ETThe last Westmoreland Argus con tain another communication on the sub ject of the next candidate for Congress, the writer of which harps away on "that same old tune" about the injustice done to that county by little Cambria in daring to assert that she was entitled to the candi date. The principal argument of the wri ter, however, is based upon the fact that "Westmoreland has five thousand democrat ic voters, and that she has therefore the right to the member of Congress whenever she thinks proper. If Westmoreland coun ty, in this "day and generation" is dis posed to maintain that "might is right," we hare not a word to say, other than we had thought better of her. She may run her own man in opposition to the other two counties, and elect him too, but if she does so, it will place a stain on her hither to bright escutcheon that no time will wipe away. We do not think that she has any right to complain of this district or of the democratic party. In the distribution of offices by that party in which she occupies a very prominent position, she must con fess that her claims have been duly appre ciated and acknowledged throughout the State. Dut too much has been said on this subject already. We are unwilling to hold the party of old Westmoreland responsible for the effusions of anonymous scribblers. We know they are too generous to pursue the course that has been indicated by these men who are ashamed to let their names be known. The democracy of old West mot eland hare always done what was right and we feel confident that she will do nothing else" now. FWe wonder how the editor of the Hollidaysburg Whig can reconcile his pro fessions of religion with the numerous false hoods that he has put in circulation du ring the last few months. Dr. Wm. A. Smith. Tho Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, one of the best Democratic papers in the State, pay the following merited compli ment to our fellow townsman and late Representative from this county in the Legislature. We have conversed with a number of the members of both branches of Use jgis!aturc, and they ail concede that ihfi J3octor was regarded as being one of ths soundest democrats and most effi cient men that occupied a seat in the House. He never dodged a vote, nor flinched in the dirchcrg? of his dVty to 1UU VI Al Sii V l liVKIi bU constituents and hit party. The Penri3yhunxan say a- We perceive that the Democrats of Uambna county have been called to me?t in Delegate Convention, by the proper committee, on the 4&h ol the present month, for the purpose of settling a Dem ocratic county ticket, including candidates for the legislature, to be voted for by Bedford and Cambria. Without presu ming to interfere in the affairs of our mountain friends, we beg to express the hope, generally felt m this quarter, that the Democrats of Cambria may not fail to nominate as their candidate for Represen tative, that able, honest, and truly exemp lary gentleman. Dr. Wm. A. Smith, who was always found at his post, and always acted with the true men who struggled against Whig manoeuvres, during the last session. Wm- T- Morisoo. We are glad to perceive the enthusiasm that exists in the ranks of the Democratic party in consequence of the nomination of this gentleman for Canal Commissioner. North and south, east and west, his nom ination is hailed as the harbinger of suc cess, and his triumphant election is now regarded as certain. He is known as an upright, energetic business man, a pure democrat, and one that has never been known to flinch in his support of demo cratic men and measures, as the Journals of the House of Representatives for the last two sessions will abundantly testify. He is a man of ability and integrity, and no one acquainted with him can for a moment doubt that he will made an ex cellent and efficient member of the Canal Board. There is no division in our ranks no disaffection in our party but on the contrary ever)' individual member will give the ticket the whole ticket his warm and enthusiastic support. When ever such a state of feeling has existed among the members of the great democrat ic party of Pennsylvania, they have al ways swept the State by a clean majority of from fifteen to twenty thousand, and that will be the case we feel confident at the coming election. t5On last Friday night a fire occurred in Pittsburg which destroyed property es timated to amount to SI 00,000. The second Presbyterian Church and a consid erable number of houses were burned to the ground. H. II. Ryan, II. Campbell and Rhodrs & Alcorn are the heaviest in dividual sufferers. Morrison and Banks at Ilamc In order to show in what esteem the Democratic candidate for Canal Commis sioner and Auditor General, are held "at home," wc copy from the Norristown (Montgomery county) Register, and from the Lew is town (Mifilin