From iktBaUimnr Ameoemn, irHfo MrSAsRRiaoi' Poiict. 5, The following synopsis sett forth ^riedly,jre| clearly the leading object* for which the

Whig* ore contending the political now going on. A* party they si 4 strong ground arid if they are true to %en#

Selves, ihcy xan dcfend it against all assailnnts. il is a great and comprehensive spirit that animates this party—this guardian srftiy of constitutional liberty. Large, national interest—permanent and *ubateMtiil«interests— in which the prosperity of the people-and the

independence of the Republic are involved, donstitute the firm basis upon whiefvthe politieal organization 'of the Whig party rests. We repeat what we said some* day* ago, even nt the risk of again incuring the rebuke of the Kichmotid h*nq»ire,r, tlmt the Whtgs are the only party 4hnt know how to take care of the country^

When was th«freeverexhib

ited ft more miscrable s^tnhfew of misrule than has been witnessed in the mattngeftwmt of the government since Gen. JACKSON undertook toiiicftlente new principles of democracy I What government on earth could hold Up under such rude Assaults upon the inier e*w of the country and the well being of the ... people If the era of 1840 had been much longer postponed If the beauties of the Sub-

Treasury and the blessings of free importatiohs had been allowed time fully to,disclose themselves, what remnant of national pros* 'i perily would have been left amid the wrecks and ruins with which a blighting policy was cumbering the ground ?,

The YVIiigs came to restore they came in obedience to the loud call of the people—of a people suffering QS never a free people suffered. before from the mismanagement of their own rulers. The Whigs came to build up the prostrate fabric of a national system—to introduce order anil consistency where all was -confusion. They have donp what they could the coyniry knows why they have not done •more. But as sure as intelligence remains with the people to know their own interests and to perceive the causes of public -embarrassments, so sure will the mission of the Whig party be gloriously accomplished in the restoration of sound principles end the time for will come soon as the man whose. position Jms enabled him to delay the progress of reform shall be shaken from the chair which he so unworthily holds:

The Whig policy, on all the main points of difference between us nnd our opponents, is pluin and unequivocal. The restoration of a SOUND AND UNIFORM CURRENCY for the People of the whole Union the systematic, effective, permanent PROTECTION OF ooit HOME LABOR against 'depressing and ruinous foreign comtition, and the DISTRIBUTJON OP THE PUBLIC LAND PKOCRBDS to the Stutcs—-these are the objects inscribed broadly on our banners— the measures for which we earnestly contend. Unconnected us they may superficially oppenr, th^y arc in reality parts of the same comprehensive, beneficent AMEKICAN SYSTEM designed and directly calculated to elevate and improve the condition of the toiling millions of our countrymen. A PROTECTIVE TARIFF will secure steadier and more ample employment with fuller rownrd to the productive labor of pur country a UNIFORM NATIONAL CURRBNCY will contribute largely to. this end, by restoring to labor the /our or five per cent* now substracled from the avenge price of its production to pay twenty thousand brokers for their now necessary services in facilira:ing the exchanges of values, and the LAND DIS* jruiBUTtoN combines with, and is essential to protection, by "securing our Home Industry Pgainst sudden and ruinous changes in the Tariff* to correspond with the capricious and fluctuating receipts into the Treasury from Public Lund, while at the same time it will contribute most beneficently to Internal Improvemeut, by affording means for its prosecut ton, a support to the State Credit, and a barrier against Taxation. Thus each of these cardinal (natures of the Whig policy interweaves with and is auxiliary to every other, while altogether minister to the great end of increasing tho activity and productiveness of our Home Industry, and promoting the comfort, increasing the wealth, and securing the independence of our People.

SOMETHING CHEERING, te* We had no room yesterday to remark upon matter which, while it struck our mercantile friends with surprise, must certainty have excited pleasurable reflections. We refer to our publications of "American Provisions at Liverpool." The remarks appended to those prifcc* denote an active demand for lard, beef, pork, hams, (canvassed and pickled,) grease and cheese—-and it is a source of great pride, that as regards hams those which are mentioned in tho price current alluded to, are said to have been so good ns materially to have reduced the demand for Westphaliut and other distinguished preparations of them. It is certainly a matter of congratulation, not only that these articlesare in such good repute, but that American enterprise has shipped these American products.to such an extent as to demand in the commercial papers of England A department by themselves. If after the ex* ipeoses of freight down tho Mississippi and acwws the Atlantic, and the. payment of very heavy duties in English ports, we can produce auch immense quantities of these articles,at «o low a rate as to be able to compete with England on Iter soil, we can compete with her '*g§ in all markets of the world.

