Borongl6. Electiosi. •
The following ticket has been settled'by.the
Whigs in their. Ward Meetings, to be supper
_teiLby_them_at_the-horough-clection--on,=tha
- 21st inst.YThothief and Assistant Burgess,
' the Assessor and the • Town Clerk, will .be vo
tea fOiiin common by tho votiVs of both wards.
The ticke'tis a good one in every respect, and
- will bear,the test of exsinination. The candi
dates are all men of.good character and stand
ing, and if 4 the Whigs rally to the polls as they
ought, the election of each-man will be cer
tain. Our candidate for Assessor is a nape°,
table, intelligent; careful man, ono - wh i r good
judgment well cinalifies him to discharge the
important - duties of Assessor. As the contest'
will probably be most warm for that office, we
hope every Whig will actively exert himself for
the election of Mr. Mattson. Messre. Blair;
Sellers, and Seder, are all youngtand popular
Whigs, who deserve and will receive the
dial support of their political friends as' well
as numerous others.
The candidates for Council -in- each Ward
are equally good men and entitled to the warm
and active support of the Whig party. If the
citizens of the borough want our borough ,af
fairs to bo managed by careful, prudent, re
sponsible men, they will find _the-mon-placed
on the Whig ticket to be such as they can sup
port with safety and confidence. RALLY TO
THE rotas) WHIGS! We warn , you that
your opponents will exert themselves to. the
utmost. They never neglect the small elec-
Hong, and they will spare no exertions to ral
ly their largest veto on Fridu. Be up and
'doing then, Whigs. , Lot every man resolve to
exert - -himself - for the success of the Whig
ticket, and let it be supported without the .
scratching of a single name.

SCOTT AND JOHNSTON.
• , The Whigs of Ponnsy vania, says the I4ad
lug journal, seem - ,Ctoo inmost unanimous in
their choice of Gen. ;Winfield Scott for the
Presidency, and William F. Johnston for GeV
ernor. With regard to the latter there can
scarcely be found a single Whig in the, State
to oppose his re-nomination to a station which
he has so well filled and honored. Ho will,
unquestionably, be named with acclamation by
the Convention to assemble at Lancaster. We
believe, too, iliat he Will balliuniphantly' re
elected. Theindications also aro that Gen.
c ntkwill hpva n largo majority of gnus in
ilTiii.atWhig - Nlaional Convention. Mil the
States in the Union hl/9/3 already declared in
his favor„ and every day is swelling the tide
Of his popularity. At present no other Whig
candidate is seriously' Spoken of. President
Fillmore, it is true, has hosts of friends—
_
(who in the Whig ranlss is not his friend? )
but justico to the brave and patriotio hero of
two wars will no longer admit that his prior
claim should be further postponed.—Of Gen.
Scott's success-there can scarcely be a doubt.
No matter who is the opposing candidate--be
it Cass, Houston or Buchanan—a Northern or
a Southern man—an old Hunker or a Frac
Soil Loco . —tho old soldier who led.our armies
in Mexico is bound to lead all his oppononts
in the Presidential race. • •

•
from the N.Y. Eziress -jay , the
character and objco t a of •litinter's• bill:..
• •
A stray paragraph idwandering about, from
tho Hartford (Conn.) Times, • we believe, the
sub Stance of whiehlas crept into the Express,
that there is, in Mr. Senator Minter's Bill
which is now the law of the
,land, a slight in
crease of the dutieS.onirmran,ti.,coal. There
is riet one word of accuracy ih it. A The Bove
nue duties stand exactly as they have been,
under the Tariff of 1846, without the least
practical alteration.
It will he recollected,' that, pending'the dis
cussionof the Tariff of 1846, prior to its pea-.
page; the'Whiga predicted, that
on
noyor,
yield :revenue enough to carry the govern
ment, for which they have been' especially
laughed at, as, the'result has been contrary to
all such prediction's. Mr.' Walker; .the new
- Secretary 'of the Treasury, perfectly aware
that the Whigs wererightin their prediction,
and thht the Tariff of 1840; passed July 80th
wouldmovor yield him money enough-to <miry
on the government, caused to be slipped, into
the CiviL and Diplomatic Bill, August 16,1846,
anitemi having reference to the Whig -Tariff
of '1842, and substantially-reviving the ad Ca
&reins of -that Tariff. Linder the authority of
that-item, Mr: Walker revived in a good de
gree the Tariff of 1842, as well as' other old
Revenue Laws, and he issued a series of cir
culars,-very stringent and very extraordinary,
under which the Tariff has been collected up,
to the present-winter. • The house of Griswold
& Co., of this city,.and a.house in Boston, did
not believe these circulars, legal, gild each ma
king mit 'a case a g ainst them, the two cases
were taken the last winter, to - the &pre*.
Court of the United States,.and the Court in
February . decided the casAslnlheir favor, re
versing and nullifying • tire leading Trensiny
circulars which Mr. Walker -has issued since
1846,—and upon - which ho bad raised - a . far
greater amount-of Revenue than was in the
Tariff of 1840.
The principles upon . which •the "Supremo
Court nullified these circulars made evident
what, a confused mass of absurdities the Tariff
of 1846 was, and is, and 'at once convinced
every intelligent man in Congress that Con
gress met doynething immediately. 'Hence,
Mr. Hunter, a emocrat from Virginia, intro
duced into the Senate a bill substantiallY re
enacting, Mr. Walker's and I.k'.. Meredith's
Treasury Circulars, making the _instructions
under them the laws of the land. Thus there
is no addition to, or subtraction from the Tar:
if, as it has stood since 1840, under Mr.. Wal
ker's Treasury Circulars. Iron and Coal nre
just where they were, and so is every thing
else. The costs, and charges, and • commiss
ions over sea are to be added to the value,-
just as they_have _been, _and-nothing - else.
Freight is not to be added, as stated in some
quarters. In short, duties and charges aro O
lio put just as they have always been. .
It is calculated in some quarters that the
Treasury will have to disgorge something,like
two millions of dollars, which it has collected
under Mr. IValker's illegal Treasury Circulars;
butaltis i 8 only a tithe of what_ is really_the,
back duo, inasmuch as most of the 'duties cin
der the Tariff of 1846 have been paid without
protest.

