A tri-weekly Stage Line, to run between Jackstown, in this county, and Chambersburg, %vas granted some time since, by the Postmas ter- General. Mr. A.

Tuesday, the 9th day of October, just two weeks from the date of this paper, is the day of the General Election. We hope our Whig friends in the several townsh;ps are prepared for the contest. If not, there is no tim.: to lose. See that every Whig voter is at the polls, and when there, that they are furnished with the whole wldg Ticket. Let us make a clean sweep; by going it solid for the Ticket. It is compds ed of good and true Whigs. Representing the Peopli. The Globe charges Mr. Cornyn with not rep resenting the People, going for corporations, Ric, &c. These charges are about as reckless, and are made with about the same regard for truth and fairness, which usually characterize the ed itorials of that paper on the eve of an election. A glance at the course of Mr. Cornyn will sat isfy all that it was just the reverse Cf what the Globe represents. • When the citizens or Allegheny street In this borough, had no remedy at law for the damage done them by the Pennsylvania railroad Cdmpa ny, and were at the mercy of said cornpr.ny, Mr. Cornyn prdroptly took the side Of fhe peepiel and secured a remedy for them. The energy with which he acted in this matter e*ec the applause of both parties in this town, and the falsifier of the Glohe knows it. When the people asked for a new Judicial District, hard and difficult as it was to pass the measure, Ms. Cornyn carried it through. When Mr. Higgins . of Blair was using all his influence and ingenuity to have Morris town slip in this county, attached to Blair county, the vigilance and industry of Mr. Cornyn prevented In short, Mr. C. was always found MI the side .of his constiuents, manfully battling for their rights and interests, and the People know At. And for this reason the Whip unanimous ly re-nominated him, and for the same reason will re-eleet him 4,5 r en increased majority. 17 The fifth trial to elect a member of Con gress in the Fourth district of Massachusetts, has resulted in no choice. Mr. Palfrey, Free leads the poll, but has ants majority over loath hii opponents. Locoloco Pridictians--Whig He- form. Previous to the last Octcber election, the Huntingdon Globe, and the locofoco papers gen erally, celled upon the People to turn out and vote against Wm. F. Johnston, or the State would be utterly ruined. All can remember the large type used by our neighbor to render conspicuous his humbug eppeals to the people against the election of Johnston. It is Urine cessary to repeat all the claptrap arguments urged against the Whig candidate by the Globe, but the leadiirg nee aced, an which were al ways honore.! by the largest type, were the same as the editor is now using against Mr. Cornyn, vii "turn out and , ote against Johnston and Rag mtiney!" "Rallydemocrats, against Johnston and an increase of corporate privileges !" &c. .Well notwithstanding all this kind of humbug oppo sitib:i, intended td deceit e the People, Wm. F. JthcssroN was chosen Governbr of Pennsylvd nia. And what has been the result 1 Has the ruin predicted by the Globe been visited upon us is a consequence 1 All know that it has not. As a Pennsylvenian more than as a par tizan, do we recur with exidtatiOn to the bene fits which have already resulted froth the efforts of our patriotic Whig State Administration. Since the election of Gov. Johnston mole than ONE MILLION of old debts contracted by his locoToCci predecessors on the ,State Canals and Railroads have been paid I The canals and rail roads have been kept in repair, and in compli ance with the law, for the first time, the inter est of our public debt has been paid in GOLD and SILVER, and the credit of thi Common wealth restored. Upstart,. df TWO HUN DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS have been in vested in a Sinking Fund, for the gradual RE DUCTION of THE STATE DEBT, and inde pendent of all this, there is now in the State Treasury the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, ap plicable to the completion of the North Branch Canal. These are some of the glorious fruits of the election of that clear headed statesman and hon est man, WM. F. JOHNSTON, to which we point in triumph. 