it superior.
CP The Weather for two Jays past
has been cold, wet, and disagreeable,
enough to give a man the blues, when we
should have nice, dreamy, spring weather.
tJT Our town presented quite a lively
appearance on Monday evening last.
Fifteen wagons arrived loadened with
goods for our merchants, and there is but
little doubt but that this place will soon
rival Wheeling where they have forty
"wagons in one day! only think of it.

Appointment by the Governor.
The Governor has appointed Evan
Roberts, Esq., of Johnstown, Associate
Judge of Cambria County, vice Hon. John
Murray, whose time has expired.
JuJge Murray in retiring from the
Bench has the satisfaction of knowing
that it will be universally regretted by the
. citizens of this county. He has been
one of our Associate Judges for a long
series of years, and his kindness of heart,
amiability of manners, and gentlemanly
deportment, have gained for him, the con
fidence and respect of men of all parties.
Fatal Accident. On Saturday evening
last, Mr. Patrick Cullen, of Jefferson, in
attempting to jump on the locomotive
while under headway, was thrown under
the tender, the wheels of which passed
over his leg below the knee. He survived
but a few hours. Mr. C. was a worthy
and'industrious citizen, and leaves a large
lamily to deplore his untimely death, with
whom we deeply sympathise in their af-

Tlie Crops in Cambria. The general
appearance of the crops in our county is
not so good as we anticipated. Quite a
number of the wheat fields look well, but
we thmk only the one half of them show
evidence of a full crop. The cold freez
ing weather during the winter, when there
was no snow on the ground, had the ef
feet of "freezing out" large quantities of
wheat. We think this evil would in some
measure be allayed by sowing oats with
the wheat in the fall. It springs up sooner
man the wheat, and when the snow falls.
n is Dome down and acts as a kind of
covering to it, protecting it from the severe
UI1U ncn is here experienced. Our
farmers are now busily employed sowing
oats, tor which the weather is favorable.
The fruit trees, will, during this week,
be in full bloom, and from present appear-
iiices, snouid there be no frost, we will be
plentifnlly supplied during the coming
summer with this needful luxurv.
CO" Col. James Ross Snowden, says

