They can never be made believe that the Whigs have anY chance of success. They ever keep their eyes fixed on the dark side of the picture. If a more ardent and sanguine member of the party ventures, in the presence of one of these men, to remark that the prospects of Whig success are good, the desponding Whig is sure to whine out his doubts, and give a thousand and one reasons going to favor a contrary belief. Ile is ever extolling the superior tact of Locofoco politicians, and disparaging the efforts and once, - ing at the means used by the active Whigs to advance their canoe. In short, these despond ing Whigs do all in their power to encourage the Locorocos, and discourage the Whigs. They hang like dead weights around the neck of the party, which they profess to support. And the little effort they make just on the eve of an election, fails to compensate the party for the harm they have done it at the commencement and during the progress of the campaign, by their discouraging remarks. And it is ever so with them. No matter how radiant the politi cal horizon may be with indications of Whig suc cess, still they doubt and despond. Why, we know many professed Whigs who could never be induced to believe that Gen. Taylor could carry the vote of this State. And in every conversation on the subject, they would go into an argument to impress others with the same belief. Yet the old Hero (as every Whig pos sessing one grain of hope believed he would) swept the State by a majority of over THIR TEEN THOUSAND ! And this, too, in the ' face of the most desperate struggle ever made by Locofocoism in Pennsylvania; and in the face, too, we may add, of all the harm the des ponding Whigs could do by their everlasting croaking about defeat. We have no patience with this class of politicians. If they are na turally disqualified from seeing victory in the future—if hope never deigns to infuse its cheer ing beams into their rigid systems, let them, for the sake of the cause which they profess to , keep their gloomy, hope forsaken con , victions to themselves. If they have no word of encouragement to Oriel', let them not be eter nally endeavoring to freeze up the animation of the ardent and zealous members of the party. We would as soon receive a cold shower bath in January, as encounter one of these ever des ponding Whigs in a political campaign. Sup pcise they could succeed in forcing the belief that success was beyond the reach of Whigs, upon wrery member of the party ? Would not the election be practically over and a Locofoco victory practically secured 1 Do not these des ponding Whigs; then, who' are always predict ing defeat, render more aid to Locofocoism than they do to the cause which they profess to sup port ? If they possess the sagacity which they are ever aiming at discovering to those around them, they cannot help but see the deleterious tendency of their course. Those who desire success, in any cause, must hope for and expect it, and try infuse confidence into all around them. And Whigs who pursue a contrary course—who are ever desponding—do more to retard than to advance the Whig cause. In the campaign that is bofore us, it is to be hoped that the number of these prophesiers of evil will be small. After the victories of last fall, with the proper exertions, we cannot see how the most hope forsaken Whig in the coun t try can fairly despair of success. The Locos have already nominated a candidate for Canal Commissioner. In a few weeks the Whigs will select theirs, and then the campaign will com mence. Should the Whigs make a fortunate se lection, all that will be wanting to ensure another glorious Whig victory in Pennsylvania will be confidence, organization and exertion on the part of the Whig party. Will not every lover of Whig principles do his part to secure this desirable result 1 The Cholera. The deaths by Cholera during the past week, have ranged from 10 to 20 per day in Philadel phia. In New York, the deaths from Cholera on th e 4th, sth and 6th inst., were 27 each day. In Pittsburg no official reports have been made, but the deaths from Cholera are said to be from 10 to 12 per day. In Cincinnati and St. Louis, there is no abate ment in the violence of the disease. An ave rage of 100 deaths per day in each place, con tinue to the reported. In the former place, for the week ending July 3rd, 765 deaths from Cholera were reported. This disease has spread into the interior of Ohio. In the interior of Pennsylvania no cases have yet been reported, and we believe, if proper caution is observed, no danger need be apprehended in the rural districts. Let there be no alarm on the subject. Many persona take this disease by thinking and talking too much about it, and being unduly alarmed. By all means keep up the spirits. More Manslaughter. David Akison, of Birmingham, this county, was lodged in our Jail on Thursday last, for stabbing Joseph Wood, of the same place, in the abdomen with a knife, on the dth inst. It app., that Akison and Wood hail been at Iron.ville, in Blair county, together, and while there Akison became intoxicated, and com menced quarrelling with some railroad hands. Wood fearing that he would be hurt, tried to get him away. He did not wish to go, and when Wood attempted to farce him along with him, Akison drew his knife and stabbed him in the manner above stated. We understand that Wood is not expected to live. Scenes of vio lence are becoming shockingly numerous. lion. Henry Clay. A telegraphic despatch states that the Hon. Henry Clay was attacked by Cholera on Tues. day lust.

