Merin of the Whig Oath Osr
•llt.
Thilu Whip of Penosylvalia. profound
ly tamelble of the importance of the great
iodides' struggle they are about to enter,
beg Nave respectfully to subunit, through
their State Central Committee, to their
fellow Whip of the Union, a statement of
their position, and their reasons for main
taining it :
As Pennsylvania has never Yet cest her
electives' :one in vain, and na she is likely
to become, as heretofore, the at bi ter of the
rainiest; and, of consequence, the battle
round, it is proper for those who have the
beet means to know the ground and its
oireutastances, to impart their knowledge
ormtlidly and honestly to their brethren of
the same faith and party.
The history of the past fully establishes
(he falsity of the proposition that Repub
lica are ungrateful. The memories of
Washington, Jackson, Harrison and Tay
lot. teach us that the American Republic
has never yet been ungrateful to those who
have led her armies, defended her rights,
and adorned her name with an imperisha
ble renown. This is in accordance with ,
the nature of man—in accordance with al
noble and generous impulse. And as long
as human hearts are constituted as now,
the man who has denied himself the com
forts of home—foregone the pleasures of
wealth—invested the strength of his body
and the powers of his inind—risked life'
and health in defence of his country*will
always receive at the hands of his fellow
Citizens the highest earthly honors and re
wards when the opportunity offers to con
fer them.
In fidelity to the Constitution, and in
seminude to its defenders, Pennsylvania
acknowledges no superior. %%hitt the
broad limits of . this great Democratic Em
pins there is to be found no COMMIIII.
wealth more loyal and patriotic. • And
while iris very certain that no man who is
not true to the _conetlitition in all its parts
anti the Union in its integrity, can stand
even the shadow of a chance to obtain her
electoral vole—it is equally certain that
no man, Whig or Democrat, has to much
the confidence and affection of her .peopl.
as Winfield Scott. Our adversaries know
this, and most earnestly and bitterly de
precate his nomination. But we are aware
that if they had the good fortune to possess
such a candidate, there would be no di
vided counsels among them in regard to
his nomination. If General Scott belong
eil to the ranks of the enemy, instead of
being an honest. brave, and reliable Whig,
MOW Baltimore Convention would nom
inate him by aerlansation.
Shall we be less wise than our adversa
ries? Shall we sacrifice the victory that
stretches out before us? Shall we suffer .
the Whig banner to trail again .in defeat,
and the Capitol of the Nation to, be once
more entirely given up to those Whose
principles are, in our opinion, opposed to
to prosperity and its greatness? The de
cision rests with the Whig National Con
confirm.
And while we_ pledge ourselves to in
honest, zealous. ar.d enthusiastic support
of the nominee of that Convention, who
ever he may be; for we are accustomed to
look above the standard bearer to the stand
ard; we most kindly and earnestly entreat
our fellow Whigs that in Pennsylvania,
the battle-ground, the name of Scott is as
inviolable as on the battle-fields of Mexico.
But though he is the choice of 4000,006
Whigs and of thousands oilier Democrats,
we will leave unmade no effort, however
fruitless, and unexerted ho influence, how
ever barreof, victory, in behalf of either
of his gre it competitors. Our only in
quiries shall be: Is he a Whig? Is he
true to the Constitution ?
Of Millard Fillmore, the patriotic and
distinguished gentleman who flows() cred
itably occupies the loftiest official position
on the earth, as Whigs we are proud.
Of Daniel Webster, whose fame is not
even limited by the b ounds ' of civilization
—who, as orator and statesman. stands
almost without a rival in the world--.peer
less and unapproachable in the might and
splendor of his genius—es Americans we
are proud. Ilia name shall be handed
down as a boast ands heritage to our chil
dren.
But even for these great and glorious
Whigs we are unwilling to hazard the
ttiumph of our great and more glorious
principles; for that,we conceive to be of
infinately more consequence than the po
litical fortunes of any man, however good,
able, or distinguished he may be. Small,
indeed, becomes the destiny of the individ
ual in comparison with the welfare of the
Republic.
With Winfield Scott, the Whigs of the
United States can achieve a certain and
easy victory. With any other candidate
it might be considered doubtful, Wile( des
perate. Not because the Whig party, as
a . National party, is the weaker, but be
cause, in the present nicely balanced con
dition of the parties, it is difficult for either
to be victorious in two successive coutesu.
We repeat, certain and easy victory. For
the people believe, with an unanimity un
precedented, that be cannot be beaten.—
And this state of the public mind insures
the suit, as any one knows who is at all
skilled in political events.
And who shall say that Winfield Scott
is nut fit for the high station to which we
would elevate him Has any single im
portant art of his life evinced a want of a
bility! Who shall say that the command
ing genius. who has raised his name to
the loftiest rank among the immortal names
of earth, will not prove eqnal to any posi•
lion or any crisis that may arise in the
civil affairs of men? Do the humbled bat
tlements of Vera Cruz, the stormed heights
of the Mexican mountains, or the Amen
can flag waving in triumph over- a con.
quered empire, attest this want of ability ?
We leave history and fame to answer.
In view of the important contest we are
about teenier. and for the sake of cherish
ed principles for which we have so long
°untended, side by side, under one banner.
and with one battle cry, the Whigs of
Pennsylvania call upon the Whigs of the
United Staler, (for they know neither
North nor South) to Unite with them in
another mighty and successful ellort to
Overthrow agate and forever the pernicious
principles of their common adversary.

