The last Hollidaysburg Register con tains the following letter from Hon. 8 CALVIN, by which it will be perceived that he declines a re-nomination. Imme diately 011 its becoming known, a strong determination was manifested by our lead ing whigs from all parts of the county, who happened to be in town attending court, to remonstrate against it, and letters, numerously signed, were at once forwarded to that effect. We sincerely hope that he will re-eonsider the matter, and if he can do so without a sacrifice of Jiis best inter ests, \ ield himself to the wishes of his constituents. From personal intercourse with our country friends during the present week, we are satisfied that no man in the , i district would be more cheerfully and strenuously supported, and that nine-tenths of the loeofoeos would sooner see him the representative than any other whig in it, WASHINGTON, July 21, 1850. j Dear Sir: —The time is approaching when it will become the duty of the Whigs of the 17th I District to select their candidate to represent them in the 3'2d Congress ; and 1 consider it proper to inform them, through your valuable Journal, that it is not my intention to be a can didate for re-nomination. My duty to myself ~nd family requires this step. I desire to express my sincere thanks to all those who gave to me their generous support and confidence ; and I hope the gallant Whigs of the District will be able without difficulty, to agree upon and elect a successor better able to serve them I shall consider it my duty and i leasnre to give them any aid in my power in j romoting his election and the cause of the Whig party. Very respectfully, Yours, Ac. i SAMUEL CALVIN. i J FENS JONES, Esq. tF A communication recommending : v en. W. 11. IKVVIS as a suitable candidate tor Congress, and a similar one in favor of Dr. MCCTLLOCH, of Huntingdon county, re held over until next week, by which time we presume the final determination of Mr. Calvin will be known.

While on this subject, we may as well mention that i your terms, persons not subscribers to the tluzette , who furnish communications re ommending gentlemen for office, are < iiargeable with all such communications s advertisements. Delegate Election. The County meeting on Tuesday last recommended SATCRDAY, I9ih August, as a suitable time for appointing Delegates to the Convention to assemble on Monday, the 21st, for the purpose of nominating a county ticket. We trust our friends vhroughout the county will use their efforts to have good men selected as delegates, who will have no other object in view than to advance the cause for which we are contending. It such are selected, and meet together in that spirit of eoneiliation and good feeling which ought always to govern nominating bodies, and present a ticket of true, tried, honest and capable men—-men in whom the people repose confidence—we ean enter the political are na with as fair a prospect of success as was ever presented. We know full well that all the power money can command and political trickery effect, will be brought into requisition to sustain the nominations made on Monday last, fur those who were instrumental in forning them are well .:ware that the nomination of John Ross is A I ENSI RE OX MR. ( UINONF.Y and an insult to his Jr if nils, because made with out adequate cause. Hence, though their ticket is in reality weak, we waru our friends that the " root of all evil" and other appliances will make it STRONG, and /'(pure a whiff ticket of more than ordina ''merit to butt it. Let the whigs give us m n free from ail entangling alliances, and ot high moral character, to whom we ■can give a conscientious support, and we pledge our.--ives that the Gazette will en- ! tci tin' field with a determination to carry ihe political war into the innermost re cesses of the enemy's camp. REID, locoloco. has been led Go verr. or oi NorL Carosua. ihe Lofdtofo Mffatc j Had the citizens of Mifllni county been in .Lewistown on Saturday last and wit nessed for themselves the extraordinary scenes enacted in and around the Court House by our loeofoeo brethren, not one in a thousand but would have exclaimed " Can such tilings be, and not create our special wonder!" It was in truth an ex hibition without parallel at a primary elec tion, and if it has heretofore been equalled, the memory of the " oldest inhabitant" cannot recal it. To understand the matter properly, it may be necessary to state that there are two factions among the loeofoeos, the one striving to gain, the other to retain, political ascendancy. The stronger por tion is Cameronian—the other is anti.