Cl;e Daily Morning t:lost. THOMAS rimurs, EDITOR PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1841 FOR GOVERNOR, AJ\IUHLENBERG. . A. NATIVE AMERICAN PAPER.—We have received -t , ten Clark & Co., of Cincinnati, a prospectus for a now Native American raper which they propose to publish In that city. We cannot wish success to any inch project, as we believe that the certain tendency of all such publications is to destroy the peace of society and tocreate violence and discord among neighbors. -it - is false to suppose that there is any thing in the conduct of the adopted citizens to justify in the slight est manner, the odium and outrages that have been committed upon them by the reckless factions thathave assumed the name of "Native Americans," and who are urged on in their acts of violence by incendiary prints that purport to,be exponents of American prin oiples and American feelings. The following is an attract from an address issued by this party just pre ceding the Now York election, and it is a fair sample of, the style of reasoning adopted by the natives where. ressethey have attempted to organize a party:— I • FELLOW CITIZENS, •ND AMERICAN Rercettcstrs You are called upon at the coming election, to do your duty, your whole duty to your country, by voting the tree born American Republican ticket. In this ' - ward you are presented with men, who thank Gcd! have so polluted blood running through their veins —merrwho despise and fear not the foreign influence ef Shire-rest city. • Look at the hordes of Dutch and Irish thieves and vagabonds roaming about our streets picking up rags and bones, pilfering sugar and coffee Wong oar to and whatever our native citizens happen to leave in their way. Look at the English tad Scotch pickpockets and burglars crowding our pla nar of amusement, steambAct landines and - hotels.— Look at the Italian and F ch mountebanks roaming the streets of every city in the Union with their den- clog menkeys and organs, es an excuse for the per of rubbing us of our property the 'first favorable opportunity. -Look at the wandering Jews crowding I - our business streets with their shops as receptacles for etellookord s , encouraging thieves and dishonesty among or* citizens. Look at the Irish and Dutch grocers and runbelters, monopolizing the business which pro perly belongs to our native and true born citizens—. - (this monopoly mast be taken from them)—in a word look at the audacious interference of all these foreign eta at ear elections! ! Can this be borne any longerl We see NO! ! ! -Fellow Citizens! This eatalogsre of foreign pes- Wiestee might be lengthened, but the time and space /will trot permit it—therefore we call upon you, not only on Americans, but as men, determined no longer to be ettled by an ignorant, bloated, and unprincipled rabble, Weenie out in your might and crush this curse to our beloved country. By order of the AMERICAN REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE. Is there an American who has that feeling of pride for our republican institutions that a trite native should feel, that will justify the slanderous and peace destroy ing sentiments urged in the above extract I Is it in cumbent on all who are of native birth, to denounce our friends and neighbors who happen to have been born in another clime, as "thieves and vagabonds," "pickpockets and burglars," and to mark them as ob jects of proscription, persecution and violence? No dna American could lend any countenance to such without first resolving to trample on the aaered provisions of the constitution, and to take to his friendship the ruthless rabble that delight in scones of -blood and pillage. No one, not even a foreigner, will deny the right of - those who call themselvei "native Americans." to as asunble and discuss the propriety of restricting the priv ilege of naturalization, but we doubt if any reasonable lad bonen man can say, that the spirit of the above address, is the proper one to bring to its discussion . Yet such are the arguments that have been used by the Mdf-styled "natives" in every place where they, have -attempted to organize a party, and as there are no anemd reasons for proscribing adopted citizens so long - et they comply with the laws of the country, unscru pAms abase and reckless assertions will continue to be the leading arguments of those who persecute them • IVltappears from the mourns of the Secretary of the 'State of New Yurk, embodying the special reports of • Osp superintendents of the county poor, that the Pm' 41cof twiar paupers in that State, from specific can '.4o4-$3,-19,631.; that the whole expense of paupers re.' lima by public charity is the State, in 1843, was $5,- 43:677 77; : and that intemperance and debauchery, -.which were the cause of pauperism of 7,093 of the . 11400iistambei, coat the people lastyear t 270,000.

