Death of Henry Clay.
The distinguished statesman and orator
who has for many years been identified with
tin- history of his country, is no more, having
calmly and peacefully breathed his last
on Tuesday, at 17 minutes past eleven o'-
clock. Although long since looked for, this
national bereavement has cast a shade of
-• .wav y-r our widely extended country and
culled lorth every demonstration of respect
in all the principal cities of the Union, even
from those who in times past were most
ready to assail his motives and misrepresent
his character. But he needs no eulogy now
that he is gone, lie sleeps his last sleep, in
the silent recesses of that grave where all
will eventually rest, but long after he has
nu uldercd into dust, his imperishable deed
will rise up before the people of this country
as evidence of bis statesmanship, and a de
votion to patriotic objects without a parallel
since the days of the revolution ; and then
will thi' people do ample justice to the mem
ory of HENUY CLAY.
Important Notice.
V e have been at considerable expense of
late in replenishing our office with type, Ac.,
and would now thank those indebted—par
ticularly in accounts ranging from So and
upwards—to make payment. We do not
olten dun, even for old accounts, but we can
assure all, that wlien we say we NEEH MONEY
we mean what tee sop.
National Anniversary.
On Sunday next SEVENTY-SIX YEARS will
have elapsed since the Declaration of Inde
pendence was promulgated at Philadelphia,
and by which the ties that had connected us
with Great Britain, were forever dissolved.
I luring that period, our population has in
creased from three to twenty-three millions,
and an extent of territory added that by far
exceeds ail the calculations of the far-seeing
statesmen who framed our government; we
have happily passed through several wars,
through internal commotions that at times
threatened tin* perpetuity of our institutions,
while science and the march of intellect have
lumished us with improvements that almost
annihilate space in the transmission of in
telligence; with roads that render a journev
*<>f thousands of miles mere trips of pleasure:
and machinery which, when perfected, will
render severe toil and labor almost uiineeessarv!
Truly, this is a wonderful age, and should
inventive genius continue to develop its
faculties, what wonders inav not lee seen,
even by some now living, on the 4th day of
July, 1'.'28?
As has been the practice for several years,
there will be lio public celebration of tin
day, except in small parties—a practice we
believe quite as patriotic, and certainly
more orderly, than that formerly in vogue.
A heavy storm of rain visited portions of
tliis county on '1 m-sday evening, which rais-
I Ki-hacoquilhis (.'reek to an unusual heigth.
11.0 abutment at the aqueduct, in this place,
was somewhat injured, but not so much as to
interfere with navigation on the canal. Tin
feeder, by which the Lewistown Mills are
driven, sufh-red considerable damage, about
one hundred yards of the embankment having
been washed away. It will however be
speedily repaired. Along the stream and its
tributaries, more or loss injury was sustain
ed in low grounds by almost every one—
spring-houses having been overflowed, gardens
and fields washed out or filled up, fences
carried away, &<•. Two horses, the property
Albright, of lb try township, were
killed by lightning in a field.
In parts of the \ alley, the crops have
been sadly beaten down, several instances
having came to our knowledge where it is
stated the wheat has been almost totally de
stroyed.
MASONIC.— Ihe Masonic fraternity are fit
ting up the third story of the new build
ing, known as the Odd Fellows' Hall, as a
.meeting room for Lewistown Lodge, No. 20d.
They design dedicating the room to that pur
pose on Monday evening, .ui which occasion
the District Deputy Grand Master, and the
Masonic brethren of ITarri.-dmrg and Hol
lidaysburg, have been invited to participate
in the festival. The proceedings will be
public, and our citizens generally, 'the ladies
particularly, for whom seats will be provided,)
are invited to be present and witness the
ceremonies. The room will also be open on
Monday afternoon and evening for visitors.
The Charleston IS. ('.) Mercury expresses
the opinion that the whigs <>f the South will
ratify the nomination of Gen. .Scott. The
-Mercury considers Scott the strongest candi
date that could have l.-eu lminimudj and that
Le will be hard to beat.
General Scott's Hetter of Acceptance.
The National Intelligencer of Tuesday con
; tains the letter of Gen. Scott to Gen. Chap
man, President of the Whig National Con
vention, accepting the nomination for the
Presidency of the United States :
WASHINGTON, June 24th, 1852.
j To the Hon. J. G. Chapman,
President of the Whig National Convention.
SIR :—I have had the honor to receive from
your hands the official notice of my unani- i
mous nomination as the Whig candidate for
! the office of President of the United States,
I together with a cbpy of the resolutions passed
| by the Convention, expressing their opinions
i upon some of the most prominent questions
{ of national policy.
This great distinction, conferred by a nu- j
nierous, intelligent, and patriotic body, repre
! senting millions of my countrymen —sinks :
deep into my heart. Remembering the very
j eminent names which were before the Con
-1 vention in amicable competition with my own,
1 am made to feel—oppressively—the weight
; of responsibility belonging to my new posi
-1 tioii. Not having written a word to procure j
this distictiuctiou, 1 lost not a moment after it ;