— The caucusing for weeks past at street corners and in offices, the anxiety displayed by those more immediately interested, had pre j tared us for a " spirited" contest, but the scene as a actually occurred almost beggars description. It opened with a war of words and an anxious desire 011 the part of the captains to make " their marks" 011 each other's phizzes, and the example hat ing thus been set, the rank and lile soon exhibited a disposition to do likewise, and m several cases fell to work in earnest, ami but for the interference of some who seemed to feel that the democracy had got on more than an ordinary " spree," more blood would have llowed than has fattened the streets of Lewistown at any election within ten years. As it was, the boiling ; waters did not subside until a late hour in the night, at which time Captain Whiskey succeeded in flooring the more uproarious. No one could well help laughing at the antics cut up in this menagerie exhibition, as a correspondent calls it, yet the feeling of disgust was certainly uppermost, not only among the whigs, but the more orderly disposed among the loeofoeos. Taken al together, it was a memorable day, and will long be remembered by participants and spectators. On Monday the convention met in the Town Ilall. and the first act it performed was decapitating Mr. Ciibbonev, by nomi nating JOHN ROSS, formerly Supervisor on the Upper Division, lor the Assembly. This move created no little surprise among the uninitiated, as a great many did not even know that Mr. Ross w as a candidate for that station. The guillotine having thus been set in operation, Mr. Rittenhouse, the present Prothonotary, certainly a most worthy, competent, and obliging officer, had his head taken off under the plea of one term, Capt. T. F. M'Cov, of M'Vey town, having been named in his place.— This one term affair seems to be quite a convenient hobbv for disposing of an office holder when no other plea ean ho made. But a few years ago the principle was ap plied to a member of the Assembly from the \ alley, and he was accordingly choked ofl, and yet the very man who succeeded him obtained two terms ! Now it is again revived, and its application gives M'Vcy- town and Oliver no less than three offices, while the entire Valley has but two ! ' It was curious, very curious, to watch the programme as it developed itself. Had any one witnessed the zeal with which the dominant faction apparently supported Messrs. (jibboney and Rittenhouse, he would not have deemed it possible that they could be defeated, especially after it was understood that Capt. M'Coy had not succeeded in obtaining the delegates in his own district, comprising M'Veytown and Oliver township! But " Presto—change!"' A delegation of plenipotentiaries having visited the different parties concerned up the river, the thing was fixed, and lo ! when the convention met, it nominated a candidate for Assembly who, had he ap peared before the people in opposition to Mr. (Jibboney, would most certainly have been defeated, and put up for Prothon otary the very one who was thought to have had the least number of votes. We could not before, but we can very easily now, understand the management which brought about this Cameraman triumph. The contest for delegates o.Hlcnuib/i/ rested on the petty office of Prosecuting Attorney, and while the masses were thinking of no one hut Alexander and Jacobs, they were unconsciously working for Koss for As sembly, and M'Coy for Prolhonotary ; thus many of them who were personally in favor of Cibboncy ami liittenhouse, were made the instruments for the defeat of those gentlemen. It was undoubtedly the intention of the leaders, within a few days of the election, to re-nominatc Mr. Gibboney, but a fear perhaps that he could not be trusted when the name of Simon Cameron would be brought before the Legislature for U. S. {Senator, induced a change which resulted as before stated.— J he ticket, as it stands, may he swallowed by the faithful froin head to tail, but if the used up take it without a disposition to vomit, the my stery of straining at a gnat . and sw allowing a barn door" will no longer j he a mystery to us. ' The following is the ticket as nominated: Assembly —John Ross, of Oliver. Prothvnotary—' Thomas F. M'C'oy, of M'Vey <town. Prosecuting Attorney —Joseph Alexander, of Lewis town. Commissioner —Thomas Stroitp, of Brown. Deputy Surveyor —John R. VVeekes, of Lewis town. Auditor —Robert A. M'Kee, of Granville. Directors of the Poor —Robert Mathews, Lew istown, one year; for Armagh, Brown, Mcnno and Union, Isaiah Coplin, three years ; for Der ry, Decatur, Granville, Oliver, Wayne, M'Vey town and Newton