TWOS. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23 Mat HOWARD.—At length the Gazette 'has ven tured to say a word in favor of the candidate Of its petty. The Gazette is as mild as milk-and-water to wards the naives, and says it is "an untneural state of affairs to see a higs opposing whigs." Now, from this we infer two important fact.: first that the "Na tive" trap so artfully set by the Gazette did not catch many democrats; and second, that the editor of the Gazette has altered his mind about the whigs since he stood in open hostility to, and denounced as ene enies to the true interests of the country, and to sound principles, all who went in f,r the whig ticket, in preference to the Antimasonic, which his paper -sup- Furled. .-The GAZEIrE replies to the Aux's "insinuation," that there is "something wrong" in Mr Howard's "re ligious views," by assenting that he isie"believei" & c . If this be true, why, in the name of all that is fidica loos, did his friends threaten to prosecute any body •that said any thing about his "religions opinions." Surely no man would be so reckless as to bring a false charge against a man whose orthodoxy could he at tested and endorsed by 'the Gazette. We are sorry to learn, however, that (although religion may not suffer thereby,) it is feared the statement of the Gazette will greatly increase the number of "unbelievers" among .the readers of that paper. The Gazette says that Mr. Howatin was not the 461 concoctor" of the shameful handbill attacking Mayor HAT. The Gazette admits that Mr. H. saw the hand bill before it was published—that he "disapproved of its spirit and took his pencil and erased or altered SOURS of the objectionable parts." So then, Mr. H. was only the editor of the handbill. The Gazette leaves us to conclude that Mr. HOWARD'S correctictns were adopted, and that the paper, pruned and perfect ed by Mr. HoW•RD'S "pencil," was given to the pub lic. We must infer that the very injurious charges a gainet Mayor HAY—of his connivance at violations of the laws—of his sympathy with "loafers'—of his pet tingthe "Draymen" and "Hucksters"—were not "oh- Jjectionable" to Mr. HOWARD, or else Ms purifying pencil would have been drawn:across the obnoxious 'charges. If only the milder portions of the attack were retained, can any one form an' idea of the gross ness of the original paper, before Mr. Rea-sae drew his pencil over the "objectionable parts?" The Gazette says that Mr HOward would not p r e vent anyone from "asking his advice" about the band. bill. Bnt why was Mr H. chosen as the adviser of thosewho were getting up an anonymous paper, grove "iy abusing Mayor Hay. unless he approved of the pro menading. And why, if he did not approve of this mean, underhanded war of attacking ■ candidate, and - defarninganhonest class of citizens, why, we say, did lee not expose the whole transaction, and via‘h his 'heads of it? These ate questions that it will puzzle the Gazette to answer. There is one charge Tad. in the Age against Mr Hew Ann, which the Gazette has not pretended to deny via: Thathecirculateddocuments hostile to Nativism and siemouncing it as a "locnfoco" expedient. W shall not find fault with him for opposing the Natives, but we cannot permit the false and scandalous charge that the movement sprung from the Democratic party so pass with. iut condemnation. The authors and cir- -calaturs of any pamphlet enforcing this view. must ' , have known they were uttering a false imputation, and a gross slander on the Democratic party • "Locofcroism plays such high pranks occasional] ) that it is really a wonder the eyes of so many are blind to its numerous rascalitics. The only way of accounting fur it is in the fact that the leaders deceive • the rankand file, by calling the tretks brought home to 'them "Whig lies." Many a man who makes preten 'Sion, to morality, and even piety, has thus rendered Zfaces, which be knew to be true, of no effect on the , Minds of the easily gulled and poor humbugged and simple souls who take every tiling they say as gospel." - This is intended for a scorching paragraph, no doubt. ' It might be painful to democrats to think they were as bad as the Gazette alleges, if they did not know people prominent in the whig ranks. who have endeavored to destroy the eff ct of "truths" attested by themselves, and would have been glad to hear democrats ' l call some of their statements "whig lies." The editor of the Gazette, for instance, said CLAY was a "free trade man," a "duelist," a "de theachee," "immoral and profane," and would have 'given almost any thing to have had democrats say these sentiments were "whig lies." Then?gain, we have sees the same editor, "who makes preansions to mo rality and piety," seeking to render the above named "facts," which he bad often declared to be true, "of ma effect on the minds of the easily gulled and poor humbugged and simple souls" who so aLeend in the whig party. We are sorry for his sake, though glad for the sake of truth that he did not succeed in mak ing them take "every thing we said as gospel." For if any of them believe CLAT innocent of those char gee, they must think the Gazette slandered Mr CLA T —end those who believe him guilty cannot be gulled by the Gazeue's efforts to render the "truths" it bad for merly altered "of no effixt on their minds." "OMNIBUS LIN/S.—Among the indications of prosperi ty which meets oureye on every side, the establishing of 'Lines of Omnibuses to the villages which surround our •city, is worthy of mention.

