■■ - MIWTARr APPOINTMENT. —Dt. GtOKOK W. FoUWC of
this borough, has been appointed by Col. 'Noble Sur
geon ©fills Regiment—the invincible 197tb. A most
judicious appointment. The Doctor is not only ca
pable, bat he is decidedly a clever whole-souled
fellow—and if legs and arms ore to bo taken off, he
is the one to perform tho operation neatly. .
•N*w Stores, Changes, &c.— By reference to our
> advertising columnsit wilt bo seen that Dr. J. A.
Bishop, of, Harrisburg, has purchased the large and
extensive Drug Store of'Dr. Myers. Mr. B. has had
■ moch.Tcxpcrjencc in the business, and has recently
.replenished hi« store with fresh Drugs, Fancy arti
cles, &e. Dr. Myers, it will be seen by his card,
intends Co devote himself exclusively to his profession
hereafter.
‘ The Messrs. Coluzr have opened a very Hand

. they intend keeping a little of every thing. They
will keep on hand for gratuitous circulation, certifi

medicine* they offer for sale. See their odv.
Small Pox,— -An interesting and boloved.phild of
John Irvine, Esq,, of this borough, fell a victim to
this much-dreaded disease, last weak. We learn also,
with regret, thot several members of the family of
our Senator, Robert C. Slerrclf, Esq., residing in
South Middleton township, including Mr. Q. himself,
are prostrated by this contagious and withering
malady. Mr. Slorrelt, we are pleased to learn, is
now on a fair way of recovery. Wo have heard of
no other coses in this county, and it may be proper
to add that both these had their origin in Harrisburg.
We would,,however, urge alt who have neglected it
thus far, to lose no, time in having themselves and
their children vaccinated, and thus be prepared for
this dreaded disease should U spread over the com
inanity! • ; '•
School, Tax.— The citizens of this Borough deci
ded on Tuesday last, by a nearly unanimous vote,
that an additional lax of 62000, (the sum asked for
by the Directors,) should bo raifted for school purpo

, THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The Democratic National Contention meets at
Baltimore on theji2d iof llua_ montijH Who iho nom
inee Tor ; President will
that whean eco and learn,'Gon. CASB, nt prbscnt lhe
Senator from jUichiganf wtU bo thefraan. The name
of General (tyss is furoiJUi to.every American—:he is
o, of the yery first,class,'who lias served
his country , in. the; tented/field, at a- foreign .court,
ai
.nd in tho councils of the nation, with honor to
limeolf and credit to his country. But, we uro not
about to give a-history of tho character of Geh* C,
at this limo. Should ho rccoivoiho nomination hy
tho National Contention* It will glee ns great pica,
sure to lay before our readers a review of his pnpt
life and services.
Tho twenty-sixdelegates from this Slate*lb the
Naliprttil Convention, will of course; vole foriyir.Bu
ciian'ln, • in. accordance, with tlioir'instructions.—
And the; will, in* good failh/we doubt-not, continue
to vote for' him so long as they have the Uati hope of
success. Tho claims of our State, beyond all ques
tion, are as strong,, if not stronger, than any otherin
the;Union, and..the candidate she now presents, as
her first choice, is o. m’an whose brilliant career has
wobrfSr him tho confidence and respect of the demo*
cracy of the entire Union. The delegates from this
Slate, therefore, should, as wo trust they will, con
tinue to vote for James Buchanan si) long as they
consider it prudent to do so, and thus carry out their
instructions to tho letter. If they discover, however,
that (hey cannot, succeed with Mr. Buchanan, their
next duty to,the democracy of Pennsylvania, will be
to vote for that fearless and intrepid Democrat, Geo.
il, Dallas— of. .iron-nerve, who has never
flinched in any emergency—a man beloved by the
democracy .of his naliye Stale; and
who, like Mr. Buchanan, would carry this State.by
30,000 majority. : ' ■ ' ’'
The duty ofotlf delegates (o the National Conven
tion, therefore, will bo to carry out their instructions,
andr’Vqto for Mt.-Buchanan, and use oyery.honoriible
effort to secure his nomination. If they-fail with
Mr. 0., they should llion urge, with tho same unani
mity, tho claims uf Mr. , Dallas, end procure his
nomination if they can. Should llio delegates from
Pennsylvania fail of success with both our favorites,
then they are ol full liberty to Cast tho vote of the
Stale far any one of tho other eminent statesmen
whoso names will be brought before the Convention.
So far.us we are concerned; wo have little feeling
on this subject.* We shall.givo our hearty, zealous,
and.most enthusiastic support to the. nominee of the
Baltimore National Convention, whether he be Bu
chanan, Dallas, Cass, or that statesman of giant in
tellect, Levi Woodbury. Wo, in common with every
Pennsylvanian, have our feelings of State pride, and
should bo rejoiced to place (he name of Buchanan or
Dallas at our mast-head as the candidate of the.de
mocracy of the nation for .Presidents But, “princi
ples, not men,”'is and shall ever continue to bo our
motto, and we feel safe in saying that the nominee
of the Democratic National Convention, whoever he
may be, will carry Pennsylvania by.from fifteen to
twenty thousand majority. Wo care not a straw
who the Federalists may select as (heir candidate,
he cannot receive tho vote of the old Keystone. ■
VIRGINIA ELECTION,
■ An election fur members of tho Legislature took
place in this Stale on lhe26lli.of April. Wo make
up from the Richmond papers a synopsis of.the rc.
turns, us farms received:—Senate, democratic gain
2; House, do. do., 8 ; Senate, whig gain I { House,
do, do., 3; not democratic gain 6. . The' whigs lose
the Senators in the Buckingham and Jefferson dis.
trlcts, and have gained the Senator in tho Accomac
district. . From the above there can bo little doubt
but that the Democrats have carried tho 'State by a
sweeping majority. Last year the Federalists had a
majority in the House. .Particulars neXt.wcek.
Yes, we have people among us, in the U. States,
who want revolutions! We have.had those among
us wlio have attempted' revolutions; who have ban
ded together in fierce factions, longing for tumult,—
who have snatched up arms, and. been willing, nay,
to appearance, furiously anxious to shed blood.
North American, .
■ True enough. But who were'the men, and. to
what party did (hoy belong who “ snatched ujyirms
and were.anxious to shed blood?" Bet the reader
refer hack to the closing scenes of the corrupt ad
ministration of Joseph Rilner, and the question will
bo answered. When the Federalists of this State*
backed by a venal Governor and corrupt cabinet, at
tempted “ to treat the election as ifithad never been
held," and summoned armed troops with " buckshot
and bull" to tho capital, tho Inference was strong that
that party were ready and willing to sited blood for the
purpose of carrying out their damnable designs, and
would have done so had not their cowardly hearts
failed them. ,
“No Proscription!"—This is the groat cry of the
Whigs,’although they practice “Proscription" more
unrelentingly than any other party known.* In New
York they are now descending to tho smallest details
in proscription. Having a small majority tn tho City
Councils, they have just passed % law placing, in tho
haqds of the Common Council the power ofoppoint.
ing the undcr-clorks of tho different departments
heretofore vested In the heads of those departments.
This if, of course, to give them a few more voles at
tho next election. -
. Tub Tan lUoijurnt Bill.— lt is now thought that
the ton regiment bill will .pass the House. Tho
recent unfavorable newt from Mexico as to the rati,
fiedtion of the treaty, deprives the opposition of the
pretence or excuse that the men were no longer
wanted. This was the ground taken when tho trea
ty was the Senate. '
Grn. Cass in Illinois.— The Democratic Stale
Convention of Illinois, has rdnominaled the present
Slate officers.
Resolution* on (ho question of tho Presidency
wore passed, which declare Gon. Cass as (ho first
choice of tho democrats of 1 llinois fur the Presidency,
and Levi* Woodbury the second.

