JOHN PORTER,

S. GEO. MILES,
July 29, 1846.
Hon. John Blanchard, has our thanks for numer
ous favors, during the past week.
To the Whig Party of Finntingdon
County.
As the time for arranging the Treliminaries of
the political campaign is now at hand, it may not
he improper to make a few suggestions to the sov
ereign people on the aul6eet. whose interest and
duty It is to awaken and attend thereto.
The erection of the county of Blair, has put a
now face upon political affairs in our own county. I,
Instead of the overwhelming majority of fifteen or
sixteen hundred which it has been the pride and the
honor of the Whigs of Old Huntingdon to poll on
former occasions, we have now but six or seven
hundred; but, as the boundaries of the filed of ac
tion have been reduced, it is reasonable to expect
that field to be better worked than ever it was be.
fore—bettee discipline should prevail in the Whig
army—every man should have his armor buckled
on early, and be eager for the content—end fight
on until he could say with truth, "we have met the
enemy and he is ours."
In order that there may be unity and consequent
efficiency of action, it is highly necessary that on
unexceptionable Ticket should be formed. The
only questions concerning a candidate in the Dele
gate Convention should be, "Is lie honest ? Is he
capable? Has he been a faithful and consistent
Whig! Have the people of the county confidence in
him?" If these questions can be answered affirma
tively forever) , man on the 'Picket, all will be well—
they doubtless will receive the undivided support of
the Whigs, and perchance s.into votes from honest
Locofocos. All questions touching the locality, age,
Ike., of candidates, should be but minor considera
tions, if not totally disregarded.
The people themselves should be careful to attend
the delegate elections in their respective districts, so
that the popular will may be fairly represented in
the Convention. No one should consider these
matters of trivial importance; for after a moment's
reflection, they will discover that the first election
is the nem county of Huntingdon will have an im
portant bearing upon her political destiny for year's
to come. The effect of the first election will be as
lasting as the early impresaions on the human mind.
I.ocofocoistn will no doubt strain every nerve to at
tain power; and if taught its puerility in the first
lesson, it will long bear it in mind, and perhaps
scarcely dare in future to raise its destructive hand
upon the pure soil of Huntingdon county.
If to such a County Ticket as above described,
we have added a candidate for Congress possessed
of the same qualifications, the whole headed by our
excellent candidate for Canal Commissioner, we
may carry the county, the District end the State,
triumphantly.
az l. The Locofocos of Blair county hold their
County Convention to-morrow. Great exertions
are being mode by the Locofoco aspirants for the
Congresaionol Conferees of that county. Our old
friend "Janus" claims them for himself as a mat
ter of right—his price, for having soW his neigh
bors on the division question. We supposo our
Blair county Loco friends will not dispute the bill.
cc...r No news of importance from the Army.
Canal Commissioner.
The Whig papers of the State are beginning to
wake ep to the importance of the Canal Commis
sionerquestion ; and from all quarters speak in the
most encouraging language of the prospect. of the
Reform Candidate, JAS. M. Powzn. Indeed, it is
admitted on all sides, that it is entirely in the bands
of the Whig party. If they but bestir themsel4es,
poll their full vote, or nearly so, the votes which our
candidate will receive from the Locofoco party,
will ensure his election. beyond the possibility of
doubt. The Pennsylvania Telegraph of July 15,
assures the friends of Mr. Power, that Dauphin
county will give him not less than TWO THOU
SAND majority; and we clip the following article
on the subject from the last number of that truly
excellent and ably conducted paper
Are the Whigs throughout the Stole aware that
it is only necessa• y for them to he aroused to do
their duty to secure tiu election of Jas. M. POWER
for Canal Commissioner, and thereby put a check
to the system of patty plunder and favoritism that
has cost the tax-payers of Pennsylvania MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS? Are they sensible that it is only
necessary for them to do as well as they have often
done, and can now tin, to elect their candidata by
twenty thousand. majority? If not, we can as
sure them that such is thefact, and that nothing
is wanting but an united and rigorous effort from
the .Delaware to the Ohio, to carry, REFORM into
the Canal Foard, and save thousands upon thou
sands to this tax-ridden and misruled Slate ! The
people are ready for a change of men and measures.
