ebe Dail!) „Morning post. THOS. PHILLIPS t WY. H. SMITH, EDITORS. PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER II Ell/M1 . 3 OF THI EL ECTIO/11.—The correspoefient of a neutral paper in New York, writing frem Washing-, ton city, thus discourses of Mr Ctsv'sdefeart -"Tisa-eitegnine *reef Mr Clay's election had fill ed the people with extravagant expectations of all kiadb.• They made calculations and arrangements for a very large increase of business. Several new hotels have justheem openeB, and the boarding - house keep ers hate 'Medea 'large expenses in furnishing and gcniatup." That the ',Ailey entertained most "extravagant es: Petitilitiani n :from Mr Clay's success, we have inertias: leg evidence every day. But we should like to know an whet reasonable ground they based their "cel ciliations and arrangements for a very large increase of business." There was no reason to look for a sud ^den-and extensive increase of population in case of 'Clay's election—on the contrary, the triumph of the principle:sof Nativism, which would necessarily have talten place In the person of Mr Cloy, would have brill s. tendency to check and restrain emigration, and would bave lessened,in some degree, the hitherto rapid progress of population. Ilow, then, was there worn vs "anticipate a_large business!" Would our twenty wiDlions of people have required more food -and rai— ment under the administration of Finlay CLAY than theywill under that of JAMS! K Pots. I And as the business and labor of !he country is chiefly employed ip.housi og,feed log and clothing, educating and enlight ening our twenty raillions,we apprehend there will be as mach necessary and profitable haziness to a. for *ho nest four years, as there would have been if Clay Lad been elected. But, the writer says, that several new hotels have jest been opened, "and that large expenses of furnish lig awl getting up," have been incurred by the board_ lag house keepers of Washington. We sue to infer that the bearding bruise and tavern keepers of that city, hoped us reap a large harre l st from Mr CLAY'S elec tion, which they cannot expect to realize in Mr. roue, success. We think their fears are not without foundation. The idea entertained by a large majority of this wbig party, that the action of the government had and should have unlimited power over tke business and prosperity of the country, would no doubt have filled The public houses of Washington with hosts of seekers after government favors of all kinds. There would have been borers for office, and borers for a greet banking corporation, and borers for special laws granting special privileges to peculiar people and pe culiar interests. There would have been borers for appropriations to an aorta of improvements, for one of the ideas of the Whigs is that Congress should furnish funds to carry on improvements of every description all over the country. All this would satumlly have concentred in Washington an immense number of persons,who, feel ing Confident that Congress and the President could add would make them all rich, and keep them -so;' would have lived luxuriously, and lavished their mo. ney in a way entirely agreeable to the Hotel and Boarding House keepers. What would a few hun dreds, expended for a Supper or a Ball, be to people with expectations like theirs. "Haven't we elected CLAY!" they would ask, "and will not the whig policy furnish us with plenty of money fur all these elegant enjoyments'!" That such were the feeling. and expectations of the whigs, which Lave been overthrown with Mr Clay, a 'mother paragraph from the letter above quoted will show: The writer says: "I doubt whether Washington is to be very gay this -winter. It is said that several of the diplomatic corps lens to entertain, and we shall of course have the usu al splendid assemblies of the seas In. But the mast .hospitable persons in the city are Whigs, and after the latemeespected and untownrd result, they will scarce ly *win the Samar for fashionable gaily. There will ••of . coarsetins many elegant women here from different :parts of the country—a session never passes without theme—few will come, however, in comparison witt 'those who were expected in ca s t Mr Clay bad been - clotted." We feel very acutely for the distress of the " hos whigs" and the "elegant women" who will not - go to Washington—'so they wont'—because Mr CLAY is-defeated. But then his s comfort to know that • if the. gay-saloons of Washington will be less bril 'Rant:midden frequented, the humble homes of all our vasteountry will contain more joyful beau—that if the gay and giddy weep for the loss of their expected : pleasures, and will not be comforted,—the toil-warn masses will rejoice with exceeding great joy. TRR - LIIIT EFFORT •r THIC NATlvEll.—Yesterday the Natives gave their laerkielc as altisrinct party— they will now fullback to theirrolo position, at thetail - of Deacon White and the fifteen whip. Their Convention to nominate a candidate fur ,Msyor -aid other city officers, met at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and we understand they were willing to give the nomination to MrJaynea once more, but that gemleman, feeling justly indignant at the manner in which the association rejected him when he was first selected, or not feeling disposed to be victimised, sent them word that be did•not want any of their favors. This may not be the exam hogoage of his communica tion, but it was to this effect. They were somewhat disconcerted by this informs • tion, but as S R JortesTon, Esq, a gentleman who is 'highly respected by our citizens of all parties, bad' 'Down some little predilection . for Nativism, they `thought they would bring tim to the sacrificial block, and accordingly, gave him a unanimous nomination.