::- ortation in choosing a zettrosentative. We tell you, in
ell sincerity, that Victory is within year grasp—you

and the will's nation will ring with your praise.
Van any body tell what was the true cognomen of
'the late coon convention that met at Hasrishurgh? The
Gazette calls it a "Whig and Antimasonic Conven
,tion;" the Harrisburgh Intelligencer calls it a "'Whig
Convention," and the Hartisburgh Telegraph says it
was a "Damson Convention." When doctors diffir
-who shall decide? The coons have always supposed
'that there was much virtue in a name, and for years
past they have been struggling to steal that of Demo
-crag, but they find now that it is a hopeless struggle.
The people can't or won't understand them when they
speak of themselves as the democratic party, and they
-are compelled to connect it with some of their old
disgraced cognomens to maketheir objects intelligible.
We fear they will never be able to get a decent name
for the pasty as long as they hold to their old obnox
ious prinCiples, and they had better sari) themselves
annoyance and trouble, by returning to their old
name of federalists and take • bold stand in fa
vor of their black itockade principles, and not try to
carry them out by the deceitful means they have used
for tome years passed.
In looking over the proceedings of the Convention
- as perched in the Gazette, the public may discover
a little trick that shows the manner in which the whigs '
wish to cheat the antimasons. They give a part of
the official proceedings and then omit a portion, end
fill the vacuum with the remark, " here some nnim-
Jtormnt business was transacted." or words to that
effect. Now, by referring to the proceedings as they
appear in the Harrisburgh papers, it will be found'hat
the part omitted and considered unicnrortant by the
Gazette, was the appointment of a very important
committee, the Chairman of which ass JOSEPH' R.
CHANDLZR, the Grand Master of the Philadelphia
Lodges, and among his colleagues will be found
Corezt.itut DARRAGH, Esq. the present federal can
didate for Congress in thiscounty. The Gazette may
consider the appointment of that Committee unim-
portant, but we 1081 convinced that the honest anti
masons of the distriet will view it differently, and be
lieve that there must be something very important on
foot when a person who presents himself as an anti
masonic candidate will hold secret conclaves with a
Grand Master Mason. The• attempt made to -con
ceal the close association of the Grand Master and
Mr. Darrugh, shows that the Gazette thinks it was a
Yew- sespiciors circumstance, and tLat it would
be better I. keep it from the knowledge of the oppo
nents of the Lodge in the county.
The attempt to palm off CORNELIUS DARR off as a
Protective Tariff man, 'is an act of arrant hypocoicy"
inasmuch as Mr. D. supports Henry Clay, who is
only in firtror'of " iswideatal protection ;" and whose
efforts since 1832, "have been directed to a reduc
lion of the Tariff ;" who "abandoned the principle of
Protection (as - our own "distinguished townsman,"
Harmer Denny, tells us,) and united with the Nulli
fiers of South - Carolina:" who distinctly stated that if
, the patient Tariff was defective. it should be modified;
and who is paraded in the South as " more of a free
trade man than Mr. Van Baran." "We distrust any
yak'► Tariff principles who is in favor" of the Coro
promise, and who is only in favor of "inside/au/
74.1/rotunda' n." Mr. Clay has avowed himself in favor
of bads, and 'Cornelius Darragh has avowed himself in
farrow If Clay. "Tell me with whom you lire, and
I gill tell you with whom you are."
Mr The American saycithinat the Lawrenceville
meeting, on Monday evening. Mr Din:unit "give a
masterly and triumphant aciawer to a question put to
him on the subject of the U. S. Bank." Why was not
this "triumphant answec" published that it might call
forth the "loudest plaudits"-from the public generally.
-and' not confine its tremenduous effects to the little
borough of Lawrenceville? Nearly u week has ex
pired since Mr Datterou's connection with the U. S.
Bank was first referred to. It has been published in
concy' form. and if Mr. D.'s friends could make any
apology for the part be took in fastening that monster
Oftreud on the people they had opportunities to do so
every day. But they shrunk from stitch an undertaking,
Unfortunately tot them, the records of the Senate are
extant, and Mr. Darragh's vote there stands :worded
in favor of the Bank. No answer can explain away
this fact. and Mr. D. and kis friends show their canning
by act attemptingto answer any questions on the sub
ject tlect . they can possibly avoid.
Timiiisra not deny that Mr Darragh voted for the
llankoikur he had ascertained that a majority of his
ware opposed, to it, writhe ruin and dis
the chartering of this Bank is too
trellirstiiii to the 'Odic to require say comment.

