"Tut HARRY OF THE Ws..sr," a sheet whose un itertunate name is enough to destroy it in the estima- Iti* of the people of this county, attempts with most etandalous effrontery, to deny that HESRY CLAY spoke with disparagement and contempt of our city and the means of communicatOn with it. We shall not waste — time in commenting on the shameless mendacity of that paper, but simply copy in reply to it, the sketch of a debate (on the 11th of August, 1841,) in which Mr CLAY used the insulting language. That citizen of Pittsburgh mast be spiritless indeed, who can / give •Itis vote for this abusive Kentucky demagogue. It is • most marvellous that he has the presumption to ask • the vies of those he "spat upon but yesterday." • ft will be seen that the citizens of Pittsburgh are in -debted for their defence from Mr Clay's slanders and • falsehood; to our great Senator, Mr BUCHANAN. He %rebuked the malignity of Mr CLA towards our city, • even as he saved the Tariff of 1842 from the malig - nantasstiults of Mr CLAY'S special friends in Congress, - who doomed its death and did their best to compass it: "In the course of the discussion Mr. BUCH•fq AN save Mr. CLAY a little gird as to the nature of his adarsion to Pittsburgh as the site of the armory. "Mr. CLAY opposed the appropriation for the Western armory. Ile said all the Whigs of the West 'egn Slates but two in the House had voted against the armory, and the reason Was that they believed, as he -did, that the President [Mr. Tr 1.-te.] would select -Pittsburgh as the place. NOW, Mr. CLAY said he was 'utterly opposed to the selection of Pittsburgh, stand ting as it did at the head of the Ohio river, in regard 'to.wbich it it had been well said by Mr. RANDOLPH, ViAti tit torts dry half the year and frozen the other. '!Mr. BUCHANAN expressed his surprise at Ilan at tack made by Mr. CLAY on Pittsburgh, and the fact which he stated as regards the Whigs of the West. And why was Pittsburgh assailed ? Was it because, by an overwhelming msjority, they had refused to con demn the vote of their Representative against the misetahle Bank bill of tie Senator of Kentucky ? Was it because they had sustained the veto in advance cf sustaining-the vote of their representative in accord: ance with the principles of that veto? Was Pittsburgh, 'to be denounced for this cause, and the West deprived of an armory, because the Senator and his whip friends '-feared that President TYLER might select Pittsburgh -es the site, which was the ye* place that he ought to select ? "The Western Senators—Whig and Democreic— saw through the motives of this opposition It/ a greet Western interest. They understood how all the Whig Representatives from the West were operated on to .deny a special benefit to themselves, recommended at the came time by high Government security. Not a solitary Senator from the West, we believe, hut Mr SMITH onntliana, united with Mr. CLAY and his col leagues in apposing a IVestern armory. They did not •deem it proper to make the question of arming the !people of the West with arms derived from their own -skill and industry, und the rich m.tterials of their own greet valley, a party question. And they voted to reject the amendment of the Ilouse excluding the ar mory, notwithstanding the proposition or igi oared with Mr. BZS TOM . and was left fur its consummation to the -discretion of President TYLER." .ALttafiENT COUNTY.—It really amusing to no --tics the efforts of the whig papers in this city, to muke of the defe,:tion of such men as Ctaig, Sutton, Dr. Elder. Dr. Carothers, and a host of others from %the party which supports Clay. The American, a mong •otber arguments, says that CI aig has no influence—he was the lowest anal: 'nig nnl Antimasonic ticket That paper carefullravoids mentioning the fact that Mr. Craig bad issued a card condemning, in decided .meirns, the mode in which that ticket was nominated. That paper also forgets, that, in consequence of that -card, the Advocate, the whir, organ, turned against Craig arid took with it many bitter whigs. Not con sent with all this suppression of truth, that paper goes .11'step farther, and asserts the bold falsehood that Mr. Craig was the /owes/ on the ticket. Now that editor, and all our citizens know, that Mr. Craig was electet in defiance of the opposition of the Advocate sold the whig masons, and that Mr Rubinson, a Clay man, supported by the Advocate, was defeated. So That Mr Craig, an enemy of Clay, opposed by the Clay paper, outran a Clay man, who received the suppot t of the Clay organ, thus proving the unpopularity of Clay in this county, or the idluence of Craig. The Ameri can can choose which. Goon. Soon after the publication of Mr Pet it's 'Tariff letter, a gentlenian came up t) a knot of whits with a United States Gazette in his hand, from which he read that document as coming from CLAY. The • coons were delighted—they declared it vras the 'very • thing,' dt contained the 'true doctrine'—a tariff for rev enue war what they wanted—Potts dare not come out thatway, &c. 4E4. After hearing these very flattering opinions of the letter, the reader of it suddenly discov ered that he had made a small mistake in reading the signature at its end—th•u t}-nse excellent opinions on "the tariff, were from the pen of des K POLK. the dem- Aecratis candidate fur President! It was teeny emus- Ang to see the distress and vexation of the poor coons -they squirmed terribly, but soon recovering them selves, with charactelistic impudence and inconsisten cy; they attacked the letter, and showed conclusively, that, with them, what was 'good tariff doctrine' front 4... LAT, was rank free-tradiim if coming from Polk. 