GETTYSBURG:
Friday Evening, Feb. 19, 1847.
County Temperance Convention.
The Adams County Temperance Con,
x'ention will assemble in the English Lutheran
Church in this place on Monday next, nt 10 o'-
clock. The public are invited to attend the sessions
of the Convention, and it is hoped that the LA nt
will not forget that they arc included in the invita
tion.
The Annual Address will be delivered by Prof.
M. L. STmvr.n, nt It o'clock. We understand
that the speaker has, by request, selected his theme
with a view to the day on which the Convention
meets.
IcrThe intelligence of the distress in
Ireland has aroused a deep feeling of sympathy o
ver the whole Union, and the entire country pre
sents the beautiful spectacle of a great nation mo
ving as by one impulse for the relief of a distant
and suffering people. Every city, and town, and
village are pouring in their contributions, while
the various charitable and beneficial Associations
give freely and liberally. A very large sum will
no doubt be realized. In New York city alone,
the contributions amounted to upwards of $20,000.
Vessels aro daily leaving the whares ofu the larger
cities, laden with bread-stuffs and provisions, to
stay the work of disease, misery, and death in unhap
py Ireland. Heaven speed them on their way.
ilizr.Various matters seem to indicate an
early and vigorous Whack on the castle at Vera
Cruz. The Washington Tinian has the following
paragraph—" One achievement at least, is yet to be
accomplished, which every chivalrous and patriotic
American demands to be effected, before we go
out of this war. Shall we, then, waste this pre
cious time in passionate wrangling and idle debate!?
11!1!IMIE!
Iloo.Resolutions front the different nor
thern Legislatures protesting against the admis

are beginning to have their:effect in Congress.
The Administration is now becoming uneasy, lest
the South, in order to avoid the issue that
is threatened to be made, will unite with the
North against thoaimissin» of ANT new territo
ry, thus frustrating the object of the war !

r -- -. The House of Represeßtatives of
this state, on Saturday last, by a unanimous vote,
passed a bill repealing the charter of the Lehigh
County Bank. Be careful of its Notes.
What's the Reason 1
The Locofoco leaders have all at once
dropped the attack on General Taylor, and are now
,as mute on the subject as tho Ugh an issue hail nev

lishes a communication by "a Whig from the skirt,"
giving a list of the appointments to the Whig State
Convention, and concluding with the following re
capitulation :

Cooper

Disputed 4
Of the uninstructed Delegates, 26 arc known to
be in favor of Cooper. So also are those instructed
for Forward, ➢tickler, and Stewart. The relative
strength of Cooper and Irvin thus fur is, therefore, as

Disputed 4
Of those yet to be appointed, Cooper is certain to
have 16, which will give him a majority of 7 in ,
the Convention, in case the 4 disputed delegates
are not admitted ; and in case the disputed delegates
are admitted, the majority will he the same, those
entitled to their seats being in favor of the nomina
tion of Cooper.

deemed proper not to resort to a duty on
these articles ; yet, when the -country is
engaged in a foreign war, and all our re
sources are demanded to meet the unavoid
able increased expenditure in maintaining
our armies in the field, no sound reason is
perceived why we should not avail our
selves of the revenues which may be deri
ved from this ' source. 'l'lle Objections
which have heretofore existed to the impo
sition of these duties were applicable to a
state of peace, when they were not needed.
We are now, however, engaged.in a foreign
war. We need money to prosecute it, and
to maintain the public honor ann credit.—
It cannot be doubted that the patriotic peo
ple of U. States would cheeerfully and
without complaint, submit to the payment
of this additional duty, or any other that
may be necessary to maintain the honor of
the country, provide for the unavoidable
expenses of the government,. and to uphold
the. public credit. It is recommended that
any duties which may be imposed on these
articles be limited in their duration to the
period of the war.,
The Thiee illittion BM—Adopt lon
of the "Wlintot PrOviso.”
By a resolution of thellouse, the debate
on the Bill appropriating $3,000,000, to be applied
by the President to defraying any , necessary ex
penses that may be incurred in negotiating a Peace
with Mexico, terminated at 12 o'clock on Monday,
and the House proceeded to vote on the several
amendments. Mr. Itandin moved to Mikan] the
bill by adding the "Wiliam Proviso," which pro-
vides that Slavery shall be forever excluded from
such territory as may fall to the U. States by virtue
of the propo.sed negotiations. The amendment
was agreed to by a vote of 105 to 77—the mem
bers Fran the Free States generally voting for the
Proviso, and those from the Slave States against
it. After some unsuccessful maineuvering, to get 1
rid of the amendment, the Bill, as amended, was
adopted by the Committee, 111 to 100, where it
passed on final reading by the same vote,
. Tito Bill will now have to run the gmuitlet of
the Senate, where it is feared the Anti-Slavery 1
clause will be stricken out. ifs°, we trust the Bill
itself will be killed. There must be no flinching
upon the part of northern inert err this question of
Slavery. Let the issue be distinctly made and un
derstood—"No slavery, or No Territory," and this
war will soon be brought to a close.
11CP In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr.
Ilea•roz, from the Military Committee, reported
a bill embodying the recommendation of the Pres
ident. It provides for the organization of the ten
regiments, recently authorized to be raised, into
brigades and divisions, and authorizes the appoint.
ment of Major Generals and Brigadier Generals,
to be discharged at the'close of the war. The
President is also authorized to accept the services
of the volunteers now in Mexico, whose terms
shall expire before the end of the'war, and to fill
vacancies in corps now in service. The portion
of the message which relates to a duty on Tea
and Coffee was referred to the Finance Committee.
The Object of the War.
In the Sen4te,.on Monday, Mr. WEB
STE a offered the following important Resolutions :
Resolved, That the war now existing
with Mexico ought not to be prosecuted
for the acquisition of territory to form new
States to be added to this Union.
Resolved, That it ought to be signified
to the Government ,of Mexico, that the
Government of the United States does not
.desire to dismember the Republic of Mex
ico, and is ready to treat with the Govern
ment of that Republic for peace, for a lib
eral adjustment of boundaries, and fur just
indemnities, due by either Government to
the citizims of the other.
Mr. Webster said it was not'his purpose to in
terfere with the three million hill. His object was
merely •to present these resolutions and to lay them
on the table, with the view of calling them up here
acter,<whon he intended to speak upon them.

