A wounded bird tlu'ters—a burnt child drea-li (he fire, and Mr. Gibboney'a friends will hardly commit political suicide, by taking all their opponents say for gospel, and support the candidate of a party that has wil lingly maligned and villified them. True Dem. Mr. Ciibboney's friends, we infer from this, are wounded birds, burnt children, and will not commit political suicide by taking all we say for gospel, and act ac cordingly. We do not wish them to do so : but if it is not " gospel," why don't vou prove it to be otherwise. We have said that, by the usages of the loeofoco party, Mr. (libboney was entitled to a re nomination, and that he was thrown aside by trickery and deception. Have you denied it—and if so. have you shown that it was not so We have said that num bers supported Alexander delegates under a belief that they were working for Mr. Rittenhouse and Mr. (Jibbonev at the same lime, and yet those very delegates aided, abetted and assisted in defeating both the gentlemen named. Have you denied it— and if so, have you proved it to be other wise ! We have said that Thomas Strou p was not the choice of a majority of the locofoeos, but that prominent men in the party who had been led to expect some favor as a reward for long and faithful ser vices, were set aside to make room for one almost unknown. Have you denied u ' We have said that John Ross was nominated by the leaders with some spe cial object in view—either pecuniary or political—and that Mr. Gibbonoy was •• wounded" and " burnt" because he was not suited to, or would not, carry out the objects had in view. Have you denied it ! These arc a few questions, among many, to which we think something more than a general denial must be given to satisfv the wounded birds and burnt children . If. however, they dread the lire of Ross, Dull i Co., they will of course take the Democrat's advice not to •* commit politi cal suicide," but meekly slip on the collar of submission, and show themselves the obsequious slaves oi the few in this county who manufacture principles for the de mocracy, ami set up men to be voted for as they would ten pins. The Foreign Grain Market. The Washington Republic commends to the careful perusal of those fanners of the Union who are anxiously looking for the realization of .Mr. Secretary Walker's promises of a European market that was to 44 go on increasing" from tlx: time when the 44 potato rot" enabled us to export to the amount of some twenty or thirty mil lions of dollars' worth of grain, the fol lowing paragraph which we take from the London Examiner of the Kith ultimo : The Emperor of Russia has ordered the for mation of five or six lines of road connecting the south of Russia with Odessa, in order thai the immense quantity of corn produced in this fertile and airnot virgin soil may be more read ily transported for export. 41 It is expected,'' says a Russia correspondent, 44 that in a/-ir year': the markets of Europe will be so overftooded with Russian corn that all competition will bt impossible.' I '' Russia, it is well known, can produce enough to supply all that will be needed m Great Britain at lower rates than it can be raised in the I nited States,"and if the pro ject spoken of above is once accomplished, that empire can deliver wheat in England at from 50 cents to per bushel—and should prices rule here at the latter figure, export it to the Enitcd States. In such case, we ask any intelligent farmer, who desires a fair remuneration for his labor, whether a protective tariff would not hot ter suit his views than the free trade doc trines now advocated by the locofoco par ty ? One dollar per bushel for w heal is low enough—in fact, for much less than that the American farmer cannot raise it— yet ANDREW J'ARKKR, the locofoco candi date for Congress, would tell you, should such a state of things arise as is referred to above, that it will not do to put a tariff on u heat, because his policy is to bin) iv he re. ire eon bin/ cheapest, no matter how tin- article is produced, whether by slave, serf, or pauper labor. On the other hand, JOHN M'Crn.o< N would say, put on such a duty us will protect the farmer against ruinous competition, and enable him to pav fair rates to tit*- men who labor for him. That is the issue—and between them let the voters decide. Jknw Lind On Saturday last, the tickets tor Jenny J.ind's concert were put up at auction, and a hatter named Ck.mn, proved himself to he the biggp.st fool in the crowd by paying $225 for the first choice. "The bidding then proceeded. The second choice of seats brought £25 ; the third sls. At the latter price, the box-seats over the, stage were disposed of singly to the \cw York Hotel. The Irving House was the purchaser of a large number of seats, at prices vary iiigfromsßlosl. r >. Several single chairs near the stage were sold at each, and do. to $6. 1 tic front row of chairs was then sold. The Ys'.or House took 20 for $140; Irving House ook 24 for $lO2.

