Tlie Lancaster, (Pa) Democrat, in commenting upon tho Mackenzie letters, pays the following just and deserved compliment to our fellow citizen, Martin Buhen.

But the most exciting feature of the day was tho attack on the elites of the Blackstock factory tho stronghold of opposition.

The siege and its issue aro thus described by the Pittsburgh Journal Here they found the outer gate closed, and every thing prepared for a vigorous resistance. But Ihcy had thus lar been successful, and were not now to be discouraged. They gave three shouts, and forced open the gate but it was quickly closed upon them lrom wilhin. A socond assault was made Willi a similar result. Thev now demanded the instant ex pulsion of the few girls at work.

There was no help, and with sullen resignation the girls employed were escorted to the door and given in charge of their overjoyed companions. Thus ended tho operations of that day.

Sun. No fear of that, neighbor, provided we take things upon trust. Don't you know that the surviving soldiers of the "Revolution," assembled at Bunker Hill upon the laying of the corner stone of that monument several years ago, exceeded the whole number that took part in that battle And don't you know, likewise, that a Senator in Congress recently declared that the number of Revolutionary pensioners exceeded the largest number of soldiers that General Washington ever had on his muster roll?

A writer in the Boston Her says that ro vulsion which took place in the drama there on the decline of tho Trcmont, has been followed by a gradual re action, which augers favorably for this species of amusement." Why bore us with such kind of talk? Melancholy. John Coxe, an intcicsting son of the late Captain Coxe, of Washington, was killed on tho 14th inst. by the accidental discharge of his gun.

With it he can move the largest and most hardened set of Binners that ever assembled. Tho great attraction and charm of the evening was tho Tributo to the memory of Washinffton." From what we could learn of this composition in its bud, we were fearful that, owing to the nature of the sub ject and the difficulty of introducing operatic sentiment into anything pertaining to Yankee doodledum, the fruition would prove a failure.

But we are happy to say that we were mistaken a very unusual subject of self gratulation. The subject is of couisc slightly allegorical in its construction repre 1 scnting tho successful progress of Freedom through tho perils of our first war. This will, of itself, and without refcrenco to its musical merits, tickle tho ears of the groundlings." Ole Bull has attempted somo of the strangest and most startling effects even of his unique and curious modes of instrumentation. For instance, in the battle portion, God Savo the King and Yankee Doodle, both in different time, are mingled simultaneously with tho rush, clangour, din, pomp and circumstance of glorious war and they harmonize producing a thrilling and overpowering effect, and then Yankee Doodle is exclusively heard triumphantly marching away, rn the self evident exultation at having licked the British." The piece em bodies a new Washington's March, which is worthy of the great maestro and a nalional Dirge for tho death of the immortal Patriot. Both are destined to great popularity.

The vocalists on this occasion were Miss Northall and Mr. Duffield, both of whom were complimented with a requisition to repeat their songs. The Pillsficld (Mass.) Eagle states that Dr. Humphrey, lato President of tho Amherst College, has decided to become a resident of Pittsficld, and that he has purchased a bouse in that town, recently creeled by Dr. A.

H. Hildcr. This allusion to Pittsfield reminds us that we have just received a neat pamphlet, of 16 entitled Fourth Annual Circular of the Young Ladies1 In stitute, Pittsfield, Mass. 1845," containing a list of the instructors and pupils connected with the institution, a statement of the course of education established therein, extracts from reports and addresses showing its position in the world of letters, nearly a page of references, and an engraved view of the Institute, with its spacious and tastefully ornamented grounds, intersected by numerous graveled walks' adorned with shrubbery, bowers, and the whole flanked by a lofty and continuous rango of hills. Surely if there is anything in location, the Pittsfield Institute ought to raise up some of the finest wives and mothers in the land.

He is a mulatto; and tho offence charged was committed by him while in company with the ncpro, Charles Fay, who upon being arrested badly cut the hand of Mr. Madden in Fulton street, during the past summer. Among the witnesses for the people were John Van Clcef, Henry Dezendorf, Samuel B. Stewart and officers Combs and Bird.

