Our locofoco cotemporaries in the neighbor
ing counties ar volunteering some sage advice
la ihe pe p!e of Lew i-'.own respecting the Bank
< g IE about t? he established here, and
speak of it as a E .A. Between two such in
stitutions there is so wide a difference that we
cannot well see how any one could mistake a
private establishment, a mere office of discount
and deposite, for a corporation with power to I
issue notes, Ac.

The whigs of I'.,ion county on .Monday last j
nominated the follow 1: g ticket :
,Ixsembly—Col. Eli Slifer. of Lewi-burg.
Sheriff —Archibald Thomas, of Union.
C> L iiissiontr —John "Wilt, of Hartley.

.hiJUor —Harrison H. Blair, of Lewisburg.
Coroner —Jacob Martin, of Perry.
Trutteri </ the Acaitmg —David
Watson, Samuel Stitier, John Kline.
Henry W. Snyder. Esq., was appointed Re- |
presentative Delegate to tha State Convention,
and James Moore recommended as Senatorial
Delegate. [Our county meeting nominated
Captain Thomas Watson, in consequence of no
one having been hitherto named, but we under
take to say that it will be satisfactory in any |
way that Captain Wataon and Mr. Moore will
arrange the matter.]
ELECTION'S —ln Tennessee the locofocos hare
elected their Governor, and claim a gain of
three member; of Congress.
In Kentucky, politics are so much mixed up i
With Emancipation and Slavery, that it is diffi- 1
cult to come at the facts.
la Indiana the prospects are that the whigs '
will gain a member or two in Congress.
In North Carolina the Congressional dclega- j
lion will stand a; before, unless Stanley has i
been defeated—three counties remain to he
heard from.
ESCAPE. —A man named RIDDLE, who was in
dicted for an assault with intent to kill, deiib
crat ly walked from the Court House on Wed
nesday la-t while the jury was rendering it;
■verdict of " guilty" against him, and succeeded
in making his escape. He had been liberated
under bail, on whom we presume w ill rest the
re?j nubility of apprehending him.
Angus! Interest.
The semi-atinuil interest on the public debt
ci Pennsylvania, due on th; lit inst., was
promptly paid in par funis in Philadelphia,
by the .State Treasurer. This is the first iitoe
since the resumption of the ; ay men t of the in
terest on the b ate debt, that it .as Leon paid
i:i par funds, and tells well for the honor of the
Commonwealth.
The Chief Engineer of the Pennsylvania Rail
road advertises in the Holiilaysburg papers for
a quantity of white pine or hemlock lumber,
and 1400 cross lies for each mile of r-od bc