BtU as yet, this trade nnd shipment of our satjilus produce of the West &re in their infancy. Tho very inference deducible from separate '*prices current" allotted to this pro«duee in foreign papers, will havo the effect to If tarn the attention of thousands to a presecution of the business which ceo be founded upon it. Then will arise a competition among the peoplo of the West—a competition as to a who shall prepare and put up theaearticles 1 in the best and neatest manner, mod tbe ex-

There was a strike of colliers at fcilmarnook on the 21st ult* The military were called out, but at the last dates they had not found it necessary to fire upon the rioters.

FOREIGN HARVESTS.

"The harvest is almost entirely gathered in throughdut the test of Eurbpe and we are enabled to furnish the following comparative estimates, collected from the most accurate accounts:—In Silesia, there has been a good average harvest. In Poland, in Gallicia, and in the Duchy of Posen, there has been a decidedly good harvest, and the same may be said with'respect to Russia. In Hungary, the crops have been most satisfactory and in the Banat, which is regarded as the granary of the country, they have been doubly as productive as those of last year. In Transylvania and the Turkish provinces, the harvest has also been most plentiful.' Similar abundance has also been experienced in Moravia. Every uhere the grain is of good quality, and yield froin 15 to 20 per cent more flour than in humid years. It may therefore be fairly predicted, {hat, in the East of Europe, the price of wheat will fall instead of rising, even though foreign demands should be very great.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Morning.

MOST EXPENSIVE FIRE.—A fire, the most extensive and destructive hns occurrred in this town for many yenrs past, broke out about 3 o'clock this morning in a paint manufactory and oil warehouse in Paiseley street, which is a small street leading from Great Howard street to Bath street. It is surrounded by warehouses and sheds used for bonded goods, and filled with produce to the top. From the inflammable nature of the materials, and a s!iff*breeze from the N. W. blowing at the time, the fir¥spread with inconceivable rapidity, extending up to the front of Great Howard street,. und across Fornby street, and up to Neptune street, covering an extent of two acres of ground. Up to half past nine o'clock, fifteen warehouses of the first class most of them five stories high, and about the same number of bonded sheds, of similar dimensions, had been burnt, and the fift was still unchecked, being greatly favored by the blowing. We regret to state that the dreadful occurrence has been attended with several casualties and the loss, of some lives. One of the most active of the fire brigade perished by the falling of the gable-end of a warehouse, which, with all the burning mass it contained, fell outward into Fornby street, and buried him beneath the burning mass. At the same time many persons working in the sheds on the opposite of.the street, were greviously injured by-the falling of the front wall of the warehouse opposite. Several of them were speedily got out and carried to the hospital two of tbem wo believe, are in a hopeless state.

We subjoin a list of the various-sums which tho Insurance Offices are said to have suffered by this calamity but, of course, we cannot ourselves for its^accuracy:

CHARAGTEnsTic.—-We find in the Ohio Statesman, the following letter from General SCOTT. When some fifteen months ago he thrust upon the public his confession of faith as a candidate for tho Presidency, his prrUnce for so doing, was the innumerable calls for his opinions and it now appears that similar appeals for ".seven montki" past, have compelled him once more to "o'er step the modesty of nature" and favor the people with- his "we**."

ri, A WONDER OF PAflERlTfOlfc.'' An Italian artist, Signor Andrea Gambas* sini, is now exhibiting in London a model pf St. Peter's at Rome, on a grand scale, showing both the interior and exterior of that wonderful edifice to the minutest degree of accuracy. It is on the scale of one to a hundred, being twenty-one feet in length and six feef four inches in height. The signer wasengairteen years in its construction, he exterior of the model is of itself a sureprising effort of ingenuity it is constructed of maple, and is«dmira'ble, regarded as apiece of joinery merely. The architectural forms are sharnly defined, the columns and capitals accurately cut, and the statues delicately carved in ivory.

ROBBER sHof BY WOMAN.—Several daring robheriee of homes have recently been made in Pittsburgh. On Friday night some three or four men attempted to get into ihe house of a'Mr. Wilson, who was absent.— Mrs. W. seized a loaded pistol, went down stairs, found tbe window raised, and saw the robbers about to enter. She fired upon tbem and one of tbo gang fell. His companions were heard to Say "we must carry him away or we shall be found out," and blood was found upon the window sill and pavement.-— Tbe American says "Mrs. Wilson regrets that die had not a second pistol to have given them another shot while lifting their companion over tbe low fence."