The alleged larceny consisted in stealing handkerchiefs from Mr. Van Clcef's store, corner of Clark and Fulton street. A. J. SrooNER, Esq.

Mr. Clayton thereupon made a complaint of perjury againt her before Justice Taylor and stated that she swore the witness was sick, but this was disproved on the examination, und Miss Evres who had been arrested was discharged.

Newport Rhode Inlander, Wednesday. The Anti It cut Convicts. Will Van Stcenberg and O'Connor, the Anti Renf convicts, be hung" is a question we hear asked very often.

Most certainly they will if the blood thirstiness which pervades the New York Herald, and one or two of its cotcmporaries making great pretensions to piety, is to be satiated. If, however, the sober judgment and feelings of the people at large aro to prevail, we believe their sentences will be commuted to imprisomcnt for life. We say nothing hero about the settled and growing aversion which oxists among a large portion of our citizens to capital punishment, under any circumstances but content ourselves with the fact that the killing of Steele was not a wilful and premeditated case of murder that tho individuals charged with that crime were no more guilty of it than others who were simply charged with manslaughter; and that the public good docs not require, nor public opinion justify, the wide difference which is made in their pun ishment. says ono, did not these men go to tho ground disguised and armed to prevent a sale and did they not declare that the sale should bo prevented, even though it led to an effusion of Granted but does this argue malice prepense against Steele, as an individual? On tho contrary was it not the great and sole object of these deluded men to prevent a sale and is anybody weak enough to suppose that, apart from it, they, or either of them, contemplated the killing of the bhcritt 11 so, wo dismiss him as incorrigible but if, as we confidently believe, all agree to the proposition that it would have been more accordant with their purposes and wishes to have accomplished their object by threats and disguises, as they had often done before, and that the melee which ensued and resulted in the death of the Sheriff, was the effect of a temporary excitement which was neither anticipated nor guarded against, then we ask them to consider if the case comes properly within tho moral and common sense definition of murder whatever may bo its relation to the statute. We desire not to be misunderstood.

We ask no mercy for the Anti Renters, other than that which a proper feeling of humanity, coupled with a sense of justice and protection to tho community, naturally dictates. We simply maintain that the crime, in this instance, lacks tho malice prepense, and tho calm and deliberate fixedness of purpose, which are necessary to constitute murder. From all which we argue that public opinion the final arbiter in this as in all similar matterswill not approve the infliction of the punishment of death upon Van Stecnberg and O'Connor. So far as the effect upon community is involved, we have not a doubt that it would be be quite as salutary by commuting the sentences of the persons named to perpetual imprisdtfcient as by hanging them. Nay: we think it would prove infinitely moie salutary.

Tho misguided Anti Renteis would be more favorably disposed towards the laws, and the community would bo spared tho disgraceful and demoralizing scenes which invariably attend a hang' ing match. The latter, we protest, are neither few nor small. By these remarks we would not be deemed to censure, or reflect in any way, upon the conduct of judge, prosecutor, or jurors. They doubtless performed their duty conscientiously, and aro entitled, therefore, to the respect of their fellows but we do insist that, the verdict having been rendered, it is expedient to commute it, as stated. We hope that Governor Wright, if appealed to, will grant a favorable response.

It would bo unjust, perhopi, to characterize it as swindling and yet, if taking advantage of one's ignorance to deprivobim of an hundred or a thousand dollars, to which, as the producer or honest holder of certain goods, he is justly entitled, be a morally culpable act, the difference held to exist between it and swindling is more nice than wise. The common is theoretically founded upon the moral law yet in practice a world wide distinction exists between the transgressors of them. We hope the time is coming when facilities" will not be so readily extended to these operators" by paper mills us they arc just now.

Visiter of Public Schools. We are informed that the Superintendent of Common Schools of this State has appointed Dr. J. Sullivan Thome, of this city, Visiter for the Public Schools in the County.

An American Lady's Opinion of her Country. A lady of Baltimore, now in Paris, is writing her views of things for the Norfolk Herald.

