ame fallacy" (that is. the idea that the Tariff o 1842 was a democratic measure—that "protection' was a democratic principle ;") and when they come to be convincetrthat James K. Polk, is opposed to the doctrine of " protection," like the men of Dickinson, they will desert him, because they have been led to believe that protection" was a dem octatic doctrine; and they will regard Mr. Polk's HOSTILITY TO PROTECTION as on abandon- ment of democratic principles. This is ono of the bitter and blasting results of the DECEPTIVE •ND FRAUDULENT COURSE pursued by the so.callecl Democratic Press of this commonwealth; it is one of the poisonous fruits of TI lAT SYS TEM OF SOPHISTRY AND FALSEHOOD. which, without the solitary exception that we know of has been resorted to by the TRAVELLING ORATORS AND WHIPPERS-IN OF THE PARTY. Instead of honestly avowing the true and long cherished principles of the party, showing their superiority over those of their opponents, and preparing the minds of the people to receive them as the genuine offspring of tho Jeffersonian creed —like BASE THIEVES, these editors and om- tors have thus far spent the campaign in STEAL ING SCIONS FROM THE WIIIG NURSERY AND ENDEAVORING TO ENGRAFT THEM ON DEMOCRATIC STOCKS. Thus has a false issue been presented to the democracy by the men in whom they trusted, and whom the principle of gratitude for confidence generously bestowed, should have made honest and faithful to the trust. Time and again have we protested against the anti democratic course pursued by the presses, oratorsand leaders of the democratic party. We have admon ished them of the weakness of their policy and the dangers of their course. WE HAVE CONDEMN- ED THE WICKEDNESS OF THE FRAUDS THEY WERE PRACTISING, and invited them to return to the paths of" truth and soberness."— But our warnings and our admonitions have been met by hot and proscriptive denunciations; and men who have scarcely emerged from the swaddling clothes of democracy, have presumed to talk learn edly to us of the errors and impolicy of our po sition." The "travelling orators" from other parts, who have visited this State, and the infamous newspa per editors, who have propagated the wilful false hood that James K. Polk is friendly to protection, will receive a sufficient castigation in the editorials of this their own party organ, the "Pennsylvania Statesman." I will not assume the tack of chasti sing them for their baseness; and I gladly wash my hands of that dirty business. (Immense cheer ing ) But falsehood, with many of our political oppo nents, is now the order of the day. Perhaps the world never before exhibited more disgraceful spec tacks of reckless mendacity for political purposes. I have been diverted by the attacks made at two different parts of the country on a speech I deliver ed at Wilmington on. the subject of the Tariff.— By one writer I was assailed because I had not re presented Mr. Polkas a friend of the Protective Pol icy ; while by another writer it was distinctly claim ed that Mr. Polk was opposed to a proactive tariff, and he censured the Whig party, and especially Mr. Clay, for passing the protective tariff of 1842. (Laughter.) Yet, notwithstanding this little dis crepancy, both these writers were equally hot for Polk and Dallas ! I have been attacked for having voted in the United States Senate against the tariff acts of 1924 and 1842, though the assailants prob ably knew as well as you do, that I went into the Senate of the United States for the first time on the 4th of March, 1829, and resigned my seat in that body in December, 1836, and that I have never been in it since. (Cheers.) 11l this connexion let me also advert to a trick of the trade of certain po litical newspapers and orators who assail Whig members of Congress for voting against the propo sition of Mr. Wright, of New York, and others, who proposed to raise the duty on coarse wool, which is now only taxed with a revenue duty of I per cent ad valorem, when costing not more than 7 cents per pound. This is represented as a Whig vote against protection to wool. This coarse wool is brought from South America, and is used in the manufacture of carpets and the coarsest woollen fab rics. Wool of this kind is not produced by our farmers; yet it is necessarily used, with ours, in these manufactures; and without it our own wool could not be successfully used in the construction oldie. fabric.. A duty upon it, so far from pro- tecting, would only tax the manufacturer