irroli Friday next, an Election will be held
throughout the State for
,Borough and township
Officers. We suplioseit is scarcely necessary to
urge upon our friends the importance of a proper
attention to the matter. The necessity of main
taining an efficient organization of our forces at
all times, must suggest itself to every reflecting
voter. No party, however puz . iks principles,
1 can ever expect to succeed by means ot a few con
vulsive efforts made during the hour of immedi
ate danger, and then falling back into inactivity.
There must be a steady, continued, and perseve
ring struggle—the enemy must be faced upon all
occasions—not an inch of ground can be yielded
without hazarding the success of future contests:
Let every Whig voter, then, regard it his duty to
see that Whig officers are elected on Fridarnext,
and as he deposits his ballot, let, him do it in view
of the great .c_ontePts.inwhicli ,ere long be

The policy of "advertising;' as an essential to
success, in these days of busy competition,
self evident, that we have notyinfrecluentlybeen•at
a loSs rightly.to appreciate the; intlifference to their
own interests manifested by so large a number td
business men, in neglecting to avail themselves of
this important impetus to successful enterprise.—
There is no plainer proposition - in the world than
this—that, as a general rule, individuals will deal
where the best iteft most,convenielit bargains can
be secured, and that with the' great mass of the
citizens of the county, the most ready, it' not the
only, means of ascertaining where these conditions
are to be met with, 'is through the medium of
newspapers. Nu Mechanic--no business man, it
matters little what be his occupation, can expect
to succeed in attracting any liberal patronage with.
out holding out the proper induceMents, much
less can he expect to withstand the competition of 1
his more enterprising rival, who is regularly using
the colums ut a newspaper to force himself and
business upon the atention of the public. Now
we will venture to affirm that there are worthy
and excellent mechanics in this place, whose bus
inesi and facilities for meeting the wishes of custo
mers are whole unknown beyond the limits of the
borough and simply because, through miserably
false notions of economy, they have hesitated to in
t-ctir the expense of a few dollars in advertising.—
Ye'Nhese very individuals will be found continual
ly croaking,tybout "dull business," "hard times," •
&c., wandering" that their shops and places of
tipsiness should be'visited by so fewsestoneers,
'and seeking on every hand solution of the inys.
tery-that could have been explained in a singki
worth It is little else than folly' to -- expect per.
sons to purchase articles without knowing where
they- can be had, or to deal with individuals OT-1
whom they have never heard.
The proprietors of the numerous "patent medi
cines," with which every' community is inunda
ted, are wide awake to the immense benefits ne
cessanly accruing from regular and constant
advertising, and do not hesitate annually to
appropriate harp; sums of money to this purpose
—in some instances to amounts almost incredible.
It is said. that. Dr. Brandreth alone has expended -
not less than $5u0,000 in advertising has Pill's—
the „consequence has been the amassing of a prince
ly fortune from the sales of a single medicine:
We were led into these remarks with a view of
directing attention to the Cards of our advertising
friends in to-day's paper, and impressing upon
others engaged in business tiro propriet&of attend
ing to this matter, if they would not be outstrip
ped by more enterprisieg rivals. We are pleased
to recogniie in the unusual number of tfiese cards
a gratifying indication of a better, and, we trust,
growing appreciation of the benefits eladvertising !
What we have said in regard to the relations
subsisting between buyers and sellers in our midst,
will hold equally good, when transferred to the
cases of City Wholesale Dealers. If they would
secure the custom and patronage, of country mei.-
chants, they must make themselves, and their
busineis known through the medium of.the coun
try press. To such as may desire todo so, 'we
respectfully commend the "Star and -Banner," as
a desirable Medium for the purpose, Mr. PAL

cities, whose card will be found in a subsequent
column, will proMptly attend to all orders.
Congress.
