Phillips & Smith, which appeared in ye•terdxy's paper, announced to the Pub lic the sale of the Daily "Morning Post," and iVeekiy tYlereery end Manufacturer" to Messrs. Bigler, Sar jont & Bigler. The political character of the papers will remain unchanged: The principles of the Dem3cratic party wilKiefairly and zealously sustained, and ell its use gel adhered to strictly. To the present National and State Mini nist rot ions, we con pledge a cordial support. batiesing as we do, that their measures will tend in art eminent degree to promote the general prosperi ty of the country—th'tt all constitutional requireinents will be sacredly observed, and the luwa of the land faithfully expcct d. In defence of principles ardently cherished, we will doubtless frequently fed called upon to repel the .assaults of the opposition press, and defend our party and our party friends, but we will always do so in terms and langunge perfectly respectful. Political ,discussions, we certainly expect to have many, but so fares we are concerned, personal abuse will never be resorted to. The "Post," under the control of our able and : worthy predecessors, was not only an efficient party Journal, but well filled with matter of interest to the general reader, and we are well aware that it will re quite great industry to give additional interest to its columns. As soon, however, as circumstances will permit, the paper will be enlarged, and its appear ance in other respects improved. ' When enlarged, much attention and labor will be bestowed upon the Commercial Department, and we feel warranted in gising the assuranco that there will be no just cause to complain either of its want of fullness or accuracy. Local Intelligence will be carefully collected, and given to our readers in as brief a form as possible. No exertions will be spared to make the PoAr use r)! and interesting, to the community in general. HON It. J. W /ot tn.—This distinguished gentle man has recently been grossly misrepresented by his opponents in Mississippi and other sections of the Union. He was charged with having suppressed tae commission of the Hon Jecon Timm esor:, who had baen appointed by Governor Brown, in March last' .Lis successor in the United States Senate. Mr. Wal ker's explanation is very clear and entirely satisfacto ry. He says: The governor had been induced to 'make this appointment in consequence of assurances from me, that my own vote, or that of my successor, might, and in all probability, would be necessary to give the Democratic party a majority in the Senate , uprm the election of a printer for two years, at the Executive session. I urged upon the Governor the Importance of this election to the Democratic patty, fully appreciating the injurious consequences' of a de feat on this question, at the very outset or the new ad- Ministration, and the censure that would attach to me, if this defeat were produced by a single vote, owing to my withdrawal from the Senate. Influenced by these considerations, and with a view to meet this con tingency, the Governor transmitted, not to Mr Thomp. son, but to me, a commission for him an a Senator, to take effect after the 10th of March last, leaving to me • as I conoeived, a full discretion to deliver the commis. Sion or not, as the eiicumstances of the case before re ferred to might require. When the commission was handed to me with Gov Brown's letter, the contingen cy to which I have refetred, had not happened, and it was clearly ascertained would not happen, it having :been determined after the date of my letter to Gm-. Brown, not to go into the election of a Printer at the Esecutive Session. The contingency not having hap. paned to meet which the commission was signed, it seemed to toe, that to have delivered it under such ,circumstances, would have violated the will and pur pose of the Executive, and the confidential trust and "discretion devolved by him on me. It would give us much pleasure to publish the letter *mire, but its groat length precludes us from doing, so• The vindication is so complete and overwhelming that the Mississippian, the originator of the misrepresen lo tion, basin un article of considerable length, apologiz ed for its connection with it, unequivocally exonerating Mr W. from all blame. -Coat AND LIIIRRTY.—The Cleveland “Plain Deal er," gives the substance of a very interesting conver station had recently with one of thn editors of the "Di trio," a paper published in the city of Havana. Texas, annexation, end the signs of the times were the subject of conversation, and the Habanero, spoke with great warmth, a warmth amounting to enthusiasm, cif his anticipations and those of the thousand others .ia kis island, of the day when the power of the moth ercountry having become a rope of sand, and her throne set at naught by the Kingdoms of Europe, she shall have fallen a prey to their wiles and been divided be etween them, even as Poland was carved and served • out piece-meal to Russia, Prussia and Austria—" to - that day." said he, "we Habanero, will raise the 'stars and stripes' upon the walls of old Moro Castle, .and dellans our entire and unlimited independence of all European sway! We cannot be Spanish colonists long,—we can be colonists of any other power never. Eifea to-day, we would become Milted States citizens if we •were strong enough. But the Home Depart :ineat has quartered an army of tens of thousands of - soldiers upon us. We are under martial law. Our - taxes are paid because the payment is enforced by the • bayonets which our own piastres must support. Our • revenues are all framed out to monopolists, our privi leges of trade sold by the crown to the highest bidder, and