in Bill vienr down
to the re, time of his dissolution. His bodily pain
was great, but it seemed to have no effect upon the
clearness or vigor of his mental nperations. His dy
ing hour was cheered with the bright assurance %
in him that in a few short moments he would be uni
ted in Heaven with his beloved wife, who had gone
before him. Amongst the last things he said, was,
that his sufferings, though great, were nothing in
comparison with those of his dying Saviour. through
whose death and sufferings he looked fur everlasiing
happiness. In this temper of mind he quietly and
calmly breathed his last at G o'clock, I'. M., on Sun
day, the Bth inst.

eminently contributed to raise Tennessee to the high

States; and whereas, it become. us as Tennesseenes

every period of its progress, his death marks an eta

Having filled a large space in the world's view, his
loss will be deeply felt, and his memory brightly cher
ished, throughout the Union; but in Tennessee, where
the glorious days of Iris youth were passed—from whose
borders he chased the savage—whose land he has en

IRGH, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1845
ie Gazotte treats the natives with the most
ontempt. It did not publish the proceed-
Convent ion, and we don't know that it even

Pa from vexation on account of the natives
the American for an official orgn . n; or per
liturs cunningly suppose that by not men-
hey will keep all knowledge of the native
In from the country whits. But in this we
fear they will be disappointed, for we understand that
the with es have taken the start of their whig brethren,
and already have held meetines in several of the town
ships, at which many Whigs attended who were de
lighted with a full developement of the illiberal princi
ples of the patty, and expressed their determination
to support the ticket of the new organization, because
it appear mire willing to carry out the blackcock
ade doctrines which the old leaders are too timid to
We thought for some time that the natives would
be unable to make any head against the whigs, but
we must confess that the aspect of affairs are undergo
ing a change, and they appear to be becoming more
troublesome to the old leaders every day. Whiggery
is already alarmed, and its organs do not know w hat
course to pursue towards the deserters. The natives
feel they have them in a "tight place," and they are
determined to profit by the silence which the whigs
are compelled by their fears to °beet ve on the subject.
While wbiggery is thinking of some plan to win them
back, the natives are busily working in the whig
strong-holds, and making the ground-work of what
they foolishly expect will be a powerful party, and
they vauntingly declare that in two years they will
have swallowed up the universal party, and that noth
ing will be left of whiggery in Allegheny county but a
teculli•ction of its name and its follies.
As the senior editor of the Gazette hos returned
from his travels in the west, we would commend this
matter to his serious attention. It is decidedly a
"crisis" in the whig party, and if an amicable ar
rangement cannot be made, it may terminate very fa
tally to his hopes. Contempt won't do any longer, and
as he has proved himself to be tolerably ski:ful in ne
gotiating part• ariangements, we would advise him to
have an interview with the natives and ascertain their
term,.
WESTERN see in the papers
some discussion about nn intended change in the lo_
cation of this Institution. Councils have taken no
tice of the subject, we believe, and resolutions, depre
rating a removal, have been adopted. We have not
had a word of conversation with any of the Trustees,
on the subject of the rebuilding the University, nor have
we heat d the reasons assigned for choosing a new lo
cation for the Institution. We cannot, however, dis
cover any objection to the proposed removal, nor see
why the Trustees should not, if they can, procure a
cheaper and u better site, out of the din and dust of
the city. It seem, to us that the old locution is not
the hest that could he chosen. There is not room
enough for the buildings and the grounds which
should belong to an Institution so extensive as the
‘Vestcrn University of Pennsylvania might and ought
to be. We cannot think the heart of a large and bu
sy town, densely built, and abounding in dust and
smoke, wish innumerable objects to divide the scho
lar's attention, is the best place to pursue collegiate
studies.
But apart from this, there may be other and weigh
tier reasons. It is known that the University met with
losses which well nigh prostrated it, at the late fire,
and perhnps the Trusters cannot off . .,rd to build on
the city lots wlt'cli belong to the inst;tution. The lots
