Tariff of 1842 va3 again brought on th e
carpet in the hope of catching votes; Gen.
Taylor and Gov. Johnston travelled the
State in the vain effort to keep up the sink
ing cause of whiggery, and Henry M.
Fuller. stumped the State from one end to
the other making bargains with every fac
tion and fag end of a faction who would be
kind enough to listed, to him. But all
their efforts were useless the people were
not to be humbugged a second time. It is
a true maxim "give the whig party power
and they will break their own necks in
six months," and this has been fully veri
fied whenever they have accidentally suc
ceeded in getting control of either the State
or National Administration. This is one
of the reasons, and a very strong one, to
be assigned for our triumph at the late
election. But the News is welcome to
any excuse it can make, we are satisfied
with the triumph which we have achieved.
The Tcaclifr's Magazine
This is the title of a new; magazine just
started in Pittsburg, the first number of
which is on our table. It is very neatly
gotten up, contains thirty-two octavo pa
ges, and is edited with ability and taste.
It is devoted exclusively to moral and lit
erary education, and as a magazine of this

this legal robbery was abolished.
CaOurnew County Commissioner, J.
P. Urban, Esq., has been sworn into office

him by the people of the county with hon.

Andrew Birgoon, Esq., whose term

to an unusual extent this year among the
laborers cn the "Juniata.- The heaviest
sections, however, are done including the
deep rock cut at Newton Hamilton, and
the Tunnel.on the little Juniata, and it is
confidently anticipated: that fuither sec
tion will be opened to Waynesburg ear
ly in the winter; to Huntingdon, in time
for next spring's business; and jo . Holli
daysburg by next summer. This will
bring us by a connction Svjth the. Por
tage, within seventy miles of Pittsburg,
by the turnpike, and one hundred and
eight miles by canal..
The part of tfie western division just
put under contract, will extend .this road
20 miles further westward, and beyond
all the mountain ranges of Western Penn
sylvania. Of this distance 14 miles of
the heaviest work has been assigned to
able and respectable contractors, to be
commenced immediately, and completed
April 1st lsol. The remainder is light
work, and will be commenced in the
spring, together with an additional section
of similar character in connection with it,
which will bring us to the Southern turn
pike, at a point about 40 miles from Pitts
burg, all of which wiU be pushed so as to
be completed simultaneously by the time
above named.
I have just organized corps to make the
final revisions and improvements of the
location between the Loyalhanna and
Pittsburg, with a view of putting the'heav
iest sections cf that portion of. our line
under contract, as the Board bore to have
the meansat their command forthis pur
pose next spring. The lighter sections
will bedelayed until the heavy work has
advanced so far as to permit the whole to
be simultaneously completed, which I
think may be done by the spring of 1S52.
In the course of that year, I fully expect
that our Board will have the pleasure of
inviting the Directors of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company to ride
in our cars from Pittsburg tophiladelph
ia, and I hope that the great work so hap
pily commenced under your auspices, will
be in such a slate of forwardness that you
will be able to reciprocate the invitation
and carry them on your iron river far in
to the fertile region of Centra and West
ern Ohio. I am with great respect,

The election of a United States Senator
for Illinois has resulted in the re-election of
Gen. Shiels, who it will be recollected
was not permitted to take his seat last
winter because he was . not naturalized

Shiels, and 21 for Cyrus Edwards. In
the previous ballot, Breese ran Shiels
close. Shiels was nominated in caucus on

it, and also by the people cf the surround

all hands that it is much needed, that it
would contribute much towards enabling
our citizens to supply themselves with
the necessaries of life, and that it would
be a benefit to both buver and seller?
Then why has it not been erected? Is it
because our oorough is not large enough
to afford it, or are we not able to boast of
sufficient public spirit on the part of cur
citizens? We are of the opinion that it is
owing to neither of these causes, and that
all that is wanting to secure the erection

