.• • kitheries. t hstiNguithing tho articles thus exported, and their value. With these facts b e f or e oe , w hi c h i ~,s see alloffacial, let us proceed to the examination of the the great question. Our chief agricultural exports to Texas, as the table shows, were pork, ham, bacon, -beef, butter, cheese, flour, bread, and bread stuf, amounting to $163,641. 10 looking at thee:miens of - .41840, the population of each s etas section, and the amount crf, those products , in imit swe, , vve will find .that the chief surplurof these produook raised for sale 'beyond their limits,were•inthe in iodic Wises, composed 'err New York,-New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delawate, - end Maryland, includingaire 'District of Columbia; mid in the northweeition states composed of Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan., in ' eluding also Wiscoisin and lowa. The middle and northwestern states derived, then, .the prnoipal profit hr the sale of agricultural product to:Texas. In the sale of domestic manufactures to Texas, the New En .glaird elates came first; and next in their order, the middle and northwestern states; and in looking at the. principal items of which these exported mannfactures .ao Texas were composed, 1 •findthat of the surplus pro. ..,%duced and sold to Texas, Massachusetts stood first, •attti-Penneykenia second Next as to commerce, as .eimnected with Texas, the middle states stood first, ,rand then the New England and northwestern states; "sad here New York susoll lime Massachusetts second, and next Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. But here 'we mast retmark the special interest which Louisiana, cthrough her greet port of New Orleans, has in corn --, amerce ds connected with Texas. The total products from commerte in Louisiana in 1840 were 7,868,8913, being one-tenth that of the whole Union, and c.onse eriently, the interest of New-Orleans, as connected with ,matte ro-annexation of Texns, must soon be measured by millions every year. The great city of New York, in 'to which was received, in round numbers, one hundred millions of the one hundred and forty-three millions of ' all trurimports in.he year referred to, end one-third of the exports, has a vast nod transcendent interest in this question; for it is, in truth, a question to be settled in our favor by the re-annexation of Texas, whether New York or Liverpool shall command her commerce. Next as to the products of mining, the middle states stand first; and next, the northwestern and New En .gland states. And here Pennsylvania stands at the head of the list having $17,666,146, or nearly one-half ofthe whole mining interest of the Union. Texas, baying no mines of coal or iron, must become a vast ~ 'consumer of the products of the mines of Penneylva • Mitt. In cables, bar-iron, and nails, and other mare .- factures of our iron, Texas imported from us in the yintr - referred to, to the value of $120,184. Now, of • gnat iron, Pennsylvania produced, in 1840, 98,395 tens, being largely more than one-third of the amount oduced in tho whole Union ; and next came Ohio, , tK entucky , New York, Virginia , Tennessee, New Jer - . Amy, Massachusetts, and Maryand. Of bar-iron, the ... amount produced in Pennsylvania was 87,243 tons, being very nearly 0.. e-half of the whole produced in the Union; and next came New York, with 63,693 tons, .ser more than one-fgurth of the whole; and then Ten -.!'•-tiessee, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, ?Virginia, Kentucky, and Connecticut. As connected With her vast interests in iron, must be considered also ' Abe coal in Pennsylvania, not only ns an article of sale lama& but as consumed at home, in produeing her Wen; the Banshee of tons thus consumed in 1840, of her -- own mines, being 355,903 tons, or very near one-fou'Vth ; . of that 4.4 ' the whole Union. Coal andiron are scatter ed in juxtaposition, throughout nearly the whole of ...,• Pennsylvania; and, , as the markets for her iron are s i.aamgmenteri, in the same proportion will increase the consumption of the coal used in producing that iron. New. in 484 p. the amount of anthracite coal produced in the whole Union was 863,489 tons; of which Penn sylvania produced 859,686, or nearly the whole. Of bituminous coal, the total product of the Union was 27,603,191 bushels; of which Pennsylvania produced 11,620,654, or nearly one-half the whole. Let us ob serve