This is the language of the venerable Ritchie, than whom a purer man, either in political or private life, ! dues not live.

THOS. PHILLIPS k WIC H. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1844 FOR PRESIDENT, - JAMES K. POLK, oy TENNESSEE FOR VICE PRESIDENT, GEO. M. DALLAS, or PRAINSYLVA?;IA FOR GOVERNOR, IL A. MUHLENBERG. Srt-trim or Joi n t W. BAP:R.—This man made a speech at the Clay Club on Tuesday night. We were present, and certainly never heard any thing surpass ing it in recklessness and falsehood. It would take up more room than we can spare, to notice all his asser tions; but we will mention a few as specimens of the whole: Ho said that James K. Polk was a duellist, it gam bler, and a drunkard: this the Boston Courier. an in fluential whig print, has positively contradicted, and states that Mr Polk 'is not only a man of exemplary morels but of religious principles ' The National In taTligencer, the organ of the whig party in the Union, and a paper possessing as much veracity as Mr Baer can lay claim to, speaks of Mr Polk as unexceptiona ble in his social and domestic relations. Here then are three deliberate falsehoods. Another was, that Levi Woodbury declared that high wages only served to make mechanics drink more and work less. This sentiment was tittered by Ben• jamin Franklin, as Mr Woodbury distinctly stated, and as Baer well knows; and surely Franklin, who was a mechanic himself, and one of the best men that ever lived, cannot be charged with hostility to the interests of mechanics. The expression, forthermore, bad no reference to American mechanics, but to those of the old world, and was adverted to by Mr Woodbury for the purpose of showing the directly opposite effect produced by high wages on the condition of workmen in a republican governmenlP This fact the speech it self w ill show. He denied that Henry Clay used the blasphemous expreaspre to Speaker Polk that is attributed to him, and cluitged it upon Clay, of Alabama. It is well known that this language has been fastened upon Hen ry Clay by the testimony of men who beard him utter it, and no person, save John W. Baer, has ever attempted to deny it: The sixth falsehood was, that the entire whig party, north and Booth, were in favor of l'rotection. How much truth is in this declaration, may ho judged fro n the facts, that the Richmond Whig. the acknowledged coon organ in the South, is supporting Clay because he is more of afree trade man than Mr Van Buren; and the Savannah Republican, the leading Clay paper in Georgia, denies "that Mr Clay, or the Whigs of Georgia, whose candidate he is, seek for the estab lishment of a Protective Tariff." Mr Baer apologized for Clay's Compromise, and said that it was the only thing that could save the union from dissolution. But there is not at the pres ent time any threats of dissolution. yet Mr C Icy still ad heres to the principles of that bill, and declares that there is ne necessity of protection for protection. Many other statements that he made were equally false with the above, bat as we were not in a position to take notes, we cannot now distinctly recollect them. His description of a dandy made several Whig exqui sites us look very small. and it was really pitia ble to see the attempts they made to laugh at his des cription, while the rest of the meeting were laughing a them. . . 07 It seems absurd to hope fur any good for the THE JERSEY Btu es.—ln this state the Democrat democratic cause from Kentucky, but the spirit withic fi re is in a perfect blaze.

The reasons of both gentlemen fur declining, were given, and did not proceed from any want of at tochment to the party.

Resolutions in favor of a Tariff, and against Masonry and Slavery were unanimously adopt ed. A resolution to hold a Maas Meeting on the 21at and 22d of August neat. win alazt adopted.

