During the,-'absence-of - the committee, the
aneeting was addressed by W. M. Penrose,
Esq., of.Carlislo, and'Col. Cornyn; of Bloom
field. These gentlemen were much ai,plauded,
and the best spirit seamed to prevail. After *,
the speakers had concluded the following reso
lutions wore read by C. W. Bailor, chairman
of the committee:
Resolved,. Thai the 'Whigs of Perry county
continue to adhere !LS ever, to the great nation
al Whig party, and units with them in sustain
ing the integrity and harmony of the rnion,
..and advocating the protection of Arnericanla
bor, the development of our National rcsour
cos, the 'improvement of our common country,
and the maintenance of judicious economy in
the administration of the Government.
Resolved, That MILLARD EILLMORE is
entitled .to the gratitude of his country for the
calm, consistent, dignified and energetic man
ner in which helms discharged the responsi
ble duties of his exalted station and the patri
otio..purity of purpose that leas distinguished
Us entire administration.
Resoled,u That we alopt file - language of our
patrietiS Chief Magistrate Millard Fillmore,
and regard the compromise measures of the
last Congress—although the constitutional pro
vision on some of the subjects might have been.
moveeffectually carried,otit, by a law more e
quitably and justly constructed—as a "final
settlement of -the dangerous and exciting sub
ject whieli they embraced," and deprecate any
further -and useless agitation of the unfortu
nate question of slavery.
Resolved, That, in the emphatic language of
Gov. JOHNSTON in his last annual message, we
regard the Union of the -States as " the asis
R e constitutional right, the guarantee of peace,
the securitr of religion, th - obt - difirk - Of • all law
and order; that it is " the perfect -work of
disciplined intelligence and rational patrio
tism ;" that it is "hallowed by the rich mem
ories of the past, and by the consciousness -1
that lts'founders were - the fathers of the Re
oublic; " and Metals the "outer and inner
wall which encircles and guards-the temple of
our independence." We never trust ourselves
to think otits-dissolution as even. a probable
event, and with cheerfulness subscribe to the
correctness of Washington's doctrine that we
should . " discountenance-tehatever-mity-s-uggestw
ven a suspicion that it can in any event be aban
doned." .
Resolved; - That the policy of bringing the la
bor of America in direct competition -with- the
pauper laboir of Europe by a system of reve
nue, based upon.the principles of the tariff
of 1846, is unjust' to the laboring man, and
destructive of the best interests of the country
at large, and while - we-deprecate the principle
-of sustaining any class of men at the expense
of the interests - of the rnaks;,tia reiterate our
attaament to the principles for which we have
long contended of adequate protection to A
merican labor as most conducive to all the great_
interests - of - this coufftiy.
Resolved, That General WINFTELD-SCOTT
is the choice of the Whigs of Perry county, as
a candidate-for the Presidential canvass of
1852, and with the old hero of Chippewa and
the Mexican-war, our banner will wave trium
phant frorri every mountain height of the Key
-stone State.
Resolved, That we rill support WILLIAM
T. JOHNSTON for Oevernor, •
.13ecause ho has devised a mode of reducing
the alarming State Debt. whteii uponixix acces
sion to office, exceeded forty 'Millais of dol
lars; the interest upon which was paid, by his
predecessors in office, in depreciatinheurrency,
in consequenee.of which the credit of the Com
monwealth was greatly depressed: -
Because, under.his administration, nt least
one half a million .of ilea debt has already
been paid, and this is but the beginning of the
end:
Because, in addition Millis, works of great'
public importance have been completed and
imprevedworks_which.. have. ma,de the re—
maining improvements more valuable and to
to that extent are increasing the revenues of
the- §tato:
Because, the reduction of the debt half a
million of dollars, and, the completion -of cer
tain of the public, 'works, have been effected with
out any increased taxation upon the Jiirmers of the
- Commonwealth :
Because, the official records prove that dur
ing the time ho has been Executive of the
.State, a less amount of money has teen collect
ed from the farmers and others owning Real Es
tate than durity:a Corresponding period under .the
previous Adnntstration.
And Because he has wisely and well watched!
over' nd guarded every interest, devised every
means. and directed all, that the welfare of the
whole people should be secured.
Resolved,
~That wo ,will stipport JOIIN
STROHAI for Canal Commissioner because-be
is honest and competent; and because, if elec
ted, he will destroy much of the opportunity
for wastefulness'in the Canal Board whose an
nual expenditure of more than ono million of
dollars is necessary to keep the' vast machin
ery of our public improvements in repair.
Resolved, That the records of Congress
show that Joldi Strohm voted for an increase
of the Soldier's pay in the Mexican war, and
also for an appropriation of $500,000 for the
benefit of the wounded and disabled soldiers;
and that Diehard Broadhead, James Thomp
son,Charles J. Ingersoll oncl fifty six other
a-styled Democrats voted against the same.
„Resolved, That in the Constitutional election.
of a Judiciary, 'we are balled upon to discharge
our highest and most important duty:—one
the proper discharge of which involves our
lives, liberties, and peaceful enjoyment of our
properky:—that we aro required therefore to
look well to the character of our Judges, that
they may be learned in their profession, of
tried arid unbending integrity, of pure princi
ples, and-espeoinily of moral and physical
courage to glye Affect to Sidi. character:- , -that
the life of a good Jlidge should afford evidence
of exemplary eharacter,.singleness of purpime
and .dispassionato temper. They alone .who

