By order of the County Committee, THEO. H. CREMER. Chairman. May 29, 1944, We tender our thanks to the Hon. JAMES Inv Ls, Hon. E. Joe Mona's, Hon. A. R. VAINE and Hon. Joss Wm..., for their attention to US. raj Tile Locofocos held their National Conven tion in Baltimore, on Monday last, to nominate can didates for President and Vice President. We can not, as yet. say whether it ended in fair or unfair nominations or in a regular blow up"—but wo consider the latter the most likely. Mn. Czevza, of Carlisle, made a splendid aacension in Lis balloon, from Harrisonburg, Va., on the Bth inst. Ho landed in Culpepper county, 75 or SO miles from his place of ascension, having travelled that distance in one hour and ten minutes! Ho describes it as a most interesting trip. lie con templates an ascension from Carlisle shortly. Gov. Cass and Texas, Gen. Lewis Case, one of the dozen of Locofoco candidates for the Preiitleney, has published a letter " about" the immediate annexation of Term to the United States. The Washington correspondent of the Untted States Gazette, in noticing the letter,. No new move has been made that I know of since my hist, save the publication of Gov. Cass's letter in favor, and nor in favor, of immediate an nexation. I understand this is the third he has written on the subject, the other two not being ;satisfactory. The Governor is very accommodating in expressing his opinions, and is evidently playing for tho Presidential nomination which he will not get; at least I judge 81.1 trout present appearances.— The Nashville Union, the organ of Gen. Jackson and Gov. Polk, i observe, conies out in favor of the views of Mr. Van Buren and Col. Benton era the reject of annexation. The annexation people arc playing a bold and desperate game to defeat the nomination of Mr. Van Buren, but I sin inclined to believe they will not succeed."

They were held to bail in $3,000 each. Important Arrest of an Irish Rioter.—A young Irishman, about nineteen yearn of age, named lames Lawson, was arrested on the 17th inst., by Sheriff's officer Stout and two of the Recorder's officers, hid in the loft of a house in Master street, between Front street and Frankford Road, Kensington. The prisoner could not walk—having been shot through one knee and wounded in the other leg—and was brought to the Recorder's office and taken from thence, after an examination, to prison, in a carriage. He is supposed to have been one of the party that fired the volley which killed young Wright. There are three witnesses who testify to seeing him fire three guns. His father, the day after he was woun ded, conveyed him out of the city, first to Frankford, then to Manayunk, and afterwards to Moymensing, but being unable to prevail upon any family to take care of him, was obliged to bring him back to Ken sington and conceal him. Another Rioter.—A weaver living near Fair mount, named James Paul, was committed by the Recorder on the 19th, in default of 5000 dollars bail, on a charge of actively participating in the Kensington riots. Committed.--A marl named Patrick O'Neal was committed to prison by Alderman Boileau on the the 19th, for being concerned in the Kensington riots. Also a man named James Bell, was com mitted by the same magistrate, who is charged with having participated in the weaver's riots in Ken sington, in April last. Another Rioter.—An Irishman named John Laverty, was arrested in Kensington on the 20th, and put under $lOOO bail, before Alderman Cloud, on a charge of taking a conspicuous part in the attack on the Native Americans. Bound Over.—A young man named John M. Jones was taken before the Mayor on the 21st, char ged on the oath of Michael Oregon with making threats to destroy the property, and with being en gaged as the deponent believed, in the late riots at Kensington. The testimony against the accused was of a strong character, and was held to bail in $lOOO for a further hearing. Conviction and Sentence of Rioters.—George Ruffle, Wm. Robison, Samuel Daly, Chas. While, Thomaa Evett, Charles Rose, arid Alex. Gilleland— all young men—were convicted in the Court of Quarter Sessions on the 21st, of riots and assault and battery upon officer M'Calvy, in the district of Kensington, on Easter Sunday last. Sidney Ruffle, a sister of the first named defendant, tried with the young men for the same offence, was also convic ted. Daly, Gilliland, White and Robinson were adjudged each to pay a fine of five dollars, and un dergo sixty days' imprisonment. Evett was sen tenced to pay five dollars fine and twenty days im prisonment, and Ruffle to one dollar fine and ten days' imprisonment. The female was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty dollars and costs. Rose did not appear.