Johannes Heinrich Feuchtwanger, M D whose astonishing success in the decapi tation of mosquitoes and the impalement of bedbugs has gained him the applause and admiration of half the civilized world, is about to be rivalled in his operations by a gentleman of Bangor. The latter has invented a machine, surprising for the simplicity of the contrivance and the ex actness with which it operates. It works in a treadle fixed in the foot of the bed stead, and can be adapted at pleasure to ar.y of those insects which are accustomed to interrupt nocturnal repose. In the morning. all the bedbugs arc found stuck through on wires which are part and par cel of the machinery; the musquitoes are whirled dowt:wards by an Archimedes bcrcw, and have their bills taken off by a number of minute circular saws adapted to the purpose, and the ileas are every one deprived of their hind legs by a simi lar process, so that, being unable to jump, they are easily taken. A patent may be taken out for this most important discov ery.--Ledgcr. THE JOURNAL. HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1840. Ploin Questions & Answers. Between Poor Richard and an Office-hol der with a salary of S2COO a year. Poor Richard.—Captain, I see by the papers, that our President has been send ing off across the ocean to find out what kind of money the Kings and Emperors take of their people, and how they keep it. Do you know if he's got any answers yet? Captain.—Oh, yes. The U. S. Con suls, you see, have attended to it, know. ing it was to help them to get the gold for then salaries. P. R.—Well, I reckon they got ans. wers to please them then? Capt.—Why d'ye see—The answers from Hamburgh, Bremen, Cuba, Jamaica, Berlin, Frankfurt in Germany, Leipsic in Saxony, Munich, Smyrna, Genoa, Lagui ra, Leghorn, and Constantinople, show, that they require every dollar of the peo ple, or revenue in specie. Nut a single dollar does the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, Kin ,, ' of Sweden, the Grand Sultan, or any of those arbitrary monarchs, take of their subjects but the real Benton shiners, sir, or the hard silver —they don't touch a dollar, sir, of bank rags, nor don't put a dollar in the banks. P. R.—Well, wed!—l reckon specie must be easy got in those countries, the people get likely wages there for work, as there is no bank aristocrat. These specie Emperors and Brokers, &c., give fine pri ces for work, don't they? Capt.—Why as to that d'ye see—their subjects don't need as much as our do here—as things are cheaper there. P. R. —W ell, is land cheap too? Capt.—Oh, the subjects don't own the land, it all belongs to the Dukes and Lords. P. R.—What does the word subject mean' Capt.—Subjects means that they are under their Kings, Dukes, 4-c., just like you are under Pi esident Van Buren. P. 17. Why, how long have these sub- jects been working for their Kings, and' Emperor s, and Dukes, and Lords, and han't got no land of their own yet? Capt.—Why, it's some time since I 'studied geometry, but I guess these em pines are rather older than the American Revolution. P. R.—What! and the subjects han't earn't any land of their own yet, and yet getting specie for wages—why, how much do they get for a day's work? Capt.—Why, the President don't re- , port what wages the suljects get, for he , thinks the subjects ought nut to expect too much from the Gortrwneut, and he never thought of asking how much they got for, their work. P. R.—Well, I'm sorry our "Demo cratic President" didn't think a little about the people, while he was learning how the Kings and Emperors, take care of themselves. Well, I was asking Geo. Jacobs the other day, who came from Hot steen, and he says they only get SEVEN PENCE a day fur work and board them selves; and there's some in our ne4ibor hood came from Dantzic, from Hamburgh, and from Bremen, and they say they get from 4 -2 to S pence a day and board themselves— they get from Mt to 100 shil lings a year and find themselves. Why, captain, ain't that the reason they can't get to on a :any land there—they get such starving Wages. Capt.—l'm very busy now, my dear sir, the mail is just cowing in—but you ain't going to vo.e fur old Gram)) , Harrison— are you? P. l:.—Why, Captain, you're in a great flutter; I've seen you 'lure now stop and talk au hour and let all the mails in the country come and go. I wish you just to answer me one question, and if you can't do it, nor none of the office holders about here, just send on to Amos Kendall, and get him to answer it in the next Extra Globe you give me. Capt.—Well, what is it? Be quick, for I'm in a hurry. P.R.—Be patient, Captain--perhaps— you'll have leisure after a while. It is this: How long would it take a man at 7 pence a day and find himself and fami ly, to clear enough to buy 80 acres of, land? And another query is, if it such a fine thing to have specie wages and low prices, what on earth is the reason that these people are coming over by hundreds and thousands from their specie kingdoms and pito. to work at a dollar a day in this bank-ridden country to get land?