Dnowar.n.—We regret to learn that a son of
Mr. Henry Myers, of this place, aged about four
years, was drowned an Friday last in the cis
tern, at his father's residence. This sad occur
rence should render parents very careful about
keeping their cisterns covered.
Dom" The Eastern Cars due here on Friday
evening, did not arrive until Saturday morning,
in consequence of a land slide which occurred
between McVeytown and Lewistown, occasion
ed by the heavy rains. A large quantity of earth
was thrown on the railroad track.
WII IG STATE COMMITTEE.--A meeting of the
W:iig State Committee, for the purpose of or
ganizing the Whig party of the State, has been
called by H. M. FELLER, Esq., the efficient
Chairman, to meet in Philadelphia, on the 31st
inst. Afr. Fuller deserves credit for his prompt
action in this matter. We would prefer how
ever, that a more central place would be selected
for the meetings of the Committee.
C 7" Our statement a few weeks ago, that
Col. A. R. McCLoas had received the appoint
ment of Deputy Marshall for Juniata county,
was incorrect. But we are pleased to learn that
he has lately received the appointment.
HENRY REIGART, Esq. has been appointed
Deputy Marshall for Blair county.
frr Prospectuses for two new papers profess
ing to be Whig in politics, but neither pledging
a support to the county nominations, have, as we
learn from the Register, been issued in Holli
daysburg. We suppose there is no truth in the
rumor that the Locofocos of Blair county intend
abandoning the Standard and transferring their
support to these forthcoming papers. Be this
as it may, however, we predict that the propri
etors will not, from the profits realized, join the
aristocracy of wealth for a year or two.
7 On our first page will be found the speech
es of Messrs. Winthrop, Baker and Hilliard, on
the death of Gen. Taylor, delivered in Congress.
DT The Union caucus spoken of in our last
relative to the Slavery question, turns out to be
a sheer fabrication. No such meeting was held
in Washington.
Duty of the Whigs.
We heartily second the remark of the Con
necticut Courant that it becomes the Whig par
ty, under the present dispensation, to rally
more closely around that leader Whom Provi
dence has left us. The death of Gen. Taylor
should be followed by a re-union between every
division of the party, if such divisions exist, and
s determination to fling aside all sectional and
personel disputes in the support of Whig princi
ples. The standard-hearer of those principles
is on able man. lie has performed duties for
his country in our civil affairs no less important
than victories obtained on the field of battle.—
Ile is entitled to the entire confidence of the
Whig party which placed him in the elevated
station he has occupied ; and he now only needs
our undivided support to make the remainder of
the l'residential term a brilliant exhibition of
the utility of Whig principles to the safety, hon
or, and happiness of our country. lie will call
around him counsellors that will have the best
interests of the nation at heart. lie will, if ful
ly supported by the influence and affections of
the Whigs, so regulate our present difficulties as
to secure lasting tranquility and perpetuate the
Union. Let there be, then, a unanimous feeling
in the Whig party to support him, cheerfully,
firmly and wisely in the station to which he has
been called, and to merge all petty disagreements
and personal rivalries in the single wish for the
welfare of the whole country.
President Fillmore
The estimation of Mr. Fillmore by the public
may be gathered in part from the following from
himself and others. In an address to his con
stituents, upon resigning his seat in Congress,
he said of himself, after having served three
years in the State and eight in the National
councils :
I came among you a poor and friendless boy.
You kindly took me by the hand, and gave me
your confidence and support. You have confer
red upon me distinction and honors for which I
could make no adequate return but by an honest
and untiring effort faithfully to discharge the
high trusts which you have con fi ded to mykeeP
ing. If my humble efforts have met your ap
probation, I freely admit that, next to the ap
proval of my own conscience, it is the highest
reward which I could receive for days of um
ceasing toil, and nights of sleepless anxiety."
Mr. Winthrop, in a letter to the citizens of
New York, during the Presidential campaign,
anticipating the possibility of a misfortune like 1 1
that which has occurred, said
6 , If any accident befal him, [Gen. Taylor]
which !leaven avert, your own Millard Fillmore
will carry out such an administration to its le
gitimate completion."
Gov. Seward said
44 In the name and character of Mr. Fillmore
we have every guai anty that a SV hig . can desire."
Gen. Taylor, himself in acknowledging the
grateful emotions with which he received the
nomination of the Whig Convention, said:
4 4 These emotions were increased by associa
ting my name with that of a distinguished citi
zen of New York, whose acknowledged abilities
and sound conservative opinions, might have
justly entitled him to the first place on the tick
, et."
