the %Vo..tern World ars looked to with absorbing inter est, and the instant, a packet arrives, the news Is con nverni with all the potency and epeed which steam can commend, to the metropolium journals. In this way, we forwarded by special express.. and at a great outlay, the news which came to .band on the night of Tuesday by the "Caledonia." Tbe previous an the -G. eat Western—caused some stir, as it was known that .he • would bring tidings of the effect which had been pr"- . duced iu America LI the speeches of Sir Robert Peel and the FAIT of Aberdeen, in Pn:liatnent, on the Ore gun question. But as only a Jay or two had interve ned-between the teceiyt of those speeches and the re turn'Uf the steamer. which had not permitted public opinion to develope itself, the succeeding arrival pro dared, if passible, still greater interest. The pros tuul eons of the question, it is ,eedleas to say, ere daily discussed; and this is cert• idly not the first instance, of late, that the spirit ..1 American in stitutions has been analysed by British puns. The theory of the Federal Constitution has formed, of re cent years, a standing dish. with the politicians of England. The national chara.:ter and its peculiari ties—the public men and their waywardness—the democracy and -its elements—are all weighed with critical skill, sometimes with friendly, often with en adverse lined. Bur whatever diversity of opinion may exist amung.t. Englishmen as to the abstract met its of Rebablirani.m. a war with America—the hate con templation of such a tiossibilhy—is abhorrent to the national mind. A a. ar party. properly so railed, sa re gard the United States, do. • nut exist. There is noth ing ra mark he influence. 7he mooted point-the Or eaoh-wis not generally believed to be worth fighting fur. ''lf{s not n point which appeals to natinnnl pride. or prejudice, or power. Every ene feels that this little island has territory enough, and colonies. and subjects, which own its sway in every part of the inhabitable globe. that plume themselves on their identification with the British name, without measuring levees with • kindred people about a few thousand miles of a bar ren and profitless waste. No. The sentiment which has taken deep root in the public mind of this country —which pervades all classes. and FACts, and shades of opitlion, and unites them as one man. refers not to the value of the territory in question, hut to whet they conceive to be the arrogant, oserbearing, bullying style with which the oppotite claim is advanced. It is with a spirited people as with a spirited animal—if you drive, they resist, if you lead, they may concede. Mr Polk must be a crude judge of human nature, or he would not have put rot tit, in his inaugural address about the Oregon, sentiments which were not merely indiscreet—.—nut merely uncalled for and out of place, but Is itich sneered at, and tibia be said to have hurled defianceat the British claim. We say nothing now as to tbejsalies of the claim; all that we aim at is. to ar count fur the extraordinary unanimity which exists on this question—an unanimity so surprieit g, that if we do go to war about it, every hand will he held up. eve ry purse will be opened, every arm will he stretched, to sustain it, and bring it to a speedy and triumphant issue. There are men who would tamely submit to wrung that would instantly resent an insult. The country feel. itself inAulted by the new Presi dent. Is he note burgling tactician that thu. gives his opponent such an advantage—that places himself in the wrong by his meaner, while he is prrbably right in his rheor77 Human ingenuity could hardly hove de vised any maims soeffectual for amalgamating, as in a crucible, the discordant elements of which public opinion in every free couriry is composed. Like the wand of the enchanter, Mr Polk has done this, and if there is any truth in the saying of Napoleon, that motel force, even in war, far outstrips physical force, it will be found that his first will nut he his last blunder. Hasty men are generally obstinate men. The President has committed hi nsek—will the Republic sustain him? He has so precipitated matters that the question must now be settled. Ho has thrown down the gauntlet, and it has been taken up, he has jeopard ized the American claim. and flung to the winds the "wise and masterly inactivity" which Mr. Calhoun, with a far-seeing sagacity, recommended as the best policy for the United States to pursue. Back out he cannot without persunal compromise, fat lie lies shown his cards to his opponent, who wt.l work the game accordingly. It is well understood on this side of the water—it is still better known at 'Washington, that the British Cabinet having come in the conclusion that the pies- 1 slit is the time fee bringing this matter to an issue. To let it slip would prove them as arrant burglars as their antagonist• Diplomacy, like the chess-board, consists in a series of successful moves, and a skilful player can hardly be blamed fur check-mating his ri val. The affrir might have remained in abeyance another quarter of a centuty, as it has d.ine during the last half century, and every year would have io creased the means, on the putt of America, of a sac• ceseful resistance--decreased, in the same ratio, the power of Britian to sustain, er take forcible possession of, the Oregon. The tido of emigration. which is daily flossing to the West, would have peopled it in a few years with the Anglo-American race, who would have held their own against all intruders. These advantages have been cast to the winds; and nothing appears to remain but tnutuul concession, or the settlement of the question by the strongest arm.