TTSBURGH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Sitt,tt OF THZ PVOLIC Sons.—We regret'tolearn
fromethe letter of our cotrespondent that it is proba
ble that the project of selling the public works will
again be sanctioned by the 'Legislature. It will be
remembered that the Governor, in his annual message
referred to the matter, and stated that if the bill should
again pass. he should not feel himself justified in veto
ing it o andonrnoble improvemenat will be thus filched
...;; Vont the people and pass into the bands of monopo
lists and stock jobbers.
ANI! man, who will honestly consider the matter for
sallihnent, will assert that any real benefit could be
derived from such a saki, or that it would relieve the
citizens from the taxation necessary to retrieve the
fallen credit of our state. It would, indeed, enrich
the stock jobbers who have purchased the state stock
for ono third its par value, but it would leave the
people in a more hopeless condition than they now
are. As long as the public works are in possession of
the state, and properly managed, the people have an
assurance that at least a portion of the means necca.
retry to meet our engagetr.etts can be realized from
Una, and the great increase of revenue for the past
year, notwithstanding a reduction of tolls, gives good
ground to hope that in a few years it would not
be necessary to think of any additional taxation.
But if the improvements are now sold, and even if
they bring the sum at which they are estimated by those
who advocate the sale, there will be still a debt of
twenty millions hanging over the people, and no source
from which the smallest portion of it can be realized
but the pockets of' the tax payers. With the improve
ments we have a reasonable gmund of hope, that in a
short time there will be no necessity for heavy taxes,
but take them from us. and then there is no mode by
which it can be avoided, except by repudiation.
When the people come to ender-land the gross in
justice that a sale of the public works would inflict on
t!tem, we believe that men of all parties will join in
execrating the authors of such a nefarious scheme,
and if it is consummated, we would not be surprised to
tnd those who were plundered regarding the doctrine
of repudiation with a more lenient feeling. Wo hope
thetax payers will bestir themselves in time, and take
Cie proper steps to defeat this project of the eastern
Kock gamblers—if they do not, they will have cause
to regret bitterly their i ndifference on a subject in which
they aro so greatly interested.
M'Soma writer in the Gazette who signs himself

to make capital out of—and the resolutions introduced
iat that meeting were well calculated to bring about
that effect.
Mr CLAY is called the "Farmer of Ashland," and
the "Mill Boy of the Slashes," to create the impres
sion that ho belongs to the working men, and sympa
thises with that large body of our citizens. This is
another of the abpocrit ical devices of federalism to
hoodwink the people. Mr Clay has never belonged
to the working men of our country—he has ever dis
rited labor, and on various occastons has gave utter
ance to the mostcontemptuous expressions in relation
retimso who earn an ltonlst livelihood by their own
industry. This is welt shown in the Cmancipatorolie
editor of which very clearly establishes by quotations
featn his speeches, that Mr Clay has never been ci
thot a friend to labor or alaborer himself. "His real
•sentiments," it says, "with regard to the inherent dig
lty of labor itself, are not to be learned from a few
cautphrates about "the mill boy of the Slashes."--
Thera was a time when be spoke out, under the im
pulse of strong excitement and gave utterance to the
whole feelings of his gpul. It was in the first debate
en the Missouri 13iil, Felt: 15, 1819, in committee of
tlte whole, where he used these memorable words:
"If gentlemen will not allow us to have black slaves,
they mug let us 'have white ones; for wit CAN Nor CUT
ova ittigwooo,and SLICK OUR SHOES, AND HAVE
MIK 'WIVES AND DAUGHTERS WORK IN
THE KITCHEN."
Such is Mr Clay's opinion of labor, and we leave
it to the people to ea); with how moth right he can
chum to be called the "Farmer of Ashland."

