Corn. Stoat tak n Possession of California
-1:J-tension :of the Revenue Laws of the United
States over that•Vountry. ,
W•SIIINGTOPt. Sept. lot. 1846.
I wrote you a week ago that onr squadron in
the Pacitic would not long remain idle, having
rece i v ed positive instruction to be up and doing.
1 nowhave the pleasure of communicating the
following important news .
Commodores Sloat entered the harbor of Mon
terey, and on the 6th of July-issued his procla
mation to the inhabitants of California, calling
on them to remain peaceful, assuring them that
he did not come as the enemy of Californir, but
a s their friends—that they are destined to form
part and parcel - of the great federal union of the
United States, enjoying the same rights and
pri
. v ileoes as the citizens of those States. They
should select their own civil officers and magi
strates, and enjoy all other privileges of freemen
o f which they are now in part or wholly de
prived. The same revenue laws should be in
force in California as in the United States, by
which means they would, as Californians and
members of the American Union, obtain provi
sions and manufactures of the United States
duty free, while all other imports would pay a
duty at least twenty-five per cent. less than is
t,ow levied on the same articles by the laws of
Mexico ; those who will not become citizens of
d ie great American confederacy, to depart in
peace with all their property, provided they lay
down their arms and remain in other respects
neutral. Ile enjoins them to retain their Alcades
and other magistrates till they should have bet
ter digested the particular form of government ,
they wish to adopt, and have had time to, elect
oilier officers in their places. All property of
private citizens, and particularly that of the
hutches, should be respected ; all supplies and
provisions paid for, on reasonable terms, and no
private prflperty, used for public purposes with
out proper compensation.
The proclamation is dated Savannan, harbor
of Monterey, and signed John B. Stoat, com
roinder-in-chicf of the U. S. forces in the Pa-
Captain Montgomery, of the - U. S. ship
rortsmorth. entered the harbor of Yerba buena.
and issued his summons to the inhabitants of
the country, in virtue of instructions from the
Commodore. The summons bears date July
9, teas..
In addition to the above news information
has reached here that Col. Fremont's advanced
pats have reached Sonoma, to the north of
San Francisco. Gen. Castro, Governor of
the Prov.nce, advanced at the head of his
troops to repulse them ; but the gallant Col.
meeting him in person, the Mexican.forces re
treated.
The Californians are greatly divided among
themselves. A junta met at Santa Barbara.
headed by Governor PiCo, proclaiming Cali
fornia an hulepentlent Republic. Hereupon
the Mexican Governor. Castro, declared the
pro ice under martial law.
Goobs.—The opening sale of the sea
hibit prices greatly reduced from those
et fact year. Printing cloths, which last year
r 7, cents, have recently been sold at .1
,rots, and yet we are told that the new mills
ri afford to make them. Calicoes have fallen
,:itictlitng like the same proprotion. The
times are now quite as low here as in England
for common goods. Woollens too are very
c'leap, and our manufacturers hate acquired
such skill that they make, a beautiful casstmere
by 55 to 75 cents, and.yet save sometliing.—
There is nu fear of England, France or Germa
ny. nt such a market. Whether these prices
are !hr consequence of the excessive action tin
der a high tariff, or the apprehended influence
of a lower one, we cannot say. The low pri
ces which both Protectionists and Free Pra
yers have predicted as the consequence of high
proiertion, have come about and are present
with us. —Journal of commerce,
This is a very importaw matter to every con
sumer in the country—a reduction in the price
•of articles they extensively use of more than
/oily per cent. We do not bear that the wa
ges of the work f men employed in these factor
ies haven been reduced in the least. The re
duction in the prices of the articles must there
care come from the manufactureres profits.—
still, ills said, that they can afford to make
goods at these prices. This shows that the
cotton manufacturers of this country are fiXed
upon s tirm basis, and may now defy the com
petition of any one.

Proceedings or the Liberty Convention.
held in the Moro' of Towanda, Sept. 5, 1816.
GILES M. De WOLF was elected President and
J. W., iNGLIAM Secretary.
The following resolutions were discussed and unani
mously adopted.
Resolved, '!'hat the highest of all the enjoyments of
life, and the dearest of its pleasures grow out of person
al liberty, to which the Creator of Earth and Heaven
has given to every man an inalienable right by nature.
Resolved, That the fundamental principle upon
which all republican governments should be based, and
the foundation of all republican institutions, should be
the right of every man by nature to personal liberty,
and the equal rights of every citizen in their persons
and property and its -aanagement.
Resolved, That the declaration of our fore-fathers
to the world in 1776, that all men were created free, and
equally entitled to liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
is the grand principle upon which our federal republic
is based.
Resolved; That the powers of the federal government
of the Milted States of America, instead of being exer
cised for the promotion of personal liberty, the establish
ment of justice, and the extension of the area of free
dent, have been wielded by the Whig and Democratic
parties, for Abe suppression of personal liberty, the de
struction .of natural tights, and the extension of the
area of slavery.
Resolved. That the war which our nation is new
waging with Mexico, owes its origin to the insatiable
cupidity of the slave power to strengthen slavery by the
annexation of Texag, and is, in our opinion, a national
calamity ; visited upon us for wrongs done to the African
race.
Resolved, That the organization and success of the
Liberty party, will not endanger the permanency of the
Union, or the rights of Southern men, in their person
or property, hut will secure both by the abolition of
slavery, wherever the power of the ballot, and the will of
the people can legally accomplish it.
The followinz persons were nominated as Liberty
candidates:
Congress—G.F. Horton.
Senator—G. N. De Wolf.
Assembli—John Keeler, J. W. Ingham
Commissioner—Daniel Coolbaugh.
Auditor—John Bolles.
EATON, THE PEDESTRIAN.—This old man
completed his task on Wednesday, of walking
1000 miles in 1000 consecutive hours. He is
a wonderful , walker. He walked in 1818 a
quarter of a mile in a quarter of an hour suc
cessively, for six weeks ; 1815. 1100 miles,
at a mile an hour; 1816, 1100 miles, begining

