Arts in the United States.
We have only time and room at present to say,
that on the payment of five dollars, any person can

yearly a beautiful engraving, and stand a chance
also to receive an elegant painting and sculpture,
publicly distributed by lot among the members
at the annual meetings in December. Each mem

which is filled with excellent matter, calculated to
improve both the mind and taste. Persons sub

two desirable ends, that of decorating their parlors
with beautiful pictures, cheaper than can be done
in any other way, and also of encouraging an As

APPOINTMENTS BY THE Nest aswr.--George
Bancroft of Massachwetts, to be Envoy Estrum ,
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United
States for the United Kingdoms of Great Britain
and Ireland, vice Louis McLane recalled at his own
request.
John Y. Mason of Virginia, to be Secretary of
the Navy of the United States, vice Hon. George
Bancroft, resigned.
Veamovv.—The recent election in Vermont has
resulted favorably to the Whig cause. In 1:7
towns, SMITH, the Whig candidate for Governor,
lead. EATON (l.ocofoco) upwards of 4.000 votes
—being a gain of about 1.000 over last year. In
consequence, however, of the number of scattering
votes there has been no election of Governor by
the people. Smith will of course be chosen by the
legislattire, which is strongly Whig.
ADVERTISE,
Our merchants will soon be getting
on their fall and winter goods. When
they do so, they should not fail to make
the fact known to the public through
the medium of the Press. This is the
way to attract the attention of the Peo
ple, and improve the business of a
town. We hope all will give it a trial,
both merchants and mechanics. It is
the sure road to wealth.
BLAIR COUNTY.—The Locofoco nom
inee for Assembly in Blair county, Mr.
E. Bell, publicly declines being a can
didate. The Standard is trying to urge
Col. R. A. McMurtrie to run against Mr.
Bridenthall, the Whig nominee. We
hope the Col. will do no such thing, un
less Mr. B. should decline. The respect
we entertain for Col. McMurtrie, both
as a Whig and a man, induces us to ex
press this hope.
ROBBERY.—The Tailor shop of A. Wil
loughby, of this borough, was entered
on Saturday or Sunday night last, and
robbed of the cloth for a suit of clothes,
worth $20.00. Mr. W. has no idea as
to who the offender is.
ED- Our friend of the Hollidaysburg
Register will please consider his kind
feelings fully reciprocated. Let the un
pleasant things of the past be "in the
deep bosom of the ocean buried."
CLINTON COUNTY.—The Whigs of 'Lit
tle Clinton' met at Lock Haven on the
sth inst., and nominated the Hon. Jas.
Pollock for Congress, by acclamation.
Wm. Harris of Centre county was nom
inated for the Senate and Robert Ham
ilton of Clinton, for the Legislature.
[l7 The Whigs of the 22nd district
have nominated John W. Farrelly, Esq.,
of Crawford, as their candidate for Con
gress. The district is composed of the
counties of Crawford, 3lercer and
Ye
uango.
MISREPRESENTATION,
In the last number of the Huntingdon
Globe we find an article under the im
posing caption of "Climax of Misrep
resentation," which contains a short ex
tract from the Journal of the Bth July
last, commendatory of that paper for
opposing the efforts then making by its
political friends in Congress to repeal
the Tariff of 1842. It then asks the
readers of the Journal—" What think
you of the political consistency of the
editor who has thus wilfully committed
a bare-faced act of misrepresentation,
for no other purpose than to deceive and
mislead."
Now, gentle readers of the Journal—
we did say, on the Bth July, that we
were pleased that the editor of the Globe
acknowledged himself to be opposed to
the efforts then making to repeal the
Tariff of 1842. But we . humbly con
ceive that the Bth of July is a different
time of year from the first of Septem
ber, and the interval is quite sufficient
for a weazel to enter a great many barns.
