be fatal to let goy.
Mr. HALE, however, is of opinion the!
the wolf is- so far exhausted that there
would be no danger to the United States,
whilst there would be no 'prejudice to any
real interest of the country, in doing what
would be right in itself: what is enjoined'
equally by justice, humenity and religion.

I have been very "desirous to learn the

The struggle so far has been-between well

greatly augmented by the sale of food ; and
between manufacturers working short time ,

Mr. MIMI& BNAToS:
My hear old Friends:--4 and Mr. Du-
Annan mid the-rest of us otertijok die
President last night at York, where we
fount,lhini pretty well tuckered out, Iwvigg
gut through with all his birds-egging in the
' everloatin great city, and ready to push on'
this. meriting down Ease. I was going to;
write a line to friend Ritchie, as tie's the
Government Editor, as soon as I could
ketch up with the President, and let him .
know-how the old gentleman Mond the
journey, But I happened .te leek- into
your paper, and -I see brothdrilngerkoll, of ;
Philatielphy, sends - his letters to you.—'
This puzzled me a little at first, because I'
knew he was on Ritehis's side. Hut I
looked along, and I see lie called your_pa
per timpowerful journal die that:Ott ,
struck- me that I had read enmewhere that
"there's a power behind the throne greater:
than the throne itself." Well, thinks I,
that Ingersoll is a cunning feller, fait ho
ain't a going to get ahead of me. If he
writes to the pother behind the throne, I
will too. So, if Mr. Ritchie complains,
and.says I ought toiorote to him, I wish :
you would just smooth it over to him,`and
tell hint the reason out, and tell him when j
the old ship gets on 'tether tack, and his:
Helper gdis on behind, I'll write to Aim.
As I had come right on from Mexico the
shortest cut, and had brought a letter from
Vitieral Scott to the President, as soon as
we got to York. I run right up in the tavern!
where he stopped to give him the letter.—
Folks told me lie .was at the Astor House
—that great tavern made out of hewed
stone. So I went up, and went in, and
asked one of the waiters if Colonel Polk .
put up there! ,
"Is it Jemmy Polk ye inane ; Young
Hickory, the President f" says he.
"Sartain," says I.
"Yes," says he, "he's here ; up stairs in
his room."
Sayal., "Slit nAis chamber as quick
as you can ; I r ust see him,"
"You can't see him to-night," says he, :
"Young Hickory is tired out, and can't see ,
nobody at all, at all. Why was'nt ye on J
hand in the Governor's room if ye wanted
to see him ! All the boys had a chance
there."
Says I, "that's nothing to the pint ; I
walCon the road from Vaibingtott then,
and I'm going to see the President to-night
if I have to go through the stone walls of
this house for it."
Then along came Mr, Stutson : and
says he, "Patrick, what's the row here 1"
"here's a teller getting wrathy," says
Patrick. "because I won't let him go up
to the President's room."
At that Mr. Styson turned round to me,
and, as soon as he' see me, he ketched hold
of my hand, and, says he, "Major Down
ing, 1 am very happy to see you. I'll
show you right up to the President's room
myself. I'm sorry you was'nt here before.
We've had sonic very pleisant tea-parties
since the President has been here."
When I got into the President's cham
ber he was lying down on the bed to rest,.
and looking as tired as a rat that had been
drawed through forty knot-holes. But, as
soon as he see me, he jumped up, looking
rather wild, and says he, "Major Downing,
how are ye I didn't think of seeing you
back from Mexico so soon as this. How
does things go on there now 1"
Says I, "Colonel, they don't go on hard
ly at all. They are waiting for more help.
Scott and Taylor both are growiug rather
red and angry to think you should chuck
'em away into the middle of Mexico there,'
and then not send 'em help to tight the
way out again. And it seems to me Cot-' I
onelcyou do hold back in this business n
We too much. If you don't -send 'em
help pretty anon. them guerillas eat
our little armies all up. Why, Colonel,"
says I, "if this , war had come on in the
time of the old Gineral, my old friend
Hickory, he would a had them Mexicans
half 'whipped to death by this time. But
here's a letter from Scott; to tell ye what
he thinks about the business. I come on
post-haste to bring it. He says he won't
stir front Puellla till you send on more men
to take the place of all them that's coining
home."
The President took the letter and read a
few lines, and threw it down upon the to-'
ble ; and, says he, "It's no use ; Scott may I
grumble and growl as much as he's. a mind
to, but it's no use. This war is a concern
of my own getting up, for my own use,
and I shall manageit jest as I please.",--
Says he, "Major Downing there's reason
in all things. I. don't want them Alexi

