Huntingdon, Wednesday, March 31, 1847,
WHIG NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR:
GEN. JAMES IRVIN,
OF CENTRE COUNTY.
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER:
JOSEPH W. PATTON,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
ED- The late Foreign news by the r
Hibernia, will be found in this paper.
The news has had a very favorable ef
fect upon the markets.
(J A boat, from Hollidaysburg, be
longing to Mr. G. L: Lloyd, with a cargo
of 2,000 bushels of wheat, and a quan
tity of clover seed; was sunk in the nar
rows below Lewistown► last week. The
loss it is said Will be heavy.
A CLEiN SWEEP. —We learn that the
Blair county Court, in session last week,
has refused to grant a single license to
sell liquor, in that county. This may
be fun for Temperance men, but it is
death to the Blair county Tavern-keep
ers.
ATTACK ON VERA CRUZ.—The N. 0.
Delta, of the 13th inst. states, .that be
tween 50 and 60 sail of vessels left Tam
pico and Lobos Island, with troops and
munitions of war, for the bombardment
of Vera Cruz. Gen. Scott had announ
ced the 10th inst., as the day on which
the attack would commence. We may
therefore expect shortly to hear news of
the bombirdinent, of that famed Mexican
Fortress.
SOLDIERS FOR MEXICO.—The JUNIATA
GUARDS, Captain IRVIN, of Lewistown,
passed through this place on Friday night
last, en route for Mexico. This compa
ny is spoken of as one of the very best
that has gone from this State—being
entirely composed of sober respectable
men. On Sunday evening, Captains
BARNARD'S and BIDDLE'S companies of
Voltigeurs from Philadelphia, passed
this place. These are also fine compa
nies, and commanded by brave and gen
tlemanly officers. We had the pleasure
of meeting in Capt. Barnard's company,
an old acquaintance and fellow-crafts
man, THEO; D. COCHRANE, Esq. of Lan
caster, whd has received a lieutenant's
commission in this company. lie is a
brother of the late gallant Lieut. COCII.
KANE, of this State, who fell at the bat
tle of the 9th of May last. The officers
and men were all in fine health and spir
its. May they remain so until they re
turn again to their country and their
friends. Several other companies are
expected to pass through dfirirtg the
week.
Too Fear.—Our neighbor of the Globe
cries out "Victory" in his last paper, at
the very top of his voice; but no one hes,
as yet; been able to discover the cause.
As it certainly cannot be on account of
the Spring elections, in this bounty, at
which, out of the twertty=four Judges
elected, the Whigs have EIGHTEEN
and the Locos SIX, a friend at our el
bow suggests that probably it was in
anticipation of Polk's General, Santa
Anna, being in a situation to defeat and
cut of 'the American army, commanded
by that gallant old Whig, Gen. Taylor.
If so, our neighbor has been a little too
fast. The late news would seem to in
dicate that old Rough and Ready and
hi* gallant band are still safe; and we
venturb tb predict, able to whip Santa
Anna and all the Mexican Generals Polk
may send against them. So don't crow,
neighbor, until you are out of the ivoods.
SPRING ELECTIONS.—In Philadelphia
city, West Chester, York and Gettys;
burg, the Whigs have been gloridusly
triumphant, electing their whole tickets
by handsome majorities.
IRVIN AND PATTON.—Large and enthu
siastic meetings have already been held
in the countiesof Cumberland and Blair,
responding to the nominations of Irvin
and Patton. The enthusiasm of the
people in behalf of these truly fortunate
nominations, has seldom been equalled.
Oj- The Postmaster General has or
dered a placard to be placed on all the
Post offices, announcing that letters
written to those employed in the Army,
and endorsed '• Belonging to the Army,"
will be sent free of postage.
COWARDLY AND UNGENEROUS.
