I've often heard it said of late,
That Tennessee it is the Slate,
Where Democrats are bound to shine,
As in Yoik State and Caroline
For oh ! the people told me so,
POLK'S the greatest ninn in the romitry, oh !
1 looked in his face and fonncl it so,
Just as the people told me, oh !
There's DALLAS, too, lie is the man
Who'll bring the whiggies to a stand,
From Pennsylvania he does come,
And with her he's a favorite sou
For oh ! the people told me so,
He's a "leading team" in the Keystone, oh,
1 looked in his face and found it so,
Just as the people told me, oh !
Our candidates are in the field,
Thy 're bound to make that old coon squeal ;
Polk 8r Dallas, and Miiii.knbkhu, too,
We're bound to see them all put thrvugh
For oh ! my duddy told nie so,
Th -y're the tallest boys in the country, oh !
1 looked at them all and 1 found them so,
Jut as daddy told me, oh !
Oh we "ask for nothing but what's right,"
And for our cause we'll firmly fight :
We'll lick the coons to their heart's content
By electing POLK our President
For oh '! the people told me s,
He's a "leading team" in the country, oh,
I looked in his face and found it so,
.lift as Hie people told me, oh !
It's now I tell you one and all
Let's be UNITED IN THE FALL
For we have never got that "Iirrf,"
Which was to give us all "reiff"'
For oh the people told me so,
FOLK'S the man for the country, oh
I looked in his face and found it so,
.Inst as the people told me, oh !
Printers.
No trade sends into the world smarter and
more active men than that of printing. Look
to officers of trust and honor where talent and
energy are. required and you will be most
likely to find them filled with printers. Who
muke our bt;st editors, lawyers, preachers, may
or, and Congressman ? Printer, l'rintiny in
a glorious business, thus to fit mm lor honor
and usefulness. A college education is not to
be compared to an education at the case. One
of the greatest lawyers England has produced
was a printer. The greatest philosopher of
America was a printer. Who are mayors of
Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth ! Printer. So
also are the Mayors of New York, Washing
ton mid Savannah, printers by trade. The re
cent Mayor of Boston was a printer.
There ere something like a dozen of prin
ters in Congress nil of them honors to their
prolix kin.
Cei la inly the best conducted journals of this
country ore under the control of printers. Look
to this city lor instance : Gen. Todd, of the
American, Ell wards of the Advertiser, Iloikett
ol the Bulletin, and Nichols, of the Wnsliiiigtu-
iimii, are all printers, and reflect honor on the
craft.
Printem are looking up. Who would not
be a printer ! To the young apprentice ot the
case, or roller bland, with smutty faces or dirty
finger, we would say, duut be discouraged. A
fi w years ago, all the distinguished men we
huve named above were similarly employed.
Stick to your business and every leisure hour
you have, employ it in the perusal of ustlul
books and in the cultivation of your minds.
Tin n the day w ill not be fur distant, when, if
you are true to yourselves and contract no bad
habits, you will become useful and honorable ci
tizens exerting a w ide und healthy influence.
Portland Tribune,
A Mi KntRr.K Exf.cttf.d. Lucien Hall, the
murderer of Mrs, Bacon, was executed at Mid
dktowu, Conn., on Thursday last, agreeably to
hit sentence. He was executed within the pri
ton walls. There was a crowd of some two thou
sand persons, including females, outside. Af
ter the t-xcfu:itn thecdlin was taken out into
the street by Hal) friends, laid on chairs, und
the crowd passed by between the ranks of the
military, to gaze upon the fucoofthe murderer.
I fall was only about lit) years ol age.
He exhibited some emotion, though not much,
when brought out fur execution-, lie observed,
when upon the scufluld, "l don't feel as if I
could die, after all." On being asked if he bad
anything tossy, he replied, '1 have a good deal
to say, but do not feel as if 1 could say it." He
thtntjok his seal and groaned, but shed no
tears. He then called for water with camphor
in it, which was brought. He looked around
rather sulkily and said, "I think it strange that
any one should want to see a man in this situa
lion." He said as the chord was fixed about
hia neck, "I suppose there's no getting away
from this at any tate." It was now near 2 o'
clock. The sherill'told him that lie should have
what time lie wanted. He asked for 15 min
utes more called lor a Bible and read aloud the
5 1st Psalm. The last live minutes were called
ott'as each expired. Hu hoped the world Mould
take wanting by him, and his last words were
Oh! dear me ! tlod Almighty bavo ineiryon
me !"' The rope was cut, the drop tell, and in
a lew seconds his struggles were over. Mr.
