ITfllliVT AIM fili! PIWE1F, EBENSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1S49. ' CTTiic Senti.vel, has much the largest cir dilation of any paper published in this county and as an advertising sheet offers superior inducements to merchants and business men generally. Those desirous of making us of this medium for extending their business can dp to by either tending their notices direct, or through the fullowtng agents: John Crouse, Esq., Johnstown. E. W. Carr, Evans' Buildings, Third st. Philadelphia. V. B. Palmer, Esq , New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. CTThis is the day appointed by Gov. Johnston to be devoted to thanksgiving and prayer for the manifold blessings be stowed upon us by a most bountiful Prov. idence. . From what we can learn, we be lieve it will be generally observed through out the State. fFWc have not yet received the pro ceedings of the meeting held in Johnstown ' a few davs since with a view of forming a new county out of parts of Cambria, Som erset, "Westmoreland and Indiana. Our friend of the Echo did not publish them as we were led to expect from his article on the subject. We confess we would like to see them. Congress. This body will assemble on Monday next. As it is the first session under the administration of Gen. Taylor, the Presi dent's Message will be looked for with considerable interest. We think it will puzzle the Regency very much to find excuses for the many blunders they have committed since they came into power. It is hoped that every democratic mem ber of Congress will be present at the opening of the seession. Should this be the case, the democrats will doubtless car ry the organization of the House, and thus prevent their oponcnts from breaking their promises by making any more removals in that quarter. But if any democrat is absent on that important occasion, the contest may be doubtful. Let it result as it may, however, we will endeavor to keep our readers properly advised. Col- John W. Forney. With almost unparalleled unanimity, the Pennsylvania Democratic Press have recommended Col. Forney, the talented and accomplished editor of the Philadel phia Pennsylvania) , for Clerk of the Na tional House of Representatives. In Bed ford county, the Democracy, assembled in mass meeting, united in bearing testimony to his merits and ability to fill the station in connection with which his name has been brought forward. We are gratified to see this, as there is perhaps not a man in Pennsylvania who has labored harder or more efficiently in the cause of the De mocracy, or who deserves more at their hands. His ability as a political writer has deservedly placed the Pcnnsylvanian at the head of the democratic press of Pennsylvania, and he enjoys the confi dence and esteem of the party throughout the State. Pictorial Brother Jonailiaa. This mammoth sheet of Pictorial illus trations intended for the coming holidays has been received, and we must say that it far exceeds any of its predecessors that we have seen in point of design and beau ty of engravings. The large engravings of "Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet" and the "Pleasures, Troubles and Miseries cf Christmas in New York" are valuable and spritcd pictures, and are alone worth the price of the paper. There are besides a number of others of nearly equal merit. The price remains as usual 12 cents each, or ten copies for one dollar. Address Wilson &z Co., New York, Scotl's Weekly Taprr. We Icarn that this excellent family pa per is about being enlarged and improved, and drinted on an entire new font of type. This paper ranks among the best of our literary journals, and is very extensively patronized. We are glad to perceive that the enterprising publisher has received such encouragement as to enable him to improve and enlarge his "JFeekly," and thus render it worthy " of additional pat-ronagft, Important! We learn by the last Johnstown Xeivs that there is still an editor in this State who has been unable to-perceive what has rendered the present National and State Administrations so unpopular with the people!! The. editors of that paper ask us to point out thc actis which I have made these administrations so- offensive? to the people as to induce them to place them in a glorious minorit- and leave" them nothing mere than the semblance of pow- er. lien we hrst read the article, we thought they were endeavoring to quiz us, but on a second perusal we found that such was not their intention. We con- fess that we were considerably astonished to find that our neighbors were so blind as not to be able to see what every intelii- rrant m n n in iha - ti t rr In.- 1,n cfnool perceived. We did think that no man who reads a newspaper, much less who writes for one, would seriously ask such a question, u e have been decieved, however, and candidly acknowledge our a error. And as our younir lnends. in ask- ing the question, seriously confess their -w - r ignorance, we.may on some future occa- sion, do them the favor of pointing out to them some of the unpopular acts of the Regency and Guv. Johnston, although by doing so we may run the risk of offend- ing cur other readers, who are all well acquainted with the causes, with which was brought about results so disastrous to whiggery, but who will, we hope, excuse our charitable intentions. Taxable Inhabitants in Cambria County. We have been furnished with the fol lowing table, mnde out from the official returns filed in the Commissioners' office showing the number of taxable inhabitants in each township in 1842 and 1849. It must be a source of gratification to every citizen of our little county to see how rap- idly and steadily her population is increa- A A I smg: 1849 1842 Allegheny tp., 366 309 Cambria 478 340 Carroll 220 159 Clearfield 148 116 Conemaugh 703 474 Jackson 165 127 Johnstown Bor. 292 ine'd in Con Richiand 266 186 Summerhill 280 237 Susquehanna 133 97 Washington 462 303 White 129 87 3642 2435 2435 Increase 1207 The above handsome increase in the number of taxable inhabitants in our Coun- ty speaks well for its growing prosperity.