Cr The American thinks it strange that. the Gas

1 - IARRISBUff . ;H CORRESPONDENCE
HATtRISBURGH, 11th March, 1844
MR. "Pl
Fur some time past, we have had delightful weather ,
here; balmy atmosphere and sunny days; and the open
ing blossoms ofthe soft maple, give early notice that
spring will soon be here with her goy flowers and green
carpets. Nor has this unclouded face of nature been
sensibly disturbed by the elements of political strife.
Our two great conventions have gone by, with no great
er darkening of the welkin, than u few transient clouds
passing ever the calm face of t h e moon. Oa the first
day the friends of both the prominent candidates,
Shuck and Mublenberg, were somewhat excited with
those hopes and feats, and irritations which necessari
ly attend a doubtful contest. But from the first test
vote, it was apparent that the Muhienbergers were a
teeth the strongest; but that little was equal to a
muckle, beetpse it was unyielding. The Shunk men
fought. their around inch by inch. and died "like demi
god■," ina the Middies—all rash :assertions to the
contrary netwithstanding—nobly and konorabiy;ecirier
ed their victory. This is acknowledged by all who
are not too excited to be just; and fortunate is it for the
party that it :s so. After no honorable contest, such
us thii was, all can eheerfully unite upon the Berks
county statesman. I have not, since the convention,
heard a whispering of rebellion. The whole demoera-
cy will go forth to the election in their old fashioned
solid columns, and the victory of 1844 will ho like that
ofCrecy and Agincourt. The democracy of the east,
and I doubt not of the west, will re enact the days of
Simon Snyder. It cannot be possible that Markle can
bo elected. His incompetency is notorious, sad the
people am not again to he poisoned with pipsiseewa
tea or any thing better than hard cider. In these days
of state embarrassment and heavy taxes we want a
statesman at tha helm, not a mere dragoon captain.—
What in tho:narna of common ,case could have induced
the whigs to nominate Nlarkle T I sometimes think it
was a piece of their old ialatuation for jingling street
songs. Do they intend to enact that farce again; and
are we to have your dandy whigs and sweet ladies too
flaunting in patriotic serenades, and singing
Go it strong for Henry Clay, •
Deeply drink Pipsisiw ay;
Go it strong for Markle too,
Chorus: Yankee doodle doo.
During the sitting of the conventions, it was difficult
to retain a quorum in the Legislature. Your repre
sentatives, I was pleased to see, kept their seats in the
Ilouse, and took a strong stand against adjournments,
voting steadily with the noes, upon the calls of the yeas
and nays, which I think must have taken place more
than a dozen times in the two days. You, of course,
have noticed the vote of the House for the sale of the
State improvements, by a majority of two. Be not
discouraged at this. The House was not full. Neith
er is it a fair vote. It was nut upon the passage of
any law: there is not even a bill yet reported for the
purpose. Ido not think the Legislature will pass any
such rash act. What will the people of your district
think of it ? I heard Mr Brackenridge say that his
constituents were generally opp sod to the sale, and he
thought they would not be willing to pay taxes after
the loss of the works. This was the day fixed fat the big
tax bill. It did not coma up, however, but a discus
shin arose upon a resolution having a bearing upon it,
offered by Mr. Whitman, favoring a suspension of the
school fund. It was violently supported by Mr Bra
dy, and opposed by Mr McFadden and Mr Nicholson.
The subject was postponed for the present. Mr.
Brackenridge and his colleagues, it is understood, are
opposed to suspending t'ie school fund, and if the sale
of the public works be persisted in. I am informed that
Mr Brackenridge will hold the whigs to their estimate
of 25 - millions, and vote for taxation only to pay the in
terest on the balance, being only about 750,000 per an
num. This will save the people from humbug, and
throw back the responsibility on the whigs. I also
noticed in this day's proceedings many bills reported.
Among others, Mr Brackenridge, from the judiciary
committee, reported a bill to increase the pay of the
associate judges of Allegheny county. He also read
hi his place, an act to give before justices of the peace
and aldermen the right of trial by jury in civil cases
under 100 dollars, and in certain criminal cases. It is
understood that the lawyers here are opposed to this
salutary improvement in our laws; perhaps because no
ono yet has been found who would or'could frame an
act upon the subject to work well. It undoubtedly is
difficult to do so; but I am told by those who have
seen Mr B.'s bill that it is by far the most perfect one
that has yet appeared. Should it pass, it would save
the people of your cities and county thousands and
thousands of dollars every year. You, as the organ
of public sentiment ought to stir up the people to back
your representatives, who certainly are industrious and
efficient. A remonstrance was presented to day against
an increase to the pay of your county commissioners.
Is it posOble that your commissiners have asked for
an increase of pay in times like these 1 I hope not.
I am'also informed that some of your folks have ap
plied to take away from your Sheriff his right to keep
the jail' and its lawful emoluments. if so, I have never
heard of any thing having been done .jn the matter.—
Whether it be killed or not I cannot Say, but I guess it
sleepeth. Yours, LOBBY.