them, upstart Generals get all the glory of

About five o'clock in the morning the
President rattled away-at my door and wa- i
keit me out of a sound sleep ; and, when 1
he fOttnd I Wasn't up, says he. "Majiii.
you must be spry, or you'll-bc too late, for
we're off nt six." ---• ...
I was up and &coda about the quickest.
and went-out, and fact, there was
~a quar
ter of a mile of soldiers all ready to escort,
us to the boat. And down we went
through whole streets full of men and wo
men, and boys and gals, of 'all sorts and si
zes. some running and crowding, and some
hollering , and hurrahing, and in a fey m in-
Ines we were aboard the steamboat, and
the bell rung, and the steamer pulled, and
otr we went on the Sound towards Con
neettcut.
The President had a little room all to
himself, and he Made me go right into it
with him, and he set down Ih an easy'
chair,-and hopo4-- -feetrAtimn-- another
and says he, "Major, I am glad to getout
of the crowd again t well lake a feW
hours of rest and comfort on this voyage.
This being President, Major, is mighty
hard work; but, after all, I like it. I've
had alioriMis time of it in New
Every body was running after me, and it
seems as though I had 6een every thing.—
I feel as though I had lived through a
whole year in these three days, and I don't
believe any body received more honors in
so short a space of time in this country."
"Well," says I, "Colonel it seems to
me a pity you told the folks at Baltimore
the other day that you should retire when
this term was up. You might go twu
terms, as old Hickory did, jest as well us
tfut, - you're so popular.:'
At that he gave me a tuck in the ribs
and a sly wink, and, says he, ....Major, don't
you understand that Telling of 'em
should'ut stand another term is jest the
right way to make 'em the more tierce to
have me. Don't you know Anthony said
Cirsar refused the crown three times, ! jest
so as to be more sure of having it place d on
his head? And jest see how Santa Anna
is working it now in Mexico. When he
gets pretty near run down, and shivering
in the wind and nothing to stand upon, he
sends in his resignation, with a long patri
otic speech about shedding the last drop of
his blood for his country, and all that, and
the people refuse to receive his resignation
and cry out 'long live Santa Anna I' and'
away he goes and 'drums up another army
of soldiers.
"But, to tell the truth, Major," says he.
"when I made that remark in Baltiniore
had some little notion of retiring. Our,
party was so cut up, things looked rather
dark ahead, and I find this Mexican war
something Ofa bothurafter alh Taylor aml
Scott commit so many blunders, I had real-'
ly then some notion of retiring when this
term is up. But, since I got along to N.
York, things seem to look brighter. I'm
popular. Major: I know I am. I should
not be surprised if the whigs made a dent
castration in my favor yet. They seem- I
ed very fond of me in Now York; and so {
did every body, every body you -null men
tion ; even the market-women took me by';
the hand and called me young llickory,!
and gave me lots of fruit. There do you!
see that pineapple on the table there?" says ;
he. "That Was given me at the Fulton
market, as we were going over to Brooklyn !
on Saturday. Cut away, Major, and help
yourself to it; it's a nice one. And here's'
a paper of most excellent tobacco," says !
he, "that was presented to me at the same
time. You go into the pineapple and I'll,
go into the tobacco, and then we'll have a
little more talk about the war."
Jest as we got cleverly under way they
sung out aboard the boat for the passengers
,to get ready- for landing. So I must rut my
yarn off here for the present; but likely
as not 'you'll hear from me again.

tie did - and - a - majnrity in CongteSit rofed

! It comes with miserable grace from the
Loeoloco side of ilw 'louse. There is a
certain man in in Mr. Polk's Cabinet—his
bosonpfriend and Most trusted counsellor
—who did the same. Robert .1. NVatker,
then a senator in the United store' from
Mississippi, and now the Secretary or the
Treasury under James K. Polk—pressed
the passage of the Bankrupt Law with all
his energies—spoke in its favor and gave
his vote for it with the ntmost alaeritv.—
Vet these Lneofocos who laud Mr. Walker
with a fulsomeness of adulation which is
disgusting, bring a charge against Gen. Ir
vin for sustaining that measure in common
with Clay and all the great men of that
Congress. The very fact that the Ilarris
burg Union and its co-laborers are reduced
to such shifts to find fault with Gen. Irvin
is the best ridence of his worth.
Every indication is favorable to his elec
tion. Mr. Shank has made himself odious
by his proscriptive course towards a large
and influential portion of his own party.
To many he has become contemptible by
his weakness of mind and indecision of
character. In not a few places his appoint
meets have exhibited a lack of judgment
and been so obnoxious to the people as to
excite hostility towards' 'him. No where
is there a general ind warm interest felt
for - bis success. There is no attachment
to his person—no respect for his intellect
or firmness of purpose. Of the professed
devotion totis cause, most is lip-service and
insincere, while all the rest is mere attach
ment to party and a desire to secure its as
cendency even in the person of such "a
nose of :rocs" as the present Governor.
There is nothing, therefore, for the Whigs
to do

They: must not be supine nor negligent.

