in advocating and sustaining the intrests, the
freedom, the honor and integrity of Mir
Common Country against the encroachments
of both foreign and domestic enemies. On
principle, I am utterly opposed to that policy ;
which sacrifices. home interests to foreign in
fluence, and that \would darken Our National'
escutcheon by permitting and aiding in ihe
extension of slavery over teri tory now free,and
that would overthrow those principle s of free
dom, which the fitthers of the country so ably
promulgated and entbrced and which rest at
the basis of all true liberty,
Very respectfidty, your obt. servant,

the Canal Commissioners—arc such that

Rally, then, and aid them in this change,

VOICE OF THE BALLOT BOX.
"There is a weapon surer set
And firmer than the bayonet,
A weapon that comes down as still
• As snow-flakes frill upon the sod,
But executes a Freeman's will
As lightning does the will of God! ,
And from its force, nor bars nor locks
Can save them—'tis the BALEoT Box l'
1 , ,When Pierce, Douglass and their pur
chased minions were forcing the infamous
Nebraska-Kansas bill through Congress,
they gave no heed - to the wishes of: the
People. They laughed their renionstran-,
ees to scorn ! That bill demolished the
work of Jefferson,, and opened the whole
area of American soil to Africa Slavery.
The Missouri Compromise embodied the
principle applied to the North 'Western
Territory by Jefferson. It recognized the
power of the People of the United States
to make such "rules and regulations" for
the government of their own soil, as they
might deem wise. Accordingly it declar:
ed that Slavery should not extend north
of the parallel of 36 30. What Jeffer
son thus declared to be constitutional these
demagogues, calling themselves Jefferso
nian democrats, ruthlessly destroyed.
So the iniquitous bill was passed. But
the omnipotent BALLOT-BOX is still
with. the People, and they can effect with
its peaceful but giant power, what their
petitions could not. Let the Ballot-Box
therefore declare the People's will on_
Tuesday next! Through the ballot-box
the people of New Hampshire, of Maine,
of Connecticut, of Vermont and of lowa
have already spoken their condemnation
of Pierce and Nebraska, and the time for
Pennsylvania to declare her will is at
hand. Voters of Cumberland county, if
you would unite your voice with theirs,
and make yoUr indignation felt at Wash
ington, vote for LEMITEL TODD,' the
Independent candidate for Congress!
THINK OF TOUR TAXES.
Farmers, think of your Taxes, and say
whether it is not high time to oust Big
' appropriation from the Legislature, of
SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLA RS to
meet his exorbitantly extravagant expen
ses; and another fact is equally well
known, and that is that the floating debt
of the State, under l3igler, amounts to
.millions moe. •Besides this, look at the
actual LOANS he has made, as is proved
by the records of the . State. Ilis 'first
loan was for three hundred thousand. dol
lars, his seemul loan' was for eight lin n
rlred and fifty thousa,,dl dollars, and his
third loan Was for fire in illionsqf dolla
That he has muide' these loans since he
came into office will nut .be denied;. and I
yet in the face of this these Locofoco ed
itors would make the People believe that
ho 1:4 redueing the State debt ! It is true
that the Sinking Fund law, which M'as
dm ., ised and carried out underTrOv.J.obn
-stonT-iintl-wlrieh—wits—so—bitterly-cleeri
ed
by tliese Lucofoco „editors, does rescue
something from. the general squandering
of the people's' money taking place by
these Locofiico officials, but to claim eredi
for Bigler for that oasis in the desert
_ .
siptiriftlijring which characterizes his ud
ministration, is taring the credulity o
the people too severely. 47
D.pC.EIVING HIMSELF

LAKT 1V0it1),; 7 7-Tui-i i out to the;
Nritigs.:
BONHAM'S DEFEAT CERTAIN.
Intelligence from all parts of . the dis
trict indicate the triumphant election of
LEMUEL TODD, the independent can
didate -for.
_Congress. In Cumberland,
county he will receiye the almost unani
mous Whig vote united with a very large
democratic support, and Will carry the
county by a Majority at least equal to that
of Judge Watts a few years ago. From
Perry the intelligence is equally decisive
in his favor. All reports concur in stat
ing that he is certain to carry Perry c_oun
ty by a rousing majority ! In York, upon
which Mr. Bonham we understand now
bases all his hopes, we have reason to be
lieve that Todd's prospects are as fair if
net fairer than I3onham's. The pxobabili
ty is that TODD Brill carry EVERY (mint e r/
in the district, which.was so handsomely
carved out to give Mr. Bonham a sure
seat in Congress.
DEFAMING AM EMICANS.
Mr. Bonham is now traverisng the up
per districts of the county making speech
es to the faithful few who adhere to his
sinking fortunes. But as in his late
speeches foreigners are eulogized to the'
highest pitch and Americans are corres
pondingly cried down, the entertainment
is' not very cordially relished by the stur
dy_and intelligent citizens of ttib. upper
end, and it is said makes them gram/
awfully ! In Newville the other night,
as we are told, the groaning of the audi
ence told plainly that that kind of talk
would not be swallowed in that quarter.
The people are willing that due justice
shall be done to adopted citizens, but they
don't want to be insulted the way Bonl►am
piles it on. -
WRITTEN TO ORDER.
The last Volunteer has a string of let-
tors, purporting to come from various pla
ces in York county, but looking very
much as if they had all been written here,
chi Waideric
are lucre " whistling to keep the coura
up," as they were evidently written to
order. The information from York rela
tive to Todd's prospects is of the most
encouraging character, and next Tuesday
will confirm it. Bonhzun's majority in
York will be so near nothing that the dif
ference can't be tistd, • -
Remember, that James Pollock defilnls
and uphold s a SECUM, OA TH-Mit•ND PULITtC AI.
SOCIETY—a Society that shuns the light of
heaven, whose deeds are evil, and who seek
darkness rather than light, and who flee from
the face of honest uteri, as the srinthaFtfees
from justice! -,,
So says the Dem °era .7e I iibon , cue of
!Gov. Bigler's organs at - Harrisburg. Its,
statement must either be true or false
If it be true, then its editor must be guil
ty of an act, in supportin g Henry S. Mott,
