All agree I that President Polk and his Cabinet occupy the right grourld on this important subject, and none entertain thestightest doubt lint that the honor and rights of our country will' ire-zealously guarded it, settling the ex isting difficulty. Where such unanimity of feeling prevails on the great principle of national right, a little extra en, heisi - CUM on the part of individuals may be allowed, and particularly in a case such as the one under consider ation, where so many of the news are anxious to serve the country in some official capacity. We do not doubt the patriotism of any of the gentlemen, but we cannot resist the , reflection that if there were not a goodly number of offices in the neighborhood of Phil siettphie to be filled by the administration before ma ny more days expire, we would not see so much bit. terness exhibited by some individuals towards others, who, they fear, have st ole a march upon them by taking a prominent pert in favor of questions in which it is supposed the administration feel a deep interest.— Were it not for these rival office hunters we doubt if any difficulty would have occurred at the Philadelphia meeting. The people would not stoop to consider the little points of etiquette out of which they managed to pick a quarrel, not would any unworthy motivebe w. tributed to those who wished to give an honest expres sion of the people's confidence in the public servants whose duty it will be to manage this delicate and dif ficult controversy. The people at large, who regard the administration with feelings unswayed by any eel fish aspirations, should teach these disturbers of the harmony of the party, a lesson that may be useful to them for the future. The office itunters of both fac tions—the "Old Hunkers" and '•Young Democracy," should know how heartily the party detests such con duct a swasdisplayed at the Philadelphia meeting. and the quarterhow unlikely it is to advance their prospects of favor in which they desire to propitiate. MOBS REL IFF. —The people of Philadelphia are still making efforts for the relief of the sufferers by the fire in this city. On Monday evening n meeting of the Sons of Temperance was hold at the Chinese Museum to continue the collections, and a Concert was given at the same place, the proceeds of which were to be applied to the relief of our unfortunate com- munity. Tate liberality displayed by all our sister chips and LOOMS is.unparallelled, and should impress a deep and lasting feeling of gratitude upon the henrt of every Pittsburgher. Their kindness can never be forgot' en. 01110OniERT.—There is a beautiful row now among the coons at Columbus. It appears that the last Legislature passed an act authorising the Directer s of the Ohio Penitentiary to purchase a 10011 e qua,- ry Redhead a rail-road to it. This they have done by giving $15,000 fur a quarry half the time under wa ter, whan a number of better ones could be obtained fur half that sum. These $15,000 of the prople'-s money were given to a coon who had done but little for his party, and thereupon tho others have mounted the directors, charging them sAiib conniption, and extravagance of the worst kind. Let them fight it out, but what a pity that Me tax-payers have to pay fur all these coon corruptions. TB, MAGN6TIC TELEORIPPI.-X Washington let ter published In the New York Express says dolt a line of two telegraph wires is about to be constructed a cross New Jersey, between Philadelphia and New York. The enterprise is at the tisk and for the bene fit of the proprietors of the patent. The recent fail ure to procure funds in New York did not arise from an unwillirgness of capitalists to embark in tho enter prise. The means were of•red to construct a coin_ plate line from Washington to New York, but not on terms which the proprietors thought it their interest to accept. The latter were unwilling to accept any thing less than one-half the income of the line, while the cap italist offered them but one-sixth. Tbe Portland Bulletin describes what it calls a "Sea Pear," which may be found beneath the waves along the sea cost of Maine. Off Frenchman's Bay the fishermen frequently drag samples of it attached to their kellocks or anchors. It adheres by roots to the mud in deep water, has a vegetable stem about three foe in length, to which the animal portion, miticth in shape is like a pear, attache•. It is difficult - to determine exactly where the vegetable emerges into the animal, but it is by no means so difficult to per ceive thut the lower portion in reality is of a vegeta ble and the upper part of an animal nature. IThen handled the animal portion shrinks within itself mail it becomes as hard almost as stone. On dissection, organs of digestion, respiration. and the various other appurtenances of organized beings, are readily percei ved—and it is evidently susreptible of pain. .ri'The Constitution snys: We understand thnt the - Tresidont has appointed Dr. J.

BANK FAILURF. —WC find the following in the Det-oit Free Press, of the 3.lin relation to the failure of the Bniik of St. Clair.

Suspicion was excited the first of the week, by the intelligence that the drafts of Jesse Smith & Sons. on New York, had been pro tected; but frcmassortinces given by those connected with the Bank that all was right, out citizens did not run it to any extent. The information therefore. yes terday morning, that the Bank had made an assign ment, came upon them like a clap of thunder. The' burden will fall the heaviest upon the bill holder, as, we are informed, the depositors first, rind next the holders of its drafts, are preferred by the assignment.

A LARGE S rg•st BOAT.—The Montreal Times gives the following description of the steamboat Que bec, recently launched at that port, and destined to run on the St. Lawrence between the two cities: 'Her climenqions are as fullows, viz: Length of keel 271 feet; length nn deck 281 feet; length of beam 29 feet; do. over all 57 feet; depth of hold 9. feet.

