IlarOur native friends are still endeavoring to find - acne person willing to incept a nomination for Mayor, sod they Oilier political martyrdom, an honor that -Mears Jaynes anti Johnson very prudently declined Wednesithey. The last person that we have heard -spoken of far the melancholy sacrifice, is Mr A A An, 'dame, a brother printer, who, if elected, would make most excellent (officer, but he is certair.ly too good lobe used as the tool of the squatters, who now as- AMMO to lead the dative American party of our city If any respectable portion of oar old chimes would instiertake to direct the movements of the party, sold nue their efforts to purge it of that spirit of religious persecution and proscription which hot-beaded reck less adventuters have connected with it, we have no Acrabt hut nativeism might .hrrelived for a considerable Use, and have been a formidable third party at our +approaching electioa. 'Bet the defm-med ofspring of old federalism has been, rendered more hideous than ita progenitor, by the infamous means to which it melted to give it strength and vigor, and in a short lbw it will be strangled by its own parent. Webelieve that Mr. Anderson would be as gocd a mendidate as they could bringinto the 'field, for, so far es our knowledge extends, he is not imbued with the illiberal feelings that have been adopted by many of the leaders of the party. But we do not believe that lir. A. will accept of the nomination; we think he has too much self-respect to be used as the tool of a few &squatters, who now lead the Native party or, if be is willing, we doubt much whether the said squatters would desire a person of his gentlemanly feelings to be the recipient of their favors. We infer that Mr. Anderson will prefer to stay with his whig friends, land let the Natives seek a candidate from among the band of adventurers that now lead the party. We have heard load complaints among them of the - treachery of Cordell, and they threaten to expel him Indignantly from the association! Considering that Ur. Cordell is a witig, we see nothing so very constr -labile in his condoct. John 11.. Adams, who, we be lieve, is good authority with all the factions of federal ism, says that "treachery is the vocation' of the whigs, and in deceiving - the natives, Mr. Cordell was only laboring in his vecatiOn as a member of the Wilig ..party. Mr. C.'s mental elfactories are sufficiently -acute to discover that nativism "stunk in the nostrils of thee people," and be thought that the sooner it was :asesolished tie better it would be for his legitimate party. To accomplish this, he adopted the mashie, "divide and conquer," and so cunningly did he play his part that in one short week he was able to create snob thieisions in the cativo camp that it will be im passable Ter them to restore bermony before the else pion. But it is folly to speculate on Native American ism in its present forlorn condition—a coalition to which it bas been brought by wing treachery—to might they meet, at 61 o'clock, *when they will again its through the form oT nominating a candidate. who will follow the example of 'his predecessors and de. ellse as-aeon as he hears of the impudent liberty they have tikes with his name. .:: Ii Q For want of something better to do, we picked +op the "NATIONAL CL•T MIIISTREL," published last vioriag, before the nomination of Polk, and were struck withabe overweening confidence and groveling adula tion which pervaded almost every line of the book. In fact, these are the only remarkable features in the songs of which the "Missrart" is made up. We vie surprised that a party which aims at the high ob ject of choosing rulers for this great country, and con -troilbor its policy.shoold net wit for nobler means to - .compass so ndble and important an end. To give an :Idtst of the high hopes of the whigs, and at the ratan Ntlaus show the extent of the political knowledge of their bards, we give a single verse of one of their songs, •whilth. after claiming New Turk, Pennsylvania, Nlce.,•goes on as follows: Couisiana, Illinois, And Alabama come sir, For Arkansas. Missouri too, And Florida make room. sir, They'll bt eak the tether, And march togetber. A band both bold and wary, For well they know, To beatthe foe. No chief will do but Harry. )low we have no objection to their claiming Louis *isnot, Illinois. Alabama, Arkansas, and Missouri, '(notte of which they gat, to be sure) but they should bate laid claim to Perils, because, in the first place, - she is democratic, and (what is quite as important,3 there is no such State in the Union! Then there is a song called "Dr. Possuw's Taesn,'' •in which is the following verse: "pat possum Pete, he tink he know'd diow to streak it along de National road, 'But Se little white coon up to dat. And be rim him up a supple jack." This is very pretty for a whig sung, and we sup pose has reference to 'that carriage" in a hick CLAY was to "streak it along the National Road," to Washington, when elected. Wog* is anmher specimen. They represent the stenotrY as "stuck in the mud," and then ask: Then who will help it out again? I'm sure 'tis Henry Clay! Unless we keep him in the West, And force him to say—"mtyl" Then let us work with alt our might, • To 'lest this shining star, And vote by day and sing by night, And fetch him from afar. • It la very andancholyto teflectthatllenry Clay wee *reed to say "star," he could not be "fetchedt om There are many other amusing and interesting sped loons in this book, which was intended fur the Parlor - Song Book of Whiggery, and therefore, is a refined ar tido, ss - the quotations will show; it was not, however, mach used during the campaign as it was prepared be fore the Convention, and its fun was poked at Van Da iren. . Mr. CLAY has again resolveato any is the shades d his "beloved Ashland."

