'THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.—We invite at
tention to the Prospectus of this valuable
publication in our advertising columns. It
is decidedly the best mechanics' paper pub
lished in the United States.
THE NEW CLOTHING STORE.-At the new
Clothing store of M. CHTHA.N & CO., will be
found an extensive assortment of every arti
cle of wear to be desired by the male portion
of our community. Call and. examine their
stock, just opened. See advertisement in an

Surnavisort.—Jas. Dief'enbach, has been
appointed Supervisor of the Upper Division
of the Juniata Canal, in place of J. P. Hocr
ver, resigned. Mr. D. has been supervisor
on the Susquehanna canal, and is said to be
gentlemana every way compolent to discharge
the duties of the post.
THE F.u.s.—Our friends are making the ne
cessary preparation for the fair in October,
and are already offering specimens of vege
tables for our examination. From Mrs.
Jackson White we have received a dozen of
the largest and handsomest tomatoes. we
have - seen this season. Some person un
known also deposited in the properplace, in
our absence; a basket of very fine tomatoes.
They will please accept our thanks,, for 'these
handsome presents.
J. PORTER BRAWLEY.—This honorable gen
tleman ! is now in a fair way of being pro
moted to a position he has for years been en
titled to. We see it stated in several exchan
ges that be has lately been found in the com
pany of a runaway wife of a respectable gen
tleman of York State. It is to be hoped the
Democratic party, and the powers that be at
Washington, will now turn him loose with
the rest of the blackguards of the country.—
He has beeli - a - disgrace to the party long
enough.
WET NEXT ?—Some of the more desperate
of the opposition, we are informed, are quiet
ly circulating as a fact, a report that DANIEL
Hour; our candidate for Assembly, is of
foteign, birth. What object such of the oppo
nents of Mr. Hoc= can have in circulating
a falsehood so ridiculous, we cannot imagine,
unless it is to gain favor with their unprin
cipled dictators by attempting to deceive those
who are not as well acquainted with their
political §haracter as they should be. It
would be no, disgrace to Mr. Ilourz to be of
foreign' birth, but as he is not, we think it
proper to face his unscrupulous enemies with
the truth. ` Mr. Holm is an American born
citizen—an honest man—and the honest 'Ve
tere 'of the county have doubtless decreed
that he shall be elected by a handsome major-'
ity.
Ser The Philadelphia North American of
Friday contains Abe following: Another po

have the democratic array, perfect in its drill,
as it alwa,ys and. in possession of all the
offices, national and municipal, while on the
other side we have three fragmentary bodies

AMeriaan republican, meeting and resolving,
and working away as though each were -acre
of success some day or other. ,
Speaking of College Professors, the Pitts
burg Union, well remarks that they belong to
a class -of men whose principal businesS is to
endeavor to keep up a popular delusion as to.
their own importance. Accustomed to be re
garded with reverence and awe by "thestu
dents in the lecture room, where their oracles
are uttered without danger of contradiction,
it is by no means strange that -they should
manifest in their demeanor toward the world
something of the same vain, arrogant and
dictatorial spirit which they exhibit toward
beardless :youths blundering through half
learned tasks.
Rh, P.A.
The letter of the Connecticut. professors
and clergy addressed to the President of the
United States, was the offspring of this over
grown self conceit, and,-might be regarded
by plain men as .being somewhat imperti
nent. It. was conceived in something of the
same spirit that prompted some very wise
men many centuries ago to inquire whether
it was lawful to pay tribute to Cesar. It . is
refreshing to see how neatly the President
handles these gentlemen. He gives them his
views in relation to Kansas in a few clear
paragraphs which embody many great politi
cal truths, interspersed with some rather
caustic allusions to Connecticut hiStory.—
That cool, quiet reference to the Hartford
Convention is a settler. It is. highly sugges
tive, and one of the happiest hits that we re
member to have read. But read the cOrres,
pondence, which Will be found on ~the oppo
site page, , and judge whether the learned
men have not been sold.
The County Mass Meeting of the opposition
called together in the Court House on Friday
evening last to hear David Wilmot, was a
pretty respectable gathering, hut not any
larger than many town meetings we have at
tended when smaller guns were to bo fired
off.
