Those who wish to take advantage of the advance terms, had better send on their money, as A DOLLAR will now pay for a year—a fact worth remembering. The Whig State Central Committee have issued an address, from which we make the following extract, relating prin cipally to the State election : Of the Presidential candidates this is not the occasion to speak. At a future time, and very soon, we will discuss them fairly and fully. We will then com p.are Gen. Scott and Mr. Pierce, and bring into juxtaposition their merits and qualifications. At the present time, it is enough to ask—if there had been no Natihnal Conventions, if every candidate had run upon his own strength, unbacked by a nomination, how many would have voted for Den. Scott ? and who would have voted for Mr. Pierce? Apart front these great national issues, other questions arise which only affect the in terests of Pennsylvania. For many years her public works have been, with a single excep tion, under the exclusive control of the loco focos. What has been the result ? Though the receipts from these works have increased manifold—though they have grown, a portion of them at least—more permanent with years, and less needful of repairs, the jwojits hare not increased, thus proving conclusively that our ruler's stomachs can be distended iu propor tion to the quantity to lie devoured. Their appetites grow with v. hat they feed upon. Like the locusts of the Fast, they eat up every tiling eatable. Their ravages of late have become so apparent, that influential, fearless nicii of their own political faith have come out on the side of the plundered tax payers, and efficiently and bitterly denounced theiii. Mil Hons hare been stolen, and Penn sv lvania groans like a helpless and overloaded tieast, under her intolerable burden, Let her hardy sons rouse up and strive to throw it off. Lot democrat unite with Whig, in a magna nimous effort to correct the abuses that are destroying her. Two democrats will remain in tle Board of Canal Commissi.mors. These constitute a majority, and will retain, no matter who is elected. \\ hig or lucofoco, tin* offices for their partisans; so that nothing can be honestly i ist to the party in place by the election of the Whig candidate—Jacob Hoffman, Noth ing will be hist to them but the hundreds of thousands that are stolen annually from the cullers of the State to enrich the corrupt and unprincipled tools of power. It will be lost to them, but it will be saved to tlie over-taxed citizens of the State. Democrats of Penn sylvania ! let a sentinel be posted within the secret places of the Temple, and the treasures will be safe. H ithiu our borders there are 20h,00{j dem ocrat®, and as many Whigs. ]s it fair that the first 200,000 should have three (.'anal ('oniinissioriers, atid the others nun* ' Ur is it fairer that they should have two, am} their i'ellow-eitiz-ns of the opposite faith one ? Let generous democrat- answer at the ballot-box. It is conceded that it is for the good of the country that two great parties should exist. Why'! That they may act as checks upon each other, J low can tfiis he ii Relation to any particular br.vteh of the government, when one party L m-ircly excluded from ail jiarticipation in that branch?

That this has )>een practised as a system, our locofoeo friends will scarcely have the hardihood to deny. By the change, fuJloty cltjiiens, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Then, in the name of common sense and com mon honesty, ).r the change he made, i,et the Augean s;i.l. - heh ansod of the accu mulated Hastiness of years. Furnish Jacob Ilotfman with tlje tools, and set him to work, Vi.u will lind him willing to use t'ugu, ami as capable as he is willing, In regard the Stnircnte Judgeship, we have but a lew Words to say. Much that we have written in reference to the Canal Board applies to this, }n additiup, there, are po litical objections to the gentleman whom our adversaries have pained as their candidate. -Against the private character of Judge Wood ward we know nothing, at id, of course, will ntter nothing. Of" his political character we do know something ; and as that at present is public property, we will not best fate to proclaim what we know. The whole career of George W. Wood ward has been marked bv radicalism and intolor .