implanted, and deeply rooted and fixed, are the only security at this important crisis, this forming period in human life and human destiny. The hallowed influ ences of the fireside ; the vigils and teach ings, and prayers prompted by parental Siety and love, with the labours of the abbath-school instructor, are the most efficient safe guards and preservatives which can be cast around the child, the most potent means which can be employed for his safety. And who can form any estimate of the vast amount of vice, and of misery and degradation, its certain and bitter fruits, which have thus already been prevented?—or bow much more may yet be averted? How many, to refer only to a single vice, a single danger, and a single source of sorrow and suffering, have been saved from the miseries of a DRUNK ARD'S life, and the unimagined horrors of a drunkard's death? who can tell? And oh! if but one of those little boys may be saved by your teachings, and the power of that truth which you are patiently and prayerfully instilling into their minds, from that dreadful vice of intemperance, which, when it has once enthralled, seldom ever releases its enslaved and pitiable victim,— ay, only ONE of those little boys,—surely, surely, you will not have laboured in vain. As a scheme of benevolence, then, the disinterested and self-denying labours of those engaged in this effort for the moral insrtuction of childhood and youth, suffer no disparagement in comparison with those which embalm the memory of a Howard.— And it may safely be affirmed that the SABBATH SCHOOL stands unrivalled by any of the various enterprises of the present day, having for their aim, to bind up the broken heart; to wipe away the scalding tear ; to allevite the cares and sorrows of this mortal life ; and to smooth the rugged pathway .4' the forlorn and wretched to the peace and quiet of the tomb. And yet more than this, it is my deliberate and sol emn conviction, that our Sabbath school teachers, and others engaged in furthering the work of Sabbath school instruction, have done more, and are at this day doing more to perpetuate the liberties of this country, and to preserve our glorious union, than all the statesmen in the land. But the aim of the Sabbath school is still more lofty than to preserve the dear children it has in charge from the pain, and sorrow, and shame and misery of a vicious life ; and instead to make them OOOD CITI ZENS ; and prepare them to act well their parts in the several posts which providence shall here assign them. It looks beyond the limits of this moral life. And oh ! how does the office of the Sabbath school teach er swell in the magnitude of its impor tance, when the solemn truth so oft lost sight of and forgotten amid life's cares, pursuits, and pastimes, breaks in upon us, as if wispered by some warning, invisible spirit,— "It is not all of life to live, Nor all of death to die"!— when we look upon a - little child, and re flect that though there was a time which date, the origin of its existence, there is no i ~int in the illimitable future when it will cease to live!—when we view these children as IMMORTAL BEINGS, and the moral instruction which they receive in the Sabbath school, as tending to mould their character for eternity, and to direct and shape their everlasting destiny ! What more can I say to magnify the importance of the Sabbath school teacher's office and mission ? Here language fails ; and ima gination falters ! Mortals have no words to portray, finite conceptien cannot meas ure, eternal realities. -The other tenden cies of Sabbath school instruction which have been dwelt upon, vastly important as they evidently are, dwindle into mere inci dents, when• we view it in this its direct & all absorbing aim, and regard its teachers as co workers with the ministers of the everlas• ting gospel, in pointing and directing and beckoning on undying spirits to a blissful immortality. Such, my friends, is the enterprise in which you are engaged ; and which it is your desire, by this festival, to further.— Is it a vain wish ? Try it by a comparison with the achievements which absorb and crown the energies of the most gifted and fortunate of the busy multitude in this transient life. One toils on with unfr 3ing purpose to hoard and amass earth's glitter-, ing wealth ; and yet how soon will his pos sessions be reduced to those of the poor beggar that reposes in the lonely church yard by his side. Ambition exhausts the life of others, in a struggle and rivalry for distinction among men ; and what, to those who are most successfub will soon be the highest honor and the most dazzling fame ! And though monuments, when plaudits oannot reach and "sooth the dull cold ear of death," may say to the passing behol der, " Itere lies the great"! there will be enough in each surrounding memento to provoke the response— "laise marble l—wlisar.? Nothing hut &ord.' dust lies here!" of all our works, none will survive the tomb with us, but the GOOD which God may enable us to' de. But there ARE achievements which' will not perish with the mortal energies which , perform them. There are those who, when. they a rest from their labours, THEIR WORKS DO FOL— L , Ni THEM". There are chaplets which will grow brighter and fairer after every flow• cr of earth shall have faded, and every work of human pride and folly shall have moul dered away. There are those who, as the fruit' and the reward of their toil upon. earth, shall shine as the stars forever and ever—ln this great truth, the devoted sabbath school teacher has an incentive to labor ; and his promise of reward. - . - • • THE JOURNAL.

