SMITH, EDITORS PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12 Much anxiety will, very naturally, be felt by -our -Democratic friends, and indeed all of 'bur citi zens, - to know why the President elect did not visit ooroity,when there was every reason to expect that they would be gratified by having it in their power to extend to him a hospitable welcome. From previous arrangements, it was generally ex pected that Col Potx would not arrive in Cincinnati Saterdsy - the •Ith inst. lt was said, indeed, that a letter hadbeen received from the President elect himself, designating that day for his arrival in that city. Acting on the impression that this idea was correct, the arrangements of the Ccmmittee of Reception in this city, were all made with a view to his arrival at Wheeling on Tuesday or Wednesday. Contrary to - frame expectations, however, he an ived at Cincinnati 'on thdeth, left there on the same evening at 9, and 'arrived at Wheeling, on the Steamboat Mail, on Sunday evening. It was not until Monday morning that the Pittsburgh committee learned that the Presi dent elect reached Cincinnati on the 6th, and even then there was no information as to when he would leave. As soon, however, as she could be got ready, I the fine steamer Louts hi'Lass, was dispatched to 'Wheeling to meet the President elect; she bad on ;board a large number of the Committee of Arrange 'neat, and other citizens, who went down to invite and 'escort Col. Pot it to our city. The Louts l'PLAne reached Wheeling about lc o'clock on Monday night, and then it was ascertained that the President elect had rested Sendai night in Wheeling and bad left for Washington, Pa, at about 12 o'clock on Monday, and that he purposed to stay all night in that town. It was then thought best to bake every possible effort to prevent the disappoint ment that must ensue from the President's failure to reach our City, and a meeting was organized on board -the boat, by calling H S MAGRAW, Esq, to the chair, to deliberate on the best course to pursue. It was mo. vod and carried that a coach be immediately engaged Ito convey a sub-committee of nine to Washington with all possible despatch, to intercept the President there, and endeavor to persuade him to alter his intended ronte i and come to Pittsburgh. It was also moved and married that the chairman and eight others, to be selected by bim,be the committee—and soon after these proceedings were had, a committee consisting of Hon C Grier, Gen J K Moorhead, C M'Kibbin, Coles Townsend, S W Slack, Esq, John D Miller, Juhn -Keown, and W H Smith, left Wheeling for Washing ton, and arrived at thelatter place, at half past 7 A M. The President elect had not yet left Washington, al though part of his company had precede(' bins to Un. iontown,where be proposed to stop last night. All the efforts of the committee to induce him to change the order of his arrangements were fruitless. But while the President elect refused to come to our city at this time, he manifested much regret that the circumstan ces were such as to preclude his coming to 'Pittsburgh'. which, he said, would afford more plea sure to him than it possibly could to his entertainers.— die added that he was induced to believe it impossible to reach our city by boat, or be should certainly have eorde here, and concluded by assuring the committee that onisis first visit west of the mountains, he should like Pittsburgh in his way. The President elect and his lady:with ttpart of his -company, left'Wesbington yesterday at 10 o'clock in the new coach President, which had been prepared for the overweening CLAY, and the Granite State, a nother coach almost equaling the first in elegance.— The coach President is painted and ornamented after the fashion of the most excessive private carriages. and is lined with red sick plush, with trimmings to suit —the cushions covered with the same material. Col Pout was welcomed on Monday by the people of Washington, through Dr WISHAILT, and up to the hoar of their departure, Hays' Mansion House war crowded with company—paying theitr respects to the President and his accomplished laif It may seem a matter of course to say that they received their visi lent with singular felicity and grace of manner, but atilt, at the risk of incurring this ?Ejection, we must say that we never saw persons whose cordial and easy deportment is so well caloulated to win all hearts, as !that of the President and his lady. P. S. It may be necessary to state, that es Thurs day next is the day on which, by custom, the President .elect receives notification of the result of the election, - Col Pot.x feels it incumbent on him to bo in Wash lagtun city by that time—end this fact had no doubt asuch influence in preventing ,him from coming to fittsburgh. THE New POSTAGE LAW.