DEMOCRATIC NontiaTri7iioss. TOR GOVERNOR, If RANCIS R.' SHUNK, 4 OF AuxoutoT cu'Ogrit. FOR' CANAL .COMMISSIONER: ...OF SIONICGOITERY COMITY. Thy Mellon for GOlTlffief. ' The Boston Post says, "Irvin, the Whig candl date for Governor, can never succeed in Pennsylt • yenta: Ile voted in Congress against the bill to red fund den. Jackson's fine." But this is not the only reason WEIY he 'Cannot succeed -=though this, of itself, ought to-be a sufficient reason for Abe people. of this State to withhold from . - him their support ln-thts -measure he acted with the Federal party; es he has always done, and as he still does, in nil their most obnoxious treasures. • James Irvin,..the Federal candidate for Gover nor, was a friend 'of the old IL S. Bank, anti a stM porter . of the . Swindling machine which sptung from it, known as the United States Bank of Penn syltridia. By means of this villainous concern, hundreds and thousands of poor men in Pennsii vanitv Were robbed of their hard, earnings, to stp pig% the pride of idle drones, who were too lazy to re.sckt to an honest employment for subsistence. The people owe him no gratitude, for his support',, of that rotten and corrupt institution. - After the . failure of the favorite of his political associates, he was among the foremost to attempti to fix upon the country another similar concern,; the corruption Of which might have been rendered', far more dangerous than that which had &sea* expired in its corruption; and although the Execu-; tive for whom he had , voted, and who camh . t intw power in anti bank man, had vetoed this new, scheme of political villainy, James Irvin -Voted against the veto, and to give existence to another "Fiscal Army," caret:dated, from its ,direct _con nexion with the Government, to prove more infa mous than the old.Eank had been. • Mr. Irvin has sustained the,Pederal party all its most obnoxious measures. When the Coun try, by Federal schemes, had been brought to a condition unparalleled in our history--when the produce of the farmer bad been raised to double its ordinary price, and far beyond its value-4.,when the price of land had -become high, beyond any thing ever before known--from an inflation Of the paper money system; and when "the rich and, well-bom" (according to the estimation of Fede ralists) were in danger of losing all-which their swindling speculations had secured for them, un less some plan of salvation should be . adoPted for them ; when the poor, through whose labor they had been enabled to obtain their itrimen were in want, and suffering for their rightfuldues, this sarry Mr Irvin came to the lid of the specu lators, and by voting for the Bankrupt'Law of IS4I, sanctioned the principle t'irttially contended for by, his great leader, Daniel. Webster, that if the government take care. of the. rich, the rich Will take care of the poor. But the catalogue of his political inictuities is but commenced, when we have noted these three odious violitti ms of the will and the rights of the, mass of the People, Janiep Irvin has showed his determination to "sink or swim, live,'or die" , with the Federal aristocracy, and sustaining their interests; whenever an opportunity has been pre sented, in whiCh"he could thus manifest his devo . Oat. Salt is a n article 'entering into theeonsump tion of every familythe riot at; well as the rich, are obliged to use it.-- , -and as the poor constitute the mass of the pOpidation . of our-country, that which affects the potkets of all, most materially affects them. A proposition was` Made in Congress to abolish the day on. Salt. Mr. Irvin, true to his Federal instincts—trtre to, the aristocratic inte-, rests, voted against this'priipasition ; Mid when a similar proposition was before the Ilon'S.e, in tele lion to Sugar, (which is an article 'equally neces- ' sary with Salt,) we find him amang the!'ntissing— not, indeed, out of his place; but sitting-there; and observing .a profound silence, when hitivote in fa vor of the proposition would at least have ebowed that he was not in all 'things identified with the wealthy capitalists, and speculators, and aristocra cy of our 'country. • - -Daring the same session of Congress, in which these propositions—so essential to the welfare of' the mass of-the People—were madeond which. Mr. Irvin aided in defeating, it was proposed also to abolish the tax on Tea and Coffee. This propo sition, like that respecting Salt and Sugar, was de feated ; and on the decision of this question we find Mr. Irvin observing a dignified silence, when the final action was bed upon it iiPthe House, and when the bill, imposing a tax of ,20 per cent. upon Tea and, Coffee came before him from the Senate, he voted for it. Every Stan knows that there are no articles en tering more thoroughly—into the consumption of every. family in the country, than tkirse identical articles of Tea, Coffee, Sugar- and ,Salt ; and of I course every fraction of a cent which is taken) from the price of either of them, is just so much added to the means of enjoyment of the mass _our population. We find Mr. Irviioherefore, vo ting against, or r bstaining to vote upon, the clues fon Of a reduction" in the Price oi 'these articles, and with those who were themselves interested in keeping up the -nice of them. Is there any other legitimate conclusion r then, than that to - which we would arrive—that. James Irvin, the Federal can didate for Governor, is infuser of lows calculated to protect the interests of soulless: corporations, dishonest speculators, the rich and !'grasping mer chants and manufacturers, and all others of the same character with himself—he being one of the nabobs of the country; and fgainst such en actments, as will enable labor to reap its just re ward, place the poor man upofl an equality in point of privilege with the rich and enable the poor to obtain the greatest amount of enjoyment I I at the least possible expense. z . This conclusion is a just one.). It is legitimate ly drawn from facts, Which cannot be controver ted; and we are greatly mistaken in the character of the - people of Pennsylvania,if they shall not come to the same conelusion, and prove by their votes, that they do not sanction.such an open vio lation of the principles of °M r :fret.' govenment. This _they can, and we think they will do, by vot ing for one who is a plain, sensible, practical man; who has alWays been identified-With the interests and the honor of Pennsylvania ;;and who has prov ed himself altogether competent to discharp . ,,e the duties of the high office to-which he has been once elevated; amrfor which his political friends have again nominated him. :That man is FILL51;18 Sittmr.. ..

