The responses given to this gnestion, would be os various as are the opinions of men, and as unlike as the reasonings by which they arrive at different coticlu. sines. Some would say it is because they are 'U. S. Bank men, and their champion the friend of an old fashiJned Bank—some would soy it is because they are for Distribution—others, because,. in Congress, many of them voted against the Tariff of 1842 . Now, the Pittsburgh Gazette 'ante furnished us the following.— How many of the whigs will agree with their organ? tstr Mark one words—defeat will contin ue to follow the whig party as lent as Hen ry Gay is their candidate for President. Jsaus G. BIRNZT.—The whigs are circulating a story that this gentleman, the Liberty candidate fur the Presidency, is nominated in . Michigan, for the Legislature, by the Democrats, and that he has accept ed the nomination. The story is evidently false, got up for the purpose of cheating the Liberty men into the-rupport of Clay. The democrats never take can didiates 'from any of the parties opposed to it—they do not entrust the carrying out of their objects and prin ciples to any but men who act with their own party. Besides, weans IMP the t Mr Birney would not accept any nomination from the Democrats. The story is another of the miserable tricks of the whigs to make votes fur Clay for the Liberty men—just • like their seeding Cassius Clay and Gidding's as missionaries to coax Abolitionists to vote fur a slaveholder. 800118ACIL. We espy the following letter from hirLtstr,the repu ted author of the ••Roorback Forgery." , .:.lt Kill be re= membered that we published a few days since, the af fidavits of Mefiri FREER and LABAR, the Surrogate and Sheriff of Tompkins county, proving that Linn is a vrhig, whothink and hopes that Hear/ Cl tyj w ill be elected TO THE PUBLIC. ,Ati extra issued from the Chronicle office on Satur day last, and headed "Roorback's Tour." has reluc taint, ft reed me before the public. and which, without submitting to the foulest charges, I have no means of 'melding. Slanderer , calumniator and forger, are the gentlest epithets which the vocabulary of Chronicle editor can afford me, and I am obliged to loathe them stilt more because contrasted with those endearing terms which he bestows upcn Mr McKinney. The tour of Rosaiback has been more pleasant to him than to myself, and if Mr. Spencer suffers no inconvenience beforetbe journey is finished, I shall congratulate him upon his powers of endurance. My connection with this gentleman tourist, who has hitherto travelled in the clouds, shall, in all its particulars, be explained.— And if, in the course of this statement, others should be called upon to bear part of tfat odium which they have so plentifully bestowed upon myself, they must thank the ungenerous manner they have pursued—that selfish and unwarrantable care albeit- own reputation which would sacrifice another for mere convenience. If, however, shall nothing extenuate, nor set down taught in malice, and should think it dishonorable to mention ether names than these already made r nhlic. My ob ject is not to implicate Mr Spencer or McKinney, but in some measure extentrate my own transgression. If I fail in this, I tinny impatiently bear my burden, but it shall be without repining. The Ro aback forgery, as it is called, appeared in the Ithaca Chronicle of the 21st of August last. A few days previous to this time I had purchased of Da vid D. Spencer, Editor of the Chronicle, a copy of Fatberstonhaugh's "Excursion through the slave States," and was perusing the work, when a gentle man and a warm friend of one of the great political parties of our country, entered the room. This last occurrence, if I recollect righly, was4n the evening of the 18th of August. The gentleman alluded to, whose name is immaterial to the issue, and which it seroakl be infamous in me to divulge without his con esni, bad the Ithaca Journal in his hand, and in a few anaments commenced a furious philipic against "the Intse fabrications," as he styled them. which appeared in that paper. I replied that the political excitement et the present time waged higher than it had ever done before, and it was not a matter cf surprise that partisans, heated in the contest, should pay but