that this vexed question will receive its quietus (ho

This, then, is the pUn of tho campaign on the part
of the Federalists. No . show—no noise—no public
meetings—so that they may lull the Democrats to
sleep under the belief that nothing is doing on their
part; Jvhen at the spmo time they have secretly >nd
Bteollhily completed a most thorough organization of
their forces in every .Borough,Township, and County
of the Stale;’ Where holVingelaowlllanswerthcir
purpose, they, will; resort to iheirusual ‘appliance of
money; and ;try. by. bribery an<d corruption to the
object of their desires. And we now advise our
Democratic" friends, that 'such is the effectual organi- 1
zalibn of oiir political oppbnchte, thatnos a single;
VVhig votcr in, Cumberland.counly '.will bb left at
home on thedayof the election. : Wo know that this
arrangement is already completed by the Federalists,
and.wo wanvour Democratic friends to be. on the

iThqrcis vastly more at stake in this election, than,
some of our friends think of. RccolJcct,;that in, ad:
ditioh to the Govcrnor.w.o have a Canal Commissio*
ner to elect. The Whigs have already one member;
and shouhl they, by the supinenbss of the Democrats,
elect another—the whole, patronage and influence of
the Canal Board will pass at once to tho Federalists,
and oar Public Works will thcn bo modo a lrcmea
! dbus political engine to operate against the Demo-
I era tic parly in its future contests- Besides; all this
lit.would require years of unremlllifig toil, on, the part,
; of the Democrats to wrest the sceptre of power from
the death-grasp of,Federalism.
So, 100, of our own County. Tho Whigs have
already one County Commissioner and one Director
of tho Poor.. Lot lho:Dcmocrn(s permit them'Jo elect
another member (breach! Board, and. then r fare*
well to the patronage and influence of the
It posses at onco into the hands of the Federalists,
and we all know very well that they will bsc the
, means'placed at their disposal to perpetuate their
1 power. . . ’.• ’ . -
In view of these things—rof such vast importance
to tho future welfare of the party—pre earnestly urge
upon our Democratic friendi in every .section oftlio
county to be up and doing. ■ There is not now a
moment to spare. See to it that every .Democrat in
every nook and corner of the county bo brought out
on election day. Have carriages and wagons prepar
ed to bring tho. poor, tho aged and infirm to the polls.
Let the leading and active men in each Township
see to these things. It is a matter ofvast importance,
arid upon such extraordinary exertions, In our opin
ion, depends tho success of our ticket. ‘ Knowing the
immense exertions of the Federalists, and apprehen*
ding danger to tho Democratic party from supinoncss
and an ovcr.confidence in our strength, we have thus
warned our friends of tho danger.. To be forewarned
is lobe forearmed—and wo are sure, when.all! are
made acquainted with (ho danger, no .Democrat will
suffer himself to bo 4i taught napping"- at this highly
important crisis. AROUSE,then —AROUSE FROM
YOUR LETHARGY!
33* Wb wish our Democratic friends to boar In
mind that the Federalists arc,very confidently boast
ing that they will carry’ theiMicket at the election—•
especially,do they calculate oh electing the County
Comnutiontr and Director of the Poor, And lb effect
this end they directing all their energies, .and
uscing overy-means, as well foulas fair., Their can
didate for Commissioner is making it a persons! mat
ter, and is busily engaged, day and night, in solicit
ing votes omong tho. Democrats, not only for him
self,, but-also for tho Director of the Poor. . Tho oln
jeel of his solicitude tb obtain tho office is easily dl.
vined; and it behooves our Democratic friends to be
up and doing, if they Wish to save tho county from
Clio clutches of Federalism. Recollect that every
vote will count, and it js all important that every
Democratic vote in the county should bo polled. Now,
although our information from every section of tho
county is highly encouraging, still bur friends should
not rest satisfied that they have done all they could
do, until the polls close on. tho evening of the elec
tion, with every democratic vote in every borough
and township polled. This is (ho duty of the parly,
and in discharging (his duty fully and energetically,
to the very letter, can they calculate with a certain
ly upon victory.

