Mr. B. then attempted to refute the objection urged
public sympath y and contributi ha on of private aid, were
an improper and unbecoming interference with the in
ternal affairs of' another nation, and a violation of the
s pirit of international law. In justification he quoted
front Rollin several instances in ancient history . , and re
ferred to the universal custom of modern nations. In
F.ngland and in France, public meetings were held,
public sympathy loudly expressed, and pecuniary nid
liberally contributed. in aid of Polaml and Grcere, in
their r espective stritg.cles against their oppressors. In-
deed from the very shores of England, rushed armed 1,

chit of Egypt and his master the Sultan.
But in whatever aspect it may be viewed by the na
tions of Europe, there can be no doubt as to the senti
ments of America. The groat doctrine of human lib
erty—the rights of man—is expressed so clearly, and
enforced so strongly in the "Declaration of Indepen
dence," that he can be no true American whose heart
does not prompt a warm and cordial response. The
very Congress that proclaimed that immortal instru
ment, adopted addresses to the people of France and
'lreland, invoking their sympathy and aid in behalf of
American freedom; and we all know how readily and
,enthusiastically that call was answered. On this sub
ject—the right of the American people to sympathise
with the oppressed and to denounce the oppressor—
the greatest and wisest of our Statesmen have clearly
and emphatically expressed their opinions. You have
the authority of Jackson and Clay, of Buchanan d
Tyler, of Johnson rind Van Buren, of GOV. Se ward, of
New York, Gov. Huyne, of S rad' Carolina, Gov- Por

lustrious names. Contest sech men with the con-' I
temptible demagogues, who, nanble properly to aPPre- I
state the liberty they possess themselves, are unwilling
to aid in the extension of its blessings to others.
Mr. B. said it would heunnecessery for hum to urge
upon Irishmen the peculiar claims their native country
had upon their exertions. The history Of the long past
as blended with their own personal experience, and the
scones of atrocities. too black for the page of history
—which tradition alone preserves—have doubtless
been gazed on by themselves with eyes too hot for tears.
Could they, on this occasion, be insensible to her
wrongs orindifferent to her sufferings, they would de
serve a doom worse than the Helot's degradation.—
No! he knew they would respond with prompt alacrity,
and overflowing enthusiasm.
It had been remarked by some superficial observer,
that the Irish were not deserving of freedom, because
they appeared on all occasions gay and che erful,: and
consequently inferring that they were insensible to their
own and their country's wrongs. But those who tho't I
so, little understood neither theirhistory or their char—
actee—the battle field. the scaffold and the dungeon ,
attest both the depth and sincerity of their devotion to I I
their country. A poet, who well understood the hu

in that respect, in the following beautiful lines.

"They are not dried, those tears unshed,
But flow hack to their fountain head,

But cherished most, when least revealed."

persons had sought to dissuade him from exerting him
self in the cause, alleging that it was a mere Catholic I
question. He said he was brought up in the princi
ples of the Protestant faith, which he had always en
rained and professed, and as a Protestant he scorned,
from the heights of liberty, to look with a sectarian eye
on the rights of his fellowmen. It was no Catholic,
no sectarian questiont—it Was a question of human
freedom, of human rights. NIT. L. continued to address