the part of those who are in the habit of

Awful TrajeJy.
This morning s mail brings us the intel
ligence of a most awful tragedy which
took place in Barnums Hotei, St. Louis,
on the night of the 29th. We have not
room for the particulars, but we will give
a condensed statement of the facts which
we extract from a telegraphic despatch in
the Pittsburg Post of yesterday. It ap
pears that a few days since two young
French gentlemen, calling themselves
Counts Ganzales and Raimondde Monte
squien, arrived in St. Louis form Chicago
and put up at Burnum's Hotel.
Nothing particular was noticed in their
manners until last night, when, about 10
o'clock, P. M., as Mr. Barnum (nephew
of the proprietor,) and J. J. Macomber,
the steward of the house, were retiring,
one of the Frenchman came to a window
on the gallery, and tapped lightly. Bar
num pushed the curtain aside, when the
man on the outside fired a gun, a ball from
which passed through Barnum, and two
buckshot passed through the arm of Ma
comber. At the report of the gun, Albert Jones,
a coach maker, on Third street, who oc
cupied an adjoining room, rushed to the
door of the gallery, when he received a
shot through the head, and fell dead. Two
gentlemen, who had also entered the gal
lery, were struck with buckshot II. M.
Henderson was wounded on the forehead,
W. II. Hubble, of Liber ty, on the arm.
The assailants were immediately pursu.
ed to their room and after a severe struggle
were secured.

ed and letters found in them which proved
them to be Parisians of wealth and family.
Together with splendid equipments, they

both refuse to employ counsel, and say

finitely preferable to specific duties, or du
ties levied on goods according to quantity,
weight or measures. In this later way, a
thousand cigars, that were purchased in
Havana for $100, pay no higher duty than
cigars that were bought at $10 a thousand
Acask of Claret that cost 6200 in Bord
eaux, will be charged with no more duty
at the custom house than a cask that cost
$15orS20.
This plan is manifestly unjust. It fa
vors the rich man, because his luxuries
are taxed no higher than the poor man's
necessaries. Thus tea at S5 a pound pays
no more than tea at 50 cents the same
thing of sugar, coffee, wines of all kinds,
cigars. Cannel coal at $2 a barrel pays
no more duty than the common quality
used by blacksmiths.
Mr. R. J Walker, in one of his reports
to Congress, puts the case of the State law
which should exact the same amount
of taxation on a marble palace that is ex
acted from a poor man's dwelling that was
built for $200. Extravagant as this sup
posed case may seem, it is really in strict
accordance with the principle of specific
duties.
SI Louis Convention
The proceedings of the St. Louis Rail
road Convention possess but little interest
to the general reader. On the 18th Judge
Treat of Missouri, offered the following
resolutions which were adopted:
Resolved, That as an important means,
as necessary and preliminary to the con
struction of a great trunk railroad to the
Pacific ocean in California, it is the first du
ty of the American Congress, immediately
on its assembling together, to make pro
vision for the establishment of military
posts, from the western coufines of our
western States to the Pacific ocean. That
these posts should be established numer
ously in all proper places, not far distant
from each other; and that civilized and
productive settlements should be encour
aged around them by liberal sales or grants
of the public lands, and by extending am
ple protection to the settlers.
Resolved, That the Congress of the U.
States be memorialized to construct, or
authorize the construction of a national
line of telegraph along the route which
may be determined upon by national au
thority for the great railway to the Pacific
said line of telegraph to be constructed
in connection with the military posts

