No paper was issued from this Office last
week, in consequence of our not having re
ceived a supply of paper, which we sent for.
We hope this will be received as a sufficient
apology for our delinquency.

Our prospects wie never brighter than they are
at this moment. Even in the most palmy days of
1840, the Whig patty was not inflamed with a
more determined spirit to uproot locofocoism, and
protect the best interests of the country, than now.
From every quarter our intelligence is the most
cheering. Our forces are enlisted under the ban
ner of Itvhi and Patton, determined to spare no
exertions until they have fought the battle and
gained the victory.
ID Attention is directed to the Cards of Doc
tors Swayze and Mattison, which will be found
on the third page.
Bail Storm.
A severe hail storm visited Allentown and vi
cinity on Tuesday of last week, which lasted about
30 minutes, and did considerable damage. Grain of
all kind was at some places totally struck to the
ground, so that it becomes necessary to cut it with
the sickle. Many of the orchards havo also suf
fered largely, as some were bereft of nearly half
their fruit; and vegetables, especially, were to
tally demolished. The peach orchard of Mr. Smi
ly, on the Lehigh Island, the " Reporter" says, suf
fered immensely; some think the damages that Mr.
R, sustained to be not much short of Si 000. The
window glasses, in particular, were harslijy dealt
with: it is supposed that not less than3000 were bro
ken by the hail. One man alone had 180 broken.
Trees were uprooted and several houses unroofed.

The Plain field Bank.
As some of our readers may be holders of notes
of this institution, we cop' the following from
ricknell's Reporter, showing their probable value.
If we had an' of its notes we should not put them
off at much below par'. "Jos. C. Hornblower,
John S. Daicy, Joel Dunn and Daniel Dodd, Jr.,
receivers for the creditors and stockholders of the
Plainfield Bank, have recently published an inven
tory of the assets of the Bank, their nature and
estimated value, with tfn account of the debts due
to and from the Bank ; from which we learn the
entire value of the assets to be $2GG,344 73, ac
cording to the receiver's estimate. The nominal
amount of assets is much larger. The amount
due and owing by the Bank, as far as ascertained,
indeoendent of the capital stock, is $127,245. A
very large proportion of the assets are notes in
which the Messrs. Beach are liable, either as
drawer, Endorser, or. guarantee. If these notes
are good, the creditors of the Plainfield Bank are
safe.
A Good Joke.
A Correspondent of the Trenton Gazette states
that, on the arrival of the President at Philadelphia,
ihe " supes" of Arch-st. Theatre, not wishing to
be -outdone by their neighbors, threw to the breeze
one of the famous .Hags used in '44, with the follow
ing inscription in the tallest kind of letters. " Polk,
' Dallas, Shunk and the Tariff of M2 ;" whereupon
arose a shout which would have done honor to the
untcrriftcd of that eventful year. So matters stood
for about an hour, -when some of the older boys;
suggested an improvement by cutting oj the Tar-'
thus making unwittingly, more of the history
of Mr Polk's intrigue for office and of his Admin
istration, than either the young or tbe old boys in
tended. The Valley Whig, announces the death of

l-Oll THE JEFl-naSOXIAN'.REPUBUOA.V.
It is one of the best feelings of our -nature,
which prompts us to study the history of those
who have contributed to our happiness. To
feel pleasure in the contemplation of their vir
tues, and pain at the oxhibition of tbeir follies ;
to be moved ty their misfoTtuncs, and to rejoice
at their prosperity, are the sure indications of
a generous heart. As long as such feelings find
a home in the bosoms of men, the names -of their
benefactors will live. Some indeed in their scru
pulousTegard for the welfare of mankind, would
promptly consign to oblivion the memories of all
but tnen of -rigid and spotless virtue. But tiieir
efforts can never be successful, for "there is some
thing in the harmless infirmities of poor human
nature, that pleads touchingly to the feelings, and
the heart yearns towards the object of our admira
tion, when we find that like ourselves he is mortal,
and is frail.11
Oliver Goldsmith as a promoter ofliterature, is
entitled to our warmest gratitude. Genius bestow
ed upon him her choicest gifts thai he might bless
mankind, and he never betrayed his trust. We
may gather from Ids writings a literature, which
neither unholy passions, nor sceptical specula
tions, have poisoned. We may fearlessly yield
ourselves to his fascination, and taste a pleasure
which will soothe without intoxicating. We may
render our highest admiration to his poetic strains,
while we need worship no idol of his fancy ; and
while his productions are free from such banoful
influences, they are radiant with beauties, which
secured their immortality.