— But as soon as Mr. JORN STOIC heard of the impudent liberty they had taken with - his name, he also declined the Itoner, and gave thorn to understand that he bnd no dispositiortto accept favors that Mr. iArnts had con sidered worthless. This 'completely nonplussed our native friends, and feeling convinced that it . would be impossible for them toind any person willing to Vte cept. the nomination which Messrs. JATNES and JOHN' srori had declined, they adjourned tomeet on Saturday - evening, after the Whigs settled on a candidate; and then, we presume, the natives will discover that tho whit is the very best man they could have temarry•out 'the objects of their party! This is the last effort of Nativeism; about the time df 'the city election, it will have "fizzled out at the small • end ofthe horn," and be again lost in its original Me meat—bletvligld federalism. Van OLD SOLDIUM RI:AUDI/A - CD HI TAE NATIVES. —We learn, from the proceediags of the Native Con wention, held yesterday, that'Capt. E. F. Pratt, one of garrison's soldiers, was rojectea to make room for a Capt. Cooper, who, we believe, was at Blaec Reek,, rlurnrg the last war. This shows how little the Natives: car e for the real defenders of the country.

FOR rh POST WILLIAM F PACKER. F.SQ. Messrs Editors:—l was gratified to see that the name of Wm F Packer, Esq. is t be brought before the Members of the Legislature, as a candidate fur the Senate of the United States. He is a man of great abilities, prompt. energetic and decisive in all he does or says or writes. His active an efficient la bors as Canal Commissioner, and his more recent and arduous labors as Auditor General, have distinguished him at the seat of government, and given him pope luaritv and deserved celebrity throughout the State. Mr Packer is an ardent democrat, and knowing him to possess abilities that would render him en honor to the State, 'awl useful to the nation, I trust that the period has arrived, when his talents will not only be appreciated, bat appropriated by our represen tatives for the common benefit of the people. BRUTUS. IMPORTANT TRIAL At the late election here, as our readers know. a party of sovereigns from the pine woods. headed by good and true Whigs, marched to the polls, under a flag of spotless muslin, bearing the mystic words, 'Pro tection to American Industry.' These patriots, in ap pearance, strongly resembled the prints we have seen, of Napoleon's cuirassiers. and their martial bearing was the subject of general admiration. Unfortunately for the cause of patriotism, and the country, there is a dark side to the picture. It ap pears that on the return of the heroes to their wood land homes, three of them "fell out" about a mule, which was given to them by an opulent Whig neigh bor in payment for their votes. The quarrel grew out of a division of the spoils, and waxed warm The condition of sale, that the mule should be the property of the three, but how could a division be made? A yearling hog, or sheep. could have been butchered on the spot, and equally divided—but a mule! the idea of quartering a mule?—it.could not be entertained! And should one party retain possession of his serene excel lency, what benefit would the other parties to the coo tract derive from such retention? In this dire dilemma arbitrators were called, but they could not hit on any plan satisfactory to all con cerned. The stubbornness cf the mule, es he beard unmoved the deep consultations touebing his fate, was totally eclipsed by the stubbornness of his uwners. At length one of the disputants, who is something of a wag, broke forth thus: "Fellers, if ye'll jilt say afore SaarJankins, yonder, that the tail of the critter b'longs to me, I'm off." "Agreed," said the other two, who ozA uld not eon. ceive nny advantage derivable front the possession of a mule's &disturber. . . . "Then - a—m me," said the wicked wag, " if I don't have my intemst," at the same time drawing a Bowie knife. with which he clipped off a necessary appendage to all mules. A suit for damages has been brought by the remain ing owners of the poor animal, and we hear that em inent counsel are engaged on either 'side. We intend publishing without cur , TAIL-ment, 11 report of the tri al as soon alter its cotrclusion as possible. Red River Rep. Mare "Panic" Facts.—the Washington (Ohio) Jeffet sonian .of the 29th ult. say4:—"Since the elec tion of James K. Folk as President of the United States, we perceive that the prices of produce are gradually advancing all over the country. We under stand that the pork dealers of this place are now pay ing $2,50 per hundred fur pork, being fifty cents more on the hundred than was paid last year. So much for the ascendancy of Democratic men and measures." rip It is reported that the Special Agent sent by 'President Rooster' to negotiate a Commercial Treaty between Texas and the Hansa Towns, has been alto gether failed at Hamburg, and that his failure is ow. ing to the threats eflthrt Mexican Counsnl General at that city to break of all - intercourse if any attention Isere pad to the ropreseatative of Texas. Thee Place of Honor:--Notwithstanding the talk about "Repudiation" in England, • the.plac• of honor has been accorded to the United States in the decora tions of the new Royal Exchange in'London—the ar morial ensigns of Great Britain being p'aced over the centre of the West portico, and those of our country over the East portico.

