WINPIELD SCOTT, - • the. great Captain of the ago, for the Presiden- Ojr, and his Excellency, IVM. F. JOHNSTON, • for Goiornor. The meeting was organized by the election a. of Major DANIEL WASRADAUGH of Bedford Township, President; Gen. Wm.

Bedford Bor ough, Secretaries. . A committee - was appointed to draft resolu tions; and duringlheirabsence the Convention was addressed by the Hon. AI.E.V. Kixq, and ttcos,-Esq.,-in-roview-of-all-the--pronoi nent questions of the day, and particularly in behalf of'.a Protective Tariff., with great` force and power. The cheering, says theluquirer, • was enthusiastic throughout theft. entiro•l speeches; but that which followed the'men ' tion of the names of SCOTT and JOHNSON, showed rho strong hold they both have upon the affection and •confidence of the people.— The resolutions approve of the course of. Mr. Fillmore; -and speak of his Cabinet in terms of the highest. , respect. In his intercourse with foreign nations, particularly, his admin istratiort is regarded as' eminently and stri kingly successful.. —The folloWing are the resolutions relating to to-the - nomination o? WIN= FIELD SCOTT - and WM. F.' JOHNSTON, re spectively, for the offices of President and - Governor, to wit: Resolved; That every passing year but adds strength to our convictions that a Protective -Tariff, with specific duties, is necessary for the . independence, prosperity, and happinesti of the people. • Hundreds of our furnaces and forges, and thousands of our looms and spindles un der the existing Tariff aro idld;''and the multi • Ludes who found profitable employment at these manufactories are now deprived of the opporl tunity to labor. A foreign debt for imported• merchan . dize which We should - have manufac tured ourselves, is vastly increasing againstus. There is a wide extended stagnation of •bnsi nese, and scarcity of capital, resembling in ev ery manifestation, the signs of the times which preceded the passage of the - Tariff act of '42.. These in our minds are serious facts, and thun der-toned arguments, which can never be ex plained away by the deceptive logic of free trade, or the sophiitried of "democracy," falsely so called. . Resolved, That Me illustrious military ca reer and long publicservices of GEN. WIN FIELD SCOTT, justly oharactemizo him as " the Great. Captain of the age," and entitles him to more than the warmest dratitude of his countrymen. Resolved, 'That we PROCLAIM ourselves in favor of his nomination as the People's Candi date for President in 1862; and recommend to his friends throughout. the State, that one or more conventions be called at suitable times and places to give proper expression to public_ _sentinientin Ms - taxer - - - Resolved, That Major Daniel Washabaugh and Samuel J. Castner, Esq., are hereby ap pointed delegates to represent this county in any, convention that may be called in accord anceirith-the-suggestion here made. Resolved, That . it is with peculiar pride as Whigs and as Pennsylvanians that we contem plate the character and public services of our -patrioticElovernor, WILLIAM-F. JOHNSTON. In' the face of-many obstacles, - and in defiance of a powerful, active and relentless opposition, . he so wisely laid the plans for his administra ' tion, and is so successfully executing them for the interests and honor of the State, that his very enemies and revilers stand ahashed, and • his friends aro astonished at the triumphs of his statesmanship, and the magnificence of our prospects. He has not only arrested'the in crease Of our enormous' debt, on which pre vious administrations could not pay the inter est, but he is reducing it by hundreds of.thou san4s annually, cud has established a system by which it will ore long be entirely extin guished. - Resolved, That for the wisdom end patriot ism and success whichhave crowned his labors, he is entitled to the affection and gratitude of the entire Keystone State ; and that so far as our influence will go, we will use all honorable incites to secure his renomination. - Resolved, That inasmnollesmt•the a reach nr-gl6ll-15 &Eon e o ..to elect a Governor and-Canal Commissioner, and an en tire new Judiciary for this county and district, and Throughout the State, and also Our Sena tor and Representatives and nearly all our oonnty•cifficos, we deem it en election of unu sual importance, and an occasion which . calls on every Whig:to contribute ' what he can to effect a 'complete organization. VOICE OF IJNIOIV COUNTY! As we leat/ri from the New BOrlin Star, large and enthusiastic meeting of the Whigs of Union'county, met at the Court House, by a call of the County Committee, on the 17th instant. Tho meeting.was organized by the election of M. 11. TAGGAIIT, Esq., 'president; assisted a large number of Vice Presidents and Secre taries, among the former of whom was that veteran Whig, the lion. Nor Middleswarth.