You have only three days more to secure your veto at the first Election. See to it, you young men who voted on age last year or you will loose your votes. Go to the• Assessor to-day, do not wait an hour:— Have your names put on the assessment. And you, active Whigs, in evory town ship ? Examine the lists as put up in your townships, and see what young man's name is not on it. If thoro aro any new-comers in your township, see that their names are on the Assessment. After. Saturday it will be too late. Lot no vote.be lost by. a uog ligence in this matter. Let every Whig be sure that hia name is on the Assessor's list before Saturday night. After this week it will be too late to have it entered and your vote will be lost to your party and country. We hope no Whig will neglect his duty. To the Readers of the Journal Having sold my interest in the Journal to Mr. Hall, my connection with the paper now and for the future, has ceased. During the thirteen months in which, I have who /3, or partially directed it, I have been thrown in contact with a large number of persons, whom I gladly part with editori ally, but for whom, in my more private ca pacity I entertain the kindliest feelings. My intercourse with them has been highly agreeable; but I have seen the editorial "elephant" and ant satisfied. In the rigid performance of what I considered my duty to the Whig party, I have come into pos session of some bitter enemies, whose friendship I will not put myself to much trouble to re-cultivate. To all, except the very few incorrigible beasts whose no tice I despise, permit me to present my most grateful acknowledgements. Being naturally a good natured man, and a be liever, (under the influence of continued ameliorating caused in the ultimate perfec tibility of the human race, I will not enter tain bad feelings even toward my enemies, while at the same time, it will scarcely be ex pected that I will shower my affections upon them. During the last year I have made some acquisitions in knowledge and experi ence for a good portion of which, the corps editorial and the patrons of the Journal will take to themselves the credit. My old and new friends as well as strangers are respectfully invited, when in town, to call at my office nearly opposite the Court House, where they will find themselves urbanely treated, and their pockets not immoderately invaded, in case they should want any LAW BUSINESS attended to. It is unnecessary to add that I am still a firm believer in-Whig principles, and the elec tion of the Whig ticket as the best means of carrying them out. J. S. STEWART, P. S. The subscriptions duo the Jour nal office, and the Job and advertising ac— counts of the firm of Stewart & Hall; also the yearly advertisements commenced or renewed last spring, belong to Mr. Hall and will be settled by him. J. S. S. By the above it will be seen that J. Sewell Stewart, Esq., has transferred, by sale, his entire interest iii the « Hun tingdon Journal" to the undersigned, who will continue to conduct the establishment, being aided in the political department, by A. W. Benedict, Esq., whose name and services have been engaged to fill the void occasioned by the withdrawal of Mr. Stew art. Our readers will perhaps regret, as much as we do, this sudden termination of an agreeable connection. We trust, how ever, that their regrets, like ours, will bo somewhat modified by the fact that Mr. Stewart's course has not been dictated by any abatement of interest in the success of Whig principles, by any distaste for edito rial duties, or dissatisfaction with the gen erous public for which he so faithfully la bored. The demands of an increasing pro fessional business which now requires, and will hcncefcrth receive his whole time and the best energies of his gifted mind, and with which the business relations, of a printing office necessarily interfered, requi red the sacrifibe. He has thus merely left one post of usefulness and distinction iu order to devote more attention to another, to him, of superior importance; and in which we may expect his rise will be rapid, and reflect credit on himself and the noble pro fession of his choice. Of the gentleman we have selected to succeed Mr. Stewart, we need not speak. Our patrons know him. The people of the Commonwealth and the country know him. The Whigs have not forgotten, and the Opposition have reason to remember his former editorial career. We feel assured that if tact, talent, a large experience, and ever wakeful zeal can sustain the Whig party and Whig organ of Old Huntingdon, then will neither be likely to suffer by our new arrangement. J. A. HALL. Editors Notice. To the patrons of the Journal it is ne cessary for we to say but little, to declare my principles or purpose. Most of them know me personally; awl have been long familiar with my political opinions and par ty attachments. It is however, proper that my connectiomwith the Journal should be understood. The mutual separation of the business relations of Messrs. Stewart & Hall, and the solo proprietorship being vested in the latter, whose, time, attention and care, were all demanded in the fulfilment of his duties as a Teacher; it became necessary that the services of some person should be secured, who would give to the editorial columns of the Journal their necessary attention. Such arrangements wore then znado be tween