THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1849 FOR GOVERNOR, H. A ~MUHLENBERG. CANAL TOLLS.—We are indebted to Mr A Parte- Sae fur a copy of this lung expected document. It went into effect yesterday. The Pennsylvania Toll List has always been too complex, owing to a variety of char ges on the Rail Road. Tile people generallynever have understood it, and what is worse they never will. unless the drift is changed. Almost three months de liberations of the Canal Ruud have resulted in a new chapter of intricacies in the shape of a "corn !raw" or sliding scale of charges on section boats,which a friend skilled in such matters, has decyphered for us, and we publish fur the benefit of those concerned in Canal transportation. According to eur notion this acute, as -set forth in the following table, is calculated to answer two or, three important purposes. It keeps the would be cheap carrier up to the mark, stops all strife be tween them and the monopolists by making them shell out $34,00 on a trip for the benefit of the latter clasp; and-bids fair to keep us on amicable terms with the friends of rival Pottle: by offering handsome inciden tal protection to their trade. The wisdom of the Buard may be able to *es how a system that must eventually drive individual enter prise from the public works, will be of t; to the state, but we can assure them that it is anliesplicabla mystery to many of their most sincere friends in this part of the state. .CA 4. 4. ;4 t* 3* .. - CO 9010 CA C. .. 4... .4 .4 n C) 0 0 0 .4 . 0 C 0 0 .0 0 0 0 ...I O 00000 Oh 2 O , nn CD CD CD 0 CD CD CD CD i.l E. a- ..P fr 2 2<, '8 to ° 1 ; c .0 . 3 Ic, c. c. 2g• '1 ... _- PA 1.-..

If, after the Treaty for Annexation be signed and sent it to the Senate, that body do not rntifs it speedily, he is to go to London, and make a Treaty with Great Britain fur annexing Texas to that Government! ns the Texan Congress say they cannot longer preserve themselves as an independent nation. [Gammon!] Ed. Trib. In order to frighten the Southern and Northern mer cantile interests. it is alleged that in less than 10 ur 12 years Great Britain could grow in Texas alone all the Cotton she wants for her Manufactures; and, moreover, although there might be some little trouble about Tex as containing negro slaves, yet there ,might be some provision fur the gradual abolition of those slaves, or they might be kept so many years as apprentices, or England could send over emigrants enough in 5 or 6 years to vote down the system of Negro Slavery. The editor of the Tribune asserts positively that the Kentucky and Michigan Senators are inexorably op posed to annexation, and that the project cannot re' ceire twenty-five votes in the Senate. The Native Americansbad a great meeting in New York on last Thurs.lay evening, at which James Har per, of the firm of Harper S. Brothers, was nominated as their candidate for Mayor. The uQunl amount of abuse against foreigners generally, but Catholics iu particular was dealt out. The poor Pope was hand led without gloves for his illegal interference in the city elections. If all that is said of him is true, his Holiness must be a very officious individual. Last summer, according to one of the federal journals, ho was very active in this county against one of the candidates for Sheriff, and now it appears he is nt work in New York opposing the doings of the kind hearted Amer icans. The Pope ought to behave him self better and not meddle in these small political mat ters. We suppose a grand plot will soon be discover ed or his interfoience in the Presidential question, and qtat will be enough for him to attend to. Loss or TUX TOWBoAT INVINCIBLE.—We regret o bans, says the Piztayarto of March 13, that Capt. Howrin's steam towboat Invincible was lost on Mon day morning last while on herway from the Belize to this city. While near the English Turn she struck e log or snag, and soon commenced leaking. The cap tain endeavored to rim her ashore, but before this could be effected she wentdown. The passengers andcrew were all saved, but boat and baggage were lost CANAL AT THA FALL3.