GEN". JAMES 11 IV J X,
or c::trh cocntv.
Tor Casta! Commissioner.
JOSEPH! .W; l'ATTOX,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
UK. J A JSCS HIVE.
Uv the proceedings of ihe Whig State
Convention it will be. seen that .Gen.
James Irvin, of Centre Count', has been
put in nomination as the Whig candidate
r - l?r'.'tririr -it lt nti! nor plorl inn . As
,,....,,1 nriftir-il Whinr mil! zealous- ail- '
a rutiuu j '
voeate of a protective tariff, Gen. Irvin is
second to no man in the State-, -and his
'popularity in his own district, together
villi his speeches in Congress, while he
was a member of that body, furnish the
verv best evidence of his fitness for the
Executive chair. Though Gen. Irvin
was not the first choice of the Whigs of
this county, we feel assured that they
u ill give him a cordial support at the cn
uinj election. . - '
THE NATIONAL ADMINIS
TRATION. We are of that class of politicians who
are content at all times lo await the de
velopment of policy by our political op
ponents before passing judgment upon
them, and then deal wilh them according
ta what we believe to be cither their mer
its or de-merits. In this spirit we have
watched, rather passively, the course of
the present National Administration, wil
to give it a fair and full trial before
we should undertake lo cither mprovc or
condemn it.
And now, after the lapse of i
iwo years since Mr. Polk was made Pre
sident, what shall we cay of his adminis
tration? He found the nation at peace
with all the world, every branch of in-
dustry and of business prosperous, labor j
protected and rewarded, the National j
Treasury just recovering from exhaustion j
and the National credit reviving under the ,
operations of the Whig Tariff of 1842.
The prospect for a long season cf pros
perity to this nation was seldom more cr.
courrging. But two years two short
years have wrought a most wonderful
change. War, with all its evils, has fol
lowed a long season of peace, foreign
competition lias been invited to our shores
and car markets, the National Treasury
Las main become exhausted, the National
credit again prostrated, and, only for the
failure of the crops in Ireland and on the
continent, which caused a heavy rise in
the price of our bread-stuffs even long
before the present Tariff went into opera
tion, our farmers would now be without
a market for their Eurpks produce.
The unusual foreign demand has emptied
the farmers' garners; but one abundant
harvest on the continent will destroy that
market, and then where will our produ
cers and another? Certainly not in Liv
erpool; and if the present Tariff is to be
preserved, the domestic market will fail
thorn also. - '
Whether we look al the war the man
ner in which it was originated and the
wav in which it l.as been carried on or
whether wc look at the condition of the
National finances, or the state of Na
tional credit, we cannot help but deplore
the bungling and iil-advised policy of the
Administration, which, besides all', that
wc have noticed, Lids fair to leave the
country, not only crippled in her ener
gies, hut involved in a heavy national
debt, that must be paid, sooner or later,
by the people.
; VERA CRUZ & THE CASTLE.
Wo condense the following, in relation
to the situation of Vera Cruz and the
Castle of San Juan de Uiloa, from an ac
count written by a naval officer and pub
lished in the New York Tribune, which
will no doubt be interesting to some of
our readers. "
The City of Vera Cruz contains 7,000
inhabitants. It is situated upon a low
it-m?... U.!, on.l vraV.eA with a sort nf

