Ng (MHO: QU E/IT lON appears to be lost
-sight of in the more important , matter of the Presiden
. tial contest. The whips appear disposed to drop Gen
Markle quietly, as they have certainly been able to see
`by this-time, what a farce it is to urge a man who is to

Gazette an immoral and profane man.
kis very heartless of them to treat Gen Markle in
• this manner. If we are rightly informed. the old gen
tleman did not seek the nomination; he was aware of
iris wantof qualification, and it-was with the greates t
reluctance that he permitted the schemers to bring him
out for an office which he knew he could not fill. The
- politicians of his party, however, cared and thought
little as to his qualifications, nor indeed did they desire
alma competent man should be selected; such an one
might control their power in the ndministration of af
fairs,;knd they cunningly resolve(' to select a man who
would have entirely to depend upon their aid ancl coun
sel. They wanted to exercise the same control over
`him that they exerted oser Ritner, when the Execu
tive of this great state was but a nose of wax, that was
moulded anti shaped to the purposes oldie corrupt men
mho mis-governed and plundered the state.
• The people now understand the object of those who
procured the nominetion of Mr. 114•RIELE, and they
will thwart their cunning schemes. They will have
no more incompetent men in the Gubernatorial Chair,
who will have to depend for instructi ons on th e poti
iiciana who established that stupendous fraud on the
public, the U. S. Bank. Honesty and competency
'ore what they desire and what the affairs of unr state
'imperatively call for at the present time. The •bold
est of the coons caunot say that these qualities can be
.fuend in their candidate, nor will any of them have
the impatience to assert that he would be able to at
tend to the most simple effigies of the office. On the
ot4et . hand, H. A. NIUIIt.ENBERG, the democratic can
didate is eminently qualified. lie a statesman in
-the mast exalted meaning of the term; his natural tal
ents, improved by education and long experience in
-public affairs, aro sure guarantees to his fellow citi
sena that the duties of the office will bu ably discharg
,ed, and his unsullied integrity, moral and political,
bag disarmed even the malignity of bis opponents.
With such a man before them it is fallacy to suppose
.that the people would think of committing the im
portant duties of the executive to inexperienced and
incompetent hnnds. The Whigs begin to feel this
truth in its full force. and their actions already indi
caw that they have no hope for their Governor.
THE TARIFF.—Tho Tariff which JOHN Q. ADA 3.13,
Worm of Kentucky, and other leading friends of Mr
Clay attempted to kill when it was first adopted, and
was only saved by the vorfAs of democrats, has been
again preserved by the efforts of democratic members.
It is true, that a portion c f them wished to make
some modification in the existing law, but enough
-were in favor of it as it now stands to defeat any pro
position that might have a tendency to disturb it.
..This circumstance will be very displeasing to Mr .
Clay. and those of his followers who know his real
-sentiments on the tariff question. He was opposed
to disturbing the provisions of the compromise act
and raising the question of protection, which he hoped
.11sadheep put to rest forever; he declared that his ef
-itirts bad been directed to a reduction of the Tariff,
and that our only object in levying duties should be for
revenue purposes only, diet there was "no necessity
of protection for protection." The man who enter
tains such sentiments would, doubtless, desire to see
tine present tariff destroyed. The editor of the Ga
zette says that Clay throttled a former tariff law, and,
judging from the strong opposition made to the pres
ent law by his leading friends when it was first adopt
ed, are would like to see it share the fate of the one
he destroyed

We believe shat when Mr Clay sea his heart upon
a project, he will pursue it as long as there is the
*Hence*. chance of success, and as he has declared
:himself to be in favor of reducing tariffs, we suppose
be will pursue the present law until he accomplishes his
purpose. If he should be elected he will no doubt
devote all his energy to throttling the present tariff as
he did the one for which the editor of the Gazette de
mioneed him.

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAYS.
The Paris Journal des Debats publishes an analysis
of the report of M Mallet, the celebrated engineer,
who was dent specially by the . French*Government to
study the system of atrnosPitetic.raihroads at. Dublin.
I and who statesthe advantages of that system to be: all
danger of accidents from fire is avoided, an almost
impassibility of the carriages running off the road, and
the utter impossibility of a collision between the two
trains. All the objections raised against the atmos
pheric system have been examined by M. Mallet, and
this distinguished mathematician asset ts that none of
them are insurmountable ; but one of the priucipal
advantages of this system consisted in its preventing
the necessity of levelling the soil according to the
present method. M. Meileet has likewise made II
comparative ovulation of the expense of the two sys
tems, and he demonstrates that the atmospheric plan
offers an economy of 140,000 f. a league, or £2,000
British per mile. M. Mallet concludes his repo bcommending the Government to make a trial of rt I

atmospheric system, which the Journal des Debate
believes will be carried into effect.

