DALLAS, Or PENNSYLVANIA The Ace is proving its devotion to the pried. 'plea of British Nativism, by sneering at men who fought for Liberty through the entire war of the revo- Intion. This is entirely proper and right in the organ of "Rath' tea" who'were in Nova Scotia, Canada, Ire land, or in short any where but in tha United States, -And irrho celebrated their triumphs by chaunting that :glorious old Native sang, the "Boyne Water."— /-luinsh for the "Natives" who were born out of the -country, and hav'nt any "forefathers." IALSEEIOOD CORRECTED.—There la anuld adage, slat Falsehood can travel many leagues, while Truth is .drawing on his boots, and it is fully verified in the in stance of the calumny circulated against Gen. J. K. Mooeuzszi, by the Gazette, that he had written a let ear stating that Col. Pout could act be trusted by the fiends of the Tariff. We have already published adocuments positively contradicting the falsehood of the Gazette, and take pleasute in adding the following vote to what we have before given: Mn- D. N. Wittit.—Sir: Having just returned from the east, copies of your paper of the 23rd and '24th inst., containing the above articles were handed to me this morning. I was surprised that astatement, which if true, must 'Lave been obtained by a betrayal of a private comes pondence, should have appeared in the organ of a re spectable party, and stilt more surprised that any one should gave attributed to me opinions so different from those which I have held and expressed. I am and always have been the advocate of the Tor riff policy, and so far from having used the language you attribute to me; I have never feared that , the e lection of James K. Polk would unsettle or disturb she present tariff. I believe no such thing, but on the ontmry believe the election of Polk and Dallas will promote the best interests of the country. The closing paragraph of your remark, , , from the connexion in which it stands, is personally insulting; Out after what I have now said, perhaps most men would rather be the object than the author of your remarks. In rahy own language, "a discriminating 'community will adjudge us according to our merits." J. K. MOORHEAD. Union Cotton Factory, Oct 26, 1844. TRADE AND BUSINEBI3.—The trade and business of Pittsburgh is now in a most prosperous condition.— Our rivers are in excellent order fur navigation, and •everyday numbers of coal-boats depart for Cincinnati, Sordsville, New Orleans, and the smaller cities and Gowns on the Olio and Mississippi. Tt will not be long till all the fuel consumed in the tiver towns be ' tween here and New Orleans, and including that city, vallite drawn from the exhaustless pits around and • near our smoky town. In a few days, we may ex pect to see our friends of Warren county come down an crowds with their rafts of pine and other lumber ; Clarion and Yenango, too, will send down their thous . and tens of pig -metal, and other products. •In all branches of commerce nod manufactures, bu -einess is active, and seems to be transacted on a safe --and profitable basis; • and on every side we sed'andoubt •ed signs of prosperity. All these pleasing results, which, we are happy to know, are not confined to Pittsburgh, have been worked out without the agency of a National Bunk, that grand whig specific for every disease of the body politic, which Mr. Clay said was , -as necessary as "National laws." The want-of a paper-money bank cannot, thank ',Providence, remove, from our hills, the rich mines -teal they contain, nor dampen the spirit of energy land holustrywhieb gives force to the miner's ann. d 'works ther"sweepti" on the unwieldy coal-boat. The want •of a National Bank has not prevented the 'Lumbermen of Warren, and the Furnaceman of Clarion from bringing to our city the produce of their forests and of their iron mines, to he exchanged fur Abe many useful articles manufactured by our indostri ,oas mechanics. Nor has the want of a National Bank, stopped or staid the motion of our hundred engines, ...which are every day found capable of assisting in some new'branch of industry. Let us hope, thee, that ere shall be permitted to go on without the blighting interference of legislation infavor of money corporation'', an that the indomitable energies of our population - may be leftto develope the rich resources of our coun sry in the healthy and steady mode in which we have gone on for thelast two or tbree years. Frost Mexico.—By the arrival of the schooner Vir -ginia Antoinette we have received papers from the city of Mexico to the 18th ult., and from Vera Cruz co the 3d inst. The Hesperia of the 21st states that 'Pralident Santa Anna had granted permission to Gen. Seuttaartat's family to exhume his remains and tsaus :Tort them to New Orleans. President Santa Anna has issued a circular stating 3 40 econditioes upon which foreigners are allowed to • enter the-Republic by way of the frontiers. ,voleerett has been proposed by the Minister of Fi wance closing to foreign vessels all other ports of the 'Republic save those of Vera Cruz, Santa de Tamaul ipas (Tampico,) Campeachy and Acapulco. Foreign commerce can be carried on in the other ports, but • axciusively .hy Mexican vessels.-11. 0.

