Our Candidate for Congress.
By a reference to the proceedings of the Whig
Congressional Conference, in another column, it
will be seen that honest JOHN BLANCHARD,
of Centre county, has been nominated by acclama
tion, for Congress.
No man in the four counties composing this (the
17th) Congressional District is more deserving of
the nomination than is Mr. Blanchard. All his life
ho has been a firm,-zealous, unfaltering Whig. He
has grown grey in the service of the Whig party,
and in the advocacy of those measures and princi
ples for which we as a party contend in the present
contest. No matter how signal our defeat—how
ever disheartened our farces and gloomy our pros
pects, ho never sheathed his sword of Truth—his
voice never faltered; but Spartan-like, he dealt out
severer blows—his rallying cry growing louder,
until at last our noble banner waved in glorious
triumph over the prostrate cohorts of Locofocoism.
Blanchard is extensively known in this dis
trict, and whoever knows him also knows that he
has strong claims upon the Whig party, and it is,
therefore, a source of common gratification to the
party that an opportunity is at last afforded to re
ward him in some degree for the valuable services
which he has rendered. Through a long life at the
Bar, he Imp so conducted himself that the enviable
title of 0 honest John" has been bestowed upon him
by his acquaintances.
Mr. Blanchard is now the Whig candidate of
this Congressional District. Let but the Whigs—
the true friends of the Tariff and Distribution go to
the polls on the second Tuesday of October and do
their duty, and 0 honest John" will be elected by
such a majority as will astonish both friends and
foes; and our word for it, as a representative, he
will be found not only honest, but also faithful and
true to the interests of his constituents.
Mr. Polk's Letter to Mr. sane,
On the fourth page of to-day's paper we again
publish Mr. Polk's revenue Tariff letter, ILLUS
TRATED by extracts from Mr. Polk's " public
acts" and "public discussions," &c. We b es p ea k
for it an attentive perusal by our roasters; and we
commend it to stump orators as a useful document.

s2o.The Hon W. S. Fulton, Senator of the Uni-
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
tea States from Arkansas, died at Rosewood, his The special convention of the Episcopal Church
residence, about a mile front Little Rock, on the of the diocese of Pennsylvania assembled on Thurs.
15th ult. I dey evening last, in St. Andrew's Church. This

NOT TRUE,
The ...Journal" of last week, designates the
.. Globe" ~ a rank loco foco paper" as " the organ
of the 'mongrel' disorganizers.."
Our neighbor knew that ho was falsely accusing
us, and did it to help himself out of a dilemma.—
The
"Globe" is, and shall be devoted to the inter
ests and well being of the people and the democrat
ic party,—it is not, nor never will be the .. organ"
of any faction, and we trust it shall ever be the
friend of the whole people ; and if any of the peo
ple should think themselves aggrieved, we shall pub
lish their proceedings, provided they are couched in
decorous language. The resolves of public load
ings, and communications from respectable quarters,
when grievances are desired to be redressed, shall
find in our paper on insertion. And the editor
who refuses may prate about independence but his
conduct will belie his professions.—lluntingdon
Globe of last week.
So the " Globe" backs out, to save its credit; and
then talks prettily about being the "friend of the
whole people," and the openness of its columns for
the reception of "the resolves of public meetings,
and communications from respectable quarters, when
grievances aro desired to be redressed" &c. All
this sounds very well ; but we suppose many of the
readers of the " Globe" still remember the efforts of
that paper to " STIFLE the voice of the represen
tatives of the people" as " Barree" complained in
our paper of the 7th of February last, when the
" Globe," which now boasts of being the " friend
of the whole people"—Whigs, Locofocos, Mon
grels and all—suppressed the doings of the "dem
ocratic" Convention to appoint delegates to the hth
of March Convention, notwithstanding it had
pledged itself in its opening address "to uphold the
delegate system" and to sustain all "its regular
nominations." The secret of that movement was,
that the "Globe" felt anti-Porter-ish and favored
Sorsa, and the Porter faction overpowered the op
position and elected Muhlenberg delegates. The
Globe kept this dark—perhaps it did not consider it
as coming from a "respectable quarter."
Truly the " Globe" has become very hypocritical
—its practice too often belies its precepts.
Locofoco Candidate for Congress.
The Locofoco Conferees of this Congressional
District have nominated Dr. JOSEPII HENDERSON,
of Mifflin county. We have been informed that
during a number of ballots Dr. Henderson had 7
votes and Gen. Wilson, of Huntingdon, 7. Final
ly one of the Wilson Conferees went over to Hen
derson.
KEEP IT BEFORE 'I HE PEOPLE,
That Henry Clay is one of the most corrupt and
IMMORAL men that ever asked a high and exalted
station in the Government, and that it would be
placing us below the meanest and moat degraded
government on the face of the earth to place him in
that high station.—Hunt. Globe of last week.
So says Mr. Lewis G. Mytinger who, if ho tells
the truth, knows about as much concerning Henry
Clay as does an unfledged poke.
Now hear what a neighbor of Mr. Clay—the
venerated and distinguished Beacom soya on this
subject :
"I know the charges against the private charac
ter of Mr. Cloy to be tryrsar and BASELY fake.
* • • • • In view of the oaninstur
ac-
CREOITED PRINCIPLES OP 0000 MORAL unenstrEu,
no charges can be brought against him without
violating the obligations of TRUTH and sound
JUSTICE."
AN UNPALATABLE TRUTH TOLD IN A
MISTAKE.
We have heard that one of the speakers from this
place, while addressing the late Locofoco Mass
Meeting in Hollidaysburg, engaged in an elaborate
discussion of the extent, progress, and origin of the
Whigs, and unwittingly traced them as far back as
the American Revolution, when it suddenly flashed
upon his mind that there were but two parties in
that trying period—WHlGS and TORIES, and
that he was on the wrong side. He discovered the
1 ugliness of his position ; and, scratching his head
a moment, in perplexity, exclaimed, I don't mean
the Whigs of the present day! Of course the
speaker and his political friends were chagrined and
mortified, w bile the Whigs present enjoyed a hearty
I laugh.
c - Some one of the "mongrels," or a Locofocu
ally, is making mouths at tho "Huntingdon Jour
nal" and the Whig candidate for Sheriff, in order
to show, we suppose, that the " mongrel" party is
not altogether annihilated.
If the editor of the Beacon Light" knows
what his correspondent, "Revenue Cutter," means
in his article which to us is " as clear as mud," he
is wiser than his neighbors.
Do tell, George ; and also inform your readers
whether you are the Organ par-excelknce—of the
"mongrels," since the " Globe" has backed out.
The Whigs of Centre county have nomina
ted Co! William Murray for Assembly. And the
Locofocos have nominated Col. James Burnside.
o:•The Locofocos of Clinton county have nomi
nated William Dunn for Congress, and Col. John
Smith for Assembly.
oz)- There is a little '.grease spot" of Jacob
Crestvell's " Mongrel" " Working" party left yet.