The Globe of last week makes a most
cowardly and ungenerous attack upon
Gen. IRVIN, because, prompted by his
liberal heart, he contributed fifty barrels
of flour to the relief of the starving
Irish. The editor, however, had not
the courage to make the charge upon
his own responsibility, but says that a
" gentleman" from Centre county made
the following statement in his office :
am aware that a move was made in end
shout Bellefonte, a few weeks since, to induce '
Oen. Irvin to subscribe liberally to the relief of the
sulfating Irish, as it would he a great thing for po
litical capital, and, as a prominent Whig told me,
It would induce the vagabond Irish to vote for the
General at the next election. I hare heard, how
ever, that Gen. Irvin was about to contribute fifty
barrels of flour, and if he does, it will be more
with a mercenary than a real charitable feeling."
Now, we venture to assert that the above is a
mere fabrication of the editor of the Globe, and
that he cannot give the name of the " gentleman"
from Centre, his informant, or that of the .promi
nent Whig" alluded to. At all events, we call
upon the Globe to give the names, or take the re
sponsibility of traducing a gen wous citizen for
making a liberal donation to the distressed, upon
his own shoulders. We have been taught to be
lieve that Charity was one of the most ennobling
virtues of the human heart, and that, instead of
condemning, it was always to be commended.—
And yet the Huntingdon Globe, in winding up
an abusive article, relative to this noble and gene
rous act of nue charity, on the part of Gen. Irvin,
stigmatizes It as an attempt to make "political capi•
tal.,' Here is the Globe's own language:
t , Such attempts to create political capital, will
certainly meet with the decided disapprobat,on of
al/ good citizens."
For any one, therefore, who may happen to be
taken up as a candidate for office, to give to the re
lief of Ireland, according to our neighbor'e doc
trine, in to meet the "disapprobation of all good
citizens!" Does the Globe man prefer Parsimony
to Liberality Can he more highly appreciate
the conduct of a man whose liberality' would
prompt him to give afire cent shinplaster by way
of misting to defray the incidental expenses of •
party that had retained him in office for thirty
years, than the generous liberality of him who w, old
contributefifiy barrels of flour to the relief of the
starving poor in a foreign country 1
It ie universally known to all who hare any
knowledge of Gen. Irvin, that a more kind-hearted,
liberal man, does not live in this section of the
State;—that he gives freely and liberally to all
charitable objects, and that this was his character
long before he was a candidate for office. And it
is also well known that his donation to Ireland was
given before he was nominated for Governor, and
when, too, according to the Globe, and the Loco
foco press generally (who feared him an • candi
date), his chance for a nomination was not at all
, good—yet for this noble act of charity, he is to be
' stigmatized by a reckleu partizan press as "intr.
l anary," and deserving not the praise, but the
"disapprobation of all good citizene."
But the secret of all this indecent abuse of Gen.
Irvin, is the fact that the Federal Free Traders are
alarmed at his popularity with the people. They
know that if they cannot get up some humbug to
deceive them, in regard to the true character of
Gen. 1., that their life office-holder, Francis R.
Shank, must he beaten not less than 20,000.
Hence their nervousnees and irritability whenever
the name or noble deeds of " OLD IRONSIDES"
are mentioned.
GEN. IRvlN.—The Brookville Jeffer
sonian, a Locofoco paper, in speaking of
the nomination of Gen. Irvin, says :
" Gen. Irvin is, we admit, a strong
man, and one who possesses a good
moral character and business habits—a
man whom we know nothing against,
and therefore will say nothing."
The above is an honorable exception
to the course pursued by the greatest
number of the Locofoco papers. Not
1 1 being able to say any thing in favor of
I either their candidates or their princi
,
pies, they are attempting to tarnish the
fair fame of the Whig candidate, Gen.
Irvin, by making false and ridiculous
charges against him. Their course,
however, will only have a contrary ef
fect to that desired ; in attacking the
character of Gen. James Irvin, where he
is known, they will but increase his
popularity with the people, which now
gives them so much uneasiness.
MR. LONGSTRETIL—The Locofocos
have already °petted their . batteries
upon Gen. LiviN, as a " rich iron-mas
ter." Yet at the same time they repre
sent their candidate for Canal Commis
sioner as a retired City Merchant—
whost " house is the home of plenty !"
