HUNTINGDON, PA.
Thursday Morning, Nov. 11, 1552.
A. W. BENIDICT, ESQ., Pouncm, Et,
V. B. PAkil ER
IS our authorized agent Lit Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, to receive advertisements,
and any persons in those cities wishing to adver
tise in our columns, will please call on him.
The Election is Over.
Well, the long agony is over. Again we have
met the enemy, and we arc, most emphatically,
theirs. The Whig party, under the banner of the
gallant Scott, have met with a most disastrous de
feat. Contrary to the hopes of all, and the expec
tations or ninny, G eneral Franklin Pierce has been
elected Presklent of the United States for the
next four years, after the fourth of March next.
In 1840, the Whigs, under Ilarilson, triumphed
gloriously. That stern messenger, death, sum•
moiled him to hie-borne in the skies, one mouth
after he was inair4;erated. Tyler and his treach
ery gave the Administration into the hands of our
foes; and the Whig party were powerless fur good.
At the end of the four years, slander, falsehood,
treachery, and deceit, combined their strength,
and struck to the earth, the standard of that great
est of orators, statesmen, and patriots, Henry
Clay. Infamy was victorious, and the good and
great Clay went down to the• tomb, defeated by
;James K. Polk Four years, the fruit of the
Tariff swindle, was enjoyed by Polk and his par
ty, but the cheat had made such an impression up
on the minds of the . people, that at the end 'of that
term, retribution hurled the party front his place
of power, and Uhl Rough and Heady *vas called
from the camp to the cabinet. Ile lived but a few
short mouths to wear his honors. He who had
spared his life, when death was reaping its terri
ble harvests in the battle field; could spare him no
longer. Ile had to answer the roll cull of death;
and the destinies of our conntry devolved upon the
second in command, Millard Fillmore. How wise
ly and how well he has perforated the ditties of his
high trust, let. the praise of all parties speak.
Twice out of four elections have the Whig par
ty succeeded; and now, when we believed we bad
the best claim, we have failed.
Conscious right can endure defeat; and what
prouder evidence of the patriotic integrity of the
Whig party, than that defeat does not dishearten
its friends. They rise from any blots-, no matter
how stunning. Their purity of purpose, gives
nerve to their will, gad energy to their action, and
they "fight on, fight ever."
We love the Whig potty, its patriotic and stern
statesmen, who so gallantly bear its standard, and
its republican principles. We love it, aye, more
Ur. (*feat than success, fur then its virtues shine
forth the.brightest. Who that is a Whig, in very
deed, does not?`
Our defeat now, should not, can not, will not,
dishearten. any truss. Whig. For wise ends, we
have met defeat; Wit-ean endure• it; and the in
tegrity of our purpose will, sustain us in our
watchful conservatism, although wo , do.not enjoy
the "victor's spoils." Our principles will' remain,
and truth wiapreserve them from injury; and they
must ultimately Triumph. As Whigs, let us "bide
our time."
One Comfort.
The Whigs of 01,1 Huntingdon still enjoy the
proud satisfaction of knowing that they have pre
served their integrity from the over-flowing tor
rent of Loco Focoism. All the efforts of the
"bread and butter patriots" have, for twenty
years, proved unavailing to win them from their
Nth. Every means huvo been resorted to, to rob
the Whigs of this old County of their strength.—
Even when the county was divided, by a Loco
Foeo Legislature, they carefully calculated the
Political complexion of the counties, and the sev
eral townships comprising them, and endeavored
to arrange the boundaries so that the old County
shopl,l be at their mercy. But the old, sterling
Whigs, who lived in her vallies and on her hills,
came out at the first call, and snatched their fan
cied victory out of their liana; and they have
never recovered their loss.
It is comforting to our Whigs to know that they
live among their friends. That they can not be
cheated, nor despoiled of their-victories. Our op
ponents may taunt about Salt River, but Salt
River, so far as it runs through Huntingdon Coun
ty, is a stream only navigable by Loco Focos.
Gallant Whigs, of Old Huntingdon, we are still
at home among our friends. We have to show
that we believe what we profess; and with un
flinching faith, preserve our good Old County
from filling into the hands of our political ene
mies. We honor and respect you for your fidelity.
What was the•Cause?'
•00 ,
We hall lie often asked what was the cause of,
t ' elmin g .ilefeat of our party and Goner-
We shall not undertake to answer this
on now. But at another time, when the
woke of the contest has-blown away,—when the
thousand-and one causes which-may have minis
tered to secure the result, shall be more plainly
developed; when the feuds and frictions which
have bred miSehief in our own:ranks; and given
"aid and comfort" to our foes, shall become up
t.arent—when the well known deceit of our oppo
nents shall be more fully developed, then we in
tend to review the whole field, and as our judg
ment shall suggest, give our reasons for the result
of the last election.

