The "Mongrel" Meeting.
The following account of the proceedings of the
meeting of the "mongrel" Locofoco-Whig-"Work
ingmen," &c., we copy from the "Huntingdon
Globe" of last week, a rank Locofoco paper, and
organ of the said " mongrel" disorganizers. We
have interspersed the proceedings with occasional
remarks of our own, placed in brackets, in order to
make them accord with truth; and the Gth resolu
tion we have omitted altogether, because it is of a
personal character and against a private individual.
The proceedings wore written out by would-be-
Deputy-Sheriff Jacob Cresswell, who was the mas
ter spirit in the meeting. We pity a party, faction,
or cabal that is led by such a man.
From the Huntingdon Globe.
TREMENDOUS MEETING.
Pursuant to public notice, a very large and [not
very) enthusiastic meeting was held in the Old
Court House, on Wednesday [Thursday] evening
Aug. 15, 1844. Mr. John Bumbaugh [of the
Workingmen's party of 1841] was called to the
Chair; Mr. Hammond [a disappointed candidate
for nomination as Sheriff] Benj. Gorsuch [ditto,]
Jacob Straighthoof, [ditto,] and Abner Lloyd [who
did not sit] wore chosen as Vice Presidents; John
Flenner [who refused to act,] Thomas Eldridge and
George W. Whittaker, [son and agent of John
Whittaker, another disappointed candidate for nom
ination as Sheriff, and pledged to abide the decision
of the nominating Convention,] were chosen Secre
taries
On motion of Dr. Hoffman, Jacob Cresswell
was called on to state the object of the meeting.
Mr. Cresswell responded to the call amid deafening
cheers from the crowd. (As modest as true!) He
said the office of Sheriff was one of profit and honor
and should. in a large and respectable county like
ours, be bestowed only on men of such age and
standing in society, as would warrant the belief that
the office would not be disgraced, nor prostituted to
vile purposes. [Such men, for instance, as John
Whittaker and his modest miff] He stated further
—that in the proceedings f the Whig Convention,
held on the previous day, viittlity [in himseff] had
been exhibited in an alarming form—that the mode
of securing delegates to said Convention by the
nominee for Sheriff [to wit, by election by the pee. I I
pled was such as should alarm every honest unpre
judiced mind [like hied which has taken cogni
sauce of the late convention and its proceedings;
and that a very large portion of the honest yeomanry
in the Whig party, were prepared to declare their
uncompromising hostility to the nominee of that
Convention for Sheriff—[untrue]—that many of
the delegates in that body. would not nor could not
support Mr. Armitage, said nominee. [Ditto.]
On motion, JACOB CRESSWELL, John
Flenner, James Barbour, GEOPOE CCLP, A.
Willoughby, DR. HOFFMAN, R. Plowman and
N. Lytle, were by the Chair appointed a committee
to draft a preamble and resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting. [Messrs. Cromwell and
Culp and Dr. Hoffman ore the only members of the
committee who would mix with the " mongrels"—
they alone went nut to prepare resolutions—and
they alone are entitled to the honor of having acted
with Jacob Crmswell's "mongrel" party. Mr. N.
Lytle publicly declined to act, stating that he is a
member of the WHIG party.] After having re
tired for a short time, the committee, through tits
Chairman, reported the following preamble anti
resolutions, which were read and on motion unani
mously adopted [by the votes of the three committee
men, the officers, and as many of the Locofoco
lookers on as voted.]
To the independent freemen of Huntingdon
ciunly.
Fellow Citizens!
The time has arrived, when, to
secure the administration of justice [through your
able writer and John Whittaker,] and perpetuate
our constitutional rights, it has become necessary,
for us to declare our opinions in an honest and
plain, but emphatic and positive manner. When
we dispassionately view the different interests and
conditions of all classes of individuals—when we
behold the reign of might over right—[save the
mark and the gray mare's tail!]—the domination
of tyranny, over a patient and law abiding people ;
we are compelled to acknowledge, that whilst we
sympathise with the enslaved dependants of abso
lute monarchs, we, ourselves lose sight of our'own
degradation, having either become the dupes of ty
rants or the admirers of fools. [Grandiloquent !)
We may fairly conclude (from the manner in
which the late delegate meetings, in many instan
ces, were gotten up—carried through--the kind of
delegates who were by a particular influence chosen,
and the conduct of said particular delegates, when
in Convention, and shortly before and after,) that
the greater the number of dependants upon the
Sheriff's mercy, just in the same proportion, will
the bold reeklessness of the Tyrant and his favor
tics be exhibited. [Good for Jacob!]
