fit- We stated last week that Alex. Stewart,
the candidate fbr Register rt Recorder on the
mongrel ticket, had been a delegate to the late
Whig Convention. This is an error. Anoth
er Mr. Stewart was a delegate from the same
tlwnslair ; but Mr. Alex. Stewart was a eandi
d.tte in that Convention for the office of Regis
ter and Recorder.
lit 1848 John Scott Eeq, made numerous
stump speeches against Gen. Taylor, and by
way or displaying wit or ridicule, he usually
stated "an Administration Account of the late
Whig Party deceased." The parties interested
will remember and pay hint the balance of said
account on the second Tuesday in October.
atirMany . "lndependents" are anxious to
know whether Major Campbell intends his
brother to hold the prothonotary' office for one
term, for two terms, or for life; or whether he
intends to rotate hint from that into a Judge
ship or some other office. Do tell.
Via.. On Wednesday of last week, Col. J.
It. EDIE, the Whig candidate for Congress,
was in town ; he makes a favorable impression,
and there is no doubt but he will make an able
member.
BAD ACCIDENT.—On Tuesaay of last week,
a eon of Patrick Kelly of this place, aged about
nine years, being sent to carry his father's
dinner to him, made no attempt to cross the
Railroad when a train of freight cars were in
motion. One car passed over his leg imme
diately below the knee, mangling it in such a
horrible manner that it had to be amputated
above the knee.