and in jure the American wool-grower; and that was the ! very object of many who voted foe it. Yet, aL though such a duty would be as clearly anti-pro tective as a duty on the dyestuffs of the manufactu rer, the Whigs of Congress have been arraigned through the whole Northern and Middle country for their votes against it as hoatile to protection; and ; I understand, ignorance and credulity have been extensively imposed upon by this deception. Let us look a little further into the misrepresen tations of the day. Do not be alarmed by the imagination that I am about to undertake the task of exposing all the falsehoods which have been in vented upon Mr. Clay. There is no necessity for any further vindication of him. He stands unsha ken and unmoved amidst the tempest of calumny, which rages around him, and will come forth un hurt by all the peltings of Mir pitiless storm. (great cheering.) At this very time, four years ago, our lamented Harrison was the object of assault from the same reckless calumniators. It was proved, so far as Locofocc , evidence could prove any thing, that he cold white men for debt, (laughter)—that that he was an old coward, a petticoat general,— that he was not in the battle of the Thames, and was a traitor to his trust: indeed, there were few crimes enumerated in the statute-book of which he was not accused. You, probably, all recollect how, in that day, we were tauntingly told that the Whigs deserved to be beaten for running an "old granny" for the Presidential office,while we had aStatesman like Henry Clay whose claims had been repudiated, and that we had defeated cur only chance of nue cess, by the omission to nominate that able and dist inguidted stutes,nan. (cheers) Dui Harrison has been taken from among us:— "---Duncan is in his grave ; After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well; Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing Con touch him furthei." And now, the same envenomed shafts, which may have had an agency in bringing his gray hairs in sorrow to the grave, are aimed, with the same intentions, at the very roan of whom it was then admitted, and proudly boasted, that HE would have done honor to the Presidential oflice !—(Cheers.) The great Statesman of the West has been the subject of unceasing calumny during twenty years, for ono of the best acts of his life. The sequel of his history, which shall announce the triumph that awaits him, while it will prove a salutary lesson to calumniators in all time to come, will present one of the proudest of all human victories over unmer ited persecution.—(Great viscera.) For, 10, the day and the hour are at hand ashen he shall not only come forth unhurt and unscathed by the or deal through winch he has passed ; but brighter and more glorious by that fiery trial will he stand amidst the blaze of his mighty and umexampled triumph.—(lnsmense applause and cheering.) Here Mr. Clayton illustrated his subject farther, by speaking of the calumnies circulated against the Whig candidate for Gevernor of Delaware, the brave and meritorious Major Thomas Stockton, of whom M r.C; spoke in terms of the warmest eulogy, while completely exposing the falsehood and wick edness of the charges brought against him for po litical purpose.. The shouts of approbation with which Mr. Ws remarks were received, exhibited the deep hold which Major Stockton has on the affections of his fellow citizens, as well as the pow er and eloquence of the speaker. But, as this por tion of the speech was chiefly of local interest in Dela ware, the reporter thought he would best meet the wishes of Pennsylvania readers by writing out and immediately printing that portion which treats of universal interest throughout the country.

That the Sabbath is an Institution of infinite value, not only in a religious point of view, but be ing based on natural law is highly conducive to the physical and moral well-being of mankind. 3 That it is an infringement of the law of God and an usurpatson of individual rights, for those in power to require the labour of persons in their em ployment on the Sabbath day. 4.

Mr. Powell, agent of the Philadelphia Sab bath Association," doubted the expediency of a too strict or harsh enforcement of the law as regards Packet Boats on the Canal, inasmuch as the citi zens of other States in the Union would be greatly affected, and an angry opposition might be arrayed against the benevolent efforts of the Association, and obstruct their labours.

