THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR
PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13.
Tie MATORLLTY.—Tbero are a few democrats
who do not avec with us on the impropriety of run
ning party candidates for the Mayoralty. but we feel
enfidem that the. great body of the party regard this
question as we do, and would prefer supporting a man
brought out as a " Citizen Candidate," than one who
• had secured a party nomination. li mny do for those
Who know nothing about the action of parties at our
city elections, to talk about running a candidate of the
rigst strtpe, but those whe have taken part in these
elections for years past, know that the democrats have
always opposed party nominations, and have always
cheerfully supported " Citizen Candidates," when
men we're selected in whose competency and liberali
ty they could confide. Look nt the vote when we
had political candidates in the field: Same of the
best and most popular men in the party have on seve
ral occasions been nominated, and what has been the
result? Why, our party candidate never received more
than half the party vote! This result was not occa
sioned by any sound objection to the candidates.
They were generally men who were held in the highest
esteem by their fellow citizens. Honest, capable, and
of undoubted democracy, and every way calculated to
make good and popular officers. Then why should
we attempt to force a policy on the citizens that they
have so frequently condemned, and which no par
ty arrangements can make them support. It is
plain to every moderate man that fur a proper
management of our city affairs, we must have public
servants who are not political partizans, in office, and
who do not feel that they have been chosen by the ex
clusive partiality of a party. As we have said before,
we are willing to follow any course that may be adapt
ed by a majority of our democratic friends, but we
hope, that with the light of experience before them,
they will rot depart from the good old practice of the
party, in condemning the introduction of politics into
the management of our municipal affairs.
SIIUNIC IN INDIANA.-A friend writes us from
that the Democratic meeting held in that
town, on last Friday evening, was one of the most re
spectable ever convened there, and the resolutions in
favor of the nomination of F R SHUNK were adopted
by acclamation.
A meeting was held in Conemaugh townghip, on the
same evening, and similar proceedings ado . .ted. The
democrats of Indiana will be certain to send a Suo.,tx
delegate to the Convention.
Juiv lATA.—The democrats of Juniata county have
appointed their delegates, and instructed them to sup
port the nomination of FRANCIS R Snuita. The
people arc beginning to "thunder," and almost every
peal that reaches us, indicates their preference for Mr
Shank. We do not believe there is any room to doubt
his nomination.
OUR Nsvy.—lt appears from the Report of the
Secretary of the Navy, that the ptesent naval force of
the United States consists of one ship of 120 guns; nine
ships of the line of 90 guns each; one razec of 62 guns;
twelve 52 gun frigates; one 50 gun frigate; two 48 gun
frigates; eleven first class sloops of war of 24 guns
each; three 22 gun sloops; five 1.6 gun sloops; two
sloops fur store ships, 6 guns each. There are also
four first class sloops on the stocks nearly ready for
launching. Eleven 10 gun bries and schooners; three
ditto used as store ships, and one for a receiving vessel
atCharleston. The steamship Mississippi of 12 guns
the Fulton of 8 guns, the Princeton (Ericsson's pro'
pellor) of 12 guns, the Union of 4 guns, (with Hunt
er's submerged wheels.) the Poinsett. of 2 guns, and
an iron steamer, the Michigan of 6 guns, nearly ready
to launch on Lake Erie. There are likewise four
small schoonersemployed as packers or receiving ves
sels. In all, seventy-six vessels of the various descrip
liens.
IMPORTANT BRITISH NAVAL MOvEMENT.—The
Halifax Post of the 28th of November, states that
Vice Admiral Sir Charles Adams departed from the
port with a fleet on the 26th, for Central America, and
remarks thattho business the fleet is concerned in is
.of deep importance. Some old difficulties are alluded
to, as well as the mare recent contempt shown to that
British flag at a party where the British Minister was
present; and what is probably more grievous than all
the rest, the restriction tariff of Santa Anne, proves
injurious to British trade.
Flll.E.—We are sorry to learn from the Boston
Transcript, dime Ere bloke ant at the Public Conser
vatory from one of the flues, and the fire was confined
to a space only of eight feet square in the floor. " The
whole building. however, was Mid with a dense
smoke for more than two hours, and with an atmos
phere, of 15 Fahr. Touring in through the broken glass,
the whole stock of beautiful and rare plants are inevi
tably lost. The splendid collection of Camellias, the
test and choicest in the country, in high health, in full
bloom and bud, numbering some thousand plants, not
one of which can be restored. present an aspect this
morning that is really painful to behold. The p,oud
„peacocks, the beautiful pheasants, presented the es
-tablisbruent by ate Hon. Mr. Webster on his ration
from England, and the rare and splendid African
cranes, all lie dead, having been suffocated by the dense
smoke. The loss of property is very large, which, we
believe, was but partially insured.

