lutions
WHERE" The time has arrived when it be
homes the duty of the Democratic Whig and A nti
maaonic party of Huntingdon county to renew
their organisation and again unfold their banner to
ihe breeze; Therefore,
Resolved, That the Whig creed ever remains the
sumo unchanged, notwithstanding the charges of
change made itrainat . lll., end our banner stillbears
sound National Currency"— , A Pro-
tective Tariff high enough to protect our own
manufacturers from being driven out of market
by pauper labor"—The Improvement of Lake
and River Harbors by the National Government"
The distribution of the Proceeds of public
lends"--One term for Prceident and Governor; and
strict accountability of official agents.
Resolved, That we have the moat entire confi-
dence in the political principles of Generals Scott
and Taylor, and that we, as Whige, are prepared
to stand fast by either of them in the event of the
Whig party selecting one of them to preside over
the affairs of this country.
Resolved, That the thanks and gratitude of the
American people are due to Gene. Scott and Taylor
for their diettnguiehed and extraordinary services
in the field, and that we, ae Whigs, recognize in
them qualities that would adorn the chief Magic•
tracy of thie Union.
Resolved, That we denounce and abhor the base
attempt on the part of the Administration to tar
nish and destroy the hard earned fame of the Hero
of Lunde. Lane, and the laurel covered veteran of
Buena Vista.
Resolved, That we regard the present. effected
attachment to, and love for Gen. Taylor, by the
lecdoeoe, as of a poles with their tegard for the
..Tariff of '42."
Resolved, That having been long and intimately
acquainted with Gen. Jaws, we take pleasure a.
well as pri le, in commending him to the people of
Pennsylvania sea man eminently qualified for the
office of Governor--knowing that throughout his
life he boa been an earreat and active Whig--a
Statesman clear in the perception of his country's
true interests and untiring in their advocacy —.teed
font in his integrity, without fear and beyond re
proach.
Resolved, That we cordially approve of the
nomination of Jos. W. Perron, believing him to
be admirably qualified, by his talents and integrity,
•
for the office of Canal Commissioner, and that with
him in the board, we expect to eee our public works
cleared up of the horde of plund which now
infest them.
Resolved, rhat we, the immediate neighbors and
friends of Gen. Irvin feel it to he our duty to rebuke
'the shameless attempts to tarnish hie fair fame by
'his unprincipled revilers; (and we are proud to
say that among hie opponents there are some noble
' exceptions) and we tell them that their folly is
vain, for Gen. Irvin, as he is, will be known by the
' people, and when known, they will say that a men
of his sterling worth shall never be injured by men
whose "lips seem faint with haste to propagate the
lie their souls had framed."
Resolved, That as President Polk took occasion
to tell the people in his message " what was yet
so be seen" as the result of the "pass" he granted
to Santa Anna, we now take occasion to tell him,
and his party that it has already been seen that
hundreds and thousands of our patriotic sone now
sleep their last sleep, amid the sands and chapparal
of Mexico—millions of our treasure scattered
'among the plundering Rancheros; and it now
remains to be seen when this war for Texas will
end.
- Resolved, That the attempts of the Loco Foca.
of this county especially, to claim the name of Dein
. .
octet, and gine the Whigs the name of Federalist,
'is peculiarly ridiculous, when we see among us the
cone, and their grey haired sires, who for fifty years
'have over done battle in the ranks of Democracy;
;while with our present opponents we see a cloud of
A./Unease., who testify that the Loco Foco party,
contains about all that in left of the old Federal
party.
Raoturd, That our little army in Mexico de
carves the gratitude of every American for their
gallant and courageous bearing in the many fierce
ly fought field.; and they need also our commiser
ation. for the neglect they have received at the
hands of rho National Administration.
Resolved, That we believe that the method of
putting an end to the war, as suggested by General
Scott, but no vilely ridiculed, by Polk and Marcy,
an being too slow, bee been proven to be the only
one ; and while they charged Scott with inefficien
cy, in saying that 50,000 soldiers ought to have been
in Mexico, by last September, they have added
another year to his time and the 50,000 soldiers are
not yet there, and the "war goes on."
Resolved, That the hypocritical professions of
love for a protective Tara, manifested by the
friends of J. K. Polk, /Mould prove to the people
that with that party tt profession is not principle."
Resolved, That we . will cordially stpport the
Vl'hig County Ticket this day nominated, end
use our beet exertions to secure for every man
placed upon it a ,triumphant election.
The resolutions, as read, were adop•
ted.
On motion, the proceedings were or
dered to be published in the Huntingdon
Journal.

EE A letter from Mexico, alluding to
the proposals in charge of Mr. Trist, says
that they provide that Mexico shall
yield Upper and Lower California and
New Mexico to the United States, in con
sideration of the sum of ten millions dol
lars, three millions to be paid down, and
the balance secured by national bonds
—the United States at once withdraw
ing all her forces, giving up her old
claim of nine millions against Mexico,
and paying her own cost and losses in
the war. The old debt and costs of the
tvar, it is said, amount to over $70,000,•
000.
ED- An officer of the army, writing from
Monterey, describes a Mexican woman
living near there as follows:—"She is
150 years old, four feet six inches high,
and exactly four feet six inches round
the waist. Her big toe is six inches
longer than the rest of her toes; her foot
is twelve inches broad. She has a beard
as strong as that of any man, and wears
mustachoes. She can walk four miles an
hour, she has been married seven
times."
THINK OF IT !—The expenses of Mr.
Polka administration, for the last three
months, were $22,475,505—being at
the rate of ninety millions per annum.
Think of it ! A QUARTER MILLION OF
DOLLARS SPENT EVERY DAY, because Texas
was annexed and Mr. Polk wanted the
glory of a war! Think of it, voters! be
fore you resolve whom to support for
the next President. Think of it, Penn
sylvanians, before you determine to sup
port for re-election a Governor, who ap
proves of all Mr. Polk's official and un
constitutional acts!

Wg the undersigned, citizens of Franklin and

equal proportion of expenses, according to the a
mount of Tax levied on ua individually, for the
purpose of employing counsel to advice us wheth

agree that should we find from the advice of able
counsel that we are not legally bound to pay any
taxes that may be levied for making said turnpike
road, to stand by and defend each other should any
action be brought against either of the undersign
ed, for resisting the payment of said taxes, each
agree to pay their proportion of expenses that may
accrue on said action in proportion to the amount
of taxes levied on each, always having due respect
to the laws of our land in regard to the above mat
