The present number of our paper concludes the eighth volume of the Jeffersonian Republican. It also brings to a close the seventh year of our con nection with it as Editor and Publisher. It customary, in almost every business, at the end of the year, to overhaul the books, settle up ac-, -counts, pay off old scores, and( begin the new year on- a new scale, Instead of squaring up with us at the end of the year, however, upon looking over oar books, we see that seven years have gone by and that a great many of our subscribers have not yet paid us a cent on their accounts. Most of the others owe us for two years very few having paid up the full- amount of their subscriptions. To them, individually, the amounts aTe small, but to us-collectively, they are large. Iii consequence of the irregularity of payment by our subscribers, we have often been put to great inconvenience during the last six years. We hope our subscri bers will'see the necessity of complying with this appeal, and a? once put an end to our cause of fiomplaint. Isi-fact it is absolutely necessary that all our claims should-be settled. We are making arrangements which-positively demand it.

From all with wrfom we have conversed ;1in relation-thereto, we hear but one account, and- ?hat is, the-crops-were never known to- be better, the heads being' heavy and well filled.

R. Shunk, Governor of. this State, died burg on Sunday last. It has been represented to us that Gen. CsSs is worth a million and a quarter of dollars. It is nothing to us whether he is worth one dollar or one million, but to loco-foco editors and orators, who opposed Gen. Iotin on account of his alleged Wealth, it is a matter of great importance". Of course they will take measures to ascertain the fact, and if it be such as is represented, they will, like consistent, honest patriots, as they are, aban don him to the support of the millionaires, silk- stocking gently, and others, with whom they of course have no sympathy. To doubt this would be to question their sincerity and candor. Theie is another class that will abandon Cass th6se who have such a holy horror of Federalism and Federalists. The fact of his having worn the Mack cockade will cause those consistent poli ticians, the burden of whose song is fear and ha tred, of everything Federal, to leave him to his fate.

The loco-focos of Reading erected a pole in that city, on the 24th ult., and in order to raise an ex citement against the Whigs, had it cut down the same evening ! They then charged the Whigs with committing the outrage against the " democracy," and the loco-foco presses pretend to see in this the sad condition to which they would be reduced if the Whigs succeed in obtaining power. The press of that place says "jieither our lives, our. liberty, nor our property would be safe," and " violence and death upon the scaffold, and outrages such as have been visited upon the heads of Tell, O'Con nell, Emmett and John Mitchell, would be the or der of the day." The Pennsylvanian copies this vile plander upon the Whigs, with the cool remark, " This is helping Berks to roll up six thousand for Cass and Butler. 'T Now, the editor of the Pennsylvanian knows this to be the vilest slander upon the Whigs that ever was perpetrated by any party, and yet,.be cause it is " helping Cass and Butler, he lends- his aid in this infamous scheme.

The North American clearly don't know its' . or it would know that the Pennsylva nian is not ashamed to publish anything, especial ly where a hope may be entertained that a vote will be made by it. The $1500 a year consider ation which controls the patriotism of the Penn sylvanian, would impel it to thrust a shaft into the living body, with as little compunction- as it has opened the new niade grave, and oyer its names glut' its, instincts with ribald jests. --iifr- 2?fiiroe County Court. commenced in this place on Monday last, owing to the unseasonable time for holding the -it being in-the midst of harvest there will few cases-tried at this term.

"Old Whitey Clear the Track !" The Nashville Whig, upon hearing the nomi nation of Cass and Butler by the Baltimore Con vention, thus speaks: Fetch out old lWhiey Fetch him Out!' We heard from him recently, and he was in tip-top condition 'standing straight on his pasterns, and bearing on the bit." "He paweth in the valley, and rejqiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the armed men. "He mocketh- at fear, and is not- affrighted i neither turneth he back- from the sword. "The quiver rattleth' against him,, the glittering spear and the shield. "He sayeth among the-trumpets, Ha !