We listened' attentively. to every word Mr.
Wilmot said, and if we were to give a speech
of the most rabid Republican delivered in the
last Presidential campaign, our readers would
have the whole contents of Mr. W's speech. i
It was slavery at the beginning, slavery in
the middle, slavery at the end, and slavery
and the negro throughout, with an _occasional
declaration that he had no confidence in the
honesty of the judiciary, and advised his
brethren to hold to their opinions, unconsti
tutional as they were, and fight on and fight
ever. One thing is certain, Mr. Wilmot made
no new converts here to his cause.
At the close of the meeting, a committee
through their chairman, A. W. BENEDICT,
Esq., reported a number of resolutions, one
of which condemned the course of the Jour
nal and read it out of the party. The reso
lutions were adopted with but two or three
dissenting voices, including Mr. Brewster's.
The assertion of the Huntingdon Journal
that Mr. David Caldwell, the Democratic can
didate for Prothonotary, has seen " Sam," is
false, as will be seen by the following denial
from Mr. C. himself:
SHADE G -IP, Sept. 5, '57.
IVxt. LEWIS, Esq.—Sir : I see a statement
in the " Journal" of last week asserting that
I had seen "Sam," and had left the American
party to obtain the nomination - for Prothono
tary. The statement referred to is false as it
is infamous—a lie from beginning to end. I
never belonged to-any party but the Demo
cratic, and always voted the democratic ticket
throughout—have done so for the last seven
years, ever since I had a vote. Will you con
tradict the statement referred to and dare
them to prove the assertion ?
Very truly yours, &c.,

.49.11 for Nothing !
It is amusing to sober-minded persons to
witness the extraordinary efforts now being
put forth by the friends of Wharton and.
Evans to effect the defeat of DANIEL HOUTZ.
It pains us, especially, to see' them perform
so much labor in vain. The election. of
either Wharton or Evans, even should one
of them decline, is an utter impossibility.-
Their friends are distracted. and. divided—
and the course of thd Huntingdon Journal
bas only served to irritate and disgust mem
bers of both factions, who are now doing
their utmost to secure the election of Dr.
Hourz—who, although a Democrat, has
never been known as an intriguing, vindic
tive partizan, nor an office-seeker, but being
called by the pecple, he is the people's can
didate, and not all the misrepresentations
that may be made concerning him will turn
the• tide of popular opinion now running in
his favor. Then let the Political CruSaders
desist, and let them console themselves in
time,
.that it is hard. to "kick against the
pricks."_
The Straightout Americans of Dauphin
county held their County Convention last
week and nominated a full county ticket.—
The Republicans have also their ticket in the
field. Wilmot will scarcely be heard of in
many of the counties where the Americans
refuse to be swallowed up by the dark Repub
licans.
REAL ESTATE.--Some very valuable real es
tate is advertised for sale in our columns to
day. Examine the advertisements.
HOUTZ AND CALDWELL.—The popularity of
these two gentlemen has excited the opposi
tion of a few tools of the "ancient dictators"
who have them already " defeated and laid
on the shelf," because, say they, one is a
foreigner by birth, and the other has seen.
Samuel•! Oh, go 'way !
The "Journal" and "Aine'rlcan" "Union
Ticket."
.readers, perhaps, are not " booked
;up" regard to the political positions of
the.ifontin - gdon Journal, the Republican or
gan; and -the Huntingdon• American,, the
American organ, since the nomination of a
"Union ticket." The Journal declines giving
a part of that ticket its support—striking
from it the nstmes of Col. S. S.. Wharton, for
Assembly, and Jas. E. Glasgow, for Pro
thonotary, and substituting the names of
Levi Evans and Jas. McElroy in their places.
The Journal of last vi_cek says :
" Wharton is alleged to have been nomi
nated by a Union Convention of the Repub
licans and Americans,—but we deny it. It
was not a Union Convention; its proceedings
do not mark it as such. No resolutionti were
adopted, the State Ticket was not endorsed,
indeed - nothing was done of a "Union"
nature. But this is not all : it was currently
reported that Money was freely used to bring
about the result.
But, in view of all this, it may here' be
asked why we endorse a portion of the ticket.
