Old Iluntingdii ihd Whig Banner
County
The official returns of Huntingdon county will
be found in this paper. And it is with pride
we ask our friends throughout the State to com
pare them with the Governor's vote of last
year. It will be seen that unlike the other
Whig counties, the Whigs of Old Huntingdon
have increased theif majority. Had all done
likewise, we Would hate had the pleasure of
recording another gloriods Whig victory in
Pennsylvania. This has not htivrever been the
case, and hence it becomes our painful duty to
record the defeat of HENRY M. FULLER. But
the Whigs of Huntingdon have the proud satis
faction of knowing that no part of the responsi
bility rests on them—they have manfully done
their duty, and triumphantly sustained the ad
ministrations of TAYLOR and JOHNSTON.
It will be seen, too, that notwithstanding the
efforts made to defeat one of our candidates on
the County ticket, the WHOLE Wulf; TICKET
has been elected. This is another very grati
fying result. It shows that while a few whigs
may be seduced from duty, the great body of
the Whigs of Huntingdon adhere to their integ
rity.
The day after the election, the Locolocos of
this place were just abdut fixing their mouths
to crow over the defeat of JOIIN A: DOYLK, the
Whig candidate for County Treasurer, When
the returns from the glorious Whig tdwnshipe
of Ton and CASs were received, giving rnajdri
ties for the whole Whig ticket about equal to
Gen. Taylor's last fall No lidpe Was now left
for Locofocoisrn in Huntingdon county, and our
friends of that party at once turned their atten
tion to the returns from other parts of the State.
The whole ticket was also nobly sustained in
the townships of Brady, Springfield, Shirley,
Porter, West, Jark3on and lifterray'.,
Run, and the gallant Whigs of those townships
deserve special praise for their conduct. They
have shown that they are reliable Whigs, and
can be safely depended on.
As a whole, the Whigs of Old Huntingdon
have done nobly. No other Whig county in the
State has done as well, compared with John
ston's vote of last year, and hence we claim
Hl:atm:nom as the BANNNIL WHIG COUNTY of
Pennsylvania. If Locofocoism has carried
Pennsylvania; the Locofocos of this county can
claim no part of the credit.
We will hereafter sliest( of the principal
cause of our success ill Huntingdon, ttnd the
course to be pursued by the Whigs to maintain
their ascendancy.
Blair Comity&
Our friends in Blair county have thine exceed
ly well at the recent election! fndeed, they
have given Fuller almost as large a majority as
old Huntingdon! True, when the diVision took
place, Huntingdon was set down as a doubtful
county and Blair as all over Whig ; but what
of that I Huntingdon is the old mother county.
and it is to be expected that she will be the
most steady. And it must be cOnsidered that
the Whigs of Blair had a fight among therneelves
this year, and was it not for the fact that both
regulars and volunteers are Whigs frdm princi
ple, one might have supposed that Fuller would
have been traded of a little for locofoco votes.
The result however gives a most emphatic neg
ative to any idea of that kind. Fuller has a
majority of almost four hundred votes, and
Johnston bad only a little over eight huindred
last year ! By organizing however, and getting
a good turn out, it is possible Blair May nearly
come up to old Huntingdon at another trial. W 6
hope she will mike th, effort.
t What does our neighbor of the Globe
think of the " instructions" voted to Mr. Cor
nye, by the people of this county?
The Result In the State.
The returns come in so slowly that we are
enable to give the correct details of the recent
election in Pennsylvania. Enough has been re
ceived, however, to warrant us in saying that
John A. Gamble is elected Canal toMmissionei.
The Lotos also have a majority in the House,
lad the Seriate'will stand 17 Locos to 16 Whigs.
The falling 6t of the Whig vole in Allegheny,
Lancaster and Philadelphip, has produced this
result. And the loss of Philadelphia county has
given the Locofotos their ascendancy in the
Legislature. The Natives in Philadelphia
combined with the Locofocos. Out of Phila
delphia the Whigs have more than stlstdined
themselves in the election of mentefs. Next
week we will be able to sum up the Legislature
and the vote on Canal Cdrnmissioner

The Result in Blair County.
