•lYhig Skinning Whig!
A few daYs ago the federal whigs of Cumber
land county, held a meeting in Carlisle, which, ric•
cording to the" Volunteer" was a slim affair. A
.mong the speakers was a gentleman from Mary.
•
land, Mr. Galbreath Ego, who delivered a tirade a
gainstibe war with Mexico. He called it an "in
famous was'!—"iniquitous and unjust"--"James
-K.Polk's &c., &c. His speech was quite as
:treasonable as federal speeches usally are, and lik e
all. traitors, he took sides against his own noun
try, and afforded to the plundering Mexicans all the
"aid and comfort" in hie power. When ho 5,0 t
through S. D. Anil a,Esq., followed, and adminis
tered a scathing rebuke to the MexiCan federalist
:trona 34131+1. pre Volunteer states that Mr.
- Adair deniedlbat the war was "unjust and iniqui-.
.tous," and referred to a few of the many outrages
and insults that Mexico has heaped upon this coun
try. He went for prosecuting the war with vigor,
and declared that he who opposed his country in
the present contest was little better than a traitor,
He was as anxious for peace as any man, he said,
but he would not consent to see our country dis
graced for the purpose of bringing about a peace ;
no, he wentifor vigorous measures—he for one,
ratter-would subscribe to the course pursued by
. many leading whigs, who were constantly finding
• fault wjth their country, &c.
The remarks of Mr. Adair; continues the Vol
- unteer, created quite a sensation. A clap of Awn•
der at noonday could not have shocked whiggery
more than that speech. Some laughed, others cur..'
sed, while many were heard to express their belief
that treachery existed in the whig party. Another
— feature in M. Adair's speech we may mention.—
He did not once refer to James Irvin, lhifederal can
. didale for Governor—he did not even name him
He spoke of Joseph W. Patton, the Federal candi
date for CiMal 'Commissioner, and thought that
in
•
ahould ha be elected, would make a good officer.
&c., but he appeared to care little about Irvin.—
Mr. Adair
. was a Cooper man, and has some
MI
knowledge; of the means that were employ
ed to effect the defeat of his nomination. Thus
ended the Whig meeting. It was a meeting that
Afforded much sport to the boys, and we have no
doubt that ;they at least Would like to see a similar
(nice come off soon again.
Gen. CLOVER, the gentlemanly Collector at this
city, yeste l rday furnished um with the following
statement:;

NOTL.—There is an increase at this office, up to
Ist Septernber, 1647, over the entered receipts of,
last year, of $25,505 27. There are three months I
:of navigation yet anticipated. which will give
about $12,000 per month ; which, added to the
present receipts, will make an increase over the
hat year'a receipts, of over soo.ooo—or about 70
per cent. LEVI G CLOVER, Cop..a.
The above statement presents atruly gratifying
picture of the business done on the Pennsylvania
Canal. It will be seen that the amount of tolls
received during the month of August, this year,
nearly trebles the amount received during the
same month last year. The leaders of the Federal
. I
party sagely predicted that the country would go
to ruin under the operations of the Tariff of 1546
—the manufacturers would all be. ruined—the ca
nals would be a solitude, and the lakes a desert
waste of ! water! The continued reiteration of
such stories, mainly caused the defeat of the Dem
ocratic party, last fall, in Pennsylvania.' We firm
ly believed then that the new revenue law would
operate td the advantage of .all citizens, for it was
just and equitable in all its features. We can now
protidly Point to that law as one of the principal
causes of the unexampled prosperity that is now
visible throughoutour beloved country.

former years.