The Globe, about the Bth of July, pub
fished doctrines which it was utterly •
ashamed of on the 9th of September.l
It was then trying to show off a little in •
favor of the Tariff of 184.2, but since
that time it has received its instructions
—been told that the Tariff of 1846 is the
measure of the party, and that the Lo
cofoco corps editorial are supporting it,
and if it does not wish to be kicked out
of the party, it must .upport it too.—
Whatever the professions of that paper
may have been two months ago in favor
of the Tariff of 1842, (and we now see
that they were nothing but professions,)
it dare not say so now. Any person
, who will put himself to the trouble of
reading over the sheet as it weekly is
sues, will find in every leading article a
direct:dirk directed at the industry of the
country. It is afraid to turn a somersct
too suddenly, for it might be detected ;
but the time is coining when it will be
where it is wanted. It is true, in the
article referred to, it declares " uncom
promising opposition to any measure
which does not guarantee to Pennsylva
nia an equitable 'share of protection for
all her productions ;" but under such a
broad declaration as this, a man can be
in favor of anything. Again, it denies
that it is a British Free Trade paper, but
the editor does not openly denounce the
act of '46, and come out boldly for its
repeal. The fact is, it could not be in
, duced to declare now for the Tariff of
1819— It l in company with the party to
which it is attached, is hostile to that
great charter of American Industry, and
it dare not deny this position.
About, and previous to the Bth of July,
we were disposed to treat the Globe with
some degree of respect, believing that it
had almost persuaded itself to try and
do what it conceived to be right. It ap
peared to manifest a desire to regain a
character for honesty. But, ah ! how ,
delusive the prospect ! In a few weeks I
it was back to the dog, and there it re
mains yet! We have come to the con
clusion that it is unsafe to write the pan
egyric of any living thing—especially a
Locofoco. We Will risk no more praises
on the Huntingdon Globe, for in a short
time it will be advocating the very re
verse of what we considered commend-
able. At one time it says it is opposed
to the act of '46, and again it says, "give
it a trial"—" All a Whig panic"—" Let
us see how it will work," &c.
VOTERS! EXIWARE!!
We caution the voters of this county,
to be on the look out for all kinds of
Locofoco Deception, between this and
the election. The Free Traders arc be
coming desperate enough to resort to
any means, however low, to again cheat
the people out of their votes. All the
cautions published in the Globe are only
intended to divert the attention of the
people from the desperate means about
to be resorted to by them to MISLEAD the
people. It has been openly declared by
leading Locofocos, that they would carry
this Congressional District by the aid of
their candidate's MONEY. And yet the
Globe cries out "Aristocracy," and pre
tends to caution the people against the
means about to be used by the Whigs.
Again we say, Voters ! Beware ! ! Be
not deceived by the "stop thief" cries of
the Globe.
Gen. Win. F. Packer, late Audi
tor General of Pa. made a speech in
Williamsport last week, in which he
came out boldly for the repeal of the
present British Tariff. That is the only
true ground for honest Tariff men to
occupy. There is no middle course.—
RErt:AL is the word.
TERRIBLE DISCLOSURES !
A Challenge from the *lobe !
The delicate nerves of our neighbor
of the Globe, have been again shocked
by further indications of the progress
of the "Reign of Terror"—he having
been shown a " SECRET" Whig Circular
sent throughout the State, by John P.
Sanderson, Esq., Chairman of the Whig
State Central Committee. This Circu
lar urges the Whig party to organize
and prepare to give the Free Traders a
sound drubbing in October ; which of
course, does not meet the approbation
of our neighbor. That our readers may
have some idea how very "Secret" this
Whig circular has been kept, we will
inform them that it was published at
' length, a short time since in the columns
of the Pa. Inquirer, and North Amer
ican, two leading Whig papers publish
ed in Philadelphia, accompanied with a
recommendation to the Whigs to act
upon the suggestions it contains. We
make the same recommendation to our
readers, who may have seen this fright
ful document, that has so much alarmed
the supporters of Jas. K. Polk. In com
menting upon this circular, the Globe
makes the following charge upon the
Whig party
The Federal-Whig Chairman of the Federal
Whig State Central Committee openly aeknotol
edgesthe inability of HIS PARTY to meet Me
Democratic party upon open, and honest
grounds—that they cannot longer gull the peo
ple b PUBLIC demonstrations ' and must,
therefore resort to SECRET and MIDNIGHT
' p ORTS, and other "MEANS," to mislead
the People !"
