Jas. Burn., of Minn' county, hie been
nominated by the LocofocOe, tdr the office of Ca

man from Lewistown, that Mr. stwin■ ran write
his name, and that his business cricUieltY is tide

MANIILICORTER.—The trial of Shamherger, Cal

in such a manner that he died of the injuries he
received, tart winter in Harrisburg, took place in
Harrisburg last week, and resulted in a verdict of
voluntary manslaughter. They were sentenced to
two years in the Eastern Penitentiary.
iZ-We caution the Whigs to be on their guard
against the lies that are now being circulated by
Locofoco candidates arid their friends in every
,ction of the county. These same men told you
that Jas. K. Polk was in favor of the Tariff of 1842,
and knew they were lying when they said so.
They succedeil with Polk, and they now are trying
to lie themselves into office.
Prothonotary,
Then has been a report put in circulation by the
enemies of the Vi candidate for this office, that
in the event of hie election the duties would be
performed by another person. This statement we
pronounce, on the authority of JAM.B STOOL, him
self, false. And we believe Km anthers knew it to
eO, or else they do nut know the me. Mr.
'u• did rot ark the nomination, but as the Con
•n otion conferred it upon him, he would scorn to
and ePed , the people, by lend2ng h is

Since the above was itr type, we have been shown
a letter rece'rved by Major Steel', front a friend in
Ennisville, dating that a "son of the Loccifoca can
didate waecirculating a story in that place, that If
Mr. Steel' woe elected he would dispose of the office
to Theo. H. Greiner, Esq." This story, for the
satisfaction of all Concerned, Mr. Steel pronounces
basely false. If the person alluded to in the letter
le circularity a story of this kind, we can assure
him that it will only recoil upon lumeelf, as JAMES
STEEL is too well known to have hie character im

Alexander Gwin, Esq.
We hold now, as we have ever held, that the
people, whose suffrages ere solicited for any office
—more especially fir a legislative office—have a
right to know woo and WHAT their candidates
are, as regards general and local measures, in which
their constituents have an interest; Acting upon
this principle, we have charged the friends of the
candidate whose name heads this article, (to say
nothing of himself) with eoncealmeitta of his views
and principles. For this we have incurred the de
nunciation of the LocofOco papers of this el,unty,
Who sing unceasing horiannahe to Mr. but
persist fit "keeping dark" as to what itls views are
on any subject, whether connected. with thocounty,
state or nation. Now, we e,,k again, in the unso
phisticated aimplir. r ay of our nature, is this fair—ii
it honarabfr, It is a silly humbug on the part of
the Lo'-ofoco editors to effect that they do not un
tir:stami ue—and to set them and all others straight
ou ihat point, we repeat again that We e arenot ask
ing information for o
Arael—it is sufficient for us to
know that Mr. Groin end the rest of hit ticket are
Locofocos, and nominated as such—it is for that
(independent of other considerations) that we
would oppoise them ; it is enough for us to know
that they are leaders of that party which, in the
language of prominent members of it, "is held
together by the cohesive power of public plunder,"
and declares in piratical language, "that to the Vic
tors belong the spoils"—that party *hole chief
weapon is fuhehood and detradtidft•L:—ivho practise
fraud and stop short of no means, however base,
to acetithPilith us ends, and secure "the cohesive
power of public plunder." To know this, we say,
is enough for us--amply sufficient to secure our
opposition to them; but we want than skulking
editors and leaders to act fairly towards the rus
tic--to enlighten their own partizans, and abandon
their attempts to delude ours as to *no and weir
the Locofoco candidates ate. the people—the
sovereigns --or in Locoftko Parlance, the dear
people," have a right to know what their legisla
tors will advocate and what Oppose; and he who
conceals any part of this practices a fraud upon
them—a fraud little, if any, less wicked than he
who misreptetents facts to them.
The Whig candidates for Assembly are in favor
of the Tariff of 1642, as it it ; and if eleaed will
vote for instructing our &inters and requesting our
Repreeentatives in Congress to oppose the contem
plated reduction of the Tariff to the revenue stand
ard. Mr. Gwin, we have very good reason to be
lieve, is in favor of a reduction, and would there
rote advocate it with whatever ability he poetesses,
and his mouth-piece, the Globe, ascribes much to
him. Will the Locofoco presses have the candor
to say yea or stay to this? Will they say whether
he is for the Tariff of 1842, or against it"!
Our candidates are opposed to the thrice defeated
Sub-treasury system, which the National Admin.
Istration intends to establish as the system of the
IA th, ..kkvibce . esinuinaMe 'are ih toner df this
abominable system and will support it as a matter
of course. What say you—yea or nay?
The former are in favor of the Distribution of
the proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands, and
will advocate that measure--the latter are opposed
to it.
The Whig candidates are in favor of selling the
Public Work., and thus reducing taxation, where
by the hard earnings of the farmer, the mechanic
and all classes, are forced from them, to be equan
tiered in extravagance and to enrich the officers on
those works. We believe the Imcofoco candidates
to be opposed to selling the source of so much of
the "cohesive power," and in favor cf continuing
the "'Toils" for the Burris' and other faithful al
moners of the " public plunder." Arc we right in
our belief, genliereen I Are ye for or against the
sale of the Public Work.?
Last and least important, Hobert A. Maturtrie,
one of our candidate. is in favor of the division'of
the county, and Henry Brewster, the other, is op
posed to that measure, an we have stated over and
over again (the assertion of the Globe to the con
ifary notwithstanding.) We have it on the very
best of authority, that Mr. Gwin is in favor of the
division of the county, and Henry L. Patterson if
acknoWledged to be so, even by iho Locofoco
presses. NoW we Want the mouth.piece of our
friend "Antis" to say %illiellaet Air. Gwir. is for
or whether he is against this nieatihre. We dO not
intend to let our neighbor of the Glebe Off with
his convenient plea of "perfect indifference," al
though he has been a few weeks longer in the
county than ourself. Our neighbor may not care;
but we enure him of what he already knows, that
it is not tt matter of perfect indifference" to the
Citizens of the county, whether the county is divided
or not. THEY want to know how "Janus" is in
reality. They cannot Understand a man who is for
a measure In the Upper end; against it in the totter
end; and both for end against it ih the middle por
tion of the county. Do just have the "presump
tion to tell."
As the people have An Undoubted right to know
all about there questions, we call upon the Locofoco
e, , itoee first, and on the candidate at the head of
this a: title next, to tell how he will Oct with refer
ence then; to if elected—or whether, in the, Conve
nient languo.ze Of our neighbor, they are all "mat
ters of perfect indifference to him." Do telh--no
one will blame you with preatimptuousnen.
rj^Whenever we pat a question to the Locofo
co party inrregard to their ondidates for public of
fice, their gentiernanly and re,:erable editors reply
by telling no that we are "only thr:e weeks in the
county"—" nsvity imported editor," tkc. dtc.; and
they appear to think by Met triumphant flourishes,
that every body ought to be satisfied with theic ex-
planations. Our readers were fold in our first
number that we bad just acne into the county, and
if our Locofoco neighbors feel desirous 11 giving
this information to theirs in every number they
issue, we have no objection to them doing so'
There is another item, gentlemen, that you may
give in connection; that is, that we intend staying
with you for some time.

