In accordance with the established usa ges of the party in other counties, and es pecially in pursuance of a resolution u nanimously adopted by the County mee ting on Monday evening of last Court, thc Antimasons and Whigs of Somerset County will meet in their several town ships and boroughs on Saturday the 3d day of July 1847, to elect two persons from each district as delegates to a County Convention, to meet at the. Court House on the following Monday (5th July) at 1 o'clock P. M. to put in nomination suita ble candidates to be supported by the par ty at the general Election in October next. It is suggested that the Antimasons and "Whigs of the townships assemble at 2 o'clock P. M. those of the boroughs at 7 P. M. tj elect delegates, and that they meet at the usual place ol holding the election in their several districts. SAM'L. W PEARSON. Chairman of County Committee. June lit, 1847. C7We are requested to state that Dr. J. R.

Their labor is lost; their la mentations are unheeded; their hopes are blasted; in a word, they are "headed," and all that remains for them is to "grin and bear." 'Old Zack 's at Monterey, Bring on your James K. Polker!" C7Thc Pittsburgh American notices the arrest in that city of a burglar, named Miller, and relates of him that recently, after having rifled the clothes and bureau drawers in a room in Allegheny, where the owner and his wife were sleeping at the time, he seized a bucket of water and "threw it, in wicked wantonness over the sleeping' pair, rousing them with dreadful alarm at the deluge, as they at the mo ment supposed, from the Allegheny ri rcr," and then made good his retreat.

If the Whigs make proper exertions, the next general election will give them an easy and decisive victory. Locofoco ism by its meandering course by being almost everything by turns, and nothing longer than it subserves its immediate purposes has become so notoriously un popular that it will be next to impossible again to rally its broken fragments. The only thing in which its members have ever been stable, is the holding on to the spoils cf office; and in this respect Gov. Shunk is not a whit behind the foremost, he having managed to get more than his share in proportion to the amount of ser vices rendered. He has never been fit for a leader, but his has been the post of an inferior. Never able to originate any thing himself, but ever ready, for a con sideration, to carry out the plans of oth ers, he has rendered his party some ser vice; but as an evidence of his having been amply remunerated for all he ever did for it, I need only refer to the fact that he has been a hanger on a sort of "sap sucker" at the Treasury for twen ty five years or upwards. Neither his abilities for he has none nor his public services give him any claim upon the peo ple; and whatever claims he may have had upon his own party for either clean or dirty work performed, have long since been cancelled by the spoils of office be stowed upon him. Willi such a man as a leader, added to the weight of odium that attaches to it besides, what can Loco focoism expect to accomplish at the ensu ing election? Certainly little, if anything; and, as before remarked, if the Whigs do but exert themselves the victory will be theirs. They need only bring out their forces, in order to make that victory de cisive and overwhelming; and that they will do so, is inferred from the fact that they are united as one man, and conse quently will march to battle together in solid and unbroken column. Fur the Herald. Why is it? Mr. Row: Why is it that the people of So merset County have not made an eflbrt to raise something tor the starving Poor in Ireland and Scotland? While our garners have been filled to overflowing, and we have been receiving the bounty of the Beneficent Giver of all good, thousands upon thousands in those unhappy Coun tries are famishing and dying for the want of bread and meat. Can we hear of their distress and remain unmoved and indiffe rent? Have we no bowels of mercy and compassion? Have we forgotten the di vine precept that they that give to the poor lend to the Lord, and that it is more blessed to give than to receive? I hope better things of our citizens, and though it is lung delayed it is better to do a little now than to give nothing at all. I feel satisfied that there are hundreds of our citizens who won'.d feci it a privilege to contribute something for this purpose, and all they want is for some persons to make a beginning. I would suggest that the beginning be made at Somerset. Let there be a public meeting called, a treasu rer appointed, and let this meeting appoint committees in every township and bor ough in the county, and let these commit tees