All the signs of the time betoken a glorious victory. Pitt. Gaz. "IRVIN AND PATTON!" To-day we again raise the glorious Whig Banner, inscribed with the names f "Irvtn and Patton," to our mast head, and shall battle under it faithfully and zealously until success crowns our efforts. The canvass promises to be a most favorable one for the Whigs. We are united as one man we possess the c6nsciou4)icss of being once mtre in the majority we feel the growing populari ty of our principles, and the retrogade tendency of Locofocoism. Wc know, too, that Pennsylvania must and will, sooner or later, be a thorough-going WHIG STATE. It is her interest, just as much as it is the interest of Massachu sells, to be so. Locofocoism has tiung like an incubus over her prospects long enough it can do so no longer. The mass of the people will never vote against their interests and their interests require that Whig principles should prevail. A great Agricultural and Manufacturing State like Pennsylvania cannot be bound down by narrow ond contracted Locofoco dogmas. It will it has already bro ken the withes of prejudice as Samson did those of the Philistines, and taken its stand in the noble galaxy of Whig States, there we trust to remain forever. Read ing Journal. Trom Ike Harruburg Telegraph. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the Court House on Tuesday e vening responding to the nomination of Gen. Irvin. which was ably addressed by the Hon. John J. Pearson, Hon. E. Joy Morris, and others. Another meeting was held at the same place on Wednesday evening, which was most effectually as well as ably addressed by the Hon. James Cooper, A. J. Ogle, lion. R. T. Conrad, Hon. Charles Gibbons, and Michael Dan Magehan, Esq. The most unbounded enthusiasm prevailed with the mass present; the speeches were the ablest and most effec tive that were ever hsard within the walls of the Court House. All were listened to with the most absorbing attention, as well as cheered with the most rapturous applause. When ail spoke so well it would be invid:ous to select for especial praise, Dut we rr.sy be allowed to say that the speech of Mr. Gibbons would have done honor to any head which a dorns that great body of talent and learn ing, the Senate of the United States. The clarion voice, strong argument, ready wit and appropriate stories of Mr. Oole, excited the liveliest enthusiasm. And the concluding speech of Mr. Mage han, original in all its parts as well as ir tesistablc in wit and satire put the crowd ed audience into tumultuous myrth that -continued long after he look his seat, and lasted them, we have no doubt, to their homes. The meeting broke np in the highest glee and most cordial good feeling. The Iron? Business in Columbia coun ty, is in a very flourishing condition.

JAMES IRVTN, the "Popular Con gressman" of Centre county. The mere suggestion of his name in connection with the Gubernatorial nomination, was greet ed with a burst cf enthusiasm from the centre to the circumference of the Com monwealth, indicative fa personal and political popularity unequalled by that of any other man in the Whig ranks; and his nomination, by a large majority, is ev idence that he will be elected by an over whelming majority. Gen IRVIN is just such a man as the gallant Whigs of Penn sylvania will glory in electing to the high i est m tneirjjilt He does not come be fore the people as the nominee of a cor- j rupt faction, but as the favorite , candidate of the PEOPLE ! His name has been ushered forth by their spontaneous voice. No workings of secret or corruptcliques, r interested factions, were instrumental in placing him to the enviable position he now occupies. He owes it to the un bought, unsolicited impulses of a generous people, who are ever willing to reward those who exhibit a disposition to serve them faithfully. They know the man, and know too, that he has the good of the Commonwealth at hecrl, and would labor with untiring devotion to promote her ho nor and glory, and advance the happiness and prosperity of her citizens. Few men have a more firm hold upon the affections of the people, than the deservedly "popu lar Congressman" of old Centre. His no mination will be hailed with joyous ac clamations throughout the entire State, and stir, like a trumpet blast, the blood in every Whig heart. He is emphatical ly the man of the times, the man for the rEO?LE,and the man for VICTORY!" The people have willed his election, and we now predict, tint when the golden orb of day shall have sunk beneath the west ern horizon, on the 2nd Tuesday of Oct. next, Pennsylvania will stand "redeemed regeneroted and' disenthralled" from the withering, blighting influences of Loco focoism. Gen. JAMES IRVIN will occupy the Gubernatorial chair, and the Whig banner will float in triumph from the Capitol of the Keystone State. Har. Intel. GENT. JAMES IRVIN. This gentleman now stands before the people of Pennsylvania as the Democratic hig nominee for the onice of Governor. After a long agitation of the question of j who shall be the W hig candidate, a large majority ot the delegates elected by the people decided in his favor, and his name will henceforth be inscribed upon the Whig banner, in iis onward march to vie- tory. Gen. Irvin is extensively known over the Commonwealth, as a man eminently worthy of the confidence and support of the whijrs, and of all others who regard the prosperity and welfare of the Com monwealih. He needs no eulogimn at our hands; his public acts and private vir- U V J If 111 W.ai 1JU l HUB LSIfl 1I VI lUViOlil i and in all the relations of life he is only filo