The American Republicans met last night at Davis' Long Room, on th e corner ot-Fifth and Wood streets. Among other business transacted, was the repeal of that clause oftbeConstitetion of the Association; which declared thatmo foreigner ought to be eligible to of fice, whether& had become ,naturalized or not. It was decideditheost nnsaimcrualy. Tivis abovelimportant item e.pseared in the Cs now- Seta one day last week. We have not seen any notice obit in the Native Organ of this city, nor have WS seen any report of the proceedings of the meeting which made this important alteration in the Native • tweed. When the attempt was'first made to rescind the article which forbade'foreigners from bolding of "ice, we alluded to it as having been done to oblige certaieforeign "Natives," whose predilection for gffice is so strong, that they will join with a party which pre seams their countrymen, in order to obtain office; and who ere so supremely selfish as to deny to others the privikges freely granted to themselves, and who would ekes the door to citizenship in the faces of better men tbel they are. It would seem from the above notice, elsat these persons, who have taken the "dog and the ganger" for their exemplar, have had influence enough in the Native Association to make the party abandon an essential article of its faith fur tlteir particular ben efit. We observe that the Native paper in Louisville, Raid perhaps of other towns west of us, have adopted the programme of principles promulgated by this soci ety, including that concerning foreigners holding office. Will they follow the lead of the Pittsbargh Association, , and re-consider and expunge the feature in their or- Aanization most obnoxious to the foreigners who might be mean enough to join them ? We shall see. In the mean time we congratulate the'foreigo born "Natives' , on this first triumph of theirs in the Native associa tion. Let them go on; further triumphs may be ob tained. 4liilsikv we ate OW the topic of Nativism, we -cannot 6 foibear irpeidt Lord the earnesteess . and force with •vilich the flumes quotation from SCOT r, could be spout •eii•by Ate foreigners who are 'members of the Native Associations. How they can thunder out the patriotic lines "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself bath said, This in my men, my Native land; 'Whose heart bath ne'er within him burned, As honiehis footsteps he bath turned, From wasedeilagen a foreign strand." The Age quoted part of this the other day. It 'Ovoid be embodied in a Native song, to be sung by -foreign 'Natives' exclus i vely. se HONDRING HENRY CLAY.—In every wbig paper, 'we find some new proposition to do something notable 'Co hang Henry Clay, and to transmit his name and fame to posterity with glory. One proposition is, to boilda stone column mss it *Pared feet kiet—on which to be enscribed the glorious deeds of the "tallest man 4n the whig perty." This is it grand project of an , ter-built castle, and will be accomplished about the -same lime that the coons redeem the promise made itrlB4o, to give the workingmen two dollars a day and loan beef. - If they wish to preparilineoriptioms in advance, for this stone column, we would advise them to turn to the columns of the Gazette; they can make some "beau tiful extracts out of that journal, which will set forth the leading traits in Mr. Clay's life, with the truthful ness of impartial history. On the testimony of the -veracious Deacon, they may inscribe on the column what Henry Clay is, in the opinion ofono of his warm est supporters, an "immoral and profane " . man ; a mtlebauchee," and that his name was always an "omen ofilefeat" to his party. These would be very preuy 'inscriptions on a-column erected to the honor of Clay, sand their propriety would be the more apparent on ac -count of their being the honest sentiments of a leading whig editor. Another plan of doing honor to Mr Clay, which has teen recently suggested (and it is the funniest of them , all,) is to hang Aim oa wires, or, as announced in `she notice, to build a "Wire suspension Bridge" at Wheeling, "in token of gratitude to Henry Clay, and as a token of remembrance of his great services." This is certainly the most original-token of gratitude zbat, we ever saw suggested. To build a "Wire Sus pension Bridge" to remember a man by, is something new under the sun, but when we recollect how long Mr Clay's hopes have been in a state •ilf suspension, it cannot be considered inappropriate, that the momen ta of his "groat services" should bo suspended. The following, we think, would be a very felicitous inscription for a tablet, to be pinceil in a conspicuous _position on the Bridge: He wires in and wires out, And leaves the people still in doubt, - 'Whether the snake that made the track 'Was going south or coming hack. 1 If Messrs. ALEXANDER & DAY, who seem desirous Ito bring their store into notice by a controversy with the Post, authorized the statements made in an - article in the American of Saturday, they are greater - liars than the greasy brute who published it. Every statement in like ankle, concerning the edi tors of the PosT, is basely and grossly fate. The very faint semblance of part of the story to the facts which gocourresl. only makes the falsehood of the whole more vile and infamous. 1-ITHas the Poq so soon forgotten that Torn, ereon ' s accomplice, convicted in the same Court, rat pardoned by Gar. Porter? If he had power to pardon Todd, why not exercise it in behalf of Hen. dectsonl—Age. 7Thw Parr certainly has not "forgotten" the article 'alltulEd wirer the Post never beard of it till now.— We questior; tho.staternent.af the Ana, that Todd volt pardoned by GovdElaarta, and would desire it to tiawitb prod. • .14t3V-SLITALSLZ titSTORICAt:FATt!-Duiing the reign of Queen 'Anne, of England, a bilitwas passed in a statute for the naturalisation of all Protestant. foreign ers, by a systematic and general law.

