Judge Elliott I do soirom my own person_
al knowledge of the man (tor I have the '
honor of an intimate acquaintance with
him). He is a native of Perry county, a j
farmer and a workingman. Ido not
mean a workingman in the prostituted
sense of that term, as recently defined in
- this county ; no, I mean the man who
works with " both his hands," and who
can feel and sympathize with the hard
fisted laborer. Although Judge Elliott's
_circumstances do not require that he
should work, for by his industry and fru
gality lie has made himself comfortable,
yet he does work because he believes it to
be his duty. But while Ile is a working
man, he has not neglected the improve-.
!men' of a sound and vigorous mind, but
has stored it with whatever is useful in
private or public life. In 1835 he was
appointed an associate Judge in Perry
county by Joseph Ritner, and on more than
one occasion, did his Honor Judge Reed,
who then presided in that district, observe
that Judge Elliott was " one of the best of
men, and that he did honor to the Bench
he sat upon, as well as to the Governor
who appointed him." He has however
been rocked oft the Bench that his talents
and integrity graced, by that rude tempest
of party which spares nothing. His po
litical principles are what they should be;
Ile is in favor of all the leading doctrines
of the Whig party, which if put into prac
tice, will bring back to this country pros.
perity ; and should he be elected, which I
think there is no doubt of, he will lend a
vigorous hand in the work of reform. In
Perry county Judge Elliott is exceedingly
popular, and the result of the election in
that county, will tell with more eloquence
than my pen, of the high estimation in
which he is held by all parties. With
such a man then as our candidate, shall
we not succeed P We are the same party
that triumphed so gloriously over corrup
tion and fraud in 1840,—we profess the
same principles now that we did then,—
and although the splendor of that memo
rable victory has been somewhat eclipsed
by the deception and ingratitude of John
Fyler, yet " truth crushed to earth will
ae again." Let us not forget that some
very important questions are to be settled ,
by the next Legislature, and it behooves,
every man who claims to be a citizen of
this Commonwealth, to do something for
her in her present distressed - and crippled
situation.

Highly respected Iriends,—l cannot re
frain from tendering through you to the
Whigs of Huntingdon county, my sincere
acknowledgment for the confidence mani
fested in my behalf, by bringing my name
before the public for so responsible and
important an office as that of State Sena
tor. Besure I did not receive the nomi
!iation, but that produces with me no other
regrot than that which I feel for the disap
,,,,intinent of my friends. lam well assu
re! that I have friends enough in Mifflin
u,mity to have secured conferees by the
most fair and open means, who would
!,,ve gone for my nomination had the mat
r been attended to.
The Whig party are contending for
principles, it matters little with them who
the candidate is, provided he be " honest
and capable." These qualifications Mr.
Elliott, the present nominee, is said toi
possess in an eminent degree. It behooves
us therefore, as honest and consistent
Whigs, to support his election by all lair
and honorable means.
I am truly and
Respectfully yours,
SH. ZOOK.

habit of writing for a newspaper, but I
feel disposed to say a few things taatay
fellow citizens, about the present state of
our county politics. I am a plain man,
Sir, with but a common education, the
west that poor parents could give me; this,
and a good trade, have enabled me, hith
,?rto, to make an honest living. I am a
mechanic, and a " Working man" —and
consequently feel deeply interested in the
.illiiirs of our common country— and more
.specially the result of the approaching
tall elections. I have seen good times,

