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 litical party held its city convention yester day. 'The straight republicans are now in the field.vvith their committee of superintend ence, nominating conventions, etc., thus ma king the fourth party. On the one hand we 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 —straight American, straight republican, and 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., D. CALDWELL. College Professors. The Wilmot Mass" Meeting. The "Journal" and David Caldwell.. .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.

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. S. D. HARDMAN, M. D. M.No charge fol.+ consultation. [Sept. 9, 1857. VALUABLE REAL ESTATE AT PUBLIC SALE.—ORPHANS;.
