Even Mrs. Pugwash saw an al teration in her husband; and th -ugh to him she said nothing, she returned thanks to her own sagacity that made him seek the Conjuror. "At length one night arrived when Lotus had pro, mind to bring home the soul of Pugwash. Ile sent his wife to bed, and set with hist:yes upon the Dutch clock, anxiously awaiting the conjuror. Twelve o'- cloclestruck, and at the same moment Father 'Lotus smote the doer post of Isaac Pugwash. The conjuror deposits the soul'Of Pugwash in the till, and t ak es his departure. For some minutes Pugwash felt himself afraid to stir. For the first time in his life he felt himself ill at ease—left as he was with no other company save his 'mss soul. He at leer h took heart and went behind the counter that he might see if his soul was really in the till. With trembling hand he thew the coffer, and there, to his amazement, squatted like a tailor upon a crown-piee, did Pugwash behold his own soul, which cried-out to him in notes no louder than a cricket's— " How are you? lam comfortable." It vas a strange yet pleasing sight to Pugwash to behold what he felt to be his own soul embodied in a figure no bigger than the top of his thumb. There it was, a stark naked thing with the pteciae features of Pugwash; albeit the complexion was of a yellower hue. "The conjuror said it was green," cried Pugwash ; "as [ live if that be my soul—and I begin to feel a strange, odd love for it—e-itis as yellow as a guinea. Ha ! ha! Pretty, precious, darling soul !" cried Pugwash, as the crea ture took up every piece of coin in the till, and rang it with such a look of rascally cunning, that sure I am Pugwash would in past times have hated it for the nick. But every day Pugwash became fonder ttad fonder of the creature in the till ; it was to him such a counsellor, and such a blessing. Whenever the old flower-men came to did door, the soul of Pugwash from the till would bid him pack with his rubbish; if a poor woman—an old customer it might be—begged for the credit of n loaf, the Spirit of the Till, calling through the slit in the counter, -would ccmmund Pugwash to deny her. More; Pug-- wash never agt.in took a bud shilling . No sooner did ho throw tine po;:ketpiece upon the counter, than the voice from the ti!l would denounce its worthle.sness.— And the soul of Pul;w:ish never quitted the till. There it lived, feeding upon the colourof the money, and en perine, and rubbing its scoundrel hands in glee as the coindropt—droptit. In time, the soul of Pugwash grew toeing for so small a habit:aim,. then Pugwash moved his soul into an iron Lox; and some time after, he sent his sett] to his banker's—the thing had waxed so big and strong in gold and silver.'' "And so." we observed, "he flourished, and the conjurer took no wages for all he did to the soul of Pugwash?" "Hear the end, said the Hermit. ''For sumo time, it was &growing pleasure with Pugwash to look at his soul, busy as it always was with the would buying ranals At length he grew old—very old: and every day hiss ,u 1 grew uglier. Then he halted to look up on it; and then his soul would come to him, and grin Its deformity at him. l'uvvash died, siiiieking, in his madness, to Ice saved the terrors of his own soul." "And such 'he end." wo said; such :Ile Tragedy of the Till. A Strange rerndeee." Alto[her Rioter killed by his Associates.—Robert Lyons, whose death we mentioned yesterday, it ap pears was one of those who pursued the company of Montgomery Hibernia Greens, on the 17th inst. till one of them named Gallazer, ran into a house at the cor ner of Fifth and 5m.,1l streets, for safety. He was pursued into the building by Lyons and several other rioters, who overpowered him, beat him, and took his musket from him Lyons heid thil gun out of one of the windows of the house, when a boy in the crowd, thinking ):te was going to fire, drew a pistol from his pciket and shut him in the aim.