PERRY AVIIIG; MEETING
The meeting of the Whiglof Perry county;
whose proceedings wo copy, and at whiclec'wo
had the pleaspro of being present, was (piton
large and enthusiastic gathering. Taking into
consider
t i , on thefact that Perry county has
usually gi en some SOO laeofoco majority, the
Whig meeting by its numbers afforded afar
more encouraging demonstration of political
feeling and activity, than our opponents could
have derived from their "great mass meeting"
held'on the - same day: For the Bigler meet
ing, got up expressly to welcome Col. Bigler
to his native county, and for which extraordi
nary efforts were made to assemble the largest
possible crowd, was really a comparatively
small affair and almost 'entirely destitpto of
that enthusiasm which we had expected lb be
evinced by the wild democracy of Perry at the
reception of Col. Bigler. We cis-state no
thing when we say that expressions of disap
pointment with the meeting. Col. Bigler's
Speech and the ominious breaking of th eirlof
ty hickory pole, wore freely made by largo
numbers of our opponents who went to the
meeting with high expectations.
The Whigs of Perry work under many dis
advantages, and under these circumstances,we
could not help feeling gratified with the enthu
siastic spirit manifested at their meeting. The
Court House was filled to overflowing with
genuine lir.e wings who have hearts for the
contest and not for despair." The speeches of
our townsman, W. M. Penrose, Esq. and Paul
Cornyn, Esq. of Bloomfield, were both of the
right stamp, elo4bent and forcible, and elicited
shouts of applause, We look for a good re
suit from Perry, and notwithstanding the noisy
swaggering and boasting of our opponents con
fidently expect a handsome reduction of her
former vote against Gov. Johnsien.
DFATII OF ANyiIITDIA.BLE LADY.—We deeply
regret to learn from the Ledger, that Mrs. Al
len, the - wife of President Wm, U. Allen, of
Girard College, died on -Friday morning, in
Centre county. She had been reduced very
low: by a severe attack of dysentery, which
has been so prevalent among the inmates of
the College during the present summer, but
keeeining convalescent had reached C l Ontre
county oil , her' way to Bellefonte, when she
suffered a relapse, which terminated in death.
The • deceased was the daughter of the late
. Roland, Curtin, Esq., of Bellefonte, Pa:, whore
a large circle of re atives and friends will
mourn her untimely dente. During her resi
dence at the College she bad. endeared herself
to, the Orphans by the kind solicitude mani
, footed by her for'their health and general wel
fare: The boys will sincerely regret the loss
they have sustained in ono who, was most
. faithful 'and devoted in'all her domestiC rela
tions. •

truth, and'one which should be briiugilt home
to the mind anti eonsoience of 'every Whig in
Pennsylvania, that, in the present position of
patties in this State, it is most assuredly with
in the patter Of the Whigs to elect their ticket

should be thoroughly rallied and all induced
to vote: And Cannot this be :lone ? Governor
Johnston is doing his whole duty. Will his

