EDITORIAL Srrre CONVENTION.--The tTnioss
at Harrisburg, publishes a list of the names of
about forty Editors of Pennsylvania, who have
signified their intention of being present at the
Editorial State Convention, to be held at Har
risburg, on Thursday, Bth of November, in
accordance with the resolution adopted by the
editors of the I7th Congressional District. The
purpose of the Convention is to urge upon the
next Congress a change in the present postage
. system, and to adopt such reforms as will op
erate beneficially to the interest of the country
press. We hope the proposed Convention may
be well attended.
We regret our inability to be present, but
shall cheerfully concur in any measures adopt.
•d by our brethren of the press to advance our
mutual interests. We have full confidence that
those in attendance will correctly represent the
country press.
" Doggeries."
We join our neighbor of the Globe In con
demning and calling for the suppression of all
unlicensed grog shops that may exist in our
community.. The evil consequences of these
dogge ries are truthfully portrayed by our neigh
bor. No man should be allowed to thus dare
our laws with impunity. But while wo gO for
the suppression of these nuisances, we cannot
go with our neighbor so far as to recommend the
exercise of mob law to do so. The Law we
believe to to fully adequate to punish,all offen
ders against its majesty. Let the officers whom
we anntmlly elect, and who are sworn to do
their duty, faithfully perform it ; and our word
for it the law will soon purge our borough of
these doggenes. We cannot subscribe to the
doctrine that citizens should vindicate one law,
by violating another. Strict obedience to all
our laws is the true doctrine, and when this is
adhered to, and offenders are promptly arraign
ed before those whose duty it is to faithfully
administer the laws, all unlawful nuisances can
be speedily and effectually removed. Let our
officers therefore do their duty, or in default,
let our citizens hold them to an account for
their derilection when the election day comes
round.
caThe Daily Nerds is now furnished at the
low price of one cent per copy. It is the best
political paper in Philadelphia, and deserves a
liberal support from the Whig party in that city
and throughout the State. Wu do not agree
with the News in regard to some of the appoint
silents, but it is always acetone and true,to the
tWtig cause in election campaigns, and hence
we desire its success.

Pennsylvania Railroad---Onr Haaglli
The President of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, accompanied by two Directors, and
several of the heaviest stockholders, visited our
town during the past week. We had the plea
sure of
, meeting those gentlemen at the residence
of our neighbor, J. (3. Miles, Esq. Mr. PAT
TERRON, the i'l'esident, is a gentleman of very
social disposition, and exceedingly afllible in
hie manners. The directors and stockholders
who accompanied him appeared no less tillable
and pleasing in their intercourse, and are gen
tlemen of enlarged intelligence and liberal. views.
Several of the party hdd never visited this sec
tion of the State before, and expressed them
selves highly delighted with Huntingdon and
the surrounding country. Arid they all ex
pressed the kindest feelings for our citizens, and
many of them gave it as their opinion that our
town would reap great advantages from the
construction of the Railroad, if the citizens
would make a united effort to secure them.—
They seemed, too, much gratified with the pre
gross the road was making, and spoke ih the
highest terms of that portion on which the cars
now running
Jur main object, however, is to speak of our
Borough and its interests In connection with
this great improvement. It IS e±pected that
the road will be opened to Huntingdon in time
for the spring trade. Yes, in five or sit months
We will be startled by the shrill whistle of the
Locomotive. And the question we desire to
propound to our citizens is—has anything yet
been done to secure to Huntingdon the perma
nent advantage which it is in our power to grasp/
We regret that OP to this time the question
must be ansWered ih the negative. It is, we
learn, the purpose of the Company to locate in
this neighborhood a Depot, Worehthise and Ma
chine Shop. "If," in the language of Mr.
Spangler, one of the Directors, "the citizens of
Huntingdon exhibit towards the Company a lib
eral spirit—meet on half way," these improve-
Meets will be located in the heart of our bo
rough. If this is not done they will go either
to the east or west of us. Every business than
indeed all our citizens, are interested in hav
ing these improvements in our borough. Will
not, therefore, all unite in an effort to secure
them 7 Now is the time to act. "Delays are
dangerous"—and this is emphatically true in
our case. If a location is once determined on
for these improvements outside our town, all
our efforts may not be able to change it. All
have a common interest in this matter— , men of
every calling are alike interested in the pros
perity of the town in which they are located
Huntingdon is now looking up. Let us keep
the ball moving—allow no advantages to elude
us in our power to secure. After the comple
tion of the Pa. Railroad to this place, wo con
fidently anticipate the construction of the Hun
tingdon and Broad Top Railroad. This will
Make LIM Borough a great trans-shipping point
for Coal ; and will, as a matter of course, large
ly increase our population, and tell most favor
ably on every branch of business. In short,
we believe it is now within the power .1.

