KlacK. Msetiso or Bio leu Club No. 1, N. L. The Young Mens Bigler Club No. 1, of the North era Liberties, Philadelphia, .held a large an J enthusiastic meeting at the Commissioner Hull, yn Tuesday evening, 17th..inst., and from the spirit evinced, it gave an earnest of the enthu siasm with which the campaign will be carried oil ani the triumph which awaits the Democ racy. Col. Samuel W. Black, in response to a gene ral call, then appeared ou the stand and ad tlressed the meeting. - We, of course, do not pretend to give . even an idea of what he said, as every one who has had the good fortune to hear him knows how difficult it is to embody in a general report, his brilliant and beautiful ex pressions. Wc Will, therefore, confine ourselves to the substance. Taking.up a glase that stood en the desk, he filled it to the brim with bright &nd sparkling water, and said "So every De mocrat should take the ticket, and drink it Jown, end I am much mistaken if he does not nnJ it as healthful and refreshing as this clear, jure drink. My friend that has just finished," said he, "and also the friend who preceded him, soke of 'rolling vp,' in" October, an old-fa-sbijned Jackson majority; now, if they will alhw me to correct them, I would say, we will op'.n out an old-fashioned Jackson majority, so that such a one may be Been - once more by the people of the State and the Union. We are approaching an important election, and we have something to say to each other. There is something to do, and we should be ac tive in doing it. I will therefore speak to yon of the ticket. It may be thought that I have some feeling on this subject, and I have; and having this feeling, I say to yon that it is hardly probable that the Democracy of Pennsylvania could have made better nominations. . Who have we for Governor? A man who had no one but God to depend on for what he is, so tur as human agency is concerned; he has made his own-fortune, and his own fame. Wo Uve Cel. V.'w. Bigler. And if they a&-'t who Mr. Bigler is, we can tell them he is the Sus quehanna Raftsman. Iu reference to the Judicial ticket, he said that he knew Judge Lowrie well, as he was a Western man. He had practised law with liim, ml before him, and could say that he was a sjun 1 lawyer, an able judge and an excellent man, and fit to be raised by any party to any j'i licial position. He then referred to his namesake Black, to Lewis, and to Gibson. In reference to the lat ter, when he said that in 1828 Judge Gibson healed the Jackson electoral ticket, the state ment was received with great applause. The speaker then came to the name of Judge Campbell, and at the first mention of it, the meeting broke out into a spontaneous cheer. In reference to the religious war made upon him, Col. Black said, 'ho had a right to speak." He was the son of an oi l. Scotch Presbyterian preacher, wha practical trtj .the. faitt that was in him, and . held still living in his heart, when hi eyes had closed, upon the world, and when. Ll julse gave no response to the touch of affection., ile thought, thereforo, that upon this subject he had a right to 6peak. .They tell us that JuJge Campbell must not be "elected, because he is a Catholic ; and they tell this to whom? Why to us, the children of the Pilgrims who Bed before the religious intolerance of an es tablished chureh to plant freedom for religion here. Why these gentlemen who denounce the i roscriptioh that in the days of the Pilgrims would admit no one but those of one faith to uold office, turn to us iu the' same breath and 4y that Judge Campbell must not go upon the Bench, because ho is a Catho! Why should a 0tholic - be proscribed f When was the time, in our hours of trouble, that they were not truo to us! Hare seen . something of their trath and good faith. I VHl tell you an Incident that, I have no doubt,' there are twenty here even my Quaker friend, there, among 'them to bear witness to. While our army was in Mexico, I noticed that one of the soldiers near me walked away very often, in the morning, in company ith a Mexican. At last I spoke to him about it. and asked what it meant. He said, "I go to church with him Ah," said I; "that is what I feared." "Docs he ever ' speak to you about the urmy?' .Ycs 8ai(1 hc .ue ha3 asked me o desert ..weu rhatdid ou S3y to Uiat j -I told him," said he, "thai!

