THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1844 H. A. MUHLENBERG. 'EP% is adinitted by the rrieuds of Sir Denny that 'he publication of his letter of 1833. condemning the -coarse of Mr Clay on the Compromise Bill, was fatal to his pretensions to the Vice Presidential nomination. How keenly must our distinguished townsman feel in his present position. The opinion expressed in that --letter was re-affirmed by him in a public speech within 'the last two yeats, and all the embarras: meets of the country charged by him upon that law. At the meet of Clay Club in this city within the last three months, his friends defended him zealously on the ground that he was right and 1L• Clay wrong. and that, 'too, after Mr Wylie had given him notice that the re solution favoring his pretensions would be opposed for Shut reason, among others. His ambition overleaped Nis jtifigment, and he abandoned his opposition to the ,Coppromise, and united with Mr Clay's most ardent feint& in support of the policy and wisdom of that mea sure. -He sacrificed his high Tariff notions and his an -tintriOnic filet the whole political action of his put life, that he might improve his claims fur an of fice from the whigs. And yet, notwithstanding all these sacrifices, Mr Denny did not receive a single vote inthe Convention; his name was never mentioned; and the only honor he received was the privilege of making it few observationl, of a common-place character, at a meeting held after the nominations were made. Mr Denny's desertion of his old friends has been very - unfortunate when compared with the good luck of some -of the other apostates. Take the editorof the Gazette ~for instance; his treason to antimnsonry has Leen the 'making of him; and notwithstanding his former de nunciation of Clay and the Compromise, his following in the footsteps of Mr Denny. appears to have com mended him to the whig leaders us a worthy organ, while pursuing theaame course has destroyed the po litical hopes of Mr D., his distinguished exemplar. - 8110 TS FROM THE ADTANCC GUARD.—In the early part ofnil contests, %%here nothing but talking is dune, the coons have every thing their own way, but when it is necessary to perform a little service by way of pre paration for the grand struggle. the importance and power of the poor whiggies vanish like air-built cas tles. The late borough election in Uniontown is a case in point: On Friday the moil brought the news of the Federal nominations at Baltimore. On Saturday long and glowing account, of the connvention of ratification were received. On Sunday (according to the exam ple set by Mr. Clay himself in his electioneering trav el's) the delegates returned from Baltimore, flushed with imaginary triumph. On Monday (May 6) fol lowed the election fir borough officers. The coons had jielected as their candidate for Chief Burgess the President of the Uniontown Clay Club. withal a clever and popular citizen. Uniontown being a strong hold of whiggurr, and having at the last Presidential election given 90 majority for Harrison, they expect ed to achieve+ an easy victory. But mark the result: Buserss,—John H Deford (dem ) 131 • - William Bailey (whig) 113 Democratic majority 18 'Democratic gain 108. This is an auspicious open ing of the campaign in Western Pennsylvania, which, we trust, will be followed up by curresp.snding zeal and activity. A GUN FROM THE NORTH! _ . An election for borough officers was also held in Sunbury, Northumberland county, on Monday, May 6. A comae:indent of the American states: "'l he whigs held a secret caucus and nominated u ticket with the intention of electing their candidates, and afterwards shouting long and loud, for "joseph markle." As soon as ties news of these proceedings came to the ears of the sturdy Democratic friends of Her at A. hfccrAtritano, they met, also, and formed a Muhlen .berg ticket, and the result has been a glorious triumph for the hitter." We append the test vote; BOK4lls.—Alexander Jordan (dem.) 94 John FI. Purdy (whig.) 74 Democratic, majority 20. At the recent special election for a member of Congress, Pollock (whig) re- Ateived DI majority. Democratic gain 38. D&MOCRATIC MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND ‘VESTERN B TAYLOR, Editor —We have received the fi rst (May) number of this Magazine, and have do Tired mite& pleasure from a hasty perusal of some of its leading articles. When Mr TAYLOR first proposed - the publication of this Periodical we noticed it, and -from some little knowledge of the abilities of the edi exia his comprehensive views of all political ques 'dons, we assured the public that it would be a Maga zine worthy of their most liberal patronage. The first astuhber is equal to the highest expectations of its Triends, and is a sufficient guarantee of the high posi tion which the Western Review will take among the mostdemerving of the monthly publications of the day.

