No one avitiainied with the mannfactu-
Ting interests of our state, will deny that
the ilfitish Bill has checked their progress.
It lies nut yet destroyed them; but for
%vim that exemption, the credit is not due
to the authors of the British policy. Eu-
Topean famine has, for a time, buoyed us
up ; the extraordinary demand for railroad
:iron has sustained the interests connected
with it, and the energies of our benne in

against the depressing influences of the

rare; fbr a time; an unnatural value to our
produce; and this result was claimed for
the. British Bill. It was in vain that we
urgedthat this consequence was produced
by other and uncontrollable causes ; the
- cry ! the triumph of the
Tariff 0f746! But the story has chang
ed; We now find our flour bringing a
lower price that that which it commanded
under the Tariff of 1842. It now looks
solely to the hothe market, created by our
i[(rittiee' and manufactories.. At this' mo

JOSEPH W. Pervox.--The following
article is taken from the Pittsburg Chroni
cle, a neutral paper, and we commend it.
to the perusal of the candid and honest of
all parties. It is a brief, comprehensive
and eloquent defence of the character of Jo- .
aseit W. PArroN, Esq.; against the slan
ders of a corrupt Locatimo press :
"A gentleman who is now' a candidate
for Canal Commissioner was once so poor
as to be unable to pay some debts which
be had contracted. He was in conse
quence of his poverty compelled to take
the benefit of the Bankrupt Law—a resort
which thousands of honest men were driv
en to before him. Is not the humiliation
which an honest, but unfortunate man ex
periences by the reverses which overtake
him sutheiently paiaful without every
heartless wretch who edits a newspaper
throwing his misfortune into his teeth ?
What justification can any man or any
thing offer for grossly assailing one whom
poverty has placed within his reach ? Mr.
Patton is poor, very poiar, but his honesty
has never been questioned. Those who
are blinded by party rancor, should at least
remember that there are some who are
bound to the unfortunate by every sympa
thy of the human heart, and respect for
their feelings, independent of one's own
manhood, should confine villainy itself to
at least. the truth while giving vent to the
feeling of its malignant heart. "

a gentleman of that city saw in the streets
a lovely little girl of tender years standing
on the banquette bathed in tears. The
good man approached her, and taking her
by the band inquired the cause of her an
guish. The dear little creature continued
to sob bitterly, until at length she exclaim
ed: "My father and mother have been ta
ken to Heaven, and I am left an orphan."
There 1Y ere three orinore persons by at this
time, and the feelingly eloquent words of
the engaging little.one brought tears from
every eve. The worthy gentleman who
first addressed her said a few kind words'
with a view of relieving her, and then said:
"I will be to you a father, and my wife
(and no man has a better one) will greet
you with a mother's smiles.' He then
took her by the hand and carried her to
his residence. This is an achievement,
on the field of mercy, of which any good
man should be.proud.

parcels hence fur Harrisburg, Wilkes
barn, and other points on the Susquehan
na, for the purpose of supplying the local
wants of those•places: This singular freak
or trade has its explanation in the facts—.
that the wheat crop in the Susquehanna

than war reported-before harvest ; 'that
those fanners who - ' have wheat will not •

the authority of one of the must prominent Loco
locos of the country. It takes the same position
that Mr. Dastuts Ind Mr. Cstoot. 74 maintained
in the Senate, and will be found to be an unan