The result in Blair county furnisaes a - useful
lesson to ambitious politicians. We hope they
will profit by it. The regular Whig candidates
for Assembly, Sheriff & Prothonotary have been
defeated by volunteer Whigs. The defeat of
Mr. Higgins, for the Assembly, we regret. He
was a good member and should have been re
turned. The candidates for Sheriffand Prothon
otaiy btlwever, eartied a defeat by the way in
which they secured their nominations, and fur
them, personally, we have Co sympathy. The
candidate for Prothonotary is the present Sher
iff and secured his own nomination and that of
the Sheriff by the most disreputable trickery.
it is unnecessary for us to prove this assertion
by detailing the circumstances, for we under
stand the candidate for Prothonotary himself
admits the truth of it. The Peorile—the whigs
of the county lose in their might and rebuked
the intriguers by gibing theni a most hUmilia
ting defeat. When nominatibns are honorably
made the Whig party will always sustain them.
When this is not the case they will not: They
are right in this. There is a political morality ;
in it which is wholesome, and which will teach
politicians to be honest. Let all profit by the
result in fliait.
Win• F. Johnston .
The Locofocos are in oratory because of their
success in the Legislature. They say now they
can head Gov. Johnston," and prevent hint
from getting through the Legislature any more
of his popular measures. Well, let them try
it. We are willing to see Gov. Johnston's ree
commendations and their acts go before the Peo
ple. Locofocoism fears Johnston, and well it
may. No man in Pennsylvania enjoys the same
popularity with the People. Had Gov. John
ston been a candidate at the recent election, we
have no hesitation in asserting that his majority
in Huntingdon county would not have been lees
than 700. And if he pursues the same course
which has thus far marked his administration,
we entertain no fears of his not being trium
phantly sustained by the People:
01110.
The news from Ohio would seem to indicate
that ihe Whigs have carried both branches of
the Legislature.
Accinsar.-.We regret to learn that Mr;
JAMES HIGHT, a very irtastriOus and worthy
citizen of this viciniik, had an arm broken and
was otherwise injured trya fall from his Wilg
gun on yesterday morning. Mr. H. was ahout
to cross the river with a load of stone, and the
breast chains of his horses broke, which caused
them to kick and run, when he was thrown out,
and we believe one wheel of the wagon passed
over his arm.
GEN. TAYLOR AND TILE FLORIDA INDIANS.-
It is said that the Florida war, though nipped
in the bud, has cost, in the transportation of
troops, stores, and purchase of horses for moun
ting troops, &c., three hundred thousand dol
lars. But for the firmness and prudence of the
Government, volunteers would have been called
out, the war• rendered serious, and the expen
ses made to cost as the former Seminole war
did—twenty millions of dollars.
Arrested for Larceny.
We understand that a young man; named G.
A. Gotwald, a native of Centre County, was
arrested last week lh Philadelphia, charged With
committing a number of robberies at different
hotels in that city, at Cape May and other pla
ces. The property stolen comprises money,
geld watches, and numerous articles of valua
ble jewelry. Tho greater potticiti of the watch
es and jewelry has been recovered. This in
dividual, who has thtts been detected in a dint
nal career of so lamentable an &sired, we are
informed, has a widowed mother in Centre cntm
ty, to whom the newsof his disgrade will doubt. ,
less be a terrible blow, and is otherwise Most
respectably connected. He has been residing
in Philadelphia for some time. A few weeks
ago he was discharged from a large business es
tablishment in which he had been employed;
and it was subsequently ascertained that he had
purloined from this store certain valuables : such
I as shawls; &c,
The Next Speaker.
Hon. Mr. Wentworth orChica g o, Member of
Congress and editor of the Chicago Democrat,
after making a careful calculation respecting the
political character of the next House of Rep
resentatives of the United States, says;
Since the Vermont and Rhode Island elec
tions, the sympathies are strong in favor of Mr.
Winthrop's ultimate election. He may not be
elected at the first trial, nor at the first ten tri
al., but the chances are all in hi. fatiOr. He
Was not elected at the first trial befBre, yet he
lapt all the while gaining."