Mr. Longstreth, we are also informed
by the Locofocos, is a Quaker, and
therefore opposed not only to the Mexi
can war, but to all wars ! A Quaker,
according to Locofocoisin, is nothing
mare or ;eve than a Tory ; and yet,
Morris Longstreth; a Quaker, is the Lo
cofoco candidate for Canal Comtnis
sioner ! Therefore, according to their
own declarations, they are supporting a
candidate in whom .4ristoctdey and To
ryism are combined !

CONONDRUM.-Why was the Bill to in
corporate the " Huntingdon and Broad
Top Railroad and Coal Company" like
the American Flag, at Pittsburg, in 18441
Because it was V-toed by Francis R.
Shunk.
THE EXAMINATION.
A public examination of the pupils
under the charge of Mr. .1. A. HALL,
took place on Friday last. Although
not present during the entire day, the
exercises we witnessed during our brief
stay, enabled us to form an idea of the
plan of tuition adopted, and to observe
the system and good order which pre
vail in this admirably conducted school.
Mr. Hall's is but a common school—yet
it was made evident to us at the exami
nation on Friday, that it is one in which
a child can receive a thorough English
education, and be fitted for all the du
ties of an active business life. So far
as he pretends to teach (i. e. in all the
branches of an English education)—and
we say it without any wish to flatter—
Mr. Hall, it is our firm belief, has no sil
-1 periors, and but few equals, in the State.
He is not only a ripe English scholar,
but possesses, in an unusual degrae, the
ability of imparting instruction to the
youthful mind. He appears to have a
perfect knowledge of the varied dispose• '
tions of children, and understands the
treatment and discipline necessary to
each one. On entering his school room,
were it not for the small forms seen be
fore you, one could hardly believe him
self within the walls of a common school,
where children of all ages are admitted,
so admirable is the order, and so thought
ful the young countenances of the schol
ars. No moving about, or making the
least noise, until requested to rise by
their teacher, can be observed. And
when a class is called up, even of the
youngest scholars, no confusion is caused
thereby, but every thing passes off with
the regularity and precision of well dis
ciplined soldiers. During the examina
tion, the answers of the scholars to the
questions put by their teacher, were un
usually prompt and distinct—and not
one incorrect answer was given. And
this was the case during the entire day,
as we learn from those present. Each
scholar is taught to prove the correct•
ness of his or her answer, by giving a
reason for it—which was done in every
case, without a single failure.
The exercises in the afternoon are spo
ken of by those present as very interest
ing. The extemporaneous speeches de
livered by some of the larger boys, wise
have gone through all the different
branches, are represented as highly cre
ditable, as well to the scholars as the
teacher. We regret that we had not the
pleasure of hearing them. The compo
, sitions which we heard read by some of
r the young Misses, during the forenoon,
, would have done honor to older heads.
• In the selection of subjects, great good
' taste was exhibited, and in elucidating
them, not only active, but thus far, well
trained minds.
We are glad to know that the labors
of Mr. Hall are fully appreciated by the
parents of the children under his charge.
The seed which he is now sowing will
tell with the most happy effect upon the
future destinies of this community. His
school is an honor and a blessing to the
place, and may safely, without dispar
agement to others, be set down as one
of the Model Schools of this State.
"Old Shunk's" Popularity.
. .
The Butler Whig, in noticing the re
nomination of the present weak and im
becile Locofoco Executive, remarks :
" We are not at present prepared to
say how much we will be able to beat
Mr. Shunk in this county ; we have loco
foco authority, however, for statingthat
' Shunk will be beaten six hundred in
Butler county—yes one thousand.'"
And we have locofoco authority, says
the Penn'a. Intelligencer, for saying that
Shunk will be beaten in the State by a
large majority. The Tariff Democrats
of the State, who have been so egregious
ly humbugged and deceived by the lead
' ers of the Federal Locofoco party, will
rally en masse under the banner of " OLD
IRONSIDES AND THE TARIFF OF
1842."