Ds►n BRETHREN : In the midst of a great poli tical excitement on subjects of much importance to our national welfare, we would introduce to your notice a subject s till more vitally connected with the public prosperity. The experience of the world has proved, that no people, except those imbued with the principles of Christian morality, can king maintain equal rights and political freedom. There is no other code of morals sufficiently pure to di rect to good government, and none other having sufficient sanctions to command reverence, and curb Truman passions, and guide social life, and make man to regard his fellow man as possessed of equal rights with himself. In every community those who exercise the gov erning power should be imbued with these princi plea ; and, in our land, this power resides in the whole mass of the community. Government here, is not in the hands of the few, but of the many, and therefore, the principles of christian morality should be enshrined in the minds and hearts of the many also. . . . . To effect this which is co illdiPPOollible to the perpetuity of civet liberty, and equal rights, and good laws; it is not enough that schools of learn• ing shall be found throughout our country. More is needed. Nor is it enough that the Bible shall be found in every family, and the minister of religion in every village. We need something yet more.— We need a day—a whole day, statedly and fre quently recurring, to be universally set apart for ap plying to its highest end and knowledge acquired in the common school—a day which the Bible may be der ion may be heard, r of religii 1, and the minial and prayer made, and meditagn enjoyed, without interruption—a day of rest from worldly oc cupations—a day for social religion—a day in which may be used publicly, and privately and generally, all 'the instrumentality which can enlighten the mind, and awaken, and invigorate, and perpetuate the noble emotions of the soul—a subbed' of quie tude and devotion, of study and worship--such a day is indispensible, in connection with the common school for youth, and the Bible for all, and the min istrations of the gospel for those who can be indu ced to enjoy them, in order to the production and preservation of that moral sentiment which renders a people capable of self government. ro enforce the positive sanctification of the sab bath is not within the power of human laws; and hence such a thing should not be attempted by the civil power, nor by any merely social combination. But to prevent the public desecration of the day of sacred rest is a thing practicable in n civil commu nity, and comes within the range of those objects for which we are associated together. And all the great hindrances to the use and benefit of the day may be, and should be removed. There are many things in our community which tend to prevent the due sanctification of the Sab bath ; but probably the greatest public hindrance, in this section of country, is the business transacted on our public thorough-fares. The amount of sab bath desecration caused by transportations, and by travelling along our Canals and Railroads is im mense. Thousands are thereby occupied in labor on the day of rest. Other thousands are attracted to the landings and depots. And other thousands still are interupted in their worship by the commo tion. Now all this is useless as it regards the ac. complishment of labour; for God has made his creatures to correspond with the law of the Sabbath. He has so made both man and beast, that as much work can be accomplished by observing the day of rest, as by continuous and incessant labor. The observance of the Lord's day is as needful to the rcfrerhing of the body, as it is to the devotions of the soul. Thus the law of nature corresponds with the law of revelation. Both points to the Sabbath as of divine origin, and of great utility, and both sanction its observance. Sinbe then the keeping of the Sabbath will not hinder our temporal prospenty ; since it is needed for the refreshment of both man and beast; since it is indeepensible to the implanting and cultivating of those principles which alone can sustain civil liberty, and equal right, and good government; and since it is indissolubly connected with christian knowledge, and the prosperity of religion, and the soul's salvation ; we commend its observance to our fellow-citizens and fellow-christians to be cherished with the utmost assiduty. And, more definitely. 1. We recommend to the citizens of our county, and particularly to the friends of the Sabbath, an exemplary observance of the day : abstaining from all business, and from travelling, and from needless visiting and pleasure taking, and from all partner ship or needless transactions of business with those who violate the day of sacred rest. 2. Believing that a christian people are bound to preserve inviolate the public morality of the com munity, by the enactment of good and wholesome laws; believing also that the laws of Pennsylvania, on the subject of vice and immorality are good as far as they go, and that what is principally wanted is a due enforoement of law; and believing further that it is as much a duty to enforce the law as to enact it, and that good citizens are bound to both; we therefore recommend to all good citizens, and especially to our civil officers, a due enforcement of the laws of the State on the subject of the Sabbath. 3. We recommend a petition to the Legislature, requesting that the laws respecting our State im provements may be so altered that no laborer shall be required to open a Lock, or fire up an Engine, or do any other ordinary work on the day of sacred 4. We recommend to the Ministers of the Gos pel, and to other church officers, and to christians generally, the adoption of measures for giving in struction on the subject of the Sabbath sanctifica tion, and for affording facilities and encouragement to men of every class and age, to attend public worship on the Lords day. 5. Approving of the objects and efforts of tho Philadelphia Sabbath Association, we recommend contributions in aid of its funds. By order of the Committee. DAVID M'KINNEY, Chairman.

