(Pfaff' the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette.) The Whig Speaker—Jas. Cooper. MR. EDITOR :—A number of names I have been suggested by both city and country newspapers, in connection with the Whig Speakership atarrisborg.— They are all'the names of able men and trustworthy Whigs, any one of whom i t would do credit to the station and to, the party. It is a post of high distinction and responsibility. Permit me to add to the list of St persons one, whose position is o peculiar, and whose claims on the confi dence of the Whig party will not he light ly disregarded. I refer to JAMES COOPER, of Adams, a man whom the city and coun try have equal reason to respect for his talents and public services. Mr: Cooper was, as is well known, a /eaflingrnember of the 27th Congress, the Congress of '42 —the TARIFF CONGRESS—the Congress , which fought the great battle of the Whig party in its time of severest trial. More than this, when treachery and disappoint- . ! man had shattered the Whigs and when fragments of the proud array were sirng gling about, without leaders, over a bald of disaster, James Cooper was one of those who not only, did not despair, but who knew that then more than ever, was , the time for encouraging example. From Congress, when he voluntarily retired, he went into the Legislature, and there, for the last two years, led the gallant Whig mi: nority, himself always gallant and cheer ful, and never for a moment desponding as to a result. Let any one whom business or inclination took to Harrisburg during the sessions of 1844 and 1845, when the Whigs were a mere handful, he asked the question, who was the leading man,'the one whom enemies respected and friends cenfided in, Whose aid was most.valuable, whose elo quence was most admired, who as a party man was always true and as a public man always patriotic, and he will answer it was James Cooper. In 1844, when the ques tion of restoring the public credit was pre-1 riented, Mr. Cooper, a representative of an Anti-Improvement copnty, did not hesitate to be the open champion of any measure necessary to its restoration. On the Com mittee of Ways and Means, he and our fel low-Cidien, Geo. W. 'Poland, were main ly instrumental in perfecting all that was done. They were most active in reselling Pennsylvania from desperate repudiation. Surely the Whigs of Pennsylvania owe James Cooper some return for this. A gain in 1845, when it was determined to tax the State stock, before in point of fact the interest-was permanently secured, and, wheh the principal of money loans was unpriividetifor and overdue, James Cooper and Charles B. Trego, (see vol. 11, Jour nal, 1842, p. 503) as a minority of the Committee of Finance, recorded an earn est protest against the measure. A less resolute man might have paused—a less right minded one would here have doubt -0,;14. %Nit usqe,pf.iftis.n lett no room for hesitation, and Mr: Coop er 'was here us ever boldly on the right side.' It is surely some foundation for a claim on the gratitude of Philadelphia and her representatives, that Mr. Cooper was thus on two trying sessions ; on questions of principle, the friend, the fellow-laborer of two of her purest public men. One of • whom I need not say. (M r . Toland,) like Mr. Cooper though it is his duty and an honor too, after fighting for the Whi g cause in Congress, to fight for it as faithfully in the State Legislature. Now that the. Whigs hare at last tri umphed and control the Councils of the State is the titna to remember these things. The last Whig Speaker (1841) was a Philadelphia Representative. The next should be a country Whig, and none should more cordially say so, than the the Philadelphia Whigs. There is a duty of gratitude in politics as in, other relations of social life. When the battle is fought and the victory won, it. is not the tardy volunteer- who comes to camp just as the enemy's flag is hauled down. who ought to he promoted. Still iess the lazy citizen who stays -at home.— And.the man who deserves promotion is the regular who had served a long term of service, who rather than not fight at all, .will fight and has fought in the molts, who -was with his fellow soldiers in disaster and retreat, when taint hearts sank and many brave ones trembled, the faithful soldier through whose lips no whisper of despon dency ever passed..

Misrepresentation and cunning may do for a while but it must ultimately be exposed. The friends of Gen. Irvin must have a bad opinion of country w higs or they Would never resort to such foolish shills as they have been resorting to. For instance they have deter mined to elect the Irvin delegates in the Irvin counties as early as possible, either for the purpose of influencing the other counties, or because they think they may lose some by proerastination. If the hider is the reason for the early campaign, somethiinr may be accomplished, but if in fluence is their object, they know little about whiggery. Whigs think and act for themselves, and when convinced they will not change their course because the tide goes different.