tuill Kif Inst rvAr nrinnT nriliticm known lo be honored. He stands before the people a pure and an unsullied Patriot, whose highest ambition is to mer it their regard, and whose greatest glory is the welfare of his country With such a man as their leader the Whigs of Pennsylvania, and of the Union mav calculate with great propriety and certainty upon seeing the Executive chair of this Slate filled by a Whig on the sec ond Tuesday cl January, 1818. Let every Whiir ' thenlet evcrr man who would serve his country well, come out in support of Gen, James Irvin, the pure patriot, the honest man, and ihe worthy citizen, who would do honor to the Commonwealth, if placed in the Ex ecutive Chair. Har. lelegraph. CANAL COMMISSIONER. By reference to the proceedings of the btate Convention, it will be seen that JOSEPH W PA'ITON,Esq. ofCumber- land county, has been nominated as the Whig candidate for the office of Canal Commissioner. We congratulate the Whig party, and the people of the State, upon the nomination of Mr. Patton, for a more excellent selection could not have been made. He is well known as a man of fine talents; sterling patriotism and un bending integrity; and his nomination will be received with universal satisfac tion, lie was formerly Superintendent ot the Portage Railroad, and dischaigcd i his duties in a manner that won golden o- pinions trora men ol all parties. He is intimately acquainted with the important duties devolving upon the Canal Board. and if elected, would make an officer of whom the Whig party and the 8iate would have reason to be proud. With such men as Gen. James Power and Jos. W. Patten in the Canal Board, the inter ests cf the Commonwelth would be guar ded with a watchful eye. Hat Intel. Iowa Legislature. We learn from the bt.

REMARKS OF Mr. STEWART, OS THE CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPBIA ' TION BILL." Mr. STEWART, of Pennsylvania, said, as they were now in Committee of the Whole, he presumed he was at liber ty to take the usual latitude allowed to all other gentlemen. He would, therefore, avail himself of the few minutes allowed to him to inquire of the chairman of the Ceramittee on Ways and Means what was the amount of all the appropriations made and to be made during this session? Should the propositions from that com mittee all be agreed to, what would be the total amount appropriated? Wrhile the appropriations amounted to double and morothan double the amount of the ac cruing revenue, gentlemen were going home without adopting any measures to fnrnnh the necessary supplies. We are ' passing here bills to the amount of sixty millions OI UOUJia, auu niiui, I - e .1 ! 1 .....1 Miai'a is vrtnr rf venue? You have authorized the issue of twenty-eight millions of Treasury notes; you have thrown afloat your Trea sury bank paper; and where are your means to redeem it? You , have not a dollar you have created a bank,, a Trea sury bank, without specie! True, sir, you have reported a bill to lay a tax upon tea and coffee, and it is that, and nothing but that. You have, to be sure, put a little sugar, iron, and land graduation into it, as a sweetening to induce Pennsylva nia and Western men to swallow it. Is that your measure to support the Govern ment? Take out the tea and coffee and it will not give you half a million of re venue. He had made a carelul calcula tion; it would give 199,970, and no more; not enough to pay the expenses of Government . four days. He asked the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means whether this was the plan of his party to make appropriations to the amount of sixty millions, and not to pro vide a dollar of additional revenue to meet them? You are crushing the country under an enormous debt, and leave it to the Whigs, as herctoforo, to put the bur dens on the people to discharge it. These are the questions I propose to the chairman of the committee. Your party have got a majority of two-thirds here, and where are your ways and means? In the last war Congress prompt ly doubled the duties1 why do you not do it now, or increase your tariff of 184G twenty-five per cent.? Why not meet the crisis you have created like men Do something, and not insult the country with this poor miserable three million bil this tax on tea and coffee, lake tea and coffee out, and I repeat your bill wil not raise revenue enough to sustain this Government for four days -just three days and a half, and no more. Are we to go on this way, appropriating money to the amount of fifty or sixty millions, and issuing Treasury notes to pay it, withon providing the ways and means of paying the interest on your bank paper? Are you going on with your Treasury bank issues without a dollar of specie in its vaults to redeem it? I want you, sir, to tell the people what it is you propose to do. I call on you to ceme up to vour duty and provide the ways and means for carrying on your war. iiut no, you arc afraid to vote a dollar of taxes; vou are afraid to pass even this pitiful bill to tax tea and coffee. The power is with you; the Whigs can do nothing; you have got here two to one against us; I am for hol ding you up to vour responsibility. Mr. HOLMES. Will you vote to tax tea and coffee? Mr. blrwAitr. lean give you a bill, sir, to raise forty millions, and at the same time to do good to the country, by a modification of the tariff of 1812: in- l .... . creasing the duties on luxuries and exten- ding it to a portion of the free list, in- creasing some of the duties for protection and making them specific. This was the Whig plan. Let them carry it out, and it would give you ample