Rank Snakes and 4sh Tress.—lt is a curious
fact, perhaps not generally known to Those unac:
quainted with this reptile, that it has a great aver
sion to a white ash tree. Strike it with within twig of
this tree, and . the rattle-snake becomes convulsed.
And with aueh a wand in his hand, a person may
travel through the habitation of this venomous rep.
Tile without fear of molestation. Thernlian, a
ware of the virtues of this tree, strews ids couch
and his wigwam with its leaves, and the hunter
fill. his boots and his pocket with them—A gentle
man, who was in the habit of bunting in the Pe
quakett country not long since,gives us the follow
ing illustration of the effect of the white ash upon
the rattle snake :
On returning from their traps one day, one of
their party caught a rattle-snake, and brought it
- .alive into camp. Accordingly, a winnow of leaves
was gathered together in form of a circle; a seg
went of the circle being composed entirely of
' the leaves of the white ash,= the remaining part.
Of the leaves of the maple. The rattle snake was
placedn within the circle, %'hich was fiflenn or
twenty feet in diameter. The rattlesnake, in great
fear and trembling, retreated towards the maple
leaves; but here the experimenters met him with
.‘ their ash twigs, and he was glad to stop bia course
and laid his head dOwn in quiet submission.
Aftef this manner had been essayed for some
time, the segment of maple leaves was set on fire
aad the hunters retired to watch the effect. The
rattle snake raised 'his head, moved abmit in a
small circle, turned his head towards the burning
'leaves, coiled himself for a throw, gave shrill
rattle, and plunging into the flame, escped from
the eircle.—Manthester Democr at.
From the Inure of Commerce
"THE wiLmor PROVISO."
This celebrated proposition is arraying parties
against each other and section - against section.
Wherefore is this 2 The writer has mixed free
ly with North and South for many years, and pro
fesses to know something of the feelings of both.
It is a prevalent feeling at the North, that the South
`desires to extend the limits of slavery beyond Tex
-as, into territory that may be acquired from Mex
ico. This I must solemnly deny; and challan,ge
the proof.. Is the proof to be inferred from the
opposition of - the South to the Wilmot proviso ?
No, that is a mistake; I fear a capital mistake.
That proposition or proviso, is founded on the fasle
assumption that the South aim to carry slavery
beyond its present limits. Now, it this nation be
fa'se, what becomes of the conclusion ?
- .
The South are opposed to.,thd Wilmot Proviso,
not because itaims to limit the extension of de
veryt but because it is founded on a false assunip
gaigt""'fft effect alleges a feeling that does not
• exist--it is meant to allege barbarity, and there.
fore does it becomeoliensive.
The allegation is wholly gratuitous.
Although in principle the writer of this scrap is
with the Wilmot Proviso—that is to say, the is
as decidedly against the extension of slavery be
yond the Rio Grande as . the rankest abolitionist;
yet he thinks the agitation unecessary, mischiev
ous, and calculated to defeat the object in view.
Why can't the principle embraced in that proviso
be allowed to slumber until the naked proppsition
comes up to carry slavery over the Rio Grande ?
It will be time enough. then to resist it; and the
writer hopes eiery good wit, North and South,
will help to put it down; and there is no doubt
power enough to put it down at once, peaceably
and constitutionally.
Ye Democrats ! ye Whigs! who profess your
selves to be favorable to the Wilmot Proviso, are
' you afraid to trust majorities? Dare you tell the
people that . / If not afraid to trust the peOpl-, then
why forestall them ? The progress ''of education
through the country will qualify the future to
take care of itself; there can .he no fear that the
free principle will travel backward; posterity re:
quires no counselling from the present generation
in this matter. When New York was a slave
State, whence came the coercing that forced her
to becomi free? It was simply her interest—there
lay the coercive power.

