higher than those put under contract nt
former lettings. A list of the success

thunder were truly terrific. Several trees
in the neighborhood of the town were
struck by lightning.
[l7- It will be perceived that General
fScorr is on his way by sea to New York.
The New Yorkers will prepare to wel
come hint by a rousing reception when
the ship which bears " Cesar and his
fortunes" arrives. We would give some

ED --- The trial of Charles Langfeldt,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Rade•
macher, commenced in Mladciphia on
Monday the 15th inst. The defence
offered no testimony. The jury retired
on Thursday evening, and on Friday
morning returned with a verdict finding
the,prisoner " guilty of murder of the
first de;

Kr. A tremendous hail-storm visited
a portion of Butler county in this State
on Saturday, 6th inst. Many of the
hail stones were larger than a hen eg; , .
Much damage was done to the fruit,
grain, and window glass.
E. A. PETRIFIED Indian child • has
been found at Guernsey, Ohio. Around
the neck was a row of Indian beads
matted.
ID'. The accounts of the mortality of
our army in Mexico, are frightful. It is
stated upon the authority of General
Twigg,s, that the deaths amount to a
regiment a month, and this is only the
opening of the vomito season, or rather
of the time when its ravages begin to be
serious.
V- The Louisville Journal says :
Mr. Crittenden introduced a bill into the
U. S. Senate to prevent the interference
of the office-holders of the General Gov
ernment in elections. The. Locofoco ed
itor of the Bowling Green Argus de
scribes it ns " a gag bill to stifle debate
and muzzle the press."
IJ7 A great conflagration occurred at
Detroit, on the 12th inst. Three hun
dred Buildings were burned, from three
to four hundred families rendered house
less, and a loss of two to three hundred
thousand dollars incurred.

SCOTT'S RESURIC-A Telegraphic dis
patth from New Orleans to the Charles.
ton News, says that on hts departure .
from Vera Cruz, and in reply to the greet ,
tags of the Americans present, he replied
hi substance, as follows:
"I go ashore nt the Narrows, below
New York, and proceed, without enter
ing that city, to my family in Elizabeth
town. Laboring under the public dis
pleasure of the Executive, it would be
highly improper in me, a soldier, to put
myself in the way of provoking shouts
and cheers from my warm-hearted coun
, try men."
The American Star, of the 9.2 d ult., in
announcing his intended departure from
the capital, says :
"It is painful to reflect that he returns
home, alter his brilliant and unsurpassed
acheivements, under the circumstances
in which lie does. No other commander
we verily believe, could have marched
from Vera Cruz to this capitol, with so
small a force, and such signal success.
lie has given the army possession of the
imperial city of the Aztecs and ineeed of
the Republic. No officer is more en
deared to the army, and the absence of
none could be more deeply regretted.
There are many who are attached to Gen.
I • Scott as to a brother or a father, and
•
there will be wet eyes when he leaves.
What a reception will not the great Cap
tain of the age meet in his progress to
IVashinaton. VVe believe his fame will
grow brighter at every step of the inves
tigation, which is tobe renewed at Wash
ington ! It cannot be otherwise, and the
day is not remote when even his few re
vilers and enemies will acknowledge the
lofty preeminence of the Conqueror of
Alex ico !"
ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL WAR THREAT
ENED.—The President has communi
cated to the Senate, in answer to a call
of that body, copies of certain despatch
es from the Navy Department to our
Naval Officers. The National Intelli
geneer says--The following extract
from one letter addressed to Commo
dore Perry since the Senate has had the
Yucatan question under debate, will show
what designs are not only meditated, but
are even about being carried into execu
tion, with the obvious intent, without
the consent of Congress, to involve this
country in a fresh war, on the ground
of a supposed continental duty or ne
cessity on the part of the Executive:
While the United States are enga
ged in a war with Mexico, the actual
presence, without our consent, of the
armed force of a neutral power within
the territory of our enemy, co-operating
with any portion of the Mexican people
in military operations, [even assisting
the Yucatanese to resist the Indians, we ,
suppose,] cannot be permitted. Such a !
state of things, it is hoped will not oc-;
cur. If you should have reason to be- 1
lieve that it will, you will communicate
it without further delay, that THE
PRESIDENT may take such measures as
HIS constitutional duty will require at
his hands."
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—FataI accidents
occur on the Portage Railroad this sea
son with shocking frequency. On Mon-
day last a passenger in the Emigrant
train, contrary, as we understand, to
the advice of the conductor, attempted
i to walk up Plane 7, starting in advance
some distance of the cars. Seeking to
avoid the ascending Cars he stepped on
to the descending track, and ere aware
of his danger he was prostrated by
descending cars and crushed to death
in an awful manner. We have not learn
ed his name, but understand his family
, was with him.—Hollidaysburg Register.

