COMMISSIONER, WILLIAM CIHMIYS, of Armagh town statements T die 0 p j ias been tendered /t is thought he Treasurer, and The Election---l.*toco Ticket, At. Our neighbor of the Democrat consoles himself with the reflection that he has sim ple denied the charges brought against Koss and others of securing their nomina i tion by fraud, deception, trickery, or what j ever term the reader may choose to char • aeterize the proceedings which resulted in I disfranchising Mr. Gibhoncy for a second : term ; and although we have repeatedly called upon him to assign a reason why Mr. G. was not re-nominated, not a word can we get out of him, not a solitary ex cuse, no palliation for an act unprece dented in the annals of political intrigue in this county. Hundreds ol " democrats believe that a great wrong has been com mitted, and are unwilling to give their sanc tion to a nomination made contrary to all usage, unless some satisfactory reason can be shown for the course pursued, be cause, by doing so, they would aid in cast ing an unqualified censure on the charac ter of the late representative, lias the Democrat no explanation to make, no apol ogy to give, for this summary guillotine operation? AVe opine not. The facts are 100 well known and of too recent origin to admit of equivocation, and every un prejudiced man of either party is lorced to die conviction that the nomination of John Koss was effected for the purpose of doing sonic act or acts which Mr. G. would not do. The Democrat is quite unwilling to sub mit its cause to the people in the manner we offered, because he says wc want him to do what would not be required of him in a court of justice. We know all that— but the editor will please recollect that he made the proposition to submit the case to the people. We accepted it, and called upon him to make a simple statement of the charges preferred, so that the jury rm pannelled could act understanding!}' on the matter. But, no—it won't do ; all he wants is for the jury to stick to the yarty —to hear one side, and then make up its verdict! Locofoeo Galphlnlzlng ! The public lands given by the present session of Congress to various contemplat ed improvements, reach the enormous sum of thirty-eight million, live hundred thou sand acres ! —equal to about Jorty-stven millions of dollars ! The Congress which thus squanders away millions, while at the same time it is passing resolutions of cen sure on General Taylor and his cabinet for paying just claims with interest to a few revolutionary patriots, is locofoeo in both houses. But there is nothing aston ishing in all this to any one who has ob served tlie course pursued by that party for years. Its adherents can raise a great outcry against the expenditure of a few dollars when made by whigs, but if mil- lions arc thrown away or quietly fobl>etl by some good locofoco, there is not a word said—no howls raised —no crocodile tears shed ! rSTOur neighbor says it is a great rois | fortune that his party has been too much in the habit of healing dissensions by coax : ing into it and rewarding turncoats and renegades, instead of kicking them out. Considering that fully one-half of the lo cofuco party is composed of turncoats and renegades, we suspect it would he some what of a job to perform the latter opera ation. If commenced, however, we would recommend the Democrat to begin kicking out the gentleman referred to in the follow- j ing paragraph from the Pennsylvanian, written by the " talented Forney " General Cameron, while pretending to be a Democrat, is exerting himself in every quarter of the State, with unscrupulous energy and in dustry either to secure his friends upon the re spective legislative tickets, or failing in that, to defeat those who are known to he devoted to the well-known principles and usages of the party." After kicking Simon out, they can turn round and kick out some of the " small fry." * The Democrat alleges it has" grati- j fying intelligence" from oilier portions of the district, that free trade Parker will re ceive a handsome increase over his former vote. That gratifying intelligence will not i last long. Parker's free trade notions are by no means relished in Centre county, and it is admitted all round that he cannot expect to get the same vote in this and Ju j niata he did two years ago. On the con trary lie will lose in both ; and if the whigs ' make any show of strength at all, Centre, Milllin and Juniata will not give Parker j more than 8 or 900 majority, or 1000 at the outside, while Ulair and Huntingdon will easily give Dr. McCulloch 11 or ! 1200 ! Stick a pin there, neighbor. 'I'M: POTATO ROT. —The accounts of th< potato rot in the Eastern States state that it is making great ravages with the growing crop, which it is said, will be more destructive than in any preceding year. \\ M. D. T.KWIS has been confirmed as | Collector for Philadelphia. I nplrasant Kemlulscenses. The locofoco candidate for Congress in this district has always been known as a lawyer who spared no language against his opponent's client, no matter how abusive, and. we think it can truly be said that he has retained the good will of but few against whom he has ever been employed. When such a man enters the political arena he cannot of course keep his tongue within bounds, but is apt to indulge in epithets not over-creditable. We last week gave an extract from a communication in the Juni ata Sentinel, which reminded .Mr. Parker of one of his political tirades against the whigs, and this week we give another un pleasant (to him certainly) reminiscence of certain slips of the tongue at Waterford, in 1811. In his speech there, the writer in the Sentinel says, 14 .Mr. Parker labored to prove 4 that the whigs of Rhode Island had imprisoned Tom Dorr, because he was a democrat 4 that they are now, and al ways have been, the friends of the rich, and the oppressors, the grinding oj/pressors of the poor ' that like the cold-blooded tyrant of Russia or of Austria, the whigs would stitle every noble impulse and every lofty aspiration of the human heart for freedom, and put their foot on the neck of every patriotic struggle lor equal rights 4 that their sympathies are with crowns and diadems, and sceptres, and despots 4 that if they had the power, llmj would be despots, merciless and remorseless 4 that in the Revolution they were (ories, and in the war of 1812 they were the sons of tories.' And in fact it seemed on that occasion that no epithet