who was much struck by them. A report spread that
he had thoughts of re-establisbing the Order of Malta,
end that one of them would have been made Grand
Master. The brothers Stuart, surnamed the hand
some Sent 4, were teceived every where with great dis
tinction. A number of orders covers the breast of the
elder, and in his Scottish costumo, adorned with his
numerous decorations, and enveloped in mystery, be
appears surrounded with a - magic charm.
IVhat conclusion is to be drawn from all this?
am nut called on to &ciao. lam net naked, "whet
is your opinion on the subject?" I shall give no other
answer to thin lineation, then the sentence which is in
vcribeA on the tide page of my book. "I do not judge,
I relate."
I had promised myself the pleasure of visiting the
Isle of Millis; a noble lady residing in that part of the
country, the mother of Lord Lovett (Mrs Frazer)
came one morning to Red Castle; she was commis
siened.by Lady Lovat. her daughter-in-law, to invite
me to pass serne days at Beaufort Castle. She promised
to conduct mow the abode of Charles Edward's grand
children; I accepted her off e r eagerly, and we set out.
There, beneath trees hundred years old, in a soli
tude, where one seems to transport a thousand leagues
from civilization, stands a building, the architecture of
which is the style of the middle ages, with ancient
windows and painted glass. This strange hermitage,
shaded by firs and oaks, has the pediment of a noble
mansion, on which are displayed the arms of the Scot
tish monarchy. Underneaththe escutcheon of Charles
Edward is this affecting inscription.--" The Lord gave,
thelord bath taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord!"
The two Stuarts were absent. The wife of the
youngest came alone to meet us, aid welcome us to
her abode. The principal part of the ground floor of
this interesting dwelling was occupied by a long hall,
hung round with flags. The walls were covered with
trophies; several statues were placed there; and the
rays of daylight, which could only penetrate through
windows gloomy as those of a cathedral. gleamed in
the most fantastic martinet amid the harmers, °gives,
and effigies of his warlike canotuaiy. There were
collected together all the memorials of Charles Ed
ward; his arms, his banner, his garments, his portrait.
I admired his tine and noble countenance, which I
then beheld for the first time. A picture painted by
John Sobieski struck me much; its subject was "the
battle of Culloden." Charles Edward is represented
on a bay horse, bounding across a wide precipice in
the midst of a storm cloud: The wind blowing in vio
lent gusts, agitates the white plume of his Highland
cap, the symbol of which is a white rose. His plaid
is floating around him—his drawn sword is in his hand.
His features and eyes wear an expression of resolute
despair. HIS Highlanders, half concealed beneath
the cluuds oldest and smoke, from whence the shades
of the sons of Fingal seem to be rising in tears; stretch
out their swords towards him, forming a ith them a
broad shield above it's head. A ray of immortal
brightness is gleaming o'er his forehead, from the
midst. of the standards, the sit ords, and the tempest—
he appears radiant amid misfortune.
The execution adds picture is as fine as the con
ception. Opposite to it hangs into no lONS remarka
ble—" Napoleon at. Waterloo " The Emperor is
mounted en a white horse, which is bearing him
through the midst of the wind arid the storm. Here
are blood and rail.; there levels and corpses. Two
meteors illumine his path; one in glory—the other a
thunderbolt.
No immagination, however cold it might be, could
remain calm and it ithore emotion under the roof of
the brothers Stuart. Charles Edward is married; his
brother is mill single; they never leave each other.—
Both of them wear habitually the Highland costume;
there tartan, like that of their grandfather, is red, with
green squares, and the white rose is their symbol.—
Learned, and end.,wed with rate talents, they culti
vate the arts and literature. Their, personal beauty
and. their distinginslied manners are such, that they
could not travel through Scotland a few years ago,
without awakening the enthusiasm of the Highlanders;
indeed, there was some who only waited for a word
frem their mouths to rise in their favor, and claim the
crown for them once more. But the Stuarts, simple
in their tastes, quiet in their habits, and rejecting eve
ry ambitious thought, have adopted the sublime senti
ment of peace anti resignation, which they have en
graved over their dwelling—" The Lord gave, the
Lord bath taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord !"

SOUTII itV ARD MEETING.—The democratic meet
main in the South Ward, on Thursday, was a very
large gathering, and astoni*hed some of the whip;
who were present to pick up items.