Very well—although the answer is Just-no answer
at all, wc will let it‘go for what it is’worth.- But,
did these same Federal preachers—lbif
they are—denounce the sin- ofrintonipcraiice, and
tho fiard-cider. parades;of 1640? Not.they! And
In 3844, when thatoxperlduelliat, Henry Cloy, whose
'hands were rod tvith s the blood ofhiyyellow.iTjen,
was before tho people, did..we hear any
thing like rebuke fall from the Ups of these preach
ers who now denounce Mr.. : Polk 7 L Did they, then
speak of the sin of duelling? -No, not a word;had
they'to say. Ob the contrary, nearly every minister
who now preaches against tho President and (he wnr t
voted for Henry Clay in’lB44! This Isa fact sa«.
cepliblo of proof, andwhlcb cannot be denied/ And
yet these gentlemen.ministers tell us that it is a part
oflheif duly.to preach against.a war whiejuhns been
forced upon us, and which we.could not escape with
out 1 dishonor! Still, we would not blame them so
much, if in their attempts to prejudice'the . people
against tho administration, they would sUeb4o the
truth and dcal'in facts. - Cat.when wirheir a minis*
(cr declare from (ho pulpit, that (he war. with Mexi.
co is “unrighteous, wicked, and without cause," and
that “the Americans were the first to shed blood upon
Mexican soil," tho conclusion forces itself, upon us
that the man who usen such language is cither,igno*
rant of the subject ho attempts to discuss, or is a
wiltul doliboralo falsifier. . -
Every man, wo care not of what party ho belongs,
regrets the present war, which we trust is about to
terminate. Every good citizen wouldrejoice to hear
that tho treaty of ponce won ratified—to hearthat the
roar of cannon and Iho clangor of arms were to cease.
But, to effect a peace, must we submit to disgrace,
and suitor our go unrodrcsscH f Ner6r!
Should the Mexican Congress tofuso, to ratify the
treaty, as approved by ilie Senate of the United Slates,
we hope to see bur government prompt In renewing
vigorous hostilities. ' 4
There can be but little dodbt but that peade would
have been declared long since had it pot been for the
treasonable efforts of the friends and allies of Mexico
in this country. Many sanguinary and hwd-fuughl
battles—many valuable lives—much blood and trea
sure would have been saved hod It not becri for the
speeches of traitors in this country, whose sympathies
were enlisted entirely for (he enemy, Mpjico was
deceived—her people, (generally ignorant4bd easily
imposed upon,) considered ft to bo thffpol|c| of their
country to hom out, and reAise all offers 3or peace.
They had the speeches of Clay, Wcbslcr. BoUa,
Gallatin, Holme*) and other Federalists, translated
and printed for distribution—and to show tneir great
respect for these ** illustrious defenders of (be cause
of Mexico," they were all elected honorary.memberfc
of the Philanthropic Society of Mexico /" "No won
der that deceived Mexico refused at an earlier day to
treat for peace.. From the speeches of her friends in
this country—Senators, members of Congress, min.
isters, and others, she was led to believe that public
opinion would force tho President to withdraw the
American troops in disgrace from her soil without
oven asking or expecting "indemnity for the past, and
security for the future." Mexico has boon deceived—
the men in this country, who, through treachery, de*
sired to befriend her, have,proved v lo be her worst
enemies, and tho fruit which they attempted ,to fur.
nish Mexicans, though dazzling to their ey£s, turned
to ashes on'their lips.
A Governor worthllavlng,
Gov, Shunk has vetoed a bill extending,the char

Such a Governor is worth a-mint of gold to the
people of any State. Charters are mere cobwebs
when it pleases tho managers of corporations to breuk
their tiny threads. A few more bursts and tho poo*

peculiarly intended fur'tho latitude of Ireland, we
suspect. The effect remains to bo seen.
In Ireland, things remain as they were, Tho
English.law.of treason is being extended to Ireland.
This will make it felony to invite, in a public spocclj,
tho Irish people to arms! We shall soon leurn which

Great disaffection, however; is spreading among the

Nothing new has taken place of. consequence. Lara,

The Danes'ond tho people of tho Dulchy of Hob

is that when the disturbance subsides republicanism

learn of no other authority for the report, and am dis
posed to doubt its truth; for if Pena y Pena la deal*
roua of the. ratification of the treaty, his only pros
pect of succeeding is by pressingtho subject upon
Congress Immediate,ly. It is added, too, that the Mux*
team* have great hopes of obtaining concessions and
modifications of the treaty usupproved bylhu Senate
of tho United Status, from our own Commissioner or
Commissioners, and if they were to bo guided by the
past, as 1 had occasion to observe in a former letter, 1
they would procrastinate negotiation, or continue the I
war, in tho conviction Unit the more tho one was pro- 1
crnstiimtud, or the longer tho . other Was continued, 1
tho greater would bo weir ultimata advantage. 1
> have, however, strong hlpos that neither Mr. Suvicr, I

