In 1838, when the federalists resolved to carry this
state by fraud and corruption, they had McNutt and
STEVENS appointed Canal COM M iSS I 3nera,and through
out that memorable contest every villanous scheme
that could be devised was resorted to to defraud the
people of their choice. They have now, no doubt, re
solved on another desperate movement, and, as a pre
paratory step, they have placed the great leader in the
pipe -laying frauds of 1840, in a prominent position,
where his natural inclinations can have full scope.—

RICHELIEU BY FORREST AND MACREADY.
Itensible correspondent of the Philadelphia Spirit
of Times, speaks thus of the performances of these
IRO, distinguished actors:
"Do Saturday night Richelieu was performed at both
the 'Chesnut and National theatres, Macready in the
one,a,_mi Forrest in the other, taking the part of the
wil)i:Ccirclinal. Both houses were filled, and we think
i that neither of the two great tragedians ever
percititiied. with more spirit, or to a more enthusiastic
tut:hence.
9f,the Richelieu of Messrs‘ Macready and Forrest,
we Oarcely know how to speak. Both were uncom
, monefforts ofgenius; both were thrilling, effective and
natural; yet nothing could possibly be more unlike than
the tiro representations. In some points Forrest was
unapproachable; in others Macready was infinitely be
yond his rival. Forrest's 'was the more striking per
forretince. but Macready's the more finished and satir
ical: The two remind us of the incident in Scott's
Tales of the Crusaders, where Cocur de Lion, to shew
his 'kill, cuts abar of iron in twain with his battle-axe,
while his StuaZenic opponent delicately divides with
his Aoimetar a veil that is thrown towards him. The
onz is allforce, the other all dexterity. Each is equal
ly great in his way, bat the way °reach is totally differ
ent from that of the other.

nia on the subject of the Presidency, and such sugges

are certain, receive a hearty response from every quar
ter of the state.
The democracy of Pennsylvania are so unanimous in
favor df the nomination of JAMES BUCHANAN, that
thereis no cause for discussing the subject, and conse
quently but little feeling is evinced in the matter.—
This harmonious union on the favorite of the state has
given the enemies to the claims of Pennsylvania, an
opportunity of misrepresenting the popular sentiment
abroad, and our inactive policy is attributed to a feel- 1
ing of indifference, instead of a union of t'te whole par

much injury abroad,as it may induce many of the warm

Iwe feel no deep interest in the matter. It behooves us

-LUE Nose COSMITTF.E.—The Antimasonic Com
mittee of Correspondence met on Saturday, and after
considerable discussion, adopted a resolution authori
zing a County Convention to be held on the 4th January,
1844, to decide on what shall be done with the small
remnant that remains of the antimasonic party.
Between the present time and the 4th January, the
leaders in the city will ascertain what kind of a bargain
they Can drive with the masonic (Clay) whigs, and on
that day they will be prepared to hand over the whole
antirnasonic party to the "Ex-Grand Master." But
we doubt much whether the great body of the antirna
sons—the honest voters who have been gulled so long
by city leaders—will pay any attention to the doings of
this committee. They have been
, t . sold and transferred
too often by the city clique, and now that the organi
zation to which they wore honestly attached is destroy.
ed, they will take their own political course without
permitting others to dictate to them. Whatever ar

they may rest assured it is one ofcorrapt ion, and entered

NEW YORIC—The election for members of the Le

band of rowdies, in the pay of the whirs, at the head
of which is the notorious ruffian, Mike• Walsh. We
suppose "all the decency" will have the services of this

himselfto Mr. Bocimegra, the Minister of Foreign Af

the occurrence. The Minister replied that the "Jack"
was taken from the Texans, and on that account alone
had been placed among the trophies, and with no view
of giving otTence to the British government. Mr.

