MILITAUY AND CIVIC PROCESSION, According to |lio appointment of our Town meet Ing, tlic procession in hbnor.of Gen. Zachary Taylor, late President of tho United Slates, took place here cm Saturday last. Tlie appearance of the morning was unfavorable, as llicro were strong indications of rain, and Uio middle of the day was rendered some* what disagreeable by frequent showers. But these things did not prevent a large attendance from the country, and'this visits of a military company from Nowviite*.and a respectable delegation of the Order of Odd Fellows from Mocharijcsbiirg and Harrisburg. The procession was formed in the College Campus nbout II o'clock, under Capt. Gkoboe Eok, os Chief Marshall, who, as the insignia of his office, wore a splendid sash, and.carried a ballon in his hand. Ilia appearance was commanding, and his arrangements of the most judicious kind. The Chief Marali.ill and his Aids (who deserve great credit for the handsome manner in which they performed their duties,) head ed the procession. They were followed by Colonel Cook, commander of the Cat lisle Barracks and Stuff, in fuU # unifonn, whoso fine military bearing and ap pearance, added greatly to the splendor of the pro cession, Next to them the line was swelled by e large, body of mutinied United States troops, (noble looking follows) under the immediate .command ol Lieut. De Latino.. Gen. Amur and Staff c.imo nc*! imposition, followed by the Volunteers, consisting ol the-Ringgold Artillery from Newville, under Lieut Birr/the Carlisle Light Artillery .under Lieut. Scl lers, the Carlisle Infantry under Cupt. 9. Crop, and the Hunter Rifles under Capt. Geo. Crop. These were followed I>y the two Lodges of Odd Fellows, the Eaeampmool and Subordinate Lodges, each In full regalia. After' them, tho Union. Fire* men, hi,Firemen's dress, and then, the citizens gcnc- rally. The fine appearance of the Odd Fellows, Volunteers and Firemen, received universal praise. The procession moved about half past 11,o'clock, and marched through ell the.streets of the town to the furthest extremity of each,-backwards and .for* wards, until about I o’clock. W.o understand that an impression'prevails that there was probably some mistake made in regard to this part of the exercises, M-U iasald the resolution of the Town Meeting was to march to the First Presbyterian church at 12 o’clock, lo hear a.eulogy pronounced by the lion. F. Wattj: that the intention was not so much to have a procession «s (o hear the eulogy, and (he object in having the procession was to go* in. the Church to hear the eulogy. This object therefore, (if such bo the base) entirely miscarried,by mistake, as ths pro: cession marched until long past (ho hour, and then dlsmta«ed>vthhout going to the church. It is certain that pews - were reserved /or the procession, and a great deal of. confusion, uncertainly and disappoint ment, were created by these proceedings. No out knew when to go to the church or when the eulogy would be delivered. In the mean time the church was more than lulf filled with a waiting audience, impatient for* the oxorutscs, The eulogy was post ponad until the procisklon was dismissed', and U was jeen that It was nut coming lo iho church. About 1 o'clock iho exercise* commenced, when some few atrsgglcdln on hearing the singing* end made with those who wore previously there, in fact a Urge, W comparatively a email audience in proportion lo iho \ • grsat numijor of people in town, and iho nujnber ofl those who desired to attend. 'The excroisei lo Iho church were of a must inter* citing character.. Tiio eulogy pronounced by Judge Watts (Nrrtraycd in eloquent, terms the noble deeds and' public and private virtues of the llfhslrious do ceased.'' It wee d very short, but admirable address.