CHANGES ! !--Having nothing but had news from every qusrter,the whigs have resorted to man ufacturing changes which never took plate, with the hope that they may mislead the people by such false lights. Most of these teported changes are old oppo nents of the democratic party, or traitors who have been trying to disorganize it for years past, and the ba lance, we suppose, have been copied from the tomb- stones. As an offset to the imaginary changes paraded in the columns of the Clay papers, we subjoin a short list of changes from the whig, most of them to the democia atic party, that we find in our exchanges, picked up at random. We will begin with Harrisdie Electors of 1840 tyke will support Polk and Dallas. Hon Wager Weeder, of Rhode Island. Hon Peter Bierce, of Connecticut. Hon Gulian Verplanck, of New York. David Stewart, of Maryland. B. Kidder Meade, of Virginia. Howell Cobb, of Georgia. Late Whig members of Congress who will support Polk and Dallas: Hon S G Gholson, of Vu. now ono of the Judges of the Superior Court. Ilon James Garland, of Virginia. Hon Julius Alvord, of Georgia, one of the ablest NVlrig stump speakers of 1840, known as "the great war horse.' Hon Absalom Ii Chappell, of Georgia, elected on the whig ticket last fall by a large majority to the pres ent Cut:gress. lion George W Crablt of Alabama, one of the most popular men in the state. In Indiana, among others, we have Major Mace and Judge Uneaten, who were wing candidates fur Con gross last summer. Gen Felix Houston, one of the most powerful pope lur orators in the south west. John M Gregory, late Acting Governor of Virginia. Thomas H. Burrowcs, (Secretary of State under Governor Ritner,) and his two brothers, ere .out in strong opposition to the man w•ho throttled the Tariff. Samuel Parke, Esq. an eminent lawyer of Lancaster county, a devoted Antirnason, and formerly elected to the Legislature by that party, is not only opposed to Clay, but is in favor of Polk end Dallas. John C. Vancamp, of the same county, Chairman of the Antimasonic Committee in 1840, is pursuing the same good course. Adam Bare, late Sheriff of the same county, ditto. The Lancaster Intalligencer save that it has about ten columns of changes from the Clay to the Polk ranks, which it intends to administer, in broken doses, to its whig friends hereafter. If it gave the whole list in one number, it could not be accountable for the results. It will, therefore; be as merciful as possible. Hon. James C Loomis, Mayor of Bridgeport, Conn. has abjured whiggery and now iupports the democratic candidates. The Detroit (Mich.) Free Press of the 10th inst., contains the renunciation of Whiggery of Minto T Lane, EN.. of Rome, Macomb county. Mr Lane was formerly a Whig member of the Michigan Legislature, and was the Whig candidate for the State Senate in 1842. lie declares his determination to support Polk and Dallas at the approaching election. Their Orators, too.—The Mobile Register snys:— We say nothing, for the present, of the changes which are reported to us in the interior of this State. The Whigs will see for themselves, in the list of officers of the Democratic Association of this county, published in our last, the names of four gentlemen—Cul T Mc- Gran, Maj Joseph Moore, and Messrs D Chandler and J W Leseane, who were warm Hnrrison men in 3840; the first named, an officer in their Club—and the last two, conspicuous orators and champions of their party. I The Rockingham (Va) Register says that Capt Wm A Abney, near Greenville, Augusta county, has come out from his old friends and intends to go for Polk, Dallas and Democracy. He is one of the most intelli- gent and influential men in Augusta, and his change is thought to be worth a good many votes to our party. He was an active Harrison man in 1840, and once ran in Augusta for the legislature. There are others in Augusta who will follow Capt Abney's example The Dayton (0) Empire, of the 11th instant, con rains letters from John Sinks, Esq. and John G Gotte, both Whigs in 1840, and gentlemen well known in that section of country, distinctly renouncing Whiggery and poclairaing their preference for Polk and Dallas. Here they come by lteenties.