Oi•kanize !
WLigs of old Huthingdon ! the time for action
hairagiiri . artiVed. In six weeks you will again
be ceded' fifain to endorse your principles by
your votes. The tithe for preParation is short,
but long enough if you e l go' to work vigorous
ly and at once. O s RGARIZATION is the Gist
work to be performed. Without organizaiithi,
the result is always doubtful. We luipe there
fore, that the whigs of the several townshipi
will attend to this duty at once. Let TOwn:
ship Committees be appointed, whose duty it
shall be to organize the Whig forces of the sev
eral townships, and perform such other duty as
the good of the cafis'e may require.
If this be done in every township in Hunting
don county, and the Committees appointed faith ,
fully perform their luty, a commanding Whig
victory may be again confidently looked for in
October.
It is true, that we have no Governor or Pres
ident to elect this fall ? but the election is quite,
if not more important? than if we had. This
will be apparent to all who facet that
the advantage to the country of having a Whig
President and a Whig GoVernor depends Orion
their being sustained by the People. If Penn•
Sylvania goes Locofoco at the ensuing
. election,
the shout will go forth that TAYLOIi and
JOHNSTON have been condemned, and hence
their recommendations should be repudiated by
the National and State Legislatures ; but if they
are sustained in Pennsylvania this fall, we care
not what the political complexion of the next
Congress may be, a TARIFF that will PRO
TECT Pennsylvania interests, will be enacted
before this time next year. Mark the predic
tion. The moral effect of another Whig victo
ry in the old Keystone, will insure this result.
And in our own Legislature, the work com
menced last winter by 1 ov. Johnston, of RE
DUCING THE STATE DEBT, will be .ad
hered to, and other measures of reform carried
out.
Is there not cnorigh in theSeconsideratifts to'
arouse every Whig, every Laborer, every Me
chanic, every Farmer, every Manufacturer, LW
siness men of every calling, who pay taxes and
properly cobsider their oWn' interests:-4f so,
the first duty is to organize. Let this, then, be
attended' , to' of once.
Laconic.
The Locofocos of this county nominated their
County Ticket on Wednesday evening, and the
Globe was issued on the following Tuesday.—
And after having four days for reflection, (Sun.
day excepted,) the edito'r thus announces the
Ticket to hie readers :
"Ora Ticnrr.—Whot we bare to sayfortbe
Democratic nominees is reserved for future
numbers."
Brief enough, in all conscience ! And us non
committal as it is brief. Ilow to assail the
above article we conl'ess is ahead o! our ingenu
ity. It is truly a " hard article to reply to."
What'■ wrong, neighbor? Can't you go the
ticket? or were you se delighted with the nom•
inees, that you could not "do justice to the sub
ject" in the space of four days. Probably you
may consider us meddlesome, and entirely too
inquisitive for a Whig, but really we would
like to know, neighbor, whether you are for or
against the Locofoco nominees? You see, it is
possible its migl.t have something to say about'
some of them previous to the election,if they are
not to be totally abandoned to their fate by you.
Come, neighbor, speak right out in meetin'
anil let us know your sentiments.
OUR CANDIDATE.
THE NOMINATION OF HENRY M
FULLER.
The nomination of HENRY M. FULLER,
as the Whig candidate, is received every whete
With the liveliest satisfaction. The response to
the nomination thibughout thi State, is watm
and enthusiastic. And every indication favas
the belief that the campaign Will be vigorously
prosecuted on the part of the Whigs. Our can
didate is capable and popular, the best feeling
every where prevails mining the Whig masses,
and all that is wanting to achieve A decisive and
important victory in October, iS a full turn
wit at the Polls. Shall we not have this in old
Huntingdon county
Our 6}ilef object, ho'v9,vet, at this time, is to
gitte our readers a Wier histiiry of the candidate
placed ha rtomittatio`n HY the Whig State Con-
Ventidn. And this is furnished us by a writer
in' the Ndith Arherican, familiar with the hie
fen.), df Mr. Fuller. The writer aftei announ
-416g tare nomination, says :
This result \vas anticipated, for his abili
ties, integrity, end hi4h public and private qual
ities had gone before him into the discussion;
and the unanimity which combined the voices
of all sections of the State, is a proud and grat
ifying evidence that, with an enlightened people,
true merit never fails to win an adequate appre
ciation. This triumph has been produced by
no influence nor exertion of Mr. Fuller; for he
has never raised a voice or stirred a hand to ob•
tain his nomination. Nor have bis friends'-and
the foremost Merl iii the Stati are his friends=
recognized any serious necessity for infefferenee
in his behalf. There Is a tnioyancy In his ninny
merits that has upborne him; and that will se•
cure his election, as it has his unanimous nomi
