Frightful Accident On Saturday last, art accident of the most I lfiglltfuVikttyre . occurred at the Iron Ore bed of mr. Danisi Nll l in South Whitehall township, —Lehigh couritY,-. al,pvesetut-iu the occupancy of the Crane Iron Company. It4tWeers that three men, two Germans and an en• gaged in taking n o t ore in one of the AO'S . * a depth of about 65 or 70 feet. In the morning before they went in, they noticed a small crack, however, they did not think was den geroos, and entered as usual to work, but at about.' I o'clock, the mass of earth gave way, about 8 feet wide, extending the 65 or 70 feet down to the spot Where the men were at work, and buried thorn to the depth of some 30 or . 40 feet. The superintendent of the mines im mediately dispatched some fifty hands to the spot, who were at work uncovering on Satur day, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and have as yet not succeeded in recovering the bodies bf the unlorturiate men. Oae of the Germans named Peter Wisser, leaves n wife and tour children to mourn his loss. The other, Peter Bell, has but lately cm. migrated to this country, and his wife and ono child, are now, it is said, on their way hcro. Barney MeLarnry, is a single man. The Work to be Done. "A full vote is a %Vhig victory"—almost al way. has been, and to a moral certainty will now be. Let the vote be as lull now as it was' in 3840 or '94, and nothing can prevent the triumph of Scott and Graham. Let it be one eighth deficient, and a disastrous result is in evitable. We ask only for a full vote. Friends in every quarter! Are you prepar ing to•bring out the last vote? That is the on ly work .of much consequence now remaining. bless 51eatings are well enough, and speeches sometimes do good—but the main thing is to get ont the votes. To this end Organization —quiet, thorough, universal—is essential. Give na a gond Organization in every Ward and Township, with efficient men to see it carried into full effect up to the day of Election, and we will silence the boasters and return the se. lutes of the last few days. Work Will win while nothing else can. , Whig reader ! don't fancy this counsel meant for somebody away off in lowa or Mississippi— it is addressed to you. Its intent is to incite you to see that the last vole in your township is brought out on 'held of November. ToAhia end, it is indispensible that you bold an Imme diate consultation with your Whigiteighbors and townsmen, and see that all is : featly for the momentous conflict. If there ' l lO voters yet heiitating, let them be visited and conferred with; if there be infirrn „ , decrepit or lukewarm men whomight-rrot otherwise reach the polls, Aeitiairringetnenta be promptly perfected for bringing them out in good season. Divide your township into districts, and have some ono in each' who will surely see that every man is on hand in due season. If any voters are ab sent, let them be written for ; if meditating a journey, let them be persuaded, entreated, to stay and vote. Do not let one vote be lost that could possibly be saved. We must call our last re.ources to secure the triumph of our efillSo and its Champions. Friends ! are you inclined to faint ! Do you say the prospect looks gloomy t Remember that it looked (linker at the correspondingstage of the battle of Lundy's Lane, yet Scott left that field covered with unfaded laurels. Trust then, in the star of our heroio Chief, and ad• vance to a benefioient triumph! • Whig Meeting. The meeting at the Court House on Friday evening last, was well attended, and enthusi am and good feeling pervaded the assemblage. Olt motion of E. J. Moore, Esq., S. 11. Lorain of Catasauqua, was called to the chair, Goo. Beis'el and Maj. Eli Steokel, appointed Vice „Presidents and James W. Mickley and Isaac Chandler, Secretaries. The meeting was ably and eloquently addressed by John Neville, Esq., of Pottsville, who . entertained the audience for •mare than.an hour and a half, in which he re. pelted the false charges of the Opposition press made against the gallant old Hero of a hun dred battles, and appealed to the people to march up • to the ballot box on Tuesday next, and forever silence these vile slanderersof the noble old*Chieflain and perverters of American 'history: Showing clearly, that if the people sileci Pierce, the result will , be the esta6lish• ment'ol the free trade or, ten cents a day poll cli..hecapeo he was nominated by and is en tirely in the hand. of Southern free traders.— At the conclusion of his remarks, three cheers werelisren for Seolt and Graha ms and three inotelor Mr: Neville. What the Whigs have Done—What They Can Do Again. We see no real cause for desponding at the result of the late election. Local causes upon • which the Presidential election had no influ enve, contributed to swell the vote of the other party, and to bring their votes to the polls.— These influences wril not operate at the presi- dential election. It is seldom that the Whig vote is even nearly all polled at the State con tests, whilst the great mass of the Democratic party aro out at every election. To prove this look at the figures: In 1840 the aggregate Democratic vote at the State election was 133,460 Presidential- 143,672- Democratic increase, • 10,212 Whig vote, 128,962 Presidential 144,021 Whig increase, Thus you soo, that although beaten at the State contest, the inactive Whig strength lying back was brought out, increasing our vote more than the Democracy could increase theirs, by nearly 5000, and giving the State to the good cld hero of Tippecanoe. Again—ln 1848, the aggregate Demo cratic vote at the State election a•aa 168,221 Prepidential • 171,176 Democratic increaQe, Whig vote at State election Preeidential increaqP, This shown that ,the Democracy always 'make their e s xeriiariq to bring all their strength . ie119....p2115, whilst at the State election, the • I, l 6'higs are log apt to he supine and negligent, The comparisooltoltls good in our own coun ty elections; thus comparing the vote for Ca nal Commissioner lass'ear with the vote for the same office this year!lwe find that: Strohm, Whig, in 1851, had — ' , ‘ 2973 votes.

