THII TICKET.
The County Ticket formed by our friends on
Wednesday last is placed at the head of our edito
rial columns. It is a ticket that must succeed by
a large majority, as it meets with universal approba
tion, and is, in every point of view, unexceptionable.
The candidates for the Legislature, JONATHAN
MIVILLIAMS and Bares Buda, are the members
who represented this county so faithfully and effi
ciently during the last session. The former is an
industrious mechanic, and the latter a practical
farmer. They wore nominated by acclamation.
Joan F. Mitten, the candidate for Commission
er for Robert Nfoore's unexpired term, is a worthy
mechanic, and Melnes' Carxewre, the candidate
for the full term, also belongs to the "toiling mil
lions"—is a hard-fisted fanner ;—and both are men
who will make good Commissioners.
Cerritos Taxima, Esq., the nominee for Treasur
er, is a gentleman who is well qualified, both by
education and experience, to discharge the duties of
the office for which he is a candidate ; and as he
intends to retire from the practice of the law, if
circumstances permit, ho will have no other business
to interfere with that of the Treasury.
We are not personally acquainted with JACOB S.
MATTXIIN, the candidate for Auditor; but we leant
from others—friends and foes—that he is a gentle
man to whose hands the auditing of our county uf.
Lira may with safety be entrusted.
Along with this ticket give us but a good man fur
Congress, and honest and capable men for Canal
Commissioners, and we will make a clean sweep in
0 Old Huntingdon" to the tune of ONZ THOBBAND
and perhaps FIFTEEN HT/CORE.
New Papers.
Owing to some misunderstanding or disagree
meut between the stockholders of the " Democratic
rttondard," lately published at Hollidaysburg, that
paper has been discontinued, and in place of it two
new ones have sprung up--the ono called o Beacon
Lrowr," the Ist number of which appeared on Fri
day last ;—and the other assumes the namo of its
alma male—" DEMOCRATIC STANDARD," and the
Ist number is to be issued this week. •
Tho BEACON laster" has been received at this
office. It is of the size of the "Journal," and prin
ted with the same kind of type, and is, therefore, of
very respectable appearance. It is published by
Messrs. Tmugh and Boggs, of the old "Standard,"
and edited by Mr. George It. McFarlane, who dis
plays a high degree of editorial ability, so far as we
are capable of judging from the first number. The
" leader" infonns no that Buchanan first, Van Bu
ren second, Johnston third, Cass fourth, and Cal
houn fifth, is the choice of the " Beacon Light" for
President ; and it seems to declare in favor of the
Porter branch of the Locofoco party. We wish
the publishers and proprietor. success in petunia.
rk., (if we are allowed to step over lexicographers,)
but death to their politics.
The new " DEMOCRATIC STANDARD" is to bo the
organ of the Anti-Porter branch of the Locofoco
party in this county. Bo says the " Beacon Light."
IVc Khali% from further notice until the " Standard"
appears attd speaks for itself.
Locofoco Convention.
On Tuesday night of last week the Locofecos
held their County Convention in the Old Court
House. A crowd of spectators "without distine.
tion of party" assembled to hear the " sayings" and
see the " doings" of this select and august body of
men; and certainly their "sayings and doings"
were a rich treat to all present.
The Convention was organized by calling Mr.
Cuanza! PORTER to the chair and appointing Ran.
dall Alexander and James ,'Mullen, Esgre. Vice
Presidents, and John M. Gibbony, Esq. and Joseph
Jones, Secretaries.
The several townships and boroughs were then
called, when delegates appeared and exhibited their
credentials. Some of the townships had not held
elections, and motions were made to supply the va
cancies by admitting citizens of the respective town
ship—many being in the crowd. After considera
ble confusion and promiscuous talking, these motions
were not agreed to. Other townships sent double
sets of delegates, and questions arose as to their
rights to seats. His Honor, Judge Adams, seemed
to rise up above all competitor., as a peacemaker,"
and carried the honor of settling these disputes.—
After the delegates were fully ascertained, several
who had participated in the proceedings thus far,
and even one or two of the officers, were ejected
from the Convention, on the ground that they were
not elected agreeably to the customs and usages of
the party. A committee of eleven was then ap
pointed to select conferees and delegates. This
committee retired, and remained out till about 11
o'clock when they returned into the Convention
with the names of Congressional conferees favorable
to Dr. Gemmill of Alexandria, and delegates to the
Canal Commissioners Convention thought to bo op
posed to the present Board. We had left the house
before the committee came in, and can therefore not
speak of the subsequent proceedings from personal
observation; but we are informed that when the
committee came in and reported, a motion was made
that all the delegates adhering to Porter withdraw
from the Convention, whereupon 2adelegates with
drew, leaving the Anti-Porter delegates, who were
a small majority, to form a ticket themselves.—
Those who seceded endeavored to break up the
Convention. The Court House bell was tolled,
accompanied with a cry of fire. In the house threats
were made to dash out the lights and to drag the
President from the chair, and other riotous and me
nacing language was used. When the nominations
for Assembly were progressing, one nominated
John Marshal" (a celebrated horse) whose keeper
wee present, and who in return nominated Miss
and a trip to the West." When a seditious move
ment was made in one part of the house, a person in
another part sung out—" never mind them' Wes
tern rioters—put 'em out, put 'em out." This kind
of conduct however was confined to a few, and
caused shame on the part of many who wished to
act with decency and in order,
A Ticket was formed, which is given in another
column.