Dailies on Ten. Coffee, iron Sa.e.
On Wednesday, in the house of Re
resentatives, Mr M'Kay, from the Committeu. on
Ways and and Means, reported a bill to increase
the revenue derived from duties on imports, and
to reduce the priceof the public heals. in conform
ity with the recommendations of the President's
message. The hill lays a duty of 29 per cent. on
Tea and Coffee; an additional duty of 10 per cent.

Minnesota Territory.
A 13111 has passed the House of Wpm-

name of the territory, was ITAsti t. after the lake

Tilr. Adams In Itix Scat.
The National Intelligencer thus notices
the appearance of the "Old mall eloquent" in the
House of Representatives:
beautiful incident occurred in. the.
House of• R e presentatives on Saturday.--
While Mr. hunt, 01 N. York, was addres
sing the Committee of the Whole in sup
port of the Wilmot Proviso, the venerable
figure of Ex-President ADAMS presented
self at the central door of the hall. All
eyes were quickly attracted to the spot;
Mr. hunt suspended his speech ; Mr.
Mosely, of New York, and Mr. Holmes, of
South Carolina, conducted Mr. Adams to
his former seat, (temporarily occupied by
Mr. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, who.
instantly relinquished the right which he
had to it under'a late rule of the House, as
he had promised to do when he selected it.)
The Members of the House rose at their
seats, and numbers of them approached
, Mr. Adams to congratulate him on his re
covery and restoration to the hall.
Mr. Adams, who seemed a good deal
subdued 12y this reception, expressed his
thanks to the House for the manner in
which they had received him.
Mr. Hunt, in resuming, noticed the
cident, and expressed his own deop-felt
giatification at Mr. Adams' return to his
wonted place.
trgThin the U. S. Senate, on Tuesday,
Mr. Corwin presented resolutions passed by the
Legislature of Ohio, expressive of theirconfidence

