gig Mailn post. THOS. PHILLIPS St NM. H. SMITH, IDITORS. PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY MARCH 25, ISO PITTSBURGH We have rrceived, from a responsible steamboat source, the following note: We took up an order from Marietta, to Messrs C. *S s , for some freight. We delivered the order as es we arrived. On reading the order, the part ies there wilt be Pittsburgh boats in on Monday; wit ow ohip on them. I think, when Focal feelings become so strung, we should notice it in Cincinnati. Yours Respectfully, We believe there is some error about this. Loral prejudice, or angry competition, or strong personal in terest, would not allow the intelligent merchant any where dun to play the niggard to the cost of those who employ him. Nor is it in keeping with the mer cantile character of Pittsburgh. Our friends of Pitt/- butts will be able to assure ui, we hope, that there is an error about this matter, if not, if this conduct is practised, we shall give publicity to the names of eve ry merchant who does such wrong. Cincinnati Gazelle, Mardi 19. We are 'Brimmed that the "Messrs. C. & C." refer red to in the above tweet, is the respectable and well known firmer CHURCH &C A ROTH ERB ; and all our citimma who have any knowledge of them as business suisestonished that a man could be found con neciadiwith our river trade, capable of uttering such 11 &LSO and improbable charge-against them. The whole extract, we understand, is a bald falsehood, without the slightest shade of truth. Messrs. C. & C. did not express a preference for a Pittsburgh boat ; this ard er was promptly filled and shipped on board the Clagef, and—what makes the falsehood more in famous—the bill of lading was signed by the very per son who, it is said, communicated the above to the Cincinnati paper. The Cincinnati editors have been grossly imposed upon in this matter, and many think that their conduct evinces a spirit towards Pittsburgh but little more commendable than that which has been so uniformly displayed by the spiteful little town of Wheeling.— TheCincinnatians may rest assured that none of the business men of Pittsburgh are capable of such com petition, and none are less likely tc be guilty of it than the firm above referred to. NARROW Esc•P a. —We learn from one of the passengers that left Baltimore in the rail road cats for Cumberland, on Thursday last, that when the tram had proceeded as far as Sykesville, 32 miles this side of Baltimore, the locomotive was stopped to take in a supply of roster. In less than a minute a tremerdous explosion took place—which produced great alarm a mong the passengers—abort 150 in number, and on examination it was found that the boiler had burst in the bottom—threw the runners into the air, broke one into a thousand pieces—projected the chimney against u house at some dit , tance--vety seriously injuring the house, and the wheels of the other runner sunk it,to ground to the axle. The Engineer, John Smiih, was thrown against a stone wall, cut severely in the back of the heed, and badly scalded—espocially inthe face, eyes and arm. The (Supervisor, Mr White, was slightly scalded, and the fireman very narrowly esca ped. None of the passengers received the least inju ry. It was bitter cold at the time, and this added greatly to the pain of the sufferers. A medical Gen tleman in the can, and several other passengers exer ted themselves to the utmost in their behalf, but above ell, one lady, Mrs Caldwell, deserves especial com mendation fur ber active exertions on the occasion,she -exhibited a self possession and an active sympathy, that could not fail to-strike every bystander, as proof that she was an accomplished lady with a feeling heart. The traidwas detained 4i hours, and no other acci- ' dent occurred during the trip. THE RIGHT Op SEARCH. — WiImer & Smith's Eu ropean Times says: "The right of search—thin irrita ting surveillance of the high ileas, which has proved of late years en endless source of annoyance to A meri can shipping—is virtually at an end. The Commis sion which has been appointed on the part of the En glish and French Cabinets, to modify the evil, may throw dust in the eyes of the Exeter Hall saints, but it will assuredly deceive no one else. Fir all practical purposes the power is gone. Pablic opinion in France is so potent against the principle, that no ministry can withstand it, and some of the most clear headed of English statesmen think that not only does this ob noxious right of search constantly keep ua on the con fines of a collision with the United States, but so far from mitigating the horrors of the slave-trade, it has -actually increesei it. Lord Howick, whose talents ass deiater, and keenness as a politician. place him foremost amongst the master-spirits of the British Senate, his unequivocally given vent to his belief that the right of search might be abolished with advantage to the African and to England." la p" Tho Boston Chronicle is indulging in sarcasm upon what it calls the "everlasting self-laudatiun of our presidential literature" in general, and is partial. 'arty severe upon that "praise of our very great and &piens republic" which, it says, abounds in the Ad dress of President Pout. Perhaps it may be true, that our high official documents have too much of thi s quality, but then, that should not offend the Chroncle, because a precedent can be found for it in Addresses to her British Majesty, setting forth the "pr -eminent greatness and happiness of her people"—and her gra cious responses, wherein the "glory of her empire" is complacently dwelt upon. We say the Chronicle should not complain of any hat miles, custom which eon be referred to an English precedent, when all the movements of its party are modeled after the ideas and practices of retrain pretended philanthropists of Great Britain. De not the lordly oppressors of the masses of England meet at stated periods to denounce, slander and abuse 'a portion of the American people? And does not the Chronicle approve and re-echo their defamatory and hypocritical sentiments. Yet this same Chronicle is outraged because cur "presi dential literature" should seem to partake of a luali• ty dearly derived from the same source whence he draws many of his own views, and by whose exam ple he shapes many of his movements. Tat PORTLAND Vasa.