—ht the great Demo cratic meet:ng on Saturday last, on the banks of the Susquehanna, neer Perryville, Cecil county, (says the Baltimore Republican,)an Licit - lent occurred uf a pleas ing character. While Albert Constable, Esq., was addressing the assembled mass, their attention was di rected to a beautiful vessel nearing the shore, with the Polk and Dallas flag at the mast head. Mr. C. ap„ prised the meeting that-the vessel contained, besides the Car ain, TW e rr-six gentlemen, residing iu anoth er part of the county, all of whom had recently deser ted from the Coon ranks, and come out for Polk and Dallas. At this announcement the multitude sent up a deafening shout; the Sand struck up " the Camp-1 bells are corning," and the detachment of artillery present, under the command of Capt McDowell, rent t the air with "the immortal Jove's dread clamors coon_ I terfeit," in peal afte.r mud. To mike "assurance doubly sure," the gentlemen then came forward and made an open avowal of their determination to support the democratic nontinees. Wm. P. WcaN et, and Wm, 11. Seved. both prkoni neat Whig peliticians in 1840, have came out ih the Dayton Empire, renouncing whiggery and declaring their intention to support the democratic candidates. Jacob A. Weidman, Esq., a distinguished Member of the Lebanon bar, and elected by the whigs as the Senatorial delegate rosin Dauphia and Lebanon coun ties to the Reform ConVention, now does noble service for the Democratic candidates. Mr. W. is an exten sive iron master in that county, and one of its mast re spectable and influential citizens. Dr. John Weidman, an influential pqlitician in Le banon, a warm supporter of liarriscm in 1840, has alvo actively enlisted elder the flag of Polk, Deltas and Muhlenberg. We learn that the Doctor, on last Sat urday evening, addressed one of the largest Democrat. ic meetings ever held in Lebanon, in a speech of great power and eloquence. Henry Layer, President of the Harrishurgh Tippeca noe Club, has publicly renounced coonism and all its The Charlottesville Republican announces that CHARLES B. Ilor aims of Louisa, late President of a Clay Club in that county, and a man of standing and iuflueccein his neighborhood, has signed off from Mr. Clay, andithat several of his neighbors have declared the sametieterminadon. We learn from the Winchester Virginian that Hiram ltr Rowan, late President of the Mill Creek (Berkely County) Clay Club; Reuben Custar and Jolla Wy. song, staunch suppmers of Harrison in 1$40; have renounced Wbiggery. The Bay State Democrat publishes a letter from the following gentlemen of Rhode Island, who were feder al leaders in 1840, giving their reasons why they cannot support Clay, end declaring their intention 'to labor for the election of Polk and Dallas.' Wager Weeden, John Paine, Eli Brown, John H. IVeeden, Samuel Ashley, C. M. Neaten, Cephaa Holbrook, Dnniel M. Paine, Laban C. Wade, Isaac Eli:lime, Albert Cook, Samuel IS arner, • To this declaration the Democrat adds: "The names here pre4ented ere but a sample of the changes that have taken place in that State, as we are assured by persona upon whom the most implicit reliance may be placed, that at least ONE THOUSAND citizens of that State have left the cause of Federalism since 1840, and joined the Demccratic ranks." In Kentucky, Mr. Clay's own State, some of the leaders of the party, who are Mr. Clay's equals, in tal ents and stand in the front rank of American Statesmen, are out against him. The Frankfort Yeoman says, that if a like number of the distinguished men of the party have wined against Mr. Clay in other States, his prospects must be hopeless indeed. Who perform ed more or better service for Gen. Harrison in 1840, than the then Governer of the State, Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe, Sr., Senator; Robert Wickliffe, Jr., since a Whig Representative, and several younger members of the family? This family all oppose Mr. Clay now, or very neatly all of them, and a vety influential family it has always been in Kentucky. Besides those, there are three Whig Congressmen from Kentucky in 1841. who do not now sup, - ,ort Mr. Clay, viz: Hon. T. F. Marshall, I lon. J. Pope, and James C. Sprigg. These are the lea.ling seceders from Mr. Clay's ranks in Ken . tacky—a Governor, three members of Congress, a Sen. ator and a Representative. But this is nothing alien compared with the hundreds cf influential Ovate citi zens to be found all over the State. Let the wings re collect these things, and cease their boasting.. Two of these gendetnnn have been persecuted and denounced by the friends of Clay. 