Gen: Taylor in New-York -The whig of the ciiy"of New-Yof k to; the number of i wen ty thousand',, held a- meeting, on- the 27'h-uh., to ratify the nommaion of Taylor and'FiHioore. the Whig National Convention, and especially for its servile abandonment of all principles in the se lection of Geri. Taylor'. The Carlisle' Herald thus explodes the story : Now we stand ready to PROVE 'that all this has been done without Mr. Katz's knowledge or consent ! We can prove by credible witnesses that he has publfcly denied that he wrote any such letter or authorized it, and that he offers 25 to any man who will produce such letters with his signa ture! The whole thing is gammon, and nothing else . Th'e Cass me'ri are almost driven to desperation, by the divisions and distractions in their own ranks, and they resort to such miserable shifts as this to impress their party with the belief that the whijs are in the same predicament. But the trick is too silly to take, and all such attempts will .only re coil upon them with redoubled force. Let "them look to the dissensions in their own ranks in New York, all the Eastern and Western States, and in the old Keystone too, and they will see " the hand writing on the wall." If they could produce a thousand declensions of whigs, it would be no re demption for them. We could safely produce six from Cass tb every one they can produce from Taylor. I'heir doom is sealed. The people have decreed it. Tlirilliag; Incident. In the course of the Hon. W. R. Thompson's remarks at the Baltimore ratification meeting, the other night, he asked : 4 What has old Zach done ?" Here a voice in the crowd replied : Honest Sentiments. Something like a year ago, the Locofocos of Sussex: County, N. J., (not a few hangers on, but the real leaders and masses of the party, and the party paper,) went in for Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. They held a county meeting, and is sued an address setting forth their "reasons for the faith that was in them." "Gen. Taylor,'.' says the Address, "has been, during his whole life, attached to the army, and we cannot, therefore, point to his votes and speeches as evidence of his political opin ions ; nay, we do not claim that he is deeply versed in the political games which have been so long played at the Capitol 'f but we put him forth nevertheless as a Man ofthe People, whose daily walk is a standing pledge that he will guard their interests and maintain their riglns ; his plain and simple habits ; his home ly bearing; his modest depoltment ; his care ofthe poor soldier ; his humane conduct towards the enemy; his power over the masses; are all indications not to be mistaken of the character of his mind, and are stronger pledges of his ad herence to the popular will than either speeches or pretentions. 'We are not desirous to identify him with the exciting questions of past political conflicts, or draw him into the arena of party strife ; but that he is a democrat in the best sense ofthe term, no man who has watched his career can for a moment doubt. " We have the highest assurance, then, that whatever new questions may arise, Gen'. Taylor,- if elected President, will always consult thff good of the great body of the people ; that his habits, his mode of living, and his princi ples, attach him to the masses, and that he is indissolubly connected with the great popular party of the country. His firmneas ; his deci sion of character ; his successful management of men ; hissprendid achievements on the field' of battle :- his brief and finished despatches ; ail indicate intellectual (acuhios of the higest order and seem to' point him out as a person well fitted'to take the helm of state. We there fore raise the banner of 'ROtfGH AND REA- If DY,' and present to the democracy ofthe state and nation Gen..Zachary Taylor aa-our favorite candidate for the Presidency.'' Important from Gen. Taylor'. Charleston, Monday, July 3d. The following statement appears in the New Orleans Picayune : " We are authorized by General Taylor to say, that the- course of the Louisiana Delega tion in the Whig National- Convention at Phil adelphia,-meets his entire,, full and unequivocal approbation.