In one of her letters she says I have seen no Sabbath since I left home. Here there is none. I went last Sunday lo Notre Dame and five other celebrated churches, lo Mass and lo Vespers, and heard nothing but music. Saw no appearance of Sunday in the streets. Shopping, building, and every thing going on the same as any other day What a way to live I would not exchange America for all the jewels I have seen in this splendid city, and they are not few, 1 have seen several diadems containing diamonds as large as a half dime down to the size of a pin's head, from one to two hundred in each, with necklace lacings, broach and bracelets also pearls of great beauty, of all sizes arrayed in every style of royalty except the crown itself.

Yet fur all these I would not give up my American citizenship. There are no domestic enjoymonts. Every class lives in the street, or in a constant routine of gaiety, fashion and excitement.

How could I live so? Give me America Hayti. The following is an extract of a letter received in VVashiuglon, from Capo iiaytien, dated Sept. 24 The authorities of the Haylicn part of this island aro increasing the numbers of their vessels of war. It may, therolore, be interesting to you to be in possession of the present state of the Haylien Navy, as near as can ba ascertained. I therefore transmit the following list, A barque La Rapide of about 250 tons, formerly a slaver, carrying 14 18 lb.

carronades. A topsail schooner Diea Protege 123 tons American built, carrying 6 long pounders. 'A top sail schooner, just purchased, of 148 tons, American built, has not received her armament. A fore and aft schooner La Mouche about 70 tons, Huytien built, carrying 3 guns. 'A fore and alt schooner La Gucrricre about 70 tons, Haytien built, carrying 3 guns.

A fore and aft schooner La Surprise about 65 tons, a prize from the Dominicans, carrying 3 guns. A fore and aft schooner, about 60 tons, Haytien built, carrying 2 guns. This latter schooner is at or near Port au Prince. The Mouche and tho Guerriero sailed a few days since for Jaemel, and the others are under repairs of spars and rigging at this port. The Haytiens have vessels sufficient for four times the number of sailors they can command and thoso now in service are unskilful seamen, and not accustomed lo naval discipline Frrjfn defective knowledge of nava! usage in the commanders of these vessels, some fears may be entertained that, inflated by pride at sudden elevation to the command of armed vessels, they may annoy foreign commerce in these seas, by firing at merchant vessels, or arresting them in their course, as was the case with two Spanish vessels some three years since.

The whole fleet has been at sea once, captured the Dominican, schooner, now tho Surprise, and returned to port in about six days. Tho President, Pierrot, who makes this city his capital, has announced his determination to mako his grand descent on the Spanish part, with all his available and land und naval forces, in about two months from this time." Union. Passengers on the Hudson River Evidence given before tho Senate Committee to invesligato the cause of the disaster lo the ill fated Swallow, proved that the number of passengers on the Hudson in tho season of 1844 was 1,000,000. This vcar. on account of the very low rates of fare, that aggregate will bo increased to 1,200,000.

As there aro only 9 months of navigation that will divide 120,000 passengers every month of tho navigating season. This evinces tho magnitude of Ihe traffic to bo divided among steamboats. We doubt whether the Ohio or tho Mississippi will show a greater number of passongers. Alb. Argus, Thursday.

In every situation of life in which ho has been placed, in every emergency in which he has been called upon to act, his honor and courtesy have been as conspicuous as his unshrinking devotion to the pure principles and tha vital interests of the Demo cratic party, ana nave occn aciuiuwicugcu iuju appreciated by millions of his admiring contrymcn.

