Somerset (N. J.) Whig, as the successor of Mr.
Baldwin, recently deceased. Mr. Wilson is of the'
old democratic stock of New Jersey, and a sound
Whig ; and we are pleased to find the field of his
editerial labors changed from Warren, which is
buried up in Locofocoism, to the good old county
of Somerset, that never" yet has failed to stand by
the standard of sound principles. Mr. W. is a
vigoious Avriter, and will do good service in the

Adilres's'bf the Whig $tate bentral Committee
Ratifying -the Nominations.
Whigs -of Pennsylvania ! Your State CeiUreal
Committee appointed by the Whig State Conven
tion of March 15, 1848, find tbeir .first official duty
to be, thlt of announcing to you the nomination,
by the Philadelphia National Contention of Gen.
Zacharv Taylor of Louisannai for next President-,
aijjd of the Hon. Millard Filmofe, of New York,
for next Vice Presidet, of this great Union. Hav
ing consented to the Convention which made these
nominations, as a measure necessary to secure
that concentration and unanimity of action so re
quisite to success having participated in its de
liberations by our, delegates regularly arid fairly
chousen having by such participation bound our
selves as a Party, as Whigs, as individuals, to abide
by and support its decision, your Committee feel
'authorized, under these circumstances, and in con
sequence of the noble and unanimous response
which greets this ticket in every county of our
great Commonwealth, to declate to our political
brethren in other States, that the Whigs of Penn
sylvania, with one universal acclaim, ratify the
nominations and will record that ratification on
the 7th of November next in the most emphatic
manner, by giving the electoral vote of the Old
Keystone for Taylor and Fillmore, without per
adventure and without fail.
Whigs of Pennsylvania ! In announcing these
nominations, and your cordial assent to them, your
committee are well aware, that a rilajority of vou
probably cherished as your first choice for Chief
Magistrate, that other gallant soldier who from
Canada to the gates of Mexico, for forty years, by
a series of victorious deeds, has shed a hald of
glory over the American arms. Your committee
also know that thousands of you hoped again to
battle under that true-hearted civiliian whdse
" white plume" so often has been the guiding sig
nal for Whigs in many a well stricken political
field. Your enthusiastic assent to the nominations,
therefore, is the more honorable to you'and is the
strongest evidence of your sense of the high claims,
the moral fitness, sterling character and sound
piinciples of the nominees. 01 General Taylor it
is not necessary for us to speak. His deeds have
engraved his name on the heart of every Ameri
can citizen for it is the name of the Hero around
whose brow played the golden sun of Palo Alto
and Resaca, and whose form was enveloped in the
lightning blaze of Monterey and Buena Vista.
Whigs of Pennsylvania I If you but do your
duty in the ensuing contest, the election of Gen
eral Taylor is not, for one instant, doubtful. But
it is right to warn you that you have a subtle, un
tiring enemy opposed to you, who, already in pos
session of the public offices of the nation, will
struggle the more desperately to retain them. To
conquer this well trained veteran band, you must
be THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED in every elec
tion district in the Commonwealth, in such a man
ner as will leave no hope to our opponents of over
coming our superior; ' numbers by their superior
discipline. The Committee have had this matter
under careful consideration, and have concluded
to make the following recommendations :
1st. that oirthe coming 4th of July ,l theF'riends
of General Taylor" unite in the different coun
ties, townships, or boroughs, to celebrate' the birth
day of our Nation, iq the usual, ot any appropriate
manner, at which songs may be sung, toasts ex
pressive of the sentiments of the people read, and
speeches delivered in exposition of the life,- char
acter and principles of our candidates.
2nd. That as soon- as possible,- an organiza
tion in each county should be commenced ; not
only in boroughs and townships, but in School
Districts, by means of Committees of intelligent
men ; and that whenever practicable. Rough and
Ready Clubs should be formed ; and every effort
made through them to circulate Newspapers and
documents to inspirit, to confirm, or to inform.
For the present.,insteadof Mass Meetings, your
Committee would advise popular Taylor Meetings
in townships and small districts, at which those
who are able to address-the people,- should make
it a point to be present. " '
3rd. The subject-of holding-great Mass Meet
ings, the Committee have now under consideration,
and are constantly engaged in- correspondence' in
relation thereto Asit is desirable there' should be
no clashing hr the times fixed for holding Mass
Meetings, it is requested that whenever such a
meeting is contemplated the proposers of it advise
with this Committee, through, its Chairman at Har
risburg, in regard to the proper time and place of
holding it. y
With these brief recommendations-, the Commit
tee submit the matter to the People. They are
impressed with the conviction, that an efficient or
ganization' upon-the part of the FRIENDS OF TAYLOR
and FiLLiroKEj is all that is, requisite to carry
Pennsylvania, by a majority of from 18 to 20,
000. Already the evidences of cordial unanimty
of feelh)guf enthusiastic devotion to the Whig
cause, as embodied in1 the nominees of the Con
vention, of zealous and vigorous determination to
rescue the country from its piesent vicious admin
istiation, or those who would pursue a similar pol
icy are numerous and overwhelming as they are
most inspiriting. The Whig party of Pennsylva
nia will present a united, a determined, and a
victorious front, in theensueing contest. Already
the fire-of victory lights every Whig eye1 the glo
ry of approaching triumph gladdens every Whig
countenance and our opponents redd in the one
and io the other the handwriting of their defeat.

