JOHN WHITTAKER. August 20, 1850.—pd. te. tgr No paper will be issued front this office next week. We will issue extras announcing the ereEneii mi campwgn, and need a little breathing spell. AN APPRENTICE, To the PRINTING BUSINESS will he taken at this office, if application be made soon. A lad between 16 and 17 years of age, who can come well recommended, will find a good opportunity to learn the business. Look Out!--Examine Your Tickets. WH ups ! examine your tickets before voting!— All manner of mongrel Tickets are being printed and sent out among the people. See that the tick et you vote contains the names found under the head of our paper. We understand that Mr. Chas. E. Kinkead has his name printed on a large num ber of tickets with that of Wm. B. SMITH, and al so has some with his own name and that of SETH It. M'Cvea, the other regular Whig candidate for the Legislature. In this way he expects to defeat one of the Whig candidates. Mr. Ilstekedom, who was brought out by his enemies, is to be entirely abandoned. They intend to make the great effort for Kinkead. Look to this matter, Whigs. See that your Legisiative ticket contains the names of WILLIAM It. SMITH and SETII R. M'CUNE. They are every way worthy of your support.— They are both honest, intelligent Farmers, and as good Whigs as live. They were tidily nominated according to the usages of the party, and when elected, will be reliable representatives, and Whigs about whose course there will be no douht. Again we say, EXAMINE youß TICKETS: Go to the Polls Early. Whenever there is important work to he done, we begin EARLY and work with VIGOR. Then every Whig should be on the gromid when the Polls open, and STAY THERE ALL DAY.— After voting, every elector should ascertain wheth er his neighbor has voted, and if not, GO AFTER HIM. If every Whig who feels an interest in the result of the coming election, would no DUI DUTY, victory would be certain. Vote the Whole Ticket ! Do not scratch a single name! The men pla ced upon your ticket have all been fairly nomina ted, and have a claim upon your support. Sacri fice for once the prejudices, the partialities that may govern you. Give up yourown private wish es for the good of all, and VOTE THE WHOLE. WHIG TICKET. The success of the principles of your party imperiously requires this course. "Young Men for Action." "Old men for counsel, and young men for AC TION." The hard work of a campaign usually falls upon the young men; they are active, zeal ous and willing. If we were sure that every Poll in the State would he attended, through the day, by ten young men, we would not give a farthing to be assured of a victory. Will not the young men of Huntingdon county take hold of the work, and see that a fell vote is polled in every district? The Man who Neglects to Vote, Ilas no right to complain of his Taxes, unjust laws, or the mal-administration of affairs. By disregarding the privileges and duties of a freeman, he virtually renounces all political rights, all legal protection, and tiocomes a voluntary outlaw, in stead of an integral part of the body politic. It is the Dtvr of every freeman to vote. THE TIME HAS COME ! A Grand Whig Rally at the Polls I Wako up, Whigs! for your cuuse it is glorious; Like your sires be united—like them be victorious WHIGS OF OLD PUNTINODON: The election will take place in one week from to-ddy, and tide is the last opportunity that will be afforded ns of saying anything to you upon the isubject, The time for argument has gq to by. What we want now is ACTION-prompt, united, vigorous ACTION! As we have repeatedly told you, the issues invol ved in this contest are of vital importance to Penn sylvania; and every man who loves his country and the cherished Republican principles of the Whig party, should rally at once under the time honored flag which has so often led them to vic tory, with a patriotic determinatirm to "follow it into the thickest of the fight !" In the language of our beloved and lamented Chief, ZACHARY TAYLOR, who marshaled the Whig army in the memorable campaign of 1848, and achieved such a brilliant civic triumph, "WE CANT' BE BEAT WHEN WE ALL PULL TOGETHER !" Then let us throw aside every personal feeling—sacrifice, for once, our personal preferences—forget all past differences, for the good of the Whig canoe and the country—and "ALL PULL TOGETHER," like brethren of one great political family, whose only object is the prosperity, honor and glory of our ancient Commonwealth, and the perpetuity of our glorious Republican institutions. By a united ef fort, we will not only elect the WHOLE WHIG COUNTY TICKET, but contribute largely to wards the election of a Whig Canal Commission er, Auditor General, Surveyor General, a Whig Delegation in Congress, a Whig majority in the Legislature, and consequently a Whig U. States Senator. Then for the last time, and in view of the great issues