our colonial government the bitterest despotism ever suffered by an enduring people. But the tim e will come when the arm of the government will be shortened, and we shall be free to act alone, or like Texas, ask protection from the American flag." WAR WITH MEXICO 133*The Washington correspondent of the Bostoh ' Post, says: "The impression that Mexico will declare war against the United States, is rapidly gaining ground here among those who have access to the most reliable sources of intelligence. It is an opinion, in deed, which I believe is shared by the President and Iris Cabinet, in common with those bolding diplomatic and consular stations in or near Mexico. Such arc the ptivute advice. from Major Donelson. the Amer '..icaticharge in Texas, and the government itself has acted. and is now acting, io view of this contingency; and viewing matters in their true aspect, it is indeed tdiffieult to believe that Mexico will forego an open declaration of hostilities, however ruinous such a step may prove to herself." trWe ere requested to state that the primary meeting of the democratic citizens of Peebles town ship, to be held on the 16th of August, for the pur pose appointing delegates to the County Convention, will convene at the Public School House, in the village of East Liberty OUR FOREIGN TRADE. The balance against us in our trade, says the N. Y. I Herald, with Spain and dependencies, is greater than with any other country. The principal articles imported from Spain inte the United States are wines. sugars, molasses, spit its and fruits, and the articles ,ez.- I ported are cotton, tobaccqpnwrisions, flour and lumber. Our trade with Brazil stands second in the list against us, as we import from that country vast quantities of Coffee, and only supply in return Ismail quantities of ' I flour and cotton manufactures. The trade between this country and Brazil is, however, rapidly increasing, and a few year. will suffice to throw the balance on the otherside. The difficulties between Great Britain and Brazil, in relation to a commercial treaty, are doing a great deal towatds improving the markets for our cot ton manufactures. We are entitled to the most favor able terms from the Brazilian Government, in the entry of our goods into their ports. Of the $6,883,806 im ported front:Brazil in 1844, $5,802.901 was in the single article of Coffee, which we admit, under the present tariff, free; while the imports into Brazil from the U. States are cornpelled to pay a very high rate of duty, and are only admitted upon the most restric tive conditions. The government of Great Britain places restrictions upon the importations of the princi pal articles from Brazil, in many instances, almost amounting to prohibition, notwithstanding which, the manufactures and produce of Great Britain are import ed into Brazil upon terms quite as favorable, as the manufactures and produce of the United States. The recsnt attempt of the Government of Great Britain to place a higher duty upon slave grown sugar than upon that produced by free labor, has produced a retaliato ry movement in the Brazilian Government, and the duties upon certain descriptions of English manufac tured goods have been iocreosed. There is a large balance against us in our trade with China, the importations from which country we admit intoner ports upon the most favorable terms. Tea is the principle article imported from China, and com prises more than three-fourths of our imports from that country, and is entered free. Our exports to China are candles, naval stores, skins and furs, gin seng, provisions, flour, bread, hops, leather, soap, to bacco, lead, iron, molasses, sugar and cotton manufac tures. We are rapidly building up markets in China fur our manufactures and will, without doubt, in a few years, be able to reduce the balance against us in our trade with that country, but we have little hope of be ing able, for many Nears, to ci care a balance in our fa vor. The principal exporting staple of China is tea, and it is very doubtful whether we can build up a trade with the Chinese, to exceed the amount of our annual wants for this article. The trade between Great .Britain and the United States is greater than hem een any other two counties in the world. and in this trade the balance in our favor is greater, than in our trade with any other country.— the extensive demand in the United Kingdom for our great staple, cotton, enables us to not only liquidate any indebtedness we may have created on our impor tations but to raise op a balance in our favor, large e nough to offset our indebtedness to other countries, in our trade with them, and show a very respectable bal ance due us in the aggregate commerce of the country. The exportation of cotton alone from the United States, to Great Britain in 1534. was almost sufficient to pay for the whole of our importations from that country . The aggregate value of the imports in 1344, was $35- 459,122 and the valet, of cotton exported in the same period 839.493,952. One half of the total expqrts from the United States in 1844, was to Giaat Britain, and nearly one half of the total imports into the United States Wild from that nation. The balance in our favor , in our trade with England, was larger than the aggre gate value of our exports to any other connti y. Our foreign trade with all .countries is small com pared with the extent of our internal trade. but it is necessary that every outlet for our produce and man ufactures, should he fostered and increased to pre serve our domestic trade in a healthy stale. An ex. tot nal demand for our products, relieves the home mat ket and has a very favorable effect upon prices.