After completing my observations of these interesting objects, the telescope was turned to the easterrt'limb of tfie moon, armed with its highett magnifier^ which inverta the object, and brings to view only minute portions of her disc. The atmosphere was favorable for observation, and the pleasurable task of observation wai entered on, not with the hope of a discovery overa- tract so frequently travelled before—but the telescope moves slowly and surely along object after object glitters Wore the vision and now a phenomenon, undiscovered before, bursts upon the eye. The appearance ia that of two immense torch lights of daz xling lustre, issuing from a val'ey of considerable depression, with much apparent vehemence. Such was the strength of light, that the prismatic colors could he distinctly defined. The two columns Were situated N. W. and S. G. and distance about 6 miles—were of a conical shape, a half mile in diameter and Li in diameter issuing th angles opposite to each other of about 30 deg. Several witnessed this appearance until late hour, and with myself are of opinion that it is volcanic. And as (hat portion of the'disc will not become visible itntil Oct. 1.1th, at 5h. 40m. P.

Tbe yellow fever still prevailed at Tampico. Several of the crew of the Doric were attacked, and a seaman pimed Butler died on the 1st instant.—lto.

'Boz AND THR FOBOBD LETTER.—A letter which ran the rounds of some credulous or malicious papers here some months ago, purporting to be a description by Boz of American mariners and society, was, at the time, pronounced by Mr. P. Hone, of New York, among others, a forgery. To this effect Mr. H. wrote to Mr. Dickens, from whom he has received a reply dated 30th Sept. from which the following decisive extract is taken: 1 "The letter to which you refer, is, from beginning to end, in every word aod syllable, the .cross of every and the dot of every i, a moat

icked and nefarious forgery. I have never published one word or line in referepce to America in any quarter whatever^ except the copy-right circular."

A QUICK SLICK TRICK.—The Lexington Intelligencer, says: '•One of the slickest tricks we have ever heard of was practised upon a gentleman of this city, in the Northern Bank. He was standing at the counter, conversing with one of the clerks, with his bank-book, from the end of which a check for near two hundred dollars was seen protruded in his band. While thus conversing, a rogue seeing the check, gently slipped it from the book, unpercoived by the owner, presented it at the counter, had it cashed, and left the bank without being detected. Shortly after, the gentleman to whom the check belonged missed it, and requested the teller to stop its payment his sstonishment may be conjectured when told it had al

been po'dv No clue was furnished to the detection of the adroit scoundrel."^

TKBSKBVUTO WHITE* APPLES.—Apples that are to be kept long must be kept cool and dry it is heat and moisture that contribute most to decay. Some cool shed or the cooleat part of the barn is therefore preferable to a cellar at this season. But when colder weather comes a cellar of some kind is necessary. A cellar which has ice in one port of it may be the most convenient place, but the cellar must be cool or the fruit will soon begin to rot.

It is good to have partitions in cellsrs, then one part may he kept cool enough for apples cider may be kept in the same cool place it will ferment less and if properly made it may be. kept long without giving it vent. If we can contrive to keep cider entirety secluded from air will require no foreign ingredients to render It pleasant.—Mass. Ploughman.

iW: THE 8TKAMBOAT ELIZA* We have taken consMerable pains to ascertain the particulars of the loss of the ste mboat Eliaa, but find we have little more thnn rumor to rely upon^ in addition to the notice which we published yesterday morning.

It appears that the Eliza had taken a large freight of flour grain, lead, dec.rnnd a great number of passengers, at St. Louis for New Orleans. She had also on board some cattle, sheep and horses. The number of passengers is vaguely estimated at from one to two hundred. When she had reached a narrow bend of the Mississippi, on Thursday about dinner time, five miles ahovo the mouth of the Ohio, she was met by the J. M. White towing the hull of tho old Madisonian up stream. The White was next the Missouri shore, the hull on her right, and the Eliza coming down stream,, next the Illinois shoro. The White and the hull occupied so much of tho river that the Eliza was forced out of tbe channel and the waves of the White at the same time caused such commotion in the river that the pilot of the Eliza could not distinguish the snags between the channel and the shore. In this position tho Eliza struck heavily a large walnut snag in deep water and instantly began to fill. The confusion among the passengers rushing in every direction on the boat, no doubt increased the dangen. A vain effort was made to steer'the boat for the bar on the Missouri shore but the wheels soon became water-logged and the passengers,having by this time rushed ingfeat numbers up to the hurricane deck, and fearing the boat would swing intoMhe deep current, several plunged towards the

