nearly every thing in (he county. In the Ist Con*

the Whig and Independent candidates scarcely made
oshow.
In the 2d District, Chandler, VVhlg, is elected by
between throe and four thousand majority, .•
Third District, Moore, Whig, is elected to Congress;
a-Whig gain. The majority very small.
. Fourth District, Robbins, the Democratic candl*
date, elected by about 400 majority, the returns from
Richmond not counted. This willprobibly not alter
the result.
The entire officers of the city and county, or the
“Row,” as they arc called, have been carried by the
Whigs and Natives.
The County Assembly Ticket Is'probably carried
by the,Whigs. A Whig gain of eight members.
PRACTICAL JOKES.
Ai iho Federal Matt mooting held In this place 01
Uit Saturday,Governor Johnston In his Introductory'
remark* said that ho would acorn to hold the office
of Governor contrary to the withes of a majority of\
the people of the Commonwealth. - And he made this]
declaration too in the faco of the fact that he reached |
the office through the grave yard—his predecessor
having been elected by a majority of some 1600
votes, and no change of public opinion having been
manifested aa to .the merits of his odminiatratton.—
And (he Governor has not seen proper (9 resign, but
hsa ,been endeavoring to stulify (he people by his
prosy speeches,sothatthey may give him permission
to administer the government for. a term of three
years upon a policy that they have over and over
again condemned by overwhelming majorities. But
the declaration of his Aecidency was (he mnro point
ed, as Ex-Governor Ritner waa president of the
meeting, and was setting immediately behind him,
and having been a minority Governor himself, must
have opprteiated the remorka of Mr. Johnston vastly
It however came the Ez.Govornor'o torn lo pass
compliments. After his Aceidonej had closed his
harangue, the Ex-Governor arose with his usual
. dignity sod grace, and introduced another speaker to

;FEDKRAHSM OF »a 8 AtfD AVHIGISM OF »«,
I VHE B&MDt,
It it; somewhat amusing to see the the attempts of
the modern Federalists,' who dcsighatethemselves by
the naiho of , M Whigs,'* lopass themselves off as the
advocates ofHho do&iriucsof Thomas Jefferson and
Andrew. Jackson S ;Thoy now claim to bo Jefferso
nian Democrats, anil , try to Identify the Loco Focos,
(as they deign to call the true disciples of Jcffbrson.)
with the Federalists of the early period of the history
of the Republic. How absurd such , a claim is, a
plain statement of facts will show.
The title of Whigs was an honorable and patriotic
name, in Revolutionary times. It was the colonial
appellation derived from the patriotic, parly of the
mother country, and signified those who opposed the
prerogatives of. the Rrilish crown. The party in
England-who sustained those prerogatives were
known, and were proud to be called by the name of
Tories—and those who jn our colonial slalc;support
ed lho tyrannical conduct of the King of England,
and opposed with all their, might thp Revolutionary
movement, and . the rights of the people, were justly
entitled to be classed the lineal descendants of the
Kingly parly of the mother country. When the peo
ple were mcicly struggling for their, rights, and be-
fore they had obtained them, the name of Tory was
far from bearing the odium that is how attached to
it. It was then looked upon as and
those who supported Kingly power gloried in bearing
it*..The King was llio vice-gcrcnXof God, " could
do no wrong," ;and those who sustained his proroga-
tes, in that age of darkness as to the rights of mam
could not bo considered otherwise than honorable.
The patriotic name of Whig was assumed, by our
Federal friends to cover up their principles, and con*
coal.tlicir purposes from “ the public eye.”' What
was their pretext for assuming- it?—-who christened
them? In 1633 they said (hat Jackson was a tyrant
—Jic hod vetoed (bo Bunk—-had removed the deposits
—usurped ali the power of the government in his
own hands—that bo had as much power as a King—
(hat he exercised Ihosamo prerogatives— and there
j/ore, all who opposed Jackson* a King in reality* were
'as much entitled to the name of Whig as those who
opposed the King' of England in iho days of the He*
volution. .Il was the notorious James Watson Webb,
who was a borrower of the Bank of. the U. 8. to the
amount of 952,000, which ho never paid, and perhaps
never intended to pay, that hud the honor of perfor-
ming the baptismal rights. He christened them.—
And now we see the same party, who assumed the
name of Whig because they said Jackson was a des
pot and a tyrant, claiming to be supporters of Jack
son’s views. What rank hypocrisy ! Why, if wc
look at the regular toasts of the last Federal 4th of

