PITTSBURGFI, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2
Tea Wino ADDRII4II:—The whig %Committee of
Correspondence has issued an address to the faithful,
in relation to Nita course Which it beeomes them to
+pursue:" The Address opens with a batch of as gross
falsehoods as everlell from the most mckless Coon.—
It.aays "the avowed-enemies of the Tariff" have tri
-tunpliedin the election of 'Putt. Do the Committee
-expect toconceel the faor that the existing Tarifwee
-carried in the Senate by Messrs. WRIGHT and Bo
'CRANAN, and through the House by the votes of 21
Democratic members? Do • they think to conceal
the fact tbat every - Tarifflill ever passed. was princi
pally by Democratic votes? Do tbsy forget
.that it was JAtisoir, Potx , and -their friends, Who
isucceasfelly mainteined the Tariff against the Nullifiers,
-until Clay stepped in with his Compromise, after re
fusing to sanction the measures proposed by Jackson
'for enforcing the collection of Revenues, and destroyed
-the Tariffl They certainly can have no hope to conceal
Aiwa matters of history, and yet they barer the audacity
-to say that the-Democracy are the "enemies of the Tit-.
-tiff," - and that the creed of the Nullifiers now will have
'the "ascendency." Think of the impudence of meh
-who would, say that -a victory gained by James
Suchaaan and Daniel Sturgeon and Silas Wright
and Fraud:x.l2. Skunk, and their political friends,
:40 a victory gained by the "avowecr.enemiea of the
Tariff."
Equally infamous and mendacious is the assumption
-that the Democratic party is hostile to the "uniformity
and stability of the currency," and that they are fa
vorable to "Annexation at all hazards, and to the ex•
tension of Slavery and Free Trade." Never has our
-currency been - better nor our exchanges cheaper, than
theyareacrw, under the Democratic policrofdispen
sing with a Bank. And it, as the Committee assert,
the Democrats - would have Texas "at all hazards,"
why did they not-tike it /an winter when they might
hare done so;
Mears glad That the whip committee has, in its
superior wisdom and forecast, predicted '•the pros
tration of our manufacturing establishments—the
4 ' declining demand for the labor of the at tisan—the
" drain of the country of its specie—the loss of the
"domestic market to the farmer," &c. We say we
are glad that the whip have officially and formally
put forth these predictions of evil—for they will be
signally falsified by fact, snll the people will have
another evidence of the falsehood and malice of Fed
eral fialitilians, and again learn how little confidence
le to be placed in any thing they wry.
But we will pass the bitter and malignant abuse of
the Democrats, and the atrocious falsehoods with
whichthe Address abounds, and come to the pith of
thlgpsecinus paper. its main ,:isjectwas to crack the
"'sconce" of Nativism, end time have they dealt the
blow.
"We must take the liberty of cautioning the whigs
against a new party which has lately grown into no
toriety, we mean, the. Native Americans. In this
county we have not coalesced with that party, and
we entreat our friends to abstain from connecting
themselves with it or any other party, as the inevi
table result would be the injnry or &Wreck:as of
their own."
How conspicuously the provetbial and inveterate
-treachery of the whigs is illustrated-in this paragraph.
Villein the Nativergave Markle a great majority in
-Philadelphia, and there well hope that they could be
-useful to etas., in that city and New York, Nativism
• wastriumphant among the whigs. "We will all join
you after the election," said the cunning coons. "Ey
. ary good whig is a good Native American, also." said
• their ptatses. !We wish Native AssociationsGed sped'
said Deacon White. But now, when it is ascertained
- ahatNativism is repudiated by the people, the cruel
• and treacherous itigig put forth the insulting "caution"
- above quoted. Some of the members of. the whig
piety, however,and indeed some of the members of this
very committee have been made to cut a pitiable fig.
ire, by believing that their unprincipled leaders really
-intended to join the Natives.
Among the names signed to the Address, we Fes
those of Wm Baylis of the sth Ward, and Jastss
GEACILT of the Ist Ward of the city. Under the
impression that the whiga intended to merge with the
Natives, Mr B. was active in getting up a Native
Association in the sth Ward, of which he was made
President, and we see Mr. G's name on a committee
to draft a Constitution for the Natives of the Ist Ward
Yet Mr Berge and Mr GBACILY have signed a paper
-solemnly warning their old fellow-partisans, the whip,
"not to connect themselves" with the "Native Ameri
can.." At the Native meeting over which Mr BAY rz
presided, (a few days ago,) the following resolutions
- .were adopted, and subscribed by him:
Resolved, That as American Republicans, having
the interest of our country at heart, we pledge our
selves to adhere to our purpose of affecting a change
-in the Naturalization Laws by all constitutional and
lawful means in our power.
