DEMOCRATS! TURN OUT!
For the first time, in many year;, the Democrats of
~Allegheny county have a certain prospect of electing
their candidates. Ever since the great "Coon Hunt"
of 1840, our opponents have been sinking under a
:spewing weakness," and our success this year, ander
the usual circumstances of campaigns, was more than
probable. But the intestine broils nf tbe federal coons,
which are necessary and unavoidable consequences of
union for "spoils" alone, as their's has always been,
has rendered this probability an actual certainty. All
that is require...lto seal our triumph is a reasonable share
of activity and firm fidelity to our ro,g-ularly nominated
candidates. La us, then, in the most earnest manner
urge upon our Democratic fellow-citisens the strong ne
cessity for turning oat in their whole strength, and ma
king an undivided stand for the WHOLE TICKET!
Your candidates are every way worthy of your sup
pert—as citizens they are deserving and highly, esteem
ed—ea Democrats their soundness anitheir firm deco
tioa to the principles, ;nen and measures of the party
cannot be seccessfully questioned.
WiLietset Waits s, our candidate for Congress is
well known to every citizen in the county. He has
spent along and useful life among them; has served
drat in many important and honorable stations, and,
in every capacity has discharged the trust confided to
him, totho honor of himself and the advantage of his
constituents. While a representative of the district
'he was active and vigilant in attending to the interests, )
l and untiring in his advocacy of every measure that
would benefit its industrious population. His course
-in Congress was not only approved by the members of
Ili own party, but many of his political opponents
.complimented him in the warmest terms fur the sup- 1
port he gave to measures, the SLICCCA3 of which all
- Pittsburghers believed to be of vital importance to the
industry of the country He was among the ear:iest
and most zealous advocates of a protective tariff, and
so well was he known as a champion of this measure,
-*ache was appointed President of the Tariff Conven
tion which met in New York in 1831,—n body which
contained as delegates, some of the most distinguished
statesmen of the country. It is unnecessary to say,
that at home, among konest men, his devotion to the I
principles of protecting domestic industry, has never
bean doubted. The first place among the advocates I
of that measure has always been conceded to him, end
such reliance has always been placed in the honesty of '
Isis motives and the influence of his efforts, that in all
movements on the subject it has been the public de
sire that he should take a prominent part. It is pos
sible that in the next Congress the Tariff will want all
the able and influential friends that can be brought to
its aid. Its enemies, powerful, eloquent and bold,
will assail it, and it wits require learned., experienced
and unflinching friends to defend it. Among all the !
statesmen of Pennsylvania, none can be found more l
equal to the task than Wteetsst Mettles. Learned
and experienced in debate; thoroughly acquainted
with the difficulties of the subject, fully convinced of its
great importance to the interests of his constituents, and
honestly devoted to its success, he would have more
powers() protect the industry of the country and ben
fit the people of his district than any other man that has
ever been before the people for teir support. Of this
.we believe the honest voters of the district are fully
convinced, and that by casting their votes for%Vttt.t sst
Wtexies on next Tuesday, they will secure to them
selves an enlightened representative who will faithfully
watch over the interests of his constituents.
The nominees for Senate are not generally known
to the people. Mr. Nect.EY, however, the Democrat
ic candidate, has many personal friends in this county
who bear strong testimony to his private worth. His
political course has consisted in uniform devotion to
Democratic principles, and contrasts advantageously
with the shuffling, doubling policy of his competitor,
Mr. Sut.i.tvan. Mr. NEGLEY'S majority in Butler, I
will, we are assured, be respectable, and with a little ea-
Autism, it can be much increased in Allegheny.
ELIJAH Tnov mt.°, the gallant old soldier of the
last war, is again, and for the Last time, a candidate for
the support of his fellow citizens. His enemies, know-
Mg that his worth and honesty malt° him invalnera
` ble totlireet attacks, -have itsselysought to injure him
by holding him responsible for the imputed faults of
otirers. Could they resort to a surer method of con
