PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1845
Nair Passinsnr.—The Curlit (Ohio) Republican,
wants to organize the whig party at once under the
bantser-of ',likes. Scott, for the next Presidential cam
palate. The IC Y. Tribane asks, 'what's the hurry'!"
anl thinks they might as well wait • little while. We
think so lace, for after a little calm consideration, they
Ina, arrive it the sensible conclusion that it will be
laiserleet for them to tally on any candidate. Besides,
If ever .the.whip contest another Presidential election,
Mr Clay s —if alive—must be their standard bearer.
In 1144, be was declared to be the "tallest Man in the
Ishii party," and decidedly the greatest in the corm
..
seg; z : . Intik Mr Clay lives, he is the whig candidate,
in seasop and out of season, and all other aspirants
will hem to wait until he is gathered to his fathers.
before they can have a reasonable chance of being vic
timised by the whig leaders.
Mr Clay's warm friends will not permit those who
follow the doctrine of "availability." to force any new
candidate on the party. Their favorite is used to de.
feat, and they ate used to being defeated with him. A
Dew man might break up this well established "us
age" of the party, and if he should be elected they
might him with kindness," in the way they did
poor General Harrison.
The new whip otgan in this city, which, if we ara
eorrectlyinfot ma& will shortly appear under the popu
lar management of an able editor, will, we have
undoubt, give a warm support to the claims of Mr.
Clay, and counteract the efforts of those who wish to
repudiate the "tallest man" for one of common alti
tude. The Gazette will also do its duty right manful
ly in defence of "that same old coon."
GINTLIIKLN:—Do me the favor to qualify if not
contradict your announcement made yesterday, to the
effect that "8.. M. Riddle, Esq. our postmaster, is
the pnrchaser of the 'Age,' " I hare authorized no
Duch statement, and it is act literally true. So long
as the President continues me in office I confine my
attootioHo to the duties of post master. If I have made
prospective arrangements for the contingency of my
dismissal, it does not follow that 1 have furnished
warrant for the remark that I have already looked be
yond my offeia' 1 avocations. Very reopect &c.
ROBT. M. RIDDLE.
Messrs Phillips & Smith,
Editors Morning Post.
We presume Mr RIDDLE observed the authority
012 which we made the remark. Our information as
to his having purchased the Age, was derived from n
paragraph in the American, and we mentioned it inci
dentally, while noticing the withdrawal of Mr MID
PLITom from that paper.
[The mail lettings which have just been conclu
ded by the Post Master General, was a very laborious
job. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says tha t
upwards of 11,000 bids were opened, in the peculiar
manner prescribed by law, their contents read and
endorsed on the outside of each. then re-examined and
recorded in books prepared fur the purpose; after
which each and every proposal. with all its accompany
log propositions, was examined, scrutinized and deci
ded by the Postmaster General and his indefatigable
first assistant, Major Hobble, in the space of 15 days!
This fact is alike creditable to the head ofthe Depart
ment, and the clerks who were associated with him.
Theresult of these decisions. however, is of infinitely
high importance! to the public, for Mr Johnson, by
his skilful discrimitation, has let the service out to
contract at an immense reduction in cost, as appears
from the following official announcement, made this!

rir Gen J B. Dawson, we regn.t to learn, has
reached his home i n Louisiana from Washington, "in
such .& precarious state of health, that lie he is bout ly
alternating between this world and the grave." So
says the St. Francisville Chronicle of the 26th ult.
Those who know and love Gen. Dsvrsun for the ma
tey excellent qualities of his heatt, will be pained to
hear this sad a ccoutt of the state of his health. Fie has
but one fault—the fault that has proved the ruiner thous
ands, who, like him, in every other respect, were wor
thy of the esteem of the country—and this we suppose
is the principal cause of dragging down to thegrav e one,
who, under other circumstances, might have been an
orna - noot to society and a benefactor to mankind.
TLXAS ANNEXED.—A few clays ego, says the Mo
bile Herald of the Ist inst., Judge Bragg, of the Cir
cuit Court now sitting, decided that Texas was a part
of the United States. The question came up by a
juror petitioning to be excused from the perform
ance of his assigned duty, on the plea that he was a
citizen of Texas. The Judge ordered him to take his
seat in the box with the other eleven, giving for his
reason that Texas was a part of the Union, and all her
citizens liable to be called upon to do duty as citizens
.of the United States.
'SOUTINLRIN COMVLATION.—It is proposed to hold a
- Southern Internal Improvement and Agricultural Con
-nattiaa et Memphis, Term., on the 4th of July next.—
The object Is to adopt measures for the advancement
of , the agricultural interest of the South, and the im
provement Of that section of the Union in the way of

Correspondence of the morning Poet.
