Mr. Coax Y 0 being called on, addressed the meet-
ing in an able and eloquent manlier.
The committee, through their chairman, then
submitted the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted.
. "4.
Beso/red, That we most heartily approve of the
nomination of HENRY CLAY and THEODORE
FRELINGHUYSEN for the offices of President
and Vice President of the United tastes, and that
we join in the exultation that fills the cast and the
west, tho north and the south, and hail it as a cer
tain omen that the people aro rising in. the
Resolved, That we respond to the nomination of
Gen. JOSEPH MARKLE for the office of Gov
ernor of this Commonwealth ; that he is a condi ,
date in whom we recognize an honest and industri
ous farmer, whose pure bands have never been
stained with official bribes—a man who never de
sired or sought office—a soldier who has "done
the state some service, and they know it"—one
Who, as a public man and a private citizen, will al
ways prove himself faithful and true; and is emi
nently deserving of the suffrages of his fellow-citi
zens.
Reso'lved, That we believe it to be the imperative
duty of the Government to encourage and foster
the industry of our own citizens, whether Farmers,
Manufacturers or Mechanics, and therefore we ad
vocate a PROTECTIVE TAfin-r- the Whig
Tariff of 1542—which infuses plenty, prosperity
and happiness into the country.
Resolved, That we demand the Distribution of
the Proceeds of the Public Domain, because it of
right belongs to the People, and, if obtained, will
enable us to pay the interest of our State debts and
relieve us from the burdensome taxes that aro now
weighing us down.
Resolved, That we most heartily rejoice in the
defeat of the infamous British Tariff Dill introdu
ced into Congress by our opponents to destroy our
Domestic Industry.
Resolved, That we are opposed to John Tyler's
favorite bantling, THE ANNEXATION OP TIIE UNI
TED STATES co TEXAS, per se, and that we recom
mend that "His Accidence," and Isis party slope
for Texas at once, and let James K. Polk and Loco-
focoism go on unmolested in tho Grand Larceny of
Annexation.
Resolved, That the Leedom party are in favor
of the repeal of the Tariff of 1842, as the votes of
their representatives in Congress fully prove; that
they only want power to consummate their pur
pose; and that daises K. Por.x, their new leader ,
is an open and avowed enemy of the PROTECTIVE
POLICY, and in favor of the IIEYEAL or TIE
WIIIG TARIFF OF 1842, and lire advocate of
FREE TRADE, as his speeches abundantly man
, Vest.
Resolved, That Grosses M. DALLAS, who has
been nominated to play second fiddle to his junior,
James K. Polk, in the Locofuco farce, is a man of
vascillating principles—ono day for and the next
day against a National Bank—and of such wild,
radical and destructive notions that the People will
never honor him with the office of Vice President
of the United States.
Reaolved, That HENRY A. MUHLENBERG,
received the nomination of the Locofoco party for
Governor through the influence of the present Ex
ecutive, whose favorite he is, and if elected would
but continue or extend the present Lumbering Ad ,
ministration, of which the People have long been
anxiouc to rid themselves.
Resolved, That it ill bocomea our opponents, who
now acknowledge, that in 1838, and 18(1 they ele
vated to the chair of State, one who is alike desti
titute of moral and political integrity to snake charges
Mita, Dolitico, ?Literature, inoratitz facto, Aifencto, azvirui tate, ammemcnt, Bcr., kr.
~~~~~~~
against the moral worth of any man—and that we
hold it as the best evidence that they do not believe
their own slanders—that they make such things
objections, as their previous conduct, is an assur
ance, that to them they are recommendations for
office.
Resolved, That the charge that Mr. Clay is a
duelist comes with a bad grace from a party who once
boasted of the firmness of the old Roman, who
when ho sent the fatal bullet through Major Dick
inson said with coolness, 44 stand and take it Weep
man."
Resolved, That, the 'White Slavery falsehood as
told by the Locos, about Mr. Clay, carries with it
its own contradiction—for if Mr. Clay was in favor
of White Slavery, he would join their ranks; sure
that the "knee crooking knaves," would serve him
as they do their present masters,
ReBoketl, That the inducements for the annexa
tion of Texts, though they May be powerful and
mighty arc light when opposed in the scale of rea
son to treaty obligations and respect for that integ
rity of character by which the United States have
sought to distinguish themselves since the establish
ment of their right to tho claim of a place in the
great family of nations.
Resolved, That it would be far more to the honor
of the United States to assume the debts of the
Bankrupt States, than those of Texas, as it is the
duty of nations as well us individuals to be just be
fore they arc generous.
Resolved, That we go for CLAY, PRELING
HUYSEN and MARKLE and pledge Old Hun
tingdon for 2250 majority in October and Novem
ber for our candidates.
