ARE TOD ASSESSED' All persons saw are not assessed ten days be• fore the election, are deprived of a vote. Let ev ery Wing voter tee to this at once. He can exam ine the lists put up at the places of election, and ascertain whether his name is down or not. We lose several votes every year in the Wards, from this cause, and a friend from the country ta farms us that the same is the case these. THE GOVERNOR 'S ELECTION We have been for some weeks carefully endea voring to arrive et the true state of public sent-- meat in the dill - event Sections of the State, in nil,. don to the Governor's election, and we have come to the deliberate conclusion that if the strong Whig counties come up tutheir majorities in 1834, we shall elect our candidate by a handsome majority We cannot tell all the reasons which have led us to thin conclusion, but it has been well weighed, and it is deliberately expressed. The race is in the bands of the Whig, if they chaise to win it; bat it cannot be mon,without an effort. If the old Whig counties, inch as Lancaster, Somerset, Allegheny, Adams, doe., will give as large a majority for John ston as in Markle, al! is safe. And we think they will. The right spirit is abroad, and if we work, seer*, woad, until the day of election, the victory Is aura In Lancaster county the best feeling prevails.— Thaddeus Stevens has taken the stump, and la do- WI; great execution. The editor of the Unton, speaking of certain districts which he lately visit ed, in that county, says that for a period of twenty yews, daring which be has been engaged in poli does, be has never witnessed a mote healthy feel ing in the Whig ranks, more harmony, and a firm er resolve to 'pare no pains to carry the State. From Somerset county the newa is truly refresh. /lig. In no part of the State does the political feel ing. ran higher than in that gallant liuk county.— The editor of the Herald, In his last paper, makes the Wowing statement ' Lao week, having been Court week, we had an opportunity of converting with persona from all parts of our county, who, without a tingle excep tion were of the opinion, that Somerset could, and wail give Old Zach,Jack Ogle, and the whole Whig Ticket, from eighteen hundred to two thousand znajorityll' Well done, for Somerset—the is truly the ' Star of the West,' and a ' oar that never seta' In Tair and Huntingdon counties, the Wtug Eve burns with a clear and steady blase. The nomi. nation of Johnston us received with joy; and from present appearances there will be an increased Whig majority. Cambria county looks well. Both Taylor and Johzunon- will receive Looofoco votes, and run ahead of the ticket Zln Adams county the Whigs are working vigor cesly. A Whig Mw Meeting will be held in Get. tyabuag on the 22d instant. The names of Thad deus Stevens, James Cooper, William R Reed, Charles Gibbons, Edward Baltzell, and J. D. Ro.. man, are advertised to be present and speak. Ad. anis county will not he behind. In Washington aunty, we are delighted to lee that the Whip are working with remarkable vigor. We brve good hopes of WashlogUm. Governor Johnston will run well in all the Nor. them and Western comities. Wherever he is known he is liked, and he will make formidable inroads into the camp of the enemy. In Arm. strong county, the Locofocos have usually about 550 majority. We have reliable assurances, that we may depend upon a small majority for Johns. ton. This will annitulate one fourth of Shook'. majority over Markle. Westmoreland county will do better for the Whig cause than ever babes.— Mr. Johnston is deservedly popular and well known In that county, and mazy of the Looofocos are its. satisfied with putting a Man up On Governor 'about they have just voted kit for Canal Commissioner, and who has done nethids to deserve the honor.— In Fayette we shall do better than tme. The Whip there fight with a determination which no. thing can overcome. ,We might go over the State, in this way, and gather up mbstaatial reasons far enecar. nilpoent, but let we, wow to inor own coup. What agl'or,tik4,lUrpf,'..'ciiireitireethatisand nOten*prona. 