As we have a considerable sum to make up during the ensuing month, we shall take them until the 20th of August, either for subscription, advertising, or job work. This notice will be sufficient, we hope, to induce persons indebted to call and make payment, especially those who have been on our books for years. - Much of our space in to-day's Ga zette is devoted to the tokens of respect called lorth by the decease of President Tav lor. The newspapers from every sec tion are thus filled, and wc venture to say that a more general expression of regret and sympathy for one now universally ac knowledged as both great and good, lias been seldom exhibited. The present week has proved very unfavorable to the heavy crop of wheat still out —the heaviest raised in this county for ten years—and well grounded appre hensions are entertaine-d that it will be seriously damaged before it can be housed.

Major General HALE, commanding the 14th Division of the Uniformed Militia ot Pennsylvania, has issued an order an nouncing the death of President Taylor, and directing that the several Armories, Regimental, Battallion and Company Col ors be shrouded in black for the period of six months, and the usual badges of mourning be worn by the Officers during the same period. £3P Information is wanted of a man named D.

PKESIDEVT FILLMORE. The testimony which we subjoin, re specting the character of the new Presi dent, will be read with interest and grati fication : The New \ ork Courier says— Mr. FILLMORE is a man in whom the whole Union may repose a lirtn ami juet confidence. His life has been, less conspicuously than Gen. TAYLOR'S, devoted to the service of the whole Union, and he is no less thoroughly than ho is national in all his feelings, in all his principles, and in all his conduct. He is familiar with pub lic affairs, and has discharged the duties of evcry stalion which he has been summoned to till, with ability, dignity and success. We feel the utmost confidence that, so far as may depend upon him, the highest duties of the great oifiee into which he has been so solemnly inducted, w ill he dis charged with the most entire faithfulness and the most patriotic devotion to the preservation and the welfare of our glorious Union. The New York Globe (l)em.) says— The talents and business qualifications of Mr. FILLMORE are of a high order, and we believe that they who hope or fear that he may manifest any sectional bias, will be disappointed. Such is our information of his opinions, indeed such our know ledge of the inan that we do not hesi tate to predict that he will give no cause for the South to continue its reproaches against the North, and atford no countenance to the fanati cal agitators of the North, lie will have a glo rious opportunity of enrolling his name high on the list of our patriots, if he but follows the course which they who know him best are con fident he will pursue—viz: that which shall soonest and most effectually tranquili/.e the pub lic mind, and insure the perpetuity of the Union. The annexed quotation in from the New York Express : Mr. "FILLMORE will prove a man equal to the times, lie is a statesman of the old school, free from prejudices, passions, extreme opinions end high excitements. He is a conservative, a national and true man, one w ho has no sectional biases, will indulge in no ultra acts and give utterance to no offensive opinions. He will, if aided by the Congress of the United States and the American people, as he should be, so ad minister the Government as to bring honor to the Aministration. peace to the country, and blessings upon the people. We hope devoutly that he may receive such aid, and that counsels of wisdom, of prudence, of moderation, of jus tice, and of patriotism may be found equally in the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government. Never was there more occasion for guidance from Omniscience, and for forbear ance aDd kindness among all our people. Mr. Fillmore has a large experience, great tolerance and a true and noble heart, to aid him in the discharge of his duties. He will be found true to the people of the whole country, and if there is any failure in conciliating the country, and in restoring order out of confusion, and peace out of strife, it will not rest at his door. We hope that Congress will harmonize with him", and co-operate with hirri in settling the many perplexed questions which now so unhap pily divide the country and disturb its peace and prosperity. In regard to Mr. FILLMORE'S opinions on slavery, we find them stated in a cor respondence that took place between Mr. GAYLE, of Mobile, and