County Meeting. The Democratic Antimasons Whigs of Somerset County are requested to meet in the Court House in Somerset on Tuesday evening of Court week, (August 31st) to respond to the nominations made by the County Convention, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed neces sary to insure the triumph of their pnn ciples and tlie election of their candidates at the approaching election. By order of the COUNTY COMMITTEE. uf the Locofoeo editors, as a to defeat Gen. Irvin, are pub lishing a letter from a Mr.

Flanigan, a us fended clergyman, to Gen. M.arklc. 1814, infl.which the writer peaks very highly of Gen'Irvin'i'and says the General's election to Congress was secured by the votes of the Caiho-j lies, influenced by him, the said Flanigan. We understood at the time the letter was lirst published in 1844, that the represen- lauons made or tne writer, in so lar as they related to Gen. Irvin, were pronunc- cd untrue by those acquainted with the facts; but whether they be true or false, wc cannot comprehend how they could militate against Gen.

Irvin. If true, they would only go to prove that all classes of men who are acquainted with Gen. Irvin think well of him. and if untrue, then, of course, they have no application to him. Iu anv event, the Catholics throughout the State will not thank the Locofoeo editors for bringing up a matter implicating prejudicing ouicrs againsi mem as rrcu gious denomination with a view of influ encing the pending election.

It is a base I electioneering scheme, which, like all! such schemes, must fail of accomplising its object. TIic American Arms nsrain Tri umphant, The City ofJUcxico taken! Our readers will rejoice with us in the intelligence of the eapluro of the city of Mexico by our army under Gen. Scott The accounts which wc publish to-day rive none ol the details, but niav. we ii 11 i .1 think, be relied on as regards the fact of I the city having been taken. This event must, if anything will, lead to a speedy peace between the two nations, Gen.

Scott has certainly won unfading laurels since assuming the command in Mexico, having taken every town, city and fortress that he has assailed. His conduct as a military commander is equalled only by that of Gen. Taylor, whilst the succes ses that have attended the eflbrts of each are unequalled in the history of war.

LOOK OUT!

Morehead 10th Gaines In the Ninth District Cox (Whig) is reported to be elected over his opponent, Mr. French. There are, however, three counties in this District not fully heard from. Two of these coun'ies will probably give a Loco Foco majority, and one a Whig majority. The Legislature of Kentucky will be strongly Whig.

Thcrc were two Whig candidates in this District Price and Adams. "The Second and Third Districts of Kentucky are in some doubt, which wc hope 10 clear up to day. INDIANA. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. District, 1st, Robert Dale Owen, L.

IVIiat the People The People remember that the Federal partv of the present day oppose the WAR WITH MEXICO; gives AID AND.

COMFORT to the enemy, and is emphatically the MEXICAN PARTY in these United States. Democratic U-nion. Exaclly The People remember the repeated attempts of the present Federal administration to tear the laurels Irom the brow of the noble old Hero of Buena Vista. The People remember that the Federal President gave the villainous SANTA ANNA a PASSPORT to return to Mexico lo unite, reinvigorate, concentrate the Mexican forces, and lead them lo battle tgainst a of Americans under General Taylor. The People remember the VOTE OF CENSURE passed upon General Taylor by.

the Federalists in the House of Representatives. The People remember that the Federalists DENOUNCED Gen. Taylor as a "Whig General," incompetent to command the army of occupation. The People remember, the repeated at tempts of the rcucralisis to hUl r.K Tvinn IM GEN. TAYLOR IN COM "UI'J, v.

nori.Imhlr l.nirrls. mid in whose euloirv Ar- II llll I 1 IV 111 UIUIJV1V1 IVliVU The People remember that the Federal President in his message announcing the victories jn Mexico purposely and pointedly omitted to mention the name of Gen Taylor. The People remember that the Federal ists have extend AID AND COMFORT to the enemy, by doinir all thev could to prevent ihe brillhnt achievemrnts of old ROUGH AND READY and bring dis-. grace upon the National flag. 1 lie People remember that while old ROUGH AND READY has been sav- ing vrith the Administration from disgrace, 1 the rer'3tn knowledge that it was straining every nerve to BREAK HIM DOWN, and while he has been winning brillhnt victories for his country the Federal President and the Federalists who follow in his train, have been rendering "AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY," not 'only in sending Santa Almonte and a score of other Mexican Generals back from banishment into Mexico, but in WITHDRAWING THE BEST HALF OF TAYLOR'S COMMAND from him, whereby Santa Anna, Mr.