Batas.—The times, says the Ohio Statesman, are getting better, as the banks are going out of existence. A few years ago, when we had thirty-seven banks in Ohio, distress every where prevailed—there was no certoiaty in business, no certainty in the prices of property. 'Mena man went to bed at night be could not sleep with any assurance that the little money he had on hand for the last month's wages would not be found worthless before he arose in the morning. Sha ving and bank swindling was then the order of the Ail. But new, with only eight banks in the State, and them with bra a limited business, safety. certainty and pros perity in business, has been restored. But at this time no subject seems to engross the attention of the whip majority in the Legislature but the mode in which they can devise another system of banking, by which our Cot mar diraculties will be brought back. Rom and Nosegays.—The following extract is the conclusion of an ''Order of the Day," issued by Gen Washington, in May, 1778,commanding a general parade, salute, and ft st de joie, on occasion of France having espoused the cause of the American Revolu tion: The lino is tithe formed with and interval of a foot between the files. Each man is to have a gill of rum. The Quarter Masters of the several Brigades will apply to the Adjutant General fur an order UR the Constnissary of Military Stores, fur the number of blank cartridgei that may be wanted. Each otEcer and soldier is to have a nosegay in his hat. A gill of rum and a nanny fur each man! What an odd rapprochement! Cnrctsnart.--The New York Mirror hea secured the services Of II correspondent in Porkupolis. The fit st of his letters appeared in the Mirror. of Decem ber 10. and we make the following extracts from it. They contain the best description of Cincinnati and its vicinity that we have seem "Cincinnati, for instance, has a philosophy and a history, in a great measure, peculiarly its own. Its growth—its motley population—its commercial activi ty—its mechanical and artistic skill; these suach an unusual degree of attraction to the metropolis of Ohio. Of the extended and fertile area, watered by the tribu tary streams of the Ohio. this place has become the commercial centre, and its future pnepesity will de pend On the question whether such a relative position can be retained. It would seem that the citizens re:- eta this fact es beyond contineency, hum their un hesitating investments. In addition to domestic com merce, the present impulse is derived chiefly from two causes--rnechaninwl and manufacturing enterprise, and Pork Trade. The latter is in the very teeth of sentiment and romance, yet, in the winter season, it is the one idea of this city of the Miami.. Every road hither is now shoked with these übese pity ims--every farm house reeks with the "smoke of their sacrifice, ' and the months of December and January witness a massacre of the innocents, which out-Herods Herod St Bartholomew's day was uothing to what is in pro grrsa around us. "A 'wed as to thelotale of Cincinnati. The Mills, whose graceful outline is familiar to every traveller of the Ohio, are usually at a sheet distance from the riv er, but at this point they recede, leaving a valley with SA upper atni lower beach, a mile in widtb,and exten ding two miles from east to west. The Kentucky shore, opposite, is a similar formation, and thus is pro moted a symmetrical and beautiful amphitheatre, through which the Ohio sweeps in a graceful curve; a 'site marked by Nature, apparently, fora town. The hill east of us. now called Mount Adams, spurs boldly to the elite?. edge, es if to cover the retreat of its fel lows, and about half way wp its ascent is the Reservoir kw the supply of the inhabitants with water, while the summit is crowned by the Observatory, which is, at present, the object of Cincinnati cumplocency, par ex cellence, although the bnildiqg has been more than a year in course of erection, and is still incomplete.— The view from this point is very fine. At the western base of this hill u the town, which is built closely, with a superfluous economy in the size of its streets,and without any reservations for paths or promenades; as if a spacious and vacant valley were not spread in al most every direction to reproach such scanty allot menu. Health, beauty, taste, seem, in this instance, to have been made subordinate to a passion fur ground rents—te a spirit <of marrow and inconsiderate thrift. Indeed, the pleasure grounds of Cincinnati, when the public sentiment shall call for them, will probably be designated upon the hills which skirt the city. Already Mount Auburn, one of these eminences fawned the North, is covered with pretty residences, and is a most delightful rut in write. But the valley is only esti mated by Alfred, and a glimpse of shrubbery, unless in an enclosure strictly private, seems.an eye-sore. It was but recently that the oldest grave-yard in the city was entenvated, wity very little ceremony to the hones of the pioneers interred 'therein, to give place to a four story block of stores. " Perhaps this fact may have suggested the necessi ty of a rural cemetery, as the project was soon afier entertained, and will be speedily consummated. An eligible piece of ground, of three hundred acres, has been selected, at a distance of three miles, and its ar rangement and embellishment are now in progress.