—Museum. Gen. Markle at Home. The editor of the Miner's Journal of Pottsville, says that he lately conversed with a gentleman from Westmoreland county, a near neighbor of Gen. Murkier. " l.liough oppo,,eil to the General in politics, ha adwita thut if elected, Ire will make star of the inert upright, honed and copulde Govern°. Pennsylvania ever had. " Ho said he was astonished to hear the num°, our charges made by his Locofoco brethren with regard to his capacity ; and admitted that these charger would only have the tendency of swelling his vote at home among his friends and neighbors. "They could differ with him honestly in politics —but they could not, or would not permit one who had rendered such important services to his country in time of need, to be traduced even by their own party." Such is the feeling of the honest and right min : ded of all parties. Let the Locofoco presses go on in their dirty work of slander, misrepresentation and detraction. The people of Pennsylvania will vin dicate their llero, in a way that will cover them I and their backsliding Parson with shame, mortifica- I non and defeat ! The Plans of the Locofocos, The Washington Standard has by the indiscre tion of an individual, been put in possession of the plan by which the Locofoco leaders intend to defeat Mr. Clay and the Whigs, and it is in perfect keep ing with all their practices,which always belie their professions. We have but room to-day to give the Standard's information without comment, except to say it looks locofocoieh ! The plan is, to run two candidates, a Northern and Southern ; both of whom are to be nominated by different sections of the Baltimore Convention, to be held on Monday next. The members of that Convention will dis agree in regard to the candidate : in this there will be no sham, for the leaders themselves could not prevent it. But out of this disagreement success is to be secured : and how ? A portion of the Con vention will, after a boisterous session, and the ex hibition of discord and confuson from which the uninitiated would infer the utter explosion, disrup tion and annihilation of the party, secede, and both section. will then nominate separate candidatea,ap wend), in opposition to each other : but with an understanding among the leaders, those in the plot, that the one shall be run at the South upon southern principles, and the other at the North upon northern principles, with the view of taking States from Mr, Clay at the South which a Northern man could not get, and by this means bring the election into the House, where, it is the plan that the party shall unite on the one which has the highest electoral vote, and by this means defeat Mr. Cloy.—Forum.

Now, if he lost One Hundred and Ten votes in four years, how near will he come by the same rule, to get 138 in 1844? Tribune. From the Forum . News From Texas, The Steamship New York, which arrived at New Orleans on the 13th May, brought Galveston dates to the 11th inst. As every item of news from this quarter now possesses an interest in connection with the efforts of President Tyler, we give our readers all the intelligence which the New Orleans papers afford. The Galveston News of the 30th ult., speaks thus favorably of the terms of the treaty. This is nothing remarkable, but any objection to those terms on the part of Texas, would have struck us as passing strange. The News says: Gen. Houston, we learn, is highly pleased with the treaty and speaks in very flattering terms of the magnanimity displayed by the United States gov ernment in the terms submitted in the treaty. This we consider is exceedingly propitious to the project, as heretofore apprehensions have been entertained that difficulties would have arisen in the adjustment of terms." The Civilian of the Ist inst. does not look upon the project as being in so propitious an attitude, but says "our ministers are not sanguine of the ratifi cation of the Senate, though President Tyler and Mr. Calhoun appear to be so." This agrees with the opinion we expressed yesterday, that the Texi ans understood the propensities and characteristics of the Tyler crops diplomatic. But we find mat ters even worse for our national honor than we ex pected, for not only has Tyler sued to Texas, but Texas has absolutely forced a reluctant compliance with the terms she had dictated to the b. Slates! The Civilian professes to possess, and doubtless does, a pretty correct knowledge of the position of the negotiation between the two countries and the nature of the most recent advises received by the Government of Texas from the United States, and thus fortified with the facts, it says: Th e United Stales govern ment,we understand , at length, though reluctantly, complied with all the conditions re ti. by that of Texas, pre limincry to entering into negotiation, for an. vexation. The head-quarters of Gen. Gaines are to be made at Fort Jessup, on the frontier of Texas, where three regiments of Infantry and the 21 regi ment of Dragoons are to be stationed, and the re maining disposable force under his command is to 1,0 distributed at various points along the line, while a fleet of ten sail is to occupy the Gulf; and notice is to be given to Mexico that any denumstration against Texas, " during the pendency of negolia lions," will be considered as against tire U. States, and treated accordingly. This is very