180
July celebration, in this county, as published in the
Carlisle Herald of this place, the organ of.lhoir party,
we find them toasting that same lyraoicol Jackson,
as they delighted to call him in 1833,as aj; man wor
thy of all praise—and yet they support the same
measures now, that they .did then.
We started out with the intention of pr.oving that.
Whigism is now what Federalism was at the com*
moncement of the government, and has been in all
1100
140
is phases during our existence as a nation; and a
word as to the, origin of the term " Whig" seemed
necessary.
‘The great cardinal measures of. the Whigs now
. are the same as those advocated by their party daring
ibo administration of iho elder Adams, and down
through that of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
up to this evil hour. Without referring to many of
the measures which were peculiarly of Federal origin,
(although some of them of recent date,) such es lhe
charter of a National Bank, the funding system, a
high protective tariff, the distribution of the proceeds
of. the sales of (befpublic lands, a system of internal
improvements by (he general government, and an
assumption of tbc debt of the Slates, which were con
tracted in internal improvements, we will confine
our analogy to two great leading characteristics of
the Federal party, In the early history of the country
—=*to Itieir opposition to foreigners enjoying the rights
and Immunities of citizens, and to Ihe.acqUsition of
more territory extending the area of the republic,
underthe pretext thatithad a tendency to increase
the evil of slavery and the influence of (he slave
States—measures which were cherished and advoca-
led recently, and ore now, with great zeal by our
Federal friends.
will not be denied, (hat (ho Alien and Sedition
laws were enacted by a Federal administration, du
ring the time of John Adams, and which has been
appropriately denominated " the reign of terror.”—
It will not bo denied cither, that among other things,
these laws gave the President the power to order any
foreigner lo leave the country, whom he might sus
pect of seditious movements or designs. It will not
bo denied either, (hat the term of probation, aa 6xcd
by those laws, before a.foreigner could become a clli.
zen of the United States, was twenty-one years.
It will not bo denied, that during tljcadminiatra
(ion of Thomas Jefferson, this government made
what was called the Louisiana purchase, by which
we obtained the command of the Mississippi volley,
and (ho mouth of the Mississippi river, together with
a territory now embracing.several populous States,
and all our rights to Oregon, It will not bo denied
that the Federal party of (hat day denounced that
purchase! and detailed at length the extravagance ofi
the price paid far It* arid the dangers likely to retail!
I from the acquisition Itself. |
I It will not be denied, that in pursuance of this
I policy, of preventing foreigners from becoming cUi*
I zone, and enjoying like privileges and Immunities
with those who wore “ to the manor born,* 1 and oppo.
sillon to tho admission of now States, and pretended
droad of the slave Influence, the Hartford Convention
In 1014, during the last war with Great Dritlari,
among things which were treasonable, pul forth throe
propositions to effect these objects. One wos to ex
elude oil naturalized citizens from ofiko—another to
abolish the apportionment of slaves ai the basil of
representation In the South, thereby destroying the
compromises of tho Constitution itself— and the third,
to prevent the admission of any now State, without
two thirds of Congros consented* This was (he
1 Federal Abolition platform of 1814. It was sent by the
I Federal Governor, Strong ofConncclicut, to Governor
Tompkins of New York, and was sent back by that
I sterling patriot and pure Democrat, with the endorse*
menl “rejected end disapproved.”
It will not be denied that (he Federalists raised a
hue and cry against (he purchase of the Fiorldas
during Mr. Monroe’e administration, although owing
to the negotiation being clumsily conducted by John
Qainey Adams, who then pretended to bo a Demo*
brat, and held the office of Secretary of State in that
administration, a part of the Louisiana purchase was
needlessly sacrificed.
It will not be denied that the Gormans and Irish
i'tve strongly denounced by the papers of the Federal
erty.thsn calling itself the National Republican
mrly far voting In 1820 for Andrew Jackson for
President