iforThe September number of the People's
Journal is on oar table, laden as urinal with a
great deal of useful matter. It contains a new
form of dwelling house, being entirely round,
and said to cost less than the ordinary shaped
house. It contains a good treatise on clock- I
work, as well as the gearing of machinery &c..
also an Anti-freezing Water lifter, the most ap
proved Drawing Inatraiments, Ste., &c.
The Peoples Journal is published by Alfred
Beach, 86 Nassau St. N. Y., at the moderate
rate of one dollar a year. The whole volume
:!l be illustarted with over six hundred splen
did engravings.
The Glorious Magnanimity
The Journal of last week has a leader
which is a curiosity in its way. It is not only
murder, but burgling, assassination and rope
upon the LEAL subjects of her BritanieMajes•
ty Queen Victoria. Witness the following.
"Men who woo capable o f knowing the wish
es of Me people," and 'We stilt support those
good old conservative prinriples that HAS al
ways supported the ship of Stak.
The editor of the Globe is a literary Hyena!
He is not accounted a miolity man behind a
pen—was never accused of being a gentleman
or a scholar—but a full grown "animal" at
garbling language and seizing upon typograph
ical errors and the blunders of stupid type set
ters, and he is himself "of the number of those."
At this he is expert and assiduous, like a foil
grown pig at rooting "small potatoes" out of
the dirt. The above paragraph gives strung
evidence of this propensity.
Our paper is not free from errors—but on the
whole we think it not worse than our neighbors !
We had been sick for several weeks past, and
unable to attend to our business as closely as
if our health had been better. Added to this
affliction, we had another equally grievous, in
having a Locofoco managing our type, press
and paper. Being a graduate of the Globe of
fice, his Alma Mater is entitled to all the credit
of the typography of the Journal from the time
it came into our hands up to the day we dissol
ved our connection with him. Another of our
hands, hailing from the `•Standing Stone" office
was equally or more industrious in operating
against us. We put up, with the impudence and
ividelity of this youth until forbearance ceased
to be a virtue, and then also discharged hits
from our service. And now we expect to get
along better—and we trust they will try to do
better if they ever get employment again, and
always remember that it is dishonest and dis
honorable to take pay for working for another
with their hands, and working against his inte
rest with all their mind, and heart and tongue !
This being our situation then, and our paper
of the Gth inst. being issued without our seeing
the proof sheet, containing the arrticle so des•
tractive to Queen ViCtoria's “LEAL" subjects;
and the locofoco graduate of the Globe playing
editor himself, and saying editorially, "The ed
itor is not yet FIT for duty"—the Globe enjoys
its garbling propensity at our expense; but it
will not break us up.
The first idea that ocurs to us, on the seeing
the Globe's magnanimous paragraph, was, that
a man who undertakes to correct the errors of
another, ,could see well to it that he commits
no similar error in so doing. Will the Globe
please to define its word "LEAL ? Is it sy
nonymous with either of these words—real—
local—or legal; and of what gender—male—
FEMALE—or neuter, for really it is difficult to
ascertain what sort of subjects of her British
Majesty Queen Victoria have been burglarEL),
assassinated, RAVISHED and murdered by the
rascally hands in the Journal Office.
Our readers will please excuse us for occu
pying so large a space wills so small a subject.
Our ir.tention was merely to show the Globe
that some things can be dote 33 well as others
—and to teach our late eniployees that hon
esty is the best of policy.
The Mongrel Party,
It is generally remarked that the mongrel
ticket which has been concocted by Major
Campbell and Major Anderson, and adopted by
the mixed spirits of the Convention of the hth
inst., has fallen as flat as a flounder, It meets
with no favor any where except with its authors
and with the Globe; and that paper, speaking
the sentiments of the above named political
hacks, says of this ticket it is "the very best that
could have been made." This is not at all
strange. John P. Anderson must have John
Scott on the ticket for Assembly. and all is right,
no matter how the rest of the ticket is made up;
and Thos. P. Campbell must have hi; brother on
for Prothonotary, caring as little cur the fate
of Scott as Anderson can care about the remain
der of the ticket. So both having succeeded,
both are well pleased; and the Globe breathing
only in the atmosphere of Campbell and An.
demon, imagines they are "the people."
The knowing ones allege that Major Camp
bell has the best of the bargain. His candidate,
his brother, has the nomination for a county
office, and has not to run the gautilet through
the Whig camp of Blair county. Ile is a Whig
or has been a Whig, and his vanity prompts hint
to believe that he can get Whig votes: he is on
a Locofoco ticket and the Major is the com
mander in chief for the time being, of that party
in this county, and the Major's bumps of self
esteem assures him that the Locofocos, for hi s
sake, will vote for his brother: and moreover,
both count largely on the votes of a mysterious
order of beings who transact their business with
closed doors and darkened windows; and if
they were not mistaken in their hosts, his suc
cess would be certain. But in their eagerness
for the price they overshot the mark.
Such appears to be Maj Campbell's part of the
bargain, while on the other side Maj. Anderson
has the candidate for Assembly—a distinct of
fice—and Scott can at best but get the Locofo
co votes, he being a Locofoco and on a Locofo
ca ticket, and that too in a district composed of
two counties, in each of which the Whigs have
prevailing majorities ; and last, though not least,
the aforesaid commander in chief will afford no
material aid to Scott, but apply all his force to
the support of his brother. And is the event of
success (not fairly a supposable case) Major
Campbell would get the monopoly of the Pro.
thonotary's office for three years as he has had
the Register's &c for six, while Anderson (rather
a poor diplomatist) would only get the services
of Scott to promote his speculations for one
year.
But the rank and file murmur and refute to
ratify this treaty, and feel indisposed to go into a
contest under these; and they have just and good
ground of complaint ; for the claims of other
candidates, urged by their friends, could not be,
and were not, considered by the members of the
Convention who were brought to the Court
House and there locked op for an hour or two to
ballot for Scott and Campbell, and divide the rest
of the ticket as they pleased, esteeming that a
great privilege in these days of "Independents"
and “Know Nothings." The principle is oh.
jected to as wrung—the candidates are opposed
as men chosen for special purposes—home of
them the refuse of the Whig Convention, and
well .served by the Whig party 13 by gone
times, and still feeding ut the V ..ig crib.—
And altogether there is too much of a mixture
—enough to sicken any man or party—no
matter how “independent"—for it is a mixture
of rampant Locofocos, traitors, Whigs and
Know Nothings. The Convention, the ticket
and the party are alike in this respect—a bet
rogenions mass of corruption and discordant
, materials, from which arises a miasma which
and pure men cannot breath with safety
to themselves. The Independent party is a
thing DO uncomely that no one can admire it•
and it has prepared and presented to the pub'
lie a mixture so nauseous (stinking) that no
man of proper taste, be he Whig or Democrat,
can swallow it. Its effects upon the mind and
conscience is like Croton oil upon the bowels
of a buzzard. Hence it is discarded t and the
PEOPLE (not Majors Campbell Fuld Ander
ton) would rather return to the Hobensack and
Cod liver oil of last years campaign than put up
with this quack stuff issued forth by the ape.
cious name of "Independents."

