BKHR. —Our friend, CHRISTIAN SMITH, lias again favored us with a cask of beer from his brewery at the stone bridge, and we would recommend all who desire a taste of an unadulterated article of malt liquor to give him a call. It is quite as palatable as any ale to be had here, and undoubtedly more conducive to health. The democracy of Berks countv gravely held a meeting the other day and declared themselves in favor of an in creased duty on iron! They have evi dently forgotten that if the principle of protection is recognized at all, it is just as applicable to other matters as iron, and hence it will not do to make fish of one and flesh of another. This move is noth ! ing more than an intrigue to secure votes for the presidential campaign, and our readers need not be surprised if thev hear that even 44 our Andy" lias made a speech in favor of 44 protecting and enriching" those whom the locofoco papers have for \ears held up as 44 iron nabobs," 44 enemies of the poor man," Sec. | HP The Washington Vnion, the organ of locofocoism, in speaking of the recent controversy involving the property of the Methodist Book Concern, calls the north em Methodists 44 plunderers', and 44 the perpetrators o! a brutal outrage." We suppose if a northern man were to sav the same thing of southern slaveholders, it would he cited by the Union as evidence cl treasonable sentiments at the north ! TEMPERANCE. —The " friends of tem perance" in liluir county are circulating n petition to die Legislature, praying for an amendment to the constitution, at the ear liest possible period, " prohibiting the sale within the State of all intoxicating liquors and for a beverage." As no amend ment can be submitted to the people of tiiis State lor lour years, we regard litis • early movement as a sign that the temper erance question will again lie brought into the political arena, and that tavern keepers '-■ yd! be apt to have a lime ol it. NEXT STATE FAIR. —The llariisburg Telegraph slates that the receipts ai the aate State Fair were about *4.500. which r. addition to the annual appropriation train the State, (32,000. we believe.) and the subscriptions by the citizens of Ilar iisbur?, will put the society in possession of some 38,100. The Telegraph propos es that, after all the premiums awarded are paid from 'lie treasury, the residue of the the money be appropriated to the purchase of a field in the vicinity of Ilarrisburg, for each .future annual exhibition of the -Societv. *"3** Bedford, Fulton and Cambria coun ties have elected Buchanan delegates to the 4th of March convention.

The locofoco orators and free trade advocates are gradually arriving at the doctrine of free trade and direct taxation—nor will it be long before honest tariff democrats will discover that thev have been made t to in struments to reduce the 4 * standard of labor in this country to that of Europe," of de- stroying our manufactories, of sending our gold and silver to England and France to pay for merchandise, and driving thou sands of consumers into producers ; and for all this .Mr. Polk's late Secretary of the Treasury would thank God ! The Magazines. We can furnish subscribers to the Ga zette with either of the magazines noticed below, at less rates than they can he pro cured otherwise: GODEY'S LADY'S HOOK, for December, is embellished with two fine companion plates, the Dress Maker ami the Dress Wearer, beau tifully printed in colors—a Tinted Engraving of the Reconciliation—The Frozen Mill, a Winter scene—a handsome Fashion Plate—Music, a Model Cottage, and a variety of illustrations of Ladys 1 work. The contributions are very in teresting, and from the pen- of W. Gillmore Simms, Maria Rousseau, iladdie Dane, Mary Spencer Pease, T. Hempstead, and a number of other writers familiar to, and favorites with the readers of the " Rook." in his prospectus for 1832, Gody promises—and he always keeps his promises—to sustain, and even improve, the excellencies of the " Book' 1 in all its various Departments—with a peciil view to make it interesting and useful to the ladies, for whose taste especially it cater 3.

Several new features have been ad ded to this Magazine, increasing its interest and beauty, among which are a Department for j Ladies 1 Work—one of Cottage arid Village Ar chitecture, and a Humorous Department amu- ' singly illustrated, called " Puck's Portfolio."— All of these will bo continued during the year 1852, and tnis Magazine of American Art and Literature commends itself to a libeial support from American readers.

