Lancaster, July 25, 1848.
Death of Francis R. Shunk,
This afflictive event, expected for weeks’ has at
last transpired. On the evening of Thursday-last,
this great and good map resigned his spirit, to his
Creator, in the full hope of a blissful immortality
beyond the grave. •At about 11 o'clock, on
"Wednesday night, his hands and arms began to
grow cold. By Thursday morning, death's icy
hand had been laid upon his lower extremities.
Stimulants proved unavailing. By slow, but sure
advances, the cold King advanced to his heart, anil
at a few minutes before 7 o’clock, Thursday even
ing, his spirit was released. His family ahd rela
tives, the heads of departments, his physicians, his
spiritual advisers, and a few personal friends, were
v present at the final moment. His last words were
addressed to his weeping wife -Don't fnt , Jane 1
am anxious for the end." :
Francis R. Skunk .enjoyed a degree of popu
larity among the people of Pennsylvania which has
never been surpassed. Of the many distinguished
men who have graced the Commonwealth, no
one was ever more universally beloved. His
de&th, although not unexpected, will cast a pro.
found gloom over the public mind. To see one so
strong in the affections of his fellow'-men, with an
* intellect so well trained, a judgment so mature, a
purpose so pure and upright, gradually wasting
from incurable disease, and this at a moment when
’ the highest interests of the State had been com
mitted to his charge—were circumstances well!
i calculated to overwhelm the mind, and fill it with
emotions of the deepest sorrow.
Great consolation, however, there js in the
thought, that our departed Iriend had been permit
ted to reach lull-meredian oJ his fame, and that
a general acknowledgment of his public and private
worth has followed him to the tomb. It is rather
for ourselves, than for him, that we are summoned
to the offices of grief. He has escaped frpm ar
duous cares and trying .duties, whilst we are left
behind to mourn the loss of his services
proud epitaph! thus to be lamented, and it is not
exaggerated praise to say, that the memory of
Francis R. Skunk will long be enshrined in the
hearts of Kis fellow-citizens as that of the truly
good man, who was called hence at the moment of
his brightest reputation and of his highest usefulness!
Beautifully have his life and death exemplified the
lines of the poet:
“ So live, that when thy sununons conies to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in .the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his coucli
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
Governor Skunk was buried on Sunday last, ac-
cording to his own request, at the Trappe, Mont
gomery county, his place of nativity. The funeral
procession, starting from Royer's Ford, was l£
mile in length, numbering IS7-eamages. It is es
timated that from 5 to fi.OOO persons attended the
funeral.
The funeral sermon, was preached by Rev. Mr.
Miller, stated pastor of the Lutheran congrega*
tion at the Trappe. Mr. M. stated that Governor
Shujlk was born on the 7th of Aug., 1788. near
the church-yard, and had taught an English and
German school within a lew yards of the spot
where his remains then rested. Gov. S.. conse.
quently died within a few days of the completion
of his 00th year. After further exercises, the coffin
was deposited in the vestibule—then opened, that
the people who had known him in life so well and
respected him so much, might have an opportunity
of viewing him in death. A continuous stream ol
people, for more than an hour, entered at one door
and passed out at the opposite, to pay their last re
gards to their late respected Governor.
The Brave Volunteers,
We are proud to state, that Lancaster lias not
been behind any of her sister cities in extending a
cordial “ Welcome Home ” to those chivalric spirits,
who have just returned from the high mission of
fighting their countrytis battles in a foreign land—
and who, under the blazing sun of Mexico’s tropi
cal shores—upon the highest mountain passes—on
arid plains, and.in stone-begirt cities—have planted
their country's flag in triumph, returning with re
covered Peace as among their proudest trophies.
The company first to be greeted were the '• Siork
ton Jlrtillei’ists” of Mauch Chunk, Capt. Miller,
who came on Tuesday. They were met at Diller
ville, by an escort, composed of the Mayor and
others, and marched to the depot, where a colla
tion was in readiness for them. They departed with
the same train, leaving our citizens no time for fur
ther displays of their gratitude.