POLITECAL TUXORS.—Every party is cursed. vrith a 1
class of beings who profess to be attached to its prin.
ciples, but whose sole object appears. to be to create
discord in the party, and to destroy the reputation of
all who loathe and despise the conduct of stela sneak
ing libellers. Many of these pests of parties fancy
that they are capable of writing for the public press.
and they consequently annoy the printers with the oilf
sprint of their stupid brains, which they wish to in-
. _
ilia upon the commuaity.
The subjects onwblclt these political loafers employ
their talents are, of course, not such as will either im
prove orb., approved by a correct public taste, nor co i n
they be of any service to their party. Their subjects
are generally slander and misrepresentation of all who
have had the independence to denounce the pimps and
panders of malignant *factions, and if they succeed in
putting toget'ie.r half a column of the vilest personal
abuse, embodying the calumnies of unprincipled dem
agogues, and tibald abuse of the ruffians with whom
they associate, they have written, what they consider,
a "strong article," but what the decent portion of the
community will regard as the vulgar malice of &sneak
ing slanderer, too cowardly to avow the authorship of
of his low abuse, and COQ low in public estimation to
receive any credence with honorable men if known.
These creatures are incapable of having any differ- .
epee of opinion with their neighbors withnut making it
apersonal quarrel, and to gratify their malignant feel
ings they will not hesitate to violate the most sacred
principles of social intercourse with their fellows.—
They consider a difference in party policy a sufficient
ground for personal abuse, and those who differ with
them in these matters may be sure to find such of their
private affairs as may be known to these "strong wri
ters" laid before the public, embellished with all the
vile misrepresentations and commeuts that such crea
tures can invent. No recollection of former personal
or political frietulship, into which they wormed them
selves when theirirue characters were unknown, can
withhold them front theit natural inclination tedefame,
and, if in their power, to destroy those who dare to re
buke their baseness. Previous kindness and favors
but make them the more ferocious,and nothing appears
to give them greater satisfactiou than to calumniate
those who have treated their faults and failings with
forbearance. It is to be regretted that editure ever
permit such men to make their columns the medium
for pouring forth their low abuse, but when permis
sion is granted, the names of the slanderers should al
vrays be given, so that the community can judge of the
propriety of the persons who undertake to condemn
the conduct of their fellows.
We have had many applications from these puliti-
- -
cal tumors to admit their anonymous abuse into nor co- '
lumns, hut where we knew the attacks to be unmerited.
we have rejected them or required the proper names
of the writers to be attached to the articleo. By pur
suing such a course we have incurred the displeasure of
many of them: A refusal to be responsible for their
personal abuse they considered a want of independ
ence, and we hare, from this cause, (to our great sat
' isfaction) lost thefriendship and svpport (! ) of many
of them.
T -str rt; wri:ori" are not prcaliar to anyone
party; they are the pests of all, and most of the politi
cal rancor and personal quarrels that occur in political
contests originates with them. The evils which follow
the meddling of these persons ran only be checked by
the press taking n firm stand, and either to reject their
calumnies orrthen they are permitted to assail their
fellow citizens to ic in under th-ir proper names.

copy of the document fur him before it is delivered in
Congress. To get an advantage over all the other
offices by giving a person $2O, fur co mmitting a larceny,
may be a very honorable way of showing his smart- '
1 neve but if he will keep his promise not to issue the
stolen Message, until two or three hours after the re
\gular copies have been received, we do not think that
many will object to his enterprize, as every other office
in the city can have it set up and printed in that time.
We would like to know who Mr. is. that is to be
engaged to frank the purloined Message, as we would
represent to him that such a course would be unfait
to the other offices, and that the connexion of an
Honorable name in such a transaction, might not be
considered very creditable by his fellow citizens.
From the Madisonian.

Mit. Founs.sr.—A story 1•11.3 started in New York
by Mike Walsh, accusing Mr. Forrest of refusing aid
to the widow and family of his early friend, Leggett.
The slander was r epublished in many of the eastern pa
pers, and yesterday it appeared in some of the morn
ing papers of this city. By the following note from
Mrs. Leggett it will be sena that the story is a base
falsehood, as would be readily supposed by nn person
who knows any thing of the generous nature of the
groat Tragedian:—
"New York, Oct. 30th, 1343.
"Me nett FRIEND—I have seen with surprise and
astonishment, in the N. Y. Herald of to.4lay, an article
which pnrports to be an extract from a certain print
published in this city, and said to be edited by a Mr.
Walsh: and 1 have no hesitation in declaring every
charge contained therein, so far as regards yourself, to
be entirely false. Yours, &c.
ELMIRA LEGGETT."
P.m:tots CABAL.--The Journal of Commerce says
that Ex-Governor Davis, of Mass., has accepted the of
fice of Agent in this country, to verify the estimates
and statements on which was based the proposition
übmitted to the Done-holders. by Messrs. Oakly and
Ryan, for the purpose of obtaining an advance of $l,-
60,000, sufficient to complete and put in operation,
the Illinois and Michigan canal.
If Gov. Davis reports in favor of the accuracy of
he estimates, &c., the foreignbond-holders are to ad
vance 124 per cent. on the amount of their stock,
forthwith, to secure the progress of operations on the
canal, till the meeting of the legislature. If, when
this body convenes, a disposition is manifested to make
some provision, within the ability of the state, to pay
any part of the accruing interest on the debt, by the
i mposition of a tax therefor, then the advance will be
continued till the foreign holders have paid up thei
qu o ta, amounting to about $1,200,000 of the $l,BOO,-

PLOUGHING UP A RAILROAD
- -
We learn form the Adrian, (Mich.) Watchtower,
that the citizens along the line of the road below Bliss
field, assembled by general invitation, one day this
week, tore up about fifteen yards of the track, built fen
ces and piled un the rubbish, ploughed ur the soil, and
as we are informed s:,wed the same in wheat. The
mails, in consequence, have been very it egular lately,
being brought through from this place to Toledo on a
wa : .n.
AN UPRIGHT JUDGE.
"I do not think." says a late English writer on law,
"that there is in nature a more glorious, heavenly sight
than an tiprieht, patient, knowing jnd! e sitting in
judgment. If God ever made man after his own image,
I think he must have made him in that character."

