Freittry, March 15th, 1844.
New:swim lot Conan ess.—The unanimity with
which Dr, Gasztpr was nominated for. Congress, on
Weltiasday,was sot only highly gratifying tolls friends,
;but afferds &sure preaagerf victory. We consider it

Leterty,dernocrat think of this; let him not only go

Few men havelpattled more successfully in the dem
°crude ranks, or deserved better of their party than Dr
Guests, end his fidelity and activity are now about to
be Crow - tied with an honorable reward. But there is a
matearof more 'importance than the rewarding of a
faithfialienttocmt at stake in the contest. By electing
him we Wig secure to the district a reprlkentative who
willhava theability and influence to serve his constit
vents bitter than would be in the power of either of his
competitors, and it would at the same time effectually
crush the corrupt allianceof the whip and antimasons,
which waseousummated by the most flagrant bribery
ad corruption.

Mr. DARRAGH the Whig leaders have shown that they
dare not bring the leading principles of their party
boldtpintethe eiente4 and prmont- their man as the
Clap cortelfidale and friend of the measures that were
aitg4 4 4 by him while in Congress. They were ex
tremely bold &limn time in talking of the "Clay tri
umph" they would achieve in Allegheny county, but
when theeuuggle comes to try their boasted strength.
*Mime of their candidate for the Presidency is stink;
they did . not dare to whisper it in their proceedings of
their convention, and they pin their hopes of success
to the popularity of an office holder of President
TYler!
The Old original Clay men are passed over, those
wbo have been the friends of Clay ever since his name
was first mentioned for the Presidency, have been .con
temptuously plashed aside to make way for a candidate
who it is supposed can bring the influence of the ad
ministration to his support. •
We do not suppose that the friends of the President
wok any saliva part- in the proceedings of the Union
ceirirention of -Wednesday, for it would not be consis
tent with their principles to mix in such a gathering,
bat it is certain that circumstances have controlled
natters in such a way as to give the " Tyler men" a
least :signal triumph over the Clay faction tint has
blies taxiing the President so grossly for the last three
years. The only prominent candidates before the con•
tantion were CHARLIe AVZIEY, an avowed and ardent
rend of Mr. Clay, and CORSELII33 DARaLatt,o very
worthy ace holder under PresidertiTyler's adminis
;trutiont We did not expect, tharkir. barragh, situ
ated as be is, would stand the slightest chance before
rker grand alliance that was formed to elevate Clay,
'ttirrosuate democracy, and every other opposition
:§l . llllkbt stand in the way of his preferment. But
tortr4‘se mistaken; the Clay men themselves appear
to fully understand the wenknees of their great stand
ard bearer, and the avowed Clayman is rep diated,
and the party is called to rally to the support of the
friend of President Tyler.
• •We are pleased to sip Mt Darragh pal in nomina•
`inn. It is a just compliment to him for the noble
manner in which he defended the President and his
• • biendsagainst the denunciations of the Clay politician.
`Every one remembers the meeting that was called by
thewhige some two years since for the purpose of de
. iodic* the Hon W • W Limn, because he voted
tierßootklvit/ and the Tariff; that wus brought
forward in the House of Representatives by thefriendis
Mr Clay. Mr Darraghattended that meeting, and
• .io an *bin speech, defended his friend Irwin and the
President, and succeeded in defeating the purposes of
the ,denossicers His triumph did not stop here; for
Issy haw now.,by nominating him, confessed their er-

rout which the principles of Fourier are taking in the
public mind, and the energy with which his disciples
have seitowork in disseminating them. Although not
fully conversant With the doctrines they advance, we
trituslook with approbasidtt upon any project having
for its object the Aevatkrn of mankind, and a re-or
grinizittion of society. As it at present is, it is but lit'
de else than a scene of crime, degradation and die
trest--appelling ami heatt-sickening. All our legisla
tion appears to have been inadequate to meet the evils
%Oda exist. and she more we have had of it, the
worse we become. Whether the reform proposed by
Fourier will be able to bring us to that "social and po
litical liberty and equality," su essential to the hapt
nest of mankind, or relieve the grievous burdens which
so heavily press upon a majority of the human race,
is a question which time and experience must decide,
The project is, nevertheless, worthy of being fully test
ad, end we can wish its advocates everywhere "God
speed."