urer of the Mint at Philadelphia, has been
admitted to the bar in that city, and intends
to make that place his permanent place
of residence.
Rt. Revd. Bishop Meade of
Vir-
jinia, we learn, is dangerously ill.
The Philadelphia Statesman.
The above paper abuses Mr. Deal, the
Sheriff of that county, most vilely because
he has seen fit to transfer his printing to
another paper. This is both unkind and
ungrateful, for, as long as Mr. Deal con
tinued his printing with this paper, thete
was not a whimper in it against him; but,
as it was disposed to villify his friends, he
most justly removes his patronage to an
other paper and for so doing is condemned
by the insignificant, unknown editor of
the "Statesman."
But not content with attempting to in
jure the reputation of Mr. Deal, and
and place him in a dishonorable light be
fore the public, he spits the venom of his
spleen upon James Buchanan, Judge
Campbell, and John W. Forney. This
editor dares not place in broad capitals
his name at the head of his paper and let
the multitude gaze at it with feelings of
scorn intermingled with pity, but like a
concealed enemy he fires without being
seen; he wages war from behind a curtain,
which, if once lifted, would no doubt ex
pose to the view alike of the praised and
slandered, a fiend, who seeks by calumny
to raise himself to the glory of a prophet.
But this is not the course to be pursued j
to win admiration or gain respect, and it:
should be borne in mind that there is truth
in the saying, "evil be to him who evil
thinks."
Since the campaign of 1848, we have
been the admirer and constant supporter
of Gen. Cass, and we are of the belief
that he is the strongest man for the next
Presidency. But, in forming our opinion
we were not in the least prejudiced against
that bright particular star of the Democ
racy of this State, James Buchanan, a
pure patriot, and an enlightened statesman,
a man who towers above the puny editor
of the "Statesman," and all those concern
ed with it, as the monument on Bunker's
Hill above the meanest creature that crawls
around its base. The contemptible course
of that paper is an injury to the cause,
which it purports to advocate, and, if per
sisted in, will lead to consequences inju
rious to the Democracy of the State, and
will, with its fall, drag down to the lowest
depths of degradation all those in any
manner connected with it. W hy cannot
it pursue an honorable course towards
those members of the party with whom
it differs, as is the case with all the Dem
ocratic journals that favor the nomination
of James Buchanan? He should recollect
that,
"Slander meets no regard from noble minds;
Only the base believe, what the bise only utter
Of Hon. James Campbell we would
say to the "Statesman," he is a man who
enjoys a reputation throughout our Com
monwealth that is so lustrous and so firm
ly seated in the breasts of the Democracy,
that it would require the attacks of so un
worthy a journal to be directed against it
for ages, ere the lustre of that name could
be tarnished, or the affections of the peo
ple weaned from him. By his own per
severance and diligent study, he has ele
vated himself from a poor, friendless boy,
to be a Judge, "learned in the law," and
the respect due to his exertions is not con
fined to his native home, but, even here,
to our own mountains has it extended
and when vipers assail his path there will
be found willing friends to help destroy
them.
Col. Forney, of the "Pennsylvanian,"
withstands the attacks of the "Statesman"
as the firmly planted rock defies the lash
ing of the waves. He returns the charges
directed against him with ten fold ven
geance on their own heads, and how grat
ifying to him it must be that he does it all
himself, without fear favor or disguise.
Fully aware that he deals with a dishon
orable foe, one who is ashamed to show
his hands, the difficulty of his position is
easily recognized. Go on, Forney, firmly
in defence of your rights; the true Democ
racy are with yoa in your efforts to pre
serve inviolate the principles of the party.
You have done the State good service.
and take this motto as yourguide, MNever
aurrentler.
Let the "Statesman" go ahead in its
blasphemous course, let it do everything
it can to disorganize the party, let it pur
sue the uneven tenor of its way until that
period arrives, when, as it has foretold,
("verily a Daniel come to judgment") the
Democratic party will be in a minority in
this State, and then, let it exclaim with
regret and in the bitterness of its heart,
this is our deed, and the retribution is
upon us. Then

On all aides from innumerable tongues

phia, inserted this week, to which atten

v Capt. Jacob Zeigler.
This gentleman, who is the senior edi
tor of the Butler Herald, was sujrsested,
since the death of Hon. William Beatty
as a suitable person for Canal Commis
sioner, but in his paper of last week,
now before us, he declines the honor.
He says: "We thank them for their kind
and unmerited compliment. We are now
making a decent, and we hope, by the
advocacy of democratic principles an
honest living. The empty show of polit
ical preferment, may be the ambition of
some men, for us it has no such dazzling
brightness. Contented to live among a
people, who have done far better by us,
than we ever done by them, we seek not
the battle and strife of high official station
but desire merely to be looked upon as an
humble sentinel on the watch tower of
correct principles. Accept gentlemen our
thanks for your good intentions, it is all a
poor man can give.'
The Captain is a brave fifficer in the
ranks of the democratic party, and deals
ponderous blows on the heads of his ad
versaries. If it is not too late, and it is
"never too late to do good," we make an
amende to the gallant Zeigler that is due
him. About the time we entered upon
the position we now occupy with this pa-
per, he returned from California and be
came the editor of the Herald. This we
overlooked. We welcome him back to
the scene of his early labors, and wish
him every success in his enterprise. He

