DONALDSON ALIDITOFL-EDWARD M:CORK LE Ma Prospect in Pennsylvania, From every day's reports of our contempowies of the Democratic press, we find that, as the time for our elections- draws near, our friends are be coming more thoroughly satisfied with the pros pects, of otne l worthy Governor for a re election. The only ground for fear which we now see, lies in a probability of too great a degree of confidence in our own strength ; and the.dailger there is tl be apprehended from an undue reliance upon the seeming apathy of the Federal party. But our friends, we are sure, will not allow themselves to be lulled to repose, by the pretended inactivity of their opponents. They will not forget that the Federal party are now trying to play a new game: that. they are seeking to gain power, by preserving silence; andl i making no exposition of their-princi ples' "for thF public eye.'' The Penrisylvaniancontainsa number of letters, from our friends; from which we make a few ex-1 tracts. In Montgomery county, a friend 'w rites I "Shook and Longstreth will receive a fiill vote in this county." Another says We .look for our former majority in Lycoming." From Blair 'county ; _' Democrats who at one time seemed disposed to loubt the re election of our present inrthy Gotlernor, are now the most sanguine of his sticcese,land we-are all at times in good heart. - From Somei,set:—" I think I can safely assure you that this county, in October next, will take the ad vice given by a distinguished Whig politician on a former occasion to Lehigh, and do Getter at the next,e/ectioni" In Sullivan county, another friend writes--" There is no doubt that we will get a full party, i'ntet in this county, and probably some more." From Cicuificid—"ln regard to the pros- Recto of-tbe i party this fall--they never were more auspicious.l' In old rinango—u The Democrats 0 this. county feel confident in giving Governor Shunk a lager majority than when he was first elected." Bedford- 4 . The Democratic party in this county is firm and united—our prospects _ . weie never! more favourable. - Bucks county says —"Our friends are going to the polls in a solid phalanx fbr Shunk and Longstreth. ;Many honest men.,. r in the, opposition, will .also vote for them upon . meritorions considerations. The Democrats ivhoy.ere I supine last fall, wtll be active in the next canvass.'' The Democrats of Centre county ,say that "Shank's majority will doubtless be be tween. 80ti or pot) there, and our anti-masonic Union is beginning to see the error bf her ways . and Corni l nut anti-Mexican." Our Union countyf friends say that " Shank's prospects are very ffat tering, arid gaining : g round every day." And a frienirin Totter county says Potter county is good for 300 for SUVNK and LONUSTRETH... arms ALLIANCE.—EIwood Fisher, o : Cincinnati, who has, betimes, acted with every political party in the country, is at present assist ing the mitorious Prentice, in conducting the Louis. ville:Joirritat. Although that paper has hereto-1 I fore been the' exclusive organ of Henry Clay, we now , find it associated with John C. Calhoun in urging the south, without respect to party, to rally in support of General Taylor for the Presidency.— Elwood Eisher, a strong Calhoun man, in a letter to the Cincinnati Gazette, says that he is attempt ing l.to unite the Northern and Western whigs with Calhoun" to oppose the Democratic party, . and urge upon the country the claims of General Taylor. There is something in this alliance that remains to be explained. if the political views of Mr. Calhoun are to be aJopted by the "Northern and Western whigs '• we shall certainly have a most singular party to contend with! The truth is, the faCtions that are now, and ever have been , oppoied 43 the Democracy in this country, are not, governediby any particular set of principles—they are linked together by no other tie than a deep rooted hatred of every man fof purer principles than themselves. OE3 "FIII.E IN THE REAR. - -The Nationl I„, l In ., ' at Washington, the self constituted organ of General Taylor, publishes the following precious bit of in formation: "It is pretty confidently said, that if, peade is j i not made by Mr. Trist, General Scott will be recalled, and the chief command of our armies in Meitio be given to General Taylor. It ought never toi have been taken from Old Zach." Sup pose such an article as this had made its apperance in a democratic paper, would not the federal press seize upon it instantly as an insult to Gen. Scott? The aboiveis doubtless a piece of romance, but it is sufficient to show the deep-rooted malice of the federal press towaids the brave men who are fight log fort their country. That party despise both Gen. ScOtt and Gen. Taylor, and indeed every man connectd with the war. They are now endeavor ing to appropriate the well-earned laurels of G-en. Taylor to themselves, in order tobolster up their unprincipled cause. Dr.t.ramns BLIADT."—A letter has been going the rounds of the Federal papers in this State, sigtfed'by " Dr. James Brady," who said that he was tired of Democracy, and would 'hereafter be a federil whig, and all that sort of thing. The Democratic editors east of the mountains have la bored diligently for weeks past, to find out " who is Dr. Sen i le! Brady," but had almost given it up in despair; when the Easton Argus at length put all . • nxiria4 enquiries at rest. We must certainly con gratulate our federal, friends upon the acquisition orthe Doctor to their ranks: It if igine: 2 —We observe that "James Frady has been committed to the Bucks county jail for stealing - a watch from a negro.