The meeting then joined in the song "Clear the
way for Henry Clay"—tune, What has caused this
great Cothmotion.
On motion, A. IV. BENEDICT, Esq., addressed
the meeting in a lucid and forcible speech.
Another song was sung-4 , Harry and !Lome
Protection"—tune, Rosin the Bow. -
JOHN ELAN - clump, Esq., was thou called for and
responded in a speech, characteristic of thoman—
neat, pertinent and convincing.
On motion it was resolved that the proceedings
of this meeting be published in the Huntingdon
Journ3l," the "Hollidaysburg Register," and in the
Whig papers published at Harrisburg.
The meeting then adjourned with threo cheers
for Clay, Frolingbuysen.anrtatr...w...- -
The Tin Pedlar and !Sleepy David.
4 'A Yankee among the AittUers."
The Yankees, as I said before, are apt to be too
rate for us in every thing except horse flesh, and
seme times Ito that. It was this day a year ago, and
at this very spot, that I entered my horse Swab."
for a purse of two thousand dollars. He hadjvon
a like sum the year before with all case. In short
ho was tiro best horse at that time in all Carolina.
There were, to be sure, two other horses, and very
fine ones too, entered against him but they were no
touch to Southron, and I was as sure of winning as
I am of sitting here at this moment, when who
should come along but a pinker, with n tin cart I
He had the shabbiest, worst looking horseyou ever
set eyes on. He was a lean, slapsided, crooked
legged, rough-haired, milk and molasses collered
son of a gun as over went on four legs. Ito stood
all the time as if ho was asleep—in fact, his owner
called him Sleepy David. In short sir, he was
such a horse as would not have brought twenty
dollars.
It was near the hour of starting, when the pedler,
whose exterior corresponded marvellously with that
that of his horse, and who said his name was Zo.
dec Baker, to the astonishment of all, intimated a
wish to enter his horse along with the rest.
Your horse I .' exclaimed what, that sleepy
looking critter there ? You'd hotter cuter him for
the turkey buzzards.' _
<Not's you know out, Mister,' returned the Yon-
kce, with some show of spirit. <To be sure the
critter looks rather sleepy as he stands, and on
that account I call him Sleepy David ; but he's a
jo•fired smart horse for all that. He's like a singed
cat, a darned sight better than he looks. I should
like taruation well to try him agile somc of you:
South Carolina horses. To be sure I didn't come
all the way front house on purpose; but as I was
coming out this way with a load of tin and other
notions, I thought I might time in so as to kill
two birds with one stone—for, thinks Ito myself, if
I can win the purse and peddle of my notions at
the same time, I shall snake a plaguy good speck.
But I had to hurry on like the station, to get here
in season—and that's ono !Cason my horse looks so
kind of shabby and out of kilter this morning:
'But for all that he'll perform like day's work I
tell you.'
Supposing ho had no idea of running his horse,
and that all he had said was merely to gratify his
propensity for talking, I bade him to be gone, and
not trouble mo with his Yankee palaver.
< Why, Mister,' said he, this is a free country
and a man has a right to talk or let it alone, jest as
he can 'and. Now I've taken a good deal of
pains to get hero this morning, in order to run
Sleepy David ogin' some of your Southern !torso.
I ain't a joking, I am in airnest. I understand
there is a purse of two thousand dollars and I should
like amazingly to pick it up.'
You talk about picking up a purse of two thou
sand dollars with that bit of carton of yours !
Away with you, and don't trouble , us any further.'
zacfb, aza4l4l.
'Nell, if I can't run, then I suppose I can't—
bnt A'a darned hard any how fora man to take so
much pains as I have to come to the races, and then
can't be allowed to run after all.' .
too late now--..by the rules of the course, the
horse should have been entered yesterday : how
ever, if you'll plank the entrance money, perhaps
you'may get in yet.'
I card this by way of getting rid of the fellow,
havipg no idea ho could command a fourth part of
the aura required.
,'flow much might be entrance money draw
ing alit a purse containing a few pence in coppers.
If it aMt more than a quarter of a dollar or so I'll
plea on the nail.'
Ws two hundred dollars.'
'Two hundred dollars!' exclaimed the yankee ;
'hy (truly, what. a price! why they axed me only
a titter of a dollar to seo • the elephant and the
who caravan in New York. Two hundred dol
lars ! why you mt v. Bless me !
my whole load o ' ware, hoes, .gun, and all,
would'at tat Miliken's audio But Mis
ter clout v lose I could get in for •to altars ?'
'Neill short of two hundred ; and that must
he paid in... e short space of live minut • .'