FOREIGN NEWS.
Turkish Character
It was said by Gibbon, most truly that
the Turks have, since the period of the
Conquest encamped not settled in Europe.
They amount to a fourth or a third, at the
utmost of the population ot thatpartot the
Sultans dominions. They are scattered
in very unequal proportions over its sur
face. In some parts they forma tolerably
thick agricultural population; in others as
at Constantinople itself, they are engaged
in the trades and manufactures of a large
city.
But nowhere do they exercise those ex
tended operations of skill and thought,
which bring men together, cause them to
rely upon each other, give them the habit
of combined peaceful action, and impart to
them the intelligence and energy on which
alone a strong commonwealth is built up.
The Armenians are their bakers; the Jews
are their dealers; the Greeks are their
merchants. The very organization of the
people seems to have denied them those
finer qualities, both mental and corporeal
which fit them for the superior branches
of industry. A I urk s fingers, Dr W alsh
quaintly observes, seems to be all thumbs;
he has no manual dexterity for any delib
erate employment, and his mind is as unfit
for subtile operations of the body.
The Turks neither write norprint (with
the exceptions of bombastic poetry and
more bombastic history.) They do not
build but destroy. 1 hey show no wish
to adore the soil which they inhabit, or to
connect in any way, the existence of the
present generations with prosperity.
Their object in this world seems to be
mere animal existence, as completely as
that of the beasts of the field. The reli
gious sense is deep, enduring, exalted, but
it is a religion which deadens andstupifies
the intellectual faculties.

Napoleon's Tomb.
The tomb of Napoleon at St. Helena is
for sale! It is offered to the highest bid
der, through the columns of the St Helena
Gazette, in the following advertisement:
"Sale of Napoleon's Tomb. Valuable
Landed Property. For sale, the estate
called Napoleon's Vale, comprising the
dwelling house and the tomb, with about
twenty -eight acres of fine arable land, the
whole formerly let on a lease, to Mrs. R.

near the tomb, and entered upon from the

Grand Marshal's Retreat.' " We presume
that the removal of the body of Napoleon
has deprived the tomb of its value as a
show. No one cares to look upon the
place where the dead emperor is ho,

utilitarian age. The bones on the field of
Waterloo were sold to make manure of,
and why not sell the tomb of the chief

The Turkish and Russian Dijlcutl
Pending the decision'of the Emperor e
Russia upon the ' a ppeal "made to hira re
specting the extradition of the Hungarian
refugees, the English papers containmany
reports respecting . the probabilities con
cerning the issue, but of course nothing
definite can be arrived at until the resolu
tion of the Emperor and his Imperial
Council shall be made known. The re
ply of the Emperor, which was expected
with the most intense anxiety, would.it
was thought, reach - the Turkish Capital
obout the 10th or 12th October.
Apprehending that the decision of the
Czar might be a declaration of war, the
Porte was exceedingly impatient to learn
the effects produced upon the Cabinets of
London and Paris, by the bearing of .their
representatives at the Sublime Porte.
A large fleet of steamers is collecting in
the waters of the Bosphorus, and ta the
harbor of the Golden Horn; and between
the entrance of the Black Sea aud the Pro
pontis, and the Sea of Marmora, there are
twelve ships of the line, at anchor, fully
equipped, and plentifully supplied with
arms and provisions.
In the army of 100,000 soldiers assem
bled around the capital, drilling and re
viewing were going on from daylight to
dusk.
A letter of the 25th ult. states, that, be"
fore entering the Turkish territory, official
assurances were given to Kossuth, that he
and his fellow refugees, were welcome,
and should be allowed to proceed to any
part of the world.
A considerable number of refugees have
been put on board of American corvettes
and the French steamer L'Averin. Their
destination is said to be Greece.
Kossuth has written a very eloquent
letter on his present position to Lord Pal-
merston, which is published entire in the
English journals.
rrom Widden the news is somewhat
startling. It appears that Amillah had

been sent to urge the refugees to embrace
lslamism, and has not been unsuccessful.
Kossuth, Dembinski, Guvon. Zamovski.
and others, all swore that no person should
induce them to apostacy. Bern had no
such scruple.
The most unwelcome feature of the
news from Turkey is, that those pashalics
in Europe, which are partly Greek and
pardy Turkish, are in a state of great fer
ment, in consequence of the threatened
rupture between Turkey and Russia.
Under the influence of the Russian emis
saries, chiefly members of the Greek
church, these vassals of the Sultan betray
ed a serious intention of taking advantage
of the present opportunity, to get up a re