Polk's ally, could meet and did meet old "Rough and. Ready" with four times his number of troops! The People remember that the Federalists are opposed to Protection of American Industry; and in favor of FREE TRADE and DIRECT TAXATION. The People remember that the Feder alists in 184 4 wickedly and wilfully DIv CEIVED them by pretending friendship for the Protective system, and shouting for "Polk, Dallas, Siiunk and the Ta rief of ISEtf. and that no sooner were they in power than they violated their solemn promises to the People, and forced the present obnoxious BRITISH rARII upon the country. The People remember that the Federal party of the present day are the lineal descendants of the TORIES OF THE REVOLUTION.

The People remember that during the last War- the Federalists were the BRIT ISH PARTY, and that James Buchanan, one of the leaders of the federal party OPPOSED DENOUNCED THE DEMOCRATIC WAR ADMINIS TRATION OF MIL MADISON, and declered that if he had a drop of Demo cratic blood in his veins he would let it out! The People remember that the Federal President who has furnished AID AND COMFORT to the enemy, bv passing Santa Anna back to Mexico, is the des cendant of one of the TORIES OF THE REVOLUTION. The People remember" that the Federalists are the enemies of the industrial classes, and are in favor of REDUCING THE WAGES OF AMERICAN WORKINGM EN, and placing them upon a level with the paupers of Europe. The People remember that the doctrine of the Federalists is to TAKE CARE OF THE RICH, and let the poor take care of themselves. The People remember that the Federal President is responsible for the loss of the gallant spirits who fell upon the battle fields of Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo and Vera Cruz, and they will not permit him to wiggle out of the responsibility. He it was who gave the miserable, intriguc- ing wretch Santa Anna, a FREE PASS into Mexico lo rally the Mexican army, and give it vitallity and strength.

for that PASSPORT, these batiles would not have taken place. The People remember that the Federal candidate for Governor, "old Shunk was a prominent participant in the Grand TARIFF SWINDLE of 1844 that he aided in the DECEPTIGN that was practised upon the people, by pretend ing to be in favor of the Tariff of 1842 and the fact of his now being the can didate of the partv thet passed the pre sent odious BRITISH TARIFF, and ad vocates that obnoxious Locofoeo measure, a TAX UPON TEA AND COFFEE, is a striking acknowledgment of the de ception, and renders him unworthy the confidence and support of the friends of Protection in Pennsylvania. The People remember that the Federal candidate for Governor has been in oflice for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, and re ceived from the public reasurv more than SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for his services, and they do not feel disposed to give the old pap-sucker an opportunity of pocketing NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE of the public money. The People remember that the Federal candidate for Governor charged the enormous sum of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS (or FIVE HAYS services as Clerk of the House of Representatives being just THIRTY DOLLARS A DAY or ten limes as much as the law entitled him to. The People remember that the Federal candidate for Governor, while Superintendent of Common Schools in 1810-41, SWINDLED THE STATE OUT OF and put it inta the pockets of his political associates.

We have the "documents" to prove it. The People WILL REMEMBER all these things, and will NEVER AGAIN CONFER POWER ON THE FEDE RALISTS. Death of George Rapp. The death of this eccentric man has come at last. George Rapp died at Economy on.

the 9lh instant, at the advanced age of nearly 92 years. Nearly half of this time Rapp was the moving spirit of the Economy Association, and to the end of his life had the command and respect of his associates. His influence was of no common kind, and exerted as was, produced no common result. What the effect of the death may be with the community among whom he presided, remains to be seen. The Economy Association has long been the subject of the scoffs and jeers of many who have sought rather to be curious than well informed in regard to its character.

Without much direct knowledge in tegard to Rapp and his associates, we venture the opinion that this community was conducted with more order and sobriety, more industry and more economy than many communities claiming to be much hotter than this. Pitt. Gaz. Shot his Wife by Mistake. -Dr.

Youghiogheny navigation Coni- panyv As the time approaches (the 23d inst. for opening books for receiving subscriptions to the stock of the Youghiogheny Navigation Company, it is desirable that full information be laid before die public, calculated to show the importance of the work and the advantages ibat may be expected to follow from its construction, lo the whole district of country through which it will pass and also to this city.

Of the various kinds of improvements auupicu muuerii uiuia iu idvimaie iraoc ft a. 1 1 ana travel, turnpikes, canais railroad, and that by dams and locks the latter has in most respects, greatly the advantage; in deed its only competitor is the rail road and this has the preference for the travel ler, only on account of speed. The system of locks and dams affords all the advantage of Steam Navigation, which even in point of speed does not fall short of that of rail roads. The cost of original construction is far less than that ol any other kind of public improvement. It is a remarkable fact that the system of dams and locks can be completed for any number of miles along a river for less than the expense of making a common turnpike the same number of miles.