tho Mexicans, but will tAllium ul onco without par* l
ley, 11 Gentlemen hero are ouFterms—accept (bom or {
reject them, as you think propor.. Wo aro conquer- 1
on, and have and will exercise tho right of conquer- !
ors in dictating our terms.” This |s all (he negotia
tion that is necessary,and all that should have over
been used. Mr. ClilTord arrived hero day before
yesterday, with tho Secretary of tho Commission,
Mr, Walsh, ynd was very handsomely received, «|l
the troops in the city having, by ardor of Gen. Duller,
turned out to give him a reception. Mr. Sevier loft
Vera Cruz for (his city on (ho 7th iiis(.,and tho com*
mflhdoMO'chief has ordered similar honors to be paid
, to him.
Tho prospect is still favorable for a speedy mc?t
-1 ing of Congress at Quercturo j and for my own part, |
notwithstanding the contradictory rumors and reports
I on the subject I ahull bo disappointed If tho treaty is
not ratified within a month or nix weeks. Inuinici
pullon of favorable action upon the treaty, all the
Mtok who cun bear removal, numbering about one
thousand, wore yesterday sent to Jalupu, with an es
cort commanded by Lieut. Col. IVeston of (he 4th
Kentucky Regiment.
On Sunday night last, between the hours of 8 and
10, a patrols of tun riflemen, commanded by a Cor
poral, was fired upon from tho building known os tho'
“bull pen,” iu the Lopero quarter of (ho city. After 1
sustaining the fire for about lea minutes, the palrolo'
was compelled (orctlro, Reinforcements, consisting j
of one company of the Rifles, under Lieut. Russel, 1
throe companies of (ho 4U> Kentucky Regiment, the
name of Clio commander of which I have been una
ble to learn, and a company of Marines, under Copt, I
Henderson, were ordered out, These forces having
arrived on the ground, forty or fifty armed horsemen
wore met, who sucrolioglhcmsclvcs in ai)dh>bouttho|
bull pen, kept up a fire upon our troops for nearly ah 1
hour. Several shots wore also fired from the lops of
the houses in (he vicinity) end (wo riflemen were so- 1
verely Wounded. , ; ( 1
Owing to (he darkness of the night, end the fear
that our troops might Accidently shoot one another,
their Are was not effective, and but (woof tho Mexi-i
i cans were killed. A few were taken prisoners, and
houses In tho neSghboxhoud wore searched, and arms
found in them captured. During (bo latter part of
the fight a firing was heard towards tho Al)einodo,tn
Hi* opposite quarter of tho city, and Lieut. Russel
started in the direction from which it was hoard, but
on redohii\(r the spol .no one was to 1»q found. The
horsemen thalwera soon ul the bull pen wore rogu-.
I«rly armed as guerrillas or cavalry, with lonoos, os.
oopoUcs and pistols, and it was supposed (he object
was to break the armistice,, The firing at the Alle.
mede was, it is thought, for tho purpose of drawing
attention that Way; and by weakening our forces ut
the bull pen to enable the Mexicans there load with
more boldness and effect.