— At tho call of the meeting D. W. Woods, Esq. responded in , an appropriate tribute to the memory of our late president, Gen. Taylor, and in encomiunts.upon the character and ser vices -of Pros. Fillinore, Gen. Scott, and Gov: Johnston. A committee appointed for the purpose then reported a series of resohitions, which were read and adopted, intanim‘ously. The first six resolutions are devoted to the value of the Union, the supremacy of the Laws, and the right of the Peoplo to alter and 'amend any law they may deem unvriso or unjust. The next four take the common ground in favor of the Proteotive•Tariff system, and against the Tariff of 1816, partioularly its ad valorem feature. The remaining resolutions were as follows : Resolved, That we deem the present a fit occasion to present to our fellow citizens' the namirof Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT as our pre ference for the,high and honbrable position of President of these United States in 1862, and thathis services as a Soldier and a Statesman, entitle him to the lasting gratitude of the A merican people, and are deserving of the.high est honor in their gift. Resolved, That our able and patriotic Gov truer WILELAM F. 30IINSTON, by the es tablishment of the SINKING FUND for the reduction of our State Debt, and by the ad ministration of the Executive Branch of the Government in a faithful and economical man ner, has esttdiThled for liiiatielf a I,g, an enviable reputation n a Statesman, and has clearly developed a system by the operation of which our State may relieve herself of her enormous Debt, and our people of their taxa tion. -Resolved, That we are highly gratified to 'see Gen. )3ICREL, the Democratic State Trea 'Surer; bear honourable testimony in favor of - ,tho Sinking Fund eyetem of Governor - John ston, and its operathins,,in opposition to the unfounded and prejudiced attacks of the Dem ooratio Union are:labor kindred prints. •,.

A bill lu4 been introduced into the Senate, and is now under discussion, which p,ropo'ses a tax upon tonnage and passengers transport ed over the York and Cumberland Rail Road. The amount designated is 26 cents per ton and 15 cents on each passenger. Our advices are that the bill cannot pass in this shape, butt that the tax,wlll be ridueed at least one-balf. Last winter for the purpose of securing "Felty Best's" support to their-iniquitous ap portionment bills, the locos. passed a bill divi ding Columbia county and forming the new county of Montour. On Friday last, tore-venge themselves upon Best, they repealed the the bill in the House! Such is the regard lo cofocoism has for the public interests. The repeal bill .wiirre lost in tbe Bennie ilia said.. The bill to repeal parts of the law relatiVe to kidnapping, was taken up in the Senate, on Wednesday; and "passed Committee of the whole by a vote/of 15 to 13. On the 'same day the consideration of the Free Banking Law was resumed and the bill passed second - raiding. It was then made the special order - for:11w folio - slag Turstiiiy=. GEN. JACKSON REPIIDIATKp t We learn from the legislative proceedings • that on Friday last Mr. - Bonham - moved — that five thousand copies of the Farewell addresses of Washington and Jackson be printed. This was_carried (although _Washington ought - stand alone) hot Mr:-Skinner-carried it- still farther by moving to have Gen. Jackson's Pro clamation to South Carolina added in the same book! This too was carried by the locofoce, majority. To do M i ll justice to .Gen. Jackson, Mr. Bighorn (whig) then moved to have 'Gen. Jackson's letter to Dr. Coleman on the subject of the Tariff also Fit in the book. This was voted /town by 55 nays to 85 yeas, the nays being alt locofoc'es, and Mr. Bonham being a mong them! Why was Gen. Jackson thus re pudiated ? Simply because his letter contains sentiments on the subject of the tariff, which aro totally at variance with their present views, and which, when contrasted-with -their present position, will show how they have de sorted the principles of thosewhom _they re gard-as-thefonnders-of -tho.m7arty,--twitt-hOW uttercy groundless are their vastly hypocritical eulogies upon themselves for their devotion to principle. Gen. Jackson, intlizeletter, written in 1824, says: I *ill ask, what is the real situation of our agriculturists? Wilere has theAtnerican farmer a market for his surplus products?