New York Barnburners. This branch of the
Locofoco party held a Convention at Utica on
the 22d inst. The preliminary proceedings
occupied the chief part of the day. Many letters
were received from distinguished members of the
party, among them one from Martin Van BurenJ
in which he announced his determination previ
ously expressed in 1844,- to retire from political
life, to be unchanged. He declined a nomination.
He levieWed the' proceedings of the Baltimore
Convention. He declared that all the barnburn
ers did was perfectly right. He exhorts them to
persevere and make a separate nomination. He
recommends firmness. His letter throughout is
decided and emphatic, and in favor Of free territo
ry principles.
He quoted eleven acts of Congress in support
of his argument, embracing the administrations of
Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, the elder Adams,
Madison, Jackson, and his own. He declared
that he could not vote for Gen. Cass, or Gen. Tay
lor, that the extension of slavery was a moral
curse. '
On the 23d a riumbef of telegraph despatches
and letters, to the President and others, were re
ceived and read. AmOng th'e letters were some
from Illinois, numerously signed ; one of them
closed as follows; ""We want Martin Van Buren
for our candidate. The' slave power broke" him
down in 1844 we will break that power down in
1848." Delegates are pouiing in from other States,
and speeches were delivered by several from- Con
necticut. A motion was made to nominate President' and
Vice President by a viva voce Votej but the motion
was amended, by recommending the nomination of
Mr. Van Buren by acclamation, Which was carried
amid unusual bursts of applause,-and without a
dissenting voice'.
Henry Dodge, the United States Senator from
Wisconsin, was then'nominated for the'Vice Pres
idency. No sooner were the' nominations announced than
a mass meeting assembled in- the street, which
was addressed by , Messrs. Washburn,; Harrison,
Gen. Nye, RathbunLand Bailey, of New York,
Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, Ex-Governor Morton, of
Massachusetts, and Delegates from Wisconsin,
Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio.
The resolutions and addresses Were read in the
Convention and unanimously adopted.
B. F. Boiler made a speech in Oorivehtion, ki
which he' declared that Mr. Van Buren cannot and
will not refuse to accept the nomination.
OlAor Conveniion.The Free Territory Mass
Convention of Ohio, the call for Which was said
to have" been signed by 3000 persons, was .held at
Columbus on the 22d inst. It consisted of Loco
focos, Abolition Whigs, &c. The accounts we
find in all the papers, Whig and Loco, say there
were about 400 delegates present, who- adopted a
strong address and resolutions favoring a separate
organization: and a National Convention to meet
at Buffalo on the 9th of August, to nominate a Free
Territory candidate' for the Presidency.
An Ohio State Electoral Ticket was formed,
pledged to the support of the nominee of the Buf
falo Convention. No nomination for Governor
was made, so that the contest will remain between
Ford and Welier. The Convention resolved to
support none but Wflmot Proviso men for Con
gress or the Legislature.
The plan for the organization of the party, and
carrying on the campaign were then read, and
considered and approved of5 after which the Con
ton adjourned sine die. '

,rThe Unipngnd other Cass organs seem extreme
ly anxious to make a little capital for the Hero of
Indian Affairs and Extra Allowances by stating
.that two, aye,- two,, gentlemen in Carlisle, who
voted for Mr. Clay in 1844, now go for Cass. One
of these gentlemen, Gen. Foulke, is known to
have always been a leading locofoco ; and il he
vbted for Clay in1844, it must haVe been.by.so'me
mistake, for he never either before or since voted
for a Whig. The other gentleman having been a
standing candidate for office, before the "Wiiigs
without success, has probably wisely calculated
to try his chance with the Locos. A change of
bait, with the advantage of the lard oil halo which
surrounds the " fat man of Michigan," may prove
moire auspicious to his aspirations which we
shall by no means regret If the Cassites find
matter for exultation in such acquisitions, wo
have no objections. We will accept them as an
difWt for upwards of two hundred in this county

ready openly avowed their support of Taylor and
Fillmore, with Judge Bucher, the, distinguished
leader and Chairman of their State Committees

