SOMERSET HERALD. S O 31 K II S E T, 1 A., TUESDAY, S E PTEM BE R VISIT. FOR PRESIDENf OF THE UNI TED SPATES IN 1813. GEN'L ZACUARY TAYLOR FOR VICE PRESIDENT, HON. ANDREW STEWART; ZuljrrUv the decision of a National Convention IMPROVEMENT OF THE YoiOHIOGHEXY AND THE TCBNPIKE BETWEEN WLST. Newton and Cumberland. Measures arc in progress to improve the nav '.Ration of ihe Youghiogheny so as lo make it safe for steamboats lo ascend as high up as West Newton, ia the expecta tion t!iat the citizens along the turnpike from theace to Cumberland will so im prove that roud as to secure for it the freight and travelbetween the above men tioned points. In case, however, that 'he turnpike is not so improved, . then it is contemplated to extend the navigation as far up the rher as practicable and unite it l.y means of a road with the National road, probably at Petersburgh. The rea der will find in another column a copy of ;i letter from a gentleman in West New ton, setting forth some of the advantages of the contemplated improvement, and to which we refer in the hope that the sug gestion therein will be considered and ac ted upon. , THE MEETINGS. The proceedings of the Whig. Meet ings held at the Court House last week, will be found in to-day's paper. We hardly ever saw a more enthusiastic as semblage. The utmost harmony prevail ed the resolutions were received with applause and adopted unanimously and the sneakers were frequently cheered in a manner that told of the deep interest that , , is felt by the yeomanry of our county in the approaching election. The party was never more firmly united and bent upon success, than it is at the present time and we can safely assure our po litical friends throughout the S:ae that Somerset the "Banner County" will i!o her whole duty at the ensuing election.

' J The "Frosty Sons of Thunder" in Motion!!! Pursuant lo a notice published in the j Whig papers of Somerset, an unusually large and enthusiastic meeting of the Whigs "and Antimasons of the counlv v cvening, 31st August. The meeting was W'lC rifMit q( tho I .m rl llnnrn nil I nooMlt organized by the appointment of the fol lowing officers : SAMUEL ELDER," of Addison, Tres't. Wm.

Alter the organization of the meeting, the following committee was appointed to dratt resolutions, viz : Samuel W. Pear son, Esq., Samuel Murphy, Esq., Dr. M. Berkey, George A. Clarke, Thomas Han na, Esq., William Meyers, Josiah Lieh tenberger, John Ilcmer, Esq., and Daniel Bowman. During the absence of the Committee, Col. J. R. Edie entertained the meeting in a speech replete with sound argument; and after the committee had made their report, excellent speeches were made by j Messrs. Pearson, Kimme', Ogle, Gebhart i and Jost J. Stutzman. The following resolutions were repor ted by the committee and adopted by the meeting unanimously : Resolved, That a large majority of the people of this county, remain as ever true to the glorious principles under whose banner the people of the Union in 1810, by an overwhelming vote, drove the spoi lers from office those only true Demo cratic principles on which our onre sa cred Constitution was based, and by the observance and exercise of which that in estimable chart of our liberties was pre served inviolate, a more perfect union was formed, justice established, domestic tranquility ensured, the common defence provided for, the general welfare promo ted, and the blessings of liberty secured lo the free citizens of our happy republic. Resolved, That we heartily concur Wuh-Presidenl Polk in his description of the blessings eminatin? from our Federal Union, up to the period when he assum ed the Executive chair: "Beneath its " benign sway peace and prosperity prevail. Freed f.om the bi'rdens " and miseries of war, our tnde and 44 intercourse have 'extended through " oat the world. Mind, no longer, tasked 4 in devising means to accomplish or re 44 sisl schemes of ambition, usurpation, 4 or conquest, is devoting itself to man's 44 true interests, and developing his fa " cullies and powers, and the capacity of 44 nature to minister to his enjoyments." But alas ! how are our worst fears of the