DE TEZUM,ASI
City of Mexico,. 2714 Oct.,. 1547,
Dean Gichrate::--You writ, perceive,! by the
above, that am in the City of the .dziers and
reveling in "themlialls," that we have so often
talked of pand, judging from the' lengthlof time
it has been, since I have been able to write to
t _
you, I suppose you, long ere this, think me num
bered with the missing; but 1 am still right side
up, and in hopes that you keep your legs under
you, as still as ever. I have much to wri 3 e about,
Ibut refer you to a Package I send to 'm father,
with authority to. let you read it. I received
/ l a letter from you before we left Puebla, dated
I
fune; for which I return+ you my hearty
Chunks. We have -been several times - deeeived
.he hope antlreports (camp news,)' of u speedy
return home; but the prospeet don't appear any
better now, than when.we landed at Vera Cruz.
It's true, we have got to their - Capital; fought
With, and whipt then'', in ten or twelve 'battles;
taken from 'them between live and six hundred,
pieces of artillery, with any quantity of small
!trms, and ammunition enough (if in.- the bands
of good men) to drive our little squad beck into
tite Gulf of Mexico;—and still they ,bang'out.
IThey have moved their Congress to h place
coiled Querataro, 10 leagues from bens; where
they are at presenOn session, With, h poi,tion of
Santa Anna's costattlly troops standing over them,
for the purpose Of overawing them, and io keep
them from speaking of peace; but.wait ;awhile,
until the reinforcements come up, (Which' we ex
pect every day) and we will send a few blue
jackets out there, who will make them thiumis
(run) in double quick time. That is said to be
the c.alculation, as soon as they come up. At
present there are hardly enough of us to feel
secuie- in the city; and for a week or two, after
we got possession, there was scarcely a' night,
whe4 there were not two, three, or more Ameri
cans ; assassinated is the streets. Even the senti
nels Were stabbed on their posts; and the coward•
ly racals, who were afraid to meet us face to
face, in daylight, would find a way to stab our
men, !at night ; but they had men to deal with.
who .vould not bear with such proceedings long.
so they began to retaliate; and for the life,ol one
of the y ` New York Regiment, they took eight; and
now ie place has become comparatively quiet—
the stores and shops, that were all shut cm our
entrance, have all opened up, and business is
brisker now than it. has been for some timdbefore
in this, city.
Yon must not think that I am dying foil home
—for I am just as happy as any soldier can be.
There are lots of fun here. I can go to n Span
ish Fandango any night in the week—more par.
ticularly on Sunday--one half A mvican soldiers,
the other Mexican Sinorittas of dilTerent grades
of colut, and conditions in life. I have bosighwa
fiddle, nd we raise a fandango in our quarters
whenever we plea Xe. We had a regular, Irish
Green Hall some nights ago; and in the morning,
just as $ was getting out of bed, my head began to
reel—tlie earth appeared to shake, &c.; thinks
I bare oaken too much of that brandy last night;
but seeqsg consternation on all the countenances
round the, and running into the street, :• saw
the Mexicans, in great numbers, on their inees;
praying l ito the Creator to avert the doom Which
appearetl to threaten them. It was a heavy
shock of an earthquake. I set it down as'nong
the catalgue of dangers_ through which I have
passed 'since I came to Mexico.
