Before voting, examine every name on your tick et, arid see that there is no fraud practiced upon yam The Democratic ticket:is correctly printed at the head of this column—all others are spuri ous. . "Once more unto the breach, dear friends,' once Since we took charge of this paper, we have, in every number, urged our friends to rally to the supportof the Derriocraric ticket. We have advo• cated, with all the zeal and energy we possess, the election of the. Democratic nominees. We have shewn, we believe, to the satisfaction of every un prejudiced mind, that the Democracy hove a much better ticket than their federal opponents. We have shewn that it is the interest of the whigs even to support our ticket. We, shall now repeat briefly what we have said before, and then make an ap. peal to friends to turn nut to the polls to-mor row, in all their strength. The great contest in this county is for Congress. Cot.. 111'CAzinr.ses, although the Democratic nomi nee, will receive the support of moderate; liberal and intelligent whigs, who always place the inter• este of their country above a blind adherence to party. These men have been the intimate friends and associates of Col. M'Csanzses for thirty years, and they have never known him to deviate from a straig,ht-forward, - upright and honorable course. They never have known him to prove re:reant and treacherous to the interests of the city and county of his nativity. They have never known him to take a cold, heartless and indifferent stand, when the interests and welfare of his fellow-citizens were involved in a question. They have never known %um guilty of an act which the most scrupulous tenseof honor, would disapprove. These men will vote for Col.lll'Casrnizsa to-morrow, because they i wish to have a Representative at Washington of whom their never can be ashamed—a Representa tive who will possess talents and influence, and who will never abandon his post or. neglect the interests of tais constituents. Moszs HsNero; although a lawyer of some talent, Was never designed by nature for the station to which he aspires. If, unfortunately, he should be elected to-morrow, those who vote for him will repent, it, sorely and bitterly repent it, when the heat and excitement of the 41ectionlas pamed by. We hive said it often, ,and repeat it now, that M. fissreroz' is an utter stranOr to the interests, habits, business and wants of the people - of Al.e. gheny-county. The art of making money is the only thing that has ever excited his ambition, and I whenever be secures a fat goose, he leaves but few feathers. We appeal to every intelligent and can did Whig who reads this article ; if he would not ten times rather see Mr. M - Candless in Congress, .than Mr. Hampton? Then, we say, break loose front • the ties of party, and 'resolve to place an Aonest, upright, honorable, talented, whole.souled man in Congress,—a man who will reflect credit' upon the people of this district4a man who will add to the name, fame, glory and honor of good old Pennsylvania. Pal/ie.—pause one moment be fore you prepare your ballot, and seriously reflect up3n the consequences of the act. Do nothing but what - your conscience teaches you is right. . To our Democratic friends we would say, be uni ted—be ch:erful—be vigilant_ / 5e firm The elec. .lion day is at hand, and you should discharge your duty with fidelity and promptitude. Nothing will be lost by neglecting your business for one day. and devoting that day to your country. If your 'business or employment is such as to prevent you from complying with this request, do your duty , and leave the rest to your God. - Upon the success of Democratic principles depends the prosperity and well-being of this great Republic. Our fathers fought and bled in vain, if Liberty—Democratic Republimn Liberty—is out preserved and handed down To their posterity, untarnished by the foul breath of federal despotism. Resolve, democratic reader, to fly to the rescue of our country in the hour of trial—buckle on your armor, and be pre pared to meet the invading foe—the Goth and Van dal, who would destroy the very citadel of Free dom, and leave nothing in its stead but ashes and desolation! Then, cheer up friends! cheer up!— • Your principles a,e pure—you cause is just—and you must and will triumph, in the conflict. March up to the polls to-morrow, in one unbroken pha Lanz. Let there be no diversion--rio disunion—no indifference. Stay not athome, under any pretext, —vote yourself, and see that every neighbor and friend yuu have has voted also A Perfect Failure co. The Gazette has attempted a vindication of `the proceedings of Mr. FORSYTH, (the federal can didate for Sheriff,) while one of our County Com_ rnisioners, in relation to the bridge 'over Jack's Run, byt in doing so, the editor has permitted his -zeal to go so far as to forget the truth entirely. We would have noticed the article which appeared in the Gazette of Thursday, before this, but until Saturday evening we had no opportunity to see a friend who is better acquainted with the facts than Ourself: . We now understand. that the Gazette's statement of the transaction is entirely false. In • theinast place it is not true that the Commissioners entered into a written contract with. Miller& Dick son. Second: It is not true that these gentlemen had agreed to do the work for $2,25 per perch. ritieel: it is not true that Miller & Dickson estinia , I,ed the entire cost of the