—Tho Kentucky Yeoman notices with considerable alarm a proposition made in Congress by the Indiana delegation to induce that body.' instead of purchasing the private stock of the Louisville and Portland canal, to open a canal around the falls on the Indiana side. Resolutions to that ef fect, adopted by the Indiana Legislature, Here Intel) presented in Congress by the Hon. Mr. Henley, who took occasion to add, that the canal on the Indiana side could be constructed for $300,000, or thereabout, whereas the private stock of the Louisville and Port land canal cannot be purchased for leas than 1,000,- 000. Mr. Healy proposed that as a temporary mea sure, an appropriation to be made to cut a straight channel through the fulls, which can be done for $25,- 000, which is leas than is annually paid by boats as tolls to the Louisville and Portland canal company. The Yeoman says:—" If these views should prevail with Congress, and a canal should be built en the In diana side of the Ohio, it would strike a fatal blow at the prosperity of Louisville. It will be remembered that the Hon. John W. Tibbetts has introduced a bill into Congress to purchase the private stock of the Lou isville and Portland canal company and open the navi gation flee of toll. We trust that Col. Tibbetts' pat, i• otic efforts may be successful in effecting his measure and countratting a scheme, which, if accomplished, will be ruinous to the interests of the chief emporium of our State " SUOAR Housx BURN ED.—The Picayune states that on tho night of tho 11th, the sugar house of S Labran che took fire and was burned with its contents—be. tween five and six hundred hogsheads of sugar. A SoIsD SENTIBIKXT.—Brough , of the Cincinnati Enquirer when he penned the following, must have had in his "mind's eye," a certain cotemporary of ours, whose daily business it has been to let the public see how amazing smart he is, and how exceedingly stu ped all other persons are. He is well sketched in the following paint aph:— "Thu mechanical or professional man, who cannot sustain himself without assailing those of his neighbors, engaged in similar business, may always be consider ed a mean spirited creature, unworthy the name of a man He who gut's about slandering a competitor, bowovet exalted is his merit in his own conceit, will always be despised by noble minds, as a thing which makes itself despicable to gratify a:bad heart." POMEROY'S TRUNK AGAIN The reward of $6OOO for the arrest of the German, Lachner, and the recovery of the lost trunk and $47,- 000. was distributed on Wednesday among the claim• ants by the arbitrators, Judges Kent and Ingraham, and.kambert Suydam, as follows:—To Hit am W Fel ten second teller of the Merchants' Bank, for detec ting the $5OO that was presented to the Bank of New York, $3000: to Munson Clarke, Mayor's first mar: shah, for the arrest of the German. Lachner, $1200; Samuel Walker, second teller of the Bank of New York, for making the $5OO note with the name of Van Schept, when he paid it to that bank, $900; to James E Kelly, clerk with Drew, Robinson & Co., forgiving description of the stolen bills to the several banks of this city, $600; and to J ames McGrath, police officer, for finding the trunk and money, $3OO. ANOTHER DUEL A letter, dated Hamburg, S. C., March 16, pub lished in the Charleston Patriot of the 18th, says:— “Our little city is full of excitement and has been for the past two days. The affair of honor which has been pending so long between Col. Cunningham and Mr. McGowen, was decided this morning, near this place, which almost proved fatal to the latter. The arrangements of the affair wercothese: Thirty paces with United States rifles, Col. Wigfall acting as Cun ningham's second, and Mr. B. Y. Martin as M'Gow en's. There was only one fire passed, Cunningham's ball passing through the back part of McGowen's head; Cunningham escaping untouched. The surgeon's of McGowen think that with great care he will recov er, and not without.” COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY: To the Editor of ike Morning• Post: Sir—ln the publication in the Democratic Union of tho proceedings of the Democratic Convention of the 4th inet„ at Harrisburgh, I notice that several names base been omitted on the list of gentlemen ap pointed by this Convention to constitute a Committee of correspondence f.r this county.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE POST I have to request you to copy the annexed article from the Democratic Union of Harrisburgh. Its bearing on the approaChing political contest fur the Presidency is not only well timed and appropriate, bit the com plimentary remarks it contains relative to Mr WILAIOT, have tact a hearty response in the hearts of all our democratic friends who were assembled at the late con vention. As one of those who were present on the oc casion, I can bearritness to the high minded and manly course pursued by Mr W., the delegate from Bradford, and the firm friend of Francis R. Shunk. His eloquence and courtesy were alike captivating, and will not be forgotten by his numerous friends. It is to be hoped that his district will appreciate his talents and that through such appreciation the name of ilmot may soon appear in our political annals as successful and distinguished. T. [From the Harrishoreli Union THE PRESIDENCY. The campaign is auspiciously opened in Pennsylva ilia. MARTIN VAN BUREN has been nominated for the Presidency by a strong and decided majority. This nomination, which is evidence of his strength in Pennsylvania, has been effected against one of the most desperate and reckless &Picts on the part of dis organisers ever witnessed in this Commonwealth; and it in this which gives tone and moral hearing to the proceedings of the Democratic State Convention.