JOSEPH V.:PATTON","':
OF C I M Tl K R L A X D COUNTY.
rOur Loco Foco neighbors in this
ecu at v appear to have been again seized
with one of their periodic attacks of vir
tuous indignation at the enormity of
Yiiiir party nominations. As usual, in
litis case, their honesty is rather limited
j;) iu vision and by no means comprehen
sive in its embrace. They cannot pos
fiUv manage to see beyend the limits of
.Somerset county. In every county ad
ioiaing it, nominations are regularly made
for cvfrv county office from the highest
to the Uvcst,aaJ not a word of objec
tion is made. Why i3 this? How is it
that :". th'u holy hoiror f theirs evapor
ates a' they approach the county lines
tyd is e.ntireiy dissipated by the time it
reachis tfisin. It' must be that the old
:.Jjgc is true, "the case being; altered it
; iters the case." Those are all Loco Fo
co counties. "Democracy has "prosper
ed' so far as to be released from 11 obli
gation to be consistent or just. Those
old antiquated virtues have no comeli
ness in their eyes, unless they can gain
power by them. Then indeed their zeaj
ii so strong as to excite admiration.
The objection urged against the system
13 peculiarly unfortunate for these gentle
men, namclv, l!i3t two delegates from)
each township cannot fully represent the
people. How then could the convention
which nominated Gov. Shunk, represent
tndy the people of this State, composed
S3 it was, of only one, two, or three from
rch county, or even one for two or three
counties according to population. Or
how do these same two from each town-
!i:r in Loco Foco counties
manage to
represent them fairly and fully? Will
these sapient casuists enlighten us.
We arc not prepared to say that lhe
present nominating system is absolutely
free from fault. It is, perhaps, liable to
iibuse, pcrhnps it has been abused. But
there can be no doubt that under existing
-irciimstances, it is freer from objection
than any other that has been devised; and
that it the people themselves attend to
the matter as they ought they will be ful
ly served, and faithfully represented.
But there is one reason which at pre
fect is conclusive in its favor, and that is
its universal adoption. If the Loco Fo
cos will nominate in their own strong
counties, they must expect that the
Whigs will in theirs, and if every other
county nominates, why should not Som
erset! WheneverLoco Focos prove their
f incerity by abandoning it in their own
ctron counties, they may ask us to do it
in ours. It will then be lime enough to
enquire into the'mcrits and demerits of the
system. At present the Whigs owe it to
themselves and to the country- to organ
ize, and use the power which is justly
thiirs.
LOCOFOCO CONSISTENCY.
It cannot escape the notice of the most
csii'.ul observer that the Lccofoco party
is ever playing a double game with
reference to a protective tarifl. Pending
important elections, when this question
is generally most r.gitatcd, they always
aver that they are tariff men; but no soon
er are the elections over than they endeavor
to prove that a protective tariff is injuri
ous to the ccun'.ry. They are afraid to
encounter public opinion on the subject in
times of high excitement, when the peo
ple are alive toils importance, bet seize
upon every intervening calm to dissemi
nate their pernicious principles. In
IS If, pending the Presidential election,
they even went so far as to say that "Polk
was a better Tariff man than Henry Clay!"
hut since Mr. Polk has destroyed the Ta
riff of 1812, they indulge in lengthy argu
ments to show that free-trade is better
t!ian protection. We do not complain of
this, because wc always knew that ther
held free trade notions; hot what we com
plain ofis.that thevdo not always fight un
dcr their own colors, but steal into power
under false pretences professing one thing
whilst soliciting the sufi rages of the people,
practising the contrary when clothed with
authority. V.'e think, however, that they
tire beginning to be pretty well understood
by the people, and that hereafter they will
be less successful iu the practice of their
deceptive tricks.
Sixty .TnrtF.E Lives Lost. A Cas-
t!nc, Maine, correspondent of the Boston
Courier writes that a letter has been re
ceived in that town from St. Peters, Miq,
via Halifax, which stated that on the 20ih
r.lt. the French brig Clarissa was lost, at
the entrance of the harbor of St. Peters,
and sixty three lives lost. The bodies
v7cro nil wached on shore uad buried on
t; ;!.,,.,!
MILITIA TRAININGS.
We attended several militia trainings,
recently, and were more convinced than
ever, by the meagre turn out and the gen
eral inattention to the rules of discipliue,
that these trainings ought to be abolished.
The present militia system is of no prac
tical benefit whatever, and besides is at
tended with heavy expenses. Each com
missioned officer must uniform himself '&
necessarily spend seme time iu the study
of military tactics; the men have to attend
trainings two days in the year or pay a
fine, musicians mnst be employed and re
turns made out by the officers and paid
for. All these tilings are a burden upon
the people. Commissioned ' officers are
allowed, we believe, 3 cents for the name
of each individual enrolled, and then col
lectors must be paid for collecting. the
fines of absentees, and the Inspector must
have his salary. The consequence is,
that a vast expense is thus incurred,
which is paid by the people. The sys
tem does not support itscif; ery often
moneys have to be drawn from the Trea
sury to make up deficits and last year
the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for
this purpose.
. Iow, our opinion is, that a complete
enrolment of all persons subject to mili
tary duty in time of war, could be keot
up for one twentieth the amount that is
expended under the present system, if
training's were altogether abolished and
the duty of enrolling enjoined upon the
township assessors. If these, when ma
king their annual assessments, were to
make out a list also of persons subject to
militia dutv and return it to the County
Commissioners, who could therefrom
make a general return for their respec-
live counties to the Adjutant General, a j without opposition. Also asking protec
complete system of enrolment might be1tio;1 of !ife aml pr0Perl.r- whicl h1( becn
kcpl thout incurring any c pensc
h aever except the amount allowed to the
Assessor; say, one cent for each person
en relied, instead of three cent-?, the a.
mount now paid to officers for that pur
pose. We have thrown out these hints with
a view of drawing public attention to the
subject, persuaded as we are, that the
present militia system is wolully tlefec-
live, and that something ought to be done
for its improvement, whether the plan
we have suggested, or some other and bet
ter, be adopted.
THE POOR HOUSE.
We visited the Poor House one day
last week, and were much pleased with
the arrangements of the establishment.
The present number of paupers is thir
teen only, though the building is sufficient
ly large to accommodate twice that num
ber, and is kept in the best possible order
by the attentive Warden, Mr. Smith,
who seems to leave nothing undone that
can be done to render the inmates com
fortable. THE MARKETS.
Flour is selling in Philadelphia at
68,50, in Baltimore at S8.75, tnd in New i
York at 68,25. $2 is asked for wheat,
but no sales have becn effected at that
price.

vered with killed and wounded. Kings
bury was carried to Jalapa hardly alive.
Volunteers from Georgia and Alabama

Tennessee Regiment.
The surrender of the Capitol of Mexi
co is reported, founded upon the message
by Majr Leonard, at Vera Cruz, from
Gen. Pillow.
It is stated that a despatch; had arrived
from Gen. Scott, giving information that
a Deputation had been received, assuring
him that the city would be surrendered
assented to.
Puebla also had proposed surrender.
Fortifications erected and erecting at the
j Capitol, had been .discontinued, .and the

named Castlebury, Mr. Slaughter and
wife, fcc.
It was thought that thirty would die.
Old Wilkcnson had fled, none of his fam
ily were injured.
I was supposed the negroes were hir
ed lo administer poison in coffee. A dis
appointed suitor it was thought had done
this horrible deed. The disappointed
party was one of the guests. Pii'.s. Gaz.