was too op probrious to be applied to them. Rut as he had a large audience, composed chiefly of Ijooofocos," continues the writer, 44 I suppose he felt inspired by the genius of the progressive democracy, which may ac count lor his extreme abusive ness of the whig*. Now, either Mr. Darker honestly believed the wholesale slander against the whigs in which he indulged in that speech ; or lie acted the heartless demagogue in re lating merely for effect, vile slang which in his heart he knew to be maliciously false. And yet, notwithstanding this fact, this same Mr. Parker has the audacity to soli cit and importune the 4 i nut of toriea for their votes. It there i? a whig in this district who can \otc for the utterer of such slang, we should think he would be able to swallow anything in the shape of a locofoco from Tom Dorr, of Rhode Island Rebellion memory, down to the most ultra disunion ist in the Nashville Convention, or the big talking Governor of Texas. Xo public meetings will bo hold this year by the whigs of this county, but still, in the language of a cotrmporary, every Whig voter can do something to make up for the want of these meetings, anil every one has a duty to perform. First and foremost, it is the duty nj even/ whig to (itt'/id the polls and vote. Hut more ; —it is his duty to talk with his neigh bor on the importance of the coming elec tion ; to press u}>on him the duty of turn ing out on that day, and if necessary to as sist him in making his arrangements to do so. 11 we are tu have no public meetings or public speeches, let us at least have a good many private speeches. On the whole, we are inclined to think that they are rather more effectual than a majority of our public harangues. Let every Whig voter be a Whig speaker, and address every man he meets ;—ask him if he is going to attend the election, and how he is going to vote. If he is indifferent or lukewarm, rouse him up ; if he says lie cannot leave his work to go to the polls, offer to stay a/id work i/i his place until he returns from the polls ; if he thinks of voting the wrong way, straighten him out ; if he is a new voter, ami has not been assessed, at/end to that; if he is an aged man, or has far to go to the polls and no means of convey ance, provide him a horse or some other conveyance ; if he is poor and cannot pay his tax, platlk out the dust for him ; tell him when the election will take place (for we fear many will forget it ;) tell him who arc the Whig candidates, and DON'T I.EAVE HIM till he has promised to attend the elec tion and vote the Whig ticket. HKKAKERS AHEAD.—A correspondent of the Telegraph writes that a second Loro foeo County Convention met in Crawford county, and nominated a second Loeofoco ticket, and resolved that they could not vote for ./. Porter Jlruwley for Surveyor General I UP The Lewistown Democrat thinks we are scared about Congressman. W hen we send the editor the Juniata returns, he will find out how much reason we have to he apprehensive. If every county in tlte district will change the vote for Congress as much as Juniata, Dr. MeCulloch's ma jority will not he less than 500 ! We are not talking for talk's sake, but speak the 4 words of truth and soberness.' — Juniata Sentinel. Why 1- it So l We have thousands of acres of moun tain land covered with timber suitable for being converted into charcoal —water- power in abundance —an inexhaustible supply of superior iron ore—turnpike, railroad, and canal faeilities lor reaching market —furnaces, with all the implements necessary for carrying on an extensive business, ready for tenants—laboring men who would gladly find employment, yet of what benefit are all these things to Milllin county ? As well might we be without them—as well have them removed to Great Rritain, France, Germany, or some other country where laboring men arc half-paid or half-fed, for here they seem to be out of place and of no use. Why is this so ? Ask yourselves, citizens of Mifllin county, and in a spirit of candor come to a conclusion. There must he something wrong, or there would he men among you who would embark in the man ufacture of iron and iron ware—who would give employment to hundreds now making a precarious livelihood in doing such work as can he had, and who would in turn be come consumers of your produce. There must be something wrong, say we, and who doubts it ? If it were not so, our hills and furnaces would wear a different aspect, and where silence now reigns su preme, the cheerful notes of business and activity would lie heard in every quarter. You all know this, and knowing it, con sider it well and apply the remedy. Our readers will probably remember that we published a statement several weeks affo of the Rankin and Ovcnshine bribery at \Yiiliamsport. The faction tor which these men were agents were however not alone in that business, as apj>ears from tlie following certificate, published in the Car lisle Democrat. We have been patiently waiting to ste a contradiction of it from the other wing of the locofoco party, but none having been made, it is no doubt true to the letter : I, EDWARD CALVKRT, one of the Justices of the Peace in and for the county of Lycoming, do certify, that Joseph Filler and Hiram Lentz, the delegateg from the county of Bedford, to the late Democratic State Convention, having been duly sworn on their solemn oaths before rne, on the 30th day of May last, did depose and say, that Israel Painter, ODC of the Canal Commis sioners of Pennsylvania, had offered each of said deponents an appointment worth two dol lars per day on the Portage railroad, if they would ieavo Hubley and vote for Strickland. Certified at my office in Williamsport, 15th day of June, ldso. E. CALVERT, J. P. Both factious having thus furnished proof of bribery against each other, the people may well pause before voting for the off spring of that convention—M orison, Hanks, and Brawlev. LETTERS FROM THE HILLS. To the K Jit or of the Gazette : Seeing that almost everybody else was going to the circus at Perryville on Tues day, Dad and I concluded we could afford to spend a quarter for seeing them chaps ride and tumble about and cutting up sundry shines. The clown did purty well in mak ing a fool of himself, but decidedly the best ring performances, clowns and all, were outside. Andy Parker was there, looking as big and dignified as you please. He came up to me any Messrs. Cumiumgs and Pea cock, Philadelphia, at two cents per copy.
