To prevent any misunderstanding here after, the patrons of the Journal will please bear in mind, that the subscription list since July Ist, '45., the job and advertising accounts since Ist of May,. '52; and also the accounts-of yearly advertisements com menced, renewed,. or 6hanged last spring— all now belong to the•proprietor of the es tablishment,. as- announced by Mr. Stewart last week. But the accountsof Job work done in this office before the Ist of May, '52, and of advertisements which were fin ished and taken out of the paper before. that time, are in the hands of Mr. S. and to be settled by him, with the exception of a few jobs and advertisements done in the mouth of April. [Cr It will be remembered that we some weeks ago, advertised for a couple of chil dren—a girl between twelve and fourteen, and a boy between fourteen and sixteen years of age—which we propose to instruct —the girl in housekeeping and. schocl teaching, and the boy in the printing busi ness. Our call was promptly, and as we thOught, satisfactorily answered. But the applicants have disappointed us, and the. situation i 4 thus left open to others.— Country children will be preferred, if ap plication be made soon. 07" Eve was tempted with an apple.— It is hardly to be wondered at, if old Hun- Nil used such tempting fruit as the basket full of Itadooes we received from Nra. A Party's Glory and Shame. Five years ago General Winfield Scott, returned from the fields of his fame in Mexico. After a campaign of almost in surmountable difficulties, and a wasting warfare, in which death gathered as rich a harvest from the sick beds of the soldiery, as from the bursting bomb-shell, or the hail storm of lead. After the grave had cried enough! After victory was hoarse, with its shouts of triumph! After a na tion's glad songs gave the ftethe to the Great Commander,—after maddened party spleen, and the petty spite of power, had ordered that Commander home under ar rest,—after his persecutors had been frowned into silence, then the honest man hood left in the basest heart, felt free to speak. 'GLORY TO WINFIELD SCOTT! AND FOREVER SILENT BE TILE RIBALD TONGUE THAT world) SLANDER HIS NAME WITH AUGHT THAT IS NOT GLORIOUS IN ACTION, INVINCIBLE IN COURAGE, .AND UNFALINO IN RESOURCES AND WISDOM."—Said the Pennsylvanian of May 10 , 1847. Aye, Glory to Winfield Scott. Five years ago, Scott was not before the people as a candidate, and even this bitter oppo nent curses the slanderer that dares to con nect his name "with a•ight that is not glorious in action, invincible iu courage, and unfailing iir resources, and WISDOM."— For once the party bad cause to be proud of its editor,—for once truth triumphed; and Scotts glory! gave glory to that party. We must shift the scene. Shame has overshadowed the glory:—the slanderer, deserves his own curses, and in his own columns, the infamy is admitted,---party demands the sacrifice. Shameless falsehood marshalls hor myrmidons; and he, who their own partizan had declared, "glorious in admit, invincible in courage, and unfailing in resources and wisdom" is now assailed, by these fellows of falsehood and hate, thus: "If the Democrats could contrive to fasten'a peacock's tail to the old General, he would strut himself to death by the middle of October."—Detroit Free Press. •'We charge General Scott with COWAR- DlCE."—Pennsylvanian. "General Scoot is vain, empty, proud and silly."—Gen. Pierce's Biography, page 57. I 'The proud man General Scott is a run in his fermentation, swelling, and Coiling like a porridge pot. He sets his feathers like an owl, to swell and seem big ger than be is. lie is troubled with an inflammation of self conceit, that renders him the MAN OF PASTEBOARD, and a true BUCKRAM KNlOBT."—Detroit Free Press. Good Alen of all Parties. Patriots of every creed and nation,—tell the world by your votes,—that your country's honor is your party's glory. Woodward Given Up. So well satisfied are some of the Pierce Democracy, that George W. Woodward, their candidate for Supreme Judge, will be defeated, that they by implication admit it. They say "he has placed himself in an un fortunate position"—"lt is a bad time for him to run"—"he may be beaten." That our readers may understand Wood ward's unfortunate position, we will call to their recollection his effort in the Re form convention, to prohibit foreigners becoming voters. The infamy of that day, stuck to him like the poisoned shirt; and when in 1851, he found it necessary to give himself caste, that ho might more effectually assail and slander Gov. Johnston, he wrote a letter endeavoring to smooth over the rough pla ces in the records of that convention. A long and labored argument was made; and fearing that it would not convince any his °riling mind, he closes it with the allega tion, that even, if the record were true, no ono ought to complain, for it did not affect foreigners already in the country—and it gave notice to all that should come to the country after that time; and if they did not like our laws, they might stay away. This cunniuig trick to avoid the liavest of disgrace, his conduct had gathered, he discovered was being exposed, and the boldness of his first act was only equalled by the meanness of the last. NOW lie wants votes, and has but one course left, write another letter, and give the lie to history; and ho does it. Now he stands before the world, with the sun of his great ness darkened with his own shame and falsehood. Truly “lie Iles placed himself in an unfortunate position"—and many of his friends dike Billy Black— ,, rrives-it up."