involved, we appeal to onr Whig friends to DO THEIR DUTY ON TUESDAY NEXT! To give one day to their country! The Locofocos, marshaled under the black flag of FREE TRADE AXD Low WAGES, are prepared for the contest, and will present an unbroken front. Should Parker be elected it will be heralded abroad as a FREE TRADE TRIUMPH, by the enemies of American Labor! In that event, we may bid farewell to all hope of obtaining that Protection which the great industrial interests of the "Iron District" so imperatively demand. Then we en treat the Whigs and Tariff men of old Huntingdon to rally in the majesty of their strength under the glorious Banner that protects them—the Republi can Banner of PROTECTION TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY—and move forward in solid phalanx to the political battle-field, determined, like the Spartan sons, to return with their shields, or upon them. The few days that intervene between this and the election, should be well employed. Every election district should be thoroughly canvassed, and every Whig voter urged to turn out! Not a single man should be overlooked. Only let there he A GRAND WHIG RALLY AT THE POLLS, and we feel confident of a brilliant Whig victory ! Let all do their linty—THElß WttOLE DUTY—and nothing short of their duty—and when "the noise of the battle is over," and "the bugle no more weapons, "roll up their gallant flag," and return from the scene of their brilliant triumphs, exclaim ing, in the language of Shakspeare's King Richard the Third:—"Now are our brows bound with vic torious wreaths!" William B. Zeigler. The opposition to this gentleman, the Whig nominee for Sheriff; ever since the Convention presented his namo to the people, has been of the most unscrupulous and fiendish character. All manner of false stories have been put in circulation to injure him. But we rejoice to know that the good sense of the People has rendered these false hoods and calumnies entirely ineffectual. For the information of all we will give a brief and truthful history of the Whig candidate for Sheriff. WILLIAM B. ZEIGLER, is a mechanic, a Tinner; was born in Cumberland county, and came to this county to work as a journeyman between seventeen and eighteen years ago. By industry and economy, he soon was enabled to start a shop of his own in this place and has ever since been industriously pursuing his occupation here. His standing in this place is as fair as any other citi zen. He is raising his young family respectably, and performing all the duties of a good citizen and an honest man. We never heard aught breathed against the character of Mr. Zeigler in this com munity. In politics, Mr. Zeigler has ever been an active, zealous Whig, always supporting the reg ularly nominated ticket of his party. The late Whig Convention nominated hint for the office of Sheriff; and lie is therefore entitled to every Whig! vote in the county at the election. Ile has the ea paeity to make a competent officer, and the dispo titian to be accommodating and kind to all who may have business with him. His election is be yond all doubt. Union Township. The Globe of last week says there was a meet ing, well attended, at the house of Z. Pheasant, in Union township, on the Saturday evening previ ous, of persons friendly to the volunteer candidates, and also that several able speeches were made.— Now the truth is, the meeting was called by a Lo cofoco at 2 o'clock, but not a single individual at-' tended. The orators, Williamson and Africa, re mained until evening and by that time were in fine spirits to speak whether they hail en audience or not. And they did speak, to the half dozen that collected in the bar-room. Not a Whig was pre sent who approved the object of the meeting, and we arc informed by those who were present, that never did two full grown mon render themselves more ridiculous than the gentlemen who are re presented as having made "able speeches." The story of the Globe about a meeting of the regular Whigs at the School House is false. Those who heel called that meeting, had taken down the notices a week previous, and had given notice that no meeting would be held, as it was feared speak ers could not be procured. Union township will support the regular Whig ticket. Mark the Traltore We call the attention of the workingmen of Pennsylvania to the vote of their representatives on the motion to modify and amend the Tariff:— Let them see who are their friends and who trait ors to their interests. And let them MARK AS TRAITORS such representatives no MeLANA HAN, ROSS, and the Locofoco Free-Traders from Pennsylvania. Indecent Assaults. ' The Globe of last week made a most indecent attack on Gov. Johnston. And not content with this, the editor, in his wrath at the approach of a man who makes friends wherever he appears am ong the people, had to indulge in a most vulgar assault on a private citizen of this