LrWe are indebted to Mr. linoriln, of the House, for sundry attentions, for which he will pleaso accept our thanks. Judge Smyscr. The Senate has unanimously confirmed the nomination of our respected fellowreitizem Hon. SmrSER, as Associate Judge fur the dif fe'rent Courts of Adams county. Appointment by the Gavle of Maryland. We I'arn flow the Frederick Examiner that our fellow-citizen, Wm. M . Satit r, Esq. has been appointed, by Gov. Pratt, Commissioner for the acknowledgment of Deeds, &c. -fo! the State of Maryland, in the State of Pennsylvania. !1:7 - The Annual Commencement of the Medi cal University of Baltigtore took place a few days since, with the usual interesting ceremonies. The degree of M. D. was conferred upon a number of young men, graduates of the institution—among whom wy observe thoname of El/ 31 Suonn, son of Dr. of•Littlestown. • 11:7It is scarcely to be expected that the offi cial duties of any public officer, however properly executed,- should fail to meet with disapproval from some source. It were still less reasonable to suppose that the fittest discharge of those du ties by Whig administrations could escape at all times the censure of a fault-tinding disposition when developing itself in the service of Locofoco ism. We are therefore not surprised afthe "Com piler's" attack upon a late action of our worthy County Commissioners, and have'but to remark, in reply, that if any — ikrong has been done in the case alluded to, the Law provides a remedy. The Freshet. In a preceeding c . ol i um will be found an inter esting account of the late freshet on the Susquehan, na. The mailsTrom all quarters bring intelligence of an unusual swelling of streams from the same source; although but comparatively little dam -age has been maintained. It was at first feared that the Public Works had suffered very inat"ri ally, and that navigation on the State Line would be impeded during the opening season. Later sic_ counts, however, have brought more favorable in. telligence. Unless unlooked for disasters have oc curred on the ,more northern branch, it is" thought the breaches will be repaired, and the whole line put in order in a short time. Resolutions have have been adopted in both branches of the Legis lature calling upon the Canal Commissioners for information as to the amountof damage sustained by the Public works. 117 - WO have been informed by a friend from Berlin, in this county, that the freshet on the Big Conowago, in the neighborhood of that place, did a largo amount of damage to fencing, rails, and loose timber. The stream had never been known to be so high as during Saturday and Sunday.— MeSsrs. Kuhn, Bohn, Deardorff, Latshaw, Deining er, and others were the principal sufferers by the loss. Col Kuhn alone lost from 7to 8000 rails. New Hampshire Election. The « Gilralter" of Lacofocoism has fa len al last We have the gratification of announcing to our readers the signal overthrow of Locofocoistri in its own boasted strong-hold. The strong organi- zation, hitherto deemed impregnable, has at last • been broken up and scattered, and even in New Hampshire Pro•slavery Locofocoism lies prostrate. Returns of the late election in that State hate been received, showing the defeat of the Lcicofoco candidates for Governor and Congress, by from • two to three thousand votes, and a return to the H. of Representatives of 115 Whigs and 28 inde pendent Democrats—makfng the "allied forces" in the HOU% 143 to 109 Pro-slavery . radicals. Eight towns remain to be heard from. If these do no better than last year, the House will stand 143 Whigs and Independents,' to 117 Radicals. Last year, parties stood 84 Whigs to 142 Locofocos! This gratifying result is the more important inasmuch as the election of a Governor will de volve upon the Legislature, in consequence of a non-election by the people—the law of theiState .requiring a plurality of all the votes to elect. The vacancies in the Senate from the same cause will be filled by appointments made by the House. A IL S. Senator will also be elected by the new Le gislatute. Capture of Slavers. In another column will be found a melancholy description of the horrors of the Slave-trade,'illus trated in the case of the slaver Pons, recently cap tured on the coast of Africa by one of our Nation ul Vesiels. The officers of the American Navy have been more than usually sticceishil during,the lastfew mouths in detecting and capturing vessels engaged in this most infamous traffic. In addi tion to t the "Pons," wenotice the arrival at Charles- ton of two other captured Slavers --the schooner " Rober t Wilson," , Lieut. Chipman, of:thet Navy, eemmatuting, as a prizVo the U. S. ship James. town, and, the "Paniter," )under the comman d ` of -Midshipman Macomb: of the U. S. sloop York town, towhithyessel it is a prize.