Drag Stitt tiur city remains quiet, though guards are'still sta tioned at night aroud the Catholic Churches; the Voi uoteeni from a distance have all returned home, and the danger is supposed to be over for the present. The toeth of — the ineenaiary is extinguished. The mob is dispersed, the duty of the citizen soldier is dis charged, and the business of the Judge and Jury is now about to commence. The excellent charge of Judge Parsons, to :he Grand Jury, which you will see in all our paper s of telly was delivered on yesterday: it is worthy of republication in all the papers of our state. The rigkt of the people to hold public meet ings when. where, and in whit manner they please, is discussed and settled. His Honor declines that in the exercise of this mustitutional right., they may also be guilty of riot, according to the manner in which they hold such meeting: that they have no right to discuss subjects in such mode as is calculated to dis turb the public peace, and that if they should do so, they amenab eto the laws. The duty cf the Shots iff and other authorities is also clearly defined. After the delivery of the charge, Col. Jack', one of the lead. ers of the Native American part•, and a standing ap plicant fur office, to all parties, for the last ten years, sent a letter to the Foreman by way of counter charge and giving his own views at length. The letter wns sent by the Jury to the Court, who immediately des patched an officer for the valiant Colonel, rind ordered him to find bail in the sum of $5OO. The C )1. wished the whole subject indefinitely postponed, but as in default of bail, the Judge informed him a commitment should be made out, ho entered the required security to answer at the next term of Quarter Sessions to the charge of Embracery. The Cul. said. in one of his last public speeches that "ever since he had recom mended the formation of a Native Regiment to de fend us from foreign domination, he had been a marked man!" Ho will no doubt now find time to complete the organization of that corps, ns the Judgegave him to understand he would be stricken off. Ilow many offenders arc under arrest I know not, bnt hope justice will be meted out to all of them, both Irish and Native; but the most guilty I know will escape; those who fanned the flames, who for months have exhibited all the evil passions of men,who aTnyed one class sf men against another, who have continually urged on their followers to the outbreak which has desolated and disgraced our City, these are the guilty wretches who entirely escape, and daily prate of "Order, Law and Hem en." While at the most of the Ward meetings (for the restoration of traniviility) a comMendable zeal was exhibited, at others any thing but true courage was shown; a few incidents will suffice to show the pre vailing feeling. The enrolled pos-e of --th %%aril met at 8 o'clock on Thursday evening, after the burn ing of the various churches and dwellings, and when every ono looked for a continuance of the outrages of the previous night. The meeting was held in a large second story• room over an Engine house, which was but dimly lighted. The fat alderman whose fate it was to lend this band of heroes to the pus: of danger arose and in a fine tone of voice rend an order from sheriff M'Mlichat•l, on the Adjutant General "for arms and ammunition for the —th Ward." The reading of the order was scarcely finished before the alarm bells were sounded, the one over our hen ‘h making a horrid clatter—every fellow sprang to his feet, Nbto was the opportunity to do service—to sup- Fees the mob—to quell violence—in short, to distin guish ourselves for courage, coolness and decision . But far other ideas seemed to spring into motes minds: a rush for the door and windows wits made. Order! shouted some half dozen who remained firm in their seats. " Come back," cried the alderman• " I call upon all to keep the pence•!" Quiet Was at° leng th re stored, and a motion made "that n committee be forthwith despatched for the arms." Ileieopon a debate commenced, and discretion Ant miner pait of valor, was exhibited in nbundance! Why, said one orator, "as regards the use• of muskets against out fellow-citizens, that's a question the pro l iriii-ty of which has !,et to be decided I myself have con sei-I en-tions scruples, &c. &c. Here he was interrupted by a question from one who knew him welt: "Did you not formerly belong to