Will devote a few momenta to a review of the ene ,- sny's forces in Allegheny County in this campaign; and wire are sure that any cool, dispassionate man, must simile when he hears the horn blowers of a party so • circumstanced, claiming a large majority. They are -most essentially a I endless, lifeless, political body, -without one single quality or element of success abou - As we have shown already, they have lost in the ; persons Of SUTTON, CRAIG, ELDER, BLACK, IRWIN, end others, their best leaders and speakers, and are controled by the veriest parcel of bunglers that ever assumed die control of a party. They have not the -courage nor the spirit to carry on a campaign in the old antimasonic fashion. They are conscious that -their candidate is deservedly unpopular in this county; his political heresies and the loathsome personal char acter which the Gazette has ascribed to him, have ten -Jetted him odious to those who have hitherto formed The bone and muscle of that party. The Compromise act, which Mr. CLAY considers the master-piece of his political life, and to which he and his leading Friends are constantly proclaiming adherence, was al ways unpopular in this section from its very adoption it has been unsparingly denounced by leading Whigs -hem, and especially by HARMAR DENNY, their print dal man. These untoward circumstances made it de 'livable that some measures should be taken to secure the support of the antimasonic branch of the Harrison warty. This was no easy task. In his character of a high -and adhering mason, Mr. CLAY had always been exceptionable to antimasons. This disrelish was heightened by the steadfast opposition of the Gazette, •to his ambitious views, under its former editor, Mr. 'Caste, and the unceasing personal and political war fare Waged against him, by the present editor. What 'was to be done? Without obtaining the aid of the Tarty which supported the Gazette, which at the late -election polled 500 more votes than the Clay ticket, -there was no hope. How was this to be accomplish ed. The ADVOCATE, the whig organ, had rendered ttglf obnoxious to antimasons—they would not sup port. that. If a new paper had been started, with CLAY at its head, the antimasons could never be coax -ad to subscribe fur that. How were they to be reach- Gen W. MARKS was called to the chair. and Mr .

Some of the more honest of their patty, who have not sagacity enough to see the' danger of the experiment, are not pleased because the tenets of the Native Americans, alias "Church Burn- ! -ers," were not boldly proclaimed as part of Abe whig anted, and they threaten them with a new ticket.— Whether they will.form one or not, or whether the can didate* willappease them kg pledging themselves to support the Native American cause if elected, we know not.

What doubt is there of their disastrous mad ooutpletr defeat—who doubts the success of the Andre democratic ticket this fall? Weasel k ststailist some of therederal papers that ebe Boa Rose Winans of Micirivin ins joined the air ddigketWo. larThe Gazette notices the proof we gave him from his own columns that 1:m had denounced Mr. Clay as a gambler, a duellist, and-an immoral and profane man; .but instead of candidly admitting the, truth of -the • chorps, he has the braion mendacity to deny that they werwintended to appli-ie the wbig candidatelor the "Presidency. It is bard-foras to coseeive that any human being could be so lost to every -impulse of honor, to•every feeling of shame,-as to become a volunteer candidate for the scorn of every mart who has the slightest re -specttfor truth. We are still more reluctant to believe that-the editor of the zGazette has sunk to such a low depth of-falsehood as to boldly deny facts that are steelf-evident as his own existeuce. Although we be lieve that much of his talk about morality and piety is mere cant on his part, yet we cannot conceive him to be a thing so vile as to thus grossly outrage one of the cardinal principles inculcated by religion, and to bring scandal upon all who believes in its holy teachings . There must be some mistake in his article of Tuesday; much as we despise him for the corruption of his po litical course, we do not desire to see him sink to such a depth of infamy as his denial of having made the charges mentioned above must drag him, and we hope that he will lose no time in explaining or making a tonement for his atrocious violations of truth. He certainly is not so blind or stupid to suppose that this is a matter that will permit of any equivocation , or that he can escape the ignominy of his gross falsol.ootl by quibbling. Ho cannot; and we can tell him. that there is not a man in this community; not a man in the whig party—aye, not a man among the fifteen whigs, who have ensnared his soul, body, types and presses, who in not shocked at bin conduct in this matter and who would not consider it contamination to have any association with one so uterly lost to those principles of personal veracity that are respected by all honest men. White shall not be permitted to commit this infa_ mous outrage on truth with impunity; to allow it to puss unatoned for would be a stigma upon the veracity of the