The Court.
The present week being Court. our town was
enlivened by the presence of a large number of
persons from various tectmns of the county inter

eases bare been more numerous than usual, and it is
probable that the Court will s,t through the entire
week. In our next number, we shall as usual fur

have been tried.

On Monday last, the motion for a new trial in
the case of the Commonwealth vs. Thomas Fm

at the August term on the charge of kidnapping
a family of free colored persons from this count
was argued by .1. ltsrn, Yeq., for the Prisoner
and by .Alessrs Cuoran & Dauxr.e for the- Com

(From the Philadelphia Sun of Monday lust.)
Intrigues . for 'the Next 'Governor.
The Whig papers of this city inform us
thaf on to-morrow are to be chosen dele
gates from the city and county of Philadel:
phia,•to a State Convention. to nominate
for the Whig party, a candidate for gover-'
nor. In proof of how little the people have
to do in selecting their candidates, (and
the bare notninatiou in a successful party
is equivalent to an election,) we think prop
er briefly to state a few facts. We do this,
also, because we would, at once, chronicle
the beginning of a movement that is to de
velope itself in the future, and to afford a
ray of light fir the eyes of those whom the
movers would blind and dupe.
The members of the conventions about
to select the delegates referred to were cho
sen months ago, for another purpose, that
of selecting a Whig ticket to be voted for
at the last election, and not for the purpose
of selecting delegates to a State Conven
tion. The trust reposed in them has been
executed, and their delegated powers are
at an end. Yet these are the men, as it
appears by the newspapers, who are to se
lect the gubernatorial delegates. But pas
slag this by, let us proceed to state what
does not appear by the newspapers, but
what nevertheless is a fact. Let us refer
to an authority potential in this matter, not
of the convention, not of the pcopte, but
exercised in derogation of the rights of
both. In the latter part of last week there
was a caucus held at a whig gentleman's
house in the city of Philadelphia, where
there were a few selfish, artful and unscru
pitons politicians who are united in the
design to rule Pennsylvania. They have
selected as their candidate for Governor
one with whom they are in constant asso
ciation, and over whom they believe they
can exercise unhomilled control. At their
caucus they decided that such delegates•
only should be sent from the city and
county of„Philadelphia, as were favorable
to theiPeandidate. They wentlytstep far
ther. They named and selected the dele
gates, and they and their agents have since
been busily engaged in moulding to their!
purpose the minds of the members of fuel
the conventions which are to assemble to
morrow, and preparing them for the igno- .
rant adoption of their caucus nominees.
They have succeeded ; and when the eon
venitons Meet the caucus selections will
be chosen. In truth, the delegates are al
ready selected, and neither the people nor
the selecting body have had or will have
any more real agency in making the selec
tions than the, people of Ohio. Nor is e-1
ven this all, the sante caucus gentlenien, l
from a centre here in the city of Philadel
phia. have been attempting to arrange, in
the same way and for the same purpose.
delegations from most of the other coun
ties in the State. At the same time they
are so industriously- engaged in weaving
and spreading the meshes for their own
partizans. they are trprvellonsly anxious
to ingratiate their candidate in the good
will of the Native Americans, and nothing
is left undone that may be supposed fitted
to conciliate them. It is for the Native
Americans more particularly that we
chronicle these few facts and expose the
wily movements of as selfish a plique of,
politicians as ever did mischief.
Here then is the beginning of the move
ment to which we have referred. We ask
the movers whether it is not possible that
the development may he unanswerable to
their wishes ? and whether it is nut proba
ble that nature's laws will notbe suspended
for their private benefit and that the fruit
they shall reap will correspoird, in kind
and character, with the seed they are sow
ing
Of the above movement and its object, we had
been advised for a week or two, from a reliable pri
vato source. We were informed that Gen. Invix
