JOHN BIGIPER, Editor
PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, MAY 2.3, 1846
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
WILLISB.; FOSTER, jr,
- COVNTY.
Very Prudent.
The editor of the Gazette has wisely determin
ed:to abandon his "efforts to' prove that - the Ameri
can government is the ;aggressor in the Mexican
war. This, we must bay., we, regard as a
very wise determination on his part, but so- far
as' are concerned we regret it exceedingly. The
"timings and twistings? of the inflated Deacon,
during the prei t ent week; have been to us a source
of, great _-e great The vanity and conceit of
the:fellow led him into a scrape, and his awkward
efforts to extricate himself were as ludicrous as
the. tivistings of the clown M the circus to escape
the .lash of the ring master.
.But, to be serious, :the-Deacon, if he is a can
did man, and a lover of his country, as he profess
ex to be, shOuld - at once - Correct the false statements
which he . has made. in" the Gazette—he should
without delay frankly say to his readers that he was,.
in error in reference to the territory upon which
Gen. Taylor is encamped. -lie should, moreover,
mite to his fellow-citizens that the - American gov
enlntent-is:in the right and that Mexico is the
aggressor. All this he should do as a cheer act of
justice to his . omM country, the fair fame of which
ltie statements were calculated to.sully and cover
with dishonor.-
Win of Mexico against 11► e United States.
Tlta President of Mexico has isstied a long-Proc
lamation, addresSed to , -
Mexican' nation,. dated
"National Palace of Mexico,April .'23, 18-iti."
.Pated;!s complains about the annexation of Texas,
and the invasion of Territory which Mexico
claims as.her own. • In reference to -the war he
outragessaYs;'" SO multiplied; and so.. hard, could
nOt..any longer be -tolerated, and I have given or
ders to the general-hi-chief of - the division 'on our
frintier of the neith,.thdt he wage hastilities" (hi
otitexwords, attack) "against the army which is
waging them against usi that he give war for an
anzwerto the enemy who is making wax upon us;
and that; invoking the Gbd of battles, 'to vindicate
the . ,Valor of our 'soldiers; the unquestionable right
to our territory; mid the honor of • arms which are
to be vielded only in defence of jastiee." And,
3 :fiermakiiig, other assertions, he adds-. "From this
day. begins our deferuire war, and every point of our
territory invaded ,or attacked shall be valiantly de
fended." . ,
The IYaghington Union in referring to the Proc
lamation, says "now we' see with what propriety
the opponents of the recent act of our
,Congress
object to the language of its preamble, and how
consistent it is with the facts of the case for them
to declare it to be false, as the preamble states it,
that War exists with Mexico, and that this war
had been begun by Mexico.''
QThere were but fire expresses on Wednesday
afternoon from the city, to bring in the Mexican
news. The excitement at the darn on the arrival
of the boat was decidedly funny; and then, when
theytot the'papers, to fee the riders make horse
flesh sager ; to say nothing, of the manner in which
they -made the dust Ily, was very exeiting.—,

