FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
JAMES M. POWER,
OF MERCER CQUXTV.
On Tuesday evening last, we had the pleas
tut, in common with a few of our citizens, of
lisU'rmig to the vocal and instrumental perform
ances of Mr. Brooks, and we confess we were
much gratified. Mr. B. presents the fairest
credential of musical -education, but his best
recommendation after all is his own perform
ancc. As the evening was very unfavorable,
he propos.es visiting Stroudsburg, on Tuesday
of next week, (the 15th inst.,) when all who
feel an interest in music sacred music espe
cially sre invited to attend, in order to judge
o" Mr. B.'s ability. We understand he is wil
ling to take charge of a class for three months,
on reasonable lerms ; and he will undertake on
hi part, to ground his pupils in the rudiments
of music, not only of the diatonic, but the chro
matic scale also, combining practice with theo
ry. We should judge the present to be a very
favorable opportunity for those who wish to ac
quire a knowledge of music in the first instance,
and also for those who may desire to refresh
their actual knowledge, and extend their re
searches into this most delightful art.
We Mjppose a compliance with the apostolic
injunction, to sine not only with the spirit, but
wuh ihe understanding also, requires a study of
the principles ol'jiiusic, as the necessary basis
of an intelligent and pleasant performance.
Now, if we may be so bold, we would gently
commend this consideration to choirs and con
gregations in this place, and in ail other places.
Vermont Election.
The returns, so far as receired, indicate that
there has probably again been no choice of Go
vernor by ihe people, although there has been
a considerable increase of the Whig vote, and
the probable election of Messrs. Henry, Colla
mer and Marsh in three congressional districts,
and no choice in the fourth. The rote in the
eighty three towns is for Eaton, (Whig,) 10,
502; Smith, (Democrat,) 7173; all others,
2726. There are fifty-two Whig Representa
lives elected, thirty democrats and four Liberty.
To be again Deceived. The British loco-
C . t r
loco organs m tnis aiate, are endeavoring to
persuade the people that the President will re
commend to Congress at its next session more
ample protection to its great staples, Coal and
Iron. If the people of Pennsylvania are fools
enough to be gulled agsin, they deserve to Buf
fer. Mayor of Philadelphia. The three polit
ital parlies of Philadelphia have nominated
their candidates for Mayor the Whigs, Col
John Swift; the democrats, Recorder Richard
Vaux; and the natives, Col. Peter A. Browne
Death of Judge Kennedy
Hon. John Kennedy, one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, died at
Philadelphia on Wednesday night, 26ib ult.,

FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival of the BraJaisiiia.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER.
The British Mail Steamer Britannia, arrived
at Boston at I o'clock P. M. on Thursday after
a passage of fifteen days, having left Liverpool
on the evening of the 19th ult.
The Hon. Louis McLane, our late Minister
to England, has returned to this country.
The Sugar Duties Bill which formed the test
of the strength of the Russell Ministry, has
passed the House of Lords, and will, of course,
become a law.
The election in France has resulted in a
strong majority for Mr. Guizot's administration.
The subject of the existing destitution in
Ireland, has been before the House of Com
mons, and money has been appropriated for the
employment of the poor of that country.
The news received from this country, had
given an impetus to trade.
There have been great storms and floods in
England.
The effect of the passage of the Tariff Bill
in Congress, was already felt in England. The
Iron and Woolen trades had experienced a de
cided improvement. The price of Iron had ad
vanced. The Canon market has been in a quiescent
state. The sales on the 18th, at Liverpool,
were estimated at 6000 bales.
The money market is easy, and for business
cash can be had very roadily.
The produce markets are tolerably active,
both as regards the home and the export trade.
Sanatort Regulations.--A public meeting
has lately been held in the British metropolis
for the purpose of taking measures to prevent
the spread of disease, although some contended
that a few cases of the Asiatic Cholera had ap
peared, the general feeling of the meeting was
opposed to this conclusion.
Indian Corn has risen to 32s. per qr
The accounts of the potato crop continue to
be disastrous.
The New Papal Tariff makes great reduc
tions on Woolen manufacturers, Cotton goods,
Sugar and Coffee.
The steamer Cambria arrired out in 10 days
and 16 hours,
The popularity of the New Pope is unboun
ded. American Hams are selling at 35s to 43s.
