Our position as members of the once great
Whig Party, which we so clearly defined its our
last issue of the • harnal, does not evidently
meet with the concurrence and approbation of
a number of individuals who once boasted of
being ranked and numbered in the files, but
who have latterly deserted the cause, and em
braced an nbortion in the hideous shape of
with the Locoloco Party. We must rim:
plify our remarks still more, and we hope, we
may now he clearly understood. These re
marks are called forth by a paper signed by
someforty•three individuals, residents, we are
informed, of tho town of Petersburg, mid its
immediate vicinity, propounding questions of
similar import to those we published and an
swered in the last issue of our paper.
First, then, every opposition to any action
or actions of a Conception, should have a good
foundation. Have we a foundation for our
opposition to the course pursued by the late
so-called Whig County Convention? Rend the
truth, and let your conscience answer, if you
are unbiased by prejudice ; if you are tan honest
man. You know that a Whig County Conven
tion was called by the Chairman of the County
Committe. You know dint it met, denounced
Mc Know Yog ings, and ENTERED mro A CO
ALITION wren Tile LOCOFOCO PARTY! I You
know all this well, and now do you ask "why
don't you support the Convention ?" Was there
no other reason, the simple fact that a `Tusion"
was agreed upon, should coMpel us to denounce
it, bat there are litany, and bear with us while
we give theta, simple, plain, yet an crushing as
they can be tirade.
The Convention denounced the Know Noth
ings, and yet assembled at the call of enc.—
! Had it been consistent, when it declared its
hostility to the lc. n. organi;ittion, it woold have
repudiated all connection with its more

Second. All Whig County Conventions,
heretofore, have established a rule, that no
business could be done unless a quorum of dcl-
egates was present. Did the late Convention -
adhere to that rule? We are free to say it did
not. A quorum wtts net present, therefore its
proceedings are no more binding, and have no
more weight, and Cite Whigs of the coon ty owe
no more allegiance to-them than they would to
any private alerting of two or three individuals
in any part or portion of the county. These
are some of the reasons why we repudiated the
action of the late Convention, so • called. 'We
could give more, and as strong ones, but these
we believe, are enough to satisfy nny reasona
bly sane intm, that we are right. As regards
the "fusion" entered into, Flint would have been
sufficient to have roused our every energy in
opposition to the most fully credited and °alio.

republican blood that courses through our
veins, which we inherit from ono who bled for
his country's independence, forbids that we

sirs, but while we leave every one to the free
exercise of a freaman's prerogative, we cannot