made a very good one in commendation of Gen.
Taylor. It does not prose Gen. Taylor the best
manTor President, but it shows tha-' he possesses
(as we always supposed) many sterling quali
ties. The following synopsis (we "have mi mom
for a fuller report) we take from the Pittsburgh
Gaxette .'Tribune.
General Taylor is a Whig. Thi, Mr.
Crittenden said, he declared from his own
knowledge. He is a Whig, a good Whis;, a
thorough Whig. I know him to be a Whis,
but not an ultra Whig. All his political feel
ings are identified with the Whig panyl t
Gen. Taylor is an Honest Man. On the
uprightness of Gen. Taylor's character, Mr.
Crittenden dwell with great earnestness, ai a
trait which he knew, and felt, and admired.
He said he was emphatically an honest man,
and he defied'the opponents of the old soldier
to bring aught against him, impeaching his up
rightness in all his transactions, during a
public life of forty years. His appearancn
and manners bear the impress of such sterling
honesty, that peculation, meanness, and rascal
ity are Irightened from his presence. Gen.
Twiees. who has been on hahils of intimatn
party in the North, has taken the stump for " Old personal intercourse with him, said to the speak
Rough and Ready," with .zeal and effect. er, lately, that there was not a man in the world.
Harrisburg Telegraph. J who had been in the company of Gen. Taylor
five minutes, who would dare to make an im
proper proposition to him. Dishonesty flees
from bis presence.
Gen. Taylor is a Man of Great Abili
ties. His whole military life gave evidence
of this. He never commuted a blunder or lost
a battle There is not another man in the ar-
, !my who would have fought the baule of Buena
Vista but Uen. laylor, and not anoiher who
would have won ii. Examine the whole his
tory of his exploits, in all their details and you
see the evidence of far reaching sagaciiy, and
great ability.

How fearfully is every idle attack rnadeagainst
the good and patriotic Harrison -in 1840,
turned against his maliguers who now support
Lewis Cass for the Presidency. It seems as
if a retributive justice were about to overtake
and overwhelm that parly which has made de
traction and falsification its stepping stones to
power, since its leaders first 'surrendered all

Adjutant General Bowman of this State, says
the North American, whose annual reports are
among the "curiosities of Literaturei" is regar
ded by the Pennsylvanian as a sort of oracle,
and his opinions are constantly quoted by that
journal as conclusive of the topics upon which
they are uttered. Now, without professing to
share in this feeling of admiration, we would
suggest to the Pennsylvanian to give its readers
the benefit of the following resolutions, presen
ted by the Adjutant at a locofoco meeting in
Bedford, on the 29th April, 1847, and adopted
according to the "Gazette" of that town "unani
mously with great enthusiasm."
Resolved, That General Taylor, is a man to
whom we are. wedded by all the ties that hind
true patriots to one another.
Resolved, That we will eer hold in grateful
remerhbrance Gen. Taylor, the Hefo of the
Mexican War, whom we consider one of the
greatest military Chieftains of this, or any oth
er ajje.
Resolved, That the Whig Party of Penn

of this brave old warrior for the Presidency,
are guihy of hypocricy that Satan himself would
be ashamed of, T,his vile faction have no
more, notion of nominating Gen. Taylor for the

Pennsylvanians, a man whose reputation for
truth and honor was proverbial, and whose
word was always the end of controversy, so
implicitly was it relied upon, Gen. Gibson had
told him'that he and Gen. Taylor had entered
the army nearly together, and have served to
gether almtwt constantly, until he, Gibson, re
tired, and that during that tune, they had sat to
gether on seventeen Court Martials, many of
them important and intricate ca.es, and in every
bingle instance, Zachary Taylor had been ap
pointed to draw up the opinion of the Court, a
briMiant testimony to his .superior abilities, and
ripe learning and practical knowledge.
Gen. TaylorIs Humanity and SiMPLffciTr
of Character. Gen.Tayloc i a plain, unas
suming, unostentatious, gentlamauly man.
There is no pride, no foppery, no airs about
him. He possesses the utmost fimplicity of
character. When in the army, he fared just
as his soldiers fared ate the same food slept
under his tent and underwent, similiar fatigue
for fifteen months in Mexico never sleeping in
a house one night. His humanity, kindness,
and simplicity of character, had won for him
the love of his soldiers. They could approach
him at all times. He never kept a guard around
his tent, or any pomp or parade. He trusted
his soldiers, and they trusted and loved him
in return. Not a drop of his soldiers' blood
was shed by him during the campaign. All the
blood shed under his direction was shed in bat
tle. We hear of no military executions no
judicial shedding of blood. His heart moved
.to human wo, and he was careful of the lives of
his soldiers, and humane to the erring and to
the vanquished foe. he is kind, noble, gen
erous in feeling, a friend of the masses ;
there'is no aristocracy about him ; he is a true
Democrat. He will adorn the White House,
and shed new light over the fading and false
Deaiicracy of the day, which has gone farin
to the sere and yellow leaf he will bring in-a
true, vigorous, verdant, refreshing Democracy.
Gen. Taylor proscribes no man for opi
nion's sake. He is a good and true Whig,
but he will pros'cribe no man for a difference
of opinion. He hates, loathes proscription.
He loves the free, independent utterance of
opinion. He has commanded Whigs and Dem
ocrats on ihe field of battle has witnessed
their patriotic devotion, and invincible courage,
whilst standing together, shouJei to sho.ulder
has seen them fight, bleed and die together ;
and God forbid he should proscribe any man
on account of a difference of political, senti
ments. He would 83 soon think, said the
speaker, of running from a Mexican !
General Taylor's Position. Some ob
ject, said the speakef , to Gen. Taylor, because
he is from ihe South, and is a slaveholder.
