The nougA-CarpPetter
Again al Wor
Nil:. Jt.):l
It is 3 lonviale since I have
written any ihing tar trio ;midi.; prints;.
and then I gave some rough hewn notices
in the " Joutnal" at Huntingdon. But in'
these times, when " teorAing men," are
working themselves into a party . or rath
er, when one of the leading parties of the
day, is trying to " work than on the shores"
I thought it would out be out of the way
it I should sharpen up my "broken-axe!'
and try its edge upon these new (angled
workingmen, that have lately become so
very industrious in our county. A few
years ago I traced the lines of a taw poli
ticians; and it was said, pretty well; so
here goes to try it again.
Your paper and the "Journal," have
been " dobbnig in ;" and I think I can get
along pretty well, considering.
I have fur several years thought, that
the workingmen did not attend strictlye
nough to their political duties. While they
were at work, toiling fur their bread and
butter, the politicians, were always busy
working for office ; and when they got in,
they worked into each others hands ; and
the truth is they have worked the state so
much in debt aml out of credit, that every
body says that politics is nothing but a
fight between the ins and oats. But if
the working men would take my advice,
demagogues would be out of power, and
the State out of debt—honest men in their
places, and the State in credit. If you
want to be cheated out of your eyes, trade
horses with a regular horse jockey, and be
lieve what he says ; and my word for it
you will agree at once vou are done fur.
So if you want to be cheated in politics,,
trade with politicians—believe what theyl
say—anti if you atilt cheated, say I ant a
tool.
Now, how is it with this new party—or
rather old party, under a new name, that
is pretending to Ise so much in love with
the working men of our county. Who
are the master mechanics that are laying
out the work, and what is their object ?
Let me tell you. They are a set of old
party pack horses, that have broken down,
carrying their own corruptions as a load—
they want to get a new start: and they
know no ether way than to tickle the pre
judices of workingmen—pretend they
work hard—and say they think all the.
world of any man who really does work
for a living—When onec in power, what
do they care for you, or your hard work?
not the snap of their fingers. Just let us
look at the only man of last years litter,
that the leaders considered tit to be their
man again.
THOMAS WESTON. Is not he al
pretty thing to he considered a cliao , ptool
or the workingman's rights. •• traitor,

of yet they wan t you to think him very
honest. Now, if he had deserted the rank
and file drill of one party, without tryi^e '
40 creep into the other, he might make I
sotto pretensions to honesty, but this is 1
asking too much— a party tool a working-
maii's friend!—nonsense!Workingmen 1
don't use such tools—it is worse than u
sing a shoeing hammer to drive nine inch
spikes—working men want a man who has
some principles, and who will stick to
them—Every mechanic has a rule, and he
always works by it. Tommy Weston is
fit for nothing but a dupe fur politicians,
and for that lie does right well—Let them
use him. But let us sue his colleague,
GEORGE R. McFARLANE. All I
know of him I have learned from himself
and madam Rumor, neither of them said
to be very good authority. lie is a great
workine. b man, so he says—and in tact I
know he does a great deal of wind work.
He has been a working man since the a.
grurian notions et that working women
Fanny 11' right first took toot in Philadel
phia county, (in 1829, so he says ;) and
since that time his puppy love" fur the
toiling millions has grown into an undying
affection; and when that odious and justly
dispised party went to pot, George mixed
with other kindred spirits; and has for
years in our county, been a regular blow
horn fur a party, and has as regularly as
si p/ pa, ty man I know, keen pulling the
fenthers from that quiet old goose—the
public. When party prejudices were to
be excited—and a little ileinagogueism
was to be used—" I more George R. Mc
.Farlane address this meeting" always
found him really t hough wholly unprepa•
red, and unexpeetedly called on"— to open
the fountain of party slang; entirely for
getting either truth or reason. lie ispur
ty hired, and party paid, yet lie wants to
be called a friend of the workingmen.—
But independent of all this ; he is opposed
to American Mechanics--lie wants these
to have no protection by their government
from the pauper labor of the old countries i ;
and I won't vote for any such man ; so
long as I have tulwork for a living in my
native country. George works too well for
his share of party stemlings, to think of
men who work for bread—That won't do
—working men let him pass. Bat they
have one honest soul on that ticket--a '
real laborer fur office, that I must not fur- '

for any thins but office, that is out as a

in James Steel's office—he wants the bread
of the friend who led him when lie was like'
to starve in the poliiical field--1 never
knew an honest working man who did not'
despise an ungrateful man—even dogs will
not kill sheep at home. Let Jerry stick

wear the scar I nos. give him. There is
one more working man on this ticket,

I imagine he is a fine subject for &Nuts

or two, and leave him to be inquired after.