Hamilton, John Stine, Jr., lor two years. Col. Josiah Kerr, James urns, and John Stine, Jr., were appointed Congressional Con ferees, and unanimously instructed to support Col. Andrew Parker, as the candidate for Con gress. Gen. R. C. Hale was elected delegate to the State Convention. C. C. Hemphill, Thomas H. Yanvalzah, and A. B. Norris were appointed Senatorial Con ferees. To the meeting and it* proceedings in the evening we shall pay our respects next week. iJT The editor of the Union Star, w ho has known Mr. Banks from childhood, lately asserted that the locofoeo candidate for Auditor General is a gentleman pos sessing " moderate talents, and is not an experienced accountant." On this the ed itor of the Mi (11 in town Register, who may have seen Mr. 11. half a dozen times in his life, (lies into a lit of eulogy, and asserts that— " Mr. Banks is well known as' an experienced accountant.' His reputation as un accountant and his business capacity never before was questioned by any one. Such is the confidence had in him by the people of Mitflin county, that he has been appointed administrator, and settled up more estates than any other three men in that county, and always to the entire satisfac tion of the parties. Never has he failed to perforin these duties with scrupulous and exact honesty, which together with his promptness and upright conduct in this line of business, has ju3tly earned for him the appellation of ' the orphans' friend.' " We have heretofore said that we did not believe Mr. Banks laid claim to one half the locofoeo papers say* respecting him, and he would perhaps be thankful were they more sparing of such fulsome llattery. The locofoeo editors mav give him as much proper praise as they choose —nay, we shall not even object to our friends down street eulogizing liiin with all the ardor bestowed on a new-found love —but if the Register and its kindred don't quit this soft soaping business, we shall feel bound as a friend, to advise Mr. Banks to prosecute them jor libel. EJ* The Uemocrat is certainly mistaken in alleging that strong asseverations were made by Gen. Irwin about cliques and tactions, at the meeting on Tuesday even ing. We heard nothing of the kind ! As for the tariff, a subject always ably han dled by James T. Hale, Esq., it is but a few years since our locofoeo brethren were loud in professions of being the tar iff party, and although they now prefer to foster British labor in preference to Amer ican, we should not wonder to see them turning a tariff crank a few years hence. Those who with the facility of a chame leon can change from one term to two terms, as expediency may dictate, could be at no loss in turning foi or against a tariff. Congressional Conferee fleeting. It has been suggested to us to recom mend TUESDAY, the 27th instant,at the house of WM. BROTHERS, Esq., Rcedsville, Mitllin county, as a suitable time and place for the meeting of the ('ongressional Con ferees.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT. —I)a\ id Blair, Esq., of Huntingdon, in a communication to the Journal correcting some statements that had been made by the Globe in reference to nominations, says : " I, in common with the Whig party of Hunt ingdon county, am desirous to see the re-nomi nation of my worthy friend, SAMUEL CALVIN, believing, as I do, that no stronger or better man can be selected in the District; for lam well persuaded Mr. Calvin can and will have an in creased majority over his last election, in Hunt ingdon county, of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred votes, if the right kind of a ticket is nominated by our County Convention." COI NTY NOMINATIONS. —The Whigs of Lebanon have nominated Thomas M. Ilibighause, Esq., for Congress, and J. W. Killinger, Esq., for the Assembly—a strong team both in talent and popularity. The Whigs of Adams eounty have named Daniel M. Smyser for Congress, and William M'Sherry for the Assembly. The Whigs of Union county have nominated Jatncs Armstrong, of Williams port, Lycoming county, for Congress, Ner Middleswarth having declined being a can i didatc ; Eli Slifer lor Assembly ; Jacob llaus, Jr., Prothonotary ; (Jeorge Hill, i Prosecuting Attorney; Robert G. W. I Hayes, County Surveyor ; George Heint* j bach, Commissioner. important Message from President Fillmore. The Governor ol Texas having intima ted an intention to take forcible possession of portions of New Mexico, the President has deemed it his duty to lay the matter before Congress, and on Tuesday last trans mitted a message earnestly appealing to Congress to adjust the question before its adjournment; but at the same time states that if that body fails to do its duty, he will feel himself bound by his oath of olliee and the Constitution to protect the people of the States and Territories in their lives and their property, and that he shall do so in case of the invasion of New Mexico by an armed force. He means to maintain the Union, and will do it at all hazard.