Further reflection has, however convinced us that it is our duty to enter our serious protest against this high handed conduct of the pretended Whig9 of the North and South wards of the city of Pittsburgh. Had these resolutions been a mere casual occurrence, gotten up in haste, and under the excitement of the moment, there might have been some excuse or palliation.

When an editor misquotes our observations, it ia but a poor plea to say that he gave the "substance" of them. If he had professed his intention to give only the substance, we could not have complained even though he had distorted them to suit his purpose.

In the case referred to, however, he did not even hoi.estly give the substance of our but omitted a material part of a sentence. Steam Boat Nlw Castle. We are informed that a new boat of this name has commenced running from this city to Beaver Town Point, to he connected there with a canal packet boat, to run to Newcastle, near the head of the Beaver Division of the Pennsylvania Canal. This loat is commanded by Captain William Reno. We have no doubt that this boat will do a profitable business to its owners, while it will furnish a great convenience to the public, and give another demonstration of the importance of the Beaver Canal, even in its present unfinished condition.

Strength of Partim. We yesterday made an estimate of the strength of the parties, in this county, based upon the most favorable data for the Whig party. We took the year 1831, when the Nationals had the largest vote they have ever had in the county. We gave them credit for up. wards of five hundred votes, which, we are certain, were given to Mr.

Davis by the Jacksonites, about Doran'a. We then supposed that eight hundred Jacksonites had abandoned that cause since that time; we further supposed that every man of these eight hundred had joined the Whigs, and finally, we supposed that not r. single man had been added to the Antimasonie ranks. This seems as much as even John B. Butler could ask, and after all this, the Antimasonie ticket must have the largest vote.

The Antimasonie vote being 1,943 The Whig vote The Jackson volo 577 Such was the exquisite harmony of the G33 ar. tists who, on the last dav. sansr and played tU Messiah in the recent concert at Westminster AL mmens interrup- music books, which, from their number in the general hush, resembled a smart hail ehower!

The "African Repository and Colonial Journal for August, contains a Supplement Report of the Committee of the Board of Managers of the Colonization Society, on the subject of its Finances.

They have since arrived, and this additional report has been accordingly prepared. The most gratifying passage, of the report i that in which the assurance is given, that the "crisis" of gloom and discouragement, in the affairs of the Society, set forth with such frankness in the February report, "has passed, and the causa remains uninjured." The grounds for this encouragement are detailed, and the assurance given, that the public shall be constantly advised of the condition of the Society and the Colony in all respects, with promptness, perfect frankness, and in minute detail.

We learn with pleasure, from an authentic source, that the surveys made and making of routs for this important road insure the certainty, not only that the road will be made, but that the face and form of tho country through which it will pass, are such as afford in one stretch a continuous line of 250 miles with such easy grade, that a locomotive can used throughout. Indeed, a line may, it is a-ceilained, be carried from a point in the vicinity Bmghampton, Broome to within eight mile otUikc Erie, without requiring the employment a stationary power.

ELISHA R. POTTER, Kingston, August 3d, 1S34. Post. Office Contracts. To show what a mere farce has been the system of letting the mail contracts, and of the palpable corruption which has been openly practised, we call the attention of our readers to the contract for carrying the mail between Georgetown and Cincinnati.

A bona fide proposal was put in to carry it for S1300. Another bid a sham was put in by one Thurston, a stage driver, for John Hutchins. The $1000 bid was accepted and was then transferred by Hut-chins stage driver, and Hutchins was selected to fix the improvement which was done at $4000. The whole was evidently an arranged affair. Thurston received probably a month's extra wages for the use of his name.

But now for the improvement! The committee wanted to know how this $1000 was improved up to $5000, and calling up the department, were informed that it was owing to a change from a day mail to a niyht mail, and for running through in twelve hours instead of fourteen. It did seem reasonable that more should be paid for a nishtj mail than for one running in jhe day but un- fortunately, the statement or the deDartment had fortunately, the statement of the department had not a word of truth in it. The Cincinnati and Louisville papers declare that the mail has uni-formly run by rfay," and the person who is staled to have made such a bargain with the department, positively denies having done so! The papers state further, that instead of the mail going through in twelve hours, it docs not get through in fourteen. The whole transaction from first to last seems to have been fraud, corruption, and falsehood. Will the globe give some explanation of it? We hope fbr the sake of all the parties concerned, that a satisfactory explanation may be given.

