this ;this putely a piece of Southern policy. The south

tory Ching from their pockets.
Ei Total Tea and Coffee was tie very best way to ac
mesh their purpose. We futrtherefore, that the
turiern Whigs, with Mr Clay at their head, were the
ittitheetiiagedvocates of the Tea and Coffee Tax. We
Oroathrtrated, by a comparison of the white population
f~udie free an 4 in the slave states, that the free states
lton4 have to pay near 2 millions of the '52,800,000
which the Tea and Coffee Tax might be expected to
faring-into the Treasury. Let us see how Pennsylvania
lLt4d come out, if Mr Clay's monstrous humbug of dia
oguing the Public Land.; had been carried out, to
with his grand compensating &Acme of tyranny,
Ida* riti and Coffee Tax,
The amount which, it wa.. expected, would, on an
INerage, be brought into the Treasury byaales of pulp.
Pc buds, is estimated at $3,000,000. We think this
padmate quite too high. It is reasonable to suppose

kA w:
rettees would fall short of 3 millions—say - they would
to 2.1 millions—but still we will take the esti
- ot 3 millions. Of this, the yearly opottion of
Pennsylvania would be about one tenth, or $300,000.
life have already shown that the free states would have
opso2,artilliotis of the Tea and Coffee tax advocated

N. This snm, we repeat, is rather under than over the
Iltuo:Ornotmt. That portion of the free population of
the country which resides in remote pans of the West,

matey scarce, do not, of course, ransom° in proportion to
heir number as much Tea and Coffee as the people

ratuniry. More plenty,
But there is another fact is connection with the Tea
and Coffee Tas; which makes it yet more odious, and

It will be fa vain for thsiciazotte man to tnake his'

froui his own paper of October 29, 1842, the seven last
paragraphs elan article headed 'The males of the de

two names occur—Claxtiswi Harrison—and in which
it is shown that Harrison was neither "a duellist, a de

AIR. HAMILTON Srawastr.—A man who sigr.s
himself "Hamilton Stewart," has taken a shrewd and .
novel mode of haring card of - his bueiness putdished
ito the Gazette, without itiiihrring the expenoi of ati
advertisement:
In the list of the Democratic Countycommittee is
the name if Mr HainUloit- Shari , Versaillel
township, and this Hamilton Stewart ilirAllegheny,
eager to obtain notoriety, comes out over his ow*
name to say that it cannot he him, for he is a CLATI
man.
We can assure Mr Hamilton! Stewart, that o did
not claim him and have no neetLof him. If he had
looked ckmely at the Cummins., he would havU seen
,that Mr Lewis Weymaa is the member from the y ward
where he resides, and that three stauncleHemiperats

.Mcz.stsciieLy. , ---The Whigs of the First Wani, Al
legheny, gave notice that they would raise a Clay and
Markle Pole on Monday evening lest. They met foi• the
purpose, but for want of numbers, or mechanical
or both, they aejourned we are 'told, without accom
plishing their work. They were hard at itun Tuesday
morning, but we have not learned with what suceess.
They should have called oir tho Democrats to assist
them when they found that they could not get along
with their "raisin." No doubt the democrats w i cnki
have taken pity on them, and lent them a hand.
CLAY'S eornwintrr.--The Pittsburgh Gazette of
December 23. 1842, enAorzed the following from the
Mercer Luminary: "They [the DeMocrata] could bring .
"a man on the course that would beat Mr CLAY p.O,-
' l OOO votes." in Pennsylvania. There are nrousA6Ds
"in this State who voted for Gen Harrison, who arc r uld
"not vole for Mr Clay under any circumstances."
CLAY A FREE TRADE MAR.—According to the
Pittsburgh Daily Gazette, of February LI, 1343, IMr
CaLitourt "is the devoted advocate of Slavery knd
Free Trade," and Mr CIA* is "SECOND BEST."
Think of this, ye reckless Whigs, who want to
mon the people with your assertions that CLAX a a
Tariff men. -
CHEAP MIISIC.—The . Harry of the West offer to
sell five whig songs for two cents. This is chap
enough in all conscience, but we fear they will not make
a profitable speculation of it, as the people have no
taste for whig songs as long as they remember the ly—
ing ditties of 1840, that promised '•two dollars a day
and roast beef."
°: ;We have not beard why their whig doggerels are
offered so dog chat, but suppose the Clay Glee Club
is selling out its whole stock in trade, and intends to
"curl up and quit" its nonsense of trying to sing Clay
into favor with the people of Pittsburgh.

• FOR THIL : POVr.
Messrs. Edilors:—ln your paper of Monday last,
allusion is made to a Democratic Meeting reerntly
held in the 13( rough of Birmingham. It stated that
Mr Burke haring remarked, "That in the campaign of
1840. the whiga not only made false promises to the
people, but awed and intimidated many by discharg ing
them from employment, " and that "one of the ig
Candidates interrupted Mr B. with theremark,"
is a lie.' Being the only rhig candidate present on
that occasion, I would simply stat., that I made no
response to Mr Burke, or nny other speaker.
Respectfully, WM. MAGILL. '
I I•ira—more Riots —On Sat nrclny night, n little be
fore one o'clock, two brids. - tonfinished dwellings, situ
ated in Green Willow street, near Chatsworth Arcrt,
were discovered to be on fire. They were totally de
stroy-ed. There cannot be the slightest doubt that they
were fired by an incendiary. The property belnriged
to Jacob and Chas Linlizell, but as the hnilder (Mr. J.
H. Bean) bud not delivered the key to the owners it
will 'be his loss. As was to haw been anticipated,
another riot occurred among the firemen, and most dis
graceful one it was—bricks were thrown and guns and
pistols fired, and we did hear that one man was shot,
thrcugb we could not learn who it was. During the
affray, the. reel belonging to the Clatimbian wee taken
possession by another patty and literally broken and
cm to pieces. The Vigilant reel was also taken pos.
sessien of by n parts near the corner of Baltimore and
Holliday streets, run away with and thrown into the
Falls, somewhere in the neighborhood of 'White's dis
tillery. It war recovered by the watchmen and taken
to the watch-house Although the police were in at-
tendance, with the night watchmen, we do not leant
that a single person was arrestrd. If the officers seiz•
ed a man, Ito was immediately rescued by a rualt front
the riotous parties. Gflicer Laughlin had his coat com
pletely torn from his back. The fight we are told was
continued almost the entire length of the city, Balti
more and some pther streets being a perfect scene of

The Greatest Robbery on Record.—The aston

house of our Lady of Loretto, at Loretto, Italy. Pa