After the ward business for which it was called
had been transacted, the Hon. Arnold Plemer,
of Venango, was called fur. This gentleman,
it is well known, was a member of Congress in 1842;
lie is an Iron Master, and is deeply intorested
in the establishment of a tariff that will afford pro
tection to the business in which he is engaged. Mr.
I'. voted for the Tariff in all its stages; he was known
:o be one of its most untiring ft fends, and he was con•
suited by all its advocates in both parties. His in
formation on its passage was practical; he knew the
feelings of every member on the subject awl the mo
tives that influenced them for and against the bill.
Ho examined the history of its passage, and expos•
cd the vileness of the Whigs in claiming it as a Clay
roam]
Particular attention was called to the Kentucky del
egation, and on examining the vote it will be found
that every whig from that state, except two, voted
against the bill. Tlse exceptions wore Messrs. M An-
SHALL and POPE, and 'since that time they have been
denounced and driven out t , f the Whig party. It was
well understood that the Kentucky enemies of the
Tariff voted in accordance with the wishes of Mr.
Clay; none of his friends at the time would dare to
deny that he desired the defeat of the bill, and after it
had been vetoed by President Tyler, on account of the
distribution clause and the tax on Tea and Coffee—
provisions which were warmly advocated by Clay's
friends—they wished to adjourn Congress and go
home, leaver the government without any means of
revenue, throw open cur ports to free trade,and by fail
ing to pass a Tariff bill, completely crush every branch
of domestic industry that is not able to cope with the
cheap labor wrung from the poverty stricken opera
tives of Europe. But the friends of Clay failed in
their purpose of killing the bill—us the, threatened
they would do—through the efforts of the democrats,
and the honest whigs who would not obey Clay's dic
tation and vote against the manufacturing interests of
the country. It was carried by a majority of one—
airty-fire whigs, including Clay's " White slaves"
from Kentucky, voting against it, and sixteen others
dodging it. It went to the Senate, and among those
who assailed it most bitterly was Mr. Crtryr Kernels,
the mm who succeeded Mr. Clay, and who came into
the Senate fresh with instructions front Ashland.
He united with the Kentucky delegation in the other
House in throwing all the obstacles he could in the
way of its passage; he at the last moment an.
nounced that he would vote for it but with great re
luctance. Mr. CHosTE, a wills Senator from Massa
chusetts remarked, that ho did not thank him for his
vote—that he had dune hII he could to kill the bill,
and that he was entitled to no credit for giving it a
cold vote at the last moment.
With these facts known to the world, the Whigs have
the brazen impudence to claim the present Tariff as a
Clay Tariff. They dare not deny that Clay fled from
his place in the Senate, to avoid voting on it; they dare
not deny that his successor opposed it; they dare not
deny that every whig from Kentucky, in the House,
except two, voted against it for political effect, and that
the two who would not go "with the White slaves" in
their efforts to "kill the bill" have siuce been read out
of the party; and more than all, they dare not deny that
more than ayear after the passage of the bill, Clay pro
fessed ignorance of its provisions, declined expressing
any opinion upon if, but thought that if there were
any defects in it, they ought to be corrected. Yet,
this Turiffof which be knew nothing about—on which
be would not express an opinion, is now claimed by
the modest whigs as a Clay Tariff !
Mr. Plumer's remarks were listened.to with great
attention by the meeting, and his clear, convincing ex
posure of the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the whig lead
ers in attempting to palm Clay upon the country as a
friend to the present Tariff, when it is well known that
histools did all in their power to kill it, was received
with loud cheers.
After Mr. Plainer left the stand, Col. B. B. TAYLOR,
of Ohio, was called fur. This gentleman is ono of the
most eloquent and powerful political speakers among
our Buckeye neighbors, and is ab:e at any moment to
vanquish a host of the federal spouters. He took up
the whig measures (principles they have none) as de
veloped in 1840; he exposed their disregard of every
principle that was for the benefit of the country at large;
he proved that all their struggles were for the incorpo
ration of a National Bank, and that such an institu
tion established in the manner they desire ir, would be
nothing more nor less than the integral principle of the
whig party, and that in all contests its name and influ
ence would be used against the people, and in favor of
the party that brought it into existence. Mr. Taylor's
arguments on this and other topics that engaged public
attention in the present contest, were those of a States
man who fully understood the questions cf which he
spoke. We regret that we cannot give a sketch of his
speech for the gratification of those who were not pres
ent., but the crowded state of our columns will not per
mit.