Black wa3 warmly applauded through his whole speech, and concluded amidst a storm of cheers. rJnnylcanian. Wagon and the Tariff. The Boston Times, in an article on the subject of the Tariff, replieg to a long article in the Atlas, in which the subjects of tariff, wages and pauperism are involved, and makes, the follow ing sensible remarks : "A nation, as all know except the silly pro tectionists, must but If it desires to sell. ' This talk about producing and not buying is utter nonsense. Why do men produce? In order that they may buy, to be sure. They do not produce in order that they may hoard up their productions, or live altogether on them. A pretty business would the men of Lynn make of it if they wore to e.it three meals a day off their boots and shoes ; iand much good would it do to them to have whole warehouses full of these articles to prevent them from indulging in the luxury of bujing of that "wicked crea ture, the foreigner. How would our fishermen like it, if they were not allowed to dispose of their fish, because to buy is ruinous to any one who does it, and it is impossible to avoid buy ing if one is so singularly vicious aa to sell ? No, the fisherman must eat his own fish, the tailor wear his own clothes, the farmer munch his own hay, and the apothecary swallow his own compounds, for it is to ruin one's self to sell what one produces, the transaction imply ing that one buys. We advise the publishers of the Atlas to try their much-loved theory in their own business. Let -them print their dull concern for a month without disposing in any way of one copy, and see what will be Jbc jv e aH" Tiie cdecir" wil bo exactly what woula follow from the protection system being carried among nations to its ultimate consequences." The Lynn Bay1 Stats copies the foregoing paragraph from the Times, and appends to it the following: "It is a fact that has never yctr been gain said or explained away, that in those countries' where there is the most "protection," or the highest tariffs on the necessaries of life, there is the most pauperism, mcry and destitution." And it is reasonable that it should be so; for a tariff never was made for the benefit of the producing classes. The capitalist, the manu facturers, the landholders, alone have reaped the benefit indeed arc the only ones who can Teap the benefit of a high tariff. It is a fa vorite Whig maxim, that if we "take care of the rich, the rich will take care of whicli means, simply, Ihatlf the po the poor" poor will work for whatever wags the rich win give," they may perhaps keep from starving,; if not, they may go to the work -house or the grave, ho matter which." Euai rights, eijual legislation for all, no favoritism, no special legislation, no "pro tection," to make tha rich" .richer and" the poor poorer, is the true Democratic doctrine," And the people cf the old world as. well as the new are' beginning to understand it, and the great humbug of "protective tariff" - will yet be looked upon as a relic of the dark ages." A First Rate Speech. At the celebration at Dunkirk, on the occasion of the opening of the Erid Rail Road, after the President and other big "pale faces" had made speeches, Dr. Wilson, a Cayuga Chief of con siderable "notoriety addressed the multitude.' We beb'evceit wa3 pretty generally admitted fo be the best fpe?!ch-ff the day.

Gentlemen hayc boasted here to-night about Democracy; but Democracy was established here long before tho pale face came upon these shores. My ances tors were Democrats long before tho arts of civilization drove them from" their hunting grounds and the quiet possession of their for est homes. (Cheers.) The orator from Ken tucky who addressed you to-night, said that the pale faces - came here a mere handful, and had grown to be a great nation; but he forgot to tell you that when they landed "upon these shores, helpless and in want, the red man fed them with tho milk of human kindness ; - that he took them' to his wigwam, spread, before them Ms amplest hospitalitieeand entertained them as brothers. , Cheers.)

