Oar intelligence from the northern
counties is of the most cheering charac
ter. The iron region is said to be in a
tremendous state of "commotion."" irvin
and Patton are all the go, and ShunTc and
Longstreth are hardly thought of. It will
be Temembered that the northern coun
ties heretofore -renerallv defeated the

"Whig candidates, but the people in that
region are much engaged in the coal and
iron business, tnd having been, in com
mon with their fellow -citizens through-
out the State, cheated "by the Locofoco (
leaders in 18-11, are determined to go fori
Polk and Shunt no -longer. They now
s oy, if .-the Whig counties will do their
2aty, they of the north will this year
wheel into the "Whig line and give an o-verwhelmin-vote
for Irvin and Patton.
"We can vouch for the Whigs of Somer
set, that try will do their duty.
Latest from Mexico.
"We have later intelligence from the
city of Mexico. It is stated that propo
sitions for peace were rejected, and that
hostilities had re-commenced on the 8th
September. A battle was fought in which
the Mexicans were badly used up. Our
troops had possession of the principal
' streets and had driven the Mexican for
: ces toward the Plaza. Gen. Worth was
badly, though not mortally wounded.
Herrera, the Governor had recommended
to the citizens men, women and chil
dren to throw stones from the roofs of
the houses upon the Americans. High
ly important intelligence may therefore
be expected from Mexico by the next ar
rival. ESTFnends of the Tariff friends of

the fact that he ght3 in the American ar

Since the Muhlenberg men in Berk3

we have to say on the subject is, that if
it should turn out so, our mountain bovs

be governed by circumstances. Should

Locofocoim is bent upon prostrating the Whig, and
Antimasonic party in Somerset county- To this end the
Loeoloco leaders have coaxed out several volunteer candi
dates, by -which means they expect to divide and distract
the Vhigs and A nti masons and defeat the regular ticket.
We therefore warn the Vhig and Antimasonic voters to
he. on their.guard. Every.efiort will he made at the elec
tion houses to get you tovote some of the volunteer tick
ets. ..-You will he coaxed, cajoled, and bantered and bul
lied. But w e know you too well as to suppose that you could
hel
c led astray by men who each
two abused and villified you
h
remember how they villified
uer, Gen. Uarrison, Gen. Markle and lienry Ulay, ami
how bitterly -they denounced you for supporting those pa
triots. ! We have therefore ' noVears. that you will now be
come the tools of those very. Locofocos and help them to
break downyourown party; but we deem it our duty to
warn you against their tricks.
Every Whig and Antimason ought to feel proud of this
county. Such is the reputation which the Whigs and
Antimasons of Somerset 'have acquired by. their large rna-
jorities, that the eyes of the
eilcj year anxiously directed
hndv wants to hear first from homerset. We have ai
ready numerous calls for the returns of next Tuesday's
election, and we have promised our friends throughout
the State to give them a good account of the doings of the
Whigs and Antimasons on that day, and hope w e shall
have the pleasure of fulfilling that promise.
But a few days remain now till the election, and we
would embrace this last opportunity that presents itself
to address the Whig and Antimasonic voters prior to that
dav, and say unto them: Be up and doing! The time for
discussion is past: that for action has arrived. Work now!
Work from this day on! Arouse your neighbors! Tell
them that the Locos are trying to "come it over" them.
Stir them up to activity. Bring them out early on the
day of election. Furnish them with tickets. See to it
that they are neither deceived nor cheated by the Loco
loco leaders in your district. Pull all togetherand the
result will be another glorious victory!
The Locofoco Leaders.
One would have supposed that the rebuke which the
Locofoco leaders received from the Whigs of Somerset
county in ISii, should have
a lesson of honesty ;uui fair dealing for the future: but it
seems that they have practised trickery, falsehood and
deception so long and so often, that they cannot find it in
their natures to abandon them, and would rather suffer
defeat than to deal with honorable weapons. Notwith-

which this monster does not pass, for be
assured while it may be beneficial to
those counties through which it is con
structed and to'the rich stockholders, yet
it will operate as blight and mildew upon
the balance of the State, not only because
it forbids forever the construction of a
like work in those t parts of the State
which have hitherto been deprived of this
forbidden fruit, a competitor of onr Pub
lic works (using, as it intends doing, a

Isaac Friedline & Daniel Flick,
Who is Isaac Friedline that is out in
the Loco Foco paper for the Assembly !
said an honest old farmer to me the other
day. I answered that he was a merchant
of Lavansville, professedly a Whig, is
Coroner of the County and has 2 years
to serve. Very well, said he, just let him
stav at home. .
Who is Dankd Flick, that has announ
ced himself also in lhe Locofoco paper
as a candidate for Treasurer X said anoth
er Whig to me. He is a professedly
Whig merchant of Somerset borough, in
partnership with John Neff, Esq., one of
the bitterest Locos in the county, in tho
Tanning business, &c. Ah! yes, said
the eld man, I sec all about it,NelT and
Flick, being in the Mercantile and Tan
ning busines?, want to start a kind cf bank
with the aid of the Treasury, under the
name, I suppose, of the. Merchants and
Tanners' Bank, John Nefl, President, and
Daniel Flick, Cashier." Cute fellows!
but they can't' come it. 1 I, and so 'do all
my neighbors, go, for the Ticket, tho
whole Ticket, and nothing but the Ticket.
And so I think, Mr. Editor, the whole
Anti-Masonic Whig party will go. They
resolved at lasf May - Court to have a
ticket formed tho Convention on the 5th
of July did frame a ticket of good, hon
est and capable men. Two large meet
ings of the people at' August Court rati
fied the nominations made and pledged
their unanimous support to the ticket.
Will they forfeit their pledges? Will
they support disorgauizers for the benefit
of Locofocos ? No,' I answer, and no
will the "frosty sons of thunder" answer
at the ballot box on next Tuesday. C.