— Except for cotton, lie has neither a foreign nor a home market. Does not this clearly prove where there is no market either at home or a --broadrthatthere is too much labor employed in agriculture, and that the channels for labor should be multiplied? Common sense points out at once the remedy. Draw from agricul ture this superabundant labor, employ it in mechanism and,, manufactures, thereby creat ing a home market for your breadstuffs, and distributing labor to the most profitable account and benefits to the country will result. Take from agriculture in the United States - six hundred thousand men, *omen and children, and you will at eneo give a home market for more breadstuffs than all Europe mow furnish es us. In short, sir, tlx have been-ton long sub ject to the British merchants. It is time we should become a little more Americanized, and ' instead of feeding the paupers of England, feed our own; or elm, in .a short time, by con tinuing our present policy, we shall be renderd Paupers ourselves." This is clear, sensible, and nndoubtedlytrue. Mr. Bonham and the Locofoco leaders, and, therefore, the.Locofoco liarty, do . net, wisli to take from agriculture, and thereby give a home market formore breadstuffs than all Europe now furnishes us. Ile and they desire that We should all became farmers—the necessary re suit of which would be that more will be rais .ca thanwo_can consume and sell--for,-as Gen. Jackson says, except for cotton, we hero nei ther aforeigs nor a home mallet—and the pri ces will diminish, and the country will become impovelished. The vote the Locofocos gave is. a direct repudiation of Gen. Jackson's doc trine, and shdws that while they are willing to use his name and memory as a means of gain- , ing strength as a party, they have deserted the principles which governed him, and have placed themselves in the ranks of those whose measures.cannot fail, if carried into effect, to destroy our people, and expose us -at once to the ridicule and pity of the world.

In the Senate, notice was also taken of the matte?, 'and Mr. Clay offered a resolution cal sing upon the 'President for information rola five to the recent case of forcible resistance to the execution of the law of the United States bathe city of.Bosfon. By The rules the reso lution was obliged to lay over ono day. On Wednesday, Mr. CLAY'S resolution, cal ling 'for information-relative to the forcible rescue of a fugitive,slave at Boston was taken up, and the mover made an earnest appeal for its passage. In .the course of his remarks, Mr. Cray said: "Who committed this fla .grant outrage? Was it our own race? No. But a band who_are_ net Of our _people. It was by Africans and descendents of Africans. The question presented by the occurrence was, whether our laws, framed by our own govern ment„ are .tine carried into force—or whether a government of 'whiter men is to be yielded to itgovernment - of - blaelcs? -- Scrastcamding - wirs the account, he would not, first believe it—but a distinguished citizen of MaSsachusets bad assured him it was true. The Senator from Mississippi, yesterday, after an interview with two of the highest officers of the government, Announced that the law would be enforced.— Ile also Lad on intervieWtvith those officers, and had - irceeitedthe same asset - a - nil that lth-e -law would be vigorously enforced. hoped the resolution 'would pass. " Mr.' lay was followed by Mr. John Davis, Mr. Auk, Mr. Foote, and others, who deprecated the occur rence, and itoied the sovereignty of law would be vindicated. The resolution was unanimous.. ly 'adopted., ' On Friday the President sent in a speoial message in reply to the resolution of Mr. Clay. The message embodies the affidavit of the Deputy Marshal, and 'states that private and unoffigit+setounts con - Cur in establishing the main facts in the case. The President, quotes-the laws - of - the Massachusetts Legisla.: Lure, passed in 1843, which prevents the con finement in the State jails ofliersons arrested "as fugitive aiavee._=7}u~~bi`s;~nye~ii~resi dent, cannot prevent the confinement of fuel tivesjer by the resolution of Congress, of March, 1821, the Marshal of the U.

