WWI the present number of our paper closes the sixth year of its existence. We are giuti. tied in being able to state to our friends and patrons, that the establishment . is in a highly nourishing condition, with a steady augmenta tion to the subscription list of the paper. For all this we are truly grateful, and will endeavor to deserve,;during the Coining year, the kind- ness which has hitherto been so liberally. ex' tended towards us. Finding the present size of the paper too contracted to embrace within its compass the various departments of news and literature, which the times ssom to demand, and feeling Josue to keep up with the "Spirit of the ago," we will make arrangements, as soon as cireum• glances will permit, for the enlargement of the Register, and will issue .a sheet very much lark ger and superior in every respect to the one now published. As a political Journal it bill ailvocale the doctrines and measures of the great Democrat ic) Whig party; but at the same time we shall endeavor to make it a Family Journal—such a one as will be welcome to the homes and fire sides of every intelligent family. The price of the paper trill remain unchanged. One thing more. The necessities compel us to urgently re• quest those in arrears for the Register, job work or advertising, to call and make settlement. A reasonable attention to this nre;,.., -.id save a great expense In sending out an agent. We are in earnest when we say we want money, wherewith to pay the debts incurred in keep. ing up the Register. Mani subscribers have promptly paid, but there are some who never paid the first dollar during a period of six years, and many are in arrears for 3, 4 and 5 years. This is too great a delinquency, and it is hop ed that this notice will not go unheeded, but that all will Walk up to the Captaiti'B office and promptly settle their accounts. The Fair. The throng of strangers visiting the Agricul tural Fair on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri. day next, in our Borough, it is expected will be immense. From every part of the county we hear the word "all going to the Fair." We hope the weather will continue to be favorable in order to extend to the visitors that satisfac tion they anticipate. A Large Scott Coon. Our friend Joseph Wendel, of Hanover town^ ship, has what he calls a genuine Scott" coon, whieh.in size and weight we are told, goes ahead of any live ll i acoen ever seen in this court. ty. 'Whigs and bemocratcL are wending their way to see Joe's Coon. Friend Jo thinks the species of Coons have increased rapidly • this season in Hanover, and that they have ap. pointed Tuesday the 12th .of October next, as a training day, and on the 2d of November, they will be out in full uniform for a generatparade.

Major William Fry Was on Saturday last nominated as tlnLo cofeee candidate for State Senator, at the lon ferce meeting, held at Bath. The conlost itithe district is between James IV.

Wo despise Ure idea of attacking the private character of a'ay individual, whether a candidate for public office, or in the private, walks of life; we therefore shall not say one word upon this ' point. But we are bound to scan the politic course pursued by the Major since he has b 4 come a citizen in our. midst. He is what wi might call a Foderal—Anti-Masonic—Harrisotl Whig—Democrat. He was twice run as the, federal volunteer candidate for the Legislaluni He was supported us a kind of Anti-masonic candidate fur Major. %Vas elected as the Har- , rison Whig candidate for Brigade hispector.—.

