. OW CONGRESSBIOWAL DISTRICT*
We are pleased to bo able to announce, that the
16lb Congressional District has been redeemed from
FederaJ,misrepresentation. Wo felt deep mortifioa.
tlon and dishonor at the courso of Mr. Bradi during
the last session of Congress, and that the counties of
c "/» Franklin and Cumberland, should be repre
■ented by a member who, so far from sustaining our
country in the'recent Mexican war, was found aiding
and. abetting our country’s enemies, by voting for the
infamous Asbmun resolution,-in which the war was
denounced a» “ unnecessary and unconstitutional,”
Bot, Mr. Bract has received a merited rebuke from
the freemen of oar district. He has been shorn of
his honors, and has hod meclcd out to him the deser
ved chastisement of the man who deserted-his coun-
Iry, her honor and her cause, when engaged in-actual
war with a foreign and perfidious enemy.
; We are also pleased that his place has been assign
ed to one of Pennsylvania’s most talented and patri
otic eons. In the person of James X. M’Lanaiiajv,
. we have a representative deserving the honorable
distinction be has received, of a high order of Intel*
. ket, o&pUratiog oratorical powers, acknowledged pa*
triotUm, put* and nnbiemislied reputation, and of the
moat pleasing popularity in his intercourse with
others. Yet even against stfch a candidate the foul
breath of calumny was liberally expended. InFrank.
lia county, the place of Mr. M’Laiiaban’s birth, boy- 1
hood and manhood* where his unspotted reputation 1
and distinguished talents were known to every voter, 1
be was assailed with the most bitter rancour and un*
founded.falsehoods party malice could devise. So
• base, mean and unscrupulous were the moans om
ployed to defeat his election, that men making pre
tensions to. respectability and truth, publicly circnln.
ted, with black hearted malice, that Mr. M’Lanahan
had threatened to aeH v out a poor debtor unless he
would vote for hiin. This base and vile slander was
rebuked and silenced by the public declaration of the
debtor alluded to, that it was false and unfounded.
The result of the election in Franklin, where Mr.
MXsnahan received a larger vote than (hose on (he
same ticket, ought to leach his calumniators (hat

is the mortifying aod disgraceful intelligence. That
aristocrats should ■ rejoice-Mhallho wealthy—that
monopolists—that .presidents and .stockholders of
banks and raiLroad companies should exult—wb arb
not surprised. Tile election has played into. (Aeir
hands, and will give them extended privileges, and
add to their already overflowing coffers. But that
the masses—the - poor and the laboring classes—the
farmers and mechanics of our Stale—should so far
forget themsclvo's ) and their interests, and should de>
sort a party and banner, that have been the vigilant
and untiring guardians of their rights.liberties and
welfare, and should triumph in the victory of Fed*
etalism, is passing strange. It betokens an over*
shadowing of tho mind and the. judgment. They
have been led; away by a sireno song to their own
destruction. . .
As it is, wc submit to the, will of the majority.—'
Had the result been different, wo feel assured that
the Federalists would have U treated the election os
if it had not been held.” But it is not in the breast
or creed of any Democrat to resist the expressed de
cision. however it has been obtained, unless fraud.ia
so open and flagrant, as to make forbearance a
crime. „ Wetherefore, submit, although well assured
that the election has.not been an honest and enlight
ened expression bf the pcoploV will. Had they fair
ly understood the position of the two candidates, and
the involved.and.not been prejudiced and
blindfolded by the deceit and frauds of our opponents,
! and their nominee, the result would have been dif
-1 fcrciit. But instead of attending to his ofHeial duties,
a* his oath and obligations to the, people required
him to do,'Win. F. Johnston spent (ho lime which
, should rightly have been devoted to other, matters,
and the money which the Commonwealth pays him
for his services as Governor of the State, in dee;
tioneering for himself) and appearing with different
faces and commenlingfon different texts, to suit the
prejudices of different localities. In the mining dis>
(riels, he held himself.up as the advocate of a high '
protective- larifi, and represented himself as the
champion of.their peculiar interests.' In the iron (
districts ho pursued the same policy. In the North,
with equal facility, he laid aside the tariff, and dan. '
died the .child of the Free Soilitns, when In fact, this
question is about, as much involved in his election,
as it would be in that ofaConslablc. the Na
tives, he forgot tariff, Free Soil, and every thing ex
cept NalivUm, and accomplished a bargain and sale
with them, and to alt ho declared- w that as sure as
ho believed in his own existence, lie believed thp
parly now in power; were endeavoring lb destroy the
government”—and by thus playing the dbmagogue,
and wearing more faces than Janus, he secured his
election.
But the people will find out before thrca.years have
expired, (hat all to which he has committed himself
are questions of National policy , with which ho os
Governor of Pennsylvania has nothing to do. In re
gard to . State policy and Stale administration, he
was as silent as the grave. Questions of this nature,
lie avoided as the rock on which ho might founder
conscious that ho and his party ivero the advocate B
of measures obnoxious to the people. Banks and
bank charters—individual liability of stockholders—
the sale of the public works, and other questions of
a like nature, he hover broached.
What can bo said of an election accomplished by
such means? Our opponents have triumphed, but it
is the triumph of iniquity—the triumph of fraud over
honest exertions—a triumph of corrupt factions oyer
the triumph over measures that the roajo
rity have long regarded with peculiar favor—a trl- v
umpb of monopolists over individuals—a triumph
over the honor of our State. They labored with a
zeal worthy a' better cause. Every tiring that *rl,
deception,energy and villainy could accomplish, was
done. Bnt, their triumph will be short. They have
abused power whenever it has come into their hand*—
and in endeavoring to make their authority omnipo
tent and perpetual, have made it imperative on tho
people to hurl them from office. Such will bo again
their fate—and the Democrats,in looking through three
years of gloom and misrule, may console themselves
with the prospect of again, at the end of that time,
getting matter* into their own hand*.
801, we have a word to say in regard to County
Officers. It has been too generally an opinion Hint
it is a small matter whoare nominated for such offi.
ces. But if reports be true, the Democrats of a nolgh.
boring county, by having an improper nominee for
Sheriff 1 , hare defeated (ho democratic nominee for
Governor. With a different man, it said, they would
have given their usual majority, the vole of the county
would have been brought out, and Morris Longstrclh
would have been Governor of Pennsylvania. This
should leach ut a lesson, and we should remember
that the vole of the State may run so close, as to be
turned by o single county,and that that county may
be out clown or turned, by an impolitic nomination