call on the people and receive what they are willing to contribute for this worthy purpose and forward o the trea surer, to be forwarded on to the relief of the distressed. If this plan or some oth er one be adopted I predict that something handsome will be realised. If but one single v?gon load of produce would be sent from this county it might be a great blessing to many What say you friends and fellow citizens? A FRIEND TO THE POOR. " THE WAILS OF THE UNION Mr. Nicholas, a Loco Foco member of the St, Senate of Louisiana, and for merly a U. S. Senator from that State, introduced a series of resolutions recom mending Gen. Taylor as a suitable can didate for tho Presidency. The Union thus plaintively and characteristically re fers this movement : "With all the respects which we feel for Mr, Nicholas, wc consider the propo sition fcr a legislative nomination of Gen. Taylor as not in the best taste ; as extra official, and not as an ex officio act of a Senator of Louisiana, It is suitable nei ther to the plaee nor to the time. The war is not concluded The curtain has not dropped upon the military conduct of General Taylor, Other generals, too may arise to dispute the honor with him, and already we hear of General Scott being named by his friends in con nexion with the office. It is reasonable, too, in the midst of a foreign war, to seek the highest civic magistrate in the world in the midst of the camp in the person of a triumphant general and before the people have had time to cool down their enthusiasm, to examine the civil qualifi cations, to ascertain his political opin- ions When did the editor of the Union be come a convert to the doctrine that "legis lative nominations" for the Presidency are in bad taste ?? It is nothing new for legislative bodies at the South to thus give expression to their preferences. It has been done, over and ovef again, with no word of dissent, so far as our memory serves us, from the venerable editor of the Union. Nor would there be any ob jection to his movement now, were it not that Gen. Taylor is a Whig, . Other plans had been arranged by the National Regency. Gen. T's name was not in the list ofa their candidates. Kis nomi nation, therefore, by the Louisiana legis lature, might materially affect their prog ramme of the campaign. Hence the U nion's anxiety ; and not because their is any impropriety, or any thing unusual, in the recommendation of a candidate for the Presidency by a Southern legislature. "This nomination should not be made," says the Union, "because the war is not yet concluded. The curtain has not drop ped upon the military conductor 'General Taylor. He has thus far been very suc cessful, and reaped a great many laurels, in spite of the attempt of the administra tion to bring him into disgrace ; but he may yet be whipped, or make some blun der, which will prove him to be neither a skilful general nor a brave man. Wait therefore, until the war is ended !', But the editor of the Union must be very .ig norant of human nature, and know but very little of the generous impulses of the American people, if he supposes he can divcrt-the current of popular enthusiasm from "Old Rough and Ready," and con centrate it upon sonic miserable mousing political grimalkin at Washington or else where, by any such logic as this. "But," continues the crafty old scribe, "Scott may yeteclipsef Taylor. Popu lar enthusiasm is easily excited ; and gen erally follows with the greatest intensity the latest exploit. The victory of Cerro Gordo has been achieved since the battle of Buena Vista was fought ; and Scott may be in the halls of the Montezumas before Taylor can find another opportu nity to break a mexican lancp or the head of a Ranchero. And even already, be fore the Capital is taken, Scott is named by his friends in connection with the of fice." What complacency is here ! The Union, with its innumerable echoes, has been doing little beside laughing and sneering at Gen. Scott for the last twelve months. They have rung all the chan ges upon "the fire in the rear," and "the hasty plate of soup !" Audjyet the Uni on can now, for a reason less than skin deep, talk gravely about the popular en thusiasm which Scott's gallantry has a roused ! The object of this hypocrisy is appa rent. The only hope of the wire-pullers at Washington is to excite a spirit of hos tile rivalry between these two gallant men. But for the developements of pub lic sentiment in fovor of Gen. Taylor, Gen. Scott might have been, the second time, refused the command in Mexico. When this request was first denied, the denial was based upon the apprehension that his success would render him a for midable rival to the loco foco aspirants for the