R. MTarlane's sheet !

DORRITES IN RHODE ISLAND.
The Supreme Court met at Newport last Tues
day, and adjourned on Thursday. But little busi
ness was transacted, and no jury cases were tried.
Dutee J. Pearce and Daniel Brown, who were un
der indictment for violation of the act in relation to
offences against the sovereign power of the State,
took the oath of allegiance in open Court, as pre
scribed in the act of amnesty. These were the only
indictments pending in the Court. We presume
that the persons under indictment in this county
will also take the oath.—No ono but Dorr has ever
objected to so reasonable a requisition.—Providence
Journal, Sept. 2.
PASS ROUND MS NAME.
A young sailor of Brooklyn, as we learn from
the Advertiser of that city, displayed to singular
advantage the proverbial courage and daring of his
class, at a fire on Sunday evening. " While the
house occupied by Mt. Haynes was wrapped in
flames, and all the communication with it appa
rently cut off by the burning stables and buildings
by which it was surrounded, the screams of a child
were heard proceeding from the upper story of the
house. The crowd seemed paralized with horror
as the difficulties of approaching presented them
selves, and the piteous shrieks of the child rang
louder and louder upon the car. The cries of the
child, thank God, were not heard in vain: they
rang an alarm in the heart of the young sailor, and
every generous emotion was awakened. Spring
ing forward, the noble fellow dashed through the
flames, mounted the burning stair case, and in a
few moments the loud cheers of the admiring crowd
proclaimed that the child and deliveter were both
safe. His namo is EDWARD GUNNING! Pass it
through the country, so that should he ever get
into difficulty, or need a friend, the noble Get re
corded above may rise up, and like the voice of an
angel advocate, plead in his behalf.
SAD DOINGS IN TEXAS.
The New Orleans Picayune of the 22nd ult.
says that there are rumors of bloody doings in
Shelby and Harrison counties, Texas, near tho
Louisiana line. Tho "Moderators" and "Regu
lators," as they term themselves, are arrayed against
each other, and number about two hundred each.
Several have been killed, houses burned and plan
tations destroyed. This is truly a horrible state of
things. We also learn, verbally, that one Davis,
the louder of the " Regulators,' has been shot, with
twelve or fifteen others. It is further stated, that
General Hen3erson was about to leave Shreeveport
to use his influence to bring about an arrangement
of the difficulties.
Our private advices from the Texan seat of gov
ernment, says the New York Sun, announce the
arrival there, near the end of July, of despatches
from Mexico, the nature of which had not transpir
ed. Some said they contained a formal and final
call upon the Department of Texas" to acknowl
edge Mexican sovereignty, and send representatives
to the National Congress; others, that a private bar
gain was going on between President Sam Houston
and President Santa Anna, by which Texas was
to obtain an acknowledgement of her independence
from Santa Anna, on condition that she made a fa
vorable commercial treaty with England, abolish
slavery, and agree to pay an indemnity of twelve
millions to Mexico. The excitement in relation to
these despatches was daily increasing. The very
secret manner in which President Houston was con
ducting the negotiations had aroused suspicions as
to his integrity, and arrangements had been made
to intercept the return messenger, break open the
despatches and publish their contents is the Texan
newspapers.
A SNAKE STORY
A correspondent of the New York Sun says that
a female snake, measuring about four feet in length,
was captured in the vicinity of Patterson, New Jer
sey, on Wednesday last, together with twenty-three
young ones, each about ten inches long. When
first discovered, the young ones were playing
around the soother, but on the latter being assailed
she opened her mouth and they darted down her
throat wish the rapidity of lightning. She then
gave battle in earnest attacking her assailant with
great fury, keeping him at bay for some minutes,
but she had to bite the dust. Tho young ones
