THE '"NOTICE" IN TIIE SENATE.
A careful considerathei of the news by the latest
rind has impressed trsenew and more deeply with the
impottance;sethe site) importance-0f prompt and
firm action in the Senate in the adoption of the "no
tics," withata /.4.c clause urging , compromise.
ILLs to be regretted that a strong vote of Congress
'approving the rejection of urhitration by the Execu
tive could net have reached England by the same
ship which hmelvties intelligence that arbitration had
been declined. Sinter/nee in France, in England,
bens. and everywhere, have seen from the first that an
offer to arbitrate was, in the nature of the case, wholly
t ua da t i ii ihipt but the people of England oeed same
positive assurance that the opinion of this country, in
solar as the spirit of party gives it, free play, is almost
staan.imees in-its approval of the rejection of that
mode of procedure--a procedure to eateries, not to
adjust the controversy. The noble vole of the House
upon the "notice"—a vote in every way worthy of the
representatives of America, and in no respect more
admirable than in its forgetfulness tea very great ex-
tent of the dividing lines of party—that vote is. indeed
a most influential sanction of the course oftbe Presi
deist. Still, if the ~.ice of the Senate could st the
mtme time have been heard in unison with that of the
House; and speaking with equal decision, our position
would thereby have been greatly euningthected.
For, it is manifest enough now that the whole clamor
of the most hostile portion of the British prime—of
that press which represents the opinion of the part of
the British public most reluctant to tecogoise our
rights inOregon—the whole cry of this part of the
press sentres on the division which has appeared, or
se expected to appear, in our councils. It is this
apparent schism among orirselves in a manner wholly
mitionnl,that now complicates the whole affair, and
makes it more perilous.
Contrast with our divisirma end hesitations as in
"our line 01 vsnliey that entire unnnimity of the British
i r a t e .men of all parties on this Tut/trine from Ulla to
1345. T 3 trlng that period, the British title, taking

were appointed said Committee, who after some time,
by their chairman, J C Plumer, reported the
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That the passage of said bill in the Sen
ate at the present Session, was the act of enlightened
policy, such as might be expected from the Senate of
Pennsylvania; it was carrying out the plighted faith
of the State towards theSolithwestern tier of counties
That faith which was pledged by the actof 1828, and
which stands as *acted as the faith of the Counties
stand, pledged in common with the state to pay the
public debt; repudiate the one and you would have us
'pay our state tax. grudgingly if et all, but our foreign
stockholders shall be paid every cent, white the bond
holders is Philadelphia, continuing their efforts to
defeat said bill, wilt lessen theit claims on us. Thut
we tender our grateful acknowledgements to those
Senators who hare faithfully sustained and passed the
hill in that body, and regret that any portion of thus
Hor.orable body did justify the opposition to so im
portant and justifiable a measure.
Resolved, That we confidently expect the passage
of said bill in the Hews of Representatives, as an act
of goad faith on their part, and we recommend the
passage of any and every act, granting the right of
way, or incorporating any company to build or con
struct a Railroad. Guarding the right of the citizen,
but in no case creating any liability of indebtedness
on the part of the state, have been too long yielding
to the narrow selfish policy of Philadelphia.
Resolved. That though the Philadelphians have
daily In their view the building in which the Patriots
of 76 proclaimed to the world that the Briush . Eing
"refused his assent to laws most wholesome and ne
cessary fur the public good," they in a spirit more
selfish still, and perfectly in keeping with the tyranny
and oppression lA our British aocestors, refuse their
assent to the passage of an act, for tbe accommoda
tion and interests of the whole waiters. part of our
State, simply because the passage of said ant would
bring us in some measure on as equality with all op
posing interests.
Resolved. That any influence whether open or

Is are Moose of Repreaentalioea, Merck 9,1816
Oe the bill making appropriations for certain har
bors and rivers.
The House being, in Committee of the Whole on
the slam of the Union
I have already, said Mr Sreterne, alluded to the
fact, that the government is new building a steam
frigate at Pittsburgh, It was the highest wisdom
that dictated this messute, and a proper furesight
will merle° the potty to he continued.
