Ser In this week's paper we publish a com
munication over the signature of William Chris
ty, Esq., of Alexandria, to which we invite the
attention of the Whigs. Mr. Christy denies
that there is any truth in the report that was
circulated before the election, to the effect that
he opposed Mr. Maguire and supported Whar
ton. We always did think it was a queer
charge against an old and faithful Whig like
the Squire.
The Alleghenian,
Our article in the last Journal, in speaking
of the course this chaste sheet pursued towards
Cot. White, during the late campaign, evident.
ly struck the little Berkshire editor right over
the nose. It certainly made him "froth at the
mouth" most prodigiously, judging from the
language and tone of his would-be reply in
the "Alleghenian" of last week. And this
very circumstance alone, if we had nothing
else, is sufficient to satisfy any man that what
we said of him is true.
And we know all we said is true, and there
are hundreds of Whigs in the district who
think just as we do. The little Berkshire
needn't attempt to evade or smother the truth,
by the use of such language as his article con•
tains, in which be has shown himself to be a
complete blackguard—a malicious slanderer,
and a wilful liar. But we have no desire to
bandy words with such a creature, and we will
therefore pass him by.
Fuller's Political Class Book of the State
of Pennsylvania.
This is the title of a new work, containing
about one hundred and twenty pages, just pub
lished by Messrs. E. C. & J. Biddle, in Phila.
delphia.
We have examined its contents and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it an excellent produc
tion, and one well adapted to the purposes in
tended. It should be immediately introduced
into all our Schools and Academies, because a
work, such as this, imparting information in
reference to the nature of our political institu
tions and the general principles of governmen
tal power, has been much needed.
CoNsomerioN.—A union of the State Journal
and Pennsylvania Telegraph is about to take
Place. Both papers will be issued from the
same office tomorrow, but after that only one,
under the title of Pennsylvania Telegraph and
State Journal, conducted by Col. John J Pat
torson. The union of these two papers will
make one of the very best establishments in
the State, out of the cities, and it will make
just such a Whig Journal as should be pub
lished at the seat of government. Col. Patter
son, the Editor, is fully qualified to make it
worthy a very extensive patronage, 'and we
hope his labors will be duly appreciated. He
is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and
his talents and industry are such as to com
mand universal admiration. So, long may ho
wave and flourish like a "green bay tree."

ced between Russia and Turkey, though the
indications are, from the latest accounts, that
they will soon. Turkey has made an open de

Truth.
Truth requires no definition. We need not
say that it is conformity to thy nature of things,
or employ any other phraseology to designate
its characteristics. Such is the human consti
tution--an bas God made us, that wo do vio
lence to our nature, if we do not seek after, ac
quire and apply it. The history of philosophy
is a history of our race, seeking after truth, and
the greatest philosophers in ancient times, such
as Socrates and Cicero, were those who were
most ardent, sincere in the search, and most
honest in the application of it. What is it
that has rendered illustrious men of ancient
and modern times, given them not an epheme
ral but everlasting renown ? Is it not their
love of truth and the toils that they endured to
obtain it? Do not the volumes, which record
it, triumph over all changes, and command an
abiding and elevated position in the estimation
of those, who occupy the chief places in the de
partments of human life ? An unparalleled
teacher, on a great occasion, when lie witness
ed a good confession, declared that his mission
was sacred to the interests of truth, and with
an extraordinary sagacity he resolves what°,
er of moral excellence is developed by man,
under the tuition of insipid communications,
to the love of truth; and whatever of impurity
and crime may gather upon the rejection of
the accredited messages of heaven, to a hatred
of it. Fortified, in our estimate of its value,
by authority so unquestionable, we proceed to
remark that truth in accessible to us. We
have faculties to acquire it, facilities for the use
of them, and it is poured with a most munifi
cent band, all around us, and opened to the
preception of all, who dwell on the earth. We
can approach matter and mind, we can exam
ine and learn what are their properties; we can
penetrate into their interior and expose, their
recondite history; we can trace their relations
and mark the phenomena which they exhibit,
whether occupying their primitive position or
assuming new ones under our direction. We
can trace effects to their causes, and announce
the results of agents with which we have fa
miliarized ourselves. Even mind itself, though
so different from that with which we are inti-
mate, so inscrutable in its essence and subtle
and rapid in its phases, that it requires a most
practiced eye to perceive and to follow it, nev
ertbeless is compelled to yield its treasures to
enrich our conceptions. Truth in the depart
ment of morals is susceptible of evolution by
the instrumentality of dialectics, and still more
within our roach, through the medium of our
sacred books. The Creator of the Universe is
revealed to our vision through a double medi
um: be is apparent in the glories of his crea
tion, by which we are surrounded, and of which
we are a most important and instructive part,
and in the compositions of those extraordinary
men in whose mental operations a supernatur
al energy mingled and worked truths, such as
God alone could teach. It is not important
that we should advert to truth in various other
forms in which it is accessible to man. It
would, too, be a work of supererogation to at•
tempt the proof of the capacity of man to man.