In no country, under any government or circum
stances, car. the thoughts or mind of man be con
trolled or subdued. But in an especial manner, is
freedom of speech and freedom of action, the privi ,
lege and the boost of American citizens.
In view, then, of the conduct of the majority of'
the Convention, held on the 14th inst., in this
house by the party with which we [not] all have
acted—for which many of us, have [not] done
much to keep it pure and in the ascendant. We
submit the following Resolutions:
1. Resolved, That as free citizens of Huntingdon
county, having common sense, [how we apples
swim,) sound reason and common rights, we are
opposed to the packing of Conventions by the mo
nied influence of stock jobbers and capitalists—[no
Bankrupts]—that we deprecate the precedent, of the
office of high Sheriff; being prostituted to subserve
the interests of the rich, and the ruthless speculator,
while at the same time, it is used to suborn the un
fortunate honest debtor, into the support of an un
worthy, undeserving candidate; who would feign
usurp, and continue to exercise the prerogative of
that high office, which he now so unjustly and so
impartially wields. [How disinterested
2. Resolved, That as Pennsylvanians we have a
right to assemble ourselves together in a peaceable
manner, to express our approbation to, or disappro
bation of, the conduct or principles of any public
functionary,County Convention,or other deliberative
body, despite the hooting ()flouts and the hissing of
knaves. [Sublime!)
3. Resolved, That we cannot support John Ar
mitage, the nominee of the late Convention for
Sheriff. [That's candid!)
Ist. Because of his having held office from his
early boyhood up to this time. [Untrue.]
2nd. Because of his green age and therefore our
unwillingness, to compromit the claims of old and
respectable citizens, [like John Whittaker and his
Deputy Jacob Cresswell,] for the elevation of an
undeserving you'h.
4. Resolved, That the independent electors of
the several townships, boroughs and districts, are
hereby recommended to hold meetings at their sev
eral proper places of holding similar elections, on
Saturday the 7th of September next, to choose del
egates to represent them in county Convention, to
meet at this house, on Tuesday the 10th day of
September next, at two o'clock P. M., to nominate
a candidate for the office of Sheriff, who may be
worthy our support and suffrages. and to take into
consideration such measures, sad transact such bu
siness as said Convention, when assembled, may
think proper. [That's exactly what the Locofoccs
and " Workingmen" did three years ago.]
5. Resolved, That the Chair appoint a committee
of three persons in this borough to correspond with
our friends in the several townships and boroughs
throughout the county. [The plot thickens.]
7. Resolved, that these proceedings be signed by
the officers of this meeting, and published in all the
papers in this county friendly toward the promotion
of justice, as well as of the interests of the farmer,
mechanic and laboring man.
The Chair appointed the following Correspond
ing committee: Dr. Hoffman, A. Willoughby and
Jacob Cresswell.
Signed by the Officers.
a iit is hardly necessary to add, that the moNe
ment of Mr. Cresswell and a few aspirants is here
looked upon as the merest farce. They have not as I
yet been able to get a footing in their work of disor
ganization.
They find fault with the nomination
of Sheriff o nly; yet the same Convention nomina
ted the whole ticket; and these disintereated(!)
"mongrels" accuse the Convention of being packed
by "the monied influence of stock jobbers and cap
italists." It will not do. ye veritable n mongrels!"
The Convention was composed of good arid honest
men—men elected honestly by the people. Mr. l
Cresswell and his associates could not, with all
their eloquence and threats, swerve them from their
duty. The votes stood thus—for Armitage 44, for
Whittaker 13, and for Renner 11—so that Mr. Ar
mitage received the nomination by a large majority
—nearly two to one over all opponents.
Some of the designing and plotting Locofocos
watched this movement with much anxiety. The
Loeofoco Convention did not take up candidates;
but they empowered the county committee to con
vene the Convention again, if deemed advisable.
If the "mongrels" could make any considerable
"headway" the Locofoco Convention would imme
diately be re-assembled, and a Sheriff and other can
didates would be nominated. The plan is too evi
dent.
It is stated that the Temperance cause is ad
vancing prosperously at Louisville. The move
ments in behalf of that cause are at present some
what checked in most places by the predominance
of political interest.
Nearly five inches of rain fell in Charleston
lately, in less than an hour and a half—an unusu
ally large quantity.
The receipts on the Long Island Railroad are
estimated to be over 000 per day—near $3OO,
NO per annum.
TWENTY 6001) REA:,()Ns,
Why Texas shoal(' not be annexed to the
United Slates,
The Savanuali Republican furnishes
the following concise but cogent arguments
against the Tyler scheme of annexation.