Mr. Wentworth with a degree of candor and
magnanimity which does him bonor, pays the
character of the StiSalret of the last Congress
the following handsome compliment:
We look upon Mr. Winthrop as the very
first man of his age in the country, either in na
tural endowments or in acquirements. His in
tegrity as a man, and his impartiality as a Spea
ker, we believe there is no cause to question.
lie is believed to have been the next choice of
Gen. Taylor after Mr. Clayton for Secretary of
State, and the next after Mr. Lawrence as Min
ister to England. tie would have adorned eith
er of these stations. Such is the man the Dem
ocrats have got to beat—a true patriot in every
sense of the word, and who is beloved by all
who claims the name of a Whig from Maine to
Texas, and one who is both respected and feared
by Democrats as being the ablest, most accom
plished, and fairest of their political opponents."
Our Relations with France.
A Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Commercial says
"It is not venturing too mach to assert that
opinion is almost unanimous at the capital, and
throughout the coO,ntry,that after the repetition
by M. POhssiii of the offence which he had been
allowed to retract, there was no alternative left
the Presideht to the summary revocation of his
privileges as an accepted minister of the French
government. _
"In respect to the consequences of the tem
poral* sustiensiOn of intercourse with France
that will undoubtedly result from this misun
derstanding, it appears to me something worse
than absurd to be speculating upon the contin
gency of a war. At the present time France
has not a sous to waste upon any undertaking
whatever; and how preposterous it is to sup
pose that she can procure her hundreds of mil
lions to carry on a war with the United States.
I find it difficult to reconcile with sound intelli
gence, those parades of the comparative
ry and naval resources of the two countries, and
the tone of boastful defiance or absolute tried
ace, which we find in some of our journals:
In the event of the refussal of France to
receive Mr. Rives, and of its neglecting to ap
point a successor to M. Poussin, the business
appertaining to the respective missions will pro
bably be discharged by M. Valois at Washing
ton, who has just arrived, and by the secretary
of legatiou at Paris, as Mr. Rush will of course
consider himself suspended by the arrival of Mr.
Rives. This arrangement will subserve all
practical purposes until the regular and ordina
ry means of intercourse shall have been restor
ed."
The same paper says editorially i—awe have
not hesitated to express our belief that an un
friendly feeling existed towards the United
States, on the part of the French President ;
that belief arising, not so much from things done
by the French President,as from views of what
his presumed policy would lead him to. These
views included a strong impression that a close
alliance between France and Russia- , --or rather
between the French and Russian rulers—is far
from improbable. Our readers may think it
strange in us to say so, but at present we incline
to the opinion that a more friendly bearing to
wards the United States on the part of France
is likely soon to be manifested; and that, too,
as a consequence of the same good understand.
ing which is believed to exist between Nicholas
and Louis kspoleon. We apprehend that a
concurrence of circumstances is approaching,
which will govern the policy of the Russian
Emperor in the direction of conciliating the
good will of this republic."
fl 7" Honorgons P. Gsiszs of Ky. we rejoice
to state, has been appointed Governor of Ore
gon by Gen. Taylor, and has accepted. He is
one of Nature's noblemen and was chosen to Con
gress in '47 by 110 majority in a district usually
against us. This year he has been run out sim
ply because he reported a bill last winter to
abollSh the Slave Trade in the District tif Cdl
- and would not, like his locofoco oppo
nent, go the whole hog for Slavery Extension;
at all hazards and to the last extremity: SlaVe
ry is just now in the condition, of a somebody
foretold in scripture as"haring great wrath,
because he knoweth he hash hut a short time."
(Rev. xii, 12.) We regret that the Whig par
ty has to bear the ccinsequences of that flurry,
through the defeat of such men as Major Gaines,
but these reverses will work out good in the
end. Meantime we thank Gen. Taylor and his
Cabinet for their admirable selection of a Gov
ernor of Oregon.
QUA startling accident, though fortunately
unattended with serious results, occurred ut the
lledenberg works, in New Ark.; (N. J.) on the
29th ult. A large grindstone in the basement
of the cotton factory, for grinding hoes, axes
and other hardware, While revolving rapidly,
burst by the great centrifugal force, and a large
piece, weighing one Or two hundred weight,
flew with frightful violence through the floors
of two stories above, and strtick the floor of the
third, where its force was spent. The ticcti
pants of the room through which it passed,
mostly girls, were greatly alarmed but not In
jured.