'Whey show that the people of this State made a wise choice. No adminis tration in Pennsylvania ever accomplished as much in the same space of time. And this is the Administration which the locofoco papers predicted was to bring ruin and disgrace upon the commonwealth. But their batteries ore now silenced. They dare not make a single objectio'n to the wise and salutary measures of Gov. Johnston. We therefore call upon the honest tax payers of all parties, to sustain the State Adminieraiion at the P6lli I casting their votes for its friends, and by so doing they will sustain their own intereds arid advance the general prosperity of the Commoii‘bealth. FOr we feel safe in predicting, from the evidence a - ready before us, that if Guy. Johnston continues ' to be seconded by the Legislature during his term of Office, a large REDUCTION of our enormous and onerous STATE DEBT will be the result, and as a consequence, a great reduc tion in the TAXES of the People. A railurg It is well known here that the nominal edi tor of the Globe, and a large faction of the Lo cofoco party, exerted themselves to their ut most to nominate Jowl Sccrrr, Esq., a young Lawyer of this place, as the Locofoco candi date for the Legislature. And it is equally well known that the Canal officers and their friends, beat them out and nominated a candidate to suit themselves. This defeat so enraged the oppo nents of of the canal administration, that they bolted, and brought out Job S. Morris in oppo sition to Col. Dutf. And with the ~ .ape of de ceiving Whig working men and mechanics, they at once dubbed Job the candidate of the working men; and appealed to this class of Whigs to go for Job and oppose Col. Corny n, because he is a professional man. They forgot that everybody knew that the very cause of Morris being brougit out was that John Scott, Esq., a Law yer, had failed to be nominated. They forgot that every body knew that Mr. Lewis of the Globe; and Job S. Morris, the working men's candidate, run for delekktes as the friends of Lawyer Scott. Hence it is not strange that they have utterly and signally failed in deceiv ing any of the Whig -working men into their Support: And it is even now hinted that the editor of the Globe is about deserting the cadge of Morris and turning in for Duff; since he bits disecivered that he cannot get any of the Whigi into the Movetheot. Bitt whether this is do or not, we neither know nor care. It is enough for us to know that the effort made to seduce Whigs from their integrity has been a most ma,gnificeht , failure. That Suit. The Globe of laST;e;lctiies to mate a lit• tle capital against Mr. Cornyn, about a certain suit between James Burke and the county of Huntingdon, being removed to Cambria county. Upon inquiry we learn that there is no such suit to try; the difficulty was arranged after the suit was ought, and hence the tax-payers will not lose VD cent by the operation. It was a knowledge of this fact that caused Mr. Cornyn's indiffetence *ben bat. Fehion was about getting the suit removed. Fuller and lieform.o This is the watchword of the opponents of ; extravagance and corruption on the Public Works, in all parts 01 the State. The taxpay ers are determined to elect Mr. FULLER, and all the ellbrts of the Locoforo leaders cannot pre vent it. We hope the Whigs of Old Huntingdon , will turn out in their strength and do their part in securing this glorious result. A full Whig vote is all that is wanting to give Mr. Fuller a most triumphant majority. The news from the North is of the most cheering character. Mr. Fuller will run largely ahead of the Whig vote in all the Northern counties. Turn out, then, Whigs of Old Huntingdon, and we will secure another glorious and triumphant State victory. A young man; aged 17 yearn, and a young girl, aged 13, belonging to Providence, Pa., were married lust week: County Nominations. The new Lawyer editor of the Globe, makes a feeble attempt in the last number of that pa per, to create the impression that the Whig County Ticket was n'ciminated thtough the in fluence of the poliiicians of this place. In dravi ing upon his imagination for this idea,the writer doubtless had his mind imgred4ed with the year ly practice of himself and the other leaders of the Locofoco paffY, in making up I.ocofoco County Tickets. The Whig COnvention Which assembled in this place iri Atiguat last, was cc:it'll; posed of men of high standing in their several townships and districts, and were elected to represent the people in said Convention. Even if the politicians of this town had been disposed to do so, they would not have dared to approach them for the purpose of dictation. The dele gates were intelligent men, and perfectly com petent to the duties they were selected to per form. And it is an iiisiilt to those gentlemen to say that 036 , were controlled in their action by the politicians of this town. The Conven tion assembled in the afternoon, sat with open dbors, and without interference from any quar ter, proceeded to nominate a Comity