—We have no doubt but the public was gratified to learn from our paper of yesterday, that the bill to reduce the rates of post age and to limit the franking privilege bad passed in Abe Senate. The bill is too long to publish it entire -and we suppose that a synopsis of its principal pro visions will be satisfactory to our readers. It enacts that in lieu of the rates of postage now es .tablisbeci bylaw, there shall be charged the following 'sates, vist For every tingle letter, in manuscript, or paper of any kind by or upon which information *ball be asked for or communicated in writing, or by marks •and signs, conveyed in the mail, five tents; and for a double letter, there shall be charged double this rate; and for a treble letter, treble this rate; and for a quad -rap% letter, quadruple this rate; and every letter or parnel not exceeding half an ounce in weight, shall be deemed a single letter; and every additional weight of :half an ounce, or additional weight less than half an ounce, shall be charged with an additional single .postage; and all drop letters, or letters placed in any post office, not for transmission by mail, but for deliv • ery only, shall be charged with postage at the rate of Awe treats each. And all letters which shall berme. weirs advertised as remaining over in any post office shall, when delivered out, be charged with the costs of .advertising the same, in addition to the regular postage, both to be ancounted'fer ns other postages now It permits the circulation of all newspapess of no greater sue or impel flees than 1990 square inches, to subscribers within 30 miles of the place of pablica tion free of postage. For a greater dissanste•than 30 miles they are subject to the present wetted post age. An papers of a larger size than here stated are subject to the same postage charged on magazines and pamphlets. It Provides that all printed or lithegraphed , circa hers and Itatabills or advertisements, printed or lithograph ed on quarto post or single cap paper, or paper not larger than single cap, folded, directed, and unsealed, shall be charged with postage at the rate of two cents for each &beet, and noonore, whatever be the distance the same may be sent; and all pamphlets, magazines, periodicals, and every other hind and skseription of printed or other matter. (except newspapers,) which shall be unconnected writh.any manuscript conununica tioa whatever, and which it•is or may be lawful tossuss COL. POLK. mit by the mall of the United States, slistltinscharged at the rate of two aid a heir Mutts for each copysent, of no greater weight than 1 Dace, and 1 cent addition al shall be -charged fur each additional ounce'd the weight of every each pamphlet, magazine, clatter "or thing, whip may be transmitted through the map, whatever be the distance the spree may be transported; and any fractional excess, if not less than one-half of an ounce, in the weight of any such matter or thing, about one or more ounces, shall be charged for as if said excess amounted to a full ounva. It empowers the Post Master General to provide for the separate conveyance of the letter mail in case the matter for transportation should increase at any of the offices sasuch an extent as to endanger its safety or retard its speed. It repeals all existing acts or parts of acts, granting and conferring,upon any person whatever the right or privilege to receive and transmit through the mail, free of postage, letters, packets, newspapers, periodi cals, or other matters. It instructs all officers of the government who have heretofore had permission to frank documents relative to their departments, to keep an account of all postage charged to or payable by them, touching the duties of their respective offices, and said postage is to be paid quarterly out of the contingent fund of the depattment or but eau to which the officer is attached. The three Assistant Post Masters General and the Deputy Post Masters are entitled to have remitted by the Post Master in Washington all postage charged upon letters relating to the business of the Department- It continues to the Governors of the several States the privilege to transmit hymen certain books and doc uments. The members and officers of Congress are permit ted to transmit by mail any document printed by order of either House of Congress. The members and officers of Congress may for thirty days before and thirty days after each session, send free of postage all letters and documents relating to their official duties, that may not weigh more than two ounces, and all packages weighing more than two ounces will be paid for out of the contingent fund of the House. They shall have the right to frank writ ten hitters from themselves during the whole year, as now authorized by law. Private expresses,except for the purpose of trans mitting newspapers, pamphlets and magazines, are prohibited under a penalty of one hundred dollars. All stage and steamboat owners and officers, on mail mutes are forbidden to carry letters otherwise than in the mail, under a penalty of fitly dollars. All vessels and vehicles are forbidden to carry any person acting in the capacity of a private express, en gaged in the business of transmitting mailable matter. Any person after the passage of this act who may transmit by any private express any mailable matter except newspapers and Pamphlets, shall forfeit and pay the sum of fifty dollars. Steamboats are permitted to carry letters as hereto fore under the law. of 1825, which compels them to be headed over to the post master et their destine nation and charged the same rate of postage as if they had been transmitted by mail. No postmaster is per mitted to receive to be transmitted by mail any pack age which shall weigh more than three pounds. The Post Muter General is autism ized to contract with steamboat owners for the carrying of the mail, provided that the price to be paid for such service shall in no ca =e be greater than the avenge rate paid for such service