We are indebted to Paul Hugus & Co.,
Market Btreet one door from Fifth, for a neat
and beautiful cramt, being a specimen of their
late purchases in the East. These gentlemen
have just fitted up a magnificent new store room
and have spread out alarge and handsome stock
of fresh goods, which is especially worthy of the
attention of the ladies.
THE WHIGS AND ABOLITIONISTS.
There is an old Roman saying, “No one can
forfeit his honor if he never had any.” And it
is plain that Gov. Johnston can lose nothing of
this kind by his course as leader of the Whigs;
for he never had any honor to lose. It was once
supposed that ho had some, and hence he was
elected by the Democrats a member of the Le-;
gislature. Whenho found that he might moko a
miserable temporary- profit by it, he took an
equivocal position between Democratic and Whig
measures, and in a time of need the Whigs made
him Speaker of the Senate. Then became a
whig, and accident soon made him Whig Gore?,
nor.
-WhcuAro-was a representative of the sterling
Democracy of Armstrong and Westmoreland, he
.Was thought to have honor;, oad. UwaAarigor*
ously maintained the principles of the constitu
tion on the subject of fugitive slaves.' ' But now
we find that it was more selfishness that
cd his course; for no sooner docs he see that ho
needs the aid of Abolitionists, than he changes
his course, and endeavors to embarass the ope
ration of the constitution on this subjeot. When
he was a representative of a sound democratic
district, he advocated sound Union principles.
When he becomes a candidate for a State office,
he courts the Abolitionists by advocating their
disunion principles.
All the true Whig papers of the State claim
that the resolutions of their State Convention
assert the propriety and insist on the permanen
cy of the “Compromisemeasurcs;”and of course,
no man can honorably be the candidate of the
Whig party, who repudiates tliese measures.:—
Yet Johnston does repudiate them. Ho refuses
to stand upon the Whig platform, and in order
to gratify a momentary hunger, the Whigs have
sold their principles for amiss of pottage. John
ston and the Abolitionists have cheated them ont
of their birth-right, and now he and they have
become the standard bearers of: Whiggism—im
proved Whiggism —progressive WhiggiEtn.
And suppose Johnston should succeed; who
will profit by it ? Will his administration be true
Whig or Abolitionist? Will his favorites and
confidants be Whigs or Abolitionists?- Will ho
favor or harass the measures of a true Whig
President? Will ho encourage the kindly flow
of brotherly feelmgs between the Slates, or will
ho still stir np tho foul wotcra of disunion ?
Tie Whigs have made a sad mistake inmaking
sneh a nomination, and it is plain enough that
theyregret.it deeply, and they will show their
regret by rejecting him at the polls. They
should reject him: openly, as he has openly re
jected their principles, and-is openly advocating
principles which they abhor, Such a party
should have a more worthy man to represent
them, . .We do not like .to speak evil of Gover
nors; but even being Governor cannot make a
great man out of ■ Wm. F. Johnston.

GES. SETH CLOVEH.
The infamous lie, (circulated l»y the Whig
candidate for Canal Commissioner, and- by till
the Whig presses in the State,) that Geri. Clover
had been appointed to moke out the returns of
Clarion eonnty, and was found incapable of ad
ding up a column of figures six inches long in
several hours; and that he -was obliged -to get
help to enable him to do so ; baa been overpow
eringly met by the utter denial of all tho return
judges of that county, for the clcotionwhen this
proof of Gen. Clover’s incapacity was offered.
The gentlemen who were the return judges at
the time were Paul Sterner, Joßeph, Alexander,
William Boyd, Jr., Archibald .Bums, Jered
Howe, J. H. Seigworth, Solomon Eckart, Mat
thias Beck, Wm. T. Campbell, Peter Switzer,
Jr., Jonathan Mortimore, Samuel Hagen, John
M’Lain. By these gentlemen Gen. Clover and
•Mr. William Fulton were appointed Clerks, and
all the judges, together with Mr. Fulton, certify
that thero is no truth whatever in the statement
whioh the Whigs are circulating. This matteris
a small one, it is true; bnt from its smallneps it
is easy to see to what low depths of meanness
and littleness Whig politicians will descend, "m
order to try and disgrace an opponent. Ev*n
the gentleman referred to in the Whig statement
as having been called in to aid in summing up
the returns, certifies that the statement i& un
true. Hedeolarcsthattho returns were ail “foot
ed” when ho came into tho room ; and all the
Information he was desired to give, was respect

