0The attention of our readers is directed
to the Foreign News in to-days paper, which
will bo found highly interesting. It will be
seen that the Hungarians continue Fucccstful
against the combined powers of Russia and
Austria. They fight with the energy and des
pcration which characterize men battling id
the glorious cause of Freedom, and the whole
population serve the pitriols with heart and
hand, bringing food and hursts, and intelligence
of all the enemicp movements. They will be
free, it cannot be otherwise. Such energy,
determination and courage cannot be crushed,
and their enemies will soon be compolled to
grant them thoir independence- In their pa
triolic struggle for freedom, they have the
prayers and bett wishes of every American
heart.
Huntingdon County.
The democrac of this county have placed
in nomination Col. David Duff as their candi
date for Assembly at the approaching election
It will be remembered that Col. Duff is one of
those who shouldered their nuket and went
lo the wars in Mexico, where he proved himself
a good soldier ind a brave man. As he would
make a good member, we hope the yeomanry
of old Huntingdon will manifest their apprecia
tion of his gallant conduct as a soldier, and
eend bim lo rerrcaeni tneir interests in the
next tetsion of the Legislature. A. K. Cor
nyn, the former Representative is the whig
opponent.
Lieut. A. J. Doyle lias been nominated as
'he whig candidate for Treasurer.
Another Change
'I he Johnstown Transcript has passed into
tbc lianda of Georgo N. Smith, Es?q. by whom
it will hereafter be conducted under the title
of "The Mountain Echo and Cambria Trans,
eript." A Mr. Smith i a gentleman of con
siderable ability as a writer, we feel confident
the Echo will do good service ia the glorious
cause of democracy in this county. Success
to him-
The last Johnstown News has a long a nd
lacryraose article on the subject of the Tariff
of 1842, in which the repeal of that law is
treated in a style sufficiently mournful to draw
tears from the eyes of crocodiles. It charges
the Tariff of 18-16, wtth being the cause of al
most all the mishaps and misfortunes which
hive befallen tho country and individuals for
the last four years, and winds up by saying
that the people must look to the whig party for
the restoration of the Tariff of 13 12. We have
no intention of making a lengthy reply to their
w indy assertions; but will merely state that the
whigs are again endeavoring to agitate this
question mere ly for political purposes, and to
humbug the people. If tho whig party is so
irongly in favor 0f the Tariff of 1812, will the
News men tell us why they did not adop t it
last winter when they had a majority iu Con
jrcM? Answer, that, Mr. News.
Henry M. Fuller.

ITTOur neighbors of the Johnslows- News
are still laboring to justify Mr. Ball, the Slate
Treasurer, for withholding the money appro,
priated to the payment of the domestic credi
tors on our public improvements, and attempt
to contradict a statement we made some time
since that Mr. Ball alone was blameable for
the delay thai has occurred in the payment of
the laborers on the public works. They must
ei'.her have a very large amount of bulldog. ism
in their composition, or they must think them.
selves possessed of more ability thane major-
ily of their brethren of the pross thus to hold
on so tenaciously to a suiiecl wmch every
w hig editor in the Slate has dropped like a hot
potato. We repeat, that there is no use in
denying the fact that Mr. Call did refuse to
honor the drafts of the Canal Commissioners
on him for money, and be admits the fact him
self when he notifies the Canal Board that he
is now raady to accept them. His admission
Use If ought to be sufficient, we think, to stop
the News on this subject, as it has proved more
than some of their whig brethren of much more
ability were able to get over and who therefore
acted the wiser part by letting it drop alto
gcther.
The News claims great credit for Mr. Balj
because he has disbursed $100,000. It should
bar in mind, however, that this is not one
half the amount ihut was appropriated, and
yet nearly two thirds of Hie fiscal year has
expirei. This fact shows at once that the
Treasurer did not pay out the money as fast as
he should have done, and leaves the balance
(more than one half) to be dfsbursed in little
over one third of the year. It may be conten
ded that he had nut the money in the Treasury
and consequently could not pay it out. But tie
has not the benefit of even this excuse, because
after having paid off the Slate interest on the
first of the present month, more than two hun
dred thousand dollars remained in the Treasu
ry. Those are facts, and we defy the editors
ot the News or any other person to conlradict
lliem.
We havo no disposition whatever to main
tain a controversy with our anxious neighbors
upon a bubject which has been long since worn
nut, and which in fact admits of no controver
cv. We think it advisable for the editors of
the News to follow in the wake of their whig
leaders by "acknowledging the corn" and drop
ping the subject. If they arc disposed, how.
ever, lo continue their useless vindication of
Mr. Ball, let them do it in some other manner
than l'V matin? statements wiucn nave no
J G
foundation in truth.