'they refused to unite with Speaker White and the other Clay men who tried to '• kill the 7'ariff Bill," and we presume, that is the reason they are now persecuted by the federal leaders. A tchig, %vriting from Kentucky to A fiend in New Haven, despnirs of Clay's election, and says that John Thomas, L. E. Drake and John .Morris, Esqrs, hither to staunch Clay Whigs, and gentlemen of great influ ence in Kentucky, have come out for Polk and Dallas. The Fire spreading in Western Virginia—The Firmestle Democrat says: Among the many changes in 'Veatern Virginia, we are both gratified and pleased to announce that cf Henry Erskine, Esq of Lewis burg, formerly a member of the Legislature, and on of the most influential whigs in that part of Virginia. He says he cannot votefor HcitrylClay. A Siox!—Overville Bradley, Esq.. of East Ten nessee, ono of the most active and powerful suppor ters of Gen'l Harrison in 1840, is no-v exerting him self with equal efficiency fur Polk and Dallas. We copy the fullutsing 'bigguns' from the Cleve land (Ohio) Pluindealer: Gen WILLIAM S MURPHY, the greet stump orator of Ohio for Harrison and T. ler in 1840, is now doing battle against Clay and the Bank. But to come home, on to the Connecticut Western Reserve. Where are the Whig leadera of 1840? LEWIS L RICK. a powerful writer, and editor of a whig paper in '9o_ is now publishing a Liberty paper, and tearing down Clay ism throughout the southern counties of the Re- J W TAIT, editor and publisher of the Conneaut Gazette, and a strong Harrison and Tyler man in '4O, now openly opposes Clay, and is about issuing a Liberty paper at Painesville He says hundreds of his old Harrison subscribers have requested him t0,,d0 so, and they pledge themselves to sustain him! EDWARD WADE, Esq., of this city, a powerful debater and an eloquent pub lic speaker, and who in '4O, dealt dismay into the Re publican ranks wherever he went,now it the worst cus tomer Clay men can meet in this quarter. He is most at home when treading on Giddings' toes, tearing his abolition over-coat off from his whig jacket, and exposing his duplicity, which he often does, with ex cruciating °Get. THOMAS RICHMOND, T C SEVERANCE, R H BLACKMER, H P HOPKINS, J F PAINTER, and M H HICKOX, are citizens of our acquaintance, and were very active in 1840 to secure the election of Gen Harrison; but who are equally active against Henry Clay. Capt %VIM B RICHARDSON, of this'eity, a thorough-going and Influential Tippeca noe man in 1840, now goes for Potx & DALLAS.- He says he has aeon quite enough of the corruption and meanness of federal whiggery, and that he shall hereafter exert himself in the cause of Democracy and Equal Rights. We might extend this list to hundreds in this conn t3; and thousands on the Reserve; but we leave it for the POLLS To TELL! We do not claim they will ail votethe Democratic ticket, but that they will not vote the teLAct. as ‘liry di l in 13.10! John 8. Eddy, Samuel H. Wales, Peter W. Ferries, Philip B. Stiness, Jesse Calder, Jesse B. Sweet, William C. Barker, A. H. SO!will, Lewis Carr, John C. Davis, Samuel Young. Thislist of changes occupies more space than we iti justice to other Mauer; allotit• We could extend it to three or four colinuni, is every piper we 4,- peon contains a list of renoutieingwhige ! The reader quill obeerre that all we have published, ate thosewho were leaders of the whig party in 1840. To give the names of the changes among the rank and file of the party, it would require a sheet of paper larger thait any that is now made in this part of the couotry. If we were to undertake such an berculoan task,it would be necessary for us to adopt the mode followed by Alex. Stevenson in preaching sermons, and have the "same subject continued." But, before we close lot u 4 take another tnrn at our own county WHERE ♦RE THE WHIG LEADERS or 1890 1— Again we put this interesting question, and once more we are able to answer it by pun ing down several names prominent in politics in Allegheny county, which, in 1840, shone conspicuously at the head of