V- nir. N ATIONAL CONVENTION. —At a
meeting ol the Whig members of Con
gress, held in the Capitol in Washington,
on Tuesday evening, it was determined
that the Whig National Convention for
fiie nomination of President and 1 iee-
Tresidcut of the I niicd States, should be

Baltimore city should he the place.
DRIED BEJ:I AND HAMS.—We had an
opportunity a few days ago of testing
some nf Kennedy's Dried Beef, and have
no hesitation in pronouncing it superior to
anything we ever procured from stores.
The prices arc remarkably low and the
pieces large, lie has also an extensive
assortment of fine sugar cured and other
Hams, Flitch, Ac., very low. Belter
give hiin a call at once.
A despatch received at llarrishurg on
Wednesday from Gree-nshurg. announces
that Hon. Richard ("onlti-r, one of the
newly elected Judges oi the Supreme
Court, died on Tucsd; v. at his residence
m Westmoreland county. Mr. Coulter
-was elected for fifteen vear-—having
drawn the long term.
FIT* There has been a superabundance
of disturbance and rowdy Km in our
streets of late, which, we fear, u ill re
quire a severe example before lore to
put a stop to. A hc:a \ tine, and an
abridgement of persona! libertv for thirtv
or sixty days, would probably do much
towards restoring order, and at the same time
give ample opportunity to the actors to
" chew the cud of reflection."
HTA llarrishurg correspond*tnt of the I
Democrat thinks the congresssional dis- ;
trict adopted by the Senate—Blair, Hunt
ingdon, Miillin and I Dion—was passed
"to satisfy the cupidity of Col. Siifer,
who may lie anticipating a seat in Con
gress. We do not believe that Col.
Siifer lias any such aspirations, either
now or in the future, and hence must set
down the speculations of " Juniata" as:
r I
" moonshine."
I \ correspondent would like to know
whether a certain political firm in this
county was not opposed to the North
Branch Canal a lew veers ago, hut now
that it possesses all the principal contracts
en that work and will linger the butt end
<d the ssoo.ooo loan, is a strenuous advo
cate of its early completion ? We don't
know how it is, hut suppose the Demo
crats can tell.

LEATHER INSPECTOR.— Win. M. Arm
strong has received his commission as
Inspector of Leather for the City and
County of Philadelphia, from Coventor
Bigler.
A decision by one of the Maryland
•Courts would scctr. to show that Mary