Courier. v.sAdtl so because liberal laws of naturalization did not- preve -seugenial in a monarchical goyernment, there ore, they are not suited to this Republic. This is the Native argument. We cannot see the force nor the justice of it. IMPORTANT pIIOCIAMATION.--Goy. Gen.

IN NEw YORK.—The N. Y. Nfirror soems to be perfectly enraptured with the Italian sing ers now performing in New York. Mr. Wit.t.ts de votes a column every day to a critical record of their musical achievments, and seems to throw his whole mind and heart into the subject. Although very fund of music, we would much rather read one of WILLIS' lively and polished notices of an opera thansee it per formed. We never had en opera enacted but two or three times in this city, and then it was whispered among (metals's:P.l34mm that the ,Italian of the singers was not sufficiently pure! .This, of course, was fatal to their prospects, and the company, unwilling to peso the ordeal our merciless critics were preparing. left be; foretheir hambug was fairly detected. Poor Antoguini was so much vexed at the idea of being discovered, that the connoisseurs assert that he broke his arm in the agony of his mortification! HARRISBURGH, December 5Lh, 1844 Dear Sirst—A tragical scene was witnessed here yesterday, by some thousands of persons. Shortly after the evening train of cars had left for the West, the Rail Road Bridge was discovered to be bon.fire. The citi zens and strangers collected, and made several attempts to artest the flames. At the Island, they tried Inertia to cut down thebridge. They were driven off before the work was completed. A keg of powder was then pieced upon one of the piers—it exploded, but failed is the object intended. Fur a short time this beauti ful structure seemed to have been left to its fate.— Spar. after span were lighted up with flames and then preciptated into the river. A final attempt was made to save part of the bridge. Wotkmen commenced cutting it down between ewe of the piers; while thus employed, a great many persons collected near them. Thoughtless they remained until the fire had comf le ted be work of destrattiet at the farthest and of the span on which they were standing, and the whole af fair from pier to pier, fall with a crash into the river. It was a thrilling spectacle, and the thousands look ing on were horror-struck. The loss of life is not so great as was at first anticipated. One man was kil led upon the spot—others were nut expected to live last night. Rumor also states that several are missing. Most of the persons who fell with the bridge are more or less injured, and many hair-breadth escapes were made.— I passed along the river immediately after the occur rence. Men and women were rushing to tbe one point, making eager enquiries after members of theirrecpec tive families, who were absent from their homes, and whom they were apprehensive might be among the 'supposed victims. It was a distressing sight. You may well ouppoee that a gloom was east over the town, and that the proposed torch-light procession, which was to come off in honor of the recent Democratic victory, was dispensed with. The loss of thebtidge will be severely felt. The Company are not able, it is said, to rebuild it. There was no insurance upon it. The Electors for President and Vire President, met yesterday, in the Senate Chamber. After depositing their votes for Polk and Dallas, tbey ad,lourned until this morning, to finish some business connected with their appointment. Wilson M'Candleut was //elected as the.presiding officer. He filled they station with dignity, and at the close of his duties, I delivered as neat era chasten valalicibry, as I have ever listened to. Mr. Lehman, was selected as the person tocarty the returns of the State to Washington. Yours, &c. I'. FOR THE roar. THE DIFFERENCE. When Mr. Eichbanm expressed, his dissent from the Dunlop Address, the Gazette used iri alluding to him, the following language : "In courtesy and justice to dir. Eichhaele, whom we highly respect, we give his card fro ni the Ameri can of Saturday." * * "We midi° these re marks in fell confidence in the purity of Mr. Eich, ea meals naives." This was certainly sugaring over the comments upon Mr. Eichbaiiin in the sweetest way possible. But Mr. Bay's followed in the 'footsteps of Mr. iEichbaum. The honest editor of the Gazette forgets 'the "coot tesy and justice" dne to him; gives him no 'credit for "purity of motive," but pounces down upon hitnin the.following fashion: "Wei:ionic,s that we were perfectly astonished on reading the above. Mr. Bayne has hitherto professed to belong to the Antimasonic and Whig party, and has acted with the party during the late ever memorable struggle. He was also a member of the "(central Ccrasmillee," with whom he bad acted in harmony and conceit, aislit is charitable to suppose iiigood faith. He was acquainted with the stated times of the meet ings of the Committee, and if he did not attend to his duties, as in accepting a membership of the Committee he agreed to, he had so righs to complain if every thing mat not transacted to his mind. llt has al ways been customary to place the names of a whole Committee to any official document, whether they were present or not, as it is fairly to be presumed that they possess confidence in the judgment of their fel low-committee men, or they would attend to speak for themselves " Here the courtesy due to Mr. Eichbanin omitted, but the Deacon is "perfectly astonished" at Mr. Bayne's conduct. "He had no ri4ht to com plain if every thing was not according to his mind."