-.ace—a radicalism dangerous to the interests, and at war with the prosperity, of his native I State. Always the uncompromising enemy i f Protection, and in this only consistent, : lie deserves no honors at the hands ol Penn . ylvania; apolitical matricide, who has aimed \ ihe murderous dagger at her heart. Yester day railing with bitter vehemence against the rights of adopted citizens, and to-day, for the sake of their votes, basely recanting the honest sentiments of his heart; while he has : failed to deceive these by his apostaey, he has disgusted their opposites. Bike the environed host, lie has fallen between two tires. Never have our citizens enjoyed so good an opportunity to he heard and felt on the urea; question of Protection; for never yet have they had a State candidate before them ./ tflarin'jhj ideniijo'd v illi its foes. Already twice repudiated by his own party for his ul na radicalism —once for the Senate, and again as a nominee for the Suprejnc Bench n| the I'nited States —it is not proper that the freemen of Pennsylvania, untrue to their instincts and false to their principles, should lift the ban and place upon him the seal oi their- approval. . Fellow citizens, for the present we have done. At another time we will ask the privilege to Ire heard on other subjects of im portance no less than these. While we claim your attention fur our feeble effort in a mighty cause, we assure vou we have uttered nothing in personal unkindness. At e have struck, " Nut because we have loved Caesar less, but Rome more." In our humble opinion, our country called, and we have answered. . That all things may tend to her prosperity and greatness, as things paramount to part isan victory, is our earnest hope. By order of the Whig State Central Com mittee. DAVID TAGGART, Chairman. C. THOMPSON JONES, Secretary.

The following is General Irwin's re sponse to his nomination for Congress : LEWISTOWN, Sept. 24, 1852. MR. W. T. WILSON — Dear Sir: —Your let ter of the 21st inst., informing me that 1 had been chosen on the 15th inst. by the Whig Conferees of this district as their candidate for Congress was received, last evening. I return my grateful thanks to the confer ees and to the citizens of the counties which they represented for this unexpected and dis tinguished honor, and accept the post which they have assigned to me. The gallant Whigs of this district, I trust, will not be dismayed by any seeming obsta cles to their success ; to vill is often to con quer, and the most threatening difficulties ra pidly vanish before the fixed resolve for vic tory. But let us not forget that in this con test we have the hearty co-operation of many, very many democrats. Let no prescriptive, no exclusive, or mistrustful feeling toward our democratic friends prevail among the Whigs. 1 have acted with democrats before, and have found them true to their word—loyal to their friends; let us unite as PEXXSYLVAXI AXS, without distinction of party, in the no ble struggle to redeem our beloved native State front the oppressive hands which have dragged down her credit, turned her public works into a most corrupt political engine, and fastened upon the people the most burthen OHC taxation , and an immense public debt. Yet further, the illustrious Scott is nominated for the Presidency; in the serene evening of a lopg and eventful life spent in the service of ihe people, thoroughly versed in the history of the country—a glorious part of which he is—intimately acquainted with our constitu tion arid our laws, matured in wisdom, the friend of Peace and Liberty, the enemy of oppressive war, the ever victorious soldier, the wise statesman, and the devoted patriot, is now before bis countrymen to receive their highest reward. Pennsylvania has ever been true to the patriot soldier—to Jackson, to Harrison, to Taylor, and while New Orleans and the Thames, and Buena Vista have ap pealed to us triumphantly, shall Bridgewatcr and Chippewa, CVrro Gordo and Mulino del Key appeal to us in vain? It was my great good fortune to serve as a Captain of Infan try under Gen. Scott in that splendid cam paign which closed the war whh the capture of Mexico, JYo language of mine can portray the glory of his deeds, or the greatness oj /•• sou.!. To General Scott his soldiers were as his children, and they loved him with the most elevated and reverentialufll ction. Amid the wild tumult of the battle, when that ma jestic form appeared on the scene, and when his hand indicated the true point < f attack, and his clarion voice cried "forward," his sol diers rushed to the deadly assault with Scott's image in their hearts and his name on their lips ; and when all was silent on the vvell-\v< n and ensanguined field hut the groans