THE VETO POWER
The Whig idea of the Veto Power,
and of the proper time to exercise it, has
always differed from the theory,t hat what
calls itself 'democracy' attached to that
power. Whigs would not expect . even
their President to veto the mere legisla-
live measures of a democratic Congress,
—although they might not like them.
The Representatives of the People are
elected to exercise their discretion as to '
internal improvements, a tnritr, a corm
cy; and the:Whig idel; is, that the will
of People, as expressedby Congress
should be, ifnot clearly unconstitutional,
_ .
The democratic
the law of the land,
idea, (just the reverse,) seems to be that
Congress is to represent the Executive
and that there is the greatest dangers lest
the people should not be so wise as the
one ;nun Executive is,—in short the dons•
ociatic idea seems to be, that the Exec
utive is the Government, and not the
House of Representatives, Senate and
Executive together!
As to the Tariff, the People will have
Protection in all things essential to them
if the Executive will let them alone,—
but if a majority of them wish not to be
protected, there is no reason why the Ex
. .
e . entire should interpose his willandwis•
dom against the ‘‘ . lll of those' whose
votes crested him. But for the inter
position of Executive influence, Penn-
sylvania, always a Protective Tariff
State by its great coal and iron interests,
would have secured sufficient protection
to the country even for a Free Trade

