A mooting of all those friendly to the project of constructing a Railroad from Harrisburg to Pitts burS, is called for this evening at the New COVET ;ibess. cC:rThe citizens of Mifflin county held a meeting to, Lewistown last week, and panned resolutions in 'savor of the proposed Railroad from Harrisburg to hitteburg. The meeting is spoken of as having been largo and spirited. Our fellow townsman, kale Pignut, Esq., addreseed the meeting, in an able and eloquent manner, says the Democrat. If we were permitted, seriously, to recom mend to the Locofoco party a suitable person for Speaker of the next House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, we would name Michael Keller, of Dauphin county. Mr. Keller is a man of a well matured mind, and although not a fluent debater, would, we are convinced, make an impartial and efficient presiding officer. If the democracy are desirous of conferring the honor upon a democrat from a Whig enmity, we hope Mr. Keller will be the mem A Parmstotrxr.

The last Lebanon Courier has a longthy and well-written editorial article on the subject of the neat Presidency, from which we make the follow ing extract : And who shall be that candidate ?

We heartily congratulate Lieut. Colson on his promotion, and should not have ob jected to being "in town" when the news arrived, as we have no doubt Pine was entirely himself on the occasion. The members of the "Society" are ruin' eh, Lieutenant? An Earthquake, The New York Journal of Commerce of the 28th ult., gives an account of an earthquake which was seriously felt in that city, and Long Island. in Norwich, Conn., the shock wee so severe that persons could scarcely stand upon their feet, and the people in church supposed the bell was falling from the Steeple. The trembling and rumbling sound, lasted about two minutes, end seemed to be in a direction from North to South. Judging front these accounts, this must have been the most via lent earthquake felt in this vicilnity for a great number of years. We fear we shell hear disas trous intelligence from the West Indies , * or South America, or both. es.—A daughter of Secretary Bancroft died at the residence of Dr. Jackson in Philadelphia, on the 29th ult. She died from home, yet surrounded by many warm and ardent friends. Her father was with her and saw her eyes closed in death.— 'rite Washington Union says that she was but six years of age, and the only child of her parents, adding : She was indeed a lovely thing, gay as a goring morning, when she left us in July last; and blooming like a Ifebe in health. How little did we dream. that it was the last we should ever see of her! She was the favorite of all who saw her." Ti, s Nerr Negri; axe r.—The Martinsburg (Va.)

