""toS CANAL COMMISSIONER. TT4 SPRfi M. POWER. of Mnucnis cor.NTY. FOR CONGRESS: AXDREW STEWART, of Fayette County. COUNTY SSWBTSNC. A meeting of the Whigs and Antima sons of Somerset county will be hold at the Court House in Somerset, on Tues day evening of Court week, (1st Septem ber.) to gi-'c an expression of opinion on he leading questions which now agitate the country. The Hon. Andrew Stewart, it is ex pected, will be present to address the meeting. The friends of a protective Tariff ami cf domestic industry generally are invi ted to attend, it being probable that mea sures for the furtherance of these objects will be taken bv the meeting. Many. An Apprentice Wanted. A Boy from the country will be taken as an apprentice at this office, if applica tion be made soon. Upon what grounds do the friends of Mr. Wcyand place his election? Is' it pretended that he is better, o even as well qualified, to represent the people of this District in Congress as Mr. Stewart is? Would he have as much influence, if elected, as Mr. Stewart has? Would he bring forward or advocate measures better calculated to advance the interests of his constituents and of the na tion than those which Mr. Stewart lias trough forward or advocated? Would he use his best eflorls lo have the Tariff of 1612 re-established, and if lie did, would he be likely to accomplish as much as Mr. Stewart would? i Js it proposed to carry any new mea sures through Congress in regard to which Mr. WcYand's views differ from those of Mr. Stewart? If so, what are those measure?? WhatnreMr. Weyand's views of the American Tariff of 1842 and of the Brit ish Tariff of IS Hi respectively? Is he in favor of the former or of the Jattcr? These are questions which the people of this District have a right to ask and ex pect to be answered. Let Mr. Weyand's friends attend to them; let them "define" their candidate's "position," unmask their batteries, and show the public where they, and he are to be found. The lectin? next Tuesday. Wc expect to see a good turn-out to the meeting at the Court House next Tuesday evening. The course of policy which the Administration and its friends have adopted, demands from the people an ex pression of their sentiments, and espe cially that part of it which will soon press" so heavily upon the industry of the coun try as to depress trade and prostrate labor. All the other bad acts of the Administra tion misiht have been borne in silence, but the destruction of the protecive Tariff is a measure which deserves to be condemn, cd by every freeman in the nation. Whatever others may think, or say, or do, wc feel assured that the hard-fisted yeo manry of Some rset county will speak out their sentiments as becomes fteemen and republicans. COThc British Tariff Act and the Subtrcasury Act are twin measures. Un der the operations of the one, the indus try of the nation will be prostrated; and by the other, a large portion of the gold and irrr now in general use will be with drawn from circulation. The result wi!j be that Banks, however solvent, will be compelled to curtail their discounts and others, having but a small capital, will explode. A general crash among bu siness men will follow and then, in or der to blindfold the people, the Adminis tration and its friends will cry out against -the Banks! the rascally Banks!" as I cing the cause of all the mischief. Mark our words! AFFIIGI'RIATIOXS. The amount of money appropriated during the late session ofCongress,we learn is sixty one millions of dollars, and it was stated in the Senate by Mr. Allen, a few days prior to the adjournment that it would be'evue necessary to appropriate some thirty-five millions more the next session on account of the Mexican war. "Hur rah for Polk, Dallas and Texas!" Whtro are those banners? New" State. Wisconsin , been admitted as a Stale of the Union. ' Tfic Cpirsrcssiona I; Election. Though our opponents in this- connty arc apparently passive in regard to the Congressional election, we understand that extraordinary efforts are being made, in a quiet way, in behalf of their candidate. It will be well enough for the Whigs to bear this fact in mind, lest they be found "napping' at a time when they, ought to be up and doing. STAT I' ELECTIONS- Ivdiaxa. Whitcomb, Locofoco, is elected Clovcrnor by about 1000 votes; the Locos have a majority of 2 in the Senate, and the Whigs a majority of 8 or 10 in the House.

We are much gratified to observe by the Grcensburgh papers, that a number of citizens of Westmoreland and Allegheny counties contemplate erecting a menu ment on the spot where in 1763 was fought Col. Bouquet's memorable Battle with the Indians, in which the latter were completely routed, and in consequence of which their incursions upon the frontier settlements ceased for a season. A three days' encampment of the volunteer com panies of the above named counties is to be held on the Battle Ground, commen cing on the 9th day of September, and in the course of which the monument is to be erected. - C7sSpurious 82 bills on the Northern Bank of Kentucky, Lexington, are said to be in circulation.

The Issue In October Xcxt: JAS. m. power AND THE Whiir Tariff of '42. WM. B. FOSTER AND THE British Tariff of '45. IC?" People of Pennsylvania, says the Reading Journal, here is the issue fairly stated. The election of JAMES M. POWER will be rcgirded rdl over the Union as evidence not to be - misunder stood, that PENNSYLVANIA is not to be PROSTRATED IN THE DUST, or her honest voters CHEATED and HUMBUGGED with impunity while every vote polled FOR WILLIAM B. FOSTER will be deemed an expression in favor ol FREE TRADE and the BRITISH TARIFF of 1840. Elections. State elections were held on Monday, August 3d in Alabama, Kentucky, Indi ana, Illinois, and Missouri; and also took place in North Carolina and Tennessee on Thursday, Augutst Gth.

