il.:1)c ;Oath, ,horning Post. WM. H. SMITH, EDITORS lITTSBUIIGII, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16,1845 EF We urn sorry for the Journal. Its attempt to "emerge from the diminutive ten mination of the trum pet," upon which it had blown such a tremendous and chivalrousblast about Clay's Texas and Slavery 001- ions, is more painful than amusing to the beholder.— We asserted abet we honestly believed—what every body believes,—and what is fairly deducible from Mr Clay's lattpusge, that he was "glad to see" Texas atsex4..: the,Juurnal affected tobo mightily injured at this expression of opinion, and repeated, most gra tuitously end ungraciously, that be "never uuered any thing like it," and that the sentiment was "stuck in Lig, moatti"-4nd now the Journal attempts to escape from its ridiculous dilemma by subterfuges of which it ought tobe ashamed—and by murderous illustrations which arepositively shocking. The Journal intimates that Mr Clay was merely a rousing himAelf with the friends of Texas when he wrote his letter saying he would be "glad to see" Tex as annexed—that "personally be had no objection to annexation," &c.--13r, in putting in :be conditions "without war, without ch.:honor, tcith the common consent of the Union," &c., he was naming obstacles that ho knew could never be removed. We would not, much as wears opposed to Mr Clay's course and pol icy, accuse him of such a bare-faced attempt to cheat the Annexationists of the South, and he will not thank the Journal for this apology. The Journal sap: r - - "The conditions upon which alone Mr Clay would have "no personal objection to" Annexation, were such as to render it perfectly certain that he never would see them compiled with and would never be re quired to assent to the measure." It is a well.known fact that the letter from which the extract in dispute was taken, was prepared for the use, if not at the instance of the Texas whigs in the South, who, "good, easy souls," took it as we have ta ken it, in its straight-forward, palpable meaning, as a wish to see Texas annexed. It was paraded in the South in the Texas whip papers, and proclaimed ftom the stump as a declaration by Mr Clay in favor of annexation—yet, here the Journal insults them by tell ingthem they did not understand the matter at all— that Mr Claybut kept . —"the word of premise to the ear, To break it to the hope." .~: _ „~ ~,,, t R~`<~ ~::~.; In making this statement, however, the Joiirnal well knows that the election is over—the Texas tt ern no longer to be feared—and that the Liberty par ty must be conciliated, if the whigs ever hope 10 elect a President. But we shall not consume time in establishing the fact,that Mr Clay wished the Southern people to think ha would be "glad to see" Texas annexed. There can be no more doubt that he was fn' annexation, than that he believes slave!) , to be a "sanctified" in. atitution. If the Journal can make it appear that slavery will be advanced by Annexation, we repeat that we have no doubt jt will be pleasing to Mr CT, A T, —notwithstanding his declaration, so averse to the -views of the Journal, that '•Slavery ought not to at. feet the question" of annexation. ''''To-day, B. M. RIDDLE, Eine assumes the editorial chair of the Commercial Journal, in pro per person, and unfurls the flag of the "universal whig party," under which banner he intends to do battle until the factions are again routed, and, per haps for some time longer. This summerset of the Age into the whig ranks, is another illustration that all neutral papers (or mostly all) ore disguised enemies of democratic principles. and that their neutrality is only intended to lust until a favorable opportunity may offer to throw off the cloak that concealed their partizan predilections. In bringing the Age into the ranks as an avowed advocate of wbig principles. the new editor will have but little change to make in its tone and bearing to. wards the democracy; but whatever change is made, we hope will be for the better. Dining the contest of 1344, it was one of the most virulent and miscrepte lous revilers of the democratic candidates that could he found in the state. No charge sus too gross to had admission into its columns, and no stretch of political turpitude too revolting to be resorted to fur the pur pose of injuring the reputation of the candidates of our party. And all this was done under the cloak of neutrality! But it is neutral no longer, and the pub lic, we think, may rest assured that its privaleering principles will now be abandoned. The present edi• ' -tor will no doubt make it a warm and decided whig journal. But while we expect to find in him an en ergetic and vizifant opponent, we have tio idea that he will ever prostitute his columns to the vile purposes for which the Age was used in the last Gubernatorial contest. i. F i , Milli '~' . r:'"e w We expect to meet a manly and honorable opponent, anti us such we welcome him back to the corps; end while we cannot but desire the prostration of the polit ical principles which it will be his endeavor to make popular with the people, yet we freely and heartily wish him success in his business relations, and that all his -hopes in that respect may be fully realized. E9PIVe learn that Mr lltasst KAINE ha 4 with drawn from the Ariel, and that the editorial depait meet of that paper is now under the sole control of Mr W.O ToitEr. Mr T. is an able and sprighly news paper writer. and is fully competent to make his paper useful and interesting to the public. A SMART "BRAIN AsA MAN."