ALWAYS READY.
During the last war a revolutionary veteran, lived
near the ocean, never went to bed without having a
well-loaded gun by his side. One night there was a
violent thunder storm, which shook tho house to its
foundation. "Husband! husband !" screamed his wife.
"get up! the Britishers have landed, or the Day of
Judgment has come--f don't know which !"
said the old soldier, jumping up, "let them come on—
they'll find me ready for either of them."
ELK COUNTY.
The Commissioners appointed by the Legislature
to locate the seat ofjustice for this county, have selec
ected Ridgway as the site, and have placed the public
buildings under contract, to be finished during the next
season.
The beauty of the plan, and well known skill of
the contractor, Mr. Derby, insure the erectien of build
lugs that would do credit to any county in North Wes
tern Pennsylvania. The public square and buildings
are no expense to the county, the whole being furnish
ed and paid by Mr. Ridgway, of Philadelphia, and the '
enterprising citizens of the place. There are large
bodies of unseated lands in this county, but owners need
not be under apprehension of increased taxes, as little
or no expense has, or will accrue in Its organization;
and from the well known character of the commis
sinners elected, and their determination to lessen all
expenses as much as possible, and keep the county oat
of debt, will insure perfect satisfaction to all interested
as owners of property in that section. The populntion
is nearly 3000 and rapidly increasing; good hinds to
actual settlers are sold at from $.1.25 to $2,01 per acre.
There are many German emigrants settling in this co, ;
and though the sail may not be as fertile as in some of
the western states, the inhabitants are exempt from

BURNING OF HORSES.
It is ofte been remarked t fire; but many have con
sider 'd it an unauthenticated statement. An incident
~f which the writer was an eye-witness, may be inter
e:tin to some "four renders.
It was a cold night, in the November of 1840, while
I w e were sojourning in the State of New York, that the
/ cry of fir: alarmed the citizens of the quiet town in
which we were then staying. We soon discovered
that the : , ;able attached to the hotel was in flames,and'
our first efl,rts were directed to the safety of the hoc-'
se's which it contained. We threw wide open all the
door:, and unloosed the halters; but no sooner was this
(lio., than some of them rushed to the fire, inhaled the
buroing element, fell down and died instantly. After
considerable exertion, we succeeded in getting six oth
ers out; but tire immediately turned, and with a single
leap, hounded into the midst of the fire. The other
ran, with much speed, a distance of twenty rods from
the building, and then wheeling about, made his way
back to the tire, in spite of our efrorts to stop him, and
shared the fate of the rest of his companions. This
statement, although it proves nothing new, may he re
lied upon. It was a melancholy spectacle, to behold
on the next morning the half burned bones of eighteen
noble steels, still simmering among the smoking em
bers.—Forum.
MASSACRES.—An arrival at Sag Harbor brings in
telligence, that information had been received at the
Bay of Island, from the Isle —, north of the Bay of
Islands, (: , robably one of the Fejees,)that three English
vetsels bad been cut off and their crews murdered; in
one instance the captain had his lady on board—she
fell a victim.
BALTIMORE MARKET
For the week. ending Friday, November 3.
Beef Ca Ille.—Tha offerings this week exceeded
1.000. ;Lod about 9 10 sold at last week's prices $3 374

Flour.—The market has been gen:1111y quiet since
our last report; City Mills has ruled at $4 25, on time,
adding interest, and select brands of Howard street at
the same; but fur mixed lots not over $4 181 could
probably be obtained; dealers are taking it from cars at
4 12k. The stock of Susquehanna is light, and $4311 ,
we belief 0, has been the best price obtained.
Grain.—Wheat has advanced two or three cents,
sales of good to prime red having been made at 90 to
93 cents. but the receipts are very light; inferior qual

no private transaction s to note. Since our last report,
sales of Porto i.ico, in Ithds., have been made (towards
the close of last week) at 221 to 234 cents for 153
Ithda.; and this week a parcel of 25 do. at 21,4 for
fair, and 14 for inferior.
Spirits--WhiAkey is excessively dull at 24 cents
for MA4 and 25 fur bbls; and New England Rum re
mains at 28.

174 do. at 6 40 to $6 65 per 100 lbs.
Tobacco.—Thereceipts have fallen off, but prices
remain unchanged: Maryland common to middling, 2
50 to $4; and good to tine 6 to $3 per 100 lbs. Ohio is
in fair request at 4 to $7 50 for common to fine; and
wrappers sell higher, from 10 to $l2, acco r di ng to
the quality. All of good quality is taken as soon as on
bale.