9 P. M.
The Seventh Census.
In many counties the taking of the census is
now going forward under the charge of the as
sistant marshalls. We suppose the marshall for
this county has or will soon commence. We would
again take occasion to remind our citizens of the
propriety of giving correct and prompt answers
when called upon. The gentlemen engaged in
taking the census are performing an official duty,
l and the law under which they act requires them
to •isit every habitation in their district, and
obtain the necessary information. It is to be
hoped that our citizens properly understand this
matter, as to refuse to answer, or to exclude the
census-takers from their premises is a violation
of the law which may subject the offender to a
penalty of $3O, while at the same time we may
add that any wilfully incorrect answer is pun
ished as perjury.
Another of them.
In addition to the two Delegates Green and
Donohue, in the Williamsport Convention, who
were bribed through Ovenshine and Ranken, we
now have the name of another rendered immor
tal. John Abrams,. a delegate from Philadel
phia, since he assisted in nominating Morrison,
Banks and Brawley, has been tried for stabbing,
a man, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of
$5OO, and undergo a service of four years in the
Eastern Penitentiary. Really the leaders of
the Democracy have reason to call upon their
party to organize." Samething ought to be
done.
Working Whigs.
A cotemporary, in adverting to the propriety
of placing none but wording Whig., in nomina
tion for office, says, with much force, that we
have had frequent demonstrations that none but
a candidate who works can be elected. If
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON, after his nomination had
remained at home in his parlor and left the en
tire task upon the shoulders of the party, where
would the Whigs of Pennsylvania be to-day 1
They would be in a hopeless minority with a
fair prospect of never recovering. Nothing
but the most indomitable perseveran:e on the
party of our worthy Governor eared the party
from defeat. Hence all must see the necessity'
of ACTION not only by the standard bearers
but by EVERY MEMBER OF THE PARTY.
In this particular we are happy to say the
wishes of the people have been gratified by the
recent Whig Convention. The candidates are
all of the working class, who have braved many
a hard fought battle in Pennsylvania. We go
into the coming contest with renewed vigor and
with the fullest confidence of success.
HONOR TO GEN. TAYLOR. -From one end of
the country to the other we hear of general de
monstrations of respect to the memory of Gen.
Taylor, all going to prove the affection in which
he was held by the people. His death is
everywhere by all parties, regarded as a great
national calamity.
Ll7The Rev. Theodore Parker, of Boston,
preached a sermon last Sunday against Gen.
Taylor, when a large portion of his congrega
tion roes and left the church.
The late Rain—Severe Storm.
The rain of last week, so much needed and so
beneficial in this region, to the summer crops,
was accompanied, in many sections of our coon
, try, with a most disastrous storm. We learn
verbally that there was a great flood in the Sus
quehanna, and that great damage has been lone
to the canal. One part of the town of Danville,
on the North Branch, was inundated, and the in
habitants had to flee for safety. The extent of
the damage done to the canal is not yet known.
The Railroad, below Harrisburg, was over
flowed for a considerable distance, canning a de
tention or the care. We clip the following from
the Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday
TIIE STORM AND THE CROPS.—The
storm of Thursday and Friday has pro-1
duced disasterous effects to the interior
counties of the State. In some counties
the crops were not harvested, and the
grain has been prostrated in all direc
tions. In the Cumberland Valley the
wheat has been nearly all cut, through
much of it remains shocked in the fields,
subject to the violence of the storm.--!
rThe oats have been thrown down in
every directicn, and it is doubtful wheth
er this crop will yield a one-third aver
age. The corn has been very backward
through the whole of Pennsylvania, and
in some localities has grown but a few
inches. It has been prostrated in all di
rections, and the fields look as if heavy
rollers had been passed over them. It
is probable, however, that, with labor,
the stalks may be raised and much of
the corn preserved. The wind has done
great damage. Trees have been torn
up by the roots in many places, end
broken branches and twigs are strewed
plentifully about the roads. All the
streams are much swollen, and disas
terous freshets are apprehended. The
Schuylkill, is covered with logs, drift
wood, various articles swept off by the
floods, and the river is rising rapidly.
We regret to record that several lives
have been lost on this river by the fresh
et. Four men were drowned at Phoenix
ville and two boys ; four are reported to
have been drowned at Cosshohocken,
four at Manayunk, and a little girl is
also reported to have lost her life. There
is a breach in the canal at the Big Cat
fish Dam, below Phoenixville, and the
centre wall of the lock gave way at the
darn above Phamixville.