Do you take your County Paper?
The above question is one that every man
should ask °rids neighbor. Many, we have no
doubt would reply oh, no, I cant aftbrd it. You
can't afford it you say—Cant you afford to have
within your reach, a paper that contains the ad
vertisements of every body that has any thing to
sell cheap? Did it never occur to you that it is
only the men who sell at n small profit that ad
vertise? :Now see how it works. You want to
buy a hat, coat, pair of boots, or shoes for your
self or family, and you go law a store and buy.—
If you had looked at our advertisements you
would have seen, where you could have bought
them, one, two, or three dollars cheaper,—you
could not tatbrd it! You wish to buy a horse,
well you dont take cur paper, where the sales of
personal property are advertised, and you get
none of the chances to buy cheap nt such places.
Let me state a circumstance that came under
our owe eyes. We were once in the County ,
Commissioners office, when a Mr. F. S., cumin
and said, "Gentlemen you have tee taxed too
high; you tax me with $4, State find County tax
fur money at interest, I have no money at inter
est, I took it up to build my barn." "Well" said
the Commissioners, "we cannot help it now, it
has passed out of out• power, why did you not attend
the appeal." "Because" said Mr. S., "I did not
know when it was." Here we spoke in anti said,
"that serves you right," you don't take the Jour
nal or you would have saved that four dollars"—
After that he afforded to take the paper. Anoth
er. A farmer said to Ist once, "•I must ad
vertise fur a Steer I have lost worth fifteen or
twenty dollars." Describe him said we, he did
so, and wa Said "you don't take the Journsl•"—
"I cant afford it said he"—' can you afford , to
loose the Steer! u•e asked, and his answer was in
the negative, we then invited him to our office
and showed him that his steer had been advertis
ed weeks before as a "Stray," and he had no time
to spare to save him from hieing sold. "Put my
name ou your list as a Subscriber," says he, "I
see I can't "fjord to be without mil own county pt.
per. Can you atibrd it?

A Good Joke.
The, refined" Oily Gammon of a newspaper, the
Public Ledger, gices as the nub] cause, of the
success of General Pierce,—the calumnies pub
lished by the Whig Press egoist him. It at
tempts to show that because the calumniated of
ten triumphs over his calumniators, therefore the
calumnies agaist Pierce elected him; and then
reads a moral lecture upon such wickedness.
An ingrain Loco Foco, who has we doubt not
laughed at the ribaldry and falsehood which has
been heaped by his fellows upon a long tried pub
lic servant, whose whole life is without spot, takes
this course to fasten upon the character ofGener
al Scott, the shameless slanders of a corrupt
Press. Ile would have the world believe that its
adnertising column which teemed with infamous
falselpods against Scott were all true. But that
is say of Pierce he fainted, was a calumny.
We consider it a good joke that the Ledger
thinks the publication of some historical truths
about Pierce were such calumnious assaults upon
him as to arouse the virtuous indignation of the
good and pure—but to call Scott a coward, the
robber of the poor solstice, the tyrant who hung
up the Irish, and Germans fur pastime, was not
such a calumny as to move the saint like sympa
thies of those who•sutfered such mental anguish
by reason of the former.•
Why do our city—our leading Presses, permit
this political: hypocrite, to whine forth its sick
ning sentamentalism at the expense of truth? Is
it beneath their notice, or too• graceless to hope
for reformation?

CHAMPATON.—The average quantity of
genuine Champaign annually produced is
said to exceed fifty millions of bottles, a
quantity, however, quite insufficient to meet
the public demand, as the great number of
establishments for the production of spuri
ous champaign attest. I have heard it
stated on good authority, that in one es
ablishment alone, upward of 500,000 bot
tles of so-called champaign, made princi ,
pally from , the-stalks-of rhubarb, aro annu
ally sold. Some idea may be formed of
the relative consumption of real champaign
by different countries, from the fnllwing re
turn of the sales in 1843 of the Department
of the Marne:—The total quantity amoun
ted to 2,689,000 bottles, which were thus
distributed:—England and British India,
467,000; Russiannd Poland, 502,000; Ger
many, including Prussia and the Austrian
dominions,.439,ooo; U. States of America
and the West Indies, 400,000; Italy, 60,-
000; Belgium, 56,000; Holland, 30,000;
Sweden and Denmark, 30,000; Switzerland,
30,000; South America, 30,000; Spain and
Portugal, 20,000; Turkey, 5,000; and
France, 620,000 bottles.—Lilterary Ga