considered the rotation candidate. They
could not have selected a better one. For
it I am correctly informed he has been ro
tating in office for more than thirty years,
and as been out only one; He is now
ready again, and fresh from the people.
THIRTY YEARS IN OFFICE ought to
satisfy most men, but it is left for that pa
triotic place called Huntingdon, to furn
ish a candidate, who is willing still to be
the servant of the people, after a service
of 30 years, what a spirit of resignation
to the people's will ! With what meek
ness he foregoes his own desires, and works
for the working men! Patriot son, of Pas
triot sire! Thirty years in office, and still
willing to hold on, a little longer, and'
yet a little longer!" Is it not strange
what love of the workingmen will do.
11 orkingmen/ I don't mean you Ilurn•
bug fellows--1 mean you who dig and,

to represent your interests, I can't go it.
And if such men can get into our offices,
all I have got to do is to work still harder

THE VOICE OF THE "BIG
DIS rfticr :7)
Pursuant to public notice a large and re-
I spectable meetmg of the Harrisonian Dein
ocrats of the " Big D , strict" was held o
the house of Win. Donaldson, HI the Bt..
l ough of ih evening of
Fridny, ;he 93,! nr,
JOIN STANLEY, of Da.cansvdle, was
appointed President; SETH R. NlcCumt,
Jame Coors.*, E. L. COWAN and Aztem.
VANTRIEN, Vice Presidents ; and Benj.
C. Lytle and James M. HiCit, Secretaries.
Oil motion of Jno. Penn Jones,
Resolved, That a committee of ten be
appointed to prepare a preamble and res
°lotions expressive of the sentiments of
the meeting:
Whereupon the President appointed J.
P. JOIIPCI. J. TT .
Cord, D. Armstrong, William Hamilton,
Dale' Beatty, Jacob Stufit, John Simons,
Robt. A. Dt cMurtrie, and George Stoner,
said committee.
After retiring for a short time the com
mittee, through their chairman, reported
the following:
.'Eternal vigilance is the r. 4.. of Lib.
1
~,,,..” Deeply impressed with the cor
rectiees of this maxim, we deem it our
first duty to remind our fellow citizens
that our independence and our republican
institutions are only human establishments,
carved into existence by human exertions,
and to be sustained only by human efforts
—that by vigilance, perseverance and en
ergetic action alone can we expect to per
petuate them, and that the loss of them
would be a calamity to the human family
terrible in its consequences and momen
tous in its disastrous results. Then, in
hiew of the foregoieg considerations, and
firmly believing that our efforts are rightly
' directed•—that our principles are the prin•
ciples upon which a Republic must stand,
and our measures the measures best calcu
lated to secure .. the greatest good to the
greatest number"—are we not all imperi
ously called upon by every considertaiun
that should prompt a patriotic and philan
thropic heart, to remember the price of
Liberty and pay it freely and Ally?—
Trusting the response will be a long, loud
universal AYE, we turn to a brief view of
the principles and measures of the two op.
posing parties now struggling for the as.
cendency.
But first let us renew our protestations
of regret and heart-felt sorrow for the loss
of that beloved and venerated man, Win.
Henry Harrison—whose death was death
to the . fair prospects and bright hopes that
gleamed upon us in the hour of his hi.
umph. His memory we cherish as the
memory of one that shall ne'er be forgot
ten. His unworthy and incompetent suc
cessor we pity.
Our opponents it is known to all are
the friends and supporters of the Federal
Veto power—the sovereignty of the Pa
ecutive—Previous Pardons—Direct an,
Onerous taxes—Low Wages—Worthless
Currency—Prodigality and rascality in
Public affairs. Their men in power have
ever been the enemies of the People; op.
pressing them with Taxes ead burdeniii,.
them with wrong and insult—they de
etroyed, :n the sad hour of their triumph,
the best currency that ever existed in any
country—they have sought to ruin the
Farmers. Mechanics and Laborers of di ,
country by throwing open our sea-ports to
the productions of the pauper labor of for
eign miatries--they have sought to estab
dish Standing Armies in time of Peace,
and to unite the sword and purse in th•
hands of the Executive; whtl.t the Horne
sonsen Democrats have ever stoutly r .
Isisted these measures, anti C3il:e wieti, an , '
ever will contend, for ,otind Democratic
principles, and gel iv; .', 'loilw crtels4i Cll.
I herd ore,
Resolved, That in again entering the
field of political contest, we do se in cup•
port of tho following articles, laid down
and adopted by the "Green Mountain)
r ßoys" at their late State Conrention. To
!wit:
1. A TA RIFF, not a " Judicious Tar
jiff," nor a simple " Revenue Tariff," but a
'sound and adequate Protective Tariff,
which will secure American Labor from
ruinous foreign competitions, encourage
the toil and enterprise of the Producer and
the Consumer, the Farmer, the Manufac
terer, the Mechanic, and render the United
States " what they of right ought to be,"
but what they otherwise cannot be," Free
and Independent States."
:1. The DISTRIBUTION, among the
several States to whom it belongs, of the
Proceeds of the Sales of the Public Lands.
S. The exercise of the constitutional
power, reposed in the Federal Govern
ment alone, to provide a " Uniform Cur
rency," by means of which exchanges
may be equalized, and the business anti
the commercial operations of the people
may be facilitated and protected.
4. That just ECONOMY in the ad
ministration of Government, both State
and Federal, which is demanded by the
spirit of our Republican institutions.
5. The absolute predominance of LAW
AND ORDER; and the redress of politi
cal grievances, whether real or imaginary,
only by their instrunsedtality.
6. One Presidential Term.
7. The alteration of the constitution by
a ',modi fi cation of the VETO POWER,
Iso as to protect the people from its abom
inable abuse, in the hands of misguided
ambition, whether exhibited in the sensi
bility of a paraded conscience, or of the
less questionable form of Executive re
sentment.
9. The freedom and purity of Elections.
10. To secure the separation of the
Purse and Sword—the Treasury under the
exclusive control of Congress.
And furthermore,
Resolved, That we are opposed to all
further increase of the Stute Debt, under
any pretext whatever.