is such a miserable deCoction of contemptible

anate from tne pen of the defender of Doctor
Wetherill., But one paper that wo have seen
has defended, Dr. Wetherill, and no ether pa
per pursues tho grovelling system of political
warfare exhibited in the article alluded to.—
We suppose it wao intended to produce discords
'and prejudices in the ranks of the Whigs, but
in this purpose it will as signally fail as did
the lengthy and Pollitted - iidimeacy of Meter
Wetherill in the same paper fail to convince
his-oomnivinity-that-Dr.-Wetherill-was-a-pure
and upright man and Mrs. Wetherill the oppo

is - composed of intelligent men who an - comp - e.

selves. Their "leaders" - tiro. -themselvis, -
_tout
belong alike to the ranks of the farmer and
the manufacturer, the mechanic and the labo

The contest which the editor of the Demo
crat supposako-have taken place in the last
Whig County Convention,,, in which Major
Lino was floored," we suspect only transpired
in his ditemporod imaginatiom We heard of
no such contest. But if any person or persons
in that Convention attempted to procure the
appointment of delegates to the State Conven
tion of this year, they were undoubtedly right
fully !'floored"—and not by "aristocratic lea
ders" but by the majority of the Convention.
The members of that, Convention
„Welt oleo-.

t3olection of a Gubernatorial candidate. They
were called for the specific impose. of select
ing a candidate for Assembly. A State Con
'Volition for themornination of a candidate for
Governor is meta called, and the 'appointment
of delegates to it will be the work of a 'county,
convention or meeting called for that special
I purpose. We think we knoir the sentiments
of the Whigs of Cumberland county sufficient

The Amonntof Lose
.Although the . fire of Wednesday laek'de
_stroyedise many buildings and covered .4o large
a apace,..tho loss in dollars and cents is not so
frightfully largo. • This is accounted for by the
fact that itlanY of the buildings. were old and
dilapidated stables, while some of the dwell

streets where property rates highest. The loss
ie variouify: e'itimated at from W 35,000 to $50,-

if not much more to replace the destroyed
property. ,tie are glad to learn that liberal

A4own meeting was held on Wednesday
evening lmit to adopt measures for relieving
the necessities of those families who had suf

that morning, - and committies were appointed
to call upon citizens and solicit contributions
BM that purpose. The report of the Dithur-.

Success which attended these exertions, from
which we are glad .to learn that most' of the,
suffereri3have.been effectually aided in again
securing comfortable homes. The case •of a
widow woman • in Louther street, who lost her

Oim worthy Chief Burgess, in conjunction
with tho Town Council, has addreised the sub
joihed laiitr to Col. Cliolre, commandant nt the
Garrison, An acknowledgment of the scrviees
rendered by the Dragoons at "the late fire.-L.
We giro it place with pleasure:
To Col. Cooke, and the Pil:!lers and Alen at the

• DestOtit—.,The Chlot Burgess, and Town
Council of the Borough of Carlisle, on behalf
of the' citizens of our town, return you, the
officers, and Men under your command, their
grateful thanks; for their very prompt and ef
ficient aid,. rendered at the late disastrous fire
hi' this borough.
The force from the barracks was specially
important, from tho circumstance of several
fires raging at the same time in different pla
ces, Which leaded to distract the labors of Abe
Fine Companies, and enabled the raging elc-
M - ent to obtain en aeoendancy not easy to con
trol: The arresting of the fire on l'irain street,
we chiefly owe unditProvidence, to the extra
ordinary exertions of-the bravo men from the
garrison, who did not spare any effort to sub
due the flames. '
- -
It is pleasant and "satisfaCtory to our town
to,find. ' , waif, the officers, and, men of this
station, ever ready to co-operate in any emer
gency,. such as has recently occurred: and we
assure you on 'behalf of the fire companies and
citizens of thiiplace, that should a fire occur
at the garrison; they will always ho prompt to
reciprocate the favor, by.rendering all the aid
in their poivcr - •
With our best wiehes for the health' and
prosperity of i'oursolf- and the troops uuctCr

joke which- the witty Doctor. will crack with
you at any moment, provided you. contribute
your share of the 'Minor in the'forrn of a

