This statement every body knows is totally false; the Morning' Post never said that Ritner was in favor of Polk What we did say was, thut ho as opposed to Clay, and we have good grounds for believing that at the time we published the report, Mr Ritner made no hesitation to inform his friend? that his toolings were hostile to the whig candidate.

Clay AND THt fuMPHli.MHL. The whole course ot lli.Mit Ct.Ar, at the Exli a Session of 1811, and the Regular Session of 18 42, proves his firm deiei mi- nation to adhere to the Compromise! Act.

He was ready to mukeevery other question (always excepting a Rank,) bend to the ultra Southern scheme of a hori. lontal tariff of 20 percent. He was willing to tax tea, coffee, and all other articles that had been admitted duty free, because they did not come in cumpeti- tion itli our own manufactures he was willing even to forego his grand humbug of Distribution of the Land Sa! -s, if it was necessary to "preserve the Compioni-ue Act inviolate." Intho Senate, August 10, 13-11, Mr Clay said He was prepared to show at the proper lime, that, vith-ontany violation cf the Compromise Act, which he DESIRED TO PRESERVE INVIOLATE' ns much as any man on that floor, the bill from the House, now on the table, would yield a revenue of 23 or 2D millions." This as the bill to raise revenue fiom aiticles theretofore free among them TEA and COFFEE, which VV. W. Irwin voted against, and for this vote the Tariff whigs of Pittsburgh called a meeting to denounce him.

Now let us see how Mi Clay proved his sineeiity in declaring that ho "DF.smcD To pkkskrvk the Com-IMtoMlsK inviolate." For that purpose, he sustained as we have shown, the Tea Tax Bill and was willing to drop Distribution if necessary to secure that object. On the 23d of August. 1341, while the Land Distribution was under consideration, Mi Berrien ottered this amend mem: That if'nt any lime during the existence of this net, lime should te an imposition of duties on imports inconsistent with the provisions ofthe act ot March 2, 1333, entitled "an act to modify the act jf the 1 lib ot' Kehruaiv I 832. and all the nets imposing duties on imports, and beyond literate of duly fixed by that act, to wit, 20 per centum on the value of such imports or any of them, than the distribution provided in this act shall be suspended, and shall so continue until the cause of its suspension shall be removed, when it not prevented by other provisions of this act, such distribution shall be. renewed.

Upon this the vote s'ood "Yeas Allen, Archer, Barrow, Bayard, Berrien, Calhoun, Clay of Alabama. CLAY of Kentucky, Clayton, Cuthbert. Fulton, Graham, Henderson, Ker, King, Mangum, Merrick, Mon-head, Porter Preston, Saviec, Simmons, Smith of Indiana, Tallmadge, und Walker' 25. Nays Bates. Benton, Buchanan, Choate, Dixon, Evans, ll'iulington, Linn.

Miller. Plenties, Southard, Sturgeon. Tappan, White, Williams, Woodbridge, Wright, and Young" 13. It will be seen that Clay was chiefly sustained in this measure bv ihe Southern whigs. one of hom pro posed the project, ith a view of making the Nonh pav the penalty of touching the Compromise.

Mr Clay and his friends base their Distribution project on the assumption that the Public Domain belon of lisrht. to tin) States. Now, if this lie true, what measure of expediency or policy can justify them in vinl.OMiir it-lint thev thus solemnly declare to fjo a Yet, Mi Clay is willing to defraud the States of what he gays is their undoubted "light." in order "preserve the Compkomise act inviolate." He in effect tell, the Tariff States: I am afraid to leave the Compromise at ycur mercy I ish to "pre nerve it inviolate" and therefore I will suspend a rod over you I will put you under bonds to keep the peace towaids this act. That you have a right to your share of the Land Sales, I have always argued but you shall not have a ant of it, if you touch the Compromise act." We hope the poor benighted higs, who are deluded wilh Henry Clay's professions ubnut Distribution, will examine this vote of his, rind see the terms on which he is willing to let them haye what ihey contend is their rightful share of the land fund. wish those whigs, who are ihe honest friends of ihe Tariff, would ponder a moment on Mr Cr ay's solemn plcdgo to "preserve the Compromise act inviolate."

Shunk for Governor: In addition to the communication over my name which you will find in the Post of 2 1st of August, I submit for your consideration lh following brief letters received from officers of the late Democratic meeting.

Pittsburgh, August 2 1, 184 1. Dear Sir: In answer to your note of the 19th inst. I have to say that I did not see the proceedings before publication, and that I entirely approve of your Dorr Resolutions. As they were adopted by the meeting they ought undoubtedly to have been published in the body of the regular proceedings, and in my opinion neither editors nor officers of a meeting have any right to suppress or garble the proceedings of a meeting of the people. Respectfullyyours, fee.

