The Relief Issues, greasy and ragged though they bo, would ml bo re-called.

But, badinage aside, there is grcai danger, not to liny eortuinty, that under the benevolent guardianship ol William F. Johnston these notes would be suffer ed to remain in circulation, albeit Ibero is at present iitllo more icll of them than a mere greuso-spot. Elect MORRIS'LONGiSTRE'I’U Governor, and! /you have hit upon Iho remedy.

The Banks will bo properly restricted—the Public will bo protected against any and every infraction of the Constitution, for the benefit of sharpers, brokers, and spcculators-und inconvertible paper-promises will no longer bo forced upon the Farmer and Mechan ic, “according to law.” This is an issue of transccndant moment. . Voters of Cumberland county, remember, the question to be decided next Tuesday is—Xj'LONGSTUETH and HARD MONEY—or, JOHNSTON and SHIN. PLASTERS!,£O Which do ye choose? WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE t Working men I do not forget, (hat Morris Long* BTreth is your candidate—that ho is a practical far. tnor and working man himself—that he is in favor of of the '* Ten hour law," a measure mlentcd to guard the health of (he operatives, and give them opportu nities for improving the mind. He is opposed to that clause in the law 01/owing'parcnls arid guardians of children to evade its excellent provisions by forming special contracts with the employers, by which the c‘ “ * Idren are to work any length of time agreed upon. \ Ho is in. favor of repealing this part of the law, os you will see by biis letter of Sept. 2,1848. And Who is opposed to Morris Lonobtrbth ? Win. F. Johnston, a lawyer of Armstrong county, who knows nothing about any thing but his profession, and some say very little of that. Ho has never studied the interests oi tho Agriculturalist, or the la boring classbi. He is in favor of retaining that clause in the Ten hour law,” by which parents and guar dians may bifid out their children to labor any length of time—thereby rendering the law absolutely worth, less, and defeating all the advantages it was intended to secure to poor children. He is the father Relief issues,”—those dir ly ragged ” that you esn hardly take in your them fulling to pieces,— Ho has required you to take this trash, instead of providing for you a sound currency. Ho was the friend of tho-monslcr United Stales Bank, by which thousands were made bankrupts, and reduced to beg. gary ! He introduced a bill last winter into the Sen. ate for incorporating in each county mammoth manu facturing Companies, each with a capital of $500,000 which would have swallowed up private individual labor. And ho was for allowing said companies to purchase Slate Stock to the amount pf ono fifth of their capital, to bo deposited with the Auditor Gen eral ; and on this, each company was to bo authoriz ed to issue « Bank Notes” or thinplaaUrs to the amount of eighty thoutand dollars I Whoever hoard, since the downfall of (ho United Stales Bank, of such a vile scheme for Hooding the Slate with worthless rngs, instead of money ? Remember (Jut, when you come to the polls, and thot if elected Wm. F. John, •ton will ondcavorto carry out his scheme. Ho has also entered into a bargain with (ho Na tivists of Philadclpliio—giving them a large share in the. county offices, if they would assist in electing him Governor, What can you expect from a mon and a parly, who will so prostitute the ballot box, for tho purposo of occompliahing their bate ends 7 TURN OUT I Democrats of Cumberland—on Tuesday next go to the polls whether it rains or shines, and give your vole for MORRIS LONGSTRETH, tho Democratic candidate for Governor, and ISRAEL PAINTER, tho Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. Wo understand from different parts of tho county, that the Federalists have made arrangements to got out all their votes. This wo hope will Induce ovary Democrat to turn out. Don’t only go yourself, but see that your Democratic neighbors go also. If you have a horse and wagon you can lake somo of them In with you. If you must foot U, ll will bo more agreeable to have.company. But at all events GO. Go to the Box, and deposits your ticket for as good candidates as we over had. NCR MIDDLES WAUTIX, Tub Federal Candidate roßCANALCouuissioNKn, was epoukcr of the House during the first session un dor Gov. Ritnor* Ho voted for all the corporations, and bank charters that passed during that evil ses sion. He voted for the. appropriation to the Gettys burg tapo worm and the other extravagancies which added millions to (ho Slato debt, occasioned the dis honor of (ho State credit, and ended in the deplora ble scenes consequent upon tho suspension of spe cie payments. Is a man of such principles Wor thy of filling the responsible office of Canal Commii isioner 7 . DEMOCRATS, AWAKE I Remember,'Democrats, that NEXT TUESDAY |is (ho day for the ejection of. Governor, Canal Com* j mjßsidricr, Congressman, and - our - County Officers. Lei nothing keep you at homo on that day. It is hdt -only the' glorious right and privilege of . every Pennsylvanian to make his voice-heard in the choice of those who.aroto direct the affairs of the wealth, and the County, bul. it is equally his duty. llu is not a patriot who looks with indifference on. Stale, and National concerns, and never puls forth his hand to stem the lido of the Federalists arc .constantly pouring upon us. You are not wor* thy the liberty we inherit, tho protection of whole* some laws, and.tho electoral rights of a freeman, if. you do not summon energy enough and give one day to protect your own, and tho, interests of tho Commonwealth-.' -Rrmbmobr, that if this election is Inst, wo.may also loose the election in November.- Do riot rest securely at home, on the pica that there is no danger* > This is' a traitor's and a coward's plcu. Never think whether (hero is dinger or hot, until tho battle Is over. Go" Into (he work as if yic. iory depended on your own unaided arm; No matter hpw secure the victory, let us aim to make tho over (blow complete—to disperse the rooks of our foes, and to roll up a-tremendous majority. .’ Farmers! remember that Morris Longstreth is your candidate—that your interests are personally his, and that his - interests - are personally yours.— Could you have a stronger’security, that with him at the head of affairs,yon will not suffer? Is (he se curity cot mutual 7 Morris Lonqstrktll is a hus bandman like yourselves. Ho bears the certain evidence of his profession on his hands and his brow. His enquiring mind .and enterprising nature has already been enlisted in your behalf.- For years ho has been engaged in examining all the branches of agriculture—endeavoring lb find out Uio boat modes 1 1 of operating, the best seeds, and every thing that may / benefit you. Ho has been endeavoring, by his learn-1 I loff and eloquence,to enlist others in behalf of your I welfare, and to turn (ho attention of ajU men to (ho I dignity of labor, and tho important inlbrosts of the,l agricultural community. Is this not the man for you 7 Laborers of all classes S is ho not the man for you? The candidate ofiored-you by llio Democratic party for Governor, is eminently known for the integrity of his character, and the generosity of Ills nature. Among his neighbors ho is remarked foe. ids liberali ty, his hospitality, his system and rcgularily.in busi ness, and that high moral tone of conduct, that is a distinguishing feature among 11 the Friends.*’ Tho election of Morris LonustaKth will ensure you a continuance of the wholesome policy which for some years you-have enjoyed under tho lamented Suunk; and where have you had a more quiet, peaceful, and honorable administration 7 Tho annals of Pennsylvania do not show a better. Under Long. sfRETii, wo will have a sound currency, in place of the “ unclean and unconstitutional” Relief Issues, that Wm. F, JoHNBTOM, the Federal candidate, has saddled upon us. Instead of. more inlornal lmprovo- ments at the expense of the Stale—which has.always been the policy of the Federalists—wo will Jiavo a gradual liquidation of tho State debt, and a consequent diminution of taxes. In a word, we,tvill live under a Democratic Creed—a creed that fecbmtnonds itself and wins its way to every man’s heart when rightly studied. THE LAST WORD I Democrat* of old Cumberland /-f-lhia is the last opportunity we will have of editorially communica ting with you before the election! 'Before tho next number of our paper shall bo issued, the battle will have been fought, and Democratic.principles will either ho inscribed on the .banoerVbf victory, or, by the carelessness of its supporters, will foil a victim to our opponents, tho Federalists. In our next it will be for us to announce tho result—it will bo for us to announce viaiory or defeat. During the few last months wo ha>d)abored sedoously for our principles —wo have timo and again exhibited to you tho evils of Whigism, Federalism, Toryism, and llioir oriilo cratio adjuncts, and have warned you against the dangers that will befall our parly and our principles, if, on account of personal or sectional considerations, you should permit tho Federalists to elect any por tion of their ticket.