The above charge, Whigs of Hunting-
don county, is made upon you by those
in the employ of A. PORTER WILSON,
Esq., the Locofoco candidate for Con
gress in this District.
Now, knowing that the Whigs have
never flinched from meeting their oppo
nents face to face, in any contest before
the people, we accept the challenge thus
thrown out by the Globe, and dare the
editor to name the time and - place, at
which the candidates of his party will
meet those of the Whig party, to dis
cuss openly and fairly, the measures
and principles of the two great parties.
We should prefer, as far as the can
,
didates for the Legislature are concerned,
Ito have a meeting in every township in
'the county, at which both should have
an opportunity to speak; and for the
candidates for Congress, as many meet
ings in each of the counties in the Dis
trict as could be attended to previous to
the election. Are yon ready, Messrs.
Locos, for this arrangement I If so,
when 1
P. S.—" Beware of an enemy who
fears to meet you openly and honestly !"
THE FRAUD ADMITTED ! I
COAL, IRON, AND PENNSYLVANIA
Our readers will recollect that the
leaders of the Locofoco party have been
laboring hard to get up the impression
in Pennsylvania, that an amendment,
favorable to Coal and Iron, would be
passed by the Locofocos, at the next
session of Congress. Hear what a lead
ing Administration paper,the New York
Globe, says upon this subject:
" We have made up our mind to state
plainly to those who wish to hold out in
ducements to a portion of the people of
Pennsylvania, that the next Congress
will increase the duty on Coal and Iron,
Ithat no such thing will occur. We say
Ito Pennsylvania, that the next C H./INGE
IN THE DUTY ON IRON WILL
BE .MODE IN THE DESCENDING,
instead of the ascending scale."
Mark this! People of Pennsylvania.
Pass it round and circulate it among
your neighbors.
Whigs, to your Duty,
This is the first election in Hunting
don county since her curtailment of ter
ritory, and we hope that no Whig will
remain inactive or luke-warm. The
Locofoco party has become so corrupt,
that it is tottering and reeling like a
drunken man, and if the Whigs but
prove true to themselves, a glorious
Whig victory, must be the result of the
October election. Let the Whigs then
be firm and united. In four weeks more,
the battle will be fought. Whigs of
Huntingdon county ! what will be your
majority in favor of correct principles 1
You can give seven hundred, if you but
go to the polls. 4 you do it l We
shall hold ours fin 4adiness to prompt
ly publish y decision to the world.—

"Democratic Principles."
We have been told again and again
by the Huntingdon -Globe, that the
"true issue" is between Democracy
and Federalism. The editor of that
paper cries out at the top of his voice
" Democratic principles," but fails to
tell his readers, what those principles
are. By a letter in another column,
giving an account of the doings of the
Conferee meeting that nominated A. P.
Wilson, Esq., it will be seen that the
representatives of "Democratic princi
ples," in this District declared them to
be nothing at all, so far as the great
question of the Tariff is concerned.
Freemen of Hun tingdon county ! can
you be induced to follow the unmeaning
and senseless cry of "Democratic prin
ciples," and cast your votes for A. P.
Wilson, when those who are asking you
to do so are AFRAID to tell you what
those principles are'? We cannot, for
I a moment think so meanly of you as to
suppose that you will. Rally, then in
your might for Honest JOIIN BLANCHARD
who .has been "tried and not found
wanting"—who has already defended
your interests upon the floor of Con
gress, and who stands pledged again to
you to vote for the REPEAL of the pres
ent British Bill—which, if not repealed,
will utterly prostrate the labor and in
dustry of Pennsylvania.
A Falsehood Nailed.
The Ledger some time since, started
the story that the wages of the hands
employed in the Trenton Iron works had
been raised since the passage of the
British Tariff, as an evidence of Whig
Panic. The following letter from the
Manager of these works nails the false
hood.