'Guy. Portrta.—The conduct of this functionary, during the late riots in Philadelphia, is deserving of the highest praise. To his prompt and energetic co ition we are induced to attribute the quelling of those tftingfill disturbances. He has the nerve and the cou urace:for snob an emergency, and if the military officers lor hati'posseireed a tithe of his spirit and decision, the nett would have been finished before he got to the eiry. , A SHALLOW TRICK.—"t he Gazette is, beyond [twit tion, capable of meaner and smaller things than any paper in this Union. In publishing Cr.. 11 's RA LEIGH SPEECH, he purposely omits what the orator says of abolition. His speech in the Gazette is very hand somely art anged under different heads,' Distribution," "Concluding Remarks," &c. Between these two di visions there stands in the true copy of the speech, the fullowing important paragraph: "On the subject of Abolition, T am persuaded it is not necessary to say one word to this enlightened as semblage. My opinion was fully expressed in the Senate of the United Statu u few years ago, and the expression of it was one of the assigned causes of my not receiving the nomination as a candidate for the Presidency in 1839. But, if there be any one who doubts or desires to obtain further information about my views, in respect to that tmfortimate question, I refer him to Mr Mendenhall, of Richmond, Indiana" "Ah," thought the Gazette roan, "It won't do for the abolitionists to see this reiteration of the insult to Mr MEN DZXHALL. I'll suppress that entirely. The abulitionists all took my paper when I belonged to 'em, and if I don't print it, they won't see it any where."— And he grinned at his own cunning deck,. as he finish ed his soliloquy. Will some friend furnish us with CLAY'S reply to Mr Mendenhall—it's none of our business, but we should like to reprint it for the Liberty men. We are told that the AMERICAN also suppressed this precious morceun—the "squatters," however, who manage the - I yof the West," bud not "gumption" enough to see the effect of it; they put it in; they are not halfso cunning as the Deacon. A VOTE ON IHE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.—There was a voudue at the house of Mr F. BLACK, in Pine township, in this county, on the sth of July. After the business of the day was finished, it, was proposed to take a vote on the Presidential question. There were 21 persons present, who voted as follows: Fcr Polk, 20 " Clay, 00 Doubtful, 1 Is it from crowds like this, must sapient young coons, that you are going to get the old Harrison majority for Clay in this county? Extract of a letter to thi editors, dated HARRISH3ROH, July 9. MI GF.NTLILMEN :--The good people here have been quite excited upon the subject of the Philadelphia riots. The latest accounts represent that peace and (I,lk-west have been restored in some degree, by a dastardly compromise made by a dastardly sheriff and acceded to after some trouble by the military. There is a fear ful state of things existing in the city. No one could have supposed that such a demon-like spirit could have been aroused there or elsewhere in our country. The Governor is at the scene of disorder, and will do his duty. There hare been several Democratic meetings held here lately—they were well attended, and the best spirit manifested. The fourth of July celebration passed off in the most gratifying manner. It exceed ed any celebration of the kind, that has been held here for several years, fur spirit and enthusiasm. So far as we have been able to learn, this spirit prevails throughout the state— the Democracy was never more firmly or better united than it 13 at present. Gentlemen,—The Democrary of Indiana ccanity are in fine spirits, united and enthu=instic,—every man prepared to do battle in the glorious cause. On Saturday, the 6th inst. we raked a splendid hickory pole, one hundred and thirty feet high, from which floats a splendid national tine., vrith the name s of Yolk, Dallas, and Muhlenhiargb imicithed tln , reuti. Editut ru:.t. 13y the following letter front onr correspondent, re .:eised last night, it will be seen thut order Atli] reign ed, although sumo apprehensions are entertained of another outbreak ; PHILADELPHIA. July 10, 1844. David Kathcart and Thomas C. Saunders , wounded by the first fire of the military, both died at the hospital this morning. The only topic of conversation. and the subject that should most be avoided, as leading to angry dispute, is that of the fire of the military, and as to w hether they intend marching into the district again. 