Lard in kegs sells at 38a40s ; barrelled 35s
to 38s. There is a good demand for Beef and
ork, and late prices are fully supported.
Cheese of good quality is very scarce at Liv
erpool ; parcels of an indifferent quality have
been sold at 35s a 42s per cwt.
State or Trade at Manchester. No
change to report in our Cloth market since this
day week. The favorable commercial news
rom the United States has made the market
what may be called firm. In Printing Cloths
of good quality there is an advance, though a
small one.
The Mormon Troubles.
Exciting accounts continue to reach us from
the West, in relation to apprehended conflict
and bloodshed between the Mormons and their
opponents. The difficulty seems to be, that
although the greater portion of the Mormons
have sold their property at a considerable sac
rifice and removed still further west, some have
thus far been unable or unwilling to do so.--
This fragment of the sect is charged with all
sorts of outrages, falsely no doubt, in many ca
ses. An excitement is tnus produced, ana
threats of extermination are made. The St.
Louis New Era of the 28th says :
" From Capt. Throckmorton we learn that
he left Keokuk, Tuesday evening, and lhat dur
ing ihe day he saw and conversed wilh Higby,
a strong anti-Mormon, who informed him that
an engagement was inevitable; bis business at
Keokuk was to purchase lead, and he did buy
eleven pigs, to be taken to Carthago and there
run into balls. Hieby slated lhat there were
near 1000 men gathered at Carthage, for the
purpose of attacking the Mormons; and that it
was iheir determination to drive them, new cit
izens and all, from the State. The attack was
contemplated on Wednesday, and unless they
gel frightened, as before, we may expect to
hear of a fight or a foot race.
Pos'rscRip.--The Warsaw Signal of the 25th
aaye: We learned last evening from Carthage
that ihe Posse Comitates was assembling at
Carihage and La Harpe. At the former place
there were about 600 armed men, and at the
latter about 400, and reinforcements are hourly
arriving. The posse will probably march to
Nativoo to morrow morning, under the com
mand of Maj. Brockman, of Brown county.
The Belvidere Apollo of ihe 8ih inst , says
At a camp-meeting held at Richmond.'Pa., a
few miles distant from ibis town, Mrs. Racely
an elderly woman, suffered art attack of palsy
on Fiiday, which caused her death in about
three hours.
LATER FKOItt THE ARMY.
We are indebted to the New Orleans papers
for Extras containing late advices from the ar
my. The dates from Brasos Santiago are to
the 24th August:
Captain Duncan, with a small party of Tex
an Rangers, had recently returned to Camargo,
after having scoured the country on the other
side the San Juan as far as Seralvo, a pleasant
town half way to Monterey. On the second
day Capt. McCulIoch was sent into Mier very
much indisposed. The night before, he shot
a Mexican, who was caught on an American
horse and who attempted to escape by running.
The fellow broke through the chapparl, and
made a good race for his life; but McC. was
too fast for him. On the second night, after a
forced march of great length, Capt. Duncan
threw his men at different points around the
town of Punta Aguda, having learned that a
Mexican officer named Ramirer was in the
place with a detachment of recruits for Canales.
So complete was the surprise that Capt. D. was
enabled to reach a ball room in the centre of
ihe town, where a grand fandango was then in
full blast, without a soul suspecting his ap
proach. His object was to take any Mexican
officers prisoners, that might be there stationed
in the place, and supposing that they might be
at the fandango, he ordered all within the room
not to move, after telling them, in the first place,
that every avenue to the town was guarded by
the Rangers. Notwithstanding this order, some
of those inside the room went covertly out, and
endeavored to leave the town; but one of them
was shot dead in the attempt, and another had
his arm shattered by a rifle ball from one of the
Texans. The latter was brought back to the
fandango room, where his wound was dressed
in one corner, the dance going on the while at
the request of Capt. D., although with not as
much spirit as it might. Finding that he could
get hold of no prisoners of importance, the com
mander of the parly continued his march to
Seralvo, arrived there without hindrance or mo-
esiaiion, and after an examination of the place,
returned in safety by way of Agna Legnes and
Mier.
