THOMAS PtirttlPS, trwron PITTSBURGH, MON DAY, D ECE MB ER 18,134 Sliuxies PROsPaCTs.—We can assure the friend of this honest and descr‘ing"democrnt that. his pros pets for the nomination or the 4th oligarch Conven tion, ale becoming brighter every day. Every mail brings us some information. and all is encouraging. In that eastern part of the State thingsloolc ns fair as could be desired. We have information that there is not the Slightest doubt hut Philadelphia county will send ele ven delegates to the Convention instructed for Shank; Lancaster county is regarded as certain; Juniata has already appointed and instructed for him; Mifflin is dertain. II is friends in Ilunting,dan, although doubtful heretofore, express the -nr.ing.est c0.:13. once now that be will get the delegates. lito:.ks county is strong for Shook; nn effort will he made to in:Arta the delegates for local candidate, but as situS.:Fern: is understood it be d - Tented. The linne , st p. , ople in all the cowl: ties should be careful of such tricks as this of instruct ing for local candidates; it ii a project started by the enemies of Shook, and the only means by which they can deprive him of a majority of the delegates on th first ballot. York eonnty elects delegates on the first of January; they will be for Shun!: certain; and strong, hopes are entertained for Adam;. Lebanon county is safe; and the same maybe said of Montgomery. In Dauphin county, they elect delegates on next Saturday; both parties will make a hard struggle, but the proba bility is that the friends of Shunk will he succe,-.560. In some of the northern counties, from which nothin,., was expected, we have received [Littering encourage rnent. We could desire nothing hatter than the indic ttions of public feeling in the KZAtztrn part of the state. But ler has appuinte I and instructed strongly for Shnuk; Clarion has u:ipuinted conferees to meet those of Jef ferson and Venango, and instructed them for %hunk. In Crawford, after Mr. Plumer, Mr. Shank is decidedly tic. favorite; the same in Washington and Greene; and if Han. D. Sturgeon does not go into the Convention, he is certain of the delegates from Fayette. In Indiana there is no division among the democrats on the Gubernatorial question; they are all for Shunk, and the enthusiasm of their public ineetinjs shows that thepeople are moving in the matter. In Allegheny county... Similes :.at home;'' the dem ocratic .festivals and democratic meetings gave a true expression of the feelings of the party in his laver. and when the count' Convention does meet, our friends abroad may resi - assared that five Shunl<Delegates will be appointed. With such encouraging indicatinoso.ve 'nave no doubt of the nomination of Fa ss cis R. SIIUNK, if his friends will only use ordinary activity in the entice. THE. MsTottALTY.—Smne of those who are dispo sed to thwart the wishes of a majority of the citizens is r.2lntion to a cariditlate for Mayor, in noticing our rein - irks' 0a Cal subject, resort to the meanest miarrpra sentations of oar motives for preferring a •'Citizen.e' Candile.e." The charge of pursuing a particular eonr,e with the hope of getting, patronage from the Mayor is as a!),:urd as it is fa:szt. Every baciy, even those who niaLe the charge, know that the Mayor ha.

But it is well known that when citizen candidates, possessing the ne ressaq were brought forward nud sup ported by the democrats. they have always been elect ed, and their friends can paint to their ailminitrations with pride. as bniug it to the interests of tt.e citizens, and colivara them advantageously with the narrow, proscriptive policy pursued by political - Mavors.

WARREN COCKTY.—The following resolutions were adopted at a meeting nfthe deinocraci of Warrea co.: Res3lve:l, That while we duly acknowledge the commanding talonts,devotedpatriotism and meritorious services of the sevetal candidates who will be pres ented to the National Convention, we believe that the time has /141 W arrived when the Keystone state of right ought to present and insist upon to claim for her own favorite son, the nomination for President of the Uni ted States. • Resolved, That in the peraoa of the Hon.JAMES BUCHANAN, we rectig.ii , ie a patriot, Atatesman and democrat. prise- it; tateni4 of a high order—of en larvd and liberal views of Government. and who has cantered himself to the democracy by a patriotic dere ii.in for n long series of yoars to the la.ist. irucrists of the people.

