Glorious Gathering of the Democracy!
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!

party ; the honest whigs and autimasons of the county
will not, certainly, do anything that would favor the
cause of him whO "throttled the tariff," or advance the
ambitions schemes of a "profane and immoral man."
That Henry 'Clay is obnoxious to both these charges
We have only to refer to the columns of the Pittsburgh
Gazette for proof.
When the democratic ticket is brought out
show tied - Whig clique of the city, that although Kay
can cheat The antimoons of the county. they cannot

:the effacers of the *entity out to political saw:Astor** .
'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.
Jai. K. Pot.x.—The Albany A:las,in an article upon I
the Presidential nominations, buys: —he comes before
the people of thin State the representative of the prin
ciples that are dearest to th , m. He was identified
wit', the admb,i,tration3 of Jackson and Van Buren,
to which tin people of this Sl.itt , will ever k.ok. with
and with pride. lie will he elected. lie
will take from Mr. Clay e‘ en his own native State.—
[he West and the South will rally to him. The demo
, cratic Stutes every whale will respond to the nomina

t will not occupy any utb'r place than the front rank of
the democratic party."

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

-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

We are unable to notice their speeches in detail this
morning, but we will endeavor to give sketches of
them all to-morrow.

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

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

years of her life passed in slavery. The damages ar
laid at $lO.OOO. and the snit of the plantiff, if sustain

sion that he wan in reality buying a colored person.

Patent Improved Leaden Pipes.
THE Leaden Pipes and Tubes manufactured accor
ding to Tatham's patent by W W Thompson.,
of St Louis, have been sold for some time in tbis city.
All who use it have found it remarkable fur accuracy
of calibre and attain mity of thickness,and perfectly free
from flaws and scales.
It can be had in Piusburgh of C MRICKETSON,
Ag.nt fin• the Manufactumers, at 370 Liberty st.,
The following is the
REPORT •
Of a Committee of the Franklin Insit itute upon Tatham
& Brothers' Patent Improved Leaden Pipe*. &c.
llrll of the Franklin institute.
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.
By order of the committee.
