TIM Rau, Fos - D.—The pamphlet containing the
names of the Recipients of the Relief Fund, and the
amounts given to them, has furnished the subject for
general cotreereation for several days past. The little
that was known by the public of the manner of dis
tributing the donations for the sufferer*, was sufficient
to show that the Committee had adopted a principle
for action that was alike unjust and unfair to the
giver and the receiver. But the pamphlet exhibits a
picture much more humiliating and disgraceful to our
city, than any one previously conceived. The fact
that a great many of the lasers were not stryerers,
and were not entitled to any portion of the means
raised for the latter class, alone, seems to have been
entirely lost sight of by the committee. It would
imam by the list that the largest recipients were
those who had no right to any portion of the fund
whatever.
lf the donors of the Relief Fund. could have com el
personally to our city to distribute the means they it.
generously raised,clies any one think that they would I
have sought out those who have $5OO and $O5O op•
posits their names, as sufferers, worthy of relief and
commisseration. Much of the relief fund WU* con•
tributed by the very poorest of one fellow-citizens i n'.
various parts of the country. Men and women who;
nude end still make their bread by their daily toil,:
gave their mite (perhaps the produce of days or
weeks of labor) for the support of those whom they
thought to be wholly destitute. How would the sell.
sufficient owner of sundry brick houses and valuable
lots have felt if be bad been accosted, shoat the time
he was getting his check for iris shave of the ••furid."
by spoor widow or a day.laborer, and asked to receive
a dollar he or she intended for the sufferers by the
fire. We should like to know bow many ~1 'hooe
as ho received the large dividebdi, would hove ventur
ed to take the eras!! pittando of thekind-hearted
poor, directly from their own hands. They n Quid
hsve scorned to touch the trifling SUM. It would in
many cases have been insufficient to buy a 'tingle dot
net for the suffering owner of brick to a rehous...., or
rich groulai rents. Yet they did hot he.iiute to take
from the committee the aggregate of tiro hundred
these SUMS.
We have not time nor loom to enumerate half tlm
instances of injustice which the pamphlet ta 6 op,—
nor even to point out the gross mistakes of the cotnmit•
tee lathe general rules they adopted in their dist ributton.
Many who lost -kora $3OO to GOO dollars, ail they
had on earth, got but ouedividend, and that %holly in
sufficient to cover their losses. To be sure even they
could not be culled sufferers in the !Via tense of tlr
word, nor as the we'd was understood by thoae who
made up the Fund. But they tic surely rnech more
deserving of relief than those who received a ■eeond
It strikes to as peculiarly unjust that the :erre.
losers alone should have been favored with a srcond
share of the Relief Fund. We think, however, a;;
will agree that the distribution should cease. There
is but little to distribute, it is true. But let the few
hunched dollar' yet on hand be returned to the State
Treasury, and let nes Councils pass a res, - •lotion ref,.
ing to receive the tn.ooo not vet paid by the State.
Et is positively shameful for the Councils to demand
that balance, ns they have done through Ur. Dar.ie
In the present condition of our licences '•it will do
the State some service." Let the State Lep it, then,
rather than have it sent here to give occasion to (real.
injustice and new heart-burnings.
We cannot but commend the course of the Treasu
rer, Mr SeowDes, in refusing to pay over the !none)
under the peculiar circumstances of the case.