J We make the annexed brief extract from an article in the New York Globe, giving instruc tions to the Locotoco editors throughout the U nion as to the position they are to assume - in re gard to :he r British Tariff of 1S bd. The Glshe thinks that the 11CW Tariff' is not quite rase- Trt.tos enough in its features, but thinks it best that Locolocoism should rally to its support un til the party shall have become strong enough to make it "still more democratic." As the whole article has been copied and endorsed by our neigh. her of the "Compiler," we copy it for the benefit of our reilers, a; W:2:1 as for the "Tariff Demo crats," who, a few days previous to the late elec tion, were promised by this same organ, that if they remained faithful in their party allegiance, the new Tariff would be so modified as to protect Peun.-ylvapia interestsl It will not be long be foie these same editors will 'deny that they ever favored the British Taridof 18It3 : "The Democratic party must rally in a favor of the Tariff of '46, its ad valorem features, and oppose a restoration of that of '42, with its minimum system of du ' ties, or rather maximum system of plun der. No fear of the present national ad , ministration ; it will sink or . swim with the Tar& of '42." Our own peculiar notions respecting a correct principle of taxation would lead us to wipe out the the whole system of tariff taxation, but such is not the popular doctrine of our party at this era of our national existance. What are we to do then ? In demand ing too much we are in danger of loosing , all. If Federalism succeeds in 1818, a , restoration of the tariff of '42 will be sure to follow. If Democracy succeeds, the tarif of '46, with such modifications as , the exigencies of the Treasury may de mand, will be sustained. It is to the De , mocratic party that we look for the final accomplishment of a just system of tax ation." The War & its °Weis. Whiltt the paiusit C. 5. of the present Adininittra tion in charge of the Northern Locofoco papers, are zealously defending the War with i‘lesko as one undertalien in behalf of the National honor. the Southern branch of the same school advocate it as a War waged for the promotion and permanent eF. tahlishment of :7,lavery and Southern ,interests.— Witness the following from a late number of the CharledomCourier : "Resides, evert• battle fought in Mexico, and every dollar spent there, but ensures the acquisition of territory which must widen the field of Southern enterprise. and power iodic future. And the final result will be to readjust the whole balance of power in the _confederacy - , ro as to give its control over the operations of the Govern ment in all time to conic.

GI Lit suT, upon Mr. AnONSEL LER, State Senator from Union county. The ope ration, which, we uni!erstand, was performed in the presence of a nutriber of the most distinguished Surgeons in the City, was entirely successful.— The U. States Gazette thus notices it: SENATOR WAGONSELLER.—On Saturday last, at the Merchants' Hotel, Judge Wag onseller, of Union county, (Pa.) underwent one of the most severe and dangerous ope rations known to surgery. He had been suffering from an enormous tumor upon his left shoulder, which was rapidly de stroying his vital pnwers.• The operation was performed by Dr. D. Gilbert, Profes sor or Surgery in Pennsylvania Medical College, and consisted in the removal of the entire arm and shoulder, including one-' third of the collar bone, and a large por tion of the shoulder blade. We are glad to learn that the patient is doing well, and that by tkis unparalleled surgical operation, his valuable life will not only be saved, but that it is probable, he will be able to at tend to his duties as the Representative of hiedistrict, at the ensuing session of our State Legislature. illness of Mr. Adams. The Bos on. Advertiser ,of Friday last says: "The pi ne wid be pained to learn that the vene rable JOHN QUINCX ADAMS was yesterday fore noon seized with a paralysis of his left side which for a time rendered him nearly insensible. He had kist left the residence of his son, the Hon. CHARLES F.

MY DEAR FRIEND :- . lloly would you like to have a Post Office which you could only visit once a week with the expectation of getting any thing, instead of daily, -as you are in the habit of doing, and then be disappointed twice out of three times Methinks, it would make you feel decicled ly bad, and cause you to think, that both relatives and friends had forsaken you ! But perhaps I may get some letters by way of the City of Mexico, as Gen. Am pudia was smart enough to intercept one of our expresses, whilst the fight was go ing on. My attachments are strong for Gettys burg ; for in it I have spent the most pro fitable, as well as the most happy period of my life. Highly do I value those who in structed me in class, and who, likewise, never failed to impart to me good advice, on all occasions. May their lives be pro longed for many years, and may they have the pleasure of seeing a great amount of good resulting from their incessant labors.

