this Government owed $33,075 for years to I Governor Canal And still less can it be believe ed that Governor Cass, who received annually, on his estimates, all that he required, would let this large slim, or any sum, remain unpaid. Not at all. Engaged as lie was largely in land spec ulations, money was important and valuable to him. Yet, it seems, he forgot and overlooked thin enormous balance of $35,075, due him for year., and did not think of it till more than a year after his office of Governor expired. Who can believe such an absurdity 1 It is much more likely that Governor Cass wan in debt to the Government ; and until this account was ren dered such would seem to be the fact; for the amount of Governor Cass's claims, as rendered, was $53,128 06. Yet this only brought the Government in his debt $35,075. For the whole of this matter I refer to Document No. 113, 31 session, 25th Congress, page 16, which I will append to my speech, with such parts of the other documents referred to as may he material to a full understanding, of the subject. I was anxious to see the vouchers filed in support of these claims, and called at the office for that purpose, but the privilege was refused, as I have already stated. To-morrow, I intend to call by resolution, for the vouchers in support of these claims, and I trust the friends of General Cass on this floor will promptly adopt it, and this place before the country the vciiehem, if they exist, to justify these charges. Will they do it 1 We shall see. As the gentleman from Michigan is good at figurer, I will submit to him this question, to be worked out at his leisure: " If Gen. Cass as Governor, and ex-ofieio Superintendentof Indian affairs ' took $60,861 46 extra pay over and above his salary of $2,000, how much would he be entitled to as President of the United States, and ex-officio Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, with a salary of $'25,000 per annum?'' Being Being a military man, General Cass would no doubt command in person, in war, and war would be a matter of course should he be elect ed ; and having the precedent, he would have precisely the same right to extra pay that he had as Governor of Michigan. In point of or justice, is there a shadow of difference ? tinder such an administration of extras, extrav agance, and extraordinary charging, with tree trade, reduced duties, and reduced revenue, what will become of us 1 Is not ruin and bank ruptcy inevitable 1 The gentleman from Missouri (Mr-lAm msos ) who last addressed the committee, charged Gen. Taylor (tt small affair) with " parsimony."— And why 1 Because he refused to pay $7 or $8 postage on a parcel of unirniiiirtant political let ters. Now, sir, instead Of an objection, this Tarnished an argument in his favor.. It shows • that he will not neglect his public duties in quest of office ; that he takes prOper care of his own Money, and will take proper care of the pen- Ides, if entrusted to his keeping. While he spends nothing wastefully, he takes no extra pay; nothing that is not strictly his due. In these days of prodigality and extravagance, he is just the man we want at the head of affairs. Rsrocat and Res rettele mew in public expenditures is now more loudly demanded than at any for mer period of our history. I can, however, tell the gentleman from Missouri, that if General Taylor, like Gen. Cass, had been receiving ex tra pay at the rate of fifteen or twenty dollars a day over and above his salary, he might have afforded to pay this postage. Gen. Cass, no doubt, would have paid it ; but not so with Tay lor. He attends to his ditties, and lets extra pay and politics alone. BM, Sir, there is another perversion of my remarks made by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. McCLEixasn,) which I cannot permit to pass unnoticed. He says I slandered Mr. Cal houn be charging him with allowing Gen. Cass' accounts for extra pay, five or six years after he was out of office. Now, Sir, instead of say ing what the gentleman imputes to me, I said ex actly the reverse. I said Mr. Calhoun had not allowed the accounts, as stated by the 2d Audi tor; and as proof, I adduced the fact that he was out of office five or six years before the account was settled. The gentleman must be hard run indeed, when he is driven to such quibling as this ; such perversions, :such evasions of the real questions at issue. I charge Gen. Cass with malversations in office, and the gentleman defends Mr. Calhoun, who is not assailed. I charge Gen. Cass with taking more money out of the Treasury than he was legally entitled to receive, and the gentleman turns around and assails me with abusive epithets. This is easi ly done; might retaliate, but will not. It is not with him or with me the people have to do; it in with Gen. Cass, now a candidate for the Presidency; and it is to his defence I would ad vise the gentleman to