We calj attention 1o the proceedings of the " 'Whig Meeting, held at Nazareth, on Thursday last, as well as to the Address lo the people of ihese Congressional and Representative Dis tricts, inserted in another column. Let every "one read them. They present, in a brief, but -comprehensive manner, the important issues to . fee, decided, on Tuesday -next. 'qjpfjl" Te tke Polls! T the Polls! ! , Freemen of Monroe and Pike, on Tuesday next you will be called upon to exercise the sa cred right of suffrage, at the most important General Election that has taken place in Penn sylvania for many years. Wbigs, we cannot, too strongly, urge upon you the necessity of re pairing to the Poll?, and discharging your duty as freemen. Let no consideration induce you 10 stay away. Not only go yourselves, but see tbaf;your neighbors go also. Call upon them, and take ihem with you. Receive no excuse. It in the duty of every man to vote, and ho Whig thould neglect it. Let every Whig, therefore, go to the Polls, and the success of our princi pies and candidates will be certain. A glori ius triumph awaits us; who will not share in achieving it? ' Taxes ! Taxes I ! Taxes.! ! ! 1 1, . it - Let it not be forgotten, on Tuesday next, at ithe ballot-boxf s, that Francis R. Skunk is op posed to a Sale of tke Public Works, and infe- ' vour of contimmg the present oppressive .Slate J ax. JMso, that Gen Joseph Markle, is in fa vorW9$S tfo Public Works, and reducing THE HEAVY SjATE TX ! TlTe Whiff Ticket. We display at the head of our editorial col umns this day, the Whig Ticket for 1844. It is a glorious ticket, and should command the suffrages of an overwhelming majority of the people. Every name upon it is an honour to the party, and the principles which we profess. Who is not proud of such a Ticket ? Onr Cougrcssman. There are two candidates before the people of this District for Congress. Richard Brod head, and Peter S. Michler, both of Easton. We give our preference lo Mr. Michler, and hope a majority of the electors of the District will do the same, as he is in every respect more identified with the best interests of the people, than Mr. Brodhead. He is in favor of the pres ent excellent Tariff, in favor of distributing the Proceeds of the Sales of the Public Lands among the Slates, and of a wise and economical adminiatration of the affairs of the National Government. Mr. Brodhead's advocacy of a Revenue Tariff, is altogether unsatisfactory. He also opposes Distribution, and other saluta ry measures intended for the. good of Pennsyl vania. Who, then, will not rather vote for Mr. Michler, who is known to be right tin all these great questions 1 Onr Assembly Ticket. Wo take pride in presenting the names of Jacob Fatzinger, Henry Desch, and Depue S. Miller to the voters of Monroe and Northamp tan counties, for their support a candidates for the Assembly. They are able and intelligent, and if elected will be an hononto the District. Hundreds of our political opponents will 'vote for them. Pike and Wayne. Paul S. Preston, Esq., of Wayne county, is the People's candidate, for Assembly, in the District composed of Pike and Wayne coun ties. We need hardly call upon our Whig friends there to make a noble rally in his be half. They are up and doing, and will try hard to elect their man. Peter S. Michler, Esq. This gentleman has been recommended to the People of Northampton, Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Carbon, as a suitable person to represent this District in the Congress of the U. States. Mr. Michler is well known to every voter, and needs no eulogium from us. He represented us in the State Senate for four years; and the manner in which he discharged the arduous du ties of that office, gave universal satisfaction. His opinions upon the Tariff and Distribution, are sound and just exactly what the people want to see carried out. Let them therefore. elect him, and they will not have reason to re grot their choice. He will be supported by his opponents as well as by his political friends. Francis R. Shunk. Let it be remembered, that Francis R. Shunk, is an Uld office holder, i hat he has been in of fice, at Harrisburg, thirty-two years, and drawn upwards of SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS from the State Treasury. Let it also be remembered, that he was Gov. Porter's Secretary of State, during tho first three years of his administration, and shared in all the corruptions and lumber-speculations which disgraced that period of our history. Let it also be remembered, that he is opposed to a Protective Tariff, which secures employment to our mechanics and laborers, but is in favor of FREE TRADE, which will flood our land with the pauper labour of Europe. And let it also be remembered, that he is in favor of excluding tht BIBLE from Common Schools. Who can vote for a man like this, when the gallant Gen. Joseph Markle is in the field? Sale of the .RSain JLine. It must not be forgotten that on Tuesday next, the people of Pennsylvania will be called upon to decide whether the Main Line of our Public Works, shall be sold or not. We' are satisfied that nineitentbs of the voters of the State are in favor of the Sale; and are encour aged in their resolution by the united force of the Whig Party and Whig Press. But the loco foco office holders, a,nd office seekers, oppose the sale, and thus endanger the vote uhich is to be taken. Tho Wayne County Herald, of last week, comes to us with the flag hoisted, against the Sale. We have heretofore men tioned other loco papers, which 'take-he same course. Francis R. Shunk, too, is well known to oppose the Sale. What can the honest por tion of our opponents think of this ! Is it not enough to satisfy them that