gress As Chairman of the Committee of Post Office and Post Roads he rendered eminent ser vices to the country and it will be difficult to sup ply his place We can ill afford to lose such men as Goggin of Virginia and Rockwell of Connecti cut The Advertiser the whig paper in Detroit has come out in favor of a compromise of the free terri tory question Chicago Democrat The Advertiser during the last Presidential cam paign advocated the election of Gen Taylor on the free soil ground and opposed Gen Cass with much bitterness because as it charged he would compro mise the rights of the free States by truckling to the South The anxiety of Gen Taylor for the success ot Mr amendment to the Cali fornia bill and the expectancy of office has worked a marvellous change It lays professed principles on the altar of self interests forffear of being ned" upon by a President who went in to the Presidential Chair with a pledge to the people that he had no purposes to accomplish no par ty projects to build no enemies to no thing to serve but my that he would not be the mere President of a party but would independent of party and the government untrarnmeled by party Whiggery seeking office and

would be burned Immedia tely a rush was made ladders procured and some brave fellows although blinded by the smoke and singed by the fire succeeded in rescuing the che rished image of Her Majesty They were received by the crowd below with the most enthusiastic cheering and immediately the National Anthem was raised by six thousand British voices and the chorus rolled through the city like thunder Save the Queen As a Yankee we would sooner plead guilty to the charge of selfishness and cupidity that British tories assail us with than be found exhausting all our patriotism in shouts for the preservation of the pic ture ot a temaie automaton while our archives were being licked up by flames incendiaries torch Rock Mt Burtiius of the Canadian Parliament Home The Montreal correspondent of tbe Courier states that the indignant demonstration in Montreal which resulted in the destruction of the 1 arliament House was not the work of the rabble but of several hundreds of respectable persons men who on all ordinary occasions would be as fierce in maintain ing the law and respect for authority as they were now in violating both The writer adds: I believe that hardly any thing was saved the two magnificent libraries of the Upper and Lower House numbering not far from 50000 volumes the rolls of Parliament: the numerous copies of the statutes and journals the records an immense mass of private papers involving to a great extent the fortunes of individuals the pictures with an exception or two: the whole of the furniture were burnt up like tinder A more fearful sight 1 never saw Many persons who were in the place es caped with the utmost of difficulty among them Sir A McNab the Hon Mr Badgley and two or three other gentlemen who had been attempting to save some of the books in the library ess than half an hour the whole of the long range was one mass of fire the ruddy flames pouring out from every window bursting through the roof with a terrific roar There teas not the slightest attempt made to save the Houses from deduction! 1 he great majority of the fire companies were concerned in the outbreak conspicuous by their scarlet cloth ing not onedrop of water would they pour on the houses of Parliament but they exerted themselves to the utmost when the flames communicated to the adjoining buildings! The only anxiety displayed bv anv of the bystanders was that the two superb pictures of the Queen should be saved and both ol them were carried out but I fear much injured One of them only arrived here last summer at a cost to the Province of six hundred pounds Gen Taylor's Interference with The Hon Giddings attended the Conven tion of the of the Western Re serve nt Cleveland last week and he made a speech in substance as follows: Mr Giddings was loudly called for' and he took the stand? He explained the grounds on which this new party was based and claimed that it was distinct from all others He soon called the atten tion of the audience to Gen administration and asked for the evidence of his devotion to the principles of freedom He dwelt with much feeling and effect upon the horrors of the slave trade in the District of Colum bia: the efforts of himself Gott Root Palfrey and others in the last Congress to abolish the ac cursed traffic there He pointed out the whig mem bers of the north who had voted to repeal Gott's resolution and showed how they had each and all been rewarded by Gen Taylor since his installa tion Truman Smith had been tendered the home department with a salary of $6000 Brady of Pa a salaried office of $3000 Irvin of Pa a salary of 6 or $7000 Edwards of Ohio Superintendent of Hospitals Mr said that much as he had denounced Mr Polk for rewarding northern traitors neither he nor Gen Jackson nor any other President had ever prostrated his executive office to that degree to uphold slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia as had Gen Taylor within the first four weeks of his administration He repeated the charge made at Warren con cerning Gen interference with members of Congress said the National Intelligencer confessed but attempted to avoid the charge He said that question would most likely come up at the next session when lie snouia meet ms face to face Cholera at Passengers that came over from Chicago on the cars Monday night re port several cases of the cholera as having occur red in that city The City papers of Saturday say nothing in regard to the epidemic and if the report is true the cases have no doubt occurred among passengers who have arrived by the Illinois canal from St Louis and the cities on the Missis sippi People should be cautious about giving credit to every idle report put in circulation as it only multiplies and magnifies by traveling When any real cases of the Asiatic Cholera does take place we shall probably be informed of it through the Board of Health of that city The President of the Board has issued a caution the citizens strangers and emigrants to be watchful of health and above all on the very first approach or appearance of disorder of the stomach and bowels to take good counsel and proper remedies in the very onset of any such disease as Diarrheau Chol era Morbus or the like All

