COUATY CONVBATION,
Democratic Illarrison Meeting
The citizens of the several township;
and borough of this county, are requested
to meet at their usual places of meeting,
on Saturday, the 6th day of August, to
elect two Delegates from each of said
townships and boroughs, to represent them
in the County Convention, which will
meet in the borough of Huntingdon, on
Wednesday. the 11th of August,
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, to nominate
a County Ticket, to be supported by the
opponents of the present State administra
tion, at the coining election, and also to
appoint Congressional and Senatorial con. /
ferees.
By order of the County Committee.
THOS. FISHER, Chairman,
July 19th, 1842.
o::rAdvertisments, notices, &c., must
be handed in before 8 o'clock on Tuesday
morning, in order to secure their puhlica
tion in the Journal of the following Wed
nesday morning. Our friends will do
well to remember this.
Important from Mexico.
We have the gratifying intelligence that
all the prisoners taken is the Santa Fe
expedition have been set at liberty. They
were released on the 18th of June, the
Lirth-day ol Santa Anna. A list of them
Is published, among which, we regret to
ray, the name of Capt. John Holliday dovs
not appear. Samuel Flenner, the tither
native of this county, was killed by the
Indians before the capture. The fate ol
Holliday is unknown to us. Perhaps he
has gone to the "spirit land."
Louisiana Election.
The latest news from New Orleans, in
relation to this election is, that MOUTON,
the Locofoco candidate, is elected Gov
ernor, by about 500 majority. The Whigs
have a majority of 6 in the House of Re
presentatives, and there are four counties
yet to hear from, which it is supposed will
give them 2 more. The Whigs have also
a majority of 1 in the Senate, with a pros
pect of gaining another.—So it is certain
they can elect a U. S. Senator.
Conspiracy Case.
The proprietors of the Forwarding
Lines, at Pittsburg were t ecently indictril
in that city for a conspiracy to keep up th,
prices at freight on the Canal. The trial
excited much interest, and resulted in
conviction of the defendants. 'l•he Pitts
burg American Manufacturer" say's:—
" From the information brought nut OP
this trial we have no doubt but there is a
similar combination in Philadelphia. In
the constitution produced at the trial, the
following is one of the regulations:
" 10th. No proprietor, agent, clerk, or
any person for them, shall make contracts
for goods going westward, at any rate or
rates less than estalished at the place of
shipment, 4.e."
The papers state that the persons convic•
fed were sentenced as follows :Peter Graff,
Robt. S. Hays, George Black, N‘'illiarn
Bingham, Luke Taatfe, and 'l'. C. Mc-
Dowell, each $lOO fine and 2 months'
imprisonment; James Cowan, $lO fine
and 2 months' imprisonment; Samuel M.'
Kier, $5O fine and 2 months' imprison•
ment ; John McFadden, $l5O fine and 2
weeks' imprisonment.
IVeu• rapers.
We have received the lit and 2nd
Nos. of a hew paper, published at Lewi,
town, Pa., by Messrs. MERKLEIN and Len
ART, entitled the "Independent Press."—
It professes to support the interests of the
Workingmen and oppose corporatiunt
parties and factions.
We have also before us the Ist No. vl
the " Anchor," a new Temperance paper,
by T. Taylor, hailing from York, Pa.
The " Pioneer" is the title of Papa
recently established at Newville, Cum
berland county, Pa.
May they flourish like green Bay trees,
without experiencing the frosts and blights
of adversity.
Some heavy seizures of smuggled goods
have been 'nude at Ningra and Chippewa.
The Investigation.
The Joint Committee of the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, appointed to investigate
whether - any corrupt means have at any
time been employed by the Banks for the
purpose of infitincing the actions of the l
Legislature, or any other Department of
the State Government, in regard to any leg
, illation for their benefit, have reported.
Mr. Lowry, one of the Committee, has
also made a minority report, for the spe•
vial purpose, apparently, of tehaerrashiug
! the Executive. The letters and testimony
produced before the Committee, in the
course of the investigation, accompany the
majority report, and will be published.—
We have a copy of the reports before us,
and will endavor to Journelize them, is,'
whole or in past, as soon as we can make
room for them.
In the mean time, we will merely ask
our readers to bear in mind, that the Coni•
mittee confined themselves chiefly to
transactions at Harrisburg during the
session of 18:39-4O, when the Loco Foci)
party had a majority in both branches ul
the Legislature, as well as the Covet nor.
That a bill providing for the immsdiate
resumption of specie payments was then in
progress in the Legislature; that the Gov
ernor killed it with a special message,
" regardless of denunciation from any
quarter," though to the great astonishment
of his party; and that, subsequently bolas
M. BELL, le:sq. who at that time represen
ted this district in the Senate, introduced
the suspension recitations which passed
finally at that session.