Ling the submission that was due to the laws, they at ompted to take summary and fearful vengeance upon him, whom they regarded as the cause of their misfor tune. Johnson very prudently kept himself out of the way,and the multitude vented a portion of its rage upon Ms costly mansion and its magnificent furniture- The' excitement at length died away, and Reverdy came out in all his former splendour, and is now a worthy leader in. the Clay cause. He proposes that their conventions shall open with prayer, but he never thinks of offering up a petition for the welfare of the poor working people, weo were left penniless by the fail ure orate Bank in which he was interested. His world ly substance is as magnificent as ever; ho revels in af fluence, but we have never heard that the swindled community ever recovered a cent of what was taken from them. This was the substance and spirit of the article that the American calls "scurrilous and libellous." We would like that journal or any of the other organs, that think that rag money nabobs have a privilege to prey upon the hard working people with impunity, to con trovert one of the facts stated. Gas. ALCRICLZ at Hots.—The following extract front 'Westmoreland Argus, a democratic paper printed in Glen. Mantle's own county, shows that whiggery has nothing to hope fur from the "Star of the West." We have no doubt but the democratic major ity in 'Westmoreland will be larger this year than it has been on any former occasion. The utter unfitness of the federal nominee is personally known to most all the citizens of the county, and they are too patriotic to favor the project of placing at the head of our State Government a man who is incompetent to transact the most unimportant duties of the office, and who would be used by a band of speculating politicians to ad• vance their own schemes, regardless of r .he interests of the mass of the people. The Argus says: "It is quite gratifying to witness the unanimity and harmony that prevails in the ranks of the democratic party in every section of our commonwealth, in rela tion to the gubernatorial contest. Nor are demonstra tions of the increasing and growing popularity of our worthy and talented candidate, HIENKT A. MUHLKN burg, wanting, for in a majority of the counties public meetings have been held, and all with one accord unite in proclaiming a determination to use every honorable means to secure his triumphant election. This being the first week of our Court, we have had an opportunity of seeing and conversing with Demo. crate from all sections of our county, and by what we can learn of them we can assure our friends abroad that Westmoreland will no her duty nobly in this, the coming contest. And that although the Wh;g candi. date for Governor is a citizen of this county he and his friends have nothing to hope from this fact, because his principles are against those for which'her Democracy has battled long and ardently, and against which she will continue to battle. Westmoreland has in several instanc-e refused to cast her vote in favor of this same Gen. Joseph Markle, and we are perfectly satisfied that at the approaching election he will sustain at least as great if not a greater defeat than heretofore. Mark that INTELLIGENCE FROM PHILADELPHIA.

The Senate then passed upon several private bills, and went into the consideration of executive business. The remainder of the day was spent thereon. In the House today a number of reports were made from the standing committees, among which were several bills of a public and private nature. The House then resolved itself in a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr White, of Ken tucky, in the Chai and took up the bill to amend the several acts providing pansi one for the widows of rev olutionary officers and soldiers.

