, A kovement In the nou.ntrititner Meet*
lug In the Northern Liberties.
• The people are every where in motion
. , .
With rofhrence to the approaching guberna
torial contest. The Whigs of the Northern
Liberties held a public meeting in the Coin
' nussionors' Hall of that district ) on the eve
ning of Monday last. It was highly respec
table in point of numbers- , - , the best feeling
prevailed—and but one' opinion was ex
pressed as to the course which the Whigs
should pursue under existing circumstances.
It-is universally conceded on the part of our
political friends ) that of the three candidates
at present in the field, JOSEPH RIMER,
being the only one identified with Whig
principles, is therefore the only candidate
' who should and will secure the support of
the Whig party.
JOSEPH SMITH, Esq. • was called to
_Vie Chair.
Jon Tilt/311'50N and CHARLES DOWNER,
e era appointed Vice Presidents,
A ml Benjamin Matthias and Dr. R. M.
Mears', were chosen Secretaries.
joeeting was addressed in the course
of the ttvohling in animated and appropriate
terms, by ilVos.srs. Matthias, Kennedy and
11.)nedict, twit'. the following preamble and
resolutions, re ported by a Committee ap
pointed for the jpurpose, were unanimously
adopted:—
Whereas, thelshaineful abuse of official
patronage, and tine wasteful expenditure of
public monies, which have characterized the
administration of *corgi Wolf fur the past
throe years, togethek r with his utter disre
gard for the great int:ol.ests of Pennsylvehia,
When brought in conftlict with the purposes
of ambitious Politiciam. 4 at Washington, and
his--willing snbservieT c y to their wishes,
though at the sacrifice of all 'our cherished
policies, have excited throughout the State,
in the ranks of all pellties, but one feeling of
distrust and intliviation, and produced in the
minds ofour famners, mechanics and traders,
a resolute deliermination to rescue the State
from his l),6rde of office holders who are now
seeptiating upon her revenues and prostra
tinig her dearest interests at the shrine of
Burenism, and to place the direction of
her affairs in an Executive and Legislature
who will sustain her interests and honor, de-
tipite the intrig ues and plots of the money
changers at Alany, and their associates at
Washington.
Therefore Resolved ) That we will cor
dially unite with our fellow citizens in the
county in placing in the Executive . chair .
JOSEPH RITN ER, the Washington
tv• Farmer, pledging ourselves to Use all
honorable exertions to secure him a triuniph
ant majority over any and all opposition.
Because we recognize in him the trite
friend of internal improvements,'who will
direct the energies of the State to a speedy
clmpletion (Ahem, and make them a source
of revenue to pay the interest on our present
debt of 25 millions, rattier than delay them,
that retainers and partizans may be fed at
the public Crib, while they act es a political
body guard to corrupt public sentiment and
disseminate false information, and thus ten
der new loans necessary annually to pay
interest on the present debt, and to support
the party drillers.
Because we believe election will heal
the disaatistaction growing out ofthe extrav
agant cost of our internal improvements, in
asmuch as all will rest satisfied from his
known * political integrity,' that a judicious
economy and a strict accountability will
hereafter govern in the disbursements ofthe
public mcinies.
Because we believe his friendship for Gen
eral Education, accompanied as it is by a
personal experience of the trials and dill-
Culues whieh,the man has to encounter in
obtaining it ( when in youth it is denied him
by poverty or misfortune i will make him
too firm a friend to forsake the cause to
please the wire workers of party politics,
and that under his administration Pennsyl
vania will be found knocking at the Treasu
ry of Washington for her share of the Public
Land revenues to support General Educa
tion, instead of being spent to purchase up
the liress with post office contracts and ex
tra allowances.
Resolved, as the sense of the meeting,
That the question of reform is one descry.
ittg the calm and dispassionate consideration
of every freeman, particularly when we are
cf:tily witnessing such gross and shameless
abuses in the exercise of official patronage,
and wc: urge.upon our fellow citizens to con
t:idc r ti&c question without reference to par
ty-politics, that, if approved of by die people,
it may be kept free from the influence' of
politicians in ultimately determining it.
Resolved, 'that a committee of 20 be tip
, pointed by the chairman of this meeting to
sect as a standing committee, and as a com
mittee of correspondence to aid in promot
ing the election of JOSEPH RUINER.
Under the last resolution the following
named gentlemen were appointed:

The following preamble and resolutions

Whereas, this association is strongly im
pressed with the importance of timely pre
paration on the part of the Whigs of the city
of Philadelphia, when as the time has arriv
ed for the freemen of Pennsylvania, to com
mence the preparations for their gubernato
rial election, and whereas in no place is the
enormity of the evils arising from the ;pal
administration of the General Goverittnent
more evident than in our State: Therefore
Resolved, That as component parts of
the Republican Whig Party, we hereby re
new oar pledge to support by all honorable
means, the cause of the party to which we
belong, and to sustain the nomination to of
fice of individuals known to us and our party,

A Movement In the City... Another Ititnor
Meeting.
We yesterday gave the proceedings of a
public meeting of Whigs, of the Northern
Liberies, favorable to the election of Jo
skum RITNEIt, as Governor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania. We have now to
record another movement of the same char
acter. On Monday evei.ing last, the Whigs
of Now• Market Ward (in the City) held a
meeting with a similar object. We annex
the official proceedings.- The resolutions
cannot but meet with the approbation of ev
ery Whig voter in the State.. The other
wards will, no doubt, follow in the footsteps
of New Market. We are assured that the
meeting was large, and highly respectable;
and that the resolutions were passed wittifitit
a dissenting voice. Well done, New Mar
ket! One of the first to speak out in favor of
the Whig Candidate, she will be the last to
desert his banner.
NEW MARKET WARD.
A Meeting of the Whigs, of Now Market
Ward, was held at Wood's, on Monday eve
ning, Oth inst., for the purpose of expressing
their sentiments respecting the choice of a
suitable candidate for the office of Governor
of the Commonwealth. The meeting was
organized by the appointment of Adam
Ramage, President; Win. Champion and
Robert Werner, Vice Presidents, and Chas.
B. Tre_go and John Rhoads, Secretaries.
On Cotton, Messrs. Trego, Lancaster,
and Abbott were ail, 'lilted a Committee to
prepare resolutions expressive of the sense
of the meeting; who, having retired for
short time, reported the following, which
were unanimously adopted.
We, the Whigs of New Market Ward ; in
general ward meeting assembled, believing
that the time has now come; when an ex
pression of sentiment respecting a suitable
Candidate for the office of Governor of Penn
sylvania, is both proper and expedient—do
hereby solemnly proclaim and declare the
following as our free and deliberate opinions
and resolutions on the subject.
We cannot support George Wolf for that
high and responsible situation, because the
exporiencd of two terms in office has shown
us that lie is not the impartial and enlighten.
ed Chief Magistrate of the whole Common
wealth, diSpensing equal regard and equal . ,
favors to all; but has shown himself to be
the tool of a Comm upt faction of political huck
sters, who are gambling away our rights
and liberties—and Who have, contrary to
the democratic doctrine of rotation in office,
again thrust him forward fel. a third term, 1
in order to prolong their own dominion and
influence.
. We cannot support him, because the vote
of his friends in the Baltimore Convention,
proved that he is pledged to Martin Van
Buren; and that, according to their odious,
corrupting and despotic system of party poli
tics, nofw►thstanding their utter hostility to
Van Buren. they have determined, as a
matter of interest and expediency, to sup•
port him: to rid in his election, therefore,
would brand the Whigs with dishonor, hod
hold them up as recreant to the noble prin
ciples for which they have se long and so
zealously contended.
For the same reason we cannot support
Henry A. Muhlenberg, the Candidate of the
office holders under the National Govern-
ment; men who feed upon the public cribs
of the custom House and the Post Office;
and who, not content with all the power aul
patronage of the General Government,
wielded in their favour, are eagerly grasp
ing at the spoils, emoluments, and offices
at the disposal of the Executive of the State.
Resolved, That we will support JOSEPH
RITNER, as our Candidate for Governor,
without any reference to political Masonry
or Anti-Masonry,—because ; we believe him
to be thoroughly and truly a Whig in spirit
and practice, and a firm; advocate and sup
porter of the principles by which we are
governed, and entertaining the same views
on all great questions of National policy
which we have ourselves maintained.
• We will support him because we believe
that, under his administration, the State will
be regenerated; and that a liberal and en
lighted policy will enable Pennsylvania to
take that elevated rank among her sister
states, .to which she ought to be morally,
physically, and politically entitled. This,
we believe, because he is a Pennsylvanian
in principle and in feeling, and as such, will
be the Executive officer of the whole Coin
monwealth, and not the tool of a corrupt fac
tion of..oflice holders and demagogues, who
make self-interest their only guide in politi
cal action.
We will support him, because,- on all
questions of State and National policy, he
known tube opposed to the rash and irnprovi•
dent measures which have shaken, to the
very fouudution, our free institutions, and
endangered the stability of ou: Republic;
atid because his well known democratic
principles of action would keep him trtie to
the best interests of the people. be.
lieve, also, that under his administration,
the question of REFORM, if called for by
the will of the people, fairly ascertained,
would receive his zealous co.operation frJrn
principle and regard for the public good—
and not from views of personal popularity.
After the appointment of'u Ward Execu.
tive Committee, the meeting adjourned.

