SOMERSET HERALD. SOJiliUSRT, PA., TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, 1847 rOU PRESIDENT OF THE UNI TED STATES IX 1849. GEif'L. Z&CHARY TAYLOR. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, EON. ANDREW STEWART. Zuljict to the deeisivtt if a National Convention We had hoped the asperities ol poitti-1 cal life had been softened tliat the bick- ! - . ' clings and personal abuse which in times past characterized political warfare had ceased, and that in future, politicians D - I would at least endeavor to be gentlemen. We had supposed that hereafter the con res of politicians would be for principle and not for the purpose of detraction, a busc, and slender. The time was, when ihe parcel men encountered the most foul iibuc. That time we thought had pas Fed away, and a new and better era com menced. We were mistaken. There are siill some persons, it would seem, who delight in assailing the reputations of th?ir neighbors in engendering bitter and malignant feelings amongst those who rliould, at least, be personal friends, and jn destroying the harmony of the social circle, in which through the courtesy of the public, they are permitted to move. We have been impelled to these re- j marks from having read in the last "Vis itor," a resolution, purporting to have been passed at the meeting of the friends t)f Mr. Polk-, held during Court week, and by the perusal of a long editorial in the same paper, in which a vile attack is made upon Jonathan Row, Esq., the can didate of the Whig party for County Treasurer ol this county. The resolu. lion of which we have spoken together with the editorial article in question, dooms this gentleman to an immortality of infamy for having taken the benefit of the Bankrupt Law, and by implication calls upon the honest farmers ol this coun ty to refuse to vote for Mr. Row for that reason. This personal attack is entirely without excuse and exhibits the malignity of its purpose, when the fact is remem bered that Mr. Row has no competitor for the office ot County Treasurer, but its baseness can only be understood by ac quainting the public with all the circum stances under which Mr. Row availed himself of the benefit of that law. We proceed to give the public a history of : that business. In 1829 or thereabouts Mr. Row be came extensively engaged in the Mercan tile Imsincss-and. -from .that, time - up to 1832,rosecu'leJ "his calling 1 with all" the vigor of an active business man, but un fortunately in the latter year he was 1irrotrnpil with nn rntirn loss of sitdit I UIIWUIVUVU ww ------- Q t . irom a disease oi me eye, ana was com- j pclled to leave his business in the hands of others, and put himself under the care of an eminent oculist in the city of Pitts burgh, under whose treatment he remain ed for several years. During all this time he was rendered totally incapable of superintending hs own business on ac count of the affliction with which he had been visited, and, as is the case with al most every one who entrusts his business to others that business soon became de ranged, and as a natnral consequence Mr. Row became involved. As an hencs man would do, Mr. Row gave up every dollar's worth of property he had in the world, and almost blind as he was, sup ported a large family for a year by the labor of his hands, part of which labor consisted in breaking stone upon the turn pike. Subsequently Gov. Ritner, who knew the sterling integrity of his charac ter, appointed him Register and Recor der of Westmoreland county, and he held that office during Gov. R's AJministra lion. In that time every dollar of his earnings over and above the necessary support of his family was applied to the payment of his debts, and they were re duced some SI200. After his term of of fice had expired, some kind friends in "Westmoreland county, bought the mate rials for a printing office and rented them to Mr. Row, hoping thereby to give him the means of support for his family but before he was able to realize any thing ouioi ms new uuif aim. o, frora bcing unifed have become disunited creditors proceeded against him lor the THEY CANNOT ACT IN HAR purpose or realising their claims out of; MONY AND IN CONCERT WITH the printing establishment. The friends j THE PRESENT EXECUTIVE AS who had assisted Mr. Row, (amongst 1 THEIR LEADER. Without Hut har . r .i i - . w J mony and concert of action the majority whom were some of the heaviest ol Mr. jof 4Q0 -4 must, as a matter of Row's remaining ci editors) seeing that he Vof "dwindle down to a minority in would not be permitted to remain unmo- lested in any business that would enable liim either to discharge his debts or sup port his large family, advised him under all the circumstances that we have detail ed to avail himself of the benefit of the Bankrupt law. He look their advice. Can any one blame him? No honest l..:il will. , Some nine months after Mr. Row's racj JeJ by several of his crccitors, and I entered into negotiations for the purchase of -the-Herald. He