The Blair County Whig, c oting our para

For some li'.ne past our tov n lies been dis
graced by a scries of drunken brawls, perhaps
without 11 parallel in its history, which have
at last ended in the brutal beating todeathof a
man named JOHN WRIGHT. Peace loving cit
izens have long looked fur such a result, from
the leniency with which those most interested
suffered a set of vagabonds to do as they p'eae
. Ed without resorting to the law for redress.
• As brawl and riot progressed, hopes were still
entertained iliat the sworn officers ot justice
would awake to their duty, but all in vain, and
it was reserved for the crowning act of these
j scandalous proceedings to be enacted before the
! eves of indges and grand jurcrs, attorneys,
magistrates, and constables, without so much
as an effort to arrest the party committing it !
; Even when the unfortunate man so cruelly
beaten was lying in the throes of death, Win.
Eisenbise was actually engaged in another
fight, and though die crowd around was again
i and again solicited by his own father to lake
I him to jail, it was not done.
1 The question may well be asked, by those
who love peace and order, to what stute of
tilings are we hastening, when the laws are
thus violated with impunity and our streets
made a menagerie of rowdies from the boy of
ten years to the in 1 grown man! Must we in
I truth, like a band of savages, go armed with
pistol and dagger when walking our streets,
from a fear that some drunken rufiian will as
sail either life or property, or shall we live as a
j civilized community, protected by laws enforced
| against the strong as well as the weak! It is
i time, full time, that the-e questions sli uld be
: decided, and it is also time to know whether
there are not officers whose duty it is to queii
disturbances, or if they know of violations of
the peace at public houses, to report them to
the higher authorities. If there are nonesuch,
tiiere certainly should be, and the sooner provi
sion is made for their appointment the better.
An occasional brawl will take place in almost
any community, and may be overlooked, but
for months past there has been more rioting and
j fighting in Eevvistown than there ought to be in
i any town of its size.
J THE AFFP.IT. —The cireum?t.ince; attending
the death of J its' WEIGHT, as near as we can
gather them, are as follows: On Tuesday af
ternoon some altercation took place between
William Eisenbise and John \V right, which at
the time resulted in nothing serious. F.isen
bise (who was considerably intoxicated) how
ever followed up Wright, although the latter
is said to have repeatedly tcld the former that
lie was no match for hnu in fighting, until they •
reached the alley near Freeburn's smith-shop.
Eisenbise there caucrht Wright by the arm and
struck at him. but did not hit him—the blow
, having made, as we are informed, an indenta
tion in a board fence which many supp .;e could
not have been made by the knuckles of Eisen- (
bise alor.e, although one of the strongest men !
in the county. Eisenbise then threw Wright
over his head, jumped on him, and struck t.im
1 three or four blows on the head, when he was
taken off. it was at once perceived that Wright
was dangerously injured, and he was imrnedi-
I ately conveyed to Major Eisenbise's hotel, and
: medical assistance called in. His wounds w ere
| dressed, and although for a short time he ex
hibited favorable symptoms, he expired on
Wednesday morning.
A post mortem examination was made by
Drs. Ard, Worrall, T. \V T. Howard \ anvui
zah, and others, which proved that the brain
was injured by a fracture of the skull.
Wright, we have been told, was not consid
ered a very quarrelsome man, and during the
lifetime of his wife, who died a year or two
since, is said to have conducted himself with
much propriety. He leavr 5 four children —the
eldest a daughtei about 16 years oM —one of
whom is now at Hollidjyshurg, and the others
at Philadelphia,
j Shortly after this brutal assault v. as made, a
man named John Long, while looking at the
bruised and battered head of Wright, observed
that hi mould like to hi the man irho could Ir.y him
out in that van, or something to that effect,
when William Eisenbise at once declared that
he could do it, and the result was another fight.
Long however proved a rough customer, and
gave his opponent a pair of black eyes, togethi r
; with sundry marks about his face that weeks
will not obliterate. Eisenbise remained about
town until within a few minutes of the death of
Wright, without any attempt being made to ar
re-t him, when he crossed the Lcwistown and
Tuscarora Bridge and made for the mountains.
, He was seen by several persons at Bixlcr's Gap
j during that day, and is represented as being al
most unable to see ar.d to be otherwise so much
bruised as to be unfit for travelling. His friends,
it is supposed, have siace then provided him
with a retreat in the hills, or aided his escape,
nothing further having been heard of Lis where
abouts up to the time of our going to pre-s. A
reward of f>oo 13 offered for his arrest and con
finement in any jail in this commonwealth.

