Sir. Polk.
Without solicitation on my part, I have been

sible office on earth."
The above is the commencement of Mr. Polk's
Inugural Address; and it is a sentence of so am
phibious a character that it is both true and false.—
It is true that Mr. Polk never solicited the office of
President of the United Slates before the Locofoco
Baltimore Convention assembled : he had only faint
ampirations after the office of Vice President, and
never dreamed of such luck as came to him in that
Convention. But has he "been chosen by the free
and voluntary suffrages of his countrymen?" The
famous, or rather infamous Empire Club of New I
York and the stupendous frauds in Plaquemines
and elsewhere cry aloud against the truth of the
President's assertion. Usage restrains the candi
dates fur the Presidency, after nomination, from
personal solicitation far votes; but why did Mt.
Polk give so amphibious an answer to the letter
of John K Kane on the subject of the Tariff; and
afterwards refuse to say yea or nay to interrogato
ries of the " Dickinson Meeting," who wished to
know whether he was for or against the Tariff of
1842 I Was it not for the purpose of drawing
wool over the eyes of the "democracy of Pennsyl
vania" and to catch the votes of the Tariff-men of
the North I
Office liunters.
There has been for a month past an "innumera
ble host" of these disinterested, patriotic gentry at
Washington—to see the President—and our coun
ty and our goodly borough have also had the distin
guished honor of being represented in the federal
city. All the hotels in the city, and throughout the
district, are said to be full, even to bursting, and
"the cry is, still they come !" The " President of
the whole country" is highly honored.
Col. Carter, of the Lancaster Democrat, an out
and-out Locofoco, pays the following compliment
to his brethren :
What the lice of ancient Egypt were to Pha
raoh, so are now the office-beggars to President
Polk. They crawl over his path—attempt to feed
nt the same table—and strive by their numbers to
attract his notice."
This, we suppose, is perfectly right now, although
four years ago, when Whigs flocked to Washing- I
ton to witness the inauguration of President liar-
Aeon, the Locofocos had very delicate stomachs,
and almost went into convulsions at the sight of the
lust for office among the Whigs. And when it
pleased Providence to remove the good President,
these same Locofocos wrung their hands and rolled
their eyes in perfect agony because the Whigs had
caused his death by forcing proscription upon him
and crowding around him with a continual cry of
office ! office ! ! office ! ! !

On Wednesday the 12th, Mr. Cornman moved
that the Senate proceed to the re•cons:derolion of

On motion of Mr. Anderson, on Friday, the vote
of negativing the bill to erect tke county of Blair,
was re-considered and the bill was ordered to be
transcribed, for a third readirig, by a vote of yeas
16, nays 15.
The bill being then taken up on third reading,

Election of United States Senator.
A VICTORY FOR THE TARIFF !
Yesterday [Thursday last,] thetvvo houses of the
Legislature met in Convention to elect a Senator to
fill the vacancy occasioned in the Senate of the
United States, by the resignation of the Honorable
James Buchanan. The Locofocos nominated the
Hon. GEOIIRR W. WOODWARD, of Luzerne coun
ty, a Free Trade man or, in other words, a Polk
Tariff man. The Whigs deemed it prudent to
make no nomination ; it being out of their power to
elect a candidate of their own. On the first ballot,
they voted for various gentlemen of their own party-
The next ballot a number of them cart their votes
for GM. SIMON CAMERON, an out and out TARIFF
TIAN; and pledged besides, to go for a distribution
of the proceeds of the public lands among the
States. On the fifth ballot Gen. Cameron was se
lected; the Whigs voting for him nearly unani
mously. A majority of the Natives, as well as
some sixteen or seventeen tariff democrats, united
with the Whigs in effecting his election.
We regard the election of Gen. Cameron, a de
cided triumph of the protective over the Free Trade
policy; and a Whig victory. One of the moat
distinguished Democrats in the State, we might al
most say in the conntry, remarked on the announce
ment of the result there is no longer a Dem
ocratic party." It certainly argued bad for the
continued ascendency of the party, that there is such
incoherency in it that it cannot be kept together
even by the hope of the spoils of office. * rho
Whigs deserve the thanks of the nation, for detest
, ing the election of George W. Woodward.
We appetld a table of the several ballots:

David R. Porter received five votes on the second
ballot, and one on the third. After the third and
fourth ballots the Locos struggled valiently for an
adjournment, but without avail. They saw they
were doomed, and died in perfect convulsions. We
have never seen a party on any occasion, exhibit
stronger evidences of disappointment, mortification
and chagrin.
On the sth and final ballot, the Senators and
members voted as follows:
Messrs. Babbitt, Carson, Common, Darrell, Dar

Kline, Morrison, Rubs, Ross, Wilcox, (Speaker of

Mr. WALKEii, the Secretary of the Treasury,also
leaves the Senate for a place in the Cabinet. His
appointment is the result of the Texas movement ,
with which ho has been very conspicuously con
nected. His capacity for business is said to he re
spectable, and I have heard him spoken of as a man
of considerable energy. It is,however, universally
conceded, that ho is but illy calculated to bear the
burden of responsibility and care which a substan
tive head of the Treasury Department must under
take. his opinions upon questions of finance and
financial policy cunnot command the confidence of
the country—for nothing can in more crude and
erroneous than they have always been. As a writer,
Mr. WALKER is verbose and inaccurate—without
logic and without method. His speeches are muddy
themes. His essays shallow, but turbid rill. In
reading the one, or the other, the mind will involun
tarily adopt the idea that the author is a bustling
fussy little man, full of self-confidence and self im
portance, but without any real claims to vigor of
intellect or elevation of purpose.

