    but only byjtself." Let such, therefore,
es doubt,ll l s it by the record itself.
But quare, Master Kickapoo, should, not
the commission of a Justice of the Peace
who refuses to bow to your iron rod be

or

as appears by the 23,000 majority, and the
affidavit of John Cress:Dell ?
The Tariff question.
We copy the following paragraph from
the' , Watchman" of last week.
Uj Who are the friends of Me Tariff ?
bir. Ingersoll, a few days since, asked leave
to introduce a bill for the purpose of raising
revenue, and giving protection to American
Manufacturers, and upon the question of
granting leave to introduce it, every Whig,
pith one or two exceptions, voted NAY.—
And yet these men and their supporters claim
to be the friends of a Tariff !! Out upon
such contemptible trickery—such barefaced
hypocrisy!!!
The above contains " a story not half
told," as its author must very well know.
It is fresh in the memory of every one
that the Whigs passed two Tariff
during the present session— that John
Tyler vetoed them —and that the Loco
Focus, generally, rejoiced at the late of
those bills. After the veto came, Charles
J. Ingersoll, who declared he " would have
been a Tory had he lived during the Rev
olution," asked leave to introduce a lame
and objectionable bill, which we are now
told was " for the purpose of raising reve
nue, and giving protection to American
Manufacturers." On the question to grant,
leave, only 43 voted in the affirmative, )
including the " Corporal's Guard."--
1
Now how does it come that Mr. Tory In
gersoll's bill received only 4S votes in a
House which contains more than 100 Lo
eo Foco votes, and these Loco Focos the
" true friends of the Tariff?" The hum
fug is palpable, and yet the Loco Focus
want to make political capital out of the
fact that the Whigs would not follow the
lead of a 4. TORT !PI
But, as our neighbor seems not to know
the true doctrine of the Loco Foco party
In this State in regard to a Tariff, we will
respectfully call his attention to the fol
lowing resolution which the Loco Focos
in our State Legislature passed through
Ste second reading by a vote of 55 to 35,
on the 24th of June last:—
" Retrolverfigrhat the Legislature of Penn
sylvania roe ises the doctrine of laying
imposts on the commerce of foreign nations,
coming into the United States, sufficient only
to defray the ordinary expenses of the gener
cl government, and that a Tariff exceeding
that amount is oppressive in its effects on the
consumer and unproductive of any good to
the country."
Now, the above resolution, which may
be found on the Journal of the House of
Representatives, contains the very essence
of the Loco Foco doctrine on the subject
of a Tariff. They clearly repudiate a
Protective Tariff, and recognize no other
than one sufficient merely to " defray the
ordinary expenses of the general govern
ment."
If the Loco Pecos wish to turn over to
the friends of a Protective Tariff, let them
do it honestly and fairly; and we will be
glad to see them do so ;but we despise the
hypocrisy which would make us believe
that they are the " true Friends of the
Tariff," when they are in fact its bitterest
enemies.
The Loco coca Movement.
In alluding to the call fur a Working.
men'. Convention we mentioned, last
week; that we did not believe that the
Farmers, Mechanics and Workingmen in
this county can again be induced, by de
ception, to support the measures of the
Loco Foco party, planned for our defeat.
I rWe are daily confirmed more strongly
that that belief was well founded. The
Workingmen's (no.party)" Society," like
many a dog, has had its day. The honest
portion of our citizens see through the
whole scheme, and none but the legitimate
Loco Focos belong to that party. Every
Loco Foco, however, ruffle shirted dandy,
fop, soap-lock, idler, vagabond and all,
who have always been members of the
Loco Foco party are now workingmen,
and compose the head, body and tail of
the new party, which professes no creed
or principles, has no other ultimate object
in view than self aggrandizement, and in-
vites all—no matter what their principles
—their professions—their practices—their
calling--or their standing may be, to come
and join with them!
It may be that there was reason last
year for dissatisfaction at the nominations
of our party. We know that such dissat
isfaction did exist, and that that was the
means of the defeat of a part of the Tick-
It. But who will say that there is any
cause for such dissatisfaction this year ;
er who can point to a man who is dissat
isfied and can say one word against the
,whole or any part of the ticket formed by
the County Convention on the 10th inst.
"The peculiar situation of the times
and the oppressive burthens now borne by
the laboring population," say the Loco
Foco Central Committee," render it advi
sable that they should (without distinction
of party) take the affairs of Government
into their own hands." Now the only
men to be elected this fall o ho can in any
manner effect these " burthens" either for
better or worse, are the members of the
Legislature. From among the " laboring
population" the Democratic County Con
vention have selected JONATHAN MCWIL
LIAMS and Blues; BLAIR as candidates for
that station. The former is a man who
toils daily in his axe factory, and the lat
ter is an industrious farmer. Are these
not the proper kind of men to represent
Huntingdon county! Certainly they are.
Why then oppose them! Simply because
they are not Loco Focos, and because they
will never support the reckless Adminis_
itration that imposed those "oppressive
burthens," of which the Central Commit
tee speak, upon the shoulders of the " la
boring population." This is the grand
secret of the opposition. Who, then, will
encourage it ?
Some may ask why we style those whose
names are appended to the call for the
Convention the Loco Foco Central Com
mittee, when at least one sound, firm and
unflinching Whig is numbered among
thorn. We will explain. That man was
appointed on said Committee without his
knowledge or consent--he never signed
the call, and has perhaps never seen it.—
We believe that he cannot be found op
'posing the ticket formed by our party on
the 10th of August. Though a friend to
the Workingmen in every sense of the
word, he will never assist to delude and
humbug them as is now again attempted
by the minions of Governor Porter.
Our space will not permit us to say any
thing further on this subject at present.—