— Nnw, I would ask that base creature, w6t makes the difference between Mr. Eichbaum and Mr. Bayne, that the one should be treated with so mach courtesy, and the other assailed with so much ruffianism, for the very same act. Is Mr.. Eichbaum a wealthy man, and Mr. Bayne consparativel 3 , poor I Was the former a whig, and the latter an early and true-hearted Antimason Or, as is most probable, is Mr. Eiehbauin one of the "fifteen Whigs," tied dil the base spirited creature who edits the Gazetussetseupon the opportunity afford ed by Mr. Bayne's card, to pour out on him the venom which he dared net-issue against sme of his owners. A Noble Exasople--" Who'll jollosof". 7 The clerk of -Fanelli Hall Market, Boston, received `on Tuesday I last, a check for oae hundred dollars from Samuel Ap pieton, Esq., with II ragman that it might be .invested .in turkeys, ttr any other imitable provisions,and dis :Abated among the poor of thecity of kfiesteneto give them a good dinner on Thanksgiving Day. the re. quest was properly attended to, says the Mercantile, and many beans were doubtless glasidesedbytke time ly• Guano.—The firs cargo of this valuable manure that ever arriT ed at this port direct, was imported )es terday in the barque George and Henry, Captain Hischo hem chines Island, 2 deg south of Callao. Y News. The Irstlnaiiness was she election of,it Vhapbrin. On the . first lallorthe Rev. Se limns Tultin was re elected. He received 27 eut.of the 28 votes cast. The usual standing committees were ordered to be , appointed, antipolice' of unimportant billawere giv en. Nothing else of inipostance ttanspired. ' A joint resolution was introduced by Mr Pratt, Of New York, reviling fur the loaning to Agricultural fairs and tittle shows. the tents and marquees belong ing to the United States, providing that security be given for returning the some in good order. Mr P. is not a speech ranker, but for sennd practical business like habits, he has not his equal. .He is a great friend ‘of this District, anti has tone more than any other man to advance its intereets. He intends, I understand, tom mew his effort to get an appropriation for a grand Monumental square near the Mill. He also gave I notice of a bill so regulate site parof the army. Mr Dirt, of S C., gave notice that he will, to-mar row, ask leave to intreduoe a bill to repeal the duty on cotton bagging and gunny cloth. This will omen ~the tariff campaign. Thebattle promise.s to be fierce. • Notices of several other bills were given. Among them was a notice of a bill to abolish the franking privilege. It will be hiburtin wain. Mr Duncan asked leave to introduce his bill /for casting the vote fur President and Vice President on the same day. Leave was granted by a unanimous vote. So the bill was introduced sod read twice. It is in substance the same bill which passed the House last session, but which was lost is the Senate for want of ume to consider It. Mr Duncan thought there was nt' necessity of a refer ence to a committee. lie hoped the House would at once pass the bill. Mr Elmore said this was en important subject, and argued in farm of a reference to the committee on elections. Finally after a long dispute as to the disposition of the bill, it was referred to a committee of the whole and ordered tobe printed. On motion of Mr Burke, a resolution was adopted, withorizing the appointment of a select committee to ascertain whether the banks of this District have not violated their chartets. If they have, they willibeve no mercy. Congress is anything but a tender parent to them. On motion of Mr Holmes, of S C., the Houle then proceeded to vote fnr n chaplain. The succesAful can didate was the Rev. Mr Daley. I believe be is a Me thodist. The House then adjourned. The House will adjourn from to-morrow until Mon day, in order to afford the Speaker an opportunity of appointing the standing committees. Their com. pleaion will not vary materially from that of last sestribn. Mr Pennington is here again relative to his steam balloon. He is determined to persevere until ho gets an appropriation. It is said that Mr Secretary Bihb bad his pocket picked the other evening of a splendid copy of Ches terfield, recently presented to him. This letter, which we