— Here, again, the evil genius of the President confronts him. The temple of Janes is clused—we are at peace with the world. Our Indian empire is consolidated— our colonies in China are progressing, The British Exchequer is full to repletion—its navy is in admit-a ble trim. Our steamers sweep every sea; our means of transporting troops, whether from Europe or from Asia, were never morecomplete—more per rect. There never was a period in the history of this country when it was better prepared for a ar—never did a question exist, not on its abstract merits, but because of its concomitant swagger, on which less diversity of opin ion prevails, and with heart Red soul would the dernier resort be entered upon and pursued. .We do not write in a partizan spirit. Nothing, heaven knows, should we regard as a greater national calamity than u rupture with the United States; and we should be cony to say or do anything which could in the temotest degree precipitate it. It is painful—har rowing—even to contemplate such a contingency.— The elements of society would be convulsed, com merce would be swept from the ocean, and the ties of interest, and even of coosanguinity, would be rudely snapped a,unpor. Upon England it would inflict all but irrepurnble injury, and America would hardly suffer less intensely. May so fearful a consummation be averted! 'ln this crisis is it not unnatural that public feeling in America should be watched with some nometv.— Thecornmemial classes can have no desire to fight Britain about the navigation of the Columbia. The Northern States are tilautified with the continuance of peace sad the progrets cf manufsctures. The South ern States would not like to sacrifice their trade in cot ton, tobacco and other produce, fur so illusory tin ob ject. The brawlers ;n the West may desire a tow, from nn inherent love of sport and of mi+chief, or a thirst for gain. But, ufter all, the matter will proba bly resolve itself into a contest for political suptern acy- If the President is obstinate, and will concede noth ing, the party which may feel bound in consistency to sustain him, and the voice of the more sober and dis creet portion of the Union w II probably he drowned in the avalanche. We sincerely hone. that discreet councils will prevail, and that both Governments, con ceding something for the sake of peace, may hying the matter to a timely and satisfactory adjustment.— But it is folly to blink the fact that the "black cloud in the West," to which Sir Robert Peel so portentously alluded, looks threatening, and may burst with devas• tatiniffury.

Tpirt" PHTI.T.TP 4 at WM. H. fIIKITH, 1:111Ta14l, PITTNIIURC4H. FRIDAY. JUNF. 6, 1845 Tilt WHIG TICIEET.—in taking up Assemblymen , the "old originals" of the whig, party seem to have had but a poor chance. As lute as 1833, Mr. T. J. Burnam "as acting with the Democratic party, but in t hst memorableyear the "scales fell from his eyes " he saw the whip were likely to have a majority inthis county, and he seceded from the Democratic party, along with soma oche: gentlemen, who thought they would rather shoot with the largest crowd. Mr H. M. BRACKENRIDGE was once a supporter and friend of Gen Jscaaorr, arid has gained some little notoriety by his behavior on the withdrawal of the Generel's friendship. It is said he has wrirten some letters on the subject of his defection from the General, but if he did, the pubic has most probably forgotten ell about them, for they did not amount to mueh. A Whig told us, on the day of the nomination, that he liked ull the Assembly ticket, pretty well, except Mr M'Cuitnv, and he was opposed to him, because he had "acted with the I..ocofocoa last year up to the month of June." If this be so, we have no doubt Mr M. wishes he bad stuck to us through the cam paign, and to tell the truth, he is the only man on that Assembly ticket we would care about having, and, we think the most valuable one of the four who com- 11Ir IIILA:CD& is the only unswerving and consistent whig upon the whole ticket, and we are not sore that kei , hss not made some slight deviations from the path of federalism. It will be admitted that the seceders from other parties have quite outgeneraled the "Old Hunkers" of whiggery in making this Assembly ticket. We do not know how many of the nominees for the re maining offices ot iginally belonged to the Democratic party, but will try to find out hereafter. We observe that the antimasortic division of the faction have done well. Messrs YOUNG. NI ADFIR A , ROSEEIr FLO, and IW DOWEL L, and perhaps M'CnitmicK, were all antima sons. The unties Laic the "liun's sl to re." THE OREGON QUESTION IN Esor.sitn--We pub lish, this morning, an article from Wilmer's