members of the party who claim us as their or

FUSION, NO GO.
We knew that the voice of the prepondera-
Ling mass of Whigs of Huntingdon County,
would be raised to ratify the course pursued
by the Journal, as an orthodox Whig exponent
and to denounce the iniquitous fusion which
has been so urgently thrust al the members of
the patty by those who have no stronger tie
binding than to any political faith, than the
loaves: and fishes. We have received nutner
ous letters within the past week, fully enders.
ing our course. They have been written by
men whose Whiggery cannot be doubted—who
have been always Whigs—who !lave done you
man's service in the cause. We will have
space only for a few brief extracts, from Vete.
Whigs of Huntingdon County, read, and say
whether the opinions and views of these men,
do not coincide with yours. The following is
from an old, staunch Whig of Franklin tp.,
whose name, together with others, we are at
liberty to make known:—
* * * "Your course I approve.
I cannot see how honest, free IVhigs could sup
port a fusion with Locofoccs. Those men who
vote the fusion ticket, cannot act from priori.
ple—sorely they must be acting the part of
two-faced hypocrites now, or else, all their for.
mer professed attachment to the Whig cause
and hostility to Locofocoism was a farce.—
• * * The Journal deserves the
immortal thanks of every faithful Whig for its
vindication of the true principles of the party
and its denouncement of that inconsistency—
fusion," &c., &c., &c. W.
Now read those extracts from letters recei•
ved from good Whigs in town of Petersburg—
all of them cigners of the paper, sent us last
week, propounding several "queries" to us.—
The paper we allude to, was written by one
Henry Orlady, a physician in the above named
town, and a ranting Locofoco. His presump
ties is certainly unprecedented, and only equal
led by his ignorance, is presuming that true
Whigs could bo blindfolded and hoodwinked
into supporting his honorable course by his
gentle doses of persuasive pills and threatening
physic, We would advise this dealer in coughs
drops to leave off poli ti cal working, and con•
line his attention to his practice. But for the
letters. The first one is signed by some half
dozen signers to hi.r paper—read it, and see to
what schemes politieimis will resort.
Putma:in Sept. 18, 1855.
. .
Messrs. Whilialeer,,C , Brewster:—Dear Sirsl
—We patrous of the •Jonout/ of the borough. of
Petersburg, understanding that
for some time past has. been assiduous in wri
ting letters to you, and getting those to sign
them who ham nothing their Contents, for
the purpose, "to get the Journe/ over to the
support of the fission ticket." If it were the de
sire of your patrons in this place, to see the
take to its embrace his spawn—the
"Kangaroo ticket" we would not go to our po
litical enemy to have him dictate our wishes.—
The course pursued by the Journal meets our
hearty approbation. We du not wish to dictate
to you—you have a period right and we accede
it to yon, of pursuing that resole which you
may think best for our party. But when the
time collies, he it sooner or later, when our
most unprincipled political enemies must die
tate the course of our organ—which is being
tried, we will cease to act with that organ.—
We hope you may never be sung to deep by
the wily strains or the enemy, &e., &c.
YOUIT PATRONS.
Here is another one from a gentleman of the
same town, who was, as he terms it "fooled in
to signing." We give an extract :
PETERSBURO, Sept. 20th 1855.
Gentlemen :—I have signed a paper in the
hands of Dr. Orlady, of our town, asking, seve
ral questions of you, regarding your political
course, in the coming contest. I hssew nothing
of the true contents of the letter at the time a
signing. He informed me it was asking you
whether you would support the fusion ticket.—
I considered the Dr. a gentleman of veracity,
and was surprised when its real contents were
made known through the.rournal. Your course
I approve, I nos opposed to 'fusion' because I
tun a Whig at heart. Do not for a moment
indulge the belief that myself and many of the
other signers- knew the contents of that paper.
Its contents were misrepresented, &c.
Hoping that I may not again be made the
dupe of scheming politicians, I close
A SUBSCRIBER.
N. 7 . think this will benefit the
good old cau.,e, you may publish.'
We knew tl.at the republican blood of hon
est-hearted men would not stand dictation from
Locofoco sources. We rejoice that we are
sustained in the course we thought proper to
pursue, by the 'bone and sinew' of the county.
We can now bid defiance to puny foes in the
shape of fusionists and tell them to 'pile on the
agony.' No, no—it will never go down with
the true blue, to desert the banner of correct
principles to fight under the skull and moss
bones of Locofocoism. It won't pay, because
the recompense honest men expect in support
ing a party, is good government ; and who would
accuse the Locolbco Party of ever steering cor
rectly whoa in power 1 No. The people are
waking,—our countrymen see the necessity of
pure government, and they see and know that
no government can be untainted, connected in
nay manner, shape or form with the Locofoeo
Party.
From the foregoing extracts, it will be seen
that Locofoco politicians have been the prime
movers in the getting up of the series of epmo.
A LITTLE WORD IN KINDNESS SPOKEN.-
We would notify the editors of the Huntingdon
American, and "one of our most respectable
citizens," that if they continue making their of
flee nn assignation don, (as it was on the night
of the 15th iust.) for rats nod more rate, we
shall be compelled to return them as keepers
of a "five point" institution. A pretty husi.
nose truly, for married men, editors of an Am
erican paper, and "one ofour most respectable
citizens" to be engaged in. 0111 Shame where
is thy blush.
Advertisements Crowded Out.
We are compelled to crowd out a column or
so of advertisements this week, to make room
for our editorial matter. This shall ho no loss
to our advertisers, however, us we shall contin
ue their advertisements the number of times
for which they are marked.
THANKS.-MISS Mary Hall for a basket of
delicious gropes, will please accept our thanks.
Lung way they live who remember the printer.
A Word to "Men."
Honest, moral men, wo have ono small word