town. We do not deem it necessary to defend either the Gover nor, or the citizen alluded to, from the pnny as saults of the Globe. It must be remembered that at this particular time, the editor of the Globe is in a very bad state of temper. lie made a snug little private arrangement with Whittaker, in which he stipulated to transfer to him, at his command, the whole Democratic vote of the county. But unfortunately, when he attempted to carry out his bargain, the Democracy bolted, and told him they would not be sold to a renegade Whig This left the editor in a most perplexing position. No won der he is ill-natured. And indeed this was not the first time the Democracy of this county refused to follow his dictation. Last year he opposed Col. DUFF, the regular candidate of his party for the Legislature; and notwithstanding all his. efforts, only one hundred and seventy-two of the Democ racy followed his lend! With these striking examples of the influence of the editor of the Globe, even with his own party, we give him full license to attack Gov. Johnston, and every member of the Whig party against whom his mighty wrath may be excited. Ile can too, if he sees proper, repeat the unprovoked false and sneaking insinuation which he published in refer ence to ourself, two weeks ago, relative to the Whig nomination for Sheriff. Pour out your spleen, Mr. Globe. False Charges. We are informed that a son of John Whittaker,' who resides in Allenville, Mifflin county, is riding', about in this county making all manner of false charges against the Whig candidate for Sheriff, Mr. Zeigler. We caution the public to be on their guard against this fellow. Where he is known, he can do no harm, for he is regarded by all who know him well, as a most unblushing, bare-faced Liar. He cannot tell the truth, even when it would answer his purpose better than fidschood. One of the charges circulated by the friends of Whittaker, against Mr. Zeigler, is that he is a' drunkard. Now every man in this community knows this to be a most wicked and malicious slander. Every one who knows Mr. Zeigler is astonished that his enemies would have thought of making such a charge against him. The charge comes with a bad grace from the friends of John Whittaker. For it is well known here, to say nothing of Mr. Whitutker's own habits, that he has, ever since he announced himself for Sheriff, been attempting to buy votes with his 'Whiskey.— This game be plays boldly. Men are seen daily reeling from his bar-room in a state of most shock ing intoxication. Whittaker cares not how much harm he may do to those men or their families so that he may gain their votes. And his son is ri ding around telling landlords to give out as much Whiskey ns they please on his father's account and the bills will be settled after the election.— These are facts, and we ask the sober thinking for a man guilty of such conduct? Will you sus tain a candidate who is attempting to get into of fice by the influence of Whiskey? We think the right minded men of all parties will respond NO at the ballot box. To be Remembered t Let every friend of American Industry remem ber before casting his rote at the approaching elec tion that ANDREW FAnaan is the candidate of the party which passed the present British Tarift; and which refused a few days ago in Congress to mod ify said Tariff, although petitioned to do so by more than half a million of Free American La borers. Let it also be remembered, that if Axurtaw PAtuten should be elected to Congress he will re flect the wishes and opinions of his party, and as that party is in favor of the British Tariff, the La boring men of this District need expect no aid from him towards its modification or repeal. Let it also be remembered, that JOHN Mc- CULLOM! is a Tariff man and the candidate of the Tariff party, tltat he is opposed to the British Tariff of 1846, and will use all his exertions to have it repealed or modified, regardless of the opinion of Sir Henry Balwer, or what may be "disagreeable to the feelings of else people of Eng land." All flight in the Whig Camp. Our news from all quarters is of the most en couraging character. Dr. JOHN M'C ULLOCH, the popular Whig candidate for Congress, is ma king friends wherever he goes. With a fair Whig tarn out in this county, he will be elected by a handsome majority. The Whigs of this county are now united on all their candidates, and with a good turn out at the polls, will triumphantly elect the WHOLE WHIG TICKET. Will not the active men in the several townships make an effort to get the whole Whig vote out I We hope they will. This is the last paper which will reach our subscribers previous to the election, and the last appeal we can make. Let every Whig, then, pre- Pre to do his whole duty. The British Tariff. .10 it true, as stated by the New York Tnbtme, that "Foreigners already own, (in the shape of bonds or