of the Wounded, it was the kind and enc uraging voice of Scott, that soothed their agony, and breathed hope t<; the despairing; and when in an inhospitable clime, in a strange land, and far from house and fri -nds, his noble soldiers fell before disease, or incurable wounds, the bitter tears which gathered in those eagle eves, and poured over that war-worn face, pro : claimed the agony of that mighty heart. But the limits of my letter warn me not to enter further upon this subject now. To effect a great reform in Pennsylvania is a difficult, but not an impossible duty, but to give Gen, Septt the vote of this great State is a labor of love ! We have the Truth, we have Justice, we have Patriotism and the flight on oyr tide, and wheu did these fail to compter among a free and virtuous people? Very trulv, vour friend. \V. 11. IK WIN. Gen. Scott in the West At Frankfort, Kentucky, (Jen. Scott was received by an immense concourse of people, and welcomed by the lion. James Harlan as follows: Gen. Scott and Gen. Wool—ln accordance with an act of Congress imposing upon vou the important- duty of selecting a site for an :vsylu|;i for infirm and disabled soldiers, you b.fve visited this State, in anticipation of the honor and pleasure of meeting their distin guished f llww-oitizens, this vast assemblage of your admiring countrymen have come forth with willing hearts to give you a warm and cordial reception, 111 their behalf, and as their honored organ, I tender you sincere wel come to their hospitalities. We rejoice to see you, for thus before our eyes you bring to our minds the many glorious events with which your history is identified. Indeed, you have been upon the active theatre of life for years, rendering valuable and patriotic services to your country, So long as the history of the last war with Great Britain and that of the late war with Mexico exists, your names will 1 eyer be remembered with pride. Kentucky has been called " the dark and bloody ground." Seventy years ago, on the very spot you have just visited at the Lower Blue Licks, the early settlors of this country were engaged in the most sanguinary battle known in trie history of Indian warfare, The bodies of about 100 of as brave men as ever shouiderd a rille were left dead on the field. Fatal as that day was to our people, the survivors persevered, and finally drove the savages to the far west, and now you behold a prosperous country, which a little more than half a century ago was a vast wilderness. The associations, gentlemen, of 3'Oiir past lives, are pleasing to us as Ken tuckians, admiring as we do, your brilliant qualities, and feeling a just pride in whatever contributes to the glory and greatness of our common country; and our admiration is con fined not alone to the incidents of j our pub lic career, but extends to the commendable purity of your course as citizens in private life, Gentlemen, permit rne to say there is one feeling which pervades the breast of the people of this commonwealth, and that is the Constitution and the Union of those States. Political parties ?nay differ on the questions of State and National policy j but whenever the identity of the Union is threatened, either by domestic traitors or foreign foes, party lines will be effaced, and will bo ready to rally around the flag of their common country, and do battle in her cause. Honored as we are by your visit, and rejoicing to see you, in the name of the citizens of this city and county, and of the persons hero assembled, 1 tender j you a cordial welcome to the Capital of Ken tucky." To which Gen. Scott replied: "FELLOW CITIZEN'S ANL> MY FAIR COUNTRY WOMEN: Happy indeed ant Ito iiud inyself in your midst, It is a proud moment in 1113* i history in which I stand upon the threshold ut the eapitol of Kentucky, surrounded by such a vast assemblage of her iutelligentandpatriotic citizens, and thus receive the spontaneous greeting extended to me through your eloquent organ, in whom I am proud to say I recognize an ancient and valued friend. Need 1 say i that all these events Fill me with delight? Need I say that my obligations to Kentucky are as great as my remembrances of Ken- ! tucky are fraught with gratification ? Iler State abounds with patriots and heroes, and pre-eminently she stands among her sister States, from the time of Daniel Boone, through the eras of Shelby and the glorious Scott—l mean Governor Scott—the hero filmed in the revolutionary war, down to my own time; down to the days when 1 had the honor of the advantage of standing side by side with Kentucky's valiant sons, opposed to British regulars and to Mexican myriads. Yes, Kentucky's sons have ever done their whole duty, have ever proved themselves equal to any emergency, and capable of con tending with any troops in the world. It has been my lot to serve with them, among others, and never will 1 fail to bear witness to their valor and discipline. 