This meeting indicated t'm spirit of enthusiasm that
animates the democracy of Pittsburgh at the present
rime. It was a ward meeting, called at 24 hours no
tice, and no one expected that the party out of the ward
would attend; but we were very agreeably disappoint
ed; long before the meeting organised the large enclo
sure was. crowded. and the multitude Lontinued to in-
crease during the whole evening. This gathering gave
the coons some id-a of the fooling that animates tho
democracy, and the hosts that will rally at a moment's
u-araing to put down the man who "throttled the
Tariff."
Loots OUT.—There probably will be a monstrous out
in the Gazette, this morning, about a pretended
strnightout from the Liberty party to Cloyism. Now,
let no one be deceived by this. This so called straight
out was a Harrison man in 11140,—at least ho had a
'Harrison flag over his store. Moreover, we arc credi
bly informed that he -tought a nomination for Mayor
from the whig party, last winter. He did not get it,
but\probably he got the promise of it for the next heat.
Now we advise him, by all means, if this is the case,
to hve an article, like the editot of the Gazette, to
make ill things straight, or the whig. may bamboozle
him as tlwy are trying t.) bamboozle the Deacon. His
renouncement will not weaken the party he abandoned.
r.....V1t is painful for us tobe under the necessity of cor
recting the frequent falsehoods of the Gazette in relation
tuthe Putt, in addition to exposing hismary and griev
ous political sins. We do not wish to be speaking of
ourselves, when we have more important and interest
ing matters to discuss, but there is nn article in yestet
day's Gazette which requires a brief correction.
The editor pretends to have received a communica
tion from some one, complaining that articles have ap
peared in the Post slandering the "friends of the Bi.
ble," and that its columns are filled with 'Popish mat
ter." Both these charge; are false. To those who
read our papet and know us, it is unnecessary for us to
say that we never published a line against the 'friends
of the Bible." We have published several letters from a
Protestant gentleman in Philadelphia—a worthy mem
ber of the church to which the canting hypocrite of the
Gazette professes to be attached—relating the outra
ges committed by the mob and the daring impiety of
such ruffians as Andy McClean, the prize fighter, and
his hand of outlaws assuming to be the champions of
the Bible. The letters front this Protestant gentleman
and the extracts from the recent work of Dr Dumas,
a Protestant clergyman, is what the Gazette calls
"Popish matter," and todenounco such law contemning
scoundrels 33 McClean, a ruff ran and outlaw by pro
fession, this hypoct he considers nn attack upon the
friends of the Bible.
In the religious disputes of he day we take no part
through our columns; we assail no sect or creed, and
however much we may differ from the opinionsof some,
we arc ready and willing to defend all in the enjoy.
meat of the lights guaranteed lo them by the laws.
We have never interfered with the opinions of others
or attempted to excite the hatred and prejudice of the
community against a portion of our fellow-citizens, on
account of their religious principles, as this "Holy
‘Villie" of the Gazette has done time after time. In
all we have published of the ri,:ts there is not a sen
tence assailing any sect, and all the letters that have
been designated us "Popish matter" have been writ
ten by firm, unwavering Protestants. This is well
known to the miserable tool of the fifteen whigs, but
he is too innately vile to deny himself the pleasure of
slandering a cotemporary whenever an opportunity
offers.
'arThe Gazette publishes au aiticle from die Lai.-
caster "Union," stating that Mr Ch,y was a Mason
"ticciusr years rigo." Does the deacon wish his read
ers to believe that he does not consider Mr Clay to be
a Mason at the present time! If he does, we think we
can show him to the contrary.
Gr Many persons wish to know whether the whip•
have been successful in raising the $4OOO required to
buy out the editor of the Gazette. We believe they
have not yet succeedvd, but they hive stro• g hopes
that they will in a shut t time, as many whip who have
heretofore stood aloof are coming to the rescue on ac
count of the increasing difficulties into which Deacon
White is running ihe purty.
FRIENDS (IF THE TARIFF!
Bear in mind,that of the whiz delegation in Oaf House
of Representatives, from Ky., in 1842, au. BUT TWO
voted against tliepresent Tariff Bill. Those t.vo were
Messrs JOHN Pura and THUS. F. MARSHALL.
Bear it in mind, that the major ity of the whig dele
gation in nppcsing the Tariff of 1842. were well under
stood to have acted by the advice of HENRY CLAY.
Bear it in mind, that OW9LKY, WHITE, a nd the
other whit's who opposed the Tariff, are cherished and
honored by their party, while Fore and MAR3I4ALL
are now acting in opposition to CLAY and his party.