• "-The play's the thing,
In which to catch the conscience of the king !"
We will relate an anecdote which we once
heard of that shrewd - "but eccentric preacher, Lo
renzo Dow, merely to shew_the effects of a guilty
conscience. Of course we do not mean it to be
particiduly Illustrative, nor singularly applicable,
to the conduct of a certain n Independent" news
paper,
whose dodgings and twistings were yester
day exhibited, in consequence of our general re
tialirks on the subject of the piratical portion of the
'•lndependent' press, who from mercenary mo
tives, are playing "second fiddle" to the federalists.
farmer came to Lorenzo one morning, as he
Was -preparing to preach before a large country
audience, and said:
"Mr. Dow, tam told you know a sinner from
his looks, and can tell a thief from his counter'
trice. Now, sir, I have had an excellent axe sto
len from me, and I shall be forever grateful if you
will point out to me the rascal who took it, as in
all probability he will be at the meeting to-day,
judging from the crowds that are coming."
Lorenzo was not the man to deny the posS'ession
of any wonderful faculty that the people chose to
asclite to him; so he told the farmer that he would
get him his axe.
Lorenzo mounted the pulpit, took out of his
pocket a stone as big as his fist, laid it beside the
bible, and commenced the exerises of' the day.— /
His sermon was on the subject of all the sins men- I
tioned in the. Decalogue, and he went on to give
proofs from history of the retributive justice of
Providence, in punishing in this life transgressors.
Murder will out," said he; «guilt cannot con
ceal itself; and I am about to give you this beau
tiful morning, my dear hearers, an example of a
terrible vengeance to follow the breaking of the
Eighth Commandment. Two nights ago a fellow
' stole John Smith's axe ; and I have been commis
sioned, by an authority which none of you will
question, to knock down! drag out! sacrifice! des
troy—utterly annihilate the miserable wretch !
and send him body, soul and breeches to the pitchy
'realms of an awful eternity!! Poor sinner, you
turn pale before the rock has crushed, you!" con
rtinued Lorenzo, as . he grasped the stone and raised
it in the attitude of throwing. Don't dodge, you
'rascal! you can't escape me—don't dodge I!" He
paused a moment, and pointed his long, crooked,
;significant finger at a poor devil in the audience,
iwho appeared to be in an ague fir, with his hair
stariding on ends "like the quills of a fretted Por•
cupine."
'• John Smith: - cried he, " there is the chap that
stole your axe!"
The eyes of the whole congregation were turned
on the conscience .stricken fellow, who looked as if
he wished the mountains would tumble on him.
You will ftestore Mr. Smith his axe, and steal
no more, if t forgive you—wont you ?" asked
Lorenzo.
"If I don't, darn me P' exclaimed the culprit,
with a look and tone that showed the sincerity of
his declaration.

03 Gov. Sucre arrived at Bedding on Friday
evening last. He was handsomely received by all
parties. Judge LONG/STIIETII also arrived at the
same towncand was called upon by s very num•
erous body of personal and political friends. The
truth is we never had an Executive in Pennsyl
vania who stood higher in the affections of the
people than Gov. Shunk. his re-election by'an
olershelming mhjority is certain.

Q Capt. T. D. Su Aw ,lhe gallant commander'

that place and at about 10 o'clock in the evening
serenaded by the Easton Brass Band, in front of
his quarters. Loud calls being made for him, he
appeared on the steps and addressed the assembled

ccy The Pennsylvanian states that Gen. Scott's
letter to_Mr. Filmore is, it seems, genuine alter all.
It was written to Mr. Filmore some six. ears ago,
and was by him forwarded to Mayor Varian of
New York. How it found its way into the news.

j The Chicago Democrat states that the
whole amount of Wool shipped from Chicago this

(o•The amount of specie sent last week from

New York, amounted to ri,f2,000000.
,[l. The Chicago Tribune says the recent Con.
vention held in that city, put into the
.pockets,of
the citizens from $50,000 to $100 : 000. This sum
would have been sullicient to make an excellent
harbor at Chicago, which would have been ten
times more importaL to the people of the west
than long winch(' speeches in the Convention.
NEW Book Puoxissm—We' were yesterday
shown a prospectus of a new work, "compiled by' .
the Rev. Dr. 111. Edrchi, a native of Morocco, late
Professor of the Talmudicat Academy of Amster
dam, &c." It purports to be an historical work,
being an authentic account of the river liambatyou
in the east—a wonderful torrent of lelay, stones
and sands; with an account .of many Israelites,
children of the Prophet Moses, dwelling beyond
the river with their several kings, &c., &c., &c.
iWe think the - -work will be valuable to those
i who feel an interest in the subjects on which it
treats. A son of the author—a fine looking ne
tire of Morocco—is noiv in this city, soliciting
subscriptions.
(Cr Assaults were plenty in the city yesterday.
Not less than a dozen reguiar fights took place;
most of which were brought within the cope
zance of the Police.
We would here remind the fighting boys of the
determination of the Judges'of the Quarter See.
,
sion to inflict the severest penalty of, tn'law upon
all such breaches of - the public peace. Fairtwarm
ing was given, at the last term. Wehave an idea
that some gentlemen will get themselves involved
in such trouble as will teach them that fighting
is not a cheap amusement.

