GOV. JOHNSTON AND TUB ACT OF 18*T.
What a marked difference there cii hotwoen the
manly, candid, end atraighlforword -bourse of Co).
BiOLin, in expressing hie view* on ail the political
questions ofthe day, and the desperate effort of Got.
JonHiTON to obnceaPentirely hit opinion*, or to cx.
Ptes* them in such ambiguous language that they
may be interpreted to suit any party ! It U; a sin
gnlar fact, that while the latter ia known to be in
feeling a rank Abolitionist, he is not only claimed
by the Abollliohlsts and Free Sellers, but also by
those oflhe Whig party in favor of the Compromise
measures of the last Congress, as holding sentiments
similar to their own! He protends in certaii\quar>
ters, to be not really lioslilo to those great measures
which cement tho Union, but merely in favor of
certain modifications, and his Abolition friends hold
that those ” modifications ” would be a virtual repeal
of the bill, while those who, with a better conscience,
would faithfully secure the guaranteed rights of tho
South', allege that'his. -* 1 modifications ’* arc only in.
tended to take off life without ma»
king eny important changes in the Act itself!
i But how peculiarly evasive and deceptive is his
eourso <r iii regard to the repeal oflhe.GUi Section of
(he Act of Assembly of PennsylviTriia of 1847, in
regard to the ate of the jails of the Commonwealth.
The repeal of this clause iacssenllal to tho carrying
out, honestly and faithfully, the spirit of the Act or
Congress, and the clause In the Constitution’ofthe
U. States in guaranteeing to the South the delivery
of their fugitives from labor;' Gov. Johnston secs
fanatics in the North and Smith mad on these qaes.
lions, and their actions practically leading to die*
union. One parly, cries out for' their, guaranteed
lights, and the other strives to have those right* via*
laled on every occasion. * For the purpose of throwing
a great obstacle Vo the 'way of tho reclamation of
* fugitive slaves, and withdrawing all facilities from
tho roaster that could be done by State, legislation,
this act of 1847 was slyly, and without proper in*
spcction, passed, and worked (he wrong its friends
intended, to admiration. When the people discovered
its operation, and that it was in violation of tho sphil
of our solemn compact with the Southern States, and
in violation of every principle of honor that binds
ua as sn honest people,* and a magnanimous Com*
monwealth, they caused their Legislature of last
year to pass an act* repealing the 'section of the act
of 1847, which worked this fraudulent and injurious
result. This lasi was an act creditable to bur faith*
showing s willingness to retract when we found that
wo had unwittingly broken our vows, and to retrace
our steps when we had fallen loto error. After it
had passed both Houses, it was sent to Gov. John*
ston for his approval, and Ae very cooly put it in hie
pocket! The people wish to know, hi* views on this
question. One party of fanatics, for a pretended
philanthropy, arc anxious to see him violate all our
pledges and promises to the South—another, party
are equally anxious to have our honor maintained,
arid such rights granted as are requlrodhy the spirit
of oar compact. Govi Johnston is travelling over the
< State for tho purpose of expressing his views, that the 1
people may know how he stands in regard to all the
political questions that ; ore how agitated. This is
his avowed object, to. give them an opportunity to
vole underslandiogly. Yet, when called upon loci,
press his opinion in regard to this unjust clause in
the Acf of 1847, la Meadvifle, he said he had 11 put
the hill in hie pocket—he hod it there now, and would
keep it there until three day a after the meeting of the
.Legislature.” The pi aip English of this is, that he
does not wish to ht tho" people know whether he Is
In favor of it or not. So Ib&l those wbo aro opposed
to it may vole for him under tho belief that he Is
appoted to it, and those In favor ofthe repeal may
vote for him under the belief that he it in favor of
U. N o other Interpretation can be given Xo hit con
duct. Bat contrast with this the conduct or Colonel
B/OLn, flO(f yoo find a caadfdala befors ib« people
who openly avoirs his sentiments, and declares boldly
in the hearing of every one who chooses to listen,
that bo is in favor ofthe repeal of that clause in the
Act of 1847, and honestly leaves the people to vote
for or against him in accordance with their approval
or disapproval of Ida sentiments. Such is the differ,
ent course pursued by Col. Bigler and William F.
Johnston.
The Election on Tuesday.
Democrats! wo will nolbatc another opportunity
ofaddreaaihg you previous to .tho election. During
the canvass, wo have discharged our duly to the best
ofour ability, aud it now remains for our Democrat
tie friends to discharge their duty. And now, we
urge upon you to be active and energetic in (he good
old cause. Stick to your nonAnpled ticket! The
plain duly ofall good Democrats is to slick to their
party and the old Undmorks—to auatain Us princi*
pies by electing the candidates nominated by (be
proper authority according to established usage.—
Volunteering is nothing but Federalism in disguao,
and la an old trick of the enemicto of the Democratic
party. " Divide, dietract, and eonguor," la their
motto—principles they have none. Bui wo'trust the
honest yeomanry of. Cumberland county understand
their schemes too well to be caught in eo weak a gull,
trap. Who ever heard of the Whlgi of Lancaster
getting up a Volunteer, ticket? They know better
than to plot their own downfall in this way, and ws
think (he Democracy of Cumberland are not Jess

