Waxen, la* ma Patind Ow The Bombardment of Ban hum—Hear both The New York Tribune, and other whig'jour nabs in all sections of the country, an endeavor ing to Pawn the public mind with relation . to the bombardment of San Juali', blr publi shing one-sided statements of the affair, manufact by the editors to suit their °WTI notions. This is the enual course of tacticts pursued by the op position to the administration and the honor of the country. No matter from what quarter the insult to our nationality comes, or how gross or degrading that insult may be, phig party and its presses always join with the y, and against the Nation In the War of 1 12, they were the mere echoes of the Tory press of Engin* and chronicled with great glee thelefeats an disas ters that befel the American arms on sea or land. Haring the Mexican war the same course was pursued, and the pliant band of heroes who car rise the stare and stripes to the Halls of the Mee r, teatimes, were chcacterised as a band of tour ' deters and robbers, who should be "welcomed with Moody hands to hospitable graves." The ihaurder of Crittenden was gloated over with say delight by this same party and its journals, " e every repeated insult offered by the Span officials at Havana to our flag, has found ree dy ea-willing defenders in the anti-American that are supported by the whip and their allies, Abolitionists With these antecedents it is no marvel that they are now engaged in abusing and maligning the Government for the affair at San Juan.— They do not wait for the facts, nor will they pub lish theui when received. Falsification is their trade—the food on which they thrive. Rat while this is the part played by the whig and Abolition journals; we find in the New York Herald a let ter relative to the affair, which rebukes the fal sification resorted to by the in the fol lowing plain and direct wanner.— "The Tribune of the 2(3th inst publishes a statement of several citizens of San Juan, rela tive to the destruction of that place, together with some remarks relative to the form of gov ernment and the events preceding the bombard ment. As to the propriety of resorting to such an extreme measure as the total destruction of the place, the community will probably differ.— The government of the United States no doubt properly considered that point, miff probably, were in possession of such facts as would justify them before all true Americans. "Those who have been conversant with the of fairs of San Juan during the past four years, will remember that the King of Mosquito claimed do minion over this portion of the coast of Central America, and that the British government as sumed and maintained a protectorate over the in fant settlement in support of his Mosquito Majes ty's rights It will also be remembered that difficulties occurred between ,Americans and the authorities, both municipal and British liner jean—interest were prejudiced, and it became evi dent that Great Britain desired to obtain posses sion of the port and adjoining coast, with a view, brobebly, to the eventual control of the Califor nia route over the isthmus Nothing but the firmness of our government, and the resistance of the nation to Great Britain's grasping and monopolizing schemes, prevented San Joao and its vicinity becoming British territory Failing in her hopes of floating the flag of St. George over the sands of San Juan, Britain done the next best thing for herself—she administered the government in the name of the Mosquito King, under the title of u protectorate The writer of this letter became pretty well acquainted, some. two years since, with the mem bers of the aforesaid city government In a con versation with a prominent officer of that govern meat, the writer referred to the English influence everywhere sticking out. The official replied, in snbstance, that though most of the city officers were Americans by birth, they preferred the pres ence of British vessels, British intermits, liritish nvicivaiartrr Rif 'Mi . % :Citiffier cant - ark wourte h nip remind our countrymen of the insult offered to the American flag by a British vessel of wars .rhich fired into the steamer Prometheus, at the request of the city government. The above facts seem to us conclusive proof of the anti-Republi ean and anti-American feeling of the citizens and government of San haat, and may furnish a key to the differences and disturbances which have occurred there It is also proper to remark, that uative-born Americans constituted but an ex tremely small fraction of the population of San Juan A shrewd Yankee could probably guess at the reason for placing a large proportion of so-called i Americans in the Common Council Further, in the T,-letter referred to, the gentlemen state, that in Match, 18:12, a con stitution was adopted, and that no allegiance had been yielded to the King of the Muaquito since that time. The following questions are respect fully asked in this conraction:— Omitung the fact of the British Union Mus (pito flag being still retained as the municipal ensign, did not the Captain of the port, on official visits, in Jane, 1. 