'Wetagajtilltintwitboutwerie. ing for it, and working hard too. This is one oF the Whig counties, which mum come up to bet majorities in '46 to secure the State for Johnston, and when so much is depending upon our 'ette't , gotta, them should be corresponding energy put forth- We can elect oar Congress man, and our county ticket with but little earn, but to secure oar Governor, we want every Whig vote in the coun ty.. So kw, there is more feeling and animation in the townships and boroughs than in the eiuea— We have good accounts from many of our strong holds, in most of which there will be an increased Whig majority. We have no fear for the town ships, and if our active city Whip will do their duty in arominerm aid canvassing the wards, between this and the day of the election, Alleghee my county will not be ashamed of her vote. The object is truly a glorious one, and well worth struggling for. To elect a Whig Governor, in an even fight, in the aforetime Locofoco State of Pennsylvania, is no small matter, and such a prospect ought to command our most devoted en. ergies. Sot, if we carry the State for Johnston, we shall also carry it for Taylor, and thus secure his election beyond a peradventure. Who among the Whigs will not give his exertions for a few days for such glorious objects as these? A Goon Wrve.—A. friend of our's who had been spending a "few weeks in the *country' and who visited some of the private dwellings of the rustle inhabitants, tells:of a singular old man who lives near Brookfield. He is somewhat noted for his odd expressions. He was one day visited by a small party of Ladies and gentlemen, who went to hear his "talk." "Now young gentlemen," said he, "I will give you some directions how to tell a good wife. A good wife will be like three things, and she will nes be like them. She will be like the snail who stays at home, and she will not he like the snail who carries all he has on his back. She will be like the echo, that speaks when spoken too, and she will not be like the echo, always to have the tact mord. She moll be like the town-clock, that speaks at the right time, and she will not be like the town-clock heard ail over town. Say, Mrs. just rend the above estritet.— Did you over think while spinning street yarn, run ning from ,shop to shop, and buying nothing, that you wasn't obit like a snail.? Did you ever dream that when you got on your ten petticoats, bustle and out riders, you were Just like a snail? And you, Mrs. T—, did it ever occur to you that while fretting and wronging your husband, by your everlasting scolding, that you were like an echo, which will always have the last word?— How amiable to say l wont —you did and you did'at! And then there is one worthy neigh bor—Mrs. C—, who calla so loud as to be heard all over town—did she ever imagin4 that she was like a town clock? Conscience, what a thought! A woman like a town clock' What a hammer her tongue mast be' We hope the ladies will take the Old Man's comparisons is good part, and profit withaL CLEVYLVID, COLEYBUS, sin Crccrrvsrt RAILROAD —We understand, gays the Cleveland Herald, that the Directors of the Cleveland, Columbus. and Cm , &naafi Railroad Company have de‘ided to locate the road on the Western route, provided the sub acriptions on that hoe are put into an acceptable shape. It is understood that the subscriptions for stock fur this great work now nearly equal the esti mated cost of putting the whole road in working order, iron excepted, and that no doubt now exists that the small remaining balance will be made up in a few days, and a contract for the construction of the entire work at once closed.—C.A.in Store Journal. With the above named contemplated road, which tins now such promising prospects, the Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail Road is intended to connect, some where near Wooster, or most likely welt of that place. When there improvements are once made, in connection with the Central Road to Phil adelphia, Pittsburgh will be possessed of unnvril led rail road facilities, extending from the Minium to the great Lakes, and penetrating the heart of the richest agricultural districts in the world. to such an event it is not at all unreasonable to pre. diet that real estate in the two cities will increase in value more than the cost of the Western Rood, to soy nothing of the great impetus it will give to every description of business, and the nob return. it will afford to the stockholders. =:SE=I!! Annul Tutarr nut Houses Bus-Nun—A slip from the office of the Miners' Journal, dated Mon. day morning, 3 o'clock, says:— At 11 o'clock last night (Sunday) a Ere broke out to the ked store of Mr. Charles Moll, on Rail road street, which almost instantaneously com municated with the adjoining buildings, and in the course of three hours the entire square was redu ced to ashes. We append a hat of those who have suffered by this disaster, and may add that the destruetton has been complete. The fire broke out at Molt's feed store. corner of Railroad and Callowhill streets, which it destroyed. Patrick Fogrrly's store, Patrick Carry's tavern. Geo.