little regard to the justice of their blowain the fury of the battle; and I added, that as it respected the editor of the Chronicle. snored and religious as he was allow ed to be, I believed he would equally with others pub lish any falsehood, however gruss. if he could thereby effect'a political object. This declaration of mine Was, and very naturally, doubted. As I have already observed, I had just been engaged • m perusing Featheratonhaugh, and recollected this author's somewhat striking description of a gang of negroei, who hud been purchased by slave drivers, add were preparing to cross New River- I then proposed a test—that this nat noise should be copied, and offer- 1 ed to Spencer for publication, with the addition that 'she slaves had been sold by Col. Polk. This propo ssition the gentleman rejected, as the enormity, in his sopinion, was not sufficiently apparent, and any editor 'might be deceived by it. I then made a true extract from Featherstonhaugh, and passed the paper over for the pitrposis of his appending any abomination be thoutht fit; the result was that entire clause respecting the_bninding of the slaves. ter corroboration of this fart, I would refer to the original. manuscri pt, if it is yet in existence, when it will be observed that the extract and the addition are not in the same hauderiting; and if the manuscript is tie ,strayeldri refer re the recollection of Mr McKinney, on whose•temor I have implicit reliance, if such was not the c hie. Since writing the above sentence, I have as-1 ..certained that Mr McKinney asserts tint the original' mattu•cript was, returned to me. and that destroyed] 3 ; it may he so—without a pioiithe eonviction, I will noacontradictshim--but I have no recollection of it.-- He also asserts that he paid uo particular attention to the.communimition, Iva cannot at this distance of time nisei vely state that there was any ditl'vreaoein the w r P • d eg . We will, therefore, let this pass fur the present., The next morning, (August 10.) after the transacoilers , mentiosed o f.the previous evening, Mr Maloney, a young man to whose estimable qualities Lana as ell-. ding to endorse as ,14. r Spencer—came into my office, , -when I exhibited to him tie extract and its appendage,, with a request that he would copy it and hand it to the adiforQFthe Chrogliclei for publication, a request with • which he kindly end choe e - J • etred y p . *hulk the reason assigned for my wishing 'hint to do so, is the same which be has given in his affidavit. He acceir dingly gave it to the editor of the -Chronicle, but, cau tious efassinning any , responslbtlity. informed Spencer that it seas a copy from an original famished by myself. The unfortunate piece was duly published, and has since made a more extensive tour than Root back himself. On the next day, or at the Osrthest the day after, Mr McKinney informed mu that the article had been pre sented to, and accepted by Mr Spencer. and that it would appear in the next Chronicle, 1 then thought that the experiment had been sufficiently tried, and im vtediate/y made Mr McKinney acquainted with the circumstances relating to it, and it was at his option to have prevented its appearance. This gentleman, however, is of opinion that it was on the very day of publication that he first received his i ,formation; bet my strong impression and confident belief is, that it must have been nt least MI the day previous to this event. This is the only point on which Mr McKinney WF.STMORKLAND COUNIY. and myself use at issue, and here tbete is a difference We have received the returns from all the Districts of a few houT.