Four Bishops only are absent, viz: Bishops Chem of New Hampshire; Hawks, of Missouri; Cobb, of Ala bhma; and one other. It was from the first very properly determined, con sidering the nature of the charges, and chat the princi pal witnesses would be females, that the proceedings should be with closed doors, to the exclusion of even counsel. But Bishop Oudetdonk having expressed a desire for the aisistance of counsel, it was acceded to, and the counsel was assigned to aid the prose cution. D B Ogden, Esq., acts as counsel for the Bishop, with whom was associateei yesterday, as we learn, D Graham, Esq. Mr J C Spencer was applied to, it is understood, but illness prevents his compliance. On the part of the prosecution, H Ketchum. Esq. acts as counsel, assisted by Gerardus Clarke, E. 9. As yet, two ladies only, as we hear, have been examined. It is hoped the proceedings may be completed this week.—American.

Mr Bancroft E.reulpotod.—The New Bedford Bulled 2 some time since brought a serious charge of plagiarism against George Bancroft. The Boston Courier of Saturday contains a complete refutation of the charge. It seems that 90 pages of the fourth vo lume of his History of the Oohed States had been put in type, and 40 bad been stereotyped, when Mr Ban croft thought proper to make some new arrangement. These 40 pages stereotyped have sot been "melted down"—but are still preserved, enders in possession of the founders. And it also appears, from the origi nal proof sbeets of the 40 pages, "that there is not the slightest evidence of any attempt to pass oft as his own, a sentence or a phrase, or even a word that be longs to another."

No wonder that these-latter, after seeing themselves thus taken to the embraces of a great national party, claiming to, be the party of "law and order"—after seeing theirt own formal, avowed, open An/i-Rest candidates taken up and adopted upon the ‘Vbig ticket—should since that day have gone on to raise a mob to assassinate an obtauxioas landlord, firing at him in his carriage,' and beleaguering the hawse in wlrich4os might refuge. No wonder, we say, at all this. What else was to be expected? If this had taken place vice versa— only imagine if it had!—how would not the welkin have re-echoed to the eloquent wrath of the whole world of Whig Newspapeniom! This passing reflection is simply suggested by the following further specimen of the same crop from the same seed,which we find in yesterday's Alb. Argus: "Henson, Dec. 14. 1814. "Dear Sir—l presume you hale heard of the anti , rent rebellion in the county of Columbia and its M- I peas. The idea has prevailed among many, if not all of our popelation, that the anti-rent movements in Al bony and Rensselaer, were batted on the alleged in justice of quarter sales and a large collections aback rents, and that a little leniency on the part of land ! lot ris might quell and remove the whole opposition.— But the facts which have taken place in this county, present the question in another and certainly nut less alarming and objectionable aspect. "The guardian of some infant children, last spring, rented several farms for one year, and the tenants en tered into written contracts to pay the rent semi-annu ally. The rents were light, about one dollar per acre. 011 the first of October the first rent became due, and about that time several emmissaries came from ens selaer to preach rebellion among the people of this county. This alarmed no one, as it was supposed that the condition of things here was too satisfactory on all hands to be disturbed. There was no question of title, no back rents, and no (ratter sales to quart el about. About thirty days passed on, and no rents be ing paid, distress warrants were issued by the guar dian and put in the hands of the sheriff. The shetiff made the distress without any opposition, and subse quently the appraisal, but he was then ififoi rued that the rents would not be paid, and that the sale would be prevented. 