soon as the result is known. Printers re
quire a little rest sometimes as well as

“ UP GUARDS ! AND AT MN !”
_ _ _
In five days from this time the election
will take place, and this is the last oppor
tunity we will have to say a word to our
frends upon the subject. The intervening
time is shot t, but it is long enough to secure
a Whig victory, if our friends will go right
to work. In order to secure a full Whig
vote, the following things are indipensable:
let. A POLL LIST. It is ono half the
battle to know the exact strength which
Can be brought into the field.
2nd. ACTIVE MEN AT EACH POLL.
The Locofocos are never deficient in this
particular; nor are they over-scrupulous
in the discharge of the duty which the po
sition imposes. All that Whigs ask is
FAIR PLAY.
3d. VOLUNTEERS WITH TEAMS
to go out after delinquents. This is the
most important duty of all. Challengers and
ticket distributors cannot leave the polls.
After 12 o'clock, there should be a DOZ
EN MEN at every poll ready to go after
delinquent neighbors. A strict attention
to this important duty will save the State
beyond a peradventure. FELLOW Whigs!
give one day to your country.
4th. NO SCRATCHING Every man
whose name is on the ticket deserves the
support of every Whig in the county. The
defeat of one man will be claimed as a
Locofoco triumph, and be heralded as such
throughout the State. Vote the WHOLE
TICKET.
sth. GO TO THE POLLS EARLY.—
Whenever we have a great deal of work to
do, and but little time to do it in, we be
gin early and work with vigor. Tho job
to be begun and finished on the 14th of
October is of vast magnitude and importance.
Commence it with the s,n and KEEP AT
IT ALL DAY.
6th. BEWARE OF SPLIT TICKETS.
Read your votes before you put them in
the ballot-box. It is a trick of the Loco
feces to smuggle in Locofooo votes under
Whig captions.
7th. Finally, ALL PULL TOGETH
ER. If every Whig will do his duty,
OUR WHOLE TICKET WILL BE
ELECTED.
9 1
Beware of Packed Tickets
We ask every voter in the county to
examine and read his ticket before he puts
it in the ballot box. It will be recollect
ed that in 1845 Jacob Miller receved ev
ery vote polled in Cromwell township ex
cept one, and that nearly all the whigs in
the township claimed that one vote. Ho
was then running for Register and Re
corder. The same gentleman is now the
Locofoco condidate for Treasurer, and we
hope that no whig will vote for him under
the impression that he is voting for the
Whig condidate, John Marks. Let every
whig in the county examine his ticket, and
see that he is not imposed upon.
The Locofocos aro distributing tickets
for Associate Judges containing the names
of Jonathan McWilliams and Thomas F.
Stewart, which latter gentleman is one of
the Locofoco candidates. It is expected
by this guerillaism to get the Whit■ to loose
sight of Henry Brewster, and run in the
Locofoco in his stead. Whigs—remember
that your ticket for Associate Judges con
tains the names of JONATHAN WWII,
LIAMS and HENRY BREWSTER. Fair play
and no gouging !
monEsT
There is a Locofoco tavern keeper in a
little village about ten miles east of this
place, who holds the situation of "mud
boss" on the Canal. It is said that this
fellow places the name of his hostler upon
the cheek-roll, and, as regular as pay-day
comes, draws the amount of 90 cents per
day for the services of a man who never
worked an hour on the canal, and to whom
ho pays the sum of five dollars per month.
Tax-payers of Huntingdon county turn out
on Tuesday next, and teach the men who
squander your money upon such rascals
that they cannot rob you with impunity.
SPURIOUS TICKETS !
C, 7 ' Friends ! Be on your guard against
any and all deceptions of the kind. They
tire practised every year. They will be
this. Tickets will be in circulation with
s eine 'Whig name omitted, and that of a
Locofoco substituted. Keep a sharp look
out for them, and see that no man is impo
sed upon by film.
11?" The examination at Lancaster, of
the persons charged with having been con
cerned in the Christiana murder, has re
salted in sending eleven of the number to
Philadelphia to stand their trial for treason
against the , United States. The remain
der of those in custody were released.
" young Men for Action V,
In a political campaign young men are
always the most active, zealous and wil
ling. In fact, the hard work of the cam
paign generally falls upon them ; for in
politics, as well as everything else, the cry
is " whip Barney for he will pull." If
we felt certain that every poll in the
State would be be attended all day by ten
active, efficient young men, we would
not give a farthing to be assured of twenty
five thousand majority for " Old Bill."