Voice of a Patriotic Whig.
The sati-Wari Federalists Rebuked—the War with
Mexico iriutppluantty vindicated-Mi . . Pol
niinistration gloriously swaained.
Colonel C;;IITIS, of Wooster, Wayne county,
Ohio, is one of the most -distinguistied Whigs in
that State. He was Commander of Third Ohio
Regiment of Volunteers in Mexico, and nobly de
fended his country's honor in the tented field.—
Our readers will remember that with a small band
of Ohio's choicest sons, numbering some three
hundred persons, he Was attacked near the village
of China in :Mexico, by a force of two thousand
Mexican Cavalry, under General Vurrea, and after
a desperate engagement, the gallant Ohio boys put
the Mexicans to flight.
Upon the return of Colohel.Curtis and his brave
soldiers to their homes, a dinner was tendered
them by the citizens of Wooster. On this occa-
sion, the Colonel was called upon for a speech,
and he at responded in the most patriotic
manner. His remarks here well received, be-
cause they expressed' the honest sentiments of a
man who fully understood the history of our diffi
culties with Mexico. We copy below a lengthy
extract from the speech of Colonel Curtis, as we
find it reported in our Ohio exchanges. We wish
this extract could be placed in the hands of very
Whig in the Union. It is a triumphant vindic ,
tion of the course and policy pursued by President
POLE and his Cabinet, and scatters to the winds all
the treasonable arguments of The Mexican federal
ists of this country. We wish the federal Editors
of this city could be induced to spred the truly
American speech of Colonel Cunzis before their
readers. It would prove. an andidote for all the
poisonous effusions of their pens for tbt past year:
Much had been said about ~the war, its com
mencement, and prosecution- lie considered the
annexation of Texas as the proximate cause of the
ar ; and it was known that he was opposed to
anexa:ion as a matter of expediency ; but upon
the ground ow moz in the United States to annex
her, he never had any question. Texas was in
dependent—so acknowledged, not only by the
United States, but by Mexico herself; yet, attempt.
ing to restrWt her alteration to the United States.—
This war had been called the " President's war."
the "war of Congress," but it was neither. It
was a war of the whole people of the United
:Latest againsthe people and republic of Mexico
—one wh. leoeople against another. Chancellor
Kent says:"Every man is, in judgment of law, a
to the party:acts of his own government: and a
war between the government of two nations, is a
war between all the individuals of which the oth
er nations is composed." The constituted author
ites of our country had declared, by an almost
unanimous cote 'that war existed by the art of Meri•
co,' and from that moment our relations changed
from (rim& to enemies, and it was the duty of
every pot ci iii n and lover of our glorious land,
to sustain with all hit might his country in any war
in which she might he engaged.
some bad said this war had been commenced
by ivading Mexico. Was Texas Mexico! s The
first act was done by :Mexico. ;lie withdrew her
Minister, which, according to the law of nations,i
'is a breach of the peace, and threatened tar. Aris
ta crossed the Rio Grande before General Taylor ad
vanced from Corpus Christi, declaring, in behalf of
his government, he would make war, and J rive every
person across the Brazos; andthis. upon their part,
was war, as much as the coudict of arms at l'alo
Alto and Itesaca; and fur him it was enough Ow
the government had declared. war by its constituted
authorities--He had by that government been ed
ucated a soldier; and,, although he deplored war as I
a scourge of mankind ; yet it could not always Lel
avoided; and, finding his government engaged in : a
war which he believed Jusr, he had -tendered his I
services, and, to the best of his ability, had done;
his duty. Ile owed the gover,nment, all he had dour. I
and, if the war should continue, he was yet ready'
and anxious to serve his country.
How long the war might last, was a ion
.many were as'iing 1 He could not tell, but hoped
that it might soon be over. Our government had