Resolved, That we will defend our 13 ible and our
Flag against all 4.pptettion.
The following Resolution was offered by Mr Kelly,
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, as the Association of the Fifth
Ward, have full confidence in the general committee
from the different Wards, and do hereby promise out
hearty support to the candidates selected by them.
Here Mr. Barra pledges himself as an "American
'Republican, having the good of the country at heart,"
- to adhere to "the purpose of effecting a change in the
Naturalization laws." Yet Mr BAYNE in this Address,
"with indomitable resolution," proposes to the whigs
to be "firm and united, and to preserve their organize-
In the 2d Resolution above quoted, Mr. B. promi s e s
no defend "our Bible and our Flag against all opposi
tion." In the whig address Mr. B. floes not say any
thing about either Bible or Flag. Does be wish his
--follow-uitizensto enderstand that be has abandoned
his "Bible and his Flag," or that it needs no defence,
' because it has DO opposition
In the last resolution, Mr. B. says be has confidence
in the Native Committee, and promises to support the
•
-candidates selected by them. In the wbig address
Mr. B. advises therwhigs to "stand to their arms,"
- end "avoid alliances with other parties." Thus of
--coarse recommending them to ran their own eandi
-iialias and support them.
.As to Mr. Gescar, the other member of the Corn
-tedtten,wbose name appears to the Address,wehave
-not seenany Native document signed by him—not bay
• Jac been-idge to procure the Gonstirution prepared by
'Adam and•others for the Natives of the Ist Ward.
We have not alluded to the ridiculous position in
which they have put themselves by signing this address.
in any feeling of ili•will. We hare siocere respect Cyr
Messrs. B. and G., and hope that their name b ase
been put to this address under misapprehonsit#or
without their knowledge and consent. They °welt to
themselves to explain the singular inconsistency of
theirpredicantent.
An APICUCHT "NALT I / 1 1."—Lt is related, in Grar
tan's History of .the Netherlands. that a certain Kin
of the Frisons, with the euphonious name of Radbod,
was towered by a Christian Missionary; but et the ,
moment in whittli he put his foot in-the-water foe dhe
ceremony of baptism, he suddenly asked the tricot
where all his old Triton companions-in -arms bad
gone after their death. "Te hell," replied the prig&
-Well, then," said Radbod, drawing back his foot
from the water, "I would rat!.ergo to Hell with them,
than to paradise with you and your fellow-foreign
ers;" and he refused to receive the rites of baptism,
and remained a Vegan. If Radbod were here now,
he would be a fira rate Native candidateder Mayor.—
He would be a leading "Native."
riPrThe whig Convention of this county not only
intend to kill Nativisaihers but throughout the coontty.
They have their address printed in an extra, and are
sending it all over the country. Mr. - Deimos is de
termined to Destroy the new party,-"eooteadtwanch."
tar We have heard that the Natives boasted•that
seven hundred-him/joined their Association. At the
Mass meeting last week, for which great alone bad
been made—there were only fifty persons who voted
on the nominations, and it is fair to infer that this is
all that is left of the Native American party in our
city. If the Association 4 still in existence, a large
portion of the county would be much gratified to see
the names of the members in print.
17F`Wby did not the Whig Committee, when they
leased their Address repudiating Nativism, give the
Circular from the Whig Committee under whose ad
vice they are believed to have serer!? Did the Circu
lar come from New York,or Harrisburgb, orrhilimiel
phia, or Washington city? The committee should
have told the Coon. who gave the ordersamt "whir
they cum from!" Can the Gazette tell?
"CELLARS READY Dvo."—A correspondent of
the N Y Newe,infurms us of a person on Long Island,
who had contracted for the digging 01 a cellar, bat
since the election of Polk has abandoned the inten
tion, as there is no longer to be any fir otection to
American labor," and he will be able to import kis
cellars roads dug.
Is RE GOINO Yte—At the outset of the late
campaign, the editor of the Boston Atlas, declared,
with indomitable resolution, that he would "never
give rest to the sole of Lis foot till Clay was elected
President." He jogged along quite merrily through
the campaign, being urged on, occasionally, by the
keen lash of the Boston Post. Some curiosity is
manifested as to whether he is going yet. If he is
true to his promise, he is decidedly the most perseve
ring pedestrian of this century, and may have -reason
able expectation of overtaking the unfortunate owner
of the "CorkiLeg,:' who is believed to be get on his
pins and inevitably trudging along.