1;c: onp!ovt• men ts.
That the critical situation of
our public affairs require, most imperious
ly, the selection of good, true, steady, hon
est, able men for Legislators, and that in
our opinion the candidates the Harrison
Democrats offer, are such.
Resolved, That S. MILES GREEN,
the nominee fur Congressman, is honest
and capable," and that we will cheerfully
field him our support—but regret that the
- Locofoco Anti-Tariffites are afraid to give
us a contest.
neßnlved, That wa ure nt
the nomination of the Hon. ROBERT
ELLIOTT of Perry county, as the Dem
ocratic Harrisonian candidate for Senator
from this Senatorial district; because he is
a PLAIN, PRAC TICAL, HARD WOR
KING FARMER, whose interests are in
exact unison with the interests of the toil
isg, tax-burdened and cppressed people--
whose honesty and Ltness is beyond ques
tion—whose principles accord with cur
own —whose ability to advocate and de
fend these principles, and the interests o f
his country and his constituents, is undis
puted—and whose firm, consistent, and
honorable political career shows him to be
a man of the right stamp. We pledge
him our united and zealous support.
Resolved, That in JONATHAN Mc-
WILLIAMS—the Spruce Creek Black
smith--we have an honest, hard working,
well informed, man—who is pledged to
support and vindicate the interests of the
" upper end"--who, being himself a la
borer will zealously support the interests
of the " toiling millions"—who is a good,
sound Democrat in principle and practice,
and that
" We will all to a man do all we can"
Ito ensure his election
Resolved, That in BRICK BLAIR the
Farmers of the county will have an able
and worthy . representative, who will at•
tend to their interests with strict fidelity
—who will be the true friend of Retrench
ment and Reform--who will oppose otter
loos and unjust taxation, and will support
such measures as will conduce to the
general prosperity of the country. We
pledge him our hearty support.
Resolved, That JAMES STEEL is too
good an Officer—too clever a man—too
(faithful a political friend--to be deteatei
t b o y b a e." apostate, and that .‘ he won't begin
Resolved, That JOHN REED is ditto,
I,n every particular, and that we give him
iur most hearty support.
Resolved, that ALEX. KNOX, JR. is
..inown to us all, and that we esteem him
.egitly and know him to be well qualified
o fill the office of Commissioner, and
therefore we pledge him our support.
Resolved, That JAS. SAXTON and
THOMAS E. ORBISON are worthy the
.pport of every Ilarrisonittn Democrat in
he county, and that we will give them
Pura " with a right good will."
Resolved, That time and events have
,tut fastened deeper in our minds the con
iiction of David R. Porter's moral and po
;tical depravity, and that we hold his
.igh handed conduct in granting previous
, ardons--pardoning convicted criminals l