Robert M. llcNuxatoi*, Esquire, one of the Federal
nominees for Asacmlly, boasle that he can "control* 1
and receive the Voles of fifty Democrats of Carlisle.
Wo hope there Js no tr uth in this—we cannot believe
(here Is even one Democrat In Carlisle green enough
to coat his vole for this young upstart. Remember.
Democrats, this same Robert M. Henderson, In all
his speeches, in speaking of Democrats, Invariably
applies to them the vilest epithets. On many occa

of you se “ vile Locofocof,” a* "agrarians," "liars,"
Ac. Ho has stigmatized your candidate for Cover,

is the man who says that be can " control" Demo*

knowledge has. Mri Henderson of the want! and
wishes of the people of this county 7 If we may
judge from the; want of information ho displays In
his various haly speeches, we rolher guess he would
be doing himself mooh more service by attending .to
Ills hooks than by osplrlbg to a scat In the Legists,

Democrats! Look at the columns of the llcrald o I
last week, and see the strong appeals there mado to
the Whigs not to support any ** Locofoco." Look at
(be vile abuse heaped upon yOur able Representative,
Mr. Donuau, and note the manner in which that vile
and Infamous sheet misrepresents Mr. Bonham's po.

Talk to your ftiemls,—talk to tho Federalists—tel)

their lives after have, cause to regret it. See such
men, and talk to thorn about the company they are
in—expostulate with thorn about casting a vole now
that may afterwords be a reproach noi only upon

JOHNSTON DETECTED !
An old gentleman called at our office a few days
since—a. man porhops sixty years of age. After
pssiing the compliments of the day, we ask.ed him
if ho resided in this county 7 ** No,” said ho,:V‘ 1 live
In Lancaster county, and tho object of my .visit to
Cumberland county is to purchase & farm for my
yoqngest son, who will soon bo of egc." We asked
him ifho wished to look over the advertising columns
of our paper. “ Yes, that is what 1 colled for,” he
answered. Wo handed him a copy of our paper, and
directed his attention to the page bonUinfng (he real
estate advertisements. After reading thorn over
carefully, he pul the paper in his pbeket 1 , and resum*
cd conversation.
“ Well,” said he, f* what political ncws have you?”
“ Nothing particular. Id this county wo expect to
give Cul. Bigler some 400. majority, and elect; our
county ticket,V wo answered.
Well,’’said he, “ I have always been.a Whig.
I have never yot voted any other than tho Federal or
Whig ticket, but IcarCl vote for Johnston."
11 We ore glad to hoar yotr say so; but whaTnio
your, <Johnston 7”. we asked.
“ He is a dishonest man, and is not ashamed to tell
d lie, and I can’t Vote for a mao like him,” remarked
(he old gentleman,-ivi([i emphasis. ' i
11 'Wilt you please explain?” we asked/
11 Yes. You see Johnston mado a speech at Lon*
caster, after his nomination/ He told us he had paid
off half a million of the State debt, and at the same
lime bad reduced the. amount of taxes on real estate,
and that the fariqqrs wore not paying as heavy taxes
new as they paid during Mr. Skunk’s administra
tion.”" ' o
*• Oh, yes/’ we remarked, ” that was certainly a
great falsehood.”
• ” Yes, it was a groat falsehood, and -my receipts
for Stsle (axes for the farm I have lived on for thirty
years, is proof of the falsity of Johnston’s assertion;
After listening to his speech, Trade home, and com
pared my receipts, and found that 1 had.paid con
siderably more State tax on my firm, for the last
three yqars, .than I had ever, paid for three years
previous. My taxes for the three years of Governor
Johnston’s administration are some #lB mors than
I paid during the three years and & half that. Mr.
Sliunk was Governor.”
. ” Wo arc very glad youliavo taken the trouble to
investigate this matter,” wo remarked.’ “ If oil for
mers would do the same, Johnston-would soon dis
cover dial he is mistaken when. 1 he supposes (ho
people 100 ignoronl to detect his falsehoods.”
V I cannot vote for. Johnston—ho is e, dishonest
man and a cheat/’ remarked the old.gentleman, os
he bid us good morning, and left our offioe. A *
Now, this Is ho trumped up story. The above
conversation actually took place in our office. Nflw,
farmers of Cumberland county, the FodoralifcroW
of this, place has asserted that the farmers have paid
less (axes'under Johnston's administration than they
paid under Shunk's. 1 Jdstcompare your lax receipts,
as did the old Lanoastcr counly farmer, and you will