Standard, referred us to " our maste're of the Spread

mention this to allow out 'readers how these gentie•
Inn. are trying to cn:iduct this campaign. This
Chit has been co. Vied into existence by the fruitful
imaginatioin of the editors of the Standard, it being
the fire intimation we had that such a Club was
in existence. The idea of us being under the con
! trot el a master, was suggested, no doubt, by their
own unenviable position,.hound down as they are,
by the cools manufactured by JaMeti M. Dell, Esq.
These men, who were AFRAID to tell tbe„people
to elect deprgates to form a cniinty 'ticket, fearing
. . ,
if they did an, that the interests of their master
might not be co . well attended to, en if they would

who DARt not tell the people What their candi

ty I Do you not knoW that he went to Harrisburg
tact winter as the avowed opponent of division,
and while there turned traitor to hie friends end
neighbera, and secretly favored that meaeurel Yes,
you do know it, but dare not avow it. We stated
fearlessly in our first number after the noininations,
What holh our candidates were, without over con
sulting the candidates or any one elec. The mis
erable slaves of James M. Dell, who charge us with
being under the control of " masters," only dare
"hope;' in one end of the county, and in the oth'er
they are " - Perree6, indifferent" as to what their
candidates are.. They know, they say, they are
good locofocos, and that is all they care tor. They
know also, we suppose, that they will suit their
master, as he generally prefers to have men without
either principles or conscience in his employ.
We did " hopee ' that the questions that we put
to the Loco'loco editors in regard to theireandidates,
would have been treated in a different spirit. We
did not expect they would have been answered by
low, sneaking insinuations in regard to ouisoli; but
if these gentlemen are desirous for this kind of
warfare, we have only to say to them in the lan
guage of Shakspeare—
" Lay on, Afacduff;
And 1--nd be he who first cries, Hold, enough."
But as long as there are questions of vital impor
tance to the people of the county in agitation, we
do not intend to be "perfectly indifferent" on local
matteni. "Are consider it ttie Ely of the press, as
setli : 4fie‘a - 41diseu - '6e4ne - of candidates,
on all questions of importance to them, and the ed