We have devoted several columns of to-day's I paper to the proceedings of the Whig State Con vention, and invite the attention of our read ers to the striking contrast exhibited in its ev i!ry act, when compared with those of the late Convelition- of our opponents. The Convention was large, and embraced an unusually large amount of talent and energy—furnishing cheering indications of a determination upon the part of the Whigs of the State to rally in vigorous support of their principles at the fall election. These prin ciples have been once more boldly thrown before the world irr the Resolutions adopted by the Con vention, and a consideration of their claims to the support of an honest people challenged at the hands of the miserable political deniagogues, who but a few days previously bad shrunk from avow ing their position upon questions of momentous concern to every citizen of the Commonwealth . How long the game of deception upon the Tariff and other grein Pennsylvania questions, hitherto so successfully practised by our opponents, will con tinue to receive the countenance of the voters of this State, remains to be seen. Should the fair and opt n issues tendered by the Representatives of the Whig party, as assembled at Harisburg, last week, fail to be met in a proper spirit by the Lo cofoco leaders, and ,those leaders still secure the suffrages of the "party," it 3vill argue a stuliffin. difference to the public interest utterly unworthy the freemen of a great and powerful State. Although the candidate selected by the ConrCn- tion as the individual around whom the friends of an economical administration of the Public Works arc to rally, was not our first choice, we are pleas ed that the nomination has fallen upon one so well qualified to administer the duties of the of fice to which it is proposed to elect him. There were many reasons why the Whigs of Adams would have been pleased to oast their vote for Mr. KARNS, yet we heSitate not in pledging the undi vided support of the Whigs of the "Young Guard" to his more fortunate and equally worthy compet itor for the nomination, JATIEB M. POWER. Mr. Pow nn is highly spoken of by those who enjoy his acquaintance, as peculiarly adapted, by his capacity and experience, for the responsible post of Cunal Commissioner. The Harrisburg Telegraph remarks : ° "It is with great pleasure, and a high confidence of success at the ensuing elec tion, that we place the .name of the nomi nee of the Democratic_ Whig ConYention at the head of our paper as the candidate of the party. That he is a man of exten- sive and intimate acquaintance with the public works of our own, and of the neigh boring States, is well known and univer sally admitted even by our opponents.— And that he is a man of sound judgment, unquestiOned integrity and sterling worth, no one has or can deny. He is also in the prime and vigor of his life, and coming as lie does, from the west, which has now no representative in the Canal Board, he is just the man for the times and for the people, as the day of trial will prove." . The Harrisburg Intelligencer, before the meet ing of the Convention warm in the support of Mr. Karns, in speaking of Mr. Powan,says: "The nomination, we have reason to be lieve, will receive' a hearty response from the Whigs throughout the 'State. Mr. Power is well known as'.a gentleman of unimpeachable integrity and distinguished abilities. He is admirably qualified, by practical knowledge and experience, for the office of Canal Commissioner, and if elected, as we doubt not he will be, will fill the distinguished post to the entire satisfac tion of the people. Every true-hearted Pennsylvanian—every man who properly understands his own interests—and every voter whu has at heart the interests of the State—should eve him a hearty support. Pennsyl vanta Legislature. In the State Senate on Friday last, Mr. Hoover from the Committee on Roads and Bridges, re- ported the bill from the House authorizing the Street and Road Commissioners of Gettysburg to lay out a certain street in said borough. In the House, on the same day, the bill to incorporate the Odd Fellows' Association of the City and and County of Philadelphia, was taken up for con sideration. The Bill gave rise to an animated dis cussion, being supported by Messrs. Piolett and Steel, and warmly opposed by Messrs. Edie and Magehan. In reply to the remark that "anti-ma•- sonry had but little influence in suppressing lodges in this State," Mr. Edie instanced a number of lodges whose halls had been effectually closed by this influence, and proceeded to comment with some severity upon the speech of Mr. Piolett. Mr. Magehan replied to Mr. Steel in a masterly expose of the dangerous tendencies of secret, oath bound associations. Ho reviewed the Lancaster county case, in which the Odd Fellows' oath was placed above and beyond the reach of laW, and concluded by paying a merited compliment to that slumbering, and only slumbering lion, whose influence Was