Thousands of Those who always voted against us,
are ready and resolved to vote for Power, and thus
tender his•election most triumphant. It requires
no electioneering to carry hint farther than united
and thorough organization. He is known to he ad
mirably qualified in every respect for the office.—
All parties admit and hove full confidence in his
:ability, and all those who desire to ere o divided
Beard will vote for him for the purpose of putting
man into it who wdl oppose all improper meas
ures, till speculation and party favoritism. Lel the
Whigs Therefore, only be up and doing, and they
only be sirloin .of electing their candidate for Canal
, Commissioner.
The Pittsburg Gazette, iin an article on the same
subject says:
If our expectations ore realized we shall elect
our worthy candidate for Canal Commissioner, Mr.
PO V% ER, most triumphantly. He represents the
Ta.iff party, and his election will be hailed as.
Tariff triumph--as n return of our swindled Corn
rnonwealth back to first principles. Mr. Foster,
represents the Locofoco Anti-Tariff party, and his
election will be considered ns the final sent to the
infamy of Pennsylvania, and will be celebrated
with jay by the cotton planters and British Monti
fact urers.
There n•e many reasons why Mr. Power should
lie elected over Mr. Poster, other than these, hat
they dwindle into insignificance when compared to
thin great question. Then let every Whig in the
State, and every Tariff man of any party, who
wi s hes .to deliver the Commonwealth from the
thraldom into which the is sold by those she trus
ted, rally to her deliverance at the coming election,
and in the t iumph of Mr. Power, any to the nation
That Pennsylvania stands "disenthrolled and regen
erated,' that she will no longer despise her own
interests, or he despised by others, hut that in all
future time her vote shall he given to the party which
cbenehes her most vital interest."
The last number of the Globe contains an- I
other communication, on the subject of the Tariff;
and we are gratified at the truly Pennsylvania sen
timents expressed by the wt iter. Unlike the one
alluded to in our last, he takes strong ground in
favor of the present, to Pennsylvania, life giving
enactment, and boldly denounces McKay's Free
Trade Bill. The vet iter also frankly asserts that
the people of this State were cheated on the sub
ject of Polk's Tariff views, and ventures the pre
diction, that the people can never again he deceived
into the support of an anti-Tariff man. This looks
honest, and we honor the author for his tastily
avowals.
DEATH CF CAPTAIN PAGE.-.-NN C regret to learn
from the St. Louis papers that this gallant officer,
who distinguished himself in the battle of Palo
Alto, and in which he received a dreadful wound,
breathed his last on the 12th inst., on board the
steamer At issouri, when a short distance above Cairo.
His remains have been taken to St. Louis for inter

The Tariff—Probable Vote in the
Senate.
Oliver Oldschool, in his letter to the U. S. Gaz
cite, of the 23d inst. gives up all hope of saving
the Tariff of 1842. He says:
I consider the passage of the bill now as morally
certain; as certain as anything that is to be done.
Mr. Jarnagin and Mr. Haywood will both vote for
it, which will carry it by two majority. The vote
will stand 29 to 27, namely :
For McKay's Bill.—Maine 1, New Hampshire
1, New York 2, Virginia 1, North Carolina 1,
South Carolina 2, Georgia 1, Florida 2, Alabama 2,

County Convention to-day. We hope they may
form a Ticket that will carry daughter Blair with
a rush! They have the material.
al- The Native party of Philadelphia city and
county has, it aroma, divided into two separate di.
vishes—the " Ohl School" and the "New School."
Gen. Smith and the Eagle hoed the former ; and
William D. Baker and the Sun the latter. The
war between the leaders of the two tedium wezeth
warmer and warmer '."—Loric. Tribune.
