Although the Locofocos, under the lead of
that Princely Aristocrat, Morris Longstreth,
have run us much closer than we anticipated
last week, yet we still have the proud satisfac
tion of announcing to our readers that "RELIEF
'RILL," "Ids areidency," as the ultras were
pleased to term him, is Governor elect of the
good old CUmmonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
simple announcement of a fact in itself so glor
ious, would seem to be sufficient. That we
have prostrated the once great Locofoco party
of Pennsylvania in single combat is an achieve
:neat that needs no comment to illustrate its
magnificence or importance. The mere an
nouncement of the fact, sustained by the official
figures, is sufficient for men of both parties.
And the causes which led to this mighty and
glorious political revolution must also be mani
fest to every unprejuiliced mind. The most
prominent among which is the fixed and settled
determination of the People to elect honest and
brave old ZACHARY TAYLOR President of
the United States. Johnston was the Taylor
candidate for Governor, and hence every man
who took the proper view of the matter, seen
the importance of sustaining Mr. Johnston.
The second great cause may be found in the de
ceptive and fraudulent conduct of the Locofocos
in regard to a PROTECTIVE TARIFF. Their
course on this vitally important rquestion to the
interests of Pennsylvania has told with most
tremendous effect against them. The other
causes that ore ated against our opponents we
may sum up as follows : The manifest unpop
ularity of Gen. Cass, and the fact that falsehood,
clap trap and every species of humbuggery are
just now at a very heavy discount with the vo
ters of this country. Unfortunately for Loco
focoism the people are beginning to wake up,
cast about them, and to think and examine for
themselves. Turn and twist it as they may,
we can assure onr Locofoco friends that the
above are the true causes of their defeat and the
People's triumph. And we can further assure
them, that their rout on the second Tuesday of
October was but the firing of a pop-gun to the
thundering of Taylor artillery which will greet
their eats on the evening of the Bth of Novem
ber. •OLD ZACK'S COMING !" Let all
who oppose him ' , stand (torn under !" The
country will be redeemed and Gen. TAYLOR
is bound to be the next President of this glor
ious Union of States.
Another Italy
'file Rough and Ready Club held a meeting at
carillon's on Saturday evening last and renewed
the contest for OLD ZACK. As may be sup
posed the election of Johnston had the effect of
making it one of the most enthusiastic meetings
of the season. Songs were sung by the Taylor
'instrels and addresses delivered by Messrs.
Williamson, Clark and Blair. Every one ap
peared determined to go with renewed energy
Inc Taylor.
We can assure our friends abroad that Old
Huntingdon will do much better hir Taylor than
-he done at the late election.
Secret Circulars.
Since the late Lecofoco disaster in Penusyl.
vanie, a committee of Locofoco office-holders at
Washington City are addressing secret circulars
to the faithful throughout the country to bestir
theinselVes for Cass. • Saturday evening's mail

not crowing, but gasping for breath, the very
picture of an office holder or the editor of
the Globe himself, reading the news elect
ing Johnston. Poor chicken, his occupation is
gone and he may as well go quietly to roost for
the balance of the season. "Old Zack's cons
' ing," and Locofoco crowing is over.
CO"Will the Huntingdon Journal please in
form us what has become of the tariff Whigs of
the “Iron District l"—Pa. Register.
Notwithstanding the Railroad and imported
vote, the returns show you that there were a
sufficent number at the polls on the 10th inst.,
to prevent your Free Trade neighbor from
reaching a seat in Congress. And we can fur
ther inform you that unless he changes his views,
Mr. Parker will never have his ambition satis
fied by a majority of the freemen of the 17th
Congressional district. The “Tarrif Whigs"
will see to that. Two years hence the Railroad
will be completed.
0.7 . Our friends of the Pa. Register, (who
arc doubtless very clever fellows) need have no
apprehensions on our account. We are bearing
our recent triumph remarkably well, consider
ingits unparallelled brilliancy. We are blessed
with a tolerably good constitution, and can work
otf either victory or defeat without in the least
endangering our physical or mental faculties.
Still, the Register editors are entitled to our
thanks for their kind wishes, and in return will
please accept our heartfelt condolence in this,
the autumn of "their discontent."
YOUNG MEN !
Think before you vote on the 7th of Novem
ber. We know that there is not a young man
in the county of Huntingdon, who does not ad
mire and honor the name and fame of Old Rough
and Ready. Why then vote against him? It is
undoubtedly the interest of every young man
just starting in life that Whig policy should pre
vail in this country. Why then vote against a
man you admire and your own interests simply
because yeti do not happen to call yourself a
Whig. Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR is bound
to be elected and the Taylor Party is destined
to be the great popular party of this country for
years to come. We therefore again call upon
every young man to pause and reflect before de
ciding to vote against Taylor. Taylor is emi
nently deserving your vote. Patriotism, your
own interest, and every consideration which
should determine your course, call loudly
upon you to rally under the all-conquering
ban
ner of Old Rough and Ready. Young Men !
• vote for Taylor, then, and you will never regret
it to the latest day of your lives.
Ominous.
Our neighbor's pole, which has graced his
office all summer, broke in twain on the receipt
of the news electing Johnston. And we observe
that but ono of the three streamers now floats
from the stump which remains. The November
storm will take the last of the Mohegans.
'Free Soil Vote.
It will be observed that the Free Soil vote in
the North went for Longstreth. We mean the
Lot:Once Free Soilers. In November Van Bu
ren will get this vote, and hence Taylor will
carry the Stute by a large majority.