Tho Tariff Again We have received a communication on the sub ject of the Hollidaysburg Convention, which we give in another column, taking our correspondent of last week, and °wadi, to task for the positions assumed by him and us in regard to this affair. We give place to this communication on the ground , that all have a right to be heard; indeed, we have no desire to exclude any, however much they may differ from our own views. on any subject, prefer ring rattier that the people should have an opportu nity to view subjects of this kind, especially, in all the different aspects in which they can be present ed. We confess ourretf, however, at a loss to know, exactly, with what the writer referred to finds fault. We objected, together with our corres pondent, to the Whigs having any thing to do With this Convention, and our friend who writes for us on this subject in to-day's paper, thinks with us that it would be "policy" in the Whigs to let our "Democratic" friends manage the matter them. telvee. Thut is our position also. We went them Ito get themselves right on this subject. Did not the Whigs from one end of the State to the other—from the Delaware to the Lakes, (speaking exclusively of Pennsylvania) proclaim to the people, both through the medium of the press and from the stump, that Jan. K. Polk wee opposed to the interests of Penn eylvania, and allied with the free-trade notion. of the South? Did they not tell them that in the event of the defeat of HaabY CLAY, the Tariff would be repealed! And did not these men who now cry out that the Tariff is in danger, 'and call upon the Whigs to help save it, traverse the State, from one end to the other, telling their party that it was all a "Whig lie"—that ' , Polk was a better Tariff man than Mr. Clay!" We think it but a poor compliment to their intelligence to say that they were "honest" in all this, and that they were deceived in regard to Mr. Pollee position on this aubject. Did not the President's *thole political life—all his speeches in Congress—and letters to committees, (with the exception of the celebrated Katie letter, manufactured to suit the occasion) prove 'conclueively that he was opposed to the whole protective policy? We say they did, and his advocates in this State were too intelligent not to be aware of It. Our correspondent speaks of these men as "honorable" gentlemen, and takes us to tosk for assailing their motives. Is it honorable, we would ask, to deceive the people on a subject on whirls their bread and butter depends, for the Isole object of advancing the interests of party? Does it, we ask, prove these gentlemen to he "hon est' end "honorable," to came out now, previous to any thing from the Preeident of 'their choice on the subject, and in the face of all their assertions of last fall to the contrary, declare the "Tariff to be in danger." Do they not by this course, prove them selves to be the very reverse. Our correspondent modestly asks tte to "buckle on our armor of opposition to the tree-trade party of the South," and let these honorable Locefoeos of Pennsylvania, who are about rising above their "party trammels," alone. The only pity is that these Lunutablo mesa aid nnl. think or 'loins olovvo their "party trammels" when they could have done some good. They had se much light on the subject when they were electioneering and voting for Mr. Polk, in regard to this question, as they have now. But they must first secure the interests of their paely—tlect Mr. Polk, and plant him and his free-trade Cabinet securely in the Capitol of the nation, and then turn round and invite those who they denounced as "liars" to join them in suetain ing the Tariffi as we said before, against the &e -malts of the men who they themselves absolutely lied into office! And for all this hypocricy and fraud, men, calling themselves Whigs, pronounce them "honorable!" In regard to the advice given us to "buckle on our armor," &c., we have only to add, that we have had it on time and again, doing battle not against the free-trade party of the South alone, but against their free-trade allies of Pennsyl vania, who have done more against Pennsylvania interests, in deceiving the people in regard to the true issue involved in the last Presidential contest, than has ever been aceompliehed by the free-trade party of . the South; and we shall continuo to do so, "regardless of denunciations from any quarter." 0;:yOur neighbor of the Register thinks there is no danger of the division men being defeated at Harrisburg this winter. He thinks that tho Whigs can be brow-beaten into the support of the measure; and says they ask nothing of the Whigs but the "reward of merit." The "merit" of electing two Locofocos, we are of opinion', will not bo very highly appreciated by the Whig representative., taken in connection with the threat of the Regis ter, that this policy will be continued, in ease their prayer is not granted.

The Washington correspondent of the New York fi,:rald says, that at a meeting of the Cabinet last week, there was a palpable division upon the question of the toodification of the Tariff.—Messrs. \Volker, Johnson and Mason favoring a reduction to the lowest revenue standard, and Messrs. Bn chanan, Marcy, and Bancroft opposing it. The vote of the President decided the question favora ble to reduction. The correspondent remarks that • , an explosion of the Cabinet is dreaded upon this very issue." cO Roo. T. M.