Many with few accomplishments jn letters, have
shone witti great lustre by the mere force of their
genius, yet rarely have such men aided in promo
ting the advancement of literature. Its improve
ments have been chiefly due to men of extensive
erudition. This speaks to the praise of Goldsmith,
for without extraordinary research, by his genius
alone he greatly adorned and enriched the litera
ture of England. With an ease and simplicity of
style which are the last attainments of art, with a
pathos and elevation of feeling which are breathed
only by gifted spirits, there is in his writings a
power which never failsjo take possession of the
heart. To enter the sphere of his charms is to be
captivated without resistance.
Like all great poets he loved nature with an un
dying passion : but he loved her in her beauty,
rather than in her sublimity, and either viewed
with ecstacy her sweet and placid repose, or cour
ted her with pensive enthusiasm in the desolation
of a "Deserted village." Nor does he address
the imagination alone; with irresistible power he
carries nature home to the heart. He deeply im
bibed her delicious enchantments, and described
them with a poets eloquence.
TJie gifts of Heaven are adapted to the diversi
fied wants of man. Thus it is with respect to
those master spirits who are clothed with uncom
mon powers of affecting our happiness. Some
are possessed of a strength of intellect which qual
ifies them for wielding the weapons of argument
against the enemies of truth. Others are capable
by the exercise of more biilliant powers, of adding
to the wholesome refinement of society. It is the
lot of Goldsmith to belong to the latter class, and
in it, he enjoys a princely eminence.
In reflecting that he was a native of oppressed,
and unhappy Ireland, we cannot but regard him
with increased interest, and wonder at the genius
which under such adverse circumstances, could
burst forth to shine with a brilliancy which has
astonished the world. Born in a land of peculiar
virtues, he seemed to unite all the generous quali
ties of his countrymen. The humanity of his dispo
sition, the unaffected simplicity of his heart, and
his acute sensibility were conspicuous on oc
casions. He delighted in the scenes which the life of a
traveller affords, and we find him at an early age
gratafyitig this impulse of his nature. There is
perhaps no event in his life, which invests him
with more interest than this. We cannot read of
his solitary wanderings through cities and villages,
at one time entertained at the palace of the rich,
and at another seeking hospitality at the cottage
of the peasant; now attracting attention by his
philosophical disputes, and now delighting the ear
with the melodious strains of his flute, without be
ing reminded of some strange romance. We re
gard with interest a great poet, going forth to range
over the earth, gazing with rapture upon .the splen
did monuments of antiquity, or enjoying the sweets
of society equally in the wild solitudes of nature,
as in the magnificence of art. Mankind havo reaped
the fruits of his wanderings in his "Traveller,"
which fike a beautiful panorama, presents a pros
pect of universal society, drawn by the experienced
hand of a "Citizen of the World."
The faults of Goldsmith were so combined with
the sweetest virtues, that to look upon them is to
forive them. Though we may lament the frail-
lies, we cannot despise the man. We may justly
regard him as one of those exceedingly rare and
attractive characters whom we love without de-
siring to imitate.

This famous-individual has been giving hisouon
dam friends ofthe Locoioco party in Wayne coun
ty in general, and Old Shiad? m particular, an
other ' halchciiing,' as he calls it. After giving
a round to those who have abused him for his for
mer Manifesto, and a severe hit at the present
editors of the Honesdale Herald, which he used to
publish, he exults that lie -finds many of his ola
Loco friends ' ready and eager to go m for Gen.
