those Fames for the California trade, as well as
for the Asiatic.
Now, the three parties nll profess a desire that
the roads shall bo open equally to the commerce
of all nations; but, in whose posmession, or under
whose guardianship shall they be? This is, ap
parently, the vital question. The President
claims for the United States. England and
France will not accede. They put in their claims.
Each party has a naval force on the coast, to help
diplomacy. Neither would like to be the aggres
sor, in oommeneing actual hostilities; but an
accident, cr a misunderstanding on the part of
Sae Captains, might induce the blow.
An exceedingly dangerous feature of affairs,
jurd, at present, is the eecape of an American ves
sel, from Mobilo, with some two hundred fdlibus
ters. If iheee should elude our cruisers, and of
feet a lauding In Nioarrtgua, the English and-
French will be naked to land men from their vas
eels, to capture and expel them. This will be
granted, as our Government at Washington, has
been already informed. The result will be a com
plication not easy to disentangle, and may in='
augurate a Butes of events the moat direful. -
The danger of a conflict with France is far
greater than with England. Our means of an
noying England are immense—our access to the
Canadas, the destruction we could bring upon
their shipping interests, the cutting off of the
supply of cotton, and the stoppage of our exten
sive trade with them, are evils which they would
incur only under the direst necessity. But with
France things are different. She has no territory
which we could reach, Iler trade with UP,
though large, is not by a great deal so important
as that of England. Her mercantile marine is
much smaller than that of England, and Is far less
exposed to attacks by our-privateers.:. And her
navy is very powerful, and -it wants employment.
We shall hope and pray for peace.
CONGRESS Is still rather preparing for business
than transacting it, The House has. been princi
pally engaged with an application for the impeaoh
ment of Judge Watrous, of Texas. In the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, Mr. Phelps, of Mo.,
has been placed in the Chair. The character of
the Committee indicates favor toward an increase
of the tart!, but not much in the way of " spe
elfin " duties,
In the Senate the matter of most exciting in
terest is the removal of Judge , Douglas, from the
chair of the Committee on Territories, a position
which he had long occupied, and the giving of
that important position to Mr. Green.
DECEMBER 4.o.—The bill for repealinga portion

DECEMBER 14.—A large number of appoint

the Chinese, Japanese, and other treaties were,
in the Executive Session of the Senate, to-day„
referred for examipation. The substance of Com

to the steamer Washington, is, that said officers
asserted their right to make snob visit by reason

The Pittsburgh Gazette.
This journal, just entered ripen its seventy-eveond year, is, we ,belleve, the oldest newspaper
in Pittsburgh, and in all the West. It was
Istablished by Mr. Scull, in the year 1786, and
has hence been connected with literature, polities,
-treffeTatidliii - provenients, for seventy-two years,
aiding all that time in planting and building np
this mighty population West of the Alleghenies.
As political parties were divided in an early
day, the Gazette was Federal. With the remnants
of that party it became an integral portion of the
Whig system. When the Whigs ceased to be
known as a distinct portion of the political family,
it became Republican ; and now ranks among the
most able, dignified, turd gcntlemanly organs aid
advocates of the , party.
With mere partyism, however, we have nought
to do. The Gazette, under its presentproprietorr,
and its able editorial corps, we look upon as
being, for facts, a reliable paper. We find it
daily stored with the earliest news, and not de•
sled with narratives corrupting to good morals,
nor offensive to true delioaoy. '
The Slave Trade Attempted,
We see It stated that the yacht schooner Wan
deter has landed a cargo of Slaves, about three
hundred and fifty, from Africa, on the coast of
Georgia, near Brunswick, and senile of the ne
groes were sent up Retitle River on board of a
steamer. The District Attorney has arrested
three persona supposed to 'have been engaged in
the transaction. The proceeding is a very bold
one, if the report is true.

week, and will be frequent during the Winter.
Health of Pittsburgh.
The city is remarkably healthy at present.
During the week ending November 28th, there
were but nine interment" reported, viz : three of
males, and six females. Of these five were adults,
and four children. Two died of consumption,
two of scarlet fever, one of apoplexy, one of
pneumonia, one of inflammation of the stomach,
and one of convulsions.

