The election for boroligh and fdwuship , offr •er.v, and officers of the general election, takes place throughout this county, on Friday !text (13th inst.) We hope our Whig friends will not neglect their duty on the occasion. The Locofncos never fail to attend to these small elections. Let the friends of Tari.oa and louts stay see that the proper kind of Judges, Inspec tors and Assessors are elected. The British Tiriff. Bin H;NRY stLwoa, British Minister it Washington, sent a letter the other day to Mr. Clayton, pro wet' ng agairisf tiny change of the Tariff of 1816, as any arldit;Mad attics wisahl weigh heavily upon BRITISH irroditctions !" Yet this is the Tariff that is sa highly applaud ed by American Locofoccis ! Which is the British party in this country 1 Doubtless Sir Henry Bulwer would decide in favor of the Lo colt:mos, as they go for British interests while the Whip want Americhn interests protected. The President caused the letter to be sent in to the Senate, and Mr. Cooper, Whig Senator from this State, promptly and properly denoun ced the British Minister for his attempt at in terfering in the domestic poiicf &f this country. CONGRESS% The Slavery discussion still ienfinues in both Houses without abatement. Mr. Calhoun has spoken, and as usual goes for nothing but Sta. Very and the South. From reading his speech we would infer that he , considers nothing will pave the country but dis3o/ution. Foote, of Miss., took exception to Mr. Calhoun's speech, and declared that he would not acknowledge him 1 1 as hie leader. This looks encouraging. In the House, on the Bth inst., STANLEY, of North Carolina, the gallant Whig whose rote !laved the Taritbill of 1912, made a speech for the Union, and denounced the Southern mem bers who have •been tlireatnitig dissolution. Among other patriotic expresskona in reply to an interro,otary, Mr. Stanley said : H Wilmot Proviso or no WilMot Proviso, the geo . plee North' Carolina war stand by the On the 7th, DANIEL Warty= arldressall the Senate. His speech Is considered the most powerful of the Session. We hate duly room to briefly allude to it. After going into an his tot ical consideration of the institution of Slave ry, Mr. Webster alluded to its introduction in,. to this country, and of the opposition to it by the Colonists. In the early days of th Rephb lic it was regarded as a serious political Ohl by both the North and South ; and the ordinance of 1761, prohibiting Slavery in the Northwest Territory (a southern measure,) showed that this Anti-Slavery feeling was not confined to any particular sect:on of the country. Since that time, slavery was regarded with more fa ear by the South; and this change of sentiment Mr. Webster attributed to the vast increase in cotton raising in that section of the Union. In regard to the Wilmot Proviso, he viewed it as a senseless abstraction when applied to Terri tories where the law of nature had erected im passable barriers to the introduction of Slavery, aad should vote against it regardless of legisla- Cos la:rations. He bilisved It to be the duty of the North to gin, proper aid in the cap tore and delivery of fugitive slaves, and would support Mr. Mason's bil', which had that object in view. He elosed his speech by dwelling on the value and blessings of the Union. A favorable adjustment of the whole Slavery question, is now confidently anticipated. Justice of the Peat& It is it common opinion that Ore office of u "Justice of the Peace" is unimpor tant, because its administration it fatten. Jed with no pomp and display, and it must be admitted, too frequently with out regard to the dignity of the office et officer. It is true there is no lower ju dicial office within the gift of the people, and none which affects smaller legal rights, but for this very reason it is one in which all are most deeply interest ed. Nine-tenths of the disputes which the courts are called upon to decide are about trifling matters, and nirre-tenths of the disputants are poor. They seek redress from the Magistrate, who is in vested with all the power of both Judge nod Jury so far as his jurisdiction ex ends. He is judge of both law and fact, and it is therefore necessary that he should be not only well acquainted with the letter and spirit of the Law, but that he rhonld possess the integrity to adinin _stet it huno.tly. Letter from Harrisburg. Correspondence of the Ifuntingdon journal, h . /autism:ma, Afifteh 1, 1950 DE. COL-You have. I doubt not, frequent ly heard it asserted with great confidence, that " this it a great .ebteatTyl 3 . 4 IL is a fact, and of course we grow great men—some great Dem , octets, end' large nurnber who arc reellygreat Locolbros men. who are always talking about the rights f the dear people:Hthe rich oppress ing note., &c., &c. But your experience has doubtless long since taught you that these pro fessions are only intended Mr election times, and are always falsified by the official conduct !of these demagogues. We have had a recent anal novel exhibitioe b 1 this in the Lower House. Mt. Leijd, ao riren tee/ Loco Foco, reported a general bunking law, and last Friday jt was called up. The ad sec tion provides that <, so pe,vou who Ittes.ever. Ca kerr the 66,41 of . any bankri , pt law or lobo Iran' ever piled in.

