PITTSBURGH. FRIDAY. MAY 16, 1845
Democratic "Enin."
The rein consequent upon the election of James
„IC Polk has driven several capitalists to the necessity
of erecting a number of Iron Furnaces in Clarion. It
meet be painful-4u least to out whig friends, to wit
ness how many instances of this kind of ruin the elec
tion2f Mr Polk has ir.flictei on the country.
A fact which will be noticed by every °ham ver, is, that
these indications of increasing prosperity are solid. and
■re justified by the increasing demands throughout the
country. It is based on solid capital and honest labor,
and has a very different foundation (tom the prosperity
thattl4 wbigs wished to create by the establishment of
another national monster. Their basis was to have
been . bank paper, with which stock jobbers might spec
ulate on the industry of the people, end which would
tend to make the rich richer, while, by inflating the
pric:ektif an the necessaries of life, it would increase
the difficulties of the working men and make them
still more dependent on the capricious will of the
wealthy. But the democtatic doctrine is, that honest
fa is the eource of all wealth, and that it is to the in
dustry sad enterprise of the teal pruducers that the
country must look for solid prosperity, and not to the
stock-johhing cunning of speculators.
The disposition of the democratic patty to en
courage labour and to yield every blanch of its
duatry fair protection, not only from foreign com
petition, but to guard it from the baleful influence
of a worse enemy nt home—an inflated paper cur
rency—has given an energy to the producing pow
ers of the comet ty that is spreading prosperity and con
fidence from one end of the Union to the other. This
is the moral influence of the election of a democratic
President, on whose republican honesty the people
relies, and whose administration they expect will be
guided by the equalizing principles of pure democracy.
An the Banks that Congress could incorporate could
not do as mach to create confidence or revere pros
perity, ai the certainty that for the next tour years the
country will be under democratic management, and
the aseuraoce that the scheme of the whig leaders for
peewee' aggrandizement by the establishment of a pa
per money monster, can receive no encouragement
from the government daring that period.
Rvisnotto REIBICIPATIMI of JUDO'S SToRT.—The
Boston Punier the rumor his obtained some credit
in that vicinity, that "Mr Story, who has filled up
wards of thiny years, with no inconsiderable ability.
the highly honorable position of J udge of the Supreme
Coon ofthe United States, intends, for reasons best
known to himself, to resign, and retire to the dignified
ease, the claims to which he has earned by a long and
lataugiow devotion to the public welfare."
The Poet nominates the Hon. Levi Woodbury, as
the successor ofludge Story, should the letter resign.
AnoTitait Tanitiatit FigE.—On Saturday week
a most destructive fire broke out at Damarriscotta
Bridge Village, in Cumberland county, Me., which
destroyed nearly all of the business part of the place
on the east side of the river. About thirty two build
ings were burnt. The hiss of buildings and other
property exclusive of notes and other demands, is es
tittintilla at not far from $60,000; and there is incur
ants on buildings and other property at the Rocking
ham, Gorham, Monmouth, and Thomaston cffices for
about $lO,OOO.
Fitoar.w.Tbe Boston Journal of the lath inst ~Fays:
"Lest night again a hoar frost overspread this vicinity,
and if not duitg, injury, at least excited alarm. We
Owl, it wait the last appearance for the seasnn."—
Heavy frosts were experienced in the vicinity of Cleve
land,Ohio, from the Ist to the sth inst , doing much
;injury to all kinds of fruit that could be effected by
cold. Water froze an eighth of an loch thick at Utica,
New York, on Wednesday night.
A ficserrLlC33 Istrosirtom.—lL It stated in the
Boston Bunker Hill Aurora, that between four and five
hundred emigrants Cram Ireland lately landed in that
city, and their first inquiries were for the agents of the
City .Aqueduct, and the great Canada Railroad!
The reason of these inquiries id found in the fact that
large printed placards have been distributed over Ire
land, stating that there is en extraordinary demand for
laborers to carry on the above works, the City Aque
duct and the great Canada Ra ilroad!
I Mr Clays last letter was written to the New
York Clay Club. The Club had sent him a highly
complimentary address written on parchment and done
tip in a silver box, which Mr Clay was pleased to sig•
miry he regarded as an evidence of "generous coal
.dierice."