COMPLIMENT TO AN AMERICAN SEA CAPTAIN.
—The British Government has sent a gold
medal to Captain Daniel P. Upton, of the ship
Governor Davis, belonging to Train & Co's
line of Liverpool packets, for his noble and hu
mane conduct in saving the lives of the crew of
the British ship Glenview, on a passage from
Liverpool in 1845. The same Captain, last
winter, in the Governor Davis, from N. Or

ItiMMERY OF GERMAN EMIGRANTS AT AL
RANT.—A family of sixteen Germamernigrants,
in company with others, on their way to the
West, took passage cin the steamboat Oneida,
I . or..llhany. last Saturday evening. When they
arrived, on Sunday morning. they took accom
modation at a German boarding house on the
dock. IV hile waiting, for one of the'canal boats
for Maid", on which they had taken passage.
theft whole stock of money, amounting mahout
250, was stolen out of a small willow basket
in the hat. worn. The har-kireper and several
others have been arrested on suspicion.
FROM SANTA FR.—Several Santa Fe traders
arrived at St. Louis last week, They brought
between fifty and sixty thousand dollars in spe
cie. They represent the travelling on the prai
ries as good, and the grass in excellent condition.
The news is not later than previous adt ices:—
The people of the upper provinces genendly
are lepresenteo as being favorably disposed to
wards the government and people of the Unite]
States, and inclined towards a political alliance.
NEW YORK AND ERIE RAILROAD.—An in
stalment of $l5 is called for on each share on
which the payments already made do not ex
ceed twenty dollars. The directors advertise
for proposals for the construction 01 133 miles
of the Erie Railway, extending from Port Jer
vis, in Oringe county, to Binghamton, in
Broome county.
SINGULAR DEATH AT NIAGARA FALLS.—Mn
Smart, of our city, on Monday. went with a
friend into the "cave of the winds." He at
tempted to climb a rock near the mouth of the
cave, but slipped, and was seen lying on his
back. Assistance was procured, lint he was
dead. It is thought that he was suffucare'd by
the rush at wind. •
JAYNE'S HAIR TONIC
We have heretofore 'numbered ourselves among those
who believed that the '• Hotr Tonic" prepared by Dr.
Jayne, was one of the many quark nostrums whose vir
tues are never seen beyond the fukonie pulTs of their au
thors. We arc willing, at length, to make public ac
knowledgments of the error of our belief. An intimate
friend, some two or three months since, all the top of
whose rraninm was as bald as a piece of polished marble,
maugre all our jesting and ridicule of the idea of attempt
ing to cuit;rafe so barren a spot, purchased a bottle or
two of the Ilair Tonic from Dr. Jayne, and, according
to his directions, applied it. During the present week
the same friend ushered himself into our presence, and
uncovering his hitherto naked bead, astonished us with
a thin, tho' luxuriant growth of hair, from one to two
Mae% in length—upon the very premises we had be
lieved as unyielding to cultivation as the trackless sand
thavalcirts the Atlantic. This is no puff, but is religious
ly true, and to those who doubt, the gentleman eats be
pointed out. What is more in favor of this "Tonic,"
the cash here cited was not one of temporary baldness—
no sudden loss of the hair—but was one of years stand
ing. though the gentleman is but forty-five years of age.

mer one in quantity, quality and low prices. Their
present stock having been selected with great care, and
bough! low; they will endeavor to give their customers
better bargains for Cash or Produce than can be had at
any other establishment.
Their assortment being complete. it would be useless
to particularize articles, but would just say that their
stock consists of a full supply of Dry Goods, Groceries,
Crockery, Hardware, Dye Stuffs,Drugs, Hats, Bonnets,
Boots and Shoes, &c., &c.
The above stock shall be sold at prices that will give

enabling the former to sell his produce at a better rare,
and the merchant to sell his goods at lower prices than
he can do on credit, therefore will adhere to the Ready
Pay System. We do not ask you to call and see our
goods first, but examine others first, if you please. and

ARRIVAL OF SUMMER GOODS,

THE'subscribers arc now receiving and opening a
very large supply of seasonabl. GOODS, which
they are anxious to yell on the most favorable terms for
ready pay.
They are fully determined 150 t no one shall sell Goods
cheaper than they. Having taken much pains in the
selection of their goods—and as many articles of mer
chantlize have fallen off in price since spring purchases
were made, they confidently believe they can offer
some inducements to those who wish to buy cheap
gaud, they will not readily find elsewhere, especially a
stores that purchased their goods early in the season
!twill take but a moment to drop in and examine some
of their cheap Goode. Such as
'Good 'Brown Muslin, 7 cents per yd.
Calicoes, 7 do.
Very good Prints„ Dial 2& 15 per yd.
Brown Sugar. 7, 8 & 9 cents per lb.
Good Molasses, 30 rents per gallon.
Green Tea Imm I2i cents to $1 per lb.
And all other articles in proportion. They do not
like to say they will sell "eh , aper . ' and "more" "goods"
than any body else. That would seem too much like
bciasting; but they will say distinctly, they ecru. 'COT
be undersold; and, will also gay to their Lumber and
Produce customers, that they have the most entire con
fidence that no fault will be found with the price of
Goods. If thee only bring in their Lumber and Pro.
duce, they will find goods as cheap as where they sell
exclusively for CASH!
Thiry do not consider it necessary to enumerate all
or any of the articles they have fir sale. Suffice it to
say, their assortment is now full and complete. Call
and examine for yourselves.