—At St Louis on Saturday n man went on boar) the Susquehannah, with several boxes, and requested of the clerk an cl vance of sixty dollars to enable him to complete the payment for the goods he alleged they contained. He received the money and was makingoff, when the clerk, becoming suspicion*, opened one of the boxes, and found that it chlitiliried nothing but wood. The man was pursued, overtaken, and the money recovered, but as there was no policemen present , he was permitted to escape. - MURDER.—The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury says: —We learn by a letter from Greenville, C. H., that on Tuesday morning a most brutal murder was coin• milted in open day, in the midst of the %illuge, by Dexter Wells, on a young man named Robert Head den. , An old ilidlculty had existed between them.— They had not spoken for two years. Wells commit ted the deed whilst his victim was passing the printing office where be was at work, by shooting him with u pistol. lie was arrested and imprisoned for trial. EF We learn that there are sixty officers appoint ed by the muyor of the city of Washington, and out of that numlier, but one individual is a democrat. The mayor is editor of the National Intelligencer, a paper which makes an much noise as the next one, about "proscription for opinion's sake," m hen Col Polk dis charges & whip, and fills his place by a good democrat. What consistency! - AN /NT/tar-STING DlsCQsstON.— ► The editor of the Chicago News, and some other Liberty men of Illi nois attended the late Convention of their parry at Cincinnati, and hace been writing letters to the News upon subjects of it (crest that struck their attention. One of them, a Mr. Cowman, traveling in Ohio. met with a fellow townsman of ours, Mr. M—, who recently made a journey to that State, when the con versation sketched below took place.—cl war with Mexico would be nothingin comparison with the war of words which now prevails between the %Vhigs and Liberty men obi-tut annexation; albeit, until the late canvass they pulled together most hat moniously. The quarrel is a "very pretty qutrrel us it stands," and we have no disposition to interfere with it. But we can not help giving our opinion as imply-ail spectators, that the Liberty men base got the ' big end of the stick," and are belaboring their quondam friends most unmercifully. It is un interesting question, and one which w e would submit to the Journal,—which seems very anx ious just cow to make Mr CLAY an anti-Texas man, —why the Liberty men should have refused to swal low Clay after acting with the whigs so long. It seems very singular, if Mr CLA Y has half the horror of Slavery that his friends pretend, that the Liberty men, who certainly are the best judges of men's feel ings on this subject, should have found it impossible to support him. The Liberty party (or the great mass of it) voted heartily for Harrison, and even were able to go fur Tyler, a slaveholder and advocate of slave ry But it seems that CLAY'S pro-slavery principles and partizanship were more than they could manage. We should hke to see this accounted fur by those whigs and whig presses who pretend to think that an ti-slavery objects would have been promoted by Mr CLAY'S election to the Presidency. But we have wandered away from nor purpose, which was to call attention to the dispute between our Clay neighbor and the Illinois abolitionist, which is reported by the latter as follows: "I rode from Columbus to Xenia la.t week, in com pany with a Mr sl—, of Pittsburgh. n man Of some mind and a good deal of heart in his way, and a nous iNo Clay man. It was truly amusing to see what a serious, even a relig ious aspect Ire assumed when he declared with sign al emphasis, that the Liberty party had sinned egregiously in defeating Clay, and annex ing Texas; and in doing it had sealed their own doom. Then turning to me. be said, with a solemnity that could not be beat, “your don't pretend to deny, Mr. Codling, that the Liberty party must be held en tireh responstble for the annexation of Texas?" I could hardly maintain my gravity, but in view of the seriousness of my companion. I maintained, I respectable seriousness. It has always looked to me like playing - a perfect farce, when Whigs have with so much seriousness made this charge, and some of them have played it so admirably, that it is a perfect treat to the risibles. 