himself, in the year 1818. He avows himself in favor of the right of petition, and says : " The rule upon which 1 acted was, that every citizen presenting a respectful petition te the body that, by the Constitution, had the power to grant or refuse the prayer of it, was entitled to be heard ; and therefore the petition ought to be received and considered. If right, and reason able, the prayer of it should be granted ; but if wrong or unreasonable, it should be denied.'' lie further says— " While in Congress, I took occasion to state in substance tny views on the subject of Slavery in the States. Whether the remarks were re ported or not, I am unable to say ; but the sub stance was that I regarded slavery as an evil, but one with which the National Government had nothing to do. That by the Constitution of the United States, the whole power over that question was vested in the several States where the institutions were tolerated. If they regarded it as a blessing, they had a Constitutional right to enjoy it, and if they regarded it as an evil, they had the power, and knew best how to ap ply the remedy. I did not conceive that Con gress had any power over it, or was in any way responsible for its continuance in the several States where it existed." On the subject of the slave trade be tween the States, he says in a subsequent letter : I am not aware that this question has ever been discussed in Congress, or was ever pre sented for the consideration of the Supreme Court of the United States before 1841. in that jear the celebrated ease from .Mississippi was decided, when Mr. Justice McLean gave an elaborate opinion on this point, in which the Chief Justice concurred. lie came to the con clusion that the constitutional power over this matter was vested in the several States, and not in Congress. So far as my knowledge extends, this opinion carried conviction to every unpre judiced mind, and the question was considered settled. At any rate this was ray own opinion then, and I have seen no causo to change it since." *V S The New Hampshire Legislature has just adjourned, having chartered six new banks and granted an increase of capi tal to two old one?.

Vif "The Cholera has somewhat abated at Cincinnati, Nashville, and other western cities, but is still prevailing in all sections. A few deaths have occurred in Pittsburgh. IMPORTANT TREATIES. —it is stated that two treaties of considerable importance w.cre negotiated under the direction ol (tcn r ral Taylor just before his death, but were not concluded, and will doubtless be ap proved by his successor. One was with Mexico, for the extradition of fugitives from justice, upon the principle contained in the treaties with Franee and England ; and the other was with Peru, for commerce in <<uano, on a footing with the most fa vored nations. This privilege has been heretofore monopolized almost exclusive ly by (treat Britain. It will be of great value to the agricultural interests and "par ticularly to the benefit of several of the old Stales Tribute of Respect to (ieu# Taylor. In pursuance of a call issued by the Chief Burm ss, a meeting of the citizens of Lewis town was held at the Town Hall on Friday evening, 12th instant, for the purpose of adop ting suitable measures as a testimonial of re spect to the memory of President Taylor. At the hour named Dr. T. A. WORRALL, Chief Burgess, took the chair, and brielly announced the object for which the meeting had been called; whereupon Gen. R. C. Hale, Hon. E. Lianks, Moses Montgomery, David McClure, David llloom, and Joseph M. Cogley, Ksqrs., were appointed Vice Presidents, and George Frysinger, J. L. Mcllvainc, H. J. Walters, and It. it. Franks, Esq., named as Secretaries. On motion, the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to draft resolutions ex pressive of the foldings of the citizens of Lew istown on the sudden and unexpected demise of the patriotic chieftain who had been called by the American people to preside over their councils, viz: Col. 1). S. Elliott, Henry Sto ner, Esq., Col. John Hamilton, N. .1. Uudisil, D. M. Coutner, Win. Russell, Esqrs., and Col. W. Butler—who, after a short absence, reported the following preamble and resolu tions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas , it hath pleased that Providence who sends joy and sorrow to bless and to chas ten his creatures, by a dispensation, suddi n and afflictive, to take from this nation ZACIIARV i'A\ LOR, its Chief Magistrate. ! Jind uhtrcas. this melancholy event has cast j a shade of sadness on the face of the nation, ; and she mourns and sits in tears for the deso- I