Has been put forward by the people of Carbon county as a candidatelfor the Legislature in op position to Mr. Struthers. He is a gentleman of great moral worth and ability. Let the Whigs of Lehigh do their duty towards Mr. Weiss. The Demicrat's Veracity. "Mr. Taylor's well known abolition senti ments, however, Sm., was a commodity of too much weight to receive the go-by in a Federal Convention." The foregoing is a specimen of the veracity and of t ale intelligence which the Allentown Democrat weekly exhibits to its readt7rs. That paper would better have published Mr. Tay lor.'s sentiments which it pronounces "rank ab olition," and haVe permitted the public to judge them. The editor of t h at paper doubtless how ever, had a very potent reason, or two for not publishing Mr. Taylor's sentiments upon the slavery question. He is ignorant of what they are, and had he ascertained them from others, ho would not have made thermknown, because they would give the lie direct to the cowardly insinuation of "rank abolition." The stale charge of "Federal" as applied to the Convention which the Democrat says nom ! hutted Alr. Taylor, manifests a weakness quitd 7— eotinnon among a certain class of lecofoen press err~rmt a ti aye ; 1 Icy prefer slander to truth and common semi°, because it is their natural ele ment. Arouse Arouse !! Whigs of Lehigh! this is the last time that we have an opportunity to speak to you through the columns of the Register before the election, and ere the receipt of another numberyau will be called upon to discharge a duty fraught with deep and important interest to yourselves and your country. The election for State and coun ty officers, on Tuesday next, is of great and serious moment, inasmuch as it may, in no lit. tlo extent, effect the succeeding election for President, in November; and it therefore be• hoo . ves you, one and all, to rally the full and entire Whig vote: Lot the result of "Little , Lehigh" be as bright as a "summer's morn" ( to the noble cause Of Whigery ! We know, if you but do your duty, such a result can be ea- . sily consummated, and thus dispel the gloom which for the last few years has obscured the political horizon in this county. Activity alone is necessary—benefit by the never ceasing per- / severance of your opponents, assimulate their devotedness to their cause, no matter however I I repugnant it may be, nevertheless cling to it with a more than brutish love, and you can I anticipate naught else, but a result glorious and triumphant The ticket that floats at our mast head, and which, we hope, will lied the support of every true Whig, is one of which we all can feel proud of. It is composed of men of irreproach able character, and unquestionable abilities. They ate the undivided choice of the many, not alone it: the county where they live, but in Om district they ate .culled upon to represent. They are 'unobjectionable in every respect. No blemish stains their character—unsullied and untarnished they stand before the people, and if elected, we feel confident, that they will dis charge the duties pertaining, to their offices faithfully and honestly. We once more entreat you to do your duly, and our word for it, victory will crown your of— forts. Our March is Onward ! For the last eleven years the kV higs of I'enn. t sylvania have been gaining ground steadily and surely. In 1840, the State was carried for the still lamented Harrison. In 18-14 we came within a few thousand votes of electing Gen eral Markle Governor. In 1846, we elected sixteen of the twenty four members of Congress, ! and a majority in the State House of Represen" tativm, In 1947, wo elected a majority of the members of the State Senate. In 1848, we elected Wm. F. Johnston Governor, by a major ! ity of 297. In NoverrOer of that year, we gave the patriotic, the lamented Taylor, 13,537 ma jority for the Presidency. The same year we elected 17 members of Congress out of 24. Last year we would halie re-elected our worthy Governor, but for the schism in onr ranks.— In no previous campaign were our prospects more bright than now. Friends of Scott and Graham, vote the enire Whig State and County . tickets, Rally! Rally ! To the Polls, one and all ! Do you Choose Victory ? Lot halfway, desponding Whigs remember that they may sleep in indolence until aroused by the deafening Inizzas of their victorious foes! Remember the series of defeats you have Willed to a struggling party—the shouts of victory that have rent the air with Locofoco melodies in consequence of your activity and supineness! Remember that by you General Scott may be defeated; bet that by your earn• est, united efforts ho must be triumphant! Do you choose victory or defeat 7 Early at the Polls ! Whigs! be early at the POLLS! Il you should take your breakfast in your hand, you would doubtless find that the Locofocos were out before you—out trying to get every voter on their side to the polls. Organize yourselves into two divisions—one- to stay at the polls, and the others to bring in voters. It too fro• (pettily. happens that we hang abourthe place of election, looking for voters to come in—and we look till evening—but look in vain. Tar dy votes should be sent for in time to be cast into the ballot box. It is SCOTT, the Tariff and the UNION against Pierce, King, Fare Trade, and Abolitionism !! In such a struggle every man owes a day to his country. LEI', US GIVE A FULL DAY, beginning with the morning. Stay at the Polls There are too many who think that they have done their whole duty when they have deposited their vote. The result usually is that the hard work at the polls is thrown upon the shoulders of a few men. This is not right.