WHIGS, ARE YOU ALL READY?
TURN OUT!—TURN OUT!—THE TIME HAS,
COME FOR DECISIVE ACTION! - •
Freemen, ere you ready Have you consid
ered, honestly and dispassibriately the questions
involved in the present contest, arid , are you now
ready to decide with your ballots on Tuesday next?
Have yea reflected upon the fact that James
K. Polk and his friends,in.lB44, proclaimed them
selves, in the loudest (cites, in favor of the Tariff
polcy, and that, no Sootier bad he been elected
President, than they turned about and destroyed
what thsy promised to sustain?
Do you remember the foolish noise and eicite.
ment raised with regard to the annexation of '
Texas? Did we not tell y0u,.0, deceived and
'misguided people of Penney ivanie !,--thatif Texas
were ftnnexed, a disastrous, bloody and endless
war with . Mexico would inevitably ensue; that
a debt of several hundred millions would take root
and grow out of such war, casting its dark. she
'owe in every direction, to hang, likea plague, over
the toiling, industry of the people ; that Slavery ;
like a monstrous viper, would coil its loathsome
length around the pillars of our institutions, cast
ing its fangs into Northern I-Industry, and hissing
foreversin the ears of Northern Freemen !=and
tlikt the odious Sub-Treasury, and the policy of
Frei-Trade would be established and carried out
to the fullest extent!
, • Now, what is the result!
"—As soon as Polk - had been elected, Texas
was annexed and war virtually declared. _The
hra:le Gen. Taylor was ordered to take up ciposi
tiuu 6ri the banks of the Grande River, with but
three or four thousand men, and yet with -this'
force, he was expected by the - cowardly Polk, to
repel the attacks of the enemy, who bad over
twenty thousand men to meet
Gen. Gaines; who was ,theit in New Orleans,
perceiving the great danger Gen. Taylor and his
little band of men had been plaCed in, ordered
. out with all haste arid promptness, ten thousand
additional troops from Louisiana, and the adjoin•
ing States. The troops were gathered ., together;
mustered into service, and were about leaving
New Orleans fur the seat of war, When Polk orders
the arrest of the brave old 'General, proclaimed
hitn crazy and his conduct foolish, orders him on
to Washington to be court-martailed, disbands the
,troops, and abandons Gen. Taylor, then fighting
:on Mexitan soil, to hie fate ! The expense in
curred for Calling out and then suddenly' dismiss.
ing these troops, was upwards of one million of
dollars, the whole of which was thus fool
ishly, and wickedly thrown away through the
ignorance and obstinacy of James K. Polk !
—Look at it! Remember it!
So insufficient and irregular were Gem Taylor's
su'pplierr and-reinforcements that; after achieving
the glorious victories of .Palo Alto, and the La
Patina, be Was unable to follow up his success
sad harriss the enemy in his retreat, • Thus,
things had gone on from day to day when, to add
insult to wickedriess,'Polk sent do. Cuba for Santa
Anna,Whither be had been, ordered on half•pay by
his government,' requesting him to return to Mex
ico, and to save him from being taken prisoner
by our army, ha was provided) with passports
signed by ate said James K. Polk, as President o
United Stated
Here, then, we see the Executive of the Nation'
refusing reinforcements to the brave Gen. Taylor,
ti x
and not 60 'sfiel with that, he-thrusts upon him,
backed with s army of twenty to thirty . .housand
men, this: notorious one-legged villain, Santa
Anna! ' Look at the thousands who bave fallen
under his sword, and ask yourself which is the
most guilty : Polk, who furnished the man, Or the
man who became his instrument!
But all this would not conquer Rough and
Ready ! lie has proved himself superior to Polk
and Santa 'Anna both; and while he defeats the
latter in battle, his friends here will defeat the
former at the polls. ~
But look at the valuable lives that have been -
sacrificed in this bloody and outrageous - war 1
Upwards of twenty thousand of our gallant and
brave countrymen have been killed, sod we are
now no nearer to an honorable Peace than the'day
the war was commenced! ' Gen. Scott can proceed
noTtirther without reinforcements—Gen. Taylor
can get no farther without reinforcements, and
whati.therefore, is to be done? Are our soldiers to
waare out their lives in the enemy's country with
the mere sickness and disease of Inactivity ?