— There is another spot, overlooking the valley and city, which should have been devoted to such a hallowed purpose, or else (a happier thought,) purchased and perpetuated as a place of recreation. The summit of one of the hills skirting the town on the north, is cov ered with a noble growth of wood, part of an adjacent forest, of asleast an hundred acres. /am sue prised that suck a sequestered and delightful retreat has es caped violatieu. Them it is, and in five minutes, af ter leaving the dust and din of crowded streets, you are in the midst of a forest sanctuary, cool and silent as the heart of a wilderness. The surface is diversi fied with glen and upland, and springs of water gush forth, and ripple through the hollows. "On the first of May, and other holidays ' the wood is alive with joyful groups, and vocal with the shouts and l.ugbtet of children. What a beneficent use of a fortune would it be, to dedicate such a "warped slip of wilderness." thus left, by • lucky accident, near • large town, to the perpetual recreation of its porde , don! As it is, it is just the spot which would be an appropriate back-ground for the solitary figure of an Indian, surveying, in sorrowful silence, the out-spread ing city at his feet—the triaraph aces race, and the doom of his own! "But I was speaking of cemetedee. One hes re cently been set apart at Frankfurt, Kentucky, and a committee of gentlemen were recently in this place, seeking vat ieties of all the shrubbery indigenous to the West for planting. A similar enterpise has been un dettiken at Dayton, 0." Faker Mitikew's dijteritisa.—A movement in now going on in Great Britain in behalf of Father Matthew, for not merely ilischarging his liabilities, but raising him a fund which will place him beyond pe cuttiary Deed hereafter.

A nuMber Of messages were received'from the Pre sident. One of them contains intelligence of an ami cable settlement of the indemnity due-from Ireneauela relative to the brig Morris. Among the memorials rommited-weweee from the Statistical Association of Boston; asking the cortege lion of errors in tistromapiletion of theistic ceases. The remlatiotrelf -Mr. Woodbury, instructing the Committee on Commerce to inquire into the expedien cy of.establiShing a warehousing system, was adopted. Mr Bayard introduced a bill to settle 'thelitlo of Pea Patch Island. Mr Huntingtorr reporvelil a itillvelative 'to the ap pointment of Assistant PartmasterTvetreral. It pro poses-to transfer the appointing power tolholenate. Mr Mc Mae introduced his joint resolutions for tbe annexation of Teams. They provide for the tatifica ' lion of the treaty of April last, and that when the su preme authorities of Texas shall have agreed to the same it shell bet the duty of the President of the U. S. to hum, his pt oelnrnation to that-effect. Mr McDeMe did not make a speech, ns was expect trti, and hirresolutions were. on motion of Mr Archer, reft•teed to the committee on Foreign relation'. Mr. 13enton rose, ao2 maidst thesmites of his broth er Senat ses, gave notice that to-morrow he will in troduce a bill for the annexation of Texas. This bill will, it is understood. embody the views advanced by him last session. The resolution or Mr fives. calling for any father correspondence respecting Mexico and leans, was adopted. . The. Senate then went into Executive Session on some nominations. and afterward adjoorned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. A bill was introduced and twice read authorising the President to expose for sale the reserved lead mines in Illinois. - Mr. Adams presented sundry petitions. Among them was one praying a correctionof the errors of the sixth census relative to the number of insane colored people in the several States, &c. On his motion the petition was referred to a select committee of nine. A motion to print was made and rejected by laying the mot ion on the table. Mr. Adams next presented a petition from New York City, praying the abolition of Slavery in the Dimrict of Columbia. Mr. Black objected to the reception of it. Mt. Brown moved to lay the question of reception on the table. A division being had, the vote was— yeas, 90, nays, 99. So the House refused to lay the question on the table. The question then being an the reception of the petition, it was received—yeas 107. nays. 81. Mr. Adams then moved a referent:olo the Commit- tee on the District; on which a motion