The Caledonia, This vessel which arrived at New York last week, brings seven days later news front Europe. We find tho following in the Pennsylvania Inqui rer taken frons a long article in the European: Times: The American Provision trade flourishes. The stock of Beef, Pork, and Cheese, is light; and the state of things in Ireland will have a tendency not only to improve prices, but to lessen competition.— It seem a angular anomaly in this branch of trade, that the dealers aro constantly complaing of the smallness of their stocks, and of the difficulty which they experience itt executing the orders which pour in upon them. The prices of Corn in rising rapidly; and on this head we need de little more than refer to the ample details in our market returns. The weather lately has been most wretched, and even at the present moment large patches of uncut grain are exposed to the pelting of the elements in the north of Eng land and in Scotland, while, as we have stated pre previously, the position of ;natters in Ireland is even worao. Damp corn enhances the value of fine wheat; and those who possess the latter, calcula ting on a rise, evince no desire to part with it. The market is therefore scantily supplied, and improve ment in the price is the result. As to the general yield of the harvest, the authorities differ; but it seems undeniable that the wheat crop will be un der that of last year—though not to the extent that name alarmists would fain induce the world to be- Here. The Money Market shows symptoms of waver ing under the black clouds which appear in the 'distance. During the last few days the price of Console has declined one per cent., and the value of money is higher. The Share market may, on the whole--of course, riontithetending the fever, 'we era speaking comparatively of the bloodheat— be pronounced duller. Some of the Shares have receded in value, and the price of almost every kind of scrip is lower. The iron trade is brisk—ho* cotila it be others wise ?--and there continues to be a greater demand than the trade can supply. The price of Iron, of late bears, has advanced enormously; and, front the ptesent position of matters, it seems likely to advance still higher. New Jersey Election: The results of the New Jersey election are not whet we could desire—they are not what they ought to have-been. There are Whigs enough in that State to elect a large majority of the legisla ture, the Governor, and all the Congressmen. They do not "turn out," unless there is a strong excitement, and so their friends are "turned out.'' The following, so far as we can obtain inform. Lion, is the result of Tuesday's labor: Wants. Locos. Seiler. Assembly. Senate. Assembly, Bergen, 0 0 1 2 Hudson, 1 1 Essex, 1 7 Middlesex, 1 4 Morris, 1 4 Passaic, 1 2 Somerset, 1 Monmouth, 1 5 Mercer, 1 3 HulingtOn, 1 5 Sussex, 1 , 4 Warren, 1 3 Hunterdon, 1 4 Camden, 1 Gloucester, 1 Salem, Cumberland, 1 Cape May, 1 1 A tluntic, 1 Senators from Essx, Somerset, Gloucester,Sa lem, Warren, Monmouth, and Camden, newly elected—the others hold over. While every Whig county in New Jersey did well, it would seem that the Banner may be claim• ed by Gloucester, where, against most adverse cir cumstances, our friends rallied like men, and suc ceeded against all antagonists.-- U. S. Gazette. IMO True Whig Spirit. . -- --- We recognise the following Resolutions; adopted at a Whig Convention held at Carthage, Ohio, on the 4th ult. the right spirit, the geneial diffusion of which, when the time comes for serious action, can. not fail to ensure to the Whig party, throughout the whole Union, a triumphant success: "Resolved That the name of Wino, is to the history of our country and the lineage/of our ances. tors—a name honorable among men—associated with the love of liberty—distinguished for resistance against despotism—admirable for what it has done and to be desired for what it would do. "Resolved, That to the iinava thorn is no des• pair ; that the hour of adversity should be the hour of effort; and that as the Whigs of the Revolution conquered all obstacles, and became victorious in defeat, so we, like them, will continue to struggle for our country, and, trying to deserve suecess, look forward with hope and confidence from a disastrous past to a glorious future."

A New foca.—At Philadelphia, on Monday afternoon, a great deal of interest and curiosity was excited by the fact of a tall, fine looking men being seen leisurely promenading along second street, wearing a coat, on the back of which, In large sta ring gilt letters, were the words 'TA ILOW3 DUN:, On, inquiry, it was ascertained that ho was employ ed by en association of tailors for the purpose of collecting hopeless lulls, and shaming the debtors of that ill-used race of tradesmen into the payment of their debts.—Carlisk l'aurtiecr, The Pottowattomies, Col.

On the 7th inst. they had an interview with the Presi dent, who welcomed them in a brief speech, to which OrTs-Ks-sur ex, the orator of the delega tion, replied as follows: "My Father,—You ace your children, chiefs and bravos of the Pottawatomies. We come a long way to visit you. We offer you our respect and friendship. Tho while man is our friend and we aro his. We respect tho government of the United States, and wo wish to do what is right.