The pulpfl and chondatier of the church were hung In black; but there have been some complaints made against tbs Committee of Arrangement fornothav-j leg more ol the church trimmed In the sumo manner. It Is a sufficient answer to this, that the funds of (he Committee were very limited, and that some of the wealthiest men In town refused to contribute one I . .cent to defray the expenses. One of these moneyed gentry we understand expanded his soul to tho amount of twenty ftva cents, and has looked, and no doubt feels like a greater and better men evor since. It is io bs hoped that a monument wllUte erected tol ilia memory when hs-dloi. Others refused altogether 1 . principle—a* they said, and loft the community to Speculate on the loftiness of tholr ambition, and the magnanimity of their characters. When wo find a more liberal class of citizens, we can probably eP* ford to do things right. As It was, there was hardly money enough to defray the expenses absolutely ne. cesssry. Great praise is due (o the Ringgold ArlUiory of Newrille, and tho deputation of Odd Fellows from Mschanlcsburg and UarrUhurg, for their attendance. They displayed a spirit of patriotism that we think 'nifflit well have been Imitated hy others.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. So said Jefferson, and lid is generally conceded by Democrats to have been a mdn that know something of the secret springs of human action. VVq have been led to (Ins train of remarks by a fuel which was.communicated to us soulolmic before ic mooting of (ho Williamsport Convention, by on intelligent Democratic, member of Urn legislature from the north western section of this fllalo. lie said ho knew.tho fuel that tho gentlemen, who were finally elected by ourCutlnty Convention as delegates to the Democratic Statu .Convention, bad beenselec- ted by the friends of General Cameron lit Harrisburg at least four Weeks before our delegate election took place. This was manifesting a praise worthy interest indeed in our patty arrangements by persons who were not Citizens.of the county. It would have been belter to huVb (old us at once, that (ho two persons mimed hold been Bolcctcd for (hat elation, and saved us tho trouble of holding an election at nil* Wo pre sume, however, (hat these managers tholight il osson liul, that tho good people of Old Mother Cumberland should go through tho forms of an election* to give it tho appearance at least of the spontaneous and unbiassed action of tho Democrats of tho County.— Now against sllch forcigh interference with our local concerns wo earnestly protest, aft anli-Dcmocralic in its tendencies, and as corrupting ail party organiza. lion. When tho nows of the result was telegraphed lo Harrisburg, there was groat rejoicing among the particular friends of (he General, to leara that (heir Inns had succeeded so wefl. But the curious part of the whole thing was, that tho persons elected-denied In'strenuous terms,'that they were the friends of Mr. Hublcy,who was known us tho Cameron candidate for Canal Commissioner. One of them complained bitterly to a. delegate of tho County Convention, that he was charged with being friendly lo Mr. fciuhcron’a favorite, and said (hat he was anxious lo bo elected in order to that the charge was not (rue, and soys lie, " I want you to lulivcr .nie out of the hands of the Philistines.” The result is known—Mr. Dunlap voted for Hubloy seve- ral limes, and Mr. VVoodburn for twenty five Conse- cutive ballots. Now wo do nut intend to say that el this time, the person referred to was oware that ho Was expected to vote for .Mr. Mubloy. - That may have been so, or it may not—but wo incline to the more charitable inference that il was not, and that ho sincerely intended to do as ho sard hC woQld do. Tho moral of the story Is this, (Iml (ho designation of delegates by persons residing olit of the county showed a hardihood In politics seldom witness- ed; and although the persons thus sustained end elected may not have been aware of (he particular object to bo obtained by (heir election, yet it showed (he groat confidence of (hose who were hi the setrsl, of being able to bring an influence to bear an them, trough personal friends, or political affinities, that was judged rightly to ho irrcsistablo, Dul we contend ihut sack foreign interference is impertinent In the last degree, and although (he Democratic party of this county have been tho dupca ofil more than once, we hopo we have witnessed the lust manifestation of its power for evil. General Cameron Jus recently been among us, but whether the object of his visit was political, wo are not pro* pared to bay, t Wo have ho' hostility (o Genera! Ca'mofoft es a man, but we candidly confess'we do not admiro his politics. Wo do not object to his entertaining any views he pleases, but wo do object to his meddling in tho affairs of tho Democratic party, enntroling its nominations, and then breaking down all party usa ges when ho wishes, to elevate himself. It seems now to bo conceded tha 1 ho is anxious to bo elected to the U. S. Senate, and he expects to bo sustained by tho Whigs in a body, and by as many Democrats as ho can onlico-from (heir party allegiance. Such was (he modus operand* by which ho became (tie suCber. sor of Mr. Duchnnnn bofore, in that' august body— and (hero is every reason to bcliovo that he is pro* paring to reach,the same goal by (ho same moins Again. ‘'Coining events cost their shadows before.” Are (he best men of tho Democratic party in’Penn* sylvnnia to be thus sacrificed 7 Mr. Woodward was the burnt offering Ihon. . Who will bo the scape god next time? Where and when la line to stop 7 Mr. Woodward was fairly and honorably nominated, was [a most pure and able man, and would have done hoi\or to .Pennsylvania—but eyen'he must give way, and tho usages of tho party be broken down in order to elevate a man, who le say the least,-did not truly represent tho Democracy of tho Stale. Wo hope lo wliness no such humiliating spectacle again, and above all wo hope no such outrage will bo attempted by Democrats. If General Cameron will fairly and honorably join'l tho Democratic party, act with it in good faith, and! without mental reservation,throw away hie budget 1 of Federal heresies, wo would icjolco in his elevation as much os In that of any other man—for in a pojil* icul point of view, men are nothing, principles and measures everything. Wo ore free (o’confess that ho has sustained himself wondrous well considering the measures ho supports and has supported. What station might ho nut have reached, with his energy and perseverance, hod ho been, and so continued, a steady and consistent Democrat. But by resorting to unworthy moans foi advancement and promotion, wo say in all sincerity and with no unkind feelings, that Hit higher his elevation by so much the greater will bo his shame, Orio word moro. There has been attempted to be raised a false Issue In ibis county. Thoie who do riot coincide with the view* of General Cameron and lie particular frlends, are said to be tiro friend* of he lion.

