Upon receiviogthis information, Gen. 'ray

relief of those whom the Mexican General
had left to stiffer and die. These wagons
were promptly despatched, accompanied
by surgeons who were directed) to find and

WIIIO RATIFICATION . M66TINO AT Bos-
Ton...—Pursuant to a call signed by a very
large number of the citizens of Boston, a
great Wbig meeting was held in Faneuil
Neil s on Friday evening. The crowd was
itnmense and Most enthusiastic.
Hon. Abbott Lawrence was selected to
preside.
• A series of resolutions were offered by
William Hayden, late of the Boston Atlas.
A letter was received from the Hon.
Geo. Evans, of Maine, in reply to an invi
tation to be present., _Mr. E. expressed
cordial assent to the Whig nominations;
bat previous engagement to attend a simi
lar meeting at Augusta, prevented his being
at Fanenil Hall.
Hon. Hefei Choate then addressed the
audience. He said he knew General Tay
lor to bee good. Whig, and an honest man.
He would besurrounded with a Whig cab
inet; be was the friend of internal im
provements, and would be for improving
the navigation of our Western rivers, rather
than go 5,000 miles poking for the ruins of ]
Sodom and Gomorrah in the Dead Sea.
Mr. Chuate'e remarks were received with
immense cheering.
He was followed by Hon. George Lunt,
who was loudly cheered.
Major John P. Gaines, of Ketucky, then
addressed the meeting. He knew Gen.
Taylor intimately. and related many inter
esting reminiscences of his life—his deci
sion, firmness, sagacity on the field of bat
tle. "One word," says he, "in conclu
sion, as to General Taylor; he being a
Whig, he walks like a Whig, he looks
like a Whig, and he talks more like a Whig
than a pig can squeal like a pig. I, am
considered at home a high priest of Whig
principles, and Gen. Taylor is as I am."
The resolutions were unanimously a
dopted. and after three times three cheers
had been given for Taylor and Fillmore,
the meeting adjourned.
;
Lswas Cass.— The Detroit Advertiser,
in speaking of the nomination of this gen
tleman for the Presidency, says :—"4, to
his popularity in this city. At the two
last Governor elections, this city gave once
248 ions, and once 249 Locofoco majori
ty, which is about what they claim for the
city.
,At our charter election last spring
the issue was distinctly made on both
sides, •seass, or no Cass," and the battle
fought on this issue. The result was, he I
was whiffed in craw ward, and in the
l
city by about 100 ! So much for Case's I
popularity in Michigan, and here in this
city, where his friends live, and where he
has lived a quarter of a century. You
may judge of the cause of his unpopulari
ty among his own neighbors."
CASs ui THE Wscr.—"Circumstances"
are beginning to work against Cass at the
West. Hon. John Wentworth, of Illinois,
has been re-nominated for Congress as an
anti•Caas candidate. The Democracy of
Illinois say that Cass cannot carry the
State, although it usually goes from 10,000
to 15,000 Locofoco. The young State of
Wiswasin also repudiates the betrayer
of her interests, as will every other State
bordering qn the great Lakes.
A New CoenTr.—The Legislature of
this State, at" their last session, passed a
bill for enacting a new County, called

FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
[J' In order to place the ...STAR AND
BANNER" within the reach of every
Whig in the county during the present
campaign, which promises to be one of un
usual interest, it will be furnished to Clubs
from the present time until the election is
determined in November neat, at the low
rate of
FIFTY CENTS PER COPY,
payable invariably in advance. Any per
son procuring us five subscribers and for
warding the money, shall be furnished
with a copy gratis.
The price at which we offer the "STAR
AND BANNER," will barely cover the
expenie of its issue. Our object ie to
benefit the Whig cause, and not to make
money for ourselves. We hope. therefore,
that an who have the interest of that cause
at heart will aid us in giving an extended
circulation to our paper. If every set/seri
ber who reads this were to look around
him and secure but one more, our list'
would be doubled. Try it, friends !
Although more than usual attention will
be paid to political matters during the
campaign, the large size of the paper will
enable us to do so without infringing upon
the news and miscellaneous dep'artment,
so that subscribers, besides being rendered
familiar with current political movements,
will receive a weekly digest of the news
of the day, with other useful matter.
113' It is desirable that clubs for the
campaign be forwarded as soon as possi
ble, and our friends are requested to aid in
forming them at an early day.
cr_j^We invite attention to the Card of Nfr. r
tr.as, of the "Western Hotel," Baltimore, Md., in
to-day's paper. The House is an excellent one,
and, (or quiet, comfort, and all necessary conve
niences, worth a half dozen "Barnum's" or ..Eu
taws."

