Northampton County Wilis Meeting.
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-

Esquires George W. Yates, Eq. reported a
neries of able resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted. Anion: them are several re
commending Peter S. 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.

The official despatches of Gen. Taylor give
the number of killed and wounded, during the
i-iege and capture of Monterey, on the 21st,

may be added four that are missing, bui snp-
posed to have been killed. . .
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

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

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.

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. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were then appointed Vice
Presidents : Joseph B. Jones, Theobald Shaeffer,
Abraham Mann, Abraham W. Lerch, and John
Stocker. Secretaries : John Shouse, Charles
A. Benade, and James A. Rice
On motion of George W. Yates, Esq. the
Chairman appointed the following committee to

after which the Committee, through their Chair-
man. renorted the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted.
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

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,

there can be no lasting national prosperity
Resolved, That the deadly stab given to the
great interests of our Commonwealth, by the
Federal Administration, by the passage of the
Tariff Act of 1846, and the Repeal of the Pro
tective Policv, imperatively demands, that as
freemen, we should resent, the injury, and re-
buke the fraud through which, in 1844, they
secured the power to inflict it
Resolved, That the course pursued by Geo.
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,

and mechanics, before the Free Traders and

Washington Gossip.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, writes as follows:
" The Calhoun men are mustering pretly
strongly in this place, and they avow openly
that their champion will not go into convention;
and if unsuccessful in breaking it up or pie-
venting its assembling, will run an independ
ent candidate of the South, and sweep South at
any rate.
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.