We are in favor of harmony, as our past
course fully attests, and. we can a great
deal to keep up a harmonious spirit in our
midst, but we will never submit to gross im
position, fraud and corruption. We and the
honest voters of the county, might even have
submitted, to the entire nominations, ultra as
they were, for
.the sake of harmony, had a
shade of justice been shown. But we looked
upon the nomination ef Wharton, as not
only injudicious, as it manifested . a, spirit in
conflict with harmony, but as an imposition,
a' fraud, and' the result of a low species. of
cunning trickery, which Was too palpable to
be denied, or questioned. So was it Viewed
by honest voters in all portions of the coun
ty, and the result is they have determined to
elect that honest, christian gentleman— : -Levi
Evans. - The nomination of Wharton' was a
dead weight to the energies of the party,
and would have defeated the entire ticket
had his name been placed before the public
in connection with it. We do not say this
from any ill , feeling towards .that gentleman;
we cherish none. But we reiterate , it again,
that in view of the manner in which he prd
cured his nomination, coupled with his well
known unpopularity, certain, unavoidable
defeat to the balance of the ticket, would
have been the result of his continuance. on
that ticket. We speak that we know, and
can prove it to the satisfaction of the most
ardent upholder and supporter he numbers
in his ranks."
The American supports the whole ticket,
and raps the Journal pretty severely o f y the
knuckles for its refusal to do the sane. It
says:--
" A ticket 117.34A g nominated without strife,
and no delegate from the people doubts the
fairness of the party action. Nobody mur
murs. Nobody is aggrieved,- but those who
did not get what they asked for. Nobody
sympathizes with them. Both papers pub
lished the ticket the first week without an
intimation that it was not satisfactory.
One week passes, the " Huntingdon Jour
nal" claiming to be a party paper, without
authority, without right, without consulting
anybody, in a total disregard of the truth,
under the head of the Union -Ticket—strikes
off two of the nominees, and.
,puts up the
names of its own men (we will not say tools ? )
Sixty-four delegates sent from and by the
people, spit upon ; and their ticket to be
crushed out, by one man. It says to the peo
ple "do what I want or I will strike down
your ttcket. I want my men for my purpose,
and if' you don't see fit to nominate them, I
WILL. You shall elect my men, or else I
will use my power to destroy your party or
ganization.". This is what is said by its ac
don. Nobody in any township or borough
was invited by the Journal to come and help
make its nomination ; alone it did it.
Like. Mrs. Cunningham,, it was determined
to have a b.aby of its own, if not by right
then by fraud, and try to have it look as if
it had a legitimate parentage.
Nobody was present at its birth. The Jour
nal had no honest doctors present, to expose
its shame. . , ,
Not a man in this town, nor in any Bor
ough or township, who is willing to admit
that he took part in that treachery. If there
be any who acted with the Journal, who,
and where are they ?"
If the Journal should continue to hold to
the position it has taken we may expect some
exposures which may be interesting to the
public generally. We shall endeavor to keep
our readers advised of the progress of the
fight of the two factions.
Free Trade.
As the reduction of all duties is annually
urged upon Congress, and as the whole West
and South are interested in reducing the
tariff on iron, the election of an advocate of
free trade and low duties to the office of Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, - would be looked
upon by all sensible men as proof that the
State no longer desired her interests to be
protected by tariffs. Suppose a southern State
should elect an abolition Governor, would
the northern people believe that that State's
prosperity depended upon slavery? So if
Pennsylvania elects a free trade Governor,
can the South and West afterwards be made
to believe her prosperity depends upon the
protection of her iron and coal? Look what
'Wilmot thought of the tariff of '42 and the
Whigs of that •day ? We extract at random
from his speech :
" Sir, believing as I do, I cannot give the,
influence of my voice, however humble it nzay
be, in Support of the tariff of 1842. I believe
it unjust and oppressive • imposing heavy bur-.
dens upon, the labor and industry Of the coun
try, for the purpose of building up a 2nonopo
lizing and privileged class. * * * 'E• *
"It is urged by the protectionists that the
imposition of high, restrictive, and prohibi
tory duties, benefits alike the whole' country
and every branch . of domestic industry.—
THIS, SIR, I DENY."
