The Whig Speaker—Jas. Cooper.
MR. EDITOR :—A number of names I
have been suggested by both city and
country newspapers, in connection with
the Whig Speakership atarrisborg.—
They are all'the names of able men and
trustworthy Whigs, any one of whom i t
would do credit to the station and to, the
party. It is a post of high distinction and
responsibility. Permit me to add to the
list of St persons one, whose position is o
peculiar, and whose claims on the confi
dence of the Whig party will not he light
ly disregarded. I refer to JAMES COOPER,
of Adams, a man whom the city and coun
try have equal reason to respect for his
talents and public services. Mr: Cooper
was, as is well known, a /eaflingrnember
of the 27th Congress, the Congress of '42
—the TARIFF CONGRESS—the Congress ,
which fought the great battle of the Whig
party in its time of severest trial. More
than this, when treachery and disappoint- . !
man had shattered the Whigs and when
fragments of the proud array were sirng
gling about, without leaders, over a bald
of disaster, James Cooper was one of
those who not only, did not despair, but
who knew that then more than ever, was ,
the time for encouraging example. From
Congress, when he voluntarily retired, he
went into the Legislature, and there, for
the last two years, led the gallant Whig mi:
nority, himself always gallant and cheer
ful, and never for a moment desponding as
to a result. Let any one whom business
or inclination took to Harrisburg during the
sessions of 1844 and 1845, when the Whigs
were a mere handful, he asked the question,
who was the leading man,'the one whom
enemies respected and friends cenfided in,
Whose aid was most.valuable, whose elo
quence was most admired, who as a party
man was always true and as a public man
always patriotic, and he will answer it was
James Cooper. In 1844, when the ques
tion of restoring the public credit was pre-1
riented, Mr. Cooper, a representative of an
Anti-Improvement copnty, did not hesitate
to be the open champion of any measure
necessary to its restoration. On the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, he and our fel
low-Cidien, Geo. W. 'Poland, were main
ly instrumental in perfecting all that was
done. They were most active in reselling
Pennsylvania from desperate repudiation.
Surely the Whigs of Pennsylvania owe
James Cooper some return for this. A
gain in 1845, when it was determined to
tax the State stock, before in point of fact
the interest-was permanently secured, and,
wheh the principal of money loans was
unpriividetifor and overdue, James Cooper
and Charles B. Trego, (see vol. 11, Jour
nal, 1842, p. 503) as a minority of the
Committee of Finance, recorded an earn
est protest against the measure. A less
resolute man might have paused—a less
right minded one would here have doubt
-0,;14. %Nit usqe,pf.iftis.n
lett no room for hesitation, and Mr: Coop
er 'was here us ever boldly on the right
side.' It is surely some foundation for a
claim on the gratitude of Philadelphia and
her representatives, that Mr. Cooper was
thus on two trying sessions ; on questions
of principle, the friend, the fellow-laborer
of two of her purest public men. One of •
whom I need not say. (M r . Toland,) like
Mr. Cooper though it is his duty and an
honor too, after fighting for the Whi g cause
in Congress, to fight for it as faithfully in
the State Legislature.
Now that the. Whigs hare at last tri
umphed and control the Councils of the
State is the titna to remember these
things. The last Whig Speaker (1841)
was a Philadelphia Representative. The
next should be a country Whig, and none
should more cordially say so, than the
the Philadelphia Whigs.
There is a duty of gratitude in politics
as in, other relations of social life. When
the battle is fought and the victory won, it.
is not the tardy volunteer- who comes to
camp just as the enemy's flag is hauled
down. who ought to he promoted. Still
iess the lazy citizen who stays -at home.—
And.the man who deserves promotion is
the regular who had served a long term of
service, who rather than not fight at all,
.will fight and has fought in the molts, who
-was with his fellow soldiers in disaster and
retreat, when taint hearts sank and many
brave ones trembled, the faithful soldier
through whose lips no whisper of despon
dency ever passed.. IL: it is who deserves

THE NEXT GovERN, iR
Nearly every whig paper we open, has
-something to say on the question !, who

Not a few, however, are complaining bit-
Wyly of the course pursued by ihe Phila
delphia 'whip, While those in the coun
try are disposed to get a lair expression of
',opinion on this matter, their friendsht the
city are doing all to forestall public opin
ion, and trying to get those friendly to Gen.

