HUNTING ON COUNTY.
Eon have just emerged from a neat contest,
beaten but not dismayed. Another great con•
test impends on the 4th of November, fraught
with tremendous issues for weal or for woe.—
Are you ready for the battle? We hear you
exclaim with manly pride and strength—"We
am" The frauds upon the purity of the elec•
live franchise, at the late election in Philadel.
phis, amounted to thousands—and yet your
opponents have only elected one•half the Mem
bers of Congress, while in the Legislature on
joint ballot they will be in a minority, thus
losing the 11. S. Senator.
W e have carried our county ticket against
the most unheard of opposition—in spite of
money and colonized voters.
Friends of the great cause oChuman liberty,
there is nothing to discourage or dishearten
you. The partial victory of your opponents,
while it exhausted both their strength and
their means, was virtually a defeat.
In 1840, did they not carry the October
Election by a majority of 5000, and yet were
defhated in November?
Have the slanders of the foe lessened your
distinguished leader—or rather does not your
seal for the cause of freedom animate you
with sentiments of new and increased dovo.
'don ?
Vreemen, will you surrender the vast terri•
tortes of the Union to the Institution of Sla
very, while you behold with sorrow the ?dia.
souri Compromise, the plighted faith of the na
• tion, trampled in the dust?
Are you prepared for the violent seizure of
Cuba for the purpoee of creating four new
Slurs States? or for the degradation of free
labor and the suppression of free speech ?
of the only paramount issue the restric
tion of slavery or its unlimited extension?—
The Constitution protects it where it is, but
carries it nowhere.
The great heart of the nation is violently
convulsed. Rally then to the rescue. By the
'wrongs and woes of Kansas—by the injustice
and oppression of the slave power—nerve your
Leans for the contest. We know yon will not
shrink from the struggle.
The Electoral Ticket, settled by the conven.
tine equitable and just grounds, in worthy of
your confidence. Give it your support.
The territory of the Union was intend
ed for the homes of freemen—your children
and your children's children—for untold gene.
rations to come, as their rightful heritage,
and not for the homes of slaves and slave
owners.
Strike one more blow for the Constitution—
one more for free speech and free sail, along
the who's line. Let your watchword and your
battle cry be—The Union and the Constitution
—the Constitution and the Union.
To Clergymen.
We want to put a plain question or two to
the Ministers of the Gospel in Huntingdon
Con. ty, of all denominations. We believe we
have a right to ask you seriously, this question:
You are emboss& dor. of Jesus Christ. You
are here on a mission from God. Your duty
in to prepare the world for the coming of "the
kingdom" of your Lora. This being conceded,
now tell us, can God's ..kingdom coma" no long
an you, yes you, the very ambassadors of
"to whom all men are alike," are striving a.
gainst the coming of that kingdom? Can the
will of your Lord "be done ou earth as in hea
ven" so long as Slavery is extending itstionlin•
ion over the world I In Slavery a principle of
God's kingdom 7
You have influence, and you can wield it for
v.-al or for woe. If you, by your vote., aid the
a,•asion of Slavery, we pray pm for the cause
of 'kristianity, for the sake of consistency and

PNYMIIINLIEULITI4,
DO YOUR DUTY.