Lot it not bo forgotten, (hat on kbit Tuesday wo aro called upon to fill tho various ofilccs of our Coun ty—Prolhonolary, Clerk of the Confts, Register, &c. The Democratic parly have boon peculiarly happy in giving tho County good, efficient, and obliging officers for the last three years. Till men they again offer, aro of tho same character, it Is of great im portance to every individual 1 in tho county, that the officers connected with our courts men of Integrity and ability. - A mistake, carelessly kept dockets, in (hose officers, mny be tiro ruin ofa mun. To avoid such evils, the Democratic party hnvo been particularly careful Jo (be selection of candidates. It is (bo duty of tbe party to elect them. Let there be NO CUTTING of tickets.

YOU fight for the preservation of your free and glorious Constitution—THEY for tho establishment of a privileged aristocracy that will ride over you with tho most insolent oppression. Democrats fight for equal laws and exact justice to all men—Federalists for the privileged few, and the immunities of the well born. Democrats, remember these things, and go to tho polls as your forefathers did in 1600 t wlion they elected Thomas Jefferson, and all will be well. WAKE UP, DEMOCRATS I You must remember that your principles arc in jeopardy, and that your enemies are Federalists.— .They wore Tories in the Revolution, and have been opposed to your popular institutions at every election 1 Bestir yourselves, and defeat your dangerous enemies • , Tub Lath Elections.— Tho popular vole, In the Into Stato elections, so far, foots up as follows s DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY, WHIG MAJORITY, Missouri 15,000 North Carolina 874 Illinois ■ 13,081 Kentucky 8,421 lowa 1,300 Vermont . 5,000 Indiana 0,000 Arkansas 6,000 Maine 8,600 50,581 Tho results of llio August and September elections worfl never as favorable to the' democracy.

Tho learned crillc'of the Federal Herald attempts .to find fault with our casual defence of the veto pow er, in a previous number of our paper, and has.the audacity to say-among other very foolish.things, that the Volunteer is “ opposed.to thJ doctrines brjeffer fion P*. To what. shifts the poor Feds are driven in i their , dcsperatjbn to save a sinking cause! If the I editor of tho Herald knows anything of. tho political I history ofthiscouiilry; ho must know that Jefferson advised Washington to exercise the veto in a more ; question of expediency.' Tho veto as a constitutional power, end one u?od and countenanced by all. the Democratic Presidents, stands very much in the.way of the seif-aggrandizing, schemes of the Federalists. I In the hands of Jackson and Tyler it saved tho na | lion from llio cuiso of another U. Si. Bank. It lias ! also in limes past arrested prodigal and . corrupting schemes of .Internal Improvements, which wore to pldnge the nation In debt to Ihc extent of three hun dred millions of dollars, and saddle tiro agricultural interest of this great people with tho perpetual burthen of a high protective tariff, in order to pay the interest* The veto of tho Maysvillo road bill, first checked Ibis prodigul scheme. It was exercised also with most happy effect by. President Polk, on the omnibus bill for clearing rivers and lidrbors, during the short sea. sion of tho 30th Congress. Tho veto is truly, as wo termed it, in tho.article criticised by the Herald) “the arm of tiro people, wielded by tho only man who Is the representative of the whole peoplo , *--lho President. And it is op position to this power, which is the only avowed prin ciple of the Federalists in tho present campaign.