— The federal party had anticipated important aid from the patronage of the. National and State Administra tions. Col. JOHNSON was made the candidate of these men, and under the banner and influence of the name of this great and good man, Federalism and trencher, were to achieve a signal victory. But. thanks to the firmness, the intelligence, the patri /ism, and fearless independence of our democracy. they rave ex perienced a disupp,tintment liiitor and ov,rwhehnitr. In this great victory of principle.this towering triumph of Republicanism, which has re,ulted in nominating Martin Van Buren, of New York, for President, and Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky, for Vice President, Northern Pennsylvania Inns acted a pal' pre-eminently useful, awl cannot fail to elicit the applause of the rico *of the whale slate. It will be recollecte4 that Philadelphia city and county led off in fa,,,r of Mr Van Buren, and that. atm the withdrawal of Mr Bu chanan, the entire Nrictb- responded gallantly to the nomination of the Ex-President. In full county con vention, held on the 6th of February, Bradford county unanimously declared for Vnn Buren and Johnson. Thepositiort assumed by this leading county in the North had a powerful and controlling Influence with the democracy of the state: nod ultimately led to tie victory which was achieved in the 4th of March con vention. It would be unjust to that democratic sec tion of the state, and especially to Bradford county, not to acknowledge the services rendered by her deW egate in that convention, David Wilmot, Esq.. to the cause of democracy. The instructions which he had received to support Van Buren and Johnson were re deemed with an ability and fearlessness seldom surpassed. Mr Wilmot was the strong champion of Van Buren open the floor of the convention, and the insidious efforts which had been made to prostrate this distinguished patriot and statesman, were met by hint and resisted with that success which is evidence of his ability to serve his constituents and the Republican party t f the state. There were many more gentlemen of distinguished talents and high character as debaters in that body, and nobly did they acquit themselves in the performance of their duty. but when the resolu tion offered by Mr Woods of Allegheny, declaring Van Buren and Johnson to be 'the choice of Pennsyl vaia, the delegate from Bradford took the floor, and advocated the resolutions in n speech of such thrilling effect as to be remembered with pride and pl-nsure. The vote which immediately followed is the evidence we offer to Mr Wilmot's constituents of his power and abilities as a public debater, as up to that period the enemies of democracy had professed to be entirely con fident of the defeat of Mr Van Buren in Pennsylvania, by sending delegates t ) tho National Convention units. 'eructed. We repeat, the campaign is opened auspiciously in the Keystone state. Let the domoeu acy of tho Nu - tion take courage. Our principlos will be sustained in the success of the Van Buren Electoral Ticket by a majority of '20.000! This will indeed be evidence of the capacity of the people for self-government. and our noble old Commonwealth will once more be herself again, "redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled.' SMUGGLING IN PHILADELPHIA An ingenious attempt to smuggle was detected on Wednesday on board the schooner Mary Jane, from Matanzas, by the custom house officers. Some bags of coffee were being landed, when the officer suspect ing a trick, plunged his borer into one, and behold! out came a choice mixture of sugar and coffee. On examination, some thirty bags were found nearly full of white sugar, with an outer bag of thin lining of coffee around it. The vessel was of course seizde, chained to the wharf, and cu.tom house locks put on her. Some molasses sere also detected the same day on board another vessel, ready to be smuggled ashore. IMPORTANT VOTE IN THZ SZNATE.-...1t will be seen by our congressional report that the following resolu tion was yesterday rejected in the Senate by a vote o 18 to 23:—8a11. Sun. Resolved, Thatthe President of the Utited Statcst be r quested to give notice teAse British Government that it is the desire of the Government of the United States to annual and abrogate the provisiens of the third article of the convention concluded between the Government of the United States of America. and his Britannic Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the 20th October, 1818, and indefinitely continued between the same parties, signed at London the . 6th August, 1827.