Governor Bigler has had quite a dine ;
• of it for some- weeks in keeping hisde:no
: cratie flock straight, and though he lec- !
tures tin-in about every other day with a
j veto, they will go on with special legis- j
; lation. A bill relative to the Court House j
lin Montgomery county did not meet his :
views, and he accordingly sent it back.
Then a bill authorizing the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to bold ninety acres
of ground at Powelion, the eastern termi- j
mis of the Columbia Railroad, the Cover- j
nor thought smacked too much of mon- j
! opolv, and he vetoed that! Next an act (
relative to a tax on the capital stock ol j
; hanks did not meet his views, and it was i
kicked back ! Finally on Monday, the ;
; batch of bank bills, noticed above, were
vetoed in a lump, the Governor having
probably become tired of writing out a
siring of objections to each. We have I
I read this message with care, and although
some of the \ iows expressed are doubtless
1 sound, the Governor we think will fail to
satisfy bis party friends, who were the
principal getters up of the above projects
that lie is right, lie admits that at the
proper time a bank might be useful at
some of the points named, but then flies j
oIF into a dissertation on the evils of an I
'• inflated currency," which we take it
means that he has strong doubts whether
his democratic fellow citizens who are ap
plying for bank charters, are competent to
manage such institutions for the benefit of j
the public, lie next puts it on the record
that the Hunk of England. " now con
tains the enormous sum of near ninety
millions of gold and silver," whilst in
France and Holland he says there is an
evident excess ! We are somewhat at a
loss to know how these facts of plenty of
money in Fngland, France and Holland
are any evidences of prosperity here, bin
Governor Bigler has so said it, and all
good democrats must so believe. Ilethen
goes on to say—
" In the I'niteil States we have a full supply, I
which is now being rapid I \ augmented by iieu
receipts. 1 '
Well, that's good news, decidedly,
though we fear the diflieultv is to find out
where the " full su ppl y" has hid itself.
In this quarter all acknowledge that money
i< extremely scarce; in neighboring coun
ts |
ties the same tiling is said, and from j
one end ol the State to the other the crv
is -hollar—so that if there is a lull supply
in the I nited States, as the Governor as
serts, Pennsylvania is very far from hiving
a lair share of it.
\\ e noticed a few weeks ago that a
German loeofoeo paper, published at
Varonshurg, Centre county, was indulging
in a wholesale denunciation of ladies and
clergymen who advocated the recent tem
perance movement, and gave it as our
opinion that its editor published matter in
German that no respectable man in Centre
county would like to father in English.
This of course touched a tender spot, and
we accordingly find that our friend ovc r
j there is down upon us in mongrel English,
together with a sprinkling of sourcrout ;
Dutch, winding up by assserting that it is
none of the business of the Chief Burgess
ol Lewistown if Ludwig Kurtz, redactcur
of the Berichtcr and Anzciger, chooses to
call preachers hypocrites and ladies Jaco
bins, bull Irogs, &c ! Well, we beg leave
to dill'er on this point, especially so far as !
the ladies are concerned, (as the preachers
can defend themselves) and think we have j
quite as much right to notice such misera
ble apologies for editorials in the Berichtcr
as he has to make covert attacks on those
i whom its conductor well knows are not
able, even if they saw bis paper, to peruse '
tiie choice epithets bestowed on them, and
what is more we intend to make it our
: business. That paper may advocate Bu
chanan and rum much as it pleases, hut
when its publisher sloops to ungenerous |
attacks upon ladies, impugning their mo
lives and actions, he must not expect to !
escape "Scott free," as we shall at least
do our part towards making it known that
a man can be found in this part of the
State, and hut one, who employs such
i " arguments." Wc will only add that a
paper containing our former notice was
mailed to the Berichtcr—if, as he says, it
was not received, it was no fault of ours.
: V Three locomotives were more or
' less injured on the railroad on Saturday
las', fortunately without lite ioss of life,
• hut one man having been hurt. Two
■ wood trains ran into each other near New
r ton Hamilton in the afternoon, and the
, night train from the west ran into some
- emigrant ears that had become detached
! 1 1'iir. a fV jght train. The conductor of
tii- latter was aslcpp at the time, but was
i woke up in a hurry ! The engines were
-> alt so ! ir repaired as to be able to proceed
die machine shops below. This makes
s eight d. -hied locomotives on the road—but
better Miiash the engines than the pas
t sengeis !
I 3'1,000. —The Juniata got on a " high j
; horse" in the early part of slie week, ami
! judging from the number of rails A..*.,
1 that floated by Monday to Tuesday
! afternoon, must have done considerable in- ;
iurv to farms above.
• '
At this place it rose gradually until it i
got across Elizabeth street, at Mrs. Nut
ter's dwelling, and wanted but a few inches
of gettintr across the turnpike in Main j
: street, below the stone bridge. Of course
all the yards and gardens back of Eliza
• beth street from llearley's Hotel to Smith's
: brewery, were several feet under water,
1 while on ilie other-side ol Elizabeth
: street it also made its way in sufficient
j quantity to cause a good deal of trouble.
! Between the furnace and .Main street, a
small building had two or three feet of
water on the lloor, and an adjoining one
was also completely surrounded. Al
: though 110 particular loss was sustained in
Lite space referred to, so far as we can
learn, vet as twenty or thirty families had
to remove everything liable to injury or
loss from their cellars and lower stories,
as well as from yards, gardens and stables,
1* . 6
to places ol security, and w ill have to
j spend a week to put things to rights, every
! one suffered more or h ss.
! The quantity of grain and goods in the
j several store-houses 011 or near tin- ('anal :
Basin, was large, and entailed considerable
.expense on each in removing them.—
Messrs. Yv attson & Jacob had a lar<fe
j quantity 01 gram 111 three or four store- j
houses, which was all removed in safety,
! having employed quite a number of hands ;
until the water ceased rising, in Kenne
dy's, McCoy's, and Biyniyer's ware- j
houses, the goods, grain Ac. were all re- !
moved front the lower lloors without sus- 1
taining any damage.
At Jack s Creek Saw Mills the upper •
dam was swept avvav, and a considerable
quantity of lumber and timber lost.
The canal sustained some injury in the
Narrows, but we learn that the repairs can
j ail be made bclpw by the end of this
' week. Such at least is the calculation.
The Susquehanna was very hio-h at
Columbia anil W rightsville, but bev ond !
the loss of lumber, Ac., we hear of no ;
j serious damage.
At Pittsburgh the water rose within
! three feet of the memorable ilood of 1 532. ;
In and around Allegheny City it is csti
mated that not less than fifteen hundred
families were turned out of their houses ;
or driven to seek refuge in the upper sto- j
: ries.
At Harper's Perry the Potomac rose as
high as the railroad bridge, doing consider- j
able damage. Some bridges on the She- '
jo <=
nandoah were carried away. At Wash
| ington Citv and Georgetown the loss is
| heavy. The Long Bridge at the former
place was swept away, together with
large quantities of lumber, wood, Ac.
| At Georgetown most of the warcitouscs
: were Hooded, causing a great destruction
of llour, sugar, and other perishable arti
cles. The Cham Bridge at the Little
falls of the Potomac, above Georgetown,
, was also carried aw"ay.