In future. sir, as the necessities of the emintry shall
require them, whole Beets of such vessels will be con
structed at Memphis. and perhaps et other points in
the Great West, reedy to descend, fully equiped and
matured, to the Gulf of Mexico, and capable of defend
lug and protecting the commerce of that immense eel
ley. I r , peat, this Is the soundest and wisest policy.
Ten millions of people now inhabit that valley. Soon
its population will far outnumber that of the Atlantic
States. Thirty six thousand miles of navigable rivers
—s distance that will reach once round the globe, and
and half round again—are teeming with a breve and
hardy nee of boatmen inured teal! the labors sod per
ils of the navigation, and better acquainted with the
steam-engine than any ober peopleinthe world. It is
indispensable to bring our navy in contact with this
population.
The strength and popularity o(the navy regaine it—
!be successful defence of the country requires it—the
interests and expects/lions of the busy and teeming
millions of the Weat, demand it. These who control
the destinies of this nation, the gallant officers of the
navy themselves, will be blind indeed if they fail to are
precious the force of the frets to which I have merely
alluded. Men. provisiorts, anti mates hats of all kinds
abound in that favorite region; and that class of Yell -
Deis. *WA. in Brune naval wars, will be morn useful
, than line-of-battleships can ever he, may be conetruce
ed there, with is much facility and cheapness as in any
.other part of the country Locking to the necessary
,policy of the government in this respect—a policy to
which the government it already fully communed by the
operations at Pittsburgh and at Memphis, it. is impoe
chic to dispute the power of the government to Int
-1 price tit 11 , 0 a, or to deny the policy of exercising
that power et the present time.
I have already argued that the government tri . ght
remove any obstructions in the Ohio or Mississippi
river, necessary to enable tire Allegheny now building,
nt Pittsburgh, to go safely not tulle gulf. If it cratild
,do this in the emergency proposed, could it not do so
prespec 11 I imagine it would not be necessary to
I soul nutit the vessel should be in danger, before the
p Burr could Ire exerted. The govemmem might ex
(curie, • sari mill fore.ight, and rib, iate the difficulty
,fore the ernergenry bad actually arisen. And if it
could remove one difficulty, it could remove a thou
, sand, and if it could de this one month before the ves
sel shoald sail, it might do it ten years before tie oc-.
casion should arise In short, air, the government
might render the nevigetion of the river easy and se
cure, in order that it migHt enjoy the advantage when•
ever the defence of the country should require the re-
MoVal of her ships, or thetranspettation of men,am
unition. and supplies.
It will not be donbted, air, that If, in the actual e
merge- ey cf war, the arcuate of the co u ntry. should
require a canal to be co t front the Miesissippi river
to the lakes, either to float our vessels through or to
trry men, arms and In OValiOnSt government would
have (towel to do the work. But the voice of wisdom,
universally acknowledged, teaches us that in peace
we inastprepare fee war. If, in the exigencies of
actual hostilities, we may construct such a work. may
we not likewise do it recspectively, es a pmeautione
ry measurel May we not prepare for the security
red defence of tbeeountry in any manner in which pre
dent foresight may require us to doh', It matters not
what may be the Character of the work, or how much
commerce may be encouraged and waged by it, if it
be certainly vahrsble (or the defence of the oonatry,
it must be within the constitutional power of the gov
ernment.
But it will be objected that this principle, broadly
stated as it is, wurilti comprehend local improvements
,as well as those of a national character. Bet I resist
the objection. Na man can say dim a mere local ten
' pruvernent would become necessary even in time of
war. It could not be anticipated with any Certainly,
or even probability, that au isolated toad or smtel
eteum would become material or important in the
movement of armies and tiavies during actual hostili
ties. But with regard to the 'Mississippi river and it.
great tributaries—with regard to the lakes—no man
will dispute that it is alualiotely rennin they must
must be the chann , Is of communios lion and transpor
tation indispensable to the government in war.
