fr.f" We call attention to the advertise
ments in to-day's Journal. Bargains are
always to be had from those who advertise.
11C,, Our neighbor of the Globe has been
regaling his reader?, since the nomination
of Gen. Scott, with lists of persons who
have bolted the nomination. Wo hope
none of our readers who may see that pa
per will be green enough to believe the
accounts there given. Some Georgia Whigs
who sometime ago attached themselves to
the Union party, it is true, have not some
back to the fold; but they were not expect
ed back, although recent events indicate
that they may return strong enough to car
ry the State for Gen.'Scott. There is some
considerable rejoicing over the conversion
of Col. Mcßaig, of Maryland—a man who
was so unpopular that when he was nomi
nated by the Whigs for Congress, he was
defeated in a Whig district. They are
welcome to such fogies. The Whig party
is as nearly solid for Scott, except in Geor
gia, as it ever was for any candidate. But
in addition to this great force, there are
droves of Democrats who are wheeling into
his support every day. A gentleman in
Ohio says that he knows ninety-six such
persons in his own county. The same
thing is true to a greater or less extent, in
every section of the Union. The very few
Persons that have bolted from us are old
political rats, but the bolters from them
are the honest rank and tile of the Amer
ican people.
lt?" The Chippewa Club met pursuant
to appointment at Captain Cannon's on
last Saturday evening. ‘Ve expected Geo.
A. Coffey, Esq., of Hollidaysburg, to ad
dress the Club but unfortunately his ser
vices had been previously secured for a
meeting, at the same time, at Tyrone City,
in his own county. Nevertheless the ball
went on. Music and transparencies wore
out in full force, and speeches were made
by John Williamson and J. Sowell Stew-
Col. S. S. Wharton.
We notice, from an article in the last
Huntingdon Journal,that an effort is ma
king to produce discord in our ranks, by
the introduction of a volunteer candidate
for the Legislatnte, who, we presume, is
intended to interfere with the election of
the gentleman whose name heads this arti
cle. We give our hearty asst to the
course pursued by Mr. STEWART, the edi
tor of the "Journal," and hope he will
always maintain the same decided and man
ly stand. , He is fearless, and deserves the
approbation of his party, for repudiating,
and nipping in the bud, the efforts of ,a
few, to disorganize on the Legislative
ticket.
COL WHARTON has always been a
Whig, and the early organization of the
party in "Old Huntingdon" is much in
debted to his efforts. He battled manful
ly and faithfully for twenty years in order
to secure the establishment and permanen
cy of those principles which are lieu and
beloved by every man who feels that Whig
measures are calculated for the .general
good. His liberality is known and appre
ciated by his neighbors. To the poor, to
seminaries of education; in a Word, when
ever and wherever his generosity could be
displayed he was never found backward in
generous and kind acts; and withal, is a
man who will be attentive to his business,
and watch with care the interesets of the
people. Neither is Col. WitAwroN bigot
ed in his views, but pursues that liberal
and courteous manner which always makes
him friends.
We feel as much satisfaction in render
ing him our support as any other man who
could have been placed iu nomination by
the Whigs of Huntingdon Co., and will
give it to the best of our humble ability.
The Whigs of Blair, we are satisfied, will
render him an unanimous and hearty sup
port, and assist in rolling up one of the
largest majorities ever received by any
man in the district. His enemies might as
well cease, as the independent and united
Whigs of the district, will pull down all
opposition by giving our worthy friend
WHARTON a triumphant election.—Blair
County Whig.
Parson Brownlow on Pierce.
Tho eccentric and erratic Parson Brown
low has been quoted by the Locofocos as
authority against Gen. Scott. We will
now quote what he says of Gen. Pierce:
"When •it (the Pension of 41) was
sent to the Senate it was opposed by the
'strict constructionists," mind the cool
blooded Yankee, who now spires to the
Presidency."
"When Gen. Pierce was first elected to
Congress from his own State, he was a
“drag" upon his party. It was in 1833,
when the General Ticket system prevailed
in New Hampshire, Pierce fell more than
three thousand rotes below the average
vote of his party, and if the parties would
have been anything like divided, ho would
have becu shamefully beaten."
"Much may be known of the man by
the company ho keeps. Pierce is on the
most intimate terms with Prince John
Van Buren, and is as ho ever has been the
fast friend of Old Grimalkin of Kinder
hook, whom ho styles "A. TRULY PURE
AND GREAT MAN!' "
We cannot support such a man, until
principles with us become obsolete."
If Brownlct,w's opinion of one candidate
is worthy of attention, so is•bis opinion of
the other. And as the Locofocos com
menced by printing one, will they also
print the other?
What are the Whigs fighting for!
We came across the above in an ex
change. It is so eays to satisfy the quo
rist, that we cannot refrain from doing so.
Perhaps it will refocus him. There's
'much truth in theline "While the lamp
holds out to burn," &c. Well, sir, the
Whigs are fighting for the man who has
been fighting for his country snore than
forty years—for river improvements—for
harbor improvements—for American in
dustry—for the development of the re
sources of the country—for the elevation
of our people, socially, intellectually and
religiously for the perpetuation of the
Union and the liberties of our happy land
--for all the vast and varied interests of
our country, which wo desire shall be
placed on a stable and prosperous founda
tion—for true men and tried iv - riots—in
fine, for ScoTT, GRAHAM, OUR COUNTRY
and Vicroitv!—That's what wo are fight
ing for. Are not the prizes valuable be
yond comparison, and worth any struggle
to secure thorn! They are—and they
shall be seoured.—.Y. 0. Bulletin.
The Difference.
An exchange, in noticing the difficulty
experienced by the Opposition in proving
that General Pierce distinguished him
self in Mexico, that fact being so much
involved in doubt and obscurity, very just
ly remarks that the Whigs have no troub
le of the kind. Gen. Scott's military
fame is no more in need of proof than the
existence of the Mississippi river; and no
more to be missed or overlooked than the.
Alps by a traveler in Switzerland. Gen.
Pierce's glory, on the other hand, already
lies buried under the common rubbish of
the Mexican campaign, and his friends
have to root it out; like pigs hunting for
acorns.