The past-inter has-beetfone caftulatedi to inflict great injury, (in some sections of the conn `try, and on some soils,) on nie Fall Wheat--z grkst amount of Which, we find, has been killed. ;In some parts of the country, howiv,er, -this difficulty will be to some extent overcome, by a'very-grat ly increased amount of Spring Wheat, and ail ad ditional amount of land devoted to the culture of Corn, , The .Winter, which had been dry, almost throuihout the country, has been succeeded byl a long drought in the'early part of the. Spring—So 'chat, evesl where the Wheat had survived, them was but a gloomy prospect for a crop more ktcentlh there seems, to have been 'fine, refreshing rains in many parts, and the parched fields Ate, represented as tow wearing the beautiful livery cf the 'season. This is -especially - the case in zinia, Maryland, western New York, and in Our own State. Where the wheat has notheen winter; killed—as in some soils of northern Ohio,southern ' 1 Michigan, and in asman part 'of Indiana and Illi nois—the prospect is good. This also stems 4. the case in lowa and Wisconsin. We very much regret to see the accounts concurring, frorri alnalt every 'garter, that the peach drop is entirely ! t off. We cannot; tberefore, expect to enjoy, toaliy considerable extent, the luxury Of this delitious fruit. Major Dosinity. We are informed by u gentleman, who has! just arrived from Vera Cruz, that .Major Downey, sut. ler of the 2d Regiment of Pennsylvania Volun teers, was lying in the Mexican dungeons a 1 Oro zeba, under charge of beings spy, on the 20th ult. Our readers will recollect that shortly after the surrender of Vera Cruz, the Major was robbed of $2OOO in specie, by a Mexican whom be had ;taken into his service. With his characteristic ardor; he determined to pursue the pilferer, even intofthe heart of the enemy's country, and engaged two Mexican police officers of Vera Cruz to assist him ; they succeeded in arresting the thief and recover- 1 ing the money, but his assistants, in order to ap.. propriate the money to themselves; basely Surren dered Mr. Downey to the Mexican authorities, as a spy. Hopes, however, are entertained of his speedy .release. Mr. J. B. Mitchel, of this city, Mr. Dow ney's assistant and faithful friend, was determined to leave no effort untried to effect his speedy libe ration from the perils by which he was envirotied.l He had made personal application to Col. Wilson. military Governor of Vera Cruz, for assistance,l who referred him with a recommendation, to Gen. Scott. Mr. Mitchel left Vera Cruz, with the re commendation. on the 27th ult., and it is presumed that Gen. Scott will promptly detach a sufficient force, either to; reduce the town or procure Mr. Downey's immediate release. • In the Me l lt fond of the flatted States. , Garrett Van liietre, Before oT .T LSTIC E GIIFII, VS. and JUDGE lawns. .Dr. Robert lifitihell, This was an action of debt for the penalty of $5OO, imposedlby the act of Congress of the 12th Of February. 783, for "harboring or concealing" a runaway, sl ve; oarrted Jared; the property of Mr. Van Metr, of Virginia. - The case has excited -much interest from the novelty of 'its character, and as turning the taoles upon the rec nt excite.ment'in this city, upon a; similar subject. • ; .

Patterson, who is on the' sick list came up . with us. When he came near he uncoverd his'head and addressed the Pennsylvanians something after this . siyle : "To you, the gallant sons and representat4'cs of the no ble old Keystone State, I have only to say, that her honor is in your hands. I can trust this day's work to your safety, for I know that' you will do your duty like men and soldiers. You hare a no ble and good leader at your head, (referring to Gen. Pillew)--follow hirn, ankif it , is necessary, I too will be among you." We gayebirn three hearty . Pennsylvania cheers, And started on." CAPIT•L PUICISIIMEINT.—It is stated on the au thority of Sir Fitzroy Kelley, of England, that, since the year 800, no less 'than fourteen persons have suffered 'death for crimes of which it was afterwards fully proved they were innocent.

