SOMERSET HERALD. Somerset, 3?n.t TUESDAY, JUNE 1G, 1810. FOR CNAL COMMISSIONED. JAMES M. POWER, OF MCKCER COCXTY. COUNTY JHEETING. The Whi and Anlimasons of Somer set County are requested to meet at 2, P. M. on Tuesday the 14th of July, at the Court House in Somerset, for the purpose of appointing conferees, to meet the conferees of Fayette and Greene, to put in nomination a candidate for Con gress. By order of the County Committee. Next Governor Gen. Markle. Wc perceive that several journals are agitating the question as to w ho shall be the next Whig candidate for Governor, and a disposition manifested in certain quarters to push the claims of Gen. Irt viv. We repeat now what we said be fore, that against Gen. Irvin we have nothing to ure. Believing him to be an honest, devoted Whig, a man of strong raind, and deservedly popular in his own district, we hope to see him the Whig candidate for Governor at the proper time, when, if our life be spared us till then, wc shall take pleasure in giving him our humble support. But the present is not the time for his friends to urge his claims. Gen. Markle, at the last Gu bernatorial election, ran under most unfa vorable circumstances, as all are aware, and yet came very nigh being elected.- He received, we honestly believe, at least ten thousand votes more than could have been riven to Gen. Irvin or anv other Whiff under the circumstances, and it would therefore be .unjust and impolitic toet him aside for a new man at the next Gubernatorial election. No: let the old "Fighting Captain" have another trial, and if he cannot be elected, no other Whig can. Somcllilnsr About Ruttcr. A gentleman of this county, who had last year engaged in the Butter business, informed us recently, that the Baltimore dealers had determined for the future to have all Butter inspected before purchas ing. It appears that they have come to this determination in consequence of hav ing last year received some lots which were sold to them as "Glades Butter," but which on examination proved to be a very inferior article. As many of our farmers make large quantities of Butter annually, it 'may be to their interest to note this fact; for by sending to market an article of the "right stripe," they will no doubt be amply compensated, h its ready sale and an increased price, for any little extra trouble they may be at in pre paring it. Militia and Volunteers. Gen. Cameron, on presenting in the Senate lately the prececdings of a meet ing of the citizens of Philadelphia, ten dering to the Government their services in the existing war with Mexico, stated that Pennsylvania had a muster roll of two hundred and thirty thousand milita, and a volunteer force of thirty two thou sand raakinff altogether two hundred and sixty-two thousand men, which is more than half the number that Buona parte marched into Russia when he at tempted the conquest of the great Empire of the North. Pennsylvania alo le, there fore, could furnish a force sufficient to overrun and subdue all Mexico. A "Democratic War." The Philadelphia Keystone, a rampant locofoco sheet, designates the present war with Mexico as a "Democratic war," thinking no doubt thereby to be able to make a little capital for the Administra tion, whose conduct in the matter has been censured by some. We believe the Keystone to be correct in its designa tion, in so far as the bringing on of the war is concerned; but as regards the fight ing part, we think it most cgregiously iu error. The war with Mexico, no matter what are the causes that have pro duced it, is viewed by all patriotic citi zens as a national contest, in which the whole country is interested, and in the prosecution of which men of all parties have manifested their readiness to partici pate. Where, then, is the propriety or justice of giving it a party character! As well, because the gallant Gen. Tay lor is a thoroughgoing Whig, might wc denominate it a "Whig War," and claim for the Whig party all the credit cf his recent victories. Vof c or ThanU. Centres has parcel a vote of thanks ?n I'lP rfr,.rr irn r.f fll! A rmv of n . r i ii . A.,rt in' the recent cn; c . Yemenis Wl.fl UiC .UUr "a;:s on the Rio Grande. Speech or Mr. Stewart. Wre refer the reader to another column for some remarks of Mr. Stewart in re gard to the existing war and the pay of those who are to do the fighting part. All arc aware that, until farther enlistments take place, the Government's main reliance for troops will be upon volunteers and it is this meritorious class of soldiers whose pay Mr. Stewart wishes to have increas ed to ten dollars per month just two dollars more than Members of Congress receive per day. Is there any thing ex travagant, unfair, or unjust in this? We opine not and we further opine that, had the proposition came from an other quarter, those -who are so loud in their censures of Mr. Stewart for making it, would have denounced as cowards and traitors and tories, all who should have opposed it. The truth is, there are some folks whom Mr. Stewart cannot please, do as he will for whom he mud dies the water whether he passes the stream above or below them and who, if they cannot find fault with his acts, try to injure him by assailing his motives. 