itteatelefete, Feb. 17, 1844.
The legiSigtisitineittlenu of the past week have
been ertilad end Oicurietally interesting. Sorrel ,
of-ss „keel nature' feesed, - with toweled then a *play
a oratory upon the whig humbug, which now mt.
by the name of Cooper's Resolutions here, but is'aoth
-1 ittimers nor less than a reproduction of Out jelinson's
groat panacea for the Siete Debts, in the ghillie of a
National Debt of two hundred millions of dollars: a
sort of political Brandreth Pill, which is to be a eer.
Mtn cure for all the ills of the state. By extraragant
expenditures, abominable - Bankism, add the delusive
promises of canal and rail t pad manias, our state now
lies bleeding, to be handed user for cure to whig em
pirics, whose grand panacea is to dose the
.patient_
with additions of the same 'tuff. Let the patient be
ware; their remedies are poisonous, and let the toseln
be sounded to the democracy to stand to their posts.
I solemnly believe these Cooper Resolutions are but a
part of the machinery of the whig party; intended to
be set in motionin every corner of the U. S., to seduce
the unwary from tho principles of Jefferson, by specious
promises and siren songs, more dangerous than ever
were the Tippecanoe melodies. When Mr. Cooper
first brought forward his Resolutions for the relief of
Pennsylvania, by the creation of a National Debt of
two hundred millions, year member,Mr Brackenridge,
had the sagacity to perceive that its bearings were more
for tare relief of the Baring. & Brothers and all the
tribe of London stockjobbers, at the expense of our
National independence, and ho immediabtely brought
forward his counter project to pay our debts like other
honest folks, as the antidote. Mr. Brackenridge was
right, and by this held move, completely disconcerted
the whig game. Mr. Cooper, who is an able man,and
would be so considered anywhere, and has been in Con
' great, thought he was going to have it all his own way,
and actually medea strong impression is his opening
speech, upon some of your political friends whose
bumps of firmness were not, very prominent. One of
our clever fellows forgot himself so far as to take the
bait and suffer himself to be fished up into the whig
mud pond. He will soon :Lender back, I hope, into
his wonted element. This is all the darnarsdana be
fore kle.:Beachooridge took the door, whiebbedid up
on the frest •oPpertunity. By COMIIiOI2 Milan' the
honor was acted to Wen to lead off' in the advanced
guard of .deastecracy, in oppOSition to the 'whole of Mr.
Cooper's mischevieus schemes. He did so with pow
erful effect; and tore to pieces the silken net so artful
ly spread. Ho made a close, logical and apparently
unanswerable argument, which gained him much rep
utatkin on all sides. His remarks dissolved the charms
ofthe siren song. The able democrats of the House
ore following up—such as Mr. Rotmfort, Mr. McFad
den, and Mr. McManus, act of whom wield heavy bat
tle axes. and t ie Speaker with his mace to boot.
You have before this heard of the passage of the new
county of Carroll through the House; quite a large
majority for it; and much owing to the talents and clev
er qualifications of its chief advocate, Mr. McFadden,
of Washington county, and a true democrat too.—
Washington county democrats are well represented by
him
The new county of Lawrencehas not fared so well.
It was ably advocated by Mr. Sankey of Mercer, and
much desired by Mr Bennett, an excellent representa
tive from Beaver, but all would not do. The new
county would be qidte small enough, and reduces Bea
ver to almost nothing.
The committee of ways and means, it is understood,
will iu a day or two, report a bill, to 'rail.° by state tax,
$1,500.000 per annum, and will provide fur a fairer
mode of valuation, and efficient collection. The sale
of the state improvements is considered a bitter alto/_
native by all, but I fear the necessities of the state will
compel it, and Pennsylvania have to sing as the poor
sailor did to his sweetheart—
" When cash is low, the Ting must go;
If that won't du, the buckles tun."

Gov. TUT Nu cos .—The St. Louis New Era thus
speaksof Gov. Reyne4ns, whose suicide we mentioned
yesterday:—"For porno time past he had been suffering
under a chronic-disease, attended with considerable de

is known to us. He want lanyert.fconsiderable abil
ity,apolitician of much tact and talent, had been a mem
ber of the Legislatures of Illinois and Missouri, Spea
ker of the House of Representatives and a Judge of a
Court in this state.
He left a wife and one son, a young man nearly twen.
ty years of age. Gov- Reynolds was a,nativo of Ken
tucky and had resided in Missouri about fifteen years.
He was in affluent circumstances, and bad entered in
to contracts for building a fine dwelling on his farm
near Fayette. His untimely end is much to be regret
ted. Patriots and philanthui.ists of all pal-lies must
deep'y repot the occurrence of such acts, on account
of their unfavorable influence on public morals. For
the chat acter of our country and State, we would de
sire to see all our prominent politicians go out of office
in peace and good credit, and we regret that the career
of Guy. Reynolds has terminated in such fatal gloom.
We suppose that Lieut. Gov. Marmaduke will imme
diately assume the Gubernatorial office.

MR. PHILLIPS:-..-I have just had the mournful satis

one of the few survivors of the ill-fated Mier prison

fiendish Mexicans, on the 23th of last November.
The letter bears witness to a kindness and generosity
of disposition, bravery in time of danger, fortitude and
energy amid the miseries of their situation, that had
gained him the love and admiration of his comrades,
axd even the respect of his enemies. Written by one
sick and destitute, in hopeless confinement, and daily
expecting to follow him whose mournful f,te he is re