This noble vindicator of our nation's fame and gallant asserter of our country's rights, has made no personal appeal Ito your gratitude—has not himself placed his name before the nation for its suffrages, but has been made to oc cupy that position r hy-a great party in the Union which maintain truly, that the American people but honor them ,selves in elevating him to the highest place of trust in the Republic ! Will you, then, suffer this illustrious Hero and Civilian, who has never yet en countered a defeat,.,tO fall before the unmanly blows and ' -Foul slanders of an ungrateful portion of his countrymen, from whom better things should be expected, and who would glory in up-1 holding him, were he but identified with their party ! Forbid it, justice ! Forbid it, gratitude! Forbid it, geni-i us of Free Institutions ! The Hero of two wars, and the pride of American Chivalry, the record of whose illustri ous deeds of prowess has covered the pages of his country's history all over with glory and renown, cannot cer 'tainly fail of a triumphant election on the Second day of November ! The world would start in amazement at such an unexampled event, ad the de feat of Gen. Scott ! Intelligent nations of Europe would exclaim in surprise, behold ! what ingratitude Republics are capable of. It cannot, it will not be so. The American people will not so stultify themselves—so dishonor their great name and proud lineage—so de grade greatness and exalt insignifi cance. Such a result would be dishon oring—disgra,eeful to the American people ! Now; Whigs, how is this hu miliating result to be averted ? How is the dignity and glory 'of the country to be asserted, and its title to gratitude vindicated ? By every Whig in Penn sylvania doing his whole duty Cr.om this houruntil the polls close on next Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. ISE in 5,523 185,513 EMI 16 960 P ally ! Rally er WM TO THFPOLES! TO THE POLLS! SCOTT MEN! The British at Work ! Ever since the holding of the Iwo great po litical conventions at Baltimore, whiCh has brought forth the nomination by the Whig par ty of Gen. Winfield Scott, and the embodyment In the platform of the great American iiftinciple —the Protective policy—and by the Democrat ic party the nomination of Franklin Pierce, and the adoption of an out and out Free Trace plat form—we see that the united British press without respect to party,-aclvocate the election of Franklin Pierce, the candidate who carries out Free Trade, in other words, who Eldirr ewes British instead of American interests. In consequence of the reduction of duly_ on Iron occasioned by the tariff of 1846, more than one half of the Iron Works in the United States have either failed or stopped operations, and the importation of Iron nas enormously in creased. Now that our works have stopped, destruction scattered over the whole country, an election corn - es on; we see the American people arrayed against each other, with Gen. Scott, the Tariff candidate on one side, and Franklin Pierce, the Free Trade candidate on the-other. The British press has also entered the field against Gen. Scott. British gold is freely distributed for electioneering purposes—doubt ing that gold will not secure their ends ; they hit upon a deep laid plan, which may, if not properly explained and understood accomplish' their aims. ft is this: Our readers will have I noticed the constant rise in the price of Iron,i and within the last few weeks, it actually is I I said to have advanced from 20 to 30 per cent, arid in order to give publicity to this enormous rise in the price of Iron, the British importers and dealers are giving public notice of this fact. 'American voters ! are you again to be bam boozled by this British plan ? Friends, believe it not—the country can be flooded with British Iron in the hands of [finish Imparters, and this ruse is played in order to throw dust in your eyes, and make it appear as if your own man ufacturers need no additional protection. Iron in England, has not advanceo one cent, on the contrary, the old country is flooded with Iron and they know not what to do with it. We say again, Americans, Whigs or Democrats, or' whatever you may call yourselves, beware of British influence ! Follow the principles•of the illustrious Jackson, become a little more Amer , I icanized, spurn British inflnanoo, and on Tees day the 2d of November next, vote for Gen WINFIELD SCOTT, the vindicator of Ameri• can rights and protective principles Go to Work You, Patriots of the war of 1812 ; you, whose name and lame are part and parcel of your country's glory; you who wore companions in arms with Gen. Scott, and who with him made the proud Cross of England trail in the dust; you who were with him and knew him. Let not those who dare to call him a coward now triumph. co TO WORK ! Von, gallant spirits, who were with him in that last and bloody Ft rife with Mexico; yon, who felt the spirit or his master mind, as he marked ant the toilsome and terrible campaign, and plainly pointed out, in every feature, how he would triumph; you, who were. with him in the siege of Vera Cruz ; you, who heard his command as he bade you march up Cerro Gordo's heights, and to victory ; you, who toil ed with him over Mexico's burning sands and mountain steeps; you, who with him born our starry banner up Chepultepec, at Contreras, at Cherubusco, on the more fatal field of Molino del Ray, and through the gates of the city of Aztects, and saw it wave over the Capitol. GO TO WORK ! Von, who love the men who thus peril life, forego comfort, and abandon their homes and their loved ones around their hearth. Would you save them front the assaults of party de famers, who hope and core only for party sun. resm, and will sacrifice their love of country, and of their country's defenders, that they and their party may enjoy the — "spoils rf "party."