Indeed, so formidable were we, in point of num
bers, that a story was at once started by the
Cass men, that a large number who walked in
our ranks, belonged to their party. If they had
said that many of them heretofore voted the
Locofoco ticket, the story would have been lit
erally true. But we can inform them that there
was not a man in our crowd that will not cast
his vote for the glorious old Hero of Buena
Vista. On arriving at the Ilotel of our friend
Mr. Sissler, we learned, that although a large
number of People from the surrounding country,
were present, the inclemency of the day had in
duced the Committee of ArrangemeUt to doubt
the propriety of raising the Pole at that time.

We ask every unprejudiced Democrat to read
the address which we publish on our first page, •
signed by over thirty leading and prominent
Democrats of this State, recommending Gen.
Taylor as a man every way qualified to fill the
Presidential chair. It' you cannot believe Whig
testimony, read, we pray you, the testimony of
your own leaders. Again we say, read the
address.

enthusiasm, we halted in the Diamond, where
we were welcomed home by A. W. Benedict,

three cheers for TAYLOR & FILLNIORE, three for
Capt. Hazzard, and three for the Glee Club and

delighted with the exercises of the day.
11:7" The Globe editor says we "stigmatized
the citizens of Woodcock Valley as rowdies."
It is unnecessary for us to say more than that
the assertion is a bald, wilful, naked LIE, con
ceived and published with no other conceivable
motive than to injure sic with the honest citizens
of that delightful Valley.
flf.7 - The editor of the Globe says that if he
was seen at a Taylor meeting, it would be im
mediately published that the “Huntingdon Globe
was out for Old Zack." You need have no ap
prehensions on that score, neighbor. No friend
of old Zuck's would desire to see any such pub
lication, especially if there was any danger of
it being true.
U . A resolution to adjourn on the 7th inst.,
passed the lower House of Congress the other

Senate also. Congress has been already too

shorter sessions.

Pole liaising at Alexandria--Great
Meeting of the People!
In accordance with the invitation of the "Rough
and Ready Club" of Alexandria and Porter
township, a great meeting of the friends of OLD
ZACK assembled in Alexandria on Saturday
afternoon last. At 9 o'clock in the morning, a
delegation of Rough and Ready boys from this
town and vicinity, numbering over ONE HUN
DRED, assembled on board a large canal boat,
furnished for the purpose by the indefatigable
Capt. DAVID HAZZARD, and amid cheers, mar
tial music and spirit-stirring songs by the Hun
tingdon Glee Club, set sail for the scene of ac
tion. On our way thither, we received, at va
rious points, large accessions to our force. At
1 o'clock I'. M. we landed at the bridge below
Alexandria, and after being formed into line by
Major. W. B. ZEIGLER, Chief Marshall, assisted
by H. K. NE,, W. TuoslesoN WILSON, (a re
turned Volunteer) and Major RAYMOND, we
marched into town with a procession, (preceded
with martial music and the Flag of our country,
the glorious Stars and Stripes,) that cheered the
hearts of the friends of Old Rough and Ready,
and sent dismay into the ranks of the Cassites.
CO" The Globe, with a perfect flourish, says
they "court the presence of Taylor Whigs at
Cass meetings." Well you mny for without
them your meetings would . be miserable small
affairs.