COLON EL JOHNSON.
Since the nomination olCol. Johnson, for
the Vice Presidency, various rumors have
been circulated inlelation to the colour and
character of his family. The following is
from a late number of the Courier and En
quirer of New York:—
"It may be a matter of no importance to
mere political automatolis whether Richard
M. Johnson is a White or a Black man—
whether ho is free or a slave—or whether
ho is married to, or has been in connexion
with a jet•black, thick-lipped, odoriferous
negro wench,hy whom he has reared a fami
ly of children, whom he has endeavored to
force upon society, as every ivay worthy of
being considered the equals and the asso
ciates of his free white fellow citizens; it
matters not, we say, with Mr. Van Buren
and his fillowers, what may he the color of
either Johnson, his wife, or his children.
If they can succeed in obtaining possession
of the Government by the aid of his popular
ity with the Amalgainationists, it is Of no
consequence to them if in the estimation of
all honest men and all foreign nations, our
country could be forever disgraced and be
come a bye word and a reproach. But
thank God, to the great majority of the peo
ple, of the United States we may with safe•
ty address ourselves on this subject, with a
full conviction that in their breasts we oltall
find a response to the patriotic feelings which
induce the appeal. However devoted they
may have been to Andrew. Jackson—how
ever deluded they may even now be by Von
Buren and his system of party tactics—we
confidently believe that they will never give
a vote for the elevation of Van Buren to of
fice, when it is well understood that the same
vote places in the chair of the Vice Presi
dency a man who hits for more than twenty
years lived in open connexion with a negro
slave—who has recognised her offspring as
his children, educated them and endeavored
to force them upon society as in all respc':•tu ,
equal to those of his free white neighbors,l
and who now boasts that his black or yellow
daughters, are as accomplished girls us;unyT

• The pay rolls, filed in the Auditor Gener

served as a private soldier in a six months
campaign in the North Western A rmy, dis
tinguished for sabring, privation and hard-
ship. As a proof of this, it is only neces
sary to mention the fact, that, so severe was
the campaign, acd so perilous to life and
health, that the Legislature of Pennsylvania
voted a bounty of 211, to each non-commis
sioned officer and private, who served the
whole term of six months. It was the pro
tection of these Pennsylvania troops that
saved the inhabitants of the frontier from
beconiing the victims of British and savage
cruelty. Each individual's name who re
ceived the bounty of Pennsylvania, can be
seen by calling at the Auditor General's Of

heretofore, but from those where in 1832
there was no organization in his favor, and
where his supporters were few. The chan
ges that are taking place in favor of the