work at 82,500. Fourth; itiitot true that these events took place three' weeks before Mr. Forsyth's term of office expired. Now, as all the allegations of the Gazette, are un true, the entire article of course falls to the ground, "and will not be sufficient to bolster up the incorn yotency of Mr. Fonarra, Slander Refuted: Bare attempt to injure the Ileratic Candidate for • • • Sheriff!! , . T , 'Etthow . Crnza.vs:—Our opponents, grown desperate frOm the evidence day by day accumula ting, "orthe popularity of the Democratic ticket, and the ilmost certain`triumph of Democratic. principles,-have` resorted to their old means of slandering the "private characters of your candi. dates, cornmenciug_at a tithe - when it is too lite to enable the refutation to follow, before the election should be aver. In pursuance of their-plans, they have witbin a few days past put in circulation, through the columns of a scurrilous and comp"' paper, the Pittsburgh Ga..-ette, charges against your fellow citizen Roar NI -emote, our candidate for Sheriff. He has been charged with infidelity, and a horribly blasphemous toast, published with the ! cowardly and utterly false insinuation that it was given by Mr. Pal-ceases at a " Tom Paine " Sup- per, hake years ago. Had these charges been made at an earlier day, they would have been easily refuted—but at the time of their issue, the space was too short before' the election to enable a regu lar refutation of the charges. It is sufficient to say, fellow citizens, that the charges are all false and slanderous, as a court and jury shall decide, we are authoriied to say, as soon as the facts can be brought before a legal tribunal The charge has been made through the Pitts. burgh Gazette. The editor of that paper has refused to give the name of ,his informant. It is for you to say, whether you will allow the base insinuation of a miscreant, who aims from behind the cover of an anonymous signature, to change your opinion of a man, so long, so favorably, so universally known as Ron: l'As4sitso..s. - - Character is of but littevalue if a man whose whole life has proved him to be as honorable. honest and upright, as he is benevolent and generous --who has been known always as the open-banded friend of the poor, and whose moral reputation is unassailable--can beat. tacked with impunity by slanders and calumny so attrocious. Go to the polls and ‘ote for him, fellow-citizens, and by the vote which he shall re ceive, show to the World the estimation in which you hold the vile defilmers of your old friend. 1 The charge alluded.to was made in the Ga.tene of Friday morning for the first time, although it '++ has been secretly issued with other slanders, fore some weeks past. Cal. Ts oval.° was referred to as I a person who would prove the truth of the publica tion. On Saturday morning, Col. T. answered_the charge in the same paper, giving it an unqualified, denial. /Jere is his letter: My re' ly is, that the insinuations therein are false. I never made the charge against Mr. Pat terson, nor did any of my friends do so with my knowledge or approbation. If your correspondent wants a more positive or direct denial of the charge, send him to me, and he shall have it. I have kpown Holy Patterson from his child hood up, and regard him' as a good citizen and an honest man, and worthy the confidence of the pub lic. This answer is made without 3fr. Patterson's knowledge, and had not the communication been addressed to me personally, it might have passed without notice. E. TROVILLO. Pittsburgh, August 'lO, 1846. _ . Notwithstanding this evidence, from a witness called by themselves:Completely exhonerating Mr. PATTXRSON, the publiihers of the Caccar have the wickedness and audacity, still to refuse to with draw their charge; but' circulate it without contra diction in their weekly paper of Saturday morn ing. "Satan Rebuking Sin :" The Gazette has been dealing out each day a cart load of slang against RUDI P.►rrsnsoa, Esq., our candidate for Sheriff. When that paper abuses a man, it is the best evidence we could ask of -his worth. Before Deacon White arraigns any person to pass judgment upon his morals, he should lay his hand upon his heart, and ask—"ls all pure and dean within?" If Mr. White attends to the purification of his own heart from sin and wickedness we think be will have enoughtto do, with6ut pointing out the frailties of his neighbors. He had better look into the sacred volume; and read the awful doom that awaits the hypocrite! Old Roortmek: This celebrated character is said to hate arrived in town, and will stop at the Whig head quarters until after the election. , llis business is to circu late lies and forgeries ()revery description, this day and to-morrow. He is the same old Baron who traveled through the country in 1841, and with his own eyes actually witnessed JAMES K. l'uLx. cow hiding his slaves until the claret run down their sable limbs! You can easily tell him, as he don't look like any liody else i and has always got his pockets.stutred with dried sausages, extra Gazettes : coon tickets, and other "lumber." Oh, Monstrous The city federal papers are awfully alarmed because they have discoijered the name of SA NULL W. BLACK on a portion of their tickets, instead of a prdtnising youth. Tamed Wilson. We don't know any thing in regard to this matter, as no such tick et was ever printed at this office. We have no doubt, hoWever, but it was the work