We have hui few additional returns from this

Louisville Journal.

Itfissonri Election.
The latest news we have from Missouri, is
that the Independent Ticket for Governor, as
far as heard from, was about three thousand
vows ahead of the Locofoco ticket. The re
turns from the south and southwestern parts of
the Slate were yet to come in, upon them de
pended lhe election. The Whigs had already
secured forty out of the hundred members which
compose the House of Representatives, and
twenty-two of these are gams. In the last
House there were seventy-six Locos to twenty
four Whigs. Only three of the eleven Senato
ihi! districts that elected members this year
have been heard from. Two of these are Whig.
The Senaie consists of thirty-three members,
si ltd of those holding over from last year seven
teen are locos.

ilie Legilature complete.

26 on joint ballot 10 in the Senate and 16 in
the Commons.
The vote for Governor in two counties re
main to be heard from. Graham's present ma
jority is 3,229

craiic Association'' of Springfield, Illinois, has
cotiiAout and enrolled himself under the Whig
iuiiuer.
John Tyler has formally withdrawn from the
riestUeiilial canvass.
Kentucky.
The result in this Slate, so far as heard from,
with any accuracy gives Owsley, Whig, 5,535
majority over Butler, Loco. There are 1 1
counties to be heard from. The Lexington
Observer estimates that Owsley's majority in
the state will be from 5000 to 7000.
Dixon, Whig, for Lt. Governor, leads Pil
cher, Loco, 14,531. He also leads Owsley
2000 votes.
The Louisville Journal gives a list of 75
Whigs to 25 Locos elected to the legislature so
far viz : Senate, 1 1 Whigs and 3 Locos.
House, 64 Whigs and 22 Locos. Gov. Pope,
lately a Whig member of Congress, was run
on the Loco ticket for the legislature in Wash
ington county, and defeated by Mr. Cox.
Alabama.
The returns so far as received, look well,
and show that the progress of the Whig Cause
is onward, even in Alabama. Wo learn from
the Mobile Advertiser of the lOih, that in the
counties heard from, the Whigs have elected
25 Representatives and the locos 13. Wa have
gained eight and lost three. Net Whig gain
FIVE.
This will do lo begin with.
Illinois.
The Louisville Journal of the 13th, says
"So far as we can learn from confused and per
plexed accounts, Illinois stands alone in her
.ihame, for she continues her allegiance lo the
rotten standard of Polkism. From the informa
tion before us, we are warranted in stating that
Hoge, Douglass, and McClernand, Locofocos,
and Baker, Whig, are elected to Congress.
We observe rrom the legislative returns, that
the Whigs have effected many gains in lhat
body, though not sufficient to neutralize the im
mense Locofoco majority.
Whig Meeting at Ccntreville.
The meeting of the Whigs at Centreville, in
Upper Mount Bethel, on Saturday last, (the
proceedings of which will be found in to-days
paper; in entnusiasm anu numbers, went lar
ahead of anything of the kind heretofore held
in the couniy. Although it was called as a lo
cal township gathering, it was in fact a Mass
meeting. We have seen more people together,
but on so short a notice, and but little effort be
ing made by the friends of the cause to produce '
a large turnout, u was not anticipated, anu irte
i . . . -. . i .l"
Whigs were surprised and gratified, while the
few political opponents who could be seen in
vicinity of the meeting were rilled with the
most dreadful apprehensions, and fled from the
scene as the masses came pouring in from all
quarters.
The Whigs of Monroe couniy made a credi
ble turn-out, evincing a spiiit and determina
tion lo do their duty at the approaching elec-

The delegation from Pocono township alone
amounted to forty-five persons. In this town
ship in 1840, we had 18 votes. This is cheer
ing evidence that correct political principles
are rapidly increasing, and that the hardy citi
zens of that heretofore dark region are being
animated with the spirit of the Whigs of 76.
On one of their teams was inscribed in large I
letters POlK! O NO! and as it drove up
was enthusiasiically cheered.
After a large number had partook of an ex
cellent dinner prepared by Mr. J. Saudi, of the
Centreville Hole, a procession with banners
and a band of music, was formed, and marched
lo lhe stand, where excellent addresses were
delivered by Messrs. H. D. Maxwell and A. E.
Brown. Boih speakers were frequently inter
rupted by the expressions of approbation and
responses of the meeting. Easton Whig.
The following is a copy of a handbill posted
up in portions of Sussex and Warren counties :
"Polk and Dallas Meeting. 'I here will
be a splendid COON HUNT at the Coal Job,

less highly exciiing, but subject sometimes to
sad mishaps. ( ake the following illustration :