was made to lay the petition on the table. It failed—yeas 88, nays 99. The petition was then referred. Some hours were occupied in calling the ayes and nays on the esti ow, motions. This course was adopted with a view of deciding fur the session the fete of all petitions of a similar character. Hence it appears that the abo lition petitions will be 'received and referred. The remainder of the day was devoted to the re ception of petitions. Among them were numerous petitions from Pennsylvania asking an amendment of the naturalization laws,so that foreigners atoll be re quired to wait 21 years previous to adoption as citizens. From what I can learn, this subject will have but little attention at the present session. Texas appears to be all-absorbing topic. A Talk.—The °arida Chief, a spirited little cam paign paper published at Utica, and which has done good serrice in the late canvass, has been discontinued, haying fulfilled the purpose of its publication, The last and closing number contains the following "talk" of the Chief to his tribe, by way of valedictory. For an Amateur Indian speech it is net. bad.—Bufalo Courier. SAGOLA! BROTHERS! ONEIDAS! Ugh! The Mingo coon is dead: his skin Fangs in the camp of the Oneidas. IThe coons talked large I and used great words ; but when the battle came their courage was gone, the vrarriount were too few. Tttey turned pale and poured water from their eyes like a woman of the long-knives. Brethren, do you hear T It is well. You have many scalp. of the Mingo coons at your belts. Your cornfields are safe, your women will no tense be fright ened by the war•ery of the enemy The coons ate bed, very bad. They came with smooth words on their tongue, but the words of their hearts were as brittle as an ash bow. The Oneidas are braves, they ate the okiliken of a greatchief.;• Litten the coon is dead. W ugh. Brethren, Oneidas, do you 'fear? The Mingo coon* have gone in their canoes up the watersof Salt River. They have asked for pence: their calumet is broken ; their reemperie is all gone to buy fire water and powder, but the fire water took away their legs, and their powder was damp. Their warriors had nothing to give. They asked for venison to sustain them on their voyege, but the breves of the Oneidas gave them a handful of Polk root. • This will taste bitter. but it will keep their papooses from crying with hanger. They could raise nothing in their Clay fields. The Mingeos are beaten.; they are scattered like the leaves in the hurricane. Only four snows ago they were a treat nation. Then every; leaf in the woods bore the foot print of a Mingo. Now their skins are upon the lodges of the Oneidas. The coon nation is destroyed. It is well. Brothers, Oneidas. listen "once more: Now the Mohawks, the Onondegues, the Cayugas, the Senecas ■nd the Oneidas ate friends. We have smoked the pipe of peace together. Our braves have been togeth er on the trail of the Mingoes. Out warriors were all together in the great fight. Their tomahawks all drank the blood of the coons. It was well. The eyes of cur young leaves are like the eagle's. If a coon dares return from his new home, let the war song enter the ear of every brave. If a leaf rustle or a twig break, lot year rifles point eet the thieving Mingo. It is all well. Our talk is ended. Brothers, Oneidas, farewell.— U g From Buenos Ayres.—Copt Norris of ' the bark Creole, arrived yesterday morning from Buenos Ayres Oct 14th, and Montevideo 19th, reports that there was a great excitement prevailing at Buenos Ayres, in consequence of the Called States brig of war Bain bridge having been fired Sato by the Buenos Ayres squndron, in entering the harbor at Montevideo. The frigate Congress being in the harbor at -the time, got immediately underweigh, and went of *he harbor and demanded redrew, which was immediate ly complied with--tbe commander of she Buenos Ayrean squadron hauling down his colors in three walnuts after the request. The squadron had captu red an American bark and schooner. On the 'llth October. at Montevideo, Commander W D Newman, of the United States brig Bainbridge, drowned him sett' in consequence of a reprimand he bad received from a superior officer. Fresh disturbances bad broken out in the Brasil , ian province of Pernambuc.o, and the imperial govern ment had been obliged to send thither a large rein foreement of troops. Gen Oribe had published a decree prohibiting the introduction of merchandise kern Montevideo into any other port of the Oriental Republic. The lateet accounts horn Rivera are given in the Buenos Ayres Packet of September 14. To wit, that after a vein attempt of three days to gain posses sion of Cerro largo, a small town on the frontier; be l and his forces took eight on the appreaoh of Gee. Urquiaa, sod had oat been heard at' sines. • 'Accounts from Dr Waif have been received, dated, Masked, month of Shahan, 23:—In a letter to Capt.

