Trouble among the Young . I “Whigs.”
.Flom reports of the proc‘edings of what is
called the ultoung Men's Whig Association," on
Saturday evening last. as published in two of our
city cotemporaries, we infer that the Hon:" Moses
Flurrrou is likely to be made 'very uneasy in his
seat in Congress! lie has dared to stand out
"solitary and elone," among the Whigs of the
'House of Representatives, in refusing to assert a
lie; by pronouncing the "-war unconstitutionally he.
gun by the Paseident of the . United States." He has
refused to sustain, by his vote, such a declaration;
and therefore, forsooth, he is declared, by these
Young Whigs, to have voted contrary to " tie
wishes of the Whigs of his district." But let
them speak 'for themselves. The following are
their resolutions, which are reported as having
been unanimously adopted:—
" "Resolved, As. the voice of this meeting; that
the preamble end•.resolution relative to the annex
ation of Mexican • territory. recently offered in
- Congress by the Hon. Moses Hampton, the Repre
sentative from this county, do not correspond with
the views, nor meet the wishes, of the Whigs of
his District.
Resolowl, That the negative vote of Mr. Hemp.
ton; on' the Ashmun Amendment—viz: 'that the
war, (with Mexico) was unconstitutionally and
unnecessarily begun by the President of the United
States,'-,-does not shadow forth the sentiments of ,
those - who elected him, and is not indorsed by the
Whigs of his District.
" Rewired, That a copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to the Hon. Moses Hampton."
Before the passage of these sage resblutions,the
young ones seem to have been in " considerable of
a muss." There were a few among them, whose
natural good sense prompted them to believe, that,
if the war was unconstitutional, any act which
they might sanction, going to sustain thewar, or
those who have been engaged in it, is directly fa
voring a violation of the constitution. A few
thought, also ; that, inasmuch as there was a divi
ded opinion among the most talented and decided
Whigs of the country, on this point, it might be
that those who so positively declared the war to
be an unconstitutional act, perpetrated by the
President alone, were not any nearer the truth than
some of their neighbours; and, therefore, they
preferred waiting for a short time, until their papas
—the older Whigs—should have come to a con•
elusion on the subject.
,one.or the young men present is retorted to
have satd—
"We alt believe that the principles of the Dem•
ociatic party (falsely so called) tended to the ruin
of the country—they had been ruining this country
for years—and the reason why this country did
nc,•. - t - lhe its proper stand among the nations of the
was-on account of the rule of this falsely
ca DEmocratic party."
really astonishing to see, that the parents
of such young people should permit them to leave
home. after night. Perhaps, however, the mother
of this youth did not know 'hat he was out.
The same young gentleman, after expressing his
approval of the resolution, lately adopted by eighty
five i'aderal members of the United States' House
of Representatives—that the war was an unconsli•
tutiona/ act of the President—introduced the
following which Was also adopted by the meet-
:
"Resolved, That it is decidedly the opinion of this
meeting (locos included) that President Polk, acted
at all events prematurely, in that umaster stroke of
policy" by which he appointed Santa Anna, to be
• commander in chief of the armies of Mexico—in as
much as Mexico was not then, and is not yet ad
mitted into the confederacy of these States—and is
therefore without the jurisdiction of his Excellency
the ?resident." ,
. After such an exhibition of youthful precocity'
on the subject of politics, as has been exhibited
by these' young Whigs, we are really at a loss to
imagine. the glory of ou rdel i 4iny as a nation, >tf
theie :young men should live to maturity ; and
especially if the author of the last resolution that
we have quoted should ever be sent to Congress
—;to the possibility of which he is reported as
baying made an indirect allusion.
But, to, return to Mr. Hsu - roe. How can he I
consent, fora moment longer, to retain his seat in
Congress; after learning the array of talent and
kobstitutional wisdom that has been broughtagainst
him in Pittsburgh We will not, for a moment
permit ourselves to think of the effect, which will
be produced upon his nerves."-when the
e reported
proceedings of the meeting of Saturday night
shalt reach him ! The man, professing to be a
Whig, who could have the' hardihood to vote a-.
&nit what be believed to be a, lie - -after the ex
staples sethina by the Whigs in the last Congress,
aud•tbe avowals of .some of those who then voted
to sustain the war—,--raust be incapable of bearing
up natter so trernenducius a,bursLof indignation
as this! Poor Ila.uptoul He is most certainly