OLD HUNTINGDON COUNTY. ---As she is---as she has been---as she ought to be---and as she will be..l By the table of official returns, published in this paper, it will he seen that Huntingdon county still adheres to the true faith. The average majority for the Whig ticket is over 1400. Taking all things into consideration, we have done far better than we did at the general election in 1840. At the Guber natorial election in 1841, Mr. Banks' majority was only 707 and the greater part of our county ticket was defeated. Since then we have had to contend with all kinds of schemes, tricks and humbugs, re sorted to by the Locofoco party and unprincipled and restless spirits in our own ; and this fall they united with a determination to break down our or ganization. The Whigs and Antirnasons are not discouraged by the result of the late election. On the contrary, they are in fine spirits, ready to give another fire on the lst of November which will bring down the dark flag of Locofocoism in Pennsylvania. On that day Old Huntingdon will send forth her 1800 majority for the Clay and Frelinghuysen electoral ticket; and Pennsylvania will be redeemed. "LOOK OUT !!" said the Globe of the 2nd, , A coon committee is now travelling the Southern portion of the county, and from the character of some of them we are convinced that nothing will be loft undone to slander, vilify, and calumniate the candidates of the democratic party. Let the people beware of them; they are for moat part the hangers on, and lazaroni that feed on the Willa of Sheriff patronage, and feeling that their bread and butter is at stake, they will lie with an appetite, and slander with a zest whetted by fear of losing place. Their throat for falsehood is equal in di mension to the whale that swallowed Jonah." Yes, "look out." The above language was ap plied to Messrs. A. W. Benedict, D. Blair and A. K. Cornyn, who were then addressing meetings in Hopewell, Tod, Springfield and Cromwell town. ships, in the "southern portion of the county." "Look out," and "look ye over yonder"—Hope well gave a vote of two to one for the Whig candi dates, Tod more, Springfield nearly five to one, and Cromwell nearly three to one and the four townships have rebuked theurrrarricretsn SLAN DERERS who control the Globe, with a united majority of upwards of 300 for the Whig ticket. Look out on the lad of November. Polk against Revolutionary Patriots. 'Polk agamst Revolutionary Soldiers' is the heading of a lying article in the last ' , Journal." A more wanton, libellous slander than this was never propagated, and just such things as it of the Jour nal would endorse." We extract the above from the last Globe, pub lished before the general election. We know that the Locofocos hate to be told about Mr. Polk's Tory ancestry, and his own opposition to granting pensions to the Revolutionary Patriots; but we did not expect to find any Locofoco—not even our neighbor of the Globe—with face enough to give a flat denial to facts which are matters of record, and therefore incapable of any plausible denial. Notwithstanding the "lying article" in the last Globe, we shall KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That on the passage of the bill, March 13, 1828, for the relief of surviving officers of the revolution. ary war, Mr. Polk voted IN THE NEGATIVE. Cong. Deb., vol. 4, part 2, page 2,660. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That March 18, 1830, ho voted AGAINST the; revolutionary pension bill.—Same, vol. 5, part 1 , page 620. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That, March 19, " Mr. Polk spoke some time against the bill," and voted against it.—Same, page 635. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That, Febuary '7, 1831, he voted against the bill for the relief of revolutionary soldiers.—Same, vol. 7, page„ 740. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, That, May 2, 1832, he voted against the revolu tionary pension bill.—Same, vol. 8, part 2, page 2,713. The evidence we have of the above facts, so un pleasant to Locofoco editors and orators, in contain ed in the Journals of the Lower House of Congress, above referred to. They may be seen in this bo rough. They belonged to the late Robert Allison, Esq. Let all who have doubts, examine the re cords and see for themselves. We make no assertions without backing them up with proof. Let the Globd remember that. THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL." The lying Globe of this morning contains a long article under this head, in which among sundry other very ridiculous things it accuses us of issuing two editions of our paper last week—one for the country, full of glorification, &c., and another for the town, which is " mum." Mark how plain a tale shall set the Globe straight. On Friday evening we issued a half sheet, dated Saturday the 12th, which was sent to subscribers on the Shirleysburg mail route, in which we had some remarks on the Gubernatorial election. That mail closes on Friday night. On Saturday morn ing in order to insert the returns we received by the previous evening's mail, we took out said remarks. The name paper, with this alteration, was published and sent around the town arid to the country on Saturday the 12th.

