THE BOROUGH ELECTION.—ACCOrdiEg to the
provisions of the supplement to the charter
of the bo - rough of Huntingdon, passed by the
present legiSlature and signed by the Gover
nor, which we publish in another column of
to-day's paper, it will be seen that our corpo
ration election, to be held on next Monday,
will be of more than usual importance. On
that day the citizens of the borough are to
elect a full Board of Burgesses and Council
men, a portion of whom are to serve for three
years, another portion for two, and the re
mainder for one year. They are, however,
to be elected by general ticket, and the allot
ment of the term of service is to be made af
ter their election.
There is usually too much apathy and in
difference manifested in attending primary
elections, and in selecting persons to fill mi
nor offices. The improvement of our borough,
and the enforcement of the ordinances for
the preservation of good order therein, de
pends much upon the composition of the
council. In this view, the election of next
Monday has a claim upon the attention and
consideration of every citizen, which we trust
may not be neglected.
LOCAL ITEMS.—Mrs.ITAursoN will take pos
session of the Station House on the first of

BUSINESS IN ITUNTINGDON.—The opening
of Spring has brought about an appearance
at least of returning confidence among our
business community. In every direction we
notice evidences of means in our midst, suf
ficient at least, to keep all our industrious
mechanics and laborers busily employed.—
Small dwellings are going up in every direc
tion, and many but partly finished are already
occupied by the mechanics and laborers—the
bone and sinew of a town and a country.
Our merchants are making every necessary
preparation for an active Spring and Summer
business. The farmers are disposing of their
grain, and returning . home with countenances
more cheerful than they have for several
months, The better times have come—the
good times are coming—and everybody ap
pears to be content; hoping for a more pros
perous future: -
To SUFFER. YOUNG:7.7A little negro boy,
only eleven Years old, who confessed to the
burning of Col. BAILEY'S residence, in Sur
ry county, Virginia, has been sentenced to
be hung.
The Cash System
"'The newspaper publishers and editors of
the State of Kentucky met in Convention at
Frankfort, a short time since, and agreed to
adopt the Cash System, after the first of Ju
ly next."
With the above for a test the Printer's
Hews Letter, thus truthfully and logically
leads off :
"We have looked with much interest and
satisfaction for years to the tendency of the
newspaper world, to taking the step which
we chronicle above, and as each paper and
each convention adopts the each system, we
hail it as another step forward in the right
direction. Publishers have been working
" backwards" too long already, and many a
head has grown prematurely white, and ma
ny a heart has broken and gone with "sorrow
to the grave," struggling against a mighty
load, which has been worse than a millstone
around their necks, because a business,
which, instead of reflecting honor upon its
proprietor, has caused him intense suffering.
The question necessarily arises, "Why is
this, and where does the fault lie ?" We will
tell you, for we know too • :ell all about it.—
It is the want of a general and universal cash,
in advance, system among ALL newspaper
publishers. Subscribers have become to think
it is their right to receive the paper one, two,
and may be, half a dozen years, without pay
ing for the same, and advertisers think they
are doing the publisher a wonderful favor
in placing advertisements in their columns.
That is not as it should be. Subscribers
have no more right to a paper without pay
ing for it, in advance, than the editor has to
be served with the necessaries of life, for one
or more years, and neglect to pay for them.
It is a simple business transaction ; the edi
tor gives his labor, and expects to receive his
hire, if he is worthy of it.
That this evil has been suffered to exist too
long, is becoming more evident every day,
and publishers cannot too soon adopt the en
tire cash system, and cut off every non-paying
subscriber ; for every paper supplied yearly,
without payment eats up the profits of three,
and sometimes more paying subscribers.
Our advice, then, to every paper in the
land is, do not wait for a convention to adopt
a resolution, but begin now, at once, to serve
no one, be he who he may, without he has
paid you, and though you may lose some
subscribers and cross off many- leeches,
sponges, beggars, or whatever else you choose
to call them, depend on it you are but ploug
ing deep and running short what will ere
long spring up and return you an hundered
fold. Or, what would be better still, let
there be a concert of action in this matter,
all over the United States. Let a certain
time be appointed, say the first of July, 1858,
for a uniform course of action in the matter;
notify your readers fully of the event, .and
then stick to your resolution, and we will
stake our honor as a journalist that brighter
days will begin to dawn upon the deserving,
and ere one year has passed away, publish
ers and subscribers will be better pleased
with each other; editors will work harder to
please those who have paid. for what they
got; papers will be better conducted; those
abomible nuisances to all high-minded edi
tors, dunning notices, will disappear for ever ;
editor's wives and children will dress as well
and look as happy as other people, and the
newspaper business will become a pathway
of flowers to the lucky one who can enter it,
instead of a slough of despair, or more than a
galley-slave life.
No MORE BANKS AT PRESENT.-WC learn
from the Harrisburg Daily Herald that there
are several bills before the Legislature to
charter new banks, but that the committee to
which they were referred has reported against
their passage. On this the Ledger remarks
" This is all very.well, and is as we expected.
No more banks are now wanted, and nobody
having money to bank on would think of em
ploying it in establishing one. Those per
sons who are pressing applications for banks
are, in the main, men who want money from
banks—having none of their own to lend."
• feir Religious revivals'continue in many of
the cities, and generally throughout the coun
try. In New York and Philadelphia we no
tice churches are open during the days of the
week, and business men and others attend for
prayer if but for a few minutes. In Harris
burg the Young Mens' Christian Association
hold prayer meeting daily, from 12 to 1 o'clock.
Men and AV oaten attend in their "working
clothes," they go in and retire when they
please.
Capt. Wm. Doaais, has placed at his
corner, a gas lamp-post and lamp. We should
like to see a number of the Same kind in dif
ferent parts of the 'town. The Captain is an
improvement man, and we hope our citizens
generally will favor his movement.