Here yeti have an exhibition of locofoco love for the podr men, with a vengeance ! A few democrats had sense enough to see the effect, and voted with the Whigs to strike out the vile eristocratic proviso _by which poor men were sought to be disgraced for the crime of not be ing as fortunate as their wealthy neighbors. The State Treasury committee, are still at work. The mountain antlers more than Ord ins. ry pangs in her labor., and fears are now enter tained that the product will be less eien than a mouse. From what I call train, the origina tors are becoming heartily f:ted of it. They have examined Other Oitnesses, and have clear - le proved that Mr. Ball neverrefuse,' to pay a ((raft without ..i.good reason. It is admitted now I belieie by all hands, that Norris did sell to the Pa: Road, a better engine for a less price, and yesterday in a letter to the Senate gave as a reason, that they were to get one of their manufacture, as a kind of "slcoteead." 01' 'course your readers will understand, for it “is as Clear as mud" why they Were not affected by the same reason 'in their sale to the State--the State Road terminating at that eb.teere little vil lage in the eastern part of the State called Phil adelphia, while their " shore card," would be displayed at that great cdmmercial and mercan tile Mart, MeVeytditn, Eihd be examined by the crows, as they, and it flew up the valley of the Juniata, What a shallow excuse. The next best thing that has taken place in this connex ion, is the story 'that Col. English the Superin tendent on the Coluinbia Road, and who is clear ly playing into Norris' hand, and who con tracted with them for the engines at this enor mous price, has been showing Hu written ion tract, to prove that the price . paid was accord ing to the contract—ergo, was not too mach I This is truly laughable; and therein he has shown thet, he made the contract at an enor moils price, and in raritieg, so that if -possible the State must nay whatever amount he saw fit to write. If the contract bail been made, by parol, without any price specified, Norris could never have recovered more than a fair price, and that would be tested by what he sold to others for: Thus you see Col. English's ',roof proves the very reverse of what he intended it should. Many of the Supervisors are here now as witnesses, enjoying themselves at the ex pense of the State, tt Who's aleard of the ex pense"—the State pays the piper.

I gm riot exactly akc fait, but having promised to' keep you tip with affairs here this winter, I must write in my own homely old fashioned, straight forward style. You know this Varrisburg well. It is Oa place during the Legislative sessions. Here you see every body, and heat every thing. Thus far this year there has been rid special, interest ; ing and exciting topic, if I except the fight of ale factions of Loco Foroism, that is a fight "as is a fi,, ,, ht."

Jesse to reach Simon says he had a brother James who ca:Mmitted themost unheard of frauds when on the Ra;.l ,Boad,-signifies that SITTiOiI veai a partner 'in the plunder, and wants lallto beware of the whole tribe. Simon who is up to trap, beats Jesse at his own game, and One of the journals says Jesse must be either a knave or a fool, and it fluky be that he is both, Nor is the fight confined solely to the ques tion 6f who shall be Canal Commissioner. It widens itself Into the Onbernatiffrial• and Pres'. tint candidates. Miller in hie Keystone, is ma- ! kin; a bed for Juilge Longstreth to sleep quiet-1 ly tucking him op"—while he hills him to sleep With the gentle song that he shall be the next candidate Air Governor. While others say that Lo'ngetreth has been dead mbre than a year, and if Miller had not kept him " in ice", he would have long aiis'ce stunk in the nbtrtrils of every party !dying democrat. _Meter has been here trying to pave his way. He IT too anxious—or [lithe, he aliotai, too much ue.riety. Ile pretends to run a line hf his owndispi sing factions, and cliques, anti relying upon the people ; this must lay him on the shelf, Per the Whole crowd of candidates will go in for head ing him. Judge Black is the most prominent now. If not ruined by the folly of such friends as the Chapman of the Bedford Gazette, he is in a fair way. Wm. P. Packer is on the look oirt ; every art of his evinces his putpores. Shrewd, he tries to he sure of the popular side of a question, end then be is betel end active . . He understands the chip traps of polities better than any of Chem and I doubt not will bern the way 'eine , now mere candidates. They need not quarrel ! the people will tell them that they du not require any of their ser vices, if 1 tristake not. The Tesasur, inJestigating cominittes. have felted from their labors during the pact week. Its father, BeaUrriont, is sill, quite sir t, unable to be in his seat ; and as I have said before sick a the spec/do/ion, and