editorial corps of our city, and he shall retract it or relinquish every claim to the slightest respect from his fellow-citizens. It would be folly for us to attempt to give any more positive proof that he charged Mr Clay with being a gambler. duellist, &c., than what we published on Monday morning. The extracts then given left no doubt on the mind of any man who read them, and as they were plain, positive and distinct, nothing that the Gazette can say in denial of the charge can obscure their meaning or create a doubt as to their intended application. We have not found a single wbig—and we have talked with many on the subject—who dues not admit that we have fully proven that the editor made all the c'harges against Mr. Clay, and that it is the basest violation of truth fur him to attempt to deny it We assure Deacon White that this matter shall no t be abandoned. We will ring it in his ears until he makes some atonement for his gross mendacity, or the infamy of his conduct shall be kept "before the peo ple" as long as he is connected with the public press. WHIG Miss :Azar tric.—The meeting announced with such a flourish of trumpets to come off at Bread burst's, was held yesterday. It proved, as every oth er attempt htis done to create an enthusiasm in favor of Clay, a complete failure. There were not as many present as attended din Ratification meeting of the democrats at the same place, whie.Lwas got up at a few hours notice, and without the least parade. The coons, have been talking of nothing else fur weeks, and as an inducement to bring out the people, announced that some of their most distinguished men would be present and speak. But none came—neith er Crittenden, nor Moorhead, nor Brown, nor Ex- Speaker White, who attempted to "kill" the Tariff Bill. Mr. Darragh stated that they had become sick, and gone home. The indications of democratic en thusiasm and harmony which they witnessed on their journey, was very well calculated to disturb their nerves. r i r The editor of the Gazette denies that he ever abused CLAY. Perhaps not; he called him a 'gambler,' a 'duellist' and an 'immoral and profane man,' how ever. If this is true, it would not be abusive. There. fore we understand the editor to reiterate and stand over all his assertions', maintaining that they are no slanders. Boman COUNTY•—We find the following promise in the Butler Herald of Wednesday. We believe it will beitilly redeemed at the election. "Cut wages M'Ktner v.—This gentleman, we per .ceive by the Pittsburgh Morning Post of the2lst inst., has been put in nomination for State Sei,ate by the Democracy of Allegheny county.

Four. AND THY. TARIFT.--MFOOKYDeftIy invite the attention of every voter in this State, and especially of those honest whigs, who, revoking at the manifold im perfections of lIKARY CLAY, would not support him at all, if they had not been abused by stories of his de votion to the Tariff, to the following expose of Mr rotx's views on that question. We submit to any un prejudiced man to say whether the clear and definite declaration of Mr POLK, is nut better for the friends of home industry than the con:stark repetition by Mr. CLAY of his love fur the Compromise Act,—in other words, we defy any whig to show that Mr CLAY is dis posed to do as much for home industry as JAstits K.

JAMES K. POLK. COLUMBIA, May 15th, 1843. "Oen. Contsm!"—The Whig papers tell a story of a man at some democratic meeting, who moved that the meeting give one cheer for "our country;" they say he was denounced as "a whig," and his proposi tion rejected. This whole story might be truer than many from the same merit. It is not wonderful that this "Whig" would want to "define his position" in regard to ••our country" for his parry are so devoted to the institutions of other countries, that they care very little about their own. It is all very proper for "whigs" to pretend to great love of country for elec tioneering effect, but the devotion of democrats to their country is so well known, and so strong, that they do not find it necessary to resort to such tricks to catch FINANCES OF THE CITY OF NEW YORE.—The Tribune has a statement of the financial condition of the city of New York, which is somewhat interesting. The taxes collected in 1843, amounted to $855,947 16. Its income from other sources for the same year, was $117,965 27—being no aggregate income of nearly one million of dollars—thn rents from city property alone (included in above) amounts to $50,217 75. The expense of the Watch Department for 1843, was $102,508 35; Cleaning streets, $43,000; con tingentexpenses of Common Council, $3,319 73; ex penses of Fire department, $16,866 17; Punting and Stationary, $13,449 06 , salaries of City officers, $97,- 645 48; interest on city debt, $492,803 46. The whole amannt of receipts into the Treasury in the yenr 1843, from loans and all other sources, was $3,919,- 344 81. Balance in the Trea.ury, $136.616 82. The city debt, on the 15th of May, amounted to $15,192,- 017 70. ANOTHER lATAL ACCIDENT AT • WHIO MEETING; The Tribune of Monday says: The Whig Mass meet ing at Newark on Saturday afternoon having been ad journed to the Court House in cons• quence of the low