.L THE PAUPER.—The AGE has undertaken
ication of WEBSTER, the great pauper of the
whigs. Why the Ago felt called upon to
this ungracious and difficult task, we cannot
, unless itis because WERSTZR, in ono of his
Peeches, gave in a sort of adhesion to Nativism,
It say; but, if we remember rightly, like his fa
me/ about taking possession of the British terri
me 4th ofJuly," he modified this rash oration,
as he saw that it would probably get him into
But be the motive of the writer in the Age
ay, we hope that after his eruption of Pick
wicki an venom, he feels "directly better,"--the "malig
nant exnalatione" and 'faulphureoes vapor" which he
bee emitted, must have been very troublesome. We
are sorry, however, that in his ":ages, and his furies,
and his wraths, and his cholera, and his mood., and
his displealnres, and his indignation., and also being
a little intoxicates in his twain.," he should have dealt
like peat almoners of Boston and their bloated favorite
-so many hatd blows. We would recommend to the
friends of the champion of the Godlike, in case be
should again take a fit of "indignation.," that they
shall look to him and see that he deer not kill the
friend be seeks to defend.
We shall not consume much time in replying to
the overstraioed,and wishy-washy malignity of the wri
, ter in the Age—but simply reply to his falsehoods con.
zeroing ourselves. He says that we abused a "distin
guished manufacturerin Boston for having made ado
nation of $20,000 to a benevolent Meth u ion of Boston."
This is wholly untrue—a publication entirely baseless.
We have never censured any Boston manufacturer for
making donations for any purpose—except indeed, (or
the malntainance in riotous and luxurious living ofthe
Great Pauper of Massachusetts.
The writer in the Age seems to forget that the whiga
have organs of their own in this city, and very chival
rously asks, "Who ever heard of pensioners of public
peculation in Whig States?" We know that this has
nothing to do with. the question at issue, but we will
reply by asking vehether Kentucky is a whig State, and
how about the $76.000 which hits been amok by the
late officers of that commonwealth in some sort of a
receptacle, of which the bottom has not yet been found.
"But Mr Webster is poor, says the Post." The
Post said nothing of the kind- A man is not poor who
has been living at an expense of from 6 to $20,000 a
year. Mr WEBSTER has a seat at Afarshileid, near
Boston, where he lives in splendor, and spends more
money for a single "chowder party," than one in every
thousand of the people of this ermary, can make by
honest industry in a year. So far from being poor,
Wxasrea knows nothing of being restricted in any
luxiry his appetite may crave. If %arras were
poor, and had lost his substance in the service of the
State, or even or of his party, the munificence of his
friends would not have been so grossly misplaced.—
But he is not poor. 'And the money that they have got
by passing round this hat for him, will not b e a pplied
to supplying hint with the comforts of life, but to the
gratification of a pampered appetite. ..
The Age and kindred prints, have takenmuch pains
to show that a vast majority of the paupers in this
country ate of foreign extinction, and have produced
moebevidence-( whether credible or not,we will not say)
to sustain their position. But we think the Age ren
dered its labors in that field entirely useless by taking
up the vindication of an expensive pauper of Ameri
can birth, to maintain whom it has cost more than
sufficient to keep all the foreign paupers in the Alms
House at Boston for years to come. We are obliged
to the Age for showing that Monroe and Jefferson,
who spent their best years in their country's set vice,
enti-who periled their 'lives and fortunei' in their coun
try's cause, never accepted public or private charity.
These republican fathers were poor; they lived in a
style, during the last days of their career, that the lux
urious Webster- would utterly scorn. Ile receives
more fur a siogiefee. from his "toadies and tools," than
would have maintained either of them for a year.
We do earnestly advise the writer in the Age to
restrain his"furies" and his "indignations" on the sub
ject of WYBSTEIL'S pauperism. It can do the Gs'.
like no possible good to hold him up as a splendid in
stance of public charity, among a peop'e whose self
dependence is proverbial, and who, the Age has taken
much pains to show, scorn to cut the bread of beggary.
It can not add to his fame and usefulness to show that
ho is the only public man in this country who is a
charge upon his friends.
