Sutler, OF KENTUCKY JET PRESIDENTIAL EJECTION on TUESDAY tbe 7th day of No vember. Democratic Head-Quarters. Our friends in the country districts are notified, that.the hotel of CHRISTIAN SHERTZ in this city has been selected as the Democratic Head- Quarters on the night of the Presidential election. Democrats bringing the returns are requested to report at that place. ID* Democrats may supply themselves with CASS and BUTLER Electoral Tickets, by calling on WILLIAM MATHIOT, Esq., the Chairman of the Democratic County Committee. To Naturalized Voters. By all means take your “ papers' 1 with you to the polls. Every effort will be made to prevent naturalized, voters from voting. TO tbe PoUs! to tbe Polls!! People of Pennsylvania! ■ ON TUESDAY NEXT, THE SEVENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER we have *to discharge the high and responsible duty of recording our votes for a President and \ r v.e President of the United States. As we value our glorious Union—our venerated Constitution, and the rights and privileges they se cure to us—our gratitude tojhe God of our fathers, who is the King of Nations, and has distinguished us above all the nations,of : the earth through the instrumentality of Democratic Administrations, so will we discharge that high and solemn duty to our country. TO THE POLLS! Democrats, let us rally, every man of us, at the polls and vote for men who have the honesty to speak cOut like freemen, whose opinions are know n and read by all men, and who will be the servants and not the masters of the people. . Let us vote for Cass and Butler, because they have been long Tried, and proved faith*. : competent and honest. From ‘the days of Jefferson's Administration, down to this moment they have ever been found in the Democratic ranks. Ji. p. aa. ,t:..l in war they have stood forth the noble champions of the rights of the people and their country's honor. They have no affinity with Blue-light Federalism, Mexi can Sympathisers, Abolitionism or any other abom ination of Whiggery. DEMOCRATS:BE AT THE POLLS! Rain on shine, be at thk Polls! The old Coons of ! 44 have only lost their tails, and are playing'possum. They love rainy weather. If the 7th of November piuvesa rainy day, turn put and catch them ! Rain or shine, keep an eye upon the old dissemblers. COME TO THE POLLS! ye honest and hardy patriots, who scorn the tricks of Whiggery, and meet, and confound the motley band, that, in the name of “ Rough and Ready," would cheat us out of the dearest rights of freemen. Scout with scorn and contempt, the well-known petty hacks of Whig gery that infe«t the polls, and urge upon you their “ no-partv" ticket. They smile but to_.decßive^-r Friends of the Union! Friendsof Liberty! all who prefer republican government to a sort of military and abolition oligarchy! All who love honesty and open dealing! come to the polls and rescue General Taylor from the cruel hands of pre tended friends. The Mexican sympathisers wished him a hos pitable and bloody grave'' in Mexico, and now these same men would award him a bloody crown at home, that he may take off the heads of his coun trymen who dared to maintain the honor of their own country against Mexican aggression. As the true friends of Taylor, and truer friends of our jcountrv, let us rally, with Generals Shields, Davis, Quitmax, Persifeh Smith, and a host of other brave volunteers, at the pplls, and save Taylor from disgrace, or.u our country from ruin, by giving our suffrages to CASS and BUTLER ! TO THE- POLLS! 'Fhat we may tell to our children and our chil dren's children, that on the 7th day of November, 1543, we fought and won for them a more glorious battle than was ever won by military chieftain; that we preserved the Constitution and saved our country from an oligarchy of military despots and fanatical abolitionism. TO THE POLLS! TO THE POLLS! r We have to contend against principalities and powers and political wickedness—against enemies abroad and enemies at home—enemies at home, who would strike the main prop of our liberties from the Constitution; enemies abroad, the crowned heads of Europe and their minions who would re joice to see our glorious Republic go down in mili tary despotism. Freemen! to the polle ! to the polls—the Ith of No vember, to the polls ! 