Presidency. But when it was found that Taylor was likely to carry off the laurels which they were afraid Scott would pluck, the latter was sent to nulli fy the former's advancing popularity. There is no danger, however, that this trick will not work ; as it certainly will not, unless the Union, afier its perseve ring assault upon Gen. Scott, can con vince the world, either that he is a much greater man than Taylor, or that the I nomination of anv military man for ihe Presidency would be unconstitutional, contrarv'to the usunges of Virginia demoe racy, and in violation of the resolution of "08 ' The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun who is good Polk author ity, says the following are supposed to be the principal features to be embraced in the Mexican treaty for peace : 1st. Mexico is to pay off her old scores and the expense of tho war. 2d. to guarantee the constitution of '24, and free trade: 3d. To cede the Californias to the U, States and the right of way through Nor thern Mexico to their ports on the Pacif ic. 4th. To allow a railroad or caEal a cross the Isthmus of Tchuantepec, to be free to all nations. '5ih. To permit the peaceful residence of American citizens on her Territory and soil, and hi regard as sacred the lives and property of all travellers from the United States. 6th, To renounce forever all claims to Texas, to the Rio G rande, and to return all the archives taken from San Antonia during the revolution, and all Papers rela ting to land claims and titles In that State. 7th. Free navigation of the Rio Grande from its mouth to its source. 8th. An alliance offensive and defen sive, against the future interference of European powers on the American Con tinent. Important Oocumrnt. Amongst the papers found in the car riage sf Santa Anna Captured by Gen. Scott at Cerro Gordo was the original pass sent to him by James K. Polk, Pre sident of the United States.

The Glasgow Herald of the. 3d instant o-ires th.3 particulars of a late shipwreck on the west coast of Scotland, attended with a fearful loss of life, as derived from three seamen, the only survivors out ol two hundred and fifty persons on board, who arrived at Glasgow on the 1st in stant. "The vessel was the brig Exmoulh,ot Newcasde, of 323 tous, Isaac Booth, master, bound from Londonderry to Que bec. Her crew consisted ot eleven men, and she had on board as passengers about 240 emigrants, principally small farmers withjtheir families. There were also a number of women and children going out to join their male relatives who had al ready settled in Canada ; and in the cabin were three young ladies, two of them sis ters going to their hemes at St. Johns, New Brunswick. Among the passengers were only about sixty men. "A gale set in very soon after the brig lost sight of land, which was on Sunday afternuon, April 25, and continued to in crease in. violence ui.tl Wednesday mo. ning, when she struck on the western coast cf the island of Islay. After the first blow she was .dashed broadside a gainst the lofty rocks three times ; at the fourth the mainmast went by the board, falling into a chasm of the rocks. "In the maintop, at this lime, were the captain, who had stationed himself there for a better look-out, and three seamen ; the captains son, a lad of fifteen, was a slecp below. When the mast fell into the chasm the three seaman, John Ste vens, William Couhheart, aud George Lightford, succeeded in scrambling along until they gained a footing on the crags, the darkness being total. J7 The captain spoke to them, and was about to follow, when a mighty wave swept over the rock and in its recoil hurled ths fragments of the mast and the captain back into the sea and droveihe brig to a greater distance from the shore, thus rutting off the only chance of escape for those on board. The three seamen contrived to maintain their position on the crags, though the waves dashed over them, and after a time suc ceeded in finding a crevice, where they remained in tolerable salety until day light, when thev gained the summit of the cliff and soon obtained relief at a farm house. "They heard the brig rapidly dashed and ground to pieces, and all on board must have perished. At the date :oi the latest advices from the island about twenty bodies had come ashore, principally le malcs ; one was a little boy. All were terribly mangled by being dashed against lhe rocks. Other bodies were seen float ing in the surf, but no boat dare approach them." Two individuals, Reyall, and Brown, have been convicted, in the U. S. court at Baltimore, of counterfeiting the coin of the United States. They were sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. "Pa, what do they mean by raw sol- diets ?"
