tre - J THOS. PHILi.IP• & NN. H. !ACTH. ILDITORS PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1845, Virile pious gentleman of the Age is shocked at our coeduct in copying a notice of an infidel meeting In New York "without finding the least fault." We serm4sed to hear the native orgun condemning us for not finding fault a ith a portion of our citizens for bolding a public meeting. We thought it advocated the doctrine that every class of the community had a right to bold public meetings without being molested by those who entertain different opinions. If the Age does not repudiate the principles it has been advocat ing for the last twelve month, it should be the last to desire any set of men to bo denounced for holding a +abbe meeting to promulgate their opinions. fur tie tording to it that is a privilege that all should enjoy, end that they are justifiable in committing indiscrimi sastarmorder and arson, if they should be interrupted in its exercise. . We have no sympathy v. ith the religious—or irre. ligioas—opinions of the infidels, hut we have too high a sense of the privileges of American citizens to deny to them the rights that are guarantied to every other chief of the community. We believe in the axiom of Jeferson, that "error may be tolerated if reason is left free to combat it;" if the Age thinks otherwise it may denounce the infidels and deprive them of the privilege of bolding public meetings if he can. Perhaps it would approve the plan adopted by the natives in Philo isdpitia to put down Catholicism—burn their dwellings and places of meeting? The editor of the Gazette is trying to rids a quarrel with. the Mormon Church in this city. His denies the assertion made in the Mormon paper that, it was the prayers of the "Saints" that stopped the great fire en the 10th of April. Mr Rigdon will at tend to him. ElttoßATtosr.—A printed circular dsted October, 1844, shows that the number of individuals who,.ort the average of the last four years, annually migrate from Germany (chiefly to the United States) is aboas 80,000, and that they carry with them, at the Wear, a capital of five millions of Prussian dollars, or three minims and one-third United States currency. Ulan/ter shows that tbe emigrants from Bavaria alone, for the five years from 1835 to 1839, amounted to 24,- 500, with a capital of seven millions of florins, or three millions of dollars in the currency of the United States. Germans are admitted to be among the best of emigrants, rendered so by their patienr, sober, steady and econom ical 'The millions of money which these emigrants brine with them, is a small consideration when compnned with the immense advantages our country del ivrs from their skill and persevering industry. The labors of our adopted citizens, have done much to give our coun try the proud position she occupies among the notions of the earth; and no sincere friend to our national prosperity, would favor a policy that would deprive them of a home among freemen, and our country of the benefits of their patient industry. L Tlitt.—Twenty-eight persons in Cram ford coun ty have already signified their willingness to serve their fellow citizens in the various county offices, pro vided their fellow citizens will "show them a chance." Wit gee that our friend M'Farland, of the De - nocrat, ofers himself for the office of Prothonotary. He is a geetlaman in every respect, a sound democrat and would make an excellent officer. We hope the peo ple of Crawford will have the good sense to nominate him and elect him. VIRGINIA Et.rcrunt.—The Winchester Republi can has a report that Col. Camden is elected to 4 1 Ccogress in the Kanawha district. If this is true, it will give the whigs two of the fifteen members. In the Legislature there is still a democratic gain of nine. No less than four editors have been elected to this body. We are sorry to say, however, that they are all whigs. GOT. THotris Alto Da. TTLEFt.—We learn from the Frederick Herald that early in the past week, as Dr. Tyler was coming out of the barber's shop, he met Governor Thomas only' way into it. Supposing, either cot reedy or falsely, that the latter was about to snake an assault upon him, he raised his cone over the latter, when pet sons in the neighborhood interfered and separated them. On the charge of commencing the assault, the Doctor was arrested for trial before the magistrate court. nay Washington Union, alluding to the rumor that JIM President proposed sending Mr Van Buren on a •special mission to England says, "We have a brief an - awer to all this. Wo smderstand that the mission to London has been offered to Mr Pickens, of South Cat alina; and this is the•srst time we ever heard the high name of Mr -Van Buren asaociated with such an ap• pointment. We are satisfied that such a repott is unfounded, and that it can only tend to make improper impressions open the public mind."

Abont one hundred end twenty cler gymen of that denomination, from diffcrent parts of the State, assembled. Bishop Waugh, of Baltimore, presided.

A Nzw limas ?OR OUR CITY.—The Columbus (Ga.) Times in noticing the spirited efforts making by our citizens to rebuild the burnt district, says that we should change the name of our city to that of Phoenix. We do not think that this suggestion will be udnpted, as a majority of our people seem to have a liking for our old name.

