COTTKKLI., of Milflin county as Chairman, and DAVID WILSON, of Juniata county Secretary. Hut two counties being fully represented, i consequence of a misunderstanding as to the day, they adjourned to meet at Mover's Hotel, in Lewistown, on Tues iy, the 3d day of September next, at 10 o'clock A. M. -7 The Pennsylvania Railroad Com ny have effected an arrangement with lie proprietors of the Eagle Line of cars aiming from Philadelphia to Columbia, y which that company will withdraw ither on the first or fifteenth of next uonth, and an entire new line of spacious ud elegant cars, replete u ith every con venience be substituted in their places. The first locomotive is expected to pass over the road between Huntingdon and ilnllidaysburg to-morrow, and during the nsuing week the passenger cars will com uence running to tlie latter place rcgular ly. RlOllT. —Alexander Irvin, Marshal of •' ;e Western District, has been removed by !';evident Fillmore for cause. Ilis brother William. it i.- said, lias been appointed in : is place. The editor of the North American re- j • rntly visited this section of Pennsylvania, j rid tints speaks of Lewistown and its vi cinity : " It is, indeed, a rare pleasure to rush along | thA iron track—destined hereafter to be the j hghway of millions of travellers and an unim aginable wealth of trade and commerce—and to gratify the senses with the survey of the most magnificent works of nature, so closely connect ed with the marvellous achievements of art To those who have leisure, it is also a pleasure to pause for a day or two in one of the towns that skirf its borders—Lewistown for example —and sec how worse than idle it is to seek in other States for summer retreats, when here v. ithin our own limits we have them in such per fection. It is not easy to imagine a richer pros pect than that which may be seen from Ard's hill. A well-built town—adorned with churches and public edifices—clustering thick and close by the rivc-side at the very foot of a steeply-rising ac clivity ; a meandering stream watering a cric of highly cultivated farms ; near at hand a ear a! with its bridges and boats and towing paths and lazy, plodding horses, and in the not remote dis tance a railroad with its fiery courser almost outstripping the wind ; neat structures, cottage, and homestead, and barn, scattered over the fields ; the whole encircled by lofty but irregular mountains, the summits blazing with olar glory, the ravines darkling with umbrageous gloom—these furnish materials for the mere sight-seer not elsewhere surpassed, while the in vigorating air braces the nerves, and spreads through the emaciated frame the generous glow oi renascent vigor and health. And such as Lewistown so A Huntingdon, and other places in close contiguity to the road. Now that the extreme heat of tbr summer has passed, and travelling A enjoyable, wc recommend to such ot our t' jilers a" have time and opportunity to make an excursion ..vwr this load, and if they ' no< their re<-st favorable anticipations iuiiy reauzed, we shall be content to be regarded as no true prophets." Mav A\-n VVrvK.— Judge L.owrie, of Pitts burgh, has decided that a wife possessed of pro perty in her own right, under the law relative to the rights of married women in regard to pro perty, passed in 1846, could not be permitted to become bail for her husband, for the *f,n of ex ec At''-. o f a Iglment ford'-Id Eoeofoco Tattles, At. \\ Ifencver a wrong is perpetrated by ! parties or individuals, some excuse is al- j ways invented to gloss it over, and thus j the wrong very frequently finds as many supporters as the right, because one por- ; lion, who are in the habit of manufaetur- ? ing public opinion, take that insidious . course least liable to suspicion and most j apt to secure those who are intended to be j gulled by the manoeuvre. In politics, es- , pecially, this is very frequently the case, , : and inav be properly considered as a part ( of the tactics used by locofoco leaders | when they desire the masses of their party i to fall in with some new scheme, changing j perhaps essentially the doctrine preached j up a year or so beforehand, or intended to operate against particular individuals. In this manner men apparently popular are discarded from political favor, how or why is hardly known bevond the coterie ol managers, while numberless others are ted up bv hope or flattery for years, and al though imagining themselves the very es sence of free thought and free speech, are in reality the mere tools of designing men, who use theni as interest or policy may I dictate, to effect their own ends. Contin ued success, however, sometimes embol- i i dens the leaders to such a degree that they ! lose their proverbial cautiousness, and im- ; ' pose a burden which awakens a spirit ot j resistance. The scales then fall from the : eves of the enslaved, and they begin to r see 111 us true light the bondage in which i thev have been held. Such a wrong as is adverted to above , I was unquestionably inflicted on that por ' tion of the locofoco party who relied on fairness, or honesty, and common usage . for justice. Had the wishes of a majori ity of that party —a large majority—been consulted in making the nominations, docs j any one believe that John Ross would j have received the nomination for Asssein- , ■ blv, or Thomas Stroup for Commissioner ? And now that a gross outrage has been in dicted on .Mr. Gibboney and his friends, and through them on the loeofocos of the , Valley, not a word of explanation is of-; fcrcd. no cause assigned, but a