that PENNSYLVANIA is not to be

per shall fall, see to it that his name i s on the As

Whigs, are you Ready I
Are the Whigs of Adams fully prepared for the.
struggle of next Tuesday week We need scarce
ly remind you that it will be an important one—that
great results are dependent upon its issue. A blow
has been struck at Pennsylvania interests by the
Free-traders that now controll the Federal Govern
ment, designed to be fatal to the prosperity that
has marked her growinggreatness, and which WILL
prove destructive to that prosperity, unless her cit
izens arouse themselves at once, and by vigorous,
energetic action and expression, ward off the injury
with which they have been threatened. The Tar
iff Policyrotection to American InduStry—the
great, leading Policy, to which our Common
wealth is indebted for the high position which she
new occupies among her sister States, to which
she is indebted for the development of her immense
resources—to which her Politicians and Legislators
have uniformly pledged devotion—which has been
again and again endorsed by her Legislatures, and
advocated by her representatives in the National
councils—the policy of Protection to American
Industry—leas been sacrificed by our National Legis
lature to propitiate British and American Free-tra
derst And now the citizens of the great State,
thul insulted and thus abused, are asked to renew
their vows of fidelity to the men who have thus
sought to crush her intereststo cast their votes
once more in favor of the party, which, under hyp
ocritical professions of friendship for the Tariff of
1842, two years ago sought the confidence of the
people only to betray it. Will they thus cast their
votes ? Or will' they not rather give such expres
sion to their feelings on Tuesday week as shall
teach corrupt politicians rind unprincipled dema
gogues, that however they may be impOsed upon,
an honest people can never be seduced from devo
tion to cherished principles
An Igx.ample.
The Bangor Whig says that at the recent elec
tion in Dover, Maine, "Evarty Wino voter who
was in town, and could vote, deposited his ballot."
No wonder that our friends in Maine did so well
at the late election. Let the same spirit animate
the Whigs of every election district in Adams coun
ty and our majority will be worthy the political
reputation of the Young Guard.
cryWe aro certainly under obligations to our
neighbor of the "Compri:sal," for the kind sympa
thy which has induced him, "out of pure feeling for
our reputation," generously to advise us to "haul
off," and cease troubling him with allusions to his
"course upon the Tariff question." It is certainly
e kind in hill' thus to forewarn us. of approaching
"danger," and we shall givo his suggestions the
benefit of all the attention their disinterested libe-
ratify deserves. Nevertheless, .we are sorry that
our exposition of the "'political wriggling" of the
Free-trade leaders in this county should excite so
anuchuneasineas; but it may be a consoling reflec
don to ourtleighbor that heir not theAret who has had
roistat to think that "old documents arc ugly things."

the 'unpleasant ordeal will be fiver.

S SUE.
• • • "Abrive all other officers, we shall
need to have a man of the right principles and en
dowments for Governor. Who shall he be! I
answer Hon. JAMES COOPER, of Adams coun
ty. He is now in the prime of life,-in the full
vigor of his powerful intellect, and enthusiastical
ly devoted to the welfare of Pennsylvania. In all
his reports and speeches, both in Congress and the
State Legislature, his great concern for the inter
ests of our State is strikingly apparent_ It is his
darling hope and great ambition to see and be in
strumental in placing Pennsylvania upon the high
est pinnacle of prosperity and glory, to which she
as a State, can attain. I verily believe that, all
things considered, there is not a man in the Com
monwealth who, as Governor, could do as much
as JAMES Cuenca for the. State at large. For this
reason only (arid it is an all powerful one) I prefer .
him to other good men and true who have been
named in connection with the Gubernatorial Chair,
and respectfully urge it upOn my fellow citizens
to unite with me in calling him to that station.
The Whigs of Bedford had a meeting on the
10th inst. which was addressed by Mr. COOPER,
who happened to be passing through that place
on his way to Washington, Pa. The "Democratic

and says that it elicited frequ'ent and enthusias-

A fine teat that, neighbot—now for the illustra
tion. In 1844 the whole Locofoco party in Penn
syivania professed friendship for the Tariff of 1842,
while their presses and orators labored sedulously
to prove that this beneficent law was a "democrat
ic" measure, and that the ,representations of Mr.
Polk's hostility to it were all "Federal Falsehoods."
In 1846, these same presses denounce the Tariff of
1842 as "odious, unjust, and anti-democratic.," and
laud the British Bill as "INFINITELY SUPE
RIOR." We probably do not entirely appreciate
the idea of our neighbor as to what censfitutcs "sa

. this marvellously retetnbles it.