LATER, FROM MEXICdi
From tho Plcaydno of llic 23d till;; wb Have re
ceived later news from Mexico. In speaking of the
shocking murder committed in the city of Mekico;
the correspondent of that paper soya : . -
At ah early hour the next morning, Gov. Smith;
having been informed hf tho murdcf and attempt to
rob, ordered Liool. Russel, of the Rifles; and Lieut.
Black; of the Tlh Infantry, the former chief of policb
in tho Palace, and tho.latter bis assistant; to make
search for the parties wbom depositions hod
been made. This they succeeded in admirably, and
to-day they had six out of seven in ifons; VVlmt
caused (he dnustial excitement wdv, that two of the
accused are officers of the Pennsylvania volunteers,
one Lieut. Hare and the other Lieut. Dutton.. Lieut. 1
Hare lias been arrested, but Lieut. Dutton is still at
large. The following are tho names of the remain
der of tho party:—Jesso Armstrong, 0 discharged
leambtcr; John D. Hollister, an American citizen;
John Wall, private,Co. E.7th Infantry; B. F. Wmgg,
sbr’gt. 7lh Infantry; and John Laveily, an American
citizen. Hollister and Laveily arc gamblers, a spe
dies of scoundrels with which the city is infested.—
I am averse to witnessing the degradation or morti
fication of a fellow being, but being with Lioutonaril
Russel at the lime he ordered Hare to bu pm iu irons,
at his .invitation 1 accompanied him to the room in
the Palace in which the prison is Confined. He has
a wound in Uiu arm, supposed to have been given by
one of the shots of the dork, and with his uhn in jj
sling, the handcuffs were fastened on him, and his
logs bound together with a fchulri. ;
A gentleman who was once on terms of intimacy
with-him; happened to be with us, and as we wore
leaving the room ho Begged tho gentleman to exer
cise his influence with tho press of the city not to
have his name mentioned in connection with, the
affair until an Investigation cbuld be had. Ashe
made this request he could scarcely refrain from
shedding tears, and our sympathies were increased
by tho reputation he had acquired in the battles of
the valley. For his gallantry in those battles his
company presented him with a sword shortly after
the arifiy entered tho city. If ho be guilty though,
and with such degrading associates, licilhcr Ills bra
very nor position should shield him.
A correspondent of tho Crescent says t
' Their (rial will take plaoo on Monday next, tho
10th uIU. and for the honor of the army, if proved
guilty, should bo hung in Iho Main Plaza. Robbery
soems to be the order of (ho day just now. A few
evenings ago a party of soldiers houdod by a man in
an officer's dress, went to tho hacienda of San Anto
nio, under pretext of searching for deserters, and de
manded entrance in the name of the United Stator.
Of course the doors (vere opened, and tho protended
soldiers proceeded at once to rob the place.of every
tiling valuable. There is scarcely a smalt village
( near here that has not suffered more or less within
the last two weeks from depredations of this kind,
commuted either by-Amoricansor Mexicans. . Many
soldiers have recently deserted from our army, end
have taken to robbing for a living., 1 can trace this
bad conduct on the.part, of some belonging to the
army to nothing but (liu insatiable appetite for ga
ining that exists in this city. Men lose their money,
lose their credit, and self respect soon follows. Then
(0 replenish their packets some of them will stoop to
almost anything.
Several small burglaries have taken place in the
city of Mexico. Tho publication office of the North
American was robbed, amongst others. ' This Inst
j robbery must have been perpetrated by Mexicans, us
u, robbery of a newspaper office could scarcely have
[ entered the head of uh American.
. Opinion* lunching ,lhe ratification of Iho Trebly
are as contradictory aa usual. A quorum of Congress
had not yet ruachud the city. Wo make Iho follow*
ing extract from on article in (ho Fruo American, of
iho Idlli iust. s
“Wo had occasion. yesterday (o converse with a ,
respectable gentleman who has just arrived from tho
city of Mexico. Ho is u Mexican, and is in favor of
peuco, but says that tho members of Congress will
not vote for tho treaty ua It now sUndsi.thal he has
hoard many of thorn express Ihoir opinions on (ho .
subject, and that they all seem to ogroo (hat they
have not Iho power to cede my portion of tho ter.
itory belonging to tho Republic. Doing this, they
think, would be violating the Federal Constitutionof
Mexico. They would be willing to pay tho expenses
of the war. ‘ '
They are also willing to abandon Ihoir pretensions
to the ownership of Texas, provided Iho demarca*
lion of the boundary line ho loft to commissioners to
be appointed by each government.
. In our opinion, if this statement bo true, and wo
believe it Is—U shows plainly that the Mexioanshave
again made an abuse of the good faith of the Amer
ican government. 1 * .
Brigadier General CadwolUder had resigned his
commission, end left Iho oily of Mexico on his way

Mr. Trist had also loft tho oily under an escort on
his way to the United Stales.

at Santa Cruz do Rosales, twenty-two'leagues frpm
Chihuahua, on (ho 16lh of March, in which as usual,
our troops were victorious.. The Monitor says, “the
firing commenced at 0 o’clock In tho morning, end
continued until dark at night, when the Americans
stormed the place, look .eight pieces of heavy artille
ry, sit small pieces of ordnance, and more limn nno