In every direction, not only in our
own, but other States, the storm appears
to have raged with violence. At the
East there was a heavy fall of rain, ac
companied by thunder and lightning. In
the interior of New York there was a
tremendous storm, so heavy that the
railroad track in the valley of the Mo
hawk was several feet under water.
The President's Family.
Mr. Fillmore was married in 1826 to Abigal
Powers, the youngest child of Rev. Lemuel
Powers. She is still living, and is described as
a lady of great worth, modest and unobtrusive
in her deportment, and highly esteemed for her
many virtues. They havt but two children.—
The oldest, a son, is a young man of about twen
ty-one years of age, who has just entered upon
the practice of law in Buffalo. He is said to be
a gentleman of fine qualities, and worthy to be
the son of a Republican President. The daugh
ter presents a more notable example. She is
about eighteen years of age. Her accomplish
ments are many and varied, and her independent,
self-reliant character is exhibited in the fact that
she is now, or was very recently, a teacher in
one of the free public schools in Buffalo. She
is one of the women of whom the Republic has
much more reason to be proud than of all the
gay, gaudy women of fashion, who often show
as much acorn for school teachers as they do ig
norance of the true qualities of a republican
character. Such a family will do honor to the
White House.
THE RULING Passion.—lt is stated that, pre
vious to the last words of Gen. Taylor, lam
prepared to meet death," &c., he said to one of
the physicians
" You have fought a good fight, but you caw
not make a stand."
Thus indicating the consciousness of his ap
proaching dissolution, and the army simile that
was running in his head.
CASE OF PROFESSOR WICBSTEE.-The case of .
Professor Webster, who prays for a commuta
tion of sentence, came up before the committee
of pardons, in Boston, on Thursday morning.—
The proceedings and final decision have not yet
been made public. The general impression is
that the result is adver.vo to the Professor, and
that a day in October has been fixed for his ex
ecution.
TIIE Cuno Arraiti.—The llepubtieannounces
that information has recently been received at
the Navy Department from Cuba, which prom.
sea a most happy and immediate termination of
all dif f iculties growing omit of the Lopez expedi
tion.
13?" The New Hampshire Legislature has
just adjourned, having chartered six new banks
and granted an increase of capital to two old
ones. That's the way the locoforos put down
hauls.
J. Powrmt BRAWLEY AT Hour.—A large Lo
cofoco meeting was recently held at Conneaut
ville, Crawford county, which denounced the
nomination of J. Porter Brewley, fur the office
1 of Surveyor General, and resolved to oppose his
election. It is also said that his vote in the West
generally, will fall vastly short of that for the
other Locofoco candidates. His prospects of
success are truly beset with clouds and dangers.
With no warm friends, and an organized apposi
tion in the ranks of his own party, his defeat
must strike every one as more than probable.
0:, The number of building. destroyed by
the late fire at Philadelphia is 367.
The Effect.
The tone of the Press generally since the
death of the late President,—like that of the
public men at Washington, with here and there
an exception, indicates a calm in the public mind
and we trust that nothing may occur to re-awa
ken that deep excitement! which for so many
months past has distracted and agitated most un
favorably for the nation, all our public councils..
The suddenness of General Taylor's death seems
to have made speechless the men who but yes
terday were invoking anathemas upon the Union
and the Chief Magistrate of the nation. Death
and grave have silenced the assailers and their
censures, and in that better part of our nature,
the heart and the conscience, judgment and calm
reflection have taken the place of passion and
strife. It is the voice of God which now speaks
to us in those admonitory lessons which may
give peace to the Repub:ic and wisdom to its
counsellors. We trust this dispensation of Prov
idence will not be lost upon us. Over the grave
of the lamented dead, front the services of one
so eminently national in his character, and in
the midst of the public grief, our hearts cannot
fail to be touched with that sense of self-sacri
fice and feeling of patriotism which is necessary
to give strength and perpetuity to the Union.
We do not think that the North or South are
called upon to yield up anything of principle to
obtain this end. If we remember the prescri
bed limits to State action, the prescribed and
well defined powers of the Federal Government,
and the just relations existing between Federal
and State authority, and are willing to trust
something to that Providence which has guided
us to long and so well, surely we can meet upon
some common platform, where we may all rally
in defence of the Union and the Constitution.
