(3:7- We publish the proceedings of a Scott and Irvin meeting held in this borough, on Saturday evening last. The meeting woe got up and con ducted principally by the young Whigs, and AT accede.dheerfully to the request that the proceed ings be published in the Journal. We conceive it •to he nothing but our duty to record the action of the people, on the subject of who shall be the fu ture candidates of the party. The preamble and Teadlittions breathe the title Whig spirit, and augur well for the success of the cause. The riuntingdim Academy. A public examination Of the pupils in this Msti lotion, under the care of the Rev. G. P. WlLcrxan, took place on Friday last. In the forenoon, classes in Arithmetic, Geometry, Greek, Mathematics, English Grammar and Anthropology, were exam- Ailed; and in the afternoon those in Algebra, Pia 'turd Philosophy, History and Latin. The exer .etses reflected much credit alike upon the tutor and !pupils. This was the first examination since the Academy has been under the present teacher's charge, and we are pleased to say that this exhibi ot his "aptness to teerh" hes luny ossss ss t•he expectations of our citizens. This institution possesses advantages which should attract the attention of all who have boys to educate. Pupils may be accomodeled with board ing, &c., by Mr. Williard, where their morals would not sutler neglect; and this borough is well supplied with churches of all prominent denomina tions, and the sanctity of the Sabbath strictly ob served. The place is healthy, and the Academy !building is well calculated to afford comfort to its 'occupant!, cane last Native Sentinel has about a eel.. 'WWI of low abuse devoted to Henry Peffer, Esq., and the other members of the State Committee, for daring to make a nomination of a candidate for CanallCommissioner for the 155,000 Whig voters of Pennsylvania. 'We can inform the editor of that rabid little sheet, that the Committee acted in accordance with public opinion in making a homi nation, and would have received the hearty thank. of the Whigs everywhere, if they had done DS one month ego. ho is the editor of the Sentinel? We ste the name of our old friend John Till at the head df the paper, as one of the Committee of publication, hut we are confident that ho has nothing to do with the editorials, ao he is, in our opinion, a strict ly honest man. We would advise the editor, who tnrer he is, to let the Whig state Committee attend to their own business, and go on with his fulsome and sickening adulation of Christ. Nisley. On oar outer page will be found an account of the mysterious disappearance of Gough, the cele brated temperance lecturer. We since learn that he bas been found laboring under the effects of some strong etimulent. There is a statement in some of the papers that he had been unfairly dealt with, but as the whole is yet a mystery, we forbear giving any account of it, until Mr. Gough recovers and is capable of speaking for himself. For the eabe of himself, and the cane of which he was the able advocate, we hope be bee not fallen, voluntari ly, from his high position: cCiThe Conferees of Dauphin and Northumber land met at l larrishurg on Friday lest, and nomina ted Beni. JORDAN, Esq., as the Pk frig candidate for Senator in that district. We regret thet the claims of our friend', John H. Berryhill, Esq., have been postponed. The nothination of Mr. Jordan, however, is a good' one. He is an intelligent and respectable farmer, and repiesented the county of Dauphin in the Legislattlre two years ago with credit to himself and his constituents. We hope the Whigs of that district Will rally and trium phantly elect Jim. We learn by a friend from Harriabtirg that the Loeofoeo conferee, of that district met at flimean's Island, last week, and ballot...et! 67 times without being able to•eifect a nomination. They theft ad journed to Harrisburg, and were about breaking up in a row when our inthrivant left. The locos ute fast crumbling to pieces. crj - John .F Huntersa tried recently in Lycoming county for the murder of hie brother in law, Mr. ntewart. convicted of powder of the second degree —"end eenteeeed to the Penitentiary. for five years. Mr. Brewster and the " Upper End" again. The Standard and the Register, those demi-Whig I and demi•Locofoco papers, " the peculiar and par ticular and very ardent champions of the division interest," have lately discovered that Mr. Brewster voted for D. R. Porter and Simon Cameron for U. S. Senator, in opposition to the regular caucus nominee of the Locofoco party. What a pity it is !hat the Standard did not knew, previous to the nominatioris, that Mr. Brewster was "the friend of Porter and Cameron, the deserter of net only Whig priocilAes, but NVhig men, at the only time his po- Phi Jti as a Legislator placed it in his power to do 'anything for the advancement of Whig men, prin. espies or measures!" If the until now Locbfoco Standard had made this discovery previous to the nominations, and warned the Whtg party of their fatal error, it might have received the thanks of the Whigs and stand much higher now as the guar dian of " Whig men, principles or measures!"