nt Harrisburg, for the purpose of pre•
sting to the people suitable candidates
the offices of . Governor and Canal
Commissioner of this Commonwealth,
and having discharged that duty, pre
rent the following resolutions as expres
sive of the views of the Convention :
Resolved, That this Convention offers
its sincere congratulations to the people
of this Commonwealth, and of the Uni
ted States at large, upon the rallying of
so large a majority of the people to the
principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and the faith of the founders
of the Republic.
Resolved, That the triumph of the
Whig Democracy, as exhibited by the
majority in both houses of the General
Assembly of this Commonwealth, can
not be viewed as complete, until the Ex
ecutive branch of the government shall
be made to harmonize with the Legisla
ture.
Resolved, That having entire confi
dence in the political integrity and sound
Democratic Whig principles of General
JAMES IRVIN, of Centre county, as
exhibited in a long and active life—be
lieving his talents to be of the highest
order and fully equal to the due perfor
mance of any trust that may be reposed
in him by the people, and knowing his
public and private character to be pure
and unspotted, this Convention unani
mously recommend him to the people of
Pennsylvania as a suitable candidate for
the office of Governor of the Common•
wealth.
Resolved, That in offering the name
of this distinguished citizen for the
.suffrages of the people of Pennsylvania,
we design to make no new issues as to
measures or principles, but adhering to
the ancient landmarks of the Democratic
Republican party, as established by the
Father of his country, by Jefferson, Mad
ison, and Monroe—the most prominent
of which are the protection of the Agri
cultural, the Mineral and the Menefee.
turing interests of this Commonwealth
and of the United States at large, against
the competition and hostility of foreign
nations, and pauper labor; especially of
England ; equal justice towards all na
tions but entangling alliance with none ;
—the supremacy of the people over
their servants—the restriction or control
of Executive power, and the preserva
tion of national prosperity and individ
ual happiness.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Convention, the people of Pennsylvania
—the practical men who are concerned
in - the prosperity of the Commonwealth,
the developement of its resources, and
the protection of its industry, have here.
tofore had from friends of candidates
enough of hollow profession for the par
ticular interests of the State, and are
called upon now to sustain a candidate
whose life and principles are pledged
for his faithful administration of public
affairs, as they are identified with the
prosperity of the people of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That we have the fullest
confidence in the ability and integrity of
JOSEPH W. PATTON, presented to
the people by this Convention as a can
didate for the important office of Canal
Commissioner; and feel confident that
if elected, the happiest consequences
will result from a thorough change of
men and measures connected with the
public improvements of the Common
wealth, and the introduction of that en
ergy and economy so necessary for their
prosperity.
Resolved, That the Protection of Amer.
lean Manufactures, and the independence
of American labor, as they were the pol
icy of the %% higs before and during the
- Revolution, and their policy now : that
the Tariff of 1842 was the source of
unexampled prosperity to the country,
and that its repeal has been attended
with results detrimental to the true in
terests of all sections and classes.
Resolved, That if an addition to our
territory be desirable, it should not be
attained by injustice, nor Attended with
an extension of slavery ; that while we
respect and will sacredly observe every
compromise of the Constitution, we
believe that the interests of North and
South, the welfare of the race, and the
honor of the nation, demand that terri
tory should not be acquired for the pur
pose of an extension of slavery.
Resolved, That true democracy de
mands a jealousy of Executive power ;
that a renewal and continuance of the
power of a Chief Magistrate is corrupt•
ing and dangerous in its influence and
tendencies; that we recognize and adopt,
as the expressed will of the people, the
ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.
Resolved, That the thanks of the whole
nation are due to Major General TAYLOR,
and the brave officers under his corn
mind, for their distinguished conduct
in the present war, in the victories of
Palo Alto, Reseca de la Palma, and the
storming of Monterey; and that we
also view with a just pride the spirit
and alacrity With Which the men of
Pennsylvania have, iii nutnbers far be
yond a proportion of the State, respon
ded to the call of their country, and ral
lied under its victorious banner. It is
an earnest that the fame of our ancestors
will never be tarnished, and that Penn
sylvania is ever ready to do her duty.
Mr. DcrFiELD moved that the thanks
of the Convention be tendered to the
County Commissioners for the use of
the room. Adopted.

the officers of the Convention. Adopted.