7UI of November! Democrats of Pennsylvania Remember! . That on TUESDAY, 7th of November, you >are to exercise the independent right of Freemen. Shoulder to shoulder with the Democracy of twenty-nine other States, you will declare your • preference for Cass and Butler. i - If you desire Pennsylvania to be as in 1844, •right side up for a Democratic President, vote your full Electoral ticket of twenty-six names. Let not a Democrat be absent from the Polls on TUESDAY, - 7th of November, and bear in mind that the polls •will be kept open only ONE DAY. Vote early, and let the day be devoted to your country! * . 4 Richard V aux, Esq. The Democracy of Lancaster owe a debt of gratitude to this able and efficient champion of r thnr^cause for his well-timed services in their be half. His speech on Thursday e vening in the Court House, and that to the Democrats of Columbia, on the following evening, were certainly among the most masterly efforts which the present campaign has elicited. , Died. —The servant-girl, Elizabeth Myers, |jvho was so awfully injured by the explosion of ;S luid, died on Friday evening, suffering for an entire •veek most intensely. The deceased was a native . of Dauphin county, and was much beloved by all “ier acquaintances. The unfortunate sufferer re ceived every possible degree of care and attention rom the afflicted family of Mr. Baumgardner. Seldom has any event produced such a general entiment of sympathy in our city. ID* Are you organized? Are you at Work! jAre you taking measures to get out every voter in ®our town on the 7th of November? Let the . )emocratsof every town ask themselves these ques ons; and if they cannot answer them in the affir- lative, let them go to work at once autLprepare L>r the election. There is ample time to do it, if ’ery working Democrat will take hold of the matter H no. To the work then, Democrats ! Sustain \ )ur ascendency now, and you are safe for the next liur-years. Tbe Watcbfire^Barnlnff! A glorious meeting of the of this city was held in the Court-House, on last Thursday evening, at which Robert Moderw ell, Esq. pre sided, assisted by numerous TicePresident* and: Secretaries. The meeting was addressed by E. W. Hutteb, who was followed in an eloquent speech by Col. Riah Frazer. Before the latter gentle man had concluded, the Eastern train of cars ar-; rived, bringing the Hon. Richard Vaux of Phila delphia, who for nearly two hours enchained the attention of a crowded and deeply interested audi tory. Mr. Vaux is one of tho most popular and effective public speakers in the State. The meet ing was graced by the presence of Hon. JeeEhiah S. Black of Somerset, and Hon. Arnold Plumeb, the State Treasurer, who attended as spectators. An enthusiastic Rally of the Democrats of Col umbia borough took place on Friday evening. A delegation, over 100 strong, attended from the city of Lancaster. Samuel Brooks, Esq. presided. Vice Presidents: Dr. A. Bitner, Andrew Leader, J. Boon, George W. M : Elroy, Capt. J. H. Duchman, H. Haldeman, A. Heisinger, L. Whissler, jr.,Reuben Mullison, Joseph Tyson. Secretaries:.. Dr; J. J. Given, William Brown. The meeting was addressed with great power and eloquence by Hon. Richard Vaux of Philadelphia. Mr. -V. was followed by E. W. Hutter, and an animated speech was de livered in conclusion by Washington Baker, Esq. of this city. The Democrats of Columbia: are in excellent spirits. They did well before, but promise ; to do even v better" in November. A large and enthusiastic meeting of Democrats was held on Saturday last, at the house of Michael Roland, in Mechanicsville, Upper Leacock town ship. It was organised by the appointment of the following officers: President —MOOßE CONNELL, Esq. Fire Presidents —Dr. J. C. Weidler, Dr. A; S.Bare, Maik Connell, jr, Jacob Holl, William Weidman. Robert Connell, Peter Heller, John Graham, Jonas Eby, Samuel Holl, Isaac B. Weidler, John Simmons, William Ray, Geo.

