To the Independent Voters of Hun

Hsvrso been strongly urged by numerous friends
from all parts of the county, to offer myself
as an Independent candidate for the office of Sher
iff, st the approaching election, and considering the
almost universal desire to have an Independent
candidate as sufficient justification for my course,
I have acceded to their wishes, and announce my
self to you as a candidate fur that office, pledging
myself, if elected, to discharge its duties with fi
delity and humanity. 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

Wm. H. Irvin, for his visit and the interesting and
eloquent address which he delivered.
Resolved, That believing as we do, that she mca

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

form it on the second Tuesday of October.

Resob•ed, That the irocecdings of this meeting

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:

Storms.
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! Fail not to GO TO
THE POLLS next Tuesday, and by the election
of JOHN M'CULLOCH, attest your continued
devotion to the old fashioned PennsylvaninDemo ,
erotic doctrine of PROTECTION TO AMF.RI ,
CAN INDUSTRY Area for the conflict, and
strike one snore blow for your country:—
"Strike till the last armed foe expiies
Strike for your altars and your fires !
Strike for the green graves of your sires!
God and our native land!"

We were about to say a word in relation to the
base and false charges made against Et.tEt. SMITH,
Esq., of Union township, by a lying scribbler in
the last Globe, when we received the following
card from Mr. Smith himself, which we insert us
being all the reply necessary. Mr. S's character
as a Whig, and a mrm, canpot be injured at this
late day :

MR. CLAM( :--1 have neither the time nor the
disposition to enter into a paper war with any man
or part•. But permit me to say, that there is just
as much truth in the representations of the Ming,
ruling himself a "Huntingdon Democrat," as there
was in the professed love of the fweoftwo party for
the Tariff of 1842. BUM SMETII.
Locoroca Galphinizing!
The public lands given by the present session
of Congress to various contemplated improve
ments, reach the enormous stun of thirty-eight
million, five hundred thousand acres!—equal to
al routforty-sercn millionsajdellars I The Congress
which thus squanders sway millions, while at the
same time it is passing resolutions of censure on
General Taylor and his cabinet for paying just
claims with interest Mali, revolutionary patriots,
is locofoco in both homes. But there is nothing
astonishing in all this to any One who has observed
'the course pursued by that party fur years. Its
adherents can raise a great outcry against the ex
penditure of a few dollars when made by Whigs,
but if millions are thrown away or quietly fobbed
by some good locofoco, there is not n word said—
no howls raised—no crocodile tears shed !—Letc

Chirps trona the Chivalry.
The Charleston Mercury seems to he in a very
ill humor with the rest of mankind, or at least with
the Northern part of his species. It assures its
readers that the Nashville convention wil/memblo
though its President, Judge Sharkey, "does not
seem to have any very clear idea of the side he is
on," and may not in all probability attend. 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. The
Mercury, we think, begins to have misgivings that
difficulties will be adjusted. It fears, like Eldon,
that—

Andy Parker is trying to humbug some of our
citizens into a belief that the taritrof '46 is highe r
in its ditties than that of '42. How will the above
farts tally with his statements?
'What a Vote Slight Do.
It would be very well for ontWliigl;ediren to
bear in mind, that upon the next Congress might
devolve the selection of a President of the United
States, in the event of non-election by the people.
It shows the importance of every rote being thrown
for one of good sound Whig principles. Remem
ber, Whigs, that every vote given to Parker will
he a vote in favor of a Locofoco President of the
United States. Lot no Whig, therefore, fail to
attend the election and vote for APCum.ocn.
Treason in the South.
The "Chivalry" of the South are bent on resis
tance to the recent "Compromise" measures of
Congress. South Carolina has thrown away the
scabbard and proclaimed war. The Governor of
Georgia has called a Convention to organize resis
tance. The Governor of Mississippi is about to
imitate the example, and the Governor of Texas
has vetoed the bill referring the boundary adopted
by Congress to the people for their approval or
dissent. Those States, like so many Philadelphia
rowdies, are determined to "raise a muss." By
and by they will commit some overt act and get
into the clutches of Uncle Sam. Then look out
for breakers !
fiR" The Lewistown Democrat thinks we am
scared about Congressmen. When we send the
editor the Juniata returns, he will find out how
much reason we have to he apprehensive. If ev
ery county in the district will change the vote for
Congress as much as Juniata, Dr. McCulloch's
majority will not be less than 500! We are not
talking for talk's sake, but speak the 'words of
truth and soberness.'--:/iotiata Sentinel.