Who is responsible for the passage of this vile act? We answer—the Federal Party that came into power on the hard ci ler hurrah of 1840 —and JAMES IRVIN, the Federal candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, is justly entitled to the appellation of n Father of the Bankrupt Law." He was a member of Congress at the time of the pas sage of this act, and the Records of Congress prove 1. That JAMES IRVIN, on the 18th of August, 1841, voted for the passage of the Bankrupt Law. [See Journal Ist Session, 27th Congress, page 379. Same Volume, page 380, exhibits the vote of JAMES IRVIN against reconsidering the vote by which the Bankrupt Law was passed. On the 17th of January, 1842, JAMES IRVIN voted against the Bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law. [See Journal 2d Session, 27th Congress, page 214. When J.i.xcs lams voted against the bill to re peal this loathsome monster, he done so in defiance of the expressed wishes of the entire people of this Commonwealth, because every county in the State had then spoken out against it, trumpet tongued.— At the Convention that nominated Irvin in March last, several of the leading members of that body openly proclaimed to the world that, if he (Irvin) should be forced upon the party, his votes on the Bankrupt Law would sink him so low in the esti mation of the People that inglorious defeat would be the inevitable result.

Cartrin and his Speech —Even the decent subjects of Queen Victoria are ashamed of such men as Corwin, as would seem from the following : "A correspondent of the Roston Courier writing from Ogdensburgh, relates the following anecdote:l " I learned that yesterday, a clergytnan as be professed to be, and undoubtedly was, passed down' the river in the steamer, and the subject of conver sation was this same Mexican war. He expressed a hope that every American now in Mexico would be killed or die of disease: his detestation of ts ar in general, and of the Mexican war in particular, was such that he was fool enough to let out his party feeling on the subject to a party of English• min. One of the persons present asked him if he I professed to be an American, and entertained such hatred to his own countrymen? He said yes.: Then said his interrogator, if you have not decen cy enough to keep such thoughts to yourself in the presence of strangers, and particularly of people who belong to, and hold allegiance to another country, you are neither worthy of the name of American, nor lit to associate with Englishmen.— From that time forth the fellow held his peace, no one would have communication with him. He was despised by all the passengers on board the boat." Tennessee—An official report to the Legislature, sets down the capital employed in the iron busi ness at $4..000p00. On the Cumberland river, near Nashville, there are "21 blast furnaces, 11 forges, and 3 splendid rolling mills, which yield annually about $BOO,OOO. On the Tennesse river "there are 12 furnaces, and 8 forges and bloomeries, which produce about 180.000 tons annually." , Fur Liberia.—We are informed that the Liberia packet will positively sail on herksecOnd voyage to the colony on the Ist of September, taking out emigrants and freight for the colonization socie ties. Dr. ATGill, colonial physician, and Mrs. Rus wiirm, the lady of Gov. R., who have spent the summer in this country, will return in the packet. We understand it is the intention of the company owning the packet to keep her constantly running between the Chesapeake and the colonies, and it is estimated that she will easily make three trips a year. This enterprise must prove very advan• tageous to the colonies, and we hope profitable to the company.—Bait. ..merican. a:7.