Marks, Samuel Miller, Samuel Yandersall, Martin Vandeback, Jacob Simmons, Jacob Buscr, sen., Washington Simmons, Jonathan Simmons, Samuel Tassig, John Forney, Henry Imhoffi Secretaries —Tristram Connell, Isaac Girvin, Isaa c Dunlap, Henry Trout, Henry Stauffer, John C. Mil der. Hiram R. Holl, Andrew Black, B. Franklin Holl, Martin Felies, Jacob Bard, Jacob R. Garber. Speeches \vere*delivered by Col. Reah’ E. W. Hotter, Washington Baker and George W. M F.luot of the city of Lancaster. Coercing Voters. We have heard it intimated that several employ ers —even in our own city, had resorted to coercion at the late election, to secure the votes of the Dem ocrats in their service, tor the Federal candidates; and that the same game would be attempted at tbe coming election. This is a system that no respect able man should be guilty of. It is placing the laboring men of Pennsylvania, who submit to it, in a position as humiliating as the slaves of South Carolina, and illy becomes men who resort to it to inveigh Southern Institutions. Our ..election laws wisely make provision for securing the voters of Pennsylvania—no matter how humble—in the free exercise of the inestimable right of suffrage, and punishing all who dare to interfere with that right by any improper means. The following is the section of the election law jelerred to Section 123. If any person shall give or bestow any such gift or reward, in order to. procure any person to be elected, or shall promise or attempt, either directly or indirectly, to confer any such gift or reward for such purpose, or shall attempt or endeavor to influence any voter by any offer or promise of, any appointment employment or pecu pcnnrmcnT femptoyment or pecuniary: ocnent ne shall, on conviction, be fined in a sum not leas than one hundred dollars, nor exceeding one thou sand dollars'; and suffer imprisonment not less than one, nor more than twelve months. Now we are perfectly williag to let “ by-gones be by-gones,'* but in the coming election, on the 7th of November, we say to all, “ beware how you tamper with 'the. free right of suffrage." If any of our Democratic friends discover an instance in this county, where Federal Employers undertake to COERCE their hands into the support of the Fed eral candidates, we hopa they will let us know it. ALL SUCH OFFENDERS WILL BE PROSE CUTED TOTHF. FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW! Democrats! are you Ready!! Are our Democratic friends ready for the conflict? The day for discussion—for Jong articles in defence of our principles and candidates, has nearly passed. The public mind is nearly made up. But compa ratively little change can now be expected to take place. ACTION! ACTION!! is now the impor tant element in our success. Let us be up and doing—let us organize—appoint committees—as certain our voters, and take suitable steps to get them to the polls on the 7th of November. Have all these things been attended to ? Are our friends active? -.Are they organizing? - Have .they ap pointed their committees of Vigilance? If they have not, it is high rime they had. But ONE WEEK more, and the election is upon us. If we will only get out our full vote, all will be right— Pennsylvania will still Stand firm, and : that too by a majority that will sound the death-knell of Whig gery in her limits for years to come. AWAKE! then. Democrats, AWAKE!! and prepare to accom plish a result so important, and which will be a source of just pride to every Democrat in the State and in the Union. Look out for a Storm.— lt has been suggested that if a severe storm or any kind of “ bad weath er should blow on the day of election, measures ought to be taken by the Cass men in every township in the State to provide comfortable con veyances for all their voters who cannot conveni ently get to the election without Whether it rains or shines, they should provide ways for all the aged and infirm, and those who live far from the polls and have no conveyance of their own. Re member THIS AND BE PRF.PARED IN TIME! “We must have Pennsylvania!” So says Truman Smith, fugleman general of Taylor Federalism. “We must have Pennsylvania!” “No doubt,’' says the Boston Post , “ Truman Smith feels as he says when he writes that the whigs need Pennsylvania .to make them successful. The coun try also needs it—the Union needs it—the party of justice, patriotism, and equality needs it— the peo ple need it to enable them to prostrate the intrigues of unscrupulous politicians and crush the abhorrent doctrine of availability, Pennsylvania! shall they have it ?” If the whigs must have Pennsylvania, why then, they must, and “ there's the end on't" Let them take it—lF THEY CAN! Don’t Forget, Tariff Men! That while the Whigs profess to be the exclusive friends of protection, the last subject they touched when the extra or hundred days’ Congress, called by Harmsox, was in session, was the Tariff ques tion although the Compromise Act of Mr. Clay was crushing our manufactures to the earth. And, further, that the last House of Representa tives, (Whig,) laid a resblution inquiring into the expediency of repealing the Tariff of 1846 upon the table! ’ And, further, that a resolution in favor of pro tection was laid upon the table by the Whig Con vention that nominated Tateoh. To BE (LUALIFIED TO DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OP PuEStDENT OF THE U.MTEI) 'STATES) THE XNCUM BEHT MUST POSSESS MORE THAN MERE MILITART attainments— HE MUST BE A STATESMAN. So toys Henry Clay.

