JEFFERSON I AN HE PUBLl CAN JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN Stroudsburg, October 5, 1812. Terras, $fc,00 tn advance; $2.25, half yearly; and $2,50 if not paid befoie the end of the year. The Election. On Tuesday next the General Election takes place, when the freemen of Pennsylvania will again be called upon to exercise the invaluable right of suffrage, and choose their public servants for the coming year. In nearly all the counties also they will have to elect their County House officers; a task imposed upon them by the new or amended Constitution. This is an important du ty and as every man is more or less interested in having the public records and papers of the different offices correctly and carefully preserved, creat care should be taken to have the offices filled with honest and capable men. The man of property and of business, the rich and the poor, and the widow and the orphan, all have a deep interest in this matter, and few great er evils could befal a community than the selec tion of bad or incompetent men, to take charge of the offices in which are deposited the evidences of their Judgments, their Land Titles, their Wills, and the Criminal convictions. To the Legislature to be then chosen, the people will look for great and important refonrs. The credit of the State has been stretched to its utmost point. The in terest on the State Debt due on the 1st of August, has not been paid, and no money will be in the Treasury to pay that which will fall due on the first of February. And it depends altogether upon the action of the next Legislature whether Penn sylvania must in fact repudiate, or whether she will be honest and retrieve her ancient good name. "When the people go to the polls, let them remem ber these things. Freemen, to tlie Polls! In urging ti e citizens of Monroe, this fall, to go to the Polls, and faithfully to discharge the sacred trust secured to them by the patriots of seventy six, we have no party ends to answer. The Whigs have presented no candidates for office, and are therefore left free to choose who they will support, independent of party. It is the duty of every man to go to the polls and cast his vote for those candidates who are the most worthy and de serving of office. The right of suffrage is a privi lege which none but freemen possess. It exists, in its purity, only in those countries where liberty has taken up her abode; and in those places where it is most dearly cherished, and the most careful ly exercised, the people are the freest and happi est. The voters cannot bo too careful in examin ing the merits of the different candidates. If a bad or incompetent man is chosen, the wholo community are the sufferers, besides the evil ex ample resulting to others from his defection. Vir tue must be the guiding star both of tho candid ate and the Elector, or else our form of govern ment instead of being a blessing, will become one of the worst of evils. Tbe Assemblr Ticket. There are two Assembly Tickets presented to the voters of Monroe this fall. The one contains the names of Joseph Kerr, Asa Packer, and Jef ferson It. Heckman, and was formed by the Del egates at Ehret's, in Plainfield township. The other is composed of Joseph Kerr, Asa Packer, and Isaac Stout, and wa3 confirmed by a County meeting held at Bath. The only difference be tween the two is the substitution of the name of Isaac Stout for that of J. K. Heckman. They are both loco focos, and it is therefore, as far as party is concerned, immaterial to us which of them is elected. Mr. Heckman represented the District, however, in such a manner, last winter, that the State would loose very little by his defeat. Politics in Northampton. Trie Delegate System in Old Northampton is all in ruins, and the organization of the Loco Fo co party entirely broken up. The Regular Tick et, selected by tho Delegates to the County Con vention, is a poor affair, and most of the men on it were nominated against the wishes of a large majority of the party. Volunteer candidates are out for the different county offices, with good prospects of success. The friends of the Regular Ticket held a meet ing at Bath, on Saturday, which is represented as having been a slim affair. Andrew II. Reeder made a speech on the occasion, and read James M. Porter out of tho party. J. K. Heckman also indo a speech, during the delivery of which he displayed a number of coffin hand bills. The pro ceedings were denunciatory and ultra in the ex treme. The disaffected portion of the party, who are in favor of the Volunteers, held a meeting on the same day at Freeraansburg. It was moro than twice as large as that at Bath, and every thing passed off in the happiest manner. M. H. Jones, Esq. addressed the meeting. Anti-Republican. The people of South Carolina are so much un der the influence of John C. Calhoun, that they dare elect no man to the State Legislature who will not pledge himself to support Calhoun, for t!e Fresi-dency. An Cditor in the Field ! We notice among the list of Volunteer candid ates, in Northampton county, that of our friend Josiah P. Hetrich, senior editor of the Whig. He is out for Clerk of the Orphans' Court. He is clever, competent, and deserving, and we hope ho may be elected by a handsome majority. Col. 11. Jrl. Johnson. Col. Johnson, has accepted an invitation to be at Danville, Columbia county, Pa. on the 7th inst. to join in the celebration of the victory of the Thames. He has already arrived in Pennsylva nia, and after receiving the hospitalities of the people of Pittsburg, for several days-, left that city on Wednesday last for Greensburg. Mr. Adams' Speech. We call the attention of our readers to an ac count on our first page, of the reception of the Hon. John