belonging to it are valuable, and if sold, would go a
great way in buying a chenper site and in erecting the
requisite buildings. These considerations, very posi
sibly, influenced the Trustees in their contemplated
change of location, and all will admit that they are not
without force.
We should suppose that the Trustees would not lo
cate the University on the Allegheny side of the river,
if they can procure a good location on the I'ittsburgh
side. It would not seem entirely fair to remove the
Institution across the river if it can be avoided. But
if it becomes a question—shall the University be rebuilt
out of the city. or shall it not be rebuilt at all?—there
would be no doubt that the popular response would be
to build in Allegheny. Be this as it may, the trustees
deserve credit for their efforts to,rebuild the University,
and we hope to see them succeed in the shortest pos
sible time.
Since the above was in type, we received a commu
nication fiom "A Trtuam," setting forth the mo
tives which govern the Board of Trustees in their pro
ceedinga. We would refer our reaJers to this com
munication.
THE "Cntvtatyet. PARTT."—At the election in
Spring Garden District, Philadelphia, last week, the
whig candidates received hot four votes. It is pro
posed that a committee should be appointed to uscer
tain who these four whip are, and to make arrange.
merits to give them a public dinner for their patriotic
devotion to a u.ied tap party. Nativism has swallow
ed up whiggery in Spring Garden, but it has adopted
all the bail principles of the old party, and added
thereto new ones of its own, which are much worse
than any the Whigs have openly advocated since they
were forced to abandon tlto "alien and sedition law."
APPRoPRIATE.—At a native meeting that was to
have been held in I.luston, on the evening of the 17th,
it was supposed to have a grand display of Fire Works-
We have not learned whether they were to be the same
kind that the Philadelphia pyrotecknists used when
they organized the party. Fire liVorlis at a native
meeting are very proper and characteristic.
saoscioos.—The Wheeling Times admits that
General Jackson was a brave soldier, but says that ..he
had ztat the intellect for a statesman." This is the
opinion of the Wheeling editor, expressed at a very
appropriate time, and, of course, it is quite important.
[The citizens of Wheeling held a meeting on
the evening of the 13th to make arrangements for,
holding a Rail Road Convention at Fairmount, in
Marion county, on the 7th of July.
Escsre or PRISONERA.—About 10 o'clock on
Tuesday evening, Jous FULTON and NEAL Uses
escaped from the Jail of this county. Fut.roN wits
triea end convicted 'of burgle'' , on Monday, but was
not sentenced. :Sem' was confined on a charge of
larceny, we believe:'
They escaped trona - Vt. - rotes-cell by removing the
iron-casing from the window, which, it seems, was
but very insecurely fastened. A short time since, a
large pipe passing along through all the cells had
been removed, and a smaller one substituted; but the
space left in the partitions by the insertion of the
I smail pipe haul nut been filled up. By pulling out a
few bricks, Shaw, whose cell was next to Fulton's,
got into Fulton's cell, and another prisoner, (Craig)
came in from the other side by the same avenue.—
They then made a ladder out of the bedstead, got up
to the window, removed the casing, and crept out.—
They let themselves down from the window by strips
made of their blankets, and were assisted over the
wall by persons on the outside.
Fulton and Neal got out and made their escape, but
Craig had his labor for nothing. He was too large to
get through the window, so he crept "cock agen" into
his cell, and gave the alarm. Every effort was made
to arrest t hem, but they have not yet been taken. The
fastenings of the windows are no barrier against a da
ring jail•breaker, and like every thing else about the
jail, are miserably constructed.
It is said that Fulton escaped frcm the jail through
the Shea iff 's Office about three years ago.
A STRANG!: OPER•TION.—A New York paper
says that a curious operation has lately been success
fully performed in Barclay street, below the American
hotel. A two story house has been screwed up, and
two lower stories, as it were, let into it; and it now
has become a handsome four story brick house. No
straining of any part was experienced in conducting
the plan.
MINISTER To ENOLAND.—There wax a rumor afloat
in Baltimore on Saturday, and we learn in Washington
also, to tho efroct that theflon. Louis McLane, the
present President of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Compnny, has been offered the special minion