3 o'clock P. M —The Aldermen of Southwark have made an arrangement by which they have agreed to surrender time church to a representative of the con gregation. This is to take place this afternoon, and this representative is to employ a Certain number of men to guard it. I saw the certificate of the Bishop, by which be authorizes Mr. John Doyle to take pas session of the church for the congregation and himself, as soon as the authorities deemed it ex rdient to do sc. I am fearful of the consequences of this meamure.— I think those who on Sunday determined the destruc tion of the building have only been restrained by the knowledge that it was in the possession of the Alder men, where indeed they had caused it to be placed, and now that this restraint is removed, some demon stration will he made against it by the rioters. If this is made the interests of the congregation will require its representative to cull upon the military. If called upon they can •ot refuse to come; and by these means the very step will be taken by the military %% hich the citizens of Southwark so much wish to avoid. LOUISIANA ELFCTION• Front the Picayune, July 3. The Election.—The election of Monday last reset ted in favor ufJ B. Grymea, Dem., to the convention from the Senatorial district, by a majerity of 43 votes over his whig competiter, Martin Biache. Esq. Messrs C Roselius, A Mazareuu, C M Conrad, .1 P Benjamin, W C C Claiborne and J Culbertson, all whigs, were elected to the convention from the Parish, while Messrs P Soule, B Marigny. 11 13 Cenas. and G Eustis, Democrats, were chosen to etc same Aire. Of the ten members of the State Legislature snven are whigs. viz: Messrs M Cruzat, A Pine, J Lavergne, A D Crussman, D F Burthe, F. Gardere, and L Du vignaud. Messrs C Gayarre, B G Fanteneau, andC F Daunoy wero elected on the Democratic side. The Baltimore Son says tha the official votes ap pear to be held bark on account of the dispute rela tive to the "Elliott" voters. The Democrats claim a majority of 43 in the popular vote, as they have elec ted their delegate to the convention, whilst the Bee now says that the average whig majority on the Le gislative ticket is about 100. For Congress, in the First District, Mr Slidell (Dem) had no opposition. In the Second Municipality.-which composes a part of the Second District, Mr Thibodaux (whiz) has a majority of 161 votes. In the adjoining parish of Jef ferson (also a part of the second District) the voting continues three days. Mr Labranche, the Democrat ic candidate, it is admitted, will obtain a majority in that Parish. The Courier claims the election of five Democratic members of the Legislature, contending that certain votes, which it says are illegal, will pro duce this result. The Republican has no doubt of the election of La blanche. Dreadful Accident—A man named JOHN DODGE:, an Englishman, was instanCy killed at a stone quarry, near Fairview, Allegheny county, under the following circumstance= It appears tbut he had. drilled a hole in a large rock fur the purpose of blowing it, and af ter having put in the charge, made two or three un successful attempts to set it off, he at length concluded to drill out the load, and commenced drilling for that purpose, when it is supposed, a!thoughi a large gatin tity of water had been poured in the hole, a spark was communicated to the powder and it went off with a tremendous explosion, instantly killing Mr Dodge, his body being horribly mangled.—Leto Foco. MNSM Correspondence of the Post Eztlact of a letter dated INDIANA, July 8, 1844 BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL. LATER FROM PHILADELPHIA (Correspondence of die Baltimore Sun.) IE:=EME111111=111=11111!=111 The Mormons.—lt appears that tho Mormons have quietly submitted to the law. The City Council of Nuuvoo pawed the following resolutions on Monday last: Resolved. For the purpose of ensuring peace and promoting the welfare of the county of Hancock, and surrounding country, that we will rigidly sustain the laws, and the Governor of the Stat., so lona as they, and he, sustain us in all our constitutional rights. Resolved, secondly, That to carry the foregoinv ' olution into complete effect, that inasmuch as the Gov ernor has taken from US the public arms, that we so licit of him to do the same with all the rest of the pub lic arms of the State. Resolved, thirdly, To further secure the peace, friendship and happiness of the people, and allay the excitement that now extsts, We will reprobate private revenge on the assasinaters of General Joseph Smith, and General Hiram Smith, by any of the Latter Day Saints. That instead of "an appeal to arms," we ap peal to the majesty of the law, and will he content with whatever judgement it shall award; and should the law fail, we leave the matter with God. Nothing is now to bo apprehended