pleasant while it lasts, as the Scotehrnan said when midway on his fall from the fourteen story house; but bow long is it to last, and what is to be the result, we are not prepared to predict." The Civilian also publishes a copy of the order of the Commander in Chief, dated April 11th, di recting the 3d Regiment Infantry, then at Jefferson Barracks to proceed to Port Jessup, and says that it "manifests a readiness on the part of the 11. States Government to comply with what are understood to be the obligations recently entered into with this country." One more feature in this recent news is worthy attention. The U. S. steamer Poinsett put in for fuel at Galveston on the 7th, and lett that day for Vera Cruz. The News says :—Mr. Thompson, the special and confidential agent of the Depart ment of State, accredited to the Government of Mexico, it is supposed, with despatches from the Mexican Minister at Washington, and instructions from the United States Government in relation to the treaty of annexation, was a passenger." In re lation to the mission and the agent, the Civilian furnishes the following information: It is stated that Mr. Thompson, who has gone to Mexico upon the steamer Poinset, is charged with important negotiations from the United States. Two millions of the indemnity due and acknowledged to the United States remain unpaid, while four mil lions more of claims, the justice of which is said to he undoubted, remain unaitusted, for the pay-' ment of all of which, in some way, the American Government is said to be unwilling longer to wait, as justice to her citizens has long since demanded that they should be satisfied. ft is reported that the United States Government is no longer willing to admit the claim of Mexico to Texas, yet a very liberal allowance (to be paid by the assumption on the part of the United States of debts due her citi zens from Mexico) would be made for the relin quishment, by Mexico, of her title to the territory in dispute between her and Texas, including all ever claimed by this Government. IMPORTANT Daciermv.—The General Confer ence of the Methodist Church, lately it: session at New York, were for several days occupied with the vexed question of slavery. The Baltimore Confer ence had suspended one of its ministers, a Mr. Har ding, for becoming an owner of slaves. An appeal was taken to the highest judicatory in the church, and that body has now confirmed the decision of the Baltimore Conference by the decisive vote of 117 to 56.—Phila. Main, MEXICO, The T. 7. S.Guetts save:—We have received oJr mauler flies of the "Diario del Gobierno," front the City of Mexico, to the24th ult. The injustice of the Annexation of Texas is largely dwelt upon, and its improbabilities well canvassed. As the "Diario del Gobierno" is literally Me government paper, it is to be presumed that the lately much boasted of influence of Gen. Jackson over Santa Anna does not extend to the question of annexa tion at least. Were we to judge from the tone in which mention is made of "Mr. Tyler" and the "ya poce que le falta pars dejar de ser presidents," (the little time remaining of his Presidency) we might be confident that the sympathies of the Re public of Mexico are not at all enlisted in behalf of any project of the aforesaid " Mr. Tyler." In the advice to the United States to look after Oregon in preference to Texas, as far as regards English influence, there is much of pithy truth. In the City of Mexico, itself, every thing is quiet. In the "Senate," the discussion of the "retail law" still excited much feeling In the House of Repre sentatives, the leading measure was a project of colonizing in Tobacco a thousand Swiss or German families. In the departments of Durango, Zacatecas, Gu anajuato, and San Luis Potosi, tranquility had been effectually restored. LIGHTNING. "If you can see the flash, you have nothing to fear, was wont to be the remark of those who would encourage the timid in the midst of the tempest.— And Pope, acting upon the same principle, says: " That sees no more the stroke, nor feels the pain, Than favored man by touch etherial slain." But it seems there are some exceptions to this rule, and that the lightning sometimes lingers in its course, and allows of a sight of its splendor, before it imparts a feeling of its force. The following is from the Cincinnati Messenger : " During the storm on 'Wednesday evening, a servant girl in the employ of Charles Libeau, on Third street, was stunned by lightning. She was on the roof of a house, in the act of taking a feath er bed, which she had in her arms, out of the rain. She saw the flash, and heard the report, and then became unconscious from the stunning effect of the electric fluid, and fell through the door into the house, in a state of perfect insensibility. Several remedies were proposed and tried to resuscitate her, but the application of ice water was found to be the most effectual. There are no marks upon her per son, caused by the shock, nor was there any dam age done to any of the buildings in the neighbor