j had been conferred in addressing a letter to
one of your members, to signify what would |
I bo, at the proper time, the substance of my
reply to the Convention ; and I now have the
honor to repeat, in a more formal manner, as
the occasion justly demands, that 1 accept the
j nomination with the resolutions annexed.
The political principles and measures laid
| down in the resolutions are so broad that
there is liltle left for me to add. I. therefore,
! barely suggest, in this place, that should I,
| by the partiality of my countrymen, be ele
i vated to the 'chief magistracy of the I nion, 1
: shall be ready, in my connection with Con
gress, to recommend or approve of measures •
in regard to the management of the public
] domain, so as to secure an early settlement of
the same, favorable to actual settlers, but con
sistent, nevertheless, with a due regard to the
equal rights of the whole American people in ,
that vast national inheritance, and also to re
commend or approve of a single alteration in
our naturalization laws -uagest -d bv ntv mili'.a- '
rv experience, viz:- < living too il foreigners the
right of citizenship, who shall faithfully serve,
I in time of war, one year on board of our pub
j lie ships, or in our land forces—regular or
volunteer—on their receiving an honorable
j discharge from the service.
In regard to the general policy of the al
- ministration, if elected, L should, of course,
j look among those who may approve that police
| for the agents to carry itiiitoexecutiun ; and 1
should seek to cultivate harmony and fraternal
.sentiments throughout the W big part v. with
out attempting to reduce its incut Iters by pro
j scriptiun, to exact uniformity to my views.—
Hut 1 should, tit the same time, be rigorous in
regard to qualifications tor office, retaining '
and appointing no one either deficient in
c iparity or integrity, or in devotion to liberty,
to the Constitution and the Union. Con
vinced that harmony or good will betwem
the different quarters of our broad country is
essential t<> the present and future interests of
the republic, and with a devotion to those
interests that can know no South and no
North, 1 should neither countenance nor
tolerate any sedition, disorder, faction, or re
sistance to the law of the I nion on any pre
text, in any part of the laud; and I should
carry into the civil administration this one
principle of military conduct—obedience to 1
the legislative and judicial departments of
government, each in its constitutional sphere,
saving only in respect to the Legislative the
possible resort to the veto power, always to
be most cautiously exercised, and under the
strictest restraints and necessities. Finally,
fbr my strict adherence to the principles of
the Whig party, as expressed in the resolu
tions of the convention, and herein suggest
ed, with a sincere and earnest purpose to ad
vance the greatness and happiness of the re
public, and thus to cherish and encourage the
, cause of constitutional liberty throughout tie
world, avoiding every act and thought that
might involve our country in an unjust and
unnecessary war. or impair the faith of treat
ies, and discountenancing all political :i"i
tation injurious to the interests of society
aml dangerous to the Union, I can otter no
other pledge or guaranty than the known in
cidents of a long public life now undergone*
the severest public examination.
Feeling myself highly fortunate in IIIV
associate on the ticket, and with a lively
sense of my obligations to the Convention,
and to your personal courtesies,
1 have the honor to remain,
.Sir. with great esteem,
Y our obedient sci vant.
WINKIKLD SCOTT.
1 ho locofnco papers are just. now filled witli
articles heretofore written hv personal ene
mies of (en. Scott, and are also striving to
make it appear that there is much dissatisfac
tion in tue whig ranks on account of his nom
ination. There are alway • some who will of
course find fault with any nomination, hut we
do not hesitate to say that there were ten per
sons dissatisfied with the nomination of Gen.
Taylor in 184 X where there is one now—yet
Gen. 'i tylor feat den. Cass, undoubtedly the
strongest man in the loco ranks, and heat him
easily. Gentlonien, put that in your pipes,
and smoke it, for its a stubborn fact.
I he Democrat publishes a paragraph stat
ing that Mr. C ret"ley, id the Nciv York Tri- !
bune, pronounced Scott in lt>4S a vain, con- ;
ceited coxcomb. Our neighbors we think get
the Tribune in exchange, and if they will ex
amine the number for.June 11, they will see
that Mr. Greeley has pronounced tie- matter !
a for (/cry. The democracy is welcome to any- j
thing Parson Brownlow, southern disuniun
ists, or a few northern fools may say respect- i
ing Gen. Scott—as the whole gang can hard
ly do more than command their own votes |
—but they need not bring Mr. Greeley into '
such company.
The " Sacaium/i (Jtonjittn (Democrat,)
states its belief that a great majority of the i
Whigs of Georgia, will go with Messrs. Daw
son arid Grantlaud for General Scott, and
tliat if Messrs. Cobb, Tombs, and Stephens, '
of the " Union" party, form a third ticket
and thus divide the Democratic Vote, the '
State will go for Scoit.
The Richmond Whig, speaking of the j
coining election for the Presidency, says—
The Democrats have a bolv horror of Chin- !
pewa's luck, lie ahr-in/ Irn/lg. The British |
know it; the Indians know it.; the Mexicans i
know it; the Locos know it. The knowing j
ones never bet against a winning horse- and !
on a stumbling one, they never will stake a i
dime, ilis success is certain as death or !
taxes, 1