Our merchants appear tube busy, and although not doing a dashing and un certain trade. nor making what, in times of bank ex pansions, would be cAlied " eplendi l fortunes," they. are getting on safely and comfut tubly. From our country file:n(ls, we have tidings of good crops of grain and fruit. They say the prospects fat a large yield were never better. From the South the reports of a large cotton crop are the most flatter ing. Thus, to whatever side we turn, we see plenty and prosperity. You see few idle people—every body appears to have something to do—and labor is better paid than it was in the palmy times of paper bubble s —'Tie true, a man may receive fewer paper promise's fur his labor than he did in 133 G —but then, he can buy more of the necessaries and comforts of life with the money he does get. But the best and most wholesome feature about our present state of °nits is that we are not, troubled with gloomy fo:ebodings about the future, that always haunt the minds of thinking men in the times of paper money prosperity. There is no reason to fear a sud den revulsion that may throw the whole machinery of business into confusion, and bring losses, disasters and distress t%every man's door. THE CoNtraomtsE.—Some of the whig mars have really made their readers believe that Mr. CLAY has abandoned the principles of the Compromise act. Here is one of a string of Resolutions which he read to the Senate, Feb 15, 1842: 4. Resolved. That in the adjustment or the Tariff to raise an amount of 26 millions of Revenue, the principles of the Compromise act, generally, should be adhered to: and that especially, a minimum rate of ad valorem duties should be established, from nhich there ought to be. as little departure as possible. WHIG WIT. -Mr. Clay placed his back against a tree, and remarked, with hii inimitable pleasantly. "Well, gentlemen, you have treed the old coon at last."—Coon Paper. Since the Gazette man has taken to laughing, no doubt in the laudable determination to —laugh and grow fat," we advise him to tickle his risibles with the first rate Whig ,joke we have quoted above. This "pleasantry" is a new and very delightful feature in the character of the federal candidate. They might now say of him, "He's a first rate hind BC "poker." And a most successful, practical, and entirely inimita ble joker." A USEFUL IMP HOT EYIENT.- - I4lojOr C.

BIDDLE.—In the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday, Mr Biddle, editor of the American, wrtscalled up fur sentence, hnd wasaddres sed by Judge Patton as follows: James W. Biddle—you have been i nelicted and found guilty of a libel on Absalom Morris. The object of the prosecution, as distinctly avowed en the one side. and acquiesced in on the other, was to investigate the truth of certain charges contained in the libel—charges which had previously floated through the community, and which were, at a time of highpolitical excitement, repeated in a distinct shape in thefnewspaper of which you are the editor. The investigation has taken place, and the prosecutor, in a writing read in open court, has expressed himself satisfied with the result. His coim sel also comes into court and reiterates the same thing. He invokes a mild sentence, and states his conviction that the paymentof thecosts (which are heavy) will be a sufficient penalty. The jury by whom the verdict was rer dered, recommended the defendant to the mild consideration of the court. This is n recommendation which we cannot disregard or overlook. Our expe rience end observation hitherto, have inspired us with the most unbounded confidence in the integrity, impar. tin lily and independence of the juries in this county.— We cherish a high and an habitual respect for their de cisions, and for their requests. We feel bound to car ry into effect their views and wishes in regard to the present case. We may add, that you have not, in con nection with this proceeding, placed yourself, that we are aware of, in an attitude of defiance towards the Inca of the country. But, on the contrary, we trust your own reflection has satisfied you that the law of libel was made fur wise and salutary purposes—that it was in tended and was necessary to secur3 a proper respect for the feelings, the r iglus and reputation of our fellow men; and that he who voluntarily manifests this res pect in his conduct. furnishes the 'mist satisfactory proof of good intentions and n good heart. The sentence of the Court is that you pay a fine of $5 to the Commonwealth; that you pay the casts of prosecution, and stand committed till this sentence is complied with. From the Globe of June o.