The only thing that can satisfy the public mind, will be to show that the contractor did agree to run a night mail that the mail did go at night in conformity with the agreement and that it went in twelve hours instead of fourteen hours. As to the manner in which the contract was obtained, the $1,000 bid by the stage driver and the transfer and improvement to five thousand, all explanation is useless. It stamped with indelible characters which nothing can wash out or mystify. We forgot to mention that the Post Master Gcnen in his answer to the committee, stated that Messrs. Chiles and Hutchins, (whose stage driver had obtained the contract) had fixed the proper compensation for the 'improvement' at $4,000.

The. Louisville Journal states on 'its own knowledge' that Mr. Chiles disclaims having made absurd a' decision as that attributed to him by the Post Master Mr. Barry must surely have been imposed upon. Telegraph.

N. Y. Jour. Com. In the Gazette, of the 13th int, under the head of "Political History," we inserted letters from Messrs.

Harrison Gray Otis and John Lowell, having a relation to certain remarks made by Mr. Pierce, of R. Island, in the house of representatives of the U. States. Mr.

Potter was referred to, by Mr. Pierce, as the authority of the latter for the assertions made by him, as to the designs of the Hartford conventionrejected in the letter of Mr. Lowell and, in consequence, Mr. Potter appears in the Rhode Island Republican, and, addressing the editor, says I have seen a letter in the Herald of the Times, from Mr. Lowell of Boston, denying his having' had any conversation with me respectingthe Hartford convention.

I think it due to him "as well as to myself to say that I never had ony conversation with him on this or any other subject, nor ever told any other person that I had that I never saw him to my knowledge, and have never had any correspondence with him. In consequence of my political opponents in this state charging me with being in favor of that convention by way of reproach, I have stated to several citizens of the state a part of a conversation that I had with col. Pickering, when he first received information from Massachusetts, (which if I recollect well, was communicated to him in. a letter from Mr! Lowell,) that they had appointed delegates to that convention, and he said he hoped Rhode Island would do the same- I told him I hoped they would have more prudence than to have any thing to do with it; that although I had been opposed to the administration and many of its leading measures, yet I was unwilling to do any thing to encourage Great Britain to continue the war or to exact hnr.W im- negotiation for peace than she otherwise would and was not willing to do any thing that mitrht tend to injure the country merely for the purpose of prostrating the administration. In consequence of this conversation, and the very great desire I had that Rhode Island should have nothing to do with the convention, I wrote several letters to my and political friends at home, and among others, to the hon.

James Rhodes, then, I believe, in the senate, and as I had no copies of them, I applied to him a few years ago, to ascertain whether he had preserved any of mem, a.iu nave now my possession the original of the letter (certified it is long, I will make the following extracts Here Mr. Potter introduces certain extracts from a letter to Mr. Rhode, dated October 23 1814, shewing hi a wish that Rhode Island should have nothing to do with that convention but as this has no concern with the matter before the extract is omitted. Mr. P.

then proceeds, and' says I am sorry to bo obliged to publish any thing-respecting this business. When I first obtained this letter, it was for the purpose of publication but although I had the evidence in my possession of my having been opposed to the convention, yet upon reflection, I concluded that it would be better to let the subject rest, and that I had rather We know, however, that the Antimasonie ticket has received a very considerable increase since 1831, because last year, when they stood alone, it received an average vote of 2,338. At the same time the combined Nationals and Jacksonites had an average vote of only 2,775 This, too, was when there were twelve hundred votes less polled in the county, where the Antimasonie strength lies, than there were the previous year. Of these ticelve hundred, we have no doubt that seven hundred, at least, were Antimasonie. This would swell the Antimasonie strength to at least three thousand and Jifly eight votes, leaving three thousand two hundred votes to the Whigs and Jacksonile3.