favor of Gen. Harrison, it was again carried

Harrison 144,021 Van 8uren13,672
Harrison's majority 34 9
In 1844, it was carried for "Polk, Dallas,"
and "the Tariff of '42" at both the State and
Presidential Election.
In 1848, at the State Election, it went as
follows:
For Taylor : Fur Cass :
Gov. Johnston, 168,523 Longstreth, 168,221
C. C. Middlesw'th, 164,284 Gamble, 166,930
Johnston's maj. 302 Gamble's. maj. 2,636
When at the Presidential Election, directly
after, the vote stood:
Taylor, 185,730 Cass '
Van Buren, 11,177
Gen. Taylor over (ion. Cass, 13,544
In 1852, it went for sham Democracy at
both Elections, though Gen. Scott received
more votes in November than were cast for
the Democratic State ticket in October—an
follows :
Whig. Dem.
Oct. Hoffman, 151,600 Hopkins, 171,548
Noe. Gen. Scott, 179,122 Gen. Piercel99,s6B
Mat. Oct. 19,948 Nov. 19,446
Thus the Whip, after success had become
hopeless, not only polled votes enough to beat
the vote of the sham Democracy in October,
but actually reduced their majority.
While we do not give np the State to the en.
emy, ever. if she may possibly have gone a•
gainst us now, we believe that we can carry her
for Fremont in November by a moat triunt
pliant majority. We call upon those men in
our midst who have fur years refused to vote
under a "Slavery Constitution" as they called
it, to come up now and vote against being
made slaves themselves. No man but has
some influence ;no citizen but has a vote. If
our own freedom is worth preserving, if free
soil is worth holding to make into free States
for our own posterity, then every man should
rally against the hosts of darkness and sin
which are crawling out into the light to vote
down and to scoff at everything of religion, of
virtue, of truth end of right. We commend the
following from a member o! the good e 'Luse we
fight for, to the eonsiderat on of all uur readers :
"It seems to us impossible that the ensuintt
struggle should be fought under disadvantages
at all equal to those which have just been en•
countered. We had no organization to start
with, and tittle at any time ; and there is very
little at this time; and there is a very general
impression that the management of the canvass
on our side might have been improved. Our
losses are nearly all in the Counties most ac•
cessible to money and influence from Phil
adelphia ; our gains are almost exclusively in
the impregnable West and North. We entreat
the friends of Kansas to lose no hour in perfect
ing an organization that will insure universal
confidence, reach every school district and
bring out the last vote. Men of Pennsylvania I
the issue of Freedom or Slavery in Kansas rests
with you. There is no longer a hope of reset•
ing her by the action of Congress ; a President
pledged to her cause alone can save her. Let
no moment, no effort, be wasted, until a triumph
is secured to Erections and Humtmit y ."'
Are You Ready?
Now Or Never.
Are you prepared fully for the next trial?—
Have you got a good and perfect organization
in your district? Have you polled your bor.
oughs and townships and do you know your
own men ? Have you appointed sub-commit.
tees for each school•district to bring out your
vote? If not see to it at once I Go to work
and do up what has been neglected. Do not
wait for your neighbors ; what is everybody's
business is nobody's business: but take hold
at once as if it was your special duty. We
can add hundreds to our vote on the 4th of
November by simply bringing out those who
failed to vote on the 14th. Remember, that
three additional votes in each election district
would have saved us the State, and may do it
again. The fate of a nation may hang upon
this contest. Let nothing of the past be suf.
fered to dishearten or dispirit you. "The bat.
tle is lost I" said Napoleon to Desaix when he
came up to Marengo. 'There is time enough,'
I said Desaix, "to win another," and the battle
of Meraugo was won.
Glorious Little
Connecticut.
At least 6,000 votes have been lost to the
Buchananiers in Connecticut since April last.
The returns of the late election there shows
this fact, and conclusively prove that at the
OctobereleKon the gloriously little State's ma•
jority for Fremont Is actually 7,307 I What
will it be in November.

