Up to 1840, he had nev er wronged a man, but in that year he'was persuaded 40 engage in counterfeiting, and froth that he was led to the commission of robbery-and murder.

After he had closed• lte_returned to his seat,•and after consulting the other prisoners, .returned and stated that it watt their dying request that their bodies be given to their -friends and not to the Physicians.

The session of Congress commences next Mon day week, (Dec . . 1.) and the members are . already turning their faces towards the Capitol. We un derstand that Mr.. IVIVLEsx, the Representative from this district, purposes leaving on Friday next. In view •of the critical condition of our Foreign relations, and the speculation as to Mr. Polk's de- , termination in regard to the Tariff question, the message of the President will be looked for with much anxiety. The rumors as to what the mes sage will contain, are, of course, contradictory. It is supposed, however, that the iccent unequivocal expression of opinion by the leading presses of the country in opposition to the War fever, and in a -1 vor of an honorable and peaceful compromise of the Oregon difficulties, will influence the Presi dent's policy upon that question, and induce more pacific recommendations to Congress than were at first apprehended. The Washington "Union," the Organ of the Administration, and Which may be supposed to - reflect the views of Mr. Polk, has been compelled already to modify its tone; by explain ing away its late offensive articles. It now affirms that in asserting the ground assumed by the Presi dent and his friends to be "the whole of 01:egort or nom," a reference was had to the mere question of title alone—that, so far as the title was concern ed, a claim would be made to the whole territoiy in dispute—but that the Administration was a . yerse to involving the Country hi a war, and that every honorable effort . riArould be made to secure a settlement of the difficulty by negotiation I 11.7 The Hon Jodi , ' C.

Er No better evidence of the arrant hypocrisy and duplicity upon the Tariff question, so erten Charged upon Locofocoleaders by the Whig press, could be desir&l than that which develope s it self in the proceedings of the Hollidayslairg • Con vention. The evident determination of the 'Na tional Administration to direct a vigorous effort against the Tariff of 1842, during the coming win ter, and thus give the lie to the bold and constant ly ieiterated-rt.sser ions, by party orators, of Mr. Polk's friendship - for the Protective policy, has compelled the , Locofoco leaders in this State, where these assertions were most recklessly insis 7 tad upon, to get up some new demonstration, by means of which still further to dupe 'the honest, hard-working, Tariff Democracy. and allay the storm of indignant rebuke so richly merited by a most heartless triflingwi tit the feelings and interests of the mechanical population of the State. And the most ready means of accomplishing this result —so necessary to the future harmony and suc cess of the party"=would, of course, be by as sembling in State Convention, and publishing loud professions of attachment to the Tariff of 1842, and the Protective policy generally. According ly, a .Convention was called to.assemble at Horn : eaysbfirg,, on the 12 rash, and delegates appointed from a number of Counties. Gen. DAVID R. Pon- TER was elected' President, and a number of Reso lutions proposed and adopted, asserting, in general terms, a frientlshipfor the Tariff. and deprecating any repeal or modification of the law.of 19.12. So far t all right,' • Unfortunately, however, for "die leaders,'' a few Whigs had deemed proper to attend the Conven tion; who thought that such a stand should be as sumed upon this great question by the People of Pennsylvania as Would assure the Administration and the country that they were in earnest, and were determined not to have their interelts and means of prosperity recklessly crushed. To test the sincerity_ of the Locofoco members of the Con-en lion, the following Resolutions were introduced by Mr. FE!..7 LON : of Cambria : ResolVed,, disclainting, the purpose of involving this momentous question with subordinate party issues, we pledge .our selves to each other, and to the country to stand by the Tariff at all hazards ; to dis criminate by our suffrages and support in favor of the party and Administration, whether of the State or Union, which shall assure to us the fair measure of Pi:otection we demand, and shall refuse to assent to, or recommend, modifications of the exist ing Tariff in its essential Protective fea tures. Resolved, That this convention of friends `of the Protective Policy, recognizing .Isere no other, elsewhere no higher' political aim, are fully persuaded that the existing Tariff Law has ' operated advantageously to the common interests, and especially to Agri culture, Manufactures and domestic trade, and ought not tobe_repealed or so modified as to impair its Protective efficacy. But this was carrying matters a little farther than suited the pectiliar purpo'es of the "leaders,' and, of course, the Resolutions were promptly re jected, as we learn from the Hollidaysburg Regis ter—the Locofocos voting almost to a man against them and the Whip - for them. Now we put it to the honest Tariff Democrats of our county,whether this simple and "unvarnish ed" statement of facts does not furnish ample evi dence of the duplicity and hypocrisy, which, as before remarked, the Whigs haVe so frequently charged upon the Locofoco leaders. In the refu sal to adopt the Resolutiogs of Mr. Fenton, the Lo cofoco members of thdonvention in effect decla red their unwitlingne s to.stand by the Tariff of 1842, and theirdetermination to cling to Mr. Polk and his friends, even though the . consequence be the prostration of that most salutary law, and the reductiOn to poverty and ruin of the hard-working and industrial population, whose humble and, at present, comfortable dwellings, lie scattered over the hills and valleys ipf this great' Commonwealth ! How long * will an honest people permit them 'selves to be duped•and abused by such glaring in sincerity and hypocrisy. It is scarcely, necessary to add that after.such a palpable exhibition of hypocrisy and real indiffer ence to the interests of the' State by the Locofoco portion of the Convention, the Whig members withdrew in disgust, and that the Convention broke.up to confusion. The Presidency. (U° The Whig Press of the State is beginning to turn its attention to the policy of an early rally of our forces for the next Pre•idential struggle.— The Huntingdon Journal and Hollidaysburg Reg-, ister cordially endorse the article upon this sub ject from the Lebanon Courier, which we gave in our last number. &) far, too, as we have seen the subject noticed, in Pennsylvania, there seems to be but little diversity of opinion as to the 'proper. individual. The Hollidaysburg Register, after quoting the article alluded to, says : That IleNnY CI A AY will not again con sent to be a candidate for the Presidency, but prefer to spend the remainder .of his days in the retirement of private life, and in the . enjoyment of the esteem and admi ration he has already so• justly won, go clown in peace and quietness to an honor ed grave, we think there can be but little doubt. Leaving his name out of the ques tion, then, where can one be found so dear to the American people as that of the Hero of the,hardlouglitfields of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane?