hood. The physician called in, reports that site would have been instantly killed, had she not been protected by the feather bed. She was perfectly helpless yesterday. The New Jersey Locofoco Jerry- wander, The State Gazette of Monday, contains a strong article, exposing the iniquity of the last Locofoco Legislature in altering the Congressional dietricts of New Jersey to suit political views. The Whig Legislature of 1839, passed a law declaring that notice of all alterations of counties should be publish .] six weeks in the counties proposed to be changed. Upon this act the people relied as an effectual pro tection ; and last Fall when the Legislature met, the whole state was uneasy and perplexed with "fear of change," they trusted still to this safeguard.— Under this law was advertised the intended union of a part of Burlington to Mercer, and in conse quence thereof, the people remonstrated so loudly that the Legislature were driven from the project. It was rumored that other alterations were to be made, but the legal notice was not given, and the 1 people fell secure. This false severity was kept up by the Legisla tore. Not a word was said in either house, not a thing was done to betray to the People the plots,which politicians were then laying in Caucus, against their interests and their established county relations.-- But suddenly ou the 15th of February the Caucus having well arranged all its plans, and prepared itself to execute them before the People could hear of them and remonstrate, opened its doors confessed I its designs, and proceeded to put them rapidly into I execution. On that day. Gen. Ihrie, the Locofoco Councillor from Warren, having given no prelimi nary notice, presented a bill drawn up and ready for passage—to repeal the law requiring six weeks' notice to the People to advertise, before any bill should be passed to atter their county lines. For this repeal not a single petition had been presented in either house. The People had ncyer heard that such a measure was imagined. But the political intriguers had prepared it in secret ccnclave. it was their will that it should he passed ; and although its very object was to abridge the People's privile ges, the mandate of the Caucus was quickly obeyed. But on the 22d of February, only eight days after it was presented, during which time the Council was in session scarcely more than four ordinary days, the bill had been referred to a committee, consid ered (!) reported back to the Council, and passed through three readings, and sent to the Assembly. Such was the zeal with which this self-styled De mocracy prosecuted a project to abridge the privi leges of the People ! Having thus released themselves of the obstacle which they feared would arise in the remonstrance of their constituents, the majority in Council procee ded rapidly to execute their designs. The bills to I repeal the notice law was not yet passed. They ' had sent it to the Assembly, but that house had not yet acted upon it. Saturday and Monday were hardly business days, yet by Wednesday morning, the mojotity had prepared, in secret, the celebrated Omnibus Bill, and on that morning, one of them, Mr. A. W. Brown, of Middlesex, presented it to Council. The Gazette promises a view of the character of this bill, and a sketch of its progress through the two houses, which in connexion with the incipient steps will afford so pretty an exemplification of po litical scouldrelism as can be imagined. Will New Jersey submit to such iniquity—such disregard of law and decency Tres "CANADIAN PATRIOTS."-II is stated offi cially in the Madisonian of Tuesday afternoon, that, at the instance of Mr. Everett, our Minister at London, her Britannic Majesty's Government has recently pardoned ten of the American citizens sen tenced, with many others, to transportation to one of the British penal settlements, for having partici pated in the political disturbances in Canada in the year 1838 ; and that orders have aecordingly been despatched to the Governor of Van Dieman's Land for the liberation of the prisoners whose names are contained in the annexed list, on the usual condi tion of good behaviour during their residence there: LI/Ir.—Hiram Sharp, John Gillman, Ira Polly, Orin W. Smith, Bemis Woodbury,Geo. T. Brown, Daniel Ludruna, Robert Q. Collins, John Thomas, and Edward A Wilson. Ex-Speaker Whitc. The lientucky " Commonwealth bus thought it proper to vindicate the reputation of the lion. John White, of Kentucky, as a person of the most gentlemanly and amiable character. The National Intelligencer truly observes that no such vindica tion can be necessary where Mr. White is known and appreciated as he deserves to be, but, as the false gloss attempted to be given by his political adversaries to a recent occurrence in the House of Representatives may possibly have some effect where he is not known, we think it due to Mr. White to transform this following remarks to our col umns, with the expression of our entire concur rence, both in the spirit and the letter of those which refer to Mr. White's personal character and qualities : From the Kentucky Commonwealth, Joav Worm:.