1 nclyed ',nor human nature so easily duped w here it is willing to be, has undoubtedly 'Crest, in this thing. in many instances. The leading %Ville editors have declared this falsehood an heartily, and with such a relish, that I really believe some of their readers believe it about as religiously as the) do a nv• thing else. My companion in travel begged of me to give my reasons. So I discoursed in bon somewhat as fol lows. lit. That die issue laow een the two pa:ties on the subject s.l Texas, was not Texas of no Texas. but immediate end unlimited annexation. But drop. ping thin and admitting that was (he issue, arid that the Liberty party had the balnace of power, and could ; have elected Clay and have kept out Texas. they wet e not so guilty as the Whigs. Reason:—lf three and two are tine, some two and ?hire live. My friend as sent.. Well. t hen, if the IVhig party and the Liberty ; patty added to it, could have elected Clay and have kept out Texas; then the Liberty party, and the Whig party added to it, could have elected ',limey. and have kept out Texas. But not only would the Liberty par ty have kept out Texas. but it would have kept out Florida as a slave State, and lowa an n negro op ' presairg State; it would have abolished slavery in the District of Columbia, the interstate slave trade; slavery in Florida; it wculd have restored the balance of the Federal Got% omeet. divorced it from the sup port of slavery, and slavery itself would have sunk like I , ad in the mighty waters. What has pieyented all this' \ the obstinacy of the IVhigs, in bowing down to Clay idol, and refusing to vole fir Birney thepi.t. They, then, atenot only re.pon-ibis for the anoexat Hn aa, but for the continuance of slave ry it.elf, (if the exercise of all the rightfol powers of government would lead to its °yet throw. which who doubts?) with all its untold, unmitig,ated horrors and woes. But, says try wbig friend, "you could not ex pert the W hig party to do any such thing." Nn, no! The Whig party were so bent on elevating the great duelist, slaveholder, :Missouri complomiser, champion of perpetual slavery, to the highest sent in the gift of the people, that they could not vote fur the accomp lished, the noble Birney, the repentant slavehulder, a revenue tariff man, the anti-annexationist, the man who would him! all the legitimate powers of the gov ernment employed to enlarge the area of freedom, and to destroy slavery. If it could not be expected that the Whig party would leave its few dollar and cent questions, to promote the great and unspeakable in terests of justice and hetnnniry, hose much less ought it to have beenexpected, that the Liberty putty could leave these great fundamental principles to promote the time and space questions of the Whig party. The Liberty party responsilif for aniezation! Who in the name of the past elected "Tippecanoe and TYLER TOO?" Do you say he has deceived you? We the Liberty party warned you in 1840, against this man, as it weak, nartow end bigoted slaveholder, 'we told you that your votes might place him not only where he would have the casting vote in the Senate, lint where by a possible contingency (enhanced to an almost possibility by the age of Harrison.) he might be the President of the United Suites. hut contin gency has recurred, and is matter of history. When Upshur was tiomintred by 1. Tyler, to the Secretaryship On account of his known interest in the 'l7x as coru‘pirticy, nd ability to consummate it, a whig Striate confirmed his nomination.—When, b 3 act of de at h, God removed that man, and J. C. Calhoun was w•ruirinted to consummate the infamous scheme who but a Whig senate, with an indecent haste, I believe, ithout u disenting vcice, confirmed the nomination? In the last act of the drama, who had the balance of power but two gond and true Whigs? They gore that power to Texas and Slavery. And now the ' Whigs turn and charge the annexation upon the Llb erty Party! Sham r! shame!! where is thy blush! My Whig friend, Mr. M. said that he loved Mr. Clay because he had been abused by the Democrats, that he should vote fur him as long as he should he up fur the (Aire of President, but that if he were out of the way. (dead or dropped by his party, as I infer red) he should then be a Liberty man. I have detail ed this conversation not on account of any importance that can be attached to the parties in dispute. Many Whigs are in the same state of mind with Mr. M., and will ultimately arrive at the same conclusions. My in terview with him was of a pleasant hind; and I am satis fied if he should ever see this little outline of our con versation, he would take it in good part not only, but admit general correctness. FATAL DELD.—WC learn from Cassius 'AI Clay's True American that J. Watts. n young man, the son of David Watts, Esq., was killed at the encampment near Athens, Ky., on Friday night during a sham at tempt to take the sentinels of the encampment. He attempted to pass a guard of sentinels, who had been placed over the cannon belonging to ono of the com panies—without giving the countersign. The brutes fired upon him, and the musket of one of them being loaded with bull and slugs, took effect in his breast, killing him instantly. This is horrible. The per petrators of this deed should be held to bail for mur der.

