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

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.

On Tuesday, the 2d November is the
day upon which you are expected, by
the whole country, to turn out to the
polls and cast your votes for one of the
most . gallant, chivalric, wise and patri
otic of American citizens—a man who
has served you in perilous times and
who has ever maintained as more
priceless than his own life, the honor
and renown of his native land ! 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

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

ufacturers need no additional protection. Iron

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."—

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

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