The Wall Paper Manufactory of Messrs Haldship At. Browses. The Cooper shop of Mr .1 N Straub. The large Tobacco Warehouse of Mr Geo Weyman, the interior of which was"completely destroyed. His stock through the exertions of our firemen and citi zens, was, webelieve, mostly saved. The three story brick house of Mr Wm Barker, was very much injured, and a house back of it slightly. They Bazaar Livery Stable of -Messrs R&- H Patterson, was partly destroyed. The dwelling house of Mr W. Scholey was several times on fire, but was suppressed before any mate- VII damage was done. This is, by far, the largest and most destructive fire that bas occurred in our city for years. We do not know that we have ever seen a fiercer contest between the two great elements, fire and water The night was very calm, yet the flames seemed tobid defiance to all efforts to subdue them. The loss cannot now be esti mated. but it mustbe great. Mr Weyman is doubtless the heaviest sufferer, as he owned both the building and its contents, and he left the city but yesterday after noon for Brownsville on business. We understand, however, that he is insured . , though to what amount we have no moonset' knowing. Wa have not room nor time to speak as we would wish of the unwearied exertions of our gallant and un approachable Firemen. No men could have done bet ter.

We: underatand that a hot se belonging to Mr Joaeph Pearson, of Diamond alley, that had been removed from the Bazaar stable, was stolen by some scoun drel during the progress of the fire. Tur WIr.ST BRANCH BANK which has been under suspension for some time, is now paying specie for all her notes. This is a good sign; but perhaps she should not be trusted too far, as the resuscitated solvency of Banks is seldom permanent and they almost invariably have a relapse which ends in a total collapse of the rotten concern. BUSINESS IN BRILADELPFIII.—The Spirit of the Times states that during the past week, the imports I eve been unusually large; upwards of a 1000 hogs heads, and 1700 boxes of sugar; 1500 hogsheads. 300 tierces. 900 barrels of molasses; 2500 bales of cotton; 2600 bags of coffee; 106,000 oranges, and quantity of other articles, have been received at that pert. We may truly remark, that the importations of sugar and molasses have been heavier during the present week than for any similar time for several years past. COMMERCIAL BANK OF LAKE ERIE The last Cleveland Herald states that the notes of this bank ere at pat, and so received by the different Brokers of that city. "We understand the Receivers are paying in full all bills presented for dividends with interest to the Ist of March." In this city, the paper of this Bank is 5 per corn. discount.—Cin. Gar. FROM THE SANDWICH Ig,ADS We learn from "The Friend," a paper printed at Hz-m(41,1u, under date of Jan. 1, that Admiral Du Petit Mount-+ arrived at Tahiti on the 2.1 Nov. with the Relne Blanche" and ••Dante," of 50 guns each. and the "Lank" of 64 guns.

The admiral had landed ahout 300 troops, who, with about 100 opeiatives and artizans, were at work erecting fortifi cations, Sc FROM ST. DOMINGO *I letter, dated Cape Haytien, March 15th 1344, in the Philadelphia Gazette, sayst—."lt is reported here, that the mayor and municipal offloers (seven in num ber) of Petite Riviere—n small town in the West, near St. Marc—were massacreed a few days since, by the military. On Sunday week, the civil officers of this place received an anonymous note, threatening them with the same fate. unless they should immedi ately tesign; and they had conseqUently closed their office, and taken down their national flag. The same has been done by several other of the municipalities. The cause of these disturbances is briefly this: By the new constitution, the power of the military is greatly abridged, and that of the civil authorities proportion. ably increased; hence the constitution is unpopular with the army, which alone has any real power. It is taking matters introits own hands, and the President, it is said, secretly favors the design. Many citizens appear to think it a mistake to have effected a revolu tion—the chief purpose of which was to reduce th army—and then to elect the must successful soldier President.
