TINOS. PHILLIPS & WK. H. SIIITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 _The Gazette winces under at our exposure . 1:1' the foul spots on the carcase of IVkiggery, and takes up a whole column in vindicating the party whose virtues and merits it was so long in discovering. The Gazette should not complain of our strictures on the whig party. We drew their portrait in the mildest pos sible manner, and spoke for less harshly of their be haviour than the editor of the Gazette used to do, when be was an Antimason and an Abolitionist. Why Jona Qat set Aossrs denounced them as a "base compound," whose only bond of union was "hatred to better men than themselves." The greet Embodiment hiinself, said that the representatives of the whigs in the Convention which nominated Harrison, were little betterthan a pack of knaves—or used towards them words to that elect. When even whig leaders de nounce their brethren after this fashion, surely the Ga zette should not object at our exposing their profligate doings. But the Gazette says the reason city the whigs re• 'f» sea to sanction the One Day Election Law at the last session, was that it "could not go into effect arse late an hour without a special meeting of the Legis latures of die several states to make the necessary changes:" If the whigs had been disposed to pass this bill when it. was fit st brought in, which, if we mistake not, was at a time when many of the State Legislatures were in session, there would have been occasion for "special" meetings of but very few of them. And if the whits opposed the One Day Elec tion Law, because it would involve a necessity for special sessions in some of the States, why did they not amend the law so that it might take effect after the last Presidential election, and so pass it? The reason isthat tbey hoped to reap advantage from the opera tion of the old system; and if CLAY bad been elec ted, they never would have passed the Bill. The Gazette denouritfes as "recreant whigs" the members of that party in Congress who voted to an - vex Texas. Hove a care, Mr Gazette—it will not do for you to calLmembers of your parry "recreants," who are simply and honestly endeavoring to please Mr Clay, who, "Co far from from being opposed to An nexation, would be glad to see it." Nor will it do for you to say that the wing proposition to annex Texas, which passed the House, is "unconstitutional and unlawful." The attempt of the Gazette to mystify the action of the Louisiana Legislature is miserably futile. It is fact, entirely incontrovertible, that the Louisiana Le glslature, a body in which there it a whig majority, passed, by a very large majority, Pro-Texas Resolu tions. Nor is the Gazette more successful in justifying the petty trickery of the whig Delegates cf Virginia, ' who, knowing that they represent but a minority of the people of the state, would have forced upon their constituents a Senator hostile to the known popular feeling—and who, finding it was possible that a Sena tor might be chosen who would truly represent the State, refused to go into an election. It is in vain that the Gazette seeks to vindicate the tortuous -sonnet& its party or conceal its manifiold deformities. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY.—WhiIe federalrwhiggery is bugging the political errors of former times, and pertinaciously refusing to take one step fin ward inany new direction--while it is still endeavoring to bolster up the odious and unjust system of chartered privile gei and paper-money monopoly, the Democrats are endeavoring to reform old abuses and tcksecuie the "greatest good of the greatest number." Our disputes ; maxim men, which sometimes assume an aspect that in ances the enemies of Democracy to think that we shall crumble to pieces, are always deprecated and viewed with pain by the honest Democrat. But every day proves that they cannot shake the integrity of the per m, nor turn it aside from the pursuit of the vital objects 'and principles it should, seek. Of this we have a 'proof in the late adoption of the principle of individu al liability of stockholders, and the instruction of the House to report a resolution declining that no charter will be granted without this effective saving clause. Some of the Banks which had been petition ing fur a renewal of charter, withdrew_their applica tions whenever they found that this principle would be carried out, and that they could not get the liberty of „pocketing the profits of banking, without being liable -for all its losses. These cunning fellows have no idea of bein - g put on a level with all their fellow-citizens who Airy en business. Notwithstanding they affect to la hoe for the public good, they take care to secure a large and certain amount of benefit for themselves, and cool ly ask the people to "pay fur the whistle," if they fail to manage their business properly. Banking is a pro fitable business, if prudently and economically carried on, a and specitil privilege to issue paper money cannot but he valuable to those who obtain it. Why, then, should the recipients of this