' To be sure, Congress promptly ordered out
fifty thousand troirpri upon the commencement of
. hostilities—but where are they ? Why . have
they not been 'trent:stout,. when thoUsands of our
countrymen are ready .6,1 willing to volunteer 1
Look at the expense!' The war is now only
Legun, and it has cost us upwards of one hund
red and seventy-five millions of dollars ! If it
costs us this sum to support a-few thousand men,
what will it cost for fifty thousand, as authorized
"by-Congress? In four years the expenses of the
War would be from irix to ten hundred millions of
dollars—and every dollar of this sum the people
of this country must - pay sooner or later.
W e mug then retort either to direct taxation
or to the protective' tariff policy of 1842. Polk
and his miserable advisers must be thrown over
board to'obtain the ?atter, and if the-people desire
an end ofthis wholesale butchery, they had bet
ter commence at the bottom, with Francis R.
Shuck, and go on from the lowest to the highest, -
until every round of the governmental luddei is
swept clean of locofoeo occupants. .
SOMETEMG TO BE
GOP. sHrtxr rx FAVOR Ord TAX ON COAL'
The voters of Sao;lkill county will , not, we
trust;fnrget at the election on next Tuesday, the
repeiteZ attempts made.by Goy. Shank, and other
prominent locofocos, to pass d law Tasing Coal
from fifteen to twenty cents per Ton. Gov.
Shank, is the originator and wart advocitiof this
pernicious measure, and it was through his intlu.
awe and recommendation that Col. - Snowden, in
.1846,, (tbeii State Treasurer) in bra annual report
of theLimacces of the Commonwealth, pmpiAstd
tax of twenty cents pr ton on this article, which,
hoWeiver. hav ng ,been openly - opposed by the
Whip in both branches of Atli Legislature, did
not receiveAbe'sanclidu of that body: , -
What would'oor'ilsepy and - Laborers say, if
this propositinn of Sbunlis had been approved by
the friends'of Home Industry in the Leglslatiire.
and had thus becomew law I What would have
been the effect 7 (The land-holders, tt is well
known, have impoiiant adviintages over the Coal
Operators, and it o islmot probable, under ordinary
circumstances, thattbey would consent to reduce,
the price of Coal in the Mines—at all - events, they
would not bear a reduction of twenty cents per ton,
nor the half of it. Thos. 0131-vtoret could not bear
the tax, because they-find it difficult, even now,
under the operations of Polk's Free-Trade Rev 7
enue Laws, to bear up against the foreign coMpe.
tition in our own' markets,---consiquently this
enormous tar could not have been borne by them:
it would - therefore have fallen upon the Laborer.
The toiling, industrious Miner, who brings it out
from the earth, world have been the sufferer. Nor
he only. Thous.ands of mechanics employed in
furnaces. rolling-mills, forges, machine-shops, and
manufactories of all kinds, would have suffered
a reduction of wages, or been thrown out of em
ployment, had this nefarious measure become a
law. And thus a general stagnation in business•
would have ensued. similar to that previous to the
passage of the Tariff of 1842. • •
• During the late visit of Gen. Irvin to this place,
we happened to allude, in the .c course of our con-,
venation with him, to the attempts , made by
Shank, Snowden, and other Free Traders, to
bring about this 'obnoxiouS measure, when he
expressed himself in the strongest terms as oppo
sed to it, and that he had exerted himself from the
first to prevent. its becoming a law. When the
subject was agitated in 'hi - Legislature, several
prominent Free-Traders in Centre County; headed
by Mr. Bumsides, called a meeting in- Belle
fonte, to sustain Shrink's proposition, which they
did: Gen. Irvin immediately called a meeting on
the following evening, at which he repudiated the
measure in a speech of some length,.and exhibi
ted its disakrous tendencies in the strongeit and
- . .
most conclusive terms.
The people of our County have. therefore,' the
most positive assurance that in the election of Gen.
Irvin this measure can never receive the‘Executive
sanction ; while if Shunk- is eontinued, it is at
least questionable whether his assiduous efforts
to bring it into effect might not ultimately be suc
cessful. Al any rate, those who. are wise wil
look after their true interests..
A NOBLE EXAMPLE!
A man over one hundred and fourteen years of
.rige,zesiding in Tennes'see, recently walked two
miles over arough road, to vote the Whig ticket.