But unfortunately thcir assertion is false and every man in the county at all conversant with political af- fairs knows it to be so.

Appointment by the President. We see it officially announced that James M. Power, one of the Board of Canal Commissisoners, has been appoint ed Charge d' Affairs to Naples in place of Hon. Thomas W.

From the Carlisle Volunteer. Col- Wm. Bigler. The following letter from Col. Bigler to a friend in this county, has been hand ed us. with the request that we publish it. We cheerfully comply with the request Like i every thing Irom tne pen ot tins Sterling Uemocrai, ii is seusiuie uim ruun- nnrl;nn of the democracy of this State, as a gentleman of sterling worth and inflexable democracy: Clearfild, No'. 2, I819. Dear Sir: I have your favor of the 27th ult., reminding me of predictions which I made in November, 1818, and which have already been verified, I had then, as I have now, unfaltering confidence in the strength of the great Democratic party of this country. The'" truthfulness and justice of its principles must give it a controlling influence in our government. It may be occasionally, as we "have seen through some misguided impulse of the people, receive a temporary check or pros tration; but the "sober second -thought" reinstates it in power again:., It. Js the party of progress, and th3..6TuV party that keens nice with the 'advances of M civilization that properly appreciates and concedes to man his trite position on earth. Under its influence our country has grown and prospered in a ratio approximated by no other country on the face of the earth. Ours is truly the "model republic," and i s influence, and the influences of the Democratic party, are being felt the world over. The seeds of republicanism are be ing sown in all Europe, and sooner or la ter we shall see the good fruits. Our own truly Republican Government, founded and perfected by the American Democracy, is :he "cloud by day and piller of fire by light,?' that leads on the friends of human iberty in all Europe. Our late victorv. in rnanv rcsneets. was one of the most important, as well as one of the most brilliant, that we have achicv-! ea in many years. Uut opponents, in some parts of the Union, were really be 1 - V ginning ot regard Pennsylvania as a whig State. Our late triumph will make them sensible of this delusion. It is a well timed rebuke to arrogant federalism. The Regency at Washington, will begin to think that their day of destruction is al ready a hand. They cannot misunder-. stand such abominations from the people. i ours truly, Wm. Bigler. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The Money Market. In almost every resolution passed by the Convention of Manufactures, held at' Trenton last week, for the purpose of ur ging upon the attention of Congress. (through higher duties, more protection of domestic manufactures, we find an assu rance cf how much better eff the farmers are un Jer a system of high duties than when allowed the freedom of the market of the world. Considering that the Con vention was composed exclusively of man ufacturers, the farmers, merchants and mechanics not having been honered b)r even mention in, the call, this declaration Vi7 til rcini-pntinn ic nnflct I r cntr tdp least. The patronising manner in which the manutactu-ers propose to quietly in patting them the while encourageingiy on U he back, with the assuiance how advan- iageous u is ior tneir interest, mignt oe taken as good joke, but for the more seri ous consequences that might grow from permitting it to pass unrebuked.