The loss cannot fall short of $100.000; about $30,000,0r more, is insured in Franklin and Spring Garden Into mace Conpanies, of Philadelphia. and the Lycom. Log Insurance Company. Senator Corwin spoke four hours to the people of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on the 2d i nst. In reference to this speech, the Zanesville Courier remarks! "It is needless to say that the arguments and el oquence of that glorious Wtug and, beyond all n valry, champion of Free Soil, Tom Corwin, fell with irresistable power upon his auditors.. To the question last referred to, he devoted the . greater part of his speech, and we must confess tont we could not see, after hearing him, what reaaanan4 plea, or by what plausible excuse, the Whig voter who in his attachment to the principle of Freedom is even disposed to make all other questions ondary to it, or to seek its support under an nada. ted organization. can justify himself in deserting the ranks ache friends of Old Zack Taylor. He conclusively vindicated—and we mean what we say--the position of our candidate as that of the can didate not only most likely to aid in securing Freedom to all that it ardently desires, but nit.- !task eartosn, with the aid of a true and united Congress, to accomplish that end. Objections to General Taylor, on the score of principle, no well as regularity in nomination,— all the objections, indeed, that the most aura Whig has ever raised with even n bare show of reason. he took up, one by one, and shivered to the wind. We believe no bolting Whig "Free Soder," could hear a speech like that, rind remain, for another instant, in a position so unjust to himself - and dangerous to the safety of ids cause. 1111POItT ANT RUMOR. A gentleman Just from Balumore brings intelh ammo that Mr. McLane had been mmapeiled to withdraw from the Presidency of the Raltuoore Railroad, and that it was designed to abandon the Wheeling mute, and bring the road to Pittsburgh. Our informant suited that the intelligence reached Cumberland by telegraph, previous to his leaving. We give it as a rumor. which, whether it proves true or false, a a course which wisdom dictates, and which we think toe sensible people of BMus more will finally pursue.

A. H Stephens resulted in the commitment of Judge F. H. Cone on a charge; of "assault with intent to murder," and the bail was fixed at glo,ooo, which Mr. Cone gave, and ,on after left Atlanta. Mr. Stephens was still doing well at the latest amounts. He bar six wounds and the pona of the knife is supposed to be in his chest, broken off by a rib. Hon. Ralph J.

New Yanr , Sept. 12th ISt& The -,order of the night is at present political meetings in all parts of the city, to complete the or pulsation, prior to the Presidential election. The feeling of indifference which has bees shown by some Whigs, has given place to an enthusiasm as great as ever was shown in any campaign. The Clay demonstration is forgotten, or remembered only to be condemned, and this too, by those who lent the scheme their efficient aid. Another fovor. able sign of the times, is the return of the able editor of the Tribune to his post, and not only to his post, but to his old allegiance to the great Whig party, of whose principles he has ever been one of their boldest and most able defenders. lie has been the last man to desert the fortunes of Mr. Clay, bet he will strike many a good blow for the old Coon before the November election. Our sistercity of Brooklyn has been visited by a fire as disastrous to her, as any of the fires have been to the other large cities of the Union. Eight blocks of buildings, including four churches are a heap of rums, and some three hundred families houseless, except for the kindness of neighbors.— The amount of insurance already ascertained is near half a million of dollars, and the total loss will make eight hundred thousand dollars, falling chief ly upon persons of moderate means. The week past witnessed the failure of eight houses in the dry goods trade. Some of them very bad ones. One house in business two years, shows debts $71,000 and asserts $14,0011 another one pays seventy per rent, another twenty-five, while the others make hardly a show of payment. A .large business has been done to dry• goods within e month, and more sold then will ever be paid for. Ilia a general remark that a small business has been done for cash. Some houses pretending to do a strictly cash business, say that had they ad. bored to their rule, they would not have made their store expenses. The truth is, that competition is so great here, that the reckless unsound merchants control the business of the solvent nod prudent men, causing an amount of overtradingthat is fatal alike to buyers sod sellers. The result of the election in Vermont, is the sub ject ofunivereat congratulation with the Whigs, as it bas shown just how far free soil agitauon will weaken Gen. Taylor. It is now Mond that the effervescence produced in the Whig ranks in times past, by the abolition question, has cleared us of all the doubtful men, and len none but those who feel certain that 'freedom of soil can be ob tained sooner under an honest Whig administra. non, than through the operations of a class of men who have but one idea not fully developed. From Maine we have nothing yet, but some good must mime from that quarter, as many who have acted with the abolitionists have returned to the Whig ranks. Money is sensibly dearer, and no good paper can be sold under ten per cent. and one and a quar• er per cent a month is oftener paid. Short loans secured by Treasury notes, seven per rent. and not abundant. Dealers in breadstuff. are waiting the arrival of the next steamer, and in rather an anxious state. Flour has gone bacleto 56,12$—an advance of one shilling on the last steamer news. A good deal of corn on ship-board, has been resold at two or three cents decline. which is rather an unfavorable sign. As soon as the steamers news will allow the mills to work, we shall have an abundance 0f dour at lower rates, large sales having been made for fu• tore delivery at less than the current rates. At the quarantine ground the Fever continue. its ravages and quite a number of deaths are report. ed, some of them of people in the better walks of life.

