    _SatisLactory Testimonial—. -
The Tiogii Eagle, an old Democratic

tion for politial integrity, and t . 4e only De
mocratic papOr in'that county, in testimony
o f the real mdral and politicalvorth of Ro
bert G. SVLiu Esq., the People's candidate
for Congres4 publishes the proceedings of
the Conferet by which he was nominated,
and adds theVollowingediroria/ remarks:
TARIFF CA-DIDATR.--AI will be seen by
reference to another column, that Robert G.
White Esq. hits been brought forward as'the
Tariff candiditte in this Congressional dis
trict, and iioopposition to MT. Wilinot of
Bradford couiity. It would therefore appear
that the Tara question is fairly in the field,
alone as it were, presenting a,strange anoma
ly in things &lineal ! We shall find in Mr.
White a fora able. opponent, he being so
well and fayotable known to the people of
this county, said whose character, we must
say, unbiassed; by party predilection, is mark
ed by strict integrity, sound principle and
undeviating, Oiliness. The contest will un
doubtedly be 4 warm one;and we sincerely
trust - Ana fairtiess, candour, truth and sound
argument will characterize the campaign,
instead of thole weapons too frequently -used
by political aspirants—vituperation, false
/mod and perioaal abuse.
How9alll the Whigs vote I
It is said, tlytt many' Whigs in Towanda,
will vote for David Wilmot. Well; be it so.
We cannot amid their voting for whom they
please. Protnbly the patriotic and enlight
ened portion that party, hiwing no canoi
date of their pwn on the -course, will cast
their votes epr Robert G. White. What
proportion t4t class will bear to the entire
number, were unable to say. Let time .

thit mutual and, equal concessions might
i i this have brought those cOntlictinginterests
to the -true medium line of permanent ad

of !either the act Of 1842 or 1846, bit that so
fail. as the interests of Pennsylvania were
concerhed, I considered the act of 18-12 pre
feiable to that of 1816, and that I iireferred

were applicable, because under that system
tl4re was a better security against fraud

At the meeting of Wednesday, I was pub
licly interro g ated as to my intentions of sup-,
pofr,t ing the democratic ticket, then formed,
and that 'too, by J. N. Bishop, one of the
inee Ling, who first saw the light of Democ
raCy throug,li a canal contract, While Mr.

and who until within a few •vears, was,one

more time and money in support of the cause
th'i'n any other. ;one man in the county, I
4114 stated that I intended to support the
whole ticket with the . exception of one can
-dictate. - This newly-fledged democrat then
deinanded of me, whether I intended to vote
for David Wilmot 1 I emphatically said I
wiluld give no further pledges. My old and
worthy friend, John L. Webb, Esq., our
i
pr usent candidate for the Legislature, prob
ahliy remembering the gross injustice done
hail by a similar proscription on a former
occasion, spoke Somewhat touchingly of the
ruany hard battles he and I had fought to

left out ordie prOseriptiie resolution, when
Ml Wilmot got up, and charged me with
pursuing an equivocal course in regard to
the: election .of Polk, and asserted that the
voters of this Borough, of both parties, were
in doubt as to which way I should vote. I
pronounced die charge false, and as the wit
nesses
.were present, challenged him to pro
-4,* a single ,individual, of either party,
Wholvould say ; hint I ever uttered .a word

that I had any 'intention of supporting Mr.

mini& bear him out, he then enquired of Mr.
Afitirns, a leading Whig of this Borough,
who - was present, and he promptly told him
that none of the, Whig party had entertained
any hopes of my voting for Mr. Clay. Thus
publicly convicted of the falsity of the charge,
he eßvertheless, pers4sted in urging my pro
senption. . : .
The vote was taken, and although not o
ver half a dozen vOides were heard in its fa
-1 vor, the resolution proscribing me is to go
out to the public as the expressiOn of the de

