IMPORTANT FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
I.Tive men killed by .11lexicons and Indi
ans:—Steamer Camomile fired into
again—Government o.lthers wounded.
By the arrival' at New Orleans .. on
the Ist inst., of the steamship.Yacht,-frem
Brazos Bantiago, we have received dates
from Brownaville to the 20th ult. The
news is of the most exciting character.
The Flag Olthe'l6th ult., states; that On
the evening of the 10th ult., a - gang of i
I about forty men consisting of Mexicans'
and Indians, attacked a party of seven
Americans,, who were encamped at a lake I
called Campaeuas ; five of those at the
i camp are said to have been murdered, and
all their property taken into Mexico. Two'
of the men, fortunately, were on the nw
gin of the ake shooting ducks at the tiVhCO
and succeeded in Making their escape.—,
These robbers' and murderers are said to
have crossed the river some !Oily miles '
above Brownsville ; on Friday the7th
and a detachment of them openly re-cross
ed it again soon after perpetrating the
murder, bearing with them the right hand
°reach of their slaughtered victims, while
the remainder 'of the savages cuoly en
camped on the ground where the massa
cre occurred, expecting no doubt another
feast of blood from those whom they deem
ed absent from the camp, and would prob. j
ably return unsuspicious of danger.
The population of the neighborhood was
not only too sparce for resistance, . but
afraid to venture out to bury the dead, af
ter the murderers were gone. The Flagl
contains a letter flow Warren Adams,l
which says that it is understood that these
Mexicans and Indians wore instructed by
the authorities In Mexico to kill and pion
der all American citizens near the frontier,
and that acting as they did, under the in
structions of the aforesaid authorities, they
mutilated the bodies of the murdered men,
taking the right braid of each to testify
that they were entitled to the reward of
thirty or forty dollars offered by Mexico'
for each American they murdered on the
frontier.
The Rio Bravo of 20th says, that the
steamer Catnanche was again fired into
last week, a custom-house officer residing
at Rio Grande city, Mr. Brashear, was
dangerously wounded. His little son was
only wounded; and a Indy passenger,
Mrs. Rogers, the wife of the murdered man
spoken of, above, who was on her way up
to join her husband, very narrowly esca
ped a similar fate..
On the evening of the 14th instant, Mr.
Philip Rogers, a merchant of Rio Grande
city, while standing behind his counter,
was stabbed to the heart, and killed, by a
Mexican, who had ostensibly came to pur
chase goods. The object ofthe fellow was,
no doubt, to rob the house, as.iMr. Rogers
was not known to have en enemy in the
world. Another Mexican was upon watch
outside of the house, but both succeeded in.,
making their escape to the chapparel.--1
They were discovered almost in the act,
and one of thb fellows, in coming out of
the house, brushed against a gentleman
who, hearing the cry of Mr. Rogers, has
tily ran to his assistance. All efforts to
discover and arrest the assassins have so
far proved abortive.
As Strange as it may seem abroad;says
the Rio Bravo, this is the tenth murder
which has taken place within the last
three weeks. For the last two months the
average has been three killed per week.
No man's life is safe from these Melican
assassins for a single hour. It has become
a grave question, what is to be done in this
state of things 1 'Hit should continue, there
will not be an American on the , river in six
months.
Mr. G. N. Clarke, who recently arriv
ed at Brownsville from New Orleans, was
found dead in old Fort Brown,on tho 16th
ult., and it was evident from shot and oth
er wounds that he had been murdered.
Overland Route to California.
A line of Stage Coaches has just_been
established in Missouri, to run betnreen St.
Josephs and Sacramento City. The first
train left on the Ist day of May, taking out
the necessary stock for the several stations
of the company, and the second is to leave
on the 10th of June. The stalions,of the
company are Fort Kearney, Fort Laramie,
North Fork of the Platte, South Pass, Salt
Lake City, and the Head of the Humboldt.