The Oregon Question is still under discussion
in the Senate. The probability of the passage of
the Resolutions of Mr. Colquit recommending
compromise, &c. or of some similar proposition,
has completely disconcerted the movements of
Messrs. Allen, Gass, Hannegan, and the leaders of
the War party,' and draWn from the presses under
their control bitter denunciations of those Sena 7
ators, who have dared to sacrifice party to the
Claims of humanity and religion. One of the most
malignant of these assaults appeared in the Wash
ington Times—a paper understood to be-in the
interest of Messrs. Cass and Allen. It boldly and
unblushingly charged a corrupt coalition between
the British Minister at Washington on the one
side, and a few rotten Democrats with. the Whig
Senators on the other—and maintained that the
resolutienS offered by Mr. Colquit, were the first
fruit of the unholy alliance. Annexed is an ex
tract frOm the'article in the Times: '
"But, • what is more astonishing, and
showing' how false-hearted some of our
American Senators arc, while seemingly
contending for the interests of their coun
try and the welfare of its people, how trai
torous they dare . be in secret collusions
with our hereditary enemy ; all these in
trigues to force the Administration into
compromise ; all these plots to abandon
our native soil ; these bargains to disgrace
the American nation, and of their substance
to Jill the maw of the rapacious British lion,
were canvassed and arranged at the
:Brit
ish Minister'B own table, within the lapse
of a few days, where a meeting for this
specific and express - purpose was had, at

ish claim who - arc comprised in the Whig
ranks of the • Senate, with, (as we- said
above) a few exceptions from the West; of
men who could not in their hearts !nee=

OLlO—Cointhon Schools.
We are indebted to a formerfellow-citizen, Hon.
SAMUEL GrA.r.ow.i.r, for a copy of his Annual Re
port as Superintendent of the Common Schools of
Ohio, made to the Legislature of that State. Mr.
G. seems to be ardently devoted to the great cause
of Popular Education, and, in exhibiting the condi
tion and prospects of the school system in his adopt
ted State, seeks for no "honied speech" in which
to convey a truthful representation of its defects
and inefficiency. After an examination of the
data furnished him. by the District Reports, it is
thought more than probable "that% faithful ' de
scription would eMbrace a groteitjue scenery of
broken benches, rocking slabs,:broken sashes, ab
sent panes, gaping walls, yawning roofs, and floors
bowing with infirmity, forcibly suggesting Fal
staff's account of his regiment: "No eye bath
seen such scare-crows. There's but a shirt and
a half in all my company, and the halfshirt is two
napkins tacked together, and thrown over the shoul
ders like a herald's coat without sleeves."
During the past year, the Superintendent has
devoted considerable attention to thecause of Edu
cation, and, by meansof circulars, 'correspondence,
personal consultation, and public addresses, endeii
vored to awaken and concentrate a sentiment fa-
vorable to immediate and energetic action upon
the sullject. The whole system is reviewed by
•
Mr. Galloway in his Report, the more glaring de
fect's pointed out, and various salutary reforms sug
gested,to the law-Makers of the State. The fol
lowing extracts from his retinuks upon the "Qual
itication's of Teachers," we are inclined to believe,
will not be very inapplicable to some not very re
.,.
mote sections of our own-State : :
“Although competency in a teacher;is a
matter of the highest moment, yet suitable

A Storm In the Senate.
On Thursday week, a rich Kole took place in
the Senate of the U. States, during the discussion
of the Oiegon question. Mi. H.tywoon of North
Carolina. (of the Calhoun branch of the Locoloco
party) had the floor, in continuation of a 'speech
commenced on the previous day. He was op-
posed to war, in favor of compromise; and main
tained that those who announced the President op
posed to an' amicable settlement of the difficulty
upon the basis of the .19th degree, misrepresented
his real views. From the fact of Mr. Haywood's
being on terms of the closest and most confiden
tial intimacy with the President, his remarks
were illy relished by the war Senators, several of
whom ‘vereimmediately brought to their feet.—
The. Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot thus describes the scene : .
