Credit. of the united states Abroad.

Il is too much the habit of some papers in
the United States as well as in Europe, to de-
preciate American Character as to the prompt
ness and certainty of payments. The whole
Of this has arisen from the folly and extrava-
gance of two or three State Legislatures, in
getting in debt beyond their means. Even
Mississippi does not repudiate, strictly speak
ing. The Authorities of that State. deny the
Cons,itutionality of the Debt contracted. They
raise question upon the legality of the Loan.
These State sDefalcations, however, have
given rise to much malignant vituperation in
Europe, and not a little very foolish imitation
Of this foreign scolding in the United States
But let us look moment at our reputation
abroad Is there any serious doubt Of Ameri--
can character and credit! None, except by
those who'are too ignorant to know better, or
who have an interest in maligning the United
States.
Within afew days a fact'was stated to US
BY Col ToDD, late Minister to- ussia, which is
very strong illustraiioa Of the highcharacter
Of Americans in some parts Of Europe. 1t is
!. a fact, most honorable ID our country. Our
readers know that the Engineer on, the Great
Russian Railroad from ST. Petersburg to Mos
COW, is Capt. Whistler, Of the Typographical
Corps, and Graduate Of West Point Military
Academy. But this u not all, by any means.
Col. Todd informed us that the grading and
work On the entire line GAO miles,) was given
to American Contractors. This Contract a
smoupts to Four and Half Millions Of Dollars,
and was given to american Contractors, insthe
face Of the competition of all Europe, without
security;
This fact is enough to show how very high
Americans stand in Russia-and Russia con-
trolls half Of Europe.-Ctneinnati Chronicle.

DR.. JAMES ALTERNATIVE.

"E have been informed by Mrs.
W Rose, Of cure performed on her
Aby DR.. Jayne's Alternative, which proves
its superiority over every other remedy
of the kind. She has been afflicted for
the last sixteen years with Necroses or
White Seedlings, attended with ulcera-
tons of various bones, during which
time many pieces have been discharged
from the frontal bone of the Uranium,
from both her arms, wrists and hands,
and from both legs, and from the left
femoral bone, and from the right knee,
besides painful ulcers on other parts of
her person, which has bafiled the skill
of number of the most eminent physi-
clans Of our city-during most of the
time her sufferings have been excru-
eating and deplorable. About three
months since she was induced to try DR..
Jayne's Alternative, which has had an as.
tonishingy happy effect upon her, by re-
moving all pain and swe llings, and caus.
ing the ulcers to heal, while atthe same
time her general health has become COM
pletely restored, so that she now weighs
25 lbs. more than she did before she
commenced the use Of this truly valua

pleasure TO be able to recommend this
medicine as the best calculated for the
purpose of curing coughs, colds, sore
throat, asthma, and all affections of the
lungs. From hong personal acquaint.
ance with DR. Jayne, we know that he is
no quack, and his medicines are not nos

The result oflhe Pennsylvania election
is still The subject of much sPeculaliou.
The Wings look upon it as an evidence Of
a complete and permanent political reyo.-
luton while The democrats regard il as a
temporary and unimportant reverse, which
will mol effect their future ascendancy in
the State. .e.-s=z.,-.s,.. -
The discontentment Of Pennsylvonla
with The new Tariff. is alleged BY the
democrats to be th e cause Of their defeat !;
aud that cause will NOT, in their opinion,
have an influence. after the new system
shall have been tried.
But This view is unsatisfactory, because
The Pcnusylvanians being nearly Tariff
men, could nave elected their Tariff dem.
gerats, as well as Tariff wings. They
chose 10 elect the latter, aud j; is an eyi-
dence that they seek change of men, as
well as Of measures-a change Of party
rulers Resentment al the deception prac-
ticed upon them by their party leaders, in
regard 10 The policy OF MIR. Polk on the ia,
riff, is now supposed, by many, to be the
cause of this revolution; if ihdeed il be a
revoIulioa, Ithas nothing to do with the
actual Influence Eof the new Tariff. The
products of Pennsylvania ace, at this time,
higher in prices Than ever---Par,icularly
her coal and wheat. -,
The Pennsylvania Delegation 10 the 30'h
Congress being whis it may have an in-
huence on the choice OF The mex, Presi.
deut---for many suppose that The next
election will fail before The people; par
ticuiarly. if Mr.. Calhoun should bea can
Gida:e, indepeutly Of The democratic nom,
nation.
Mr.. Secretary Walker has determined
to issue Immediately several millions, in
Treasury noles, bearing five per cent. in
teresr. He can thus, as be supposes, get
along without loan, aud without the aid
oflhe banks. 1t is probable that the sche me
will succeed 10 some extent, and for a
short time-lhat is, till Congress devise
some ssytem of finance adapted TO the ex.
igencies Of prolonged and expensive for
eiSn war.

Wig That after the armistice between
Gems. Taylor and Ampudia had been
signed, and while the American army
were rsposing after the fatigaes OF the bat
tie. they were sudaealy auacked by the
Mexicans; that they termed on their treach.
hernus assailants. and after great loss on
their own part, defeated them. For the

co.--The Mobile Herald of'he 18th inst.
SAYS: The movements Of the Mexican for
ces in and around Mexico indicate deter
miuation on the part Of our Government
10 conquer peace aud bring the war 10 a
close. The Philadelphia Ledger very
properly suggests that in the terms which
will 30 agreed upon when negotiations Tor
peace have fully commenced, there is one
condition iha, our Government should re-
quire Of Mexico, and that is the release OF
all American and Texan prisoners con-
fined in the mines of that country. 1t is
said that there are many respectable citl-
zens Of the Unilcd; STATES now confiued at
hard laberiB The Mexican mines fo- riaing
offences, probably political indiscretIons'
(which have brought down the vengeance
Of the Governmen, apou their heads. All
of fthese should be released before any terms
of peace are concluded, and commissioners
should be appointed 10 examine mloaheir
condition, aud see that they are once more
restored to freedom aud their rights. The

TriaL9f a slaoc jor murder.-On Monday
last. at Magistrates Court, which was held
in this place, Clarissa, negro woman. the
property of Mr.. Philip Brogden, Of this Dis
lrict, was put upon her trial. for the murder of
her three children. This is the same negro
woman of whom we gave notice snort time
since. She was ably defended by Joseph AB
ney, Esq, who generously volunteered his ser
vices in her behalf, as her owner wus poor
man. The proof against her, was altogether
circumstanlia, and her character was that OF
good servant. Several respectable witnesses
believed 10 the unsoundness Of her mind. For
this belief, they gave satisfactory reasons. The
Jury, after short deliberation, brought in a
verdict Of acquittal.
On this occasion, as well as on others, we
were forcbly impressed with the obligation
which rests on the overs of slaves, Of retain.
ingc ompe,ent legal gentlemen their defence
when they are arraisned for serious offences.
By pursuing this course fair trial will always
be obtained, and justice itself, will generally be
meted out to all parties. We suggest also, to
masters Of slaves arraigned forcapilal offences.
TO have them brought to the C. H.. il possible,
for trial. in order that the accused should have
all the assistance which legal gentlemen afford
them. Wemake these remarks, in no unfriend-
ly spirit to the Magstracy throughout The Dis.
trict, but from our desire to see the criminal
law in the cases Of slaves strictly observed.