nation. He is emphatically die candidate of the
people.
Mr. FULLER is generally ialiven to the pro.
ple of his native state; yet a brief notice of his
career and character may not, at this time, be
iinaceePtilite. 'lent* M. Fuller is the only
son of the lafe Arnzi Fuller, Usq., a very able
and esteemed lawyer of Wayne county. The
elder Mr. Fuller was sin iiversally respectert
and beloved, not only in his own section, lint
throughout the State. Me 'left to his son th,e
inestimable heritage of a fair name and noble
example. The candidate of the Whig party df
Pennsylvania was born in Wayne county; and
received every advantage that can be beitowed
by the most liberal education=havind gfaduated;
as we are informed, at Princeton. From the
earliest petted of his life, be has beefs known as
a sedulou s and severe student;
..fetarning
to his.riatiye county, he was, within thq• regular
Period, admitted to the practice. Of the law.
His early virtues gave promise or great fnture
excellence ; and we havq been infOrnied by an
aged citizen, of Philadelphia, of Unsarpassed
repiantioft throughout Pennsylvania, that he has
known Mr. FUller from childhood, and has al
' ways noted him as one worthy of, and destined
to, eminence—for that in all the relations of
life, and in reference to every duty, he has con
stantly challenged admiration and confidence.
Shortly after his admission, he removed to Lu
zerne county, and entered upon the practice of
his profession at Wilkesharre. Ilere,.in a con':
inanity of eminent intelligence, and a highly in:
telligent, bar, he soon rose to an enviable sta
tion. As a lawyer, he is Weir-reed, logical and
eloquent. His attention was not, however, ex
clusively confined to his profession; the Whig
party was then struggling, with patriotic, but
ihricist hopeless resolution, against overwhelm
ing majorities ; and Mr. Fuller, reeognizing in
the principles of the Whigs, the only guarantee
for National and State prosperity and honor, did
not hesitate to enter with zeal into the contest.
Year after year he was to be found when the
party most needed a soldier; on the stump] iif
he,committee room, at the Press, or by the
ballot box, he was still a chaMpion that never
faliered. His exertions contributed largely to,
the iesene of Liserife from Latifocolim, and
when elected to the Legislature ? his own hi'gh'
majority proved his personal popularity atifonit
those who best knew him. . .
• -
[The writer next speaks of the high Bland
taken by Mr. Fuller in the Legislature, an&
concludes as follows :]
Liberal in all his sentiments, Mr. Fuller is
in favor of the largest Democratic Whig prin
ciples ; and is numbered with the friends of en
ergetic but wise and guarded progress. He ad
vocates a economy, and will be found an
unsparing, fob to the ruthless and corrupt ex
travagance with which the majority of the pre
sent board have disgraced the State. Hi car:
eiders reform to be demanded in all the branches
of the administration of the public works. The
patronage of the Canal Board is enormous and
overshadowing ; it has been in the hands of Lo-
co:bcoism for many years ; and they have built
up a giant structure of oppression and wrong.
The State demands a IVEFO.RM of these abuses;
and Mr. Fuller has the ability, the courage and
the patriotism to meet any expectations in this
regard, which the virtuous portion of our peo
ple may form of him. With such a candidate,
it needs only union and action to secure a tri
umph that will outshine that of last fall."
Proscription.
As our neighbor of the Globe is becoming
scionced in denouncing proscription, we have . a
krtall case to bring to his notice. In a certain
county cettain Locofoco was a candidate last
fall for re-election tr. , / an office to which he had
been first elected by *hig votes. A certain
Whig editor deemed it his duty to oppose him
and lie was defeated. For this offends, the Lc) ,
cofoeo in question withdrew the remainder of
his advertising from the editor who thus dared
oppose him, and wickedly proscribed him to
the amount of three whole dollars! Now,
neighlkt; wfiaf should be done to this proscrip
tionist, sheuid he pia Ord h?mself for an elec
tion to a county oft.?
P. S. In reflecting con the alicke' slated case
of cruel proscripticd, neighbtrr, please take info'
consideration that potato Ind and that
three dollars 'was some' in said editor's calcd
lations for winter provisions. And now, With'
these remarks, as lawyers say, we leave'
fhb' case with you, in the full assurance that so
sfa`rdy an op'pbnent of proscription as you have
prticlaitned yourself to be, can never support
one who has been guilty of Putting the abhorred
principle into practical operation, and that, too,
under such aggravating circumstances.
17 The Harrisburg Keystone, after all its
bluster against the State Treasurer, now admits
that if the old debts on the public works are not
paid, the responsibility rests with the Canal
Cdistniodotiers and their officers.