Mclictiairre Horn., Phila., May 10, 1845.
Dear Sir:—The evidences of a renewed prosper
ity are to be seen on every hand in this benatifed city.
The Mercnntilecommuni y have just pesredthrough a
seascn of activity unprecedented since 1836,—Mann.
facturets are giving employment to additional bands,
and capitalists are busily engaged in building up un
occupied lots and in beautifying the Metropolis.
I am sure you will rejoice at this announcement, not
only as Pennsylvanians, but as citizens of Pittsburgh
whose neighbors and friends have received such sub:
stantial token of the sympathies existing here for their
recent calamity. It is pleasant to witness the interest
every one expresses for the rapid restoration of the
prcsperity of Pittsburgh, and the •"brotherly love,"
demonstrated by the generous donations from this
quarter, makes one feel more in love with his species.
It is hoped that a sufficient fund will be reserved
from the contributions, to meet the inevitable suffering
that will follow the opening of the ensuing winter, a
period that will force many to apply for relief, who
have heretofore shrunk from an application.
The late proprietor of the Merchants' Hotel, Noah
Bridges, Esq , a gent'eman known for his kindness
and courtesy, has retired from its management, and
Alexander Glass, Esq., has assumed his place.
Mr Glass is favorably known to all the frequenters
of this house, and possesses in a high degree all the
requisites for a popular Manager. His attention to
the comforts of his visiters, together with his kind-
ness of disposition, will secure a most comfortable
sojoutn to those who may venture to make him a
call.
At least, so fur, I have been delighted with my
quarters, and can commend both his "bed and hoard"
to nll who may desire good eating and sleeping.
The war fever has subsided and Sit Robert Peel's
blusuring has failed toestcite the most limed with any
apprehension of his disposition to strike. The "Na
tion," an Irish Journal, places the Oregon question
in in true light, and commends the manly course of
one Prefident. Yours, respectfully, Z.
rV'A Mn Stuart, an actress at Mobil , seems to
have valuable admirers. At her benefit, a abort time
since, she was presented with a substantial testimonial
of regard in the shape of a purse of gold, amo•mting
to rear $2OO, made up by a few of her oldest ascii:lint
ances among the yotinge men in that city.
Mrs Stuart is the same lady who was so popular
same years since in the Southwest, under the name of
Miss Voe. Mr Stuart. whom she married, was, we
believe, formerly n citizen of Pittsburgh, and a printer
by trade. Miss Vos performed for a few evenings in
this city. when the Theatre was under the manage.
ment of Weymss, and was much admired for her
spirited arid dashing style of acting.
F nom Sr. Dosstxoo —The Daniel Francis, at Bos
ton from Gonaives, April 20, reports that President
Guerrier died at St. Marks on the 15th, end was bit--
led with military honors. General Louis Pierrat, who
though 70 y...ars old, is vigorou , , was preclaimed pres
ident we the 17th, by the north, but would be opposed
by the south part of the island on account of his well
known preference for the blacks over the mixed breeds.
The ex-president Rivera, in trying to regain power,had
captured 16 boats that were sent out against him. Ile
lands whonever ho wishes at the south part of the is
land, and be and his party purpose, if they suce.,,eed to
put the ( - comity under the protection of the English,
and to give foreigners the right of doing business in
their own names, and to hold real estate.
The L , Plligflin. Convention, for the reform of the
Constitution of the State, have made a noble effort to
suppress the system of duelling that has obtained such
a feat ful popularity amongst the people of that nom
monwealth. It has inserted • section in the Consti
tution disqualifying any perann who shall have been
directly or indirectly engaged in a duel, from holding
any office of hinor or profit under the State govern
ment, and from exercising the elective franchise. The
moral' benefits which will result from this wise provis
ion are incalculable.
THE GKSIT RACE.—On last Tuesday the trial be
tween Fashion and Perona was decided on the Long
Island Course. As the day approached theexcitement
among the sporting men in the eastern cities appeared
to increase. and it was supposed that the race would
be attended by a much larger concourse of spectators
than has ever assembled on any similar occasion in
this country.
Fashion is the favorite and bets were taken on lwr
at considerable odds.
The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times says that
Fashion has start,ld 24 times and won 23 times—l 4
at 4 miles heats--winning in all $35,600.
Peytnna has started 5 time and won each tirue,
rcali.ing in all $92,400.
"Fashion is indeed a mirticle of horse-flesh! In a
fast four mile race, she has run • sixth mile in 1:47,
a hile in four ocher races she has run the first heats in
7:32i-7:3.5A-7:36-7:311.4! She Las been trained
for all he engagements by Mr Samuel Laird, of Colt's
Neck, N. J., and ridden by his son Joseph, the best
jockey at the North; she yet remains in their hands,
and is said to be as fast and fine ass 4 yr. old."