What true democrat would vote for a King,

The borough authorities of llollidavsburg

WM. F. SHAW is about establishing a new

Fourteen head of fine Swine, from the pens
of Messrs. Turner and Morrison, near this
place, died on Tuesday afternoon last, while
being driven towards town. They had been
purchased by a Philadelphia drover, who di
rected them to be pastured for twenty-four
hours, and then driven to the railroad
station.
A superb article of a shaving brush,
presented to us by A. A. BANKS, is just

and a great variety of tropical fruits, fancy

hibit his stock.
The Democrat of yesterday contains an ar
ticle on "Democracy vs. \\ higgery," in which
the writer gives what purports to be a review
of the origin and progress of political parties,
but takes good care to pass over a period of
twenty-eight years (from 1812 to 1840) —dur-
ing which time the mass of office-seeking fed
eralists took upon themselves the name of
democrats, and under that name have ever
since enjoyed the emoluments and honors of
office.

WASHINGTON, June 20th, 1852.
FRIEND FKVSlXUEß:—Washington witnessed
last evening one of the greatest outpourings
of freemen, to attend the Whig Ratification
Meeting, that has ever fallen to the lot of the
"oldest inhabitant"' to witness. The meeting
! took place at t 'ity Hall, and the large area of
i space surrounding the Hall was most densely
crowded, it is estimated that there were
over *i.c thousand persons present, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, fully equal
ing. if not exceeding, the enthusiasm of the
days of 1840, when we had " old Tip" for our
standard bearer. Speeches were delivered hv
several of the most prominent and eloquent
champions in our cause, and were received by
the multitude with wild demonstrations <>f
joy. Around and about the spacious stand
erected for the speakers, as also the accom
modation ot ladies, (and a goodly number of
the fair sex graced it with their presence) were
a number of beautiful American flags, fes
tooned most gracefully, and relieved here and
there with splendid transparencies, portray
ing various battle scenes, in all of which our
Old Hero acted a most conspicuous part.
After tlic delivering of speeches, the meeting
adjourned about midnight with nine heartv
cheers for " iScott and Graham," and a prom
ise front till present to use every exertion
I honorably to ensure their election.
I see by the proceedings of Congress, that
the locofocos, who have a decided majority in
) both Houses, have determined to consume the
! public time with presidential speech-making.
| Well, perhaps this is all well enough, provid
j ed they extend the same privilege to the tni
; nority. Already the locofocos have magni
j tied Mr. Fierce to the size of a very great
dew rat.' 1 understand that he acted in the
capacity of General at the age of six years.
I have not learned in what battle he figured
then, nor whether he led his company to the
; charge on foot or horseback ; but, if the lat
ter, 1 judge he rode his father's cane, or that
more common article of household furniture,
a broom handle. Jt is very strange that his
tory has b en so much at fault with regard to
the heroic deeds of General Pierce, if all we
hear at the hands of his political friends be
! true.
A word to those ovcrsanguino locofocos
who have been so ready within the past week
j t( > make large bets on the election of Piewe
and King: Be careful how you bet, or the
I old tidage " A fool and his money soon part
•''L will most certainly be brought into tv