The Investigating Committee was corn
posed of Messrs. Deford, Lowry and
Penniman, (Loco Fucoe) and Sharswood
and Ewing (Whigs,) and to us It seems
that they have treated the subject in all
fairness, and in strict accordance with
the rules of evidence; and in that leinent
and merciful spirit which inculcates the
humane doctrine that it is better that
ninety and nine guilty m'n should cue ape
' , kin that one innocent win .sh Jul l supr.l
'The Committee say n that the mink to die'
United Stales attempted, and intended
etirrupt ion and bribery, but that there is nn
evidence before the Committee that a single I'
dollar was ever paid out by the agent or I
agents to any Iptly for that purpose, direct-1
Iy or indirectly." The report shows clearly
land conclusively, that the sum of Z 151,175
was paid to the agents of the Batiks;
, vhich is traced to the hands of Daniel NI.
Brodhead; and there the investigation
stops—he having left the State anal gone
to parts unknown, evidently to avoid the
Sergeant.at..Arins who was in pursuit of
him, with an attachment. Joseph Salinas
and George Read no doubt know what
disposition was made of the money ; yet
they profess total forgetfulness and loss of
memory; and so the secret remains buried
in their bosoms, and the public are left to
'judge whether to the crime of fraud and
corruption they have not added the deeper
anal more damning ciirre of prrjury.—
When the letters and the evidence are
published, the people will be able to
whether the accused are clear of all sus
picion, or whether the investigation and
:Iv , manner in which those implicated tes.
lifted or gave " leg bail." does not co, .
firin, anal establi.ll as truth the auspicio,s
(that went abroad among the people.
Fire.
On Saturday night last, at abort eight
o'clock, the slat tling cry of fire: fire!:
fire:!!" rung thtoigh our streets, and in
few moments more, the glare of the confla
gration dazzled every eyr, and refle:trdi
from the dear blue heavens. The ahule
town was in commotion. The engin,
were brought out; and men and toys,
tio
men and gills ran with buckets and pails
mil tubs &c. to the seat of the cosuming
element, and all speedily busied them
selves in the various means of checking
mil extinguishing its ravages.
The fire broke out in the stable of
Philip Shultz, and was soon communica
ted to the large new stable of Thomas
Nallace. or the Washington lintel, and to
lie brick house of Thomas Fisher, on the
West, and the Washington Hotel on Ih
East. 'flip statics, together with their
:ontents, except horses and cows, were
omit to ashes, and the houses cunsidera•
lily damaged —the root and upper story of
moth being destroyed by the fire. Same
rt the furniture in the houses sustained
.onstde•able injury. The stable of Mr.
Shultz was filled with the crops of the
present year, and the stable of Mr. Wal
lac, with hay, straw arid 001.. The store
and dweding of h% tiii tin Stewart and the
house of David Snyder, on the opposite'
side of the stieet, were also in imminent
danger, tl.e rook of which took fire sod
are cont.itlerulq burnt. NohumanAleans
but the activity of out• citizens, and the
nearness of the Canal could have saved
the lower portion of the town from total
destruction.
The origin of the fire is not known; but )
several rumors are afloat about it, the
moat probable of which t., the eartlessness
land neglect of boys—that fruitful source
of evils.
It is not yet quite two }ears since a fir,
l.truke out in the saute place which des•
'tr,,yed two stables which stood where
these were afterwards built, and which
injured the horses on evlter sole, but not
to quite so great an extent as did this.
o::rThe Tariff 13;11 which lately passed
the lower noose of Conaress is still under
consideration in the S, n ite.
Loco Foco Consistency.
" Corruption is no part of the democrat
ic creed, and this is on, rea•on win they
aro :0 UNIFORMLY FOUND cippo-
SED to our present b inking system."
We cut the above four lines from the
" Clinton County Democrat," the Lion of
the Democracy in little Clinton, and our
Imp" translates them as follows, in or
der to make common sense :--"Corruption
is no plait of the democratic creed, and
this is the r:ason why the' DEMOCRATIC
cnne.n,' or the DEMOCRATS or CORRUPTION
--(don't know exactly which) is so uni
formly opposed to our present bunking spa
tam." Now, taking this to be the meaning
of our Loco Four contemporary—and by
the bye, "democratic creed," and "demo
crats" and ' , corruption" all mean thesame
thing—we will cull his attention to the
uniform opposition which his political
friends so unilbrmly make against the
present banking system:
On Saturday the 16t) inst. a bill to ex-I

MR. CRENER
•In the Senate, yesterday,
the bill to dispose of the Delaware Divi
sion to a Company, for 2,000,000 was
taken up, and amended, and passed
through second and final reading. Yeas
20, nays 10.
