Welche's Rational Circus.
nBy reference to our advertising columns, the
reader will perceive that this celebrated company
will perform in this place, on Monday, the 14th of
October next.
This company has the reputation of being one
of the'best in the United Slates, and are distin
guished not not only for the excellence of the ex
ercises, but for the correct and gentlemanly de
portment of the whole party. The manager, anx
ious to be worthy of public patronage, has, at con
siderable expense, added a number of celebrated
names to the list of attraction, among whom we
note JEaton Stone, whom we have often seen so
favorably spoken of.
Presented as a Nuisance.
.The Grand Jury of Wayne county, at the Sep
tember term of the Court held at llonesdale, week
before last, unanimously presented as a nui
sance the law of the last Legislature prohibiting
thV circulation of small bills. The editor of the
llonesdale Democrat, has made inquiry as to the
politics of the Jorors, and reports that there were
orily. six whigs in the whole panel. All the rest
were Locofocos.

The District.
There seems to be no lack of discord in the -12th
Congressional district. The conferees met at To
wanda a few days since to nominate a candidate
for congress, when two sets presented themselves
from Tioga. One set was ruled out, and the Brad
ford conferees then retiring, those from Susque
hanna and one set from Tioga nominated James
Lowrey, a violent opponent ofVilmot in '43.
The Bradford conferees and the other set from Ti
owa, renominated Hon. David Wilmot. The Brad
ford Reporter has put up the name of Mr. Wilmot,
and the North Pennsylnanian that of Mr. Lowrey,
and the strife has commenced afresh. John C.
A'dams, Esq., one of the most tallenied and ener
getic Whigs of the North will in all probability be
.the Whig candidate.
The Flood in the Delaware.
'The late storm appears to have caused more dam
age along the Delaware than was supposed. The
Lamberlville Diarist states that more water fell
than has ever been known there before in ihe same
time, amounting to 8 inches during the day. The
Delaware rose 5 1-2 feet in 3 1-2 hours, and sub
sequently rose 12 feet. In addition to the destruc
tion of property, business is suffering heavily from
thesloppage of the mills,.and nearly all the man
ufacturing establishments in the neighborhood.
In New Hope, the mills were all inundated, and
lheoccupants of neighboring houses were taken
out by boats.
Death of the Hon. Henry 2cs.

gratified in being able to announce the appoint
ment of the Hon. A. H. H. Stuart of Virginia as
Secretary of the Home Departmant, and his ac
ceptance of the same. Mr. Stuart was formerly a
representative in Congress from Virginia, and du
ring'the period of his services in that body made
seyeral very able speeches in favor of the Protec
tive JPblicy. He is an able man and a true and
unswerving Whig. A better selection could not
well.have been made.