On Wednesday lest, a negro belonging to Mr. Vella, stabbed Mr. Moran Simon neat), with a poignard. The latter bad been watching the negro for several cloys, when on Wednesday, be tween the hours 11 and 12 o'clock at night, he per ceived him attempt to cross the bayou.

All the different sections, as fur as Newark, will be completed by the let of June, As the enlargement is also going on between Jersey city and Newark, it will not be long after when boats of sixty tons burden will be enabled to pass the entire length of the Canal. Gorr RXOR or OREGON.—The Halifax Herald says: "We have it epee good authority that Sir George Simpson, a passenger in the Culedunia fur Boston, goes out as Governor of the Oregon Territory—lf so, the question of right and possession will be brought to a speedy issue. The Uoited States Gazette of yesterday, comment ing on the foreign news, seyst—"The present question is one of tenitnry, thousands of miles ft om the Uni ted States; of land in which we have no agreeable as sociations, in which there can be little connected to cre ate pf ide or attachment-" Indeed!—Let us see what this in which we have "no interest as a nation." Oregon is as large as the old thirteen States, having streams that flow into the Pacific Ocean, and navigable to a point not more than 400 miles west of the navigable waters of the United States, through which latter boats now pass to New York and N. Orleans. From N. York toChina, round the Cape of Good Hope, is 15.720 miles, performed by our sailing vessels in one I undred to one hundred and fitly days; via Columbia river, the distance is 9,- 200 miles, and with a railroad to the Pacific, and thence to China by steamers can be performed in thir ty days! Oregon will be the depot of that trade which, as in the case of all nations that have ever held it, brings with it the sovereignty of the world. The Asiatic trade has always followed the course of Empire. Tyre held it and was called "Queen of cities;" Jarusale.n possessed it in the time of Solomon; Alexandria, in the days of Its founder; Rome, in the times of the Republic and of the Empire; Constan-; tinople succeeded Rome and hell the trade until the 15th century; Venice and Genoa diverted a portion of it and rose rapidly to wealth and power; Borges and Antwerp also succeeded in diverting a shade; the Poe.; Inguese doubled the Cape. established a commercial Empire in India, and became the possessors of wealth: the Dutch soon followed, and by their superior skill in trade and greater frugality end industry, Holland gain ed the trade, Portugal declined to its original insignifi cance, and Amsterdam rose to be the great city of Eu rope; the English followed the Dutch, and after many conflicts wrested the trade from the hands of the say• ing Hollanders, Aided by the lights of science then bursting upon Europe, by an adroit command of talent wherever it could he found, England, "an Island in the Ocean," founded an Empire in Ir.dia hitherto un- I equalled. Wealth and influence followed. But her decadence has begun. The course of empire is now with Ler ancient colonies. And our Oregon, which we are told is of "no interest to us as a nation," when I settled, will be the •venne through which the nations of Dingle will, (if we are only true to ourselves,) re- I t ceive at our hands the produce of the Indies. An unevpectedly touching scene was presented to the Academy of Sciences very lately. The now in vention of Van Petersen was to be exhibited—an at. tificial arm, by which if the wearer has but a third of the shoulder remaining, ho can pick up a pin, lift a glass of wine to Isis lips, hold a newspaper, etc. A committee bad been appointed by the Academy to de cide on its meths, and an old soldier from the Hospi tal of Invalids, was the subject of the experiment.— He had been deprived of both arms at the shoulder, and when the substitutes were attached, he perform. ed rill that was set down by the inventor with the greatest ease—taking a glass of wine, etc. But balf i an bout of these restored functions bad moved the heart of the militaire. As the arms were detached, his i kreast heaved with emotion difficult to be sup pressed—"harder to bear," he murmured, "than the first loss, when he did not knew their value." The Academy sat a few moments in breathless silence, all present evidently affected. "Well!" exclaimed M. Argo, at last, "has no one anything to propose Are we to let this brave old man go back mutilated, when we can relieve him ? How much do they cost? "Five hundred francs, each," "Ah! it would be costly to refurnish all the maimed soldiers of the Hospital, but the others have not been reminded of their loss. We will subscribe the thou sand francs for this one." The proposition was received with acclamation, and the veteran walked away gesticulating with new arms. New Mirror. AN AROI7IIIIZIR T. -A "boosier" (of rather scanty means) visited New York lately, with introductory letters, for the purpose of purchasing a considerable amount of goods upon credit.

