Scaright, our late candidate for Canal Commissioner ; which sad event took place at his residence near Uniontown, Fayette county on Thursday morning, 12th inst., at 7 o'clock. The Uniontown "Genius of Liberty" in announ cirg the fact has the following tribute to his memory : "We stop the press, after having printed off some of our papers, to perform a most painful duty to announce the death of Col. William Seaeigiit, of this county, who had been confin ed to bis bed over five weeks with chronic dia rhoea, which baffled tbe skill of the most eminent physicians in the country, and terminated Mr. Seaeight's existence this morning about 7 o' clock. Again has the unerring dart of death been aimed at a shining mark, and cut down one of the purest and best of men, and one whose death will cause a gloom to. hang over the community at large. Although of humble fortune, his un tiring energy and perseverance supplied the place of a patrimony ; and by his moral worth he rose to command a position in society that few men attain. As a husband, he was affec tionate, devoted, and atlentivc; as a father, watchful, kind, and indulgent ; and as a friend, firm, abiding, and sincere. His social qualities endeared him to his friends; his integrity won Lim the confidence of his fellow-citizens and neighbors ; and a conciousncss of the rectitude of his life, gave him assurance of immortality. In his death the community has lost a valuable' enterprising, and good citizen; his family a worthy head ; and the poor a benefactor. His heart was always free to forgive and forget grievances ; and his purse was always open to charitable and worthy objects. Those who knew him best, loved him most; and now that he has been cut down, ripe in years and honor ed in society, they mourn over his remains. In truth, a good if not a most inestimable man has fallen, and wc clothe our columns in mourning upon making an announcement so much to be lamented. Mr. SEAnicnT was born in the year 1792, in Cumberland county, in this State, and emigra ted to this couty at an early age, where he has resided until his death. His remains will be placed in their last rest ing place at the Grace Church burying ground near his late residence, on to-morrow, at C o' clock, P. SI., by tbe Slasonic Fraternity, of which he was an honored and esteemed mem ber. We deeply sympathize with hisfumily and relatives in their irreparable loss, and offer them the condolence of the community." Tlie State Convention. The State Convention re-assembles at Ilarris burg, next Thursday, 24th inst., to place in nomination a candidate for the Supreme Bench to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of lion. R. Coulter, and to nominate a candidate for Canal Commissioner to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Col. Searight. We hope tie convention will nominate good men ; men who can concentrate every democratic vote up on them. The importance of the Presidential election in November demands that the very lest and most popular men should be voted for in October. Plenty such are to be found within the limits of- the State, whose well known char acter, abil'.ty, integrity and practical bifonna- tion gives us, when they arc nominated, "assu rance doubly sure of victory. We want men who know and understand their business, and who can faithfully fulfil, the one the duties per taining to the Bench, the other those neccssari 1 a part of the ofiice of Canal Commissioner. With such men we can scatter the ranks of our opponents at one fell swoop," and indicate the brilliant success that awaits us in the great bat tle of November next. CQ Mr. Hugh ICirkland and another of the same stripe, both proselytes of Joe Barker, late Mayor of Pittsburg, have been preaching in llouidavsourg and Johnstown, for some days past, agains the Catholics. At both places se rious fears were entertained for a fuss. Happi ly, however, but little disturbance took place. We do not admire that system of charity which induces a man to travel through the country a busing any sect, denomination, or set of men, and if the people would but treat such charac t s with that silent contempt which their con duct deserves, there would be an end of all such humbuggery. 