THOS. PHILLIPS It WM. H. SMITH, RDITORS
PITTSBURGH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1845
Ear The federal majority in the Ohiu Legislature,
site carrying, out their principles with a high band.—
'They loos sight entirely of the rights of the greet
moils of the people ; they set at naught the rules of
tba. Legislature, and totally disregard every other in•
wrest bath st of the bank speculators, to which is
cow devoted the whole of their official labors.
Vim Bank bill which is now before them, is said to
be one of the most infamous ever devised to swindle
the people. Its base and irresponsible provisions have
.been fairly set forth by the•semocratic members, and
the ultimate results that would naturally follow the
Incorporation of an institution with such unusual
gliserars, have been clearly portrayed, but all theireffor is
SteetiniSeient to check the headlong dishonesty of the
'federal majority. They are determhsed that nothing
r shall prevent the passage of the bill, and the demo
crats find k useless to struggle against the dishonest
`determination of their opponents.
The - Statesman says, there is a standing rule in the
House,. which prohibits the introduction of any bill in
the House to create more than one corporation. This
bank bill not only authorises something like eighty or
it hundred new banks, but also expressly incorporates
eight or ten existing companies. The Democratic
- members of the House raised a question of order on
this standing rule. The Speaker decided the bill to be
in ceder; an appeal was taken from his decision. To
suppress all debate on the question of order, the previ
ous question was moved by the majority. The Dem
ocratic members, not disposed to be thus gagged
down and see the liberties of the people prostrated
without even the ordinary forms of legislation, resisted
the proceedings by efforts for istiournment until twelve
o'clock Saturday night, when the House adjourned.
When the question of order was raised, it was after
the ordinary hour for adjournment, but the majority
-were determined to force a compliance with the man
date of the tin-pan.
What safety have the rights of the people in the
bands of men who are thus regardless of all the prin
ciples of honesty and justice.
OREOOL—We are pleased to tee the gr ow ing disposi
tion in Congress to take prompt and effectual action on
the Oregon question. It was surely a great oversight
in those who have had the management of our foreign
affairs, to let this matter slumber so long, while it was
.evident to every one that every year would add to ihe
difficulty of adjusting it, bemuse every year would add
to the number of emigrants to Oregon, both American
and Britiah, who would developo the resources and
increase the value of the acquisition. The rpiestion is
constantly becoming more frequent, Why could not this
matter have been settled when Ashburton was here to
negotiate about the Northern Boundary? The subject
was certainly apposite when a boundary between the
two nations was the topic, and no time can ever come.
When the question can be so easily settled, as it might
Lave been then.
Brae article in the Globe on the subject of Oregon,
itasetus that the British emigrants assume, no doubt
under instructions from the mother country, that the
Columbia river is to be the dividing line between the
British and American portions of Oregon; the Amer
cans are warned net to settle on the northern side of
that river- The Globe says that if the British can suc•
ceed in confining the American settlements to the
southern side of the Columbia, they will secure all
that is most valuable of the territory of the country.
'besides its whole trade; because there is no harbor
worth any thing in the portion of the country which
the British have so generously assigned tn the A
merican settlers.
It is to be ardently hoped that Congress will take
early and decisive action on this subject. It is one in
:which the people take deep and abiding interest.
CABALS TO TUZ 'Aut.—Under this title the Bea.
ver Argus has a notice of the comparative prospects
of business by way of the Cross Cut Canal to Cleve
land, and on the Erie Extension to Erie. The busi
ness folk of Cleveland are manifestly alarmed at the
affect the Extension will have on the lousiness of the
Cross Cut, and a writer in the Herald shows that the
advantage of the Extension in point of distance is se
ven miles, and its advantages in the matter of tolls on
the prominentarticles will be relatively greater. The
lolls on both routes artuibus given:

It le calculated that the difference in favor of the
Erie Canal, if the present rates of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio Cross Cut be continued, will boas one to three.
Of course, the Cross Cut Company must greatly re.
dues their rates of toll, or their works will be useless.
The question, Will not these great reductions in the
rates at which goods can be transported from the Ohio
to the Lakes, injure the Main Line of the Pennsylva•
nia Works? is now very interesting to every well.
wisher of nur State.
A REW DESIGNATION YOR"DEATH."—Ever since
the revival of letters in modern times, writers and
speakers have been devising striking and startling
names for Deistic. All sorts of tropes and figures have
been employed to set forth the doings of the "King of
Terrors" in such a light as might most deeply impress
the world with a sense of the awful uncertainty of
thuassa existence. The editor of the Mercer Whig
has been trying his hand at describing the ravages
of the "fell destroyer," which he does in the following
very singular sentence :
"This dispensation of Divine Providence recalls to
our minds the startling tact, that the young, the middle
aged, as well es the aged, are alike marks for the shafts
of the pale horse, and a call to all to prepare to meet
-their God."
All will be struck with the force and otigirality
telling "Death" the 'pale horse.' While the profound
and philisophical reflOtione of the writer shout the
fat* of the "young, the middle aged, as well as the a
ged," cannot fail to mske a deep impression on all who
neverbad a similar view of the subject presented to
their salads.
larThere is a report in Philadelphia, that Messrs.
Oaidey and Leavitt, agents of the State of Illinois, had
been robbed of all their papers, securities, &c., on
the National Road, on their way house. The trunk
containing them was said to have bean cut from the
stage boot.
Wedo not believe there is any truth in the report,
as we have conversed with a gentleman. who was in
congiany with Messrs. Oakley and Leasict fee some
Coto in Ciaainnati, and they made no mention of it
then.

The N Y Morning News gives the following touching
and impressive description of the funeral of the young
i lady who was killed in New York by the running a.
way of a cab: "The funeral service of young Char
• lotto Canda was performed yesterday 2, P M., at the
Catholic church of St. Vincent de Paul, in Canal
street, with the imposing and touching ceremonial of
that Church. The church was throughout hung with
black, and the light being excluded from without, it
was illuminated with the the tapers within. A grand
mass for the dead was performed. and a requiem chan
ted with funeral music of the roost impressive charne
-1
ter. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather,
and enctunberance of the street by the snow, the funer
al was attended by a great concourse of our most re. ,
spectable citizens, walking on foot from the residence J
of Mr Canda, Lafayette Place, to the church. •
No event has for a long time occurred which bail
cast a similar pall of gloom, over our community, es
pecially in those circles where she Will personally
know, as the sudden and distressing fate of this ex
cellent young lady. To a singular brightness - and
sweetness of character, she united great quickness of
mind, and an unusual degree. of cultivation. Though
thus dying on her 17th birth day, she was the famili
ar mistress of six different languages, besides being
en accomplished musician, and a proficient of much
taste and skill in drawing. Nor -had beauty been
withheld by the lavished hand of nature, to crown the
rare union of charms and qualities which made her the
idol other parents, the delight of her friends, and IMO
of the lovliest ornaments of society.
It was a singular coincidence that on this evening,
in compliance with the wishes of her parents, she
had declined attending the small party from which she
was returning when the accident Recurred; but is the
course of the evening the was seat for again with the
plea that it was nothing without her. She then begged
permission to go—urging that heretofore every one of
her birth-days had been marked by some cross or mis
hap, frustrating the ordinary pleasant celebration of
the day; but that the present one had been free from
any such, and that she wished to conclude it in the
agreeable manner to which she was thus solicited.
Every circumstance appears to have occurred that
could give the keenest poignancy to' the agonies ,of
such a blow, to the hearts of the parents, whose only
daughter she was. The sacredness of such grief is
nut to be invaded, even by the tenderest and most sym
pathising touch of a public pen,—though a sad story
might be told of its heart-breaking excess, to which
time nad God can alone bring consolation."

