&mos Coueccren.—According to the original
draft of the new pottage MIL newspapers were to
be carried free of postage to any office in the coun
ty in which they were published, and limited to thir
ty miles only when sent out of the county. But it
was subsequently so emended that they can be car
ried free of postage only thirty ntiles, whether in or
out of the county in which they uro published.
VT We are requested to state that tho Ladles of
the Presbyterian Church will hold a sale of unoftil
and fancy article., in this borough, during the en
suing August Court, for the purpose of raising
funds to purchase furniture for the new Church.

Another Murder.
We are pained to record another deed of violence
and bloodshed in this .county. Mill Cteek, six
miles frOm this borough,tvas the•acenc of a bloody
massacre on Thursday evening of last week.
James Gaiferill, a character of soma notoriety in
this neighborhood, got into a quarrel with a man
named Hessler, about a few cents which a friend or
relation of the latter owed the former. Gatrerty
shortly afterwards took a gun and walked out to
where Hessler was working, end deliberately shot
hirn. The ball passed through one of the arms,
near the shoulder, entered the breast, took a down
ward direction, and lodged in the body, centring
death the next evening. Gafferty was immediately
arrested and committed to prison. He will proba
bly be tried at the August term.
Whig Organization.
We hope that the Vi higs of this county will not
favor any disorganizing movements with reference
to the approaching general election. There is no
satiny except in regular nominations, fairly made.
We hope, therefore, that the party will, as hereto
fore, nominate candidates for all the offices to be
filled. Let good men, of sound and unwavering
Whig principles and undoubted qualificatione, be
nominated, and the integrity of the party will be
•
maintained, end success jounced.
Huntingdon remalo Seminary.
We hear but one sentiment—universal approba
tion—expressed in reference to the late examination
at this valuable institution, under the charge of
Miss Howe. We had not the gratification of a
personal attendance, as had our correspondent, who
spoke in last week's paper, in high terms, of the
exercises; but we know that the examination has
called forth much praise upon the teacher and pu
pils, front all who witnessed it.
We cannot refrain from again congratulating the
citizens of the borough and county of Huntingdon
on the possession of so excellent a teacher us the
present one has proved herself. The pleasures, the
comforts, and the securities of home need not be
sacrificed by sending daughters and wards abroad
1 among stranger. for the purpose of receiving an ed
ucation, where the facilities are not so great as here.
This consideration, alone, ought to induce parents
end guardians to patronize the Huntingdon Female
I Seminary.

before the election. The defendants put nn the re
cord a plea of justification, and they PROVED IT
SO CLEARLY, BY A HOST OF LOCOFOCO
WITNESSES, that the jury had no difficulty in
giving a verdict in their favor, and leaving Mr. Cos
tigan all the costs to pay. Not only the fact, but
the illegal purpose, wee clearly brought home te

cognizant of his doings at the time. But they said
nothing, until compelled to speak in Court.

The new Postage Law.
Thompson'a Bank Mote Reporter, a paper of
much value, furnishes us with the following inter
esting analysis of the rates of postage under the
new law, which went into operation on the.lot
The henvy postage irndeuthe old law wee a sol loos
tax upon our pockets, sad plovented the carriage
of much matter which can new be mailed at a tri..
fling cost. and it also affords every facility of mend
ing , frocks, handkerchiefs," &c. &c., which arelux
uries that could not be enjoyed under tho old law.
'Qne dollar and fifteen cents of American coin
age, in !laver, weighs one ounce. A fifty cent
piece and a five cent piece (say 55 cents.) are al
moat equal to half an ounce.
Those who wish to ascertain what their postage
will be, ran with silver change weigh the pap°rs
before folding their letter.
We have made a variety of experiments, and
give the results below: cents.

be no postage.
- •We trust says the last New York Tri
bune, that we shall now hear nothing more of
'llores rotting in a cell,' &c.—The Loeofocos tri
ed all they could to make capital out of hint. They
said he sh,,uld not come out of prison till his polit
col privileges were restored. Now he is compelled
to come out, and the Locofoco party bold a jubilee
over the very transaction which they said should
not take place.—This shows that they were not sin
cere in insisting that he should stay in prison till
his forfeited rights were restored, or they would not
now rejoice over his exit before ouch restoration.
E'r The great Southern anti-slavery convention
ea it has been styled, which recently assembled at
Cincinnati, selected Mr. BIUNKT, the late candidate
for the Presidency of the union, to preside over
their deliberations. Thirteen resolutions were adop
ted by the convention. One of which was, that it
is the duty of political abolitionists to continue
their organizstion and to nominate candidates for
the elective offices, but that no nomination be made
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency before the
fall of 1847, or the sprang of 1948.
Not a word is said in the resolutions, about the
annexation of Texas !