If lem a "Loco Teen," as r Mr Spencer will insist aeon styling me. yet, set tainly, Mr Mr-Kinney is the very reverse, and the gentlemen who interpolated the obnoxious paragraph, I do assure him, was and is of the same political sentiments as Mr McKinney. I hope this has not been done with the dastardly motive of driving the accumulated fury of any party press upon my devoted head. The truth is. and which is well known that I am no political - partizan, unless my having an exalted opinion of the commanding talents and statesman like qualities of Henry Clay, and my never having uttered one word derogatory to the high standing and political purity of Col Polk can make one. And yet obscure and unob trusive and individual as I am, I have been carried on the wings on Mr Spencer's Extra. through all sec t ions of the country as a monster of defamation against one of the most p.o:ninent political men of our conetry. May I itehilge the hope that the arts of an able"edi-1 for will be defeated, and that candid men of all parties will acquit me of so infamous an aspersion. WM. LINN I Now it will seen by the above that Mr Linn char- i gas the immediate perpetration of the forgery,—the writing of the part which contained the slander— on alciend of the Ithaca Chronicle—in other words, al whig of Ithaca. He also says that the editor of the. Chronicle knew all about the character of the article. So, that the uttering and circulating of the forgery, knowing it to be such, is chargeable on the editor of the Chronicle and his whig friend, and, according to his own showing, Linn is less to blares than either. We would not for a moment seek to excuse the con duct of Linn, even if we fully credited his statement. We have no doubt he is a whig, and a friend of Mr Clay, notwithstanding the efforts of the whig presses to make it appear otherwise. There are many such men as Linn in our own community—men about whose politics, persons who did not know them well, could honestly dispute. They are a sort of Political bats who fly about between the two political armies, and oc casionally attach themselves to one or the other, when they think they see some advantage for themselves.— Mr Linn now perhaps thinks—foolish man—that Clay will be elected, and therefore inclines to his side,—but whether he does or not, he is no Democrat, because Democrats am never ashamed to avow their feelings and principles—we have always made it a rule to give all neutral or "independent" presses aud politicians to the whigs. But, while this letter of Mr Linn's shows pretty clearly who the "Roorback" of New York is, it does not show where the editor of the Gazette got his ex. tract from "Koorback." He did not give credit to any paper or any person—the story of brawling Col PoLe's slaves appeared in the Pittsburgh Gazette as if it were copied directly from the book of Travels itself. Once more we ask the editor to produce the book from which he copied. We now know who "Roorback" is, but will theGszette tell us about "Kourback." POLITICAL CONSISTENCY The New York Tribune, a leading Whig paper, used the following just and appropriate language in reference to the duel between Wags and MAHSH Au.: "The duellist, after declaring, as the most solemn conviction of his conscience and his judgment, that the practice is absurd and wicked, regrets that the public feeling of his constituents demands that he should subscribe to its bloody creed. In what light does that exhibit their courage? They dare not do right; dare not act like sincere, honorable men ; dare not square their lives by their principles, out of cowardly fear that some of their neighbors will not uphold them in id kf there be a coward:cc of a baser sort, which sinks tke honor of a manly soul to a lower deep, we have yet to see its manifestations. The man who dares not to have a conscience of his own; who binds his soul to the will of others; who chooses to play the hypocrite; to submit his deepest conviction of truth and duty to the will, the prejudices, or the passions of another,. lest, forsooth , he should in. 1 cur their displeasure, is the eeriest coward the world has ever seen." Aed yet the editor of the Tribune and his political friends are straining every nerve, that the destinies of this great republic: may be committed to the charge of a notorious &last. Nay, more:. Whig members of ' Congress have bad thehardihood.in the presence oft he law makers of the country, to stigmatize Mr POLK'S respect for the laws, and his courage in acting up to 1 his own convictions of right, as.eawardit el Mr BILL- S," Ft administered a severe rebuke to this gross impro priety; and we were pleased to see the eery general ap proval which greeted his remarks from all quarters of the House.—Spectator. "But a duel has been fought; and the world may profit by it. Both the men engaged in it It veforfeit ecl the est eem of every right-minded man.