Well, I IsuppOse you have it all in the papers before this; V a — II ' r 1 n twt give you a : f e w in cidents that came un -1 der my own observation.We were under orders at a moment's warning, some two or three days before the battle; but never moved till Monday morning, the 19th, though the battle actually corm • meiteed the day before, On that morning at day liglit we were all 'ready for any service, and indeed it was not tong before we got•it to our heart's con tent.l At 6 o'•elock the brigade moved off up the readier about four miles, and then we could hear the report of small arms quite plain; every few' minutes we met one or two coming down, want , ing an arm. You may think it strange; but some of them, - that had not been twenty minutes out of the doctor's hands, after getting an arm cut off; walked Awn tear road with as bold a swagger as a militia'officer on training day. They, seemed to be perfectly insensible to pain. But, to proceed: Wethen took into the chapparal for about three, Miles, and we Were ordered to charge, which we 'did, with a yell that would have awakened the . dead. The Mexicans gave us a most galling cross, fire, from two of their batteries, which killed and' wounded a great many—among the rest, General Pillow—which caused some delay and confusion in ,the Tennessee Regiment. In the meantime. Generals Shields and Twiggs got into a battery that commanded the two we were engaged at, and when the Mexicans saw this, they sounded a par. ley, the firing ceased, and they became prisoners of wat to the number of about seven thbusand,. arid epWards of three thousand of them killed and wounded on the field. We lost about four hundred' and fifty or five hundred in klAleZ and wounded:, Santa Anna himself broke early in-the morning; and in his hurry forgot his cork-leg, carriage, and! about seventy thousand dollars in specie. Colonel I Harney's Dragoons and General Worth's Division pht after him; and the way the dead were lying I oh the road two days after, showed that the boys] on the. horses were not idle ' • 1 believe there was a letter published in the Ga. zette, some time ago, casting reflections on the of ficers of this Company; and charging them with neglecting their men. I think it stated there was One exception. Well, there is one; and the name . Of the officer in question is Capt. Run KI3T POOTKR. It was he, and he alone, who attended to the sick, and no other. As for the men being glad to get the crumbs that 011 from the. officer's table, that is all fudge. The author of that letter isf no o ac- Count. Mr. li. 11. K— is too well known in i'ittsburgh, I should think, for any of his letters to get much credit there. His character here, since he ,joiued us, is hot the most enviable one. Since he joined us in Pittsburgh, we had to keep a guard '.on him all the time coming down the river, and in Orleans be was confined to camp all the time, for fear of his deserting. Be is a mean, low, drunken I loafer; and a bottle of whiskey from any person would procure a puff from him. Our Lieutenants are as good as any others; but attending to the sick, or any thing of that kind, is Ilieneath their dignity. But Capt. Porter attended 'to them. He brought them every thing, from the cabin aboard , ship, that he could get for them; 1 while no other o ffi cer of ours, or of any other Com-1 I pang that was.aboard, even so much as looked near their men. Now these things can all be , proved by the members of three other Companies I I that were with us. As for Colonel Ron F.ItTS not , being fit for the office he holds, let his conduct on Sunday, the IBM of April, 1511, at Cerro Gordo,, answer for him. If ever a man proved fit to Com-I mend, his bravely, coolness, and 'noble bearing, at the head of his Regiment, when the balls were fall ing as thick as hail-stones around him, showed what kind of a man, and what kind of an officer he was. But I have wasted too much ink and pa-1 per with one so despicable as R. H. K—. Now I if the columns of the Gazette are open for his let-j ters, perhaps the editor would have no objection I to du justice to two as brave officers as are in this! army, or any other—Col. We. B. Rua Eters, and Capt. R. PoaTen. There is no doubt, but all the, other officers and men have done their uty as well 1 as men could do; but there was something about these two men, on that day, that took my attention., Before we moved off the ground, in the morning,! our old man, as w e call a , h d e l C r apta l in, b ga l ve us a s hort or address on our duty; , irm y e ieve t cry man in that Company would have "charged on, loaded cannon, or'fought while one of them was' able to draw; a trigger. Capt. Porter has endeared I himself to his men by his kindness, and by his no-I ble conduct on the field of battle; and I firmly be..l lieve that if he had got shot on that day, we would' have butchered our prisoners that night as we were', guarding them e The prisoners were paroled. We' [ gave them four days' rations when they went off, and I have seen plenty of them in Jalapa since, 'working . at their different trades. At one time, during the hottest of the fire,when we were advancing on the Mexican batteries, I looked along the line, and saw the Captain's face covered with blood. = I thought he ss as wounded, and my feelings were dreadful ; as in that case our mainstay was gone—not because the other officers could not command us as well—but because the men, I am afraid, would have been discouraged. I soon learned that it was a splinter from a rock, or something of that kind, which had struck him; the pieces of rocks Were knocked off, by the balls, and many of our men got struck with them. One fellow thought he was shot in the leg when oni of them struck him. Bat I must conclude this long letter, by wishing ybu long life and every 'comfort that this world affords. Write to me as soon as you receive this; direct as. befoie. So no more from your sincere well-wisher, 11. Mee. -- • GENERAL TAYLOR'S NOMINATION.