It is a very able one and will fully repay a careful perusal. call the attention of everybody to the advertisement of our esteemed friend, Henry Cort►probst. He is deserving of a very liberal share of the patronage of our citizens. (IThe friends of Mr. Campbell are endeavoring to make the impression that he will get thirty Whig votes at this box. We think we have as correct information on this subject as they possibly can have, and we now inform the people of this judi cial district that Judge Taylor will be the highest candidate in this election district. Let our friends not be deceived by this system of boasting to bolster up their ac tual weakness. JOHN TO A HRS. We authoritatively inform the editor of the Globe, that his insinuation, that John Marks, our candidate for Treasurer, will employ a deputy to do the business for him, is unqualifiedly false. Mr. Marks is as well qualified to fill that office as Mr. Miller. He is a correct and honest busi ness man, and has never suffered his own business to get ahead of him. We call on the Whigs to rally around him. Dont be deceived by malicious and false statements, published by locofocos for interested pur poses. Your candidate is entirely worthy of yeti!. support. [1.5 THE HOLLIDAYSBURG STANDARD is hereby informed that we tell no lies, and if we should be unwittingly led into a mis-statement at any time, we will prompt 'ly correct it, when discovered. Wo believe we have shown to the satisfaction of that print, that Col. Bigler said substantially when he voted for the jail closing act of '47 he did not know what he was doing.— It has not, at least, condescended to an swer the high authority which we adduced in support of our position. In relation to the matter in controversy between us, we still firmly believe, that we told the truth. It is a convenient, and the common resort of the ignorant and the debased, to ten an adversary that he lies, when unable to controvert his positions. Whenever our cause cannot be sustained by truth and righteousness, we are free to say that we will desert it. We love truth because of her beautiful proportions and heavenly en dowments, and sorry will we he, should any act of ours, contribute in the least, to deform her celestial figure. As this altercation, (judging from the Standard's last article), is likely: to close, Ice say to the editor, tvithod using toward him any ungentlemanly epithets, that we fully appreciate his kind hope,—that "the angel of truth may take pity on us, bofore we tumble off that ladder the foot of which is located in a rather warm climate, and are irretrievably lost." It affords us pleasure however to inform him l that our footsteps are directed up that other ladder, the top of which is hitched in heaven ; up, down and arround which, the angel of truth ascends, descends and hovers without fear or distrust ; her face glowing with the brightness of the empyrean world; her, robes whiter than the fleecy cloud and light er than the ambient ether; and her wings tin ted with the golden rays which flash from thetemple otthe city of life. We hope the editor ill occasionally direct his thoughts from the mud-puddles and quag mires of this dirty earth, to the brilliant home of the blest, where images of truth and beauty may be faintly figured in his imagination, and thus tend in some hiiper feet degree to molify his soul, polish his heart and sweeten his tongue. (r.r During. the latter part of last week, we paid a visit to the cove in Blair Coun ty, and were gratified with the political prospects in that quarter. We discovered, that the loc ofoco watch-cry of slavery and death, had failed to disturb the aqua= nimity of that honest and industrious peo ple. We observed the same in our short journey through our own county. Every person who spoke of politics was exulting at the prospect of the ultimate payment of the State Debt and the probability of di minishing the public taxes. We found several democrats, who would vote for Gov. Johnston on account of the masterly manner in which be has regulated the peo ple's money. They are very tired paying big taxes, and it is refreshing to observe a glimmer of relief. We were present at a Whig meeting in Williamsburg on Friday evening at the house of Maj. Shull, which was addressed successively by E. Hammond, D. Hofius and S. Calvin Esq'rs., in able and impres sive speeches. We had the pleasure of ta king by the hand, that steady, reliable and efficient Whig editor, John Penn Jones of the Register, who was present on the occasion. Our candidate for the legislature from Blair County, Seth R. McCune Esq., was also present, with his rosy health and good heart. He informed us that he would be in Huntingdon on Friday evening to bear Gov. Johnston, when he will be pleas ed to exchange congratulations with his many friends of this county. • Whigs of Huntingdon County,—we have bright prospects before us, if we do our duty at the election. Let no one falter. See how they Trip Theibselnes. One of the clearest proofs that the Lo cofocos are falsifying about the public debt is, that their different statements contra dict each other. The Gettysburg Compiler of the Bth inst., in one column contained an extract from one of Mr. Snowden's recent letters, as serting that Gov. Johnston had, in two years, paid $158,874 58 of the public debt, and in another, contained an article from the Hollidaysburg Standard, stating that " Gov. Johnston has not paid one cent of the State debt, neither have his friends made any particular effort to do so."