AMERTCAN MANUFACTURES ABROAD A London correspondent of the N Y Tribune, noti (tes several attempts of the English to imitate Ameri can printed cottons, Newark cutlery, end American hardware, tin-ware, household utensils, trunks, Ste. With regard to cutlery and hardware, he says: I was a short time since in one of the great Tailoring establishments, and was shown by the master cutter a pair of sheers made by R Heinish, of Newark, N J 1839. The party told me he knew of but two pairs of them in Limlea, and he would not sell the pair in eie•si ion for d:',so. 11111e35 he had another—that be had I;evn otTereil .Elo tr. hom—that they had been shown', to the best London cutlers. who weal(' not attempt to imitate them. ale trial ls as made and pro ed a fail tore. He wants two pairs, and if they can be sent me by some steward of a London Packet, I will cheerfully ' attend to it. get him a round price, and send the mo ney by the same hand in returo. I think, howeser, 20 pairs could be sold by him in a week, arid perhaps ten times the number, he had better try it through some commercial house. I could give you many anecdotes of like kind. Ono of your oldest hardware merchants who would have disdained a domestic hardware busi ness, brought over here some months since a variety of samples if American hardware, to be imitated fur his trade in New Y irk, and found they could not be made as cheaply here at in America. From this be went to Belgium, Holland and Germany, and found every where 111. e same results." Of trunks, he remarks: _ . "You cannot get a good convenient leather trunk in London. Their solid leather "portmanteaus" are of good materints and well done; bot small and inconveni ent, and will not stand the knocks like those made in New York. Besides, for a trunk 30 inches lung and 12 inches square at the ends, of solid leather, you pay about $35. I have some trunks made by Cattnach that have caused me much annoyance. Gentlemen at the railroad stations and on post coaches will stop and examine the trunks with great care, and in a number of cases I have been asked where such trunks could be had. These trunks cost about $l7 each, and would tell here quickly for Bor 10 pounds sterling. I would wv,er the trunks and traps they contain, that they cannot be duplicated in London by an En&ish ar tizan." Mn. WHEATON, American Minister at the Court r.f Prussia, has arrived in Paris. Just before his depar ture from Berlin, his nomination as an honorary mem ber rif the Royal Acidemy of Sciences of that capital was confirmed by the King. Ma. PHILLIP! In the Post of th;.. 12th inst. I, noticed an article from the " Democratic Standnrd." signed J. Dougher ty, in reply to a haler from J. B. Butler, Esq., Presi dent of the Board bf Canal Commissioners, which has also appaared in your paper. In this letter Mr. Butler enumerates certain propo sitions made by Mr. Dougherty to the Canal Com missioners, which propositions the reply referred to presents in a rather ambiguous and very ditTerent light, denying that the sum demanded from the stnte, for trucks, slips, Planes, &c. &c., amounts to $72,f 00, as stated by Mr. Butler. This raises a question of veracity, on which Mr. Dougherty fortifies himself with the assertion that, he has a written copy of said proposition. Now, I donut undertake to deny that Mr. Dougher ty is in possession of such a copy, but the cause of jus tice and truth obliges me to say, that, if his exposi tion of this affair be correct. the copy from which he quotes cannot be a literal transcript of the document now before rho, dated, August 15th. 1842, addressed to the Canal Commissioners of Penisylvania,and sign ed John Dougherty," attorney for patentees and owners. In this document I find the following pro ' posals specifically set forth in words and figures: I—Slip and Plane at Columbia. $l,OOO 12—Slip and Plane nt Hollidayshurzh, 3,000 `3—Six trains 3 wheel trucks on A. P. R.

But ' taking the increase of trade into view it could not fail, greatls to exceed that amount. A pretty iound en ' cumbrance on the business of transportation. Why in the name of reason and all that is just, should the proceeds of honest industry ho converted into a pen sion fund by countenancing such insidious proposi• flans! Wherefore, I say. should such an annuity be levied on the poor men who aro struggling to gain a footing on the lines of our canals, as carriers, to ap pease the rapacity, or moderate the pretensions, of soh unscrupulous speculators. I have no wish to see Mr. Dougherty wronged; but if he be aggrieved to the extent he alleges—if his Patents have been violated, or his rights and privileges as a citizen otherwise encroached upon by the Canal Beard, the made of redress provided for all citizens, in such cases. is not denied him; and he will much sootier persuade the public that his complaints are well founded, by urging them ia the proper quarter, ' than by continuing his vindictivu tirades against Mr. Butler.