—The Amiga news publish. tarlatan:lay, mmtioned the destruction, in the British Masetim, of this celebrated vase, by a person who avowed the act. This vase is a very valuable speci mserof ancient art; it was found about the middle of the sixteenth century,two and a balfmiles from Rome, on the Frascati Road, in a marble sarcophagus, with in a sepulchral chamber that seemed to be the tomb of Alexander Severus, the Roman Emperor, and of hie mother Julia Mammwa. The material of which the vase was formed was glass, though Moritfaucon Rated it to be made of a precious stone, so beautiful did it appear. The figures were executed in relief of a beautiful opaque white, the ground being of a dark transparent blue. The subject of these figures has never been clearly ascertained; bat the design and sculpture were both truly admirable. This most valu able:4k at antiquity *as deposited in 1310 in the British 011 swum by the Duke of Portland. Iu height ems about 10 inches, its broadest diameter, 6. Corn ELLIOT-T recently presented the sercophsgus PLIFI in which this vase war found, to the National Insti tute at Washington, tube by it devoted to the recep• tiun of the remains of Gms JscKsoc, when he shall have terminated his glorious earthly career. The Duke of Portland purchased'tEds vase for 10041 ct, eas, end deposited it in the British Museum. Itio person who broke it refused-to tell his nameg but said be bed been indulging in intemperance for someday*, and was so excited as not to be master of himself.— As the Duke of Portland declined to prosecute, he was merely fined £3 for breaking the glass case in which the vase was contained—this was sent to the police of fice in an anonymous note, and the vandal wasdischar ged. "The Government steamer, GEORGE M. 8188, was recently launched at Pittsburgh. This boat was to have been named John Tiler, but as the Captain's power is among "the things that were," it was deem ed advisable to change the name." We confess we cannot see the force of this para graph, although it has been widely copied, and was supposed to illustrate strongly the 'vanity of human wishes.' It is true Mr TYLER'S power is departed; but that of his Secretary, Mr BIEL did not outlive that of.his patron. We do not know the reason of changing the name of the al ip,—but certainly it could not have been a wish to flatter a mon it. power, by casting contumely on one who was going oar— when both TYLER and 8188 lost their power at the same time. W F H•VktMETER, has been nominated by the Dem ocrats fir Mayor of New York. Mr 11. received the nomination on the second ballot. The Morning News, speakingof the nomination says, that Mr Havemeyer w•as thereupon declared unanimously nominated.— The announcement to the crowd in waiting outside of the Hail, was received with groat enthusiasm and cheering. Every one was satistied,delighted, and went home with the comfortable assurance that both the Whigs and Natives were "dead beat" already before the fight had begun. FROM TExis.—By the arrival of the steam ship New York, Copt. Wright, the New Orleans Picayune received Galveston dates up to Saturday last, and ver bal news to March 11. We notice that several of the leading journals hold language opposed to annexation, or at least unfriendly to the measure. The Galveston Weekly News of the lst inst.. says: "We have already furnished incontestible evidence that Bluish policy has so far prevailed in Texas that Her Britannic Majesty's Charge has obtained a pledge from Ex-President Houston to use his utmost endea vors against annexation." The same parer hints a tie opposition of the present Admiristration in Texas to the measure. John M. Allen, Esq., has been elected Mayor of Galve.ton We glean nothing of importance from the papers. The news of the pass.ge of the Annexation resolu tions had not yet reached Texas when the New York left. HORRIBLE CIRCUBISTANC6.—The following from the New Orleans Bee of the 10th, would task our cre dulity to a considerable degree, were it not corrobora ted in its statements by other papers of the same date: "We learn by a gentleman who came passenger last evening, on the steamer Princess, from Baton [lunge, that the large male elephant of Messrs Hopkins & Ws menagerie, on Saturday morning, killed the per son who had been for some length of time employed to take charge of ir. It appears that the two elephants and a camel had been sent in advance of the otherani -fiats, en route for Clinton, the female elephant and the camel thained together. When about four miles from Baton Rouge, the male elephant refused to cross a t.mall bridge: the keeper, who was on foot, procur ed a hot se, (one which the elephant was not accus tomed to.) for the purpose of driving it over, and, in attempting to mount, the horse shayed and threw the man in the road. The elephant immediately rushed• upon him, caught him upon his tusks, and threw him forty or fifty feet in the air, which was repeated a great number of times, the tusks frerrently passing through his body. It then carried the body from the road to wards the woods, tossing it in the air at intervals, un til it fell between two fallen trees, which saved it from