Democratic Whig Nomination. CANAL COMMISSIONER. HENRY M. FULLER. OF H'ZEBVE COI'XTY. AN EXTRA, containing eight col- j umns of advertisements, accompanies to-day's Gazette. Xugbanm, Broth.-re, have a l>t of V\v (Lvo.ls which ( are well ndapted, both in pi.ee ar.d quality, lo please Ilteir ' mimerou* frien.is. The Lew islovvn Academy, an excellent inttilutton, v. ill 1 ac ihe opened on M.m.iay week Mr. WatUoa wants some information respecting a stiav steer. Mr. Elder has two auditors notices. The a 'mreri of Arthur's work* are retailed to Mr rcterson's adverti*. Un i t. The Sabbath School Teachers and Children of l: iC Lutheran Church had nn agreeable par ty on Tuesday last on the banks of the Kisha c v]H his creek, near Shaw's mil!. The chil i ren, we learn, enjoyed themselves highly, and returned much pleased with the recreation af ter. ej them by their teachers. Rmn —The long continued swell of hot and ' Jrv weather was broken yesterday morning by copious showers, doubtiess as grateful to the rvirched earth as to our citizens generally. HI.VGARY. —Tremendous meeting's in favor of the gallant Hungarians have been held in various parts of the United States. If that r.ot'.e people continue successfully to resist the hired bands of Austria and Russia, we shall not be surprised to hear that thousands of Americans have Down to aid her in the unequal struggle. IIENRY M. FELLER, Esq., the Whig can didate fur Canal Commissioner, is represented as a gentleman otfine business qualifications, and would make an efficient member of the Canal Board. lie represented I.uzerne conn'y last winter, in the Legislature, having been elect ed from that strong locofoco county by several hundred majority. The great importance of having a Whig in the Board, will be apparent to every one, and wc trust the Whigs of Mifflin county will bo prepared at the proper time to make a vigorous effort towards securing his election. Our Borough authorities have been busily engaged during tue summer iu repairing our ( streets, and they are now without question in j better condition than they have been at any ' time heretofore. The public square has also been repaired in an excellent and substantial manner, and presents a striking contract to its former rugged appearance. The exercise ot a proper economy has demonstrated that SUMtO ROW go as far, if not further, than S2OOO did formerly, and it continued, a year or two hence will see all the streets in complete repair— the Lorougli free from debt—and the old belter rkciter system ot doing business on orders, dec. < ntirely discarded. Some provision should new be made fo keep the streets clean. CENTRAL RAILROAD. —A large party of In dies and gentlemen from Hrrrisburg, includ ing Fcan, McKinley, McCurdy, ami other members of the press, arrived here on Thurs day fast, and after a stay of three or four hours returned homewards. Some ceremonies took j :ace, or were to take place, after their arrival, which it would have given us pleasure to re cord, but the information having been volun teered to us by one of the principal manager; here that it was altogether a private affair — tome.vhat of the exclusive order, in which the citizens of Lewistown, with the exception of those specially invited as per list said to have been furnished l>y Mr. 7 hompson, the Chief Cngineer, were not expected or desired to purti< pate—wc did not attend to take note of proceedings, the pubiicatioc of which we sup p -ged would be construed as trespassing on their privacy. S. V. Merrick, R-q., lias resigned hia post a a President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The board of directors, on Satur day, elected VVm. C. Patterson, Esq., nnani moußly, his successor. The board, in accept ■ng Mr. Merrick's resignation, express a hope that he will continue in the direction. The cats commence their regular trips from Dillcrsvilie, near Lancaster, to this place to day. Prom nn advertisement in the llarris hurg Telegraph we percicve that the fare troin Iwwiatown to Ilarnsbtirg is £2.10, the highest rate allowed by law to be charged— trorn Lewistown to Dillcrsvilie £3lO. An afternoon opposition line lately ran from Co lumbia, in which they charged from Lan caster to Philadelphia— it ibis lina isi>till con tinued, the tare from Lew i.-.town to the city would be sf>, or it the old rates are charged £0 SEVEN MEN BLOWN UP.