OREGON WHEAT.—There was left with us, says
the Frederick Herald. a few heads of 'Oregon' ‘N heat,
which was token from Bloomfield farm, belonging to
ddenry R Smeltzer, Esq., near Middletewn,Maryland.
.Said wheat was in Lead on the 28th of April. The
gentleman who left it stated that it was the natural
wheat of Oregon Territory, brought in by a mission
ary, and presented to Gen .J Hite, of PennsylNatiia; Le
stated that the natives told him that it had been grow
ing there spontaneously for a great many years.
FA x 37 WittcHr.—The Cincinnati Commercial of
the 12th, says, '.This eccentric and celebrated woman
knows as ;Panay Wright, has been in our city for some
days past. It has been stated that she was about vis
iting Europe to take posses-ion of , property there.
We understand that she has just returned from Dun
dee, Scotland, where slut has been residing some four
months on the property she became heir to, which is
only worth some 25 or $30,000. The story in a New
Yolk paper appears to have been incorrect. Fanny
has a house and a in in the city of Paris, France, of
considerable value. She has n house and let in this
city, near the bond of the canal, worth a fine sum of
money; the house cost het $2,500 ur $3,000. In ad
dition to this she owns 2000 acres of land near Mem
phis. aa some few lots in that place. We are inform
ed that.sfrw is about half determined on making this
city her final residence, and more than likely will again
take the pulpit in favor of her peculiar views of social
life."
Vntrar.rTl.—The duties of - this institu
tion haso s been resumed, an 3 under much more favor
able auspice* than its friends anticipated after the late
rebsdliori:—which, we horn, was much exaggerated in
the &et intemants of it. All the students whom the
Funky would CULISPOI to receive, have returned ; and
the best feeling prevailed among all connected with the
instionion. It is gratifying to know thatthe pmspects
of this venerable Institution have not been impaired
by dohs* proceedings. and it is equally gratifying to
knew skittle, firm and digoified stand taken by the
ratealw. aodsupperted b 3 the Visitors, has not Daly
feted the instil:Wei from the turbulent spiiits,who dis
embodies quiet, but bas left a moral effect which will
be most salutary in its influence.
j'At the Metter election in Pottsville lest
week, the DOTOCCII“ elected their whole ticket.
N. Y. Ptattet art.—This democratic paper, soably
conducted fur some years passed by LEVI D. SLAM*,
has been discontinued, and the hooks and subscsip
tiou list transferred to the Morning News. Although
we will much regret the absence of the Plebeian and
its able arguments in defence of democratic princi
ples, yet we are gratified to know that in the News,
the democracy of New York have stile powerful and
honest organ, and one well deserving their warmest
support.
COMMFRCE OF THF. NEw YORE CANALS.—Amount

MINISTF DEAD-7'he Black Tongne.—The
Rev B Westlake, of Peru district, and the Rev Mr
Buckingham. of Logansport district. Indiana, died
recently of err-ipeles or black tongue. It is also
said that the Rev R Hargrave died a few days since
in a lit. During a few mouths past the deaths of the
following ministers have ben recorded in Indiana, to
Cllppenger, Pr.tdick, Guthrie, Elder, Crouch,
Game Ballingall, Westlake, Buckingham, and Har.
pave, all belonging to the Methodist Church.
NEW BRUNSWICIC.—Some of Queen Victoria's
subjects in New Brunswick, have become rebellious
on net-emu of the Governor having appointed his sun
in-low Provincial Secretory. In consequence of this
gome of the Executive Councils resigned, after vainly
protesting. against the appointment. The Boston
Daily Advertiser has received New Brurswick pa
pers of the Gth, which assert that the appointment has
been disapproved by the home Government. and that
the Gwerrment has also refused to accept the resigna
tion of the Executive Councilors. The Governor,
Sir John Cnlebrooke, had summoned • the Council to
meet at Fiedericson on the Bth, and the resigned
members were notifit-r1 to attend with the others.
Rl-1011FIst.Atin LLGISLA7 ClRC.—This bodyadjourn
ed on Saturday nt half past twelve to meet at Provi
dence in Jone. The act of amnesty was referred to a
ccrrmittee, consisting of the Lieut. Governor, Weytle.n.
of North Providence, and Sn.ith, of Warren, by a vote
of 18 to 14. In the House, a resolution to appoint a
committee, to prepare a bill to provide for the
libera
tion of Mr. Dorr, was laid on the table by a vote of 39
to 28. An act was passed, liberating Bosworth and
Heath, on the condition of their taking the oath of al
legiance. They are now confined in the Bcistul jail.
