COMMITTEE MEETING•
BEWARE 2
The terrific slaughter of okl•hne Democrats
at the late Loco Convention, has caused con
siderable excitement throughout the county.—
It is a fact beyond contradiction, that political
turncoats who submitted their names to the
Convention, received the nomination, while the
old veterans of the party were in every instance
defeated where there were turncoat competi
tion. It has been asserted that had there been
a " bloody know nothing " candidate for eac h
office, not a single original Democrat would
have been nominated. Wo caution tho mem
bers of the old k. n. party against being de
ceives by the turncoat ticket. We do this from
an apprehension that they might think, owing
to the number of Know Nothings on the tick.
at, that they were nominated by a Know Noth
ing Convention, This ie not so. These men
are renegades, who have broken their solemn
oaths and who have deserted their old party for
the sake of office—which they will not get, if
the Opposition do their duty. Beware of tick
ets with the names of Africa, Speer, &e., on
them, as these men are now affiliated with the
Buchanan Federalists.
11. 7'. WHITE, ESQ.
The Locofocus aro making great effor; 4 to
defeat this gentleman, fur the office of Treasu
rer. They resort to the most foolish stories
and base acts, and we warn our friends against
them. Mr. White is a young man of extraordi•
nary abilities, and has always been an ardent
and enthusiastic member of the party. He is
well deserving, the support of the people, and
we feel satisfied they will reward his devotion
to the principles of our party, by such an over
whelming majority, as will forever vindicate
the truth of the saying that the people delight
to honor an upright and hottest man ; and as
will rebuke his traducers. It is true Mr. White
has to depend on his daily labor for his doily
bread, but those who seek to make capital out
of that fact, will, we think, find they have mis-,
judged the principles of the yeomanry of the
county. It is true be is young, but "old men
are not always wise," and there is no danger
of his being deficient in capacity. Vote fur
him by all means.
KEEP 1T BEFORE TUE PEOPLE!
That the Huntingdon Globe, the organ of J.
Simpson Africa, is in favor or the repent of the
tonnage tax, and that its editor is in pay of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
That the Huntingdon Union, the organ of
General George Washington Speer, is a sup.
porter of James Buchanan; and its editor is
the bellows blower of of that virtuous man's
praise.
That two Locofoco candidates were mem
bers of the Know Nothing party ; and that in
deserting it, they have violated their most ea•
reed obligations, and proven that they have no
regard far solemn oaths,
THY IT, IF YOU DARE.
We understand the Locofocos are ringing in
religion in some quarters, tot political capital.
Let them try it again. We have not an infidel
nor Joutit on ourticket. Can they say as much?
A New Trap Sprung in the Campaign.
" Beware of the Dog.
If any man of the People's party in Hunting
don county, who is at heart opposed to the
corruptions of Locofocoism can read the fol
lowing extracts from the laet issues of the Hunt
ingdon Globe and Union, without a feeling of
indignation, or a blush, it is because he has not
sensibility enough left to feel as he should, an
contemplating one of the most bra zoo-laced,
impudent impostures of the age.
" There is no use denying the fact that upon
a strict party vote in this county, every man
upon the Democratic ticket must be defeated."

ination men who deserve to be elected, and
will be, if the voters of the county will but de
termine to disregard party and vote for the

Pennsylvania this Fall, for if lost now, the
chances are all against us for '6O. What Dem-
ocrat would desire to aid in bringing upon es
so great a political catastrophe."—Haid Laudon

Here we have the distinct avowal that every
man upon the Locofoco County Ticket ‘. ntust
be defeated" unless—it is with a blush we , te,ty
it—traitors enough can be found outsk'w of the
organization to secure its trium , :,.. I We have
also the result to be gained. 'oy the success of
this scheme—"the trh.;mph in 1860." Let us
investigate the cl?..ims of these men upon Amer
jean Republi!ains. Every man upon that tick
et, votiyA for James Buchanan; they mocked at
the efforts which were made by the patriotic
citizens to secure the election of on honest inan
for President ; they scoffed at the wrongs and
sufferings whirls were endured by the people of
Kansas, and the outrages which deluged that
fair territory in the blood of freemen—our
brothers and friends; and they denounced the
principle that freedom was national. And
these are the men for whom you aro called up
on to "disregard party ;" and for what?—to se
cure another Buchanan "triumph in 1860 I"
Let the people beware of the men on this hum
bug ticket, and their supporters. Let them
REMEMBER
That they are the members of a party which
is now represented by an administration, the
most influential members of which, and whose
chief supporters in Congress are, Southern se.
cessionists, open and avowed disunionist,
Or, on the other hand, a party which besides
being fully committed to these sectionalechemes
of disunion, seeks to destroy the harrnomy of
our society by drawing distinctions between
poor working men of the North, and Southern
aristocrats.
REMEMBER
That the success of the Locofoco county
ticket would be an endorsement of the acts of
the present Executive ; an endorsement of the
opening of the slave trade; of the free trade sys.
tem ; and the enactment of a slave code for the
territories. If yo o support that tieket,you man

