General Ticket Lav.
A law was passed in 1810 authorizing
the voters of this county to vote by Gen
eral Ticket. This law does not repeal the
old law, but only confers the additional
privilege of voting by a sinirle ticket when
the voters desire to do so. If they prefer
to vote separate tickets they can do so, as
the laws says they may vote bv General
i icket, not that they ahull, and the Judge
or Inspectors who refuse to receive either
arc liable to a prosecution. In voting on
the Amendment of the Constitution, the 1
law requires all to vote for or against it on ;
a separate ticket
-' The election is so near at hand that j
it is hardly necessary to do more than urge '
increasing vigilance and activity on our
friends throughout the county. We have
an excellent ticket, eminently worthy of
support at the hands of the freemen of
Alilllin county, and if it is not elected it j
will be the fault of the stay-at-home whigs- |
W'c have pointed out, week after week,
hat our opponents had not nominated such
men as the masses desired, but those who !
suited certain individuals and their pur
poses best. All who have watched the
course of proceedings in this campaign, i
cither whig or democrat, can judge for !
themselves whether anything we have 1
alleged against the mode and manner of
the nomination of the locofoco ticket has
been successfully gainsayed. That it has
not, wc arc well assured, and that it can
not, wc le< 1 certain. In this opinion the
whigs are not alone, and hence there is an
additional incentive to every one to go to \
the polls on Tuesday, the Hth of October,
and use his influence to get his neighbor to ;
do likewise

Itiox ion PENNSYLVANIA.—SinguIar as j
the fact may seem, says the Haiti more |
American ol yesterday, it is nevertheless
true that a business house in this city is
now shipping to Pennsylvania, by the Tide
Wall r Canal, a parcel of Scotch Piy Iron
/or a Foundry in llarrishvry. What
will the opponents of the proposed modi
fication of the present Tariff say to this ?
If Pritish iron finds its way into Pennsyl
vania foundries, will any one pretend to
deny that the home manufacture must he
broken up unless the Tarifi . • amended '
Andy Parker is trying to humbug some
of our citizens into a belief that the tariff
of 1G is higher in its duties than that of

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.

the Telegraph writes that a second Loro
foeo County Convention met in Crawford

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 an<l wanted to know
what 1 could do for him, but 1 told him
straight up and down that if lie turned whig
maybe 1 would vote for him, tho* couldn't
say for sartin. Well, be didn't bother me
long, but got to soft-soaping others that he
thought he could eome the game over. 1
don't think he made much in his specula
tions, there being sever d witnesses there
whom he had walked over rough-shod in
that Valley suit, and hadn't forgotten him
vet. Hut you'd laid low, Mr. Printer, had
you been there and seen John Rossgetting
dad round the neck, and whispering, and
winking, and blinking at him, as if dad
had been his sweetheart. I'm not sure
that he did kiss the old man, but he had
his faec close enough half a dozen times
to do so. It was fun, I tell you. Stroup
was there, too, and so was that anti-Lew
istown-Hank man who sued so many for
usury, or something else, but somehow or
other has never succeeded in getting the
suits before Court, and the whole gang
electioneering as if all the canal grub and
treasury pap in the fState was at stake.
They went it on democracy strong, and
some of the b'hoys quite as strong on
whiskey, which 1 must say I was sorry to
see—for though a man may he excused or
justified for now and then taking a horn,
provided now and then don't eome too of
ten, there's no excuse for getting down
right drunk. 1 looked on for a considera
ble time, but the truth is there was so much
fuss with a sprinkling of "ursing and swear
ing that 1 thought it time to leave. Dad
anil I and old Ploughman accordingly
mounted our horses ami went homewards,
neither having much to say. Dad howev
er allowed that he didn't think Ross would
suit very well for Assembly, because if he
spent his dimes as freely at Ilarrisburg as
at Perryville, he thought three dollars a
day, less board, wouldn't go very far, and
that the man would make more money by
staying at home. s. w.
MR. EDITOR :—A correspondent of thej
Democrat, in a labored article in favor of j
John Ross, holds him up as the particular '
friend of the poor man. I suppose he al- j
ludes particularly to his friendship for the
poor about the time the Lewistown Hank
failed, when Ross was supervisor on the
Upper Division. CROWBAR.

the fact that Railroads were now being laid
with Railroad Iron, manufactured in Eng

abounded in the richest Iron ore. lie

friends of Domestic Industry to send to

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
An amendment to the Naval Appropria
tion Bill abolishing Hogging in the Navy,
was adopted when reported to die House
on Monday, by a vote of 131 .yes to 29
nays. The Bill was then passed by a vote
of 111 ayes to 48 nays.
The principal Appropriation Bills will
probably pass this week, and Congress ad
journ on Monday next.
FIU A military eucampment is to come
off at Mount Union, Huntingdon county,
on the lath of October.
LOCAL AFFAIRS.

certain matters spoken of in a communi

lieving as we do that the ends sought will

giv ing it publicity at this time.

THE WEATHER.—This neighborhood
was visited with a succession of thunder
storms front Wednesday evening until this
morning, during which time a considerable
quantity of rain fell.
HAD BOYS.—An old gentleman residing
in the Valley, who generally has a large
quantity of fruit which, previous to this
year, he had brought to town for sale, when
asked a few days since why he suffered his
line apples, pears, plums, &c., to waste,
replied that lie eouhl not think of again
coming to town for the purpose of dispos
ing of them, lie state,l that when last
here, his wagon was constantly crowded
4
with hoys who annoyed him in every con
ceivable way, and although he tried to con
ciliate them by sharing out a considerable
quantity of large apples, it w as of no avail.
No sooner was his hack turned towards
them than each one helped himself to what
ever he could reach, and on being driven
from the wagon, began to throw stones at
him ! Having seen similar instances of
depravity ourselves, we have no doubt that
tho statement given above is true. It
speaks badly for the reputation of those
who are suffered to range the streets uncon
trolled by parental authority, and is as dis
creditable to the parents as it is to the chil
dren. It is due to all who visit us that they
should at least be safe from the thieving
propensities and malice of these juvenile
miscreants while furnishing our citizens
with the products of their farms, and if no
other remedy can be provided, we trust
that every one who comes here hereafter
for the purpose of disposing ol truit or
vegetables, will make an example of the '
first boy detected in despoiling him of his
property. Two or three such eases would
effectually cure them, and perhaps make
parents more careful as to the conduct of
their offspring.