SLEEPING IN CHURCH; OK THE All•
VANTAOE oy A LARGE WIG.
The Rev: Mr. NOW kept a goat,
which followed him everywhere, even to
church; and when he preached, it was ac
customed to lie- under the pulpit. It may
*well to remark here, that in France the
interior of -the churches is not supplied
with pews, as in this country ; that if ihere
are any-in some of the churches, they are
few in number, and occupied dilly by pri.
vileged persons, such as the mayor and- u
sistant, or some other municipal officers,
and that to supply the place of pews, the
French employ chairs, for which each one
chooses displace which he prefers, if not
previously , oeimpied.
One sultry Sabbath, air individual who
had a stronger desire than the rest of the
audienoe to hear the preacher, placed his
chair in the front row, opposite the pulpit
and quite near to it. Soon the heat, per
haps-aleo the sermon, produced upon his
senses such an effect that his eves, which
at first were brilliant, began to grow dim,
and to clout front time to time, and finally
only opeitbd at long intervals. At last
they remained closed for good and all.
The expo having played their part, the
head began to follow suit. It swung from
shoulder to shoulder, and sometimes fell
upon the breast ; but it had no sooner fall
en than it rose again, as if by a spring.—
These movements attracted no one's at
tention—they were too common for that.
It was only when they lessened in their
direction up and down that They attracted
the attention, not of man or woman, for no
human being had taken notice of them, but
the goat of the preacher, which at that mo
ment robe upon its feet, and following with
its head the movements of the sleeper,
seemed to be making preparation to repel
an attack or make an onset.
This stratagem continued until the' per
son, not raising his head quick enough, the
goit held his own down. recoiled . few
steps, and leaped upon him with such vio
lence es to knock him" from his chair. and
Would doubtless have broken his skull,
had it not been protected by an enormous
wig.
It is not to be presumed that the goat
had any thought of waking the sleeper,
but it is probable that, having taken the
movements of his head for a provocation
to fight, he had accepted the challenge like
a goat of courage and honor.
Tux OLD Tai►r.—Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, who bids fair to become as famous
for his wit , as for his eloquence, makes the
following shrewd reply to those disinter
ested people who ask temperance men why
they don't enforce the old laws against
ruinselling, instead of framing new ones,
like that of Maine. The reader can
judge whether be drives the nail home and
clinches it :
It is said, why don't you execute the
present laws !flue puts me in mind ol an
old rat, who, sleek and fat, coming out of
his hole, sees a new Itlip. Ile walks a
round it, peeps into it, nibbles at it, and
finds it is not like the old one—it is all
wire, and there is .no getting out of it. So
he goes to the keeper of the house and
says "Why aro you not satisfied with
the old trap with the wooden bottom,
through which I have crawled forty times?"
8o with these old liquor rats ; they know
how to evade them ; they can crawl through
almost anything. but they don't like the
Maine Law. These men can tell what
the law means. The outcry that they
now make, leads me to think that they
smell fire. I never was so much in favor
of the law as when I found out how the
rumseller opposed it.
FATAL OCCURRRNCE.—We learn that
on Friday last.as Mr. Henry Fry, of Man
ehestet township, was driving a team of
mules owned by Mr. William Neiman,
in the neighborhood of Hough's Saw Mill
in said township, the mules became fright
ened at the approach of the oars on the
York and Cumberland Railroad. In his
efforts to manige them, Mr. Fry was so
severely injured by being caught by some
part of the wagon in the back as to cause
his death in a few hours. He was about
23 years of sp. we uaderetand..—York
lifulacan.
Further Parliculaiii.
ay The following particulars of the eteltuw
choly event in Oxford township, mention
ed in our last, we copy from the Hanover
Spectator:—
Tt seems that about 11 o'clock, one or
Mr. linkes sons, a youth of about seven•
teen, who slept up stairs with four other
children, was wakened by a sense of hest
and suffocation, and on looking around end
observing an unusual light, ran to a door
communicating with the head of the stain
to ascertain the pause, when, to his horor,
he discovered the house on fire. The
fire had prOgressen so far. and the whole of
the stairway Wee so completely enveloped
in flames, thst it was impossible for the
children to escape hi any other manner than
by jumping out of one of the wintlowa.-
1 hose who were asleep were immediately
aroused. and the situation of things explain
ed. The eldest boy then jumped out, and
was followed by the two next in size, who
were caught by him, as they fell to the
ground, hut unfortunately, in the hurry
and excitement of the moment. the precau
tion of placing a support under the window