In reference to the location of the contem
plated improvements of the Railroad company,
we would respectfully suggest the propriety of
holding a public town meeting, for the pur
pose of adopting such measures as may be deem
ed best calculated to advance the interests of
our borough. Should this suggestion be receiv
ed with favor by our citizens, the time can be
indicated by others in a formal call.
Wm. Summerville et al vs Thomas
Jackson.
This important law suit, briefly noticed in
our last, fried in Blair county, is thus noticed by
the Hollidaysburg Register :
The adjourned court held by Judge TAYLOR
last week, was occupied during its entire sit
ting with the trial of • one cause—Wm. Summer
ville et al vs Thomas Jackson et at. The suit
was for the recovery of the three-sevenths of
a tract of land containing about 12J acres upon
a part of which Gaysport is located, and for the
lots which remain in said borough unsold. S.
S. BLAIR and MAD. STEvaNs Counsel for the
; and J. G. MILES, J. F. Coo, S. S. CAL
VIN and A. P. WI.. for the Deft.—The case
was argued to the Jury by Blair, Miles, CO.
and Stevens. It is scarcely necessary to say
that it was ably tried by the learned Counsel on
both sides, for the reputation they enjoy is a
guarantee for this; but it is due to Mr. MILES
and to Mr. Ilt.sin tosay that they more than sus-
tattled the high refutations which they previously
enjoyed, and that the former may justly be ac
counted one of the strongest and ablest mem
bers of the profession, and the latter one of the
brightest add most promising among the youn
ger class of practitioners. Great interest was
felt to hear Mr. Bnm:se's speech in the case,
and on Saturday fdrenoon by the time he was
expected to address the Jury, the Court room
was crowded, quite a numlier of ladies honoring
the occasion with their pi esence. We will only
say his whole bearing in Oar court, has confirm
ed the universal impression amongst us that he
is a great Orator and a great man. The Jury
found for the Plaintiffs.
117" The editor of the Philadelphia Daily'
Son is reaping the reward of Whig labor in
the shape of a fat Custom House appointment,
yet that paper is daily sneering at the Whig par
ty, and in the late campaign opposed its candi
dates. With all odr personal regard for Mr.
Wallace, we say that jdsticerequires his remo
val. We would scorn to Mid an office under
an Administration which we could not support;
and so would any honorable man. The Whig
party elected Gen. Taylor, and opposition to
the Whig party is opposition to Gen. Taylor.—
And as the Daily Sun has received the reward
of its treason from the Locofocos, its editor
should not expect continued support from Oldie
against whom its treason was directed.