-- W hat on earth is the reason, Captain?— Can you tell? And what's the reason the common people own their own land in this country, and don't in the specie coon tries? What can it be? Copt.—Pshaw: 1 see you are a Fed eralist. "Put out your tongue a little further." said a physician to a female patient, •'a little further ma'am, if you please—a lit., tle further still." "Why Doctor do you. think there is no end to a woman's tongue?" cried the fair invalid. "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY." A. W. BEN} DICT PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR. From the Log Cabin Advocate THE FEDERAL PARTY. The Philadelphia Standard very justly says, that nothing surprises the old Jef fersonian Democrats who support Gen. I Harrison so much, as to hear themselves styled federalists by those against whom they have contended ever since the era of "Alien and Sedition Laws," To be thus denounced by such men as Ingersoll Buchanan, Van Buren, Wall, and Wood bury, is a gross insult to the intelligence , of the people, and an outrage against coin ' mon honesty. It was well - remarked by Jefferson, that when the Federalists dis. covered their iniaabilty to enslave the peo ple openly, they would resort to trick and deception, and even go so tar as to steal the title of their opponents. The jus tice of this accusation is manifest from the present tone of the Van Buren press and leaders. 'rite Madisonian of a line date contains an admirable article on this subject. The facts which it furnish es are important, and we shall embody them in this article for the informatoin of our readers, and as conclusive evidence ()four assumption, that the Loco Foco Van Buren Party is the Federal Party of 1840 Whatever, the Madisonian well re marks, may have been the character of the old Federal party, it is that of the modern federal party, now in power, which requi res our present attention The Ethiopian cannot change his skin-- nor the leopard his spots—nor the federalist his charac teristics. As we remember the worst -characteristics of the old federal party, so we see in the party led by Mr, Van Bu ren, every feature of that ancient heresy now left, and indeed the prominent disci• pies of that school. As they were oppo sed to the last war, so they hated and a bused those who fought its battles and carried it through. The natural dislike of the anti-war federalists to the american officers and soldiers who achieved our vic tories by sea and land, is warmly cherish ed still in their bosoms, and they evince it by pouring all the wrath once levelled against Mr, Madison, now ag ainst the only General to whom a British army our , rendered during that war! Parties are known by their leaders—let us see wheth er the leaders of the party who have sto• len into power in the disguise of democrats as Mr. Jefferson predicted they might, are not some of the worst of the old fed eral party, without relerenence to their present conduct, which alone would be sufficient to prove their identity. Whu are they? 1. Martin Van Buren, who opposed the re-election of Mr. Madison, in tiagran to bello-1812. 2.

"I have been called a Federalist, and I shall nev i er be ashamed of the name." 5. Reuel Williams, Van Buren United States Senator from Maine, who assisted to burn James Madison in effigy in 1812. 6. Henry Hubbard, Van Buren Uni . ted States Senator from New Hampshire, who was prime mover in getting up the meeting at which delegates were chosen to the ,Hartford Convention from New Hampshire. . Garret D. Wall, Van Buren Uni— . ted States Senator from New Jersy, who says the office holders are bound to inter fere in elections, and who said in the U.

Prentiss; member of con gress from New ,York, who, during the war edited a paper at Cooperstown, in which he declared it was •with great pleasure that he found himself enabled to announce the complete triumph of the fed eralists." Also, "if my humble labors in the cause of 'my country have prcduced the change in favor of federalism in the country, then have 1 arrived at the acme of my hopes, the summit of my wishes." Further—" The frightful hydra of demo crcy begins to drop before the heaven tried spirits of federalism!" But he went still further, and exclaimed, "Democracy! a monster wild as that which roams the Lybian wastes and joys to drench his tusks in blood—a pestilence that spreads contagion over the whole extent of our country, a pernicious blast that withers eyery thing it touches." . 23. 6i;'orge R.

While others are endeavoring to hold it up to scorn, and are deserting its standard for the pur pose of securing power and emolument from other hands, it shall be our glory to support its cause, and our feeble powers shall always be employed to display its beauties to others." 43.