['The Merchants of Petersburg, (Y. S.) have

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONB.—Parents, guar.
diens, and the friends of Educatiocegenerallv, will
bear in mind that the semi•annyal examinations
of the Public ethoola will commence on Monday
next. It is hoped that all whoain possibly attend
will do so. A culpable indifference in this mat
ter pervades the community, who too generally
pay but little or no attention to the schools. The
presence of the parent or guardian on these we-
Wong doer much to sustain and encourage the
teacher in the prosecution of his laborious profes
sion, and incites the pupil to a more . willing and
cheerful attention to the duties of the echool-rooni.

ponent of War, and adverse to all the schemes of
territorial aggrandisement which have so dialing

of which My. Cass was, to all intents and purposes,
the War Minister.
Not only so. Not only did the wif-liiiingino
penalty of the Locoloco candidate for the Plesi
dencydevelope itself in studied efforts to embroil
the country in hostilities with Great Britain and in
the advocacy of a fierce, vindictive prosecution of
' the war with Mexico; but when, after the battle of
Monterey, and in the hour of victory, Gen. Tar- '
Loa, in the exercise of that nobleness of feeling
which always characterises a bravo, generous and
true soldier, determined to spare his prostrate
foe and save the city froth the horrors of • gen
eral assault and an indiscriminate slaughter—Gen.
Cass was one of the first to stand up in his seat es
a Senator, and, by his vote recorded on the jour
nals of the Senate, declare the humanity of Gen.
TA t tort ororthy of at erasure of the Ratios I
These are r•ces—plain, unvarnished facts—
sustained as such by the national reconis, and,
doubtless, by the recollection of all our readers.—
It will be remembered that, immediately after the
battle of Monterey, and before the glories of Bue
na Vista had encircled the brow of the soldier who
-never surrenders," the customary resolution of ;
thanks by Congress, was proposed in the House
of Representatives at Washington. The Loco-
loco majority, justly fearing to vote against the I
Resolution, and yet unwilling to endorse the rep. I
tution of a General whom the Administration
was, at that moment, seeking to supersede in
command of the A ritty,by the Lieutenant General I
project, offered an amendment, and actually carried 1
it through, excepting the terms of capitulation at
Monterey, or, in other words, censuring Gen. T• r-
Loa for his humanity in declining to visit upon
the innocent and defenceless women and children
of the city the terrible cruelties which must neces
sarily have ensued upon carrying the place at the
point of the bayonet. _
The Resolution's° amended, was passed through
the Ronne, and sent to the Senate where a mo
tion was at once made to strike out the obnoxious
amendment. This being resisted by Ge'll. Cass
and his friends, gave ri-c to one of the most inter
esting and eloquent debates that occurred in the
Senate dining the session. In it Mr. Ct.• rros
di"tinguished himself by a noble vindication of
Gen. Tahoe, which, at the time, attracted much
attention. While upon this subject to-day, we
make mom for the following extracts, which mill
undoubtedly be read with interest and pleasure :
"After three days of hard lighting, in
which our gallant regulars and volunteers
crowned themselves with imperishable lion
or,—after more than five hundred of those
brave men lay weltering in their blood, and
our actual fighting force had been reduced
below five thousand men, with only three
days' provision left to them,—while the '
enemy still remained at least ten thousand
strong, covered and protected by stone
walls and the strongest fortifications, with
ample supplies, forty pieces of artillery, i
and abundance of other arms and ammuni-1
tion,—it is still the subject of actual com
plaint with some persons in this chamber,
that our troops did not make prisoners of
the whole Mexican army—but preferred
to accept the surrender of the city, which
was the object of attack, on condition that
the Mexicans should march off, leaving be
hind them the greater part of all their artil
lery, arms and supplies for the defence of
the place. What could the American ar
my have done with 10,000 prisoners !
The correspondence on the subject now
proves that had Gen. Taylor refused to
accept those terms of surrender proposed
by Gen. Ampudia, he would have been
compelled to carry the Main Plaza, forti
fied and garrisoned by the Mexican army
of twice his numbers, by storm ; in which
the citizens of Monterey, with their wives
lend daughters, and infants, would have
been, by the usages of War, the victims
of the horrible assault. Gen. Taylor tells
you, that he sought to spare the helpless.
women and children of his conquered en
emies—that he sought to save the needless
effusion of blood, which had already flow
ed like water in the streets of that unhap
py city—that he sought to save the lives
of hundreds of our own daring soldiers,
and even the lives of his humbled foe, by
accepting terms which prevented the hor
rors of a sack and a 8,0174! Yet the gen
tlemen still are not eatisfied. They insist
upon it, that the horrors of the storm should
have been encountered ; and they will re
fuse to thank General Taylor and his troops
for all their services and their sufferings,
unless these gentleman can, at the same
time, brand him for the exercise of the
greatest of all his many virtues—humani
ty itself ! 'rite complaint against him is,
that ..the gates of mercy were not all shut
up," and that he did ribtlet loose
"The Bashed moldier—rough and hard ofheart—
In liberty of bloody hands, to range
With conscience with, as heti; mowing, like grass,.
Theirfrash-fair *On and their flowering infants,"
Neither General Taylor, nor any other
General that ever lived, could contrail an
enraged and unbridled soldiery in the
storm of a sacked city. All human expe
rience proves, that in such a time of blood,
pillage and conflagration inevitably attend
;he &re . of a city thus taken ; both parties
are alike disgraced by the accumulated
horrors of the scene I ray, therefore,