COL. BIGLER IN PERRY
It was pretty hard work to stand ovoran
hour tinder a roasting August sun•rtnd anx
iously look in the• distressed face Of a man
painfully laboring in the effort of memory to
bring out a second .edition_of a speech_which
he had origin - gill, deliierad A. few days before
near Philadelphia,-but ne , ;:ertheless )yo did so
as ono of the martyrs of Col. iligler's audi
ence ip Perry county oh Taesday last. And
to all appearance our locofoco friends did not
enjoy the thing any better-than we, if we may,
judge from tho way the cronntbecame gradu
ally less and loss as the Col. worried through
his laborious task. Not to do Col. Bigler any
injnetice, , ho bears the appearance of an ami
able and courteous man, but immeasurably
inferior to GOV; Johnston in ability.
Col.,Bigler's speech did not rousAis 'au
dience to enthusiasm. It was coldly received.
If We hatl not heard expressions of disappoint
ment from many in the audience, the com
ments of the Perry Democrat would prove this.
Our representative in the Legislature, Mr.
Bonham, made a lengthy' speech on his favor
ite subject of Free Trade, and was followed
by a stranger named Shriner,-and evidently in
the opinion of. the Democrat this last 'named
noisy blatherer bore of the, palm!, Col: Big
ler's speech shMied him to be pia gentleman .
of talent," but Shriner, says' the Democrat,
"addressed the waiting mass in a style to
which thisi notice can do but feeble justice.—
His sarcasm was withering—his sallies of wit
irresistible—and his manner inimitable !"
(Yes by 'tiny sane
. man.) In the evening it
appears ho again °polio and even "out-Shrin
ered,Shriner !" We need not add 'anything to
prove bow weak an, affair Col. Bigler's speech
must have been, When by the Democrat itself
it is rated below the crazy rant of Shriner!
garTtM Yational liatelligencer of last Satur
day contains a long article on Dr. Gardiner's
claim. The circumstances adduced are prob
ably those which influenced the minds of the
Commisaioners in granting the claim, and
must, upon a candid perutial, satisfy the pub
lic that a claim was evidently made out which

GOY. JOHNSTON
Tho Locefoco papers, says the Lancaster
Union, are abuiing our Whig Governor for go
ing before the people—for giving them an ac
count of his past acts as Governor and inform
ing them of his designs for the future. The
Locos object to his canvassing the State. Is
not Bigler doing the same thing? Why, some
fifteen or twenty appointments by him, in dif
foreut parts of the State, are now published
in the locofoco papers. lie is engaged in do
ing prociselcwhat Gov. Johnstou is doing
But, say the locos, Gov. Johnston ought not to
speak before the people because he is Gover
nor. The very reason why ho ought to speak!
Ife isMow a . publio -servant holding an impor‘
'tent trust, for which he is again a candidate,
and it is his duty to go before the people and
render an account of his stewardship.
The locofoco Governor of Tennessee, Trona
dale, has been canvassing that State; thci lo
cofoco Governor of Mississippi, Quitman, - bas
been canvassing that State,—other locofoco
Governors have been doing the same,—all
without ono word of complaint from locufoco

By this arrival we have Um news that on the

ble conflagration of May', San Branciseo suff
ered frcfm a similar cilamity. The number of
buildings destroyed is not less than five hun
dred, and the loss is - estimated - at three mil
lions of dollars. TIM fire was the work of in
cendiaries, several of whom were arrested,—
Their fate may bo easily surmised. :Many
lives are said to have been lost by this terri
ble fire, which, coming so closely on the heels
of that from which the cityThas not yet recov

of the- inhabitants. Active preparations aro
going on for rc-building the new burnt district,