co.,) True Demo crat, the following. From the Register. Our political friends in other sections of ;he State, may rest assured that Montgom ery county feels proud of the honor which has been done her choosing one of her fa vorites as the candidate of the party, and when the day of trial comes, she will e vince her confidence to him and her at tachment to Democratic principles, by rolling up a most overwhelming and mag nificent majority. Mr. Morrison's course in the Legislature has won for him the high regard of our party friends, who will, al ways feel happy to attest their approbation of his conduct; whilst his known integrity and purity of character, the urbanity of his manners, and in short the whole tenor of his life ard conduct, will induce hun dreds of persons, albeit unused to vote the Democratic ticket, to lend their assistance in elevating him to a position for which he seems peculiarly fitted. We thank the convention, in the name of the people of Montgomery county, for the candidate which has been given us, and congratulate the State at large, on the benefit it will derive from the services of Mr. Morrison in the Board of Canal Commisssioners. From the True Democrat. As we anticipated, the claims of little Mifilin were not overlooked, and our esti mable fellow citizen, Hon. Ephraim Banks received the nomination for Auditor Gen eral, on the second ballot. Judge Banks is too well known in Pennsylvania to re quire any testimonial at our hands, to add to his reputation as a Democrat, or to his fitness for the position for which he has been chosen He is a democrat without guile, a pure minded and honorable gen tleman, and wherever known, esteemed & beloved. He has had experience in pub lic life, is familiar with the history, politics and resources of the State, and will bring to the discharge of the duties of the office, a fund of knowledge and experience, that will be invaluable. Simrod Strickland, Iq. This gentleman one of the prominent candidates for Canal Cominifioner.' be fore the Williartisport JCjmvention, in the last Chester County Democrat, of which he is the editor, thus jtnndetlv and char acteristically speaks of himself: v The writer cannot conclude w i kluu V tending his heartfelt thank to the laro-a numoer or delegates irom the Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and cenlral nortions ol trie State, who favored Lit i nomination, for the office of Canal Corn-j raissioner; and trusts that he will ever gratefully appreciate their efforts in his behalf. To have received the support of sucn men, representing constituencies no ted for their zealous devotion to Demo cratic principles, '13 an endorsement of which anj' man might justly boast, and is a cheering encouragement for us to con tinue faithful in the path which we have heretofore pursued firmly supporting what we believe to be right, and fearlessly opposing what we believe to be wrong. And while we thus speak' of these, we can assure thoe who had other favorites, and felt it their duty to, and did operate honorably and fairly against us, that their course has left upon our mind nothing of personal unkmdness or political animosity. They but exercised a right which we claim for ourself, and cheerfully accord to every Democrat. In regard to the candidates nominated, he says: William T. Morison, presented for Ca nal Commissioner, has been one of the representatives of old Montgomery in the Legislature, for the last two years is a practical farmer, and is known as a gen tlemau of excellent education, high moral and political integrity, and sound polical principles. Those who examine his votes as a member of the House, find him among the true men of party, and in fa voreofsuch legislation as is calculated to promote the best interests of the people. We feel great confidence, therefore, that the parly have, in him, a candidate in all respects worthy of their support; and the people have, both in his private and public life, a guarantee that, as a member of the ('anal Board, he will devote himself to an honest and faithful discharge of the duties of the office. Ephraim Banks, of Mifilin, we have known for years, and have ever regarded and heard him spoken of as cne of the purest men of the State. He enjoyed largely the confidence of that good man and patriotic Gi verncr, Francis It. Shunk is a lawyer by profession, and is well qualified for the duties of Auditor Gen eral. J- Porter Crawley , of Crawford, is the nominee for Surveyor General. He is comparatively young in years, but of con siderable experience in public life, having just concluded a term in the State Sen ate; and has many warm personal and political friends in various parts of the commonwealth.