We have no doubt the true majority for Canal Commissioner will be some what larger than above reported. Butler and Jackson. In William O. Butler's speech in Congress, in favor of refunding the fine imposed upon General Jackson, he made the .following reference to the Old Hero: Had Gen. Jackson retired to private life at the close of his military career—had he but worn meekly those honors which he won proudly, he might have gone down the vale of years followed by the prayers and blessings of all; his laurels growing fresher and greener at every step of his pilgrimage, until standing, as he now does, on the brinic of the grave, they would have caught a bright reflection of the world beyond it. This bill would then have passed on its merits, and passed by accla : mation. But, sir, he dared to do otherwise. He dared throw his tall, straight shadow across the bination, trick, and jugglery by which a Federal dynasty was foisted upon a free country. He dared appeal—and appeal successfully—from the people's servants to the people themselves. And. above all, sir, he dared strike to dust a corrupt moneyed mo nopoly, alike essential in every age and country to the existence of such a dynasty. This, sir, is the trorft of his offending—this has arrayed party ven geance against this bill. Whenever a democrat" is called upon to vote against the democratic candidates, let him remem ber that the best friend ol Cass and Butler was General Jackson. The Duty of Voting, We commend to the attention of a certain class among our voters, the following remarks on the DUJ t of voting, by President Wayi.anij, author of “Political Economy, and “Moral Science.” They are, we know, able to decide moral questions for themselves, and no doubt their opinion will co incide with that of Wayland, but their attention may not have been particularly turned to this point: “1 think that every Christian citizen is under obligation to vote in every case where a public offi cer is to be chosen. The happiness and virtue of the community, no less than the security ol prop erty, depend greatly on the character of the mag istracy. If lam injured in person or property by a wicked public officer, I have a right to complain of my fellow-citizens who gave him authority over me, or who, when it was in their power, did not prevent his election. A Christian in this country, above all others, has a duty to perform in this mat ter, and he disobeys the commandment in the text if he does not perform it.” Immense Democratic Rally in In, dependence Square, Plillad’a. “ What though the field be lost? All is not lost: th’ unconquerable will, And study of-revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield, And what is else—not to be overcome The greatest meeting held in Philadelphia since the beginning of the present campaign, took place in Independence Square on Monday evening. The numbers in attendance were estimated at twenty thousand. The Spirit of the Times gives a glowing account of the tremendous gathering, and, among other things, says: “ It. was really a niost exhilerating sight to every true Democrat present. It was just the kind of meeting we expected and hoped. The right kind of spirit was there. Instead of being dejected by the small triumph which Whiggery and its amal gamated forces have been enabled to achieve, the strong determination was visible on the faces and hearts of all present to redeem the Keystone State from the disgrace of such a victory. Our friends need notfear the result of the 7th of November next. Ihe Ball was put in motion last night, and will sweep over this country, crushing all the many colored opposing parties that may raise their heads. The county of Philadelphia, at least, will be res cued from the Philistines, and the good old Demo cratic banner, that has so long waved victoriously over the battlements, will again be placed in tri umph upon the topmost tower. Let the rest of Pennsylvania do as we do, or will do. and Cass and Butler will carry the State by thousands.'’ Character of Taylorism. If the Hon. John Minor Botts has formed a cor rect.opinion of Taylorism, (and who can doubt that he has, good and true Whig as he has always been ?) then we do not see how any good, upright and conscientious citizen in any State, can cast his ballot for the Taylor electoral ticket. Just hear Mr. Botts: “ 1 Wl 'l not yield to “ Taylorism,'’ which is more RUTHLESS AND PROSCRIPTIVE than Jackson lsm ever was ; Jacksonism only proscribes its ene mies; Taylorism proscribes its friends; Jack souism proscribed those who did not subscribe to the principles it avowed; Taylorism proscribes those who adhere most rigidly to them; Jacksenism proscribed those who left them; Taylorism pro scribes those whom they have left; Jacksonism suffered a man to think for himself if he voted right- Taylorism requires one not only to vote, but to think and speak with them, and for them.” A Word from Corwin. Tom writes to a Taylor editor under date of the 13th instant: “Prospects look dismal enough in Ohio, judging by the returns now in hand.” What else could the Mexican expect? WTI I'IILLS! Mll POLLS!!

That time must be usefully employed. Every ward, district, and township in the. State should have its committee, to class the voters, and bring out every Democrat TO THE POLLS.