ticket. Mr. CORNYN, who heads the ticket, was nomi nated unanimously, and Messrs. DOYLE, NIGH TAX, and FIBBER, all received their nominations on the first ballot. The utmost harmony pre vailed, and the Convention adjourned, after re solving to support the Ticket, the WBOLE TICK ET, and NOTHING BUT VIE TICKET. And we can inform the Lawyer editor of the Globe, that when such men as compose the Whig County ticket, are honestly placed in nomination by the representatives of the Whig party of the coun ty, a "nomination is an election;" for such nominees thus fairly presented, will always be sustained by the Whig voters of the county And all the slang which the scribblers for the Globe can heap upon ihd Whig Ticket will but increase the majority which it is bound to re ceive in October. But how was the Locofoco County Conven tibn managed which nominated the Ticket that stands at the head of the Globe 7 We have Lo cofoco authority, which the editor of the Globe will net gainsay, for saying that but eight of the delegates composing it were elected by the people ! The balance, making up the number of forty-nine, were made by the Locofoco wire workers of this borough, prominent among whom was the Lawyer writer for the Globe ! And the delegates thus made) , loving darkness rath er than light," assembled in Convention after night, and proceeded to business. It would bh unfair to hold Locofocc; masses of the coun ty responsible for the scenes enacted during the sitting of this Convention, thus manufac tured to order by the Locofoco office-holders and office -hunters in Huntingdon. They were not Tong hi session hOwever, until it became mani fest that some of the ar . riingstnente would be spoiled Unletis the delegates were subjected to a little private drilling. Hence one of the man agers whispered to a delegate to move that the Convention adjourn to one of the Jury rooms, and have a secret session. The motion was made and carried, and the Convention withdrev# from the public gaze ! What was done during this secret session we cannot say, but we do say that the scene presented on the return of the Convention to the presence of the public, al most defies description. The fight between the ins on the Canal, and the outs, commenced in good earnest. Delegates were as unceremoni ously taken by the arm by the leaders of these factions, as if they hadno right to proceed with out consulting them. John Scott, Esq., finding that he would be out-manceuvered, withdrew his name, and the opponents of the Canal officers presented the name of Dutton Madden in his stead. After the balloting had progressed for some time, the Canal officers and their friends became alarmed, and by some hocue pocus, which we never could understand, they suc ceeded in getting the name of Mr. Madden with drawn, and in having their favorite, Col. DUFF, declared duly nominated ! The balance of the Ticket had also been arranged, and was nomi nated without exciting much interest. The above description of the way in which the last Locofoco County Convention was man aged, instead of being too highly colored, does not more than convey a feint idea of the man agement and trickery resorted to by the . Locfo co politicians of Huntingdon, in making up their Conn.) , Ticket. And yet the Lawyer editor of the Globe has the effrontery to prate of honesty, end charge trickery upon the Whig politicians of Hinaingdon. If you want to denounce trickery Mr. Globe, why have you not the manliness and independence to commence at home I It is true the Globe has not up to this time said one word in favor of Col. DUFF, but why has not the ed itor the independence to giire his readers his reasons for this course I We think he would make more Character by explaining the mode and manner in which the Locofoco County Ticket was framed,than by manufacturing gross slanders and falsehoods against his Whig neighu , 1 hors. Locofoco Tricks. As the election approaches, the LecofOcos are commencing their old tricks of circulating false stdries about the Whig tarididates. Beware of their falsehoods and libels. It is their old game, and the.only one by which they hope to suc ceed with any of their candidates. Be not de ceived by them. Eirery man on the Whig tick et is worthy of the confidence and support of the entire Whig party, and we trust will re ceive Fire. We observe by the Democratic Whig, that a serious fire occurred in Bellefonte, on the night of the 13th inst., which consumed a lumber yard and quite a number of stables, among which were those of Messrs. McAllister, Gil liland, Stewart, Vandyke, Montgomery and Hoover, Sheriff Musser, H. N. McAllister, Esq., and Miss Miles.