TO BE REMEMBERED.
REMEMBER
That "eternal vigilance is the price of Lib
erty." It requires as much care to preserve
political rights as it does to secure them. Our
present Rulers have usurped KINGLY POW
ERS—tranipled upon the Constitution, and con.
temptaously Vetoed .the known will of the Peo
ple, as expressed through their Representatives.
An opportunity will soon be presented to re
buke usurpations. To neglect this opportunity
will be to endorse the usurpers. To improve
it will be to strengthen the stakes of Freedom.
REMEMBER
That Lewis Can said at Cleveland, that thQ
success of the Locofoco party would be an en
dorsement
of the acts of the present Executive,
and a guide to his successor. What Whig is
willing to endorse the Annexation of Texas—
the Extension of Slavery—the unconstitutional
commencement of the War—the censure of
Gen. Taylor's humanity—the repeal of the
Tariff of 'l2—or the Veto of the River and
Harbor Bill
It will be seen that our Coon has got the
Globe's Chicken foul this week.

era to carry their Slaves into New Mexico and '
California. His idea is that it would not be
wise to quarrel with the South on the mere
question of excluding Slavery temporarily from
free territories recently acquired. This con
cession would render Slavery permanent in
those territories. The only hope cf Freedom
there is to keep ofT the Slave influence until the
territories are organized into States.
REMEMBER
That all that ever has been done for Freedom
has been done by the Whig l'arty; and that the
action of the friends of Birney, in 1844, secured
the election of Polk, the Annexation of Texas,
the Wnr and the threatened Extension of Sla
very. Let the folly of the Past warn us against
similar fully in the Future.
REMEMBER
That as a full vote is a Whig victory." In
this State Locofocoism has no hope but in the
apathy of the Whigs. "We can't be whipped
when we all pull together." Then, UP !
GUARDS AND AT 'EM !"
The Tune Changed.
Previous to every election the Locofocos have
nothing but the most honied words to address to
the People. They call them the "dear people,"
and plead with them to come out and vote down
the Whigs, and assist them in securing office.
But when the People undertake to think for
themselves, and vote to sustain their own inter
ests, they change their tune, and denounce the
“dear people" in unmeasured terms. The truth
of this is forcibly illustrated in the course pur
sued by the Locofoco press towards the Miners
and Laborers of Schuylkill county. Because
they voted for Johnston and a Protective Tariff,
the Globe of last week denounces them as the
mere "SLAVES" of their employers. And
this too, in very large type so that the attention
of all may be attracted to it. Well, rail on
neighbor. All the votes you can make for Cass
by calling poor Laboring men "slaves" you are
welcome to. We can assure you that the Mi
ners of Schuylkill will give you additional cause
to denounce them after the 7th of November.
The vote for Johnston was but an April shower
in comparison to the Taylor storm which will
sweep the Tariff county of Schuylkill in No
vember.
Look Here.
Every body who desires to see plenty of mo
ney, good prices, and the prosperity of the in
dustrious poor as well as the rich will cast their
votes for Gen. Taylor. Those who desire the
reverse will go for Cass.
More Changes for Taylor.
We understand, says the Miners' Journal,
that the recent Locofoco candidate for Prothon
otary, the Clerk of the County Commissioners,
the Postmasters at Schuylkill Haven, and Or
wigsburg, with several other prominent men in
the Locofoco ranks, have come out openly for

should hesitate to give a few days time to add
to its glory. We would beg leave respectfully