— After recapitulating all the leading lacts necessary to show that the territory now claimed bv Texas was conquered by the United States forces under Gen. Kearney during the war with Mexico, anil subse quently ceded to the United States by the treaty of peace, he says: The Executive Government of the United States has no power or authority to determine what was the true line of boundary between Mexico and the United States before the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo. Nor has it any such power now, since the question has become a question between the Slate of Texas and the United States. So far as this boundary is doubt ful, that doubt can only be removed by some act of Congress to which the assent of the Slate of Texas may be necessary, or by some appropri ate mode of legal adjudication. But, in the mean time, if disturbances or col lisions arise, or should be threatened, it is abso lutely incumbent 011 the executive government, however painful the duty, to take care that the laws be faithfully maintained, and he can regard only the actual state of things as it existed at the date of the treaty, and is bound to protect all inhabitants who were then established, and who now remain north and east of the line of demarkation, in the full enjoyment of their lib erty and property, according to the provisions of the ninth article of the treaty. In other words, all must now be regarded as New Mexico which was possessed and occupied as New Mex ico by citizens of Mexico at the date of the treaty, until a definite line of boundary shall be established by competent authority. This asser tion of duty to protect the people of New Mex ico from threatened violence, or from seizure, to be carried into Texas for trial for alleged oliences against Texas laws, does not at all in clude any claim of power on the part of the Executive to establish any civil or military gov ernment within that Territory. That power belongs exclusively to the legis lative department, when Congress is the sole judge of the time and manner of creating or overthrowing such governments. The duty of the Executive is only 10 sec the execution of the laws arid the maintenance of treaties actually iu force, and the protection of all the people of the United States in the enjoyment of the rights which those treaties and laws guaranty. It is exceedingly desirable that no occasion shall arise for tiie exercise of the powers thus vested in the President by the Constitution and the laws. With whatever mildness those powers might be executed, or however clear the case of necessity, yet consequences might nevertheless follow of which no human sagacity can foresee either the evils or the end. Having thus laid before Congress the commu nication of his Excellency, the Governor of Texas, and the answer thereto, and having made such observations as I have thought the occasion called for, respecting constitutional obligations which may arise in the further progress of things, and" may devolve on me to be performed, 1 hope 1 shall not be regarded as stepping aside from the line of my duty, notwithstanding that 1 am aware that the subject is now before both Houses, if 1 express my deep and earnest con viction of the importance of an immediate de cision, or arrangement, or settlement of the question of boundary between Texas and the territory of New Mexico. All considerations of justice, general expediency, and domestic tranquility call for this. It seeins to he, in its character and by position, the first, or one of the first, of the questions growing out of the acquisition of California and New Mexico, and now requiring decision. No government can be established for New Mexico, either State or Territory, until it shall be first ascertained what New Mexico is, and what are her limits and boundaries. These cau not be fixed or know n, till the line of division between her and Texas shall bo ascertained and established—and numerous and weighty reasons conspire, in my judgement, to show that this divisional line should be established by Congress, with the assent of the government of Texas. In the first place, this seems by far the most prompt mode of proceeding, by which the end can be accomplished. If judicial proceedings were resorted to, such proceedings would neces sarily be