1400 illegal votes were oast in oue single die•

proven this winter. Two Congressmen in the
city of Philadelphia, will thus be secured.
Never Despair !
Once More unto the Breach.
Dear Friends, Once More
BRIT I
The late disaster which befel our friends in
the political battle of the 14th instant ought to
nerve them to determined efforts to redeem the
State. The history of former contests in Penn
sylvania, in the years in which a President was
to be eleeted, is full of hope for us. The op
position to the shar.Demeercy, in Presiden
tial years, have generally been beaten at the
October Election, but when the majority at
the State Election was small, as in the case
this year, the November Election invariably
went against Locofocoism, and even when their
majority was large in October, and the contest
seemed hopeless on the part of the Opposition
yet November saw a larger vote polled by
them, and, a reduced majority for the Loco
focus. Let these results in former years teach
us our duty in 1866—Let as all work hard—
aye, harder I—from this until the night of the
4th of November. to bring about a like result
to those which have crowned the unflagging
nevt•:R DESPAIRING offers of the opponents of
Locofocoism in past contcsts.
The election was carried by fraud, and Phil
adelphia alone cast enough franduleots votes
to defeat us. Bat the system of fraud put
into operation by the desperate political gam
blers of Locofocoism on the 14th instant, was
not confinsd to Philadelphia alone. It pene
trated the interior, and each county was reg.
laxly farmed out. Along the line of the Del
aware river, men wills the red soil of New .Jer
sey still sticking to their shoes, swarmed about
the polls, and voted—in other sections swarms
of foreigners, with fraudulent and dead natn
ralization papers were on hand—in many in.
stances, where the game could be safely play
ed "stuffed bullet boxes," after the fashion of
San Francisco, were brought into play—mon
ey flowed like water, and here and elsewhere
the votes of the reckless or thoughtless were
purchased for a dollar or two ahead. But
why continue? The black deed bus been done
to the disgrace of those who perpetrated it,
and to the detriment of Republican i nstitutions.
The half of a million of dallars, raised out of
the State expended within its borders a few
days before the election, accomplished our
partial defeat. Let it pass.
Their cash, or "corruption fund," is nearly
all expended—their imported voters will be
wanted elsewhere in November. "NEVER
SAY DIE," THEN—NEVER DESPAIR I
Forewarned, we are now fo:earmed, and if
even they could poll all their fraudulent votes,

the two elections in former years, and then

Free and Slave
Labor.
A question of fearful importance is to be
decided at the coming election. It is between
free labor and slave labor. Let Buchanan be
lelected and Kansas made Slave State, and the
great West, with her noble rivers, and fertile
valliee, and broad prairies, is doomed to this
curse forever. Shall this virgin soil be the
home of Freemen, the domain of the hardy free
laborer—or shall it be worked by the °battles
!of Southern nabobs,—msu who too. , upon labor
an disgru cful,—who call our mechanics hire.
Zings, and have no more respect fur them than
for slaves? WORKING MEN of every trade
and occupation, and party, men whose hands
are hard with toil but who know the dignity of
labor, and can look any man in the face and
say, "I am your equal." Consider, ponder over
this act. Depend upon it, it is no idle alarm.
If you slumber now, you may awake to Grid it
a dread reality.
The Last Appeal
---"Strike,
For your altars and your fires,
God and your native land."
On all hands we are beset with the inquiry,
What are the prospects! It is the old inquiry
renewed, Watchman, what of the night?
We bid our friends be of good cheer. There
is no cause for being disheartened. At best
the Buchaniers have achieved but half a view.
ry. We have about half the Congressmen and
both branches of the Legislature ; and they
have a paltry majority for their State ticket,
which they have obtained by fraud and pipe.
laying. Looking at it from the most favorable
standpoint for them, it is a drawn battle ; while
from our stand-point, the fruits of victory are
with us. Our majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature is worth far more to us than their
State officers can be to them ; and it gives us,
beside, a chance to investigate the frauds at
the late election, and unseat these officers, if
the frauds should be clearly proven.
It is a little remarkable that at the October
election in 1840 the Democratic majority on
the popular vote was 4,6s9—snore than it is
now—and that the Legislature was ours by a
close vote. The ensuing struggle in Novem
ber gave us the State, as will be the case now.
In many counties the vote on Tuesday last
was quite light. Dauphin, Beebe, Chester,
Northampton, Cumberland and most of the in
terior counties polled but a light aggregate
vote, and yet the Democratic vote was quite
full. This will not be the case next time.
The immen e imported vote, seat in upon us
in all the border counties, will be needed at
home on the 4th of November. We will not,
we think, have that to contend against.
In addition to this, thonsands of pro-slavery
Fillmore men throughout the State voted the
Loci:sloe° ticket throughout, and this vote will,
in all probability, be diverted to Fillmore. The
indications are all in our favor. In every elec•
Lion district our friends tell us we can do bet.
ter; and in every 'western county the promise
is the same. Friends, remember those pro. !
micro and keep them, The Bnchaniers cannot
poll for Buchanan the vote of last Tuesday.
What we want, now, is organization and
work. We want the boroughs and townships
thoroughly polled, the cause of every friend of
freedom put down, and efforts made to bring
out every vote. It must be done. Its every
township there should be a matt named to eve•
ry school district whose business it shall be to
bring out every voter its it. A full veto is a
victory fur as. Co to work, then, at once.
rouse up the friends; co nplete the work of or.