"Nothing particulal," was the reply, "only we don't much like this credit business." Lot I don't ask for way thirty days." "Vet* true, but you aught die you know!"

The systematic encroachments of the British goy ernmeist upon the territorial right, of other mime is a matterof universal notoriety. Scarcely a nation ex ists eitich has not at some time felt the insidious ad vances and grasping avarice of this natioe for acquir ing new territory. No sooner has that government fixed its eyes upon a territory or country which it finds desirable as an acquisition, than it sets up same vague, I indefinite pretence of claim to it, which it urges with all conceivable solemnity and perseverencesietint can extort an admission from its intended victim, that the territory thus claimed is in dispute. From that mo ment her success is certain. The tide being once ad mitted to be in dispute, negotiation follows, in the pro gress of which, by bold assumptions on her part, and unguarded admissions online part of her adversary, she succeeds in progress of time in presenting a formidable array of arguments in support of claims, which at the outset had not the slightest foundation on which to test. This was the process by which Maine was rob bed of her territory, and the process by which she now hopes to plant her power in Oregon. Our title to the Oregon territory is too well known to our readers to require that we should set it forth in detail. Suffice it to say, that from the year 1811 up to the time that the British broke up our settlement on the Colombia, during the last war, we were in open, peaceable, and quiet possession of the country, and that up to that time the British had never intimated to our government that they had the slightest pretence of a claim to the country. During the war an expedi tion was sent by the British against the American post at the mouth of the Columbia which succeeded in capturing it, and taking possession in the name of the British king. This possessiori was held by the Bri tish until after the close of the war. On the 18th of July. 1815, Mr Monroe, then Secretary of State, in formed Mr Baker, the British charge - de Affaires at Washington, of the intention of our government to resume possession of this post under the provisions of the first article of the treaty of Ghent, which stipu lates for the mutual restitution of the territories and p.,sts which each nation had wrested from the other daring the war, at the same time requesting a letter from Mr Baker to the commander of that post di recting'him to yield it up to the jurisdiction of the United States. To this note of Mr Munroe Mr Baker replied that he had no instructions from his government in relation to this matter, and referring him to Vice Admiral Dixon, in "whose command the Pacific ocean is includ ed," as being in "possession °fevery necessary inform ation in relation to this post." In this correspon dence, in which the restitution of the territory in ques tion is claimed as having belonged to us before the war, it is a singular fact that the British charge made no claim to the territory on the part of his government, but simply declined acting on the ground of the want of authority. This was in July. 1815. During the year 1817, our government sent the sloop of war Ontario, under the command of .1. B. Prevost, to the Columbia, to take possession of this post actor , ding to the provisions of the treaty of Ghent. On the 26th November, 1817, Charles Begot, the British Minister, then resident at Washington, in a note addressed to Mr. Adams, Secretary of State, expresses his regret that the Ontario should have been sent on its expedition without having notified the Brit ish government. In this note is presented, for the first time, a claim in behalf of that government to the ter ritory now unhappily in dispute And we wish our readers to mark the foundation on which the claim is based. He says that by reports made firm the Gov , error General of Canada to Mr. Baker, "it Appears that the post in question had not been captured during the late war, but that the Americans had retired from it, under an agreement made with the Northwest Com pany, who had purchased their effects and who bad ever since retained peaceable possession of the coast. As it thus appears that no claim for restitution of this post can be grounded on the treaty of Ghent, and as the territory was early taken possession of in his Majesty's name, and has since been considered its a part of his Majesty's dominions, I have to request that you will furnish me with explanations o the ob ject of the voyage of the Ontario," &c. Here, then, is the first claim of title which the Bri tish made upon our government to Oregon, and this claim admitted the title of the United States before the war, and is based by the British minister upon the fact that the post wa■ not captured during the war, but abandoned by the Americans, whose effects the Northwest company purchased! Thus testing the British claim entirely upon the fact of the abandon ment of tke post by the Americans, and the subsequent possession of the country by the British. Subsequent acts of the British government shevr how much ho nesty there was in this, their first claim to this terri tory. The Ontario procceeded on het voyage, and on the 6th of October the post at the mouth of the Columbia was formally surrendered by the British to the United States, as appears by the following acts of surrender and acknowledgment. "In obedience