Our Ticket
The Blair County Whig, in speaking of the
Whig Ticket of this county; says
" We are persona* acquainted with all the
gentlemen on the above ticket, and have no heiin
Haney in pronouncing it one of the best and
strongest tickets ever nominated by the Whigs
of " Old Huntingdon." A. K. Cornyn receiv
ed the unanimous nomination of the convention,
Which wan a just compliment to bis sterling
Worth, indomitable firmness in the the cense of
Whig principles, and his able'and valuable ser
vices during the sitting of the last Legislat u re.
Lieut. Doyle, the candidate for freasuret,
served his country in the war with Mexico, un
der the brave Capt. Caldwell, as a lieutenant,
—is a young man of merit, a good whig, and de
serving of the united support of every whig in
the county, and we have no doubt will be tri
umphantly elected."
Oar friends of the Whig are right. Wt lever
knew a Ticket to be so well received in this
county. And all that is wanting to elect every
man upon it by five hundred majority, is a full
turn out on the second Tuesday of October. •
Q7' Attention is invited to the Address of
the "Young Man's Whig Association," of Phil-
Puplished in another column. It is a
stirring appeal to .he Whigs of Voiinsiiithia,
and especially the young Whigs, to arouse to
action in the coming contest. We bespeak for
it s. careful reading, and hope every Whig in
Huntingdon, both young and old, will act in ac
cordance with the suggestions it contains.