Public Meeting.
A meeting of the citizens of a port of Hender
son township, composed of both political parties,
convened at the Union School-house on Thursday,
the 13th day of March inst„ for the purpose of
nominating township officers for the upper end of
said township, to be supported at the ensuing elec
tion. Tho house being called to order, Copt. D.
THOMPSON ,being appointed chairman end ALsx
Boons, Secretory, when on motion, John Allison,
John Porter, Esq. and M. F. Postlethwait were ap
pointed a committee to draft a preambie and res
olutions expressive of the import of said meeting.
The nominations made were as follows:
For Justice of the Peace—John Porter, Esq.
4 . Overseer of Poor—James Wray.
School Director—John Postlethwait, Sr.
Judge--Caleb Parahall.
. 4 Supervisor—Andrew Allison.
The following arc the resolutions reported by the
committee.
Whereas, We as independent voters of Hender
son township are assembled for the purpose of se
lecting candidates to be supported at the ensuing
township election by the people without distinction
of party, and whereas, it has been represented to
this meeting, that there has been a caucus held at
the Sugar Grove School-house, by a few disaffected
individuals who would wish to control the majority
of the free and independent voters of said township,
and whereas, this faction has nominated candidates
for the different officers of Cris township on strict
party principles without a due regard to the capaci
ty of the nominees for each office. Therefore,
Resolved, That we as citizens of Henderson tp.
disapprove of party feeling entering into our town
ship affairs, especially in regard to the office of
Justice of the Peace—being of a Judicial nature, '
should never be dragged into a political contest, but
should be selected with an eye single to the welfare
of the community at large.
2ndly. That we as citizens of Pennsylvania do
dispise the principle of dictation by factions, and
that we look upon the late nominations as the off
spring of a faction and not of the people.
3rdly. Resolved, that the faction or clique of
Sugar Grove, is not able to control our votes at the
election as we do not wish to be dictated to, or told
that we arc not capable of chosing candidates for
ourselves.
4thly. Resolved, that we use all honorable and
fair means to elect the per/ons nominated at this
meeting.
DAVID THOMPSON, President,
ALEXANDER Bum., Secretary.
We understand that there was an agreement
between the two parties at and previous to the as
sembling of the above meeting, that each party
should furnish half the candidates; but the " un
conquerable democracy," as usual, seized the "van
tage ground" and nominated Locolbcos for all the
offices except Supervisor. The Locofocos not hav
ing performed their part of the agreement, of course
the Whigs do not consider themselves bound to
support the above ticket.—Ed.
Mr. Y'olk's Cabinet.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot gives a
brief sketch of the members composing Mr. Polk's
Cabinet, which we think the best that has yet ap
peared:
There is, I think, a feeling of pretty general dis
appointment at the composition of Mr. POLK ' S Ca
binet. It is not so strong as I expected it would be,
and, indeed, embraces no man of high, command
ing abilities.
Mr. BUCHANAN. the Secretary of State, has been
for many years in Congress. Although he has just
ly a reputation for talents, I ant not aware that he
has ever done anything to distinguish himself as a
public benefactor. No great measure acknowledges
hint as its author. An ardent admirer, it is said, of
1 Mr. CIA e, he never had the moral courage to follow
the example of that illustrious man, and give tone
to the public opinion of his own State, instead of
servilely following and profiting by it. A rank fed
eralist in early life, he was not long in discovering
that a Pennsylvania politician, looking for prefer
ment, would have to adopt the extreme of the Dem
ocratic doctrine, if he would rise to the top of the
wave and maintain himself upon its crest. He
tried the experiment, found it to succeed, and has
ever since practiced the same lesson with the same
results. Mr. BUCHANAN may make a very respec
table Secretary of State, but the future chroniclers of
that part of our history which depends upon the
records of that Department, will not fail to mark
how far he comes short of ADAMS and CLAY and
Wsnwrxn, who were there before hint. It is but
just, however, to say that he is, by far, a safer and
sounder man than his immediate predecessor, Mr.
CALHOUN.
has been in Congress for several years, and is said
to be man of industrious habits,—a quality which is
indispensable in a Postmaster General. It is gen
erally conceded that he is a man of moderate ca•
pelt) , , but better than Mr. WICKLIF the present
incumbent.
Mr. BaNcnorr, w:to has teen nominated for the
Navy Department, was once a parson—an original
whig, turned loco for office, then became an author
--woo Collector of Boston, and intends, it is said,
to be the biographer of General Jackson. In this
lies the secret of his present nomination, which is
violently opposed before the Senate by his own party,
Mr. JOUN Y. MAR. was a district Judge in Vir
ginia, but, not liking the law, became Ty Lmt's Se
cretary of the Navy. He now reluctantly returns
to the low, as Attorney Genial, not being able to
retain his present place. He is said to be a man of
much personal respectability; and ie popular with
the Navy.
It will thus be seen that Mr. Por.x has not, in the
outset of his career as President, manifested the
possession of the great and essential quality of being
a good judge of men. Had he been such, he would
have strengthened himself by calling around him a
Cabinet who would have served to conceal his own
mediocrity. But perhaps, he had that infirmity of
certain minds, which cannot bear the rebuking pre
sence of a superior genius.
STAMBOAT EXPLORIOX.-Ten. Lives Lost ! !
Tho Muscogeo (Ga.) Democrat says, the mail
steamer Syren, Captain Sharply's, playing between
Chattallooche and Apalachicola bay, burst one of
her boilers on Wednesday night last, (the sth inst.)
about midnight, as the boat was rounding out from
Toney's landing and killed at least ten persons, all
belonging to the creew, with the exception of a co
lored boy, who was a passengers. Of the killed, six
were whites and four blacks, and among the former
• a son of Mrs. Tilley of this place—a lad who acted
in the capacity of cabin boy. The captain was
thrown aloft and fell into the water, from which he
escaped unhurt. A lady passenger was rescued
from one of the engineers. One person was saved
by the sinking of the boat, which floated off a
bail of cotton which had been thrown on by the
explosion. We have not heard whether any blame
is attached to the captain or not, but it is generally
conceded that the boilers of the boat were of no ac
count, and should not have been used so long.
A SAD TALEA couple of young fellows arri
ved in Pittsburg on Wednesday evening of week
before last, and took lodgings at the Monongahela
House. Immediately after entering their room they
commenced a run on the bar for punches, which
they kept up until 2 o'clock on Thursday morning,
when the house was alarmed by the cry of murder.
On repairing to their room, the inmates of the house
found on the floor one of the young men, appa
rently dead, with a large gash on his head, his face
beaten and hideously bruised, and the floor covered
with blood. Over him stood his drunken brother,
with the remnants of a chair in his hand, which he
had been beating his brother with. In hts frenzy
he had taken his brother for a robber, and beaten
him nearly to death. The injured party it is tho't
may recover. An awful warning to young men.—
Baltimore Sun.
Mr. Birney and the Whiffe,
A discussion is now going on in the Michigan
papers between Mr. Birney and Hon. J. M. How
ard, of Detroit. Mr. Birney charges the Whigs
with "a conspiracy" in relation to the Garland for
gery, and avers that Mr. Howard was one of the
"conspirators." Mr. H. denies the charge, and in
his reply the following passage occurs
"The professed object of your party is to eman
cipate three millions of human beings from slavery
—an object worthy of a special interposition of
Heaven ! How has it been pursued ? Will the
low arts of the demagogue; assaults upon the private
character ; the little tricks of a paid political harle
quin ; the whining petulent tones of a charlatan,
who has been detected in a dirty transaction; will
these miserable follies break the shackels of the
slave? No, no! What is your position Your
own conscience must answer. Where stands the
man whose greatness of soul and disinterested be
nevolence now brayes the terrors and 4 conspiracies'
of a slaveholding community ) While you have
fled from the same theatre, to the confines of civi
lization' in the county of Saginaw, where stands
Cassius M. Clay, the bravest of the brave,' in the
great contest? Grappling with evil in the midst
of it. When the question was before the people,
whether the national Constitution and energies
should be exerted for the protection and perpetua
tion of African slavery in Texas, he nobly co-ope
rated with the party that opposed it ; while you, at
that critical moment--a moment decisive to the
question for perhaps a century--a moment when
the slave in that country raised his hand imploring
ly to you and your party, to all the friends of hu
manity, for aid, for freedom, for life itself--you then
drew off you forces fiom the field, and knowingly
gave it up to the enemy. Where was the conspi
racy' then? You well knew that if left to them
selves, nine tenth of your followers would vote the
Whig ticket, and thus overthrow that stupendous
plot. You knew that their votes, for James G. Bir
ney would be kg to the great cause. You knew
that this loss would elect Mr. Polk, and gave your
public saliction to the scheme. You knew and saw
with your own eyes, that the democratic party were
anxious you should thus act. They encouraged
you. They saw, the decisive effect in their favor,
of your peraistance in that course. Your labors
were pre-eminently and directly for their benefit.—
You knew it, and they knew it. Take it as you
may—sneer at—ex plain— beeloud--drpreeate--
deny it as you please—this is the evidence of a con
spiracy in favor of Slavery, which no regrets--no
arts—no arguments can ever remove or shake.—
The iron pen of history has engraved it on tablets
snore lasting than brass, more enduring than slave
ry itself ! Take it, sir, lake all the credit of it !