had gone to Philadelphia and remained there ; that
em:cuscs had been held ; plans adopted to carry the
city and county; agents sent to different parts of
the State to electioneer for the CITY CANDIDATE; .
but we did not know, nor did we believe that every
principle of flumes.% was to he repudiated in select
ing delegates to the Convehtion. We never dream
ed that the old convention, called for the purpose,
and , the SOLE runeosE, of selecting candidates to
be voted for at the late election, were to be drilled
for months, and then called together to perform
another and entirely different duty—one which they
were not appointed to perform, and which they have
no right to execute.
We would advise the gentlemen engaged in this
intrigue to nominate Gen Inv rx, that the course
they are pursuing may inevitably defeat his elec
tion, should he be the candidate. The country
may sometimes submit to be imposed on by the
manceuvering and intrigues of the artful and do
signing politicians of the city ; but when their in
trigues aim at iujustice as gross as that now con
templated, the country pill rise up in its own vin
dication and teach both the intriguers and the ob
ject of their intrigues, that it will not be cheated.—
We spdak thus strongly because we believe a
wrong is about beingsonsummated in the suppres
sion of the popular voice, which cannot fail to prove
disastrous to the prospects of the Whig party.
(0 - Since the above was in type, we have ob
served an able article in the Uniontown Demo
crat upon the gubernatorial miestiorp, from which
we make the following extract. The Democrat is
friendly to the re-nomination of Gen. MARKLE, and
is reviewing the exceptionable articles that have
lately appeared in one or two presses devoted to
the interests of Gen. !arm, to which we took oc
casion to refer a week or two since :
“The Philadelphia North American,one
of whose editors was a member of the con
vention that nominated Gen. 'Markle, and
then
. supported Gen. Irvin, asserts that the
majority of the Whig party are now in fa
vor of the latter. If that be true we need
no State Convention—no passing upon the
subject by the people. The politivianiof
Philadelphia have settled the question.
The Hareisburg Intelligencer, too, has
asserted. lately that Gen. Irvin was the
strongest candidate in The Convention of
1814. 'est?, why. was he not.nothipated ?
Because, says the in tell igeneer, "a bargain',
was consummated” immediately before
the final vote nominating Markle. The
writer of this article was a member of that
Convention, and was in the midst of the
members in the conversation immediately
preceding the fin•il vote, and he asserts
without hesitation that the, charge is :til
-1 qualifiedly false, and no member of the
Convention, present on the occasion, will
;venture to hint at, or affirm its truth. We
caution our friends at the commercial and
political metropolis of the State, who have
assumed to dictate to the country part of
the State, and have not - ceased, for four
years, "in season and out of sea'son." to
try 'to electioneer their candidate into pub
lic favor, that a nomination obtained by,
such means., emanating from such sources,!
may fail to deserve and receive a coldial
support after it shall have been made.
Now we assert that Cen. Irvin never
was the choice of a majority of the Whig
party, and never will be, if it can proved
or produced only by charges of bargain
and corruption against tho,,e who did not
prefer hitt,. - If the first balloting in the
Convention of 1844 did not show Gen.
Markle to be the choice of the majority,
the final result and all the previous ballot
tings showed clearly that a majority was
opposed to Gen. Irvin. And more and
better, a majority of the whole Conven
tion—the first choice of a few being out of
the question—preferred Gen. Markle to .
Gen. Irvin. From the friends of Judge
Banks and Mr. Cooper, our old friend
Gen. Markle has received nothing but
kind, candid and fair treatment—nothing
except that which was due from honorable
rivals in afair contest, for a post of honor.
The friends of Judge Banks owed nothing,
to those who commenced and carried out,
a war which was intended to thrust aside!
their favorite, as is is now sought to de
done' by the same persons against Gen.l
Markle."
The Elections.
'The Result of the recent Elections as announced
last week have, in the main, been consumed by
later intelligence.