cling weather, was suddenly dispersed by the falling of the temporary staging, at the moment that the Speak er, the Clay Club committee, &c. &c. were about to take possession of it, and the crushing to death of a little boy who was under one t orner of it as it fell. MORMON MATTERS On Saturday we gave the Preamble and Resolutions of a meeting at Warsaw, 111. The citizens of Han cock county held a meeting at Carthage, and passed the same by acclamation. A committee of seven, one from each precinct, was appointed to carry out the spirit of this demonstration. Dr Barns, one of the persons who went with the officers to Nuuvoo, for the purpose of arresting the rioters, reported the result of their proceedings, which was, that the persons char ged in the writs. were duly arrested, but taken from the officer's hands on a writ of habeas cor pus from the Municipal Court, and honorably discharged. The following preamble and resolutions were then rep trted and adopted and a committee of two ap pointed to bear them to the Governor: Wutzttg•s, The officer charged with the execution of a writ, against Joseph Smith and others, for riot in the county of Hancock, which said writ. said officer has served upon said Smith and others—and whereas, in the opinion of this meeting it is impossible for said officer, to raise a sufficent posse to execute said writ-- and whereas, it is the opinion of this meeting, that the riot is still progressing,and that violence is meditated and determined on; it is the opinion of this meeting that the circumstances of the case require the interpo sition of Executive power. Therefore Resolved, That a deputaion of two discreet men, be sent to Springfield to solicit such interposition. Resolved, That said deputation be furnished with a certified copy of this resolution and be authorized to obtain evidence by affidavit, or otherwise, in regard to the violence which has alre,ady been committed,und is still further meditated. As places of encampment, the following were ap pointed:—Warsaw, Carthage, Green Plains, Spil man's lrtnding, Chili and La Harpe. A central cot respondent committee of 8 was appointed and a reso lution adopted that constables in the different precincts hold themselves in readiness to obey the officer in possession of the writs, whenever called upon, in sum moning a posse. About six stand of arms have been received at IVar saw from Quincy. The citizens of II ancock county were to rendezvous at the places appointed for en campment, on Wednesday last. Several hundred Mormons, most of those hostile to the Prophet, have left Nauvoo with their property. Jo had laid an in terdict on further emigration. F M Higbee, one of the publishers of the "Expositor," escaped Cron Nau voo in disguise. The whole county were preparing fora contest, and concentrating their force fur an at tack on Nauvoo on last Wednesday. At Warsaw, a small town some 13 or 20 miles below Nauvoo, at the foot of the Rapids, all suspected persons were placed under arrest, and a patrol appointed. It was expec ted that Smith would have property of Foster and Law declared a nuisance and destroyed;—especially a Mill belonging to Law, which cost sls,ooo!—Cia. Cont. Mr.Dorr.—The Supreme Court meet again, 'mow ding to *liniment, to give the opinion of the Court on the motion in arrest of judgment for want of juris diction. There tan be no question as to the decision of the Judges on this point. It was brought up in the commencement of the trial and the prisoners waved all objections to the jurisdiction. It is a principle of English common law, as old as Mangan Charts, that, for sufficient causea person may be removed from one county to another for trial in the impossibility of procuring an impartial jury in the county where the offence is cemmited. TheCouit will decide against postponing the sen- tence and it will probably be pronounced on Monday: and immediately put into execution.—.-Providence Transcript. DALY THE ROBBER. The following is a letter dimmed to Thomas War ner, Esq. Counsellor at Law, 18 City Hall Place, by the unfortunate man, Daly,' tnatediatedy proceeding his act of self distruction. AI,IIMIT JAIL, J, June Ist 1844 RESPECTED Strt,—This morning the Court *eaten temced me to five years imprisonment in the State P,ison at Sing-Siegi they did not ask me if I had any thing to say, or made scarcely any remark. Of course it is useless for me to make any comment. I still con fidently believe, you kind sir, will do what was in your power and knowledge by oathr—lndeed all you have promised me, -for which service I willl honestly pay you. My wife, lam satisfied from all she has seen will untiringly render our good advice to do whatever a deserted woman is able to perform, and with the firm trust under God I rest allured you will be the means of obtaining my liberation for the Divine Providence does all for good. I remain your obt. and grateful servt. P S Could my wife in a short time obtain a situa tion in the Govet nor's or any of his suite's house as childs nurse or chamber maid Immediately before COM mitting the fatal act, and one hour after the above letter was written, he wrote on a piece of paper the following: "0 most merciful