Upper Hlonnt Bethel meeting.
GREAT TURN OUT.
On Saturday lhe 17ih instant, the largesi
meeting was held at Sandi's Hotel, in Centre
ville, that has been witnessed in ilie county of
Northampton since 1840. Afier the company
had dined, the meeting was organized in an ad
joining grove, by calling
D. B. HA ZEN, to the Chair, and appointing
the following Vico Presidents : C. Keiser, H.
Beck, C. Schoch, J. M. Fair and Dr. William
Clark ; and John Smith, Dr. S. Walton, John
Emery and Jacob Brodt, Secretaries.
On motion of Jacob D. Deiiterich, the chair
man appointed the following committee to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the meet
ing, viz. Jacob D. Deiiterich, Geo. Troxsell, J
Hunlsberger, S. Brodt, Jesse Reichard. Philit
Schoch, Philip Brodt, Abel Miller, Jacob Al
bert, Jacob Deitterich, sen. John Cressman,
Frederick Dehr and Daniel Lerch, who report
ed the followtng which were adopted unani
mously :
Whereas, The Stale and Presidential elec
tions are approaching, and will soon take place,
we deem it proper and necessary that we should
declare our principles, so that it cannot again
be said, and falsely so loo, as in the revolution
of 1840, that the true principles of the Whig
party were not before lhe people, and thai the
victory then gained was a mere triumph of Log
Cabins, Hard Cider and Song Books. There
fore to set at rest future calumnies, we do here
by proclaim the following to be our principles,
and that we will neither stint nor flag in our ex
ertions in promoting lhe election of out candi
dates, believing them true and faithful, from the
facl that thev have for vears been their most
prominent advocates.
First, ihen we declare, That we are in favor
of a single Presidential term of 4 years, believ
ing that it will have a tendency to destroy the
corrupting influence of office holders.
Second. We believe thai the proceeds of the
sales of our Public Lands should be distributed
among the States, to whom they of right belong,
and that the expenses of Government in time
of peace should be met from other sources.
Thirdly. We are opposed to taxation by the
General Government to meel the current ex
penses. Fourthly. We are in favor of holding all pub
lic officers lo a strict accountability of an en
tire separation of the purse and sword and a
determined hostility to all executive encroach
ments and usurpation of power.
Fifthly. We support a Tariff of duties so ar
ranged as to afford an adequate revenue and
reasonable protection to domestic industry. Be
lieving the Tariff of 1842 to answer these pur
poses, we give it to our undivided support, and
shall use all honorable means to prevent its re
peal. Sixth. We are in favor of popular privilege
through a Representative Legislature against
irresponsible and tyranical assumptions of pow
er in the person of an executive believing thai
the constitution provides for its own explana
tion in the existence of a Supreme Court, and
lhat all public officers are bound to acquiesce
iherelo.
Seventh. We are in favor of internal improve
ments by the general Government.
Eighth. A sound currency regulated by the
will and authority of the nation, and of retrench
ment of public expenditures. We therefore,
Resolve, That in elevating HENRY CLAY
of Kentucky io the Presidential chair, we are
supporting a man who imbibes the foregoing
principles, and one who has always been the
champion of popular rights the defender of
his country's honor abroad, and lhe advocate of
its best interests at home. ' That in refering to
his public services, we find his name inscribed
on every page of his country's records for forty
years, with everything lhat is noble and just.
Ever foremost in battling for that which had in
its tendency the welfare of this glorious Union
and lhe promotion of civil and religious liberty.
Resolved, That in THEODORE FREL1NG
HUYSEN we find a true and devoted Whig,
a statesman, scholar and philanthropist a man
well known as being pure in heart and an un
flinching advocate of those principles that will
perpetuate our free institutions and render our
country and its citizens prosperous and happy.
Resolved, That we oppose James K. Polk,
because we believe him hostile to the Tariff of
1842 as he himself declares in a letter publish
ed in 1843 in Tennessee, he says "I am opposed
to the Tariff act of 1842, and in favor of repeal
ing it and restoring the compromise act of 1833.
Believing as I do, lhat the incidental protection
afforded by the 20 per cent, duty will afford
sufficient protection to manufacturers and ail
thai they ought lo desire or to which they are
entitled."
Because he is opposed to lhe distribution of
the sales ol the public lands an enemy lo
American industry, and consequently a zealous
friend of free trade principles principles that
every true Whig holds inimical to the true pros
perity of his country.
Beeaus-e we believe his feelings to he sec
tional and void of that patriotic heart that looks
lo the good of lhe whole country.
Resolved, Thai we will support Gen. JO
SEPH MARKLE for Governor of Pennsylva
nia, because we believe him a true, patriot, an
honest man, and one who will administer our
Stale affairs upon restrictive and economical
principles ; such as will have the tendency to
lessen our public debt and eventually relieve
our citizens from taxation.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this Meet
ing be signed, and published in iho Easton
Whig and Siroudsburg Republican.
Signed by the Officers.