Richett, of Worcester, Mass., who disappeared very mysteriou•tly some two years ago, has lately been found under rather extraordinary circumstances. Richett was formerly an Episcopal minister, and officiated in Brooklyn and Newark, but was more recentlyengaged in the dry goods business in Worcester. He left the latter place about two years ago, with $3,000, intend ing, as he said, to settle some bills in New York. This, however, he did not do, but caused a report of his death to be circulated, by getting a friend to say in a letter t 9 his wife that his hat had been found floating in one or the docks of New York. He then left fur England, leaving debts unsettled in New York and Boston to the amount of $10,500. In the' spring of 1843 he returned under the name of John H Raynor, and commenced a business under the ideal firm of Roselt & Co. He carried on a strong game of smug gling bronze, and resorted to the grossest frauds and even perjury to prevent detection. He was arrested on Monday last by officer A M C Smith of New York, and is now in fhe Brooklyn jail under charge for smuggling, and also'upon a judgment obta;ned against him under the law to punish debtors. His career seems to have been almost without exam ple, and if the reports of the man be true, he must be a bold and accomplished scoundrel. Officer Smith has also, we learn, succeeded in secu ring in Boston $l,OOO worth of the smuggled brone; in Philadelphia $6OO worth; and in Baltimore $BOO worth. There is still $3.000 worth which he has re ceived, and (as appears by his books) not disposed of, which cannot at this time be traced. He alleges that it has been stolen from his office in Banner street; but the story is discredited. A GREAT ROBBERY AT ALBANY The Albany Evening Jauntslstates that Mr H M'- Kee, of Salem (Wash. Co: N. Y.,) was robbed on Friday last of $lO,OOO, under' the hdlowins cit*utn - . stances: Mr M'Kee came up the river hot night in tiff Al- : bany, arriving here about half past 7 o'clock. He wentfronathe boat to the City Hotel, where be was ac+ customed to stop; walked into the hall in the rear of the bar room; hung up his overcoat and carpet bag on a hook, and went directly into the dining-room, where breakfast had just been served, without putting his baggage in charge of any body, 'or telling the barkeep er that it contained anything of unusual value. When Mr M'Kee came out from breakfast, the carpet-bag, containing ten thousand dollars, was missing, and then Mr M., for tho first time, mentioned its contents. In quiry being made at once, it was ascertained that a stranger had been seen in the reading room of the Ho tel just about breakfast time, and that the barkeeper, not fancying his looks, had asked him if he wished for breakfast, to which he replied in the negative. Just then a number of persons came in from the boats, and then the attention of the bar-keeper was engrossed by them. netted just disposed of them, when Mr M'- Kee discovered and proclaimed his loss. Of course the suspicious looking individual, noticed by the bat keeper, was gone: and a person, coming up Market street, said he meta man, answering the descriptioc and carrying a carpet-bag in his hand, hurrying to wards the railroad. A messenger was forthwith de spatched to the depot of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, and it was ascertained that such a man had been there, but about five or ten minutes too late for the cars, and that failing to obtain a passage, in them, he had endeavored, but in vain, to get a cab or back mall to take him on to Schenectady, When last seen he was going up Ly di us street. Mr M'Kee has offered a reward of five hundred dollars for the recovery of the money and arrest of the thief. We sincerely hope that hewillattain bothhis objects. The thief is believed to be an English pickpocket of some notoriety, who has been seen in our city fur two or three days past We have not been furnished with any description of his person. A DARING EXPEDITION From a Spanish paper published in this city called La Indiana—a journal edited with taste, spirit and intelligence—we learn that on Monday last, the 27th nit., Gen Sentmannt embarked form this port, on board the William Tone, with a band of hardy followers, engaged in an expedition intended to revolutionize To basco, one of the Mexican departments. Gen S. was formerly Governor of that province, and about this lime la-I. r ear we are aware that he declared against Santa Anna and raised a revolution; but be was soon overpowered by the superior forces of Gen. Ampudia, his followers were dispersed, and he himself took re fuge in Yucatan. From Campeachy Sentmanat em barked for Havana, whence, about two months since, he came over to this city. Of all these facts, so far, we i are aware, and according to La Indiana it would far ther seem that Gen S. has employed his time in this city in collecting a body of men to accompany him on i an expedition—we measurably translate from our Spanish contemporary—as perilous as any which fa ' lite or history recounts. It is asserted that it is the pur. . pose of those engaged init. upon having effected their landing, to set fire to their vessel, and then, in emula tion of the first conqueror of Mexico, wage a war a gainst the existing powers. We will nor say that all this does not partake some what of extravagance of design, and will be less peril ous or execution than was the bold expedient of Her man Cortez; but it was news to us, and will doubtless be so to our readers, that any such wild adventure had I been set alout. So far as we can learn, no such yes :el a e W s thilli ini 'limo has been in or left our port.— The Wiiliam A.
