FAMILY lars.

The friends of Clay and Harrison appear
to be coming TO violent qaarrel in enn-
sylvania. The United States Gazette, a
paper in the interest Of the Kentvcky'candi-
date, has forsaken the manufacture of small
puns and paragraphs about pink eyed pota-
toes and early strawberries, and the like,
and is enacting the part of Mr.. Forcible
Feeble against the Antimasons, who have
nominated set of electors of their own,
in view Of securing the vote ofthe State TO
Harrison. The United States Gazette is
desperately severe upon this measure, call
ing the Antimasons "a disreputable party"
accusing them of "gorging at the public
crib" and we know not what other enor-
mites. Nay, 1t actually goes SO far as to
threaten them with seeing what they shall
see and taking the chance of what may
happen, in the following significant para
graph:
1--WE exceedingly regiet that there is a
disposition TO force general Harrison upon
the Wing party. The times require unity
and energy on the part of all the opponents
Of the present party in power. That the
Wings when the time shall come, will Sc
lect Henry Clay as their candidate, Is be-
yond all question. If :hen the Antimasonic
party persist in carrying out their nomina-
ton, the consequences of their rash con-
duct will rest upon their own heads"
No doubt the Wings will select
Henry Clay as their next candidate, if the
question be left to the decision Of the Ma
tional Convention. That veteran political
gamester holds the issues of such conyen-
ton in his hands. Not only is he himself
skilful in those political insrigues in which
he is grown gray, but that portion OF the
Wing party who are devoted to his inter-
ests are altogether the most deep plotters
and dextrous political managers in the coun-
try. Witness the easy, cool, irresistible
manner in which they have shouldered MIR.
Webster from the political stage.

PENNSYLVANIA AND HER RESOURCES.

PENNSYLVANIA AND HER RESOURCES.
No state in the Union has two such
splendid cities as Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, within its boundaries. The one lies
on the seaboard, the other shaking hands
with the prolific West With two such
gates of egress, Pennsylvania can never fail
to look round on her sister states with an
air of confidence, bespeaking abiding pros
perty. In year or two we shal lhave rail
road to bring all our imporiations TO the city
from the capes in mld-winter, and the un-
diving fires Of the coal of Pitsburg, will ev-
er keep in active motion her manufacturers.
The state of New York will shortly join
her works of improvement with ours in the
Susquehanna country, when manufacturing
will start in that section OF the state. All
the lands there, whether hills or dale, will
be shortly explored, and their value made
manifest to the world. The north, as yet,
is in great measure sealed up region
but the investigating steps Of the Geologist,
with the lamp of science in his hand, is
tracking out the hidden secrets of that un-
explored part Of Pennsylvania. We visited
Reading in 1918 or IA, to see Mr.. Snow
denis CRATE, in which he was then testing
the coal Of that neighborhood. His CRATE
was the only one in the town. AT that day
we could have bought all the mountain coal
land there for the merest trlfle. Since that
period we have learned TO have some re-
spect for mountsins-and not with sneer
turn up our noses at every hill we see. On
the contrary, if in the vicinity of coal re-
| gion, it is not unfair to suppose that it con-
tains large quantity Of mineral wealth.
Within the last two years, lead and zinc
have both been found in the north part OF
Pennsylvania, and all believe that copper
has been found on the Mahoopany creek,
and that vicinity, in Luzerne county
Some where in the North, some great
manufacturing town will be started: Our
iron and coal, resting side by side, will be
taken up and manufactured, for New York
and along her canals into the lake country.
| The Ohio is not much more certain in her
floods than the Susquehanna, which it has
been found expedient TO canal, so as 10 leave
its waters ever ready TO watt our produce
to market. John Randolph said of one ol
| the western rivers--it was frozen all winter
and dry all summer. With our canals and
roads all ready, the whole coal and iron re-
| gion of the north, will assume a new ap'
pearance. Piitshurg has been made by hel
| bilunlnous coal and her river navigation
Northern Pennsylvania with its good ca
nails and excellent iron ore, cannot fail &c
take the hint, and open her coal fires. ant
| push ahead her manufactures.-.4m.S Sen.

IMPORTANT TREATY WITH MEXICO.