Mr Dunn, therefore, finding remonstrance useless, undertook to pilot the coal mer chant to Sheridan's residence, in Hertford-street, and ..and to usher him into the manager's presence.

The result is a terrible disappointment for the poor coons. Last night after the palls were eloped, they mere prepared fur a grand carouse, and were con fident that their majority would not beless than 3500, and had strong hopes, that it would reach '9OOO. But the returns from the County districts soon convinced them of the folly of such hopes, and before 12 o'clock you could scarcely find a whig on the streets. Their majority will be something over Markle's majority— perhaps not so much, and certainly not enough to make the resnit any thing but a most humiliating disappoint ment to the poor coons.

One Mr Smith, who lost a wife and three children that night by it, and saved himself, by almost superhuman exertions, gives a thrilling account of tho death of his family. He states that his residence was on Fourth street, on the right hand side of the Black Mock track, above Wilke sun's Furnace- About f 2 °clock in the morning, the water in the bruise had risen to such an extent that he was compelled to put his wife and children on a table —he then found it necessary to place chairs on the table, and bidding his family not despair, he put some matches in his pockets, and kept . three candles barn bog on a dock. A few moments afterwards the house was strock at the soutlowest end by another house , timing it, contact with it, Wet Threw it off itsfounda ; lion, precipitated Mrs Smith and the three children in to the water. Tho lights were all put out at the same time, and Mr S.nith found it impossible to catch hold of any of his family, except his &tle girl, about 4 years old. lie then got trp on she window sill, with his child clinging around his neck, and held on to her until he found his strength failed him, and she was dashed out °this arms. He caught at her as she was washed from him, but was too benumbed to keep his hold. The window shutters then burst open. and Mr. S. was washed out, and succeeded in getting on top of the house, from which he was rescued. insetircun Stacks in Englasd.—ln the American sccu. hies at the last dates there was but little doing, excepting in New Yorks fur investment.

(Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.] WESTERN LETTERS ON ANTIQUITIES x !screw, Ohio. Aug 31, 1844 Messrs Abell, 4. Co:—Charles A Goodrich, in his "Religions Ceremonies and Customs," says; "The Mercury and Plates or Pluto of the Mexican*, the for mer of whom was sometimes called 'Qvitzaeoate,' was represented under a human shape, except that it bad the bead of a bird, with a painted paper mitre upon its bead, and a scythe in its band. The body of it was covered with jewels of extraordinary value.".-- A British author, speaking of the Druids, sere— " They sacrificed human beings to Mercury, who had several forms." Anciently, in the Old World Met , cury was worshipped under the firm of the Ibis, an Egyptian bird celebrated for destroying serpents.— Dues the Mexican Mercury, with the head of a bird, denote the same thing? The Druids taught the ancient Britons that they descended or sprang from Pluto, or Father Dis, us they familiarly called him. Did the Mexican Plutus or Phut) originate thence? Mer cury attended the dying, detatched their souls from their bodies, and conducted them to the world of shades, acting as messengerie the gods. The Mex ican Mercury, like the modern Father Time, is armed with an instrument resembling a scythe, denoting that their business was the same. The Hun Charles Augustus Murray, who travelled extensisely among the North American Indians. says. in his "Travels in North America:" The classical rea der will be inrerested in being reminded of the sin gular resemblance which the details of Indian customs bear to those of the Scythian., (anciently assimilated with the Britons) as described by Herodotus, who no tices'are scraping the flesh from the shin of en ox. with as instrument formed from Me rib of the slain ox,' as I have seen done among the Pawnee Indians —and also the method or scalping their enemies, and wearing the scalp locks attached to their dress or hor ses' bits—he that possesses the most being esteemed the greatest warrior—every word of which description is applicable to the Missouri Indians." Delefield says "It has 'aeon stated tbat of the various dialects of America, three-fifths resemble the Mongolian nations of Northern Asia, and two-fifths the Coptic and other languages of SCITHI c and CELTIC origin." Mr NVheaton, our Minister at Berlin, is publishing a work in Paris, which will, doubtless, render more probable the opinion I am advancing, which I hope to 1 I reduce or sward. our to an incontrovettible fact.— Some of my readers think so too, by till,* gate!