Cameron and IVebster.
Mr. Cameron, on Saturday morning presented a
remonstrance from a Democratic meeting held at
Sunbury, against the passage of the Tariff bill.—
In doing this he took occasion to make some re
marks—to state from whence this remonstrance
came, from the democratic county of Ncirthumber
land, which gave from a 1000 to 1200 democratic
majority. Ho presented another remonstrance from
Berko—old democratic Berks—which always saved
the party in Pennsylvania, [by giving any required
majority.) This, he said, was no whip, panic, but
a democratic panic which pervaded the whole of
Pennsylvania, at the danger the tariff of '42 was
now exposed to.
Mr. Webster remarked that it was a strange cir
cumstance that while we heard by Telegraph news
of the joy in England at the prospect of our over
turning the present Tariff, petitions should pour in
from Pennsylvania protesting against this threat
ened destruction of her interests by the passage of
the present bill. Mr. Mr. asked Mr. Cameron, if
at the democratic meetings in l'rnnsylvania during
the campaign in '44, there were not various flags,
banners, transparencies emblazoned with inscrip•
bone of
Polk, Dallas,
Oregon, resas,
and
The Democratic Tariff of 1842."
or with
Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of '42,"
Mr. Cameron replied that he had attended as
many democratic meetings as he cask', in his own
State, and wherever he went the democratic flags,
banners, hand bills, transparencies, &c., uniformly
bore the inscriptions above, and also the name of
Muhlenberg" until he died, and then of the name
of Shuck.
Mr. Webster said there seemed to be but three
things for which Pennsylvania cared--four at the
outside—namely, "Polk, Dallas, and lire Tariff
of '42," or "Polk, Dallas, Shank, and the Tar
iff of '42."
Mr. Cameron said that without the last neither
of the others could have been carried in Pennsyl
vania. This confession excited a general smile.—
Poor Pennsylvania! how she in laughed at for her
rerdancy !—Oldschool.
Instioe to Gen. Scott.
A reaction in favor of tho gallant Scott is taking
place throughout the country. A Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer under date,
of July 20, writes as follows:
From several circumstances which have leaked ,
out during the present week, it is evident that Mr.
Polk and his advisers never dreamt of a protracted •
war with Mexico. According to their calculation,
everything was to go on upon the steam system,
end the whole affair was to be settled under high
pressure applications. It war evidently anticipated
that the second or third blow would bring Mexico
to her knees, and heap whole wagon loads full of
laurels upon the brow of the President, who in
one small head had devised the gigantic plan. The
hardy veteran Scott was laughed at, when he had
the nerve to tell the government that the work re
quired time, and Pelion upon Ossa came tumbling
upon him, because he had the impudence to tell
the truth. But time proves oil things, and the
inactivity of the a. my is beginning to speak in.a
sober second voice, and to open the eyes of the peo
ple to the facts as they really are. If the friends
of General Scott will have patience, everything
will come right at last, and the very people who a
month ago were denouncing hint, will be the first
to do him justice."
What does poor humbugged Pennsylvania say I
now, as to Mr, Polk's Tariff principles? It will
hardly be contended that he is a better Tariff
man than Mr. Clay V It is unfortunately, how
ever, now too late to remedy the evil--the deed is
done.-- Gettysburg (Pa.) Sentinel.
And what will poor humbugged Pennsylvania
say to her t. favorite son," Mr. Buchanan, who
contributed to her deception by representing that
the Tariff of 1842 would be safe, in the bands of
Mr. Polk thanwith Henry Clay 7—Staunton (Va.)
Bpeclator.
a:1 We suppose our neighbor of the Intelligen
ce, Mr. Buchanan's peculiar organ, might give
his share of the answer to this interesting question.
But will he do it I—Lancaster Tribune.
Scott arid the People.