world I think gladly be rid of it. All parties seem to unite in saying it Is an outrage, on a faithful public servant. The Bank Bill has at last been passed throttgh the lower house , . after , having undergone many imaradments. The Bill is. too long to pretend to give yob an abstract of its several sections; and as it is yet to pass throUgh the hand§ of the Senate, there is a great probability that • it will be much changed.' I shall therefore only giie you one section and you and your Tehittts can judge from that us to the prOhable amount of wis dom Ehe whole thing contains. Several of its sections enumerates many tilts which shall be deemed misdemeanors and provides punishment accordingly. The 10th section declares that the insolvency of .y bank shall be deemed fraudulent, and makes it ihcbmbent 'upon the detectors to « repel by prbilf the pretumption of frastii,"• thin Changing a well established and humane principle of law—that fraud shall never be prevtinted, but that the party alledging it shall first prone it; Under this law, every Rank difector; during the anspension of the. Banks iu 1E47, and ds would have boon hold a fraudulent man, and would have been compelled to prove what was the cause of suspension ' or be sent to a felons cell. If this law had b een in force then, the prisons would have needed enlarginvzthe proof of pu d ic would never have saved one of the of ficers from conviction. I have not read the bill, but I am told that it provides that the rerftbratiott itself be sent to the l'enitentiary, upon a certain state of facts. If this is s . b, see shall see some fun when the law is enforced. To see the Sheriff of a county hiking a corporation to jail would be funny; for Of course it means the buildings and the char ier.and She officers and Stockholders, coMeetivety. The Senate on. Monday, passed a law in fact permittir.g the Seventh day Baptists, to labor on the Sabbath day I In other words they have taken one step in the path of infidel France ; when Robespierre and his kindred fiends, tram pled truth and virtue under foot, and dyed with hunian gore the streets of Paris. At the re quest of a few citizens, and for their, especial purpose the Sabbath is abolished—for them. The House has been engaged during the week (at times) discussing the Apportionment Bill, and the indications are that the bill as reported by a majority of the committee (Loco) will with some sheht amendments pass that body, but I trust will never be sanctioned by the Sen ate. Every Whig should, by a consistent op position, acting in concert, oppose this n bill of abominations.". Selfish political hopes— personal ends to be attained—a desire to be wise and charitable beyond the age—and un fledged folly; are occasionally displayed by some of the oyeratorA upon' this bill. The end cannot now be foretold. The weather for a week was balmy as May,' but on last Sunday, the snow fell rapidly for several hours and clad our hits and fields in gar ments of white, and Monday, though , pleasant was too cold to melt it, and Winter - seemed to hare paid us a visit. Our :own is reasonably full.of strangeri, new county borers, &c., &c. On Monday tive.aflicers of the U. S. Army passed through here, stopping at your friend's, that prince of hotel keepers, Col.

By the by, you know that Capital Hill is one of the most winds places on the earth--espe cially during the session of the Legislature, much of it however is very harmless, if you except the the time lost in listnir.g to its roar or in steep produced by its soft, and drowsy induerice.

The objectionable features of the bill are the follow;: among gross absurdities of a less prominent character. The forbidding all banks, heteafter chartered, to iesne notes of a denomination lase . than $lO, while all the surrounding states issue notes of $5 00 and less. New York, New Jersey, Ohio end Maryland, all issue small notes; and as currency is like water, wherever a vacum is produced, the circulation from the surrounding States will rush in to fill the place, 'while the law strives, by penalties and jails to shut it out. The imposing upon banks for paying out the notes of other States, of a denomination not less than len dollars, and upon individuals, commit ting the sow 0/duce, a fine; not less than fifty deflate, and imprisonment, not more than three months. The authorizing theissoe of notes to three time the amount of the capital, without any adequate security for their redemption, ex cept the fear of the jail and other penalties of the propositions, made by Whigs were voted down, among which was a proposi tions providing for the depositing with the And-. i'or General of State or United States stock to the amount of the capital of the Bank, as se curity for the redemption of the notes. This' is the plan by which New York Bunk nolea are made safe, but Yennsylvania locofecolsur uppo , ses it ! Vie Union Safe.

