{3Sy"The ticket for the election this year, is
composed of two pieces. The Judge of the .
.Supreme Court must be voted for singly,
while all the other candidates can be voted
for on one piece of paper, or all singly.
T he I.axt Shift.
Hopkins's case must be considered rather !
desperate when the canallers, on the eve of j
the election, put on an EXTRA STATE
FLAT, loaded with doubtful voters, who, un- !
iter pretence of putting up a bridge broken
down nearly a year ago, are leisurely sailing
oil the canal at A DOLLAR A DAY. We
hope the whigs and democrats along the line j
of the canal between this and Minehart's run
will keep an eye on this movement.
Lock Out for IhemJ
Tho Board of Canal Commissioners passed ;
westward on Wednesday evening, with a host I
. i their aids, ha ir.g no doubt, as usual, some i
very important business to transact on the :
i'ortagc contracts just before the election.

eoae one (whether by design or not we can
not i*Jl) 6pelled soup soop on a banner at J
ReedsVTJe, that a whig lady had the beauti
lul pole \jsed there bored down ! We hope
some one IA, Reedsville, conversant with the j
facte, will a} vise u, of the real state of the
case, as we the tenflou given is rather
improbable.
fifcg-The LANCASTER BAND, which re .
tained by the democracy to give eclat i
their meeting, serenadt'4 a number of our
citizens on Saturday evuiing, (ourselves
among the number,) for which we are sure
all are duly grateful. Duriug fueir stay, they
favored our town with excellent music on
various occasions, and so far as has come to
our knowledge left a favorable impression as
musicians and as men
The £tate Election.
On Tuesday next the People of Penn-yl- ,
vania are called upon to make choice of a ;
Judge for the Supreme Court, a Canal Com
missioner, Members of Congress, members of
the Legislature, and a number of county of
ficers—which, taken altogether, are certainly !
of sufficient importance to induce every voter j
to visit tlie ballot box, and there give expres
sion to his opinions by voting for those whom
he may think most likely to carry out his
views. The candidates before the people for
the important office of Judge of the Supreme
Court ought to be well weighed, and if found
wanting in any particular, their rejection j
should follow. The locofoco candidate for ,
that office is an acknowledged office-hunter, •
and has so often met with pointed rebuke at j
the hands of his own party, that there is ;
evidently something wrong. Nominated in
caucus at llarrisburg for l. S. Senator, pait\
drill was insufficient to elect him ; subse
quently, Mr. Polk, then President, nominated
him to a high judicial station, and the l\
S. Senate, composed of a large nuyority of
his party friends, also rejected liiui! The
question then may well be asked, by every
voter, whether one who has been several
times tried and found wanting, ought to be
elevated to the highest judicial office in this
State ?
For Canal Commissioner, our opponents
have nominated Win. Hopkins, who has
given ample proof of his devotion to party
by an acknowledgement some "years ago
that he had not nerve to go against it. Such
a man cannot but be of the "right stripe"
lor the present rulers of the canal and its
revenues, and all those in favor of its pres
ent profligate management will of course
vote for him.
Our county has so little of interest in
common with the locofocos of Lycoming
(which is a sort of "State" on the Susque
hanna Division of the Canal, as Miffliri is on
the Juniata,) that we can hardly conceive
why a Mifflin county citizen should vote for
one from that region, unless he desired to
fasten canal chains around the necks uf tax
payers with additional rivets. A\ e have a
(lambic in the Canal Board now —his brother
is up for Congress, and if there are any more
of the name, we should not wonder to hear
that they are also in the market for offices of
some sort.
Of the county ticket nominated by the lo
cofocos we have heretofore spoken. They
would of course like to be elected, and it
remains with the people to say whether their
wishes coincide with them. An occasional
change is of essential service to any party,
as it serves to purify it from the leeches who
are constantly seeking office, more for their
own advantage than the public good, and if
in this instance there should be such a change,
it might do much towards renovating some
of the future selections already shadowed
forth.
The " Ctrcat" Cias Mcetiug*
If our locofoco friends intended their
meeting last Saturday as an ordinary county
gathering, it was one that might puss, having
been about as large as the whig meeting held
in front of the Lewistown Hotel in August,
but if designed, as their hand-bills stated,
for a " mass meeting," it was throughout a
most magnificent fizzle; at least three-fourths
of them being either candidates for office, of
fice-holders, their friends and adherents, and
dependants of the canal. The people were
not there to the number of one hundred, in
cluding whigs.
The first speaker who took the stand was
Joseph W. Parker, Esq., who had a great
deal to say respecting " Galphinism," which
he elucidated about ;is clear as mud. Had
b thought of it, he might have taken up the
State Treasurer's report on defaulters and
given a chapter on Mifflin county galphins
that would have proved much more interest
ing than his rigmarole on government
fleers. Mr. P. is a young man of consider
able ability, who could cut a figure some day
in the political cauldron, but like too many
others, he evidently mistakes windy declama
tion for argument, and the common election
eering hobbies of such newspapers as the
Pennsylvanian, for sound reasoning.
Mr. Gamble nest took occasion to address
his new friends, for whose votes lie will no
doubt feel duly thankful until the election,
when, for aught he cares, they may go to
grass, lie is rather a pleasant speaker, and
is apparently up to " suitz" in the office
seeking line.
A procession was then formed, and the
party marched down to the intersection of
Wayne and Water streets, where, with the
ass.3tance of a whig derrick, their pole was
put up, with a banner, on one side of which
13 "Fierce King and the Union," and on the
other " the Constitution <1- the Compromise,"
which, considering that Mr. King voted
against the Compromise, is rather of the fil
libuster order. On their return the meeting
began to dwindle away, but Mr. Campbell,
from Huntingdon, fell to work and gave the
air a sound boxing with his fists for the
space of about forty or fifty minutes, which
raised curiosity enough to keep most of them
together.
In the evening, the band and drum and
life got a small gathering together, and
after a vain call for Brown and Parker, a
pop-gun from Ilollidaysburg, yclept Thomas
,C. McDowell, (the same who last year undcr
| to prove Judge Black both incompetent
* 'nest,) let off the gas which had ac
cumulated , . • . ,