Nov 1::e emr 3, 1840. Mr DEAR Fru Exn—lt is with much regret that I communicate to you the painful intelligence of the accidental death of Capt. Randolph Ridgley. of the Light Artillery, who, whilst riding at it moderate gait, anctin the act of turning a corner in the City of Monterey, had his horse to fall with him. The concussion occasioned by the fall, was so great as to throw him into a state of insensibility, from which he never recovered—his life ebbing out about one o'clock on the morning of the 2Sth ult. without a struggle. How truly the scriptural saying that "in the midst of life we are. in death," has been verified in the death of this gallant officer ! Capt. Ridgley acted a conspicuous part on the eventful days of the Bth and 9th of May, and also at the capture of Monterey, Throughout all those days he was much exposed to the galling tire of the enemy, but remained untouched. By the last advices from Camargo we learn that the Rio Grande is becoming very low—so much so as to be navigated with much difficulty as high as Camargo with only half frights. To obviate. this difficulty in throwing up supplies to this important depot, upon which hang nearly all our hopes in the interior, hereafter a-the larger boats will ascend part of the distance from the mouth of the river, anti there be met by the smaller ones from above. Trains, consisting of front 50 to 120 wagons, are kept constantly in motion from Camargo to Monte rey. 500,000 rations have been ordered to be pla ced in depot here. This looking ahead is to meet what is expected to follow the expiration of the trace, (which terminates on the 28th inst.) n re commencement of hostilities, and an onward move ment towards Tampico. Some of the knowing-ones here appear to think that such a movement should not be undertaken with less than 25,000 men. The past we know, the future we have yet to learn. At nll events it would be best to have more than a sufficiency than too few. The most successful armies have met with their reverses, as the history of all nations ful ly prove. And no doubt it would be well for our Republic, now intoxicated with the success of her arms, to provide against the possibility of disaster. a 000 paclimiules were employed a few days ago to transport supplies for the Army from Camargo to Monterey. A mule will carry 300 pounds with comparative ease, which is called a Cargo. One Mexican will take care of six mules packed in this way,'whilst it requires an American, with all his attention, to manage one. The number of pack mules owned by one party is called an Ainhor, and may be from 25 to 100 ; if the latter the whole num ber is divided into 4 or 5 parts; each part so divi ded is preeZded by a Fell man, and each pack mule will follow its particular leader, as a well-trained dog follows his master. A laughable anecdote is related of one of the mounted Rangers, who, having exposed himself on the day of the arrival of Gen. Taylor's Army in the vicinity of Monterey, was taken prisoner by the en emy. Upon being carried beforo Gen. Amrudia and his Staff, many questions were hastily submit ted to the Ranger, arid amongst them the following : "What did Gen. Taylor's troops think of the pro eLlairrtion issued by Me (Gen: A inpudia) and cir culated by my agents in hiscarap ? Thu Ranger replied that the' commotoopinion entertained by Gen, Taylor's troops was. "that the Illeican Gen cral was decidedly grer»." , Not beitiz, able to get at the con:Arm - tic:a of the iolinp , intt:7- . , ,(0.5 • - By Last Night's Mail.

'Phis force arrived off 'l'obasco on the 25th ult., took a position within ISO yards of the shore, and summoned the town to surrender. The Governor refu sing. a bombardment was immediately commenced, which continued at intervals until the next day, doing - much damage to the town, when a white flag was shown by the inhabitants asking Com. Perry to spare the town, which out ,of feelings of humanity was acceded to. The inhabi 'tants could not leave, as the Governor would not permit them. Lieut. Mounts was the only American killed ill the affair, having been wounded in hit boat while in the act of elreering on his men.