Military Elections-
The following is the result of the election
for company officers as far as wo have heard
them. W e will publish lac result of the
elections in the other companies in this county
as soon us vc learn them.

Taylor's Atluiitiistatiou.
Tho following extract from the New York
ll'iald of the 7lh inst., a paper which gave
Taj'lor a very warm and ardent support last
fall, shows the estimation in which the present
administration is held by some of the leading
whigs of tho country . Tho flagrant violation
of solemn pledges is beginning to disgust
manj' of General Taylor's warmest friends and
admirers, and the prescriptive policy of his
administration without a parallel in lha his
tory of this country must drive from his sup
port every candod and honest man in the coun.
try. We commend the following article to the
careful attention of our friends of tho Johns
town News. We hope they will read it care
fully, and then inform the public whether it is
not good whig authority and entitled to as
much credit as some of their own gratuitous
assert ions.
Already we behold, under this admin
istration, an amount of corruption, favorit
ism and partisanship, j which has at once
astonished and shocked all honest men in
the community. Wholesale removal
from office, without just cause appoint
ments of friends, relatives and factionists,
irrespective of capacity or integrity inso
lent and unscrupulous employment of the
patronage and power of the government,
for the benefit, not of the country, but of
"the party," such, alas! are tho leading
features of this administration. Ana all
revealed, too, in the short space of five
months! No former administration has
reached the same point of corruption in
the same space of time. It seems as if
this cabinet have determined to answer
the people in the manner of the foolish
Jewish king: Whereas, our predecessors
did lade you with a heavy yoke, we will
add to your yoke. They chastised you
with whips, but we will chastise you with
scorpions
Here we have had a new department
organized the Department of the Interior,
or Home Department from which the
people anticipated salutary results, the re
form of many abuses, and a more eflcient
administration of public affairs. How
has it been conducted? It has been given
into the hands of Ewing a second Ledru
Rollin a rabid, malignant, intolerant, un
scrupulous partisan, who seems bent on
pursuing the same reckless and savage
course as his prototype in France, by
which the fortunes of republicanism in
that land have been jeopardized, perhaps
beyond all hope. There is also the Lara
artine of the cabinet, full of sounding pe
riods, but destitute of practical ability or
wisdom a sentimental statesman, who
consumes, in the elaboration of the pom
pous nothings of some trivial note, the
time in which a rrcat man would arrange .
the mightiest affairs. A Louis Blanc, and
a Flocon are not wanting; and, oh! how
beau tifully they manage the public inter
ests! Look at the affairs of the Post Office
department thrown into the utmost con-
fusion, in consequence of nepotism and
lavotitism of the grossest and most un-
blushing character.
Scareely a single
nledc is there of
General Taylor, that has not been viola
ted by the cabinet, which is fast destroy
ing his reputation and blasting his fame.
CTGeneral Taylor and Governor Johnston
were warmly received by the citizens of Pitts
burg and Allegheny on Friday last. The city
was thronged with people anxious to see the
distinguished visiters. The arrangements for
their reception were made irrespective of party
some of the leading democrats in the citv ta.
j
king a prominent part in the ceremonies. Al
though this tour of Taylor and Johnston, the
w frigs say, is made with no object of a politi
cal character, the Governor gave the lie to his
friends by making a flaring political speech to
a crowd of people before the Monongehela
House on Saturday last. With all his shrewd
ncss, Johnston will occasional! let out the real
object of this visit of Taylor'a to Pennsylva
nia, which is nothing more or less than to se
cure the triumph of whiggery in the next Le
gislature of this State. He is anxious to have
a Legislature which will act in concert with
him in chartering a bank in almost every town
and village in the State, and flood the country
with irredeemable paper money. Bat the peo
pie are wide awake lor hun. He cannot suc
ceed a second time in humbugging them. A f
ter the second Tuesday of October next, he will
find himself in a glorious minority, as a reward
for his tricks of last fall.
In speaking of the political schemes of Gov
Johnston, the Westmoreland Argus 6ays: "It
is a fact which cannot be concealed, that Gov
Johnston and Ins administration were most
wofully chagrined when they found by the re
sult of the election last fall that they had not a
majority of political friends in both branches
of the Legislature. The constitution of the
House was a barrier to their movements during
the whole session, which they could not over
come. And to avoid a similar difficulty the
coming session, and that they may have full
sweep tc carry out their political schemes, it is
now their avowed object lo throw something
into the contest this fall which will enable
them to elect a majority of Whigs in both
branches of the Legislature. For this purpose
Gov. Johnston is to take a tour through the
State in person, and to carry with him the no
party President of the United States, Zachary
Tavlor who by his august presence is expec
ted to instil into the people an intense feeling.
as the Governor has expressed it, which is to
result most prodigiously lo the advantage o"
the Whigs in the coming campaign in Penn
sylvania. But the scheme will fail. The peo
ple already bee through tho political manocu-
vering and trick cry of his Excellency. Tho
name of Taylor has lost its spell over the
minds of the people, and the lour which he is
about to make through Pennsylvania cannot
save Jo!inst"n and his party from an ignomin
ious defeat at tho coming October election.