41keti9 -To•Day.- •
We hope. nig*:slnachizen wilt- neglect his
duty to-day. YtT r imricAtttit electionAWl be held.
The7 . l3ilices to;.be'filled are no trifling: matters to
our citizeni. The questions invol red in a -muni-
cipateleetion are not often weighty, but still have
mutt todo with the comfort of the people Little
evilkare ;sometimes More annoying than great
ones,and infirtiteVal remedies are the most potent.
In the election of to day, decisions'yvill be made
which will seriously - a . lrect the interests of all
classes. There is no dcaibt about this. It is felt
and acknowledged by the leadingtneit of the city.
The evils of bad city government have been de•
ploned. A change of rulers will bring a change
of policy and a better state of affairs:
We ate not writing as partizans, for politics
seem not to be taken into the accoiiht. Men are
making up their tickets with a view to advance
the interests of the city, and to dispense equal and
exact justice and protection to the citizens. This
.
is right. 1
. ,
. ~
The Democrats offer the best candidate for , he
Mayoralty. Many Whigs, by their votes, will
endorse this assertion at the polls to-day. He should
be elected, and will be, if the voters do what is
-.,-
best for themselves. ,
We have been asked by manyof our political
opponents, whether we intend to 'Claim the elec
tion of Dr. Kerr as a party triumph. We an
swered them, as we answer all now, that we will
not. We do not pretend that.-there is now a
Democratic majority in the city.:.(though we ex
pect to see the day when there will be.) A can
vass fur Mayor, conducted as the Present one has
been, can be no test of party strength.
We hope for the election of the Democratic
ticket throughout. because it stinting a change
in the administration of the affairs of the city,
and for no other reason.
Let all turn out today, and vote as conscience
and good sense dictates, and werstill not lament
the result.
At the dinner in the City of Washington, in
honor of Gens. Quitman and Shields, (as we learn
from a correspondent of the Fennsylvanian,) the
Hon. Hzvsunv Jortsrsom, one r;f.the Senors from
Maryland, who is a Whig, declaVed that "the war
is a just war, and should never be terminate) until
we had obtained every indemnity which we have
a•rigbt to demand, for an unjustifiable invasion of ,
our territory, and for past aggressions upon the
property of our citizens, He was bold and em.
phatic in his style, and received great applause."
Thus we find, occasionally, a man connected
with that party, who is not Only a patriot, but
who dares to avow it. The old Federal party ,
however, were in the same position, in 1512, whirl
the Whig party, generally, now occupy; and
notwithstanding this, some professed Federalists
truly sustained the country doling the war. It i,
recorded in Sacred Writ, that one righteous f 7107 1-
besides Lot—would have effeCted the salvation of
Sodom. Can we wonder, then, that the Federal
party still survives, when there can be found TWO
patriots among its leaders?
7 We copy the following article from the
Gauge of yesterday, in onler that the public may
know the facts, in relation to-the parties who ra in
for telegraphing the message of Governor Sun NG,
and the time it was issued. The Gazette's state
meat fully confirms our article of Friday last :
In justice to the parties who paid for the late
message of Governor Shunki sent by telegraph,
we submit the following ekplanation, to place the
papers who issued it upon the.proper footing. We
give the close of the contract-upon which the doc•
ument was sent to Pitttsburgh :
uThst - pirtietrOsiring the Message on these
terms, %till leave their names up to 12 noon of the
Ist January, and the arrantement then closed or
abandoned as the signers May decide."