The Philadelphia Pcnnsylvanian,which is one of the organs of the Administration, holds this language : 'But there is no middle ground to take in such a crisis as this. He that is not with the Democracy of the Union, whatever else may be said to the contra ry, is against it. ' Let us be understood. Our meaning is clear, that while the State of Pennsylvania ha3 its own notions in regard to protection, she is not the less a member of the great political church, nor does it follow that she should divide from her friends even in thought. Those who advise a different course those who ask her to separate from the Democratic party of the Union, on -this subject are either her worst enemies, or their own." This is plain enough. , The Adminis tration have determined to resort to the policy of whipping-in.' All who have the independence and moral nerve to ad vocate Protection lo Home Industry, as opposed to the doctrines of the National Administration, arc' to be denounced as traitors to the party. Senator Cameron and his friends, will please take notice, and govern themselves accordingly. Lan. Tribune. FREE TRADE. On the strength of Peel's bill, a cargo of Wheat went out of New York, purchased at $1,00 per bush el and has sold in Liverpool at 70 els.

The United States Government has purchased two ; propeller steamboats, to ! ply on the Rio Grande. j A STRANGER IN WALL STREET. The following youngster from Wash ington mads his ; appearance in Wall street yesterday and attracted a great deal of attention.' The dear little thing is not christened yet- no body knows what , to call it; but the lover3 of mammon in that wicked street, after fondling it over - for a while, turned it right into a bank note and it is passing as currency, just as if it was worth Si 00! - - WAR WARRANT, No.- 3 rrashinnrton, 271 h, June, 1 810 o" .

This note, however, has been beautifully engraved for the War Department, and is issued from it just ss a SI 00 bank note is from any bank in Wall street. It passes just as auy other bank note docs, and is rather better cur rency, because it is without discount in any other part of the Union. So we have at last, and already, under this hard-money Administration, the Government bank ing system established both in the War and Treasury Departments. N. Y. Ex press. From the Baltimore Patriot. THE BRITISH TARIFF. The following article is from the pen of an old Democrat, who aided in the election of Gen. Jackson, and who sup ported the election of Mr. Polk; but ins democracy does not make him the enemy of the laborers of his country and the ad vocate of the laborers of foreign countries as it does a large portion of "the party." Mr. Editor . The "Argus" of Tues day last has copied an article from the "New Haven Register," giving a list of several articles of the new British lanff, compared with the law of 1812, which arc erroneous in many particulars. The article says that Hats, fur, pay nndcr the new law, 50 per cent., and un der the present law 35. The fact, is, under the present law fur hats are at 50 per cent, and the new at 3.0 per cent. Also, the article says, that Boots and Bootees, under the new law, pay 30 per cent, and under the present law 31. The fast is, Boots and Bootees, under the present law, pay a specific duty of 125 cents per pair; and Shoes and Pumps a duty of 30 cents per pair. The friends of the new British Tariff Law arc making many erroneous state ments to decive the people. Silk hats, under the present law, pay 100 cents each specific duty, and un der the new British law 25 per cent, ad valorem, which is not 25 cents each. Wool hats, under the present law, pay 18 cts. each specific duty, and under the new British law pay 30 per cent ad valorem, which is not ten cts., each.' " . The tailors, boot and hoe makers, weaveis, tobaconists, cigar makers, and many others,havenot one half of the protec tion under the new British law that is given them under the present law. Under the law of 1812, -fur hats pay 50 per cent, ad valorem; boots and bootees 125 cents per pair; shoes and pumps 30 cents per pair; wool hats 18 cents each; silk hats 100 cents each. S. EacIiSt:? Cut. . The loco foco papers of this State which had the boldness to denounce M'Kay's British Tariff Bill before they knew what their leaders would finally permit them to do, arc almost unanimous ly clawing off and making humble apolo gies for their sins, or more humble ones for those who foisted the infamous measure npon the country. This we expected and predicted. Men who are not their own masters have no right to speak until thev arc told what to sav by those who control their thoughts and actions, ancl those who have done so on the Tariff business have discovered to their sorrow what perfect slaves they are. Even the Spirit of the Times, of Philadelphia, which was for a time qnitc rabid, is now as tame as a kitten. Not a word has it uttered for a week on the treason of Dal las, and not a word will it utter hereafter. And what is more, its editor and all con nected with it would vote again to-morrow for Polk and Dallas, if they were the condidates of the party. And so with every other loco foco editor - in the State. They can howl for a day when de struction comes upon the country, but the next day all is forgot. Lancaster Union. Whooping Cough. -We arc indebted to Mr. J. N. Brown, of our city, says the Baton Rouge" Gazette, for the following receipt, which has been very successfully used in his family as a remedy for the whooping Cough : "Equal portions of linseed oil, honey and New England rum mixed together; give one table spoonful every time the patient coughs effects a cure in a few days."
