Mr: M.Y ORA C.T 7—LiST CA LL.—TheM lio
.more time to cnnvase the claims, abilities or populari
,ty of the several candidates; every man most now go
1.117 work and by his exertions at the pry:, seem e the
'triumph of the man echo will administer the affairs of
'foe office with vigor and impartiality. We hope every
-democrat rn the five tynrds will turn out, and use every
•erlint £sr theit candidate; nut so much on account of
him behg the nominee of the party, as to secure to the
-city an effleiem and energetic officer. What gooduh
jection can be made to the election Of Jolts Bunt LNG
HAM? All who know him MaSt admit that none mom
-competent could be placed in the office, and as a good
•afficer should be the first comsiticraticn with every citi
-Zen in voting fur Mayor, we have no hesitation its corn.
-, :strentling, Mr Br Rat IN G ti A AI to the suffrages of the N% hale
-community. He will no be the officer of a party or
-clique, but the vigilant agent of the whole people.—
He is the man of the people; raised here, and having
Isis all invested here. he is alive to every thing that can
:zeros the interests of Pittsburgh; ho is the man, too,
above all otters, who will be able, by the promptness
and energy that characterizes him, to ensure obedience
eo our municipal regnlations.
Wehope his democratic brethren n ill be active for
-him, and that every democratic vote deposited in the
tallot box to-day, will be for Birntingiam. If such
elm the case, his triumphant election is certain.
•PUBL IC FA ITli.—We are sorry to see how prone same
'people are to be led cult, ay. Ity party feelings,to approve
-of wrong and cond mn right. Honesty in the abstract
is approved, at least in profession, by all men. No
one denies that " honesty is the best policy" for indi
viduals and for states; and that it ought to be regard
ed nit oily, as matter of policy, bat as matter of prin.
Nu honest member of a merca - :tile firm would
. think of preventing his copartners from paying the
delstkof the firm, on thin ground that it v..ou:d take
part of Ms money to do it. Yet we do often find men,
who make use of all kinds of shifts and turns to get
aid of present "payment—making ell kinds of excwes
t o their enascien..es for not pet l;n-rning their duty; say
mg to tll,smiel•.-es, thnro is no h-tw to enforce these oh
ligation& or i. 113 la..v gives ma my own time, and trying
to sitisfy their conszierizes that, because ih: , y cannot
lee compelled, th,:re is no duty.
We cannot 1121 p titinising, that nor hal.ita of thought
open this subject hove been fast tending to a degree of
- moral looseness that is truly alarming. We have often
thought that our legi.dat ion on the suspect of the rights
of debtor unl litor have condaueci greatly to this
result. It seems to us oar stay laws, and valuation
latrs have ori.3inatt-d as much from want of a proper
high tone of-honesty, as from money, and have always
tended to teach our f..110w citizens that there is no vir-
Tao in punctuality, no merit in promptly performing
ims's contracts, no immorality in putting off one's
creditors to the latest period, no dishonesty in refus
ing payment until execution is brought, and then
adopting all the connivance.; of the law of pkWilOrle
1130 paym‘.nt, oven for years if possible.
These legislative caatrivancos appear to us ralizai
ly immoral. They are usually got op to protect ex
str tvagant speculation from the natural consecciances
watch do, and should follow individual avarice It is
a means of altering the order of nature, and saving the
stsmathrift. and speculator from the dnmediate effect
cf his folly, until others become ruinously involved in
his fate, and until he shall sport still longer on the
property of others, and becoms less able to perform
his contracts.
These things raly in seta measure ai-clunt for the
looseness of morals in relation to the payment of debts.
But, what we care more about at present, they may
in Lime rneasul . ~ ac.iutiat for the little feeling of honor
which is in inirested in relutinn to oar public debt, and
the little elsiiety that prevails fibula it, except a hen
we get a glimpse of the tax cilleetor at our door, or
hear of suing new expellent or raising funds to pay
our debt.