••destructive course. Ter do so without be

Philadelphia friends to . do % justice and noth

finitely more wicked than if not enough is
said. Misrepresentation and cunning may
do for a while but it must ultimately be
exposed.
The friends of Gen. Irvin must have a
bad opinion of country w higs or they Would
never resort to such foolish shills as they
have been resorting to. For instance they
have deter mined to elect the Irvin delegates
in the Irvin counties as early as possible,
either for the purpose of influencing the
other counties, or because they think they
may lose some by proerastination. If the
hider is the reason for the early campaign,
somethiinr may be accomplished, but if in
fluence is their object, they know little
about whiggery. Whigs think and act for
themselves, and when convinced they will
not change their course because the tide
goes different. The whips of York coun

eliquestcrs are desirous of a certain man,

thrown from his horse while descending one of the
steep hills in the neighborhood of Monterey, and
the horse falling upon him, he was so badly inju
red as to survive but a short time. When - picked
up, the brains were oozing out ofhis ears. He was
buried on the 28th ult. with thehonors of war, and
lamcntedby the whole Army. Capt. Ridglcy sue
cectled to •the command of the famous Flying Ar
tillery uprin the death of Rhiggold, and had endcar

LocoroColsm and the Taritiof4l6.
J We make the annexed brief extract from
an article in the New York Globe, giving instruc
tions to the Locotoco editors throughout the U
nion as to the position they are to assume - in re
gard to :he r British Tariff of 1S bd. The Glshe
thinks that the 11CW Tariff' is not quite rase-
Trt.tos enough in its features, but thinks it best
that Locolocoism should rally to its support un
til the party shall have become strong enough to
make it "still more democratic." As the whole
article has been copied and endorsed by our neigh.
her of the "Compiler," we copy it for the benefit
of our reilers, a; W:2:1 as for the "Tariff Demo
crats," who, a few days previous to the late elec
tion, were promised by this same organ, that if
they remained faithful in their party allegiance,
the new Tariff would be so modified as to protect
Peun.-ylvapia interestsl It will not be long be
foie these same editors will 'deny that they ever
favored the British Taridof 18It3 :
"The Democratic party must rally in
a favor of the Tariff of '46, its ad valorem
features, and oppose a restoration of that
of '42, with its minimum system of du
' ties, or rather maximum system of plun
der. No fear of the present national ad
, ministration ; it will sink or . swim with
the Tar& of '42." Our own peculiar
notions respecting a correct principle of
taxation would lead us to wipe out the
the whole system of tariff taxation, but
such is not the popular doctrine of our
party at this era of our national existance.
What are we to do then ? In demand
ing too much we are in danger of loosing
, all. If Federalism succeeds in 1818, a
, restoration of the tariff of '42 will be sure
to follow. If Democracy succeeds, the
tarif of '46, with such modifications as
, the exigencies of the Treasury may de
mand, will be sustained. It is to the De
, mocratic party that we look for the final
accomplishment of a just system of tax
ation."
The War & its °Weis.
Whiltt the paiusit C. 5. of the present Adininittra
tion in charge of the Northern Locofoco papers,
are zealously defending the War with i‘lesko as
one undertalien in behalf of the National honor. the
Southern branch of the same school advocate it as
a War waged for the promotion and permanent eF.
tahlishment of :7,lavery and Southern ,interests.—
Witness the following from a late number of the
CharledomCourier :
"Resides, evert• battle fought in Mexico,
and every dollar spent there, but ensures
the acquisition of territory which must
widen the field of Southern enterprise. and
power iodic future. And the final result
will be to readjust the whole balance of
power in the _confederacy - , ro as to give its
control over the operations of the Govern
ment in all time to conic. If' the South