To examine well and see that the Ballot Box is empty when the voting com 1 - By no means suffer yourself to neglect this. There is more in it than strikes the eye at first sight. Uhe most outrageous frauds will undoubtedly be committed upon the ballot boxes this year by the Federalists, unless they are closely watched. Again we caution and entreat you to see to this thing at each place of voting. Look out for the Federalists, who have grown furious, and will resort to any means to accomplish their ends. .COUNT THE \OTES ! Do this as soon as the Polls are closed. Insist that this be done, and with open doors, in every instance. Remember, freemen, that the ballot box is your only hope. It is there where your liberties will be preserved or lost. If you suffer suffer fraud to creep into the ballot box at this trying crisis in our history, when the money is arrayed in open rebellion against its laws, in open warfare against the people—you will sopn fed the chains of despotism clanking upon your limbs—your boasted liberties will soon take to themselves wings, and fly away. These heaven-bought privileges were purchased by the blood of your lathers, — you hold them only upon the tenure of ETERNAL VIGILANCE. * ' J PRESER\E THE. BALLOT BOXES!

Tlie way they dill it. Some idea of the manner in which the Federal ists carried the late election in this State, may be gleaned lrom some facts related to u£ a day or two since, by a friend of most reliable character. He says that on the election day. several of the dflicers iof the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, in our sister county' of Carbon, were seen leading whole squads of workmen employed by the Com pany, up to the polls, with tickets in their hands) and almost compelled these poor laborers to deposit just such tickets as their lordships chose to select for them. Not content with creating a political panic, by the suspension of their works a few days before the election, these petty tyrants, (or rather, as Mike Walsh would call them—these Cod-fish aristocrats) must needs watch the polls with eagle eyes, and lest a poor man should Follow the bent of his own inclination and vote for a Democrat, he must be led up to the polls, like cattle to the slaughter! What a commentary upon the freedom of the Nineteenth century! And what a beautiful illus tration of Federal love for the poor man and the unrestricted right of suffrage. Poor men, citizens of Lehigh,' Carbon, Bucks Northampton and Monroe, we ask you to look at these things, and say whether you can ever vote with a party whose leaders thus insult you—who would add the pangs of slavery to those of poverty, and who would thus deprive you of the free exer cise of the most inestimable right of freemen ? “ Place a whip in every honest hand To whip rascals naked through the world.” Let every Democrat remember that we have a Democratic majority of 4,536 on the Congres sional vbte—that we have a majority for the Dem ocratic Canal Commissioner of 2,T00 5 that we have a Democratic majority on the Legislative ticket of about 2,000, and that we have carried forty counties in the State, while the Federal coalition of . Whigs, Natives and Abolitionists have carrried but twenty counties. Let, therefore, every Democratic voter come put and the. State is safe for CASS and BUTLER by thousands For President: OF MICHIGAN.

Senator from Ala bama. died yesterday, at the National Hotel, after an illness of nearly a fortnight. We learn from a sketch of his lile which has been handed us by a friend, that Col. Lewis was a native of Dinwiddle county, Va., and of English or Welsh descent on his father's side. While he was quite young, his family emigrated to Georgia. He entered South Carolina College, where he graduated with honor, and entered upon the study of law When he was . ready to practice, he removed to Alabama, and there rose rapidly into distinction first as a lawyer, theii a member of the State Leg islature, and afterwards Representative of Congress. His career as a Senator.- is well known. He was Chairman of the Finance Committee in 18-10, and reported the existing Tariff Col. Lewis was a staunch adherent to the Democralic party through out his life. In all the relations of private life, Col. Lewis was exemplary qnd highly esteemed. His death will be felt as a serious loss, not only by his family and friends, but by his State and throughout the country. The Common Council took suitable steps in re gard to his death. Too Pant. “ Pennsylvania has elected Zachary Taylor Pres ident of the United States—nothing now remains but to fulfil the forms of an election on the 7th day of November.”