were taken out alive. The body of the old one was
dark brown, and the eyes pale Ulm."
A Miserable Concern
Twelve or thirteen" Mongrel" delegates met
in wanly convention, in the Old Court House,
yesterday afternoon, and nominated the following
ticket.
Sheriff—Nathaniel Lytle. of Franklin tp.
Assembly—Jacob Cresswell, Huntingdon,
Thomas Johnston, Canoe Creek.
Conanissintier—John Bumhaugh, Huntingdon.
Auditor—James Dysart, Franklin tp.
Messrs. Lytle, Johnston and Dysart will probably
accept the doubtful honor of such a nonlina
lion.
A Screw Loose.
On 'Wednesday last, at about 10 o'clock, we re
ceived a letter front Mr. Joan If orryr, relative to
the disorganizing movements of the ~M ongrels,"
which letter we published, at the request of Mr. 11.,
in as many of last week's papers as were unprinted
at that lime—about 200 copies. Afterwards the
publication of it was countermanded, and therefore
it is omitted in to.day's paper. In said letter Mr.
Huyett used the following patriotic language.
*
" "I have under
stood that my name has been used in con
nection with others, in giving effect to a
spirit of disorganization in the Whig and
Antitnasonic party of this county. I was
no applicant for (Ace at the late County
Convention, neither am I at this time.
" " " I have no doubt hut that
there was some dissatisfaction at some of the
nominations of the late County Convention,
as there always is by those who wish place
and do not succeed. So far as lam ac•
quainted with the candidates, now before
the Whig and Antimasonic party, they are
all good men anetrue ; and so far as my
support can aid in their election, each of
the candidates shall have it.
I would therefore recommend to every
Whig and Antimason in the county, who
has one spark of patriotism, or any feeling
for the distressed millions of our ccuntry to
lay aside all prtjudices at this time and act
for the general good.
Frightful explosion and Loss of Life.
Office of the Reading Democratic Press
Tuesday morning, 5 o'clock, Sept. 3,1844. '2. 5
FOUR MEN KILLED—BURSTING OF A
BOILER ON THE READING & POTTS
VILLE RAILROAD.
Wo are again called upon to record one of the I
most frightful accidents that ever occurred upon
this road. The boiler of the engine bursted last
night at 9 o'clock, about 2 miles from Reading, in
stantly killing Joseph Ward, Engineer, Jas. M'Cabe,
Conductor, John Tye and Peter Mahan, Firemen,
whose lifeless bodies were found several hours after,
in a frightful state of mutilation in a field near by,
in which lay also the boiler, which had been torn
from the wheels with irresistible force, and hurled
from the bed and wheels of the engine, which were
entirely demolished.
The watch in Mr. M'Cabe's pocket was found to
have stopped at 20 minutes after 9, and from this
circumstance this accident must have occurred at
•,
that hour last night.
At the time of the accident the train was under
full headway, and the explosion must have been
instantaneous as it was fatal. It was raining in
abundance, and vivid flashes of lightning were
playing in the heavens, and it is supposed that a
heavy bolt of electricity struck the engine. It must
have been caused by lightning, as all circumstances
prove that to no other cause can it be attributed.
The mangled bodies of the slain were brought to
town last night, and exhibited frightful evidence of
the combined power of steam and electricity, and
I its effects upon the engine, named " Richmond,"
destroying her completely, tearing every joint
asunder, scattering the men and fragments in all
I directions.
How TO GET Ilssurn.—Thousands of persons
continue to cure themselves of Colds, Coughs,
Headache, Rheumatic Affections, Small Pox Mee-
sles, Costiveness, Influenza, and the host of those
indications of the body of the blood being out of
order, simply by perseveringly using Brandreth's
Vegetable Universal Pills, so long as any symp
toms of derangement in any organ remain. Often,
by adopting this course, which experience has
proved is according to nature, it being merely as
sisting her, have many in a few days been restored
to health, who but for the Brandreth Pills had been
sick for months. The value of this medicine is in•
deed beyond price.