unless the mob should commence the work of assassination again, in which event we do not doubt that Gus. Ford will promptly discharge his duty. He enjoys the confi dence of all parties. Capt Anderson, of the Osprey, arrived yesterday, states that he stopped his twat at Warsaw, whilst Mr Jonas, the State Comm ssiGner, addressed the citizens of that place. He appealed to them to aid the Gov ernor in his efforts to preserve the public peace, but no a, - proving response was made. '•On the contrary, ono gentleman stepped from the crowd and statM that a committee of citizens were in commonication with the Governor on the subject, and that their determination was that either the Mormons must be compelled to quit the country or they would." We trust that Gov Ford will act decisively with the turbulent spirits at Warsaw. Their conduct, if cor rectly represented, is a disgrace to their town and to the State.—St Louis paper. MOBISM The it Louis thzette in speaking of the late mob which caused the death of the Mormon impostors, says: "If deeds like these are to pass unpunished, the sooner the free Republican Government of which we boast becomes an absolute monarchy, the happier for us all. A single despot with his armed mercenaries, if be does oppress Us, will have the power to protect us against the oppression of the ten thousand insensate and infuriate deiipota of THFC Mon! The Republican pronounces the deed "unprovoked murder," The Reporter say,:—"The conduct of the mob at Cottage cannot be justified." The Reville ears:—'•Joe Smith has been "Lynch ed," while under the protection of Governor Ford and the Laves.'" The :New Era says: — 6 . t was cruel 111141 cowardly to murder the unarmed prisoners when rimy had sur rendered thernsekes and were in the custody of the laws." In fact, the Pies:, of St. denounces this bloody deed. without a dissenting voice. SIIOCKING ACCIDENT IN HAVERHILL. A dreadful accident tx•cnrred at Haverhill. N. 11., on the eventig of the 4th inst., by which one person, a daughter of Simon Rodimon, was killed, and about thirty others injured—some of them severely.

Singular Affair —A young woman, a stranger, reached the house of Aoselm Mollere, at Coteau St. Helene, pari4} of Assumption, La , on the f2lst after haying traversed a great distance through the woods. Being interrogated as to the place of her birth, her name and the names of her relatives, she re fused to give any information. However. by force or entreaties. she at last allowed some words to escape her. The words uttered by her at different times, were " Vincennes," " Mon Seigneur," " Dubuc," "Laurence." and the "Dames Victorine." There is nothing extravagant in her manner; ono object only seems to ,wecupy her mind, that of proceeding continu ally onward .. Without caring fur the direction she may take. It appears that 110 L murk time has elapsed since she assumed this mode of life, for she still pre set wee indications of TX life more appropriate to her sex. Her complexion is sum what browned by the sun, her bands are still delicate, her hair is black, beautiful and car-11111v dressed, and tier I..rm slender, and of ordinary height. She speaks the French and English fluently. The Exact Truth.-1 he N, Y. Tribwie, with a csuul , o which we honor, alluding to the trick to make it appear th ir this last riot is one in which the Catho lics or the are engaged, says, with singular truth —'•There can be no shadow of ground for charging the origin of this tiot on the Catholics or Irish. On the contrary, it appears to have originated entirely in the efforts of the authorities to overawe the ruffians who assumed the garb of Nativism to cover their in cendiary and murderous designs. and in the deter mination of those ruffians to break into and destroy a Catholic church•—This is the literal truth." The Lower Mississippi.—.A Vicksbutgh paper of a late date, estimates the loss already sustained by the overflowing of the Mississippi, between the mouth of the Arkansas and Vicksburgh, at 40,000 bales of cotton; and says that if the river should rise six inches more, and continue three weeks longer, there will be very few crops on the river saved. From Harana.—Accounts from Havana state that the Captain General of Cuba has determined to sup press gambling at all hazards. A number of persons, convicted of playing monte in open day, have been lined and imprisoned. General O'Donnell has posi tively refused the British Commissioners to liberate any of the ' Emancipados," or negrues captured lung ago by British cruisers, and who, having served their probationary term, are entitled to their free papers, under the treaty with Great Britain. Thera are up wards of 5000 of these unfortunate people, all of them entitled to their freedom, upon the faith of the British government. Every thing is nos, quiet in Cuba.— There are above one thousand persons confined in the different prisons under convictio,:s of suspicion of hav ing been engaged in the late attempt at revolution among the negroes. Every free black in the island is said to have been engaged in the plot. A vast number, no one seems to know how many, have been shot.