Sept. 11, 1851. !Cr - We will print the Whig Tickets in few days, when our friends in the differ ent districts can be supplied by calling at our office, New Advertisements. We call attention to numoroua new ad-1 vertisements, to wit:—Sale of valuable property of Dr. Swoope, in Huntingdon and vicinity—Salo of an interest in the Vaudevander property below Mill Creek— Sale of Real Estate of Samuel N. Whar ton, deed., in Cromwell township—Sale of a valuable farm near the Burnt Cabins, by John Spitzer—Sale of property of Sam uel Long, deed., on the Raystown Branch. Also, Fresh supply of Ready Made Cloth ing, by B. &W. Snare. Also, Rover's Ink Mannfa , !tory, Ind Sheriff': anti t The Difference Between the two Parties, &c. The last Glebe contains a long article on the above subject, which begins with our forefathers and ends with posterity. After chaun ting the praises of liberty and denouncing the usual curses against despo -68114.4 quotes the provision in the constitu-, tion for the rendition of fugitives from labor. It then speaks of the fugitive slave law lately passed by Congress for the purpose of more effectually carrying out the con stitutional provision for the delivery of runaway slaves to their masters, and says that the sustaining of this law "is tiro great question to be decided at the election in, October." It says that fanatics and abo litionists are dissatisfied with this law and arc agitating its repeal. As this press does not represent any party or parties bearing these names, we will not draw a halt, even to take an observation of this charge. But it says further that there is "a largo party in Pennsylvania that is op , posed to this law, and at the head of this party stands Governor Johnston." We have a few words to say ou this sentence, the Whig party is evidently referred to. Now, what parties passed this fugitive slave law, as well as the compromise meas ures generally? They were passed in Con gress by a very few southern Democrats, nearly all the southern Whigs a goodly number of northern Whigs and a majority of the northern Democrats probably.— Very eminent Whigs and very eminent Democrats voted for them; and very emi nent Whigs and very eminent Democrats voted against them, so that evidently they were not party questions. They were bit terly opposed both in the north and in the south, and they were ardently advocated both in the north and in the south. The southern Whigs are sustaining them, and if the Pennsylvania locofoces would quit the agitation of the subject, they would sel dom be talked about here; for the Whigs do not acknowledge them as part of the is sues of this campaign. They were approv ed by a Whig President, who was put where he is, by a majority of thirteen thousand of the people of Pennsylvania. They have been and still are, cursed and denounced by the hell-snuffers, fire-swallowers, volca no-vomiters and earthquake-rumblers of the South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas and Missis sippi Democracy. They are opposed by the Democratic freesoilers of Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Il linois, Wisconsin and lowa, and there are more Whigs this day sustaining them than Democrats—and yet they have the impu dence to say that they are the great issue of the campaign. The great Democratic Arch-Angel, Gen. Cass, whom the Globe daily worships, refused to vote for the fu gitive slave law, although he was in the Senate chamber at the time of its passage. Be dodged the vote and skulked in, among the freesoil democracy of Michigan. Gov. Johnston said in his Lancaster speech, that had he been in Congress at the time, he would not have voted for this fugitive slave law, but that it was now the law of the land, and all good citizens were bound to respect it as steel,. Ile believed however that if the people of the United States wished its modification in any par ' ticular, they had a clear right to do it, and to discuss it as much as they saw prop er, which is good republican doctrine. The Locofocos of Pennsylvania say now that the person who discusses this law, or be lieves it should be modified in some par ticular is a traitor to the Union. The Globe says that the election of Johnston will dishearten the patriots of the South, who are striving to keep down the spirit of disunion. The Southern Whigs are the nnion men; and we are now told that the election of a Whig will dishearten the Whigs. What nonsense ! The Whig State Convention resolved " that the ad justment measures should be faithfully ob served and respected by the Whigs."— Gov Johnston has never agitated the re peal of that law, but frankly gives his views in relation to its merits, while at the same time he exhorts obedience to it as the law of the land. A fugitive slave law of some kind is constitutional and proper and the only question is, as to the details of it.