Mr. Webster's Disease.
The Boston Atlas has the following in
regard to the developments of the post
mortem examination of Mr. IVebster's bo-
We learn that a very careful, minute,
and accurate examination was made, under•
the eye of one of the best living morbid an
atomists, and the results carefully noted
down. We presume that they will be, in
duo time, carefully collated and made pub
lic, as they will be of equal interest to the
admirers of his intellectual greatness and
to the scientific world. We understand
that at a recent meeting of a medical soci
ety, some of the more striking results of
the examination were stated, and formed
the subject of an interesting scientific dis
cussion. The cerebral organs were of the
very largest known capacity, exceeding by
thirty per centunt the average weight of
the human brain; and with only two known
exceptions, (Cuvier and Dupuytren,) the
largest of which there is any record. It
is also worthy of remark, that a well-mark
ed effusion upon the arachnoid membrane
was discovered in these investigations, al
though there were no perceptible evidences
of any lieson during Mr. Webster's life
time. It is supposed to have been caused
by his severe fall from his carriage in
Kingston last spring. It is a remarkable
physiological fact, that an injury which
would have impaired the intellect, if not at
once caused death, in another, should in
this instance have been attended with so
little external evidence of so important an
injury to a vital organ.
THE Memphis Express gives an account
of a most extraordinary and fatal feud ex
isting in Gerrard county, Ky., between two
powerful families—the- Hills and the Ev
ans', and their adherents. At a recent in
vestigation, it appears that the quarrel
dates as far back as 1522, and never was
feud more bloodily or more unsparingly
followed up in the worst days of baronial
England or Scottish elanship, than has
been this between two prominent., and oth
erwise, highly respectable families, in our
own age and country. At a recent exam
ination, three of the Hills were tried, and
two of them ordered for commital. rive,
however, of the Evans' were in jail, and
it would not do to confine them together,
lest more blood=shed' would follow. While
the subfect was under debate, the Hills
escaped, and the Evans' made a desperate
but ineffectual attempt to break out of
prison. A reward is •offered for the ap
prehension of the Hills.
MR. WEBSTER'S LIBRARY.—The Libra
ry of Mr. Webster, says the Traveller, is a
magnificient room. On three sides of the
room, extending from the floor to the ceil
ing, were six splendid library cases, filled
with the choicest gems of literature and
the ablest productions of law. This favori
ito apartment of Mr. Webster is adorned
with the best portrait of 'himself that wo
have ever seen; a portrait of his son, Mej.
Edward Webster, who died in the Mexican
war, and also a fine portrait of Lord Ash
,burton: There is also in this room a bust
of Mr. Webster. Every room in the-house
is furnished in the most magnificient
and ornamented with busts and paintings
of the most distinguished men of all ages;•
many of whfch were gifts from tlie.persons
themselves to Mr. Webster. Mingled with
these were portraits of his children and
grand children. Among these was a small
profile, in ancient style, of Mr. Webster's
mother, under which, in Mr. Webster's
band-writing, were the following words :
"My excellent Mother. D. W."
THE YACHT AMERICA, on the 12th inst.,
.competed with the Swedish yacht Swerigo,
and defeated her by fully 20 minutes, the
course being round the nab light, Isle of
Wight;• but owing to fog and light winds,
the race was not exciting. Lord De Bla
quiere's challenge has been excepted for
£OOO by J. L. Craiger, Esq., with the
yacht Volante, atd for £lOOO by J. Mack
inioh, with the iron yacht Disowned—the
races to be from Erith, on the Thames, to
the Nora and back, and to come off when
the weather is suitable. '
[l:An insignificant lot of ground upon
the corner of Broadway and Wall street,
opposite Trinity church, was recently pur
chased by a Broadway hatter, for ninety
thousand dollars, and sold shorly after by
him to the Bank of America, for one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars; be
ing a clean profit of thirty-five thousand
dollars. The cunning rogue of a hatter,
anticipated the Bank in the purchase of the
lot, knowing that the Institution would
pay almost any prico to obtain possession
of it. Land in that part of Now York is
worth almost its weight in gold.

swer. Before being oiled all parts of ma
chinery requiring oil should be nicely clean
ed. By applying inferior oil, the glutinous
matter which it contains attracts dust, and
on exposure to•the action of the air, be
comes indurated, invariably wears saway the
cogs, Journals, screws, &e., to which it may
have been applied. To this cause wore

about sunset, and sing one of their melodies.
They sing the first verse, and then listen

so on, till they hear swer from the
fiihermen, who are th ided to their
homes.