In addition to this, there needs to be snore

There is no time to be lost. Up, then, and
to work! Devote every day between this and
the election to the task before us. We earl,
and we must increase our majority in the cons.
ty. Thu result in the State may hang upon it.
Election Fraud.
Know then every man that the frauds in the
city of Philadelphia alone were deliberately
planned ; that the State was canvassed and the
tended number of votes computed ; that money
was sent into the principal cities of this State
to buy votes and to colonize to vote down our
own citizens. Aye, even after Ito vote was ac
tually polled, we had news at the returns front
Philadelphia that the Shninoerats bad carried
the city by 2140 votes. On Thursday, when the
vote began to look close in the State, the tnajor
ay began to grow. Wards were found in that
city where more 'votes had been cast for "de
mocracy" than were at first thought. On Thum
day morniag the l'ennsylvanian put the major
ity at 2900, On Thursday evening it began to
be rumored that it had gone up to three or four
thousand. The exigencies of the case deman
ded it, and in the sliding scale of the political
thermometer the . ount went up to the required
figure. Can any sane man believe that for
three whole days the vote iu the city of Phila.
del; hia was known to be within 000 ? That the
omniscient Forney, notwithstanding his former
meanderings in the Forrest, tilde% know within
two days after the election to within 500 votes
of how the vote stood in the compact city of
Philadelphia? The Kansas and California
game has come home to tie, and it is our own
fault if it is tried on again. Let fraudulent
voters beware. On the 4th of November the
same game will not win. We nak only for right
at the Itallot4.x. We ask not stow men vote,
but by what right.
If a majority of the legal votes of the State
are against us, we cheeeefully submit. A fair
trial at the ballot-box is all see ask, and that we
must have.

ONCE MORE
Unto the Breach.
Let all the friends of Freedom, Free Speech
and Free Kansas—let all the opponents of For
eign Interference, Foreign Dictation and Pope
ry, go to the polls on Tuesday, the 4th of No
vember and veto the Union Electoral Ticket.
Fremont men and Fillmore men should join
heart and hand in taking the State from the
friends of Slavery and Southern Dictation by
voting that ticket. Each can vote for his own
individual choice, and by combination on the
Union Ticket can secure for that choice the
full strength of his preference in the State.—
There can be no reasonable objection to this.
There is no compromise of principle required.
It is in accordance with the course pursued in
voting for the Union State and Connty tickets
and must strike every one as not only fair and
honorable, but the only course that will tuba
the electoral vote of the State from the Slavery
and Soilhern party. Let the friends of Fremont
and Filmore everywhere go to the pills nod
vote the Union Electoral Ticket headed by
these two candidates and the result is certain
to be a triumph that will rejoice the hearts of
the opponents of Slavery and Popery over the
Union.
Once again.
We say to our friends gird on the armor a.
new for the contest. There are thousands of
voters who voted the sham Democratic ticket
who can never swallow the Cincinnati platform.
Men who refuse to vote in the State elections
but who in the present fearful crisis when all
we hold dear is at stake, will rally to crush
the worst enemies of Freedom that ever band.
eti in defence of wrong. We call upon all
our friends, everywhere, to redouble their of
in a cause as holy as ever was presented