The• Steamer Fashion has arrived at New Or leans from Vera Cruz, which place she left on the 3d instant. Advices had been received there from the Capital to the 28th, and from Puebla to the 30th of July. Gen. Scott was at Puebla on the 30th. and there wasta probability of his making an immediate advance upon the capital. Gen. Valencia had arrived at the city of Mexico on the Monday previous, with 400 Q Mexican troops. Gen. Pierce had reached Perote after a severe contest with the guerillas near the National Bridge,' in which Lt. Tipton, of the Indiana Volunteers, 1 and a surgeon of one of the Pennsylvania regi-1 ments, were mortally wounded, and had since died. A courier of the British legation had arrived at Vera Cruz on the 31st July, with correspondence from the Capital to the 28th, and from Puebl'a to the 30th. Mr. Kendall, of the Picayune, represents• the prospect for peace as decidedly unfavorable. Mr. Light says that Gen. Scott marched imme diately on the arrival of Gen. Pierce—certainly in !the Ist week of August ; and that it is more 'than probable there will be a bard fight at the city of Mexico: as the Mexicans are prepared to, meet him : having all their fortifications completH, and an army of 25,000 men ready to defend the, city. It is also said that the British legation are se cretly exerting every influence to prevent the Americans from taking the capital. Other letters to the Picayune represent that the chances for peace are more favorable; and, that the resistance to 'the approach of oar army will be merely nominal. The Congres's of Mexico had referred the letter of Mr. Buchanan back to the Executive, and had thrown on him the responsibility of terminating the war. The peace party at the capital is reporfted as being strong and constantly increasing. 'They have no faith in their Generals. i The Sun of Anahuac says that when the gue rillas attacked Gen. Pierce's division, 1300 tsmeri cans sustained their whole fire, until within about 200 yards of the, Mexicans, when they ofitined a ' deadly fire on them, causing them to retreat.: They Isoon rallied, however, and returned to the contest, when the American,cavalry rushed upon them— killing about iOtt of their number. i The position of the Mexicans was conSidered i one of the strongest in the country ; but the Ame ricans passed the Bridge, and arrived at Petote in safety. Gen. Scott deipatelled Gcn. P. F. Smith's bri• Dade to meet Gen. Pierce at Perote. , •I he Commercial Times thinks that the news folly confirms the previous accounts of the cif Mr. Trist's mission; and that all prospect of an early peace is now at an end. A correspondent of that paper states, that there has been a contest of etiquette about consitiitional rights, between Santa Anna and the Mexic,in Con gress,—each charging the other with the reoponsi bility of the peace. It was supposed that Santa Anna was sincerely desirous of patching up the ilifferenCes between the !two countries, as the sole means of accom ' plishing the grand object of his ambition,—the Dictatursbip. When the Congress dissolved, it was done by the withdrawal of such a number of members as left the remainder below a quorum. Santa Anna had held a council of general ofli cers, at vihich it was resolved to make an effort against Scott at Puebla, or, in case of the failure of negotiations, to calmly await his advance, and act on the defensive; in order that they might be free to:pursue their own course. The government had issued a proelamatior., for• bidding the issue of all newspapers, except the of- tidal organ. .The Delta says that the Congress had adjourned, without coming to any decision upon the proposi tions of our government; and that all letters from the capital agree, in saying that Gen. Scott can take the city without any difficulty; that the foreign merchants there, are all anxious fur his arrival. Lt. Whipple had arrived at the Capitisl ; bad been treated well; and expected soon to be ex- changed Cotrimodor: Perry has withdrawn his forces from Tobasco, in consequence of the sickness pre vailing among them, until the sickly season shall EEO The San of Anahuac attributes the wits drawal to the overwhelming force of the enemy, and the fear of an attack. Gen. Almunte was confident that Generals Tu. lamingo and Alvarez were at the capitallabout the middle of July, and held several long interviews. Mr. Trist had been very much indisposed ; but was convalescent. From a letter of Mr. Kendall, 41 the Picayune, we learp that that gentleman had a conversation, at Puebla, on the 3Uth ultimo, with a gentleman only two days from the city of Mexico, who in formed him that the city had lately been inunda ted ; and that great sickness prevailed there in con sequence. This gentleman had also understood from foteigners there, that there was to be a battle between Gen. Scott and Santa Anna, and that the latter would surrender on the first attack, and a peace would then ensue. Gen. Shields was at Puebla, and in excellent health. Majors Gaines, Clay,Boreland, and others, were still prisoners at the capital; and there, was no prapect of their release until the anticipated en ga;4ment should have taken place. Despatches from General Scott for the city of Wathington had reached Vera Cruz on the 6th instrt. It had been the general belief that the express who brought them had been cut off. Commodore Perry had issued a notice discontin uing the war tax of 10 per cent., which had been imPosed on exports and imports into Mexican ports occupied by our naval forces. The , Mexican government had ordered that the next tax should be levied on the merchants through out Mexico. • The health of Vera Cruz was greatly improving. Major Smith, the Quarterinaster at Vera Cruz, had died from the prevailing sickness. . No papers have been received at Richniond from the south of Charleston. The Picayune of the 6th contains the further details which we give; but there is no later arrival. The news from Vera Crux and Puebla, does ttot PUILIIIELPIIII, August 14th, 10h. 45m. A.

The correspondent of the Picaytine derived-much' of his information from English , residents, whol are aware of , the efforts of their Miniiter to bring about negotiations for peace, and prevent, the capi : tal from falling into our hands. A letter to the Picaynne, from the capital, of the 29th ult., says that Santa Anna is sole Dicta- tor; that Congress can do nothing, pecause there is never a quorum present ; and that the Govern ment are seeking to form a close alliance with Eu ropean Powers, and with this view have given or ders to the liquidation of their subjects. About 850 men were at Vera Cruz, when the Fashion sailed, who were expected to leave there in a few days under Col. Wilson.