4 52, wear the crown upon cap, as the Insignia of the King? Did be not derive, and at this time hold, his authority from the King? Did he not at this time make official visits to the royal residence at Bluefields? Did not the Mayor of San Juan style himself Attorney General of the Kingdom, &.c , &c Again—in June, 1852, it was announced to Americans passing through San Juan, that the Government wail an indepenedt Republic; upon which occasion several citizens of New York,pa,s 'engem on the Prometheus, gave a dinner to the Corporation, (which the British Consul did pot attend,) in honor of "the declaration of indepen dence of San Joan del Norte " See Herold, Tribune, &c., of June 22, 1552' And yet, in a few weeks afterwards, this fact —viz., "the independence"—wa.s contradicted in the Tribune, and we think upon information de riled from one of the very gentlemen we have referred to, as signers of the letter The proba bility is that the following is the truth in refer ence to this affair—The Transit Company, in the endeavor to facilitate and hasten the progress of emigrputs to California, made arrangements to tranafer the passengers from ocean to river steam ere, and to forward them on their voyage with out delay and bawd of landing at San Juan.— English and 3losqui to interests were injured and profitable schemes broken by this proceeding or the American Transit Company, and a harrassing war was tacitly declared against them and against our country and its interests. The consequence was that after a'" few trials of birch bark, with out effect, a dose of "Old Hickory" was admin istered, and San Juan is no more." TRUTT WITH RI-RslA.—We observed some days No with pleasure, an article in the otSeial paper intimating that an additional treaty bad or was about to be concluded between M. de Stoeekl, Russian Charge d' Affaires at Wish iota°, sad our Government ; and we casually learnt from reliable authority that one of its stip ulations, and a very important one, was the sol emnramrition of the great principle of the f ree d om 0 de seas—that is, that fret' ship make free yoo d a. We now learn authentically that this treaty, which we find was concluded on Sat urday last, was communicated to the Senate on Wednesday by the President, and was on the same day considered and ratified by the unani mous coeseett of that body—ti rare instatee of promptitude in such snifters,. as well u °anew sive evidence of the uneneepuonable character of the treaty itself —Nat. irtielligenerr.

The Russian loan goes On heavily Again, the Czar is not quite that, in a protracted war, he can retain his POW( er over Sitka, or the possessions on which it de panda. The United States Government has, of late; directed its special efforts to the acquisition of such demand as the IluitedlStates may at ally future dine require. The policy may be sound in refereitoe to territory which cannot be held by any hirekga power without prejudice to future interests. The Russian territory on the north west coast has little population exceptiti 4 Indians, and the servants and agents of the liets shin Fur Company, and some 2000 soldiert-at Sitka. The company drives a valuable trade with the Indians, and from Sitka ice is exported, as I learn from Gov Stevens, to ports south of it. Perhaps the State of Shia, when we get it, will Ire the “granite and ioe" State of the Pacific. This government looks with a covetous eye upon the Oregon region between 49 deg. and 5-1 deg. 40 min., and now contemplates with le i gret the policy whereby it was abandoned. The cry of the "resunexation" of Oregon will soon j be raised, and by some means or other, by pur chase or the voluntary dismemberment of the re gion from Great Britain, and its voluntary an nexation, it may come under the government.— , The acquisition of the Russian territory will ex pedite this result. A Dount.e. Dvan VILLAIN.--One John W. Tyler, who had been somewhat noted, for three or four years bygone, as a teacher of juvenile singing classes in Ulster and other river counties, has proved that the suspicion which has hereto fore attached to his character, was well founded. Last winter, among other places, he ought a class at itondout Among the pupils was a girl named Post, from Esopus, some sixteen years of age, and of rather attractive person. Tyler soon showed a marked preference for this scholar, and frequently waited on her home, two miles, in a secluded nook of the country—just the place for a crazy love affair. The family of this girl knew little of the woad, and Tyler was a great man in their eyes, for he is a flippant rogue of the worst species, impudent to a marvel, and with a shrewd insight into weaknesses which may be turned to account by the unprincipled. To close the story briefly, the girl became the victim of the scoundrel, and a marriage took place a short time since. A few days ago an officer made his appearance from Columbia county, hard on the Massachusetts line, in pursuit of Tyler, who had abandoned a family there, while at the same place it was rumored he was married to or about marrying a young girl in this region Two offi cers made a descent upon Tyler's lair on Friday night last, but he managed to escape in rather a scant undress even for thiseesenti—for the scoun drel was abed lie was arrested, however, the following afternoon, in the neighborhood of the girl's residence, by Albert Mallory, an officer from Readout, and is now in toe I "later eonnly prison. The ruined girl is fatherless—her fa ther, John E Post, dying a few months ago— and her widowed mother lives on the out-lying farm spoken of, where Tyler had established himself and his domestic relations on a new ba sis He has a wife and four ehildren in absolute want, near East Chatham, Columbia county, and while he was enacting the part of a gay single gentleman. among the iuexperienced who were placed under his tuition, his wife was struggling hard to feed the flock around her table.