stocks) half the Railroads and Canals" in the United States ? Is it trite the amount of stocks sent abroad for the purpose of paying for British manufactures is fearfully great, and if al ready half of the stocks of those companies is own ed by Foreigners, we can readily assent to the Tri bune's assertion, that they " are likely to acquire the remainder, unless a radical change in our course of trade is effected." This is one of the beautiful operations of the British Tariff of 1846 ! Is it not time to quit, or must we go on till not only the stocks of the country, but the mortgages on our houses and lands are owned by the British? Breakers Ahead. A correspondent of the Telegraph writes that a second Locofoco County Convention met in Craw ford county, and nominated a second Locofoco ticket, and resolved that they could not rote for J. Porter Braille!, for Surveyor General! Mr. Jos. Patton waa nominated for Assembly. It is now evident that Mr. Brawley cannot be elected by the votes of those who know anything about him; and we think his defeat inevitable. WHIG MEETINGS. Gov. Johnston in Utintingdon. Gov. WM. F. JOHNSTON, accompanied by Gen. Wm. H. Irm', of Lewistown, arrived in Huntingdon on Tuesday evening last, at about half past seven o'clock. Soon after their arrival, the' Court House bell was rang and a large concourse of Whigs and other citizens assembled in the Court House to hear an address front the Governor, and to welcome him to Huntingdon. The meeting was organized by appointing JAS. GILLAM, Esq., President D. &nut, Esq., C. WIGTON, W. CHRISTY, Esq., S. R. STEVENS, R. STITT, and DAVID MILLER, Vice Presidents K. Neff and Nelson Ball, Secretaries. Soon after the organization, Our. &T/INSTON appeared in the meeting and was received with hearty and enthusiastic cheers, clapping of hands, &c. Col. A. K. CORNYN introduced the Gover nor in a few appropriate remarks. Gov. JOHN STON was then loudly called for and addressed the meeting. It would he doing injustice to the Gov ernor, even if we had the space, to attempt to give an abstract of his forcible and eloquent speech.— Like everything which eminates from him, it was vigorous, dignified and convincing. Among oth er things, the Governor paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the late lamented President TAY LOR, and spoke in the highest terms of his succes sor, President Fillmore. He adverted to the pol icy of his own administration, explaining and de fending the various measures proposed. He spoke in the highest terms of the character and qualifi cations of the gentlemen composing the Whig State Ticket, Messrs. DUNGAN, SNIDER end HEN. PERSON, and pronomteed them every way worthy the votes of the People. In conclusion the Gov ernor urged upon the Whigs the ditty of turning out to the election, and if they approved the mea sures of the National and State Administrations, to sustain those measures by electing Whig Con gressmen and Whig members of the Legislature. During the delivery of this speech, the Governor was frequently interrupted by most enthusiastic applause, and when he concluded was again greet ed 1 ! with three cheers. Gen. Wm. H. Inwirt was then called for, and addressed the meeting. The General was ex ceedingly happy in his remarks. As a speaker, he has few superiors in the interior of the State.— Mr. Parker, the Free Trade candidate for Con gress, received a full share of his "grape." He showed, by the most convincing argument, that no greater calamity could befal the district, than Parker's election to Congress, and called on the Whigs to turn out in their strength to prevent it. He said that in Mifflin county, Dr. M'CucLocu would receive a good vote, and that although some of the Locofocos said Dr. M'Culloch was only fit to administer pills, the signs of the times uner ringly indicated that he would give Parker such a "physic" on the second Tuesday of October, as would prevent him from making Free Trade speeches in the next Congress. The General's speech was received with marked approbation and enthusiasm, and when he concluded, the meeting adjourned, all seeming highly delighted with the WHIG RALLY IN CASSVILLE. Gov. Johnston among the People of Trough Creek. At an early hour on Wednesday morning, Gov. JOHNSTON, accompanied by a number of the citi zens of Huntingdon, set out for Camville, to at tend a Whig Rally which had been called at that place a few days previous. On arriving at the public house of Z. Pheasant, in Union township, six miles from Cassrille, the party was met by a large Committee of escort, appointed by the citi zens of Cuss township. Before entering the town of Camille, the company eras met by several com panies of military, called out to welcome the Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. The military were under the command of Gen. Gao. W. Sr En, and pre sented a very handsome appearance. We venture to assert that no small town in the interior of the State could got up so creditable a military recep tion, as was done on this occasion by Geri. Speer. After parading through the streets, the company halted at the place prepared for the meeting. Gen. Semen, on behalf of the military, welcom ed the Governor in a neat and spirited address.