PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14.
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.

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.

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."

Mr. Adams presented sundry petitions. Among

Mr. Adams next presented a petition from New

Mr. Black objected to the reception of it.
Mt. Brown moved to lay the question of reception

the reception of the petition, it was received—yeas
107. nays. 81.
Mr. Adams then moved a referent:olo the Commit-

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

of deciding fur the session the fete of all petitions of
a similar character. Hence it appears that the abo

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.

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.—

TM 'the morning of September Zhh, an armed
-schooner carrying the oriental flag, was seen standing
from shore. The Argentine vessels . suspecting her to
be a pirate prepared tornceive her. The onspicion

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,