ment comes leaves -bur little, room to doubt.
Gun Cotton.
In another column will be found an account of
this remarkable invention, which bids fair to super
sede the use of gun powder. Experiments have
been made at Washington city in the presence of
Gen. Scott, Presidenr Polk, and others, which re-
Rifted very satisfactorily. Prof OTTO thus explains
the mode of preparing the gun cottbn : ,
To convert a hale of cotton into a cannister of
the best glazed double-battle Dupont, he distills ten
parts of salt-peter with six parts of sulphuric acid,
dips the cotton for half a minute into the acid thus
obtained, then washes it well in clean water, dries
it and makes it into cartridges. The following is
the chemical explanation of this: Cotton is lig
neousfibre in extreme subdivision, and ligneous fibre
is carbon or wood: Hence a hale of cotton and a
load of hickory arc somewhat analogous. Dipped
in Professor Otto's "unis nnortr," it becomes sa
turated with nitric acid, which consists of two parts
of nitrogen and five of oxygen. It the com
bination of carbon and oxygen, or f n fee;
.for on being brought in contact with fire, the
car
bon is kindled and the oxygen that sustains the
combustion is immediately liberated in the expan
sive gaseous form, many times exceeding in vol
ume the substance burned, and - by this sudden ga-
seous expansion, producing the explosive force.

More Volunteers.
The Government has at length been comrelled
to respond to the call rite by the Press all over
the country, to re-inforce the army on the Rio
Grande. The Washington Union states that r •
quisitions have been sent out from the War De
partment, calling into the service of the U. States
nine additional regiments of volunteers to serve
during the war. with Mexico, unless sooner dis
charged. They are asked for from the following
States:
- One Regitnent of Infantry from Penn
s.tilvania ; one from Massachusetts
.; one
from New York ; one from Virginia ; one
from North Carolina ; one . from South
Carolina ; one from Louisiana ; one from
Mississippi ; and one regiment of mounted
men front Texas.
This call incontestably proves the vaccinating
policy of the Administration, and shows that the
! m a nagers of this War have gotten themselves into
. •
uithcuity from which they know not how to es
cape. It was but last week that we published a
letter from the Secretary of War announcing that
No additional troops would be called out, together
with an extract from the President's official organ
intimating that offensive operations would be a
bandoned until after the meeting of Congress. We
are pleased, however, to find the Administration
moving in the matter even at this !ate hour. The
war has justly been denounced as unnecessary and
wrong in its incipiency, and they through whose
agency the country became involved in it, will be
held responsible for the blood and treasure lost in
the waging of ii ; but now that hostilities have been
commenced, there can be but one line of duty, and
that is to prosecute the War to a speedy and hon
orable issue. The cause of public morals, the
interests of the country, religion, right, and justice
suffer an irreparable injury every hour of its con
tinuance, and every good citizen must long to see
it closed. If the Government design prosecuting
the War, let it be done with energy, and let our
ins-ailing army be reinlorced and well supplied
with the material necessary to enable them to op.
erate to advantage. Had General Scwr-r's re-
commendation, not to commence operations un
til a fbrce of at least 3U,10;) men were collect
ed on the frontier, been heeded by the sage ru
lers into whose hands the ruins of Government
have unhappily fallen, much of th;: , delay and Ims
already sustamed by marching ; o handful of men
into the midst of a hostile tern tory and Com Fell im!
them to sustain an unequal contest with a superi
or lure°, might have heen avoided. The policy
of the Admini,tration in regard to our gallant and
brave little army has been wrong—it has been
cruel. The country will hail with joy . the evi ,
deuce of a change of policy ,which this call for ad.
ditionul troops seems to indicate.

Gen. Scott and the Mexican War.
ID -- "The Ilero of Chippewa," says the North
American, "continues devoted to the duties of the
War Department at Washington. All the ener
gie,t of his vigorous intellect, great experience .
and unsurpassed skill are directed to the enforce
ment of the operations in Mexico; and it is said
that the administration itself admits the invaluab:e
advantages derived from his aid and counsel. Re
membering the circumstances NliliCh c sin him at
the seat of Government, when his heart pants to
lead on his own columns to victory, this cordial
and earnest co-operation of Gen. Scott with the
administration that thus hamFers and hedges him
in, is inagnanimous and patriotic almost beyond
the marvels or ancient story It is Sampson in
chains grinding corn for his oppressors. He
makes the path straight tor others to win the vic•
tories Which he decemed his right by rank, and
by every claim of former glory and presentmerit.
He sorts what others reap; and feeds the flame of
a glory not a beam of which is permitted to midi
him. Yet this government Exile from the battle

