Editor have observed in the Loco Foco prints many insinuations , and some open charges, that General ames h tin, the Whig candidate for Governor, is a mart whose judgment and intellect are of a character so weak, and feeble, that he is not capable of filling the Exec utive chair of the State, either with I credit or advantage to her people. Such attacks upon a man who asks to hold the reins of Government of the State, if honestly made, deserve to be fairly in vestigated—their truth or falsehood should be made manifest. If false, and are so proven, and their authors still re peat them—those who by such means hope to secure success, should be stern- Ily rebuked by every honest man. But on the other hand, if they are not only false, but coined and uttered by men who knew their vile fabrications to be cool and calculating falsehoods—then' should every honest and upright citizen,' not only rebuke, but frown indignantly ; down, the men who thus assail wor-1 thy candidates for public favor, and the ' party which will, either tacitly, or open ly approve, conduct so unworthy Amer- lean c Linens. The Whigs of this State have placed' Gen. lavfx in nomination. They ask of I the whole people, a cordial and hearty support in their efforts to secure his sac- cess ; and they, as well as their candi date court the enquiry, "Is he honest 1-1 Is he capable 1" If either of these pies- tions can honestly be answered' in the negative, Gen. Irvin would, not only re ceiva, but deserve, the condemnation of ; freemen. Permit' me then to seek among the records of the past, the answer to these inquiries. Gen. Irvin has been our neigh bor, and associate, in this county for years. Our citizens have known him, many of them, intimately. I have known him, conversed, associated, and corres ponded with him; and I feel it to be my duty as well as my privilege, to give to the world my knowledge of the man ; and also to ask all—every man, of every party in politics, and every creed in religion, who have, by any means, been thrown into his companionship—or whose business, has brought them into social intercourse with him, to answer, and to answer honestly and frankly, if do not speak of the man as lie is, with out even the partiality of a warm friend. Is Gen. Irvin honest ? The question is answered •in the affirmative, by the thousands who have dealt with him, toil . ed fur him, and been the recipients of his acts of kindness and benevolence, with out one dissenting voice. What man . . . these things objectionable. Still I must say that experience has declared, that those Governors who partook most of the character of her hardy sons, have best secured her interests, I ask every man if honest industry, sterling worth, and sound common sense, have not al ways governed us safest and best!! Now I ask of the thousands who have heard Gen. Irvin speak in public, if sound and discriminating judgment— strong and active intellect, candor, and unyielding uprightness, were not the great characteristics of his speeches.— I have heard him speak from the same stand and at the same meeting, with such men as Joseph R. Ingersoll, Josiah Ran dal, John Swift, and Hampden (and he did not suffer by a comparison with them) and every candid man gave to Gen. Irvin that best definition of an or ator, "he spoke well." I have yet to see any gentleman, (whose opinions are worth regarding) who has heard him, who did not always acknowledge that his arguments were marked by strong sense, and gave evidence of a vigorous mind; evincing that he not only knew what was required to secure our inter ests, but could tell it in a way that all could comprehend. There are hundreds, I may say thousands who can testify to such things, and know of his ,capacity; and I doubt not, that the little spite of small minds, will pass as the idle wind. I ask again of the thousands who have associated, or conversed with Gen. Irvin, if plain, practical common sense, clear distinct knowledge of the spirit of our institutions, bold and determined energy of character, are not the great, the lead ing and the prominent features of the Iman? Such is the man, and such he is known everywhere ; such his own suc cess in business proves him to be; and in all these requisites, no man who knows both will say, he is second to the present executive officer. His friends . have never claimed for him any other eminence, than such as are his from his own substantial worth. Knowing, that had his time been spent in our halls of learning, instead of the field, the forge and time furnace, few would have been his equals, and far less his supe riors, in every thing which adorns or gives greatness to the Statesman; and that for his opportunities, none.are his superiors, and few his equals. I hare written this much, because I wish the people of the State to know the man ; feeling assured that when they do know hint, they will not only silence his calumniators, but they will prove that a man of his worth is just such a man as is now needed to take charge of our de pressed and oppressed commonwealth. I hope you and your readers will excuse my lengthy article. I could not well shorten it and do justice. COMMON SENSE, Huntingdon, July 30. 