On her arrival at the office, the prefec ture most politely received her, and ushering her into a small box-looking apartment, commenced reading over sundry charges against her, which be had scarcely finished, when down sunk the corpulent lady through a trap in the treacherous floor, above which nothing of her portly figure was to be seen but her head , arms, and crumbled habiliments; and shocking to relate, thirty blows from an unseen hand were administered—where, however, they were unlikely to cause permanent injury; except to the feelings of the sufferer.— On the completion of the sentence, the stout lady's person appeared again above ground al most at suddenly as it had disappeared, and the prefectiure, is the most corteous and polite man ner, bowed her out of the office.—Erchange. g"r RA !.; °CV Ung ENCIC . —We understand, says the Troy Tint,x, that a man died in West Troy -last Thursday evening, with a disease stronglyre sembling cholera, and his 'body was deposited in a coffin and fully prepared for burial. The re mains were kept until Saturday evening, and then, while the friends of the deceased were en :Edhol4ing a wake over him, the supposed man slowly recovered from the state in which he had lain so long, and actually arose from the coffin, walked across the floor, and re. quested a dri nk of water, saying that he was very thirsty! This comes to us from one of the parties present, and we see no reason to doubt her statement. We further understand that the man is convalescent, and will recover. A Rsvatmen Scotrienstut.—The Miner's ./oursol tells a shocking story of the elergionnn recently in charge of the First Methodist Church of Pottsville. He was detected in drunkenness, and indecently exposing his person to two little gide whom he had taken out walking. The in dignation of his congregation compelled him to leave the town - immediately, to avoid a coat of tar and feathers. He left behind him an inter esting wife and four children, who have been n provided i With means, by the liberality of kind to return to the lady's presto in Eng land. lir Col. Loring, of California, was instantly killed this worming, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, by a swordinne in the hands of Mr. R. M. Gra ham, of New Orleans.

JANINA POLLOCK, the Gazette's candidate for Governor, in a recent letter, says that. 'Slavery can have so kya/ exis tence in those territories, either by act of 'CUM ores, or under the lithe pretence of popular soy erignty." Now, either the Gazette ia wrong or its candidate for Governor is. One says the Ne• breaks. bill—an "ad of Congress"—has legisla ted slavery into those territories," while the other asserts as positively that it can't, and con consequently /tax ; not? "If slavery enters those territories," says PolLocit, "it will be there, sot only without arstisority eissestihstiorsal Jaw, Ina 111 cioiati'ors q . ALL tow." We call the Ga :rtie's attention to these pevitire assertions of itt, candidate, hoping it will learn wisdom and cease to preach abordities! The True Course. The question of slavery or not in Nebraska and Kansas will soon be settled; and that, too, as it should, by the omnipotent voiee of such as make those fair territories Weir home. Great efforts are being made in Nest England, as well as in other states where slaviiry does not exist, to send to the territoriesintellignnt and respect able men, men who are opposed to the further extension of slavery. Already emigrants are on the way to those territories, and from the ac counts which we daily recive, we should say that Nebraska and Kansas would Soon be formed into free states. We are glad to see this movement go forward, and trust that It will continue to do so, until the sun in its course "shall neither rise upon a master nor set upon a Slave." As an in stance, last week a large party bound for Kan sas passed through Buffslo, and the lakes, ris De troit. The party was composed of lawyers, doc tors, carpenters, tailors, farms, shoemakers, and in fact of almost, all occupations. They are re presented to be highly intelligent, enterprising and respectable And yet, it is these very men the anti-Nebraska politicians are afraid to trust. They think these "lawyers, doctors, carpenters, tailors, farmers, and shoemakers," are incapable of deciding the question of slavery in the terri tory they are going to settle. They want Con gress to do it for them; and "raise heaven and earth," and the other place, t 0 ,,, for that matter, because Congress ditUnt. but left it for the peo ple Says Congress, let the "lawyer•, doctors, carpenters, farmers and shut,-tutkers" who go to Nebraska and Kansas, decide for tlienkielVt4 what domestic 4,7„„, say 11 nip ors, that itt for then our occupation will be gone, and "agitation" cease to Ile 'tupayiug iu‘esttuent. ANOTHER CON ERT. --Know Nothingism is receiving converts from the Whig ranks every (lay Th..ro is no end to the adhesion from the ranks of that party recorded in the papers. Sew ard, it is true, is struggling against it, but then even his faithful followers are "giving in."