pression is gone, and gone forever."
Surgical Operation by Dr. Gilbert
nary Surgical operation lately performed by our
townsinA, Dr. D. GI Lit suT, upon Mr. AnONSEL
LER, State Senator from Union county. The ope
ration, which, we uni!erstand, was performed in the
presence of a nutriber of the most distinguished
Surgeons in the City, was entirely successful.—
The U. States Gazette thus notices it:
SENATOR WAGONSELLER.—On Saturday
last, at the Merchants' Hotel, Judge Wag
onseller, of Union county, (Pa.) underwent
one of the most severe and dangerous ope
rations known to surgery. He had been
suffering from an enormous tumor upon
his left shoulder, which was rapidly de
stroying his vital pnwers.• The operation
was performed by Dr. D. Gilbert, Profes
sor or Surgery in Pennsylvania Medical
College, and consisted in the removal of
the entire arm and shoulder, including one-'
third of the collar bone, and a large por
tion of the shoulder blade. We are glad
to learn that the patient is doing well, and
that by tkis unparalleled surgical operation,
his valuable life will not only be saved, but
that it is probable, he will be able to at
tend to his duties as the Representative
of hiedistrict, at the ensuing session of our
State Legislature.
illness of Mr. Adams.
The Bos on. Advertiser ,of Friday last says:
"The pi ne wid be pained to learn that the vene
rable JOHN QUINCX ADAMS was yesterday fore
noon seized with a paralysis of his left side which
for a time rendered him nearly insensible. He
had kist left the residence of his son, the Hon.
CHARLES F. ADAMS, in Mount : Vernon street, in a
state of health, when the gentleman with whom
he was walking suddenly perceived that he was la•
boring under some severe affection of his limbs,
ar,d y.cas obliged to assist him to prevent his fal-.

and reeeived immediate medical aid. After a
short time his consciousness returned, and he was

immediate danger. Mr. Adams is, we believe. a

he has hitherto been able, from the vigor of his

rfLater accounts from Boston furnish the

Il=7An esteemed friend connected with the Ar

letter from headquarters, which, though not as late
as advtces since recei'ved,will be read with interest,
as embracing the observations of a gentleman
lately resident in our midst. It will be seen that
he designs to communicate with us from time, as
events of interest in the conduct'of the War may
transpire. The dh , criminating judgment of our
correspondent, and the facilities for acquiring an
authentic knowledge of matters and things con
nected with the army, furnished by his official

MY DEAR FRIEND :- . lloly would you
like to have a Post Office which you could
only visit once a week with the expectation
of getting any thing, instead of daily, -as
you are in the habit of doing, and then be
disappointed twice out of three times
Methinks, it would make you feel decicled
ly bad, and cause you to think, that both
relatives and friends had forsaken you !
But perhaps I may get some letters by
way of the City of Mexico, as Gen. Am
pudia was smart enough to intercept one
of our expresses, whilst the fight was go
ing on.
My attachments are strong for Gettys
burg ; for in it I have spent the most pro
fitable, as well as the most happy period of
my life. Highly do I value those who in
structed me in class, and who, likewise,
never failed to impart to me good advice,
on all occasions. May their lives be pro
longed for many years, and may they have
the pleasure of seeing a great amount of
good resulting from their incessant labors.
Knowing that you all feel a deep inter
est in matters that are going on here, I am
happy that my position with the army is
so favorable as to enable me to place in
your hands, from time to time, such infor
mation relative to the operations of the ar

I must here make a few remarks about
the Texan Bangers. I have never seen a
more able hody of men than they are.—
They arc all expert horsemen, and well
mounted. It is proverbial here, that they
would sooner fight than cat ; and at any
time they' will leave . their meals to volun
teer on forlorn hope occasions. In for
warding the objects.of the campaign, they
render valuable service, being nearly con
stantly in the saddle, and prompt in execu