The marshal of Massachusetts . , -had not provided such place, which is much to be regretted. A copy of the Proclamation is transmitted witlrthe message, and the President recom mends a modification of the existing law, by which a proplamation'may be dispensed with before calling out the militia to repel invasion or to 'execute existing laws, as the very fact of giving this publicity affords an 'bpportunity to persons intended to be arrested to fly or se crete themselves. The President recommends prompt execution of the laws, and repeats his assurance that they shall be faithfully en forced and all forcible opposition to them sup pressed; 'and to this end he is prepared to ex-, erciso the power.vested in him to the 'fullest extent.

Saturday last was quite a gala day. in our borough. . Although the weather was' unfavor able a largo number of our country friends thronged our streets, and the different cele brations of the -day gave unusual spirit to zcasion. Such manifestations are a most . g- . ‘ ,.ying proof that the' birth of WASIII.'!f ,Toxoshich distinguishes the 22d : s if• February, is a memorable event which the Ainerinanpeo ple will not allow to be effaced froin their me mories. The recent anniversary seemed to be enjoyed bYall classes of our population as a joyous holiday. In the morning there was a handsome parade of ono of our Fire Compa nies. At 12 o'clock a national salute, in honor of the day, was fired by. the U. 8. Troops at. the Carlisle Barracks. In the afternoon nn attractive display of' the military took place, and the evening was devoted to festivities, the proceedings of which. Will be found in to-day's paper. Tito parade of the Union Fire Company in the morning attracted particular attention.— SOme fifty gg.more of the members . , all deck _ed in the'appropriate and sbili.ilfg dress of the Fireman, appeared on parade, under the direc tion of Col. A. Noble, as Chief Marshal. The Engine was beautifully adorned with floral garlands and-wreaths, (the tasteful work of ladies fair, probably,) and drawn by a teeth of four noble gray bor'sel from the livery of Mr. George W. Hilton. The Hose-carriage,. which followed, was similarly , decorated, and displayed conspicuously upon it was a floral shield in which was worked in evergreen let ters the glorious name of Union. On the hose reel-of -the carriage .was-displayed—the-bright stripes of our national flag. , The decorations of both carriages elicited warm expressions of admiration from the ntlmerous spectators on the side walks. The Fiismen- were Acolnpa nied by the members of. the_Garris'a Band, in. their gay scarlet and blue uniforms, who die coursed most eloquent music upon the line of march. The whole display was worthy of the coppanyvincl_the occasion,_and_was witnessed with high satisfaction by the public. Of all our public associations none are more entitled to the-fostering care-and : regard:of--Tthe- pun, 'nullity than the Firemen. The following com pliment which we find in a late poenr by Miss Eliza Cook, one of England's beat living poets, is apropos: Whemtlto red sheet winds and whirls In the coil of frightful death ; • When-the bannered smoke unfurls, And the hot walls drink:our breatli ; When the far off crowd appears Choking in the demon glare, And some helpless form appears In that furnace of Despair; Savo! oh,..sovel the people cry, But who phiekillid .......... brand?

Tho Military parade, comprising the Carlisle Artillery, - Cript; - Hunter, 'the Infietry,'Capt. S. Cropranti-the-Hunter—Riftes—under—Capt W. Crop, was very fine. The' ranks of each company were full, and the marching and evo lutions 'worthy of well-drilled soldiers: Esonzio of Counterfelteio. "The two men arrested last fall for passing counterfeit money, and committed to our coun ty jail for trial, succeeded in making their es cape on Friday night last, , and are again at large. The trial of the , prisoners had been postponed by order of the'Court, from the No vember term, in the expectation that develope- Minitel would bo made leading to the detection of the authors and originators of the counter feit money, which bas been distributed by small,gangs of men in various parts of the State i during the last year. The Sheriff has offercea reward of $5O for the arrest of the priioners. The escape of these men shows the insuffi ciency of our ancient jail for the secure con finement of prisoners.. It is exceedingly old and dilapidated, and as a public building' is anything but, an' ornament. Other counties are erecting new and handsonie jails, and ire trust the people of Cumberland county will resolve to keep up l uitiithel progress of the ago in public improvement. Great. Lovige4tty.
