TUESDAY MORNING, MAY; 25, .1847.
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

The Seaton—The Crops,
We continue to receive accounts, from different
sections of the country, - of the state •of the weather,
and the prospectilor the Siaribus crops, the condi..
4 tion of which is usually noted_ at this time °tithe.
year.. 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

Gaw TA:rrAiSo:s.—i correspondent of the Lew
istown True ,Dcmorral, writing from Cerro Gordo,
gives the following incident, which we have not
seen mentioned in any other letter from Mexico
It is characteristic of the gallant soldier who was
the principaliactor iu the scene : . 7
"On the 18th, we moved to storm the enemy's
position, and having marched a short distance, until
we reached a chapparal, where Gen. 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. It
the precept be a correct one, that it is better ninety
nine guilty persona should escape, than that one in
nocent person should suffer fdr crime, here is surely
a strong argument in favor of the abolition of
capital punuiment and yet, white the nicety of
the law seldom allows a guilty one to escape, inno•
cent men are deprived of that lif4, which no hu
man power can return to them. '
The Supreme Court of , New York have late

the title of the Livingston to theland, under the

the street. Whether the man is tinged with in.
sanity, as some suppose, or not, we cannot see why
the Police should suffer such vagrants to insult
people, who pay them to keep the city in order.

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.

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. Ogler, of the Louisiana ragiment,'
have been ordered to your city on recruiting sec
vice—so that when campaign opens after the,
rainy season we may have a full and effective re
giment.

INCREASED RECEIPTS ON PUBLIC WORKS;
von THE CURIO:NT TEAM
We congratulate the people of Pennsylvania
upon the growing progress of the public works.=
They are becoming highly valuable to the State,
in the income of revenue, which they produce.
The receipts from the Canals and Railroads,
this year, up to the first of May, amounted to
$413,311 06—which is more than they amounted
to at the same period last year, by $1.71,075 45
from this source during the financial year, will ex
ceed those of the last year by about $300,000 ; that
if no extraordinary casualty occurs during the
year, the expense will be greatly reduced below
those of the last year, which were increased by
the floods that occurred in the Spring of 1546.

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.
Such is human life.! •