— If you would GO TO WORK. The Simple question. Blackwood's Magazine, a leading organ of the tory party in Great Britain, thus fairly states the question which is to be practically decided he t ween the manufacturing interests of the Uni ted States and those of Great Britain : r•The manufacturers of America CANNOT EXIST UNDER • COVIPETITION WITH ENG• LAND, WITHOUT A HIGHER TARIFF, and the simple question is whether mannftdurers shall cease or not ?" This is the very question to be derided on Tuesday the 2d ef November next. Grunt Bri tain understands it well, and is doing her ut most to induce the United States to abstain from the enactment of a higher tariff. The Whigs of the United States understand it too, and have long endeavored to maintain a tariff, for the protection of our manufacturers. But the Lofoc o oo party do not understand it; or if they do, they are determined that our manu facturers shall be ruined by competition with England. ft is well understood in England that the Locofocos are in favor of British inter eats. The London Times, Manchester Exam bier, European Times and London Leader have all stated in the plainest terms, their desire for the election•of Pierce, because .they say,', he will, as President, prove "a valuable, practical ally of the commercial policy of England."— Remember this, friends of Protection! .Mississippi. A son of tha Wolverine State writing front Tippah county, Mississippi, lays: Dim'l despair of Mississippi ; at least ten Demo. crate out of every one hundred refuse to , support i'isnos.

Tavern Stand for Sale.—Oar columns to day contain the sale of a valuable tavern stand and paw-mill, in North Whitehall township, Lehigh county, the property of Mr. William Walp.- The stand for a business man is one but seldom offered, and is worthy the attention of buyers.

For particu lars see advertisement in another column.- The British Want Pierce Elected. In the London Dispatch, of September 6th, we find the following article, which we commend to the serious attention and consideration of every voter:, 'The two parties of the Republic. Whig and Democrat—that is, Conservative and Progres sive, Protectionists and Free Trader—appear to have marshalled their forces, and selected their candidate for the coining election. Every Eng lishman, of almost every CIRSI, rejoices in the expectation of success for the Democratic Pro - gressive Free Trade party.' Why is it so? Why do the English rcjoice• at what they think the prospect of the free trade British interest. party, and its candidates, Pierce' and King 1 Why? because they know that Gen. Scott, like Gen. Jackson, thinks American. citizens ought to be so far Americanized Iliac they will foster, encourage, and promote the• manufacturers of our own country, instead of sending to England for everything but bread- . stuffs, thus building up British manufactures at the expense of American interests. On the oth er hand, they know that Pierce is opposed to the developement of the resources of this country.— They know that he is opposed to the system of River and Harbor improvements ; and.. above all, they know he opposes the principle of pro tection, and i,s..losirous of placing the labor of thieeonntry on a level with the starvation, pail. per labor of Europe, to compel them to work in our shops and factories at the same price, or, it' they cannot do that, to compel them to quit their business and turn farmers and peonucers. Now, we do not blame England or her states men editors, fir desiring this state of things. It is just what they want. It brings us to a state of dependence on them for a supply of our manu. factored articles. It keeps us hewers of wood, threshers of grain, and feeders of hogs, &c., for their benefit. They take just so much of these things as they cannot pri.duce at home ; and as this is always many millions of dollat s less than, under this system, we buy of them, they are always willing to take the balance in our clean, bright California gold, nr, what is of ten preferred, our railroad stocks, that pay 'a good round interest. Of course, they w an t to have this sy stein of free trade ! It fills their cid fees. It gives abundant employment fur their capital and their operatives. It makes a mar ket for their produce at home; all of which is very desirable, very nice to diem. But what shall we think and say of the patri otism of an American who advocates and urges this English system in their midst 1 What shall Al l;P dt; and say about this British scheme, aided and abetted by Locofocos, and headed by Frank Pierce? What do Irishmen say of this British system 7 Did they leave Ireland and settle here and help British Lords being us to this? What are now Americans! What have they to say about helping on their old oppressors 'I We shall probably know their answer at the ballot box. They don't go in fur this British party in America. Noble Sentiment • I said to them that a man travelling through - this State would nowhere he without a school.' house or church of God under his eye; and where• these go together, good faith and public credit are inevitable.

Scott in reply to the welcome of the citizens of Dayton, the , foregoing sentiment, as one worthy to be engraven on the American mind, and to'be cherished as a moral axiom by a people who regard the diffusion of knowledge as a public benefaction, and whose institutions rest upon the fotindations of civil and religious liberty.