Q. Adams, by his constituents at Wey mouth, on his return from Washington, and to an abstract of his speech on the occasion. The re ception was honorable alike to the people and to their distinguished Representative. The Speech like.every thing else from Mr. Adams, is good, Pipe-laying. The Loco Focos have been discovered in a plot to carry the city of Philadelphia, by packing the different wards with men who havo no settled residence thereand who, as soon as the Election is over, would have left it. The National Clay Club has offered a reward of S300 for the detec tion and conviction of any person who was an ac tive participant in the attempted fraud. Flour is selling at Zanesville, Ohio, at $3 per barrel, and wheat at 30 cents per bushel- Some rogues made a mistake at New Or leans on the 17th ult., by stealing from the rail road depot nine boxes of old type, supposing it to bo specie. It is "estimated that tho revenue bill, just passed, will give employment to at least 250, 000 persons, and the means of comfortable live lihood to about 1,900,000. Mr. John M. Hendrick, of Springfield, Mass. took to Boston over tho Western railroad, a few weeks since, twenty-eight tons of water melons, raised by himself. Tho collector of Warren county, Mississip pi, reports nine-hundred taxablo persons with in his district as unable to pay their Stale tax es The merchants of Quincy, 111., are offering thirty cents in spocie, or forty cts. in goods for a bushel of wheat. North Carolina. The Raleigh Register of the 23d"ult., gives the complete vote for Governor at the late elec tion,ras follows : Morehead, Whig, 36,705 Henry, Democrat, 31,711 Morchead'sjnajority, 4,994 In one hundred and forty-eight years from this, lime, according to accurate calculation, there will be one human being for very acre of land on tho globe. Sentence of John . Colt, for Murder. We learn from the New York Commercial of last evening, that the convict, John G. Colt, was sentenced by Judge Kent, of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for the murder of Samuel Adams, yesterday morning. Tho Judge sen tenced him to be hanged on the 18th Novem ber next. Previous to receiving his sentence Colt read a paper, the substance of which was that he wished his case might bo carried to tbe Court for the Correction of Errors, and application was made to that effect by his counsel. Colt requested tho Court, if sentence were passed, to omit the usual remarks made under suck circumstances, as unnecessary in his case. Judge Kent having made an allusion to the jurymen who heard the testimony, and return ed tho verdict, Colt rose, as firm and self-possessed, as ever a man showed himself in such a situation, and said that' he did not intend to cast the slightest reflection on the jurv. Ho doubted not thoy had acted conscientiously. But he said, public opinion had changed, and he believed that nine-tenths of the community were convinced that he had not committed a wilful murder. "I have never committed an action in my life," said he, "which, under the same circum stances, I would not do again. I was insulted in my office, and resented it then, as I would do now, which led to this result." The manner and matter of this speech was strikingly characteristic of the wholo character and life of this unfortunate man. Coll exhibited his usual firmness of character, and during the delivery of the sentence, did not seem lo betray the slightest emotion. Daily Chronicle of Wednesday. Heroes of the Revolution. There are in tho United States just one hun dred soldiers of the Revolution, on the Pension List, over one hundred years of age. The ol dest man on the list, is Michael Hare, of Un ion countj', Penna., who is in his II 5th year. Soap ILocks Protected. By the new tariff a duty of twenty-five per cent, ad valorem, is put upon "human hair cleansed and prepared for use." Native soap locks, whiskers and imperials, will now flour ish in place of the foroign articles. FOREIGN NEWS. Arrival of the Britsh fcueeu. Six Days later from Europe. tho Belgian steamship "British Queen," ar rived at New York on Wednesday last, from Europe. . The English papers arc congratulating the country upon the amicable arrangement of the difficulties with the United States. The strike among the colliers has closed, and the work men have returned tu thuir duties, the proposed reduction in prices having been abondoned. Many of the Manufacturers have also gone to work as formerly. The Peel Government was growing into dai lv disrespect and opposition. The Duke of Buckingham, and other high political persons, are charged with bribery and hired ruffianism. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived in Scotland on the 8th, and wero received with ihe most marked attentions of royalty. The health of the Archbishop of Canterbury was improving. Dr. Ireland, Dean of Westminster, died on the 2d Sept., in the Slst year of his age. A report was current at Dusseldcrl" on the 5th of Sept. that the King of Hanover was dead. He was dangerously ill; but not dead. In the manufacturing districts the workmen had not settled their difficulties with their em ployers, and what the result would be, it was difficult to conjecture. Many largo orders could not be executed for want of hands, and this is considered one cause for the decline in cotton, which had fallen off 1 18d. a l-4d. per lb., on all descriptions below good fair. The finer qualties maintained their former rates. The Riots. In the neighborhood of Stock port, Hyde, Ashton-undcr-Lyne, &c. there pre vails great discontent, and a spirit of lawless brutality is manifested towards the manufac tures and those who have been compelled to appear before the magistrates as witnesses or prosecutors. On the Thursday evening, Mr. Hanklyn, a manufacturer of Ashton, was at tacked by a mob within 200 yards from where the military are stationed, and he was compelled to fire at his assailants in self-defence. Such is the stato of affairs, that many re spectable individuals deem it unsafe to go abroad without arms in their possession. American FLourt.