PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER. 27.
FOR MAYOR,
HENRY 8. MAIRAW.
CAteDIDATitS 'sit SH6 MaYonALTZ.—Judging
'from the course of Ike Whig papers, it is probable
that if the whigs do not formally ahundon Mr How
stra before the election, they will do Ito quietly at the
polls, and east theievotes for the Native nominee.—
The Age has effectually silenced the Gazette, and pla
ced Mr H. in a position from which neither of the fed
.erst orginilhavemacle the slightest effort ta relieve him.
Men) , suppose that the editor of the Gazette has
tome private objection to MI Howard which u sense
of duty to the fifteen %bigs alone prevents hint from
making public. But although they will not candidly
-state their private objections to Mr H., yet they are
circulated by persons who are, no doubt; - known to the
-editor of the Miscue, and whose "conscientious" (!)
scruples ere, doubtless, approved by him.
'But whether the whig editors have any hand in cir-
Culnatig reports against Mr Howard or not, it is plain
to every one that they do not desire his election, hut,
en the contrary, they would much prefer to give their
ski to the Nativtecandidete. At this we are not sur
,ptised, forin politics Mr Rinehart is as gord a whig
as Mr Howard, and has the advantage of being a new
man, who has not excited the hatred or envy of oth
ers byboldand unscrupulous efforts to carry out whig
principles. We do not say,that Mr R. Lain any 'expect
better than Mr 1.1.; if there is any difference, we believe
him to be worse than the whig nominee, for he has
boldly adoptetithe old federal principles of ploecrip
',lino, that the other boggled at. But he is not as well
*Down to the people as Heeled, and is not (benz
ines to sumeobjections that will deter hundreds of
men from supporting 11.
. . A knowledge of these facts will induce a large por
thin of the Whigs to vote fur the "Native" candidate,
-se they believe that he is the only men with whom they
have any hope of defeating the democratic nominee.
If the democrats hope to sueNeetthey must be vig
ilant mid watch the natives. Let the whig candidate
pass; there is no danger to be apprehended from that
-quarter; if a change dues not take place, his lukewarm
, frieniinwill be in the native ranks before the election.
if wecan place any reliance in the "sights of the times:"
and Wits against that faCtion that we must fight.
It is well known that both the Whig organs are
strongly imbued with the worst principles of the native
party. The fortig4er who edits the American en
deavored to become its organ; the Gazette, a short
time since, warmly commended its t flints, and was on
ly deterred from declaring itself unconditionally fur the
party, by an edict of the fifteen whigs. If they were
permitted to exercise the feelinzs of their hearts, they
would repudiate Howori and endeavor to rally their
friends on Rinehart. But Otto Flogruss and other
whip who base a personal interest in opposing the na
tives, will notpermit it, and all that White end Biddle
can do for their favotite is to stand neutral between
,hires and the wbig candidate. If they say nothing in
lids favor they do not oppose him, and they let the na
tive organ assail the whip candidate with impunity.
We must watch di. natives, and be careful not to
, -
let them slip into pcwer by supposing that their
attemgth is - too insignificant to require - any serious op
position. They have more of the elements of strength
io the present contest, than the ahig faction, and if
ase wish to carry our candidates, we must keepai
iaat
eye upon the natives, and leave it to Deacon
White and Biddle to break down the whig coodidate.
Tug TAlol7.—The Gazette mates a most feeble
-and ineffectual allusion to the late attack on. the Tariff,
by Mr Paasix, the Whig leader from New York.—
:The etlitorbspes, by making a charge of misrepresen-
Wicao against us, to keep the perfidious conduct of his
fifow•partisans from the public eye. The invention is
miserably weak, and the editor's mode of au...mining the
'charge is still more weak and ridieulons—in fact, all
that be says by way of sustaining his charge goes to
.corroborate the truth of our assertions. -
He admits, (what is a matter of history,) that Mr
Puts tx brought in a bill to repeal the tintype rail-road
iron—and that the project was attacked by Messrs Ix
llaßaoLf, FoSTER, and other democratic members,
and E J MoRBIS, a whig. This is just what we sta
ted. We have iniisted and still insist that the absence
of all denunciation of Mr. PHC:Ctx's project from the
whig_preoses, is proof that they do not disapprove it.
!W have also shown that Mr E I Moan's, the only
-7tottig who etas active in opposing Mr P's project, does
.stet enjoy ate coafideuce of his party—fur they base
ly betrayed and defeated him at the late election.—lt
will not do for the Gazette to attempt to blink this im
portant question in any such manner. The whig par
ty has tacitly approved Mr Pnztrix's project, and the
true friends of the tariff policy will pass upon the ques
tion without caring whether Mr Pars ix is a whig or
loot. The issue seems to be whether the interests and
the wants of Rail Road Corporations are to be prefer
red to the Tariff policy, and the iron interest in partic
ular. Pennsylvanians will be very I itely to decide this
.question against Mr Plitftlx, tbo' backed by the
wrhigsand the Corporators.
"'IT 'stir Shank is elected, we mny feel that much is
lost, and that the Bible is in imminent danger of be
ing excluded, end may be excluded from the Com
mon School*. But. still we trill rally and flea for
ear Igillee."
Here is a solemn announcement, made by the Gaz
ette about two months ago. Who woukl have thought
:that the zeal of a party which took such high ground
-as this, could cool so rapidly? The imminent "dan
ger" of which the Gazette was in such mortal (heed,
if the statements of that paper are worthy of belief,
-is upon us.' "Shenk is elected"—if the Gazette and
its friends were sincere is their declarations during
*he campaign, why do they not as they promised, "still
rxWly and.light for their Bibles?" Why did not the
late wkig Convention, which nominated a candidate
fee hlayet,%facget. aids important matter? Why did
Arty not renew their warnings, and their pledges to
stand by the Sacred Volume, of which, last fall, they
,chimed to be the especial and exclusive defenders?—
These question are perplexing, and we fear that thuse
who discuss them, will come to the conclusion that
she party are a very inconstant and an insincere party.