Still the question recurs, "how is it done?" ,
We intend to narrate briefly how the doctor—
to. adopt-his usage of Lindley Murray—"dons
'it!" -
After a brief lecture on the vast achielip
ments .wrought-:and to be 'wrought by the
"science" of Electrical PSychology, the .an
diem° is informed that the lecturer has pro
vided himself with a considerable number of
"coins," and as many as are. willing to hold a
.coin,"-are invited to occupy the front-seats.—
The coins—consisting we belieye of dimes in
serted iu copper and sine
.encasements—aro
then distributed, - and the honored holders are
patronisingly requested to look at them stead
ily for fifteen . minutes. This modest request
is heeded With varied strictner. We have
occasionally thought the greater or less inten
sity of the gazing might depend on one 'of two
'causes—either the holder's natural affection
for the dime, or his unnatural confidende in
the science; but , as the dime is very firmly
imbedded in the surrounding metals, • and as
the science still .requires demonstration, both
our solutions may be at. fault. "Flow is it
ane?", -
Imagine the .fifteen minutes to be over, and
the coins carefully collect irand placed in the
bag whence they came. Now for it. Look
out for the interesting and amusing part of
the performance promised in the bills. - Then,
for the first time,..Dr. Cargill, whose modesty
is truly refreshing, ventures into the fore-

gentlemen at once; let us keep along side of,
our genuine hero, the Magnus Apollo of the
sou ace; Dr, Raineyl' - Approaching a quendiim
coiritholder, he turns ufon.bin a terrific look
'Of thilijdstic 'awe, in which -gentle operrition he,
ought to some ltelp - frem the peculiar - MAT
of his - whiskers. At the close of this friendly,
interview,' the Doctor plants his thuMb firmly
above the nose of the "subject," and in-the
tone already alluded to, invites him to . close
' his oyes. That being done, lit triumphantly
6bserves with. incireused veltemnsec---"Novi
you can't open 'em!" This is generalky
whopper; but the Doctor's equanimity does
not, therefore, desert him. Again, lie says—
" Shut _your eyes,"—and again, "Ndiv you
can't open 'em, "Now you can't, &0., &c"
until he comes to the conviction that ie Eras
-been laboring upon the wrong man.. If, how
ever, the patient be susceptible, lie is pronoun

consider himself a candidate for the subsequent
honors of the stage. • •
In-this fashion Drs. R. and C. pass over all

'and farce,-prthiuming the lecture to constitute
the first.
.
The scene next _opens with Dr DaCney and
_Mr..--Whito.---This-Intter,gentlenutn—moroures—
about five feet four in his hose, and while be
having himself, presents rather a handsome
appearance. We should take liirn-talm - a cap

this et mita eimilia, lie would not hesitate to
sympathize with the gentleman for having to
,perform to audiences compoad only of the
lords of creation. But we are anticipating.—
Mr. White: soon slides into the Psychological
state—and then! Behold him ns :k struggles
like a Hercules to disengage a snake from his
body—as lie knocks the bees from his hair—
waxes confident that Dr. It. has a black face,
a very long nose, "0, mercy, how long;" and
four eyes=forgets his own name—becomes
desperately drunk on cold water—fishes with
a cane—attempts to mesmerize nn imaginary
deaf lady—refuses to toll a very funny story
which made Dr. R. laugh once; and would
make him laugh again if he would only tell it,
&c; &c.—all of whielihe does at Dr. It's bid
ding, and as the Dr. triumphantly observes
"proving that I hare complete control over
his memory, taste, sight and hearing." Ex
perithents on a smaller scale—performed on
susceptible coirA, holders—are interspersed; nt •
suitable interTM with - this nonsense; hntil
about 10 o'cloolc, we aro informed that "there
will be now exercises to-morrow - night." T4O, ,
audience adjourns, and this. is "how it 'is

facts of a single evening with Dr. Rainey, and

And firet:of all, we are compelled, after look.;

regard the whole affair as catimmiiigated hum

1. So far at Mr:Whito is concerned, the Dr.,
will hardly insist, other things, being equal,
upon - a large.degreo of confidence in his ope
rations. There exists a priori' reason against - .
such confidence; Mr. IVhite is one V,the party;
may be a principal,-and may have 'a deep in- -
tercet in the experiments.' All- this we say
may be Ituo—at least wo have received .no
assurance that, it is not. Then, Mr. Whito.hai

Verily; one to read his piece, knowing the cir

knowledge his aptness in the latter "qualifica

stand still in the advancement'of science until
his dull comprehension is keen enough to rea
lise the truth of the'lletv - discoveries of the
age? or is he opposed entirely to innovation?
Under the sanction of that tyrant, c4oin;