1847, "PRIVATE BUSINESS." From the tone of the last Globe, we would infer that the tory crew who now control that sheet, must have felt our reply to their attack upon the Taylor Whigs. To be held up to the public as the friends of Polk and Santa Anna, is to be sure, not very pleasant; yet we think they will not mend the matter much by making their unenviable posi tion the pretext for a personal attack upon us. Instead of attempting to ex tricate themselves from their unfortu nate position before the public, they in timate that they will have something to say about our " private business," and throw at us the following insinuations: • We have not as yet been compelled to sacrifice our principles for a email 'consideration !'—our subscribers have never demanded from us such acts of it/mil/a/ion—end it would be well for our neigh bors to remember that those who live in glum houses should not throwlitoncs: "-- Globe. Now, the real editors of the Globe, who fight under cover, must recollect that we shall hold the ostensible editor responsible for all personal attacks upon us. And we therefore call upon Mr. Lewis to make his charges definite.— We desire and insist upon him to tell his readers how, and where, we ever sacrificed "principles" for a" small consideration." We shall hold you to nothing but the truth, neighbor. If we ever defrauded our creditors, let the world have the facts. If we ever took the benefit of the Insolvent Laws of this Commonwealth, for the purpose of cheat ing an old man bowed down with age, out of a 6 small' boarding bill, perhaps it is due to this community that you should tell them of it. It we ever, for a "small consideration," consented to father per sonal charges in the " Commonwealth," whicl► we had not the brains to originate, tell that too. And if, during the four or five years we worked as a journeyman Printer, our fellow-craftsmen ever posted us as a Rat, for doing work for too "small'' a " consideration," let us hear it. All we object to is, that you do not make your charges more definite, so that the community may understand what you are driving at, and we have on opportu nity to defend. We dislike personalities, and shall never indulge in them only on the defen sive. As our neighbor appears to think our private character very vulnerable, we invite him to proceed, with the assu rance that we shall always allow him to give " the truth in evidence." Foreign News, The Steamship Washington, arrived at New York on Friday last. The po litical news is unimportant. Insurrec tionary movements are going on in Spain. It is said the life or dethrone ment of the Queen is contemplated. The markets have rallied a little since the last advices. American Flour is quoted at from one to two shillings high er ; Wheat from 2d to 3d. The weather up to the 9th was fine as possible ; since then there has been Chun• der storms and rain, but no great dam age has yet been done. The market is well supplied with pota toes, which are very fine. The growing crops look well. American Bacon in demand at 62 to 68s per tierce. Rich in limited demand. At Havre the Flour market was rather heavy. The Navigation laws are suspended until March next. The ravages of the fever continue to an alarming extent at Liverpool. u: Another murderous.outrage oc curred in Schuylkill county last week.' A man by the name of Henlin, desirous of trying his skill as a marksman, di rected a young man named Patrick Dormer to put up a mark for him to shoot at, threatening, in case of refusal, to shoot him. Dormer did refuse, and Henlin true to his word, fired and lodged some 29 shot in the back part of his neck and shoulders. The wounds are serious though not likely to prove fatal. Henlin has not yet been apprehended.— The outrage occurred between Heck scherville and Coal Castle. Schuylkill county has become famous of late for scenes of violence and ruffianism. TERRIBLE. TRAGEDY.-A mob of six or eight men attacked the house of a man named Menick, near New Albany, (In diana) on Sunday night, and the three first who entered were felled to the earth by the occupant. Jos. Davis and another, name unknown, were instantly killed, and a third so injured that he cannot survive. Meuic then surrendered him self to the civil authorities. WIIAT IT COST.