THE ISSUE IN THIS STAI'E.The last
election demonstrated that the Whip are, in a fair
contest, a majority in Pemnsylitanist. Since that
result, there have been many and potent reports
for a widened and heightened popular sentiment
against the party no* in power. 'A debt, national
and nascent, hie spread, and is spreading, ib
shackles over the country, as a spider spine its
web over its covert; it constitutes security and em
pire to executive power, but a net to die ih for the
gnats mit of office. We have direct taxation,
endless war, boundless extension of slavery and
other pleasant imperial luxuries promised in the
Snore. The crisis may he the last *heels the bal
lot Ibex of free voters will decide. Before the au=
tumn of 1840, (should Mr. Shupk be re-elected.)
every national issue &my be secured against free
dom, by the admhnion. of a sufficient number of
stolen slave States to render our birth rights a
blank.
The people of PeunitylVahla have a greet,
holy ditty before them. We fear that they do not
realize it. That a large majority of our people are I
oppoeed to the present 'war, to the extension of eta
very, and to the *tongs dotte,by the Administra
lion to the country, We •knowi but we hold that
every Whig, that every .ciiieett, who, realizing the
crisis, !*alto • the wait without a struggle, vehe
ment and Vigorous, which it demands from the
&ion& of the pure, the peaceful and the eternal
Right, is responsible for the issue.
Theta are few to Whom political duties are plea
sant The grubs that feed upon and deal*/ the
roots-of a people's proapexity thndeleas wri gg le in
their corruption with a reptile's sense of enjoy
ment. But the duties; of patriotism to the mass of
the people stit cold and pure and stein, and need
moral constitutions fitted to breathe the Inspiring
air which is nearest Plc-oven. We teak this, all
this, from the Whig* of Pennsylvania. We ask
ardor, vigor, flingence,'attention to 'every" duty,
even the minutest. Whit Whig will dare own
that ho is a member of that pure, elevated and pa
triotic party, after his precinct shall have been car
ried by T.ocorocos in conarquence of Whig !ether
gy 1 Eloquent words are well enough,. and the
lip-vnior of aspiring politiciana rings with a gal
lant echo in anticipation of unearned victories.
But something more is detnandetl. The time ham
arrived when no Whig ran be regarded as wholly
true to the duty which he owes to his principles,
who sleeps over a consciousness that his own vi•
vinity has not been aroused to the call of the coon
try. We trust that every Whig in the Keystone :
will realize that the responsibility of this contest '
rests upon him. And especially do we trust that'
the young Whigs, those in whose bosoms our
country is cherished anti mirrored without a taint
of allistmeris, will rally in their comities and town•
chips for the sacred duty before them. The result
is not the leas momentous that it does hot ask the
sacrifice which Mr. Polk demands to sprinkle up
on the altar of slavery—the blood of freemen :
hut not the less is the linty, not thc; lighter the pen•
alty if that duty be disregarded.
The contest in this State cannot be doubtful lira. .
less Whig lethargy renders it so. The Whig can
didate for Governor is worthy 'our most contest and
enthusiastic .confidence and teal. There is no
%Milian virtue fist he does not, illustratr, There
is no movement in behalf of the moral ameliora
tion of his kind that his aid anti example do not
strengthen. - Lofty, pure. gentleand-ohoritabla itt
his personal character, Gen. Irvin is among the
clearest, smuttiest anti mostpatriatie statesmen of
the nation. Nor will this praise be contradicted
by any respectable' member of the party which
opposes hint.
'With such a candidate, and with such a rause,
there cannot he a doubt, unless false security or
guilty lethargy bstries,the hopes of the party.—
From every section of the State we receive the
most encouraging intelligence t but while we are
assured that the majority of Gen. Ir. in cannot, tin
der any circumstanrea, be less than ten thousand,
we urge upon our friends the necessity of complete
organization, constant activity, and, in short. an
ardent and earnest anti untiring devotion to the
warred duties bet Ore us--tluties which involve, not
the mere triumph of at party, hut the ...Ovation of
a land—and that the land of our birth and our
Irections.—N. iharrinao,
THE COUNTRYEets.—We arc pleased
,ta see a dispiadtion very generally manifested on
the part of the editors of the maintry press to In
duce s more liberal support of the papers of the
Interior. Ho long as men will lbws by their neigh
bors who toil unwearingly to fiwnish them with a
medium for Ines' and domestic intelligence, and
give their countenance to the numberless trashy,
self-puffing "weeklies" that hare of late become
such a nuisance in the dilfercnt cities, it cannot
be expected that the papers of the interior can
command the patronage necessary to give them a
healthful and prosperous appearance. This thing of
tending, to the "city" for products, which could be
equally well furnished by the Printers, flatters,
Shoemakers, Tailerg, and other mechanics, of our
neighborhood, cannot hut be ruinous to any place.
"No one thing can be more positively Injurious to
the real interest of a town then to go over the
heads of its mechanics, and buy elsewhere, It
bikes Out of the place money which justly belongs
at home. It discourages, and drives away honest
and enterprising mechanics. It prevents them
from advancing in prosperity, so as to add to the
seeress of their own town. Wherever you see a
poor mechanic you will be sure to see a poor toWn,
The prosperity of both arc identified."
It Is especially so with the country press. And
nil persons seem tobe more aware of the fact titan
these dame persons who patronise distant journals
to the neglect of the local press; as they are al
ways the Arai to seek out the cedttmes of the very
papem to *hose support they have MAW contrib
uted a single cent, as the medium through which
to make known their "Religious Notices," "Tem
pe-time Conventione," "Public Meetings," and
the countless other kinds of gratuitous advertise'
mama. So, too, When any local enterprise of im.
mediate interest to the town or village is in Con
templation, and it u deemedill impatient to so ,
core the influence of the prow in its !I've?, the first
at the elbow of the Printer aro invariably these
same men, who.do not seem to heve tho first con•
ception of the mestnwetof their position. -
We do not bbject-to persona subscribing to good