to be a slave.
*iv Globe---IVILi. Ciwin's Influence,
"There is no man in either party who is better
known to the voters of this county than Alexander
Gwin, and particularly, is he known, and his influ
ence appreciated by the Whig', and anti-masons,
who have for years felt that his untiring opposi
tion to their mongrel party, will Making gradual,
hut lasting
.roads into their rotten organization.
The fact is, there is no man whom the democrats
could bring forth, that these ahli-Massonic Whigs
have such a holy horror of as Alet. G il in; there
fore the necessity of them assailing hirh With so
much virulence."
This is the way the Huntingdon Globe an
swers the inquiry who and what Alexander Gwin
is. That paper has not the manliness to tell its
readers where its candidate stands with reference to
general or local politics, but falls back upon his
Sampson-like political strength. WC have EI "holy
horror of" him, We are told, because of his Unti
ring opposition to our party, into which he has
been "making gradual, but hutting roads' This
sounds very well; don't it, venerable sage of the
Globe? But let us compare it With fists, and you
shall see the greatness of your candidate, as well
as your own gooSinels. you will not
deny that this place is the home of your great can
didate, and that his influence is chiefly exerted in
this election district, where ell his demagogireical
dperatiOns are started. Let its take tip the "re
turns" neat, ad that vii) ritey apfiriciale his in
fluence, as you have if;slid that these everlasting
rough "roads" into our "rotten organization" may
be seen. We will begin with 1839. In that year
the Locofocos carried the district by a majority of
174 votes, and came within about 200 votes of
beating us in the county. At the Presidential
election in 1840 your greet and influential candi
date en fdr Me candidate, Mr. Van Buren, 45! ma

very Ajax of a candidate, Who exerted eVEr`Y reliable

Now, venerable youth, is not this an awful speci
men of "Making ravine, but lasting roads" into
our organization? Tfuly the Whlgo ought to
have a holy horror of a man who has been enzurte
ye on them in such a way !!!
So much of past history—now for a little edito
rial prophecy. At the next election there will be a
Majdrity against Alexander Gwin, Esq. in this dis
trict. Stick a pin there, and mark it.

2. That Americans who excite, or direct, or

to their country and their race.
h. That the actors and abettors of the recent
mob proceeding at Lexington, against the printing
establishment of the True American, must not ex
pect to divert from themselves the just condemnation
of impartial men by perverse misconstructions of
the language of its editor or correspondents; the
invasion of private rights by the brute force of a
mob, for the purpose—doubly criminal and doubly

personal hate, especially of a brave man, prostrated

HUNTINGDON JOURNAL.
IT is.a fact admitted by every one, that
the "HUNTINGDON JOURNAL" has
been a faithful and efficient aid to the Whig
and Antimasonio cause in Huntingdon coun
ty. Believing that its influence and useful.
ness may be made still e . reater, we issue this
short Prospectus for the purpose of ii.creas
ing and extendmg.its circulation to that end.
The paper will coninue as heretofore to
advocate Whig principles with whatever
ability we may possess, and with the assist
ance of correspondents in the county and
abroad ; and-whether iticesi or defeat shall
follow our efforts, we. shnll lit the latt man
to fly from our standard, or abate in ardor
for the glorious cause in which we have en
gaged. During this campaign, (and we
trust all others) we shall go—"heart and pen,
hand and vote—tor the regular Whig and
Antimasonic tickets the whole ticket, and
nothing but the ticket, and urge all others
to do likewise.
Although. politics shall form a prominent
feature of ourpaper, it shail.not be the only
one. Its colnais. shall from time to time,
and at all times. he well stored with inter
esting and useful information to the Farmer.
the Mechanic, the Manufacturer, theMer
chant..and to all classes of business men in
the country. •
lVe believe it will be acknowledged that
the paper has Improved in appearance and
in quantity of piatter sinte it has been Wider
our control. We promise to improve It still
farther if we get sufficient help in the way
of new subscribers, to wartant the under
taking.
We hops our friends will be active in ob
taining new subscribers—our circulation
should and must be increased. p.m, Whig
and Antimason hi the county oug ht to hare

is found too poor, another who is able ought
to procure it for hits: And it *rink! not by'
any means hurt our Locoloto frlenda to sub

TUSCARORA ACA •
H IS flourishing instittitiort is situated in
I TtiScarbra Valley; Juniata county; Pa.,
8 miles south-west of Alifflintown t It has
been in successful operation for several
years ; and is believed to be equal to any
Academy in the State, in affording facilities
to Young men fur acquiring a thorough
academical education, either for business or
for College. Being situated in a very Plea
ant and healthful neighborhood in the coun
try, the pupitsare removed from those temp
tations to idleness, dissipation and vice.
which are the bane of similar institutions lb
town.
The buildings are large and commodious,
sufficient to accommodate a large number , ,
and pupils from a distance are required to
hoard in the institution with the Principal.
But if it is desired by their parentiii good
boarding can be obtained in theneighborhocid
of the Academy.

The academical year is divided into two
sessions of 22 weeks each; and each session
into two quarters of 11 weeks each. 27.0ne

when the
pupil enters ; and all bills must be paid off
before he leaves the Academy ; otherwise
7 per cent. on the whore bill for the quarter
will be added. No dedUction for absence
during the quarter unless caused, by sickness.
The very best testimonials can be given,
both as fo the scholarship and ability of the
Ptincipal and his long experience in the
profession entitles him to the confidence of
the public.
The vacations occur in April and October,
and the next winter session will commence
