PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1845
Tee Tugs.—iris truly cheering to witness the in•
dications of prosperity and the increase of business
that is manifest in every part of the country. Not
withstanding the predictions made by our whig friends
in 1844, that we would be a ruined people ifJames K.
Polk should be elected, prosperity seems to smile upon
the country in en especial manner, and the cheerful
Mrs of successful enterprise reach us from all quar
tets. Theprogress of events in our own vicinity, has
dispelled the unfavorable anticipations created by
gloomy croakers and political fanatics; and notwith
stending our late misfortune, the business tone of our
city was never more cheerful, nor the spirit of en
terprise more determined and full of hope.
The extension of old establishments, the springing up
ofnewones, and the eagerness with which capitalists
embark their funds in schemes of productive industry,
all show that confidence is fully restored, and that all
believe that with the restoration of the democratic
party to power, a better and a brighter era for our
country has commenced.
- There is scarcely a paper that we open that does
not make some recotd of the prosperity of the town or
city in which it is published, and we are gratified
to be able to say that these indications of better times,
we noted by none with more apparent pleasure, than
the whig journals that were wont to predict distress
and ruin to all the great interests of the country. if the
people should ever permit the Government to come
under the control of the democratic party. We will
make a few extracts from these journals to show our
readers bow different is the tone of our opponents now
to what it was before the late Presidential election.
The Baltimore American. a strong v. hig paper, says,
m a review of the money market and business gener
ally: "The spirit of improvement is abroad. Vacant
lots are filling, and new warehouses and dwellings
are fast reared in all parts of the city. But all ap
pear to be required by the wants of a growing com
munity. and the private capital of the builder enters
chiefly into the operations. The spring business is
understood to have been better amcng all the commer
cial interests than for some years past."
The Philadelphia Reporter gives the following pic
ture of the business prospects °fillet city:
"New buildings are starting up in every direction.
Two splendid four story stores have just been comple
ted in Fourth street, below Arch, and another one is
new in progress. Three new factories have been,
commenced in the neighborhood of Fairmount—two of
Quite large dimensions. The fa , tories at Glericester
Point are rapidly progressing; while the well known
works of Valley Forge, which have long been idle,
beve been lensed to a gentleman of activity and enter
prise, and will soon be in full operation as n cotton
manufactory. Philadelphia, it will thus be seen, ie
going ahead. for all these works are in. or immediate
ly connected with, our city. Indeed when we recol
lect our resources of coal and iron, our central posi
tion, and the facilities for travel and transportation en
joyed by us, the wonder is, that wry have done so little
in the way of enterprise and manufactures. The his
tory of the coal trade alone, is a modern wander This
trade has grown up within u few years, and is increas
ing every season. The advance of iron has given its
another impulse, nod as we have repeatedly observed,
good lawn, properly administered, are all we require!
to confirm and strengthen our prosperity."
There will be no longer room fur wonder; the
election of Mr Polk has settled the policy ofthe coun
try, and the people have now an assurance that the
confidence which has been created by that event, will
be sure to endure as long as the government is tnanag-,
ed by the sagacious and prudent men who are now at
the head of affrirs.
The Carlisle Herald, speaking of that town says:
"The indications presented this spring prove that
the business and pro:penty of our borough are steadily
if not rapidly advancing. We learn that a large Lum
ber of new dwelling houses are in contemplation dur
ing the ensuing summer, the building of which, .chile
it will infirm greater life and spirit into the various
channels of business, will beautify in ne small degree
the appearance of the town. 11in erection of the new
Court House, which will shortly be commenced, will
also largely contribute to this end. We may therefore
expect to find the coming season enlivened to a more
than ordinary degree with industry, enterprise and ac
tivity in every branch of our business in our borough."
The York Advocate, n whig paper, speaking of the
business prospects of neighboring towns, says,—We
may remark that our own York—little only when com
pared with the great commercial emporium, for under
no ether comparison are we willing to recognise the
term so freely, we might almost say ignorantly, used—
without making half as much noise as our no ighbors,
has been rapidly advancing in all that the former can
boast of, vastly improved in appearance, and become
the eenue of a large business in lumber, coal, grain,
die.
‘Tbe West Chester Record describes the evidences
Of •`better times" in that neighborhood, as follows:
"Our town is making a bold and decided spring.
'Notwithstanding the large number of buildings erect
ed last season, the present moment is witness to a gen
eral expansion on all sides. In every street may be
seen the evidences of improvements—the removal or
tearing down of old buildings—the digging of new
foundations, and the accumulation of brick, stone, and
other materials. Our brick makers have a pressing'
demand for brick, the lumber merchants enjoy an ac
tive trade, while our skilful and industrious as tificers
hardly know which way to turn, in order to meet the
wishes of their employe's, who as usual are in haste to
get up their buildines. One enterprising citizen has
nearly a dozen buildings in hand at the west end of
Chestnut street, which will add considerably to the
..population of thnt part of our town. Another is ar
ranging for rearing a fabric of stores on the corner of
High and Market, apposite the Record office, and
threatening by their magnificent proportion to eclipse
ft."
