WMG NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR:
GEN. JAMES IRVIN,
OF CENTRE COUNTY.
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER:
JOSEPH W. PATTON ,
OF CUMBERL,IND COUNTY.
ANOTHER VETO!
Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad Killed !
It is with surprise and indignation
that we annoutiCe to the people of this
county, that Gov. Shunk has VETOED
the bill incorporating the "Huntingdon
and Broad Top Railroad and Coal Com
pany." Our representative, Mr. BLAitt,
succeeded in having this bill passed
through the Legislature, without any se
rious oppdsition ; and no one dreamed
that the Executite veto would defeat the
project. The veto was sent into the
House, only one day before the adjourn
ment. Had it been sent in a few days
sooner, our representative assures us it
would have been passed by the consti
tutional majority.
This bill contemplated the construc
tion of a railroad from the borough of
Huntingdon to the rich coal beds of
Broad Top; and the incorporation of a
Company to dig and transport the coal
to market. The advantages arising from
this project to the citizens of this town
and a large portion of the people of the
county, must be manifest to all. A large
sum of money would have been ex
pended among us by Eastern capitalists,
in the construction of the road. To sup
ply the wants of the hands employed,
our farmers would have found a ready
and good market for all their surplus
produce. And when completed, 9. large
body of them would hate found it a
very convenient out-let to transport their
grain and other produce to the canal.—
Coal could have been procured in this
market at such a price as would have
made it a cheap, safe, and convenient
fuel, as well for the poor as the rich
man. Business of all kinds would hate
been benefitted by the improvement, and
no injury whatever could have resulted
from it. And what could have induced
the Governor to strike this blow at us,
we are at a loss to determine, as we have
not yet seen his veto message. Proba
bly he has done it in anticipation of the
tremendous drubbing he expects us to
give him at the polls in October next,
Be this as it may, we can tell him now,
that when he receives the returns from
this county, he will rue the day that he
placed his enormous Executive foot upon
the Huntingdon and Broad Top project.
We shall recur to this subject again.
PA. TELEGRAPH—Extra.—The editor
of the Pa, Telegraph proposes publish=
ing a cheap Campaign paper, under the
above title, to be comtnenced on the Ist
of May next, and continued until the
second Tuesday of October, at the low
price of fifty cetits, in advance, The
ability of Mr. FENN, as an editor, needs
no endorsement from us. He has been
long known to the Whigs of this State,
as an able champion of the true Whig
Faith, We commend the enterprise to
the support of the people.
CENTRAL RAILROAD.—The supplement
which passed the House of Representa
tives some time since, and ivhich was
amended in the Senate, and delayed in
that body until the last day of the session,
was lost in the House for want of two
thirds to take it up. All this was ab
corn pl i shed by the ingeniiity of Senator
Gibbons, who seemed bent on Misrepre
senting his constituents in regard to this
great enterprise. The supplement in
question, authorized corporations to subs
scribe to the stock df the Central Rail
road. The Philadelphia papers, how
ever, appear confident that the loss of
the supplement will not materially im
pede the progress of the work.
HIGH WATER.—The rain which corn.
menced on Saturday night last, and con
tinued Without much interruption until
Monday morning, has caused almost as
great a rise in the Juniata as we had
last March. We have not heard of any
damage to the canal by the freshet, and
hope none may occur.
IRVIN AND PATTON,
The nomination of these gentlemen
by the Whig State Convention, has been
received with a perfect shout of appro
val by the ‘N hig press of the State. It
has never been our lot to witness such
universal approbation of State nomina
tions before. It is well known that se
veral leading and influential whig jour
nals advocated the nomination of Hon.
James Cooper, as the Whig candidate
for Governor, 'previous to the meeting of
the Convention ; but since the decision
of that body has been in favor of the
" popular Congressman," of this district,
these Journals come up to his support
with an enthusiasm and spirit which al
most, if not altogether, eclipses his ori
ginal supporters. It makes us feel proud
of our party when we can witness such
patriotic devotion to principle as this.
It shows conclusively that the Whigs
are contending for proper measures, and
not for the spoils of office. And as a
result of this harmony and unanimity,
the triumphant election of IRVIN and
PATTON is placed beyond all doubt.