Fuss—INCENDIARISM.—The Louisville Journal
of Thursday says:—"Some scoundrel set the Ger

law, be applied to the payment of contractors on the
public woe, in satisfaction of old claim 4 which the
Treasury has heretofore been unable to discharge."
nrSome of our cotemporaries are exceedingly
vexed that the Governor should attend so promptly to
oar suggestion about a Thanksgiving Day. They say
that they mentioned the matter long before any other
paper, and no notice was taken of it. Of course his
b:aceilency would pay no attention to anything they
would recommend, but he entertains a very different
opinion of our suggestions.
Axortirs. Basic Rottatar.—The Providence

Van Buren (Arkansan) Intelligencer, that the Cherokee
Council have provided by law for the publication of a
newspaper, to be called the'' Cherokee Advocate . ' to

The celebrated Wiliam Ross is to be the editor.—
Probably a more judicious selection could not have been

ablest man in the Cherokee Nation. Success to him
and his paper.

MORE PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE
CAROLINE.
This British barque belonged to Greenock, Scotland,
buued from Grenada to St John, N. 8., in ballast,
was cast away utCranburry Point, Prospect Harbor,
near Goldsboro', on the 21st ult., and all on board ex
cept four were lost. There were twenty-two persons
on board, and amongst those who perished were all
the officers of the ship. Of those saved one jumped
to the shore from the jib-boom, when the barque first
struck; the others were drifted ashore ou a part of the
wreck. So violent was the storm that all the masts
went by the board in a few minutes after she struck
and the hull was not lung in going to pieces. Those
who have been there say that a more perfect wreck was
never seen befere, pieces of the vessel being strewed
all along the shore.
A good deal of doubt exists as to the cause of the
disaster. It appears from the statements of the crew
that they made Brier islander, Saturday, and that the
captain then kept the vessel off and on until Mentla
afternoon, when the men becoming dissatisfied, went
to hini in a bode and demanded of him what he in
tended to do with the ship, and requested that he would
not run her on shore, but tint, if he did so, he weekd
do it in the day time, and give them a chance for their
lives. The captain seems from their statement not
to have taken much notice cf this. other than to tell
that he wored take them .rifely to St John. From the
log slate, it appears that this appeal must have been
more violent than the sailors represe n t, as it is there
recorded that they threatened to take the command of
the ship from the captain.
On Tuesday, they made what must have been Mount
Desert Rock, though they did not know it, and in the
eveniee they found themselves among the Freakers, sod
attempting to wear ship, but failed and went ashore.
Mier uttempting without success to save themselves in
:,awl boat, which was dashed to pieces as soon as it
struck the water, all of the sailors except the font
saved, clung together near the how, and by one wave
wereswept away. The captain wis swept away from
the quarter deck, and the mate did not come out of
the cab in.
THE TEXAN NAVY,
The sale of the Texas vessels was to have taken
place at Galveston on the 23d ult., hut a company of
soldiers in complete uniform. with full ranks, drums
heating, colors flying., and their field-piece crammed to
the muzzle, marched to the street in front of the Cull•
torn House, attended and prevented the sale. There
were no bids.
Rumor state+ further that Sam Houston swears
Galveston has declared itself inderndent, and is no
longer a portion of the Republic of Texas.
The New Orleans Tropic of the 27th ult., has
the following strange tale of cruelty and mystery:
"Yesterday a slave named Celeste, belonging to Mr.
Desihondes, was arrested by an officer of the First
Municipality Police, charged with keeping a negro
woman confined in a chicken house in a yard adjoining
a house in Trerne street, Letwcen Du Maine and St.
Anne streets, andtreating her with great cruelty, not
even allowing her saffirient food f•n- her sub.4i.tence.
We saw the neer() woman lying on the thior of one or
the cells at the old ea ard we never Inaked
on a more miserable and deplorable looking object.
She is a perfect skeleton, and appears quite crazy. It
is stated . that she has been confined for six month: by
this woman in the place where she was found, without
clothing, and from het-appearance it is evident that she
is nearly starved to death. The woman Celeste says
that this poor victim of her cruelty belon g s to a man
up town who allows her $7 month to wk care of her.
There is some mystsry abont this affair, and for the
sake:of justice and humanity we hope it will be Sifted
to the very bottom; and whoever may be guilty of this
outrage against humanity in thus treating this poorcrea
cure, we hope ample justice will be dealt out.
From the Philadelphia Ledger
A GLEAM OF HOPE.
A jury, upon a second trial, a week ago. convicted
Wyman, the plunderer of the Piumnix Bank of
Charleston, Mass. Our readers will remember that
he escaped on the first trial by the disagreemritt of
the jury—that wide door cur in the temple of justice,
in modern times, fur the escape of murderers and
swindlers of the •'first standing and respectability."
But, on the second trial, the jury, with the clearest
evidence oft he prisoner's guilt, came to the extraordi
nary conclusion, that "a gentleman of wealh, stand
ing and ts rspeztability" deserve I paoish not fir a
great robbery, as 'nmdt as an 1: ant. h Aisles:, rag
ged, hungry vagabond, for the petty larceny of a loaf
of bread. The trial was held in the manufncturing
town of Lowell—a town situated in the midst of an
agricultural county; and therefore the jury might have
been composed of farmers arid mechanics, instead of
merchants and traders entirely dependent on banks.
Had it occurred in Boston, the result might have been
more doubtful, because the paper-money classes feel
great sympathy for each other in financial difficulties.
This is not bpen , 101 they h tee less cense ienre than far
mers and mechanics, but becan:e thy are more under
the influence of a corrupting, demoralizing, wicked
SVAIrm.
We hail this verdict . in Massachusetts as the com
mencement of a new era in the administration of the
laws. Its influence cannot be confined to that State.
It must reach other States, sweeping Pennsylvania in
its course, and, RA we begin to hope, will pervade the
Union, and transfer from palaces to penitentiaries
ninny who now insult public morals with a parade •f
icht.•s plundered from the widow and the orphan.