Bacon was present at the execution with bis
two sous, hu brother, and tour brotheru ot Mrs.
Bacon.
Rat. If they are troublesome, sprinkle un
packed lime in their hole and about where they
congregate, and they will depart without fall.

Cy Notick to Dcmocrats. The Jefferson
Democratic and Tariff Club of Northumberland,
will nwet at the house of Joseph Vandyke, in
Northumberland, this evening (Saturday 20 inst.)
at 7$ o'clock, P. M. C. W. Hegins w ill address
the meeting.
C7" It will be seen by an advertisement in our
columns, that some of our military friends in Au
gusta have raised a new company
C7" An excel'ent tale, by the author of the
"Dutchman's Fireside," I t the "Dutchman's
Fsb tig," as one of our compos tors has made it,
will be found on our first pate.
K"7" Harvesting has commenced much earlier
this season than lor many years previous. We
taw wheat in the shock, cut a week 3ince. The
crops are generally fair, although we have heard
of a number of fields of wheat considerably inju
red by smut.
E7" Foustii of Ji lv Celebrations. The dif
ferent Sunday Schools in this place are making
preparations, wc understand, to celebrate the co
ming 4th of July, in an appropriate manner.
P7" Rasprf.rrifs ani Cream have been much
relished in this place, dining the last ten days,
and in no place in this vt ide woi Id can finer straw
and raspberries be found, than here. These, with
the delicious, root thick cream, (none of the
mongrel article served up in the cities,) are e
dough to make the mouth, even of an editor, to
water.
C?" The business on the canals, in this neigh
borhood, has very much increased, and will dou
ble itself over the past year.
DC?" The Authiacite Furnace, at Shamnkin,
was obliged to blow out on Wednesday last, in
consequence of the foundation of a part of the
J'ugine having given away. The necessary re
pairs will be slight and cau be completed in a
few days.
K7 The prospect of the Democratic party
have very much brightened since the nomina
tions of the Faltimore Convention. We think
it probable that the next election will be large.
There can be no doubt of the result in IVnn'a.,
if there is anything like a turn out. In regard
to the Governor's election, webe'ive it is pretty
generally understood, by all parties, that Mr.
Muhlenberg will be elected.
Cj1 Lswisni-RS ENt-AMPMrx r. The military
of Lewisburg intend holding an encampment, at
that place, during the next month. The milita
ry ol that place possess the right spirit to ac
complish such an object successfully.
E"7" Dvsi-khsia. A writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger gives the following as a certain remedy
tor Dyspepsia. The principle we know is good :
Kex-er drink (iiiyliincr while yuu are tilling a
meat. Drink as much pure water, two hours or
more before ami two hours or more after ynti
have eaten a meal, as is reasonable ; but drink
nothing tit yuur meals.
C7"B!.ack IUmi Iro.n OuE.-This celebrated ore
is beginning to altract consideiuble attention in
the Pottsville Coal region, where it is found.
We have in our possession mine few specimens
from the Shamokin region, where, we have been
informed, it abounds as abundantly and of as
gooil quality as any in Scotland It is us heavy
as iron itself. Some of it very black, others in
clining to brown. Hut, independent of this, lurge
veins of other species of rock ore are now work.
ed in the region, which has been amply tested in
the Antluacitu Furnace of Shamokin, w hich was
supplied almost wholly with this kind of ore,
yielding from .'10 to 40 per tt. and producing iron
of the best quality.
CT?" Joe Smith and the Mormons, by destroy
ing the Nuuvoo F.xpositor, and Joe's outrageously
tyranii aland villunous conduct, has raised sin h
an excitement in the neighborhood that we should
not be surprised to find that he had been Lynch
ed by an exctcd community.
E7 Shamokin, Maiionov, axd Sciieri-nrn.