■laws, before a foreigner cun becbmVait Anierican

Ing the. same candidate, for office, and avowing the
same principles, -. *
It will not bo denied that they have coalesced .at
different times hi New York felly, and’that the Native
Americans voted fur Mr. Markle for Governor along
with (he Whigs, and against ’Mr. Shunk, in 1844 In
Pennsylvania*
It will not be denied that the Whigs in .various
parts .of the. country attributed the defeat of Henry
Clay, in 1844 to the foreign vole, and denounced the
foreigners with /' curses loud and deep,” approving
of (he intolerant, proscriptive doctrines of the Native
Americans, and alleging that they should bo adopted.
But lest this ihould be denied wo furnish the proof.
Soon after the close-of the Presidential campaign in
1844, the Hon. John'P. Kennedy a prominent Whig
member of Congress from. in continuation
of a serious of papers, which he had written opposing
James K. Polk the Democratic nominee for .Prcsl*
dont, and tho annexation of Texas, after (he election,
mourned over tho defeat of the Whig party, and in
one of these , papers, which were all published with
marked commendation by the Whig press throughout
the country, used tho following language,* ' ,
“It is fundamental in this government that the
true people of Ametica shall speak truly in their
election's; that their voice'shail not be suppressed by
fraud or violence, and that neither shall U bo out*
weighed by voices un-American. ■ * » *
To compass this groat end, we must have a modi
ficallon of the Laws of Naturalization—such modifi
cation as thalt lengthen the term of probation,”
. But the proof dues not slop here, and we will bring
it nearer home. The Chambersburg Whig in this
Congressional district, of December sth 1844, pub
lished an address of the county committee ofFrdnh*
(in, condoling with (heir fellow tuftrert lnihia wise:
i •' Fellow Whigs~Out illustrious cUlcf Ham been
boalen and wewlth him. • • • * -• 'Defeated by
Foreigners imported by Briltleb gold, who had
scarcely breathed (he air of bur country.and shaken
off (ho dual of (heir native soil, IGNORANT of our
institutions and our language, who. having but the
day before escaped the tyranny of their own rulers,
came here only to be rulers over us.” •
Wcmigbl lengthen the proofs but it is unnecessary.
It will not be denied that the now Whigs and Native
Americans of this Slate supported William F. John
ston, the Federal nominee for Governor in the recent
election, and that these iwo parlies "joined jlbblets”
in the city and county of Philadelphia, for members
of Congress and city and connty officers.
It will not bo denied, that the Free Soil men of the
North are espousing the same doctrines, on the sub.
ject of tbo acquisition of territory.and slavery, that
tho Hartford Convention approved in 1814, and that
the opponents of Jefferson approved in the Louisiana
purchase, and thdl.the. now Whigs approved in the
question of the annexation of Texas. .
It will not bo denied, that the now Whigs and Free
Soil men or Abolitionists are both striving to effect
the defeat of the Democratic nominees for President
and Vice President—and (hat in (his Stile the Free
Soil men nominated no candidate for Governor, in
the hope' of transferring the rank and| file of their
parly to the support of the Federal candidate.
It cannot bo denied, that the now WhiVs and Free
Soil men entertain ono and the same opinion on (he
subject of (he increase of territory, and (bat of slave
r y_lhat it is tlie old Federal doctrine of die Hartford
Convention timus, and is fitly supported by the same
men who would disfranchise our adopttd citizens,
and go back to the Alien and Sedition laws of " the
reign of terror** . >,
We think therefore it is abundantly manifest, that
VVltigism now sustains (be same odious and lyronni
cal‘measures; that it did in (he time (hat the people
were looked upon as Incapable of governing them*
selves.
Wo might refer to another point of analogy, be
tween tho Federalist! of ’9B and the'Whlgs q£ 1840
and the present day. The Federalists had possession
of the general Government but during three .Presi
dential terms, in all twelve.years—those of the cldor
Adams, (be younger Adahis, and 11 Tippccannoc and
Tyler loo”, administration. In cadi of those periods
the Federal leaders brought forward a bankrupt law,
and had two bankrupt laws passed, (ho only two that
, over disgraced the statute books of our National Leg
islation. Such a law was passed during die admin,
islration of the elder Adams. Such a law was propo
sed during administration of John Q. Adams, Suoli
a law was passed during the administration of John
Tyler. Such a law ia a fit accompanyment of the
rotten Bank, no-dobt-paying, Federal policy.
THE ELBtTIOIf.
The contest is over—tho battle is (ought—and it
is with feelings of no ordinary character that wo an*
uounce lo our readers the highly gratifying intelli
gence that Hie whole Democratic ticket, with the ex
ception of one man, is triumphantly elected In old
Mother Cumberland. Mr. Lofuvcr, it is supposed, is
defeated for Assembly by a Very few volts. We are
unable, from the manner in which the returns came