—Che visit of the Pres ident to New York, says the Tribune, bled the municipial treasury to the tune of four thousand dollars ! The bills of the Astor /louse were $1,250, More Treason The following letter was written by Hon. B. R. Wood, a distinguished Lcico- Foco member of the last Congress, in an swer to an invitation to attend the Chi cago Convention: ALBANY, June 22, '47 Ornr:--1 regret that I shall be unable to at tend the harbor and river Convention about to assemble in your city on the 6th of July next. The course pursued by myself on the river and harbor bill in the 29th Congress, is the best assur ance I Can give that I shell not look with indiffer ence on the proceedings of that Convention. That no appropriation• was made by the last Congress for improvement of the harbor of the lakes, is, you are aware, no fault of nitric. Nor• can I forbear the reflection that while war (however origina ting) is waged O.TENBIBLY to obtain indemnifi cation and the payment of a DOUBTFUL DEBT, EBACTICALLT 1 fear,to extend slave territory, at the cost of hundreds of millions of money, and thousands of lives unless it shall soon terminate, no appropriation, however small, could be obtained to save front destruction on our lakes props ty worth more than all that Mexico ever justly owed to say nothing of hundreds of lives sacraficed every year, from want of safe and accessible har bors. I remain, very truly yours, &c. BRADFORD R. WOOD. To Messis. John Weniveost, Wsn, li. Ogden, and others, committee, &c. --- Efrectff of Whigism. The influence exerted by a Whig Ca nal Commissioner and a Whig State Treasurer, is beginning to exhibit itself in all the departments of the State Gov erntnent. Mr. Power, backed by gr. Burns, has been the means of saving thousands of dollars to the State, and preventing o thousands more from being lavishingly and uselessly thrown away upon political favorites by the Shunk dynasty; and Judge Banks has so man aged the affairs of his department that, according to the statements of the friends of Gov. Shunk, "the treasury will contain sufficient cash before the first of August to pay the semi-annual interepts on the State debt, and have a balance of one hundred thousand dollars to he applied to other purposes." These are important facts for the con sideration of the Taxpayers; and if one Whig in the Canal Board and one Whig "on the hill" at Harrisburg can effect " such a condition of things, how much more zealous should they labor to place more such Whigs at the head of State af fairs. Mr. Power's management as Ca nal Commissioner produces in one year "one million of dollars profit on the canals and railroads," and Judge Banks' few months supervision of the Treasury de partment, not only produces in advance sufficient to pay off the August interest on the State debt, but leaves a surplus of 'lone hundred thousand dolllars in • the 'treasury for other purposes." Remem ber, these are the admisions of the op ponents of the Whig party. "Poor Men," as well as the tax-ridden Farmers, would do well to read and ponder on these facts.—Lancaster Union. General Irvin, The Whig partyof Pennsylvania were never more thoroughly united than they are in the support of Gen. Irvin. The excellence of the man, his sterling hon esty, and the sound and well-known character of his political opinions, have gained for him not only the confidence of the Whigs, but also of large numbers of the opposing party. The honest Dem ocrats, who last year, by their votes cast for %% hig candidates, so signally re buked the folly and wickedness of our present State and General Administra tions, will not be content to leave their work half accomplished, but will be found next October, gallantly fighting and voting for Irvin and Patton. There.a - re thousands of men—honest men—among our opponents, who are sick and tired of the bad faith and igno rance of our rulers. They have seen that, in National affairs , .these rulers have waged 'war upon our domestic in- , terests, and have embroiled us in a bloody and apparently interminable, as it is an expensive and useless, struggle with a foreign nation. Our State Ad ministration, has been mostly a King Log, or when it did show signs of vital ity, it was King Stork. When the in , terests of Pennsylvania were threatened, nay, actually sacraficed, by the Gener al Administration,the immolating priests had no more devoted followers than the Governor of this Commonwealth. These facts are well known to our Democratic fellow-citizens—and we look confidently to seeing them, as they did last fall, come up by thousands and vote for men who will reform abuses, and supplant those who have shown them selves incompetent and undeserving. Let the Whigs do their duty, and by unceasing activity, bring every Whig vote to the Polls :—if this be done, there need be no fear of the result, and a glo rious Whig Victory will free good old Pennsylvania from Locofoco Misrule.— Pittsburg Journal. GEN. TAYLOR'S RETURN.