THE SQUATTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE. We make the following humorous extract from the debate on the pre-emption bill in 1833: Id &eat eiJastiaar 30, 1838. Mr CLAY of Kehtucky, said: "flow was it with that Nhite House, now sp amply I furnished—with that famous east room, and be little man who occupies so small apart of it? Stippose a pre-emptioner was to gothere and say, Mr President, this house is too large for you; I am an industrious cul tivator, one of the boneund-sinew men, and claim a pre-emption to part of this house. Would be not have as much right to squat down there as to squat down on the public lands? When and where were these encroachments to cease? Would thi. bill be the end of the system, or would they not be called un year after year until the best of the public domain passed from their possession?" Mr WALKER replied, and concluded, by saying: "The Senator from Kentucky (Mr Clay) has told, us that if this system of squatting is encouraged, some trespasser may squat, even in the White House, and claim a pre-emption fur it. This is not the first time ibis session the Senator from Kentucky has referred to the White House. It seems to haunt his imagination, until be has become fearful that some squatter will claim it b y pre-emption. Sir, said Mr Walker, I never knew of but ONE SQUATTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE, who could be truly called an intruder there; and that was one who was placed there in 1825, with the aid of the Senator from Kentucky, against the will of the peo p le.— Congressional Globe Appendix, Jan. 1838, page 142. Six years have rolled by since Mr. CLAY was so fearful that some "squatter" would 'squat down in the White House!" It now appears that he wants to squat there himself. Is he "a pre-emptioner"l We know he oncedec 'need himself to be in the line of safe pre cedents. but the people did not ratify the bargain then! Upon what does he found a claim of pre-,mp tier' to the White House? Is it upon his abuse of the real pre-emptioners? His vote to raise the price of their land? His vote to expel them from their im provements with Government troops? Or does he found it on his love for the old countrymen, whom he voted to exclude from the benefits of the pte-emption bill of 1838 ? We think these People will be apt to put their veto now on Mr. Clay's claim to pre-entplioa as the White House, as be did on their claims in 1838. They will be apt to consider him an "intruder" as much so as Mr. Adams was, whom Mr. Clay put in the White House in 1824.—/a. Sentinel. .flair occurred in the territory of the U. S.; that he did not exceed his authority; and that the confidence of the Government in him wus not misplaced.—lb.

Steamer Emerald Sstnk.—The Emerald left New- York as usual, on Sunday morning, at 7 o'clock. •At 42 o'clock, off West Point, the crank broke, and the boat directly floated upon the rocla, Slled, and in twenty minutes sunk in deep water. The few passen gers were taken off by boats from the shore, and landed safely, with a part of their baggage. The remainder of their baggage and the freight went down with the boat.—N. Y. Tribune.

Three Women Drotened.—We regret to learn thst a wad accident occurred upon the Ohio River, about forty miles above Smithland, and near the mouth of Tradewater, on the .sth inst., by which three women lost their lives. They were attempting to cross in a small boat; the river being quite rough at the time, the bat sprung a leak; when they found the water gaining upon them, fright paralysed their exertion, and they sank without an effott to save themselves. All the bodies have been recovered.—Smithlasi (Ky.) Bee. The great trotting match . yesterday on the Beacon Course, between Lady Suffolk, Ripton, Americus, Piza ro and Washington, two mile beats in harness, purse five hundreddollars, was won by the first named, in two heats out of three--Americus winning the odd heat. The time made by Lady Suffolk was 5: 17,5: 10. On Monday, Ajax was matched against Wittier; a Southern horse, for $2OOO, three mile bents under the saddle. Rattler was the favorite, but was distanced in the first heat by Ajax. • Time 8; 2, which consider ing that the course was fetlock deep with mod, is cer. tautly very rerr.arkable time.