BT "Zech," a writer in the American, having taken
the trouble to measure the ground occupied by the great
whig man meeting at Broadhurst's, gives its dimen
sions as 39 yards square, and by allowing two square
feet to each person, makes the number in that area
4050. Now, if this area seas densely filled, and if,
modern whigs can have "ample room and verge"
enough" to swing their caps, and hurra fur Clay and
Frelinghuysen both, in the compass of two square feet
each, then "Zach" is correct in his deductions. But I
other deductions inevitably follow from the same prem
ices, to wit: that the whigs about these diggins are
very small potatoes; and that our fat friend of the A
. merican is- in himself a host of whiggery—a Triton
among the minnows. Whew !only think of condens
ing whig enthusiasm at a such a rate—in the dog-days;
—none but a narrow-minded man could entertain the
idea. Why this is worse than the black hole of Cal
cutta,—it would be cruelly to smoked herring to pack
them so. We doubt much if Gwynne's hydraulic
prep could effect it. . We'll befit can't be done with
Greasy Jim—his "stearine" will occupy more space af
ter the oleaginous principle is exuded. We even have
our doubts as to the Deacon—but he might go it, if
carefully placed edgewise. We would suggest as a
means of testing the accuracy of Zach's calculation,
which seems to have a more tangible basis than whig
calculations generally,—tbat the experiment be made
with "the fifteen whigs." Let them be placed, the
whole 15, in a pen 5 feet by 6, (which is exactly the
ratio of space allowed them by "Zach,") keep thetn
there tuttfl. M'Clure inflicts a funny speech upon them,
to make them laugh, and Forward one, to make their
hearts swell within them, and if they don't acknowledge
that they could "breathe deeper and frecer"
else
wherewe'llgive in. But the Gazette indignantly de
nies
thet it claimed the whole Fathering as a whig one
—the deacon says it was comprised in part, of loco
locos and liberty men. These, undoubtedly, from sheer
perverseness, would be for having the largest liberty
for their elbows, and thus still further "scrooge" their
wing neighbors, now if all this don't show that the
wings were "in a tight place" at Broadhurst's, Zach
must acknowledge that he is.
FT The Gazette of yesterday copies the following
'falsehood from the Uniontown Democrat :
" A • PAIR ADMISSION.—We understand that Mr.
Lowrie, of Pittsburgh, who addressed the Locos un
Monday night, was frank enough to admit that Mr.
Polk was opposed to the Tariff, and he told his
brethren their only plan was to elect a majority to
Congress who were for the Tariff—and thus, while
they were electing Polk, to provide nt the same time
stalest say miackief that he would be bound to do,
eluded! He speaks also against the admission of
cent The speech, we are told, came upon the Polk
ices like a shower bath in Jannuary."
The misrepresentation is put forth under the very '
. convenient covering for a falsehood, "we understand."
The editor takes special care not to be responsible for
it, "termini he find any one in his party that will. Mr.
Lowrie made no such admission, he could not make
such an-admission, for, we suppose that he, in common,
with every other democrat in the district, regards Mr.
Polk as a :better friead to American industry than the
man, who, according to the Gazette, "throttled the
Tariff." It is by such misrepresentations alone that
our opponents have any hope of misleading the people
into the support of Henry Clay. They call him a Tar
iff candidate,yet they dare not refer to their own opini
ons of his tariff principles. They call him the Champi
on of American industry, yet they shrink from giving
the public the history of his conduct, and the conduct
tibia leading friends, in relation to the present Tariff.
They know th at the records of Congress will show that
ha bas done mom to cripple American Manufactures
than any other man in the- country; they know that, as
Mr. Denny said, he united with the nullifiers of the
south against the manufacturing interests of the north,
and by,that anion, according to their own statements,
he managed to " throulo the Tariff" and spread ruin '
and tilatess throughout the country.
These facts deter the wings from discussing the Tar.'
If principles of their own candidate, but to make up
eirwhat they lose by his hostility to domestic industry,
thermigteprosant the opinions and expressions of dem-
Oca l a, and try to make them appear as obnoxious as
throe they have charged upon Clay. Bence such
greendkss falsehoods as the one copied by the Gazette
-about Mr. Lowrie's speech at Uniontown.