revenue and give prosperity to tho whole country." Mr. HOLMES. I ask, will you tax tea and coffee? Mr. STEWART. Never, to prop and bolster up your miserable British tariff of 1846. No, sir, never. But, sir, adopt a proper bill for revenue and protection a genuine American tarin and then it it didjnot give revenue enough for all the ne cessary wants of Government, he might be induced to embrace tea and coffee, but not till then. But go on, ircntlcmen, the power is in your own hands. You have two to one here. Carry out your mea sures. Take the duty off brandy and spirits, as you have done to ihe amount of $432,000, and put it on tea and coffee; break down protection, destroy the natio- n.al induslry., you have done, by redu cing the duties nine millions on five arti cles, namelv: iron and its manufactures; cottons, woollens, silks, and sugar. Sir, add spirits and salt, and the reduction of duties on thece seven articles amount to ten millions one hundred and fifty theu- sand dollars. Do this, and ihen tax tea and coffee! Go on with vour system of destruction, war and all. Go on, but remember the people will hold you re sponsible. 1 NEW POSTAGE LAW. The last Locofoco Congress passed a law repealing the provisions of the late law, with regard to the carrying of news papers free of postage under thirty miles. Hereafter they are to be charged one cent for any distance within the State where printed, and one and a half cent for any distance over one hundred miles, . if out of the State. All transient newspapers sent by mail, three cents each. Two Quaker sisters. Hannah Gillnsnv and Lucy Elkinton, who have for many DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TO- ; WANDA: . ; Bradford Co. Twenty Houses Destroyed. -We take the following account of a destruc tive fire atTowanda,on Friday last, from the Reporter of that place. - One of the most awful and destructive conflagrations occurred in our borough to-day that eter visited a town of equal extent and population. More than twen ty buildings arc laid waste," in the fairest and most business portions of the town. The fire originated in the roof of a build ing occupied" as a store by N. N. Betts, and in a very few moments communica ted with the contiguous buildings on ei ther side. The large three story store owned and occupied by the Messrs.Mon taynes the Clareraont House and adja cent buildings, and the Court House, were soon enveloped in one sheet of fl-unes. In less than two hours, more than twen ty buildings were consumed by the insa tiate element. Every building on the south side of the public square, and east side of Main street as far down as M. C. Arnout's brick house was destroyed. The beauti ful Brick Block on the west side of Main street was several times on fire, but ulti mately saved through the almost superhu man exertion of our citizens. The Bridge was at one time considered in the most imminent danger, the roof being on fire in several places. " . The wind blew from the Northwest, which threw the force of the blaze partly toward the river, and was a fortunate cir cumstance, for had the fire crossed Main street, Heaven only knows where it could have been stopped. - We will not pretend to estimate the loss but it cannot be less than GO or $S0,G00. More than twenty-five families have, by this calamity, been left houseless, and many have lost all they possessed. THE CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION. We were favored yesterday with the perusal of a letter written by an officer in the command of Col. Cooke, who is at the head of the Mormon battalion on its way to California. This letter is dated on the 24th of November, at Las Playas, Sonora. The writer says: We are now about 350 miles from Santa Fe, on our way to California. So far we have been successful in finding a good road, that may be cwnsidcred a natural one, for we have had but little work to do. We find wa ter sca-ce,and prospects atill wo;sc ahead, though I am in hope we shall not suffer. The grass for our animals is very fine. We have crossed several high mountains, or rather passed through them, without difficulty, and have suffered but little from cold. Our course has been further south than we wished to follow, but it was ne cessary on account of water. We are a bout fifty miles north-west of Yraras, so by referring to the map, you can see our present position. From here, we go to San Bernardino, and thence to the Rio San Pedro, and down that, to the Gala; from thence, down that river to the Gulf of California, and thence across to San Diego, and tip the coast lo Monterey. There our journey westward will be end ed. We will require at least seventy days yet to perform the trip, for our animals must necessarily fail, if wc attempt to push them. They are our only hope, and it behoves us to favor them in every possible way. This is a wild country, & too far from home ever to be seltled by white men. The health of the command is good in fact, the air is too pure to have desease of any kind generated in it. This will be taken to Santa Fe by a Mex ican, who was found trading here with the Indians. . This letter must put to rest a report which had found some believers here, that Capt. Cooke's command had been cap tured by the Mexicans, it is the latest intelligence from that quarter. St. Louis Republican, March 9. BREVET APPOINTMENTS. FROM THE "UNION." We understand that many Brevets were conferred by tie President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, the last evening of its session, and that the official general order for publishing ihe same is in a course of preparation.
