A CORRECTION.
A lew weeks ago we published an article, on
the authority of general rumor, stating that
i OHN*tTOM MiK*c%ad been arrested by the Dep

received a letter from Mr. McKee, dated lloi

us that our statement was incorrect, and in v in

licity to the following explanation, which we
cheerfully comply with-.
"I was in Cambria county and in the course of
business gave a fe.7 note to a citizen there, which,
LI soon as I learned there was any doubt of its
being genuine, I endeavored to redeem by giving
another for it, about which there could be no
'iLpute. The person who had it, at the instance
<-f an enemy of mine in this town, preferred to
commence a prosecution against me to getting
good money for this that they allege is bad. ft

county, (who is a very great man in his own
stimalion) went to Cambria county, got the

• What L'sftl to be Done with the Money !'
The lot lowing sensible remarks sht uld be
i"
seriously reflected upon by every voter of
AliflSir. county, every one ask himself
whether he can consistently oppose a party
that is about consummating so desirable a
change in the condition of our ti nances!—whe
ther he can aid in electing to oflice men who
are identified with a parly which has hereto
fore proved ao treacherous to the aaidjna! in

would bo gtod policy to eject men whoso iie
lions have *.hus far been so eminently salu
tary. tor the sole purpose of reinstating tliose
who, past experience tells us, seek Lut the
gratification of a morbid cupidity '
This is a question beginning to be asked.
Governor Johnston in the short time of his ad
ministration has paid the State interest, and had
it paid as an honest man-desircs to pay his debts,
in coin. Besidesthis, a long list of debts which
have been accumulating for years under the lo
cofoco administrations, have been received by
him, audited and paid, amounting to the astoumf
ing sum offUS.Wb. These were-honest credi
tors whose names had been kept back, to satis
fy the demands of political plunderers. Be
sides this he has already set apart the sum of .
§lO5 to the sinking fund* and yet after all this, ,
the locofoeo Auditor General has to join the
Whig Treasurer in a report that they have over
§150.000 of surplus in the Treasury, for a contin
gent application to the North 'Branch canal.
This work, after lying twenty years idle, is
about to he completed from resources within
the means of the State itself, when will be ad
ded §IOO,OOO a year to its regular revenues with

We shall do it with our own mores and without
any taxes—on the contrary, have our taxes
yearly reduced by it.
But the inquiry now is, what xistd to be done
with the money ? The fi.rmer administrations
•had the same means at control that Governor
Johnston has. How then does it come that hr
can <io so much, with the same means that thev
did so little? This is a question for every hon
est man to answer. It is one that peculiarly
commends itself to every tax payer—every own
er of property, who found it diminishing "in lai
ue on his hands by the continued increase of the
State debt , for which it was bound, and the evi
dently increasing inability. as it seemed, of the

THE TARIFF OF ' ii.
Our neigbhor of the True Democrat, in an
article under the above caption, speak* a fol
lows :
" 1 he 'Tarifl of which figured so con
spicuously in the political songs of the ia b t
campaign, and to which unbounded national
prosperity was ascribed iu. those doggerels, is
ccrlain'y falling into disgrace, and those who
lavished such praises upon it arc already giv
ing it the cold shoulder."
The object of the above paragraph (hyper
bale,) evidently was to impress upon its read
ers the idea that the Protective system is fast
failing into discredit, among those who for
merly were it* most sturdy advocates. Now,
ins'. cad of tins being the case, we have abun
dant evidences from all parts of the country
which go to prove, not only that the whigs
are daily becoming more unequivocally con
vinced of the deleterious effects of the present
policy, and of the necessity of a change, but
that even the locofocos themselves are begin
ning to acknowledge it. In corroboration of
this asst rtion, we refer our readers to tiie fol
lowing, which we copy from the Clarion Re
gister, of the Sill instant:
"TARIFF MEETING. — A meeting composed
of the citizens of Clarion county, irrespective
of party, was held in the Court House, on
Wednesday evening last. We have no*, been
favored with a report of the proceedings, but
learn that strong resolutions, favorable to a re
vision of the present Free Trade system, were
adopted. It must be gratifying to the friends
of protection to know 'hat the old delusive
prejudices of our democratic friends arc Icing
removed on this subj-ct. Although a cardinal
principle of tiic whig party, i* is no le*s: prin
ciple which every lover of his country clings
to with a firm grasp, as the only surety ot the
perpetuity o r our institutions."
ARE M ASSESSED ?
It is not, perhaps, says the Harnsburg Intel
ligencer, too early t > remind the Whigs of the
necessity of being assessed Un tlayt before the
election. The election taker place on Tues
day, the 9th of October, less than four weeks
from this time. Bear it in luiud, and attend j
to thia important duty in time. Fach one of
you ehuuld examine the Liet* of voters put up j
in your respective election districts, by your
asfceesora, and if your names are not there, have
yourselvee assessed immediately—fur if you
are not assessed at least ten day* before the
election, or hive not paid a State or County tax
within two years past, you will lose your vote.
Get assessed.
"A FULL VOTE IS A WMIO VICTORY." —This
is the remark of the Boston Poßt upon the re
sult of the Whig triumph in Rhode Island,
where Mr. Dixon is elected to Congress by a
majority of 600 over Mr. Thurston, the late
Ixxofoco member. 'The vole,' says the Post,
•is largely increased, and A FULL VOTR IS A
WHIG VICTORY.*
So it is. The remark doee not only apply
to Rhode Island, but to many other 14tatee in
the Union. It is equally applicable to Peun