As GOOD A.l his Wottica..—During the latecanvass
for President, there was a man named M'Quown,
who-Egon-8 extensively in Louisville, ICy., as a whig
leader. De was active in the riots of the First ward
of that city, where the Democratic Germans were so
savagely beaten. Tho Louisville Democrat says that
thisfamoes Captain 11I'Qcowa , was frequently heard
to threaten that if Pout was elected ; he would "run
Away to semevrhere." And it would seem that he had
fully yedeemed his promise, a feat which his whig
brethren seldom accomplish. The manner in which
thecaptain kept his pledge to run away somewhere,
4s related is the Louisville Journal.; that paper, how
ever. does not allude to the Intl that Captain MAilao* n
abstiatulated in pursuance to u solemn political vow
to that efect•
It would seem that Captain M'Qrovett "run off" a
istyaniboat called the "Spartan" from New Orleans,
for debt; that on his way io the Gulf, he Stopped at
Franklin, La., to get-a
-clearance for Tease; that on'
his wariown the Teche, tie carried off nine cords
of wood belonging In some negroes. ' When one'
of the negroes went on board for his pay, -the -boat
took-him off and landed Lim some distance below.
And thus the 'redoubtable and chivalrous Captain
M'Quotrn got out of the country as he said he would.
sooner than live under tits rule of same, K. Polk. It
is 116petimhat lie has left few such fellows us himself
behind him.
Ate lIITCRILITINCI DISCIISSIoN..--A Mr Grant is
delivering Lectures in New York, on Ethnography.—
The course of his argument is to show an essential
and incurable inferiority of the colored races and espe
cially the Negro race, to the white. The News says
that he illashstied his discussiMa by a number of
skulls of the different races, including two Egyptian
Mummy skulls. At she conclusion of the lecture be

ist who might feel disposed to question his facts or
reasoning, and offering either oral or written debate,
On this, Dr M'Cuiv. Soria, a colored physician of
that city (toilette in complexion) rose and accepted
the challenge, and expressed his gratification at an
opportunity of discussing this interesting subject with
so able an advoaate of the opposite theory from that to
which his study of it had led his mind. He did this,
both in the capacity of a student of nature, and as a
humble individual of the class degraded by this coarse
of argument. After some remarks, the lecturer ac
ceded to the offered acceptance nf his challenge, and

THE "Suer MANCEUVERICR."—This is the title of
new invention for turning ships, lately conceived
England by Mr "lawn Foulestone, and is said to
one of the most extraordinary improvements in nauti-
Chl mechatticiam produced in this inventive era. It
has been tried upon several of her Mnjesty's ships,
and pronounced "invaluable" for the purpose designd.
The properties of the machine are described as fol
lows:
The power of immediately turning a ship, so as to
direct her head to any given point, independently of
the rudder and sails, has long been felt to be a deside
ratum by practical seamen. This want is supplied by
the present invention. the principal advantage of which
are its simplicity; its general applicabilit y ; the prompt
means, both of attack and defence, it affords to en
gagements, its recut ity from cannon shot; and the fa
cility with which it may be made to sub serve any oth
er means that nre now used for steering. The in
vention consists in a powerful screw, secured within a
tube, and fixed (out of reach of cannon shot) in the
dead wood of a vessel's stern, at right angles to the
keel. It is woiked by a capstan, operating on a ver
tical spindle, which communicates by means of bevel
wheel and pinion, with a horizontal shaft, into which
the pinion is keyed to the screw. They acted upon by
the capstan and their accesaories."
A Bloody Assamll.—On the evening of Mardi-
Gras a difficulty occurred between H. F. Hatch, of
this city, and n gentlemen from New York, by the
name of J ack sots. A misunderstanding at. so in the St
Louis Ball-Room. Shortly afterwards they met out of
doors when words ensued, which were followed by
blows. Mr. Hatch some ten or fifteen minutes after
wards procured n knife, and assaulted Mr. Jackson in
the ante-room, giving him a dangerous stab in the
breast and several othersjn the body. Mr. Jackson
was repotted to have died last night. An affray of
this sort at a public ball, at one of the first hotels in
the city, is well calculated to produce great inquiry
and excitement. It is a most shocking affair; but as
the matter will undergo judicial investigation, and we
could not arrive at positive information as to
the beginning of the controversy of the exact nature of
the provocation that produced the stabbing, it would
he out of place to volunteer an opinion respecting it;
further Thant° remark. theta scene of bloodshed upon
en occasion of the kind, almost in the presence of la
dies assembled, c to pass a holiday in festivity and joy,
must excite inihn public mind feelings to akin to hor

PRESIDENT POLE ON HIS WAY TO WASH•
INGroN
Before ourreaders shall have roamed their bleak
fast palatable by &pens& of the San, President Polk
will have slept one night in Washiagton, p. twirled that
"tired nature's sweet restorer "rein but condeicend
to visit his eyelids. It may be that the spirit or office
seeking will prevent this somnolent consummation,
which ought to follow upon the termination of his jour
ney, to the metropolis"; but we shall find . ourselves
somewhat mistaken if it does. He does not appear
to be a man likely to be "perplexed in the extreme"
on any acnount. Self•possession appears to be a pro
minent trait in his character, and he will therefore en
joy iftwardpeace, and placidity of mind, while others
are kept awake by anxiety. This is, however, only
speculation, but having facts for its text.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, an extra train
of cars started from the Pratt street depot for the
Relay House, one of which contained a committee of
forty-two (David Steuart, Esq., chairman) to meet
and receive the President elect, and invite him to this
city. The train consisted of six cars, which were
crowded to excess, The number who went out in the
extra, and previously in the Frederick train, was esti
mated at about four hundred, and large accessions
were made by the surrounding country. in all sorts of
vehicles and on horseback, and also by the regular
train fro.n Baltimore city to Washington.