always been nr..fliT AND ANTIOCH TO TREAT, 1111 d
treated them with much moderation and kitulness, I
and the whole campaign had been conducted on the;
part of our government with great forbearanced
magnanimity, and wisdom but all to no effect. Our I
government had continued to offer the olive branch
and the sword, but they refused terms of peace, or
any peace at all. They were a war loving people
—ignorant, treacherous, and if not fighting others,
would prey upon one another. They might take
you by the hand, profess the warmest friendship,
cry peace, peace,' sod the moment your back
I was Mimed, they would stick a dagger to yo r
bean.
This war has been denominated a war to extend
slavery. This cannot be true, for slavery will be
circumvented—it cannot exist there from natural
causes. Sine tenths of the inhabitants of the coun
try are noir stares (poufs) to the rich, living in the
Moat Uhpd arid hopeless slate of ignorance and dcgra•
dat ion.
The wealth of Mexico is in her mines; and it:
the United States ever get indemnity, rt must be
from her mines. But this war is not for territory
or indemnity. but it was a war for /truer .t The
Mexicans hail been robbing our citizens and pilfer
ins our toessels for the last twenty years. and had
BROKEN Tits PEACE: and it is the duly of our'
government—oue which they cannot mold, to
avenge the numerous lout wrongs done oJr courel
try, and bring about an honorable peace iu the.
most speedy manner possible.
You cannot make peace by recalling our army •
'
for if you should do so, you would soon hati to re I
conquer all the territory we now hold. Better far
throw a large army into the country—make it a
war of conquest—take possession of the whole coun
try—keep it—govern it, or compel them to come tol
permanent and reliable terms of peace. 'There was
no use in idling with such a. people; they must be
i on & to respect the rights of then neighbors: and to
effect such a result, he declared himself in favor of
the most vigorousproserulioa of the war, and the sub
jugation of tie whole country, if they would not
come to terms otherwise.
He did not wish to deny to any citizen the right
of discussing the acts of government ; yet it op.
',eared to hint that opposition to the sigorous pros
' ecution of the war would lead the= Mexicans to
'suppose that they might make.,easter terms.
We have before us another patriotic speech
made subsequently by Colonel CURTIS at Mans
; field. It is equal in all respects to that delivered
at Wooster. We can only make room for the
closing paragraph:
" The object of this war is-peace, which none
more ardently desire than myself. The happiest
day of my life will be. when 1 learn peace is es
tablished. But When will it he Battle after' bat
tle has been fought and won; city after city has
been reduced and taken; and yet 1 fear peace is a
distant thing. More blood must be shed before
national harmony will be restored. More troops
will be requited, and esery man should turn his
powers to account. 'lnactivity is , not excusable;
opposition is highly reprehensible. This is not a
war of ,the President, or of a party. It is the war
of your Congress, and of your country; it is your
war, and my war. It is waged for the future pro
tection of your heretofore disregarded rights, and
to secure the respect that is due your nation's nag.
Like our struggle twenty five years ago, it is ein
, phatically a v. -4r of rights. He who is opposed to
the present, would have been opposed to the late
war."
Rule, WIDE-STREAM Roriv.—A gentleman 'of
Michigan, writing to the Editor of the Detroit
Free Press from Boston, among other things, says:
'Having seen so ninny •"crocadile" tears shed by
the Whig press over the present tariff, 1 have taken
much pains to imp - lire into its ruinous prospects
in every section of New England that I have visi
ted since L left Michigan. As yet I have not heard
of the 'rusting of ally spindles" or the "rotting of
water-wheels." On the other hand all branches of
manufacture seem to ,be in a very prosperous
state—particularly .woolen and cotton, the very
first factories, according to whip predictions, that
were to be bankrupted and come under the sheriff's
hammer.