TRENTON IRON WORKS,
August 31, 1846.
To the Editors of the Public Ledger :
GENTLEMEN—About ten days since 1
my attention was called to a paragraph
in your esteemed paper, and which I
believe has passed the general round of
circulation, stating that the wages of
the hands employed in the Trenton Iron '
Works had been raised in consequence
of the passage of the tariff of 1846.-
1 forebore to contradict the statement
at the time, as it seemed to me clear
that every intelligent man, at all conver
sant with the state and prospects of the
Iron business, would see at once that it
was an entire error and had originated
in some misconception. But finding
that it has been extensively copied and
widely quoted and commented upon by
the advocates of the new tariff, I am
I compelled to contradict the statement
lentirely, and to beg that you will give
the correction the benefit of extensive
circulation. It must be apparent that
the reduction in the tariff will and has
already reduced the price of iron, and
that the loss which will accrue must
fall alike on CAPITAL and LABOR ; and
wages, so far from being advanced,
must, as a matter of absolute necessity,
be very considerably reduced between
this and the Ist of December next, so
as to meet a falling market and after
I that still more considerably, unless Con
gress, at its next session, shall make
'the requisite modifications in the tariff
to enable labor to receive its just re
-1 ward.
Very respectfully, your obd't serv't,
EDWARD COOPER,
Manager of the Trenton Iron Work&
[D- On Tuesday night of last week,
the building occupied by Jas. Graham,
of Carlisle, was destroyed by fire. The
goods were all carried out of - the store
of Mr. Charles Barnitz, in an adjoining
building, under the impression that it
could not be saved.
We regret to learn, that the type in
the Volunteer office were all "knocked
to pi," by some pi-ous persons, who
threw them out of the window. We
want to see the principles advocated by
our friends of the Volunteer knocked
into a " cock'd hat," but it pains us to
hear of their having sustained any pe
cuniary loss.
tr,e• When we charged the Polk par
ty in 1844, with opposition to the Tar
iff of '42, they invariably pointed to
Geo. M. Dallas, and asked, " Would we
support such a candidate, if your charge
were true 1" The question, certanily,
had some force in it, and if it did not
quite silence us, it at least had the effect
of keeping the Tariff Locos in counte
nance. We wonder what trick they will
resort to in 1848 to demonstrate their
attachment to the Protective policy 'I
(a- A new paper has made its ap
pearance in Harrisburg, entitled the Lo
cofoco. It goes for Cameron and the re
peal of the Tariff of '46.
D'• The Loco conferees of the 13th
Congressional district met at Muncy on
Tuesday of last week, and after a ses
sion of two days, nominated Alison
White, of Lock Haven, as their candi
date for Congress.
CANAL COMMISSIONER.
Our neighbor of the Globe is still, we
believe, supporting the election of WM.
B. Foster, Jr., notwithstanding the point
ed resolution passed at the late Locofo
co County Convention, held in this place
a short time since, against Mr. F's re
election. The following is the resolu
tion to which we allude :
Resolved, That we recognize the force and sound-
ness of the one term principle, whether applied to
National or State officers, and that in the opinion
of this Convention, in its rigid enforcement, the
Democratic party will find the surest guarantee of
harmony at d union.
Now, how men who approve this re
solution, can vote for Foster, we are at a
loss to determine. True, the author may
have intended that it should only ope
rate against the renomination of Mr.
Shunk, and thereby carry out the views
of his Congress candidate on that
subject; but if those who favor the one
term tenure are actuated by principle,
they cannot vote for Mr. Foster.
The Globe also endorsed this resolu
tion, and declared it to be the "views of
of the Democracy of Huntingdon coun
ty." Here is the Globe's own language :
"The reeolutiOna in relation to the ONE TDHM
PRINCIPLH—the Mexican Wat, and the candi
date for Congress in this District, ehprees fully the
views of the Democracy of Huntingdon county."
Stand up to your principles, neighbor.
You do not, we suppose, wish to be ab.
solved from a defence of the county prin
ciples of your party.