and should be well supported.
Central Rail Road.
The contractors of the western division
of the Pennsylvania Rail Road have ad
vertised for five thousand laborers, stone
cutters, &c. Fromjhis, it is evident that
the road is to he early completed. Dan'l
Barr, Esq., of Philadelphia, has been ap
pointed the agent in that city for the pur
pose of procuring these men, and from a
personal knowledge of the manner in
which he attends to his duties, in this res
pect, we can say that a better or more
judicious selection could not have been
made. He is a good judge of the quali
fications and character of the applicants,
and although large numbers of persons,
who suppose this a favorable opportunity
to go west free of charge as far as Johns
town, think to impose themselves on him
as bona fide workmen, he is not the man
to be gulled, and they meet with a posi
tive refusal.
Whig Consistency!
The Fulton Democrat says :
The Whig meeting of last week, as
published in the Republican, presents a
curious aspect. It passed resolutions de
claring Gen- Scott, the choice of the party
for President, and Wm. F. Johnston for
Governor, which were preceded by a res
olution approving of the "Compromise
measures passed by Congress last year.
It is notorious that both Wm. F. Johnston
and Gen. Scott opposed the said Compro
mise measures, and that both are bidding
high for the free soil vote in the next can
vass; yet, in the face of these well known
facts, the Whigs are trying to "carry wa
ter on both shoulders. Shame on such
duplicity !
Not so with the Whig party of our
neighboring county, Blair, friend Sansom-
At their meeting there was not a word
said about the Compromise, but as a reso
lution was passed unanimously, appro
ving of the course of their Congressman
who opposed part of these measures, we
must infer that the Whig party in Blair
are opposed to the Compromise, thereby
disagreeing with the great exponents of
their doctrines, Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster, who were for it to the death.
Jenny Lind Insulted. We find the
following account of the outrageous insult
offered to this estimable woman, while in
Pittsburg, in the local column of the Post.
It was alike disgraceful and cowardly, but
the villians are scouted at by every res
pectable citizen. Jos. F. D. Keating, the
noble drayman spoken of, is tha very soul
of chivalry and honor. We know him.
and record this act of gallantry with pride
Miss Lind intended to have nven another
concert, bnt this outrage quite unnerved
her. She intends to do 60 in July, next,
'if arrangements can. be made to secure
the audience and herself from disturbance.'
She is at present, rusticating near Union
town, Pa., from whence she goes to Balti
more. Tbe proceeds, of her concert in
Pittsburgh, was $9,000. The hall seated
1200 persons.
"We were mortified to learn that on
Friday night this angel of goodness was
most grossly insulted by a ruffian crowd,
who, while the Concert was going on,
dashed in stones at the window of her
dressing room, and applied to her, that she
might hear them, the most shnfekinor and
degrading epithets. And when the Con
cert was over, the crowd, which was im
mense, who had assembled iu front of the
building, appeared determined not to leave
until they would see her. After all the
visiters had departed it still waited, (the
carriage being there, ready to take her to
the Monongahela House,) but she was so
much alarmed and terrified, at what had
already occurred, that she could not think
of coming out while the crowd remained,
and it looked very much as if she would
be detained all night, when, by some
means or other, as the story goes, an hon
est, good hearted drayman, by the name
of Keating, got into the room and told her
that if she mould entrust herself to his
care, he would assure her that she would
get home safe. She listened to him and
confided in his integrity. She accompa
nied him, followed by some of her troupe,
we suppose, out the back way, and suc
ceeded in making her retreat before the
crowd was aware of her departure.

The Pnhlie Yorks.
At a meeting of the Board of Canal
Commissioners, held in the city of Phila
delphia last week,a number of resolutions
were adopted, from which we extract the
following :
Resolved, That each inspector of car
goes on the Canals and Railroads of the
Commonwealth be, and is hereby directed
to make a weekly report to the Board, un
der oath, of the number of each car, or the
name of each boat inspected by him du
ring the week, together with the name of
the owner of the car or boat inspected,
and a general description of such car or
boat; and in case a fine is imposed, the
amount of the fine, and the character of
the fraud. A failure to comply with this
resolution will be considered sufficient
cause for removal.
Resolved, That the Superintendent of
Motive power and Supervisor of Repairs
on the Philadelphia and Columbia, and
the Allegheny Portage Railroads, be and
they are hereby directed to dispense with
any agent, mechanic, or laborer, under
their appointment, whose services are not

