FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, JAMES M. POWER, OF MERCER COUNTY. The Whigs of Mercer county, Pa. have nom inated Thomas Pumroy and Robert Black, as candidates for the Legislature. D. B. Hays, E?q , of Mercer, was recommended as the Whig candidate for Congress. A New V. S. Bank. The Sub-Treasury jut established by the Bank hating Locofocos, says the Harrisburg Intelligencer, is neither more nor less than a U. S. Bank. It is stated ihat some S3, OOO, 000, of Treasury Drafts have been already circulated in ihe West and South. They are issued in $50 and $100 notes, beautifully en graved, and are said very much to resemble "bank raps. The Whig Conforees of the 24th Congres sional district, have nominated Alexander Ir vin, Eq., of Clearfield, Pa. as trie Whig can didate for Congress. Ax excellent nomination. Mr. Irvin was formerly a Senator in the State legislature, and is one of the most popular men in the district. The Whm Convention for the State of New York, to nominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and two Canal Commis sioners, is. to assemble at Utica on the 23d of September next. The "Statesman," the Locofoco organ in Ohio, closes a savage article on ihe President's veto of the River and Harbor Bill with the fol lowing emphatic language : " We most ear nestly hope that the doy is not long coming when every true democrat will have, in bitterness of heart, to ask pardon of God and man for having aided in elevating to power, men who mistake treachery for good conduct, and paltry shifts for great statesmanship." Dead Body. We omitted to mention last week, that on the 2d inst. a dead man, supposed to be 35 or 40 years of age, was found in the woods about 6 miles east from this Borough. He evidently had been dead some weeks. Judging from papers in his pockets, his name was believed to be Jacob Anthony, probably from Stroudsburg. Wilkcs-Barre Advocate. The discharge of the Louisiana Volunteers has excited much feeling at New Orleans, and tho Secretary at War is generally and very se verely censured. So disheartening has been the effect of the conduct of the Secretary, that of the six thousand volunteers who are thus dis banded, only one company will remain under the twelve monthrs enlistment. And yet while in camp and on doty, their conduct excited gen eral admiration, and the concurrent testimony of Gen. Taylor and his officers in their favor, attends them in their departure from the camp. That they did their duly is evident, and the conduct of the Secretary, in his weakness and inefficiency, becomes something more than merely reprehensible, in having lost to the ar my a valuable and reliable body of men, when a proper course of conduct would have retained tbem for any length of time in service. A Treaty with the Pottawatamie Indians, which was concluded on the 28ih ultimo, has been officially published. By this treaty, the possessory right of the Potiawatamies to sorao eix millions of seres of land is extinguished fivo millions of valuable land lying between the Missouri and Mississippi, west of the Slate of lows and north of the State of Missouri, and one million of acres on the Osage river, west of the laitor State. The State of Iowa will, by this treaty, gain a front on the Missouri ri er of 'several hundred miles, and that State and r ib United States obtain possession of five mil rr,tiOgofJuitfai&nd saleable land, towards which t j&rgf ersigrsiUHi hz$ already Ken directed. THE TRUE ISSUE. The Berks County Journal throws the follow ing banner to the breeze : THE ISSUE IN OCTOBER NEXT : James HI. Power AND THE Whig Tariff of '42. Win. B. Foster AND THE British Tariff of AG. People of Pennsylvania, here is the issue fairly mated. The election of J AS. M. POW ER, will be regarded all over the Union as ev idence not to be misunderstood, that PENN SYLVANIA is not to be PROSTRATED IN THE DUST, or her honest voters CHEATED AND HUMBUGGED with impunity while every vote polled for W M.B.FOSTER will be deemed an expression in favor of Free Trade and ihe BRITISH TARIFF of 1846. This is the true issue. James M. Power, the Whig candidate, is the true Tariff candid ate. He is known to be a Tariff man a Pro tective Tariff man and should be, and we trust, will be voted for by ail the free and independ ent voters of Pennsylvania, who are sincere in their profession of friendship for the Tariff, and who desire a repeal of the odious BRITISH Tariff Law lately forced upon the country by ihe Locofoco party, through the most outra geous fraud and treachery that ever disgraced the annals of American legislation. William B. Foster, on the other hand, not only is the candidate of the party that has com muted this wrong upon Pennsylvania, and reared the Free Trade standard, but he is known to be an avowed FREE TRADE MAN! as much so as Mr. Wilmot of this state, who voted in Congress for the British bill, and prob ably as much so as Mr. Secretary Walker or James K. Polk himself. This is well known to all who are acquainted with Mr. Foster, and are familiar with his sentiments, and should be sufficient to deter every true friend of protec tion from voting for him. It is argued by the Locofoco presses and leaders, that this question should not be brought to bear upon this election that it has no con nection with it, &c. This is all gammon. This election has a direct bearing upon the question, and the result of it will be so regarded both at home and abroad. If Foster be re-elected, it will be heralded forth as a Free Trade triumph, and the taunt of the insolent Sevier of the Sen ate, that Pennsylvania might be ground to the dust by the party as they pleased, still she would vote as she ever did ! would be iterated and re iterated again and again, and insult would be