European Times, which will give our readers; some idea of the sentiments now entertained by English poiticinns en the Oregon question. A little sober thinking on the subject has induced John Bull to moderate his swag gerinvlispo-iticur amazingly; and now, instead of pro claiming utter annihilation to the Union, if it would dare to think of claiming Oregon, it is of the opinion that the“barren territory" is not worth fighting about. We are infermed, on the same authority, that they never had any serious disposition to quarn..l on this topic, and it is probable that they would have admitted our right to Oregon if it had been claimed in a cour- Worts manner. But they feel offended at the tone of President Pull's Inaugural, and think that it was suf. ficiently insulting to make the Oregon question a suf. ficient pretext to talk about fighting. This complaint is something like what might be said made a thief, caught in the act of stealing, and who had to listen to the unpleasant commentaries that all hottest men would feel disposed to make upon his conduct. The English politicians appear to forget that Presi dent Polk was addressing American freemen; that it was the interest and the honor of his own country he felt bound to prrueet, and that but few of his fellow citizens expect that in thscharging his duties honestly, he is under any obligation to flatter the arrogance of a nation that is trying by the most dishonest means to get possession of tin irru orient portion of our territory. The Times is perfectly right in sapposing that Mr Polk will be sustained ly the party that put him in power; and more, it may rest assured that a large ma jority of all parties endure his language, and ate ready to support his sentiments whenever occasion may req lire. There may be—indeed we know there is, some of the old British s pirit existing among the leaders of the opposition, who wcnld like to see our country for ced to cringe to the impel ions will of our ancient enemy,hot they are few, and receive no encouragement from the great body of their party. Their anti•repub lican principles are shown in their impotent growling against our own government and their longing desire for the introduction of the aristocratic customs and policy of Great Britain in America. From the tune of the article which we copy, we have no doubt hut the English expect that in case of war, they would receive much encouragement from the party that opposed Mr Polk's election, and that men could still be found in our country who would deem it immoral to rejoice at the overthrow of our enemies. Yet they are mistaker.: the strong breath of public sentiment bas long since extinguished the light of the Hartford Cont,ention; and the universol spread of democratic principles has regenerated the public mind from the baleful teachings of the domestic trai tors of the last war. COUNCILS.- By the published proceedings of the Councils we observe that the Aqueduct Committee is authorised to piece the Collector of Tolls ut the Aque duct, to collect Tolls, &e. We have seen that same Collector at his post for some dnys; he appeared to be doing a fine business, too. A committee was appointed to confer %lilt Mr JAMKISOM, the Supervisor of the Westetn Division of the Canal, to ascertain what amount he will apply to the cleaning out and repairing of the Canal, from the Basin to the Monongahela River. The Commit tee is also required to ascertain what all the repairs will cost, and to report to the Councils. The Street Commissioner was directed to enforce the ordinance against auy person or persons who have thrown or may throw any thing into the Canal, la ithitt the city limits, which would tend to fill it up, or produce effensive or unhealthy exhalations. BUTLER COUNTY NOMINATIONS —fhe Democrats -of Butler Iteld a Convention on Monday last to nomi nate a County Ticket. All the townships were repre sented, and the proceedings were quite animated. JosErm Caoss, Esq., was re-nominnted for assembly, by acclamation; and JAMES M 'Ls coann was nomi nated forTcothonotary in like manner. Boacar NAIR was nominated for Sheriff, Jug. Mertairt for Cummissicrner, Wet. B•LPH for Register and Record er, SAMUEL MARQUIS for Treasury, ALIA. RAMSEY for Auditor, and GEO. CROSSIER for Coroner. The nominutioas are said to be very good, and the pros pects for the ticket were never better. rti3 , "ln St Louis they have the "Infant Sisters"— one 7 and the other 6 years old, giving dramatic. rep resentations. These "infant prodigies" are precocious humbugs, in the hat of which we could never see any more merit that could be in the turwardneas found of soy other spoiled child. Txg Rims? Fee D.