We will keep a sharp look out fur this "triumphant
majority."

THE LIBERTY CANDIDATE.—The following is the
r eply of N B CRAIG, Esq. to the letter of a member
of the Liberty party, who solicited him to accept a no
mination for Congress. As the Union Convention did
not nominate Mr AVERY, Mr CRAIG, will of comae be
a candidate and he will receive a good support from his
old antimasonic friends, who have spurned the late bar
,gain and sale with the "masonic whigs."
Pwrsetrann, Match sth ,1844.
Gas rtaststlt—l have received your note dated the
4th inst.,and haviug carefully considered its contents,
now pro ceed to reply. I hams seen in some of our pa
pers, a card of Mr Charles Avery, signifying his con
tinua to be a candidate if he should be nominated, and
my decision wilg be contingent upon the same fact.
Mr Avery is one of our most meritorious citizens—a
gentleman of the most pure and eatifilable character—
one who is deeply interested in whatever of good or
evil may befall our common country, and who being
thus interested wiUhonestly and faithfully use his influ
ence as a Representative to Congress to promote the
general welfareof his fellow citizens,and not merely to
'abeam - the mercenary or ambitious purpose of him
self, or those who urge him on the people.
Entertaicing this exalted opinion of Mr Aver)'s char
acter, end believing, as I do, that he would make a
meat able, industrious and upright Representative, I
- cannot contest to be a candidate in opposition to him;
batif be be . not amainated, I will cheerfully accept
' year noudnation, and, if elected, will labor with all

FROM CIIIN A
The New York Commercial gives an interesting ae
count of in interview which took place, in October
last between Mr. Forbes, the A merican Cotisul at Can
ton, and Keying. the Imperial Commissioner, the ob
ject being to ascertain whether Mr. Cushing would
be permitted to visit Pekin. Mr. Forbes at the meet
ing, said:
"An envoy from the government of the U nited States
was on his way to China, to pay his respects to the
'F.mpero4 that he came with the most friendly feelings
and intentions, and wished to know "in what way ho
had better proceed to Pekin, whether by land or water."
As was expected. Keying at once replied with some
astcmishment,"Why go to Pekin?" and added, in sub
stance, that there was no necessity of his going to Pe
kin, as the commercial privileges and terms which had
been agreed upon with the English were granted also
to the Americans anti All other foreigners, and "every
thing had been settled." He then repeated. "Why go
to Pekin?" and asked with some anxiety what object
Mr. Cushing could have in going there, other than
that of arranginga commercial treaty. He said that
if there was no other object it would be perfectly use
less for Mr Cashing to go there, for "no one at Pekin
knew any thing of the foreign trade," and evinced the
most decided unwillingness that such an intention
should bo persisted in, dwelling much upon the "fa
tie,ue and difficulty of going so far" aid the uselessness
of taking so much trouble.
In opposition to the Pekin scheme the Viceroy and
the other commissioners earnestly concurred, and all
' that could be said in reply had obvionsly no effect.—
, Keying said, however, that be would transmit any
• communication to the Emperor which Mr. Forbes
should wish to make, and that an answer should be re
turned; and be asked Mr. Forbes to give him in writ
ing whatever he desired to say, clearly end explicitly,
to which he would give a clear reply."
The Commercial thinks that permission will not be
granted to Mr. C., and thut, under the rircumstnnees,
our government ought not to persist.
It is doubtful whether the new system of trade and
opening of the new peril intim north will bo of any ad
vantage to China. Her imports Will soon be much
more than her exports, and the balance of trade will
turn greatly against her. The native manufacturers
too will be injured by foreign competition.
The opium traffic is represented as flourishing and
prosperous as ever. the smugglers lying openly at
VV hampoa among the legal traders. There is no hope
fur any suspension of this tiaffic for the present.
The war has been very disastrous to China It is
estimated that at least 20,000 of her people.have lost
their lives, many of them the wives and children of the
Tartar troops at tho north, who sacrificed them them
selves abets they saw the day against them; and be
sides the sack of cities and destruction of private
property to as immense extent, the Imperial Govern
mentis slid to have incurred an expert se of 100 mil
lions of dollars.

after a world of argument and discussion, the first sec