Look at.lho Stale of Maryland, says the Bedford

they grant corporate privileges for every* thing,—

lishment where the Federal tickets wgro printed with
calico backs in 1844, and tho workmen compelled,;

these same workmen sre cheated out of their wages;
for tho officers of the corporation, with an Indepcn*,
donee peculiar to that class of men, have told the'
hands thst payment will not bo made. All their
debts aro repudiated in the same way, to the amount
of several millions of dollars—somo for money, loan*

mers—some for merchandize—some for building ina*
tsrials—and an Infinite number’ of debts, largo and
small, to the men who labored for them. What
makes this hardesl.of all for an honest, man to look
upon is iho fact, that tho Corporators—the men who
have had the, benefit of all this business, and who
liavo coined money—aro among tho richest men in

Our whig friends arq bo tickled, says the Centre

that their .own candidate, Gen. Irvin, has . given, the
swindling community a ” pass,” which Santa Anna
himself scoundrel as he IS * .would scoru .to use. It
was;called the Bankrupt Law’, and said in effect:
“Lot this rascal “pass” through all his difficulties,
and cheat his creditors' out of their just dues and
hard earnings.” 1 . l.L.r-

Tho Federalists can make andunmake candi
dates with wonderful faciHlyt did ; lhalfloo, without
the aid of County Conventions I rTheir'latc County
Convention, which met in this Bordbgh, nominated
William B. Mullen, qfSouth Middleton, for the Slate
Senate, and instructed (heir Conferees to have him
nominated at all hazards. The same body placed in
nomination, for Director of the Toot? James Kenne
dy; ot Mifflin. This woe all very; every

bona J&e Whig candidates* and U&old S the
Conferees met—and what dtd lhey do bul givo tho

Kennedy fo tho Senate. This took every body by
surprise, and much, speculation has been afloat in the
public mind ever since as to the qauso of this trench,
cry to Mr. Mullen, who, by the way, is a very clever
man and estimable citizen. Mr.M. certainly, from
the Influence andoxcrllons ho has heretofore used to
promote tho success ofWhiggcry, deserved belter at
(heir hands, than to be thus unceremoniously thrust
aside to make room for a man who had already re
ceived his full share olTavors from the party; But this
is of a piece with (he.double dealing and treachery of
tho Federal leaders in this Borough, and should tcabli
the honcst portion of that parly what little reliance
can bo placed in their,, professions. The same Fod.
oral caucus, after getting Mr. Kennedy nominated
for Senator, set to work, and, without consulting the
people, or reassembling tho County Convention, bad
the name of James Weakley, of Dickinson, placed
upon their ticket for Director of the Poor—thus, if
possible, inflicting a double injury upon Mr. Mullen.
Such is Federalism.

written articles abusive of tbo character of the late

bn the character of Mr. Muhlenberg, In any manner
whatever. Ifony man states that I did,ho is guilty
of falsehood. If any man sweats (hat I did,he is guilty
of moral perjury, and if it were an indictable offence,
I could convict him of legal perjury. If any man
has procured such depositions to bo made by those
lie knew were unworthy of belief, ho is an accessory
to perjury, and nothing, .bat. (ho fear of the law
would prevent such a man from taking tho life or

. (£/* Wo slop the press to ssy that wo have reedy,
od the •• North American'! of this morning, contain*

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT*
The Montgomery (Ala.) Flag Advertiser, pays
tho following handsome compliment to , Governor
Siiunk t
‘•Gov.Shunk of Pennsylvania, is one of tho most
consistent end clear headed. Democrats in tho Key-
Slono State. Ho was.a fow years ago Boorotary of
State of Pennsylvania—a position in that and In oth
er States north of us which Is filled by tried and able
men, who have rendered the Slate some service—and
was taken from that position, on the sudden death of
Mr.- Muhlenburg, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, and made the candidate (oi, Hint distinguished
post. This occurred a very short time before the
gubernatorial election; yet ho fyns elected by a largo
majority. Under tho administration of such men as
Uitnor, Ponnayltnniajiad been inundated by charter
cd companies, with special and extraordinary privi
legos; Banks, and corporations for manufacturing and
and other purposes, were freely chartered—and the
doctrine of ail.sorls of protection to capitalists was
fast gaining tho ascendency. Gov. Shunk sol him*
self against this tide of legislation for private bone
-1 lit—ond in tho three years lust past vetoed Ihirly-six
, bills granting special privileges to chartered pompon.
Jes. He understands thoroughly tho true doctrine of
popular rights—ami lias made some of the most co
gent and convincing arguments against tho doctrine
of monopolies wo have over read.” , . •

a fortunate circumstance for both givers and receiv

society so proverbially benevolent and prudent In nil
tlicir|movcmcnle, and at the same time so wholly free
from sectarian bias when their charities ore directed
to those not oftjieir own sect—and 1 have full confi