Another correspondent, speaking of the warm
weather at Camargo, says that on the 14th, the
atmosphere, the earth and the limestone walls
seemed to be on fire. The troops nevertheless
were in. tolerable health. There are now 11,-
000 volunteers and 3,000 regulars on the Rio
Grande. The camp just below Camargo, was
over a mile long, the line of tents averaging
about twelve deep. The marching hereafter
will be principally done at night. It was re
ported at Camargo that a large body of Mexi
can troops had already assembled at Monterey;
but this we doubt. Ii was thought that the ar
my would move towards that place by two sep
arate routs.
One Lie Exposed.
A story has been going the rounds of the
British Free Trade papers, lhat Mr. Cooper, an
Iron Manufacturer at Trenton had raised the
wages of his hands in the Trenton Iron works,
which the Free Trade organs pointed to as ev
idence that the new Tariff bill was not destruc
live to the manufacturing interest. Mr. Coop
er however strangles this lie in the bud. In i
letter to the Ledger he contradicts the state
ment and says : "It must be apparent that the
reduction in the tariff will and has already re
duced the price of iron and that the loss which
will accrue must fall alike on capital and on la
bor; and wages so far from being advanced
must, as a matter of absolute necessity, be very
considerably reduced between this and the 1st
of December next, so as to meet a falling mar
ket and after that still more considerably, un
less Congress, at its next session shall make
the requisite modifications in the tariff to enable
labor to receive its just reward." Hun. Gas

Southern fcocofoco Insolence. j
What a pitiaUe, humiliating spectacle, says
the Berks and Schuylkill Journal, does the de
mocracy of Pennsylvania present to their party
friends in the Southern and Western Siaies.
Cheated and betrayed into the support of a man
pledged to the destruction of their interests,
ihey are now ridiculed and abused for the con
fidence they reposed in their leaders. The
very editors who gave countenance to the great
swindle that was perpetrated against the whole
North, are now the most malicious in their abuse
of those who were so wickedly deceived. The
following article which we cut from the "Hick
ory Herald," published in Jonesborough, Ten
nessee, will show what the neighbors of Jimmy
Polk think of us:
" Much has been said about Pennsylvania
and Pennsylvanians in connection with the Ta-
riff. From the beginning of the Presidential
canvass to the present hour the whig press has
asserted that Col. Polk practised a fraud upon
ihe people of that State on the subject of pro
teciion. Now in the face of Mr. Polk's speech
es, votes and acts against the Protective system
throughout a long and brilliant Congressional
career in ihe teeth of his letter to Kane, ad
vocating the revenue principle of his Inaugural,
and finally of his Message to Congress the
men or set of men, the State or part oj a State,
who could still be so ignorant of his views as
to think him a friend of a Protective and not a
Revenue Tariff, are so grossly stupid so des
titute of common sense, so perfectly full of all
the qualities oj an ASS, that they are incapable
of self-government."
The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury, an out and
out Locofoco Free Trade paper, has the same
exalted opinion of the Democracy' of Pennsyl
vania. The Mercury says:
" It is indeed a notable pretension to set up
that because Pennsyh'anians were too IGNO
RANT AND STUPID to know whai were the
ISSUES involved in the Presidential elec
tion, it is therefore dishonest and treacher
ous for Congress to adopt any measures but
such as their IGNORANCE or STUPIDITY
may dictate or approve."
And again, in the same paper of a later date
the following; paragraph appears :
" It is staled that the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania really did believe lhat the surest
way to preserve ihe Tariff of '42 was to vote
or the Democratic candidates. The thing is
almost incredible ; but when we see the confi
dence with which the press of thai State relies
on the stupidity of its readers, we can be
lieve almost any thing in that way."
The Philadelphia Times, which was one of
ihe dupes, comments on the above as follows :
"Alas! poor, despised, betrayed, down-trodden
and insulted Pennsylvania! What! even South
Carolina making game of us ? And has it beer.
for this that she has labored so Ions and suc
cessfully in the ranks of Democracy 1 What!
taunted by South Carolina! the land of Buz
zards and Bowie Knives nullification and ig
norance ihe abode of cotton lords and slavery
where white men are sold for debt and slaves
hung for defending themselves against the un
provoked and deadly assaults of their masters?
