To onr Subscribers.
Ivn paper was issued from this office last
week. The neglect was occasioned in conse
quence of indisposition, which confined us to
curbed, and prevented us from giving our labor
and nitftiuion to ihe paper. We hope this will
bo received as a. sufficient apology for our de
linquency. Our health is so far restored that
we are enabled to superintend the affairs of the
olice onre more. 1
Pennsylvania.
The result of ihe recent ejection in this Slate,
i a cheering indication, thai -the penplo are fast
awakening to a consciousness of the importance
-of sustaining domestic industry. Wherever ihe
subject of a Protective Tariff" was agitated, tho
voters have triumphantly sustained the candid
ates who acknowledged themselves its friends
and supporters. Counties which have hereto
fore invariably gone strongly in faror of our op
ponents, have this year given handsome Whig t
.majorities solely, as we believe, on the ground
thai the Whig party is pledged in favor of the
protection of American labor.
The Whig Tariff, which has now been in
operation only about twelve months, has already
effected wonders. Hundreds of manufactories
winch were hushed and quiet, are again in op
eration, affording employment to thousands of
workmen. The scores of vessels which lay at
our whaiyes, are again manned and in use, and
their sails whiten ever' sea. The mechanic
is also once moro employed, and the farmer is
beginning to find a better market for his pro
duce. I
The people arc silent, but not inactive ob
servers of all these things. They have long
tried and Miffered from ihe visionary doctrine
f jrec trade, and will have no more of it. The'
will not therefore, we are convinced, abandon
the ground they have just assumed. It is their
truB interest to support their own labor and in
duMry; and as their attention has been fully
aroused to the subject, we should not be sur
prised, if nest year, Pennsylvania gave an over
whelming majority in favor of the Tariff" candi
dal for President, Congress, and State Leg
ist lire.
Tim 2,afe Election.
Under all the discouraging circumstances
which Murnujrjcj&d ihem, the Whigs achieved,
wji.li we consider a glorious triumph, in this
5le. at the ection. We have succecd-
fd in elecung'a majority of the Congressmen,
notwithstanding the shameful manner in which
ilio State wan gerrymandered by the last Le
i.htuue. In the Siate Senate, the majority
agajiis-t us is large, the Locos having 22 to 11.
To the Hou?r although we lost all the mem
bers from Allegheny, and part of the delega
tions from Dauphin, Washington, and one or
two oilmr Whig counties, in consequence of
local difncuiues, we have siiil succeeded in
deciing 42 Whigs to 58 locos; showing plain
ly that we might have carried the popular
branch of the Legislature if we had only known
our.-fireiigiii. Our Canal Commissioners are
defeated bv about 13,000 otes: and this when
ihme were no tickets for them in a number of
of -our northern counties. This result, to un
expected to our friends, and wnhal so cheering,
h but the harbinger of a glorious triumph next
jdl. The following Congressmen it is ascer
tained arc elected, from their retpective Dis

In Old Northampton the Regularly nomina

Anthony A. Transtio, and Edward J. Seip, the
Aroluutcer candidates for County Commission
er and Treasurer, have been elected by major
ities of between 3 and 500. There was no op
position for Assembly, and therefore Hugh 13.
Hineliue, George Bachman, and Rudolphus

close, and Heckman, tho regular ticket man i

Georgia and Iflaryland.
These two States have again joined the
Whiff ranks. Georgia which has gone loco,
ever since 1810, now elects a Whig Governor,
a Whig Legislature, and ihe two Whig Con
gressmen, by upwards of 3000 majority. Ma
ryland, has also gone right. The Whigs will
have a majority of seventeen, on joint ballot in
ihe Legislature. This is glotious, as it secures
us a U. S. Senator.
A"ev Jersey.
Whilst the other States have done so nobly,
New Jersey has faltered, and elected a loco
foco Legislature, and four out of the five loco
Congressmen. The patronage of the Tyler
administration, together with some local cau
ses, produced this effect. Next year, litilo
Jersey will be all right again.
Ohio I-iectioi:.
Tho result of the late election in Ohio, is as
gratifying as it was unexpected. The Whigs
have succeed.'d in finding a majority, on joint j
ballot, of ihe Legislature; Ten out of twenty-1
one Congressmen, and have a handsome ma-j
jority of ihe popular vote! Well done, brave I
Whifis of the Buckeye State.

The PoJatoe Crop.
We continue to hear, almost daily, com
plaints, from our farmers, and others, that their
potatoe crops have been greatly, and in some
instances almost entirely destroyed. In some
places they were nearly all rotten in the ground;
and in others, where they looked good when
they were dug. many have spoiled since they
were put away. Ju this County, one half, or
probably two thirds, of he whole crop have
been spoiled; and in other Counties, as far as
we have been able to learn, they have also sus
tained great injury. In Northampton, we are
informed, -herever ihy weie planted in low,
damp ground, they have turned out the same as
here, but that those on high, dry ground, are as
good and bound as they were in any previous
year.
A DitricsiJ y.
On Tuesday the 10th instant, Mr. Abraham
Stevenson, of this place, whilst out on a gun
ning expedition shot a nolle Crane in McMi
chaels' Creek, which measured ttr feet from
the tip of one wing to that of the other, and
Jive feet Jive inches, from tho extremity of iKti

