The Candidate for Canal Com
missioner. Mr. Jakes M; Power whose name
the reader perceives we nave raised to our
mast-head as. the Whi candidate for Car

who know him as being a man of strict in
tegrity &jevery way qualified for the oHice
to which he has been nominated His nom
ination by so rorpectable and intelligent a
body as the Whig State Convention, is
of itself sufficient evidence -of this fact.
Believing, therefore, that "Mr. Power's
election would be a benefit to the Com
monwealth and the people, : we shall use
our humble efforts to the accomplishment
of so desirable an object. The office of
Canal Commissioner is an important one,
and as it is said and "believed that tlie pre
sent board ere not managing the public
works as they osght to be managed, it is
the. duty of the whigs, who have to con
tribute their share of taxes for the pay
ment of tlie' interest upon the cost of
those works, to endeavor by all fair and
honorable means in their power, to elect
their candidate at the ensuing election.
Important from Ilarrisburp:.
Our intelligence from Ilarrisburg ia re
gard to the prospect of carrying the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Bill ia the
House of Representatives is of a rather
unfavorable character. Philadelphia is
bringing all her influence to bear against
it. Deaf to the voice of reason and of
justice, her whole energies are bent upon
he defeat of "a measure.- llie success of
which she blindly judges would operate to !
ner disauvanlage. l orgetiui oi uie lavors
she has hertofore received from our Le
gislatures, she engages in endcaTcrs to in
flict great and lasting injury upon those
to. whom she is mostly indebted, for her
past prosperity. Selfish in the extreme,
phe grudges to the city of Baltimore an
cqnal chance with herself for the west
ern tra3e and travel and in order "to
make sure of defeating her rival, .she
would sacrifice the. interests of at least
one-third of the citizens of the Common
wealth. Snchli1-iHe "sense of justice
and of gratitude, the wisdom -"and the

RAIL ROAD MEETING.
GREAT EXCITEMENT,
At a respectable "meeting of tlie citizens
of Somerset county, of all parties, con
vened at the Court House on the spur of
the moment, before the sitting of the
Court, on Saturday the 21st day of March
1816, Daniel Weyand Eso.. was called
to the Chair, 'Solomon , Baldwin, Isaac
Hugus, Esq. ipt. Thomas Kingi Henry
Younkin and Vm. II. Postlethwaitc,
Esq. were chosen as Vice Presidents, and
John Ncff, Josiah Lichtenberger, John
O. Kimmel, and Ross Forward, Esqs,
were appointed Secretaries. -
On motion oi Sarnl W. Pearson, Esq.
a committee consisting of Saml W Pear-
son, S. Gcbhart, A. J.Ogle, F. M. Kirn-
mel and J. Row Esqs. was appointed by
the President to prepare resolutions for
the consideration of the meeting, who af
ter a short deliberation, through their
Chairman, Saml W Pearson, reported
the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted, viz:
Whereas in 1823 the representatives of
the South Western counties in the Legis
lature were induced to advocate a central
line of internal Improvements by the. re
peated and solemn pledges of East
ern Representatives, that when the
Southern ' and Western counties ' should
want their aid, for a like purpose it should
be freely given. And Whereas upon the
faith of said pledges, the present line of
Internal Improvements were constructed
at an expense of 40 millions of dollars, 'for
the payment of which every seetion of
the State has always deemed itself pledg
ed, and for the payment of the interest
thereon, all tlie people of the State are a
like burdened with taxes. And whereas
the southern and western counties have
hitherto uncomplaining byborne their ahare
of the burdens without any of the benefits of
the present Public Works. And where
as a desperate effort is now making by the
selfish and sordid capitalists of Philadel
phia to defeat the "Right of Way to the
B. (t O. R. company, through the south
ern part of our state to Pittsburgh.
Resolved, that while we Tiew with
pride and gratitude the nohla' conduct of.
the respectable minority of onr eastern
brethern and their noble hearted repre
sentative, the (Ion. Charles Gibbons, in
fulfilling the pladges made to the west in
former years, which all honorable men :
ought to regard, we cannot but denounce
as base and dishonorable the position of
those Nrho contcmptously' oppose all
measures which in their blind jealansy
snd selfishness, they' think cannot be
made altogether tributary lo their own
aggrandizement'. " .
Resolved, That if the Bill, grai
ting said "'riht of way," now before
the House of Representatives be defeated !
by the machinations of its infatuatcdtoppo
nents, the time will- have arrived when
I'forbearance shall have ceased to be .a
virtue," and we the people of Somerset
county solemnly warn our Eastern breth
ern, that the storm of indignation now
brewing in the western horizon will soon
burst upon them in the thunder tones of a
deeply, injured people, who know their
rights and are determined to maintain
them.
Resolved, That the time for argument
as to the policy of granting the "right of
way," which to us is as clear as tlie .sun
at noonday, is past, and it is now suffi
cient for us to say, that the citizens of die
south-west have rights, no longer to be
sued for as favors, and if those rights be
disregarded by the Legislature, it will be
come a subject of inquiry with them,
how far they shall submit in future to the
dictation of a moneyed , aristocracy, wiio
batten upon theTiseand fall of state stocks,
who have no interest in - common with
other classes of citizens, and who arc now
evidently endeavoring to sway the dest
tines of this great commonwealth.