Locofoco party, is in pay of the Penneylvc-
Railroad, and advocates by his silence the re
peal of the tonnage tax—thereby assenting to
the scheme to "defraud the people out of two
hundred thousand dollars." That he has un
bounded influence over the candidate of his
party for Assembly, and will support that can
didate, no doubt, on the ground that he will
exert himself, if elected, to secure the repeal of
this tax.
Chairman
REMEMBER
That candidates who will willingly violate
their words, and treat a vow as an idle thing,
have proven recreant to the most sol•
emn obligations which can bind men ; hate
forfeited the respect of the community, al
are unworthy the confidence of the people.—
And finally,
REMEMBER
That "a full vote is a sore victory" for the
People. In this State Locofocoism has no
hope, but in the apathy of American Republi•
cans. "We can't be whipped when we all

of arty part or pnrtion of the Locofoco county

would do much towards .suceing the "triumph

CONSISTENCY !
When the editor of that unscrupulous sheet,
the Bald Hornet, (brother of General George)
started on his editorial career, he stated that
he would utter no sentiment which he did not
know to be correct. His practice has been in
direct violation of this avowal. That paper has
become notorious for its falsification of facts,
and the persistent obstinacy with which it ad.
hors to its false statements, after they are pro
ven to be base falsehoods. We do not blame
General George's brother so much for this, as
his unprincipled controllers. We believe he
is a young man—unsophisticated, it is true—
who, if it wore not for the influence of design.
ing knaves, might Le taught the virtue of troth;
but in loaning himself to "base Trojans" has
lost much of the beauty which rural simplicity
stamps upon the character.
That paper asserted that R. B. Wigton had
voted, last winter, for the repeal of the tonnage
tax, and persistently reasserts the same thing
in its last issue. This is a direct falsehood.—
Mr. Wigton did not vote for any such thing,
and the Union knows it. We defy it to prove
this assertion. That gnestion was not before
the last Legislature. How, then, could Mr. W.
have voted for it ?
That paper asserted that Messrs Moore,
Watson and White had is mectingl in a private
room at some hotel, where they iteknowledg•
ed to each other their "hopeless cases," &C.—
This is too simple and naked an untruth to de
mand
notice. Suffice it to say, it is a falsehood.
Mr. Watson was not in Huntingdon on the eve- I
'ling the conversation should have taken place. I
We think General George's brother has lead his
ear at the wrong key hole.
But if we were to go on giving the false
hoods contained in that spurious sheet, we
world consume too much space: We will on
ly mention one more. It intimates that sever
al prominent gentlemen of this town, of the
People's party, oppose Mr. Wigton, We give a
letter from one of these, as an miniver ai..d re
futation of the slander :
Ma. EDITOR :—ln the Union of last week,
in an article of some three-quarters of a col.
men in length. I observe my name introduced
in a manner which, if it means anything, would
seem to convey the idea that I am dissatisfied
with the remominatiim of p.. 8. Wiemn, Esq.,

intended to be made by the writer of the arti
cle, I can ;:inly say he is entirely mistaken. If

itepublican party, I ant satisfied that out of the
large number of good men, who were bcfere

entices, I could not have made a better selee.