The number of wagons in each train will
be ten, and the limitation of passengers,
forty. Time from St. Joseph to Salt Lake
City, twenty-five days; fare $lOO. To
Sacramento, sixty days ; fii re $l5O,
This arrangement will give anew turn
to travel, and make many prefer the "over
land route" to that across the Isthmus.—
One reason why men of small means will
prefer to go to California by the way of
Missouri instead of Panama, is that the ex
pense of so doing is only one half. The
steamers charging 300 dollars, while the
stages put it down to 150 dollars. During
the more pleasant portion of the year, we
should think the stages would do a most
excellent business. Whether they do or
not, they have our best Wishes. An en
terprise of such a magnitude, deserves the
most unbounded success.'
In comparison to 'it, all former stage
coach operations sink into insignificance.
Its features are peculiarly . American, and
could be met with among no other peoplo
in God's warld.—.llr. Y. Dutchman.

Democratic Standing Committee Meeting.
The Democratic Standing committee of
this county will - meet at the Office of Jos.
S. France on Monday the 28th instant, at
4 o'clock, P. M. Punctual attendance is re
quired us business of importance is to be
transacted. By order.
(*lt will be seen by the notice of the
Standing Committee in to day's •paper,
that they are about making a move towards
the organization of the party preparatory
to the approaching election. It is high
time that something should be done. We
have, every thing to do this fall, a Con
gressman, Senator and Representative to
elect, besides ourcounty ticket; and when
it is recollected that our Congressional and
Senatorial districts are composed of some
seven or eight counties, no time should be
lost. The other counties of the dis
trict are nt work, and why should we
delay 7
A START MADE.—By reference to the
proper department, it will be seen that we
have at last raised a candidate or two for
Sheriff. There is.plenty of room for more.
~,,
are
30
Clarion and Centre counties there are
30 gentlernen in each, anxious to find out
the nutnber:of their friends. Come on,
then, we don't want our little great county
to be so far behind.
FOR CONGRESS.-.-DAVIDBARCLAY, Esq.,
of Punxsutawney, we see by the Brook
ville leffersonian, is announced as dean'.
didate for Congress in this -district. Mr.
B. is a man of talent and active bUsiness
habits, and if settled upon as the nominee
of the party, will be a worthy candidate to
support.
SENATORIAL.—The reader will find st
communication in another column, recom
mending one of our worthy citizens (Judge
WRIGHT) for Senator. As our county
has been without a . representative in that
body for the two last sessions, we think
the ,other counties composing the district
should on that account magnanimously
yield
_to our claims. This will hardly be
the case, however, as we notice that G.
W. ZEIGLER, Esq., is - recommended as a
candidate, for the same honor in the last
Brookville Teffersonian.
The fact is, wo would have no objection
to having both the Congressman and Sen
ator at this time, as we have plenty of
good and willing material, and as our
county lies the most adjoining the "rest
of mankind," wo believe our claim might
be maintained with a tolerable grace.
TGE IVIIIG NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The whigs have had a really serious
time of it in their National Convention.
They met on Wednesday the 17th, and
after five days' of incessant toil—not coun
ting the Sabbath day, when, as reported
by telegraph, and published in the city
papers of Monday, the "excitement was
unabated," and "numerous bets were
made"—closed the contest for a Presiden
tial candidate on Monday afternoon, on
the 59th ballot, by nominating Maj. Gen.
WINFIELD Scow. They afterwards no
minated as'their candidate for Vice Presi-
dent the Hon. --- GnAizAnr, of North
Carolina:
We have not seen the published pro.
ceedings of the Convention up td, . its close,
arid only learn the above facts from pas.
sengers.. Up to the 46th ballot, (the last
we have seen,) the vote stood aboui equal,
for Scott and Fillmore, at, about 132 each:
and about 29 for .Webster.
This Convention will form an important
epoch in the history al nolittcid , parties in
this country. Them can 'no longer be
said to be two pOlitical parties, vrofessflv
'antagonistical principles, for the 12/aVOrm,
which the Southernwhigs compelled their
northern brethreti to swellerty is no. more
like whpt, thrdeeltiration of whig
pies were ten or twelve years ago than ,
the flinty reek is like limpid water. And
on the great question of the day—the ques
tion of the finality of the Compromise
sofar as words goat least, they are even
more firmly committed to the , maintenance
of those measures, fugitive bill: . and all,
than the Democrats., Thus, like the re
nowned Giles Scroggins, our - Northern
whigs can only console themselves with
the reflection, that if they have lost the'
principles they have fOund a candidate.
