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

the subscriptions by the citizens of Ilar

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,

fortune to remember the poor tuose un
fortunates who have neither money, food ;

rich all seasons are alike. Is it summer.

nightmare of the poor and destitute the
children of wealth can shut themselves up
in warm rooms where velvety carpels and
j blazing tires transform the chilly blasts
•into a delightful atmosphere; or if they
venture into the open air. warm clothing
and cosilv lurs envelope their person. —

our race. But while it exists, it is the

that man proves his divine origin, and
shows that there is something more in hu

be long before honest tariff democrats will
discover that thev have been made t to in

in this country to that of Europe," of de-
stroying our manufactories, of sending our
gold and silver to England and France to

LOCOFOCOS AM) BANKS. —in Illinois, an

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

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.
M.VSS.VCIU'SETTS. —The full vote ot .Mas
sachusetts for Coventor litis year, is as
follows. We place the vote ol last year
along side:

The Boston Atlas makes the Senate
stand, Whigs 11; Coalition 15; no choice
11; doubtful 3 ; and the House, \Y higs 162 ;
Coalition 113; no choice 132. 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.
LOUISIANA. —The complete returns for
this State show the election of two whigs
and two locofocos to Congress, being a
whig gain of one member. The legis
lature is vv big. which secures a 1 . S. Sena
tor in place of a secession locofoeo..
WISCONSIN. —Far well, whig, i elected
Governor of this State by a majority of
201(0. A Banking Law was the main
lest at issue, and resulted in lite election
of the whig candidate. The legislature is
composed of a large majority in favor of
I lie law.
NEW YORK. —The following are the
official majorities lor the State ticket:
Comptroller, John C. Wright, dcm., 483
Secretary of State, 11. S. Randall Jem., 1420
Attorney General, Levi Chalficid, tiein.', 340
Engineer, W. J. AlcAlpine, dein,, 2390
Treasurer, Jas. W. Cook, whig, 92
Canal Commissioner, Henry Fitzhugh, whig, 613
The State Senate is tied, but the loco
foeo Lieut. Governor will give the casting
vote. The House of Representatives will
stand 05 Whigs to 63 Locofocos. 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.
Ex-Governor James C. Jones, Whig, was
elected a United States Senator on ttie 14th inst.,
I)) the Tennessee Legislature. The vote for
Jones wy. 55; Trousdale, Democrat, 51 ; and
Nicholson, Democrat, 1.

I )) II.LIS' l!"rnr Journal for 1852, r
, J1 Family .Newspaper, publish,-,! weekly at 82 Oo
j a year. 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.
