Grand National mass Meeting.
Among the published proceedings of the Cele
bration of the 4th of July by the Whigs of Phila
delphia, we find the following Resolution, which
was offered by James S. Wallace. Esq. tho able
editor of the Philadelphia National Forum, and
adopted with acclamation by the company.
Resolved, That the Whigs of Philadelphia ten
der an invitation to the Whigs of the Whole Un
ion, to meet in Grand Mass Convention, on the 4 th
of July 1844, at Independence Square, in the City
of Philadelphia, to respond to the nomination of
the National Whig Convention."
For us, wc approve of the proposition with all
our hearts, and hope that the invitation so exten
sively given, will be responded to by the gallant
Whigs of the Union, in the same liberal spirit.
The National Whig Convention, lo nominate can
didates for President and Vice President, will be
held at Baltimore, on the 4th of May 1844, two
months previous to the anniversary of our Inde
pendence, which will allow full and ample time
for persons from every part of the Union to be ap
prised of the nominations, before starting from
home to attend the Grand Mass Convention. The
place, is the best that could possibly have been
selected. What spot in the Union is calculated
to rouse up the same patriotic feelings and resolu
tions, on the Fourth of July, as the Hall of Inde
pendence, in which, on that day, our glorious Dec
laration was adopted, and afterwards signed. Be
sides, Philadelphia is a strong Whig City, and the
firm and steadfast love of her citizens for- the
character of Henry Clay could not but have the
most salutary influence upon the lens of thousands
who would gather together on the occasion. Upon
the whole, we think the proposed Mass Meeting, is"
the most important movement that has yet been
broached, for the success of the Whig candidates
in 1844. It will create an enthusiasm, which will
spread like wildfire 'over the Union, and work the
most happy results.
Os:r Iloroug!:.
Stroudsburg never looked more beautiful than
it does at present. The grand and majestic
scenery which surrounds and hems it in, is now ;
in its pride, and the lovely streams, which cross
it at almost ever1' point, never appeared more
cheerful and refreshing. With reviving nature,
our languishing trade and business also seem to
have received a new impetus. The pressure,
which rested so heavily upon us, is gradually
giving way, and activity and confidence appear
uuce mtTC to be assuming their svray.
Business of every kind has improved, and sev
eral new establishments have been started, with
every prospect of success. All the houses in the
Borough are occupied, and the demand for dwel
lings has been such as to induce some of our cit
izens to put up a number of new buildings, during
tijc present summer. The gieatest improvement
oi the season is a large and commodious Hotel,
w.uch has been erected by Mr. John Shivcly, and
which will be completed in a few days. "It is in
tended for the accommodation of the public-generally,
slid is peculiarly well adapted for city, and
other travelling custom. Mr. S. will occupy it
himself, and is pronounced, by those who know
llim, to be the prince of landlords'.

:rr, .'Boston, July Mth, 1843.
Our Borougnjwas?qiute enlivened on Satur
day, by the sound of "jG.fo and drum," and a
procession of several hundred tow paih boys
and boatmen on foot, and about two hundred
mounted on boat horses, who marched all over
own. They came from the opposite side of
the Lehigh, along ihc Matich Chunk Canal,
where they havo struck for higher wages.
There are now about four hundred loaded and
empty boats lying within three miles of Eas
ton, the workmen on which have resolved to
suspend operations, until the Mauch Chunk
Company agrees to give them 20 cents additi
onal for carrying a ton of coal from the mines
to Philadelphia. The price has heretofore,
(this summer,) been fifty cents, and seventy is
asked. The Company refuses to give the ad
vance, and ihc boatmen refuse to go to work.
Time will show who can stick out the longest.
In tho meantime, no bnsinesss is doing on the
Lehigh Canal, and the Collector on the Dela
ware Canal, does not take in S200 a week.
For my pan; I think 50 cents a ton entirely too
little for carrying coal, and that 70 cents
would no more than afford the boatmen a de
cent means of Hying.
Mr. Edward L. Wolf, a son of the late Gov.
Wolf, has issued proposals for publishing a
new weekly paper, in this place, to be callqd
the " Easton Gazelle." It is to be " Loco
Foco," in politics, but which of the two fac
tions of the party, in the county, it is lo sup
port, is not mentioned. We have already
quite as many papers in "Northampton, as the
people can afford to support, and consequently
1 think this new one will turn out but a poor
speculation for its pcoprietor. The first num
ber is to bo published'some time in August.
Seven pupils from iho Institution for the
Education of the Blind, in Philadelphia, have
paid lis a visit during the past week, and grati
fied us with several interesting performances.
They are expert musicians, and mska the most
delightful harmonies. They also gave us a
specimen of their manner of reading, which
they accomplish altogether by I he touch of
their fingers. They have also a number of fancy
articles, of their own manufacture, for sale.
A Theatrical company has arrived here, and
will give their first performance litis evening.
Several excellent actors are among their num
ber. We have had several refreshing; showers in
this neighborhood, a few days past, and corn
and potatoe fields and gardens have revived
in a wonderful manner. The grass, also does
no longer look, as if tho fields had been on
fire but is green, as it ought so be. A great
deal of grain has already been taken in.
Yours, &c. J. J.

The Royal Steam Ship Columbia, which left
Boston on the 1st inst. .ran the day after, during a
heavy fog, upon a craggy rock partially covered
with land near Seal Island, on the. southernmost
coast of Nova Scotia. She was going at the time
the accident happened at the rate of ten knots an
lwur. and drove upon a rock five feet above high
water mark. At the latest accounts, she had al
ready partly broken, and was swinging by her
.bows, certain to be dashed to pieces by the ordin
ary commotion of the waves. The mails, and all
the furniture on board of her were secured, and

We are happy to announce that this beautiful
volunteer corps is in a very flourishing condition,
and that the members will before long make their
first parade, under the new officers, and iu their
new uniform- We love to see a beautiful and
well drilled company, and as we have no doubt
but the Artillerists will prove such an one, are
sorry to see the opposition they meet with from
certain persons. Our militia system has become
so degenerate, that no farther good can be expect
ed from it, until it has received a complete over-
flhihiling, and our only hope therefore, for the de
fence of the liberties of the country, against for
eign aggression, or domestic violence, rests with
our Volunteer Soldiers. It was a wise and. good
saying of Washington, that in "time of peace we
should prepare for war," and in following that ex
cellent man's injunction we are sure we can do no
wrong. We hope then that the young men of
Stroudsburgh, disregarding all unmeaning clamor,
and not being deterred from their good intentions
by the opposition of a few, will go on and build
up a company which will be an ornament to their
Borough, and a defence to their country.

The following method of destroj'ing
these detestable intruders is at once,
simple and effective : procure from
the apothecary a small quantity of
of that odrierous vegetable called po
ko root. Boil it in water till the jui
ces are extracted, and mingle the li
quor with good molasses, spread the
liquor iri large platters or soup plates:
place these wherever the cockroaches
visit, and the enemies will be found
slain by fifties and hundrads on the
following morning. A person who
has tried it. states that he slaughtered
5.75 cockroaches in one night, by the
above, process, and that the root which
had been boiled bein thrown into a
closet, thickly infested by the enemy,
the place was quitted entirely in a few
days, great numbers being left dead.