INPLUSNZ♦ AND CONSUMPTION.-11 is indeed a
melancholy truth that thousands fall victims to
Consumption every year, from no other cause than
neglected Colds; yet we find hundreds, nay thou
sands, who treat such complaints with the greatest
indifference, and let them run on for weeks and even
months, without thinking of the danger. At first
you have what you consider a slight cough or cold;
you allow business, pleasure, or carelessness to pre
vent you from giving it any attention; it then set
tles upon your breast--you become hoarse, have
pains in the side or chest, expectorate large (pond
ties of matter, perhaps mixed with blood; a diffi
culty of breathing ensues, and then you find your
own foolish neglect has brought on this
complaint. If, then, you value life or health, be
warned in time, and don't trifle with your Cold, or
trust to any quack nostrum to cure you; but imme
diately procure a bottle or two of that famous rem
edy, Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, which
is well known to be tho most speedy cure over
known, as thousands will testify whose lives have
been saved by it.
For Influenza, it is the very best medicine in the
world, as hundreds will testify.

Some few weeks ago, he in fine spirits, took an ex

for a number of years,) to see the country; on his
course homeward he became quite unwell ; after his
return, the disease took a fierce hold on him,
and it continued on, until at last lie was cut off
from this world—taken to " his long home from
whence no traveller returns."
It is indeed very consoling to those he left behind
to mourn his loss, to know that he has gone the

the way all Christians go. Ho was a member of

PICTURE OF HEALTH.—HeaIth is
characterised in an individual by the ab
sence of all pain, suffering or affection in
any part of his body ; by the free and regu
lar exercise of all his functions without any
exception. They consist in having a good
appetite at meal times, an easy digestion,
free evacuations, without looseness or cos
, tiventss at least once in every twenty, four
hours, and without heat, dryness, or burning
at the passage ; the free issue of water with
out acrimony or burning, and without a red
dish sediment which is always a sign of a
present or an approaching pain ; quiet sleep
without agitation or troublesome. dreams;
no taste of bile or other bad taste in the
mouth upon rising in the morning ; no sour
ness or disagreeable rising of the stomach ;
a clean tongue; a sweet breath ; no itching,
pimples or spots on the skin ; no piles ; no
burning heat upon any part of the body ; no
excessive thirst when unexposed to laber or
other known cause ; no interruption to any
natural evacuation, nor pain at their period
( ical return.
Where the state of the system does not
harmonize with the above picture of health,
it is of the greatest importance that no time
be lest in sending for a doctor, or in the use
of foolish remedies too often the result of
speculation ; instead of this course let a dose
of Brandreth's Pills be taken, which will
not deceive, but will at once restore health
to the organ or part that requires it.
All who wish to preserve their health, all
who are determined to defend their life
against the encroachments of disease which
might send them prematurely to the grave,
will, without hesitation, have recourse to the
Brandreth Pills, when the state of the sys
tem does not harmonize with the above pic
ture of health.
Those who live in a country where conta
gious or other diseases prevail, should often
think of this true picture of health, and
ob
serve himself with particular attention, in
order to act accordingly. The wise and
rightly directed will follow this advice--the
unwise are left to their own destruction.

r7SUDDEN DEATH, APOPLEXY, BURST—
ING OF VESSELS, &C.—Wright's Indian Ve
getable Pills are certain to prevent the at
hove dreadful consequences, because they
purge from the body those morbid humors
which, when floating in the general circu
lation, are the cause of a determination or
rush of blood to the head, a pressure upon
the brain, and other dreadful results.—
From two to six of said Indian Vegetable
Pills, taken every night, on going to bed,
will in a short time so completely cleanse
the body from every thing that is opposed
to health that sudden death, apoplexy,
bursting of blood vessels, or indeed any mal
ady, will be in a manner impossible.
Wright's Vegetable Indian Pills also aid
and improve digeston, and purify the blood
and therefore give health and vigor to the
whole frame ' as well as drive disease of
every name from the body.
Beware of Counterfeits.—The public are
cautioned against the many spurious medi
ones which in order to deceive are made
in outward appearance, ciosely
blethe above wonderful Pills.
OBSERVE.—PtiraWe4I;Cf the adver
tised agents, or at the office of the Gener
al Depot, No. 169 Race street, Philadel
phia, and be particular to ask for WRIG HT'
Indian Vegetable Pills.
The genuine medicines can be obtained
at the store of Wm, Stewart, Huntingdon.