We need no commepdations for Gen. Tay lor, but those which were brought forward by the locos before they thought he would be adopted as the Whig candidate. We give a few examples-. The following resolution was passed at a Democratic meeting in Lafayette, JY' J, about a year since : "His firmness ; decision of character ;' hrs successful management of men ;: his splendid achievements on-the field of battle; his, brief and finiehed-dispatches; qll indicate intellectual faculties of the highest order, and seem' to point him out as- ar person well fitted to take the helm of State." 'Again, the following resolution1 was passed at the Hope, N. J-. Democraiic meeting,. June, 1847 "Resolved, That with ff full . reliance on the ability integrity, virtue" and patriotism of Gen. Zachary Taylor, and his fitness toAischarge the responsible duties of the Chief Magistracy of our Republic, we cheerfully respond to his nomi nation by our Democratic brelhern in oilier parts of the state, as a suitable candidate ofthe people for the highest office in their gift." A correspondent of the New Orleans Cres cent' says that Riley, 'and-all the San Patricio prisoners, were released in the city of Mexico. Theise are the rascals w ho-deserted1 the Amer ican ilag. Riley, they hayaspiteij to a geu eraUhip' in- the- Mexican aiuiy T ago I stopped at Gen. Taylor's house, and he re cevied me in the most cordial manner ; gave me a comfortable meel and a good feather-bed to sleep on, and in the morning ten dollars to pursue my journey with." Mr. T. then inquired of the person speaking who he was : to which he replied that he was a wounded soldier on his return from the army in Mexico. This iricident created great enthusiasm among the crowd of listenprs, and was the pre lude to the mention of various anecdotes by Mr. T. illustrative of the goodness f heart and kind feelings of Gen. Baylor. Vote of the Volunteers. 'Tho Louisville Jouruaf says the Mississippi rHtjunet, numbering about 300, came up frum New Orleans on the steamer Gen. Lalayette. At Baton Rouge they found Gmv. Taylor upon the wharf and 'gave htm three tremendous cheers. The' whole might of their imms was virreaked upon the effort. One of the best knovvn and most respectable gentlemen of the Stale, who came up on the Lalayetieinformed the Journal editors that he made it nis buisi nCss to go among the ofii.cers and men of the regiment and to make inquiries as to their votes upon the Presidential question, and that he did not find a solitary man among them all who did j not avow a determination to vote for General 1 1 ay lor. Cass Aasd Taylor. A gentleman who came over the Reading Railroad, from Philadelphia, on Wednesday last, slates that it was agreed, among the pas sengers in car No. 1, to interchange their sentiments With regard to the candidate for the Presidency. A committee was appointed, and it. was found that General Taylor, much to the surprise of the Locofoco passengers, had a majority of ten over all others. A Cass man from this Borough, after the above result had been declared, offered to- bet five dollars that, in car No. 2, this difference would be overcome by a majority in favor of Gen. Cass. The bet was accepted, and the result exhibited : For General Taylor, 19 " Van Buren, 4 " Gen. Cass,' 2! Such results as these indicate, unmistakably, the feeling prevailing among the mass of the people.

The expenses ofthe war with Mexico and the pur chase of worthless territory will be a hundred and seventy millions of dollars. This amount in silrer placed in two-horse wagons, a thousand pounds to each wagon, would fill ten thousand six hundred and twenty-five wagons, which would make a dense' train extending sixty-six miles ; money enough to educate all the chil dren of country, and liqidate all the state debts, and clean out every harbor, and chequered the United States, with railroads and canals. And then there would have been enough left to purchase all the teritory which we have ac quired. The New Orleans Delta contains the follow ng account of a marriage in Mexico, one of the parties to which was a Philadelphian : Mar ried, in Tampico, Mexico,, on the 20ih May last, by the Rev. Mr. McCrea, of Tennessee, Alfred Day, Esq., of the Pay Department, of that place, to Isabel L. Andrade, daughter of Joseph Edwards, Esq., of Philadelphia, decea sed. This being the first solemnization of mar riage in Mexico, where the parties were all Americans, created no little wonder among the Catholics, to whom such a ceremony seemed extraordinary. The occasion was honored, and graced by the presence ofGm'emor Galea and lady, Colonel de Russy and lady, Colonel Marks, ihe Quartermaster, the Paymaster, the Chief of the Medical Department, and a numer ous coterie of ladies and gentlemen, friends of the parties. The evening passed off with the utmost hilarity, and all wen "merry as a mar riage bell."

It was one day during the present week that two boys, sons of Seth Manes, of Bradford township, in this country, one perhaps fifteen and the other not over eight or ten years of age, discovered a very large bear carrying a sheep through one of the fields. The oldest boy ran to the house, got a gun, gave chase-, and on coming up to it, shot, and wounded iijin the nose. He then commenced reloading his gun, and whilst he was doing so, his little brother ran forwards or by some means (the particulars we did not ieain) became engaged with the bear. The older brother then ran to the relief of the little fellow, and when he reached him received a stroke from the bear on the arm, which knocked him down, and the three rolled togeth er, gun and all. Presently the older brother got loose, pulled the gun from under the bear,, and whilst it was holding the child in its arms, deliberately shot it dead. The foregoing is the story precisely as ft was told to us. That it may vary in, some tri fling particular, or be but partially 'old, is prob able ; but that it is correct in the main them no doubt.