The annals of War warmly furnish
a parallel lathe victory of Taylor at Mon:
Ivey: And if, after all that was accom
plished by your intrepid warriors in that
flood struggle, you shall choose to ac-
Company your vote of thanks with a pro
viso disapproving of the terms of mercy
extended by your General to the enemy,
your soldiers will in luture understand,
from that declaration, that they areAever
to expect the thaokrt of their country` br
any_am,howerergloriolia in other respects,
unless they can present themselves red
handed and reeking . with carnage, without
suspicion of restraint from any generous
or merciful consideration. The American
soldier will thus be told that he is no lon
ger to have any 'regard for the safety of
woman or child in battle, no sentiment
of humanity of humanity for the vanquish
ed, no regard even for the lives of his val
iant comrades in arms. "I'm rictis," is,
to be inscribed on our banners, and men'
are to start with horror at the re-appear
ance of our bloody stripes fru! stars. Lot
not Congress thus teach our soldiers that
clemency is not by us considered a virtue.
At least, I, for one, will teach them no I
such lesson. I will give them no "bloody
instructions which return to plague the hi
yentor"—aud I again repeat it, that 1 hon- '
or Gen. Taylor, if possible, even more for
for the terms of the capitulation and the hu
manity displayeirby him, than for his dis
tinguished bravery and.generulship, or his
almost unexampled success in battle.
Sir, no side blow like this, from the par
ty in power, can effect the reputation of
Gen. Taylor. Adopt your alines provi
so—withhold the just meed of praise from
the gallant veteran and 'his noble army,