Resolved, That in view oi the fact that
Philadelphia city and county, and a few
other eastern counties have hitherto been
reaping all the benefits of our Public
Works, paying no greater proportion for
their support, than those sections which
have been reaping injury only, and that
coutinually, the time will have arrived, at
the defeat of the "right of way" bill,
when it will become a matter of grave
consideration with those thus injured,
whether they shall hereafter contribute
any tiling more to the state treasury in the
snape of taxes. Let those who dance pay
tlie piper. '
Resolved, That tlie issue involved in
this measure is simply, whether the
Penna. bondholders in Phila. shall rule
Penna. or whether Penna. shall rule the
holders of her bonds in common with all
her other citizens. '
Resolved, That all the members of i2e
Legislature, who, although not immedi
ately interested in the' "right of way," on '
account of locality, have nevertheless giv-'
en their aid and votes to the bill, have oiir
most hearty thanks fof their generous sup
port of a measure of such vital import
ance to this part of the state.
Resolved, That we heartily respond in
spirit to the sentiments of a circular just
received from Ilarrisburg, recommending
meetings of the people, and .especially a
General Mass Convention proposed to be
held in Allegheny city on the 8th pf April
next, . .:
Resolved,. That $hould the "right pf
way" be defeated, this county will send
delegates to.said Convention, and that the
Hon.- J. S. -Black, A. J. Ogle, S. . Gel
hart Jacob. Philjppj Isaac Ankeoyv John
Witt, John Hsmna, Pptcr Mcytrs md Da
niel Lepleyv Esqs. be an executive -com
mittce with power to appoint delegates to
tne above propp$eg convention, or any
other that may be called for' similar ; pur-
pases. ;;i;.t.;: '..,;-;-,.
i 5 Tie following resolutious were .offer
effbyA. J. Ogle 'Esq., and' were' also
unanimously adopted. . . .
: ; .Resolved, That the expression made
. a
by that distinuguished PhUadetphian, the
j-nxriion. johx&wift, "mat it tne ngnt oi
way should by any possibility pass he
would be one of 10,000 1 to march and
prevent by force the first spade from be
ing inserted iu the soil of Pennsylvania"
is decidedly funny, arid exhibits a reck
lassuess with regard to his personal safe
ty which is as lamentable as his ignorance
o'fthe fact tnat the state .limits are not
terminated by the Schuylkill but expend
f Clear .orjT. back" even beyond the
Susquehannah..
Resolved, That we recommend to the
said chivalrous Swift and his 9933 val-.
iant compeers who intend fighting the
battle of the spades, before -they mount
their barbed steeds to send out a scouting
party for the purpose of examining the
mountain cltjbs, and if - their : hearts do
not admonish them, that the safety of
jtheir MAM0XDS requires them to continue
capering nimbly in their aristocratic par
lore: why then let them come on our
Tf-ap is always set, and thev are hereby
respectfully notified that although for the
purposes of birbery fraud and corruption
their pile far exceeds ours in magnitude,
yet at that other game we can't be bluffed.
On motion Resulted, That these pro
ceedings be signed by the officers, and a
copy of them forwarded inslanter to Col.
j Edte our Representative, to be presented
and read in the House of Representa
tives, and that the same be pubiuhed in
all the papers in the state friendly to the
great measure new agitating our section
of countrr. , .

"Wednesday, March 18, 18 10.
t'nprccedented JTloodln tlieSus
qacuanna. Bridges:, at Harrigbcro and Clark's
Ferry, and on the Juniata swept
away, and a vast amount of other
property destroyed!
The heavy rain on Friday night last,
carrying with it a great portion of Hie im
mense body of snow which was accumu
lated on the mountains and hills in tho vi
cinity of the Susquehanna and its tribu
taries, caused the river to rise to an un
precedentedt height, and a vast amount
of private and public property has been
destroyed.
. The river at this point commenced ri
sing rapidly on Saturday morning, and
continued to rise till Sunday about noon,
at which time it had risen to the extraor
dinary height of about 21 feet above its
ordinary level; completely covering the
large Island opposite our borough, and
spreading over a large portion of the low
er end of the town, in some instances ri
sing to the second stories of the houses
and driving the people from tlieir ' homes
to seek shelter elsewhere from the raging
element. The highest rise in . the Sus
quehanna in the recollection of our oldest
inhabitants, was the memorable "pump
kin flood" of 1781, which did net' ex
ceed, if it. equalled this in height, and
was not any thing like so destructive.
I The. one half of the old Ilarrisburg
Bridge from the Ilarrisburg shore to tlie
Island has been completely swept away,
piers and all. The other end withstood
the shock and remains firm. The three
middle spans fell between three and four
o'clock on Sunday morning, with a tre
mendous crash, which awakened us out
of our sleep, a distance of two squares
off. The end resting on tlie Island fell
about nine o'clock, and the last span on
this shore gave way about two o'clock in
the afternoon. It fell with a heavy crash',
and lloated majestically down the stream.