sort of favor ask that the public shall be compelled to snake -up their losses, in - addition to furnishing profits as long as their business is successful. How a mechanic or merchant would be -booted et, if, when going into business, he should ask -a spatial act of Assembly to protect him against loss in Itis'business ventures. Yet in 'sling this be would -seek no more than banks enjoy. We cannot see why • the stockholders of a well-managed banking institution should hesitate to make themselves individually liable tor its debts. This matter of individual liability has long been a fa. s mite t heme with us. We -have urged its adoption on all suitable occasions, and we ate exceediagly re joiced at the near prospect of its adoption in iheLegis •tere. There may be matters in which we should not be anxious to see other States copy the example of Vhe (4a "-Keystone." But in this they could follow heilead with profit and permanent advantage to their citizens. -Boutvr BIODGIC.—The contract for the re construction of the Cumberland Valley Rail Road Bridge destroyed 'by fere,las been allotted to Mr Kirkbridge, a contractor from the State Of Obio. The letting gave rise to considerable competitien--se venceen different plans for the new constriction were exhibited. and about - twice that many - bids offernd.— The plan adopted is for a bridge of double lattice wotk, and differs in this respect from the cid, which was but single lattice work. The new structure is to be completed by the first of January, 1846. Igr The proposition fors cell of a Convention to revise the State Constitution, was lost, in the Virginia House of Delecates on Toorday by the-clse vote af 63 Or TEXAS Marrtsto.r-Soma twenty or thirty whigs and abolitioniits have lot Mr Howans, the Mayor, to call a meeting "without distinction df par ty," to talk and resolve against annexation. They should not have issued their call in this way. We cannot see why they should seek to obtain the help of the Democrats in this business, when the Gazette says that annexation i■ a "completely loco.foco measure." They have had the call signed solely by whigs and abolitionists, and they should call it a whig and aboli tion meeting. If they wish to get an expression of the people, "without distinction of party," against an nexation, why have they confined the movement to the two parties mentioned, and kept the whole affair so still. This is not the first time the whigs have at tempted to get the people '"without distinction of par ty," to endorse the views they may 'happen to favor at the time. Could they not, et the meeting, express their viewsof Mr Mrtvon Snows, the whig who wrote the annexation resolutions, and of the Louisiana whig Legislature, which passed resolutions in favor of an , nexation. INCREkS6 or !oral. svtos.—The Geographer, Mr Darby, calculates the future increase of our pop ulation from the pin census bibles, at 3 per cent ad vance per annum. Thus in 1790, we bad 3,929,327. In 1800, it reached 5,305,925, near 3 per cent. On this basis, he extends his calculation up to the year 1901. By the census tables.

If we look ahead, then, according to this species of statistics, the value of the acquisition of Tex as, for taking off the exuberant population of less than fifty years, will bailie all calculation. Our people (says the Milledeille Union) "have gone forward at a rate of nearly thirty miles per annum, and many have not stopped at the line, but planted their standard, and colonised with their blood this fine country. And is it here, with a fine and almost unoccupied country organ. ized for us, and bidding us to come, that Federalism is to bid as slop? Is it here, that the motley Mexi cans are to make good their threats of extermination, and thrust back our race with terrible recoil? Who are they in Congress, who dace make this question a matter of calculation for patty ascendancy? We a gain reprint, that Texas, now in the custody and own ership of our relations and friends, must nut be al lowed to slip through our fingers. It is a noble patri mony, and must descend to our children." I T.T.121019 —The Cincinnati Times states that the Legislature of Illinois has been a good deal disturbed by petitions, praying that the blacks may be denied the privilege of voting, and of intermarriage with whites A.committee reported a in favor of such a petition, and the House of Representatives approved of it, with on ly four dissentients. These four next day repented, and asked to change their votes. In order to aid them, a resolution was introduced as follows: "Resolved, That we think the laws prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks onght to be repeal ed. and that free twgroetrought not to be allowed to vote." Upon the adoption of this resolution, the yeas and nays were demanded, and every member present, in cluding the four who bed voted contrary, recorded his vote in favor Cifits passage. fIz•PY Sztztraz.--The collector of the District of Passamaquoddy advertises the seizure of "one jug, containing aquantity of brandy, illegally brought into the United States."