wealth, by Governor Johnson.
We learn from the Pa. Intelligencer that Mr,
Haines has arrived in Harrisburg and accept.'
the appointment. The selection is an admire.
ble one.
It was rumored a few days ago that the lion.
JAM. Com , xn had been tendered the appointment
of Attorney General. We do not see any con
firmation of the rumor.
Capt. S. D. KARNS, publishes a card in the
Pa. Intelligencer, declining the appointment of
Adjutant General, for which office he had been
named by several papers. Capt. K. thinks the
selection should be made from among the brave
Volunteers who have just returned from Mexico.
Cass at thane.
The New York Tribune, n paper that has not.
yet raised the name of Gen. Taylor, thinks that
Cass's chance of carrying Michigan is not
more than 0.11 even one."
Gen. Taylor's Principles.
The locofoco press, with an amiable generosi
ty, profess to be very solicitous lest the Whigs
may be deceived about Gen. Taylor's princi
ples. They say he has not declared himself a
Bank man, or a Tariff man, or an Internal Im
provement man, &c., and that, for all he has yet
said on these subjects, he may be a thorough
going locofoco--he may rat like John Tyler, and
make up a cabinet exclusively of the progres
sive democracy.
We pars by the very obvious suggestion, that
if the old General were not a Whig, he would
most probably have been nominated by our op
ponents ; and that if they really thought him a
disguised democrat, they would be very unlike
ly to rouse our suspicions about it—and we pro
ceed to consider the truth of the allegations.
What do we mean by POLITICAL PIIINCIPLES
We mean the rules of morality, the dictates of
justice, honesty and good faith applied to the af
fairs of government, and the conduct of public
business. We know that others seem, by their
conduct to mean a different thing.
But to return to Gen. Taylor and the Wino
PRINCIPLES. According to our definition, we
hold Whig principles to be these
1. That Government is instituted for the
common good—emenates from the common au
thority—and exists by the common consent—of
the people.
2. That, as it is impossible for the people
to legislate in person, by reason of their num
bers, they must make laws, through their repre
sentatives, elected by themselves fora limited
time, and responsible to them for their coaduct.
3. That, an executive head being necessary.
for the administration of the government, this
unavoidable delegation of power to one man,
shall be limited a n d confined by every restric
tion, consistent with an efficient discharge of
the executive functions.
4. That the will of the people, as expressed
in the laws passed by their representatives in
Congress, ought to be carried into effect, in al
most every conceiveable case, for the simple
reason that it i.d their will, expressed through
their representatives, in the mode provided by
- - I
the Constitution.
5. That the power of the veto, confided to I
the President, is intended only for extreme and
exigent cases—for cases in which the legisla
ture might attempt to break down and destroy
the executive department, or might pass im
proper laws through inadvertent haste or cor
rupt design.
6. That the abuse of the veto, for the pur
pose of arresting legislation, not. of this char
acter of legislation, deliberately entered into,
after mature consideration—warranted by nu
merous precedents; approved by the practice of
former Presidents and legislatures, and sanction
ed by the solemn judgment of the Supreme
Court of the United States—is a dangerous and
alarming usurpation.
7. That, to sustain such practice, is to de
feat the great end and aim of Republican Gov
ernment ; and, under the specious pretext of a
check upon hasty legislation, virtually to trans
fer, the power of making laws from the Repre
sentatives of the people to the President alone.
Now these are the fundamental prineipleB of
the Whig party to these Gen. Taylor has un
equivocally given his assent, and declared' his
intention to adhere. He has proelaimed.tliathe
would have no friends to reword. and 210 el
to punish—that he would leave'the dtqy of leg
islation to the representatives of the people, not
interposing his veto, unless in cases of iIIANIFEST
NECESSITY-and that he would administer the
government on the principles respectal 'and Ob
served by the earlier Presidents of the republic.
To these principles, the so-called Democracy
of this day are opposed. For nearly twenty
years, their administration have been progress
ing further and further is disregarding and vio
lating them ; until they have, as we trust, at
tained their climax, in the recent assumptions
of the power to make war—to annex territory
by conquest—and to establish territorial gov
ernments, without the authority, and even with
out the knowledge, of the people's representa
tives.
As to the Bank, the Tariff, and the other
questions alluded to, these are not principles—
they are mea,nres. It is true that no measure
ought to be adopted, unless it be constitutional.
But admitting it to be constitutional, it may or
may not be expedient ; it may or may not con
sist with the dictates of sound policy. What is
expedient and proper at one time, may not be
so at another.—lt is for the representatives of
the people to consider and decide on these
questions. In their hands, where the people
have reposed the trust, Gen. Taylor declares his
intention to leave it—and with that declaration,
for our own part, we are entirely content.—