new hopes and determinations in defence of
truth and right. There is no such word as
fail to mon who fight in a good cause with
truth and right upon their side. Let no man
flag for one moment in his efforts; let us look
anew to our organization; bring every man to
a knowledge of the. justice of our cause; let
every effort be made to bring to the polls all
who have a right to vote; be prepared on the
4th of November to exclude from the ballot
box every bogus vote. We can sweep the
State in November in spite of the combined
efforts of the hosts of Slavery. Again be up
and at work, night and day, in season and out
of season. Work, work.
BC(fiCit, but not
"Subdued."
The Mends of Freedom and Free Labor in
Pennsylvania are beaten, but not subdued.—
Those who hold that labor should be owned by
capital—ehould be subject to the will of a mas•
ter without -fee or reward, have triumphed at
the late election. Bat they have not yet sub•
deed the spirit of Independence, or conquered
the principles of Freedom. The people have
been led into a wrong path by a blind zeal for
party and principles that have a fair exterior,
but are within "full of deed men's bones" and
all manner of uncleanliness. They have been
deceived and led to vote against their holiest
convictions of right and duty, but this cannot
long endure, and the universal triumph of truth
and justice is sure. Let all who desire to see
Kansas n Free State—Let all who desire to see
labor free and independent, and not under con•
teal of task•wnaters, go to the polls and VOTE
FOR THE UNION ELECTORAL. TICKET.
the Ladies!
We appeal to you, our fair and noble coun•
trywomen, to do something for Fremont and
Freedom. Your influence is great, and will
you not exert it in the cause of God and your
country, in this, the great contest between
riumzioss AND SLIIITEBX ?
It is your duty—a duty you owe to God and
your Native Land, to use your every power and
exert your every influence with husband, and
father, and brother, and friends, and kindred,
and neighbors, to aid the cause of Freedom
and the Right, over Slavery and the Wrong I
Then won't, you aid us in our great struggle
with that ferocious and soul-killing monster—
SLAVERY ?
".More Proof."
The Fillmore Journals have Coon weekly la
den with articles headed as above, to prove
Col. 'Fremont a Catholic I One of their stron
gest arguments, was a letter purporting to have
been written by Archbishop Hughes. We pub
lish a card from Archbishop Hughes on nur
outside, in which he denies having written such
letter, and disclaims all knowledge of Col. Fre
mont's religion. Where will the slanderers now
go.
Whilst we hell• ye every man hat a right to
worship God as he pleases, we do not believe
any party has a right to saddle a rel igloo on
an in lividual, obnoxious to him.
John C. Fremont is a Protestant, of the de.
nomination known as Episcopalians ; and be.
lieves in the Triune God—Three in One. But
what is Mr. Fillmo . re ? Millard Fillmore is a
Unitarian. We will not say a word against his
belief, but refer our readers to the 2d chapter,
22d & 21d verses of St. John's Ist Epistle
"Who is a liar, but he that deuieth that Jo.
sus is the Christ. He is antichrist, that &pi.
cth the Father is the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Soo, the same bath
not the Father."
Plain Argument
Slavery extension is contrary to the Chris
tain religion. No Christian can aid anything
or any movement contrary to his religion with•
out sinning. James Buchanan is pledged to
Slavery gxtension. Consequently, no Chris
tina can support James Buchanan.
HUM,

Fellow-Citizens, of Huntingdon County, we

Honest Men and Christians! We appeal to you,

institutions of our native land. The cothitry
demands a sacrifice coo, your part, to prere..ve
her institutions, and uphold the glorious fabric
of the Union—she DEMANDS IT NOW !
It is not the sacrifice of your wealth, your life,

