Farmer, A Word What did Loco Focoism bequeath to the country ? Mr. Van Buren left us a bankrupt trea sury. He left the public interests every where abandoned. He left us without a currency. He left us in debt fifteen millions He left us the North Eastern and North Western Territorial questions--though of years duration—unsettled. He left us the Caroline question un settled. He left the question of the Right of Swell unsettled. The Compromise Act he left us at the year of its conclusion, and treasury notes, in lieu of manly revenue action. And with all the difficulties, foreign and domestic, piled tt mountain high" upon the shoulders of the new administration, the whigs are asked for the promised .reform ! Suppose, friend farmer, that in the gen .erosity of your confidence, you had em ployed an unworthy overseer upon your farm. That you had confided in him for years, trusting in his promises. Suppose this overseer to have suffered your land Ito run wild, to have destroyed your tim ber, to have levelled your buildings to the -ground, to have fired your orchard, to have killed your horses, and to have run you thousands of dollars in debt, and that, under such circumstances he had been discharged by you and a successor ap :pointed in his stead. In this state et case, white the newly engaged superintendent of your premises was busy in planing a reparation of these injuries, imagine that the villainous wretch who had caused them all, were to come upon your ground, and with a grin on his lace, ask the fol lowing questions: Why does not the corn grow upon this land which I suffered to run wild ? .Why is there no cash coining from the stills, tor the timber which I destroyed? Why are not houses erected in the stead of those I burned down? Why have you no horses here to supply the place of those which I killed 1 Why is there no return from the or• 'shard that I fired 1 Why have you not paid the thousand of dollars, to the amount of which I ran you ill debt. Don't you think, an this state of case, that neither church or state affair could .prevent you from knocking the rascal down 7 There is a true picture of loco focoism. Twelve years has it ravaged and laid waste every interest, undoing in an hour that, which fbr years has taxed the virtue and wisdom of the Nation ; and now, we who .are groaning beneath its enormities, are iuslirtingly asked— Why have you not built up what we hove torn down.—ludi. 4n4Journ4l. • The Coal Trade.

The table of the British coal is the official report taken from the Wash ington returns, of all the coal imported into the United States. his, too, is highly interesting, as it exhibits the fact, that the importation has been regularly on the in crease, and this too, when the duty is one dollar and twenty-six cents a too. If the imports have been so steadily increasing with a comparative high duty, what will it be after the 30th of June, when the duty is reduced to eighty-six cents only a ton? The coal trade of the country at large is of immense importance, and is becoming greater and greater every day. Besides' the great quantity of anthracite, bitumin. oils coal is beginning to work with great advantage. The low price of hard coal has been the consequence of the great fa. cilities that has been afforded. Millions of capital 'MS been invested in laying down railroads and constructing canals. What will become of this great interest wken the mines of Nova Scotia, which are in fact at our very doors, are worked ; and the coal is brought here almost duty free I or when the colliers of our mines are thus scattered—the coal pits filled with water.--the canals filled up, and the rail roads gone to decay ? The trade will be ruined, and it will take twenty years more tariff at least to bring them back to their present position. As soon as foreign com petition has destroyed our works, we shall then be at the mercy of British monopo lists, and it requires no ghost to rise from the dead to tell us that the consumer would have ,to pay twenty or fifty per cent. more than is paid at present.--Har. Telegraph. A BAD SPECULATION.-A fellow lately escaped from the jail in Keene, N. H., and was taken a short time after in Arlington, Vt. His captors were proceeding to jail with him when they met two men from Charleston in pursuit. These men pur chased the prisoner of his captors for ,$l5O, thinking to get the reward of $2OO offered for his apprehension. They stop ped at Landsgrove for the night, and secured the fugitive with a heavy timber chain, set two large dogs to watch him. They also resolved to watch him them selves, but about two o'clock, both men and dogs fell asleep, and the fellow slily crept out, cut off his shackles with an axe, and cleared. The editor of the Claremont Eagle, who tells the story, says he should like to have seen the fellows the next morning who forked over the hundred and filly dollars. —Lowell Courier. THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL. "One country, one constitution, cne destiny." Huntingdon, May 18, 1842. V. B. PALMEtt, Esq. (No. 104 S. 3rd St. n!:ladelphia,)is authorized to act as Agent for this paper, to procure subscriptions and ad vertismerts. The Tax of the Present Ad- ministration. Reader, has the tax collector yet called upon you? If he has, you have no doubt had a little taste of the fruits of the present Administration. In this county the amount of the ordi• ' nary tax assessed for county purposes for' the year 1842, is $16,956 66, to which is' added the sum of $11,528 78 of State tax' assessed' under the act of June 1840. It will be seen that the State tax amounts to more than two thirds of the county tax; and besides this, if any person likes to hear it, we can inform him that it is one of the leading measures of the Administra tion to lay a DIRECT TAX of ONE AND A HALF MILLION OF DOLLARS upon, the people of Pennsylvania. A bill auth-1 ori7ing this amount of State tax was bro't forward and urged by the loco focos at the late session of the