Sir John ranklin The utmost efforts of the British Government to unravel the mystery that hangs over the Expedition of Sir John ranklin had up to last accounts from Eng land produced no definite results The object was the discovery of a northwest passage to the Pacific often attempted but never successful and Sir John ranklin in May of 1845 left England under the auspices and patronage of the Government Two fine ships composed the expedition the Erebus and the Terror and were manned by 138 men Noth ing has been heard of him since July 1845 Three expeditions were sent in 1847 in search of him but as yet they have made no report of success in their mission and of two nothing has been heard at all Renewed efforts are to be made under the promise of large rewards to find this daring navigator but the prospect of success does not seem very flattering as the large amount of the reward offered by the British Government and Lady ranklin would im ply The whig State Convention met at Nashville on the 23d of Apr and nominated Gov Neil Brown for re election The Nashville Banner whig General Trousdale for his private virtues and honors him for his public Of course the Banner will not feel very bad when it learns that the dem ocrats have elected Gen Governor In one spot at least in this country MayDay is ap propriately honored It is at Catskill There on the highest village grounds with the noble Hudson at their feet the glorious old mountains in the dis tance and the radiant valley of the Catskill between the Maypole goes up crowned and garlanded with flowers a procession of perhaps forty young girls clad in white and accompanied by twelve flower (rirls from the beautiful cortege of the fair young Queen of May preceded by the Bishop for the co ronation and the Lady Hope prototype of that hap py age and the accompaniest let us trust per haps less vivid of all ages Thus they proceed to the May pole where after the coronation ceremonies the address of the Bishop and the replies of the Queen and the Hope they dance around the pole in grateful homage to the day and its reign ing sovereign forming altogether a delightful and refined pastime which if the over wise and se date reject beauty and youth and innocence greatly enjoy Long may the custom live in the obser vance Alb Argus Canadian News The news from Canada which comes to us by installments is particularly interest ing and exciting But we confess we can see in it no great promise of particular good to Canada except incidentally and morally It comes from the wrong party the tories who are out of power and provoked that rebellion losses are paid by a Liberal Parliament Having no idea of ever re belling themselves they dislike to see such a pro cedent set They look upon it as a premium upon rebellion which they think will never bring any thino to their pockets We do not see in this matter any just invocation for rebellion There is no act of oppression of the Home Government of which they complain It is an act of their own Parliament a legislature elected by themselves and will of course be supported by the liberal party Roch Adv Ten per cent Investments We hear of many investments under our

It'is rumored in some of the papers near Wash ington that Mr Meredith is busily employed on an examination of the Independent Treasury with a view of suggesting important modifications and of preventing the accumulation of specie in the various With him it is understood that the present independent system is condemned in advance but what may be urged as a substitute remains to be learned He dare not advise the in corporation of another National Bank for the of about the last was too strong for honest noses The pet bank system is condemned by all save the few Conservatives of the Rives and Talmadge school The Tyler Exchequer has but few supporters and never had many has been so savagely assailed by Clay Co as well as by Democrats that the present Secretary will not venture to meet the wrath of Achilles who is to be once more in the Senate to avenge himself and friends The new Secretary is in It will not satisfy his party to remain in statu quo nor will they agree upon any proposition which may be urged on their attention Gen Taylor Party A part of the political moonshine of Taylorism before election was that by his quiet impartial was going to allay if not wholly extinguish party spirit How he has carried out this pledge may be seen in the indiscriminate pro scription of democrats holding office during the last two months and also in spir it with which democrats are assailed by the con fidentail and pampered organ of the administra tion at Washington Read the following from the National Whig: from the very nature of their creed and political objects are habitual vow The whole constitution of their profession ot faith is at enmity with their practice They say one thing and do another They seldom keep a politi cal promise They make pledges to break them They talk loudly of their purity and execute cor ruption They boast of equal rights to all and confine them to the favored few They thrust themselves forward as the defenders of the good people but prey upon their substance all the while They pretend to watch over the interests of the country but mean all the while the interests of party They assume to possess all the statesman ship and wisdom of the age but their statesman ship and wisdom