But a sorry fist they will make of it. The
people of the 'country, both North and
South, are acquainied with the leaders of
the Whig party; and know "what reliance
to place upon their. professions. If they
did' not—if the ptist did not prove. them
faithless in every nine cases, out of ten,
and always ready to surrender their prin
ciples and even their self-respect for what
ever temporary advantage might be offer
ed—the fact of their willingness to sacri
fice on this occasion, not one but all, the
principles they have heretofore advocated,
and abopted as their own, those against
which they have always done battle,
merely for the sake of ti candidate, will
be enough of itself to involve them in a
cloud of suspicion so utterly dark and por
tentous as to bring upon them defeat and
disaster in every quarter.
But we merely intended to mention to
our readers that the whigs had met' in Na
tional Convention, nominated their candi.
dates, apd laid down a platform. Next
week we will spread the document before
them, so that they may see that wo have
not misrepresented—and if any of them
can discover any vestige of ancient whig
principles—oven the faintest shadow of
the substance of any thing like a Protec
tive Tariff, National Bank, Assumption of
the Debts of the States, or any other of
the old rallying cries of whiggery—they
should make known their discovery with
out delay.
MURDERS IN HOLLIDAYSBUIIO.—Wo
have heard of three murders having been
committed in and near Hollidaysburg—
one on Saturday and two on Sunday last—
bpt as we are not in possession of the full
particulars we forbear to give the rumors
in their present shape.
Ibr the Clearfield Republican.
STATE SENATOR.
The time to select a suitable candidate
for State Senator, to represent the people
of the Wild Cat district, is drawing nigh ;
and it behooves the people of this county
to consult their own wishes; and determine
who shall represent them. The people of
Clearfield county have an important duty
to perform in this matter. Tho lumber
business is the great source of, wealth to
our citizens, and to protect which seems to
be the greatest duty devolving upon either
our Representative or Senator. Destroy,
injure, or retard the lumbering business,
and you take from Clearfield county every
thing that
_now makes it desirable as a
place of habitation. Ido not suppose that
any man that can or may be selected,would
willingly sanction any measure - calculated
to injure our business or prosperity. But
the great point is not to prevent our pros.
perity, but to foster, cherish, and increase
it. In order to accomplish so desirable an
object, we must be represented by one of
our own citizens, ono who understands all
our interests, and in whom we can confide.
We have many such men, who if elected,
would not only represent us w;th fidelity,
but be an honor to Clearfield county.
Without disparagement to any ofour prom
inent citizens, I beg leave to nominate the
Hon. A. K. Wright, of Clearfield borough.
His intimate acquaintance with all the
wants of our county, his ability, his moral
worth andhis unwavering adherence to the
Democratic party, in adversity as well ati
prosperity, point him out us the man for
the occasion. The Democratic party
owes it to itself and, to Judge Wright to
nominate and elect him to the Senate at
this time. Let us therefore consult 'our
own interest and, the gratitude due to Judge
Wright, by urging his nomination before
the Senatorial Conference. S.

THE ACADEMY.
It does not seem to bo generally known
that the prices of this school have been re
duced. The ncl vertisement shows low rates,
lower than could be afforded were it not
that the endowment of the Academy pays
part of the expenses.
Recently, exercises in vocal music have
been introduced without additional charge.
This is an improvement most heartily to
be commended. What is more delightful,
more innocent or more , refining , in its in
fluence than, music? What is there more
within the reach of all : ? And 'by, all it is
equally enjoyed. The power of music
over the feelings is indeed wonderful.—
The daring soldier advancing, to -battle
gains new courage as he marches by its
spirit.stirring notes,--and the wandering
exile is consoled by, hearing again thosong
of his native land.
All ,
can enjoy music and all Could . in
some dogree make it if they were taught
in
_early life. For .went of this culttire the
musical talent of 'most persons in , this
country is lost-wand why should it not he
taught 7—taught universally in our Acad
emies and schools?
_There is no, good rea
son against it, It would not interfere With
other studies, but, on the other harid; would
form a pleasing recreation in the ordinary
routine of School duties, , Sesides f it would
open to those who profit hy 'it d sotritriofi
pleasure and delight which no misfortunes'
could destroy.
Of the present teachers, Dr. Wu. C.