for your ears. We do not wish to tireyour pa
tience by any lengthy article ; we wish simply
to speak in this, as we du in every paragraph
we publish, the simple, untarnished truth. If
we ever made a statement not entirely correct,
God knows we meant it not. For the column
upon column of abusive, blackguard epithets,
heaped upon its, as individuals, in the last is
sue of the Huntingdon American, we have not
a word of reproach to return, from nny feelings
of ill will. No, we pity the creature who can
so fat forget his manhood, ,as to unblushingly
he ; but if we pity, we must apply the chasten
ing rod, and show to the world who, and what
the editors of the Anzerican are. Read what
the editor of that sterling sheet the /Mar COWL'
ty Whig, says t
"It comes with a good grace from the editors
of the Huntingdon American, to call the Whig
party "defunct," by men who were born with in.
grain Locofocoism in their hearts! Such trash
to be the leaders of a party, and traducing men
of the Whig party who have stood by it in sun.
shine and storm. It must be pleasant to the
old Whigs of Huntingdoncounty, to be treated
in such a contemptuous manner by this new
fledged Locofoco concern I"
That's the honest opinion of a candid roan.
Men of Huntingdon County, can you, will you,
countenance such 'trash' for your leaders? Is
there an honest heart that will bow to the dic
tion of such things ? James S. Barr and J.
A. Nash, editors of an American paper I If
the people of Huntingdon County countenance
their filthy sheet, then truly may they be said
to be paying- a premium for vice. We had in
tended, in beginning this article, to show how
often a good deed done for a soul-less man will
meet with a base return. Read this:
When we were editor of the Standing Slone,
and at the time when the Legislature had ere
ated Ito office of County Superintendent, Jas.
S. Barr, came to us and stated that ho was in
needy circumstances,—had a large family to
support., Cc., &c. We knew nothing of the,
man, but his piteous pleadings so worked upon
our feelings, that they overcame our better judg
went, and we consented to use our influence to
procure him the situation. We exerted ourself
in his behalf, and the rest is known. He was
elected over m'en ofjud,gmen t, of brains, ofintel
leet—for- which - we humbly crave the pardon of
our fellow-citizens. NoW what return have we
for saving this int: uman, soulless,. contemptible
wretch from starvation ?—Let the last issue of
his paper answer. Assailed as a tradn-
ced as a common outlaw, as the breaker of the
Imes of my country. Nor does-he stop there :
no,—however willing he may have been to dis
grace us in the 'eyes of the community, why
does he dare bring our honored parent into
the circle of his defamation. Oh, base ingrat
itude. If the wealth, the honors and pleasures
of life were laid at our feet, sooner than :lathe
part of James S. Barr, we would turn front
them in disgust. He has none of the attri
butes of manhood. A common whoremonger,
a barefaced liar, a debased &handle. That
is his true position, and yet, the editor of an
American paper l It cannot be, that men of
honor will recognize him as a man of veracity.
lint we Must pass on. James S. Barr, fel
low-citiytens, has been shown to you as he is.—
We have used nothing but the troth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. We have held
him out as a private thing, see now give him as
a political renegade and reprobate
He now publishes a Locofoco sheet and styles
it an American paper I He has now at the
head of his sheet an American ticket. He says
he will support it. (We presume ho means if
his masters will permit him.) Last fall he vo
fed against the American Ticket. He wrote
agonized articles against the American nomi
nees, and in favor of - their opponents. He, to
his shame be it said, was then a member of the
Know Nothing or Ameria an organization. A
traitor to his cause, a perjured villain. Can he
have the hardihood to deny these assertions in
the very face of overwhelming and overpow,
cring evidence ? Can he ? Yes—mark it, be
will. A man who ran make a mock of ecligion
will not scruple to lie.
We presume he will use his common argu
ment to answer our facts, and call us what he
dare not outside of ink and paper, "liars and
villains."
That Poor Nan
Poor Jimmy Barr is endeavoring to create
a sympathy for himself, by an agonized whin
ing over his poverty. Hear him :
"We think that this young "anger will not
receive much applause for his ungenerous allu
sion, by informing the public that our only
crime was poverty."
God forbid you poor soul you, that we should
urge your poverty upon you as a crime. No,
no. We would be speaking against ourself to
do so ; because we have toiled for our daily
bread since wo have been able to "pick." It is
not your povotty which is a crime, but your in
dolence. You are like the man that fed swine
--too proud to work. It might injure the col-
Jars and reputation of the County Su perinfen•
dent. Take our advice, James, engage' in an
occupaticn which nature has qualified you to
fill with honor to yourself, and go at once to
mauling rails, or breaking stone upon the street.
No, poor soul, if "poverty was your only
crime," you might well say,
"Der's a balm, der's a b—a—l—m in de Gee-lid."
You say if you lie, call you a liar, if you
steal, er thief, Ac. As to your light-fingered
propensity, we 'know nothing,' but your request
reminds us of a story wo once read. A man
had his meat stolen ; he suspected the thief,
and determined to say nothing until the thief
should name it. So ono day his neighbor po
litely asked hint "if ho ever found out who stole
his meat ?" A guilty conscience, Ac.
To say lie is a liar, every time lie prevaricates
would fill our paper with the word liar as thick
as the word "five, five," is on a shinplaster.
WHO BOUGHT THE "AMERICAN 1"
The "little croaker" says the material of its
office was purchased by its editors with the "aid
of a fow of its friends I" Now that is childish.
Mr. James S. Barr, you must not imagine
people believe such tomfoolery. Your paper,
we assert, was purchased by a company. You
are nothing more than the mere /out of that
corporation. The work under the instructions
of a higher power. "Your press." Bah I Why
in another column of your paper yob snigger
over your poverty like a dying jack. "Your
paper." Oh Jerusalem I We candidly be.