It la very munlfcil that such an laauc la raised only by those who are anxious to find tm« exeme for (heir peril, naclous adherence to Gen. Cameron and all his pc* | cuUur dogmas. Of one thing wo arc certain, that so far as ths feelings of the Democracy of (hia county ore concerned, they.are wedded to no man,and they will esteem cither' Mp.

It.is not our purpose lo onier into any defence of one who'has boon so long and so favorably, known to the Democracy of this county,of this Congressional district, and in .facl.pf the whole Sltilo.

' It is itol necessary to go into adblail of our travels, os you hovo doubtless read my former lector. -We had a pleasant, passage from N. York to Chagrcs, ma king tho voyage In loss than 13 days. Wo arrived at the oily of llavanna on the morning of .the fourth of Juno, and were detained 16 hours in boing transfer red to the Falcon. llavanna was In a complete slate of ddfonco. , It has a fine harbor, and on nach side of the entrance are strong furls wolT garrisoned.— The city is very beautiful, its population is about' 200,000, wo could hot land on account of the disturb ed slate of, the Island. It was reported that four of the patriots had been tried by.a Court Martial end shot. VVo arrived at our anchorage near Chagres on the night of .the Dili of Juno; as we loft ttie ship in small boats foe the city, tho Crcsonl City was seen in the distance. As wo enter the Chagres river, to the loft, is sin ancient fortification, tho casilo of San , Lorenzo. It was built by the early Spanish Con querors about 250 years ago—at present it is in a I very dilapidated condition, but in the handsof Amcr icsns-would bo an impregnable fortress. A few na tive soldiers garrison the Fort, wo had scarcely lan ded in Chagres when wo wero met by our acquaint ances from C orhaJe, H- M,, J- E, F. M’F., who came down in the. Crosont City. 11. M. informed tis his brother J. M. intended returning homo on account of sickness, a very wise resolve, ns it requires a human chip to go through. Wo loft Chagres and ascended the river, which was very high and dangerous, wo were four day# in reaching Gorgorino,and concluded to cross by land at this point. Here one of the Mo oiianicsburg boys loft for home, said ho could not stand tho journey. -Two day s of our hardships in the mountains satisfied his ambition, we reached this ci ty, on Sunday 16lh Jane. On inquiring about a pas sage up to San Francisco we learned that tickets on steamers were Belling for $3OO steerage.

From tho best sources of information, wo have as certained that sail ships st this season will nut bo ablo to make a voyage to San Francisco in Ichs than 100 days, owing to tho danger of being becalmed.— Mr. Plank told mo ho was 33 days in making a Voy ago from N.

' His reasons fortcaving wore that his friends in N. O. advised him not to go that route upon any account. I think ho acted wise- I|y in doing so.

