WHIG STATE CONVENTION.
At a Meeting of the Whig State Central
Committee, held at Harrisburg on Tues
day the 4th instant, it was resolved that
the Delegates to the late Whig State Con
vention be requested to assemble in Phila
delphia on the NINETEENTH DAY OF
JUNE next, at 9 o'clock, A. M., for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the Death of Hon.
Richard Coulter.

The Fillmorelfeeting kuPhilladek-
phia and the Presidency:
A meeting of the friends of Mr. Fillmore,
in Philadelphia, for the next Presidency
was held in the Chinese Museum on last
Saturday evening. Speeches were made
and resolutions passed strongly urging his
nomination on the Baltimore Convention
and endorsing his administration. It was
officered by one President, fifty-eight Vice
Presidents and nine Secretaries. Tho re
solutions, though highly favorable to Mr.
Fillmore, evinced no disparagement of the
merits of Gen. Scott; and the introductory
remarks of Dr. Mitchell, a Native, who of
fered them, we consider rather brilliant.—
Some of the speakers took exception to the
action of the Whig State Convention in ex
pressing its preference for Gen. Scott—es
pecially Col. Swift, who has probably eat
en too many oysters and drunk too much
brandy at one o'clock in the ramming, to
have clear views on political questions.—
The whole meeting ended by the appoint
ment of its officers as a committee, to at
tend the Whig National Convention to help
to bully it into the nomination of Mr. Fill
more.
We have no objection to these gentlemen
or any others expressing their preferences
for, or advocating the nomination of Mr.
Fillmore, for we approve his administration
as warmly% they do; but in addition to
the great and important question of fitness
for the place, we consider the question of
success as of equal if not greater magni
tude. Gen. Scott possesses a strung and
vigorols mind, well versed in the princi
ples of government and constitutional lib
erty, and in every particular as well quali
fied as Mr. Fillmore—while in addition
thereto the prestige of victory glitters on
his brow. We do not belong to that class
of people who would prefer defeat with one
man rather than secure a victory with an
other. We fight for the success of our
principles and our organization, and the
inquiry with us is—who, qualifications be
ing the same, can carry the Whig banner,
unriddled by hostile bullets, through the
conflict? The man who has defended our,
homes and stamped glory and pride on the,
crests of our eagles can and will achieve a
political victory which will make Whig
hearts beat with enthusiasm and joy. A
few riara from Niagara and an earthquake
swell from the vallies of Mexico—and Gen.
Scott is President.
tr"' The Democratic State Convention
of Michigan met at Detroit on the 28th ult.,
and unanimously nominated Lewis Cass for
the next Presidency. They passed a se
ries of resolutions, no one of which al
ludes by name to the Compromise Meas

Convention which huts dodged this question.
10'" The suit between the Bank of Penn
sylvania and the State of Pennsylvania was
tried recently in ifarrisburg. A verdict

