Our Whig friends had a large and enthusias tic meeting at the Court House, in Easton, on Monday last. Major John IL Keller, of Plain- fiplil nriswlml nnrl nililrpssns wnrn dlivfrfid , Tt ' ' ,, , ,, . by Henry D. Maxwell and Alexander L. Brown, I Esquires George W.

Michi.er, Esq. of Eas ton, as ihe next Whig candidate for Governor; and urging his claims upon ihe people of Penn- .sylvania. We cheerfuHy comply with the re quest of the Meeting, and publish the proceed ings entire, in to-day's paper. Our Next Governor. We are highly gratified with the Whig meet ing, at Easton, on Monday last, in bringing be fore the public the name of Peter S. Michler, Esq , as a competitor for the nomination for Governor, by the State Convention, to be held at Harrisburg, on the 4th of Maich. We have long been personally acquainted with Mr. M., and from an intimate knowledge of his charac ter and qualifications, can freely endorse all that is said in his favor by the meeting. In our opinion he is just the man for the present crisis ; and with him as our leader, we can en ter upon the approaching contest, with a moral certainty of success. Mr. Michler is a great favorite in this sec tion of the couniry, and cannot fail, if nomina ted, in carrying a very large vote. He has twice already been a candidate, here, and on both occasions ran ahead of his ticket. In 1835, he was elected to the State Senate, from this strongly Democratic District, by a hand some majority. He has a large circle of friends, lo whom he is endeared by his amiable deport ment and many good qualities and we are sat isfied that no other man in Pennsylvania can receive as many votes in ihe North-Eastern part or the Slate as we would be able to give him. We place his name at the head of our editorial column, where we trust the decision of the Convention will permit it to remain, un til ihe Whig Banner shall wave in triumph over the Old Keystone in October next. The new Constitution of New York, has been adopted, according to the Tribune, by a majority of not less than 50,000 and perhaps 100,000. From Mexico. Accounts to Sept. 26th have been received from the capitol. The govern ment was making extraordinary efforts to raise money. Santa Anna had contributed liberally of his private wealth; the clergy had consented lo mortgage their property for $2,000,000; the merchants of ibe city had agreed to furnish $200,000 per month ; and Senor Gomez de la Cortina had furnished S50.000. This looks like making a vigorous defence. Morton McMichael, Esq., has become asso ciated with the Norlh American as 6ne of iis editors. The editors are now George R. Gra ham, R. T. Conrad and Morion McMichael. A large number of European speculators came out in the Britannia, to buy wheat. Latest from Mexico.

The official despatches of Gen.

Failure of Hie Second AUack ou Alvarado. The Philadelphia papers contain the partic ulars of the second attack made by our naval forces upon Alvarado, which appears to have been as fruitless as the first nothing was effect ed, and the squadron retired. Gen. Vega. The Washington Union con firms the recent statement, that Gen. Vega is to be exchanged for Captain Carpender and the crew of the Truxton ; and says, that our gov ernment has agreed to the exchange, and that Maj. Gen. Scott has issued orders for the re lease of Gen. Vega and his officers. Congress assembles on Monday the 7th of December next. Kuseucss Produce the lL0a.11, &c. The business season is gradually drawing to a close. The canals continue open however, and thus produce in immense quantities is find ing its way to the Atlantic cities. The wealth of the West is pouring in, and the aggregate amount received this year will be immense. The tolls on the State Works of Pennsylvania, as well as those of New York, have considera bly increased ; and the prospect, therefore, is full of encouragement. An official statement from Harrisburg furnishes the following: Harrisburg, Nov. 9, 1846. The following shows the receipts from the Pennsylvania Improvements up to the 1st n .... of Nov. 1846, compared with ihe same portion of the year 1845, viz: 1S4G, Nov. , Total receipts from ail ihe lines in 1846. 1845, $1,163,913 54 1,077,856 97 j Increase in 1 1 months of 1846, over same period of 1845, $86,056 57 In New York, the total amount of tolls from the opening of navigation, to the close of Oct , 1846, was $2,355,039 Same period in 1S45, 2,246,278 Increase in 1846, $108,761 As an evidence of the kind of produce that is forwarded, we give the following from the Albany Atlas, as a single day's receipts at the Canal office in that city: Flour, barrels 32,641 50 13 395,200 230,100 16,500 24,981 2,126 12,161 Ashes, ii Pork, Cheese, " Butter, " Wool, " Wheat, bush. Corn, Barley, " Y In brief, the amounts of wheat, flour, and other articles of the kind, which have been re ceived from the West within the last month, are enormously large. The New York Canal usually closes about the 20th of November, and the Hudson River about the 15th of December. Hence tho anxiety to forward the bread-stuffs that lftve accumulated at the Western Depots, as speedily as possible. During the week which has just gone by, much anxiety has been felt as to the loan of $5,000,000, for which ihe Government recent ly advertised. Some of the leading capitalists contended that the loan would not be taken ; while others affirmed that the whole amount would be promptly subscribed, and at a premi um. As the proposals were to be opened on the 12th, it is probable that we shall be able to give the result before our paper goes to press. The loan has been taken and at a small pre mium Bread Stuffs abroad. A London correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writing under date of October 19th, alludes io the rapid advance of breadstuff's, and says : "This advance has taken place even under ihe supposition that the United States will be able to send to Great Britain an unusually large sunolv of wheat, flour, and Indian corn. The news of the state of the grain markets here and on the Continent, will, no doubt, cause an ex traordinary excitement in the commercial cir cles of the United Slates; but the largest houses will sufler eveutually, if they rush headlong in to ihe whirlpool, and speculate upon the pres ent quotations in the British markets. Before these accounts can reach America, the grain markets there will have advanced .so rapidly, on the strength of previous advices, that cxpor - trs will not be able In realizn n nrnfli nn flnnr. - - ' - -------- wv-- mm v m- - j wheat, or Indian corn, shipped io England in November; and, in the meantime, it is believed! that present prices cannot long be maintained 'here, even if, for a few weeks, they should slightly advance. Orders to an immense ex tent, lor i lie purchase of breadstufls, have been seni to the United Stales during ihe last two months, and when cargo after cargo arrives, and lhe differenttmarkets are well supplied, prices must give way, more especially as lhe British farmer has been holding back his stocks for a greater advance, and these stocks will be thruM upon the market very toon." Democratic Wilis? County Meeting. Pursuant to ihe call of the Standing Commit- tee, a large number of the Democratic Whig citizens of this county assembled at the Court house, on Monday the 16th mst. H. D. Max well, Esq. called the Meeting to order, by sta ting its object, and nominating John H. Kel ler, Esq. of Plainfield as President.

