If yuu vote for IRVIN, we will go back 'to the good old ways of doing our nation al affmrs. The Sub•treasury Law will be , expunged from our statute Books. The toil and manufacture of the poor will be protected, and the palmy days of true Re. publicanism will again come. If you vote for WILSON, you vote to have our country aver run with a Standing Army, and proud,*and pusilanimous strut ters in epauletts, who can order and di- rect the free men of our land, who they are bound to obey, at the expense of their 'telt likrill.

If you vote for IRVIN, you record your vote "AGAINST the REDUCTION of the POOR MAN'S PRICE OF TOIL" —you vote to bring back to its former honesty and purity, a government that has been ruined, disgraced, and rendered Bankrupt by the folly, the madness, and wickedness of the officers of the people. If you vote for WILSON, you declare, as did one of his party, "perish credt— perish commerce—perish every thing." If you vote for IRVIN, you add you r • voice to the many who think credit has made our colintry what it is, and that credit alone will keep her safe in her on. 'card course of prosperity and glory. If you vote for WILSON, you give the ter and unrelenting foes of Geneial Harrison, an opportunity to exult in a tri umph over him, even without his name being before you at the time. If you vote for IRVIN, you commence the work right. We begin by sustaining the friends of Harrison, and of giving a glorious earnest of what we feel for that much abused but honored Old Hero.

They would be January, '4l, and procure the passage of ungrateful then, did they not repay hi' January, law, to make the Banks that suspend kindness by a like return—when power and patronage furnished them with tl e thereafter, forfeit their charters. The means. answer is very muck to the point. .11 In the good old times of Jefferson De• !they (the Banks) with such long indul mociacy, it nas a , cardinal doLtrine of 'genre, sheuld AGAIN suspend, I most that sage "that when public q . , , ,Y2cers tnin—!certainly will.

Stuart of Lewistown, has ad dressed a letter to Dr. Ard, the Lewis town Bank's candidate fur Senate, and asks him two very same questions. We presume he was led to do so in order to satisfy some of the Anti. Bank Loco FOCOS, that Dr. Ard is a most excellent hater of Banks, notwithstanding he was a Bank director, and about one quarter owner the Bank. The questions are so direct and cmprehcmive we cannot refuse them a place, and also the .equally open and candid answer of the Dr's. The whole is as pretty a got up humbug, Ls - was ever seen—gut up for two purposes—one t o make the unsuspecting among the Loc o Focos say he was an anti-batik titan , and t he other to give the candidate a chance to show some of his Bank friends that he really was not. But here are the ques tions as published in the last 'Advocate." "Will you use your beat exertions to compel all the banks of the State to re sume specie payments on the 15th of Jan miry next, and procure the passage of a law which will cause the charters of banks to be forfeited that may suspencd specie payments thereafter and also to reform the Banking system generally, so as to make it inure conductive to the gen eral welfare than it is at present ? • Will you pledge yourself to support fully, and to give your constant aid in carrying out the principlea of the Demo cratic party 1' Then we will give the Doctor's answers Ile answers the last questions first, and the answer is like the question. It means nothing—it means any thing—it means every thing. Here it is. "The principle of the democratic party —the greatest good of the greatest num ber —opposition to nillainlies of ever% kind and character—a ration of bani and state—a thorough reformation of thi banking system of the county. hest. principles will in me always find, ilnoi an able, at least a firm and decided advo. cate." So you can see that the worthy anti. bank candidate, is going his death against monopolies—for a separation of bank and state—and bank reform. Is it not a little strange that when lw has had control over a little monopolizing Bank, for a number of years, he never suggested some of his thorough Bank re li.tormatiou—"la how wonderlul" Nest is the sticking point. how shrewd to ask a question of a candidate— l•will you support a law of the land? and, !how difficult to answer, yet with what en. 