS.
A late number of the. London Lancet contains a no-
tice of certain experiments performed on cats, one of j
which is peculiarly brutal in its character, and not of
any scientific importance in its results. A foreivier
of the name of Weinhold took away the brain and spi
nal marrow of one of those and filled up the space thus
made with an amalgam of mercury, quicksilver and
zinc. Life appeared to be instantly restored, the ani
mal lifted up its head, opened and shut its eyes, and.
looking with a fixed stare, endeavored to walk, and
whenever it dropped tried to raise itself on its legs. It
continued in this state some twenty minutes, when it
fell and remained motionless. During the time the in
mal was thus treated, the circulation of the blood went
en regularly; the secretion of the gastric juice was more
than usual, and the animal heat re-established. Al
, though it is not expressly so stated, the animal must
I have been alive whrm this fellow cut away the brain and
spinal marrow, or else the process thus described could
not hare been reproduced; and wo can easily believe
that a person ca.pablo of thus torturing an animal,
would not hesitate. were it not fur penal restriction, at
repeating hir: scientific experlmeat onhuman creatures.
AITTACTING.—Among thepassengers in the steamer
New Haven, that stopped at Lebanon on Saturday
morning last, was a lady with a child, 4 years of age.
The lady left the bo it with the ohild, and her baggage
was placed on the wharf Thinking that she bad left
some article in the boat, she placed the child on her
trunk, and again went on board. When she returned
to the wharf, the child was missing. and could nowhere
be found. Frantic with fear, she screamed to the cap:
tain of the boat—which, in the meantime, had proceed
ed a short distance from the dock, bound to Warwick
—to stop, for her child was missing, and she supposed
it must have followed her on board. The boat return
ed to the wharf, and a general search was made, with
out success. During the absence of the mother, the
child bad fallen from the wharf into the water, in en
attempt, probably to follow its mother onboard. The
body wal recovered on Sunday. Wash. Cap.

THE CASE OF YOUNG FASSIT.
Extract from a private letter, dated
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 26th.
"The papers do not indicate the true state of feel
ing in regard w young Fasait. The young man is still
at large here awaiting his arrest. The course be bas
pursued has softened the public feeling in regard to the
affair, and ho and his family have met with much kind
er reception and more sympathy than they expected.
Bail I have no doubt will be admitted, and the case
adjourned over to January term, as from the vrant of
sufficient positive testimony to the wound having
caused the death, the charge against him will probably
result in an assault with an attempt to kill, which is
bailable, and which from all I can learn they cannot
convict him of."—Phila. Gas.
SUICIDE OF Licur. IrVvenz.—The first account o
this melancholy occurrence, which we copied yesterday
from one of the BOitoll papers, appears to have done
great injustice to the memory of the deceased, in rep.
resenting him as intoxicated, and as committing suicide
through shame. The evidence at the coroner's inquest
leaves no di nix that he was laboring under derangement
aggravated perhaps by opium.—N. Y. Corn. Adv.
The funeral of Lieut Wyche was attended on Friday
from tho United States Receiving ship Ohio, lying in
Boston harbor, by Commodore Downes, all the officers
of the ship that could be spared from duty, with sever
al of the friends of the deceased from the shore, and
many of the seaman of the Ohio. The burial service
was read by the Rev. Adli‘on Searle, Chaplain to the
Ohio,and three collies fired over the grave, after which
the procession returned to the ship.
ASOIEIER BONTIRE.—The Auditor General gives
notice that on the last day of the lair month, the follow
ing issues of relief notes were burned., pursuant to the

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.
"The laborer, hen upon roerty of his own or of
others, should be w the truly p
inde p pendent man. He
produces more than he consumes, and so far from be
ing indebted for his support, he actually creates wealth.
He in reality is no more dependent upon his employer 1
than his employeris upon him. The rights and ohli- {
gutions of the two classes are reciprocal and equal.—
And whoever would infringe this right, whatever oth
er virtues he may possess, cannot be areal friend of the
equal ris4 . hts of man, nor a sincere supporter of the true 1
principles of the government under which he lives."— I
Marcus Morton.
The laboring classes, aad all who are contending for
a just and reasonable distribution of the earnings of la
bor among those who "create wealth" for thoseby whom
they are employed, will find in the above admirable
maxim laid down by the present chief magistrate of
his State, the only true doctrine of the rights of labor.
Would that the people would see to it that this doc
trine is enforced in the choice of their rulers.

THE FIRST SWORD.
Many of our readers have perhaps seen the annexed
anecdote, but it is good enough to read a second time.
It was told at the 4th ofJ uly celebration at Providence,
(R. I.) by the Hon. Mr. Tillinghast, a member of
Congress from that State:
"The first sword that waved in triumph upon the
surmounted ramparts ofYorktown' was a Rhode Island
sword. The owner of that sword, as he clambered up
the work-, received upon his bands and arms the stabs
of the bayonets that were aimed at his lre. and have
jog gained the summit,lnd planted him-elf tit mly there,
he lifted his sword aloft in his bleeding hand, al.d
called aloud to friends and foes, "Capt. Stephen 01-
ney's company
. forms here."