The Lancaster Union Pap , :
"Within the last year or too our city has as,ntnr-d
almost an entire new aspect, and the implove
meow for the future hid fair to espial the past. Al
ready this season, several dungeon looking shops have
been transposed into beautiful and convenient stores,
and • large number of new hOlJdOll have risen from
die ground or had their foundations laid.
"And what is much better than this improvement of
the physical condition of our city, business is increas
ing and extending—Old business firms are prospering,
said new ones multiplying. There is evidently a lar
ger business doing here now than for several years be
fore, judging from the multiplication of business stands
and the activity and bustle airsongst business men.—
It is natural that it should be so."
W. admit that it is quite "natural it should be so."
A democratic administration is once more in power; bon-
arable industry in respected; stock speculators ore not
do especial pets of the government, and in the nbsence
orgoaemmentstocks wherein to traffic, capitalists are
resssingtbeirattention to the ligitimate source of wealth
—Limiest labour
Our same and space will not permit us to extend
thaw extrac;s further to•day.but we will continuethem
hereafter and show that there signs of prosperity are
not local, but that they extend over the whole length
and breadth of our great and happy nation. ,
rirTbe police and thieves of Philadelphia have
had &quarrel, alai appear disposed to peach upon
mob other. If they do not make an "amicable ar.
rangsmant" of their difficulty. this public may expect
shortly to bear some. interesting disclosures.
I tr, - The friends of Irish Repeal in Boston, gave
Mr L. D. McGee, editor of the Pilot, a complimen-
tary supper, -previous to his return to Europe. It is
ipisken of as a very spirited affair, at which all who
were present Were much giatified.
Speaking of McGee, a writer in the Boston Pest
says, that he has only been in this country about three
years, during which period he has made himself well
acquainted with our institutions, and manners and
customs, and he will be able to give his countrymen at
home much valuable information, and especially to
guard them against the detestable impositions constant
ly practised upon them by the agents of emigrant
ships. Since the Philadelphia riots, last summer,
Mr McGee, as editor of the Pilot, has been much
engaged in controverNy, and none of his antagonists
ever dreamt that they were dealing with a person
not twenty years of age—literally a "Wexfoid boy."
It is not detracting from the merit of others to say,
that as a repeal orator, he stood in the first rank.
I_,,tir'The people of Switzerland will bo gratified
to learn that the "small but highly respectable" meet
ing of Natives that was hold at the Old Court House,
on Tue,day, are opposed to the conduct of the Jesuits
in that country. They adopted rho following resolu
tion:
ith. Resolved, That we view with indignation,
the attempt of the Jesuits to overrun and destroy the
liberties of Switzerland.
Their position is now clearly defined, and we may
indulge the hope that Switzerland is safe.
Bennett of the Herald, has been indicted for a
libel upon a Mr. Parmelee of Buffalo. A Bench war
rant has been issued to bring Bennett before the Cour-,
but as he sailed for Europe some weeks since, they will
have to wait a little while before they can catch Lim.
FIRE IN THE SWAMP.-It has been stated that the
large swamps in Beaufort, Tyrrell and Hyde, N. C. are
on fire, and that two whole families were burnt up in
Tyrrell. The Whig, printed at Washington, N. C. of
the Bth inst says: "The fires spoken of have been ra
ging for a week or two, and owing to the extreme dry
ness of the land, occasioned by the excessive drought,
have been extensive and furious. In the juniper
swamps in this County and in Tyrrell, much lumber
has been destroyed. In Hyde, the fire extended even
among the plantations, destroyed fences and houses,
and consuming the soil, in some places, to the der h
of several feet."
Among the great printing establishments ef the
city of New York is the Methodist Book Office. T t
continually works eight or ten presses propelled by
steam, and employs more than one hundrei and fifty
workmen. Over one hundred thousand dollars worth
of books are annually printed. A writer in the North
ern Christian Advocate, in speaking of the establish
ment, remarks: "It has but one pecuniary object,
which is to create revenues for those ministers who
have sunk down into broken health, under the weight
of al dth.us labors, and to make slight provision for
the widows nod orphans of those who have nobly fallen
with rice written on their shield•"
A man has undertaken to supply Jersey City with
Croton Water at a cent per pail. H e buys it of the
Croton Water Commissioner in New York for a trifle,
pays 2U cents for ferriage for his hot se and cart, and
cle:•rs about V,O cet.ts per trip.
r,"7" The New York Morning News states that the
4un•ties of the late defaulting street contractors are to
be held to a ..trirt accountability for the cost of the
removal of street nuisances existing throughout the
city on the mottling of the memorable 13th of May,
1843.