If there be anything like sincere sorrow for
the death of the lamented chieftain whose re
mains are laid upon the banks of that same Po
tomac where reposes all that is mortal of the
Father of his country,—a statesman and a sol
dier whom the late President sought to make
the modle of his whole life, in the field and in
hip civil service—let that sincerity be manifes
ted by paying some heed to his constant and ear
nest devotion to the Union. General Taylor
commenced his Presidential career o■ the sth of
March, 181;) with these words upon his lips
4 , Let us invoke a continuance of the same Pro
tecting care which has led us from small begin
nings to the eminence we this Icy occupy; and
let us seek to deserve that continuance by pru
dence and moderation in our councils; by well
directed attemps to the assuage the bitterness
which too often marks unavoidable differences
of opinion; by the promulgation and practice
of just and liberal principles ; and by an enlar
ged patriotism, which shall acknowledge no lim
its but those of our own wide-spread Repub
lic."
The last public appearance of General Taylor
was to do honor to the memory of Washington,
and to the anniversary of the American Decla
ration of Independence. Daring his brief ill
ness Le recurred to the day, the occasson and
the Monument, and his words were—" Let it rise
(he said); let it ascend without interruption;
let it point to the skies ; let it stand forever as
a lasting monument of the gratitude and affec
tion of a free people to the Father of his Coun
try."
" Being dead, he yet speaketh,"—from the
field of bottle, from the camp, and, more than
all, in those words of true devotion to the best
interest of his country and of mankind. Such
an example never dies ; but let us give an action
and practical existence by invoking God and
men to stand by the Republic to the end of time.
—Expre3s.
Whig Celebration.
The Whigs of Philadelphia celebrated the 4th
of July, with a grand festival, at the "Museum
Buildings." The Committee of arrangements
addressed invitations to a number of distinguish
ed Whigs, inviting them to attend the celebra
tion. Among the number we find the following
letter, from our representative, Mr. CALVIN, in
reply to the committee :
WASHINGTON, June 30, 1850.
GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your kind in
vitation, as a committee of the Demo
cratic Whig citizens of Philadelphia, to
a festival on the approaching anniversa
ry of American Independence.
1 sympathise ►nosi heartily with the
gallant Whigs of Philadelphia in their
ardent devotion to our glorious Union
and Constitution, and in their firm deter
mination to give a candid and unwaver
ing support to the State and National
Administrations. President Taylor and
Gov. Johnston have both fully justified
the confidence reposed in them by the
Whig party, and have strong claims upon
us, not only for our support, but for our
gratitude.
It would afford me great pleasure to
meet my Whig brethren of Philadelphia,
on so interesting an occasion, and to
unite in renewing our pledges of devo
tion to the Union and to Whig princi
ples; but I am sorry to inform you that
1 find my duties here will prevent me
from enjoying that pleasure.
I am, gentleman, very respectfully,
SAMUEL CALVIN.
To the committee.
By the Committee—The Hon. S. Calvin—a
sound Republican, an npright man, a faithful
representative.
THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.-The Memphis
Eagle says :
g• Those gentlemen who have recently been
seen wandering through the streets of our city
and looking unutterally mysterious and heroic
things, are not Hungarian exiles (as has been
falsely reported,) but delegates on their way
from the Nashville Convention."
U7lr is said that the Delegates to the late
Williamsport Convention are having prepared a
block of marble for the Washington monument,
with the following expressive inscription
~ OVENSHINE r'
MOM WASHINGTON
For the last week we have had all sorts of co
mors and reports in regard to the new Cabinet,
&c. We will give some of the despatches deem.
ed most reliable.
WASIIINOTON, July, 16
Tax CAnrin - r.—The President had another
conference with the Cubinet cm Tuesday. They
agreed to remain until Monday next at his nob
citation, by which time, most probably a new
Cabinet will be formed. The present Cabinet,
though invited, declined to counsel as to the new
organization. During their continuance in office
they will exercise executive, not advisory func
tions. This course, so far as we can understand,
is not pursued on account of any hostility on the
part of the present Cabinet to the new Presi
dent, but is owing to the fact that the disputed
boundary between New Mexico and Texas has
assumed a shape which demands positive and
immediate action is some form. Their desire
in withdrawing, is to keep him entirely untram
meled, and to place his Administration in such
an attitude that their counsels may not interfere
with what may be considered as a more judi
cious or wiser expedient in.the present exigen
cy.
The President is understood, (so says the spe
cial correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American) as determined to follow Gen. Tay
lor's policy respecting New Mexico, and will
act as soon as the Cabinet is formed. Should
the Compromise Bill fail, it is asserted in high
places, that the President will present a new
plan of adjustment.
WAsuINGTos, July 19.
Mr. Webster has been offered the Secretary
ship of State, and accepts it. Mr. Pearce, of
.Maryland, is offered the Secretaryship of the
Treasury, and is considering of it. Mr. Gra
ham accepts the Secretaryship of War. Mr.
