Whig Ecorionly—Whig Honesty.
We call upon every -honest, candid
man.to consider the folloWing statement,
which we can Palm by documentary
et;idence..( Ik shows
. .the falsity, the
base and hollow pretenSions of the
Whigs. If they will lie about one
thing, they will haie no scruples to do
it on every occasion, or in reference to'
any matter.
In 1819 the prices of Congress prin
ting were fixo by a joint resolution of
both House/ of Congress, and remained
without change until 1840.
At the Session of 1839-40, there Was
a democratic ,majority in the Rouse.-
- ,
, .demo cratic committee of that session,.
to sihoat_the subject of printing was
referred, recommended a reduction of
prices equivalent to 15 per cent. ; This
reforni . iwas4adopfed, which resulied in
4
a saving of $17,720. .
Two of this committee were whigs,
George Evans, now a Senator from
Maine, and Rice Garland, df Louisiana.
these gentlemen made a minority re-
port recominending a reduction or 25
per cent.—boasted of Whig reform,
economy and retrenchment, and said
that Gales,& Seaton would do the prin
ting 20 per cent. less than former prices.
We will quote theillanguage verbatim:
,‘ The undersigned are , compelled to be
lieve, that the profits on public printing
at this time cannot be less than SEVEN
TY 10 EIGHTY per Gent. ; and making a
deduction of 25 per cent., will still
leave as high a rate of profit as instated,
to be proper by any of the witnesses.".
In the same report is-a communica
tion from Gales Std.Seaton (Whigs) in
the following wards We should be
willing to undertake the execution of
the printing of the House (finding all
materials) at a, reduction of TWENTY
PER. CENT:, from the pricesfixed by the
joint resolution of March 3, 1819."
this Was to be part of the whig re--
form promised in. 1840. We whigs
they said, wanted tosave 25 per cent.,
' the democrats only 15. A whig Con
gress was elected and met. Thomas
Allen and Gales & Seaton were elected
printers at prices 20 per cent. -less than
those established by the joint resolution
of 1819. .Thus a saving was made. of
5 per cent. by the whigs over the De
mocrats. But now sea the fraud, the
gross and palpable imposition. On the
2d day of March, 1843, an apOropria
lion bill was under cotoideratiou,swheu
Mr. Woodbridge made a motion to
' amend by inserting the fallowing:—
Provided, 4. That nothing in any reso
lution of either HenseolCongress shall
prevent the settlement and payment of
the bills for the.; ivo Bowles of Congress
agreeably to the prices established by
the sorsa' Itzsourrinz Muck 3d,

•Senate 'Oncost., page 271, This aims
Mr. Evans who said the profits of the
printing under,the resolution of 1819;
waslO to 80 Per cent. and ought to be
reduced 25 per cent., voted in the atEr
cuative, as Aid also, every whip, and

Instead of saving 50,000 as they might',
they voted to give it to' th4rinters.—
il should be borne in mind that .this
vote was taken only two days before
the Whig Congress adjourned and bad re
lation to the printing which commenced
in 1841,

OMINATIONS.
GEN. MARKLE 9 8POPULARITY.—The
Argus, published in the county where
Gen. Markle resides, has in it an article
on his popularity fiom which we
make the following extract. It seems
that Gen. Markle has several times
been before the people•of his own coun
ty for their suffragis, but without suc
cess. •'On one occasion lid rim far be
hind Joseph Itlyier, ad never has yet
got a majority in his own township.
We will give the Intelligencer
something snore to explain about Mar
kle's popularity. Gen. Markle ran in
in 1820 or 1821 on the •federal ticket
for assembly, 44 ran behind Mr. Cool
whn was on the same ticket, both in
the county, and in. his (larkle's) own
township'. It in the faie of this fact,
and•elso of the fact thatin - 1838 Gen.
Markle was beaten by Mr. Marchand
2500 in the county, and some 60 or 70
in his (Markle's) own township, and
ran behind Mr. Coulter and Mr: Gra
barn who were on the same ticket on
both occasions—if in the face of these
recta, the Whigs can prate any more
about Gen. Markle's popularity, they
will place themselves in the ridiculous
position of the hen that cackles without
having lain an egg.'
ACCIDENTS.—We extract from the
Wyoming Patrol, the following list of
casualties :—A most shocking accident
happened to a young man named James
Place, in Washington township, on
Thursday the° '2Bth' ult. Re was en- -
gaged in a thrashing machine, when by
some means his leg was . caught in the
machinery, and dreadfully mangled
.
as high up as the knee—the bone in
some places being crushed to splinters.
Mi. Fitzpatrick of Tunkhannock
township, vihilst working in a saw-mill
recently, had his ankle dislocated, and
his foot otherwise seriously.injured.
A son of Mr ! Sharp, living about a
mile from this village whilst out with
a patty of boys on Sunday last, fell
from the rocks on the canal, and was
severely injuredbreaking an arm and
a leg. ,A caution to boys not to break
the sabbath.
DARING OUTRAGE.—The Bucks
County lntelligencer says that a color
ed man, known' as Big Black Ben,"
whohad been living there for 10 or 12
years, and who. it is supposed, was
formerly a slave, was recently seized
and carried off, by , a party of men, one
of whom claimed to be his master. r —
The perpetrators of this outrage met
the poor negro in a field, and by force
compelled him to get into a carriage,
when they drove drove off, and have
not since been heard of. These officers
(whether pretendedrir not,) showed no
paper or authority, but seized the old
man abruptly and riotously.
A PaizE.-4 old building,; about to
be pulled down, in the Bowery, New.
York, was sold fois3o to two Irishmen
on condition they removed - it. They
went to work at it, and tearing open

which on examination proved to be a
money jug, containing $9,000 in old
coin, it is said. • .

cessity of a national link. Go into
-Wall street, in Nei York, where
British capital is that abundant, and
you will find the strongest opponents
of a bank, because its exisience would
jeopard their interests. The large em
poriums of the North did not want a
bank. but it was wanted by • the South
and West. If rzchangee were , new ID
a good condition, experience had shown
that. they would not' continue so. If
the State banks now paid specie, faits
had 'shown that, with a revival of pros
perity:Abe Inflation of paper"eurrency
would recommence, because there was
no national regulator tcrelieck , these
spurious issues. The State banks, as
we- all; were -also powerless to furnish
a national currency with which a citi
zen of this great country can travel from
one end of it ,to the other. The prat=
tice of the mileil'etilightened European
governments hai shosin that a nitional
currency was necessary, the national
goVernment could! alone 'ordain- it, and
it was just as important to the national
interests to have it, as it was to regulate
commerce, to provide a navy' or an
army."
Trope cOUNTE. N. Y.—The. unhap
py division which has existed for some
time amongst the democratic party in our
neighboring county of Tioga, N. Y. we
are happy to say has been overcome, and.
the causes of the difficulty removed. A
meeting' was held at Owego on the 2d
inst., at which the Hon. STEPHEN
&mos°, presided, the proceedings i. of
which display the utmost harmony and a
spirit of mutual concession. The meet
ing was addreised by the chairman and
the Hon. S.B. I,eonard, G. 0. Chase,
John J. Taylor, and. Thos. Pearsall, late
of Alabama. Resolutions were, passed.
in favor of VAN BUREN and JOHNSON.

AFFRAY IN WILKESBARRE.—On Sun