1 need not, however, j refer to the deeds of your vailant sons in i Mexico—deeds which are familiar to you all. : 1 need not speak of that bloody field, on which so many of your relatives were slain. j I need not speak of Bucna Vista, fur one is here who was actively engaged on that oc casion.- lie will speak of the heroes who fell on that glorious day. But I may say, with pride, that it has been my lot to serve upon other occasions with Kentucky's valiant sons. 1 may refer with swelling heart, to her gal- 1 lant Campbell, bv whose side I fought, and whose eyes, alas, 1 closed with my own hands in death. But why dwell upon these scene?. ! It does not need words of mine to prove that • Kentucky is the first State in war, the first State in peace, and always the first in de votion to our glorious Union, That devotion pervades all classes of her citizens: it is < yi- | dent in her soldiers and in her statesmen, and it was embodied in all its fervor and depth in the person of that most eminent of her sons—the great orator and statesman who has so recently taken bis departure front the scenes of earth and left a sadness in the heart-: of the sons of Kentucky. And he has left a blank in the councils of the nation. And who is there here that does not, lo\e this glorious Union with as deep and lasting af fection? Not one. And I, too, am an hum ble servant and devotee of that Union. 1, too, would stand firmly by her side, whether threatened by domestic traitors or foreign toes. 1 have not, perhaps, to say that this Union shall not be dissolved while I survive, but 1 say that it shall not be overthrown and leave me a survivor. To the last hour of my life will I defend it, alike, from Northern and Southern fanaticism. 1 say this as no idle boast. I have said it in the hour of darkness and peril, and, therefore, may t re peat it in these hours of peace, of enjoyment and prosperity. But, my friend-. 1 must conclude. For this reception, 1 thank you all, my countrymen : and by this term, per mit me to say, I include all classes. Demo crats, Whigs, native-born, adopted citizens— for 1 have no doubt men of all parties are here, "\\ lio have come forward to welcome two old soldiers to your midst, (don. Wool is a moderate Democrat, and 1 am not a bigoted or infatuated Whig. 1 may then address you all, when 1 return }-ou thanks, as I now do, sincerely and truly, for your kindnes. — Thanks, my fellow-citizens, thanks to one and all. Loud cheers were given as the General concluded, and Gon. Wool was then called forth, and made a few very happy remarks in response. Henry Clay and General Scott. To the Editors "J the Baltimore Patriot: Veneration and respect for the character of Henry Clay, impel me, in this public manner, to vindicate his memory from the aspersion and calumny cast upon it by the Baltimore Daily Argus, in the leading editorial article of that paper of the i'Lli of .September, Among other broad and groundless asser tions, the editors of that paper say : " If Mr. Webster's name should be withdrawn as a candidate, he must cast his vote for Pierce and King, if ho votes at all; and were Henry Clay now living, tec are certain he would vote the same way. We have good and indisjntta ble authoritg for saying so." In the face of the facts which have been published to the American people, respecting Mr. Clay's opinions of the nomination of (ion. Scott for the next Presidency, upon what.'hiuthority" the editor of the Argus has the assurance to declare, that "he is certain Henry Clay, if now living, would rate Jar Pierre and King," I do not care lo know. From personal knowledge, derived from Mr. Clay in the last Jew days of his precious lib' on earth, I know the assertions of the editor of the Argus respecting Mr. Clay, which I have quoted from his editorial of the 9th inst., are disputable :md are calum i i(rushy false : and a gross and a most offensive slander upon the loved character and cherished fame of the im mortal Patriot and Fage of Ashland. During the last ten days of Mr. Clay's ill ness, I had my lodging at the National House in Washington, where he was, and had daily and