ter it. Though by no means disposed to advo•
sate the Helvetian theory of the equality of
man considered intellectually, we do claim for
our race, in all cases in which, through some
inexplicable derangement of the cerebral struc
ture, a drivelling idiocy has not been entailed,
sufficient rationality or mental capacity to grasp
and hold, if not with Newtonian energy, yet
with some, the floating verities which are cir
cling continually around us.
That the truths, presented to us in the exact
sciences, may more easily glide into some
minds than others, cannot be questioned by
those who have learned that such men have
lived as Newton and Pascal, who intuitively
obtained what others, not unlcnown to fame,
have been compelled to study; but that any one
is so positively obtuse : that a mathematical idea
can never enter his pericranium, we are slow to
believe. The same may be said of other stu
dies. Whatever is level to our capacity, WC
may learn. Wo were made fur truth; and
though it ms sometimes seem to flee from us,
we may win it back by proper appliances.
The question, why ant I here 9—one more
interesting than which it would not be easy to
ask, and which never emenatod from a mouth
that was not guided by reason—a question,
which, when originated with any thing like an
approach to a sense of its importance, involves
a mental condition of high promise and deser
ving of the•attention of all who profess a cred-
itable philanthropy, is answered by the reply,
you are here, surrounded by the proofs of the
divine existence and perfections, with truth in
multiform aspects inviting your attention, with
pre-eminent physical and mental endowments,
that you may imbue your minds with it, put
in suitable exercises the energies of your souls,
cultivate moral purity through the sanctifying
power of religion, and render happy your fel
low beings by the communication of your trea
sures whether they be intellectual, moral or
physical.
To search for truth, to obtain it, to apply it,
to diffuse it—these are the great task imposed
by a wise Creator on a richly endowed creature.
This is our birth-right. Unworthy is he of the
name man—unworthy the privileges of civili
zation and religion, whose heart does not beat
high in resolves to fulfill his elevated destiny
and to achieve victories over ignorance, sensu
ality and sin. 'At the shrine then of truth
should we be assiduous worshippers, and for it
should we search as for hid treasures. We
may think with the ancients that it is in the
bottom of a well, but if we appreciate properly
its importance, we will be willing to descend
and obtain it,
I hold him to boa man and no other, howev
er strong his pretensions from his corporeal or
ganization, who carries with him a conviction,
that in the economy of life he is bound by ev
ery motive strong and holy, to expend his en
ergies, not in sensuality and excess, but in the
pursuit of truth. Wherever he can get it, he
should go. He ought not to think it too lobo
lions to search for it in distant lands, if it can
not be procured at home. It was not unusual
in an earlier period of the world for the friends
of truth to go abroad into distant lands in
search of it, to travel amongst the nations to
learn their wisdom, and to devote years to la
bors of thin kind.

The Bribery Business.
We noticed in the Hollidaysburg Standard
of last week, a card over the signiture of Geo.
8. King. of Johnstown, in which it is stated
that "when informed by Mr. Glasgow that a
large amount of money had been offered him,
and that he could get $lOOO, I replied that
from principle, I could not sanction a course
of the kind."
Now this is a wilful and malicious perver•
tion of the truth and Mr. King knows it too.—
In this card he says nothing about his having
approached us, after dinner, at the gate in the
rear of the American Hotel, at Hollidaysburg,
and offered us money if we would vote for him.
Nor does he say any thing about his having
voluntarily offered to pledge himself to no, to
procure us an office at Harrisburg, providing
he should receive the nomination and be elec.
ted Senator. Nor does he state we immediate.
ly answered, that we wanted no office, and
that if we had been inclined to take money for
such political purposes we could have had a
considerable sum in our own county before the
nominations.