—We understand that it is the intention of the Councils to distribute a portion of the relief Fund on Monday. In riewof Otis we deem the present so appropriate time to publish the following letter from the citizens of New York, which accompa nied their donation. The public will observe that this letter not only suggests the class of sufferecs for whom their donation is intended, but also the class to whom they can only offer `• sit:etre condolence." Surely the instruction• of the donors as to the manner in a hich the money they contributed was to he allotted, should command sone attention, and we hope the in junctions will not be forgotten or disregarded by the Councila. Ncw YoRK May Imt, 1845 DEAR Ste:—The subscribers have been appointed a committee to express to you the sympathy of the rit meths of New York id the recent calamity which has fallen upon their sister city of Pittsburgh. it has also been made their agreeable duty to trans mit the sum of Twenty Thonsand dollars, collected for the relief of your citizens, which amount you will re ceive, enclosed in a certificate of deposite in the bank of America, subject to your order. We find in the unsurpassed natural advantages of your city, and the energetic character of her citizens, a sure guaranuee of the recuperative principle which pr.-dominates throughout oor land. To your mer chants, owners of real estate, and extensive manufac turers, the benefuetions of our city would afford a very inadequate relief. We can therefore only offer them our sincere condolence for the heavy calamity which has befallen them; and a hearty "God speed" in their endeavor to restore "the Birmingham of America" to its wonted beauty and prosperity. Our own city pre sents an example not unworthy of imitation, in its speedy recovery from a similar misfortune. But the amount now remitted (which may probably be somewhat increased by further subscriptions) is in tended especially for the immediate relief of the more indigent and dependent oleos of your citizens. for laboring men and their families. thrown suddenly (hut temporarily we trust) out of employment; to furnish homes for the houseleos, and food and raiment for the hungry and the naked; for these ohj. eto, and to testify the friendly feelings of the citizens of New York for their brethren of Pittsburgh. with reliance upon yon, and the other authorities of the city for its judicious distribution, we tender our mite in the hour of your adversity. We are sir, With great respect, Your obedient servants, JANx• HARPER, PHILIP HONE, C.O. HAl.sTrn, GEORGE Neweot.n, Coils. W. LsweEncE, GEORGE G RISWuLD, To WILLIAM J. Dowser), Esq., Mayor of Pittsburgh. GRIE6f4 E CANT I .—The Democruts of Greene county have concluded to make their nominations, this year, on what is known as the "Crawford coun ty system." They meet in their severel townships, on Saturday the 7th of June. and vote dirrctly for a can didate for each office, as at the General Election. The votes are subsequently counted, and the person who has the greater number of votes for each office is de clared duly nominated. This is n most excellent system, end wherever a dopted will save a great deal of trouble, and remove all ground for chatges of unfair treatment in conven tions, Gum the disappointed. Some two years since, when a reform of the delegate system was seriously thought of in this county, we suggested this as the best substitute for the present mode of nominating, and the one most likely to elicit an honest expression of the preferences of the people. Nothing, however, has been done in it since, fur the reason, we suppose, that we have had no very important nominations to make, but we hope it may yet be adopted and become the permanent u.age of the party. Under the present system. much unfnirness can be practiced, and we would like to see it so reformed that there would be as little room fur "chiseling," as there is in our regu lar elections, rThe most exciting topic in New York at pres ent, is the progress of rivalry which has sprung up be. tween a couple of barbers in Broadway. "Chamber lin from Paris," and "Bellmere from Italy," are the rivals, and each appear to be backed by a strong parry of friends. The News evidently leans to the side of the Paris tonseter, and evinces a disposition to give credence to charges of the worst kind against the Itali an representative. The present constitution of New York reqrsires a property qualification of $250 to entitle colored men to the right of voting. Another revision of the Consti tmion will shortly take place, when it is supposed this feature will be stricken out, and the right of suffrage extended is all, or that it will beatenied entirely to the colored portion of the population—many papers think that the latter is the more probable alternative. REFORM Cortvatmos.—The citizens of Harfurd county, Md., have held a meeting and adopted reso lutions in favor of various amendments of the Consti tution, particularly with respect to the patronage of iho Governor, it bei"g their desire to fill the offims of the State by the votes of the people. A resolution was also adopted requesting the citizens of other coun• ties to hold meetings and appoint delegates to a con vention to be held in Baltimote on the first Wednesday in August, 1895. FOR THE POST THE WHIG CONVENTION. It is sail that the excuse now offered by the man agers in this body fur striking tiff the two antimaions, Muse and Riddle, and substituting M'Curdy and Brackenridge, is the allegation that the influence of the two latter is necessary to insure the extension of the Baltimore Rail Road to this city. This is very queer. Have the w higs forgotten that Henry M. Brackenridge many years ego wrote a most insulting letter to Louis M'Lane, who is now the master spirit in the management of that great work; and have they also forgotten that Mr Muse lives on the rout of that very rail road, that it passes nearly a mile through his farm, end that Daniel M'Curdy lives at or near Elizabeth and is interested in the prosperity of the Monongahela improvement, a rival work. New and Fearful Mode of Execulios.