under the last preceding or then exist ing regular contract for transporting the nail upon the route, he may so for a less time contract for ibe trans portation of the mail upon. The term newspaper is defined to be, any printed publicatfon, issued in numbers, consisting of not more than two sheets, and published at short stated intervals of not mote than one month, conveying intelligence of passing events, and bona fide extras and supplements ef any such publication. And nothing herein contain ed shall be construed as to prevent the free exchange of newspapers between the publishers thereof, as provi ded for under the twenty-ninth section of the act of 1825. One half of the pecuniary penalties and forfeitures under the act shall go to the informer and the oth er half to the U. S, to be accounted for by the P. M. General as other moneys of the Department. In case the revenue of the Department should not defray the expenditures under the new law, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars are appropria ted meet the deficit. Nothing in the act shall be so construed as to re peal the laws heretofore enacted, granting the frank ing privilege to the President of the United State while in office, and all ex-Presidents of the United States, and to the widows of the ex-Presidents Madison and Harrison. This is about the substance of the law. Many of the sections we hare not condensed, as they contain nothing but unimportant details, which would be of no interest to our readers. From the Pennsylvania Argus. CANAL COMMISSIONER As the time is drawing nigh, when it will be neces sary for the Democratic party to select a man to fill the office of Canal Commissioner, in room of the Hon. JAMES CLARKa, whose term of office expires in Jan uary next; and as the west is entitled to the man, and there is no other county that has stronger claims than Westmoreland, I would suggest the name of ISRAEL 'PAINTER, Esq., as a man well qualified in every re spect to , fill said office with credit to himself, and the best interests of the Commonwealth. His name has been favorably mentioned in connection with said of flee, in different tarts *file State, and if be should receive the nomination, of which I have little doubt, Westmoreland will give him an old fashioned ma jority.

Wilkinsburgb, Feb. 10. 1845. From tke Cincistnati Eilquirer, Feb. 7 ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT! Col Polk, President elect, in cowpony with his wife and sevenl gentleman of Tennessee, arrived in this city yesterday about 101 o'clock, A. M., on the ele gant steamer "Pike Nei," ender the escort of a com mittee of gentlemen from Louisville and another of this city. The Pike was escorted to the landing by steamers, Svriftsure, Mail, Simon Kenton, and West Wind, all abreast, and crowded with an immense mess of people, the whole presenting a very anime. ted and imposing appearance. At the wharf stood in waiting a great multitude of the people beside the military, who were oat in grand display, and when the President made himself conipicuous on the boat, greeted him with loud applause. From the boat the President was escorted through some of the streets of the city to the "Henrie House," where rooms bad been prepared for him by the committee of reception, and where be was addressed by Judge Reed in a brie and appropriate speech, welcoming him to the hospi tality of the city and congratulating him upon the ref suit of the great political issue which bad been dad dad in his election, to which Mr Polk responded, in manner chaste and pleasing, and in substance quits ap propriate. Mr Polk's appearance here, his reception of the people who crowded to see and welcome .him as their Chief Magistrate, has exerted a happy infiu once upon all parties the; we hope will-be cherished. We should have said that at 3 o 'clock clock in the after• noon the City Council, with Mayor Spencer, as their organ, waited upon Col Polk at his room and tendered him the hospitalities of the city,in a brief and pertinent address, to which he responded in proper spirit. His arrival here was some 24 hours in advance of the anticipated period, which disappointed thousands of an opportunity they desired to embrace of exchang ing congratulations, but still in display of numbers and and in good feeling the scene that was presented ex celled any thing of the Mod ever before witnessed in this city. During the afternoon and in the evening till shoat 9 o'clock Col. Polk continued to receive the visits of the people, at which hour he departed for Whealing in the Steamer "Mair'--eccotnpanied by a deputation from Louisville and another from this city. Reports from above of three being so much ice run ning as to impede and possibly to entirely to stop nav igation above Portsmouth, had reached here during the day. and gave Col. P. friends fr om Columbus, who had been deputed by the people there to proceed to this city and escort him to the Capitol of the State, some hope of their desire being gratified; but many 111 bo were experienced in navigation gave it as their opinion that it would still be open, and Col P ,conettl ting the comfort of his lady, who was greatly fatigued, decided on the latter alternative. From the Nashville Union, Feb. 4. DFPARTURE OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT FOR WASHINGTON CITY. The President Elect, accompanied by his wife and private