slow, and years would pass by, in all probability, before the controversy could be ended. So great a delay, in this case, is to be avoided if possible. Such a delay would be every way inconvenient, and might be the occa sion of disturbances and collisions. For the same reason, 1 would, with the utmost deference to the wisdom of Congress, express a doubt of the expediency of the appointment of commis sioners, and of an examination, estimate, and an award of indemnity to be made by them. This would be hut a species of arbitration, which might last as long as a suit at law. So far as I aui able to comprehend the case, the general facts are now all known, and Con gress is as capable of deciding on it, justly and properly, now as it probably would be after the report of the Commissioners. If the claim of the title on the part of Texas appears to Con gress to be well founded, in whole or in part, it is in the competency of Congress to offer her an indemnity for the surrender of that claim. In a case like this, surrounded as it is, by many cogent considerations, all calling for amicable adjustment and immediate settlement, the Gov ernment of the United States would be justified, in my opinion, allow ing an indemnity to Texas, not unreasonable and extravagant, but fair, liberal, and awarded in a just spirit of accom modation. I think no event would be hailed with more gratification by the people of the United States, than the amicable adjustment of questions of difficulty, which have now, for a long time, agi tated the country, arid occupied, to the exclusion of other subjects, the time and attention of Con gress. Having thus freely communicated the result of my own reflection, on the most advisable mode of adjusting the boundary question, 1 shall, nevertheless, cheerfully acquiesce in any other mode which the wisdom of Congress may devise. And, in conclusion, 1 repeat my conviction, that every consideration of the public interest, manifests the necessity of a provision by Con gress for the settlement of this boundary ques tion, before the present session be brought to a close. The settlement of other questions, con nected with the same subject, within the same period, is greatly to be desired ; but the adjust ment of this appears to me to be in the highest degree important. In the train ol such an ad justment, we may well hope that theie will fol low a return of harmony and good will, an in creased attachment to the Union, and the general satisfaction of the country. MILLARD FILLMORE. WASHINGTON', August C, IdoO. County Hetiluz. The V\ lugs of Mifflin assembled at the Town Hall in Lewistown on Tuesday evening, 6th in stant, and organized by the appointment of E. E. LOCKE, Esq., as President; DAVID M'CLLRE, ABNKR REED, J. J. CUNNINGHAM, THOMAS WAT SON, JOSEPH CAMPBELL, WILLIAM RAMJET, GEO. W. STEWART, and R. RUSH FRANKS, Esquires, Vice Presidents; and Col. D. Stuart Elliott, C. Jlujor, and Joseph llaffly, Esq., Secretaries. On motion, a committee of five was appointed to draft suitable resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. The Chair named A. P. Jacob, George Frysinger, George \V. Soult, Joseph A. Bell, and William Brothers, Esqrs., who retired and during the evening reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : WHEP.KAS, The period is approaching when, accdrding to the established usages of the Whig party, candidates are to be put in nomination for the various county offices, for a member of the House of Representatives, and for a member of Congress in the lower House ; and WHEREAS, is necessary that a perfect organization of the party in this county should be effected, in order to secure unanimity of action and consequent success, therefore be it Resolved, That SATURDAY, the 17th day of August, 1650, be fixed as the day on which Del egates shall be elected in the various Townships and Election Districts in Mifflin county, to meet in County Convention, at Lewistown, ori Mon day the 19th instant. Resolved, That in the death of President TAY LOR the nation has sustained a great and irrepa rable loss. A Patriot, an illustrious Warrior, a sound, practical Statesman, a good and truly great Man, has been stricken down in the com mencement of a new and no doubt glorious career. We deplore this National calamity with sincere and heartfelt sorrow. His name, his glory, be longs to the American people—his example is a legacy of wisdom and honor. Resolved, That our confidence is unshaken in the wisdom and true Whig principles of MIL LARD FILLMORE. His reputation is national— his patriotism embraces ALL our country. With him the nation is safe, and his energetic and