WniG COUNTY MEETING.
The Whigs of Aliffiin assembled at the
Town ilail < n Tuesday evening, ar.d were or
ganized by the appointment of the following
officers :
President.
CO I. \VM. REED.
Vice Presidents.
Col WILLIAM CUMMINS,DANIEL BROUGHT,
SAMUEL MORRISON, \VM. T. BELL, E.-q,
Secretaries.
Judge CrisicfU. James A. Fearce,
llenry McFadden.
On motion cf George Frysinger, a commit
tee of five was appointed to report resolution?
for the consideration of the meeting, 'i he
chair named
George Frysinger, Adam Sigler.
E. E. Locke. J- F. Cut'.reil,
Atlatn Ilolliday,
who accordingly retired, and subsequently re
ported the following, which were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved. That the Administration cf Gen.
Taylor, thus far, meets with our cordial ap
probation— is alike conclusive that while actu
ated by pure and just motives, he is not un
mindful of that great party by whose votes lie
was elevated to power, and that, despite the
hyena bowlings of glutted office-holders and
their sycophant-, he hat- the more! courage to
remove those who, with the cry of rotation on
ilu ir lips, cling to every petty emolument with
the tenacity that "drowning men hold en to
STJWS."
lies Ived, That if in exercising the appoint
ing power, some have been elevated who were
perhaps not deserving of such distinction, we
would rather attribute their appointment to
recommendations—too oiten got for UM ash
ing by those whose principles are altogether
centered in self —than to a desire, on the part
of the President, to run counter to the popular
will.
Resolved, That WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON has
fch wn himself a true and tried friend of Penn
sylvania interests, whom neither factious
c.iques nor unprincipled opponents cou'd
swerve from the path of duty: worthy of the
confidence reposed in him by the people of a
great State, .10 intelligent or unprejudiced
man can withhold from him the praise of "well
done, thou good and faithful servant."
Resolved , That in Gideon J. Ball, the whig
State Treasurer, the locofocos have caught a
• tartar' who has already taught them that the
People's Money (wrung from them by onerous
taxation) is not to be squandered with impuni
ty, or used for speculating purposes by those
who have grown w fat on State pap as to be
come as saucy as fat, without his letting the
taxpayers and laborers know where tiie.r mo
ney goes to.
Resolved , That if the laborer is worthy of
his lure, as was asserted by a locofoco canal
coin mi- oner at a recent celebration, the non
labtrrer is not —and theref *e Morris Ixmg
streth is requested to refund into the Stale
Treasury $973 of the £IOOO he drew, as $23,
in our opinion, w uld be full pay for ail the
services he rendered the State last year.
Resolved, That the *higa of Mifflin adheie
to their timc-h itr red name and principles with
a firm reliance that they constitute the true
democratic 'platform on which our country is
progressing in its careci of usefulness, integ
rity and virtue. With one of cur great lend
ers " we would rather EE RIGHT than be Pre
sident;" and hence, while we welcome to our
ranks the oppressed of all nations, we stoop
not to entrap them by professing what we do
cot practice —or, in other words, call ourselves
democrats and advocate high-toned federal
principles.
Resolved, That Thomas 11. Benton having
lately discovered that whig* ore rnrji uho pay
taxes and Jig ht for their country, it is tube
hoped that other distinguished locofocos will
soon be similarly enlightened.
During the evening, excellent speeches
were delivered by JAMES T. HALE, E-q, of
Beiiefonte, Gen. Wa. 11. IRWIN, and A. K.
CORNYN, Esq., of Huntingdon, and some point
ed remarks made by Mr. C. UACOHLIKO, of
Newton Hamilton.
W.M. P. ELLIOTT, Esq. was then appointed
Representative Delegate to the Whig State
C nven* 1 n, and Ciiptu n THOMAS WATS IN,
Senatorial, (with full power to act as such in
case neither Union nor Juniata has named a
Senatorial Delegate.)
LOCOFOCO COl MY CONVENTION.
This August body assembled at the Town
Ha i on Monday hst, and after an arduousses-
nominated the following ticket:
For Assea.b'y —ALEXANDER GIBBONY, of
Union tow nship.
Commissioner —GAßßlEL DENMIRE, of Oli
ver township.
* Treasurer — ROUT. H. MOCLINTICK, of LOW*
istown.
Auditor —CYRUS DOR MAN, of Decatur town
ship.
JOSEPH ALEXANDER, Esq, of Lewistown,
v. is elected Representative Delegate to the
next Democratic Siate Convention.
John Puree!!, of Wayne, John Stine, Jr.,
of Oliver, and James Hail, of Brown, were
elected Conferees to elect, with Juniata and
Union c unties, a Senatorial Delegate to the
next Stale Convention.
There was not much difficulty experienced
in the nominations fur Commissioner, Trea
surer, and Auditor, rur friend .McClintick hav
ing had the promise so long that the party
could not well get over it, and Dunmire per
haps the same, while Auditor is "small pota
toes" at the best, the office not being worth
more than isl ur $3 per annum; but for Le
gi-laturo there was a war of words as well as
.1 hatful of tailorings. Dr. Mitchell received
17 votes on the first ballot, lacking but two of
a nomination—the remainder having been cast
for T. F. McCoy, Porcel. Gibbony, &c.—but
nr. the convention never intended to nominate
him, ho was gradually letdown into his politi
cal grave with the following salvo :
Resolved, That the course of 11. J. Walters,
fvq , and Dr. G. V. Mitcheii, our delegates to
the late convention at Pittsburgh, on the 4th
of July, whereat John A. GambU', of Lycom
ing county, was put in nomination ! r (.'ana!
Commissioner, meets with our cordial ap
proval.
The friends of Captain McCoy hung on to
their candidate with all the zer.l and fervor
that friends could, but neither his services in
tho Mexi -an war nor his services to the demo
cracy of Mifflin at home, could induce a major
ity to vote fur him.
The American Phrenological Journal and
Water-Cure Journal, for August, have come
to hand. Both of these publications are edited
with great ability, and cannot fail to prove in
teresting even to the common reader The
articles or. Physiology and Anatomy in the
Water-Cure Journal will give any one a bet
ter idea of the human system than anything
we have seen in print. Published by Fowlers