Murder.
On Saturday evening last two or three Irish
men went on board a canal boat as she entered
the lock et the big dam about two miles above
this place, rind knocked down and threw over
board a colored man named David C. Williams.
The other hands on the boat escaped Uninjured.
The Captain came to this place and made, oath
before a justice, when several men started in
pursuit of the murderers. They have not yet
been arrested, nor is it known where they are.
—Their names are said to be Michael Dolan,
Flanagan, and the other not known. Wil:
liains is represented to have been an honest,
peaceable and industrious young man from
Greencastle, Franklin county, Pa. .His body
was brought to this place and respectably in
terred in the colored•giaveyard. The Irishmen
were intoxicated, and had a quarrel with the
bowsman on their way tip from this place.
They wished to get on the boat at the first lock
above town, but were denied—they thert collect
ed a large number of Irishmen from the shim
. .
ties, and made the attack at the dirh. We hope
they may net detapo a just punlshment.-- , -Glabo
of loot reek.
We understand that Flanagan, one of the above
flamed murderers, is a man of about six feet four
inches high. His size will doubtless facilitate
his arrest. We sincerely hope all engaged in
this atrocious murder will be brought to pun
ishment. We have rarely heard of a more cold
blooded affair. The colored man had neither by
word or deed molested his cruel murderers.
Their purpose was to kill a white man on the
boat, but not finding him, they wreaked their
Vengeance on the unollending negrd.
Insult to Gen. Taylor.
The Baltimore Clipper remarks :—lt appears
from the proceedings of an anti-slavery conven
tion, held in Norristown, Mass., that Mr. Garri
son, the noted abolitionist, had prepared an ad
dress to be delivered to Gen. Taylor, had he
visited that State, in which he would have ap
plied the most insulting epithets to the Presi
dent. He read the address to the convention,
remarking that if Zachary Taylor, in view of
his wickednesil and oppression, had been met
with rebukes and railings, instead of cheers and
rejoicings, ho would have been induced to abol
ish slavery, not only on his own plantation, but
also in other places."
We have no idea that President Taylor would
have been received by the people of Massachu
setts in any other way than a respectful man
ner; and we are confident that they would not
have permitted Mr. Garrison tti address him in
language so exceedingly offensive as that con
templated by this ultra-abolitionist. A North
ern paper makes the following extracts from the
address:
"What office," referring to the thief Magis
tracy, Was desecrated when the people elect
ed a tyrant to fill it." 4 f You are," says Mr.
Garrison to President Taylor, in the address,
you are a successful perpetrator of Robbery,
Murder and every atrocity upon a gigantic
scale." 4, You are a man stealer—you arc hen.
ored, carressed, flattered, but still you are a
man stealer. It is said you are honest, but no
honest man would deprive his fellow man of
liberty. It is said you are brave, but the brave
man would not hold in bondage his fellow
man."
ments, in noting which fact, the Erie Gazette
says :—« We learn from those who are well in
formed, that its former liabilities have been
honorably cancelled, and it is now upon a heal
thy and permanent basis. Its notes are re
deemed in this city at 1 per cent."
1:12" The Hon. CHARLES S. PENROSE has re
signed the office of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, to which he was appointed on 'Fe
organization of the present Administration—n
tending, it is said, to return to the practice of
law as a partner of Thaddeus Stevens.
New COUNTERFEIT.— , The Lancaster Unitn
says counterfeit five dollar bills on the Harrit
burg Bank are in circulation in that vicinity.+
They are of letter A, and of various dates. T
signature of Thomas Elder, the President, it
pretty well imitated, but that of J. W. Wi
the Cashier is poorly executed. The engravi
of the whole note is very coarsely done, and n
at all calculated to deceive any one who has t
least judgment in such matfett!.
ASSASSINATION. -Two scolindrills calling them
selves French Counts, arrived at St. Louis
few days since, and without provocation of an
kind, fired at and mortally wounded a nephe•
of the proprietor of the hotel, killed a your
man named Albert Jones, and wounded so
others. Great excitement existed at St. Lot