'CQLynde Eliot, Esq., has retired from Ifce editorial department of the Pittsburg Union He has conducted the paper well and proven himself an efficient writer. He has our best wishes for success in whatever he may engage. The paper 'will be conducted by the remaining proprietors, and continue to be ns formerly an Pxccll?nt one. Roll on the Ball. Some day next week a "Pierce and King pole" will be raised at the foot of Plane No. 4, by the enthusiastic Democracy of Washington township. tremendous gathering will be on the ground. The "New Hampshire Volunteer" will have a large majority in this county, the declarations of the gentleman in Summcrhill township to the Hollidaysburg Whig that 20 Democrats in that township were for Scott, to the contrary not withstanding. Speaking of those 29, reminds us of the fact that we have seen such a statement in several whig papers accompanied by the as sertion that Cambria is good for Scott. Dear whigs, "lay not that flattering unction to your sould," for as su-c as the Sun shines hereafter "Little Cambria" is good for from 5o0 to COO for Pierce and King. The "Slountnin Democracy" have several ob jections against Gen. Scott, which must deter every member of the Democratic party from cas ting a vote for him. They are well aware of the fact that every war in which Gen. Scott gained a laurel was declared by a Democratic adminis tratronjpkupported by the same and condemned in strong terms by the whig parly. The Mexi can war was stated to be by the whig press, an unjust, accursed, bloody, iniquitous, God-abhored and dammed war! The whig party was desirous of welcoming Gen Scott and his soldiers with triotic the whig party ! Now it is nothing but j f!l,vnKr.cf. ChnnuUeneo. Vera Cruz. .fee. O " ' what a different cry from that of five years sim.-e. auu, .uC m.uj vu.. "Come one and all, and help to roll on the Chippewa ball." It is a great pity, so it is, that "one and all" of the whig party did not try to roll on the balj during the war ot lbll:-14, instead ol saying as Josiah Quincy, a prominent whig did, "If the legions cf Great Britain were thundering at the gates of the Capitol, I would not vote a dollar for supplies to the American .Army." Gen. Scott must clear himself of Native Americanism before the "Mountain Democracy" can vote for Inm. He has been in favor of excluding all for. eigncrs from the rights of citizenship, and again in favor of debnring all aliens from the right to vote except such as shall have served in the ar- my or navy two years. He has been in favor of a National Bank and the Bankrupt Law. He has stated over his own signature that he should rbiim tn bft the founder of the Native American Party. These we take to be sufiicient reasons for every Democrat to vote against Gen. Scoti and we have yet to hear that there are any De mocrats in Cambria who are not the firm and , unflinching friends of Pierce and King and in- tend to go their might to elect them. Rolj'bery. On Sunday forenoon the house of Mrs. Teresa Scr.nlan, three miles east of this place, was bro ken into by s6me person or persons while the family were at church at Lorctte, and robbed of gold and silver to the amount of 200, and an old fashioned English watc h, silver capped, with steel chain and key attached.

S. steamer Missis sippi fired a salute on Monday, and that Com modore Perry was received by a guard of honor. The News states that an American Revenue Cutter was cruising about the Fishing Grounds, giving warning to American fishermen who were within limits. A dinner and ball is to be given io the officers of the Mississippi. Twelve large American vessels were at anchor in the harbor of St. John. The Mississippi will proceed to Halifax, and probably to St. John, New Found land, and return to New York about the first of September. Commodore Perry and Captain Adams proceeded to FrcJerickton on Tuesday. Parson Brownlow in Favor. To show that the administration at Washing ton approves his course, parson Brownlow writes the annexed little notice : "Wc have been kindly and respectfully noti fied this week, by Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, that our paper is selected for publishing j the Orders, Resolutions, and Laws, passed ring the 1st Session of the 32d Congress: and also all public Treaties entered into and ratified by the United States." ? The above named gentleman is the editor of a paper that is saying more hard things of Scott, than any other paper in the Union and, as Mr. Webster nas chosen him to publish the Laws and Treaties, of course he endorses his opposition i to Scott, in which Mr. Fillmore no doubt hearti- j I 1 ly concurs. was in a room on the second floor of the house of Dr. Geltner, a short distance from the tavern of Abraham Ilause, the father-in-law of Geltner.