State Treasurer and the Laborers on the Public Works. The Locofoco press over the State, taking its cue from the Keystone of Harrisburg, is filled with abuse of Mr. Ball, the State Treasurer, charging him with withholding (he appropria tions made for the payment of the laborers on the public works. Having seen these repeated attacks made upon that officer, as we believed without ground or reason of any kind, we ad dressed him the following note : Ilattatsnuno, June 30, 1810. _ G. J. BATA, : Having heon it stated in the public press reneatedly that you have re fused to pay appropriations made from the State Treusury for the payment of the laborers on the public works ; if the charge be not true, I will thank you to furnish me with a statement of the amount of money drawn from the Treasury since you have had charge of it. by the Supervisors on the public works, for the purpose above men tioned. Very respectfully, yours, &e., TH.. FENN To which we received the following reply : TREASURY °MCP July 3, 1819. Dear Sir : In reply to your note of the 30th ultimo. T herewith send you a list of the Super visors and Superintendents on the public im provements who have drawn money from the Treasury, and the amount drawn by each since the adjournment of the Lecislature. The total amount so drawn is 0305031.92, from which it is easy to judge whether a sufficient amount has been drown to pay the laborers on the public improvements or not. Yours, &e., G. T. BALL The following is the•statcment that accompa nied the above answer Amounts drawn by Supervisors from April 11th, to July 3d, 1819 J. P. Anderson XMAS Turner John Maelauchlin Wm. Entrlish Genrtre Blat , mberger Thomas J. Power Canal Commissioners Thomas Bennet Jenkins Jacob Plam W. K. no nazis Wm. McPherson Toe Here is a lamentable picture of Locofoco pro divlity and abuse. in the short space of fig! , ty-thses dogs the Locofoco officers on the pub lic works have drawn from the State Treasury. the astoundlnq slim of more than THREE HUN DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS—or THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND TY DOLLARS PER DAY—while nt the same time the Locoforo press is filled with abuse of the State Treasurerbecause he will not furnish the officers with money to pay the laborers on the public works ! The fact discloses a scheme of villiany unpar- allellell, we believe, in the history of Locofoeo ism in this State. The sum of $300,000, former ly woo all that was annually appropriated forthe ordinary repairs of the State canal and railroads. This sum was for a whole year. This amount has already been drawn from the' Treasury for that purpose in a little over lees months What has been done with it I Thar is the question. Have the laborers been paid ? The Lorene() press says they have not t Hove the public officers been using this money, and tel ling the honest laborers that they could get no money, while they have drawn the enormous sum of nearly one-third of a million ? If the Locofoco preas tells the truth, it is so. If it is not so, then they have been concocting and cir culating the most enormous lies; and with the concurrence, too, of the officers on the public works, otherwise they would voluntarily disa buse the public mind. One of two things are, therefore, self-evident, and cannot be contro verted either the Locofoco officers have paid the laborers on the public works, while they have given currency to a vile and infamous libel upon the State Treasurer; or they have used the mon ey drawn from the State Treasury for purposes of speculation; and to screen themselves from the just censure of those from whom they are fraudulently withholding their just dues, have put into into circulation a falsehood against the State Traasurer.—Either horn of the dilemma will hold them up to public anathema and Wig nation.—Pa. Megraph. Free Trade and the Iron Business. All over the country we have a suspension or depression of Manufacturing, but especially of the iron business. Consequently manual labor is begging employment, and industrious citizens are reduced to want. Thousands of our citizens have migrated to the West, or removed to Cali fornia; and yet there is not employment for those who remain. These are some of the benefits of the Free Trade Tariff of Isl 6. American Iron, cloth and other material, instead of being made at home, are made by the paupers of Europe. Take an instance.—A correspondent of a Phila delphia paper states that a contract has been made in New York for 3000 tons of English Rail ', road Iron, for the Erie Railroad Company, deliv ered in that city free of all charges and duty paid at about $42 40 per ton. This is lower than any contract has yet been made for cash.