received last night to late for the press, give. the result of the Missuuti senatorial election: JErFER6OI4, Nov. ^O. 1814. "Messrs. Blair 4. Rives :—We have just held our senators) election and have carried Col Benton by a handsome majority, and Gen Atchison by a majority still larger. You send us cheering news, and wa are sending you news not less cheering. The signs are that whigery, softism, and Penn, are all dead in Mis souri. Very respectfully, your obedientservant." ' Col Benton's majority was 17, we understand. It was pure, kard, democratic vote—not a soft (16 the paper money men ate called) voted for him nor a whig save one or two, who, as we learn, were instructed. Col Benton's vote was like that for Governor Ed wardsin the August gubernatorial election. Both were opposed to the uttermost by the softs, and all who were disaffected to the party; and the governor's vote mien ted this phenomenon: he had a greater vote on the polls that the defitocratic candidates for Congress vo ted far at the same time. but a less majority; and the reasons was that the whirs concentrated their vote a gainst him, and for his antagonist. The result proves how much he was loved by the friends of the democrat ic cause, and feared by its opponents. :Senator Atchison, although he obtained a larger vote than Colonel Benton, neither courted the opposition, nor made any sacrifices to obtain it. Those who voted for him, and against Col Benton, did so rather to mat k their hostility tp the latter, than their love for the former. They would luau beaten General Atchison if the could.—Globe. Air Cashinr's Treaty.—By the barque Sappho, Crocker, nt Boston, we have advice. from Canton to August 3d, and from Macon to the 4th, four days -la ter than received by way of England. The Sappho has brought home despatches for our Government ftom Mr Cushing, among which is the treaty that he has concluded with China. Mr Cushing was nt Macao when'the Sapho left, and was to sail in the U S brig Perry fur Mazatlan, on the Mexican coast on his way homeward, on th• 15th of August. Mr Cushing and the gentlemen attached to the embassey were all well. Capt Crocker reports that barque Convoy, Capt. Joshua Towne, of Boston, which had sailed from Ma cao, July 24, for this port, had been attacked by a pi ratical Chinese Junk, which Captain Town succeeded in capturing, and had taken his prize to Hong Kong. The Law in Relation to Mobs.—Chief Justice Gibson, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in his charge to ihe jury. in Philadelphia, on Thursday, in the case of Donahoe against the county, declared that the firing upon a mob was perfectly justifiable, when that mob was assailing a man's house. He said, in reference to that particular case, "If the assailants hid been shot down, it would have been a case of jus tifiable homicide;" and added, "Any attempt to com mit arson justifies bomicide in defence, especially in the night time. A man has a right to keep whatever arms he pleases in his house, and to introduce men to use theta. And he can take them whets I e pleases, whether he apprehends danger or not. This is a freeman's privilege. Any man who cannot arrest another in the perpetration of airless, his a right to lake his life, as a measure of necessity." The chief justice was particularly severe in his animadversions upon mobs; and observed that if it were "treason to oppose a mob," as he had heard it said latterly, "he had lived quite long enough, and did not care to pro long his life another day." Bey some Matches, Sir?--The extent to, which the manufacture of lu fifers is now carried may not be gen erally known. One firm in London manufactures week ly 2 tons containing 10,800,608 matches. This im mense quantity, if placed length-ways, would reach a distance of 426 miles, or in twelve months nearly make the circumference of the globe, and nigh 130 tons. To make this quantity, V 4 miles of plank. 8 in ches thick and 1I incites wide, would be required, and nearly 200 hands, including men, women, and chil dren, besides two steam engines, kept constantly em ployed.

When your father and I commen ced, we had nothing but a dish-kettle. I used to boil my coffee in it and pour that into a pitcher; thee boil my potatoes in it, and put them on a plate, while I used to stew up my meat in it; and always after meals I fed the pigs out of the same kettle. You can do a greatdeal with a alb-kettle, Sally, if you only have a mind to." aim Brazil.—By the arrival of the brig Henry, i 4 days from Rio Grande, we learn by Capt Means that it mamma:toted at Rio Grande that Gen Rosa bad declared war against the Brazilians, and they were making preparations to defend themselves in case of an invasion. Business was completely stagnated.— The bark George and Henry, Capt Kineb, arrived yes terday from Cbiocs, Wand, two degrees south of Cal lan,, with guano, the first ever imported into this city.