'orgy does the Doctor grapple with the difficulty and danger. But as there is Mali E EL ECTIOA The Harrison men in Maine have car ried the whole state, as we informed our readirs last week. Yet are the Van Bu ren men so well assured that the result of that election must send terror and die• may into their ranks, that they are now busy circulating, that the fact of Kent's election is another /I hig lie. The two Loco Foco Journals of ow 'county have said in their papers that Fair field, the Van Buren candidate for '.3ov. ernor, was elected, when they knew sucl was not the truth. It is truly gratifying, however, to sec that some of their editors are not su aban cloned to any thing like truth, that the.' freely admit that they have been beaten, and. much to their astonishment, sadly beaten in Maine. Peter Bay, Esq, the gentlemanly and - excellent editor of the "American Sentinel," of Philadelphia, says that it is a poor business for thei, editors to attempt to decieve their re ders about Maine. That it would , wiser and mom to their credit if the . would ackno%%led,;e that they were bea ten, and sot about trying to redecii their falling fortunes. The Meetings of the People. Almost every township in our county has held meetings in favor of the gallant Old Soldier; and they are emphatically the meetings of the people. They come up in hundreds from their fields, and join in the universal shout of "hurrah for Harrison." The Loco Feces have attempted to raise meetings throughout the county, but they have met with sad reverses. In some of their strongest townships, they have been unabled to get men enough to make their officers, and they returned home—that is their "lown orators"—with out being able to vent their spleen against Old "Tip." In other places they had a . .miserable account of empty benches," and spent their wind work on the empty ,pace. Take every evidence that we cqp . obtain, and they are destined, not onl to defeat, but to a complete aniltilation in honest old Huntingdon. Good ! We are particularly rejoiced to see that our friend Cress%vell has, thus publicly, "unhooked" himself from any wish to in- I jure the hopes and bright prdfipects of the! friends of Harrison. This is a time when nothing should be done to lay a straw in the way of the triumph of principles, over th e corruptions of power. Mr. Cresswell has, undoubtedly, his Own views ari g ht and wrong; we unhes itatingly say, we think him honest in those views. But he has shown himself equal to the task. He has sacrificed personal opinions upon the sacred altar of public good. Ile has publicly declared that he will, with his own hand, assist in rol ling that "BALL" which he, as well as all see, must crush the struggles of party, to oppress the people. ,64 U'nktook 9 d 99 FELLOW CITI'LENS, The present. is the hardest time that any one man could select, or happen to tie lowid hanging un Ihis own hook. The party harness appears to fit amazingly tight, all round. May be it is all right, for some important prin ciples in government, are by the present contest, to be either established or discar ded. I hope that true Republican princ pies may prevail. I think I hold such myself, and that the Whig party do, is now to be decided. At the present juncture, I, in order that there may be fair play and no gouging, decline tes ting the strength of my independent HOOK at the crming election. Therefore lam no longer a candidate, but go in for the election of GE:NER 4L WM. HENRY HARRISON, and every candidate on the Harrison ticket, deserving the sup port of an independent freeman. • Very reepectfuly, Yours, &c. JACOB CRESSIFELL, Our County. Both the "Advocate" and "Standard," have in their last numbers, two or three columns, calling upon the tax payers of this county, to come forward and make a change in the county administration, be• cause the county commissioners have en tered into "vain, visionary, and extrava gant projects ;" and because, they have not had at all times money enough on hand, to meet all orders that may be drawn on the treasury. So weak, so paltry, and so contempti ble an attempt to gull honest people, titre never saw. They attempt to show that it is ittilly the fault of the county com mission:Ts—that, on account of the de• ranged state of ti:; currency, they cannot' collect the taxes. is there nn honest man among the whole list of collectors, who will not say that it is almost impossible to collect the taxes? Yet these very honest editors blame the county commissioners, Is there an honest man, who is acquain ted with the facts, that can point out one Angle bridge built by the co►nmissioners, 'that was not imperatively needed by the people in the neighborhood? Can you, gentlemen, who appeal so eloquently to the tax payers, name one bridge built, or contracted for, that ►s not required by the convenience and safety of the people? Or dare either of you pledge your party's in_ tluence and power, to stop the building of one bridge? You dare not! You know