A special police is is be established for night service, and two hundred posts will be distributed in various quarters, at within short distances of each other. Each post will be occupied by twelve men, wider the command of a brigadier. All the posts are to furnish a certain number of patrols, comrosed of four men, which are constantly to circulate through the streets within their jurisdiction. The men are to be dressed in colored clothes, and covered with a cloak, under which they are to wear a pair of pimols and abort and sharp sa bres. They are, besides, to carry a loaded stick. sim ilar to those which are seen in the hands of the keep er of the public gardens. AU these posts are to com municate with each other by means of their patrols, so that should any citieen be returning home late, he can be escorted to his residence, is wlsateverquar ter he lives. This new service will not interfere in any way with the other bodiesestablidied for the pres ervation of the pdhlic order. Its service will com mence at night and cease at day-break. The city of Paris has offered to bear part of the expenses." "Individna/ Liabilt7g."—The prominent position which our new Governor gives to the great doctrine of Individual Liability, in his inaugural speech, es one of the fundamental and guiding principles of his Admin istration, will rejoice the hearts of the true Democra cy of Pennsylvania. The declaration of Governor Shunk becomes vitally interesting. wl en it is recollec ted that a number of bills asking for the rfecharter of various Banks will be pressed upon the Legislature at the present seasion. Let the principle which he boldly gives utterance to, "that men associated for gain, should, in common with othors, be individually liable for all their eagagem-nts"—vet this principle be applied to our Banks hereafter, and there will be little risk it/ bank notes and little danger of bank ex plosions.—Lone. FOREIGN ITEMS. Recentltalian papers centrist flattering accountsof the debut of Mariatwe Sutton. L'Oeckio, of the Pal ermo, states that bee first appellation it the Royal Theatre in that city was signally successful, and that she bad become quite the rage with the Palermitan dilettanti. She opened in Norma, and her performance of the part is spoken of in the highest terms of com mendation by all the critics. From Palermo she was to visit Naples, Bologna and Milan, where engage ments bad been offered her. She had been every where received with great consideration in musical circles, much more than was accorded her in this country. We learn that it is the intensitln of Madame Sutton after a year in Italy, to return to New York with a full Italian troupe, when she will be in time to open the new Opera House which we hope will be immediately commenced. There sees a report, some time since, that Madame Sutton bad failed at Milan. This is, of course, untrue, as she had not yet appeared at Milan at all; and be sides, all cur Italian papers speak in the highest terms of her. The learned Birch commnnietates to Mr Gliddon a curious and most valuable discovery of Sir J G Wilk ins43l), who, during a recent visit to Venice, found an ancient vase in the treasury of St Mark, (where until a hierologist saw its value, it had remained unnoticed,) containing the names and legends of Artaxerxes, in three uniform styles of writing—i. e. Persian, Medi an and Assyrian, "nail headed," or properly wow headed characters, with a corresponding inscription in Egyptian hieentglyphics. Mr Birch is preparing a memoir, with translations of all the languages on this vase. This is the amend vase of the kind in existence. The other, with the name of Xerxes, in arrowed-headed letters, translated by St Martin, and in hieroglyphics. translated by Champollion, (vide Precis) is in Ile Royal Library at Paris.

The London Medical Gazette, speaking of the ne cessity of reform in Army Discipline, says that 90,- 000 soldiers are doomed to a slavery worse than Al gerine, and that sucked the desperation to which they are driven by the persecuting spirit of their officers, that they perpetrate acts of insubordination to get rid of life, and one out of every twenty in the cavalry reg iments commits suicide. Several instances ofcruelty are noticed which are revolting to humanity, particu lar among the people who have such tender sympathies for negro slavery. A workman in England was poisoned and died, from working up arsenic in the manufacture of com posite candles, for the purpose of giving them the ap pearance of wax. His arm and glands were swollen, purple patches gradually covered his arm, showing the putrescent state of his blood. The poison was more tardy in iteeffects by absorption than if takeir in ternally, but equally certain. Similar accidents have happened in America, through want of sufficient oau lion in the manufacture of Paris green, in which arse nic. is a principal ingredient. A a physician of Paris named Raspail has made the astonishing discovery that all disea_4es "which flesh is heir to." are caused by the attacks of parasitic animals upon the various organs of humanity. He has, there fore,invented little tubes made of quills, in which ho inserts bits of camphor to destroy the epiz,e. All Paris may he seen with those quills in their mouths. Some French chemists in this city have imported them for sale. Here they are used to destroy the ef fluvia of tobacco smoke. Besides this, some of the disciples of Mesmer pro posed. by means of the usual passes, to magnetize a piece of iron. A day was appointed for the experi ment, and Amigo wee present to determine as to its success. All the usual efforts were made, but unlucki ly it was no go. The iron was not magnetized, and all Paris burst into a "guffaw" at the failure of the new philosopher. Dates have been received from Havana to the sth instant. The Governor General of Cuba, General O'Donnel, has paid a visit to Trinidad, where hews; received with great rejoicing.