/101 ought we had fairly got dof the
fellow; but h. turned to the charge, d asked if
twen , .y dollars ould'irt do, tine • enty-five, then
a hundred; and r c.. . not make a bar
gain furless than a regular sum, he engaged to
give it, Providing ho could find any one to loan him
the money ; for which he offered to pawn his wa
gon load of notions and Sleepy David to hoot,—
He asked one, then another to accommodate him
with the loan, declaring that as soon as ever he
took the purse, the money should ho returned, and
would give a dozen tin whistles into the bargain.—
He,. however, got 'mom kicks than coppers,' until
some wag, who had plenty of cash, and liked to
see the sport go on, lent him the two hundred dol
lars out of sheer malice ; though, as it afterwards
turned out, the Yankee bad money enough about
him, and merely playing the possum all the
while. •
His next object was to borroW a saddle. Here he
wns also accommodated ; and then taking Sleepy
David from his cart, ho scrambled upon his back,
and then. took his station on tho course.—
You never saw a
~ :~CJ~i.s.at~li:'QCd.
' Not by a tame' sight l' exclaimed he, ' why
do you think I'm such a tarnal fool as to pay two
hundred dollars, and then not run aster all l'
Others, who wanted to see the sport though it
should cost some broken bones, encouraged him to
proceed—saying, as they laughed aloud, that they
had no doubt he would carry off the purse.
. That's what I mean to do exclaimed ho,—' I
hoist come hero for nothing, I can tell you, wake
' up Sleepy David, and look about you--you must have
your eyes open to-day. It's no time to be snoezhe
when thero's money at stake.'
Tho horse, as if he understood what his master
was saying, opened his eyes, pricked up his ears,
and actually showed some signs of life.
The
signal was given to start. Away sprang
the Southern horses, leaving Sleepy David far in
the rear, and the pedler verging from side to side as
if ho wag just ready to toll off. The horse went paw
ing, along with his tail clinging close to his haunches
and his nose stuck out straight before hint ; and you
never beheld so queer a figure cut by any man and
i horse as this singular pair made.
But they improved as they proceeded--the pea
k-r sat more jockey-like, and the horse evidently
gained on the others.
_ . . . .
It was now thought that the Yankee had got
enough of the race, and would withdraw before
the riext heat. Contraty.to all expectations how
ever, ho persevered, and even offered to bet a
thousand dollars on the issue of the race.
'The fellow's a fool,' said one.
'He don't know which side his bread is butter
ed,' said anotheryor else he would'ut risk any
more money on so desperate a stake.'
He's safo enough there,' said a third, 44 for
he has no money to risk.'
Here, however, every body was mistaken again
for the pedler hauled out an old greasy pocket
book and planked, the thousand dollars; it was I
covered of course. Dut I confess I now began to
be staggered ; and to suspect the Yankee was af.
to all more knavo than fool. I had no fears,
however fur the purse. Southron was not a
horse to be distanced in one day, and especially by
such a miserable looking animal as Sleepy David.
The second heat was now commenced—and, if
I had before felt confident in the entire superiority
or my noble horse Southron, that confidence was
strengthened, as I again saw him coming ahead of
the rest, I considered the purse now as my own
property. In imagination I had grasped it, and
was about putting it safely in my pocket, when—lo,
and behold ! the petite r's horse, which was behind
all the rest, suddenly shut forward, as if the deal
kicked him on the end, and stretched his neck
like a crane, won the heat by a head.
Every body was astonished. "That horse
must be old Scratch himself,' said one. 4 At least,
he has an evil genius to back him,' said a third,—
I was sure he would play you some Yankee trick
before he got through.' Such were the observa
tions that passed front mouth to mouth.
The Yankee in the mean time, offered to plank
another $ 1000; but noboby would take the bet.—
And it was well they didn't for at the third heat
Sleepy David not only distanced every horse, but
even came in a quarter of a mile ahead of S,outhron
himself.
There, by gouty !' said the Yankee as he dis
mounted, "I'll take that are Icetle purse if you
please, and the tether cool thousand I knew well
enough that poor Southern horse. couldn't hold a
candle to Sleepy David.'
Twenty-ninth of February.
This day is an extraordinary day, a day which
returns again only in four years. We could enter
into historical details on the snbject of leap-year
established by Julius Clesar, nearly nineteen cen
turies ago, and make a long chronicle about it.—
But we shall only say that for a woman who makes
pretensions to youthfulness, it is a precious advan
tage to be born on the 29th of February. There
are in the Parisian world many wonderful person-
ages born on that day, who profit by the favorable
to grow old but one year in four; they never reck
on a year more except upon the anniversary of their
jirth•day. It is true, however, that many other
Women count in the same way without being born
on the 29th of February.