Bear it in mind, that the votes of OWSLEY and
WHITF: have been endorsed and signally approved by
the whigs whn are now running OWSLEY for Gover
nor, and who have, since his vote against the Tariff,
re-elected WHITE to Congtess, and run him for Spea
ker.
Bear it in mind, that HEN cy CLAY left the Senate
of the United Salle!, and returned to Ashland, to avoid
voting on the Tarif Bill.
He knew that he would be h candidate, and he was
afraid to vote on the question.
Let the true friends of the Tariff remember these
things, and then say if the claim of the whigs that t'ley
are the true friends of the Tariff, is not a most impu
dent assumption.
nir FREI. INGHLI YSEN AND NATIVE AMERICANISM.
—The following lettaris from the whigeandidate for the
Vice Presidency, on the exciting subject of Native A
mericanism. We published, a shot t time ngo, an ex
cellent letter from Mr. FRELINGMUTSEN, on the sub
ject of the Cillyduel. We judge from the tune of the
following, that he differs from Mr. Clay as much on the
Native American question, as be did in the matter of
the duel. Although we know Mr Frelinghuysen is
committed irrevocably for the Bank and other federal
heresies, still we take pleasure in giving any redeem
ing (acts in his political history.
NEW Yoax, July 4th, 1841.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor is duly received and its
inquiries are cheerfully answered. Since my residence
in this city, as Chancellorof the Universiry, 1 have
felt it to be my duty to its interests to retire very much
from party politics, except so far as the sacred right of
suffrage is concerned. I have had no connection with
the Native American party, nor have I now. I have
never spoken but in decid II condemnation of the mob
scenes of violence and blood in Philadelphia, and
have had nothing to do with the matter of division of
the school fund between Catholics and Protestants in
New York. Indeed your inquity is the lust intimation
1 have had that such a subject has been agitated.—
Allow me to say, gentlemen, in the general, that I
cherish the principles of our Constitution which al
low full freedom of conscience and forbid all religious
tests and establishments, as sacred and fundamental.
Yours, very respectfully.

ARREST-POLLY BODINE AGAIN
Apron Adolphus, of this city, wan arrested and held
to bail on Saturday, on a warrant issued by B. B.
Phelps. Esq, Supreme Court Commissioner of Rich
mond County, on a charge of perjury. The complaint
and affidavit were made by Mr Morrison, counsel for
Polly Bodine. The offence alleged to havebeen com
mitted took place at the late trial of Polly on Staten
Islan, where it is charged that Mr A,:olphus swore
that he did not know a certain man in Germany by the
name of Cortze, which it is said, is the one ho bore
himself before he left Europe.
It will be remembered by those who read the trial of
Polly Bodine, that Mr Adolphus was the pawnbroker
with whom that woman pledged the watch and other
jewelry belonging to the murdered Mrs Houseman,
and that he identified her as the person who brought
the articles to his store. The testimony being very
important, it is thought that if he can be got rid of at
the next trial, Polly will stand a better chance of be
ing acquitted. An attempt was made at the time of
the first trial to impeach the testimony of Adolphus,on
account of the alleged perjury, but the judge charged
the jury that false swearing in another matter could
not invalidate evidence which was corroborated by oth
er evidence, such as the possession of the watch by
Adolphus, and his delivering it to the Coroner, &c.,
and particularly the absence of all probable motive to
swear falsely.
The affidavit of Mr Morrison, counsel fur Polly, sets
forth that the alleged perjury was material to the is
sue in the case of Polly .Bodine. On this ground the
warrunt was issued. — N F Epress.

DESTRUCTION OF THE COURT HOUSI
We regret to have to record the total destruction by
lire ofthe Court House in this city This deplorable
event took place yesterday morning, at about tw•o
o'clock.
The devout ing element was Dot subdued, in spite of
every exertion, and the two upper stories of this im
mense building were totally destroyed. thus involving
the Province in an immense expense to replace it, be
sides causing serious inconvenience in the delay of ju
dicial proceedings.
We are informed that no papers or records of any
consequence fell u prey to the flames, the major part
of the documents having been removed to the vaults
beneath the buildings, as soon us possible after the first
alarm.
Various rumors are afloat as to the cause of this ca
tastrophe. the two most prominent of which. are in the
first place, that it was caused accidentally by the neg.
ligence, of some workmen employed in effecting some
alterations in the building, and in the second that it
was an act of diabolical incendisrism, perpetrated by
an individual who obibed to destroy some evidences
which wrrc deposited there to be produced against
him en his trial. We should rather incline to think
that the tire was accidental. It is providential that
the records in the Produmottiry's office were saved;
their less might have been attended with set ious con
sequences to individuals.