Not being directly a sufferer by the late conflagra tion, 1 can not, in the views I am about to present, be charged with interested or sinister motives. An as dent desire, however, to promote the general welfare, induces me to wish that this communication may be carefully rend, and deliberately considered. If any weight or importance, therefore, could be given to it, by the addition of my name, I should gladly append it; hut being merely a private citizen, of limited influ ence. such a course on my part, would Le proof of egotism rather than sound discretion. In the distribution or appropriation of gratuities. strict reference shred , ' always he had to the clearly expressed or obrionslyimplied design o f !hr donors. Now how stands the ease in regard to the collections made and transmitted to us, since the fire? Most of the periodicals issued in the city, I read daily, and can confidently affirm, that I have not seen in any of them, a sinele document, either official or otherwise, that would justify the appropriation of the money and mer chumtlize sent us. in any way, other, than as exclusive and unconditional donations. Under these circumstan ces it seems strange, that a respectable city editor should al prove the loaning of the money. fur a term of years, to-the persons fur whose benefit it •as solely intended. and that after it shall have been returned to the city authorities, they apply it to the creation of a sinking fundsthe erection of a 11 ospit al for the Insane, or the itnprievernent sad decoration, it may he, of some public property. What, permit me to enquire, would lie thought of an ageat, who, having been instructed to apply certain funds in his possession to a specific object, would loan them out or use them himself, just as fancy or eaprice•might dictate! Or of an executor, who, having been appointed to carry out the provisions ot the list will and testament of a departed friend, would A' ithhold the property of the deceased from the [ lawful heirs, and give it totally a different direction 1 [ These examples given for the purpose of illustration, closely if not strikingly resemble the course suggested [to Councils, by the remarks of the Gazette. That Councils, if governed by the intimations alluded to. will greatly transcend their aut bority, and involve theme•lves in endless trouble, but few will hesitate to decide. flow any men or set of men, possessing common penetration, can think otherwise, is a myste ry not easily solved. I have thus attempted briefly to show what Councils ought nal to do, and shall now endeavor to point out what, in the present posture of affairs, clearly- appenrs to me t• be their duty. To divide the sufferers by the fire, into numerous Classes seems like a work of supeierogroion. Two classes, judiciously constituted, should include them all. The Ist class to he composed of, what may pro perly be called, the bone and sinew of the sufferers— the working men and women, and all others without real estate, who lost their clothing, furniture, and what little money they had on hand. These persons should be placed, so far as their loss es can he satisfactorily ascertained, in a position, re specting the goods ut this world, precisely similar to that, which they occupied before the fire. To this ar• rangement nineteen twentieths, perhaps, of our entire population, would unhesitatingly epee. It would, so far as I am ucquisinted with public sentiment, give gener al, if no, iiiii.er.ill satisfaction. Class No 2, Should comprise all who have lost !mu. ses, store goods, or investments iru the capital struck of [ monetary Itistitutions, which have teen rendered par tially or vs holly inoperative by the fire. Among the 1 members of this class, should be equally distributed, according to their respective losses ; whatever rash or I merchandise may be left, after supplying the other— that is, if the aggregate amount of the appropriated donations should he equal to one tenth the aggregate losses sustained by the members of the class, each in dividual of it will be entitled to receive ten per cent of of his entire loss. In this plan there is not hitg com plex. 'foe principles that compose it, are few in num ber, obviously just, and so .easily understood that a mere child in intellect may comprehend them. It can certainly be no just objection to the plan, that some very sensitive persons may refuse to receive the aid it offers or holds out. Such ledividuals deserve our sym pathy. They are entitled nut only to respect, but ad miration, and I know not whether their retiring na ture, and delicate sense of honor, can be too highly ap preciated. Every argument that ingenuity can devise, should he employed, to induce them to receive at least for the time being, what they are justly entitled to.— Who knows how soon in the dispensation of Provi dence, it may be in their power to reciprocate the kindness of their generous benefactors. As I feel indignant at any and every attempt to fas ten suspicion en my own motives, I hereby disclaim the slightest intention to impugn the motives of others. The members of Councils, individually and collective ly, are desirous, I doubt not, to puritre a strictly im partial course towards the unfortunate sufferers by the Late fire; and every person competeet to give advice should aid them, to the utmost extent of his power, in their present arduous work. To attach blame to indi viduals, who thus volunteer their services, is a-mourn ful exhibition of revolting depravity. Every member of community is bound, by the force of moral obliga tion, to do all the guard he can; and if he refuse, in seasons of general suffering and distress, to use the talents that God has given him, be is to all intents andprposes a traitor, not only to his fellow.e.reausres, but to u the glorious Author of his being.

FOR THE POST A word or to in relation to Annexation. It 14 now said that President Jones, unable longet to def-r it, is to call Corgress together on the 16th of June next, and it is said that not more than two or three of the members are opposed to the measure. The fart is that nine-tenths of the people in this and the adjoin ing counties—one Texan tells me that eleven-tenths— are in favor of immediate Annexation. The little op position that is seen, or rather heard, comes from eith er the office-holders or else ftom the large towns, and in the latter its foreign origin is easily enough distin guished. The President has been unwell fora week past, con fined to his house by a billions attack. He is now convalescing, however. The only members of the Cab inet now here are Mr Allen. the Attorney General, and Col Wm G Cooke, the Secretary of War and Marine. The latter, although said to be opposed to Annexation, is one of the best officers Texas has ever had—efficient in every way and closely attentive to the duties of his station. Gen Houston has net as yet openly expressed his vie.%a in relation to Annexation, although it is confi dently asserted that lie vi ill not oppose the measure.— He does not appear to be altogether in favor of the terms, thinking the resolutions do not concede as much to Texas as they should dot yet it is thought by those who know him best, that his feeling will not in duce him throw his immense influence in the scale of opposition. It is surmised by some, that before Congress comes to any definite action upon the question that now ex• cites the community, that propositions for the digestion of t h at body will be received from England, and per haps from France ss well. It is certainly very singu lar that the extraordinary philantlimphy of Great Britain ehould have broken out so suddenly in favor of Texas, and that it should now burn so fiercely. If that power cnn induce Mexico to ackrron ledge the in-, dependence of Texas now, she could have done it three years ago. What a pity she did not think of it sooner! IMajor Donelson, the U. S.