to England in relation to the Oregon question.
Liar.am.m.—A youth In Zanesville, Ohio, saved
the courthouse from destruction recently at the risk of
his life. The commissioners of the county presented
him with a silver medal, valued at and voted him
a present of firs dollars in money.
UFA late arrival flora Havana, brings the intelli
gence that four men, belonging to the expedition of the
unfortunate Sentmnnat, baying been set •t liberty, on
the 13th May, arrived a: Havana, and took passage for
New Orleans on the Ist inst.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—The village of Ithaca, N.
Y., has again been the scene of a destructive fire, the
wet kof an incendiary. It took place early on Tues
day morning, and extended over nearly all the square
bordered by Cayuga, Oswego, Geneva and Green sts.
Twelve buildings burned, besides barns and other out
buildings in the centre of the square, Loss about sl`2"
350—insured about $5,750 in the N. Y. Contribution
shi p, Etna, Hartford and Saratoga Companies. Three
poisons have been arrested and are in jail. The Trus
tees offer $5OO reward fur the discovery of the in
cend iat le,.
TWO Toss or STRAWUERR/Es.—Cincinnati is the
city for Strawberries. Upwards of 4000 quarts are
sold there daily. A note in the Chronicle from Mr
Cist says:—l examined the strawberry stands at Low
er Market street last Saturday, and found one hun
dred and sixteen cases, averaging thirty-five boxes of
on^ quart each to the case, being a total of four thous
and and sixty quarts. The quantity offered at Canal
Market, and at various stands through the city, would
easily increase the aggregate to five thousand quarts.
Those are sold at present from 5 to 6 cents per quart,
according to quality, the price of the article averaging
8 cents throughout the entire period of sale. A four
horse wagon drove up on Friday last to Fifth street
with two tons of strawberries! Most of this deli
cious fruit is cultivated in adjacent Kentucky ; where
patches of five to ten acres are frequent. There are
about twenty-five days of full sale of strawberries in
that market. At four thousand quarts per day this
gives one hundred thousand quarts of strawberries
sold inane season. They average 8 cents per quart,
which makes eight thousand dollars paid in a little
more than three weeks for strawberries.
lOWA.—The Council of lowa passed a bill on the
21st of May (11 to 1) providing that the State Consti
tution, recently rejected, should be submitted a second
time to the people. It was to have been acted upon
in the House of Representativee on the 29th ult. We
predict that on a second trial the people will reverse
their former decision and adopt the Constitution which
they recently rejected. Such a result would be ex
tremely gratifying to their democratic brethren through
out the union, who desire to see this prosperous young
State take her proper position in the confederacy.
ACCCPr•BCE or BISHOP POTTZR.—The following
is the letter of the Rev. Dr. Potter, accepting the office
of Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Penn
sylvania:
"Union College. June 3, 1345.
To Rev. IL .1. Morton, D. D.; Rev. T. M. Clark; T
Robins, Esn.; Dr. T. L. Atlee:
Gentlemen: I received several asp, since, through
your kindness, the official notice of my election to the
office of Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
Pennsylvania.
I want words to express my grateful sense of this
undeserved and distinguished mark of public confi
dence, and to each of you I owe my sincere thanks for
the kind and cordial manner in which you were pleased
to urge my acquiescence. I have given to the subject
that anxious consideration which it so eminently
merits, and I have concluded, though nut without
many misgivings, to accept the appointment. Besides
conflicting notions of a sacred nature and a strong re
luctance to leave scones and employments endeared to
me by many ties, I have had to encounter the painful
conscientiousness that I shall be likely to prove un
equal to the faithful responsibilities of such a charge.
Accustomed to a life of retirement and of compara
tive exemption from care, I cannot but contemplate
with deep solicitude theprospect of the arduous public
labors to which you have called me,
But I commit myself to God and the support of his
grace; and is my earnest prayer that I may not prove
entirely unworthy of the generous confidence of your
Diocese, nor forget, under any circumstances, the
meekness, diligence, and zeal whichbiecomes a Bishop
in the Church of God.
fatu with great regard, yours faittrfully,
ALottZu PuTTER:
OCTit is estimated that upwards of a thousand new
buildings, stores, &c., will be erected in New York da
ring the present year.