From Hayti—We are indebted to Capt. Bartlett,
of the schooner Fawn, from Jacmel, whence he sailed
on the 2241 of April, for a note of the state of affairs
when he left. The election of Piertot to the Presi
dency he think: not likely to insure tranquility, as it
waa the work of the Council of State excl./.,ively., and
the people at large had no part in it.
It was not known at Jacmel, when the Fawn left,
whether Piertot had arrived or not at Port Republi
can, from Cape Haytien, where he was stationed
when Guerrier died.
Ex-President Herard, after hovering about the coast
for 3, me days and making several atzempts to land,
succeeded at Inst in getting on shore at a small village
called Grand Gosier, near Jacmel, where he temain
ed when the Fawn left, his schooner being anchored
off the village. His idea was that the people of Jac
mel and of the neighboring country would flock to hla
standard; but forces were marching against him anJ
it was the opinion that he would be captured if he did
not save himself by a timely flight.
POST OFFICE BALANCES
We nre indebted to the Postmaster General for the
following report of the committee, which we hasten
to lay before the public. We understand that the .Ro.
man balance" has been adopted by the Postmaster
General, as recommended by the committee, with
which the larger offices in the United States will be
supplied: each one will cost $ 1 50. The smaller of
f ces will be supplied in some cheaper mode. The
terms of the contract are agreed upon, and will bo
completed on Monday.—Uaion.
WASHINGTON, May 15,1045.
Th.! , undersigned committee, to whom has been re
ferred, by the honorable Postmaster General, the mod
ell of letter balances, offered f tr. the contract under
his advertisement to supply 15.000 for the use of the
post otlices of the United Stutes, bare the honor to
report. that—
In the examination of tho 101 specimens submitted,
we are necessarily restricted to the consideration of
them ns "samples" of the instiuments to be furnished.
We find 32 "spring balances," some of which are
admirably constricted on that principle; but we con
sider them liable to these objections: Ist. The want of
, the requisite sensibility to a fractional weight over, or
I under, the half-ounce diYisions of weight. 2d. The
want of distinctness in the ready indication to the eye
of the variations of weight on the graduated scale, and
their consequent liability to error; end 3d, (in the most
of them) the great want of correctness from friction.
We find 2fi "bent-lean" (or pendulum) balances,
some of which are fine e hibitioiis of mechanical ge
nius. They are all of them liable to these objections:
Ist. Too great oscillation, or vibration, for ready use;
and 2d, whet e the attempt is made to remedy that ob
jection, it is at the expense of accuracy, and distinct
ness to the eye of the variations of weight.
We find 9 models of balances, with connected or
attached sceigitts,, of sixteen half ounces. They are
liable to these objections: Ist. The liability to error,
from friction, or the change of position of the weights,
in their use; and 2d, the want of sensibility for the
ready indication to the eye of fractional variatiors of
weight.
There are 5 models of balances which require the
ace of fiuids—mercury, apirits,and water—which we
find objectionable on occount of their want of sensi
tiveness and their liability to accident.
We ate of the opinion that the common balance,

A PREACHICR its TaousLt.—The operation of the
mock auction system was practically illustrated tecent
ly by a green clergyman, who Caine to the city of
New York, entrusted with the funds of some society
for the purpose of purchasing tracts, hooks, &c. Being
induced by a most imelerical desire for speculating in
gold broaches, finger-rings, and other fancy trumpery,
which he was assured were all puregold!) he went into
a mock auction store, where he was speedily relieved
of his funds, and loaded with a handkerchief full of
"glittering dross," which the nearest jeweller assured
him was not even worth preaching against. In a
state of mind nicely balanced between several of the
most disagreeable feelings of which clerical dignity is
susceptible, he sought the aid of an officer, who suc
ceeded in restoring his money, and furnishing him
with an excellent text' fur a sermon against covetous
ness.
Hospilality.—The island of St. Doming o retains
much of its primitive hospitality. Capt. Spencer of
the Admiral Co'pays, wrecked on that Island has re
turned with his crew to Bermuda, and in crossing the
island to St. Pierre Martinique, he particularly refers
to the hospitality shown to him and his crew by the
family of Tascher De Ln Pagerie. the family of Jose
phine, proprietorsof the fine plantation Petit Grenada.
Ft r nearly two months—the period of Captain Spen
cer's stay there—did this noble family continuo unre
'axed in their humane assidui..y and kindness to render
the strangers thrown among them in every respect com
fortable and happy. Such disinterested and evergreen
benevolence is worthy of the most ardent eu ogium.
Madame De La Tascher (Baroness) is connected by
consanguinity with the late Empress Josephine. The
Baron, her husband, is an old warrior. He was one
of Napoleon's officers at the great battl.. of Austerlitz.
The plantation of this fine family is represented as be
ing a charming place, and they enjoy that ease with
dignity whizh a home in the luxurious tropics is so
amply calculated to bestow.