I
recei,l•ed a letter from Joe Portsman, dated:
May tith he was then at Brazos Santiago, 'l4,xas;;
1 had no 'chance of answering him; as there!was:

On the seventh day of August, the army WaS
t in motion from Puebla, to advance upon
Capital ; and on the rOth of the same moth,
first battle look place at Contieras, where
enemy were entirely routed ; leaving twehty
two pieces; of artillery on the field, which fell
into our hands, with a large number of prisoners:
During thejaction, the 2d Pennsylvania Reginient
of voltudePrs: remained in San Augustin,: to
guard a large wagon train, containing money
and provisibns for the army ; which was thMat
ened to be !Mucked by a body of Lancers, num
bering fount or five thousand, They, howayer,
kept at a 'f i ery respectable distance. Early on
the morning of the 20th, the 2d Regiment, togeth
er with two Regiments from Worth's Division,
were started on the march for the scene oflac
tion. We hastened, with all speed, to join our
comrades. When near the place, a loud shout,
was heard. Which was caused by the victory being
ours. Gen.'2Fwiggs had taken up his positionjdu
ring the night, and the work was done before
we reached (him. Gen. Worth countermarched
the three Rpgiments back to San Augustin.—
The enemy 'tied to Churobusco, where they had
another straitg battery; but here they were again
defeated, on The same day; leaving: upwards: of
thirty piecesi of cannon in the battery,—ambng
which were three guns taken from Gen. Taylor,
at Buena vista. An. armistice' then follovred,
which lasted from the twenty-second of Aughst,
to the seventh of September; when' Gen. SCett
'notified the ; enemy, 'that they had broken the
armistice, and he would commence operationp—

o'clock in the morning.. when the 'order was given,
Jnarch,ouward. When withiu it' half mile of
the Castle ofChapultepec, ouirregiinent was divi
ded into difierent parties, to help tootbrow up
bkteries.. The Company toi which I beltag,
threw one tij, and mounted, two large guns,
consisting; ot - 0ne.6,4 pound ho‘vitzerkand',one 24
pounder, -which proved' very destructive 'to the
enemy in the Castle. The battery was not finish
ed when daylight appeared. All were afraid that
we would be:discovered and receive a shot from
the Castle before we could retire under cover.—
, The men worked with renewedactivity, to get
done. In a very abort time, the enemy discov
ered'our aitnationi and then they opened their
fire upon us. °
Capt-Port4rVcompany, with two others, which
were on the ground, retired under shelter; and re
mained as d reserve in case- the enemy should
charge the battery. The Castle is a beautiful
building ; and it stands on a high hill; but its
beauty was considerably diminished befcire night,
by-the big guns of the Americans. At length . .the
morning of the 13th September came, on which
the grand effort was.to be made. The Castle was
chargeir, and carried a' .. C:tlie.„ point of the bayonet;
and the flag Of our countiy,Wayed frost its battle
meats 'before . ten o'clock that - day. The second
Pennsylvanid Regiment farmed a part of that
storming party; and the gtorY that has been at
tached to theline of troops furnished by old Penn
sylvania,during the revolution, and the last war,
was not in the, least diminished, on the 13th, by,
the second Regiment. The Mexicans retreated
towards the city in dismay ; . but rallied to make
another stand at the different gates. The road on
which General Quitman followed the enemy (he
being our General) was the strongest fortified of
any around. the city ;—fot the Grand Citadel of
MexiCo is situated where the road enters the
Capital. The second Regiment suffered severely
from the 'fire of the Citadel, and a battery at the
entrance of Cosine Gate. You might have an idea
of how heavy and bot the fire was, when, ont,of
nearly three hundred men, reported fit for duty'a
few days previous, one hundred and twenty-two,
were either killed or wounded. Night at length
put a atop to the dreadful work, and the General
gave orders to fill sand bags to make a breast
work, to protect us from the fire in the morning,
to which we were exposed on the preceding day.
What was out surprise to see a white flag come
in ,the morning, from the city. Yes, the enemy
knew, full well, that preparations were going on
during the night to renew the 'fight the next day i
and they made good their retreat front the capital,
leaving a free entrance for the 4. Vandals of the
North," as they style Americans. The Army bad
no sooner entered the capital, 'when the strictest
military discipline became necessary. Soldiers
had their throats cut by wandering to remote
parts of the city. Sentinels were killed while on
guard. Squads' of five and six men would go to
Mexican taverns, get drunk and quarrel; when the
Mexicans would fall upon them with their knives,
either killing or cutting them in a most shocking
manner. • A
month or more has'elapsed since our
troops first occupied the city; and all has now be.