FROM MEXICO.
TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES !
[From the North American.)
LATER FROM TAMPICO.
arrival of Gen. Scott—Vera Cruz report
ed as Evacuated by order of Santa anna
—Troops marched into the Interior—
✓lttacks threatened upon Saltillo, Mon
terey and Xatamoras.
WASHINGTON, March 8-9 P. M.
By the arrival of the schooner Delta,
at New Orleans on the Ist inst., dates
from Tampico to the 20th ult. have been
received. Gen. Scott had arrived there
the day previous.
It was reported that Vera Cruz had
been evacuated by order of Santa Anna,
and that the troops were marched into
the interior.
Mr. Lumsden, of the New Orleans
Picayune, writes from Tampico, on the
18th, that he has seen a letter from a
Mexican officer to a friend, dated San
Luis, Feb. 9th, which stated that Santa
Anna was to march on Saltillo prepara
tory to attacking Monterey. Gen. Ur
rea, with 5000 troops, was at Victoria,
and intended soon to march upon Mat
amoras. Both these attacks, the writer
anticipated, must prove successful, and
says, we will give the Yankees hot work
in the North while marching upon Vera
Cruz. The writer is Private Secretary
to Santa Anna.
It is pretty certain that Santa Anna
has arrived at Saltillo, and it is even re•
ported that he had engaged Gen. Tay
lor, but the latter was not believed to
be at Tampico. . _
General . Scott has issued orders to
regulate the punishment of all crimes
committed by Mexicans or Americans
not provided for by army rules, after
trial before a military commission, ac
cording to the laws of the United States.
LATE FROM THE BRAZOS,
Gen. Butler arrived at New Orleans—
Gen. Taylor at Saltillo—llgua Neuva
taken Possession of—Embarkation of
Gen. Worth's Division—Loss of the
Royal Mail Steamship Tweed—Sixty
persons lost.
The steam propellor Washington ar
rivied at New Orleans on the 26th ulti,
from the Brazos, which she left on the
23rd. General Butler came a passenger
--he was suffering so much from his
wound as to entirely disable him from
active service.
General Taylor had arrived at Sa lt►llo
with Briggs' and Thomas' batteries and
the Second Mississippi regiment on the
2d Feb. He has taken possession of
Aqua Nueva, and all the troops are to go
there, with the exception of a few who
remain in town.
There was no doubt that Gen. Minon
would yet cause considerable trouble.—
Gen. Taylor is very much in want of
light troops.
A letter from the Brazos, under date
of the 23d, published in the Picayune,
says that Gen. Taylor is busy making
water tanks and collecting train wagons
and pack mules. The enemy had left
that part of the country for parts un
known, but supposed in the direction of
Vera Cruz.
Gen. 'Worth's division had all am ,
barked, with the exception of the draz
goons and the light artillery batteries:
Gen. Worth had MOW' a day or two pre
vious in thd Steamer Editht
The AttreVida,arrived at New Orleans
from Campeaehyi and brings dates to

wreck of the Royal Mail Steanier Tweed,
on the 12th of February, on the north
east end of Alcarnes, Sixty persons
were drowned. An expedition had been
sent froit Carripeachy to her assistance.
Ur. A letter front tt highly intelligent
and well informed gentleman at Paris,
says the National Intelligencer, dated
Jan. 30th, published in the Providence
Journal, say% that the writer was infor•
med a few ctLys since, on very high au•
thority, "that Paredes is in Paris, en•
deavoring, but without success, to en
tangle the French Government in the
affairs of Mefico ; that Paredes gives it
as his opinion that the Mexican war will
be a long one."