studied si- j lence as to the why and wherefore main tained ! Has the boasting democracy of ■ MitFlin—the lion-hearted democracy—ar : rived at that point when it cannot afford to give one of its faithful servants, whom it had important d to accept ojfice and NOW KF.JECTS, some satisfactory reason for this strange course ? That point we think has been readied, and with it comes the lrre i sistible conclusion that some special favors ' • ! j are sought for by the leaders, some partic ular measures to be enacted, perhaps some ' : *• contracts" to be secured, against which i ' Mr. Cibboney's honesty and integrity , j would rebel, and hence the legerdemain ; that brought to light an association known ' j up the river as Ross, Dull tk Co., with Mr. M'C oy as an outside partner. Will the people of Mitllin county, or ; ought they, to ratify such a combination !by electing it to office ? The chains of' j party may be strong, but if such outrages j are quietly submitted to, and they- become ! the willing instruments of carrying into I effect whatever designs may be entertained, each had better at once procure a collar and have it labeled " I am our leader's dog— j what's his will is mine." l!r' The Democrat,' instead of answer ing our query as to what particular merit j or claim the locofoco candidate for Com- : missioner had over his competitors lor the ■ nomination, flies off into a comparison be tween St roup and Cummins, averring thai the former is fully equal to the latter in every respect. We do not know Mr. , Stroup personally, hut from all that we can learn those w ho do know linn will re ceive the Democrat's information with a shrug of the shoulders and a smile of in i credulity. It also attempts to make a lit tle capital by asserting that he is a poor man, and that the whigs object to him be cause he pays no taxes of any amount, and the federalists then catch it for slick ing out the cloven foot in opposing the poor ! Well, let us sec how the rule will ' work when applied to the locofoco nomi nations. There was a young man before their convention for County Surveyor, certainly not rich, yet John It. Weekes, a sort ol " Iron nabob" or " manufacturing lord," a class whom the democracy pro fesses to hate with a zeal that knows no bounds, was nominated ! The Democrat will hardly pretend that he is a poor man, and it can perhaps inform us why the clo ven foot of federalism stuck out there when a poor man too? up for the office in i question j *iP The Union Star stales that the Deputy Marshal of that county is engaged in opposing the Whig ticket. To give the gentleman more time, if lie is really en gaged in such a business, let the new Mar shal f mo*c him forthwith. \OW OH \EVEII. The second Tuesday of October, says the Daily News, is rapidly approaching, and it behooves now every Whig to arouse to a full sense of his duty, and to delay not a day longer in uniting with those already engaged in organizing our forces and pre paring for the struggle that is before us. There is no time now to be lost. Hut one brief month remains for the work that has yet been hardly begun. That the issues involved in the next election, and the offi ces then to be filled, are of such a charac ter as to induce every Whig to feel a deep concern for the success ol the Whig party, we need hardly state. Mh v, then, is there not more activity throughout the State ? Why not more concert of action and hearty co-operation in the work of organization to achieve the triumph within our reach ? We can succeed, if we will. Who among the Wiiigs ol Pennsylvania, if singled out, would not be ashamed to acknowledge that he hud not the will ? Surely if there ever was a time when there were incentives to do our duty that time is now. Hlessed with a wise and patriotic Whig chief ma gistrate of the nation, and a noblo and un swerving Whig Governor of the Com monwealth, it should l)e their enthusiastic delight, as it is tltcir undoubted duty, to rally in their support, and once more wheel the old Keystone into the Whig line. Hut there arc other incentives to action besides those. We have good and true men pre sented for our support for the State offices —men who are Whigs in feeling and sen timent, who are capable and faithful, and who deserve the cordial, yea enthusiastic support of the entire Whig party of the State. Why, then, not be active ? Why hesitate ? Why delay to organize ? Re member, Whigs, now is the time—now or never. Dago? rrcotyplng. Some of the locofoco editors are engaged in drawing each other's portraits, ami the old adage that when rogues fall out justice will get its due, is fairly realized. Thus— The n insinuates pretty strongly that Forney of the Pennsylvanian is a blackguard. Forney thinks ditto of the Lancastrian. The Bedford Gazette thinks the llarris burg Union the lowest paper in the world, and its editor the silent advocate or apolo gist of the grossest corruptions. The lat ter says Bowman is an hermaphrodite, " being a cross between the harlequin and the hyena," whose abuse is no libel. A number are calling each other any thing but gentlemen, and if one-half they say be true, the greater portion ought to have l>een in the penitentiary long auo. Out of respect for the craft, we hope they i don't mean all that is said '. nf* Whigism and Nativism, according to the Democrat, are essentially the same, yet as we said last week a majority of those who were natives when the subject ! was agitated are at this time locofocos ! • This is shown from the fact that a majority of the subscribers to the Native American paper