Things to Be Remembered.
Free Democrats, remember, that in Ws late
speech at McConnelstown Gov. Bigl e r said,
that "ho had defended the compromise meas
ures of 1850, and lie would defeat, the Nebr..
ka bill, which was founded upon the same great
republican principle of self government."—
That Governor Bigler advocated and signed a
bill granting the use of our Prisons for the con
finement of fugitive slaves; that he recommen
ded an act permitting masters to carry their
slaves through Pennsylvania; that he pardoned i
Alberti the notorious kidnapper; that his offi
cial Journals in Philadelphia and Harrisburg
are strongly in favor of the Nebraska• Kansas
infamy; and that he has repeatedly said to lead
ing Democrats in Harrisburg, that he approved
of the principles of the measure.
Nebraska Democrats, remember, that on the
day of his renomination, Speaker Coast heard
Governor Bigler say, "Gentlemen, if the Dem
ocratic convention pass resolutions in favor of
the Nebraska bill. it must nominate another
'candidate, for I will not indorse and run upon
such a platform."
Regular Democrats, reinemher, that when a
Senator Governor Bigler voted against the can
didates nominated by the Democratic caucus,
for State Treasurer and State Printert—and
that lie appointed James Campbell Attorney
General, after his rejection by the Democracy
of Pennsylvania. lu these lie spit upon and
trampled under hi, .1, disciplinn and de
eisiens of his par, y, his own example
absolves regain, from all obligation
to vote for him.
Cass Democra(,, that William
Bigler previous to his ei,ction in 1851 promi•
~-.1, that if elected he would not interfere be.
I • • the friends of Cass and Buchanan, so
that the influence or his position should be
thrown in favor of either; yet with a panic per.
tidy, us soon as he woo elected, he gave all his
influence in favor J. Buchanan, and long before
his inauguration causal George R. Barrett to
be appointed delegate from Clearfield and in
structed for Buchanan; in consequence of
which Pennsylvania went fur Buchanan, which
occasioned the defeat of General Cass, made
Franklin Pierce President, and resulted in the
violent proscription of every Cass democrat in
Pennsylvania.
Aati,lesuit Democrats, remember, that Gov.
cruor Bigler was the means of placing James
Campbell at the head of the Post Office lle
parttnent ; that he has appointed several or
the same faith to important offices; and that
I he or his particular friends have selected Cad).
I°tics to preside over all the Democratic State
Conventions, since he was elected Governor.
Prohibitory Denwera to, remember, that the
two or three hundred thousand petitioners who
have yearly importuned the Legislature for a
Prohibitory law, have never been noticed in
Governor Bigler's annual messages; that he
retains the Eager Beer bill in his pocket , that
he will nut promise to sign a law the exact pro
visions of which he bas not seen; and that his
letter to the Prohibitory State Convention was
nut satisfactory.
Layer Beer and Liquor selling De nocrals,
remember, that Governor Bigler ha, a ',lien a
letter to Dr. John Patrick, pledging lionseir tu
sign any constitutional Prohibitory Lai, that
the Legislature may pass; and that he ha: al
ready signed three Lager Beer bills, for Ches
ter, Clarion and a part of 'nowt counties.
Landlords remember, that Gov. IliOcr du
ring the last. session of the Legislature, ,c:d a
bill making the law more stringent win',
ence to Public Houses, and with-held his
tire sanction from an act requiria.; Bre w,rs
and Lager Beer sellers to procure u u •nr
sea front the courts of quarter sesslaus us the
law now requires of you.
Taxpayers, remember, that the expenses of
the Commonwealth during the second year of
Governor Bigler's administration, nearly doub
t led those of the last year of Governor John
ston's term.
Justice-loving Democrats, remember, that in
1852, Governor Bigler signed a bill granting
an absolute and unconditional release, of the
right of resumption by the State, of the corpo
rate privileges granted by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, to the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company, whose members and Mock.
holders were citizens of Nero Fork; fur which,
in the language id the late Senator Muhlen.
berg, (who opposed the swindle,) the Company
were prepared to pay the State five hundred
thousand dollars, rather than lose their corp.
rhte franchise, if the State authorities had but
firmly and resolutely demanded it; and, could,
by a sale and transfer of them to others, have
realized more than a million.
ilutiDank Democrats, remember, that Gov
ernor Bigler has signed several acts, reducing
the State tax on the Banking capital of Penn.