Some idea of the character and value of the Lake trade, which is only one of the agricultural out lets to the market of the world, may be formed from a paragrph in the Buffalo Commercial of Nov. 6th; which states that on the evening previous, 15 steamers, 2 propellers, 2 brigs, and 21 schooners had arrived in that port, bringing 160,000 bar rels of flour, 49,000 bushels of wheat, 800 live hogs, 2500 boxes of cheese, and large quantities of other produce. This is some thing for one day. It is also noticed that i i a , u i r on her way down. 4.44a barrels of flour and 2,114 bushels of wheat; equal to 580 tons of merchandise; and the steamer Em pire State was on her way down, with 7000 barrels of Hour, saitl to be the largest cargo ever brought in one vessel. So large an interest as is indicated by the move ments, it is not probable will be trusted to the guardian protectionship of the manu facturers of New Jersey. Piussia and the Ottoman Porte. Whatever may have been the ultimate views of Russia when she imperatively demanded the extradition of the Hungari an prisoners, and threatened in case they were not delivered up, to regard it as a cause of war against the Porte; she seems, by the last arrival, to have greatly changed tier tone. She finds she is not the arbiter of all Europe, though she has just suc ceeded in forging chains for a proud and noble race; a race, be it remembered, to u'lmm n fmn rpnrpSpntatitr rnnctitutinn of their own had been for years accorded, and which had been basely violated by thp lotricTiiPS mill nprfii u nf Ihp hniicp rf Anc'v.nrh. "Ahhonah F,nrlnml .mil Franm had supinely looked on when she poured her battalions into the heart of Transyl vania and Hungary, to maintain the inte grity of the Austrian Empire and with it the balance of power in Europe she now finds when she assumes, as she has done of late, the dictator, and seems to aim at the subjugation of a neighboring kingdom, or at least of its Danubian provinces, that France and England rise up to resist her encroachments, and if need be, to oppose by force of arms a barrier to her ambition. Well may she pause well ma)' she with draw her haughty mandate to the Turk, if by persisting in her demands she draws down upon herself the confederated pow ers of Europe. Where could. she look for allies? Is it to Austria, who has so many rival interests, so much cause to dread her increasing power, and the bor ders of whose empire open so many points to her invasion? Is it to Prussia, Bavaria and the other powers of Germany, who, widely imbued with a liberal spirit, have in the hearts of the people no sympathies with the despotic views of the Czar? Is it to Italy, whose aspirations, though sup pressed by the bayonets of foreign pow ers, are for the widest liberty to Italy, ever jealous lest a Russian fleet should float upon her seas? Would the crowned heads of Germany dare to engage in a war in the cause of Russia, when the French revolutionary armies would invade their soil, and raise the battle-cry of free- dom on their march? "The wealth and the naval armaments of England the war like, enthusiastic armies of Franee wronged and indignant Lombardy and Venice the bold and free spirits of Ger many, oppressed and trampled in the dust and the Hungarians, the butcheries of whose brave defenders may be traced to Russian bayonets the Poles, who, sold and" betrayed, have deep and deadly wrongs to avenge all would rise up in one great league against the Northern des pot and what would be his security at home? One great battle lost, and he well might tremble for the stability of his throne. II is nobles, whose privileges he has abridged, whose risrhts he has tram 'pled on and abused, whose estates he has crippled with loans at exorbitant rates and with the exactions of heavy arbitrary fines, and whom his frown has filled with awe his nobles, who control the great body of serfs? that are the very sinews of imperial power, would they not seek by a revolutionary movement at home to re gain the freedom and position they had lost? Would not a crv of vengeance come from Siberia, in the depths of whose mines many a noble heart has bowed in despair beneath the mandate of a tyrant's will? Would not the Church, abridged of its ancient power and made the menial sub ject of tiie Crown, seek to regain its po litical ascendancy in the State, and be among the first to promote and join the insurrectionary movement? Well may Russia pause well may she recede from the ground she has taken, and accept a compromise from the feeble power she has menaced with her arms. From interest, from sympathies, from opinions, the nations of Europe would be arrayed in one unbroken phalanx against her or if not, she could not rely on the sincerity and faith of a single European power. She would have to contend with the civilized world, unaided and in a state of isolation, and to dread the disaffection of her oppressed subjects at home; and out of the vast, remote and unwieldy elements of her power might arise in the end a di vided Empire. Home Journal. From Mexico. We received yesterday, 'files of the Monitor Republicano and Trait d' Union of the city of Mexico, to the 20th ult., the Vera Cruz Locomotor of the 22d, and the Jalapa Zempoalteca to the 23d, in clusive. A lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, named Don Faustin Villalva, raised the standard of revolt at Cocula, near Igaula, proclaim ing Santa Anna general-in-chief of the re generating army of Mexico. He had but fifty soldiers with him. He was attacked by Gen. Palacois, his party dispersed, and he made prisoner. Villalva was to be ex ecuted forthwith. Quiroz, the principal leader in the late insurrection in the Sierra Gorda, after hav ing been shot was conveyed to Xichu, where his corpse was publicly exposed The Monitor says that rumoris current that speculators in the funds of the Repub lic, have corrupted some of the members of the Chamber of Deputies. This is ap parent from the apathy displayed by that body, when the report of the Committee on Public Credit was to be discussed. On that occasion 22 members were absent, and their being no quorum, the report was not brought forward. The question for and against the re-establishment of the Jesuits, which has caused an open war between the Gover nor and Legislature of Queretaro, has been referred