LITTLH&ESS AND MALIGN tx*’.
On Saturday .last wo pubUsbeil an article from
the London Journal on “Spanish Morals,”' whioh
has been takenhold of by some of the little mor
tals that ore sometimes to be met with; and the
attempt is made to prove from this that the Post
has been guilty of insidiously attacking a por
tion of our fellow citizens, for whom it iB well
known we have been regarded by some as even
more than partial; and on account of oar hav
ing striven to do justice to‘whom 'We ,| have’mtet'
with the same., .treatment which - they received at
tho hands of the illiberal and unjust. Now we
utterly disolaim, in conducting the Morning Post,
any. connection with, or partiality-for, any scot
whatever in religion: ; Our glorious Constitu
tion knows neither Methodist nor Baptist, Epis
copalian. nor. Roman. Catholic, Unitarian nor
Universalist, Jew nor Gentile; -and we ore-de
termined to know neither in our paper, unless
it may be that sect or persuasion which seems
to bo under the ban of proscription. Such has
been our course thus far, and such it shall coa
tinue to be. -
:The article referred to is not an attack, either
insidious -or open, upon any professing .Chris
tians, whatever. it'-is simply-a historical-Btats
- respecting a people who do net stand very
high in the scale of Civilization, and who cannot,
therefore, be expected to stand very high as ex
amples of the influence of vital religion or md
rahty. The article emanates from an European
paper, and merely professes to give some acoount
of Spanish morality.! It names no sect of relig
ion; and if the toes of any in this country are
so tender as to bo hurt by any thing that is saijl
against Spaniards, why all we can say is they
must get cured again ns they got hurt Wo de
signed nothing like on attack npon any one in
publishing the nrtiole ; we in no way endorsed
it, and do not now endorse it; and we believe
that none bat a pitifully little soul, who might
conceive that his own interest might be promot
ed by such misrepresentation, would seek to
make it appear, that we had any other design
than that which we have stated, in the publica
tion of the article.
GOV. JOHNSTON’S DISHONESTY.
Can any man desire more complete evidence
of the mean and angenerouß dishonesty of Gov>
Johnston than is furnished by tho fact that he
claims that he has reduced the State debt. Lei
it bo conceded that there has been some reduc
tion during his administration, what has ho had
to do with it?
He is not the State Treasurer, nor the Audi
tor General, and has nothing to do with appoint
ing or controlling cither of those officers. Yet
these are the officers who are charged by law
with the administration of the finances of the
State, and we do not charge them with unfaith
fulness. Gov. Johnston has been in office three
years, and during all that period, the offices of
State Treasurer and-Auditor General have been
filled by democrats, except one year when a whig
was State Treasurer. Now, from all this how
does it appear that Gov. Johnston had anything
to do with the merit of redeeming tho State
debt?
The Legislature have made no extravagant
appropriations, and the Auditor General and
State Treasurer have faithfully administered tho
finances, and hence a small reduction of the
State debt. Now where Is tho merit of Gover
nor Johnston? Simply in he has
the impudence to use his power and position, to
"teal from his colleagues of inferiorposition, the
credit whioh their integrity have- earned. A
more generous mind would allow to-tho Auditor
General and State Treasurer, and the Legisla
ture, the bolo credit of any reduction that has
been effected, and would neither steal the honor
of others, nor suffer his friends to make him the
receiver of their, stolon wares.
Indiana Elections..
Wo believe wo bavo not yet givcn;a statement
;of the entire result of the late elections in this
- State, for Congress and tho State Legislature.
Tho result for Congress has been tho choico of
. eight Democrats and two Whigs. There have
;boen chosen to tho Stato Senate 17. new mem
ibers, of whom 10 are Democrats and 2 Whigs.
These, with the number, holding over give the
Democrats in thc.-Senate- 40-and the-Whigs 10.
jin tho House of Bcpresentstives, thero arc 03
Democrats and 87 Whigs;—which will give a
Democratic majority on joint ballotof fifly-nz.
B. House of Ucprt&j-itatlvca.
The House consists of 283 members and four
territorial Delegates. Of this number there
ore already chosen to the . next Congress 114
Democrats and 80 Whigs, in States that gave in
the last Congress lOG Whigs and 88 Democrats,
—making a Democratic gain thus far of 2G. The
States yet to elect gave in the lost Congress; 30
Democrats and 9-Whigs; so that if thososhould
remain as they-are tho . Democratic majority in
the next House of Bepresentativcs of tho Uni
ted States will be fifty-five ! The Senate consists
of 02 members, of whom 33 are Democrats, 10
Whigs, and 7 Abolitionists—leaving one mem
ber to be chosen in each of the States of Cali
fornia, Connecticut, and Tennessee. .
■ ; Wo have been long satisfied that it is ut
terly useless for us to attempt to addneo any
argument sustaining nor political opinions, that
will be in any manner acceptable to tho finely
discriminating mind of the editor of the Gazette.
Wo are not of that school of moralists who re
gard it as proper to try and prove that black is
white, or tho reverse, os may servo our interest;
and we therefore endeavor to reach the mindß
of honest men by plain and simple appeals to
Vheir reason, and tho presentation of facts. We
are so .very unfortunate, too, a snot to be able
to snit onr distinguished opponent in the presen
tation of facts; but this does not disturb our
equanimity in the least. We know that, for
-some wise end, the Almighty permits things
which we regard as very strange,—fish, for in
stance covered with scales and others covered
with only slime ; still they areallfißh. With the
latter class corresponds the editor of the Ga
zette; for he will squirm and twist an argument
into every imaginable form, rather than for one
instant admit that an opponent may bo right in
his conclusions, or present a true statement of