The 23 delegates who seceded went to Wallace's
•
meet on next morning. On Wednesday morning
they met at the Old Court House, and organized l;
appointing Joseph Jones President, James Short.
hill and It P. Hazlett Vice Presidents, and Charles
M'Murtrie Secretary, after which they signed a
" proems," as the learned l'resident called it, which
is published as an " Address to the Democratic
Citizens of Huntingdon County," setting forth their
grievant 13 i at length.
The following resolutions were offered and unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That whereas at the Delegate meeting
last evening, several of the townships were not rep
resented, and several delegates justly entitled to their
seats unjustly rejected, by reason whereof the pro
ceedings of the meeting could not represent the
wishes of the Democracy of the county ; therefore,
Resolved, That the meeting adjourn, and that it
be and is hereby recommended to the Democratic
citizens of the different townships and boroughs to
hold meetings and elect delegates to represent the
democratic citizens of the county in general dele
- gate meeting, to select conferees and form a ticket,
etc.
On motion of Wm. McNitt, Esq.,
-
Resolved, That this meeting recommend Sant
day, the 26th inst. as the time for holding the town
ship and borough meetings to appoint delegates to
meet in County Convention on Tuesday the 29th
inst.
ACPALINO Servant:co.—The Florida correspon
dent of the Savannah Republican gives the follow
ing account of a distressing circumstance :—" The
father of a family, consisting of a wife and two sons,
in the vicinity of Alligator, was taken sick, and dur
ing his illness, there being no food in the house,
the wife took the gun for the purpose of procuring
game. Having wandered out of the way she got
list, and after three days' solitary adventure in the
wilderness, she at last, weary• and sick, found her
home, and her husband a corpse.
She sent her eldest boy to the house of a neighbor,
some seven or eight miles otT for assistance. After
his arrival under the friendly roof, through previous
sickness and present excitement beyond hie years,
he also became ill, and before he could toll his tale,
died. A few days afterwards, the house wee visited,
when, alongside of the father was found the dead
bodies of his wife and remaining son. The tale is
short, but true. They all had perished through
starvation.
"Working-men"---The Unmbug.
In the Locofoco Convention last week it surpri
sed some, though it seemed not strange to us, that
many of the " working-men" (Locos) of '4 land '42
appeared there as delegates of a "political party,"
knowing that but a year ago they were bitterly op
pond to ♦LL PAUTI6I-. Democratic," Whig, La
cofoco, Anti-Masonic, and all others, save and ex
cept only the great " Working-men's Society for
the prevention of corruption in polities," whose
founders and defenders they proclaimed themselves
to be. Two years ago they cast off the name of
Democracy as corrupt and defiling, and now they
sneakingly travel back to the place whore they cast
itoff, and pick it up nein as the real Simon Pure.
Oh Consistency! thou art a jewtl."
az:Oulu—ruin—ruin, for nearly u week past.
August Sessions,
The Court, last week, was numerously attended,
and much criminal business was despatched on
Tuesday and Wednesday, on the latter of which
days the Grand Jurors were discharged, and the re
mainder of that day was occupied by arguments,
motions, &c. Below we give a synopsis of some of
the most important of the Sessions business.
Commonwealth vs. John Smith. In this case
the " John Smith" was indicted for stealing a bay
horse—the property of the Pioneer Packet Boat and
Stage Company--from their stable in Prankstown
township. The grand jury found a "true bill," to
which the defendant -plead "guilty." After the
Court had heard the facts and circumstances of the
case, John was sentenced to pay a fine of $l,OO and
the costs of prosecution—restore the property stolen
if not already done—and undergo an imprisonment
in the Western penitentiary for a term of two years,
to be fed and clothed as the law directs. Counsel
—E. V. EVERHART, Deputy Attorney General, and
A. P. Witsox for the Commonwealth, and T. P.
CAMPBELL for the defendant.
Com' Ih vs. Solomon and David Stahlman. The
indictment charged the defendants with stealing a
grey mare or filly, the property of John Jameson.