patronage had not been devoted to cor

Harrison was taken into custody and
his effects were searched. He was found
to be in possession of eleven Chester
County Bank Bills—each of the denom
ination of $lOO, and it was known that
lie had got rid of several others. These
evidences of guilt wore considered so
strong, that Harrison was taken in cus
tody, to await a trial, having narrowly
escaped without lynching, in that distant
quarter where summary justice is me
ted out under martial law. Such was
his imminent peril that, to clear him
self from punishment, he voluntarily
made a confession which, being corrob
orated by other facts, sul s'antiated his
allegations of innocence of the robbery,
but involves him in another high misde
meanor ; and at the same time clears up
a very mysterious tradgedy which (it
was supposed) had been enacted in this
vicinity, and which at the time created
no little excitement.
It will be remembered that some time
last fall, a drover named Hitchcock, was
suddenly missing from Philadelghia.
He went to that city from Chatham, in
Chester County ; having sold, at the lat
ter place, a drove of cattle, to Mr. Geo.
Lefevre, and obtained ie money. It
appears that the money (amounting to
1700 or $1800) was borrowed by Mr. L.
from the Bank of Chester County, and
was paid principally in $lOO notes on
that Bank. Well, Hitchcock disappear
ed—mysteriously—and never was heard
'of afterwards. His wife, who resided
in Ohio, came on in search of her hus
band, in deep distress ; but obtained no
tidings. He was supposed to be dead.
A body was found in the Deleware, of a
person who had been drowned ; but it
was not the body of her husband. She
returned to her home, unsatisfied and
disconsolate. Her husband had been
robbed—he was surely murdered!
A young man of high respectability,
from Delaware county, had been seen in
company with Hitchcock at the theatre
or the Baltimore cars. Ho was the last
person seen with him. He was on his
way South—to Charleston or some other
point. Suspicion fell upon this young
man, that he had made way with the
drover, for the sake of his money. After
the lapse of a month, he returned to
Philadelphia. Hearing himself charged
with the abduction or murder of Hitch
cock, he delivered himself up to the po
lice of that city--he established his in
nocence, and was acquitted. Here the
°Cr Hos. RICHARD RUSH, our Minister
in France. writes home encouragingly
in regard to the progress of the now Re
public.
THE REVOLUTION IN HAYTI
The New Orleans Picayune of the 12th
conveys intelligence that n most sanguin
ary war has again broken out in Hayti.
The black population have determined
to have the constitution of I 8 I 6 restored,
which is opposed by the mulattoes. The
blacks are the most numerous, and are
joined by the army.
The Courier contains the following
extract from a letter to a commercial
house:
Hayti has again been the scone of
bloodshed and murders. We learn that
the brigantine Queen Victoria, (of Trin
idad) Captain Tucker, from Port au
Prince, bound to Hamburg, with a car
go of coffee, &c., put into Morant Bay
on Thursday last 'to purchase stores, as
none could be procured at Port au Prince
in consequence of the state of affairs at
that place ; and that Captain Tucker re
ports that lie has brought despatches
from the British Consul there to Com.
Bennet, on this station,. requesting that
a vessel of war should be immediately
sent to Port an Prince, where a serious
disturbance had taken place—a large
number (some say upwards of a hundred)
of the colored population having been
masacred by their black brethren. The
cause of this ciatbreak has not been ful
ly mentioned, but it is said that the
lives of the people of color were daily
sacrificed in large numbers. This de
termination on the part of the blacks to
exterminate the browns had been brew
ing for a long time, in fact since the ty
rant Soulouvue has been president ; and
it is now being realized with a vengence
that none but savages would be guilty
of committing.
The Commodore, we understand, has
been unable to comply with the requisi
tion of Liar I3ritanic Majesty's Consul
at Port uu Prince; there not being a sin
gle vessel of war at Port Royal at this
moment, excepting the guard and store
ships, which are uesless in their pres
ent condition.
It is certainly a cause of much regret
that this Island should be left so desti
tute of vessels of war as it is at present.
It has been said that we can have tit,
possible cause for alarm, but who can
tell what a moment might produce 1 The
present outbreak in Hayti, where the I,
presence of a man of war to protect
British interests would be of much ser
vice, is a sufficient proof why Port Roy
al
should not be as she now is—destitute
of at least one available vessel of war
to be used in cases of emergency. Who
knows how many innocent beings have
by this time been sacrificed to a merci
less mob; who, had protection been af
forded by one of her Majesty's vessels,
would have been enabled to save them
selves and their families from the gene
ral massacre which, we are told, was
going on in that unfortunate country.
The Alarm, Daring and Vixen arc, it
is said, cruising off the island of Cuba,
• and it is not known when they will re
' turn to Port Royal.
I We hope when this intelligence reach
; es England, that the Admiralty will see
the necessity of having a larger number
of vessels of War on this station than at
• present. England seems, as has been
said truly, to have forgotten her col();
nies, and evidently cares little or noth
ing about their prosperity . when she
leaves them so unprotected and at the
mercy of other nations.

Here we resume the history of Har
rison, the Matamoros mule driver. Find
ing himself roughly handled, and about
to be transported to the North, he made
an honest confession of how he came by
the Chester County notes. He stated
that Harrison was an assumed name; that
his real name was J. W. Hitchcock--
that on or about the 28th of August,
184.7, he obtained the money from G. W.
Lefevre of Chatham, Chester county—
that he got the money in Chester county
notes, and—that he was guilty of mis
conduct, which he did not like to ack
nowledge, but for which he—absquatu•

Doubtless this story is true. What
an extraordinary concatenation of events.
Hitchcock, though in possession of so
large an amount of the suspicious mo

same time pleads guilty to another,

ity, suspected and examined on the foul
charge of murder, has been vindicated !

community, who will See the necessity
of being more and more on their guard

trittrfTlNGlidn PREPARED
TO ILATIVIE !
In plitsunnce of notice, a large and
thusiastic meeting of the Whigs conve ,
ned at the House of Alex. Carmon, on
Tuesday evening, in this borough.
The utmost harmony and good feel
ing prevailed in the meeting--a willing ,
ness to forget self, and lose sight of per
sonal preferences in the great national
issues involved in the approaching con
test. A spirit of enthusiasm and corn ,
promise, was the order of the evening;
which indicated, beyond doubt, that in
the hour of battle the Whigs of Him ,
tingdon county will be found at their
posts, true to their duty, and standing
fast b y the nominee of the Whig Nation ,
al Convention, be he who he may.
On motion, DAVID SNARE, Esq. vCtid

in the wisdom and integrity of the Whig
National Convention which will meet in

On motion of James Clark, Resolved,
That any persons throughout the county,
who may be willing to go to the Conven