of divorces, she will compete with almost

ten acts of the last Legislature, for divorcing
as many married couple! Among others,
Martha Redman gets relieved from her bad
man, El isha Redman, and has leave to mar•
ry again. Hester Burke, not being fond of
!lurking, obtains a divorce from Thomas
Burke; John Roberts having been robbed a
year or two ago of his wife Betsey, who es.
caped with one Witherington, thus wither
ing her husband's affections, procures the
nuptial knot to be severed; Robert Star,
(who it is supposed was a sort of a Shooting
Star,) having 'shot madly from his sphere,'
his wife Lydia in revenge sues out a divorce;
Elizabeth being "up Iv smil," gets divorced
from her husband, Green Upstergrovo; and
Mary Ann Child, getting tired of Child's
play, obtains a divorce from her husband,
though a Hale Child; also, Indiana Cordelia
'S. Richards, not being over rich in wedded
bliss, finds the yoke hard and breaks loose
from her rich hard spouse, Wolcott Rich

From the Mobile titer of May 23.
The fate of Mrs. Alston, the accomplish•
ed lady of Gov. Alston, of South Carolin e ,
and daughter of Aaron Burr, has been
I shrouded in mystery for more than twenty
years. Occasionally, indeet4 some gleams
of light have been thrown around her mel
ancholy end, and the belief is that she fell a
victim to piratical atrocity. Some three
years ago it was currently reported that a
man residing in one of the interior countres
of this State, made 13 ome disclosure on his
death bed, which went to confirm the con
fession previously made by a culprit on the
gallows, that the vessel in which Mrs Al
ston sailed, was scuttled for the sake of her
plate and etßicis. The following article,
which we copy from the Alabama Journal,
goes to throw some additional light on the
subject. The filets mentioned in it are new
to us, and will be probably, to most of our
readers:—
CONFESSION OF A PIRATE.
The public, no doubt, remembers the
story of the daughter of Aaron Burr, who
' was the wife of Governor Alston, of South
Carolina. On the return of her father from
Europe, about the year 1812, she embark.
ad front Charleston on a visit to hint at New
York, on board a privateer built vessel, and
was never heard of afterwards. It seems
that her friends at first thougt the vessel
had fallen into the hands of the pirates, and
afterwards concluded that it was wrecked
and lost. It appears trom the statement of
a respectable merchant of Nlebile, that a
man died in that city recently, who confess
ed to his physician on his dying bed, that
he had been a pirate, and helped to destroy
the vessel and all the crew and passengers,
in which Mrs. Alston had embarked for
New York. He declared, says this gentle
men, that after time men were all killed,
there was an unwillingness on the part of
every pirate to take the life of Mrs. Alston,
who had not resisted them or fought them,
and therefore they drew lots who should per
form the deed, as it had to be done.
The lot fell on this pirate, who declares
that he effected his object of putting the la
dy to death, by the laying a plank along
the edge of the ship on it and half off, or
over the edge, and made Mrs. Alston walk
on that plank till it tilted over into the water
with her. The dying pirate requested his
physician to make his story public, but his
surviving family will not permit or consent
that the name of the deceased should be
known.
The above tale was repeated over and
over by the merchant before mentioned, in
the presence of a number of gentlemen
whose names can be given. He said he re.
ceived it from the physician himself, with
no other injunction to secrecy, than that he
should not disclose the name of the physi
cian for the present. On being asked if the
physician was a man of veracity and respec
tability, he replied there was no one more
so in Mobile. The merchant was warned
that his story would get into the newspapers,
to which he made no objection.
A destructive fire broke out in the city of
Charleston, S. C. on the morning of June
6th. It commenced at half past 12 o'clock,
and spread with great fury in every three
tin, tier about nine hours. Four entire
squares were laid in ruins. The number of
dwellirly•houses and stores destroyed, has
been estimated at 282, including out•build
ings 374. The tire is attributed to an in
cendiary. The loss of property is immense.
A MAN GONE OVER NIAGARA FALLS.--
Two men, who were attempting a few days
since to pass from Grand Island to the Cana
& shore, were forced into the rapids near
the great cataract, and they both jumped out
of the bout. One of theM was rescued 'by
the people on the shore, but the other, a Mr.
Braily, was hurried over the falls and was
seen uo more.
A MEniTortiors Fu NOTI ONA v.—The
Journal of Commerce states that a gentle
man incidentally mentioned a fact to the edi
tors a day or two since,with which we were
very much gratified, viz: that every Sab
bath, the Attorney General of the United
States, Benjamin F. Butler, Esq. is seen at
the head ofa class in Washin , ton as a Sun
day School teacher. There are men to the
world far less distinguished than Mr. Butler,
who would think it beneath them to engage
in such a calling. But Mr. B. has learned
to put more just estimate upon the character
of the employment. There is no higher
honor than to be engaged in the service of
the King off Kings.—N. Y. Transcript.
"STRIKEsI"—A number of the different
journeymen mechanics and laborers of Phil
adelphia, have, within the last week or ten •
days, struck for a.ehange in their working
hours, and in some instances, in their wages
too. They have had numerous meetings,
processions, and a little rioting, hut not of
an unusually violent character. Their dif