Allentown Demociat says that contracts have been
entered into for the laying of the track along the
whole line of the. East Pennsylvania Road from
its junction with the Lehigh Valley at that place

Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Flem

one doss. It soon began to operate, when it
made thorough work. (I had a regular 'worm
factory within me.) I should judge it brought
away from me some two quarts of wormir; they
had the appearance of having bursted. I took
the remainder of the bottle at two doses. The
effect was, it brought away about one quart more,
all chopped to pieces. I now feel like a different

in all her ways, to know her was but to love her.
She had made a profession of religion, and given
evidence in her life that she was a true child of
God. In her last moments, she was sustained by
the Christian's hope, and cheered with the as
surance that for her "to the was gain." Thus
calmly, peacefully, ehe breathed her young life

efforts to promote theirs. Her severe and pro•
tracted illness was borne with Christian fortitude
and patience. As the approach of death cast a
shade over all earthly things, her prospect of the
rest of heaven grew brighter and brighter, and
with her expiring breath she bore a distinct and
affectionate testimony to- the love and faithful
ness of the Saviour, and commended him to
others, especially to, the loved ones she was
laming in the world.

DlED—November 18th, in the 72d year of his
age, Mr. Jonw Won't, of Dunbar Tp , Fayette
County, Pa.
Mr. Work was a citizen of great respectability
and moral worth. For - two years his sufferings
from inflammatory rheumatism were intensely
acute, and almost nnintermitting, and were gener
ally borne with exemplary patience. For several
weeks previous to the close of life, the disease
seemed to have left, in a measure, the general
system, and to have concentrated its virulence'
upon the head and brain, seriously disturbing the
intellectual balance. The deceased, at an age
somewhat advanced, made a public profession, in
the Presbyterian ()hutch of Laurel Hill, since
which time his conversation, in the main, has
been such as became the Gospel. Constitutionally
modest and,retiring, he shrank instinctively from
high pretensions and loud. professions. Yet he
I meekly and steadily aimed to discharge his duty.
In hie intercourse with the world, integrity and
probity shone prominent in all his `character.
For one of his age, his attendance on the public
means of grace was uniform .and conscientious.
On his dying bed, be greatly delighted in the
Scriptures read, the sweet songs of Zion, and in
fervent prayer; and for hours, by such exercises
as these, have his mental wanderings been held
in abeyance. Those very wanderings, by; their
devotional Spirit; often betrayed the deep seated
tendencies of the soul. -Yet before reason began
to reel upon her throne, it was indeed most
affecting and impressive to hear him utter his
parting counsel to his four adult sons, on - the
great themes of salvation. And.when the tide of
life ebbed for the last time, the last articulate nt-
terance that quivered on his dying lips was,
" Lord Jesus I" on whose bosom, we fondly hope,
he fell sweetly asleep, and then awoke in heaven.
S.
Don--September 80th, of typhoid fever, EMMA.
C., daughter of James and Annie Hall, of Slate
Lick, Armstrong County, Pa., aged 6 years.
The peculiar trait of little Emma's character
was that she loved the Saviour, and feared to
offend God. She waa early taught to pray, and
she took great delight is prayer. Her cus
tom was to retire three times a day for secret
devotion, for months before she was afflicted.
Teen, when sickness came upon her, and she was
too 'weak to sit alone, she wanted to be placed
upon her Itne'es to pray; and when she was too
feeble to utter the words she wished, it was evi
dent her heart was praying: When asked
whether she would rather die . than live, she
answered, "I think I would rather die and go to
heaven." When asked if she would not think
long to see her Pa and Ma; and little Walter,
she replied, " I think not, for I'll fove God so
dreadfully that I will not think of you." She
was very anxiolfs that she might not be deceived
in regard to her future happiness. " Are you
sure," said she to her mother, " that God will
save me if I pat my trust in him ?" And when
told that he would, she exolaimed, " Oh, then, I
aro sure that I shall be saved, for 1 am Sure I
pat my trust in him." She had a great desire to
know and uaderstand the " ten commandments`;"
and the very knowledge that any action was a
violation of the law of. God, was sUfficient at any
time to deter her from it. When she either
thought or did anything which she believed to be
wrong, she would come and tell her Ma, and
kneel beside her and pray to God for forgiSeness.
On being asked where She thought God was when
she prayed, she answered, "Up in heaven; and
then I feel, too, as 'if he were here with *me."
She asked to have a portion of Scripture read to
her every day, for months before her last sick
ness, and would net let it be forgotten. On
being told that her parents and her little brother
could not go with her when she - would die, but
that her Saviour would, she expressed her satis
faction, saying, "If he is with me I'll not be
afraid." When too weak to answer, if she still
loved God, she responded with a kiss; theu,
shortly after, sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. Those
who train.np a child in the way.he should go, will
surely find that God is, faithful. P.
