The Locofocos, through the President,
brought on the war with Mexico. By
bringing on the war, they have caused
thousands and thousands of our citizens to
fall by pestilence. They defeated and have
condemned the efforts of the Whigs of the
last Congress to make an appropriation for
the relief of the Irish famine, and now
they are relying upon the famin to keep
up the prices of produce. So they are
emphatically the war, pestilence, and/am

COLONIZATION Or►ica,
Philadelpkis, Dec. 1516, 1841.
The Pennsylvania Colonization Society
solicits the aid of the humane, in effecting
the liberation of a large number of slaves,
whose freedom is conditional on their go
ing to Liberia at an early day. Fifty dol
lars is die estimated expense of colonizing
an individual, while benevolent planters
sacrifice ten-fold that sum in the gratuitous
emancipation of each slave. Among those
now offered to the Society, there are sev
enty in Virginia, thirty in Louisiana, and
several hundreds in other Suites, including
a number of intelligent colored . persons in
our immediate vicinity, whose services
would be very useful to the new republic.
A part of these poor people will lose their
freedom, if not colonized next month.—
On their behalf we earnestly invite the co
i operation of the benevolent; especially
when so small a sum as fifty dollars will
confer freedom and a freehold in the land
of his fathers, on a fellow creature.

A. Although the action orhloroform is more
complete, there being protond coma, yet the in
sensibility to pain, and peratteney of this, does not
4 difer from that whielt I here generally produced

6. The most eateriesl difference appears to me
to be this: Cldoroforri does not exhilarate or Sim

Ether operates as • tei3porary admukts.
7. The all importedt question, whether it is as

It is certainly Larinckmore povierfil agent than'

debate and action. We annex an extract or two
from a letter of a friend, adverting to such matters
of interest as have already transpired.
HARRISBURG. Jan. 11,1848.
MR. BIIERLIR :—The businen's of the
Legislature is progressing very • slowly,
and, from the little advancement thus far
made, there is every prospect of a very
long session and a very stormy one.
Resolutions have been offered, glorify
ing the course of President Polk in rela
tion to the Mexican war, which will very
likely occupy some weeks in debate and
afford those "valiant heroes," who would
rather wage war on the floors of Congress
and our Legislative Hills, secure and safe
•from the dangers of the battle-field, than
on the blood-stained soil of Mexico, an op
portunity to give expression to their burst
ings of patriotic eloquence.
The House passed, by an almost unani
mous vote, (ayes 90, nays 3,) a resolution
"directing our Senators and Represents
in Congress to vote for a repeal of the Law
of last session in relation to postage, requi
ring postage to be paid on newspapers cir
, eulating in the mail within thirty miles of
office of publication, and transient news
papers to be paid before admitted into the
mail." It will, 1 think, pass the Senate.
Yesterday, a resolution was ()tiered to
I direct the Committee on Banks to enquire
into the expediency of passing an act to
authorize the destruction of the Relief
Notes at present in use, and replace them
by a new issue. The resolution was vo
ted down by a large majority, so that, al
though this would be much required from
the, miserable state of the great bulk of the
torn sad ragged relief notes now in use, I
fear it will not pass, this session.
The committee to decide die contested
seat of Mr. GOFF. from Luzern°, meets
every day ; but little has yetbeen accomp
lished, and appearances are such as to in
duce me to believe - the matter will not be
closed for some months. .
A most vile and wicked attempt was
made, on Thursday night last, to destroy
Herr's Hotel, my stopping place, by fire.
I bad retired about 10 o'clock, and about
11 was roused up by persons coming to
my door, and calling to me that the house
was on fire. After looking around, we found
that some person, or persons, had got up
to the fourth story and, after stealing a
trunk, some linen, and two pair of boots,
one pair of which were mine, they went
iota the room out of which the trunk was
taken, and threw a large quanity of burn
ing stone-coal on the bed; and, had it not
been that the gentleman who occupied the
room, (Mr. Un.rerz, the member from this
county,) came up shortly afterwards, the
house would have certainly burned to the
grpund. No one can tell the sad result it
might - have brought with ft, as perhaps
more than 100 persons were sound asleep
at the time. Yesterday evening, file trunk,
boots. &c. were found in the possession of
a negro, and, before night, he and his ac
complice, (another negro,) both of whom
Mr. nuts had discharged some months
since for improper conduct, confessed their
guilt, and were lodged in jail for trial, on
Monde. nett. ,