Ar LsrAmoui CONSPIRACY DEFECTED !
Al TEMPTED OUTRAOY. 'PON THE ELEC
Tux FitAxerilia—Locoroco VILLANY
A most iniquitous scheme is now in opera
tion by the Locofocos to carry the city.—
They have brought voters from the surroun
ding districts, and from ether States, to re
main in the city to vote at the Election in
o:tober, under the atanagement of a late
employee of the General Government,
righteously rejected by the U. S. Senate.
:they have entered into a conspiracy a-
Igainst the elective rights of the honest
citizens of Philadelphia--they have de
liberately set about packing the wards
with imported voters to draw the voice of
the legal electors, the men who have their
property and their fixed residences among
us. A more infamous traud—a more
barefaced act of political villany--a more
atrocious attack upon the purity of the
elective franchise, has not been made
since the Locoloco magistrates of New
York discharged a jail full of criminals
from Blackwell's Island to vote at the
charter election,
NVe shall immediately lay before the
public the whole history of this infamous
attempt to carry the city by fraud and
outrage—we shall publish the name of the
leading conspirator, with the real names
of his accomplices—the amount paid to
each of them, and the source whence this
corruption fund is derived. Perjury,
black and infamous perjury, has already
I been committed by several of these im
ported voters. 'l'hey are marked men,
and every one will be prosecuted accor
ding to law. The leading conspirator,
the exscaptaia of the spies and traitors,
who has poisoned the mind ofJohn Tyler,
%ill be brought to the tribunals of justice,
with the evidence of his deeds before his
eyes. BEW ARE I BEWARE!
From the Hollidaysburg Register,
G. H. Jll , lFarlane , s Infidelity.
Ma. Eorrox--Through your politeness
in publishing my note calling on Mr. 0. R.
McFarlane for his opinion in regard to the
Divine Scriptures, I have received his re
ply in our paper of the 23 ult. It is em
phatic and to the point—just such a one
as might be expected from an open and
avoided infidel. He says in these words:
I protest against any political interfer
ence with my religious opinions."
1 here protest against wishing to know
any thing about his religious opinions;
because I have been credibly informed that
he entertains no religious opinions, but
openly and publicly denounces the Divine
Scriptures.
_ .
I li.. • nothinz further to say on this
subject. His reply determines my oppo
sition to him, because I cannot or will sot
vote fora man who will not declare him
self to believe in the Divine Scriptures :
Those who reverence their political party
more than their Gud may vote for him,
but I profess to reverence the latter the
most, and therefore cannot. E. L.
From the Hollidaysburg Register.
Ma. Joriss—l have noticed with much
surptise and astonishment the reply of
Mr. G. R. M'Farlane to the query of E.
L., concerning the Divine Scriptures.—
I must confess that ie is plainer on the
subject of infidelity than i expected he or
any man at this enlightened day would be,
when asking the people to vote for him.
If he should be elected after thus publish
ing his opinions it will be his right to urge
the passage of such laws as he ►nay please
in regard to the Divine worship, if indeed
he can hold his office under the constitu
tion of the state.
Some say that the people have no right
to inquire concerning a candidate's reli
gious opinions. Surely then those per.
SODS will not object to inquiry concerning
a man's opinions that are not religious.
It is such opinions which I object to. I
will take Mr. Mac. as he requests, that is:
"By Ids fruits ye shall judge him."
Ist. Ile has never been inside of any of
our many Churches on an occasion of Di
vine worship.
2d. He has openly and publicly used
the following sentiment: "The scrip
tures are nothing but a damned fable."
Holding these sentiments is doubtless
the reason why ho cannot look a man in
the face.

Convention fur training the Constitution
of Rhode Island is making very fair pro
gress. The two great questions of repre

that the Senate shall consist of thirty-one
members, one from each town, and the
House of seventy members, one fur
each sixteen hundred inhabitants, and one
for each fraction of over tine half that