This the Pictortuas calls barkirig up the wog rue, REPORT or !HZ SECRETARY Of irirlß.—T!leAf , - port of the Secretery of Wm, is a very able donating, and gives much useful inforuaationgm al subjectOliet nevus!! with his department. The Report if too long topeblith entire in our columns, but we give a tom pretensice synopsis of it, which we are meireieet will afford much satisfaction to our readers. The regular force of the army, consietinc of eight regiments of infnntry, four of artillery, and two.of_dra goons, is under the command of the major general of the army, Its disposition, condition, and inervernents, are detailed at length in the report. Fort Kent, in the Madawaska. settlemeatta, he has had ocaapked,. _ - A military potthasln.en established at Copper Her on the extremity of the peninsula which jute out far into Lake Superior from the middle of its southern shore. Besides giving protection to the /stollens and 'gainers; and preserving order in • now settlement of Such a mixed population, its forms one point in the cordon, which the general extension of oar settlements and the enlargement of our territories by Indian trea ties are about rendering necessary to be established in accordance with the policy which has heretofore been adoptedea our north-western frontier. With a view , to that policy, and to preserve the military posts al , ready established upon our lake frontier, be recom mends the appropriation cf funds to renew .the build ilgs of Fort Gmtiot, commanding the straits between , Lake Huron and Lake St Clair, and of Fort Brady at the Falls of St Mary,.apria the outlet of Lithe Superior, originally constructed in haste and of slight and perish able materials. The remounting of the second regiment of dragoons &II enlarge the very best force for military service in the prairies—an indispensable duty now devolving on the government. Without destroying the military departments, as established by a general order of the t2th day of July, 1842, and at the-same time preserving the command and the control of the major general, commanding in chief, over the forces of the line, he has reinstated the two geographical divisions of the army. The prevalence of tranquility in Florida has caused the withdrawal of the troops thence, and the humane removal of the few remaining Seminoles is likely to be hastened by the suggestion of the Executive to the . General Commanding in that territory. In regard to the erection of bamcks for soldiers in any situations, some suggestions are made, and Con gress recommended to make appropriations therefor, especially on the sea-board. There is also a recom mendation in favor of single iron bedsteads for the sol diers, instead of the double wooden one; and the swab lishm ent of schools and plaits of religious worship at all our permanent fortifications. There are now four companies of horse or light field artillery, all of which are well drilled, yet defective in organization. The enlistment of a few additional men in this branch of the service is required. The Secretary visited the military academy at West Point during the examinatio.t. and unites his commendation of this institution to the many which have been so repeatedly urged upon it by his prede cessors He .argues at considerable length in its fa vor, as'an institution of republican tendency, and ur ges that a joint committee of Congress be appointed to inspect it, or that the authority be restored to appoint an runnel board of visitors. The Secretrry says he would encourage resigna tions by officers of the army, after twenty five years see vice,with a pension in the shape of a section of public land, and two yews' furlough on full pay, with the con dition, should he avail himself of this privilege, that his eommluion be vacated at the termination ofhis fur lough; and be suggests the'propriety of passing a law to that effect. He also suggests the enactment of a law, granting to officers of the fine the same pay, em oluments and allowances now given to officers of the same grade of the staff corps in which those officers of the line may be detailed for service- The propriety of fully completing the fortifications of the country is strongly urged. . Whilst Fort MoHenry,--vi work of inferior forte,— is available to resist a particular kind of hostile attack upon Baltimore, it forms tha.nuly ilefenee by fortifica tion to that important city. The true defence and safe ty of Baltimore will, it is believed, be found in the e rection of