The eminent public services of this Statesman are too well known and too fully and highly appreciated in this State to require extended remark from us. He is second to no one in talents and vuluable requirements —in usefulness. honor and patriotism Ile is at the head of his party in the Union, and is conceded to be one of the most useful, practical, common sense men in the nation. V% ith all these things the reading pub lic nre familiar. But few, however, have had an op portunity of knowing him at home—among his neigh bors and familiar fire-side friends. It is in the every day transactions of social life—and in the unreserved intercourse among neighbors, that the rent character of man is known—where the goad or bad qualities of this heart clearly manifest themselves—where unre set ved and heartfelt acts take the plan of words and professions, and where the .common sense criticisms of plain; sensible citizens ate spomanemtsly made. The following notice of Mr WRIGHT was some time since prepared for the Information of a private friend, by. one who has been iutia.ate with Lim for nearly five and twenty years. " I first saw lir WRIGHT in the spring of M.O. He was then com.nencing the practice of law in the vil lage of Canton, where he now resides I recollect this remark then made by a shrewd farmer, that he was the first lawyer he ever saw whose law was all common sense, and that he always gave plain sensi ble reasons for all his opinions on all subjects. Soon after, he become a magistrate of the tillage, where his dislike of injustice and discord were clearly and stt ik- Ingly illustrated. Instead of prtanoting and encour aging litigation, he uniformly diseountenaneed it, and acted as a peace-maker by inducing reconciliations in matters of contention. Such was their confidence in his advice to his neighbors, that it seldom failed to reconcile differences, and to induce them to live in pear. Whatever tended to promote the substantial inter ests of his town , was certain to receive his attention. The construction of roads and bridges—the erecthin of churches and public edifices, were objects that attrac ted his early attention and were essentially promoted by the labor of his own hands. Until public duty call led hin- away, heoften acted as pathmuster iii his dis trict, and personally performed as much labor as any citizen. The competition between his and other dis tricts, led tc results still visible in his town. Wheth er in the affairs of his town—in his own business, or in the councils of the nation, he seems, without bustle, or in the councils of nation, be seems, without bustle, display or confusion, to be always in the right place, doing exactly the right thing and in the best and most suitable manner. In, use of sickness, he was always the first to offer his services. I have known him to walk miles in stor my weather, over muddy roads to watch with the sick. I No one performed this task more frequently or cheer fully. No one is more devoid of all selfishness. Du ring my long acquaintance, 1 never knew him to be lay ing plans for pecuniary gain or personal advancement. No man has ever accused him a personal wrong, or any injustice. He always fulfils his engagements, of every , description, with scrupulous fidelity. The example of Mr. Wright on this, as on other subjects, has exerted a most salutary influence upon the citizens of his town, oftened noticed and frequently mentioned by the people from other toe ns. There are but few among his neigh bors of either party, st ho do not feel heartily proud of him and manifest an anxiety to act 30 as CO meet his ap proval. His frankness and sincerity have made im pressions u pen his friends and associates, which a stran ger will readily notice. Mr Wright lives in small wood house, in no wise distinguishable from those of his neighbors. I think it ;.est him some eight hundred dollars. In all respects he lives in the same plain, simple, unostentatious style of the farmers of his town, any one of whom is always mot with the cheering smiles of welcorrie at his hospi table threshold. In dress, he is uniformly plain. At home it is not distinguishable from that of good farm ers. Except for a brief period in the fall of 18:34, Mr Wright has alWays enjoyed the most robust health. On returning from Washington, he devotes his time, as far as his numerous calls will permit, to the culti vation of his garden and a small farm adjoining the village. When in the field he teens like any other farmer, in all the details of business. lie is above middling size, of a remarkably robust constitution.— His agricultural labors, I doubt not, have essentially contributed to his continued good health. During my tong acqnintance with him, I have never seen the least particle of irritation, or any manifestation of petulance or ill temper. The most violent assauks of political enemies never disturb him. He is at all times, and on all occasions, the same calm, dignified, respectful man that he, is in the Senate of the United States. An unkind word never escapes hint. He wounds the feelingsof no au.. Mr Wright was married at Canton, in the fall of /883, to the daughter of a gentleman in whose family he had always boarded when them. A more atten tive, kind and affectionate husband does not exist. A cress word, or even an unkind look, has never passed between him and his wife. Mr Wright, we verily be lieve, has Dot a personal erica's , in the world. He can not be saki to have any amusements, although when time permits he may sometimes be seen with fishing rod in hand. His neighbors who chance to differ with him in polities, esteem and admire him as a man, in all the relations of a citizen, a neighbor and a friend. They feel proud of him and sincerely rejoice at his success, anti but for the strength of partizan ties, would vote for him for any office. Not a respectable citizen in Curium ever speaks disrespergudy or un kindly of him. ,• When he returns Item Congress you will see the aged and the young, the rich and poor. flocking to see and welcome him home—to congratu late him and to commuicate their good wishes and prayers for his prosperity and happiness. Bonaparte was never more beloved by his soldiers, than is Mr Wright Al his neighbors. With them he is the stan dard of perfection.