Governor Shunk, upon a, pledge given by: the
Telegraph Company, furui•bed a copy in ai:vance,
which was transmitted to Pittsburgh over the
wires, the labor closing at'44 ♦. x. on Wednesday
morning. Copies were made by the Gazette, Post
and Jourrial, which were, by agreement, given in
charge of Mr. Brooks, the Manager. At eleven
o'clock on Wednesday, the copies were returned to
the papers named, upon the word of those who
represented them, that no publication should be
made until 4 e. x. Copies of the Message were
furnished by the Gazette a few minutes after four
icalagock, and was issued regularly in the .darelre of
Thursday. The Post anticipated its Thursday pub
anddistiibuted their paper of that day at
4 P. M. of Wednesday. The Journal also issued
'the document at the time. agreed upon, 4 r. x.—
Thus it will be seen, that three papers, which paid
for the Message, issued it in accordance with their
contract. A simultaneouspublication was agreed
upon, and if a copy from the Gazette, Journal or
Post appeared before four o'clock., It was not hon
orably obtained.

'Under the imposing ant! startling head of t•Eili.
tonal Correspondence—Corrußtion in high places
Proscriptioti in the Post Office Depatlment;"--
the Plain Dealer of January '4th .haiUn article
of two columns, in which "base. attempt to con
tiro' the political opinions of this paper"—na ty
ran!, and d_ most unmitigated one,"—a , temitempt
diseouraging, and disgraceful " proceeding
and the South, or any of "their official bullies," are

tion to the Postmaster General. In addition to
these expressions, the editor of that paper asserts,
in relation to the general administration, that, "it
was supposed that such a course as L mere sec
tional polity would probably be sustained;" and
that "Mr. Cave Johnson has endeavored to bring
the whole power of the patronage of this Depart
ment, to bear against the cause of Auti Slavery
generally."
This choice collection of expressions, is copied
from what profuse: to be a Democratic newspa
per; and the editor of which asserts, that it is "the
oldest Democratic paper in - Cleveland." And
what is the cause of all this casting iii/of bile, by
the editor of the Plain Dealer? He has recently
been on a visit to the seat of government, for the
purpose of trying to secure a portion of the public
printing; and be failed to accomplish the object
of his visit. hied the editor of one of the,profess:
edly Whig papers gone there, with 'the same oh
ject in view, he would unquestionably have inet I
with the same reception. And why is this?—
.Let the editor of the Plain Dealer himself answer.
He says he' was told by the Postmaster General.
that his paper was looked upon as favoring the po
litical heresy known as the "Wilmot Proviso,"—
an expedient originating in Northern Federalism,
with a view to -satisfy the fanatical abolitionists.
He also tells us, that the Postmaster General is not
disposed to favor the pretensions of these abolition
ists, by appointing them to office;—thus giving the
sanrCtion of the chief officers of government, to
an organization which the people, every where,
have condemned.
We know not the precise motives which have
led M.. Johnson to adopt the course alleged ; but
we can- - imagine reasons for it, which would seem
;to suggest themselves at once, to the mind of every
•:,man, honestly aiming to carry out the great doc.
trines of the Democratic party—the doctrines oft.
the Constitution. It was believed by him whoj
has been reverently styled the "Paler Parris; M
that it was moral treason against the government
to appoint to offices, in which political influence
can be exercised, men whose political principles•
are inimical to the doctrines upon :which our ,
government is founded. Such was the view taken
by Mr Jefferson. Such has-been the view taken
' by every Democratic President, to a greater or
lesser extent. We presume, therefore, that the
Postmaster General, in making appointments to
office, as well as in dispensing the business of the'
department, asks not what are the particular pro.
fusions of individuals—(for these may be uttered
: for the purpose of securing mere personal ends)—
but what are the influences exerted by them— .
whether in accordance with the usages, principles,
and aims of the Democratic party of the Union'
or not. Such, so far es we have had an opportn•
oily of determining the matter, has been the con
stunt effort of each member of our present ad
The opinions of Mr. Gray,—(those of any other
man)—are his own. He has a right to the free
enjoyment, and the free expression of them. Fui
I.
this, no one will question him. But where he as i
Burnes that, because he chooses to adopt any vis
ionary abstraction, or any disorganising scheme 4
that may be started by Federalists, the Democratic
party and its agents, who are bound to act in ac
cordance with its will, is under obligations to
sustain him, he is most egregiously mistaken..
For one, we ask to be sustained by our political
friends, only so long as we shall adhere strictly to
the great landmarks of the Democratic party.
Whenever we shall swerve from the line thu.
marked out—Whenever wellihall sanction any
general principle, not sanctioned by the mass of.
our party, and favored by the Federalists, then'
we shall expect to be discarded by our party ; then
I we shall look to those, whose interests wd are
subserving, for support.
For the editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer to'
talk of CAVE JOHNSON as a man "living upon
the reputatibn of former services, and trading Up
on a'stock 'of integrity long since 'exhausted,'' is
to descend ifs'r lower in the scale of malignbrit
detraction gartn any Whig, who has known that
gentleman for the last twenty years, and who va• '
lues his own reputatibnotould dare to go. 31r.
Johnson has always been known, as one of the
most energetic, persevering, and faithful of pbblic
officers; and nothing but the most envenomed and
degrading party rancor, or unwarrantable perpon
al hatred, would sanction an accusation so utterly
I ui just.