'Tis a pity a great pity, that some people are so hard to please! The Xallonal Fair. Wc are gratified to learn that the great National Fair, recently held at Welling ton City, proved entirely satisfactory to the friends of Home Industry, Tind did not fail to convince even the most scepti cal free traders that, under the operations of the present excellent Tariff, our manu facturers and artisans can cope success fully with those of any other country. And we are ih e more gratified at this re sult, because the project of holding such a Fair originated with our Representa tive in Congress, Hon. Andrew Stew art, who rallied to his aid influential men from the several States, to carry out that enterprizc, and to whom the nation is therefore mainly indebted for this great triumph of our workmen over those of Europe. The policy of protecting our manufactures and the skill of our me chanics and artisans, have been thereby fully demonstrated, and opposition in a crrpiit measure silenced. Even some of the Administration presses speak most fa vorably of the exhibition, which we take as an indication of an intention on their part to "cut loose" from "Jemmy O'Polk" and come out in favor of the true inter ests of the country, and for which we rannot too hifrhlv commend them. But o our friendly advice to them at the same time is, not to allow that fact to come to the knowledge of "Father Ritchie," lest he pronounce upon them his anathema and read them out of the party as politi cal heretics. A Prize. The New Orleans Delta states that the United States Marshal had seized the Mexican schooner Juniata, under pro cess issued against her as a prize of war, she being owned by citizens of Mexico. Polkism. James K. Polk's brother, William II. Polk, who receives a salary of S 1,500 forgoing to Naples in the char acter of Envoy, is said to be spending his time in the city of Paris. TIIC FLOUR JIAUKET. Flour is down in price, both inthe east and west. In Philadelphia it is selling at 84, in Baltimore $3 87, in Cumber land at $3 50, and in Pittsburgh at from $2 50 to $2 87. CEP"Edward Webster, sou of Daniel Webster , is raising a company at Boston, to proceed to the scat-of war. Cg?"We sec it reported that fifty bushels of strawberries were sold in Cin cinnati one day week before last. 'CThe "Somerset Guards," com manded by Capu S. W. Pearson, have resolved to "go to the wars," should their services be needed. PlTTSCUEGII & CoNNELLSVILLE RaiL- road. The books for subscription of stock in this company were opened in Pittsburgh on the 9th inst., and nearly G,000 shares taken the first day. C7HenryjClay, Jr., it is said, is rais ing a Volunteer company to march against Mexico. nS27""Gcorgc B. Crittenden, a Captain in the new regiment of Mounted Riflemen, was in the famous battle of Mier, which was fought some years since. ?George W. Kendall, who was one of the prisoners taken in the Texas expedition against Mexico, has joined the Army under Gen. Taylor. XTThe citizens of Hagcrstown, Md.f have determined to erect a monument to the memory of Maj. Ringgold. THE SEASON. The present season has been very favor i aoie io vrgciauon ana me growing crops ,far a, vsmrid. Thn nrr.nrcl fnr .n . - - rv 5 abundant harvest never was better. Fayette County. j The Whigs of Fayette, at their recent county meeting, adopted a series of reso lutions, from which we clip the follow ing: Resolved, That in the present condi tion of. our beloved country involved in war with a neighboring Republic, while we feel justified in pointedly condemning the policy of our rulers, who have tm necessartly brought this war upon us, yet as Whigs, and lovers of the country, we highly approve ot the course ot our whig brethren in Congress in providing men and means for the prosecution of the war. Resolved, That in answer to the base insinuation that the "whigs.are not the friends of the country," Mre point trium phantly to a Scott a Taylor and Ring gold, and a nost ot otner wnig onicers oi the army and navy, as whigs ever ready to sacrifice their lives and their fortunes in defence of their country. Resolved, That the thanks of the whigs of this Congressional district are due to our able and indefatigable Repre sentative, ANDREW STEWART, Esq, for his untiring defence of the Tariff for his project of a National Fair to counteract the influence of the exhibition of British manufactures, in one of the rooms of the Capiiol,got up by the friens of JamesK. Polk,enemiesof the I anfT,to pros trate domestic industry and also, for his recent though unsuccessful effort to raise the pay of volunteer soldiers. C7The meeting appointed Wrilliam Colvin, Alexander Black, and Sabastian Rush, ts conferees to meet whh others from Somerset and Greene to nominate a candidate for Congress. Kentucky Volunteers. The Washington Union says: "When it was proclaimed that the government had called on Kentucky for troops to prosecute the war against Mexico,suchwas the zeal displayed, that two captains who had succeeded in raising their campanies, started to the capital to report themselves to the governor as ready to march; one of them on arriving at Lexington, was apprised that he was preceded by the other, who had only left a few minutes and immediately drove post haste to be in first; the other learning the object, in creased his speed, and both continued the race until one unfortunately broke his buggy, and left an apparently easy con test to his rival; but, nothing discouraged he ungeared his horse and mounted with out saddle, and by taking a near cut beat his antagonist to the executive chamber, but was informed that the number re quired had already been accepted; in the meantime the other came up, when both crest fallen and disappointed, inquired if they would not have preference m a war with England; such is the spirit that per vades our country." New .Hampshire. The Convention of the two branches of the New Hamp shire Legislature on Friday elected Gen eral Anthony Colby, the Whig candi date, Governor for the ensuing year, by a majority of 21 votes. The rote stood for Anthony Colby, 146; for J. W. Williams, 125. LIST OF RETAILERS, of merchandize; In the County of Somerset.