— North .tmerican. ’ In reply to this, the Republic, Dr. Elder's new Free Soil paper in Philadelphia, makes the follow ing remark: , A little too fast, neighbor ! A victory for Wm. F. Johnston, an avowed friend of Free Soil, is not exactly the same thing as a victory for Old Zack, the hero of an unconstitutional and atrocious war, the Louisiana planter and the owner of three hun dred slaves. Johnston received the votes of thou sands who would sooner submit to martyrdom than bestow their suffrages upon a warrior and a slaveholder. The Free Soil party, whieh, for very satisfactory reasons did not-enter into the State canvass, will be found in the field on the 7th of November." A.. Noble Letter. We publish, to day, the frank, manly and admi rable appeal j of ouf worthy and estimable candi date for (Governor, Morris Longstreth, toithe De mocracy of {Pennsylvania, for an united effort in favor of our (candidates and principles in November next We knew him to be a free-hearted, self sacrificing patriot, ahcLlKisexcellent, but brief letter is the Best evidence of the correctness of our judg ment. Returning from his official duties in the West. Judge Longstreth was prostrated by a severe and dangerous illness,' from wltich he has been slowly recovering, and we are happy to say is now con valescent. The first act of returning health is to call on the Democracy to prepare for a new and severe contest, to be attended by a glorious victory, if we are only true to ourselves. 5 Let all Democrats follow the example, and re spond to the patriotic call of Morris Longstreth. and we can then assure all our fellow Republicans ot this and other States, that Pennsylvania is safe by a cllar and triumphant majority for the regular candidates of the party, Gen. Lewis Cass and Gem William 0. Butler. To the Democratic party of Pennsylvania The result ot the election of the 10th of Octo ber has been the apparent defeat of the Democratic candidate for Governor, and the triumph! of your opponents,; marshalled under every name and shade of opinion, and agreeing only in their hostility to Democratic principles. Their reported majority for Governor, is, however, very small; and wc have succeeding in electing our excellent candidate for Canal Commissioner. Under these circumstances, there is every induce ment to rally upon our candidates lor President and. Vice President, Lewis Cass and William 0. Butler, whose principles are known, and whose election will confer honor*upon the Union. The untiring efforts of every Democrat should be directed to secure this result, as our opponents, flushed with ephemeral success; are using every exertion against us. With my heartfelt thanks for the flattering vote of the true Democracy of Pennsylvania in my favor, I hope I may, without presumption, call upon every personal and political friend ta4oin in an united effort for a glorious Republicapr triumph on the 7th of November. \ / MORRIS LONGSTRETH. ' October 20, IS IS. A GR IPE SHOT, From a Southern Taylor Whig Battery into Norn era Jhtii-Slavcry Whiggery. Johx McPhetisox BEaniEV, of Georgia, as one of the leading Whigs of the South, hi re ply to an invitation to attend a Barbecue recently given in that State, he sent a letter from which we following extract: “I ask you to make known to our fellow-citizens who will be assembled on the UOth instant, the jea son why I am not with them, not so much as to explain my absence, for that is comparatively un important, as to enable me through the proper organs of the meeting to say to them how deeply I feel it to be, that we should work with “ might and main” in the present canvass—that I - consider it as the most important Presidential election. ESPECIALLY TO SOUTHERN MEN, which has occurred since the foundation of the Government. WE have great and important interests at stake —if WE fail to sustain them now. WE may be lorced too soon to decide whether WE will remain in the Union at the mercy of a band of fanatics or political reluctantly retire it for the preservation of our domestic institutions, and all our rights as freemen. If WE are united, WE can sustain them—if WE divide -on the old party issues, WE must be victims. With a heart devoted to their interests on this great question, (Wilrnot Proviso) and without re spect to party, I implore my fellow-citizens of Georgia, Whig or Democrat, to forget for a time their party divisions—to know each other only AS SOUTHERN MEN—to act upon the truism uttered by Mr. Calhoun, that on the vital question—the preservation of our domestic institutions, the South ern man who is farther from us, is nearer us than any Northern man can be"—that Gen. TAYLOR IS IDENTIFIED WITH US IN FEELING AND INTEREST—was born in a slaveholding State— constitutes the means of support to himself and family—that HE CANNOT DESERT US, with out sacrificing his interest, his principles, the habits and feelings of his life—and that WITH HIM, THEREFORE, OUR INSTITUTIONS WILL BE SAFE. I beseech them, therefore, from the love which they bear to our noble State, to rally under the banner of Zachary Taylor, and with one uni ted voice to send him by aclamation to the Execu tive chair. Respectfully, your fellow-citizen, j. McPherson berßien. Mr. J. H. CuniSTr. There, reader, you have the sentiments of a great Southern Whig, the opinion of a leading Southern Politician and slavery extension advocate, as to Gen. Taylor's views, feelings and position on the question of slavery extension. Who is most likely to be correct, Mr. Berrien, or Gov. Johnston and other stump speakers of this region, who are try ing to induce you to believe, against all evidence, that Gen. Taylor is deserving of the support 01, and may be trusted