of some hon. est and high•minc:ed Whig, who wished to have one good name on their ticket, to give character and in fluence to the rest. Federal Lies Will be circulated this day and to-morrow through out the cowry. "Thick as autumnal lealies that stwew the brooks , 'ln Vallambrosa"— And we would advise our democratic friends to pay not the least regard to them. Be Wide' Awake! And do not permit the enemy to steal a march upon you. He is cunning and active, and must be watched closely. Vote Early, And then start after your neighbors. Bring them to the polls, and if they are busily engaged at work, do you work in their place, until they have depo sited their ballots. "A day', anhour, of virtuous Liberty, Is worth a whole eternity of bondage." Rememtar thi, fellow citizens, before voting, and cast your ballot against the party that has ever preached the; doctrine that the great mass of "mankind were born with saddles on their backs, that a privileged "few, booted and spurred, might ride them." Split Tickets. Don't split your tickets--don't throw aside any of our candidates. Let "principles, not men," be your motto, and our success will be certain.

Brutal Outrage on a Mexican Prisoner. • Gout) FEELISU OF THE PCOPLE.—.-On Sunday, as one of the Mexican prisoners, nosf in this city!. was crossing the footway, from the Jefferson IlVi,gwani, to the United States Hotel, he was bru 7 tally assaulted, and struck in the face, by three Ruffians, who work, we believe, in one of the Roll, ing Mills. The fellows were immediately pursui ed by the persons congregated on the Canal Bridge, and took refuge in the Citizens' Hotel. An imp mense crowd soon assembled, and demanded that the perpetrators of the outrage should be dealt with according to the severest rigor of the' law.—. l The principal ruffian, whose name, we are inform.' ed, is JONI:Pit DlYls, having escaped was instant.H ly pursued by a number of persons, determined t‘; . . deliver him over to an officer, but were indebtect for his escape to the fleetness of his limbs, which' speedily conveyed him over the hill. Alderman Blakely, was promptly on the spot—and arrested; one of the abettors, as he was quietly taking his dinner in the Citizens iloteL The people expressed great indignation, at the conduct of these fellows, and said.,—"it was hard enough fur the poor fellow to,be a prisoner, without provocation." We are glad that-such a feeling exists, and hope that the fellows who would be guilty of such conduct on a poor, inoffensive pri soner, who cannot speak a word of our language,' may meet the punishment which they deserve. p: yruz following anecdote which we received from our esteemed friend 31'Cconr, the painter, will he amply sufficient to convince our readers of the sordid, arrogant nature of the miserable pi tman, Arrnijo, who so lately fled from Santa Fe at the approach of Geri. Kearney, - leaving passess uti• defended, which one hundred men might 'have maintain against teu thousand. Mr. MeeLour had painted the portaits of most of the eminent Mexican officers, and was•request -led by Armijo to take his. The General invited I him one day to step into his palace in order that he might slew him the position in which he would like to be taken. On I entering he pointed to a French engraving of Napoleon at the battle of Austerlitz; Buonaparte was represented as standing by his horse, on which 'one arm rested, and with the oth 'r holding a telescope. "There," pompously said Armijo, "paint me as Napoleon is there paint ed—for I ant the Napoleon of the 211rthP Mtzonz lof course, was choking with suppressed laughter, but consented to paint the dastard at his usual ;price—SW , / Armijo tried to jew him down to I ;sso ' but Mc. was inflexible, and the pitiful scamp had not soul enough to part with $100; so the Na poleon of the North yet remains unpainted. I By the way, sreaking of portraits, we would ad vise any of our friends whistling their likeness ta ken to give Mc. a call; he is an admirable painter, and his prices are much less here than they were in Mexico. His landscapes, also, are beautiful.— We hale rarely seen two such fine paintings as his "Passaic Falls" and the -head waters of the Missou ri, - the latter one is in Gillespie & Kennedy's win dow;., the first can be seen at his studio in Bake well's Low buildings. Surely our citizens will not suffer these to be sent east, us was the case lately with some beautiful paintings executed by our ta lented townsman WALL. Wheeling Argus." D. ikfActANK, Esq., the talented Editor of this spirited little democratic sheet, lately paid our city a visit, and is now treating his readers to a descrip tion of his journey, and' giving au account of the growth and prosperity of the - Birmingham of Ametica. - Hear how he talks: " The bills and ponds that in our younger days, presented themselves to the eye of the observer, at any and every point, have measurably disappeared. Grant's hill, where we once were wont to catch by the hazel twigs to expedite our efforts to climb it. has been razed, and beautiful edifices and pleasant streets now occupy the points almost insurmount able a quarter of a century ago. At its base was a deep pond—now business houses and private res idences appear.—cherry Alley beyond sth strew is the spot. New wards-sth and nth—were cul tivated fields, or wild woods within our recollec tion. But, why do we attempt to describe the vast im provements that are making.

