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.

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.

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

the erection of the buildings at each place. He deems

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

EXCIIASOM HOTEL, Dee. 9, L 844
Messrs Editors: Having been for some time past
very much afflicted with a severe cold and almost con
stant cough, and having tried various remedies, such
as cough candies, syrups, &c., and all to no effect. I
was induced by my esteemed and worthy friend W.
W. Wallace, of this city, to snake trial of It. E Sel
lers cough syrup; I did so, and to my great surprise I
received almost instant relief. It was with the great
est difficulty that I could lecture before my respected
classes, but on taking a spoonful albs syrup, just be
fore entering my lecture rootn,l could speak tett per
fect ease during the evening. 1 week! particularly
recommend it to clergymen, lawyers and other public
speakers. I have used two bottles only, within the
last six or eight days, Ind am now perfectly cured.
I feel it to be my ditty as a Phitenthrephist to make
this public acknowledgement of the efficacy of the
article, for I consider it to be the best now before the
public. The taste is as pleasant as honey. Before
leaving this city I intend purchasinF a dozen bottles
for my own use, if afflicted again, or forgtbers who may
need it. The article may be found at Dr. Sellers Drug
Store. •
