SHE GASES SE.
Plain Talk for A Loco.
There is no mistake that the extraordinary
appropriations of the people's money since j
Win. Biglcr has become Governor of this j
State, are awakening even some of the Lo- j
cofocos to the danger of an overwhelming
debt which is threatening us. The last Berks
Count v Press, an organ of that party in
Old Berks, " speaks out in meeting" after j
this fashion :
ANOTHER STEP TO THE REAR.
The Appropriation Bill of the last session
of our State Legislature is one of the most
\oluniinous documents of its kind on record.
It is beyond all precedent, the most extra
ordinary which has ever been conjured up as
to the amount of its appropriations, not only
as to the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, but as to almost everything else within
its capacious grasp. Instead of being a bill
providing for the expenses of the govern- j
ment, it ought to have had a true title —one j
expressive of its meaning, and *ne which j
would indicate its objects. As we said in
our last, it votes away, out of the treasury, j
the enormous sunt of five millions, one httit- \
dred and ninety-two thousand, four hundred
at at thirty-three dollars and Jo rty-four cents, j
being an amount far beyond the means of |
the treasure, and which must necessarily in
crease our alreadv enormous debt. I lie title ,
of the bill is a falsehood because it does not j
express its true object, and should have read:
" An Act to increase the State debt, to plunder
the Stole, and to fed the ha nary brigands
and plunderers who infest the, public ennuis t
and railroads, and to continue the circula
tion o/ poisonous and unconstitutional shut- ■
plasters."
Emptying the treasury would not satisfy
the extravagance of the ruling powers, but
the cancellation of the relief notes must be
stopped, ill order not to interfere with the ,
immense projects and charities contained in
the bill, so tliat we have in the year before us,
the doors of the treasury opened to how oft
millions of dollars, in channels hitherto un
known, lavished upon State officials in the
most reckless manner, and old exploded claims
paid probably ten times over, and new ones
received to swell the enormous aggregate con
tained in the bill. Is this honest or Rcino
cratic? We say no! and the people say no!!
and their voices will he heard in a nam of
condemnation which will shake the seats ol
tli sr ntlicial cormorants to atoms. Five mil
lions of money, the principal part taken from
the pockets of the people, for a State like
Pennsylvania, with no revenue from impor
tations or any other source but direct tax
ation, is astonisbiug, and shows an utter dis
regard of tin' interest of the people, already
suffering from a heavy load of taxation,
which none but the most reckless, insane and
corrupt would dare to inflict.
Locofoco Consistency.
The lUSth section of the Appropriation
Bill provides:
"That the cancellation of the notes issued
under the act of fourth May, one thousand
eight hundred and forty-one, and renewed
under the act of tenth April, one thousand
ei< r ht hundred and forty-nine, be, and Re
sume is hereby postponed for another period
i>/ three years from the passage oj this net."
' In 1848,' as is well said by the Lancaster
Whig, 'the Locofocos appeared very indig
nant when a similar provision was adopted.
In 1851, they have themselves declared
against the cancellation of the much abused
Relief Notes. Let it be remembered when
they are heard denouncing a 'paper currency,'
that when they had the power they actually
refused to provide for their destruction ! (lov.
B-trier was last fall among the foremost in de
nouncing the Notes. Now he signs a bill
which postpones their cancellation for three
vears. Who is so foolish or so stupid as to
rely upon Locofoco pledges or the sincerity
of Locofoco professions?'
Locofocos I-fndorsing the Sinking Fund.
Last fall, when ail election was pending,
the f.ocos, with Win. Bigler at their head,
ridiculed and denounced the Sinking fund
Scheme. Now that the election is over, in
stead of repealing what they denounced as
absurd and useless, they have actually
strengthened it by increasing its sources of
income! The 26th section of the Appropri
ation bill provides:
" That hereafter it shall be the duty of the
State Treasurer to pay over to the Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund, the whole
amount of the three inili tax off.freight re
ceived from the Pennsylvania Railroad Gom
pany, to be applied by them to the cancel
lation uf the public debt, in the same manner
that all other receipts to that fund are ap
plied."
A B'#SELESS BODY. —The London paper
describe an inquest held by the Coroner, on
Elizabeth Vigors, aged live years. 1 lie body
presented a horrible spectacle, being one
imnp of flesh, twisted and distorted. De
ceased's father stated, that soon after jit-r
birth a girl threw deceased over her back to
the ground. Since the occurrence, she as
sumed a curved position, could eat nothing
but bread and butter —and when touched, her
tomes appeared to snap. She had been un
der medical treatment for a long time, with
out deriving the least benefit. He found her
dead in bed. .Mr. Harrison, surgeon, made
a post-mortem examination. There were no
bones in the body; the limbs were purely
gristle. It was an aggravated case of what
was called " rickets."
A Mass Meeting of the friends of Mr. Fill
more, favorable to his nomination for the
Presidency, was held in the Chinese Museum,
Philadelphia, on Saturday night. John B.
M vere presided, assisted by a number of vice
presidents. A number of speeches were
made. Great harmony prevailed in the meet
ing. which lauded the' administration of Mr.
Fillmore, and proclaimed its preference for
his re-nomination as the whig candidate, with
- it saying or doing aught to detract from any
O! her candidate. The meeting was large and
litkusiastie.
(Kit.. —The price of wool has come down
a little. A lot of new clip has been s.old at
New-York at 38 cents a pound. The iir.-t of
the new clip last year brought 17 cents. Ihe
woollen manufacturers have suffered, during
tli - pu-t year, from the high price of the raw
material, arid the low price of goods.

Protection from Lightning.
riVtlE subscribers art now manufacturing in
[ Lewistown and Bellcfonte their celebrated
PA TENT LIGHTNING RODS, warranted su
perior to any in use. These spiral twisted car
bonised Rods are light half inch in ten feet
lengths, perfectly screwed together, with brass
sockets, and put up through giass insulators in a
most substantial manner—the whole mounted
with a solid silver plated copper point, that will re
main bright as long as the Rod stands. 11l this
connection we would simply remark that a rusty
1 steel or iron point can be ot no use on a Light
ning Rod, for tiie plain reason that they answer
( no end that would not be accomplished simply
by sharpening the end of the Rod. One of the
proprietors being liiinseit a practical Chemist
and Electrician, would assure the public that
tiicse improved Rods are manufactured and put
up on scientific principles. We deem the im
portant fact that over six hundred thousand teet
of these celebrated Rods have been sold in one
j season, a sufficient recommendation ; neverthe
less we hav'e numerous certificates from promi
nent persons, speaking in the highest Icrmsof
• their utility.
Our teams arc traversing all parts of the coun
try with ail the necessary apparatus for putting
up Rods at once.
We can be seen at Hamaker's Hotel, in Lew
istown. Pedlars will find it greatly to Ineir in
terest to call on us, as we arc prepared to sell to
them on accommodating terms.
