On Tuesday evening Ina, the Denim:l-mA of Allegiie 'ry county assemblPd in mass meeting to resporuLto the nominttions ofthe Balt i More Cont:ent ion. Aft cr the season of doubt, uncertainty and occasional despond ency through which we bare passed, it was most cheer ful and refreshing to see the crowds of Runt, who were at the place of meeting eager to giveinthrir adhesion to, and record their hearty confirmation of, the decision of the great council at Baltimore. It was no empty, formal, matter.ol-course piece of business they wished to perform—it was , of mere party machinery which brought them tog,ethet—but every men seemed Buil:fluted with a generous. glowing zeal, an intrepid but cool; temperate, hut indomitable determination to sustain the glorhati principles of.Dsmocracy. The old pillars of the party, the men who fur forty years have Sustained with Unflinching energy its nominations and its measures, and those who have hot recently cut loose from the debasing influences of federalism, were alike fervent and enthusiastic. We shall not go into any details of the proceedings. They are given at length in another column—but mere ly note that Mr. SH sx preiid , d,ns.isted by the usual number of Vico Presidents and Secretaries, and that the sheeting was addressed by various speakers whose remerke, like every thing else about the whole uffair, were ell emphatically—good! • The whigs of this coy stand perfectly ngliast at this tinevected demonntration of Democratic onion, ener gy and enthusiasm. They fondly lay././1 that the pates abont.men, before the meeting of the Convention. trod the unusual warmth of di,: canyons for nomina li.nts iu that body, would scatter the needs Of disaff •c -lion deep and br,ud in the Demo/nal/it; vineyard. hey vainly imagined that by making fine (sties, and fran tic efforts to mi-lead and deceive the Democracy of this region on the Tara mention, they Sil• Oltd he able to draw off large detachments from the Democratic array, nod render those who might remain, apallvair and indifferent. So anxious were they to ascertain whether they had produced any effect on the mind, of the D'in7lCTiley,ll‘3t we are told I i nearly forgot to at tend the stated tn-eting of the Clay Club, and that the lights in their hall were exti.;gui-hed at anrarly hour You might see the poor e.i ran. pule ‘Nith excitement and mortification, stale wick oprui-ed ti .fzer , . at the corners; an the democr ei 7 pr ,, CO pas-ed through the streeta,countitz.ns wen, as their liverish neitanoft vrould pet mit. the throngs that pressed fora and ssith the joyons shout and confiders s;ep Irch could only be I hispired by the fcclne; of certain victory.

If by such devices they can manage to dispel the ter ror this glorious meeting of outs have inspired them with, why let them do their best. We know that we are too deeply gratified, ton in tensely plestied with the satisfactory issue of this meet ing to notice it as we should do—we will therefore re fer our Tenders to the regular history of the proceed. in r ,, for a more perfect repot t than we run give.

That Henry 'Clay is obnoxious to both these charges We have only to refer to the columns of the Pittsburgh Gazette for proof.