Saturday, however, was the gala-day—and the
old city has rarely presented a more thrilling spec
tacle. A dense mass of citizens crowded our
streets, to receive the Ist Pennsylvania Regiment,
on their way to Philadelphia. Amidst the roar of
cannon, the merry peal of bells, the shrill fife and
spirit-stirring, drum, the waving of handkerchiefs,
and every possible demonstration of joy, they en
tered the city. At the depot, in the presence ot
assembled thousands, they were welcomed in an
eloquent and patriotric address by Hon. Ellis
Lewis, which was eloquently responded to by Gen.
Patterson, Col. Wynkoop, Lieut. Col. Black, and
Capt. Small. Before repairing to their several
quarters, they marched through our principal
streets, attracting the wonder of thousands. They
remained here over Sunday, and at 3 o'clock on
Monday morning started for Philadelphia—where
a most brilliant welcome was in store for them.
Honor and Gratitude be lorever the portion
ot the brave men, whose deeds of bravery and cour
age have ended in a blaze of glory this just and un
avoidable war.
JCrA r QABS AND Butler Hickory Pole, cut in
'the woods of Moore Connell, Esq., in Leacock,
was raised on Saturday, in front ofp. Snyder's tav
ern, corner of East King and Middle sts. Speeches
were delivered in the evening by the gallant Capt.
Small and by Col. Florence of Philadelphia.
. Fatal Accident.— On Saturday last, a son oi
Mr. John Baumiller, of this city, aged about 10
years, was so badly injured by a car running over
one of his legs, that he died from his injuries on
Sunday morning.
JP"* Among the returned from Mexico, looking
.well, is our townsman, T) r . A. Cassidat, who in
Ris office of Assistant Surgeon has won golden
opinions from the soldiers.
JO-Our City Councils Wfwith commendable
propriety, appropriated *350, to defray the ea
pense of receiving the volunteers.
Onr Choice for Governor.
Prior to the assembling of the State Convention,
we hold that every Democrat possesses the un
doubted right to urge hia personal preference, by
all honorable and proper means. When this is done,
calmly and dispassionately, without resorting to
abuse of rival candidates, it is productive of no
harm, but often of much good.. Free inquiry and
free discussion are among the important elements
of Democratic success, and ho aspirant for popular
favor should hesitate to subrhit himself to this
wholesome ordeal.
As an humble laborer in the good cause—solici
tous only for the perpetuation of its principles,
through the agency of good and true men—we
have likewise our view of the future, and no false
diffidence shall deter us from their prompt and un
restrained utterance. On -a survey of the entire
ground, both of personal and sectional •competition,
we have reached the conclusion, that ho name
would be more acceptable as the Democratic can
didate for the office of Governor, than that ot Col.
WILLIAM BIGLER of Clearfield county. We
accordingly' this week raise his name' to our mast
head, only to be lowered when commanded thereto
by the authoritative voice of the State Convention.
If geographical claims be consulted, certainly no
section of the State is so well entitled to this honor
as the ,l glorious North, which from time immemo
rial has greeted us with an annual avalanche of
Democratic majorities. On the score of personal
and political merit, too, no man comes better re
commended than Col. Bigleh. He is by profession
a printer—having commenced his political career,
at the early age of 19, as editor the Clearfield
Democrat. He is the architect of his'own fame and
fortune, having risen in the world without the ad-j
ventitious aids of family wealth and influence. In
15?4lhewas nominated as the Democratic candi
date lor the State Seriate in the district now repre
sented by the acting Governor Johnson, and he car
ried it by,-31941 majority! In his own county,
where the Democratic majority is usually only
from 1.9 u to 2uri, the vote stood : for Bigler 1400
—against him 1! Such is the endorsement he
brings from his immediate friends and neighbors.
Col. Bigler's moral character is not only pure
and unspotted, but he is beloved by all who know
him for his exemplary and unobtrusive' virtues.—
He is in the meredian of life, with his physical and
intellectual faculties in their fullest vigor. As a
Democrat, he is sound, reliable and consistent, free
from faction of every hue and kind, and would
faithfully prosecute to completion the reforms so
well begun by Governor Skunk. It is our honest
belief, that if nominated on the 30th of August, he
bear our time-honored flag forward to a certain
and brilliant triumph.