PauncTioN.—The Boston Post, Speaking ef tho
present Tariff, and the attempt now making to modify
it, thus shows its operation on labor and on capital:—
"The wages of labor/lave been reduced since 1840.
and on the Ground that unless reductions were made,
the mills at Lowell. &c.t must stop working. Suppo
s:ng this reason to have been valid in 1692, it is nut so
now, as the dividends on factory stocks prove. It is
stated in the English papers that a considerable por
tion of Lowell factory stuck is held by Englishmen,
and perhaps their influence induced the sending to Can
ada fur operatives at low rates, to depress American
labor,
LOBBY
TEN per rent has been the average of dividends, in
cluding all from their start as corporations; and the
rule ha 3 been rigidly adhered to, of keeping their stock
goad by reservatiens amply sufficient to renew their
machinery, &e. Moreover, the holders of manufacm
ring ern partitions stocks in this State are nearly exemp
ted from taxation as personal property. it being valued
by law nt only one fifth, so that a millionaire holder
olfactory stock is taxed eir but 8200,000, and some of
them run out of Boston before the first of May, even at
that valuation."
We observe by the newspapers that practitioners on
the hydropathic method of treatment nro commencing
operations in various parts of tkecountry, and especial- .
ly in New York and New Orleans, proposing to cues
the ills that flesh is heir to, by the internal end external
appliCation of water alone, according to the new sys
tern of Ptiessnitz of Grlefenberg. The patients ought
to get along swimmingly in the aquatic infirmaries,
and if they can be cured thus, it is a proof that water
has other uses besides 'doing much for navigation."
Your cold water has of late become a very respectable
and important personage. Time was when it was
scarcely admitted into society at all, and now it takes
its degree as a doctor and aspired to found a reedi ial
school. Perhaps Galen was a duck and Hippocrates
neither more nor less than a queer fish. It is at least
a curious coincidence that the traditional expression of
dislike for your medical attendant consists in sneering
at him as a "stupid old purrip." \Vas this prophetic

A LONG, LOW, BLACK. SCHOONER
There is lying at the bulkhead opposite No. 84
South street, a savage looking Baltimore built craft,
which could say some strange things if only she could
speak, and in truth her appearance speaks fur itself.
She is a schooner with heavy, raking masts, and spars
enough fur a ship, with a hull 80 feet long on deck. /6
feet beam, and 10 feet hold. with high bulwarks, pier
ced for 6 guns and 24 sweeps. She had made fivo
snccessful voyages from Africa to Brazil. with cargoes
consisting of about 500 slaves each, and had just ta
ken on board another cargo of 500, and when the slaves
were yet almost all of them standing on deck, the
Luau of a British cruiser made their appearance, and
rapidly coming up, fired, killed seven of the slaves,
and captured the schooner. The slaves were liberated,
the vessel was condemned and sold, and she is now
owned by a British merchantat Sierra Leone. She
has brought to this port a cargo of palm oil, and is
loading with tobtmeo, flour, &c. lot her return.—

IMPORTANT FACTS
R. LF:lD . Y'SSaraaparilla Blood Pills are applica
. •We in all cases, whether for Purgatives or Pa
rificatiest, They possess all the boasted virtue* of
other pills, and arc additionally efficacious, oontaining
Sarsaparilla in their composition, which is not contain-
ed in any other pills in existence. They are also dif
ferent from other pills in ccrmpciition, being Purely
vegetable, and can he employed at all timer, without
any danger, and requiring no restraint from occupation
or usual course of living.
Notwithstanding Dr. Leidy never pretended his
Blood Pills would cure all diseases, vet his not saying
ton much of them, from the innumerable cures perform
ed by them in every variety and form of disease (cer
tificates of many of which have been published from
persons of alf denominations, physicians, clergymen,
and others) that they seem to be almost universal in
their etfeA t; and persons using them for whatever sick
ness or disease, may rest assured that they will be found
more efficacious than any other pills in existence.
From the known reputation of Dr. Leidy's Blood
Pill, it is necessary to remind the public where they
can at nil times procure the genuine, ns his attempted
to impose other pills, called the 'Blood Pills' upon the
public on the reputation of Dr. Leidy's. lIICFBe par
ticular and ask for Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla Blood Pills,
and see that the name of N. B. Leidy is contained on
two sides of eneirdinx, (the boxes being of paper, and
oblong, squareshape, surrounded by a yellow and black

CERTIFICATIC—The following letter from Major
General Sandford, as to the ExtertrAl Remedy, speaks
volumes.
New Yosat, 'Feb. 9, 1842.
.
Dear Si,:. Will you oblige le with another - bottle
of your exce,lent Liniment? It is certainly the best
of the kind I have ever seen. It has curedentirely my
SOII . A knee, about which I was so uneasy, end'l have
found it productive of immediate relief in several ca
ses of external i 'jury in my family. A few evenings
since, my youngest child was seized with a violent at
taek of croon. which was entirely removed in twenty
Minn tni, by rubbing her chest and throat freely with the
External Remedy. I think you ought to manufacture
this Liniment for general use, instead of confining the
use of it, as you have heretofore done, to particular ac
quaintances. Yours truly.