here, also, the remarkable fact, that the three adjacent States of Delaware, New Jersey, and New 'York, produced no coal, either anthracite or bitumin ous; and the future interest of Pennsylvania, as con nected with that great article, becomes of transcend l era importance; and this, together with iron, and the 1. manufactures connected with them, is to determine the value of her public works, and fix her future destiny. [ Up to a certain point of destiny, an agricultural Slate, with a rich soil, advances most rapidly; but when all the lands are cleared and cultivated, this augmenta tion ceases. It is otherwise, however, with a State possessing, throughout nearly every portion, inexhnus tilde mines of coal and - iron, and wonderful adaptation , to manufactures. There, when the soil has been fully cultivated, the development of the mines and mane - factures, and the commerce and business connected ~. with them, only fairly begins. Agriculture is limited by the number of acres; but for the products of mines and manufactures, such as Pennsylvania has within - . her boundaries, there is no other limit than the mar kets she can command: and this is nut merely theory, but is demonstrated by the comparative progress of the various nations of the world. Look, then, as the . i . : great amount—certainly not leas than three hundred thousand dollars—of the products of the industry of Pennsylyania, consumed by Texas in her infancy, with a population less than two hundred thousand in 1839, and when those products were, to a considerable ex tent, &eluded by the then existing tariff of Texas, and , . without which she certainly would then have cousum = ed at least half a million of the products of the holes . try of Pennsylvania, had she been a state of the Union. ...", But in ten years succeeding the reannexation, nt tho .;•-• lowest rate of progress of population to the square mile of the other uew States, she would contain a po- pulation of two millions; and consequently consume five millions of the producis of the industry of Penn- I'. sylvania, or one-fifth of all the s urplus products of the ~.. retinae and manufactures of that great State, sold be yond Texas will be cotton and sugar, and besides the iron used in all agricultural implements, us well as in the . - manufactures consumed by an agricultural people, the use of iron in the cotton and sugar mills is very great . There ell the great iron apparatus and machinery con nected.with the cotton gin and press, and the iron 1;p13:‘ and kettles and grates and furnaces used in the ring of sugar, is greater than in any other employ mint. Together with this, is the steam engine, now -universally employed in making sugar, and being em ployed ~,..... also in the ginning of cotton; and the iron that •-• must be used by Texas, as she developes her resources, must lie great indeed; and the question depending on the reannexation, is, whether Texas shall become al • part of our home market. and whether England or Pennsylvania and other States, shall supply her wants ..... There is another fact which must lead to a vast con sumption of coal in Texas, and that is this: that from the hanks of Red river to the coast of the g ulf, except ing only the cross timbers, and some other points, I chiefly along her streams, Texas is almost exclusively' aprairie country; and yet. ( what is not very usual, ex --- oopt in northern Illinois, and some other portions of • tke Wen, )'the soil of the prairies is inexhaustibly fer tile. From these causes wood and fuel must be scarce ~; in Texas, and the coal of Pennsylvania and other ', States most find a market there of almost incalculable P R' • treble. I'Ve come next to the products of the forest: and [ ?, • here tho middle States stand first, and then the New England and the northwestern States.

The product of the fisheries. of the whole Union, in 1339, was $11,996,008, of Which Ne e - England produced $9,424 555, and the middle States $1,970,030. Of the products of these fisheries, Texas - already took, in 1839, to the value of 43,426, which. AS Texas has no fisheries, must be vastly augmented hereafter. By the treasury report of 1840, as exhibi ,:,.-- vain table N. 4, the number of vessels built that 1. - -... zwin the whole Union was 858; and here the New -...;-:, • . hind Sows stood first, and then the middle and '-iirl. !States; and Massachusetts was first, and l n 4liel '4 4 r !order, Blaine.