nue.m. oF Ciliti. SCOTT.—The intend
ed recall of Gen. SCOTT from the command of the
army which ho has so g lorimiely led in its trium
phant march in Mexico, by the 'Administration,
has beau S l imly rumored for 'some weeks MIA
j 34410 Oaring injustice and manileit impeller of
Vie'act *vented any seno r comideratiams being
pittioaktit was deemed amt- lietumor, What
was mere vague rumor, however, has" within a few
days assumed shape and local habitation. Tele
graphic despatches to the N. York Tribune, North
American, and other paper., announce that last ,
week, it was determined in Cabinet council to RE
CALL OEN. SCOTT, and theta messenger had
already been despatched with the order ! It is also
said that Oen.. Women, Pri.tow, &e., have been
WAN! folreeirOrtri;'witere Cotirt Maria fits '
been convened Iffer their trial. Officers of the army,
on leave of absence, me also to return immedide
ly to their posts.
Ws give theist statements for what they ore
worth. The Ninth American, which seems in
clined to credit them, has the Wowing wide su
the sahleci
unix ERCALL or Scoix.---Rumors have
been afloat for some diiyi indicating the re
call of Gen. Scott from Mexico,which we
have not, from the monstrous haracter of
the story, deemedit necessary seriously to
notice. We could not believe it possible
that, in the full blaze of his military tri
umphs, Gen. Scott could be arraigned as a
criminal, dragged from under the colors
that he had borne from Vera Cruz, through
Cerro Gorda, Contreras, Chutubuseci, Mo:
lint) del Rey, and Qhapoltepec, conquering
impossibilities, and winning for our arms
an immottal glory ; we say that we could
not believe it possible that this great chief
should be arrested and stigmatized as an of
fender.
Who is hie accuser t He has none.—
What is his offence t NO one is alleged
but that he has won trophies for his coun
try, which all time may envy. Under
such circumstances, who could believe that
an outrage so extraordinary, so unexam
pled could be perpetrated. He is in the
midst of a eareeer of unparalleled triumph
—he is the terror of all Mexico—he has
the unbounded confidence of his own troops
and of the country. His has been the plan
of those glorious operations—Ais is now
the plan by which they are to be, conso
nantly with the past, carried out. That
plan is, in reference to its most important
and minute details, in the bruin of its au
thor alone.
To drag such a General from such a ca
reer iv wholly without a parallel. All ages
have reproached the eupercession of Lu
culltts .but this measure leaves no triumph
for the successor, for the entire policy must
be deranged by the removal of its head,—
The French Directory thus recalled their
Geoetali—but tieverl» the midst of unin
terrupted victories—and France has no
page in her history, to compare with the
progress of Scott in Mexico.
By our Telegraphic despatch it will be
seen that this measure has ben resolved
upon. It will thrill every nerve of the Re
public with indignation against the Admin
istration that thus sports with the rights of
the nation's benefactors. It will be remem
bered that Gen. Scott has been accused
by no man ; that the nation is his sponsor ;
that no offence is alleged or suspected ;
and that the measure springs alone from a
dark, selfish and machiavellian policy that
would sacrifice the honor and glory - cif the
country to secure a party triumph.
We have seen this administration ap
pointing Taylor and attempting to de
grade him; persecuting Scott, and then
appointing him, and playing the one against
the other iu the vain attempt to break down
both ; but we were not prepared, the coun
try is not prepared to witness, with patience,
an outrage so serious as the recall of Gen.
Scott in the full carreer of victory, without
.a crime charged or an accuser acknowl
edged."
THE BRAG GA ME.—A Virginia Whig pa
per informs its readers that "in Pennsylvania all
parties are following into the support of Gen. TA a•
LOS for the Presidency;" while • Washington
paper announces upon the authority of "a distin
guished citizen of Maryland just arrived from An
napolis," that every Whig member of the Legisla
ture of Maryland has indicated a preference fur
the same individual. The first of these announce
ments will excite a smile among knowing ones in
this quarter; the Fred. Examiner speaks to the
second, by avowing that it has in its possession
letters from at least TWO Whig members of the
Maryland Legislature denying the truth of the
statement, and affirms that a majority of the dele

LATENT FROM MF: X ICO.-•-Tilere have •
been several arrivals from Vera Cruz at
N. Orients recently, but none bringing in-
Jelligence, of any important movement.—
Gen. Butler with his train and reinforce
`intents hail reached the Capital, and it was
umored that Gen. Scott designed to de
plane!' a tree to attack Queretaro, where
Ifie Mexican Congress, or as much of it
as could be embodied, and Government,
were located. The New Orleans Pieay
,wie,, however, 'xi:4mm* the belief that
Gen. Scott had no designs upon Queretaro
itself, unless to pass through that place in
order to reach San J.,ouis,rotosi and Zaca
tecas, upon which, itur capitaleof States of

