fiWcannounced in our last weeks paper, on the
authority of the Miners' Journal, that there was
great oppositidn in Schuylkill county, to Judge
Frailey, the Locofoco candidate for Senator, in
this, the 8th Senatorial District. This opposition
is now developing itself.' One ofhis competitors;
Mr Je.daiah Irish, lias announced himself as a
.Volunteer candidate, and we .should not be sur
prised, if tie. would have majorities in Carbon,
Alonroe and Pike counties, over .Judge Frailey;

The: State Treasurer-has given notice that $20Q,r

there is stijl. a balance in the Treasury of 164,-

in the good work. .
" Can -ive Elect Fuller ?
There Is' so ' much good sense in the following
article frbm'thd Berks and Schuylkill Journal; that
we transfer it to our columns, feeling satisfied
that it is as applicable here as in old Berks.'
Let it'be read carefully; -throw 'all doubts to the

success " ' '
'""'"'I'hei-e are a certain class of ''dbObtirig Whigs

beaten in every contest; 1 They are ' constantly
fearing defeat-ariddisasterj and by their words
and actions-doing' more to1 bring about the result
they dread,' thah;twfce thef rfurnber of regular op
ponents. At the last election they confidently
predicted Johnston,' defeat, and when- the issue
proved the fallacy Jof their -gloomy anticipations,
they shook their lieads and feared it would not be
sowell with Taylor. Now, we hear some of
them croaking in'tlie same strain asking every
one they "meet: whether we can elect Fuller, as if
such a'thing was invthehighest degree improba
ble, if not impossible.1 A few. words to those des

We cannot, we will not.belieye that the Whigs,

marshalling. their Jiosts, and whp .daily hear them
maligning tliat-great an(3 good man, Zachary Tay
lor, will sleep .on their arms, and permit them to
-obtain an easy ' victory. We do not believe if, be
cause Jthe principle's fdr-vyhfch they so, nobly c.ori-
tenoea in me nouoie campaign oi ieao, are un
changed in character and importance." We 'db
not believe it, because1 President Taylor "and Gov.
JoHNSTON'have proved true to! 'every tiledsie. So
anxi6us wds' Gen Taylor to become better ac
quainted HvitrYthe wants of Pennsylvania'pand so
important did lie deem her interests, -that, not
withstanding' the oppressive heat of the season,
and the prevalerice'Ofa fearful epidemic,;heleft the
White Mouse, hastened to our State, and mingled
freely with our citizens, iri order that he might, in
his own language, " hecome better acquainted
with her agricultural, mineral, and manufacturing
.greatness." This was a noble act conceived and-
carried out by an honest, a'patriotic and a good
man.' We' do not believe" it,' 'because in this, the
voters of Pennsylvania, who contributed so large
ly 16 the triumphant election of Zachary 'Taylor
have an earnest that he wills JUSTICE to her
BETRAYED interests, and her down trodden
citizens ; because, from thisthey may learn that
tlie Locofocos, who' sought to persuade them that
he was opposed to the protection of American
fridustry,' misrepresented him in their wicked at
tempts to deceive them, and if they judge the pres
ent by the past, they will see that they are now
playing the same game with 'the same cards.
We do not believe it, because like causes produce
like effects, as locofocoism failed them then, so
it will fail again.
But why should the electors of Pennsylvania
rally around, the standard of r HENRY M. FUL
LER, and elect him to a seat in the Board of Ca-
lit ' t ' . k '
riaL Commissioners 1 We think no one who will
ask himself this question with candor and impar
tiality, can for one moment be at a loss" for a! sco're
of cogent and convincing answers'. Every reason
able man will admit, that the Board should be made
up of men from both partie3, as the' opportunity
for " plunder," which it is admitted has for some
years been carried on by the officers on' the pub
lic works, will be greatly diminished, if it be not
entirely destroyed. The candidate who is to be
ejected this. fall,, is "to take the place of Mr. Pow
er, the only Whig now in the Board; hence the
propriety, yea the wisdom of electing lVIr. Fuller.
Again, we have seen the government of Penn
sylvania, Executive, Legislature, State Treasurer,
and Canal Board,. all in the hands ofthe Locofo-
cos, for a long series of years, arid in what con-
jftat?. The torturing process of " plunder" the
lancing of a, vein, at one place and an artery at an-J

Mr. Gamble is an OLD CONTRACTiPRi and of
fice holder on the public works, tvho has grown
rich upon the plunder of the public Treasury .
He janks among the. " uppr tens" in Jersey
Shore,. .and lives in one of the most magnifiicent
and gorgeously decorated mansions hrthat region.
.With all his wealth wrung from the pockets of
the oppressed tax payers of the State he lacks
the ability to discharge the duties of Canal Com
missioner. He is an intellectual dwarf, :and if
elected "would" be a mere tool in the "hands of the
dishonest clique who were instrumental in pro
curing his. nomination. He is decidedly unpopu-J
lar with his own party,, who have .neither forgotten.
or forgiven his political trailorism in '1846, in op
posing and defeating Wm. B. Foster. f
The attempt of the Democrat to humbug and(
deceive the people by representing Mr. Gamble as
" a. Farmer" is characteristic of Locofocoism!
He has been an office holder and office hunter all
his life, and not satisfied with the large amount
of kt spoils,". he has already appropriated, wants
another opportunity to plunder the public treasury.
Should Gamble be elected, there' will be no end
to the PLUNDER heretofore so extensively car
ried on by the Locofoco majority of the Canal
Board. Tax payers, look to your interests !

The British Tariff of 184G.
Does not this walker, Cass, and Buchanan
Tariff profess to substitute English and other
foreign manufactures for those of Pennsylva
nia ?
Does not the success of this measure strike
dowu the manufacturing interests of Pennsyl
vania ?
Is the term " Democracy" so dear to the vo
ters of Pennsylvania as to render them wholly
regardless of their own interests and that of the
State? Will the voters of Pennsylvania sup
port all those measures to which Virginia, Ar
kansas, and Texas may choose to afllx ihg
term Democratic, even when these measures
drain Pennsylvania's vital interests ?
If the manufactures of Pennsylvania become
extinct, by the floods of foreign labor let lorbe
against them, will not the State lose the wboio
value of her iron-and coal mines ? WilL not
all her -improvements lose large amounts of
tolls? Will hot these losses-give rise to. in
creased taxation 1
Has not large amounts of foreign capital, of
neighboring States be.en expended n Pew:
sylvania, devolving very greaUy her leamirces,.
gmng employment to many thousand: wl. per
sons, erecting improvements n houses, canals
railroads, and giving value U all neighburmg
property, paying large taxes to the Si ate, and
large tolls in addition to her public works ?
Would not a discriminating Tariff, taking:
the duty off tea, coffee, &c,', and put upon for
eign manufactures if it hold forth the assurance
of permanency, cause in a few y ears,. the mfiut.
of millions, of capital, and of thousands of la
borers, manufacturers, &c, vastly augin&nim
the amountofrevenue,: and -giving , rise, to new
lines of communication, until the States stall