Mr DEAR Fru Exn—lt is with much regret that
I communicate to you the painful intelligence of the
accidental death of Capt. Randolph Ridgley. of the
Light Artillery, who, whilst riding at it moderate
gait, anctin the act of turning a corner in the City
of Monterey, had his horse to fall with him. The
concussion occasioned by the fall, was so great as to
throw him into a state of insensibility, from which
he never recovered—his life ebbing out about one
o'clock on the morning of the 2Sth ult. without a
struggle. How truly the scriptural saying that "in
the midst of life we are. in death," has been verified
in the death of this gallant officer ! Capt. Ridgley
acted a conspicuous part on the eventful days of the
Bth and 9th of May, and also at the capture of
Monterey, Throughout all those days he was
much exposed to the galling tire of the enemy, but
remained untouched.
By the last advices from Camargo we learn that
the Rio Grande is becoming very low—so much so
as to be navigated with much difficulty as high as
Camargo with only half frights. To obviate. this
difficulty in throwing up supplies to this important
depot, upon which hang nearly all our hopes in the
interior, hereafter a-the larger boats will ascend
part of the distance from the mouth of the river, anti
there be met by the smaller ones from above.
Trains, consisting of front 50 to 120 wagons, are
kept constantly in motion from Camargo to Monte
rey. 500,000 rations have been ordered to be pla
ced in depot here. This looking ahead is to meet
what is expected to follow the expiration of the
trace, (which terminates on the 28th inst.) n re
commencement of hostilities, and an onward move
ment towards Tampico.
Some of the knowing-ones here appear to think
that such a movement should not be undertaken
with less than 25,000 men. The past we know,
the future we have yet to learn. At nll events it
would be best to have more than a sufficiency than
too few. The most successful armies have met
with their reverses, as the history of all nations ful
ly prove. And no doubt it would be well for our
Republic, now intoxicated with the success of her
arms, to provide against the possibility of disaster.
a 000 paclimiules were employed a few days ago
to transport supplies for the Army from Camargo to
Monterey. A mule will carry 300 pounds with
comparative ease, which is called a Cargo. One
Mexican will take care of six mules packed in this
way,'whilst it requires an American, with all his
attention, to manage one. The number of pack
mules owned by one party is called an Ainhor, and
may be from 25 to 100 ; if the latter the whole num
ber is divided into 4 or 5 parts; each part so divi
ded is preeZded by a Fell man, and each pack mule
will follow its particular leader, as a well-trained
dog follows his master.
A laughable anecdote is related of one of the
mounted Rangers, who, having exposed himself on
the day of the arrival of Gen. Taylor's Army in the
vicinity of Monterey, was taken prisoner by the en
emy. Upon being carried beforo Gen. Amrudia
and his Staff, many questions were hastily submit
ted to the Ranger, arid amongst them the following :
"What did Gen. Taylor's troops think of the pro
eLlairrtion issued by Me (Gen: A inpudia) and cir
culated by my agents in hiscarap ? Thu Ranger
replied that the' commotoopinion entertained by
Gen, Taylor's troops was. "that the Illeican Gen
cral was decidedly grer»." , Not beitiz, able to get

