FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNI
TED STATES IN 1818.
GENl. ZACHARY TAYLOR,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
RON. ANDREW STEWART,
Sitljut In Hit ihxhion rf a National Convention.
County Meeting.
The Democratic Antimasons & Whigs
of Somerset County are 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
such measures as may be deemed neces
sary to insure the triumph of their pnn
ciples and tlie election of their candidates
at the approaching election.
By order of the
COUNTY COMMITTEE.
ISScn:e uf the Locofoeo editors, as
a lastrcsoi"t to defeat Gen. Irvin, are pub
lishing a letter from a Mr. Flanigan, a
f us fended .Catholic clergyman, to Gen.
M.arklc. m 1814, infl.which the writer
f peaks very highly of Gen'Irvin'i'and
says the General's election to Congress
was secured by the votes of the Caiho-j
lies, influenced by him, the said Flanigan.
We understood at the time the letter was
lirst published in 1844, that the represen-
lauons made or tne writer, in so lar as
they related to Gen. Irvin, were pronunc-
cd untrue by those acquainted with the
facts; but whether they be true or false,
wc cannot comprehend how they could
militate against Gen. Irvin. If true, they
would only go to prove that all classes of
men who are acquainted with Gen. Irvin
think well of him. and if untrue, then, of
course, they have no application to him.
Iu anv event, the Catholics throughout
the State will not thank the Locofoeo edi
tors for bringing up a matter implicating
prejudicing ouicrs againsi mem as rrcu
gious denomination with a view of influ
encing the pending election. It is a base I
electioneering scheme, which, like all!
such schemes, must fail of accomplising
its object.

umphant, The City ofJUcxico

Our readers will rejoice with us in the
intelligence of the eapluro of the city of
Mexico by our army under Gen. Scott
The accounts which wc publish to-day
rive none ol the details, but niav. we
- ii 11 i .1 . r
think, be relied on as regards the fact of I
the city having been taken. This event
must, if anything will, lead to a speedy
peace between the two nations, Gen.
Scott has certainly won unfading laurels
since assuming the command in Mexico,
having taken every town, city and fortress
that he has assailed. His conduct as a
military commander is equalled only by
that of Gen. Taylor, whilst the succes
ses that have attended the eflbrts of each
are unequalled in the history of war.
The Whigs of Westmoreland
have put in nomination the following
ticket :
Assembly. William Pinkcrton, John
Cay, Junes Paul.
Commissioner. John Haymaker.