— The people of the north are willing that owners shall recover their slaves, but they have no disposition to be made blood hounds to ruu down or scent them out.— We would dislike very notch to be compell ed to join in the pursuit, but at the same time we would hold it to be highly criminal to throw a straw in the way of their legal recovery. But this whole subject is agitated by the Locofocos, to avert the attention of the honest people of Pennsylvania from the nilscleerls and plundering of their officers. They still wish to steal thousands from the public works, at►d throw the State into ir retrievable debt. They do not wish the people look at the splendid administration of Gov. Johnston, or inquire into the causes of the low prices of flour and grain. They do not want the people to know that Gov. Johnston has paid more than seven hundred thousand dollars of the State debt. The difference between the two parties is—that the Locofocos want to rob and plunder the people and the Whigs want to pay the State debt and dimininish the public taxes. J. Sewell Stewart next mounted the box, and while he was denouncing all who are opposed to disturbing the Compromise measures as "lying thieves," we were busi ly engaged counting the crowd &c.—Globe. It is humiliating to know that there are people in our neighborhood unable to speak the truth, or to represent an opponent fairly. We did not denounce the friends of the Compromise measures, never did, and never will, for being such. We said therd were more Whigs supporting the Compromise than Democrats, and that the Locofoco editors said, it was the only and great question of this campaign. We said these Locofoco editors "knew they were ly ing like theives" when they made such as sertions, and we are not yet prepared to retract it. We took occasion to say, that the people were robbed and plundered by the loeofoco officers—and that the ques tion before them now were, whether or not this plundering should cease, the State debt be paid, the public taxes diminished, and questions such as these connected with the domestic policy of the State. We stated that over seven hundred thousand dollars of the State debt had been paid during the administration of Gov. John ston. Ineen iary We have bee9inruished with the fol lowing account the burning of the barn of Robert Spool:, Esq., in Cassville in this county, on the night of Tuesday, the 9th inst., together with its contents:—The fire, evidently the work of an incendiary, was discovered at about 11 o'clock at night, at which time the barn and sheds adjoin- Ing were enveloped in flames, and all ef forts to save anything were unavailing. The barn contained 30 tons of hay, a large quantity of barley, wheat and eloverseek also, two windmills, wagon,. plows, &c., all of which were totally destroyed. A. large full blood Durham Dull, at the time fattening for exhibition at the State Fair, was also burned. The barn had been but recently re-built, and with its contents, including barley and cloverseed, was worth $2,000, at least. No insurance. This fire was followed the next night by an attempt to rob the store of Jas. M'll duff & Co., at Eagle Foundry, in which the robbers partially succeeded. Promotions. WILLIAM T. WILSON, who is engaged in this office, has received a commission as Aid to His Excellency, the Governor, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Wilson was a soldier in the Mexican war, in which he behaved with great bra very, and the compliment is therefore rich ly deserved, and, we have no doubt, fully appreciated. It also affords us pleasure to announce that JOUN A. DOYLE, Esq., the present gentlemanly and popular Treasurer of this • county, bus received a commission of the same kind, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Doyle was a Lieutenant in the Mexican war, where he performed the part of the brave soldier and the kind oil , con --•.• 4r-ro---- - Thomas P. Campbell Esq., was nominated by the Locofoco Conference at Hollidaysburg last week for the office of , President Judge of the 24th Judicial Dis trict. The candidates of both parties aro now fairly in the field. Both arc well known iu this county and the qualifications and social habite of his Honor Judge Tay lor, we aro sure will not suffer in compari son with those of his opponent. ^'r We were very much gratified to find that the editor of the Globe intends to read Illaciutone, in order to improve his morals, and got some knowledge lie should have had before this. It gave us great pleasure also to know that he in tends to peruse the Water-Cure Almanac, which will probably show him