1. Because there is nothing in the Con
stitution to authorize the acquisition
of new territory, particularity when
involving a declaration of war.
2. Because, to annex Texas, whilst at
war with Mexico, a power with which
we are at peace, and to which we are
bound to be neutral, violates oar
treaty obligations.
8. Because such a violation is wrong,
and dishonors us in the sight of all
civilized nations.
4. Because we shall, by such a step, be
Involved in an unjust war, and in an
unholy cause.
5. Because such a war, with such int).
tivesand for such an object, cannot be
prosecuted with union, zeal, spirit or
complete success.
6. Because the design, in opening the
subject at this time, is evidently to
promote the ambition of John Tyler,
without regard to the interests of the
country..
7. Because the matter has not been de
liberately considered by the people
of this country, nor their views ex•
pressed.
8. Because the whole course of the ne
gotiation is dishonorable and degra..
ding to our country, whose dignity
has been sacrificed and overlooked
to gratily private and personal ends.
9. Because, this country has just emer
ged from great disorders of curren
cy and commerce and needs rest
from trouble and agitation, and is
not in a fit state to involve herself
in new difficulties and embarass-
mente.
10. Because it would weaken any re
monstrance or opposition on our
part against the acquisition of Cuba
by Great Britain.
11. Because it would be an act of cow
ardice and oppression towlrds Mex
ico, as a weak nation, which we
should hesitate to perpetrate towards
a stronger one.
12. Because we have land enough with•
in our present boundaries—more
than can be well cultivated or prop
erly occupied.
13. Because, to fill up Texas a draft
will be made upon the Southern ,
States, and the new country will be
filled up by the expense of the old.
14. Because in thus depopulating the
Southern States, their political and
moral influence would be diffused
and weakened, and the lose would
outweigh the gain.
15. Because, in a thinly settled coun
try, the difficulties of education, of
social, moral, and intellectual im
provement, are increased, while in
a floating population the love of
country must always be weak.
16. Because where population is spa
rest, agriculture must be backward
and in effect partial.
17. Because the United States would
have to assume a debt of ten mill
ions of dollars, and what we are un
willing to do for our own States we
ought nut to do to foreigners.
10. Because the increase in the quan•
tity of public lands would decrease
the value of those we already poss.
ess.
13. Because our Government is already
sufficiently unwieloly, and sectional
jealousies already render it sufficient
ly difficult to preserve our Union,
while the precedent would be a bad
one, lead to dissennon, and perhaps
sow the seeds of civil war.
O. Because the present boundary of
the Sabine was fixed by Win. H.
Crawford, John C. Calhoun, Win.

to the Rio Grande,tor reasons which
were then satibfactory.
j4ore Fire Riots in 33altimore.
The iialtimore papers inform us that
several more fire riots occurred in that
city on Saturday night. Bricks were
thrown, guns and pistols were fired, and
it is reported that one man was shot.—
The Sun says that "during the affray, the
reel belonging to the Columbian was taken
possesion of by another party and literally
Woken and cut to pieces. The vigilant
reel was also taken possession of by a par
ty near the corner of Baltimore and Hol
iday streets, run away with and thrown
into the Falls, somewhere in the neigh..
boyhood of White's distillery. It was
recovered by the watchmen and taken to
the watch•house. Although the police
were in attendance, with the night watch
men, we do not learn that a single per
son was arrested. It the officers seized
a man, he was immediately rescued by a
rush from the riotous parties. Off►cer
Laughlin had his coat completely torn
from his back. The fight we are told
was continued almost the entire length of
the city, Baltimore and some other streets
being a perfect scene of riot."
The same paper states that on Sunday
afternoon," about half past lour o'clock,
an alarm of fire was created, by whom it
is hard to tell.
In a few moments, the streets were alive
with a most unruly set. The prompt ac
tion of the police, however, prevented any
fighting, and the apparatus of the several
companies out, went home without en
gaging in a fight. as far as we could learn.
Some arrests of halt grown men, those
common disturbers, were made, but who
they were or what will be done with them,
we do not yet know. Baltimore sttreet
during the afternoon was crowded."
The 11..linno , e Sun says that is a young
man was quietly urniliiitt his way to his
home on Kiturday night last, about
9 o'clock, when near Ilarford Run, on
Baltimore street, he was assailed by some
unknown ruffian, and so severely beaten,
that for a time his lite was almost des
paired of. He received a blow from a
heavy club across the face, knocking him
senseless, breaking the bone nt his nose,
as well as seriously andangeriu ‘ g the
sight of his eyes.