WHO DESERVES IMPRISONMENT I,
It comer with a good armn certainly from
James S. Barr, editor.of the Ilnatingdon Anter..
icon, to inform the public that we are polity of
illegal voting, and therefore liable to impris
smmit. It is well known that he has rendered
himself liable to imprisonment and line by
breaking that portion of the law which alludes
to the Bea my Superintendent's acting as agent
for any hooks. His recommending a book,
the advertisement of which he . publishes—is
sufficient. But we shall allude to lid ; again,
and give the law or Pennsylvania on time matter,
James S. Barr has made a sharmelit which

to a paragraph from the Jaton/al of July or
June last, wherein he imagines is the sufficient
evidence. Now we defy him to prove by that
article that we were not of age when we voted,
or that we said we were not. Does Dor name
appear is it? No, assuredly not. lie gives it
as written--" Gabe, Jr." That is certainly not
the name by which we are deuignated by ines
of senso ; it is not, most assuredly the one by
which we were christened.
Jar. S. Barr, in assailing that we are guilty
of illegal voting, gives utterance to a bare• fam
ed lie, and stands benne the world n his true
light, a brazen-faced, contemptible, nusertipu
loos falsifier. Let him, if he is a Mall of hon
or, if he is a law loving cilium prosecute u, at

him to the world as he is in reality, a vagabond

loathsome reptile by men of honor.
His honorable attempts to blacken our char

he the manhood to proceed ? Will he giro us