Terrible Accident.
On Wednesday last, a premature explosion
occurred in the Tunnel on the Pa. Railroad, near
the mouth of Spruce Creek, by which eight la
borers were so badly injured that the lives of
several of them are dispaired of.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
Matthew Hart, one of the injured men, died on
the second day following the accident.
Gov. Johnston In a Fix.
The Hollidaysburg Register says ""Gover
nor Johnston accompanies Gen. Taylor on his
tour through Pennsylvania. At Bedford the
Governor had quarters for the night provided at
Crouse'. Hotel, in the town. Gen. Taylor was
to stay over night at the Springs, In the course
of the evening, however, a committee from the
Springs waited on the Governor and solicited
his company at the Ball in honor of the Presi
dent, and the Governor complied with their
wishes. Mr. Crouse, supposing that the Gov
drnor Would remain over night at the Springs,
gave by his room to others, who would other
*me have had to put up with harder fare. But
toWards the close of the fete, the Governor took

'rough and ready' style, slept the remaining
hours of night away. Aint he a b'hoy of the

Locofoco Conventions which met recently at
Rowe, N. Y.,_ for the purpose of uniting the
party i n that State, separated without effecting
that object. Committees were appointed by
both parties, and various propositions in regard
to slavery were proposed and discussed, but no
compromise could be effected. They agreed to
disagree' and separated as bitterly hostile to
each other as ever.
Old Zack.
. Our friend of the Hollidaysburg Register was
at Bedford on the occasion of Gen. Taylor's re
ception at that place. He seen the old Hero,
heard him speak, and conversed with him,—and
on his return home, thus describes hifn in his
paper. He says
"Although not handsome in terson, he is nev
ertheless a fine lookint old fell i nvi; ; and whilst
not eloquent on the fliruriii he 'talks like a book'
--ceicverses with an ease, grace, and fluency to
he ititely met with. He ties a quick, keen eye,
and his actions are as quick as thought. He
seems to move on the instant, never pausing to
debute whether ho shall act or not. • The truth
that "General Taylor never, ettrenteis," and
that lie is a man of iron firmness, and great in
-1 dependence of character, stands out in everjt
lineament of his face. None but the fddl-hecTIV
can question these points. But the great, the
distinguishing feature of his character is, a can
! dor that puts all dissimulation to shame—astrait
, forwardness truly wonderful—an open and free
and undisguised expression of sentiment and feel
ing never exhibited by public man before.--
And coupled with this is a modesty moat win
ning and worthy of admiration. He seems mi
-1 conscious that he is the great official dignitary
of the land ; and is not in the least uplifted,
proud, haughty or arrogant. We might almost
lay he is familiar to a fault. Instead of wear
' ing his honors with arristocratic airs, he rather
f eschews all pride of place, and remains but
"Rough and Ready" still—a man of the people,
and the people's man. • • • •
Take him all in all, ZACHARY TAYLOR is a
man of a million;, and traditce him as his ene
mies may, he will leave the impress fie a man
of noble parts upon tte gicVernMeiff of the
Union. His adthirtisttalidn, (judging from the
stamp of the man gift' its conduct thus far,) is
destined, we fondly trust and believe, to prove
a glorious era in our National history ; and that
the old man's On may go down with its present
brilliancy dirtdrnished is all that his friends cart
desire."
Carlisle Democrat—one of the moat
decided focofoco papers in the State thus
Beaks of the late visit of General Taylor tcfthat
tic/ftough :
"On Monday last, we had 66 fionOr
of a visit from our Chief Magistrate; and
the recollection of Buena Vista appear
ed to have been revived anew by the
sight of the veritable, actual flesh and
blood of the old hero wha Commanded
our troops on that glorious day. Our
citizens, without distinction of party,
joined in giving Gen. Tay for a cordial
and hearty welcome,--and every one we
believe was highly gratified and pleased,
both with the manners and appearance
of their President. Whatever we may
think of the politics of the old chieftain,
we were certainly very much gratified
with him as an individual. In stature
he is smaller titan our in:a:gin:WA had
pictured him, but his proportions are
better
", and his address much more plea
sing.
How admirably this language contrasts with
that used on a similar occasion by a paper be
longing to the same party, printed nrot a hundred
miles from the same place.
Gov. Johnston's Popukirity.
The public receptions of Gen. Taylor and Gov.
Johnston during their recent trip, exhibited in
a striking manner the Warm and enthusiastic
regard in which our worthy Governor is held
by the people. At no stopping place did they
fail to call him out, and the brief, but spirit
touching speeches with which he re rponded, in
variably drew spontaneous shouts of applause.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, who
accompanied Gen. Taylor to York, and heard
Governor Johnston's address there, says
"By the way, I was greatly struck
with that same Governor Johnson. He
is decidedly the finest looking man I
saw on the whole route. Standing six
feet one in his boots, weighing overtwo
hundred pounds, beautifully proporti
oned, with nn open, honest, good-hu
mored countenance, kind and affable in
his manners, Got. Johnson could not
fail to attract marked attention in any
assembly. He is greatly beloved by
the Pennsylvanians who are justly
proud of their handsome Governor. At
every place where Gen. Taylor wagys ,
ceived, as soon as the President had
spoken to the crowd, the next call was
for "Johnston;" "Johnston." He was
obliged to gratify the assembly by ma
king a speech—which, he always. does
in the right style'. His whinner is dig
nified and graceful—and his mßtier al
ways sensible and to the point."