liTT—The adviccs from the Gulf Squad
ron via NeW Orleans arc to the 17th
and announce the success of the expedi
dition against Tobtisco under Coin.. Perry.
Tobasco is a Mexican town on one of the
Rivers anil about 22 Miles from the Gulf.
'Cho object of the expedition was to cut
out certain vessels anchored in the river, in
which ('um. Perry was entirely success
ful. having taken 1 brig, 5 schooners, 1
sloop, 2 steamers and several small crafts.
The expedition was composed Of 7 small.
steamers and cutters, with about '2OO sea
men and marines from the Raritan & Cum
berland. 'Phis force arrived off 'l'obasco
on the 25th ult., took a position within
ISO yards of the shore, and summoned the
town to surrender. The Governor refu
sing. a bombardment was immediately
commenced, which continued at intervals
until the next day, doing - much damage to
the town, when a white flag was shown
by the inhabitants asking Com. Perry to
spare the town, which out ,of feelings of
humanity was acceded to. The inhabi
'tants could not leave, as the Governor
would not permit them. Lieut. Mounts
was the only American killed ill the affair,
having been wounded in hit boat while in
the act of elreering on his men. Tobacco
\vas defended by 350 troops. with 4 pieces
of cannon, besides a number of armed pens
ants. Loss not ascertained. Having ac
complished the main object of the expedi
fr;••••, aka [ureic returned to the
Gull with the prizes.
From Mexico.
Official information hail been received
at the city of Mexico on the 20th ult. from
San Luis Potosi, where Santa Anna had
taken up his headquarters, and was concen
trating his forces. It was announced that
he had about 90,000 men with him, and
had ordered the entire Mexican forces to
meet him there, with a view of marching
upon Gen, Taylor; and crushing the Amer
ican army. He had decided on abandoning
Tampico, without making any resistance;
since lie has not a disposable force, swill— ,
ciently numerous, to garrison it at all points,
at,oby evacuating it, he shall strengthen
his own army and weaken Gen. Taylor's,
who will be obliged to detach a conside
rably body of troops to take possession of
it and hold it.
It is also said that Letters of Marque a
gainst American Commerce had been is
sued by the Mexican Government.
Gen. Scolt iii the Field
hear, (says the U. S. Gazette
of Wednesday) from Washington a very
important and well founded rumor, viz :
that the command of the U. S. Army in.
Mexico is to be given to Gen. SCOTT.—
Why this is to be, we do not hear.—
Whether it is to shift the responsibility, or
to strengthen the army, is not asserted—
possibly both. The adniinistration, of
course, feels that it is losing ail by the
Mexican war ; and NOW it admits that Gen.
Scott was right in all the positions he as
sumed
‘,
at the comMenceinent. lr ,
.may
therefore, suppose that the man who, last
spring; could see all the difficulties of the
contest, and :discern the true time for ac
tion, ought to direct the movements of the
army and share the responsibility of action..
LATER.—There seems to be no doubt!
that the command of the Army of inva- ;
sion has been assigned to Gen. SCOTT.—
lie passed through Philadelphia with his.
suite on Wednesday morning for. New
York, where he was to take passage in a
steamer for Charleston. From thence to.
proceed direct , to Tampico, upon which
place advices from Washington say that a
klemohstration is to be made. Our corres—
pondent at Monterey writing under date of
Nov. 3, speaks of the movement against
Tampico as being no longer in doubt.
The appointment of Gen.. Scott, it is, un—
derstood, was induced by late intelligence
received by the government from the Ar,
my and Mexico.
It is said that COM. STEWART, ("Ohl
Ironsides") will be sent to the Gulf to.
manage the naval-operations.

POWDER MILL EXDLOSION.,—OR Mon
day morning between 10 and 11 o'clock,
the Belona Powder' Works of Mr: JAMES
the
about 6 miles from Baltimore on
Baltimore and Susquehana Railroad,
were completely demolished by an eXplo
sion killing-ae of the workmen. There
Were about two tons of powder in the
at the time. The explosion was distinct
ly heard in Baltimore, the concussion
shaking the houses all over the city. As
all who were in the Mills met with instant
death, the cause of the accident must
left to conjecture. •
0-At Pittsburg on Friday afternoon
last, an explosion took place in the foundry
of Messrs. Alger and Holland, which re
sulted most calamitously. The boiler
bursted, killing Mr. Holland and a Mr.
M'Clory, tearing ofr both their heads, and
severely wounding two or three others.—
The hotise was reduced to a mass of ruins.
FATAL AectnENT.—On Thursday last
as some young men living near Frystown,
were returning home from gunning, an ac
cident occurred which has proved fatal to
one of the
.:iompany. It seemus that all
had fired. their guns, as they were nearing
Home, but IsAnc Moniusopi, concluded to
reload, lest he might see sumac game while
unprepared, and alter having loaded, and
was about letting the cock of the gun upon
the eap=just as Wri-mAm ZIMMERMAN was
passing the muzzle—it slipped ow his
thumb, and the whole load entered the side
of Mr. Zimmerman. lle lingered until
Saturday night when he died—aged about
1 23 years.— York !idvoew'e.