by, anti-slavery voters' The way they do it. An intelligent gentleman from one of the interior counties, writes us that the Federal clerk of the Court in his county, upon application of a manu facturer, furnished a man with a certified copy, under the seal of the Court, of his declaration. The manufacturer and clerk both knew that the person to whom they gave the certificate was not entitled to vote, but indulging the hope that their fraud would not he detected, did not hesitate at so shame ful an attempt to corrupt the ballot-box. These and their like are the men that charge fraud upon the Democratic party. Cass at Home. We now say to our Democratic friends in other States, says the last Detroit Free Press, that Michi gan will give her vote to Cash and Butler by at least FIVE THOUSAND over the whig ticket. The county of Wayne, in which Gen. Cass lives, will increase her usual majority full 200. The citv of Detroit, the residence of Gen. Cass, will give him an increased vote, and a majority of 200. Let what we say be recollected, and placed to our credit, if we speak truly—if not, let it be charged that we did not speak correctly. Old Berks—Sound. The slight falling off at the late election, from the usual Democratic majority in this sterling Old County, has only had a tendency to her sturdy sons for the contest in November, and make them more than ever determined to wipe away this blot upon her democratic escutcheon. ’ Indeed, an intelligent young Democrat from that county, whom we met here a day or two since, assured us that on the 7th November, they would roll up a majority of not less than Jive thousand five hundred for CASS AND BUTLER. Taylor at Home.' The N. O. Courier gives the strongest assurances that Louisiana is safe for Cass and Bctlt.r. That paper says “ A few there may be,- whose personal acquain tance with, and regard for Gen. Taylor, may render them indifferent to party obligations. These are, however, known to be few and far between. It is certainly not very flattering to his personal influence to know', that in the neighborhood where he resides , his political opponents out-number his political friends near tiro to one:' From the Easton Argus. Uou. John Banks! This gentleman, the former President Judge of this district—the Federal candidate for Governor in 1841—and the late Federal State Treasurer—RE FUSES TO SUPPORT GEN. TAYLOR, AND WILL NOT GIVE HIM HIS SUPPORT! We have this from good authority. ID" An Ohio paper contains calls for 80 Demo cratic meetings in the Buckeye State, to be ad dressed by Senator Axxek, Col. Welles arid other Democrats.! The Tariff—Facts. The Whigs always become remarkably Tariffisli about election times.. They then can see nothing but ruin ahead,—ruin which tan only be prevented 'by electioneering-Whig candidates! They have jdayed this game so often, that all intelligent, re flecting citizens—Whigs and Democrats—regard it as .humbug. . ! A few facts will dispel most of the trash wliich whig presses and stumpers are attempting to pass upon the people, in relation to this subject: 1. It is a feet, that the cry of depression of bus iness. stoppage oi works, kc. has become part of the federal whig system of electioneering. It is a fact, that -since the passage of the larifl' of 'to. as much capital has been invested in the lrotPaml other manufacturing business in this country, as was ever invested during the same time under the Tariff of MG, than under that of M 2. J. It is a fact, that the balance of trade so far as regards the imports and exports of Spcdr. has been greater iu our favor under the Tariff of MG, than under that of 'l2. -1. It is a fact, that labor has been as abundant and at as good wages, under the tariff of MG, as under the tariff of M 2. o. It is a fact, that the present depression iu the Iron and Coal business, which political speculators are.endeavoring to pervert to party, purposes, by falsehood and misrepresentation, is owing to orev proih'ition here at home, during the year -17-s rather than to foreign importation—as can be sub stantiated by the most conclusive evidence. G. It is a fact that the Iron capitalists of Pin*, nixville, who are now. for party effect, uttering gloomy foreboidings as to the future, design to-in vest more capital in the erection of new works at that place, in the coming year—whether ('ass or Taylor be elected. 7. It is a fact, that the occasional failures which have taken place among manufactures, under the Tariff* of Mb; are the result, not of that Tariff! hut of mismanagement, unfortunate credits, or the !e -; gititnate operations of trade, and are of less fre quency, less amount, and less destructive in : their consequences upon others, than those which have occurred under the favorite Whig measures of a high Tariff and U. S^Bnnk. S. It is a fact, that the Whig argument of ma king a home market for our farmers, by building up manufactories sufficient to employ hands to con sume all the surplus- agricultural produce of our country, is altogether visionary and impracticable, but if worth anything,, it proves that a high Tariff' is unnecessary, because that state of manufactures here, which would consume all our agricultural produce, would produce manufactures sufficient for the whole world, and throw our manufactures into competition in foreign markets, with the pauper labor of Europe! They are not satisfied with the. home market here, protected*!