The following resolutions were passed at a recent
Counts Meeting of the Whigs of Cambria county :
Resolved, That we have firm, abiding and un
bounded confidence in the wisdom, bravery and pa
triotism of GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT, and view
with contempt the late cowardly attempt of James
K. Polk and his minions, to lower this great man
l in the estimation of the American people.
Resolved, That the " Hero of Chippewa" is cur
I first and last choice for the Presidency in '4B
knowing that the same success will attend our
efforts under the banner of SCOTT that attended
us under that of the Hero of Tippecanoe in '4O.
The Tory Artillery Spilled.
The burning indignation which the assaults of
the tory press upon G.. SCOTT aroused in the
breasts of the People, and the volly from the coon-
try press, have silenced the tory battery and spiked
its guns. Not a flash is now to be seen, not a
black cockade hoisted, from the Ledger down to
the smaller sewers. They could not face the indig
nation of freemen, who honor a brave end scarred
patriot, who has seen more danger, and done more
service for his country, THAN ANY MAN LIV
ING! and the dispatch with which they have
withdrawn their forces, and skulked from view, was
not equaled by the Mexicans in their retreat from
Resets de la Palma, or evacuation of Ilatamoras;
and we feel confident that it will be sometime ere
they rear their heads again, adorned with the black
cockade.
The present condition of the Army, end its in
ability to proceed in ins &aligned conquest of Mex
ico, the rainy season adverted to by Scott, and rid
iculed by the Tories, which now prevails there, all
confirm the wisdom and foresight of his calculations
relative to the war. Those who eoubted it now
ate that tory iam is not more wise or prudent than
it in patriotic.—Pa. Telegraph.
A young lady of Baltimore, Mitre Margaret Huger

From the Hollidaysburg Standard,
Melancholy Accident.
Wo regret to state that a young lady, named
Mara GALLAGHER, about 14 years of age, was ac
cidentally drowned on Saturday lost, in the three
mile Darn, nearly opposite Canoe Furnace, in this''
county. She was on her way from Boston to visit
some relatives in this place, when from some cause, 1
she missed her footing, on the deck of the boat end
was precipitated into the dam. A passenger promptly
jumped overboard and endeavored to rescue her,
but was unable to do eo ; a second passenger swam
to their assistance, when ail three became strangled,
and the two gentlemen were only saved from drown
ing by the captain p• °sooting a long pole, which
they grasped, and were drawn ashore.
A tier being under water a short time, the body
of the unfortunate girl was recovered and every
effort made to resuscitate it, but life was extinct.—
; The body was brought to this borough, and given
into the hands of the friends whom she expected to
meet in the full enjoyment of youthful health and
• hope—but who now mourn her sudden death.
We understand that an uncle of the deceased,
I named Thomas Gallagher, resides no Beaton.
1?t, man lic.—Two Indian women accompanied
by a younger femele, went a few days since into a
store in Quebec for the purpose of making purcha
ses, when the young woman was recognized as the
daughter of Mr. Kingsland, a stevedore living in i
the city. Mr. K. was sent for, and declared his
belief that the girl was his daughter, but she would
have nothing to do with him, resisting all the pa
ternal appeals and clinging to her Indian compan•
ions. The party was afterwards carried before a
magistrate and various affidavits taken, the females
being finally sent to prison to await the return from
i the country of Mrs. Kingsland, the supposed mother
of the young savage. Mr. K., it scents lost his
daughter nine or ten years since, and supposed site
had fallen in the river and been drowned, toeing at
that time but three years of age. She cannot speak
a word of English.
Mackberry Syrup.—This syrup is said to be I
almost a specific for the summer complaint. In
1832, it was successful in more than one case of
the cholera. The fruit is now in market, and the
present is the proper time to make it. To two
quarts of juice of blackberries, and ono pound loaf
sugar, half dozen nutmegs, half ounce cinnamon,
quarter ounce cloves, quarter ounce alepice, pulver
ised. Boil all together for a short time, and when
cold, add a pint of fourth proof brandy. From a
teaspoonful to a wine glass, according to the age of
the patient, till relieved, is to be given.
