GREEN, of Springfield AUDITIM, ALEX 'f lIOMPSON, of Barree The Tall Pole. On Saturday of last week, as we Nadi previously stated, our citizens met for the purpose of eructing a fall pole, in the place of the one which bloke two weeks, ago. About one o'clock they began to as senible ; and to our gratification we saw scores of the hard•fisted sons of our hills and valleys rallying into town, to give their "hearts and hands to the measure." Woodcock Valley deserves especial no tice.i Her honest sons came in one band, lall on horse-back. The two citizens in the van bearing a'.oft two flags, the one inscribed "Harrison, Tyler, and &Prat," and the other, "No Sub-7'reasury--no reduction of wages." it was a thrilling! sight, to see so many of the honest yen: manry, leaving the ploughs in the field,. and thus assembling, that their names may be added to those opposed to the madness and recklessness of party pow. About three o'clock the pole was sei zed, and was raised steadily up, until she flaunted in the sky, her little streamer 165 feet above its base. It was empha. tically the " Tall Pole"—and it was greeted with loud huzzas when it was fastened. The company then farmed in line, and marched to the court house, where they were organiied by calling a number of our most respectable men to preside as officers. The meeting was then addres sed by Mr. Williamson, who en conclu ding, introduced to the meeting GEN. JAMES IRVIN, our candidate fir Con gress, who in a brief and very concise, manner, gave those present his views of the party in power, and their measures, and openly avowed his opposition. lie also told them what he would support himself. In tiuth his remarks showed him to be a !Lin, honest, and unassu ming man ; and our citizens, one and ull, ' expressed themselves highly pleased with him. After Gen. Irvin had concluded, A. K. Cornyn, Esq. was called on. Mr. Cor nyn was unwell, and excused himself, al ter having fur a few moments, with much terseness, animadverted upon the char acter of the present Administration. Mr. Bell followed, and a lew remarks was made by our humble self, when the meet ing adjourned. The right spirit is abroad. Our Ticket Is now complete, and we cannot do a bet ter thing perhars, than to call the atten tion of our readers to each individual, briefly, 41!, GEN, JAMES IRVIN, is our midi.' date for Congress. He has been twice before the people; and each time shoo ed that he had many, very many strong friends. He will go to Congress the open and declai ed opponent of the Sub- Treasury scheme—the Standing Army bill —and the prodigality and corruption of the present party in power. He will go there the determined friend of Amen can manufacturers, without reducing the wages of the poor laborer. He will go there the friend of an economical admin istration—and the friend of the people's 'interests. l l JAMES MATHERS, is the candidate of our friends for Senator. Mr. blathers , is a citizen of Juniata county; and by every man of every party, who has the pleasure of a personal acquaintance, he is spoken of in the highest terms of praise. He is mild, affable, and courteous to all— and is pronounced a man of superior in• tellect. And perhaps it would not be amiss to say too, that we believe he is neither a Bank director, or stockholder, so that he certainly would not have quite as much interest as his orpiment, in being the friend of the present Banking system. JOSEPH HIGGINS, JOHN G. MILES, are our candidates for the As sembly. The former was a member of the last Legislature; and perhaps Is de serving of some severe censure for one , vote there given. Yet we fur one are un willing to east jiff a tried and faithful friend for c•ne niistep. Wiultl it not be i much better fur those who prokei Iprinciples, to have a man in the Assembly, who never gave but one bad vote; when the truth would be, if disaffection could in any wise effect his defeat, (which it cannot) and elect one of our onionents, he would give all bod votes. ‘Ve say as the old hunter said of his old rifle, why I pick the flint and try her again. The latter, is long and well known to our citi zens as one of our ablest and most exem• plary citizens; and any words of com mendation from our feeble pen, would fall but coldly upon those who have learned his worth by intimate acquaintance. ICENZEY L. GREEN, is our candi date for Commissioner. He is a resident of Springfield township—a poor industri ous and honest farmer, of considerable more than the ordinary capacities of men in his sphere of life. ALEXANDER TIIOMPSON, of liar ree, is our candidate for Auditor. He i s also a citizen taken hom the every day walks of life—he is emphatically one of the people. In fact, our whole ticket is invincible. It was made to be elected, and most as.. suredly will. .Ve feel confident that the people will not allow any feeling, except a desire to do the "grextest good to the greatest number," entice them from the straight forward, plain path of duty.