'come peace and quiet. The ' white flags , that
floated from every house as an emblem of protec
non have all disappeared. Stores are no longer
closed ; and business begins, to assume its usual
aspect. The people also think that the Ainericans
are not such' robbers and rascals as they were
represented to be; I shall , now draw mfi letter to
a close; bOpiitithat the next one I write, may
be in my own
.. ative country, when I shall no
longer be subject to the rules and regulations of a
soldier's life.
1 remain your most affectionate son,
1 7 .1)WARD S.lllll ki
Buchanan.
. It is presdmed that, at the approaching. Dem o,
critic National Convention, the nomination of a!,
candidate for the Presidency, will be conceded to
the northern States. In this event, there is tin,
State in the whole Union, which can pregent • as
strong claims as oh! democratic Pennsylvania. In
-all the great contests for the maintenance of de.
mocratic principles, and the retention of that pow.
er,the exercise of which has made us a great people,
and consolidated am extensive and growing empire,
what State has fought the good fight, and led the
way like . Pennsylvania She has es er been fore
most among the advancing! She has ever been
the fulcrum of the democratic party, and thus she
has acquired the expressive and appropriate appel
lation of the Keystone of the federal arch. And
yet, since the foundation of the government, no ,
one has been selected from .within her border's as
a democratic candidate for the Presidency of the
United States. Virginia, :Massachusetts, Tennes
see, New York and Ohio, have been permitted to
take the precedence, and Pennsylvania has stood'
in the back ground. It is now time, however, that
her claims should be pressed upon the National
Convention.
Of the several distinguished individuals whose
names have been used in connection with the Pre
sidency, there is no one, I believe, who stands so
strong in the affections of the people of Pennsyl
vania, as JAMES BUCHANAN. Ile is by birth
a Pennsylvaniar, and a Pennsylvanian in feeling.
He has risen from humble life, to his present dis
tinguished position, by the force of his talents, and
by a purity of life and conduct which has carried
with it the esteem and regard of men of all par
ties. Mr. Buchanan is unquestionably the sound
! est statesman now at Washington. His papers
from the department of State, indicate a peculiarly
able mind, combining great sagacity with singular
prudence and caution. Without ultraism, his
course has been 'always open and manly; and um
biguity is not one of his resources, when called up
on to define his position. He has never truckled
for office; not has he ever traf4clied with his vote
for ulterior purposes. He has ever been for , the
good of his native State, and that of the . Whole U
nion. At the Baltimore Convention of .1814, in
order to promote harmony and unanimity, he with
drew his name from the list of nominees, and thus
sacrificed himself.
With these views, I ask the Democracy, not
only of Pennsylvania, but of her sister States, to
respond to the name of James Buchanan for the
~„Presidency. Let the democrats rally at their pri
.mary meetings and county conventions, and let
them instruct their delegates to carryto'Harrisburgh,
pn the 4th of March next, the assurance, that
James Buchanan is the choice of the people!

• •
- - -
.As the'betnoCrats of this State will shortlybe:
called upon to express their Prefi?enies for the.•
Presidency, I oak leave' through your columns to .
make a few suggestions in relution-to \that sub
It is geneMlly conceded that :Pennsylvania is
entitledJO the nomination. Such being the case it
become's' her to bring forward her ablest and stron
gest man, and to present him to the Convention,
if possible, with the unanimous apprval of his
own State. The question then arises who is <the
strongest man in Pennsylvania,- and whoie name
is Most likely to receive the concentrated vote of
her democracy.' This is a question with regard
to which there may be some diversity of opinion,
but it is a question which can easily be settled by
recurring to certain facts which ' must be taken
as unmistakeable indications of. the feelings of the
people. .