tion,
Address of the Wight State Central'
Committee,
The Whigs of Pennsylvania, profoundly
sensible of the importance of the great
political struggle they are about to enter,
beg leave respectfully to submit, through
their State Central Committe, to their fel
low Whigs of the Union, a statement of
their position, and their reasons for main
taining it.
As Pennsylvaniahas never yet cast her
electoral vote in vain, and as she is likely
to become, as heretofore, the arbiter of the
contest, and, of consequence, the battle
ground, it is proper for those who have
the best means to know the ground, and
its circumstances, to impart their knowl
edge candidly and honestly to their breth
ren of the same faith and party.
The history of the past fully establishes
the falsity of the proposition that Re
publics are ungrateful. The memories of
Washington, Jackson ' Harrison and Tay
lor, teach us that the American Republic
has never yet been ungrateful to those who
have led her armies, defended herright, and
adorned her name with an imperishable re
nown. This is in accordance with the na
ture of man—in accordance with a noble
and generous impulse. And as long as hu
man hearts are constituted as now, the
man who has denied himself the comforts
of home—foregone the pleasures of wealth
—invested the strength of his body and the
powers of his mind—risked health and life
in the defence of his country—will always
receive at thp hands of his fellow citizens
the highest earthly honors and rewards
when the opportunity offers to confer
them.
In fidelity to the Constitution, And in
gratitude to its defenders, Pennsylvania
acknowledges no superior. Within the
broad limits of this great Democratic Em
pire there is to be found no Commonwealth
more loyal and patriotic. And while it
is very certain that no man who is not true
to the Constitution in all its parts and the
Union in its integrity, can stand even the
shodow of a chance to obtain her electoral
vote,—it is equally certain that no man,
Whig or Democrat, has so much the con
fidence and affection of her people as WIN
FELD SCOTT. Our adversaries know this,
and most earnestly and bitterly deprecate
his nomination. Out we arc aware that if
they bad the good fortune to possess
such a candidate, there would be no divi
ded counsels among them in regard to his
nomination. If General Scott belonged to
the ranks of the enemy, instead of being
an honest, brave, and reliable Whig,
the first Baltimore Convention would
nominate him by acclamation.
Shall we be less wise than our adversa
ries? Shall we sacrifice the victory that
stretches out before us? Shall we suffer
the Whig banner to trail again in defeat,
and tho Capitol of the Nation to be once
more entirely given up to those whose
principles are, in our opinion, opposed to
its prosperity and its greatness? The de
cision rests with this Whig National Con
vention.
And while wo pledge ourselves to an
honest, zealous and enthusiastic support
of the nominee of that Convention, who
ever he may be—for we are accustomed to
look above the standard beared to the
standard--most kindly and earnestly en
treat our follow 'Whigs to remember that
in Pennsylvania—the battle ground—the
name of Scott is as invincible as on the
battle field of Mexico. But though he is
the choice of her 200,000 Whigs, and of
thousands of her Democrats, we will
leave unmade no effort, however fruitless,
and unexerted, no influence, however bar
ren of victory, in behalf of either of his
great competitors. Our only inquiries
shall be•—ls he a Whig? Is he true to
the Constilutton.
With Winfield Scott. the Whigs of the
United States can achieve a certain and
easy victory. With any other candidate
it might be considered doubtful, if not
desperate. Not because the Whig party,
as a National party, is the weaker, because,
in the present nicely balonced condition of
parties, it is difficult for either to be vic
torious in two successive contests. We
repeat, that with Scott, we can obtain cer
tain and easy victory.
For the people believe, with an unanimi
ty unprecedented, that ho cannot be bea
ten. And this state of the public mind in
sures the result, as any ono knows who is
at all skilled in political events.
And who shall say that Winfield Scott
is not fit for the high station to which we
would elevate him? Has any single impor
tant net of his life evinced a want of abili
ty. Who shall say that the commanding
genius which has raised his name to the
loftiest rank among the immortal names of
earth, will not prove equal to any position
or any crisis that may arise in the civil af
fairs of men 2 Do the humbled battle
ments of Yore Cruz—the stormed heights
of the Mexican mountains—or the Ameri
can flag waving in triumph over a con
quered empire, attest this want of ability?
We leave history and fame to answer.
In view of the important contest we are
about to enter, and for the sake of the
cherished principles for which we have so
long contended, side by side, under one
banner, and with one battle cry, the
Whigs of Pennsylvania call upon the
Whigs of the United States to uinte with
them in another mighty and successful ef
fort to overthrow again and forever the
pernicious principles of their common ad
versary.
By resolution of the State Central Com
mittee.

IN'TOWN—springfevor,
Who are the Agitators?
The agitation of the Compromise mea
sures still continues. A set of demagogues
in Congress seem determined to allow the
country no rest on that subject. Not sat
isfied with the affirmation of these measures
by the caucus held by the Whigs at the
assembling of Congress, they wished to
force resolutions through the meeting held
to fix the day for holding the National
Convention, and because they failed they
, threatened to leave the party. These men
I are the only real agitators at this time.—
If they would let the matter drop very lit
tle would be heard about it, in political
circles. A few fanatics may try to agitate
in the North, but they have no influence
politically. The people generally in the
North are disposed to offer no opposition to
the enforcement of any law, and if the de
magogues of the South would but cease
their clamor there would be but little more
agitation of these questions than there is
of the Missouri Compromise. The people
of the North are disposed to let them stand
—to regard them as a "finality;" but they
arc not disposed to affirm them every time
they meet in convention or adopt them as a
part of the Whig creed, and they should
not be asked to do so. To make them the
test of a man's fidelity, to the Whig party
will produce mischief, will lead to the for
mation of new parties, and the presentation
of new issues. The Southern men who re
ally wish to stop the agitation of this sub
ject, have only to shut their own mouths—
to hold their peace. If they will let the
matter drop, there will be no noise or con
fusion to unsettle public opinion or disturb
the peace and tranquility of the country.

Gen. Cass and Com. Stockton.
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, a Demo
cratic paper of much influence, has com

1 opens with the traits of Gen. Cass and
COmmodore Stockton, and, as our readers
may wish to see how a Democratic artist
(evidently of the "Young America party)
treats his subjects, we give the following
as a specimen of his ability :
"Gen. Cass is par excellence, the old Fo
gy of the American Senate. After
but immeasurably behind him, comes Coin.
Stockton, having, though inferior develope
mont, many of those qualities which have
gained for the Michigan Senator the title
of "His most unapproachable Foginess."—
Like Gen. Cass, Corn. Stockton is unim
peachable, 'respectable' and venerably stu
pid—garrulous beyond precedent, and gou
ty without doubt. Indebted for his posi
tion solely to his wealth, pampered by a
long course of flattery and good dinners, a
great man in a small neighborhood, ho has
all the elements of prosiness, dignity and
dullness so wised in him that nature may
stand up and say to all the world, this is a

07 - The Missouri Democracy, who had
harmonized so perfectly at their late State
Convention, have got by the ears again al
ready—at least in the St. Louis District,
which "Old Bullion" had staked off for
himself, intending that it should furnish
him a scat in the next Congress; but the
Antics appear to have out-witted him or
some how upset his calculations, and Col.
L. V. Bogy has been nominated--"regu
larly," they say—for the post, the Bon
tonites withdrawing from the Convention.
We shall not be surprised if this rupture
breeds further trouble.
By the way—since no apportionment un
der the New Census has yet been made, it
is quite absurd to choose Congressmen at
all in Missouri this year. The State is en
titled to seven instead of five as heretofore,
and there is no reason for voting before
districting.—N. Y. Tribune.