permanent works on SAW* Point Flats, a bout ten miles below the city. Let the reposed fort upon those flats be completed, sod the inhabiter:its of that city will no longer have oecasieo to apprehend a second battle at North Point. The resumption of the work upon red Delaware, at the Pea Patch, is anxiously desired by all those in terested in the commerce anti country of Philadelphia, Wilmington and Newcastle, of the Delaware and Ches apeake Canal, and of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad. The sum of $20,000, re-eppropriated at the last session of Congress, if it can be rendered available, would be sufficient for this important objer:t for the ensuing year; and it rests with Congress to say whether the Government shall continue satisfied with the presumption of title in its favor,.anti will remove the restrietton upon the expendittne of the appropria tion. The recommendation is renewed to purchase a site fora Fort on Staten Island. N. Y., immediately oppo site Fort Hamilton, and to either !ell or exchange Fort Ganseeoort, rendered useless by the growth of Now York City. The renewal of the works at the Rip Raps is recommended ; and it is thought that something ought to be done in the way of fortification south of Caps Hatteras, at some point matte southern shore of Georgia; also on the Florida. Reef. .Informa tion received from an officer sent to procure it, leads to the opinion that the work should be constructed either at the harbor of the Key West or the Tortugas Rock. Either of these points, if its fortifications shall be completed, will be of vast advantage in a contest with a naval power, if our own naval force could keep command of the gulf. But whilst this latter was pro blematical, it would only laavebesin building a Malta, or erecting a Gibraltar, to add to the superiority of an enemy, who, if master uf the gulf, would easily starve the most devoted garrison, placed on a small and bar ren island, into capitulation. If our naval force on the gulf should only be furnished from the seaports on the Atlnntic. (which, for a long time, was admitted to be the case,) such. in fact, notwithstanding the ac knowledged prowess and devotion of that, national arm of defence, would inevitably have been itte desti ny of a garrison on die Dry Tortugas. A report from this department to the execntive,on the sth December, 1810, was the first official announcement that our government bed diacoveredits possession of other ele ments of naval power. its existence had attracted your attention, and has sinee . beenTecognised by Con gress in the establishment of a naval depot at Mem phis, with the wise Forecast to bring into harmonious action with the permanent fortifications for the defence of the gulf coast, the maritime resources of the great weast and southwest. It cannot any iongle doubted that we can, at will, by the union of the engineer's work with this new succor from the Mississippi, be come the strongest nay A power on the Gulf of Mexi co, which is, emphatically, "OUR OWN sea." This being conceedcd, a strong fortification, placed well in advance, so as to overlook, not only the vessels_ navi gating the gulf, but every one doubling Cape San Antonio, would be the most powerful auxiliary to the steamforce which we would have afloat in the gulf.— With the small appropriation of $30,000 for commen cing this work, but -little could have been done to wards its actual construction. A million of dollars would be a moderate expenditure -for such fortifica tions as we rhombi have on this Reef. Thwitnpolawit positions on the shores of the golf haringteien secured, or needy no, there no longer exists any cause which should lead to a furthervlelay in the commencement of a work of a class fully eouimensorate with the wishes o f abase (bat little, iudeed, short of the whole people of the United States, ) who are interested in the com merce of the Gulf of Mesita. Depots of coal for armed steamers employed in the Gitlf of Mexico, areveceunneuried; asis the fortifica tion of Dauphin Island. The Seoreua7 recommend/ the organization of a company of saispenand miners, and theestablishmens of a national foundry fee 'die manufacture of model guns, for testing materials,&c. He mentions that she revolutionary pensions don in September lig Were un paid for the want of appropriation--states that sires for Marine Hospitals have been selected in Pennsylva nia, Ohio and Kentucky—s/4)00e being required for the erection of the buildings at each place.

