WIMItEAS, We ore on the eve of a great polit
ical struggle—a struggle in which we battle for
the supremacy of a sound and wise policy—a
policy under the administration of which our
country will become prosperous and happy, nod
her institutions remain safe from the hands which
now threaten their overthrow. Therefore,
Re3o/ecd, That our attachments to a protec
tive Tariff are not only unshaken but strength
ened by tho adoption of the Free Trade Tariff
of 18 tariff which has ruined our manufac,
twin; interest, destroyed our commerce and
and robbed the honest laborer of the just re
wards of his labor.
Reis°lved, That we are opposedto the further
extension of Slavery, and that we will use eve
ry efibrt to prevent territory now free from the
blighting curse and withering desolation which
would be entailed upon it by the dark spirit of
human bondage.
Resolved, That we recognize in Gon. Zacha
ry Taylor, Millard Fillmore, William F. John
ston and Ner Middleswarth, true friends of the
true interests of Pennsylvania, unshrinking ad
rorates of self government, and wise, honest
and meritorious men.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the exer
cise of the Veto Power to defeat the will of the
psople as constitutionally expressed through
their rept,sentatives in Congress, and that we
will sot cease our opposition until it is no lon
ger abused by designing Executives.
linso!ved, 'Chat we hereby pledge for our
selves and our constituency, a free, hearty anti
;undivided support to SAMUEL CALVIN, the can
aidate whom we have this day placed in nomi

C..q MASS MEETING AT ALE AN-
DRIA.
CLARK.—llaving understood three
,eks since, that there was to be a grand
display of the " bone and sinew" of the
self styled democratic party, at Alexan
dria, on Saturday last, I made it suit to
be in attendance. From the appear
anceof the arrangements made, I really
did expect to see a meeting at Alexandria;
but alas! I was mistaken, unless you
would call a small gathering, about equal
in number to a country " butter boiling"
the bone and sinew of the "great loco
pro party," in this county. After fla
hand-bills had been posted up in
all parts of the county—after the lead
ers of the party had labored with all
their strength for three weeks—after
their previous meetings of arrangements
and in fine after a tremendous drumming
up of three weeks, the great . body of the
Lucofoco party of Huntingdon county
met in "mass meeting" at Alexandria.
About twelve o'clo - ck, news came that
the boat containing the Huntingdon and
Shavers creek delegations, was below
town. The Committeeof arrangements
immediately proceeded to the lower end
of the town to escort them to the ground
of meeting. The delegations, with the
committee at their head, then proceed
ed up direct, to the awful number of
sixty-eight ! ! Having arrived at the
place of meeting, they adjourned for
the space of ten minutes, having given
three very feeble cheers for Cuss and
Butler. _ _
The recess having expired, the meet
ing was organized and T. P. Campbell
of Huntingdon took the stand. This
eminent leader and expounder of Loco
foco principles, labored at length to
show to his enlightened, but small au
dience, that the Whig party had chang
ed its name. In order to substantiate
this ground, the worthy gentleman pro
duced a file of documents, sufficiently
large to contain all the laws of Solon on
the exploits of Hercules.
He then proceeded to show, that the
Locefoco party were unchangable and
immutable. That the principles they ad
vocate they ever advocated. That their
consistency was unblemished and un
doubted. But the gentleman seems to
forget that in '4.4. they advocated a
high protective tariff, and in '46 they
made a Free Trade Tariff. Does this
look like immutability 'I But it is not
only so with the Tariff but with every
other principle they ever advocated. In
place of the Whigs being inconsistent,
they now offer the people a President
on the broad platform of the Constitu
tion as 7t was administered by W. 3811-
I,IrOTGX and JEFFERSON. These
are the grounds they always stood on,
and they never changed them. What
they advocated in '4O they advocate
now, and so they ever did. But it is
useless for me to follow this gentleman
through his speech, if speech, it can be
called, as it consisted in nothing but
abusive nd vile epithets, against Gen.
Taylor and the Whig party.
John Scott Jr time Ex-prosecuting St
torney, was called upon to address the
meeting. This gentleman proceeded in
Fills usual style, and attempted to sub
stantiate the grounds taken by his wor
thy colleague, and as usual dipped
largely into low blaguardism.
The whole meeting then formed into
procession and marched up street,
where they counter marched and pro
ceeded to the Huntingdon and Shavers
creek boat. The procession, consisting
of the whole meeting, numbered one hun
dred and four, men, boys and unnatu
ralized foreigners. Thus ended the great
_and glorious demonstration of the “un
terified demosmracy" of Huntingdon coun
ty, at Alexandria.