Look to Your Tickets.
Our friends will do well to see that
their tickets are right before depositing
them. Spurious ones may be sent out to
deceive the unsuspecting. Let it he re-'
membered that the law is very specific as
to the labelling of the tickets fur Prothon
otary, 4-c. and for Register, &c. 'rho
former must be labelled Prothonotary,
Clerk of the Courts of Quarter Sessions
and Oyer and Terminer," and the latter
Regiter of Wills, Recorder of Deeds, and
Clerk of the Orphans' court. So that
there may be no mistaking the meaning of
what we say, we here insert the clause of
1 the law relating to the subject—" The
qualified electors of the county of Hunt
ingdon shall elect one person to fill the
offices of Prothonotary, Clerk of the
Courts of Quarter Sessions and Oyer and
Terminer; and one person to fill the offi
ces of Register of Wills, Recorder of
Deeds and Clerk of the Orphans' Court."
And the last section of the act relating to
the elections of Prothonotaries, Clerks,
Recorders and Registers is as follows :
Separate tickets shall be voted for each
office, or when there are more than one to
be held by one person, fur the offices,
under this act ; and each ticket shall des.
ignate, on the outside, the office or offices,
and on the inside, the name of the person
voted for to till such office or offices."
More Proof of the i➢umbug.
The Standard and Watchman offices '
are sending out the " Workingmen's"'
party or Humbug tickets, headed by Hen

for the Senate. The cloven foot sticks

What say the locos of liuntt ngtlon on
the subject ?
The Election.
Nest Tuesday will be a day big with
the fate of Pennsylvania. An election of
great importance is then to take place,
Two political parties, diametrically oppo
site in principles, are striving for the vic
tory. The one party are contending for
the good old Democratic measures unetur
which our country prospered and enjoyed
happiness; and the other is contending
for the new tangled doctrines of modem
Locofocoism, under the ascendency ei
which the affairs of the country have for
the last ten or twelve years been gradually
sunk into distress and ruin. On the one
side we see the advocates of a Protective
Tariff; of the distribution of the Public
Land fund; of a National Institution tip
furnish a sound, wholesome and uniforms
currency ; the opponents of our present
corrupt and profligate State Administra-
Lion, under which the citizens are bur.
tbened with oppressive taxation to keep
up pampered office holders and partisans.
And on the other side we find the advo
cates of the odious doctrines of Free Trade
and Low Wages; the enemies of Distri.
bution ; the opponents of measures calcu-
Irted to ensure a good and uniform cur•
rency ; and the advocates of the State
Administration, which is daily driving the
Government to ruin, while its Governor
and his bosom friends are engaged tin
"Lumber" speculations, and "talking
login."
The line of distinction being thee wide
ly drawn, there can be no mistaking i'.
Let all enroll themselves under the ban
ner of the one or the other of these parties.
The doctrines of the one, being unpopular
and anti-republican, the party are afraid
to avow and utter them openly. In many 11
places they conceal them from the people,
and resort to tricks and humbugs to carry
their point. Hence in this county, we
find our old enemy—•though put down timo
_ .
and again --like pirates, arrayed under A
false colors. Being afraid to rally openly
under the standard of Locofocoism, they
assume the name of Workingmen" and
work most industriously at the business of
party politics. Freemen of Hunting,lon
county! can you be led estray by such
barefaced deception, when great princh l ig
plea are at stake, and when the fate of the "1
Commonwealth may hang upon a aumat...
vornl Remember that we have a Start
Senator to elect this fall! Remember
that we have two Representatives to elect!
And remember, too, that this Senator and
these Representatives may make the ma
jority in one or the other or in both
branches of the Legislature either for or
against us, accordingly an we decide on
next Tuesday. And remember further,
that the next legislature must elect a 1 1
United Sates Senator, to serve for six.
years; and may INSTRUCT our Senators
and Represenatives in Congress to sup'
port or oppose particular measures of vital
importance to our welfare. The State
will be apportioned for members of the
Senate and House of Representatives;
and it the Lorofoco or Humbug party
gain a majority in the Legislature they
will Gerrymander the State so that we
cannot hope to have a fair representation
tor seven years to come. Bear these
things in mind when you go to the polls--
and if you wish to elect a Senator and Rep
resentatives who will consider the inter
ests of their constituents paramount to
party considerations, vete for ROBERT
ELLIOTT, BRICR BLAIR and JONATHAN
MC W =LAMS.
Otr Governor Porter refuses to sign the
Congressional Apportionment Bill be
cause it does net swallow optic Whig and
Antimatonic majority of this county in the
Lecofoco majority of the surrounding
counties! We want our friends to bear
this in mind on Tuesday next, when they
go to the polls. If they are in favor of
having their votes thus swallowed up, they
will vote for Henry C. Eyre, George
R. McFarlane and Thomas Mewl to
represent them in the next Legislature --
THEY will do any thing to carry out the