Mr. Haywood resumed and concluded
his very able speech in favor of giving the
notice and in favor of a compromise upon
the line of 49 degrees.. This speech colia
manded attention enough to disturb the
Senators who are for fifty-four forty, and
particularly Mr. Allen of Ohio and . Mr.
Hanegan of Indiana. •
Both of these Senators demanded, and
in a manner as excited'as it was perempto
ry, to know if the senator from North Car
olina spoke .for :the .Executive-when.he de
dared that the President would comprom
ise the question upon the line of- forty
nine.
Mr. Haywood, in reply to Mr. .Allen,
said that what he had said he would abide
by. • But no Senator with an airof person
al authority should demand of him what
he - had said, and, whether or not he. spoke
for the Executive.: .:He had written what
he had - spoken before he uttered it, and
now that his speech was delivered, he should
.print it.
Mr. Alien, in great perturbation, went
on to_ demand, .(1 could. not .hear - -what,)
but he was immediately called-to order by
Mr. Westcott of Florida.
Mr. Haywood said he 'would save the
Senator. from .ohicia great deal of trouble,
by telling him at mica4hat he should not
answer his questions.
Air. Allen—«l am .glad -then that - the
Senator. lakes .back what he has said."
Mr. Haywood-4 am glad to see tfkat
my speech takes. (Great laughter.) .••
Mr. Hannegan now rose to argue that
Texas and Oregon were twin .questions,
and had been's° considered when before
Congress a year since. ' He held too, that
the Exteutive' Wottabe ineunceivably!base
if ,he, compromised the. .otegon question
short of 54 40.
'. would, and,- here I_ ;quote his town
"be beyond resurrection,. and reach
a fall ; - sO prtifound—a daniiiiition so ',deep,
that -the ,hand of resurrection could- not
reach him.• llis falsehood Would he great
cr• than that of the !I:erpent hitnaelf." . . •
Mr: 11. was also pariieularly disturbed -
bra retti'ark of Mr. llaywootk that all the
excitempnthich had ari`s eti Num this
questioii,
,was inconsequence of a desire
of eertaih Small Men large places.—
Better do so, said the Senator from Indiana
than be the subservient supple follower
down the back stairs of the Executive.—
And let the Senator from North Carolina
remember toe the maxim which says those
who live in glass houses should nut thruw
stones.
In conclusion he again denounced the
Rxecutive as haVingAied beyond the father . ;
of lies himself, if be , should ever be willing
to take less than .54 40. This debate was
infinitely amusing to those who heard it.
Corre:Tondence. of the U. St dtr.: Gazet tr.
WANIIINUTON, Morel) 7.184(1.
The piquant and racy debate in the Sen
ate on Thursday, • has afforded ahundant
material for conversation• and speculation
among the political circles here ever since.
The first inquiry - is, did Air. Haywood
speak the sentiments of Mr. Polk, or does
Messrs. Allen, ('ass, Hannegan and Breese
speak his sentiments? Will he stand gut
for the whbk of Oregon, to 51 40, or will
he settle the boundary if he can, upon 49 ?
If Mr. flay wood has cxpresssd the views
of the President, as is believed by many
well informed men, there is no danger of
any war, and it accounts for the adminis
tration having constantly declared that there
would be no conflict • with 'England, and
for not having recommended . appropria
tions to increase the Navy mid Army, and
to put our fortifications in a state of defence.
Mr. Haywood, as I have belbre remarked,
ha's a more intinude personal intercourse
With Mr. troll: than any other man in the,
Senate, and this fact itself is sufficient to
warrant the inference that he speaks for
him. It is to be noted too, that Mr. Hay
wood did not deny that tae spoke by author
ity. lf he did not thus speak, it was a
duty he owed to himself and the President
to have declared that he had too authority
to-speak for 'din, not having done so, the
inference-is- irresistable, that he' was au- -
thorised to say what he did.