R. H. KERR, one of the Secretaries. August 20th, 1814. Dear Sir: lour note of the 19th inst.

is received. I not only heartily approved ofthe resolutions respecting Gov. Dorr, but as the question on them was put by the Chairman to the meeting, and thev were approved of by the meeting, 1 consider that they were in order, and made soby the action ofthe meeting, and ought to have been published among the regular proceedings. I did not see the proceedings previous to publication, nor since. Yours, To E.

D.Gazzam, Esq. A. BONNAFFON. Pittsburgh, August 20, 18 11. Dear Sir; I have just now received your note (post, mark this day.) and in answer can say that 1 regretted to see the notice of your excellent Dorr Resolutions in the shape they appeared in the 'Post-' I was much pleased with your speech, as well as tho resolutions regarding the persecuted Gov.

Dorr, and vo-tud for the resolutions. It struck me at first blush that it might not be very appropriate to orl those resolutions at a meeting called for a specific object. But when the special business of the meeting was transacted and the object so good a one, and with all, being sustained so near a unanimous vote, of so large an assemblage, (not more than twenty in the negative.) I should have preferred to have them published in a respectful shape. I did not get to tho meeting in time for the organization, therefore did not know I had lieen honored with an office, consequently I did not think of looking afu the proceedings and did not see them previous to pub- licatton. Yours, cvc.

Had ibey been, I would have protested against the form they weie published in the Post 1 was sorry hen the gentle- man who presided (solitary and alone) pronounced 1 them out of order, but the meeting told a verv different tale when the Yeas and Nays were taken.

Yesterday morning about one o'clock, a destructive fire occurred in the midst of the row uf frame buildings on 8th street below South, which extended from Em-eline alley up to South, and fiom 8th street for several buildings up. The hole row on 8th street was completely burned out commencing at Emeline street. They were occupied by Philip Wood a tallow chandler, who had a large stock of tallow on hand, a j'or-tion of which was saved. I le lost, however, a quantity of this material together with machinery, wood, fine horse, amounting to about $1,000. Thisbuild-ding was owned by Mr Patrick A.

Fnean. The next building was occupied as a stable and hay lofr, by Mr. Mnyland Gilbert. Three sheds fronting on oth street, used as a stable by Robert McClathery, and Robert Bradford, were entirely consumed, ith a large quantity of hay and straw. The small biick building nt the corner of South and 8th street, occupied by Mr.

May-land Gilliert as a feed store, was saved through the exertions ofthe firemen. The flames spread to the rear ofthe property of Mr. Arnold Blomcr, a looking glass frame maker, hose shop was on South street, next, above the feed store. The building which as a large frame one; together with a large quantity of finished work, materials, tools, machinery, and a horse and two dogs was totally consumed. Mr.

B. had effected an insurance of 150 upon his fixtures his loss, however, he estimates nt about $1000. A three story dwelling adjoining, occupied by colored persons. and anolhcrim-mediatelv opposite on Emeline street, the projierty of Cebbard Harris, were considerably damaged, and ill doubtless require about $1000 to repair them. The roof of another house in South street as burned off.

and the water thus being let into it, the furniture and stock was destroyed. This was tenanted by a pawnbroker. The above fire burned for a considerable time, and covering a great, space of ground, serious apprehensions were felt for the more valuable juojierly in llic vicinity. Pennsytvanian of Monday. Duelling Forbid.

We are happy to pcreeie lhat the English Admirably have issued un order against duelling, which in effect leaves no bud consequences in refusing to accept a challenge. The instructions state, that as obedience to orders is the essential and governing principle of tlie naval service, these officers may rest ussuied of the support and approbation of Admiralty, who having had the misfortune of giving offence to, or having injured or insulted others, shall frankly explain. offer redress for the same, or had the misfortune of receiving oflence, injury, or insult from another, shall cordially accept frank explanation, apology, or redress, aie refused to be made or nccejited, shall submit the matterto be dealt with by the captain or commanding officer of the ship or fleet; and every officer who shall act as hereinbefore directed, and consequently refuse to accept a challenge, ill be deemed 10 have acted honorably, and to have evinced a requisite obedience, not only to this order, hot also to the pleasura of the iufcn. Bait Sun. From Sauvoo.

We have intelligence from Nau-voo to the 5th inst. All was quiet. It appears that the reports of the appearance of Joe Smith and the appointment of his son us prophet are false, and 01 i-ijinated in a desire to injure the Mormons abroad. Sidney Rigdon had returned to Nauvoo from Pittsburg, and preached to the people on the 4th inst. I conse quence of the death of Samuel Smith, Joe's brother, since the murder of the projihet, Sidney Rigdon will be chosen Patriarch of the Mormon flock.

He is their master spirit, and will make a shrewd and energetic leader. There are five widows of the Smith family family now living in Nauvoo; the mother of ail, and the late wives of Joe, Hiram, and their two brothers. Accessions to ihe Mormon strength continues to h. quite large. 1 Nauvoo the usual activity ii apparent, and the Temple is steadily going up in its unique form and shape.