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH The reeve slave treaty between Great Britain and France, fur the regulation of the measures to be pursu ed by the two powers of the suppression of the slave trade on the ceast of Africa, is regarded as likely ma terially to check that inhuman traffic, and is therefore important. The arrangements entered into under the Ashburton treaty between great Britain and the Uni ted States, have been adopted, says the Boston Adver tiser, as the basis of those w ho have been agreed on in the British and French treaty, and the instructions given by the two governments to the commanders of the cruising squadrons, do not differ materially in their spirit from those who hove been given to the comman ders of our cruisers employed on the African station, and also those given to the commander of the British squadron on thc coast, in compliance-with the provis ions of the Ashburton treaty. Mr Upshur in his let ter of March 15,1843, to Commandant Perry, says that "the Unitud States do not demand that the sim ple presence of their flag shall be a pledge of impunity to those who have no right to raise it." Such a pretension would subject the flag to infamy and dishonor, because it would be made use of to cov er piracy and other similar crimes. All which trey demand is, that their own citizens, when they legally hoist the Americas flag, may enjoy all the prutectiun that it confers. Thus, when a cruizer of a foreign na tion shall board a vessel covered by the flag of the Uni ted States, it will incur all the responsibility of the act. If a ship shall be sn boarded, which is really an Amer ican, you need not interpose, but the aggrieved party will apply for reparation, either to the English tribu nals, or to his own government, according to the nature of the injury. If the vessel is not American, the Uni ted States have no reason to complain since their flog has not been abused. All occasion for difference or collision will thus be avoided, ood by this pot feet un derstanding between the two powers, the accomplish ment of the common object proposed by them will be secured, viz: the suppression of the slave trade. This is the substance of the Secretary'; explanation on this point. So in the instruction of the Admirality to the com mander of the British squadron, he is enjoined to bear in mind. that it is no part of the duty of' the vessels under his command, to seize, or to visit, or to afford nny interruption to American vessels, whether they have slaves on beard or not, and lie is required to give special orders to the otiv!ers under his command, to abstain from i; but it is added, "at the same time you will not forget, that the government of the United States is far from pretendiog that their flag ought to give immunity to those who have no right to bear it, —and that (heat Britain will never permit vessels of oilier nations, to exempt themselves from the liability to be visited, by the simple fact of hoisting the flag of the United States, or of any other nation, which has not gtanted to Great Britain the right of visit." Conse quently they ore instructed, when they have reason to believe from information, from the manceuvers of the vessel, or from or,y other cause, that the vessel does not belong to the nation whose flag it hears, they shall take measures to verify the character of the flag, with all the precautions against unnecessary detention in their power.—Pennsylvanian. Steamship Great Britain i. the largest vessel ever built, being 39'2 feet long. main breadth, 504 feet; weight of iron used in the ship anti engines, 1.500, tone, anti is 1,000 horse power; constructed by T. R. Gappy, E.q , at the works of the Great Western Steamship Company, nitsrolt and we understand this totel cost willexceed £95,000. Launched 19th July, 1813. Some idea of her extraordinary length may he form ed enit is stated that she ie uhw•anla of 100 feet loniarr thou either of our first-rate line-ol.bittle skips— the Q.)een,Calecluidit, and Sr. Vincent. The Great Britain is dividediinto compartments, to each of which the engine pumps, by means of pipes end corks, run he applied. The water-tight divisions of rad' compartment add greatly to the strength of the ship, either as struts or tie.s. All steamers, wheth er on the score of humanity or for the preset% anon of property, ought to be so divided; lot if a vessel be d ivid• ed trim five or six compartments, and any one ef them shoald from accident till, her buoyancy would only be slightly atfected. If two compartments tilled, and those two were not ut the exttemes, the extreme compartments would keep her afloat. If two consecu- Ifs e compartments, either forward or It, tilled, it is certain if she went down head or stern foremost that she v. oul I be some time about it; long enough to give time for all the