ADDRESS,
Of the Whig Stale Central Committee to the Free
men of Pennsylvania. S-
Ffllow Citizens : The Election is approach
;ing,..and we all have an important duty lb per for rn.
To discharge that duty fully, faithfully and sue?
cessfully, should be made a high object with eve
ry good- citizen. The offices of Canal Commis
sioner, Auditor General and Surveyor General,
the last two recently made elective, are all depen
dent on the popular voice. The control of the
public works, the supervision of the finances of
the Slate, aie matters of grave concern to the peo
ple. It becomes their interest as well as iheir duty
to elect honest and intellgent men. The policy
of dividing the Canal Board in its political char
acter, so that the interests ofall may be fairly rep
resented and honestly guarded, must be obvious
to every reflecting lax-paying citizen. The pro
priety, too, of surrounding the head of the Slate
Administration with able advisers of the same po
litical sentiment, must be equally apparent. The
Whig Convention which assembled in Pphiladel
phia in July last, placed in nomination for these
offices gentlemen of the highest character for abil
ity and integrity. We know them to be eminent
ly worthy men. We beiieve their eleciion would
be honorable lo our party, and of service to the
State ; therefore we sincerely recommend them to
your earnest support.
The election of Members of the Legislature pos
sesses unusual interest, from the fact that at their
next session they are to apportion the State for
the Congressional representation, and to elect a
United States Senator to serve for a period of six
years from the fourth March next. The experi
ence of last winter has taught us that, in order to
secure a fair and honest Apportionment Bill, it is
necessary to have a Whig majority in the Legisla
ture. The importance of having another oice in
the Senate, to speak for the interests of Pennsyl
vania, cannot be overrated. It is important also
to uphold and sustain our State Executive in the
line of policy he has adopted, a policy which is
largely increasing the revenues of the State, pro
viding for the reduction of the public debt, and
making productive our unfinished improvements.
A wise system of measures, which is rapidly re
deeming the Commonwealth from the. low condi
tion in which the corruption and misrule of former
administrations $f phanged her.
The election of Members of Congress is also of
the greatest consequence. The interest of our
Stale depend on the election of good men. The
great body of the people of Pennsylvania demand
a change of the Tariff. They are told that it is
inexpedient. For four years they have been strug
gling against legislation which closes their coal
mines and their workshops which prefers the for
eign capitalitst in their own market giving bread
to foreign labor which is required for the support
of their twn. The fires of our 200 iron works
have gone out, the hands of 20,000 laborers are idle.
Every branch of industry, Agricultural, Mining,
Mechanical, and Manufacturing, is suffering. A
change is required, such a change as will better
develope the resources of the Stale, and more pro
fitably employ the labor of our people. We want
men who are orthodox on this subject. Men, too,
of firmness, of courage, and of high intelligence,
on whose wisdom, moderation, and patriotism,
we can rely .in periods of danger and difficulty.
Men regarding theinterests of their constituents,
and at the same time looking lo theintegrity
harmony, and stability of the Union.
Our opponents are already in the field. They
have published their manifesto, proclaiming their
virtues and our infirmities in the true spirit of the .
Pharisee. They talk of Galphin, of frauds and of
peculations with which they are most familiar, a
busmg with good set phrase and rounded period
every department of the National Administration.
The highest standard of democratic merit is avow
ed to be an observance of usages, an attendance
upon the caucuses, and a stern adherence to nom
inations by the majority. This constitues the cer
monial of their political worship, never to be aban
doned, no matter what pledges have been violated,
or what public interests are to be sacrified.
We contend for the entire freedom of opinion
and action. Opinion should be free as air, and as
intelligent as education can make it. Men are
not born blind, or with collars on thier necks.
We want good order, just laws, and the honest
administrations of business.
Our opponents talk of honest agents and low sal
aries, while their candidates vote for increased
-pay and higher emoluments. Who have had con-
troi ol tne puoiic worus mr me last iweive years f
Who have audited the public accounts, forgetting
law and prspriely 1 Who have used the public
works for personal and party purposes 1 What
Canal Commissioneis have gambled for votes with
the people's money, rewarded political emissaries
or openly corrupted the ballot box 1 The Will-
lamsport Convention made startling disclosures
We stand in the full light of Democratic revela- J
lions. On their own oaths themselves being I
judges they are condemned.
While we have profound reason to morn the loss
of our distingusihed chief, the President of the li
nked States, summoned hence at an alarming cri
sis in our national affairs, we are yet permitted to
rejoice that his mantle pf office has fallen on the
shoulders of one so able and so worthy to wear it.
Never in the history of the country have our for
eign relations been more ably, more.successfully,
or more gloriously maintained than during this ad
ministration; and never in the history of our State
have the interests of the Commonwealth been
more carefully guarde d or her honor more nobly
defended.
Let us then rally around and support them let
us maintain ihe principles we profess. To this
end, and with these objects before us, if we would
succeed, we must go to work. We must organize
thoroughly, efficiently, and immediately in every
district, county, ward and township. Indi
vidual preferences must give way to the general
good personal differences, heart-burnings, and
discontents be forgotton, and our strifes (if we
have any) be who shall labor the hardest and ac
complish the most for the success of the party, and
the good of the country. Let us especially en
courage our local press establishe it whenever
it can be done, and sustain it when established.
It is the great moral lever which moves the widest
dissemination of correct principles, and ihe high
est inculation of sound political doctrine, should
be encouraged in every possible way. The suc
cess of the Whig party is based on the intelligence
of the people.
The past is full of encouragement, and the fu
ture is full olhope. Let the same spirit which