give his immediate and undivided attention. The defence of Gen. Taylor, an honest man, who has devoted his whole life to the service of his country, is an easy task. What have you to say against him gentlemen f I pause for a reply. Nothing; not a word. But the gentle. man from Michigan (Mr. McCi.ELLAxn) has said or suggested, that on examination of Gen. Taylor's accounts it would aprear that he hail received a far larger sum as "extra compensa tion" than Gen. Cass, " for light military duty at unimportant posts." Gen. Taylor received more extra pay than Gen. Cass! Now I assert and am prepared to prove by official records, that he never received one cent of extra pay, and have proved that Gen. Cass received $ 0 39 990. Now, sir, when making such a charge against an old and faithful soldier, either direct. ly or by insinuation why did not the gentleman do as I now do, produce the document: to prove his charges I Why, because he could not ; be cause the imputation was utterly unfounded. Here sir, are the reports I refer to, containing every dollar of extra pay to every officer of the , army, from the organization of the Department I to 181:1, and the name of Zachary Taylor is no where to be found in them. They have been carefully and repeatedly examined. Yet in the face of these official reports, the gentleman suggests that Gen. Taylor has received more ex tra pay than Gem Cuss " for light military duty at unimportant posts." Gen. Taylor, who slept, fought and conquered, in the black swamps of Ohio—who slept, fought and conquered, in the evergladesand hammocks of Florida—who slept, fought and conquered, amid the chapparal and burning sands of Mexico—covered himself and his army with imperishable glory, and saved this administration from infamy and disgrace— this, all this, in the estimation of the gentleman is, " light military duty at unimportant posts." If there is a man in the American Army enti tled to extra pay, that man is Gen. Taylor. And yet he is almost the only man who has never re ceived it. Gen. Taylor has done all ex, ra eer vire, and Gen. Cass has received all the extra Pay. Here is the difference. Taylor received not an extra dollar, and Cass has received more extra compensation than all the. Governors of all the Territories from the foundation of the Gov ernment to the present time. Governor Cass h as r ece iv e d and all the other Govern ors together have received but $19,100, Gen. Taylor never one cent, as appears by the oft riot reports referred to—No. 6 and No. 18. OYith these expositions I am Willing, sir. to l'enve the people judge for themselves. Let themnow decide which of the two is the safest and best to entrust with the managemer.t of their Attire. It' honesty, fidelity, and faithful ser vice irr one public office gives any security as to the performance in anothir, then there could be no doubt or hesitation as to which should be and would he selected.—llonesty and integrity, a sound heed end a true heart, were among the highest goalificatiou• for a President. Without these we had every thing to fear—with them, every thing to hope. Here Mr. StawanT's hour expired, and Mr. DANIEL, of North Carolina, obtained the floor, but yielded it to Messrs COBB, of Georgia, BROWN, of Mississippi, MCLANE, of Maryland, and others who wished to put questions to Mr. STEWART, who said that, having got through, he was now ready to answer any and all questions gentlemen might wish to put to him. Mr. Conti first inquired whether Mr. S. char ged Gen. Cass with receiving his salary of $2, 000 as Governor, $2,230 as Superintendent of In dian affairs, $8 a day and 40 cents a mile, and the pay of a deputy quartermaster general and captain in the army at the same time. Mr. STEWART answered yes, all but the pay of deputy quartemaster general, to which there was no date. He might have received this at the same time with the rest, or he might not. These charges were founded on official documents, which were at the gentleman's ser vice. Mr. Cone repeated substantially this ques tion several times, and Mr. S. gave, in effect, the same answers. Mr. MCLANE then inquired whether Mr. S. meant to charge that Governor Cass received these extra allowances without vouchers. Mr. SftEWART answered, that for the most part he did, unless the gentleman called Gen. Cass's own letters and statements vouchers. I believe said Mr. S., there is nothing else to sup port his claims of $6,610 for rations; $1,500 per annum for office rent, &c. ; $1,500 a year for going out of Michigan; the charges for set ling his accounts, attending treaties, mileage &c., he believed were all unsupported by vouch ers. The gentleman could find out, however, by calling for the vouchers by resolution. And if the gentleman does not call for them, I will; and I hope the friends of Governor Cass will vote for the resolution. Here the conversation dropped. APPENDIX Cen.