We care not in What position'he has been placed by the suffrages of his fellow citizens whether as Slate Senator Governor member of Congress Cabinet Minister Vice President or Chief Magistrate of tho Union lie has ever been the same honorable, high minded gentleman the same honest, straight forward, consistent, out spoken Democrat and ever the strict conslructionist of the constitution, and the uncompromising opponent of bloated corporations and oppressive monopolies. Mr. Van Buren has been stigmatized by his opponents as a time serving politician, and yet we would ask, in the face of this base and groundless charge, what man is there in the country who has made greater sacrifices for principle or from a sense of duty If fourteen years ago he had condescended to conciliate an infamous cabal, his rejection as ambassador to England would never have taken place. If he had hearkened to the voice of the moneyed power in this country in 1S40, lie woutd have been re elected President beyond all pcradventure. And if, in 1844, he had not so boldly and unhesitatingly proclaimed his opinion on a great question of national expediency, there would have been no opposition to his nomination at the Baltimore Convention.

The name of Van Buieu isas dear as ever to the Republican party and now that he has been so wantonly and wickedly assailed, a recollection of his services and sacrifices will cause thousands to stand forth enthusiastically, in his defense. Young We have in vain endea Totred to ascertain the meaning of the word 'young' in its connection with the democracy, where it is up roarously used by a class of men in this country at tho present time. If it means any thing different from old democracy the good old democracy of Jefferson and Jackson then we should be glad to know it, that we may understand our posilion in relation to those who cherish it. But if it means nothing dif. fcrent from this if there is nothing in it but tho mere clap trap of name, then is it utterly worthless to a frank, straightforward man or party.

We are not aware that the good of the country demands a change in the principles of tho democratic party, on which it has acted since the formation of tho constitution, and by which the country has been raised to its present exalted position among the nations of the earth. These principles lay at the foundation of our constitution, and cannot be changed but by a radical change of our wholo political organization they are always fresh young applicable for every Tanety of circumstances in which it is possible for us to be placed. So long as they are remembered by the people the money power (the only power on which federalism relies) will be kept subordinate to the power of mind the rich man and poor man will stand on the same broad platform of equal rights class le gislation will be a thing unknown each State will regulate its constitutional domestic institutions with out insult or injury trom other states, ana our country will flourish and expand its borders as in lime past it has done. No: we see no definile meaning in this outcry about young All this country needs is the old kind faithfully administered. Norwich Aurora.

The Mint. The United States have three mints for the coinaee of money. One at Philadelphia, one in North Carolina, and the other at New Orleans, and although the two latter are called mints, yet they may be more justly considered as Branches of the Parent institution at rhilauclphia, established in that city almost immediately after tho government was established. The coining of money is not gen erally understood, and the Philadelphia Chronicle has been at some pains to collect some account of the process. Bullion is brought to the mint in every form, amalgamations from tho ore, bars, plate, jewelry, and foreign coins.

All these present a great variety as to quality. The Assaycr brings this het rogcucous mass into a proper condition and fineness lor coming, ana returns me mciui in ingois, urmuan bars. The bars oringote, arethen annealed, losoftcn them for rolling when they aro passed through the rolling machine, worked by a steam engine, and come out in long thin strips of tho width and thickness most convenient for use. In order to reduce these strips of metal to their proper "size for tho press, they aro drawn through nicely graduated drawing dies." In th next place they are passed through the cutting press, which is also moved by steam, and the truo sizes arc cut out. The punch moves so that one hundred and sixty pieces, on an average, arc cut out in a minute.

The pieces thus prepared are next put into the milling machine, in which tho edge, to aflbid protection to the surface of the coin, is forced up. In this machine, one hundred and twenty half dollars, or five hundred and sixty hair dimes, can be milled in a lniuule. Tho pieces of metal thus pre pared aro then tested, as to their weight, and, if found correct, are again softened for the dies, i'hc stamping machine is moved also by steam power. Tho pieces are put into an inclined lube at one side of the machine, from which they reach the coining dies in rogular order, receive the impression, and fall into a box below upon tho opposite side a perfect coin, ready for circulation. The coining presses are of various sizes, to suit the denominations of coin.

The usual speed of striking is sixty pieces per minute for the half dollar, seventy five for the quarter, and ninety for the dime. The Mint, with a few additional hands, is competent to coin ten millions, iialf gold arid half silver annually." Dying Words." Head of the army," were the words last uttered by the lips of Napoleon.

Unquiet and unhappy with all his fame, was the life of the poet.