— Let no sectional—no personal—nor other feeling induce any man to mutilate our ticket. Much, very inui h depends upon unanimity of feeling and action. II we would give Harrison a majority that will astonish even ourselves, let us swell the majority at the first election on every candidate, to such a tremendous size, that the poor Loco Feces will hardly have courage to organize. We can heat their county ticket 1000, if we are a mind to do so. Let every man say "WE'LL TRY" —and our word for it—the thing will be. Fellow citizens, do not be misled. We feel as if upon the result of this year's election, depended our country's weal or • woe. Let no man remain inactive, but "arouse thee, arouse thee!" be up and do. ing. The people have borne the oppi es sion of power long enough. Let every man de hisduty this fall ;and mark what we say, "the day of our deliverance is, nigh." Begin now, do not wait till the day of electiun—Legin, and begin in ear• nest. Loco For° Congressman. The Loco Focos of this district, or as they call themselves, the Dementia, have selected their candidate rot Con- I gress. It is not our purpose to cast any allusions upon the State officers, who made that nomination, or even to insinu ate, a personal reflection upon the man l of their creation, unless we find that the mad spirit of their party shall tempt them to assail the character and conduct or our friend and candidate, Gen. James Ir vin. If they do so, we shall use our lees ble powers to defend him, and return the missle as sent.) We trust tho' is the name of our cum mon country, that this campaign, so far as regards our county, will be conducted with au eye single to the principles of the two contending parties; so far as we are concerned we shall be the last to deviate from that path. Gen. Wilson is the candidate of the party who profess so much hatred o! Banks, and yet have on more than one occasion, proved themselves their best friends. If he supports the doctrines of his party, he is bound to give his voice in favor of that odious Sob-treasury, which ,Mr. Van Buren says works so Hell in the ,twenty-two Monarchies of Europe. lie will give his voice by so doing, in favor of, the REDUCTION 01' THE POOR MAN'S' PAY FOR HIS TOIL—He will also be bound to oppose, that only, suppoi t to American enterpise and indus try—a sound and judicious Tariff; and as a matter of course, must give his voice in favor of the Standing Army bill; and fur thermore as a faithful partisan, roust wink at the disgraceful expenditures of the administration now wasting the per)• pie's taxes. People of this District, can 7ou so far forget the interest of your whole country, as to record your vote in favor of the us• moos policy of our rulers, which has for years oppressed it? We sey you cannot' The Bank Senator. ~O H: CONSISTZNCY !" Our readers, and the readers of every other paper in this county, can well re member the unceasing attacks made upon our candidates, from Joseph Ritner down, upon their kindly feeling to those “mon. eters," great and small, called Banks.— Ely eic.ry feeling or patriMism—by the love of country—by the love of Democ racy—and by the hatred of British Bank Aristocrats, the people were entreated, and threatened into an opposition of all Banks, and their "Bank bribed efficers."' Well, this was all well enough, if they believed what they professed. Let us see fora moment how they carry out their professions. Their party con ferees have met, and selected a candi date for a Senator; and honest reader, and consistent citizens, who do you think this Bank—British Bank—Whig Bank— and corrupt Bank hating party have no minated, to be placed at the head of their ticket? Why Dr. Joseph B. Ard, one of the largest stockholder in the Lewistown Bank, and a director to boot; and even "the party" of Juniata make no bones of calling him the Bank candidate. What think you of the consistency of the anti Bank party. Their humbugging scheme has finally been exposed in the nomina tion of this Bank officer, by a party who have for years been preaching opposition to Banks. We shall see if the honest men in their party are willing to have their principles betrayed, and their opin ions bartered off to please any man or set of men. 'We ask every man who has professed honesty in his anti Bank notions, how he can merge all the vital principles of his party, and blindly be led, like a bullock to the stall, and vote fur a man who gives the best kind of evidence that he is not only a Bank man, but is a Bank's man. To vote for Dr. Ard, would be a direct prostitution of every anti Bank principle. But we suppose we know how Dr. Ard happened to become the candidate. Mif flin county belongs to the Congressional District, and it was supposed if they did even cheat Juniata county out of their' rights, so that they, added to the strength of their candidate for Congress, they did not care. But no matter ; we shall be much mistaken it the rolling atone does not return upon him that sent it.