Young men of Old Huntingdon, go to the
polls early and do not go home until you are
satisfied, that every whig in your district
has voted. Do this, and our majority will
be seven hundred.
EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS
Whigs be on your guard on the election
day. EXAMINE YOUR TICKETS be
fore voting, and see that you have nothing
but the WHOLE WHIG Ticket. We
have heard of Whigs voting for Locofoco
candidates before now without being a
ware of it. Every voter should examine
his ticket before depositing it. In these
days deception is sometimes practiced by
those who profess to be friendly to the
whole Ticket. Look out for "wolves in
sheep's clothing."
LOOK OUT FOR THE GLOBE I
We have no doubt it will be filled with
falsehoods, printed in large type, to de
ceive the people, for they know that we
will not have an opportunity to contradict
them before the election. Their party
have already resorted to FORGERY, and
Heaven only knows where men who are so
base as to be guilty of that CRIME will
stop. Be on your guard.
10 — We tell the editor of the Globe
that Mr. Campbell will not have 75 votes
over Judge Taylor at this box, and will bet
him a gill of big potatos that he will not
have half that number. Mark that. You
can send the potatos round when it is
known that Bill Johnston is elected Gov-
ernor.
A number of colored gentlemen were in
town on Friday last to hear Gov. John
ston's speech.—Globe.
Well, 'spose that's true, Mr. Globe; for
our devil says he heard some fellows hol
lowing "hurrah for Bigler," as the proces
sion passed through the streets, and even
while Gov. Johnston was speaking. Of
course no white man would be guilty of
such conduct.
LOOK OUT FOR FRAUDS!
LOOK OUT FOR FRAUDS !
The Locofocos are colonizing illegal
voters on the public works, and in their
desperation are trying to carry the Elec
tion by illegal voters. Whigs ! pre
vent these Frauds, bring out the Whig
vote and VICTORY will assuredly be
ours.
Vote the Whole Ticket
DO NOT STRIKE OFF A SINGLE
NAME•—The men placed on your ticket
have all been fairly nominated, and have
a claim upon your support. Sacrifice for
once the prejudices, the partialities that
may govern you. Give up your own pri
vate wishes for the good of all, and VOTE
THE WHOLE TICKET. The success
of the principles of party imperiously
requires this course.
Take Your Teams With You!
Every good Whig who has a team
should take it with him to the polls. It
would be a pity to lose a vote because no
team could be found to send after it. Af
ter you have voted, be ready to labor in
bringing out other voters. Do your part
towards bringing delinquents and so se
curing a ruLL vote, that you may go home
certain to hear of a WHIG VICTORY.
STAY AT THE POLLS !
There are too many who think they
have discharged their whole duty when
they have deposited their vote. The result
usually is that the hard work at the polls
is thrown upon the shoulders of a few men.
This is not right. After voting, every
elector should ascertain whether his neigh
bor has voted, and if not, GO AFTER
HIM. If every Whig who feels an inter
est in the result of the coming election
would do what it is his duty to do, the re
, suit would bo just what he would have it
to be.
What's the Price of Grain 1
When the Tariff of 1846 was en
acted, the Loeofooos promised the Farmers
good prices for their grain. Those good
prices have not come, and grain is lower
at this moment than it has been for years
before ! The Locofocos still ask Farmers
Ito support their men and their measures.
Importance of One Vote.
We cannot too frequently urge upon our
Whig friends the importance of voting at
the next election. In many instances, a
single vote has decided important quo:is
tions, and one vote may elect or defeat
Gov. Johnston, and other candidates on
the ticket. Whigs too often neglect the
duty of voting, and suffer themselves to be
beaten simply by staying at home. In
view of the important issues involved in
this contest, we hope every man who claims
fellowship with the whig party, in Hunting
don county, will attend the election and
poll his vote for the WHOLE WHIG
TICKET. Remember that "a full vote is
a whig victory."
A Full Whig Vote,
We hope our Whig friends in this coun
ty will adopt measures to secure a FULL
vary in every election district. Let not
a single Whig voter he overlooked—see
that all arc on the ground on the day of
the election, and that every Whig vote is
polled. Let nothing keep you at home.—
Should it rain, turn out like TRUE MEN
and brave the " peltings of the pitiless
storm." The issues involved are of im
mense importance—the country calls upon
every patriot to de his duty, and shame
to him who falters ! Let all go to work
with cheerful hearts and a fixed determi
nation to get out a FULL WIRG VOTE.