mote we see of it the better we ere pleased.—Pro•

Crest activity was manifested at the Capital in
the work of fortifying the environs of the city with
a view to an obstinate. defence. Seventy pieces
of Artillery had.actived from Acalruko end other
points, which theie:wero mounting u fast am pos
sible. The letters mention the arrival of Alvaret
at the head of 8,000 men, and they set down the
entire force in the city atilt:4loo armed militia and
18,000 troops of the line. These letter, further
say that the clergy are taking an active part in
the businesw, that Inns of ell kinds wore pouring
into the capital, and considerable rums of money.
In the mean time General Scott, with about 5,-
000 men, was at Ptlebla awaitingre-enforcement , ',
without which it would be ha:intone to move up•
on the capital. It Was thought be would move
on, as soon as Pen. Cadwallader's division came
up. Every thing gives indication of another ter
ribk conflict before the capital fella Into our hands.
Had Gen. Scott's forces not been reduced by the
bungling policy of the Administration, he would
itav'e been in the city long since, wil'hout a blow be
struck on either side. As at Buena Vista, the
blood of those who fall in this eneotinter will cling
to the skirt,' of the Administration.
RIOT AT ANAPOLTS.—On Monday last A
stealnboat left Baltimore on a plc:mitre excursion
down the bay. There were about MOO persona
on board the boat Including two volunteer compa
nies. The boat reached Annapolis about noon,
and remained tuna evening, the passengers spend
ing the day In the ancient city'. Nothing occur
etl to produce ill-feeling uutil shout the time the
bout way prepartyl to leave on its return to the city,
when a difficulty sprung up between ironic row
dies on the boat and others on the wharf. The
affray soon became general, mistake of all kinds
being showered to and fro between those on board
and those on shore. Finally the titles of one of
the companies oit lionni the boat were put into re
quisition, and a number of balls fired, which seri
ously *minded five persons on ehore,aome of them
reapectalde eitizeoli of Annapolia,who were endea
voring to quel the riot. Aa soon as the difficulty
commenced, the captain cut loose the boat and
ran it out into the stream, to put an end to the
tiny. It is feared that two of the wounded will die
of their injuries.
THE REASON,—The idurrishurg union, in
nn article deploring the quirt which reigns in Har
risburg, eneopnres its locstion with the manufactu
ring towns of New England, and asks, in speak
ing of the cotton chipped east and then returned
in prints--
"Now, why an not our capitalists stop some of
these bales of cotton nt the Harrisburg wharves—
give the eighty dollars to our lalairers, and take
the tea or twelve per rent profit on their capital !"
The answer, we think, to this is very plain. In
NAv Coglnial the Uovernont of Suttee have not
been able to discover a monsirr In companies in
corporated for manufacturing purposes, and con
sequently do not, Ilke Frnnris R. Shank, veto every
bill pretteuted to them for signature. They seem
to know what Frdnrir f.. Shank- doles not, that
such companies can nceotnplish great entewiles
without interfering With the regular business in
which stockholders are engaged ; while an indi
vidual, embarking his capital In it, according to
the wise head nt the head of our Stale, would
have to relinqUish his ordinary pursuits—in fact
make ft his sole busitiestp—becabao not one in
fifty thousand tuts sidlicient capital to pursue it
auceessfully.