— The Governor replied, thanking the military for their very flattering reception, and assuring them that lie would use all his influence to encourage the volunteers of the State. Gen. Inwix being called for also made a brief and appropriate ad dress to the military, and the company then ad journed for dinner. At 2 o'clock, P. M., a very large concourse of d People assembled at the place prepared for the Whig meeting. Notwithstanding the notice was very short, and this the busy season among the farmers, the meeting, in point of numbers, exceed ed the expectations of every one. The meeting was organized by appointing GEORGE HUDSON, Esq., of Clay township, President. Vice Presidents.—De.vm AnnAlvnt, Esq., HER- M' ELIAS, AniunAm Saone, IL DEAN, and Wm- LIAM CIIILCOTE. Secretaries.—J. Greenland, Esq., N. Corbin, The Governor was then introduced to the meet ing by J. SEW ELL STEWART, Esq., and wits re ceived with great applause. Gov. JOHNSTON then rose and delivered one of the ablest, most eloquent and argumentative ' speeches it has ever been our good fortune to lis ten to. As in Huntingdon, he spoke of the mea sures of the National and State Administrations, and called on all who approved them, to sustain those measures by their votes. He justified in the most convincing manner, his veto of the first Ap portionment bill—lie remarked on the necessity of carrying out his endeavor to extinguish the State debt, by forming a nucleus at the last session for its gradual reduction and final extinction; and ob served that the actual and necessary expenses of government, for all three departments, legislative, executive and judiciary, amounted to the small sum of $250,000; whereas, four millions were an nually paid by taxation, &c., by the citizens of the State; but had we no debt, two millions of dollars, after all expenses paid, might be annually applied in furtherence of our system of common school ed ucation. He, in the most plain, argumentative and convincing manner, urged the necessity of a change in the collection of our national revenue, so as by that means, (and no other presented it self,) to protect and foster home industry, and pro duce a home market; lie also by the most forcible and conclusive arguments, showed the fallacy and folly of the dependence of our agriculturalists on a foreign market for their produce. Ile explained lucidly and eloquently, the importance of the re sults which would follow the next election, instan cing the election of Auditor General, Surveyor General, Prosecuting Attorneys, and the alteration by amendment of our organic law, making an elec- I tire judiciary. He appealed to his fellow citizens' with irresistible force, endeavoring to convince men of every party, that it was their ditty, even at self sacrifice, to attend anti vote at the next' election. The Governor spoke for more than an hour. His speech was listened to by the large con course present with most marked attention, and we venture to assert, found a hearty response in the hearts of all present. Gen. Wm. 11. Irwin, was called for and made one of his happiest efforts. Ile occasionally held the audience in breathless silence by his flights of eloquence, and then he would have them convul sed with laughter by his well directed wit and ear eastu. At the conclusion of Gen. Irwin's speech the meeting adjourned, all seeming highly deliglded with the exercises of the day. The citizens of Trough Creek seemed highly pleased whh the Governor whom their votes help ed to elect, and the Governor was delighted with the unaffected and warm-hearted reception he re ceived, as well as with the appearance of that beautiful valley. EVENING MEETING. Pursuant to notice given at the adjournment of the meeting in the afternoon, the Whigs of Cass and the adjoining townships, assembled in the School House in Cassville, on the evening of the 25th ult. The meeting was organized by appoint ing Pr. JESSE WRIGHT, Provident; HENRY UNDERWOOD, CALED SWOOPE, COL JOHN STE vEn, and R. READ, Vice Presidents; Benj. C. Glassgote, Gideon Elias, PIA, D. Stever, Secre taries. Elias Wilson, J. Greenland, Esq., Col. John Stever, Dr. Win. Brewster and Win. Green were appointed a Committee to draft resolutions expres sive of the sense of the meeting. During the absence of the Committee, the meet ing was ably addressed by Col. IL A. McMurtrie, and S. L. Glassgow. J. Clark, also made a few remarks. The Committee on resolutions returned the fol lowing, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we return our sincere thanks to Wm. F. JOHNSTON, Pennsylvania's