Lewis, the Second Auditor of the Treasury at that date, as per Document No. 112, 3d session, 25th Congress, page 16.

The St against the motion WERE ALL LOCOFOCOS ! ! [Reported for the Journal.] UNION TOWNSHIP IN THE FIELD GREAT MEETING OF THE PEOPLE!- OLD ZACK AND VICTORY!" Pursuant to previous notice, the Taylor men of Union and the adjoining townships held a meeting at the house of Zechariah Pheasant on Saturday last. A very large concourse of Peo ple were present, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the proceedings. It is es timated that no less than TWO HUNDRED of the honest yeomanry were in attendance. About half past 12 o'clock the meeting was organized by appointing ELIEL SMITH, Esq., President; W I 1.1.1 A3l PosTos, W3l. CHttcoTE, CALEB GREENLAND, WM. PHEASANT, Col. Jou,: Srevnn and ABRAHAM SHORE, Vice Presidents; B. Franklin Gla,gaw and Yob& Illyerly, Secre taries. After the organization, the meeting was very ably addressed by Col. A. K. CORNYN, Titzo. H. Cazatzs, Esq., and Major RAYMOND. The speeches were listened to with marked atten tion, and the sentiments expressed rapturously applauded. The following resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted ; when the meeting adjourn ed, in fine spirits, each one resolved to do all in his power to secure the success of TAYLOR, FILLMORE and MIDDLESWARTH Resolved, That we have entire confidence in Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR and MILLARD FILLMORE, the candidates of the Whig party for President and Vice President of the United States. Resolved, That the principles which have been proclaimed by Gen. Zachary Taylor, are the principles of the Whig party of Union town ship, and the whole country, and that we, as the friends of the " Old Hero," will use every fair and honorable exertion to elect the man, and have those principles carried out. Resolved, That we have implicit confidence in the honesty, integrity and moral worth of NER MIDDLESWARTH, our candidate for the office of Canal Commissioner, and believe , if elected, he will use every exertion to place , our Canals and Railroads in such order that in stead of being a sinking fund, they will yield a revenue, and aid in the liquidation of our present enormous state debt, which has been saddled upon us by the corruptions of party profligacy and favoritism. Resolved, That we view with distrust the late 13arnburner's Convention at Buffalo, which has placed in nomination Martin Van Buren for the Presidency and Chas. F. Adams for the Vice Presidency, and hope that no friend of Gen. Taylor's will suffer himself to be caught in the fangs of this modern gull -trap. Resolved, That the Whigs of Union and the surrounding townships here assembled, will use every every exertion within their power to elect the ticket placed in nomination by the late Whig County Convention, and secure for it the cordial and energetic co-operation of every Taylor and Fillmore Whig in the county. Resolved, That we consider it the duty of every Taylor and Fillmore Whig, to give the Cass and Van Buren parties " more grape" on every occasion; and to remember, that "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." Resolved, That we pledge ourselves, and send greeting to the different townships of " Old Huntingdon," that we will give TAYLOR, FILL- MORE, MIDDLESWARTII, and the County Ticket, at the least calculation, EIGHTY of a MAJOR ITY, at the coming elections. 1,418 00 1,001 80 2,526 qe 63,910 16 For the Journal Sabbath School Celebration. Ma. EDITOR:-Agreeably to previous ar rangements, the Union Sabbath School of Sink ing Valley met on Saturday, the sth inst., for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of, the School. The officers of the School, the teachers and scholars being assembled at an early hour in the Sinking Valley Presbyterian Church, where, after singing a hymn, and , prayer by Rev. W. B. Bingham, the following ' persons were chosen as officers for the day : SAMUEL HOUSER, Chief Marshall. R. McDIVITT, Assistant do. J. M. CALDERWOOD, President. The procession was then formed and marched to the Grove near to the " Arch Springs." Having arrived at the grove, where seatwe re prepared, and a table spread with the luxuries common on such occasions, prayer was offered up by Rev. J. H. Reed ; after which an address to the parents and teachers was dcliveaed by Rev. W. B. Bingham, in an able and masterly manner. The company then repaired to the table, where thanks to the Almighty were offered up by Rev. Mr. Bingham. After partaking of the refreshments, an address to the children was delivered by Rev. Mr. Reed, in a speech suited to youthful capacities, and containing an amount of information and instruction rarely met with. The company was then dismissed. The whole affair passed off very pleasantly, nothing occurring to mar the harmony and good feeling manifested on the occasion. The Jeff erson Brass Band was in attendance, enlivening the scene, at intervals, by playing beautiful and very appropriate airs. The entertainment was such as told well for the good feeling, taste and hospitality of the people of Sinking Valley. Long may such scenes be remembered. R. Sinking Valley, Blair co., Aug. 7, 1818.