C'ass ! BuTLF.n ! and Bigler ! Why there’s a befit
ting euphony in these watchword?, that will send
a thrill of horror through the domain of whiggery.
trom which it will never recover. It is a flag,
rich in the resources of popular enthusiasm-, and
redolent of victory.
Tribute to SliunU.
A meeting of the Young Mens Democratic Asso
ciation ot the city of Lancaster was held at their
hall, on the evening of Friday, July 21. John W.
Jackson in the chair. William Wilet, secretary.
On motion, George F. Meeser. E. W. Hutted
George,A. Miller, Washington Baker. H. B. Swarr
M D. Holbrook and George W. McElroy w/xt ap
pointed a committee on resolutions, after a
brief absence, reported the following, jvhich were
unanimously adopted: T.
It having pleased the Divine Will,;to remove to
••another and a better world ' our
State Executive, Francis R. Skunk, who by a
long life of usefulness and patriotic devotion to the
public service, had justly endeared himself to his
grateful and admiring fellow-citizens—Be it. there
fore,
Resolved. That, in common with our republican
triends, every where, we mourn the departure of
FnANcis R. Skunk as an irreparable public loss,
leaving n void which it will be difficult, from any
resources of virtue and patriotism, to fill.
Resolved. That whilst Fiiancis R. Skunk com
bined in his character all the virtues of a fearless
Patriot and enlightened Statesman, we class among
his highest excellence his unbending devotion to
the principles oj Democracy, of-which he was ever
one oi the ablest, purest, firmest, and most consis
tent advocates.
Resolved. That we shall deem it cause of public
felicitation r all our future State Executives treas
ure the example of the lamented Ex-Governor, as
affording, like that of the venerated Simon Snyder,
a model fit for imitation.
Kcsolvvil. That in manifestation of our profound
respect lor the memory of the illustrious deceased,
Tlall ol this Association be shrouded in mourn
ing for the space of thirty days.
Resolved. That a copy of the foregoing proceed
ings, with the assurance of our sincere condolence,
be transmitted to the bereaved members of the
family.
Rrsolved That Benjamin Cuampnets, Esq , be
requested to deliver a Eulogy on the deceased, at a
time and place to be hereafter designated.
On motion ot James Boon, Esq., it was
Resolved. 1 hat the church bells be tolled whilst
the remain-; of the Ex-Governor pass through.the

Mr. Buchanan —the Governorship.
From the Daily Pennsylvanian of Thursday.
The able editor of the -York Gazette alludes to
the contingency of the nomination of James Bu
chanan for the Gubernatorial chair, and this, it
will be seen, in terms of eulogy such as show the
high sense of the merits of that wise and well
poised statesman. He is right, however, in suppos
ing that James Buchanan is not. and will not be, a
candidate for this high position. Such, we know,
has been his own invariable response to the numer
Otis letters which have been addressed to him upon
this subject—and such, we are sufficiently author
ized to sav, is his unalterable decision. To the nu.
merous Democratic journals that have suggested
his name, we know it will be enough to say that,
as he began, so will he close, with the present Na
tional Democratic administration, the acts of which
ire destined to shine upon the pages of history
through all coming time. Grateful for the ardent
md : devoted support of the Democracy of his na
tive State, this distinguished Pennsylvanian has no
desire to interfere with the aspirations of those able
and well-tried gentlemen whose names are pressed
in connection with the Gubernatorial office.
PYom the Reading Democratic Press.
Hon. John Ritter—declines!
Among the names brought forward by the De
mocracy to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Francis R. Shunk, is that of the Hon. John
Emitter, and we know of none that has been more
favorably received or who would be more cheerful
!y supported by the Democratic Party. We regret
to see in the Saturday paper, that he positively de
dines being a candidate. There are but few men
in Pennsylvania, who do not know him as a firm,
straight-forward democrat of the Shunk and Snyder
school, one who has been the coadjutor and cotem
porary of these great and good men, and who
would carry out the letter, spirit, and principles of
the Democratic party. Old Berks is rich in this
material—her democracy are unswerving in the
pursuit of right, and wherever a man is wanted to
meet the crisis—or a majority needed to beat the
enemy—the State looks to Old Berks to furnish the
man and to do her duty. The name of Gen. Keim
alone remains her choice, and upon no one could
the Democracy of the Keystone unite with a great
er majority than upon him.