Trouble among the Lycoming Locos
The two factions of the Locofoco par
ty, Tariff and Anti-Tariff, met at Wil
liamsport last week and put in nomina
tion separate tickets.
The " old school," or '42 Tariff men,
nominated James Gamble, Esq. of Jer
sey shore for. Congress; Gen. W. F.
Packer of Williamsport, for Assembly.
The " new shoot' or administration
men, nominated Gen. W. A. Petriken
for Congress ; Robert Faires, Esq. of
Williamsport, for Assembly.
The Whigs, or real Tariff men, will
also nominate a Ticket and as a matter
of course elect it.
A disgraceful fight took place at Cin
cinnati on the 31st ult., between some
of the " harmonious Democracy," which,
as usual, came to loggerheads. A Mr.
.1. B. Warner, a candidate for the Leg
islature, and Mr. William Lilley, a prom
inent Locofoco, were the combatants.—
The latter struck the former with a
hickory cane, and the former gave point
to his pugnacious propensities, by the
use of a small knife, with which he per
formed some rough surgical operations
on Mr. Lilley's flesh, with no other effect
or danger, however, than a lancet well
applied would produce. As the con
test closed very soon after, it is sup
posed that the slight loss of blood, and
fear, paled the Lilley's cheek, and cau
sed him to beat a retreat.—U. S. Gaz.
Juniata County
The following are the resolutions to
which we alluded in our last, as having
been adopted by the Locofocos of Juni
ata county. Read them voters, of this
Congressional district, and then say,
whether you can vote for the party that
can thus cringe at the footstool of power,
and "lick the hand that smites them:'
Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence
in the integrity and patriotism of J. K. Polk, Pres
ident of the United States, that the thanks of the'
people are due to his able and industrious cabinet,
and as Pennsylvanians, we are proud of the Sec
retary, hares Buctrarrais, whose commanding
abilities contribute largely in support of the pres
ent truly democratic administration.
Resolved, That O. M. Dallas, Vice President of
the United States, in his recent dignified and states
man like course in the U. S. Senate, giving the
casting vote on the tariff bill, exhibited a degree of
moral firmness, which has scarcely a parallel in our
legislative recoi ds ; ho has shown himself a man
of Iron nerve, when beset by hungry speculating
gormandizers, who infest our legislative halls, in
doing his duty to the whole Union, so clearly Jaye!.
oped in his address to the Senators on that occa
sion—and the day is not far distant, when that
casting vote will be celebrated along side of the
patriotic services of Jackson, in removing the de
posits and vetoing the re-charter of the United
States Bank.
Dauphin County
The Locofocos of Dauphin held their
county convention on the 7th inst. and
nominated Dr. M. Brown for Congress ;
and David Pool, Esq., and R. H. Awl,
for the Legislature.
The Cameron wing of the party car
ried every thing before them. They
passed a strong resolution in favor of
the repeal of the British Tariff of '46,
and another in favor of Judge Eldred
for Governor. The expression of the
Convention was decided against Shunk
and Foster. A resolution was submit
ted in favor of Wm. B. Foster, and vo
ted down !by a vote of 33 to 13. A res
olution was adopted denouncing G. M.
Dallas in the strongest terms. The Pa.
Intelligencer says :
Taking the proceedings of this Convention alto-
gether, it was one of the strongest demonstrations
against the State and National administrations, we
have yet seen from tite Democratic party.

Locofocoism Again—Determination
to deceive the People!
lawisTowN, Sept. 11, 1846.
JAMES CLARK, Esq.—Dear Sir :—Tho
Locofoco conferees Met here yesterday,
and put in nomination A. Porter; Wil
son, Esq., of Huntingdon, for Congress.