Whereas, we have been called together by the Standing Committee of the County, to se- lect Delegates to the Slate Convention, and io take such other action as may be deemed ex- pedient for the interests and welfare of the Whi Party, therefore : Resolved, That John Shouse and Samuel trusl ,hal il wil1 s,i!1 continue, as it has hereto Yohe of Easton. in connexion with some ner- fore dont3- 10 sustain the spotless honor of our I son to be chosen by our friends in Monroe, be the Representative Delegates, for the District composed of the counties of Northampton and Monroe, to ihe Whig Slate Convention, to be held at Harrisburg on the 4th of March next. Resolved, That Alexander E. Brown, Esq. w - of Easton, be the Senatorial Delegate to repre sent the District composed of Northampton and Lehigh Counties in the said Convention, North ampton being entitled thereto, Lehigh County having had the Delegate at the last Guberna torial Convention. Resolved, That the said Delegates have power to substitute or fill any vacancies that may occur in their number, and that it be iheir duty to see that all the Districts of which Northampton forms a part, be fully represented in said Convention. Resolved, That we regard the approaching Gubernatorial campaign as one of the utmost imporiance, not only in respect to the welfare of the Whig Party, but also as concerns the nearest and dearest interests of Pennsylvania : and that our preparations for it should be made wilh a single eyo to the advancement of those great cardinal principles which are insep- arably blended with the prosperity of our Com- monwealth, and the triumph of the Whig cause, Resolved, That in our opinion the approach- ing contest will be one which must resolve it- self into lhe advocacy of Protection to Ameri- can Industry, by the Whigs, on the one side, and the support of the Federal Administration, with its Free Trade Tariff of 1846; by our op- ponents on the other ; and that the result will be regarded as the deliberate verdict of Penn- among the people would not be seriously di sylvania upon this great and important issue. minished. Resolved, That in view of this important fact, great care should be taken by the Whig Party O J in the selection of their candidate for Governor, to designate a man upon whom all ihe friends of Protection and opponents to the Administra tion may unite, and to whom they can give a cordial and concentrated support. Resolved, That in Peter S. Michler, of Norlh ampion, we recognise such an individual. In him are combined all the qualifications our friends desire His opinions on the Tariff are truly Pennsylvanian-such as were regarded orthodox among our People in ihe better days of the Republic, before Free Trade notions found a foothold within our hnrr1r ami inst such as we want our Standard Bearer to pro- fess. His sound, discriminating mind, fixed Republican principles, unimpeachable integrity and pure public and private virtues, would ren- der him an ornament to the Executive Chair. Whilst his amiable demeanor and fieedom from sectional cliques, would not only unite ihe dif- ferent interests in his own party, but would al- 1 so draw io his support hundreds, who could not, ; nrnhnhlv he inilnr! in vniP fnr mh.r Whin J J ' V - W P ' UIIJ W Ii V I t ' i Resolved, That we earnesily recommend him to the favorable consideration of our Whig i brethren throughout the Stale for their support as the Whip Gubernatorial Nomina hvih4ih of March Convention ; under the firm conviction that wilh him as our Candid,,. ,!

Mifllin Dallas, previously to the election in 1844, as contrasted with his vote upon the Ta riff of 1846, excites in our minds feelings both of shame and indignation. That we blush, when we reflec, lhal a Sou of Pennsylvania, snould 8l00P 10 falsehood and misrepresentation for ,he purpose of acquiring power and that we feel indignant when we perceive the power lhus acquired wielded for the purpose of aiming a vital blow at the Institutions and Interests of his native State, and of prostrating the labors an(1 energies of the Pennsylvania working men and mechanics, before the Free Traders and Slaveholders of the South. Resolved, That as patriots we pledge our support to the Federal Administraiion in ihe ac live an(1 efficient prosecution of the Mexican "ar ,ili,ies have commenced, it is no time for party bickerings and recriminations.

An attempt is making to strike out a middle course between the Tariff of 1S42 and 1846, but with very little prospect, as yet, of union and strength. The tariff of 1840 will be ulti mately that on which the administration will take its stand.