-Several cargoes of Amer ican Flour have recently entered the ports of Limerick and the adjacent counties. Several hundred sacks of Flour, most excellent and ptime in qnality, were discharged in Sligo. The value of money had advanced some what, in consequence of the expected demand for taxes in a few days. Mr. Carter, the rival of Van Amburgh, has been again attacked by his lio:;, and had his arm much torn- The audence applauded the act most vociferously! On the Queen's arrival in Edinburgh, a large scaffolding, on which were 300 persons, fell and injured 70 persons none fatally, however. At an encampment near Thoune, in Europe, during a reviow, a sham fight was got up, but the Swiss, who would rather be killed than re treat, got the mastery and a dreadful combat en sued. No less than sixty men were wounded, and eight killed. There is nothing from Franco of much im portance, saving a rumour of a treaty with Eng land, to settle all difficulties. The celebrated America Vespuccus arrived at the French custom-house, refused to be searched by a man, drew a pair of pistols, and then returned to England. The town of Ciechanou, in Russia, was de stroyed by firo on tho 20th August, involving property to the amount of $167,000. The Spatiish journals only reiterate the cry of "dull times," and recount the disasters by the flood in Catalonia. The Augsburg Gazette, of the 24ih ultimo, stales that an extensive conspiracy, having for its object the overthrow of the present govern ment, has been discovered in Servia. Several persons of importance havo been placed under arrest. A deportment in Norway have como to the resolution of prohibiting, after ten years, the en tire distillation of brandy. A German farmer recently died in the village of Felsoe Foerock, in Transylvania, aged 135 years. He worked in the field until just before his death. Great Slaughter of 2iassiaiB3 According to a letter from the frontier of Po land, of the 1 8th ult. tho great expedition against the Jjesghees, undertaken by General Grabbc, in June last had completely failed. The fail ure was ascribed to the obstinacy of the gener al, who, in his anxiety to strike a ureal blow, declined attending to the recommendations of the friendly tribes, by whom ho was accom panied, and having penetrated too far into the country, was surrounded on all sides, and was compelled to fight his way back, without being able to afford any re3t to his troops, during four days and fonr nights. The Russians are said to havo lobt 6.000 im-n in that disastrous re treat. The Circassians had captured 13 pie ces 01 artillery, 12 of which were subsequent ly taken by tho Russians. 1 ho former, how ever, succeeded in carrying off the wholo of the ammunition- Four battalions, and upwards of 80 officers had been put to tho sword by the Circassians. Sore I'Eiroatr Take a glass of ohvc or sweet oil, and half a glass of tho spirits of turpentine, mix them well together, and rub tho throat externally, wearing flannel around it at the same time. Bank Failure. The Bank of L' ons, Lyons, N. Y, has closed its doors. Ventrilloquism Practically- Illustra ted. In Baltimore, as VVyman, the ventrillo quist, was passing the horse market, he was accosted by a jockey with "let me sell you this poney." " How old is he 1" said Wyirian. "Seven last spring," answeied the jockey. "Oh, what a lie!" ejaculated a most unearthly sound "I'm 13, and you know it as well as 1 do." The astonished jockey look around, un der the impression that some acquaintance, by way of a joke, had volunteered a speech in be half of the poney, but discovered no one. This perplexed him, and striking the horse across the neck, the same voice cried "if you do that again, you blackguard, I'll throw you off and kick out your brains." This second speech was too much for the dumfounded rider, who leaped from the horse and started to run, much to the amusement of the bystanders; and it was with great difficulty that he could be persuaded to mount the poney again, after the joke was explained. A Miss Mogjj has recovered in Illinois S8, 000 for a breach of promise. If she can do thai once more, she will havo a vair of breeches and they are as good as a husband any day. A E.ady mulcted for Breacii of Promise. The rule that hard dollars will heal wounded soft hearts, it seems, works both ways. Men have been made to suffer, at divers times, for those per juries at which ancient poets said Jove laughs; but the Boston Post gives us the first notice of a case in which the lady is the sufferer. It seems that a Miss Emily S. Browne, of Sea Brook, N. H., promised to many a Mr. Pet tengiil of Amesbury at his 'special request' and assisted him in selecting wedding garments, household furni ture, and the like necessaries. Du ring all this time, however, she was receiving i hp. nt.tfintinns nf a Mr. ivlr-ttrpcrnr with whom hist before McL-riegor, witii nom jus. oeiore the day fixed for her marriage with Mr. P., she eloped and became Mrs. Mfi(Trecror.

Edward Webster, of Montford Manor, Baltimore county, shot a bird r ' . , 1 " n i - v a lew aays since, wmcu is caneu ine Whiskered-combed Whippoorivill. It has whiskers on each side of its mouth, and its feet are provided with combs, (as they arc called,) which it is said to use dexterously on the whiskers. It is a curiosity; but we think that its name should be changed to the Dan dy Bird. Daily Chronicle. Texas Patriots.