consequences of his elevation more than realized, and his specious promises falsi fied, when we reflect upon the "war of INVASION,' the "WAR OF TERRITORIAL CON QUEST" as the lory Ingersoil openly con fessed in Congres, in which our misgov erned country is now engaged. . Resolved, That to the unrighteous an nexation of .Texas, resisted in every singe of its progress by ihe patriotic Whig par ty, is attributable this "miserable war" Willi all its untold histories of noble lives lost, of crippled limbs, of injured health, of broken, desolate hearts, and of widow ed wives and orphan children throughout our once peaceful and happy courrry. Resolved, That while we heartily a dopt the sentiment of the noble hearted Clay; "this glorious and beautiful land is " our common country in peace or in 44 war in weal or in woe- under bad ad' 44 ministration or good govermcnt" wc ' willurcmember to stand by it yet "fear less of denunciations from any quarter," we will not cease to denounce those who I;ave wantonly trampled the Constitution under foot, and unjustifiably, involved our country ia all h? 'burdens and miseries of war." Resolved, That the declaration of Polk and the Locofoco party, that the war was consequent upon the refusal on the part of Mexico to receive a minister from our government (while she agreed Jo receive a Commissioner) to negotiate in regard to the boundary between Texas and Mexico, and the now shameful, humiliating posi tion of the government in sending a clerk of one of the Departments with the bud get of three millions to buy a peace, if it cannot be obtained by begging, is a mise rable commentary upon the bravado style of the administration a few short months ago, and shows dearly that the govern ment is in the hands of men possessing neither wisdom or courage, virtue or in dependence. ; Resolved, That the refusal of the last Locofoco Congress to vote a half a mil lion of dollars to save the lives of star ving thousands in Ireland, and the appro priation of three millions to buy or patch up a peace with that old unipede Santa Anna, taken in connexion with the fact of' : ihe old rascal being smuggled , into Mexi- ,co by Polk, should consign his adminis-l trioa to. universal reprobation, and would . fully, justify us in fastening upon the ; brows of his followers the motto, to be read of all men, "millions for- Santa An - na, not a cent for Ireland." Resolved, That whilst we rejoice at the success of the American arms in Mex- co, and sympathise with the relatives and frieads of those of our countrymen wno iave fallen either in the conflicts or bv disease and whilst we would furnish ail necessfry m,eans to'prosecuie the war 10 3 Speedy a"f termination-- w'e view it as Mr. Polk s war, commenced I 1... 1.. . r r : uy jiiiu wuuuiii iiuiuuriiy iium .vonjjrcss, and carried on without vigor or judgment on Lis part and shall hold him and his partizans responsible for its cost for the sacrifice of thousands of lives and the ex penditure of millions of .money. Resolved, That Gen.. Zachary Tay- T T line rihrwl Ii t tin ti1 C tin lwftm 1 . - - 1 ' ' acd prudent commander; that wc recog- - ,. n ffP t?w hnhZr the principles of the Whig party of the nation; and that, as we , were among the first to name him for the Presidency, we are gratified at the numerous demonstra tions that have been made elsewhere in his favor since, and which leaves but lit tle doubt, if :my, of his being rewarded with that high dis tinction by the sponta neous voice of a free and grateful peo ple. ; Resolved, Tiiat we as. a portion of the W hig party of Pennsylvania, claim for our State the. next Whig candidate for Vice President, and take pleasure in uni ting with the Whigs of other States who have taken a stand in favor of our imme Iiate Representative, the lion. Andrew Stewart, for that elevated and respon sible post. Resolved, That we now repeal the o pinion so often expressed by us hereto fore, that the Public Lands are the prop erly of, and ought to be divided amongst the States; but if Congress persist in re fusing to enact a law for that purpose, that then it is itsdutvsoto reduce the prices of those