Flank Roads--their Unity and Profit. BY MINGO, Thiel is, emphatically, an age of wonders. The lightning which etrahles us to, communicate in telligence from one. extremity.kil.the Union to the other, with the velocity of thought, wits but two or three Years Since only seen flashing in the storm doted, yet the genius of a }Morse hes subdued it and mane it subservient td bib will, waist now a little nu may ditect its course! The invention of to-day encntes our astonish ment; and the language of admiration has scarcely escaped oft lips, ere some other im; movement is heralded forth, and we are filled with amazement at its wondeifttl creation; yet on the nihrrOvv, as it were, we are startled and our previous conceptions are eclipsed, by-the announcement of some wonderful invention which places the author—finite nian--almo'si on the same pedestal with his Creator Among the lesser and more simple contrivan ces to facilitate travelling, and the carrying of our products, the Plank Road certainly occu pies a prominent position. Although not of re cent origin, yet it has only been within the last few years that their practicability has been fairly tested in the United States. ,'Fhe results have proved satisfactory in an eminent degree. So nitich so fhat it is nod rendered certain that un def many circumstances they are superior to the railroad, and that they can compete success fully with it in the carrying of freight; besides presenting this advantage, under all circumstan ces, over both railroads and canals, to the Fer nier—they are Public Highways—on which he can transport his own. produce by his own team. And as a bill has just passed our Leg islature, incorporating a Company to construct such a road from this place to McAleavy's Fort, any information or. the subject possess a pecus liar importance at this time to those who take an interest in the project. 1 have therefore dc. voted some leisure to the collection of filets in relat:on to their mode of construction, probable cost, &c., all of which I respectfully submit, believing that it will not prove unecceptable to your numerous readers. For this information, I am mainly indebted to a work recently issued in New York, entitled a Gillespie on Roads"— extracts from which have been published in, the various papers of the day. That the construction of this contemplated road would add greatly to the prosperity and business of Huntingdon, none can doubt. Vi'hilst it is not just so clear to my mind that the stock holders would be blessed with handsome divi- 1 deeds, yet I firmly belieVe that the borough, in its corporate capacity, might construct the whole of this road and be largely the gainer thereby in the end. I think this , proposition is susceptible of the clearest proof, and I shall endeavor to make it manifest at another time. It is natural for a man to doubt that which he does not fully compiehend ; and it is prudent in She capitalist not to invest his funds in a pro ject until he weighs well every contingency tie may operate against its success, and has an assurance based on reasonable grounds, that his 'investment will render him an adeqnute return for his risks. No man can be censored for using these precautions; Lot the fool' who rails at everything his feeble intellect cannot unde. at: n', should be treated with contempt; and the man who possesses the means of aiding an enter prise which has for its object the public good, yet whose bad heart prompts Wm to withhold that aid, It et some individuals, whom envy makes him hate, should be benefited thereby— ought to be branded as a traitor to his home, and an enemy of the general prosperity. Plank Roads were , introduced into Canada in 1834 by the Governor G,neral, Lord SydetihssS, who hail seen their utility in ,Russia. In the United States, tire one from Syricese to Central Square, N. Y., led the way. Being finished in ,IslB,.and its great surceits has already caused ,the construction of about Ave hundred miles in various parts of the State, and the piojeetion of twice as Many mote in if, arid in New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, ste, The most generally approved plan for taeir construction, is as follows : Two parallel rows pf timber are imbedded. in the road three or four feet apart. Planks ' eight feet long and three'or four inches thick, are placed on these sills at right angles to their direction. The ends of the plank are not laid evenly to a line, but project three or four Inches, alternately, so as to prevenf a rut front being formed by the side Of the plank track, and to make it easier for loaded wagons to get upon it ; as the wheels, instead of scraping along the edge of the planks, when crossing, towards the track obliquey.after turning off, will; on coming, square against the edge of one of these projecting planks, rite di rectly upon it. A side trail; of earth to turn Out upon must be carefully graded ; and deep ditches must be ding on each side to insnre per fect drainage ; and thus is formed a :dank road: In laying out a road of this character, it is in dispensable, in order to secure all the benefits which can be derived from it, to avoid , or cut down all steep ascents—a very short rise how ever, of even considerable steepness, may be allowed to remain to save expense; sine() a horse can, for a 'short time, put forth extra exertion to 'overcome such an increased re sistance ; and the danger of slipping is avoided by descending the earthen track. The . planks