On the arrival of the cars from Cumberland, the
Bald more committee convened on the railroad plat
form,wiren David Steuart, Esq., made an eloquent and
impressive address to President Polk, and tempted
him the hospitalities cf the people of Baltimoreff •The
President made a brief reply, happily conceived and
well expressed. His thanks for the invitation were
delivered in a tone of sincerity, and not less sincere
appeared his exhibition of feeling in reference by im
plication, to the democratic fidelity of Baltimore.—
Yet he made no mention of any party topic, nor any
direct reference to the matters, or tory of them, upon
which parties are at issue. Ho appeared to be per
fectly self-possessed; he was evidently somewhat mo
ved; and while he courteously declined the invitation
to visit Baltimore now, on the ground that it would he
inconsistent with the arrangements of his journey to the
national metropolis, he promised to avail himself of
some other oppnnunity t o accept of its hospitality.
Messrs. W. F. Giles, James Hooper, —Sharkee,
and —Garrett, who had been to Harpet's Ferry
as a committee of invitation, received a similar reply.
They came on with the President, who was accumpa
nied by Mrs. Polk, J. K. Walker, his private secreta
ry, Dr. Esslemnn, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Harris, and
some others, as friends. The President, after thener
emony of shaking hands with a vast multitude of en
thusiastic friends and admirers, was conducted by the
committee to a room in the Relay House; and in a few
minutes after, the arrival oI.Mr. Dallas, the Vice Pre
sident elect by the regular train from Baltimore,
was announced. Mr. Dallas was conducted to the
room occupied by Mr. Polk and his numerous friends,
and which was immediately crowded to excess. The
meeting--the first we believe since the election, and
for some time previous—between the two successful
candidates for the high races of President and Vice
President of this great Republic, was ono of much in
terest. Neither had sought or expected their ermine
tions so far as the public know, and as every one be
lieves, yet both were elected; and on this occasion they
met on their way to the national metropolis, to assume
the burthen of those duties imposed upbn them by the
unsought suffrages of a free people.
Talk of kings and emperor.'! Why there was more
real dignity in the republican deportment of those two
plain men, than ever" hedged" either king or emperor.
Nature " welled up" in both, and memory furnished
forth materials for a brief conversation, rather a pri
vate than a strictly public nature, properly consider
ed. After a few minutes announcement was made
that the cars were ready, and the President and Vice
President departed for Washington, amid the cheers
of the excited and entusiastic multitude. The extra
train then returned to Baltimore. It is proper here
to observe, that the arrival and departure of both the
dis:inguisbed gentlemen, and of the Baltimore corn
mitte were signalized by repeated discharges of artil
lery, ;rid that Mrs Polk, w.to remained in the cars,
continued to he the centre of attraction to an adn
ring crowd, many of whom took her by the hand, and
shook it with au enthusiasm not inferior in intensity to
that which greeted het fortunate husband.

HO! FOR OREGON
Among the numerous companies organizing to start
for the new State in the spring, is one under Capt Ad
ams, of Missouri, which has issued a sort of prospec
tus, as follows:
lentritanEscr., Mo., Jon. 15, 1845.
Dcza Eta:—The Postmaster at this place handed
tno your letter. to which 1 most cheerfully reply.