Tippecanoe handbills, and in all other plum, where they could be used to the advantage of whiggery. In 1390, HVIIIT iiraouL, Esq., Clerk of the District Court, was a strong and energetic sgpporter of HaR. RISON and T rtsu—now. - he is President of the East Ward Hickory Club, and is at work manfully for Polk and Dallas. A G LOGAN, comes of an old antimasonic stock, and stoutly supported garrison in 1840. ile now goes with all his migbt for Polk and Thos. McNltt.t.aN, Esq., late Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, bas.always heretofore been an active, firm, and unflinching antimasonic partisan, led was especi ally warm in 1890 He cannot go, however, for the man whom the organ of his party assured him is "a duellist, a gambler, and an immoral and profane man," and is now strongly opposed to Clay. J•coe McCALLISTaR, a near neighbor of Ming, went heartily for the Harrilon candidates in 1840—he is now laboring faithfully in the organization of a Club in his ward to sustain Polk and Dallas. There are many other changes against Clay among the prominent politicians of this county, as well as among those who mix but little in politics, but we do not feel at liberty to give their names. Nor have we given the names of any who had previously to 1890, been with the Democrats, but who now are with us again, and working heart and soul in the cause of De mocracy. They wish to forgot the momentary mistake they committed, and we are perfectly willing that with 01l arch, "bygones shall be bygones." We subjoin a brief rec apitulatiun of the lists which we have before published, of citizens of this county, who were whigs, and for Harrison in 1840, but cannot go fur the Dema gogue of Ashland. Dr. WILLIAM ELDER, who was elected Recorder y the Whigs, and who contributed more, by his exceL lent aliilities fur stump speaking, to their victory of 1840 than any man who labored in that field; has be come disgusted with their blinrldevotiun to the dema gogue Clay. Mr. ALFRED S t:TToN, late Prothonotary of tbe county. Mayor lier, was an industrious whig partizan in 1840—Ent now•, we believe, takes no part whatever in t to campaign. Wm. E. AUITIY, Esq.. an especial favorite among the coons in 1840. Wm. Esttimax, Jr. E-q.. is another leader among tie Birney men, who was a devoted flarrisonite in 1840. R. C. Fl.eson, editor of the Spirit of Liberty, the Liberty paper here, was a flaming Harrison man, and was appointed Postmaster in Allegheny city, ashen the "change" came about. David Gilleland, once Register of the county, the abolition candidate for die Senate. Russell Errett, Esq., the standing Secretary of the Federal County Conventions. John Hannen, Esq., who, as a candidan.. fur Congw'ss heads the abolition ticket. Dr Wm. A. Penniman, who was once a whi,g repro. sentutive. Who in this county have not heard of H. Bollman and Andrew Wanton, Esq 4., the very "embodiment" of antimnsonic principles and the foremost Harrison men in 1810. The Hon. W. W. Irwin, who was the whie.eandi lite fur Congress in 1840, and who was elected by the largest majority ever given in the county. Sam. W. Black, one of the most ready and reliable of the whig stump speakers in 1840, is now enlisted in the democratic cause. Dr. J. Carothers, of Wilkins township, has formally refused to vote for Clay. Nathan Means, of Mifflin township, is known as a most obdurate and unyelding antimason and Harrison man; ho cannot support Clay. John Willock, Esq., of the city. James McAuley, Esq. Mr. McA. takes little part in politics now, but does not suppc rt Clay. Thomas M. Marshall, Esq., although a younger sol dier than many in the antimasonic ranks, hid few su periors for zeal, talent and industry. Dr. Alex. W. Black, has heretofore been a devoted and prominent member of the opposition party. James H. McClelland, Esq., supported Harrison in 1840 with right good will. George Stewart, Esq., was elected an Alderman of this city by the whigs, in the opening of the campaign of 1840. 'Qo'Tho American wants us to designate more close ly the men we have named who were friends of Gen. Harrison but cannot support Clay. He says he don't know them. We do not see how be should know them. They do not suit him at all; they are neither traitors nor the eons of traitors. Their progenitors never fled from the hangman. Tee WAY CLAY BECAME A BANK MAN.