t quisition.
Passing along the avenue yesterday, my
attention was called to the magnificent cstab
i lishmorit ot the Messrs. WIESENFELD, situate
on tne corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and
4; street, Ihesc gentlemen do a most splen
j did business in their line here, and I under
j stand, notwithstanding the very huge scale
| on which they have opened this store, it is but
a branch of their establishment in Baltimore,
i would advise your country folks, should
they visit this city, not to fail calling on the
Messrs. \\ u:>i NI ELI), if they be in quest of
sup riot* clothing, as 1 feel confident their
; wants will be satisfied, and at a price, too, that
will hardly be felt. More anon.

OHIO LOCOFOCOS; DISSATISFIED. —The Nation
; al Intelligencer publishes the following ex
; tract of a letter from a former distinguished
Democratic member of Congress from Ohio
to his son in that city, dated
NEAR LEBANON', June 14, 1852.
"We have received the report, proceedings
in part, and the final result of the late Dem
ocratic Convention at Baltimore. Everybody
here was taken by surprise at the finaruonn
tiatiou of Mr. Pierce lor President, although
I think the public mind was prepared to re
ceive that of Mr. King. There is much dis
! satisfaction in Western Ohio with the nomi
nation of Mr. Pierce for President. The
j Democratic eye was confidently turned upon
| Gen. Cass. The anxious hopes and expecta
tions of tlic party in this part of the State are
|at present said to be blast si. What will be
| the final result time will determine."

you buy, buy it at tin*
t v cheapest store, after trying at (lifl'er
i cut places, and don't make your bargains on j
| first looking at what is wanting. In strolling I
about town, you mav perhaps notice a store I
in MARKET STREET, Lewistown, next door to !
the Bank, pretty well known already as
KAUL'S Cheap Store
—in fact, the cheapest store in town. Trvit
there only once in buying your CLOTHING
—anything for instance of* BOYS & MEN'S
WEAR, from head to foot, and you'll find
out what a difference it makes to buy in the !
: right place instead of the wrong. There's no 1
mistake about this—give him a call ; lie wont
charge you anything for .showing goods, but
j he'll be alw ays most polite and accoimnodat
: ing to all who may favor hint with a visit,

/"lAUTION! CAUTION!—AII persons are
V_y hereby cautioned against a swindler, who
represents himself as my agent; he is going
about soliciting persons to buy Lightning Rods,
which he represents as my Electric Point Rods.
In some instances he has produced a certiticate.
purporting to be from me, authorizing him to
act as my agent. lie lias not confined himself
to this city, but lias been operating on the un
suspecting farmers in the adjacent country. In
one instance, a building (on which one of these
rods bad been placed, with assurance that it was
one of my make,) was struck by lightning, and
burnt to the ground. The point was brought to
my factory, and on examination proved to be a
a piece of cast iron, polished. Complaints of
this kind are coming in daily.
1 now give notice, that 1 have no agent with
in 70 miles of Philadelphia, and ail orders must
be addressed to my Factory, Vine street, above
IQth, Philadelphia, where they will receive
prompt attention.
This is the only place where the genuine
Electric .Magnet Lightning Rod can he procured,
in this city, wholesale or retail, and the electric
influence wholly belongs to myself.
Beware of importers and pedlers.