So says the ••State Book of Pennsylvania." We

and hence they were disposed to sustain the meas

belief that it would be safe in his hands ; but he
played them false, and they will remember him
on the second Tuesday of October. His friends
are making a desperate effort to sustain the Tar

Mr. Foster.
The Locofoco State Central Committee alarm
ed by the evidences of disaflection in their ranks,
have found it necessary to issue a long address to
the "faithful," in which they endeavor to plaster
up the defects in the official character of Mr. Fos
ter, and eulogise his, administtation. The follow
ing may be taken as a sample of the boldness with
which they go to work :
"In addition to Mr. Foster's qualifications ns an
engineer he is a thorough accountant and perfectly
familiar with the duties of every officer on the
line—of the manner of settling their accounts at the
accounting department, and has the vigilance and
energy to compel settlements to be made, and the
money to be accounted for at the proper time. We
feel no hesitation in affirming that as no defalca
tions hare occurred, (hat none will occur under his
superintcndancc.''•
The Italics are by the Locofofoco Committee.
The Lancaster Examiner gives the following by
way of a "clincher - to the above. It is an extract
from a report made to the Legislature, April sth
ISIS, and unamimonsly adopted by the House of
Representatives. and may be found in 2d volume
of House Journal, pages 690, 702 and 705. Let
it be remembered, too, that at the time this report
was made Wm. B. FOSTER had been a member of
the Board of Canal Commissioners/et-Iwo years:
•"It is a vain hope to expect to carry on our im
mense receipts and disbursements on the public
works. and also arising from an annual tax necessa
ry to par the interest on the public debt, unless
public officers will do their duty. It is deeply to

this character, but It is uselsss —LET THE

(0-The Locofoco editors of this district are play
ing an amusing game, to "keep up the spirits" of
the faithful. In York they give out that Dr. Ntai
will not receive the vote of the Whigs of Adams ;
while in Adams they tell us the Doctor cannot re
ceive the support of the Whigs of York ! Of
course it would not do to tell the story at home !

Mr. JAMES SAUNDERS, son of lion. R: M. Saun

for publishing a Whig paper in that Slate. After
deliberate reflection, Mr. S. says that he * "has
come to the conclusion that, with a few honora

knaves, whose only aim is to deceive the people
and provide for ihemseles." It will be recollected
that his father was the prime worker at the Balti

The Boston Atlas tells a good anecdote of Gen.
JOSEPH CH ANL/LER, of Augusta, .Maine, who pre
sided at a meeting of Independent i)etnocrats in
that town a few (lays ago. A locofoco, who had
more impudence than brains, asked Gen. Chand
ler if he was going over to the Federalists." Ile
said in reply, "that, in older tittles, the test of De
mocracy was the disposition to encourage lone
industry by the wearing of how-made apparel, the
protection of lonic labor, and Biro were called To,

The only intelligence of importance is an exten
sive failure of the Potato crop and an anticipated
rise in in the price of bread-ituffs. The failure is
said to be very universal. The reports from every
part of the United Kingdom are appalling, whilst
letter after letter from the continent of Europe', de
tails the ravages which this strange and unac
countable disease has made in Prance, Belgium,
Holland and Prussia.

soon as was anticipated. This Texas bu

our getting rid of the difficulty very\ soon.
It is now said that Santa Anna will lead
the Mexican Army in person and will re
fuse the Presidency. Ile was at his coun