almost hourly opportunities to learn and know directly from his lips, his opinions and sentiments upon political subjects and nation al affairs. <in the day of his death, I stood near the door of his room. 1 stood near the door of his room where he expired. I saw the glorious light of matchless genius, whose splendors have illuminated the world, and for half a century lighted the pathway of free dom and constitutional liberty, extinguished by death and go out in the rayless night of ■ the grave ! From a faithful one, who stood , at his bedside when ho breathed his last, I re- j eeived Mr. Clay's last dying words, and the minute particulars of his death scene, and j within Jive minutes after his decease I wrote them down, and also his opinions and sonti meuts expressed a few days before respecting j the nomination of Gen. f>cott by tlie Whig National Convention, and I transmitted the j facts thus written down exactly as they trans pired to my personal knowledge to the New Orleans Bee, in which they were published. After the close of the Whig National Con vention, of which I had the honor to be a member, 1 returned to my lodging at tlie Na tional Hotel, at Washington, and immediately sought and obtained Mr. Clay's opinion of the j nominees and doings of the Convention. In j his characteristic frank and truthful manner ! lie expressed his entire acquiescence in the wis dom and choice of the Convention . in the selec tion of Scott and Graham as tlie standard bearers of that glorious Whig and Union banner, upon which'liis patriot eyes were now " turned to view for the last time," as it flaunted proudly in the auspicious breeze of favoring Heaven. IJis dying eyes saw em blazoned on its radiant folds, as it floated j over the glorious Union for whose preserva- j tion he had, by his last matchless eiForts upon the compromise, sacrificed his life, the names of two tried ami faithful vchigs, who had from \ the beginning and throughout the compromise j struggle, stood firmly by bis side nor " fal tered (.nee to meet the blast when hardest it beset them." In General Scott's devotion to I the Union and the Compromise, Clay ex pressed implicit and unshaken confidence, aud in his integrity to the whig principles j and the great National Whig cause. After thus expressing his entire acquiescence in the wisdom, and his satisfaction in tlie choice of j the Whig National Convention, Mr. Clay sent, by a member of the Kentucky delega tion who was present, his cordial wishes to Gen. Seott for his success in the Presidential canvass. Such were Mr. Clay's expressed opinions and sentiments respecting the nomination of Gen. Seott, and " if' he were now living he would vote" for his old tried friends and com patriots, Winfield Scott and William A. Gra ham, and not, as the Argus asserts, for ''Pierce and King." The voice of Henry Clay comes up from his new made grave in favor of Scott and Graham as Union Whigs. Though he is dead, his living spirit calls upon every Whig in the land to sustain the Whig nominees and the Whig cause—the cause of constitutional liberty and of our glorious Union. J. G. SEVIER, of Louisiana. From the London (British) Time.*. The triumph of the candidate of the Demo cratic party, brought forward by the men of the South, will seen re, probably Jo recce, the as cendency of Liberal commercial principle* ; and if Lord Derby should next year be dis posed to take the American tariff' for his model, we have little doubt that it will serve to remove the last illusions of the protective system from his mind. In this respect, and on tliis point, we take Gen. Pierce to he a fair representative of the opinions of Mr. Calhoun, and, as such. A VALUABLE PRACTICAL ALLY TO THE COMMER CIAL POLICY OF THIS COUNTRY. From the Manchester (British) Examiner. The <lection of (Jen. Pierce will at any rale prove that the Democratic majority, whatever may he their other differences, are unanimous in their testimony on behalf of a liberal com mercial policy, and any government he may form will !.• one on which THIS COUNTRY MAY RELY FOR EFFECTUAL CO-OPER ATION in reducing wherever practicable, existing impediments to international inter course. From the Liverpool European Times. " As regards England's public sympathy, it is needless to say, it i.s enlisted on the side of the Democratic candidate. NOT THAT PIERCE IS THE BETTER MAN. FAR OTHERWISE. He is merely ACCEPTED us the nominee of that great party in the Union WllO DESIRE TO PUKM TIIE PR IX UIPLKS OF FREE TRADE TO ITS UT MOST LIMITS."