Af the iiAxt sessiOn the bill for the apportionment of Senators and Representa tives fot the iiixt seven years, will have to be passed. This in itself, should induce the Whigs to bring out their entire strength in support of their candidates. The Locos have never scru pled to resort to the basest means to gerryman der the State so as to retain power in their bands. As an evidence of this we need only re fer to the last apportionment bill, which allows Westmoreland three members of the Legislature, led Washington but tu:o—which gives Botha *e same representation in both blanches as Al legheny, and Montgomery one Senator, and Chester and Delaware but one. We might mention Qjher instances, but the above are suf• ficient to prove to view candid mind that the State is at present most shamefully getryman dered. lithe Whigs desire justice they should spare no effort to return a majority in both branches, by which alone it can be secured. mosperity LEAKINCS FROM THU PUBLIC Woltits..-The Harrisburg Keystone lately published a state ment of all the tolls received by the collectors during the year, up to the lot of August last.--*- The Telegraph publishes a statement obtained, we presume, at the Treasury, shciwing that there had not been as much paid in at the Trea surYby $20,000, as had been collected.

The „Telegraph replies : But we would inquire whtifhas become of the previous defalcation of the month of June? Had they not had time to get the collections of that month into the Trea sury before they reported those of hily?

We have news from Washington that dilficul4 ties have arisen between our own and the French government, in consequence of some exception dble conduct of the French Minister at Wash- , ingtdn, who it seems has not hesitated to call hi question the honor of our country. Every American will applaud President Taylor for promptly resenting the insult by tendering to the French Minister his passports. The following letter from Washington to the North American, narrates the particulars of this difficulty : , WASHINGTON, Sep. 18, 1849. As long ago as in February, M. Poussin, the French Minister, presented to Mr. Buchanan, then Secretary of State, a claim in behalf of a M. Porte, a Frenchman, residing in Mexico. Porte had purchased tobacco, sold by the agents of the American army, knowing it to be pri vate property, and not subject to the rules of war. The tobacco was restored to its proper owner by Col. Childs, the commanding officer, and the purchase money refunded to Porte. Un der these circumstances, a claim was set up by the French Minister for damages, being the dif ference between the price at which Porte had purshased and sold. A court of inquiry was held, and decided unanimously against the claim and the decision was approved by Gen. Scott. Mr. Buchanan went out of office without ex amining the case; and then it came before the present administration. The finding was real.; firmed by Mr. Clayton, and in answer to a note of ill. Poussin, the Secretary of State sustain ed the verdict of the Court and his own ap proval. M. Pousin rejoined, charging Col. Childs vir tually with perjury, and using other insulting language. He was invited to Washington, be ing then absent, and the alternative of with drawing or adopting his offensive note was of fered. Ile withdrew it, expurgated the offen sive terms, and then renewed the communica tion, which was accepted.llere, it was supposed, all difficulty would end. Subsequently, howev er, Poussin presented another note, claiming the punishment of Commander Carpenter, un der the circumstances: CoMmander Carpenter, while forming a part of the blbckading squadron on the coast of Mex ico, Was called upon by the Captain of the French ship Edgertia, to rescue her from Ship wreck. He, With, the crew, succeeded, after much labor, end afterwards requested the legal salvage. This,was refused—whercupon Com. ' Carliehier restored the vessel to her captain ; she having laid along side the Iris for thirty htiurs Mr. Clifford, the Minister at Mexico, %voted Of Carpenter's conduct. When this sUbjict bias submitted to Mr. Clayton, it was referred to Mr. Preston, who furnished Carpen ter's statement of the facts. M. Poussin in- Stead of referring the correspondence to his Government, wrote an insulting letter, in which he reflected grossly upon the character and bon & of the American marine. The President then directed the whole cor r spondenee to be laid before the French Gov ernment expecting immediate and voluntary re dress. Insteiid of atonement, the French Min ister of Foreign Affairs attempted to inculpate our Government, and to divide the responsibili ty. As soon as this information was received, the President ordered no further correspond ence to be held with M. Poussin, and his pass ports to he placed at his disposal. The future is shrouded in doubt. M. de Toe queville, the Minister of Foreign Affairs must resign ; M. Poussin must be kicked aside ; and the French Government must apologize; or a rupture mUsf wind. The administration here Will not advance in inch or retract a word ; and if France wiShig War, as there is good reason to suppose she does, the responsibility is on her shoulders; The case admits of no diplomatic • cobbling.