lands as to enable the poor er classes to become purchasers, and that they should be sold to none except actual settlers. Resolved, That the thanks of the Peo ple of the Commonwealth are due to our active Whig Canal. Commissioner, James M. Power, and lo the efuVient Whig State Treasurer, John Banks, for the; manner in which they have conducled ! their respective Department?, having not only restored the credit ol the State, the one by prudent management of the Public Works and the other, by , a judicious ap plication of the means thus secured, but actually leaving a fcurplus of .over 300, CUO dollars in the Treasury after paying the interest due on thj first of August. When a tVlii State Treasur cr and a single Whig itt the Canal board have accomplished thus much in less than J one year, what may . wo nut icasonabiy expect from a Whig Governor and a ma jority of Whig Ca:ial Commissioners in three years? . Resolved, That wc most corJiallv cx tend to the officers and men of our army and navy engaged in the Mexican War, the meed of praise for their rousumate skill, untiring perseverance, and undaunt ed bravery, as honorable alike lo them selves and their country. Resolved, That whilst Lncofocoism in one section is trying lo "rvnne me peo ple into the support of Francis R. Slink by pretending that its members had aban doned Polk and his Administration, in other sections it is rallying its forces un der the old banner of "Polk, Dallas and Shunk;" thus furnishing ample evidence of its determination to carry on the con test of 1847 in a manner not more hon orable than they did that of 184, when by means the most disreputable they secured the vote of Pennsylvania to James K. Polk. Resolved, That we refer with pride and satisfaction to the faet that ihe last Legislature, composed of a majority of Whigs, was the most economical that has been in session for many years, having reduced its own expenditures at least twenty thousand dollars below the a mount usually expended by the Locofo cos, and transacted the business of their constituents in a much shorter time than it was done in former years. Resolved, That the present State debt was created and the present State tax im posed by our opponents, the Locofocos; and that the object of the Whig party in urging the election of a Whig Governor, Canal Commissioner and Legislature, is to introduce economy and retrenchment in the management of the affairs of the Commonwealth, so as to relieve her citi zens from at least a portion of the bur dens of taxation. ' ! Resolved, That the glorious results cf the late elections for Congress, cspccialiy in the South where additional slave terri tory might be supposed to be desirable, changing the Locofoco majority from 67 lo a Whig majority of from 5 lo 10, have stamped ihe Administration, its authors an! abettors with unqualified disappro bation and the Whig victory in Tennessee must-prove specially mortifying to her unfortunate son in the White House. Resolved, Tnat we will cordially sup port by all honorable means the ntg caiuJiuatcs ior uovcrnsr auu vaiiji vuui-, lmnor Rpn Jampj Irvm nnd Josenlii lilllVilVI f waa - " - g W Fatton, believing them both to be ev ery way qualified to fill the . respective stations for which they are presented, and we hereby give notice to our Whig brethren throughout the Stale, lhat now as ever Somerset .County will lake the risht of the Whig column. Resolved, That the ticket presented to the people of Somerset county, for their suffrages at the coming .election, is one eminently worthy, their enthusiastic sup port, being composed of inen throughout who fill ihe Jefiersonian requirement of "Osty and capacity Resolved, That we will go into the contest this fall -,with'a determination to ttand by the cant idates . cf the . Whig and Antimasonic party believing that their success i necessary to the, carrv .living uuk ? Cf Use principles on which the welfare of, the country depends. After the adoption. of the foregoing, it ' all other pjpers throughout the S site fa was resolved to hold an adjourned meet- vorabie lo the Whig cause. ing at this place on Thursday evening. rrM 7 .