by the former, Senor Mesa, to the Supreme Government. The journals at the metropolis are divided in opinion, relative to the advantages and disadvanta ges anticipated to flow from world re nowned intriguing priests. The Monitor is for the Universal against the revereud fathers. . M. Dubucq,a celebrated French econo mist, who distinguished himself in the col onization of Algeria, has arrived in Mexi co. He is about founding a college at San Christobal in Chiapas. The Apaches are again murdering and pillaging in the State of Durango. The American guerrilla party oi miriy men at -li -1 tackeJ them on 1st ult., killedfour and recovered the plunder they were carrying i ull Robberies are as frequent as ever in all parts of Mexico; at the Capital they had become unusually daring. The Governor of the district, Gen. Anaya, lately gave in resignation, on the plea of ill health, al though the Trait d Union says the daily reproaches made against the authorities by the press on account of the inefficient pro tection to life and property, had no doubt contributed to his retirement. The inhabitants of Tampico would soon be well supplied with drinking wa ter, which they have been so long clamor ing for. The turn of Vera Cruz will come next. An Indian chief (Apache) lately killed i by the American guerrilla party, comman ded by Capt. Box, bore on his person a medal, which had on one side, a bust, with this inscription: "Martin Van Buren, Pres ident of the United States, A. D. 1837;" on the reverse, "Peace and Friendship." y. O. Picayune Nov. .15 LThe Tribune learns on reliable au thority that several of the California em igrants by the Gila route have been mur dered by the Eutaw and Navehoe Indians, at the crossing of the Colorado. It is said that Indian warriors to the number of 2,000 have taken a hostile position at that place. EaPWe perceive that the South Caro lina folks are again holding nullification meetings all over the State. FOREIGN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CAILIEIDONIA. t ... Boston, Nor. 25, 1849. The Caledonia - arrived here at H o'clock last night, from Liverpool. - The intelligence by the Cafedonia is f comparatively little interest. No-event of special importance lias occurred in any part of Europe. The aspect of affair ia Turkey has not materially changed.- In England nothing has : transpired oi special interest. The new Minister to the United States, H. Bulwer, has sailed from Portsmouth, in the steam sloop PeV nate. According to Hant's'- Telegraph, his first business after arriving "-will be to know what encouragement, if any, the United States may give to the attempted withdrawal of the Canadas from th Bri tish rule. It is understood he has full power to resist energetically, all attempts at interfc rence on the part of the United States ia the Nicaragua affairs. It is said that the English Government has intimated to the Government of Canada, that no coercive measures will be taken to prevent annexa tion to the United States if the popular will be decidedly in favor of thatmeasure. Austria. Some three additional executions h'a.vt taken place. Haynau has published an amnesty and the Emperor has decreed that all ofEcerj who return to the Austrian standard before November 26th, 1849, are to be restored to their rank. The Jesuits are fast returning to Aus tria. In Roman States things remain a before. A deputation had left Rome for Perticle, to request the Pope to return all the universities in the Papal States arc to remain closed until further orders. Pussia. Fuad Efifendi has been informed by Count Nesselrode that the Czar demands that the Hungarian refugees should be lo cated in the interior of Caudia, or in such part of the Turkish territory as may afford the greatest facilities for keeping them un der surveillance. If any of the refugees wish to go to France or England, they may be permitted so to do. The -Czar will take no notice of their departure, and notwithstanding the danger that may at tend them, for whether inFrance or Eng land, there can be no doubt but that the refugees will busy themselves in prepa ring for another revolution. Pome. It was expected at Rome that the Pope would be at Benevento, on the 30th Octo. ber. Hungary. Mr. Carn, an American, had received requests from the American residents of Paris, tiiat he would exert himself in be half of the Hungarian refugees. 1 he exiles were still at Widden, entire number is stated at one hundred and twenty, principally ofHcers. Bern denies his final conversion to Islamism. Prance. La Presse contradicts the statement to the effect that the French government had dispatched a courier from Paris to St. Petersburg, to explain to the Czar that the sailing of the French and English fleets towards the Dardanells, was the re sult of any misunderstanding. Turkey. Constantinople, Oct. 26. Private letters from Constantinople an nounce the British fleet at the mouth of the Dardanella. The instructions given by the English Envoy, on the 24th Octo ber, expressed still more strongly the de termination of the English government to grant material support to the Sultan ia case of an emergency, and to form a de fensive alliance with the Porte, in the event of Russia attempting hostile meas ures. The French Envoy's instructions were nearly to the same effect. But though there was an evident desire that France and England should actm concert, it was not certain that a defensive alliance would be formed with the Sultan. In the event of war, it was understood, however, that France would support Tur key as long as she acted with prudence. The Sultan and his ministers were greatly pleased with the support of these two great powers, and still more so by the ap proval of their conduct by the Loudon and Paris press. No communication had been received from the Emperor of Russia relative to the reply of the Porte. It would be im possible for the Emperor to commence hostile operations by land against Turkey, until Mav next, and it was hoDed in the meantime that the dispute would be ad- justeu. nFTather Matthew was lately invited to Georgia by Judge Lumpkin, President of the State Temperance Society, who now writes a long letter revoking the in tation! Something about slavery is said to be the cause of the withdrawal of the invitation. CThe New York Tribune correct its table of the new.