General Markle, and the Whigs, go in for a reduction of the .Stale Tax,-.and the relief of the- people ; and that Francis R. Shunk, and the loco foco lea ders, are the advocates of Taxation, and the friends of extravagant expenditures of the peo pies' money. The Whiff Mass Meeting on the 28Ui of September. We think we never witnessed a more ani mated assemblage of the people, than was to be seen thronging the streets of Stroudsburg on Saturday last. There were men from the dif ferent walks of society, the honest farmer and artisan in their plain attire, the professional man, the merchant, and the man of leisure, col lected in groups, discussing grave questions of State or national policy ; or gazing at the impo sing pageant, as with badge and banner it passed in long procession. A fine delegation came from Pocono, accompanied by the Nazareth band of music. From Brodhead's creek, also, a noble band was sent, in that procession there was one team of 15 yoke of oxen, draw ing 2 or 3 wagons lashed together and well loaded, which attracted much attention. The Smithfield delegation, also, was a spirited af fair, got up in good taste, and very respectable for numbers. But the Whisrs of Mt. Bethel, what shall we say of them. They certainly did the thing up right. The spectacle they pre sented when.passing through the town was tru ly grand. Accompanied by the Williamsburg and the Stewartsville bands of music, and orna mented by several splendid flags, and banners with various mottoes and devices, it could not bo otherwise than most imposing. From Ross, also, the Whigs sent their delegation, and a fine one it was. New Jersey also joined us on the festive occasion. Many were here from the neighborhood of Blairslown many also from Belvidere and its vicinity ; but the Columbia boys took the lead. They came in right good earnest. The procession altogether was a fine m i t It "II I . llf one. rnis we tninn an wm aumu. we may safely estimate the number present at one thous and. Had the meeting been nearer the middle of the week, and had the day been favorable, the assemblage would have been far greater than it was. Of this we have the means of knowing for certain. At the hour of 1 o'clock P. M., the mass of people collected around the stand, c'rected in front of the Female Seminary, while the Sem inary itself, above and below, was filled with ladies, anxious to manifest their sympathy with the Whig cause, and to share in the anticipated pleasure of listening to the fine speakers pres ent on the occasion. The meeting was organ ized by appointing the following officers : President. Dr. WILLIAM P. VAIL. Vice Presidents. George'Troxell, Upper Mt. Bethel. David B. Hazex, do. James Troch, Pocono. James Eley, Ross. James Boys, Stroud. John I. Blair, Blairstown, N. J. John Price, Esq., Price. Charles Saylor, Esq., Hamilton. Henry Smith, Smithfield. Jonas Hanna, Middle Smithfield. John Dawes, Easton. Secretaries. James Bell, Jr. Dr. Charles Walton. Joseph Fenner. Mr. Creveling, of Warren, N J., was now Whig" songs, called upon to sine one of his which he did in fine style. The Hon. Joseph L. White, formerly member of Congress from Indiana, now a citizen of New York, was then introduced to the meeting. Appearances had indicated rain all the previous part of the day, and now it had commenced. The Hon. speak- er therefore proposed that the meeting should adjourn to some suitable place, sheltered from the weather. It was voted, however, by ac clamation, that he should proceed, as they were willing to brave the storm in such a cause. He did proceed, and a more lucid, fair, dignified, and well-compacted argument in "favor of the Protective System could not have been made, under the very unfavorable circumstances of the case. Such plain, earnest, intelligent, home appeals as flowed from the eloquent orator, could not fail of execution. Never did an ar gumentative speaker rivet more closely the at tention of an audience than did Mr. White that day if the eye and whole expression of listen ers is a fair index of what they feel. He took occasion also, in the course of his remarks, to define the relative positions ofMr. Clay ?and Mr. Polk, on the absorbing question of the Ta riff. We only wish that the well meaning, but misled supporters of Polk could have heard him. The leaders of that party, however, take good care to prevent their followers from hearing th plain truth. Not many friends of Polk were on the ground, though the Whigs had turned out to hear the Loco-Foco speakers on the 12th ult. in large numbers. We merely state the fact, and leave inferences to others. After Mr. White had spoken about one hour, it was thought best in adjourn to 'be mansion house of Daniel Stroud, where tho Hon. gen tleman concluded his very able spaech. Th audience then desired that the meeting should be removed to the Court-house, in order that they might see, as well as hear, the speaker. It was done so accordingly. Josiah Randall, Esq., of Philadelphia, was then introduced to the meeting, who entertained the audience with an excellent speech of about an hour in Iengih. He expressed some strong, but to our opponents, not very palatable truths. That was not his fault, however. In ihese limes the motto of those who are struggling for the truth should be " Let justice take its course, though the Heavens should fall." It is not at all desirable that harsh and abusive language should be ut tered ; and a departure from the strict line of truth is not to be tolerated but the plain truth should be spoken, kindly but fearlessly ; kindly to those who have been egregiously deceived and misled by those who know better, fear lessly to those who have resolved to secure the end, irrespective of the