The Compromise Bill.
The protracted discussion on the Bill from the
Select Committee for the organization of Ter
ritorial Governments in Oregon, New Mexico
and California, was brought to a close on Thurs
day morning last, at 7 o'clock—the Senate hav
ing been in session all the previous night. The
vote on the Bill was 33 to 22. Three members
were absent. The amendments offered by the
Hon. REVERDY Joitssox, a few days since, pro
viding for appeals to the Supreme Court with
out regard to the amount involved, and prohibit
ing legislation in regard to the admission of
African slavery into the Territories, were adop
ted, and now form a part of the Bill as it goes
to the House of Representatives.
EI:7 - History hnd the papers of the day tell us
that Colonels M'Arthur and Miller broke their
swords at Hull's surrender, but no mention is
made of Case's pretended exploit.
A Big Screw Loose !

and the legatee of Gen. JACKSON'S political pa
pern, opposes the nominees of the Baltimore
Convention. This truly comes under the head
of defection in high places.

Nothing eccurred during the evening to chill
the enthusiasm or mar the general pleasure ex
cept the reeif.riihratice that they were not all
here—that death had claimed her past. It was
a saddening thought that the graves of James
Herd and Owen Davis had been dug in a foreign
soil.
Its Dimensions.
The BLACK COCKADE, (says the Pennsyl
vania Telegraph,) worn by CASS when a FED
ERAL schoolmaster at Wilmington, Delaware,
in old John Adams' time, is said to have been
exactly four incites and three-quarters across
its face from edge to edge. When it was made,
the black ribbon suffered a few yards I Like
Cass himself, by this time it is a little greasy
about the edge, and somewhat ruity; but the
original color is there, and can easily be revived.
In this respect, also, it is prototype of Cass.—
This original Federalism is still cherished in
his bosom. Give him but the opportunity of
power, and he'll soon scour the rust off it, and
bring it out in stronger colors than ever.
More Evidence.
The following resolution was passed at a Lo
cofoco meeting held in Union county last sum
mer, over which the Hon. George Kremer—
the same who first preferred the charge of bri
bery and corruption against Mr. Clay—presided,
and at which John Snyder, formerly a locofoco
member of Congress from that district made a
speech. Truly nothing more is necessary to
condemn the enemies of Gen. Taylor, than the
application of their own denunciations :
“Resolved, That in the fighting and the
writing of Gen. TAYLOR, the idea is
forced upon the mind, that his God Was
the God of our two wars; his, and the
preservation of our army tinder his com
mand, savor of the good will bestowed
on our Washington and Jackson ; his
labors , as theirs, have received the sanc
tion of Heaven, which none but MIPS,
base as those of the LOW ER REGION,
censure; instruments too base for the the
enjoyment of a republic.” •

This distinguished gentleman is devoting his

Iris claims to distinction upon his capa
city as a public speaker, as upon his
Santa Fe expedition, which has given
him a fame co-extensive with the civili
zed world.
A Great Speech.
Senator CORWIN of Ohio made a great speech
the other day against the Compromise Territor
ial Bill. The Washington Union though vio
lently opposed to Mr. Corwin thus speaks of his
effort :
"We should be doing injustice to our own
feelings—we should probably dissent from the
opinion of every man who heard Mr. Corwin—
we should violate the injunctions of truth, if
we did not frankly admit the power with which
he yesterday addressed the Senate against the
Compromise Bill. His remarkable speech was
a long, and plausible, and elaborate, and, in some
respects, a brilliant effort."
The Missing Letter.
The letter of Gov. Morehead, President of
the National Convention, it appears was sent in
a bundle of other letters, to the dead letter of
fice in Washington city. It has since been sent
to Baton Rouge, and the New Orleans Bulletin
says : . 4 We understand there is a letter in the
city from Baton Rouge, stating that Gen. Taylor
has at length received the official letter from
Gov. Morehead announcing his nomination by
the Philadelphia Convention."
The General's reply may now soon be looked
for. It was despatched from New Orleans to
Goe. Morehead, on the 19th inst.
