"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

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 WHIG AND TARIFF CANDI
DATE FOR GOVERNOR.
We congratulate the Whig citizens of
the Keystone State, upon the nomination
of their favorite candidate . for Governor,
Gen. 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.

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

printed, and one and a half cent for any
distance over one hundred miles, . if out

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