the necessity of taking away some of the dirt under his shirt collar. We would advise hum, in the midst of his literary and scientific re searches, to pay some attention to the four gospels, which might possibly be dries ; cious to wash some of the lamp-black from ; his soul. The Presbyterian Sunday School Cetehration The Presbyterian Sunday School of this place turned out, last Thursday afternoon consisting of teachers, scholars:, parents and friends and marched, with the Hun tingdon Brass Band at their bead, to the pine grove at the residence of John Mc- Callan Esq., about half a mile from the town. After the procession had arrived at the place appointed, and the audience seated in their sylvan retreat, a prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Haws. The school sang one of its delightful hymns, the notes of which fell softly and sweetly on the ear while bounding among the fo liage of the trees. The faces of the chil dren, teachers and spectators wore the smiles of happiness and we concluded that joy reigned in their hearts. The Rev. Mr. Haws and the Hon. George Taylor then addressed those present iu eloquent, neat and impressive speeches, showing the importance of Sunday Schools in a moral point of view, and the influence of the teachings of youth upon the fun grown man. Large trees were once little shrubs and great men were once little children and they showed the importance of com mencing early to make great men, good men. The moral impressions gained by a child in Sunday School, may abide with him through life,—be his " cloud by day and his pillar of fire by night." If he commence in the morning of life with the flush of moral beauty on his cheek, the evening will very likely, find him ruddy with the same celestial warmth. The baud played some of its miring airs after the speakers had concluded ; and then commenced the loading of the long table set out on the green, with meats prepared for the festive occasion, which were evi dently appeeiated by all partakers. We admire much the elegantly beautiful and joyous ; and this celebration filled our heart with happy feelings. We looked with great pleasure upon this happy scene, and were only sorry that the like did not occur oftener. County Auditor. John Reel, Esq., having declined being a candidate for the office of County Audi tor, the County Committee have named DAVID PARKER, of Warriorsmark, for that office. He is a correct, intelligent and worthy man, and we recommend him to the support of the wbigs of the county. Agricultural Fair. The days for the exhibition - of the Stnte Agricultural Society have been changed to the 29th 30th and 31st of October. It was found that our State Agricul tural Society and the Maryland Agricul tural Society had fixed upon the same days, which would have operated unfavorably to both; hence the change. Dom' GOY. JOFLNSTON will arrive here in the 4 o'clock train from Lewistown on Friday the 26thinst, but will not spook until after the arrival of the 5 o'clock train , from the west. We hope to coo a largo turn out of the people of all parties to hoar his views from himself. Ile will talk no honbug to his audience—but present to them the sledge-hammer thoughts of a great and honest intellect. Let no one stay at home who wishes to hoar a groat speech and see the strongest Governor Pennsylvania over bad. WHAT LANCASTER. WILL Do.—A corres pondent of the Daily News, writing from Lancaster, says You may confidently look for 6,500 to 7,000 majority for two, if not three, of the candidates on our Ju dicial ticket. This it not mere assertion, but will prove true, every word of it, on the day of the election. We do not wish you to understand us, in speaking of the prospects in this county, to say, that John ston will not have 6,500, because that de pends upon our opponents, but we do say he will have 5,000, for that depends up on the Whig party. We CAN and lvit.t give bin that if every Lotofoco in rte ,County is got out and votesfor BiTter," The Lancaster Union says the Whig majority in the Old Guard,' in October, will astonish the natives and throw Old Berks' into convulsions ! JOSHUA W. COMM We obs3rve that in a number of Whig papers the name of this gentleman who is one of the candidates for the Supreme Bench of this State, is printed incorrectly with A instead of W for the middle latter. Will our friends of the press be kind enough to draw attention to it by copying this paragraph ?—Danville Democrat. p. Slanderers are like flies that leap over all a nian's good parts, to light upon his soros, A Dreadful Riot--Loss of Life. A bloody riot took place on the 11th inst., at Christiana in Lancaster county.