From every portion of our commonwealth,

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE. —-The movement
in behalf ot (Canadian independence has become
more marked and open. Mr. H. 11 VVilann,
' who has been rbr some years prominently con
j nectcd with provincial politics, has issued the
prospectus of a new semi-weekly paper, to be
called the " (Canadian Independent," which he
proposes to issue at Hamilton and Toronto—
| chiefly designed to " promote, by peaceable
means, separation from the mother country."
in Lower ( anada the feeling in favor of inde
pendonce is almost unanimous, and the public
press has taken the lead in its advocacy. In
Upper iliujadfl a large proportion of the inhab
itants are said to entertain similar sentiments,
although, from itieu" subset viency to pirty pur
poses, the journals avoid the subject. The
opinion is a'so depressed that the English Gov
ernment will concede independence whenever
it -hull be a&kd by a majority of the people.

A more singular case of protracted tyranny,
. accompanied with circumstances indicating so
. depraved a condition of the moral principle,
could scarcely be learned among the records of
domestic life, than what has been found in the
j history of a man named Burland, recently de
ceased, who carried on the business of a black
' smith for many years past on east Front st.eet,
iin thi3 city. Burland had been married some
years, and had a family, when he took Into Ids
service a young girl, and about ths same period
had his wife placed in a small upper room, away
fioni all intercourse with any human being, up
on the pretence of insanity, but with the real
motive of taking this young female as a partner
for his bed and board. The miscrabe exis
tence of the unhappy wife was prolonged by
I meagre supplies of food ; but no person was suf-
I fered to approach her, and all appliances for
personal comfort or cleanliness were cut off.—
Remonstrances were made from time to time by
the neighbors, but the desperate character of
die man seemed to create some apprehensions,
if expostulation or interference were interposed
too far, and this poor emaciated, friendless,
! hopeless female lived on, unconscious of the
' 'sweet approach of even or morn,' till within a

( AMFO4UUA EMIGRANTS.—A letter from Fort

has been mostly confined to the Western emi

Five thousand live hundred wagons Lave pass

Scores of graves have been passed which
f ave no identity placed over their remain*, and

The graves that I saw had been dug up by the
wolves, the bodies dragged to the surface, and
the limbs and fragments scattered ail around.
I'rom this place west, the sickness did not fol

At this point, and for some distance back,
hundreds of wagons have been burned, and tons
of provision* thrown away, the owners packing
the rest of the road. It is a fact of dear-bought
experience, that this i* the only sensible way of
g*'ing to California ; and the next sensible idea
i, that if men arc so foolish as to bring wagons,
he sure and haul them with oxen. Unless for
families, there is no use for wagons. Only

parties concerned will have reason to thank
the Government for its interterence, the r; is no
doubt; it lietnsr incontestable that, if the expe