WHEAT
It is said that there will be about 118,000,000 bush
els of witeat over and above the quantity necessary fur
home consumption this year. The overplus in the
four states of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and 1 0 ichigitri,
will, it is said, be about 41,000,01/0. These estimates
appear almost incredible. But taking the moiety as
the true computation. there will he an enormous sur
plus. Fifry-nii,e millions of bushels of wheat reduced
to f1..0r, at live bushels to the bat ml, would produce 11,
bOO,OOO barrels; which at $4 would give the sum of
$47.200.000. The exports of flour have in no year
exceeded $17,000,000. From this it is evidenLthat if
our surplus flour is to find a foreign market, it must he
at a reduced price. The price cannot be Itept.up by
monopoly with such an immense overplus in the coun
ts.

faith of Ireland—it was found to be consistent with the
highest glory of Englund, and the undiminished in

THE ORIGINAL, ONLY TRUE AND GENUINE
LIVER PILL,
A Remedy for the Diseases of the Season.
TT is admitted by pathologists of the highost author-
ity, that no organ of the human body is so readily
disordered in its functions as the Liver. The heat,
errors in diet, and the never ceasing indiscretions
which expose our race to disease, will always on the
approach of winter give more or less evidence to hun
dreds or persons in every vicinity of hepatic. disturb
ance. Restless nights, dry tongues, loss of appetite,
headache, pains in the sides, slight cough, confined or
irregular bowels, with or without fever. are some few
of the many symptoms which indicate that mischief is
at work in the system, and that it should be corrected.
Persons who seek relief from these symptom§ by con
tinual purging, often resort to sonic of the ephemeral
products of the day with the effect only of postponing
a cute which better remedies must finally accomplish.
Not only do persons residing in districts of country
always subject to agues and bilious fevers, suffer from
torpor or other derangement of the Liver, hut also in
the highest and healthiest regions. In our own sections
we arc not free from agues. Individuals who rest too
securely in the notion of extreme health, and who at
tach no importance to the symptoms above recited,may
nevertheless be laboring under the very causes of di
seas° to which their attention is now invited. In ma
lerial districts, known to every 0110 as such, vigilance
in the nse of means is compelled by urgent necessity,
whilst in healthier regions persons really in dangerare
lulled into a false security. To all such persons the Li
ver Pill is recommended. It having well established
claims to their confidence, as a mild and safe aperient,
not only opening the bowels as comfortably as other
pills. hut at the game time acting on the functions of
the liver and restoring them to health. They do not
relieve the symptoms by mere purging, and thus invite
to an incessant consumption of pills, box by box, for
the benefit of the vender, but by a mild and curative
process they enable the patient finally to dispense with
their further employment.