frankly stated Ins condition to Mr. Mo wry. the then propri etor, and purchased- it payable in instal ments giving his notes, without security, for the establishment. Several of his cre ditors assisted him with means to com mence business, and have continued their assistance up to this lime. All the means that Mr. How has bren able to command, beyond what was necessary to support .his family and meet the instalments as "'"J lv"1"1" -ru t5 Kshment ne had purchased, (except $62 .in : ., : i - .uo.iurs mvcswu m u uasiuie iuW faithfully applied to the discharge of his old debts, such being preferred as had btcn paid for him by his bail; and he is (now engaged in the payment of those ve ry debts from which he was discharged. The foregoing is a brief and substanti ally correct history of the discharge of Jonathan Row as a bankrupt.. It will be seen; by its perusal, that he was advised to the course he took, by his creditors that ihey do not censure him on the contrary, that thev have assisted him in the full belief that he was an honest but unfortunate man. Of the attack upon him we do not wish to speak further than we have already done, but we would ad monish the public that if he had done a ny thing amiss in these transactions the charge would have come from those he had wronged, if he had wronged any one, long ere mis, anu wouiu noi nave neeii permitted to slumber till he was a candi date for office and then have been started, not by his creditors, but by men who wished to injure him for political purpo ses. Mr. Row has resided for some years amongst us and the moral rectitude of his conduct since he has been hercives us the best guaranty we can have of the honesty of the man and the purity of his character. Where he is known this article is unne cessary. Where he is unknown it may remove the aspersions attempted to be put upon him. i i i In conclusion it is due to the subject of j mis arucic 10 say inai h nas oecn written m and prepared lor the press, without his knowledge or request it is written by one wholly unconnected with Mr. Row and the facts detailed were derived from one of his creditors. The name of the writer is at the service of any one who . of right may demand it, and can be had by calling upon the publisher of the "Herald." Arc you Assessed ? We would remind the Whig and Anti masonic voters throughout the county of the necessity of being assessed at least ten days before the election. Let tiiis matter be attended to in every township land borough, otherwise many votes may . . be lost, The Locofocos are using ail the means they can device to make a grand rally, and it therefore behoves the Whigs and Antimasons to be on the alert. Will you, who can give a majority of from 1500 to 1800, not exert yourselves a lit tle also? Be not deceived by the move ments of the Loco3, but go to work, every one that can spare the time, and have your men assessed. Get all things ready and when the day of election arrives, then ''up and at them" and give them a real Waterloo defeat. You can do it; and wc have no doubt you will do it. ICpOur intelligence from Mexico is of a somewhat indefinite character. Gen. Scott was expected to enter the city on the 20th of August, hut the latest arrival at New Orleans brought no news up to that date. CAN SIIUNK BE ELECTED? Is a question often asked, and wc know of no better w ay of answering it, than by copying the following paragraph from the Harrisburg Argus, one of the two locofo co papers published at Harrisburg: Lan. Trib. "It should not be forgotten that in 184L Gov. Shunk succeeded by a mea gre majority of four thousand voles. The Democracy were then United. They marched up to the polls as one man,, and only saved themselves by the skin of their teeth. But the condition of things have changed materially since that period. Without inquiring into' the cause, it is j 1817. The Albany Evening Journal says M-SThose who have the best opportunity for learning Gen. Taylor's sentiments say that he was opposed to the annexa lion of lexas. We are assured by gen tlemen who were much with Gen." Tay lor, (one of whom is not a Whig,) du ring the discussion of the Wilmot Proviso that he openly, frankly and freely an nounced himself , opposed to any exten sion of Slave Territory. And such wc beheie to be a tact. 5!isiuanagciiicnt of the Public TTcrks. J he statement ot the new collector on . the public works located at Pittsburg, shews that although the number of boats passcu irom me opening oi ujc naigu- Hon to the nrst ot August this v ear i . 