WHO PASSIM TH& Tantrs BILL?—The Gazette
of yesterday contains an attack on lamas K. Pout
for alleged opposition to the Twill' of 1842; The
annals of political warfare can furnish no greater in
stance of presumption than such an attack in a paper
devoted to the whig party.
Does the Gazette forgo that the vary head and front
of its faction voted against dm present Tariff Bill?
It cha.ges opposition to that Bill as a heinous politi
cal crime in butts K. Puts;—if it lor, so, what is to
become of the g eat, glorified leaders of that most im
pudent and inconsistent of all parties, the:followers of
the Kentucky demagogue.
If opposition to the present Tariff be a crime, what
punishment is due to .1 Q ADAMS. a man of whom the
whigs make a demigod, who voted against that Tat all
What punishment should be meted out to Batas
W. Owstzr, now the wbig candidate for the post of
Governor of Kentucky, taken up for that office, too,
under the very eye and influence of Mr Ct.arl Dare
the whigs deny that Mt OW3LET is a true whig? dare
they assert that his political course has been in oppo-
sition to the views of the party? They dare not do
it—yet Judge °MILKS voted against the present Tariff
Bill.
If opposition to the existing Tariff be a political
heresy that should exclude those guilty of it from
power, what shall be done with Mr Speaker Werra,
of Kentucky, wto gave the vote, which, according to
Mr. McKennan, of Washington, was designed to
"KILL THE BILL."
We have before alluded to the compliment Mr Mc-
Kcenan of Washington, a whig leader, paid Mr.
STANLEY, of Noith Carolina, another whig leader, fur
saving the present Tariff Bill. And was it from JAS.
K. POLE, or from any friends of his, that Mr Stanley
saved this bill? No, it was from this same Speaker
Wurre, the neighbor, the bosom friend, and the
mouth-piece of HENRY CLAY, who declared he would
"KILL THE BILL," it was from the weapon of
this puissant whig champion, that Mr. SraNtY saved
this Bill!
If isarts K. Pots, who took no part fur nor
against, in the passage of this bill, is to be held up to
public censure for alleged enmity to it, what shall
be done with Jose M Burrs, of Va., a mighty whig,
on whom has devolved the honor of unseating Presi
dent Tyler, who voted against it and opposed it bit
terly? And bow shalt we punish Mitton BRows and
GENTRY of Tenn , and HEBERSHAY, of Ga., and
RATNER, of North Carolina, and WU COST JOHNSON,
of Md., and TRIPLETT and lisoinwooo of Ky., and
the nemerons other whigs, who voted against the pre
sent Tariff Bill?
The truth is, the leaders of the Whig party in Con
gress had determined, as a party movement, to "kill
the Tariff Bill , • The leaders of that party in Con
gress were a ; mom united in any thing, than they
were in theittSatilitiy to that bill—and when Speak
er Wurrn afelirmined to "kill the Bill," there can
be no doubt that he was merely carrying out the fiat
of the whip caucus.
And it was the democratic members that saved and
passed that Bill—it was the votes of Batson, and
BIDLACX, and Pnintllß, and CH•RLIia BROWN, of
Pa., and VAN BURL!!! and DAVIS, of N Y., and many
of their democratic colleagues beside, that "saved
the Tariff' Bill." And yet, after having done their
b oot to 4 , killAbe bill," the whig organs come forward
and claim it as a whig measure. Who, but whigs,
could be guilty of such andaci?us impudence?