Raising the Flag.
The Centre Democrat, the Brookville (Jefferson
county) Democrat, the Lewistown True Democrat

can, have simultaneously hoisted the name of Col.
Bigler for Governor. „ I

paper, has also raised the Bigler flag. I

Obituary.
PIED.—On the lCth of April last, on board the
sUip Gloriana, bound liom Calcutta to London, in
the 36th year of her age, Mrs. CHRISTIANA M.
SCOTT, wife of Rev. James L. Scott, Missionary
at Futtehgurh, in Northern India, and daughter of
the late Rev. W. F. Hocstosr of Columbia.
Mrs. Scott was one of a little hand of missiona-
ries who sailed for Northern India, from Philadel
phia, on the 13th of October, 1838,. under the di
■'ction of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis
jns. Endowed by nature with a mind of vigorous
id superior cast, and great decision of character,
id early devoted to God, she was eminently qual
?d for the arduous sphere she had selected. Long
fore her departure to a foreign land, her labors
long the destitute and neglected at home, gave
lication of those traits of character which aftef
irds led her to devote herself to the work of car
ng the gospel of peace to the Heathen. Many
idents will be remembered by those who knew
’ we N> which foreshadowed the career which she
isequenlly marked out for herself, and which, so
ig as health and strength lasted, she unshrinking :
pursued. /
Once satisfied ol' the call of duty, her resolution
is piomptly taken. With a faith in the proVnises
God which knew no wavering, with a,-fesigna
n to his will which allowed no murrpfir, with a
1 devotion to his cause, in which there was no
serve, she entered upon her course 7 with iinnuess
1 persevered unto the end zeal,
he climate ol India, which 4ias proved so fatal
the energies of so many American ladies, diu hot
many years impair the .vigor of her constitution.:
2 was enabled to labo/ long and earnestly in the
id she had chosen. \w her school, in her'family,
deb was necessarily large, and in the assistance
she rendered the gentlemen of the Mission in their
translations intp'the language of the country, which
she had speedily acquired, her energy and industry
found a boundless sphere of action. But there is a
limit power ol physical endurance which no
zeal ca.ti extend: and in the winter of IS4G-7, the
offejjf ot overtasked energies manifested itself in
do?eases“of the lungs.
Her physician prescribed an immediate change
oi climate as absolutely necessary, prohibiting a
longer residence in the plains of India us certain to
prove fatal. She accordingly set out for Simlah. a
missionary station on the Southern slope of the
Himalah mountains, live hundred miles North-west
ot Futtehgurh in March, 1840, where she spent the
summer. Ihe sacrifice of selfish considerations,
which characterized all her actions is evident in
the circumstance that in this journey and residence
at Simlah, she refused ’to draw her husband away
from his labor to accompany her. It is a formid
able journey for a lady to take alone,*' she writes
to a friend, “ but many do it, and why should not
I 1 home ol our brethren are disposed to blame
Mr. Scott for allowing me*to go alone: but I think
in this they forget their calling. Mr. Scott is in
excellent health, and has a most important field of
labor: and just because it would save us the trial of
parting and be more pleasant to go as a family,
where we could all enjoy the fine mountain air, is
it his duty to desert his post 7 We think not.” An
examination of the lungs at Simlah by a distin
guished physician confirmed the opinion previously
entertained of pulmonary disease, and, under his
advice, she reluctantly determined to return to this
cpuntry as the only means of prolonging .her life.
Her health, however, continued to improve under
the influence of the bracing air of the hills,.and
she returned to Futtehgurg in October somuclfbet
ter that her friends were induced to hope that she
might live for many years. It was at first deter*
mined that Mr. scott should accompany her home
but finding herself so much improved in health and
strength and unwilling to withdraw her husband
from his important post until a substitute could be
provided, with that spirit ot self-sacrifice, which
has been before remarked she resolved’to make the
formidable journey alone- Her excellent husband
writer- to a friend •• 1 commit her to the care *bf God,
who will take better care of her than I can do.