about $360,000 per:.:....c:.. e..x for county pur

Naturalized Democrats, remember, that Gov

Judge Pollock at Pittsburg.
One of the largest public meetings ever held
in Western Pentisylvauia took place at Pitts
burg on Tuesday evening last, having been
summoned to hrar an address front the Hon.
James Pollock, t le• Whig candidate for Gay
ertior. Larimer presided.—
extr, front the Gazette the subjoined
accosts !iie weeting:
Gen. 1.:.!.,,t• clime forward and said he was
glad to lit ..,,. many of his fellow-citizens; it
was, an evi leoce that they intended to vote
right this fall. The country was in a condi
tion to need the aid of strong hands, and it
was gratifying to witness such a demonstra
tion of their determination to vindicate cor
rect principles in the administration of the
goverment. He called on Hon. U. Darragh
to open the meeting with a speech.
Mr. Darragh said he understood his task to
be to simply introduce the orator of the even
ing; he would therefore present to the meet
in; Hon. James Pollock, who came forward
nod was received with three hearty cheers.
Judge Pollock, after gracefully alluding to
his former visit to this city twenty years ago,
and 'to the many ehan,,,, wrought within that
time, referred to his owe position as a candi
date as one which he had not sought, but had
not felt at liberty to decline. He alluded to
the leading question before the people involved
in the management of the public works. Ho
was uncompromisingly in favor of their sale at
the earliest possible moment, as the only
means of reducing and ultimately extingui,
Mg the public debt and the abolition ,
State taxes. They were now a heavy li•
upon the people, costing hundreds or thou
annually more that' they yield, and wet..•
sides, a source of corruption, which, as p.
eta and Pennsylvanians, it is our duty to Ac.
rid of.
Mr. Pollock then recurred to the question
of Education. He eulogized our present sys
of Common Schools. It extended the bless
ings of education to all—rich and poor, high
and low, white and black. It was a great aye.
tem, and great because it made education com
mon to all. Let it. remain common. No di
vision of the school fund. (cheers). Let it re
main intact, that the people may proudly
point to its glorious results; and exclaim—
" These are nay jewels!" But if the Prows' ant
or Catholic Church shall succeed in procuring
a division of the school fund, all these results
will be lust, and hatred, ill-will, biekerin4 and
bigotry take their place. I stand here, said
Judge Pollock, as the advocate and defender
of Civil and Religious Liberty, notwithstand.
tug the vile slanders heaped upon ate; but if
my church or any other church chooses to en
ter the political arena and make itself a politi

The 1 . 1111, 1 1 11,0 , 14 110 n;:1 from the S:ate ;it
depends upon the nil of a higher nod Almigh•
to power ; and while the State needs the aid of
all gond citizens. it owes it to Itself to keep
itself separate from all connection with reli•
;rims propagandism.
Judge Pollock then proceeded to dwell at
much length upon the Nebraska bill and the
questions arising out of it. He sketeliell the
course of the founders of the government in
preventing the extension of slavery by passing
the ordinanee of 1787, the beneficent effects of
which are inealettlable. He deplored the de•
parture from the policy of that onlinntieed
which commeneed in the acquisition of Lottisi•
ann. in 1803, in the admission of Missouri as
a Slave Stele, in recognizing slavery smith of
:IR ‘let. 30 minutes. in the annexation of Texas,
and iu the villattons compromise of 1830. He
drew a vivid picture of the evils of slavery. the
existence of which he deplored. and proceeded
to consider the bearing of the Nebraska bill
upon the extension of the system. The bill
was attempted to be thrust. down our throats
upon the rediculous plea of popular sovereign.
tv I" He was the friend of " popular FIOVM ,
eignty;" but the principle of the Nebraska
' bill was very mockery. It set popular tower•
eignty at litter defiance, and instead of giving
the people the right to legislate upon the sub•
jest of slavery as they please, it, actually and
really prevents them from prohibiting or nb
ishing it. It was a simple scheme for the ex•
tension of slavery under a very flimsy '
and as sorb it deserved all the condetnnali,m
that ran be heaped upon it. Judge Po
enter:ml upon this point at much length, and
atter a general survey of the whole slavery
question. he concluded with an eloquent refer
ence to the present commotions in Europe,
which he trusted would eventuate in the down
fall of oppression and tyranny there. and be
followed legitimately here by the bestowment
of liberty upon every human being existing
within the bounds of our glorious Union.
Judge Pollock retired amid the lout:plaudits
of the vast concourse before him. He was
followed by Monton McMichael, Esq., of Phila
delphia, who delivered a most eloquent speech
on the aspects of the slavery question, which
we regret we have not the room now to sketch.
Col. Curtain, of Centre, !natio also a few re
, marks, nod was followed by Hon. Andrew
Stewart, of Fayette. The meeting then ad
journed.
The attendance throughout the meeting was
remarkably large. It was an enthusiastic out
pouring of the people, and gave unmistakeable
token of the deep interest taken by the masses