'who have no knowledge of the wants and people, and whose information of the county exttridi but little beyond the room of the Claiy Club. The Gazette, in its blind efforts to misrepresent• Mr. Polk's Tariff principles has unconsciously given Mr. Clay u sharp reprimand. . In attempting to prove Mr Polls to be >t Tree trade' man, it says• thu session of 1832-'33, Mr Poll: was a member of the coirmittee of Ways and Means, which reported a bill (which .did not pass) greatly reducing the duties below those adopted by the tariff act of the preceding Now what was Mr. Clay's conduct on the occasion referred to? By turning to his letter addressed to Mr Bronvin, which was published in the Gazette of the 20th of October, lad we find the following account of his actions on the Tariff question. after my return to Congress in 1831, my efforts were idirected to the modification and reduction of the rates of duty contained in the act of 1828. "The act of 1832 greatly reduc rd and modified them; and the act of 1833,commonly called the compromise act, still further reduced and modified them. The act which passed at the Extra Session of 1811, which. I supported, Wild confined to the free article. I had le signed my seat in the Senate when the act of 1842 passed. Generally, the duties which it imposes ate lower than those in the act of 1832." Here is Mr Chy's own confo,i,ion thathe supported the very saute acts fur which the Gazetul denounces Mr Polk. What a reckless mendlcity is evinced iu the conduct or the w big organs on this subject. While they applaud Clay fur his efforts in 1832-33, to re duce the Twill' they charge Mr Polk with the same condom and denounce him as free trade man! We could laugh at such bungling inconaistency;were we not shocked at the spirit of malignant falsehood that engendered it Tux CHoCTAWs.— It is rumored that the large can tract for removing the Choctaw Indians to the west of the Mississippi, is to be given out quietly, without ad vertising, for proposals, or inviting bids in any general way. We take this occasion to express our opinion that these rumors are uri6mutled, and that so imlior- I alit an item of public Fervice B ill riot be allotted to contractor?. in II private or surreptitious manlier. There are, no doubt, all over the country,, men who would be glad to become bidders for this large contract, and in:- iiee to them. as well as public economy. and a Strict regard to the character of the government, demands th a t this service should be given out with at least as ouch pu'iliehy as the contract f..:r supplying the de- Liniments with pens. ink and paper.

Every thing should be stated in the policy to make it binding. It appears that Alison, un receiving his policy, promised verbally that be would discontinue the use of a certain fire-place, and use a stove in the place thereof, which he omitted to do; and the consequeuce was, the build ing was burraup. The Court were of opinion that the omission of the plaintiff corstituted no defence of the insn - runce company, us they should have had his Promise expressed in the policy. 11ffl, k fro h c Tom's.—EF Graves„Ea who shot ci try in tue duel iastigat. a, as it is n,teged by Mr. Clay to [risen, is attinipiug it on behalf of the NV tug nontincce fur the Presidency and Vice Prexidency.--- The ftiends of the latter must feel particularly honored by the association. POLK, DALLAS, 4LNIC) -GEF.N.T DEMOCRATIC MEETING. l'ursuant to public tinuce a meeting of the demo cracy of the county was held et Broadhurst's Mansion House, on Tuesday evening. It was the most immense gathering of the people that has taken place in Pius burgh for many years, and throughout the whole pro ceedings the greatest harmony and good feeling pre- Iveiled. When the hour arrived , the meeting, on motion of H. S. MAGI/kw, Esq., WES organized by the appoint at of the following officers : President, Vice Presidents, Secrotarios, T1.10)1AS Putwrs, DANIEL W ...RT.!, WM. WET-RUT, CHAaLCS BARNETT, M. Karig, Jr. MrShunk, after thanking the meeting for the honor they had bestowed upon him, by making him their President; and congratulating the meeting upon the happy auspices upon which they hud assembled, re marked: That the friends of republican government had watched with intense anxiety, the gradual develnpe ment of political movements in the union, and had rea son some short time ago, to entertain fears of the suc cess of democratic principles. A cloud seemed to hang upon the destiny of the party—doubts and mis givings; prevailed in various quarters—united in meas ures, there appeared a difficulty in uniting upon men. At the meeting of the Baltimore convention, these diffi culties seemed to multiply. The hopes and fears which were produced by the early deliberations of that body was quickly spread over the union, arid impaired the confidence of many. But these clouds and diffi culties have now happily passed away. The Demo cratic convention at Baltimore has been singularly happy in the selection of candidates fur their party for President and Vice President. While they selected men equal to any in talents and respectability, they so performed their duty as not to offend any of those whose high claims were postponed. - They have pre sented to us Col Polk of Tennessee fur President, a man whose whole life has been devoted to the mainte nance and defence of democre tic principles; as Gover nor of Tennessee, asa member of Congress and Speak er of the House of Representatives of tlin U. S., he is di,r t i n ginshed for his talents, his industry and his decis ion. In every department of life, public and private, he has evinced such moral courage and firmness, and inch devotion to the equal rights of the people. and such honesty