ID- The tone and temper of the Pitts
burg papers relative to the new attempt
of the Baltimore Company to excite ex
pectation, are such as wo should expect
after recent discoveries. The Journal
says:
"Pittsburg will have a road to the
East entirely through her own State,
along which the immense trade of the
west will pass—diffusing wealth through
every section of the State, whilst it will
raise herself to the first rank among the
cities of the West, and make her twin
!lister, Philadelphia, the first city of the
East:"
Pittsburg begins to feel correctly.—
She has an important position, and OM
cannot improve it by any of those pro
mises of the Southern kailroad Com
pany.
LATEST ARMY NEWS.
On our third page will be found the
different accounts from the Army, re
ceived since our last issue. They are
somewhat conflicting.
Nothing has been received at the war
department from Gen. Taylor since the
14th inst., which caused many to enter
tain the most painful apprehensions in
regard to his safety. We have the
strongest faith that olti Rough & Ready,
notwithstanding the large force of the
enemy, and the small available force
under his command, will be found equal
to the emergency ; and that if a battle
has been fought he has Mlle off, as here
tofore, victorious. By the annexed let
ter from Cob Curtis, commanding at
Camargo, calling for a large number of
Volunteers, it would seem that that offi
cer considered Gen. Taylor in a critical
position :
HEADQUARTERS, Camargo, March 2,
Sir-1 send an officer to Headquarters
at Washington, making a requisition on
the President of the United States for
fifty thousand six months volunteers.—
All communication has for several days
been cut off between this place and the
army above, and I see no adequate relief
this side of New Orleans. I request you,
therefore, to call out ten thousand men
of this character of troops, and 1 antici
pate they will be recognized under the
call of the President.
As fast as any considerable force can
be accumulated, let them be forwarded
to Brazos Santiago. All troops, as far
as practicable, should be armed before
leaving the United States,and the officers
commanding companies should take in
charge ammunition enough to distribute,
in case of emergency, forty rounds at
least.
Very respectfully, your obd't serv't.
SAMUEL R. CURTIS, Col. Com'g.
To the Governor of Louisiana
The New Orleans Tropic says that
the Governor of Louisiana expressed his
readiness, with his accustomed patriotic
fervor, " to pull off his coat and go to
work to raise volunteers, and he hopes
all good citizens will aid him."
Since the above was in type, we have
been shown the Baltimore American, of
Saturday morning last, which contains
the following items :
Last night's Southern mail brought
us New Orleans papers of the 19th inst.
There is no later intelligence from the
seat of war. The N. 0. Delta says—
"We saw a letter yesterday from Tam
pico, of the date of the 6th of March,
from a very authentic source, stating
that the most reliable rumor respecting
affairs near Monterey, is that Gen. Mi
non had attacked Gen. Taylor near Sal
tillo with a large force of cavalry, and
had been totally routed, with a loss of
four hundred, Gen. Taylor's loss being
very slight. This rumor is the one
most generally received and credited by
the officers of the army at Tampico."
The New Orleans papers have also
the following extract from a letter from
Capt. Grayson, Assistant Commissary
General at Tampico :
...
.- .
"MEXICANS DEFEATED, TAMPICO, March
sth.—Gen. Taylor has had another bat
tle, at night, 18 leagues beyond Saltillo,
and killed 400 Mexicans, his loss being
very small. This information is posi
tive.
THE WHIG NOMINEES
The Delaware County Republican says
the nominations of a political party were
never more enthaastically received by
the people and the press, than those of
Messrs. IRVIN and PATTON, the nominees
of the Whig party for Governor and
Canal Commissioner. From every county
in the State the response of the press is
a friendly greeting to the nomination.—
All differences of opinion have vanished
into thin air, and with exertion, and the
continued union and harmony that now
exist in our ranks, success must follow
as certain as day succeeds night. Our
candidates are of the right stripe—fresh
from the people, unlike those of our op
ponents, old worn-out political hacks,
who have battened at the public crib all
the days of their lives. Irvin and Patton
come before us with clean hands, with
clear consciences, and honest hearts,
and it is a duty we owe to the cause, to
ourselves, and to them we should labor
to make their election sure. We point
with pride to the few selections, which
are not even a moiety of those in our
possession, from the country press, from
which some idea may be formed of the
spirit with which our political friends in
the interior speak of the Whig nomi
nees.