In the course of a speech recently made at
Vicksburg, by Col. Jefferson Davis, now a Sen
ator of the United States, and a member of the
political party of which Gen. Cass is the head,
he alluded to the battle of Buena Vista, and to
the dauntless conduct of Ohl Invincible on that
occasion. He said that during the progress of
the battle, after he (Col. Davis) was wounded,
Gen. Taylor came and sat down by him—the
firm determination on his brow seemed strug
gling with an expression of deep sorrow for the
brave fellows who had fallen and those who
were yet to bite the dust—when, on being in
terrogated as to his purposes, he replied, while
the fire of an unconquered will gleamed in his
eye.--“MY WOUNDED ARE BEHIND ME,
AND I SHALL NEVER PASS THEM A

What a noble sentiinent! How admirably
suited for a motto for the Taylor banners of the

for the wounded rank and file—how well calcu

the American People. Who would not glory to
rally under such a chieftain! The Hero, the
Christian, and the Man, are at once united in
Zachary Taylor, and his heart is as generous and
magnanimous, as his head is sagacious and
clear.
Are You Assessed ?
Friends of Taylor, remember that Sat

that any man can be assessed to have a

that all are assessed who will be enti

THE CAUSE.
The Sunbury American, the organ of Loco
focolsm in Northumberland county, thus speaks
of the causses which led to the late overwhelm
ing defeat of its party in Pennsylvania. We
commend the article to the attention of our
neighbor of the Globe, who still adheres to Free
Trade
THE RESULT AND ITS CAUSES.—The re
stilt of the election throughout the State
will, no doubt, mortify as well as sur
prise many. To us, we confess, the re
sult was not wholly unexpected, and
therefore not surprising. We have
thought, and we have said, for years past
that the inevitable tendency of the policy
pursued by those in power, must necssari
ly bring about such a result. The pec
plc of Pennsylvania are emphatically an
industrious and working people, and it
is therefore natural to suppose that they
would be jealous of their rights in pro.
testing that industry. The sudden and
shameless d‘sertion of those who profess
ed to be governed by the principles of the
tariff of 1812, is now every claymore ant
more apparent, and other bad policy of
, their course made manifest.
OUR VICTORY.
The Whigs of other States are elated
with the success of the friends of Tay
lor in Pennsylvania—the good news has
spread like wild fire all over the Union,
and is hailed as a prestage of the tri
umphant victory in November. The
Albany evening Journal expresses its
gratification in the following pleasant
strain
Although we have not yet heard from
the last county, it appears safe to claim
the Governor.—But as Whigs have
enough besides upon which to base the
claim of a glorious victory in that State
it may be well enough to "crow" by in
stalments! We have a majority of the ,
members of Congress. That is worth
, three cheers. We have the legislature
—sure. That deserves three guns. We
will have a United States Senator ! That
will justify a universal shout of exulta
tion. Now, if it shall turn out that we
have the Governor, Canal Commissioner
and the whole vast patronage of the
I State, why the " Old Keystone" should
be honored by the thunder from a whole
park of artillery. Let the poet give his
views of this route of locofocoism :
c , Bow are the mighty fallen!
And by the People's hand! Low lie the proud,
And smitten by the weapons of the poor--
The blacksmith's hammer and the woodman's
axe !
THEIR TALE IS TOLD; and, for that they were rich
And robbed the poor—and, for that they were
strong
And scourged the weak—and, for that they made
laws,
Which turns the sweat of labor's brow to blood-.-
FOR THESE THEIR SINS TILE NATION CASTS THEM
OUT."
To Culla THE HICCUP.—HoId up, high
above your head, two fingers of your
hand ; lean back in your seat, opening
your mouth and throat, so as to give a
free passage to your lungs; breathe ve•
ry long and softly, and look very stead
ily at your fingers.
Address,
The State Central Committee congratulate
their brethren in Pennsylvania, and throughout
the Union, on the splendid result of the recent
election which has recovered our glorious oil
Commonwealth from the hands of the spoilers
who have so long preyed upon her vitals ; and
given to her a proud position in the great con
federacy of which she forms so considerable a
member.
Tc;rturns already received, tl.ot gh not offi
cial, are sufficiently reliable to w•arrr:nt us in
announcing the election of a Whig Governor, of
a Whig majority of the Congressional delega