"O, SCISSORS ! "— There was a meeting of the Na
tive Americans at a Talkies shop in this city, to take
measures to promote that cause and to cut out work
fur the ensuing campaign, and likewise, to sew up a
remnant of our foreign population. Our informant
says it seams to him tint the person who was most con
spicuous in the meeting, pants to disfranchise every
foreigner, and that he is opposed to all round-a-bout
measures to accomplish that purpose. He could not
catch the thread of the speaker's discourse, but in what
he did hear he understood him to say that foreigners
were the mere shreds and patches of society; they
were continually sponging upon the Natives, and,
however much they might attempt to cloak it, he knew
that it was their design to cause a rent in our form of
government, and_to rip up our re.puhlican institutions.
IVe have not seen the proceedings, and are unable to
speak more decidedly of the sentiments they adopted.
Of one thing, however, we think we may speak with
certainty, and that is, that the foreigners got a sound
basting from those who took part in the meeting
Tnotames, political and financial appear to be cree
ping into the partyof the "Natives" at Philadelphia.
The late riot has done great injury to the cause in a
palitical view, and from several notices in their paper
we infer that their agents have been backward in sup
plying the funds. The party is already dissolving, and
the more cunning members of it are grubbing all they
can before it falls to pieces.
A nrsß FOR S•RAToGA.—A letter from Saratoga
' Springs states that the arrivals by railroad, from Jul•
12th to July 17th, both inclusive, were as follows:—J u
-12, 218; July 13, 215; July 14, 103; July 15, 130;
July 16, 202;July 17, 157. Total, 1025. 'rho ar
rivals by stage and private conveyances have probably
been five or six hundred more, so that the aggregate
number within the last six days has not been less than
1500. The number of visitors now in the village is
over 3000; and the next week's list will tell much lar
ger than any ichidb has ever preceded it in the month
of July. What a jam!
ANoriftrt FALB F.HOOD.—The Gazette announces
that the " Locofocos" have backed cut" from the
challenge of Mr. KNox, from Cumberland county, and
some other whigs, to discuss certain topics. Now
such is not the fact. The Democrats have no objec
tion to discussion, but the Whigs should nut be per
mitted to select all the subjects, and make all the ar
rangements. They want to discuss Tariff and an
nexation; the Democrats will meet them, but they
must also discuss the Bank question, which Mr. CLAY
says is " superior is importance" to the Tariff; and
they must discuss the Bankrupt Law, which Mr. CLAY
aided in passing, and which be voted to retain, in
violation of his instructions as a Senator. Dare the
whigs discuss these questions—especially the Bank
question, or do they "back out?"
rgrls there any truth in the following paragraph?
We find it published in our exchanges from all quer
' ters, but here we can find no person who has any
kuowledge of the parties or circumstances. Those
(who started the report can explain, we suppose.
LirTwo cases cf breach of trust came to light a
few days since in Pittsburgh. One is that of a young
married man, formerly a partner in a house %%bleb fail
ed there. He was entrusted with $lO,OOO, and in
struct:ons to buy pig metal on the Cumberland river.
Unfortunately, after purchasing and paying $lOOO, he
fell into the company of gamblers, and lost $3000;
then, in hopes of recovering it, followed them to an
other place, and again played and lost $3OOO more.—
Finally
he went to St Louis with the balance, leaving
his employers minus $9OOO. The other case is that of
a young man, unmarried,who was entrusted with some
$4OOO or $5OOO by a kindhearted friend, which he ran
uff with.
Cocumeetts.—The talented editress of the Boston
Transcript speaks of an old and highly respectable
though somewhat eccentric physician of • former times"
in Boston, who was asked one day by a patient his o
pinion of the cucumber for the dinner table--whether
it was not pernicious to the stomach and difficult of di
gestion. "You are sick," said the doctor, "and lay it
all to the cucumbers." Now I happen to know what
you had for dinner to-day, and pronounce that it is not
the cow-cumbers tbathave hurt ye,but the d—d huckle
berry pudding which came afterwards!"