119 P Those alien., say. the Boston Post, were dread
ful fellows during the revolutionary war. Pt single
instance, as a sample of the situation of wary of the
officers; when the army was disbanded in '8 I, as rela
ted of the conduct of Baron Steuben, may not be 'amiss.
When the main body of the army was disbanded at
Newburg, and the veteran soldiers were bidding a
parting farewell to each other, Lieut. Cu!. Cochran,
an aged soldier of the New Hampshire hue, vernal ked
with tears in his eyes, as he shook hands with the
Baron—
'For myself I could stand it, but my wife and
daughter nre in the garret of that wretched tavern,
and I have no means of removing them."
"Come, come," avid the Baton, "don't give way
thus. I will pay my respects to Mrs. Cochran and her
daughters,"
When the good old soldier left them their cnunte
nancea were warm with gt atitude,"for he left them all
he had.
In ate of the Rhode Island regiments were several
companies of black troops, who had s erved through
out the whole war, and their bravery and disziptine
was unsurpassed. The Baron observed one of these
wounded negroes on the wharf at Newburg, apparent
ly in great distress.
"W hat's the matter, brother soldier?"
"Why. master Baron. 1 wont a dollar to go home
with, now the congress has no further use for me."
The Baron was absent a few moment.. and returned
wrth a silver dollar which be had burrowed. "There,
it is all I could get—rake it."
The negro received it with joy, hailed a sloop which
was passing down the river to New Yor?r, and as he
reached the deck. took off his hat and said—"Gud bless
master Baron."

POSTAGE—'3Y SHEET OK BY WETGHTI
Let k no longer be charged by sheet.:
1. Because it is not fa* that a small, light note
should pay as much postage as a great thick sheet of
foolscap.
2. Because it tempts many a letter-sender to eon

and it also tempts many a post-office clerk to push his
inquisitorial duties too far.
But let it he charged by weight.
1. Because it is a simple method. Every body
could understand that a letter half a dollar's weight
should pay one postage; a dollar's weight, two postages,
Ste. Post office accounts would also be thus simplifi