On all these points Mr. Bing is particularly
silent. We never told him "that a large
amount of money had been offered us and that
we could get a $1000." The only man living
that ever did offer us money to vote for him
for Senator was Mr. King, and it matters little
to us whether ho denies it or not—his denial
will not affect the truth of it. If he thinks he
has accomplished any thing in Huntingdon
county by the publication of such a card, in a
locofoco paper, ho had better come and see.—
The man is evidently an aspirant to office and
he wants to keep his way clear, but let him
once come before the people, and he will dis
cover when all is over that there will be no oc
casion for him to inquire, "who struck Billy
Patterson ?"
The Whigs in this county well understand
the motives of the individuals who have cir
culated this report; and it is a subject that has
given us personally very little thought. We
care not a single farthing about it, because we
know that it is false, and we are confident that
our friends and the Whigs generally do not be
lieve it. In our action as Conferee we did
what we honestly believed was for the interests
of the Whig party, and it matters not to us
now what our enemies say to the contrary. If
they felt satisfied the charge was true, why did
they not prove it, when we called on them to
do so, or suffer themselves to be denounced as
"liars, villains and cowardst" We consider
the very fact of their not being able to do this,
a complete and glorious vindication of our in
nocence in the matter, and the personal slan
der that was attempted to be heaped upon us
on account of it, has justly recoiled on the
heads of its authors. The prosperity of the
Journal, during the past summer, we know, as
do many others, has been a very sore 'mot in
the political eye of some, but it is a circum
stance of no moment to us. The people well
understand the whole thing, and as long as we
have them on our side, what have we to fear?
Up to this time we have endeavored to din
charge our duty to our party and ourself, as
faithfully, openly and /maim as we knew how,
and we know the Whigs generally have appro
ved our course. So we intend to let the mali-
COM SLANDERER-the TRADUCER of private
character—the false CALMIYIATOR-and the
wilful LTAR—all take their course—they will
meet with their reward at the proper time, and
they will discover too in the course of events
that they have had their labor all for nothing.
A Prohibitory Law.
The public mind has become so much exci
ted on the subject of Prohition, that, if the
next Legislature does not take some action in
reference to the matter, the members will be
guilty of great dereliction of duty. Because
there seems to be now but one opinion, on the
part of both temperance and anti-temperance
men, and that is, to have a low so shaped as
to get an expression of the people through the
ballot box on the subject. We hope such a
law will be passed by the coming Legislature,
even if they should feel themselves compelled
to authorise a special election for the express
purpose. By so doing the matter would be ta
ken oust of politics, and a fair and honest test
would be had on the question. Let there then
he one universal effort on the part of the whole
people to secure the passage of such a law and
if Prohibition wins the day. vexation of spirit
will pass away; bat if Hobensack gains the vie.
tory, it will also be fair, and Prohibition must
yield, at least, for some time to come.
Correction.
MR EDITOR :—Hnving left home on the
morning after the late election, and did not
return until yesterday, during which time I was
employed on the mountains, in running the
lines between Huntingdon and Centre, and
Centre and Mifflin Counties, and had no means
or opportunity of hearing from, or ascertaining
the result of said Election, until I was on my
way home on the day before yesterday. Owing
to which I now at this late date, wish to occu
py a small space in the columns of your paper,
to correct a few envious reports that appear
to be in circulation through the county, in rela
tion to the position assumed by me in the late
Election. And in the first place,it was reported
that I received a bribe or a large nmonnt of
money from Alexander White, the then Candi
date for the State Senate, with directions to
keep an open Barr on the day of the Election,
awl electioneer for him, &e. And in the sec
ond place it was reported that I opposed the
election of Jame Maguire, and supported the
election of S. S. Wharton, and that I burned or
destroyed the tickets with James Unwires
name on, and inserted in their place tickets
with S. S. Wharton's name on, &c. In answer
to said charges, I would beg leave to state that
after the nominations were made and Col. S.
S. Wharton was defeated in the Convention, I
did not support him either directly or indirect
ly, and that individual is not living who ever
heard me say that I would vote for Col. S. S.