Mr. Hall and myself, as induced me once more, to make my editorial bow to my old patrons. I wish, however, all to un derstand, that with the business or pecuni ary affairs of the printing office I have no connection: my time is demanded by the business of my profession; and to manage his own, Mr. Hall is fully competent. My confidence in him, overcame any doubts I entertained as to the propriety of assuming the duties of Editor; and as the political editor, only, have I permitted my name to be used; and as its political editor, we,— (mark the prerogative) we shall be the au thor of the editorials, and shall hold our selves responsible for their tone and truth. To the readers and patrons, of the Jour nal, we can promise nothing, only a fear less and faithful effort, according to our understanding and ability, to sustain the well-earned reputation of the Huntingdon Journal. To the Whigs of this county and district we have but to say, we shall be the same earnest and zealous advocate of our measures and men that we have ever been. To our brethren of the press we extend our opou band, with the assurance that we shall bo a warm, and withal, a frank friend; cherishing the hope that among them we shall find no foes. A. W. BENEDICT, Is Every Township Organized Whigs of e Old fluntingdon ! Your old enemies have been pretending to sleep du ring this campaign. They hope to steal a march on you. They have nominated no county ticket. They have made no effort to organize their forces. While the hare slept, the slow but industrious turtle, pass ed him in the race. Our political enemies, are always at work in Whig counties—. quietly. Whigs in Whig counties must organize, and arouse all their voters. Every vote should be out at the first election. We have a Supreme Judge to elect. We have a BUFFINGTON who can, and if we work, will, beat a AVOODWARD. The first a man of mental and moral worth; the latter, a political demagogue who has wil lingly and knowingly sacrificed truth to se cure party ends. No Whig voter can stay at home on the Second Tuesday of Octo ber and not deserve to loose the name of Whig. We have a Canal Commissioner to elect —and you must answer, will you have a Hoffman or a Hopkins? The former an honest, fearless and faithful Whig, who will be interested in watching his two political opponents in the board. The latter a man who, in a public confession, acknowledged , that he had "NOT NERVE" to do right, when the demands of party urged him to do wrong. We have a Couressman and a County Ticket in the fielcr but as there is no or ganized effort to beat either of them, we need not consume our room by pressing , their separate and special claims. They will be elected--“just as easy" Remember this one thing. The larger the vote you got out on the first election day, the more "mighty" will be your ma jority, and the louder will it speak for Old Soot t. ORGANIZE! then, if you have not..-- Let every good Whig spend one whole day for his country, and adopt some sure means to have every vote polled, and that early in the day. Whigs of Cass, of Union, of Tod, of Hopewell, of Penn, of "little" Walker, we expect to hear good things from you all. And you of Clay, of Springfield, of Crom well, of Dublin, and of Shirley, you have never failed, when strength was needed.— Aye, and you of Tell, what there is of you, aro always there! And you too, of Bra dy, and Porter, and Morris, and Franklin, and Warrioremark and Birmingham, let none of you be away at your country roll call. And you, gallant Whigs, of West, Barree, Jackson and Henderson, you have ever been wont to do your duty—you will be there of course. Whigs, all ! make a gallant fight on the twelfth of October. and you will have an easy victory in November. • TILE SCHOOL JOURNAL.—We would again call attention to this valuable peri odical. The perusal of a single number will more than repay any intelligent young teacher the subscription price for a whole year. Country Teachers who are not sup plied with some good publication of the kind, aro once more earnestly requested to call at our office, when in town, and exam ine this, ono of the very best educational works we have over read. Subscription price only ONE DoLLAB, In another column will be found a reply to 4, Milnwood." It should have ap peed last week, but was unavoidably decayed for want of room. Whig Meetings. Every where we see the evidence that the Whigs arc becoming thoroughly arous ed to the importance of this contest. Mass Meetings, County Meetings, Township Meetings and Borough Meetings are being held all over the State, and many distin guished speakers are spending their time and money travelling from place to place to call the Whigs into the field. The shameless attacks upon General Scott by the minions of Locofoooism have called into action the right men and the right spirit. Citizens, of old Huntingdon, we don't say Whigs alone, because there are hun dreds of men of all parties going to• vote for that warrior-patriot and sage: Citi zens ! are . you awake. We see that meet ings have been called in several townships in this county. Turn out ! turn out to the Meetings and counsel with your neighbors. There is work to do. Find out whore you can be of the most service in the field, and • go to work. To Correspondents, The favors of "Alonzo" "R. A. M." and "A Wanderer" are on file, and will appear as fast as we can find room for them. The "Lines suggested by a visit to the Grave of an infant," have been mislaid or lost. We wish to inform the individual that signs himself "A true friend"—that when we feel in need of advice or assistance in the management either of our office or school, and discover that he is qualified to give it, we will call on him. Our friend, "C. 31.," who some time ago sent us an excellent article on "Protec tion," will bear with us a little longer.