His name is John Van Hoozer, and he has voted
at every Presidential election that has been field
since the formation of our government. What a
noble example does the conduct' of this..patriotic
old Whig afford ! What man,enlOying the proud
attributes of the American Citiien, will r main .
at' home on Tuesday next, in the fare of
example thus given by this old Revolutionary
Patriot? The man who habitually neglects to
vote, or exercises the . privilege carelessly or for
selfish ends, is a dangerous person, and should_
be treated 'as' a common enemy to himself,, his
family, and.his country.
.While those who ex.
.ercise it rightfully and intelligently do more for
the maintenance of the public peace, and the
honor and prosperity of the country, than others
who defend it with the sword on the field of
battle. The latter is worthy a Savage—the form.
er of the enlightened Freeman.!
TO THE POLLS ! TO THE POLLS !
Friends of Removal and Low Taxes, • now is
the time to act ! Lay aside every enga4ementon
Tuesday next, and dedicate that day to the cause
of Josticcond equalTighte. Remember the heavy
taxes that will fall upon' you, people orT`tchuyl
kill county, if you foolishly refuse to remove the
Seat of Justice to Pottsville! • Avert this unnec
essary expense now that you can do it—for as
certain as that the sun shines in thy eastern firma
ment, will Removal take place five years hence
if it does not take placenow, and just as certain:
ly as that it will takellace, will the tax-payers
have to pay for the erection of the Court House,
Jails and Aces for the keeping of the. County
Records. • • • '
Up, then—arouse ! and with a determined - and
strong blow, avert the disruter that would fall
upon Inactivity ! Let Rem Oval and - Low Taxes
be the words—eyes right—march !
TAX PATERS, BE NOT DEdIVED!
jc We iiiblished a table last week . , by' which an
excess of over six thousand dollars was exhibited
in fair* of Pottsvi , le end two contiguous town.
abipir, over the Rorough of Orwigsburg and two
Contiguous townships, as assessed the present year.
From this statement may be inferred the compar
ative excess oflie amount of taxes paid by the
people of the Coal region, over those of other sic
lions of the county. TheAnti.Reduivalt, bore
ever, have alVklong been harping about the enor
mous taxes, and haVe repeatedly suited that the
people of the Coal region are a merely "floating
populace"=.-owning no property,. and having no
interest at stake in the Removal question. And
they went so far as to suggest to the Legislature,
that, in submitting the question'of Removal to
the people, a clause should be inserted denying
to all those persons who did not hold property,
the right to tote on the question!
The truth is, the people of the Opal region pay
at least twathirds of the County Taxes. They
bear, and have borne the heaviest part of the bur.
then, and•what is more to their credit, since they •
have had a representative in the County Board, a
debt of thirty-three thousand dollars has been,
paid off, (which would otherwise have continued
to bang upon as like an incubus,) and have redu
ced the County taxes for the present year, below .
the tales of the State lases—which is a feat seldom
accomplished heretofore ! Besides this, many
fine bridges have been built, important improve
ments to the Court house and other structures
made, withiri the lent year or two—all of which
has been accomplished since the . Coal region has
bada.voice in the County management.
Now, who are really the friends of low taxes!
And who really poy the largest portion of theml

Our troopi ere now completely hemmed up in
the heart of Mexican territory, without supplies,
and without the hope of receiving reinforcements,
unless of a most piwerful character. An army
of thirty thousand reen is wanted immediately,
and will have to be called out, sooner or tater ; ere
a decisive stroke for Peace can be given the'enemy.
This war is unquestionably the greatest curse,
thus far, that lifs visited our country for a long
time. We have already lost upwards ,of twenty
thousand of ,our countrymen on Mexican soil,
among them somebf the noblest 13 ntl-bes(nien of
our land. This, alone, is enough to disgust any

Sir : Youeletter of the tith ult. requesting of me an
exposition of my views on the questions of national pol
icy now at issue between the political parties of the Uni

I must take occasion to say that many of my letters,
addressed to gentlemen in the United States, in answer
to similar inquiries, have already been‘made public. and
I bad greatly hoped that all persons interested had, by
this time, obtained from them a sufficiently accurate
knowledge of my views and desires in relation to this
subject. As it appears however that such is not the. case,
I deem it proper, in reply to -your letter, distinctly to
repeat that I am not before the People of the Unitcd
States as a candidate for the nextTresidency. It is my
desire to return at the close of this war to the discharge
of those professional duties and to - the e joyn:ent of
:those domestic pursuits from which I was called at its
'commencement, and for which my tastes d education
best At me.