- THE Muse adfriOlt hew.—The officers of
the law in Maine are putting the new Maine
Liquor Law into strict execution, and it makes
good deal of wincing. The law cuts down
both great and small—beer' and ale, as well as
the spirituous liquors—and a large quantity of
the former liquors, in barrels and bottles, was
seized in Portland on Monday and confiscated.
This is the most severe and summary law a
gainst the sale of intoxicating spirits that was
ever passed by any State Legislature. The
Providence Journal expresses some surprise
that the law is so effectually enforced, and
says:
This is so different from the effect Which'
strong prohibitory laws have had in other pie
ces that we scarcely understand it. Other the
respect for law is very strong in Maine or pub
lic sentiment, is very unanimous in favor of
sappressing the liquor traffic. The effect of
this experiment, it' it shall prove successful,
must be very considerable in the other Now
England States. A similar experiment is to
be made in Ohio. We do not see why it is not ,
ns likely to succeed there as in Maine. No
one will doubt that the suppression of the use
of intoxicating drinks would be one of the
greatest moral reforms that the world has ov
er seen. Such suppression by the force of le
gat enactment would be scarcely less remark
able."

One of the large buildings at the U. S. Ger
son, near this borough, used as a Forage
house, wns burned out with a portibn of its
contents, on Friday afternoon last, between
.three and four o'clock. The origin of,the fire,
whether accidental o r designed, is• unknown.—
It is surmised that seine one may have been
in the house with n. lighted segar or pipe r and
accidentally communicated the fire. Our fire
companies wore speedily on the spot after the
alarm was given, but although they worked
hard, were unable to do more then confine the
fire to the building in which it started. The
walls of the building are still standing, but the
roof nod frame'-work were entirely consumed.
The amonneof produce in the building was
not large and a portion of it was saved from
destruction. It is to be immediately rebuilt.
rnticing'Solallero to Desert, &c
Hugh Mcßride, of Perry county,:was arrest
ed on Wednesday last, by the Marshal of the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania; upon the
'charge of enticing soldiers in the service of
the United States to desert, and purchasing
their arms, uniform and clothing. The charge
was made by Col. Cooke, of Carlisle Barracks,
from certain information furnished him froril
Perry county. Afeßride was taken before the
U. S. Commissioner, -Mr. MuAlbster, at Har
risburg, on the same day, fora bearing. As
the charge. vas not sufficiently, substantiated
before the Commissioner, the -defendant was
discharged.. It is'said that a number ,of sol
diers have deserted. recently and made their
way over info 'Perry county, where they have
-received aid and comfort .from:porsons who
have purchased their• arms and clothing and
furnished them with citizens' drays. Such I
Conduct is severely puniilied by law.
Plremen , A Parade
Our two Fire Companies—the Union and
Cumberland—mado a hiindsomo parade on Sat
urdaY last, attracting a large number of specta
tors and OTieiting the .warmest expressions Of
admiration by their fine appearance. The en
gines and hose carriages . of each *ere very
tastefully adorned with garlands of flowers
and other nppropriate decorations,end-were
lraWn through the streets by the members of
the companies.. "The members were attired in
the appropriate Fireman's uniform-,those of
the Union wearing scarlet outside shirts, ga
,tlared in at the waist, and black pantaloons
with wide-rimmed fireman's hate—and the
members of the Cumberland wearing short
frock coats of the same color, with cloth caps
and black pantaloons. The Union had forty
five members on -,paradO, under Col. A. No- I
ble, as Chief Marshal, and Lieut. 0. N. Crop,
as Assistant Marshal; and the Cumberland
forty: eight members, under Maj. -Robert
McCartney, as Chief Marshal, and Lieut. John
Roberts, as Assiaant farshal. This demcinL
stration shows that the Fireman's spirit has in
a great degree taken the place of the military
spirit with our young men. Our Fire Comps:-
nies are well organized and fully equipped for
efficient service. They are a credit to the
borough and entitled to the 'fostering care of
the
_ . authorities. During their long march
through the town they were not only greeted
with the approving smiles of the ladies but re
ceived many tokens of the enthusiasm of the
gentle sex in the shape of elegant enthusiasm `
and wreaths of flowers, which were borne off
with rapturous cheers.
• New Game Law
A friend who is one of the "best shots" in
town, and who is very strenuous for the pro
tection of birds one portion of the year that
he may have the pleasure of bagging" them
in.:dite season, writes UT a note saying that for
the benefit of the sporting public it may be
well to notice a new game law passed far Cum
berland county, at the last session of the Leg
islataye. By this law, no woodcock or pheas
ant is to lio shot before the lot of Soptetaber,
and no partridge or wild turkey before thel:St
of October. Any violation of its provisions
incurs a penalty of pre dollars, and it is made
the duty of the constable of any • ward, bore',
'township in which such an offence is com
mitted, to make information befdre a Justice
of the Peace and- recover the penalty, one
half of which goes to the constable. The be
nefit of exemption laws is taken nwa ' Y'from
offenders, and the possession of the "giallo out
of season made prima facie evidence' of a broach
of the law. '