CATLIN and Mrs. CATLIN, it is not neces
sary for me to speak, their exhibitions have
been public, and their reputation well
known. Nothing from me would increase
or diminish.
The next quarter commences on Mon

THE CONDITION OF THE WHIG PARTY.
As we write, the National Convention
of the whig party is in session, and the
various questions about the doings of that
body which are at this moment on every
tongue and in every mind picture with
great vividness and force the demoraliZed
and distracted condition of the whig organ
ization.
It is gravely asked, will the delegations
sent to represent the whigs of several south.
ern States he admitted to seats in the con
vention at all?
If so, will they under their instructions
feel themselves at liberty' to participate in
the proceedings of the convention?
Again it is asked, Will the convention
undertake to present any platform whatever
of party principles? Will the southern
whips withdraw- in a body 1 Will the
canvass and the nomination be in name or
form • ectional, or will some attempt be made
to bring the peace between the two sec
tions of the country, and the means of pre
serving that peace, in some shape or other
within the purview and programme of the
whig organization ?
These are the preliminary questions,
which have been much discussed in Con
gress and out of Congress, and upon any
one of which few intelligent men on the
eve of the meeting of the convention would
venture to give any positive answer. They
are questions essential to the very existence
of the whig party as a national party,
and they arise before you touch the more
difficult inquiryas to the person upon whom
the nomination is to fall.
Now, what moralforce before the coun
try can any party organization possess
whose National Convention finds itself in.
such a predicament? What is party or
ganization goodfor concerning which such
points as those above stated are admitted
to be in grave doubt?
On what ground can such an organiza
tion demand the public confidence and
support? Grant—what we are by no
means disposed to deny—that the Whig
party contains its fair share of wise .and
patriotic men, still it seems plain that in
their existing political organization, neith
er wisdom, nor patriotism, nor nationality
of spirit, holds any conspicuous place, or
exercises any controlling influence. If the
men are good men, then they are certain
ly much better than their distracted, disor
ganized, self-contradictory, and self-de
nounced party.
And now be it remembered that the
whig party has come to this pass while
the executive power of the government is
yet in its grasp. It has thus fallen to pie
ces while the whole cohesive power of the
administration has been striving to hold it
together. It has thus gone to ruin with
the work and thee - force of the chief magis
trate in its hands l.
With what hope, then, does a party in
such a condition go into a new struggle
for power 7 Under what motto, with what
war-cry, and on what ground of principle,
does it assume to place itself in opposition,
before an intelligent people, to the democ
racy as now united and einhattled7—Then.
O:J .- The Memphis Eagle, oft he 30th ult.,
relates the following particulars ofa singular
and horrible affair which recently occurred
in-that city :
Some time ago a half barrel ofwhiskey
was sold by a house in this city to a coun
try custdmer, which, on being opened af
ter it was taken lime, was found to con
tain the body of a newly-born infant im
mersed in the spirits, and in a state of in
cipient decomposition. The person who
bought the whiskey attempted to use it—
in fact did use a small portion of it—but
the taste at first being somewhat peculiar,
and on being exposed to The air, it became
so nauseating and offensive, both in .taste
and smell, as to excite suspicion. Suspl
cion led to examination, . and examination,
disclosed tho facts stated above.. The pur
chaser at once returned it to the city, to the
person from whom he Procnred it, and who
had sold it just as they received it from
Cincinnati--the 7 cask having never been
opened froin the time itieft the, distillery
until it was taken home by their customer

Presentation of a sword to Gen ,, Pleree.
On the return of Gen. Pierce from
ico, says the Pittsburgh Daily' Union, lie`:; :
was presented, by order of the Legislature:,
of New Hampshire, with a fine sword, nisei"-,
State testimonal of regard for him as one ',
of its citizen soldiers. The presentation
speech was, made by the Governor '
of the..