HE BALTIMORE PROCEEDINGS.
So far as the NVlngs of the United States are con
cerned, the presidential campaign for 1844 is opened.
They have chosen their men, decided upon the means
they are to use, and issued a manifesto of their present
principles. All that remains for them to do is to set
their instruments at work, and try to persuade the peo
ple in their favor.
In regard to their men, their measures and their
principles, we shall hereafter have much to say, and
therefore can only &awe at them at present.
The coupling of Mr. Frelinghuysen's name with
that of Mr. Clay, produces upon almost every mind
a feeling width is may like a sense of the ludicrous.
"Tell any one "says cotomporary, "that while Hen
ry Clay has been nominated for the Presidency, the
choice for the Vice Presidency has fallen upon Theo
dore Frelinghuysen, and he will be sore to smile, cun
ningly, knouringly, as if be were laughing in his sleeve
at a thought to which the curious "association gives
rise; and it must be admitted that it is an odd con
junction, this of the Anti-podeans, whose daily walk
and conversation are, as it were, upside down to each
other; though. if the finesse were not so ludicrously
evident, it would be what the world might call rather
a clever arrangement."
Mr. Frelinghuysen is known to be a man of extreme
religious opinions, while Mr. Clay's opinions and con
duct, if reports speak true, are any thing but religions.
The one uses the language of the church, and the oth
er of the card table. One is bold, impetuous and pro
fane; and the other cautious, quiet and pious. They
will serve as admirable foils to each other. The high
strung Calvinism of the Vice shielding the lax morality
of the Chief, and the dishing liberalism of the Chief
softening the stringent anti-Sunda- nnilism of theViee.
The means to which the Whigs intend to resort, in
urging these inen into °the-% lire the same as were
adopted iu 1340. We have indications of their de
signs, in the parades and jenketing s of Baltimore.—
They have begun the same detnoralizinga n d diip,rneo
fel system of popular excitement. True to their in
stinctive want of confidence in the rapacity of the peo
ple, they open their campaign with appeal- , to the
sense and imngination. Argument is to be left out of
the question; songs take the place of logic; fund ban
ners and emblems become the instruments of persua
sion. Whether they will again debauch the bodies
of the people, by copious ministrations of cider, and
their understanding by an equally plentiful outpouring
of falsehood, remains to be seen.—.N. Eve. Post.

GIGANTIC ORGAN.
Erbon, the great organ builder of New York, is now
engaged in the construction of an instrumentfor Trin
ity Church, in that city. The editor of the Journal of
Commerce has visited the work in progress, and gives
the following account of in
As yet it is little more than a skeleton, hut one of the
large wooden pipes is in working order, and we neard
it sing. It is between two and threefeet in diameter,
:about 25 feet high, and its internal measurement about
160 cubic feet. It gave forth a deeper-toned bass
than we ever before heard: and with a power of ut
terance which jarred the wholebuilding.
There is a still larger pipe in the process of construc
tion, the internal measurement of which will be about
250 cubic feet, its height 32 feet, and its diameter 36
inches by 30. The entire structure will be 53 feet
high, 27 wide, and 32 deep. Cost, 110,000. It is
well that the new Church is strongly built—otherwise
it might be inconveniently agitated by this powerful
instrument. It will be the largest organ in the ooun
try; and there are but few larger in Europe.

.GERTON AND MRS. EDWARDS.
Our readers will remember the assassination of Eg
erton, the Artist, and Mrs Edwards, a beautiful wo
man with whom he lived, near the city of Mexico,
some two years since. In our last news from Mexi
co, we stated that the murderers had been punished.
We have seen a gentleman direct from that city, who
informs us that there were four persons concerned in
the murder, and, contrary to the first impression, they
were all Mexicans, and their object was plunder. Of
the assassins, two were hung; another is imprisoned
for an unknown term of years in one of the dungeons
of the Acordada, and the fourth, who was to have been
banged, made hisescape.
It appears, from the confessions of the two men
who were execut,d, that they, with one who escaped,
started from the city with the intention of plundering
upon the highway the first victim chance might throw
in their hands. They were somewhat intoxicated,
and on their way fell in with the one who is impris
oned. He declined to accompany them, but they forced
him and gave him liquor to drink, saying they were
going to a fandango, and as he was a performer upon
the mandolin, an instrument which he had at the time,
he could not be excused. These circumstances, of
course, tended to mitigate his punishment. The par
ty thus bent on mischief, went outtoTacubaya, where,

STKRKETT, Chairman, reported a bill which was adort
ed.
I The Committee previously appointed for the pur
-1 pose,submitted the following preamble arid resolutions,
which, after being read, were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS. We, the Journeymen Printers of the
cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, being fully impress
ed with the belief, that, whenever an operative, by in
dustry and the strictest economy, cannot realize more
from the proceeds of his avocation, than what isbarely
sufficient to sustain the absolute wants of nature, he is
not compensated for his labor. A trade ought to af
ford the operative a remuneration for the years given
to acquire a knowledge of it, as well as a support in
the meantime; and, when it fails to do this, his labor
does not receive sufficient reward. And we believe
the pr'ces given to the Journeymen Printers of the cit
ies of Pittsburgh and Allegheny will fall below this
criterion, and will not afford a bare subsistence:—
Therefore,
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of the Jour
neymen Printers of the cities of Pit sburgh and Alleghe
ny to maintain their rights by petitioning the Master
Printers for an advance on the prices now paid for
composition.
Resolved, That the journeymen printers of the cities
of Pittsburgh and Allegheny do consider composition
at twenty cents per 1000 ems, insufficient remunera
tion; and that it should be raised to the prices specified
in the bill now before this meeting.
Resolved, That should the muster printers refuse
to accede to the bill of prices adopted by this meeting,
we feel called open, in duty to ourselves. as well as to
maintain the honor and dignity of the craft, to decline
working longer at the present prices
Resolved, That, as, to our certain knowledge, the
prices paid for printing in this city fall fur below those
of any other city in the United States where the same
amount of printing is executed, we, as nn act of justice
to ourselves, demand the advance set forth in the hill.
Resolved, Thot we entertain too high an opinion
of the journeymon printers to believe that they can he
induced by misrepresentation s which may be made to
them. to come from distant places to cur city for em
ployment at this crisis.
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed
to wai: upon the master printers for the purpose of
informing them of our proceedings and requesting
their signatures to our bill of prices.
A committee of three wits then appointed to wait
upon the master printers 'for the purpose of informing
them of our proceedings, and requesting their signa
tures to the bill of prices.'
On motion, Rssotved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the daily papers of this city.
Tha meeting then adjourned to meet at the same
place, on Saturday evening next, at 7& o'cleck.