Taylor, Whig or no Whig, for the PresidencS,
notwithstandrng the attempts made -by 'the ultra
leaders at Washington and elsewhere to dim his
renown and disparage his services by open and
implied -censures, &c. But the latter part of this
manifesto is the richest, as follows ?
l But, the strangest, most ridiculous, and sturdy
piece of duplicity, fraud and deception, is the late
attempt of Francis R, Shunk and his friends,
claiming after the demonstrations at Washington,
and by the Locofoco Press generally, towards
Gen. Taylor, political affinity, unity of sentiment
&c, with the old Whig Hero of Buena Vista I
Shunk and his friends probably feel as though
they want to get hold of something that never goes
to the bottom, in their present drowning condition!
else -why do they seize hold of Old Zack 1 a
known Whig a Clay Whig, they say.' Shunk
& Taylor!' quotha? That's the good cry is itv
for this campaign, that is to save Old Shunk this
time ! See proceedings of Shunk meeting at Bed
ford, Pa. got up by Shunk's Adj. General Bow
man.' Shunk & Taylor !' bah ! that won't go
down in these parts : you might as well cry Tay
lor and a Cabbage Head here to get votes for Old
Shunk. Let the people beware how they arc gam
moned by the cry of Shunk & Taylor. Shunk
and his whole faction are heart and soul enemies
of Gen. Taylor : thoy are hound by the strongest
of all ties community of plunder! to this Admin
istration, and dare not offend it by coming out for
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency this year or next
year: they know too well which side their bread is
buttered on for that : they may, and will probably,
'by permission,' for this campaign only, couple
Old Shunk with Gen. Taylor, to make the former
go in Pa., the same as they coupled Polk with a
Protective Tariff aye, with the Tariff of 1842 !
to make him go in Pa. in 1841. But they can't
come it this time : they have got to stand on their
own bottom, or go down.
By the way, it may not be improper to ask here,
what has become of the giant locofocos who car
ried Okl Shunk through the deep xoatcrs of 1844,
and safely seated him where he is Where are
the Porters, the Gamerons, the Eldreds, the Lew
is's &c. &c, that Old Shunk and his friends thus
begin to call in the aid of a popular Whig Gener
al to bear him through this time 1 I will not say
that all or either of the above named gentlemen,
who secured the nomination and election of Old
Shunk in 1844, are against him now, but he evi
dently feels guilty of having done that to them and
their friends which would justly forfeit their friend
ship aud support in this campaign. I know that
some of them at least, ' hate ingratitude more in a
man than lying vainness, babbling, drunkenness,
or any taint of vice, whose strong corruption in
habits our frail blood-' Let the friends of Judge
Eldred in this county muster charity and magna
nimity enough if they can, to vote for Old Shunk,
I can't for one. I am besides opposed to his elec
tion on principle : it is dangerous to- elect such
weak minded, men to office a second time ; even
if honest himself, he by failing, as he has and must,
into the hands of a corrupt clique of cunning- de-
maoojrues like Jesse Miller, can have nothing but j
a corrupt Administration, more corrupt than ever
in a second term, from fearlessness of rebuke and
visitation from the people from the Ballot-Box,
knowing a third term is out ofthe question, being
against our constitution. In addition to some
reasons of a private nature given in my last, I add
some of more importance. Shunk is dishonset
politically : he has given pledges that he never re
deemed. ' He is non-committal on the Tariff ques
tion and Wilmot Proviso ; he is destitute of deci
sion of character and a mind of his own ; he has
proscribed the friends of Muhlenburg and Eldred
from all participation in the patronage, favors and
counsels of his Administration, and thus with the
aid of Jesse Miller, has divided, broken up, and
almost disbanded the great, once firmly united
party that carried him into office in 1844, and i
for one think it no more than even handed justice
to give him and Jesse a touch of ' proscription pro
scribed,'' next fall J L A.

A New Sonrcc for Supplying Bttlter.
A physician in New York mentions in a com
munication the result of some experiments, in
which, by the aid of analysis, butter was found in
n nm-P stntp. in frrasses. seeds and errain. Out of
M. J'. W - J Q t W
one hundred weight of Indian corn meal, ior in
stance, a good chemist can extract from eight to
ten pounds of butter.