The PEOPLE are for them, and the office
holders and office-hunters are therefore
bound to be defeated. The rank and file
of the Democratic party—those who care
nothing about office—are utterly disgust
ed with the re-nomination of Shunk, and
will have no hesitation about casting
their votes for Gen. hum, who is fresh
from the ranks of the people, and whose
every aspiration is for the honor and
prosperity of Pennsylvania. We are
free to admit that the Locofoco party
were at one time able to carry a majori
ty of the people of this State for their
candidates. But we rejoice to know,
also, that that day is past. The Kane
fraud can never again succeed in this
Commonwealth. Those who practised
it upon the people in 1844, were re
buked last fall to the tune of 9,000 ma
jority against their Free Trade candi
date, Foster; and the signs of the times
indicate that Polk, Shuck, Longstreth,
and Free Trade will be defeated at the
coming election by a majority not less
than 20,000.
The Gettysburg [Adams county] Star,
which was an earnest advocate for the
nomination of Bon. James Cooper, as
the Whig candidate for Governor, an
nounces the result of the late Whig
Convention, and thus speaks for itself,
and Adams county, the residence of Mr.
Cooper
To this decision we bow with good will, and
assure our political bretliren'throughout the State,
that on the second Tuesday of October next, the
Whigs of the 'Young Guard' will, as usual, be at
their post, battling for Whig principles, and the
nominee of the Whig party.
"Ac has been well remarked by a cotemporary,
an important trust has been confided to the Whig
party, and as Whigs and Pennsylvanians, they
I
should faithfully discharge it. All personal predi.
lections and considerations, all factious feelings,
all spirit of contention, crimination and recrimina
tion, should now be laid down us a sacrifice upon
the altar of fealty, to the best interests of the party
and the country, and victory at the polls in Octo
ber be the chief desideratum. Let the motto of
every Whig be— , Union and Harmony, Concilia
tion—everything for the Party, nothing for Men,'
and victory will crown our effort.
Once more our glorious banner out,
Upon the breeze we throw,
Beneath its fold with song and shout,
Let's charge upon the foe."
Jhe Harrisburg Telegraph, a paper
which was also reckoned among the ad
vocates of Mr. Cooper's nomination,
thus speaks of the candidates nomina
ted by the Whig Convention :
"Toe PEOPLE OFTIITS STATE WERE SWINDLED
BT PEDERAL PALSEIIOODe IN 1844: TREE NEST
BE PREPARED TO MEET THEM IN 1847. The Whig
State Convention nominated with great unanimity,
that true patriot and friend of hia country, Gen.
IRVIN—a man againat whom the tongue of Fed. ,
nil slander will wag with impotency. His charm.
ter is without stain or blemish—his honest, pure,
and upright life is proverbial—and his well-known
Pennsylvania principles will rally around hint a
strength that must hear him onwattl to VICTORY.
In the nomination for Canal Commissioner,
the Whigs have not been leap fortunate in present
ing an excellent man against the Federal Fres
Trade nominee. Joseph W. Patton ie a man who
has hid several years experience on our public
works—is well versed in the duties of the office,
and undeishinds equally well the interests of the
Commonwealth that he may be called upon to
guard; He is also well known, and highly es
teemed by all acquainted with him. With such
candidates, the Whigs and Friends of Pennsylva
nia and her intermits, have nothing to fear, if they
but do their duty."
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—We are in
formed by a friend that, on the Bth inst.
a young man named Jacob Figart, was
thrown off a timber raft by the oar, at
the upper dam at Tyrone Forges, Blair
county, and drowned. The body has
not yet been found.
A REBELLIOUS PREDICTION !—The Har
risburg Intelligences., in giving an ac
count of the Locofoco State Convention,
says, Mr. Overfield addressed the Con
vention, and warned the Democracy to
be careful how they proceeded to chop
heads off. They may nominate Gov.
Shunk, he said, but so certainly as he
was nominated, SO CERTAINLY DID
'DEFEAT AWAIT THE PARTY!
SPRING ELECTION.