Whigs ta make jidlillcal capj ital. out of (1)6 occurrences at Williamsport, says the Harrisburg Keystone, com© with ill..grace from a party Whose policy, for years, haa been to. sc- Uuco members of (he Legislature front their fidel ity 19 their constituents, by the influence of their monied institutions, and then to reward them with highest places of.honor in the Whig ranks. Who does not recollect the treachery of Penrose, . Burden, Dickey and others,, when they went for the United Slates Bank.l .Before this act, (hero was nothing too severe for Federalism to say of them.: Since then, they have been the acknowl edged loaders of the Whig party and have filled some of the most distinguished places in its gift. No longer ago than the last session, Whiggery was proud to open wide its mouth, in the House of Representatives, to swallow the doses adminis tered by: the facetious, and somewhat eccentric doctor. He was the acknowledged leader of Whiggefy, and looked up (0 by.ail tho talent and and decency party in the house, as the very oracle of the great Whig party. . Govßitnor. was also a renegade from the dem ocratic ranks, and so Is Gov. Johnston. Nearly all iho leaders of the party are made up of men who have bcen*expelled from the Democratic par ty on account of their treachery and misconduct. Even iho suspected author of iho attempted bri bery, is indebted to Whiggery for all the political distinction ho ever received. How flattering this must ha lo the pride of the old line ami national republicans,'to. bo placed in leading strings to such men as UUner, Penrose, Burden, Dickey, Johnston, Cameron, &o. &c. &o. , .The idea of iho Whigs talking about bribery and corruption in the Democratic party, is truly ridiculous. Whiggery is made up of it. Jl owes, its very existence to it. Take away from it-iho men who have been turned out of the Democratic party, for their misconduct, and it would bo liter ally annihilated. There would-be nothing of it left. It therefuro loves and cherishes bribery and corruption'. It not only receives those guilty of it into Its bosom, and gives them aid and comfort, but it makes leaders of them and implicitly obeys their commands. Tho Gnlphln CiiMtlldulei • The following article* which U copied from the Union Times, a paper published in Mr. SnydorV own county,'will show tho estimation in 'which the Whig candidate for Auditor General is held at homo.amongst those who have longest and best known him. That Ills father was honestand faithful to all his public, trusts is bbt a poor guar* nnty for the son. It* is an old and generally true Baying, that thq. son of the Fareon is the worst boy In the Parish. So it is undoubtedly in this when a man has no other claims to pub lic favor than the good character of his father* ten chances to one, that he is not much of a man himself. But to the article: ' Gai.piiin Snvdbu. —The Galphin Whigs met in State Convention, at Philadelphia, on the lOr h inst. Wo, perceive that the name of Henry VV. Snyder, of this county, was trough I the Convention for Surveyor General* but faiUnC' in this, on tho second ballot ho was lucky enough to got the nomination for Auditor General, a position of tho highest Importance and responsibility, requiring talents of tho most distinguished or der, and for. which Mr. S. is notoriously dis qualified both by education and experience.— Mr. S. is a brother of the Don. J«>hn Snyder, iukJ - son of cx-Governdt Snyder, and fur many years » a warm and uncompromising Democrat* but con ceiving himself wiser'than his father, ho eventu ally but himself loose from the Democracy of tho country* and since 1828 has acted with the oppo sition. Disappointed aufbition was.the cause of Ills opnslncy.. As., far os our recollection extends, .Mr. ftJnydcr has never shown much talent as a leader , h.it has invariably been compelled to sub mit to,tho dictation of others, nhd occupy a sec ondary pbsUion in the ranks of his party. Al though frequently up for nomination for Senator* &0., ho has never ns much as commanded a re spectable vote in. convention; owing to the antipa thy of the Whigs against him occasioned hy his reserved habits and aristocratic airs.’ lie is dis liked as much by thu bone and sinew of tho Whigs ns he Is discountenanced by the‘Demo crats, and' most certainly his nomination was as tmexpeeiml as ills unpopular and detested. So far as the Democrats are concerned, wo can freely say, that wo look upon his nomination with per fect indifference, lie’s not going to "set the river on fire” through Ills popularity here. Some of the most prominent Whigs in the county will oppose him tooth and nail,” and wc predict his triumphant defeat in his. own ballot box which usually glvetf a Whig majority of 100.