God! forgive me, a poor distress ed, miserable sinner, for thy dear Son's sake, Jesus Christ! Amen!" This letter seemes to have been called forth by a promise made by some one at Albany to the wretched man that ifhe would - make certain di sclonres and plead guilty, a very slight punishment would be inflicted. and his wife at once liberated and set free, and which was not complied with. Officer Kellinger arrived here this morning with the wife of Daly from Albany, and she i• provided with a comfortable apartment in the City Prison for the present, and will be handed over to the Moral Reform Society. ANOTHER FLOOD The present unprecedented rise in the Missouri is spreading destruction throughout the river counties in the western and northwestern portions of this State. The Missouri had risen several feet at St. Joseph, on the 13th inst., within the previous 24 hours. The crops, fences and stock had been swept away; many buildings destroyed; and some lives lost. Its expec ted to rise three or four feet higher. From Weston to Glasgow the e low lands are com pletely inundated, and every wood pile swept away. Kansas bottom is submerged,the Kansas river running entirely across the Missouri. Every farm in that region is under water, and the crops are probably des troyed in toto. At Liberty landing, the warehouses and bottom was submerged; also Camdeh bottom to the depth of four or five feet, and the bottoms oppo site Lexington, Boonville, Rocheport, St. Charles, &c. The amount of property wilith has been destroy ed is incalculable. The steamer Missouri Mail, on her hip down, was hailed from both sides of the river, end compelled to stop ami render assistance to the inhabitants. The Illinois river is still on the rise, and all the lands near its banks are inundated. The water is up to the houses on Front street in Alton. At this point the river is higher than it has been be fore for a long series of years. The water is over the lower floors of the most of the stores on the levee. The wharf is entirely submerged. Most of the Ameri can Bottom and illinoistown are entirely covered, the water being from six to eight feet deep in most places. A flat boat ferry has been established between the op ptisite bank and l'ap's house. Yesterday one of the fetry bonts left this side of the river at the intersection of the Market street and passed to the bluff's, ten miles distant, via Illinoisetown and Cahukia. The low lands below us on the river are entirely covered with water. and the crops of tobacco, cotton, sugar, &c., in m•iny instances destroyed. The pres ent flood, we fear, will prove the mJst disastrous which has heen experienced for a long period in the Missis sippi Valley. As the water is still rising here and above, we know not what further losses may yet be sustained.—St. Louis Reporter. Murder of a Boat's Crew at Madagascar.—Cap ruin Bailey, of the ship Eaterprise, which arrived here yesterday from the Indian Ocean, reports the British frie,ate Cleopatra, at St Simon's Bay, April 9.orh, re pairing—having been upon a tee{ about 60 miles N. of St. Augustine Boy, 36 hours, high and dry. By means of rafts she was got afloat. A boat's crew, with a lieutenant, sent to take up the stream anchor, which haul been left near the reef, was attacked by the natives, and eight, (including the lieutenant) killed. and three wounded. Though the frigate was only a short distance off; the attack was not perceived by her. After the murder, the natives made a speedy retreat. [New-Bedford Bulletin. Conriction.—At the last term of the Court In Cleve kind, Ohio, Lyman Kendall, for purloining money from the Cleveland Bank, was found guilty and sentenced to three years imprisonm"nt. His counsel had ap plied for a writ of error, which will stay proceedings if allowed. This case has been the subject of much speculation and excitement, owing to the wealth of Mr. K. and the high standing of his family. A Formidable Weapon.—The editor of the Savan nah Sun examined, and describes, a• rifle that can be discharged fat ty.loo times in about one minute and a quarter. It has but a single barrel, parallel with which is a brass tube containing 42 charges. The butt of the gun is hollow, in which is deposited the apparatus that loads the gun, puts on the percussion cap, pricks the cartridge, and discharges the load.— Instantly. by drawing three external finger pieces, the the barrel is again supplied with a fresh Cartridge, again capped and fired. The inventor is a Mr, Bald win. Counterfeit Gold Coin.—The coiner at the mint at Dahlonega, cautions the public against counterfeit quarter eagles which are in circulution. They pur port to have been struck at the mi it in that place in 1843. Each quarter eagle issued from the mint con tains sixty-four and a half grains; but these are found to weigh only forty and a half grains, on cutting the edge with a knife and applying acid, they were show en to be composed of brass, (composition of zinc rind copper,) and gilt either by the electrogalvanic process, or by the ordinary modes of gilding, as the acid would not effect any part but where the surface was removed. The appearance as to color was tolerably good. Kreounterfeit Quarter Eagles have been detec ted at the Dahlonega Branch Mint, Georgia. They are only two-thirds weight, and the date '1843.' is in distinct and poorly done Look to the weight; it should be G4i grains. The Impostor Bradish.