Governor Bigler and Prohibition.
We see it announced that in sense of his
eeehea at the North, particularly in strong
an peranee localities. Cor. Bigler defined his
,:tion on the question of Prohibition to the
islimction of litany Temperance men." If
be true, we have only to say that " many
the temperance teen" are very easily satiA.
d. It is an easy matter for Gov. Bigler to
say that he would sign any constitutional law
that the Legislature might pass ; but our
friends should remember that the Governor
has nerer,on any occasion, admitted the
ditutionality 11' a Prohibitory law. On the
contrary, he holds the opinion that while the
Legislature have the power to control and regn•
lute the manufacture rind sale of spirituous
liquors, a lame of total prohibition is unconsti
tutional! In view of this fact, therefore, tem
perance men may rest assured that no law of
prohibition such ns the friends of the measure
desire, can or will receive Gov. Bigler's sanc
tion. The people may approve it by a large
popular vote, and elect a Legislature favorable
to the measure, bet in the event of Gov. Rig
lees reelection, it would certainly be defeated
by the interposition of the Executive veto, on
the ground of unconstitutionality. He has
not, will not, and dare not say that he believes
such a prohibitory law as the temperance men
demand, •to he unconstitutional! Let this
question be put to his Excellency, and see how
artfully he will "ihxlge" it I To those temper.
ance men who have been imposed upon by the
private letters and assurances, and public
speeches of Gov. Bigler at the North, we have
only to say that here and in Philadelphia,
Reading, Pottsville, Lancaster and other lager
hoer localities, he is only supported as the
"lager beer candidate," in consideration of his
promised veto of the lager beer bill. The
question is, will temperance men co-operate
with the lager beer sellers in the election of
a man who, while he is hostile to Prohibi
tion, resorts to deception and fraud to secure
the votes of friends of the measure ? Gover
nor Bigler's most zealous adherents are to be
found in the rum shops and lager beer saloons,
and his reelection would be heralded all over
the Union as a defeat of Prohib:tiou I if
temperance men would prevent such a con
summation, the only way to do it effectually,
is to support a 1111111 for Governor who believes
in the amstibitionality of a Prohibitory law,
and who steeds pledged to sign such a
approved by the people and - passed by the
Legislature. Gov. Bigler says the Legislature
have the power to control or regulate the mann
facture and sale of spirituous liquors. JANES

says the Legislature have the power to pro.

Tux PUBLIC Wons.—The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company having declined purehash,:4
the Public Works of the State, tho administra
tion journals are exulting over the defeat of
their sale. The Pittsburg Post, the special or•
gun of Gov. Bigler in Western Pennsylvania.
says:—"We have hitherto opposed the sale of
the Main Line fur reasons already assigned,and
we are just as much pleased that the sale is de.
fented for want of bidders as we would have
been to have seen the bill for the sale defeated
for want of voters."
Not content with chuckling over the frustra
lion of the almost unanimous wishes of the peo
ple, the Post has the hardihood to tecommend
that the State shall now proceed to build a rail
road `•along tile entire line of the canal, from
the Susquehanna to the Allegheny." It says:
“The State is already involved to a large ex•
tent for public improvements• We propose to
go a little further, and teach those who denounce
the •'stupid old Commonwealth" that she knows
the value of her own resources.
Taxpayers! are you prepared at one swoop
to add 20,000,000 to the public debt of our tat
ridden State 1 If so, go to the polls in October

Want to See that Private Letter.
The Berko County Democratic Press, edited
by Col. pyres, formerly a Representative is the
Legislature. speaks thus plainly about that
toperuuce letter of Gov. Bigler that Rev. John
ushers and Dr. John Patrick are currying
ain their breeches pockets. The Demo.
of "old Burks" don't want to be humbeg-
L stud they are determined that the Govern-
Al define his position unequivocally one
or the other. The Press says:
•• The Governor's fi•ieneG county hare
ever considered hint an oponent o/• a prohibitory
liquor law. It is now claimed that he has
made a confinement at the Rev. John Chain.
hers, who is the life of the liquor law party, and
who declares himself a personal and political
friend of Gov. Bigler. It would therefore be
but simple justice on his part to publish the
letter, and allow the Governor's friends to see
it. We can assure Gov. Bigler's friends other
places, that there are many Democrats in Berks
county who wish to 800 letter before they ad
vance.further, and who will judge Gov. Bigler
by his own merits, and not by what the fanatic
C . hanibers wishes to say of his own future acts
and intentions. Neither will they be misled by
such an editorial on Muir of gr. Chambers
as the Gazelle puts tburth. They wish to know
in plain terms. whether the present incunthentis
for or against a prohibitory law."