John Thomas, Navy Agent. The above is a picture of Lin Buren Federalism, and we now ask the reader, whethere we are not justified in styling the predominant party, the "Loco Foco Federal party?" NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND The other morning, a lady left home to make some purchases, pay some visits, or transact some other feminine business, no matter what. As she was walking along one of our best streets, which happened to be nearly empty at this time, she was suddenly accosted by a gentleman, a per fe ct stranger to her. He was short and stout, with a bushy head of hair, white gloves, and all the other outward evidence of gentility. Ho addressed her very fa miliarly, and expressed his pleasure at having met her. "I believe I have not the honor of your acquaintance, sir," said the lady, dryly; for his familiarity was rather of the im pertinent order. "Well, never mind about that, it is ne.. ver too late to form an agreeable acquain tance. Arc you going up this way? I'll go along ; oil here, take my arm." "I really must decline the honor, sir, and request you, if you are a gentleman, to leave me at once." "lab! how pretty you look when you are angry!" and the vulgar fellow was preparing to put his arm round her waist, when the lady was oNerjoyed at seeing a tall, well-dressed gentlemanly man turn the corner, and advance rapidly towards them. Her exclamations brought him to I her side at once, and his presence seemed Ito cool down, in a wonderful degree, the ardor of the first corner. "What is the matter, madam?" lie as'.: ed. "has any thing happened? Can 1 be of service to you in any way?" "Sir, I have been grossly insulted by this person." "You scoundrel! (shaking his stick at the short fellow, who sneaked away,) :f it was not for making a scene in the open street, I would cudgel you to death. (To the lade.) The vagabond who presumed to insult you is gone, madam ; you need not fear now." am under the greatest obligations—" "Oh, don't mention it, I beg you. Will you allow me to escort you, to prevent the repetition of any such insulti'i "I should be sorry to trouble you, hot really I have been so much agitated by what has happened, that my nerves are quite unstrung, and I must go home—if it is not taxing your politeness too much --that fellow may return." “Don't be afraid, I will take care of him." The lady accepted the gentleman's proffered arm very thankfully, and retra ced her steps home. On the way they talked about balls and concerts, the weath. er, the opera, the news of the day, and other nothings which make up fashionable conversation. To judge from the gentle man's manners and discourse, as well as from his frock, cane and yellow gloves, he was altogether their conviie itfwd. When they reached the lady's door, he bowed and was taking his leave. "I really feel much indebted, sir," said she, "for your very timely interference." "Don't say any thing more, I beg of you." "Very much indebted, indeed, and if —if I could acknowledge your services in arty way ----" 1 . , 11 - liy, if you please, you may give me two shillings." "Two-!" The lady was thunder. struck ; but she really felt grateful to her preserver from insult, and without saying a word, pulled out her purse and handed him the money. He took it and walked away. At the corner our short friend of the cloak and white gloves met him. "Well," asked he, "how much did you get?". "Two shillings," replied he of the cane and yellow gloves. "That will do ; let's go and get some breakfast."—lllirtor. A few days ago, while one of the large boats was coming up the river, a dispute arose as to the comparative strength of the Whig and Loco Foco parties oo b. ru •d /Fe can very soon settle the questioo," exclamed a Locofoco in the crowd—. let all the Whigs go to the•right side of the boat and all the Democrats to the left." No sooner was this direction complied with than the loud shout of the Captain was heard—.. Trim the boat! " "Trim the boat." The truth is the gallant craft had careered to the side of the Whigs so as to leave the wheel on the Lueofoco side at. most completely out of water.— L. Jour. [Wu°Lu No. M. BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT, The scenery amid which we are born and brought up, if we remain lung enough therein to have passed that early periui of existence on which memory seems to have no hold, sinks, as it were, into the spirit of man; twines itself intimately with every thought, and becomes a part of his being. He can never cast it ott; any more than he can cast of! the body in which his spirit acts. Almost every chain of his after thoughts is linked at some point to the magical circle which bounds his youth's ideas; and even when latent., and in no degree known, it is still pros. ent, affecting every feeling and every fan cy, and giving a bent of its own to all our words and deeds. I have heard a story of a girl who was a captive to some Eastern Prince, and wore upon her ancles a light golden She learned to love her master devotedly, and was us happy as she cool ] be in his love. Adored, adorned, and cherished, she sat inside him one day in all the pump of eastern taste. u hen suddenly her eye fcll upon the golden ring round her ancle, which custom had rendered so light that she had forgotten it altogetNer. The tears instantly rose in her eyes as she looked upon it, and her lover divining at once the cause, asked, with a look of reproach, "would you be free?" She cast herself upon his bosom, and answered, "never:" Thus, often the links that bind us to early scenes and places, in which we have passed happy or unhappy hours, are un observed and forgotten, till some casual circumstance turns our eyes thither ward. But if any one should ask us whether we would sever that chain, there is scarcely one mind that would not also answer, never! The passing of our days may be checked with grief and care; unkind- Less and frown. may wither the smiles of boyhood, and tears bedew the path of youth—yet, nevertheless, when we stand and look back, in latter life, letting mem ory pass, prepared to light where she will, there is no period in all the space laid out before her, over which her wings flutter so joyfully, or on which she would so much wish to pause, as the times of our youth. The evils of other days are for gotten ; the scenes in which these days past are remembered, detached from the sorrows that checkered them, and the misty light of life's first sunrise still gilds the whole with a glory not its own. It is not alone, however, after long years have passed away, and crushed out the gall from sorrows endeared, that fine and en. chanting feelings are awakened by the scenes in which our early days have gone by, and that the thrill of associations is felt in all its joyfulness, acting as an anti. dote to poisonous sorrows which often mingle with our cup. —James.
