Col. Bigler ill Stroll dbnrff.
On Saturday last, agreeably to appointment,
Col. Wm. Bigler, the Locofoco candidate for
Governor, addressed a public meeting at the
Court House, in this place, composed of his
party friends and such others as were desir
ous to hear his views upon the different topics
of National or Stale policy. We will'cn
deavor to give (without pretending to report
him literally,) his principal positions.
He admitted the finances of the State to be
in a more prosperous condition than under for-
mcr administrations that the revenues were
increased and a sinking fund founded which
, ,, ,. . c . , .
was gradually liquidating the State debt
hut most emphatically denied that the present
Administration was entitled, to the least cred-
it for it He had, while in the Senate, re
ported a plan for it " the lamented Shunk"
had recommended it in a message all the
Whigs had done was "to make a box to hold '
the mono'," and that he felt quite sure that
he could do just as well, ("the people would
only let him try. Is he not a magnanimous
opponent
Speaking of the Expenditures under the
different Administrations, he said the expen
ses of Government under Shunk in 1847 were '
S26.000 less than under Johnston in 1850 ; '
but he forgot to tell us that in '47 the Whigs
had a majority in both branches of the Le
gislature ; that in 1S50 his own pirty had
the majority, and raised the salaries of most
of the public officers, themselves included.
His tariff notions were highlv conservative, '
and most cautiously expressed. A tariff for
revenue would, he thought, of course inciden
tally protect, to "a greater or less extent, the
manufacturing interests the tariff of 18-16
might possibly, perhaps, be changed for the
better he even ventured so far as to say
that, in his judgment, duties a Ehade higher
should l.e levied upon imported Coal and
Iron, it ivas, however, a Subject of difficulty
and really puzzled wise heads.
Upon the Compromise measures he was '
most explicit. He went the whole figure.
TJie Jovctr of $10,000,000 to Texas to keep
her still, was of no more consequence than
the lump of sugar whfch the anxious mama !
gives to a peevish child to keep it quiet; the '
"Fagit.ve Slave Law" was the "ne plus ul- '
tra' of good and wise legislation it hushed
the storm of political agitation had saved
the Union and would jetsave it two or three
times more was even a blessing to the fugi
tive. Governor Johnston had no business to
keep the B:ll in his 'breeches pocket repeal
ing the law of '47, refusing the use of our
jails to "hunters of men" that law was un
constitutional its repeal was necessary to
allay Southern excitement, and it was better
for fuiritives to be in fail than to be nowhere.
He did not, however, choole to tell the audi-
. u.. , ' u., u.a
MILC tllJL lilt; JUtilUllLCU fcJUUlllV l"!SlUiVU
, , . . ....
upon the law of 4 by giving it his signature,
or that he, Col. Bigler gave his vote for it
in the Senate, or what is still worse, dodged
the question. In fact, upon these topics the
man talked just as we ought to expect a man
to talk, who is moved and seduced by the in
stigations of James Buchanan, the prince of
time servers and dough faces in Pennsylva
nia who, should he ever get a "mess of pot
tage" as the price of his manhood, would get
infinitely more than it is worth.
An Independent Ticket has been
formed in Northampton county. Composed
as it is of men of sterling qualities, most of
them possessing talents far above the regular
Locofoco nominees, we shall be disappointed
if a large portion of it is not elected.
The following is the Ticket:

reins of power three years longer, by which
time Pennsylvania will be firmly planted in
the road to prosperity and the redemption of
her embarrassing and DOWN PRESSING

'Conflicting Testimony.
Judge Woodward in his speech at Phila
delphia on the 23d ult. said :
"He did not think Gov. Johnston was an
abolitionist for he believed him to be a man
! of Joo niuch sense, and loved his county too
! well, to adopt such dangerous views."

Locofoco doctors! They contradict each

It is a singular fact that the expenses
of Government were less in 1847 than any
previous year for a "long time. That year
the Whigs controlled both branches of the
Legislature and reduced the expenses of tho
Legislature and public printing THIRTY J
THOUSAND DOLLARS from the amount
fixed by the economical Locofoco Legislature !
of 1845 !

Locofocos and Laborers.
Locofocos talk of their sympathy for the la
boring man and mechanic. Their acts show
they are his most bitter enemies. James
Buchanan, their great leader in this State, is
known to be in favor of reducing wages in
this country to the 'Ten Cent" standard of
Europe, and William Bigler's policy and the
policy of the whole Locofoco party lead to
the same end. They are in favor of increas
ing the value of money and reducing the rates
of wages, in order that our luboiers here may
more successfully compete with the pauper
labor of Europe. Locofoco policy has brought
! the farmers' market to its lowest ebb.