a Volunteer Company?" "Ve , ," was the answer. "Where then were your conscien tious scruples?" Another orator had " a wile and children who needed protection. and he thought he had better go home to them." " Go," replied some one, "and creep under the bed when vnu get there." Another belonged to a Christian church. and was op posed to shedding blood.'' Another thought we would he more likely to shoot ourselves than the mob! A thousand excuses were framed by men who only a few hours before had "enlisted for the war," to serve "'Till dangers' troabled :light depart And the star of pence return." Suddenly a man entered breathless—he had news, 2000 Irish had attacked the Arsenal nt Brideshurg -5 miles distant—taken it, armed themselves 'and were returning to n'tack the city, breathing nut vengeance and slaughter." At this kart id news (and about as Iprobable as that the antedeluvians were upon us) ter ror sat upon every countenance! The first exclama tion was. "0, if they should make a rush upon us now in this dark room, what a fix we'd be in!" "Yes, said another, how would we get out of that narrow door? they would drill holes through us one at a time, as we passed out!" A few stones thrown upon the mil at this crisis, would have caused an evacuation through the windows, a la mode Penrose! • A few whispers only were heard until it was known the Irish were n it within gunshot, when the absurdity of the report wits exposed and served to raise rt general laugh at its crechilnas believers. • As regards these military guns, Mr Chairman, said one of the doubters, ?chat ki ,d nf guns are they?" "Pop guns, to be sure. you coward!" was the indignant answer of one willing to use them. An hour and a half having been spent in debate, and the alarm ceasing, being only caused by the firing of a stable, the committee was despatched fur the ' milita ' ry guns," and at 11 o'clock returned teithout them, to the very peat joy of a majority of the "Volunteer Po lice," now reduced by desertion from 100 to about 20. These finding that all was quiet and order restored, obeyed the advice of Mayor Scott, "fur all good citi zens not on duty to retnuin nt home!' So coded the greatest farce the writer ever witnessed. But the or ganization commenced that night is going on. "The Philadelphia City Guard for the suppression of 1 iots" is said to number about 1500 men; they are to be armed and uniformed. If each of the adjoining Districts follows this plait. but little danger need be apprehend ed in fu!nre. The Natives have by their leaders pub lished an address in which they throw the blame upon the Sheriff and other authorities—because they could not stop them! According to this mode of reasoning you may burn and destroy innocently. if the officers of the law do not interfere to prevent you, and then you may charge the whole t- , the weakness of the author ities ! The utility of words to a mob was fairly tried before St. Augustin's Church; Nfayor Soot addressed them as "American Citizens! Gentlemen," Sze: and received for his kindness a shower of stones and back bats. which dispersed his Posse, the only man wbn •tack to him, being the thief who stole his Pocket buok, when lie was prestrate in the street. Arms—yes, arms alone, wil! convince a ruffianly mob that they must cease from outrage. Reason may be employed between man and man, but for those who place themselves beyond the pale of society—on a level with the beasts—with tigers and hyenas—force, brute force, is the only argument. A resort to this in the incipient stage of our riots would have saved lives. and property of an incalculable worth. flow our Sheriff ever could dot bt the right—the duty, I say—to repel lance by force, is to me a wonder Without it our Government is not worth a fig—and would-deserve the scorn and contempt of Ow world for its imbecility. Now, after the mischief is done, the right is acknowledged by all, and the Proclamations of the authorities on every corner declare it in the most glaring capitals May the errors of the past serve as a beacon for the future, to light us onward in the way of duty, prosperity and peace Yours, truly, SLOOP SONE.—The Westchester (N. 