The People remember the VOTE OF

"Whig General," incompetent to com

The People remember that the Federal
President in his message announcing the
victories jn Mexico purposely and poin
tedly omitted to mention the name of
Gen Taylor. .
The People remember that the Federal
ists have extend AID AND COMFORT !
to the enemy, by doinir all thev could to
prevent ihe brillhnt achievemrnts of old
ROUGH AND READY and bring dis-.
grace upon the National flag.
1 lie People remember that while old
ROUGH AND READY has been sav-
ing
vrith
the Administration from disgrace, ' 1
the rer'3tn
knowledge that it ; was
straining every nerve to BREAK HIM
DOWN, and while he has been winning
brillhnt victories for his country the Fed
eral President and the Federalists who
follow in his train, have been rendering
"AID AND COMFORT TO THE EN
EMY," not 'only in sending Santa Al
monte and a score of other Mexican Ge
nerals back from banishment into Mexico,
but in WITHDRAWING THE BEST
HALF OF TAYLOR'S COMMAND
from him, whereby Santa Anna, Mr.
Polk's ally, could meet and did meet old
"Rough and. Ready" with four times his
number of troops!
The People remember that the Feder
alists are opposed to Protection of Amer
ican Industry; and in favor of FREE
TRADE and DIRECT TAXATION.
The People remember that the Feder
alists in 184 4 wickedly and wilfully DIv
CEIVED them by pretending friendship
for the Protective system, and shouting
for "Polk, Dallas, Siiunk and the Ta
rief of ISEtf. and that no sooner
were they in power than they violated
their solemn promises to the People, and
forced the present obnoxious BRITISH
rARII r upon the country.
The People remember that the Federal
party of the present day are the lineal
descendants of the TORIES OF THE
REVOLUTION.
The People remember that during the
last War- the Federalists were the BRIT
ISH PARTY, and that James Buchanan,
one of the leaders of the federal party
OPPOSED & DENOUNCED THE
DEMOCRATIC WAR ADMINIS
TRATION . OF MIL MADISON, and
declered that if he had a drop of Demo
cratic blood in his veins he would let it
out!
The People remember that the Federal
President who has furnished AID AND
COMFORT to the enemy, bv passing
Santa Anna back to Mexico, is the des
cendant of one of the TORIES OF THE
REVOLUTION.
. The People remember" that the Feder
alists are the enemies of the industrial
classes, and are in favor of REDUCING
THE WAGES OF AMERICAN
WORKINGM EN, and placing them up
on a level with the paupers of Europe.
The People remember that the doctrine
of the Federalists is to TAKE CARE
OF THE RICH, and let the poor take
care of themselves.
The People remember that the Federal
President is responsible for the loss of
the gallant spirits who fell upon the battle
fields of Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo and
Vera Cruz, and they will not permit him
to wiggle out of the responsibility. He
it was who gave the miserable, intriguc-
ing wretch Santa Anna, a FREE PASS
into Mexico lo rally the Mexican army,
and give it vitallity and strength. .But
for that PASSPORT, these batiles would
not have taken place.
The People remember that the Federal
candidate for Governor, "old Shunk '
was a prominent participant in the Grand
TARIFF SWINDLE of 1844 that he
aided in the DECEPTIGN that was
practised upon the people, by pretend
ing to be in favor of the Tariff of 1842
and the fact of his now being the can
didate of the partv thet passed the pre
sent odious BRITISH TARIFF, and ad
vocates that obnoxious Locofoeo measure,
a TAX UPON TEA AND COFFEE,
is a striking acknowledgment of the de
ception, and renders him unworthy the
confidence and support of the friends of
Protection in Pennsylvania.
The People remember that the Federal
candidate for Governor has been in oflice
for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, and re
ceived from the public reasurv more than
SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
for his services, and they do not feel dis
posed to give the old pap-sucker an op
portunity of pocketing NINE THOU
SAND DOLLARS MORE of the public
money.
The People remember that the Federal
candidate for Governor charged the enor
mous sum of ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLARS (or FIVE HAYS
services as Clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives being just THIRTY DOL
LARS A DAY or ten limes as much as
the law entitled him to. '
The People remember that the Federal
candidate for Governor, while Superin
tendent of Common Schools in 1810-41,
SWINDLED THE STATE OUT OF
$0,(5 C G, and put it inta the pockets of
his political associates. We have the
"documents" to prove it. '
The People WILL REMEMBER all
these things, and will NEVER AGAIN
CONFER POWER ON THE FEDE
RALISTS.
Death of George Rapp. The death
of this eccentric man has come at last.
George Rapp died at Economy on. the
9lh instant, at the advanced age of nearly
92 years. Nearly half of this time Rapp
was the moving spirit of the Economy
Association, and to the end of his life had
the command and respect of his asso
ciates. His influence was of no common
kind, and exerted as :t was, produced no
common result. What the effect of the
death may be with the community among
whom he presided, remains to be seen.
The Economy Association has long been
the subject of the scoffs and jeers of ma
ny who have sought rather to be curious
than well informed in regard to its char
acter. ' Without much direct knowledge
in tegard to Rapp and his associates, we
venture the opinion that this community
was conducted with more order and so
briety, more industry and more economy
than many communities claiming to be
much hotter than this. Pitt. Gaz.