— The Huntingdon papers state that seven men were blown tip on Thursday of last week at the Tunnel about ten miles from that place. A man named Michael Hart diedcliorliy aft r, and was buried on Saturday—two others were not expected to recover—the rest were not dangcrourly in jured. THE APPROACHING CAMPAIGN. The Whig Convention, which assembled in this place last Monday, placed in nomination a County Ticket to be supported by the whigs at the ensuing election, which will he found a inor.g the proceedings of that body in anothei part of to-da\ "s paper. Composed as ni' of men of high standing, capable and honest, it commends itself to the support of every true friend of Taylor and Johnston, and to the re spectful consideration of that portion of OJL fellow-citizens who profess not to no bound by the shackles of party. We do not deem it ne cessary to enter into a biographical sketch of the men, or particularly eulogize them at the expense of their opponents —but thus much we can truthfully say, that in some respects they arc superior to the opposing candidates, and from E - circumstances, more likely to perform their duties to the public in a satisfactory man- Mr. GIBBOVY, the loeofocc candidate, i sail to be a respectable gentleman, of moderate at tainments, and if rumor is to be credited was nominated, not because lie wanted it very anx iously, but in order to lay on the shelf l>r. Mit chell, and postpone Captain .McCoy's claims to some future day. If elected, he w ill go to Har risburg, aid in organizing the locofoco party, help to throw obstacles in the way of General Tajlor's and Governor Johnston's administra tions, vote.f r or n*mnst banks and other inon >p olies, just as locofoco policy may dictate, and perhaps come home as did our friend up the river, with an idea that he could do better next tiitu. Mr. IIKFFI.ET, the whig candidate, is well known through the county as in e very re spect the equal of Mr. Gibbony in honesty and integrity, and as his superior in general infor mation and all that relates to the interests of our county ; and would thus at once be enabled to enter upon the duties of active membership, instead of going to the legislative school for a Year to learn trh it fie h ss io do and k .r to vote ! There has not been a whig in the Commis sioners' office for several years now, and wc would suggest to the tax-payers, both whig and locofocos, whether their own interests would not be consulted by placing such a man as i ELI SUA IJRATTON in that office for the purpose j of seeing whether everything there is' 4 right side up." A large amount of money, collected in taxes from both parties, is at present annually expended under the sole direction of <iw party, whether rightly or wrongfully, is more than those interested can tell. Now, it is hut fair, and we sincerely believe it would be sound pol icy for farmers and others who bear the brunt of taxation, that this money should be expend ed under the joint direction of parties who watch each other with jealous eyes. Every one knows that with a board composed of men of the same political creed, it i 3 much easier to pass over that which may be considered wrong or of doubtful utility, than if one be iu that board who will withhold his assent from what he considers an infringement on the rights of his constituents. And besides, it would make the majority more careful, cause them to ex amine doubtful matters more cautiously, and hesitate before giving them their approval. It may be said that if the commissioners do wrong, the law provides a remedy—but those who would advance this plea, know full well that it is an extremely difficult matter to ascertain the right from the wrong froin a mass of generali ties, such as are usually presented to the public eye. llcnce, sound policy would, to our view, dictate the adoption of an old adage that 44 an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." At all events, the subject commends itself to the attention of every man who pays a tax, for however small the sum, it is his money that forms a part of that expended. The same remarks will also to the Treasury. This office has been held for years by locofocos, and although the taxes generally ! got into it, the State Treasurer and Auditor General have been greatly bothered to discover where the money went to afterwards, as it fail ed to reach the Treasury at Ilarrisburg, and in some