755 less than last year up to the same period, the tonnage is 3,G92,30G lbs. more and the tolls near . ten thousand dollars more than they were during me wnoie oi last year! What is the unavoidable . in ference from these facts? What but that the State, under a locofoco Canal Board has been plundered systematically of from a quarter to a half million dollars a year! How has the robbery been discovered and checked! By the pfpction of James M. ' Power, the Whig Canal Commissioner, whose presence at the Board compelled salutary reforms and honest returns. w-- i Our State has witnessed strange sights t of late years in the management of the public works. We have seen'men go in to the public employ penniless, at small salaries, and in the course of a year or two, become the owners of large farms or the possessors of funds to enter largely into speculative business. We have seen em movers whose wages were set tiown at 1.50 or $2,00, per day, voluntarily leave their situations, and live subsequent ly on their means like very nabobs. Wc have seen the State encumbered by debt and its citizens tax-ridden, until endurance almost ceased to be virtue, and we have seen at the same time our public works losing money, when under locofoco con trol. But as soon as there was an infusion of Whig energy and Whig honesty given to the Canal Board, the aspects are all changed the works become pro6table, and while the number of boats passing has decreased 25 per cent, the tonnage and tolls of the present season have al ready exceeded those of last year. Will the people need prompting to ap ply the proper corrective which they com menced last fall? Will ihey require to be told that a Whig Canal Board will pre vent future frauds on the public works, when they see what has already been ac complished by the election of Mr. Pow er? We think not. Give the good old Commonwealth the service of Power and Pattox as Whigs, and Mr. Bi'rxs who though opposed to us politically, we be-, lieve to be an honest and conscientious public officer, and we need hare no sha of the State interest, and a surplus of a-J vaibihln moans towards the creation of a sinking fund for the eventual liquidation of a portion of the principal. N. Amer. IMPORTANT MATTERS COMING TO LIGHT! The statement of die Pittsburg' Collect or is bringing- important matters to. light. exhibiting the manner in which our pul- lie works have been conducted under men bound by party interests, instead of the interests of the Commonwealth. A Cap tain of a Canal Boat gives the following explanation of why the tonnage of this year exceeds that of last year more than 18,000 ions, when the number of boats exceeded those of this year nearly 1,000: He (the Captain) siys "that some time last summer while coining up the Canal just before he came to a weigh lock, he passed a line boat, (as they are called.) a boat running through to Pittsburg. .It was a large boat and heavily freighted; whilst he was in the office f the weigh master, the Captain of this line boat came in and asked to be passed through with out wcishing; said he had twenty tons on board, did not wish to be detained, &e. The gentleman; from Uuion county turn ed to the officer, at the same time taking a S10 bill out of his pocket, and told hun to weinh tli3t boat, and that if he did not find that it had forty tons on board in place of twenty, the nioney should be his. The officer replied: C7m"Thet were vol in the habit of weighing these boats, that (he musters of them thtf : had al ways found to tell the truth, &c." and at the tame time passed the boat regular ly through as having only twenty ons on board, when our informant is certain, from the way she was sunk in the water, that her load must have exceeded forly tons." This statement was made to the Editor of the Union County Star, who holds himself in readiness to furnish satisfactory proof of the statement il required. The people will here see a specimen of the manner ill which our public works are and have been conducted under the rule of Shunkism! They will also learn as the Erie Gazette well remarks, why our Public. Improvements have not been more productive in former years. And in this connection, an important inquiry suggests ilsell, which the people, we trust, will wisely answer at the uauoi box. It is this: if one Whig member of the Canal Board has succeeded in draw ir. largely increased revenue from the State works, what might not be expected from the conjoint exertions of two? Voters of all parties should ponder this question, and let its forcible suggestions impel them to a truly Pennsylvania!! course of action. Lane. Trib. GEN. IRVIN AND TIIEPROSPECT. The Village Record says-'The Whigs of Pennsylvania have never presented a more undivided front than at this ino- ment. Wherever we turn, the most grat ifying prospect is seen. All the counties" are working with consummate tact and judgment, preparatory to the great effort in October. Gen. irvin is me man 01 me people intelligent, honest and unosten tatious. A better man was never put forward for the votes of a free peo ple. The utmost confidence may be re posed in him. During a long life he has never faltered for a moment in the straight forward discharge of dutv. He is erai- nently qualified for the duties of the office 1 to which we would elevate him. His j integrity is above suspicion. . Well may ! the Whig party rally -; with : confidence upon Irviu."' -. - , - Count j Committee. Samuel Y. Pearson. John J.