MlSalts. EDITORS.—In the Gazette of the 23d inst.,
I perceive there is a challenge, to the Loco Foto party,
to discuss, certain political questions, on the stump,
"Tariff, annexation, &c., to which I would add, United
States Bank, bankrupt act, (which, by the by they un
derstand to a eotch,) distribution, assumption, &c.
The discussion of these questions, I think, would have
a good effect, in our part of the county, at least.
FINDLEY.
The coons will scarcely gratify "Findley" by per
mitting their darling principle, a United States Bank,
to be discussed on the stump. That is a question they
will not permit to meet the " public eye," until they
have an opportunity of fastening it upon the country,
and then they will swear that they were always in favor
of it.
White Water Canal.--We understand that Mr.
Valette, of Cincinnati, has taken the contract of finish•
ing the White Water Canal to Cambridge, and ple4g.
es himself to have it done in one year. This is glad.;
ous news for the White Water Valley. There is no
doubt about the contract, or the contractor's ability to
finish the work by the time stipulated.

FO!! Tet POST.
THE TARIFF IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
The great outcry &our whiz orator'. Is about the
Tariff aad Mir yeomanry are caned on-to 'tote fo the
whig ticket to liedusiallee present Tar& It is even itre
tended that the z deinticriuic party is not so friendly to
proteetion - MS the whip. This is the game of the
whip just at Mi. time. Even the editor of the com
bined Gazette and Advocate now has the impudence
to insinuate that our party cannot be misted on that
subject. He pretends to think the workingmen of the
democratic party are not in; strong friends of a Tar;ll
which protects them, their wives and children, as are
' the whig counter-boppen who sell British and French
goods in Market and Wood streets. That editor,
however, knows better; he knows all our party are
Tariff men. His present Job printing ally, the late
editor of the Advocate, the whig half of the Gillette
and Advertiser, George Parkin. understands the mat
ter and can enlighten White if he needs light. But I
do not rely upon assertions, but can give facts to show
that the whip know that democrats are the friends of
protection and are willing to trust them when it suits
them.
I need not refer to the notorious facts, that the lead
ing whigs in this county have, during the last twelve
years, again and again supported democrats for
the legislature and other offices. I need not refer
to the fact that in 1891 when George Darrie the pre
sent whig
candidate for Senate was running against
Edward: D. Gazzarn, the democratic candidate, the
whigs brought out William Little for the purpose of
defeating Darsie and electing Gazzarn. I need not
remind e editor of the Gazette that the Advocate,
than conducted by his present ally, George Parkin, then
preclaimed that Mr Darsie "muse be defeated at all
hazards," even at the hazard of electing Gazzam.
What plainer evidence could the) give that they pre
ferred Gazzam's election to that of their present can
didate? Will Deacon IV bite dare to say that tho whigs
would have preferred the election of Gazzam over
Darsie if they supposed that the election of the former
would be an anti-Tariff victory? ,Surely not.
But we need not go back three years or even one for
evidence thvt the whigs have confidence in the demo
crats upon the Tariff question. On the second Tues
day of last October, William Wilkins, 1-1. M Brack
enridge, and Neville B. Craig, were the candidates for
Congress. Mr. Brackenridge was a whig and a Tar.
iff mar,. Mr Craig; all admit, had been an untiring and
faithful friend of the protective policy; his uniform
course as an editor left no doubt upon that subject.
Well, the election took place, Wilkinsed that was elected and
a few days after the Advocate declar "at least
one thousand whigs voted fur tirilkins." If Mr Whitel
has forgotten/ this, Iris present ally, George Parkin, can
refresh his memory. Now, I would ask, dare Deacon
Whits say that those "one thousand whigs" at least,
would have deserted their own Tariff candidate, passed
by Craig and voted for Wilkins, if they had believed
that be was opposed to protection. Surely he will not
dare to do so.
Now we come down to our present campaign. C.
Darragh and A. Brackenridge, are candidates for Con
gress; C McKibbin and that same George Darsie,
whom the Advocate wished to defeat at all hazards in
1841, are the candidates fur Senate Surely no man
will pretend to assert that Win. Wilkins is a better
Tariff man than Alexander Brackenridge, and surely
George Daraie is no more a Tariff man now than he
was when the Advocate proclaimed that he must "be
defeated at all hazards."