lation ol iier high place—her children meet in i groups to bewail their common loss—then is I it not beautiful and natural, is it not a mourn ful and pleasant privilege for us to give ex | pression to the best emotions of the heart, in a | feeble tribute of respect for the virtues ol the , departed—for the truly good and great desire 1 no other tribute than the few rich offerings of the heart—therefore: Resolved, that we have learned with un feigned sorrow, of the death of ZACHAKY j TAYLOR, whilst exercising the trust reposed | in him by the people of this Republic, as its Chief Magistrate; that wo deeply lament his demise as a great national calamity, and desire to unite the voice of our mourning with that of our fellow citizens, throughout the land. Resolved, that in the death of Zachary Tay j lor, this country has lost a brave soldier from i the field, a firm patriot from its councils, and an inestimable citizen from the walks of pri } vate life. | Resolved, that the unimpeachable private character of President Taylor, and his many , social virtues, his honesty and stern integrity, ! command our respect, and are well worthy U ur j emulation. Resolved, that we offer our sympathies and condolence to his bereaved family and friends, and desire to mingle our tears with those most sadly stricken by this dispensation of Divine Providence. Resolved, that to-morrow at 11 o'clock being the time appointed for the funeral of our late lamented President, our citizens he requested to close tin ir places o f business, between the hours of 11 and 3 o'clock, and that the bells he tolled during the interval. During the evening, addresses were deliv ered hv (i. \\. Kidcr, Ksq.. and Hon. K. Banks, both of whom paid a high tribute to (he noble old hero who now reposes in his last sleep. Resolved, that these proceedings he pub lished in the newspapers of the borough of I,e\v istown, and a copy lorwardedjo the family of Gen. Taylor. J. A. .Mathews, C. Hoover, and M. Buoy, Ksqrs., were then appoint H! to carry the sth resolution into effect, when the meeting ad journed. * Another meeting was held on Saturday morning at \\hieh Rev. WM. M. lIAI.L presided, and T. SI T ART acted as Secre tary, which made arrangements for holding a meeting in the Methodist Church at half past one o'clock in the afternoon. At the hour named, a large number of our citizens assembled at the church, where, after sing ing and prayer, Gen. li. C. 11 ALL. Rev. J. MOORE, and GEO. W. ELDER, de livered some brief but highly appropriate remarks, which we subjoin. The resolutions adopted by the meeting on Friday evening were generally observed —business of all kinds having been sus pended from 1 1 until 3 o'clock, during which time the streets were literally de serted, and no sound heard save the mourn ful peals of tolling bells. ADDRESS litlivercd at the 3/i thudist Church , in I.ewistoivn, Pa., July 1 'Mil 1850, in reference to the death of the President oj the ( nit id States. j BY ItKV. J. MOOKE. AN hen in the Providence of (od, death ! striken down tin; nation's head, it is natural and becoming in a religious community tocon i sidtr the event as a call, and a v ry solemn ! call to tlte people, not to he neglected or soon j forgottc n. It is a time for mourning. \\ hatever mty I lie the design ot Infinite YY isdotn toward the ' Nation in the removal of our honored and much loved Chief Magistrate, the event itself occasions a soh-mn and significant pause in ' our public alfairs, and our private affairs, also, ! which we hasten to improve. Cod has eonie near to the American Nation. ; 1 he wheels oi (Government, driving heavily of late, are arrested altogether, by the only Puw- r that can arrest them, the hand of Omnipo tenee. The prineipal one is indeed finally ar j rested—the rest feel temporarily the shock. The lesson now taught us is, not to put our trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom is no help. His breath departs—lie returns to his dust. The present is an epoch of grave, j very grave character. YV hat events are on the w heels ot I tivine 1 'rovidence who can portend? YY hile our hearts do not fail us for fear, | we cannot but seriously enquire what the end will be. Altho' no prophet, yet if enquired of, at this dark hour, what of the. night? YVe might not unreasonably say, as one of old said, the night corneth—darker days are in our national hor oscope—tho' in cheerful hope, we might ven j ture to add, the day also coincth. Life and history are hut light and shade, mingled in various degrees, and sometimes the darkest hour is just, before the dawn. Death loves a shining