having been properly laid, they should be cov ered over one inch so thickness with very fine : gravel or course sand.' The grit of the sand soon penetrates into the grain of the wood and, combines with the fibres, and the droppings np- ' ou the road to forth a hard and tough covering, like felt, which greatly protects the wood from the wheels and horses shoes. The motion on it road of this kind has been compared to travel ling on a track of well beaten snow. rirn o Inow procrel to give the costs of some of the ro,ds now in °petition. The Syracuse and Central Square plank road, sixteen miles, cost 81187 per Mile, with himber at $5,20 per M. It has a sMgle 8 feet track, eleeept over a few spots of yielding sand. The average number of teams which passed °Vet this road the first two years was 220 per day ! The gomeand Oswe go road, sixty. twermiles, cost $BO,OOO, or about SI3QO per mile, lumber costing from 4 to $5 per M. It is of eight feet Hemlock planls three to four inches thick, with grades cut down to 1 in 20. The Utica torthern road, 22 miles, cost $lBOO per mile. A short roan rear Detroit, eight feet wide, laid on a traveled roadway, cost - , with lumber at $0 per M., $l5OO per mile. Twelve years may safely be assumed as the average minimum of durability of ail oak plank road ; one set of sleepers will outlast two plankinz..e. After it is completed it is estimated that $2O per mile would be required the first year to re store the grade -whale it had settled, to fasten loose planks, &c. For the next years $lO per mile. These loads have all been very profita ble to the stockholders, and their average divi dends declared reach nearly 25 per cent ! The' foregoing facts furnish a data which will enable any person familiar with the geography of the country through which the proposed road passes to determine with reasonable accuracy, whether it will offer sufficient inducements to the capitalist to embark in the enterprise.-- More anon.

RThe Pitt sbt.rg papers of Saturday con-' ain accounts of a riot in that city on 'Friday by females. They Were mostly the wives and friends of the boilers and peddlers now on a strike, or the work, men employed ?n the iron establish ments in that city, Most of whom were men from the east, and who were em ployed after the strike, to the places of those standing out. 7he Gazette says: - They first attacked the Works of Messrs. Graff, Lindsay & and took forcible possession, driving the paddlers and boilers before them like sheep. They then gave vent to their spirits 4 throw ing dirt, etc., into the furnaces, and suc ceeded in spoiling several hundred del lars worth of iro,t. They were follow ed by a large crowd of men and boys, who urged them on, and were evidently prepared to defend theta against any re sistance. The rioters next proceeded to the works of Messrs. Shoenbergers, and endeavored to play the same game there, but the police managed to keep them from entering. They walked around the outside several times, whooping and yel ling and throwing heavy missiles at the workmen. A dispatch to the Governor on Tues day stated that the rioting continued, and requested him to obtain permission of (he Secretary of War to use the United States Arms in the Arsenal in that eity i to suppress it, in case it should be necessary. Tile Organization of Labor. The intelligent and sturdy nr_elirmits of, the West seem disposed to settle' fhis perplexing•question in the most practi'-' cal and satisfactory way. The Iron moulders' association at Industry, near Cincinnati, continues in successful oper ation, and another similar establishment will be opened at a place celled Califor nia, eight mites further up the 'Ohio, on (the first of June;' and still another, at goine.City making .ultogether over two' hundred iron moulders regularly and profitably employed on their own ac count, and sharing among themselves all the profits of their own labor. The' iron moulders of Pittsburg are agitating the same idea, and have already eornmen , ced taking steps to carry it into practice. In• that city there are already two or three glass establishments owned by the workmen, and more are in embryo: The tailors, shoemakers, cabinet makers and hatters are also talking of similar er ganizations. In Wheeling the nail cut ters have a large establishment which they own themselves, and which yields them large profits. The paddlers and boilers of . W heeling are also organizing on an independant footing. In Philadel phia the seamstresess and dress makers carry on an eitensive establishtrient, whirls furnishes a home and profitable employment to a large number of girls who, under theold system, could scarce ly keep soul arid body together, A new Idea. The Pottsville Mining Register gives the following us the latest wrinkle in the way of transportation—a scheme that will doubtless ruin the railroad and ca= nal if it should ever be put in• co/ca tkin e "AI colisideratte stir is being mildest this time about the new mode proposed for transporting coal from Schuylkill county to Philadelphia, by water, enclo sed in cast iron tubes of wide diameter. The full,. being :600 feet in 9 . 0 miles, is considered sufficient, arid the cool being less than one-third heavier thaw water, it is thought that two-thirds Crater and lone-third - coat Wilf be the right propor tion. it is demonstrated that 18,000 tons can be passed daily through a sin gle tube of three feet diameter, at a cost of 25 cents per ton. This may give you a smile.