the usual terms, except the allowance Of an
hour longer at dinner; others have gained
their principal object, in the reduction of
the number of working hours per day to

six in the Aeration, allowing one hour for

lowed by several master mechanics and
workmen, and it is presumed, will era long
be generally acceded to.
We wish to see both the employer and
the employed, equally dealt with, end we
should be the last to see either the one or
the other tyrannise. The journeymen must
not be looked upon as slaves, silently sub
mitting to the whims, caprices, and extor
tion of their employer=; aeither can it be
expected, that the employers will gratify
every demand, however preposterous, des•
tructiva, or dictatorial, wjmich those in their
service, may choose to prefer. They both
have their rights, and it is no more than
counnotr justice, that they should be per.
mitted to enjoy them unmolested.--Ger

As soon as the water works, now in progress,
are completed—besides the great advantage
to the citizens of a full and constant supply
of thi.4 necessary life, a new impulse will be
given to manufactures, by means of its sur
plus—capable of being thus applied. Two
new manufactories, with steam engines, are
now in progress of orection.—Batt. Put.
THE cßovs.—While the accounts from
Pennsylvania are generally of a favorable
character as to the prospects for the grow
ing crop, those from the grain-growing
counties of Virginia, are of an opposite cast.
A letter from an agriculturist of Jeflirson
county, which we observe in the National
Intelligencer of this morning, states, that
"the crop of wheat is unusually inditiirent
--indeed bad--and that few can reap half a
crop, and others not more than one third or
a fourth." The corn crops and other spring
products—though somewhat backward, are
represented as premising an abundant yield.
This is a pleasant hope, and a blessing the
more to be rimed during a lailure of the
crops of the winter grain—as if full supply
of the former will do away the principal evils
to be feared from a scarcity of the latter.{M.
HEALTH OF CINCLIVNATI.--The
lint' Gazette, of the 10th inst. represents
that city as in a state of general health; and
adds, that the premonitory symptoms of.the
cholera do not at all prevail.. 011 that
sect, the Gazette pionnses to convey correct
intelligence to its readers-, as heretofore.
The Georgia papers state that the Cher

FATAL Puntrisil.—We learn from the
Pottsville (Pa.) Journal, that a pugilistic en
counter took place in that neighborhood, a
few days since, between two miners, named
John Simons and Edward Thomas, which
resulted in the death of the former, in con
sequence of a blow inflicted on him, which
ruptured the jugular vein. Previous to this
catastrophe, which took place in the 15th
round, the deceased had knocked down his
opponent eleven times. There had been
enure difli•rence between the parties, and the
fight, which terminated thus fatally, was
*reed upon, to ascertain which was "the
better man." The survivor had been com•
initted to jail, to await his trial.
AN INCIDENT IN THE POOR HOUSE.-A
stranger (Edward Griffith, by name) being
brought into the Poor House of this county,
some time since, as a pauper in bad health,
after sotne time seemed to recover, when be
proposed to do some work if tools and uten
sils were hot for him, professing to be a Ca
binet-tnak7ir by trade. At his request
boards and tools were procured: and after
(tying some work in the House, which was
wanting, he was set to making Coffins of
different sizes as a necessary provision for
the institution. He took suddenly ill and

