Convention.
?*Mr. T. M. Kimber is no longer an Agent for
the National Whiff.
NOTICE.?Persons indebted to the National Whiff
lor advertisements, are respectfully requested to make
payment either to the Proprietor in person, or to Mr.
O. L. Gillchrest, who is our sole Agent, and whose
receipts alone will be recognized by us as valid.
09* The city of Mexico was declared by
President Anaya to be in a state of siege on the
1st of May, and under martial law.
OChThe U. S. sloop of war Portsmouth has
captured the towns of San Jose, San Lucas,
Paz, and Loreto, all on the peninsula of
California. They surrendered at discretion.
9Ch The best joke of the season that we have
teen is, that Com. Perry has beeu ordered by
Mr, Polk to prevent Santa Ana's escape from
Mexico, and to take him dead or alive I Mr.
Polk is getting savage. Stand out of the way!
* On the 12th instant a party of eleven
American dragoons were surprised, 14 miles
from Vera Cruz, by a Mexican guerilla band,
and all put to the sword but four. Captain
Walker was sent in pursuit with his 100 ran -1
gers. It seems that the American party were
all asleep but the seuiinel, and his gun having
missed fire, he was killed before the alarm
could be given.
The volunteers and the Jalapans have had
several severe rows and fights, and the result
is?that the former always suffer from the
Mexican knife, as they are generally on a
high horse when they begin these emeuiet.
? ?* ? ?
tj* The Louisville Journal is kind enough to
?ay of the National Whig that it is a " new and
briWaut paper." Thank you, friend Prentice for
yonr opinion. It is worth having.
Jty* Gen. Pillow has arrived at Na*h?ille, on his
way to Washington. He bears despatches from
General Scott to the Government, but intends visit
ing his home before he comes on. "Take your time
Miss Lucy!"
OCT* G. T. Edwards, a Taylor Democrat, has ts
kan the field in the Green River District against B.
L. Clark, a Polk Tory, for tlie next Congress.
Gen. Cushing has no experience in battle. He
has yet to smell sulphur. A: Y: Globe.
So have you?if not in this world, certainly in
the next
S3* The ??Spy in Washington" of the New
York Courier and Enquirer is positive that a peace
will follow Mr. Trut's mission to Mexico. We
doubt it.
We have news from the Kaffir war in Soulh
Africa up to the 20th of February. The Kiffirs,
like the Mexicans, though whipped by the British
every day, won't stay whipped.
to* The editor of the Milwaukie Sentinel
will oblige us by sending to the National Whig
the number ol his paper containing the list of
all the newspapers published in Wisconsin.
0Cf-The Pontiac, Mich. Jacksonian, a De
mocratic paper, says, that it has no doubt, but
that General Taylor is a good man. Stick a
pin there I
ftj* General Patersou reports at New Or
leans, that Gen. Scott's disposable force does
not exceed 6000 men.
CO" The Mexican diligences or stages were
robbed as many as seven times a day near the
city of Mexico.
The Washington correspondent of the N.
York Evening Post, (Tory) says that a change of
operations in the field has been decided on by Mr.
Polk; that Gen. Taylor is to be kept on the defen
sive; that Scott is to occupy the capitol and to keep
open the roed from the capital to Verm Cruz. This
correspondent appears to be another Mr. Grund, so
ecacvleosly doe* he speak!
Cdr The people of Dubuque, Iowa, met on the
intt in counci', and resolved that Mr Pulk's ad
ministration did not possess their confidence or ap
proval, and then nominated by acclamation the Hero
of Buena Vista for the next Presidency. The Du
buqe Tribune comes to us with his flag flying.
Prayer roa Mr. Polk?We commend the
following form of prayer to Mr. Polk, and his
prayetleas cabinet, as peculiarly applicable in
the present stale of things :
"We humbly and fervently implore the AI
mighty Disposer of events to avert from our
land War and Usurpation, the scourges of
mankind j to permit our fields to be cultivated
in peace; to instil into the nations the love ol
friendly intercourse; to suffer our youth to be
educated in virtue^ snd to preserve our moral
ity from the pollution invariably incident to the
habits of war; to prevent the laborer and the
huebandnwn ftom being harassed by taxes and
imposts ; to remove from ambition the mean9
ot disturbing the Commonwealth ; to annihil
ate all pretexts for power afforded by war; to
mintain the Constitution; arid to bless our
nation with tranquillity, under whose benign
influence we may reach the summit of happi
ness and glory, to which we are destined by
Nature and Nature's God."
Senator Cameron's
TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF GEN. TAYLOR.
THE DEMOCRATS FORSAKING THE TORIES.