was not thought of, so that when the two
youngest children (a little girl of about
seven and a boyoof four yews of age) at
tempted to escape, they were unable to get
the window up. It hail fallen as the third
child leaped front the room. In the mean
time, Mr. and Mrs. Hoke and others who
slept below, were aroused to
.witness ;scene
the most agonizing of which the mind can
conceive. A ladder was immediately pro
cured and placed against the wall to assist
the children in their frantic efforts to escape,
but it broke to pieces as Mr. Hoke attempt
ed to mount it, and before another could
be found, the whole room was thoroughly
on fire, and it was evident that the little
sufferers had already perished. The little
girl was the last seen at the window implo
ring assistauce while her hair and clothes
were actually on tire. Truly this was a
sight of horror never to be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. The remains of the chit
then were almost utterly consumed.
The pecuniary toss would not be regard
ed by Mr. Hoke—but the. loss of his chil
dren, and Under anti' terribly afflicting cit..:
cumstances, is one of those events to make
its mark upon the heart.
We nittlerstand that the barn was several
times on lire, hut the dames were prompt•
ly extinguished by the neighbor.. who had
by this time come to Mr. ILke's assist
ance.
The fire is supposed to have originated in
the kitchen. •
ANOTHER ARRIVAL FROM EUROPE
The American mail steamer lin antic
arrived at New York oat Sunday night
with Liverpool dates of the 54h instant.
There is no noise horn England. The
militia bill had been taken up in the House
of Commons, and was opposed by Mr.
Cobden, who moved that a proposition
fora more affective navy be laid before the
House before going into committee on the
bill. He said that no man of common
sense believed that. England was likely to
be invaded, but, if the country was really
afraid, let five hundred ships of the line be
placed on the coast rather than. convert
citizens into soldiers. Mr. Right billow
ed in the same strain. A Bill had been
introduced which proposed to give a Rep
rerientative and Constitution to the colony
of New Zealand.
The Paris Journal des Debate is 6 von
ly in favor of the American Expedition to
Japan, and says it is the realization of the
dream of Christopher Columbus.
The Paris papers state that refusals to
take the oath of allegiance to the Consti
tution and the President are more nuttier
ous than were expected. Several mem
bers of the Council General had refused,
and some members of the 'fribunal of Com
merce had been suspended in consequence
of their refusal to take the oath.
Dcweerulle Cliques.
The New York Herald sums up the
Democratic cliques Ether this wise:
THE BALTIMORE DEMOCRATIC CONVIN-
Tios.—The S'iragglefor the !made Track.
—There are four prominent cliques in the
Democratic party, contending, and con
triving, and intriguing, for the mastery of
the Baltimore Convention, and they may
be classified as follows :
1. Polk's old cabinet—Buchanan, Mar.
ey, Mason. Bancroft, and company .
Sometimes Buchanan is put forward, some•
times Marcy ; but the real object of all of
them. including, probably, Marcy himself,
is Buchanan.
2. Case and other outside old fogies.—
They have not had much of the spoils
for the last eight years, and are very ac
tive, very busy, and . very hungry--all for
Cass and the spoils.
3. Young America, young Douglas,—
Mike Walsh, Captain Rynders, George
Saunders, and the Democratic Review—
Young America is for everything, for
everybody, liquor and all and plenty of it.
Good liquor is the polar star of their po
litical creed, and Douglas is always ready
to stand a treat. Douglas is their man.
4. The Barnburners, headed by the Van
Burette, Benton, Blair. and company.—
This is a mighty stubborn, hard-headed
faction. They could not control the Con
vention of 1848, so they broke up the par
ty in New York, and defeated Cass.—
They are therefore to be dreaded. They
are the old Bourbons.
Between these four contending North
em cliques, and two or three from the
South,There will probably 'be some hot
work at Baltimore. Nor should we won.
der if it was to result in a considerable
smashing up of old crockery. It will be
rare sport.
UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR BETWEEN TWO
RELATIVEL—Hun Edward A. Hannegan,
late U. S. Senator for Indiana, and Capt,
Duncan. his brother-in-law, living in the
same house-at Covington, Indiana. On the
most friendly terms, had a personal misun
derstanding on the 7th inst. It appears
that on the day and evening previous, they
bad both been drinking, and that on the
morning of the sad occurrence, Capt. Dun.
can went up stairs to Mr. Hannegan's
room, and an altercation ensued between
the parties, when Capt. Duncan gave Mr.
Hannegan a slap in the face. Mr. Han
negan, upon the indignity he felt, and the
impulue of the moment, struck Capt Dun
eau with a knife in the lower part of the
stomach, inflicting a severe, and what is
thought a dangerous wound.