moved us in 1840 and 1848 move us now, and we
shall triumph. Let our faith be a living and faith
victory is certain.
, HENRY M. FULLER Chairman.
The Approaching Election.
In our lasVwe called the attention of the Whigs
of theState to the propriety of their being ready'
for the approaching contest. We reiterate our
warning to them, that the battle-ground is in view..
But four short weeks will have passed before they
will be called upon to enter upon the contest.
Whigs should be minute men as they were in the
Rovolution ; ever ready to grapple with the foe.
The approaching election is not one of an ordi
nary kind. Beside the State officers now for the
first time to be elected, for which we have an un
exceptionable ticket composed of three unobjec
tionable meife and men of character, ability and
standing, there are to be elected members of Con
gress to represent Pennsylvania in the next Con
gress of the United Stales. The result upon this
field is perhaps more important than upon any other.
The Whigs in all parts of the State have nomina
ted men in favor of American industry, agriculture,
manufactures, and such measures as will contrib
ute to advance the prosperity of the people, and
give a firm stand to.trade and all kinds of business.
In regard to this great matter as a general rule it
may be said that the Locofocos are doubtful, un
certain, and not to be relied upon whatever their
professions, and in most instances they directly
favor produciions by foreign operatives, in foreign
countries, under a miserable and precarious sys
te'm they call free trade. The consequence of
their course upon this subject is, that the bread is
taken out of our peoples mouths, and given to la
borers abroad. In view of this startling consider
ation, no friend of the country can afford to be su
pine and inactive at this election. The irrespon
sible leaders of the Locofocos who have no stake
in the country, or in the result, only as it effects
their likelihood to obtain office, are ever awake,
active, vigilant, untiring and unscrupulous. As
long as they can get the leaves and fishes of of
fice, they little care how many may be without en
ployment, or how difficult it may be for them to
obtain their daily bread. If every person in
the State who is interested in securing a Pro
tective Tariff will vote upon thi3 ticket and vote
as his interest requires, the voice of Pennsylvnia
will be made unanimous upon the question, and
the voice of the country will be determined by our
result Let therefore every man consider himself
personally responsible for the result, and act ac
cordingly. Let every Whig in the State be at the
polls.
Besides these considerations which address
themselves to every Whig in the State, and to ev
ery business man who believes that our manufac
tures ought to be encouraged, a few words can
with propriety be addressed to the honest of our
opponents who do not care about the Tarriff, but
who still desire to see our domestic affairs so ad
ministered as best to promote our private interests,
and save our chilchen from burdens which may
cause penury and want. At the present moment
every accounting officer in the State, and every
administrator of our financial affairs from the Ca
nal Commissioner and Treasury Department,
down to the foreman on the canals and railroads,
are Locofocos. There is no check upon them
which is good for any thing. The proper and on
ly effective check which the people can have up
on these officers, is the vigilence and care of an
opponent among them. Is it not therefore fair
would it not be wise for the people of the State
to demand that one of the Canal Commissioners
should be a Whig, and either the Auditor General,
or State Treasurer a Whig also. The very object
of electing Canal Commissioners was to secure a
chance that occasionally an investigation might be
had by the election of an opponent of the domi-
nant party. The safe piinciple would dictate the
eleciion of a Whig Auditor General, when the
State Treasurer is a Locofoco.
It is true that the present Governor of the State
is a Whig, that as a man and officer he commands
the unlimited respect and love of his party in ev
ery county of the State as will be seen by the res
olutions passed this fall at all the county meet
ings ; and it is not less true that he is a man of
energy, wisdom and talent, and is so regarded not
only in Pennsylvania, but in all our sister States ;
that he is regarded abroad as by far the ablest
Executive officer that Pennsylvania has had for
a half century, and with honesty equal to his abil
ity, which has not always been the reputation of
the Pennsylvania Executives hut it must be re
membered that honest, careful, and able as he is,
he cannot in the nature of our administration be
any check either upon the Treasury Department,
or upon the Public works. He is by the late acts
which have bereft him of the appointing power,
powerless; and had he Argus eyes not one of them
could be put upon the Treasury. The people then
have no check in the ability of the Governor to
help them. They must depend upon themselves ;
and-if they want their affairs scrutinized, they
must themselves appoint agents to do it; and they
can do it only by e lectins at least one Whig as a
Canal Commissioner, and one into the financial
Department. Do you not see this thing and will
you not be wise upon this question ? While there
are artificial checks and balances devised by the
founders of the Government, and by the laws, the
only real practical checks upon dishonesty, parti
sanism,and frauds, along the lines of the canals, I
and in the Treasury Department, are such as we
are recommending. Let some of the officers be
Whigs while some of them are Locofocos.
Nor are Congressional and Executive tickets
the only ones of importance to the people. The
Assembly tickets are also important. It is possi
ble the next Legislature will be called upon to
district the State for ten years it will certainly
be called upon to elect a U. S. Senator. Our prin
ciplesthe principles of the St.ate, require that
this represenative should be a Tariff man a reli
able Tariff man and such men are only found a
mong the Whigs. Such kind of Tariff men as Mr.
Sturgeon, who attribute ihe depression in manu
factures to overproduction, will not answer. But
we want a real Tariff man, and the people should
see to it that we haye one of the light kind.
These are hasty considerations which appeal to
the judgements of the people the freemen as
well as to the Whigs generally. In view of the
pendency of the great question the Tariff ques
tion every officer in the State to be elected this
fall should be a Whig. They are the only protec
tors to be relied upon when this question is up.