"Peytona is a comparatively sluggish mare, and is
awkward in slow work: when extended, however, her
action is "express and admirable." Iler stride is said
to be wenty-siren ft et when at the top of her rate
but of this we have our doubts, the stride of English
Eclipse and Flying Childers is represented to have
been but 26 feet, while the average of our fasten hor
ses, like Boston, Fashion, and Blue Dick, is short of
twenty-three feet.'
Peytona ran her three 4 mile heats, lit, in Oct 1844
in 8:33-8:52;2d, in Jan. 1844, in 7:45-7:48; and 3d
in Dec. 1844, in 8:09. Her 3 mile heats she did in
Jan. 1844. in 6:000-5:58, one in March 1844, in 6:50
—5:54 1-2.
In a day or two we will know the result of this most
exciting race that has taken place in the country since
the contest between Eclipse and Sir Charles.
TwEwTt•NINTR COPORES3.—The IN. Y. News, of
a late ,late. publishes an article showing what will
be the pusition of parties in the next Congress.
We extract the following paragraphs:
"Sixty-three members are yet to be elected—three
of them in consequence of the failure of three districts
in the New England Staten to make a choice; in one
by reason of democratic divisions, and in the other two
by reason of the Fcattetint votes of the abolitionists.
These aro all democratic districts.
"The other fifty-seven members comprise the entire
delegations from the States of Maryland, North Caro
Tina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and
Indiana. To the last Congress they sent 34 demo•
crats and 23 Whigs. We may lose one in Indiana,
and two in Kentucky; and probably gain three in Mary
land. Our majority in the next House will be from
SO to .56."
It is probable that the democrats will have a major
ity in the Senate. If so, the whigs will not have the
power to harass the administration by defeating the
wise measures which it may introduce foe the' benefit
of the people.
TONE OF THE BRITISH PRESS
The "Philadelphia Inquirer" remarks that the tens
of the press with regard to Oregon, Texas, and this
country, is fru violent than we had reason to expect,
conaitler_ingthe reliant declarations of Lord Aberdeen
land Sir Behert Peel. There are, however, exceptions
Ito this - remark. We give an article upon the subject
from the Dublin Freeman's Journal:
"The receding of England from the position she bad
taken about Texas is deeply significant, and history
may hereafter use ft to mark the point at which the
flood of her fortune began to ebb. America is no or
dinary power. Her greatest strength can be put
forth upon England's own ocean domain. A splatter
of's century ago, when England was supposed capable
of annilti!ating the tilde mutineer America by a sines
stroke of her fin—and the relative +dimensions of their
navies justified the supposition--the young nation
seized the knife between her teeth, dashed to meet her
enemy on her enemy'sown element, and many • vein
of the monster of the seas crimsoned the deep on
which they struggled.
America is better grown now! Her commercial na
vy covers every sea, and its qualities leaves rivalry far
behind. Great as have been her advances in popula
tion and in wealth, her progress in commerce has out
stridden even these. The maritime strength of na
tions is no longer measured by counting their ships of
war, but bysounding the depths of that source whence
the military marine is to be supplied—their commit.
cial navies. England is mightier at sett than France,
not because that for every 100 tons of Phillippe's
royal navy, Victoria's numbers 120—or whatever else
may be the proportion of the excess—bat because the
commerci LI tonnage of France, being 500,000 that of
England amounts to 3,000,000. By he same standard
the maritime strength of England and that of the Uni
ted Stets% may be compared, and they stand thus—
England has 3,ooo,ooo—America has already 2,000,-
000! This is the relative position not of countries
whore distance has long maintained n stationary pre
portion, but of countries, the second-placed of whom
is gaining upon the first by stride almost incredible.
Fifteen years. perhaps—twenty years certainly—will
reverse their position in the race.
"England will not go to war with America on ac
count of Texas, nor on account of Oregon; and scarce
ly on account of aay thing the New World contains.
"England will be especially cautions of going to
war with America, or dashing herself against the
compact constitution of her States, when she reflects
that America is a country with whom foreign nations
ate ambitious to become united, while she herself is
n country from whose merciless gripe kindred nations
struggle to he released.
"England! keep cool—don't go to war. Be content
to show your abhorrence of slavery by robbing your
people of two annual millions at home to put them in
to the r °diet. of the ex-slave drivers of the West In
dies. Do not exhibit your philanthropy by dashing
your brittle empire against the iron-clamped federation
of A merlon."