DEATH OF MRS. JOHN QUINCY
APAMS.—The venerable lady of the late

was over 77 years of age. Mrs. Adams
was a grand-daughter of the late Govemor

both Houses o f Congress o u n day adjourn

an opportunity to attend her funeral on

OCPThe Democracy of this Congression
al district seem to have rather despondent
hopes of carrying the district for the nest
ten years. The Chambereburg Sentinel,
the - organ of the Democracy in Franklin
county, in along leader upon the subject,
deals out the annexed consolation for its
political friends :
"It is enough to know that_ the obliga
tions of the Democracy of thc_Distriet are
now those of comparative insignificance or
"masterly inactivity," at best.. The pros
pect of ever carrying the District, with its
present overwhelming majority against us,
is so remote, as to baffle even - the proba
bility of a breach in the ranks of the op
position sufficiently wide to furnish the
faintest ray of hope."
OcrThe following appears among the
local items in tho Chambersburg Sentinel:

KrThe terms of the following Pennsyl

Whim—William Heiden, Bn'ler, B and
Lawrence; Benjamin Malone, Bucks; John H.
Walker, Erie and Craikord.
Of these, the Whigs are certain of car
rying the Butler and Erie districts. The
Democracy must carry the Bucks district,
with the eight that they have now, in or
der to get the control of the Senate. The
Whigs have now a majority of one in that
body, and should we succeed in electing a
Bonator either in Bucks or Philadelphia
county, or Schuylkill, (which is not impos
sible,) the Senate will remain Whig.—
With the advantage of a warm canvass and
a full vote this fall we hope to carry both
Bucks and Philadelphil counties.
Locofoco Preferences for Whig

has the following, which, though "calcu

the plundered sides stuck together again,

The Columbia Homicide.
Icrit seems that the Legislature of Ma
ryland have taken up the matter of the
killing of the colored man Smith at Colum
bia by the &To-catcher, Bidgely, and passed
the following joint rem:lngot) :
"Whereas, it is represented that ArddhskT
Ridgely, of the city of Baltinseee, sometime a
bout the Ant day of the present month, killed a
fugitive slat in Lancaster county, in Pennsylva
nia ; and whereas, it iir believed that the circum
stances under which the said deed was done do
not constitute the killing, murder, or any other
homicide punishable by law, and that the case
presents a fair opportunity for the friendly inter
position of the State orMaryland with the author
hies of Pennsylvania—therefore, resolved, by the
General Assembly of Maryland, that the Gover
nor be and he is hereby directed to appoint a com
missioner, in hiediscretion, to collect all the foots
and circumstances connected with the killing of
the fugitive slave in said county by Archibald G.
Ridgely. of Baltimore cit y, and to confer with the
Governor of Pennsylvania relating to the same."
Accordingly Gov. Lowe has appointed
the lion. Otho Scott, of Queen Anne's,
and the ,lion. James M. Buchanan, of Bel
timoro county, grand high commissioners