JACK'SON.—The Washington Correspondent of the Boston Post relates the following characteristic anecdote of the old hero, and refers to it as strikingly illustrative of his remark able aptness in judging human character. The life of Jackson doubtless abounds in similar reminiscences; and it will devolve upon his future biographer to pre serve themfrom oblivion: In the winter of 1E132, President Jackson conferred the mission to Russia upon a justly deserving son of Pennsylvania. Before the newly-appointed minister, however, had departed onks mission, he deemed it due to the President to ask his counsel in reference to the selection of a secretary of legation. The Pres ident declined all interference, and remarked to the minister that the United States government would hold him responsible for the manner in which he dis charged his duties, end , that he would consequently be at liberty to choose his own secretary. The minis ter returned his respectful acknowledgements; but, before taking a final leave, sought his especial advice in regard to a young gentleman then in the service of the State Department, and who was highly recommen ded by the then secretary. Gen. Jackson promptly said: "I advise you, sir, not to take that man: he is not good judge of preaching." The minister seemYd puzzelecl, and observed that the objection needed explanation. "I am able to give it," said the old hero; and he thus continued: "On last Sabbath morning, I attended divine service in the Methodist Episcopal church, in this city. There I listened to a soul-inspiring sermon by Professor Dur. bin, of Carlisle—one of the ablest pulpit orators in America. Seated in a pew near me, I observed this identical young man, apparently on attentive listener. On the day following, he came into this chamber, on public business; when I had the curiosity to ask his opinion of the sermon and the preacher. And what think you, sir? The young upstart, with consummate assurance, pronounced Mat sermon all froth, and Pro fessor Durbin a humbug! I took the liberty of saying to him: 'AO your.: man, you are a hunthug your- -, . . self, mid don't know it.' And now," continued the venerable old man, his eye lighted up with intense !mi.. mation, "reereasured, my dear sir, that a man who is' not a better judge of preaching than that, is wholly unfit to be your companion. And besides," he added, "if he were the prodigy the Secretary of State repre sents him to be, he would be less anxious to confer his services upon you—he would rather be anxious to re tain them himself." The President's advice was, of course, followed by the ambassador: and the yeung man's subsequent career of vice and folly proved that the General's estimate of his character, albeit founded upon a common place incident, was substantially cor rect. CCrAt a meeting of the Sub Committee of arrange ments, for the ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Andrew Jackson, held on Saturday morning, the 19th inst., the following resolutions were passed : Resolied, That in the name of the committee of arrangements, we return our thanks to the directors cf the Hand street Bridge and Northern Liberty Bridge Companies, for permitting the procession to pass, toll free, on the 17th inst. d Resolved, That the thanks of the community are sue to Wilson McCandless, Esq., for the eloquent and appropriate Eulogium, delivered on that day. Resolved, That the thanks of the committee nre due to Rev. Dr. Campbell and Rev. Dr. Magill, fur their participation in the exercises of the day. Resolved, That we return our thanks to Mr. Luke 'noire, for his promptness in furnishing his warehouse for the use of Committee without expense. Resolved, That we return our thanks to the officers of the day, to the Mayor and City Councils, to the va rious military and fite companies, to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and to the citizens generally for their successful efforts to render the occasion one of solemnity and interest, as was due to the public servi ces of the man to whose memory we were met to do honor. ResolVed, That we return our thanks to the mer chants, manufacturers and others, for respect shown upon the occasion by them, in closing their stores and ceasing to du business, at the request of tho Councils and committee of at rangoments. Resolved, That these Resolutions be published in the city papers. The most interesting question of the day, now that Texas is annexed, is what will be the course of Mexi co when she receives the news. The Baltimore Amer ican of the 17th publishes the following extract of a letter from an American gentleman residing in Vera Cruz, to his friend in that city. under date of June 24, the latest date from that place: "War between this country and the United States appears inevitable. My opinion is now completely changed, and from the continued and most recent news from Texas, it appears to be reduced to a certain ty that that country will be united to the States, which will be considered here as tantamount to a declaration of war. This is beyond a doubt. What figure this country will make in war with their powet fol neighbor remains to be seen. A poor impoverished country destitute of resources, without Navy, without a fort on the cons: excepting San Juan do Won here, with an unpaid army wretchedly officered, against .he United States. full of resources of every kind, the result seems not to rdmit of a doubt, unless some of the European powers lend their uid, whibli is not thought probable. I have it from good authority, that England will not, and it is not likely that Frnace will; those two coun tries having enough to do to watch each other's move ments, and preserve the equilibrim of Europe. Some think that the seas will swarm with privateers with Mexican commissions, but others are of opinion that this will not be tolerated in the present age, as it would be equivalent to piracy, it being well known that there are not in existence enough Mexican seamen to man half a dozen privateers. In short, things look exceedingly squally here, and a few short weeks nt most is, ill unravel the mystery. Vr hatever stand Mex ico takes she will be sure to err. for I never saw such a set of politicians, or a people less capable of govern ing themittives. Do what they will they cannot pre serve quiet among themselves: Fo r m y part lam a fraid we shall have a repetition of the scenes present ed in 1838, an abandoned city, and the castle in pos session of a foreign power. So much ft tr the situation of this misguided Republic." Tne RIGHT SPIRIT.