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

FACTS THAT DARE :NOT . BE DENIED !

Of, all' the Odious andinfam'ouiliaiws ever enact
ed by. the ; Congress of the 'United States, we has:e
nothing on record to equal, in enormitf,-the Bank.
rapt LaW—e Law that enabled RICH CITY
SPECULATORS to pay off debts amounting to
upwards of Five Hundred Millions of Dollars 'by
merely sending their creditors a notice statir.g the
fact that they had taken the Benefit of the Bank-I
rupt Lay—and, although the most of these Bank
rupts are now living in ease and affluence, and col.
ling in wealth, their creditors have not the power I
Ito collect a dollar of their hard earned dues. in- I
dividuals, alone, took the Bankrupt Law for ore,l
two, and even three Millions of Dollars, thus swin- 1
tiling the community by wholesale—including the
farmer, the mechanic and the laboring man. The
Cities are now thronged with men (riding in gold
and silver mounted carriages, who dress in fine
linen and fare sumptuously every day.) who by
means of the Bankrupt Law, have robbed the widow
of her mite, the orphan of its crust of bread, and
the Farmer, the Mechanic, and the day laborer of
i thohard earnings wrung from the sweat onheir
brows! 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. Philadelphia, however,

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.

will probably escape punishment for his crime. It

LATEST FROM MEXICO !
ARRIVAL OF THE FASHION
,FROM VERA
CRUZ-THE FORMER NEWS NOT CON
FIRMED.-NO PROSPECT OF PEACE.
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

served some time ago a communication over the
signature for "A Parent," stating that Dr. Jayne's .
Indian Expectorant had been the mns of saving
the lives of three of his children, who were suffer

a short time before, lost one of my children by
that dreadful complaint, and having another, and
my only child, suffering the greatest agony with'
the same disease, and in hourly expectation of its'
death, I was induced to purchase a bottle of it, and
commenced using it according to the directions—
and to the surprise of all it began to mend in fif
teen minutes after we commenced using it, and the
child has now completely recovered.
I have no acquaintance with Dr. Jayne, but I