The Difference,
When we had Locofoco Governors, the
whole cry was "money ! money ! Increase
the debt and the taxes !" And they did
run up the debt and pile one, two, and
three mills State tax on the people. With
a Whig Governor the cry is "Reduce the
State debt and also reduce the taxes," and
the State debt has been reduced, upwards
of $650,000 in two years and if JOHNSTON
is re-elected in one year one-third of the
present State tax will be removed also.—
If BIGLER is elected, you bring in a horde
of greedy cormorants who will have the
present Sinking Fund Bill repealed if iheY
can, in order to increase the plunder.—
They would soon swallow up millions of
the people's money, after three years star
vation.
FIRE.
On Monday night of this week, the sta
ble on the back part of the lot on the cor
ner of Allegheny and Bath steets, in this
borough, and formerly owned and occupi
ed by Alex. Owin, Esq., deo'd. caught
fire and was totally consumed. No fur
ther injury done. The cause of the fire
is not known.
[I - The Irish at, and in the vicinity
of Altoona, Blair County, were fighting
amongst themselves for several days last
week. The Sheriff and military were on
the ground for two or thre days. A large
number of the brave boys were arrested
and lodged in jail. These fellows should
be taught that, although this is a land of
liberty, they have not the liberty to vio
late our laws and endanger the lives and
property of our citizens by such disgrace
ful conduct.
Accident to Col. Bigler.
An accident of a rather serious charac
ter happened to Col. Bigler, and some five
or six others with him, on Friday morn
ing last, whilst on the way from Carlisle
to Hanover, a few miles beyond Peters
burg. In descending a bill one of the
lead horses attached to the vehicle kicked
the pole to pieces, when the carriage be
came unmanageable and upset, but for
tunately injuring none of the party seri
ously. The Colonel escaped with a slight
bruise or two. Ono of the horses was
much hurt, and the vehicle completely
wrecked. Some other mode of convey
ance was immediately provided, and the
Colonel arrived at Hanover in good time.
Copiler.
A friend at our elbow wonders
where Gov. JOHNSTON could have been
when Mr. Bigler's carriage broke clown,
and suggests that the Locofocos hold him
responsible for the accident, at any rate!
The Locofocos seem to think our worthy
Governor is gifted with miraculous power
in creating or preventing riots, murders,
and accidents—and if so, he certainly
should have prevented these horses from
kicking the pole to pieces "'—Gettysburg
Star.
C7' The New Castle Gazette cf Sept.
25, says :
Lawrence County CAN and WILL
give thirteen hundred majority for William
F. Johnston Mark it!"
From the entire West we have cheering
accounts. They will do much better than
at the Governor's election in 1848. Who
will lie on his oars, when Western Whigs
are at work, determined to achieve a glori
ous Whig victory
FORGERY !! !
BEWARE! BEWARE! ! BEWARE! ! !
We have in our hands a Locofoco FOR
GERY of the Proclamation, which the
GoVerner was required by law to issue re
lative to the payment of the Public Debt.
The forged dociumeiat is pfinted in offical
form, and is likely to deceive at the first
glance. Inspection of its contents, how
ever, speedily shows that it is a base for
gery, concocted and executed by men who
are more fit for the cells of a Jail, than
the society of honest men.
This forged Proclamation is dated, as
the official Proclamation is, the fifth day of
September, although it has been printed
within the last ten days, and contains the
following assertions : That llitner increas
ed the State Debt, $15,029,047 19' !
That Gov. Shunk paid $511,656 29 of the
Debt ! ! That Gov. Johnston paid only
$158,394 49 !! ! That Gov. Johnston in
his term, approved an act borrowing $4 -
480,000 !! ! ! &c. No paper in the State
has had the audacity to publish the infa
mously false statements which are contain
ed in the above Proclamation.—Every one
of these assertions is a bald, bold lie with
which desperate and unscrupulous Locofo
cos on the eve of the Election seek to de
ceive the People.