tions of their roads, keeping in view a
strict regard to economy in expenditure,
and despatch in transportation.
Resolved, That the Superintendents of
Motive Power and Supervisors of Repairs,
on the Philadelphia and Columbia and the
Allegheny Portage Railroads, be and they
are hereby directed to remove any agent,
mechanic, or laborer, under their appoint
ment, who is not fully qualified to dis
charge the duties assigned him, and to ap
point in his stead a person duly competent;
so that the number of persons employed
on said roads shall not be augmented, in
consequence of the incompetency orne
gleet of duty of any of. the incumbents.
Resolved, That the Superintendents of
Motive Power and Supervisors of Repairs
on the Philadelphia and Columbia and
the Allegheny Portage Railroads, be and
they are hereby directed to examine into

petency or neglect of duty, as well as
such officers whose services are not actu
ally necessary, so that the number of said
appointments may be reduced, "if now
larger than is required for a prompt and
efficient discharge of the public business.
Resolved, That the Supervisors on the
several lines of Canal be and they are
hereby directed to reduce their force to
the lowest number compatable with the
security of the public works under their
charge, and a prompt dispatch of the busi
ness on their line.

Motive Power and the Supervisors of Re
pairs on the Railroads and Canals in the
Commonwealth be, and they are hereby

The Whig Platform.
As the Editor of the American andj
other leaders of the "fuss and feathers" j
branch of Whiggery, are bent upon ma
king General Scott an 4available" candi
date for the Presidency, we feel disposed
to assist them a little in collecting materi
als from which to construct their platform.
The following letter- written "in haste"
by the General in 1841, (he is somewhat
celebrated for his "hasty" epistles,) was
published at the time by all the Native
American WThig papers in the country,
and was by them eulogised as a patriotic
and brilliant production. We hope the
"hasty" document will be read by the
chairman of the Scott meeting, which
Biddle &c Co. are getting up in this City
on the 22d inst. The old Anti-masons,
Federalists and Natives will no doubt ap-
nlaud the sentiments of the letter. As a

From the Loudon (Va.) Whig, June 18, 1848.
Letter from General Scott.
The following letter from Gen. Scott
was circulated among the members of the
recent (Philadelphia) Convention, and
created much sensation:
Washington-, November 10, 1641.
Dear Sir: I have the honor to ac
knowledge your letter of the 9th inst.,
written, as you are pleased to add, in be
half of several hundred Xative Ameri
can Republicans of Philadelphia.
Not confidentally, but not for publica
tion, I have already replied to a letter from
David M. Stone, Esq., of your city, on
the same subject. I will write to you in
like manner and in haste. This is the
month when the pressure of official busi
ness is the heaviest with me; leaving
scarcely time for necessary sleep and ex
ercise. I must not, however, wholly neg
lect your communication.
Should any considerable number of my
countrymen assign me, or desire to give
me a prominent position before the public
I shall take time to methodise my views
on the great question you have proposed.
Those views had their origin in the stor
my elections in the spring of 1836, and
were confirmed in the week that Harri
son electors were chosen in New York.
On both occasions I was in that city, and
heard in the streets the cry, "Down with
the jYaticesJ" It was heard in almost
every group of foreigners, as the signal for
rallying and outrage. Fired with indig
nation, two friends sat down with me in
my parlor, at the Astor House, (Novem
ber, 1840,) to draw up an address de
signed to rally an American party. The
day after the election, I set out for the
South, and have never precisely known
why OUR APPEAL was not published.
Probably the election of General Harri
son rendered its publication at that time
unnecessary in the opinion of my two
friends.
I now hesitate between extending the
period of residence before naturalization,
and a TOTAL REPEAL of all the Acts
of congress on the subject MY MIND
INCLINES TO THE LATTER.
Concurring fully in the principles of
the riuladelphia, &c, ic, I should pre
fer assuming the designation of American
Republicans, as in New York or Demo
cratic Americans, as I would respectfullv
surcest.
I fishing success to the" great work
which you and other patriots have happi
ly set on foot, I remain with high respect
your fellow-citizen.

