THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS.
On Tuesday next the people of this
county will be called upon to exercise one
' of those high privileges guaranteed to them
by the Constitution—a prhilege enjoyed
by but few nations of the earth, and though
regarded lightly by many, is in reality the
: superstructure on which is based our lib
erties, our rights, and our safety . 1 hat
, opposing parties should exht in ah.nd
where all are entitled to think, act and
speak for themselves, so long as actions
and words are kept within the compass of
the great document which hinds a Confed
eration of thirty States into one, is natural,
and that they should differ in sentiment
and hold contrary opinions as to the pro
per means of effecting the greatest good to
the greatest number, is also natural. As a
consequence of such a state of things,
usages spring up, which, though without
sanction of law, are recognized as obliga
tory, and a violation of such usage, whether
effected by taking an unexpected advantage
at primary elections, by open and direct
fraud, chicancrv, or deception ot any kind,
is alwavs regarded with distrust by all
right-thinking men. Another consequence
generated by the causes wc have alluded to
above—and especially among the dominant
part\ in a State, district, or county —is the
formation of clit|ites, in most
cases some halt dozen individuals, who
gradually work their way into favor by
rendering a political sen ice here and there
—a loan of money iti another quarter—a
particular condescension to some honest
fanner or mechanic residing in the countrv
—until the whole political machinery oi a
countv is vested in their hands, and the
\oters become mere hewers of wood and
drawer? of water to carry out the will and
measures, the schentings and speculations,
of this combination. Through such means
men are frequently thrust forward as the
first choice of a party —to the astonish
ment it is true of hundreds wlto do not
and cannot understand the machinery by
which it is effected—and under the drill
established by the regency, are elected to
offices which they could never attain if
left to their own efforts. Continued suc
cess renders those cliques less cautious at
times than sound policy would dictate, and
in jumping at the object of their ambition
a little too soon, or in attempting to put
down some one who may be in their road
to the attainment of a certain end, of little
moment perhaps to the party but of much
importance to the wire-workers, the SOVE
REIGN* PEOPLE now and then take it into
their heads to teach their would-be-masters
a useful lesson.
We ask our readers, we ask the voters
of Mifflin county, whether wc have not
given a truthful portrait of a clique which
has for years led the so-called democratic
party of this county, more for their own
advantage and thai of the favored few.
than the good of the public? Let every
unprejudiced and untramuieled man who
values the right of suffrage, ask himself
whether the ticket headed bv John Rose
was nominated in that impartial manner
which ought to characterize the doings of
men who claim to have been (he represent
atives of the democracy of Mifflin county.
My usage, we might almost add by right it
usage can make such a claim, ninety-nine
out of every one hundred will admit that
another was entitled to the nomination.
How comes it that a change was made ?
Pan those uho effected it tell? (ana
single d(.'legate to the convention that made
it assign even one plausible reason, gne
one palfrv excuse, for the course adopted ?
Can the organ of " democracy"' tell its
readers why this is so ? If it can, it nev
ertheless will not. Appeal upon appeal is
sent forth calling upon the faithful to sup
port the ticket, because it is the ticket, as
if that in itself were sufficient cause first
to perpetrate and then to justify a wrong 1
The truth may be disguised and distorted
in this cast 4 by artful words, and a multi
tude of promises, never intended to be ful
filled, may willingly blind some into the
support of the incongruous ticket nomi
nated by the clique, and ratified by a ina
joritv of the county convention because the
matter was all understood beforehand—but i
if tin people of Mitllin county give their
assent at the ballot-box to ibis fraud upon
their rights, their sayso hereafter in all
things n lating to offices and appointments
will he of less account than it ever was
before. The) w ill of course be graciously
allowed to go to th< ballot-box and deposite
their voles for the nominees of the firm—
hut if a complaint is uttered, if a word is
said implying that a principle is set at
naught, or that certain men on the ticket
are not what they ought to be, the dictators,
through their understrappers, will meet
them with a speech in effect as follows :
• Gentlemen—The Democratic party is the
' friend of equal rights, free thought, and
'justice— you are all at liberty to do as
' you please, but it you don't vote for one
'term, two terms, or three terms, just as
' " in solemn conclave choose to sav—if
• von don't support such men as we choose
- to set before you—or if you go about and
sav that we have changed our principles .