Misblitown, Pa., April 25, 1847.
44Dear Sir?Your paper ef hut week waa handed
me thia morning, and reminds me of a promiae to
put in writing what I aaid to you the other day in
regard to General Taylor.
"I have aeveral acquaintances who know the old
General well, and I met, aince the battle of Buena
Vista, one, a distinguished citizen of Kentucky, who
lived beside him for many yeara. Thia gentleman
waa recently the democratic candidate for a high of
fice. He say a that General Taylor haa been a dem
ocrat all hia life, and thia agrees with all my inform
ation on the auhjoct. Hia father waa one of the
Electors who gave the vote of Virginia to Mr. Jef
feraon. He waa the peraonal and political friend of
Gen. Jackson, and the firm sapporter of his admin
istration and meaeurea. In 1808, he waa stationed
in this place on a recruiting service, and he is aiill
remembered by aome of our citizen*, who apeak c f
him with pleasure, and say that he wna then a sup
porter of Simon Snyder. He entered the army in
early life, and haa never been a politician?nor has
he ever had any connection with the machinery of
party or with wire-working politicians?but he haa
alwaya kept up an acquaintance with the leadinc
meaaurea of the day, and his enquiring mind ia a ored
with a thorough knowledge of the whole syatem of
our government. No man haa a greater reverence
for the will of the people and none have shown a
greater deaire to elevate and sustain humble men of
intellect a d merit."
" I have before me a letter from a friend at Monte
rey, who feught by hi" aide in more than one field,
duted March 11, 1847, who speaka of him in tfeeae
worda: ? Gen. Taylor haa arrived aince the above
waa writt< n. He is aimple and unostentatious aa a
child?plain aa a pike-staff-?homely and unpretend
ing?brave as Cesar?and aa firm and determined
aa adamant. He haa atrong good sense?he ia un
ornamental, but useful. His sense is of the cast
iron kind, not ahining, but solid, and altogether prac
tical. He is the leaat ahowy, unartiiicial general or
subaltern, that is or ever was in the American ar
my. He has a power and an influence over men,
whether individuate or armiea, that is irresistible.
All around him have a consciousness of security and
safety, while he is with them. It is thia moral
power, this magic of the mjnd, which made hie four
th'>uaand men superior to twenty thouaand well
disciplined troops.
*' If I have not, my dear air, aaid enough to con
vince you that General Taylor ia a good Democrat,
of the Jeffersonian, Snyder, Jackaon school, I shall
be glad to hear what will make a Democrat.
Sincerely your friend,
SIMON CAMERON.
Col. SiWKl. D. Pattkhsow,
Editor Norriatown Register."
The above remarkable letter is the produc
tion of one of the present United States Sena
tors from the Slate of Pennsylvania, and we
place it on record for several reasons. 1. Be
cause it is the testimony of a gentleman who
belongs to the Democratic parly, that General
Taylor has "a thorough knowledge of the
whole system of our government," and that
" no man has a greater reverence for (he will
of ihe people" then the old Hero. 2. Because,
by the testimony of Mr. Cameron, Gen. Tay
lor is not a Democrat of the POLK SCHOOL,
of which Mr. Cameron himself is jiot. 3.
Because Mr. Cameron adduces in support of
his testimony in favor of Gen. Taylor's " tho
rough knowledge of our whole system of gov
ernmt" ihe evidence of Major General Butler^
who is the distinguished citizen alluded to by
Mr. Cameron. 4. Because it is the testimony
of a United States Democratic Senator, that
Gen. Taylor has "strong good sense" "of the
cast iron kind, solid, and altogether practical."
5. Because it is the evidence of a Democrat,
ihat Gen.Taylor possesses an irresistible pow
er, an influence over mens' minds, and is a
homely, unpretending, Arm and determined
republican.
The possession of these qualifications and
qualities, certified to by a high minded and
honorable Demeorat as Mr. Cameron is, would
be proof enough to us, if we had no other evi
dence, that the old Hero is a true, genuine,
staunch Whig; and if the Democracy of Mr
Cameron, aud his witness, Major General
Butler, is satisfied with the standard here set
up by ihem, it is only another proof, among
the many proofs daily evincing themselves,
that the true Democracy of the several States
is rapidly separating itself from Polkism,
which is only another name for Toryism, and
uniting itself with the Whigs of the country,
who are the only practical, real Democrats of
the day. But Whiggery or no Whiggery, De
mocracy or no Democracy, the Hero of the
Mexican war will be the next President; and
every attempt to show that he is of this party
or of that, of this way of thinking or of that,
amounts to nothing. The people?the glori
ous, real people?are determined to make
him their chief magistrate, and all the politi
cians in the country may as well follow the
example ol Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Cameron, Gen.