Youghiogheny navigation Coni-
panyv
As the time approaches (the 23d inst.
for opening books for receiving subscrip
tions to the stock of the Youghiogheny
Navigation Company, it is desirable that
full information be laid before die public,
calculated to show the importance of the
work and the advantages ibat may be ex
pected to follow from its construction, lo
the whole district of country through
which it will pass and also to this city.
Of the various kinds of improvements
auupicu m muuerii uiuia iu idvimaie iraoc
ft a. 1 1
ana travel, turnpikes, canais railroad, and
that by dams and locks the latter has in
most respects, greatly the advantage; in
deed its only competitor is the rail road
and this has the preference for the travel
ler, only on account of speed. -
The system of locks and dams affords
all the advantage of Steam Navigation,
which even in point of speed does not fall
short of that of rail roads. The cost
of original construction is far less than
that ol any other kind of public improve
ment. It is a remarkable fact that the
system of dams and locks can be comple
ted for any number of miles along a river
for less than the expense of making a
common turnpike the same number of
miles.
' The expense of keeping up an im
provement of this kind is a mere fraction
compared with that of rail roads. In
deed a large share of the income of rail
roads is expended annually in repairs, re
laying rails, locomotives, cars, wages of
Engineers, Agents, &c. while the rents
from water power alone will go far to meet
this expense.
The improvement of the Youghiogheny
river by dams and locks will open up a
district of country equal to any other in
Western Pennsylvania inj agricultural
riches, and not surpassed even by the Al
legheny region in coal, iron and lumber.
The lower part of the river particularly
abounds in coal of the very best quality
and the upper in iron ore and lumber, as
well as excellent coal.
The opening up of a new avenue by
which these staple articles can be brought
cheaply to our market will add much to
the wealth and prosperity of our city.
It will also materially swell the business
ami profits of ihe Monongahela Naviga
tion Improvement to which it will be
come at onec an important feeder and on
their account it is entitled to liberal , aid
from the Stockholders of that Company.
West Newton which is now acorn-
ft
paratively obscure village would soon be
come an important town, and as the dis
tance by that place and Somerset from
Pittsburgh to Cumberland is about thirty
miles shorter than by Brownsville, a d; i y
line of boats and stages would in all prob
ability soon divert a large share of travel
to that route.
McKeesport, with the advantages which
this improvement would afford for manu
factures in I'arious departments, as iron,
glass, cotton, wool, &c, and connected,
as she is, almost as a suburb with Pitts
burgh, would . in a few years, rind her
beautiful plain covered with factories and
comfortable dwelling houses, and all the
odier evidences of wealth and prosperity.
If the improvement of the Youghio
gheny, by dams and locks, can be carried
up lo the foot of Laurel Hill, the strong
est inducement will be held out to ths
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to
rouse from their long and lethargic state
of inactivity, and make a vigorous effort
to carry out the original and magniflcicnt
design of that Company the union of
ihe waters of the Atlantic, and those of
the Ohio river, at Pittsburgh, by a canal
of larger dimensions, and greater capacity
for business, than any other in the coun
try. It seems to be generally forgotten, that
twenty years ago, and before the Penn
sylvania canal was constructed, this was
the great national improvement project of
the day that surveys of the whole line
by Potomac, Wills Creek, Castleman,s
river, and the Youghiogheny, were made
by engineers under the direction of the
United States Government that a canal
sixty feet wide, and six feet deep, with an
abundant supply of water, was declared
entirely practicable, at a cost only about
ouo half the sum that will be required to
complete Dr. McLanc's two per cent rail
road of tunnels and viaducts from Cum
berland to Wheeling and that lhc States
of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania,
united in giving a charter, under which
the company have, through many trials
and difficulties, completed the work near
ly to Cumberland.
Is it not possible that the extension of
slcam navigation to the baseof the Laurel
Hill, on the very route designated, which
in all probability, will be completed be
fore many years, will lead to the ultimate
completion of this truly great and nation
al work? -"
Whether this suggestion be entitled to
any weight or not, the local iutcrcsls a
long lhc line, and the business and trade
which it will immediately create, will
warrant, and richly repay, all the expen
diture necessary to make the improve
ment authorized by the charter of the
Youghiogheny Navigation Company. It
is hoped, therefore, lhat all will assist in
contributing moro or less, as their means
and engagements will warrant, to com
plete this important object. S.

HE Great Preventive Medicine!
Though Wright's Indian Vereta
b!e Pills have achieved triumph upon iri
umph, in the cure of obstinate cases o
disease, even afier thev had been entire
ly given up, and after all ether remedies
had failed, yet their power of prevention
may be justly esteemed their growing
glory ! 'Storms," it is said, "purify
the air, but storms Uo mischief also
and are so far an evil. Were it within
human power to maintain the Electrical
equilibrium between the earth and air,
there would be no occssion for storms,
for the air would always be pure.
So of the human body. If kept free
Horn morbid humors, the action is rego
lar and healthy. But 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 to prevent the
storm, or to allay it when it comes. But
prevention is better than cure, besh'es
being cheaper and less troublesome.
The delay of a day mi the commence
ment of sickness has often proved fatal,
and always renders ihe case more diffi
cult to manage.
Let the sickness be caused by chan
ges of weaiher, high living, want of ex
ercise, close confinement, functional 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 cold? Let it not ripen in
to Consumption. Are you Pyspepiic?
Beware of the hypochondria. Two
Pills taken em-v other night on an emp
ty stomach, for a short timp, will, in nine
cases out of ten, cure the Dyspepsia,
and thereby drive away the legion of
' devils blue. ror Headache, no me
dicine is superior to ! fright's Indian
Vegetable Pills. Costiveness, thai pro
lific mother of disease, is caused by a
torpid state of the liver, whieh these
Pills effcciually cures. By striking at
the mot of disease, Wright's Indian Ve
getable Pills nrevent all and cure all.
They can hardly ever be taken amiss, if
useu with common discretion; and we
commend them to lhc 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.