State, in, reply to_which General Pierce .
said:— '
I accept this splendid weapon from they
people of New Hampshire with an abiding
sense of the personal regard which has
never seemed to grow cold. May I not
be permitted to 'say., without referenee to
my political associations, that I receive Lt
as one among multiplied evidences, so far
as the men of my own time of. life is .con ,.
of something like a fraternal esteem
and confidence, which it has been my
highest purpose to merit, and is my firm.
est determination never to lose.. In the
meantime, I am not unmindful of another
and higher consideration which actuated
the Legislature : the sword, though given
to .me, was designed and received as a
token of the estimation in which you
hold the services and sacrifices of officers
and soldiers of the,. brigade which it was
my good fortune to command ; and to them
I would have the grateful thoughts of my . , .
friends turned to-day—to the noble dead—
to the mil who with their lire-blood seal
ed their devotion to the rights and honor
of the republic—to the gallant living, who
have fulfilled their mission amid the • un-
tried scenes of an eventful campaign on ti
foreign soil, are now unobtrusively and
usefully pursuing the avocation of civil lifs
at home.
Your thoughts and purposes'in this mat
ter are not circumscribed by the limits of
New Hampshire or New England. You
embrace tho 12th and 15th regiments
[from Michigan and Ohio] no less warmly
than the 9th. It will ever be a matter 'of
gratification to me, that the three regi
ments of my brigade were composed of
men from the extreme South, North, and
West of the Union; because it illustrated
in an hour of trial and danger, that unity
which is oun,strength. The question nev
er arose dunng the varied scenes of that'
summer, on what side of a geographical
line a man was born and reared; ho stood
upon the field by your side, an American
officer or an American soldier, with an Am.
orican heart—and that was enough for
any of us to know. It was a glorious
brotherhood. The highest hopes of pain
otism looks to the permanence and all
pervading power of that feeling. It is tho
panoply under which, whatever is dear
and precious in our institutions, will repose
in security. Over it may the stars and
stripes float forever.
TWO MORE WHIG FLAGSSTRUCR.
The Boston Transcript, edited by the
brother of the editor of the Republic—a
gentleman of well known intelligence and
ability—thus gives up the game if General
Scott, or anybody but Mr. Webster is to ho
the Whig nominee :
"TIIE DEMOCRATIC NODIINATION.--This
nomination appears to be received with
perfect satisfaction by the democrats ; and,
in the present state of parties, unless the
whigs put forward their reatest statesman,,_
the probability is that General Pierce will
attract to his support many whigs ' besides
conciliating the two extremes of his ma'
party. ~The Post of this morning,says:
"It is no slander to say that the presi
"dency has been and is the aim dour first
statesmen and orators ,and heroes. Yet
the plaoc sought by men so eminent now
seeks a modest private citizens of New
Hampshire. The spectacle is an agreea,
ble one. From Canada line to Calafornia
the people will turn their eyes upon it with
approbation. They will hail Franklin
Pierce as the compromise and harmony
1 candidate ; and when the democracy of
these thirty-one States are truly united,the
Whig banner goes down before them,what
ever champion shall bear it."
- Of Gen. Pierce the Transcript, in the.
same article speaks as follows :
"Gen. Pierce, so far from having been
"closeted" on Saturday, was open to con•
gratulations from his fellow-citizens of all
parties. He did not disguise his siltisfac
don at the, honor which had been bestowed
upon him by the convention, but bore him-.
self with admirable dignity, prudence, and
composure. He is a gentleman of noble
and cordial address, and would make a
most competent and patriotic Pesident. its
is useless as well as impolitic for the whip
press to sneer at him as a "weak candi
date." He will rally the entire strength
of the democracy, and prove a most for
midable candidate."
In the some spirit, the Boston Traveller,
another influential whig journal, has the
following : •
"The nomination of Mr. Pierce seems
to have put the democratic party every,
where Into a very good humor. Here, we
understand, as well as in New Hampshire.
the party will signify their joy by a na
tional salute.;and the telegraph despatch,.
es from. Was hington, and North Carolina.
and Virginia, inform us that the nomina
tion is received not merely with favor, but
with an enthusiasm which promises to re
unite the broken ranks of the democracy
in its support."
We gave yesterday the declaration of
the Boston Courier, that Gen. Scott could
do nothing against the democratic no'.
nee. All these statements taken together
give strong assurance that Aren,"oldMas7
sacliusetts' —the traditional home , of fed
eralism for the last _half century—will suc
cumb to: the pressure from without, and
vote for Gefi. Pierce, unless Mr. Webster, ,
be put in nomination against him. In that
event what are the whips to do for the zest, :