VILLAINY—LOOK OUT 1
A most base and villainous attempt |o traduce the
character of our excellent candidate for President
Judge, was exposed and cheeked ‘on Saturday fast*
It appears that a hypocritical end sycophantic “half
breed" Democrat, of Bloomfield, Perry county, wrote
too letters to Whig Lawyers iu this place,suggesting
the propriety of getting cut handbills, a few days
before the election, and after the last issue of the
Democratic papers of the District, denouncing Mr.
CaAMAu os “Ibo President of. ft Shaving Shop," in
Carlisle—moaning tiio Carlisle Deposit Bank. These
handbills wore to bo flooded over Perry county. The
letters suggested that it would be so excellent scheme
for Perry county, and to assert in (he bills (hat the
Bank 41 was in (he habit of. buying up-rotten and
depreciated paper and circulating it." The matter
was taken into consideration by (he Whig regulators
Iu town, who held a caucus on the subject, and sent
out their spies to see if they could drum up any per
aon desperate arid depraved enough to assert and
stand up to such falsehoods. But (hey could find no
rteff.etoble man willing to do it.
Il ls understood,-however, (hat the bills were to
be published in this borough on Friday, and circu
lated immediately throughout Perry county. But
fortunately for the ctmse of truth, there happened
to be one man laying claim to a character for hon
esty, and who had been consulted In regard to this
diabolical conspiracy, whose conscience became
top heavy to cany, and he exposed the whole mat
, ter. On Saturday, the ‘‘regulators 1 ’ found that
i the secret was out, and their " scheme for. Perry {
i county" knocked on (lie head. They all look like
- condemned culprits when the Perry county letter
’ is mentioned, and try to clear their own skirts,-by
i throwing all the odium on the author of tha letters.