to $256,913 58 ;. being an irmrease of $46,278 39

the'same period have been $179,901 49, or an in

year... These statements exhibit a gain of receipts
from trinisportatlon of twenty-two per cent. over
those ofthe previous year, and an increase of ex
penditure of a fraction over ten per cent."
The report also exhibits an increase of tonnage
on the road between Baltimore and York of 48,
854,022 lbs., and on the Wrightsville road of 20,-

ing Increase over the net receipts from the same
source iluring the previous year of $25,863 03.
The debts of the company (exclusive of interest
on kW" for the construction of the road) as shown '
by the )ast annual report,r:mounted, on the 10th or
Octobe'r, 164 G, to the sum of $35,073 85. By
referenCe to the annexed statement, No. 1, it will
be seen : that the indebtedness of the company had
been reduced, on the 7th October, 1847, to $2,801.

$32,272 GO of pre existing debts, exclusive of a
payinut of $30,000, made to the State of Maryland

In conclusion the Directers say—qt is hoped
that, 4t no distant day, by the completion of the
propo" , !ed extension, and the Central Railroad of
Pennsylvania, and other improvements now pro
gressing in that State, Baltimore will have a con
tinuous railroad connection, not only with Harris
burg, but with Pittsburgh and western New York.
The realization of this hope, confidently entertain
eiA, cannot fail to make the Baltimore and Susque•