Last week the Dervicicracy of Philadelphia coun
ty, in one of the largest meetings ever held in that
county, expressed their decidapreferen ee for 'Penn
sylvania's favorite son,' George M. Dallas, and ur
ged the propriety of his nomination in stron.,
terms on the party. This is Mr. Dallas' own
county, and that was the expression of his neigh
bore, of those who had known him long and inti
mately, and who now Wish to show their appreci
ation of his talents. his integrity, and his devoted
services to his party-and to his Country, by placing
him in nominption for the highest office in the gift
of his countrymen. Had they spoken otherwise,
bad this vast assemblage of his party in his own
county, refused to endorse him, or had they by
any act of theirs shewn any want of confidence in
him, I would have thought it the duty of the party
to hesitate and, to look elsewhere kir their nominee,
because I consider that a man's own immediate
neighbors, having the- best opportunities, are but
able to form correct opinions of him.
Lancaster county,_ too, the honic i of Mr.- Buchan
an, in a way-and on on occasitinmot to be misun.
derstood, has manifested her decided . preference,
and will send delegates to the convention in favor
of George M. Dallis. In fact, I believe there is
but little difference of opinion on the subject in
the Eastern part of ihe state. They know there
that Mr. Dallas will ',awaken greater zeal, and car
ry more strength with-him into the contest, than
any man who can 1.1. placed in the nomination
They see the enthusiasm of the people in his favor
and they know that it is spontaneous not brought
about by the , bestowal of official patronage,
not fanned into life by hireling partizans.
am doing no injustice then to' any one, when
I say that Mr. Dallas at the present time, is by
many thousands the strongest man in Pennsylvania,
nor in saying -that Pennsylvania will ,ally to his
support with more zeal and with more certainty of
success than with any other candidate that can be
noipinated. Why it is,.l will not pretend to . say,
but, that so it is, no candid observer Will deny:,
Perhaps it may be accounted for in the . fact, that
Mr. Dallas not only is, but al ways has beeu a Dem•
ocrat. He is a Democrat now, in the war of
1847, and he was a Democrat in the war of 1812.
Always found riding with the country an with
her interests, he was among the foremost to take
his stand along with the great and gOod Jackson
in the war which he declireit upon the United
States,Bank, and no threats or persuasions 'cotild
drive bim from his position until the final over.
throw of the monster. Since then he has filled
various high trusts always with .fidelity -toy his
country, and in a manner reflecting credit on him
self.
This then is the man, whom Pennsylvania pre
sents to the Union, as her "favorite son," asking
credit at their hands, when she tells them he isrwor
thy of .their confidence, that no trust reposel in
him will be misplaced, and that his whole life
front his youth down hi the present time is a guar
antee of what his future course will be.
In conclusion I will saylhat I have no incline
ition or desire to dilparage the claims of other can.
didates. But the stake in this contest , is a high
one, and if we wish to win it, we must play for
it carreftilly. We , Must select as our candidate, u
man who is strong in the affections of the people,
and whose past. life present few vulnerable points
to our enemy. lii looking for such a candidate, I
in common with aigreat majority of the Demo
crats of this State ? have concluded, that George
M. Dallas is the man. ' NO COMPROMISE.
Death of klr.lllngh Hellas Alward.
We have received a copy oflthe '-Flag of Freed.
in," Published Piebla:Me.iico; containing a
notice of the deceaSe of the estimable young gen
tlarnan whose name is 'given above. With his
many - friends, we can unite in lamenting his early
death; for it was our fortune to know him inti
mately, and we- always looked upon him as the
possessor of every generous and manly quality.
" When blooming youth is snatched away,
By death's resistless hand,
Our hearts the mournful tribute pay
Which pity must demand."
We give below, the notice M. his death, as pub
lished in the Flag of Freedom.
.Dial.—ln the city of Puebla, Mexico, on the
2Gth inst., II 13. ALwann, private in the "Du•
'quesne Gre3s," Capt. John' Herron, Ist. Pa. Reg.
Volunteers.
The deceased was a young than in the prime of
life, and universally beloved by all who knew him.