IIOLDKN'S DOLLAR MAGAZINE for August
has a large amount ot excellent reading mat
ter, embracing the grave, gay, and romantic,
and illustrated as usual by a number ofengrav
ings. Published by Chas. \V. IlolJen, New-

The Board of Canal Commissioners was in
session at Congress Hall, Philadelphia, in the
beginning of this week, the principal business
before it being the examination of the bids for
the construction of the road to avoid the In
clined Piane. The number of applicants for
contracts on the seven sections is one hundred
and twenty-six, and the bidders are said to be
among the best and most responsible contrac
tors in the .State. The prices asked are gen
erally quite low, end there is scarcely a doubt
that tiie Slate appropriation will bo sufficient.
FATHER MATHEW continues his temperance
labors in Boston. In two days, last week, he
administered the pledge to between fur and
five thousand persons. One good effect lias
been to shut up a large number of drinking
houses *on Sunday. Many persons come from
the country on purpose to take the pledge at
his hands. Since he has been in Boston, he is
said to have administered the pledge to
persons.
The Post says that while administering the
pledge to a groupe of his countrymen, among
whom were two or three 'hard-looking sub
jects,' the worthy father gave them the fol
lowing good advice: —
'Keep clear,' said be,'of intoxicating drink
and you will soon be in better plight. Save
your money, and go West, w here land is cheap
and the hand of man is wanted. While you
are in the habit of intemperance, you often
drink up the value of an acre ot land in a night
So keep sober, lay up your money, and leave
tins part of the country, where tiie iabor-mar
ket is overstocked.'
We know some in this region uho would do
well by following tins advice, instead of spend
ing their hard earned money in buying whis
key.
DEATH CP A PIONEER.—The Cincinnati
Chronicle announces the death, in Gaiiatin,
Ky., of Captain Jacob White, one of the very
earliest settlers of the Miami Valley, in the
O-'U year of his age. While a boy he left
N' w Jersey, with his father's family, for the
Redstone settlement, on the western frontier
of Pennsylvania, and was at that place when
the Declaration of Independence was adopted
and published. He nnngled fiecly in the
frontier conflicts of the revolutionary war. and
the Chronicle says of his subsequent career:
He was one of the smail party that planted
themscives at the mouth of tiie Little Miami,
and commenced the village of Columbia, in
the la 1 i ol 17—\ which was the first settlement
made within the limits of Judge Sy mines' pur
chase. Being a bold, fearless adventurer, lie
left the settlement, erected a block-house on
his land, seven or eight miles in the wilder
ness, to which he removed his family and be
gan an improvement, soon after the commence
ment of the Indian war which was terminated
by the treaty of Greenville, in 1793. During
the war, his block-house was attacked bv a
strong party of Indians, who were repulsed,
and compelled to retreat. In the morning the
body uf one of the Indians was found dead on
the ground, so near to the block-house, that
his companions were unwilling to incur the
risk of an attempt to carry him off.
Friithlfnl Eailroiiu Accident.
A frightful accident occurred on Thursday
morning of last week, on the New Jersey rail
road, near Princeton, to the train which left
Philadelphia f r New York at 0 o'clock.
S me wicked wretch, it appears, had displaced
the sw tch at a turn out, and the train running
oil the track; the locomotive, tender, and bag
gage crates were thrown into tiie canal. The
following is a 1 st ot the kiileu and wounded,
as published in the Philadelphia papers cf Fri
day morning:
KJled. —Win. Conover and a German un
known.
Wounded. —James Hollingsworth and his
wife Saruh Ann, Matthias North, Eliza Bryan,
Chas. Naslbury, Win. Miikburne, Martin Mer