EXCELLE:.T TRUTH "ROM THE OTHER SIDE OR
THE WsrErt.—Tbe Nonconformist, a weekly paper
of great ability, and extensive circulation, the organ
of the Dissenters, and radical in its politics, thus
speaks out a little of the feeling 'of the people of Eng
land on the Oregon question—kbe people, is r3istin
guished from the governing classes. Among other
points it touches on one which, in the smstspposable
event of war between us and England, would be of
decisive importance. The simple encampment .of an
American army of fifty or a hundred thousand men on
the southern bank of the St. Lawrence, with an invi
tation to the Ca nnd ia n people t o come into the Union,
would be the signal for the disappeatance of all Eng
lish dominion from the North American Continent—
what then would Oregon be worth fighting or even ne
gotiating about 7
The Oregon Territory—lmpoliry of War.— lt
is a matter of deep regret to see the language which
is held about the Oregon Territory, and the honor of
the nation as involved in maintaining our claim to it.
It is not lir our advantage, es a people, to obtain
dominion over it. We are insulated, and at too great
a distance to people and maintain it.
'rue people who settle it, must be independent; they
must become a nation that they may do good to the
wort 1.
An independent people only can brirg forth to the
world its resources and instrumentalities for good._
We should, if we had it, keep it as a colony, and check
its growth and onward course: all our colonies are
kept in that state—they are made subordinate that
patronage may supply to our nobility the vitality that
could otherwise strengthen and diffuse its We and
fruitfulnees in its own and fitting atmosphere. A col
on• to us, Re a people. is a sucker. nut a healthy sup
-1,1)-4 is a dependant, to be sustained from nor
strength. and quarreled about with our and its neigh
bors—a drain upon our national purse when young,
demanding an outlay for protection proportioned to its
distance. and its neighborhood to rival itatioT.S. It is
a mere warren for pat ronage when it glows in st reng
and, io the nature of things, as soon as it arrives at
maturity, lutists the swaddinr, inctimbrances of the
mother country, and requests she will be good enough
to mind her own affairs and leave it to itself. We
were unable, when we had t h e clmmand of the ocean,
and our population could be made mad for Church and
King, to continue ourselves masters of the American
colottisti; and now, as a nation, they will have all the
advantages in the next war, if our rulers are mad
enough to excite it. We shall have all the distuivan-
Loges of the revolutionary w ar, and many more, to bear
up against.
The American; have many advantnges which they
did not then possess—we, ninny disadvantages under
which we did not then labor. We shall have the same
dimance to convey troop,c and store;, and a better navy '
on their part to intercept and annoy them. We had
then a united, uniformed people, who were ignorant
of pulitii-al economy—a ho Deeded only a hireling,
like poor Diltelin and oilier', to write wilt like songs
about 'Bea BI ck and "Ben Hunting'," 'Jolly Sail
ors." and '•Gold adore" "Britons never shall be
slaves," &c.; but now our rulers have to do with a
thoughtful population, who, below the middle classes
nee not contented, and aho know that they are the
victims of gloty—that their lives are sacrificed lot that
which they take to be only misery in feathers and wor.
sted shoulder knots, recommended to them by the cat"
o'-ninetails. We had, in 1775, the power of subsi
dising German princess to tend us Hessians, and other
hireling blood-shedders. Those petty princes would
sell their serf" to the work of blood against a colony:
the Germans, Prug.ians, and Belgians will not do so
now agaiost a nation and a people with whom they
have commercial relations, and to *bona our folly will
open the opportunity ofextending them, and who will,
as our rivals, secretly encourage and assist them by
their commerce, if-they do not oppenly aid them. •
The world has been revolutionized since 1783; and
our repreAentntives talked, the other night, as though
they hnd forgotten, or wished to forget it ; but of what
use is their keeping it out of sight, unless the Ameri
cans were ignorant of it?
We have Ireland not well affected, and she is one
third of our physical force; but doubtless Sir Robert,
by mounting their priesthuodon our shoulders, giving
u both &abed and his mother to carry, thinks babas
quieted them, choked of O'Connell and satisfied the
English by requiring them to carry double, because be
has taken theduty off &Rol dud and allowed butter to
come in when it has been tarred and turned tootle*,
that the people may not eat it. We will not enter into
this hallucination, it would lead to teowide a depar
ture from our present point--tbe impolicy, not to say
wickedness, of war with America, for a territory
which we could not - menage if we had it.