— Or if its coadjutor, the' egister, hid talked'of that " only vulnerable point" previous to the 13th of August, it might possibly have freed the ticket froth "a plague spot" which is sorely lamented in and about Holllidaysburg alone, and earned for itself a better character for sincerity. Why is It that the Register, vvhich boasts of hav ing been a faithful sentinel updn the Whig watch. tower for nearly ten years—and the Standard with its new bbrn zeal for the Whig clause, did not an' slim the votes of Mr. Brewster long ago, what it was well known to both of them that it was the custom of the lA'hig party in this county to noniv nate their Assembly candidates for a second term unless they -betrayed their trust ? Were the faith ful no longer faithful foitha ? Or why this long and death-like silence of these mongrel organs of Hollidaysburg ? And why do these earns papers, Which really agree in no one thing except the division question and Mr. Brewster's vote for U.S. Senator, take spe cial pains to Misrepresent the journal on all occa sions ? 'Why does the one say that all the col nmos of editor'sl zeal which grace the Journal is all Brewster, while Col. McMurtrie, who stuck to his 'integrity, is passed coldly 'by 1 and the other thrit we are the peculiar and particular and very ardent champion of the ants-division movement—a movement in favor of which we have yet the first word to write? If we have ever 'urged Mr.Mc- Murtrie's claims with lessWarMth thiin those of Mr. Brewster, or taken a stand in faVor of the anti division movement, point us to the evidence, for we deny the charges! Our readers all know, and these papers know as well as we do, that the Journal has advocated the whole ticket and nothing else during the campaign; and if Mi. Bfewster's name has been placed in our columns oftener than Col. McMurtrie's it was only to defend him from the ineiduous stabs of the mon grel presses at Hollidaysburg. 'We cannot censure either of mir candidates for their course on the di vision question ; for each did just what it wasknovvn he would Is troirp” .1.- proved treacherous to his constituents as regards that or any other question. And as for the elec- tion of U. S. Senator we have no fault to find with any of the Whig Legislators—it was an unexpected election, hi which there was no Whig organization —no concert of action—some voted one way and some another Perhaps Mr. McMurtrie acted more prudently in that matter, but if we recollect rightly Mr. Brewster went with a large majority of the Whig Legislators in opposing the caucus nominee. Each, we suppose, acted according to his oven jutig- ment, and both honestly hut as for the assertion that Mr. Brewster bartered his vote for votes against Blair county, it is sheer nonsence, for the votes on the Blair county bill before the election of U. S. Senator was thought of, were just the same as those which were given afterwards. We state this merely to show that all Whigs can consistently support the whole Whig ticket, and so cah edeh that zeal ous (Whig!) sheet, the Standard, flat it can do any Ming without fear of losing any character for consistency. Capt. Samuel D. Karns. We have the satisfaction of announcing to the readers of the Journal that Capt. SAMUEL D. KARNS has received the nomination of the Whig State Central ComMittee, as the candidate of the party for the office of Canal Commissioner. In the language bf our correspondent, we thank the State Committee for this nomination. Tt should have been made winner, btit there Is yet three weeks for action, and we hope every trub Whig Will pre- pare for the contest. Let there be a general rally of the party for Capt. Karns, and we will yet be able to defeat the candidate of the Locofeco party, lacking as Mr. Bums does every qualification to fill the office. We have received a communication from an old and falthinl member of our party, which we give below, setting forth, better than we could do, the qualifications of our candidate, to perform the duties of the office: For the Huntingdon Journal: Mr. CLAnx :—ln the last number of the Penn sylvania Intelligencer we saw floating at its mast head, the name of Capt. S. D. KARNS, do the Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner. We rejoice most heartily in this. Our Cottmionwealth ie already encumbered with a debt of ftitty Millions of dollars, and this immense sum MOO like a mighty incubus upon her energies; the Whigs by the admission of the Locos themselves, pajr mote then one-half the taxes, and at the lost elettidn polled upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand yams. We thought we saw in the tardiness of the State Committee, an unwillingness to make a nom ination, and we therefore seriously apprehended that the effects would do much towards disbanding the party, and protract the ultimate ascendancy of its principles: As a Whig, therefore, grown old in the service of a good cause, we thank the State , Committee tot this nornination. The Locoa, With their mull energy, had a strong ly attended Converitiun, and Will doubtless sharpen up their weapons for the fight, notwithstanding the most bitter jarring and truthful recriminations. To be sure, as a body, they have become identified with Randolph's seven principles, the loaves and Endres, their love of lucre, is superior to their love of principles; in the language of their Carolina champion, " they are held together by the cohesive power of public plunder," and what care they for the interest and honor of our good old Common , wealth, so they can brighten their pockets with the intelligence of cents, and the integrity of dollars. • Wehave spoken of this party,Onli is a party, and as such we have spoken of them more in "sor row than in anger." With many of them we are personally acquainted, and at all events, we have sufficient confidence in the virtue of the people, to believe they only require to know what is right, and like honest men they will do it. The seedlings of a third party, Which has lately quickened into bring —for it carittOt be called kfe—will soon subside— for having no life it cannot be said to die—and the contest will :hen be narrowed down to the ancient rival houses. kVe are thankful to the State Committee for e hominetion, and we are doubly thankful for the nomination of S. D. Karns. We know Mr. Karns most intimately—we have known hint front his youth, and we are glad that his energy and practi cal intelligence, have secured hint such a high place in the affections of the Whig part. He is emphatically a self Malls man, and is proverbial for the integrity of his character, as for the a,ncnity of his manners. He may almost be said to be the child of our Public improvements, for he has surely " grown with their grovith and strengthMted witth . their strength." He aided slightly in their con struction, and has 'traversed them annually since. horn one extremity to the other—has risen from the humblest to the Most elevated position, and hnS a more minute knowledge of the details than per haps any man in the Commonwealth. The deranged condition of our State fiancee, imperatively demand a reToi m in the board oreanal Commissioners. If they are properly nierieged , — if regard is paid to the 'kiiis and terms of trans portation, Pennsylvania will not be compelled to dispose of these monuments of greatness. To effect thin reform, ti Secure this transporta tion, and particularly that 'of the western emigrants, 'we believe Capt. Karns is peculiarly suited. Let 'the Whigs then rally ; let there be a general and most thorough organization, ihieughobt the length ma breadth of our Commodokelth. This is an important contest, and their are others still more im minent coming on. We therefore owe it to our selves, we owe it to our principles and more espe cially do we owe It to our country, to revolutioniie our own state and then our nation. A TRUE WIT/G. 'Hollidaysburg, Sept. 20, 1845. "A Whig"--And---" Nothing elsei' We paraphrase the following from our brother oneti * paper Does iiht our brother of the Hollidaysburg Reg ister feel that lie is doing Mr. BREWSTER injustice, and acting, may wo not say, an unworthy part, by harping so much upon the last election of U. S. Senator, and thus stirring Op prejudices which ho must know will operate strongly in favor of the Locofoco Assembly Ticket Perseverance in this course might raise doubts of the Register being "a Whig" and " Nothing else," especially as there is a Locofoco 151 VISION ticket in the field, which alone can be bbnefitted i by the discussion of the subjeci: Locofoco mode of Electioneering, o , lr readers no doubt all recollect the mode of electioneering adopted by the Locofocos last fall, in commending Janice K. Pdlk to the people, and prejudicing theln against his opponent; and it has probably occitrred to the minds of many, that the same party are attempting the &limb mode ef oper mum un a MI 031.11ity, at. tails MIN James K. Polk had not been heard of in connex ion with the office of President until after the' meeting of the Locofoco national cohventioh. He had, however, been speaker of the national House of Representatives, and Governor of Tennessee, in both or which stations he opposed the Tarifr and Distriblition, measures in which Pennsylvania has a deep and abiding interest. But, comparatively speaking, he was an obscure individual, so much so, indeed, thal when his nomination was first an nounced, Locofocos as well as Whigs were heard lb Ulrike