The sun was fast setting behind the gilded hor izon—illuminating the dazzling firmament with a flood of molten gold—soft and placid as a mirror the unruffled lake rested in its capacious bosom —the unbroken stillness and harmony of the for est was redolent of peace.—A band of sweet choris ters poured forth their sweetest notes, and all na ture seemed to be alive with the inspiration of the season, when Thaddeus Stevens furnished John Blanchard with a recipe for an election to Con gress,—viz.! . . _ ~ Throw conscience to the Devil!" He (Dr. Henderson) is opposed to a great marn tooth BRITISH BANK. Opposed to a distri bution, which gives to the rich dollars, and to the poor farthings. JOHN BLANCHARD is the bona fide embodiment of Federalism—reared on federal soil, brought up under tory influence, it has been his delight to re late-how he and his federal chums were accustomed to browbeat the few democratic boys at the old Federal college, and to use his own language —" poor fellows they had a dog's life of it." There and then he imbibed ell the federal notions and doctrines of the elder Adorns, Alex. Hamilton, the Otis' Ames' &c. &c. there grew with his growth, and as all his friends, know have strengthened with his years,—so that at this day he is found to be the reservoir of all the federal schemes which have ever been promulgated —the exponent of the sublimated doctrines of the Hartford Convention. He is in favor of so restricting the right of suf. frage that the poor man who is not a rand holder will be deprived of his vote ; and so as to exclude the foreigner or his descendants from the inestima ble right of suffrage--a revival of the odious Alien and Sedition Law. He is in favor of a monster BRITISH BANK, with a capital of fifty millions of dollars, to be lo cated at Washington City, to overawe Congress, to be controlled by nine individuals—on institution which could, if in operation, at almost any moment, arrest the wheels of government, depress the prices of produce, and bring to its own terms the govern ment as well as the people: The party to which he adheres, and the men bywhom he received his first political impressions were opposed to the late war—rejoiced in British victories, made bonfires and illuminated their houses when the news of the defeat of the American forces reached them.

CONGRESS. The coons s eem, it is _ only pretence, to be in good spirts, and have some faintl'opes of carrying their federal yankee lawyer, from down east"— We can promise our friends in the other counties that blue WE, honest John can't begin to run Irvin's vote in Huntingdon. The fact is the tables have changed. The enthusiasm which elected Irvin, has now got to our side, and the whole cry here is, "get out de way," wid your Yankee lawyer —burnt for Capt. Henderson, the hero of Lundy's lane, Chippewa and fort Eric! The Centre county exponent of Hartford Conventionism may get 500 majority in Old Huntingdon, but we think no more, and as .to Centre county, what say you, brother Shugert, how much? Shall we put down for you 1600, 1200, certainly not Ices. Mifflin 300, Juniata, 250, in all 1750, leaving 1250 majority for Captain Henderson. He ought to beat his yan kee opponent 2000, and by hard work can. (c,. The above paragraphs, though somewnat de sultory, must be admitted to be decidedly rich!