Wharton under the then existing circumstan
ces, nor is that individual living that I ever
directed, asked, insinuated, conversed with,
either openly or secretly, or that I furnished,
or gave out a single 'Wharton ticket, on the
day of the election, or any other day or that I
exercised ass influence, over any Persons, in
favor of S. S. Wharton, and against James
Maguire, &c. But I pursued a straight forward
coarse in support of the regular Whig ticket,
and the whole Whig ticket, and voted the same
as I undevintingly have done for the last twen
ty years. and I have the first ticket with James
Maguire'e name on to burn, or destroy, or in
any way deface yet, or to direct the distribu.
tion of any of them, or to insinuate that it was
my will or wish that a single one of them
should he burnt. destoyed, or defaced, and all
of the reports shove mentioned are as false as
the heart in which the same was matured, and
are a mass of notorious base lies, and I believe
were fabricated for design, and maliciously
placed in circulation.

For the Journal,
MR. EDITOR:—ShaII we have a Prohibatory
Liquor Law ? This is the question now, and
it should demand the serious consideration of
every philanthropist and tax-payer in the Com.
monwealth.
It does seem to Inc that party politics has
became so much mixed up with the whiskey
influence, that nothing can be expected front
either side of the political schemers,on the sub
ject of Prohibition. The Whigs are afraid of
it, and the Locofocos regard its touch as dead
ly as that of the lipas.
But it is not a Whig question, nor is it a Lo.
cofoco question; if it is, one of the parties must
evidently be the advocate and supporter of
drunkard making.
There are, it is well known, strong advocates
of the temperance cause in both parties, cense•
quently it belongs exclusively to neither. But
while neither will lay hold, the fires of the de•
structive pestilence are spreading—rumshops
are multiplying—gilded saloons to ensnare the
unweary are constantly presenting their fatal
allurements to the young and the gifted—and
intellect is falling prostrate before the torpcd
touch of the facinating foe. We have much
evidence of this in our own county—and are
there not some living proofs of it even in your
own town ?
But these are not the only evils the menu
fitcture and sale of ardent spirits entail on the
community. It has been proved to be the
cause of most of the pauperism and crime in
our land. It fills our streets with drunkards—
our Jails and Penitentiaries with poor crimi
nals, and supplies the gallows and the gibbet
with hundreds of unfortunate victims. Thns
children are subjected to beggary and orphan
age—and widows made to weep in hopeless
penury and degradation, whilst burning tears
fall on brows of unconscious innocence, as
they cling to bosoms now dead to hope.
The young man of promise and education
staggers—reels—falls—the man of business
becomes negligent—irrosolute—indolent—bank
rupt—the aged is sotted in his three score
years, and the veneration due his gray hairs
yields to the ribaldry and jest of thoughtless
boys. Society witnesses the sacrifice of its
dearest interests—the industry—the morality
—the intellect of the community—all share
the blight of this woeful pestilence.
The great object of government is the pro
tection of the people; but where is that prates.
tion so long as the State sanctions the abomni
able traffic of liquor? Let it be blotted from
our statute books that it mar no longer dis
grace them. Let the voice of the people from
every town, township and borough, be loud in
favor of its suppression, and if the next Legis-
lature heeds not that call by petition, let us re
solve to speak in tones on the day of the next
annual election, that will make corrupt parti
zans tremble, and cast forever in the shade, de
ceitful, designing politicians.
Friends of humanity, industry and prosperi
ty, be active--be diligent. UNION.
A Dying African's Prayer.
The Term; ni Chronicle publishes the follow
ing dying prayer of a native of the Grebo tribe,
West Africa, who was converted two years ago,
and died in January last. Rev. Mr. Wilson
overheard the prayer and wrote it down, as near
ly as possible, in the exact words. As the last
words were uttered he expired:
"Lord JesuS, I thank thee for that everlas
ting salvation which thou bast procured for us
wsih thy precious blood. I bless thee that thou
didst put it into the hearts of thy missionary
servants to come and make known that salva
tion to the dark-minded. inhabitants of Africa;
and especially do I thank thee that I was led
by thy Spirit to accept of that salvation which
is bestowed upon poor Africans, without mo
ney and without price.