As we stated in our last, Sunday, the 27th of June was designated, as a time for collecting funds in all the Catholic Churches in the Union, in aid of the Pope of Rome. Bishop Hughes is sued a circular to the churches of New York, in which he uses the following language in ref- , erence to the struggle between the Pope and the I Republicans of Rome : The sacreligious invaders of his . rights may profane the apostolic shrines of Rome—may melt the sacred vessels for their nefarious pur poses—may strip the temples of the living God of the ornaments with which the piety of our ancestors in the Faith had adorned them, but they will never be able to sever the divine bond of Catholic Faith and subjection which binds us indissolubly to the Chair of Peter. God, in his inscrutable Providence, may permit these sacri legious men to invade with apparent success for a time the rights of his appointed representative on earth. But it will he for a time only, and after that he will rise in the might of his wisdom and employ the folly of their own devices to scatter then' to the ends of the earth, and to vin dicate his consoling promise that the gates of hell shall never prevail against that Church which he built upon the rock of Peter. In the mean time the children of the church are numer ous enough to see that his enemies shall not have the power to humble the Sovereign Pontiff to the extent of actual destitution, or want of means necessary to carry on the numerous offices of his most holy and most exalted station. The New York Tribune, in referring to the Bishop's circular, by using the phrase in refer ence to the Pope—"in his present struggle with the Roman Republic"—gave offence to Bishop Hughes, and brought from him a severe reply, to which Greely rejoins at some length. It ap pears to us that the Bishop has the worst of the contest, and utterly fails to establish the point he seems most anxious to settle that the collec tions are merely to feed and clothe the sover eign Pontiff, and not to aid him in regaining his temporal power. Every good Catholic would no doubt think it right to contribute to the per sonal support of their Holy Fathers but when a call is made upon the republican Catholics of the United States to contribute fundsfor the purpose of crushing the republican government of Rome, and re-establishing a papal hierarchy in its stead it is asking what their love of liberty will for bid them to respond to. That such is the de sign of the collection of funds at present there can be no doubt. It is scarcely probable that the Catholics of Europe would allow the Pope to suffer for the necessaries of life. An Italian in New York who signs himself G. F. Seccut it CAsALI, has felt called upon to make a state meat of facts in reply to Bishop Metes' strie tures upon the language of the Tribune, in which $23,900 00 11,000 00 25,011 00 101,175 93 6.100 00 76,300 00 1,000 00 19.800 00 5,70.5 00 9,900 00 13.800 00 8,000 00 $305..131 he says— The Pope is in Gaeta, surrrounded by the roy al family of the bloody tyrant of Naples, and, from what I have lately heard, is living in sump tuous style. The King or Naples has offered to the Pope $60,000; the emperor of Russia has sent to frirrt 50,0110 crowns; Qacen Isabella of Spain has presented Pius IX. her sweetest bon bons, and plenty of Spanish gold; the Austrian Gmerals in every city they captured, imposed on the poor population heavy taxes in favor of Pius IX. saying nothing of the thousands of be ings they have butchered—m one word, the Pope has received, from the first dayhe deserted Rome to the presenttime, large supplies ormon iey from various quarters. This money is not needed for the use of the Church nor His Holi ness. The Roman People, when they proclaim. , ed him fallen from his temporal throne, offered to maintain his spiritual power with his prince ; 'y incomes as in formertimes. This the Pope has declined, and his conduct in making arrappeal to foreign nations to reinstate him in his temporal sway, even through seas of human blood, even though Rome should fall into ruins, is enough to warrant a belief that the funds collected in the Catholic Churches in the United States, will in effect be used to overthrow the Roman Republic. BREAK IN THE CANAL—OUTRAGES BY BOATMEN !—We learn that the aeque duet in the vicinity of Falmouth, on the Pennsylvania Canal, gave way a few days since, which has caused a suspen sion of business for the time being. It will be repaired however, and the boats will be able to proceed as usual in a few days._ . I Quite a number of boats are laying above and below the break, and the boatmen are committing the most flag rant outrages upon passengers, as well as robbing each other. We learn that a gentleman and lady were passing in a vehicle, and were stopped by a gang of these cut-throats, and dragged from their seats. The gentleman was se verely beaten, and the most inhuman out rages committed upon the person of the lady--all too in broad day light. The perpetrators were arrested and sent to prison. Another young man was dragged from his boat and nearly strangled with a ronp, which they had fastened around his neck, whilethe balance of the ruffians rifled his trunk of s6s—all the money he had. We learn that a large reward has been offered for the robbers. The perpetrators of such villiany should he made to culler the utmost extent of the law.