DEAD LETTERS.-It is said that not less than
600,000 letters are sent to the 'Dead Letter De
partment' at Washington every three months,
that the average amount of money enclosed in
theie letters is $2OOO, and out of every $6O of
this money, owners are found for every $54
thereof. The balance remains in possession of
the Department, until an owner shall be found
out, for which purpose every effort is made.
HEROISM AND DEATH.-The little fortress
Dova, it: Transylvania, has been blown tip by
the instirgentsi 300 strong, rather than tauten
des. It took plate in sight Cif the Russians, as
they were attprbaching to storm it. The be
tiegefs; ott coming up, found only the tilitehetied
cdrpses that had been hurled down the rockg,
which Were ruin" four to five hundred feet high.
Not a man survived to tell the tale and explain
the catastrophe, which, perhaps, was unintelli
gibleto the born slaves of Russia.
Slavery in California.
H. R. Robison, of Ohio, writing home to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says :
"Tell your newspaper brethren to save them
' selves the brains they are fretting in the discus
sions upon "Slavery in Californza," they are
only acting " Much Ado about Nothing," with
' improvements which even Shakespeare would
have laughed at. Of all the absurdities of the
day, none can excel that of estabi Elblag slavery
in this territory, unless some hair brain would
start the idea as a rival, that slavery could ex
ist after being established here. Why such a
thing is never thought of here, by any One of
whatever birth education or prejudices, save
to be laughed at. In the first place, the people
here will dispose of the institution in their Con
vention an.l Constitution; in the next; Nature
has revolted at such an idea, long in advance—
has put her veto upon the whole surface of the
country against any such uses of her soil. Sla
very would starve to death here, unless amply
fed from the store houses of the States at home.
SINGULAR Rzcovisay.—A young eon of Mr.
John Buit, of Albany, N. Y., was lost three
years ago, being then but four years old.—Not
withstanding the most diligent search was made
for him, the only clue Obtained to his wherea
bouts was, that he was enticed off by a woman,
while looking through the canvass of a circus
tent. Lately, Mr. Bait's attention was attract
ed to a paragraph in a newspaper, stating that a
little boy, 6 or 7 years of age, had been picked
up in Syracuse while endeavoring to find shelter
from the rain in a dry goods box. He was rec
ognized by flesh marks, and restored to his pa
rents; During his whole absence, he had been
kept by the woman by whom he had been enti:
ced away, and who is the wife of a respectable
property owner in Oswego, The latter pro
fesses to kr.ow nothing of the *ay in which the
little boy was obtained: The woman had taught
him that he was an orphan, and had come from
England. During the State Fair at Syracuse
he stole away &Ord his abductor to see the sights
at the fair, where he had managed to live by
earning pennies for holding horses, &c., antil he
was picked up as abOve narrated.—North Amer

AME4I6AN BIBLE SOCIETY.-At the monthly
Meeting of the Managers last week—Mr. FRE
LINGHUYSEN presiding—the Treasurer reported
the receipts bf the month to be $24,095. Is
sues of Bibles and Testaments 68,785. Va
rious grants of Bibles and Testaments were
made to different parts of our own country and
to foreign lands for distribution among the
Slaves of the South, on application of gentle.
men residing there, showing that the society is
directly promoting the circulation of the Bible
in this direction. Grants have also been made
to ships going to California and elsewhere. One
of the Secretaries, Rev. SAML. PRIME, recently
attended the meeting of the Washington county
(New York) Bible Society, which claims to
have originated the resolution adopted twenty
years ago, to supply the United States with the
Bible two years ago. But two clergyman were
present who had co-operated in the work twen
ty years ago; one of these was the Rev. Dr.
BULLION, President of the Society, and the Rev.
Dr. PRIME, delegate from the American Bible
Society. This society is older by three years
than the National Institution.
TARRED AND FEATHERED.-A man was found
in rather too intimate terms with a Married la
dy at Camden, N J., on Sunday night, when
the husband and friends seized him, and having
plentifully coated with tar, then well feathered
him and turned hirri loose.
