The Canal Commissioners appear anz ious to acquire an infamous notoriety.— On the North Branch Canal they give the good funds of the State to Gordon F. Ma ton and JOU Laperte—two as bitter Lb corocoti as any one need desire to see— and these men in return furnish their shaving shop ragged depreciated small notes of other States. The Canal officers contrary to law, compel the la borers to take this filthy currency or go without pay! This is the way Locofoco Canal officers treat poor men on the North Branch. They aro treating them even worse on the Delaware Division.— They have paid them for but one month's work far More than a year past. Road the following from the Easton Whig of the 3d inst : "We hear complaints from every quar ter against the Canal Commissioners, for their conduct on the Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania canal. Whilst other sections of the State aro receiving their pay, and the Commissioners are prosecu ting extensive experiments on the l'or tage, and elsewhere, the Delaware ,Divi sion, the most profitable section in the State, is robbed and defrauded of the very money which she pours into the public treasury. . _ _ The hands who keep the canal in or der have received but one month's pay for more than a year past. If these gen tlemen suppose that the peoplo along the Delaware Division are to be forever com pelled to wait till the last, they are mis taken. We know that the appropriations for the Delaware Division of our Canal were largely increased the last session of the Legislature. What has becdme of the money? It is a disgrace to tho Com monwealth that her laborers are deprived of their honest earnings. If an individ ual should pretend to carry on improve ments and keep his lab?rors out of their money for a year at a time, he would not hold up his head in society. Why shall the agents of the State be allowed so to disgrace her 1 We say again, let this be looked to. Let our laborers have their rigts ; their ask no favor—nothing but their hard earnings to be paid to them, in. order that they may discharge the claims upon them. We shall refer to this subject again Unless the evil is remedied." The object of the Canal Commission ere is manifest. They destie to build up •=x 4 floating debt unauthorized by the Leg- , lature and in the meantime allow their servants to use the money appropriated for repairs to fill their pockets or electioneer for William 'Bigler. We have had enough of this villany. It shall not be practiced any longer with our consent. We demand to know to what use the money has been applied which the Legislature appropria ted to keep up the Delaware Division of the Canal 2 Why have the laborers not been paid ? Who has the money just ly belonging to them? Are Locofoco 'offi cers not content with robbing the State? Must they rob laborers also? Why is it they Don't Answer I For several weeks we have been seeking an explanation of certain facts which aro proved by the Records of the State. The Locofoco press have not condescended to give the necessary explanation, and briefly present them again in the hope of meet ing with better success. We wish to know; Ist. Why no foes were ever paid front the office of the Secretary of the Com monwealth into the State Treasury for the fourteen months, elapsing between April Ist, 1843, and June Ist, 1844 2d. What was the name of the clerk in the Secretary's office, who for eight years Fcceived $7OO per your for recording, the laws; although he never recorded a single line 11' 3d. Why was it that in 1845—'46—'47 and '4B, the entire amount received by the State from the Enrollment of Laws was only $9,080, whilst with the same prices, - Gov. Johnston in 1849 and '5O received $20,635 ? 4th. Why was it that so small an amount was ever, under former Locofoco Adminis trrtions, paid into the State Treasury as tax on taxable commissions issued by the Governor. In 1845 but $259 39 were accounted for, although about one thou sand Cointhissions were issued to Justices of the Peace, on each of which the law imposed a tax of $2l sth. Why was it that, taking the years 1845—'46—'47—'48—'49 and '5O, over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS more were every year spent for public printing by Looofoco Legislatures, than when the Whigs eon trolled the Legislature 1 And iith. Why was it that, taking 1843—'44 '4s—'46—'47—'4B—'49 and '5O, the average annual Legislative expenses were under the Locofoeos NINETY-EIGHT THOUS AND SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGH TY DOLLARS AND NINETY-THREE CENTS, whilst under the Whigs they were only FIFTY-EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FOR T Y-ONE DOLLARS & TWENTY-FIVE CENTS or over FORTY THOUSAND DOL LARS less than under Locofoco rule 1 When these are explained we will have some more questions to ask. Wo com mend tho early attention of Loootoco Edi tors to these FACTS, which oven they dare not deny !—Daily ✓/merican. A Million. Few people have any conception of the stupendous sum, which is designed by this terns. Some writer having stated in an nrtfelo heiided wllut becomes of all - the pins? that million of billions of pins must vanish, nobody can toll how or where, in the course of a year, Euclid, a correspon dent of the National Intelligencer, shows up the absurdity of the assertion in the . following style : I think, sirs; the author tif that article tho't little of what ho was saying, when ho said that millions of billion's must vanish in the course of a year Many pins, un doubtedly, vanished every year; but any mathematician will demonstrate to us that a single billion has never yet been manu factured. A billion according to Noah Webster, is a million of millions—a nuni ber, so vast, I say, that the human mind has not the capacity to Comprehend it.