further violence. The infuriated animal then returned to the road, where the female elephant and camel had been chain ed CO a nee by another keeper, and rushed upon them. his tusks passing through the camel, knocking down the female and breaking the chain in two. The en raged animal then made off toward the woods. carry ing the camel by its trunk, and throwing it at inter vals in the air with its tusks. The other portion of the caravan n itv coming to the bridge, the elephant returned and made demonstrations of an attack upon it, when fire-arms were brought into requisition. A number of shots were fired upon it, but without any effect. Word was then sent to the 'United States garrison, and some thirty or furty of the soldiers were sent to despatch it with their muskets. The neighbors also hauled out with their rifles and shot-guns, and some fifty or sixty shots were fired into or rather upon him, for the balls were frequently flattened up upon striking and fell to the ground. At length it was determined upon to send to the garrison for field pieces to des patch him, when one of the keepers, procuring a spear , mounted a horse and succeeded in wounding the ele phant until he caused it to scream with pain and final ly to yield to subjection, when it was driven ofl with the balance of the animals. This is the same animal which killed one of its keepers, some two or three years aga, at Algiers, opposite this city, and was only stayed from further mischief after fourteen shots had been fired into it. The elephant spoken of is the same one that has been in this city on several occasions. Dreadful Homicide.—An affray took place on St. Patrick's day. at Hanover, Plymouth county, when [him Irismen were shot by a man named Seth Perry, the keeper of a liquor store. A party bad been drink ing there, and became noisy, when Perry refused to give them any more liquor, a disturbanne essued,when Perry took down three guns—aimed—fired, and shot one named Stapleton through the heart, who died in stantly. That discharge quickly followed by another, the bullet striking Patrick Stapleton, brother ofJatees, upon the breast bone, glancing into his side; be ran a bout two rode, and fell dead. A third shot was fired; the bullet struck an Irishman named Dowlan in tho face, demolished his jaw bone, and passed into the cheek. He subsequently diedof his wounds. Perry was arrested and committed for murder! Horrid Mulder.—As two men, whose names we have not learned, were conversing together, sitting on R log, in Jefferson county about 17 miles northeast of Brookville, one of them, a very large man, suddenly sprang to hia feet, seized a bludgeon, struck the other a mortal blow, and escaped, notwithstanding there were several spectators of the horrid scene. The wounded man died almost instantly. The cause of the act, and all other particulars are yet unknown. Ft)REST, Miss Cosnaian and HACKETT, are play ing to crowded and admiting boom in England.

Will you allow men of any persuasion to lay hold of their church and use it assn engine of political warfe re, making religion a scourge instead of a blessing to the human race? Let me ask your attention to the Catholics of our city. They were mainly born in Ireland and in Ger. many. They build their own churches, they gather a round their own altars, they collect their own scat tered members rather than seek to make proselytes from ours. Their pastors are earnestly and successful ly engaged in imbueing them with the principles of re- Ilion and morals. Why should Americans and Pro testants make war upon them? Why should we not live together as countrymen and fellow christians, in charity and peace? I trust we may do so. If not, the blame must rest on those who blend religious differ race with politics. When any body of men, in the name of the church, undertake to throw religious con troversy into the ballot box, I say they ought to be broken down by the judgement of the Americo peo ple. Messrs. Editors :—I observed, a few days since, a citculat published in several of our city papers, signed by a number of the "Manufacturers, Merchants, and Shippers of the city of Pittsburgh, in order to prevent the employment of a set of men known as Steamboat Runners." Were it not for the explicit declaration of the "Merchants," &c. we might be at a loss to conceive the ides that would induce a set of men, the !neje' ity of whom are men of wealth, men of high standing and great influence in society, to fetch their weight and in fluence to operate against the employment of a class of individuals equally meritorious with themselves, though not in possession of so many of the good things of this earth ; inasmuch as they live on the proceeds of their own labor, while the others live in affluence and ease on their money. W hat are the reasons given by these men for thus opposing the interests of anothet class of men ? It is as follows . Speaking of the runners, they say, "whose occupation wa conceive to be directly against OUR interests." Further on, they "pledge themselves to withhold all shipments and other patronage frotrany steamboat known to employ directly or indirectly said Steamboat Runners " Thus it is, when a set of monopolists think that the "occupations" of others run counter to TH x I a interests, they combine all their personal a* well as their pecunia ry influence to crush the individual who has the auda city to cross their path in the way of business. Nor are they satisfied with the persecution of him alone, but they wish to intimidate those who have been in the habit of employing runners, by pledging themselves to withhold all patronage from any vessel the com mander of which may violate their edict by employ ing any of the proscribed individuals. They