This gives the Whigs what they claimed in 1833, "the balance of power," and nothing more. Butlerisixg. Our readers, no doubt, all recol. lect the Committee or Vigilance in favor of Colonel Johnson, of one thousand men, which was made and published by the editor of the Statesman in 1831. They also, no doubt, recollect that by some extraordinary process this committee of one thousand, with their own ballots, and all their -influence and exertions with their friends, only gave Colonel Johnson six hundred and sixty tieo totes.

The editor of the Statesman found this kind of trick so effectual in "gulling the simples" until the election was over, that he is determined to try it again this fall. We observe that, at a meeting in the South Ward, a committee of one hundred and thirty is appointed, and we have no doubt that a similar trick will be resorted to in all the other wards. We would advise the editor of the Statesman to fet up a committee of one thousand, just for symmetry's sake. He is playing the same base trick now war. ne played in 1831, and a commits of one thousand would complete the parallelism of' me cases.

Of our fellow citizens, in the country, beyond the reach of the design and influence of such conspiracies, we would ask, how shall sound principles and correct information be disseminated amongf you, if a few designing and unprincipled men are permitted to assemble together in conclave, and there arrange matters, to overawe editors, and usher their denunciations to the world with the solemn sanctions of public ward meetings, held in different parts of the city, on rapidly succeeding evenings? Although these denunciatory resolutions have only as yet been passed in two wards of this city, yet we style this high handed conduct, "Pittsburgh Whigism, because we have heard no Whig express his disapprobation of it.

Indeed, so far from disapproving and expressing a detestation of such conduct, we have no doubt that the other wards will pursue the same reprehensible course. Their conduct is as unwise as it is reprehensible while they will utterly fail in their attempt to overawe and control us; they expose to the whole world the dangerous spirit which actuates them, and the utter hollowness of their professions of patriotism, and of love of liberty. They have commenced this war of denunciation against us; and these pretended Whigs shall find, that we have too much of the spirit of the true Whig in our composition to cower before them. We meet their denunciations with defiance, and will endeavor, before we are done with them, to render their power as harmless, as their spirit is malignant. Christianity the Work of Providence.

Dr. Croly-has just published a book to prove this proposition. A preface asserts the truth of Christianity, as proven by historical facts; and by the evidence of human nature; but holds that the present argument is yet conclusive. Its object is to prove that Christianity is the direct work of and this, not by any mere probability arising from its original weakness and subse quent power not from its moral superiority nor from the sufferings undergone by sincere minds in its cause nor even from its prophetic testimonies but from the comparison of facts acknowledged by all, without reference to relio-mus am nion. It will be shown that the leading facts' of Christian history have been the facts of the two former and the Patriarchal religion; and that those facts have occurred in the three, not merely in essence, but with the same purpose, and in the same order; yet that no mere dry sequence has been observed in the order of the respective dispensations, but that they have received in each those slight varia- 1 55 110ns 01 Shane anu color which cx hihit a snm-pm adapting hand, varying tlie process, but distinctly preserving the principle.

If three such series are established, (continues Dr. Croly,) maintaining this broad, plain, and unbroken parallelism with each other, it is utterly impossible to conceive that chance has had any thing to dr. with the subject. The most startling contradiction of the order of nature could not present a stronger difficulty than the supposition that this connection was the work of casualty. If it be shown to be true, the acknowledgment of a Providence, as the Author of Christianity, is no more capable of dispute than the properties of the triangle.

It is demonstration. But it will be found, that not merely the nature and order of the leading facts in the three dispensations are exactly the same, but that the individual characters of the leading men and nations are the same; that individuals, born two thousand years, and whole empires, assunder, have had precisely the same part in the several series; with the same character of mind, the same successes and reverses; that Joseph in Egypt, St. Paul in Greece, that Ezra in Luther in Germany, that Alexander in Asia, and Napoleon in Europe, have especially been the direct providential agents in the same departments of their series? nnA iK- uiuuiiu tui V.