The Philadelphia Ledger gives the fiillowin,g sum mary of the proceedings of Saio lay, of the General Episcopal Convention now in session in tht.t city: There vus quite a spirited debate in the convention on Saturday morning, arising from the discussion of a resolution offered by Ar Dubois. of Ohio, declaring the use of any other (resignation than dap properly he longing to the chutch as anti-Prutestant and of evil tendency. The reason given for the introduction of this resolution was, that a delegate from Connecticut (understood to be the Rev Dr Jarvis,)' had declared himself to be a Presbyter of the Rtformed Catholic Church, aad the author of the motion seemed at first inclined to doubt the capacity of the delegate to ap. pear as representative in the convention, inasmuch as by his own declaration, he had joined another church or at least did not belong to the Pilau-stem Episcopal Church. The debate which ensued was conducted with much Chi istian ciilunesy and moderation, and was only terminated by the withdrawal of the resolution.— The pricipal speakers were Dr Brooke, of Ohio. Dr. Hawks ' of Mis.i.; Dr Ogilby, of N J, Dr Tyng, Dr Mason‘, Rev Mr Young, Rev Mr Dolt, Judge Cham bers and Mr Dubois. The subject thus brought before the House has a bearing upon the difference of opinion which have for some time agitated the church,and the rliscus-ion will, no doubt, be renewed the first opportunity offered.— During a portion of the time occupied by the debate, the House of Bishops were taking their usual recess and manynl the members of the House appeared as listners in the seats appropriated to their use behind the chancel. A series of interesting meetings is to take place du ring this week, at St Andrew's _Church. This evening, the Western Bishops willcontinue their discours^s in regard to the state of the missions in the west and southwest. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the Rev 1 - 1 Southgate will deliver a series of lectures on the condition of the mission of Constanti nople and the ancient churches in the East. Friday evening is devoted to a meeting to advocate the estaho lishment of parochial schools for the, education of youth. The following is from the Philadelphia N American of Friday: We learn that two vu' jects of unusual interest are expected tocome before the Convention. The first relates to the action which is supposed to have been rendered necessary ky the Carey ordimation, as well as to the large range of topics with which that remark able event was connected. The second springs from the late resignation of Bishop Onderdonk of Pennsyl vania. Whet is the sense cf the two houses on the first subject, it is perhaps not difficult to determine. It must be recollected that in the house of bishops, the vote is per capita, and in the hones of clerical and lay deputies, by delisgation, when such a vote is called for by a certain propositsnn cf the delegates. The vote, therefore, is strictly federal; Eastern New York, containing a hundred churches, having no greater weight than Delaware or Mississippi with ten. We have been supplied with a list, as indicating, with tol erable accuracy, the avowed preferences of so many of the house of bishops as have declared themselves on the subject; it being understood that the delegitions from their respective States agree with them in their• opinins with a few trifling exceptions. In this five are designated, according to the popular term, ns “Ox ford,"—eleven are ••Anti.Oxford, and five us doubt ful. Bishop Onderdonk, Pa., it seems, will not take his seat, and the Pennsylvania delegation is understood to be equally divided on the merits of the greatcontrover sq. at issue. On the question of the acceptance of Bishop Onderdonk's resignation, other lines will be drawn; and tie opinion appears to grow stranger, that the requisite ratification will be refused and that he will be presented and tried. Tennessee all Rigkt.—An intelligent writer in t e Clark &burgh Jeffersonian gives the following cheering and glorious prospects in Tennessee: ou t Tennessee the conflict waxes warmer and warmer as the election approaches; and here, as elsewhere, the Democrats have made terrible havoc among the rank and file, and also the officers, of the Whig party. In East Tennes see, where Gov. Jones obtained a majority of 3200 oeer Polk, the Democrat' have made gains enough not only lota-set this majority, brit to secure a majority c f 800 for the Democratic ticket Middle Tennessee, with her 30 counties, which gave Polk last year a ma jority of 1600, will in November give him 9500 ma jority. West Tennessee, which last year gave a ma jority of '2200 against the Democratic candidate, wilt, owing to the palpable and decided defalcations from the Whig party, give more than 1200 majoai.y for Polk."

