All the M0rality.-What is This?

The National IntelHgencer Of Friday
morning, copies q paragraph from the
Baltimore American, giving an account Of
late robbery Of gold watches in Philadel-
phia, which, among other things, says:
''That one otthe stolen watches had been
seen in the possession Of Edmond Gold
smith, newly appointed custom house
officer in that city. Mr.. Goldsmith was
accordingly arrested, and the watch -four d
in his possession, when he was detained in
custody for further examination
Itis supposing that this whig office hold
er should fall to stealing so soon after his
appointment. 1t is matter which the Or
gan should look after, and put among the
defalcations. We have heard of sundry
other rogues who had been appointed to
Office by Collector Maxwell, whom he was
obliged subsequently to remove. But as
the first article in the creed of whiggery
is to plunder the government, we shall we
have no doubt, have beautiful array of
pee ulations to hold up to public admiration
after the present administration has passed
from the stage Wash. Union.

Getting into a SCrape.

The federal papers, in their base attempts
to bolster up the conduct of Zachary Wash
i1gton in the violation of his solemn pledg-
s, By eLdeavlr hh.aeken the character.
of all those officers who fall under the ban
Of the new administration, are likely to get
themselves into disagreeable scrape. Gen.
Tavler himself commenced the work of
SANDER and detraction, by declaring that
no man should be removed on account Of
his political principles, thus seeking to have
it inferred that all those removed were dis
honest. Finding himself unable to sue
eeed in covering up bis iniquity in this way:
the administration organ was set to hunt
down the character ef removed officers, by
charging them with being @defaulters" to
the Government, and with defrauding the
Treasury. These charges are caught VI
by the whig press all over the country and
become the fruitful theme of comment. Tht
att ack was first made upon Patrick Collins
who had been removed from the office o.
Surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, and tho
the charge was Immediately denied, these
federal libellers still kept sounding it through
the land, thinking, no doubt, they were do
ing their masters good service; but the pool
dolts little dreamed that they were getting
themselves into an uncomfortable fix. The
following from the Cincinnati Commercial.
(whig) shows that Mr.. Collins is not de-
faulter, and that he is taking the proper
course to bring these public slanderers ard
hbelers to justice:
ave heard Yesterday from high authori-
ity that Patrick Collins, ESQ.,, lac Surveyor
at this port, BY full and fair examination
into his affairs, has proven himself no de-
faulter, and not entitled to shade of sus-
picion in the premises. Mr.. ]. Mclaughlin
informed us that he had counted MIR. Col
lids deposites in the safe at the PostoAice,
and there found $63, ,458; in the CONNER
cial Bank Mr.. c. has the balance deposited
that is due the government on settlement
We are glad to record this, and sincerely
sympathise with Mr.. C. in bis sickness, and
il this unfortunate charge. Suits agains
papers publishing him as a defaulter art
commenced or in contemplation at this time
Mr.. Collins health is very poor.

Another Failure.-At the Free Soil con-
vention of Cuyahoga county, Mr.. Leverett
Johnson, who was enough of a whig to re-
ceive the nomination as the whig candidate
for Representative, attempted to commit the
Free Soil party of that county to the sup
port of the whig pportionment scheme, and
thus procure an endorsement of the course
of certain bogus Free Sellers, like himself
and Mcclure, in the last Legislature; but
the convention chose to dodge the question,
and thus refused TO endorse Mr.. Johnson's
course.

GEN. TAYLoR.-THE WILMor PRovIso.
During his whole visit to Pennsylvania.
Gen. Taylor has net said one word OH the
subject OF Slavery. He has talked obout
big horses, big wagons, good roads and
even the tariff; but never once alluded TO
the highly important subject Of human
slavery. The federal papers of this city,
previous to The Presidential election, as
serted vehemently that Gen. Taylor not
only was in favor Of the Wilmot Proviso,
but was also opposed to Slavery in all its
forms. Now that the General is President,
neither he Eer the wings care a fig for
slavery; and forget all their pledges and
promises before the election. Gen. Taylor
is known to be an extensive slave owner
he buys and sells human flesh as readily Us
he would buy OR sci. horse or COW; and
the wings know it. 10 say, therefore, thai
old lack is in favor of the Wilmot Pro-
viso, or any other measure calculated to
prevent the spread Of slavery, Is supremely
ridiculous. However, he will have to show
his hand before many months shall have
gone by. There is no way for him to es.

Important from Nicaragua-DeStruc-
fi0n of the City and its Inhabitants.

The New York Herald has received let
ters from the city of Nicaragua, dated July
8, which state that Somosa, Mt the head of
four thousand men, had assaulted the city
of Nicaragua, destroyed it by fire, and
sacrificed the lives of its inhabitants. So
mosa did not obtain much wealth by this
assault; small amount only of gold, sill
yer, and jewelry fell into their hands; but
the tota! amount Of property destroyed ex.
ceeded two millions. This, howeyer, would
seem almost incredible. .
The letter proceeds to say, that Monus
had gathered force of seven hundred and
fifty regulars, with whom he was advan-
cling to meet Somosa, and it was expected
that q battle between them would take
place on that day-lhe Sth ult.
From another source the Herald learns
that England refused to continue her sub
sidy to the Mosquito King; and that the
English Consul, Mr.. Chrsty, left San Ju-
an, or what is now called Grey Town, on
the 18th Of June, in British brig of war.

E The conventions Of the two section

~ The conventions of the two sections
of the New York Democracy recently held
at Rome, resulted as was anticipated, with
ont efecting union. But there is yet
ground for the hope that that result will be
effected. The Syracuse Rereilze says:
"The people are entirely sick of the old
party hacks, and intend taking the matter
into their own hands. If so, there will be a
sfshaking among the dry dones." Already
a call is in circulation in this city for this
purpose; and we hear it is being signed
generally by members of both sections of
the party,"