kept from wreaking their vengeance on the as

Intoxication in Sweden.
The laws against intoxication are en
forced with great rigor in Sweden.--
Whoever is seen drunk is fined for the
first offence three dollars; for the second
six ; for the third and fourth a still lar
ger sum, and is also deprived of the
right of voting at elections, and of be
ing appointed n representative: He is,
besides, publicly exposed in the parish
church on the following Sunday. If the
same individual is found committing the
same ()Ilene° a fifth time, he is shut up
in the house of correction, and con
demnt d to six months' hard labor ; if
lie is again guilty, to a twelvemonth's
punishment of a similar description. If
the offence has been cotriinitted in public
such as at a fair, an auction, &c., the
fine is doubled ; and if the offender has
made his appearance at a church, the
punishment is still more severe.—
Whoever is convicted of having induced
another to intoxicate himself is fined
three dollars, which sum is doubled if
the person be a minor. An ecclesias
tic who falls into this offence loses his
benefice; if ho is a layinan who occu
pies any considerable post, his functions
are suspended, and perhaps he is dismis
sed. Drunkenness is never admitted as
an excuse for any crime ; and whaever
dies when drunk is buried ignominious
ly, and deprived of the prayers of the
church. It is forbidden to give, and
more explicitly to sell any spirituous
liquors to students ; workmen, servants,
apprentices, or private soldiers. Who
ever is observed drunk in the streets, or
making a noise in a tavern, is sure to be
taken to prison and detained till sober,
without, however, being on that account
exempted from the fines. One-half of
these fines go to the informers, (who arc'
generally police officers,) the other half
to the poor. If the delinquent has no
money, he is kept in prison until some
one pays for him, or he has worked out
his enlargement. Twice a year these
ordinances are read aloud from the pul
pit by the clergy; and every tavern
keeper is bound, under a penalty of a
heavy fine, to haVe a copy of them hung
up in the principal rooms of his house.
BATTLE BETWEEN TUE HALF BREEDS
AND CIIIPPEWAS.-A battle was fought,
wo learn, a few days since, at Pocago
mon Lake, about 120 miles wortheast
of St. Paul, between a family of Half-
Breeds named Le Prairie and the band
of Chippewas who acknowledge Shunia
(Silver) as Chief. The number of Half-
Breeds was five—three men and two
boys—the strength of the Indians from
ten to twelve. The parties were divi
ded by a small stream, one side of which '
is covered with timber, the other side is
prairie ; the Half-Breeds being on the
.: A -- • -
tnThans continued the fight for about
two or three hours. The Indians lost
one man killed two mortally and three
f or four slightly wounded. Their Chief
was badly wounded while attempting to
I restore peace. Such an outbreak has
been expected, the Half-Breeds being
concerned in selling ardent spirits to
the Indians. The Half-Breeds suffered
no loss, with the exception that one of
the ears of Louis Le Prairie was taken
off by a rifle ball.—St Paul (.hlin) Chro.
Later from Mexico.
DESPERATE BATTLES WITH INDIANS.-
Late advices from Mexico, bring ac
counts of several desperate engagements
with Indians in the State of Durango.
A company of American volunteers,
employed by the authorities, had routed
the Indians on every occasion, killing
many, and capturing a number. The
Mexican commander, in his official re
port says:
- Mr.• - Thomas Cloaland (Cleaveland,
perhaps) was thd first that fell, after he
had killed two Indians. He was cap
tured alive, having been suddenly seized
by the enemy, who immediately cut off
his head. The Indians finding their
loss so severe by the precision with
which the Americans delivered their
fire, nt length retreated and again took
up their position at the rancho, which
had been abandoned by the latter when
they hastened to the defence of their
cattle. The company returned to the
charge with great courage and again
tormod the entrenchment, driving out
the Indians with a heavy loss. The
latter then made another attempt at the
cattle, but the Americans pursued them
and after half an hour's combat put them
to flight.

Ireland.
The accounts from Ireland by the
Europa, relative to the potato crop arc
painfully distressing.- The distress of
the people will therefore probably be
greater than at any previous period, as
the means of those able to afford them
relief will be more exhausted. Emigra

ceeding at a rapid rates The class of
persons emigrating is very respectable.
The clergymen, Protestant and Catho
lic, share In the distress. On every
side the signs of general ruin are accu
mulating, and the low prices prevailing
in the Irish markets deepen the distress
and cut off ail prospect of future im
provement and all grounds of future

Saturday. The meeting was called at

The meeting subsequently adjourned
to the St. George's Hotel, when the as