FOREIGN NEWS.
DF.TAII.S BROUGHT BV TBK NIAGARA.
THE HUNGARIAN WAR.
The details furnished by the English papers
to the 25th ult., we regret to say, are of a char
acter fully confirmatory of the disastrous intel
ligence of the Hungarian army, which was com
municated by telegraph. The London Times of
the 2.1 d August commences a leading editorial
with the following summary of results:
There can be no doubt that the Diet in Hun
gary has received a death-blow. A great por
tion of the army of General Georgey so we learn
from a despatch of General Haynau—has sur
rendered unconditionally at Arad to Marshal
Paskiewich. It is needless to say that this is
but the beginning o? the end. The successive
surrcudcr of the. oificr Hungarian corps is but a
question of days and of detail. Wc had never
anticipated any other result to the struggle
from the moment It became clear that the Pow
ers of Western Europe declined to tabs any share
in the contest, and that the Czar of Russia was
exerting his utmost strength to bring ba< k Hun
gary to the dominion of the Cabinet at Vienna.
Short of a ruiracle, it was impossible that the
wild ievies of the Hungarians should continue
to resist the organized massed arrayed agair,-,t
thern.
The folio wing remarks are from the London
Time* of the 24th.
in spit* of the undoubted courage and the
great ability displayed by many of leaders of
the Hungarian insurrection, a careful examina
tion of the operations of the campaign and a cor
rect appreciation of the real forcer of Hungary
bad long since left us no doubt as to the final re
sult, The great victory of General Haynau at
the battle of Tensosvar, fought hi the neighbor
hood of that city on tlue 10th inst,, and the sub
mission of General Georgey at the head of hi
entire division, have appeared to give an abrupt
termination to the struggle, but, in reality, both
these events were the results to which the whole
plan of the campaign obviously tended. From
the n injcnt that the advance of the main body
of the Ru-sian* had secured the line of the Upper
Theirs, the communication between Georgey
and the principal forces of the Magyars was ob
viously cut off.
That genera! manoetivcrcd witn great skill
and rapidly, sc as to avoid a general action with
a superior force; he the rear of the
Itu isian army, and made more than one attempt
to cut his way to the south. Put although these
operations ranged over a considerable extent of
countiy. they could not end otherwise than they
have done. Georgey was acting without any
regular bas.s, and with na means of procuring
supplies except those he took from the enemy.
Toe submission of his corps was therefore inev
itable. We know not how far political consid
erations may have contributed to this result.—
Georgey was known to entertain opinions strong
ly opposed to the revolutionary schemes of Ko
ssuth, and though no one has fought more gallant
ly than h'- has done for the national cause, he
is said to have retained a strong feeling of re
gard for that empire and that army, against
which he found himself almost casually arrav
ed.
Mere o!diers of fortune, and foreigners, like
Demlienski and Peru, were of course prepared
to fight to the last extremity, aud the instiga
tors of the revolution, like Kossuth, could have
no hope but in resktanee; but the military chiefs
of the Magyars, like Georgey, Klapka, and
Mecsaros, were connected with Austria by
very different tics, and the time will come when
they will again serve in defence of the empire
as manfully as tiiry done for their native king
dom. The probability is. therefore, that in
surrendetisg at Vtlsgos, Georgey yielded not
only to a necessity of war, but to a conviction
that the cause of the. Hungarian revolution
could no longer be defended without destruc
tion to both the contending parties.
The following, to the same purport, is from
the London Chronicle of the 23.1;
DAFTR, Tuesday Evening.
A courier na just arrived here, who brings
tiic great and important news that the Hunga
rian struggle is at an end. The news is offi
cial, and its correctness beyond a doubt. Geor
gey his ounendered to Genera! ihrsktewitch,
and is now a prisoner in his hands. He did
not surrender at discretion. He laid down
two conditions—firs:, that lie should surrender
to the Russian army, and not to the rtus'rians,
a® his brave army had declared unanimously,
that rather than that he should surrender to the
Austrians, it would defend him to the last drop
of its blood; and 2d!y, a complete amnesty as
regards his troops. With respect to himself,
he did n -t demand nr stipulate for any amnes
ty, declaring that he gave himspif up as a hol
ocau.-t t.r the rest, and would submit cheer-j
fu'iy to ail the severity of the law. The de
spatch giving this important announcement is