vincing the people that he is above roproac'll He is not I
arraigned upon trial for his own errors, but for the
presumed malfeasances of his friends or relatives. It
is unnecessary to saythzt this course is unfair and un
less; and we do not believe that any democrat will do
In gross en act of injustice as to oppose him on such
-mitts. Col. TROYILLO is poor, yet the people are
awl to withhold their support from him becau se
said Wale of his Meade are in good circumstances!—
No better arguments than these are used against him—
it were au insult to boot} souse of the people to sup-
pose they could be effeetatsi in defeating our candidate
for Sheriff.
GEORGE. Ft. RIDDLE ii the D.;m
.rzrttic nominee foe
Prothonotary. His consistency and firmnesias aDem
ocmt are known to all. His qualifications for the office
arc equal, if not superior to those of any man in the
county. And we can confidently ask for hint not only
the warm support of his party, but that of all who
are governod in giving their scdfra,ges, solely by the ca
pacity and private worth of the candidate.
On our Assembly ticket will be lotted the names
four as good democrats and honest man as the county
contains. In all those qualities which command the
respect and su?port of the voter, their friends fearless
iychallenge a comparison with all their competitors.
For the remainder of our candid ties, it is only no
cessary to say that they are honest and capable men,
eminently deserving of the support of their patty and
of the people at large. Taken altogether, we do not
believe the democrats of Allegheny ever nominated a
better ticket than the one they now present.
With such a ticket, and with the inducements Which
present themselves at this crisis, what democrat can
remain lukewarm or inactive? He who could be false
to his party at such a time. should he marked as un
worthy of future trust. Let every true democrat exert
himself as if the i 3311.3 of tho trial depended on himself
alone. If any man should think for a moment of vo
ting fur the coon candidates, let him pause and look for
ward to the consequences of putting them in office—let
him consider that in so doing ho can only gratify feel
ings of personal resentment for the time, while ho may
do his principle; and his party a ivarmancut injury.—
Let Dam3crats who think of "scratching," if any such
there'ua, ponder w‘.lll on ti2se things, and we are sure
they will calms to the conclusion to GO FOR THE
TICKET, THE WHOLE TICKET, AND NOTH
ING BUT Tar. TICK ET.
Pter.s.—The whig authorities of Philadelphia have
been suddenly seized with a fever for improvement,
and a large number of workmen are employed digging
holes all over the city, which the pipe layers call sewers
—an improvement ou the yarn and pipes of 1840.
The man are to be employed until after the election.
and to aid their political sagacity in discovering which
party is best entitled to support at the polls, they are to
receive one dollars day until after the 10th inst. Flow
very kind and liberal the coons are to ths workingmen
about election times, but during the balance of the
year they adopt every means to grind them down to
the starvation standard.
THE CAMPAIGN OF 184 1.—The Columbus (Geo.)
Timor, in anticipation of din Presidential contest of
1844, asks: Where will our opponents go for political
capital—to what resort for the means and instruments
of excitement? To the Log Cabins, Hard Cider and
Coon Skins? And if they do, what will become of
it? The novelty attendant upon such exhibitions. has
lost its charm—and the fruits promised in 1810, of
all the parade—where are tbcy? be sounded in
tones of thunder by the deluded and confiding? There
will be no opportunity for new issues; the NVhie,s will
find their time occupied in accounting for broken pledg
es and violated promises. They can wage no ntren
sire war; defensive operations will occupy their time
exclusively. Th 3 worn out a-ti thread-biro themes
of corruption, of ignorance and maladministration,
will pall on the public ear and sicken the public mind.
Where, then, will they go for political capital?
The Cincinnati coons are making desperate el
fort to d3feat Dr. DuscAtt, ati3 knowing that they
cannot do it in a fair contest before the people, they
have offered their party for sale t..) any dein Jena who
will corn- nut as an independent, against the regular
nominee of his party. They are negotiating a bargain
with a General HAINES, and they think that he may
answer their purpose, but some of the more indepen
dent of their own party kick against the transfer, and
object to be sold like cattle in the stuimhles, to the