PEIGIITAL, President, H. K. NEFF, Secretaries. E. SUMMERS, The Extra-Salary Candidate. Freemen of Huntingdon county ! read the Speech of Hon. ANDREW STEWART, of Pa., which we publish in this No. of our paper. It is a full and authentic exposition, taken from the Public Records, of the money unlawfully and unjustly abstracted from the Public Treasury by Gen. Cass, while Governer of Michigan.— Recollect when you are asked to vote for Gen. Cass, that in addition to high salaries during a long life,he haa received SIXTY-FOURTHOU SAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS AND FORTY-SIX CENTS EXTRA PAY, out of the Pockets of the Peo ple—more than all the other Territorial Gover nors from the foundation of the Government to the present hour ! And recollect, too, that Gen. Taylor has been in the public service for about forty years, enduring hardships and perilling his life in defence of his country's Flag, and has never yet reeeeved one cent extra pay. If any one doubts, says the Pa. Intelligencer, the truth of the charges, Mr. Stewart has pre sented them in a form which must satisfy the most skeptical of their truth. They cannot be refuted, or explained away ; and every man who will read the speech, must be convinced. The pamphlet copy of the speech from which we publish, is accompanied with the statements of the several suing charged and received from the treasury by Gen. Cass, in detail, Caen frees the records and eertt:fied by the several officers of the departments. They are thus presented in a form which defies contradiction. We re gret that we are obliged to exclude these docu ments on account of their length. Now if Gen. Cass whilst Governor of Michi gan, could and did abstract from the public treasury $64,865 46 of extra pay to which he was not entitled by law or justice, the question naturally arises in the public mind, would he be a safe man to entrust with the enormous power placed in the hands of a President 7 Would the treasury be safe in his charge ? What guaranty have the people that the man who could show himself thus grasping and unscrupulous in one instance would not, if he had the power, commit the same abuses in other instances 1 None— none whatever ; and the verdict of the people must be against him. But read the speech and i Appendix, and every one will be able to see and judge for himself. Irish News. The last foreign arrival brings news of an out-break in Ireland, and that hostilities, be tween the People and the Government troops have commenced. The news, it will be seen, is conflicting. The British accounts represent that the Irish were put down without difficulty ; but the secret correspondent of the New York Tri bune represents that Smith O'Brien, with sixty thousand men, utterly routed the British forces at Slievenamon, killing Gen. Macdonald, and SIX THOUSAND British troops under his command ! The next arrival will be looked for with intense interest. God grant that the down trodden Irish People may triumph over their oppressors. 07 - The Whigs of Lancaster county have nominated Thaddeus Stevens for Congress.

