for president of the UNI
TED STATES IN 1848.
GEN'L. ZACHARY TAYLOR.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
HON. ANDREW STEWART.
Suljecl to the decision of a National Convention.
County Meeting.
The Democratic Antimasons &, Whigs
of Somerset County arc requested to
meet in the Court House in Somerset on
Tuesday' evening of Court week, (August
31st) to respond to the nominations made
by the County Convention, and to adopt
Htirli measures as may be deemed neces
sary to insure the triumph of their prin
ciples and the election of their candidates
at the approaching election.
By order of tho
COUNTY COMMITTEE.
THE CALL.
We invito attention to the call of the
Whig and Antimasonic County Commit
tee for a meeting at the Court House, on
Tuesday of the ensuing Court week.
It is time that'. the Whigs and Antima
sons of this county bestir themselves and
prepare for the ejection which is rapidly
approaching, and we are therefore pleas
ed to see the County Committee move in
the mailer. Loeofocoism, though appa
rently resting on its oars, is nevertheless
alive to the importance of bringing ouj
its forces with a view of giving old Shunk
as strong a vote as it possibly cau, and
hence it is not to be presumed that the c
lection in this county will be suffered to
0 by default, as appearances at present
would seem indicate. Its plans will pro
Lably be developed ere long, and it is a duty
w hich the Whigs and Antimasons owe to
themselves and their cause lobe prepared
for whatever ''tricks" their opponents may
attempt to play ofl'. Hence the policy of
fielding a county. meeting, both to give an
expression of sentiment and to provide
tor a more complete organization, so that
there may no diversions be made from
our ranks.
THE rROSrjSCT OF FEACE.
Our latest intelligence from Mexico is
no more definite in regard to the prospect
of peace than were the accounts previous
ly received. One report has it that com
missioners were appointed by the .Mexi
can Coverment to enter into negotiations
with Mr. Trist, but this needs confirma
tion before it can be relied on, and it will
be teen by some extracts in another part
of this paper that the New Orleans edi
tors seem to doubt its correctness. Nei
ther have we anything certain in regard
to the movements of General Scott. At
last accounts he was wailing for reinforce
ments to enable him to make a successful
attack upon the City of Mexico, and in
case he received them at the time expect
ed and the Mexican Government should
have declined negotiations, it is possible
that by this time he has established his
head-quarters in the "Halls of the Monte
zumas." In any event, wc may expect
shortly to receive intelligence of a more
definite character than that which is in
our possession. Gen. Taylor, it would
scorn from all the information that has
been received from his line of operations,
is destitute of such means as arc indis
pensable to the further prosecution of the
war in that direction, though it is said he
will soon receive an acquisition of for
ces. REGULAR TICKETS.
It is the practice in nearly all the coun
ties of the State for each political party
to present a regular county ticket; and it
is in this way alone, that the strength of
parties can be fairly tested. The Loco
foco party understand this matter peifect
ly well, and in every county where they
are in the majority or where parties are
pretty equally balanced, they form their
tickets regularly every year. It is only
in some of those counties where they are
in a hopeless minority, as in Somerset,
for instance, that they do not follow up
the practice and talk much and learnedly
about the right of every man "running on
his own hook," and of the "unfairness of
making nominations." Their object,
however, is too apparent to be mistaken.
They expect to create a division in the
ranks of the Whig and Antimasonic par
ty, and then elect Locofocos. Hut we
opine they'll find very few persons, if
any, that arc "green" enough to be caught
in such a trap.
The editor of the Portsmouth (Ohio)
Tribune, who was captain of a company
in the 1st Ohio regimeut, speaking of
General Taylor's letter to the Cincinnati
Signal, says : -
"It is an established fact that General
Talor u a Whig, out and out; and cer
'.uuly his IrienJs would not (or sl.ould
not at least) object to receiving a little as
ruiiiiiT. from the Looofoccs in placing
lu.n v'. '.he head of cur Government."