—The Delphi Oracle says, it should nut be forgotten . that Hen ry Clay, in 1811, made a violent speech against the ex pediency and constitutionality of a national bank; and that shortly afterwards he was appointed attorney to the bank, and received SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for his services. Ili* Silenced Mr Ciny's opposition, and ha has ever since been the advocate of a United States Bank. The potency of the almighty dollar has effectually settled his pinciples. FOR TUC POST ANOTHER SQUATTER. I notice by the Gazette, that Joseph Knox. et al., challenges a discussion on the TariWand otherqutions withour democratic friends. Praytell us, Mr. Editor who is Mr. et al. that is to assist Mr. Knox. We plain farmers have never heard of such a gentleman being in the county.—Can, he too, be a squatter from Cumberland? INCONSISTENCY OF HENRY CLAY. HE HAS BEEN fur and against a U. States Bank. HE HAS BEEN for and against a high Protective tariff. HE HAS BEEN for and against the annexation of Texas. HE HAS BEEN fur and against the matoaic fra ternity. HE HAS, BEEN for and agai nat. the military thief t in for President. HE HAS BEEN for and ,gainm our GLORIOUS CONSTITUTION. ,Bitiebarg4; MY 29, 19445.._ Dater Sts.'—dlelliedmg, that you. would liki to bier from this part of the coseetry--althoughyou studiously avoided visiting our manufacturing district since the time you commenced devoting your efforts to a "reduce thin 'of the Tariff," we take the liberty of addressing you a letter on matters and things in general, and on the state of our rivers in particular. We are haply to inform you that there is an excel lent stage of water at the present time, and that our rivers have not been "dried op" during the whole , season, notwithstanding you asserted in your speech against the location of a National Armory at Pitts burgh, that such was the case every summer. There is now 10 feet water in the channel, and we are of' the opinion that the rivers will continue in good navi gable order throughout the season. It may not be amiss to inform you that they were not froze,' over during the whole of last winter. From these facts you will learn that yin made a great mistake when ou said that the river at Pittsburgh "was frozen over one half the year and-dried up the other half." You will no doubt be surprised to hear that your po litical prospects look rather blue in this city, and that the imprudent movement. of your, friends. have done great injuryto your hopes. We now/funs post a friend ly caution against those "fifteen whige, il --itto - ere the special patrons of Deacon White, a person who but a short time trier* denounced you for having "throttled the Tariff" (which is a fact you know, but then it should not be told attbe.present time) and he hair also said, that you were an "immoral and profaner man." If the Deacon would retract these charges, now that her is supported by your friends, it would not be so bad, but he is as stubborn as a mule, and all the fifteen wings can do, they cannot get him to say that,you did n't "throt tle the Tariff," nor will he recall one word of what be said about your duelling, °Airman°, profanity, &c. We understand that the leaders are trying to get clear of him, and to prricure some other person for an editor who has not developed so many of your bed arts, but he thinks that be has them in a "split stick," and refuses to"back out"until they raise a thonsanddellars on first cost. They are now trying to collect 24000, and if they succeed they will drop the Deacon like a "hot po tato," and with that load removed, perhaps your pros.' pects may brighten a little. If you havo leisure we would esteem it a special fa vor if you would send us the earliest news of the elec tions that will take place in a few days in Ohio, Ken tucky, Indiana, Missouri. Illinois and Alabama, and we will in the mean time keep you informed of the state of our ricers, Yours, &c. STERN WHEEL, COAL BOAT, IZAAK WALTON, WHEEL HOUSE, EVANS' SAFETY GUARD, BROAD HORN. and several others. P. S.