—The Loco pressare endeavoring to transform this gentleman into a bully. We know John White intimately, and we can most conscien- tiously declare that in the characteristics of a well bred gentleman—in politeness, suavity, forbearance, prudence, good feeling and genuine amiability, all the qualities that make up the character we both respect and love, lie is unsurpassed by any mortal man. He is peculiarly distinguished in Kentucky for coolness of temper and respectfulness of bear ing. But, like every true Kentuckian, he would be as prompt to resent affront as slow to offer it. We certainly regret, as he has himself publicly regret. ted, the late occurrence in Congress. But what could the meekest man on earth do, when struck in the face but return the blow ? Had he not repelled his assailant, while, as a Christian we should have applauded his meek forbearance, there is not a wo man in the land who would not have whipped him with her garters. In eleven sessions of service, through the most ex citing periods, Mr. White, though a most decided and firm man, has never had before the slightest collision with any one; but has made himself a great personal favorite with all gentlemen of both parties. The miserable vipers of Kentucky cannot blur his name." The One Day Election Bill. The following is the bill which passed the House by the large vote of 141 to 34 : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, that the time of choosing the elec tors of President and Vice President of the United States, in each State, shall be the Tuesday next after the first Monday of November next: and after wards, except when a special election shall be held in pursuance of the tenth section of the act to which this is an amendment, the time of choosing said elec tors shall be the Tuesday next after the first Mon day of November in every fourth year succeeding the last election of said electors ; and when such special election shall be held, the time therefor shall be the Tuesday next after the first Monday of No vember in the year when the same shall be held persuant to the section aforesaid. Surrw sass Axil Loss oc. LI vr.s.—A letter from Capt. Lemuel Jones, dated Pawtuxent. May 18, 1844," and published in the Baltimore Sun of yes terday morning, states that a schooner which left Balti store on Wednesday of last week, command ed by Capt. Flowers, was capsized by a sudden flaw of wind on Thursday night. There were fine fe males on hoard and four males, ail of whom were drowned. with the exception of the captain and his brother, who clung on to the r igging until assistance. arrived. The clauses of those who were lost were, Miss Flowent, the captains sister, Mrs. Cent, a widow lady, a little girl about 7 years old, named Rockwell, a daughter of L. P. Rockwell, of Bald more, Mrs. Triggell and child. and a white !toy, and a black man, deck hands. The bodies of the four females were found in the cabin after the vessel was righted ; but Captain Jones was unable to re cover the bodies of the other three. The Convention for amending the Constitution of New Jersey is progressing. The Committee on the Executive has reported: The report proposes that the Govern or shall be elected for three years, by the people, from the-- , day of January next, and shall be ineligible for re election. until three years have expired. That he shall be at least thirty years of age, have been a resident of the United States for twenty years, and of the State for seven years; and that no member of Congress or officer of the, General Gov ernment, shall be eligible. After a bill shall be passed by both Houses, it shall be presented to the Governor for his approval, which he may sign or return with his objections; if he return it, and it is again passed by a majority, it shall be a law. If he retains it ten days it shall be a law, unless the legislature adjourn in the mean time. If so, it shall be a law, unless he return it with his objections, during the first three days of the next Legislature. The Governor, Chancellor, and Justices of the Supreme Court, shall constitute a Court of Pardons. In ease of the absence of the Governor, the Pre sident of the Senate shall act in his stead. A STOAT ron Tnt Carmuxous.—Under this title a story is going the rounds of the papers, sta ting that Proffessor Van Gruseelbach of Stockholm, has brought to a state of perfection, the art of produ cing a torpor in the whole system, in which a per son may remain a hundred or a thousand years, and again to be awakened to existence without injury to any organ of the system. The writer—a travel let in Europe—says he was shown some specimens of the Professor's experiments; among others, that of a young woman who had been guilty of murder ing her child, and had been consigned to the Profes sor by the Government. She had been in a state of torpor two years, and looked quite natural, with the exception of a little paleness. Cold ie the agent employed. AN Ism SPORTIMAN.-..