TROM THE N. O. DA1LT NATIONAL.
Important Withheld Corres
pondence. .
Relating to the Causes" that Led to
the War. -
The Whigs, throughout this Mexican
War, have contended that it might have
been honorably avoided. They have ne
ver believed that our relations 'with Mexi
co were: as critical as they were with
England on the Oregon question. It has
been charged upon the Administration,
that it made the war for political purpo
ses, under the impression that a single
battle would awe the Mexicans into sub
mission, procure an immense acquisition
of Territory, and that hostilities would
last h few weeks, then be ended in a blaze
of glory. Matters have turned out dif
ferently, and the Administration that
would not consult Congrecs about begin
ning the war, has evidently got to'do it,
about ending it. The people, sober min
ded and patriotic, are beginning to enquire
into particulars, and show a dispositiou,
now that the novelty of the war has pas
sed away, to learn who is responsible for
its commencement, and also if it is found
that it was unnecessary, to punish the tri
flcrs with the Constitution.
We venture to asseat, that the war was
unnecessary, even to accomplish the most
grasping views of the Administration, re
lative lo Mexican territory. Why it was
begun, will be shown in due time. To
come at the facts, we propose the follow
ing questions to Mr. Buchanan, which
wc wish he would answer affirmatively
or negatively. The Union should attend
lo our questions, as there is not more be
hind them, than the Union can know,
if it will examine all the papers of the
Secretary of State, relative lo our rela
tions with Mexico, received at Washing
ton just before the battles of the 8th and
fith of May, 181G.
Serious Qcstlons for Mr, Bucha
nan to . insurer.
1st. Were you not, as well as Mr.
Folk, informed by letters that if General
Taylor moved his forces and took a posi
tion opposite Matamoros, that a collision
would take place, and were not these let
ters from such a source; as you could not
and did not (as subsequent events prove)
discredit them? Have you not thksm
LETTERS ON FILE AMONG THE rRIVATE I'A
IKKS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE ? and
did you not refuse last winter to give co
pies of them ?
2d. Were you not shown the corres
pondence of Gen. Arista with a gentle-
man ol high standing in me unucu ouics,
one who had filled an important diploma
tic office in Mexico, in which General A
rista stated that the Government of the
United States could get by treaty
or purchase to the line of the Rio
Grande I
3d. Were you not shown a note of
Gen. Arista's in which he stated that if
the Government ot the United States ac
quired title by purchase or treaty to the
Ro Grande, that the provinces of Ta
maulipas, St. Leon, and Zacatecas, would
unite themselves with Texas, and
come into the confederacy of the u
nitkd States ! Is not the letter alluded
to above, on file in your department?
4th. Were you not informed by an
expnss direct from the camp of General
Arista, that the Government of Mexico
would receive a Commissioner , to settle
the boundary question, but would not re
ceive a Minister, and was not Mr. Slidell
sent off on his useless errand after you
received the express from Arista's camp !
Have you not got the letter sent by that
express in your possession and others,
subsequently writteu, by the same hand
from New Orleans ? " .
5th. Did you not have several private
interviews in Washington, with the gen
tleman who sent the express from Arista's
camp, in which you thanked him in be
half of the - United States, for the servi
ces he had rendered the government, and
did you not, as well as Mr. Polk, entire
ly approve of his views ? and did you
not endeavor to detain him in Washing-
ton, to avail yourself of his presence and
information ?
6th. Did you not, at a Cabinet Coun
cil, lay before the members the whole
correspondence, and did you not concur
with Hon. R. J. Walker, and other mem
bers (the Hon. John Y. Mason dissent
ing) THAT THE TIME FOR AGGRESSIVE MEA
SURES on the part of the United Stales
had arrived; and did not the Hon. R. J.
Walker, at that meeting, propose a plan
to subjugate Mexico with a standing
ARMY OF 5,000 MEN?