It may be an item of interest to many of
our readers to know how much they have

We have not been able to get hold of the
bills presented to our State by sundry land
lords and others for entertaining Kossuth;
but if our recollection of the wrangling in
our Legislature about it serves us rightly,
it will compare pretty favorably with the
following, which is a true copy of his bill
at the National House, Washington City,
and which was paid by Congress:

GOLD IN WISCONSIN.—SevoraI lumps of
gold were discovered in a ravine in the vil
lage of Mineral Point, (Wisconsin,) on Sat
urday the Ist inst, worth from $2 to $4. On
the Monday following, half the town turned
out to search for the "hidden treasure," and
in a short time found a "lead," containing
gold, silver and diamonds, and before noon,
$2OO worth of these precious metals were
taken from the earth.

killed, and another was severely wound-
Grope Vines—Considerable interest in their fa•
vor here.
It appears, says the Norristown Watch
man, that Mr. Seagrist had been at one of
the neighboring powder mills with a load of
empty kegs, where he purchased about four
pounds of powder, which he took home
with hint. During the absence of himself
and wife, the children, by some means, got
possesion of the powder, and while playing
with it in the store, it ignited, killing a
boy aged about 9 years, almost instantly,
and injuring two others, aged about four
and six, so badly that they died shortly af
ter; a small child lying in the cradle was
also burnt so severely that it was not ex
pected to recover. A neighbor named Ser
ver, who was engaged in chopping wood
close by, hearing the explosion and seeing
the smoke, ran to the spot when he perceiv
ed two of the boys, with their clothes burnt
off, with the exception of their suspenders
and a small particle of clothing around their
waists—one of which was running towards
the barn, and the other lying in a mud hole.
Upon entering the house, he found the oth
er boy lying dead upon the floor, and a lit
tle child lying in the cradle crying—the
clothes of which were on fire. The little
thing was burned very severely, but at last
accounts was still living, though its suffer
ings were intense, and little prospects of
its recovery. The two boys survived their
brother but a short time, and the three were
buried in the Ridge Valley burying ground
on Saturday last. This is one of the most
horrible and distressing accidents that has
ever fallen to our lot to record, as by one
swoop, a whole family of interesting chil
dren is destroyed, and a fond father and af
fectionate mother, left to mourn the untime
ly end of their little ones.
Escape of Thomas F. Meagher,
We have already mentioned the rumor
of the escape of Mr. Meagher, ono of the
Irish exiles, from Van Deman's Land..—
The New York Truth Teller contains the
following extract from a private letter, da
ted on board a British ship, at Hobart
Town, Jan. 18th, which would seem to
confirm the rumor:
"Meagher has made his escape from
this—some say he has broken his parole,
others say not. He wrote to the Police
Magistrate of his district, to say that he
did not wish his leave extended. Some
say he left before the letter was delivered,
others say he did not, but that he remain
ed until a person who was sent to watch
him came to his house. He came out and
asked the man whether he wanted him.—
He said 'No.' He then went into the
house and escaped through the back way.
In two hours after some more police came
to arrest him, but the bird had flown.—
And so the case stands."
LIQUOR SEIZURE AND DESPERATE RE
SISTANCE.—Four barrels and two kegs of
liquor were seized at a store on Congress,
above Washington street, kept by an Irish
man named George McKeon, a few days
since. While Deputy Marshal Hall was
reading the warrant for the seizure, McKe
on's wife incited him to resist, and he seiz
ed a butcher knife, some two feet in length,
and after making several passes at officer
Hall, struck at policeman Francis G. Lor
ing, and cut him from the top of his fore
head to the bridge of his nose, into the
bone.
The policemen then made at him with
their billies, and in the scuffle, McKeon re
ceived several severe wounds on the head,
which finally felled him to the floor. He
was then taken to the watch house, where
Drs. Sweat and Tukesbury were soon in at
tendance and dressed his and officer Lor
ing's wounds.
— All the liquor that could be found in the
store was seized. A keg of liquor was seiz
ed at the store of Mr. Ward, the next build
ing below.
- The police posse deserve to be highly
commended for their coolness and determi
nation in the matter—and it is to be hoped
that McKeon will be punished with the out
most rigor of the law.—P ortland advert