It was greater, also, than the whole aggregate number I of our vessels which cleared that year for Prance: Spain, Russia, Prussia,:Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgivial,and Scotland.cembined. The same dispro portion also exists as regards the crews, and also in the Arnericanvessels which entered the United States from Texas, and the crews employed. The same tables demonstrate that, of the foreign vessels which entered the United States from Texas, in 1839, eighteen 'My, of the 4,105, entered out ports from Texas; and six teen foreign 'vessels only cleared from the United States in that year for. Texas, out of 4,036; showing that our trade with Texas. in 1839, stood nearly upon the foot ingof our great coastwise trade, and was conducted al mostexelusivelyin American vessels. Having shown the large number of American crews concerned in the trade with Texas, and the great amount of wages they must have earned, let us now look at the states which made these profits. By the census of 1840,tbe whole number of persons employed in navigating the ocean war 56,021, of which number 45,154 were from New England, and 9,713 from the middle states. And here Massachusetts stood first, and then Maine. and next in their order, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Louisiana and New Jersey. In looking also, to the states which owned the tannage employed in this navigation, we find, by table No. 4, from the treasury report, that the New England States stood first, and then the inidicl:e States; and that the largest amount was owned by Massachu.etts, and next, is their order, by New York, Maine. Maryland, Peensyl mnia, Louisiana, Connecticut, and New Jersey. When we consider the products of the fisheries coo sumed, and that will be consumed by Texas, and the tonnage and crews employed in that trade : thc reen nexat ion must greatly augment our mercantile marine, and thus enable it to supply our navy, whenever ne cessary, with an adequate number of skilful, brave and hardy seamen, to defend, in war, our flag upon the sea. (CORCLUDZD TO-MORROW .) q[l)clp Illorning post THOMAS PHILLIPS, !EDITOR PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1844 FOR GOVERNOR, H. A. MUHLENBERG. MN CLAY AND THE COMPRONLISE.—In this part of the country the partizans of Mr Clay labor hard to convince the people that he is opposed to the princi ples of the Compromise, and that he would if elected, use his influence to procure the establishment of a Pro tective Tariff. Wo have shown from his own speeches and the journals of his party, that all such hopes are fallacious, and that Mr Clay is strongly opposed to any Tariff that would afford greater protection than was granted by the Compromise. In all his speeches and writings Mr Clay sticks to this law; it is the emboili , mont of all his tariff opieions, and on all occasions he puts it forward as his tariff creed. As be grows older his love for it appears to grow stronger. In a late speech at Milledgeville. Georgia, he gave a history of the origin and passage of thecompromise act. The fol lowing is the report of his speech given by the Federal Union—a whig paper--of that place: "The compromise act had been originated by him self, unaided by suggestion, unsupported by authority. He had first thought of it while in Philadelphia, on a visit to his sister. Hefiad a meeting of certain man ufacturers of that city—they approved the plan. He saw Mr Webster, and he disapproved of it—GENE RAL JACKSON DISAPPROVED of it, as did other high and powerful names. MR. CLAY URG ED IT FORWARD. as it was his custom to do with measures he approved. Mr Calhoun demanded a home valuation, but others and enough to destroy the msa sure with thatfeature, objected to it. Thus opposed, he demanded a reference of the whole subject to a committee from both Houses to be united This committee met, and was immediately startled by a question raised by Mr Randolph, " ho shall preside over this committee." Mr Clay settled the question in a moment, by moving that each committee should sit under its own officer, and that when each had agreed to the same report, it should 'be carried into each branch of Congress. Thus organized it was with dif ficulty a report could be carried, and the committee over whichle presided, arose to retire from the room. Mr Clay threw himself into the door and said, "gentle men, you shall not go out of this door till you have act ed on this question—the Senate and House of Repre sentatives have referred it to us and it must be report ed back to them; this is your duty, and you have it to do." Thus brought to their seats, the report was agreed to and made to Congress. Mr Clay had been charg ed with arrogance and dictation as to the measures of the late Senate, but he repudiated, not debts, but dic tation to the Senate. If ever he had acted dictator it was on this occasion, and over this committee. The measure was now prepared for the final action of Con gress. The opposition it had met with, made him tits pair of carrying it through; but. at the crisis, and when from its position, it was to be saved or lost. Mr Calhoun came forward and gave it his support. Thus it was saved, and thus perhaps, evils which then mena ced the country averted. General Jackson's assent to the compromise act teas not gained railhead difficul ty. It was urged on him by hisznostinfiueutial friends, amongst them the lamented Judge White, then a Sen ator from Tennessee. They used argument, persua sion, and even threats before they were successful." This is Mr Clay's latest declarations upon the com promise bill—we have its full history here from hint. self, and we presume he tells the truth in regard to the means used to effect its passage. According to himself he was the principal man in fastening this measure on the country, and ho not only used force in the oommit tee to induce his colleagues to agree to the report, but even threats were used to induce Gen. Jackson to give it his sanction. This speech is paraded by the southern whige as an evidence of Mr Clay's anti-tariff principles, and taken in connexion with his other declarations they feel con fident that in him the nullifiers of the south would find a man after their own hearts. If among Mr Clay's partizans there is one sincere friend to a Tariff, we ask them if the language of the above extract is such ai:taight be expected from en advocate of protective principles? It is not, but en the contrary, is a vain boast of the efforts of the speaker to destroy tho protective policy and to establish a system that would be acceptable to the free trade nullifiers of the south. 'Tat: POST AS A NEWS-raeen.—A very important event occurred recently—a general election in a neigh boring state, and one exciting much interest, the result of which we gave to our leaders on Friday last, having promised it the day previous. We gave further and fuller accounts on Saturday, yet the editors of the Post gave to their readers not one word of it until the Mon day follow ing,aud thenbut abare and beggarly account.' The above is, of course, from the American, as no other paper in the city would tell such a barefaced lie.