I deem it but due to candor to state, at th same time,
that, if I were called to the Presidential nir by the
general voice of the people, without regardto their polit
ical differences, I should deem it to be my at) , to accept
the office. But while I freely avow my attachment .to
the administrative - policy. of our early Presidents,
Lde
sire it to be understood that I cannot submit, even in
thus accepting it, to the exaction of any other pledge : as
to the course I should pursue than that of discharging
its functions to the best of my ability, and strictly in ac
cordance with the requirements of the constitution.
I have thus given you the circumstances under which
only can I be induced to accept the,high and responsible
office of President of the United States. I need hardly
add that I cannot In any case permit myselfto be brOught
before the people exclusively by any of the political par
ties that now so unfortunately divide our country.

MR. wrasTaws aaoarrr SI'EEOR
HIS VIEWS ON THE ;TRH
During the recent session of the Massachusetts
State Convention, the Iron. Daniel Webster de.
livered an able speech. Alter some preliminary
remarks, he proceeded to define his position on
the Mexican Way, the Wilmot' proviso, &c. The
f o ll o wi ng are his remarks - on the war, which we
submit to the careful.and candid perusal of every
right-fcelung,citizen
"He held that the'contlict was unconstitutional in its
origin, and founded on pretext. The laws of nations
divide motives for war into those s which are good and
those which are vicious. Those which are commenced
and carried nn for renown, conquest, and similar ob
jects, are vicious. These may be sufficient causes for
a war, between two nations, but not good motives for
one. Causes require something else; motives, good
motives are requisite. The character of the war against
Mexico is vicious ; it is a war of pretexts. The real
motive of h is not distinctly avowed.
There are three pretexts—all of them unfounded—on
which this war Is sought to be placed by its originators
and defenders. The President in his message to Con
gress,i Mity.ll, 1846, puts it on the fact that the Mexicans
have, invaded American territoty, and shed American
blood. In my opinion. thin is not comet: As early as
Jandary, 1846, our a riny was advanced beyond. the Mex
ican-houndaries of Texas, and upon the left bank of the
Rio Grande. occurred the first hostilities and the first
shedding of American and Mexican blood. Was this
the invasion of American territory and the spilling of
American blood on such territory It was soil clai Led
by the United States Executive—not by Congress—and
also claimed by the Mexican government for as Much a:
part of her territory as the capital itself, and it was more
over in her actual possession. .i*
Our troops were marched into a country claimed find
occupied by the Mexicans—is not`this war on our pant
The President's statement was not correct in point of
fact, and cannot be made so. This iea pretext. Other
causes were brought fonvard after the war commenced.
One,was, that Mexico would not receive our Minister
Plenipotentiary! Is that cause of war—for an Executive
war! Congress would not derlarmwar on such grounds.
At any rate, it was not a circumstance that called for
such speedy action• that the Executive could not lay it
before Congress, then before him. It is but another
of the unfounded pretexts on which the war is sought to
be defended.
Still anotherand the third—of these pretexts is, that
Mexico had declined to pay her debts dile citizens of this
country, This was not putt forth in the act of ICongress
fieclanng war to exist. It Man afterthought. This mat
ter of debt is one of long standing ; many sessions of
Congress had been held during the existence of the
debt. Yet no war was declared on this ground. And
if it was a cause for the war, it surely afforded no pre
tence for an, Executive war, us this is. It is a , pretest,
and nothing but a.pretext.
What, then, was the object of the war} Ido hot pro
fess to possess more, if so much, sagacity than other
men; but to me the answer to this question is as plain
as a turnpike, as visible as the sun that now shines !
An eminent statesman—perhaps the most eminent--of
the party of the administration ; indeed he is so eminent
that the wonder is that the administration does not be-.
long to him, instead of he to the administration; this
gentleman, I mean Mr: Calhoun, declared at the last ses-
Ann in Congress, that if there held been no annexation
of Texas, there would have been no war; and that the
immediate cause of the war was the orde'ring, by, the,Ex
ecutive, be it remembered, of our troops to advance from
Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande. Hence this question
is settled--no annexation. noway.