tion, of an increased majority of the State Scn=
ate, and of a derided Whig majority in the low=
er branch of the Legislature—with the neces
sary consequence of a Whig United States Sen
ator, and of a Whig Treasurer of the State.
These results are eminently gratifying. They
have been produced by a deep seated conviction
in the minds of the people that a change in the'
administration of the State and National Gov
ernments is essential to their prosperity and
welfare, and a stern determination to rebuke and
avenge the scandalous frauds which were prac
tised upon them in the Canvass of 181.1. To
the workingmen of the State—those who toil in
the mines, and the furnaces, and the forges, and
the factories—This great revolution is in a large --
degree to be attributed. Convinced that their
I interests had been betrayed by the leaders of
the miscalled Democratic party, and assured
that those interests would be restored by the
election of Johnson as Governor, and Taylor as
President, they have rallied to our standard by
thousands, and Lire assisted us to achieve a
triumph such as this country has not heretofore
witnesseda triumph as brilliant, as it is des
tined to be permanent.
I Of the result of the election in November, we
do not entertain n doubt. All the cruises which
I influenced the campaign whiel has just closed,.
I will operate with redoubled force ; and added
'
to these, the unbounded and richly earned pop
;
clarity of our great leader, will bring vast mull
. bets to the polls who bare hitherto not voted
I with us. The name of General Taylor-4he
honest, incorruptible, inflexible, true hearted
man of the people—is a oe tower of strengh
which they upon the adverse faction want," and
the sturdy sons of Pennsylvania, her laborers,
and mechanics, and manufacturers, and farmers,
will show on the 7th of November, how deeply
they cherish the memory of his deeds, and bow
,arnestly they appreciate the excellence of
1., character.
lint while we are confident of success, we
must urge our fellow citizens to renewed and
redoubled efforts.—The organization which has
been adopted, ramified into almost every election
district, must be sustained and perfected—the
friends of Taylor and Fillmore must be every
where active and vigilant—township meetings
must be constantly held—documents containing
the lives of our candidates, must be circulated—
discussions as to the merits of our principles
must be invited—in a word, all honorable ef
forts must be employed to accumulate such a
majority as will satisfy all the world that Penn
sylvania is lolly, firmly, and gloriously redeem
ed from the bondage of LocoMcoism. Our op
ponents, though prostrate and vanquished, are
preparing for the coming contest with the des
peration of men who know that their political
existence depends upon the result ; and in thdr
death struggle they will not hesitate to resort
to any means, however vile, or adopt any
scheme, however fraudulent, to give them the
possible chance of escape from the doom which
awaits them.
Again we say, then, to our friends every
where—to all those, by whatever party name
they may have heretofore been designated, who
have contributed to the grand result which has
just been accomplished—be active, vigilant and

THE BRITISH FREE TRADERS AT
WORK AGAIN !
The Daily News of a late date, gives the fol
lowing warning to the friends of the Tariff:-
44 We warn the friends of the Protection of
American Industry to be on their guard, and to
prepare themselves for another game of LOCO
FOCO DECEPTION like that of '44 ! We
are credibly informed that the British Free
Trade Locofoco leaders in this city are about
manufacturing a letter for Lewis Cass, like that
which John K. Kane, George M. Dallas, and
others, manufactured for James K. Polk in
1814. Having failed in electing Longstreth,
they have now determined to change their tac
tics, and make another effort to swindle the
people of the Keystone State into the support
of Lewis Cass by a similar fraud to that of
1844.
Friends of the Tariff, of Home Labor, and of
a Home Market, be on your guard against this
new concocted scheme of Locofocoism to wrest
the State from you.
GEN. TAYLOR'S ABILITY.-The NetiOrkana
Delta. says:—Gen. Taylor's remarks at the
great Barbecue at Pass Christian were entirely
extemporaneous. No elaborate preparation
could have made them better. As a narative of
the battle of Buena Vista, they are clear, graph
ic and forcible: and the expositions of the rea
sons which led them to fight that battle, almost
against the positive orders of his governmens,
are set forth in a most admirable style and ten.
