THE ALLEGHESY RoBREIIY.—Mayor HOWARD
called upon us yesterday, fer the purpose of stating
that we had done him injuoice in our attick refer ing
to hit conduct in connexion with the attempt to rob
the office of the Treasurer of Allegheny city. Our
statement aas based on information reecho d from one
of the officers of Allegheny city—who is also a mem•
—Aker of the same political party with Mr Howard—
and war were careful to put down nothing that was
not fully VI ortnnied by the the statements made to us
by one whose position would enoble him to (Anal,' a
correct Loin Loowi,dge of all the facts Although w e
most earnestly desire to defeat Mr. Howard, and feel
di-pined to u,e all hut...intik, [neon, to effort that pun
pose, yet we tuff! no one will suppose Ut capable of
attempting 10 accomplish that cod by misrepreseida-
Lion and falsehood.
•
ri-trie.sted by Mr. 11 we Viiiiingiy give him all
the advantages that may be derived from his dcni•
al of those portions of our article that he says does
biro injustice. Mr Howard says it is not true that he
or his suborvlinatc. have a "stool pidge , n" in theil
employ; ho say., it is not true 'hot tinny nrglected t o
give information to the Allegheny Police of the con.
tensplated robbery, because they wanted to appropt
ate to themselves the honor of apprehending the
thieves; and he stip it is not true, as ranted in our ar•
title ; that he received information of a Necormi
berg that had been planned and which was to take
place after the roll, ry of the Treasureis office bad
been accomplished. These, so far as our memory
nerves us are the only important staiements in our arti
cle that Mr. Howard denies. Ile thinks that he was
under no obligation to furnish the Allegheny Mayor
or police with the information he had obtained, and
supposes that he had done sufficient when he made it
known to Mr. Strwait, the Tire Finer. He also sas
that tile following note addressed to us by Mr Stewait
is a fair statement of farts.
After seeing a statement in the Post, respecting the
rub Ling of my office, I feel it doe to Mayor [[award
and myself, to let the public know all the facts concer
ning ir. Wm. B. Mowry called and told me May
or Howard wanted to see me, but could not say
exactly what be wanted me for, but for something con
cerning the robbery of nay office. I immediately call.
ed to see him, he told me !lint Mr. Vague had received
intelligence that two or three persons had laid a plan
carob my office, but could not nay at what •ithe, nor
was he sure that it could be relied on. cutting front the
ocsureipit did, but advised me to term", what money I
eight have in the safe. I told him I never left any
money in it at he also r quested me to call when
I wail over in the Cily, and if he gut any more par.
titulars he would let me know. I very kindly thank
ed him : he said he was at all times ready anti stilling
to communicate any thing to detcet thieves. or come
thingto that purpose. That is all that passed, as near
as I can recollect. Nothing was said about not corn.
raunicating it to the Allegheny Police. I set a silent
Watch, but atm being no money that they could get.
and not certain of the validity of it I made m‘seil
easy THOS. 11. STEW A RT.
This is the case as made nut by Mr. froward, and,
notwithstanding he did not give the information to
the officers whose duty would compel them to arrest
the thieves, and who aro still anxious tosseertain their
names, so that they may be vigilently watched, or moa•
sores adnpted that will relieve the community from
their depredations, he is of the opin ion t hat there was
nothing in his conduct deserving of public censure.
The public will now see that this matter is narrowed
dewy to a question ofverecity between Mr }lowan), his
offacers,and the officers of Allegheny. All our statement.
were made on their authority and as Mr Howard denies
them it now behooves the officers of Allegheny to sat•
'dry the public that they had good ground to make
the charges. What we have said and dune in this
matter has been from the best of motives and with a
view solely to the protection of the community, and in
this as in all other caws where the welfare of the cir•
hens is concerned, we consider it our duty to invest i•
gate matters without any consideration as to et ho
might be phased or displeased at our remarks.
13P We have ascertained to our entire satislltction
that our correspondent, "First Ward," in asserting
that Mr. S. F. Von Bonhorst, was a recipient of tire
AeliefFund, stated what is not the fact. Mr. V. B.
neither applied for, or received one cent of the afore
said fund. It is Kuper for us to any that we received
the communication referred to through the medium of
the rest Office, and in the publication of it relaxed
our rules so fares to give it a piece without knowing
the name of the author.

The exertion. of our people to meet dm engage

payment, by a number of counties ttit he whole amount
of their taxes for 1815, several month* berme the time

more than $390,000 to the eff'erti de revenues of the
yea); and the tau Legislature basing excluded certain

to pny the interest which fell due on the funded debt
within the pest fiscal year. On the first day of the
present tessiun, the balance remaining in the Treasu

revenues, will be applicable to the demands of the

ed favor and fostering care of the Legisla
ture, comfort and instienctiou are provided
for a few, who are excepted from the mass
by special misfortune. But the latter, are
a blessing to all: they provide for improv
ing and elevating the whole body of the
people, and for qualifying every child in.
its onward way to maturity, by sound men-I
ltal and moral instruction, for filling up its!
measure of usefulness, and accomplishing !
intelligently, the ends of its being. That
community is happy, in which the system
of general education is so widely diffused,
and so well administered, as I have seen it
in the County of Philadelphia.
Allow me gentlemen, before closing thisj
communication, to tender to you assurances!
of my hearty co-operation in your etforts l
to maintain the faith of the Commonwealth,
and advance the welfare of our constituents.
To secure these great objects, with the ,
more certainty, it is desirable that the in -1
'dispensable business of the Legislature I
should be acted on at an early period, and'
that no important subjec of legislation should!
be deferred to the closing days of the ses
sion.
The practice, which has sometimes ob
tained, of affixing the Executive approval
to bills during the recess, seems to me to
be opposed to the policy of the Constitution,
while to act on them in the crowded hours
that precede a final adjournment, requires
a decision without affording time for con
sideration,—hence, a rule securing reason
able time for Executive deliberation, on bills
'presented to him near the close of the Bcs
sion, is most desirable.
Since the last session of the General As
sembly, it has pleased Almighty God, to
withdraw from the view of the American
nation, its most eminent and best loved Cit
izen. After a life devoted to his county,
the defence of her soil, her institutions and
'her honor, ANDREW JACKSON has passed to
his rest,—leaving to the friends of liberty,
throughout the world, the precious inheri
tance of his example, and the consecrated
memory of his services. His last moments
were serene and admirable. Death found
him awaiting his approach, with a heart
expanded in universal charity, and a spirit
brightning as it drew nearer to the Savior
in whom he trusted. That he lived, has
been the long extended theme of patriotic
gratulation; that he so died, must crown
the devout thanksgivings of the Christian.