of plirpose,as preseutsthe strongest claims to public confidence and surport. Gen M Dallas, the candidate for the Vice Presiden cy is the man of our own state. His eloquence, his talents, his political integrity and his private worth, ate known to us all. As a Senator of the US. and as a foreign minister, he has displayed the value and extent of Iris acquirement, and most happily applied them in advancing the interests of the country, and iu sustain ing and defending our republican institutions. These are the men who have been presented for the support of the democracy of the Unison. We have met to respond to their nomination, and to ratify the choice that has been made. The immense multitude that has r.ssembled upon this interesting occasion shows the interest that is felt on the subject, and re echoes the joy and exultation time, is manifested throughout till parts of the union, as fast a s t he ne ws that Petit and Dallas are the candidates can be spread. By the selection of tiICRA candidates every tendency to distraction or want of unity in Ilia parry has been de stroyed. Those leading men, who had ranged them selves around their respective favorites for the presi dency, in rid, mice of the great body of the party, me w tti their tavorit es restored to the line in the rinks, and fiowev er reluctant they may have been to yield their tit st choice, they are with one accord united in the hearty and unanimous support of the candidares nominated 11 ith tire great paineiples of the_ democratic party, equal rights its the object of our party, and with such men 114 Polk arid Dallas as our candidates, the Dentin cratsof the Union must and will triumph. After the President bad closed his remarks. on mo thin the following gentlemen were appointed a eorn• ntittee to report resulutions fur the adoption of the meeting: Committee on Resolutions.-Gen J K Moorhead Thomas Hamilton, Rubett Porter, E D Gazzam, It A Bauman, Samuel Snowden, Robert II Kerr, John W Irwin, S 11 Woodward. Ater being out for as short tune, the Committee re pot toil, through their Chairman, Gen. Moose ;AD, the following resolutions shich were unanimously adopted by the meeting. Wilk:to:es, It is a cardinal principle in the Demo crude creed, that mirtialities for men should be surren dered to promote the triumph of principles:—\C ti AS, The delegates to the recent Demociatic Conven tion at Baltimore, by burying all their differences and set ding unanimously upon JAMES K. POLK nod GEt RG I: M. DALLAS, us candidates fur President and Vice President. have furnish=d a noble illustration of this principle: and, waxn.x.as, we are confident that the Democracy of the Union will manifest a simi lar spirit of conciliation and patriotism, and unite heartily in support of these distinguished citizens,— t het efore, Resolved, That in JAMES K. POLK, we have a candidate of sterling abilities, of unquestioned probity and honor, of extensive experience in public affairs, and of inflexible democratic principles; and we take a peculiar pleasure in adding. thab,he is the friend and disciple of the Must% ions Jackson. Resolved, That the Keystone of the Democratic Arch, duly appreciates thu honor conferred upon her by the selection of one of her favorite and most dis tinguished sons for the office of Vice President; and that she will not fail to manifest her attachment to GEORGE M. DALLAS, and her gratitude to her sister States, at the ballot box in November next. Resolved, That we are cordially united in the sup port of our candidate for Govereur, Henry A. Mob lenberg—w hose purity of character, unquestioned abil ity, and sterling merit are a sure guarantee of his tri umphant election; and that we take pride in rallying around the standard of POLK, DA L LAS, and U - LEN B ERG. Resolved, That we are in favor of a Tariff which shall raise sufficient revenue for the expenses of Gov ernment and adapted by a jitilicious discrimination to the protection of such branches of domestic manufac tures, us a just regard foe national interests and home industry require to be cherished and sustained against the competition of foreign productions, in our own markets. Resolved, That whilst we rejoice in the unanimity of the Bt Itimore Convention, and heartily approve its choice, t: e several distinguished citizens whose names were unsuccessfully brought before it as candidates for nomination retain our undiminished respect anti con fidence. Resolved, That the insolent beastings and arro. gant pretensions of the Federal Whigs, have not dis couraged us; but we have an abiding confi.lence that in November next the Democracy of the Union will rise in its strength, triumphantly redeem its honor from thedefeat of eighteen hundred and forty; save the country from the pernicious influence of corrupt and ambitious rulers; and restore the Government into the hands of honest and patriotic men. Resolved, That with Polk, Dallas and Muhlen berg forum candidates, we confidently pledge Alle gheny county to contribute her full quota to our old fashioned Pennsylvania majority of twenty thousand Previous to reading the resolutions, Gen. MOOR. , tt EAD addressed the meeting Act a short speech setting forth the great harmony of the party, and the cheering signs of a glorious victory that are already visible in the political horizou. Spirited and soul stirring speeches were made by Burrell, Black, McCandless, Gatzam, and Hamilton. We are unable to notice their speeches in detail this morning, but we will endeavor to give sketches of them all to-morrow. Previous to the adjournment nt Brnadhnrsts, it was moved , w - eonded that a Committee to write an address ue aprinte& The following gentlemen were appointed: - Cent/nit/re en Address —John B.