the significant inquiry, "who is James K. Polk?" The leadere in Pennsylvania, aware of the peculiar position in which their party was placed, professing to be the friends of the Tariff, as they did, at once set themselves to work to de vise a scheme to deceive the people of Pennsylva nia Into the belief that his views on these impor- I tain Pennsylvania measures were identical with their own. This ticheme inahifested itself most ((My in the carrespohdttica between Jbhh K. Kane, Esq., who has since ieceivbd, a's the reward of his party servilty, the appointment of Attorney Gorier al, and James K. Polk. Mr. Kane wrote to Mr. Polk an epistle for the "public eye," in all proba bility accompanied with a confidential one, stating what would suit the meridian of this state, and dic tating the phraseology in such a way as to keep in favor with the South at the sante lime that he was humbugging the North. The letter of Mr. Polk was published in all the Locofoco papers in Fenn sylvania, and its ambiguous phraseology coniment ed upon, and the party swalloWed it as iood "dem ocratic Pennsylvania doctrine." Among tae Lo cofoco presses in this State but one (the Carlisle Statesman) *iv found honest and independent enough to tell the truth about its candidate All Mr. Polk's previous acts and speeches Weroburied in his letter to Mr. Kane; and thus were the Penn trylVania Locofocos successfully deceived MO the support of an opponent of the Tariff, whose Whole cabinet, with the exception of Mr. Buchansn, are avowed Free Trade men, as will be made still more manifest at the Meeting of the next Congress Equally pleased and emboldened by their scheme sit last fall. the Locofocos in this county ate now attempting a similar scheme to elevate "Janus" and hie fellow-candidates into office. This, though we ea w it clearly ever since the nominations, is Wade still more evident by the last Globe, which Says in substance that the Vs higs met with • "silent though stern rebuke" for asking whir James K. Polk was— othe Electoral College met, and declared that tames K. Polk was the President of the United States." That paper gravely tells its readers that we hear the Impatience and the "presurfiption" to ask "who; and what are they," the Locotoco candidates fat office in this county? and intimates that we mast again wait tall after the election, l'o'be told "wan can wit.' Tart ARE Of a piece with this is the humbug bond march the Locofoco leaden and their renegade allies are parading within the bounds of the proposed new county of Blair. These then, in order to Make d political or party question out of the division of the county, and gain advantage thereby, have nomina ted two candidates in favor of that measure. Since , 1 they have gone out to electioneer they have discos'• ered that the division of the county is an unpopu lar theme even within the proposed bounds of the contemplated new county--the people dreading in creased taxation. To avoid this objection, d paper purporting to be a bond, to indemnify the taxubles from paying heavier taxes than are now imposed upon them, is shown to the voters. 'Phis is a shat low imposition. Such bonds are not worth the paper on which they are written; for they can nov er be enforced in law. How could a suit be main tairted do them? Who would be the plaintiffs? It is but an imposition upon the people whose voles they wish to scam. Our verdant neighbor and his coadjutors, in their delight with the success of "Jimmy Polk of Ten . nessee," overlook a very important fact, which is, that althoUgh they succeeded in throwing chaff in- I to the eyes of the Pennsylvania "democracy; they • could not succeed in serving the intelligent ;leo- Manry of Huntingdon county in the same way; for the result shows chat their frauds then met with a "silent though `stern rebuke" in the sht'pe of 1500 majority for Clay, notwithOdilding all ! he efforts of "Janus," that very tjax of a candidate, of whom our neighbor sometimes speaks, who exerted all his Sampson-fike titr9gih in favor of Mr. Polk and against Mr. Clay. 20s this happened before our neighbor pitched his tent in'this county, 'it is possi ble that he does rot know that such a thing ever 'occurred. . . It is true, the analogy between that great and this small stroke of policy, is not altogether perfect; for "Janus" has not even as much as a letter for "the public eye." But "democracy" is progres sive, and if so little was sufficient to sminlle the people of Pennsylvania out of their votes last year, less will do to ''come-i!" ove:r the people of nun , tingdon county now, If this is Aniidea of the Lo cofaco leaders and editors, they will find themselves wofully mistaken about the time they intend to get "presumptuous" enough to tell the people 'wlio and WHAT their candidates are." For the ' , Huntingdon Journfil.." A Word in Season Mn. br.Ann:—Ydu *ill not presume