TO TIIE LADIES
Headache a n d Nervous Complaints are
a source of much sullering ; and the ner
vous arc singularly prone to have their
functions disordered by an oppressed con
dition of the stomach. To relieve a state
of so much distress, (in which both mind
body participate) Dr. Smith's Sugar Coat
ed Indian Vegetable Pills arc highly recom
mended, as, by aromatic, tonic, and aper
ient properties, they remove all oppressive
accumulations, strengthen the stomach,
induce a healthy appetite, and impart, tran
qoility to the nervous system. They al
so cure dyspepsia, coughs and colds, and
bilious complaints.

BRA N DRETH's . JILLS RE LIABLE.
Let no one suppose that the Brandreth
Pills are not always the same. They are.
,They can never be otherwise. The prin
ciples upon which they are made are so
unerring, tliat a million pounds could be
nude Der day without the most remote
possibility , of a mistake occurring. Get
the genuine, that is all, and. the medicine
will give you full satisfaction.
When the blood is in an unsound-condi
tion, it is as ready for infection as land
ploughed and harrowed to receive the al
lotted grain. Those who are wise, will
therefore commence the purification of
their blood without delay ; and those who
are already attacked- with sickness should
do the same.
Ladies should use Brandreth's Pills fre
quently. They will ensure them from
severe sickness of the stomach, and, gene
rally speaking, prevent it. Brandreth's
Pills are harmless. They increase the
powers of life ; they do not depress them.
Females will find. them to secure that state
of health which every mother wishes to
enjoy. In costiveness, so often prevalent
at an interesting period, Brandreth's Pills
are a safe and effectual remedy.
There is no medicine so safe as this; it
is more easy than castor oil, and is now
generally used by numerous ladieS through
their confinement. Dr. Brandreth can re
fer to many of our first physicians who re
commend his pills to their patients, to the
esclnsion of all other pprgativas, and the
pills, being composed entirely of herbs or
vegetable matter, purify the blood, and car
ry the corrupt humors of the body, in
a manner so simple as to give every day
ease and pleasure.

To the lonoroth the Judges of the court

rfm.9 COUlay.
The Grand Jury of the'November Ses . -
sions of 1846 beg leave to report, that of- -
ter examining the last Report of the. Grand
Inquest of the County, the present, Grand
Inquest feel much regret in not being Alm
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 ease at the present time,
and the present Grand Inquest is compell
ed, from an imperious duty, to say that, 4d-. •
ams County appears to be retrograe in
the march' of 'morals, and has since the
aforesaid last Report of the Grand Jury,
11111nn far behind the age of morality which
should be her motto, or which should
her as one of the most enlighten
;led among her sister counties. This We
arc 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, hale been crowded with •
Sessions cases, which are a 'disgrace to
our morals and a foul blot on our cornrou
; nity, and our calandar of prisoners has
much multiplied since that Report. To
what
. this bad state of affairs can he 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 eitSzens,
to assist in finding out the causes which
thus exist among us, and by every means
lin our power to endeavor to root out the
cancerous epidemic from among our peo
ple.
The Grand Inquest beg further to say
that they have visited the County Prison
and the County, Almshouse, and that they
have found every thing in most ample 4:tr
ier and repair ; that the Sheriff of the
County, as well as the steward of the Alms
house, are entitled to much credit for the
condition ii which their respective HouseS
are kept. •
The Grand Inquest having no other sub
ject to present to thd Honorable Court, re
spectfully ask to be discharged, &c.