The expense of keeping up an improvement of this kind is a mere fraction compared with that of rail roads. Indeed a large share of the income of rail roads is expended annually in repairs, re laying rails, locomotives, cars, wages of Engineers, Agents, while the rents from water power alone will go far to meet this expense. The improvement of the Youghiogheny river by dams and locks will open up a district of country equal to any other in Western Pennsylvania inj agricultural riches, and not surpassed even by the Allegheny region in coal, iron and lumber. The lower part of the river particularly abounds in coal of the very best quality and the upper in iron ore and lumber, as well as excellent coal. The opening up of a new avenue by which these staple articles can be brought cheaply to our market will add much to the wealth and prosperity of our city.

It will also materially swell the business ami profits of ihe Monongahela Navigation Improvement to which it will be come at onec an important feeder and on their account it is entitled to liberal aid from the Stockholders of that Company. West Newton which is now acorn- ft paratively obscure village would soon be come an important town, and as the dis tance by that place and Somerset from Pittsburgh to Cumberland is about thirty miles shorter than by Brownsville, a i line of boats and stages would in all probability soon divert a large share of travel to that route. McKeesport, with the advantages which this improvement would afford for manufactures in I'arious departments, as iron, glass, cotton, wool, and connected, as she is, almost as a suburb with Pitts burgh, would in a few years, rind her beautiful plain covered with factories and comfortable dwelling houses, and all the odier evidences of wealth and prosperity. If the improvement of the Youghiogheny, by dams and locks, can be carried up lo the foot of Laurel Hill, the strongest inducement will be held out to ths Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to rouse from their long and lethargic state of inactivity, and make a vigorous effort to carry out the original and magniflcicnt design of that Company the union of ihe waters of the Atlantic, and those of the Ohio river, at Pittsburgh, by a canal of larger dimensions, and greater capacity for business, than any other in the country. It seems to be generally forgotten, that twenty years ago, and before the Pennsylvania canal was constructed, this was the great national improvement project of the day that surveys of the whole line by Potomac, Wills Creek, river, and the Youghiogheny, were made by engineers under the direction of the United States Government that a canal sixty feet wide, and six feet deep, with an abundant supply of water, was declared entirely practicable, at a cost only about ouo half the sum that will be required to complete Dr.

McLanc's two per cent rail road of tunnels and viaducts from Cumberland to Wheeling and that lhc States of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, united in giving a charter, under which the company have, through many trials and difficulties, completed the work nearly to Cumberland. Is it not possible that the extension of slcam navigation to the baseof the Laurel Hill, on the very route designated, which in all probability, will be completed before many years, will lead to the ultimate completion of this truly great and national work? Whether this suggestion be entitled to any weight or not, the local iutcrcsls a-long lhc line, and the business and trade which it will immediately create, will warrant, and richly repay, all the expen diture necessary to make the improve ment authorized by the charter of the Youghiogheny Navigation Company. It is hoped, therefore, lhat all will assist in contributing moro or less, as their means and engagements will warrant, to complete this important object. S. Six Cents Reward.

Though Wright's Indian Vereta Pills have achieved triumph upon iri umph, in the cure of obstinate cases disease, even afier thev had been entire ly given up, and after all ether remedies had failed, yet their power of prevention may be justly esteemed their growing glory 'Storms," it is said, "purify the air, but storms Uo mischief also and are so far an evil.

Were it within human power to maintain the Electrical equilibrium between the earth and air, there would be no occssion for storms, for the air would always be pure. So of the human body. If kept free Horn morbid humors, the action is rego lar and healthy. But if those humors are allowed to accumulate, a crisis, or, in other words, a storm, will arise, which is always more or less dangerous. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are equally well calculated to prevent the storm, or to allay it when it comes.

But prevention is better than cure, besh'es being cheaper and less troublesome. The delay of a day mi the commencement of sickness has often proved fatal, and always renders ihe case more diffi cult to manage. Let the sickness be caused by changes of weaiher, high living, want of exercise, close confinement, functional derangement, or anything else, the effect upon the body is much the same -is equally dangerous, and is removable by the same means. Have you a cold? Let it not ripen into Consumption. Are you Pyspepiic? Beware of the hypochondria.

Two Pills taken em-v other night on an empty stomach, for a short timp, will, in nine cases out of ten, cure the Dyspepsia, and thereby drive away the legion of devils blue. ror Headache, no medicine is superior to fright's Indian Vegetable Pills. Costiveness, thai pro lific mother of disease, is caused by a torpid state of the liver, whieh these Pills effcciually cures. By striking at the mot of disease, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills nrevent all and cure all. They can hardly ever be taken amiss, if useu with common discretion; and we commend them to lhc use of those who have not vet tried them.

Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds; Some are coated with sugar; others are made to resemble in outward appearance the original medicine The safest course is, to purchase from the regular agents only, one or more of whom may be found in every village town in the state.