BELIEVE NONE OF THEM. Loco
foco leaders see' defeat staring them in the
face and they would make oath to false
hoods rather than loose their hold on the
Public Treasury ! Standfast ! dome to
the Poll in solid array ! Vote the Whig
ticket ! and enter your disapproval of the
policy of the Locofoco plundering, debt
creating, party of the State ! ! These men
die hard. They clench the Public Funds
with desperation, and will never stop their
thieving until an indignant People drive
them from their seats ! !—Daily dimerican.
Rear William Bigler is in Favor
of snaking more Loans:
Our readers will remember that we
charged William Bigler with publicly de
claring in his speech at Towanda, Brad
ford County, on the 15th of August, that
he was in favor of BOAROWINGt MON.
EY to complete the North Branch Canal.
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DENIED ! ! !
On the contrary, we have before us a
Looofoco admission that William Bigler
did declare he was in favor of making
A LOAN
to complete the Canal,
The Bradford Reporter—a Bigler pa
,per—of the 27th of September contains
the following
g 4 Col. Bigler, in his speech at this place,
as ho has uniformly done, advocated the
speedy completion of the North Branch
as a matter of justice to the North and of
sound policy to the Commonwealth. To
effect this desirable object he was not wil
ling to couple it with some shinplaster
hobby, but was content it should stand
upon its own merits. The money must
be had to finish it, and the straightforward
WAY WAS TO BORROW THE
MEANS, and complete the Canal as soon
as possible, trusting to it as a source of rev
enue to repay the amount loaned."
We don't object to the completion of
the Canal. We do object to borrowing
money for that purpose. Our debt is al
ready over FORTY MILLIONS of dol
lars. Our taxes are already as heavy as
our people are willing to bear. William
Bigler has anounced OPENLY IN A
PUBLIC SPEECH, that he is in . favor of
making more debt, and of course, more
Taxes. He dare not make that declara
tion in this section of the State. He never
alludes to the question in hid speeches
here. But above we publish the admis
sion of one of his party friends that Mr.
Bigler did avow his willingness to
INCREaSE THE ST./ITE DEBT
to finish this Canal. Remember this,
Tax-payers.
What the Locofocos think of it.
The last Looofoco State Address says
that this election should purge the de
partmeut of State of those who now mis
manage and misrepresent all our great in
terests."
Gov. Johnston has paid $732,236 95!
of the Public Debt, of which $859,122 98
consist of the stooks of the Commonwealth,
upon which the State paid an annual in
terest of five per cent ! This the Locofo
cos call mismanagement." Do you hear
that, Tax payers ! Locofooos denouncing
payment of the State debt as misman
agement !" Remember this !
MARYLAND ELEOTION.—The late elec
tion in Maryland has resulted in the elec
tion of four Whigs and two Democrats to
Congress, being a Whig gain of one mem
ber,
CALIFORNIA ALL RIGHT!
John Bigler Laid Out ! !
We clip the following Item from the
news brought by the steamship Prome
theus, which arrived at New York on the
4th inst : If this be true, and we have
no doubt it is, the Whigs of California have
done nobly, and we welcome our young
sister into the old Whig line of the Union.
The news from California does not pos
sess much interest. The election seems to
have absorbed everything else. The re
turns, as far as received, though in the
main imperfect, from the counties of San
Francisco, Sacramento, Yolo, Nevada, El
Dorado, Solano, Marin, Tuolumne, San
Joaquin, Calaveras, and Santa Clara, give
Pearse B. Reading, (Whig,) a majority
over John Bigler, (Dem.,) of about 1000,
and the balance of the State ticket from
600 to 800. The counties of Mendocino,
Napa, Klamath, Trinity, Shasta, Los An
geles, San Lnis Obisbo, Santa Barbara and
Santa Cruz will give Reading at least
5000 majority. This puts his election be
yound the possibillity of a doubt; and the
same vote will elect the most of the State
ticket.
$659,122 98!
The following certificate from the Sec:
retary of State, Auditor General, and State
Treasurer, will show conclusively what
the Sinking Fund Ant of 1849 will do if

the economy of Gov. Johnston's adminiti.
tration, refer them to the fact that the ex
penses of the government have been in
creased for the last two years $83,249 45.
Investigator.
Yes, the expenses have been increased
by extravagant Locofoco legislatures; yet
in spite of this Gov. Johnston has mana
ged to pay off $059,122 OS of the State
debt. How much more ho would have
paid with a Whig Legislature to aid him,
instead of a Locofoco Legislature to ent
lbarrass him, can hardly be reckoned.—