There was something too, in Mr. IL's
manner which spoke volumes. While
Mr. Allen appeared to be - boiling with rage
and wrath, and Mr. Hannegan was excited
into the use of the strongest expressions,
Mr. Haywood was as cool and collected as
if lie were silting in. his own ,parlor in 4
calm summer's morning. This calmness
was highly provoking to - Mr. Allen, who
found it.impossible to 'disturb the -serenity
and equanimity of Mr. H. whose cool' re,
torts and pungent repartees stung him to
the quick.
No man, not,conscious. of the - strength
of his position, could have manifested so
much unconcern in a matter of that sort.
lie had goaded Allen into perfect madness,
but he was the only Person in'.the Senate
who seemed to be unconscious of it; 'and
perfectly unmoved. watched the couri
tenance of Mr. Benton (luring Hr. Hay
-
wood's speech, and the scene which after-'
wards occurred; he appeared lobe delight
ed. He is expected to speak and take his
position upon 49. But the question is, if Mr.
Polk abandons the 54 40 mem, what will they
do? Will they support his administration?
No: they will not, if they are to be 'relied
on. Will they go with the South in that
case fora repeal of the Tariff? no ; not if
their assertions can be believed. .
But then again, suppose Mr. Polk stands'
up with them for the wholeof Oregon, war
or no war; will the South g o with him, or
will they, aS'Mr. Haywood said he would,
turn their backs upon him t I have no
doubt they will.
In either case then he is likely • to be
backed by his friends, and it is only a
choice with 'him, by which portion of them
he prefers such backing.
It is pretty clear that both sections of
the Locofoco party, believe they spent - the
views of the President, and have correctly
represented his attitude upon this Oregon
question; but it is equally clear that both
cannot be right, or, rather, that he cannot
stand upon. 54 40, and 49 at the same
time. These two lines are a -little. too wide
apart for his stride.. It is also clear that
he must sometime or other choose which
he will stand on, and make that choice pub
licly known. I think the inference is ve
ry strong that he has deceived one section,
or the other, of his political :friends, and
that the day- of reckoning must come.
• So in regard to the Tariff; the language
which he uttered in the Kane letter, or
which, more properly was put into his
mouth, it is now said, by Mr. Buchanan,
will become the subject of animadversion.
This syliilline leaf you know, was inter
preted indifferent - sections of the Union to
have a directly opposite meaning. - Those
interpretations, as well as the :Delphic re
sponse itself, will be pretty roughly _cx 7
amined; and their dishonesty and duplicity
exposed when the British Tariff bill of Sir
Robert Walker comes upon the lapis.
Mr. Polk will find that he cannot alWay's
ride two horses at the same time.
double dealing—his silence and equivo - cal
responses, have stood -him. in good stead
thus far ; but the time is, new approaching
When there must-be-a - clearing up, an un
masking, and we shall then see•how
who have'been deceived and humbugged
will relish the joke.

NO CHANGES IN THE WEATH
' er will materially affect the body: if the
blood is pure. Every individual, even the
most diseased, has within him a germ or
root of that original pure blood of our com
mon mother Eve ; which germ of pure
blood is the supporter-of his life, and is in
constant struggle to-throw off the heteroge
neous, eorrupt humors, which cause disease
in the indiVidual. By purging the body of
the diseased individual of its bad hunters,
you allow the germ of pure blood to gain
ground and to make blood of a better qual
ity, and azdie s .progressively until the whole
mass is regenerated; for the good .princi
ple or good pure blood is always striving to
be predominant over the bad or diseased
humors. Let, all who wishto be of a fine
healthy habit ; who wish to have a sound
mind in a sound body ; who desire to be
able to stand without injury the continual
changes of this climate ; who desire to have
healthy children, use the Brandreth Pills,
which will effectually cleanse the blood Of
all bad or corrupt humori, and restore the
human body to the state of health enjoyed
before the introduction of Mineral medi
cines. ReMember Brandretli 'Pills place