—N. Y. Republic. It may be remembered that Matthew Lyon, who was imprisoned under the old John Adams for oppo sing Federalism, declared after his release, that "who ever should live fifty years would find the federalists to be pretended admirers of Jefferson and Republican. ism." The prediction is fully verified. Nothing is more common than to bear the strongest federal whig declaring himself "a good democrat." lrj"The steamer Utica, on her downward passage from Albany on Wednesday night, when about six miles below Poughkeepsie, fell in with the steamer T. Salmond, having in tow the barges Clinton, Pough keepsie. and Berkshire, of Pelts. A schooner from Philadelphia for Albany, laden with coal, under a full press of sail, came in contact with the Clinton. The bowsprit of the schooner pierced the bow of OP barge, and when the Utica left, remained firmly imbedded in her. The upper works of the barge were torn away, the water casks staved, and considerable injury done to the Hull. Capt Hulse, of the Utica, rendered all the assistance in his power, and took off the passengers and brought theta to this city. The steamer, barges, and schooner were at anchor when the Utica left, but es it was blowing a gale at the time, serious difficulties in extricating the vessels were apprehended•—N, F. Republic. Bands Burnt.—Yesterday morning the Finance Committee of Municipality No. 1, assisted by Mr. Montegut, the Mayor, and others, burned $1,500.000 worth of municipality Bonds. These bonds were issu ed in 1838, by order of the First Municipality, and Dennis Prieur, Esq., was sent over to Europe to have them negotiated. In this, however,he did not succeed, and, the bonds being of no value they were ordered to be with.lrawn. Last Monday, on the advice of the present Mayor, they were ordered to be destroyed, and yesterday this order was carried into effect by throw ing them into the furnace of the steam-ferry boat of the First Municipality. There were over 3000 bonds of £lOO each destroyed in the above manner.—Pie. Imports of Specie.—Fmm a table in Hunt's Mer chant's Magazine, furnished from the Treasury De partment, it appears that the amount of specie impor ted into the United States in the year 1343, was $23- 742,633. Of this amount $17,254,470 wore in gold. and $6,032,076 in silver. This is greater by about 6.000,000 than the imports of any year since 1811.— The amount exported in 1843 was $3,118,399. RP The annual report of the Philadelphia Home Missionary Society read at the anniversary of the soci ety on Wednesday, states that during the year ending April 15th, 1844. 61 missionaries were employed by the Society; 93 congregations were aided; the additions to churches through its means numbered 563 souls, and 6000 children and youth were collected weekly and taught in Sabbath schools. The receipts during the year were $10,572 10, exceeding by $lOOO any sum collected in the same period in previous years. Be sides this, various and valuable donations of clothing have been sent for use of the missions. The society was organized in 1840, and had then in its employment 30 missionaries, whose labors were extended to 38 congregations. The first year it had fifty missionaries and aided 67 congregations; the second it bad 60 mis sionaries and aided 80 congregations; the third it had 61 missionaries and aided 86 congregations; the 4th it had 61 missionaries whose labors were extended to upwards of 90 congregations. The first year the re ceipts were $7,609 65; the second $8,923 26; the third $9,262 39; the fourth $10,572 01, Extraordinary Novelly.—We understand that Mr. Edward IVillmer (who is now in Boston) one of the proprietors of the European Times,' which was pub lished in Liverpool, especially for the American rea der, has since his arrival here, contracted with one of our Paper Manufacturers to make and ship to Liver pool Ame rican manufactured pa per,upon which Wilmer & Smith's European Times will be printed and for. warded to United States and Canada --Bost. Trans- The Tables Turned.—There was one universal shcut among the Whigs all over the country, during the last session of Congress, when John Quincy Adams assailed the Hon. Henry A. Wise. Said the fierce, malevolent old man: "he is dripping with the blood of Cilley!!!" Why is that the Whigs now cover their faces when the Cilley duel is mentioned? They have learned that Henry Clay was at the bottom of that duel; that Henry Clay penned the challenge; and that Henry Clay said after the murder had taken place, when rebuked for his part in it, nit is only a nine day's babble!!" 0:7 Mr. Clay is the only instance in the history of our country of a cabinet officer fighting a duel! Mr Clay is the only instance of a candidate for the Presidency being under bonds to keep the peace! Mr Clay is the only instance of a member of Con grss publishing a general challenge to fight! Mr Clay is the only instance of a member of Con gress voting against the wishes of his constituents in furtherance of a bargain by which he wes made Secre tary of State! Mr Clay is the only instance of a candidate for the Presidency running for that office after tivo defeats. (Perhaps it would not be improper to say four, for the people exiled him and Mr. Adams together. and his own friends rejected him in 1840. )—Pennsy/voitioe.