Whigs, of Huntingdon County ! Whigs, of Pennsylvania! On next Tuesday you are called upon, by every tie that binds an American citizen, to go to the election and vote. From this day, until then, you have three whole working days; and it becomes every good Whig to enquire of himself, what remains for me to do? It is your duty to vote. This admitted, you have something else to do. If you love the principles of your party, you ought to be willing to spend some time, to make your vote effective. If your vote is of value to you, see to it, that you use the means to make it successful. In three days, much can be done. Get on to your horse, and ride three or four miles every evening, to call on your neighbors. An hour spent each day, by the active Whigs, would in three days, vis it every Whig voter in your township. See that your tickets are all got, and carefully folded, and carry them with you. Every man you see, from now to the election, urge him to be up and doing too. Tell him that every vote is needed at the Octo ber election, if he would make a clear field for Scott in November. On election. day do this ! Go to the election early; and every man that can, go on horseback, or in his wagon, call on all your neighbors as you go,—take them with you, and vote early, then lend your horse, or wagon,— or go yourself, for any absent or distant Whig. Do this, honest and active Whigs. All of you, in every township, do this, awl your glorious victo ry will astonish yourselves, and hand over your opponents to dospair. One Elector in Danger. Some weeks since the Elector for this District, Dr. John McCulloch, sent to the Whig State Committee, a request that his name be withdrawn from the ticket. That Committee, by the authority vested in them, filled the vacancy with the name of John Williamson. A few of the Whig Journals of the State have corrected the ticket, while many have not. The Slate Committee, and the Whig Press of the State, should look to this matter, or one of our electors might be beaten, by the fact, that in seine counties, the ticket had not been corrected. The elector for the lith District, should be John Williamson. “Jakey Ijoffmazar and the (nuances. For years we have abandoned the Penn sylvania Public works, as caravans some times abandon their baggage trains to the arab robbers, hoping that they may thus be attracted from further pursuit, satisfied with the booty obtained. Years of unli censed plunder ! unlicensed plunder did we say l we. might say, with partial truth, licensed plunder; convinced us, that that party would hold on, until they had bag ged the last dollar. We therefore conclu ded to let them pillage the public treasure unrcbuked. The people of all parties, knew as much as we did, and like us, seem ed tacitly to say, ~g o on, if that will sat isfy you." We would not now say one word, to scare them from their ill gotten gainings; if they in peace would take and hide their steal ings. But they have grown impudent and bold. One would suppose that they deni ed the right of the people to talk about any one for Canal Coimnisioner, unless he is one of their pimps or parasites. Their saucy demands need , ga word of contradic tion." .‘Jakey" Hoffman, they call the Whig Candidate for canal commissioner, and have attacked his reputation as a man and citizen. Out upon ye ! You object to Hof man because you think him dishonest. If your charge was true, you would all vote for him. Do you suppose the voters do not know what you like. Have they forgotten the Free Port aqueduct—have they forgotten, the Cameronian, and the Ovenshire theiv ing upon the Columbia Railroad—have they forgotten the rip-rap theft of the west Branch Canal—have they forgotten the every day pickings and plunderings of the Juniata Division —have they forgotten the' Portage Railroad corruptions,—have they forgotten the Bingham & Dock Railroad case and fraud, and have they forgotten, the ignorance, knavery, stupidity, and un blushing corruption thatoomposes, controls, and divides the spoils. with,• the. present Canal Board; and knowing and remember ing all these 'things, they know your oppo sition to "Jakey" Hoffman is because-you know-that ho is honest; and. you prefer a man who has not nerve to do right, when your bold blustorers bully him with brava (in Jnlrav linfrman io hatrns.i Voters, if you would vote for an honest inau r vote for this very "Jakey" Hoffman. We have written this much only as in troduction to an extract from, the Lycom ing Gazzette, a Loco Noce paper, that it seems, is tco honest, to act with them in this election, so far as canal influences are concerned. Read it tax-payers. Then on Tuesday next answer the question, whether you will not vote for "Jakey" Hoffman instead of the nerveless Hopkins. From the 14 coming Gametic, a locofoco japer. The Public Works. How the Public Works are Managed— The Difference between a Horse thief and a Canal Thief. We should like to know what measure of oppression, what amount of fraud, would be 'sufficient to arouse the people of this State to a true sense of the danger in which they are placed. The management of our public works, for a long series of years, has been characterized by