are in danger. We invoke you, US Christians,
and as Freemen, to come to the help of your
brethren, who aro combatting with the monster
which seeks to make slaved and tondosen of
your sons and daughters, and reduce the lobo
ring man of the north, to the level of a ne e ;ro
slave ! Jaines Buchanan stands .pledged, be
-1 fore the country, to sanction the extension of
human bondage ; aye, though it should bring
the mused power and institution into our own
Commonwealth, and fasten it HERE, a with
ering cure upon us forever !
We aslc you, fellow-citizens. as neighbors,
can you endorse the doctrine of the men who
nominated Mr. Buchanan, when they say—
" Slaver!, should not be confined to the tows ;
"all LABORING MEN, whether WHIN; or
"black, were so intended. Slavery is the nor.
'final condition of all laboring men," d'e., sic.
Such is the language of all the sapporters of
' Mr. Buchanan, in the South, and such is the
doctrine you endorse, if you vote fur him.
Do you risk then with Webster—" Whether
' shall Igo ?" We answer—go aid those who
are earnestly striving for the good of 'the whole
' country. Go vote for JOHN C. FREMONT,
who stands pledged to the Union and the Con
' stitution, and whose doctrine in regard to the
' great issue of Slavery, is comprehended in a
s ingle sentences—“Tlins far shalt thou go, and
• no farther" ; where slavery it, let it remain ;
, and there, let its dark waves he stayed. Will
you aid the cause of God and Freedom, or will
jou strike fur the offspring of hell--Slavery?

anon and the Cincinnati P.atforin to form un
entire and hearty Union, and at the same time
cast his vote for the candidate of his choice.—
No man honestly desiring the defeat of James
Buchanan von object to the plan proposed.—
With such a union we can beyond all doubt
defeat the Cincinnati nominee—without it that
party must inevitably succeed, and the pledg.
ed executors of the Pierce Administration will
curse the country for another four years.
'Why should not the union be carried out?
Opposition to Slavery extension is n prirciple

Fillmore and Fremont voters, it is only In this
way that that principle can be carried out.—
United we can succeed, divided we must be

Look at this question in the light of reason
and common sense, and discarding the petty
jealousies of partizan warfare, come up to the
issue like men determined to strike a firm
blow for a great principle. Let your motto ho
a union of the right against the wrong—a un

One 1 lore Trial.
Let the friends of Freedom in Huntingdon
County gird on their armor for the great con.
test on the 4th day of November next. On
that day the fate of Kansas will be decided ;
and whether it be for weal or wo let Hunting•
don county at least do her whole duty.
If the territories are to be given up to the
debasing Slavery let Huntingdon county at
least have her skirts clear of the crime. A
large majority can be given against the eaten•
Sion of Slavery if the proper exertion be made.
And they who aid in giving that majority
will have sotnething to be proud of the longest
day of their lives.
ITHE THREE PLATFORMS
On Siav — e - ry . In the iVer;itories:
THE “DEMOCRATIC" PLATFORM.
The American Democracy recognize and
adopt the principles contained in the °sprig
laws establishing the Territories of Kansas and
Nebraska, as embodying the only sound and
sure solution of the "slavery question," upon
which the great national idea of the people of
the whole country can repose in its determined
conservatism of the Union—NON-INTERFE•
RENOE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY
IN THE TERRITORIES, 01k IN THE DIS.
TRIO.' OF COLUMBIA.
THE"AMERICAN" PLATFORM;
The recognition of the right, of the native.
born and naturalized citizen of the United
States, permanently residing in any Territory
thereof, to frame their Constitution and Laws,
AND TO REGULATE THEIR DOMESTIC
AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS IN THEIR OWN
MO DE.
THE "REPUBLICAN" PLATPOII4II:
Rewired, That the Conetitution confers upon
Cos r.• a sovereign power over the Territories
of the United States, for their government, and
that in the exercise of this power, it is both the
right and ditty of Congress to PROHIBIT IN
THE TERRITORIES THOSE TWIN REL
ICS OF BARBARISM, POLYGAMY AND
SLAVERY.
Will the render take the tremble to orate these
three resolutions ? He will find the first two
eubsten , isn , tlnt , tiral. end the latter the only
true PLATFO'SIM OF FREEDOM.