—Columbia Spy. pg — 'rhe Exemption Law, whereby property to the value of $3OO is made exempt from exe cution for debt, went into operation on the 4th inst. That is, it will apply to all debts con tracted on or after that date, but not to those contracted previously. The Clay and Turner Affray: The Maysvillle t este, of Juno 23rd. gives the following, which is the fullest account ; we have yet seen of this terrible affray between' Cassius M. Clay and Cyrus Turner, in Madison edunty, Ky. : We learn the following from a gentleman who ' was do the ground: There are three Pro-slavery candidates lor the Convention from Madison, Messrs. Willis and Chenault and Maj. Squire Turner, (father of Cyrus Turner,) and but one ' Emancipation candidate, Maj. Burnam. At a regimental muster at Walden's, on Thursday of last week, the candidates spoke, Willis and Che naultleading. Maj. Turner followed—zalthough he had promises Cassius M. Clay the stand be fore him, alleging twat Clay was not a candidate and fhe crowd was fast dispersing—and made a long speech. Clay then took the atom:, and bore more heavily in his remarks upon Turner than upon either of the other candidates, and it was now evident for the first tithe that there was•some unpleasant feeling between them: On the next day, Friday, another discussion took place at a regimenfaf muster at Foxtown,— Willis spoke first, 'ruiner next. When Turner had spoken about an hour, Clay appealed to him to give Maj. Burnam an opportunity of defend ing the Emancipationists and their views ; but Turner refused and spoke half an hour longer, in a severe strain, during which he read from the True American newspaper a portion of the article that caused the Lexington moo and the removal of the True American office to Cincin nati. Clay now appealed to the people to say whether it was fair that this article should he read, unless accompaniA by the statement so of ten made to Maj. Turner, that the article in question was written by a South Carolina plant er, Os tnany of his friends believed, for the ex press purpose of breaking dawn his presso and sent to his office and printed while he was lying sick' or the typhoid fever. The article, he said, was as r •pali've to his feelings and views as it was to M.ij. Turner's or any other man's—and if he had not been confined to a lied of sickness it should not have appeared in his paper. Mr. Win. L. Neal, the printer or the True American was on the ground, and would confirm the state ment. Maj. Turner continued his speech, after this interruption, and when he concluded, C. M. Clay took the stand for the purpose of making a kind of apology to the people for the interruption lie had caused. He again stated that he thought each party were entitled to lie heard, and that each should be alloweda fair division of the time. That the friends of right and justice by such a course had nothing to lose ; for if the Emancipa tionists held incendiary notions, and advanced principles opposed to the best interests of the country, the people would judge of them correct ly and put them down, while if their principles were founded in right and justice, it was cer tainly not wrong that they should be known in order that they may be upheld and supported. After making his explanation which did not occupy more than two minutes, he was leaving the stand, when Major Runyon, a lawyer of Rich mond, at a considerable distance off plied him with questions ; and Clay, with the consent of Chenault who claimed the stump, endeavored to answer him. Some misunderstanding occurred in reference to the disposition made of the School Fund, in which Runyon pronounced a statement made by Clay false and untrue. Clay referred loan act of the Legislature in proof of his asset,• tion, and finally told Runyon, who had interupt ed him before, that he was a mere tool of Tur ; nee and was obeying his master. Clay deseen , fled from the stand in perfect good humor, and withoutexpecting a difficulty with any one when Maj. Turner remarked that "Runyon was not his tool." Clay replied that whether Turner knew it or ' not, he was evidently his willing tool. Upon this Cyrus Turner, the son of the candidate stepped•up to Clay, and pronounced his statement a d—d lie, and struck him in the face. Clay was soon stabbed by some one behind, beat over the head with a stick by Alfred Turner and perhaps others, and a revo.ving pistol snapped four tunes at his head, bursting a cap each time, by Thomas Turner. He did not draw his knife nor shake off the hold of those who were cling ing to him, until he perceived the blood spout : ing forth from his side, and believed from the ' wound that he must die. With superhuman ef fort he shook 01l those who held him, encoun tered Cyrus Turner, and stabbed him. The wound took effect in the lower part of his abdo men, resulting in his death in 34 hours. Great Fire in Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, July 6. A large fire broke out early this morning, in Willis Booth's board-yard in Dusqueeue street and 700,000 feet of lumber were destroyed. The fire then communicated to the Western Univer sity, which was consumed. Dlr. Booth is insured to the amount of $4,300; the loss of the University