son, that we love to recall its instructive associations,
and to read again those vivid descriptions of. them,
which, as a correct reflection of capable
of exciting the .most pleasurable emotions in our
mmda. We. naturally feel the full influence of a
change which pervades the world around iis; and
though it may create an involuntary pensivencss in
the feeling heart, yet even in that sober cast of our
thoughts, there exists a deep sense of delight, com
municatcd by a time
“In which - •
Nature rejolceth. smiling on her works.
Lovulj*, to Dill perfection wrought.”
Tlio harmony of nature iu this, os well os in all
other seasons, is remarkable. Every feature corres*
ponds with tlio gradual mutation, and participates in
it. There is no interruption, ho abrupt exception,
no special part, that disharmonizes the general order.
Every thing yields to the inevitable change, as for*
ming one beautiful and harmonious whole*
The shy assumes a . mare deep and sober aspect,
and even (he atmosphere, though clear and bracing,
seems to be silent and serious, os If old age had
ripened it into calm and -devout reflection. The
/ winds begin to swoop through (ho (ops of (ho dis
colored mountains, and to sing (heir pensive song,
as they shake the sear and yellow leaves from the
forest tops. The landscape assumes a shaded aspect,
variegated over hill and dale, with over changing
hues;
•'The fading, milnjMsolnred woods,
Btiado deep'ningover shade, tho country round
linhrown, crowded umbrage, dusk and dun,
Of every hue. from wan declining green
To sooty dark.”.
Nor is the animated part of nature uninterested in,
or unaffected by the universal change. The birds of
passage, warned by the retiring sun, and increasing
wintry blasts, have already taken their departure for
a more genial clime. The noisy marlin took an
early flight, and gathered together in largo flocks,
after sitting together often for several days, as !fcn*
gaged in anxious consultation about the mode and
place of their migration—look their flight in secret,
uor left a single fugitive, to tell the place of their re.
sort. Hero and there a solitary robin is yet seen,
whose attachment to his native place, eipbscs him to
tho risk of being overtaken by the frosts of winter.
The hammering of tho woodpecker is.Slill heard, as
selecting some dry limb, ho makes the forest re.ccho
with (he sound, and then gives an exulting shriek, as
if to say that he feared no winter. Tho little squir
rcl seems fully aware of the approaching frosts, for
which nature bat provided him with a thick coat of
fur. How busily fie is now engaged. Having first
selected some Midland convenient retirement, mostly
in the hollow of some largo tree, he drat lines his nest
with moss, leaves, or whatever may suit his purpose,
and theo-pcepares to Jay up for winter a plentiful
store ofnuts, acorns, && How often have.we noticed
the little striped ground squirrel, making depredations
iqto a neighboring gralofield, and having filled its
distended jaws, which are of a peculiar construction,
and capuble of containing a whole "handful" of
groin—vo tlftfcit seemed as though its head had
swelled to doub& its natural size—scampering a way
to its retreat, where its precious burden was deposited
for its winter’* food. It is a strange instinct which
(caches these animals in this"manner to make provi
sion for their wants, and which admonishes (hem
that a lime is coming in which nature wilt withhold
their food for a season. The " busy bee 1 ’ has laid
in an amply atoro of luscious sweets for (he winter;
having previously made a good oso of the summer
hours to rove from flower to flower, to give an parly
kiss to the opening bud, and steal away Us sweets.
Their industry is crowned by a well filled hive, and
during tho season of snow and frost, they have noth
ing to do but to eat and'to sleep. The butterfly still
dances in the beams of tho sun, and as though con
scious that Its brief cxistance is soon to end, seems
determined to enjoy the present in jovial sports.—
Alas’, the early frosts will scran render thee stiff and
feeble ; even ere (by natural .change shall have come.
Numerous insects now fill (he air, and the conning
nighlhawk selects the evening hour to secure his
. winged prey. The whole tribe of- insects seem to bo
animated with increasing Ufo and joy fulness, sporting
away (libit transcient space of existence, apparently
i In the pursuit of pleasure. What lessons are not aft
i forded by the habits and nature of those insects for
i the reflecting mind, and what a substantial pleasure
, may be derived from the study of (heir history 1
i The summer flowers have bloomed away their
beauties, after having displayed their mingled blon.
ded tints for a moment, and ladcned every passing
zephyr with their fragrance. The children of the
full are less In number, and partake more of the
! sombre hues of Balaam. The fields appear blanched
and bare, and the lowing herds graze npon the parch
ed remnants of vegetation. They begin to assemble
around the receptacles allotted for thorn, as instinct
ively sensible of the appi caching winter. ,
To the farmer, the autumn is a season of pleasant
associations. Hia barns aro filled with the produce
of the summer. And now he beholds his orchards 1
ladencd with lusolous fruit, waiting to bo housed for
the winter. Ills fall crops are read/ to bo gathered
I in—and he hasten* to improve the delightful weather,
I which seems specially ordered of Providence for (his
purpose, to gather In his frail* his grain, and the va
rious products of his fields. He sees his toll amply
rewarded, and with a satisfied and contented mind*
he beholds the rich store, with which a kind Provl.
donee supplied him.
- In a moral aspect, autumn is calculated to awaken
profitable reflection. .The over changing scenery
around forcibly remind him of a change that
alto awaits him. He sees in the drooping flower,
the fadlng*erdure, the falling leaf and the decaying
vegetation, so many vivid and striking images of his
own dissolution. Hit seed time te&ehes him, that
hero on earth he sows his seed for eternity, and he is
thus admonished to sow good seed, (list ho may reap
with joy. His earthly, harvest prefigures his eternal,
one, and prompts him to prepare duly for it The
• fall, changing, fading, decaying, reminds him of a
similar change, and bids him to be ready. Whilst
the recurring spring, reviving nature, and renewing
her lovely and diversified forms, loaches him his ov?n
Immortal existence, and that beyond the grave, he
•ball rise again, and live forever. The book of na.
lure corresponds with the volume of Inspiration, and
' both aro designed to moke men holier and happier—
to point out an hereafter, and to prompt him to pro*
pore for It ; ’