This day gives rise Witten) , mistakes, and strange
incidents. The last story, we know on this subject,
happened beiween one or our dandies, who lounges
most- elegantly at the opera, and a capitalist, fasted
for his exhorbitant usuries.
The dandy wanted to borrow money, the capi
talist wanted to lend it: the affair was quickly con
cluded.
You will . give me your noM,' said the capitalist
opening his portfolio.
Willingly,' replied the dandy. 'lt is agreed
that you aro to lot me have ono thousand crowns.
We fix the expiration of the note to one year; I
will give you my note for three thousand francs.'
You must add the interest.'
That is no more than fair.'
' For you cannot supposo I will lend money
gratis.'
OF course not.'
Money is so scarce theso times ! So add tho
interest to the capital.
How much will that make ?'
4 A thousand crowns fora year would amount to
Attu nt.t: .1 iS 1101, ilyQi. oeu
if you think the money to dear you have only to
say so, and there the :nil& will end ;' continued the
capitalist shutting up his port folio.
No, no! I will do so,' replied the dandy hastily,
Well then, draw the note.'
What day of the month have we ?'
The capitalist looked at his journal and said
The 2011h'
The dandy wrote
On the 29th of February, I will pay to M. -
or order the sum of 4,200 francs, for value receiv
ed. Paris, the &e.
6 All right,' said the capitalist as lie read it over
—and he counted out the three thousand francs to
the borrower, who laughed in his sleeve.
Leap-year is very deceiving, since even nn usurer
can be outdone by it. Our lender perceived too
late the snare into which his crowns had fallen.—
lie wished to reclaim them; he asked for a second
edition of the note, reviewed and corrected, but his
request was derided.
4 You may call in four years, my dear sir,' repli
ed the dandy ; and thanks to your happy error, your
conscience may lie at rest, for you have, by this
mistake, lent your money, at ten per cent, which,
for a loan like you, is at a virtuous rate.'

A Pleasing Incident.
DEPARTURE FROM BALTIMORE.
The papers have teemed with accounts of the
spirited proceedings in Baltimore, on the 2nd of
May last; and all that could be mid of the enthu
siasm and beauty manifested in Baltimore * street,
has been uttered. Never, in this" country, was
there such a display. Hut we are happy to state,
that the enthusiasm of the ladies was nut exhausted
on that day, nor was it confined to Baltimore street,
the great artery of the city, along which the pro.
cession moved. But whenever and wherever ata
opportunity presented, there were exhibitions of
continued sympathy in the objects of the Convene
lion, and of encouraging approval of the conduct
of the delegates,
On Friday morning, the ears left the depot in the
western part of Pratt street, with about five hun
dred passengers r and these wero detained nearly an
hour in a /ewer part of the city, where the engines
were attached to the care, and then the movement
was recommenced. This brought to the windows,
doors and gates, old and young, rich and poor, rids
tress and servant. From the upper windows beam
' ed forth smiles of beauty, and white handkerchiefs
were waved by pearly hands. Heads nodded time
to the Clay bands of music in the ears, and boquets
were thrown towards the retiring visiters. At the
first door the housewife, who had hastened tram
her breakfast, held a child by one hand and waved
a napkin with the other. At the gate, the servant
had thrust forth her hand and lent her approval to
the scene, while the curbstone was lined with boys
and girls, whose screams of joy and rejoicing were
as sharp upon the ear as an octave flute. In another
section a diffirent class had been drawn to the door
—a matron, swinging aloft a part of the dress of
her child. Her next door neighbor had come to
the door empty handed; she looked round for some
thing expressive of her feelings, and seizing her
apron she gave a flourish of approval. Her next
neighbor was no less patriotic in feeling, but was
still more scantily supplied with the means of ex
pressing her feelings. She had no handkerchief at
hand, and she looked down for her apron, but evert
that was missing; so ehe took what conic next to
hand and flourished away at a great ra.
nirtAnton, cm thissupcibs rd'l37il te thuore, duce
ore a few squares of !wet brick houses, prettily
finished. Here the widows, doors, and side walks
were lined. While cries of hurah for Clay and
Frclinghuysen,' were sent up front the curbstone,
waving handkerchiefs and smiles marked the widows
Here the ears paused a few minutee, as it was found
dfficult to overcome the high grade with such a
load, and we all had a better chance of looking out
upon the people. Wo noticed in one small but
neatly finished house, that no ono occupied either
the lower windows or the door, and we thought it
probable that a loco-foco lived there. At length
we saw a handsome young woman hastening to
the window to wave her handkerchief. She was
suddenly intercepted by a young man who shoved