In 1802, the amount of reading matter in this Ma- ! gazine will be nearly doubled, and the January issue will contain the commencement of an original novel written by James, expressly for 1 Graham. In the Department of Art this Ma gazine cannot be, excelled. LOCOFOCOS AM) BANKS. —in Illinois, an out and out locofoco State, the question of Banks was lately submitted to a vote of the people, and the bank-hating locos gave a majority of more than 5000 far banks ! The Position of the Whig fart). " If the signs of the times are to lie relied upon, at the assemblage of the National Con i vention next Spring, the Whigs will have control in hut two States of the Union. Vermont in the North, w ill go for Webster, and Tennessee, in the South, probably for Filinore. The New York and Massachusetts elections are yet to come off, but there is little douot that they will . follow Pennsylvania and Ohio.' 1 This paragraph has taken the rounds ol most of the locofoeo papers, and has elici ted the following well-timed remarks front the Warren (Ohio) Transcript: It is true that the elections both at the North and South have been adverse to the Whigs, and why is this? There are two sets of extreme views in this country on the slavery question. One is the ultra, radical, & impracticable pro-slavery faction at the South, which would make every thing subservient to the propagation, ex tension and perpetuation of slavery, re gardless of the rights and interests ol Iree nien—the other the equally ultra and im practicable anti-slavery faction of the North, which would make the government the means of carrying out their peculiar views, regardless of the constitutional rights ol the South as members of this confeder acy. Both advocate a disregard of the laws of the land, when they do not meet their extreme views. The Whig party bel nigs to neither schools, but is the real conservative partv of the country, and looks equally to the interests and rights of all sections of the I niou. Its position and action suits neither extreme, and hence it meeets the united opposition of both, but on directly opposite grounds. Because it will not yield itself implicitly to the guidance of the slavery propaganda of the .South, and refuses to lend its aid to the acquisition of territory out of which to make Slave States: because it will not aid the extension of slavery over our newly ! acquired territory; because it will not lend its entire influence to the strengthening and building up of the peculiar institution generally ; the elections are adverse to the Whigs. At the North the elections arc against us for the opposite reason. The State of Ohio is given to the "Slave De mocracy,'' as the Chronicle styles it. be cause the Whig partv refuses to denation alize itself and become entirely sectional in its action and character. And hence the Whig party is crucified between these two extremes. The Southern locofoeo pres ses prove quite conclusively to their readers that the Whig party is an abolition party, and hostile to the peculiar interests ol the South, and point to VINTON, SEW.MID, and others to prove it, uiule the Northern fac tion prove just as conclusively to their readers, that the Whig party is proslaverv, and hostile to the interests of the free North, and by their divisions throw the elections into the hands of the locofocos. The Whig party is neither the one nor the other, but is mindful alike of the rights of the North ami South. It is a party which seeks to dev elope the great Agricul tural, Manufacturing, Mineral, and indus trious interests of the entire I nion. Its principles are bounded by no sectional and geographical lines, and hence it finds faction everywhere its bitter and deadly opponent, and wherever this spirit prevails, the \\ liitr party is sure to lose by it. With a singular inconsistency, the Nor thern radicals throw their power and in fluence, either directly or indirectly, into the hands of the " natural allies ol the South, ' and thus aid in defeating the Whigs. It is by the operation ol such causes that the Whigs are defeated North and South at the present time, where faction is rife in each. But this will not always last. Truth and right are in neither extreme, but in the conservative position of the Whig parly. And although darkness now surrounds her path it is but indicative of a brighter ilavv n, which is sure to follow, when the great truth which we advocate shall prevail. Men may clamor as much as they will, they may heap abuse upon us, and uppH to us oppro brious epithets, ibex ma} sneer at us for being conservatives, and use it as a term of reproach, but they cannot always suc ceed ut deceiv ing ami blinding the eyes of the people. We ask for no better cv idence I thai our principles and actions are right, than that they do not suit either faction. We sav to Wliigs, take courage ! \ our cause is just, and if you are but true to yourselves and your principles, you will - prcv ail. fcinpeiisation of Postmasters. In consequence of much complaint on ihe part of postmasters, that while their labor was increased their compensation uas greatlv diminished under the new postage law, the Postmaster Genera! lias issued a circular, granting an increase of commissions in tic - following ratio:— Where the commission for the fiscal year ending .Inlie 30, IH.>l, did not exceed fifty dollars, the same, amount of commis sions allowed for that year, with twenty per ecul. added thereto shall lie allowed and credited to the Postmaster for the fis cal year ending June 30, 1H52 ; more than fifty and not exceeding one hundred dol lars, fifteen per cent; more than one hun dred and not exceeding five hundred dol lars, twelve and a half per cent ; exceed ing five hundred dollars, ten per cent. The rate of allowance after the present fiscal year is reserved for future considera tion, and will be determined 011 after the accounts for the first three quarters of the present fiscal year have been adjusted In die Auditor. It is said that Hon. A. J. Ogle is to receive the appointment of Charge to the Court of Denmark, in the place of the 1 ion. Walter .Forward, recalled at his own request. The Recent Elections.