—Gen't Bin(lish, alias Count Eliovich, the notorious impostor who figured largely in Philadelphia and Portland, has appeared in Servia, calling himself Consul General of the United States. The American Minister at Constantinople has very properly denounced him as an impostor.— The true history of this knave would be curious. We regard him as the boldest and most shameless rogue of his class alive. How he contrives to escape from the meshes of the law, is the great wondgr! He has been convicted of crimes in various countries, and in several instances has been sentenced to imprisonment, and yet he is found at large and in the corstant prac tice of some new villany. We should not be surprised to find him in the end crowning his consummate im pudence by the publication of an account of his various rogueries. Such a work, written with fidelity, would indeed be a curious affair. It would moreover form an admirable exposition of human gullability. B . .7The legislature of New Hampshire adjourned on Wednesday last to meet again on the 20th November next. The session has been but of fifteen days dura tion—being the shortest regular session ever held.— Abner Hogg, Esq., the member from New Boston, is in the 86th year of his age, and is one of the few sur viving heroes of the revolution. He not only recol leas the minute particulars of the battles, but with the greatest accuracy gives the day of the month upon which events occurred, the fatigues, the dangers, the exploits and the sufferings of the soldiers of the revo lution. Mr. Hogg has lived in seven generations of his family—he recollects his great grandfather, grand father, father, and be has seen his son, grandson, and great grandson, making with himself saran genera ticns. He has been married 60 years, and during that tine, he and his wife have resided on the same spot in the same house. Mrs. Hogg is in ber 82d year, .4% Philadelphia paper says , a yorerg girl, about or 14 years of age, daughter of Mr' Fisher, in Fourth st., above Master, has bees the subject of a most re marksble physical phenomenon, which appears almost incredible. Fer near two years past - she had berm un able to walk and to speak. During the time of the riots, the dwelling of her father, in Cadwallader at., was destroyed by fire, and the family, took refuge in the woods, in the snrburbs of the county. This girl was among those helped to this retreat, her muse:ci ting the strongest sympathies of those who knew the circumstances of her condition. Her alarm on the occasion was one of the most excruciating character, but what is the singular feature of the whole affair is the fact that she has recovered her speech and her powers to walk, and is now in possession of her nato. ral faculties. The case is one that has confounded all who have been acquainted with it. There is little doubt in the minds of those conversant with the cir cumstances, that to the fright occasioned by tbedestroc tion of her home and the precipitate flight made by the family, may be attributed her wonderful restora tion. JOHN DALY Another Abuse of America.—Mr Featherstonhanghp who traveled through this country several years since as a Geologist, has been writing a work about the United States, which is said by the English journals to surpass in virulence of abuse the famous works of Trollope, Marryatt, Hall and Dickens. The London Spectator says, "Uncouth language and behaviour, even on the part of females, offensive and disgusting conduct by the men, habituiritlasphdmy, with pure unmitigated blackguardism and ruffianism, and an u niversal worship of mammon superseding every other object in life, stand out strikingly in the travellers's I pages; whilst his plain-spoken, straight forward man ner, give an air of truth to his pictures." The Die Vernon took up on Monday evening', sever al pieces of ordnance and stands of arms to Warsaw.

The funeral will take place this afternoon at 5 o'- clock, from the residence of her Father, Robert Dun lap, J r., Beaver street, opposite the Methodist church, Allegheny Friday, June 22, 1844. A good deal of business continues to be done upon the riv'rs and canals, which remain in good order for the advanced season, and a good fair business is still doing in almost every department of trade, and busi ness altogether this spring and summer has been good in our city, and a vast many goods and Pittsburgh manufactures have been sold and sent to all quarters of the country. Also, a vast deal of goods and all kinds of morchandize has arrived from the Eastern cities and passed through Pittsburgh, to all parts of the West, North and South, and a great deal of Flour, Bacon, ‘Vocal, Cotton, Feathers, and western produce has been brought up in steam boats and wagons and been sent to the Eastern cities and by our Pennsylva nia Canal. Rice is scarce and advanced a little; ao order this week nt 3} from Cincinnati could not be filled in our city; holders ask 31c per lb by the quantity.