Swiss madam public lands, sail thinks that sect an .& `~~~-'~?3*`'y-:rat t'' ._._-•_.c;-.:...''~~eS.n.'~_`-~^r9syd:: arrangement would be highly advaistageous. The hu m:viewed* of the western rivers sad hat bore have been vigorously prosecuted during the present year, by which the perils of navigation have beeri ready dr mioished. The difficulty of removing the Red River Raft,is noticed, and he recommends the placing in the hands Sr the proper bureau reasonable suits to he annually expended on that Object. The transfer of the light-house system to the bureau of topographical engineers is recommended. He notices the explore tionuf our tort itory west of the Rocky Mountains, by Lieut Fremont; hopes to be able to lay the report of that officer before Congress daring the presentsession; and declares himself favora.de to the occupation of that territory. We !stake the following potations from the reporn The immediate valleys of the head streams of the Arkansas, the Platte, and the Yellow Stone rivers, have much rich and valuable land. The 'Platte, or Nehreeke. being the central stream leading into, or from the great South Pass, would very properly for wish a name to the territory, which I propose suggest ing to be erected into a territorial government in cos nection with, and preliminary to, the P.:tension initial( direction of our military posts. I would confine the Nebraska Territory to oar undisputed posseasions on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Its boundary line wouldcontmence at the mouth of the Kansas. and cuss up the Missouri rNer to the north of the Running-water river, and would pursue that stream to the head of its northern branch, and thence due west to the Wind river chain. From this point, turning southward, the line weeldeentinue along the Wing-river range, and the mein than of the Rocky Mountains, to the head of the Arkansas; and following that stream to the mouth • the Pawnee Fork, would pass by the heads of Neo sho and ()sage rivers, again to the mouth of the Kan sas. The eastern section of the region embraced by these boundaries from the Missouri river westward for two hundred and filly miles, is of greet agricultural beauty and facilities, thickly timbered on the numerous tribu taries of the Kansas.• Osage and !leash's rivers, end in fertility equal to the best land in Mi"souri. From the limit of this fertile portion, westwat d fora apace of four hundred miles, the country is entirely -covered with rich grossess which improve is quantity and (relit) up to the snow of the mountains. The limits of this territory include the extreme head of navigation of the Arkansas, all the good Noes of communication with California, the road from oar fomtier to the Mexican boundary and Santa Fe, and ale.► an excellent and more direct pass to Oregon, dis smeared by recent exploration, about one hundred and fifty miles sonthward of the great Soutb Pass. Although the number of inhabitants enraged in agricultural and other pursuits within those limits do not afford an amount of population at all adequate, at present, to the formation of a complete terriptrialgov ernment,ani yet smell aninchoate or prelimittarycrgani gallon might be now adopted as would be necessary to extend the control and authority of the general gov erement, and to throw its protection around out emi grants to Oregon in their passage through this country. A territorial organization of the and a midi lusty force placed on the very summit whence flow all the great streams of the North American continents ei ther into the Golf of Mexico, or the Pacific Ocean, would no longer leave our title to the Oregon Territo ry a barren or untenable claim. Its possession and oc cupancy would thenceforth not depend upon the uaral aupetiority on the Pacific Ocean. Troops and supplies from the projected Nebraska Territory would be able to contend fur its possession with any force coming from the sea. Natural obstruc tions in the navigation of the Columbia river would en able settlements gradually to approach the coast, in defiance (if it should come to that) of any navy in the world. The time. indeed, might not be distant. when theme very settlements would supply ell'the elements which might he Deeded, of naval strength, to give us our natural and proper position on the Pacific Ocean. In Carrying out these views, I would recommend an appropriation of $lOO,OOO for erecting the military posts from the Missouri river to tba Rocky Moun tains. Eighty-nine thousand two hundred and eighty Indi ans have been transferred to the territory west of the rtlissksipi; making the whole Indian population west of the river, and contiguous to the 17 States 254, 092; independent of the numerous wandering tribes, whose numbers cannot beascertaiengi. 31,173,629 will be requiiM by . the lodise lusivalbrldint!erob jects. The Secretary coffiders the improvement in some of the tribes so rapid and estensive, that besot. rests the propriety of i ncorpomting them 1 1, irh ourselves and mumbling to them the blessiggs of our institationE and this idea he enforces at soon lenetb. He refers to the disagreements between Op different bands of the Cherokee indium, and has appointed three agents to ingot.* into the causes of discontent, &c —and he concludes by recommending the erection of addition al buildings, for the safety of the, records of the de partment., and themore convenient despatch of busi ness.