cases is still on tin read. We dare say some of the liery democracy of Milllin w hose voices arc ever and anon heard in favor of "equal rights,"' 6cc., particularly about election time, could tell where some of it went, did they desire to do so. In this state of affairs, is it not time that the tax-payers should make trial of another creed, and sec whether their interests will not be better attended to by whigs than they have been by locofoeos for the pn t ten or fifteen year*. Is there a farmer, a merchant, a mechanic, or laborer, who would continue to place his means in the hands of an unfaithful steward after a-ccrtaining that his money has not been .applied as directed ? Is there a farmer in the county who w otild continue to place his produce in the hands of a merchant after dis covering that the latter used the proceeds of his goods in speculating or paving individual liabil ities, and "at the same time jmtung off payment under specious pretexts one year after another? We think not—and yet have not a majority of the people of Miiliin county not only suffered, but aided and abetted such a state of things ; done that in a body which < very one of them would condemn when practised by individuals? Let the records at Harrisburg answer—let any one disposed to pry into them go and examine for himself, and he will learn with surprise, perhaps, that the Treasurers from this county who have gone out of office for a number of years past, with but few i xccptions, have been what the law terms defaulters! For Auditor an excellent selection lias been made from Decatur, which wo hope that town ship will endorse at the polls by old Zach'a majority. W ASHINGTON, Aug. '2B. in consequence of a telegraphic despatch received here last evening, announcing that General Taylor had again been attacked by diarrhua, and that he was lying very ill, Mrs. Taylor, the laJy nt the President, accompanied by fier daughter. Mrs. Wood, left here this morn ing en route to meet the General at Erie. l ater despatches state that the General was recovering, and would leave in u few days for Buffalo. CINCINNATI, August 29. Patrick Collins, the lale defaulting Collcc b r of the port of Cincinnati, and who lias been iil tor tome days, died in this city yesterday morning. ic"Hnivcrsal Whig Party" of Mifflin county have placed in nomination ihe follow ing ticket, with a* fair a prospect of defeat as has ever hcen presented them on any previous occasion." The ahovc is the Democrat"; preface to the whig ticket nominated on Monday last. What say our friends of the Valley ? What reply will New ton, Wayne, Oliver, and MeVeytown give to this bravado? What say Granville, Perry, glorious old Decatur, and that band of in lomitable whigs in Lcwistown who are ever, through good and evil report, at their posts - Will you stand idly by, and see your opponents i walk over the course, or as in other-days buckle on your armor and enter the contest with a de termination to dispute every inch ot ground The locofocos can, at best, but claim a mere nominal majority, and we have 110 doubt that with a full whig vote that majority can any day be reduced to <1 lltlU hss than nothing. I I', HOYS, AND AT Til KM! Since the meeting of the Pittsburgh Convcn i tion, our neighbor of the Democrat has publish ' ed two or three complimentary notices similar to the following—to soothe, we suspect, the wounds inflicted by the county convention : " Among the gentlemen with whom we form ed an agreeable acquaintance, at the Into demo cratic Convention at l'itt-hurgh, v. as lh. (.!. \ Mlrcllr.ll, the accomplished and gentlemanly j representative delegate from old Milllin. lie I is a democrat of the right stripe, and we expect soon to have the plea MI re of announcing that the democracy of hi- county have bestowed up on him some substantial evidence of their re , gard. We say this much because we believe he deserves more than he has received at our i hands."