We have • national debt six times the amount Of
that which our glorious rulers bad incurred for us be
fore the commencement of the AMerican rervoldtionat7
war, It was one hundred and twenty-eight pillions
in 1775—it is eight hundred millions now; and that
people have an organised government, are free' from
national debt, and only need snob a war to induce them
to submit to the taxation necessary to raise largely the
munitions of war; and, whatever danger they may be

Mr xico.—Replying to an article in the London
Times, arguing the necessity of 25.000 men for the
Conquest of Mexico, the Washington Union snys:
We ko hculd not want twenty five, or even twenty
thousand men, but ten thousand men would be suffi
cient; and such gallant and enterprising spirits as the
teeming valley of the Mississippi could send forth, in
less than three months, would be sufficient to oven un
the whole country. Volunteers would start up like
Cadmus',, men from the sowing of the dragoon's
teeth. Sound the bugle thruuglt the West and
Southwest— let the United States raise the standard
to-morrow, and in this proclaimed crusade to the
halls of Montezuma and the mines of Mexico, 20,000
volunteers would appear, and with the cry of "110,
West!" the speculations of the London Times would be
dissipated into thin air."
"BEAR" ON TEMPERISCE.—The "Buckeye Black
smith" is at Boston, and recently giving an account
of his own progress in temperance, he said: There,

[Corrempontlenee of the N. Y. Herald
Hamilton, (U. C.) May 4, 1845
A melancholy event took place - last week a few
miles west of this, namely, the double death of Col.
William Juhnstim Kerr, and Mn. Col. Kerr. The
funeral was one of great pomp and ceremony, being
attended by a numerous tribes of Indians in the
vicinity, the whole masonic body, (Col. Kerr being •
Knight Templer of that fraternity,) and half of Ham.
ilton. A short history of the deceased may sot be an
aeztrptabre.
Col Kerr was • iprandsrm of the celebrated Sir
William johnston, inherited moth of his courage and
intrepidity ; he served in the last Wu% and was made
prisoner by the Americans; when hostilities cataised,lsa
was elected to serve in the Provincial Parliament.
Mrs Kerr was a daughter of the renowned Brandt,
hate chief of the six nations. She was always accep
table company at government levees. and was withal,
acknowledged to be the most queeo-ltke and dignified
lidy on this continent.
In the course of the last war, a number of armed
men were discovered around her house. Her husband
being absent, she assembled her rervants,armed them,
and disposed them at different doors and windows.
The hostile movement was discovered, and the intrud
ers fled; nothing daunted, she seized a pair of holsters
and pistols, threw herself on her horse, and singly went
in pursuit. When afterwards questioned es to her
fear on the occasion. she exclaimed, "the daughter of
Brandt cannot fear." She was the grand daughter of
Sir William Johnston, consequently, her husband and
she were cousin•. Their son Walter, is now chief of
the six nations, his father being only regent daring the
son's minority, the title coming in a direct line from
Brandt through the mother.
The excitement at the double death xes great. The
Messrs. Ilnrrison,artists of acknowledged talent, were
sent for, and while lying in their coffins, thuir like
nesses were taken, It is computed, not less that 6,000
persons attended the funeral.
COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTH
A. the public mind of Great Britain is now in a
slate of the highest excitement in consequence of the
proposal of Sir Robert Peel to increase the endow
ments of Mayaooth College from nine thousand pounds
to twenty-Eve thousand pounds annually, we copy be
low an article from the N. Evening Pa.t, which
will give cur readers a more definite idea of its loca
tion and character. It is extracted (tom the London
Christian Examiner for April:
“ The College of Maynooth derives its name from
the town in which it is located. Maynooth is a small
town, about 11 miles distant from the Irish metropolis,
arid adjoining the magnificent seat of 'lreland's only
duke'—the Duke of Leinster. At this place, a house
for the intended college was purchased for the sum of
£4.0 lc2 10s, and 54 acres of land were granted by
the lute Duke of Leinster, on a lease of lives renewa
ble forever, at the annual rent of £74. Twenty acres
of lund were subsequently obtained from Mr Stoyte,
at an annual rent of £l4O.
