Whig SOSe2,Conventlon. 11'The following are the Resolutions adopted by the Whig State Convention, assembled in Har risburg on the pth inst. The resolutions were re ported by R. T t Eonnid, Esq., and were unanimous ly adopted : PREAMBLE.—The Whig delegates from the various counties and districts of Penn sylvania, assembled in Convention at Harrisburg, fur the purpose of presenting suitable candidates for the offices of Gov ernor and Canal Commissioner of this Commonwealth, and having discharged that duty, present the following resolutions expressive of the views of the Convention : Resolved, That this Convention of fers its sincere congratulations to the peo ple of this Commonwealth, and of the Uni ted States at large, upon the rallying of so large a majority of the people to the prin ciples of the Declaration of Independence, and the faith of the founders of the Republic. Resolved, That the triumph of the Whig Democracy, as exhibited by the majority in both houses of the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, cannot be viewed as complete, until the Executive branch of the government shall be made to harmonize with the Legislature. Resolved, That having entire confidence in the political integrity and sound Demo cratic Whig principles of Gen. JAMES IRVIN, of Centre county, as exhibited in a long and active life—believing his talents to be of the highest order and . fully equal to the due performance of any 'trust that may be repotted in him by the pbople, and knowing his public and private char acter to be pure and unspotted, this Con vention unanimously recommend him to the people of Pennsylvania as a suitable candidate for the office of Governor of the Commonwealth. Resolved, That in offering the name of this distinguished citizen for the suffrages of the people of Pennsylvania, we depign --to_make no new issues as to the measures and principles, but adhering to the ancient landmarks of the Democratic Republican party, as established by the Father of his country, by Jefferson, Madison, and Mon .roe—the most prominent of which are the protection of the Agricultural, the Mineral and the Manufacturing interests of this Commonwealth and of the United StateS at large, against the competion and hostili ty of foreign nations, and pauper labor; es pecially of England ; equal justice towards - all nations, but entangling alliances with none ;—the supremacy of the people over their servants—the restriction , or control of the Executive power, and the preserva- _lion of national prosperity and individual — happiness. • Resolved, That in ,the opinion of 'this Convention, the people of Pennsylvania ---the practical men who are concerned in the prosperity of the CommOnwealth, the . developement of its resources, and the pro . tcction of its industry, have heretofore had frOm friends of candidates enough of hol low profession for the particular interests of the State, and are called upon now to sustain a candidate whose life and princi ples are pledged for his faithful administra tion of public affairs, as they are identified with the prosperity of the people of Penn sylvania. • Resolved, That we have the fullest con fidence in the ability and integrity of JO SEPH W. PATTON, presented to the people fly this Convention as.a candidate ,ior the important office of Canal Commis sioner; and feel confident that if elected the happiest consequences will resultfrom a thorough':change of men and measures connected with the public improvements of the Coinmonivealth, and the introduction of that energy and economy so necessary for their prosperity. Resolved, That the protection of Amer ican Manufacturea, and the independence 'of American labor, as they were the poliey ;Of the ;Whigs before and during the Revo lution, are their policy now: that the Ta ritrof 1842 was the source 3f unexampled prosperity to the country, and that its re peal has been attended with results detri mental to the true interests of all sections and classes. - • Resolved, That if an addition to our ter-'. ritory be desirable, it should not be attain ed by injustice, nor attended with an ex tension of slavery ; that while we respect and sacredly observe every compromise of 'the Constitution, we believe that the inter ests of the North and South, the welfare of • the race,and the honor of the nation, demand that territory should not be acquired for the purpose of an extension of slavery. Resolved, That true democracy demands a jealousy of Executive power;—thal a .renewal and continuance of the power of a Chief Magistrate is corrupting and dan gerous in its influence and tendencies; that we recognize and adopt, as theres 4ad will •of the people, the ONE T .M principle. Resolved, That the thanks of the whole' ..,_ „. i / in: nil AJOR GENERALSIIIP.—The Alex -nation are due to Major General TAYLOR, 1 t is rumored at andria Gazette says—“l and the brave officers under his command, ' Washington that Gen.