broken the poWer of secret asso ciations in Pennsylvania—and by draWing a pic ture of the disastrous consequences that would in evitably result .from the fostering of Odd Fellow ism and kindred systems. . The previous' question having been called, the Bill narrowly .escaped defeat—passing by a ma jority of but 6 : yeas 41, nays 38. The Bill granting the right of way to •the.N. Y. and Erie Rail-road, passed final reading in the Sen ate on Saturday, by a vote 0122 . to 7. On Monday, in the House,".lqr. Tr go made an adverse report on sundry petitions from York and Adams counties, praying for a repeal of the School laws of the Commonwealth. Mr. Forsyth also made an adverse report on the petitions from Franklin township, Adams county, praying that a Moderate compensation be allowed School Directors for their services: 07The Methodist Episcopal Conference is -in session at Baltimore,. The body sits with closed doors,' and strict secrecy as to its deliberations is observetl. It is understood, however, that there has been a good lea' of warm , discussion upon the, subject of Slavery, the 'Southern division of the Conference; &c. About.2oo ministers are in 4- ) r endapce lipAn Extra Fessiot of the Legislature ie spo ken of in ~onie quarters: • " • U. S. Senite—Oregon. The discussion on the Oregon question in the U. S. Senate, continues to make that body the the • atre of unusual interest. On Monday the Senate Hall was crowded to excess by a briliant audience anxious to hear Mr. CALtiumr, who had secured the floor for the day. After attending to some pre liminary business, the Senate resumed the consid eration of the Oregon Resolutions, and Mr. Ceil houn took the floor. After ably reviewing the various grounds assumed tly former speakers,' he gave his opinion that it was no.longer a question as to whethel this dispute would lead to peace or war.' It appeared now to be a question of •arias only. So long as the probability of a peaceful termination of negotiations should prevail, the ne cessity lor giving the proposed Notice to England decreased. There 'were but two reasons which presented themselves in favor of giving the notice. One was that it ought to be settled so that it might not be allowed to run into . the next Presidential elec. tion. The other was, he was inclined to think that England did not intend to make her final ninvi;ment until after this Congress shall have rise ' But for these two objections the notice anght to be postponed. He could not vote for, the reso lution of the committee on foreign relations, neith• er could he vote for the House notice resolutions, to both of which he briefly stated his objections. The question of notice or not was subordinate to that of whether the dispute could be honorably settled without a resort to arms. He was'in fa vor of compromise. He did-not pretend, however, that any compromise that could be made would be the best for this country, or that he was going for the very best, but for the very best under all the circumstances. Ile then went into an eloqUent e.cposition of the effects of a war with England. He said that Oregon would be forgotten in the fearful struggle for empire, which would ensue bet?veen the most powerful nation of the world, and our own, which was the most growing nation. If we would con fine ourselves to the 49th degree, not one.of our citizens would a cut off from us, as none have settled north itil% that. All would be protected.— He was opposed to war, rittit on account of Oregon, but for the Union. Suppose at the end of a ten Tars' disastrous War we should iind ourselves in a situation to "dictate peace," what should we have gained by - it ? We should not only have a war with England, but. an Indian war into the bargain. We should have to maintain navies, and several armies, about seven in all, to operate at different points. Mexican soldiers under English officers, well provided and disciplined, would be hard to beat. Iristead of being the aggressors we might be the aggressed. He next expatiated on the enormous expense of a war, and the untold millions that would be required to conduct it. Mi. Calhoun having concluded, the floor was - secured by Mr. Berrien, and the Senate adjourned until the next day. The speech of Mr. Berrien was worthy of that Senator's reputation; concilia tory in its tone, and ithavor of a compromise on the basis of the 49th degree. He was succeeded by Mr. etcher, to the same effect. The impression is becoming more and more decided, thaPthe controversy will be settled with out a resort to arms. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington, on Tues day last, says : • The democratic caucus, held on the Or egon measures, has not resulted in a rec ommendation •of any particular course. A great change of feeling on this subject has occurred, since •Mr.' Hanegan's first caucus was called. It is no longer consid ered as necessary for the vindication of our national honor, l to persist in our ex clusive claim to Oregon and the- whole of it ; and events have occurred that enable the two governments to treat the question as one of interest, not of honor; and in any view of mutual interests, war can nev er be resorted .to: We are now to understand from Mr. Calhoun that our Government is bound to reciprocate the advances made by Sir Robert Peel,' in his -reply to Lord John RiissePS questions, and to enable the Brit , ish Government to meet us upon our own ground, and not upon the proposition which we have already made. Mr. Calhoun does not assert that our government has already taken this step; He said he was not informed as to that, but in the next breath, he said lie had no doubt .that the message of peace had gone, or something to that effect. This is joyful news to a hesitating commercial community; and worth a thousand victories by land or sea: War, as Mr. Calhoun so truthfully says, may make us great; but peace only can Make us great and free! ,Relying upon this 'intimation : from 'Mr. Calhoun, and for the reason that he was in close communion with the President ,o the Wednesday prior to, the sailing of the Cambria, I may well believe that the way has been opened for an adjustment of the Oregon question very speedily. Information called for. On Tuesday the U. S. Senate adopted the reso lutions offered by Mr. Dayton, requesting the Pres dent to state whether, in his opinion, the state of our foreign affairs renders it expedient that our naval and military forces shall be increased.. A resolution calling fur copies of any additional Or- egon correspondence was-also adi:oPted. ' These re solutions were moved with a view of ascertaining the real position of the Administration in refer ence to the Oregon Question, that the Senate may act intelligently upon the different proppsitions before it.

Af ter sonic title debate, the Report waii - Ordercd . tu be printed. 1 mportant ErThe Committee on Ways and Means in the . House of Representatives of this State, have re ported several important Bills adapted, in the view of the CoMmittee, to the financial condition of the Commonwealth. One is entitled, "An Act for the consolidation of certain loans, &c." and con solidates various loans mentioned in it, principally those now due, and makes new loans payable in 1854, '62, and '7O. It also authorizes, ,upon the issue of new certificates for any of the stock loans . of the Commonwealth, that coupons for interest be attached, which, when due, shall be received in payment of State taxes at all times. The other Bill is entitled, kAti,Act to provide for the reduction of the Public Debt," and fixes new objects of taxation. Ships, brig's, schooners, &c., steamboats, stages, hacks, cabs, canal boats, Railroad car &c. are to pay a tax of 3 mills up- on every dollar of their value, and anthracite coal 10 cents per ton. Every person, corporation or firm, is required to answer upon oath the assessor's inquiries as-to his moneys at interest, &c. and if this be declined, the Assessor is to assess the pat ty at the highest amount, and to that .the Com ' ' • missioners add 33 per cent more. Moneys own ed by nny person out of the State, are to be in like manner taxed, and.the debtor or other person having the custody, shall pay the tax, and be al lowed for it; all loans and stocks, guarantied by the Commonwealth, shall pay a half mill for each dollar, on which one per cent is payable, and so on in proportion; one per cent is to be paid on all taxes, professions, &c. taking off the limit of $200; and making all taxable; all dealers in goods, wares, and merchandise, the growth, product, and manufacture of the U. States, and every store and warehouse for selling them, where such persons manufacture them, shall be taxed as the foreign merchandise is taxed, and there shall be in every county appraisers of mercantile taxes. The Bill also contains a provision for the estab ishment of "Commissioners of the Sinking Fund," and appropriates to them the annual amount of the tax on the loans and stocks of this Common wealth, and all moneys, received after Nov. 30, 1846, (the end of the Present fiscal year,) on ac count of taxes' due before January 1, 1845, all moneys due by defaulters before January, 1846, and also, all the Commonwealth's stock in private companies, and it pledges the faith of the State that the moneys given to the Sinking Fund shall remain inviolable, until the whole of the State debt is paid, 'reimburied and redeemed; it directs them to invest their moneys in the . loans of the Commonwealth at or below par. There are many other provisions, but the fore going, (which we gather from the Philadelphia Ledger,) embrace the most important features Mexico; 11:7 - The late Intelligence from the Republic of Mexico, is interesting as developing in some de gree the truth of the rumor in regard the pro posed establishment of a monarchy in that coun try. The Washington Union of Monday says that "news from Vera Cruz to the 23d ult. -has been received at the Department of Suite.