on the tariff or any other question—why j
vou are no longer democrats, and we'll
4 put you out of the party !' That's pre
cisely the liberty the leaders of locofocoisnt
in this county, who arrogate to themselves
the name of democracy, allow the people
who have so often sanctioned their doings,
and if they now wish to rivet the chains
held over them, they need but to go to the
polls on Tuesday next and vote for Ross,
Stroup, Alexander & Co.
The Issue.
Before the publication of our next num
ber, the election will have passed, and the
issues pending decided, so far as Pennsyl
vania is concerned. The great principle
to be decided is that of a Tariff which
will give us protection sufficient to restore
our drooping iron works and manufactories
to at least living profits with fair wages to
the laborer. The Whigs believe that in
this country there is intelligence, energy,
industry, and capital enough if allowed
scope, to make us independent of all for
eign countries in the manufacture of all
articles essential to our comfort—and that
we ought not to he dependent for any man
ufactured articles whatever. But especi
ally, we believe to keep us dependent upon
F.urope for articles essential in time of
war, is suicidal. Iron is an article of this
kind. We have ail the material—and it
can he produced in Pennsylvania in abun
dance—and would be, were it not for the
pauper labor of Europe. Why should
not our laborers he protected, so as to enable
us to manufacture Iron, and be independent
of any foreign country whatever? It ap
pears to us that the wisdom of our policy,
111 opposition to the locofoco doctrine of
Free Trade, is too plain for argument. It
cannot he decided but iu one way.
If, then, our principles ure right, why
should not men be selected to carry them
out ? In this district the whig candidate
is a man of unquestioned ability and high
character, who can and will command as
much respect and influence as any one
who could be sent there. For the State
offices, it is rarely that any party has an
opportunity to vote for such men as JO
SEPH HENDERSON,JOSHUA DUN
(i AN, and 11E NR V \V. S N YI)E R. They
are men right from the ranks of the peo
ple, and are selected solely on account of
their peculiar fitness for the respective offi
ces for which they arc nominated. Neith
er of them have been office-seekers ; have
never been known as thrusting themselves
forward on any occasion ; and all of them
are men of character, standing, and re
spectability in society. This cannot he
said, at least, of all their opponents.
The fir?'! rallv then should be for the
Congress, and thru for the State ticket—
a united front should be maintained for the
\\ big candidates on these tickets ; and no
personal considerations should prevent ev
i rv \ote from being given for the candi
dates as they stand. In no other way can
the Tariff doctrines of the whig party be
carried out.
Remember, then, that in supporting
DR. A!'CI LDOC'II, you are upholding
the doctrine advocated by the fathers of
this Republic and a long line of the states
men who have filled the Presidential chair,
while evorv vote given for Andrew Parker
will be hailed by the free traders of this
country and the lords and ladies of Eng
land as a \oic further to enrich them and
their manufacturers. That is the issue,
and the true one to be 1 decided on Tues
day next.
ry Our neighbor's "last cards" are
made up of a medley of political matter,
among which "Stand by your Ticket,"
" Good News," " The Tariff," " Governor
Johnston," " Astounding Disclosures,"
" (letting Desperate," fcc., are most con
spicuous. Dike many quack pills, these
paragraphs, if they do no good will not do
any harm, hence we arc disposed to let
them pass for what they are worth. In
another paragraph the Democrat alleges
rhat if wc are taken at our word the demo
crats must be a set of cheats and swindlers.