After the appointment of the alarm Committees, a procession was formed which marched to the old , Court House, where the vast concourse was again ad dressed by Messrs. Strunk, Gazsam, Kerr and Ma graw, in strains of eloquence that called forth repeated bursts of applause from the audience. Signed by the officers of the meeting. SKETCH AT MR. X 9 CANDLESS ' II Rtid.RICS. Mr. M'Candless being loudly called for, appeared op the stand and was greeted by three hearty cheers from the immense multitude. He spoke with such power and rapidity, and we. were o much occupied with ob serving his manner and action, that we can give but a brief sketch of his speech. Mr. M'Candiess remarked: It occurs to me I have seen this meeting before. I am sure I never saw it behind, for you have never tura ed your backs on the enemy and never will. cr remeu duous cheering,.) I congratulate you or. the beauty, sublimity and hay many of the scene now presented by the Democracy o .the Union. All. all had our first love, our persona preferences. Many distinguished statesmen were urged forward by ardent and enthusiastic friends for the high distinction of a Presidential nomination.— But the cardinal principle of the party, that men should be surrendered to measures prevailed, and the Nation al Convention, with a - patriotism and unanimity unpar atoned, have selected two men for the exalted offices in your gift, both of wham are unexceptionable in every' private and political quality. '- Cul Polk comes from the good old stock of the Rev olution, his ancestors having participated in the Mech-1 lenberg declaration of Independence in the month of May, 1775, more than a year before our own illustri ous Jefferson, wrote and signed the immortal charter of 1776. H is progenitors promptly renounced all al ' legiance and fidelity to the British crown, and he spur ned, denounced, and trod in the dust the British Bank, which the enemies of our common country sought to affix as a carbuncle upon this glorious body politic.— Long and loud cheering.] In the Whig papers of to day, he is misrepresented as being, a violent enemy of the protective policy. If these party organs speak the truth, I am prepared to she s by the most incontestible evidence, that his senti ments on the Tariff are identical with those entertain- ed by Mr Clay, and their great champion of 1840, Gen Harrison, un the compromise Bill; and if they ore inconsistent with the ptotective policy of this manu facturing state and district, the whigs ore the last per sons who ought to protnulge them, 'ler people that live in glass ileums should nut throw stones." [cheers.] Upon these topics we shall meet them face to face iii the exciting canvass which is before us. Mr. Dallas is a Pennsylvanian of lofty and com manding talents, and identified personally and politb cally with her destinies. lie is a Democrat without guile, and his Tariff speech in the Senate of the Unt ted States will compare, without blu-hing, with Mr t Clay's great effarts on the same subject. before he abet, (toned the principle of prineetksigs the odious hod zontal scale 'of 1833. (Chei4YtWith his worthy compeer, Col. Polk, he stood f.fet by General Jackson in the fearful panic session of the Congress of the United States. He sustained the vx-ro of the Bank Bill and resisted the infamous. attempt of a moneyed aristocracy, to saddle the people of this country, with the incubus of foreign capital and foreign influence. (Loud cheering.) The honest yeomanry if the country will appreciate' the moral as well as the political standing of our can didates. They are in strong contrast. with at least the i head and front *tithe hig ticket, who, with all his dex tin it y of hand, will endeavor to compete in a game of . •rt,I.K. " with his dist inznislied adversary. 1 its whips say Mr Clay is a iried friend, and so be is. lie has twee tried to ice and condemned, and will be -treated in November, 1844.