The Albany Register, a Scott paper, throws the following heavy bolt at the phusillanimou.s small fry among Whig editors, who are continu ally villifying and slandering Gen. Pierce, "c commend it to tin? notice of some fulk.s in Penn- sy.vai.ia. an particularly to our neighbor ofj"."'"5" '"'J- ucr the Herald : "We are not among those who believe that political capital is to be made by an attempt at ridiculing Gen. Pierce's military career in Mex ico, or calling in question his bravery. We have no doubt whatever of his courage, or of his disposition to discharge, faithfully and weV, his duties a3 a military man, to the extent of his abilities, in times of battle and dancrer. The fact that he fell from his horse, or that he fainted, is no proof of cowardice ; and use that some of the Whig papers are making of these circumstances- will, we apprehend, bring more discredit upon them then injure Gen. Pierce. Humphrey Marshall, They say, Is going Minister to China, resigning his seat in the House the salary of that Mis sion being raised from 0,000 to $9,000 per annum,with a $9,000 outfit. There must be some mistake here. There is a document open before us entitled "The Constitution of the Uni ted States," not yet obseieie, however it mar be practically regarded at Washington which ex- du-!prcssly says Aet. 1. Sec. C. "No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he is elected, be appointed to any civil office which shall have been created or the emoluments thereof shall have been increased during such time." Of course, Mr. Marshall ccn't have that 18,000. It would puzzle even a Double Mi lcage Senator to get in under color of law. r t-. r " ' rioune. General Pierce.

One would say, not knowing who he was, that he was a clever, companionable man, but capa b'e of strong and intense passions when arous t 1. General Pierco talks vtith ea?e and fucnev, i-srng racy English, but in a soft, low voice, v.hich gives you that impressions of cautious ness and reserve habitual with almost all polit icians, lis is exceedingly amiable and courte ous, r.nd makes friends of thoe who come in personal contact with him. He has none of that hauteur or mock-dignity which some men would put on in his position, and, on the ot'aer h ind, none of the embarrassment and constraint ; his movements. He srocs about freelv. chattin? Tv-tb those who address him, in a playful and fa- j llli:iar amI oceas;onally bin Lcartn nt eonie jest which he himself, or somebody else j i,as related. In a word, then, he seems to be a 'riain modcst and sensible man, who will wear his h loners, if successful, without ostentation. o ' Tlie ewort DiflicuHy. Correspondence of the Boston Tost. Ocean House, Xcirport, Aug. Oth, 1So2. Outrageous attack upon a Southern a mob hundreds of Southerners leaving. This unusu ally quiet village was this morning full of ex citement, occasioned by an attack of waiters up on the person of E. M. Yergcr, Esq., a yourg plr.ntcr from the south. The circumstances are as follows : On Sunday at dinner, Mr. Verger was helping some lady friends to a dish, when a waiter attempted to take it, from his hands. Ho very promptly raided the case-knife wLich lie hold, and struck the waiter's face. The waiter w.i:3 taken from the room, and dinner went on as usual. The next moaning, Mr. Verger went to breakf.ut, and being seated, discovered a movement among the waiters, and haingarm f d himself in anticipation of attack, he prepa- 1 for self-defence. He held a pistol in each ! hand, and as the mob advanced be told them ithat he would kill the first man who camewitliln The cry of "Southrons" was immediately 'made, whereupon Col. Christy, of Kentucky, Lieut. Nelson, of the navy, Mr. Polle d, of Al abama, and many other friends of Mr. V. came to the rescue. Tlie mob was kept at bnv by Mr. Verger's pistols until he was surrounded by lis friends ; he wns thus deprived of the use cf !iis arms, rnd the mob closed upon him. A pis ol was wrenche d from his right hand, the guarl u r i r i mi . I. . got possession oi tne pistol made several ni lempts to fire upon Mr. Yergcr, but was pre vented from fear of killing some one of his ac complices. Mr. Yergcr was taken from the room by his friends, vi et armies, and the waiters were soon expelled by the remaining southern ers. They gathered, however, in another part of the house, and being in number about a hun dred, created great consternation among the la dies. Mr. Yergcr was compelled to leave the place by advice of hi3 friends, about fifty of whom accompanied him. Many Southerners arc still preparing to leave. Mr. Weaver did all ho could to arrest the movement, but being a man of not much decision, he of course failed. I must say that if guests are to be thus treated whilst visi ting Newport for health or pleasure, it would bo wise for them to remain at home. I undcrstanl the mob have threatened the lives of Col. Chris ty and Lieut. Nelson, who were warm personal friends of Mr. Y., and stood by him in the miJs't of the difficulty. Several waiters were knocked down whilst attempting to follow Mr. Verger to his room. Altogether we have had an exciting time truly disgraceful and outrageous roa the feelings of the visiters. Yours, truly, Boston.