I' In Mifflin county, at the late elec
tion, eight districts voted in favor of
license and four against. In the borough
of Lewistown, one ward went in favor
and the other against. So that on one
side of the street tavern keepers can sell
IkluOri while on the other, they are pro
hibited.
117- Our Philadelphia papers, due on
Monday evening failed to arrive.
FREE TRADE FALLACIES.
The Free Trade papers insist that Eu
rope cannot continue to take large quan
tities of our Agricultural produce unless
we take more of her Manufactures ; and
argue, therefore, in favor of Free Trade,
as indispensable to a full realization of
the benefits to accrue to this country
from the new state of things which exists
in Europe,
In reply to these Free Trade Fallacies
we find the following facts in the Lances
ter Union t
1. Except during years of short crops,
Great Britian never imports more than
twenty millions of bushels of foreign
wheat. With what she produces her
self, this foreign supply is all that is re
quired to meet the home demand. Of
these twenty millions she never has ta
ken more than four or five from this
country. Her chief supplies come from
the north of Europe.
2. There is no reasonable probability
that she will hereafter regularly require
a large foreign supply. Notwithstanding
the existing famine, her soil is just as
fruitful and those who till it just as well
skilled in their profession as formerly.—
In a year or two, the effect of this famine
will have passed away, and matters will
settle down to their old position.
3. The only thing which can prevent
as prolific a return as formerly, is a defi
ciency in agricultural labors. And there
are two reasons why this cannot be.—
First ; those who obtain their bread by
agricultural labor, are not now employed
on an average more than half the time.
So that should one third or one half of
this description of labor be diverted to
other pursuits, that remaining, by being
constantly employed, would produce just
as much wheat and potatoes and oats,
&c., as are now produced. Secondly ;
the same excess of supply exists in the
manufacturing districts of the country.
The manufacturing laborers of Great
Britian are not employed more than
three fourths of the time. If constantly
employed, they would increase the man•
ufactures of that country at least twenty
five percent.—an increase more than ad
equate to supply any new demand from
this country which entire Free Trade
might create.
If these facts are well grounded, we
do not see how American farmers would
be very materially benefitted by the ruin
of American manufactures. England
will take no more of our produce than is
necessary to supply her de4ciencies.—
Her deficiencies will be no greater in the
future than in the past. No great diver
sion of labor from agricultural to man
ufactures can be expected ; as, constant
ly employed, those now engaged in man
ufactures could increase the supply more
than two hundred millions of dollars
per annum.
n There is but one safe policy to be pur
sued by this country. Nothing should
be done to impair the home market,
which is, after all, the only sure depen
dence of the American firmer; while
the prolific character of our soil, and the
constantly increasing acres tilled, will
not only enable us to supply the regular
foreign demand, but any extraordinary
demand, (like that which at present ex
ists) which may arise.
Acceptance of Mr. Patton.
The following is the reply of Mr. Pat
ton to the Committee appointed to in
form him of his nomination :
CARLISLE, March 12, 1817.
GENTLEMEN-I this day received your
letter of the 10th inst. informing me of
my unanimous nomination for the office
of Canal Commissioner, by the Whig
Convention which met at Harrisburg on
the 9th,
By an entire devotion to the princi
ples of the Whig party, which I believe
to be identical with the true interests of
Pennsylvania, and by which only she
can arrive at that proud pre-eminence to
which she is destined ; and (in the
event of my election to the office of Canal
Commissioner) by directing all my en
ergies to the promotion of the best inte
rests of the Commonwealth, I shall hope
to merit the honor conferred on me by
Convention.
For the present, gentlemen, permit
me, through you, to express to the Con
vention my sincere thanks, and accept
for yourselves assurances of my distin
guished consideration and respect.
JOS. W. PATTON.
Messrs. Pearson, Mackey, Irvine, Duf
field, Wilson, Adams and Bard.