District Court.—Dttring the last two days the at tention tif the District Court has been occupied in hearing testimony in the celebrated case alluded to by us none weeks si rye. The title of this case is -Sally Muller co Louis Belmunci and John F Miller in war ranty " The plataiff is a woman of some 33 years of age, or thereabouts: has a think olivecomplexien, and when young mu , t have been pretty good looking. She came to this country fro.n Germany, as she attempt., to prove, at a very tender a; e; on the passage hither her mother died, and shortly after her arrival her ftth eralsof•lla victim to the c Biotite. Being of that class called Redemptioners, she had none to look up to for protection to assistance, and was, in common parlance, •'sold" to Mr John F Miller for a certain term of years. Sonic two years ago she was, so it is alleged, actually sold far life by him to Mr Louis Belmont', who, believing. that it was a bona fide sale. had no ob jections, it would seem, in purchasing In the mean time, the plumes cousins came to this country, and meeting with her they thought they recognized her as one of their cwn family. Out talking the matter over, proofs sufficiently conclusive were arrived at to warrant her friends in prosecutine an action intended to estab lish her freedom nod give her immunity fur the twenty years of her life passed in slavery.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11. 1841. The committee un science and rots, constituted by the Franklin Institute of the state of Pennsylvania, for the promotion of mechanic arts, to whom was refer. red for examination the Patent Improved Leaden Pipe. manufactured by Messrs. Tatham & Brothels, of Phi.- adelphia, Pa. • Reporr,that they have carefully examined many spe cimens of these pipes, select& by di, tum:lves nod sub jected them to repeated trials II) a sritablv lot re pump. The pressure wee cuutiou.l) ilicreu.s.d wail the burs ting point w.ts attained in ,very instance, and the phe nomdaa accurately observed. From the results of these trials the ciansaittee ate, uminimously of opinion, that these pipes pewees some important advutatuges over those betetaittre used. • let The Strength is equal to the moximum strength of lead duo to the. form rind weight of the tubrethesme. hibiting a rare coincidence between theoretical sad practical perfection in this respect. The uniformity of the thickness and perfect accuracy ofthe here, which are attained by this mode of manufacture, insure this invariably. Experiments on the strength oflenden pipet exhibit many disconinnt and embarrassing characters, which have occasioned the committeesorneenxiety. 'his well known that the presence of a small portion atilt, or other metal, which is weirdly alloyed with lead always effects its hardness and strength; so that pipes made precisely in the same manner, of lead procured from different and even from the same mines, vary exceed ingly in strength. This source of error cannot be me • certained without great difficulty, anti the committee have taken it into consideration. 2.d. Absence of Flaics.—As the metal is forced out from the receivereunder enormous pressure whilst acquiring its form/Maws are avoided, which so titers exist in the ordinary castings. It is moreover proba ble, that such pt essum. whilst consolidating the metal, contributes to its strength. 3d. Absence of Scales of Lead and Polish of the Taterior.—The pipes are perfectly clean within, and from the mode of making them, must necessarily have this desirable property. The perfectpolish alsofecili tates the motion of fluids. 4. Uniforssity of Bore.—The calibre is capable of krigg made precisely the same 'browbeat while the coONfle leaden pipes may vary even when made with pethidine. sth. Economy of Metal, resulting from the con centricity of the interior and exterior -surfaces. No , metal is wasted from variation in thickness. 6th. The Longer Len gths,--srquiriag fewer joints; thus diminishing the expense and inconvenience of 'sol dering. These pipes can be made in lengths of from forty to three hundred feet according to their,weights: 7th- Facility of making Pipes of large Dimas ter--which the cummiuee believe to be almost im practicable by the ordinary methods, but which may nevertheless be sometimes demanded in the arts.