From the Keystone.
ONE TEEM.—Several Democratic papers
in Orig. State. have-declared themselves in fa
vorbf this principle, but it is only just, to say
that they earnestly stipport the re-election of
Mr. t Foster as Canal Commissioner. More.
than once have we expressed our regret that
the !discussion of this subject was not post
potiO till after the fall election; yet we do
not feel inclined to " ostracise" those, who
havre commenced the argument; but would
prefer to persuade delay rather than Ann
doninent. Our contemporary of the Penn
syNanian deals too harshly with the on e
term" men. . Jefferson and Jackson both
rec9mmended one executive term, and no
re-election. Some of our best men in the
con notion, advocated' that it should !find a
pra in : the Constitution Of our! State ; and
ultliough•it was not inserted there, we think
that; men have a right by their Votes and in
ue`inc e, to establish this principle if they
deeta it , subservient to tire cause: of Democ
racy and right. To subordinate offices,
thole is k perpetual -re-eligibility; and yet in.
Philadelphia, at least, the one term princi
ple s established, and in other parts of the
State, limits to re-election are equally well
settlied ; for a member of Congress attached
to iyhich there is no specific patronage, two
ternis only are allowed. And, wink we-do
not ;intend, at present, to commit ourselves
or s)iy a word on the subject, the agitation
of which is premature, we must interpose
against the wholesale sacrifice, by ths4'enn- .
syNanian, of all the Democrats who- differ
with it.
";Rotation in office," is a cardinal princi.
pie ~ipf Democracy and though neither law ' '
notleonstitution prohibits perpetuity of ten
ure; public seutiment.interposes, and a man
can. object to re-election and re-appointment
and yet (notwithstanding the tenets of our
contemporary) be "a Democrat Linden hon
est titan." Our neighbor's article is tilled
with political errors which we shall at our
own good time fully expose ; at present we
content ourselves with saying thtis much;
lest,the idea should prevail that all concur
in the proscription of those Democrats who
seek to establish this principle in the legiti
mate manner.
.O,TAIRS" AT NAuvoo.---The St. Louis
Republican of the 15th says the billigerent
forges of Nauvoo have skirmishes every day.
A correspondent of that paper says that lie
sa* at Montrose•something Of the suffering
and destitution produced amongst the Mor
mons by this outrageous war. Many fam des
of Women and children had been sent over
the; river without _slicker or food, some of
theM sick.
The terry boat was kept constantly run
ning. Mrs. Smith herself crossed over and
begged quarters on board of the steamboat
Winona, which was lying ,up there. She
wa4 crowded full of women and children
froth Nauvoo. Other boats were taking
thole that wish to go up the rivet' 'without
chlrge. Nothing less than the exputsinu of
the)forttions from the State would satisfy
theeitizens of the einintry. Whatever the
citizens of the country possess, is at the dis
pospl of the camp; it is contributed without
molter and without price. Wheat is sent
to the mill from all parts of the country to
supply the camp with bread. A baker here
with several hands had devoted himself ex
cluUively to their service for three weeks ; a.
butOer at Carthage has done the same.—
There are from one huitdred to one hundred
and, fifty wagons and teams all the time at
or employe for the camp ; and last, though
not least, nearly, if' not quite, a thousand
moh constantly on duty. Besides the dire
consequences attendant upon such a state
of iihings, I estimate that it costs, to main
tain such a force, one thousand dollars per
day..
CAPTAIN CARPENDER.—The Washington
Union says, accounts have been received at
the 'Ala& Department from Capt. Carpender,
which explain how the disaster occurred to
the Truxton. It did not result, - as sortie have
supposed, from any misplaced confidence is
tlic Scotch captain whom lie had on board,
but from the peculiar character`of the coast

might safely anchor in three and a half fath

was got out astern, for the purpose of keep.

these and all other efforts failed ; and the
boats were unable to live in, the surf along