at Harrishurg are now locofocos ; ; and if any one still has doubts as to which party in this county sccrrthj embraces Nativism, while professing lobe so friendly ! to foreigners,let hitn inquire what locofocos, and how many, are members of the order iof 1 nitod American Mechanics. That will clinch fin nail! The Pennsylvania!) furnishes its readers with a biography of EPIIRAIM BANKS, Esq., from which we learn (not having room for more than a synopsis) that he spent his early life on his father's farm in Juniata county, since which tune he has been somewhat of a professional man—student, clerk, storekeeper, and law yer —served three sessions in the Legisla ture—was accidentally elected to the re form convention, and twice escaped the appointment of Judge by the skin of his teeth. Of wordiy goods he has enough and to spare, and his reputation and name induced the democracy to call upon him to serve them by bis triumphant nomina tion for the important post of Auditor General. FINIS. i 'if' The " harmonious democracy" of Cambria county assembled at Ebensburg on Saturday last for the purpose of ap pointing Congressional Conferees, but the railroad faction finding itself outnumbered, withdrew and organized a separate meeting. It seems to us that the superintendent and his hands might bo better employed by at tending to the interests of the road instead of the politics of Cambria county, IJTFI.NOs AT WASHINGTON. —The House of Representatives oti Tuesday succeeded in disposing of the Civil and Diplomatic appropriation bill, passing it on a final reading by a vote of 131 to 02, and has now a clear deck for the disposition of j the important bills which have been sent ty it from the Senate. Lorofoco Falsehood and Tllsrepresontatlon. The address which the Pennsylvania Locofoco, State Central Committee have just submitted for the consideration of the faithful, and which is intended to operate upon the approaching election, contains about us many falsehoods, direct and implied, as it was possible for the most ingenious libber to crowd into a document of equal dimensions. In this respect it certainly is a curiosity, and as rare a specimen of loco foco ingenuity as was ever seen. In the first place, it sets out with the assumption that the " democratic party never occupied a higher or more enviable position than at the present time." Everybody knows, who knows any thing, that the reverse is the truth. The party is all split up into Abolition, Old Hunker, and Free Soil fac tions. If to be snarling and growling perpetu ally, one clique applying to the other the epithets of " traitor," " mercenary," and other such like loveable adjectives;—we say, if this is occupy ing a " high" and " enviable" position, then we must say that " the party" is indeed high—very high ! Then, again, we are told that our foreign rc- lations, since the Whig administration came into power, have been conducted with "blundering awkwardness." An assertion of this character may pass for what it is worth ; and among the intelligent masses of the democratic party in Pennsylvania we. are quite sure that it is not worth much. We shall not stop to point out the many important treaties which have been nego tiated with foreign powers to the honor, and credit, and profit of the country, since the Fed eral Government was transferred to a Whig ad ministration. Many of these arc become mat ters of history now, and as such they speak for themselves. Nor need we allude to the various difficult and delicate questions, between this Government and some of the most powerful European States, which have been satisfactorily settled without any of that disgraceful bluster which is an inseparable ingredient of locofoco diplomacy. If the democracy of Pennsylvania are verdant enough to believe there was any thing il bungling*' or " awkward" there, we shall be forced to the conclusion that they are yet in volved in as dense a political darkness as that in which they were groping during the Presi dential campaign of 1844, when Clay's tariff letters circulated with Polk's name attached, arid Polk's anti-tariff,letters with Clay's signa ture stuck on, which enabled the locofocos to get a good many votes that did not honestly be long to them. WL hope better things of our Pennsylvania friends. Surely they know better now than they did then the tricks and subterfuges of the locofoco managers. Secretary Cor win comes in for a goodly share of abuse in this characteristic address. Why not? Locofocoism is always abusing somebody, and it must always have a subject to operate upon. They base not made much in that way, hitherto, out of Congress, and in an office which necessarily precludes him from giving back blow for blow, the cowardly hirelings of the ".State Central Committee'' know very well that their stale slang about " bloody hands" and " hospi table graves" will be permitted to pass without any protest from him. " Arguments" such as these must have immense weight with an intel ligent people, certainly ! It ns idle to follow up in detail the remainder of the indictments which this precious " address'" bring 3 against the Whig party. Such as we hare referred to are not bad specimens of the whole batch. We refer to them merely to show our friends that our old enemy i as unscrupulous and desperate as ever he was when party purposes were to be com passed. To the Whigs of the Keystone we confidently leave the task of teaching him such a lesson, on the 6th of October next, as will be well studied and imitated by the Whigs of New York in November.—„Vr York Express.
