On Thursday lost an excursion trip from Har
risburg to Lewistown was made over the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The distance is 60 miles;
and it is said was run in one hour and fifty eight
minutes.
The cars commenced their regular trips from
Dillersviile near Lancaster, to Lewistown on
Saturday last. From an advertissment in the
Harrisburg Telegraph, we perceive that the
fare from Lewistown to Harrisburg is $2,10,
the highest rate allowed by law to be charged—
from Lewistown to Dillersville $3,40. An af
ternoon opposition line lately ran from Colum
bia, in which they charged $1,50 from Lancas
ter to Philadelphia—if this line is still contin
ued, the fare from Lewistown to the city would
be $5, or if the old rates are charged $O.

Locoroco Lova eon Tits VotrkrESas !
Capt SatALt. has been defeated for a re-nomina

Philadelphia county. His succeseful competi

PennsylVania Regiment, in the Mexican War,
and served with great distinction. This is the
way Locofocoism rewards the brave volunteers
for whom they profess so !smith love.
True.
As is not always the case with rumors, the
rumor we noticed last week that the dissatisfied
Locofocos were about bringing out another can
dilate for the Legislature, proves td be correct.
The announcement appeared in the Globe oT
last week, and will be found in our advertising
columns this week. Mr. Jon Moan's, of this
borough, quite an intelligent and heretofore an
active and loyal member of the Locofoco party
of this county, is the gentleman selected. He
has heretofore held several appointments on the
Canal from the Locofoco party, and we under
stand always made an industrious end useful of
ficer. His supporters allege that he will be
well supported by his party in this borough
and throughout the county. We shall see.
Gratifying
We learn that many of the honest, tax-pay.
ing members of the Locotneo party, whose only
object is the iublic good, declare their intuition
of voting for HENRY M. FULLER for Cana
Comffissioner. They say they will never give
their votes in favosr of ereet?ng the entire board
from one party. A Locofoco of this kind re
rnnrkes to us the other day, that he would vote
for FULLER, “because," said he, "1 believe
there will always be more honesty in the Canal
Board when both parties are represented, than
when it is composed exclusively of members
of one party." We think he is right, and no

practical in its effects. All systems which give

of the great industrial classes of the country—
which seek to aggrandize a few at the expense
of the many , -are a clear violation of those prin
ciples of Deinocracy which proclaims to all
equality of rights.
Now let us look at the lb!lowing, adopted by
the Whig State Convention at Harrisburg,
which nominated Henry M. Fidler as the Whig
candidate for the same office
Resolved, That protection to the industry of
the people is one of the first duties of Govern
ment; that the true interests of the State and
nation are best promoted by placing the manu
facturer, mechanic and laborer, side by side with
the agriculturalist—the days of the greatest
prosperity for the conutry have been those when
domestic labor has been protected, unnecessary
and excessive importation of foreign fabrics pre
vented by a proper Tariff of duties, and in our
opinion, such results have not followed the Ta
riff of 1816, and can never be promoted by its
continuance.
Resolved, That as Pennsylvanians we cannot
submit to see our iron manufactures thrown idle,
our mines of coal rendered valueless, our labor
ers and cititens unemployed, our Capital de
stroyed; and business paralyzed, to try any fur

WsY TENNESSEE WENT LOCOFaCO.-The
Nashville Union, the leading Locofoco paper in
Tennessee, has a column of eltultation over the
recent victory in that State. The Union as
cribes the cause, first to the fact that ten. Tay
lor called "two furiods and fanatical abolition
ists" into his Cabinet, and secondly because the
Locofocos had taken ground against the Wilmot
Proviso had all kindred Measures at all hazzards
and to the last eritrelnity, and BROWN, the Whig
candidate for tiovernor, denounced that resolu
tion as leading to disunion, and proclaimed an
acre of Stinker Hill worth all the valley of the
Rio Grande, though studded with diamonds and
filled with slaves. "Upon this issue," says the
Union, , the people have left him almost alone
in his glory."
Manners, alibi thotecii Making.
Some of the Opposition Journals find it rare
sport to criticise Gen. Taylor's speeches, and
ridicule his manners. They say that he is awk
ward before strangers, and does not make a fa
vorable impression. On this point there may
well be a difference of opinion. Surely enough
he has not the appearance of a dancing master,
but it has been well said that he gave a recep
tion to twenty thousand strangers at Buena Vis
ta in a style that few dancing masters could
have equalled.
As to his speech making, the people knew
very well what kind of speeches General Taylor
made before they elected him President. }lea
ven has bestowed divers gifts on divers persons.
It was not necessary for General Taylor to
make long speeches, in order to gain the popu
lar confidence; and that confidence will not be
withdrawn because he fails to make long
speeches.

Health of Gen. Taylor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.
In consequence of a telegraphic despatch re
ceived here last evening, announcing that Gen.
Taylor had been attacked by diarrhea, and that
he was lying very ill, Mrs. Taylor, the lady of
the President, accompanied by her daughter,
Mrs. Wood, left here this morning en route to
meet the General at Erie.
Later despatches state that the General was
recovering, and would leave Erie in a few days
for Buffalo.
Rhode Island Election.
By telegraph from Providence, R. 1., we have
returns from all the towns in the Western Dis

candidate has without doubt been elected to

Present majority is 639 votes, and James

the District which failed to make a choice at
the April election, and haying been represented
in the last Congress by Mr. Thurston, locofoco,
the election of Mr. Dixon is a Whig gain.

FORTY YEARS Aoo,—The Chambers
burg Whig, in noticing the recent visit
of Gen Taylor to that place, says:
" Forty years ago; as he himself sta

Ex-Governor Jones of Tennessee, has been
making a great speech in favor of the encoutige
ment of manufactures in that State.
It Will not be long before ths South will be
as strongly in favor of the protective policy as
the North ever was. At least the Whigs of the
South will be. The Locofocos are too uncer
tain to calculate upon. They are like the earn

It is said, that General To, lot in his reply
to the Harrisburg Committee, spoke of the 'La
ce/two presses" &c.—Pottsville Emporium.
It is said, that the above turns out to be a
confounded lie. But suppose he had spoken of
the false-styled 'democratic party' as ‘Locofo
cos,' he had good authority for using the term,
for we recollect to have seen several of their
papers during the campaign of 1814, the very
title of which was 'The Locofoco,' and a copy
of one of which, published by a pair of 'limo
crats' in Pittsburg we now have in our posses
sion, as a .voucher.'—Wash. Commonwealth.
The editor of a locofoco paper hi Lancaster,
is making fun of Gen. Taylor's speech there, be
cause he alluded to the 'horses sheep, and cattle
of Lancaster county.' It is supposed that the
wrath of the said editor is in consequence of the
General making no particular allusion to the
farts in that region. --11 , 434. Comnion wealth.

Sickness IQ York.
We regret to learn that the borough of York
is suffering severely from sickness. The Ad

that from four to eight persons die daily—prin

Physicians are now kept so busy that it is a dif

obtain their services.

TERRIBLE FATALlTY.—Sandusky City

George Berry, while engaged in May
last in the survey of the public lands
on Cedar river, was robbed by the same
Indians. The absence of troops front
the military posts in that region, may
measurably account for the boldness of
the Indians. Fort Crawford, situated

boundary, is deserted. Fort Atkinson,
situated adjacent to this boundary, in the .
heart of the exposed territory—situated
indeed, so as to completely awe the
whole tribe, is also deserted.—Chicago