HON. BALIE PEYTON AND TIIE NATIVE
AMERICANS.
The subjoined letter from the Hun fl.iihe Peytt , r
to the President of the American Ass”ciutinn in tt.,s
city, speaks for itself. We commend its perusal to
others whore motives in joining the Association were
the same that actuated lir Peyton:
Nero Orleans, Jan 14th, IC 16.
• Sir—Tbechief motive which induced me tut:weenie
a member of the Native American party of Loui, iana,
wee a desire to guard the elective franchise against
abuse and to proteet the ballot box from fraud.
1 have become well satisfied from experience and
observation that a seperate and distinct organization,
upon tba principles of the Native American party. is
not calculated to accomplish the objects of it. creel
or to result in any real benefit to the country.
On mature reflection, I am convinced that some of
the restrictions and principlosof the party are evrerne,
proem iptive, and unnecessary to the accomplidoncla
of the great objects in view, to wit: the purity of on,
elections, and the just administration of the laws.—
Entertaining these sentiments, I would bo doing my.
self injustice to continues member ofyour Association,
and beg leave, most respectfully, to resign as a teem.
ber of the society of which you are President.
As I am in the daily habit of receiving communi•
cations addressed to me from the Native American,
party in various sections of the country, I feel that it
is due to other societies as well as myself, that
should avail myself of the press to .make known my
position in relation to this matter.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant.
BALIE PEYTON.
C. M. Emansoa, Esq., President of the American
Association of Loukiena.
Mr Belie Peyton has, in common with many other
political aspirants, wh:, expected to ride into place
and power upon what they supposed to be the pa
pular wave of Nativism, have discovered that it was!
the merest bubble that could be blown into existence,'
by the breath of fanatacism and proscription, std
are now endeavoring to clear themselves of the odium
which they very justly suppose should attach to
soy one who ever gave the proscriptive faction any
countenance. In this city the birth of nativeism was
hailed with enthusiasm by the whig leaders; they I
received the natural offspring of their principles with
open arms; the editor of their principal organ wish
ed. ir ' , God speed," and for a time it bid fair to
supplant the party from which it sprung,
Buoin a short time the editor of the Gazette and
those who went with him in coaxing Nativism af
ter it rendered itself distinguished by burning the
Churches in Philadelphia. discovered that the greet
body of their own party was not as corrupt and law
less as they supposed it to be, and that a large por
tion of theirown fol lowers loathed and abhored the in
cendiaryTaction. With Ibis discovery, the tone of
whig journals and Whig leaders was at once changed,
and instead of wishing the native cause "God speed,"
they denounced it in the strongest language. The
prominent men of the party, who bad joined the asso
ciation with , the hope that it would enablo them to
obtain political distinction, left. It with pretty much'!
the same feelings that induce rats to leavo a sinking
ship, and, no doubt, now, when they see nativism is
powerless, believe, with Mr Peyton, that some of its
prlneiplo‘afte "extreme, proscriptive and unnecs
glary."
Thew trimming politicians are entitled to nn credit
for repudiating the principles of the oath e party

when they discoverthat it'has no influence. They
knew the odious tendency of its doctrines a t the t i m e
they joined it as well as they do now, but they did
not know its weakness. While they thought it pow
erful, Messrs Peyton & Co. could see nothing, in their
proscriptive principles and Church-Lurning progress,
bu t the rure , t pattiotism, but now that it is nipped
in the bud, and crushed beneath the indignation ul
an honest and liberal minded people, they %jail to
make the public believe that they never had any
sympathy for its 'extreme and proscriptive" princi
ples. They will be smart if they succeed in this
piece of deception.
VIRE:MIL LG4l9LATllßP—lßlerefttng Proceed
ings.—We learn front the Richmond Times, that Mun.
day was an interesting day in both branches of the
Legislature on the subject of internal improvements.
In the Senate, the Richmond and Ohio Railroad bill
was passed, after a debate and severalinefectual mu.
Lions to amend, by a vote of twenty two to eight. In
tho House, the question of the "right of way," which
ban been so much discussed in and out of Ow !louse,
was disposed of. The bill for the incorporation of
the Potomac and Ohio Railroad Company, which in
volved this question, was indefinitely postponed, by a
note of 77 to 48. In the House, also, Mr Edmunds,
from the apecialcummittee nn the subject, reported a
bill "accepting by the State of Virginia, the county of
Alexandria, in the Di trier of Col urn Lin, when the
same shell he rosceded by the Congress of the United
States."
Should the Richmond ho con

our city the intercet of our WUdill. It will
form an important link in a connection between the
western notes and the Atlantic'mahoutd, which in a
short time wrth' be peyote.' to take all the cur ruing

