The ihmrecteatic County Ticket The Dcmocraile Cowley Convention assembled in the Court House yesterday, at 11 o'clock, A M, and pieced itt nomination the following ticket: Asarembly.—SexuaL W BLACK, THOMAS DONNEL LY, Jimittß Cr/OrER, W L MILLER. Clerk of the Court.--RonsnT H K ERR. Recorder.—Roserre M'Conxte. Regiaer.—DrJ C M'CULLY. COMMilliOarr. JOSICriI E M'CAtis Altditor.—J H M'lLinveny We have only room now to say that the ticket is en excellent one,and we have no doubt will be acceptable to the Dernocrary of the county. Now for unity of action, and vigilence in the ranks of the parry. Let every democrat buckle on his armor and stand pre pared Or the contest. The Gazette of Tuesday contains a long article on the Oregon question, in which be proves that there is a diversity of opinion on the subject in Great Britain— that the views of the "London News" and "Edinburg Quarterly Review" aro not identical. We do not regard the fact that they differ in opinion as a matter of consequence, and in reference to it have only this remark to make. The "Times" is the reputed organ of the present ministry, and its views may be tegard- -.10 as identical with the English Premier. Among b oalibv.... • ' ' Zither extracts from the "Times," given in the Gazette, v►s find the following: '41144‘ 04 ~. _ it require any extraordinary discernment to ' - i tat no distant period a strong position • on *Aimee ' the Pacific Ocean will be indispensa ble irktheprot . • of commerce and the ssaintenastre qiinitt ma aseawirscy. Whenever the bar. bbra of Coll mare in the hands of an enterprising people,, we she I learn the true value of Oregon and Vancouver's island." The above extract explains the object of England in desiring to retain a foothold in Oregon; it is to . maintain in that quarter. Btitish "Maratiese ascen dency." We Row ask our neighbor of the Gazette, whether it is not 'equally important for the United states to maintain "maratime ascendency" in that region of country? and if so, why should we yield that which of right belongs to us? We leave the Gazette to answer. The British claim mainly on the ground of priority of settlement. This claim is entirely without forte, because they have made no settlements north of the 49th degree. It appears from a letter from one of the Agents of the British North West Company. that they have no settlement in Oregon north of latitude 49 deg. and never had any; and there is not now, and never has been, one single white man loialed ia that portion of the Territory. British preten .sion-to that portion of the territory, resting as it does, entirely on a claim of settlement, therefore, falls to the ground. In view of the rapid increase of our population and the character of that people for bold and daring enterprise; it is not a little astonishing that any think ing man among us is willing to yield to the pretensions of Great Britain. The argument that the country north of the 49th is of no value, is founded in error. It is true, that for agricultural purposes, it may nut be so impor tant to possess it, but it is well known that the best, and indeed the only good harbors on the coast, are north of the 49th degree, and as the value and importance of the territory of the United States de pends mainly on its adiantageous position for carrying ea a profitable commerce with some of the richest portions of the earth, the folly of surrendering this part of the territory, or indeed any part, must be mainifest to all who have made themselves acquainted with the facts. It is the control of the safe and excellent harbors north albs 49th that makes the countr) so valuable to Great Britain; she wishes to maintain her "mari time ascendency," and in ordet to do so, she must con trol the country and the harbors north of the 49th de gree. Win whit Mexico.--Tile correspondent of the N '-'44lerahl, in a letter dated Washington city, Aug. 15th, sa)fi , "Oar forces already concentrated in Texas her southern frontries, am aunt to 1500 regulars, infant ry. and dragoons, under Taylor and Twiggs.

In the Gulf we have a squadron of eight vessels of war with an aggregate of two hundred guns and up wards—three more ships are ordered down—while, on the Pacific side. we have a fleet of ten ships in process of concentration to the blockade, at the signal, off the coast of California. With such a - force as this, thus concentrated against her, Mexico ie bound hand and foot War with her on such terms is a mere farce—a sham fight—a a feu •dit,joie.