FOR CatiroaNis.—=lirrtigration to California
seems to haVe become rifeagain. Four packet
ships have sailed from New York for San Fran
cisco within a week, and some five or six from
Boston, Philadelphia and other ports. During
the month of September 42 vessels cleared for
the gold region, viz.: 9 from New nirk, 2 from
Philadelphia, and the remainder from Boston
and other New England Ports, and the number
of passengers is estimated at 2000.
A NOVEL PROCEEDING.—The New London
(Conn.) Chronicle reports at some length the
decision in two divorce cases, recently tried at
that ancient town, the parties being John C.
Holland and Mrs. Francis E. Holland, his wife.
Each sought a divorce; Mrs. Holland accusing
her husband of conjugal infidelity, of habitual
intoxication and of cruelty; Mr. Holland re
torting by an acensafion of infidelity.—The di
vorce asked for by the lady was granted; the in=
fidelity of Mr. H. being clearly proved, though
the charge Of habitual intoxication Was not
thcitight sufficiently established. 'the divorce
milted for by Mr. Holland was denied, the ac
risation against Met. Holland being, the Chron
icle says, completely disproved. The novelty
of the case is thus descibed by the Chronicle
" The lady herself next went to the stand
and testified, as our statute now permits parties
to do. (here can be no question that the im
pression she made was such as is seldom seen
before such a tribunal. It produced a most ir
resistable and overwhelming conviction of her
entire innocence of the foul chargesagainst her."
DELgADFtIL OCCURRENCE.-A correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun states that the Rev. James
Nichols, of Caroline county, Md., who has been
fora long time 'attiring under an aberration of
the mind, on Thursday last, shot dead Miss Ju
lia Nichols. She and several of the family
were up stairs at the usual time Of Mr. N. hold
ing family prayer, when he summoned them to
his room. Upon the unfortunate lady opening
the door, Nichols levelled a gun at her and shot
her dead. He then, in his murderdus insanity,
dragged her out of the house some distance to a
hag pen, and attempted to throw her into it.—
Failing to do this, be fled, and has not since been
heard of.
II:7 - The Missouri Reptiblkah Of the 18th says,
that the Legislature which Is about to assemble
in Illinois will again instruct Judge Douglass
on the slaVery question in such a way as to com
pel him to define his position. The Judge in

Riot and Fire in Philadelphia. I Bloody Doings in Arkansas.
On Tuesday night of last week the The Arkansas Banner has the follow

The California House, at the corner to arrest them has doubtless led to the
of St, Mary and Sixth streets, had long , state of civil war existing at the last ac
been an object of hostility to the whites., counts :
One cause of this was a report that the
proprietor of it, a mulatto man, had
living with him a white woman as his
wife. Soon after the rowdies with their
biasing wagon reached the corner, an at
tack was made upon the house. The
windoitrs were pelted in with stones, and
after a desperate struggle the blacks
inside were forced to retreat from the
house by the back way. The active
oters were at this time comparatively
few, and half an hour at least elapsed
before they gained an entrance into the
bar-room. The blacks during this time
were not idle, and made several sallies
down St. Mary and Seventh streets with
bricks for the purpose of driving off the
whites. Pistols and guns were occa
sionally discharged on both sides. It
was about 9 o'clock when the rioters ef
fected an entrance into the house, and
then the fixtures of the briroom were
broken up and a bonfire made inside the
house. The building was soort in flames ,
and at 12 o'clock at night had extended
up St. Mary street, burning two brick
dwellings and a carpenter shop back.—
The heat bad also set fire to the frame
tavern on the lower corner kept by Mr.
Mclivain, and thence fire cornmtinicated
to the Mongomery House adjoining, and
a stable on St. Mary street belonging,
to Mr. Bell
PHILAVELI , IIIAi Oct. 10.
The riots Were renewed down town
(Southwark) this morning, and other
buildings Were fired. Fire arms and
other missiles were freely used, and
several persons very badly hurt.
At half-past ten o'clock six or eight
military . companies headed by the Sher
iff and Mayor, marched to the scene of
action, took possession of the district,
planted cannon in the streets to prevent
the encroachment of the crowd.