honored and able Chief Magistrate, for his visit to Cassville, us well as for the truly eloquent and patriotic address which he hail the kindness to deliver. Resolved, That our thanks ace also doe to Gen. Wm. H. Irvin, for his visit and the interesting and eloquent address which he delivered. Resolved, That believing as we do, that she mca sures proposed by the National and State Admin istrations to be peculiarly adapted to advance the interests of the State and Nation and Our beloved Commonwealth, we will do all in our power to sustain those measures and secure their permanent • adoption. Resolved. That we will give a Lona PULL, a STRONG PULL and a PULL •LTOGRTHER, for the WHOLE WHIG TICKET, from Auditor Gen eral down to County Auditor. Resolved, That V olunteer, sell-nominated candi dates, find no litvor in this region, believing as we do that they are willing to be all things to all men and all parties, that they may receive their votes. Resolved, That the Whigs of Cass township know their duty, and they will, as heretofore, per form it on the second Tuesday of October. Resolved, That the People of Cassville return their thanks to the citizens of Huntingdon who visited our town on the 25th ult. Resob•ed, That the irocecdings of this meeting be signed by the officers and published in the "Huntingdon Journal." Collector at Philadelphia. Wm. D. Lewis, Esq., appointed 'Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, by Gen. Taylor, was on 18th ult., cat; firmed the by U. S. Senate, by a large vote. Mr. Lewis's nomination has been before the Senate since the opening of the session of Congress having encountered the most determined opposi tion from Senator Cooper. On Wednesday Mr. Cooper made his final speech at considerable length against the nomination, after which the vote was taken, resulting as follows: Ares.—Messrs. Baldwin, Barnwell, Ben, Ben ton, Berrien, Butler, Clause, Clark, Clay, Davis of Mississippi, Davis of Muss., Dawson, Dayton, Dodge, of Wis., Donge of lOW., Downs, Ewing, Uwinn, Green, Hale, Hamlin, Hunter, King, Mangum, Mason, Pratt, Busk, Sebastian, Seward, Shields, Soule, Spruance, Turney, Wales, Walker, W inthrop.-36.

Ou the eveningof the 25th ult., the Equinoctial came upon us with great fury, in the shape of a most terrific thunder-storm. The storm contin ued, with short intervals, up to 12 o'clock, of the 26th ult. We have rarely witnessed sharper lightning, or heard louder peals of thun der, than on this occasion. On the night of the 26th, another thunder-storm visited us, not so se vere, however, as the one of the previous evening. And on the afternoon of Friday,27th, still another storm, more terrific in its character, (being accom panied with hail), visited this region. At this place the hail was small, and did no damage, hut we regret to learn that at Alexandria, Petersburg, and the surrounding neighborhoods, and in the vallies of Shaver's Creek and Stone Creek, the window-glass was nearly all broken, and several persons severely injured by the hail. In the local ities mentioned, we understand that hail fell mea suring seven and eight inches in circumference. Gov. Johnston in Union County. Gov. Johnston attended a Whig mass meeting in Union county on the 17th ult., accompanied by Daniel M. Smyser, Esq., of Adams county. They were welcomed in the most enthusiastic manner. They were met at Lewisburg by large delegations from Union, Northumberland, Columbia, Montour and other counties, and escorted to New Berlin,— The meeting was very large, and the greatest en thusiasm prevailed. The Governor and Mr. Smy ser both made able speeches. Several other ad dresses were also made, and a series of spirited resolutions adopted. Friends of Protection I Look around you in every direction—see the Furnaces blown out—see the Forgo hammer stilled and silent—see the prostrate condition of your Factories—the hundreds of Laborers thrown out of employment; see with what fiendish joy the Locofoco presses, mere tools of Queen Victoria and her royal babies, exult over this ruin and de , solution, and then vote for Andy Porter and Free Trade if you can! Vote in favor of propping up, the falling Throne of England's haughty Queen! Vote money into the pockets of English aristocrats and nabobs!! Vote to desolate the hearth-stones and fire-sides of your friends and country-men Vote in favor of reducing the price of labor to the starving rates paid iu European countries ! If you can dp this accursed act, you can snatch the bread from the hand of a starving child, and throw it to the dogs. You can glory in the misfortunes of your neighbor, and rejoice over the downfall of your country's glory and happiness! Friends of Protection!

The Mercury recites the accumulated indignities which have been heaped upon the South, and seems to think that "a Mil representation of the Southern convention" will be an adequate remedy.
