TILE FULL TICKET.
The Senatorial Conferees met on Wednesday
last, in pursuance of adjournment, and nominated
JOHN MORRISON, of this county, for Senator.
Mr. M. is a highly respectable Farmer of Shirley
township, and represented this county in the House
of Representatives, a few years ago.
The Whigs of the counties of Huntingdon and
Bedford will ratify this nomination by a handsome
majority.
Whigs of Huntingdon county—Friends of Clay,
Frelinghuysen and the Country!—turn out to the
polls on the second Tuesday of October, and elect
the patriotic Gen. Markle and the whole County
Ticket by an unprecedented majority ; and ail will
be well at the Presidential election.
PROCEEDINGS OF MEETINGS.
It is impossible to publish at this time, the pro
ceedings of the Whig meetings, they are becoming
so numerous and enthusiastic. We like to see these
demonstrations, and we are sorry OW we cannot
bestow upon them the favorable oc.ti4es which they
deserve.
(We are informed the the southern portion
of this county is completely covered with half sheets,
jostled from the Bedford Gazette office, freighted
with falsehoods Locofoco Lies"—by George W.
Bowman, a pardoned convict. Whigs, be on your
guard! Look out for Locofoco FORGERIES,
SLANDERS and all manner of VILLANOUS
LIES and DECEPTION on the eve of the elec
tion. Scoundrels who have PARDONS in their
pockets DARE do any thing.
THE HOLLIDAYSBURG MEETING.
This is admitted on all hands to have been the
greatest display of popular strength ever witnessed
in the interior of Pennsylvania. V 1 e have heard
the number in attendance variously estimated—
from 5,000 to 10,000.
The delegation from this place, and all others
travelling in canal boats, were greatly annoyed by
" Texians," who threw large stones into the locks,
so as to came in csutact with the gates—drew the
water from levels, to lower the boats into the mud,
and all such like amusements. Such is the "de
mocracy" of the Loco.
al"' ROAST BYE/ DYMOCRATA," new patent,
we suppose. Inquire of the Huntingdon Globe.
Mr. Blanchard and Dr. Henderson.
The Hollidaysburg "Standard" makes an ex
tract from our article relative to the nomination of
honest JOAN BLANCHARD, "for the purpose," as its
sapient editor says, "of proving • • the identity of
the Whigs of 1844 with the Federalists of 1798!"
The same paper contains a number of quotations
I alleged to be from the writings of Adams and Ham
ilton—and adds that Mr. Blanchard is a disciple of
of the one and an admirer of the political character
of the other.
The Standard also contains an article, nearly a
column in length, announcing the nomination of
Dr. Joseph Henderson, by the Locofocos; but not
a word can we find in it to give us a cue to his
principles, or .he measures he is in favor of. In
substance, we are told that he is just the man for
the “democracy"—that he is a "war-worn veteran"
—a "certificated" hero!
Most contemptible demagogueism! This is the
"democratic" plan of the Locofocos for carrying on
the contest. Thus are they putting out extracts--
sending up the rain-bow-colored soap-bubbles, to
catch the gaze of the lovers of the beautiful. They
are declaiming about "democracy" and heroism,
to enchain the minds and excite the feelings of the
soft and the credulous. And all this is done for
I the purpose of DEAWINO THE PUBLIC ATTENTION
FROM THE TRUE QUESTIONS AT ISSUE IN TOE co,
TEsT !
The sentiments quoted cannot be dragged into
the question now before the electors of this Con
gressional district. They were propagated prior
to the adoption of the present national Constitution
—they relate to the formation of Government, and
not to its administration. Mr. Dougherty fails
most signally in connecting Mr. Blanchard with
those sentiments. Our candidate never, by word,
act, or deed, endorsed them.
JOHN BLANCHARD is the advocate of the
Protective nriff Policy--the Whig Tariff of '42.
He is in favor of the Distribution of the proceeds
of the Public Lands—a Sound National Curren
cy—the One-Term principle—Rotation in office,
4c. If this is Federalism, he glories in it! To
these measures and principles Dr. Henderson is OP•
POSED ; but the Locofoco editors never tell their
readers a word of this.
DR. JOSEPH HENDERSON is the advocate
of the condemned Sub-Treasury System, and the
Van Buren Policy, as practiced from 1837 to 1841.
He is in favor of the Annexation of Texas to the
United States, CVC. Mr. Blanchard is opposed to
all these. But this, too, the Locofoco editors are stu
dious to conceal from their benighted readers.
No one, we trust, will be misled by such decep
tive tricks and delusive cant as that which fills the
Locofoco papers of this county. Let all bear in
mind that the most vital interests of the country are
at stake, and must be determined for weal or wo at
the approaching election.
That Challenge
In our paper of the 4th inst. we proposed to pub
lish the letter of Thomas L. Hamer, relative to his
vai, Four neighbor of the "Globe" would pub
lish the letter of Rev. Dr. Bascom, relative to the
moral character of Mr. Clay.
The Globe of last week accordingly contains Dr.
Bascom's letter, prefaced, however, by scurrilous
remarks from some one of its editorial scribblers,
occupying as much room as the letter itself. The
letter is followed by a few paragraphs, purporting to
be extracts from Greely and M Elrath's Life of Clay,
which show what no one denies, that Mr. Clay, in
early life, fought bloodless duels. These extracts
are accompanied with nearly two columns of the
old, stale, stereotyped slanders fabricated by Amos
Kendall and his satellites, to prove that Henry Clay
is a gambler—profime swearer—Sabbath-breaker
—and tnurderer. The whole is then wound up
by this silly banter: "Will the Journal dare to
publish these extracts side by side with the letter
we have given publicity."
We reply, that in view of all the harm it would
do Mr. Clay or the Whig party, we DARE fill up
our paper with the oft-refuted slanders of the Globe.
But we do not choose to soil our columns with such
slang, and violate truth, outrage decency and insult
the dignity of our readers.
The letter of Mr. Hamer we give, agreeably to
our promise.
Markle and Skunk.
Three years ago, when Judge Banks was our
candidate for Governor, some of the Locos railed
out lustily againtit Judges and Lnwyers. Now,
when Lawyer Shunk is the candidate on the other
side, ""a change has come over the spirit of their
dream."
A SPECIMEN OF THE FINE ARTS.
A few days ago we saw, in Henderson township,
a Hickory Pole, bear:pg three streamers of carpet
rags—brown, yellow and black—and a white muslin
banner, with this inscription painted on it:

stand on his head to read the Locofoco "princi

THE "PEOPLE" ARE COMING!
8 SCREW LOOSE!
yellow Citizen., or Free Electors of Huntingdon
county ,
I understand that the late delegate
meeting has seen fit to select me as their candidate
for the A uditorship of this county—as I was not
apprized of that fact before the adjournment of the
delegates, and hence had not the privilege of de
clining the nomination, I think it my duty with all
due respect to the motives of those who have done
me the honor, thus publicly to withdraw my name
from the canvass. I have often declared that I coy
eted no office of trust or profit, and must now reite-
I rate the same sentiment. I never could consent to
be a candidate for any such position, unless it were
the spontaneous will of the people, to which I proba
bly would submit; but last of all, under the pres
ent circumstance, when I could reasonably expect
support only from men whose principles I deem
detrimental to the best interest of our country. I
cannot approve of the manner in which the Anti
masonic and Whig nominations of a few past years
and of the present t ear have been made, that is of
selecting men to fill our offices who previously take
care to urge strongly upon the community their
claims for their posts, and I honestly believe that
good, competent and patriotic men will never be
obtained in such a way. The people have a right
and ought to exercise it of choosing those whom
they esteem the most trusty and honest to perform
their business, independent of the impertinent
chime of any of them' number. Whatever I might
do on other occasions or at another time, I am at
the present crisis, when the people have so much at
stake, utterly opposed to any effort to defeat the reg
ularly nominated Antimasonic and Whig ticket of
this county.

GIIAYSPOIIT, Sept. 21, 1844
Mr. EDITOR:-
Sir, after my respects, I would
solicit a place in your paper for my declination of
the nomination made at the 10th September Con
vention, held in Huntingdon, at which time and
place I was nominated for the office of Sheriff.
To the Electors of Huntingdon county:
FELLOW CITIZENS:—Having been nominated
for the office of Sheriff, by a Convention of dele
gates from the people, assembled at Huntingdon,
on the 10th inst., I respectfully tender my thanks
to my friends who nominated me and those who
felt disposed to support me, and decline being a can
didate for the reason that Mr. Matthew Crownover
has announced himself a candidate for the same
office; he is a candidate in direct opositio. ;o•voli
tage, who was nominated , at the August Convention
held by the Whigs of this county, and cannot fail
of the support of that Convention and party. I
therefore would solicit my friends to view the mat
ter in its proper light and then vote for Mr. Armi
tage, whose ability to fulfill the duties of the office
no one can doubt. United we stand; and divided
we fall ! Whigs to your post !!