To she Edttoro of the I'ausborgh From the statements of me flarnburners, given to the public, through the medium of the press, in reference to uncomprointeing opposition to the great evil of Slavery. the uninitiated might he Induced to believe, that the adherents of Van Buren and Ad. ants are the oat; genutn- anti Slavery men in the country. This. though a seemingly reasonable. would be a very erroneous conclusion. The B•rc burners, in their unguarded moments, not noire queerly give utterance to sentiments which are al_ must the uniipodes of their puidtsLed erred, man- UdaettWell at the recent Convention at Buffalo, to son the present order of things. Would it nix ex cite astonishment in the mind of an ardent Whig to hear a Harnburner declare that the colored race are much happier, and far Letter peocutreefar, so far as their physical condition is concerned, as shares. than they would be if tree' This, however, is the actual opinion of perhaps a considerable majority of the Barnburners, who are not influenced m their seeming opposmon to slavery. by a desire to better Inc condition of the Nave—for this they appear to think is both mexpedient and impracticable—but to promote the social and political interests of the whites, by reudenng labor comparatively respecta. like: and, thereby. securing a full and fair equiva lent for the commodity. It is, therefore, obvious that it is the tott.rt, of the whites, rxelsuaseiy. that the Barnburners hre endeavoring to promote. and that they are tota4'p thigh -rent reqn-ting the .4r a:flan or sznprorera , n/ 01 the poor, degraded, down. trodden slaves. Now, the Whigs. to say the least, are quite as much disposed as the Barnburners. to advilnee the interests of the whites, by restncung slavery to it, present limits; but they extend their views some what farther, and are MIS desirous to improve the condition of the colored, as that of their own race. There is nothing more certain, than that the exten sion of Slavery over any portion of the free soil of the country, would be about as injurious to the 011, as to the other, and hence the Whigs are equally inclined to promote the welfare of both, by a lawful and energetic resistance of the dreaded evil. EXAMINER. Destructive Hurricane at Antigua. The editors of the Baltimore American are intletb. ed to a commercial friend bra copy Mlle Antigua Observer of the 24th August. containing the parti• culara of the destructive hurricane with etltieh that Island was visited on the 21st of that month. The storm commenced on the afternoon of that day. and increased m force until two o'clock the neat morn ing. when it sensibly abated. The accounts then proceeds to say Our tranquil island, previously studded with neat structures and populous villages, in this brief inter vat was shrive/led to a waste of ruilibtrA and roan As the day advanced, accounts of calamity came in from all directions; and it soon became evident that the destruction, both oflite and property, was worse than had been anticipated. It is supposed that throughout the ishmd there have been two thousand buildings unroofed, and seven hundred totally destroyed. By far the larger portion of these are :he cottages of the laboring classes. The damage to the Shipping appears inconsidern. ble,—attributable to the curcumstancefixof there bay ing been at the time but very few vessels In the harbor, and to the good "holding ground" of the au. &forages. Of the entire loss of life there are various rumors. The number is said to exceed 30, but authentic statements only give us information of eighteen-- chiefly, we believe, of the lobormg classes. In,. moose numbers of cattle and stook of all lands have been destroyed. The general destruct:on, including life and pro perty, ie supposed to be greeter than the losses occneioned by the earthquake of le/O, or by the humcane of 1'335. JOHN MINOR Bums, we regret to ace, Is out with a letter eating up a former letter, in which, after saying every thing Sgasnst Gen. Taylor, he p.m. ato vote for him. Now. he will not support Tar lor, because Taylor accept, the Cbaelston Low Foco norninauon. The reason is worthless, and in Mr. Botts,,,inconsistent and absurd, because prior to his pmnise to vote for Taylor, Taylor had writ. tea a aries ofjust such letters as that to Mr. Prin gle, of 8. C. On this point, from tint and to Int, the position of Gen. Taylor him been perfectly eon. sistent. "I am a Whig," he has said,—but I will accept a nomination from any body, it being always understood, when Democrats or Natives nominate ale, that I am not to carry oat their principles. Mr. Botts, we fear, has fancied that he had seen in New York a sign of rupture here, and that, therefore. he could bolt the nomination, and find companions. lie is mistaken, we assure hint, in, the calculation he puts upon New York. The low. eat vete Gen. Taylor will get here, is 25,000 more than any other candidate will get. The Clay movement arc only, in the n ain, from the men, who were going for Van Bares,—and a large ma. jority of them will vote the Whig ticket in full, by and by. Mr. Botts will ace, therefore, that his fire brand thrown among us here, in the brut of a re. sponse to the so-called Clay committee, is a fire. brand, thrown as were, into the Hudson River.— N. Y.