Now, old Whigs, look at the following ex
tract from the same speech : •
"It is said by the protectionists that the
industry of the country' must be protected:
THIS CLAP 'TRAP PHRASE, TOGETHER WITH
OTHERS, SUCH AS HOME MARKETS," PIOT.EC
TION AGAINST PA'UPER LABOR,' &C., HAVE LOST
THEIR POWER OVER INTELLIGENT AND RE
FLECTING MEN. Is that protection to 'the in
terests of- the'country which levies contribu
tions upon nine-tenths of its labor - to build
up a favored and privileged class ?"
But, Whigs, he goes further, and says :
"Sir, the e f forts to sustain ;on the one hand,
and to break down on the other, this protective
policy, is, in my humble judgment, a contest
between capital and labor—the former -strug
gling to perpetuate its privileges, and the lat
ter, for its rights and just rewards."
Whigs, you said . free trade was excessively
unpopular in Pennsylvania, but hear Wilmot
•
again :
" I have been told, here and elsewhere, that
no man can stand in Pennsylvania as the ad
vocate of those doctrines. It may be so. I,
however, do not believe it."
Now, then, if the people of Pennsylvania
elect a man Governor who talks in this style,
can their representatives in .congress turn
about and say that iron shall not be placed
on the FREE LIST because it would be disas
trous to the prosperity of the State ? If they
should say so, nobody would believe them,
with a free trade Governor staring them in
the face.. If they vote for Wilniot, manufac
turers of iron will have no right to Vay the
tariff is important to them.-- Clinton Dein.
The Coming Contest.
Never, perhaps, have the people of Penn
sylvania been called upon to participate in
an election fraught with so much importance
as the one now before us. The issue involved
is plain—Freedom'or Slavery.—S. N. paper.
We • were not• disposed, says the Valley
.to underrate the importance of the
approaching political. contest, but really we
never supposed it could possibly • outrank in
magnitude all_ previous Campaigns.' That
great and important , discoVery was reserved•
for one of our freedom - shrieking opponents.
Now that it has been announced to •us and
to the world, we can but wonder at our•blind
ness—especially as "the issue involved is
plain," and that issue nothing short of "Free
dom or Slavery." Although a; new light has
dawned upon us,. we must acknowledge that
we are even yet a little in the dark. "Free
dom or- Slavery" involved in the contest be
fore us—a contest for State officers exclusive
ly, and in a free• State to' boot. Wonder of
wonders! What does , it mean? Are we all
going to be kidnapped? Won't somebody
imform us, so that we may have time to hide
ourselves among "the topmost limbs of the
highermost trees !"
If the issue is "Freedom or Slavery," it
must be Freedom or Slavery in Pennsylva
nia. Freedom prevails in Pennsylvania—
who proposes to introduce Slavery? Not
Gen. Packer, William Strong, nor James
Thomson, nor Nimrod Strickland, nor the
democratic party, whose candidates they are.
Does David Wilmot intend to bring "the
curse of Slavery" upon us? Does he design
to subvert our Freedom and reduce us to Sla
very? lie has done• some• strange things, but
this would be the strangest of all. If the is
sue really is "Freedom'or Slavery," as the
knownothing paper asserts, Mr. Wilmot must
entertain some horrible design which he has
not yet disclosed to the public. Our safety
lies in preventing him from reaching a posi
tion in which he can do harm. to , our cherish
ed Freedom. If we put him in the Gover
nor's chair, with a Legislature of his own
Stripe to back him, we may all be sold "in
pursuance of an Act of Assembly" before we
are well aware of it. We would have been
badly "sold" by the late Legislature, if the
Supreme Court had not come to our rescue.
We certainly will be very badly sold if we
elect Wilmot.

Dr. Hardman , treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis mid-all diseases of the throat and lungs, by.
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Broniton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All , medicines aro - estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are 'dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into•
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of-disease. Inhalation' ig the'
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air, cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that - Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine; They were in
tended to act upon the lunge, and yet were applied to the*
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yeti
they were so administered that they Should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal
tion re on the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with thcrdisease triebotte
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application its
so simple, that It can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapses and all other forms of Female Complaints, In;
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms, of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and.bowele,
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy - ,
and all forms of nervous .disease.