Its style of architecture is of ihe pure Mormon order. wo subsequently saw itcorroborated in the Eastern papers. That Gov Ritner did, in theearly part ofthe contest.de-clure himself opposed to Clay, we have not the slightest doubt. A desire to be a consistent Liberty man, would impel him to oppose the man who impiously declares that slavery is a sanctified institution, and a ('collection ofthe manner in which his application to General Harrison for an office, was opposed by Henry Clay, would not allow him, if he has any feeling of self-respect, to give the hig candidate a voluntary support. Rut '-Old Joe," as the jocular Deacon calls him, lias somew hat more than un ordinary hankering alter the 'flesh jiots of Egypt;" although he docs not like to bow to the "dark spirit uf slavery," yet be has no objection to ''crook the pirgnant hinges of the knee' tc the golden calf, when it appeals in the shape of a good office.

Nobody doubts but that he did declare himself opposed to Clay at the opening of the Presidential campaign; it was asserted by hundreds of his friends, and every one now believes that hi opposition would have continued if he had not been brought over by arguments somew hat similar to those useJ by the fifteen whig to convince Deucon White that he ought to support the man who had 'throttled the Tariff." The history of Rimer's conversion to Chivism, if made public, would furnish another startling evidence of the corrupt means by which the whigs would elevate themselves to power. But like all dishonest schemes, the evil of their nets will recoil upon themselves, and they will soon find that in bring- ing Ritner out for Clay, they have made as bad a bargain as did the fifteen whigsof this city, hen they em. braced the immaculate and unpurchasable Deacon. rrtTbe fury of the whigs is most ferocious at the prospect of Mr Shunk's nomination. His course through life has been so fair and faultless, that none ofthe whigjournalsthat have any decent pretensions, attempt to make the slightest ftbjection to him, either on the score of his merits or his qualifications.

But the Cowboys of the federal party ihose who aie supported by the decent whig? on account of the unscrupulous manner in which they will malign the personal characters of the democratic candidates these loathsome jackalls are now let loose upon Mr Shook, to drag him down from ihe high eminence which he occupies in the esteem of his fellow citizens. Is it possible that any of the higs are so blind as to suppose that the unmeasured abuse hich is daily heaped upon Mr Shunk by the foul American, will do that gentleman any injury? They cannot think so. 'Ihey must be awaie that Mr Shunk is too well know nto the people uf the state to be effected by such vituperation, and that the vileni ss of these attacks on one ofthe purest and most upright of men, will only cause the virtuous and good to rally ith more zeal to his suppoit. No person can expect the friends of Mr Shunk to pay any attention to the brutal assaults that have been made on him bv the American: ihev are loo low to deserve notice, and as their author, or reputed author, is universally admitted to lie unworthy of belief, the only effect thev will produce, ill be to excite public indigna tion against the men ho permit such an unprincipled slanderer to be an organ of their party, Frooimif what the Whisk AFFIRM. To meet Mr Clay'sjol jectiori toa protective Taritf.and his argunienjs in tvor of the horizontal duties of the Compromise Act, someof the higs affirm that high, duties would cause low prices.

Many persons would bo disposed to regard this as an absurdity too supremely ridiculous to waste time in combating it, but if they will reflect for a moment, and examine the present prices of all ngrieul tural products, they will find that the whigs have an excellent basis for their arguments in favor of low prices. When their assertion is doubted, the whigs refer with triumph to the piiceof grain in our markets, and thus prove that the products of farmers, at least, have been reduced by an increase of duties. heat, which formerly brought 75 cents, 87 cents, and sometimes us high as 81,00, is now selling at 50 cents, and oats, a staple pr.idu.ct of" our far mers, brings only 123 cents per bushel. To be consistent, and to prove the truth of their assertion, that high duties cause low prices, the whigs must attribute this state of things to ihe operations of the Tariff. But we differ with them in this inference; we do not concede that such is the effects of the Tariff; we think it is more attributable to the policy which Mr Clay lays down, to give no protection to the agricultural interests of the country.

"Agriculture ants but little or no protection," says Mr Clay, and it. gets "but little or no protection," and the consequence is, that tbo farmers are selling their products for half prices, while cithers, engaged in branches of industry that are propeHv protected, are realizing splendid fortunes. A Fact, no Doubt. An English paper, the London Atlas, alter abusing the democrats in the true whig slang ofthe dav, and ajqdauding the man who 'throttled the says: Undoubtedly, iheref re, ith Mr Clay as President, and the whig party in the ascendant in Congress, we Houkl.c- viueli more camjoriaoie in regard to our foreign relations, and mignt look forward with more confidence to an adjustment of the awkward questions respecting the Oregon frontier, which, if neglected, may at seme future period, lead to serious embarrassments." i I approve any other audacious act of national robbery tuM glie 10 commit. Is it incumbent on American people to place a party in power that look more to the comfort of England than the tcaintenance of our own national rights? Jf so, the should vote for the candidate thut is so lavishly praised by the English journals, anil thus signify their willingness to submit to any national insult or injury thai ili make John Bull "feel comfornbie."