— After voting, every elector should ascertain whether his neighbor has voted, and if not, go after him. If every Whig who feels an inter est in the result of the coming election would do. what it is his dutild do, the result would be just what he would have it to be. • Samuel A. Bridges, .The candidate put in nomination by the Demo cratic party of this district, a few years ago bcdonged to the party which he now alternately maligns and boot - licks." Governed entirely by motives of personal interest, with whatever party he may act, 'his associations can only be of character to secure the object his interests may dictate. Finding .it not conducive to - the ad vancement of his political_arrktion to atTliiith the Whig party,le foiind no difficulty In aban doning it and uniting his destiny with the Demo cratic party. Such a change on his part in volved no sacrifice of principle, for the only principle which he could acknowledge in •the matter, was to dragoon the party with which he might chance to act, to elect him to such office as his love for the dear people might make it neces. sary for him to fill. This principle he found it difficult to carry into effect when acting with the Whig party. Hence his vindictiveness against , the Whigs on all occasions, except when 0 boot. licking" them for votes. A year ago, it will be _ remembere dTat - the - Democratic - meetingheld at Siegersville, this same Samuel A. Bridges was a prominent speaker. The Whigs were then de. flounced by him as „ a false, black-hearted, red. mouthed set of Federalists." No language was then sufficiently strong for this sapient leader of the Democratic phalanx, to express his utter abhorrence and detestation of the red mouthed Federalists." Now only honeyed words drop from his lips, soft and treacherous as the whisper that betrayed our great maternal ances tors. Whigs of Lehigh, beware of his persua sive whispers When a candidate for the same office, on a 1 former occasion, he was elected by a very small majority. The confidence then entertained by his opponents, of his certain defeat, then secured his election. Let not the same cause now produce the same result. The free circulation of money, open houses, and free drinks were then wielded as powerful engines. They will not be spared now. Already, we are assured by Democratic. authority, liquor has been placed by demijohns, at the disposal of landlords and others, in some of the upper townships of this county. No doubt the same will be done in Bucks. The same mercenary, drunken, and degrading scenes of a former election are to be re.enacted. If thou sands of dollars were needed then, they will not be wanting now if their influence can be made active. Friends of order ! whether Whigs orDemo• crate, look to it that the rights of freemen at the polls be not thus degraded and trampled . upon by demagogues. Look to it that they be not invaded by the degrading influence of rum, by drunken ness, by subornation, by the distribution of largesses, and the corruption of ill - applied m , 4a1t1 , . REBUKE the designs of demagogues by casting your votes for CALEB N. TAYLOR. Vote the Whole Ticket. By an act passed last winter, it is made law ful to vote the whole ticket on one slip of pa per. This will make it condenient for those who are engaged in holding the election.— Whigs we say to you, vote the whole ticket, and nothing but the whole ticket. Sign of Distress. Winfield Scott, whose very name is indicative of success, has a way of his own of capturing an enemy's stronghold that even the defenders of Old Virginia, the Democratic Cerro Gordo of the country, are beginning to give signs of alarm and want of confidence to hold out against him. The Richmond Examiner, in the agony of des• pair, cries : "The present Democratic organiza tion is not worth a cent," while, on the other hand, the Lynchburg Republican reluctantly ad• mils that "there is no enthusiasm in the masses' for Pierce and King, that even "the day of elec tion is not generally known," and that "the state of things cannot but prove fatal to the cause of Democracy." "These are disagreeable facts," says the Republican, "but we have for some time ' seen them, and have endeavored to warn our friends in this section against the fatal apathy into which they are lulled. We have had no documents distributed, while the whole country is flooded with Whig documents. But few gath erings of the people have been held, and but few addresses made. There is no enthusiasm in•the masses. The day of election is not generally kn . own.. The result of this state of things can not but be fatal to the cause of democracy. When such language of despondency comes from the Old Dominion, and some of her boldest spirits, the very sentinels upon the watch tower of her Democratic.castle give such signs of woe, the Whigs may well take courage and renew the assault with redoubled energy and force, confi, dent that the reward of their labors will be a brilliant victory. Shall British Interests Triumph ? This is a question which it behooves every true hearted