The Washington Union of Monday' says thatletters have been received in Washing. ton which indicate the greatest harmony and concert of movements between our squadron and army. The number of troops. including national militia, in the ci ty of Vera Cruz, is not more than 2800. Additions may be made from the militia, but few can be made, it is believed, front the troops of the line before the contempla ted attack by our forces. It is doubtful whether any increase would redound to the enemy's advantage. The more per sons that are shut up within the walls of the city, the more speedy, front want of provision must be its capitulation. W ith the city, it is presumed, falls the castle of lilloa, and for the same reason. There arc two points at which the debarkation of our troops may be effected—the one due west from the island of Sacalicios, and within a mile and a half of the eastern walls of the city, and the other immediate ly abreast of the anchorage of Anton Lizar do. Our squadron will be able to cover , the landing of our troops with case at whichever of these points it may be made. FROM THE ARMY The New Orleans papers have dates from Tapico to the 2 WI ult. Ceti. Scott, the commander in chief, ar rived off Tampico on thursday evening, the 18th ult., but did not come ashore un til Friday morning, previous to which he received a "thundering welcome." Ile seemed to be in fine health and spirits.— After receiving the congratulations of a great number of the citizens:, he proceeded to Gen. Patterson's headquarters. On the 21st, he. embarked - with his suite on board - the steamship 'Massachu setts, to proceed, no doubt, to the island of Lobos. About 2,000 troops left Tlmpico for Lobos, and all the vessels were hauling in to take on board the remainder of the troops. The steamship Eudora was to leave on the 24th ultimo for Lobos, and. thence for thisliort. The scene in and about Tampico, is sta ted to be stirring in the extreme. Reviews in regiMents and brigades, were daily taking place; vessels were continually arriving with goods, merchaudize, military stores, &c. ; the American population were all in intense excitement, regarding coming e vents. Every thing announced action in its utmost intensity. All quiet, with re gard to the enemy, in thelriteTior. Destitution in the Mexican driny—:- Poverty of the Govern menl.—;The Tam pico Sentinel, of the 20th ultimo, publish es a proclamation from Santa Anna. The distress pervading his army which it paints,, is really unexampled in modern history. Since the publication of that document, he has issued an address to the soldiers, in which ho reiterates the helplessness and .destitution of those under him, and states his determination of immediately proceed ing forth in search of the enemy—advising the soldiers, as they are deserted by the Government, that they must endeavor to "kill what they cat." Ug - The "Mtn - and "Stromboli," new brigs re eently fitted out at the Charlestown Navy Yard, near Boston, ready for sea, were to sail on the 11 th ,for the Gulf. The !Etna is commanded by Corn. G. J. Van Brunt, and the Stromboli by Wm. S. Walker. Their guns were cast by Alger, at South Boston, weigh each 1,500 pounds, and will carry a shell weighing some S 5 pounds. It is sta ted that "these guns will carry at least one half a mile further than those at the castle of San Juan, of the same size, but considerably lighter. These two vessels will act in conjunction with two that are fitting out at. the N. York Navy Yard, and which will carry each a gun similar to these." A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune states that the city of Vera Cruz, containing some 7,000 in habitants, and walled in with a rampart construct ed of coral and mud, is seated directly on the strand, a low sandy beach, swelling slowly intoran ges of hillocks of sands, which flank the city inland, and seem to break up the sufrace entirely between the mountains, (which rear their lofty heads heaven wards, in the distance of some .20 or 40 miles,) and tha'sea. The intermediate space is poisoned with swarms of stagnant pools and marshes, which en gender the fatal miasma, so destructive to life during the rainy seasons. THE MEXICAN LlNE.