Thanks to the Freeman's Journal for the picture
which it draws of our real strength, and our increas
ing resources. Let us preserve our glorious Union;
augment our resources; strengthen our frontiers, both
on the sea-hoard and on the west; enlarge our steam
power on a Arnie somewhat Auitelble to the augmenta
tion of the maritime nations of Europe, and we may
defy a world in arms.
Great Britain had better pursue the advice of the
Scriptures—take the beam out of her own tile, be
fore she spies the mote in ours. Her illiberal press
is conotantly complaining of our progress. our terri
torial acquisitions, our alleged ambition. She forgets
that we but wish to re-acquire Texas, which was once
ours; and assert our just rights over Oregon. She
''remembers to forget," too, her own ambitious and
insatiable thirst for power—the commercial points she
has acquired—the territory she is constantly acquiring
in the east. In that quarter of the globe, her spirit
of aggrandizement is forever at work, and, year after
year, adding State after State, and kingdom after
kingdom, to the circle of her extensive dominions.—
She acquires A ffghanistan, Scinde, Punjaub, &c., &c.,
to her extended possessions; and, at the same time,
she affects to be horrified at the annexerinn of Texas
to the Uni!ed States. Weshall republish the portrait
which is drawn of her Carthagenian spirit of acquisi
i tion, by Mr Cushing; and. in the mean time, we re
i peat the striking view presence I by Mr Bowlio, of
Missouri. in his late speech in Congres.
By means of Gibialter, she commands the entrance
to the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and nothwest
ern Africa; by Malta and the lonian island*, the Arch
ipelago, Egypt, and • portion of the Tnrkish empire;
by St Helena, the South Atlantic; by the Cape of Good
Hope, thesouth and southeast :oast of Africa up to
the Red sea. Thus, in the words of Mr Buwlin, sur
rounding this whole continent, at every available point,
with her fortifications from Malta to Cniptown;" by the
Isle of France, the Indian ocean; and by Hindostan
and the island of Ceylon, the destiny of southern Asia
from Persia to China and the Indian ocean to the
Black sea; by her possessions in the bay of Bengal, the
empire of Burmah; and by Austrilia, she has a key to
the whole commerce of the Indies. Upon our own
coast, she surrounds us with a chain of military pos
sessions, extending from Novi Scotia to Bermuda, in
the latitude of Savannah and Trinidad. near the con
tinent of South America. To complete her power
over North America, she endeavored to obtain the
Sandwich Islands; and some century before, under
Drake, • foothold upon the possession of Spain, on
the shores of the Pacific.
But more anon.—Uniest.
LATE FROM HAYTI.
CurreApondence of the Philadelphia Exchange
Cape //dirties, April 22, 1845
Jolts C. MARTLN, Esq.
Ph iledelphia Exchange.
Dear Sir:—President Gurrier died at St Mare, on
the 15th invt.. and on the 18th Gen Louis Pierault,
was proclaimed heiress his successor in the Presiden
cy, the "Council of State," at Port au Prince, having
elected him President by a unanimous vote. Salute'
have consequently been fired, the too slightly init.
minced, and to-day, the rejoicings being finished, the
Haytien flags are at half-mast on account of the late
President's death.
President Pierault is the oldest of the surviving
Generals of Chistophe. He was connected with the
late King by marriage, his wife being sister to the Ex.
Queen. For the last year he bas been General of this
Department. He is a full black, over six feet high,
erect in figure, and ab• Jut serenty•two years old.—
' He still tides well, is often on horseback, and. for
hii age, is very active and vigorous. He has little of
no education, but is said to be gifted with considerable
natural shrewdness, and to be temperate in his habits,
—in the latter particular, having greatly the advan
age of his predeeessor.
A merchant of this place, named Praderes, enga
ged in the American trade, has been appointed by
Pierault to succeed him, as General, or Military Gov.-
elm:3r of the North.
The alarms arising from an expected invasion by
Hems, typears to have passed away. There is lit
tle doubt, however, that this panic served to precipi.
tate the choice upon Pierault, as it was well known
that the letter otherwise intended to urge his claims
with all the force at his command.
Coffee, 12&, and scarce.
Ce Haytien, il , 1845.
Everything has been Cape
quiet here since Apr 28
the departute
of the President, who has been proclaimed with re
joicings at Plnizance and other places on his march
towards the west. To day a State funeral is being per
formed in honor of Gurrier.
By a decree published here on the 24th, the milita
ry is declared to supercede all other authority; and as
the members of the "Council of State" are officers of
the army, holding their appointments only during the
President's will the Government of the French part of
Hayti may he considered as strictly military.
Respectfully yours.
Very Late from Bermuda.—W e have received