—The Cin- 1 cinnati Chronicle publishes a letter from Adjutant A. W. Armstrong, dated Mon terey, 18th of June. With refference to the force under Gen. Taylor, and the General's contemplated movements, Ad jutant Armstrong writes as follows: "Gen. Taylor informs me that he has less than 3,000 men now under his com mand, including those at this point and at Saltillo; but it is his intention to move ' towards San Luis Potosi as soon as practicable ; and he also assures me that he will positively return to the states in I September next, whether there is a trea ty concluded by that time or not." A Chance for a Fortune-41500Z Reward. The above reward will be paid upon the production of legal proof that the following named gentlemen have either sons or sons-in-law in our army in Mex- ICO 3 Vi7,_:- Janus K. Polk, President of the United S , Mes, James liuehmtan, hi; Secretary of State. Wm. 1.. Marcy, his Secretary of Vk ar. John Y. Mason, his Secretary of the Nary, Cave Johnson, his Post Merger General, R. J. Walker, his Secretary of the Treasury and Nathan Clifford, his Atforhey General. As.these gentlemen of the Cabinet, in volved us in the war with Mexico, the country is deeply anxious to know how many of them have sent their sons, or sons-in-law, to fight the foe; and as Much difficulty has been experienced by the people in learning the facts, the above reward has been offered, in hopes of eli citing the truth. The evidence may be filled with C. B. Cole, President of the late Locofoco Convention, and upon his certificate that such evidence has been; furnished, showing that each of the be fore mentioned gentlemen has either a son or son-in-law in the army, the above reward will be paid by the WHIGS OF GEORGIA. Slave Case. Our quiet and orderly town wrni thrown into quite a commotion on yea= terday morning, by some Slave-hunters from Virginia detaining a couple of tie groes in . the bar-redin of the 'Exchange' a few minutes for the purpose of ascer taining whether they Were not runaway slaves. Upon satisfying themselves that they were not the property they were in pursuit of, the negroes were per mitted to go about their business. A. warrant was then got out for the Vir ginians, by the negroes, and they were brought before Justice Cox to answer to the charge of Assault and Battery and Kidnapping—Mr. BANKS appearing for the defendants, and Messrs. Blum'. 'RUNE and COFFEY for the prosecutors. After a full and thorough examination and discussion of the matter, Justice A Cox discharged the defendants, and ad• judged the prosecutors to pay 'the cost. —Hollidaysburg Register. FATAL. ACCIDENT.-A man was killed instantly, on the Rail Road near Dun cansville, on Thursday last. He was a stranger travelling westward, and had, we believe, no papers on his person from which his name or place of resi dence could be learned. He was stand ing on the coming down track, watch ing the locomotive passing on the other when a train of ears struck him and crushed him to death.—lb. TIM elf iI.D.MURDER AT OVSTERVILLE, --A gentleman of this city has received a letter giving a most terrible explana- , tion of the murder of Mr. George H. Hinckley's child at Oysterville, Barn stable, on Sunday last. The coffin con taining the corpse was taken into the church on Tuesday, and all the neigbors were collected there, and one by one', ac , cording to the form of the old supersti-- tion, requested to lay their hands on the coffin and declare their innocence of the murder. When it came to the turn of the mother of the child, she reluctantly laid her hand on the coffin, and with a great effort, made out to say—"l didn't do it; I didn't do it.' "Her manner at once . created a violent suspicion against her, and after she had been questioned a little, she made a full cerofession of the murder, and also admitted that she made the several attempts to set fire to the house.—Boston Post. KENTUCKY'S HONORED DEAD.--At Frani fort on Tuesday last an immense con course of people, variously estimated at 15,000 to 20,000, assembled to pay lion or to the remains of Kentucky's depar ted heroes, whose light went out on Bue na Vista's bloody field. The ceremonies were conducted in a proper spirit—noth ing occurring to disturb the solemnity of so mournful an occasion. The oration of Mr. Breckenridge is highly spoken of.— ' Among the chief mourners were Henry Clay , Mrs. McKee, wife of the deceased I Col., & Mrs. Vaughan, wife of the intrep id Adjutant,upon whom this afflicting dis pensation of Providence—that calls so• many of their fellow-citzens together— : fall most heavily. Mr. Clay was sur rounded by the orphan children of his lamented son.—North (REBELLION IN CALIFORNIA.—The Wash ington correspondent of the New York .•.Journal of Commerce" writes that there is a letter in ‘1 ashington received by the Western mail, with the startling in telligence that the Mormon regiment and Mormon settlers, in California, have risen and rebelled against the American government, as established there, taken possession of the country, and establish ed an independent government of their own. There may bo some foundation for the rumor. The Mormons, prior to the origin of the Mexican war, had designed to establish an empire in Cal ifornia, and taken somesteps towards the enterprise. HORSE WRIPPED.--A young man was horse whipped by a lady in Pittsburg, on Friday morning! No doubt he was served right."