system of management, to the rent proposed
to be paid to the Commonwealth; as, it is
not likely, that they would be willing to
encounter the risk. and furnish the heavy
capital, required for their successful oper
ation, without receiving a corresponding
benefit. It is for them to satisfy the pub
lie in respect to the extraordinary discre
pancy between the annual amount accent'-
, ted for to the State in their capacity of
public agents, and that offered by them as
intended Lessees, and private individuals.
I have, thus, given you an outline of my
views in respect to the matters contained
in your letter, in the same spirit of frank
ness and freedom in which they were soli
cited. You are at liberty to make such
use of them, as, from your greater experi
ence and better judgment, you may deem
proper. I write nothing in regard to pub
lic matters, which I am unwilling should
meet the public eye.
I remain, Dear Sir, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
JACOB HOFFMAN.
The question at issue between the two
parties, in respect to the Internal Im
provements of the State, will be best pre
sented and brought within the comprehen
sion of every intelligent voter, by a recur
rence to the manner of their construction'
' and subsequent management, by the party,
who, with the single exception of an inter
val of three years, had the control of them
during the entire period of their existence.
The original cost of construction, .exceed
ed the amount by at least one third, for
which under practical and economical
management they could have been built.
By reference to the last report
by the Auditor General and
the State Treasurer, it will
be seen, that the original
cost of the public woks,
wits $31,476,245 36
The amount of expenses for
keeping and repairing, to the
let of Nov. 1851, was - -
And the further sum of inter
est paid on loans directly

From this deduct, also, tic

original cost, - - - 31,476,255 36

And upon a closer and more detailed ex
amination, it will further appear, that dur
ing the last nine years, the average annual
net revenue, from the entire public works,
has been only $253,842 26; although the
income for a single year during that peri
od, exceeded the sum of $1,700,000 00;
while the annual interest on the present
debt, is a fraction over $2,000,000 00;
leaving a deficiency, (after applying the
net revenue from the works,) of $1,750,-
000 00, to be wrung from the hard earn
ings of the people, by a swarm of Tax
gatherers, at an annual commission of
$90,000 00; an amount sufficient to sus
tain a small army of their tribe.
In view of this statement is there any
unprejudiced man in the community, who
will pretend to affirm that the public int-,
provements have not been grossly misman
aged? The fact is as clear as the univer
sal light of titz . y and even is admitted by
many prominent Democrats.
Another fact is equally evident; which
is, that instead of improving, according to
all practical experience, the management
of them is becoming worse; and if th. 9
present system is to he continued, they had
better be sold or in some way disposed of,
to relieve the people. They are en enor
mous drain upon .the Treasury, and the
sooner the Commonwealth is rid of them
the better.
It is but a few days, since the Canal
Commissioners have, under a fearful re
sponsibility, and in opposition to sound
policy and uniform practice, assumed the
exercise of a doubtful power, to say the
least of it, by terminating existing arrange
ments, to create a monopoly of the pas
senger business ou the State Road; osten
sibly for the benefit of the State, but real
ly, as it is alleged,. to promote the inter
est of a fuv,,red few: and, that too, in the 1
face of a rifusal by the Legislature, to
sanction or oven eiv.ertain a somewhat simi
lar proposition. This act, is of a charac
ter, which, under all the circumstances,
cannot bo justified by the Canal Board;
and which has received, at the hands of
the late President of that board, and re
cent candidate of the Democratic party for
Governor, the most unqualified condem
nation. lie says, "During every year of
my official term, attempts were made to in
duce the Canal commissioners to create a
monopoly of the passenger business on the
Public Works. My opposition to any
such proposition from any quarter, was,
founded upon the conviction that it was
beyond our jurisdiction, so to circumscribe
business and fair oompetition, and that it
could not be justified by any authority
short of a special sot of the Legislature.—