Legislature, and will no doubt be again urged at the Extra Ses sion in June. And this is done by a "democratic" Legislature--by a political party who profess great love for the poor, and who are professedly opposed to thus robbing the laborer of the price of his la bor. What think you of this? We appeal to the Farmers, the Mechanics, and the toiling multitude of Huntingdon county, and ask them whether they think this is right. And what is the necessity for this enormous tax? It is to keep up and sup port a swarm of political vampires and office holders, most of whom are of no benefit or advantage to The people. Under former Administrations, the or dinary revenue of the Commonwealth was sufficient to keep the wheels of Govern ment in motion, without resorting to the oppressive mode of direct taxation which has become the favorite measure of the present Administration. It is, however, of no avail to murmur at this. The voice of the people is not regarded by their ru lers, as in the democratic days of yore.-- It seems to be the ne plus ultra of modern " democracy" to support the office holder by direct taxation and its extreme oppo• site, repudiation of Stale debts. If the "democracy" of the State do not get sick of the present Administration be fore the taxes of another year are collected we shall be greatly in error. This year they get but a foretaste of what they may expect the next. Crying evils are always urged slowly,—•by degrees—for no people would submit to have them forced upon them at once. When the tax gatherer pays hia coal• pliments to you, acrd asks you to hand over your quota of tar, it then becomes you to inquire why it is that the tax is so much higher than in other years; for you will then be in a proper frame of mind to study the matter out. Every effect has its cause; and you will no doubt be able to discover the cause of the tax gatherer's visit to you. fiCr The Indiana papers give very good accounts of the grain fields in that State, an think that alter harvest wheat may be bought for twenty five cents per bushel. That is certainly eery cheap. Teeth. Our readers in and about Huntingdon, who wish to procure artificial teeth, or to have any operations performed upon their own, are referred to the advertisement of Dr. D. MAYER, (of Lewistown) in another !column of this paper. The Washington correspondent of the U. S. Gazette, in a letter dated the Bth inst., says—" I learn that Jesse Mil ler, First Auditor, has been of is to bej immediately removed from office, and that John Williamson will be nominated in his place ; also that a Mr. Barr, formerly from Philadelphia, is to succeed him." O The Washington Correspondent of the U. S. Gazette in his letter of the 11th inst., has the following : "There is some trouble brewing with Mexico; not that which is likely to bring 'about a rupture, but only that which will! We are authorized to announce the induce our Government to be very deci% Illaamteer I. t V i i e l li a i f l B. i Z;!l . l . er, as 6i P. for t h e 2n( sive with her in regard to the payment of Rerdm o e r nt ' lst o ßa c t e ta o lion M. at the elec certain claims. I'll tell you more of this tion in June next. when I have more room to spare than I Huntingdon, May 18, 1842 have this evening. Mr. Webster is pre paring despatches to be sent off to Mr. Thompson immediately." (*.- The Washington correspondence of , the Baltimore American, gives the follow ing rumor, relative to the expected duel between Messrs. Wise 4ntl Stanley : "The affair between Messrs. Wise and Stanley, it is believed, is coming to a cri sis. Mr. Stanley was not in his seat to day, and left last evening for Bladensburg. Information to this effect was communica ted to the Marshall of the District, who is on the qui vine to prevent a duel from taking place within the ten miles square. Mr. Wtse was in his scat a part of the day. It is believed that preliminary steps to a challenge have been taken. Mr. Stanley of N. C. will send the challenge. I give all this as but rumor." TO OUR READER9.-It is not of ten we have any thing to say upon the subject of medicine, but from the experience we have had in witnessing the numerous cures per formed by Brandreth's Vegetable Univer sal Pills, we cannot do less than reccom mend them to the special notice of the public. In removing pulmonary affections, ath ma, and 11 II disorders of the lungs, they are the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief they have afforded, even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel. IVitli regard to their efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately too prevailing disorder in this country, (consumption,) their superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine. Those in advanced life, who feel the consequence of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms re moved, which are the general effects of such causes.—Alexander's Messengir.

MORGAN Of Indiana county, to Miss ANN A. menu' of Gaysport, Huntingdon county. 0331T7A.Z.7. Departed this life on Sunday morning last, at Hollidaysburg, JUDITH L., consort of Major William Williams, of that place, in, the 30th year of her age. Her disease was' pulmonary consumption, which she bore with christian meekness, and with entire resigna tion to the Divine will. Happily as Death approached, her faith in her dear Redeemer strengthened, and the "grim monster" was, to her, shorn of his terrors. Her assurances of a gracious welcome by her Saviour, and a glorious immortality, enabled her to exclaim triumphantly, "Death, Where is thy sting, 0 Grave, where is thy victory!" This priv ilege, afforded to few comparatively, must he highly consolotary to her afflicted husband and htimerous friends. Her mortal remains, at her own request, were brought to Huntingdon, and interred amongst her &ceased relations. She was a daughter of John McConnell, of the latter place. 1, Blessed are the dead whu die in the Lord." [Communicated. ID. ILLAMIIIII4 SURGEON DENTIST.