The Dr states, that he is broken down in eon: stitution; has been robbed of every thing be passeseed; and that if he does not pay the 6000 colas, (E25,- 000) to the Brother of the Mayib Abdoel Summit Khan, he will be imprisoned in Persia.

The par ticulars as stated its the paper ate hick of that follow leg— TM 'the morning of September Zhh, an armed -schooner carrying the oriental flag, was seen standing from shore.

The Ar gentine corvette "2 - sth of May" sent a boat offbeat on board and ascertained that she was the oriental ache. of war "Sancala," armed and cornotissimted against pi rates. The Commander went on board the "25th of May," delivered deapat.:hes from President Oribe, and returriedito his vessel, which immediately got under way to return tn'the'Bureo. The barque, which had I received the fishing boat—afterwards found to be the I Revell's, then hoisted the American flag and sent a boat on board the US frigate Congress. fhe remain der cif the transaction we copy from Pocket. The Congress then manned her beats and dispatch ed them in pursuit of the Sencnla,wbich they boarded. and hassling down the oriental flag hoisted in its steed the American ensign and pennant; the @Hemel com mander and crew being sem prisoners on board of'the Congress. About this time the Argentine, schooner of war, 9•Ft of July, which had been cruising during the morningmas returning to her anchorage; and when within half gun ant of the American brig of war Bainbridge, the Sancala, now transformed into an A merican vessel of war, and which had taken op a position near the latter, rdered thellth of July to send a beet on board, etkich command being complied with the officers aid crew were made prisoners, and Amer ican boats were /maned and dispatched to take ,pos seuion of the 9th of July, width was easily effected, as no hostile intention was suspected. Simultaneously with this extraordinary transaction, the U S frigate Congress got under weigh, and coming close along side the Argentine cnrvette 25th May, fired a gun, and ordered Captain Fitton to strike his flag, which of course, the latter refused to do, requestingat the same time to be informed of the cease of such an abrupt and singular proceeding. Capt Voorhees. however, declined giving an expla nation: but leaving the "25th of May," made sail to wards the Argentine brigantine of war, •-ftepublica no," which happened to he under weigh, and coming up with her, sent hosts on board to take possession, which was as easily accomplished as is the case of the "9th of July"—the officers in both instances being sent on board the f.igate, after having been obliged to surrender the keys of magazines and arm-chests.— Whilst this was going on, Capt Fitton sent a boat with an officer on board tie "Congrills," *gain beg ging to be acquainted with the cause of these astound ing acts of homility,bet the request was utterly disre garded, and the officer and crew of the beat made prisoners. . After the "Republican" had been secu red, the "Congress" returned alongside the "25th of May," when Copt Voorhees again summoned Captain Fitton to strike, which the latter peremptunly refused to do unless forcibly compelled: whereupon the "Con gress" fired a shot over the 'lsth of May," and Cap tain Fitton, regarding resistance es useless, from the immense disparity of force, filed another shot and haul ed down his colors. Upon this Captain Voorhees die patched his first lieutenant, with two boats, to take possessi3n of the "25th of May," which was done in the same manner as il3 the case of the two other Ar gentine vessels. . The. same paper states that Capt. Fitton went imme diately on board the "Congress." and that Ciipt._Vor bees then stated as a reason for his proceedings, that some of the musket shots fired by the "Sammie" while in pursuit of the fishing boat, had struck the American merchant barque "Ramalva." Capt. Fitton rcpt' that the "Sancala" was not one of the Argentine reseals under his command, but armed for protection of neutral vessels. Copt. Voorhees then inform Capt. Fitton and his officers that they were at liberty t, return to their vessel. and hoist their flags, which Capt. F. refused to do without reparution for the in sult or order from his Government. On returning to their vessels it was found that tl'e fishermen: prisoner* had been set at liberty, and six foreign seamen taken from one of the vessels. Capt. F. then made a writ ten protest egoist* the wh o le proceeding, to which Capt. Voorhees replied that he was ready "to respect the Argentine force and belligerent rights as long se they respected the American forces and neutral rights." Commodore Toll, the new Commander of the Ar gentine squadron, soon after arrived asd ordered the vessels to resume their colors, and re-establish t blockade. The Packet says that at the date of last advice' the "Sancala," with her commander and crew, was still detained by the "Congress" under pretence that no papers were found on board of hgr. How much truth this account may contain we have at pies-, ent no means of judging. P. S.—We have been favored with private inters.' by w hich it appears that one of the Argentine vessels o f war fired in the U. S. schooner Blinbridee, Com: mender Newman. which fire the latter did not return, 'andel the conviction that it was a mistake.
