THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL.
The Harrisburg iraelligencer says We per
ceive that some of our Whig contemporaries are
disposed to doubt the policy of the course pursued
by the Whig members of the Legislature in the re
cent election for U. S. Senator. If those editors,
and our Whig friends generally will reflect that the
issue was directly presented in the candidates be
' tween Free Trude and the Tariff of 1842, they
can have no difficulty in making up their minds as
to the course the Whigs should have adopted under
the circumstances. There was no doubt in the
minds of the h\ higs in regard to the position of Mr.

MILEAGR.-- , Oliver Oldschoor says, in a recent

the McNulty school, charge. four hundred dollars
more mileage than Mr. Smith. a whig member from
that State, although Kennedy's residence is but
thirty miles farther from the Seat of Government
than Smith's. The democratic member computes
his mileage by way of Lake Erie, Buffalo, &c., a
rout he never travels, while the Whig member char
ges according to the giounKl he actually goes over.
While Mr. Kennedy's mouth is ever full of profes

care that his pocket. shall be full of their money.
But this species of affection for the people , ts the

Advertising.
We copy the following from the Germantown
Telegraph. The remarks apply with equal force so
for as the " JoonsAL" is concerned. Business
men, here and elsewhere, read and profit by it.—
The editor of the Telegraph says:
° There is scarcely a day ',wises in which we do
not receive some testimonial of the advantages of
advertising in the Telegraph; and indeed we could
now publish a column of them if we were so in
clined and our space would admit of it. The fol
lowing, however, from an advertiser in the city, re
ceived a few day. since, is somewhat to the point
and will suffice:—
I have spent some $3OO for advertising since I
opened my store last September, and 'the conse

" Write Him Down," do,

the several factions of the Loco-Foco party are en

publish some of their choice sayings.' The Char

Gov. Skunk's Vetoes.
The Governor seems disposed to walk a little' in
the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor' in the
way of vetoing bills. On Wednesday (the 19th
ult.,) he sent back with his objections a bill which
had passed hoth Houses to 'perfect the validity of
certain records in Cambria and Erie Counties.'—
(What does that mean?) Mr. Msoxiwr,from
the Mountains, assailed the veto with considerable
savageness, and bore so hard on its author that the
Speaker stopped him on the ground that the Gov
ernor was protected by the Constitution from ani
madversion. This caused considerable excitement,
and Mr. Speaker suffered a few' from Messrs. Mx
mum and Comm, insomuch that he had finally
to back out of his arbitrary and superserviceable
decision. Tho veto was sustained, and the bill vo
ted down on Saturday; and the Governor flushed
with success in the first trial,sent back on the same
day a bill relating to the I)uncannon Iron Works,
that it unconstitutionally comprehended two acts of
incorporation. How much wiser a Governor is
than a Legislature.—Pa. Republican.
Appointments to Office.
The U. S. senate adjourned on Thursday before
last, having first been advised by the President that
he had no further business to lay before it. On
Wednesday it rejected the nomination of JOHN H.
Par,Ties to be Marshall of the Northern District
of New York, and WILLIAM Su•Lca, of New
York City, to he consul at Hong Kong in China.
On Thursday it confirmed hcon GooLo of Ro

been named, and Mr. Bran to the Consulship at
Hong Kong. It also confirmed the nomination of
Gen. Turmas CAIIrENT., a leading Dorrite, as
Collector of the Port of Providence, Rhode Island.
The President has appointed Mr. THOMAS B. BIG

We have endeavored to designate the party to
which the officers are respectively adhering, by

