GEN. IRVIN
On our fourth page will be found a let
ter from an honest Laboring man, now
in Ohio, and who was formerly in the
employ of Gen. Irvin. It is addressed
to the Mercer Whig. We invite the at
tention of all, and especially, the Labor
ing portion of the community, to it. The
only object of the writer in question,
would appear to be to do justice to one
who had treated him kindly while in his
employ; and his testimony should there
fore have more weight with all honest
inquirers after truth, than all that can
be said by heated politicians and reck
less Party editors. The author of the
letter is known to some now engaged at
Iron works in this county. Read it, La
boring men, and then hand it to your
neighbor.
Li'. The efforts that have been making
by the Gwin faction here, to array the
Antimasons of the county against one
of their candidates, has aroused a strong
feeling of indignation among them in
every section of the county. We have
received a number of communications
from old members of the party, speaking
out their sentiments on the subject,
which we will publish next week.
OUT Prospects,
From all parts of the State we have
the most reliable intelligence of the cer
tain election of Gen. IRVIN. A letter
now before us from a prominent and in
telligent citizen of the Northern part of
the State says : "If the Whigs turn out
and poll their full vote, JANES IRVIN will
be the next Governor of Pennsylvania,
by a very large majority." Whigs of
Old Huntingdon ! do you want a strong
er incentive to action than this—the
certain election of your own favorite
son 1 Let every one then, act as though
the result depended on his own individ
ual exertions and vote, and the victory
over the office-holders is certain.
Voters of Huntingdon County!
Remember that Shank considers all
in favor of one term croakers and office
hunters. Remember, too, that every
vote polled for him or the Locofoco
County Ticket, will be construed into
an approval of the measures of James K.
Polk, including the British Tarifrof 1846
and the Mexican N% ar, with its cost of
thousands of valuable lives and MIL
LIONS upon MILLIONS of money.
The Locofoco County meeting held in
this borough a short time since, declared
its approval of all the measures of Polk's
administration, and especially in regard
to the war, and your votes will either
ratify or condemn the proceedings.
SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.—The Sena
torial Conferrees, to nominate a Whig
candidate for Senator in this district,
will meet at Hollidaysburg, on Friday
next, 10th inst.
fj7.ln 1844, the Locofocos slandered
the Whig candidate for Sheriff through
the columns of the "Independent Whig."
Now, they use the "Huntingdon Mes
senger," a professed neutral paper, for
the same purpose. They failed to ac
complish their purpose then, and the
people understand them too well now,
to be deceived by anything got up by
the traitor Legislator or any of his tools.
ID- Can any of our Locofoco exchan
ges tell us why Francis R. Shunk was
dismissed from the office of Secretary of
State by David R. Porter"!
The Country Districts,
From every part of the County we
hear the cheering cry among the Whigs,
" .411 is well !" Although in some dis
tricts our friends were somewhat disap
pointed at the result of the labors of the
County Convention, yet they think that
if they would allow a slight disappoint-
ment to induce them to waver or in any
manner desert their organization, it
would only result in advantage to Loco
; focoism, and injury to the Whig party
in the County ; and they have, there
fore, determined to go in heartily to the
support of 'gym, PATTO?i, and the whole
Whig County Ticket.
We made a hurried visit to the upper
end of the County during the past week,
and had the pleasure of taking by the
hand a great many of our Whig friends,
in that section of the County ; and found
them all in good spirits, and perfectly
united. The efforts of the Locofocos
here to produce jealousy and disunion in
the Whig ranks are well understood in
the country. In the townships of War
riorsmark and Franklin, where the Lo
cofocos have been boasting that Mr.
Crownover, the Locofoco nominee for
Sheriff, would make such terrible in
roads upon the Whig vote, on account of
alledged disaffection among them, we
found the Whigs thoroughly united, and
confident of the success of Gen. Irvin
land the whole Whig Ticket.
The Whig vote of Franklin twp. this
fall will be something similar to their Corn
Crop—tremendous !—And if the Loco
focos are calculating upon any of
the noble hearted Whigs of either Frank
lin or Warriorsmark townships voting
for Matthew Crownover, or any other
Locofoco candidate, they arc doomed to
bitter disappointment. They are Whigs
in the true sense of the term, and go for
"Principles—not Olen." Had the ef
forts of the Legislative Candidate for
whom Mr. Crownover voted and elec
tioneered two years ago, been fully suc
cessful, the noble townships above men
tioned, together with the whole of Mor
d e,would not now be within the bounds of
Old Huntingdon County ! And we have
no doubt that after the returns from those
townships are received, Mr. C. will feel
a fresh regret that his friend Gwin fail
ed in his effort to make Tussey's Moun•
min the boundary line.
From the lower end, too, we have the
most encouraging news. The friends of
Irvin are firm, united, and confident,
and will move in solid column for the
whole County Ticket. And all that is
now wanting is the proper arrangements
to bring out the full Whig vote. We
hope this will not be neglected in any of
the districts. The Locofocos are ae
tively but secretly at work, preparing
for time contest. Let the Whigs prepare
to meet them face to face, and 7'icket to
Ticket.
NOT NOMINATED.
It is said by some respectable demo
crats, that the Locofoco candidate for
the Legislature did not receive a major
ity of all the votes cast in the Conven
tion; and that Col. R. F. Haslett is re
ported as having received only 11 votes,
when in fact he received 13. It would
appear from the ballotings that there
were 43 votes in the Convention, while
only 40 are reported as having voted
for the Legislative candidate. We ap
pend the report of the ballotings :