A DCKI. PREVENTED IN MARYLAND. —Not-
I withstanding the new constitution of Maryland
' declares that any citizen thereof, lighting a duel,
; or sending a challenge, shall " ever thereafter
be incapable of holding any office of trust or
j profit under the State," we see by the Sauvv
Hill Shield, that Edward I ong and Joint W.
Cri.sfie: 1, both ex-members of the State Lcgis
: laturo, and residents ot comity,
! Md , have been held to bail at Princess Anne
to keep the peace, in the sum of #lh,o () each,
I by Judge Spf nee, on the ground that h chai
-1 ienge bad passed between them to light a duel.
' It is said the affair grew out of a previous per
sonai rencontre.
' | GUN COTTON. —Experiments continue to be
• made m the fortifications of Mont/, to render

I" ; arrived at tho most important results, inas-
I much as tiic range to be procured with it, pre
-5 pared alter his system, ia much greater than
with powder, wmi a greubir certainty of the
j shot, and loss dang r of explosion during

The Presidency,
The Reading Journal rightly says that
Gen. Scott is our man if we wish to suc
ceed, and t'" Lor.ofoe.os know it! They
arc afraid ol him, and there's where the
shoe pinches! They didn't like Harrison
in 1340 ;—he was an 4 old granny,' They
abhorred Clay in 1814—because he was
a 4 gambler' and a duellist,' and Polk was
a better 4 Tariff man !' They opposed
the nomination of Taylor, in '43, as 4 not
fit to be made — he was no politician,
fought iml inns vv ith 4 blood-hounds," owned
several hundred negroes, and branded
litem like a heathen. Just now they are
great sticklers for the rights of the South,
and Scott is suspected of a leaning to
wards 4 abolitionism !' It is really curious
to note these mutations—these idiosvn
: cracies of the Opposition, periodically
manifested on the approach of each Whig
National Convention. If it he asked
why, like the heathen, they are always
4 imagining vain thiugs,' the answer doubt
less will be found in the words of the
Psalmist, given in the same chapter—
; ' Because they fear to be dashed in pieces
like a potter s vesscj, at each quadrennial
return of a Presidential Campaign.
To prove that Gen. Scott is sound 011
' the Compromise, we quote an extract of
1 letter to the Washington Republic,
written by the 11011. EDWAKD STANLEY,
of North Carolina—the same STANLEY,
who recently gave Mr. Gid dings such a
drubbing in the House, and who will
hardly be accused of sympathizing with
Northern Abolitionism in any shape or I
form, lie speaks by the card.—Hear
him :
44 It is, I believe, certain that no man can re- :
c.eive the vote of North Carolina who is not ;
known to be in favor of maintaining the Com- j
promise acts as 4 a final settlement. There is j
probably no man in the State who holds a dif- j
ierent opinion. Our greatest leader. Mr. Clay j
himself if. in answer to the prayer of millions, i
iie could be restored to health and vigor, with
all the enthusiasm which he only could excite, i
could not receive the electoral vote of North j
Carolina, if he were a candidate, and opposed |
to the Compromise bills.
But :t is due to myself that I have never said, I
and will not now say, that 1 can't and won't go }
for Scott.' On the contrary. I have always
-aid I knew he was as earnest, anient, and j
zealous a friend ol the Compromise measures 1
as there was in the United States.—/ /.,iou\ of;
MI/ own knowledge, liiat lit IMJ SO, before theirpeu- 1
sage through Congress, and afterwards, i heard j
him reprove noiti.ern men who were opposed I
to them, before they passed Congress, in such
strong terms that I thought would oti'end them, j
1 know iie is a southern man by birth. The
country knows he poured out his blood on the j
northern frontier, under the stars and stripes, !
receiving wounds, the scars of which he vet
hrut's. wtitle fightii g against England's haughty
power in the war ot fol2. The world knows j
the wonders he achieved, with northern and
southern, ca-tein and western soldiers, in that i
unparalleled march from Vera Cruz to Mexico. \
I know he is a true Republican, and has always T
been; and i have no fear that such a man
would not prove a- tiue to his country's best
interests in peace as he has been in war.
I do not believe, at this time, there is one man
in Congress, from any section or of any parly,
• ( hig, Democrat, or Free Soil, icho dots not I,note
Ctnriu/ Scott is in furor of maintaining the Com
promise arts."
Pennsylvania Legislature.
On the 15th, the bunk-lniting democra
cy of the House took up the following
bills, all of which passed finally :
To charter the Commercial Bank of Pitts
burg. Veas 50, nays 41.
To chat ter the Anthracite Bank of Tamaqua.
Veas 40, nays 4:1.
To charter the Farmers' and Mechanics' I
Bank of Ailentown. Veas 40, nays 412.
To charter the Farmers' and Mechanics' '
Bank of Carlisle—late the Deposit Bank. Veas
48, nays 'J'J.
To charter the Erie City Bank at Erie. Veas