that the honest people of old honest Ilun ingdon, are willing to pay for conveni • once and security in trai ening. Dare you say that one part of the citizens of nis county have not as good a right to convenience of a bridge as another? us be a little more particular. Let ,nquire what these politicians do mean, they dare to answer; and well we know hey dare nut. Was it a "VAIN, VISION ARY, AND EXTRAVAGANT 'lmam" to build a bridge at Drakes ferry, to accom. modate the entire lower end of this min. ty, who might be obliged to attend at court? Did "WICKED FOLLY" suggest its erection? Is the building of the bridge ut Williamsburg, either VAIN, VIIIONARY, of EXTRAVAGANT ? Is the building of the bridge at Union Furnace, one of the sug..l grstions of "wicked lolly? WE PUB LICLY DARE either of the writers, in: either of the above named papers, to point out by name one single bridge erected by our board of commissioners, which was not first suggested by the people in the vicinity, and afterward recommended by one or wore grand juries. Come now,' - ; you honest truth lovers, speak out. WE PUBLICLY DARE the same persons to say that the people of one part of this county have not as good a right to a bridge for their convenience, as any other. It you are su much affected with this extrava gant and wicked fully why not speak to the , 'point. No! No! gentlemen, you dare nol. You know that the asoursg you have taken in this', is as false, as the cor: rupfion in Sour own ranks is foul; and like the fleeing felon, you have commenced bellowing stop thief! You Mr... Standard," seem disposed to direct your artilery at that 'climax of ex - travagance,' the new court house. Now my dear fellow, who recommended this thing? Have you forgotten that two grand juries, if not three, suggested and recommended it? Have you forgotten that when some of your "contract breakers" of Hollidays burg pettitioned another grand jury, and they refused to pay any attention to it but gave it to the court, that the Hon. Judge Burnsides said he would not notice such la piece ut madness and folly—that the court house was needed and that it should be built! Do tell us if all these things be !forgotten. The following statement shows how, (much the greater amount of) the funds of this county, received into the treasury for the last two years have been expended, the county tax assessed in each year being from 510,000 to $ll,OOO. The expendi tures fix the like objects during the pre• vious six or eight years have been in the same proportion. It is believed that no county of equal population, with its own funds, has, within the last ten years, erected as many necessary bridges as this county. ! -- COCLOCO"t CIDOCne. 0 00,42001C0 00C. , C, , V Is Cr) 11, .0 , 0 0 00 'V 4sl OA Cr ...

We farther ask every candid and honest friend and advo. cote of Mr. Van Buren whether he can or dare say, and does believe that the ex. penditures of the present General admin. istiation, for the like period of two years, (in proportion to the several and respec tive amounts received and expended, com pared with those of our county) have been as much for the public benefit. Shame! Shame! on such disgraceful hypocricy! You profess great regard for the peoples interest, you are horrorstrick en at The Bankrupt Treasury, you have both endeavored to show that "courtly orders" have been dishonored, because the treasury was bankrupt, and that consequently a change of officers would be advantageous. If the principle you pretend to support is a good one, let us carry it out. If it proves any thing it proves too much. These worthy writers assume that be cause all county orders are nut paid when presented, that consequently the treasury is bankrupt and the administration of the county affairs corrupt and ex travagant. Now, fellow citizens, if the position they take is a true one, what should be the foi e of their national and state administrations. What are the boasted Treasury shin plas ters but the lloatingorders of Van Buren's administration. They may tell you they will be redeemed at any time. But if they do, they do not speak truly, for tho NATIONAL TREASURY %VAS EMP TY and ten millions of shin plasters was asked for by Martin and h is cabinet to furnish some "borrowed capital" to save their credit, or more likely to pay their officers. LA us then conic to our own state. It is now tinder the guidance nt that prince of patriots, D. It. Porter. Ile is your man; and do you sirs, tell us what is the condition at our state treasury. Is it so very disreputab'e to an administra tion of a county, to be unable to answer all orders drawn thereon, how much more disgraceful fur a great and powerful state?