The Rev Dr Hussey, formerly chaplain ton the Mar
del Campo, the Spanish ambassador, arid afterwards
tirrilar Bishop of Waterford, was appointed first pre
sident of the I nritution. Fifty students were admitted
in 1793; fifty more in 1800; in 1809 they amounted to
two bemired and fifty. trod at pt,esent the number ap
proaches to five hundred. The superiors, professors,
and all the students reside within the walls; and the
College buildings, wanting all architectural embel
lishments, form three sides of a quadrangle, contain.
ing a chapel, a refectory, a library, and various lec
ture rooms. The total cost of these erections is un .
derstood to have been £41.913 31. lid.
The annual grant from Parliament provides for the
support of the President, Vice President, deans, libra
rian, purses, professors, and about two hundred and
seventy students. .
The College of Maynooth is not now, and never has
been, a State Institution. Its establishment was not
the act of the civil power, it was the result entizely of
ecclesiastical action.
At the period of the Union there was no stipulation,
no covenant for the permanent endowment of this Col•
legs.
Charles As Bewail and lke Royal Satiety.—
When Charles the Second chartered the Royal Socie
ty, it is narrated of him that be was disposed to give
the philosophers a royal, bus at the same times whole
some ketute.—"Why is it my lords and gentlemen"
said he, "that if you fill r vessel up to the brim, so
that it will not bold another drop mote, yet putting
certain hied of fish into the water, it shall not over
flow the vessel" Many were. the wags conjectures:
that the fieh would drink sumach water as compensa
ted for his own hulk—that he condensed to that a
mount—that the air-bladder had something to du with
ibe pbenomenon—and a hundred others, which were
propounded and abandoned in their turn, numb to the
amusement of the '-merry monarch." *At length Mr.
Professor Wren (afterwards Sir Christopher) mpOstly
sekid;"iint is your Majesty rare that such would be
ilow-caser • "Aye, tbate.".: - eiteliimed his .Iliajesty
laughing, "you have it; always, gentlemen, AM out
whether the thing be true before you try to account
for it: then I shall not bo ashamed of the charter I have
just given yuu."—New Edinburgh Review.
New Game Laws of England, no proposed to be
amended by Mr. Bright, says the Boston Post:
Clause I. That every man shall be allowed if be
can, to shoot auy description of game out of the range
of gunshot; but the putting of salt on a bird's tail by
which to catch it, be nut lawful.
Chews li. That every justice of the peace before
whom a complaint of poaching is lodged, do take a
"bird's eve" view of the ease, and not "beat shout
the hush" in hiscapacity of judge, which is too °fist)
done.
Clause 111. That the poaching of eggs be not con
sidered an offence punishable under the game laws.
Clause IV. That no sportsman seeing a hare, shall
outrun it, but give the animal a fair chance of escape.
Clause V That the description of game common
ly called sky-larks be never indulged in by any member
of the House of Commons.
N. B.—Barndoot cocks and hens not to he included
in the bill, as it would be difficult to place these domes
tic birds on a footing with game cocks.
PITTSBURGH MARKET
RETORTED ►UR THE POST BY ISAAC FARRIS
Business, for the past week, has not been quite as
active nor as much doing in the selling departments as
before, especially in foreign and domestic goods, but in
Pittsburgh manufactures the case is different, and the
sales and orders continue brisk, and some transactions
heavy. Our stocks are large and good, and prices
low, but our rivers ate low, which is one cause why
our sales have not been so animated; but the business
on the Ohio and Monongahela continues brisk, and •
vast deal is daily doing on the canal. Woos has fal
len a little within a few days. It appears there is
quite a large stock in the east, and the present prices
are as high as our merchants can possibly pay, com
pared with the prices in New York and Baltimore,
where prices of woolen fabrics have been low, and
more especially the finer qualities of cloths. There
is, in consequence, a greeter decline en finer grades
of wool than coarse. Our present quotations, we have
reason to believe, are full as high as the prospect for the
new clip will justify. We call the attention of grow
ers to the necessity of cleaning their wool well before
bringing it to market. It should be carefully washed,
and all burrs and other such substances removed; the
difference in the price it will command will pay for
all the trouble. Care should also be taken in putting
it up neatly. No more twine should be used than is
absolutely necessary to keep the fleece close. These
hints are from a source which the wool-grower will
find it his interest to respect.