The omnibus bill of divorces, &c. which
was lust a short time ago, was again taken
up in the Senate and some time spent on
it. After loading it still more heavily, it
was lost on a motion to transcribe it for
'third reatiing.
In the House, the amendments to the l
bill providing for the education of poor.
children in the non-accepting districts
and for other purposes, were then taken
up. Mr. Stevens clfeted an amendment
appropriating Pennsylvania's share of the
proceed; of the Public Lands to the pay
ment of Domes' ic Creditors. This amend
ment was adopted. A proviso was then
'tided, on motion of Mr. Wright, to the
effect that if the proceeds of the Pantie
Lands %hall tint be received before the
2.0 it of +kazoo. next, OW the claims ill
Cuntraciors shall be paid out of any
money in the Treasury nut specifically
• •
ppropn a led.
In the Senate, today, the bill from the
!louse incorporating the North Branch
Canal Company, passed final reading,
after being amended. Yeas 20, Nays 6.
And the bill to extend the charter of the
Farmer's Bank of Bucks county passed
third reading by a vote of 13 to 12, and
was sent back to the [louse.
In the House the proviso in the law
labolishing imprisonment fur debt, which
required twenty days residence, was re
pealed by a joint resolution. The Senate
have not acted on this resolution yet, but
will probably adopt it soon.
The bill to stay executions for one year,
unless the property siezed bring two-thirds
of its appraised value, came up—the House
concurred in the amendille nts of the Seri
ate; and the bill will probably receive the
signature of the Executive and become a
law in a day or two.
The Apportionment Bill is still in the
hands or the Committee of Conference.
Yours, &c.

MR. CRAM ER :
The proceedings of the
Senate of yesterday possesses little or no
interest. Bills of a local and private
character were discussed, and some pass
ed. The bill returned from the House
with an amendment, providing for the
payment of the Domestic Creditors, out
of the proceeds of the Public Lando kc.
was discussed till the hour ofadjournment.
. . ...
In the House the Committee or Confer
ence on the Apportionment Bill reported
that they could not agree, and were dis
charged from the further consideration ul
the subject.
The Senate bill providing for the edu
cation of poor children in the non-accep
ting districts passed the House, with
amendments, and was returned to the
Senate.
The remainder of the session was spent
in considering the Apportionment Bid
offered by Mr. Clark, which was finally
lost.
In the Senate, today, the bill from the
House repealing the law abolishing im
pri.onnu•nt for debt, which requires twen
days residence passed final reading.
The Appropriation Bill was then taken
up and discussed until the hour of ad•
journment.
The House was occupied, chiefly, in
considering the Apportionment Bill. A
motion was made to re-consider the vote ,
given yesterday, by which Mr. Clark's
bill was lust. Numerous bills were then
offered as substitutes, but voted down,
when at last a bill was agreed to. Hun
tingdon, Centre and Union form the 14th
District by this bill. No one knows how
it will be received in the Senate.

CREMER:
The Appropriation 13111
(*.vim the House was almost the only busi
ness before the Senate yesterday. Several
amendments were offered and debated,
and some of them adopted. The bill
passed second trading.
The Apportionment Bill from the House
was then taken up and debated till the
hour of adjournment.
The House was occupied chiefly in dis
cussing resolutions offered relative to a
communication from the Attorney General
on the subject of his being implicated in
the Lumber business." The (louse
granted the Attorney General leave to
withdraw the communication.
The Governor has signed the supple
ment to the act abolishing imprisonment
for debt.
In the Senate the Appropriation Bill
came up again this morning, on third
reading, when it was defeated by a lie
vote —l6 yeas and 16 nays. A good deal
of business was transacted that is of little
interest to the general reader.
In the [louse, the Apportionment Bill
as i eturned from the Senate was taken up.
The House refused to concur in the .S'ens

COUMUNICATIONS.
HARRISBURG, July IG, 1842
MR. CREMER
I have put off writing until
this late hour (10f o'clock) in order to be
able to give you, in addition to the doings
of the Legislature, an account of the Clay
meeting which came oWin the Court House
in this borough to-night.