RailRoadi Mr. Cleaver and his party, engaged
in making the experimental survey of this route,
have nearly completed their labors. The result
ia highly gratifying, aa it is now ascertained, be
yond all doubt or cavil, that a road can be made
to connect the rail road from this place to Sha
mokin, with the Reading rail road, near Potts
ville. The whole distance will be about 31
miles to Mount Carbon. Should they, however,
connect with the Mount Carbon rail road, the
making of 4 or Smiles would ho saved. The
grading on the west side of the summit need not,
in any instance, exceed S I feet to the mile. On
the ensterti sido it will not, in any instance, ex
ceed 70 feet per mile. The tunnel will be about
3000 feet ill length, through the Proad .Mountain,
at the head waters of the West West Ilranch of
the Schuylkill on the eastern, and deep creek
on the western side of the mountain. The moun
tain, it will thus be seen, nt this point, become
very sharp. The tunnel passing through it four
hundred feet below its summit.
Those who have been thus active in spending
their time and money in making the survey, are
highly deserving of credit. The completion of
tbe road is of immenso importance to Philadel
phia, and especially to the stock holders of the
Philadelphia and Pottsville Rail Road Co., a it
must and will be the channel through which the
vast stores of grain, iron, lumber, bituminous
cool, !v. of the North and West Branches of
the Susquehanna will travwrse, as the short
est, cheapest, and most expiditious route to the
seaboard. The number of passengers alone
would pay the construction, A dealer would
be enabled to ship a cargo of wheat, iron, or
timber, Kc, take it to Philadelphia, dispose of
it, and come back with n return cartro in three
days, whereas, at present, by way of the Tide
Water Canal, it cannot be performed in less than
fifteen, and at nn expense of 10 or i0 p"r cent,
greater than might be done on tbe proposed rail
road. Then asain the amount of coal that will
be transported over both ends of the proposed
road, would render it of itself one of the profita
ble investments in the country. We have been
informed that the proposed route has met some
nptmsition from some persons who are anxious
that it should take another course, while a few,
we understand, propose finishing the old route
with planes. The public will, however, under
stand all this as coming from persons interested
in land speculations.
Tun Mamfactcre of Railroad Inon in
tbe U. States will be commenced next spring
by the company who are1 now constructing a
rolling-mill at Danville, Pa. Danville Dcm,
When the 'company' is in the full tide of suc
cessful experiment, we trust its members will
recollect, that Mr. F.vans, a whig United States
Senator from Maine, and a leading Clayite, pro
posed to grant them 'protection' by admitting
railroad iron into our port,Vec of 'duly. Out
out upon such protection l)em. Vnion.
X7 This same Mr. F.vans was one of the most
prominent candidates for the Vice Presidency, on
the Whig ticket. Just before the Baltimore
Convention he bad considerably relaxed his ef
forts in procuring the repeal of the doty on rail
road iron, but no sooner was Mr. Frelinphuysen
nominated for Vice President, than we find Mr.
F.vans meking an attempt to permit rail road
iron to be imported free of doty, und thus destroy
the great iron interests ol Pennsylvania. Yet,
Mr. Fvuns is considered one of the strongest
Tai 'id Whigs in the Senate, and has made several
speeches ill answer to Mr. McDulIie, on this sub
ject. This measure was to favor rail road cor-
orations, and the question naturally arises, why
should corporations have privileges not granted
to individuals. Mr. F.vans, we presume, has
reasons satisfactory to himself. He who favors
a tarilfof protection cannot honestly make ex
ceptions lor or against any class of individuals.
CT7"Mr. McDulfie has resigned bis seat in the
lT. S. Senate, for the purpose of go'ng into the
South Carolina Legislature, in order to pass nulli
fication laws and to res st the revenue laws of
the government. Such men are but little better
than avowed tra'tors, and deserve nothing short
of a traitors punishment, which, wc sincerely
hope, will be meted out to them if they should
uttempt to execute their traitorous designs.

Cy This is really too bad. To come the

whig fiieiuls, is not giving them u fair chance.

Mr. Kmtoh : And so the eighth wonder of
the world hag lately been in our town, in the
shape of a learned hog. Of course such an unpa
ralleled prodigy would attract the curious ; anil,
to the great credit of the place, we have a num
ber, who, like tho learned Athenians, are always
on the look out lor something new of this mind
to-day, and that to-morrow, and most philosophi
cally opposed to all old customs and ways as tin?
relics of superficial and barbarous ages. Thanks
to these modern curiosi who are fast modelling
thestate of society here to their elegant opinions
and manners. What a glorious social state we
shall soon have, the fame of which will draw
hither wondering crowds, and our city of the Sun
will become the centra of refinement to the ci
vilized world.