Baser; STUFFS eso PROVISIONS.The increase in the value of Bread Stubs received at New Or leans from the interior in one year, ending Sept. 1, 1846, over that of the'previous year is as follows: Flour, $1,636,000 Corn, 1.152,000 Wheat, 680,000 Increase on three items, Paul-1810:CA The increme in die value of Pork was $1,000,000 Bacon, . 770,000 Beef, 325,000 Increase on three items, $2,095,000 Add increase on three items of B. stuffs, 3,168,000 The increase of Flour, Wheat, Corn, and Oats, received at Buffalo, Oswego, sad New Orleans, in 1846, over the quantity received in 1845, is equal to 5,795,213 bushels. Now will our opponents allege, (asks the Penn sylvanian.) that - this increase has not been mainly inducea by the anticipation of the repeal of the Tariff of 1842, and the adoption of a more liberal Tariff system in time to come?

Base Slander.—The Pittsburgh American, of the Ist inst., says: "Mr. Bums acknowledges his inability to etrect any reform as the present board is constituted, and it Wm. 13. FOSTER, Jr., is re-, elected that he will resign his office in despair of doing any good!" Now this is a most consum mate on the eve of ah important election to make votes for the Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner. It so happens that Mr. Burns is warmly in favor of Mr. Foster's re-election. He has more than once admitted to us, that his shill-. ties as an engineer, and his great experience ' make it absolut ly that he should be elected. Nay, more than this, it is to his indefatigable in dustry that our public works have been so produc tive the present season, notwithstanding the dam age sustained by the spring freshets. What its will the Whigs coin next l—Hay. Union. Clirkner's Sugar-mated Vegetable Pint —All dis eases have their origin in impurity of blood. How. ever excellent the general health, there is no secu. rity against fever, where the blood is impure, as in dicated by eruptions of the skin, vertigo, head ache, lassitude, &c. The best purifier of the blood, is Clickner's Sugar-coated Pill, which, is so skilful ly compounded, that it does not cause griping, the great ob!ection to all pills. The envelope of sugar prevents all nausea, so that, save from the power- MI, yet easy operation, the patient would hardly be aware that he had taken any medicine at all. So well convinced is Dr. Clickner of the efficacy of his pills in all specified cases, that he is pledg ed to return the money, when the promised effect is sot produced. Sold by Wm. Jackson, corner of Wood and Lib erty streets, who is general Agent for Dr. Clicke ner's Pills in Pittsburgh and vicinity. Eagle Saloon, Wood Street.

SKIN AND COMPLEXION, at this (and, indeed, every other) season, is often repulsive, in appearance, caused, in eight cases out of tea., by tWatmosphere; and what persons suppose disease of the Weed, is simply 'a disease of the skin. If some of the thousands who take purgative medicine, pills, and useless Sarsaparilla, were to use:on their skin a softening and clearing balm, that opena the pores, whitens the skin, and causes ahealthy perspi ration, that, be the skin never so disfigured, imbed - thy, or diseased with pimples 'or freckles, sunburn, tali and morphew, the true and genuine JONES'S ITALIAN CHEMICAL SOAP never fails to cure and dispel them, and to make the skin clear -and lovely. It acts so mildly and soothingly on. the skin, that physicians use it on ladies and infanta. in old cases of scurvy, erysipelas, salt rheum, sere heaCi. ringworm, and it (mind, the genuine Jones' 'soap) has often effected a cure when every other remedy failed. It is indeed a blessed remedy. Sold at JACKSON'S Patent Medicine Warehouse, 89 Liberty street;head of Wood—at the same place is sold the Moorish Hair DYie, Coral Hair Restora tive, and Spanish Lily .