therein by Dr. a. /'

Woodward Nailed.
The recent attempt of Judge Woodward to j
discredit the official record of the proceedings |
of the Reform Convention, is likely to sink |
him deeper in the political mire than may be j
agreeable to the officehunter. If he delivered ,
no such speech as that from which we lately
gave some extracts, how comes it that Mr.
Cummin, a member of that convention from
Juniata eountv, and an Irishman, rose and
DENOUNCED THE SFEECH as containing " most j
exclusive and aristocratic arguments," as cast- :
ing " reproach upon foreigners," and " as a
gross insult upon the Irish and the other for
eign population of this State." Cummin s
speech is found in the sth Volume of the Re
bates, pages 448, 449 and 450. We make the
following quotations from it:
" Mr. Cummin, of Juniata county, rose,
and said it was a very hard case that a
member of this Convention, should introduce
a proposition like that brought lorward by the
gentleman from Luzerne, (Mr. Woodward) —
that he should support it by a strong argu
ment against all foreigners, and that he should
then withdraw it, and thus cut oft" all oppor
tunity of replying to his elaborate address.
Such had been the course of the gentleman
from Luzerne couuty. He had offered his
amendment—lie had made a speech in its fa
vox-—and he denied to other members the
privilege of showing that he was entirely mis
taken in his aristocratic argument.
" Sir, (said Mr. C.,) the gentleman from
Luzerne is the last man from wh<an I should
have expected an action of this kind. 1
would have been glad that the gentleman
would have left tin* way open, for a short
time at least, that we might examine the sub
ject in relation to the foreigners of this coun
try, from the time of the revolution down to
this day, and that we might demonstrate even
to liis satisfaction, that his speech contains one
of the most exclusive and aristocratic argu
ments ever submitted to a republican assem
bly.
" The whole tenor of the gentleman's argu
ment went to cast reproach upon foreigners,
and to show that they were not worthy to be
trusted.
" The gentleman reasons rather out of the
book in one point, when ho says that the
time is now come, when the United States can
do without foreigners—that there is no neces
sity for them—that the people of tin* United
States are now able to tight their own battles,
and that they can live safe and free without
their presence, lie is mistaken if he supposes
that he can find a justification, in such rea
soning as this, for the argument which he has
offered. There is no ground on which it can
be justified. I hope, therefore, that he will
withdraw his amendment, and that he will
make an apology for what 1 regard as a gross
insult upon the Irish and the other foreign
population of this State."
Nowwhen it is borne in mind that Mr. Unm
min uttered these denunciations immediate
ly after Woodward's remarks and were then
fresh in his memory, and that he then, upon
the floor of the Contention, and in the presence
of Judge Woodward, said Woodward's senti
ments were disgraceful aud insulting, the
proof that Woodward did make the speech
reported in the debates is beyond contradic
tion, and he but exposes his dishonesty and
insults the intelligence of the people, when
he undertakes to deny the fact.
American Stocks in Idurope.
EFFECTS or THE TARIFF OF 1846.—The
Bankers' Magazine has tie following table of
estimated amount of American stocks now