Foreiga Kews.
The Steamer Hibernia, arrived at Boston on
the ISth inst., aftwr a passage of fourteen days
from Liverpool, with 96 passengers. The fol
lowing is a short synopsis of her news.
The sales of Cotton were large, and on the
day before the sailing of the Hibernia, had ad
vanced a farthing per pound. On that day
20,000 bales were sold.
The Royal Mail Steamer, Memnon, with the
India mail on board, was lost on the coast of
Africa, near Ardon iruhe Red Sea, on the 1st
of August. The crew, passengers, arid treas
ure, were saved ; but the mails and baggage
lost.
In Ireland, tho Repeal agitation still rages
with unabated fervor. O'Connell seems more
determined and energetic than over. Fears
were entertained that the peace of the country
could not be preserved umil ihe meeting of the
British Parliament. The meetings are larger
and more tumultuous than heretofore, and it
is hinted that the Government is about to put a
stop to them. To attempt that, would be a dan
gerous experiment.
jDasiIcl Webster. ,
This greal statesman has accepted an invi
tation to address a mass meeting of the Whigs,
at Salem, Massachusetts, sometime during this
month. He has also written a Ionr letter, in
which ho avows himself in faror of the Whi
candidate for Governor, of .Mass., and opposed
to locofocoism.
Col. Richard 33. SoBsmcra.
This distinguished soldier and patriot is at
present on a visit to the Eastern Slates. He
is everywhere received with the warmest man
ifestations of esteem and respect. He is ex
pected to arrive in Philadelphia, one day this
week, when there will be a gtand turn out of
tho military and citizens.
Amerieasi Fairs.
The Fair of the American Institute, in New
York, and that of the Franklin Institute, in
Philadelphia, are both open, nnd visited daily
by thousands of spectators. The displays io

Sejow Storm.
The city of Utica, N. Y., was visited with a
Snow storm, on the afternoon of Tuesday the
17th inst., which lasted from 15 to 20 minutes.
j It also snowed there on the evening of the same

The yellow fbver still prevails in New Or-

j ihecase of Kcim vs. Engle, which wa an ap-
court decided, upon agreement and examination
of ihe act of assembly of 1791, that ihe judg
ment bv iho justice of the peace in this case
i was null and void, because there was no war
rant issued lo bring tho defendant hetore him.
This Is an important decision, and ought to be
known by erory justice of ihe peace and evety
citizen of ihe country. The court in giving
their opinion, expressly derlared that any judg
ment rendered in any case by a justice of Uih
peace, where there is no warrant issued and
the defendant comes before him by agreement
or consent, is void in law. This opinion of the
court overriden the opinion given in LairoboN
Jusricc, in chapter 221, that the parties may
appear amicably before him, and ilm his judg
ment will be as binding as if a warrant had been
issued m ihe lir-si instance.

Wlio Passed lite Tariff?
The unblushing impudence and total disre
gard of truth of ih Madisonian in attempting
to rob tho Whigs of the credit of having passed
ihe Tariff act and claiming the honor of that
great and salutary measure for the Locofocos,
is so admirably shown up by tho editor of the
N. Y. Tribune in the following article, "that we
"cannot refrain from republishing it, with an as
sertion that every word of it is true; true as
gospel. There was no measure brought for
ward during the long session of ihe 27th Con
gress, upon which party lines more clearly
separated its friends and enemies than this ;
and to claim the credit for the Lncofocoa of
having passed it, when ihey made iho most
strenuous exertions to defeat it, is exhibiting a
degree of assurance at which we must confess
we arc 'astonished ! We should think John
Jones was joking did we not know that he never
intentionally uttered a joke in his life ; that he
is always serious, even when lauding Mr. Ty
ler as a man too pure and honest to use the
patronage of thft Government to promote his
own views ! No: John always means what
ho says, bi it ever so absurd, ridiculous, or un
true, and his assertions therefore, uttered wiili
the seriousness and Minplicitv of a novice, be
come the most laughable jokes of th& day.

THE WHIG TARIFF.
In tho Madisoman of Tuesday we find the
following paragraph:
"Admitting (which of course wo do not) thai
the Tariff is Uie sole caino of our prosperity,
we think it is no Iwlc impudence which can in
duce a Clay Whig Editor to claim the credit of ;
its adoption Jor the Clay Whig party.
"Messrs. Adams, Speaker White, Davis,

Falsehoods asserted 'by authority' must of

be expected to cap ihe climax of insolent ore-

passage, S2 " of Air. Clay's peculiar friends"
voted m its favor ; while 65 Loco-Focos on this
vote, and 90 on the former voted against it. All
the Whigs who roied against i, except four or
five from the South, did so out of iheir reluc
tance lo surrender iho Public Land Distribution
at the beck of the Madtsonian's master; and
iho Loco-Focos who voted for it, (10 from New
York, 9 from Pennsylvania, and 1 from Massa

parties passed tho Tariff in tha House?
In speaking of the vote in the Senate the
Madisonian falsifies the record in a more whole
sale manner than in the othr case; but it de
nies it uith leas boldness by cowardly insinua
tion. " Messrs. Archer, Berrien, & c, Whigs
voted against it ;" says the Madisonian, intend
ing to convey the impression thai the Whigs
voted against it ; " while Buchanan, Wright,
Sturgeon, Williams, &c, Democrats voted for
it." It enumerates all tho Locofocos who vo
ted for it and then add 4&c.,' thus insinuating,
what it dared not affirm, thai all the Locofocos
voted for it in solid phalanx against the
Whigs ! Twenty Whigs and four Loco3 vo
ted jor it ; and tho Whigi who voted against it
ilid no, not because they were unfriendly to it,
bin bucause they deiested the tyrannical, trai
torous veto of John Tyler.
This attempt of the Madisonian, in behalf of
the Locofocos, io claim the merit or an act
which they both fought against with all their
power, is about the basest use lo which this
base tool of traitors and demagogues has yet
been pul.