The meeting was large, respectable and
enthusiastic. Mr. ROBERT HARRIS, one
,if the oldest, roost popular and substan
tial Whigs in the county, and whose
character is a sure guarantee of the cause,
presided, assisted by a number of good
and influential citizens as Vice President.:
and able and efficient Secretaries. The
crowd that assembled at the ringing of the
bell, was composed of citizens of all
classes, among whom I recognized many
of those who constitute the very bone and
sinew of our country—the Farmer, the
Mechanic, the Workingman, and the man
of Industry in all its multifarious ramifi
cations. The veteran fathers, of three
scare and ten, and the young men just
arrived at the years of maturity, ancious
to deposite their maiden votes" in favor
of the candidate who is emphatically the
3 oung man's friend," were there, parta
king in the measures and movements of
the meeting. JOHN A. Fuosixa, Esq.
chairman of a committee appoieted for
that purpose, reported a preamble and
resolutions, in which the committee take
strong ground in favor of a Protective
Earlll, the Distribution Act, and in which
they look to Henry Clay as the "Polar
Star" to lead us out of our national diffi
culties to safety and prosperity. The
!fleeting was addressed in a masterly style,
by THOMAS E. COCHRAN, Senator from
York county, and E. Joy MORRIS, of Phil
adelphia city, member of the H. R. While
tite latter gentlemen was addressing the
meeting in his most eloquent strains, some
of the Locos who had mixed with the
crowd, in order to create disturbance,
raised a cry of fire; but the cry of " false
alarm" quickly succeeded, and it was
seen and felt that there was more fire in
the Court House than out of it. The
speaker, in the midst of the noise and bus
tle, was heard to exclaim—" Stay, we
shall soon get up a fire among the people
that will be no false alarm !" Immense
cheering followed, and the meeting went
on in real Harrison fashion.
There is a powerful feeling in favor of
Henry Clay prevailing the country. We
have now two thorough going Clay papers
in this borough—the " Capitolian" lately
established, and the "Intelligencer" an
old and influential paper which has thrown
off Tyler and declared for " Harry of the
West." And lam glad to ace that a
good feeling is maintained between the
respective friends of General Scorr and
Mr. CLAY. It requires no prophet to pre
dict that in 1844 the great Harrison party
will again be united, and work, aide by
side, in the cause of the country.
Yours, &c
No. HI.
The cause of the hard limes,
I have said that we were a people of
impulse. That popular excitements have
too often ran away with the judgments of
oar eitizens, and that they did not reflect•
aftet the strife was over. Look back and.
gee it I tell the truth. When the U.S,
Bank was first assailed, the leaders of the .
Jackson party said it was slander to say
that Jackson would veto it. But he did
veto it, arid every partisan exclaimed--
"down with the monster." They were
led by the shoots of party against "Bank
rogs"—"rog Barons"—" monied aristoe-•
rary," and their shouts in favor of "gold
currency"-- 'Jackson shiners"—" Benton
mint.drops," and the "poor against the
rzeh," misled the unreflecting, and like
an overwhelming wave, buried every thing
beneath it. The elections were carried
by such inflamable nonsense, which was
in the mouth of every party hack. But
with the shout and its echo all was forgot
ten. Where is now the promised "hard
currency,"—the present is hard enough it
is true,—but where is the gold and silver
which was to be received by the poor man
for his toil!
Have you, fellow citizens, forgotten all
this? You who gloried in your victories•
.it the elections. Let me ask you—did
you ever look back over the scene ? Da
,you not remember you were then told
that our currency would be ruined—that
shinplasters and suspended bank notes
would be all we could get, and but few of
them 1 The excitement of party strife
has made many forget, and the remainder
deny this. Don't you remember that in
1887, when the first suspension took place :
you and your party charged that on Ritner
and his party? You did not reflect that
it was the result of your own conduct;
and even now you are willing to change
your tune and say this present suspension
—now a pretended resumption—is charge
able to that party which have had no power
either at Washington or Harrisburg; and
many of you, urged by the shout of party,
are now willing to say that Bank corrup
tion has done it all. Little do you think
that your original cries of "Jackson Hum
bug,' have been the fruitful source of all
our present and previous evils.
Again, an attack was made by the south
upon the Tariff system—and party drill,
party policy, and party villany triumphed
over this sheet anchor of our prosperity.
The same old cry of the 'pour again: the
rich" was kept up by exciting the laboring
class to believe that the necessaries of life
were to bear the heaviest tax and the lux
uries the lightest. The bait, gilded with
such nonsense, was snapped up by the
gudgeons of party—and the American
system fell beneath the blow ; and Penn
sylvania and her toiling sons—her forges
—her looms--and her workshops were si
lenced by the party cringing of their own
members in Congress; and forsooth, this
Pennsylvania measure is denied because
party policy required it. Did you ever
reflect that if the tariff had been still pro
tective, that our mechanics would be the
very men who would prosper, and the la
bor of the ten cent a day paupers of Europe
would not come in competition with them
--that instead of sending the gold and
silver out of the country it would be kept
in, and that instead of having an exhaust
ed treasury, and a large debt, the revenge
would have been ample to carry on the
Government—stealings and all. Aed
even now can be seen the tricks of party
drill to deceive. Find a leader who has
formerly been one of the Anti Bank, Aej