We put the foregoing to the "Learned Blacksmith"

Dustuno to THE Sourn.—Two persons fought a
duel near the swamp on Monday last. They will not
be immortalized by having their names published as
heroes and men of honor. The day is gone by when
a man could strut by with a certain notoriety, and be
gamed on as the lien of the day, bettause he bad been
engaged in "an affair of honor," (as it is called in con
ventional parlance,) or had, perhaps, murdered (for
that is the proper term) his fellow man. These mat
ters are becoming supremely ridiculous, and so they are
considered by all right thinking men.

VALUABLE HEAL ESTATE.
THE undersigned will offer at PUBLIC SALE.or
Lease, on Saturday the 18th of November next,
at 10 o'clock, A. M.. that valuable property. on the
' , oath side of the Monongahela river, opposite this city,
lately laid off in lots, embracing between 20 and 30
acres of ground. •
This is well known to be the most advantageous lo
cation for manufacturing purposes i n the vicinity of our
great manufacturing city, having an extensive front on
the river, and extending back to Coal Hill, celebrated
for the quality ofits coa over any other. and in which
immediate vicinity and extending back are inexhausti
ble mines; railways from which can be run directly in
to works on this property, as is now done in the neigh
borhood. There are also several strata of coal beneath
the surface on the property, which will be valuable_ in
time, by the use of shafts, one of which is ascertained
to be 12 to 15 feet in thick: ess.
A portion of the property being elevated above the
proper level, and the clay being of the best quality for
brick making, can be used very advaotageously in iitt
prevements.
Its advantageous location for Manufacturing and
Building. the Slack Water Navigation of the Monon
gahela, its being nearly opposite the mouth of the Penn
sylvania Canal, and affording every facility for the re
ception of materials by river, at all seasons when navi•
gable at any other point in the vicinity of the city;
its proximity and connexion with which, as will be
the case by a bridge so soon a, it becomes occupied,
altogether render it, in every point of view, one of the
most desirable locations for investment and improve-
meat.
Notwithstanding the number of estensivg Works
which have been erected within the past few years,
manufactures have never flourished more successfully
than at present; the yearly increroing extentof our city,
the immense emigration to the West, and its unequal
led rapid settlement, which our city must ever, as it
now does, most advantageously supply with matmfats.
tares, will yearly increase the * demand, and great rola
our character as a manufacturing place, when were
view the great increase in our number and extent of our
manufactures within the past few years, we meat come
shier itin its infancy, as the great manufacturing and
commercial point it is destined to become.
In addition to the man ufacturineoflron,Nails, Glase r
Engines and Machinery, Cotton Yarns, 4-c., which are
operated advantageously here. we require in this region.
manufactories of Cotton Goods, as the immense quanth
ties of these articles yearly brought from the East for
this, and Western and Southern markets evince, the
profits to the different bands generally through which
they pass between the manufacturer and the western
merchant, would satisfy a manufacturer; in addition
there is the carriage west to east of the materials, and,
east to west of the manufactured articles, besides insur
ance, time, &c., offering every inducement to compan
ies of our own cr Eastern Capitalists beyond compen-
tion.
Applications have been made fora number of wan
past for locations on this property fur Manufacturing
and Building purposes, and it has been laid off into lota
containing nearly an acre on the river, for the former,
and 24 by 100 feet for the latter purpose, fronting on
50 feet streets and 211 feet alleys.
I t will be sold in a body, (exclusive of a few lots) Or
portions will be sold together to suit the views of Ladle
viduals or companies wishing to purchase, or otherwise.
I separately in lots. Scme lots may be exchanged for
buildings on this property, or for a farm.
The terms will be de perfectly easy, only a midi
portion required dun an the remainder in a termef
years, payable annually or otherwise.
Is. is not desired to dispose of the property under the
i • late and still existing depression of real estate, except
1 for its fair value, but from the frequent applications for
its purchase, and the inducements offered at present fee
improvements, every article and expense connected
therewith being so low, it is considered the present
possession for these pm poses by persons or campanile' a
of wealth, wonld be so advantagecnis to them, together
with the terms on which it is offered, that induces the
offer of sale at this time. NEVILLE B. CRAIG