But we hive calm ost forptten the object fur which
WO t 1 up o.lr pen. We have- been led to these re
marks, by the frequent complaint! which we have
seen, in Whig papers, about poor tar-burdened and
tniq-pgying Pennvlnani2, whenever an linnost at
tempt is made, and an bon ast mode pi opose,l to prove
ourselves honest. From that quarter we have con
tmantcom &tints at all effort, to raise tha fuadi neces
sary to maintain our fti ;h. We cannot saippose that
the 1.V14 - s meal to be dishcnest, when they thus cow
plain. Yet tech coadant tends to dishonesty.
have certainly strayed far from correct principles, wh nn
part) attn.ch - neuts an l party prejudices, ovcrcom
hide our honest principles.
Governor I'onTln deserves the warmest praise of
the community for the manly and honest persevoronce
with which ho bat intuited upon the proservotion of
a t untarnished public faith. And yet, (we say it with
sorrow) it is rarely, if ever, that we have seen him
sustained in a. proper manner, even in this particular,
by a Whig paper.
Go this subject, there should be no party divisions.
For many years past we have not paid even our in
terest. In Ritner's administration, it was pretended
to be paid, but it was not in fact. The I.bt c mtinu
(A to grn.v by borrowing menu to discharge the in
terest. Governor Porter's great effort has always
linen to reveal to us our real standing, and to impress
upon us our proper dodos. Why can he not be sus
tained in this, by the whole people, without regard
to party? He is weak, the legi3lature is weals, with
out a clear, uiNnivccal popular support They both
aged, and should hive it. All our papers, Whig and
Democntic, and all the people, shiuld speak out
boldly ald honestly in favor of sustaining the honor
of our noble state at any cost.. We would not have
the finger of scorn pointed at as repudiators, nir
all the little wealth that we possess.

.1•31113 DUNLOP, TUC MAN OPJIGOIIt3. — It is a long
time since this iruhridual performed anything sufficient
ly attractive to deserve a newsparr notice; bis dis
course-en the most effective means by which burglars
could efreet nn entrance into dwelling hunoes, and the
Proper kind of '; . jiggers" to use on such occasions, was
the last fol:y committed by him that was worthy of be
ing held up to public contempt through the "'mons
or,ipublie journal. llis small doings round , the Ccurt
n•ith his "finny cases " has furnished matter
iln the ulter - Mite amusement and scorn of the mern
bars of the bar, and all oth:•rs who despise the lowest
tricks of the lowest pittiluggers, but he has not, since
his diffu,ion cf useful knowledge fur' housebreakers,
received that attention from the press that a man of his
practices, legal and otherwise, deKrves.
We are induced to notice this person again on late
count of a most gross end unprovoked attack which
tmderstand he made on our weekly, journal. in the
course of some °rids remarks in the Court of Quarter
Sessions last Friday. The parpose or provocation of
this attack is a mystery to us; the fellow had almost
passed from our mernmy, and we did not know but
he had abandoned his vile practices altogether, until a
frioud informed us of his low, vulgar, but characteris
tic assault upon the reputation of our paper His abuse
we understand, seas made np of the foulest falsehoods.
uttered with nn impudence that might do credit to a
practical professor of "jig.serology," bin would disgrace
any one having the most remote pretent'ons to the prin
ciples of a gentleman. He had the impudence to
state in the presenceufdozens who knew how bud the
lie was, that the course of the Manufacturer was nut
approved by the party, and that it had done great in
jury to the democratic cause. The fact that its sub
scription list almest dun hies that of any other polit . -
cal paper, will prove how basely false is the first pa t
of his 5t....t 'meat; and the election of the whole demo
cratic ticket, is a sufficient answer to his lying conclu
sion. Bathe went on further in the ardor of his men
dacity and assured the Court and Jury that the course
of the Manufacturer had teen so unpopular that the
party had put it down and started. another paper !