From every part of the country our political news is of the most cheering character. The election of Gen. Taylor is no longer a matter of doubt, among the knowing ones of all parties.— Those of the out-and-out Clay and Scott men, 1 who were at first dissatisfied with the nomina tion of Gen. Taylor, have nearly all become re conciled, after two months reflection; and we predict that in one month more, no Whig can be found who will not go heart and hand for the Philadelphia nominees—TAYLOß and FILL MORE. But on the other side the breach which took place in the Baltimore Convention has been daily growing wider and will continue to grow wider till after the election. The dissatisfied Barnburners" furnished strong evidence of this fact at their Buffalo Convention, where the Van Buren men were counted by solid ACRES. It has been a serious question whether Van Bu ren will not receive more votes in the Eastern Middle and Western States than Lewis Cass. Cass Desperation. The Cass papers, seeing the desperation of the cause which they advocate, have become even more reckless than is their custom. All of them from the Washington Union down to the Huntingdon Glatt, are teeming from week to week with falsehood and deception and the most foul-mouthed slanders upon the character and qualifications of the old Hero and Patriot, Gen. TAYLOR. So notorious have these prints become, that no intelligent man will now believe a single statement made by one of them, unless it is corroborated and sustained by other evi dence. And the editors themselves know that the characters of their papers for veracity is so wretchedly bad that they nuw rarely attempt to palm anything on the People without first get ting the affidavits of some " hen roost robbers" annexed to it. We make this candid statement to guard the community against the deceptions of the Ca's cd;tors. C. The Glob•, after being convicted of sta ting that which was utterly false in every par ticular, in regard to Capt• Loeser's speech in Hollidaysburg, is trying to wriggle itself out of the dilemma by publishing what the editor avers is a speech of Capt. Loeser, delivered in Read ing. Had you not better, Mr. Globe, make good your story about the Capt's Speech in Hollidaysburg, before you attempt to palm upon the community another yarn ? Whether the Captain did or did not, in Reading, make the remarks imputed to him, we see not prepared to say. That the Globe avers he did, is the strong est evidence that he did sot, as yet in our pos sesss ion. THE ABOLITION PARTY.-Ear never heard, and eye never conceived, of just such a Party as this ! It has so odd a way of going ahead by going astern, that nothing in nature, not even the crab, is the representative of its position. When it began work, in 1830, slavery was about to be abolished in all the border States, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and was even weakening its hold in North Carolina and Ten nessee. Somehow or other, under its agitation, slavery has since annexed Florida, Arkansas and Texas to the Union, the latter being ex pressly taken from a foreign nation especially to be annexed, and the annexation through Polk being finally effected, by his election, through the 15,000 Birney votes in the State of New York. But, strange as is this progress backward ml der Abolition auspices, stranger still is its adop tion of Martin Van Buren, who, from 1816 on, has favored every Southern slavery measure, and opposed every Northern anti-slavery meas ure, and whom to set up, as its candidate now, is the a very error of the moon." The Tariff of 0146. THE MONTOUR WORKS STOPPED. -The Dan ville Democrat says that the prosperity of Dan ville of which the locofoco papers in this quar ter have so frequently and so falsely boasted, of late, has at last resulted in the stoppage of the Montour Iron Works. Three of their large Anthracite furnanes, together with a large roll ing mill, are now standing idle—victims to the locofoco Tariff of 1846—and something likefice hundred hands have thus been unceremoniously thrown out of employment. Although these works are considered to possess as great, if not greater, facilities for the manufacture of Ironas and other in the United States, yet when the British can send us rails at $47 per ton, on ac count of the small duty and the cheapness of labor in that country, our iron men must knock under—and all this (in the languageof a locofo co paper) is caused by democratic rule' Club Meeting. The meeting of the Rough and Ready Club on Wednesday evening last was well attended. Although the speakers expected did not attend, every thing passed off well. Col. A. H. Cor nyn, Major Geo. Raymond, David Blair and T. H. Cremer, Emir's, addressed the Club in their usual spirited and able manner. The fol lowing resolution of sympathy with the Irish People, in their struggle for justice from their rulers, was offered by Mr. Blair, and unanimous ly adopted,amid great enthusiasm : _ Resolved, That the intelligence received by the mail to-day of the bold and triumphant stand taken by the Irish in defence of their liberty, excites within our bosoms the liveliest feelings of sympathy and joy. While we regret the necessity of the resort to arms, we rejoice that in the first conflict with her oppressors, victory has dawned upon the green shamrock, the proud emblem of Ireland's better days and national existence. To the brave spirits now battling to be free, we say, so ON-our hearts are with you—God speed ye and your cause. The County Ticket. It gives us pleasure to learn that the Whig County Ticket gives universal satisfaction in every section of the county.