AsiTua.tcyrit FOUNDERS.—The Chikiswalungo
Furnace was put in blast a few days ago, by Dr. E.
HALDEMAN one of the proprietors. This is the
second most successful 4. blow in" by this gentle
man. We understand that he intends to dispense
with the service of a Founder entirely, and conduct
the operation of the Furnace himself. A very few
years ago the art of making Iron with Anthricate
Coal was considered difficult, and many failed in
the attempt. Mr. Perry, a Welchman, we believe
was the first who succeeded, and since then the
I business has been principally confined to Welch
men. Moro recently, however, some few Amer
icans have been mastering the art, and in a short
time American Founders will be as abundant as
they aro now scarce.-- Columbia Spy.
A M AMMON' at MAN. -They have a fellow up

to his grand child.

at Mr. Hornberger's tavern, in Millerstown, on Fri
day afternoon last, by shooting himself with a pistol.

Dear Sir received last evening from the
Adjutant General of Penn's, G. W. Bowmari,Esq.,
his " General Orders, No. 5." This document is
rather lengthy for publication cntire ; but as it con
tains matter that Will deeply interest some, if not
all of your readers, I will give you a few extracts
from it. It gives me pleasure to do so on many
accounts; and more especially, as it will show to
the world, that the Tenth Division of Penn's em'
braces within its bounds, many brave and patriotic
citizens, who, imbued with the spirit of '76, are
ready end willing to do battle for their country on
any emergency—no matter what may be the cause
, of the strife or warfare, their cry is, our Country,
our whole country and nothing but our country )
right or wrong
It would seem that 90 companies of Volunteers,
fully complete and equipped, have tendered their
services to the President el' the H. S. "to march tb
Mexico or elsewhere, whenever ordered ; ' and their
services have been accepted. The following is a
list of those from the 10th Division:
No. 56. Washington Guards, Copt. Michael

Holliday; 74 non-commissioned officers and pri
vates. Whole number, 77.

The quota to furnished by Pennsylvania is, Six
Regiments: whereas, enough have already volun
teered and been accepted, to form Nine Regiments,
The aggregate is 7,475 !
The Adjutant General, hating limited the time
of reception of volunteers to the 11th July, inst. ,
the time being short, many whole regiments and
companies lute since tendered their services, but
too tote to be included in the " Orders No. 5." The
aggregate not included, amounts to 899, rank and
file—among which is the Volunteer Battellion or
Col. Barrett, of the 2,1 Brigade, 10th Division
Whole number of volunteers 8,374! !
" Should the services of all those who have en ,
I rolled themselves, and are ready to he mustered into
the service, not be required, it will be an unplea
sant duty to make a selection, as all are desirous of
tho distinction and honor of participating in the
patriotic service of the country."
The Adjutant General says to the Soldiers:
"By the voluntary enrollment of your names ,
you have not only made a legal engagement, but
what is of much more concern to you, your honor
has been pledged to enter the service of your coun
try, whenever required. You are therefore ordered
to hold yourselves in readiness to obey promptly,
any further oiders that may emiaate from the proper
authority."
The Governor says, in his address to the Presi
dent of the United States:
"In my judgment some substantial recognition
of their very patriotic action, is due by the General
Government to the citizens who have enrolled them
selves in the present emergency, and who are now
spending their time and money in discipline and
preparation for the public service. That suitable
provision should be made to remunerate these who
have complied with the requests of your Excellency,
whether they are called into service or not, appears
to me to be only the duty of Government, as an
act of justice, but is also dictated by the soundest
principles of public policy."
The foregoing will be sufficient to show the
community how matters stand in reference to the
military of Pennsylvania.