unknown to us, and therefore some inaccuracies
may have occulted in the designations.
The Justices marked with an asterisk, thus (•)
are those whose commissions have not yet expired.
Mayor Ot Rochester.
We alluded last week to the highly honorable
conduct of Mr. KEELER, the Locofoco candidate for
Mayor of the City of Rochester, at the recent muni
cipal election: He declined to accept the Mayor
alty when conferred upon him by one vote, wl.ich
was excluded from his competitor in consequence
of its being printed or written J. Allen, instead of
John Allen; Mr. Allen's Castind vote' as Mayor for'
last year, in the City Council, being the cause of
the throwing out of the imperfect ballot. When
Mr. KEELER declined to accept the office, Mr. Az-
LEN had a right to hold on for another year, but he
immediately sent in his resignation to the new City
Council, which , being cemposed of a large majority
of Whigs, elected WILLIAM PiTEIN, Esq.—a firm
Whig, old citizen and highly respected man —to be
Mayor of Rochester for the ensuing year. The con
duct of Measers. Azzzu and KEzzsn is worthy of
special notice in these days of office-hunting greedi
ness and indelicacy.— York Republican.
THE DOG THE BETTER MAN,
It is stated, in one of the Worcester, (Mass.) pa
pers, that a drunken man walking near the railroad
in that place, fell across the track, and there lay.--
He was accompanied by a dog, which, after looking
ab the representative of fallen humanity, immedi
ately betook itself to a tenement in the vicinity, and
by harking and scratching, induced an individual to
open the door and follow it till he came to the place
where the dog's master lay with his head across the
track. The intoxicated man was rescued from his
perilioua situation, and in a few minutes the rail
road care passed the place Master and dog
should forthwith change places—for the dog is the
better man of the two.
The Mexican Indemnity.
A letter in the Richmond Enquirer gives the fol
lowing account of what has become of the missing
installments on the indemnity stipulated to be paid
to this country by Mexico :
" Here are the circumstances of the case, as they
were told to me to-day, by a gentleman on whom I
can rely. The firm of Hargons & Co., in Vera
Cruz and New York, and Voss & Co., in Mexico,
are agents of our go vernment for receiving the money
already stipulated to be paid by Mexico to the Uni
ted States. 'l'rigueros, Santa Anna's late Secretary
of the Treasury, is a principal partner of these firma.
With one hand, as Santa Anna's fiscal agent, he
paid the loot installment ($275,000) into the other,
with which ho wrote a receipt as agent of the U.
S. Government. The money found its way into
his own pocket, and he has absquatidated along
with the rest of his master's Ministers, whose heads
are not safe on their own shoulders if caught within
the Republic of Mexico. Santa Anna's robberies
of the Treasury of his own Government, furnished
him with an illustrious precedent for this robbery of
ours. Our Treasury suffers by this financial ope
ration,' for you will remember ho was sufficiently
patriotic to give his own government a receipt for
the money as United States agent. Thus Congress
. will be forced to appropriate the sum stolen, the
United States being responsible for it to the clai
i manta.
Coenec•rsntsrtc—The Express has the follow
ing paragraph respecting the New York United
States Senator:—
" Mr. D. S. Dickinson is claiming double mileage,
as he has been at Washington under two appoint
ments, the last being made while ho was sitting
under the first! Mr. Mangum declined to certify,
and the Committee of the Judiciary have given an
unanimous opinion that the charge was illegal, and
could not be allowed under the rules of the Senate.
Then Dickenson proposed to leave the affair out to
Daniel Webster. Mr. Mangum agreed, and the
great expounder' gave our craving Senator, an ex
position not at all to his liking. All this is very
pretty business for a Senator of New York! As
Cassius said to Brutus,
--A go ! thou art shamed! Rome! thou hest
Lost thy breed of noble bloods!"
ANTI-SLAT Ell,-The Presbytery of Chillicothe,
Ohio, (Old School,) has odopted a resolution, by a
vote of 25 to 7, declaring that if the General
Assembly at its next meeting, shall refuse or neglect
to take such action as is calculated immediately to
free the church from the sin and scandal of slave
holding, then the Presbytery ought to cease all fur
ther ecclesiastical connection or fellowship with said
Assembly, and that they ought not henceforth to ac
knowledge their authority by sending delegations
to their meetings, or in any way support their pro
slavery organizations with money, which are inten
ded to countenance and extend slaveholding Chris
tianity, until they exert all their power in expelling
the great sin and scandal from the Church.
JEALOUS OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURER: The
merchants of Liverpool, in their memorial to Sir
Robert Peel, say :
The most formidable rival of the British man
ufactures, in this trade, is found in the rapidly in
creasing and improved manufactures of the United
States;" and gave as a proof of the progress of
mmutkctures of the United States, the great in
crease of the export trade to China.
A pamphlet has just been published in London,
urging upon the British Government the necessity
of availing themselves of the triumph of the ants
profcction party in the United States, to engross the
supply of our markets with British manufactures.
It urges, also very strongly, the expediency of re
pealing the duty on raw cotton.—Bolott Atha.

Skunksborough to this place, when the engine and- ,

DREADFUL INUNDATION AND Loss or LIFE.-
A letter from Macao, received by the steamer, gives
a dreadful account of the overflow of rivers in the
north of China. Whole provinces, with popula
tion. respectively larger than some of the second
class kingdoms of Europe, were almost entirely
submerged. The retreat of the waters left corpses
in thousands. Touching episodes are given av a
picture of this awful calamity. On the river Yange-
Tee were found large floating casks, which, when
contained, were discovered to contain the bodies of
young children, whose mothers, when all hope for
them was gone, had committed them to these float
ing arks, as a last slender chance of salvation.--
Upwards of seventeen millions of human beings,
escaped from the inundation, and have poured them
selves over the adjacent provinces, beggared of all
things and crying for bread.
PARDONING COMMENCED nit Got. SIIENK. '
Every one must regret to see the corrupt practices
of Gov. Porter renewed in his successor, Mr. Shunk.
Already has he commenced with an abuse of the
pardoning power. At the Court of Quarter Ses
sions held last week in Greensburg, Lewis Watley
was convicted, upon his OM confession, of robbing
the Sheriff of that county, by entering his office,
and taking therefrom twenty-one handled dollars
or thereabouts. He was sentenced by the Court to
hard labor in the Penitentiary for 2+ years. As
the Sheriff was about to bring him to this place, a
full pardon arrived for the offender from Governor
Shunk, which, it is further confidently believed, was
bargained for, or a promise of it obtained from Mr.
(hunk on his way to Harrisburg for inauguration.
What a glorious country !--How extensive our li
berty ! ! Steal, murder and rob—all shall meet with

she was also in the iron grasp of the law, having