GREAT ROBBER\ Wall street was thrown into a ferrr ent yesterday by the report that one of the trunks belonging to Messrs. Pomeroy & Co's Express had been lost in some mys terious manner from ou board the Albany boat yester day morning. It was an iron trunk. and contained nll the money and valuable packa7,es belonging to the bro kers and b.wks. I t appears that Mr. Copp, one of the hou,e, who was the I raerh•r, oatne to the office upon his ' arrival, about midnight, and stated that his trunks were on board the brat as usual. Early in the morning he started nn 1117 , return to Albany by the Housatonic Rail road, taking the up freight. After he had gone and not bcfo re as was generally reported yesterday, it was dis covered that this valuable trunk could not be found,ancr the manber of it , disappearance remains a perfect mys tery. The officers of the bank know nothing about it, and the absence of Mr. Copp very much embarrasses the search. Messengers were sent to Philadelphia, Boston arid Albany yesterday afternoon to discover if possible some track of the missing property, and it is sincerely to be hoped that it will yet be recovered. It was reported that Mr Copp stated the trunk was phi ' fed in charge of Capt. Schultz, and that the Captain denied it, which t aised a question of veracity: but this re port is without foundation, as Mr Copp made no such statement. Pr.: Y. Tribune, Dec. 11. Cnatotrs Lew Sc rr.—At the lute term of the Cir cuit Court held in this county. a suit was brought by Daniel Gardner a,giiinst A I' fleartt, fur alleged dam ages to plantiff's lots, which he had purcha, , ed of de fendant, by the land slide of last winter. The plan tiff contended that the slide was caused by digging a way the earth at the bottom of the hill, and that said digging was authorized or connived at by defendant. No evidence which was conclusive as to the latter point being adduced by the plantilff he wasxon ailed— Troy Wh g , Dr Caldwell in addressing a class of medipal stu denta at the west said— "In the words of Lady Macheth—" But screw your couruge to the sticking point, and you cannot fail: Be determined—and, like the soldier going into bat tle, let ....very one resolve to kill his man." FOR THE rdsr. T 11r ENTY-LIGHTII CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. WASHINGTON. Docemberl4, 1843 [From the Ballimare Sun.] A great number of petition on various matters were roceived, and referred to appropriate committees Resolutions from the Legislature of New Hampshire in favor of the repeal of General Jackson's fine, was taken up and referred. Mr. Huntingdon presented a memorial from John Ward & Co., of New York, contractors fur the loan, askingeompensatiou for losses sustained by the with drawal of a portion of the loan. A messa,ge was then received from the House relative to the death of Mr Burnel. After an appropriate ad dress by Mr. Bates, the Senate adjourned. Immediately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Adams arose and announced the death of the late .Nfr. Burnel, whoexpired in the recess. After animpresaive speech, the usual resolutions were adopted, and then the House adjourned. 1 believe there are no other deaths tube announced. The first business in order to-morrow is the motion of Mr. Barnard relative to the insertion of his protest.— W hen this perplexing affair will terminate, no one can guess. Probably the paper will be allowed to remain on the journal, accompanied by an'answer from the majority. Its a pity gentlemen cntinot agree; Their little hands were never made To tear each other's eyes. The health of Mr. Adams is still very frail. I should nut be surprised if the venerable gentleman were soon to take his seat in that House above "not made -kith hands." I understand that the Secretary of 4'tate gave a grand party last night. This evening there are three more in various parts of the city. Those members who have brought on their daughters will not want for opportun ities to "get them off " The dry goods merchants are rubbing their hands for joy. The prosenre of so many ladies in the city ensures them plenty of business. Major Raub, the inventor of the safety valve for pre venting the explosion of steam boilers, has, I see,been appointed to keep the principal door of the Hall of the House. When the political steam runs too high, the Major must put the valve into operation. It is said that the post office ar the HOLM will be abolished, and a new arrangement made. At present, I am told, the. messengers have. to carry the letters of members to the residence of the latter every night As same live in G :oreetown, this is a laborious business. Mr Jones, the Speaker, is beloved by members of both par: los. His conciliating manner will do much to repress bad feeling in the House. The influenza in not yet extirpated. It is seizing people by the throat, and making them sneeze in a strange manner. \Vhat are the corporation about. It is said that some of the office seekers now here are about forming a new company, the shares in which are to be sold extremely low, and uncurrent money ta t ken into the bargain.