Letters from Washington also state that

Ir7""DIREGT TAXATION instead
of THE TARIFF," says the Danville
Democrat, is the next Locofoco Adminis,
tration scheme about to be brought forward
by the party in power. Secretary Walker
has-introduced--the matter- into-the-so call
ed "Democratic Association," at Washing
ton city, and the New York Globe and
other leading Eastern and Western /Admin
istration papers are in full blast already for
this new wrinkle in Democracy.
Let the honest farmers and tax-payers
of this State reflect itrell before they aid in
electing men to office who are willing to
co-operate with the Polkites, if not directly
yet indirectly, to fasten upon us this new
fangled scheme of Locofocoism.
Quite an excitement was occasien
ed in New York City last week by a re
sistance on the part of the officers com
manding the vessels designed to convey
the California Regiment to their destiny
Lion, to the serving of several \Vrits. The
officer, who had in charge the Writ, was
ordered off the vessel by a Capt. Turner,
the latter giving orders to one of his men
to fire in case he did not do. Upon th
Deputy Sheriff reporting to the civil au
thorities of hie City next day, a posse o
some 300 men was ordered out, tirma
with cutlasses, &c, to botird the vessel ant
arrest Capt. Turner for contempt of the
civil law. In the meantime the officers
of the expedition got wind of what was
going on, and by the time the civil posse
arrived, the vessels were going out to Sc
under full sail.

threatened. A letter in the Republican, da

at last ended. On Wednesday evening, the

o'clock, the antics marched into, and took

By refraining from violent measures the
antics have saved themselves from a great

AN IMMENSE Mm.:TING was held in Fan

and Geo. 13. Emerson, Esq., were the
speakers. Mr. Adams spoke briefly on
taking the chair. The resolutions con
tained the severest denunciations oldie act
in which the meeting had its origin, and a
mong them was one recommending the
formation of a Committee of Vigilance,
whose duty it should be to take all need

MAINE ELECTION.—The whole
number of members of the House elected,
atlast accounts, was •10 Whigs, and 44 Lo
cos, leaving 67 to he elected. On the vote
of those yet to be elected will depend the
election of Governor, for which office there
was no choice by the people. It is proba
ble that the Locos will get a small majority
of the Legislature, and have the Governor,
which must be very consoling to them,
when they remember the State gave Polk
11,3.1 votes over Claw.
BE UN PR EJ DIU E D.—Let no fool
ish persons be so prdjudieed against this
now truly celebrated medicine as to de
spise this advice; let it he used immediate
ly on pain being felt ! No matter where it
may be, whether in the head or feet, wheth
er in the back or abdomen, whether arising
from external or internal cause, - use the Bran
(troth's Pills, and rely upon it. that the
pain will go, the body will be restored to
health as soon as nature has received suffi
cient ASSISTANCE from their effect.
The quantity of impure humors dischar
ged from the body by the action of Bran
dreth's Pills, is replaced in the course of a
few hours with new and pure blood, by
the digestion of a moderate meal. By
purging the body with this medicine, the
whole mass of blood becomes entirely ph
rifled and regenerated.
That the blood is the life of the body, I
presume is undisputed, therefore I shall
say that it being the SEAT or• LIED, it must
be the seat of disease. If disease be in the
blood, we should abstract the disease only.
not the blood. It is the impurities which
must be removed by purgation to secure
our health, in all states of weather, in all
situations, and in all climates. The blood,
like a good spirit, is alwayS trying to ben
efit the body by its struggles to expel im
purities. But it is not capable to effect its
own purification at all times: to do this it
must often have assistance. When the
blood is loaded with impurities, .especially
in this climate, the consequences may be
fatal, provided the blood is not purified at
once,. and this is sure to be effected if Bran
dreth's Pills are used.

Sugar Coated Pills are now -considered
preferable to ant - others, as they are both
pleasant and efficacious, and as they posses
tonic, aromatic, and aperient properties,
they remove all oppressive accumulations,
strengthen the stoniach, induce a healthy
appetite, and impart tranquility to the
nervous system. They also cure dyspep

ache, and foul stomach: Office 179 Green

SAND'S SARSAPARILLA.:--ThiS medicine
stands unrivalled, (based as it is on its own
intrinsic merits,) for the removal and rad
ical cure of those diseases to which it is
peculiarly adapted. Being entirely- veg
etable, and composed of the choicest se
lection of ingredients, which act in conso
nance with the laws that govern the ani
mal economy, the system is enabled to
throw off disease, take on a healthy action,
and the powers of nature resume their nat
ural functions. Thousands can, and have,
testified to its effcac7,- in removing various
chronic diseases, originating in an un
healthy and depraved state of the blood
and other fluids ; scrofula or enlargement
of the glands, rheumatism and lumbago,
salt rheum, ring -worm, barber's, itch, ecze
ma and other similar affections.„\are safely
and effectually cured by its use.