tlon for Uie formation of the Constitution, the North
ern delegates naturally took a stand against tho
institution of slavery, as being politically injurious,
and opposed to the common feelings of humanity.—
These assertions were partly admitted by tlia mom
bers from (he South; but,(hoy replied, with groat
force, that the Institution had been, saddled on them
—that it was so ‘ interwoven into their system of
society that'll was impossible to get rid of it—that
slave labor had. become necessary to tho peculiar
productions of. the South—and that they wore poli
tically their, recognized property, On these ques
(ions, tho union of Uie thirteen Stales was in danger
of never being consummated. At lost a compromise
was effected, by the South entering into a covenant
not to import, or allow- (he importation of slaves after
- a ccrtoin pcfiod, in’consideralidn that the Northern
Stales should hold tnoiofoU their right of property in
slaves, add deliver them up whin they should escape
into the territory of tho Northern Slates. In scaling
tliis solemn contract, the 3d clause of the 3d section
of tho Gth Article of the Constitution of tho United
States was adopted. Under this clause, the right of
property was as strongly recognized in slaves os it
was in any other property that the master possessed,
and, liy virtue ofii, ho could pursue his fugitive into
any portion of (he Union, and lake him withouflcgnl
process. In time, however, by. the efforts of aboli
tionists, the life of the master became endangered,
whenever he attempted to exercise this right in any
Northern State. The master,or his agent, was beaten
down by armed mobs; and his properly rescued from
his-possession, .and tho olause in the Constitution
beoaido adeo*d letter/ The cry of disunion. Wat then
raised, on tho ground that (he. compact entered.into
in (lie Constitution had been broken by the North,
and that thus tho agreement which hud bound, the
Slates together had.bcen virtually ; disßolved. A new
compromise was then entered into, between the North
ern ond.Southern Slates, boforeitko iatl Congress.—
Among many great and conflicting Interests, this one
was settled, by the South agreeing that their slaves,
when arrested as fugitives,.should bo taken before a
Commissioner of the United Slates, whore (he ques
tion of their owing service should be tried, and a
decision given in accordance with the . fuels. In
consideration of this being done, the North again
ooiimnly covenanted to interpose no obstacles in tho
way of the master retaking his property to his own
home, floncothe compromise became a,unil in .which
the stipulations jyere all esntered and ni eg'ed, Thus,
then, this act, which has settled the storm that was
likely to rupture our bond of Union, stands in the
nature of a centred,.ond is. to bo viewed as totally
different in'its essence from tho ordinary acts of com-
men legislation, although technically.similar. Yet
in regard to. this act. Gov. Johnston declares IhavMie
will never cease to agitate the question of Its repeat
or modification ! He is not content to let the Union
rest in peace,' but for hts own political aggrandizement
and elevation, he must try to stir ,up another hurri.
cane to disturb the harmony ond good-feeling which
was again just beginning to bless our whole nation,
under the benign influence of what is called '• the.
compromise.” But how Is Its repeal or modification
to be accomplished, without the assent .of both par
ties—without the assent of the SbufA| as well as the
North?' .'lf the North could command a majority, to
repeal or modify those parts, which secure Southern
rlghta/coQldrthoy' not fairly charge Dawillifraud,
and a violation of oar promises—and would they nol
have good reason to suppose that ihey cpuld no longer
act in union with us, without surrendering their
right of properly. entirely V-or submit to insults and
violence on every occasion?

MECHANICS, rally to tho Rapport of Henry S:
Ritter, (ho Democratic candidate for Register. Mr.
RUler ia a hard working mechanic—a man of spot*
less character, and one ef our very best citizens, lie
is poor; with a largo family dependent upon linn for
support* Of Gorman parentage, he speaks tho Ger*
man iongarag'e equally as welt as (he English, which
is a matter of much importance and convenience lo
our Gorman follow citizens having business to trans*
act in the Register's office, Cut, independent of ell
these considerations, Mr.‘RiltorV intrinsic merits
should commend him .to tho support of every man
who desires to see our pnblic'officcs held by faithful,
competent, and moral men. No man within our
knowledge is hotter qualified to fill this office In a
creditable manner to himself, and with profit lo the

To Worh, Democrats, To WorUI
The lime is short within which to work before (ho
election. Never before was the Democracy ofCum.
bcrland called more imperiously and earnestly than
now, to moke every sacrifice of personal feeling,and
come up united to tho support of every condldule
upon the ticket. Obliterate private animosities, bury
old bickerings, and come up like'men who battle for
principles, who desire Io sco our flag once more hi
complete triumph in old Cumberland.. Give not an
inch to tho enemy. Let lire Democracy present a
solid column, each , candidate receiving a decided
majority. The day is ours if we desire to have it.
Every, persuasion will bo used; misrepresentation
resorted to, to induce Democrats to vole fur. one or
more ofiho Whig ticket. '.Bland firm jbe not coaxed
or deceived; repel' like men every such attempt lo
•eduee'you from your integrity. Remember that it
Is impdssible to save our Stale ticket, unless every
Democrat is unyielding. If you would not defeat
Col. Bigler,.resolve now, reso|vo firmly to support the
whole ticket. It ia in (his wsy you euve yourselves
(he annoyance of being bond by the Federalists.—
Repel them promptly end decidedly, and they will
nut come again with blandishments. Tho day is
ours. If yoq would share the victory, U euro you
are faithful., - -