fice is for his country.
We cannot regard the melancholy but devoted
Veteran and patriot without mingled Ice lings of t
pride and melancholy. Let his enemies beware!
There is an eloquence in the silence of this chain
ed eagle, who wears out his heart against the
chain which keeps him 'from the field of glory,
which appeals, and not in vain, to the sympathies
of a generous people. If, as the facts have proven,
Gen. Scott was iight—the injustice done him has
scarcely a parallel in history. If he Was in error,
his punishment is most disproportionate and crtiel.
The people of the country cannot forget the gln.
-ries of his past life nor regard, without deep teel
ings of sorrow, the rigorous executive decree
'which, prompted by an un orthy jealousy shuts
him out from a share of the fame so richly won
by his inferiors. We vs ould not be surprised if,
after the meeting of Congress, the facts of this case
were so presented to the country, as to excite, far
and wide, a reaction in Jikvor of the Hero. There
is no partizan so unjust as to regard such penal.

bard so large an amount of money to.the
sea coast, in the present state of afrairs.—
lie gave receipts for the money and individ

known of his plan of operations. In his
proclamation issued after his arrival at Po

style, hiS intemien to drive back the Inva
ders of his country. TIT Mexican ac
counts of the battle of Monterey arc nu
merous. They claim clinch credit for the
gallantry of their own troops, and as a
necessity speak in high terms of the valor
of our men. Gen. Worth's operations are
particularly referred to as being very.bril

It!tack on Alvarado.
it,L=7.,The New Orleans papers of the
16;11 inst. contain the particulars of anoth
er abortive attack on Alvarado, by the
Gulltiluadron under Corn. Conner. The
war steamers, Mississippi, Vixen, and
AFLane, and several Cutters and Bchoon
. ers, were used in the attack, but after ap
proaching within Italia mile of the Forti
fications, about one third of the force was
rendered useless for the attack in conse
quence of the shoals and bars, and Com.
Conner deemed it prudent to retire under
a sharp tiring from the enemy's batteries.
All concerned in the expedition were much
chagrined at its failure, mid it was thought
that another, and more successful, demon

in Camden, giving the particulars of the

That, we should say, was rather a new
mode of capturing an enemy's town."

GR.I.I7IJURP REPORT
Grand Jury Room.
Nov. IS. 1546. S
To the Honorable the Judges of the Couel
of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of :M
-ums Cowan,,.
The Grand Jury of the November Ses
sions of 184(3 beg leave to report, that af
ter examining the last Report of the Grand
Inquest of the County, the present Grand
Inquest feel much regret in not being able
to say "that not a single case has been pre
sented to them of a criminal character," or
"that our County Jail is tenantless."—
This is not the case at the present time,
and the present Grand Inquest is compell
ed, from an imperious duty, to gay that Ad
ams County appears to be retrograde in
the march of morals, and has since the
aforesaid last Report of the Grand Jury,
fallen far behind the age of morality which
should be her motto, or 'which should dis
tinguish her as one of the mostseulighten
ed among her sister counties. This we
are bound to confess as' honest and truth
telling citizens : and as men sworn to do
their duty ; and this we confess in all sor
row and regret. Our Courts, since the
Report spoken of, liarbeen crowded with
Sessions cases, which are a disgrace to
our morals and a foul blot on our commu
ity, and our calandar of prisoners has
much multiplied since that Report. To
what this bad state of affairs Call° be impu
ted, is not left to us to determine ; but that
there is something rotten among us is not •
to be denied ; and it not only becomes us,
but also the Court and all moral citizens,
to assist in finding out the causes w h ich
thus exist among us, aud by every means
in our power to endeavor to root out the
cancerous epidemic from among our peo-
ple
The Grand Inquest beg further to Fay
that they have visited the County Prison
and the County Almshouse, and that they
have found every thing in most ample or
t er and repair ; that the Sheriff of the
Counts•, as well as the steward of the Alms
house, are entitled to much credit for the
condition in which their respective Houses
arc kept.
The Grand Inquest having no other sub
ject to present to the Honorable Court, re
spectfully ask to he discharged, &c.