How :be whigs do hug a falsehood that they
think is of advantage to them. It has been shown by
undoubted testimony, that no democrat carried a Bag
with the motto "Americans should rule us,"—yet the
NA'. Express, and kindred prints, are-still harping on
the exploded fabrication.
ccrrespondent of the New York Mirror, in
describing the nemsliip of war Portsmouth, says she
has , four Paixhan 64 pounders, 'for shell, or shot, at
pleasure." We should like te know whose "plesiure"
she would consult in - the matter—and whether any
person of experience in naval warfare,enn tell•whetL
er there is more "pleasure" in being taken off
with a-shell than with a'64 lb. shot? There am
pleasanter employments than either giving or receiving
such flying complirnenu.
FACT VERSUS FICTION.
The disastrous consequences of the election of Mr
Polk upou - the general prosperity of the country—its
destruction of all confidence in either present or future
—its depreciation of the value of all property—the
terrible prospects which it opens before us of misrule
and ruin, according to the panic-making eloquence of
the whig press—are strikingly exemplified in the fol
lowing two facts.
Fact N0.'1.--On ibe 2Btb Of June hist, when Mr.
Clay was already elected by his patty newspapers, a
house in Perk Row was put up at *suction by E H.
Ludlow & Co., and the highest bid obtained for it was
$22,750. It was re-sold yesterdy by the same /tones,
and brought $29;000.
Fact No. 2.—About a month before 'the election, a
number of lots on Forty-ninth street, between Tenth
and Eleventh Avenues, were sold by Messrs E. H.
Ludlow fur $145 each. The sane sale was yester
day retained, and the lots exactly corresponding,
on the opposite tide of the street, wills no conceiva
ble superiority of value in situation, brought $225
each..
The above is from the New York Morning News.
Our owl city furnishes similar facts. A whig of the
most ardent kind, who quite forgot that panic-tnaking
was his cue, wu boasting to a Democrat that ha had
rented one of his houses for 1845 for $l5O more than
he had got for the last 4or 5 years. So much for
the election of Polk. A whig tradesman told us the
other day that he did not go in for the proscriptive
notions of his bunkum, for he found on examination,
that most of his customers wore Democrats.
NoEve CAROLINA..—No speaker of the Senate has
yet been elected, The Democratic candidate refuses
to vote for himself, else be might have been chosen.
Fear RACE —Since . the-last race on the Beacon,
says the N. Y. News, there has been much specula
tion about various races on different courses. Noth
ing however, transpired definitely until yesterday. Aire
are informed that Barlow, the winner of the lastvace,
left in the Roscius, for England. Greenhalgh has re
mained, as the best of the two, and a match has been
concluded for $4,000 between him and the Indian,
Steeprock; who has been sent for. The match is to
take place on the Beacon Coarse, on Monday, the 9th
December, or the first day thereafter, when the track is
good.
LONG-FACED NEW YORKERS.
Why are we Americans (as a nation) so grave a
people? Walk the streets, and a large majority of
the persons you meet are alike solemn and sallow.
They look as if they had just risen from the perusal
of-Blair', "Grave" or the "Elegy." vain Nature
smiles upon them. They return It net—their eyes
count the ground—their faces are filled with untimely
wrinkles—their gait is rapid and awkward—their
figures are gaunt and spectral—their voices husky and
uncomfortable, and their conversation finite unembroi
dered with wit or humor. Follow these people to
their homes—cal all is murky—they bend frowning.
ly over their newspapers—they bolt down their food
in silence. Wine gladdens not their hearts—they
neither dance, nor sing, nor frolic—they driveall gaye
ty from their wives and children, and make their do
mestic life as dull and senseless es one of Lillo's trage
dies. Why is this? Is life &heavier burden, a more
desperate struggle het e•tbap elsewhere? Are we
cursed with a dismal climate or a sterile soil? &lave
we ne business to do,or is opr labor without rewercif
Gratitude forbid that we should say so. Nature has
been most bounteous to us: she has given us *land as
full of beauty and grandeur as it is of all the elements
of wealth. Fairer skies never canopied mortals. Our
lakes ate seas—our rivers run their thousand leagues
unwearied—our watorfillls sing their ceaseless snags
.in the•forests--our mountains are worthy of the lonely
'alley* they protect—the rainbow., hues of autumn am
our peculiar boon--ttmeartk yieldi us an hundred fold
—we blush while we gather innturn so disproportiV
nets to our labors. Our encomium, too, have been
most 'oral to us. They have gigues a cad govern
ment and a goad name. We ate else blessed with
minds naturally active aud:ininsuise, and kept in per
petuel play by the freedom of our institutions. No
other nation has seen such a mus of intellect in con
stant employment.
