Tltt: Electing.
On Wednesday evening last the friends of Tay
lor, Fillmore, and Johnston, held a meeting in
the Court-house, in Stroudsburg. Although but
few hours notice had been given the house was
crowded. The meeting was organized by appoint
ing Philip Abbott, Esq , of Ttibyhanna township,
President.; Robert Brown, James Burson, Wm.
Van Buskirk and John J.- Price, Vice Presidents ;
Thomas Stone and1 Theodore Schoch,-Secretaries.
EARL WHE-ISLER-, Esq, the Whig nominee
for Congress of this" District, was Iheri ititroduced
and addressed' the meeting "at some length upon
the questionsa-t issue J?etween the two great, po

P. B. PENNIMANj Editor of the " Honesdale
Democrat,' being called for came forward and for
more than 'an hour ahd;a-,balfrivetted-the attention
of the audrence, by one of the most- convincing ar
guments ever listened-to.- The- trathY prbraulga"-'
ted struclf every" -one' with' peculiar- force they
carne home; to the heart and to the understanding.
He fully explained the operations- of the Fe
Trade Tariff of 1846; and'the'deceptiOns practised
upon the working- classes ; and the claims of the
three prominent candidates now before the people
for the highest offices in their gift, were briefly, but
in a masterly manner contrasted. The soundness
of his arguments we have no doubt carried con
viction to the minds of manv who heard him.
Toluntcers for Assembly,
The following volunteer- candidates for the next
Legislature will be supported by the people of
Northampton and Monroe' counties" who are op
posedUo the ticket brought out by a few leading
politicians: The volunteers are good and capa
ble men, and if elected, will do honor to them
6elves and'pro.mote the interests of the state by a
wise legislation. Let them receive the hearty
support of all independent voters.

Tiat it, was the" duty of the Whigs to exert, them

The Prospect.
From all' the present" fndrcavrons, says. the'Bueks
county Intelligencer, we are m high hopes of the
election of William. F. Johnston, as the next Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. Everywhere his "nomina
tion has been hailed with enthusiastic dempnatra
tiohs of satisfaction ; and hfs personal popoiarity
wherever known will give him many votes from
the opposite parcy. His liberal enlightened, pa
triotic, real Pennsylvania sentiments', endear him
to the peoplet and point him out as eminently fit
ed to watch over and protect the interests' of our
Commonwealth. Wherever he ' goes, the people
flock in masses to h&af him speak ; and the inter
est they manifest, shows that' they are pleased with
the idea of knowing whom and what they vote
for. The strengththe strong probability of the
election of Gov. Johnston, is further manifested
by the bitterness with which the Locofoco press-
assails him. Their rec'klessdness and:disregard of
truth and the common, proprietors of civilised life,
will recoil upon them in'defeat, and embitter the
cup of their disappointment. Not an objection
founded! in truth can they raise against our good
Governor ; and the people will vindicate his char
acter against! their slanderous falsehoods and dela-
mation. iJfdrris- Longstreth, 'the retired city'
merchant," as his :irierids call him, enjoying his
immense private fortune, and holding the office of
CM Commissioner while he asks to- be put in
that of Governor, cannotnlist the' feelings of the
people. 1?here is no reason" why he should be
popular, any more than his radical, ultra Locofoco
doctrines should be popular. The people of Penn
sylvania, despite the potency of party drill, areih
faVor of protecting and developing their domestic
resources drawing fronv'the-Bowels of the earth
the means of furnishing adequate employment and
remunerating wages-to' the laborer, paying the
State'debt and Interest1 with' as' little draft uporr
the pockets of the peoplrarpracticable in short;
taking-care'of numberone; rather than impoverish
themselvear to Build-up and enrich foreign estab
lishments and? foreign' capitalists. Such being
their viewa; they will' vote for William F. Johni'
ston, who agrees with- them in sentiment, rather
than Morris Long'streth who is Opposed to therai
Twr Planks of the Platform.
The composition of that patchwork bit of joine-
ry,Hhe' Buffalo' Platform, is a sore puzzle to a
great manyhdnest men; Who are' unable to find'
out what sort of timber was used in the building:
of it. The following may be considered as" a cou
ple ?of the planks:
The Mexican War." It is due to the future
fame, as well as the present. prosperity ofJthis great
nation,. that it be triumphantly sustained." M'aH
lirr.Van. JBuren. i .. i

It is conceded by all vvell informed politicians'
in 'this-State, whether Cass meni Varn Brtreri men,
Or" whigs, thatth'ejdiv.ision in the. ranks of thea6m-
transfer pf at least fifty thousand whig Votes from
.Taylorto Van Buren ; and. .as We 'have saiti ;be-
fore, twenty thousand is-a liberal estimate. - Those
barnburners, therefore, wliO-.flatterjhemselves that
there is a chance fox Vap-Bulren fihhis State, will
probably find ihmselv$s lag much mistaken as
they were in 1840, when he was so badly beaten
by-Harrison.
- Although the force of regular nominations may
cause the Cass, and, Butler electoral ticket to f un
even better tha'nf , that, of Van-Buren and Adams,
there can be no doubt that the highest of these
democratic tickets will fall some forty or fifty thou
sand below the' Taylor nd. Fillmore ticket.; eVen
if a demonstration .should be. made, by the, young
uuui iiino, in luwiuwii viajr cicuiuicti iicivci..
Such a ticket, under the circumstah'ces, would hot
probably poll over ten thousand votes rn theSt.'tte
many think not five thousand ; arid those would
be given principally by anti-Taylor whigs, who
otherwise might vote for Van Buren.

appetite,, we hare Just seen htm again, after on
ly seven fnontiis service in. the station he now
holds, prespnifng himself lo the people for the
bXecuitve pmce:.ofe our -Commonwealth ; and,
holding in his hand 3 the. chief patronage? of 4ihe
State, he has obtained, the nomination of the
locofoco party.
He, however, refuses to relinquish the. hold
bo has upon. the public crib, but considering "a.
bird in the hand worth two 'm the bush," has
determined, we believe, 10 haiig on to his prei
ent office until he shall see' whether the. p.eopb
will give him a" bettor one.
This is the candidate, who holding ail ihe
destructive principles of President Polk, is pre-
aentea 10 tne people 01 rennyivatna lor their
suffrages to Fennsylvanta, whose bread is
now being taken from their mouths, by the Brit-
rsh policy which sacrifices our laboring men
fur the benefit of the pauper labor .of Europe,
and with which policy Mo'rrfs Lorigstreih is
identified.
If he is hot 'permitted to re'rnatVin his pres
ent office, we-shall be deceivetlin the pedple of
our good old Common wealthj Lebanon Com.