BY LA LATE FROM TAIIPICO: • 1.x. , 31.etc0 (Mexico) May 6 1847' Gsx-rtr.`3tior : A mail was received . here.yester. day from the.city ef . .ll.lex - Mo.. I have - - ,rit. seen any of the. Papers, fir k t haVa learned from a relia- ble source,'that theMexietins in th.e intsniot, since thefall of Vera -Criti.and Illehettle of 'Cerro Gor do, have become fully aroused as to their situation. They are flying to arms 'in every direction, and are determined to dispute with ifs every inch of grottnd. The present. governdient Of Me*ico is straining every nerve to carry on the war with re newed vigor; arrintig other movements it is.ma king, is 'the granting of a captain's `commission to any person who may raise a company of tvienty five mounted men; who, besides their regular. ay, are entitled to all the Omar they can take from the Amencans. If the above statements be correct, and you wit, bear in mind that I have them from a Mexican, then his the guerrilla warfare commenced in ear nest. They may annoy us for a while; but ulti mately the whole of this fine country shad be ours, —ours by right of conquest. The new custom housiregulations for the Mexi.-1 can ports went into operation here on the Ist in stant. Mr. Chase—husband of the celebrated Mrs. Ann Chase—has been ..appointed collector, Major] Dashill receiver of moneys, and Captain carri storekeeper. There is a great field open' here and in other Mexican posts 'now in possession Of the Americans for . office-seekers •, and I think that President Polk has now a fine opportunity to rid himself of some of those who hang about the White House. Another arrest was made here a few days ago in the alealde line. The atcalde and Councilmen of the town of Altamira, situated on the San Luis Potosi road, about twenty-one miles from tbis place, have been engaged, for some time past, in preventing traders and cattle from coming into this place. These facts were laid before Col. Gates, who immediately despatched Captain Wyse, with a detachment of troops, to arrest him. The Cap tain eaught the gentleman, and brought him, with four councilmen, to town, where they are now in confinement. If some of the persons connected with the army do not return to the United States richer than when they left it, then it is not because they are not well paid—for instance; the commandaniof this place receives, in addition to his regular pay as colonel, $2OO per month ; the ,chief of police, who is a major in tile regular service, $lOO, and some dozen of other minor offices in like proportion. Now, I do not pretend to find fault with this, for I believe they are justly entitled' to it and earn it ; but give it to you as an item of news. In some future letter I will give you an account of the courts of justice. city revenue, &C. Capt. Aiken, of company I, Louisiana volun teers, is now being tried by ,court martial on some sixteen charges. Col. Marks, Copts. Freeland and! Cole, and Lieut.

We read from a London, correspondent: "The young Queen of Spain is astonishing Europe by her dis play of an energy, rare in her sex.. She seems to have discovered the grand secret how much can be done by rulers who trust to the love of their people. Her husband, after having made alt sorts of pretensions to her leadership of the French par ty, has been compelled to give up his game. A Court rumor, which seems strictly true, states that Don Francisco d'Assise's having threatened to ex cite the army against her, she replied that if he made the attempt, she would mount her-horse and ride through the streets of Madrid, and call for as sistance upon the people. -In the meantime, she ! orders him to quit the Palace. This energetic Iconduct induced the Prince to renounce his inten tions, and brought about a reconciliation between the married eouple.7.-N. Y. Tribune. (21 The Pottsville Democratic Press states that a few days since, letters from Captain James Nagle, written from Vera Cruz, were received by their wives, enclosing a.daguerreotype likeness of each of those officers, as tokens of love, and a few gold pieces. The likenesses are very good, and appear quite warlike, with the mustachois, which are cul. l tivated by the Volunteers in Mexico. Lieutenant Nagle, in his letter, bids his wife kiss their little I son for him. Poor fellow! he little dreanied that at the time his letter was written, his darling boy was quietly slumbering in his little grave, on the beautiful mountain side of his gratefully remem bered home! Nobly fighting the battles of his country, he does not know that death has entered his fimily, and deprived' him of his darling son.— Be may never live to know it—but should he re turn, as we hope and expect he will—it will be long before the endearing caresses of his wife, and the proud congratulations of his friends, will have effaced the recollectimi of his heart lacerating loss.