})’ the duties of 20 to 30 per cent, ami a distance of 300 u miles for their competitors, and yet profess to desire a state of things which would send them to markets 3000 miles distant, encumbered \vi‘h duties and other expenses. 0. It is a fact, that the fanners of America have a deep interest in. and should seek to sustain that line of national policy which opens to them the widest market for their produce. They know that, the Democrats favor, while the federal Whigs op- pose that policy. JO. It is a fapt that the policy wliich benefits our farmers cannot but benefit our mechanics and laboring men. The prosperity of the farmers, gives life to all other'branches of industry—agriculture is the great, by far the greatest and most important interest of our country. Democrats so regard it. 11. IT IS A FACT, THAT THE AVERAGE PRICE OF FARMERS' PRODUCE HAS BEEN —IS NOW—AND PROMISES TO BE—GREAT ER UNDER THE TARIFF OF MG, THAN IT WAS UNDER THE TARIFF OF M 2. xt 1S a I:ic h that every thing which the lar mer, mechanic and working man wears, in the shape of clothing, and his sugar, tea, Joffee, molas ses, &c., have all been cheaper under the Tarflf of ' U>, than under the Tariff of -12. 13. It is a fact that all these facts are very much against federal Whiggery, which advocates the.res toration of the partial Tariff 0f.‘12 and in favor of Democracy, which advocates a Tariff like that of M'h calculated to promote “all the great interests of the country."—JlmcYxcan Republican. From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times. Astounding- Development. A gentleman has just called at our office, who resides in .Schuylkill county, and has given us in formation of the utmost importance in relation to the stupendous frauds which have been perpetrated there by the Federal whigs. It seems that an nffi cud gentleman there, not satisfied with the names already placed upon the Assessor's List within the time proscribed by law, took upon himself the re sponsibility of adding nearly THREE. HUNDRED more, and paying the amount of their assessments after the time had expired that he should do so legally. The fraudulent voters thus manufactured in open violation ol law, amount to nearly the whole of Johnston s majority. The individual who perform ed this crowning act of'Federal villany, experts to be rewarded by an appointment to the office of Flour Inspector in this city. A party that will re sort to such means to carry an election, will be ready to stoop to anything. Let the Vigilance Committees, everywhere, be on their guard. No means will be left untried to carry Pennsylvania for the combined allies of Federalism at : the com- ing election. Democratn Awake. The Money of the Boston Federalists in Pennsylvania. The Democrats of Pennsylvania must be wide awake. The money of the capitalists of the Union is now being sent into their midst to secure the vote of this State for Taylor. We know that twenty thousand dollars from Boston were forward ed to this State to influence the October election, and we know also, that the wealthy Whigs of that city are now raising funds to defeat the voice of the majority of our voters in November. This is a fact which we have from the highest authority and we call upon our friends everywhere to be ad monished of the means which the opposition are resorting to. Money is now being sent by the Whigs into every county in" the to rorrupt the voters- Awake Democrats ! If they attempt to bribe you, expose them! Be prepared for all the machina tions of your wily and desperate toes. We tell you that no effort or expense will be spared to carry Pennsylvania for Tatlor. ‘‘Forewarned, forearmed.” Pennsylvanian. From the Waynesburg Messenger. Crreeue County. In Greene county we have done tolerably wel* though we might have done better. If the remain der of the State, however, had done as well as this county, we would have elected our Governor by a majority' of fifteen or twenty thousand. We„in creased our majority nearly two hundred over that of 1811, and a like increase throughout the State would have elected Longstreth by an overwhelming .. majority. We have the name of being the bes of Democrats in the State, and we deserve it.— Greene county, in ever)' and all contests, may be looked to with certainty, to do her duty. There is no faltering, no dodging, no grumbling tion, no running away with wild excitement, after •strange doctrines or new heresies; but with com mendable devotion, her Democracy are ever found ia the support of true Republican principles. Her increased majority oil the 7th of November, will prove the truth of what we say. Little Greene can and will increase her Democratic vote at the Presidential election. She has the ma terial for more than 1100 Democratic - majority, if they all get to the polls; .and as our sturdy Farm ers will be through their seeding before the election 1 day, we feel like promising this majority for Cass nd Butler. * i