[Albany Ada., Jas. 2.5. Diaiurbaltees in Caltaraps County.—The Buffa lo Commercial of Monday last says:— A serious disturbance, we understand, has occurred in Cattamugus county, in consequence of the serving of ejectment writs by the sheriff of that county, against individuals residing on land formerly belong ing to the Holland Land Company. The land, it seems, has passed through several hands, and fore closures have been made, and writs of ejectment ser ved upon several of the occupants. The sheriff, while in the act of serving a writ in the vicinity of Ellicottville, on Saturday last, was taken into custody, and several of his neighbors who, becoming alarmed at his absence, started to look after him were also re tained. Our informant states that a mob of from three to four bundeed individuals collected at Elli cottville on Saturday, threatening to tear down the jail for the purpose of releasing some friends there, and making demonstration to burn the land office. Col Cooke, of Springville, was called upon on Saturday night between 10 and 12, by several citizens of Cattaraugus county, who requested his co-opera tion in suppressing the disturbance.

Another Most Atrocious and Deliberate Murder. —A gentleman who arrived in this city last evening, from Camden, N J, informed us of the perpetration of one of the most deliberate murders that we have heard of for some time. It happened on Tuesday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, at about two miles from Haddonfield. It appears that two colered men had been quarrelling about something which we could not ascertain, and having separated, one of,them nam ed Samuel Thomas, who is employed on the farm be longing to Mr Rickard 1.. Lloyd of this city, shortly after returned with a loaded gun, and taking deliher ate aim, through the window, at the man with whom he bad been fighting, fired and killed him on the spot. The alarm soon spread, and as many persons es could be collected at the time, went in pursuit of the murder er, and succeeded in arresting him yesterday morning, at about a miledistant from where the scene of the bloody tragedy was enacted. Yesterday afternoon, just before sunset, the murderer was taken to Cam den. and was undergoing a bearing when oar inform ant was compelled to leave, as thebxt was about to start to cross the river.—Pkiks. 811171.

The music of "The Bohemian Girl" has of late been pidemic in Philadelphia, forming a species ofl erica nfluenza; which seems to affect every body I mote or less, both those who can sing, and those who. technically speaking, are "without an ear." It re sounds in parlor and in hlll—the little boys whistle it i in the streets, and the midnight bacchanal howls it on' his winding way, as he serpentines homeward. The particular favorite is of course, "I Dreamt that I dwelt in Marble Halls," sodelightfolly given by Mrs Seguin. l and likewise published nut long since in the columns of "Neal's Saturday Gazette;" two causes which, no' doubt,in their combination, contributed to the popular-, ity of Mr [hire's musical ideas. • 1 But however this may be, certain it is that all tbel world know the "Marble Halls;" or think they know it, even though their hummings thereof chance to be as little like the air itself, in its original condition. ns' were the Italian songs which Napoleon, who likewise bad "no air," used to chant to Miss Balcombo at Bt. Helens, by way of giving her an impression of what the legitimate opera is like. As an evidence of the rage for the music of —The Bohemian Girl," which now prevails among us, it may be mentioned that vot long since, at a small party, one of the ladies who bad arrived among the earliest, was asked to sit down to the piano forte. She cheetfullycomplied. and after a brief prelude, she sang, "I dreamt that I dwelt in Mar ble Halls," with which her hearers were highly de lighted. ' In the course ofa few moments, other guests came in, including a lady who also was remarkable for musical skill; and she too was solicited to sing—any thing—whatever-She pleased; arid again was heard, "I Dreamt that ldwelt in Marble Halls." in perfect an consciousness that it had been given before. A third party entered the room, and a third lady from among them. was conducted to the piano.— Once more the "Marble Halls," and the fair vocalist was somewhat surprised to observe that the applause" bestowed urn her performance were neutralized by a somewhat significant smile, which she,natunilly enough could not understand. The matter had now become a joke; and it was - earried out by continuing to request the new arrivals to sing, without informing them of what had already been done; and thus the company were favored five times in succession, with "I Dreamt that I dwelt in Marble Halls," the choice being left in every instance to the spontaneous selection of the sing er herself; and it may well be doubted whether a com position so sentimental in its strain, was ever produc tive of more amusement, than this appeal of the Bohe- mian Girl to her lover. If, therefore, Mr. Balfe be of the opinion of him who would ratber,make the songs of a people than enact their laws, he has fur the time being. had glory enough in that way, sofas. Philadel phia is concerned. We all "dream that we dwell in marble halls," which perhaps accounts for the fact that bad colds are an prevalent, "marble balls" being soma what of the dampest at this inclement season of the year.