THE FIRST G5JKI!
Maryland Flection nil Right!!!
Maryland has elected FOUR Whig Mem
bers of Congress out of the Six to which she
is entitled. The names of the successful can
didates are as follows :
First District R. I. Bowie, Whig.
Second District-W. T. Hamilton, Locofoco.
Third District-Edward Hammond, Locofoco.
Fourth District Thomas Y. Walsh. Whig.
' Fifth District Alexander Evans, Whig.
Sixth District D. M. Henry, Whig.
This shows a Whig GAIN of one. Member,
and ensures the vote of Maryland for the
candidate for the next Presidency, should the
Election go into the House of Representatives.
The Whigs of Maryland have done nobly !
Let us' imitate their example.

Oir Whig Governor.
The Greene county paper thus sums up
in brief some reasons for advocating the
re-election of our present excellent Whig
Governor:
We nail to our mast-bead to:day the
name of William F. Johnston as our
choice for the next Gubernatorial candi
date. Thc considerations which actuate
us in so doing we briefly subjoin. He is
! our first choice for Governor,
Because, He is "Iioncst, capable , and
faithfld to hc Constitution" thus coming
J Jm to the standard required and
, ffcer in fche d qU d of Qur
! fathers, in all candidates for offices,
Because, He has made one of the best
and most efficient Governors that ever
guided the destinies of the State.
j Because, He has ever vindicated our
state honor and credit, whether assailed
i i
DJ parucaus ai norae or ianaucs a-
S
urouu.
Because, He has ceaselessly since his
elevation to the Gubernatorial chair ex
hibited a paramount desire to rid our
State of an enormous debt, and our citi
zens from the heavy and oppressive bur
dens of accumulated taxation.
Because, He has shown an abiding zeal
fer the cause of the people, which no op-
' P03011 cou'd dampen,.and no combina-
; tl.. of adver circumstances abriJge.
Because, He has proven himself to pos
sess the moit exalted talents and accom-
. plishments 01 the wise statesman anu ci-

Because, Pearless in the discharge of
every duty whicb he finds prescribed in
the Oonstituiton or in his oath to support
and advance the common weal, uo mean
or mercenary considerations have ever,
or will ever, mislead him in thc discharge
of his Executive function.
Because, Under the workings of meas
ures advocated and sustained by him, the
State debt has been reduced half a mil
lion of dollars; aud if he were continued
as Governor the credit of the State would
be so plainly and palpably invigorated,
that no sophistry of Locofocoism would
be found sufficient to go back and enlargi
again our indebtness, and raise again
our taxes to thc present exorbitant and
tyranical standard! But on the contra
ry, the people's money would be appropri
ated in its right channel instead of pay
ing Locofoco electioneering expenditure?,
and party pets.
Because, He is now the choice of a large
maioniv ot tne people oi tue oiaie lor
s Opinion of
Foreigners.
It is said that should Mr. Bigler be
ekctsi Governor, George W. Woodward
would be his Secretary of the Common
wealth. Mr. Woodward would willingly
accent it, so as to secure the influence of
; the administration and its hidden guide,
j James Buchanan, for the post of United
States Senator!
I Mr. Woodward is a fit man for the Lo-
f j fe T h Rc
i form Convention, of which he
was a
I '
, member, he offered a resolution on the
1 17th of Nov. 1837. directing one of the
Committess to inquire into the propriety
of "so amending the Constitution as to
prevent anu foreigner uho may arrive in
this State after the Fourth of July, 1841,
j rrom acquiring thc right to vote or to hold.
0mcc n ttis Commonwealth ! !"
In i recent letter dated Wilkesbarre,
6th Sept. 1851 which we find in the
HarrisburgLocofoco papers, Judge Wood
ward alludes to the above resolution. Ho
re-publishes it, and remarks as follows :
"xnis was in iNovemncr, iod. rear-
y four ycars 0f notice was proposed to
i
be given of the contemplated change in
the Constitution time enough for it to go
over the world. And who were to be af
fected by it ? Nobody then in our coun
try, or who for nearly four years there
after, should come to our country, but
only the subjects of foreign princes, who
should arrive after that period. And a3
to these, no elusion from our land
from our social relations from our field
of enterprise, was proposed. They might
come and make thcir homes amongst us,
and rear their families, and live in all re
spects as we do, except only that unles
they arrived before the time specified,
they were not to vote or to hold office."
In this he argues in favor of his pro
position. And this letter was written on
the 6th of last month! And this is the
man whom Mr. Bigler, if he had oppor
tunity, would like to make Secretary of
the Commonwealth!
A Price for, Peaches.
Twenty-five baskets of Morns white
peaches were sold on the steamer John
Neilson, in New York a few days ago, at
ten dollars per'basket. They were very
large, and were bought by a confectiouor
who will put them up in brandy, and re
tail them in the winter at twenty-fivo
cents each. A nunber of baskets of thc
same kind of peaches were sold at tho
rate of two dollars a hundrod. The
yield of "preserving peaches is very
small, and the few that como to market
are taken at whatever brioe tho ownfcr
pleases to demand.