Post Office Regulations.
As erroneous opinions prevail among
the community on the subject of the du
ties of Postmasters, we make the following
extracts from the instructions of the Post
master General of the United States to
Postmasters:
The law fixes three classes of postage,
viz: On letters, on newspapers, and on
pamphlets. There are two rates of pamph
let postage; the first chargeable on pamph
lets that are periodical, and the second on
those that are not. In determining the
rate of postage on any article, you will
always bear in mind that every thing sent
in the Mail, which is not either a newspa.
per, or a pamphlet of one of the two class
es, is to be charged with letter postage.
Letter postage to be charged on all
handbills, printed or written; prices cur
rent, sealed or unsealed ; prospectuses,
proposals for new publications, circulars,
lottery bills and advertisements, blank
forms, deeds, law processes, policies of
insurance, and manuscript copy for publi
cation. Also on all packets that are
closely enveloped and sealed, so that wikat
they contain cannot be known.
In order that frauds may be readily
traced and detected, postmasters must be
careful to mark or stamp every transient
paper, magazine, or pamphlet sent from
their offices.
"The union of two true hearts in mar
-1 riage is a scene which art decorates with
the most splendid and imposing works of
her hands, innocent curiosity flocks to it
as a marvel and a show, the Aral senti
ments of mankind sanction it, religion
blesses it. Christ himself once hallowed
it with his presence, and God adds to it
the choicest smiles of his providence."--

Our Senator.
FRIEND CREMER
I observe in your pa•
per of last week, a communication signed
"Justice," written undoubtedly to further
the claims of Perry county to the next
Senator. Now I can only say in the
outset, that I do not care from which coun
ty in the district the candidate is taken ;
yet I must protest against the position
assumed by "Justice." He would lead
the reader to infer that every county com
posing this Senatorial district except Perry
ha a had a member of the Senate since the
district has been in its present shape.—
Such is not the fact. Truth and Justice
cannot well be separated, and truth says
that McCulloch, whom "Justice" gives
as the Senator of Mifflin, was elected, and
his term of service had expired before the
apportionment of the State into the pres
ent Senatorial district; so that Perry can
not urge her claims as prior to Mifflin.—
Nor do I wish it understood that I pro
pose thrusting the claims of any one upon
our friends, as the only precursor of suc
cess.
Neither men nor their locality can in
dace me to press the claims of any one;
any issue of that kind will tend only to
engender disaffection and unkind feelings.
' I hope every writer will place the question
on the snore important ground. The im
portance of success at this time— and of
success with some man, whose principles
are known and openly avowed—who in
truth is opposed to the present oppressive
and unequal taxation--the squandering of
the public money—the increase of officers
on our public woi ks—and is in favor of a
just Apportionment Bill, and the strut
accountability of oflicial agents—who is
an open advocate of a Protective Tariff,
and a National Institution to give perma
nency and regularity to our currency—
and who is in favor of the distribution of
the proceeds of the Public Lands among
the States. If such a man be selected, I
care not where he lives—whether in Per
ry, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata or Union
--HE MUST BE ELECTED. Let no
paltry notions of his place of birth—or
where he may call home, influence any
man who values his principles. Let our
object as a people be more noble than such
as will be gaged by county pride.
Tli a motto of your paper, " One country,
one constitution, one destiny,"—should be
the guide of every American Freeman.
Local questions have proved the rock on
which the people have too often seeg a piefi
Mopes shipwrecked—and ;any portion
views actua
t ! l Mir f oWn lolly.
!F 6 ,lciil they be the victims
In conclusion, I trust that our confer
ees will meet, and among all the many
good men they may have before them, they
will select that man who will prove most
efficient and faithful in the support of such
measures as are now known to be the only
ones which can bring us out of trouble.
LEONIDAS,
Huntingdon, Aug. 29th 1842.
To the Senatorial Conferees.
MR. CREMER
• I am right glad to see a
correspondent in your paper giving his
views and wishes upon the subject of our
nest Senator. It is the true republican
plan, and I should like to see it become
general. I differ however from " Justice"
as to the claims of the counties. Mifflin
county has not had a Senator since she
has formed a part of this district. II that
gives any claim, she at least possesses the
same as Perry; and among her citizens
there is one whose merits I should like to
have brought before the conference. I
allude to SIIEM ZOOK. Mr. Zook is a
plain, unpretending, practical man, pos.
sessed of a sound and discriminating mind,
whose knowledge of the situation of our
affairs of governinent, and whose practical
knowledge of their unturtunate effects
upon the farming interest, cannot but ren
der him a useful and efficient member of
our State Senate. By giving the above an
insertion you will oblige a friend to the
cause of the people.

this Borough, aged 19 years and 7 months.
Communicated.
" Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind's'
breath,
And stars to set—but all
Thou bast, all seasons for thine own, oh!
death."
How sensitively do the words of the po
etess touch the heart, as we notice this victim
to that insatiate archer. But a few days have
passed, since the cheerful eye and happy
smile of the deceased gladdened the gay cir
cle of her friends, at her own bridal. Alas!
how changed! Ere her budding hopes had
blossomed, the garlands of the bride gave
place to the habiliments of the tomb—the
hopes of life to the realities of death—and the
laugh of joy to the sigh and tear of mourning.
Throughout a lingering illness, with christian
meekness and resignation she said, "not my
will but Thine be dune." Confident in the
redeeming blood of the Saviour, she left the
cares of this world, calmly relying on the
hope set before us. As she lived beloved,
she has (lied mourned by a large circle of
companions and friends.
.. Go, all undimmed, in thy glory go!
Young and crowned bride of death;
Take hence to heaven
Thy holy thoughts and bright,
And soaring hopes, that were not given
For the touch of mortal blight!
Might we follow in thy track.
This parting should not be!
But the Spring shall give us violets back,
And every flower—but thee!"