are low cunning and brazen igno rance They affect not to proscribe men for their sake while they punish every man who doesnot consort with them in their political de signs and purposes Thej' go about preaching against political vices while they are sepulchres within The whole existence of the Democratic party is a deception The body itself has two faces It is double minded It requires men to worship truth and untruth at the same time It is a system of pledge breaking from beginning to This is the spirit in which second Wash of George Washington forgive the profanation) is now administering the Govern ment Ruttla and TurUey The great Catharine bad a finger post setup in her dominions with this significant linej Road to Constantinople Anyone whp will turn their eyes to the dominions of the Emperor Nicholas will see the most active preparations mak ing to take to that road they have been making these preparations for the last ten years and when the first gun is fired from the banks of the Danube look out for a war which as the Duke of Welling ton once said not be a small The war against the Circassians for some years back was to conquer and secure the opening to another road for Russia: one of equal importance in the com pletion of the gigantic plansof Road to Hindostan Mr Norris of Philadelphia has by this time constructed 200 locomotive en gines a railroad from the heart of Russia has been completed to the Black ISea a lateral cut will reach the Danube a large squadron well equipped is within sight of the Sea of Mamore Russian troops in different quarters are marching upon Wallachia and Moldavia gun boats are getting ready to go down the Danube: an alliance offensive and defen sive has been formed between Austria and Russia the combined forces will amount to a million of men with a battery of 500 pices of and what is to be done with this army more poxverful than that of Xerxes To drive the Turks out of Europe in to Asia: and when Italy and Germany are tranquil then the great bloxv will be stride But will it be successful It cannot be otherwise a rench army can only reach the confines of Turkey through the Austrian dominions and they will not be per mitted to cross that territory England cannot transport an army except by sea a navy can go up the Dardanelles and stop the egress of the Russian navy but before the necessary preparations can be made to protect the integrity of the Ottoman Porte Russia and Austria will be in possession of Constantinople True it is that Tur key will have on army of 300000 men on the fron tier and a navy of forty ships besides one hundred thousand men from Egypt and very considerable resources besides a single conflict might check the advances of Russia alone but the allied powers will move with such celerity and promptness from diffe rent points that they will be under the walls of Con stantinople before Turkey willl have herallies to unite with in defence ot the Empire XV see no hope therefore of saving Constantinople if this alliance is made with Austria and as the Austrian Minister has left Constantinople in anger it may be said that a quasi war already exists between the two governments How far the threats of England and rance may check the movements of Russia remain to be seen but if Russia is determined to go on we may look out

the Government Bank anil Government Bankers is now pretty generally understood that there is to be established here in Washington a new banking house so far as to denominate it tbe Go vernment and the persons controlling it government It may be remem re that Hon Andrew Stewart used to tae great de light apparently in always bestowing this title upon Messrs Corcoran 4c Riggs when they we engaged in loaning money in the government a borrowing from it We have no objection to the named but must certainly demur to the assertion that has been made that these whoever the may be come here to upon business at in stigation or under the auspices of the I real en the United States In our judgment Gen ay lor neither knows nor cares whether bank or a dozen shall be established at the seat ment Mr Jaudon (well known in the financial world) Mr Blatchford and others will commence banking operations very This Mr Jaudon says the Ohio Statesman figured in the old bank of the United States as its Cashier during the time it made war upon the Administration Previous to its up he was sent to London as its agent at a very large sa lary tion placed Mr Jaudon on the same ciers with Nicholas Biddle or the present this Government without law a sort of fungus on tbe be feed with pap from the Department until the In dependent Treasury law can be repealed and a Congress procured a majority of which will bow to Executive dictation sufficiently low to give it a character and thus secure to themselves an im mortality of infamy When whiggery rode into power in 1840 it was on a pledge of opposition to a charter of a Bank of the United States Daring the first Con they violated their pledges and passed two bills for Government Banks both of which were vetoed by Capt Tyler The givings out in the above article from the will show that whiggery lacks the power not the inclination to give the people another Bank to rob them and the government as did the one controlled by Nich olas Biddle Jaudon and Co Whissjery in Principle and in Practice Wliiffo erv used to consist when out of power in denouncing the doctrine that the victors be long the but now when in power by the false pretences of its Presidential candidate whig gery consists in practicing upon the principle that the victors belong So far the only practical measures of second Washington have been to turn democrats out of office and put whigs in tlieir places lie Ohio The of Ohio Giddings leader resolved at their meeting at Cleveland on the 2nd ult on a separate third party organization throughout the State The following are some