shore. Some reached it, but many were drowned. The whole thing was so sudden, that it is believed the deck passengers below, with the cattle, horses, dec., worn carried down before they could get from under the cibindeck. The captain's wife had rushed up to the hurricaue deck, with two of her children, where she and they might have been safe, hut, in her fright and agitation, she rushed overboard with them, endeavoring to grapple some drift logs. The logs, however, turned in the water every timeshe attempted to grapple them, and finally she snd one of her babes sunk to rise no more. The captain who had been giving directions for the safety of tlie passengers, observing the struggle*of his wife, plunged in to save her, but was only in time to rescue one of the children. He clung to a log aod was saved.— We could not learn whether the J. M. White had it in her power to render much assistance: but understand her yawl was suit out for that purpose. When the Carrier, came up, the Eliza was sunk to her hurricane deck, each etid of which was above water, the waves washing over the middle* The deck was then crowded with passengers, agitated by terrors indescribable. They could give but a confused account of the number drowned. The probability is that it did not exceed forty* The captain of the Carrier thinks the disaster must nave occurred about dinner time, as it was two o'clock in the day. when he reached the bend.

On Sunday night last, about 12 o'clock, one of the City Guard who was stationed in the vieinity of the Medical College in Queen stnetveame tothe Guard House in great haste and much excited, stating to the Sergeant that while paesing the College building, he had heard a groaning in the yard, near the railing and on oxamining Vs to whence it proceeded, had discovered a coffin, and heard a noise which appeared to proceed from some one enclosed thereto. He stated that there was a scratching agdfftst the sides of the coffin, and a groaning, aa if of a human being struggling for relief, and catching for breath. Tbe Sergeant immediately called assistance and promptly repaired to the spot to ascertain the cause of the alarm, and if found necessary to extend relief. On reaching the place, and opening a lantern with which the parties had providw! themselves, along box was discovered, from one end of which something was observed to protrude, which, in the imagination of those present, appeared to be the loot of a negro, and the strng^ing and hard breathing still continued. Hie box was of coarse at once forced, and to the astonishment as well as amusement of thoee engaged in the humane act, alive alligator of some nine feet in length, and appropriate breadth, joyously crawled out of Iris imprisonment, and his liberators made a hasty escape from the scene of action, not liking the companionship of tbe formidable reptile who had availed himself of their benevohmt exertions to obtain bis liberty. We learn that the alligator had heed safely and caiefatly boxed op tbe day before by the jim* tor of the College, for the purpose of being transported to pfoadslphiawCHerfaimi C&ur.

SiifQCLAR CASE.—A fow weeks sinoe very singular case occurred at Manchester, but which, on account of the very troublesome times there, was not publicly recorded. An inquest waa held before Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, on the body of a child under one year old, which had been entered by its parents in no leas than six burial clubs, for which they would receive no lessthan£34,9b. Another child had died about twelve months old, for which nearhr a similar sum had beeft obtained from different burial clubs and, what rendered the matter more striking ana suspicious, was the statement mack at the in* quest, that noless than seven children of the family had died under the age of eighteen months. The parents declared that none of the others had b*en similarly entered but the^ury atated it as their opinion that their ^evidence had been made up for the occasion.— The jury after some deliberation, returned a verdict that the child died for the Want of proper nourishment, but how death was caused they knew not.

A BOY AND BOAT PICKED UP AT SEA.—On Tuesday last, the 13th instant,nbeut2 P.M., Captain M'Fee, of the Queen of tho Isle, descried in the offing a smajl dusky object, which wore the semblance of a floating log. On nearing it, the form ofa human being, sitting erect and motionless, was clearly discovered, and the most intense interest was excited throughout the passengers to ascertain whether animation was partially or entirely suspended. The waters wero waveless, and nut a speck bedimmed the gently heaving expanse. We came close -upon him, yet the poorpertshing creature did not bear or aee the packet, till we hailed him from the prow. As soon as the sound and sight burst upon him, he sprang, to hie oar, and directing his startling eye-balls towards us, called out,

He was immediately conveyed to the forecabin, jv.here, being stripped, ho was laid in blankets, friction was applied to bis feet, and occasional tenspoonsfull of warm beverage were administered.