an ora and unchanging Whig meddlesome, while he asks your permission to say a few words to Lis old compan ions; nor do I wish it inferred that what I may soy, is calculated to call your Moro 'direct attention to the subject spoken of in my brief coMinimicetion; and permit me here to say, that myself, as well as many others, say go ahead—stick to the ticket and the Whig organization. But in the false issues which are endeavored to be put to the people, I am anxious that our county offices and officers should not be forgotten. OUR PROTHONOTARY. Now let me say to the peMile, slid to ail the peo-! ple, why shall you be asked to 'desert your your tried, and ever faithful servant, ..lint Steel"— is the answer, He has been there long enough? Retied before you so answer, or act upon that' thought. Who of you, °fatty party, can say they ""'" " -r can say he ever asked him to give him any infor- Motion, or attend to the thousand little items of I business about that office, that he was not over ready and willing? Who can name any mart more capablemore honest—or more faithful? Who can Same a man 'none ready or correct in all its'iluties?—And will any person say that such a man and suet) an officer has served him thus faith fully long enough'. Reflect, I say, yOu are now attentively, puriettiaily, and correctly served, and whilf change will benefit yOurYou cannot be ' better served. But do some say, let some body else have the Office, slid not keeP one Man iti forever. Remember the office is for your benefit—not the benefit of the officer—and while your business is I well done, will you change, to gratify politieitiris and office seekeial But let me ask wile 'do they ask you to prefer. Is it hot one who figs enjoyed, for many years, the crumbs of office? The some objection bears with equal force egaitiet him. Theri why change for him? True tie it a gentrematf, and a man of probity—but does he had thit 'Ted' of a ready writer," that is held by "hi Jim." Then what do you get by being led to desert an old and faithful friend. d (JR REGISTER & RECORDER. &early all that has been written above applies with egdal fCice to iloilea John Reed. Where, let me risk you who have business to transact in that office, could you find a man, snore kind, aliging, attentive, and careful? Such a man is not to be found! It is a strong expression, but it is true; and I say unhesitatingly, the search would be in vain. And you are asked to discharge such a servant from your employ, for no other reason than to have a cliolige. Will the people of thls county prove so WPM to their own direct interest; and by their blindimail work a great injury to them To my Whig brethren let me say, If you hai,e been bound by the cords of folly, wrdught by the hands of your enemies; if you have brien'persuaded to sleep, by some Delilah in your household—lis ten—qhe Philistines be upon thee"—awake at once and burst the cords, or they will put out your eyes and compell you to toil in the prison hOuse, until your locks shall have grown again. Your old enemies aro at work to destroy your power, and to sap the foundations of our success in this county. No honest and faithful Whig will refuse to vote for men, Sy all acknowledged to be "honest and capa ble," when there can be no good reason assigned for so doing. Then let me say once more, awake! and attend to your political duty, as you have done for years,— and your whole duly, and let not the best men on our ticket be beaten, because they have for years proved themselves the best. OLD HUNTINGDON. The Louisville Journal says that a duel recently took place between Mr. Taylor and Mr. Harrison, of Harrodsburg. They fought with pistols at thd distance of ten paces. Harrison was shot through the body at the first fire. At our last dates, he had lived two days, but there was no doubt that his wound was mortal. The whole of the lower part of his body was paralyzed, and his speedy death was considered inevitable. C:2-"Jack Frost" made his appearance n these diggins a few morningssince. For the "Journal." The Standard men of Hollidaysburg are perfect Wizzards. They have dis covered that Mr. BREWSTER !)y , voting for Porter and Cameron (or United States Senator, ought to be dubbed ‘. Janus" in stead of one of the Division Candidates, A.Gwinn—such inconsistency, they think ought not to be tolerated. Wonder if these wise-acres are serious ? Would they have Mr. BnEwsTEn, a Whig "every inch of him" to have suffered Judge Wood ward an anti.Tariil' and avowed Free- Trade man to he elected to the U. S. Senate? The Whigs hail no party man in nomination— they were notorious ly known to be in the minority and could elleCt Oothing as a party.