I am no apologist for Mexico.: I have a poor opinion
of the Mexican government. linty the 'people of the
country, and should pity them the more if they knew the
state they were in. It is the worst governed of any
country-inthe world that, pretends 10 be civilized.
bas been for twenty years the prey of every military
upstart, who bad money enough to get up a miserable
army. From 1836. when was the battle of San Jacinto,
to 1812, Mexico had-no authority over Texas, no just
claim upon her territory. in 18414,3, Team . ; was an in
dependent government, so nominally, so practically, so
recognized by our own and other governments.--Mexico
had no ground of complaint hr the annexation of Texas;
we are the party to complain--we did not want Texas.
But she did take offence ; she persisted in claiming Tex
as as her' province, long as it had been an independent
territory,[and broke off terms of amity with our govern
went,. calling home her ministers, and trfasing to receive
our own But this was not war-=very fartrom it.
I contend that the.precise object of the war was simply
this : Paredesbernine President in March 1845. Santa
Anna, was exiled to Cuba, triton what is called half-pay,
in June of the same year. But tie was discontented with
his residence there, and I have ,strong ,suspicions that
his half-pay was never paid. Through 1645 this state of.
things continued ; matters between the countries were
unsettled and unsatisfactory. Mexico held back, and
was warlike in her tone. In January, 1848,. the United
States army was ordered to .the Rio Grande; in order
says Mr. Buchanan, to act as Congress should authorize
in case of the rejection
~of Mr. Slidell then in Mexico.
At this time came forth rumors that Santa Anna was
more favorable to peace, that is, more willing to accom
modate on the annexation difficulty, than Paredes; and
on that very day in January. a message was sent to
Commodore Conner of the Gulf Squadron, sayingthat if
Santa Anna came that way to let him into Mexico. How
came .it to be supposed that he was likely to come that
way?
About the same time, Alexander Slidell, brother to the
Minister to Mexico, was sent to Cuba by the Govern
ment. At this time a person named Brown was an agent
of the United States there. It was a matter of general
conversation in Cuba that Santa Anna had been invited
to return to - Mexico by the United - State's authorities.
The President said Paredes was the obstacle in the.
way of settling our difficulties. The interference is plain,
st
Gn rong.
the 11th of May war actually commenced. On the
Ist of June a proclamation, prepared at Washington,
was sent to- Gen. Taylor„-th be distributed broadcast
throughout Mexico, as he progressed into the Country.
This purported to give the causes of the war to the
Mexicans. "
It set forth that we are *fends of Mexico; that the
war was waged on account - of the debts, and the rejec
tion of - Mr. Slidell by the then existing Government, and
a supposed declaration of Paredes, of which I never
heard or could ever learn any other authority. The fat
is slot stated, intimated or alluded to, that wad in the act
of war. It was said that we came as friends, and that
we desired to keep the Mexican Goveniment from fal
ling into the ha hAs or, a European prince, a proposition
to which effectAt WAS. Shown out, was on foot..
Borne time in the some month, 'June, Santa Anna•
went to VeralCruz, passed into the interior, issued his
pmclamation or , pmnunciamento. This, too, `said he
came as a friend to put down tyrants and avert' the im
pending monarchy. The ideas rind 'language are strik
ingly like those set forth thmugh'Gen. Taylor. Wheth
er Banta Anna borrowed from Mr, Polk, or,Mr. Polk'
borrowed from Santa Anna, or whether it was an extra
ordinary coincidence of thought on the part of, two great
geniuses, I will not attempt to say. Sufficient that they
are remarkably similar in language as well ns character.
Gen. Rains, under Banta Anna's pronunciamento, over
threw Paredes, and he 'in turn was banished: Banta
Anna became the bead of the nation. The sequel 'all,
know. iWar, more direful and bloody than ever, raged,
and is now only terminated by an armistice, how long
to continue 110 one knows. , • r
With equal mortification and regret 'did I teed in the
last message of the President, the admission ghat his ob
ject in assisting Banta Anna to return, to Mexico was to
overthrow the existing government and raise up anoth
er more favorable tong* . purposes. Me, hoped fo get our
of the difficulty growing out Of annexation by fomenting
a revolution in Mexico! How •undignified does this ap
pear in such a nation as ours—a nation of twenty mil
lions of people—professing to be govethed by the noblest.
and purest of motives—setting ourselves up as models
for the world. ' •
A general understanding between Salta Anna and the
President is evident fmm the facts I have stated. Banta
Anna put himself at the head of the armies,. but instead
of movingtoward peace, moved toward'wer, The Preii
dent can have the satisfaction of knowing that In the
many severe and bloody battles in Mexico, he has bad