7th. Have you not been urged by
men in and out of power, to produce the
letters alluded to above, to relieve yoa of
the charge of acting with duplicity to
wards Mr. Polk, and of pretending igno
rance of the facts contained in the corrcs-
ponce we have called for ?
The visit of President Folk to New
York, says the Tribune, bled the munici
pal treasury to the tune of four thousand
dollars! The bills of the Astor House
were $1,250. This is paying pretty dear
for the whistle.
A merchant recently disappeared in N.
Orleans; and what is singular, $30,000 of
borrowed money disappeared at the same
time! The coincidence is set down as
very remarkable. !
We see it stated, that General Taylor,
will write no more letters or answers to
inquiries relative to his opinions upon par
ticular subjects of State policy.
BENEFITS OF WHIG LEGISLA
TION. important to tax payers.
The Whig party is emphaticaUy he
REFORM PARTY, and whenever thev
have been in power in this State, have de
creased the public debt, and lessened the
grievous taxation inflicted upon the peo
ple by Locofoco mismanagement and ex
travagance. During the session of the
last WHIG LEGISLATURE, which
lasted only SEVENTY-ONE DAYS, a
greater amount of important business was
transacted, at a cost of TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS, than
was done by the preceding Ijocofoco
Legislature of one' hundred and six days!
This is a matter of great importance to
the poor and industrial classes of Penn
sylvania, who for vears have been sufier-
j ing from the extravagance aud mal-admin-
istration ot Federal Loeofocoism, and
who arc now burdened with unjust and
onerous LOCOFOCO TAXATION.
The election of JAMES M. POWER,
Esq., the honest aud efficient Whig mem
ber of the Canal Hoard, has also resulted
beneficially to the State. Under the Argus-eye
of this faithful guardian of the
public interests, numerous locofoco frauds
have already been delected and exposed
the system of plunder so long practised
successfully by the Iocolbcos, arrested
to a considerable extent and thousands
of dollars saved to the State, which wn'ufd
otherwise have gone lo swell the cotters
ol party favorites."
Wc have shown the People what
WHIG LEGISLATION tud WHIG
ECONOMY can do. All that is want
ing to raise Pennsylvania from her pres
ent prostrate condition, and elevate her to
a more lofty position among the Com
monwealths of the Nation than she has
ever yet occupied, is the ascendancy of
those pure Republican principles which
the Whig party have so long and nobly
advocated. The last legislature was, as
wc predicted it would be, a short, eco
nomical, WORKING SESSION, such
as the condition of the Commonwealth
and the interests of the People demanded.
Repeated undignified attempts were made
by the Locofoco minority to retard the
progress of business and protract the
session, for the purpose of affording them
an opportunity of plundering the People
to a still greater extent. The-Whigs,
however, true to the interests of the State
and their constituents, indignantly frown
ed down all such proceedings, and moved
steadily forward in the discharge of their
duty, determined to despatch ihe business
in as short a space of time, aud with as
little expense as possible. And there
suit was, that they done more business
than the preceding l,ocofoco Lcgislature
udiouriied thirtv-six davs sooner and
saved the People the sum of not less than
TWENTY THOUSAND. DOLLARS.
Such are the beneficial results flowing
from Whig Legislation and Whig econo
my ; and if the tax-oppressed People of
Pennsylvania know their own interests,
they will at once abandon the Free Trade
Locofoco plunder party, and rally round
the Whig standard upon the ample folds
of which is inscribed "ECONOM Y. RE
TRENCHMENT AND REFORM
Give us a Whig Legislature, a Whig Ca
nal Hoard, and a Whig Administration
that will faithfully carry out Whig prin
ciples, and the bright sunshine of pros
perity will soon disperse the murky clouds
of Loeofocoism that now darken the po
litical horizon, threatening to break in de
vastating fury upon our ancient Com
monwealth. Pennsylvania must he re
deemed next fall die interests of the
State imperatively dcinand it and it the
Whigs do their whole duty, it can be
done. Penn. Int.