Availability,
The locofocu presses are constantly har
ping on the theme of the availability of
Gen. Scott, and labor hard to prove that
that was the only inducement to his nomi
nation. Why were Webtser, Fillmore,
Corwin, Ewing, &0., &c., set aside, "for a
snore soldier ?" is the oft reiterated ques
tion. This cuckoo note was heard with as
great pertinacity in 1848, only the theme
was so:newhat varied. It was then why
was Clay set aside' • Or if you wanted a
soldier, why did you not nominate SCOTT,
the real hero of Mexico? You thought
Taylor the most available candidate, there
ford you nominated him over head of snore
deserving men. It is wonderful with what
facility these locofocos harp upon one
string, and how excessively anxious they
are, that justice should be meted out to
the prominent men of our party, accord
ing as they profess to think them most
worthy.
We might answer that it was the will of
the Whig party that Gen. SCOTT should
be the nominee, and therefore it was no
body else's bussiness ; but this might be
thought uncourteous. We therefore re
ply, that Gen. SCOTT has served the coun
try
long and well, that he is deep-seated I
in the hearts of the American people, and
that his fidelity has beet: attested by, a life- I
long service, without any other thought
than of rbpaying his years of toil and de
votion, the people have willed that he Shall'
be President, and accordingly he was nom
inated. Having thus given a reason other
than that of availability, for his nomina
don ; may we be presuited to ask why Gen.
Pierce was nominated? had availability
nothing to do with that? Why was not
Cass, Buchanan, Douglass, Marcy or Hous
ton nominated l Were they not true expo
nants of demccratic principles ? or were
they not available 1 How does it come
that a man who was never thought of be
fore the meeting of the convention, was
nominated over their heads ? Had ho ever
done as snitch for the party, or the country,
as any of these? Or was he more availa
ble, because little known ? Why was he
dubbed a hero in the face of history, if not
o add to his availability. In brief, if it
was not his supposed availability because
of his obscureness, how conies he to be the
locofoco candidate ? It won't do, gentle
men, availability is the only car—mark
your candidate has, therefore we pray you,
cease harping on the availability of Gen.
SCOTT, the ory of availability won't axial
you in this crisis.—Somerset Ileaald.
The flush for Scott in Ohio.
The Cleveland Forest City says every
day increases the strength of Gen. Scott in
Ohio. The people have determined to
give him the electoral vote of the State,
and he will get it by a respectable majori
ty. We give below a few more specimens
of the manner in which the honest yeoman.-
ry desert the candidate of the Locofoco
National Convention:
'‘A friend in Mahonigng county, sending
us a third instalment of subscribers, says:
'Enclosed is $3 for the Campaign Forest
City. Nine of the ten subscribers are, or
rather have been Democrats. They now!
all go for Scott. This will make forty
names I have sent you. There are only
four Whigs among then;. •T h township
gives about six to one for the Democratic
ticket, but my candid opinion is that Gen.
Scott will have a majority in it.'
We received last week, a large list
from ono of the strongest democratic town
ships in Columbiana. The writer of the
letter remarks that the usual Whig vote
of the township does not exceed 65 to 70,
but at least 100 votes will be polled for
Gen. Scott, and adds: 'You have now 17
democratic subscribers in this township;
all for Lundy's Lane.'
.... _ _
Our heaviest Club is in Richmond coun
ty. It numbers about 80 Campaign Week
lies, many of which are taken by men who
heretofore always voted the sham demo
cratic ticket.
A postscript to a letter from Wayne,
containing the names of 55 subscribers,
says: 'This township will give Gen. Scott
50 moro votes than were polled for a Whig
candidate before. The township east of
ours will give a Scott majority. No
Whig ever carried it before.' "
Is Scott a Statesman
Such is the question bellowed out by
every Locofoco press in the country. We
know that these canting hypocrities are
well aware they are asking a question
which none but a simpleton, who is ignor
ant of the history of his country, would ask
seriously. But still they bawl on as loud
as they can, ""Is Scott a statesman?"
We once more answer this query by re
ferring those anxious inquirers after truth'
to the 'history of the Unitcd States. They
will find some evidenoes therein recorded,
that he has performed civil services which
have . won him the title of statesman. Let
them but road the order drawn up by him,
and published immediately after the cap
ture of Mexico and they will find it eon-,
elusive evidence of his legal and admistra
tire abilities. Without that order, it has
been well observed by Mansfield, discipline
could not have been maintained in the ar
my, the inhabitants of Mexico could not
have been conciliated, and consequently
the campaign would have failed, for the
solo object of the campaign was to make
peace. Gen. Scott was bred a lawyer,
and the reader will see that this order is
drawn up with an accurate knowledge of
the principles bearing upon the case, and
the best means of administering justice,
where civil law cannot be appealed to. It
is one of the best legal documents over is
sued by any functionary of the Executive
flovernment.--,Philndolphia Neu,.