cursed with so bad a one. Mr. Van 80. ,of it before.
ren must follow in the " foot steps" of his
"illustrious predecessot ," and of course
continue this curse. They also must des
troy the Tariff law. Yes, they choked
and strangled it. This law which kept
our country from being overflowed with
foreign goods and merchandise of every
description; or if they were imported had
to pay such a duty as filled the coffers of
our National Treasury, and defrayed the
expenses of our Government. Aye in
deed did it, and had some forty millions
of dollars to spare and distribute among
the States!! to aid in keeping up our
schools and lessen taxation. This Linker- ,
ing and experimenting with our currency,
when it was so good that it required no
;change—and the violent opposition to our
Thriff laws, with some other acts that I
could mention, 1 Oink, have been the
main cause of all our trouble and distress—
bringing us as a nation almost to beggary
and want—closing up our work shops—
our large manufacturing, establishments—
turning our mechanics and laboring men
into the streets and highways, to seek a
living for themselves, their women and
children, as they best could.
Now I have asked myself, when calmly
and sorrowfully brooding over this state
of things, who were the cause and the au
thors of i ? is it the party who call
themselves Whigs', No. Why? Be
cause they have been in the minority all
the time; therefore they could have no
control over these Nags. Then it must
be the other party—and who are they?
Why the Locofocos as they are called.
'They have been in the majority for the
last ten or twelve years, and consequently
having the control of our national affairs,
must be accountable—there can be nothing
surer. Within the last year, I have wit
nessed, the Whig party, striving to re
medy these evils by the enactment ,of a
"Fiscal Agent" or a currency law, and a
new Tariff Bill. With unceasing efforts,
have they labored, night and day, for
nearly nine months, without intermission
to accomplish these ends, but they have
only partially succeeded.
Who have opposed these salutary mea
sures? The records of Congress will
show where their votes are registered.
Yes, here again the Locofocos have warred
against the Whigs—war to the knife, and
knife to the hilt!! opposing inch by inch,
every exertion to erect a Tariff Bill. But
it passed notwithstanding their savage
inveteracy to it. They now call it a "bill
of abominations," and openly declare it
shall be repealed. This bill has given
some little confidence, and raised the
drooping spirits of the hard-fisted " work
ing men.
Now, a word or two, about our own
county matters, and I will quit. We
have three parties it seems, Whig, Locofo
co and Workingmen. The Whigs, as
have said before, advocate the true and
genuine doctrine of protection for the
country. The Locos oppose it. The
" Workingmen," reaily and truly as such
must carry out the measures of the Whigs,
as they are identically the same ; and
when honestly in the field to advance the
interests of the mechanic and laborer, I
would go heart anti hand with them. But
only behold those who compose the Work
ingmens Ticket of this county—the ofli
cers of their late meeting on the 10th inst.
at Alexandria ? Why they are the rank
est and worst kind of Locofocosl I Braw
ling declaimers against the Tariff!! Free
trade men! I Openly and avowedly such!
VV hat 1 men that scout at the system of
protection, that which can alone sustain
the "working man," and keep his wife
and children from becoming paupers, a
township charge!! they to palm them,
selves upon the comniunity . as genuine
" working men"' ! Oh no! thie won't do!
Too much pudding choketh a dog! Gen
tlemen your cloven feel stick out from un
der your mantles!! The scent on your
hoots is strong! Bah!!
You imposed upon the honest Whigs
last fall, by your very plausible pretext of
being the real " working men." But you
don't do it again. No, no! Your evil
deeds "taint the air"—and as Col. liar-
ris says, " It is always in order to smell !"
Whew I l'lsh r. Mr. Weston, I find,
stuck to the text last winter, and during
the extra session of the Legislature, al-
ways — voting with the Locolocos, against
the Whigs and Workingmen. Him I see,
you retain on your ticket--a pretty Pet!!
But Jesse Moore who would not be bribed
at — Harrisburg—who always went with
the Whigs for the Tariff resolutions, and
for our share of the proceeds of the public
lands ; him you have unkindly kicked oft'
—made a yearlinc of him. He went fur
Now when I see all this, can I think—
or can any honest man believe, that these
men have any good of the count' y in view ?
No, Sir, they are after " power and place"
again. Their object is to subvert, to over-'
throw the Whig party in this county. I
mean the Locotocos, who are too weak in
themselves to attain this object, and there
fore get up a" Workinmens" party to use
as a machine to help them—pretending
that it is all for the good of the dear peo
ple, and striving to associate some of the
' disaffected Whigs with them: t—and thus
under their cover, stab them under the
fifth rib! Fellow citizens, and fellow
mechanics, am I not right? Do not these
things speak aloud, trumpet tongued, and
for themselves? Oh be on your guard—
the issue this fall ha to us one of life or
death. If these Locofocos, and false
workingmen succeed in electing their
assemblymen, then they will also succeed
in electing a U. S. Senator, next winter
at Harrisburg—and who will he be? An
other Buchanan—an opposer of your in
terests—a ten cent a day man--one who
says " brown bread and no meat is good
enough for mechanics!" Brethren look
to this, it is your political salvation; the
welfare of your families depends upon it.
I should like to say a word about the
Whig ticket for this fall, but when I look
back upon what I have written, I think it
will male too long a piece for the paper.
But I may write again, and will now first,
say, that i a:n personally well acquainted
with almost all the candidates. Jonathan
McWilliams, lie a first rate man--an edge
tool mechanic---." smind in sense and
strong in speech." B,nce Blair, is a true
and sound Whig, a working man in truth.
He holds the handle of h,'s own plough.
I need not mention the rest of the ticket,
they are all of the same kind ,of men. If
we would save ourselves and our county,
we must in my opinion vote for them this
fall. If I have time, and you will publish
this, I may write again next week. I did
not know which of your Huntingdon pa
pers I would offer these remarks fur pob
lication in, when I first began. But upco
reflection, I thought I would not give tlwin
to the " WatAinati," because tnat paper
advocates and holds the doctrines of these
' Locofocos amid " false workies ;" and be
cause all the editorial remarks are so full
of " blackguardism," and low vulgar
abuse. This I do not like. Subjects should
be discussed closely and decently. But
it matters not how respectfully any publi
cation is made in any other paper—how'
' chaste the language, or how respectable or
gentlemanly, the individual mentioned,
may be, the same kind of coarse Billings
gate is found in the" Watchman" lam
sorry for it; it keeps the people from be
' ing enlightened through the medium of the
paper, as good and orderly citizens a
' void theseindecent squabbles.