LEAVING A SINKING SHIP.
TheSunbury American, a locofoco pa
per of "credit and circulation and,
which has heretofore at all times, stood
up for "regular nominations, and to the
rack" for the party "fodder or no fodder;"
after having placed at the head of its col
umns, the names of Shunk and IjONg
streth, in obedience to its professions in
that respect, has within the last two
weeks hauled down "that same flag and
now goes into the political contest uncom
mitted. It will be recollected, that the
American, during the canvass of 1814
was a bold advocate of the doctrines
shadowed forth in the cabalistic characters
of "Polk, Dallas ai-.d Shunk and the
Democratic taritTof '42." We have no
doubt of its sincerity on that occasion;
but it was humbugged or lied into the be
lief, that Mr. Polk was a friend to the tar
iff of 1812, and that he would not allow
of its repeal as many a good man was
with it. It advocated the true protective
policy of Pennsylvania at that time, and
no doubt believed that the election of
"Polk, Dallas and Shunk would per
petuate the blessings of that tariff" to Penn
sylvania. It was deceived, and learned
too late that it had been made the instru
ment of "grievous wrong.' It still advo
cates the tariff policy of the act of 1842,
and opposes the British tariff act of4G.
Its influence will be felt in 42 tariff demo
cratic wings of the "untcrrincd and har
monious." "Polk's near neighbor' has
not been up that way this year. Penn.
Tel.
The loco focos are exulting over the
unexpected income under the new Tariff.
They say the revenue is "much larger
than any one believed it would be." We
presume Mr. Secretary Walker is some
body; and yet the revenue, for the year is
over five millions below his estimates !

rBIlM Grral Preventive Medicine!
Ji Though Wright's Indian Vegeta
ble Pills have achieved triumph upon tri
umph, in the cure of obstinate cases of
disease, even after they had been entire
ly given up, and after all other remedies
had failed, yet their power of prevention
may be justly esteemed their growing
glory! 'Siorms," it is said, "purify
the air," but storms Jo mist hief also,
and are so far an evil. Were it within
human power to maintain the Electrical
equilibrium between the earth and air.
there wovld be no occasion for storms, I
for the air weuld always be purr.
Sool the human body If kept free
from morbid humors, the anion it regu
lar and healthy. Hut if those humors
are allowed to accumulate, a crisis, or.
in other words, a storm, will arise, which
is always more or less dangerous.
. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are
equally well calculated la prevent the
storm, or in allay it when it comes. . But
prevention is better than cure, besides
being cheaper and Ies troublesome.
The dclar of a day in the commence
ment of riekness has ften proved fatal,
and always renders the case mora diffi
cult to manage. -
Let the sickness be cained by chan
ges of weather, high living, want f ex
ercise, close confinement, fnnctional de
rangement, or anything else, the effect
upon the body is much the same is
equally dangerous, and is removable by
the same means.
Have you a coldf Let it nt ripen in
to Consumption. Are you Dyspeptic!
Beware of the hypochondria. Two
Pills taken every other night on an emp
ty stomach, for a sWort lime, will, in nine
caes out nf ten, cure the Dyspepsia,
and thereby drive away the legion of
'devils blue." For fle;dche, no me
dicine is superior to f frig fit's Indian
fegelaMe Pills. Costivenets, that pro
liQc mother of disease, is caused by a
torpid state of the liver, whieh these
Pills effectually cures. By striking at
the root of disease, Wright's Indian Ve
getable Pills prevent all and cure all.
They ean hardly ever be taken amiss, if
tiaeu with common discretion; and we
commend them tnthe use of those who
have not vet tried them.
Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds;
Some are coated with .sugar; others are
made to resemble in outward appearance
the original medicine The safest course
is, to purchase from the regular agents
only, one or more of whom may be
found in every village & town in the state.