7he sheriff probably did not believe these ducats. as he made no provision to repel any opposition, l.ut went with a single attendant to make the sale "Ha was met by a body of Indians, before he rea.7ll - .4 the place, escorted to the place of sale, and there under a threat of personal violence, gave up all his I papers, arid they were burned in his presence. The Sheriff reports that there were on the ground over 200 men in Indian dress, and 1500 citizen spectators, cal ' led there by the stovellyof ths occasions. When the papers g were burned the whole assoalaa e gavethree , I cheers, and the sheriff left the ground w i thout any ad journment of sale, and there ends the distress. "The Indians, and many without any disguise, are holding meetings in •liditections. A genet al meeting is called for nest week at Claveraek, and rumor sa vs that week after one is to be held at ['tuition. Every one is now alarmed. The principle involved in thr resistance offered on a simple contract for a year, tells too plainly, I fear, what the landlords in our cities, and our holders oi notes, bonds, and all other evidences of debt, have to expect if the movement is not met with the promptitude the occasion demands." immigration.—The following is an abstract from the official report of the Department, of the number of passengers that have arrived in the United States from fereign countries, during the year ending.

My first impulse was t o turn his shot and proceed on, but seeing a boat approach me from the Admiral, and knowing that our nation had acknowledged the blockade, I thought it proper to heave to and receive the boat. The officer, on coming on board, stated that he was directed to apolo gize fro the schooner's firing, as they were nut aware of the character of the vessel, and supposed her to he a merchantman. Aly brother officer on the station seemed to think that I ought to have returned the shot and continued on my course, and I now very much re gret that I did not do so. Thug To RICSICI2I.-A Justice of the Peace in North Carolina communicates to the Legislature his resii,na- Lion for the following good and substantial reasons: "About seven years since, some of my friends then in the Legislature—from motives probably known to them—(but I am sure not from a belief in my qualifica tion■ for the office, thought proper to nominate me to the office of Justice of the Peace. With little or no reflection upon the subject, the aprointment was ac cepted, and, to use a common term, I was 'duly quali. fled,' without the first qualification, except the physi cal ability to separate men who were disposed to fight. During the time I have been in office, I have had seven fights, a great number of quarrels—have been indicted twice—and I conceiva the greatest act of justice which I can do to the public and myself, is to resign my said office of Justice of the Peace." Native America , liset.--Everybody knows Lewis Gaylord Clerk, and knows what a real good fellow he is. But although be is a thorough Clay man, he has b :come so disgusted with the humbug of nativism that be has drupt it like a hot potatoe. Of all the good things that have come from him, be never wrote any. thing better than this is the last number of the Knicker bocker "The philosophical argument, cited elsewhere, by Ptnfessor Bush, touching the change which the human body undergoes every seven years, was turned to a good account the other day' by an Irishman, who wits endeavoring to prove to 'native American' that the pos tulate of his doctrine was altogether erroneous. said he, 'see now; it is a well known philosophical fact, that we have a new bo.ly everyseven yews. I've been here nine years. I came here nine years ago nine yea's ago an Irishman; but I've got a sew a body now, 'made on the soil,' man; and I'm as gond a native American as yourself t" The argument was • clincher. Apropos of this; our contemporary of the Commercial Advertiser daily journal, lamented the other day the fervid interest taken in the vexed questions of politics by the juveniles of the metropolis. A friend has just mentioned to us a striking alas : tration of this too prevalent spirit, ' What were you doing oat Ito late last night?' said an Irish mechanic to his son one morning during the late excitements.; 'I was a-walkin' in the whit procession,' replied the lad. 