—lt pears from the journal of a European traveler, that a new and frightful mode of execution has recently been adopted by the Great Mogul. The instrument and the proiess are thus described: "A box, each side of which is fifteen feet squire, is constructed of solid timber, about eighteen inches thick, dovetailed together, and braced with iron rods. The outside of the bottom of tits box is coveted with a piste of beaten iron, one inch in thickness. The inte rior is filled with perfect cubes of granite, weighing in the aggregate, several thousands tons. A machine is erected after the manner of an ordinary pile driver, but of course on en enormous scale, and of tremen dous strength. The mass is raised by means of pow erful machinery. cast in Birmingham for the express purpose; though it is to he presumed that the machinist by whom the work was furnished, had no idea of the horrible put pose for which it was intended. The hu man victim is placed upon a block of granite, of a corresponding surface, buried in the earth immediate ly beneath the enormous mass, and likewise covered with a plate of iron. At a a signal by the vicronsa dock, the executioner touches a spring. The mass falls! and the victim, crushed at once. is suddenly aa• nihilated, and spread out like a sheet of pasteboard.- The huge weight being again raised, the Battened boti is withdrawn and dried in the sun. When complete ly prepared, it is hung up on the walk of a public building, there to serve as a warning to the multi tude!" Very terrible, if true. The American House burned—An entire Square in Rmuse—We Imre the *dui duty to perform. of recording one of the most destructive end devaating fires that has ever been witnessed itt Lafayette. The entire block of buildings on the north side of Main, be tween Ohio and Wabash streets, with the exceptions of those occupied by Webber's Book store, Otis & Cu'. Grocery. the Mammoth store, and Meeker & Co's. is in ashes. The fire originated about 12 o'clock at night in the Stables of the American House, the flames immediate ly extended to the Hotel, and from thence, spreading almost over the entire block. Throe was quite a num ber of horses in the Stables, six of which were busned to death! The principal sufferers by the calamity ere Mr. Catherwood of the American Howse; Dr. Holliday,Dmi Stole; J. B. Congle, Saddlery; Fry& Jackson Book and Job Printers; J. S. & A. Caead. Hatters; .1. Glinould Boot and Shoe Manufacturer. The entire loss is into imply estimated nt from 10 to $9.0,000. Insurance $2.000, on the furniture of the American Huuse.—Lafayeile [Lt.] Standard, Ext. SALICRNZ.-A writer in the Washington Union says, it is understood to be the design of the medical department of the army, to have this medicine tried on a large scale, at one or two of the most unhealthy mili tary posts on our south-western frontier, with the view of determining its precise value. Salicene, as its name imports, is obtained from the bark of the wil low. It is prepared in France, and appears in the form of a clear white powder. It possesses many of the properties of quinnie. and cases of extrearedebility is preferresl to it by many judicious physcians. ANOTHER SLATE STEALER CAUGHT.--AL Memphis, Tenn., a in age driver, named M'Oey, was arrested with two nag: o slaves in a buggy, who tie was carrying off to Ohio. Mechanical 7'aste.—We are often surprised thiit mechanics du not pay more attention to the art of de sign. Indeed, knowledge of every kind is valuable to them. Sir Richard Arkwright wad, we believe, a bar ber, but having turned his attention to machinery, and getting hold of a hint, invented the spinning jenny,and amassed a fortune. Wedgewood's pottery came first into notice in consequence of the elegant shapes and designs of his vases, cups, &c. A poor German me chanic rose to wealth in New York city, by being the first to introduce iron railings of beautiful patterns, in place of the plain, old fashioned straight rail pointed at top. There is a Yankee now making his fortune by a cheap process of map coloring, which a little chemi cal knowledge suggested to him. We know a man who has improved the ordinary machine for plaiting whip lashes and applied it to the making of stay-laces, so that be can manufa. lure these articles for a price infinitely below any ri,al. So, too, in common house buildine,the carpenter, in a newly settled district, who understands how to erect a graceful dwelling, will soon carry off the clumsy style. Who would not prefer it window screen prettily painted, to an old fashioned Chinese blind? Yet the one is not dearer than the other. Ina word taste and knowledge, when brought to bear on the mechanic nets, will always carry off the palm fiom stupidity and ignorance. Think of this, young mecbanicid—Nears Saturday Gazette.