—Mr Buchanan sent to the Democrats of the Second Congressional District, of Philadelphia, the following tons!: The Democratic Party—the party of power and progress, whose policy it is, continually to elevate and ennoble man, to exalt and enrich the Nation. Its as cendency is best perpetuated by inculcating harmo ny in its ranks, and adheting, faithfully to its prin ciples. We ask attention to it because it breathes the right spirit, is peculiarly appropriate, and well originated. It is the policy of the Democratic party only that can exalt and enrich this nation. Whig policy has been attempted, and convulsive embarrassments have been the results; but to obtain success, to place Demo cratic policy in the ascendency, to make it the policy of the party, there must be (as INIr B. so well says) harmony in the minks of the party and faithful adhe sion to its principles. All whoembark in the contest must fight for principles. Particular objects must not be lost sight of, and men who support the broad prin ciples of Democracy, must be lost sight of, and men who support the broad principles of Democracy, must alone be recognized as candidates of the party.— Cliques, cabals, factions and knots, having some pet object in view, must be alike frowned down. Presi dent-makers must be disregarded, or else looked upon as mischief makers. The party. its principles, its suptemacy, must be ever remembered, and stout Dem ocratic hearts must beat in "union and harmony" to acquire the victory so desired and desirable.—Key ' stone. [A Mr Woodward, of Warren county, Ohio, said to he a man of veracity, gives the Eaton Register the following account of a petrified woman. It occurred near Lebanon:]— .1 "On the Gth day of last month, our venerable and much esteemed friend, John C. 11 in,closed his eanh ly career, in the full hope of a happier immortality.— On the following day an appropriate funeral discourse was delivered by Eider \V Clark. His remains were decently interred in the graveyard near West Lebanon. Some time previous to his death he had expressed n desire that the body of his first wife should be remosed to this grave yard. Accordingly, on the 24th ult., the citizens of Lebanon and the vicinity, undertook to re move the remains of Mrs Irwin. I went with others in search of her grave. We found it on a very high pointof white oak ground, near Rock Creek, where they had formerly lived. And when we had opened the guise down on the coffin, we found it about one fourth in water, and the plank of the coffin very rot ten; however, we got several pieces of bark under it, to bind it together and lift it out. From the great weight of the coffin, we were curious to see it. opened; and to our utter astuni.ment. there lay the body in full size It was covered with a thin strum of black dirt, which appeared to be alive with very lit tie worms of a yellow color, but they soon disappeared when exposed to the air. When we came to examine more minutely.; we found that the body had petrified. and became a smooth white limestone in appearance, The head and neck had petrified, and nothing remain ed but the naked bone, and the hairs of the head, and some feathers which had been in a pillow. The arms are petrified at the elbow joint, and nothing remained of the lower part of the arms and hands but the naked bones. The foot had also petrified, and fell off at the ankle joint; and the stone appeared shelly. At the knee joints the legs appeared to be solid stone. A round each leg, where she wore her gaiters—being a very fleshy woman—the garter had made a very deep impression, and this impression was plainly visible in the stone, except some parts where it appeared The thickness of the stone was about. that of common Spanish sole leather." • M'The Vermont Central Railroad will be built. $1,200,000 has been subscribed in Boston; $600,000 along the line of the road; and Mr Belkap, the builder of the Fitchburg Railroad, has signified his intention of subscribing $500,000, if be can obtain the building of this one. • !The rise in the Osage river this year is said to be forty feet and greater than has been known toefore for a Intl Rules of years.

This ‘vorli contains the beet productions of English law authors, without regard to priority of claim on the pat tof any American publisher. Such hooks are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that as fast as they appear they become monopolies in the bands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Under the plea of right acquired by the addition of notes of Ameri can decisions, the latter claim an undivided title td those works, and set a burthensome price on them.— The publishers of the work now effered to the profes sion througout the Union, will not respect such titles, but will re-print the standard British law hooks as fast as they eminate from the London market. Should new editions of the works of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included; and Digests of Equity and Law de cisions—works which have been studiously kept out of the Law Library published at Philadelphia—shall have a place in the proposed new one, together with every new valuable English treaties on Chancery or Common Law. This work will be ksued monthly in numbers of 150 pages, printed on fine white paper and good new long primer type, at seven dollars per annum, payable half yearly. ISAAC G. WEINLEY, J. M. G.