The following Preamble and Resolutions were'
unanimously approved by the meeting: I 1
WHEREAS, Our common country is at present
engaged in a war with a neighboring nation, the i
prosperous issue of which is seriously jeopardiied
by the moral treason that is daily uttered q a
portion of the Press and People belonging to iitir
own household, it becomes us, on all fitting once.
sions, not only to sustain and encourge her in he
right, but to condemn and denounce those Who
seek to place her in the wrong.
The ingenuity of the domestic enemies of .she
government has been severely taxed, in their efforts
to misrepresent its diplomatic transactions, lind
military movements, subsequently to the annexa
tion of Texas, forgetting, in their abandonment of
its most sacred claimson their love anti allegiance.
the following indisputable facts:
That the Mexican representative at Washin4ton,
following up the insolence of the Mexican cre
tary of State, proclaimed, - during the pendinp of
the annexation resolutions, that their passage
would be viewed by his government as a declara
tion of war.
That in obedience to his instructions - ' imMedi.
i
ately after their passage, the same dignitary t ook
the first step of war, by demanding his passivarts
and returning to Mexico.
That the manifesto of the army of reserlre, at
San Louis Potosi, on the 20th December, 6848,
three months previous to Gen. Taylor's aditance
from Corpus..Christi,a position west of the Nieces,
which, even Mr. Gallatin admits, was rightfully
occupied by our troops, in which Herrera was
denouncel for "repeatedly threatening the advance
of the army on Texas, and for admitting a minister 1
to negotiate for the loss of the integrity kit' the
I Republic," after the lone star had merged herself
in our glorious Union. was as positive a declaration
of war, and of the disposition of the ruling povrer I
in Mexico, as if it had emanated from thetiegisla- I
Live halls.
That this manifesto was but the prelude to the
downfall of Herrera-, and the elevation of tithe off
spring of revolutionary sentiment, ParedeS, on the
20th December, 1845. '
1
That Herrera, fearing the army, the potent ruler
iof both legislature and people, had retifsed the
peace offering sent in the person of Mrl Slidell,
under the most trifling pretexts, and l'eretles
pledged to the reconquest of Texas to the Sabine,
answered the repeated overtures of our minister
with the promise of 60,000 troops to sulalue the
revolted province, together with bloody hinds and
hospitable graves to the fellow citizens of his dis
tinguished ally of Ohio. ' 1 1
That -a formal declaration of war was made by ,
Mexico, on the 26th of April, 1646, newt a month'
) 1
previous to the acknowledgement, on t e part of
the United States, that war existed by I e act of
Mexico, and that the butcheries of Cros , Porter,
and Thornton were perpetrated, before e\ gun was
discharged, or a sword drawn, by our soldiery.
That Texis, in her character as an independent
nation, had declared her western bound` to be
the Rio Bravo, had incoporated this wee ern limit
in all her fundamental laws, and had 'exercised
sovereignty in the territory between: the Rio
Nueces and the Rio Grande, and at one point at
\ least, up to the eastern bank of the latter. 4.•
1 And finally, that Mexico never wouldi admit an
issue of boundary that did not involve the whole
I of Texas up to the Sabine; and that nothing hut 1
blood would atone for its loss. Be it therefore
I
Besotted, That Mexico, by the acts of her mm 1
ister at Washington, the manifesto of the array of
Reserve at San Lois Potosi, the insultini rejection
of the repeated overtures for negotiation, the pus I
posed concentration of a War establishment oil
60,000 men on the Rio Bravo, and the declaration
of the 23d April, 1646, at her Capitol, is respon-1
sible to God and the community of Nations, for
the calamities growing out of the present war.
Rewired, That the murder of our brave officers
and men, in April 1846, were the first ci!vert acts of \
hostility and blood, and would of themselves have
required that our government should avenge their
deaths.
Resolved, That the annexation of Texas to the
United States, afforded no just cause jof war on
the part of Mexico, a truth now almost universal
ly admitted.
Resolved, That the proposition of Mexican Com
missioners to the authorities of Texas, suggested
by European interference, to acknovi fedge her in
depence with the western 'limit of the :Rio Grande,
under the condition that she would leirever refuse
annexation to the United States, wasas insulting' .
to the United States as it was degrading' to Alexi '
co,.and gave us ample apology to defend Texas,'
as she offered herself, and as Mexicci, proposed to
negotiate her, up to the Rio Bravo. ?
Resolved, That the declaration of Mexican sym
pathisers, that the administration coMmenced the
war, and ventured the national calamity for no
other purpose than conquest, is disprrived by every
order that has reached our armies, aild the instruc
tions of every minister dispatched tol consult with
the Mexican cabinet; all demonstrating a pacific
disposition which has been displayed before and
after the hundred victories of our aiMs, since the
war commenced, and as often put aside by Alexi
can authorities. 1
Resolved, That the recent demiMstration of
Whig sentiment, in the passage of :Ashmun's a
mendment, in the House of Representatives, at
Washington, declaring the present :war unconsti•
tut ional, and brought on by ExecutiVe usurpat'on,
may prolong the emit' ct, and aid ti the Mexican
lancers in moistening Mexican soihwith Ameri
can blood—yet, neither the treason ttor the traitors
will soon be torgotten.t
Resolved, That the masterly diplOmacy of the
American Secretary of State, that Ilis distinguish
ed his writings before and. since the commence
ment of hostilities with Mexico, his given him
an enduring fame throughout the civilized world,
and endeared him to the patriotic and true hearted