Register and Recorder.
Mn. PAINTER:--
As the time will soon be at hand for preliminary
arrangonients to nominate candidates to fill the
respective offices at the neat general election, I
take the liberty of submitting a single euggestion to
the electors who attend to this matter—and that is
—to permit the man I ant about to name (JACOB
MILLER, of Huntingdon) for the offices of Reg.
inter, Recorder, &c., to be the only real candidate •
for those offices. I suggest this course, because Me.
Mille: is not a noisy partizan, consequently Gould
not expect a nomination as such, from either of the
prrties of the day. He is, however, known to he a
Whrg in principle and practice, as he exemplifird
as an officer of a Volunteer Company, at !Jurist°
during the last IVar; and altho' in affluence at
that period, has since, by misfortune., over which
he had no control, become poor, and merits this
boon for his post good conduct.
, Without intending the least disparagement to
the amiable, correct officer (Mr. Reed) we now have,
(who I have understood is disposed to retire from
the duties of the office) Mr. Miller's quslifications
and demeanor, will warrant the assurance, that he
would make as good ant ufficeras we have ever had-

Censorship of the Press.
A very curious and somewhat important teatime
of suppression of Me t,uth has recently occurred
in the Washington Union, the special Eteeuti,e
organ. That paper on Friday oontined the follow
ing notice of the meeting of the •Democratic Ae
sociation" of that city, on Thum,ley evening to
take measures to pay respect to the memory of Gen.
Jackson
"Tile association met purausta to adjournment,
John C. Rives, Esq., presidont elect, presented him
self, and yeas regularly iristafled, Being conducted
to the Chair ho rose and deli.. ed on wicks,
'rho President having to leave the Chair to
mako a report, requested Robert Coltman, Esq.,
Vice President to take the chair,
"On motion by Mr. Ward, the Secretary was re
quested to solicit the remarks of the President for
publication."
Then follows the "Tribute of Respect" which
was paid by the meeting to Gen. Jhelum:l'a memo
ry—but nothing :whatever of tho address of Mr.
Rives appears. We are informed however on very
reliable authority, that a copy of his address wan
furnished for publication;' and that it was in type
and about to be put to press in the Unison, when it
was accidentally discovered by the businees : partner
of that paper, who stopped the press and posted to
the editor. That gentleman, in turn, posted off
to the President, who summoned to council his of
ficial advisers. The speech was laid before him,
and the result of their deliberation may be inferred
from the fucf, that the speech of Mr. Rives, though
in type at the Union office, has never appeared to
that or any other paper. It was decided by the Ex
ecutive authority that certain facts should not Lo
laid before the public, and forthwith the press is
muzzled! The censorship of the press in A uatsis,
in Italy, in Cuba and other countries, ruled by the
will of Individuals, has long been a theme of dem
ocratic reproach and denunciation: but it never sur
: passed this instunce on the part of our 'democratic'
rulers.
The remarks thus suppressed by an Executive
mandate. were of gettersl interest and will yet, wo
are persuaded, see the Y. Courier.
Philadelphia Post Office.
The Philadelphia Spirit of the Times complains
that under the now postage law, the revenue receiv
ed at the post office in that city will not pay the
expenses, and that the Clerks will have to submit
to the great inconvenience of waiting for on appro
priation by Congress, for a part of their salaries.—
How palpably does such complaint exhibit the eye
torn followed by the Locofecos to the utmost extent
of quartering political favorites upon the people !
How ninny of the Clerks in the Post Office, and
the various branches of the Contour House in Phil
adelphia, who receive large salaries, do not reorder
one hour of official service in twenty , four! who are
salaried for their partizan service, not their services
to the public; and who are to be found at all hours
of the day and night at places of amusement and
dissipation! Why are not these supernumeraries
Icut off under the reform system!! Why aro not the
It number of clerks reduced to the number absolutely
needed, and those thus made to render some service
for the money received from the Government? It
! is high time that the system of party plunder carried
! on against the Government Tressury, which is fill
ed by the industry of the people, should be lures
ted; and when application is made to the next Con
gress, to appropriate money to meet the salaries of
unnecessary and useless Clerks, we hope that some
proper and resolute spirit will be found there, who
will probe the whole rotten system, ao.d expose it to
the indignation of all. But we assure the Times
! and every other opponent of the reduction of pos.
tags that all attempts to change it back will
be in vain. The people will never submit to
it, and Post Masters shot.ld dismiss all their
drones, in season, for they may calculate upon a
searching examination into official acts. It is mon.
atrous impudence and falsehood to say that the re
ceipts of the Philadelphia Post Office will not pay
the expenses, if properly managed.—Patera. Mc
! graph.
More disregarding of the Post
Office Law.
The Spirit of the Times says ;
"The Deputy Postmasters have resigned so nu
merously on account of the inadequate salaries af
forded by the new Poet Office law, that the Port
Master General hes been compelled to take advice
of the Attorney General, as to the true construction
of the law, and has in consequence, ordered that
the Deputy Pool:meters be paid, the ongoing year,
the same compensation which they had received
during the lan year. 'That it right."
here is another pretence made for the purpose of
overstepping the late law to reward partizans. and
render it odious. But it is all pretence. As far as
we con learn, there are as marry eager applicants for
the Port Offices, small and large, or ever—and not
a single Whig that we know of in this sect ion of
the State but what hes been removed by Polk, to
make room fire a Locefoco. Does this look as if
.the Deputy Postmasters have resigned so numerous
iy on account of inadequate oalsries,' that the Post
Master General has been compelled to violate the
low to gratify their thirst for the spoils. Besides it
is well known that the deputies at the smallest class
I of Pool Offices receive higher compensation under
I the new law than they did under the old. No
Pootruarter now receivea less than f 25, whether
one-fourth of that amount is taken at the office or
I not.
It is well known also that the Post Master Gener
al and all the hangers on 'bout the department all
over the Union, are, and always have been oppoaed
to the reduction of postage.—They feared that it
would eventually prove the death knell to their sys
tem of plunder, idleness and pleasure; and we are
not astonished to see the hue and cry set up by the
press in their control. with tho view to prepare the
way to its repeal. But they may set their hearts at
rest on the subject, fur rite postage will never be in
creased above the present rates; on the contrary, it
is destined to be lowered, and in a short time, float
its present rate*. Of this we have not a doubt.--