virtually say that, "we have the business in our own hands, and we have the power and will exercise it, to put down any per•on whose "occupation" may in the least in terfere with our business." And it is tube lamented that, in most cases they (on account of their wealth) have the press on their side; and with this aid they generally succeed in putting down their object of malice. How different would it he, were it a set of journeymen mechanics who had come out to this manner in opposition to their tyranni cal employers, and pledge themselves to oppose them and to deprive them of patronage so far as within them lay, until they should come into certain stipula ted measures. Twenty four hours would nut have passed, before they would have been arrested on a chnrge of conspiracy, and lodged in ptisnn, should they fail to give heavy bail. But in this case, the poor man would be contending for his right, against the rich man; and that would be an offence for which be would have to suffer; in the other case, it is the rich man depriving the poor man of his rights, std for this be is applauded. It is to he hoped, the commanders of vessels will di:regard the action of the petty tyrants, and have in dependence enough to go on in their old way of doing business, and they will be supported by all good mem• bars of society. EQUALITY. Messrs. Phillips 4- Smith :—Our township elec tion on Friday, terminated in fig/orient Democratic Victory. Ever since our elections last fall, the vihigs and natives proclaimed boldly in our township and the whole adjacent country.that they had got the De mocrats beaten, and would beat them two to one at the spring election: so confident were they, it is said, one of their candidates for Justice cif the Peace, had purchased a bookcase and the necessary law beaks, to commence:discharging the duties of said office imme diately. When a Democrat asked a ahig what he thought of President Polk's Inaugural Address, the invariable answer was, that we have and will beat you, in Pine township. The Democrats for some time paid little attention to this boast and brag game of the Clay wLigs, until at last, they began to think as the whigs had done considerable wind work, it was time for them to begin to do she vother--whereupon, they resolved that they could not be beaten, and they would not be. The following is the result, which you see puts the coon fiat on his back in this township. JUSTICEL OF THL PUCE. Thome, Gibson, 157 James Sample, 121 Robert Wallace, 141 William Rogers, 121 JUDGE.

McAboy, Geo. W hitsell, SPEECH or DUDLEY &Minn.—A great moeting of the Whip of New York city was held on Tuesday e vening, which was addressed by the Hon. Dudley Sel den, the Whig candidate for Mayor, who was followed by Horace Greely and others. Mr Selden made the following statistical statement in reference to foreign immigration : Mr. S. passed to the alleged danger to our liber ties from excessive naturalization. Commencing with 1835, there arrived iu this port in eight years, 422,198 passengers. [From official data, Mr S. estimated the average of passenger■ arriving in the Union per annum at 70 0 967, including all travellers for pleasure or on business, estimated at one sixth leaving 58,639, as the average immigration to this country. Of these half are females, and of the males half are under 16, leav ing but 14,260 males over 16. Deduct for between the ages of 16 and 21, and but 10,995 adult males ar rive here annually.] But our Naturalization Laws re quire five years probation, which must reduce the num ber of those who annually become naturalized citizens to 9,424. But do all become naturalized who may?— No. The census of New York in 1835 showed a re turn of 80,000 aliens. The actual number of voters natuarlized per annum is probably 7,000. Now suppose the whole number of immigtants always voted on the right side.• Would there be any harm in it? Shou'd we regard naturalization with terror? I apprehend not. But unhappily three fourths of them vote on what we consider the wrong side. A heavy proportion—but our one fourth balances one fourth on the other side; this leaves one-half of the whole number to count against us, or a little over 3,000 per annum. But the increase of out American vote is 120,000 per annum; and how can our liberties be endangered by this fractional vote of 3,000 against us? But Ido not believe that this vote is aitossarily against us. And here I know I am'resiattn' g a com mon opinion. What is the fact in this Sixth Ward, where we now are, and the adjoining Fourteenth Ward? These are the strong foreign wards, inhabited in large proportion by Catholics of Irish birth. Yet how often have we carried the Fourteenth Ward? while the Sixth Ward has usually been against us by a small majority, until within a few years past.

The undersigned, passengers in the Pioneer and Express line, from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, on our arrival at Johnstown, finding that the Canal was froz en over and the slack waters blocked up with gorges of ice to the depth of several feet, were apprehensive that we would be detained for several days by these obstructions; but hapily we were soon relieved from this unpleasant position by the prompt, untiring and persevering exertions of D. Leech, Esq., and Capt. Truby of the Packet boat Kentucky, and Capt. Bur kye of the John Adams, by whose energetic and effi cient ezettions all obstructions were readily removed, and we were enabled to progress on our journey with but little delay. We therefore deem it but an act of justice to these worthy gentlemen, to give this public expression of our opinions, and therefore to tender them our grate ful acknowledgments for their successful efforts to carry us through.