JOB N B IGLER, EDITOR. WAY, AUGUST 21, 1845 OM's. TROPICAL Stops—Loss of Life.—A most fearful storm of thunder sat-lightning took placeat the town of Holguin, Island of Cubs, on the 4th ult., killing 15 pennies is the town, in and near the public,square. The greatest lose of life was, however, in the vicinity of the town, amounting in some accounts, to between rutty and forty-five ! At St. Jago the heat bad been, endcontinued intense; great numbers of persons had died from the effects of the sun. The drought contin ued in that pert of the island with all its previous in tensky. ANOTHER COMPANY OF OREGON EMIGRANTS 1R Dtszaass.—The St. Joseph's Gazette published in Missouri, has news from the Oregon emigrants. AA. nothercompany is lost which .contains 15 men and 35 women.., They were about 800 miles above Council Bluffs, on the Missouri River, they had despaired of geuing on this season, and are planting buckwheat in the expectation of provisions on which they may re sume their journey next Spring. • ATROCITICI IN HATTI.—We learn upon good au thority, says the Jamaica Times, that the Spanish and French parts of this distracted country are carrying on a savage war between themselves. The former are said to have punished their prisoners on a late occa sion, in veritable oriental style, in return for which the others had shot their Spanish prisoners. We under stand that on a late occasion, fifteen were shot in one day at Cape Sabana. Where, then—how are these mad atrocities to be put a stop to? They are a dis grace to the age—te the world—to humanity. PAY UP.—Some writer very justly remarks, that .'Man owes Women a vast rn.wal debt, which has been accumulating both in principal and interest since the foundation of the world and unless he soon begins to liquidate it in some shape, be will become a bankrnpt in the eye of heaven." Think of it, ponder on it, you proud 'lords of creation,' and make an early settlement. CUTTING yr A DANDT.-A dandy in Broadway wishing to be witty, accosted the old bellman as fol lows: "You take all sorts of trumpery in your cart dont you?" "Yes, jump in, jump in." 13P The case of the Secretary of K •ntucky, Benj Hardin, is thus explained by the Ky. Gazette: "A friend residing in or near Bardstown, confided *to the care and protection of the Secretary, a daugh ter, who wished to complete her knowledge of the mil linery business, requesting him to procure hoarding for her in a reputable family. The Secretary took her to a house of ill fame, and attempted to seduce her. A citizen of Frankfort acquiring a knowledge of her situation rescued her from her perilous condition and took her to his own house. As soon as these facts transpired, the public indignation arose to 'uch a pitch, that the Secretary was forced to leave Frankfort, to avoid a due king in the Kentucy river or a suit of tar and feathers. No Ficrion.—A london paper says that two per sons of a name now very notorious—viz : Mr. and Mrs. Caudle—appeared at the Buw Street police office on Wednesday, and to make the coincidencecorhplete the gentleman was henpecked, the lady a thorough vi rago, and most unconscionable talker. Being fined £3 for an assault. she declared she would destroy her self in jail, and dared her husband to prevent it at hi■ peril. LOOK OUT TOR POIJONICD TE/I.—Tbe N. Y. Her aid says, nearly half a million dollars worth of tea was damaged by the late fire, but not burnt so as to destroy its natural appearance. Thousands of boxes of this damaged tea are now beini shovelled up placed in rough boxes, as if to be offered for sale. It is well known that if an acid should come in contact with the sheet lead with which tea•boxes are lined, the com• pound would be deadly poison. And it is but reason able to suppose that during the late fire much of this tea has been thus poisoned. DIAMONDS IN MEXlCo.—According to the report of an expert geologist, Van Gerold, diamonds have been discovered in the Mexican mountain range in the Sierra Madre, in the direction of Acapulco, to the south west of the city of Mexico. Humboldt hadronjectur ed that diamonds and platina occurred further to north•weat, in the gold washery of Sonoro. It is also said that immense tracts of auriferous effiuviaoccurred in Upper California, as also in New Mexico. They era principally in the possession of wild tribes. CotcaaEsstots•t. ELECTION s.—Tho Lexington Ga zette says, The reported returns render it probable that the democrats have elected but three members of Congress in Kentecky, Boyd, Martin and Tibbaus, but the great reduction in the whig majorities in the other districts ahow that the power of whiggery is rapidl y declining, and that another fight will give the finish ing touch to the overthrow of their power in this State. To JotNs GLLB TOOF.THER.—MeIt a little isinglass in spirits of wine, adding thereto about a fifth part of water and using a gentle beat. When perfectly melt ed and mixed, it will form a transparent glue, which will unite glue so that the fracture wilt hardly be per. sieved. flrA fund wife in St. Louis recently prevented her husband from going out to a duel in which he was en gaged, by locking him up in his sleeping apartment, having first secreted his bat and boots. "Love," then does not always "laugh at the locksmiths." • riPAt tbe close of a meeting in Illinois in favor of oar right to Oregon, nine cheers were given for "an ocean-bound Republic." THE SOUTH nu CROPS.