THE RIOTS IN VOTTSVILLE
Pottsville. 22d Dec.. 1844.
Sii:—fly your paper of yesterday, I sec there is
great deal of talk about the riot. most of which, ea
yell pertly remark, is silly exaggeration. There seems
to be a disposition in some pencns to make capital
out of it, fur political tirade. lint quiet should not be
unjustly imputed, and none but the malicious could
convert the present turn out , to the base purpose of
party vituperation. lo answer to the vari:rts reporta,
I will merely state the facts. As you have been infor
med, inducements were held cut by advertisements
promising high wages to men to come in the Schuylkill
Valley Ikailroad, which had the effect of accumulating
a large body of men en that work. Many of them re
signed desirable employment at a distance to become
here the victims of a shadow. The effort to get them
here was prompted by a double motivel—the first in
consequence of the contractors' time for doing the
work being limited tattoo first of January; the second
trona some of them having taken the work lower than
it could be honestly done for. They, therefore; in con
sideration of these mattenr, were obliged to make a
desperate posh. Aalarmature deliberation and consid
enuion, sanctioned by the gertermis indulgence of the
engineer to extend the time of doing the work, the
more effectually to reduce the men to compliance, they
at once reduced the wages ten cents per day. The
men offered to compound, but they were treated as
slaves, not equals. They turned out, and the Irish
loving portion of our peopk were in awful agony at
the humors of the re4sellion.
Them may have been a few turbulent spirits, as a
numg all crowds, disposed to violet* the law, but I
have the assurance of several peace officers, who were
there, thatas a body they were reasonable and not as..
posed to commit any breach oft he peace, a remarkable
'circumstance. considerieg their treatment. The Sher
iff was sent ,f.w; bet decided to go and make the news
serY arrests with a civil posse. of which he had an as
surance there would be no difficulty. From this he
was changed by the order of a military spirit, whose
mind swims in seas of conquest, and was anxious to go
%here glory washed him. He told the qherifi that
the Compauies would be ready immediately. and it
wo: better to go there and make a display: the engineer
having promised to take op therms. The matter was
decided and the men marched up the hill and down
again. They had reluctantly, because untiecessarily,
to travel ten mi'es on a cold night to the scene of dl4.
turbnnce, and when they got them, they found the eh.
menu' eif the awful mob dissolved in balmy sleep in their
banes. They were roused .from their repose, er eve
ned in a tavern and *cob as were supposed to be lead.
era detained prisoners.
They were marched to Pottsville next day, arraign
ed lwfore a 'Sq•uire, where it is hinted justice, or rath
er law, was meted out to them aithnoonaperinghand,
ns it required a little stretch to commit them from the
testimony. Thus thirteen were sent toenjov the lux
uries of a jail until Court—three months. 'the mili
tary deserve praise for their prompt movement on be
ing called. Many of them sympathized touch with
the men, and pronounced it ridiculous to call them out
on such a mission. It is true, they may haven Col.
Pluck among them, whose presence would burlesque
anything, but as a body, they are creditable; but n'
un
i to.
This then, is the whole affair. I conclude by telling
the instigators of it that they will never be abletu per
secute men here in silence. And if they don't redeem
the past, like Sir John Reynolds picture of the noble
man, they will have tails appended to them for public
exhibition. VINDEX.
The Arra, betareeen Meanders Grousset soul
Emeric.—ln our yesterdaj'ssecond edition, we gave
n brief account of the affray which occurred yesterday
in Broadway, :ietween the above named parries.
On looking over the various amounts of the trans•
action its the morning papers, we find some discrepan
cies in their statements. The American Repub
lican, however, states some circumstances not men
tioned by the other papers, and we accordingly quote
ftorn that journal.
, "About tote o'clock yesterday, an altercation arose
in Broadway, in front of Trinity church, between two
French gentlemen, viz: Eugene Grommet. wine mer
chants, No 16 Brood -street, and Joseph Emetic, im
porter, ‘Villiam-street. Mr Grousset spat in the face
of Mr Emeric, who then drew from a side pocket a
six barrel pistol, and shot at Mr Grousset. The fire
missed, Grousset attempted to grasp the weapon, but
on seizing Emeric, that individual made a seNand fire,
and Grousset fell upon his face, Emeric made an at
tsmpt to ga down Wall -street, but was arrested by Mr
Dixon, who - witnessed the whole affair.
Grousset was taken into Rushton & Aspinwall's
drugstore, where physicians were called. The wound
was simply a flesh wound, and two 'hours after it was
dressed, Mr G was taken to his lodgings in Barclay
street; and is,it is supposed, doingwtA.
Dixon induced offieser Welsh maid him in putting
Emetic into a . conch, as the crowd, nearing, was
exasperated, and likely lo take the affair in therr OV/EI
hands.
The affair grew out of a difficulty respecting a la
dy, which difficulty origioeted in Paris.--where
Grousset challenged Enteric, (wo understand,) but
Emeric was unanable to fight, being itl. ' Since then,
Grousset has repeatedly threatened to chastise Erne
ric, and the %writ] consequence of these threats ar
med himself n ith pistols.
A variety of rumors are afloat as to the cause of the
trouble, end we believe we have stated the true one.
It is supposed that Grousset's life was saved by a silk
undershirt. The ball was found in his clothing.
A great excitement has been created by this occur
rence, among the French and Spanish population here.

Horrid Murder is Grafloa.—A party of 30 of
the "Anti-Renters," dres.‘ed 'lndian disguise, yester
day assaulted Mr Elijah Smith, of the town of Graf
ton,in this county, not far from the See place, took
him from his wagon, and wantonly ehot him! We
have karma ne partienlats beyond these, except that
Smith and the "Indians' have had difficulties fur
some time past. Coroner Betts proceeded to the
place of murrder lest evening.
The dreadful murder which we have just 'been call
ed to record, and the other desperate acts of these mis
guided people. will bring their deeds of violence to a
just and speedy termination. We hoped almost a
lmost against hope, for an amicable settlement of
these manor troubles, by those molt deeply interested
by either pot ticipating in, or winking at these outra.
rages, have forfeited much pf tie sympathy that they
would otherwise have enjoyed. They needed mercy
and they could have obtained it. They have deman
ded justice and they will probably get it—not, we fear;
without retribution.
Commercial Liferratere.—Freeman Hunt, the pro
jector and present editor of that marling periodical,
the Merchant's Magazine, has issued proposals for
publishing a series of volumes ender the general title
of "lluni's Library of Commerce?' The first vol
ume is on the eve of publication,and willfion a hand
some duo &vim* volume of about CM pages. There
can be line doubt that such a collectivn as is contem
plated in the "Library of Commence," most trove
highly acceptable to the merchant,. political economist
and statesman, from the intrinsic character of the in
formatiodit will possess; including , of course, in its
progross, whatever may tend to illustrate the history,
theory, and practice of Commerce. Besides original
and elaborately written works, by some of the most
eminent v.,' hers of our own country, it will, we under
stand, embrace the best selected productions, bear
ing upon the design of the work, front the pens of a
ble writers abroad, some of which are to be transla
ted especially for the series. The first volume is to
contain three distinct works of a commercial charac
ter, viz: I. Sketch of the Commercial Intercourse of
the world with China: V.. Illistitry of the British Cora