Maj. A. J. Docelson.
A friend in Virginia sends a copy of
the Wheeling Argus containing a letter
written by this gentleman, the present
able editor of the Washington Union, in
1844, from Nashville, to Col. Geo. W.
Thompson, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Wheeling District, in
which the following striking passage oc
curs. The letter of Maj. Donelson is an
invitation to Col. Thompson to attend the
great Democratic mass meeting held at
Nashville, on the 8th of July, 1844.
How breifly and how comprehensively the
whole idea of Democratic devotion to the
Union is here set forth, and how appro
priate to the position of the Democratic
party of the present day.

It is intended as a rally of our party
on the broad principles of Republican

union aiming ai noining out tte con

A Prelly Rtttle of Fish!
The Pitnburgh Post saysThe poor
Whigs we do pity them ! They are al

themselves. For some days past we have
had upon our table a pamphlet of 96 laree
pages, entitled thus: "The Chargss against

ment of David Paul Brown, Esq.,
an appendix, containing the Statement of
the Hon. James Cooper, in answer to the
Narrative of Wm. D. Lewis."
The whole is too long a story for us to
present to our readers in full; but it cer
tainly details one, of the most extraordi
nary, rich, unique, laughable, and serious
Whig fights that the country has ever wit'
nessed. It seems to be a political quarrel
between the Cooper and Johnston factious
in Philadelphia. Wm. D. Lewis, Collec
tor of the Port, w ho is a tcol of Cor.

The Cohan Expedition.
Correspondence of the Inquirer.
New York, April 27.
The Cuban expedition, or I might say,
attempts to get up an expedition in thw
city, has failed, and the purposes of tho
engaged in it, if they really intended to
invade Cuba, have been frustrated. Six
of the principal men engaged in the affair
were arrested yesterday by the United
States Marshal. Their names are John
L. O'Sullivan, (son-in-law of Dr. Kearney
Rogers,) Wm. T. Rogers, Jr , (nephew
of Dr. Rogers,) Captain Lewis, captain
of the steamboat Cleopatra, and formerly
captain of the Creole, in the former ex
pedition; Major Louis Schlesinger. one
of the Hungarian patriots; Dr. Daniel II.
Burtnett, an old resident of this city; Pe
dro Sanchez, a Spaniard.
The manner in which the arrest of tliec
parties was brought about, is nther curi
ous and novel. Among the deputy Mar
shals, is one of the name of Rakiclewitz,
a Polish refugee. The authorities having
ascertained that there were a number of
suspicious lookinjr characters congregated
at South Amboy.Rakielewitz was directeJ
to put on the garb of a newly arrived
German emigrant, go down to South Am
boy, mingle with the suspicious character
there, and if possible, obtain information
that would lead to the discovery of the
plotters of the expedition, if such expedi
tion had been formed. He succeeded
admirably, and the result was the arrest
of the above named parties.
If'asJiington, April 2G. President Fill
more is under the apprenehsion that a
military expedition is being fitted ou; in
the United States with the intention of
invading Cuba. He has issued a procla
mation, warning all who shall engage in
such an expedition, that they will thereby
subject themselves to the heavy penaltie
denounced against such offences, and will
forfeit their claim to the protection of this
government, or any interference in their
behalf, no matter to what extremities they
may be reduced in consequence of their
illegal conduct. He exhorts all good cit
izens to discountenance and prevent ary
such enterprize, and finally calls upon
the civil and military officers of the Gov
ernment to use every effort in their power
to bring to trial and punishment every
such offerder against the laws of our
country.
From Havana.
Charleston, April 25. The steamer
Isabel has arrived from Havana. Much
excitement continued to exist on account
of the invasion which was expected to
have landed on the 19th inst. The Cap- f
tain General had received a despatch s&-
ting that an expedition had sailed tron
New Orleans. The troops were sleeping
on their arms; horses were ready saddled
for expresses; and one steamer keeps her
steam up continually but when the Isabel
left nothing had occurred. One Spaniard
had been condemned to death, having
been detected in bribing a pilot to assist
Lopez. The people are said to desire the
invasion, and are ready to join when
respectable force lands on the Island.