I am, very respectfully, yours,

tho Whigs of our county and their delegates in the
August Convention, the name of ISAAC FISHER,
Esq., for nomination as our candidate for Represen
tative in the next Legislature. Mr. Fisher is so
well known amongst us, that it is useless to hero
act forth hie sterling integrity of character, his ca
pabilities, or his long and disinterested devotion to
the common Whtg cause. I am not aware that
Mt. Fisher seeks any office, but I know that Ito is
too good a Whig to decline the call of hie party to
1 servo in any capacity.
Great Excitement in Lexington,
Kentucky.
A grent excitement has been produced among the
people of Lexington, Ky., on account of the un
conditional acquittal of a wealthy murder by the
name of Shelby, who, it appears from the published
statements, shot down his victim, Henry M. florin",
in one of the public greets of that city, for a lip
trivial offence. If the newspaper accounts be cei
reet, they furnish strong palliation for the cent
of the people. The following letter to the editd! aL
the Georgetown Advocate, gives an ammo of kite
doings of the people, and some idea of themes O
f-erred to: k
LEXINGTON. Ky., July 13.
Mr. French : The light of this mornin g
disclosed to the citizens of Lexington and
Fayette county, nine eigies, hanging . in
front of the Court House, representing,
Judge Buckner and the eight Jurors who
were for the acquittal of Lafayette Shel
by, indicted for the murder Henry M.
Horine. Judge Buckner was represented in
a false lace, and a head without any place
or brains ; one hand resting upon his poc
ket, with the inscription "BRIBERY;" on
the reverse side appeared in large capitals,
"A JUDGE W ITHOU'T JUSTICE."
On each juror was written "Perjury,"
and on one "Money g e ts me!" Some ef
forts were made to have them hauled down
beim t a crowd could collect but the jailor
who undertook it was compelled to retire.
This being County Court day, as soon as
Court was in session, application was made
for an order to have them taken down ;
but it was refused, the Court saying, "We
had no hand in putting them dare, and we
will have none in taking them away."
A few minutes before 11 o'clock, A. M.
Capt. Robert Wilson appeared at the win
dow in the second story of the Court House
and addressed the crowd, which was very
large, in a speech of same fifteen minutes,
in which he spoke in ho very soft terms of
the judge soil jury, and affirmed that ill
Horine had killed Shelby instead fir Shel
by killing Horine, he would have been
hung in less than 24 hours; but here is a
wealthy and aristocratic murderer by the
force of his money turned loose upon so
ciety M urder—foul, unprovoked & inex
cusable.,has been committed on an unotren , l
ing young man in our street, and this per
jured jury has let the murderer go Out un
whipt of justice,
At the close of his speech he read sev
eral resolutions. which were adopted by
acclamation. The first resolution was
that in five minutes after 12 olclock, they
would proceed to burn in the public streets,
the "infamous jnrors." The second ,I
could not hear, But the third called tor
the appointment of a committee to wait on
Judge Buckner on his return from St. Lou
is, and earnestly request him to resign It a
office as Judge of the Disttiet Court.—
This resolution was received with a per,
feet round of applause, and the committee
immediately appointed Captain Wilson
their chaii mote, He declared it would be
the proudest act at his life to present that
resolution to Judge Buckner .°
A committee of nine *Ss then appoint
ed to take down the effigies, which was
done amid the roll of martial music and
the shouts of the crowd. A procession
was formed under the direction of Mr. Lo
gan ; the effigieS were elevated on poles,
and the whole moved of to the pine of the
Rogue's Merck; after passing stung sei ,
eral of the principal streets, they formed
a circle on Cheapsidc, and burned to aahes
the effigies.
What is the state of the public Mind
when such things happen in broad day
light! The excitement is very great.—
There is to be a meeting of the young men
to-night at the City Hall, to collect all the
facts in connection with the murder and
the trial. What the ultimate object is I
do not know. May heaven save us from
lie whirlpools of anarchy.
A number of exploded shells and round shot.
thrown by the Mexicans into Fort Brown, have
been cent to the Museum of one of the Baltimore
high schools.