A number of fire companies are now
in service round the ruins. Several
other buildings have been burnt.
ire THE TRIAL OF TUE ASTOR TLACE RIOT
ERS, who instigated the disturbances in New
York, commonly known as the Macready and
Forrest riot, resulted in the conviction of the
whole batch. Three of them were sent to the
City prison for thirty days; one for one month,
and another for three months to the Penitentia
ry ; and the ringleader, Judson, was condemned
to the Penitentiarp for Ode year, with the addi
tional punishment of a fine of two hundred and
fifty dollars, Judson addressed the Court at
some length, in the tone of a martyr, and accu
sed both the Judge and Jury of having been pre
judiced.
For the Journal,
A Oink
Me. CLARK :—AIIow me to join issues with
Mr. J. A. Hall who entered a cult in the Jour
nal of last week, on a claim for the Rules and
Regulations for the Huntingdon Public Schools.'
It is true thesP Rules and Regulations were not
handed from Moses, but in essence they are co
eval with our "School System," and as he ac
knowledges "additions" and "amendments" we
think we are safe in testing the validity of his
claim.
If the learned Professor is aspiring to rivalry
with the Public Schools, we propose meeting,
him in the pages of history or in the Demon

'MARION COUNTY, Sept 4, 1846.
"1 will now give you an account of
one of the most hellish outrages ever
perpetrated in that unfortunate county,
Marion. On Friday last, three of the
Kings were murdered in cold blood. You
recollect hearing of a battle that was
fought at Yellville sometime since, be
tween the Kings and Everetts. Some
days since Moony, (the sher:ffof Marion
county,) and some of the Everetts fol
' lowed one of the Kings, who had moved
from Marion, to Conway county and
settled. When Mooney and company
arrived at King's th.y found him in the
act of moving back to Marion county.
They took him prisoner. King told
them they might tie him, or do as they
choose, as he would go with them peace
ably ; but that he did not think their in
tention was to take him to Yellville, but
he believed they intended to murder him
on the way. Mooney and Everett told
hlin all they wanted was to take him
back to Yellville ; and give him a trial by
the laws of Arkansas.
"They starteil with him. His father,
brothers, and I think two cousins, said
they would go eth him as long as he
tees uheaSy; The Kings all went un
armed, Moony Sr Co., numbering about
twenty. They were armed each with
a rifle gun, pair of pistols, and a bowie
knife. King's family moved on, either
ahead or behind the company. On the
way two of the King's little children
were token very sick. The night before
the hellish deed was perpetrated, King
learned that one of his children was
dying; he plead for God's sake to let
him go and stay with his poor little dy
ing child that night, and told them to
chain him or tie him any way and go
with him. But all his prayers were in
vain. King told his grey-headed father
a pious good old man, that he, hie broils
ers and cousins, had better get away and
take care of themselves, as he was con
scious that their fate was sealed. The
old man and boys told him that they
would stay with him and all die together
if the company intended to murder
them.
At length the assassins commenced
dropping off; one at a time, until all but
ten or twelve had left. They then wan
ted the Kings to get down oil their hor
ses and rest, but they refused. Some
one of the party gave a sign for all hands
to re-prime their rifles and shoot, which
was obeyed in quick time. Two of the
Kings (the coustns)made their escape.—
They ran down their horses and hid
themselves until dnrk, and then went to
the settlement and raised a company to
bring in the bodies of the three that
were murdered. King's child died.
"North or Yellville, two men (Coke
and Churchman) were playing cards on
Saturday evening Sept 15th., They fell
out about two dimes, when Coke drew
his knife and stabbed Churchman in the
breast, killing him instantly."
Two or three other attempts at Mur
der are also mentioned.
0:7-Mr. Kendall writes under date of
Paris, August 30th, to the Picayune:--
"How to get rid of the Republic is the
question now asked on every side—you
hear it everywhere, Porters, chamber
maids, waiters about the hotels, cab dri
vers--all who have any industry and
are anxious to thrive by work, openly
avow themseltei, sick and tired of the
present institutions, and at the same
time nanifest their readiness to throw
up their caps at the first member of a,
monarchical family who may come
along."