Must we submit any longer lo the dictajion of
such monsters ? As freemen as xVmericans
as producers and not drones upon society,
we say no ! no ! ! We are able to govern our
selves, and we shall for the futuro do it. We
will not allow the Southern lord with Bowie
knife in hand and dagger drawn, lo first injure
and theft insult us. Forbearance any longer
will cease to be a virtue, and for the future we
shall so act as to be able to protect ourselves
from aggression and injury, no matter from
what source it may come."
Mr. Foster's Prospects.
We give a few evidences of the flattering
prospects of Mr. Foster's election. On every
hand he is gelling most direct, and cutting
thrusts from his own party ; 6uch as fore-doom
him to defeat beyond a doubt. Among the
many evidences of the determination lo floor
him, we may nonce ihe fact that the Hunting
don county Locofoco Convention passed a res
olution approving the ONE TERM principle,
and said not a word about Mr. Foster! The
Mifilin county Convention did ihe same thing,
only more so; for it gives His Excellency,
Uov. bhunk, a hint also, in ihis wise: " Re-
solved, That we declare n (one term) the set
tled principle of Mifflin county in relation to all
future elective officers from Governor to Audi
tor inclusive."-
And again: ihe "Democratic Convention"
of Warren county, has adopted the following,"
which is also to the point :
"Resolved, That rotation in office is a dem
ocratic doctrine ; and that the democratic party
of ihis county believe in ihe policy of the " ONE
TERM" principle, so far as relates to all of
fices where patronage can he diapenscd by iha
incumbent !" 4
At a Locofoco meeting in Chester county, a
kading Loco made some remarks to the foHnw-
ing effect. We copy from ihe Village Record:
" A motion being made to adopt ihe resolu
tions as reported, James Monaghan. Eq., de
clared lhat he could not vote for the one which
says lhat Win. B. Foster," the candidate for
Canal Commissioner, was "in every respect
worthy of the confidence of the people." Mr.
M. said he could not support that reBohition.
He did not believe that Mr. Foster was worthy
of confidence. He said he had been nomina
ted by management : that he had withheld ap
pointments upon ihe public improvements in
order to secure his nomination ; and that he
had used his office to effect lhat object ; and
that to this day, he had not made certain ap
pointments to fill offices which were now held
by men who had given not one cent of securuv
to the Stale. He could not approve such crm-
duct. Besides, that Mrfrosier, when a dele
gate to the National Convention at Baltimore
had voted for the two-thirds rule, by which th
Democracy of Pennsylvania were betrayed, and
ihe majority defeated. And an effori was made
to sanction his conduct and his democracy.
Such democracy as that of Mr. Foster's, he did
not believe in "away wilh it," said Mr. M.
"I want noihing to do with such democracy!"
Mr. Monaghan went on in this strain ; but we
have not room to follow him. We hope ihe
democrats of Chester county will think for them
selves, as Mr. Monaghan has, and we have no
doubt many of them will agree with him in dis
approving of the nomination of Foster."
A Remarkable Coincidence.
Mr. Foster, the Locofoco nominee for Canal
Commissioner, is at Erie ; and ihe Erie Ofxrt
ver Issued the same day of the last Democratic
Union of this place, which proclaims Mr. Fos
ter as the friend of the Tariff of 1842, define
his position on this subject, and says that he "is
the friend of the Democratic Tariff of IS16"!!'
Here is a remarkable coincidence, almost .-is
much so as the scheme which was carried out
in 1844 of making Polk a Free Tridnr at the
South, and a friend of the Tariff of 1842, ai ihe
North. The agency of" Polk's nea- neighbor"
which so enlightened the Union in 1844. can
readily be seen in the Foster scheme. It will
next declare alt said about Foster's opposition
to a protective Tariff as " vile Whig falsehoods."
Hamsburg Telegraph.
Wheat is selling in Ohio at 52 cts. per bush
el, and in Iowa at 34 cents'.
Business in New York is not as active as it
usually is at this period. The fact is attribu
ted to the changes recently made in our com
mercial system. The importations under ihe
warehousing system are large, and when they
come to be laken out after the first of Decem
ber, it is expecled that there will be a very ma
terial reduciion in ihe prices of cotton and wool
len manufacturers, in consequence of an over
supply. Buyers of course hold back to get the
benefit of the cheap prices, and business is
thus retarded and delayed for a longer period
than usual.