tural Society, down east, for the best mode of

Coanororctei's in Perry County.
A late number of the Perry Freeman con
tains a statement signed by thirty-five working
men at Juniata Furnace in ih.it county, of which,
after repelling the slai.der of a Locofoco piper
that they had become Clay men out of fear of
their employers, they ue the following lan
guage :
" A majority of the undersigned openly de
clare that they have labored nearly all their
lives at Iron establishments, and acknowledge
they have voted the Democratic ticket time af
ter time in the face of their employers without
either fear or restraint ; and would yet continue
to do so if the experience of the past had not
taughl us a lesson never (by us) to be forgoiten.
We were taken by the hand, led with Demo
cratic faith, and assured that all was right. We
believed it, we. mnfidud in lhe doctrine, we
clung to it, we advocated lhe party, and we vo
ted to uphold it, until to our sorrow, tee found we
were crushing ourselves under its heavy weight.
We found we were robbing ourselves by our
own acts, and were helping to bring difficulties
upon ourselves, which we had not the power
lo remove, if we persisted in that course.
The undersigned say that ihey are all work
men at lhe Juniata Furnace; thai this is their
own free act that they have been forced by
lhe foul slanders and false representations of
the Perry County Democrats alone to make
this statement to the public; and lhat they are
all voters.

honeyed promises and sayings. Yours, &c.

We find the following in lhe Detroit Daily
Advertiser. Mr. Hatch speaks for himself:
" Although I still hold many opinions in com
mon with the Democratic party, these two
questions (the Tariff and Texas) afford sufficient
reasons, why right, patriotism, and regard to the
well being of the country, should lead me to
vote for HENRY" CLAY" in preference to Jas.

Effect of Blair's Slanders.
The ruffianly course pursued by Amos Ken
dall, Francis P. Blair, and other Locofoco edi
tors, will prove disastrous lo the party lo which
they belong. Give them rope enough, (as we
have often said,) and they will certainly hang
themselves. We have a case in point in lhe
following which we copy from lhe Alexandria
Gazelle :
u I observe in the Globe of yesterday, one of
the most disgusting and vulgar exhibitions, (I
know not by what other name lo call it,) lhat I
ever met with in any paper. Its caption is a
brandy bottle, a pack of cards, a pistol, with the
words " shooi lower," "war, pestilence, and
famine." Then follows what is termed "the
embodiment of Henry Clay," &c, but which I,
think, might be called " the embodiment of scur
rility and falsehood " The Globe may rest as
sured that such things will not advance the
cause of the Democracy. For one if such a
course as this is to bo followed, the writer of
this renounces all fellowship with the party."

A DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Shunk.
If she following, from the Pittsburg Ameri
can of August 5, be a correct representation of
tMr. bhuiiks demagogueism, we should be sor
ry to see him the Governor of Pennsylvania.
We do not wish to see Catholics imposed upon.
Philad. Gaz.
Mr. Shuttle made a speech in Dutch io his
Catholic friends of thai language. Ho told
them that iho Democrats were their friends,
and in all their difficulties with the Protestants
were side by side with them. That iho Whigs
were friends of the Native Americans, who
wanted lhat they should be here twenty-one
years before they could vote. That Mr. Muh
lenberg who had been a Protestant preacher,
had quit the calling io defend ihem in their
rights, ami thai mi this he was supported by the
democratic parly. This was all well received
and wiih applause, as they knew Mr. Shunk
had walked wiih ihem before in procession
wiih his hai off, and kneeled with them when
they raised the host. Wo do not vouch for this
being his exact language, bul H is as near as
we can get it turned into English. If ho will
iraiulalo tl fairly wc will publish it for him.
Jos. C. Potts, of Trenton, who has rerm.
ly been doing stump oratory for Polk and 1)4.
las in various parts of the state, had a very prct.
ty piece of pathos spoilt for future use the other
day at Newark. He had trumped up a most
touching story of a poor maniac, lhe distracted
mother of sundry interesting children, who
been committed to the cold clods of the valley,,
leaving her destitute orphans to the cold chart
ties of an unfeeling world. This was the witl()w
of the " murdered Cilley." Unfortunately fr
our orator, some matter-of-fact personage who
heard him happened to be in possession of i h
fact that Mrs. Cilley was alive, in good health
of mind and body, and that her children were
all placed in a way to do well in the world.-,
This was a most unfortunate occurrence for Mr.
Polls, pathos being by no means his forte, h
was a cruel blow, that destroyed all his stock in
trade at one fell swoop, and left only his worn
out ribaldry, his stale calumnies, and ten thous
and times refuted falsehoods respecting the U.
ther of the American System, and chief an,J
leader of American Democracy. That Mrs.
Cilley is alive anil well, and her young faintly
in comfortable circumstances, must lie a pick
ing reflection to all; bul it should be particular
ly gratifying to tho-e Locofoco blooil-driukert
who, by precipitating his quarrel with Grave-.,
furnishing the fatal weapons, and arranging tm
deadly regulations of the combatplunged their
friend and ally into the grave they had prepaid
for his raw and unskilful opponent Belvidcre
Apollo.

.Erode of Propagating Fruit Trees.
. A New-Hampshire paper says: Two of the
best farmers within our knowledge secure their
fruit trees thus: they dig at some distance from
the body of a favorite iree until they find a.
root which they cut off. The part disjointed
from lhe tree is turned up so as lo appear atimv
the ground. This sends forth shoots the firtt
season, and bears in a few years fruil precise
ly like the parent tree. Let those whose tree
are decaying, or wish to increase good virt
ues, try the experiment.