'Well, pa walk into you, if I catch you dote' such a thing again—now mind I tell you!' • Scarcelj a week afterwards he committed the same offence again. The father was as good as his word, and 'basted' the lad soundly. The son did not keep the feet to himself, but told it to his companions; adding, 'lt is bail enough to be whipptill any way; but to be whipped by a d—d foreigner is outrageous!' The boy had the advantage of his hither, in- having been born in this country." The Conatit' astion of oar Ste requiring public no tice to be given, for a period of at least six months pri or to the meeting of the Legislature, of any intended application far the charter of a new or renewal. of an old Banking institution, the public are thus fortunately "forewarned" of any contemplated demand fat special privileges from their representatives. And notwith standing all the fatal experience of our chisels., and all their heavy losses, resulting frost a son rapid ttmlti plication of Bunks, it appears, from the published ad vertisements, that application will be made at the next session fords* charter of the following new institu tions: "The Lackarana Bank" at Centreville, Lucerne county, with • capital of $50,000. "The York Satins, Institution" in the borough of Y..rk, with a capital of $100,040. "Formers Bank of Chola,* County" at Leek Haven, with a capital of $lOO,OOO, secured by Real Estate. "Farmers Bank of &hnylkill County" at Schuyl kill Haven. with a capital of $2OO 000. Farmees Mechanics-Bank of Dauphin Co." at flarrisburgh, with a capital of $lOO,OOll, with the privilege of increasing it to $200,000. "Harriabergh Sayings Institution" under the name of "The Dauphin Bank," at Harrisburgh, with capital of $200.000. "Tke City Bank" in the city of Philadelphia, with .4 capital of $500.000. "Tke Armstrong County Bank" at Kittanning, with a capital of $30,00i, with the privilege of increa sing it to $lOO,OOO. Notice has also been given, that re-charters will be asked for the following old Bunks: "The Girard Bank in the City of Philadelphia" with a capital of $1 0 500,090. "Bank of Nora America" in Philadelphia, with a capital of $l,OOO 000. "The Western Bank of Philadelphia" with a cap ital of $500.000. • "The Commercial Bank of Pestasehania" in Philadelphia, with a capital of $1,000.000. "The Carlisle Bank" in Carlisle, w,th a capital of $300,000. Nu State in the Union has probably suffered from the excesses of banking in an equal degree with the people of Pennsylvania. From the great Biddle 6 'llegulator" down to the minor money-machines of Messrs Bice and Levis, they have scattered suffering and desolation in their train. Thousands of honest enterprizing and industrious citizens have been plunged (,om a condition of affluence and splendor into one of comparative indigence and want. Nay, the evil has had a still wider and more melancholy scope. The substance of dependirat Widows has been swallowed op in the ramlstmm of over-banking, and the innocent Orphan has been made the unconscious victim of iu ditsolatinse sway. Not all the destructive elements of the physical world have been productive of half so much real suffering's has resultrai from this destruc tive iuvention of the crafty money-changers. to the face of such results, it behooves the repre sentatives of the people to be nary what new sources of evil they entail upon their constituents. All past experience has served to confirm the writ. that the restrictions imposed upon Banking Corporations can not be too •nany or too rigid. The mere fact that an institution has existe4l without them, furnishes no reason why it should be prolonged for another term of yews in the same incautious manner Its past exemption frum legislative guards and checks, might rather serve as an argument that it be invested with these extraordinary privileges no longer. Until an institution is compelled by the limitation of its char tered existence to "wind up," it seems almost beyond the possibility of human scrutiny to ascertain its true condition, and in many instances a p.olongation of its career has hut served to defer that collapse, which in the end seemed inevitable. fben it has generally come with accumulated terror. We would, however, in an especial manner, enjoin upon the Democratic portion of the Legislature, to accede to the renewal of no Bank charter, on which is not ettkrlfd the salutary principle of lanivinusy 'iLIABILITY. ..For a long aeries of years it seemed al ',most an utterimpossibilityto procure from a Peansyl-1 c'vania Legislature a recognition of this fundamentadl feature of the Democratic creed. It was reserved forj the last session to earn this enviable distinction. Ttien the principle was distinctly incorporated into several charters, and the sequel has in nearly every instance disappointed the croaking predictions of its opponents These charters were generally accepted, and the institutions acting under them are now in the "full tide of successful experiment." This proves the wisdom and policy of the step, and we hence tract the coining Legislature will nut renegade in the good work. N. Y.