— An old Gentleman, named Gorsuch, his Son and some others went there for the purpose of arresting a fugitive slave, whom it was alleged belonged to Mr. Gorsuch. The blacks having received notice of the coming of the whites, gathered in consid- erablo numbers in the house the slave owner and his companions were expected to visit. The door was secured, and they retired to the upper part of the building. As the white party approached, they were warned off. A parley ensued, the master declaring his intention of having his slave, " Tho d. fr Id. A ao door was forcet, Torn was sounded, and a considerable company of blacks gathered. The negroes in the house made a rush down stairs, and crowded the whites out. " Another parley ensued. The blacks said they had rather die - than go into slavery. They also said they did not want to fire, yet if the whites fired on them, they were dead men. " Shortly afterwards, the nej er and son fired revolvers, wounding a number of blacks, but not seriously. The blacks returned the fire, instantly killing the father, and dangerously wounding the The whites having got the worst of it s retired. Some of the neighbors went to the relief of young Gorsuch, and had him conveyed to comfortable quarters, whore every attention was paid him, IA medical aid promptly sent for. The attending sur geon pronounced his wound mortal." The district attorney, Sheriff and other officers of Lancaster county, together with J. W. Ashmead, District attorney of the United States, Commissioner Ingraham, Marshall Roberts, part of the police force of Philadelphia and a detachment of U. S. Marines, repaired promptly to the scene of outrage, and commenced scouring the country, taking testimony and making ar rests. Two persons were committed for trditson and obstructing the execution of process, namely, Joseph Scarlet (white) and Win. Brown (colored.) Several are in the Lancaster jail for Riot and Murder. There were twenty three arrests, some of whom were discharged. Three white men have been arrested, to wit : Joseph Scarlet, SaMuel Kondig and James Hood. The prisoners not in the Lancaster jail, were conveyed to.Moyamensing attended by an immense crowd. The officers of Lancaster County and the United States officers from Philadelphia deserve great credit for their promptness in capturing the unholy offenders. Such stupendous outrages on law and order but seldom occur, and we are glad that Penn sylvania has vindicatad her law-loving character by promptly securing the perpe trators of the awful crime. Supreme Court U. S. We observe that the names of Dan'l Web ster and Rufus Choate are urged by their respective friends upon the consideration of the President, to fill the vacancy, oc casioned by the death of Levi Woodbury, in the Supreme Court of the United States. L Gov. JOHNSTON has already paid off more than half a million of the State Debt, 'Under his rule it will continue to be cancelled at the rate of a million a year, and that too without increasing the taxes of the community generally. UOL. 13101,En:on the other hand, has explicitly avowed himself in favor of an increase of the Debt. In a s speech re cantly delivered in Bradford county he said he was in favor of boftounng a mil , lion and a half to complete the North Brunch Canal. This would of course add that amount to the debt. It is for tho tax-payers to ohoose be tween those two candidates. The following eloquent tribute to the American coustitution and Union was pronounced by Gov. Johnston during his late visit to Piladelphia. It has been said that our Union is in danger. I admit that all earthly things, oven the most sublime and awe-inspiring, are destined to destruction and dissolution. " The cloud capp'd towers, the gorgeous pala ces. The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all that it inherit. shall dissolve, And, lifu an insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a wreck behind." Still may the patriot hope—aye fondly hope, that among the last wrecks of pas sion andtime, our glorious constitution and our glorious Union will remain a monument of the mercy and kindness of Heaven to wards mankind, Err" With a wife, her husband's faults should bo sacred. A woman forgets what is duo to herself when she condescends to that refuge of weakness—a female confi dant. A wife's bosom should be the tomb of her husband's failings, and his character far more valuable in.her estimation than his life. Are You Assessed I Every voter is required to be assessed ten days before the election, to be entitled to a vote. Let every Whig in Huntingdon County have himself assessed in proper time. Your country expects your service at this election. Let every Whig therefore have his armor on and his weapons in good order. DIED. On the 11th inst., in Lancaster city, MARTHA, wife of R. R.