To Butter, makers*
THE subscribers having purchased the right o(
Cumberland county for making Crowell s Potent
Thermometer Churns, they would respectfully in
form the Farmers and the public in general, that limy
will make and offer for sale these churns at the Cab
inet Warerffom of George Spangler, in North Han
over street, next door to David Smith’s office. The
principal advantage (bis churn has over all other
churns Is, that it !s soconstiuctcd that (he top can be
taken off so as to give free access to (ho inside of the
chum, which makes it convenient to put.in (he cream
and get out the butter. A thermometer is o((ac..cd
to the one end of the churn so os to show the exact
temperature of the cream; which experience shows
should be 60 degrees to make good butter. A cham
ber or space is arranged around the bottom of the
chum for the purpose of admitting eold or warm wa
ter, so as to bring the cream to the desired tempera
ture without mixing tho water with the cream. The
secret in churning butter is to have your cromn ut
(he proper temperature—it will priduce more and
better butter and take less time in churning—it churns
equally well in cold or worm weather, no such thing
as having scolded butter—all that is necessary to
make good butter all seasons of the year is to get one
of Crowell’s Patent Thctmometer Churns/' Wc would
most respectfully invitb (he public to call and exam
ine for themselves.

CERTIFICATES.
Mr. George Spangler: .
Sir—Wo have beep using Iho Thermometer Churn
X got of you for some time and find it fur superior to
the old - barrel churn for several reasons. First, great
saving of time in getting huitcr the average time of
churning being about fifteen minutes, (oil weathers)
we have got butter in the short space of ten minutes.
Secondly, the butter when obtained is mud) firmer
than when using any other churn. Finally, my
folks say (hey would not exchange for any other
churn and twice the original cost of tho.Thurmoine*
ter chufn. Vours,

Mr-George Spangler:.
I have the Crowell Thermometer Churn you mode
for mo in usui at my place, and 1 do not hesitate to
say that no farmer should be wlthodt it. Fifteen
minutes is all the lime required to moke butter, ami
the value of this saving of time and labor consists in
this—ihut it requires no more time at any one season
than arialber, and that the lompbruluro of (he cream
necessary ttf make butter, fs produced with certainly
and without (ho admixture of warm or cold water
with the cream Itself. TftEEfK. W ATTS;

To the Public f
For the benefit of the bettor part of mbn (woman)
I give this certificate after using the Thermometer
churn mafic by Mr* Oeorge Spangler of this pi »ce,' 1
[would have none other in my family. We hhvo!
been using the old barrel churn for thirty years past,'
and 1 must say it ie nut to be compared to Crowell's
Thermometer Churn, either for speed of churning or
convenience. In the old barrel churn it took gener
ally from four to six hours to churn the churning
now in the Thermometer churn we can churn butter
in from fifteen to. twenty minutes, by bringing the
cream to the proper temperature. I can recommend
it to the public as no cheat