— His communication shall appear next week. A VOICE FROM CASS TOWNSHIP, Public Meeting. From a few hours notice a very respec table meeting convened at the Public School House in Cassville, on Friday.even ing the 17th inst. The meeting came to order by unanimously electing Col. JOHN STEVER, President, Mr. Heart BROWN AND JOSHUA GREENLAND, Esq., Vice Presidents ' Elias Wilson and Richard son Reed, Secretaries, Elias Wilson,Ja- 1 cob Gehrett, H. Underwood, A. W. lark son and Isaac Smith, Esq., were appointed by the chair to draft a preamble and reso lutions expressive of the sense of the meet ing. In the absence of the committee the meeting was very ably addressed by Mr. D. Stewart Elliot, of Blair county. A few remarks were also made by Mr. John Ba ker. The committee reported the follow ing which was unanimously adopted: Whereas it is a right held dear by eve ry freeman, to fearlessly express his views and opinions of all public men and meas ures, upon every proper occasion, we the free and independent citizens of Cass town ship do hereby declare: Ist. That we have undiminished confi dence in the great principles and practices of the Whig party of the United States, and that we will labor zealously to pro mote the ascendency of those measures of national and State policy, which are iden tified with the prosperity and welfare of our common country. 2d. That in Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT, the nominee of the National Whig Conven tiortfor President, we have .a rare combi nation of the soldier and Statesman, a man who for forty years has served his coun try with fidelity and honor, and now leads the conquering armies of patriotic freemen to victory, over the combined forces of Looofoooisin, Disunionists, Free Traders, Free Sailers, and every other faction of fanatics, whose only aim is personal agran dizoment and the spoils of office. 3d. That in WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, we recognize the ripe scholar and profound Statesmen, well fitted for the second high est office is our great republic. 4th. That in JACOB HOFFMAN, our candidate for Canal Commissioner, we have a gentleman of fine abilities, who if elected will exert a healthful supervision over the Canal Board, and prevent that wholesale system of public plunder, which has for years drained our Treasury of the hard earnings of the honest Tax-payers of the State. sth. That in the Hon. Joseph. Buffing ton, the accomplished scholar and jurist, we present a man eminently fitted for a seat ou the Bench of our Supremo Court, and earnestly commend him to the support of the people of Pennsylvania for that of fice. 6th. That in John .McCulloch, we have a . man of undoubted qualifications for Representative of this Congressional dis trict, and congratulate our Whig brethorn, upon his nomination and certain election. 7th. That we will support our County Ticket with zeal and fidelity, and never cease our exertions until the last vote is polled and the victory certain. It was moved and seconded that the pro oeedings of this meeting be signed by the officers and published in the Huntingdon Journal and Blair County Whig, which was unanimously agreed to. [Signed by the officers:.] iLr'Several editorial articles deferred for • At Mass Meetings of the Germans, recently held in Pittsburg and Cincinnati, these honest sons of toil assembled by thousands, and announced in strong and emphatic language, their determination to support the Whig ticket at the approach ing elections. Thus the Scott column ri ses in the West. Sixteen thousand persons were as sembled at the great Whig Mass Meeting held in Lancaster City, on the 16th inst. At Gettysburg, Uniontown and many other places in various parts of the State similar demonstrations have been made of the en thusiasm and hope which pervades the masses, for Scott and Graham. AN OMISBION.-By some strange over sight, our notice of Scott's reception , by the citizens of Huntingdon, on the 17th inst., did not appear in the last Journal.— We have seldom witnessed such a sudden out-burst of genuine, heartfelt enthusiasm as was manifested by the dense crowd as sembled at the depot to welcome the glo rious old Chief. [r Arthur's Home Gazette and the Home Journal, amongst the most regular and most welcome of our weekly exchang es, arc always filled with interesting and instructive reading, calculated to exert a salutary influence on the public taste and morals, and at a very trifling oost to each subscriber. tr-r Godey and Graham, for October, are on our table. . They aro again double numbers, containing the usual number of engravings, and filled with choice reading matter. Death of Judge McFarland. We learn that the lion Geo. R. McFar land, was so severely injured on Monday last, by the falling of a heavy casting in his foundry, that he died in a short time. We have not heard the particulars.