tying, perjury, robbing, stealing, swindling, and every oth er species of great rascality and little ras cality. At times, canal comtnisioners, en gineers, supervisors and collectors have been implicated in the most nefarious transactions—transactions which, had they taken place in the private walks of life, would have stamped the offenders with such iudellible marks of infamy as would have excluded them forever from inter course with respectable people. It would seem, however, that a new school of ethics has been established in this unfortunate State. A canal officer may steal, with im punity, thousands of dollars, wrung from the hard earnings of our tax-payers, and with the proceeds of his villanylie may buy and build houeses. But let some poor devil of a fellow steal a horse, or an ass, or any animate or inanimate thing, and the whole community will rise up as one luau to obtain redress for the wrong committed against the rights of property. The thief is pursued, caught, tried, convicted, sen tenced and imprisoned. NI he has commit ted the greatest wrong against society— the horse thief or the public robber 1 Why is it that a distinction is made between a poor thief and a rich thief? Why is it that the purloiner of a fo.undered quadru ped is incarcerated in a penitentiary for a long term of years, and the purloiner of ' I thousands of the people's money is retain ed in office—rewarded with titles of honor —and permitted to remain at the head of a local party organization ? If Sodom would have been saved, provi ded five righteous Mil had been found with in her walls; we think that there is suffi cient honesty, intelligence, and independ ence in the democratic party of old Lycom ing to preserve it from it the festering em brace of canal robbers. Of all cants in this canting world, pre serve us from the cant of Democracy and Patriotism as it falls from the lips and oozes from the pens of your trained office holders and office beggars. The article is long, and we have only selected a few short paragraphs iu order that the honest men of every party, may be prepared to answer, under which flag they will fight at the next election. An swer like Freemen. "Justice" must excuse us. His communication is much too long. This is our last issue before the election. Our room is of importance. We have already devoted a portion of our columns to the saute object; and nobody seems sufficient ly interested, to take part on the other side. If our time would permit; we would condense his communication, and give it a place. We could have spared half a col umn,—two columns was asking too much now. IVe will promise "Justice" however that we can aid his purpose at the proper lime, and in a snore efficient way. Township Meetings. We have recieved the notice of the pro celdings of Meetings hold by the Whigs in Morris, Franklin, Warriorsmark, Union, and Cass township. The meetings were all said to have been large and more than usually enthusiastic. The speakers, at the first three were J. S. Stewart, S. L. Glasgow, Jno. N. Prowell and Dr. Wintrode, and at the last two H. B. Swoope, D. Blair, Jacob Creswell and Elias Smith, and we aro assured that their speeches were effective for good. Our want of room will not allow us to insert them at length. WANTED.—Four or five pounds of fresh butter a week, or twice as much, deliver ed every two weeks, from the Ist of No vember till the Ist of May. Sixteen cents a pound will be given for a good article, and paid in 'hard money' if desired. Will some of our friends bring us a sample, and engage•to supply us during the winter ? EFFECTS OF TARIFF.—The Tariff of 1846 sells small plastering nails, at 3 to 4 coats a pound. A Canal Tariff buys look irons, bolts, and spikes, at from 5 to 9 ots. Gen. Scott and the Germans. There appears to be a systematic, organ ized effort, on the part of Geo. Scott's en codes, to fabricate and promulgate the grossest, the vilest, and most heatless slanders. They stop at nothing, loose no opportunity, and take advantage of every prejudice in the hope to snake their infa mous calumnies effective. Gen. Scott, during his short stay in Co lumbus, Ohio, was waited upon by Judge Heyl, on behalf of the German citizens, and his attention was directed to a para graph in the Westbote, a German paper, printed in that city, which says that Gen. Scott "tied to one tree, and flogged fif teen Germans, while in the City of Mex ico." The article, also, accuses him of having "cruelly and unjustly hanged oth ers." The infamy of the charge, roused the lion in old Churubusco; and in a speech, in which he satisfies every man that he is a ready, effective, and eloquent speaker, and astonishes even his warmest friends, with his powers as an orator, he publicly re buked the calumniator. We give below, two short paragraphs of that speech, that our readers may see the style, the force, and the impassioned eloquence of the Christian, Hero, and Patriot. OUR re gret is, that every man who loves truth and right, could not read the whole speech.