This absolute and indispensable necess ity, r„„,,,„
and acknowledged by all, constitutes tire iiresistable
chitin of these great •inland seas" to the fustet ing curie
land improving bat dof the government. The distinr
non hetes-en national and local works is coefesserily
one of great difficulty, to which the application of any
It leer and d, finite principle is scarcely possible. Yet
1, there is a distinction always susceptible of being as
( cettained, pro. ided the judgement be honestly•pplied.
without any bias from Iota! or sectional interests
Deliviog the power to make improvements solely
from their importance in the defence of the country,
I think the principle i have attempted to state reason•
ably clear and defininte, '1 he wee k must he of such
magnitude and importance in itself. or in its connex
ion., that we can pronounce with certainty upon its
'twines* earl necessity in time of war. If we cannot
thus pronouree, the work would not be within the
power of the general government.
The defensive operations of this government, its ar.
men and navies, are subservient to she commercial
interests of the country; and are designed chiefly for the
protection of thesis interests. There is an intimate
febrile/1 between them. And it seems to ma that the
distribution of burdens for the improvement of the
country upon the principles I now advocate, is just and
reasonable. It belongs to the States and to private
capital—to the means afforded by extensive commerce
—to construct those innumerable local works of im•
movement, whab pour their immense contributions
into the great national channels of trade. These local
works, nn account of their number, are far more costly
the n those great national works, which, in the nature
of things, are comparatively few in number. In time
o f war the government will derive advantage from both.
It is just and proper that it should therefore contribute
in some way to the accomplishment of that from which
it receives advantage. It can thus contribute, only,
as I believe, in the way proposed, by applying its
means to those more important improvements, which
in their greatness are worthy of the power and glory
of the within. The government leans upon the wel
fare of the people, and derives strength from their
prosperity; let it contribute in some degree to that
which supperts it, at least in those things which are
beyond the moans of States and individual citizens.
M the Public ben r in mind, 'lint Scarlet Fe
ver, and other complaints incident to sudden changes
of the weather. are peculiarly prevalent at this season
of the year. Thousand. of children, and many persons
of mature age, are dying weekly, because they over.
look the only medicine which is infallible in diseases
of that kind. That mad icine is Clickner's Sugar Cos
tea Vegetable Purgative Pills, which have been nun
ceesful in cases of the greatest obstinacy, and where
■I lot her remedies had proved unavailing. Physicians
of the highest eminence, have prescribed them in their
practice, and they have been highly recommended by
a committee of the American Institute, appointed to
investigate their : merits. Let those «be have never
used them consent to make a single trial, and they
will never have cause to regret their determinstion.—
In case of failure, if such a thing is possible, the money
will in all cases be returned.

0111C5,07 THE CANTOII Tr.A COMIPANT,
" New Yo k, March 16, 1846
To eke inkaSi4ints of Pittsburgh, Allegiany, and
Ike surrounring eourary.
etkUßatiention has this day been directed to et afi.
1..) , title that appeared in the "Pittaburgh Daily
Astericao," under date of sth March instant, heeded
as above—and which has also appeared subsequently,
its several of the Pittsburgh newspapers. •We basse4.,.
t. , reply thereto.
We find that through these media we are successisso r
ly charged with flagrant violations of the principles
.1 - truth and jestice; but we are prepared to give ynu
triumphant vindication of our character. We,howst
er, exceedingly regret that in so doing, are shall hays
to allude to our respected convraporat les the "Pea.
Tel Company of New York"—their position—their
history, and their manner of doing business will new
ceasarily, in come degree, have to come under =nth%
nation. All that we can do is to endeavor to keep
the following developments within the limits of your
neighborhood; out of which locality, we trust, for the
credit's naked winsn it way concern, the questions
at issue may remain undi-cussetl. Far from having
a malicious intention its what we aro about to divulge,
we do so merely from the very justifiable motive of
self protection—we would fin render good form/it;
this we solemly declare. Taking 111/ Laudable stand
we reply,' first, to the charge as follows:.
"'They (The Canton Tea Company) have publish.
eel a handbill, in which they have appropriated. word
for word, the favorable notices of the Pekin Comp'.
oy'stea, in all the leadirg journals of New York, and
other cities, simply altetiog the name of tie Company
from the Pekin to the Canton Teu Company."
1 And farther down in the column this charge is re
posted, though modified as follows:
This hsndbill bears tho impress of the Company,
and appears to have been is+und, if nut by it, at lent
upon its authority."