,GREENSI3I7Ita, Aeg. 17, ISO
From Bedford Springs to Greensburg, the
President has met the people by thousands. A t
every town, village, cross -road, hamlet and tav
ern, they have turned out en massr—men, wo
men and children—and greeted him as no man
was ever before greeted, nt least in this part of
tlth country. To relate all the incidents and
describe every reception—to give the names of
committees, the addresses and repliesawould
remlire a,volume larger than could be written
in a month.. It has been impossible to write
frbm every point-Isfaking off fiVai theioarney
early in the, morning,, and bringing 6rilY long
after ordinarY bedtime, leaves but little room
to do any thing else.
The journey from 1141K:ink Springs to Somer
set county was over u dteary road, fhrough the
mountains, with only here and {'here a dwelling
and occasionally a tavern, the rdad being much
frequented by drovers. The President, Geyer:
nor and suit, stopped at one of these taverns. in
the mountains to dine, and though the exterior
was anything but prepossessing, the meal fur
nished would do credit to many of our fir
hotels. The President, after dinner w
mingled freely with the crowd, and soon ec
engaged in an interesting conversation with
rank Locofoco, touching hie political principles,
promises, 'broken pledges,' &c., In which he
wound up his antagonist in a way at once dig-
nified and goad natured. The conversation ran
somewhat after this fashion
Loco... -[ Walking up to the President,] 'Gin
eralt how d'ye do? I'm glad to see ye, but I
didn't Vote rote fur ye, 'cense I'm a Dimocrat.'
Gen. Taylor.z—l'm just as glad to see you for
all that; I came here to see Whigs, Democrats,
and Natives, and all, and am glad to see all.
Lore.—You said you should he the President
Of the people and not of a party, and you would
slot bd proscriptive;
but you've Untied out the
Dimocrate and nobody else !
.Gets, Taylor... Who eine could I turn out . /
Nearly all the office-holders were of your party,
and I, of course, desired an equalization. If I
should let year friends have all the places, and
the Whigs hone, it would be proscribing the
Whiga!
Loeb.--;-You're right, Giudtal; neiert thmight
of that. I b'lieve the DimOcratd slid hale all
the places—that's a fact ! They first got 'em
from Gineral Jackson.
Gen. Taylor.—Yes, my good friend, they've
had possession of them for nearly twenty years;
and they ought &be satisfied with their half
hereafter.
The argameni was conclusive, and the L6co
foco could not escape • so with more honesty
than is possessed by those from whom he drew
his complaints, be 'confessed the grain,' and
owned up. The whole affair ended in a general
laugh, end the Laconic() at parting, shook the
President by the hand, repeating, 'you're right;
Gineral, you're right !' till the carriage rolled
away.
At the summit of one of the Allegheny ran
ges, within a few miles of Somerset,'4 large pro
cession had collected to escort the, President to
town, and was at least three quarters of a mile
in length. Considering that but one house was
standing any where in sight, the gathering was
extraordinary. The President stepped down
among the crowd in company with the (lover
ernor, and entered into the most faroaliar con
versation. The women Would rush to kiss him,
and the little girls were eager to follow.
A few miles from' Sernerset the I/resident and
party were met by ade Cation in carriages,
headed bit Hon. A. J. Ogle ; and before enter+
ing the place the procession was more than a
mile in length. It entered the town at about
7 o'clock in the evening, and the President was
warmly received by Col. W. S. Pearson, and
conducted to the hotel, where he spent an hour
before tea in receiving his friends. After sup
per the ladies of the town flocked in in great
numbers, some of them protracting their visit
till late in the evening.
The party left Somerset at 7 o'clock this
morning, dining at Ligonier, where the Presi
dent was again warmly received by hundreds on
horseback, in carriages, and a-foot. Driving
on towards Greensburg, within ten miles of the
place, at the foot of a steep and rather roman
tic elevation, surrounded on nearly every side
by the ruggedclitts of the Alleghenies, the Pres
ident stopped at a plain but substantial stone
house, its exterior resembling an ancient castle,
while the interior gave the amplest evidence of
substantial comfort and cultivated taste. It was
the paternal residence of Governor Johnston.—
The President jumped from the carriage with
the alacrity of twenty-two, and at once recog

A sumptuous repast was prepared and was in

and the President hasterted on. The procession
of horses and carriages at this place was a mile
in length. The old men rode up to the carriage

demonstrations of,the most extravagant delight.

ARRIVAL AND ItECEPTION AT'
PITTSBURGH.
Pirreatmoif; Saturday Evening,
.August 18, 1849.
I have only time to drop you a line. he
Piesident and suite arrived here this evening,
atid . the old hero meta most cordial and enthu
siastic reception. The route from Greensburg
was almost literally , thronged with citizensanx
ions to see and extend a cordial greeting to the
President, and when the party arrived within
about 12 miles of this city, it was met by in
immense processiou, scarcely lees, I should,
judge, than two miles in length, and escorted'
into town. In the city nearly all business had
been suspended, and by the tinie the processioti
had gained the suburbs, the long straight street
by which it entered was crowded as far as the
eye cotakreach. Probably not half the num
ber had ever assembled before on any one occa
sion. The seindoivs the doors, and the house
tops were all crowde d' to their utmost capacity.
Salutes *ere fired from the different hills over.
looking the city, the bells were rung, and to.
gether with the music, the tumult of voices, the
trampling of thousands of horses, and the rum.
Wing Of as many carriage wheels, the scene was
altogether such an one as is only seen once in.,a
lifetime. It is estimated that seventy-five thou'-,
sand people were in attendance, to extend to
General Taylor a welcome to the Iron City, and:
surely ad man ever before elicited more heart
felt enthusiasm.
The procession, in which were several coin.
fatties of mititary under the command of Col..
Black, and the whole under the direction of
Wm. Larimer, jr. Esq., as Chief Marshal, after
Itruceedidg through many of the principal streets, •
hitlted in front of the Monongahela House, when
the. President was eloquently addressed by the ,
Hon. Walter Forward, ,to which he replied at
iionie length, alluding to the war, the state of
fhe cquntry, &c., with a plainness of style and
sincerity; which produced a marked effect upon'
dery,.heaser4 Afterwards the Governor, being
loudly call addresded , the crowd in a hap
.,e 'n and was rapturously,
tieing low, all the open
otel was crowded with
ds .etger see the President.. Thii
evening they have assembled in great
,pumbers,
the front of the hotel is illuminated, inside with
candles and outside bye profusion of fire works.
But I have no time for further Particulars.— .

sing, and will long be remembered. The Pres