From this brief retrospect it is manifest that this cry
about the Tariff and Free trade and about the "Loco
Fucos" being opposed to the former and in favor of the
latter is mere trickery. discarded in 1841 and '43, but
used very boisterously in 1849. just before the elec
tion in 1341 the Whig organ proclaimed that G..orge
Darsie "must be defeated at all hazards," and per
haps in October, 1844, the same organ may cry out
George Darsie "must be elected at all hazards." Are
the yeomanry of the country to be thus humbugged?
I opine not.
In 1843, according to the Advocate, "st least one
thousand whigs voted for Wilkins." in preference to
Judge Brackenridge Why then should they not vote
for Alexander Brackenridge in preference to Cornelius
Darragh?
A DEMOCRAT.
A Dreadful Tornado al Chamber:burgh, Pa—A
Paper Mill Destroyed.—. 4 letter to the Philadelphia
Inquirer, dated Chamberaburgh, July 19th, says:—“l
write in haste, to inform you of the destruction of tho
large paper mill on the bank of the Conecocheague
creek, in this town. A tornado passed over this place
about '2 o'clock this afternoon. It lasted but a few
minutes, but when it had passed, this extensive buil
ding lay a mass of ruins. There were seventeen or
eighteen persons in themill at the time of the occur
rence, all of whom were got out after considerable ex
ertions. Among them were Dr Culbertson, sen., the
proprietor, who escaped with some severe bruises and
scratches—his two sons, Dr Edmund and Mr John
Culbertson; both are severely injured; a little boy
whole a grandson of Dr C. wbo is very badly burs; seven
or eight females, some of whom are very badly injured,
and five or six men, some of whom are also badly
hurt. This mill was erected several years since, at a
cost of $30,000. It was employed entirely in the man
ufacture of straw paper and binders' boards; large
quantities of which were in it at the lime of the acci
cident. The Tornado passed from NWto S E. and
was very violent; we seemed to be just on the edge
of it, for the sun shone brightly while the rain poured
dawn in torrents. I understand !Italic has done much
injury to crops, buildings, trees, &c. in the country.--
The wind seemed to go with a whirling motion, twis
ting off trees, &c. in its course."
Lynching.—ln Panela, Mississippi, a few days ago,
a case of lynching occurred, arising out of the case of
a laborer in the employ of a clergyman in Holmes co.,
in said State, who stole from him a colored man, two
horses, and his two little daughters.one twelve and the
other ten, and left for Texas. He was caught at, or
near Helena, Arkansas. It was the intention of the
fellow to make a wife of one of the little girls, and the
colored man to have the other. By terrible threats
they bad prevented the little girls giving alarm. No
violence bad been offrred to them when they were over
taken, and it is believed, by conversation which was
overheard, that outrage upon them was prevented by
the colored man. Both culprits were marched into
Panoli, hand-cuffed. The citizens hearing of their
arrival, and the circumstances attending, assembled,
and formed an extra judicial tribunal, appointed a
jury of twelve men, who sentenced them to be severely
cowhided, the sentence to be executed one upon the
other. This was accordingly done—the colored man
receiving thirty-five lashes and the white man twenty
five. They were then handed over to their guard, to
be taken to jail in Holmes county, for further punish
ment by the regular constituted laws.
Rum and Murder.—A man named John White,
the keeper of a drink shop in Memphis, Tenn, was
shot and killed on the 10th lost, by a person named
Perkins. It appears that Perkins had been using very
indecent language befOre the door of White, which
reached the ears of the females within, at which White
remonstrated, whereupon Perkins,intoxicated no doubt,
went off and armed himself, and returned, when a
quarrel ensued, during which White seized him by the
throat, when Perkins drew a pistol and shot him
through the lower part of the breast, killing him almost
instantly.
A Subject Jot the Gallows —Under this head the
New Haven Courier gives an account of a lad some
34 or 15 years of age, who stuck up a considerable
quantity of three fourths inch tacks on the sidewalk,
heads on the pave and points up, which was in:doubt.
edly done that bare-footed children, in passing might
suck them in their feet! What rascality and diaboli
cal villainy for one so young.