Tribute of Respect,
At a meeting of the students ut La Fayette
College, Easton, Pa.,.held September 9th, the
following preamble and resolutions were mum.
imously ,1 , 1, , 1,red:
WitEREAs, it has pleased an all•wiie Provi,
deuce to remove from our midst an esteemed
friend and tidluw•student, EDWARD A. \Vann.
Tux, Therefore:
licsolved, That by his removal we have sus
tabled the loss of one, who, by his generous
and honorable bearing, gentlemanly demeanor,
friendly conduct, virtuous habits and amiable
disposition, had endeared himself to 118 as a
class-mate and companion.
Raolved, That from our association with the
decerised during his connection with Coliege,
we feel a saddened pleasure in thin being able
to tender our sympathies and condolence to the
family and friends in this their melancholy be
reavement.
Resoteed, That the dispensation, which has
struck down so unexpecledly, one who was iu
the enjoyment of robust health and gave prom.
ise of a vigorous and, noble manhood. calls on
us to feel the extreme uncertainty of life, and
in the days of youthful hope, to remember the
Creator tied Redeemer to whom he had conse
crated himself in earlier rears. •
Resolved, That a copy ofthese
„resolutions
be sent to the bereaved thinily and friends and
that they he forwarded for publication, in the
Huntingdon and Easton papers, Presbyterian
and Banner.

The author of the infamous Nebraska swin

at Chicago on the 2d inst. The tneeting was
largely attended, and was held in the open air.
As soon as Mr. Douglas ascended the stand a
tremendious noise was made, which entirely
drowned his voice. His friends made earnest
efforts to restore quiet, but in vain; after sever•
al inelfectuel attempts to obtain a hearing, at
about half past 10 o'clock Mr. Douglas was
'eutnpelled to leave the stand. There was
much excitement, but no other' disturbance.—
A large majority of those present were opposed
to speking. He was followed to the hotel by a
large crowd, which then quietly dispersed. The

among a party or three [tundra' laborers, near
Scale's Mound, employed on Illinois Central
Railroad, and more than half of them have
since died.
DISCUSSION BETWEEN MR. BUCHANAN AND
[Mtn CLAHENDON.—IL is said that the recent de
, rttehes recieved from Mr. Buchanan disclose
iui portant facts. A sharp correspondence has
taken place on Central American affairs. Lord
Clarendon re-asserts most extreme Brittish prs
tentions in that quarter, and our minister states
the position of the Cuited States, us defined by
the Clayton Buller treaty, to be immoveable,
and that the British protectorate over the col.
onies and settlements under it, must be aban
doned.

VERMONT ELEUTIONS.—The returns indicate
that the IVhig, anti-Nebraska and temperance
men have elected their Governor, Lieut. Gov
ernor, three members of Congress, and both
branches of the Legislature, thus securing . a U.
S. Senator opposed to the present admintstra•

Minister, stated before the Anti-Nebraska Con.

of it, we are 1.. .surprised that President Piere's
"Nebraska and Whiskey" Marshall for Indiana
should be out of humor. Ina Card,in a locefe.

clergy "itinerant vagabonds." and says:

We should think all classes now ought to
vote for Bigler—sine.: he is in favor of all
sides of every question. In the first place, his
organ at Harrisburg declares hint opposed
to the Prohibitory law, and his letter to the
Prohibitory Convention leads to the same COl,
elusion. Next the Rev. John Chambers as
sures the Temperance men that his friend Big.
ler will sign a constitutional Prohibtor Law.
Now he vetoes a bill requiring retailers of malt
liquors from the Court. And in March and
April last he signed two bills of a precisely
similar character, applying only to the county
of Chester, and parts of the county of Tioga.
Thus favouring local laws and opposing gener•
al ones for the same object. Did ever a Gov
ernor involve himself in such a maze of incon•
siatencies and contradictions?
But of what importance is it, what he does
now? The people are thoroughly disgusted
with his course, and are waiting with as much
patience as possible for the 10th of October,
whit they will bury him under such a load of pa
per pellets that he will no more be hearth of.