Official information hail been received at the city of Mexico on the 20th ult. from San Luis Potosi, where Santa Anna had taken up his headquarters, and was concen trating his forces. It was announced that he had about 90,000 men with him, and had ordered the entire Mexican forces to meet him there, with a view of marching upon Gen, Taylor; and crushing the Amer ican army. He had decided on abandoning Tampico, without making any resistance; since lie has not a disposable force, swill— , ciently numerous, to garrison it at all points, at,oby evacuating it, he shall strengthen his own army and weaken Gen. Taylor's, who will be obliged to detach a conside rably body of troops to take possession of it and hold it. It is also said that Letters of Marque a gainst American Commerce had been is sued by the Mexican Government. Gen. Scolt iii the Field hear, (says the U. S. Gazette of Wednesday) from Washington a very important and well founded rumor, viz : that the command of the U. S. Army in. Mexico is to be given to Gen. SCOTT.— Why this is to be, we do not hear.— Whether it is to shift the responsibility, or to strengthen the army, is not asserted— possibly both. The adniinistration, of course, feels that it is losing ail by the Mexican war ; and NOW it admits that Gen. Scott was right in all the positions he as sumed ‘, at the comMenceinent. lr , .may therefore, suppose that the man who, last spring; could see all the difficulties of the contest, and :discern the true time for ac tion, ought to direct the movements of the army and share the responsibility of action.. LATER.—There seems to be no doubt! that the command of the Army of inva- ; sion has been assigned to Gen. SCOTT.— lie passed through Philadelphia with his. suite on Wednesday morning for. New York, where he was to take passage in a steamer for Charleston. From thence to. proceed direct , to Tampico, upon which place advices from Washington say that a klemohstration is to be made. Our corres— pondent at Monterey writing under date of Nov. 3, speaks of the movement against Tampico as being no longer in doubt. The appointment of Gen.. Scott, it is, un— derstood, was induced by late intelligence received by the government from the Ar, my and Mexico. It is said that COM. STEWART, ("Ohl Ironsides") will be sent to the Gulf to. manage the naval-operations. lit-TT Yesterday, being the period set. a- part by the Voiternor of the State as a day of Thanksgiving, our, town presented the appearauve of a well. observed Sahhath„all the Stores, offices, and pluees,of public sines having been closed. ,_,42proprinte religious services were held in the ent aburches, • il3" lion.. ro.

POWDER MILL EXDLOSION.,—OR Mon day morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, the Belona Powder' Works of Mr: JAMES the about 6 miles from Baltimore on Baltimore and Susquehana Railroad, were completely demolished by an eXplo sion killing-ae of the workmen. There Were about two tons of powder in the at the time. The explosion was distinct ly heard in Baltimore, the concussion shaking the houses all over the city. As all who were in the Mills met with instant death, the cause of the accident must left to conjecture. • 0-At Pittsburg on Friday afternoon last, an explosion took place in the foundry of Messrs. Alger and Holland, which re sulted most calamitously. The boiler bursted, killing Mr. Holland and a Mr. M'Clory, tearing ofr both their heads, and severely wounding two or three others.— The hotise was reduced to a mass of ruins. FATAL AectnENT.—On Thursday last as some young men living near Frystown, were returning home from gunning, an ac cident occurred which has proved fatal to one of the .:iompany. It seemus that all had fired. their guns, as they were nearing Home, but IsAnc Moniusopi, concluded to reload, lest he might see sumac game while unprepared, and alter having loaded, and was about letting the cock of the gun upon the eap=just as Wri-mAm ZIMMERMAN was passing the muzzle—it slipped ow his thumb, and the whole load entered the side of Mr. Zimmerman. lle lingered until Saturday night when he died—aged about 1 23 years.— York !idvoew'e. 14.(Ac D.

The prin ciples upon which they are made are so unerring, tliat a million pounds could be nude Der day without the most remote possibility , of a mistake occurring. Get the genuine, that is all, and. the medicine will give you full satisfaction. When the blood is in an unsound-condi tion, it is as ready for infection as land ploughed and harrowed to receive the al lotted grain. Those who are wise, will therefore commence the purification of their blood without delay ; and those who are already attacked- with sickness should do the same. Ladies should use Brandreth's Pills fre quently. They will ensure them from severe sickness of the stomach, and, gene rally speaking, prevent it. Brandreth's Pills are harmless. They increase the powers of life ; they do not depress them. Females will find. them to secure that state of health which every mother wishes to enjoy. In costiveness, so often prevalent at an interesting period, Brandreth's Pills are a safe and effectual remedy. There is no medicine so safe as this; it is more easy than castor oil, and is now generally used by numerous ladieS through their confinement. Dr. Brandreth can re fer to many of our first physicians who re commend his pills to their patients, to the esclnsion of all other pprgativas, and the pills, being composed entirely of herbs or vegetable matter, purify the blood, and car ry the corrupt humors of the body, in a manner so simple as to give every day ease and pleasure.