GEN. TA VI,OR ON %VAR.—Although it
has been tiro lot of Gen. 'l't rxna to art out a
conspicuous part in the %lex jean War, forced up
on the country by the ill-advised measure,, of the
Administration of which Gen. Casa was a promi
nent member, how honorably do all his views on
the nrubjcet of 'War and Conquest contrast with
those of the iune,ffneo candidate ! Calmly seated
in his place in the Senate Chamber, or revelling in
tine luxuries of the Mute House, Gen. Casa, WI..
unwed by the scenes of blood sod carnage, the
wails, annul shrieks, and groans, that marked the
progress of our little but brave and victorious ar
my—could coolly and flippantly talk of "carrying
the %Var into the enemy's vitals,' and making
them feel its "bitterest pangs." How different i
from the noble Ts WM. who, instead of loud
mouthed profession,' and noisy declamations of
patriotic devotion to the country, ha+ spent almost
his entire ciiieer amid the smoke of battle and the
cannon's roar; who has the mind properly to esti
mate the evils of War, and the heart to feel for
Ithose who unfortunately become its victims. So
far from desiring to "prepare the hearts of our
people for war," Gen. Tarrson, in the midst of
the festivities which greeted his arrival at Now
Orleans in December last, breathes the language
of the Christian soldier, by declaring "that the joy
and exultation of the greatest victories were al
ways, after the heat and excitement of battle, site.
ceeded by feelings of poignant sorrow and pain;
and that war, after all, was a great calam:ty, and
and his the greatest glory who could terminate it."
And again, at the complimentary dinner given
to him, in January, at Lafayette, 1,a., ho averred
that amid all the progress of his triumphs, ..the
object nearest to his heart had been to bring the
war tea speedy termination—to restore peace and
entity between two neighboring republics, who
had every motive to cultivate mutual good-will,
and whom he would much prefer to see vieing
with each other in arts of tamer, than contending
on the field of battle."
How grandly, remarks the North American,
does all this contrast with the ferocious war-cries,
the slogans of plunder and slaughter, with which
the ban-dog, of universal conquest would urge on
the American people to the subjugation of Mexi
co! Is it not a glory greater even than the glory
of Busna Vitriol Does not all this utterance of
a great, but merciful,—a heroic, yet just, honora
ble, patriotic and Christian spirit, sound like an,
pie music, coming front such • quarter I Not
a whisper is here beard of wrongs ■nd outrages,
of indemnity and security,—not a word of gold•
mines and Indian palaces,—not a word of torrito.
ry,—of annexation,--of civil and religious liSiirty,
—of destiny.' Nothing is heard but peace—pence,
amity, and good-will—they were the words of an
gels once, when they heralded the birth of the
Savior—peace, amity, good-will, forbearance and
magnanimity !
"Honor and fame forever to the brave old Gen
oral who, in these times, thinks and says suet
things to the American people."
THE RESPONSE.—Th e nomination of old
"Rough and Ready" is developing an enthusiasm
throughout the entire length and breadth of the
country, which puts at defiance all attempts to
keep pal with the overwhelming popular demon
itnttioas which it every when" calls forth. From
Maine to Louisiana, from the Atlantic to the Min.
siusippi, the Whig party, with large numbers of
the honest-hearted of the Drocracy, dm 'rallying
to the support of the gallant soldier, veldt en ardor
and an enthusiasm paralleled only by the scenes
of 1840. New England is all tight, The disaf
fection in New York is rapidly subsiding; while
throughout the West and South, the Whig pasty
presents , an unbrolien front.."'Taylor and Fill
more !" is the
,rallying cry at all points.

Whigs of owe are coming up manfully to the
support of the Ticket. Ratification meetings have
been held in various parts of the State, all charac

and bitter invectives, with which the Irocofoco
presses end orators so malignantly and assiduous
ly assailed the character and reputation of Hex
er CLAT, it might seem that these same. editors,
and orators were the only true friends of that illus
trious man—the only persons capable of appro..,
Mating his virtues, or disposed to do him justice.
Nor is this new-born love for Mr. CLAT more re.
markable than the singular regard for the integri
ty and perpetuity of /Whig principles manifested
by these same preseca. "Mr Clay hu been sharer , -
fully beaten," Naps one; "Whig principles have
been basely sacrificed on the altar of availability,"
says another; while all hold up their hands in
holy horror at the idea of running eu.•h a man as

cool, gentlemen the Whig party wilt take care
of themseves, and have made up their mind to

said the better."
CP"The Whig State Central Committee has
I issued a spirited addrosa to the Whigs of Peniattyl

urging a prompt and thorough organization in the

rv-it is amusing to bear / the expressions of
sympathy which the Locofoco papers lavish on
Henry Clay. The Union calls him '.the orator,
the statesman, the brave old civilian !" Yet these
are the very men who have spent their lives iu
slandering and persecuting the object of their pre
sentculogics ! The people will know how to es-
titillate such crocodile tears.
ALLEGHENY HOUSE, PHILA.—The
Card of Mr. Unlinks, of the "Allegheny House,"
280 Market street, Philadelphia, will be found in
today's Star. During the past week, we had an
opportunity of testing the merits of the Roust, and
can freely recommend it to any of our friends who
nifty have occasion to visit the "City of Brotherly
Love." Located near the Baltimore, Lancaster,
and Reading Railroad depots, it furnishes a con
venient resting place for the travelling public, w ho
will find in its accommodating Proprietor and all
connected with the House, every necessary atten
tion and convenience. Try it, frtends;, we will
guaranty satisfaction.
rETThe annexed paragraph from a Phihula
phis paper, will doubtless be read with interest by
the friends of Mr. J. ZIIIIXAN, lately of East Ber
lin, in this county. The fact of 11r. Ws being
placed at the head of one of these schools, in a
district distinguished for the excellence of its edu
cational system, is highly creditable to his capaci
ty as an instructor, and his worth as a man :