For Auditor,

It will be seen from the above that for
Sheriff and auditor 43 votes were cast;
for Commissioner and Treasurer 42, and
for assembly only 40; of which number
as reported in the Globe, it will be seen,
Dr. Gemmill only receives one-half—not
a majority ! And under what new rule
of Progressive Democracy the Doctor
was'proclaimed duly nominated, we are
at a loss to determine ! We know noth
ing more in regard to this matter, than
that there is a suspicion among some of
the democrats, that Col. Haslett recei
ved two more votes than the report gives
him, and that unfairness was resorted
to by the Gwin faction to make up the
entire Ticket front among their own
!clique. Who can explain/.

Noble Sentiment.
The following patriotic sentiment is
extracted from Gen:TAyLort's letter to
the Hon. Mr. GRAVES. It is a sentiment
worthy the head and heart of its distin
guished author, and deserves to be prin
ted in letters of gold :
"Although myself A WHIG, yet if I
had the power to make a President of
the United States, and it I knew who,
in the high office of President, would
administer the government in the great
est purity and do most towards restoring
it to what it was in the earlier days of
the Republic, 1 would make that man
President, no matter to what party he
might nominally belong."

Death of Silas Wright.
The death of this distinguished poli
tician was received in New York and
Philadelphia on Saturday morning last,
and created a profound sensation, if we
are to judge of the public feeling from
the newspapers. He died of apoplexy
on Friday last at his residence in St.
Lawrence county, New York—aged 52.
Mr. Wright was an able and a distin
guished man as well as politician. He
had been in public life for the last thir
ty years, and had filled many stations
of honor and respectability, with great
credit and to the satisfaction of his con
stituents.

The Pennsylvania Telegraph says : I
The Locofocos are arousing their party
by unusual efforts in their strong Coun

SUNK ELECTIONEERING
We observe that Gov. Snumc left I-lar
risburg on Thursday last on a trip to
Reading, accompanied by his "guide,
philosopher and friend," JESSE MILLER,
and E. W. HOTTER, an emissary from
the State Department at Washington.
It seems that there is a good deal of
kicking in Old Berks this season—she
does not wear the party yoke so submis
sively as usual, and that famous Five
Thousand Locofoco majority is likely
to be whittled down materially. The
people of that County have not forgotten
that after their favorite and lamented
MUHLENBERG was nominated three years
ago, SHUNK and his friends established
a paper at Harrisburg which opposed
his election with great virulence.—The
Governor, having heard of the trouble
in Berks, has gone over to see whether
he cannot settle it, taking JESSE along
of course—for what could he do without
JESSE i—and intending to tell the good
German Farmers some of his old stories
about "Die Trappe," and give them u
palaver in their own tongue. The
ministration at Washington have
furnished an emissary in the person
a hired Clerk under Mr. BUCHANAN—Ube
NUTTER, formerly notorious as a slang
whanging Locofoco Editor at Harris
burg, and remarkable only for impu
dence and ingratitude—always ready to
engage in any dirty work, and after
wards to betray his accomplices for a
consideration—and he is to tell the lion- .
est people of Berks County what is De
mocracy, and how they must vote! The
presumption of these mercenary officials
is intolerable, and ought to be rebuked.

folks will teach them a lesson ; and send