the same nae,The was represented is
platthing expeditions upon the arrival "&“ -1
Gen. Butler. Many Army Officers, both
Regulars and,Volunteers, arrived at New
Orleans - Trom the seat of War on the ves
sels from Vera Cruz.
Moan Rualoas.—A report is current at
Washington, among military men, and gen
erally-believed, that Generals-Jessup-end
Twiggs have exchanged commissions, and ,
that the latter will return to the U. States
as Quartermaster General. The former,
an old -Brigadier, is senior to every gen
eral officer in the regular army, except
Scott, Taylor and Gairies, and will, doubt
less, be assigned to command with his bre
vet rank, dating, we believe, from 1824.
This, in ease of accident to Gen. Scott or
his recall, would place the command of the
army in Mexico in the hands of Gem: Jes
sup, instead of one of the temporary of
ficers.
Mons riItRITORY.--A New Orleans
paper says that Col. Doniphan, while in
that city, remarked that he would not give
a rod Missouri farm for the whige of
Chihuahua and Santa Fe. The same pa
per states that Gen. Taylor gave it as his
opinion that that part of Mexico through
which he had passed, was not worth a good
Louisiana sugar plantation. An officer
writing home from Mexico says, that if he
were the Executive and Senate of the U.
States, lie would never make peace with
Mexico unless she would agree to take
back all we have conquered, including
Texas. That's an encouraging view of
the more territory question !
AN INSURRECTION PRETENTED.--The
Philadelphia Inquirer mentions having
seen a letter of late (late, from an officer of
the army, which states that an insurrec
tion was about to break out its the city of
Mexico, and that it had. bees discovered
by Gen. Scottjust in time to prevent seri
ous results. The affair had created great
excitement, and a more rigorous policy of
vigilance and precaution had immediately
been adopted.
A Goon Paorosirms.—Mr. Dickey
has moved in the House of Representatives
a preamble and resolution, on the subject
of the war with Mexico. The resolution
is in the following words :
Resolved by ihe .Sesiole isrtel /louse of Represtnia
tires el,. That a committee-of fire members of the
Senate and five of the House of Representatives,
be appointed, whose duty it shall be to invite a con
ference with the Preildent of the U. States, to ad
rise and consult upon the boat mode of termina
ting the existing war with Mexico in a manner
honorable and just to both beligerenta; and that
the committee report to each house respectively,
the result of the conference, either in open or 0—
c.et session, as may be by them deemed.iilvisabln.
If the committee was appointed as sug
gested in this resolution, and the President
would interchange opinions freely with
the members, it is probable that an honor
able peace might be obtained from Mexi
co. But if, on the contrary, the President
should refuse to express his intentions to
the committee, it might proceed to frame a
declaration of those of Congress, and the
conditions on which peace ought to be
made. In either case, good might arise
to the country.—Clipper.
If the WIIMA had their way-if they
could carry whatever appropriations they
pleased, the people's money would flow
like water.—.V. Globe.
The PRESIDENT hall had his own way
in the Mexican war, and the consequence
has been that blood has "flowed like wa
ter," and money has flowed like blood.—

SAND'S SARSAPARILLA.TiIie prepara
tion is a combination heretofore unknown
in the history of medicine, differing entire
ly in its character and operations from the
various preparations of Sarsaparilla which
have been at different times offered to the
public. It acts specifically upon the whole
system, thereby bringing it under its direct
and immediate influence. Although pos
sessed of powerful and controlling effects,
yet it is entirely harmless, so that it can
not injure the most delicate constitution.
‘Vhen in perfect health, no effect is pro
duced by its use except an increase of ap
petite; but when . disease is seated in the
frame and hurrying fast its victims along
the path of life, then its mysterious influ
ence is felt and seen ; it enkindles new life
and vigor and brings health and strength
back to the suffering and diseased.

the class of diseases for which it ta applicable.—
Its peculiar composition enables it to act in a
kindly manner uponsliseasederipans; soothing ir

vessels from offensive matter, which otherwise
would aggravate disease, and ultimately result in
confirmed consumption.

The following is from Dr. Young, the distin

Philadelphia, Jan. 18, 1847.
Having used in my practice, as well as in my
own family,.‘Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar
and Wood Naptha," I have no hesitation in say
ing that it is the nese in of the kind

Harrisburg, Nov. 18, 1845
Dr. S. P. Thompson —Dear Sir: I consider it a
grateful duty to publicly acknowledge the benefit
I have derived from the use of your invaluable
medicine, the ComPOund Syrup of Tar and Wood
Naphtha. In the spring of 1844, I was taken ill
with bilious fever, and was very ill for a long
time. After I had partially recovered, my physi
cian informed me my lungs were affected, and
treated me accordingly. His skill had no effect,
for instead of getting better, 1 daily grew worse.
I was finally informed by him that "I was inert
rabic, and Inuit die, and that nothing remained
but preparation for another world." My weak
ness increa'ed until I was confined to bed; I had
very severe pains in my breast, aide and back.
shortnets of breath, and I was so very hoarse that
my voice could not be heard, unless the ear was
applied close to my mouth. 'My cough was ter
rible, harassing me night and day, so that I could
obtain very little .rest. While suffering in this
' way, with no relief, I.saw your advertisement in
the "Union," of this borough, with the certificate
of a lady of Philadelphia appended, which so neat
ly described my case, that ; I resolved to try your
medicine and its effect upon me. I accordingly
sent to your agent, Dr. M'Pherson, and procuied
a bottle. I had not used more than one.third of
it, before the hoarseness left me I then took it
regularly ; the pain-in my breast, &c. left me; the
shortness of breath and cough was removed, and
I am now able to walk about with renewed health
and vigor. You can make what use of this you
please. lam willing to give any satisfaction
that may be requited
.of me if called on penituall
iy. With great respect, . I remain your's. &c.