Public :Sleeting
According to previous notice, a large meeting of
the Mechanics and Workihg Alen of Lawrenceville
wag-held at the School HOuse on Tuesday evening,
May, 1846, for the purpose of exchanging opinions
With regard to theirhest interest and political mat
ters generally. • -
-
"The meeting was organized by calling William
D. Moore, Esq. to the Choir, H. Powel and F.
Barlitt were chosen Vice: Presidents, and R. H.
: Peering, Sec'y.
The following gentlemen were t:elected to draft
resolutions, - -&c., -expressire of the sense of the
„meeting: Hiram Powel, J. L. Watson and F.
Bartlett. After a short intermission the commit
tee returned and presented the following preamble
and resolutions which were read and adopted by
acclamation:
'W . :starts An Address: has been issued by our'
- w
felloworkingmen" of Pittsburgh, calling mien the
lliiechanics and Workmen of Allegheny county to
arouse from the Political le,thargy in which they
have so long slumbered, and to think and act for
themselves, in such a manner as will be calculated
to promote their interests and secure their inde
pendence' and no longer trust their destinies in the
hands of designing knavesand selfish, unprincipled
demagogues,
Therefore, Resolved, Thai we,
the Mechanics and
`Workingmen of the Borough of Lawrenceville
and . Allegheny Arsenal do heartily respond to the
- address and fully appreciate its ohjeet,-feeling rea
dy and willing at any time to unite in any honor
able move or measure that may appear calculated
to elevate tabor and place it in a position to which
it rightfully.elongs.
Resolved, That an enormous state debt, a fluctu
ating currency, the rapid increase of poverty and
crime, together with the barefacecland scandalous
practice of controlling Legislative action by bri
be" fully admonish us of the immediate necessity
of hurling from office such unworthy servants, and
sending to our Legislative'Halls, honest men, with
feelings and interests, in unison with our own.
Resoked, That this meeting highly appreciate
the noble stand taken by the journeymen engine
builders, blacksmiths and: otherii of the city of
- Pittsburgh in the ten hour systeifi, and that it is a
duty incumbent on all 'Mechanics and Working
.meniii every - department of life to manfully ob-
tam the same.
Resolved, That this meeting repudiate the base
system of Mechanical lahor, as being performed
in our Petitentiary, that it is subservient of the
best interest of the honest mechanic -and places
him in competition with the murderer, assassin and
highwaymen.
Resolved, That the workingmen arise from their
lethargy, and rescue their . vital interest from the
fangs of a reckless arristocracy, who has caused
crime to raise his infamous head in our penitentia
ry, and prostrate the virtuous energies of an hon- 1
at and hard working people.
,35th. Watson was then called fur, and addres-ed
the meeting with eloquence upon the different sub
jects that are highly important to the Illechanic I
and Working-men. Other gentlemen addressed the
meeting, after which it avas resolved that the pro- I
ceedinge of the meeting be signed by the officers of'
-the meeting, and Tablished in•:all: the papers in
Pittsburgh, that are friendly'. to the Cause.

strange, indeed, if Brother Jonathan's pride does
not get a fall. But for the pacific arid Christian poli

cause, all these deficiencies would, we are NVell Sat:

manfully defend their own firesides than Ameri

naught—absolutely naught. By cunning and ad

seized upon their inheritence; but - these are their
only effective weapons, and when they throw them
aside, abandon their .masterly inactivity," and the
musket, downfall of the stripes and stars—the dis
solution of their national confederation—will not
be far distant.
As knowing and unscrupulous traders, they may
yet juggle both Great Britain and Mexico out of
as valuable territories as Michigan and Texas, (to
neither of which magnificient countries they had
the slightest legal claim,) but let thermonce throw
aside the mask, and, scorning even the appearance
of justice, conic forth with unbl&hing front, to
seize, with the strong hand, the prMierty of others

a number' of letters by the steamer Florida; the
contents of most of thbm, however, have been an

from camp—when he was taken prisoner by a
Mexican picket-guard. Gen. Ampudia is endeav

the treatment of his prisoners.
Thi: Picayune contains the following letter, the
lateSt receivettdated Fort Taylor, May 4 . , at 2 0,-

Extract of a &Err rarity(' in this city to-day.
"The people of Yucatan, it appears now, are in
earnest in throwing off the yoke of the central
government, are' detennined to invoke the aid of
the United States to effect this. The bearer of the
demand from Gen. Paredes, (I aril advised,) upon
the Yucatan government for its quota of troops to
operate against us, was indignantly ordered to leave
Merida immediately, for that the only troops that
Yucatan would furnish, would be to operate against

ducted by directors, in whose prudence, integrity and
good faith they can readily ascertain whether they
may'repose that undoubted security which should:
ever attend an assurance, transaction.
To persons whose properly has already been 'dam
aged or destroyed by fire or water, the advantage, of
personally adjusting the loss with an institution ki;
11021Ei will bestrikingly evident. To those who +suffer
ed by the Great Fire, this particular corporation needs
no recommendation. The prompt payment of the
whole amount of its lossess.--nraaty.rvro nunniase

of future security. -
It id the part of all prudent men, however t forte.
nate, to anticipate calamity for the purpose of avoid
ing its effects. •To such as have hitherto escaped,as
well as to those who hive sustained loss, the facility
of protection and indemnity, offered by , this indite..

reflections , and regrets which must be experienced'
bythose who suffer without hope of restitution.