“DEFEATED BUT NOT CONQ.UERED |M
While the minions of Federalism are rejoicing
over tho election of their Governor, id every true
Democrat—every lover ol his country—every well,
wisher of our free Institutions—stand fast, and be
active and zealous in his support of Democratic truth
and Justice. Although we believe our worthy and
patriotic candidate forGovornor, Morris liONorrßrrii,
Is defeated by a small majority, this fact, instead
of cooling tho ardor of Democrats, should slirou 1
late every one to action. Pennsylvania must and
will give her vote to Cass and Butlsr! No ssne
man has ventured to assert, even sinco the election,
(hat the Old Keystone can be carried by tho Fedor,
alisls. Wo had four parties to contend against in the
luto struggle, viz: tho Federal or Tuylor parly, Na
tive party, Free Boil party, and tho Abolition party.
One of these factions at least, (the Free Soil) will not
support tho Federal ticket on the«7lh of November.
Lot every Democrat therefore stand forth, in defence
■ of the glorious principles of our party. Despair not!
It,lt not the first time in.the annals of Republican
Governments that the enemies of the right have tri
umphed. Who fears,? Who falters? Join hands
for tho battle on the 7Ui of November—a battle that
will shake the earth from the centre to the utmost

despair, by any means ! . Up, up, Democrats, and

capital having superadded to Us other advantages the
bounties of monopoly, which muslof necessity as it
enriches capital empoverish labor—which roust of
necessity derange the natural laws of trade, demand
and supply. No legislation can increase the wealth
of the nu lion, for, that depends on labor, and if that
wealth bo thrown into iho lap of the capita list in an.
equal proportions, it must bo taken from the many
who toil
As wo have not defeated Mr. Johnston, we havonol
defeated a grasping and growing spirit of monopoly,'
that would place a manufacturing 1 Corporation in
every hook and .corner of.the commonwealth—wo
have not defeated a hot-bod system of legislation,
now prevalent in tho eastern Slates, and especially
in Massachusetts, which will bind tijoso communities
to .the car of Federalism for h, linger period than
the present generation.' Associated capital there has
every advantage, and has every, thing to do.; The
money ol the community is placed under the control
of irresponsible boards of directors, who wield it for
the benefit of themselves and political dependents.
This is the system whicli will be attempted to be fas

the almost superhuman exertions of the Federalists.
But had wo escaped this Soylls, wo should still be

wo could have desired, we hope hope and heart to do

Pennsylvania bo true to her ancient and litno.lried

THE TARIFF.
There is, says thu Harrisburg Keystone, no subject
Ute Whigs prate more about than the tariff*. This Is
their great hobby, and although Mr. Clay himself. In
his last speech In the United Slates Senate, in which
he designed to ibdioale the' political course to be
adopted by bis partisan friends, gave decided prefer
ence to ad valorem, over specific duties, yet this
party would hate us believe that they are the exclu
sive friends of Die protective policy. How weak and
absurd It is, that Urey should suppose the American
people so unintelligent as to be misled by their pro
fessions of being the friends of protection, at a lime
when they lay down no principles, and run as their
candidate for the Presidency a southern cotton plan*
ter, a portion of whose great wealth has been derived
from the toll and sweat of his slaves; and whose In
terests, they well know, are Identified with free trade
As well might they argue that John C. Calhoun was
the friend of the protoolive policy,
, \ The tariff, or (he adjustment of duties upon im
ports, must, from (be nature of things, bo the subject
of frequent change and modification. Tho interests
affected by it are sectional or local questions, to be
soltled in Congress by fair and just compromise, so
as lb suit the conflicting interests of the whole coun
try.. The tariff of 1824 was repealed by the tariff
act of 1828. The latter afforded high protection, and
at the time of its passage was regarded a popular
act, at least In'some sections. • This act, however,
I owing to a change in trade and commerce, remained
| upon our statute book but four years, and was sue-
Jcocded by the compromise bill of Mr. Clay, which
became a law at the memorable Congress of 1839.
[Again the tariff law wasqhanged in 1849, four years
| after which, in 1846, the oot now In'forob was pass,
ed. Thus it appears that none ofourlaws adjusting
duties upon imports have long remained in force, and
thii must over bo the case as long as tho enterprise,
the ikill, the inventive genius, and unsurpassed in
dustry of our people continue progressive.

Whig parly. We have no longer anything to fight

ALL HAIL X OHIO X
Tbe Buckeye State safe for Cass and Butler
by thousands I
Tiie intelligence from Ohio, is truly cheering; and
puts Pennsylvania almost to the blush. Whilst both
parties conceded the.election of Ford, owing to (ho
perfect union of (lie Free Soil party on his nomina
tion, suoh has been (ho energy and perseverance of
tho Democrats, that (ho election ofCol.Wcixxß,(ho
Democratic candidate, Is highly probable. At the
lust advices, the Democrats were claiming the State
by 3000 majority, and tho Whigs by 100! In eith
er event, U is a glorious victory, and renders tho Slate
safe for Cass and Sutler.
