The •vilest falsehoods are freely circulated by

that the tax-payers of Pennsylvania will be
so indiffrente to their own interests, as to perznit
them to succeed in their designs. The present
Board have proved themselves to be competent,
efficient and honest. The public works were nev

at e present time, as will be seen by reference to
fak • which cannot be controverted.

it is evident from the above comparative state

in their denunciation's of Wx. B. FOSTER, have
no dared, we believe, to assail ids official charac.

M. Fesxmi should be defeated, was the fact that

tirely satisfied with . the manner in which he has

13Ctober, triumphantly re elect him.
The Clarion letter Again.
the c:ilitor of the Gazette as is well known, said
and published as much as any other man in or
out Of PennsYliania, in condemnation of the course
o Mr. Clay on .the Tariff-question, yet has he the
im i pudence to misrepresent and assail the "Clarion
•
letter."
l'ae.editor nf the Gazette on the 22d of July,
142,
I"HE (CLAY) PUTS :THE KNIFE TO TILE
THROAT OF PROTECTION AND ASKS FOR •
Mi...Lp TO DRIVE IT HOME."
About two years atter Col. McCs.xns.v.ss in a
„ letter to the people of Clarion county, expressed the
oisinion that Mr. Cu.: was not sound on the tarifl
sitiestion, p.nd that if elected he.would give • , the tar.
i(j the so/fleawort {hat the rope does the hanging man
.-L-insianidaath without benvit of clergy."
• The .editor of the Gazette charged Mr. Clay with
baring "put the knife to the throat of protection," and
in order that it might be "kilt" beyond the hope of
, rlecovery, "asked for help to drire it home."
•
I Cox M'CAwnr.s.s as a legal gentlernan,we presume
knew of no law which' would authorize Mr Clay,
• t 6 cut 'the throatof protection,' and he therefore in his
liqter to the people of Clarion, said that Mr. Clay, if
-elected would -proceed , "according - to law"—,—he
would use the "rope" to. "throttle the Tariff," and
chat too "without berm& of clergy,"
The editor of the Gazette, as is well known, but
short time before the Clarion letter was written,
Wlt3 bjmself the violent opponent of Mr. CLAY, ,
upon the ground that he was not a reliable tariff
man. So well satisfied indeed was tbe editor tUt
licrlCiay ought not to be, trusted, that it actually re
fred the joint reasoning of "Fifteen hiss" to
...,change his views on the subject.
{:air4.nkr.l3.ow IN Eimatrar,Ms.ss.--Tbere was
-111 rovviin .11oxbuq. Mass., last Sunday, in front of
al church, between some laborers and the officers.
Rummas .the cause. Mr. Jeremiah Dalton, a non
-1
rcsident, who was passing at the time, was pounced
°t and beaten and, stoned so severely, that his life
despure d Of. -- - Several of the rioters - were sires-,
.::~'.
(Cr s Twenty per cent, duties, with home en/na
tion fixed by law, Which was Mr.iClay's meaning
when speaking of the Compromise Act, would af
ford much more protection than !the British bill,
and it would have this great additional recommen
dation, that it Would be stable and. certain in its
operatiorU2.
•
The Compromise Adt providedifor uniform du- .
ties of twenty percent. advalorem, Which with home
Valuation, says the editor of the Gazette, would af
ford "mink more - protection than !the act of 1846.
Mrp Clay in his speech to the pectle of Hanover,
Virginia, referred to the amount of protection whiCh