Ricumoxo, Sept. let, 3 o'clock, P. X
We have received a copy of the N. 0. Picayune,
which paper contains extracts from the Jalapa
Bulletin of the Gth August.
The Bulletin gives what purports to be the in
tercepted correspondence between our Government
at Washington and Gen. Scott. The letter from
the Cabinet to Gen. S. is published; but dates
omitted. After stating the financial difficulties of
the government, and the consequent inability of
.....
raising the forces readily demanded by Gen. Scott,
he letter proceeds as follows:
"I much fear you will have to remain in the
centre of Mexico, in a Mate of inactivity, very un
expectedly on the part of the War Department.—
The fate of the forces under Gen. Taylor also de
pends much upon your skill and foresight. The
department places the fullest confidence in your:
, skill, and feels - satisfied that the resources at your
disposal and those hereafter furnished will be judi
ciously disposed of. In fomenting the desirable
revolution you announce, which is to open the
gates of Mexico, and put in a false position the
rumors which have been afloat. Should it appear
that the revolution is not far enough advanced by
the fourth of June, you will have tact enough to
obtain an armistice, and be amusing those people
with propositions of peace ; and in the mean time
nutrualizing the mqvements of the guerrillas who
an much annoy you."

LOCAL MATTERS
THE RAI LHUAD M CETI NO.—We very much re
gret that we were unable to ;pie a more detailed
report of the proceedings of the meeting of the
Stockholders of the Comiellsville Railroad Corn
pany. We had not time nor room fur details.
Though there was nothing done—but the adjourn .
meta till November—the sayings_ of those in at
tendanre . wgre exceedingly interesting. There
were ail sorts of speeches made. Soiree were like
a pellucid stream, some like a mountain torrent,
some like canal water, and one was like an ava.
lanche. There was wit and sentiment, hard licks
and soft licks, patriotism, philanthropy, &c.,&c.
We cannot give a report now; but refer those
who desire to treasure up the fullest account of the
I proceedings, to the Gazette of yesterday. Mr.
Brooks has given the features of the different ad.
dresses, and the substance of the motions.
Bri•i•lllasen.—The city bakers are beginning
to use unbolted flour for bread—which makes what
is called Graham Bread. It Las been introduced
into a great number of private lamilies and board.
ing houses, for people who' opce get a taste, are
never after willing to resort to the fine flour sys
tern. Any physician will' say that course bread is
the best for health—in fact, any other is injurious.
We forget the number, but it has been estimated
that there are a great many barrels of pills used
every year as remedies against the effects of fine
bread. The tavern keeper w•ho set a box of Bland
reth's Pills beside the plate of each boarder who
used this kind of bread, had a good idea of his
cessities. We wish those who have any doubts as
to the excellencies of the bran would try it. -it is
pleasant to the taste and "good for the stomach's
sake."
' gra - People should not forget to lock their front
doors. A thief entered the hotee of J. D. Morri
son, Allegheny, on Sunday night, through the front
door, it being unlocked, and was about to take his
departure with a good load of valuables, when ho
was caught by one of the inmates who happened

-From 'the A . Louis Un i on, August 20
FROM CALIFORNIA.
Gen. Kearny and suite, together with a fell? oth
ers, arrived last evening on the -Bniefia. Col. Yte
mont and party were. at Kansas when the Arsnelia
came down, and will arrive on the -next boat.
Gen. Kearny left Califamia on the 18th Jdne,°ac
companied by several . discharged Mormob volun
teers, his party numbering in all forty or fifty-five
men. Col. Fremont being under arrest, left about
the same time, and was but a short distance in the
rear of Gen. Kearny. The party with whom he
came numbered about twenty-five men. Gen.
Kearny arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the 22d
inst., making the trip in the short space of 165
days; being at.the rate of thirty-five miles per day.
Ile carne, by the , South Pass, and had many ob•
stacles to encounter, the snow on the mountains
being very deep. The Indians were quiet, show
ing no hostility whatever. All the trains of emi
grants were met, and our informants, Major Cook
and Judge Bryant, state that they were getting on
finely. •
When Gen. Kearney's party left California; every
thing was in a peaceful and prosperous condition;
Cdr Mason was left in command. There was
quite a fleet off the California Coast consisting of
the 74 gun ship Columbus under Command of tom.
Biddle, the frigate Congress, the three sloops-of
war, Partsmoisfh, :Warren and pate, and the two
store ships, Lexington and Erie. The Erie was to
leave in a few days with a lot of troops for La
Paz Cul. Stephenson was stationed at Los Angh
with about 500 men. The rest of his troops we e
divided in parties and stationed at ditlerent pos a
throughout the country.
We learned no further news of importance.
To Judge Bryant we are indebted for the puru
sal of late California paiurrs.
From Rio Janeiro and the River Plate.—By the
bark Elermitage at Baltimore, we have advices from
Rio Janeiro to July 7th, and from the River Plate
to the sth of June.
The principal mattersdiscussed in theßio Janiero
papers; were the death of the only prince,'sickness
orthe only princess with convulsions, the daily ex
pected birth of another child, and the fear that a
duty will be laid in the United States upon 'coffee
from Brazil in Brazilian vessels.
Many obstacles had arisen to embarrass the ad
ustment of the affairs of the River Plate. It might
not be effected for some weeks.
If Gov. Roses finds himself clear of this war,
it was supposed he would immediately commence
another against Brazil. The province of Rio Grande
(Brazil) which would be first attacked was not in
a very good state of defence, but measures were in
progress to make it so.—Journal of Cominei cc.