— York Democratic /'re ss. ! All this sounds very well and may be true, | but withal the Doctor seems to be more of a fa vorite out of Milllin county than he is in it, for while they consider him abroad as a " demo crat of the right stripe" and heartily profess to I wish him "sonic substantial evidence of re , gard," at home our ungrateful democracy only j send him 0:1 embassies of more honor than pro ; lit. If we were the Dr., and desired office, we believe we should pull up stakes and make j tracks for Berks, York, or some other county ! where democracy rewards such high claims in ■ a more substantial manner than newspaper I pu'i's and out-of-pocket delegations to State Con ventions. General Taylor and the Clrrry. I While the President was in Harrisburg ho was waited upon in a body by the Reverend ! Clergy of the borough. They were introduced by the Rev. Mr. Coir, of the Episcopal Church, | who, after presenting the different gentlemen, j addressed the President to the following efl'ect: 44 Sia : The Clergy of Harrisburg have called in a body to tender you their respects, and they desire to express to you their high consideration for yourself, as a man, and for your office. Your past experience in the evils of war is our surest guaranty that you will labor to secure to this nation the blessings of peace. We trust that your administration will be so guided by wisdom from above as will ensure the welfare and the prosperity of the people of these United States. And for yourself, personally, sir. wc desire happiness. We wc Icomc you to our bor ough. and hope that your visit here and through out our State w ill be both pleasant and agreea ble." To this address Gen. Taylor responded in the ! follow ing words : 44 1 thank you, gentlemen, for your kindness. My life for more than forty years has been spe nt on the frontier ot our country. Wherever there has been the most ol hardship and the most of danger, the Government has >ccn fit to rccpiire my services : so that 1 have indeed enjoyed op portunities of learning tho horrors of war. I have ever been averse to war; and, in iny nego tiations with hostile Powers, as in advising with the Government, 1 have ever advocated pacific measures. !t is natural for a people to rejoice in victory : hut ali the glories of victory cannot compensate for the losses that come upon indi viduals. Triumphs will not make up to parents for the loss of their sons, nor to the wife for the loss of her husband, nor to the child for the loss of its parent. We must bring war home to the hearth-stone to appreciate all its horrors. But while I confess my aversion to war, yet 1 must j also declare my purpose to defend the country against all aggressions ; and I would that all that is dear to n.e should perish, rather than any w rung should be done to our free institu tions. My reception in your State has been most cordial, and tho hearty welcome of this day, especially, shall never be forgotten." : The interview then closed, and the Reverend j gentlemen retired. VAU'B or LAXD.—Wc copv below a notice of the ssie oftwo farms in Maryland, both with in n few hours sail of the city markets, winch were sold at about and per acre. The land in the neighborhood of Contrevuie is well adapted to raising grain, t!v c , has every advan tage lor sending produce to market, and yet is told at a price less than tiiat paid for most of our sterile mountain tops. In any part of this State east of the Allegheny, though hundreds of miles from a city market and with no means of getting there unless by wagon or a tedious voyage on canals, similar lands would be con sidered cheap at sls per aero. An injudi cious system of cultivation and slavery make the difference. HAI.E CE LAND.—The farm of the late T. \V. Hopper, of 600 acres, was sold by i\ 15. Hopper, Jr., Esq., the Trustee,on Tuesday last in Cent re ville, for $55,991) —the farm lies on live mail road to Easton, about i miles t ; outh I rem Centre vi lie. On Tuesday, ihe 1 Jtli inst., the farm of the lute William Harper, about 55 miles north from Centreville, on the mail road to Church Hill, was sold at. public sale in Contrevilie, f>r $2550. It contained 333 acres.— Centreuille (Mtl) Times. TI:KRIIU.E TATVLITV.—S.imIu&ky City is not alone in severe aiilicticn from tho visitation of the cholcrn. In two town ships, principally settled by Germans, in Auglaize county, Ohio, tho fatality lias been unprecedented. A Irtter from So .Mary's, the county .seat, dated August 13, says; l ln Germany township, within seven miles of us. there have been fully three hundred deaths.

In pursuance of previous notice the delegates from the sevi ral boroughs and townships of Mif ' din county assembled at the Town Hall in Lcw i istovvn on Monday last, when the following gen tlemen appeared and took their scats : Dust Letrisfowii —R. !!.