and the colt " Shavetail" is streaking it for the big

Truth Well Told.
A writer in the Kennebec Journalthus concludes
an able article:—lf we look at the points connec
ted with the coming election, what will follow the
success of either candidate? If Henry Clay is
elected we shall have a President whose talents and
statesmanship the nation will be proud of.
We shall have the Union as it is;
We shall have no annexation of Texas;
We shall have no war with Mexico;
We shall not assume the debt of Texas ;
We shall not add new slave territory;
We shall hold on to the present Tariff;
We shall have a friend to Protection;
We shall have a friend to American Industry ;
We shall have a friend to the right of petition ;
We shall have a uniform Currency;
We shall have no vetoes;
We shall have economy in the Government;
We shall have the price of labor kept up ;
We shall have the price of wool kept up;
We shall have our share of the Public Lands;
We shall have an American with American prin
ciples;
We shall have a good President and good times;
—lf James K. Polk is elected, how reversed will be
the state of affairs—how different the scene! "If
we ask for bread he will give us a stone." We
shall have a Pharaoh, and no Moses to stay his
hand. The United States will be like Texas, if not
like Egypt—darkness will cover the land.
We shall have a Revenue Tariff;
We shall have no Protection;
We shall have no Right of Petition;
We shall have no Distribution;
We shall have war upon the Banks;
We shall have war with Mexico;
We shall have wool "duty free";
We shall have labor at European prices;
We shall have the condemned Sub-Treasury
Bill;
We shall have the " Two HUNDRED THOU
SAND Standing ARMY;"
We shall have one Currency for Government,
and another for the l'eople ;
We shall assume the debt of Texas;
We shall have a Southern man with Southern
principles;
We shall have Polk, Dallas & Texas, instead
of Clay, Prelinghuysen and the Union as it is.
Let every man vote, and let every man see for
whom and for what he votes.
I Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.
* The U. S. Gazette says:—We have late and re
riabk information from Tennessee, which assures
us that Clay's majority will not be less than 8000,
and probably 10,000.—And we have equally grati
fying intelligence from Georgia and Virginia.
There is no doubt whatever as to the result of the
approaching election in these States. Our friends
may rely upon it that the electoral votes of both
these States will be given for Henry Cloy.

POLK FOR TAXING TEA AND COFFEE.
The opinion is for the cotton growers, of the
South, but the " democracy" are always horrified at
the idea of taxing tea and coffee! Let us see how
Mr. Polk stands on this question. In 1833, Mr.
Polk was a member of the Committee of Ways
and Means, wh ch committee proposed to impose a
duty of twenty per cent. on Tea and Coffee, at
the tune they were duty free. A proposition was
made to strike them out from the reported bill, so
as to leave them duty free. MR. POLK VOTED
AGAINST THE PROPOSITION, AND IN
FAVOR OF TAXING TEA AND COFFEE !
POLK AGAINST REVOLUTIONARY PA•
TRIOTS.
On the passage of the bill, March 13, 1828, for
the relief of surviving officers of the revolutionary
war, Mr. Polk voted IN THE NEGATIVE.—

Clay on the Tariff of 1842.
The Committee that addressed Col. Polk, subse
quently addressed the following letter to the Hon.
Henry Clay. The reply of Mr. Clay, which was
promptly given, is also subjoined :
CARLISLE, Sept. 2, 1844.
Hon. HENRY CLAY,
Dear Sir:—The undersigned,
members of a Committee appointed by a Democrat
ic meeting of citizens of Dickinson township, Cum
berland county, Pennsylvania, held at Cumberland
Hall on the 20th day of July last, in accordance
with a resolution of said meeting, addressed the fol
lowing letter to the Hon. James K. Polk, viz:
Canuscs, July 24, 1844.
Hon. James K. POLK,
Dear Sir :—At a meeting of
the Democrats of Dickinson township, of this
(Cumberland) county, the undersigned persons
were appointed a Committee to address you on the
subject of the Tariff, and inquire:
let. Are you in favor of the Tariff Act of 1842 1
2d. Would you, if elected, support that Act as
it is without modification, or would you be in favor
of modifying it!
With every desire to support and uphold the dem
ocratic nominees, wilt must respectfully request a
distinct and positive answer to the above interroga
tories. Very respectfully, your most obedient ser
vants, T. C. MILLER, and others.
As more than sufficient time has elapsed, and no
answer received from Col. Polk, we now beg leave
to propound the same interogatories to you, re
spectfully requesting your answer to the same with
the least possible delay. In the meantime we re
main, very respectfully, your obedient servants.

MR. CLAY'S ANSWER.
ASHLAND, 9th Sept. 1844.
Gentlemen,—l this day received your letter, ad
dressing two enquiries to me, Ist. Are you in fa
vor of the Tariff Act of 18421" and "2dly.
Would you, if elected, suppott that Act as it in,
without modification, or would you be in favor of
modifying itl"
I have so often, gentlemen, expressed my opinion
in favor of the Tariff of 1842, that the only regret
I feel is that you should deem it at all necessary to
request any renewed expression of it. Neverthe
less, I take pleasure in complying with your request,
in saying that I am of opinion that the operation of
the Tariff of 1842 has been eminently salutary;
THAT I AM DECIDEDLY OPPOSED TO
ITS REPEAL ; that I should regard its repeal
as a great Notional calamity ; and that lam un
aware of the necessity of any modification of it.
I am, therefore, opposed alike to its repeal or modi
fication. A fixed and stable policy is what the
country now most needs ; and I sincerely hope that
the Tarilf of 1842 may he maintained, and thus
afford a security for that disideratam.
I am, respectfully,
Your obd't servant,
H. CLAY.

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 ens
tivent ss at least once in every twenty four
hours, and without heat, dryness, or burning
at the passage ; the free issue of water with
out acrimitly 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 leta 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 hea!th, 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 het.lth.
Those who live in a country where conta
gious mother 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.
Dr. Brandreth's Pills are for sale by the