There is work for thetti to do PROtEEWSLS OF COSERESS. The Texas boundary bill, after having hern apparently twice rejected in the House of Representatives, was again reconsidered on Friday last and passed, with the addi tion providing for territorial government in New Mexico. During the passage of the I bill the most intense interest was excited, ; and its adoption has produced much rejoic ing among its friends in Washington. Two more of the important Rills from the Senate were taken up and passed during the session of Saturday—the Bill admitting California as a State, and the 11111 providing a Territorial Government for Utah. On I the signing of the former Bill by the Presi dent, the State of California enters into the (-onfederacy of States, and her Senators and Representatives, who have been wait ing patiently at Washington for some time past, will be admitted to their seats and take their proper part in the Councils of the Nation. The importance of the pro ceedings of the House on Friday and Sat urday is beyond calculation, and may well produce shouts of gladness from every lover of his country from the granite hills of \ ermont to the golden shores of Cali fornia. The country is now safe ; and, at peace with herself and at peace with the world, she will rapidly advance to greatness. Referring to the action of the House on Friday, the National Intelligencer says : Our readers will, one and all, we are sure, learn with the sumo heartfelt gratification that we announce it, the fact of the passage by the House of Representatives, yesterday, of the Senate bills to settle the Texas boundary and to establish a Territorial Government tor New Mexico—the two having been consolidated in one bill by the House. The passage of these important measures w ill satisfy all reasonable men of every section, and give peace and quiet to the country. The bills were passed by a small majority it is true ; but the scant majority was no test of the true sense of the House. For it was remarked by a saga cious member after the vote was announced, that he had no doubt the result gave joy to at least four-fifths of the members of the House. Uur hearts are too full of a sense of joy on this event for any comment upon it to-day. When Decatur was hearing down on the Ma cedonian, and ready to open his batteries on her, an officer came up and said, 44 Sir. the men wish to cheer."' 44 bet them take the ship and then cheer," said he. Vow then friends all' Three times three cheers for the Union of the States, and those who have, in the Councils of the Nation, gallantly stood by it! The Senate subsequently concurred in the House amendments to the Texas bill, and all the important measures so long agitated in Congress ami cut, arc now laws of the land, having been signed by the President, Ou Tuesday, Messrs. (Twin and Fremont were admitted as F. S. Sen ators from California. On the 11 th, both members were ad mitted into tin House by a vote of 109 to 59. Both Houses agreed on Monday to adjourn finally on the 30lh instant.

John Jl'fullorh. The Whig Congressional Conference, which assembled at Lew is town on the 3d inst., as will be seen by the proceedings, honored Huntingdon county, by nominating her favorite, Dr. Jouv M'CCI.I.OI ii, for Congress. This nomination, wc feel assured, will meet a hearty response in this county, and throughout the district. Dr. M'Culloch is a man who wins the esteem of all who make his personal acquaintance. He re ceived, in early life, a good education, which has been improved by years of experience and ap plication. In his manners he is plain and unas suming; in his intercourse with society, he is kind and affable to all. He grasps the poor mans hand with as much cheerfulness and cor diality as he does that of the wealthiest man in society. And this is his general character The re is nothing artificial or afflicted about him. He is, in short, the very embodiment of a Re publican, and the true friend of all classes in society. In politics. Dr. M'Culloch has ever been an unwavering, efficient and actire Whig, cntcrtaiuing views in accordance with tlie oft officially proclaimed doctrines of the Whig par j of I'cnnsylvania. He is the firm friend of a i'ROTELTI\ E TAItIFK, such as will afford ample and uniform protection to the labor of this country againt that of Europe. In convers ing with us the other day, on this subject. Dr. M C. remarked, that during a long praetice, which afforded him fine opportunities for obser vation, he uniformly found that the laboring cla-i• gat along much more comfortably under high Tariffs than when the rates of duties were so low as not to afford protection to the. indus trial interests of this country. On the Slavery question lie is equally sound. The course of our present Representative, Mr. Calvin, in op posing the extension of this blighting institution into territory now free, he heartily approves, and if elected, will adopt it as his course. Such, fellow Whigs, is a brief but truthful representa tion of our candidate for Congress. Discon nected as he is with all cliques and factions, arid having nothing in view but the good of the peo ple at large, we can confidently rely on his get ting every Whig vote in tho district, and we d< übt not the votes of many honest Democrats. furr(i>pflndfn((.