boats to be got in readrrx•ss. Probably we cannot better conclude than by the fol lowing passage from the ver. able notice of the struct ural merits of the Great Britain in the iNzerra-vor:— . . ••[hut we Must descend trOM our promenade on the deck into the huge caverns, the cauldrons below. The first pecollii, iv not iced is OW engme%nti,l emu' Mnus chain and chain-, heel for driving the screw. Four separate steam engines drive round the axes of this monsoons a heel—two it we end of the axle, two al the other, the wheel between. . The cylinders urn placed apart at the butter!' of the vessel, and the piston rods %litchi issue out of them converge to the end of the cranks of this wheel. Each pair of engines works ono crank, and the two cranks are placed at right angles. But the chain is the extraordinary thing. There are grooves on the wheel. At the end of each link of this huge chain there are teeth projecting into these grooves, so that as the wheel revokes the chain is compelled to revolve with it. At the bottom of the vessel, immediately below the great wheel, lies a little wheel or pinion, hosing grooves cut in its circumfer ence of the same size and It the same distance from each other, though much less in number than those of the larger wheel. The same chain pauses round both wheels, arid while the large wheel revolves by the power of the engines once, the small one revolves as much oftener as it is smaller. The small wheel has for ita axis the axis of the Archimedes screw, a hich is attached to th after end of the axis, and protrudes through an aperture at the stern into the water. Its revolutions givu motion to the vessel by their reaction on the water." Wealth of the Nation.—The value of all the pro duct% of the country for 1839, reached the ,-um of $1,200,600.000. According to Mr Ellsworth's Re port for 1844, our agricultural products are on the in crease. The wattle of nine of the principal agt icultu tat products reaches the sum cf four hundred millions of dollars. The value of agricultural articles not enu merated must have been large, nutwilhstanding lie low prices of every thing during 134-1. Domestic manufactures were low throughout the year; but no doubt the value of the whtle products of the country reached ten hundred millions of dollars. In additihn to the immense space of individual property under ; cultivation and lying idle in the United States, ‘‘o possess upwards of 1.000.000,000 acres of public ! lands. When these come under cultivation, and the vast amount of private lands now only half cultivated are improved to their utmost capacity, what an amount of wealth will it create, and what a vast amount of population will it support. NEBRASKA TERRITORY This territory[ is the country west of lowa, watered by the upper Missouri and its branches. It was for merly occupied by the Crow tribe bf Indians, An old Crow chief once described it according to Captuin Bonneville in tbese words: The Crow country, is agood country. The Great Spirit has put it exactly in the right place—while you are in it you fare well—whenever you go out of it, whichever way you travel you will fare worse. If you go to the South, there you have to wander over great barren plains—the water is warm, and bad, and you meet the fever and ague. To the north it is cold— the winters are long rind bitter, with no grass—you cannot keep horses there, but must travel with dogs. What is a country without horson? On theColumbin they ale poor and ditty, paddle about in canoes, and cat fish. Their teeth are worn out—they are always taking fish bones out of their mouths. To the east, they dwell in villages—they live well—but they drink the muddy water of tie Missouri—that is bed. A Crow's (log would not drink the water. About the forks of the Missouri is a fine country—good water— good grass—plenty of buffalo. In summer it is al most as good as the Crow country—but in winter, it is cold—the grass is gone; and there is no salt weed for the horses. The Crow country is exactly in the right place. It has snowy mountains and sunny plains —and all kinds of climates, and good things for every season. When the summer heats scorch the prairies, you can draw up under the mountains, where the air is sweet and cool, the grass fresh, and the bright streams come tumbling from the snowy banks. There you can hunt the elk, the deer, and the antelope, when the skins are fit for dressing—there you will find plen ty of whitetbeats and mountain sheep. In the autumn, when your horses are fat end strong from the moun-, tain pastures, you can go down into the plains and I hunt the buffalo, or trap beaver on the streams. And when winter comes on, you can take shelter in the woolly bottoms along the rivers—there you will find buffalo meat fur yourselves, and cotton wood hark for your horses—er you may winter in the Wind river valley, where there is salt weed. in abundance. The Crow country is exactly in the-right place. Every thing good is to be found there. There is no country like the Crow country."