It is evident that the long adopted scheme
of fraud and deception is again about tb
be practised upon the people of the 17th
Congressional district. Shall this be al.
lowedl Let the people answer. They
have brought before them a man with
out any avowed principles. The con;
ferees who nominated him refused to de
clare what his principles were—some of
them claimed him to be in favor of the
Tariff of '42—while the majority de;
Oared he was in favor 6 . f . the British Ta
riff of '46; but compromised by refusing
to declare him anything. Is this fairl
—is it honest 1 Can the voters of this
Congressional district support a man who
is nothing, or who is every thing or any-
thing, to suit the different tastes of the
party to which he belongs 1 Will they
thus blindfolded rush upon their own
ruin? Will they sacrifice to the evil
genius of party the brightest hopes—
the dearest interests of Pennsylvania 1
Will they again, after the severe lesson
they have )just been taught, permit thon•
selves to be entrapped, deceited and de
frauded, by being kept in IGNORANCE of
the principles of the man whom they
have been called upon to support 1 We
have declared ourselves in favor of the
Tariff of '42—a Tariff for the protection
of American Industry. The Locofoco
par:y has, by its ACTS, declared in favor
lof the British Tariff of '46. Then let
this be the issue—let it be a fair, manly
l and honorable issue. Let the Locofoco
party take its stand as we have taken
ours. Let them define their position !
They DARE not—they are AFRAID to de
clare before the people of Pennsylvania
what their principles are.. They trust
alone in the hope of again being able to
deceive them. Voters of manufacturing
Pennsylvania, will you be thus practised
upon—will you suffer yourselves again
Ito be robbed—to be CHEATED—to be BE
TRAYED 1 Look, then, what you do—
know the principles of the men—of the
party which you support.
The Whig candidate for Congress—
Hon. JOHN BLANCHARD—has defin
ed his course—you know him by his
ACTS—his vote and his influence were
both united IN FAVOR OF THE TA
RIFF OF I 542. His opponent, Gen.
Wilson, you know not at all—he knows
not himself; or if he does ' HE DARE
NOT TELL YOU WHAT HE IS. His
hope—his only hope—is to DECEIVE
YOU. Shall this be done'! Let your
votes respond to the question
Yours, &c.,

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-8 P. M.
Awful Calamity.
The new and handsome steamer Ex ,
celsior, that has been plying for a short
time on the Hudson, between this city
aad Coxackie, (about 20 miles below Al
bany) burst her boiler this evening, just
after leaving the wharf on the North
River. She had a large number of pas
sengers on board and but few of them
escaped, except by leaping overboard
into the stream, as the boat was almost
immediately enveloped in flames.
The burning vessel drifted directly in
the direction of the shipping at the piers,
and it was only by great exertions that
she was prevented from communicating
fire to several valuable ships ; but one
vessel, a schooner, was injured by the
flames.
The Excelsior is now on shore, and
burned to the water's edge.
It is not known how many lives La vr•
been lost, but it is feared that the /111111
ber is not less than from twenty-four to
thirty. All that jumped overboard were
, saved.
Opinion of Mr. Polk and his friends, of Penn
Sylvania, in 1840.
The Hickory Herald, a Locofoco
pa
per, published in Jonesborough, Ten•
nessee, in alluding to the alleged fran!
upon Pennsylvania, in 1844, says :
"Much has been said about Pennsyl
vania and Pennsylvanians, in connexion
with the Tariff. From the beginning of
the Presidential canvass to the present
hour, the Whig press has asserted that
Polk's speeches, votes, and acts were
against the Protective system, through
out a long, brilliant Congressional ca
reer—in the teeth of his letter to Kane',
advocating the revenue principle—of his
Inaugural, and finally of his message to
Congress—the men or set of men, the
State or part of a State, who could still
be so ignorant of his views as to think
him a friend of a Protective and not a
Revenue Tariff t are SO GROSSLY STUPID
SO destitute Of COMMON SENSE, SO per
fectly full of all the qualities of the ASS,
THAT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF SELF-GO
VERNMENT."
Yet the Huntingdon Globe iterated
and reiterated the assertion, in 1844,
through its editorial columns—and its
present candidate for Congress, from
the stump—that James K. Polk was the
firm friend of the Tariff act of 1842.
Will the people again believe men who
are set down by their own party, in
other States, as tithes ,ts , r; , : or
PENN