The Iron Blaunfao¥ttrc
Wo arc told .by Gov. John fix on, (anil Jus presses
all join in the statement,): that more than half
tho fumaces of this Stato have been closed since
1846. Notwithstanding this statement,u-these
men know that some'of the heaviest furnaces in
the State have been erected within the last five
years; and that Boveral of thoso doing the best
business at this moment have sprung .up. .since
1840. We see aocounts, almost weekly, of new
furnaces being built, even with what are called
the present extremely low prices of iron ; and
we should regard any man as a fool who should
seriously assert that another would embark in
suoh a business, at a time like the present, unless
he saw at leaßt a-foir prospect for realizing a
profit on his investment. Within the last week
wo have noted the commencement of two very
extensive furnaces,—-one in the vicinity of Cam
den, N. J., and the other in tho immediate neigh
borhood of Pottsvillo in tills State. We have no
doubt that all the eomplauit about ruinous priefes
comes from old manufacturers who once doubled
their money on eveiy ton of iron they made,
while nineteen-twentieths of-the furnaces that
havebeen closed, have been stopped because
their nominal owners could not pay their bank
debts.

Tliti United States’ Arsenal at Springfield.
The following very interesting facts about
this establishment are from the Springfield Re
publican:-.; i
The-arsenal, the offices, and the principalman
ufacturing and Btoring buildings of the armory
are located on Springfield Hill, nnd overlook the
i Connecticut valley at a charmlhgclevation. The
heavier operations of the concern are effectedat
three localities on Mill river, known as tho “Up
per,” “Middle,” and “Lower Water Shops.”—
The land owned, on thediill by -tho Government
amounts to 72 acres and 2'rods; at the Upper
and Middle Water -Shops, Til acres 06 rods;”at
the Lower Water Shops, 10 acrcs andTo2 rods ;;
total land owned by ■ the Government in town,-
102 acres and 10 rods. The principle building
is the new arsenal: This is 200 feet long by 70
feet wide. Tts height is 50feet* which is divided
into three stories, each story being sufficiently
large to contain 100,000 muskets. The front is
finished by a pediment of 70 feet by 12, and ono
of the rooms formed by the..pediment .it is de-.
signed to convert into an exhibition room of old
and curious arms, and relics appropriate to tho
establishment. The tower is 89 feet high and
29 feet square, the flag-staff rising 60-fcet above
thodeck of tho tower. Another largo building
is tho new brick structure for storing-lumber
and musket-stocks. - This is 400 feet. long,. 55
feet wide, and two stories high.. Here a stock
of four years inmusket-Btocksis constantly kept,
that the timber may be properly seasoned. The
principal of - the throe old arsenals is 120 by 40
feet on tho ground, aim three stories high ; and
the others two stories high, and in their dimen
sions 100 feet by 84. The other principal build