means. Mr. Randall asserted that there was not one principle, upon which the self-styled democratic parly had in sisted when Jackson first came imo power, which that name party had not now abandoned. This he had challenged their speakers lo prove false if they could. They had not attempted it. This was indeed a very grave charge, but one that may easily be sustained. In the evening there was some very excellent speaking at the house of Mr. Shively, by Giles M. Hillver, Esq., of New York city, and Jo seph Boughton, Esq., of Binghamplon, N. Y., and by M. Robert Bultz, of Belvidere, ;N. J. These gentlemen acquitted themselves well in deed. The remarks of Mr. Hillyer, especially, were deserving of very serious consideration. He made it evident to any who are capable of honest conviction, that a deep laid plan has been matured, on the part of England, to pros trate American industry, by the dissemination among us of their delusive doctrines of free trade ; free for British subjects, but not free for ugj doctrines suited to the meridian of South Carolina, and of which Mr. Polk is the known friend and supporter. Thus passed off our meeting. Considering the badness of the day, the success was signal. Let no one hereafter deride the Whigs with want of spirit. The Whigs of '44 have the same kind of stuff in them that the Whigs of 76 had. Contending for American principles then contending for them now they will con tend for them always. Several other Whig speakers were on the spot, and would have addressed the people had time permitted. I here was uharles W. Jay, Esq., Editor of the Clay Banner, Trenton, H. D. Maxwell, Esq., of Easton, John Maxwell and Samuel Sherred, Esqrs., of Belvidere, all ready for the stump, good and efficient speak ers, one and all. It will not be said, we pre sume, that ample provision was not made for this meeting. It will not be said by those who regard what they say at any rale that we made a great flourish of trumpets, announcing the Hon. this one and that one, and failed in the end to fulfil our promises ; making, as we had proof not long since on an occasion similar to this, great swelling pretensions, golden prom ises, but, in the event, a most lame and impo tent performance. In conclusion we say that the 28th of Sep tember, 1844, is a day not soon to be forgotten by the Whigs of Monroe county, nor by the Loco Focos neither. That day gave good proof of the indomitable spirit of the Whigs. Now look out for the ides of October and No vember. Nine cheers for Harry Clay of the West, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, and the gallant Markle of Westmoreland. The Governor. This is the last time we can address our readers previous to the Gubernatorial Election, and call upon them to rally in favor of General Joseph Markle, tho hero, patriot, and poor-man's friend. Gen. Markle is a noble specimen of a man. His heroic services during ihe late war, stamp him as one of our bravest and test of soldiers whilst his disinterested sacrifices and devotion to the country, proclaim htm to be eve ry inch a man and a patriot. He is in favor of selling the Public Works and reducing the heavy Stale Tax, and goes for other measures of relief. His opponent is an old Office hol der, who has fattened upon the Stale's money, and is unworthy to be trusted. Who then will you vole for? Will you vote for Francis R. Shunk, who is opposed to your best interests, or will you vote for the old hero, who whipped the British and Indians during the last war, and who will restore our State to the condition in which the plunderers, who now abuse their power, found it ? Gen. Joseph Markle. Gen. Markle, is no office holder. Although he distinguished himself in the most honorable manner during the late war, he has nevor set that up as a claim upon his fallow citizens to elect him to office. He has been contented on his farm, tilling the soil, and improving his mind with sound general and political information. His fellow-citizens, now call him from hir re tirement, to pay a debt of gratitude which, they owe him. Obedient to the call of duty, ho is as ready now to rescue the State from the hands of the plunderers, as he was to ' deliver the country from ihe dangers of art invading foe. Who will not rather vote for him than fpr lb- old office holder, Francis R. Shunk ? Canal Commissioner. If you want lb elect good and experience-l man, Canal Commissioner, on Tuesday next, vote for Simeon Guilford, of Lebanon county. He is therefore well acquainted with the dmiei of the office. His opponent, Joshua Hartshorne, of Chester county, is a doctor. He has speru all his life in studying medicine, &c, and at tending to his patients. He has had no expe. rience lo qualify him for the station, and it would, therefore, be very wrong, and injurious lo tiB State, to elevate him to a place in the Canal Board. We say again, vote for SIMEON" GUILFORD. Onr Prospects. The probability of our success was never brighter than it is at present. . The news from every part of the State is of the most encour aging character, and the friends of Gen. Markle, have but to exert themselves, and poll all their votes, to insure his success. For Congress man and Representatives, our chance is good. In Northampton, great dissatisfaction prevaiU among our opponents in regard to the Regular Ticket, and hundreds will vole against it. A corresponding change here, may secure its de feat, and the triumph of the people's candidates. Let a proper effort be made to secure this de sirable result. Conferee Meeting. A convention of the conferees of this Sena torial district, met on Tuesday, Sept. 24th, the house of Mr. Connor, Mauch Chunk, wfifif it was found that Charles W. Pitman, J. W Roseberry and J. B.