NORTH and JosFrn STRODE, Secretaries. After a full interchange of opinion, the dele gates proceeded to ballot for candidates, and with much uuanimitv nominated the following ticket: ASSEMBLY, JOSEPH HEFFLEY, ESQ., of Union township. COMMISSION F.K, ELISHA BRATTON, of Oliver township. TREASLTIKIt, GEORGE CARNEY. of Lew istovvn. AUDITOR, AUGUSTUS M, INGRAM. of Decatur township. On motion of R. R. FRANKS, Esq., the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were then unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, The people of Pennsylvania, thro' the means prescribed by the Constitution of our country, having elevated to the highest offices within their gift the distinguished individuals who now preside as Chief Magistrates of the I nited States and Pennsylvania, it is the duty, as it ought to be the pride, of every voter who contributed to their election, to aid them in carrying out the principles and measures under the profession of which they were chosen—and, whereas, it 1- of essential importance that a majority of the Legislative branch of the gov ernment should not hold views contrary to the head whom the pdople have chosen, as past ex perience has shown that such ma jorities, under the influence of blind partizanship, seek more 10 embarrass the Government than to legislate for the welfare of their constituents. We would therefore urge upon the friend-, of Tay and Johnston to give the ticket this day present ed an ACTIVE, CORDIAL, AND UNITED SUITORT — to lay aside all minor differences, and thus u>e their utmost endeavors to give support and life to the principles and measures for which they contend ed last year, in furtherance of this object, he it R, solved , That Major General ZACHARY TAYLOR continues to merit our approbation in hi-- discharge of the high duties to which the voice of the American people called him, and that our confidence in his honesty, integrity and viriue remains unshaken—f< eling well assured that, regardless of the vile assaults made upon him by the minions of the late administration, he will carry through his professions as suc cessfully as he did the flag of our country on the blood-stained fields of Mexico. 11- so/red, That WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON", Governor of Pennsylvania by the will of the people, has proven himself a wise and judicious magistrate, in whose hands will rest secure the interests of his constituents and the fair fame of the Old Keystone. Fearless and free, he asks no favors, and shrinks from no responsibility presented by parti/an legi-iators who seemed : to think more of embarrassing his administra ' lion than they did of their fealty to the consti ■ tution and the people's rights. Resolved, That GIDEON J. BALL is enti tled to the thanks of all taxpayers for the watch fulness exercised over the State Treasury : so long as he presides there, tiie days of plunder and peculation in that department are numbered. Resulted, That the nomination of HENRY M. FULLER, of Luzerne county, as the whig candidate for Canal Commissioner, meets our he irty approbation. In a department where so much of flic taxpayers money is squandered— where fraud and peculation are openly charged to have been committed, if not with the sanc tion, at least by the indirect connivance of those entrusted vyith their management-the people owe it to themselves to place in the Board at least one differing from the majority at present ex isting, who will check, if he do not altogether prevent, the waste and extravagance so palpa bly exercised. ! R r nlvcd, That the appointment of Captain ' W. If. IRWIN as Adjutant General of Penn sylvania, was a well-deserved tribute for the gallantry displayed at tiie head of the Juniata Guards on tiie heights and plains of Mexico, ari l meets with the full and cordial approbation ol his friends and neighbors in this county. Resolved, That from the manner in which the Lcwistown Gazette has been conducted by its present proprietor and editor, during the past three years, wc deem it of much importance to the whig party in this county to secure for it an extended circulation, and recommend all who feel an interest in its prosperity to become sub scribers, or if already so, to urge their neigh bors to take it. lies IveJ, That the proceedings of this Con vention he published in the Gazette. cou.vr v COM MI rTE E.