the compromise bill, with home Valuation, would
afford. Let us see whether hehelieved that it would
afford "much more protection" thari the act of 1846.
"Eat, the protection of-kbc Compromise Art, will Le
adequate in most-,--if not' Its to all, interests. The
TWENTY HER CENT which it stipidates, cash duties,
home valuations, and the list of free articles insert
ed in the act for the particular advantage of the
manufacturer, will insure, I tnist, sufficient protec
tion. Altogether they will amount, probably to not
less than THIRTY PER CET T±a greater amount
lof protection than was sec-tired primi to the act 01'18'28,
which no one stands up to ilefend."i
Mr. Clay certainly did not believe that the Com
piomise bill, with "cash duties land home valua
tion" would yield "much more proteetton” than the
act of 1840—he says, "altogether Ithey will amount
probably to not less than THIRTY PER CENT—
a greater amount of protection than was secured pri
or to the act of 1828, whirls no one stands up to
defend." Now, it so happens,i unfortunately for
the editor of the Gazette, that the act of 1846,
evies TRUITT PER CENT on iron, MO, glass, 4c.,
the precise amount which Mr. CLAY, believed the
compromise act would afford with cash duties and
a home valuation; and this thirt!A per cent, says Mr.
CLAY, is "a greater amount of protection thafi was
secured prior to the act of 1828, ichich one stands
. up to defend." The act of IS:28, which secured a
greater amount of protection than thirty per rent,
and which, says Mr. CLAY, "no one stands up to
defend," was rdpealed by the united efforts of Mr.
`CLAY and Mc. CALIIOI7:C.—ThOn it was that the
Tariff pOlicy of the country w4s unsettled—then
it was that Mr. Clay "throttled (he Tarijr—it was
then that “he (Clay,) pd the 14ife to the throat of
protection, and asked for help to drive it home."
UTI/LVES IY SIIEEII . E Ceornixo.—"We have is_
ceived•such information," says the Ilarrisburgh
Democratic Union, "as leads us to believe there
arc political missionaries traveling in various di
rections of oui• State, electioneering against the
Democratic party. The better H deceive the pco
pie, some of them profess to have been Democrats
all their lives, and to be Democrats still, except
in one thing—they cannot go livith the party in
the support of Wietakm B. Fos*Ell.Jr., the Demo,
cratic candidate for Canal Corrimissioner.
We caution the DemocracY, against such pro
fessing, Democrats. They are not to be trusted or
believed. No true member of the Democratic par
ty attempts to create division in the ranks, or
plays into the hands 'of our enemies."
CROPS AT THE SOX:TH.—The Clll7lOOOll Courier
Price Current of Sept. 1, says---“ This day is the
commencement of another commercial year, arld
in contrasting it with the one just brought to a
close, the prospect is indeed cheering. if we except
the disaster which has overtaken the Sea Island
cotton !planter, at a time, too. when his fondest
hopes seemed about to be realized. The upland
cotton Crop, on the whole, looks well; an-I the rice
fields, at the time we write, never gave greater
promise of an abundant supply. The grain crops ,
are also in a flourishing condition, and will amply
repay the toile of the husbandman. Under Each
favorable auspices, we look forward to the future
with much confidence, and anticipate a season of
general prosperity:.