Butler, Judge French, and a thousand others,
and frame their own excuses in time to get
their boats out into the rushing stream of pop
ular favor; for the hour is fast approaching
when he who will dare to oppose the tide of
the public will in this matter of Taylor and the
Presidency will be swept away :
" Even aa fragments of rubbish into the ocean."
Major Lee with one company of the 7th and
two of the 15th infantry, left New Or'eans on
the 18th instant for Vera Cruz. Col. Andrews'
volliguers, with Captain Blair's company and
a detachment of the same regiment and one
company of dragoons embarked also from New
Orleans for Brazos on the 19ih inst.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta
from Jalapa, May 11, says of the orange grove
at the British Consul's residence near thattown
?" The trees, some three hundred in number,
are filled with green fruit?and such a fra
Igrance! oh, it is too delicious for a volunteer
to mention ! In the centre of the orchard, un
der a fine tree, with a bunch of roses by my
side, I am now?killing Jleus! t having drop
ped the pen to commence the work of death."
But the President did not undertake 10 wea
ken General Taylot's force. The Secretary of
War had submitted the military arrangements
to the discretion of General Scott. For the
withdrawal, therefore, of any portion of Gen.
Taylor's force, the responsibility is not with
the Administration, but is, on the contrary,
wilh General Scott. Tory Union.
General Scott, when ordered to hold himself
in readiness to take command of the Army of
Invasion in May, 1846, refused to re
pair to the field until he received written orders
to that effect. For (his refusal the Union and
it3 kindred prints denounced the HeroofCerro
Gordo without stint, and ridiculed him to the
'op of their bent as MarsluU Turenne, &.c. Is
it a supposable case, therefore, that General
Scott would lake upon himself the responsibi
lity of stripping General Taylor of nearly the
whole of his army and leaving the Old Hero
exposable to Santa Ana's force? The asser
tion of the Union is preposterous. But not
only is it preposterous?it is untrue. General
Scott has the written orders of the Government
for depriving Taylor of his soldiers, and thof-e
orders will see the light quite in time to con
vict the Union for the thousandth time of wil
ful misrepresentation.
In the policy which dictates our present war
with Mexico the Administration has never wa
vered. Tory Union.
The sober man is never half so certain that
he wnlks straight as the drunken man is. It is
very natural, therefore, for the Tory Organ,
drunk with the rich spoils of office, to insist
that the Administration has never wavered in
it its Mexican war policy, when there is not a
man, woman, orchild, in the Union, who has
not laughed with -contempt at the constant and
violent tossing* and changes of the Govern
ment in this respect.
It demands full reparation for past outrage
and adequate guaranties against future injuries
as the basis of an honorable peace. It demands
nothing more. It makes no war against Mex
ican nationality. It wages no conflict against
Mexican institutions, either civil or religious.
It seeks indemnity and justice, not conquest
nor subjugation. Tory Union.
Is the Union so stuped as to imagine that
people are so blind as not to see, that "repara
tion for past outrage and adequate guaranties
against future injuries," are demands which
Mexico never will, nay, never can, submit to,
without producing the extinction of Mexican
nationality and Mexican institutions, without
ihe conquest and subjugation of that country ?
OCJ- The Tory Union dares the press to as
sert directly, that the Administration was will
ing to sacrifice General Taylor at Buena Vista
to the arms of Santa Ana, in order that the
Mexican General, availing himself of the in
fluence which such a victory would give him,
might, in pursuance of a previous airange
ment or understanding with our Government,
conclude satisfactory terms of peace. The
Public Ledger of Philadelphia, and the Sun of
Baltimore have dared to make this identical,
direct assertion. See Washington correspond
ence of these papers by Francis J Grund, Esq.
?passim.
Prospects op Peace, like the Ignis Fatuvs,
vanish as we near the Capital of Mexico. The
New Orleans Delta well informed of every
thing relating to the war says, that the "report
that a deputation had invited Gen. Scott to the
capital, was unfounded. At present there is
nothing to indicate any immediate prospect of
peace, or a disposition to quietly surrender the
city , nor is there any thing to betoken a vig
orus defence. The probability now is that
Gen. Scott will not proceed farther than Pue
bla until he is reinforced." Mr. Trist had ar
rived at Vera Cruz at the last dates, and was
off post-haste to Gen. Spoil's Head Quarters.
Whether his presence will make the enemy
more disposed to peace, remains to be seen!