— The last convert of importance is Col. Wain, of the Cosriry mod Enquirer, that paper having come out, on Saturday last, substantially in favor of Knpw Nothingism. Re goes for giving for. eigners every privilege, save that of the elective franchise, save in cases specially authorised by Congress, with a view to reward some individual merit. How VERY Taus.—The Washington Star, in commenting upon the rumor that Russia is about to offer to sell "Uncle Sam" all. her pos sessions on this continent, says that within four teen years a wonderful change has taken place in the position, resonreas, and standing, both at home and abroad, of our great and growing Re public! in 1840, Sidney Smith derisively held up the United States as a nation defaulters and bankrupts. In 1854, we find the Sandwich Islanders knocking at the door of the Confedera cy for admission; we find Mexico disposing of her acres to Uncle Sam by millions, like some prodigal heir of a noble estate; we find the Cre oles of Cuba anxious to be bought or captured into annexation; and now we find the Autocrat of all the Russias anxious to exchange his bleak possessions on this continent for some of the great staple of California. There is no use in kicking spinet "manifest destiny;" and our "manifest destiny" seems to be to go forth, with the purse in one hand and the sword in the other, to buy sad conquer the nations of the earth with ndiversal liberty! 1- Stir Two demurs from the English army at Halifax, who, before they left, broke into the Queen's Treasury and robbed it of $7OO, were arrested in Boston lately soon after their arrival, and most of the mosey recovered.

That fend which is the aggr ega te of the contributions of all the daunt; * is threatened by attempts under plausible pretexts, 'to divide and apportion it. It is the t'onintos &hoe Pupa. Igo knit always be; and representing as we do, that party in the Commonwealth which serer has had sysispotky with meek driapts, and has never COUNTENANCED them, we w.iru the voters of the State of the danger which is impending, and lull on them for a united and resolute effort to avert it." The Demoeratic party has been time and again ationsed of pandering to this, that, and the other religions denominations of the country, but here is a bold attempt, on the part of the State Com mittee of the whig poky, to raise a sectarian is sue, in hopes that the rell known prejudices and sensitiveness of our people, will lead them to bring their political grist to the whig mill to be ground this Fait Now, if there was the least grain of 'midi in the above extract, we would be the last one to blame the whip In that ease they would have a right to take advantage of the issue presented, and make all they could out of it. But it is not true that "the integrity of the ('ma won School fund is in danger " It is not even true that it ie "sepposed to he in danger," for such a suplowition has not even found a todgmeut in the brain of a single politician, .luring this canvass, until the writer of the paragraph under discussion gave it utterance; and neither the Cen tral Committee, nor any of the nrgains of the party, can point to au—iota of proof t sustaiu them! Equally unfortunate also, is the boast. of the Committee that neither they, nor the party which they represent, has never sympathised or countenanced a division of the Common School Fund. l'pon this point we quote from the Ad dreas of the Democratic Executive Committee of the city of Philadelphia, "In 1836, when Joseph Rimer was the whig Governor, and his whig Secretary of State, Thos H. Burrowea, was also the Superintendent of Common Schools, the latter recommended, and there was introduced a hill entitled An Act rot ative to the system of general education by emu mon schools, of which the following is the seven teenth section:—"Seetion XVII. When a school is, or shall hereafter be endowed by bequest, nr otherwise, tba board of directors of the district in which such school is located are hereby author ized to allow such school I , ) remain under the immediate direction of the regularly appointed trustees of the same, and appropriate so couch of the district school fond to said school as they may think just and reasonable Poo fe,/, that such