THE "WARM HEARTED IRiSH."-A lec
ture was given in New York some days
ago, in aid of the sufferers in Ireland,
and at its conclusion, Mr. Philip Hone,
after mentioning that three ships had
that day sailed for Ireland, stated, for
the . purpose of showing how well the
Irish, in that city, had done their part,
"that the books of a Savings Institution
exhibited the unprecedented fact that
the drafts upon its funds, for the guar
ter, far exceeded the depositesl—some
$BO,OOO having been withdrawn by the
Irish population to be sent to their starv
ing friends abroad."
(Cr Mrs. EFFIE ALLEN, wife of Sena
tor Allen, of Ohio, died at Brown's Ho
tel, Washington City, on the 11th inst.,
of pleurisy. She was a daughter of the
late Gov. McArthur.
MR. COOPER'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.
On the day the Legislature adjourn
ed, the House adopted - a
unanimous vote
of thanks to Mr. Cooper, for the very
able and impartial manner in which he
had discharged the duties of Speaker.
On declaring the House adjourned sine
die, on the 16th, Mr. Cooper made the
following farewell remarks:
GENTLEMEN :-Our public duties here
are ended ; and when I shall have ex
pressed, as well as I can, the deep sense
of obligation which I am under to you
for your uniform courtesy and constant
kindness, I will be reedy to perform my
last duty by pronouncing this House ad
journed without day. lam sensible how
much I owe you for the obliging support
which I have received at your hands, in
the discharge of my official duties, as
well as for the kind forbearance which
you have, at all times, exercised towards
me. The resolution adopted yesterday,
expressing your approval of my conduct,
I regard as the offspring of magnanimity
on your part, rather than of merit upon
mine. I know there have been many
shortcomings in the performance of my
duties, to which your generous friend
ship has shut its eyes. My heart is
now too full to express all I feel ; but
believe me, gentlemen, I am grateful,
deeply-, sincerely grateful, for the par
tial friendship, which, overlooking faults,
has sought to discover merit in the man
ner in which my duties have been per
formed. To the home to which 1 and
about to depart, I will carry the remem
brance of your kindness; and in its re
tirement will prize it as a treasure to be
cherished while the pulses of life shall
throb in my heart. I can say no more,
except to pray God to bless you all, to
conduct you to your homes in safety,
and shed peace upon your lives. Again
I invoke the blessing of Providence upon
you all—and bid you farewell.
IRELAND,
We have just seen a letter from Ire
land, says the Lewistown Gazette, dated
March Ist, received by Dr. Samuel Ma
clay, from which we have been politely
allowed to make an extract :
" This country is in the most deplora
ble state of poverty and destitution.—
In the South and West, hundreds are
dying weekly, and even in the North,
where every exertion has been made,
where we have soup kitchens and meal
stores in every town and village,we daily
witness great distress, and anticipate
much greater.
" Thank God, in your fine country
you have a superabundance; for were
it not for the large supplies daily recei
ved from America, the consequences
would be most awful. Encourage the
farmers in your neighborhood to raise
as much wheat and Indian corn as pos
sible ; for I fear much of our land will
remain uncultivated : the small farmers
being quite unable to seed their ground.
A BLACK Tom THUMB.—The New Or•
leans Delta says that there is now in
that city a little black Tom Thumb, who
is, in his way, a natural curiosity. He
is a well formed, intelligent fellow, and
is as fond of tobacco as a monkey is of
nuts. He belongs to Mr. Wells, of Pt.
Coupee ; his name is Manual ; he hails
from Mason county, Kentucky ; is 23
years old ; fifty pounds weight, and 3
feet 9 inches high in his stockings.
WHIG VICTORY IN MIDDLETOWN.—The
election in Middletown, on Friday last,
resulted in the success of a Whig Judge,
a Whig Inspector, and a Whig Apses
sor. The borough has hitherto been
Locofoco. All honor to the Whigs of
Middletown! This is but a foretaste
of what " old Shunk " may expect next
October.—Pa. Intelligencer.
A Wino TOAST.—The following toast
was given by Hon. Andrew Stewart at
the Whig festival in Philadelphia:
The Whigs of Pennsylvania—The
Union look to them to save the country.
Let them be united—let them be firm to
their principles and their cherished po
licy, and their triumph will be certain.
ID- The people of Chester and Dela