It is already a place of unequalled liberty,
where every one is disposed to do his own ple5
sure, and, especially, the young people; and this
is, certainly, a great recommendation, as unfet
tered freedom is the very acme of the lofty ami
boundless aspirations of the immortal mind ; and,
assuredly, it would be very anti-republican and
""'"'rons to desire even to place any restric
tio" on 'h acred privib se of thinking and act-
ing as one pleases, or going where he likes, even
if it be into a sty or to the Devil.
Resides, it is not to be tolerated, that any one
should interfere with the pecuniary concerns of
his neighbor. F.very man, of conrse, has a right
to get money, and lay it out as he pleases. As
to any responsibility for money, why that's a
mere fiction invented by the preachers to get
the peoples' cah into their own pocket. So
justly sensitive of their independence on this
score, are most persons, that to touch their purse
is all one with touching their iharacter. In ad
dition, as this is a very wealthy place, it would be
the height of presumption to say, that the people
shall not devote their money to what purposes
they please, and, especially, since they all very
punctually pay their taxes and preachers, and all
other honest debts, and are most exemplary in
their liberal support of all the religious and be
nevolent institutions of the age.
Moreover, it would be very unkind and impo
lite, if not unpatriotic, to endeavor to hinder the
attendance of our gentry on such exhibitions as
are passing to and fro in the land, because the
managers of them are men and women of high
standing in society, who are trying to make an
honorable as well as honest living, while, at tlie
same time, with the most patriotic motives, they
minister to the gratification and improvement of
the people. Rirds of a feather ought certainly to
flock together !
Now, notwithstanding my zeal to vindicate
the recent exhibition, some oldl'ashioned and self
conceited folks may be disposed to think that the
assembly was not very choice, and that the days
of hiiiubug are not yet over. As to the latter
charge any one who is acquainted with the vi
gorous minds composing the meeting will not
dare to make it ; and, as to the insinuation that
there was any thing swinish in the company, it
is a downright slander for I say it positively
and without the fear of contradiction, that all the
jieople of Sunbury are respectable, very respect
able. There are, however, still a very few young
men among us who have not yet imbibed thu
literary spirit of that class the hope of the
town and of the country who. it is to be greatly
desired, will be stimulated by the acquisitions of
the bog to a course of study, so that they may
be able to rival him in attainments ; and, it is
not doubted, but that, out of gratitude for the
salutary influence of his learned example, they,
together with his other friends and admirers,
will join in a card of invitation to him to repeat
his visit, at which time they may be able to com
plete their education in the science of hogisui.
(Put ye ladies, I understand that ye were so
wanting in intelligence and modesty as not to fa
vor the hog with your presence. Never do the
likiagain, but be respectful to every honorable
visitor to the town, or you will call down my
ire upon yon, and I will urge the gentlemen to
blot you out of their books.
As the bee gathers honey from every opening
flower, so, no doubt, it is perfectly justifiable for
those who are thirsting alter knowledge, to pro
cure it in the hog-pen, that place of scents so
sweet.
We have meteorologists ami astronomers and
J botanists and natuaralists, who gather knowledge
from the heavens, the clouds anl the earth ; an I
why should we not havea corpsof scientific grun
ters to root out knowledge from the ground. And,
as dirty work makes clean money, there can lie
no objection, in this most disinterested age. to
obtain it by the rooting process.
And as the hog is particularly knowing in the
matter of gutter-rolling, any of our older gentle-
5 t men, or the young ones, just in the pink of fash
S ion, who would be pleased with a most lustrous
polish to their garments, will soon be able to pre
sent us with the most perfect specimens of imi
tation, if they will sip away at the bottle, and
get drunk when they go from home, or frequent
the bar rooms, and tarry at the w hiskey or the
wine. This, probably, is one of the easiest les
sons in hog science.
Rut we, in this region, ought, in a special
manner, to feel our obligation to the learned hog,
whose very natural method for obtaining know
ledge is by delving into the ground, because the
materials of our wealth lie under ground, in coal
and iron ; und, as we are much of imitative crea
tures, his example will influence us to look down
wards, and root in the earth, and we may stum
ble upon, or rather, scientifically discover some
of the embedded treasures. This part of hoggish
education, besides being useful, will also aid
very much the virtuous elevation of the people,
as it is an established rule of morals in the world,
that the higher a man ascends in the scale of sel
fishness, the nearer he rises to the exalted hog
e nislence, ihe more of an' earth-worm he it the
mors of a gentleman, and the mora valuable as a