POWDER MILL BLOWN Ur —An exploskro says
the Lowsoll Courier of Saturday, took Vlaoe in the
"mixing mill" of the powder establishment of
Oliver M. Whipple, Esq., of that city, about a
quarter of one o'clock, on the afternoon previous,
There were about thirty casks of powder in the
'building. The roof and sides were blown of but
the frame was not much injured. The hands were
all at dinner, and no one was killed or injure:l.
The explosion made but little noise, and was not
even heard at Mr. Whipple's house, in the imme
diate vicinity,
cc, A fellow nametl Harper, residing in Tlaiti
more, charged his daughter before one of the mag
istrates of that city, with having robed him of $215.
The circumstances of this case are said to be cc.
volting, and very dishonorable to the father. Ile
has bad his child arrested and examined on this
same charge five times before diferent magistrates,
by all of whom the case has been dismissed—the
evidence being too flimsy to cast even a shadow of
.sus . picion on the persecuted girl. Friends are en
tleavekrilig to release her from her painfully hams
. G ing position.

stepping behind the counter, and taking down a
gold watch and chain, "some one will be in direct

not as large as might have been expectedj
Cot.
M . CANDLESS, Mr. HAMPTON, and Mr. INWARD,
were the speakers. The speech -of Cot. IlDC.orn•
Ltss was one orthis gentleman's happitst efforts,
he expatiated freely on the leading and exciting
political topics pf the day, proving conclusively
by facts and arguments the insincerity of the Whig
professions and the subject of the tariff, and that
it the act of '46 required modification it must be
done by Democratic votes in Congress,
Mr. Thotercrs followed in a rambling, discon
Pected sort of a speech, showing clearly to his own
political friends that he is not the man tocneet the
Democratic candidate in debate.
Mr. Dowenn followed in brief'clesertation on
the merits of the natives.

SARCASTIC SEICTENUE.—OId KaipCS, for
merly first Judge of Windsor county. Vt., was a
strange composition of folly and good sense, of
natural shwwilness and want of cultivation. The
following senti.nce was pronuunc.ed ulxnt a poor
ragged fellow for stealing a pair of boots from
General Curtis. a man of considerable wealth in
the town of Windsor.
"Well, - said the judge, very grasely, be:;:,re. pro- I
nounciug sentence of court, undertook to mad the
young villian a lecture, "you are a fine fallow to
Le arraigned before a court for sterling. They
say you are poor—no one doubts it who looks at

hitoLles or rnn LIGIITXS NG .—The village of
Ballston was visited last Mouthy by a severe storm
during which the lightni,ug play e,l a number of fan
tastic tricks, particul ink the Telegraph wires upon
which it se,enitd cisposed to ,exhibit its humor
somewhat stivrtluously..
says of it:
"In one instance, the lightning followed along
the wire until it came in contact with the glass
ball strrounding the post in our village, inunedi
atelY ip front of the Troy Railroad Law.% lir heti it
left the wire, and decended M.:i l k:SE cutting a fur
row in it about a quarter of ntr inch wide o.ea,:hy
its base, when corning to a knot. it left the post,
and struck the ground some 8 feet distant. In an.
other instance, it followed the wire until it come.
i s the gijass knob cm the poet adjoining our office,
when it, or a part of it at least, left the wire, ac
companied by two reports like that occasioned by
the discharge of a pistol, and ascended iMo cite air
1 in two illuminated balls, seen by Messrs Stephen
Bmitli and E. G. Young, who at the time were
standing near the post: and were also seen by other
of ourNitizens. in another case, some quarter of
a utile Karin our village, the electricity ,completely
destroyed two of the poles, throwing some oh the
fragments fifty feet from their foundation. The
three instances of the action of the electricity above
given, ocourvetl at the same instant, being without
doubt occasioned by the same shock of lightning.
The things of the glass ball were slighly broken, but
the wire was not in the least injured by the de
struction of the *posts above referred to."
A Willi; Sisgnca.—A rumor hus igen put in
circulation, that Gen. Houston, the Democratic can
didate for the State Senate, who is extensively en
gaged in iron works in Centre county, was about
to reduce the wages of his hands. The Centre
Democrat says:
“We are authorized to contradict this statement,
point blank. Gen. H. will not reduce the wages of
the laborers in his employ. Should any reduction be
necessary, it will be taken from his own profits, not
from the hard earnings of the laborer, and we may
add.. that were manufacturers generally to pursue a
similar course, it might, in the end, not only benefit
the country, but themselves."
Excessive Puliieitcss.,Boyland Hill was always
annoyed when there happened to be a noise in the
chapel, or when any thing occurred to divert the
attentiou.of his hedsera from what he was saying.
On one occasion, a short time before Lid death, he
was preaching to one of the.most crowded congre
gations that ever assembled to hear him. In the
middle of his discourse he observed a commotion
in the gallery. For some time he took no notice
of it, but fmding it increasing, he paused in his ser
mon, and looking in that direction, he exclaimed,:
“What's the matter there! the devil seems to laave l
got into you!"
A ; plain countrplooking•map immediately stprt-1,
ed to his feet, and addressing Mr. ip
said, !‘,No sir, it aint the devil as is doing it; its a
fat lady ttiot's fainted, and she's a very fat 'un, sir, :

THE CALIFORNIAS.
-The intelligence from the South that the United
States squadron have again taken possession of the
Californias , . Will naturally direct public attention to
the condition of that vest tract of country. M.
de Maras, in a work in relation to Mexico, and
which was published under the immediate direction
of the French minister, Marshal Sault, by order of
the king. gives a very minute account of the state
of affairs in California. in 18'42. The area of Up
per California he gives at 2,000 square leagues, or
5,000-square miles, and the population scattered
over this extent he classifies as follows:
Californians descended from Spain,
Americans from United States,
English, Scotch, and Irish, '
European Spaniards, •
French and Canadians,
Germans, Italians, PortugueSe and Sandwich
Islanders,
Mexicans,
Total, 5,009
Among the English and Americans, he statr,
are many runaway seamen, but the Trost of them
are immigrants from the West. The location of
this population is given as follows
Sun Diego
Santa Barbara
Monterey....
San Francisco

The three most important establishments in the
country are the factories of the Hudson Bay COM
panv, and the most important of all, New Helve
tia, founded by Captain Suter. a retired officer of
the Swiss Guards of Charles'X, disbanded at the
revolution of the three days of IS 3O . This enter
prising gentleman emigrated from Missouri to
California in 1838, 1839. and has formed the nu
cleus of the future empire on the Pacific. Captain
Fremont. on his visit to Capt Snter, in 1844, stales
that on his first settlement he bad some trouble
with the Indians. but by the occasional exercise of
well-timed authority, converted them into a peace
able and industrious people. On application to
the chief of a village, he obtains as many boys and
girls as be can employ: and there was at that time
a number in training for a woollen factory. He
bought out the stock of a Russian establishment.

California under the Mexican flag. only one, a boat

remarks as follows:
soil is often, in the callers. two metres
deep: the superior strata are formed in part of or
gamic detritus, and are, of course, extremly fertile.

The soil is never naked. grass rovers it through
the whole year. The gramineons pbuits attain
Mr height of eight or ten feet. But the trees of
California. if not the largest. are at any rate, the
tallest on the globe
"The seasons follow the same course as in (south

marked parts. the seasons of rains which begins in
tietolier and ends in March, and the (kr season,
which embraces the remaining Si x months of spring

This is singular language to be published under
the direct:was of the French ministry. While, how
ever events are maturing is California to place that
country within the confines of the Union, England
is making more rapid aelvatiossincosiserlidating her
power in the Mosquito country, which embraces
the extremity of the northern continent down to
the Isthmus of Panama. Per claim is some pre
tended deed of gift by some drunken old savage,
who, under the tutelag,,e of English agends,dast only
made over to her add his own c Gutty, ;nit also some
manufactured claims to land that never belonged
to him. By this right, English agents impose up
on American vessels charges for cutting mahogany
so enormous as to drive them away. and to give
the monopoly to English vessels. The American
interests in that quarter-hadt been greatly neglect
.ed through the incompetency of the resident con
sul there.

The 4rg,,tis keeps the name of Wart.li. Foster, Jr.
at th -heart of its columns, while for the purpose
.31 injuring his election, it grossly misrepresents his
opinions upon public nteasures. Such a course of
conduct we say is unmanly and dishonorable in
the extreme. If the Argus
.and its supporters are
opposed to Mr. Foster, they have a perfect right
to be so. no matter whether their motives are sel
fish, honorable, or dishonorable. Of these the peo
ple will judge for themselves. But they have no
right to place a man's name at the heaa of their
paper as a candidate, and profess to be his friend, in
order the more .effectually - to injure him. The
oharge made by the Argus, that Mr. Foster is the
advocate of free trade, is without foundation in
truth. This slander was first put in circulation by
the Whigs, and a paper professing to be Iletnocrat

if it persist in its course, eventually find itself in
the ranks of the , enemy.—Dcelocraric Unton.