— A manufactory making one hundred per minute, and kept in constant operation, would only make fifty-two millions five hundred and ninety-six thousand per an num, and would require near twenty Vida sand jeers, at the same ratio, without a single moments cessation, to make the mini ber called a billion. WHERE ARE WE TO LAND ? To our mind, there appears to lie hope of escape for the United States fi it her present financial cmbarrasments, than in a change of her present revenue stun, As we are now situated, we appear to be the mere shopkeepers of England for the goods which she manufactures for us out of our own materials. So long as this is the case, so long must we, in our judge ment, play this small second part, and our coin be at her command. To the gold of California, the United States is only a sort of half-way house, is its journey to England. For instance, the last Chagres steamer brought the large smtl of one million eight hundred thousand dol lars ; but scarcely had she landed her pre cious cargo before the steamship Africa sailed with eight hundred and fifty-seven thousand dollars of it, of that, which this was to replace. Three days after—last Friday—the City of Manehester sailed with two hundred and thirty-eight thou sand dollars ; and on Saturday, the Baltic followCd with five hundred and thirty-eight thousand more. Thus, in the space of a week, we received $1,800,000 from Cali fornia, and send $1,633,000 to England, to say nothing about that carried away by the packet ships for the store destination. This is only a sngle instance in the opera tion of the system. How much better for all our people—ex cept perhaps, a few importing merchants and ship owners,—would it be, if we fos tered our own manufactures, and thereby create a HOME MA.RKE:r for Our produce, and keep our coin in the country. It is a well established principle in political e conomy, that the cost of transportation must always be borne by the producer; hence the advantage that a maket at our doors must have over a foreign one, three or four thousand miles off.--Germantown Telegraph. Is Col. Bigler an Abolitionist ? Notwithstanding all the professions of Col. Bigler and his friends, that ho is pro slavery, and goes for slavery through thick and thin, oven for its re-establishment in the land of Penn, those who NC him as sociated with and supported by such Free Soil loaders as Wilmot & Co.. must suspect his honesty. If Col. Bigler is not an Abolitionist, why do his friends rely upon the free-soil yeti; for his election 2 Why do they boast that the free soil vote of Bradford and the northern counties will go for him and elect him 3 If Col. Bigler is not an Abolitionist, why did he put himself under the control of David Wilmot and his free soil friends, when ho visited Bradford county ? Why did he sit in convention and receive the at tention and caresses of these men, whom the locofoco organs denounce as "enemies and traitors to their country ?', Why is Col. Bigler in "sweet council" with such men ? and why has he employed as editor of the Union office, a man who formerly edited Wilmot's free-soil paper in Bradford county? If Col. Bigkr Is not an Aboli tionist, why is it that his whole hopes of election . rosts upon abolition votes? And he as well as his friends all know unless he gets the whole vote of his Abolition friends in the North, ho will be beat at lea 4 TWENTY THOUSAND IN THE STATE! ! Did not Wilmot publicly endorse him as their accepted and avowed candidate ? He did. [Pennsylvania. Telegraph, The Democracy of the Locofoco Party. Judge it by their three last candidates for the Presidency. Martin Van Buren was a Federalist, and voted to deprive poor men of the right to vote. James K. Polk was a Federalist, anti his grandfather was a tory in the Revolution. Lewis Cass was an ancient Federalist, and even iu this latter day exhibits his love for old Feder al doctrines, at every opportunity. James Buchanan, who is now , proposed as their candidate for 1852, it is well known ; long ago disclaimed the posSession of a single drop of democratic blood. And this is the party that arrogates to itself the title of Democratic! For twelvo years they have heeii fighting under Federal leaders, and yet they call themselves .Democrats! NUMBER 36. THE GRAIN HAMLET. We think that it is about time for the Farmers to begin to inquire after the whereabouts of their great friend, the • Tariff of 1846. Their great enemies the Iron-masters, are pretty well used up; half the Furnaces are out of blast--the Forgk• hammers are stopped—the mining of • Coal and Iron goes on very slowly, and the tolls on the Public Works are pretty seriously reduced; so far as those articles are concern ed. The way to Europe, though,—that great foreign Market which was to pay them so splendidly for their grain and thntr, is wide open —nearer at hand than Bier throught the operations of steam; and surely now they are reaping golden rewards for their products. Providence has been bountiful, and has blessed their labors with au abundant harvest of "the finest of wheat," heavy, 'round, ripe and rich; but what has the policy of man done for them? In 1847,, when the Irish famine and the failure of continental European crops, caus ed a demand for American breadstuffi4, how our Locofoco friends boasted of their Tar iff of 1846 ! Then wheat went up to $2 bushel, and flour to $9 and $lO a barrel; and the Farmers were told to look at that, and see what their true and only friends, the Locofoeos, had done for them. There were the fruits of the Tariff of 1846. Well that Tariff is still in being—the Lo cofoco majority in Congress, notwithstand ing Mr. FiLtAiottE's urgent rdboirmacittla tkms, refuse to permit their darling to be touched; and what now are the prices of grain ? Going down—down—down ! Wheat is 70 vents a btiltel—flour hardly brings $4 a barrel on time; and there is no prospect of a change for the better.— Eyery successive arrival from Europe brings intelligence like thiS : .Thnerican flour D ECIANED six pence per barrel—wheat had declined Ilea pence per 70 lbs. since the sailing of the Asia on the 16th of August ! All the while we are sending off Califor nia gold to import into our country ? wherd we already have so large a surplus, Euro pean wheat and flour, in the shape. of Iron, Cotton and Woollen G yetis, Silks, &c., &c., at the rate of Two Millions and a half of Dollars a month ! Well dues the Harris burg dlncrican exeiai " How admirable is Locofoeo policy It destroys our Home market—makes us dependent on a foreign. market—although that mallet is precarious, and has brought American wheat and flour so low that the American Farmer cannot sell his grain there at tieing prices. The Farmers of our country will learn their own interest when they come out for a Protective Tar iff—build up a safe and remunerating Market :tt home, and thus ensure living prices for their products. Whig policy will promote the Farmers' interest. Lo cofoeo p,,liey is now depressing it and has redneed the price of grain to its present low stionhcrd." A GIRL VI!() WORKED IN A PRNTINO .