'l'i (ullow•in g is the .Address of the Comi l iiree
appointeii under the third Resolution:
iiro the People ol'Adaths County.
We appeal to you in the cause orsullbr.
ing humanity. :\ whole nation is, by tho
visitation of Divine Providence, on the
brink of starvation, whilst the same Provi
dence has crowned Its with plenty, and Id,
led the cup of otir prosperity to overflow-
Mg. The cry attic Irish nation, wrung
from their hearts by the agonies offamin e ,
has come across the bread Atlantic, and
fhllen on our ears, and we have felt that
humanity and religion alike forbade us to
be deaf to its imploring accents.
Many of the wisest, greatest and best of
our countrymen, assembled at the city of
Washington from every part of the Union,
have suggested and urged a general system
reaction throughout the land, for the hu.
mane and benevolent purpose Of furnish.,
ing the starving millions of Ireland %with
bread; and in response thereto, the citi. ;
!setts of Gettysburg , met on the evening of !
the 15th hest., and the nntlersigned were !
appointed a Conunittee to solicit and re.:
oeive contributions 01 the inhabitants of the
Borough, in aid oldie cause, and to address
you On the subject.
We make no other appeal to you in fa-
NOP of this work of charity than to refer
you to the harrowing details of the state of ;
stinting and destitution of this afflicted!
people with which the publie papers are
filled. We urge no other argument to!
stimulate your efforts than the golden rule!
laid down in the volume of inspiration,
4 , D0 ye unto others as ye would that they
should do unto you," We have not the
space to incorporate the afflicting details, !
nor will we insult your intelligence by sup-,
posing them to be necessary for your in-
formation. We suppose that all—the !
Farmers especially, who as ti class are ,
more immediately and eNteusively benefit
ter, than any others by the failure of the
grain and potato crops, which has created
the famine—will rejoice to know that a
door has been opened through which the!
offerings•of their benevolence may reach a
starving people. Although separated from
its by the broad Atlantic, they arc our
neighbors in the sense of the beautiful par.
able of the 6i Good Samaritan;" they are
our brethren by a ihousand ties that link
the Irish and American heart together.
'We announce to you, then, that we are
ready to receive your contributions in pro
visions, or in money to be applied to the
purchase of breadstuiTs and provisions, to
be transmittedio suffering" reland; unless,
indeed, [which wo would recommend]
you should prefer orgnoiAing for the same
purpose in your respective neighborhoods.
What you give shall be Ilithfully applied,
-and an acpount tendered,
The Citizens of Ciettyshurg, with a laud
able promptitude and liberality, have al
ready contributed a large in money,
which now in the hands of the Treasu
rer, JOHN 13. M'PognsoN, and
by at mite appropriated, • We suppose
that inany,emong you would lind it more !
convenient to Contribute in flour and other!
provisions. For the information of ail,
such, we state that col. 11:i or of
Slate Temperance Convention.
The proceedindg of the Stare Temperance Con
tention, which assenibled• in llariishurg on the
'27th tilt., have at last been publ:slwd. The mane
of WM. W. Pwros, Esq., of this county, appears
vvk the list of Vice Presidents, and Mat of Prof.
J.veons on the Committee to report Resolutions
and the State Central Temperance Conimittee fhr
the ensuing year. The efforts of the Convention
were mainly directed against the License System,
arid a large portion Of the" time was occupied in
listening to reports relating thereto from the dif
ferent counties of ttte Stato. A memorial was ad
dressed to the Logisla lure praying the enactment
of a law by which the question of "License or no
License" should be submitted to a vote of the peo
ple of the several counties and districts. AtmAig
the Resolutions adopted were the following: .
1. Resolved, That the law which Neon,
ses and sustains the sale of intoxicating
drinks grants a privelege to the few at the
expense of the tunny, and conflicts. %vial"' the
moral and pecuniary interests of society,
and is therefore incompatible with sound'
legislation, the °thee of which is to protect
the general interests of the community,
'2. Resolved, That the traffic in .itooxi
eating drinks is immoral and sinful, that it
is productiVe olgreater suffering and evil
t!ttu any other cause-.:hat it is a nuisance of
the worstdescription,compared with which
lottery policies, licentious public:mons, dis
,eased and unwholesome food, and all other
things, the sale of which is now prohibited
by law, are in the aggregate but as dust in
the balance, and that there is no reason for
prohibiting the sale of those things which
does not apply with ten-fold force to tiro
sale of strong drink.
3. Resolved, That the sale of strong
drink should be placed by law on a footing
with otlwr ackowledged mils:loves, and
pthibiteit as onqualifiedly as larceny, bur
glary and other °Duces against the peace
and 'welfare of society ; and the only ground
on which the enactment of a prohibitory
penal taw can be opposed; is that pub
lic: sentiment has become so corrupted by
usage and by (in mer legislation as to require
a Inure gradual purification of the statute
book, such as shall he sustained and enter:
cod by the people,
liesolved, That the imposition of li:
quor selling establishments on a column,
city, ill opposition to the wishes of a ma :
jority oldie people 0011;0 coinOlunitY, is r 1
gross outrage on the rights of the people,
which 'should not be tolerated even by the
minions of despotism—that such outrage
and oppression arc every day results •of
the present license system, and that the
people should at the' very least have the
right of determining the question of licenso
in their respective voting districts,
9. Resolved, That the friends of telnoe
rance are entirely willing to encounter all
the injury to their cause which some indi
viduals anticipate. or affect to anticipate, 8 §
likely to result from the contemplated vo:
bug law, and to assume all the respond:
bility of such evil results. We are not a,
fraitl of Misting the question in the hands
of the people, because we feel that there is
enough of virtue and intelligence in our
good old Commonwealth to secure, sooner
or later, the triumph of the cause of trudt
and im mun ity,
10.
Resolved, That the history of leg:
islatimi in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont,
New flaMpshire, New York, Pennsylva:
inv.' and other States of our Union, on the
suttinct of the sale of strong drip}: exhibits
a pirogress. onward and upward as steadily
as the. course of the sun in the heavens,
and we have faith to believe equally cer:
lain and irresistable in its final results.

The Monterey Capitulation.
The attack on Gen. Taylor, for .the humane
4erms granted to the enemy at the capitulation of
Monterey, has drawn out a defence from Col. Jef.
ferson Davis, Gem Henderson and Gen. Worth,
the Commissioners who concluded the terms,
which settles the controversy now and forever.—
Gen. Worth, who'se opinion is worth more than
the whole Administfation put together, talks out
like a soldier thuS:
