Township Meetings Recommended.
By a Circular, on our first page, from the State
Central Committee, Township Meetings are re
commended. We hope our Whig brethren in
those townships in which meetings have not been I
held recently, will make arrangements to hold
th em previous to the October election.
We suggest to our country friends that although
Saturday may be a convenient day for themselves,
it is most inconvenient for the "stump orators" of
this borough.
Exhibition of a Locofoco Principle.
On Thursday morning last, about 2 o'clock, some
Locofoco rowdies cut down the splendid Pole which
the young Whigs had reared in front of the Old
Court House, and also the Clay Pole erected on
Allegheny street.
We think we could give the names of the mean,
sneaking, low-lived scoundrels who committed the
blackguard acts, and perhaps would give the
names if we did not know that the lawless desperadoes
glory in such conduct. A fellow who carries a
"previous pardon" in hie pocket, for conspiracy, is
said to have been the leader of the gang. Cutting
down Clay poles is but the developement of a prom
inent principle of a faction who are proud of the
name of "Barn-burners."
A Governor in Prison:
The Lexington, Ky. Observer, in alluding to the
recent destruction by fire of the Penitentiary at
Frankfort, states that during the conflagration, and
while the flames were raging all around with great
fury, the convicts in their cells were extremely anx
ious to be brought out, under the belief that it was
impossible to save the building in which they were
confined, and that their lives were endangered. In
this, they were seconded by the ladies of Frankfort,
tyke, is the feelings of benevolence and kindness
peculiar to their sex, appealed to Gov. Letcher, who
has the power to interpose in their behalf. The
Governor with his usual promptitude, and with that
energy of character which distinguialies him, re
sponded that he could not comply with their wishes,
unless it should become absolutely necessary; and
under the impression that the *Wing might be sa

THE GLOBE AND ITS IRON-TEETHED
RAKE.
" Not true," says Mr. Mytinger, that the "Globe,"
a rank Locofoco paper, " is the organ of the mon
grel dieorganizers." Oh, no! the ' Globe" dis
owns the disgrace; and yet Jake Shavelail, the ac
knowledged leader of the " Mongrel" disorgani
zero, is permitted to publish his communications in
that veritable sheet, heaping indiscriminate abuse
upon respectable citizens of this county. The edi
tor must either be very soft, if such communications
and editorials are imposed upon him, as "respecta
ble," or very reckless, if ho publishes them, know
ing their unmitigated scurrility. He may take
either horn of the dilemma. And although Juke

Township Meetings.
Large and resyclable Whig meetings were held,
last week, at Shirleysburg, Shade Gap and Cassville,
alias Chilcoatstown. A. W. BENEDICT and DAvln
BLAIR, Esqrs. and Messrs. G. Dorsey, D. Snare,
W. S. Africa and 0. A. Miller, of the " Clay Min
strels" of this borough, attended these meetings.
The former two delivered able addresses at each of
these meetings, and the "minstrels" gave a touch
of that same old tune.
We attended the meeting at Caseville, in person,
and partook of the hospitality of the Whigse that
place, for which they have our grateful thanks.
DEATH OF THE FAT GIRL.
The Lowell Advertiser says that Jane Vanvalken
burg, the colored girl, who has been in that city on
exhibition for a few days, died at her lodgings on
Merrimack street loot Wednesday evening. She'
was indisposed but a short time, and we are not in
formed of the nature of her disease. She was a
native of Nassau, N. Y., 14 years of age, and
weighed, it is said, five hundred pounds! She was
unquestionably the most remarkable instance of ob
esity on record. I ler remains have been carried to
her friends.
A GALE AT LOUISVILLE.
The Louisville Courier of Tuesday says:—" A
violent gale, only a few hundred yards in width,
swept over this city last evening about dusk, atten
ded with thunder, lightning, and rain. Two steam
boats, the Grace Darling and Alice Grey, were
swept from their moorings, and driven out into the
stream against the rocks, but they were soon got off
without much damage. Several trees were uproot
ed and broken. The magnificent Whig liberty pole
at the log cabin was blown down. The toll locofo
co pole, put up with so much parade a few evenings
ago on Eleventh street, was shattered, and we un
derstand that several other Locofoco poles were an
nihilated."
AN OUTRAGE.
Sun says:—" We regret to say
Adam Miller, attached to the
Conference, was officiating in
Sabbath last, (the Bth inst.) and
iissionary, on Fell's Point, he was
a fellow named Schad, who inter
: dared the reverend gentleman to
being remonstrated with, he went
summon two " high bidders" to
irpose in breaking up the laudable
e of the clergyman. Schad was arrested yes
officer Potee, and in default of $lOOO
the peace, was committed to jail by
aeffer, Esq."
AN AWFUL WARNING.
The New York Republic says that on Friday
evening, the 19th ult., on board the packet boat
Onondaiga, a man died in a very sudden and awful
manner. He had taken the liberty to avow himself
an infidel, and to puur the most horrid anathemas
upon Christianity and its author, and was exceed
ingly enraged against any that dared to reprove him,
While engaged in this wickedness, and while in the
very act of cursing the followers of Christ, he fell
upon the deck of the boat, and instantly expired.
All present, soya the individual who gave us the
facts in the case, were admonished of the truth of
that declaration, God is not mocked."
TROUBLE AMONG TILE MORMONS.
Tha Warsaw Sigeal says, that 'one day week be
fore last, Bishop George Miller, who is Trustee in
trust for the Church of Latter-day Saints, got into
a quarrel with Elder Lyman Wight, which from
words aroso to blows. The result was, that the
Bishop got a severe drubbing. A man by the name
of Woodworth, architect of the Temple, fell aboard
of Wight, after the latter had done with Miller, and
gave him, in turn, a satisfactory dressing.
FROM JAMAICA-A CITY DESTROYED
BY AN EAR fIIQUAKE.
Jamaica papers of the 15th ult. have been received
by the New Orleans Bulletin. Thelong continued
drought had been temporarily interrupted by show
ere of rain, but the dry weather was still complain
ed of. The news from the Home Government of
the contemplated alteration in the sugar duties gave
great dissatisfaction. The " Dispatch" of the 10th
ult.•states that letters from St. Juan Nicaragua give
accounts of an earthquake. The city of Nicaragua
lies in ruins, only one house is to be seen. Tho
chorches and plantations in that quarter are also de
stroyed. No mention is made of any lives being
lost. 'The visitation, (says the Dispatch) must
have taken place some time in the end of June.'—
The British blockade of the port of St. Juan isstill

Coon Meetings.
Ma. EnzTon:—
In company with five other gentle
men of our town I made a trip to the lower and
southern part of our county, fur the purpose of hold
ing Clay meetings. We left home on Thursday,
at one o'clock, and arrived at Shirleysburg at six
o'clock of the same evening, where we held a meet
ing, which, after singing some good coon songs by
the minstrels, was ably and eloquently addressed by
Messrs. Blair and Benedict. The next morning
we preceeded to Shade Gap, where was held a very
large and enthusiastic meeting. Here we had a
number of ladies among the audience, and one
young lady bore a beautiful yell. silk Banner, on
which was inscribed, "Clay, Frelingliuysen and I
Markle, or no husband." We returned to GaAs°.
nia that evening, and after the minstrels sang some
first rate coon songs end the speakers talked a few
Locos out of countenance, we retired for the night.
The next morning we proceeded through part of
Cromwell and Springfield townships to Camille,
vvltere we held another very large and enthusiastic
meeting, and witnessed the presentation of a Banner
by the ladies of Cassville to the Casa township Clay
Club. Miss Wright 'presented it in a very neat
and appropriate address, and after a few remarks by
Mr. Blair in behalf of the ladies, it was received by
Mr. Benedict, who responded to the address on the
other side, in a very happy manner for the Club.
At every place we went, we found the "latch
strings of our Clay friends hanging out. Our
Democratic friend, Felix Logan, had a barrel of
hard cider rolled out to the side of the road, th the
gourd hanging on it; and we returned home on
Saturday night, highly pleased with our trip.
We heard of our "Democratic" friends, who were
out on the snme errand, during our trip, and mark
the difference, Mr. Editor : while our speakers ar
gued and explained our principles, they went into
billingsgate and slang. They talked about Feder
alism—Gambling—and Morality. Pretty exam
ples of either, are they not! But set a thief to
watch a thief--and as they have no principles to
talk about, they gave their own experience in the
above sciences.
THE HON. CHARLES NAYLOR
We state with pleasure, that the decision of the
Mayor in this case was given on Friday last, dis
missing the charge against Mr. Naylor—there being
no cause to hold him to answer. This result is pe
culiarly gratifying to the numerous friends of Mr.
N.; and we trust that the public journals at a die-
lance, that have noticed Isis case from time to time,
will, in justice, and at the earliest opportunity, al
: I ude to the foots here stated. Mr. N., it is well
known, formerly represented the Third District in
Congress, and with honor to himself and his con
stituents; and we believe that those who knew him
best, will attribute his conduct in the recent ditEcul
, ties in Southwark, to the motives and promptings of
humanity.—Phila. Inquirer.
CRIME IN ENGLAND.
The following paragraph is from a late London
paper. We give it for the benefit of such unpreju
diced individuals among us, as believe that the Old
World is quite exempt from crime, especially in
contrast with the new.
At Exeter there were nine cases of incendiarism.
One a charge against a child of ten years old, and
four others against boys under fifteen. Jane Ne
therton, aged 33, convicted of setting fire to a hay ,
stack belonging to the Rev. S. W. Pearce, at Er-1
mington, was transported far life. At Norwich,
James Groat, aged 35, was charged with the wilful 1
murder of his four children, the eldest of whom was
only five years of age. He was acquitted on the !
ground of insanity. At Stafford. W in. Beard was
convicted of the wilful murder of Ann Griffitha, at
Wednesbury, on the 16th of March last, and sen
tenced to death. At Bobmin, Matther Week, aged
22, was convicted of the wilful murder of Charlotte
Symond, his fellow-servant and sweetheart, at Da-
vidstown, in April last, by cutting her throat. The
motive appears to have been jealousy. The prisoner
was sentenced to death. At Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
Mark Sherwood, an elderly grey-haired man, was
I charged with the wilful murder of Ann Sherwood
his wife, on the 14th of March last, under circum
-1 stances of great barbarity. Ho was convicted.

In Rhode Island no prisoner is or can be placed in
solitary cells. That punishment was abolished by
law before Thomas W. Dorr became a hero.—Cin.
Chronicle.
ELECTIONEERING IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Mr. Chandler of the United States Gazette, gives
the following very pleasent account of some of the
Election Scenes, un the banks of the Susquehan-
Why should I go wandering among the moun
tains alone, like Jeptha's daughter? Every man'
woman, and child, had entered full well into the
business of electioneering. Not a coal wagon
crossed my track, that did not bear the cognizance
of come party chieftan. Corner after corner exhib
ited a lofty pole of hickory or of ash, and displayed
a banner, with the names of favorite men, and os
tensible measures. Calls were hung up for Mass
Meetings, yet to take place ; and hours were pass
ed in narratives of the latest, to which the clans
went up by thousands, and mammoth wagons, con
taining fifty or sixty voters, were drawn to the Con
vention by half a regiment of horses. Women
were discussing the merits of candidates, and lau
ding the force and gallantry of their p arty ; for truth
to say the house, for the present, is occasionally di
vided against itself, though you and I know where
the husband must be at the ballot-box, if the wife
has courage enough to prepare banners and flags.—
Nay, I am not sure, but in most of such cases, the
lady is the 'avant courier' of the other's approach—
perhaps the pivot man, (Y) upon whom the others
are to turn.
Sweeping along the dusty roads or unpaved
I streets, processions of email boys, with here and
there a bare-legged girl, could be discovered, with
paper caps and muslin banners, going forth in hon
or of the most popular candidate, and in imitation
of their seniors. Sure exponents, these, of politi
cal sentiment—sighing for their turn at the ballot
box, while they are unconscious of the influence
they now exerase.
Groups of men, young and old, were seen at the
corners, giving out oracular opinions of men
(measures hove long since ceased to occupy pub
lic attention in this region,) while above, at the
window, women were discovered attentive to the ar
gument, and sometimes they were beard sanction
ing the assertions of some young disputant.
The side walk, the bar room, the parlor, and
(for aught I know to the contrary) the bed cham
ber, were scenes of party discussion, (not of par
ty bitterness, so much as of party earnestness) and
the salutation of" how do you do ?" was sometimes
exchanged for an inquiry into the strength of 'the
latest mass meeting, and the success of some popu
lar speaker. And was. Ito throw myself out of
this current, like a fish out of water, and be alone
the wise man? It were wisdom, modesty at least,
to do otherwise—and otherwise I did. Though I
do nut choose to tell you publicly which party I
sided with, yet I may say that so for as my observa
tion extended, the difference in opinion did not
diminish the exercise of courtesy by the members

PARTY SPIRIT AND ITS WORKINGS.
Whatever the height to which party range may
mount, the grave at least should be sacred Its m
cent earth should surely not be disturbed by the
cruel hands of foes, and still less raked by friends
for mud with which to bespatter political adversa
ries, who at least spare the dead.
We should scarcely havebeen surprised to meet,
in ono of the journals of that party which so little
respected the virtues of President HA 51150 N, even
when ho and they hud descended to the tomb, a
shameful article like the following ; but in a paper
like the Pennsykanian, conducted by a gentleman
of wit, taste, scholarship, cultivated feelings, we are
shocked to find adopted a thing so wantonly atro
cious towards the living, so irreverent towards ono
who is no more:
"Mr. Mon LE nER o.—The Harrisburg Demo
cratic Union, in the course of a series of oppropri
priote remarks upon the lamented death of Mr. M uh
lenberg, continues in the following words:
"It is the general impression of his neighbors
that the recent foul calumnies uttered against Mr.
Mublenberg by the federal press weighed heavily
upon his perh.tpa too sensitive spirit, and produced
'this catastrophe. He has passed through a long
career of eminent private and public usefulness,
and his reputation had never until .w been made
the subject of vituperation. He was a man of high
end noble bearing; alive with time keenest emo
' lions of honor, end has probably sunk under the
'fiery ordeal of federal persecution. We do not
envy the feelings of his traducers."
The bitter La Rochefoucauld, in ono of the gloo
miest of those maxims which he has founded on
his system of a universal human depravity, expres
ses his porsuation that in the worst misfortunosof
our friends we always find something at which we
are secretly pleased. Such seems in this instance
the fact amongst these members of " the Democra
cy ;" they comfort themselves In the decease of Mr.
MuitLiantan by turning it into the occasion of a
miserable piece of defamation against the Whigs!
The inscrutable decree of God has suddenly laid
him in his glove, and his adversaries respect it: but,
dead as he is, these men would use him still, and
pluck him from his canonized earth, tear him from
his shroud, to conjure up party passions and a sa
cred horror with his violated remains.
Now, what idea do they thus give of hint whom
they profess to lament Where, at this rate, were
in him those firm, high, manly qualities, that oblo
quy cannot daunt, that in the brave man's heart
defy alike unmerited misfortUne, and casual unstea
dy success? Him, the momentary triumph of
wrong does not appal, nor slander, however poison
ous, blast; but truth, honor, a conscience void of
offence, and the courage not to be shaken which
these bestow, sustain him, let envy or calumny rage
as it will. Suck men sink not. cut down in the
very midst of greatness and popularity by a few
election-lies.
If such (as is quite possible) were told of Mr.
Muhlenberg, who escapes them in a popular con-
test I We, however, have heard of no accusation's
against him that were fit to slay a man. The poet
Keats is said to have died of criticism ; but for a
statesman to perish in that way is something new.
We ourselves know one that has stood that sort of
thing more than ihTly years—the last !reedy of
which has been on incessant storm of falsehood and
hate. Yet when has he blenched before it all I
And lo! what coMeth at last? Something for
which it was worth while to withstand unbent the
popular breath, the demagogue roar, the howl of
slanderers, the very thunders of an almost unresis
ted tyrant. The tempest has blown away its own
breath, overwhelming many that aided to raise and
thought to ride forever on it: the winds have sunk
into but the glad murmur of o people's returning
admiration , the serene skies look out once more;
and though the croak of many a Imeofoco frog still
attempts to chide the' returning sun, far above the
flying clouds spillitg up to sight, once more, that
landmark of the notion which they have assailed
and hidden in vain—
As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm,
Thought found its base the rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
Lotter Z'rom'the Postmaster General
The following letterwill be read with interest by
the friends of the Sabbath throughout the country;
and may serve to remind them of the importance of
sending delegates to the convention mentioned in
another column.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
June 26, 1844.
Gentlemen : I most tender to you my regret that
I have delayed an answer to your communication
of the 25th October, 1843, until now. My only
apology is that when received, my attention was ar
rested by other official business—your letter was
laid upon my table, became covered up by other
papers, and overlooked till to-day.
Most heartily do I concur in the sentiments ex
pressed by the proceedings of the Convention of the
friends of the Christian Sabbath assembled in the
city of New Brunswick, a copy of which you en
closed me, and I assure you my individual exertions
shall be devoted by precept and example to impress
the principles incalculated by the resolutions of the
Convention.
As Post Master General I have a duty to perform 1
in sending the public mail, which often forbids and
to pursue the inclination of my individual wishes.
With you, gentleman, I am "firmly persuaded that
our free institutions cannot survive the prostration
of religion and morals," and you may rest assured
that every exertion compatible with public and offi
cial duty, will be made by me to elevate the stand
ard of both in this our favored land. The princi
ples
of free government are inseparably connected
with the principles of the Christian religion. The
led which is destitute of the Bible, and not illu
minated by the light of the gospel, is, and must
over remain, the dominion of the oppressor and the
home of the oppressed.
I have found it most expedient and successful to
follow rather than officially attempt to control public
sentiment upon the subject of continuing or discon
tinuing Sabbath mails. The time is approaching
when public sentiment will control this subject fa
vorably, and we must patiently, and prayerfully,
abide its cooling.
For the favorable wishes and opinions you have
been pleased to express for me personally and offi
cially, I tender you my thanks.
Respectfully, &e.

PICTURE OF REaLTlL—llealth is
characterised in an individual by the ab
sence of all pain, suffering or affection in
any part of Isis body 3 by the free and regu
lar t xercise of all his functions without any
exception. They consist in having a good
appetite ut meal times, all easy digestion,
free evacuations, without looseness or ens
tivent ss at least once in every t wenty• four
hours, and without heat, dryness, or burning
at the passage ; the free issue of water with
out acrint tsy or burning, and without a red
o 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 di agreeable rising of the stomach ;
a clean tongue ; a sweet breath ; no itching,
pimples or spots on the skin ; no piles ; uo
burning heat upon any part "of the body ; no
excessive thirst when unexposed t.) lather or
other known cause ; no interruption to any
natural es acuation, nor pain at their period
ical return.
Where the state of the system does not

it is of the greatest importance that no time
[)e lest in sending far a doctor, or in the use
14 foolish remedies too often, the result ul
speculation ; instead of this course let a dose
of Braudreth'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 heath, all
who are determined to defend their life
against the encroachments of disease which
might send them prematurely to the grave , will, without hesitation, hove recourse to the
Brandreth Pills, when the state cif the sys-
tem does not harmonize with the above iiic
ture of het hit. •
Those who live in a country where conta-
gloss or other diseases prevail, should often
think of this true picture of health, and ob
serve himself with paruLular attention, itt
order to act accordingly. The wise and
rightly directed will follow this advice--the
unwise are left to their own destruction.