By her, we receive advices from Liverpool to the 25th, London the 24lh, and Paris the 23d of May. In France, the new Electoral Law. and the recall of the minister from the court of St. James, were the prominent topics of newspaper comment. ' The course pursued by both governments seems to be universally sustained by their respective journals. The pretext for the French minister's withdrawal, seems to be insuffi cient, and countenances the suspicion that it was a political move, designed to absorb public attention, and to counteract the revolutionary tendencies of the people. The Paris National says, "we read in a Belgian paper, that M. Thiers, after seventeen years marriage, is about to be come a father, and that he and his lady are to visit Italy, lor the purpose oi hav ing the child baptized by his Holiness " Wc regret to annouuee the demise of Mrs. Jeffrey, the widow of Lord Jeffrey, whose death was so recently the cause of almost universal sorrow. Shortly after the latter's decease, his widow, who was much affected by the sad event, broke up her establishment in Moray Place, and went to reside with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Empson, at Hai leybury, Hertford. But she never recov ered the shock she sustained by the death of her distinguished partner, whom she has not survived four months. Mrs. Jef frey's maiden name was Wilkes, grand neice of the celebrated John Wilkes, and was a native of the United States. A meeting of persons desirous to do honor to the memory of Wordsworth was hc!d on the 1 9th ult., at the house of Mr. Justice Coleridge. It was attended by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of St. David's, the Dean of St. Paul's, Arch deacon Hare, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Covendish, and several othei gentlemen. IRELAND. Trinity term was opened with the usual formalities the most remarkable incident connected with it, being that the list of candidates for admission to the degree of barrister has dwindled down to the unu sually low number of three. A numerous meeting was held in Cork city court house, yesterday, to promote the object of the exhibition of industry in 1851. The Limerick Reporter gives the fol lowing account of an unusually violent storm, which reached a considerable por tion of Tipperary and Limerick: "The war of elements began in the west. It passed the citv of Limerick at twelve o'clock, enveloping the city in a cloud of dust, but without doing any particular mischief. At Croom, hail stones of large size fell in great abundance; the lightning was remarkably vivid, and the thunder loud as If wiiliia t?ic ehortpst distance. Among the Clare mountains, at the oppo site side of ihe Shannon, its effects were equally terrific; and at Castleconnell, whilst the congregation were at church, the lightning struck the church steeple, carrying off about five feet in length and four feet in breadth of the solid masonry, and spreading consternation among the congregation. The' clergyman and those who were present, left the church as soon as possible. The storm then passed on towards the keeper's range, and appeared to dwell for some hours among the moun tains in that district. After the rage of elements, the weather cleared up beauti fully, and has become mild and genial, suited to the season, and affording promise of a ripe and rapid vegetation. ROME. Tne Pope is in a state of intense alarm, and is suspected of desiring to escape and take refuge with the Austrians. His alarm has received an accession from the success of the socialists in the late elec tions in France. The correspondent of the London JSews, says that his Holiness communicated to the Commant'a t Gener al of the Prench army, his apprehensions. The General, as might have been expect ed, was profuse in expectations and pro. raises, re-assuring the Pope with the most positive declarations that France, what ever political changes she might undergo, would never, alter the great sacrifices she had made, and the undoubted proofs of devotion which she had given, take any 1 ST . t . siep tending to anect tne dignity or en danger the liberty of the head of the church. His Ilcliness, wisely leflecting that the General's personal opinion could hardly influence the acts of a whole nation in revolution, was reluctant to abandon idea of a change of scene, and alluded, with some' hesitation, to a vow he had made at Gaeta, to visit the holy house at Loretto, and to his present desire to fulfil this pilgrimage. How far this point may have been urged, or in what exact terms it may have been combatted by the French General, it is of course difficult to ascertain; but the result is, that his Holiness is guarded with a renewed degree of vigilance; French officers of the etat major are continually in his ante-chamber, and it has been inti mated that, in his airings beyond the gates of Rome, he will in future be accompa nied by an escort of French cavalry. The