—General Butler, who was severely wounded in fighting so gallantly at Monterey, and who has lately returned to Kentucky to hasten his recov ery, say that the best mode of prosecuting the war is that recommended by Mr. Cal houn in the Senate. This is the occupa tion of the boundary that we intend to maintain, with a line of defences, leaving the enemy to all aggressive operations, and confining our own to keeping what we have got. This plan was opposed in the Senate, by Gen. Cass and other distinguish ed Senators. Dryy Smi h On Wheat. CEIDr. (Minn B. Smith, the former able editor ofthe American Farmer, has made the following prediction in reference to the ivhea crop. Mark it: "The wheat crop must lie looked to. I am not a dealer-in wheat, nor interested in it other than an cater of bread. But the scab will be found to affect the crop of 1817 to such an extent that a great scarcity of good flour will prevail. The scab is also an epidemic at times. It will spread all over the country in 1847, '4B; will ap pear in Europe this year and in 1818, and spread over the wholc.of that continent.— It will take the usual course of all vegita ble epidemics,• from west to east—that is, it commences in America and will reach the eastern world. Nearly all, if not all animal epidemics, commence i i the cast and progress westwardly, as it the case of cholera. When the .sf t,% ab shall have run its course then the wheat op will be relieved of its baneful effect-1 • 7 will be the climax in America. In 1848 there will be some of it more or less; in 1849 it will disappear; one year later in all these dates will be the time of its progress in Europe. But let no one despair. The potato and wheat and animal food will be preserved, and contin ue their abundant supplies of human food. It has been said that we must "never de spair of a merciful and benificent Provi dence." LA MENTABLE .-Th e New York. Tri bune says, that a servant girl at Brooklyn, in the family of General 11. B. Duryea, of that city, last week sent all her earnin g s,' Eg3o, to her friends in Ireland, and only yesterday received information that her father, mother, brothers and sisters, eight in number, had died of starvation. The poorlgirl, as may be expected, was frantic. Another girl in the family of N. B. Morse, received information that two of her sis ters died of starvation. A WITI. ACCIDENT.-011 'Thursday last, says the Lehigh Register, a son of Mr. Jacob Ritter. cedar cooper, of this place, about three years of age, was playing with a sharp edged tool, accidentally fell, the instntment made an incision of about an inch and a half on the right side of the child's neck, severing the inner jugular vein.- The blood flowed very profusely, but the father, being present, immediately pnt his - thumb upon the wound, thereby . stopping the blood, until medical aid was procured. We are happy to learn that the child-is doing Well, though the wound is a dangerous one, and may yet possibly prove fatal. Mr. Walter Urquart and \Vife recently instituted in one of the Courts at New Ha ven a suit against the Connecticut River Steamboat - Company !Or injuries sustained by the latter on board of one of the compa ny's boats, in 1845. Mrs. U. had her arm broken, and received other injuries, whilst being landed at night in a small boat.— The evidence showed negligence on the part of the steamboats officers, and the ju ry gave a verdict for the plaintiffs for $l,- 575. A great number of heads of families and young people at Elderfield, Prussia, most of them in comfortable circumstances, have united to concert measures to arrange a company to emigrate to America, in order to buy land, and ,clear it themselves, in stead of seeking employment in Europe, where the chances of success become ev ery day more unfavorable. FAR ' MERS' AND MILLERS BANli.—The Ilagerstown Torch Light learns that the bill for the relief of the Farmers' and Millers' Bank, which was before the legislature, has not been acted upon. The further existence of the Bank, adds the Torch Light, depend ed upon this measure,and we therefore infer that the Bank will be closed. ANOTHER MAJOR GENERALSHIP DECLIN ED.—COL Cushing, the Savannah Repub lican says, has declined accepting the ap pointment of Major General, conferred on him by the President. This presents the singular phenomenon of two high offices of this kind being declined in one week. CULLEN ' S - PANACEA—We would call the attention of the afflicted to the Certifi cate of Mits. BIiANCII in another column of this paper. Astonishing as is this Case of Scrofula, pamphlets containing certifi cates of Cures quite as remarkable, may be had of Mr. BUEHLER, agent for this place. These certificates are not gotten up for effect, but the truth may be ascer tained by calling upon the persons, or ad dressing them by post.. The oath of the proprietors has been published, stating that this i hiedieine contains no glineral sub stance—and may be used by the Regular Practice as an Alterative in connection with their prescriptions.