Fur a number of years previous to his vaunteer
ing to fight the battles of his country in Mexico,
he was a clerk in the U. S. District Court, for the
Western District of Pennsylvania, where, by his
business qualifications, and strict attention to the
duties of his office, he won the confidence and good
will of all with whom he came in contact. As a
soldier—he was brave and generous—as a man,
affable and polite, and as a friend, trustworthy and
confiding. " Peace to his ashes."
His friends may be assured that no attention
was wanting on- the part of Capt. Herron and his
friends, to alleviate his sufferings in life and honor
him in death.
A few days previous to his death, the detachment
of which he xas a member,. was ordered to escort
Col. Wynkoop's command to Perote, and few were
left of the Regiment to perform the duty of burial,
when the " Rough and Ready " and " Queen City
Suards," together with the "Ohio Military Band,"
upon request, kindly assisted upon the sad duty,
for whose promptness we feel grateful, and can as
sure them that the "Iron City Volunteers" are
ever ready at their call. • Communicated.
We were happy to see the band of Col. Brong,h's
Ohio Regiment, as well as a large number of its
soldiers, turn out to the- funeral of B. Alward, of
the Ist Pennsylvanin Vr)lunteers, on. Wednesday
last. This is as it should be—soldiers should be
brothers, and whether we belong to-one State or
another, we are all members of the same great
family, fighting for the same cause, advancing the
same interests, and the greatest possible harmony
between the several parts will and must insure
that brotherly feeling which all combatants for
the rights
,o 1 our country should have for each
other.=.F/ag of Freedom.
Female Socie y.—Without female society, it has
been justly said, that the beginning of men's lives
would be
. helpless, tne middle without pleasure;
and the end without comfort. The celebrated d'-
Alembert makes a reflection that does honor to the
female sex, and to his own feeling., "We are in a
peculiar manner," says he, "in want of the society
of a gentle and amiable woman when our passions
have subsided, to,participate in our care's," calm
and alleviate our sufferings, and enable us to sup
port our infirmities.: Happy is the man possessed
of such a friend! and more happy still if he can pre
serve her, and escape the 'misfortune of a . sut viral."
These are secret workings in human affairs,
which overrule all human contrivance, and coun
terplot the wisest of our counsels, in so strange
and unekliected a manner, as to cast a damp upon.
our best schemes and warmest endeavors. The
great business of man, therefore, is the regulation
of his spirit; the posession of such a frame and
temper of mind as will lead us peaceably though
this world, and in the many weary stages of it, al
fords us what we shall be sure to stand in need of,
"rest unto OUT souls."—Sterne.

bled, in this city, upon any similar occasion. Tice
large and finely arranged Hall, presented an array
of beauty, lhtelligence, and respectability, that told,
more eloquently than words, the high estimate
, .
put upon e ebsraeter•ltOtability of the learned
lecturer. • ••
The subject--"Tsi4i."4diffieult in itself, and
not likely tp presentmany features of interest or
amuseined, was treated in an able, ingenious and.
popular manner. It was logical, without being
dry; and (profound, without being tedious or
vvearisome. , The 'tiew taken of the subjectwas,
certainly, in many Jespects, novel and striking.
The instru l etion an i d.entertainment - of all, was,
corectly enough, the aim of the lecturer; and we
are confident that the proper chords were:struck,
and the necessary impressions made. B.
OX ITU ISO Nsw.—Huoker, Fifth street, who
is always deviling ways and means toplease his
friends, has made a new kind .of sweetmeat, to
which he ha's given a French name, unspellable by
us. Wesugigest to those who love to taste things
that aregoo l d and ism, to call and get a little.

prevented m6ny from attending.
FOURTH TRELT ROAD. (or Pennsylvania Ave

condition. Fu nearly its whole extent, from the

not pass without being almost covered with mud
from the passing vehicles; and wagons, &c. are
often stalledi on the way; The committee of the