'Y.), Herald states that, on Wednesday night last, a large sloop sunk by some means, with all sails set, about a mile from Tarrytown, retaining her upright position, and apparently in from twenty to thirty feet of water,a part of the sop of the mast and sail being above water. No tidings of the persons on board, or the name of the vessel, have yet been ascertained; and whether they all perished or were saved is a question undecided, so far as the people are informed. THE BLACK Cont—One hundred looks. and its Iron Collar.— Ile New Orleans Bee of the 7thinst. says:—Wallaok, tbe slave of Mr .Walker, 'was yester day brought beforeßeasrderßabiwin,to answer to the -charge of robbing the house of Mr Ralph Icing. hiCa tondekt street, and of Mr Hart, in Bacchus st., of a quantity of silver plate and clothing. Ho was tried under the Black Code by ajury consisting of his Hon or and two free holders, and found guilty upon both charge.. The jury sentenced him to receive fifty lash es on each case and to wear an iron collar for three months. A SLAVIC CA3E.—We learn from the Village Rec org, that a case was tried lust week before the county court at Westchester, Pa., which has excited consider able attention. Two citizens of Maryland came into the county and seized a black man, claiming him as a slave. The black man was released by his friends, and the Marylanders arrested and bound over to answer for kidnapping. The grand inquest ignored the hill, upon the ground. it is supposed, that the defendants had a constitutional right to seize their slave, and take him before a magistrate a ithout a warrant from a peace officer. VICKSBURGHSENTINYL.-Ou: readers will recollect that two of the editors of this paper have been killed. The third stands a very fair chance to share the same fate; as he possesses a nisposition very similar to his predecessors. The Picayune states that a day or two after the duel between Robins and Downes, Dr Mac lin, who acted as the friend of Mr Downes, called up on Walter Hickey, Esq. the editor of the Sentinel, for an explanation in relation to some remarks made by him about the duel. As we have learned the story, it would seem that the explanation was not altogether satisfactory to Dr M., who collared his opponent and commenced shaking him. Mr H., who was pushed into an alley way, drew a revolving pistol and fired two shots at Dr M., one of which gave him a severe wcond in the breast—one account says a mortal wound. The I,nui4viile Dime states that Dr Macklin died on the eveidng of the Bth. We beg leave to call the attention of our readers to Dr W w's lecture on Botany this evening. DI Whidaw has travelled as a Botanist all over the U States audits* delivered lectures on the spbject , i I I us tra t rig it by transparent. paintings. underthe auspices of Mr .Matlison, our former. President. and De Witt Clinton, governor of the State of New York, to the largest classes - ever formed in the country. The latter gentlemen declared-before the St Andrew's kociety of New York, that more benefit had accrued td Agricul ture and Horticulture from these lectures than from any ever before delivered in the United States. Mr :Madison said that UrNVhitlaw should obtain theyonth of the corintry an much as possible as his pupils, for it was no use to lecture to those whose customs and hab its were established. That by so doing the youth would put Dr W's principles into practice and thereby he would prove a great benefactor to the country.— Mr Madison gave Dr Whitlow letters of introduction to every frontier state from Charleston to Boston. and if ever there was a period when such information was wanting it is now, as the farmers are wearing out their lands by excessive cropping, want of proper cultiva tion and manuring, producing fearful diseases among the stock as well as inhabitants. IM PORT ANT FROM WA H INGTON.—The National in telligencer of Thursday last contains the fullowilig: "PMITSCRIPr.—Late last evening, after an Execu tive se•odon of 4everal hours, the Senate removed the injunction of sectesy from the Treaty awl Documents accompanying it, for the annexation of Texan We have not, of course, had any opportunity of examining these paper., but we lento orally that by a coin muni eaii,,n from the Pre,id..nt yesterday, the Senate wan informed that he had ordered it military force to repair to the frontier of Texas, to open a communication with the Pre.ident of that Republic and uct as circumstan ces might require; and hail also ordered a naval force to Vera Cruz, to remain off that port, and prevent any naval expedition of Mexice, if any such should-be at tempted, fium proceeding against Texas!