highest balm-. No portion of the democratic party
give any countenance to the project, but all unite e ith
zeal an I harmony on Doctor DUNCAN, and they will
elect himin spite, of all the efforts of di-er.mnizers.
YELLOW FEVER 1.1 .Moatt.s.—The Mobile Tri
bune says that this disease is evidently spreading in
that city, eight eases having been reported for the two
days ending on the evening of the 221.
Ray. MR. VAN ZANDT.W. H. Seward has writ
ten outs very able defence of this gentleman. The
Tribune says it seems to exonerate him entirely from
the serious charges on which he was convicted at Ro
chester by a Jury, though acquitted by an Ecclesiasti
cal Court.
Swett..—The Phila. Sun says,—"The difrerence
between the old and new coinage of gold, is owing to
the depreciation of the latter by the Mint alloy. The
new coinage is seldom exported; but the old being e
equal to sterling English gold, is always in demand at
a small per tentage above its intrinsic value. This
policy of debasing the coin, in order to keep it in the
country, partakes too much of Gothic ignorance, to be
allowed long to disgrace our statute book: and indicates
to what extravagant expedients a people will resort,
who do not appreciate the value of the simple elements
of true political economy; which teach, that a specie
currency can only be retained in a country by the great
magnet industry; enforced by economy of consumption
and frugality in the importation of foreign luxuries
A country that would debase its coin, from the love of
luxury or idleness, would hesitate at no expedient to
evade the principles of nature. We hope that our
next Congress will wipe this blot from our law books,
and reinstate the gold coinage in its pristine worth
and value. If we cannot be prosperous, without re
sorting to dishonest expedients, let us continue poor,
till poverty instructs us in the truth of arriving at
riches."
FALSE COIN.HtLif cents are in circulation silver
ed over so as to resemble quarter dollars.
COUNTERFE tr s .—T he Cincinnati Enquirer says that
a quantity of counterfeit St. Louis city scrip is in circu
lation about the mauth of the Ohio, and up the river as
fur as Louisville. They are the plates which were sto
len, and are marked on the face with the denomination
of the note in red ink. The city never issued bills
marked thus. Three men were imprisoned a few days
since at Cairo, for passing notes of this description.—
Our river men should be careful or they may be taken
in with some of this "convenient currency."
PROFITABLE. PRACTICE.—An Englistepaper says
that Sir %V Follettl l nctted, hi special retainers, nt the
Exeter assizes, £4,000 in foes, and without diminish
ing his ardinarratterition to the interests of his con
stituents.
PnastnErr HattaisoN.—The people of Cincinnati
are about aduriag measures to crest a monument to
the memory of President Harrison.
SANDWICH ISLANDS.—The American population
of the Sandwich Islands is 400, exclusive of 119 half
breed children. Fifty-seven Americans have married
native wive±,.
Messrs. Editors:—l notice in a rec,nt "Beaver Ar
gils*" that the editor thinks that one of you must be
some kin to Rip Van Winkle, and has been napping
it for some years, as you had Hot discovered that James
Clarke, the old, experienced, competent and honest
Canal Commissioner, and present candidate, had made
use of corrupt means to advance and retain in office,
his political friends, during the period ho filled that
honorable station. It is true that in 1839 the Argus,
"solitary and alone," had the honor of charging Mr.
Clarke with placing on the Beaver Division, "five hun-
dred Westnsorelanders," "all men in buckram," fortho
purpose of controliug. the election in Beaver County.
And now the Argus has the unblushing impudence to
refer to its own false statement, as proof agatnst as hon
est a man as ever breathed. If there is one feature in
the character of James Clarke, of Indiana, stronger than
another, it is his undeviating integrity, his unflinching
firmness in the faithful discharge of his duties. The
editor knows this charge to be false—the whole commu
nity knew it to be false. Mr. Kerr, the popular Su
pervisor of the Beaver Division, at the time alluded
to, showed the Beaver Argus, and the world at large,
that instead of "500 Westmorelandens " there was not
one Westmorelander" employed on the whole line at
the time referred to by the Argus. However, this is
only one of the editor's falsehoods, magnified five hun
dred times.
Mr. Clarke is known to be an honest man: the case
with which the whole ticket will be elected, is worm
wood and gall to this Falstaff of the Argus.