Captain Bostingoet, aecompanied by one of his officers and negro ettendant, forced hi* way into the cabin of the Cyrus, the thtee trampling under foot the flag of the United States; after searchinz tha cabin for the brig's papers, they cameon deck and tuternpted to obtain forcible possession of the log hook, but gave way when Captain Dumas ordered his men to arm them selves and protect their rights. The British Captain then returned to the cabin, broke open Captain Dumas' trunk. took out the brig's papers soul ret rityeilthem.— Captain 1). immediately abandoned his ves.K, ids crew going with him, leaving every thing on board. He now presents the fact to the United States Government for their action in the piemises. We should state that the British Captain refused to show his authority, thus violating the treaty between the United States and Great Britain relative to the right of search. The 13litish GovMmment will undoubtedly idemnify the owners of the Cyrus for thisputrage, to which their attention will be pmmptiv directed by the Government of•the United States. Cup% Dumas does not state whether his vessel was fiucd out for the Slave Trade, or any unlawful traffic. BRUTAL OUTRAGE AND MURDER IN BAL TIMORE There was an atrori , .us ontraee and most foul mur der committed in Hnitimore on Thursday night. The name of the man killed is John Henry Kreger, a Ger man aged 21 years, who lived in Bond street, near Alice Anna. We learn from the Republican that Kragcr, at about 9 o'clock on Thursday evening, left the house of Mr John Uhlhorn with a bucket to obtain water at the pump in the neighborhood. %Mile getttng the water, a party of persons twined with clubs passed him, bur raing for Clay Frelingliuysen and Pratt, at which ite huarraed lot Polk in an inoffensive manner and with perfect good feeling, whereupon he was most brutally attacked with clubs and bludgeons, and bented in a most ferocious and horrible manner, and when left the party supposed him dead—bc was taken into the house and died in about twenty minutes. The party, after committing the horrible murder, crossed over to the opposite side of the street, where they furiously assail. ed Michael Baem, who was much beaten; also Wil liam Swalingburg. who, beside being beat, was shot in the hip with a pistol ball, and Wm Tulinghust, who was so much beaten that it is supposed be will die.— The patty then proceeded further down Lancaster street, where another pe;.son (a carpenter) Wall aSetail.• ed and beaten at his uwn door, because he was know n to be a Democrat. A sailor, named James Ruck.was also dreadfully beaten by the same party, Henry Hahnneman, in Thames street, two dcors from Car oline, also much beaten. These fiends in human form we uuderstand, before these horrible outrages were perpetrated, grossly insulted some most respectable Democratic citizens, by stopping in front of their dwellings, giving forth their hideous groans. Ladies, too, whose husbands were absent, were most wantonly insulted by demoniac yells. The young man Kreger, who was murdered, bore an excellent character and was very quiet and inoffensive in his manners. It was rumored in Baltimore that James Buck, sail or, is dead British Gold,—The N. York Herald makes the folllowing sensible comments upon the inconsistencies of the whig tactics. • "A number of the ridiculous, absurd and silly party newspapers have been filled with long, frightful stories about the import of the British gold into this country for the purpose of helping the locofecos to elect Mr. Polk. In some of the very same papers we find long and pathetic appeals to the people of the United States to oppose the election of Mr Polk, on the ground that thatevent would inevitably lead to war with England! Now, only observe the contradictory nature of these assertions and statements, and appeals, made by the same party papers. The British want Mr Polk elec ted, and are coat ilniting any quantity of gold, in order to elect him, and that they may get the tariff repealed ; a nd, in the very some breath, we are told by the same oracle, the British don't want Mr Polk elected, because he will annex Texas, and get the two countries invol ved in a war! Cannot men of sense see the utter ab surdity of all this? The one set of assertions are entire ly nugatory of the other, and both are, in fact, so re diculous as to be unworthy of serious comment. The truth is, that whether Mr clay or Mr Polk be elected, we verily believe that a moderate tar ff will be just as salutary and just as certain under the administration of one as of the other, and that we will be just as far re moved from danger of a war with England, with Mr- Polk as with Mr Clay at the head of the government."

D. R. MILLER. Washington Temperance Howe. I Pittsburgh, Sept. 19. 1844. Mr. R. Don AVON—Sir —I have bad in use for five months. one of Hathaway's Hot Air Cooking Stoves. and I have no hesitation in saying it is the best store now in use. The various kinds of cooking it is calcite lated to do at the .a-no time, and the small quantity of fuel acquired. m ikes it an object worthy the attire dun of all who desire a good stove. THOMAS VARNER. E4P 1 embrace this opporturity to veconuneed the Hot. Air Cooking Stoves; I have used the one you put up for me constantly all summer, and I must say it -is a grand article. I believe it is superior to any other stove now in use in this city. The oven hakes well, and is large enough to bake four large loaves,uf bread at one time; it also co .liS very speedily, and it requires very little coal. I think them worthy the attention of all who , wish a good stove; to such I would say, try theta and prove what they are. oct 11-tf • MATH F.W PATRICK.
