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."

\\ 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

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

the important bills which have been sent

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.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
I Z3f Many of the towns in this Slate
have been afflicted with much sickness
this summer, generally with a new disease
not laid down in the hooks. Lewistown
has been very healthy until within the last
few weeks, but a considerable number are
now down with the chills and fevers inci
dent to this season, though 110 other disease
prevails. The majority of cases are con
fined to the northern section—a part that
, ought to be the most healthy—where the
miasma arising from several stagnant ponds
is no doubt justly blamed for it The
cause ought to he removed forthwith.
LARGE CUCUMBERS. —Mr. AU.E.V, pro
prietor of the Washington Gardens, near

Gazette office twenty-five inches long and
eight inches in circumference at its thickest

This mammoth production can he seen in
the office until to-morrow evening.
Death of George illchulne by Violence.
An unfortunate affair occurred on Sun
day evening last, about half past six
o'clock, at the old packet landing, which
resulted in the death of GEORGE RICH
WINE. A difficulty arose between Wil
liam Elliott, a butcher, and Rich wine rel
ative to some pigs, which resulted in El
liott picking up a stone and throwing it at
the other. He missed his aim, hut a !
brickbat thrown immediately after struck
Rich wine on the head above his ear, and
he fell. Dr. Vanvalzah was immediately
called in, but a few hours proved that he
was injured beyond the skill of man, and ;
at ten o'clock he breathed his last. A
post mortem examination by several of
our physicians was made, who ascertained
that his skull had been fractured on the
side opposite where he was struck. The
coroner's inquest rendered a verdict in ac- i
cordance with these facts.
Elliott left town that night, and made
his way to a brother residing in I nion
county, hut had not been there more than
a few hours when a handbill issued by the
Sheriff, otfering a reward for his arrest,
led to his apprehension and subsequent
confinement in the jail of this county.
The matter will now undergo an investi- |
gation before the court, and while we rc- !
frain from giving more than the simple
facts attending ihis unfortunate affair, we
may give a word of caution to the parents
: of numerous boys on our streets who are
! daily in the habit of using stones against
each other for the most trilling provoca
cation. How easily and how soon the
spark of life can be extinguished—how
quick the scene change from liberty to
the gloom of a prison, with a yet darker
prospect in the uncertain future—can be
learned from the fatal result above. Let
those on whom devolves the care of their
offspring take heed how they encourage
' or give countenance to such a practice
| when voting, for as years come over them
and harsh words ensue, the first thing
looked for, in manhood as in youth, may
be a stone , and if used, who can tell what
will follow ' Remember, 4 * the way of
the transgressor is hard," and whether life
be taken intentionally or unintentionally,
" the still small voice" within will follow
the victim of passion to the grave, render
ing life and death alike miserable.