This was his last effort, and it is n wonder that eking
utterauce to a falsehood of such magnitude did nor
strang,le,him. We venture to say that there we* not
a person within the reach of his voice, that could nut
have oxposed the falsehoed and held Dunlop up as
contemptible slanderer, if, indeed, any new act could
make itim more contemptible in the eyes of this com
munity than his whole course of conduct since he first
settlei among us.
Knowing that there is no immediate cause, we soi-
l - rugs that this outburst of vulgar abuse is on account
of same little attentions we paid to this knave a few
years since, when he first commenced a developmen:
lof his principles in this city. lie then, without the
•
slightest knowledge of us or our paper, attacked us an
onymously through the Advocate, without any ima
ginable motive, except a desire to indulge his base dis
position to abuse those who never injured l.im. When
we discovered that he was the umber of the articles,
we gave him such a wake as he deserved, and it is
the remembrance of that and some subsequent atten
tions, to which we are indebted for his notice of Fri
day last. We are not much surprised that we should
be assailed by this prttifog3er, under the protection of
the license claimed by lawyers of his class; it was all
i t the line of his practice, and where cerntures such us
Dunlop ince the privilege of indulging in nen-strained
abuse, they will be certain to seize the occasion to tal.e
revenge on a nme one N ho has rebuked and exposed their
folly, baseness or perfidy. For such reasons Dunhp
assailed the Manufacturer, and although we kid al
most forgotten the provocatieu of his attack, l.is suf.
frm'y abuse Las refreshed our memory, and we may.
perhaps, again review Ida conduct, persona::y and
professionally, N ith many arid;:ions that may ha% e late

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM FRANCE-AN
OTHER MINISTERIAL RESOLD TION IN
SPAIN.
By thin arrival of the pocket ship Burgundy. from
Havre, Bth December, we have Pansrpapers of 7th
De ce mber. the most important item of inteiligenee
i' a conkterition of the overthrow of Okotazn. the Span
ish Prins Minister, who had been in office but two
weeks. In eonsroprence of the oppesition e zinced by
the Cortes toWarkla Olozagu. the latter person attempt
ed to force frmo the Queen, 23th November, a decree
dissolvins . * the Cortes. Her Majesty next day announ
ced to the Cortes the high-handed procedure of the
Minister, and stated that, after having shut her up is
en apartment. he had forcedter to him her ind
to sign the decree: sirererw threw herser on the protec
tion of the Cortes, and on 29th Nov.. a decree was is
sued a rr notorcingthe deposition of Oluxaga, and the con
fiscation of his property.
Advice§ fro:n Madrid of tin last named data state
that the Queen on that day called the racers of the
Cortes around her, nod consulte i with them upon the
formation of a new ministry. Don Pedro Pidid and
Gen Serrano() were entrusted with the organization of
the new ministry.
Oluzagu denies that he intended insult to the Queen,
and hurls back the charge upon hi. enemies, asserting
it tube the result of a conspiracy, intrigue, and hate
against him. lie entered rho Cortes as usunl, and took
hi , soat oolong the members of the opposition. Gore
zalas Bravo was nominated by the Cortes as Minister
of Foreign Affairs, in place of Olozaga. The Qualm
confirmed-the appointment un let Dec. Serrano, Fri
rt< and all the other mini rters gave in their adhesion to
Gonzn lee Bravo.
From Athens we have advice% to 20th Novembea,
when King Orho prvsented his address to the National
Assemldy of Greece, announcing, the revolution/which
had culledth.lm together. He says:—
‘• all the aid of the Hot y 02(g, we will unite obi r
effort for the establishment of a law fundamental and
conformable to the real wants and situation of our
country. " * Ihe prosperity of Greece is my
prayer and my glory."
Constantinople, 15th Noe.—\Ve believe here that
the Parha of Soudan was poisoned by agents of Me
hemet. Ali. The revolts in Syria threatens serious
sults. The Sultan is sending out troops to put down
the result. The G, eek revolution is spreading all sa
loon,' the frontier, and in a short Limo our borders will
be in a blaze.