OPINING OT A NEW SCHOOL House,—
On Monday afternoon last the new public
school house at Bridesburg, in the 11th
school section, was opened with appro
priate ceremonies. Mr. Oliver Dyer, the
celebrated teacher is Phonography made
a few remarks well calculated to please all
present. He acknowledged that after hay
ing been in all the principal cities in the
United States and Canadair, the public
schools of this county are they ery best he
had ever visited.
Alter which the Rev. Mr. Stead spoke
of the importance of the children attend
ing their studies and being dutiful to their
teachers. The interesting exercises were
closed by singing. Among those present
we noticed Mr. Flitcraft, the Comptroller
from the Eleventh Section, Mr. tlassinger,
of the Directors of the same section, Pro.
lessor Vodges of the Central High Shcoul,
Mr. Hemphill, the Assistant Secretary of
the Board of Comptrollers. and others.—
Great credit is due to the Principal of the
school, Mr. 1. Zerrosi and . Miss P. A.
Borlon, fo r
n the manner in which the pupils
acquitted themselves, and we trust that
this school, opened with such bright pros
pects, will prove that the public schools of
the city and county of Philadelphia are
unsurpassed by any others in the Union.

couple of miles distant from that place, la.
boring under a deep depression of spirits,
first murdered his child, a boy about three
years-of ago, by caning his head almost
entirely off, and afterwards committed sui
cide by cutting his own throat. He took
him to a neighboring thicket fur the com
mission of the deed. 4 neighbor passing
moos alter, he hailed him and informed him
that he had just killed his eon. When
asked his reason for so doing, lie replied
that he feared he might some day have
come to want —that lie had made way with
him, and intended also to make way with
himself. He then went into the house,
deliberately took down the looking glass
and cut his own throat. Redman had for

for a year or two past.

Improved Machinefor Hulling and Clean.;
~ C lover-seed,
which, for thoreughly performing its work,
in a speedy manner, surpasses any thing
that s has ever been presented to the public.
In order to produce a machine that will
meet the wants of the community in every
respect. the Patentee has for several years
applied himself diligently to the task, and
is now enabled to offer a, machine worthy
of their consideration.
This machine has only been in opera
Lion during the last season, in Cumberland,
York and Adams counties, and has given
entire satisfaction. It is a neat, portable
machine, only weighing about 400 lbs.
and of light draught, and can hull and clean
with ease four loads of cloverseed per day,
or,one load in two hours. It can. be con•
verted into a common windmill in a mo
ment's time. Persons desiring :to pur
chase rights can see the machine. by call
ing at my residence in hatimore township,
Adams county. Owners of Clover-mills
would find it to their advantate to give the
a call.
Hundreds of certificates can be given of
its utility, and the satisfactory manner that
it hulls and - cleans cloverseed, anitalso

ry to refer to a few individuals at whose
barns the machine has been ,exhibited and

destroy hint, and when of age he iransinle them
to his children.
Thus we lee that in the same body is the
principle of lite end also of corruptibility. And
it Is only by due attention in some bodies that
health can be secured by artificial modes of assist
ing the functions of life to throw oft the occasion
accurnidatious of corruptibility, which oteerwise
would overpower the principle of iski, belote the
individual had reached to the full period of his
existence,
according to the principle oldie with.
in him. For, in order that men rhould arrive at
that period o f called old age, a perfect balauce
must exist between the principle of life and the
principle of corruptibility. When the balance
is in favor of the principle orb*. weobeentettur
energy ef character with admiration, And. I
have no doubt that just in proportion as the life
principle predominates is the energy both of
body and mind. By the use of proper medicine
this can always be secured until a good old age.
The principle of corruption is subject to the
influenceof many causes of vitiation. It is, there.
fore, necessary that we be provided with ample
means to prevent injury from it; or in constr.
quence of this visitation that putridity would
produced which would destroy the individual ere
he had arrived it that period of life which he
would have done front the principle of life which
was in him. NoW, to accomplish this, we must
prevent an accumulation of thosihrimoni which
bear down the principle'of life. Do not wait for