So loud woe the noise, that many of the citizens in the neigh borhood were heard to exclaim "There goes wroth or powder mill !" Fortunately nobody was inju red. It originated from the cask, which was very largo, being charged with gas. It is astonishing how often this accident occurs. The empty vinegar barrels aro plentiful. They are full of acrid gasses, that are generated from rem nants of acidity, and their entire emptiness gives occasion to the generation of immense bodies of these offensive airs. Sometimes, when a little heat ed, these evil humors exude through the pores, and oflbrul delicate persons, thought they generally turn upon the poor empty barrel. Sometimes when, by accident, or from mischievous humor, the head of these gaseous casks are lapped, they explode with a fearful noise, and monstrous escape of the gasses. fa general, it is best to let such empty aloha alone —they carry in them the worst punishment that can be inflicted ; and as their action is periodical, it is easy to avoid the effect of even an explosion.--U. S. Gazette. . aj'The branch of Moan's Telegraph which is to connect Philadelphia with Hatrisburg is already under way, and advancing rapidly to completion. It is expected that the Governor's Annual Mes sage will be transmitted, by this lightuing winged conductor to the city, For the Journal, MR. CLABIC—A writer in your lest Journal has undertaken to instruct the Whigs their duty, rela tive to the' Tariff Convention, to be held at Hol lidaysburg on the 12th Inst.; and had you been content with giving publicity to hid production, without indorsing it, I should not have taken this notice of it. Every gentleman has, certainly, a right to publish his own views on political sub ' jecte, and let them pass for whet they ore worth— even an editor of a paper, known as the organ of a party, has as much right as any other citizen, but he ought to Ge careful not to substitute hie own opinion for that of the party he belongs to. With respect to the motives, (so rudely manned by the writer referred to) of the gentlemen who hive made the call for the meeting, I think them not only honest Litt highly commendable, and it le, I take it, the duty of every well wisher of Penney l iania interests, to attend the Convention, and give countenance and approbation to the proceedings. It may, its true, be a question of pOlicy whether Whigs ought to participate in conducing tho af fairs of the Convention. They can have no influ ence with the "PoWers that be"—thoir views on the subject of tile Tariff of 1842 are well known;— it is their own legitiniiie offspring, afid that fact, alOne, may be the cause of President Polk's hos tility to it. It Would, therefore, be better that the Democratic gentlemen who have tecommeftded the meeting, should cond6ct it—they were the advo cates and supporters of Mr. Polk's eiectiOn, under an impression, no doubt, that when elected, he would ebandon hie free trade notions, and contin uo the protection whieh the viatits . of the Agricul tural and Manufacturing interests of the country required.—Mr. Polk has deceiied thern,—they tend, I hope, in their proceedinge, telling him in emphatic tetnis, that he has done so. Why then, should your correspondent assail such men as Judge Burnside, and theme associated with him, in their abandonment of party tactics, tbr the gclod of their country? Why attempt t 6 interrupt them in their endeavours to do good? Bhould they he suc cesstlil in persuading the Administration to desist from measures that must end in ruin to the coun try, why, the Whigs will. derive equal benefit from their labours, with all other citizens. On so vital a question as that of the present Tar iff there ought to be no recrimination—let your correspondent (and yotirself too) buokle on the armor of opposition to the Southern opposition to Pennsylvania interest—battle with the free trade party, and not with honorable men, who have strewn themselves above party trammels, who aro about throwing themselves into the breach for the good of the country. A FARIVItR. Pennsylvania and the Tariff. The Harrisburg Union, a leading Polk paper, &Maude!, en article on the tariff with tho follow ing: "The bemocracy of Pennsylvania will sustain President Polk's administration with the same ar dent devotion nod firmness that it did Andrew Juuhnuu . n, 0.1 mlil.• vro am .twines for the ad vancement oP the great interests of our native State, we ehali die'countenance all and every at tempt, come frOm what quarter it may, calculated to produce a went of confidence in tho National Administration." That we take to be the truo Ponnsylvanisn Polk sentiment. Sustain as much of the tariff as you can, but sustain Mr. Polk at all baiaitht—Look to the principles, if you can, but look tti the man without them, whatever you do: We love to talk about the tariff, but the tariffmuat go, if Jacksoniam requirei it.—U.

The num ber of these gentlemen were not very large. Loco focoism usually keeps her fdrces in lino; but the number was, nevertheless, sufficient to prevent an election for some time, and on Saturday, forty-seven Whigs joined these six Locos, and elected Turney, sending him to the Senate of the United States, Without obligatibns to sustain a wrong measure, be cause it might be the President's, or to oppose a good ono merely because it carne trot the Whigs. The action of the Legislature thtis rebukes the mi nority, in the form of a majority, for attempting to tyrannise; and since a good Whig could not be elected for Tennessee, all good Whigs will rejoice that a Loco has been chosen, who is not pledged to the errors of his own party.— U. S. Gazette. Monr. TROUBLE is apprehended in Hancock county, Illinois, in consequence of a recent occur rence there. A Mormon, living near Camp Creek, in the North part of the County, who was suspec ted of participation in the murder of Danbenheyes, became apprehensive that a mob was about to burn his house. He, therefore; sent a request to Mqjor Warren to protect him. Major W. accordingly sent Lieutenant Everett, of the Quincy Rifle Com pany, with a few men, to guard tho Mormon's house. As the party approached the hoase, the Mormon inmates, mistaking them for tho mob, fired upon them and severely wounded Lieutenant Ev erett. He received throe shots, but none of -them are supposed to be fatal.