I feel confident that he will raise up friends for her
on the way and will bring her home to you in
safety. You must not think, however, tha’t I send
;her unwilling to go. It was her own proposal and
'h still her own wish.”
She sailed from Calcutta on the 29th of January
l£4fc. in the British ship Gloriana for London,
with two of her children, little girls of eight and
six years, and a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Freeman,
a brother missionary. Up to the time of her sail
ing her symptoms continued to improve, and it was
supposed that the sea voyage would do much to
wards her recovery. Her triends were confident
that she would reach this country in the present
month with confirmed strength ; but the insidious
disease which was preying upon her., and which
appeals to delight in deluding the hopes of its vic
tims, and those to whom they are dear, was working
steadily, though unseen. Ow the 25 of .March the
vessel arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, where
she landed and spent a lew days on shore. From
some cause, not known, her disease which, previous
ly, had been remarkably quiescent, developed itself
with fearful activity, and on the 19th of April she
kept her bed never more to rise from it. She grad
ually’sunk away’ without pain and calmly breathed
her last on the evening of the loth ot that month,
the Sabbath. Her friends have had assurances

Columbia, July 7, IMS.
Bolters in tlie North.
Of the eleven whig papers published in New
Hampshire, four refuse to hoist the Taylor flag
viz: the Manchester Crisis, Exeter News Letter
Amberst Cabinet, and Claremont Eagle. The first
declares its course in the following terms :
“ When Gen. Taylor ia informed of his nomina
tion, he will probably, according to the custom of
candidates, give, in connexion with his acceptance
the grounds on which he consents to be the candi
date of whig party. Then, if he appears to re
present what we have always believed to be whig
doctrines, we shall most willjngly support him. If
on the other hand, he makes no clearer exposition
of his political belief, he can never have our uofe.”
lET General Cass I know very well, and I have
no persona! unkindness towards him. I have been
an inmate of his family in foreign countries and
have always found him to be an amiable, kind
hearted man. For aught I know, his personal
character is unimpeachable.— John Van Buren.
TYF-'l'rue republicans can never lend their aid
and influence in creating geographical lines in the East
West, North or South. r> So said the democratic
national address in 1985, when Mr. Van Buren was
first nominated—and which was signed by Silas
Wright It was true then, and it is true now. ’

The Gallant Dead. /
Both the Pennsylvania regiments have /bought
home with them,;it appears,.the of those
of their gallant companions, who fell/in battle or
died on the march from fatigue, the hospital
from disease. May they be buried with all'the
honors of war, and followed tty'their final resting
place by crowds of their graceful countrymen.
■ As these precious remaips are borne to the house
appointed for all the livibg, let those who are left
behind—-the friends surd relatives of the gallant
dead—-ask of themselves, what the epitaph upon
the tomb of the dejforted shall be?
Shall it be that the lamented heroes " fought in
an ungodly war'**
That in ,; an unjust war?"
That thpy fought in “a war of ambition and
war for plunder
That the Mexicans are * : to be applauded for
killing them ?"
Recollect it, friends of the gallant dead. -- One
pr all of these mottoes you inscribe upon the tomb
ol the departed by voting for the anti-war part)',
which'has seized upon General Taylor as its can
didate. \ou cannot vote for him without sustain
ing them, and endorsing their conduct. Unfortuna
tely they are indivisible—one and inseparable; and
how ever much you may feel inclined to reward
him, you cannot do so, without at the same time
rewarding those who have opposed the war. misre
presented its objects, and protracted its duration—
the very men who, per force, must regulate and
control General Taylor, who confesses Jus utter
ignorance of the whole science of Government.
Friends ot the glorious and gallant dead ! Choose
ye.- Father to vote for the party that maintains
the war and defended its heroes, or to insult those
who died for country by voting for the candidate
of the party opposed to the war.
will inscribe no unworthy epithet upon .the
tomb of the departed soldiers !