— there are several white men charged with being in some way concerned;among them two Americans, who will most probably be shot soon. _ - - - We issue the "Reporter" for the Ist of July a few days in advance, in older to guard our subscribers a gainst a number of the most dangerous frauds which have ever been passed upon the public. It appears that some time since the dies, vignettes, denominations, &c. &c., of the bank note engraving house of Durand & Co. were sold at auction, and now they have fallen into the hands of counterfeiters, who, are manufacturing counterfeits on the banks in every section of the country. The engraving being of a su perior order, there is but little difference between the counterfeit and the genuine notes, and in some cases it is impossible, oven for good. udges to say, with certain ty, which are good and which are bad. The counter feits which have recently come re our knowledge, are 1000's on the Bank of New-York Dry Dock Co. This is a very imposing note, about an inch longer and a half an inch wider than bank notes in general. red back, and the denomination on the back. We believe the Dry Dock has no notes outstanding 100's and 50's on the Batik of Manchester, Vt.— The hundreds have, for a vignette, a female floating in the air, holding the flag of the United States and a shield accompanied by a spread eagle. The denomi nation on the right and left of the vignette is indica ted by the Letter C, in a circular die about the size of a half dollar; the filling up and signing is in good imita tion of the genuine, and appears, to be done by a change of ink and hand writing. The fifties are some what similar to the hundreds, tho vignette is a winged female—it is placed nearer tho latter end. and there is (me circular die, of about the size of a half dollar sur rounding the denomination: the paper is of u light whitish and pliable character Wedd not recollect of ever having seen bills of these denominations on this bank. 2O's on the Mechanics' Bank of Baltimore. On this counterfeit there is an Indian holding a tomahawk erect. In the genuine the knuckles of the hand which grasp the handle of the tomahawk are visible; where as. in the countet feit, the hand appears as though it were covered with a mitten. • This is the only differ ence we could discern on comparing closely the two notes. Fifty dollar notes of the old broken "Citizens' Bank of Augusta, Maine," have been altered to the "Taun ton Bank, Mass.," and "Traders' Bunk, Previdence," and also to the "Traders' Brink, Newport." They are exceedingly well done, and the-alterations are dis• cernible only by holding them to the light. The frauds have for a vignette a female, an eagle And an urn—an eikrt has been mnde to counterfeit the names of the effieers of the hanks on which they purport to be. Several hundred dollars of these frauds were taken by one of the Maine hanks and sent to Boston, where they passed one bank anti went to Suffolk, before be ing discovered. Thompson's N. Y. Repoiter. r_WThe. Following paragraph from a late number of the Edinburgh Scotsman, will be interesting to many of our,roaders, as showing the condition and prospects of the Free Church of Scotland The Free Church of Scotland.—The account given by Mr. Twzintx of the finances of the Free church on IVedoesday morning. beautifully illustrates Ihe power of the voluntaty principle. The Sustentation fund had already produced £70.000 and will afford £lOO a year to the 970 ministers who resigned their liv lugs, as well as to 113 who have been ordained since the disruption. Besioes this, 1:230.000 has been expend ed, or is now expending, in the building of churches., £50,000 has been subscribed htr -rrcting schools, at d £32,000 for missions. Adding what congregations have raised to supplement the salaries of their minis ters, he calculated that nearly half a million had been contributed to the Free church, and chiefly within the last six months. lie estimates the adherents to the Free church at a million, which, in our opinion, is much above the truth: hut the mare we reduce their numbm-s, die mare we magnify their virtue.

He can point out future events in life, and the difficulties which lie before them ; and when the mind is in suspense or anxiety, whether it is in anticipution of what is to come, or on account of events which have passed. and whether their anticipa tions will ever be realized; and further, whether they are separated from friends, as well as tell whether they will ever meet again, whether in health or sick ness, and whether they are to be permanently situated in a place or not; as well as to cure in many cases the sick headache, king's evil, and swellings which have not broken out; and many other things, such as to tell of the place where stolen goods are concealed, if the same can be pointed out to him 30 that he can get a knowledge of the things lost,• and other things of a similar kind.