pretend to be in furor of the policy • which has dif.l

at Washington, have rmoltrd that , •ertions Whig

tors have a difficult task to perform, n placing them
' conflicting news helm e the faithful, eo as not to
shock their common eerier and wholly addle their
brains. It is no unueal thing to ere, in the same
paper, articles in one column claiming the credit of
the Tariff, and its results for those now in power,
and in the very neat eerie a paragraph denouncing
the imagine and its advocates as anti-democratic and
altogether Whiggish! They must have unbounded
confidence in the stupidity or docility of their Tea
; dere.
A locofoco paper at West Cheater publishes the
Tariff mandbato of the anti-Cameron Legislators
with marks of approbation,—and jeers at Whig ap
prehensions, in a paragraph headed "Polk ruin,"
because the Tariff is yet in beneficial operation, al
though threatened with repeal: yet, in the adjoining
column, the editor appleuda the following passage
from another Locofoco poster :
'lf there was nothing else to make a radical dem
ocrat reject Gen. Cameron, his letter to the Legis
lature, decl rink' himself in furor of the Thriff
of 1842, and of the distribution scheme, would be
3tcfficie../. '
This is a temple of the manner in which "the
Democracy" are Continually bamboozled by their un
principled managers. The grossest contradictions
ate than daily palmed upon them, apparently with
out appreheneion that the insult will be perceived.

those whom he falsely betrayal. They try to get
out of the serape by stating that the robbers were

traitor had not previously thrown himself into their

HORSES AND WIVES,
A mar. in Mercer county, N. J., who pleaded
guilty to an indictment for horse steeling, was Fell
termed to two yi are imprisonment; another, who
pleaded guilty• to whipping his wife, wan sentenced
to six mrinths.—Bor/ington
Well, the horse did hod belong to the person who
stole it, and the woman did belong. to the man who
beat her; and the Duke of Newcastle once trium
phantly asked, .411,e I not a light to do as I please
with my own?" Besides, it will be found that the
penalties of an act are generally in proportion to
the character and condition of the otter. Thus, if
an ass had bitten or kicked the mans wife, donkey
would have been neither imprisoned nor fined.
Thus it will he seen that had the husband who
beat his wife, advanced one step forward in his pro
gress towards brutality, he would have ' , seeped t von
his nix months imprisonment.—U. S. Goz.

with careen beyond a paralell. It hoe ham turd
for diseases of the client, consumption, liver com
plaint. and the most dangerous and internal maledier.
It has been used in cases of extreme peril and haz
ard. involving the utmost danger and responsibility
and not in one single case has it failed to benefit,
when the patient was within the reach of mortal

complaints. On the contrary, I have had hundreds
return voluntarily, and in the warmest and most
pathetic language speak in its praise.

of the Gospel. Judges of the bench, aldermen end
lawyers, gentlemen of the highest erudition, and