A Few Word. in Favor of Dr. Dran
dreth'e Vegetable Universal Pille.--This
valuable medicine is so well known in the
United States, and particularly in this city,
(Philadelphia) as a sovereign remedy in the
cure and prevention of disease, that we
scarcely know what to say, that will be re -1
ceived in its favor. One thing is certain,'
they possess this eminent advantage over
most other purgatives, that while they oper-I
ate gently they produce neither costiveness, I
debility, nor too great excitement; whenever'
there is a predisposition to disease, arising
from marsh effluvia, or too copious use of ar•
dent spirits, or a vitiated state of the bile,
they are sure to relieve.
We highly recommend them to travellers,
by sea and by land, as they may be made use
of with the utmost safety, without change of
diet or exercise. They will be found pecu
liarly. beneficial in the protection from disor
ders incidental to hot climates; they deterge
and cleanse viscid humors, open obstructions,
promote the secretion of good bile, operating
as a cathatic and powerful diuretic and dia
phoretic.—Daily Chronicle.

It would be preposterous in a writer for the
readers of such a journal as the Courier, to
address their prejudices, passions or super
stitions. Good common sense should at least
be possessed by the readers of this paper, and
those possessed of such, and those only, do
Iwe care to attract. We will now assert, in
the most unqualified terms, that an innocent
remedy has been found, that will absolutely
cure Rheumatism and stiffness of joints, if of
twenty years' standing. The assertion is so
broad, that it will hardly obtain credence, we
are aware, unless supported by uncommon
testimony. Now the testimony given to so
many worthless quackeries is so abundant,
that to discriminate between such, and real
matter of fact testimony, is very difficult. To
come at once at a point that can be at once
appreciated, the proprietors have resolved to
give this remedy to the poor, and to cure
those able to pay for it, before they ask pay,
and then leave it to the sufferer to pay what,
he chooies. We entreat, therefore, suffer
ers to call at 7'l Maiden Lane, for some drops
(Indian Elixer) to be. taken, and a Nerve and
Bone Liniment to ufe outwardly ; and if they
will not, by one week's use, become more
surprised and delighted than they ever ex
' pected, we will never again make such an
assertion, Will invalids now suffer for the
want of this mild, innocent, and all potent
remedy? If they refuse it, we pity them in