CU" The Locofocos meet in State Convention on Wednesday, (to-morrow) to nominate a can didate for Governor. The Taylor men meet on the day following, (Thursday,) for the same purpose. The former party will nominate Judge Black or Canal Commissioner Longstreth. The Burns and Cameron men will support Wm. Bigler. The latter most likely will nominate the present popular incumbent, Wm.

NORTH CAnoLtNA.-11fanly, Whig, is elected Governor by over WOO majority, and the whigs have a majority of two on joint ballot. The Raleigh Register says that 6. North Carolina, therefore, is as ever, a staunch and decided Whig State. The diminution in the Guberna torial vote, and the decrease of our majority in the Legislature, are entirely attributable to general lethargy, local causes, and a shameful multiplicity of Whig candidates in strong Whig counties." ANoTuan SCREW Loosc.—The locofocos of Vermont can hardly find timber enough for can. dicates. They recently nominated Cha, K. Field for Lt. Governor. But he 41 spurns till , bribe" after this fashion:— " I have this morning addressed a letter to the State Central Committee, declining the nomina tion of Lieut. Governor, and directing them to strike my name from the Ajf.ket. I believe such a course due to the demodracy—my views were not known to the Convention at the time of the nomination, and it is possible the nomination was adopted from a belief that, in common with many others, I was an ardent supporter of Gen. Case. In no event whatever can I be induced to vote for him—he is cowardly—an unprinci pled political hack—and a marvelous worthy nominee of the worthless tricksters who assem bled at Baltimore." This is strong but truthful language. Beside MARTIN VAN BUREN, the the locofoco party was never disgraced by the championship of a more barefaced, brazen and unprincipled demagogue than LawisC.tss. He has abandoned every vi tal principle he ever professed, and is now the merest toady of political knaves who constitute the soul and head of the locofoco party. GIDDINGS ON VAN DUREN. Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, the leader of the Free Soil Abolition movement in this State, in one of his speeches in the House of Representatives, in reference to Mr. Van Buren, made the fol lowing emphatic declaration : " Sir, I may be led to confide in the honor of a slaveholder ; but a servile doughface is too destitute of that article to obtain credit with me. Mr. Van Bu ren has placed the evidence of his ser vility conspicuously upon the records of our country. There it will remain, and will be regarded as an enduring memen to' of the degeneracy of the age, and of the men who filled our public stations." Now, with all this "evidence of his servility conspicuously upon the records of our country," we find Mr. Giddings mingling in a Convention met for the purpose of nominating Mr. Van Bu ren for the Presidency, and pledging himself to his support ! Did ever man give more striking evidence of his " servility," than has Mr. Gid dings in this instance. His conduct, like that of Mr. Van Buren, "will be regarded as an en during memento of the degeneracy of the age, and of the men who filled onr public stations." —Urbana (0.) Gazette. WHAT we xsem—The Erie Gazette is right in saying that the election of Ner Niddleswarth the honest old farmer of Union county, is high• ly desirable. We need his sound judgment, correct knowledge and practical economy 'io give increased efficiency and success to the ,ea, agement of the State works. lowa Election. CINCINNATI, August 21. It is now generally believed that Miller, whig, is elected to Congress from the Ist district, in stead of Thompson, Loco, as before reported. A Hope of Illinois. The general result of the recent election in Illinois is regarded as justifying a very strong confidence that the electoral vote of the State will be givea for Gen. Taylor. The St. Louis Era says that it is safe for him " beyond any reasonable contingency." THE VorE or Now YORE.—The fourna/ of Commerce, whose judgment in this matter is en titled to great weight, says:—LL The Waskiiig ton Union begins now to talk of carrying New York for Cass. But this is impossible. IT WILL NEITHER no FOR CADS NOR VAN BUREN' BUT FOIL TAYLOR." The Wilmot men—alias Barn burners— of Crawford county, have call ed a meeting, signed by over six hun dred persons, to make arrangements for a Barnburner State Convention. This looks blue for Cass in Pennsylvania. VAN BUREN AND ADAMS.—The Boston Silas says :—We think that it will be difficult to bring the Whigs of Massa chusetts to vote for Van Buren, and as regards the Vice President, we think, in the language of Judge Allen, "that Massachusetts will spurn the bribe."