Vinton may go into till interior. Mr. MeKen
nan, of Pa., may be Postmaster General. Mr.
Crittenden, of Ky., has been telegraphed to be
Attorney General, and will probably accept; the
seventh person is not yet agreed upon. The
Cabinet will probably be sent in to-morrow.
TIIE COMPROMISE. BILL-The chances for the
passage of the Compromise Bill are said to be
bad in the Senate. Mr. Webster has made an
other speech in its favor and Mr. Clay was ex
pected to make his last speech on the subject on
Saturday, and then the vote would be taken.
TILE GALPHIN BUSINVBS.-Secretary Crawford
has sent a letter to the House af Representa
tives, offei ing to deposit the money received on
the Galphin claim, and leave the decision of his
rights to the Supreme Court of the U. States.—
'rhis is a truly honorable course, for which Mr.
Crawford deserves great credit.
PRESIDENTLtmorcE. President Fillmore
had a slight attack of Cholera on Tuesday. He
is again out and as well as ever. The President
transacts his official business at the White
House, but has not vet removed there.
GEN. TAYLOR'S FAMILY.-Mrs. Taylor, wife
of the late President, Col. Bliss, and Dr. Wood,
with their wives and families, arrived at Balti
moie on Thursday evening. They will make
their permanent residence in that city. The
remains of Gen. Taylor, it is now said, will re
main in the Congressional burying ground, in
accordance with his wish to be buried in the
place where he d:ed.
Later !
THE NEW CABINET.-The following Cabinet
has been formed by the President. It is able
and decidedly Whig.
Secretary of State—Daniel Webster, of Mass,
Secretary of Treasury—Mr. Corwin, of Ohio,
Secretary of Interior--Mr. Pearce, of Md.
Secretary of War—Mr. Bates, of Missouri.
Secretary of Navy—Mr. Graham, of N. Car,
Postmaster General—Mr. Hall, of N. York.
Attorney General—Mr. Crittenden, of Ky.
a 2, THE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY of New
York, who were supposed to have buried all
their past disputes, are again at loggerheads, and
fighting each other as vigorously as ever. The
bone of contention is the election of a United
States Senator in the place of Daniel S. Dickin
son. The Hunkers stick to him, and will hear
of no other man. The Barnburners are de
nouncing him in all their newspapers, and have
commenced a systematic agitation by holding
mass meetings. If the Barnburners give in a
second time they may as well abandon at once
all idea of future independence, and will deserve
to wear the collar in all time to come.
incident of the President.
The acts and speeches which marked the clo
sing scenes of Gen. Taylor's life will doubtless
be gathered up and treasured in the memory of
his countrymen. The following anecdote is re
lated of him, and whether truly reported or not
is certainly characteristic. The Tlte New Fort
Mirror says:
It is but a few days since, when a delegation
waited upon him to remonstrate against his lib
eral position on the slavery question, and totalk
of disunion as the inevitable consequence of the
admission of California as a free State, that he
uttered these memorable words i—t , Gentlemen,"
said the President, "if ever the flag of Disunion
is raised within the borders of these United
States while I occupy the Chair, I will plant the
stars and stripes alongside of it, and with my
own hand strike it clown, if not a soul comes to
toy aid south of Mason and Dixon's line C'
VIOLENCE OF PARTY Seinix.—" It is gratify
to observe," says the Albany Register, " the
uniform tone of kindness and respect in which
the character of the late President is spoken of
by journals that were politically opposed to
him." The Washington Republic, in copying
this expression, says that is in view of the ex
treme license of traduction which many journals'
of the opposition took in speaking of Gen. 'Tay
lor living, the contrast presented by their lan
guage of regret over his' tomb is calculated to
teach an impressive lesson. The sincerity of
their expressions of veneration we do not ques
tion at all; but the recklessness of former de•
traction, uttered under temporary excitement,
and for transient political ends—how severe a
condemnation does it now receive in the inmost
hearts of the traducers, they themselves being 1 1
their own arraigners !"
t)-The Cholera is raging with fearfal vio
lence in the City or Mexico. From the 17th
May to the 16th June there were 2702 deaths,
since which it has been on the increase anti! re

Foreign News.
The news by the steamer Hibernia is
not of much importance. Russia, ns the

but it is said that a reaction is going on
nt a t.emendous pace; but ns it is the
pace that kills, it is not unlikely that
some of the monarchs will break their
necks in the race towards the good old
times. The King of Prussia has pub