It does not follow because a few men resort
to trickery and deception that a whole party
is guilty—nor has any one said so or thought
so. The Gazette has pointed out for weeks
that the loeofoco nominations were not
made according to usage, right, or justice,
and it) doing MO has stigmatized the act as
the result of trickery, fraud, swindling, or
whatever people choose to call it. If the
democracy seo proper to endorse these
nominations at the ballot-box, and thus
encourage- a few to dictate for whom the
many are to vote, we have no fault to find,
and shall be very far from thinking them
either cheats or swindlers, because they
have an undoubted right to vote for either
Tom, I)ick, or llarrv, if they see proper
to do so. But if they will do so, and thus
endorse what hundreds allege is wrong,
we hope it will he done with open eyes.
Andy Parker and bis Supporters.
The locofoco press in this district are
determined to make Andy Parker a great
man, nolens volcns. His free trade no
tions, openly expressed on our streets a
few years ago, not working quite so well
as was then expected, are now lopped
down until his advocates would have us
forget his own words and the evidence of
our senses, and believe that he is going to
effect wonders, should he be sent to Con
gress ! They don't exactly promise that
he would go in for a change ol the taritl,
but in order to catch a vote or two among
the democracy who would rather see
American industry fSstered than British,
give a squint that way ! And then what
a speaker! what a prominent man he
would be, say they ! Andy, according to
them, would but have to open his mouth,
and Clay, Cass, <fce., would be mute with
astonishment at this unheard of prodigy,
whose fame hitherto had been confined to
making long and loud speeches in the
MitHin and Juniata court-houses, and de
livering political tirades against the whigs
in this congressional district! He need but
utter the word, and all the elements of dis
cord would be hushed ! Foote would
quit drawing pistols on Benton and knock
ing down Fremont —the southern hotspurs
would cease agitating a dissolution of the
Union, and the President and Cabinet
would listen with wonder to the new Del
phian oracle whose full moon had sudden
ly and unexpectedly lighted the halls of
("ongrcss ! A< s, Andy would no doubt be
:t great man, though unfortunately for him
nobody but our brethren of the press—
who no doubt are well paid for print
ing tickets, <fcc.—and a few windy parti
sans seem to know it—the masses being
so incredulous, notwithstanding they have
known him front petticoats up, as not to
believe it.

The Governor's Visit to Huntingdon.
The Huntingdon Journal gives a glowing ac
count of Governor Johnston's reception at that
place and Cassville. At the latter town he ad
dressed an eloquent and argumentative speech
to the hard-fisted boys in attendance—spoke of
the measures of the National and State Admin
istrations, and called on all who approved them,
to sustain those measures by their votes. He
justified in the most convincing manner, his veto
of the first Apportionment hill—he remarked on
the necessity of carrying out his endeavor to
extinguish the State debt, by forming a nucleus
at the last session for its gradual reduction and
final extinction; and observed that the actual
and necessary expenses of government, for all
three departments, legislative, executive nnd
judiciary, amounted to the small sum of $250,-
000; whereas, four millions were annually paid
by taxation, Ac., by the citizens of the State;
but had we no debt, a large sum, after all ex
penses paid, might be annually applied in fur
therance of our system of common school edu
cation. He, in the most plain, argumentative
and convincing manner urged the necessity of a
change in the collection of our national revenue,
so as by that means, (and no other personal it
self,) to protect and foster home industry, and
produce a home market; he also by the most
forcible and conclusive arguments, showed the
fallacy and folly of the dependence of our agri
culturalists on a foreign market for their pro
duce. He explained lucidly and eloquently, the
importance of the results which would follow
the next election, instancing the election of \u
ditor General, Surveyor General, Prosecuting
Attorneys, and the alteration by amendment of
our organic law, making an elective judiciary.
He appealed to bis fellow citizens with irresist-
ible force, endeavoring to convince men of every
party, that it was their duty, even at self sacri
fice, to attend and vote at the next election.
The Governor spoke for more than an hour.
His speech was listened to by the large con
course present with most marked attention, and
we venture to assert, found a hearty response in
the hearts of all present.