heaped upon injury. Bui let the freemen of Pennsylvania now arouse from their lethcrgy throw off the yoke of party in which they have been held as in bonds of iron, and assert their rights, by voting against the Free Trade can didate for Canal Commissioner. If they do this, as we firmly believe they are prepared to do, the powers that be will be made to tremble and pause in their mad career. Let them show that the people of Pennsylvania cannot be in sulted and wronged with impunity, and her voice' will hereafter be treated with more con sideration and respect. They owe it to them selves, at this first election, to visit upon their betrayers the punishment they so justly deserve for the gros6 fraud practiced upon them in 1844, and we trust and believe tbey will do it. Let the issue be kept distictly before the people: POWER and a Protective Tariff. FOSTER and British Free Trade Harrisburg Intelligencer. Here be Truths. Mr. Brownson hit off the radical or locofoco portion of the democratic party when he spoke of them in the following language, which is in dubitably, English, and every man can under stand it. He says : " When I find men who are stoeped in cor ruption, gorged with the spoils of the people, holding themselves up as the especial friends of the people, and loud in their advocacy of the democratic theory, and in their condemnation of all who question its soundness, I am irresis lably led to the belief that there is something in the theory itself peculiarly favorable to the prosecution of their corrupt designs, and I want no better evidence to assure me of its utter hos tility to" the legitimate ends of government. What we want is not windy professions about liberty and equality, noisy rant and frothy dec lamations about democracy, but substantial free dom, however secured, for each individual to perform, without let or hindrance, his especia functions in the social body, whether it be func lion of the head, of the hand, or of ihe foot. The rca enemies of this substantial freedom are your dmocfctio politicians, who with their lips praieo the people, nd with their hsnds ptck their pockei6, or those who act the jackals to their dainty chiefs, who are too exalted to plun dcr except by proxy. It is because democracy affords an ample field to these political spoils men that I chiefly distrust it, and demand the prcsenation of our constitutionalism as some proiccikm, against, them of ihe mass ic.y Hatter From the Whig and Journal. THE LOCO FOCO MEETING. Grand blowout and lear-ont of the Union and Harmony Party of Northampton Comity ! The annual meeting of the Loco-focos of this county came off on Monday last, and was a de cidedly rich affair. The two opposing factions of Red-fins and Mormons who have now artayetl themselves under the respective banners of "Free Trade" and " Protection," were in strong numbers, and did their utmost to carry out their several ends. At the appointed hour C. C. Tombler, of Bethlehem, was agreed upon as a compromise candidate for chairman, and after the further organization had been completed, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions. At this stage of ihe proceedings a difficulty arose in regard to the revision of the delegate system,' which, after a discussion of two hours, was settled in favor of the Mormon protection ists, by referring the whole subject to the next Delegate meeting. The discussion was con ducted by Messrs. Brodhead, Porter and Reed er, who in turn told many unpalatable truths of each other. After the Resolutions reported by the com mittee had been acted upon, Mr. Brodhead of fered one in favor of our United States Sena tors and the Protective Policy and against the Tariff 'of 1816. This gire rise to another lengthy discussion and finally ended in break ing up the Meeting in a row." A majority of the meeting was to all appearance in favor of the Resolution of Mr. Brodhead, and if its op ponents would have allowed a direct vote to be taken upon it, it would no doubt have been adopted. But this they would not do ; and af ter various motions to amend, postpone, ad journ, &c. had been voted down by the friends of the Resolution, the meeting became so exci- ed, uproarious and unmanageable, that the chairman abdicated his seat, and the meeting ended in utmost confusion. It was a rate scene for the Whigs who were preseni " as lookers on," to hear the champions of democracy, who in 1344 helped in perpetra- ing the fraud which imposed upon ihe nation a Southern Free-Trader as Chief Magistrate, dis cuss the tariff question, and endeavor to explain away the speeches they made in that year. They all professed still to be the unwavering- riends of protection. But while they did so, the very acts of some of them gave the lie to their words. Some of them, it is true, still stand by their former professions, (whether for the love they bear the principles of protection, or for lheir own private interests, we will not undertake to determine,) and had tho manliness to tell the people present that they were de ceived in 1844, and that if the people had known the real sentiments of James K. Polk, he could never have been elected President. During the progress of this interesting de bate, several gentlemen of the Free-Trade-Red- Fin tribe, bad the politeness to propose thai all the Whigs present should be turned out of the Court House. This to say the least of it, was very uncivil treatment. The Whigs present behaved themselves with the utmost decorum, and it has always been the custom for the cu rious members of one party in the county to at tend the meetings of the other without moles tation. If the Whigs were really in the way, the gentlemen who moved and seconded the proposition to eject them, saw enough in their intercourse with them