We have no iloul t tho editor of the American was snoring in bed at the time our carriers were distributing the news ruundthe city.

It contains the following specific appropriation for the next year, commencing June 1. 1844. and ending June 1, 1845: Expenses of Government, $275,000 Pensions and Gratuities, 46,000 "Common School purposes 200,000 House of Refuge 5,000 Institution for the Blind 8,000 Deaf and Dumb Asylum 11,000 tOrdinary repairs of Canals and Railroads 147,160 Roads and Bridges 34,000 Canal Board, clerks, contingencies, &c.

That in all ca ses when the amount of interest claimed is less than $2O, the same shall be paid in money at the Treasury, if the original certificate was issued prior to February 1, 1844. To this latter purpose the sum of $19,000 is appropriated. The act repeals the appropriation bill of September 29th last, from and after the first day of June next, prohibits the payment of any sum not specifically em braced in this bill, and provides, also, that in case the sum appropriated for any one object be found to exceed the expense specifically contemplated thereby,the same shall not be applied to any otker purpose whatever, but shall remain in the Tteasury subject to future le- gisletion. The bill was to have been made the order of the day for Saturday THIC Co - r - rox FavLa Aoetx.—During the last two daysoisys a New York paper the speculation in cotton has started with great vigor in this latitude—sales nearly 800 bales in twoclays-4 cent advance.

THE OHIO PHALANX Mr : Phillips Lisa Friday in company with a few persona from ibis city, I started out on a short visit to the OHIO PH ALAN x, at Pultney, ( late Schrive r's farm, Belmont County, Ohio, about six or seven miles below Wheeling.) The Domain contains about 2100 acres, of excellent land, capable of the highest improvement, and beau tifully diversified by meadows, vales, and gradually swelling hills: Ido not think the location is exceeded i n na tural advantages, beauty and salubrity by any place upon the whole river. Forty-two persons are at present upon the domain,and more than double that number are expected to join them in the Summer. 36 of the number at present on the Domain, are men, all of them in the vigor of manhood, and indicating both by their discourse and personal manners and expression traits of high moral character. Among them all, I did, not see a single one having the slightest appearance of dissipation.— They were all pleased with their location, and deeply engaged in hear t in the great cause, in the moventen t of which they are the pioneers. Their success, I look upon, as no longer doubtful. These men have the right hands, and hearts and heads for the enterprise; and their success will be a blessing not only to them selves but to Humanity. Thu Rev. Mr Stuart, formerly I think of Westfield, Ohio. is on the Domain, and is a member, and a most worthy man he is,—intelligent, deeply pious, and' ami able I was much pleased with his discourse on Sunday; his congregation was composed not only of the members of the Phalanx, but of numbers from the country around. Such sermons as he deliversal, are calculated truly, to extend a knowledge of Christ, and of real practical christianity. He was followed by Mr. Van Amringe, who delivered a short and very appro priateaddress, which was highly spoken of by the As sociationists present. The buildings at present on the premises are not large enough fur the numbers who have joined the As sociation; and hence all the members cannot at once remove to the Domain. But thepersons now on the ground are erecting temporary edifices; and in the mean time preparations are being made, to erect a permanent and large dwelling. _ This is a highly important mevemenufor it is the first aetual settlement of the kind that 1 know of in the West; and will no doubtbe a memorable event in the chain of great social developments and changes, which are fast hastening upon mankind. April 9, 1844. Mexico— Texan Prisoners.—We yesterday had an interview with two of the Meer prisoners, who have recently been liberated from their captivity in Mexico through the intervention of Mr. Bankhead, the now British Minister. The gentlemen liberated are Major T. W. Murray and Mr. Donald Smith.— They reached this city last evening , by the schooner John Barr, just arrived from Vera Cruz. When they left the latter city it was reported aad generally believed that all the San Antonio prisoners kad been released, or soon would bet and in some quarters sanguine expectations were entertained that all the Texan prisoners now in Mexico would soon be set at large.