2; at the Middle, 2; and Lower, 2—total dwel- i
ling houses, 16. ■ i

there Were on hand a grand total of tm hundred
and fifty thousand nine-hundred and fifty mui
kels.
Tho largest number of men employed daring
any one month last year was 431; the smallest
320—average number per month, 381 jj. Tlio
average pay of these men making no account of
lost time, and reckoning in all from the highest
to the lowest, was $4O per month.
In the month of June, just past; the division
of office, labor and laborers, was as follows: ;
On Salaries or Wages.— One superintendent, 1
master armorer, l military storekeeper, 4 clerks,
11 inspectors, 10 machinists.
Al rirrficork. —Eighteen barrel forgers, 7
lock forgers, Bbayonet forgers, 2ramrod forgers,
10 mounting forgers, 1 appendage forger, 1 iron
maker, 9 assistant forgers, 0 annealers, 14 borers,
20 millers, 11 drillers, 3 turners 3 grinders, 11
barrel filers, 24 lock-fders. tr bayonet filers 14.
mounting S appendngii filers, 10 polishers,
10 stockera, 1 barrel finisher, 3 mounting finish,
era, 3 lock finishers, 1 arm finisher, 2 appendage
finishers.;. .
Jobbers. —Five, smiths; .2 filers, 19 carponters,
l mason and 30 laborers, all on wages.
The above give a total of 320 men, employedin
June, which Is the smallest number employed in
any month daring the year, with the exception
of May, when the number was the same.
The number of condemned barrels,, in the last
year's operations,.was, for defective workman
ship, 451, and for defective material, 5323. Of
these, 183 of the first class were coadomned be
fore reaching the stage of proving, and 1971 of
the last. In proving 261 were condemned for
workmanship, and 1815 for material, la the
iwhole number of barrels proved only 142 burst,
and an instance of a barrel bursting at the sec
ond discharge has not been known fpr soveral
iycars. Between this stage npd. the finishing of
the barrel, 17.wcro condemned for workmanship
and 1637 for material. Thus, in making 21,000
muskets, only 461 barrels were spoiled by the
workmun, and the value deducted from their
earnings, while 6323 were a loss to the Govern
ment from imperfect material.

: A Hot Spuing.— One of the members of the
Mexican Boundary Commission, writing from
Santa Rita, New Mexico to the Providence Jour

May:
i “ Having heard of a remarkable ‘hot spring’
a few miles from our road, all that were mount

Struck off into tho plain in a straight dirootion
for it. A ride of about five miles brought us to
the spot, which was indicated by a hill about
GOO feet in circumference at its base, and abont
30 or 40 feet high, which was formed entirely
by tho deposits made by the waters of.tho spring.
On the summit of this hill was a basin 20 fret
in diamoter, containing the hot water, the sur
face of which was six or eight-feet below the top
of tho basin. The temperature of tho water
was found to be 125' degrees, and of course so
hot that tho hand could not bo bom in it. Hr.
Webb collected tho gas whioh bubbled up .from
the bottom, and found it to be neither hydrogen
or carbonic acid gas. His conclusion, therefore,
was that it was purely atmospheric air. The
Water wns ploasant to the taste, and would be
palateableif cooled. At one side of the hill a
small spring burst out, and at a short, distance
Where it oofieoted in a pool, tho water was cool
enough to bathe in, but even then it was literal