Tlie scene on the bank of the river at this
time was exceedingly animated, the shore
being lined with an immense mass of hu
man beings, of both sexes and all ages
and conditions, drawn together to witness
this last scene of thi3 catastrophy, and to
gaze in amazement and awe at the power
of the raging torrent, as it rushed onward
in its majesty and might.
This Bridge was erected from 1813 to
1817, by the celebrated architect Burr, at
a cost of nearly $200,000, and we believe
the second bridge erected over the Sus
quehanna. . It had withstood the freshets
for thirty years, and would not now have
fallen, but for the immense - bodies of ice
from the upper branches, which literally
cui'thc piers to pieces,by the terrible force
with which they wore driven against
them. The loss is a heavy one to the
icompany.
The piers for the new Cumberland Val
ley Railroad Bridge had . all been rebuilt,
and the. wood-work on four span . erected,
which was all swept away. The loss
will fall heavily upon the contractor and
the company.
The crops on the Island are of course
greatly injured, ifrnot entirely destroyed.
The family living upon it, and their stock,
with the exceptiou of two hogs, were
taken off about 11 o'clock on Saturday
night.
Considerable injury was done ; to . Gov.
Porter's Anthracite Furnace. The - war
'ter backed up into the Paxton creek from
the river, overflowing tlie creek, the canal
and towing-path, fences, brick yards and
houses, and rose to the hearth and almost
into the fires of the Furnace. The Fur-,
nace was stopped, and somewhat damag
ed, not seriously, however, as we are glad
to learn. - ' -
Two span of the towing-path bridge at'
Clark's Ferry were swept away, and the
bridges over the Juniata at Duncan's
Island and Sherman's creek. All the
houses on the lower part of Duncan's
Island overflowed, arid their occupants
obliged lo remove for safe quarters."
-Tfrc Duncan' Iron" Works, at 'Chrk's
Ferry, were greatly inju fed. bridge?,
dams and houses attached to the works be;-
- i i "- y ; iijiiii j
7" v. I. ,y - ., .. . . . -J.7-
iig.NS.we.pt, away... The damage done
must from. all accounts, exceed $20,000! ,
- --Mr. McAllen's mill, two jniles be
low Ilarrisburg, was partly carried away
together with a quantity of grain. Loss
considerable.
; Fox's mill dam at Halifax . was swept
off,, and, other serious damage done to
property, in that neighborhood.
t Communication by mail, railroads or
stages, was for a time wholy eut off,
but we are now (Tuesday noon) again in
the receipt of mails from all quarters, but
the orth and Juniata. The mails from
the. west were ferried over the river yes
terday. "We understand that the enter
prising proprietors of the railroad and
stage lines, wesj and south, will promptly
establish a ferry, so that but little incon
venience or delay will be experienced by
the travelling community, or ia the trans
mission of goods. . .
Every , where along the river, far as we
have yet heard, great injury has been
done, it is feared that the canal hes been
so much impaired, as to occasion consid
erable delay in commencing business up
on it. Of the extent of the injury, how
ever, nothing can be. known certainly
until the waters subs idee, and the neces
sary examinations of the works arc made.
The Canal Commissioners are taking
measures to ascertain tho extent of in
jury.. POSTSCRIPT. .
.' gCTAt the hoar of putting , our paper
to press, (Tuesday Evening, ? o'clock,)
the river has fallen about 9 feet.
Passengers and mails to and from the
East and .West, have been ferried over
the river during the day in flats ond other
boats. A regular ferry will be establish
ed in a day or two, so that but little delay
or inconvenience will be experienced.
No mails or intelligence yet from the
NorUi, and Juniata fnrther up than Clark's
Ferry. . Nothing, therefore, is. known of
the. extent of injury to the canals.
Since the falling of the water, it is as
certained that a portion of the Ilarrisburg
and Lancaster Railroad has been swept
away, rendering it necessary to carry
the passengers and mails about five miles
instagesbeibre the can take the cars.
Wc learn verbally from York, that the
Codorus creek was very high, and did
some damage in the borough of York.
A Freshet in the Schuylkill.
There was a heavy freshet in the Schuyl
kill oh Saturday, when there was six
feet of water rushing over the dam. The
current was tremendous. Great alarm
was felt in the neighborhood, and consid
erable damage was done. Rails and logs
came floating down in great abundance;
wood piles were washed away, and a
number of houses along the river were so
flooded that the inmates were compelled
cither io seek safety in flight, or to ascend
to tlie upper stories. Pine street wharf
was covered up to the first street from the
pyc'rl The scene on Saturday afternoon
jwas.9.ne pfjan exciting and novel charac-.
ter. Quite a number of persons were on
the wharves looking on, and the boatmen
Were busy on the river, picking up logs,
pieces of timber, and any other floating
articles ihey could lay their hands on.
The Canal Campany's works were over
flooded; but we tmst that when the wa
ter, fully subsides, the dam.rge will be
found to be inconsiderable. The wood
en platforms in front of the Wheel-houses
of the Fairmount Water Works were
washed away. Yesterday the water
was subsiding, and between morning and
evening had fallen nine inches. Bickneii