— ' Here is a direct contradiction—one asser ting that he paid $158,000, and the other asserting that he had not paid one cent, and did not try to pay any ! Whoever can be deceived by such lying, ought to be a Locofoeo. GOV, JOHNSTON WILL BE Ochivhb here, by a Com mittee appointed for the pnrpose, when the Eastern Train arrives on Friday evening. Lig — After the trial, conviction and sen tence of Alex. Hutchison, some ReVerend and other gentlemen about Hollidaysburg believed that he was too weak in mind to he amenable to the highest penalty of the law. They first asked the Governor to pardon him, and failing in that, his case was laid before the Legislature. Au act passed the lower house to commute his sentence to imprisonment for life, and was sent to the Senate for action in that branch, tut *as not reached for want of time, be fore the adjournment. As the legislature has interfered in the matter, Gov. John ston has deferred issuing the death war rant until that body has finished its action in relation Ao the subject. Whigs and Factiousness, We have observed that all factious op; position, to regular Whig tickets in this county, is made by persons who have been recipients of party favor. When they were before the people, it was terrible trea son to oppose any one on the ticket, but when they have grown so fat in office that the grease is streaming down their cheeks, it appears to break their hearts to see a drop of oil poured on the head of any of their neighbors and old supporters. It cannot possibly be true that theie is some thing in holding office calculated to brutify the oCcupant, and yet, as soon as he is out of place; his bowels of commpassion cease to yelirn toviards his old friends. W 6 have seen these party irregularities fall with terrible vengence on the heads of those who were guilty of them. We have seen Whigs labor to dcfcat part of a ticket, and when they wanted any thing thenf selves afterwards they were repaid With compound interest and compound ven geance. Let the Whigs hang together like brothers, and look over minor faults, to vindicate the great principles of from's ty and liberty which we profess. It We have been presented with some white egg plums grown the yard of Mr. William Dorris of this borough.— Two of them, each measured 71 inches one way and 61 the other, and a third 7 by 61 inches. Five weighed 161 ounces. We would like to see them beaten; who can do it? how it Works. When the Locofocos passed the Tariff of 1846, they said it would benefit the Far filer by increasing the price of grain, and giving him a new market in England. The tariff of 1846 was passed. The Farmer has his boasted market, and what are the prices of grain 1 The Ledger of the 27th ult., gives the following, as the prices in New York " Amt.—There waS less' doing in Flour to-day but the market for Ohio and Michigan is firm. Sales of good barrels at $3 811 to $4, for Michigan—s 3 871 to $4, for Ohio, and $4 12/ for prime Ten nessee." Wheat is quoted : " Sales of 2,500 bushels red Ohio, at about 84 cents, and 800 bushels Chicago 60 cents." Wheat from 60 to 80 cents a bushel ! Excellent markets! Admirable Free-trade! How rich our Farmers will become ! How prosperous in all their ways ! Thus it always is with Locofoco promises.—Bro ken almost as soon as made. So it Goes ! The Pacific Steam-ship which arrived at New York, on Saturday last, from Eng land, brought the following item of news : Breadstuffs are greatly depressed, and difficulty experienced in making sales.— Flour declined 6d. a ls., and Wheat id. a2d. Corn is in limited demand and low er." Glorious that for the Farmers ! WHERE IS THJ TARIFF OF 18161 SOUND THE TRUMPET ! Pour forth a loud, but doleful strain ! ! LIGHT WATCH FIRES on every hill !! ! The enemy is not only coming, but he is HERE; he is on his way ; he is in countless numbers all around us ! Let the alarm cannon thun der from every mountain top ! •'O, that my power bore any proportion to my zeal !" " The spirit of our Fathers" should start from every man, and rise from every field. The British Tariff is hurrying us down, DOWN, DOWN the broad way to Ruin with railroad speed. Like a highway robber it is stealing away our Gold ! Like a swind ler it is cajoling us out of our watch, with smiles under false' pretences: Like a mil lion of leeches, or the horrible bat of the Indies, it is drinking up our life-blood. [Wilkcsharre .idvocate. Irr The Grand Lodge of the I. 0. of 0. F. is in session in Baltimore. An amendment to their constitution was adopt ed, which fixes the representative fee at $5O instead of $2O as heretofore. Provis ions were adopted, requiring that all candi dates for Grand Sire shall be members of some subordinate Encampment ; that a majority of the representatives in the Grand Lodge shall form a quorum, al though the Lodge Is allowed to organize so far as to receive credentials without a quo ruin being present; and that the * proceeds of the sales of