Hard Cider Whigs are malting Sad havoc with thp temperance cause, and ,that tho friends of temperance have already found it neces sary to issue a fresh supply of tracts, designed ex preasiy tostom tho torrent of hard cider drinking. At tho recent-township election.. in-Morristown, the Cagle adds, a cask of hard cider was opened at a public place, and cups provided for every one who chose to dip in; the consequence Was that a great number of boys got fuddled, and one so dead drunk that -his life was considered in jeopardy; but by timely rubbing and roiling, he was again restored-. If there aro any of IhoSe tracts sent to this place, wo would recommend thorn to be directed to the little temperance doctor, as ho -knows from actual observation at the Log Cabin raising what oifoct hard cider has on young and old whiggios. Had’nt .Sammy better write-to headquarters for a supply! Tho Knight of the Pictures could assist him in the distribution. The Herald seems lo lake exceptions to oUr bolding office-. Well, be it so—we have no ob jection.

As the-vole of the-white slayory.candidatD in fa vor of selling poor men for costs, has been attempt ed to be explained away- by his -Buckshot Hard Cidorfiiands, we subjoin,the following remarks made by Gen. Robert Lucas, the late Democratic Governor of Ohio, who was thgn a member of'the Ohio Senate. These remarks will show how the law was understood at the time—and Which must silence at bifije all ■ attempts to clear Harrison's skirts of the vile odium which rests upon hischar acter. “Mr. Lucas said he would vote for the motion*; of the gentleman from Champaigno (Mr. Fithian) to strike out the section; He considered it objec tionable in every point of view. He considered it nol only a violation of that provision of the consti tution of the state which declares that there shall be neither slavery or involuntary servitude In this state, but it contains principles of the most revolt ing character* It declares, that a person who is unable lo pay a fine or costs, shall be liable to be SOLD; and that tho individual who will pay tpe fine and costs for the shortest lime of service shall be the purchaser. “What will be tho operation of this section?” •said Mr. Lucas. “We Will suppose a case: sup pose one of the patriots of the Revolution should bo insulted by an enemy of his Country, or a toty who had fought against him in the struggle for liberty, and he should be provoked to Commilan assault in defending the honor of his Government; by our lows he might he prosecuted and fined.— lie is poor and. unable" to pay the fine, —What- would ioll6w under the provision of this section?

So this obnoxious provision, VOTED FOR AND DEFENDED BY WM. H. HARRISON* ddtSa not now disgrace the statute book of Ohio* Dielressing —Tho New York Sun says, that on Tuesday Week, about 0 o’clock in the liriornlngfi aS the sloop Palmyra Was coming down the river, partly loaded with stone, when oil'Fort Washing ton Point, she was struck with a sudden squall, and Went down Head foremost. There were fivß persons on board, three men and iwo young wo man; One of tho men and the two young ladies were drowned—the other two men swam to shore. JTcc/uLhic-ihurg .true lo Uanncraci/.’ —Wo under stand that on Saturday last, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a largo and'highly re spectable assemblage of the Democrats of Meehan icsburg and the townships adjoining, erected a LIBERTY POLE in that borough, with a beau tiful (lag appended’thereto, on which the names of “Tan Bubem,' Johnson,.Porter anO Democra cy” were handsomely inscribed. After the polo Was erected, the audience was ably and eloquent ly addressed by Mr, J. C. Weiblet, after whioli the citizens present returned to their homes, well pleased with the exercises of tho day. The erection of Liberty Poles at tho present time,/when siich a desperate effort is being made by the British-Bank Federalists to-prostrate De mocracy, will doubtless remind some of the ap cient fathersof our party, in this county, of the days of*-|99 and 1800, when! a struggle somewhat similar was had; but which resulted, ns tho pres ent one must, in the entice overthrow 'of tho ene mies pf ; democracy and their, country. We are sure there is more than one aged democrat in Cum berland county, >vho can look hack to the time when ho too assisted in raising Liberiy Poles in defiance' of tho black cockade gentry who- then at tempted, as their followers are now doing, to trample tho rights of the people under their lost,. .SpecialElictiqn r in JBedforil. _ ;; The special election irrl Bedford county, held' Oiithe 6th lost;, to supply the seaC in , thej:lieg*; Islature vacnteclby the expulsion, of Uni.

On the contrary, the federalists exert ed every nerve, and made use of every means, foul and fair, to carry their man. Of one thing we feel certain that when the offi cial returns are published, it will be found that, although the democratic candidate was defeated, tho federal veto, will be found to be less- than It was in 1830—and wo have hot a doubt that at the Presidential election tlie federalists will be con vinced they have “gained a loss” oven in Bedford county.

It breathed the true spirit of genuine patriotism, and cannot fail to increase the estimation in which its au thor is held by all who cam appreciate the conduct of one who has shown that it is not in the field of battle nlope that h'e is ready] to cast aside personal considerations to promote die general welfare. The tone and temper of that letter prove that Colonel Johnson is not of those who cling to party for self-ad vancement, and who are ready, at the first disappointment to abandon their principles mid their friends to 0y into thearmsnf their enemies.