This little boy, and another one of ; about the same age, son of Wm. Morgan, | were in a wagon, the horses took fright i and started at full speed, upsetting the wa- j gon and throwing the children out, killing j one instantly, and slightly injuring the oth er. Let this sad affair serve as a salutary caution to those who are in the practice of driving horses and wagons through our ' streets. There is entirely too great a dis regard of life in this respect. — Clearfield : Paper. It seeins to us that more censure ought to be applied to parents who sutfer their children to stroll about the streets all day, than to the dri vers of wagons, (Ac. The latter, it is true, ought not to sutler them to get on, but at the same time pareuts ought to charge their ofi i spring to keep aloof from the dangerous prac tice of hanging to or getting on wagons in the streets. A MEETING OF PENNSYLVANIA IRON MASTERS. —Tim iron masters of Western Pennsylvania held a meeting last week, in Pittsburgh, to take into consideration the depressed condition of the iron trade. A committee made a report showing the 9tate of the trade for the last thirty years, and attributing the prosperity and depression of the iron business to the various tariffs. The report say*: i 4 From these facts the Committee are , brought to this inevitable conclusion ; that as iron and labor are protected by an nde ; quute duty on imports, those interest tiounsh. That as that protection is with ; drawn, they languish and die. Your Com j mittee, therefore, tender tor consideration j the following: Resolved, That tlie present depressed ; state of the iron trade has its origin, and I is entirely caused by the low rate of duty which English iron is admitted into this country under tha tariff" law of 1846, and , its injudicious ad valorem principles. I Resolved , That five sixths of the value ' of pig iron consists of labor, and as this ' labor can be procured in England at less ' than one third of what it usually commands I in good times in this country, we, in the United States can never compete with the | English iron-musters, except hy a reduc tion of iaU>r to tlie pauper rates of that country, or protection from its competition. J Resolved, That it i? not tlie wish of any j : of this meeting, and we hope of no Amer- I ican, to see the rates of labor in this hap i py country reduced to the lates of poverty in Europe. Resolved, That to insure a different and more happy state of things among us, the labor of this country, including all its min i eral and agricultural products, must be i protected in our markets from the redun dant labor of other countries. Resolved, That we, and each of us, pledge ourselves to use the utmost of our exertions to procure such protection, which can only be secured by a duty of specific i values. Resolved, That it is the duty of the iron men and agriculturists in Western Pennsylvania and elsewhere, to hold meet ings in their different counties, and orga .. . © nise, for the purpose ol petitioning Con gross for a change from the present ad v'a lorein to a system of specific duties of ad equate protection to the labor of the coun try. Resolved . That (his meeting recommend a Convention of the Furnace owners, of ; Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and Ken | tucky, to be held at the city of Pittsburgh, I on Wednesday, tlie 21st of November next, ; to take into consideration all necessary and further action on the premises.

FKANUE. — The French Minister of F; nance in a statement to the Assemble says that tlio deficit in the Treasure <. the Ist of January next will be five (,p r . dred and fifty millions of francs. It i s f ar . ther estimated that the deficit at the en' of next year will be about throe hundred and twenty millions francs. President Napoleon Bonaparte dene any desire upon his part to change the present government. The French Journals insist that the, re cent visit of Louis Napoleon to the We?, tern Provinces was a total failure, lies, tolan is to be the commander in chief of the army of Italy in place of General On. dinot, whose rocall is said to he ir conse quenee of his inability to work in harmo nious co-operation with the Pope, whohas always regarded him with some degree r.f suspicion. Humors of a change of mil, -. try are very current to day. The Pope's Commissioners have arr.v ed in Borne and dissolved the whole army, even those soldiers who had bseu faith:., to the Pope. A report was prevalent tint Garabaldi had attacked and beaten a large Austrian force, and that his army has be<n augmented by re inforcements of Hungari ans who volunteered their services. Venice still holds out manfully against the enemy. It is said that three Ameri can vessels had arrived with provisions in aid of the besieged city. AUSTRIA AND IICNGART. —Our latest news from Vienna is to August 4th.— What news there is is favorable to the Hungari-ns. Up to the latest dispatches from Havnau's headquarters. Szgedin had not been taken. Tne qualification given of the news of its occupation is thus justi fied, and every thing indicates that an obstinate stand will be made there.— The Awstrians were advancing on it by three columns, from Feiegyhaza, Ilahs and Theresiopol.