The election in this district for Judge
and Inspectors, on Friday last, resulted
as follows. The district is composed of
Huntingdon borough, Henderson town
ship, and a small portion of Walker:
JUDGE—A. S. Porter (loco), 105
George Noisier (whig). 125
TICSPECTOBS—David Black, 169
Thomas Fisher, 117
The Locofocos, it will be seen, have
secured their Judge by only 40 majori
ty, after several days hard drilling of
their forces; and that, too, in a district
in which the Whigs had no hopes of
success. Last fall the Locofoeo candi
date for Congress had 116 majority in
this district ; and it must also be recol
lected, that the new township of Brady
is taken from us, where the whigs car
ried their Judge, on Friday, by 25 ma
jority—which, if added to Mr. Numer's
vote, would only leave his loco oppo
nent 15 majority. And it is also known
that more than this number of whigs in
this borough neglected to vote, while
every ;oco vote was polled. Under
these circumstances, Mr. Numer, our
candidate fur Judge, has done exceed
ingly well; and although not elected,
he put the Locofocos to very considera
ble trouble to defeat him. In October
next, Gen. IRVIN will have a majority
in this heretofore Locofoco district—
mark that!
BOROUGH OFFICERS.—The following is
a list of the new borough officers elect
—the Assessor being for the township
of Henderson and the borough, viz
Constable—Thomas L. States,
Overseers of the Poor—W. L. Snyder,
Thomas Adams. _ .
School Director;---Tkos. P. Campbell,
Thos. Burehinell.
✓lssessor—John Simpson
BRADY TOWNSHIP,
The first election in the new township
of Brady came off on Friday last, and
the whigs carried their Judge and every
thing upon which a contest was made,
by 25 majority. This majority will, we
are assured, be doubled for " Old Iron•
sides" in October next. The following
are some of the officers elected :
Judge--Jas. Lane.
Justice of the Peace—Wirt. Hare,
Constable—Adam Warfel,
WALKER TOWNSHIP.
The following are some of the officers
elected in this township. The Judge
and Assessor are Whigs;
Judge—Wm. Dean.
Justice of the Peace—Andrew Fraker.
Supervisors—Wm. Grysinger, John
Given.
Assessor—John Ridenour,
Politics do not enter very largely into
the township elections in this county, but
where contests between the two parties
have been made, the indications are very
fluttering to the JV/eig Cause. The people
arc awaking to their interests, and will
not any longer blindly follow Party for
the mere love of Party. Gen. IRVIN
is favorably known to the whole people
of this county. They have confidence
in his intelligence, and love him for his
many virtues; and when the election
day comes round, he will not only bring
out the whole Whig forces, but will re
ceive such a vote from the honest Tariff
Democrats, as will swell his majority to
at least NINE HUNDRED in old Hun-
tingdon.
A Supplement
The following supplement to the act
erecting Bedford county, has pased
both branches of the Legislature, and
been signed by the Governor. We pub
lish it for the information of all con
cerned:
SEC. 1. Be it enacted, 4-c., That the
supplement passed the 12th day of April,
1845 appointing commissioners to re
survey and mark the line of boundary
between certain parts of Bedford and
Huntingdon counties, be and the same
is hereby repealed—and all acts per
formed, and powers exercised, by said
commissioners, under said supplement,
are hereby abrogated and annulled, and
the old line of boundary' between the
counties of Bedford and Huntingdon, as
it was recognized and known previous
to the action of said commissioners, is
hereby restored and re-established be
tween the old Gap in Sideling Hill, to
the Elk Gap in Tussey's mountain.
LAMENTABLE.—The New York Tri
bune says that a servant girl at Brook
lyn, in the family of Gen. H. B. Dur
yea, of that city, last week sent all her
earnings, $3O, to her friends in Ireland,
and only yesterday received information
that her father, mother, brothers and sis
ters, eight in number, had died of star
vation. The poor girl, as may be ex
pected, is frantic. Another girl, in the
family of N. B. Morse, received infor
mation that two of her sisters had died
of starvation.
A FACTIOUS GOVERNOR!
The 10th Judicial District is left with
out a President Judge, in consequence
of the factious conduct of Gov. Shunk.
Petitions signed by sixteen thousand citi
zens of the district without distinction
of party, were sent to the Governor ask
ing the re-apoointment of Hon. Thomas
White, whose term of service has expi
red. But the Governor has obstinately
refused to grant the prayer of the peo
ple, because Judge White does not hap
pen to be a political partizan of his.—
The Senate, determined to stand by the
people, promptly rejected both J. M. Bur
rell and S. A.Gilmore, Esq's. successive
ly nominated by the Governor; and sev
eral Senators declared in their places
that no one but Judge White, the choice
of the people of the District, could be
confirmed by that body. Yet notwith
standing all this, on the last day of the
session, just before the final adjournment
the Governor nominated Wilson McCan
dless, Esq., of Pittsburg, who, it was
known would not accept, if confirmed.