PHILADELPHIA, Frilay, A. M The volunteers have been withdrawn from all the Catholic Churches, and every thing remains id a per fect state of quietude. The grand jury ans engaged in investigating thepauses and progress of the riots, and they have before them the charge of Judge Par sons, defining the rights of citizens, and showing what constitutes, in those affairs, a wrong. Yesterday being the feast of the Ascension of the Catholic Church, all the churches of that denomina tion were opened, and public worship was resumed in all the churches, except St. Paul's and Si. Philip's. Charles Leland, the young man who had a hearing her, e Mnvor Scott, a kw days since, had another hearing yesterday, when he was finally bound over ai a witness. He is 'believed to be able to identity the per son who set fire to St. Augustine's Church. Officer McCalvey, of Kensington, yesterday arrest ed John Cuiry, charged with participating in the lute riots. He was committed by Alderman IVeyant, in defilult of bail in the slim of WOO. He is charged with having fired a gun three times. Two voting men, brothers, named John and William McClary, were arrested yesterday afteinoon, and committed by the Recorder, in default of $3OOO, who are chargeti with having fired the Seminary on Second street One of them confessed tint he was in the building at the time it was on fire, and took away a piece of the stair rail ing which he has rreserved. They were arrested by of I iemphill. Col. Jack states that there was nothing in his com munication up •n the law, or desiring the Grand Jury to (14 any thing but hderpose their peceablo recom mendation to get Gen. Patterson to withdraw his order in part of Tuesday, which communication was sent to the Grand Jury nn Tuesday. and not subsequent to the charge of Judge Persons to that body. ' In the Conn of Quarter Sessions, yesterday, Jana Foster was convicted of bigamy, but recommended to the mercy of the Court. It appears that the accused was married in the State of New Jersey about four leer years ag:,: in 13-10 her husband left New York for Galveston, in about eighteen months after she mar ried a man named Hand, under the belief that her husband. Foster, was dead. Foster returned to this city, and finding his wife married to another, com menced this prosecut'on. Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a man named Wtllinm Traylor& residing in Short Court. attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself in the stomach with a pair of scissors, while laboring under mental derangement. He was subsequently conveyed to the Insane Hospital, over Schuylkill. From Havana and Jamaica.—By a slip from the office of the Charleston Courier, we have dates from Havana to the 7th inst., and from Jamaica to the 30th tilt., received by the schooner Orbit Copt Gillman. The repurt of the blockade, by the English, of the port of San Juan Nicareuga is confirmed. Capt Gillman states that he understood from the American consul at Havana, Mr Campbel, that the American consul at Kingston, Jam., had been mur dorrd by the blacks. The Kingston Journal of the 30th makes no mention of the circumstance, although it w•as reported to have been committed on the 28th April. The U. S. ship Vincennes, Corn. Buchanan, sailed from Havana on the sth inst., on a cruise, and the U S Wig Somers, Lieut. Brent, on the ith. Vesssis from Hayti, loaded with refugees, continued to arrive at Jamaica. Their accounts were so vague and contradictory that nothing satisfactory could be ascertained relative to the state of affairs in Hayti.— Baltimore Sun. RIOTS.= is BOSTOX.—We leas theta gang of men lon Sundriy evening passed throrigh Ann st. shutting the stereotyped cry of the Onuigemen u(heland, h--1 with the Pope!' occasicsiallrinoppth' g dppliag plates and drinking Orange toasts.. This was evident- , ly an attempt to excite ill feelingatnong the Irish pup. elation in that section of the city, and .proveke distrir bance. It was ineffectual, however, as the Irish bad the good sense and forbearance to disregard these in sults, and we trust they will maintain the same peace able bearing, if these attempts are repeated. [Bay State Democrat. Houses Gaszt.r.—We really cannot withhold an expression of our admiration at the course pursued by this gentleman in relation to the Philadelphia riots and the Common School question. Despite the de nunciation and threats of bigots; regardless of interest and expediency, he has manfully stood up for the tight, and his voice has been raised for the recognition of Equal Rights, political and religious, to all. He suc cumbs to no vile prejudice, nor will he suffer the Truth to be stifled, even though it may injure another cause he has much at heart. CROPS IN OUACHITA The c3itor of the Courier, published at Monroe, in this State, has recently learned from numerous plan ters in that region that an unusual multitude of worms of various kinds are daily destroying the fair prospects of the farmer. Coru and Cotton, the strong hop—s of the country, are disappearing with en almost magical celerity. The cut-worm destrnys the young cotton, while the bud-worm and another species of caterpilllar, closely resembling the army worm, both in habits and appearance, scarce leave a vestige of vegetation in what were but lately luxuriant fields of corn. The very grass and weeds are equally the objects of destmc- Lion. It was greatly feared that should the present cloudy weather continue much longer, no fair stand of cotton will remain—seed being so scarce that suffici ent is not to be had in the country for a re-planting.— Picayune.