to the command of hie Royal Highness the Prince Regent, signified by a despatch from the Right Honorable Earl Bathurst, addressed to the partners of agents of the Northwest company, bear ing date 27th day of January, 1818, and in obedi ence to subsequent orders, dated on the 29th of July last, ft om Wm H Sheriff, Esq., captain of his Majesty's ship Andromache, we the undersigned do. in confor mity with the first article of the treaty of Ghent, re store to the eovernment of the United States, through its agent, J B Prevost, Esq., the settlement of Fort George, on the river Culumbia. "Given under our hands, in triplicate, at Fort George, un the Columbia river, this 6th of October, 1318. F HICKEY, Captain of his Majesty's ship, Blossom. JAMES KEITH, of the Northwest Company." "I do hereby acknowledge to have this day receiv ed, on behalf of the government of the United States, the possession of the settlement designated above, in conformity with the first article of the treaty of Ghent. "Given under my hand, in triplicate, at fort George, Columbia River, this 6th of October, 1818. J. B, PREVOST, Agent for the United States." Mr Prevost, in his despatch to the Secretary of State, dated October 11, 1818, in giving an account of this transaction, says: "The British flag was thereupon lowered, and that of the United States hoisted in its stead, where it now waves in token broth of possession and sovereignty." Thus much for the honesty of the first claim made to Oregon by Mr Bagot, on the ground that it had not been captured from the Americans, hut abandoned by them. The pretence was so palpably false, that even the British ministry had not sufficient effrontery to maintain it; but, by a solemn act of surrender, "in con formity with the first article of the treaty of Ghent," which provided only for the restitution of territory which one nation had captured from the other during the war, acknowledged our possession before the war, and their capture of the post. The inquiry will naturally arise, how it should hap pen that, after the British claim to the territory had been proved so palpably false by their own acts, and the "possession and sovereignty" of the country restored to the United States, the question of sover eignty or possession should afterwards have been drawn in to dispute? It was accomplished in this manner. The North west Company had on the Co lumbia a large amount of property, consisting of furs, peltries, goods of European manufacture, for the pur pose of supplying those in their employment and of trading with the natives. Being thus located, at a great distance from any British post, Mr. Keith, the agent of the company, requested that they might be permitted to remain, and carry on the business under the flag of the United States. To this request, Mr. Prevost answered that he had no authority to stipulate. but presumed that our government would not compel them to leave the country without giving sufficient notice to prevent loss. Thus they were permitted to remain in the territory, on mere sufferance, and with out even a pretence of right. In the mean time, the great value of the country became manifest to the British ministry, although our Secretary of state (Mr. Adams) looked upon it as so "minute a question" as unworthy to be refered to commissioners with the question of remuneration for a few miserable negroes which the British carried off during the was! _Accordingly, in 1821, we find the British Minis tiYAlCltio .intimating to Mr. Adams that they had claims to the - territory, but with characteristic diplo matic tact, refusing to disclose the nature or founda tion on which they were based. By pertinaciously Insisting on these new, undefined, and mysterious claim, our government which had not sagacity enough taperceive the value of the country, was subsequently Induced to enter into that moat suicidal arrangement for joint occupation, which has been continued for the lase twenty years, and under which the British govern. spent has beets able to magnify en occupancy, commen cing in noire inTrance in 1818 without eves a pre texceof right,into a formidable et.s. ix, the settlement of which now threatens the peace of two of the most powerful nations of Christendom! Such is the origin of the British claim to the Ore gon. Such is the result of the bold and shameless assumption of her diplomat", and the short-sighted end yielding policy of our own government. Had we done as the British would havedone in similar circum stances—driven them out of the country when it was restored to us under the treaty—all subsequent trouble could have been avoided. But out government, with unsuspecting confidence, permitted them to remain, and the result is now seen. Every year of delay has added strength to their claim, end emboldened their government in its unjust demands. Such will Conti*• ue to be the case. Yet, with these startling facts be fore us, there are not wanting those (among whom, we regret to say it, are to be found some professed Dem ocrats) who have so little American feeling as to re fuse to terminate this fatal joint occupancy, thus ena bling the British to fortify themselves under the claim of possession, in such a manner as to endanger the ul timate loss of this extensive, rich, and valuable tetri toty! How long the American people will tolerate such remisness on the part of their government, le mains to be seen. MORE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. OF PHARMACY. What is Pharmacy?