The judges and the other gentlemen wishing to see
the body, were conducted to a room where a corpse
lay wrapped in a blanket, but which exhibited no
signs of dissection. This seemed inexplicable; but
no explanation was obtained. One of the citizens
then commenced a search of the room, when a box
was discovered, containing something! A coroner's
jury woe then summoned, which returned a verdict
that the ••deceased died of bilious intermitting fever
prevailiog in the prison, aggravated, if nut superiu•
dr.ced, by severe fftgetlation inflicted before the
tack, by Melanzton W Cory, one of the assistant
keepers in said prison."
Plumb was slow 2(.1 years of age, and is represent
ed to have laboted under occasional fits of insanity.
They Cayuga Patriot, from which this information
is obtained, nod from having heard part of the testi
timonv befoto the coroner, remarks:—.'We do not
think the fd,g L dng would produce death in ordinary
cases; although it might in somestatesuf the system."

MY UM I EN AUNT.
sir - AOIX/s.
My aunt! my dear .tiemarried aunt!
Leng years have o'er bar drawn,
Yet still she strains the aching clasp
That hinds her virgin zone;
I know it hurts her—though she looks
AA cheerful as ahe can;
Her waiit is ampler than her life,
For life but a span.
Mc aunt, my poor deluded aunt!
'Her hair is almost grey;
Why will she train that winter curl
In such a spring like way?
How atm she lay her glasses down,
And say she reads es well,
When through a double convex lens
Shejast makes out spell.
Her father—grandpapal forgive
This caring lip its smiles—
Vowed she would make the finest girl
Within a hundred miles.
He sent her to a stylish school.
'Twas in her thirteenth June;
And with her, as the rules required,
"Two towels and a spoon."
They braced my aunt against a board,
To make her straight and talk
They laced her up, they starved her down,
To make her light and small;
They pinched her feet, they singed her hair,
They screwed it up with pine;
0. never mortal suffered more
In penance for her sins.
So when my precious aunt was done,
My grandslre brought her back;
(By daylight, lest some rabid youth
Might follow on the track;)
"Ald" said my grandsite, as she shook
Some powder in his pan.
"What could this lovely creature do
Against a desperate man."
Ala.! nor chariot, nor barouchc,
Nor bandit cavalcade,
Tore funn tha tremblirtg far bees ann.
El is all accomrliihed maid -
Fur her how happy had it been!

To tee nee sari, ungathered rote

TO CARPENTERS.
THE undersigned would respectfully call the:men
tion of the Carpenters of this city and vicinity
to the opening of his Evening Classes for instruction
Stair Bailing, Shades, Shadows or Per.
sportive
The system practised by the subscriber insures in the
short course of rive simple lessons, a thorough knowl
edge of rho mode of getting cm , every variety of Groat-
ETHICAL STAIR RAILING, which he at the same time
practically illustrates, by suitable models, thus giving
hie pupils a practical knowledge, at the same time
that he imparts the theory.
The experience I have already had and the suc
cess that, in many of the principal cities of the Union,
has attended my efforts as a teethe: embolden me is
defying a critical examination into this system.
The first meeting of my Classes will take place on
Saturday evening, February 7th. at my room, over
Mr. Kinkaid's Tailor Shop, two doors from the Chron
' icle Office, on Fourth street, neer Wood, to which the
young Carpenters generally are invited. .
From numerous flattering certificates in my posses
/lions, I append one from a Pittsburgh Architect and
Builder, that will speak for itself. _ . _
CERTIFICATE
The subscriber has examined the system of teach
ing the principles which guide in the construction of
Hand Rails of Stairs and other similar work, as taught
by Mr. Drake, and believes it to be better than any
other system hitherto employed for that purpose. It
is as simple and demonstrative as anything can be.
indeed, by the use of models, Mr. Drake makes his
nearly the same as the practice of putting up Rails
themselves. No person can fail to succeed in the busi
ness, after taking lessons on Mr. D 's plan.