The grand jury returned the bill " ignoramus." The
facts of the case, as we learned them out of Court
were, that Jameson, the prosecutor, bought the mare
from the defendants, prom; iing that if he did not pay
for her at a time fixed, they, the defendants, might
have her again. On failure to pay as stipulated, the
defendants went to the premises of the prosecutor,
and took the mare. Hence the indictment, which has
cost the county 00,00. Counsel—Dep. Atty. Gen.
EVERHART for the Cotn'th, and .1. G. MILES and
D. Bum for the defendants.
Com'th vs. Peter Colehet. The defendant, who
is a German and has been in this country only
since last October, was indicted for larceny—the
stealing of a spade, a vinegar keg, a feed trough and
an iron pan, the property of Philip Seosoltz. The
grand jury returned a " true bill." The defendant
denied the charges. Verdict—. guilty." Tile sen
tence of the Court was, that the defendani pay a
fine of $l,OO and costs of prosecution—return the
goods stolen if not already done—and be confined
in the Western penitentiary six months. Counsel
—Dept. Aty. Gen. EVERHART and It. A. McMint-
Title for the Com'th, and T. D. Camera for the
defendant.
Com'th vs. Lenard McManamy. Indictment
for assault and battery on the person of Catherine
Berry, with intent to ravish. The grand jury
found a " true bill." The defendant having esca
ped from the constable and not been retaken, the
case was continued till next Sessions.
Com'th vs. William Groves, Sen. Indictment
for misdemeanor—tho defendant being charged With
contriving to impede the course of law and wresting
the above named Bernard McManamy from justice
by assisting him to escape, from the custody of the
law. This indictment was founded on a present
ment of the grand jury. True bill." The defen
dant not being arrested, the case was continued to
n 'Porg - Ts. criaron Merle!. Indictment for
keeping a o tippling house." True bill." Con
tinued by consent.
Com'th ve. Peter Colehet. Indictment for lar
ceny. The defendant was charged with stealiitg
two beef hides, the property of Elizabeth Longe
necker, in Gaysport. True bill." Plea— , at

of the Court—that the defendant pay a fine of $l. , 0
and costs of prosecution, and be confined in o
Western Penitentiary for six months. Couns
Dep. Atty. Gen. EVERHART and R. A. McM •
TIIIE for the Commonwealth, and T. H. Cars a
for the defendant.
Com'th va. Peter Pool. Indictment for keepligg
a " tippling house" in Tyrone township. The grsid
jury returned a "true bill." The defendant ples4
"not guilty." The indictment charged the defar
dant with selling and delivering to sundry persons
" divers quantities of rum, wine, brandy, pr o
whiskey and other vinous and spirtuoua liquors
by leas measure than one quart each" &c. Nee*
diet— , guilty." Sentence of the Court—tbat the
defendant pay a fine of $40,00 and costa of proseci
tion, and be in custody till the sentence is complied
with. Counsel—Dep. Atty. Gen. EVERHART, D.
BLAIR and A. Gwin for the Commonwealth, and
J. G. MiLza and A. P. WILSON for the defendant.
There were also four or five assault and battery
cases brought before the Court and disposed of.
And a certain Miss brought a baby—a tine
little boy from Democratic Barren—into Court "in
search of its father ;" whereupon the grand jury )
took the matter into hand and soon found the child j
a father in the person of a Mr.--, yeoman, of
Huntingdon county.
Trouble in the "Wigwam."
It would seem that the great " Kickapoo" cannot
keep peace in his " wigwam" in this county, al
though on the spot to give the word of command.
On Tuesday night, last week, a majority of the
tribe" deserted the "chief." "Shoot the deur
ters !" says the . login."
Zoe /Smith Resigned.
The Alton Telegraph of the ith inst. says:-
OWe learn from good authority that the Prophet
has surrendered his °nice, and anointed his brother."
ccyl'he Wheat crop in Canada is said to be
very fine.
(0. Bowden, the Clerk, on trial at Washington
City, charged with abstracting cancelled Treasury
Notes from the Treasury Department, has been
acquitted.
(0- Countcrfoit one and two dollar notes on the
Miners' Bank of Pottsville, are now in circulation.
ef A duel was fought at Augusta, Ga., on the

After the first fire, the difficulty between the parties

burg and George W. IVhittalcer

Whereupon, on motion of T. IL Cremer, Esq.

The committee consisted of the following gentle
men—T. H. Cremer, Joseph Higgins, David H.
Moore, Maj. D. M'Murtrie, Geo. W. Smith, Jon.
*an Hamilton, J. Walker, A. B. Crewit, Wm. L.
"pear, Jacob Gherrett, David Stever, William
Hutchison and Armstrong Crawford.
The committee having withdrawn, on motion, A.