the breakers. The two cutters were ivith

Tas ARMY, which is on its=way to Mon,
terey, ltayt.all its baggag,e packed , upon the
backs off mules: This is the first time, it is
said, that an army ever took the field in this
mode; and its-practicability is doubted by
many officers of rank and experience. The
ease with which fan :
,enemy can scatter a
train of mules, ren men liable, at
ny moment, to hellpilre;dto what they May,
have about their persons. Many amusing
~stenes occurred during the march from Ca
margo, and many a poor fellow could not
refrain frpm joining in the laugh, while he
saw his worldly goods—his fall—scatterd to
the roar winds by some frimctious animal,
who dashed off; •frightened at the uncouth
load thatlhad been placed upon his back.
A correspondent of the Savannah Georgian
describes: one in the following manner :
"The . levening of our firstmarch had set
in, and ohr column was molling steadily on,
when a loud rattling of tin pans,.camp ket
tles, &c. in our rear, showeu that there was
something unusual in the wihd. A moment
after a:tnillg. dashed past.us as if-on an ex
press to Altinterey. Them goes that mule
again,' exclaimed Lieut. A. as he thought
he recognized his own animal, with all my
goods and chattles on his buck; may he
brake hislcursed neck at the first arroyer he
comes across.' A pretty fix he has left nie
id; but one shirt to my back, and nothing ,
to eat, and just started on a campaign.'
Never mind, Bob,' replied Captain S." I
have two shirts, and will divide with. you ; ,
and you must come • round and mess with
m e =ail, you can : replace your losses.'
Shortly after a staff offit(er came riding up :
Bob, did you see an express mule
pass youll., short time since." Yes ; and
may the devil catch him, for he has - carried
off all my, meat and raiment' Not so fast ;
it was not `yours; he belongs to Captain S.'
A general; laugh ran along the line at this
announceineut;and Lieut. A. and Captain
S. changed positions."
important from Mexico.
A letter,(says the Courier nf last evening)
been recieved by a highly. respectable •
commercial house in this. city, from Vera
rt 4, dated September 5, Which states that
the Mexican Executive has rejected the o
vertures of our Government• fur a treaty of
peace, qn the ground that the subject of
peace cannot be treated of by the Executive
without the sanction of Congress, and that
the Cohgress wiil not be in session till the
month of December. 11
We also learn, from the same source,That
the Mexican troops at Saif i Lauis Potosi have
been ordered not to march towards Mon
terry.
It is an interesting questiOn, to be solved
by future iidvices from !deli'!" whether this
rejection of the overtures of our Government
was approied by 'Santa Anna, and whether,
in fact, be ; was ai. that moment presiding
over the Government
We believe The proposals Of our Govern ;
ment involved no su4pensh:•Worhostilities till
the conclusion and ratificaticin of the - treaty,
and this may have been the motive', of the
Mexican Government for rejecting the offer.
The rejectiOnchowevet, is oleo consequence,
and indicates no sign of tlio fut.“;
of the Mexican Government; unless it was
sanctioned byi Santa Anna, who is probably
at - the bend of the Govetninent- - A. 0 .
Delta.
The . picaynne publishes the above state
ment t* ' the New Orion Courier and
with; :
The Codrier seems to think it doubtful
whether this rejection of the ovfitures of our
government was approved by Santa Anna,
and whether, in fact, he was; at the moment,
presiding over the goyernment. The repre
sentations which have been Made to us on
this subject, both verbally aid by letter, are
to the effect that Santa Anna was actually
in the city ofMexico r and. really, though not
ostensibly, tontrolling the aotion oldie Gov
ernment. This we, stated, yesterday, but
have since seen a letter in the Mobile Her
ald which states that Santa Anna was still
at Jalapa,
" Howevt.r this may be, we cannot doubt,
upon re-pursuing a letter which we received
on Motidas.., from an officer, of - the Navy,
hat Gen. 'anta Anna does in fact 'teontrol
the government of Mexicoi. If ) however,
any advantage can be gained by him hereaf
ter from disavowing the course which Gen,
Salas and, the Mexican cabinet have pur
sued,. Santa Anna is precisely the man to
make such a disavowal. lie is a monster
of duplicity, and his affected reluctance to as
sume the reins of power at Once and openly,
may be a subterfuge by. which to . escape
from the fulfilment of pledges which he has
given. That this reluctance is affected, is
false mu l l hollow, we have no doubt ; the on
ly quest:yen with ,us is, who, is. ,to be made
the victini of his duplicity 1," ,
MORMON Tammt.ds.—Theinormons and
anti-mormons are again involved in diffieul;
ties.' The compromise made some time a
go between the two parties, was broken by
the anti-mormons, and thereupon both re
sorted to arms. On the 11th inst. a battle
took place at Nnuvoo, which lasted two
hours, and in which from twelve to fifteen,
men were killed rind wounded. The mor
mons engaged nuroliered about 400, andthe
Unties 800, :With six pieces of canon. Addy
or two later another battle was fought, in
which the monnons were victorious. Auder
son, the leader of the mormonicandhis 10441,
were bofh killed. The hilligerent forces had
skirmishes-every doT, up, to the 15th inst.,
the date of the latest advi6es. The nuMbers
of the anties'are c ontinually inereasing,'ead
they' obtained from Quiticy a large sup

was 'expected.