• STARTLING/ = DEVETAIPEMENT&--A.
bomb has been exploded within a few weeks in the
camp of our Political opponents, which thraldom
to matter to the winds what little of harmony nay
have remained among them. It may be rectilket.;
ad that a Lecofoct; 144, called the .I:htmem;atia
Champion," was stetted in Hanisbergin 1844, to
advocate the nomination-of-Mr. Savest, In oppo
mitten to Mt. Men mese arm, se the Locofixo candi
date for Governor, and that the "Champion" was
continued even alter the nomination of the latter,
and teemed - with the most bitter assaults upon Mn
Muntssaceo and his friends, The object of the
Champion was to defeat the election of Mr. Mxh-
lenbwg, and it was continued to be published until
the day of hls death, •
Circumstances, lidely coming to light, induced
the friendo_ofMr. Mohlenburg to inspect tbat the
"Champion" was sustained by Mr. Shunk, and
that the articles in it were written by several of his
confidential friends. These suspicions, it seems,
were too well founded. Mr. James B, Crangle,
A. Sprigmettr . H. Sprigman, (oil Locofoccaltta
published and edited the "Champion," upon being'
appealed to by Mr. Muhlctiburg's friends, have
made a full statement in regard the matter, and
certify THAT THE PAPER WAS UNDER
THE CONTROL OF MR. BHUNK AND HIS
FRIENDS, and that the principal articlas
.were
written by JEREZ HILLER, HENRY PCTRIKEN, J.
Settle, end other persons; now connected with
Sauces administration I '
The statement of the publishers of the "Champ
ion" a endorsed by Dr. SETH Sztreecnr, who
will be recognized as one of the most prominent
Locofocos in the State, having 'occupied the impor
tant posts of Marshall of Northern Pennsylvania
under Mr. Van Buren, Chairmin of Democratic
State Committees, State Librarian repeatedly cho
sen by his Democratic associates, Secretary of the
celebrated Lewistown Convention which first pla
ced Mr, Muhlenberg in nomination for Governor
in 1835, and Chairman of the Committee to in
form him of his nomination, Delegate of tho lath
Congressional district to the Democratic National
Convention in 1844 which nominated Mr. Folk,
and in fact one of the most active, zealous and con
sistent of his party. Dr. SALT sir a r impeding
that Mr. Sou azt had alittle too much to do with
the "Champion," undertook an investigation of the
matter, in the course of which he was put in pos
session of the onto irr•t. 111•NUECRIPT4 of the
abusive articles published in the "Champion," and
finding them to be in the hand-writing of Messrs.
Miller, Petriken, Seiler, and others, has appeared
in a.card to the friends of Mr. Muirtior enno, ful
ly endorsing the statements furnished by the
publishers of the "Champion," and publishes a
number of extracts from the OSIUINAL Maim-
scripts!
It is scarcely necessary to say that these singu
lar developentents have produced much sensation
among the friends of Mr Muldenburg, who, of
course, can scarcely he expected to givextheir sup
port to Um roviters_of-their decaaietbuldianlized
friend. •
It may be proper to state that Messrs. Miller and
Petriken, with the view of saving. it possible, the
tottering fortunes of old Hunkerism in the State ,
have met these statements with a bold and un
blushing denial; but Dr. Salisbury holds the man
uscripts in Their hand-writing, and the publishers
of't% paper hays followed up their statements by
MAKING OATH AS TO ITS TRUTH.
THE PROSPECT.—As the election draws

IF THE WHIGS WILL DO THEIR DUTY !
Nothing but their apathy or delinquency can re
elect him. Will they render him "aid and com
fort" when so large a imrtion of his own party are
done with him, and ready to stamp the seal of
their condemnation upon him 1 The friends of
Mr. Shook are themselves very well aware of his
desperate condition. To such extremities are they
driven, that they are said to have actually attempt
ed to form a coat/ion with the Nahres in the city of
Philadelphia, proposing to vote the ticket of the
latter For Mayor, if they would vote for Saes* !
Thus these pretendgd exclusive friends of our Nu.
turalized Citizens are asking for assistance from
the very men whom they stigmatized as "Churrh
burners . ' in 1844. All will not do, however; the
scalene( is already passed, and will be executed upon
them 04 Tuesday week, if the Whip do not hold
back the hands which are rained to strike.

MANLY.—The "Union Times" is one of the
few Locofoco presses in this State that hgve corn
mended the respect of the honorable ef both par
ties for its refusing to disgrace its columns and in
sult its rulers with the vile slang that un(or-
Innately finds place in so many of the Locofoco
papers. Another instance of its manly bearing
we find iu its notice of the recent Whig meeting in
Union county, which was addressed by Messrs.
Co o PER 11101 X, and POLLOCIL: We commend-the
following extinct to the attentton of sundry politi
cians-in this neighborhood:
"As to the character of their speeches,
candor compells nano say; they were libe
ral, courteous and gentlemanly. We heard
not a word of reproach against the perso
nal character of a single individual belong
ing to our party. The "odious Bankrupt
Law," as some people call it, was discus
sed, and Gen. Irvin acknowledged he vo
ted for it,.with a number of democrats who
went with him in sustaining the bill, one
of whom was Robertk Walker:- - Forour
own part, we consider this question a
mere eleetioneering humbug. What has
it, we ask, to do with the election of Fran
cis R. Shunt:, or . Gen. Irvin? Did not
membel; of both parties avail themselves
of its advantages—and while Mr. Patton
is censured for this act, is it not creditable
to know, that he has liquidated the most
of his debts, since his discharge as a Bank
rupt, if w e are to take the evidence.4-both
democrats and whigs ? We % go in for hon
esty and fairness, and if our party cannot
succeed upon these ground, we consider
ourselves as standing on a ticklish founda
tion."
WHO IS "EX I"—A correspondent of the
Mercer burg "Weekly Journal," writing over the
signature of "Ex," notices the recent literary ex
ercises of the Institutions located at this place, and,
although not too favorably impressed with some
of the speeches, compliments the fair portion of
our popUlatian in this wise:
"Hosts of ladiee—many of them beautiful--
were p'resent on this occasion. Gettysburg is con
siderably in advance of some of her neighbors, as
respects handsome ladies, and may justly boast of
posssessing a fair .proportion. of the bcautp• of the
land."
Of course the inquiry will at once be started,
"Who is "Ex?" But u it is one that more im
mediately ronceOlitte complimented, we leave it
to he settled between them and the editor of the
"Journal." "Ex" seems to have been "in good
keeping" during his stay hem—at least We infer
so from themanner in which ho speaks of 'mine
host 'filo m PSON, " of the Eagle Hotel, than whom,
it is affirmed, "there is not a more clever and o
bliging landonl in Christendom."
