Great Whig Mass Meeting.
A 3Iass meeting of the friends of'Scott
and Graham, wasMicld at Harrisburg, on
Frida' last, the 20th inst., the anniversa
of the battle of Churubusco. The meet
ing was organized at 2 o'clock. Gen.
William II. Irwin, of Lewistown, who
served with distinction under Gen. Scott,
in Mexico, was made President, and a
large number of Vice Presidents and
Secretaries were appointed. General Ir
win made an excellent speech on taking
the chair, and was followed by Judge
Conrad of Philadelphia, Judge Johnson,
of Ohio, Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky,
and Mr. Sevier, of Louisiana. Five bands
of music and an excellent glee club ad
ded to the interest of the occasion.
A series of resolutions breathing the
true "Whig spirit, were adopted by accla
mation. In the evening another meeting was
held at the Court House, which was crow
ded to suffocation. Mr. Merrick, of Bal
timore, and others, addressed the multi
tude. Escape of Prisoners.
The Carbon Count7 Gazette, says two
prisoners escaped from the Jail at Mauch
Chunk, on Monday night, the 10th inst.,
one being confined for passing counterfeit
money, the other for breaking open Gould's
Store, at Hickory Hun.
iSf Thompsons' Dank Note Reporter
warns all persons to beware of notes al

The Farmers' Bank at Freebold,

not being sufficient to sustain it, under the

Old lYortliiiiiiploii Awake.
Our Whigs Friends in Northampton
are fully aroused to the importance of the
present contest. They had a grand rally
at Easton on Tuesday, 17th inst. David 13.
Hazen. Esq., presided, and was assisstcd
by a number of Vice Presidents. A series
of excellent resolutions were adopted,and
speeches made by Samuel L. Cooley, H.

The Court of Oyer and Terminer and
General Jail Delivery of the Quarter Ses- J
sions, August Term, opened on Monday,
lGth inst., with the case of the Common
icltcaltli vs. Barnct Andrews, on the indict
ment found against him by the Grand
J ury, at the April term for committing
felonious homicide upon the person of his
wife Mary.
The case is now ended, and we have
the result of their verdict, which is rnur-
dcr of.the second degree: The Counsel
both for the Commonwealth and thc pris-
oner conducted their cause with ability.-
The prisoner's Counsel did not ask for his j
acquittal, but merely that which was due
mm. xnere was no aenymg the lacts al- :
leged against him, for he confessed the
deed; yet the Jury looked upon the case
as one highly aggravated, -being done in
the heat of passion.
The Judge's charge to the jury leaned
to the side of jnercy, and mercy w,as
obtained, giving the prisoner time and
space for his repentance. He will, how
ever, be sentenced to solitary confinement
at, hard labor, for a erm of time not less
than four nor more than twelve years; but
it is quite probable that it will not be less
than the full extent of the law. Easton

Dreadful Casualily.
' We bare accounts of a dreadful loss of
life -on Lake. .Erie, by the collision of two
steamers, in a dense, fog. Two 'hwidrcd
'persons, it is estimated, have found a wa

; cideut happened on Friday morning last,
at 2 o'clock. The steamer Atlantic and
the propeller Ogdcnsburg came in collis
. off Eric, in a thick fog, and the former
sunk within half an hour. She had a
very large number of passengers onboard,Las Franklin Pierce who in my opinion, is

'f The. .Cambridge (Ind.) Keville publish
es .the card of' four persons'' who have re
nounced Locofocoism, and'have determin
ed to vote-for General Scott. The last
one on the list conies to the following con
clusion :
I have" heretofore acted with the Dem
ocratic party ; but when I see that party
put down such men as General Cass, Bu
chanan, Douglas, &c, and take up such
far inferior in every respect, and one who
has shown himself to be. opposed to West
ern interests by his votes in Congress,
I cannot lend my support to such a;man.
I may here say that quite a number of my
Democratic friends will vote with me for
General Scott. T am yours, &c.

Outfor. Scplt.Gox. Lucas, formerly
the Locofoco Governor of Ohio, and now
of Iowa, has taken the stump for Scott
and Graham.

Capt. Samuel Thompson, of Fremont,
Ohio, who was in thc battles of Chippe
wa and Landy'sLane, the marks of which
he "bears about his body," has recanted
his Democratic tenets, and become a zeal
ous Scott man. So they keep coming.
How it Works. Ex-Senator Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, madeaviolentspeech
in Memphis, Tenn., the other day, against
General Scott. The Memphis Eagle and
Enquirer says :
" Since Colonel Jefferson Davis-made
his speech in this city, W'e understand
that forty or fifty Democrats have declar

Graham'

don't know where they stand, nor to

acquainted; anu my people, wno nafi an
opportunity of seeing and becoming well
acquainted with the great war chief
(General Winfield Scott,) who made U,
; last,-, treaty witn tnem, in conjunct a
I with thc great cliief of Illinois (Governor
Reynolds), all tell me that lie is thc
est brave they ever saw, and a good man
one who fulfils all his promises. Our
braves speak more highly of him than any
chief that has ever been among us. What
ever he says may be depended upon: 1.
he had been our Great Father, we new:
would have been compelled to join tii
Rritisly in the late war with America.
And I have thought that, as our Great
Father is changed every few years, thv
his children would do well to put tiii
great war chief in his place, as they can
not find a better chief for a Great Father
anywhere."
These are the sentiments of a wani-r
and a patriot, a chief of distinguiahi-1
rank,' of keen sagacity, if not of prophet!
vision. And we trust that the wish h.
expressed twenty years ago will find a
rcspoue in every American heart. AY
We notice by thc Potter, Pa. Unroi.
that Hon. David Wilmot, the father of tin
Proviso, lately addressed the Young 3h n"
Democratic Club at Coudersport, on whi' h
occasion he expressed himself well satl
fied with the nomination of Pierce and
Kinrr, and declared his determination t
give-them his cordial support. So will
every honest Democrat in thc country, ii"
matter what has been his past position.
Wilmot, the father of the proviso, giv
Pierce and King his hearty and corJial
support; and so do M. Van, Buren, Priwv
John, and their Freesoil and Aboliti i
followers. The Democratic Press rejoice-
at this, and calls upon good Denioi-rat-everywhere
to follow their example, i:
matter what ma have been their pa.-t po
sition. Hear them harp on another string.
Messrs. Seward k Greeley support Se -ts
& Graham ; it is urged that Scott will b
led by them that the country is in emi
nent danger that the rights of the Stat -will
not be regarded, and that the Const!
tutiou itsejf will be blotted out. Why a'l
this will follow in the one case and not ii.
the other, we arc not able to comprehend.
If it is fair to suppose that Scott will be
led by Seward and Greeley, it is equally
fair to say that Pierce will be led U
Prince John and his. Freesoil associate
We apprehend that the" American pcop!
can think and reason for themselves, arr!
we are sure they understaiul thc rea-
of this false alarm.