American to consider well before he makes up his mind to vote for Franklin Pierce, or any candidate for Congress who is known to be in favor of his election. Heavy failures have taken place in every section of the country, and many more are threatened ; in a word the finger of fate exhibits the approach of dark times. We are no croakers, but perceive the foreshadows of coming events. Still men are loath to attribute these fatal results to the true cause, over importation of foreign merchan chandise. We have slept in over security, we have run in debt td foreign countries, we have drained the land of California's product, and the hour of judgment is approaching. Can we meet it? Listen, for we bid you prepare for the corn ing hour of trail, and for the future. We are convinced that naught will save our country from pecuniary ruin, but the passage of a pro , tective tariff: This measure, the only means of national salvation, will be submitted to the next Congress by force of necessity. Will you, as American freemen, interested in the . prosperity of the country, so vote at the next election as to secure a President who will recommend and ap.. prove, and. a Congress, which will legislate for the good of American interests, and the welfare of the American people? Or will you sustain thi interests of British . manufactures, by sop. porting Glen. Pierce for President,•and electing men to Congress who are in favor of Free Trade IVO ---- Correspondence of the ti • hße ~ter. IyAsnneerorr,arpte er 24, 1852. Our city is Unusually-quiet since the adjourn. nient of Congtess, although politicians are very busy in sending out documents, and are flood ing the country with them in every direction. The election being near at hand, members of. Congress have nearly all left for their homer; not to give their constituents an account of their stewardship, but to tell them how and for whom to vote. But the people can, and invariably do, judge for themselves ; and the ities . of Novttn ber will bring us the result of their delibera lions. There is much to admire here in the Capitol of the nation. It is exceedingly interesting to look out from the dome of the Capitol and view the numerous and beantilul public buildings that rear their heads and domes far above the private houses—the various public grounds and reservations that meet the eye iu every direc tion—the broad avenues, studded with beauti. - ful residences, an - A - a - domed - W - 1"h the ever-prom- inent and pretty elm—and then the Potomac, a name blended and associated with so many pleasant and painful remembrances, on the banks of which dwelt the father of his country —all combine to make a view from the Capi tol one of the most pleasant and agreeable treats one can experience. But to be appreci ated those things must be seen. It has pleased me much to see the noble stand you have taken in the present political canvass. You have placed ypurelf upon the side of the people in the coming contest, who have always been, and will again he trium phant. The people of this Union have long since formed their opinion of the character of Winfield Scott. He is not a man of yesterday, as politicians would have us believe.. No, the old meh well remember the trying scenes on . the Lake borders—alt, yes, they remember the man who wiped out the disgrace of Hull's sur render by his glorious achievements ; they re member how it buoyed up the spirits and en couraged the men of Baltimore, and they drove back and scattered the enemy who had burned your beautiful Capitol to the ground, and laid waste the metropolis of the nation ; they re member what a thrill of pleasure they experi enced, and what shouts of joy went up from every American bosom, when the news of Vic tory came from the far-off Lake borders where everything before hed been dark and dreary, and weeping and wailing was all over the land ; and they will remember, too, those services of the gallant Scott on the second day of November next. I have much admired, all along, the course you had taken upon the Tariff question. You have no doubt become convinced, like myself, that the best and surest mode to establish the tariff policy, and thus lend protection to Amer. ican industry, is by supporting the party who 1 .. upholds and advocates this principle •openly and fearlessly. Although lam called a Whig, be cause I usually vote with the Whigs, yet U am a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school. In this country both the prominent parties are Demo cratic, and I go with the one that is the most democratic, which, in my opinion, is the Whig party of the present day. I really believe that it all those Democrats who are in favor of pro tection, and who still vote the so-called Demo. erotic ticket, would, like myself bolt from this party, and vote the true Democratic and pro tection ticket, we would ere long establish the American policy of protection to home industry. I cannot but pity those mechanics of our country, who vote so directly against their own interests, and especially those Who are engaged in the manufacture of segars. This branch of American industry is suffering severely, and I fear, will suffer still more in future. The im mense quantity of German sugars imported must greatly disparage the manufacture of them in this country. But this is only a beginning. Several large importing houses in