" The tow boat Pilot, Capt. Crow. arrived yesterday
morning from the Belize, and went up to Gretna to
tnko in woud. At about 5 o'clock lest evening, after
sbe had taken her wood on boanl, and was on the
point of dropping down to the city, her hoilers burst,
killing and scalding several persons. Full patticulars
could not ho obtained but we learn that the steamboat
Helen, Capt.. Ure, being iti sight at the time. went to
the rescue, and succeeded in picking up ten of the per
sons who had been on board, and brought them to town.
Among those brought down were Mr. William Guw,
son of the captain, who is not expected to survive his
injuries; Mr. Nicholson, lst engineer, and Mr. Fox.
2d do., both badly scalded. Thomas Kenrney was
blown overboard and lost. Capt. Gow himself was
badly scalded, and was left at Gretna Mirk of those
brought down by the Helen, were injured, and have
been sent to the hospital."

by the mate of the Superior.
COTTON SPECULATIONS
- - _
The editor of the Charleston Patriot, when ha ad
dresses himself to the task of instructing or giving
caution to his mercantile friends, displays greet pru
dence and sagacity. In a late paper he speculates at
some length upon the two great crisis in cutfon opera
tions—that of 1825 and the other of 1844, which hat
not yet reached its acme, perhaps. The writer looks
upon the first ono as hiving been brought on and stim
ulated by the excestive paper issue, of the Bank of En
gland. The speculation 1,61.11 controlled in effect by
the bank, and the prices of cotton were maintained at
a high point, like the pcice4.4 other commodities, ut
lung as the currency continued redundoot. when th it
wet contracted, pi ices fell, and the cotton speculator
fell with them.
The excitement :his year he attributes, and jn:th•,
to the short crop. hut it is ithnUinte:i by rite plethora
of money no both sides—aot a redundant paper cur
rency but an ncrumulation of hard money seeking em
ployment; so there is no danger from this source.—
The writer looks upon it as struggle between capitaii-ts,
and avows his belief that, could we hold ai-r on
this side, an onto keep the spinners mod irately sup
plied for a couple months. wo should surely triumph.
But ho doubts our ability to do so, and argues I last the
advance which has already taken place in our gre.tt
staple should satisfy "any rational desire for profit."
The Patriot concludes its speculations by wet ning op
erators againats holding on too long•—\". 0. Pie.
"WAR! \\'AA! WAR!"—Under this startling cap
tion, the N. 0. Tropic of the 241 inst., "does np" a
most ludicrous account of some petty difficulties be
tween Capt. Taylor, of an A merican Revenue Cutter,
and the Texan Custom House officers at Sabine Lake,
regarding the collecting of one dollar tonnage claimed
by Texas. Capt. Taylor, whose force consists of
"two four-pounders, six muskets, three men, a black
cook, and a huge dog," states that he has taken Tea
sures to capture the Texan shore-battery, mounted with
two iron (not wooden!) guns—"nine pounders"—and
to blow the Texan Revenue Cutter, Santa Anna out of
water, if they don't behave timuselves. Tho Tropic
hopes that nobody will behort in case this dire calami
ty should renlly happen. We hope so too.

this medicine in our family, and in our opinion it is
one of the best preparations for coughs, colds, &c.,
which has ever been offered to the public. At this
season of the year we would recommend to every fam

as occasion may require. We give this as a matter of
advice from ouractual experience of the good qualities
of the medicine. and do not wish our readers to consid