conquerors of Rome are by no means dis posed to sec the fruits of their labors snatched from them by a second Spaur intrigue, nor arc they anxious to lose the advantages of possession, by allowing his Holiness to trot quietly over into the arms of the Austrians. tMy dear Aurph'y' sairl an Irish man to a friand, "why did you betray that secret I told ye?" "Is it betray you Call it? Sure when I found I wasn't able to keep it myself, didn't I do well to tell it ;ome one that could keep it!" - Toe Bif ficullj with Sjaio. A correspondent of the Ne w York Jour nal of Commerce, writes from Washing ton, that the Spanish Minister will present a formal demand for indemnity on account of the invasion of Cuba, by forces organ ized in the United States, and the protec tion afforded to the adventurers at Key West. That representations of some mo ment and urgency against the toleration of such expeditions by the U. S. Govern ment, will be made by the British iFrench Ministers, is very probable. In the New York Herald, June 6, we find extracts from the correspondence be tween Secretary Clayton and the Spanish Minister, with other documents, respect ing the Cuban expedition, submitted by the President to the Senate. The sub stance of them we state: On the 19th of January, i$50t Don A. Caldrron de la Barca, the" Spanish Minis ter, addressed a note to the Secretary of State, Mr. Clayton calling his attention to the manifesto of the "Cuban Junto." The Spaniard states that the Junta have issued bonds to raise money to recruit men payable out of the taxes of Cuba, and that he has transmitted to his government iiiiuimauuiiui uns iaci. He exic.,u it will rupture the good relations existing be tween Spain and the United States. On the 22d of January, Mr. Clayton replies that Mr. Calderon's pote had been laid before the President, and that instruc tions had been issued to the District At torneys of the United States to watch all movements having in view the invasion of Cuba. On the 8th of May. Mr. Calderon states to Mr. Clayton, that the Spanish consul at New Orleans, had informed him that the schooner llarvine, had been sent to Cha gres with ten kegs of butter, and ten bar rels of whiskey, having on board arms, munitions of war, and light artillery, des tined for an expedition against the' Island of Cuba. The consul complains that the U. S. officers at New Orleans, did not treat him fairly, and Mr. Calderon urges new and imperative instructions to the collectors and attorneys. Same day Mr. Calderon informs Mr. Clayton that men are sailing for Chagres, destined for an invasion of Cuba, under Lopez, and states: On the 22d of April two vessels set out for Chargres, without clearances, and car ried 400 and odd men, having first taken in, at a plantation down the river called Treme, arms and munitions of war. On the 22d the frigate J. W. Dyer, sailed for the same destination, carrying the remainder of the men who have been quartered near New Orleans, at a point called Bonligni, and who could not find room in the vessels in which their associ. ates preceded them. These made a public boast of their project, and insulted the Spaniards by proclaiming in their pres ence that they weie going to overthrow tyranny in Cuba. Another vessel is freighted by Mr. Breedlove, formerly collector of the cus tom house there in 1S3S and 1837 to take out rnc'ipf these men. Notice of further movements is also giv en. On the 16ih of May, the Spanish Minister complains of the appeals made i the N. Y. Sun, and of the insult to hi Government offered by the exhibition of the Cuban revolutionary flag. On the same day the Spanish Minister apprizes Mr. Clayton of the sailing expe dition, and calls the adventurers robbers and pirates, stating that they will be dealt with as such. Mr. Clayton replies on the 1 8th of May with copies of renewed instructions to dis trict attorneys; repeats the assurances that the United States' Government will main-( tain its good faith toward Spain: says that the difficulty of intercepting the invaders has been insurmountable as they have gone away in the disguise of emigrants to Cali fornia and Oregon; that three ships of the Gulf squadron had been ordered to Cuba to prevent the landing of any invading forces under the American flag; and that the steamer Siranac had also sailed within a few hours after creditable evidence of the intended invasion had been submitted to the President. May 31, Mr Clayton writes lo Mr. Campbell our consul at Havana, that the Spanish government will not recognize any diplomatic claims in him, and urges him to be vigilant in the discharge of his duties that foreigners detected on board an Amer ican vessel, equipped and armed for an in vasion of the territory of a friendly nation, cannot oe auowea 10 use our nag as a fraud to conceal their purposes, or