Gen. VVM. 11. IRWIN, was called for and made
one of his happiest efforts. He occasionally held
the audience in breathless silence by his flights
of eloquence, and then he would have them con
vulsed with laughter by his well directed wit
and sarcasm.
At Huntingdon the Governor also addressed
a large meeting in a forcible speech, and was
followed by Gen. Win. 11. Irwin, of Lewistown,
whose remarks are thus noticed in the Journal:
Gen. WM. H. IRWIN was then called for, and
addressed the meeting. The General was ex
ceedingly happy in his remarks. As a speaker,
be has few superiors in the interior of the State.
Mr. Parker, the free trade candidate for Con
gress, received a full share of his "grape." lie
showed, by tho most convincing argument, thai
no greater calamity could befal the district, than
Parker's election to Congress, and called on the
Whigs to turn out in their strength to prevent it.
lie said that in Mitllin county, Dr. McCulloeh
would receive a good vote, and that although
some of the Locofocos said Dr. McCulloeh was
only lit to administer pills, the signs of the times
unerringly indicated that he would give Parker
such a " physic" on the second 1 uesday of Oc
tober, as would prevent hiin from making free
trade speeches in the next Congress. The Gen
eral's speech was received with marked appro
bation and enthusiasm, and-whou he concluded,
the meeting adjourned, all seeming highly de
lighted with theentertaiument they had received.
LOCAL AFFAIRS*
Census Returns.
H. MACLAY, Esq., Deputy Marshal, has
furnished us with the following statistics of
the population of the borough of Lewis
town :
East Waul. IVtst ll'ird. Total.
Males, 661 563 1,224
Females, 607 587 1,284
Colored Males, 7 164
Colored Females, 7 109 116
Total, 1,372 1,363 2,735
From the above it will be seen that our
population numbers 2,735, which is some
what less than was anticipated by many. ■
Two years ago, we have no doubt, the
number would have exceeded 3,000. The
females, both white and colored, are deci
dedly ahead of the males !
J3F* The old stone house at the east
corner of Main and Water streets was filled
with smoke on Friday afternoon last, which
created an alarm of fire, but beyond the
burning of some chips in the cellar we be
lieve no injury was sustained. A number
of panes ot glass, window sash, &c., were
broken by some one who was over anxious
to make room for the smoke or water—we
don't know which—and got his fingers
severely cut for his pains.
During the high wind 011 Wednesday
evening, a barrel with ashes in it was dis
covered to be on fire in the cellar of a
house at or near the junction of Market
and Valley streets. Ashes are of the
worst class of incendiaries, and too much
care cannot be used in stowing them away.
A fire in that quarter of the town 011 Wed
nesday evening, with the water stopped
off, would have been an awful affair.
ry a storm of wind, hail and rain
passed over this county on Friday evening
last, which did considerable damage in the
Valley. Some buildings were injured,
many fences prostrated, and an immense
quantity of fruit stripped from the trees.
The hail in some parts is described as
having been as large as a walnut. This
hail storm seems to have extended over a
great portion of the Middle States, its prin
cipal force having been felt at Pittsburgh,
where the hail stones are represented to
have equalled hens' eggs in size.
On the previous evening, as appears
from the following letter to the Baltimore
Sun, a rather great Hail storm raged in
Old Virginia :
AVIVCHESTER. \*a , Sept. 27th. ISSO.
Messrs EDITORS :—We had a great hail-storm
here last evening, between 4 and 5 o'clock.
Some of the cakes of ice, for they were noth
ing else, were from 6 to 6 inches long and 4 in
ches in diameter. Some of the most incredu
lous tales are told about them, that none but
those who saw them would believe. I measured
one that after lying fifteen minntes on the ground
was 4. inches in diameter, and I feel satisfied
that if it had been weighed in due time it would
have weighed one pound and a half. Some
would measure 18 inches in circumference.