ex perienced administration will defy the machina tions of traitors or the wild schemes of political fanatics. Resolved, That the exalted credit of Pennsyl vania, the skill and economy with which her - finances have been managed, the sagacity and fearless discharge of duty on the part of the Executive, speak the strongest language of praise in favor of WM. F. JOHNSTON. Contend ing with a wily enemy, surrounded by spies, and the bright particular mark for every weapon, he emerges from the contest victorious, and extorts reluctant approbation from his baffled foes. Resolved, That the Hon. SAMUEL CALVIN has faithfully and efficiently represented the interests of this great iron and producing district; that he has shown himself constantly alive to the one only measure of relief—a protective Tariff"; that our confidence in him and respect for his talents and integrity are unabated. Resolved , That J. J. CUNNINGHAM, Esq., our State Senator, has in every respect satisfied the expectations of his friends. His constant atten tion to public business, and his watchful care for his District, deserve our warmest thanks. Resolved, That the suffering and prostrate iron interest of Pennsylvania demands imperatively a modification of the unjust and unequal Tariff of 1846. Resolved, That although Providence has with drawn from us our great leader, yet, amid all human changes, our principles change not.— They are immutable because they are true—they are the basis of our national prosperity—they will, they MUST succeed. The meeting was ably addressed by Captain THOMAS WATSON, JAMEST. HSI E, Esq., of Belle, fonte, Gen. IRWIN, and Geo. W. ELDER, Esq., who impressed upon the audience the necessity of united action in the approaching campaign, feeling satisfied that all that was necessary to ensure victory was a general turning out of the Whigs. THE CABINET.— It is now ascertain™! that Mr. PEARCE anil Mr. BATES, positive ly decline the situation offered them in the Cabinet, and it is said that Hon. M. P. GENTRY of Tenn., will be Secretary of War, and Mr. GEYER of Missouri, Secre tary of the Interior. CtT It is aunnounced in the Keystone that the Canal Commissioners are in ses sion in Philadelphia, engaged among other things, in allotting the work on the North Branch Canal. The allotment of this work seems to be a troublesome job. NEW COUNTERFEITS.—S'S on the York Bank, which appear to have been printed from a counterfeit plate ou the Ilarrisburg Bank altered, have been detected in Mont gomery county. In the counterfeit, the words The York Hank are placed in a semicircle over the \ignette, which is not the case in the genuine. Counterfeit 10's on the Farmers and Drovers Bank, old plate, are about. The die u ork generally is cloudy and imperfect. The Board of Health of St. Louis have passed a resolution, requesting all persons to refrain from the use of limestone water, and in order to prevent its use as far as possible, have had the handles taken from many of the pumps in that city. BALLOONING.— Mr. Wise, the .Eronatit, inllated his great Balloon, at Lancaster, on Saturday. An immense number of people assembled to witness it, and the passenger cars upon the Columbia railroad were crowded. After taking up passengers and letting them down again for some time, the sport was arrested by a sudden squall of wind, which capsized the balloon and burst it. Mr. W. expects to repair the damage again, and then make a trip with his family to the upper regions. On Thursday last, the lightning struck the house of Jacob Smith, above Hartle ton, and did considerable damage to it. Several ol the family were stunned bv it but none seriously injured.— Union Star.

Fur the Gazette. MR. EDITOR :—M hile the locofocos are nominating officers who were in the Mexi can war 10 profitable posts and bestowing all manner of eulogiums on them for hav ing performed well-paid duties, there is not a word ol encouragement, no note of praise, for the humble men who bore the brunt of the hardships ami fatigues of that memorable war. For instance, there is ari humble individual now in our midst who gallantly braved the dangers, privations and battles encountered by Taylor and Scott, yet he is passed by as though he had no existence. I allude, Mr. Editor, to Col. PETER KERN. Now, why is this ? lie has always heen a democrat—not one of the stay-th-home one's during war, but ever ready to shoulder his musket as a private, and do battle for his country like a true American soldier—yet those who would see so much merit in Mr. McCoy serving a short time in Mexico as an officer, can s-e none in the brave and gallant s.il dier I have named.