Wo ex pect toitear next that we are setting up a new dynasty at Pekin. By the way, the inventor of this story— the Editor of the New York Republic newspaper— ought to be whipped by his employers for the clumsi ness with which he has forged whet Sheridan calls the ' "endorsement to the lie." He pretends to give a re port of the public meeting in Manchester, at which this subscription was commenced, and puts the 'Lord Provost' in the chid! -Be-it known to all interested, that Manchester-has no such funcsicmare; and we need hardly aid, that the persons over whom be had pre sided, a long list of whose names is given in the Re public. had no bodily existence there. It is bad 1 enough for the reputation of American Democracy in 1 Europe, when we are tol i that there are any large number of persons in the United States to be 'deluded by such trash: but what most he thought of the Re i public, an& other protectionist Ftfints, wbocan be gul lea byraw-hea&-and-bloody-bones stories, such as the above. Why, English school children would be proof against sash clumsy attempts upon their credulity." Ruin is fast:approaching—So say Ike W7eigs. —Perhaps it is so, but if it be, the explosion will oc cur from plethora and not from starvation. Already the channels of business are obstructed by the num berless aspirams for wealth, and daily the throng is increasing. Money is begging at every door fur ad mittance and can find none. Capital may be had for four per cent, and no dema tul at that; Idanufactunsts and Machine makers are xmable,.by Treason of 'the press of orders to take any more, and new mills must await their turn for machinery, like the long beards in the barber's shop on Saturday night wait fur a shave. Still the cry is "ruin," "ruin" and made too by the very men who are pocketing the coin. Wo are informed that there were gentk-men in this town last week who had orders for $40,000 of machinery and were cmpelled to take them elsewhere, neither Rog ers, Ketchum & Grosvener, nor Danforth being able to execute them by March,-1845, when they were requi red. It must be time not for machine makers to re duce wages and curtail bulittess. Theycerfainly cught to discharge a few Democrats, or it would not look zealous enough for the cause of Clay and Federalism.— From this it appears that the capacity for supply in our town tstaxed to its utmost until March next, and be fore then we have time enough to prepare for she ap proaching storm; for it most, and we are con fidentially informed trust the Whig business men are determined to make no money after that time under Polk's administmtion. Don't tell this to any one, be cause we learned it as a great secret. They say they will ruin the country any way and starve themselves— ha! hall—Paterson Guardian. Tender Merey.—The Evening Mirror states that a gentleman of this city bought a piece of property, some years ago, for $:?.0,000. He paid $lO.OOO "down," and for several years the interest on the bal ance. The mortgage he bad given was foreclosed, the property bought for a small sum and a decree entered for the balance, which was about $lO,OOO. The mort gagee, not content wit laving his land back again and $lO,OOO, has filed what is calks' a creditor's bill, to see if he cannot find sonsetlting morecm which to lay his hands! This is the mercy which some creditors exhibit. Facts Respecting Mr Polk —During a journey in the western and southern States, last summer, we travelled several days with a very candid and intelli gent gentleman from Columbia, Ten 1., the residence of the Hon James K Polk, President elect of the Uni ted States. He informed us that, in the walks of pt vale life, Mr Polk is highly respected; that he is a slaveholder, indeed, but not, as has been often stated in papers, one of the richest and most extensive slave owners in the State; that he may be worth some $25.- 000, a port only of which property is invested in slaves. Mr Polk has no children. His accomplish ed lady is a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. The gentleman also stated that, thought different opinions are honestly entertained as to his fitness for the Presidency, on account of his political creed, yet, so fur as his private life is concerned, he will do honor to the exalted station to which he has since been calk-d.—New England Puritan. The Railroad Car —Travelling carriages are out of fashion. Everybody goes by the steam boat or rail road car. You cannot now tell the million ire ex route, from the barber who takes him.by the nose. The Southern chivalry who used to visit our high nothern latitudes with four in hand, now sit side by side with the Yankee pedlar. They no !anger expend ten bales of cotton for a coach, to be housed on their return home under a tree. but come without any other noise than that common to all travellers—the steam whistle. They now rush out like everybody else, at theeating houses along he line and demolish a six penny pie without self-reproach, and swallow a glass of root beer, without commiseration. All ranks and conditions are reduced to a level in locomotion, and the dangers of the way are shared equally by the rich and the poor. Still some differences or manner witty be remarked even now. The railroad car is indeed neu tral ground, where all meet on equal tettits. and yet we may there find the hum-rn character displayed in many striking varieties; and very often we find a com plete cootradictien between the appearance , and the reality.— True saa.