to come up hero into Pennsylvania, and
convince Gov. Bigler as a good Locofoco
brother, that the killing of Smith was no
"murder, or any other homicide punishable
by law," but in fact an altogether justifia
ble and even praise-worthy act, and that
therefore Gov. Bigler ought not to ask the
surrender of Ridgely for trial, which would
greatly embarrass Gov. Lowe to refuse in
the face of the peremptory provisions of
the Constitution of the United States, and
which, nevertheless, he would be very apt
to do if the demand were formerly made
upon him. The fact is, knowing the dough
faced character of Pennsylvania 'Locofoco
ism, and its superserviceable promptness, to
render obedience to the exactions of the
South, the Maryland Legislature, Geyer
! nor and Commissioners think that a little
"soft sootier" about "friendly iuterposi
j tion," a few party pass-words, and a wisely
interjected menace or two of Southern de
feetion front the Baltimore Nomination,
will be all sufficient to convince Gov. Big
ler that there has been no harm dono, and
that ho ought to let Ridgely run "unwhipp
ed of justice." Hall this should fail, how
over, these commissioners will no doubt
render some sort of a report to Gov. Lowe,
based upon their one-aided inquiries into
the facts and circumstances of the case,
completely exhonorating Ridgely from
blame, and his Hotspur Excellency will
therefore refuse to give him up for trial,
as he did in a former case when a requisi
tion was made upon him by Gov. Johnston
for the surrender of a kidnapper. The
Pennsylvania Locofocos will of course sub
mit and consider it all sight,, for the most
of their leaders regard the killing of a
"nigger," espenially if charged with being
a fugitive slave, a very venial offence, if it
be any offence at all, and not a few of them
arc quite ready to express their conviction
that Ridgely could not wit a fair trial in
Lancaster county. Their papers, which
bellowed so loudly when the Gorsuch affair
happened, are now as mute as mice when
the saddle is on the other horse, and take
the killing of a "nigger" on Pennsylvania
ground by a Maryland slave-catcher "as
calmly as a sampler's morning," while they
fairly raved when "the niggers" killed a
Maryland lave-owner, and from Governor
down, the Whig Party had to stand all
sorts of villifieation by them on account of
it.—Fork Rep.
LAMENTABLE DELUSION.--A
melancholy evidence of hallucination, caus
ed by the E.Viritual rapping absurdities, is
exhibited by a long statement prepared
for the press by Judge Edmonds, of New
York, who has long occupied a prominent
position in the political' affairs of that
State, having been State Senator, Judge
of nearly or quite all the Courts of the
State, from the lowest to the highest, and
who is now Judge of the Court of Appeals,
the highest court of judicature in the State.
The Philadelphia Ledger says :
..It seems that the Judge's mind has
been exercised of late upon sriritualism,
and by dwelling upon the subject he found
himself become impressible as a medium.
In this condition he has had interviews