Cut I trust the spirit of my ancestors look down with pride upon the doings of the mighty pale face. They cannot but be proud to see him accomplish his great destiny; to seo him fly from hill to valley, and ride upon the : wings of the lightning. (Cheers.) If the New York" Tribune is to be believed, he has carried his enterprises even beyond this world, and receives communications from inhabitants of the other world. ."I tried a short time since to got communications from my friends in the land of the Grcat Spirit, but they had learned the language of the pale face since .they had arrived there, and could not understand the idiom of the Cayugan. (Uproar rious laughter.) But, follow citizens, in behalf of my tribe, I come to congratulate you upon the completion of your great work. Your passage through our territory amazed my people; all nature seemed to shako as you thundered along, and the gi gantic oak and lofty pine bowed in token your triumph. (Cheers.) But tho heart of the Cayugan is warm and he greets and welcomes you to his country. (Prolonged applause.) Dr. W. then presented to President Loder a banner from the Cayuga tribe, upon which was inscribed the pipe of peace, their national emblem. He accompanied- the presentation with u few appropriate Temarks, to whicli Mr. Loder briefly responded. COL. 1VJI. UIGLHR. REMINISCENCES- OF HIS EASLY HISTORY. From an intimate acquaintance of near twenty years, with Hon. Wm. Eiglcr, the young and popular nominee of the Democratic party for fTcruar. jot ..Pcnnsyl v m;CVc' ?r ig.Ji'cdta oner a nasty sketch, of some of fhorcminis? ccnccs of his early history." William Bigler was born in Cumberland county, in this State, about . the .year 1815, whence his parents removed to Mercer county. Subsequently, he was apprenticed to the print ing business, vin Bellcfoiitc. . Sometime , about the years 18C2 '33, he located in Clearfield, Clearfield county; where he established and for a few years published, with great ability, a newspaper, entitled the " Ckarfttll Democrat' Abandoning the printing business, lie embarked in mercantile pursuits and the lumber "trade, in which calling he has since been extensively and successfully engaged. ,,.'" Mr. Bigler "commenced his career in the world friendless and destitute, save an unsullied rep- uiau-m, muomuaoic energy and untiring perse verence, wlucli" he carefully fostered and ha become the architect of h'13 own fauic". We well fcmemWwhen he would retire Voliis editorial sanctum, after the labors of the day had term!, nated, and exercise himself iu rehearsing lessons on military tactics, political jurisprudence, moral philosophy, el cetera. , The same ardent spirit of unfailing perseverance and antiquarian research which controlled the boy, has adorned the man, and raised' him to an eminence tnd popularity never before enjoyed by any citizen of this good old Commonwealth."

Wo venture to say that it evinces in our glorious Democratic standard-bearer, a popularity unexampled in the annals of political history. - In 1811, when up for the Senate, as stated above, every voto, save , oKi int Clearfield . county, was cast for Wilioah BiqlerI Columbia Democrat. - YoungMeii. The idea is prevalent in some communities, that young men arc unfit for generals' or states men,' and that they must bo kept in the back ground until their physical strength is impaired by age, and their intellectual faculties become blunted by years. Lt. us look id tho history of the past, and from the long lkt'of heroes and statesmen who. have nobly distinguished themselves, we will find that they were young men who performed those acts which have won for them an impcrishablo meed' of fame," and placed their names high on the 'page of history..

The smoke and flames arc.asccnding from several squares of our city, as if the god of destruction had serod himself in our midst, and was gorging hfariself and all his ministers of devastation npim the ruins of our doomed city and its peo ple. About 11 o'clock last night the cry of fire stafted every ono like an earthquake. The fire ha just commenced in a paint 6hop on the weit Bide of Portsmouth square, adjoining the Brjkint House, formerly ' called, but more rc- cenily the American. - It was. but a slight blaze when first seen, but in five minutes the whole upper story was full of flmes. .Before the engines could get upon L the fround and commence playing, the Ameri can cn one, Bide, and a store occupied by Messrs.

By Anticipating it in this way, they succeeded on tie north side before it reached Du Tont strit; but in every other direction in which it couil spread, it took its own course. There was but little chance to save much of the moveables. TJ the South it spread to Bush street, and to the fcaFt passed Jackson street, sweeping every thing from east of Du Tont street to the wharves.