—. Yes! they dread (his wholesome power of tho cpn -1 stitution, and which was placed there by tho fathers of tho Revolution for wise purposes. Tho Federalists never did regard tho constitution of their country, ] when it stood In. the way of any of their cherished measures. They always preferred tiro constitution (of England, which is unwritten, and which the Bri- I tish Parliament can make mean any thing,' A written constitution, with certain specified and do. ' fined powers, is a groat stumbling block in the way ofFcderpl instincts. How they would glory in gel- ling a Fedora i majority in Congress and have no constitution, no veto power in tho hands of the people’s representative, the President, to oppose their progress. A beautiful govcrnmrnt, wo would .then have. Tho Democrats would then soon learn something of the ** Legislative absolutism, as domineering and as dan gerous as that exercised by the Parliament of Eng land*’*- When has eVor the Veto power been used otherwise than.in defence of tho people’s rights?—when has its exorcise not been sustained by the people themselves 7 Point but (ho time Mr. Herald—and the measure vetoed. Wos it when a corrupt Bank had loaned to fifty odd members of Congress sums in the aggregate amounting to more than a million of dollanf,by which tho Bank rceharter was passed through Congress 7 and when the patriot Jackson standing upon the constitution of Hid country, with a hcatt that felt for the people, and a M oervo of iron” -to do his duty} foiled thisdaringschomoof'VLegisfatiosilbso/utmn?” The Herald’s twaddle about the veto, therefore, is all idle—and the quotations from Jefferson’s letter to the elder Adams, of June Q7tb, 1813, most inappro priate,.and ill-advised. The . whole tenor of Jeffor son’s writings, and his whole public life, which are*entirely consistent! with this loiter, opposes tho assumption of. powers-by the General Government, Executive, Congress and all, which, do not legitimate ly belong to It, qntLwhich ore contrary either to tho letter or spirit of the constitution. But is not the veto apart and parcel oflliatconstitution, whoso existence is coeval with ,the Government, itself? Why (hen cavil, and quibble, to show that Jefferson’s remarks as quoted wore aimed at the veto power 7 TJioy were directed to other objects, and John Adams felt their force I —although tho Herald’s perceptions ap. pear very obtuse on tho subject. Honesty ot thb Tttlladelplila Candidate. , The Whigs havq*basod no small measure of their support of ticn. Taylor on the ground that he was a frank and honest soldier. It is of the first importance that the people should have tho views of tlyelr Prosi. dentiul candidates. But it is now known that he hae directly. refused to answer inquiries on tho subject of tho extension of slavery. The silence is the more ominous, from the fact that ho is largely interested in the peculiar properly of the South. In tho corres pondence between Dr. Dolorioy and Gen. Taylor, the latter, In his reply, quoted the following from the letter addressed to him: "Itls a right inherent in every freemen,to possess himself of too political principles und opinions of those Into whoso hands the .administration of the go vernment may bo placed." - Gen. T. added, 1 fully coincide with you ’in opinion." In tho famous Allison loiter, he says t nrT‘‘l have no concealment—/ have no opinion which I would not readily proclaim to my assembled countrymen ." In reply to a. letter addressed him on tho subject of the Wildiol Proviso, by Mr. Cobkoy, of Cincinnati, be says I I have laid it down as a principle, riot to give my opinion upon , or prejudge in any way tho various questions of policy now at issue between the political parties of the counliy, nor to promise what I would or woujd not do, wore 1 elected to the Presidency of (ho United States; and that In the ease presented in your letter, I regret to add, 1 see no reason for do parting from this principle." Observe tho vacillation between these three letters. Whore is tho mark ofa strong mind? Can freemen cast their votes for a man who thus refuses to declare his opinions. Wo have had one Tyler elected by the Whigs, but wo believe that tho people will not sus tain a second edition of Tylorlsm, in tho person of * Gen. Taylor. Electors will no longer support a can * didato whose opinions aro unknown. * ♦ ■ An Artful Dodger.