The Baltimore Stun says :
One of the greatest acts of villany that
has lately come to our knowledge, took
' place at an early hour yesterday morn
ill. It seems that some six or eight
' members of the Vigilant Fire Co., were
joint owners of a large and handsome
sail boat 'called the " Henry Clay," and
that some scoundrels, having a hatted to
the company of which they are members,
actuated by that malice which would de
tract form the basest fiends, proceeded to
the railway of Mr. Muler, at Goodwin's
ship yard, situate between Block and
Philpot sta., F. P. where the boat
lay, and launched it into the water, filled
it with shavings to which fire was applied,
and the boat set adrift. She was found
yesterday on the shore near Fort McHen
ry, with one side entirely consumed.

" Readinu Eagle" as follows;
" lie my opinion the United States can

TED STATES BANK or as institution
similar to that one."
Pout's Toartsm.—All who arc awake
to the interests of the country and the
welfare of the people, can see what "the
Whig editors have to do with James K.
Polk's ancestry;" and all who have read
the Whig papers" during the last two
nrthree months are well aware that"little
Jimmy" has shown his hostility to the
Patriots of the Revolution, by his refusal
to vote in favor of their pension; that he
is in favor of the Southern confederacy,
and a consequent dissolution of the Union,
by the immediately annexing Texas, in
violation of our National faith and honor.
To add to the black catalogue of hiscrimes,
it can lie proved that lie opposed the bill
grontine relief to the Patriot JAMES
MONROE, for the debt incurred by him
in carrying on the war with Great Britian.
Was there ever a more heartless Rep.
resentative in the Halls of Congress,
than this same Jaws K. Polk? Let
every voter read the following from the
Sangamo Journal: _
It is well known that tames Monroe's
personal sacrifices 01 property to carry on
the war, wits one of the great causes
which induced the Nation by a feeling of
gratitude, to place him in the Presidential
chair. After N life spent m the public
service, he left that chair and returned
home a poor man. lie left the Nation
indebted to him for Patriotic services,
both in a debt of gratitude and a debt of
dollars. James K. Polk voted against
paving the debt due to that venerable
Patriot, James Mourne
Nlay 12, 1826, the bill for the relief of
James Monroe, being under consideration,
Mr. Polk voted against it.—Conti. Deb
vol. 2. part 2, page 2691.
January 31, 1851, Mr Polk opposed
the claim, (vol. 7. page 516,) and voted
against it. Page. 575, 614.
THE METHODISTS.
From the minutes of the annual Confer
ences of the Methodist Episcopal Church
tiir the year 1843, 44, just published, (says
the N. Y. Post) it appears that the nett
increase of members during the year, was
103,831. This, added to the increase of
the previous year, namely, 154,64,
makes the unprecedented increase of
257,455 in the short period of two year',
and the whole number of members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, 1,171,356.
The number of the travelling preachers,
or regular rleiTy, is 4 282, id the super.
animated, or worn out travelling preachers,
339, and that of the local or lay preachers,
8,087. iota{ number of preachers 12.
708. In other words, the number of
Methodist Preacher. in the United States
and exits, exceeds that of the standing
army of the United Slates. It is a fact
worthy of notice, that out of the whole
number of travelling preachers it was
found necessary during the last year to
expel only two from the connexion. The
number of withdrawals was thirty one.--
Within the bounds of four conferences,
namely, the Baltimore, the Philadelphia,
the New Jersey and the New York, the
aggregate decrease was 7,514. In the
city of Baltimore, the white membership
was reduced from 9239 to 8782, awl the
colored membership from 4530 to 3459,
showing an aggregate decrease of 1534. --
The twenty-four churches of the city
and liberties of Philadelphia have had
their white membership reduced from 11,
093 to 10,345, and the colered from 28t
to 177, aggregate decrease 799. The
white membership of the twenty.two
churches of New York city and county
has decreased from 9746 to 9424—but
the colered ha, increased from 34 to 54;
nett decrease, 302. In the five churches
of Brooklyn. the white membership has
been reduced from 2020 to 1820, and the
colored from 11 to 8; total decrease 203.
CHANGES,
While the Loco FOCOR are pointing to a
few changes of individuals here and there,
the Whigs are steadily revolutionizing
whole States. Since the year came in
we have redeemed.
The State of Connecticut,
The State of Viiginia,
The State of Maryland,
The State of Louisiana,
The State of Indiana,
The State of North Carolina.
The three last have been curried des
pite the troops of changes, renunciations
whigery, &c., which the Loco Foca
papers anotniced before the elections.—
They brag as loudly now as in 1840, and
with the same reason.