From the Colonization Herald.
REV. WILLIAM M. HALL.
It is with much concern that we are obliged
to announce the resignation ot Mr. llai! as
Agent of the Pennsylvania Colonization Soci
ety. His business engagements have been so
much interrupted by infirm health as to pre
vent his sustaining any longer those relations
with the Society, from which both he anil j
anticipated the most satisfactory results. We
subjoin the resolutions passed "by the Board of
Managers on the occasion of his r :signalion.
R/ solved, That ns the Rev. Mr. Hall has
rendered his resignation as Agent of tiie Board,
his resignation be accepted, but at the same
time the Board deeply regret that the state of
.Mr. Hail's health and the immediately urgent
neci.-sity of the Society, compel us to part with
a gentleman in whose zeal, fidelity, and intel
ligence. they have the highest confidence.
Resolved, That the Board collectively and
individually, tender to Mr. Hall their senti
ments of cordial esteem, and their most hearty
w.thcs for his health and happiness.
Mr. Hail, with the consent of the Board, had
intended tn act for awhile on behalf of the So
ciety in some of the counties in the central
part ot the state; but we grieve In sav, that an
affection of his eyes arrests him even in this
more limited circle of action.
The Cholera is still slightly decreasing in all

M. Lediu Rollin, he will now become th

The seats recently occupied bv M,..
sietirs Ledru Rollin, B ic, Felix Pvjt.a:
Mathieu (de la Borne.) are now occupied
by the declared adversaries of SocialUm.—
Messieurs Djpont (de Busac)ainl I'locon,
who had been set up by the Socialists in
several departments, were all unlucky
they themselves, as well as their colleagues,
.Messieurs Goudcliaux and Gurnard. were
in Paris. M. de Lamartiue has been elect
ed lor two places, but he is not considered
as a Red Republican. lie will probably
ultimately join the Cavaignac party, which
may be c.ill-d the real Republican party,
and which therefore, opposes both the re
actionnaires and the Red Republicans.—
The gre.Mest number of the new members
are of the old Conservative, or, as it WHS
called, the dermatic party. Of pore Le
gitimists there were only four, and of the
personal a iherents of the President only
two.
A letter from Paris dated the 19:fi says
that the Pojte had sent an autogiaph letter
of thanks to Louis Napoleon: and lias, as
is assured in a good quarter, given to the
French government very satisfactory as
surances as to his determination to give
good constitutional institutions to his sub
jects. It is believed that his manifesto
wiil be published iu the course of a few
days..

the impression that Pius IX is expected
soon to return to the Quirinal. All the
wounded have been removed from that
palace. The French are doing all ther
can, distributing money, due., to get up a
cry in his favor, but in va:n. The Roman
troops who had agreed in the first instance
to do duty conjointly with the French are
all leaving, and the force remaining now
amounts to less than 1,000 ir.en. Of
j these many were anxious to leave, but
General Oudinot would not give conges.
The Pope's engiceers having been asked
to make a demonstration in his favor, pre
ferred quitting the service. Thirty-niae
out of forty-seven resigned, and ail the
rank and file were disbanded- The same
thing occurred in the artiSleiy. all the ol
ficers having resigned, with the exception
of three captains and a sergeant. *1 he rea
son given is, that the French authorities
relused to give litem any promise or guar
antee as to the protection ol the rights of
the people.
General Oudinot has dismissed all the
persons in office under the Republican
Government, and even under Pius l\.
himself, and put in their places all persons
whom he could find that had held office
under Gregory XV L
The strangers at Rome during thes.ege
may be thus cl assified :—Poles, 200;
French, 50 ; Spaniards, Germans, and oth
er foreigners, 100 ; Italians, not Romans,
3000. The rest were all Romans.
Garibaldi has succeeded in making bis
escape good from the French division, who
were put upon a false scent, and he is now
on the mountains of the Arbruzzi. Pre

secured the ammunition and mi'.itarv store-'.