Sir Isaac Newton, and Swedenborg. What
is very curious, Sir Isaac was Still engaged
in considering the laws of gravitation, and
Dr. Franklin was explaining spiritual
manifestations by the 'Odic Force.' fhey
were all 'bright and shining spirits.' Af
ter all this the medium had a glance among
the wicked spirits, where he saw them un

swayed by on earth. We can imagine no
more melancholy spectacle than a once
powerful mind driven to the verge of in
sanity by such a miserable impostors.—

The Democratic Legitholm which
has jest adjourned, has changed our *adobe in
this Congressional District and generously allow
ed osa better district. As now arriinged we need
Wet 611 to be represented by a sound and reliable
.
Whig, adtp with four sister Counties. ther e
wilt doubtlesit I
&blue difference of opinion as to
which shall' nt the first candidate. Why
should not kerns County, if she hasa man of the
right stamp I Allow me to 111141111 i, that there can
be no reason assigned why she should not, and
perhaps a number why she should. Certainly her
Whig strength is grrater than that of any other
County in the District. But it is not the object
of this article to boast of oursel ees.
No man should be presented to the people who
is known only in his own immediate County, who
has not secured for himself a political reputation
in the other Counties, by which the simple an
nouncement of his name will commend him to the
favorable notice of our Whig friends p,enerally.
Übe can be persuaded to permit his name to be
used in the Congressional nomination, Col. J•s.
D. PAXTON, Or this county, IS Till Iflll.
Although repeatedly solicited to allow himself
to be nominated for honorable posts at Harrisburg,
he has uniformly declined all nominations. Ws
popular standing in Franklin and Adams Cam-
tics, in one or the other of which twa Counties be
has passed all his life, and his upright bearing
have won for him a fair and unblemished reputa-
tion in each of them, which few men enjoy. Add
to thh his general acquaintance in the other court
ties in the district (acquired in part while Canal
Coram'r) and his being one of tl.e most active and
efficient Whigs in the orate, whose influence has
been felt in every political canvass for many years
past. Let the majorities in certain townships
of Franklin County, sine. the establishment of the
Caledonia Iron Works, and the increased vote of
Franklin County from Mat time forward, give can
did evidence now.
Ca. P. is the right kind of a Tariff-man, and
has et perishes on that question, which few possess
in the District.
lie is not an office seeker, hut if his friends now
claim him as their candidata it is hoped he wdl
3 ield to their wish.
Franklin County is already In the field and hue
several aspirants, who perhaps are anxiously
,okica for s nomination. Do either of them e
ail the man we name
Maass. Enuroas:—
Since our all-wise Legislators• have
succeeded in apportioning the State I have been
looking fur the name of some one to be brought
forward as a suitable person to represent this dia.
trice in Congress. But as yet I believe no name
has been brought before the people.
Now I tor one am satiefied that this county is
entitled to the first nominee, and amongst our
numerous leading Politicians can think of no one
more worthy or better entitled to that nomination
and the support of the Whip of this the 16th
district then Dr. H. C. MLTC•Lii• of the York
Springs District. He has for eighteen or twenty
years been fighting in the Whig ranks. and has at
no time had his name befirmthe people as a can.

1r .In the U. States Senate on Friday,
Mr. Pratt adverted to a rumor that Mr. Fill
more, while pesiding officer of that body,
aware of the possibility that the casting
vote on the Compromise measures might
be thrown upon him, had determined to
vote against them ; and that he had,.more
over, prepared a paper in advance, giving
his reasons for the vote which he might be
called upon to give. Mr. Pratt, on the
authority of the President, contradicted
this rumor as totally unfounded', and said
that the president was, during the whole
period in which the measures were discus
sed, in favor of them, and would have vot
ed fur them to assure their passage.

Col. Fitz Henry Warren, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, and Chief of the Con