Brutal Murder by a Brother. Capt Sidney
Lain having beaten a negro woman.most unmer
cifully yesterday in Mathews County, his brother
William Lain went to his house to remonstrate
with him for such cruelty in beating the negro.
Je told him to leave or he would shoot him, and
taking up a gun he shot his brother down without
more words, and finding he had not killed him, he
reloaded, and placing the muzzle against his bod
y shot again, which caused death instantly. Great
excitement prevails in Matthews County. He
was not arrested, and is supposed to have gone
North.
The loss of life by the recent freshets was much
more extensive than was at first supposed. At
Reading eleven lives were lost at Tamaqua and
in its neighborhood, thirty-one at Berwick Col
umbia county, twenty-one. The aggregate, in
deed, will not fall far short of a hundred, while the
destruction of property was immense. One esti
mate gives the total loss in this way at $4,000,000.
This includes not only Pennsylvania, but New
York, New Jersey, and other points.
The Small Note law. This law, which com
menced operation on the 2lst ult., is very gen

see it or, not to be present when the law is viola
led ; which we know is done here and elsewhere
every day with impunity and scorn. So much for
locofoco legislation on the subject of banking.

Curious. A gentleman residing at Bergen N.

last six months, to decline in health so much, that
he had it killed last week. He had the animal o
pened, when there was found lying between her
lights and heart a large living toad ; and when it
was freed from the blood, it crawled into some wa
ter that was near. The cause of the cow's decline
was in the opinion of some medical men, that the
toad was concealeJ in the vena cava.
A novel covering for house tops, though for some

just been introduced here by Mr. I. H. Landell,
the sail maker. It is composed of sail duck sewed
together and drawn firmly over a roof formed of
boards, similar to those used for tinning, and cov
ered with Ohio paint. It has long been used upon
the upper decks of steamboats, and a roof in this
city thus covered we are assured, turned the recent
storm with remarkable success. The chief ad
vantages claimed for it are its cheapness, being
some 50 per cent less than tin, it is said. It i3
much lighter than tin, smoother, and not liable to
being broken or torn up by the winds &c. New

year such has been the general debillity and

Hogs Without Tails. Mr. O. F. Marshall,

in this section, which have been bred here over
fifty years ; they became nearly extinct about the
lime Ihe Befkshires were so popular; but we have,
with a good deal of exertion; restored them about I
as pure as formerly. They are similar in shape
to the Berkshires, but, the color is red or sandy,
and they have very fine hair. When pure-blooded,

STONE. This extraordinary equestrian, of whose

acts of horsemanship in neither of which does he
use saddle or bridle on his superb steeds, though
they are both as wild and apparently untamable as
when first lassoed by him on the Pampers of South
Ameffca. Their leaps are truly terrific, and it is
impossible to describe the sensations of the behol