N.hN OANA nav ANA--A1 w IL II NIELAlOO.
We are informed, says the New York
Courier & Enquirer, through a channel IN
which we conide, that Mr.. Ellis carried
out with him, on board the frigate Consli-
tuition, which sailed few days since.
a treaty negotiated at Washington, and
signed in the early part of April, by
Mr.. Martinez, on the part Of the Mex
Ican, and Mr.. Forsyth, on the part of the
American Government, BY the provisions
of this treaty, we understand, that within
three months after the ratification of it by
the high contracting parties. two Commits
sloners are TO be appointed by each power,
which four Commissioners shall form a
board, to hold their sittings at Washington.
to whom shall be submitted all private
claims; that within eighteen months after
their first meeting, they shall examine and
decide all cases submitted TO their conside-
ration. That Immediately after the result
OF their labor shall have been communiea-
ted TO lheMexicanG Government shall issue
its bonds, bearing an interest of eight per
cent TO the respective claimants for the a.
mount OF the award in their favor. That
these bonds shall be receivable in payment
oil duties at the several Custom Houses of
the republic of Mexico, but that when large
sums are presented at one time, or at one
place, the Government may refuse to re-
celve more than one half such amount.
We are further informed, that all those
grievances of public nature, which have
heretofore threatened to interrupt the peace
OF the two countries, including the difiicul.
ties respecting Texas are substantially ar
ranged in satisfactory manner.

Harbor of Sindpore, Feb. 5th, 1899.
The plot for the attack of the ship e.
clipse, Captain Wilkins, was originated at
Muk Kee, some 40 miles from Quallah
Cauco; and part of the persons who com
milted this murder and robbery, have been
protected by Rajshs Of Muk Kee, and a
great proportion of the property and money
taken to that place. This, therefore, was
deemed the principal offending place. We
learn that the 1000 was divided out, and
some of it was received at QuIlah Bauoo,
and also at SoO-Soo, place three or four
miles from Qualah Baitoo, and at both OF
these, according to the acknowledgements
OF the Rajahs in the conversation held
with them, some OF the pirates were
residing on our arrival ON the coast. The
demand for these men having been made,
and compliance being declared to be impos-
sible, as the men had escaped after our an
chorage, (Which however, was deemed to
be only an excuse to render their refusal to
comply with the demand an appearance ol
misfortune to them, rather than decision
of the eounsels,) cur ships were run in
nearer to the shore at Quallah- Battoo, and
the place cannonaded with some damage 10
the town, or rather to the forts, as they
weie the objects at which the shots were
directed.
The ships were then got underway, and
stood for Muk Kee, where the demand for
tbs pirates was made, without the expecta. i.
ton of The Rajahs Of that place pursuing
any course different from the one adopted
by the Rajahs Of Quallah Baltoo. The de-
mand was uncomplied with, and the conse-
fuences. as the proper alternative, $50

TEXAS.
uany OF our readers VIII doubtless recol-
lect the account of duel, published in near.
y all the city papers, about twelve or eight
cen months since, fought in the neighbor-
hood of Houston, in which Mr.. Chauncey
Goodrich and Mr.. Lawrence were princi-
pals. The latter had been assistant
editor Of the New York Star, and was of
highly respectable connections; at the first
fire, if we recolect Alright, he was killed.
The grounds for quarrel originated in
Goodrich's having had purloined from his
pocket book, "a bank note ofone thousand dol
lars; this occurred in an apartment of
boarding house, in Houston, in which slept
five or six young men including Lawrence.
On G.'s making known his loss, he was
requested 10 name the person whom he sus-
pecled-and after some hesitancy, he de-
sgnated L. A challenge was consequent.
Z. M. Stanley, son of an ex-governor of
Carolina, and one those who occupied the
room common 10 the number already men
toned, acted as a second to Lawrence.
Stanley, according to the Galveston Ga
zetIe, remained at Houston after the death
of Lawrence; was taken i'll; represented
himself in Strengthened circumstances; occa-
sionally borrowed money TO defray his ex-
penses! Notwithstanding his apparent
poverty, in a short time after he called on
Mr. boswell about to leave Houston for
this city, and gave him thousand dollar
bank bill to purchase goods for him. Dos
well, on his return having his suspicious ex-
cited, waited on Maj. Holman, who having
seen the note in the hands Of Goodrich,
and from the description given by p. he,
Holman, believed that sent by Stanley to be
the same. DR.. Smith, who had rendered
Stanley assistance, and knew his circum-
stances, also cOincided in opinion as to his
guilt.
Stanley, it appears, is at present in pri-
! son-not, however, for his supposed crime
but on positive charge of stealing $500
from man in Houston, and TO whom he
afterwards returned the money; consequent
ly, the prosecution, if followed up, will be
less zealously conducted. Every good
man will leelregret if such a rufIian escapes
unwhipt of juslce;" as, from all the cir
cumstances, il is evident he has been the
primary means Of sending two highly de-
serving young men out of life. Goodrich,
It is stated, stung with remorse for the
death of Lawrence, became, at times, par
tally insane, and would start from his sum-
bers at night, scream out and rave incessant-
y OF the circumstances connected with the
duel. He afterwards wandered TO San An
tonic, resor!ed TO liquor, quarIelIed with a
gambler, who secrelely entered his cham
Der, shot him, and then, fend-like, plunged
Bowie knife through him, SO as to pin
him to the mallrass