There is no choice of Coventor by the people, and the election will go to the Legislature, the political character ol which is yet to be determined. The call for a Convention to amend the Constitution is defeated by from 3000 to 1000.

Ale- Alpine and Chatiield, were elected by Ami-Kent votes: anil McMpine, Wright and Randall had also the nomination of the New A ork Castle Garden " I nion" or "Cotton*' committee, which saved their necks. It is not unworthy of remark, that four of the locofoeo candidates elected were Van Buren free sobers in 1818! The Legislature of Georgia, on the 13th inst., elected the Hon. Robert Toombs U, S. Senator for six vrars from the 4th of March next, in place of Berrien, whose term expired. There was no opposing candidate. In the evening, af ter lii-> election, ./r. Toombs addressed a large concourse at the Slate House, and, in the course of his remarks, announced that the. Constitution al Union party would adhere to its present isolated and independent organization and name —that it v. ill not send delegates to, or be repre sented in, either the National Whig or Demo cratic Conventions of the next year, but that it will await until those Conventions have assem bled and set forth their principles and candidates before the country, before determining with which side or party it will act. He said also, that as an indispensable condi tion'for securing the support of the Union party of Georgia, the National Convention, whether Whig or Demo eratic, vv ilk which it might coalesce, must adopt the compromise part of the Union party plat form : and this condition complied with, the Constitutional Union party of Georgia would be tree to unite with either the National Whig or National Democratic party.

The first number of the new series will be issued on the first of January next. The Home Journal has now become universal. There are lew families of cultivated habits—(few i.f those who seek to enliven and make home the most ; intelligent and attractive place*—w ho do not now receive it. It is read, we believe, wherever run the gold threads of domestic happiness and true moral refinement, which are woven so thickly into the ; stronger and coarser web of our country's industry and energetic prosperity. The Home J burn:,) is the speaker to the hearts of this butty nation, in the hours given to happiness and relaxation. Our increased subscription enables us to command both more material and more assistance than we have heretofore used upon the paper. We are now I able to transfer some of the merely laborious depart ' mcnts to other hands. This enables us to carrv out a very cherished design of our own—one of which we have Jon-j seen the value, but which we have deferred, simply and only from not having the time and labor to do justice to it. We now announce it • however, and will endeavor in some measure to de scribe it under the head of A NKW FKATCRE. Every one knows how a tea-table or evening circle I is enlivened, by the coming in of an intelligent man, j who knows all the new ideas afloat, and tells them briefly, gayly, arid off-hand, in the way of ordinary conversation. Sue ha person gives you the substance j of ail the daily papers, in three or four sentences j —tells you the plan and moral of a new book in a : dozen words—gives the essence of a sermon, the i core of a public speech, the key to a public charac ter, the spirit of an article in a review, the novelty in fashion, the last turn in politics—all briefly, and all without detail or flummery—leaving it with you, as material for your own discussion and gossip! This is just what we propose to do for the Home Journal for 1852. We mean to jot down, for our readers, in the fewest words possible, every new idea that falls in our way. As we read, as people drop in and talk, as we look about in our walks, we shall be on (he look-out foi ideas and novelties giving them in the briefest shape, under the head of MEMS. FOR Gossir. Formerly, we used to lay such memoranda aside, to write about if we should find time—now. we shall give them to our readers, to discuss for themselves. In this way, the subscriber to the Home Journal will stand a chance to get hold in some shape or other, of every new idea that is going. The other popular features of the paper will be continued :—Sketches of Belles, Portraits of public Characters, descriptions of stirring scenes in New- York, news of fashion and manners, phases of gay and literary society, any new fun or new follv—in short, a PICTU RE OF THE WORLD AS IT TASSES. ' We have scarce thought it necessary to mention, how ever, what our readers well understand, that we take care also to chronicle and advance every interest of benevolence and moral improvement,and strive hard to make the Home Journal no less useful and improv ing than if is enterta.ning and original. As a New Year's Present, from a Gentleman to a Lady, the Home Journal is one, of which the remetn brance is renewed every week, and it is unsurpassed as a gift in good taste.