One of the diabolical practices of Benedict Arnold,
when a boy, was to strew broken glass bottles in the
path of the little barefooted school children of his na
tive place. His subsequent history was in keeping
with his early promise, and though he did not expiate
his offences on the gallows, the close of his career was
such that the agony of the "patent drop" would have
been pleasure in comparison.
Sabbath Convention atgarettoga.—By a Circular
signed by the Mayor of Albany, the Mayor of Troy
Chancellor Walworth, and about seventy °them, ,a
State Convention is invited to be held at Saratoga, the
second of August, when the Rev Dr Nott,Dr Edwards,
and some of our leading statesmen, are expected to

ARKANSAS INTELLIGENCE.
-The Arkansas papers comes to us filled with "mur
ders, rows, stabbinp shootings," etc. etc. At the
"Great Ball Play° between the Puseanatahaw and
Puckshuanubbe Districts of the Choctaw Nation (the
former being victorious) which came off on the 18th
ult. an individual named Harris Fraisnre was shot by
the Captain of the Light Horse, but the ' wound did
not prove dangerous. A white man was stabbed
in two or three places. The game produced consid
erable excitement which engendered quarrels--and
these ended in a recourse to pistols and knives.
The Van Buren Intelligences contains the particu
lars of a horrid murder commuted in the Choctaw Na
tion for tho gain of the trifling sum of $BO or sloo.
The deed was perpetrated.on the military road leading
from Fort Smith to Fort Towson, upon the ridge
which divides the waters of the Arkansas and Red
Rivets. A family was returning (torn Texns to Ar
kansas, in company with which were two men named
Goddard and Burgess.
The latter had a horse, and when they reached Ki
a-mi-thi, a stream about twenty miles from the divid
ing ridge, towards Red River, he persuaded Goddard
to leave the wagon,
as they could travel faster by al
ternately riding and walking; this G. acceded to, and
they left the wagon. When in advance of the wagon
some distance, Burgess murdered Goddard (who had
some eighty or one hundred dollars) and partially
burnt the body of his victim. Burgess was instantly
pursued.
Iris said that Burgess is on his way to Missouri.—
He was well armed with pistols aid bowie-knife, and
mounted. His expression was exceedingly fierce,
dark, and sinister. St Louis Gazette.

only 14 men, defeated a body of Comanches, Wacoes
and Mexicans, numbering over 75.
The P icayune a fter giving the letter from the Houston
Star, descriptive of the battle, says: "It was a "fair
standing up fight," and the Indians never evinced
greater bravery. Twenty-three of them worecounted
dead upon the field, and as many more are known to
have been wounded, many of them mortally. No shot
was fired at a distance of more than eight or ten steps,
with the exception of the last, a fact which shows the
desperation of the conflic•. Of Col. Hays' men,

perity.—An interesting fact has come to our knowl
edge, which we think will impress our sober and mer
cantile community unfavorably as regards the effects
of this principle, carried out into practice. New York
and Philadelphia merchants are constantly in business
connection. During the recent riots in Philadelphia,
Borne $250,000 worth of paper signed and endorsed
by Philadelphia merchants of good standing, for goods
bought in New York, were offered for negotiation at
the New York banks. They were refused on the
groand--" that however high those merchants might
stand on thattlay, the next morning might witness the
destruction onion. houses and stores, and themselves
reduced to beggary." The paper was sent back to
Philadelphia to remain there on deposit.
Another fact is that a wealthy merchant who had
been trading abroad came to Philadelphia, - with $200,-
000 to spend the rest of his life there and to invest his
property in real estate. He liked thuair, and the
people, till the riots came up. when, although he had
commenced the erection of a house, be moved to New
York and took up his final residence there.

The whigs have lately had another important acqui
sition to their ranks; we mean David L. Child, Esq.,
who until recently, was. the able editor of the National
Anti Slavery Standard. He addressed a mass meet
ing of the whigs at Northampton, a few days since,
and spoke for two hours, with tremendous effect.
Mr. Child has always been a raving whig, and for a
long time edited one of the most virulent whig papers
in Massachusetts. He is the - Man whom Mr. Web
ster pointed out, daring one of his political speeches
in Faneuil Hall, as "his friend in the gallery."