school shall be generally eondueted in con formity with the common school system of this commonwealth " That hill was passed, and on the 13th of June, 1836, was approved by the whig Governor, Joseph Rimer. (ramp laws, 1836, p. 5:12. t That we believe, was the first law ever enacted, or attempt made in this Sate to divide the school fund, and it was done upon the recommendation of the whig Superintendent rfoValkfr. S "teale' add wad VsM e tl 4 :Li ke tat mit that these facts prove not only that they countenanced, but that they also sympathized with it. Now mark the second time, when they euae ted a law to divide the school fund, and on this oc casion. they were more sympativri,, for they ac tually roiotipnou,/ a divi%ion of it aurlng ceti gious societies. In 1838, the same whig Seeretary and Super intendent, recommended changes in the then ex• isting school law, and another bill supplementary to the act of 1836 w&s introduced and passed Its 18th section reads as follows: "Sic. 13. When a Free School of the Common School grade shall hereafter be maintained in any accepting school district under the care and direc tion of A RELIGIOUS St kCIETY, it shall be lawful for the school directors of such districts to rausr ‘„„b ep-iper person or persons, fin- the sufrori ty'sneh .04..4, any pillion of the school money not r.ree,ling th, rateable shun o% the ta-rable inhallitants trhose children or appren tices *hall Ge taught in znrh :whoa, Provided, That the directors shall be satisfied that such ap plication of the money would not upon the whole, be injurious to the Common Schools of such dis- trict." That section among the others was approved by Joseph Ritner on the 12th of April, 183 S (Pamph. Laws, 183 s; p. 331. ) You will observe that this section expressly authorized a ,fleision. of the arhool Joao' among all ro 4ro •ie . This, then, was the second time that through the recommendation, sympothy, roeeo-eo see us, ap proval of relays, a law was made to divide the common sehool fund—"that fund which is the aggregate of the contributions of all the citizens, and which, by its aggregation, effects it chief good." So says this whig State Committee, from whose own words, it follows, that in 1836 and 1838 the whigs passed acts destroying the "chief good" of that fund. But of course, that party bad some "planeible'pretexts, to divide and ap portion it On January 14, 1839, this same whig Superintendent of Schools, sent to the anllegislature the draft of a new school taw, the 37th 48th sections of which provided for the same division of the school fund, and in his re port, which accompanied the bill, he thus recom mended them: "These sections are substantially and almost literally the same as the 17th section of the set of 1836, and the 13th section of the set of 1838, which have been found beneficial in practice. (House Journal, 1838, vol. 2, p. 47.1 When Governor Ritner wont out of office, the whig party did not again obtain power in this State, till the election of Wm. F. Johnston, and no sooner was be in office, than the whig party for the third time made a law dividing the school fund amon endowed schools lad those of ra,i gioss *wishes ; and, incredible as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the Native American members of the Legislature from Philadelphia county, "sympathised" with and "countenanced" the whig party, in its "plausible pretexts to di vide and apportion it !" We submit to any candid man, "Keats Noth ing," or know something, if the above faces, com piled from the record, do not convict the whig Central Committee of premeditated and inten tional falsehood. First, the address asserts that the "integrity of the School Fund is supposed to be in danger." In "datiger" from what! From the Democratic party of course, else why should the whig Central Committee sound the Next, the address asserts that the whig party "never has had sympathy with such designs" when - tithe record shows that that party not only had "sympathy with," but "countenanced" and actually pawed lows accomplishing the very thing the address warns the people the Democrats are about to do.

This is just like whigery. In the eyes of that party and it- orgains, our government is always wrong in a controversy with a foreign nation. Now, as to thy particular question of the right - or wrong of the San Juan affairs, we have little time or room to enter into the merits or demerits of the ques tion, but have good authority and reasons for be lieving that the punishment was not wholly un it( ,ervtql, and that there is no occasion for hay-. ins; our sympathies particularly awakened for the benefit of a few English capitalists.