—Corn,uncertain; rolatoes, abundant; Cotton, heavy, probably 2,500.000 bales; Tobacco, full average; Rice, not full; Sugar, a splendid crop, probably 250,000,000 lbs. Texas crops all good. A RICH TowN.—New Bedford contains 12,000 in habitants, and its valuation is $12,000,000, being $lOOO to each man, woman and child. tar The Nauvoo Neighbor, the Mormon organ, says, that the many destructive fires which have oc cuned thisyear are owing to the "anger of the Lordt beeausetbe murder o(Joe Smith and his brother Hy rum bait not been atoned fort Annitsrs.—A large number of Anti-renters concern ed in the late atrocious murder in Delaware county, N York, hare been committed for trial, and fresh arrests are make everyday. Among those tsken,is that prince of brutes, Moses Earl, who "would not pay his rent to save fifty lives!" The best spirit seems to prevail a mong the citizens generally. Governor Wright was daily expected at Albany. BRISTITY.—That writer does the most who gives his readers the most knowledge and takes from him the least time. In literature as in finance, much pa per and much poverty may co-exist. Hosiicide.—(By Morse's Telegraph, Washington, 64 o'clock, P IVl.3—Mr Wm Kendall, son of Amos K en d a u i Esq, was a few minutes agomet upon the a venue, and shot dead, by Rufus Elliott, her:Aber-in-law of John C Bivese—Balt. Sao. Must Movastaays.—The staimboat MitWouri brought down yesterday, says theN 0 Picayune . of 10th, companies C and Dof the 4th Infantry. They are from Fort Scott, on the Missouri, but last front Jef f erson Barracks. They were under the command. as far down as St Louis, of Brevet Major Graham, Capt McCall, Louts Rollaway, Riskin, anti Cochran, but upon their arrival here the officers in command were reported tube Brevet Major Graham. and Lieuts Charles Hoskins, R E Cochran and B A Berry. The same boat brought down a detachment of recruits from Jefferson Barracks, under command of Lieut Gore. The whole body, 146 in number, were landed at the Barracks below duchy. They are on their way to juin the forces already in Texas. If the accredited estimates of the Mexican force be nearly accurate, and we do not doubt that they are, it would not be hazardous to entrust the settlement of our difficulties with Mexico to those of our troops which will shortly be concentrated on the Western frontier of Texas.

Never give up! it is wiser and better Always to hope than once despair; Fling off the load of Doubt's clinkering fetter, And break the dark spell of tyrannical care: Never give up! or the burthen may sink you— Previdence kindly has mingled the cup, And in all trials or troubles, bethink you, The watchword of life must be, Never give up! Never give up! theta are chances and changes Helping the hopeful a hundred to one, And through the chaos, High Wisdom arranges Ever success—if you'll only hold on; Never give up! for the wisest is boldest, Knowing that Providence mingles the cup, And of all maxims the best and the oldest, Is the true watchword of Never give up. Never give up! though the grape shot may rattle, Or the full thunder cloud over you burst, Stand like a rock, and the storm or the battle Little shall harm you, though doing their worst Never give up! if adversity presses Providence wisely has mingled the cup, And the best counsel in all your distresses, Is the stout watchward of Never give up. SINGULAR ARRIVAL It is really a matter of curiosity to look over a file of papers published j•rft before the American Revolu tion, says the Boston Olive Branch, and see how the patriotic feelings of our worthy fathers showed them selves in every thing they did: even the transporting of a wagon load of merchandize, from one town to anoth er, is a great curiosty. Here is an example, taken from the Boston Evening Post, Sept. 19,1774, inclu ding the editoral remarks and the Bill of Lading: Last week arrived in Town from Plymouth a num bin. of Bars of Steel, made in that County. which are said to be equal, if not superior, to any maufactured in Germany: "The following is a copy of the Bill of Lading which the Captain of the Wagon signed for the safe Delivery of the same viz: SHipt by the Grace of God in good Order and well conditioned by -- —, in and upon the good Waggon called the Lord North's Revenge, whereof is Master under God for this present Voyage, Con sider Orevtt, and now being in the Town of Plymouth, and by God's Grace bound fur the poor, unhappy block'd up Port of Boston. To say,—Bars of Steel, being mar k'd and numbered as in the Margin, and are to be delivered in like good Order and well condition ed at the aforesaid Port of Boston (Dangers of Tories excepted) unto or to his Assignees, he or they paying Freight for the said Goods------, as per Agreement. In Witness whereof, the Master or Purser of said Waggon bath affirmed to two Bills of Lading of this Tenor and Date, one of which two Bills being accomplished, the other to stand Void, and so God send the good Waggon to her desired Port in safety Amen. Dated at Plymouth this 30th Day of August, 1774. COWStDER ORCUTT.
