Harrison Democrats, if you wish to vote at tht: next election, you must be assessed 10 days before the day of election. SATURDAY TIIE :30th OF attend to it in time, Declination of Mr. Borland, Isaac DottLAND, who was nominated for Treas urer by the Porter branch of the Locofxo party, has declined the honor of being a candidate. In a note to the publishers of the Hollidaysburg Beacon Light, under date of the sth September, Mr. Dorland says o I , perhupp, ought to be under obligations to those who brought about the arrangement; but us I have already experienced the bad effects of being consid ered a partisan candidate, I must decline the honor intended, and request you to withdraw my name.— Should I ever appear before the public as a candi date for any office, it shall be on my own footing." " Ettocked Under." The Beacon Light has at last knocked under to the Standard and Anti•Porteritcs, and hoisted the "regularly nominated Democratic (late Working. [for Porter].mens') Ticket," headed by Thomas P. Campbell and Edward Dell, Esquires. The Porter Ticket, headed by William McKnitt and Edward Bell must, therefore, depend solely on the Vice-hol ders—who are not quite as numerous as their brcthern, the officewekers—for support. Vermont Election. " That Same Old Coon" is still alive in Vermont. The election for Governor is over, and the " Green Mountain Boys" have again covered themselves with glory. The returns in 140 towns, as far as heard from, give Mattocks (Whig) nearly 4000 ma jority over Kellog, (Locofoco.) Ist Congressional District. EDWARD Joy Moan IS, Esq., has been nominated for Congress by the Whigs of the Ist District, com posed of Southwark, Moyamensing, and Passyunk, and Cedar Ward and New Marl. 4 Ward, of the city of Philadelphia. Cumberland County. The Whigs of Cumberland met in County Con. vention, last week, and resolved not to nominate any candidates for the present contest. _ . _ Judge Black, a Porterite, of Perry county, and Judge Miller, an Anti Porterite, of Cumberland, are the candidates for Congress. The Whigs will vote for the latter who is and always has been a Tariff 1113111. Freshet. The continued heavy rains which hod been fall ing for a week or ten days past, raised the Juniata river to an unusnal height on Friday and Saturday last. It is said the Raystown Branch has not been so higli since 1810. A breach in the Canal, of perhaps 1.50 feet, oc curred two or three miles below this place. The Stage' and Packets wore delayed, the water being up over the turnpike in Jack's Narrows. We arc informed that considerable damage has been storeicd on the Rartown Dvanch of the Ju niata. Xlection of Canal Commissioners-- The People want a Change, After all the fighting and wrangling that was carried on between the Porter and the Anti-Porter factions of the Locofocos—. Lumbermen," " Kick spoor," " Winncbagoes" and all—they have at length partially buried the tomahawk and scalping knife and are now smoking the calumet of peace, in order to make a death fight against the " universal Whig party" on the second Tuesday in October.— Having met in State Convention, and nominated a ticket for Canal Commissioners, composed of men who have all been tried and proved expert PLUN DERERS, they have dropped the quarrel and fight among themselves for the present, and united upon the nominees, satisfied that if elected, the same sys tem of plunder which has been carried on by the present Board and which has sunk them deeply in the estimation of all honest men, will be continued. The office holders and office seekers have combined to perpetuate this system of plunder. But the people, the honest and untrammelled of all parties, are determined that there shall be a change ;—that the revenue raised on our rail roads and canals shall no longer be squandered among office holders and favorites of the "Royal Family," hut shall be op plied to the payment of the debts of poor, bleeding, tax-ridden Pennsylvania. The following plain and truthful statement from the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, shows the great ne cessity of the change for which the people are con tending. *360 1 595 98 ! Is the amount of EXPENDITURES ovsn RE CEIPTS on the finished lines of the I'ublie works of Pennsylvania in 1839-40, when JAMES CLARK, of Indiana, was President of the Board of Canal Commiss , 'oners whilst the year before, under an honest administration of the public affairs, the same Public works yielded a REVENUE to the State, over and above all expenses, of $354,180 17 I! The difference of expenditures between these two years, was thus $ VaaU 9 tMa)o. 4d3 2 2 2 Here was the enormous sum of upwards of SE VEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS lost to the State in a single year, by the misman agement of the public officers, or by the outrageous system of WHOLESALE PLUNDER practiced by those officers on the Public works. This sum properly appropriated, would have been sufficient to have paid nearly the half of the interest of the Public Debt, and relieved the people of one year's taxation. It cannot be pretended for a moment that this enormous expenditure was necessary to carry on the works. It is clear that the money was squan dered upon political favorites as a reward for parti zan services. Now the question is an interesting one to the people of Pennsylvania at this time—under whose who is now the Locofoco candidate for the same office, WAS THEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD 7 ommiB9toltEns What confidence can the people have in the abil ity or integrity of a public officer under whose ad ministration of the public works such astounding corruption and plunder was permitted I Will they —can they reinstate him in the same office, to re. vive perhaps, the same system again, at a time when the Commonwealth is bleeding at every pore, and when every dollar of public revenue ought to be carefully husbanded and appropriated to the pay. ment of the interest due to the innocent and suffer- Mg holders of her State bonds, her Domestic credi tors, and the poor, but honest laborers who have toiled in her service, and have been cheated by her dishonest agents? We greatly mistake the feelings and temper of the people of Pennsylvania on this subject, if they do. They want a change in she management of affairs on the Public Improvements -A THOROUGH •ND RADICAL CHARGE. For this purpose they have taken the appointment of the Commissioners from the Governor, and resolved to take it into their own hands. The Locofbco party, however, any, to the people now— , 4 the old qfficers are good enough—they know best how to manage the Improvements FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY, and you must elect such men. CLARK and FOSTER have both had experience on the public works, and they always tnanaged things admirably FOR THE PARTY !" But will the people submit to this party dicta tion? No! The election of Clark and Foster would defeat the very object they had in view in making the Commissioners elective. They desired by that act to take the management of the Improve ments out of the hands of the old officers, and place them in the hands of NEW MEN—men who are entirely disconnected from the rotten, crum bling administration of David R. Porter. This they can accomplish by voting for the men placed on the Democratic Whig Ticket. Elect TWEED, GUILFORD and WEAVER, and you will have a Board of Commissioners composed of NEW max - -CAPABLE AND HONEST MEN—who will conduct the business entrusted to their hands FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE STATE, and not solely for the benefit of a pnrty. YORK COUNTY. The Locofocos of York county have nominated the following Ticket: Congress—Dr. Alexander Small. Senior—Adam Ebaugh. Assembly—W. S. Picking, Samuel N. Dailey, Stephen M'Kinley. Commissioner—Thomas Kerr. 7Feasurer—John M'C urdy. Director—Peter Peters. Auditor—Jabob P. Crone. The Whigs will make no nominations, but will probably cast their votes for Dr. Hzsar Naas, a volunteer candidate for Congress. cc," Pilgrim Presidents and Travelling Cabi neta"—Moet of the members of Tyler'.