during the campaign last fall, to know that a hint that their absence was desirable, would have been enough, without the trouble of turning them out ! We therefore con sider (his decidedly bad treatment at the hands Lof those with whom we acted in good political faith last fail, and who were so generous to us then as to help fill up the " Old Stone Fort" with staunch, thorough-going Whigs for three years. Panic making. The Washington Union, and the free trade advocates, as a last resort to save the party from the effects of their destructive, anti-demo cratic measures, are raising the cry of, panic! panic ! panic ! not only against the Whigs, but against democratic men and journals that have dared to simd by the great interests of the country, attempted to be struck down at one fell swoop of the nigger-driving and nigger-breeding, non-producing democracy of the South. The real panic makers are these same demo crats : their new and unlookod for free trade Tariff has made all the panic there is in the country. The Southern democracy are contin ually striving to make panics by their rascally legislation against the great interests of the North. They have brought a war upon us for the acquisition of slave territory, at an expanse of more than two millions of dollara : and in the midst of it, have repealed a tariff barely ade quate for the ordinary expenses of government, destroyed b!1 protection to the great interests of jfe only industrial portions of the Uniotf rn dering it necessary in less than a year, to re- sort to direct taxation to support a war for the extension of.the area of slavery! which taxa tion they know must fall chiefly upon the free stales, as nearly one half of the population of the slave stales have a representation in Con gress without beinn subject to taxation. Thus - o f , . . r . t t i u. down by these same free trade slave-holders, will have to pay more than double as much as the slavo states, m proportion to population, to , , r.t- r. . i: .i i wards tile expense oi mis war tor exieiiuuig me i I black foul blot upon our national escutcheon.

Easton Sentinel. That Clamor. Senator Sevier has a queer notion of our la-1 boring men. He would slop them from pet i tioning on tho Tariff, because ihere would be " a clamor and uproar in all the workshops Suppose there was have not the men there a right to speak and be heard ? Is ihe Senator's ear so dainty that the very sound of the voice of our blunt artisans grates harshly upon it, or his hand bo very delicate that it will be defiled by their rough salutations ? If there be any . clamor" worth listening to any " uproar" worth stopping to consider it is the earnest and honest clamor- and uproar of American workshops. And the Washington Union avows this same thing ! It protests against " memorial after me morial" being sent to the Senate against the pet measure of the Administration! And what is this but saying to the industry of the country in effect " Silence your talk. Let us have no more of it. We, the Powers that be, want this measure passed, and it must be passed. Suf fer, but be silent. No Senator has a right to disturb ihe Executive by your petitions, and you must not disturb us by agitating the ques tion." There is a lofty pretension for you ! It is language befitting a Despot to utter is it language befitting Freemen to hear? Only think of it ! Executive usurpation was the party cry upon which the dominant party obtained power under General Jackson. And now where are we? All things consolidated or consolidating at Washington, and the one man power becoming more and more supreme every day ! Cin. Gaz. Crops in Pennsylvania. The editor of the Washington Reporter who has been on a tour through a large portion of the Stale remarks that a more abundant harvest has not rewarded the toil of ihe husbandman in many years. The general opinion is that tho yield to fall grain is three fold that of past seasons, and the grain in all cases well filled and perfect. The grass crop is of almost unex ampled productiveness. We found, says he, many of the farmers mowing their pasture grounds a thing very unusual. Corn fields never gave a greater promise of fruitfulness ; and ihis observation holds equally good in re spect to upland and lowland. So, also of oats, which will yield an extraordinary crop. This is cheering. From the Army. We have New Orleans dates to ihe 7th insl. which contain a few additional particulars from the army. Gen. Taylor was despatching regulars to Ca margo with all possible haste; likewise sending large supplies of munitions. The highest point on the river at which any of the Volunteer troops were stationed was at Lomita, between Buriia and Matamoras. Gen. Worth had been ordered to lay out a camp for 10,000 men at Camargo, and establish a depot 60 miles from there on tho road to Mon terey. The steam-ship Massachusetts left Brasos .July 21st, bound to New Orleans, wiih volun teers. The ship Howard, of Savannah, from Liverpool via.

We are pleased to see one democratic paper, the Philadelphia American Sentinel, assuming a bold and decided tone against the anti-Atner- ! lean policy of the Administration. It says: " The Warehouse system is British all over ; British workmen are to make the goods, Brit ish agents to sell them, British ships are to car ry them, British carpenters, riggers, black smiths, &c, are to build the British ships, Brit ish captains to command them, and British sai lors to man them, and the only thing that is American connected with this system, is that American money is to pay for this British de vice to impoverish our country. Our American merchants will probably then not import on their own account from England, and may have no. occasion for building American vessels. PRIVATE SALE.