J. M. White, M. D., Dentist, in which he vehemently
attacks a new "Mineral Paste," for filling teeth, which
he calls "a base amalgam of Silver and Mercury." I
should like to know something more about a matter
that is interesting to every one requiring the services
of a Dentist—and as I am told some of emir Dentists
are using this "base amalgam" in their practice, I
should like to know how they can defend themselves
against the imputation do freely put forth by Mr White
by all who use it, of '•unprincipled empiricism."
[We know but little about the matter alluded to by
our correspondent, having had much more trouble to
keep our teeth in employment than to keep them in
order. We believe, however, that Dr WA RD has put
some of the "base amalgam" into our grinders, and
lie thought it answered a good purpose. Perhaps he
may be able to give our correspondent the information
he desires. No doubt, if Dr W. uses the prepan,tion,
he can give satisfactory reasons for doing so.]
MESSRS. EDITORS:—In the 'Chronicle' of the 17th
i inst., I observed with much surprise, a certain pream
ble and resolutions of the City councils, in relation to
a measure now under consideration by the board of
Trustees of the Western University, viz: the selection
of a suitable site on which to re-erect the University!
buildings, destroyed by the calamitous fire of the 10th
of April last. This proceeding on the part of the city
councils, had it been confined to a private expression
of their views to the Board of Trustees, would have
been of less questionable propriety. But to give pub
licity to such a proceeding, on the eve of the meeting
of the Trustees, convened for the purpose of deliberat
ing on a suitable site, before communicating with the
Trustees in any shape or form, is an assumption of
authority to which I humbly conceive the councils have
not the shadow of a claim— and carries with it, un
der the guise of a remonstrance, an appearance of
dictation, and a disposition to overawe the delibera
tions of a body acting in this, as in all other matters,
under the solemnity of an oath, and tespousible, not to
the councils of the city of Pittsburgh, but to the Legis
lature of the commonwealth, form whom they origi
nally derived their authority by charier. With just as I
meat propriety mieht the Board of Trustees have in
terfered with the deliberations of the city councils in
relation to the distribution of the fund for the relief of
the sufferer' by the late fire, and on the eve of their
meeting to decide that question, have published a pre
amble and resolutions remonstrating against the prin
ciple of distribution they were understood to have
adopted, and to give weight to their remonstrance,
have imputed to a portion of the councils, on mere
hearsay evidence, injustice and irnpulicy in their al
leged views of such principle.
But waiving the question of the propriety of this
proceeding of the City Councils, I wi-h, through your
columns, to disabuse the public to whom this quasi
appeal has been made, of an erroneous impression
which they may have derived from one part of the
preamble,—that which imputes to "a portion of the
Trustees of the Western University of Pa., a desire
to remove that Institution beyond the city or city dis
trict, a measure which the Councils characterize as
"both unjust lied impolitic, and from which many per
sons would infer that the Trustees dispaired of the re
turn of business and population to our city." No por
tion of the Trustees have manifested any such "de
sire"—and if they had, it is altogether gratuitous to
infer that it was because they "despaired of the return
of business and population to the city." It was be
cause they anticipated the return of business to that
part of the city contiguous to the former site of the
University, to • degree which would interfere materi
ally, by its, noise and bustle, with the daily exercises o f
the University, that they thought it their duty to se
lect, if possible, a site less liable to disturbance, and ;
of greater comparative, seclusion and quiet. And to
enable them to determine the eligibility of the sites
reported by a committee of their body, on their merits
respectively, free from embarrassment, and according
to their best judgment, they manifested a desire, no:,
as is alledged, to remove the Institution from Pitts
burgh and the city district, but a desire not to be con
fined in their selection to the city proper. This is
the amount of the offending of that portion of the
Trustees to whom the Councils refer, imputing to
them a desire to act in the premises both unjustly and
impolitically. 'Severel of those who voted against
restriction, expressed their decided predilection for
city of Pittsburgh as the location of the University,
and their determination to vote for a suitable site there
in, in preference to a site beyond its limits. While
others, who thought favorably of sites elsewhere, ex
pressed no desire to remove the Institutin from Pitts
burgh, if a suitable site could be found within its cor
porate limits. The Councils, Messrs Editors, have
been misled by out of door gossip.
But the Trustees, while they might with propriety
have laid the communication of the Councils—delivet
ed only officially at a late hour of their session--on
the table without considering it, have, on the contrary,
given it a respectful consideration; and responded
promptly to this new-born interest in the Institution
on the part of' the Councils, byappointing a committee
to confer with them in relation to the gift or to the
sale on moderate terms of the "old reservoir lot" on
Grant street, engaging, if given, to place the Universi
ty thereon, or if the gift is refused, to do the same, pro
vided the price demanded is at all commensurate with
the very limited means of the Trustees. It remains
to be seen how far the solicitude of the Councils to
retain the University within t lie city limits, will be prac
tically manifested, and the disposition of the Trustees
to accede to the earnest desire they have expressed in
their preamble and resolutions, will be met on the part
of the Cromer by a correspondent liberality.