the
: public mind was still excited by the rendition of
a verdict so totally unsustained by the evidence; they
trifled with the accused until public indignation sub
sided and the impression Ras created in the public
mind that nothing more than a nominal punishment
would be inflicted, and when this state of public feel
ing was ascertained, the whole scheme of tymnny wos
developed, and the amount of punishment. which was
no doubt arranged before the trial took place, was in
flicted on the men who had the temerity to expose the
injustice of England.
This act of oppreesion cannot fail to excite feelings
of indignation in the breasts of every lover of justice,
end may give an impetus to the cause of equal righr
in Ireland that will make her tyrants tremble.
world cannot look on such injustice with indifference,
and instead of crushing the Repeal cause by the im
prisonment of its advocates for no other crime than
that of telling the wrongs and oppression under which
their countrymen groan, this set will call forth new
champions for the righteous struggle, end England
will yet have to yield the justice which she has so long
denied her patriotic but much injured sister kingdom.
CITY Ktzrixo ♦ DISORDERLY Hottac.--Stmngely
enough, the city of Brooklyn was convicted on Satur
day last, in the Brooklyn Court of Sessions, of keep
jag a disorderly house. The house alluded to is an
engine house. The Common Council of Brooklyn
was indicted in June, 1843, the case has been regular
ly tried, the City convicted,and will be sentenced next
term. They cannot put the City in jail, though they
may its authorities :

Mx states—if they can get them. Although the coons
affect to sneer at ibis offer, they know that they will be
glad to compromise for it before the election.
The gentlemanly individual who edits die Gazette
has seen proper to assail me again in his paper of this
morning. This makes the inutth or fifth editorial as
sault 1 have received since last fall, and 1 think it
nothing but fair that Mr White should now hear from
me. As your patrons aro seldom entertained with
the pulite readings that adorn the now " big organ, I
beg you to make room for the following elegant cz.
z rae s—"of Sam. W Black's conversion to Locu Fors..
ism there is nut a donbt, and if there is a single Anti
mason nod whig in the community who don't rejoice
that Sara has found polittcnl nssociutes more to his
taste, we should like to know it. The fart is Sam's
defection from the whig ranks is a matter of congratu
',pion, and his return would be most sincerely depre
cated. The Post can therefore count,ifleen, all told,
(olie of thcni in Denmark, and the remainder except
Sans won't vote for Polk) who inivedeserted the three
I thousand mojority in old Allegheny county."
For once that editor has stumbled on the truth;
have found political associates more to my taste—men
plain but honest, men who prize principles above ten
nPy, men who are indeed urn), not slur , * 'row
er far than the unfortunates of the South, who, even
in the hot market ; aro refreshed with the proud delight
of knowing they are not self sold.
But the editor grows cruel, and informs me and the
others that we have "deserted three thonsand majority
in old Allegheny county " A serious mistake for
men to make who seek political preferment; neverthe
less, since I do not. I any most herutily, "I thank thee,
Jew, for teaching me that word." %Viten will he de
sert "the three thousand" majority? When. oh. wizen,
will he desert that other "three thousand" considera
tion, whose potent influence has placed him where be
is? Who can tell? Alas, i c moot, for thoneli "the
thousands" of majority might be ours, the other and
essential asousands belong only to the Deac3rt's pre
sent owners. I will not, however, leave him with in
sinuations, let us see whether there is any proof, either
Positive or circumstantial, to show his love of princi
ple. As early as February last, and in view of
Mr Clay's nomination, the following Indenture was
signed:
"Whereas, it has become important to the friends
of Henry Clay and the whig cause, that steps should
be speedily taken to enlist the services of the Pitts
burgh Gazette to promote their views, and Whereas,
1 there is a necessity in making some change in the
proprietorship of that paper, and Whereas, Mr M M
Oases is disposed to sell out, and D N White agrees
to support the nominee of the Whig convention, and
the political opinions tending to promote the election
of the said nominee. Therefore, to promote so de
sit able an object, and enable Mr. White to raise the
money necessary to make sale, we agree, each of us,
to be responsible to .any person or persons who may
loan said White the necessary auto, not exceeding
three thousand dollars, or may become security, endor
ser or drawer for that purpose, to pay such person or
persons any sum not exceeding $200; that is, each one
of 118 to be responsible kirthat sum, and no more, and
Mr. W giving his own obligation to pay off said loan,
to be held and enforced by such lender, surety, endor
ser ordrawer within such time as may reasonably be
agreed on. Witness our hands and seals."