Why then are we so unhappy, thus surrounded by
all the materials of happiness? is not the simple
truth this: we pervert our powers, and abuse our pri
vileges—we place our affectionsvpon the wrong ob
ject—we utterly mistake the erne prises of life—wee
pass by nature,ant,love,ftiendsbip, faith, and bow the
knee to Mammen—ere idolise it—we erect costly tem-
Oasis its honor, and on its altars we sacrifice our
healtheommobaraCter, our wives, our children! To be
rich, or to bethought rich, is with too many of us, the
sole,
seclusive, all-engrossing object of our lives.—
Thuethe beast contracts—the strontium droop and
wither, no tears water them; no smile warms them.—
Home becomes. dreary place. It loses its Sabbaths
and its holidays. The Muses and the Graces abandon
it. Its songs and its festivities, its hymns and its pray
er*, depart from it. Love and Faith dee affrighted
from its thteshhold. Sullenness, frowns, taunts, re•
poaches, these are its inmates. Its fireside becomes
one constant scene of jealousy, conspiracy and strife,
till at last iws almost long for Daub to break up and
destroy a place so depraved and perverted.

THE HESSIANS
The name of these unfortunate people has become
a term of bitter reproach in oar country, from a Tree!.
lectioh ef•the atrocities committed by Hessian merce
naries during the revolutionary war. Nut that the a
cruelties were of deeper-dye than those which usually
attend the horrid trade of weal not that the /leashing
shot and stabbed with peculiar savageness and cruel
ty, but because they were mercenaries. We think of
them only as slayers and ravagers for hire; mingling
with (earful agency in a swift: which had no national
interest fur, or claim uporn thear, asking the Fives of
men, women, and children, to whom they had no pre
text of animosity, and warring against dm liberties of
a people who baddonotitent no wrong, and givethern
no offence.
But this is not the jest, lunch less the generous,
vitae to take of the matter. We should reflect, that
in truth, the poor Hessian meteenaties had no volition
in the case; that they were dragged to the conflict in
voluntarily, if not unwillingly, the helpless and hap
less victims of an avirocious sovereign, to whom their
destiny bud made them subject. The Hessian sol
diers have had no chronicle to tell us bow they were
driven like sheep to the port of embarkation, crow
ded on board transports, and borne away, ignorant of
where they were to go, adverse, probably, to the work
that was to be exacted front them, but with no more
, power fo escape its performance and its hazards, than
the weapons which they carried. We may imagine,
but we have not been told, what scenes of parting an
guish were enacted, when husbands were thus torn
from their wires and children, sons from their aged pa
rentsibrothers from their sisters, and, perhaps, more
dearly loved ones, , in whom the best efections of their
hearts were garnered. It is as the unwilling and un
resisting objects of compulsion—unresisting, because
means of resistance there were none—that we should
consider them—not as voluntary - agents in "the cruelty I
and crime to whietrthey were consigned and driven.
We must think of them as have been described urns
by Mrs Shelley—almost the only English writer who
has limn:at:mil fur us a picture of the scenes
that attended the hiring of the Hessian mercenaries
for the war of the American , revolution. Thus she
speaks of them:
"It was in these territories'that a scene was enact
ed during the last century, so overlooked by history, that
I believe by-and-by it will only be remembered (how is
it even now?) by the commentators on Schiller. 'When
we read of the Hessians in the American war, webave
a vague idea that our goverment called in the aid of
foreign mercenaries to subdue the revolted .colo
nies—an act which roused Lord Chathnm, to ea
claim in the House of Peen: 'lf I were an A-,
merican. as I am an Englishman, while • foreign
troop was landed in my country, I never would
lay clown my arms no—never—never—never
!fever!' We censure the policy of government, we la
ment the obstinacy of George 111, who exausting the
English levies, had recourse to 'the mercenary sons of
rapine and plunder," and devoted the Americans and
their possesions to the repacity and hireling cruelty.'
"But our imagination does nottransport itself to the
homes of theunfortenate Germano; nor is our abhor
rence of tyranny that sent them to die in another hem
isphere awakened. Lord Chatham does, indeed, in
the same speech, from which the above quotations are
made, cast a half-pitying glance on the victims of their
native sovereign, when be talks of 'traffic and barter
with every little pitiful Berman prince that sells and
sends his iwbjects to the shambles of le re ign sovereigns.'
Schiller, in his tragedy of 'Cabal and Love,' describes
the -misery brought on his own counteymen more graph
ically. petty Gorman printe--natuely the Duke
of Hesse Cassel, or 'perhaps the Illargmvo of An
spach, who also dealt in this unholy tralfic---sends a