'Keep thy missionary servants among us in
all their trials and difficulties; give them strong
faith to endure all the diseouragements that
may meet them in the performance of their du
ties, and make them the instruments of leading
many poor heathens to the Lamb of God that
taketb away the sins of the world. Have mer
cy upon tne Grebo people. Thou knowest
that they have for a long lime hardened their
hearts against the gospel. But thou host pow
er to convert them, and I pray that power may
be put forth. To thy mercy I especially com
mend my wife and child. May they be conver
ted to the Lord Jesus, and though I shall see
them no more in this world, grant that we may
meet in heaven. May the Moinge people, who
have had the Gospel preached to them, turn to
the Lord Jesus. Remember in great mercy
these friends around me, who have been so
kind and attentive to me during my sickness.—
May they be prepared to follow me to a better
world above. I thank thee that thou host sus
tained me in this painful sickness, and that I
am comforted with the assurance that my sins
are all forgiven me for Christ's sake. And now
that my pains and sorrows are drawing to an
end, Lord Jesus, I commit my spirit into thy
hands."
THE TELEGRAPH AND ELECTRICITY APPLIED
TO WAR.—Ono of the recent experiments in
Europe is the application of electricity and the
electric telegraph to the purposes of war. It is
stated that during the field day at Olmutz, on
the 26th, at which the Emperors of Russia and
Austria were present, a sham fight on a grand
scale, the siege of the citadel, including the ap
plication of electricity on the most recently ap
proved principles of ignition and combustion,
constituted the most important of the mancem
vres which were practised. A Vienna paper
describes three omnibus looking vehicles which
were in the camp, each containing a complete
electric telegraph apparatus, with a contrivance
for layiis an insulated wire along the ground
by the mere locomotion of the vehicle, the wire
being so protected as to remain uninjured by
the pressure of the heaviest artillery passing
over it. By this means orders are to be instan
taneously conveyed from the Emperor's station,
and that of the chief commanders, to troops at
almost any distance on the field of the rnancen
vres. The application of electricity or magne
tism to the purpose of war may be no less use
ful than they are shown to be by every day's
experience in the peaceful arts and pursuits of
life.
THE NORTH WEST PASSAGE.—IMpOrtROt des.
patches have been received by the English Ad.
mirality, from Commander M'Clure, who sailed
in December, 1846, in search of Sir John
Franklin. No traces of Sir John Franklin
have been discovered; but Commander M'Clure,
in a letter dated the Bay of Mercy, Baring's
Island, April, 1853, announces his success in
accomplishing that which has so long been a
mysterious problem, namely, the North West.
ern Passage. He is going home by Baffin's
bay, having actually sailed round the American
continent through the Arctic Ocean. Natives
have been discovered farther north than ever

lumps, and the nativcp, who were friendly,
were much amused at seeing the sailors run to
pick up the lumps of metal with which they
edge their spears. Commander M,Clure's yes.

Ott Senwo.—A new petroleum. or oil spring,
has been discovered in Western Virginia, near
the forks of the Hughes river. It was found in
sinking a well for salt: Instead of salt, howev
er, the spring commenced blowing out miner
al oil, and has, so continued to furnish it at in-
tervals up to the present date—about fon:teen
gallons of oil being. produced every fifth day.—
An account which appears in the Christian
Advocate and Journal says that the stratum
yielding the oil lies parallel with the bed of the
river, is generally near five feet thick, and is
reached in various places by sinking pits thirty
feet into the earth. The writer thus speaks of
the oil:
"The oil, in its natural state, adheres to the
sand, and can only be separated from it by
washing the sand in water. The sand is wash.
ed by sinking a small pit as deep as the bed of
oil; the pit soon fills with water, when men go
into it with broad hoes, and wash the sand by
pulling it to them and pushing it from them.—
' When this is done, the oil loses its affinity for
the sand and immediately rises on the top of
the water, it is then gathered by a large ladle
and pat into large cisterns or hogsheads, where
it purifies itself; it is then put into barrels and
sent to market. Some pits fifteen feet square
have yielded one hundred and thirty-five bar
rels o f oil, but all are not alike rich. The oil
is valuable for weakness in the breast, sprnins,
cuts and bruises; it burns very well in lamps,
and may be used in dressing leather, instead
of fish oil, but makes the leather porous."
fai' We all have our little troubles. There
is an elderly , gentleman down east, who can
boast that he has seen every President from
Washington to Pierce—except one—namely,
General Taylor; and the existence of this el
derly gentleman is embittered by the reflection
that he neglected to see General Taylor when
he passed through New York, though be might
easily have done so. How often does repen
tance come too late I