He was also rejected. A friend in liar•
risburg communicated the fact to Mr.
McCandless, by Telegraph, who, in re
ply, pays Mr. Shunk the following left
handed compliment for his trouble :
Trios. Lrooxyr, Esq., HARTIIRBURG your
despatch is not a hoax, an unwarrantable liberty
has been taken with my name, for it Is well known
I would not accept the best Judgeship in the gift
of the Governor, under any circumstances. It is
not pleasant to be ostracised by a Federal Senate,
and you are authorized to make this public imme
diately. WILSON McCANDLESS.
From the above, it would appear that
rather than comply with the wishes of
the people, the Governor was willing to
force the appointment upon a gentleman
who did not want it at all.
Mr. Shuck may expect to hear thunder
from Judge White's district in October.
The people can make themselves heard
at the polls,
THE WHIG LEGISLATURE,
The Legislature adjourned on Tues
day of last week, and the members have
all returned to their constituents. The
past (notwithstanding all the efforts of
the Locofoco minority to the contrary)
has been emphatically a short, working
session. The Whig Press promised the
tax-payers of the Commonwealth that
the session would be a short one, and
nobly have the Whig representatives re
deemed that promise. The people have
thus been shown, what Whig legislation
and Whig economy can do. A prece
dent has been set for all time to come,
which cannot be disregarded with im
punity. The Whig Legislature, during
its short session, has transacted more
business, than any of the lengthy, extra
vagant Locofoco Legislatures which
have assembled for years.
The Whig Legislature of 1847, says
the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, was in
session only SEVENTY-ONE DAYS,
and submitted four hundred and fifty
nine bills and resolutions to the Gover
nor. The Locofoco session last year
lasted ONE HUNDRED AND SIX
DAYS, and but four hundred and sixty
one bills and resolutions were passed.
The Whig Legislature transacted as
much business as the last Locofoco Le
gislature, and adjourned about thirty-six
days sooner—thus saving to the State
not less than TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS. Such are the good results
flowing from Whig legislation and Whig
economy ; and if the tax-oppressed peo
ple of the State know their own inte
rests, they will not only return the no
ble band of Whigs who so nobly dis
charged their duty during the recent
session, but elect a Whig Governor, and
abjure Locofocoism now and forever.—
Give us a Whig administration that will
faithfully carry out Whig principles,
and the restoration of our beloved Com
.monwealth to her former prosperity will
speedily follow.
NEW POSTAGE LAW.—The last Loco•
foco Congress passsed a law repealing
ing the provisions of the late law, with
regard to the carrying of newspapers
free of postage under thirty miles.—
Hereafter they are to be charged one
cent for any distance within the State
where printed, and one and a half cent
for any distance over one hundred miles,
if out of the State. All transient news
papers sent by mail, three cents each,
postage to be prepaid.
FIRE AT TOWANDA.-A very destruc
tive fire occurred at Towanda, on last
Friday week. The Court House and
Jail, the Clairmont House, five heavy
dry goods establishments, three groce
ries, seven dwelling houses, shops, sta
bles, &c., were all burnt to the ground.
The loss is estimated at about $90,000,

CLOSE OF THE SESSION
IN THE SENATE, March 16: The fol
lowing bills vetoed by the Governer,
were taken up and passed by the consti
tutional majority :—The act to annul

tin and Susan his wife. The act to in
corporate the Merchants' and People's
Transportation Company. The act to
incorporate the Cumberland county Bank
was re-considered and lost, The act to
extend the time of commencing the
West Philadelphia Railroad, vetoed by
the Governor at the beginning of the
session, was re-considered and lost.•
The 'Senate made the following judi
cial confirmations:
Benjamin Champneys, to be the Pros.
ident of the 15th Judicial district.
Moses Coolbach, to be an Associate
Judge for Monroe county.
Benjamin Champneys having resigned
the Governor nominated James Nill to
be President Judge of the 15th Judicial
district.
Wilson M'Candless was also nomina
ted to be President Judge of the 10th
Judicial District. Mr. M'Candless was
rejected by a vote of yeas 13, nays 13.
A committee was appointed to inform
the House that the Senate was now
ready to adjourn, and a similar commit
tee being introduced, informed the Sen
ate that the House was now ready to
adjourn. The Senate adjourned sine
die.