books, cards, diplomas, cer-• tificates, &c., should be a source of reve nue to the Grand Lodge. Let the People Remember. That the Locofoco party created our enor mous State Debt of over Forty Millions of Dollars. LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER That Gov. Johnston has paid in the two years and a half since lie was inaugurated six hundred and fifty-nine thousand, one hundred and twenty-two dollars and ninety-eight cents, (659,122 98) of the funded part of this Locofoco Debt ! ! LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER That every Tax now borne by them was imposed under thi Administration of a Locofoco Governor. • ! LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER That previous Locofoco Administrations collected these Taxes, but did not pay the Debt. AND LET THE PEOPLE RVMEMBER That without increasing the burthens of the laboring and producing classses of the community, Gov. Johnston has in two years and a half reduced the claims upon the Public Treasury over SEVEN HUN DRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND' DOLLARS! Proclamation by the GOvernor. Gov. Johnston having received informa tion that some of the rioters at Christiana are still at large, has issued the following proclataation.• The Governor in this, as in every Other . act of his official career, exhibits an invincible' determination to maintain the supremacy Of . the laws, and to vindicate the of justice PROCLAMATION, In and by the authority of the Coinnuln wealth of Pennsylvania, I; WILLIAM F. JOIINSTON;Governor of said Cora-; monwealth; do hereby issue this PROCLAMATION.' WHEREAS, it has been represented . to me that a flagrant violation of the public peace has occurred in Lancaster, county, involving the murder of Edwa'rd Gorsuch, and seriously endangering the lives of oth er persons ; and whereas, it has been rep resented to me that some of the participa tors in this outrage are yet at large ; now, therefore, by virtue of the authority in me vested by the Constitution and laws. I, WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON, Governor of Pennsylvania, do hereby offer a reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of the murder and violation of the public peace, as aforesaid. Tn'testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the great seal of the State this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one. Attest :—A. L. RUSSELL, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Specie for Europe. A New York letter of IVednesday,. " The quantity of specie shipped by the Asia to-day, is enormously large, and as such, justifies the reports yesterday, that near a million would be sent. The exact amount was $995 896. " The Atlantic, which leaves here on Saturday, it is believed,•will carry out half a million, at least, and the City of ' Glasgow, from Philadelphia, it is said, will have about $225,000 on board." So it goes ! A million and three quar ters of dollars in hard specie—California gold—sent off to Europe from two of our sea ports in a single week to pay for British coal, cloth, calico, cutlery, iron, and French silks, porcelain, and other gim crackery, while our domestic industry is languishing, and agricultural produce is down to the lowest figure. A beautiful exhibition of the operations of the Looofo co Tariff of 1846, which is draining our country of money ; filling it with foreign merchandise ; running us rapidly in debt to Europe, and leaving our grain and flour almost a dead weight upon the farmers' hands, because England will not buy it, having raised enough to feed herself, and our home market is destroyed by the prostration of our iron works and facto ries. Will not the people look to these' things at the next election? Give us a good Protective Tariff; and we will keep our specie at home, give the farmers a mar ket at home; make our own clothes at home ; support our home labor, and make home prosperous and happy.—York Re publican. [rr The Difference between the Testi mony of a Sworn Officer and Unscrupu lous Editors.—The Locofocos call Gov. Johnston's Sinking Fund a 'humbug, and a 'cheat.' It has paid over HALF A MILLION of the State debt, and will pay more be fore the fiscal year expires. Gen. Bickel, the opposition State Treasurer, who is competent to judge, says the Sinking Fund Act is a "WISE AND SALUTARY EN ACTMENT," and that if undisturbed, IT WILL PAY THE STATE DEBT.— Mr. Bigler, and the Looofoco press gener ally, have taken ground ages nst this Sink ing Fund. Those opposed to its repeal will do well to reflect long before they vote against Governor Johnston. 117' The rebuilding of the Freeport Aqueduct in 1848 cost $44,115. Of this Locofoco officers on the work stole about slo,ooo—only one fourth of the entire amount ! Honest, economical Locofocos, how burthennd, tax-payers hymn your praises when they hear of your robbery of the Treasury! ft The Locofocoe dehounce Governor Johnston as an Abolitionist, and Factionist, and proclaim that his eleCtion will be an Abolition and sectidnal triumph; • At the moment they utter this libel, William Big ler is receiving assurances that David Wil mot will support him for the office of Gov ernor! Could impudence and reckless ness lead men further than they are lead ing the Looofocos ? DIEM—In Alexandria, on Sunday the 21st inst., Mrs, Henry Fockler, in the 30th year of her age. Pamphlet Laws.