miasma, so destructive
to life during the
The Ctle of San Juan fronts the Ci-
tv at a distance of thrre-eighths of a mile,
i vA is supported by a water-battery al the
nori.'i-wcst an-le of the town, of 32 and
42 pound p::::.. The Castle Itself has
mounted CC0 cannon and a large number
fif Piishan pins, which arc so arranged
that a' fleet, aitoinptinj: : en nttack will be
exposed to a rahinj fire from at least 70
pieces for :i distance of two miles, before
it sn he In position 0 s.;-l pHcctually np-
on the Castle. The number of troops in
the City, and Castle is .vanousljr -stated
at 3,500 to 5,500.
The plan of' operations against this
place appears to be this: Gen. Scott will
land his troops, , either at Sacrificios, 3
miles from the Castle, or at Anton Lizar
do, 20 miles distant; and will then march
upon" the city and lake it; and getting
possession of it with its , batteries, make
a conjoint attack with the squadron upon
the Castle, and cany it or starve it out.
The attack, it is supposed, will be made
about the 18th or 20th of the present
month. - -: ' ' ' : v '' " : ' . '"
BENTON AND II ANNCGAN..
Senator Denton of Missouri, and Sena
tor Hannegan of Indiana, two of the
"harmonious Democracy,". had considera
b'e sparring in the Senate oa the Monday
evening preceding the final adjournment.
Mr. Hannegan had some days previous
offered a resolution directing the Secreta
ry of the Senate to contract with a Dr.
Houston to report the proceedings of Con
gress during the ensuing session. " Mr.
Benton denounced the proposition as one
which was designed to enable the Doctor
to raise funds, by plundering the Treasu
ry, to establish a new paper at Washing
ton which was to oppose the Polk Ad
ministration. Mr. Hannegan thereupon
gave Mr. Benton several severe personal
thrusts," and then the two Senators parted,
with the mutual understanding that they
were to be friends no more.
BEAUTIES OF LOCOF0C0ISM.
Last year at the close of the session,
Mr. Polk asked Congress for two mil
lions to enable him to buy a peace with
Mexico. The House passed a Bill to
that effect, saddled, however, with Mr.
Wilmot's Anti-Slavery proviso; but it did
not pass the Senate. This , year Mr.
Polk asked, for three: millions for the
same purpose. 1 ne House again grant
ed it; but again with a like proviso m re
gard to Slavery. The Senate struck out
the proviso and passed the bill without it;
whereupon the House recedes from its
position and also passes the Bill granting
the money unconditionally! This is an-
o:hcr specimen of Locofoco consistency
OUR ARMY.
The American forces now in Mexico
! and on their way thither number' about
25,500 volunteers and 8,500 regulars
making 34,000 in all. The term of ser
vice of some of Ihe .volunteers will ex
pire in the early part of the summer; but
their places, it is expected, will be filled
by regulars raised under the hew Army
bill, which provides for the enlistment of
ten regiments, besides four companies of
Artillery. - . ,. - ', .
THE RELIEF BILL
A Bill appropriating half a million of
dollars for the relief of the suffering poor
in Ireland, passed the United States Sen
ate some weeks since; but when the Bill
came up in the House of Representatives
it was voted down, as we understand, by
the Locofoco party the same men who
on the eve of elections generally make so
much a-do about their lore for the Irish
in this counlrv. ; . -
FRANCIS R. SIIUNK.
His Excellency, although he had taken
time by the forelock in regard to securing
I his nomination, will find it an up-hi:l busi
ness to run against a man "ju?t fresh
from the ranks of the people." The office-holders
will, of course, try their best
to have him re-elected, but the mass of
the people, many even of his own politi
cal party, cannot be lashed into the traces.

The editor of the Pennsylvania Intel
ligencer, Harrisbutg, proposes to publish

WAR AND MAIL STEAMERS.
Among the numerous bills which hap
pily passed both houses last night was
the important bill proposed by Mr. King,!
of Georgia, at the last session, in relation
to the employment by the Government of
sea steamers. .. . . ;
This bill provides, first, for the con
struction of four war steamers of the first
class.
Secondly, a line of mail steamers from !
New York to Liverpool, consisting of
five ships of not less than 2,000 tons
each.
Thirdly, a line of mail steamers from
New York lo New Orhans, touching at
Savannah, in Georgia, and Havana, with '
a branch line from Havana to Chagres,
comprising five ships of not less, than 1,
500 tons each; the ships of both lines to
be constructed under the directions of ihe
Navy Department.
Fourthly, a line of steamers from Pa
nama, on ihe Pacific, to Oregon, touching
at the intermediate ports.
All thescships to be subject to the or
der of and purchase by the .Government
at any time; and all to be commanded by
naval officers, and a certain number of
passed midshipmen as watch officers, and
for improvement in the management of
steamships. Nat. Intel. "
The President says the war was begun
by Mexico, and Mr. Calhoun says the
War was begun by the President. Here
is an issue between brethern of ihe same
family. The President says the war was
begun when the Mexican troops attacked
the advanced Guard of our army near
Point Isabel; while Senator Turney and
Sam. Houston insist lhat in taking Texas
we took her War. Here is more harmo
ny. The President says the Rio Grande,
from its mouth to its source, is the true
boundary of Texas, and yet he informs
Congress that Geu. Kearney conquered
New Mexico, which lies within the ter
ritory claimed as a part of Texas.; Thus,
not only do leading members oi tne loco
foco party differ in opinion with the Pre
sident; but the President differs in, opin
ion with himself 1 The only thing in
which there appears to be perfect harmo
n'v upon all hands is, that James K. Polk
is totally unfit for the place which he oc
cupies ! Alb. Journal. - "' ; ?

j to supply a want greatlv felt by re
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken eick and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief from surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the wanl of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected lu
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided witft
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, and al a rate much below ihe usu
al charges.

be extended to every variety of disease.
