MONDAY M0KNfNG, july 5, 1850.

G5 The Uniontown, (Pa.) Democrat, represents
the President to have been coolly received, in his
passage through that part of the country When
he passed through that place before,- he was trium-
phantly received, escorted by IN immense train of CT
tizens, surrounded by crowds which rendered acceas
to him almost impossible, the doors and windows
thronged with spectators. On Wednesday, lit says)
though notice was had of bis approach in the morn
ing, not a soul went out to meet him, very few call
ed upon him, and mcpherson (he wanted all office noe
guess) escorted him out of town. A melancholy
change indeed. The Democrat is offended at the
great style in which his Excellency trayels-two car
riages and four.
II pennsylvania grows ~lukewarm, the jig is up, and
Jacksonism approaching it's finale. OF the whole DO
pulatlon ofthe U. States, The rewarded are the only
class. which has not been more or less disappointed
at the course OF events, since March 1929.
u Gen. Mercer in a note to the Editors of the In
teiligencer, pronounces the report of the debate be-
tween himself and Secretary Ingham, in the Tele-
graph, a'gross misrepresentation" "a grosser sup
preston Of facts, (he says) as regards the circum-
stances and language'of the attack made upon me by
my adversary, or u more deceptive caricature Of the
remarks with which that attack was repelIed, could
scarcely have been Imagined" lie requests the Ed
itors who circulated the debate, to circulate'his con
tradlction-a very reasonable request.
Il The President has ~pardoned Geo. Wilson, one
of the mail robbers lately convicted in Pennsylvania,
as 1t would seem to the great disgust of the commu-
nifty generally. His associate, James Porter, was to
have been executed on Friday. Wilson was a ma
tive, Porter 4 foreigner. There was said to be no
difference in The degree of their respective guilt
That justice seems harsh, which pardons one man
and hangs another, for the same JOINT offence.
u Bank Robbery.-John Fuller, Cd Teller of the
U. s. Bank at Boston, a~bsconded on the goth June,
with $4,000 IN cash. He was supposed to have fled
to ~. York, with the view of leaving the country
in one ofthe packets, and the express with the intel
lgence travelled from Boston 20 N. York, in 10
hours. A reward of S $500, is offered for the reco-
very of the money and apprehension Of Fuller. He
had not been traced at the last accounts. The Pat
riot says Fuller thus accomplished the robbery:
"On Monday evening, he settled his accounts and
handed over to the Cashier his trunk, locked, and sup
posed TO contain his balance of cash, which trnnk was
placed in the vault for safe keeping. On Tuesday
morning, he not appearing at the bank at the usual
hour, a message was sent 10 his home, to which it
was repl1eu InaC ne was SICK. Ills trunK was then
opened to verify his account, when the sum above
stated was found to be missing. Farther inquiry was
then made, and it was soon ascertalned that he had
absconded. We have not heard that he has been seen
since Monday evening at 9 o'clock. Every measure
has been taken by the Branch Bank Directors by ex-
presses and otherwise, to spread the news of this bold
and extensive villainy.
Fuller is Of respectable connexions--and has a wife
and interesting family Of children in this CITY. He
was considered a correct and accomplished clerk by
those who had employed him. Much excitement was
produced by the circumstances above detailed, when
made known.
u The ~. \. Courier and Enquirer Of July l.,
contains a vindictivo attack upon Mr. Tazewell, the
materials OF which, have evidently been furnished
by Authority" as it contains extracts from a private
letter written to the President by Mr.. TazewelI, and
from a letter in reply thereto, by Dir Branch to Mr..
Tazewell 1t would thus seem that Lieut.. Webb is
encouraged in his magnificent attempt 10 ran sir.
Tozewell down, from Washington. More Of this