please accept our thanks for three volumes
containing President's Message and accom
panying documents. Also report on the Fi
nances.
Dar. It is expected that the question of ad
mission of Kansas with the Lecompton Con
stitution, will come up in the House on Thurs
day. A committee of twenty members, ten
Lecompton and ten anti-Lecbmpton, hub been
appointed by a Democratic caucus, to recon
cile, if possible, conflicting views.

THE ANTI-LECOMPTON MEETING AT PITTS
BURG.—The DemocraticAnti-L ecomp ton meet
ing recently held at Pitttsburg, is said to have
been the largest meeting ever held in that
city. We have not room to give the proceed
ings in full, but the following resolves show
where the Democracy of the western part of
the State stand upon the great question of
popular sovereignty :
Resolved, That in resistinc , the admission
of Kansas upon the Lecompton Constitution,
we claim to be actuated by no spirit of fac
tious opposition to " the powers that be," nor
by sectional prejudice or animosity, but by a
sacred regard for the primary principles of a
Democratic government, and by a patriotism
as broad as the utmost circumference of the
Union, and deep as its deepest foundations.
Resolved, That to deny to the citizens of
any State or Territory the right to frame or
remodel their institutions in their own chosen
modes, and at their own pleasure, is to prac
tically reaffirm a cardinal, but a revolting and.
long-exploded doctrine of ancient Federalism
—that the people have neither the right to,
nor•.the e - ap aei ty for, s elf-govern men t. -
, Resolved, That we accord our unqualified
approbation to the twenty-one honest and no
ble spirits who, in the late State Convention,
vainly, but fearlessly and earnestly, protested
against any endorsement of a measure which
is manifestly at war with the letter and spirit
of the Democratic creed.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse and ap
prove the resolutions offered by William A.
Stokes, Esq., in the late State Convention—
rejected, though they were, by an unscrupu
lous majority, who falsely pretended to rep
resent the Democracy of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That we recognise in Hon. Ste
phen A. Douglas a, bold and faithful cham
pion of popular rights, one who is not to be
corrupted by power or intimidated by the
threats and calumnies of his enemies; and
that we predict for him in the future a rich
harvest of triumphs for his signal devotion to
the great doctrine of popular sovereignty.
These sentiments are, in fact, echoed by the
great body of the real Democracy of every
section of the Commonwealth. Nothing can
change the -convictions of men who, guided
by an honest regard for principle, cannot he
induced to become the apologist of expedien
cy or of technical forms, intended to cover up
the basest injustice.

G REATEST DISCOVERY OF THE
AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS! !
DR. GUSTAV LINNAMYS
Taste Restorative Troches, the Great Substitute
for Tobacco.
It is a well known and incontrovertable fact that the use
of 'Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the most se
vere MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISORDERS to which the
race of man is subject, as careful analysis and long and
painful experience have clearly proven that it contains
certain narcotic and poisonous properties most dangerous
in their effects, which by entering into the blood derange
the functions and operations of the heart, causing many
to suppose that organ to be seriously deceased.
TOBACCO affects also the entire nervous system, mani
festing itself—as all who have used the noxious weed will
bear testimony—in Lassitude, Nervous Irritability. Water
Brash, Dyspepsia, and many other disorders of a similar
character.
TICE TASTE RESTORATIVE TIIOCUES are designed to
counteract these baneful influences, and have proved com
pletely successful in a multitude of cases, and wherever
wed. Being harmless in themselves they exert a benefi
cial effect upon the entire system.restoring the taste which
has become vitiated or destroyed by great indulgence, com
pletely removing the irritation and accompanying tickling
sensation of the Throat—which are always consequent
upon abstaining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving a
healthy tone to the Stomach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining their con
stitutions and shortening their lives, should use these
Troches immediately and throw off the injurious and un
pleasant habit of Tobacco Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a convenient
and portable form at the low price of 50 Coats per Box.—
A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned - to whom all orders
should be addressed.