Whereas, Martin Van Buren in IS27 gave his vote in Congress for a General ! Bankrupt Law, recommended such a law for corporations, in his Presidential Mes sne ol 1837. and again in 1840 in a Jo ter to citizen? of New York, he admitted j that he voted tor such a taw ju lb'i, ac knowledging, to use his own language, that "an occasion of at least equal emer gency for such a law exists at this time, 44 the embarrassments caused by the per "nicious expansion of the currency and 44 the consequent facilities of credit and " rash enterprises, which have uuforlu "nately characterized the last few years 44 ark such as to render an interference of 44 this kind conducive, if not absolute ly NECESSARY TO THE PUBLIC GOOD. I " WOULD THEREFORE HAVE CNHESITAT1N CJ 44 I.Y CO-OPERATED AT THE PASSAGE OF 44 such A law, properly guarded against 44 frauds and so framed as to secure the 44 creditors the present estate of their debi tors, when the latter were discharged ' from their obligations." - And whereas, Col. R. M. Johnson in 1827 voted for a Bankrupt law in the Se mite, and on the 18th January, 1830, in a letter written from Washington, declared that such a law should be enacted, "ita 44 provisions to extend to all classes of cve " ry p ofession.invo'un'ary as to merchants 44 and voluntary as to others," that it "SHOLLD EMBRACE ALL CLASSES EXISTING, 44 AT THE rA?5AC!K OF THE LAW, 3S Well "as all vl idi mny happen in future." And whereas, Messrs. Bkntox, 'Sena tor from - Missouri, Norvell of Miybi- gan, Wai.ejvU ol .Mississippi, -itram-; of. North Carolina. N'icholsjn ol I en neee, Wall" of New Jersev and manv other prominent members of the Locofb co party, in both houses ol Congress e qmiiy with, if not more strenuously than rite Whig, urged ihe passage of "such a law: "Mr Norvell declaring that "no mea- rr, no 'combination of measures thai " we can a:hp would uJJ'itA one tenth "part cf the relief lo Ihe count n which icVI be sicincd to it by the passage, of "a uniform law of hankreplcy. And whereas. The people of Pennsyl vania, New York, Michigan, New Jer sey, Massachusetts, Maine, IS'ew Hamp shire, Ohio, Indi-ma, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, by thousand of petitions, and Maine and Michigan by resolutions of the Legislature, prayed for the passage of a Bankrupt law during the session of 1 839-' 10. And w..ereas, The passage of such a law at that session was postponed until the next session, in accordance; with the urgent efforts of Senator Benton, who de clared that "Five hundred thousand vo " ters demanding the passage of a law on " the eve cf an election, must havcn in " fluence on the hopes and fears of the "lawgiver, as well as on his judgment j d rt 1 mm - n i ' ' i , , , ,v. r, I And where::?, U hen ihe. Whig Lon-i gress of 1811 assembled, and the votes of j . r . . ! . ! I " 500,000 unfortunate petitioners were no longer needed by. the Locofocos, when it was no longer necessary or profitable for them to play ihe heartless demagogue, the passage of a Bankrupt law devolved upon the Whigs and a few of the honorable-independent Locos, among whom was Walker, now Folk's ; Secretly of. Ihc Treasury, who said on the 25. July 1811, " If this law was not passed, the thou " sands of unfortunate debtors in this country, would either have to wear ihe "chains of the slave, or become exiles " from their Native Land.' And whereas, During both the Sessions of Congress at which Ihe Bankrupt law was parsed and repealed, only 2,133 pe titioners asked for its repeal, 1,205 for a modification, 4,313 for a modification or repeal, 447 for a postponement, while 42,1 G9 remonstrated against a repeal. And whereas, It is manifest from the w hole history of the passage of the Bank rupt law of 1841, that , it was not a parly question at all, but was supported by pro minent men of boih parties. Therefore Resolved, That the infam ous conduct of ihc Locofocos m charging ,upon the Whigs the sole authorship ot h uantn,pl J,awa:id especially in cal- j - n(r qcr jrvju j ils father, is unequalled in its foul mendacity and base hypocrisy by any or nil the reckless charges evex made by a prostituted press and party 2gainst political opponents in this or any other country. Resolved, That the submission of the Whigs to the will of the people as mani fested since the repeal of the Bankrupt Law, they showing no disposition to re enact a law against their wishes, presents a striking contrast to the utter disregard exhibited by the Locofocos to tha Peo ple's will relative to the Sub-Treasury law, passing it as they did clearly, and j boastingly against the protestations ol both Democrats and Whigs, who predic ted the worst effects from its adoption. Resolved, That the people of this coan: ty arc irreconcilably opposed to the An ; uiAduuu o! any more Slave Territory to the United State. Ordered. that the whole uroceedirt-s be ! published in the "Somprspt Hr-.u " ,i Married : On the 2G'.h August, by ihe Rev. J. J.