DEAD BODIES FOUND IN I3.IRRELS
o:ricers Brown and Cockfair yesterday afternoon
discovered on board the steamboat North American,
for Albany, two pork barrels containing thr,e dead
bodies,: two females and one male, and brought them
to the dead house in the Park. where the bodies were
examined by Dr 'ache. The barrels were direc
ted to "A. W. Hyde, Whiteha:i. N. Y. via LiakiT's
Line; Troy." intended to be sent by that line to White
hall. Dr. Yacht- and officer Racket, (the latter was
formerly Deputy Keeper of Blackwell's Island.) re
cognized two of the bodies 113 convicts of the Peniten
tiary, and the D kitor gives it as his opinion that tic
hodits were intended for dissection in some c
near the place of intended de:tin:llion. The bodies
were nor decomposed. O t i,the hack of one of the la
bel.; of direction W 34 prffited "Whiting, & Pratt. Sur

The Coroner will investigate the whole matter to-day.

FATHER NI VITHEW AND THE PRESS.
It seems that Father Matthew has met with some
little opposition in one or two of the towns of England.
At one place, in reply to some abuse that had been
heaped upon him, ho said: "Ho was not to be influen
ced or intimidated by the scandal and obloquy, which
was attempted to be cast on his motives, but he was
ready to bear anything for the sacred cause of total ab
stinence. In coming forward as he had done, he was
aNvare of the calumnies to which be would be subject
ed, but had triumphed over them, and he could declare
with truth, that be had no other object in view, than
the promotion of the happine3s of mankind, and the
glory of God. Some persons called his mission a eon
! spiracy. If it were so, it was only a conspiracy
against the use of intoxicating drinks. 'Ray Zair,'
Ihtweiterated theseseptiments, and, in tltte course of an
hour, administered the pledge to more than five hun
dred persons, among whom were several of the Jew
ish
persuasion. In reference to some remarks relative
to the newspaper press, made by a clergyman present,
Father Matthew took occasion to say, that next to
God, to the support he had met with from the most
mighty moral power on this earth, the public press, did
he attribute the success which had attended the great
moral movement, "total abstinence." In Ireland, with
one solitary exception, the whole press had been in his
favor, and in London they all knew the powerful sup
port he hid received by the public press of all shades
lof opinion; and he thus publicly tendered his grateful
thanks to those who had the control of every metropo
litan daily journal."

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION OF THE
A correspondent of the N. V. Journal of
furnishes the followingintert‘sting details respecting the
commerce and navigation of this country:
WA. , IIIN3TON, Sept. 27, 1843.
The annexed statements of the commerce nod navi
gation between the United States and foreign countries,
in the year ending on the 30th September, 1842, have
been recently made. but are not yet printed:
EIPORTS.—Thc exports timing the *ear amounted

mestic, and $11,721.538 of foreign articles. Of do

OP The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser winds up
a long and good article on the "Price of Bread stuffs,"
for which we have not room, with the following advice
to Farmers
'Our advice to wheat growers is: sell your crop as
soon as convenient, at the best price you can obtain.
Do not take the risk 'of holding on till another season,
or of sending yourwbeut or flour to an Eastern market.
on your own account. Take your money to your home
market, expend a portion of it in adding lime, char
coal, and other manures to your wheat fields that you
may add fifty per cent, to their products next season:
Make your money by skillful farming, and leave trati•
ing. and speculation in breadstufs to others, who have
nothing else to attend to. The competition between
these usually too bold and sanguine operators, will se
cure to you, on the whole, better prices than you could
realize if you bad the whole business to yourselves.—
This division of labor and capital is essential to your
prosperity. Adopt, then, the principle, which is no less
than benevolent, 'live and let live."

The sales at the Stock Board last week were unusual
ly large. The bonds of Pennsylvania seemed to be
quite in demand. It is evident that the spirit of spec
ulation is at work. Almost every thing in the shape of
stocks improved sorapidly on Wednesday and Thurs
day, that a reaction was looked for b. many. We trust
sincerely that the expectations which seem so general
ly entertained, that Pennsylvania will, tattle next meet
ing of her State Legislature, make provision for the
payment of the interest on her debt, will be fully reali
zed. Still it is but right to add, that no plan having this
object in view, has yet beets announced to the public
I from any authoritative or responsible quarter. Many
appear to think that something will certainly be. dune,
but all are puzzled to say what. We mention one
gratifying fact in connexion with this subject. It is
that at the general election which is to take place in
Pennsylvania on Tuesday next, note, Repudiation Can
didatc,that we are Aware of, will be in the field.
STOC I{ .I.—The United States Gazette says:—"The
amount of stock heldby, or itypodwzatel to the Banks
in New York, roaches the enormous sum of ten mil
lions of dollars, and a large portion of the loans on
these stocks, are payable on demand, and liable to be
called in at any moment- Should any thing occur to
induce the bank to call in these loan; even to the ex
tent of half a million, or a million of dollars only, a
sudden and heavy fall in the price of the stock hypoth
ecated must be the inevitable consequence, as well a_;
a general decline in all descriptions."