In company with it was the annexed bill of sale:
"Whereas, the editors of the Pittsburgh Gazette,
M M Grant and D N White, find it proper under the
political aspect, to modify the course of the paper. i
and, to enable them to do so, said Grant deems it
proper to withdraw from the editorship, and dispose i
of his interest to Ws partner; and, whereas some of
the friends of the said parties, to effect such sale and
raising the money necessary, have agreed to indemnify
those who have given their bond, for that purpose, I. the
said White, do hereby, without renouncing my princi
ples of anti-masonry and anti-slavery, and the moder
ate expression of them in said paper, do pledge my
to those gentlemen who have become-., parties to
,0c
said indemnity, thatthe paper, as Pidig the pur

CY, AND THE POLITICAL PRINCIPLES NE-
CiSSARY TO SUPPORT SUCH NOMINEE, un
less said nominee should be in raver of the annexation
of Texas to the Union."
The special pleading employed by D N White to
escape from the imputation of being sold is, that the
bargain was not consummated, ten only of the fifteen
whigi had signed their names, and he was not yet
transferred in law. Granted..

The Deacon had no mercenary hopes then, and he

his strange c ' Speaking against Mr Clay
41
his paper is ad a follows:
. "It will be here ' more difficult for the Whirint l r-'
ty to concentrate the Aniihseofoco forces, and t will
yearly grow increasingly difficult. The North, where
the most voters ore, require a man who is not only fa
vorable to • Tat if a eound National currency, distri

cannot get such a man they will led Me election go
by default, or scatter their votes strong hopeless can
didates, in order to give en expression of their princi
ples."
Now, in regardi t
nse charges, whether true or
n
false, he never changed his opinion, he never let the
public see that he had reason to change it before his
conversion, and yet, pious and conscientious as ever,
he urges the elevation of the man be bad abused, and
abuses every man that will not make himself respec
table by being one of the Deacon's associates! Per
haps Mr White may say I am rash in this part of my
complaint, and that he did change his opinion of the
morals of hiscandidete. If he did, why did the a 1
igreoment that was to take him over say nothing about
it? "It was necessary to enlist the services of the
Pittsburgh Gazette, and D N White agrees to sustain
the nominee of the Whig convention and the political
opinions ten:ling to promote theeleciion of said Nom
inee,"—not a word here, nor a hint even, about the
mora/opinions (the burden of his former complaints)
which would loud to promote the election of .Henry
Clay. Oh no,—that was not in the bargain, his moral
notions were not to be changed, they had for the pres
ent to "stand o u t of the way."
Let us examine Mr White's part of the transaction,
and see whether any thine, in it indicates a conscience
clearing limn former difficulties:—
"13 N White agrees to modify the course of the pa
per," and "without renouncingbis principles of anti
masonry and antislavery. and the moderate expressiou
of them in said paper, pledges himself to the gentle
men who have become parties to the indemnity thut
the paper. so lunges the purchrse money remeinie Wt.
paid by them, and during the obligation of said gen
tlemen fur such purchase money, will sustain the nom
inee of the Whig Convention for the Presidency, and
the political pi inciples necessary to support such nom
inee, unless said nominee should be in favor of the an
nexation of Texas." Here we have it all; his antima
sonic and antislavery views are (if touched at all) to
he expresssed moderately. to suit the temper of the
times and the feelings cif hill masonic friends, concern
ed in the purchase. But the duelling, and immoral
ity, and profanity of the candidate a7C all to be swal
lowed at one mouthful, provided the annexation of
Texas (of which, by the way, there was no danger,)
was not also put into the spnon.
This hireling and slave is to work for the obligors
in the hood amine the existence of their liability for
him: that is the consideration that is to make him
work, nod all the while, if his word were worth any
thing, he stands before the world nn apostle of-sruth
to preach sound doctrines, not to, but against those
luckless Gewile., the Loco Feces.
Ala., poor Deacon—he has obtained, by accident
or luck, the color.' of a paper. hitherto respectable,
and brought its character down to the miserable teed
of his own. First canto his fawning on the whip
whom he had abused, and then. to the melody of ring
ing dollars, the thrift that followed it. Ile earned
money. and with it the contempt of the men that
bought him. Even his former office is virtually taken
from lain; hots no loner gratified for a poor deacon—
St. Paul cut him off when hr said—" likewise must
the deacon. be arrive, not double tungiied, riot greedy
of filthy lucre." Let him Ifkre on and enjoy his de
graded position. He anus proclaims to the world for
truth that which he does not believe, and in doing
it fulfils the destiny for which nature evidently intend
ed him. But even in that his love of money will not
be disappointed. for without the expense of "getting
him glass eyes," he can "like a scurvy politician seem
to see the things he cloth not !!" T leave the public
to judge how proper a man the Deacon is to express
congratulations to the whip party, and call me to an
account fur my political course.