secretary, Mr Walker, left Columbia on Tues day last for Washington city. A large number of Mr Polk's neighbors and friends were in Columbia to take an affectionate leave of the President Elect of the Na don. It was an affecting scene. He was surrounded by the companions of his youth, the sons of his early friends and the gray-headed‘pioneers of the country, who had aided in elevating him through the several offices to which he had been from time to time elected, until he has finally reached the highest position known to the government. As Mr Polk approached the town of Franklin, on Tuesday evening, he was met by a number of friends; who escorted him to the residence of Christopher M'- Ewen, Esq.. where he remained until Wednesday morning. He arrired at Nashville on Wednesday, where be remained, receiving the visits of oar citizens until Thursday evening, when he visited the Hermit age, and spent the night with General Jackson. On Friday he wok leave of the old Hew, and in view of the probability that it was the last time he will see that I venerable old patriot it may well be imagined that the parting scene war deeply interesting. Mr. Polk returned to Nashville on Friday morningi and remained at the bee, surrounded by crowds of visitors, until Saturday morning, when he left in the I steamer China for Washington. A large number of our citizens accompanied him to the. wharf and there took leave of him. He left in company with a number of friends who will attend him to Washington, bearing with him the sincere prayers of thousands for his safe tf whilst on his journey, and for his successful admin., ietwtion of the government. • ' From the Pennsylvanian. NATURALIZATION FRAUDS. Among three appointed under the commissions lately authorised by the United States Senate to ex amine into the alleged naturalisation frauds in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, we were struck with the fact ' that there Was but one democrat, (Samuel Badger, esq., of this city,) and were dispo sed to give the whig Senate some credit for its ex traordinary liberality tel us in appointing this demo- Mt on our commission, when none of the others had even our but it appears by the following letter of Mr. Archer that he was appointed by mistake, and that ft MU the intention of the Senate to exclude democrats altogether. Sir. Archer acknowledges that there are "Circe parties, each having a claim to be represeatell," and that "more than one of the pit y on the commission wouid earn° -prejudices, give • handle for the impaction of a one-sided proceeding; and so hurt the impcctanteltect of the commission. To us the whole inweesigettemkees like a one-sided proceeding, got up fir the sole purpose of deception. If itbadbeen intended tote a Tel t and fair investiga tion of - facts, without reference to patty objects, -why were not each df the commissions filled-as Mr Archer indicates they ought to be—with a member of each of three political parties? Why were democrats inten tionally excluded from them all, except in the case of Mr Badger, who was put there by mistake! These Senate commissioners, if deny importance, ought to be met by ethers appointed nailer the authority of the House of Representatives in which the democracy of the countrymen be he ard with some degree of fairness.

Yesterday, at noon, both branches of the legislature proceeded to the election of a United States Senator for six years from the 4th of March next. In each house, and subsequently in joint ballot, Daniel S Dick inson was nominated and appointed, by the united votes of the democratic members, over both the whig and native American candidates. Thu vote stood as follows: S Dickinson. J C Clark. Robt Taylor Senate 25 4 0 House 65 40 15 The minority of the demoenus who, in the joint caucus, hesitated in giving their approval to the nom ination of Mr Dickinson, were, with two exceptions, all in their seats, and gave their votes in accordance with the caucus designation. The two absent mem bers alluded to were out of the city. Two democra. tic senators were also absent from the city. We congratulate the democrats of the State epee a result auspicious, as we hope. of future harmony, and in accordance, as we believe, with their wishes and expectations of a large majority of them. It does jus tice to an eminent democrat, while it vindicates and upholds the system of caucus naminations. Diasessing Accident.—A most melancholy acci dent occurred in New York, oa Tuesday - night, from the running away of the horses attached to a cab, by which *young and satiable girl was deprived of her ex istence, from accident and carelessness combined. Mr Candor, of No 17 Lafayette PIN*, procured the servi ces et a cabman to convey him and his only daughter; Charlotte, to an evening party in 11th street. Oa their return home, the cabman stopped at No 29 Waverly Place. to let out a lady who had accompanied Mr Can. da and his daughter. While the cabman was standing by the side of his carriage, the horses, from some un explained cause, took fright, and ran through Waverly Place to Broadway, and up Broadway to Fourth at., where they stopped at their stable door. The driver pursued the horses, but to his consternation, on overta king the vehicle, ho found it empty. The body of the unfortunate young lady was picked up near the N Y Hotel, and conveyed into that establishment, where sho died soon after.