It will be seen and appreciated at once,
says the Daily News, that this increase of
one hundred and twentgone millions of dol
lars represents but the amount of money ex
tracted from this country for the payment of
foreign merchandize, which is, doubtless,
principally raili'oad iron. I pon this whole
amount of indebtedness, amounting to two
hundred and sixty-one millions, the interest
is annually to be paid to Great Britain. Add
this interest to the amount annually paid in
coin for merchandize imported into the coun
try, and you have the benefits before you of
the Locofoco Tariff of 1846. Therefore, it is
fortunate for the community that there have
been stocks for exportation. What may we
expect when Europe requires the money for
these stocks and loans ?

The Democrat has found a great hero neat-
Brown's Mills, named Lloyd, who it states
ascended a tree in the face of twenty of those
who, according to that paper, had put up an
effigy intended to represent Pierce, and cut it
down. The whole thing strikes us as a very
good " Roorback" uti the eve of an election—
but where was this hero during the Mexican
war?
SINGULAR DISCOVERY. —It is stated in one
of our English papers, that the work of
draining the Lake of Haarlem, has led to the
discovery of an immense mass of human re
mains, deeply imbedded iu tbo mud, and
placed precisely on the spot where, according
to a topographic chart, laid down in 1511,
and which has always been considered as per- |
fectly accurate, the unfortunate village of
Nierewenkirk was situated, and which in
1539 was swallowed up by one of these ir
ruptions of the North Sea, which formed the
immense Lake of Haarlem.
WHIGS TO TUT. WORK!
" Yow's tlic Day and Now'a the Hour ! w
WHIGS OF PENNSYLVANIA, RFMEMBER —that
an election for Canal Commissioner, Supreme
Judge, members of Congress, and the State
Legislature, takes place ON TUESDAY
NEXT.
REMEMBER —that the result of this election
will have an important influence upon the
ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT, which fol
lows three weeks after.
REMEMBER— that the chief cause of our fre
quent defeats in Pennsylvania is the want of
propter organization and proper efforts to
BIUNG OUR VOTERS TO TIIE POLLS !
REMEMBER —that when our voters do turn
out in their full strength, we are sure of a
WIIIG VICTORY!
REMEMBER —that when the Whig vote was
nut in 1840, Gen. HARRISON carried the
State. That in 1848, the Locofocos cast the
largest vote tiny had ever polled up to that dag,
and yet Gov. JOHNSTON cart led the State;
and a few weeks after Gen. TAYLOR carried
it for President by more than 13,000 MAJOR
ITY, when the vote of both parties was largely
increased !
REMEMBER —That the vote polled in 1818,
for President, by both parties, was the largest
ever polled in the Stale, before or since; that
Gen. TAYLOR'S majority was OVER 13,000;
and that this proves that " A FULL VOTE IS
A SURE WHIG VICTORY!"
WIIIGS, arouse then, to the work before
you, and spare no effort to get out TIIE I-T I.L
WHIG VOTE IN EVERY DISTRICT. Rain
or shine,
Go to the Polls I
and urge your neighbors to go with you. If
this is done throughout the State—if the full
Whig vote is polled—the result will be us
brilliant a WHIG VICTORY as ever crowned