while it has generously exteeded to this pusemited
prelate the sympathies which the nature of the case so
imperiouslj demanded, has not been necessarily in.
kind to those who bare tikes part against bias, gives
the subjoined opinion case after a careful readiog
of the whole evidence. We ate inclined to plate
much reliance on the Mirror's opinion, because it has
not been too hastily given, and because, throughout the
whole controversy, it has carefully sought to mete out
justice to all parties, and to arrive at the truth of the
whole affair.:
"We have no particular reason to express this °phi
ion beyond onr choice between a troublesome good ac'
tion and a safe neutrality, but bete it ia:—
"We 'believe the evidence is part true, and part az
aggenttion, (bewildeed or wicked) and that the true
part chews points to condemn as to the Bishop's taste
in manners, bet entirely acquits his conscious inten
tions. We believe that be has been most unfairly
Wed by a court cruelly ill-composed and on ground
wholly illegal ; that sectarian bitterness, personal quar

damnation; and we venture to suggest that we think
it should be the duty of his friends in the Church, and
of all lovers of charity and human pity, to see this
persecuted was safe to a brighter spot in toe lark
road ke is now travelling."
A correspondent in the Mirror also calls attention
to a very important matter in regard to the trial, viz:
That the canon under which he was convicted, is an
ex post facto law. The canon was adopted about
sire months since. The Latest case of alleged miscon
duct by the Bishop, took place, if we mistake not,
about two and a half years ago. The writer thinks
"such a convictiou is contrary to every principle of
jurisprudence, whether civil re ecclesiastical."
MORI Etivxstraisx.—The Baltimore Republican
says:—'The brig Francis Amey, Capt Blaney, which
sailed from Baltimore some time since, was at St.
Thomas on the sth ult, to sail next day for Camara.
It will be recollected that Ibis vessel went out to the
Spanish Main last winter, provided with a diving bell
and other apparatus, for the purpose of making the at
tempt to get a richly laden Spanish man-of-war, said
to be sunk in that region. From aurae defect in the
apparatus, they were compelled to return without
being successful in anything more than in finding
what they supposed to be the sunken vessel—
They have gone out to repeat the attempt with their
apparatus, bell, &c., in complete order, and are
sanguine of success, and now, we suppose, at the point
of their opr rations, and should they be successful at
getting at the suppose bulk of the ship, they may reap
a rich reward for their dangerous undertaking. We
trnst that they may be lucky in this second enterprise.
A bill has passed the Senate of Missouri, de
claring the marriage of Congrave Warner and Eliz
abeth Crockett null and void. The parties were at a
wedding, and upon a banter given, probably by the
gentleman, they mounted their horses and rode to a
justice's, where the ceremony was performed. Upon
their return, ainflever afterwards, the lady insisted that
it was all a joke, arid refused to consider it otherwise.
The gentleman desired to standup to the joke t but the
lady would not.
[l:7The Denver Argus t speaking about the expect
ed visit of Col Potx to this city, makes several erro
neous statements., and winds up by saying that "Mr
Potx passed up on yesterday (Tuesday) evening, on
the steamer Lewis M'Lane, in possession of the of

people of Beaver; it certainly was to dose who came
up in the Louis lll'Lane.
SHOCKING TRAGEDY.—Extract from a letter dated
St. Francisville, La., January 29th:
"A most awful tragedy occurred on Sunday night.
A man by the name of Halter, who keeps a grocery,
accidentally shot his wife ; the charge entirely blowing
off' the top of her head and scattering her brains all
over the r side of the room. It was said he was about
to shoot his barkeeper, who, in a fit of intoxication,
had threatened to whip him, and for that purpose had
attempted to break into his room. Ile has been held

In one of the last soriees, given on the oc.maion of

with pearl balls over each acanthus leaf, was very
much admired. The crown was placed on the plait
of the back hair, being itself narrower then the braid.

with gold, have a very pretty effect when twisted round

Having entered the enemy's territory, he set the ex

it became a point of honor with the officers to wear, at

to the commanding eminence of society. In times of
calm and quiet, those high places are of't'en attained by
mediocrity, with even more certainty than by great
character or transcendent ability, because, in such
times, a ccurse of mean intrigue, of low cunning and
base subserviency, is too often necessary to success—a
course to which high honor and conscious ability nev

could not keep in her employ much longer than a sea

she could not succeed in getting off herself. Many,

Friday, February 14, 1845.
Business still remains dull throughout the business
circles of our city, and upon calling upon our whole-
I sale merchants and manufacturers, we find them gen
erally in good heart, with excellent stocks, and well
prepared for an early spring trade—with fine assort
ments of very cheap goods, and they are daily adding
to their stocks. We notice New Orleans Sugar and
Molasses plenty and very cheap. Country produce is