A VOTER. To the Whigs OrPenisylv'ania, The State Committee, in obedience to public cipinion, have, after mature 'deliberation, agreed to Present to the Vt'higs of Pennsylvania, SAMUEL 11 KARNS, Esiii,ofbuph'in county, as a candi date for the office of Canal Commissioner, at the ensuing election. Mr. KAAINS tea getitleman of education, 81ents, great businels habits, and his a thorough knowledge of our Public Work's. }le is besides extensively and favorably known through , out the State, as a man of unblemished character, and Mioie strict integrity ie a dire - guaxanty of a faithful discharge of the duties of the office, shoUld he receive Majority of the suffrages of the Pee:. pie. . • . The Public Debt of Pennsylvania, most of which was contracted in the construction of the Canals and Railroads, is' ow about $40,000,000! The interest on this debt . is s2,ooo,ooo!—While the income from the Pak Works, after deducting repairs' and expenses, pays at best, only about one. fourth of the interest, leaving $1,500,000! to be 1 annually collected from the people' It is believed that under a proper system of management—the dismissal of an army of idle, extravagant agents—a ' Strict accountability df all disbursing and aceotint , ing, Officers—and the adoption of a liberal and en , lightened tariff of tolls, so is to secure upon our Main Line the trade of the West, which now passes over rival routes, will greatly increase the revenue froM our State Improvenients. The New York canals, which connects the Rattan with tide-water, are not as well located es are those of Pennsylva nia, Which connect the Great Valley of the Ohio with the sea board. Nor ought NeW York 'afford a tonnage compared with the rich . productionsof our Furnaces and Forges and Coat mines. Yet the New York canals last year yielded $2,440,374, and a net profit of over $2,1i0u,000! equal to the interest on our entice 'Whiteout Public `forks, which arc more extensive and better located, did not yield a net rumba exuding one-fourth of diet amount, All this is owing to bad nianageitient. To reform abuses—leintroduce economy- 7 01d to adopt such a systill of tolls as shall awaken en terprize and bring trade and busirl'ess Upon our Canals and Railways, Mr. KARNS IS presented us a candidate. He is a candidate of the Whig party, and is pledged to carry out its principles. Let the Whigs throughout the Common Wealth rally once again in support of their men and their measures. Let them show that undivided front in October next, that will convice all that they will never yield their organization or their principles; but that, like the victorious Whigs of 1770, and 1940, they will 'show themselves worthy of victory, as their bate.. 1/ Werthy of bUCCCEM.

Whigs rallied with an 'entliusinm•whic . h 'evinced how dearly they loved the man, itidelging the .forid r but alas! delusive hope of being stile to hail . hi'm Chief Magistrate of that people, for whose dearest ah'd best interest. he so long battled to Maintain, with the earnest fideli ty of a Washington; the undaude'd bravery of a Scott, and the eloqbence of u tongue iipt with ce lestial fire—will never again, whilst living, give tho people an opportimity of rendering him that jus tice which he so deserVedly merits, and which he i would have 'received, had not the Most iniquitous villanies, the most hellish frauds, , and attrocioug calumnies that were ever propagated, been resorted to by the fiendish Cannibals, and blood-thirsty Celli . an of Locofocoism succeeded in poisoning the public mind, perverting the hearts of honest citi zens, and leading them on in the Jackal' fury of party madness to consummate that deed of damn ; ing infamy, of stabbing to the heart their benefac tor and friend, Henry Clay, the great author of the American System. In consideration of this fact it is n. duly, an pan of the BOVeteigia people, I". aid in selecting a new man, around whom the whole country will tally wills that enthusiasm and, determination which guarantees success. There fore. be it , Resolved, That we, a portion of that great Whig army, residing in the centre of betrayed, but not dismayed, Pennsylvania, who went forth.to do hats' tle under the lamented Harrison and noble Clay, against the myrmidons of Locofocoisni, feel it to be a duty; devolving. upon us as faithful Whigs, to give utterance to that Ptiblic sentiment which is now swelling and sweeping onword in mig:ity cur rents amongst our mountains, hills and valleys, in fever df that man. of thg people, GEN. WIN FIELD SCOTT. the brave and scarred defender of his country ih her hour of peril. . Resolved,. That with GEN. SCOTT as our can didate for President, and GEN. JAMES IRVIN tr'ir Governer, Pennsylvania will assuredly assume her proper position in the Whig lines, and roll over the heads of those ~ .lanus" ; faced hypocrites, who succeeded last fall in bewildering , her patriotic judgment, the mighty thunders :of her wrathful in dignation, and sink to the lowest depths. of infamy those Judas Iscariots who betrayed their native State into Cie support of James K.