8. 8. WHARTON.
The Extra Sa7.ary Candidate,
Let the free and independent voters of Hunt.
ingdmt county remember, that whilst the Lo•
cofocos are endeavoring to make a little capi
tal out of the resolution passed by their Coun
ty Convention instructing their—ran didnte for
Assembly to receive but five hundred du llars I
of a salary, if elected, that same candidate--
J. Simpson Africa—did pocket, last winter,
ono hundred dollars wore than he was entitled
to by the custom which fixes the clerk's salary
at five hundred dollars. Recollect, when
you are asked to vote for Africa, on the plea
— that he underbids honorable competitors, that
in addition to his high wag., he received one
hundred dollars EXTRA PAY, out of the
Pockets of the People. And recollect, too,
that Richard B. Wigton, for his faithful public
services as your Representative, has acr, re•
c rived one cent extra pay.
If any one doubts the tail' of this chew, the
most skeptical can be convinces, of the fact,
by examining the pages of the Legislative Rcc.
ord. It cannot be refuted or explained away ;
and every man who would be convinced, has
but to call at our office and ma the proof.—
Now if J. Sienpson Africa, whilst a clerk in
the Senate of Pennsylvania, could and did nb•
strnet from the treasury of the Commonwealth ,
!”00,00 of extra pay, to which he was not en
titled by justice, the question naturally (trivia
in the public mind, would be be a safe man to
entrust with the responsible duties and ener•
mons power plamod in tile hands of a Legislator?
j Would the interests or the people oh Ibis scum
m‘ ,6 ..narantv have
- stance woold not, if he had the power, commit
the same abuses in other instances? None—
none whatever; and the verdict of the people
must be against him.
That unscrupulous Locofoco sheet, the Un
ion, has shown a characteristic inconsistency
in stating that "he will record no vote to de
fraud the people out of two hundred thousand
dollars and then return home and kayo his
party's convention pass a resolution strongly
opposing the repeal of the tonnage. tax." He
will have no opportunity of doing anything of
this kind, it is true; but he did pocket one hun
dred dollars of the money of the people of this
State as extra pay, and he did return home and
had "his party's convention pass a resolution"
to impose upon the people by a very cunning
yet nevertheless little piece of political trick.

is based upon trach inconsistency, and fraud,
is surely not the one to he trusted. What say
you, voters? _ _ _

Facts like these convey their own best cons

for the application of the proper remedy. This

But Free Trade is the pet delusion of the

Buchanan, in his last annual message, modest

Calculating the Chances.
The New York Tribune Is calculating the
chances for the Presidency in 1860. It makes
out 186 free State votes in the various electo
ral colleges, and 120 slave State—total, 306,
making 154 necessary to n choice. Counticg
the cloven States that voted for Fremont In
1856 as sure for the Republican candidate in
1860, would give 114 electoral votes, making
40 tnoro votes necessary. The remaining free
States poll 72 votes. Of these, Pennyslennia
(27), Illinois (11), and Kansas (3), are certain
to go for the Republican candidate, with the
test chance for Now Jersey (7), Indiana (13),
and Minnesota (4), making altogether 25 voles
more than enough. This is without counting
a single Southern State. Upon the whole,
the chances are decidedly favorable to the
Republican side, and their success is absolutely
certain if they are wise in scatting a nomination
that will not ha objectionable to the distinctive
American branch of the party. Mho election
goes to the House, the Smith Americans and
Independent Democrats will probably hold the
balance of potent. Ist that case we may ex
pect warm work, end a possible success of pro.

can Republicans have the game in their own
hands, and it is hoped they will play it judi
ciously so as to carry off the prize.
Nervous Diseases Controlledand
Conquered,
Of all the carious ills that detract from the
enjoyment of human life, most of them may bo
traced to a disordered condition of the nervous
system. The horrors of Epilepsy, or Falling
Sickness, arise in most cases from this cause.
Our readers may remember, on several occa•
sieve before, we have alluded to the wonderful
cures, or modifications of Fits, made by the
Vegetable Extract Epileptic Pills, invented
and prepared by Dr. Seth S. Hance, of 108
'lnitiator° Street, Baltimore,
Md. We feel
fully satisfied that these Pills have cured some
of the most stubborn cases of Epilepsy, as
well as the milder forms of Fits, Boehm severe
Cramps, Spasms, &r. We now record the
fact, that persons will find these Pills equally
efficacious in curing every form of nervous
debility;—no matter whether manifested in the
acute and excruciating form of Neuralgia, Tic

Dyspepsia or Indigestion, the sufferings of
