Add the States that have recently redeemed themselves from Federal bondage, to the inmaculate levee whose Democracy in '4O braved the tornado or, false opinion, and we have a majority that the evil spir- I its of two worlds cannot crush. This revolution in pablieeentiffient is no m iracle. It is the result of "the ' sober second, thoughts" of the people, which, in the , language Of the Martyr Statesman cue" seldom wrong and always efficient."

Who Will wonder that on the . 4th of September 1341, the Mill boy of the Slashee-in gaiter pants. with a bottle of Lloyd's Cologne Water on his toilet, voted against motiehlo place tea and coffee among the free arti c'leel Who will wonder that in a letter dated, Sept. 13, '43, and addressed to the Editorof the Lagrange (Ga.) Herald, Henry Clay virtually disclaims the history of the protective tetiff of 1828 and the cir rumstances which gave it birth, as " highly discretita- Ide to American Legislation." Who will wonder that this champion of a moneyed oligarchy, is designated as a candidate for the Presidency in 1844, by the al most unanimous consent of the Whig party? Accustomed to lift the pall and open the sepulchre amoral turpitude, the Whigs of the present age do not wonder at these portentous phenomena in the po *Weal world; but when the maddening Leal of party strife shall have wasted its fury, and public con *ciente re-assume itsabdirated throne,then will all ho nest people wonder. When the mists of fable shall have gathered around the past, the Historian will wan der, as he records the evidence of moral treason, that any portion of. the American people honored moral traitors. The future patriot, as he bends over the urn of empires and gathers from among the moul .tiering fragments of attiquity, the memorials of our early triumphs, will wonder as he beholai - the shield of civil liberty pierced by the boastful suns of freedom. Fellow Citizens : Your devotion to the cause of Democracy has been attested by defeat and triumph. It.now becomes your duty to express your preferences of men. In May next, the Democracy of the Union, by their delegates.assembled at Baltimore, will select a standard bearer to lead you on to victory. The magnanimity of Mr. Buchanan—shis self-sacrificing devotion to the cause of Democracy, are conspicuous in his withdrawal from the canvass. The names of Van Buren, Johnson, Calhoun and Cass, goad men and true, will be submitted to the consideration of the Convention. The friends of the several candidates itamexpressed their preferences as suited their pleas- Ore. And while we concede to others every privilege consistent with the maintainance of our rights, we claim for ourselves freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of the press. We go the Marty' Statesman— " Star of the North! undimmed by age, - Unquenched in dark proscription's night. A million eyes reviaw the page, Where envious malice sought to blight." We go the Martyr Statesman, him who "Fell with the Truth he would not sell, Fell with the Truth! S , llllO bard hath sung "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again," Then ho alone, perchance among Those silver•headed patriot . men, Shall bear that self-same standard high, The shouts of millions echoing by." • We ge the martyr Statesman, - . "His name forgot! when victory swells . Her notes of triumph far and near, . A clear light in the distance tells His own good time will yet appear; When justice with her iron pen. Shall sit among the the courts of men. - Undaunted Sage! thy northern skies - Hang o'er a people bold and free; And eyes that saw thy sacrifice, Are beaming forth again to thee." Te conclusion, Fellow Citizens, we recognize Martin Van Buren as a perfect por,onification of pure morals, Dertiocratic principles. And in as much as his re 'eleetion in '4O was prevented by fraud and falsehood, - justice to our cause. and justice to his stainless charac ter imperatively demand his election in '44. There fore, we have firmly resolved, and we trust that every honest man in the United States will resolve, in his heart. to go Martin Van Buren for Presi lent, if norni ' tutted, without another if, "why or wherefore." With ' perfect confidence in your integrity and ability, we sub.. !pit the subject to your decision. Your humble servants, ORVILLE H. BROWNS, ANDREW BURKE, A. McILWAINE, J. MURRAY.. J. WHITAKER. sT.

THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBUR6II, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1849 gaP The Canal Commissioners are getting onslow ly, but surely, with their appointments, andevery day a crowd of office Seekers are leaving Harrisbugb, with a remarkably large-ilea in the ear of each of them. It will be seen by the letter of our Harrishurgh correspon dent, that Mr S. S. Ismisott and Mr DAVID WATSON have been appointed Supervisors on the Western Di vision in die place of Mr. A. Moaats. We under. stand that both gentlemen are experienced officers and well qualified to attend to the duties en ts usted to them. FROM HARRISBURGH Extract from a Letter to thge Editor, dated HAanisserarill, January ID, 1843 Dear Sir: Ou yesterday, the board of Canal Corn tnisiiiners determined to appoint two supe , rvisorn on tho Western Division. from Johnstown to Pittsburgh. They.inaritediately selected Ssset.S. Jaeliatitt; of In. &Ina county, to take charger of the part of the division which ends at Pittsburgh; and to-dny DAVID WATSON was chosen for the post which commences at Johns. town. THOMAS BENNETT, was to-day reappointed supervisor of the West Branch. The appointments made previously you have doubtless heard of. The collectors, weighmasters, &c., will be taken up after the supervisors are disposed of. The committee of investigation adjourned yesterday until Monday next. There were some facts elicited duringits session. Major Reher, of thr Land Office , testified that he saw a paptir signed by Isaac G. Mc- Kinley, which promised one-fifth of the proceeds of the public printing to A. 3. Glossbrenner, if said Gloss brenner would obtain the vo es of the York and Adams members fur McKinley fur State printer. The mem bers referred to voted for Mr McKinley, and the pa per was handed over to Mr Illossbrenner, after the election took place. There was nothing of interest before either House of the Legislature to-day. There ere yet a good many borers for office here, but crowds of them have tell.— It is an admirable thing to find that there is so much patriotism left in the laud—there is no want of men who are willing to serve their count 7 in the shape of office. SUSQUEIIANN•CUIJ3TI POR SHUNIi.—The subjoin_ ed is extracted from a letter dated Montrose, I cult The news is the mono gratifying because the rands of of Mr SfiCNIC . never cluimcd the delegates from Sus quehanna county.

"There will be a strong effort made in Bradford co. in favor of Mr Shunkott the Couvention,to be held about the Ist, of February, and his friend; do not despair of carrying the delegates in his favor." A LONG STANDING CANDIOATL:.—Governor Mor ton, in reply to the congratulations of his friends, on retiring from the Gubernatorial chair, stated that he had received the suffrages uf his political friends, elven ty4ne times,for one or other of the two first offices in the state I This he said was a mark of confidence which noother mania the state could boast--cspecially in . the democratic ranks. . 13:1' John Wise, of Lancaster, Na., has forwarded a petition to Congress, asking fur an appropriation fur the construction and outfit of a Balloon, ono hundred feet in diameter, with which he pledges himself to cir cumnavigatts the globe aerially, in ,from thirty to forty days!

A number are in circulation, Kentucky State Bonds to the amount of $1,750 000 were burned in Frankfurt on the 10th inat., in obedi ence to a joint resolution of the Legislature.

The wind from the South and Southwest blew with such violence as to inundate the flats in the lower part of the city, and produced sorao injury to ressels.—The water in the harbor rose higher than it has for three or four seasons past. The wind drove the Great West ern over from her moorings with great:force against the Wisconsin, displacing several of the stancheons of the former; .and some sixty-feet of the new hurricane deck of the Wisconsin was ripped up by the wind and thrown on the ihtire. itwactudged on the ware .housa adjacent, breaking in a large portion of the roof.

We would call the attention of the public to the advertisement of the "American Portable Boat Line," inserted in this day's paper- Mr H. Devine, of Pittsburgh, has been for several ram a transporter, in connection with the "United States Line;" but some other persons lately connected with that line, having commenced to do a Transporta tion business under the same name, H. Devine, to pre vent confusion, has changed the name of his line from the "United States" to the "American Portable Boat Thee." The manner in which this line is formed, and the principles on which it is conducted, deserve public conlidens.e and public patronage. The agents are gentlemen standing in the foremost ranks of business men; they insure all goods anti pro duce intrusted to their care; they receive turd forward goods at all points, free of commissions. The captains of this line being all interested in the boats they command, will have an interest in putting goods through in good time and in good order. Penn sylvania has much to hope from this system of Trans portation. The truck system has only been in opera tion during last season, and whatis the result'? Trans portation has been cheapened 30 to 90 per cent; the revenee of the State has been:largely incrensedsone hun dred enterprising boatmen, each with his Portable Boat; have already sprung up, as if by magic, who by their skill, industry and economy, have cheapened the price of Transportation, and who, if encouraged, will bring avast increase of business on our public works.