N ow we deny Cr.! , is:ring—eve deny ever author.
izing—we deny ever perusing such a handbill....
Truly we cannot always control the actions of our
agents, at a remote distance, in relation to the meth.
ods they employ to facilitate the sale of our Teas; but
as soon as we discover any thing improper in this re
spent. we invariably discountenance it, and urge that
a strict regard to honor and uprightness might charms.
terise all the means they use for their disposition....
By one of our remote Agents, probably, the handbill
in question may have been issued. but we deny :hal it
ever had our sanction or authority.
We cannot, however, dismiss this subject eitheat
touching upon the morality of these notices. They are
represented ns eminating, sponta=ously. from the
Editors of New York and other Newspapers, and to
arise from an impression oldie great commercial HY.
rangernents. and general appreciat io n of the teas of
the Pekin Tea Company. We beg leave to set yap
right on that subject. We are prepared to prove-, ma
oath if required, that every favorable notice in the
Neu- York papers, referred to, were WRITTEN by
the Pekin Tea Compsny THEMLIE3, and that almost
in every case the said New York papers were PAM,
fur their insertion. When thiF was not literary the
Care, the said ..favoroble notices" were inserted in
co Isideration of an expensive advertisement being be
stowed upon the papers wherein such editorialseßpear
ed. All this we are prepared to prove—fit st=by the
admission of one of their own Agents (Homilton)—
Aecondly. by the advertising Agent they formerly 191/1.•
played—thirdly, by rho testimony of must of the New
York Editors themselves. So much fur their "favor
able notices in the public prints."
The method we adopted in prosecuting our business
being essentially at variance with any modification of
deceptian, we never resort to the publicerion of such
notices. Every business man in Now York is well or.
quainted b the origin as well as the merits, 01 attar
awing to which its mil tity here has long
ricer Cer , ell, and it rather dimini•hes than adds totho
respectability of any New York establishment.
We next review the paragraph wherein we ere
. charged ss fraudulent imitators of the Pekin Com.
pany. It will he found nearly at the bead of the said ar
ticle. It reads as follows:
is well known to moat of our readers that the.
itikin Tea Company of New York, an asenciation of
heavy capitalist s of that city, have established agent
cies is Pekin and Canton fur the purposeof selec t i n g
Teas. and putting them up there, from whence they
are shipped slirect to the Company at New York.—
, Thetas teas have obtained a high reputation. and have
become the subject of frequert notices in the public
prima. The success o: this Cornpany hat induced
the organization or another called the 'Canton Tea
Company,' tal, admit that they at— not imponers.but
purchase their fear f.orn the promi,ctious arrivals in
New York, where they are put tip in a manner to im.
irate those of the Pekin Tee Company."
Novi, in the latter part of this paragraph is stated s
fa/se/wed so glaring, that an attempt to support it in
any Atlantic city would subject any editor to universal
ridicule, and in New York he would be regarded tu •
consummate knave, if not an absolute madman. We
am astonished to find that any Pittsburgh editor, haw.
leg access (as must necessarily be the case) to New
York journals for years past, can be so deplorably iv - ,
norant of the fact thecae. Canton Tea Company lulu
been establiskedin Nem York sivc TEAR3!—.l3Balso,
that the Pelin Company have only existed Tv 'ELT'
stostrusl—and that the latter honse was establisitd
wholly is consequence of the success and reputalicoa
of the former. Here then is a fraud truly unblushing
—nay, verily abominable.
We are also reflected on as being an inferior eas
tern. because '-we select our Teas from the promiscu—
ous cargoes which arrive." flow much mare corn
mendable to come out with the plain truth than to
resort to such vile falsehoods as appeur in the begin.
!ling of the parag raph now under review. The word*,
are "The Pekin Tea Company of New York, in aura.
dation of heavy capitalists in that city." &c...-(Let
the reader refer.) Is it possible that the inhabitants
of Pittsburgh can swallow all this! In this city (New
York) every rounting•house lad. of fourteen years al.
knows better. Let any individual who would serial) ,
himself on the cubject, refer to the files of the Courier