By the arrival at this port yesterday of the barque Latrobe, Capt Jobn E. Allen, from the west coast of Africa, in thirty days passage to the capes, we have late intelligence from that quarter, with a file of the Liberia Herald. American commerce, as we learn, has received a progressive impulse from the presence of the squadron in that quarter. Commodore Perry, his officers and men were enjoying good health. No sickness prevail ed on the coast except the small pox, which appeared among the liberated Africans at Sierra Leon. The crews of the traders, the Elizatbeth and the Oriental, suffered from fever whilst at the Portuguese island Biasso, in January. Seven Catholic Missionaries, ac companied by three lay brothers, from France, arrived in November last, at Cape Palmas, in the colony of Maryland in Liberia. They are of an order called "Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Mary for Evan— gelizing the Negro Nations." The Rt. Rev. Bishop Barron, form , !rly of Philadelphia, her returned to de vote his life and fortune to the same benevolent enter prise in that part of Africa. Difficulties existed be tween the colonial agent,his people and the native Afri cans, at Harper, and also between a town of the natives near Cavally and the Rev Mr Paine, a member of the Episcopal Mission. Complaints from the natives, it is understood, are to be carried before the M. State Col. Society. The benevolent interposition of Com modore Perry had mutual confidence and tran quility Visitation-.—On the night of the 24th of January, the brig Francis Lord, Capt. Joseph R Brown, of N Y, was fired into by H B M ship (Alert, on the West coast of Africa. At a quarter past seven o'clock P M, Captain Brown discovered a sail on his starboard bow, wind W S W. When first seen, she was al most with ' in hail. Captain B. showed a light, and hailed, in quiring if that were the Atalanta, Capt. Lawlin,whom he was anxious to •meet. The Alert hailed, and whilst hailing fired. Captain B. hailed a second time, and whilst in the act was answered by a musket ball,which passed through his treisail, ahoy, him, and ever the heads of his passengers! Having a light still hoisted, Captain 15. immediately hove aback, and waited some time before the Alert hove about and came under his lee, when an officer announced he would send a boat and come on board, which he did with some difficulty —the mate informing him that a rope at least should have been cast to him had he not fired that shot. Capt. B.'s firm and gentlemanly inquiry of the reason of such treatment, embarrassed the Lieutenant, who offered some explanation, tu miring Captain B. that the com mander of the Alert would make any apology neces sary. After writing on Capt. Brown's papers:— "Boarded by H. B. M. Ship Alert," adding date and signature—and leaving, a voice hailed from the Alert, The Captain is very sot ry far what has happened— was without his knowledge—he should make an in qulrv. This apology may, perhaps be satisfactory; and the Alert, it is presumed, may become rather more alert than she was a few weeks previously, when, mistaking a U. S Frigate for a slaver, and skewing American colors, most unfortunately, a gun from the Macedonia notified her to heave to, and upon her neglecting or re fusing so to de, was followed by a shot from the frigate, which of course woke up the John Bull of the Alert, who lost no time in hauling down his false stars. We have obtained the above information from the Rev. John Kelly, who, with Limit. George 1.. Seldon, IL S. N., came out passengers in the Latrobe. Mr K. was an eye witness of the Alert affair; and during the difficulties at Cape Palmas. we learn that Commo dore Perry called on him, and asked his co-operation towards peace, which was given effectually. The na tives believed M r K., who assured them that the wrongs they apprehended and felt would not be sanctioned at Baltimore, nor by Commodore Perry. DANGEROUS LEGISLATION The reporter of the National intalligencer says, "ft is to be noted, that all the bills mentioned were read a third time and passed in the absence of a quorum; or tny thing approaching to a quorum; and that the two bills last named ,were laid aside for the reason that there was no constitutional house present to act upon them."