if he would arrest a person oviduct whom war
rants were iSsued for obtaininfr, giinils under
false pretences. The arrest, was made; and
the constable sued Smith for the promised sum.
The case was tried before 'Judge Campbell.—

an tvgreentent.was.in violation of the policy of
the law. Notwithstanding this obvious reason,
and the fact that the fee bill

such cases, ...Judge Campbell told Om -jury
"the only question was whether the plaintiff'
,made the promise." This is the entire charge,

therefore misconstrued the law. It is the du
ty of a constable to 'pursue, searoh for, and ar
rest offenders against whom criminal process
is put in his hands. The office of constable is
created, not for the private emolument of tho
holder, but to ensure the public peaeo, and to
execute the criminal law of the country. - Con
stables must do their utmost to pursue, discov
er and arrest offenders, 'within their township,
district, h or jurisdiction, without other fee or
yeward Alien that given by the law itself.—

The next case is that of Snyder vs. Wise, 10
Barr, 157, In this case a judgment of a. Jus

Judge is not attached. So the Judgment was
reversed.
Two more cases, in which Judge` Campbell
was accidentally more successful; make up the
complement of his judicial career. The first,
Mill vs. Rnply, 10 Barr, 281, was one of the
plainest cases that ever crone befo're It court,
and this ease was affirmed, and at. the smile
time an error pointed out, not of sufficient im
portance to send the ease back for another tri
al. The fourth and laid cap', Vaideer vs. Vans
leer, 1 Harris,page - 186, was iiffiruied for iTn
acne different from thosenssigned by the Judge
who decided in favor of the right party ulkf
gether by accident.",
This is in full of the judicial talents display
ed by Judge Campbell, and who wouldoay_
- frorivn view of - it, - lie to the seat he
now holds. much less the higher ono he aspires
to ? But to show the unscrupulousness of lo
cofnen pApers, the PennsWvaninn two weeks
since contained,, a communication signed
Amergin,' said lb be from the pen ofn young
lawyer, and Protestant, Irishman.' •
Of this the Despatch' well says—. that he
is a young lawyer, we can readilyiniagine, for
no old lawyer who has a conscience, would-ha
zard his reputation that Campbell is an able
jurist. That the writer is a 'Protestant Irish
man' does not seem s- to us very Material to the
question; it adds mottling' more to the force of
.Arnergin's' article than if lie were a 'mormon
dutchman,' though the Pennsylvanian seems to
place so much impeetunce to' the fact of his na
tivity and religion, that it is quite overcome
with 'admiration and surprille.k
We however think there is mere in the ad
miration .of the Pransyfranian for the Proles
taut Irishman', than is dreamed of in the .
loSophy of the Despatch. 'We have- heard it
said that this 'learned Judge' complains of