Another Soldier Gone!
Lieut. Edward E- Lb Clerc died at Mount
Airy, near Philadelphia, on Saturday, ihe 11th
inst. He was a Lieutenant in the 2 J Regiment
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, ai:d he was per
sonally known lo many in this county, we
publish the following obituary notice from the
Philadelphia Penntylvanian. It will be Been
that he was buried with military honors, and
that many of his companions in arms were pres
at the solemn ceremony. J
Funeral of Edward E. Le Clerc.-Tho.
funeral of this gallant young Pennsylvania
Volunteer, took place, according to pre
vious announcement, yesterday afternoon,
from the residence of George C. West,
Esq., Third and Christian streets, South
wark. The deceased had just attained
the age of thirty years, and was a noble
and amiable gentleman, a profound schol
ar, and a lawyer of much promise. When
the Mexican war broke out, he was one of
the many thousands of that brave band
which volunteered their services, to fight
the battles of their country in a foreign
land; and when he started on that glorious
mission, he was chosen an officer in the
Wyoming company. During the war, he
manifested a spirit of bravery and noble
daring, that his brother officers, after the
capture of the city of Mexico, presented
him with a magnificent sword, as a testi
monial of their high appreciation of his
brave achievements, and generous and
kind disposition. When peace was de
clared, he returned to his home, in Wilkes-
barre, Pa., where he was shortly after
seized with chronic diarrhoea, which
continued for some time. From that
period until the day of his death, there are
certain melancholy incidents connected,
which we forbear mentioning. Soon after,
however, having business to transact in
this city, he took up his abode at Mount
Airy, where he died on Saturday last.
I he body was subsequently removed to
the house of Mr. West, where, almost
simultaneously with the corpse, Mrs. Le
Clerc, the mother of the deceased, arrived
she having been sent for when his ill
ness reached a state of uncertainty as to
his recovery. I he funeral cortege pre
sented a solemn and mournful aspect, as
they passed along the route to Laurel Hill,
where the remains were interred. The
military escort consisted of the Philadel
phia Cadets, under the command of Lieut.
Hoyer, and German Washington Volun
teers, Capt. Wilhelm, preceded by the
German Washington Guards' Band the
whole under the command of Capt. Wil
helm. The pall bearers were Lieut. Gray
Capt. Hill, and Lieut. Morehead, on the
left; and Lieut. Voltcr, Dr. Bunting, and
Cept. Binder, on the right of the hearse,
which was drawn bv four black horses
with plumes. Then followed several
officers of the Second Pennsylvania
Regiment, with a long train of carriages in
the rear. When the military escort
reached Broad and Coates streets, they
were dismissed, and the pallbearers joined
the carriage procession until they arrived at
the Cemetery, where the Germantown
Blues, Capt. Miles, received the body,
and, after religious service, by Rev. Mr.
Coleman, ol 1 nnity church, Southwark,
they fired a salute, and the colli n, contain
ing another of the heroes of the late war
with Mexico, was consumed to the tomb.
Pennsylvania the Battle Ground.
From a private lettor in the Pittsburg Post
written by a whig in Washington City, we
take the following extracts. It will be seen
that Pennsylvania is again to bo the battle
ground, and all the power of the National and
State Administrations will be)brought to bear,
in order that the whigs may succeed in the
approaching contest. Who will now doubt
Gov. Johnston's object in bringing General
Taylor here!
The August elections in the West and
South are looked upon, here, as deciding
nothing, for the Administration, it is said,
had not yet fairly taken its stand. Now,
however, it has put itself in position, and
has resolved to put forth all its strength in
the coming fall elections and particularly
in Pennsylvania. It is there that its first
great battle is to be fought.
Arrangements are now making for it.
Your State is to be shingled over with
franks. Post Master's will be found that
will carry forward the great work.
Schmidt s German paper is to be put in
operation, pensioned emisanes and hired
orators are to traverse it in all directions
Expect, therefore, one of the fiercest
political conllicts m your State, ever
known, since your memory, for it is not
possible for oue party to put forth all its
own party power, aided by the whole
strength of the Government, without put
ting the opposing party upon its mettle
and bringing out all its power also.