to pro tect them in the act of invasion, and in general, the protection of the Government is due to those only who owe their allegi ance. If, therefore, any persons, not cit- izens oi me unned estates, shall have been arrested upon a charge of being concerned in the expedition, they will have no right to your interposition in their behalf, but humanity requires that the consul shall take all measures to preserve the lives of individuals. June I.Mr. Clayton instructs Mr. Camp bell to impress upon ihe Count of Alcoy, the distinction between prisoners who have committed a crinfe, and those captured under the appearance of an intention to commit a crime. The President means to claim for the American occupants of the Mexican island that they are not guilty of any crime for which, by the law s of civilized nations, they should su ffer death. They may have been, and probably were guilty of crimes, for which this government ought in good faith, to punish them under the act of Con gress of April 20th 1818. But supposing tne tacts relating to ineir capture to oe as they are represented to us, the President h3 rcsch Cwl that the eagle must and shall protect them again any paniahmew lot that which the tribunals of their own jut may award. Tell the Count of Alcoy to wad thea home to encounter a -punishment, which if they are honorable men, will be worie' than any he could inflict, m the indignant frowns and denunciations of good mn Ui their own country, for an attempt to viotaW the faith and honor of an nation wfifch holds its character for integrity of. t&oi value and higher worth than all the Anu!lt together. But warn him in the mott friftftd. ly manner, and the true spirit of oar an cient treaty, that if he unjustly sheer er drop of American blood, at this txit&ag period, it may ' cost the two countries t sanguinary war. - - - Tlie Cnba Sews. From the Union of June 4.) "We understand that despatcheff hav been received by the the GovernaieDtfroin our Consul at Havana, stating that he hid -demanded the 104 persons taken fty a Spanish ship of war on the Island of Contoy. Contoy is a neutraP territory, and the men taken there had not been gaged in open hostilities, and were actual ly considering of abandoning the enter prizeaud lemming tv tUx. United Statet, The Governor has made no reply Jo our Consul, who had transmitted despatches to Washington, stating the facts and catl ing for additional power to second his de mand. Despatches were yesterday sent to such portions of our squadron as could be immediately collected at Havana to as sist in pressing the demand. Should tbe Spanish Governor refuse, the Consul is instructed to inform our Government and in the meantime, our vessels of war are to obstruct the communication ol all veasels with the port. "It is reported that two vessels with reinforcements for General Lopez, which were commissioned to land at different points of the Island, are still at sex, then fate and destination unknown. It is said that in the event of these vessels being captured by Spanish vessels, our own squadron is instructed to demand them of the Spanish commander, and, if they be not given up, to seize them by force.' There is precisely the result we had anticipated from, the (Trst, of this maraud ing expedition that .'whether successful or not, it would ultimately involve the United States Government in difficulty with Spain, which would end in war and more conquest of territory; and this in all likelihood, was also the anticipation and desire of the principal movers in the ex pedition. But notwithstanding the inde fensible character of the expedition, the government has, under the circumstances, a high duty to perform, and we are gntN fied at the determination of the President to maintain ev ery right to which any citi zen of the United States is entitled. Tie imprisonment and punishment by. the Spanish authorities of American citizens found upon neutral territory or upon the high seas, engaged in no act of aggressicu, but who had in fact abandoned an aggres sive enterprize, upon learning its true character, is as clearly without justifica tion as an open act of aggression. It is not enough that they are suspected of con templating an overt act. It is said that jfour Americans who were taken prisoners at Carden-ts, have been shot at Havana, and that those who were made prisoners at the Island of Contoy and at sea, are re served for the same fate. In the execution of the Cardenas prisoners the Spanish authorities are doubtless justified by tbe law of nations; but between them and those taken at Contoy, there is a wide difference, and it is clearly within the duty of the United States authorities to extend to these men the protection which the Ajnerican flag secures to every citizen, even though he be suspected of having entertained bad designs.