mark, and his arche ry has shot down the hero, the patriot, the. man of humanity, the President, around whom cluster many beautiful reminiscences—-nation al, military and civic associations, somewhat rare in real life. True, his death, considering the course of nature was not premature, for lie had rear bed a good old age, and full o! honors he has gone to the grave, l'ut cd' these wo leave others to speak. His eventful life is spent, and the page of his country's history will not fail to do justice to his valor, firmness, prudence humanity, and political and social virtues. His death removes him beyond the reach of our sympathies,.praise or censure. To him it is of small consequence to have been applauded or condemned by his fellow men—and if only prepared to die, as he said he was, in that event lie has obtained a wreath of immortal glory, and one which he will own to he of grace, and which he will cheerfully cast at his Saviour's feet. And in the victory won by him over the last enemy, will he confess the power and the glo ry all to be the Lord's, and not his own. What a lesson do we here learn! The con queror in every battle he fought, is himself as weak as others in conflict with the last enetny. Hi re, weapons of v. ar, bristling bayonets, skill in military science are nothing—patience, res ignation, faith, are every thing. What room for envy, what occasion for ri valry and competition for the honor that com eth from man is there? Reason and religion jointly say, none! That we must die we know—and the reason of it we know—humb ling to the piidu of us all is the event itself, — yet not more so than its cause. By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned! < -an place or station or age plead exemption for itself from the comprehensive fact? Norn?! What then is our consolation, and what our hope? That of the Gospel only. "That, not as the offence, so also is the free gift—for if thro' the olFenee of one many he dead, much more the grace of tied, and the gift by grace hath abounded unto many!" Die we must, may soon, may suddenly. May we obtain life and eternal salvation thro' the great medi ator. Are we riot impressively called on to con sider and lay to heart our last hour, and the solemnities of an hereafter? A whole nation should ho aroused to reflection, Cabinet offi cers, Senators, Representatives, and all sorts and conditions of persons—and much as we deplore the event that brings us hither to day, if it shall have the elfect of making men in of fice and men. out of office feel the solemnity ol death and their accountability, and effectually iireak the charm of worldly things, it will ever he remembered as having accomplished more for the best interests of the people than all the previous life of our worthy Chief Ma gistrate ever did or could. Address of H. Elder, F-q. FELLOW Cirizr.xs :—We have laid aside our business, and left a ripe harvest in the field, to meet in Uiis hallowed place—to mingle with the wail of sorrow which goes up from this nation's heart, the voice of prayer and the song of praise —for no other voice, nor any other song, is kin dred to the deep leeling which this event inspires. The alilictive providence which has bereft this land of its Magistrate—which has laid low its mighty one, 44 loosened the silver cord," and broken our curious pitcher at the well—seems to say, " This is a time for the heart to feel rather than for the tongue to speak." But whilst these States mourn their loss, the thought that " all is still well" should inspire us with the deepest thankfulness; for when the rulers of other nations lay down their power, it is often taken up soiled u ith the dust and stained with the blood of carnage, amidst the noise of battle and in sight of armies, who, sick of toil and blood, lean heavily on their spears. But we have seen no such sad drama. The sceptre of our power fell from the hand of General Taylor, who for the first time grew too we£k to wield any sceptre in the world, as noiselessly as 41 a snow flake falls upon the sod"—the pride of the highest place, and a power well suited to dazzle the eye, passed to Fillmore silently, peacefully and beautifully as a summer cloud passes from the lace of a morning sky. Born near the close of our Revolution, w hen the cradle hymns of every child were the songs of Liberty—when every mother taught the infant upon her lap that she claimed its fir-t, its purest love ; and, after hers, then came its country's claim—he appeared upon the stage of life at a propitious moment to fulfil the high destiny in store fur him. Imbued with these early lessons, after the