will be partially covered by an insurance of $lO,OOO. The total amount of the loss is nut ascer tained. - New Religious Organization A correspondent of the New York Tribunei writing from Waterloo, Seneca county, N. under date of 7th inst.,give. an account of a meeting which was he ld near that village, called for the purpose of forming a new religious or ganization of a more liberal and reformatory character than that of the old sects. It was' composed mainly of members of, or seceders from the Society of (lhcksite) Friends, dissat isfied with their society for refusing to adopt the' ultra opinions held and expressed by the Refor mers of the Age, upon the subjects of Slavery, Intemperance, Woman's Rights, &c., &c. The call of the Convention was issued by a, Conference of members of the Genessee Yearly Meeting of Friends. It proposed, as a substi tute for the old Quaker Organization, whereby the Yearly Meeting is endowed with ecclesiasti cal power over the Monthly and Quarterly Meet , ings, that each local , congregation should man age its own internal and disciplinary affairs on such plans as may be best adapted to its own peculiar circumstances. Retaining the essential prinriple s of Quakerism, it proposed to abolish what is known as the "Select Meeting," or the meeting of Ministers and Elders, and to render the organization more democratic by placing all its members upon .e level of rights and pre rogatives, leaving each individual to exert the influence which character alone canconfer. The practice of recommending [ordaining] ministers and seating them above their brethren, it also proposed to abolish, leaving each individual fred td sp. , alr or be silent, according to his highest perceptions of duty. Proposing no theolozienl test, it was designed to form a union of all those, Of whatever sect, who desired to co-operate in works of charity and benevolence, on a basis which would allow the Widest freedom of speech' in respect to all subjects on which• there might be an honest difference of opinion. • . The call was responded to by a large number of persons, mostly members of the Genessee Yearly Meeting, but including a few from other' parts of the country, and some who were not Quakers. Among those in attendance from broad were LUCRETIA MDT of Philadelphia, Nicuor.ss HAI.LoCK of 'Milton, and JOSEPH A. DUI:DALE and ReTit Dccnear•. of Ohio. Con trary to the usual practice of Friends, the ses sions of the Yearly Meeting were not private, but open to anybody who chose to attend ; and men and women instead of meeting separately, came together in the same room on terms of pnr fort equality. The clerks were THOMAS M‘,- CLINT°. of Wnterloo, a well know minister, and Rnovu DE GAP.MO of Rochester.

As a writer, orator, statesman and general, he is a like without his rival in his nation, and perhaps in the world. if his writings• and his speeches arouse the people to a fury of enthusiasm, his clear judgment guides them through every difficulty and danger to triumph. To the Mag yars he appeals in their own rich, strong language; to the Wallacks, lie speaks the language of the Wallacks ; to the Sclaves he speak the language of the Sclaves, while to the Diet of Magnates and Bishops, he preaches revolution for freedom, and resistance to tyrants, in the purest Latin Of exhaustless ge nius, energy and invention,. he is never at a loss. Time seems to have marked him for the events lie is shaping,- and ?t is hard to determine tvliether lie stands highest as a soldier, statesman, orator or prophet--he certainly combines the four characi ers wonderfully. Here is a specimen of his oratory, addressed to the Hungarian nation. --- Two things we must do. We must rise and crash the enemy that dese crates the earth on which we live and we must not forget ! These two are needful : should the Hungarians fail in them, then they are a craven people —a people of wretches, of which the very name ine history shall be kin to shame ! Should the Hungarians fail in these two, then they are a people of das lards and cowards, defiling even the sacred memory of their forefathers God the Eternal will say of them, 1 rue the day on which 1 created this people And should the Hangar's" fail in, people—so accursed, that these two, then they Are an accurse d the air of heaven shall disown them so cursed, , turn that the sweet fountain shall brack ish as they approach it. The Hungarian shall be a vagabond on the face of the earth. Even the bread of charity shall be denied to his prayer. And the gen eration of the stranger, that halls taken his substance, shall give him s tripe s alms. He shall be like a vagrant dog, which even the meanest may st ri k e. fr Vain are his prayers; religion has no comfort for him. He has d es ecrated God's work, and God will not pardon his sins; no, neither here nor in heaven! The maiden he lifts his eyes to, shall spurn him from the threshold, like a "i"ng,lT beast. His wife shall spit into his eyes trt the fulness of her scorn, and the child's earliest words shall curse its (either * 41, Let each man take up arms! But ns for the women, let them go midway be tween Vesprim and Weissenbergh, and dig a wide grave. There wo wilt hurry the name, the honor, the nation of HO— gary ; or else our enemies shall lie 11 that wide grave." il