" It has furthermore been proved, that butter
obtained from the cream of milk, is not animal se
cretions, but that it previously existed, in the pure
and original state, in the hay or food of the cow ;
and a skilful chemist can make more butter out of
one hundred weight of hay than a cow can, as the
cow must appropriate a considerably share of it
for the uses and necessities of her organization
Give a cow a hundred pounds of hay, and she will
render back eight pounds of butter, but an expert
chemist can realize twelve or thirteen pounds out
of it."
The next lime that butter reaches fifty cents, we
have no doubt that a company will be started to
extract it, fresh every morning, from hay and corn.

will no doubt halt until joined by Geu. Pillow,
who has 1800 men. The two detachments
joined will no doubt be able to force their way
io Gen. Scott's Headquarters.
The Mexican Congress had postponed l ho
election of President to the 25th of November,
and made Santa Anna Dictator. The prepara
tions for a defence of the Capital were of the
most thorough character, and it was the intfniion
to attack Gen. Scott at three diUcreni points on
the road.
Mr. Kendall writes to the Picayune, under
date of Pucbla, June 14th, that tin? prospects
of peace are further off than ever, and that the
government will be compelled to take posses
sion of the country, and govern it too.
The Picayune with regard to this news,
says : " The news by the New Orleans is the
most serious and consistent that we have re
ceived for weeks. It is now no longer doubt
ful that Gen. Scott's march upon the Capital
will be disputed with no inconsiderable deter
mination for Mexicans. The Guerillas :oo4 are
becoming bolder in their attacks upon bodies of
men moving along the road. Indications of a
battle are evident on every side."
LATER. We have news via New Orleans,
from the city of Mexico, to the 12th uit. The
substance of it is that all the Mexican papers
are in favor of continuing the war ; Santa An
na was not proclaimed Dictator ; Congress met
at the capitol on the lOih ; a largo body of guer
illas, well armed and equipped, had been organ
ized in tho vicinty of San Louis Putosi ; one
Mexican paper had information that Gen. Seott
would not move unon the Capitol before six
weeks from the 10th of June another that he
would slart between the loth and 20th ; Gen.
Scoit was not considered to be in any great dan
ger. All the news we have from the seat of war for
some time is so vague and unsatisfactory; that
little interest attaches to it.
There was no prospect of Gen. Taylor's ad
vance on San Louis, at last accounts.
A Mexican who had been despatched by
Captain Bankhead to Camargo with a commu-
nination for Col. Belknap, bad been captureu
hv a party of his own countrymen and senten
ced to be shot.
Gen Urrea had not made his appearance yet,
houoh the Texan Rangers were in diligent
search for him. They had captured two rob
bers, one of whom was shot.
Kendall, in a letter from Puebla, under date
of June 7th, says :
" The gratifying intelligence has also been
brought thai large reinforcements for Gen. Scott
are on the way, although it is a great pity they
were not sent sooner. But so it has always
been ever since this war with Mexiso commen
ced every movement has been too tardy, and
procrastination has given the Mexicans, after
every defeat, an opportunity to recover from the
shock, and prepare for fresh resistance. Who
will deny that General bcoti, had he had even
12,000 available men and a sufficiency of trans
portation, would not at this moment have been
in ihe city of Mexico, and very likely without
oven a skirmish 1 No one in his senses can
dispute it. The fault lies not at the door, eith
er of General Scott or General 1 aylor that they
have not been in a situation to follow up their
successes."
Again, he complains that the authorities at
Washington, have not discharged their duly,
and he adds:
"Our generals are cramped for want of men
their hands are tied for want of means--this is
notorious. In a letter I wrote from Jalapa,- and
which 1 am fearful fell into tho hands of tho
guerrillas, the quotation 'England expects eve
ry man to do his duty' was used with the addi j
lion that the United -Stairs cxpecis every rr,an
to do more. Does it nut serin so? Tho march
of 51)00 or 6000. men hundreds of rovies into the
heart of a country occupied by 8;000,000 peo
ple, will read like a romance in after limes.!
The entrance of Gen. Worih into this noted
and populous city, with his mere handful of
men, has had no parallel since the days of Cor
tes." All ibis is true to the loiter. Our govern
ment has been shamefully remiss from the first.