LATER. FROM JAMAICA.
W e have received a tile of the Kingston Morning
Journal to !he 99th ult.
The excitement which was in the islund by the in
telligence that her Majesty's ministers contemplated a
reduction in the duty on foreign cotlee and foreign free
labor sugar, was very great. I n the various parishes,
meetings had been held t,, protest against these Metl•
sures. A proposition was on foot to send a deputation
of laborers, or small settlers, from every parish in the
island, to Great Britain, by general subscription, to
represent to her Majesty's Ministers the serious inju•y
which will be entailed on their class, if Government
persist in their contemplated measures, without at the
same time reducing the duties on Colonial sugar and
coffee.
There had been a good deal of sickness, and an un
usual mortality at Kingston, but no contagious or invet
erate disease was known to prevail.
Some of the Haytian families who took refuge in
Kingston, from the late troubles in that island, had re
turned in the Royal Mail Company's and French
steamers, and other families aro preparing to leave.
The population of Kingston, including about 1,100
Haytians, temporary. tesidents, according to the lute
census, is less than 34,000.
J. Dougherty, Inspector of Prisons, was to leave
shortly for the U.States, bY way of Havana, to inspect
the State Prisons of the Union, and, if possible, those
of Havana, during his short stay in that place as well
as to ascertain if any further means could be adopted
for carrying out the sentence of the Jamaica Courts
for transportation of certain notorious offenders.
The Despatch states that the Lady Sewall, which
sailed from Port Antonio on Saturday the 9th inst.,
with a cargo of Provisions for Falmouth, Tretinwny,
when off Blowing Point, was capsized in a gale, and
two seamen were drowned. The master (a white man)
and three hundred id dare in worth, it is said on board.
He and another who swian to shore, narrowly escaped
a watery grave.
The census Was taken in the island of Grenada on
the 3d June. The Free Press, estimates the popula
tion of St George's at 4,990, and the total amount of
the island population at about 26,000, being much less
than previously supposed.
The scheme to promote free immitation into Tt
iui
dad from the Coast td . Africa, by sending a transport
to convey passengers thither from Sierra Leona, hav
ing failed, has been abandoned.
The Barbndoes Globe, of June 3d says:--"The wea
ther for the last fortnight has been highly favorable to
the manufacture of sugar, while at the same time, the
occasional showers which have fallen have been very
beneficial to the crop planted for 1845, which, we use
happy to hear, promises to be a Tinge one."
In our paper of the :Id May (the same Journal re
marks) we gave the quantity of sugar exported for
the present year at 6402 hhds, 310 tons and 109 bbls.
Up to this date, reckoning the quantity on board ves
sels in the bay as well as those already sailed, itreach
es close on 12,000 hhds, or a little less than half the
crop looked forward to as the return fur 1814.
PUT THIS IN CAPITALS!
DANIEL WEBSTER—the godlike Daniul—the im
tnottal "Black Derry—the great gun of Whiggely all
over the Union—whose words used to be regarded as
"confirmation streng as Holy Writ"—no longer ago
than September 30, 1842., uttered these precious con
fessions in a public speech, delivered to about
THOUSAND citizens of all parties, in Faneuil Hall,
Boston. Read and reflect!
pr "IT IS NOT TRUE, THAT THE TAR
IFF SYSTEM WAS PASSED BY THE WHIGS
ALONE !"
IMP "WE ALL KNOW THAT T H I R T Y,
SOME OF THEM LEADING AND INFLUEN
TIAL WHIGS, VOTED AGAINST THE TAR
IFF, OUT AND OUT, ON ALL QUESTIONS,
DIRECT AND INDIRECT."
IT IS A TRUTH, THAT IS MORE FA
VORABLE TO THE CAUSE, THAT A LARGE
PROPORTION OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY
CAME IN TO HELP THE TARIFF THROUGH,
AND TO RESCUE IT FROM THE INSTABIL
ITY OF MERE PARTY SUPPORT."
Elegant extracts these truly! We wonder whether
they wilt ever find their way into the Telegraph and Ir
telligencer, whose editors would Cain induce the world
to believe that every whig is a Tariffite, and every dem
ocrat an antkariffite? Stick these admicsions at them,
Democrats!— Union.