New York .have made the experiment, and finding that it pays well, have made, as I learn from a relia. ble source, extensive preparations to import still a larger quantity the coming year. Quite a I large number of petitions were presented in the last C mgress from segar.makers in various parts of the country fur a higher tariff upon pa gers, but, like those from the iron districts of Pennsylvania, they were hurled wild() by this Democratic Congress. • The prospect for Scott in. the neighboring State of Virginia is brightening every day. The Whig electors are stumping it from one end to the other. You may perhaps doubt my vera city when I tell you that I believe Virginia will go for Scott and Graham; but such aro the indications. Gen. Scott is gaining daily. The iron interest of Western Virginia has suffered severely—and the Whigs hurl the tariff doc. trines of Jefferson at the Democrats. Party spirit is blinding, but can't make Virginians shut their eyes to such proof as is . pouTd out from the press and from the stump. Set down the Old Dominion as true to her most distin guished living son, The Railroad The Corps of Engineers lately employed by the Philadelphia and Water Gap Railroad Com pany, have completed their survey of the West. ern route along the Perkiomen and Swamp creeks as far as Freemansburg, and are now en• gaged on the middle route. This route passes through a place called Knause's Gap, from the Saucon Creek to the head waters of the Tohicon, thence branching off to the west side about two miles above Quakertown, passes near that vil. Inge, on the west side ; thence through a depres. sion in the Rockhill ridge about a mile west of the Bethlehem road, and crosses the ranch Creek about half a mile below Sellersville; thence near Line Lexington and Montgomery ville to the head 'waters of the Wassahicon.. 7 . This route is spoken of by , the Engineers as quite favorable.ai regards natural obstructions, as well as being the route nearest to an air line that can be obtained front Philadelphia to Pree. mansbnrg. • Taylor's majority, 5,31.0 The increase in the Whig majority was thus 1102 votes in eight yea - rs, being an average of 138 votes a year. Assuming that the increase for the last four years has been the same as dur ing* previous eight, Scott's majority ought, from• natural causes, be within a fraction .of 6 . 000.. It will thus be seen that the pledge Lan. castercounty has given for 60 . 00 majority is not at all extravagant, and can be redeemed if prop. er efforts be made to bring every voter to the polls. Accident.—The two elephants, Romeo and Jo. liet, belonging to the circus and menagerie of R e Sands &G. D. Quick, which exhibited in this place, as they were crossing the town bridge over the Cayadutta Creek, at the west end of the village on their way to St. Johnsville, broke down through, and were precipitated into the creek, falling some 18 or 20 feet, carrying with them two thirds of the flooring of the bridge.— Romeo received but little injury, and %ea.; got out of the creek with but little or no difficulty ; but Juliet was considerably bruised in her right fore leg and shoulder, and it was with the utmo.t difficulty that she could be got out on the bank of the creek. A canvass was erected over her, and we think after a few days they will be able to proceed on their journey.-!"up o n Co. Dein. The Potato Disease.—A gentleman informs the editor of the Marlboro (M 11.) Gazette, that he saw a field of potatoes examined a feW days ago, which proved to be totally worthless. Most of them had rotton in the bill. They were of the early planting for the fall crop. Those planted late on the same farm turned out well. Proving too ilftich.—The answer to Meriweth er's resolution in the Senate shows that General Scott has received in forty four years' hard ser vice, something over $200,000. Pierce for less than a year, over $20,000! If Scott had drawn in the same proportion, he would have been the recipient of more than eight hundred thousand dollars ! Ilan. Jas. F. Sin/them—The Alexandria, Va. Telegraph, states that at a Whig meeting in Alexandria, the lion. Jas. P. Sirother being prey. ent, took the stand and very fully defined his po. Milan on the Presidential question, by showing that he was where he had ever beon, and expect-. ed to be with the Whig party, come weal or woo This is the sane gentlemen whose name has, been going the rounds of the Locofoco papers a& a Whig bolter. Canada far Pierce.—The InspectOr General of Canada, in his speech on reciprocity, dilated on the prospects of General Pierce, and declared that if he be elected President, the prospect of obtaining, reciprocity will be enhanced wonder fully !! ! The Democratic party, the speaker added, is most favorable to foreign interests; and. on that ground he desired the success of Gener al Pierce. It is plain, says the Republic, that If the com ing election depended upon the influences of Britain and her colonies, Pierce would be the• successful candidate. But the American pco ple are not prepared to give up the right of suf.- frage in this instance, or even to eiercise it with. a view solely to promote British interests. The anxiety of the London Times, and of the Canadi an minister is natural, nevertheless. PROTECTION. ,I:ITThe Harrisburg Demo‘crat, the German locofoco paper of that place, is out against G. W.