Those who prefer making publication through the "Star," will bear in mind that the next No. (the :6th,) will be the lust in which said notice can receive the legal number of insertions. Melancholy Accident. We • learn that on Tuesday last, Mr. SAMIII;L HALL, son of Mr. John Hall, of Menallen township, fell from his horse, %%idle returning from a visit to a neighboring friend, occasioning a dis location of the neck and almost instant death. The deceased, we understand, was subject to epileptic attacks, and it is thought the accident occurred while thus affected. The New Postage Law. irrThe Postmaster General has issued a rircu- far to the different deputy Postmasters, exp!anatory of the amendments to the Postage Laws passed by Congress amid the confusion incident to the last few days of the late session,,and so unjust and ar bitrary do its provisions scent to be that we arc in clined much to doubt whether they could have been fully known even to those members by whose votes the law was enacted. Its appropriate title would have been "An Act to tax and retard the dissem ination of knowledge:among the people, and to ex tend the franking privilege to member of Congress and other officers of Government." On our first page wil be found it brief t•tatcment of the proVi sions of the law so far As they affect the existing regulations, excepting the provisiou which re-im poses a postage on newspapers hitherto circulating free within :39 miles of the office of publication, of the existence of Which we had not been aware un til pointed out by the circular of the Postmaster General, and which, possibly, will be regarded as the most ob;ectionalde part of the new law. The regulation removing . the Postage on news papers circulating within 30 miles, was adopted a few years since, at the same time that the law pro viding for a reduction of the postage on letters was enacted, and was hailed over ihe country , as a prac tical recognition by government of the principle that prescribes to it the duty of providing means by which the diffusion of general lintelligcncc and knciwledge may be facilitated and encouraged.— And we feel assured that t h e riew law, re-imposing this postage, will be received, as it should, with marked disapprobation by the great mass of the people throughout the United States, es little else than an attempt on the part of government to tax the citizes who subscribe for a paper, to the amount of 52 cents, in order to supply any deficiency in the Post-Office revenue that may be occasioned by an unlimited extension of the franking privilege to members of Congress and other public officers. In common with the great mass of the people of the Union, we approved of the law reducing the letter-postage rates ; and,. yet, it were infinitely more wise, and more in accordance with republican propriety, that the former rates be re-instated,—fl ing, as the burden does, itt Mile cases out of ten, on those best able to bear it, and whose pecuniary in yitirest is more immediately connected with this spa cies of mail matter—than that a tax of flay cents should be imposed on papers circulating among the masses, and scattering, wherever they go, light and intelligence, and power. Yet we approve of the reduction in letter-postage rates, and trust it may not be long before they will be still further re :'dueed. But we cannot sec the propriety of extend ing to well paid officers of Government the privi lege of burthoning the mails Ivith franked docu- ments at the expense of the reading portion of our people. If the pay of members of Cofigress be not sufficient to meet the expenses incident to the sta tion, then let it be increased, or their mail matter paid out of the general Treasury. Itcertaiuly can not be wise, or right,or just that the deficiency • thereby occasioned should be met by imposing ad : t ditional burdens on the reading communit'y t - One of the earliest acts of the next Congress should be a repeal or remodeling of this law. And if the press and the people do their duty—the one by appropriate utterance, the other by memoriali zing—it will assuredly be done. ('lt should be remembered by individuals who are in the_ habit of sending newspapers to fiends, that under the law adopted by the last session of Congress, newspapers, circulars, &c., unless sent from the pUblication offico, have to pay three cents postage, in advance. Under the into law, they paid but one I m pall ant. tune new Post-office Law allows mail carri ers to carry papers out side the mail, for which no postage can be charged. We shall take advan t•age of this privilege in all cases where desirahle. Tho. of our subscribers who prefer having their papers forwarded in this way, will so inform us. A Rebellious Preiliction.i Err The Harrisburg Intellig,encer, in giving on Et:count of the locofoco State Convention, says, Mr. Overfield addressed the tt'onventiothand warn ed the DeMocracy to be careful ho they piomised to chap heads off.