YDDK AND Wittnirrgvur.r: RAIL ROAD.
—Books for subscriptions to the Stock of
this Rail Road Company wore opened this
morning at Bolizilimimr',l fountain fon,nod
should the atthanit of the stock unsubscribed
be not taken sooner, they, will remain open
to•inurrow mid next.day. But we
should hardly deem such a result probable.
From ihe general Iliver in which Rail-road
stock is now hold by capitalists, and from
the strong reasons that exist for deeming I
well of this stock in particular, we should
judge that' the whole amount will have been
taken to.day. If riot, we should then incline
to think, it was for the want of true and ex-
act information, as to its probable value.
P. 8. Since writing the above we learn
that the whole amount of stock deemed ne
cessary for the completion of this road
($150,000) was subscribed within an hour
after the opening of the books. The act of
incorporation, however, requires that the
books should remain open fi,r three days as
will bo seen by reference to that document
which we publish to•day.—Patriot.
CANAL TO TIDE.—WC learn that the por
tion of stock in the Susquehanna Canal tom•
parry, which has beeu allotted to Baltimore
—say ten thousand shores, of 850 each—
was promptly subscribed yesturwv, and the
hooks were consequently closed. We may
orestune that this important work will soon
be commenced, and vigorously prosecuted
to its completion. l'here are too many in•
terests at stake, in reference to this great
improvement, to admit the supposition that
any other than necessary delays; shall be al
lowed to occur in its prosecution. ‘1 e have
all along considered this projected Canal, in
its operation upon the interests of Baltirnore,
as only second in importance to the great
line of improved communication froin this
City to the West by . the way of IL rper's
Ferry and Cumberland. They who look at
the Cull value and extent of the improvements
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, with which the
Canal to tide will bring us in connection,
can hardly be of a difil,rent opinion. Such
being in tlict the just estimate niche vast
tm
portatrce of this Canal to the commercial
interests, and by consequence to every oth
or interest of Baltimore, it may be taken for
granted, that no energy shall be wanting on
her part to push forward the work, and to
realize its advantages at the earliest period
practicable.--/bid.

AN ELOPEMENT--ALMOST!!
Quite a panic has been got up in NV
liamsport, on account ()fan attempted elope•
meat all man and respectable young lady
of that borough. Being without the range
of the mania; we hope that wo will be able
to give an impartial account of the
so. far, at least as the particulars have reach.
ed us.
About three or four months ago a Dentist
arrived in the borough of Williamsport.--
His arrival was announced by a card, pub.
lished in the papers, and we believe also edi•
torially. He gave general satisfaction .to
those with whom he had professional con
nection, and enjoyed the good will of all the
citizens of that town—with the exception.
probably, of two or throe sparks, who, per
haps, imagined that he was a professional
chin-actor, he might possibly wind himself
into, and them out of, the affections of their
Put , •:nerrs. If s:ncl , quqpinions Were enter
tained, till . . sequel proved thvi at least
"One hopele, , s toig,ht was douin.'d
To experience the sad reality."
Aller a residence of some six or eight
weeks, he took a professional tour through
some of the neighboring villages, and Ellen
returned to Williamsport, to quete the lan
guage of the Chronicle, "in a style eveiy
way befitting a gentleman." His return
was greeted with a fulsome edit9rial puff,
which we imagine the Chronicle wishes hod
been "battered," "pied," so that it could
not have appeared. But to the subject.
)t appears that he had bedtime attached to
the daughter of the gentleman with whom
he boarded, and his attachment was recipro
cated by the young lady; ble fearing that
her parents might object to their union in
consequence of the youth of the young lady,
an elopement was planned, and, in the ab
sence of the father, executed—aintost.—
They • chine to our village, stopped at the
stage-office, and seemed to feel and enjoy
happiness, in the full sense of the word.. But,
alas! the course of true• love never runs
smooth ! and this happy couple were doom
ed to be cast into the lowest depths of disap
pointment and despair, when they least ex
pected They were "dwelling in sweet an
ticipation of joys expectant;" while others,
led on probably by a rejected suitor, were
making all haste to-throw the blight of dis
appointment over their prospects. What
could be more aggravating to the Dr. than
to have his fair jewel wrested from him at
the very moment he was certain that it was
his beyond all doubt; ay, so sure was he, that
he may have addressed her, at the time, to
the fbllowing effect:
Thou art mine own;
And I as rich in having such a jewel,
Ah twenty seas, if all their sands were pearl,
The water nec-"
"M
-my God! Here's the Sheriffand con
stable! Oh, J—, I have lost you—peals
and all !"
The sherifftook the Dr. back to Williams-
port and put him in durance vile, where he
remained until the next day, when he was
released. He came back to our borough,
stayed all night, and the next morning he
started fir Lewistown, Mifflin county,where
he was when we heard of him fait.
NOT UNLIKELY.- W illiam Gwinn Jones,
who is imprisoned in our jail, for robbing, the
Baltimore Post Office, is strongly suspected
to have been the incendiary who spread such
devastation in our city during the past win
ter—of having fired the Atheneum and the
Court House. It is said, he owned stock in
the Athenwutn, and had been heard to ex
press a wish that it might. burn down, as it
little interest. He is also sus•

But the expose made by thie Count de Rig

of mending, has made the matter worse, by
stating, that as all diplomatic intercourse
between the two countries is at an end, so
the matter would rest till the United States
shall think proper to take the iniative.—
The tone of the expose, which has surprised

NEW ORLPANS, June 2
MExzco.—Through the politeness of Cap
tain Cunningham, of the schooner Sophia,
which sailed on the 22d ult. from Tampico,
we have obtained a paper from that place
of the 18th May, which contains official
intelligence of the,later triumph of Santa
Ana.
On the 11th May, early in the morning,
Santa Ana attacked in several directions,
with a force of 3100 men, the position of
Don Fransico Garcia, the revolutionary
choir, who was at the head ofsoo men, with
a large train of artillery. 4 Afteran obsti
nately contested battle, which lasted two
hours, Santa Arm obtained a signal victory,
killing and wounding hundreds, and taking
2700 prisoners. The loss on his side Was
one hundred in killed and wounded. He
states in his official report that the field of
battle offered a frightful and . heart rending
spectacle. He has completely destroyed
the hopes of the enemies of the present
Government. Their cannon, small arms,
and ammunition, are all in the power of
Santa Ana. The battle took place on the
plains of Guadaloupo, near Zacatecas, in
which latter place Santa Ana has eßahlish
ed his head.quarte'rs.
•
Gen. Parres has been sent with 500
cavalry in pursuit of those of the enemy
who escaped.

Dr. John S. Miller, Frederick town,- Md.
I do'bereby certify that I had this last
spring : sand summer , a constant pain, in my
stomach, and a great. Weakness in my kid.
noye, and pain across my eyes, for which I
used a good many remedies without giving
relief.. I was at last recommended to try a
bottle of Garlegant's Balsam of Health; pre.
pared by John S. Miller. I accordingly
made use of one bottle, which I proctired . of
his age►it in Hagerstown, which restored me
to my good health again, and am now us well,
as ever I was, and you are at liberty to
make it knoWn,foy the benefit offbeat) of

Hagerstown, Sept. 1834.
About two years ago I was severely iof..
flicted with the dyspepsia, which I had . foi
the la::t fifteen years, previous to the abeVo
named time,which was very much increased
by my having a blood vessel ruptured upon
my lungs, occasioned by lifting—Wbicli in
creasedmy complaint, dyspepsia and gener
al weakness and debility to suck a degree,
that for two years previous tO my usingthe
Garlegant Balsam I never eat a meal but
my stomach became so painful that I bad
immediately to throw it up. Seeing Garle
gant's Balsam of Health advertised, I was
induced to try a bottle; after taking the.very
first dose it appeared to strengthen my sto
mach; and every dose of the first .bottle help
ed me so much, that in the course of a few
days my stomach began to retain and digest
every thing I eat. I continued to use the
Balsam until I used Selen bottles, which
cured me - entirely, and restored me to per
16:t health, which 1 have enjoyed ever since,
and not before for fifteen years., I cheerful
ly recommend it to all persons who are al.
dieted with dyspepsia, or -debility of stom
ach. Given under my hand this 11th day
of January, 1834. •