teelings of the child had deepened into the principles of the man, is it strange that Xachary Taylor should carry through life a de votion to hia country of the most fervid kind— should ever carry into all his acts an integrity and purity of purpose which must be admired whilst these virtues, which so adorn and give loveliness to the human character, are esteemed good or beautiful among men r Nor was it strange that he enjoyed, in an unusual degree, the confidence of all parties. Even the bitter spirit of party never cast reproach upon his honesty ; if he erred, all felt that it was a frail lrtak of the head, and not the heart. His firm ness—that moral power which best separates the little lroni the great—has often been tried on the battle field, where the strong man may at times swerve, and laltcr, and fail ; but in this respect he never felt the touch of infirmity. Others might lean on his arm ; hut for himself, he relied on his own self-sustaining power. For the great and good to die, whether in public or in private life, is a subject to be mourned; hut for n Chief Magistrate to die, in whom all the elements of moral power seemed so well and so fitly blended, is a provi dence before which a nation may well pause, and with subdued feelings deplore its loss. In this time of trouble, when new and exciting questions of policy distract and divide our na tional councils—now when angry prejudices and bitter sectional feeling has made one portion of our family look with distrust upon the other—do we need the military firmness of Gen. Taylor— need his hand to pour oil upon the troubled wa ters, if that would allay them; and if not, then there would seem need for a voice like his to be beard along the waters say ing 41 peace, be still." It was the request of a great man once that no one should write his epitaph, for he said none knew him. 80 let none attempt the epitaph of Taylor, for he has himself inscribed it 011 the hearts of all the living in a dialect bright and enduring as the stars. Nor let any try to sketch the simple virtues which adorned his private life, for these his modesty concealed from men ; and let the man who writes the history of his public life, study well to lead bis reader along that bright and brilliant career which has so lately and so well surprised the world. But see the Chieftain in his last battle, 44 where the tears of the brave and the follies of the wise are seen," —hear him utter those words *0 full of truth and beauty, while his mind busied itself amid the scenes of his past life, 14 1 have always tried to do my duty"—and Hsten to those other words, so simple and so beautiful that they sound like the prattle of a child, 41 Mv onlv regret is lor the li iends I leave behind me." These were the words of that man for whose brow his coun try hal woven her choicest garlands, and 011 w hose grave she sheds her tears, " For there's a tear for all who die— A mourner o'er the humblest grave ; Ilut Nations swell the funeral cry, And Triumph weeps above the brave." * v~ Nothing is yet known about the new ( abinet, although it is generally believed that Webster, \Vinthrop, or Everett will be Secretary of State. The old Cabinet, it is supposed, will all go out. Seven persons were wounded by pistol shots in a riot at Baltimore on Wednesdav. PROtEEDIXCS OF COSiittlAS.

Russia, as the great power of the North, and next to England, the great power of the Old World, is quietly scheming over plans looking to the gradual enlargement and increased strength of her despotic power. Everything is quiet in-Germany, but it is said that a reaction is going on at a tremendous pace ; but as it is the pace that kills, it is not unlikely that some of the monarchs will break their necks in the race towards the gj'od old times. The King of Prussia has published a law virtually abolishing liberty of the press; and he of Saxony has at once suppressed the whole institution, and gone back to things as they were in 1931. In Prussia, Saxony, &c., the States have got some credit, and there is still some cash in circulation; but in Austria money has di.-nppoared. The moment some luckless foreigner brings a few gold or silver coins into the country, they vanish, and noth ing but paper money is to be seen. It is quite ludicrous, says a correspondent, to just fancy a bit of dirty printed paper, decorated with the high sounding title of " Imperial Royal Bank Note," promising to pay the bearer the enor mous capital of G kreutzers (English 2Jd)! "The history of the destiny of th; Austrian empire is written most eloquently on these slips of paper—they need no further comment."