Habits of Bernadotte. lke King of Sweden.— Bnrnndotte's way of-living was eatremely simple. To his established habit of temperence he owed the astonishing conservation of his person and his robust health. Very often, and indeed generally, he passed a great part of the forenoon in heel, where, however, from 8 o'clock, he gave audience and transacted busi nees. Abouttwo be generally rode out, in fine wea ther, and frequently repaired to his favorite rett eat, the elegant little palace of Rosendul, built by himself, in the park, and tastefully fitted up and furnished, where ,‘ he sometimes dined. He rarely visited the table of 1 the Queen, who regularly dined with the ladies and gentlemen in attendance on her. In general the Sing I t dined in company with only two or three men, cour tiers of distinctied, high officeis of State, scholars, , foreigners, or otber interesting persons with whom he wished to converse. He seldom went to the theatre, chiefly because he Wes notsufficiontly conversant with 'the Swedish language. The last hours of day he spent either in wiiting, or in the family -circle. Colburn's Magazine. NuotYs tem Notwithitandieg the sesere.inclemency'_ of the weather, Major Noah's 'Lecture last evening at 'die Tabernacle, on the attenuation of the Jew., tivs4 vv. tended by a ' ptetty numenms andience, composed of both Jews and Christians. The Lecture was quite interesting, and was listened to with marked attention. After a brief exordium, - MajoswNwelt said he would endeavor to show how the Jews understand and in terpret Christianity. - In doing this he adverted to the state of the Jewish Nation at the time when Christ made his. appearance. From a state of great power and influence they had fallen a prey to the persecution of their enemiesout4...4.tbo_dciults their misery they were looking for, a Deliverer who should avenge their wrongs and restore thein to their ancient preemi nence among the nations of theearth. Jeans did not fulfil their expectations. He came not as a warrior. but as a simple Reformer, and he boldiy denounced the Prints and Pharisees, and predicted not the risco. ration but the overthrow of the nation. The Jews were bewildered by his claims to Divinity. He would neither condemn nor justify their treatment of him, but he deemed it right to state the circumstances which mitig ated their offence. They conceived and executed th plan film his crueifixion under a decided panic, which was easily accounted for; and they were, moreover, but the agents of others. It was manifest thnt the purpmes of God were fulfilled in their reject , tion of him. for if they had received him they would inevitably have fallen under the perpetual dominion of the Roman power. The Lecturer maintained that the prophecies of, tbe Old Testameas clearly foretold the literal return of the Jews to the land of Palestine; and be presented a very interesting review of the rev olutions which have lately occurred in the East, and which be thought indicated the speedy fullitateent of those predictions. He appealed to Christians to id in this great uhjrct , and said that the first step to be taken was to obtain the permission of the Totkish Sultan for the Jews to become owners of the soil.— Christians biliened that the "Messiah had already come, and so he had to the Gentiles, but not to the Jews; and the Millenium predicted in Script•ire would not be fulfilled until thev_were sanaored to the land of their fathers, nor until ihe'temple was rebuilt. This is btu a very imperfect sketch of some of the principal points in the Lectote, which th-copied an hour and a half in the delivery.—Neto York 'Tribune. Chinese Printing.— The Chinese have always done their printing on the stereotype system, never using separate types. The Register iu relation to this sub ject says: Whether the Chinese will ever abandon their mere °type, system and adopt that of moveable types, is an interesting question. They, are, it is true, exceedingly tenacious of old , habits end customs. Yet we have' seen with astonishment, during the period in which they were fur the first time brought in contact with I European iroprovemeres in the art of engineering and casting cannon, in this short space of time, and have learnt it more practically and more cheerfully than the Turks have permitted themselves to learn in a century. We canner, therefore, bat atuttr important changes from the friendly intercouse which is likely to grow up between the most ingenious and the most in. dustrious ref Asiatics, and the European mind. The stationary character which has so long marked the / people of China, there is every reason to believe will be broken up , by the contemplation of European models of excellence, and wethink many years will not elapse before the Chinese adopt the European modes of print ing; and set their skilful attisans to cut punches on steel, which shell surpass in beauty everything that th 6 Europeans have yet been able to achieve. Proba bly within less than a gunner of a century, Canton may have its Wilson and Figgins and Callon, and founts of type may become as much an article of traffic in the Empire as they are in England. A Warning.—An agent of the coons who was engaged in the work of circulating the spurious Elec toral ticket in Port Clinton, Schuylkill county, a few days ago, having been caught in the act, his indignant captors rewarded hint with a sound ducking in the ca nal close by. He was then suffered to depart, under a promise to try to be honest, and as the fist necessa ry step toward this reformation, he pledged himself to avoid all intercourse with the Federal party as long as he lived.—PennsOmniern.