The European Times relates the following an ecdote of Louis Napoleon, connected with his celebrated descent upon Bolognc: "A French gentleman of very high rank told us this week a curious fact connected with this feeling, and which he assured us was the main cause of Louis Napoleon's vast success at the last election.. When the descent upon Bolognc was made, Marshal Oudinot had placed troops j along the line of road from the coast to Taris, J ready to play the same game which ey. had managed upon Bonaparte's return to Elba. When Louis Napoleon reached Bolognehc found it was xtn coup vwngve, and keeping his own council, suffered the world to regard him as a dupe and a fool for having made such an at tempt without previous concert, and without adequate forces to support his enterprise. Ou dinot, and all those who would have been com promised had he betrayed them, felt gratitude to the 'young man for his staunch fidelity, and repaid his loyalty to them by raising him to the presidency, and the army still regardshira with tJTesUoa. anijconfideucc." - Murders by tlie Mormons. Mackinac,' (via. Detroit,) June 8, 1851. The Captain T h sloop Planet,' who arrived here lids afternoon from Beaver Island," reports that the Mormons ""yesterday morning murdered Thomas Bennett in his own house, and danger ously wounded his brother Samuel. He says the excitement among the Gentiles (all who are not saints) at this cold-blooded murder of pea ceable and industrious citizens is fearfully, alarming, and that nothing short of a general fight and massacre can allay their rage. At the time he left there, ten o'clock, the fish ermen and Indians were collecting at Mackin lcy's Toint, preparatory to an attack on the Mormons, who were also mustering their forces in anticipation of - this fight; and while I am writing this communication the work of death may be going on." The plea set up by the Mor mons in justification of this sanguiaary murder of an unoffending man within the sanctity of his domestic rules is, that the Bennetts offered resistance to fifty or sixty Mosuions who came to arrest them, with warrants, on a charge of having said tho previous day that they would not recbgnio Mormon law. . After they had riddled the body with rifle balls, they broke in the door of his cabin and brutally bragged the corp&c by the hair of the head to the L.kc chore, a I p'tt both brother in their own fihin boat, one dead, and the other nearly so, and carried them twelve miles, before the Mormon justice who issued the war rants. " - These arc the men whose houses they burned last winter, and whose lives the king doomed to destruction if they did not give up their farm- "to the saints and leave the islinj. '" " Those here who have always? ht or wrenp-, got the Mormons from the bands of justice llv the obuse f judicial authwity and the halii" corpus, ire morally responsible for all this blooJ: for, if justice was allowed to have its course on them for some of their offences against the peace and property of the community, they would respect the power of the law, and would not repeat these things, at least with impunity: but, as every attempt to bring them to legit I punishment here ba3 r-royed ineffectual, the people unwilling any longer to suffer their an noyances, arc determined to fall back rn first principles, and right their own wrong. . , Clicks.' 7 . A Cincinnati paper states'tha't Mr. Lowemh). a noted Hungarian chess-player of that city, i On his way to London-, to take a hand in the great game of chess which is soon to come of! there for 500. ' . ' - In allusion to this player the New Orleans Bee says: Mr. Lowcnthal is a very great chess -player. He was in New Orleans about a year ago, and wrested the laurels frcyn some of the t ucst masters of the game. But strange to say, he was beaten by a youth of twelve years, who but J a few months previous had never played a game. The youth in question Master M is a son of a highly respectable citizen of New Oi lcans, himself an enthusiastic amateur of th noble game of Chess. The boy was accustomed to look over the board while his father wa. playing. As soon as he comprehended the moves, he began to play.

He has perhaps the most wonderful genius forches. ever witnessed. At his tender ac, he may be considered a first-rate player. Ilis movements are prompt, astonishingly accurate, and. the rc -suit of close and vigilant combination. He solves problems with . amazing facility. None of the mysteriou intricacies of these enigmas, however involved " arid numerous the iuovcj, baffle his concentrated ami patient attcutiou. If he continues advancing in force as he grow3 older, he will become the wonder of the ag-, ere he attains manhood. A .Ycw Instrument or Destruction. A rifle capal Ie of firing 25 balls every minute, including the time of loading; wa"s shown to us a day or two since, as an important improve ment in fire arniS. Under the barrel, in the place of the ordinary ramrod, is an iron tube containing the 2balls, and by cocking the gun a ball is brouglft up in the barrel and the same operation also brings up from the breech a 'pill of priming. The charge of powder is contained in the ball, which is not round, but oblong, and having an opening which is corked, shut after the powder has been introduced. The quantity of powder is only 28 grains, and drives the ball with greater force than the large charge in an ordinary gun. This is anew invention, and the manufacturing of the gun is now beginning at Williamsburg, and we learn that a large or dcr has 'been received at the foundry of Gard ner, Harrison & Co., of this city, for casting breeches, &c, for it. The day of its exhibition to ourselves, the owner and part inventor bad been down on the meadows with ten, men having -I ordinary muskets. He fired 50 balls while they fired 40, all of his, and only 3 1 of theirs, struck the target. Upon a slight examination vq could sec no objection to the instrument.