Saturday Evening, June 22.1844.
1MM1E12233
A good Meal of excitement was occasioned yesterday
morning by one of the most extraordinary an I myste
rious circumstances that have occurred in this city since
the memorable taking off of Miss. Rogers The cir
cumstances. as fares we have been able to trace them,
are as follows:—Tito wife of a Mr Mills, who drives a
cart for the lumber yard in Cherry-street, came up
from the country on Tuesday, bringing with her two
children and some furniture, to join her husband,
who had taken lodgings in the Fourth Avenue. Mills
proposed to take the furniture up in his cart, and told
his wife to get into an omnibus with the children.—
Arriving before her, he waited some time, until his
suspicions were awakened that something was wrong,
and he returned into the.city to make inquiries. His
search was Aides, until yesterday, when he met a
man with his wife and family. taking them up to their
home. The driverexplained that on going into his
stable at Yorkville, where he lived, he found the woman
and her two children in a condition which showed that
some lout work had been done. The infant child was
in its mother's arms cruelly beaten; the mother, whose
' person was covered- with the marks of blows and her
clothes torn, was insensible, and the elder child was
also severely beaten and but just sensible. On being
moved, the mother rallied sufficiently to request to be
taken to her husband, and gave the address, but im
mediately relapsed into a state of insensibility from
which she has not yet recovered. The affair is under
going investigation by the authorities. Whether the
poor woman had got into the wrung stage and been
taken on to Yorkville, and there subjected to this,
land farther brutal treatment, has not yet been ascer
tained.—N 1-Republic.
More Remetvale.—The Washington correspondent
of the Chronicle, states that the President has made
the following removals and appointments for Philadel
phia, to take effect on the Ist of July:
414 B. Sutherland, Postmaster in place of John C
Montgomery. General Joseph Hall, Weighmaster, in
place of Francis J Grunt', recently confirmed as Con
sul to Antwerp. Wm B Whitecar, Naval Officer, in
place of Joel B Sutherland, appointed Postmaster.
Dr Thomas Dunn English, Navy Agent, in place of
Thomas Hayes. Caleb Pierce, Surveyor of the Port.
in place of John G Watmongh. Amos Hollahan,
Treasurer of the Mint, and Dr Samuel Heinuelman,
Assayer of the Mint, in the place of the present in
cumbents.
le Escape of the Mier Prisoners.—Mr. A. B.
Laforge, one of the sixteen Mier prisoners who es
caped from the Castle Perote, by digging under its
foundation—st task which it took two months to so
complish--bas arrived at Chu ten. He states that
five of the sixteen were recaptured. The following are

A CARD.
H A NNINGTON respectfully announces to the
1.1. citizens of Pittsburgh, the return of his exhibi
tion of Moving Dioramas and Fantoccini, as exhibit
ed in 1839. His inability to accommodate bis nuo:er
ous visitors at that time, owing to the difficulty of pro.
curing a Hall of sufficient dimensions has induced him
to lease the Theatre for the better accommodation of
his patrons.
H. H. trusts that an innocent and hitherto Milady .
patronized Exhibition, (which in two years has been
the means of returning upwards of $2OOO to the vari
ous charitable institutions of cities he has visited,)
may not suffer by any prejudice that may exist against
the name of the Building. The same good order will
be preserved as in other halls. The Saloons of the s.s.
tabl isbment are closed, andevery exertion used in 1839,
will he redoubled on the present occasion. Novelties
of the most attractive description OM be produced on
the 4th of July, and for the most perfect preservation
of order, an effective police is provided. Parties se