F. Brassier, Esq. addressed the meeting in an
teresting and argumentative manner; after which
a committee reported the following preamble and
solutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas the history of our State administration
r the lost five years is but a tale of gross and re
:awl injuries inflicted upon the interests of the
vple--their wishes, fully and fairly expressed, hay
,glean neglected—their oft reiterated prayers and
etillona for relief having been answered only with
eeeftful promises and violated pledges of party po
'tickets and political aspirants: and whereas the
a
~ohave borne these wrongs until forbearance has
r. to be a virtue—the mal-adininistration of
;or " went having brought distress and ruin upon
wad:tens who are daily suffering under a system
4 hex : and unjust taxation for the solo purpose of
6. , Ting up in affluence a horde of political vampires
,lo are already grasping at the privileges and im
„ales of an aristocracy, with which they would
sivest theinselvee, while the Commonwealth is daily
idle/ deeper and yet deeper into debt and dis.
rear Therefore
lloseirsd—That it is the duty of the freemen of
Pennsylvania to turn out, en masse, on the 2nd
Today in October next to change their rulers so
fu as it can legally he effected tltrough the medium
o f tho bullet box on that day.
Rethed—That we now respond to the Demo
esak Harrison Ticket this day nominated, and that
~e r icdge ourselves that the people will, on the day
of the general election, ratify said nominations by
a' lent 1000 majority.
Rivlese/—That we henitily approve of the able
nna l'em"ring efforts of Oen. JAM. Invite, our
late rontaen!ative in Congress, to have established
s i , 3 iffatbasts, a TARIFF FOR PROTECTION
I—the It and the livelihood of the industrious,
toiling multitude throughout the country, and upon
which essentially depend the prosperity and happi
ness of the district he has so faithfully represented.
Resolved—That we, as a party, avow ^ ourselves
the advocates of a PROTECTIVE Tauirr —the only
measure which can secure American industry from
foreign competition, and justly reward the labor of
the Farmer, the Manufacturer and the Mechanic.
Resolved--That a sound and uniform national
currency—after perpetuating the tariff act of the
late Congress—is all that is wanting to restore pros
perity and happiness once more to our country.
Resolved—That there is a system of corruption
boldly and unblushingly practiced by our present
state administration,—not only in the management
of the public works, but in other departments of the
government, and especially the executive,—which
calls loudly for correction by the people ;—a system
which cannot long be tolerated without leading to
the total subversion of law and order, and destroy
ing the cccurity which government, faithfully ad
to'nistered extends, to our dearest personal rights.
leefolved—That, as the people hold the corrective
in their own hands, this corrupt and alarming state of
things, can only continue through culpable indiffer
ence, to that which should arouse and startle every
patriot; and that every man, however humble his
position in the community, owes it to his country and
should feel it to be a solemn duty, a matter of con
science, to turn out to the polls, and give his hearty
aid in the annihilation of • "iniquity in high places."
. .
Moore
.Resolved—That An we kneio l)avid R. Porter in
1838 so we know him still; and it is a source of
some small gratification to the people of this county,
to sec, that many of those who then doubted but
still feared that we knew him too well, have since
" LEASNED TO KNOW nix," and are now willing to
give their testimony of the fact.
Resolved—That we have not been disappointed
either in the man or his measures—knowing him
to be selfish, venal, and unprincipled—one who so
cured the end regardless of the means—neither his
" Indian talks" with the Broad feel tribe—his spec
ulations in Lumber"—the profitable tn-vestment
of his new coat pocket—his getting into the "tight
place" with the State Printers—nor his trade and
traffic with " Tyler too" excite anything else, in
our minds, but astonishment, that lIE should adopt
such shallow pretences to cover, or attempt to con
ceal his real character.
Resolved—That in his administration we have an
apt illustration of the truth of that old adage 4, Like
master like man"—and while the Old Chief is at
Harrisburg, "moccasin tracks" can he found on all
parts of our Public Improvements.
Resolved—That it is apparent to all reflecting
minds that the only means of securing to Pennsyl
vania, any revenue from her Rail Roads and Canals,
lie the selection of Canal Commissioners from and
making them responsible to the People, and if the
People would desire to be kept out of a ' , tight
place" as it regards taxation we would earnestly
call on them to seek for those to fill those important
offices, front among themselves.
The preamble and resolutions having been read
and adopted, GEORG E TAT ton, Esq. was called upon
to address the meeting, who responded to the call in a
brief though neat, pertinent, and forcible speech,
which was listened to with attention, and received
by the meeting with evident satisfaction and op
,' plause.
On motion, it was
- - - •
Resolved--:That the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the officers, and published in the Hun
tingdon Journal, the Hollidaysburg Register, the
Telegraph and Intelligencer at Harrisburg, and all
other papers friendly to the cause.