To charter the Bank of Meadvtile, Crawford i
county. l eas 44, nay? 43.
To charter the Bank of l'hcenixville. Veas j
44, nays 40.
This is certainly a pretty good after- |
noon's work for a democratic body with
twenty majority, nearly all of whom were ;
elected for ihc special purpose of opposing '
such institutions.
The House on Monday resumed the j
consideration of the Genera! Appropriation
bill, wi.ieh was amended by inserting
provision, increasing the pay of member?
of the Legislature to the regular rate of
$3 per day, after the expiration of one I
hundred days from the commencement of
the session, anil then passed. An amend- 1
mcnt had been previously adopted to ap- !
propriate $200,(100 of the North Branch
loan to the Portage Canal.
The bill from the .Senate to authorize
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
| hold 30 acres of land in West Philadel
phia for the purpose of a depot was taken
up ami passed finally.
111 tiie Senate, on the 16th, on motion
of Mr. Slifer, the bill providing for the
erection of a house for the employment
and support of the poor in the county of
Juniata, was taken up and passed finally.
In the House, 011 the 21st, the Ap
portionment Bill was taken up, and after
considerable discussion upon it. the House,
on motion went again into Committee of
the W hole, and striking out the bill, in
serted another entirely different in its
features, which will give the Slate 11
Whigs and 10 Democratic Congressmen.
I ho bill, as amended, passed to a third
reading, and was then postponed under
the rules.

Prof re dings of Town Council.
The Town Council lias held several
meetings during the present month, from
the minutes of which we gather the follow
ing items :
DAVID BLOOM and DAVID WASSOX have
been appointed Street Commissioners, the
first named to devote his attention prin
cipally to the East Ward, and the latter
to the West Ward, but also to act in con
junction wherever necessary.
JOSEPH ALEXANDER, Esq., was re-ap
pointed Attorney.
DAVID BLOOM and CHRISTIAN HOOVER.
Esq., were appointed Regulators.
A tax of five mills is deemed necessary
to meet the expenses for lite ensuing year.
The High Constable was directed to
give the usual notice relative to Swine
and Sheep running at large, and to have
all nuisances and obstructions of all kinds
at once removed from the streets, lanes
and alleys in the borough, and if not
promptly attended to, to report the same
to the Chief Burgess, as provided by or
dinance. We take the liberty of sav ing
here, that on the complaint of the High
Constable (whose special duly it is) or of
. any citizen, of nuisances or obstructions
existing contrary to the Borough ordi
nances, we shall in every instance impose
a fine, unless there are strong mitigating
circumstances.]]
The .Street Commisioners were directed
to proceed to the repair of the streets, Ac.,
as soon as the weather would permit, and
in the meantime to contract for such stone
as might be needed.
A committee was appointed to prepare
a room in the Town llaJl for all future
| meetings.
A proposition was submitted by mem
bers of the Juniata Hose Company to
; procure a second-hand engine, at a cost of
3300, provided the Borough refund the
amount in one year with interest. They
ofler to guarantee that the engine will per
: form according to the proposition. No
action has been taken in this matter thus
far, though it is one of much importance
and demands serious consideration, as we
know from personal observation that these
machines are a most efficient agent in
furnishing water at fires.
From a circular addressed to tbe County
j Commissioners by E. W. HUGHES, Esq., Su
perintendent, we compile the following state
ment of the amount to which the several dis
tricts in MitHin county are entitled out of the
annual appropriation for school purposes,for