— Having pronounced the charge a lie, he proceeds as follows : "Gentlemen, I dud, with a high hand, sustain the law, which, with uprightness in my heart, I determined to sustain. I did hang for murder! I did hang for rape! I did hang for treason ! and I flogged thieves and pick-pockets! For, gentlemen, let me again say, I not only carried with me, but I resolved, with every resource I could command, to sustain fearlessly and effectually, is its virtue and its choicest blessings, not only to my own command, but to the defenceless and peaceful Mexi cans, that civilization—yes, that Christian civilization of which I was proud to believe that army might appear a worthy represen tative. "But, gentlemen, I was no respecter of persons, ✓lmerican or Mexican—native born or foreign born—whoever knew the law and obeyed it not—whoever, reckless of his own responsibilities and the rights of others, trampled under foot and set at naught the law that was over all, I PUN ISHED. I did hang for the crimes stated, and I would have hung an hundred seekers of innocetit blood and vialators of female chastity, if so many had been the offenders! And for this, perverted and misshaped, I am made answerable to a charge against which my every feeling revolts, and which my whole nature and my whole life repel." We have but to ask, Why must, so good, so great, so pure, so deserving a man as General Scott be thus defamed ? We an swer, solely in the hope that such baseness will further the election of a little, un known, and undeserving New Hampshire lawyer, to the Presidential chair. Honest Crthluans ! Will you take side with such wicked slanderers, for such a purpose Me CO:1311MM Soldiers Insulted. "Can any Whi,, , r tell me why it is that every soldier in the Mexican war, of any distinction, supports Pierce and opposes Scott.—From the Pennsylvanian. Some where a day or two ago we saw the above precious extract; and the thought struck us at once, that this party that pro fessed so much love for the ii i3olllllloll peo ple;" did not earn much about the cons mon soldier. The insinuation contained in the question is destitute of truth. A regiment of the soldiers of the Mexican war could be drummed up, whose names will shine as brightly as those of the thou ' sands dead, or the thousands living, who would forgo every thing rather than not vote for their kind and brave old comman der, SCOTT. False as it is, however it shows, what that party considers the char acteristic of worth. Such soldiers, as Pillow, and Cushing, are men of “distinc ' lion," while the toil-worn, and ill cared for soldier, who stood amid the hail storm of grape, canister, and musket balls, or marched through the leaden sleet that swept from the batteries of Moline del I Roy, are not to noticed. Oh you poor soldiers, who love your old chief for his humanity, and his atten- tion to your wants,—you who love him be cause he thus evinced his love for you.— You may go for Scott,' it dont amount to any thing, you are of no "distinction." Pierce is to get all the influence of the "men of destinction." Your humble names ,would not be of any use to publish in the newspapers, no body would know you! Well honest and brave men, you of the rank and file. There is a day coming when you and "men of distinction meet on a common level. Remember that on election days, you are as much "icon of distinction" as thel rich or great, and your old commander relied on you, in more try ing times than those. You did not cnn New Goods. J. &W.

We will give the advertisements of these splendid goods next week. rp3lany of our Meichants and Trades men are in the city laying in their supply of Fall and Winter goods.—ln a few days they will be home with their wares, and every want of the town and country richly supplied.

The departed fell asleep without a struggle; with a smile of peace appearently resting upon her countenance. 0! death, where is thy sting? ‘ , O! Grave, where is thy victory?" On tlio Morning of the 20th ult., in Shirleysburg, Huntingdon County, Pa., JAAIES HUDSON, aged 23 years, 9 months, and_24_days. Mr. Mason, was cut down in the morn ing of life; yet we trust that the end of life was attained by him. He was devo ted to the cause of God from the time that he made a profession of religion in August of 1852. His one aim was to please God by obeying him in all his holy require ments. His loss will be deeply felt. in the family, in the Sabbath School and in the Baptist Church, of which he bad been a very active and useful member. But their loss is his eternal gain. The Sab bath before his death, when he heard the Church Bell ring for Sabath School ho said, "I shall shortly be in an Eternal Sabbath School." And a short time be fore Isis death he sang the verse : "Let cares like a wild deluge comp And storms of sorrow full May I but safely reach my home My God my heaven my all." , . - And then he added as his last words-- "Now I see the way clearly." And he , fell asleep in Jesus, in hope of eternal life. And on the morning of the 21st., his mor tal remains were conveyed to their resting place in the bosom of mother earth until the heavens are no more. In this solemn event of Providence a voice addresses the youth, "Remember now thy Creator"— and prepare to meet tiey God." May it be beard by all, and blessed, and sanctified for the good of all. D.