Adjournment of the Legtslature.l J The Legislature of Pennsylvania adjourned sine die on Tuesday last, alter an unusually short but laborious session. The Whig members went into the Legislature determined to make the session a working one"; and well have they succeeded, des pite the discreditable efforts of the minority to lin ! pede the progress of business and protract the ses ' sion. The result is a saving to the state of about s2o,ooo—an item of some moment in these Ays of excessive taxation. A large number of bills were passed, end about fifty mo, • on file, would also have been pa. , had not the c ). tious spirit of the Locofoc nembers prevented • On Saturday nflernoo this factious disposition developed itself so boldly, that for a long time the House was a scene of disgraceful confusion and disorder. The bill tinder consideration was that providing for the Sale Of the Public Works. Sa turday being the last day on which the bill could be passed on second reading, the locofocos determined to kill the bill by flittering away the day in idle and frivolous debate. For this purpose amendment id ter amendment of the most trifling character was offered. And when the Whigs put an end to this ' by calling the previOus question, the Locofoco mem 1' hers ' one "after 'another, would rise and ask to be excused from voting, and then call the yeas and nays on the question of being excused. This game, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, con ceived for the purpose of delay only, was carried on until the outrage was so gross; and the conduct of the minority so disgraceful, that the duty of the Speaker was clear, and its further delay would have been pusillanimous, if not griminal, at such a crisis. Mr. Coortn addressed a few words to the riot breeders—declared their course contumacious— read the article of the rules of the House, which specified its power to arrest and punish refractory Members—and told them that no further contuma cious conduct should be tolerated—that he would perfiirm his duty without fear, favor or affi , ction, in quelling any further spirit of disorganization and infraction of the rules. The contumacious loco focos quailed under the reproof of the Speaker.— The proceedings afterwards were orderly, yet 'ev ery movement allowable under the rules, was re sorted to prevent the passage of the bill any further than the first section. The hour of adjournment having arrived before the final passage of the bill, it was lost! itr_7=. The Harrisburg papers speak in the most favorable terms of the ability and firmness manifested by Mr. Coormt, as Speaker, during the trying scenes in the House on Saturday: Oz The Legislanire was in session only 71 days, and in that time submitted 4 9 l3ills and Resolutions to the Governor for his approbation. A number of bills were lost in consequence of having been been deferred to the close of the ses sion. Iris impossible, amid the confusion dent to the last few days proceedings, to tell which are lost, and which me not. Among the more important measures ./ost are the "License Bill,' the Supplement to the Central RailroadAßill, and the Bill for the Sale of the Public Works. Iti:7'The nomination of John M.

Interesting from Mexico.. The :Nay Orleans papers of the 9th instant, contain some' tlitional intelligence from Mexico. Mr. Atocha; who, itseems, had been sent to the city of Mexico 'with certain despatches from our Gov ernment, has returned; and is on his way to Wash ington. The nature of the despatche s is not cer tainly known, but they are freely discussed in the Mexican papers. The Vera Cruz papers state that our government has proposed to Mexico an indem nity of $2.0,000,000, for the lino of the 26th par::- lel from the mouth of the Rio del Norte to the Pa cific.. The New Orleans Bulletin thinks that there is a prospect of a favorable termination of the ne gotiations, while the Picayune thinks tht.t nothing whatever has been accomplished by the mission. So far from Vora Cruz having been abandoned by the Mexican troops, their number had been in creased, and was numerous. Gen. Scott was daily expected by the squadron off that port. Santa Anna had left San Luis with the main body of his troops in the direction of Monterey, and had advanced as far as Cedml. Hie ultimate destination was not known, but understood to be Saltillo. The Mexican troops wereNsuffcring se verely from destitution. Distressing Intelligence front New Mexico. The St. Louis papers contain some important intelligence from the Army in New Mexico, to the effect that an extensive insurrection Of the Mex icans had taken place at Taos on the 10th or Jan uary, in which the entire American population, numbering 20 families, was massacred! Gov. Bent was among the killed. The insurrection had made formidable head, and the disaffection was rapidly spreading. Fears were entertained for the safety of Santa Fe, to which an express had been sent with intelligence of the doings at Taos. Col. Doniphan had left Santa Fe a feW days previous with all the disposable force, about 300 men, on his way to Chihuahua, and the Mexicans were confident of surprising and capturing his command. There is no doubt of the correctness of this intel ligence, as it is confirmed by despatches from Lieut. Albeit, of the U. S. Typographical Engin- The Mlle Journal.

The License Question ha Vermont. re - On Tuesday of last week the citizens of Vermont determined at the ballot box the question whether the traffic in intoxicating liquors should be permitted any longer. Last year the question o: license or no license was determined by each county for itself. but the Legislature at its last session passed a law to submit the question to the people of the whole State, so that the traffic should either be entirely prohibited or allowed on equal terms in all parts of the State. The result is an Anti-License majority of nearly two to one. The vote in 111 towns is for License, 7,384; against License, 14,033—Ant-License majority, 6,489., Ira - A destructive fire occurred at To wanda, Bradford county, on Friday last, by which upwards of 20 houses were consumed. / Leiss about $75,000.
