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

Thus, fifty odd years hence, he estimates our popu

the great Valley of the Mississippi, to the Columbia
River, and the Pacific Ocean, and along the Gulf of
Mexico. 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."

A.committee reported a in favor of such a petition, and
the House of Representatives approved of it, with on

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

Upon the adoption of this resolution, the yeas and

NEW POLICE tN PARIS.—The Revue de Paris
contains the following:
'lt is stated that the Government will propose in the
course of the approaching sessitn, a bill to increase
the preventive police of the city of Paris. 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.

the debut of Mariatwe Sutton. L'Oeckio, of the Pal

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

to visit Naples, Bologna and Milan, where engage

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

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

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

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

happened in America, through want of sufficient oau

A a physician of Paris named Raspail has made the

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

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

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

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

following amusing
MUSICAL INCIDENT.
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.
THE MARKETS.
OFFICE or THE PICILTEHEr
New Orleans, January 24. 5
After several successive failures, the Eastern msil ar

day previous, with advices from Liverpool to the 6th
and Havre to the oth ult. We h the given extracts of
the commercial news in another column, and have to
observe that it is a little more encourageing than
what we have been in the habit of receiving for some
time past. There was in consequence yesterday a very
animated inquiry for Cotton, and the business summed
up 3,500 biles, which nearly swept the market of all
that was on sale. Prices are a shade higher, and in
many instances pethapslc., although we cannot well
alter our quotations.
Only a small business was done yesterday in Sugar,
and prices range from 21 to sc. per lb. according to
quality. Molasses sells at 15 to 151 for oak and 16
to 161 per gallon for cypress barrels, but there is not
much demand.
The Flour market is very dull at $4 per bbl. for Ohio
and $4 25 to $9 50 for favorite St Louis brands.—
Nothing of any consequence was done yesterday in the

THE SUBSCRIBERS, IN ANNOUNCING TO
their friends and the public their continued and
extended arrangements for bringing out emigrants
frum Great Britain and Wend, would merely say that
for the year 1845, the price of passage has been con
siderably reduced, notwithstanding the heavy expenses
that have been incurred, and that no pains will be
spared to enable them to retain that preference which
for more thee twenty years has been extended to this
line.
The Ships employed are only of the first class, com
manded by competent and efficient men, well known
for their kind and unceasing attention to the comforts
and convenience of passengers and as a ship of the Hoe
sails from Liverpool every six days detention at that
port is entirely avoided.
Where those settled for decline coming out the pas
sage money is refrinded, without deduction to those
from whom it was received.
A free passage per steamer, from the various ports
of Ireland and Scotland, can be secured if desired.