There is no doubt, but that he Is empowered
in connection with Scott to use the three mil
lion appliance, but will they sell their country
for gold 1 If they do not come to terms on the
appearance of Mr. Trist and after the occupa
tion of the Capital we have every reason to be
lieve, that the whole character of the war will
he openly changed. It will then be proclaim
ed to be a war for the "conquest of Mexico,"
which it has always been under the guise of
a war for the "conquest of peace." Then will
commence the sequestration of the Church
property, &.c.
Revelations.?Mr. Grund, the able and
frank Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun announces that the regular govern
ment is regarded by our government as dis
solved in Mexico; that the-guerrillists will all
be hung when they can le caught alive, that
the Administration have the means not only of
continuing the tear at the cost or Mexico but
to make ourselves paid for oxer previous outlay and
that it is not to be frightened from this, its pur
pose, by scarecrows, and that the article head
ed "Mexico" in the Union of Friday last was
written by one of the Cabinet.
Peace, *aya the New Orleans Picayune, lias no
organ in Mexico city. War, and war only?aa it
waa waged in day a gone by?waa the only cry.?
Death rather than negotiation waa the feeling. Eve
ry man who apeaka of peace ia declared a. traitor.?
The war cry waa "Perioh the Anglo-8axon ! Perish
the Yankees." What can Mr. Ttiat hope to effect
where such ia the aentiment of the people? The
truth is, neither he nor the Preaident hopes to ef
fect any thing by the miaiion. It ia only a pretence
for another move on the chess-board. Mark our pre
diction !
03* The newspapers are filled with snicidea just
now.
Unless measures of a strong character are
immediately adopted, says the Jalapa Star, we
need expect no yielding on the part of the pre*
sent rulers of Mexico. Impose a heavy tax
upon them, and compel them to sustain the
American Army during the balance of its stay
upon their soil, and you will soon see a differ
ent result.
Santa Ana. Tbia general is a graat favorite
with the Whig party. Louisville Democrat.
Ha! ha! ha ! Was it the Whig party, saya Pren
tice, that gave him a paaa through the United State*
blockade ? Waa it the Whig party that amuggled
him into Mexico and relied on him for bringing
about a peace between his own country and the U.
Stales by whipping Old Zach 1
Ft'itxituhk.?We refer our readers to Mr.
Reeves's advertisement in anoth r part of the paper.
Mr. R. has always enjoyed the reputation of turning
out good work. He has on hand a splendid selec
tion, and they who would buy at cheap prices the
beat articles, should not fail to give him a call. Our
word for it, they will not go away without parting
with some of their argent.
CITY ITEMS.
Purr?Purr, Purr !?Ho ye who love
the weed, who love to see the curling smoke
just above your eyebrows, go to the depot on
the Avenue advertised in another column.
There you will find all sorts of prime segars
from the Norma up to Isabella. And snufT
too! oh, but he's up to the beat snuff. And
his mouth pieces are done up with perfect su
gar?so say those who indulge in these bonnet
Lovelies. Try, we say, this store and you'll be
sure to try it agaip.
Cows, Cows, Cows.?If there is a pest
in this city, it is the cows, it is the cows,?but
poor things, they are always half-starved, and
their owners are too stingy to provide for their
Wants. They go about and congregate near
where they can see a lot of green grass and
then set up such a lowing as to shock the
nerves of the whole neighborhood. This hap*
pens not only in the day but in the silent shades
of the night to the annoyance of all peaceable
honest and cow-providing people, while the
cow-neglecting folks sleep under the bellowing
of their starving beasts as though they neither
had ears or consciences,?which last we sus
pect is the case. Why does not the council
make a law to forbid the running at large of
cows 1 They ought to do it at once if they
have any bowels of compassion for the starving
and lowing cows and any regard for people's
rest and comfort
Markets, &c.?Prices of eatables are
beginning to find something like a level with
people's pockets, but they are yet too far above
the purses of the laboring poor who make up
the mass of society. Here are some them of:
Beef8 to 12 cents a pound; veal the same ;
lamb and mutton 8 to 10 cents a pound ; chick
ens, very scarce, from 18 to 31 cents a piece.
Wheat bread 5 cents for 15 ouuces; rye bread
the same; corn meal $1 to $1 25 per bushe
of 48 pounds ; potatoes 37 to 50 cents a peck ;
peas 31 cents a peck ; strawberries 25 to 37 J
cents a quart; early York cabbages 12 cents
a head and small at that. Every thing else in
this proportion. Pork and lard is 12 cents a
pound, and this a swine growing region too!
Well-a-day?these prices can't always contin
ue. There's some comfort in that, even, if we
starve in the interim. We had almost forgot
to say that butter is now from 25 to 31 cents.
Adams & Co's Express.?See advertise