In the House, Mr. Matthias moved to
take up Senate amendments to the bill,
a supplement to the Pennsylvania Rail.
road act. The orders of the day were
called.
Mr. Matthias moved to postpone the
rule which prohibits bills from being
considered and presented to the Gover
nor for his signature on the day of the
final adjournment of the Legislature; on
this motion the yeas and nays were call
ed, and stood—yeas 48, nays 41.
The bill divorcing Thomas Parker and
his wife; the bill divorcing Peter Cor
vine and Justen his wife 5 the bill divor
cing Samuel K. Austin and his wife;
and the bill divorcing Elizabeth Gardiner
and John Gardiner, had all been vetoed
by the Governor. The House took them
up this morning, and considered and
passed them respectively by a constitu
tional majority.
Mr. Fox, from the Committee on con
ference on the difference between the
two Houses on the bill allowing the cit
izens of certain counties to decide by
ballot on the question of granting tavern
licenses, made a report. It was not con
sidered. The bill therefore falls.
The proceedings to-day were conduct
ed with propriety and good feelings.—
Mr. Cooper's valedictory was beautiful,
and very affecting. The members sep
arated with the kindest feelings toward
each other, and the eyes of some of the
more tender-hearted were moistened as
they bade adieu with their associates.
THANKFUL FUR SMALL FAVORS.—The
Locos have carried New Hampshire by
about as many hundreds as two years
since they had thousands majority, and
yet they are screaming themselves
hoarse with joy at the result ! They re
joice at a great danger narrow escaped,
not for a great victory achieved.

LATEST FROM THE ARMY.
WastuswroN, March 19, 1847.
By the schr John Howell, Warren,
arrived at N, Orleans on the 11th inst.,
from the Brazos, dates to the evening of
the 28th ult. have been received.
Considerable excitement has been oc
casioned at New Orleans by rumors
brought by the passengers on board of
this vessel, that Gen. Taylor had fallen
back on Monterey, being closely pur
sued by Santa Anna, at the head of 25,-
000 men. This rumor is probably not
correct, and was so regarded by some
of the passengers who brought it from
the Brazos.
Capt. Hughes, one of the Illinois col•
unteers, who was one of the passengers,
left Gen. Taylor's camp at Agua Neuva
on the 13th and all was then quiet. The
American force there did not exceed five
thousand. Gen. Taylor then intended
to hold the position he occupied until
the Ist of April, when he would move
forward,
Mr. Kendall writes that an express
had arrived at Matamoras on the 26th,t
from Col. Curtis, at Camargo. That
officer stated in his despatch that an ex
press had left Seralvo on the evening of
the 23d, from Col. Morgan, with injunc
tions to stop all the trains between Ca
margo and Montgomery. Morgan's re
giment was to leave at daylight on the
morning of the 24th, but the destination
was unknown.
It was reported that the enemy was
advancing in great force, but from what
point is not stated. Morgan received
his orders direct from Gen. Taylor.
Another rumor is that'Gen.Mejia has
thrown a large force iiito Linares, and
it was thought intended attacking Mat
amoras, and perhaps the depots at the
Brazos and Point Isabel. This, howev•
er, is mere surmise.
_
All these reports go to confirm the
impression that Santa Anna has a large
body of troops in Gen. Taylor's neigh
borhood ; but whether with the inten-
tion of attacking him, or of passing
round and falling upon the American
ports on the Rio Grande, no one knows,
Seine think that .Santa Anna intends
making a feint with a considerable foKce
in the vicinity where Gen. Tayloi is
posted, for the purpose of diverting his
attention, and when that is effected,
pass him with a large body of light
troops, and make an attack upon Ca
. margo, Matamoras, and some other de
pots in the vicinity of the Brazos.--
Others think that Santa Anna is send•
ing off a large portion of his force to
the succor of the garrison at Vera Cruz.
LATER-9 O'CLOCK, P. M.—The
mail boat of this evening brought Senor
ATOCHA to Washington, whose mist
sion to Mexico excited so much curi
osity.
O The packet-boats arc now run
ning regularly—the first of the season
passing this place on Wednesday night
last. Those who have travelled in stage
coaches, over rough roads, can appreci
ate the comforts of these pleasantly ar
ranged packet-boats.