Wiator'n Balsam qf Wit! Cherry.--Whe,
er this medicine is introduced, it at once attains
that high reputation which it so richly deserves.
What can stop its sale, when on every band can be
witnessed its wonderful cures? The worst of
Alamo, recent but dangerous Coug,hr, (nrd also
those that are of long standing.) Bronehtlia, and
Conmstoption, (in its early stages.) ore always cu
red by this remarkable medicine.--Cincionotti In

Dr. Wistar'e Balsam of wild Cherry.—Accor
ding to a number of recommendations in our pos
session from doctors and other individuals, and front
a knowledge of the benefits derived from the use '
of it by some of our neighbors, we respectfully
recommend it to families. We have made use of
the Balsam ourselves, and found that it produced
such effects as recommended.
The genuine, for sale by Thomas Read, Hunt.
ingdon, and Mrs. Mary Orr, Hollidaysburg.
To OCR Raxnans.--It is not often we hove ay
thing to any upon the subject of medicine, but from
the experience we have had in witnessing the nu
onerous cures performed by Brandreth's Pills, we
cannot do less than recommend them to the special
notice of the public.
71n removing pulmonary affections, asthma and
all disorders of the lungs, they are the most
powerful remedy ever found, and the relief they have
afforded, even in the last stage of consumption, inn
without a parallel. With regard to the efficacy in
this baneful, and unfortunately too prevailing diem,
der in this country, (consumption) their superiority
is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