the efforts of anv party in the State. WIIIGS,
DO YOUR DUI'Y, and all will be well.
" Novv's THE DAY AND NOW'S THE HOUR !"
Corruption and Fraud upon the Public
Works.
The Westchester Register of August 17,
mentions the following in illustration of the
opposition of the Canal Board to the " lowest
bidder system" of purchasing the necessary
articles upon the road:
" To show the extent this system has been
carried, we will state a single fact among sev
eral of like import in our possession.
" A contract was made about two years ago,
bv the superintendent of the Columbia Rail
road, for the delivery of 90,000 cross ties at
Columbia. These ties are now being placed
under the north track. Instead of being
White Oak, about one half of them, we are
informed by those who have examined them,
are barked Black and Spanish Oak.
" These cost 45 cents each, at Columbia,
and it is estimated that when upon the line of
the road where used, the cost will not be less
than seventy rents each ; while far better ties
—all White Oak —were offered to the super
intendent at 40 cents each, to be delivered
along the line of the road. Better ties, un
der the "lowest bidder system," are now be
ing delivered to the Valley Railroad at thirty
one cents each. *
" The average duration of White Oak ties
is about fifteen years ; that of Black Oak,
about four. Here, then, the State will have
to pay sixty-three thousand dollars in four
y -ars, instead of 28 0r29. This, however, will
not be wondered at, when we add that the
ties are said to have grown on hinds belonging
to the Canal Commissioners."

THE ONLY TRUE PORTRAIT OP WASHINGTON
JUST PUBLISHED,

SfACYIFICEYT PORTRAIT
OF WASHINGTON.
Engraved (by permission) from Stuart's ONLY
original portrait, iu the Atheneum, Boston.
THIS superb picture, enrrrtveil under the superinten
dence of THOMAS SULLY, ESQ , tlie eminent and
liteltly gifi.d artist, is the only correct likeness of Wash
ington ever published. It has been characterised as the
greatest work of art ever produced in thi country. As
to its fidelity, we ref. rto the letters of the adopted eon
of Washington, GEORGE WASHINGTON PARK
(TSTIS, who says, "It is a faelil'ii) representation t.l
the celebrated original," and to GHIEF JI'STH T TA
NEY < f the Supreme Court of the United Stales, who
s i\s, " As a work of ait its ekcellei.ee and beauty must
strike every one who sees it : and it n; no less happy in
its likeness to the Father of his country, it was my
good fortune to have seen him ia the days of my boy
hood, and his w hole appearance is yet strongly impressed
on tuy memory. The portrait you have issued appears
to me to be an tract likentsc, representing perfectly the
expression as well a- the form and features of the face "
And says SEN ATOR CASS, it it a lift like repreteJta
tiun of the great original. PRESIDENT FII.I.MtIRE
says, ''the work appears to me to have been admirably
executed and eminently worthy of the patronage of the
public." Says MAUCIIAYT the eminent portrait pain
ter, and tha pupil of Stuart, "your print lo my mind is
more remarkable than any other 1 have seen, for presen
ting the whole individuality of the original porlruit, to
gether with the noble and dignified repose of air and inan