Son►eU►lng Wrong. lITTlie last Hanover Spectator contains a com munication from Mr. SAsluv.L Ducat', of this con*, reflecting somewhat severely upon the fairness of the flour inspections, in the city of Bal timore. It is charged that; owing to some preju dice upon the part .of the officers, whose duty it is to inspect flour coming into the city, against Mr. SennivEn, of Union Mills, the -flour from that gentlemin'i; mills are generally branded infe rior. To test the matter, Mr. Diller "raised in ono lot, thrashed in one day, and hauled to the mill in one 'load," a quantity •of wheat, which was ground at Mr. Schriver's mill, on the same day, "in one run, and bolted, mixed and barrelled at the same time." Being prononced, by such as saw it, superior to a sample of Baltimore superfine then in the mill, the. barrels were alter naFe-ty branded—part of the load with Mr.. Schri ver's name, and part with that of Mr. Fried, the miller. The flour thus prepared was delivered in front of M'Conn's Warehouse, Howard street, and, when inspected,all.the barrels branded Schriver Were pronounced fine, and those marked with Fried's name, superfine ! There is evidently some thing wrong in the matter, and it will be well for our Fanners to be upon their guard, when deliv ering flour in the city.

At another time.3ve shall have "a word to say" in fa , vor of adopting the southern route alluded to by the Republican : “The philndelphinns too, we observe, a larmed at the zeal with which the friends of granting the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company the right of way to Pitts burg are pushingtheirproject„are awaking to th(s-necessity of building .a continuous Rail Road between• the two greet Eastern and- Western Cities of Pennsylvania-ribe tween the -Delaware and Ohio Rivers. By doing so they hope to draw back the great stream of Western travel which has been diverted from our, Public.,, Works to the Cumberland Route, and to defeat the rival proposition made and urged in behalf of Baltimore. They have not yet determin ed, so far as we know, what region of coun try it would be most advisable and least ex pensive to traverse—whether the Valley of the Juniata-of the West Branch or dome other. A-very intelligent gentleman told us last week, thathe, had heard it agitated by many in private consultations, and that probably it would soon be brought out pub licly, to adopt the route b . t, York from Phil adelphia to Pittsburg as the best, - cheapest and shortest way. The argument in its favor is, that ninety-four miles of the Road from the- City to this Borough are already completed; • hence Westward, 'the course would lead to Gettysburg• . and Chambers burg, over which ground a survey was made many years ago. This is the first tiine.hat it has entered into a'Philadelphia mind, we believe, that the Southern tier of . counties in this State was fit for any ,thing else than to pay taxes and tribute for the. benefit of that City. We will only say further now, that we learn that several' meetings httve been held in Philadelphia to consult about these matters, at the - head of which Were THOMAS P. Cora and 'other. enterprising citizens; and that they 'seem to be really in earnest on the subject.' Temperance at the Polito The friends of Temperance are organizing ' throughout the State of New York, with the• view of ,making an -effectual demonstration at ' the Tiolls next, spring—when the question of "Li cense or no License," is to be Submitted' to the voters in the different districts, In New Jersey the State 'remperance Society • has recommended siinuitaneous meetings to toc held on the 24th inst., throughout the. State, to take. into cOnsideratiotka merstorial to the Legislature for the passage of 4 act to authorize the people at their respective town meetings, in such manner as they may think fit, to determine whether any person. or aria , persons, wolf it any, how nanny per. sons in each township, should be licensed by them to sell intoxicating liquors by small measures.'' Capital Punishment. A meeting of the Ameristut Society for the pm motion of the Abolition of Capital Punishment, was held in Philadelphia last week, attended by a large number' of persons who aim to have ex • punged from the statute books such, e;nactineats v as recognize the "death penalti."

Oregop. The Wifsbingion Union, for the last few days, has been endeavoring to enlighten its readers as to the views anii . intended policy of the Administration upon the Oregon question ; but each successive effort, in stead of "unravelling the mystery, lf serves but to increase the doubt. The following lucid article is from the last paper: "In view ofthe ground taken bythe Bal timore convention, and by the President— in view of what we believe•to be the alinost universal sentiment of the democratic 'par ty and of large masses of the Whig party— in view, above all, of the rights and the dit ties and,the true interests of the U. States, we predict (though little given to political prediction) that betiwe the coining session of Congress expires, the democracy of Congress, and all the considerate patriots of the country, be they of what political party they may, will be found standing shoulder to shoo der with the vdministra- tion to demand that this joint occupation, saddled as it is with British legislation, shall take a new form, and plant itself up- on a new basis, and so work to new results,.; or else it shall wholly ceive.