The Emigrating Cu., that will start from that place
next spring for Oregon, from present indications, will
exceed any prior one. It is desirable that all the em
igrants should rendezvouz in this plaza or vicinity, by
the middle of April next, that arrangements can be
made for a thoroggb organization, stethat we may start
by-the Ist of May. We would advise emigrants not
to load their wagons more that 2000 pounds. As to
furniture take none-end you bad better sell year feath
er beds, and take in their place a good supply of blan
kets andquilts. Take no crockery — but rather tin
ware. With respect to provision stores, let a good
part be flour in the shape. of pilot bread.
If any should take an over supply of coffee. tea or
sugar, they can always obtain an excellent price fur
them at the different posts we pass.
All working cattle, mules and horses should be pro
vided wiit extra shoes. Loose cattle can be driven
to advantage, as the country through which we pus
is capable of sustaining countless numbers of stock.—
Leila crowds generally move slow. but we can easily
go through even to the Pacific in four months. The
distances we shall travel are nearly as follows:
From Independence to Fort Larimie, 750 miles
" Fort Larimie " " Halt, 559
" Wallavralla, 450 •,
'' Hall
" " ‘Vallawalla " Vancouver,
Every man should be provided with a good e Mr, 6
lbs. of powder, and 12 lbs. of lead. The best size
burs for rifle is 40 to the pound. This size will easily
kill buffalo, but a smaller calibre would be better suited
to the game west of the Rocky Mountains. .(Englialt
agents and Hudson Bay agents 7)
Take provision for four months, and make liberal
calculations, since a prairie appetite differs much from
a civilized one. It would he well for several pe rsons,
as they can agree, to constitute a mess. Each mess
to be provided with a tent and cocking utensils.—
This arrangement will add much to comfort and con
venience. Mules are mach better to endure this trip
than horses, though a horse is very useful in running
buffalo. A horse to be used in hunting, must be kept
for that express purpose. If you drive loose cattle,
you need not carry so much salt provision, for you will
always have ow hand fresh meat. 1 have now answer
exi all your questions, though in rather desultory style.
In ill now in a laconic manner, speak of Oregon. In

A Scene.—That orderly and saber part of the city
known as Camp street, was thrown into estate of com
motion yesterday by the novel exhibition cf a:very
pretty girl giving a tolerably likely young man a taste of
her quality as a pugilist. As rho party passed our
office, the youthful Znntippe was belnburing him with
such portions of her apparel—to wit, bandirembief,
shawl, et cetera--as might be converted into a lash.—
The recipient of these tokens of affection illustrated
the idea of "tall walking" with great energy; but the
enraged damsel "followed in the footsteps!' close
enough to keep her "illustrious predecessor" within
range of her miscellaneous threshing mrchine. They
both appeared to be foreigners. After they passed
the Armory, the cavalier quickened his speed, as
though be had got to the ipturter-stretch. The last
that was - pen of them, the "grey mare" was hardep
on his quitters, and using the persuaders freely.
EN 0 Pie., Feb 1.
rgr As xxxsttexTiott is about being/nada of the
line of the great Central Railroad of Illinois, upon
which a large amount has been expended, with a view
to ascertain the cost of completing the road, and the
advantages to be expected therefrom; and should the
report prove satisfactory, an effort will be made for
constructing the road under a charter already granted
for the purpose. This road commences at Cairo, at
the confluence of the Ohio and Missimippi rivers, run
ning north through the centre of the State to the south
ern terminus of the Illinois and Michigan canal, and
from thence to Galena, connecting also with the lakes.
It is expected that by the completion of this railroad
through the centre of the State. and of the Illinois and
Michigan canal, Illinois a ill be able to pay her indebt
edness without excessive taxation. In Congress a bill
is reported, granting a pre-emption of some 1,200,000
a, tea of public land un the lino of this railroad to aid
in its construct iun.
The cotton market continues buoyant. Yesterday
there was a fair demand, which resulted in sales to the
extent of 4,500 bales at very firm prices. The stock
on sale appears tube light, as there is but little offer
ing.
The transactions in sugar trete to a fair extent, and
the market has a steady aspect; prices lunge from 3 to
fric. for inferior to strictly choice qualities. For moles
see there is a moderate inquiry at former prices, say
Niel*. fur oak, and 15' 15 gallon fur cy
press barrels.
There it nothing of consequence doing in the Flour
market; we notice sales of 500 bbls Ohio at $3 80 Jo
$3 83, which may be considered a fair quotation,—
St Louis Flour commands $4 25 to $4 50 for favo
cite brands. No change worth noticing has occurred
in the Provision market.
Exchange remains scarce and previous rates are ful
ly maintained. We quote Sterling 81 to 91 cent.
premium; Francs 5f.254 to .51.30. Now York 80 days
